Bennett For the RED the BLUE! As Central turns into a new decade, we students are finding changes around the old campus and our lives. We came back from summer to find refrigerated drinking fountains that actually have cold water, carpeting at the outside doors to soak up the winter slosh, a freshly painted third floor, new padlocks on the antique lockers, and the addition of several new trophies one being the state title for boys baseball. For Drivers Ed. students, the gas shortage has all but eliminated range time, while the addition of Mrs. Memos to the Drama Department enhances our school productions. r , ft 7 Wilh all ihc heart and soul into their music.

Opening 3 Sweet Summertime without a lunch pass, allowance of a Homecoming bonfire, Mr. Andrews as new assistant principal, and Mr. Gray directing city-wide administration. We not only have a new look, but a totally new optimistic attitude about the year. The newly reorganized Pep Club is doing a great job of boosting school spirit, while the rekindling of a drill team is attracting school-wide enthusiasm. D-Mens formed a partnership as SEOWA makes its debut. We even have a security guard to watch over the grounds. As Central students, we are all playing more important roles in the community. More of us take on jobs and vote. Many of us went to see the President and the Pope as they toured Iowa. The realm of our world is no longer just the campus that surrounds the school. As we enter a new decade, each and every one of us faces our own private turning points. Now look through these pages and share with us some of this year's TURNING POINTS.

This teamwork shows the Central spirit. Photo by M. Bennett. Revitalization in sadly lagging school spirit reflects change as we turn into the eighties. There is more willingness to become involved in school activities. Students have worked out a balance between school, jobs, anc outside activities which has made a great improvement in Student Life and Organizations. A maturity and good sense of priorities is present in the student body. With more demands made on free time than ever before, students are making room and adjusting for more activities. The organization of groups such as Pep Club, Drill teams, SEOWA, and Shutterbug shows that students, in spite of jobs and other time consuming tasks, have given school activities a place high on their list of priorities. This willingness to devote time and energy showed in the fact that a homecoming bonfire was organized and held by students. The West football pep rally in the fall, with a horse and rider in attendance certainly is another prime example of the lengths students go to spark school spirit. Inspite of the importance of money to students, and the need for jobs that arises from this; students have struck out a compromise. They are better organized and are able to work, study, plan for the future and be involved all at the same time. In a time when adults worry about having too much leisure time, students are taking on more responsibilities than ever before. STUDENT LIFE ORGANIZATIONS An ideal fall afternoon, «he twelve homecoming candidates are to be found next to the Vanderveer duck pond. The homecoming candidates are: Sandy Fahrenkrug. Diane Sloat, Felicia Ross. Becky Meier, Meg Foley, Jennifer McFedries, Lisa McManus, Anita Sharp, Mary Pat Hofmann, Beth Meyers, Margie Keeley, and Mary Schmidt. Photo by M. Bennett.

The cold temperatures did not affect enthusiasm and during the field presentation, over 800 balloons were let loose from the field, creating a fantastic effect. The final, most enthusiastically anticipated event, the Homecoming dance, got mixed reviews. After pre- dance parties and or dinner, couples gathered in the gym to dance to the sounds of The Butlers . Although the band to many was a disappointment, the decorations were good. The theme was carried out with sparkling stars and blue and silver metallic streamers. To end an enjoyable evening, many couples went to more parties or ate a late dinner to stretch out the night a bit more before calling it a night or morning as the case may be. And those deciding whether or not to be in by curfew felt like crying, Aw Mom, heaven can wait! The traditional bonfire returned this year, providing something for everyone. Games and music for the rowdier Imps, and for the romantics, a roaring bonfire. Bill Schebler, Todd Chittendon. Diane Iglehart, Tom Baustian. and Randy McGee gather to chat. Photo by D. Bettis.

The escapades of Suzanne Sophomore and her search for a perfect senior date on the morning announcements sparked students thoughts about Homecoming. The theme Heaven Can Wait was an appropriate one, as dreams and ideas were fused into reality under the direction of several varied committees to make this one of the more successful homecomings. The roaring flame of a bonfire attracted about 200 students on the Thursday before the game. Crazy games helped to warm those who strayed too far from the fire, and the anticipation of game and dance fueled much speculation as to the outcome of the game and queen election. On Friday, everyone soon knew the Queen was Becky Meier, and the ever quickening whirlwind of activity continued with the best aud in the Class of '80's memory. The well- written and entertaining take-off on the movie Heaven Can Wait was followed by a rowdy pep aud. Cheerleaders led one cheer after another, as an electric current of excitement radiated through the gym.

Attendance at these social gatherings is always up despite the rising cost of that magical liquid used to make the car run! Food is also an important aspect of the average student's lifestyle. Hardees, McDonalds, and Happy Joe's are always on the way — no matter where one happens to be going. There are even times when a teenager can be found in places such as Jumer's, the Dock, or the Drawbridge, although this is usually only on special occasions and after weeks of pinching pennies . Money is an everpresent problem to students everywhere, but somehow it is only a slight damper on the social life. After all, if a student talks or pleads long enough, mom and dad will maybe give in to an advance — on next year's allowance!? Rack� upon racks of current fashions surround Molly Platter, while she searches for the perfect'' outfit. Many stores such as the Limited cater almost exclusively to teenage tastes. Photo by D. Bettis. Stuck with a ten dollar allowance? Let's see — that's $3.50 for that great movie, $2.50 for five days of cafeteria food, $1.00 for the weekly athletic event (if purchased at school) and three dollars for chow after the game. That leaves nothing. Ten dollars blown in one short week. Where does one get the money for gasoline, clothes, school supplies, and other necessities? Students today are feeling the pinch of inflation. The problems of how to support a car, an ever-changing wardrobe, and eat well on a limited budget leave many students in an extreme state of bewilderment. For many, the answer to this dilemma is a part-time job. Students work in restaurants, hospitals, clothing stores, and anywhere they can earn a buck. Homework may suffer just as long as the money keeps rolling in. What happens to the money from a part- time job? Responsible students put some in the bank to prepare themselves for college costs. That still leaves some spending money. Students find Northpark a favorite shopping place with its variety of stores. Music is important to a teenager and so ihocs play an important part of any wardrobe, .s Bridget Montgomery and Gretchen Cosby liscover while shopping at Northpark on an ■fternoon after school.

But the student probably fails to realize that history was made in Iowa this past year when two prestigious men visited Iowa and Davenport. On August twenty-second, the President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, and his family, sailed into Davenport aboard the Delta Queen and were greeted by hundreds of Quad-Citians. During his visit, the president answered questions at KSTT radio station and Keith Royal, a Central student, was one of the callers. Afterward, the president attended a reception of Democratic supporters and concluded his visit with a tour of the Deere and Company administration center. Seeing a president in Davenport will be an event long remembered. Pope John Paul II stepped foot on Iowa soil on October fourth. He celebrated mass on Living History Farms in Des Moines. Approximately 350,000 lowans united for this event. The most influential religious leader in the world was strict on moral issues. Many people respected him for speaking out. Pope John Paul II gave lowans a feeling of pride when he praised the many farmers. The Pope, coming from a basically agricultural Poland, expressed the need for them to preserve the land for future generations. In his speech he stated, “You who live in the heartland of America have been entrusted with some of the earth's best land. You are stewards of some of the most important resources God has given the world . The event will no doubt stay in the hearts and memories of all who witnessed and shared in these historic visits. Security was a necessity during both history- making visits. Photo by D. Shaw. A chosen few of the multitudes receive the Host in the communion ceremony during the Pope’s visit. Photo by T. Webb.

Student Life Pope And Carter 13 THIS IS Looking at the halls in between classes, it's hard to imagine that there are about two thousand students who attend Central. What can really boggle the average student's mind is to think of all the different means of transportation that these people use to get to school. One of the least favorite methods is walking, though many parents would like to make this popular again. Walkers would like to think this method helps tone up their legs and gives them a chance to breathe some fresh air. Walkers should bear this in mind the next time they have sixteen books to carry and are trudging their way through four-foot snow drifts. Some students live too far away to walk to school, so they ride the school bus. It's always fun to hear the smash of snow balls against the bus window. Bus riders relish the chance to laugh at the walking kid who lives two and nine-tenths miles from school; one tenth of a mile from the required three. A bus rider's constant nightmare is to run to within one block of the bus stop, only to see the bus pulling away, leaving the saddened student stranded. Such are the perils of a bus rider. Bicycles have become less frequently seen at high school. The student with a bike chain around his neck, a sack lunch gripped between his teeth, a load of books in one hand and the other free for balancing the contraption has become a thing of the past. Now it's motorcycles and moped. Not only are they faster than a bicycle, but they don't require as much labor to operate. Also, when a student No gas and ample parking places are two advantages of a bicycle. Dennis McGrath locks his bike for the day at the Trailer 3 rack. Photo by S. Miller. Students without other mejns of getting to school often have a parent drop them off on Main Street right in front of school. Photo by S. Burk THE WRY WE GO arrives at school on a motorcycle, he seems to have a little more sophistication than the sweaty bike rider who gets to first period gasping for air. Then comes the day when a student gets his license. No longer does Mommy drop him off at the front door. He now has authority. He can use the student parking lot and leave school to go out for lunch. Due to the price of gas, some students form carpools. Like a locker crammed with loose papers and the student slamming it before anything slips out, such is the loading of a car. Ten students cram into a Volkswagon and the last one in slams the door before anyone slips out. Being able to drive by their senior year is what virtually every student dreams of. Student's transportation problems today include where to park, getting to the bus on time, and worry about bike thefts. But to any observer of Central, with its constant circle of screeching dragsters, walking and biking students, it would appear that studens are resolving these difficulties. Bicycle riders like Brian Teglmcicr are becoming less common as moped riders Dan Griffith and Jeff Smallwood arc taking over the bike racks. Photo by M. Bennett The wait to board the school bus to go home in the north parking lot gives Central students a chance to meet with friends before ending a school day. Photo by S.

It's something CHS students take for granted, but without it, many students would be deprived of their favorite hangouts. The most popular type of hang-out is steps. Everywhere one looks students fill the stairways, doing homework with a step as their desk or just relaxing and discussing the day's happenings. Some more obvious hang-outs to passersby are the Civil War statue and the Trinity Cathedral lawn. Both spots are favored because of their locale, so close and yet so far away from school rules and regulations. One of the more picturesque spots is Fire escape stairways offer a vantage point for Rand McCoy and Alan Lee to concentrate on the antics of the lunch period crowd. Photo by S. Miller.

Miller. underneath any one of several large oaks which provide shade and a different atmosphere from the congested halls of Central. For those who like more action during their free time, the front lawn of CHS provides plenty of room for football or frisbee fanatics, as well as buildings nearby to lean on as one observes the surrounding activity. If the weather isn't just right, some like to gather in Study Hall for a game of cards or conversation. The basement hallway is another hang-out in poor weather, with the wide window sill near the cafeteria being a favorite spot of many. With it's beautiful architecture and variety of people in the center of a busy city, one never lacks for some place to hang-out .

Webb. 0 Student Lifc Hangouts 17 FAVORITE FADS Take a good look at students and you will find that without realizing it, students reveal their personalities by what they wear. Many seek change in order to make life more interesting. Although everyone cannot afford to buy the latest fashions, the way things are worn says a lot too. Students were found dressed in classier styles. High, spiked heels elevated those dressed in the popular pleated and slit skirts. Clogs were worn with the more casual pants and skirts. Vests livened up blouses and were combined with skirts and dress pants. Even the guys were more dressed up in straight legged, often dressier pants. Collarless shirts were seen more, and guys wore handsome sweaters throughout the winter. Girls and guys found warmth during the winter months of cold and snow with puffy, brightly colored, downfilled ski jackets and vests. Jeans, the one thing that never seems to go out of style, were made fancier by designers like Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Liz Claiborne. Life is brightened and made more interesting by the clothes people wear. A wide variety of personalities was portrayed by their dress. Ready for the disco.

Soon-to-be-voting students as well as faculty found this word vital in forming opinions on the political can- didates. On November 26, the campaign got under way with the arrival of Chip Carter to the Central auditorium. The Iranian crisis was a topic of major concern. Carter said the decision would rest with his father and that no one has ever told the United States what to do and no one ever will. Students re- sponded well to Carter's statements on abortion, E.R.A., and the draft. His visit started election fever around the campus.. On December 14, Chris Kennedy Law- ford, son of actor Peter Lawford and nephew of Senator Edward Kennedy, stopped at Central to campaign for his uncle. Once again the major emphasis was on Iran. Lawford criticized the Carter administration for its handling of the crisis. He urged students to be- come politically active. Other major political events took place in Davenport. A breakfast for Republi- can George Bush, Democratic Senator Kennedy spoke at St. Ambrose College RACE IS as did Republican Senator Howard Ba- ker. The issue of draft registration was a major topic. On January 21, the campaign made its official start with the Iowa caucusses. This was the first chance to see who was actually leading the races. Laura Steinke, a junior delegate at her pre- cinct, said, 'The fact that there was a huge, unexpected turnout made it very interesting. I thought that being a ju- nior delegate was a way for myself as a non-voter to get involved. An awareness of current events and of political happenings showed that stu- dents wanted to be considered mature and concerned Americans.

In the fall, the Sophomore Party got the sophomore class together and promot- ed strong class spirit. A Toys for Tots dance was for charity as well as fun, with the toys collected being donated to underprivileged children. The Sophomore Party had become somewhat of a tradition. It was a great way for sophomores still a little unac- customed to a new school to get to meet others and compare experiences and sophomore gripes about upper- classmen teasing. The night was for sophomores and they took advantage of it. Because at the start of the dance, in the words of Dawn Kenney, they needed more spirit , some sophomores started games like leap frog and hop skotch. Although some lamented the lack of a live band, the records were a democratic way of handling different musical tastes. The Toys for Tots dance was held in the gym after a victorious basketball game against Burlington. Toys and a student l.D. got students free admis- sion to the game and the dance after- wards. Because it was a great game, Penni Grutzmacher enthused, Every- one was rowdy enouh to make it a good dance. There were a few com- plaints, though. Julie McAllister stated, The guys shouldn't have been so scared to ask the girls to dance. But the dance was perhaps most expressively summed up by Anne Challed, who concluded, After surviving a slow start, everyone raised a 'little Hell' with some help from Cheap Trick. A new dance? Sophomores Margaret Gaffney and Chris Svebakken resort to an old fashioned game of leap frog during the Sophomore dance. Photo by M. Bennett. Since the guys weren't dancing.

Student Life Dances 23 CHAOTIC CROWDS One way students measure a year is by whether or not the auds were good. Some enjoyed the various types of auds — informative, enter- taining, and pep; while others forced themselves to sit for what seemed like endless hours. Probably the most well-liked assem- bly was the homecoming aud. Cheerleaders got the fans fired up for the big homecoming game with challenge cheers. Jonna Archer, Brad Mann, and Rick Deregules got it to- gether and put on an amusing skit about a plain girl who became homecoming queen and went to the dance with the big football jock. The most exciting moment was the crowning of homecoming queen, Becky Meier. The homecoming aud was definitely one of the best in re- cent years. Another popular aud was the out- door pep rally for the Central-West game. A unique touch was added to the aud when Penni McCubbin, dressed as the blue devil, paraded through the Central fans on her horse. Magnum. But the aud wasn't complete until Senior Class Presi- dent Arlyn Stotts gave his pep talk from the balcony in front of the school. Many students got involved in the pep auds. ”1 liked the Cen- tral-West aud best because it got ev- erybody together and enthused about our school's rival, stated Maggie Campbell. Another of the better auds was the Christmas Program put together by the CHS music department. The or- chestra, A Cappella, and Senior En- semble put forth their combined ef- forts to perform Christmas music that put everyone into the spirit of the season. Sometimes auds were provided to keep students informed about cur- rent events. When Chip Carter came to Central, he discussed his father's campaign issues for the '80 election and gave students the chance to ask questions. The archery aud was rather unusual. Bob Markworth, who had appeared on The Merv Griffen Show, amazed students with his ability to shoot balloons held in his wife, Mayana's, teeth while he was blind-folded and on his back. Whether one attended an aud to be informed or just entertained, the as- semblies had something for every- one. Spirit, enthusiasm and confidence arc gener- ated at the Pep Aud for the football game against West. Photo by M. Bennett. 24 A date, a date, finally a date!

Each day, the span of time between the first and last bells could have been complete agony without a little reminder that there was life outside of Algebra. Many stu- dents discovered a place to regain their sanity amidst the bustling of an end- less school day. Upon opening the locker, pictures of rock and roll groups, sex symbols, comics, and ath- letes jumped out at and revitalized the weary student. Why did a girl plaster her locker from top to bottom with photos of gorgeous men or a guy spice up his locker with beer slogans and athletic pictures? Anything to add a little color to the lifeless metal in the basement or add some life to the grey wood on the sec- ond floor. Pin-ups were not the only adornment for a locker. Memo boards were used to write notes to friends or quickly jot down homework assignments between classes. The most memorable morning of the school year had to be the day when students dragged themselves to school with their key clutched between their fingers only to find a little round ob- ject obstructing the passage to the nec- essary supplies for the day. After a trip to the office and arriving late to first period, the problem of mastering the silver padlock was soon solved. From the very first day, students felt a need to make their locker into a work of art. And on the very last day when it was time to clean out the locker, students relived the fine memories that their oblong crate of the past year se- curely harbored for them. The great pastimes of students include skiing and cute guys. Suzanne Solomon also finds room to display advertisements for beverages. Photo by M. Bennett.

Kane. 28 THE PUSH TO WORK Up at 6:00 each morning, school from 8-12, and a job for up to 8 hours after that seemed to be the latest trend. The working mothers of the 70's were be- ing replaced by the working students of the 80's! The number of students who worked a part or full time job had been greatly on the increase, and in a poll taken by the Blackhawk newspaper, a whopping 65% of the students polled held a job. That percentage created an economic flow of 6 million dollars a year for only one student body. Why this sudden push for a job and MONEY? It's become a part of our society that kids are supporting them- selves a lot more, even if their parents are well off, explained Tom Buis. Since there's more of a push to have a good job, school has been pushed to the background. The trend became more obvious; the use of classes as a babysitter was no longer plausible for students. The need for experience and a touch of the real world where classroom knowledge could be applied was valued as being necessary. Some students used high school to gain on-the-job learning through Co-op programs. The learn- ing-working experience was helpful when college wasn't in future plans. More traditionally, jobs were some- times dreaded and whether because of the customers or fellow employees, the hours were put up with. Once every two weeks, that slip of paper with the words Pay To The Order Of made all those hours of sacrifice and sweat worthwhile. Maria Roslansky and Scott McMullen are examples of these more traditional job holders. For Maria, her job at Garb-Age supplied the necessary dol- lars, and as she said, I like the clothes and other benefits. Scott works as a stock boy at Walgreen's, a job which he doesn't plan on making his career. I work mostly for the money. The two types of working students; the traditional and the new part time student; working for money, the bene- fits, and much more.

Student Life Jobs 19 HEART TO HEART What better way to express one's feel- ings toward another than with candy and flowers? Students were given this chance through the efforts of Student Council and the successful candy- gram. Anything from a casual 'Have a good day' to the more serious hugs and kisses were sent along with a little something sweet to set the tone for a memorable Valentine's Day. Faces lit up as the tokens of affection were de- livered and many proudly displayed their gifts throughout the day. Along with the Valentine grams, a bulletin board was transformed into an array of Senior sweethearts in their earlier years. For one thin dime, a bal- lot could be cast for one of the candi- dates to be chosen sweetheart for a day, with the winners being Beth Max- well and Bob Warner. Despite all of the friction in the Mid- dle East, the draft, and the conflict about the upcoming Summer Olym- pics, there was a feeling of warmth as young love and friendships were ex- pressed through candy-grams and flowers. With some time out from her duties of Chair- person for Valentine s Day, Beth Maxwell has a chance to personally deliver some candy-grams. Photo by M.

Student life Valentine's Day 31 LEPPIflG IflTO THE 80’S In disappointing and critical times, people were always looking for bigger and better things to come and students were no exception. When it came to finding opinions on what life will be like in the future, one only had to ap- proach the average student to obtain a full preview of things to come. Melissa Reed has some unique views on future music. I think it will be punk rock like the Flying Lizards and the Talking Heads, because it's just getting popular and a lot of people like it. World War will start before the year 2000, stated Dan Knickrehm. And if women want to go into the lines, then let them. Dan certainly hopes diet- ing will go out and feels that some kind of action over the renovation of Central will be taken when the third floor collapses. Bob Helean does not want women fighting in the lines unless they are well qualified. On fads. Bob feels that marijuana smoking is going out but rock 'n' roll will last forever . Disco will go out but rock 'n' roll will always be, was the philosophical viewpoint of Bret Dunbar. Carla Sturdevant also emphasized the fact that girls are going towards a dressier trend. Skirts will probably go shorter — but not to mini-skirts. In the event of a war, E.R.A. will pass right away, was Carla's political view. Short skirts will be coming back along with knee socks and tights, ac- cording to Dawn Cook. On the subject of war. Dawn is another who feels E.R.A. will pass if war comes. I think designer jeans will be in for a while longer. Disco's going out and rock 'n' roll or punk rock is 'in'. These were fad predictions by Julie McAllister. She is another who be- lieves that a third world war is coming as well as a Carter victory. 32 If we want equal rights, it's only fair to draft women, says Maeve Clark. I think the crisis will end up in war and the Shah will be killed if he tries to go back. On fads, Maeve says that rac- quetball is getting bigger and bigger ind punk rock is growing while disco is going out. On the up-coming elec- tion, Maeve thinks the winner will definitely not be Kennedy. He's using bis family name and cutting down the President too much in a time of need. Pat Aarons profoundly exclaimed that if E.R.A. gets passed, I want women in combat. On a lighter note, Pat thinks Bo Derek will definitely be the sex symbol of the 80's. The political views of Beth Freese are not very optimistic. Russia will take over Afghanistan and soon there will be a Communist Middle East. The hostages will be sent home, though. Go on and go to the Olympics be- cause politics have nothing to do with them, emphasizes Suzanne Solomon. With all the athletes training, they should go to the Olympics. Suzanne doesn't want to go to war and believes E.R.A. will eventually pass. Carter will win ... he seems to be doing well in the primaries. Such were the election views of Lori Border. Lori doesn't want E.R.A. or the draft- ing of women to fight. Maxine Harrington has opinions on upcoming fads. I think ankle length designer jeans with tight legs will be in and mini-skirts are coming back. Weaves and French braids with decora- tions are going to be in for all races. And disco's out, soul's in. Maxine predicts a third world war, and a Carter victory in November. Clothes will be a major difference ac- cording to Stephanie Silvan. Designer jeans will be here for a long time and long dresses will be coming in. Hair will be going longer with curls also. Who will be the sex symbol of the 80's? Me, states modest Breck Las- chansky. The psychic says, The Iran- ians are gonna let the hostages go. They should draft women, but don't put them in combat. Many fads will be disappearing ac- cording to Mary Dirlam. Disco will go out just like other dances and de- signer jeans will also go out. Mary thinks E.R.A. won't pass and Central will be torn down and another school will be built in a better location. I think the situation in Afghanistan will definitely lead to war. I also be- lieve that women will be drafted may- be not into combat, but so they be- come a part of the war in some way. Such were the ideas Tami Michleson had on political issues. I don't believe in the E.R.A. and I don't encourage drafting women. The third world war will begin with the killing of the hostages in Iran, ac- cording to Brenda Hanna. On fads, she says, Baggy pants with straight legs will come in and computer music as well as science fiction movies will be- come popular. Comedy will replace violence on T.V. but there will always be soap operas. Student Lifc Lejp Into 33 Devil's Diary: K. Washburn, H. Wilber- Ed.-in- Chief; B. Christian - advisor, J.

It was Devil's Diary. Devil's Diary included student writing and artwork. Editor Holly Wilber ex- plained, We tried to make it represen- tative of writing talents at Central. In producing a larger book, plays and es- says were included. A superstition writing contest created some interest; from 120 entries, works by Lynette Johnson, Beth Kurylo and Keith Royal were chosen as the winning entries. The staff members and advisors had a special feeling about working on Dev- il's Diary. Wilber commented, I really enjoy writing, it's a release for me. I enjoy reading other types of writing, it gives insight into writing itself. La- berne Thomas got into Devil's Diary through Creative Writing class. He commented, It was a way to express my feelings. Devil's Diary was put out by a dedicated group who cared not so much for personal recognition, but for the hope of interesting others in writing. Drama Club What do the words Birdie , A.O.L., contest, and Muncie, Indiana have in common? Most people would reply nothing. But to a smaller number of students, they bring to mind one thing — the revived Drama and Thespian Club. Birdie , or Bye Bye Birdie , was the dramatic production put on in the fall in conjunction with the music depart- ment, while A.O.L. , Arsenic and Old Lace , was put on in the spring. Advisor Pat Memos stated that the club tried to reinstate its Thespian charter by initiating 16 new members and getting more activities started. Secretary Susie Wells explained the ac- tivities included perfecting a number of dialogues and one-acts to be sent to the district contest and from there on to state. A week long International Thespian Conference in Muncie, Indi- ana to watch a variety of dramatics from all over the world was also planned. In order to raise the money necessary for the contest entrance fees and Muncie, bake sales were held ev- ery Friday for many weeks with a pop- corn sale in March. Under the leader- ship of new advisor Pat Memos, Dra- ma Club survived and brightened the calendar with lively dramatic produc- tions. Old platforms had to be restrengthened for use again this year as Chris Kennedy painstakingly adds another nail. Photo by M. Bennett Drama Club: S. Hodges, A. Hedman, B. Kirk, S. Wells-Sec., J.

Organizations Drama Club-Devil's Diary 35 An Influencing Factor Strong leadership and determination are expected of the Student Council President, but for Cynthia Weeks, the second female leader in the school's history, guiding Stuco was a challenge. I know that since 1 am a female. I've made people uncomfortable, but I think that I've proved that females can be leaders too, Weeks commented, I also believe that I have paved a path for other females to follow in leadership positions and they will not be afraid to be aggressive. Stuco tried to become a more effective organization and improve student-ad- ministration relations. School Board Representative Tom Webb organized a meeting between the students and the administrators. I believe that the meeting went very well, stated a sophomore who attended, many stu- dent complaints were heard and some of the problems were quickly taken care of. Stuco was actively fund raising for many charities. In October, Stuco sold Halloween candy and sent the profits to UNICEF for the Cambodian refu- gees. The group also held a dance after a basketball game in which a student had to bring a toy to get in. The Ma- rine Corps got all the toys collected for their Christmas Toys for Tots drive. Along with the charity fund raisers, Stuco held the traditional Homecoming festivities and the Sophomore Orienta- tion Party. With continued determination, Stuco will remain an influencing factor at Central, concluded Weeks. Spray paint and thousands of paper napkins went into the Homecoming float.

Student Council 37 In A New Direction I thought that it was great that every activity at CHS got equal support, one junior commented. Many times we did not go to the academic events like we did the athletic activities, but we showed our support through Pep Club's various projects. This junior was talking about the newly organized Pep Club which had not existed for many years. In the past years, when Pep Club ex- isted, it was a social club which occa- sionally supported athletic activities, but the 1980 Pep Club was different. Not only did Pep Club enthusiastically support all athletic events, but academ- ics as well. Pep Club's responsibility was to make sure that every activity at CHS got equal representation and spir- it, Pep Club President Mary Pat Hof- mann explained. This vow was gener- ally well kept. Pep Club sold the Homecoming but- tons, and its campaign was a great success. The enthusiam for the new club filtered out a little during the year, but that was to be expected. The newly revised and organized Pep Club has taken its first steps. A high-spirited Laura Steinke leads the crowd in enthusiastic football cheers. Photo by M.

Winning such an award makes girls and boys eligible to join D'Mens or the reorganized SEOWA. Both clubs provided services to students. In the fall, some varsity athletes like Caroline Christensen, Pam Barrett and friends decided that interest in sports was lagging. Few people went to girls' events and spirit was low. Further- more, there was not a trophy case for girls. A great deal of interest was shown, and, with the help of Cindy Smoker, SEOWA was started again. Meetings before school kept the club going and money from candy and bake sales went to buying the trophy case. D'Mens members were familiar to bas- ketball fans as program sellers, but they did more. D'Mens has contribut- ed to various causes, like the weight room, and often to athletes who com- pete beyond state competition to de- fray their expenses. Bob Warner and other officers held before school meet- ings to keep things going. D'Mens showed its support for academics by ushering at the Honors Assembly and others in the year. Both clubs stimulated the enthusiasm that has always been a part of Central Both, open to letter winning athletes, encouraged them to excel as well as provide services to students. SEOWA: M.

D'Mens SEOWA 41 Breaking Down Barriers Who would associate calenders, candy, and Football programs with a foreign language club? For the members of two such clubs, French and Spanish, these were among the various activities they busied themselves with through- out their fun and successful year. During the football season, those stu- dents selling programs in the freezing weather and missing out on the game were Spanish Club members. In Janu- ary, they sold candy to raise money for either the spring Chicago trip or the summer trip to Mexico. The students had their choice as to which trip they wanted the money to go to. In January, Spanish Club went to din- ner and the showing of Man of La Mancha at Circa 21. They also en- joyed some shopping on a weekend trip to Chicago. French Club was also a great success. Pam Fredericksen, co-advisor with Chris Fredericksn, summed up what the meetings were about. French Club was a common meeting ground for friends both in French but not in the same year. The club participated in various activi- ties. On November third, members went to Chicago to see Toulouse L'au- trec and exhibits at the Art Institute. Then they had their choice of crepes or a more expensive French restaurant. The experience proved to be very cul- tural. President Alan Thompson kept the club busy selling Advent calenders in early winter. The money aised was used for those French Club students going to France in March. The greatest experience for the stu- dents was the trip to France. One member, Tracy Meier, said, It was like the final test because everyone spoke French. The Spanish and French Clubs were not strangers to each other. There were football games and other events that enabled the two to get to know each other better. One thing is sure, both clubs had great success because of their enthusiastic memberships. A union was created when French and Spanish Club seniors pitted themselves against underclass club members.

But to a certain, few, they mark the chance for a memorable experience. American Field Service and Youth For Understanding are foreign exchange programs. A.F.S. enables American students to go abroad. The foreign equivalent of A.F.S. is Y.F.U. Both offer the same opportunities to students wishing to stay in other countries. Last summer Central had two representatives in the A.F.S. program. Kathy Ortel stayed in Argentina while Rick Jones stayed in Bolivia. Both visits lasted eleven weeks. Central was honored to have three foreign exchange students visit. The youngest, Milena Borsotti, came from Germany, Annika Hedman visited from Sweden, and from the Dominican Republic came Altagracia Alonso. These students were prepared to find differences and they found many. Milena was from Cologne, a city of one million people. About the differences, Milena commented, Davenport isn't such a big town so The eleven weeks in Bolivia went by all too fast for Rick Jones. During the summer, he had numerous, pleasant experiences that left lasting memories. Photo by S. Ketelaar. you have a chance to meet people. 1 think the boys are cuter in Europe but Americans dress nicer. Everyone in Germany wears clothes like freaks. It is their way of rebelling — wearing awful clothes. About school Milena said, 'The courses here are easier, but there is a lot more homework. Altagracia was from Santo Domingo, a city of two million people. She noticed the change in climate. Santo Domingo has a high in the eighties and low in the seventies year around. One of her most memorable events was the first snowfall, something many of us took for granted. Annika expressed the problem of having a boy for a friend and having people think it was more involved. We don't go on dates in Sweden . the boys are nice here. Annika made many friends in Davenport. To even be considered, one has to go through numerous interviews, fill out forms, and attend screenings. But if you ask any foreign exchange student, they will tell you it was worth the time and trouble The girls all gather to be recognized in a fall all- school aud.

Bennett Organized Argument Argument has been one of man's fa- vorite pastimes since Adam and Eve. Only now it is carried on in a much more mature and sophisticated manner — debate. Junior Varsity debator Ivan Jecklin feels that, debate helps me in my plans for my future career; I've learned how to speak more effectively off the top of my head. President of N.F.L., Keith Royal, put it this way, The essence of debate lies in its in- tense quality to expose the inherent characteristic of the participants to use logic and presumption while verbally disclosing numerous facts pertaining to this year's resolution. The topic for this year was; Resolved: the United States should significantly change its foreign trade policies. Although there were fewer people involved in debate this year than in previous years, the eighteen active members that made up the Novice, Junior Varsity, and Varsity teams did extremely well. The Junior Varsity took first at Iowa City, second at West, third at Ottumwa, and fourth at the State wide All Iowa Conference. The varsity took second at West. The most outstanding tournaments took place at Ottumwa and Iowa City West, these meets being the most important because of the many teams and the stiff level of competition. The overall record was 21 and 9. To hold these titles, debators spent countless hours preparing for debates and a lot of their Saturdays at tournaments. When asked if all of the time they spent was worth it, the debators unanimously agreed that it was. Aside from debates, there are individual events including extemporanious speaking and oratory. The Junior Varsity and Varsity scored extremely well in these divisions. Among the ones who did an exceptionally good job were Ann Metzger, Jenny Zanutto, and Ivan Jecklin. In looking toward the future, debate coach Mr. Jansen is optimistic- Within the next two years, we could have a state champion in debate. Constant practice in speaking for an audience is important for debators. Even at a N.F.L. meeting. President Keith Royal practices public speaking. A veteran public speaker, Keith Royal, president, entertains N.F.L. members Doug Micheel, Julie Hoefer, Albert Nuetzmann, Ann Metzger. Terri Paynter, Mike Freemire, and Tom Jansen, Advi- sor.

Organizations Debate 47 A Consistent Winner Typewriters clicking and voices discussing articles were among a few of the sounds heard daily down in the basement of the Home Economics building. To meet deadlines every two weeks, a busy and hectic atmosphere was maintained. Layouts often had to be changed at the last minute in an effort to keep students in tune with the latest changes in and around the halls of Central. Photographers received photo orders on the spur of the moment to accompany late- breaking stories. Staff members diligently working late on alternating Tuesday nights for paste-up were just one of the many ways in which dedication was shown in putting out an award-winning newspaper. The end result was more than just a piece of reading material that the homeroom teacher handed out every other Friday, it was a tool which was used to inform students of the latest news in and around their active environment. Some of the issues were a CHS radio station, the distribution of pamphlets in STUCO elections, the presidential campaigns, plus features of interesting people on campus. The newspaper was another organization which experienced various turning points. One of the major changes was having females assume the roles of Editor-in-Chief and Chief Photographer. Another was the use of a larger and mainly older staff with about 20 seniors. This increase in the staff was partly due to the popularity of photojournalism and journalistic writing. The newspaper, with the upcoming Presidential election, featured more political coverage to make students more aware of the issues. One of the changes in the newspaper format was the photo essay on the front page. The paper earned the George H. Gallup Award for writing, the 1979 Sweepstakes Award-first place for writing, sponsored by the Iowa High School Press Association, and third place in the sweepstakes for photography. As Editor-in-Chief Beth Kurylo put it, the Blackhawk staff was just trying to take what was good and make it better. It was a challenge to be unique from other high school newspapers. Indeed, the Blackhawk staff, under excellent supervision, did an admirable job of maintaining its high standards. T. Wiegand. M. Henning-Editorial Ed., M. Ptacek-Features Ed., E. Littig-Asst.

Organizations Newspapcr 49 Turning Out Memories 5 p.m. on a cold, dark December even- ing. The campus appeared deserted by students and teachers alike. But a light still burned in Trailer 8. A janitor? No, it was the night of another Black- hawk Yearbook deadline. The sound of typewriters clacking and last minute revisions being made filled the trailer as the top editors, the advisor, and staff members worked frantically to finish up. The job of recording the year's events went beyond sixth hour sessions during the day. The night of a big deadline called for hours of after school work and last minute picture reprinting and copy changes. 7 p.m. and the last typing was finally com- pleted and stuffed into an envelope. The weary staff members, after heav- ing a sigh of relief, settled down to plan the next deadline. Putting out a 224 page yearbook in- volved a lot of frustration, especially when stories weren't done and pictures didn't come out. The satisfacion of having students like the completed book, however, made all of the work worthwhile. 'Turning Point proved to be an apt theme as students prepared for the eighties with padlocked lockers, a new principal, added security, and computer scheduling. The twenty or so staff members found that they also became a part of that turning point. Advisor Cherry Mcll- vain stated, 'This has been a turning point in yearbook where we have had an apprentice system of staff members working under editors. Editor-in- Chief Laura Moeller stated, the whole staff worked together more, not just a select few. The new attitude included photography, with credits added to pic- tures. The events and daily school work are to be remembered by all who partici- pated in them. Thrilling sports, daily class work, and students and teachers were all part of the year's turning points.

Yearbook 51 Whiz Kids Hot lights burning, nervous tension settled on the members of the opposing High School Bowl teams. Red light. They were on camera. The questions were hard and the competition from Wilton was tougher than expected. Andrea Paulos sat on the edge of her chair, staring at the mediator. He asked a toss-up question. The answer came like a flash to Andrea. She reached for the electronic button, but to her dismay, she could not find it. Panic hit. In Andrea's confusion, she heard the Wilton team buzz in and give the correct answer. The problem of finding the electronic button plagued the Bowl team during the first half of the televised match. In the second half, however, the Bowl team gained confidence and the rapid fire answering of questions by both schools evened up the score. At the ring of the final bell, all team members turned to the final score; 100 to 105. Central had won! All the research and hours of practice paid off for the team members. The pressure and uncertainty of High School Bowl made one wonder if those dedicated members of the team enjoyed it. Advisor Bob Slotterback stated, Yes, they must, because it was so much work. Think about summer ... sunbathing, and escape from books, studying and most of all, dreaded research projects. For three Science Club members, however, summer meant rats, fungus, and lots of research at university summer science programs. Tracy Hopkins, Science Club president commented, It gave me a chance to further my science education ... and I learned quite a lot. And the research went on during the year through Science Club programs. Among the more interesting programs were speakers on energy, a program through the Franciscan Burn Unit, and speakers on careers on medicine. Through member's entries and help in the Quad City Science Fair, the club also furthered community interest in science. The members were very outgoing and willing to try different things as they worked together, stated Advisor Mary Sievert. High School Bowl: Andrea Paulos, Steve Evans, Lynnette Johnson, Paul Johnson.

Being a senior is hard to sum up. It's a mixture of maturing, busy, hectic schedules, and sometimes lonliness of being at the top. We've come a long way in the three short years we spent at Central. Sophomore year was filled with the fear and sometimes shame of only being a sophie , and piling ten people into the one car because only one person had their license yet, trying to find the way around the halls and the humiliation of driving up to school in a Driver's Ed car! Junior year everything clicked into place. No longer the new guys on the block, we heartily cheered as some poor newcomer looked for his locker or went into the wrong class. Traveling the halls became easier as we realized always to move on the right side so as not to get run down. Everyone had his license and the night life opened up with long Friday and Saturday night parties such as Jeff Steger and the Farm Profoundly exclaiming his point, senior class president.

We found rules and regulations imposed on us that were difficult to take. For some of us it was Pep Club, Science Club or some other organization. For everyone, senior year meant a more relaxed, lay-back attitude .. Being a senior is these things and much, much more. It's the individual memories of each and every senior at Central.

Tensley isn't the usual brawny player but sometimes he feels this is an advantage. I know I'm small, he states, but what 1 lack in size, I try to make up for in quickness. If I'm fast enough, they shouldn't be able to catch me. With lightning speed senior David Tensley shows his ability to avoid the opposition. Photo by M. Bennett High School athletics won't be the extent of Tensley's career, however, for he's hoping to continue with either football or wrestling in college. His ultimate goal? I'd love to be chosen as an All-American, Tensley concludes, I can't think of a higher honor! Sports is definitely a prime topic at Central High School, and David Tensley is definitely a talented subtopic. Seniors 69 Lisa M. Juarez Margaret E. Judge Michael J. Kane Jimmie D. Kane Joseph N.

It took me nearly a whole semester before I threw my first real pot. And Dave has been doing better ever since with much help from the ceramics instructor, Mr. Curtis. Dave has entered several shows and Dave feels that Mr. Curtis has been helpful and encouraging. He is willing to help you as much as you need, Dave says. Wilh steady hands senior Dave DeSalvo pays close attention to his favorite hobby, pottery. Photo by L. Minard. At home, Dave has constructed his own wheel and kiln and now does much of his work at home. Dave's parents also play a big part in his ceramics by offering any money he needs, but so far Dave says, he has not asked for any. Dave feels ceramics is not for everyone, it takes alot of time and patience. I guess the main reason I like ceramics is because I like to be alone, and it gives me time to think about the future And the future is still the one thing Dave is undecided about. But he is thinking of a career in computer programming and on the side, plenty of pottery. Seniors 71 Jennifer A. MeFedries Randall K. McGee Thomas R. McGuire Michael J. McIntyre Gregory G.

Who are the girls who miss their boyfriends and are looking forward to their first date in their whole life? The American measure system is something unnecessary and confusing for them. Who are they? Do they come from the moon or Mars or the North Pole? No, they are only the two foreign exchange students from Sweden and Germany having a good time here at Central. Senior� 73 John D. Mumford Ann E.

But on Sunday nights from 6 to 10 pm, most Central students were found at Parkview Tap, listening to the sounds of Younger Sunn with senior Meg Foley as lead singer and Central senior Dale Fisher on keyboards. With lead guitarist Jeff Verre sharing the lead and background vocals with Meg, rhythm guitarist Mike Kennedy and Dale Fisher on keyboards and background vocals, they combined to form an easy- listening country rock band. Sunn Meg had a job all summer with Brook's and she took voice lessons and had to practice every night. We just managed, Meg says, I worked from 5 to 9 and then practiced from 9 to 12. Everyone had to sacrifice, but it paid off. Sunday nights at Parkview were crowded and enthusiastic. Younger Sunn was a really great experience for me and nothing could replace the things I learned and the fun I had, concluded Foley. For an original job this summer, senior Meg Foley sang back-up and lead vocal for 'Younger Sunn.' Photo by H. Westfall Robert L. Sachleben Robert J. St. Clair Jr Carla E. Saldivar Barbara J.

In their spare time they go shopping, play tennis, and just simply enjoy the company of each other. Some relationships are made in heaven, such as Glenda and Kevin's, one can say this one was very much influenced by that very same thing, since they began their relationship in church. Glenda and Kevin have been together long enough to know the ins and outs, and breaking points of each other. Neither rumors, jealousy, nor small disagreements can destroy the type of togetherness this couple has for each other. According to Kevin it just takes A little faith and a little trust in each other , and they have it.

Photo by M. Bennett. Transition is the change from one phase to another, a happy or unhappy medium between two stages. Our junior year at Central has been a period of transition ... a turning point. There are academic and social changes, security changes, and the personal changes that go on inside oneself. One junior stated, I am trying harder with a more determined drive to achieve and make something of my life, because I care a lot now. The feelings within our class vary greatly. For one junior, It's boring because everyone is taking hard classes to get them out of the way so they can 'play' their senior year. Yet there are others who insist, It's great! , I'm respected, and most of all, I've got more freedom now because I've got my license. Our class isn't a class of seniors yet, but it is looking forward to the time when it can, ... have more freedom, but also accept more trust and respect from others. As juniors, we now have more privileges as well as responsibilities. We can drive to athletic events and go out afterwards with our friends without worrying about a ride from someone's parents. We are better accepted at parties and other social get-togethers . No matter if it's a later curfew or use of a car, juniors can count many privileges. This year we are the only class to take the ITED tests. Many juniors feel we were chosen for the reason that, ... juniors are more organized than sophomores, so we'll produce better results. Others feel, It's terrible! Let the sophies do it, too. We are also preparing ourselves for the future through the PSAT and SAT tests. The class of '81 definitely knows that it is experiencing a lot of changes. As we gain increased freedom, we must also accept the rights and responsibilities. Looking ahead to gaining entrance to our favorite colleges, we know that our junior year at Central High School must be meaningful as we adjust and grow during the turning point of our lives.

She received honors last year and has also been a very successful flute player for almost six years. Many people would think of all of this as an impossible combination that only Superman or Wonder Woman could achieve and be successful in, but Linda says that she just has to learn to plan ahead and manage her time well when she has conflicts. • Linda plans on going to college and she would like to become a doctor. She is currently involved in Pep Club, French Club, SEOWA, and her church youth group and choir. Anyone who knows Linda can see that her talents and warm personality make her a great asset to the Central student body! Photo by D. Bettis A great athlete? Now this is nothing really new at Central, but a combination of a great athlete and a terrific student is what Linda Waggoner is all about. Not only does Linda participate in sports year-round, but she is also a consistently good student. Linda's favorite sports include: cross country, track, and basketball. She likes sports because she really enjoys the competition and she finds that it is exciting to compete for a certain goal.

Wrong! Just take a look at Mark Grafton. Athletically and scholastically, he is more than the average junior. Mark is a varsity player in football, basketball, and baseball. Jersey number four on the football team, Mark is modest about his position as second-string quarterback. I didn't mind playing back- up to Kevin Oliger because I've learned a lot from him. Mark dribbled his way up to varsity basketball as a sophomore when the Devils went to State. But his real love is baseball. I've played baseball the longest, so its my favorite. 1 felt really good about winning state; we worked hard and it paid off. Mark is definitely not a dumb jock . He is a second honor student and takes college bound classes. Despite his year-around participation in sports. Mark doesn't find it hard to keep his grades up. SupER SpORT What's in the future for this talented athlete? Hopefully I'll go to college on a sports scholarship and continue into professional baseball. With all his high school experience. Mark shouldn't find this goal hard to achieve. Photo by D.

He channels his energies into his studies and extra- curricular activities. Although Ivan enjoys all his activities, debate stands out above the others as his favorite. It's been a lot of fun, and I plan to continue with it next year and hopefully into college. I’d like to become a lawyer, and debate can provide me with a good foundation. Debate coach Tom Jansen noted the many characteristics that Ivan possesses which make him a good debater. Ivan is one of our most prominent debators. He is able to reason logically, is well-organi zed, and is always seeking out new arguing methods. Jansen added, Ivan's ability to ration time benefits his school work as well as his performance in debate Away from school, Jecklin says he enjoys bicycling. Biking gives me a chance to get away. commented Ivan, but I usually can't find time for it during the school year. I ride mainly during the summer. By all means. Ivan Jecklin leads an intriguing life highlighted by his many unique interests. The dedication, and many long hours of hard work he pours out to his activities and scholastics will undoubtedly pay off in years to come. Photo by D.

Junior Tom Tallman did just that. Tom got his interest in music from his father, who is a professional drummer. Tallman has played the trumpet for six years and practices for about an hour every night. He started practicing with his father's band, the Quad-City Big Band, in 7th or 8th grade, and this past summer he began playing with the band full-time. At Central, Tom plays in the concert band, jazz band, orchestra, and is the first male drum major for the marching band in several years. Tom explained that in past years, the music the band played was the type that was better for girls to direct, but now we are getting into more corps-type music, and you hardly ever see female drum majors in corps. Mr. Bernatz commented, He works well with the students and he knows what he's doing. Although his first attempts at music were far from perfect, Tom's natural leadership and enthusiasm have taken over, and this outgoing junior is well on his way to fulfilling his goal of becoming a band director and teaching music.

With her involvement in A Capella, this year’s musical. Bye Bye Birdie , and dancing at the discos, she seems to surround herself with music. Ever since I was a little one-year old in a high chair, I tried to dance and show off in front of my family, says Trace. All through her school years. Trace has been in talent shows, musicals, chorus, and swing choir, although her real ambition is to go into the fields of medicine or engineering. During the summer. Trace was involved in a Co-op program for minorities at the Caterpillar Plant, in which she learned drafting and designs and did some actual corrections on real plans. She also learned welding and how to run the computers. Among her other hobbies are bike-riding, softball, and just plain relaxing. One will probably see a lot more of Trace in the various musical activities at CHS or having a good time at one of the local discos. Photo by Sara Dexter They're tough, tough, but you can make them as hard as you want to, states tanker Jeff Breaw about practices he must do. He drags himself out of bed at five a.m. in order to be in the pool at six a.m. He packs himself in winter gear in preparation for the weather outside. After arriving at school he has to dress and be in the pool before the clock strikes six. Hesitant, because of the cold air, he dives in, only to shiver from the iciness of the water. With only an hour and a half to work with, he must finish his six to seven thousand yard workout, eat, dress, and be ready for his first hour class. Jeff gets no chance to rest during the day for he is kept busy with homework and assignments throughout the day. The final bell rings but the day is not over for Jeff. He must lift weights for a half hour and then he must work out for two hours in the pool, totalling ten thousand yards. After that there is still homework to be done. Even with all this going on, Jeff still has room for art. He likes water color best because the colors are easy to blend. He plans to use art in the future by going into commercial art. Jeff is truly one of the talented individuals that make CHS the number one school in Davenport. Photo by D. Bettis Water WoncIer Juniors 101 Brent Adams Lillie Adams Debbie Airgood Audrey Albertson Ronda Allchin Clim Allen Jane Anderson Jeanette Anderson Keith Anderson Kris Anderson Marie Anderson Ronald Anderson Charles Appleby Corinne Armstrong Ruth Armstrong At eight in the morning on August 27. 1979, an estimated six hundred alien beings invaded the campus of Central High School. Planning on a three-year mission, these foreigners, who called themselves sophomores , were sent to Central to enrich their lives while becoming productive members of society. As news of the sophomore spread, upperclassmen were heard asking, Who arc these creatures, and where did they come from? What exactly is a sophomore? The first day of school, upperclassmen knew exactly what a sophomore was. A sophomore was the student who looked for room 326 on the first floor. Sophomore girls could be found in groups discussing various aspects of school — like the football players or that cute guy in Writing Experiences class. Sophomore boys were found discussing their different sports. Yet these arc only physical opinions of a sophomore. There arc traumas and triumphs a sophomore must face in this, his first year of high school. Sophomores have feelings that will no doubt evolve into lasting memories. To be a sophomore means to accept the class load a high school offers. It means more work and more responsibility. No longer are they the leaders of the junior highs. They are now in senior high and to be a sophomore is to be a follower. Sophomores respect their upperclassmen and bear every bit of criticism with a smile on their face. They know they are ascending the ladder to the top where they will encounter the coveted senior position. What is being a sophomore to a sophomore? It means being mistreated and being constantly in trouble. It's an excuse for goofing off and acting immature. It means piling up in a car with friends and having Dad drop them all off at the stadium. And to be baby Blue Devils is great because they arc not just sophomores, they arc Central sophomores, and they hold the pride and spirit of their high school. Often, it is said that the years one spends in high school rank among the very best in his life. As first year students, the class of '62 will undoubtedly strive to make their high school years a pleasant something that they can reflect upon with happiness in the future.

Kevin, a sophomore, had succeeded in making our Central team as a freshman, but with the series coming, Kevin quit our team and took the chance of making the all-star team in order to be in the Pony League World Series. His decision paid off when he made the team. “I looked forward to the series and the chance to meet new kids, said Kevin, who also menti, ted that the coach was looking forward to the everyday practices. Baseball has been a tradition in Kevin's household, with his three older brothers also playing for Central in the past. It's my brothers who encourage me to keep at it, adds Kevin. Kevin really enjoys baseball and gets ready two months ahead of the season. He says the best part of the beginning of school is looking forward to the baseball season. Kevin also enjoys wrestling and hopes to make the Central squad. Determination to be more than a basic athlete gives Kevin James the qualities which many CHS students are found to possess.

Most students don't even realize there is such a time. unless it happens to be the hour that they sneak into the house after a wild weekend. But for Dan Conway, this early hour marks the beginning of his non-stop day. Dan is a very versatile sophomore and manages to squeeze in time for everything, from cross country and band to playing the organ for his church. His typical day goes something like this: crawling out of bed at 5:00 AM for an early morning run, at 6:00 AM, he hops in the shower and gobbles down a hurried breakfast in order to be at marching band rehearsal at 7:30 AM. Then begins the grueling day of school which lets up at 3, only for cross country practice to begin and last until 5.00 PM or later. After cross country. Dan practices tuba music for All State, his piano, which he has taken for eight years, and finally, any homeowrk. If I have any free time, Dan jokes, I talk on the phone or listen to my stereo. Although Dan is new to the sport of cross country, he is right at the top of the varsity squad. To Dan, the most important aspect of cross country is the challenge . . to see if I can finish. And as he puts it, you run so hard, you die at the end. Photo by D.

Sound unusual? Indeed it does as Ben's activities are not, by any means ordinary. I try to write at least four hours every day. commented Miller. A lot of my time is spent with my two books which I someday hope to have published. he added. My first book is non-fiction, and is about dieting. My other book, a novel, is a fictional story about a religious conclave on the east coast that is attended by the Pope. I hope to have both completed in a few years, Miller stated. In addition to his two books. Ben also reads and writes poetry for Writer's Studio and Juvenile Forum , two Quad-City writing clubs. Every week I give readings, commented Miller, I even presented some of my poetry in the Mississippi Valley Poetry Contest of 1979. Without any doubt, Ben Miller is not the average Central High School sophomore, as he is involved in some very unique and intriguing activities. Ben's very serious attitude toward writing and presenting his work will surely be of great value to him in years to come as he prepares for a career as a writer.

Although her father. Jack Leabo, is a coach and physical education teacher, he has never pushed sports on Gweyn; instead he gives her pointers. It's no wonder she's actively involved in Central sports. Gweyn participates in varsity volleyball and basketball. Team sports are my favorite rather than individual sports because of the group effort involved. Coach Ballard states, Gweyn has confidence in herself. This is good to have not only in athletics, but in everyday life also. What does an athlete do during the summer to keep in shape? Gweyn's hobbies include swimming, water skiing, and horseback riding. She also attended William Penn basketball camp to improve her skills before she became a Blue Devil dribbler. Gweyn, being the active person that she is, does well in school work too. She most assuredly lives up to being the coach's daughter.

Lynne first became interested in music seven years ago when she started the violin. Ever since, she has been studying privately with Mr. William Honingbaum. Lynne's interest in the violin goes further than that. She is a member of the Central orchestra, and sits fifth chair in Youth Symphony of which she has been a member for four years. To keep up with her violin studies, Lynne practices for two hours every night. In addition to the violin, Lynne has played the piano for eight years and often accompanies the choir at her church. This summer Lynne had the opportunity to go to Interlochcn Music Camp in Interlochen, Michigan, for eight weeks. To be accepted, she was required to audition by sending in a tape. In the future, Lynne plans to go on to college and major in music, continuing to express herself with her musical talent. Photo by D.

Yet with this busy schedule, he still manages to keep a near four-point grade average since 8th grade, and hopes to keep doing so. Looking ahead to the future. Dan hopes to keep swimming through high school and then swim in college on a scholarship, where he hopes to study medicine and become a doctor. Photo by D.

From the group of six to eight boys who gather in his classroom before school to talk, to the students in his four art classes, and the cast of Bye Bye Birdie, everyone has profitted from Holladay's artistic ability. A graduate of Marycrest College, he taught at Garfield Elementary School for two years and at Sudlow Junior High for four years before coming to Central. Teaching only half days so Never too busy to talk to a student, John Holladay discusses a future project. WiNNER he'll have more time for my artwork, Holladay spends most of his time at the Gallery Down, a small art studio he keeps on the corner of 12th and Mound. Selling his watercolors of rural Iowa and Illinois from ten dollars up to seven hundred and fifty dollars, Holladay still plans on continuing his teaching career. Margie Keeley summed it up when she said, Mr. Holladay always tries to pick interesting projects. He makes art class fun. At the Gallery Down, Holladay can take the time for more intricate designs.

Everyone knows what a teacher is; it is someone who cares enough to help make sense out of life's experiences. In our school, it is found in many and varied places. It is Paul Shumaker making art available to everyone who really cares. It is Banks Swan spending extra hours, not just with the wrestlers, but also the Gifted and Talented car wash and field trips. It's the team of Riches, Steve explaining mathematics and correcting endless papers, and Betty working with the widest possible range of talent in science. It is found in another team as well — the Fredericksens who make French far more than a classroom exercise. It is Harriet Kipling showing her concern by the very details she extracts from her students. It is Rod Vahl insisting on top notch Blackhwk Newspaper. It is Grace Holmes patiently finding materials for student's research papers. It is Jim Foley exacting respect because of his understanding of economics. It is Chuck Barrett's personality in drafting class, and Marie Jeske's in Business Law. Indeed, Bart Becker swearing at a counselee is part of learning, for the student knows he's interested. Even principals are teachers; they show administators are not inflexible as Mr. Fisher did allow the Homecoming bonfire. Sometimes it's even teachers like Sue Cone and Larry Sherman outside their subject area such as assisting students in archery class. All this and more is what teachers are.

Bonnie Bimonte, Sue Smith 120 Mr. A... A Hiqh Note Caring, sharing, and dedication are the emotions Milton Anderson conveys to his students. Mr. A , as he is com- monly known to all music students, is an initiator of spirit and confidence. Mr. A. has taught at Central since the fall of 1952. Even though he has been here for more than a quarter of a cen- tury, he still relates well to his stu- dents. Times for him have changed and so have people. I still have students who are as talented and dedicated as ever but not as many Anderson said. I suppose that's because high school stu- dents have too much freedom of choice and, as a result, don't get involved in as many activities as in the past. Involvement is a word Mr. A. does un- derstand. He developed the musicals at Central to be what they are today. Ex- cellent productions that don't seem to be performed by high school students. He also conducts the Messiah Concerts and the Spring and Pop's Concerts. To change a loud mouthed kid in Mixed Chorus to a returning visitor is a challenge Mr.A. has no problem with. All one has to do is ask him about the photos of the 1975 and 1976 ACappella in the back of the room. Mr. A. can go through every person and know a little something about them today. If I care, I guess they care, Mr. A. stated. Mr. A. will have a busy retirement as soon as June 1st rolls around. Refin- ishing furniture and gardening occupy much of his time. He also plans to in- volve his small grandson in as many activities as possible. Mr. A., most of all, is an achiever; a striver for excellence. When things go well, the kids get the credit, but if they don't, Mr. A. takes the blame, stated Marty DeReus, his accompianist. The deft hands of Mr. Anderson lead «he sopra- nos through a critical point in the music. Photo by M. Bennett. Hugs and kisses await Mr. Anderson at his final Messiah concert bringing a smile and a flood of memories. Photo by M. Bennett. Nose to nose with a microphone.

It needs more concern, by all, to stimulate active participation. Three Central administrators and four Cen- tral students discussed this topic. Don Fisher (Principal): I would like to see everyone become actively con- cerned in administrative activities be- cause student involvement at Central is small. I have students come to me and complain about things all of the time, but when it comes time for action, rar- ely do they stand accountable for their complaints. Jim Andrews (Associate Principal): In- volvement today is reflective of the na- tional attitude. Students are more com- placent. They're looking for a leader. Leader or no leader, if someone is con- fident, demonstrates rational thinking, and presents a prepared plan, looking at all of the angles, then chances are good of the plan being supported and carried out by the administration. Cynthia Weeks (Stuco President): We have an advanced Student Council as far as councils go. It is a creative and challenging activity for interested per- sons. Everyone should become a part of the active process at Central, it is their responsibility. Beth Kurylo (Editor-in-Chief, Black- hawk Newspaper): The Blackhawk press has a lot of power which the stu- dents control. It is a good opportunity for the voice of the student to be heard by either joining the staff or by writ- ing letters to the editor. I see involve- ment at CHS as being too weak. Stu- dents act as though they are discour- aged and defeated. Mike Current (Student active in school administration): Through my exper- iences with school issues, I have come to realize what a tremendous and im- portant role education plays in our lives. I wanted to be a part of the deci- sions being made. Dealing with the administrators at Central, I found them to be open, honest, and available. The most important thing to remem- ber is to not let the fact that we are young and merely students, hinder us Two new Principals, Don Fisher and Jim An- drews, go over a new proposal for the radio sta- tion. Photo by T. Webb. from presenting our ideas to the ad- ministration. Tom Tarnow (involved in CHS radio project): It is tough to confront adult administrators, but if one strongly be lieves in an idea and if one takes the needed time to carefully develop a sol- id plan, then one stands a good chance of succeeding. Furthermore, a student must be patient, confident, and ready for defeat. Success generally comes after a few small defeats! Tom Buis (Head Counselor): There is less student involvement today than there was ten years ago. Kids are too busy doing their own thing when they're not in school. I hope parents realize what their children are deprived of when they say to their kids, Okay, go get a job! The result is that a handful of students do the active work at Central while everyone else stands contentedly by and watches. Studies have shown that a common denomina- tor among high school dropouts is a lack of involvement in extra curricular activities. The Me generation of to- day is one which is more concerned with what they can personally get out of something. The testimonies have been given for the 70's, but the new decade of 1980 is upon us. The opportunities are now. We control the events of the 80's. Woman Stuco President, Cynthia Weeks, pauses in council debate to reflect on recent administra- tion action against a school dance.

KeteUar. 124 J , ©©imsfisftsnaMy @®®dl JT®lb Without them, this school could not function. Most students don't consider the time and effort they put into their important jobs. These vital people are the custodians and matrons, the cooks and dieticians, and the secretaries in the office. While students tried to forget the first day of school, drawing ever-nearer, the custodians were busy working to make Central a better environment. They repainted the third floor and patched spots of cracked and falling plaster. The green astroturf at all the downstairs doors didn't just grow there, and the water fountains spouted cool water because of the newly installed, refrigerated fountains. These and other changes in the building came about because of the hard work on the part of these maintenance men and women. Added to the special projects, janitors and matrons took care of the constant upkeep of the school building. Almost every student has taken advantage of the services offered in the cafeteria at one time or another, but they have only seen the results of the efforts of the cooks. Faced with the never-ending lunch lines, these ladies had a big task to perform. They prepared nutritious meals, served them efficiently, and took care of the dirty dishes and utensils. The secretaries in the main office were able to handle almost any type of problem that presented itself. They kept the records and tracked down absentees everyday, and that was just the beginning of their job. The smooth running of Central depended on the combined efforts of the office staff. Clean halls and structural changes, nutritious food and answers to almost every question, added up, again and again, to a job well done. Admits and absentees fill the thoughts of attendance office secretary, Gail Weston, and Associate Principal, Mr. Andrews, as they write yellow slips for Anne Black and Tami Dalton. Photo by A.

The voters in Davenport decided higher taxes fo: a new high school are out of the question for now, so repairs and improvements to the old building signaled an attempt to give quality education in an outdated facility. Controversies over teacher's con- tracts, the pros and cons of a fun- damental school, the validity of a minimal competency exam for seniors - all these were issues for student, parent, teacher, adminis- tration, and community discus- sion. But unusual progress was noted in programs and partici- pants at CHS. Larry Minard ran for and was elected to alderman for city council; Mary Sievert was named runner-up teacher of the year. Advanced standing programs like ASP and APP continued qual- ity work in preparing students for college. Vocational preparation broadened and shaped successful entrants into the world of work. Alternative programs for learning difficulties further humanized edu- cation for students of the 80 s. In addition to the regular curriculum, a strong fine arts department of- fered a break from the basics . A new Music Fundamentals course made knowledgeable musicians of students. The band continued their hard work to raise money for new marching uniforms. The mu- sic department presented a well prepared and entertaining musical as well as the annual variety show. Thoughtful re-evaluation of all kinds enhanced the year. Demonstration is a large pari of leaching. Mr. Wyland Snyder instructs Brad Dubil and Doug West in Basic Welding. Photo by S. Soults.

Many didn't realize the opportunities avail- able for them at Central. For students looking for good jobs right out of high school, the Vocation- al Center offered training in areas from auto mechanics to child care to electronics. A model office, set up for secretarial training has provided many persons with high paying jobs after graduation. The employers are look- ing for the graduates from the pro- gram because they know the type of product we put out, explained Keith Mattke, director of industrial arts and vocational education. An exploratory course on health careers helped stu- dents interested in a health occupation decide which of the many opportuni- ties was for them, before they got to college. If being in a student-teacher setting, such as the Vocational Center, wasn't what one wanted. Co-op or Distribu- tive Education may have offered the experiences one was looking for. Jobs in business settings were available for those pursuing a secretarial career. Rose Long, at Sieg Co., worked as an invoice clerk, and Debbie McCalester did secretarial duties in Central's main office, while almost 20 others held jobs in insurance companies, banks and many other businesses. Another Co-op opportunity was to work in a health related area, such as a dental or medi- cal lab, or an orthodondist's office. Along with the valuable experience gained, participants received one and a half credits per semester. Karen John- son, head of Co-op, said, Many stu- dents take a cut in pay to be in the Co-op program, but they are so tired of slinging hamburgers and the terri- ble hours of a restaurant, besides, this is a training program. Many persons keep the Co-op job after they graduate or move on to a higher paying one. If students are interested in some- thing like their Co-op job as a career, it might help them make their deci- sion, but at least it can give them money for college, added Mrs. John- son.

Involve- ment, patience, and a sense of humor ... and Mary Sievert has worked hard to earn that distinction. Although her official class load is made up of only three chemistry classes, her school day extends for beyond the bells. Miss Sievert holds sessions for first year students before and after school to help clarify new concepts. She pre- sents these opportunities for additional instruction as the need arises. She helps students get more into science by encouraging them to participate in scientific independent study. Because this program is not in a structured class situation, she spends much of her spare time helping iron out problems encountered in research, offering guid- ance, and motivating discouraged re- searchers. She has lovingly opened her somewhat delapidated lab facility many a Wednesday night and Saturday morning for dedicated researchers. Placidly sitting in the midst of leaky sinks, disintegrating soapstone and temperamental Mettler balances, she relates tales of how many times she's heard empty promises of lab rehabili- tation over the summer. Maybe this year ... Deeply involved in the Gifted and Tal- ented (GAT) Program, many hours of the day are spent meeting with other advisors and the GAT students. She also serves as Director of the Quint Cities Science Fair, helping provide op- portunities for young scientists all over the area. With a watchful eye and expertise. Miss Sievert guides Jeff Hankcs through a tough chemistry experience. Photo by M. Burks. Students past and present aren't sur- prised at her being named runner-up teacher of year. She works hard; it's a rare day when there's no chemistry homework . . but it's worth it, states Senior APP student, Ann Murphy. Mary Sievert is indeed an outstanding full time teacher, providing extra op- portunities for clarification, motivation, and encouragement for all her stu- dents. As Senior APP student Kurt Younkin put it, She knows how to get the best out of a person. Larry Minard (Alderman) Sitting in a British Literature class, the student is likely to hear his teacher make a reference to the Renaissance Man, one who is well rounded cultur- ally and who indulges in all aspects of life. Interestingly, that teacher, Larry Minard, has over the years, developed into quite a Renaissance Man him- self. Throughout most of Minard's day, he can be found reading from Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales or discuss- ing with a class the existential theory of the destiny of man. At home this teacher is often coordinating mind, eyes, fingers, and feet into sounds like those of Beethoven, Schumann, or Chopin on his organ. But most exciting this year, and the newest component of this Renais- sance Man, is his political endeavor as a Davenport City Council member. I was always interested in the govern- mental process and I believed that I could do a good job. However, the job of alderman has been more of a chal- lenge than I ever imagined. Minard describes how the issues are far more complex than the average citizen thinks and how he has realized that the impatience of constituents is a dif- ficult force to contend with. The teacher-alderman has not found it too difficult to manage two demanding careers. He thinks the new job has had positive effects on his teaching. Senior Tracy Meier thinks he really keeps the class moving, Mr. Minard's many in- terests add a new dimension to the discussions. He is looked up to as more of ?n authority now, which is good because often teachers are seen as people with narrow interests. Fellow teachers have also been supportive. They like to see one of their own pro- fession become successful outside the job, The city of Davenport has gained an outstanding educator as a member of the city council. Hopefully, this will encourage other teachers to take a more active part in the political pro- cess, commented Roger Crooks, Social Studies Department Chairman. Many students have had their minds set afire by Mr. Minard in his classes. With this bright, new element of the teacher, there is bound to be a fresh, unique spark added to the atmosphere of Larry Minard's teaching. 136 Inlernl in affairs of city government shows clearly in these expressions of Alderman Larry Minard.

GAT is designed to have a mixture of the two, and cover topics that would not be covered in a normal school day. GAT got its start at Central with the APP and ASP programs, which are considered nationally to be a part of GAT. Five years ago, it was decided that these areas should be broadened to cover persons talented in everything from the performing arts and drama, to leadership and debate. This year, over 100 CHS students participated in GAT. The senior members were the first to go all the way through the program, which was a definite curriculum for all three grades. We try to have diversified studies on topics not covered in the classroom, explained Richard Stahl, GAT committee chairperson. There is some sequence, beginning as a sophomore with vocabulary strengthening, research procedures and studies in Utopia for juniors, and a more individualized program for seniors, culminating in the presentation of a researched topic of their choice. Wednesday morning meetings and donuts became a part of GAT members' lives. Plans for field trips to Washington D. C. and Chicago took up part of the meeting time, but there was a place for studies and discussions and a little socializing, too. Although there were still growing pains to be worked out on the part of both the students and the faculty, the final goal was to not have GAT looked upon as a stepchild of school, but as an integral part of the curriculum.

Academics Gifted Talented 139 Enhancing the educational experience of many students not receiving the fair opportunity of learning, Special Educa- tion has attempted to tailor education to individual needs. They have triumphed in a program relatively unkown to many CHS peo- ple, but nevertheless, a program basi- cally simple in structure and objec- tives. In order for a CHS student to be enrolled in a special education class, says Larry Sherman, the Special Areas Department Head, he or she must first be referred to the program, then undergo an examination to deter- mine whether or not special help is ac- tually needed and if so, what kind. Next, parents, counselors, teachers, and Special Education staff persons meet to design an Individual Education Plan for that particular student. Finally, with the consent of all these people, the student is enrolled in the class. Once selected for Special Education, the student is placed in a class specifi- cally designed to work intensely on his or her needs. There are four of these different areas. The first is a pro- gram designed to help people with pat- terns of misbehavior. They receive help in academic development and be- havior counseling. The second area of work is for those who display emo- tional conflicts. They are often stu- dents who avoid social interaction. They too, receive academic skill devel- opment, structured life experiences, counseling and behavior management. Students having difficulties with learn- ing are worked with in a third pro- gram. They may have deficient aca- demic skill development or they may have difficulties with study skills. Par- ticipants receive tutorial assistance in correcting these disabilities. If a stu- dent has a particularly low level of academic skill development, that per- son receives special help in a fourth area. This fourth area is designed to help them overcome the problem by Handy skills are also taught in the Special Education program.

The objectives of these programs are many and they vary greatly depending upon the student. In general, we try to develop academic skills and we try to provide structure and counseling for the students in order to prepare them for life—how to survive in it and cope with it to the best of their ability, ex- plains the Mental Disabilities Consul- tant at CHS, Barb Edwards. Ultimately we hope to mainstream these students back into the school and community. It is best for the stu- dents and community, adds Sherman. SWS, says Sam Kresse, Language Arts teacher of SWS, is to encourage graduation and to improve social ad- justment by the students. This is achieved by a special classroom struc- ture. SWS offers an alternative setting and tries to motivate the students with special attendance incentive policies and opportunities to earn credit from job experiences. Along different lines is the Special Olympics program — designed to give special education students learning ex- periences through sports activity. In the winter, the Olympics team plays basketball and in the spring, track. These activities enable the students to participate in sports. They learn to play, to enjoy, and to compete, ex- plains Susan Cone. Supplementary to the Special Educa- tion classes are the School Within a School (SWS) and Special Olympics programs. Both of these provide indi- vidualzed work and unique opportuni- ties that benefit the students involved in a way that regular education wouldn't be able to do. School Within a School caters to the student who may be dropping out or already has dropped out. It also in- cludes students who have emotional and behavior problems. The goal of All students can learn, if provided with an appropriate environment and meaningful learning experience. Special Education programs have at- tempted to do so and as a result, they are humanizing education and meeting with success. Most of the students are happy with their programs and many past students have married and are successfully living and working in the community, functioning as a neces- sary, integral part of our society. A tri- umph indeed, one should praise the ef- forts of Special Education. 140 Conversation helps pass the time as Robert Sachleben waits for Dan Handley to finish his assignment. Photo by T. Webb.

Is a knife quieter than a whis- per? What is the time space contin- uum of a black hole? Is soccer a safer sport than football for secondary schools? Exactly what do all these questions have in common? A.P.P. chemistry and A.S.P. English seem to have little in common, yet ex- amine their many aspects more closely. Each course is at the college level and as one A.P.P. student explained, Be- cause it is treated as a college course, the load is heavier, and it requires a lot of work. But the end result made all those hours of frustration and work worthwhile. A final test, optional in both clases, allowed students with high scores to pass out of certain college re- quirements. A.S.P. teacher, Mrs. Esther Buerstetta felt that students in class tended to be more serious students. The forty sen- iors in her two classes were all recom- mended the previous January, the rec- ommendation being the main form of admittance to class. Questions like Which is deeper, a bottomless pit or loneliness? were covered in a creative thinking unit, but the year long course also covered a logical thinking unit, expository writing and literature. Which do you think is deeper? Oblivious lo the world, Pam Barrett and Jennifer Koehler hurry to finish a theme. Photo by Z. Miller. Bottles upon bottles confuse the issue of which comes next. Todd Chittenden weighs his choice carefully. Photo by Z. Miller. The light friendly atmosphere of A.P.P., taught by Mary Sievert, helped during two hour lectures and ruined experiments. The twelve seniors of A.P.P. have known each other and have shared classes for the past three years, and one student felt that A.P.P. brought them even closer together. Class was held for two hours three days a week and one on the remaining days. The individual project was worked on during free time over the year and covered a wide spectrum of ideas. Although classroom was pretty rigid, as one student put it, there was still time to goof around. Students of both classes were definite- ly planning toward college and be- lieved that A.S.P. English and A.P.P. Chemistry would help to fulfill their college plans. A student stated about both A.P.P. and A.S.P., However much you put in it, you'll get it back.' 142 The view from among the lab benches shows a be-goggled Julie Luethje observing a chemical re- action.

Academics APP-ASP 143 Follow That Baton The signal of one person's arm going up snaps the strangest group of curved metal tubing and hollowed out sticks into complete attention and readiness. With that one motion begins yet another day of band rehearsal. State contest, two formal concerts, All- State, the Messiah concert, musicals, the Variety Show, and a final concert featuring Martin Berinbaum, a guest artist from the British Columbia, were events CHS musicians worked so hard for during the year. The biggest team, the concert band, worked ten months out of the year, almost everyday with the satisfaction of a job well done. And as if there wasn't enough to keep everyone busy during the day, more rehearsals took place at night. Jazz band, with about twenty members, met every Tuesday night to work on blues and syncopated melodies. All this enthusiasm, ambition, and determination, not to mention hours of individual practice, echoed through the dark, empty halls heard only by silent lockers and late janitorial help. But at concerts, the roof top rocked with the sounds. Above all, there is the desire to work, to be a part of the team, the attitude necessary for a good performance. And so, when those arms slowly fall, the final brassy pitch is played, and the drum roll fades away, be sure that there will be plenty to do to prepare for the next band season in only two short months.

Fine Art Band 145 Forward March A crash of symbols and the stacatto beat of drums started the marching season and every halftime show with the band exchanging places with the football players to give dazzling performances. The marching band showed much improvement for the new corps style marching, a fact which director John Bernatz credited to more individual work. At each game, the band added a new drill to their performance, executing intricate pinwheels, and precise step-twos, all to the tune of such songs as: Crown Imperial , Cordoba , and I've Got Rythym . Hardly traditional marching songs, but Central is no longer a traditional marching band. Highlighting the marching season was the annual Halloween parade in the downtown area, and the Band Spectacular at Brady Street Stadium. Band members had one disappointment. New uniforms were expected by late September, but the lack of funds delayed their delivery. The raffles and fruit and ticket sales just didn't add up quick enough to help with the enormous sum needed for the new uniforms. You can bet that next year, fans will see a sparkling new band at halftime. So many take for granted the spirit and enthusiasm provided by the pep band and marching band. Psyching up the teams and student body at pep auds and basketball games is no easy task for the pep band. And imagine having thousands of eyes watching for straight lines and perfect timing at the halftime shows. Now imagine instead how lifeless the gym and stadium would be without the lively notes of the school song!

Fine Art Band 147 r Everyday practices, strenuous and sometimes lengthy workouts, along with over 40 students focusing on teamwork, produced outstanding results. No, this was not the renowned football team, this was the CHS orchestra The strength of the orchestra lay in the almost perfectly balanced string section and a strong cello section. On top of that, the winds were more solid. They carried the responsibility of practicing on their own, since they only practiced with the orchestra once a week, and there was more participation on their part. Talented sophomores added spirit and strength. I didn't know how much we could do at the beginning of the year, but the sophomores came in and sparked the orchestra, commented director, Rayburn Pierce. The highlight of the year was the invitation to perform at the Iowa Music Educators Association convention in Des Moines. Preparations for that concert, along with the annual Christmas Concert, filled the first semester rehearsals. The spring concert, honoring the seniors and the State Solo and Ensemble Contest were the major events of the second semester. The funds needed for all these major activities were raised in the annual cheese sale. Although there was a lack of individ- ual study, which was hard to over- come, the performers got their act to- gether and proved that their hard work had not been in vain. Covering all types of music, from classical to pop, the CHS orchestra was solid and bal- anced from first to last.

Fine Arts Orchestra 149 Practice, practice, and more practice, improving each time until every note is as it should be. Striving for perfec- tion. That phrase describes everyone seriously involved in all the vocal mu- sic groups; trying not only for person- al satisfaction, but to make Mr. Ander- son's last year his best ever. The 28th annual Messiah, a combined Central and West concert, was dedi- cated to Mr. A. The West band fin- ished the first portion of the perfor- mance with a special dedication to our director, while the combined choirs sang. Two more firsts for the Messiah were in the vocal section being direct- ed solely by Mr. Anderson, and his photo adorning the program cover. All of the accustomed concerts contin- ued as usual. Bye Bye Birdie was the musical performed in early November in conjunction with the drama depart- ment. It was followed by the Pops Concert put on by the A Cappella and Mixed Chorus before Thanksgiving. They got together in December's Mes- siah, while Senior Ensemble, A Cap- pella and the orchestra carried out the Christmas aud. Senior Ensemble made many trips within town to perform for various groups. A Cappella put on the Variety Show in February, with Mixed Chorus joining it in April's spring bra concert. The last tradition was A Cap- pella's performance at graduation. Nat- urally, all of the concerts enjoyed the excellent accompaiment of Marty DeR- eus in the background. When Mr. A. started here, in 1952, there were sophomores in his choir. He changed that, forming the tradition of only juniors and seniors in A Cap- pella; Mixed Chorus being for the sophomores. But with some of the few boys in A Cappella graduating early, the bass and tenor sections were found wanting. So a full circle had been turned with three sophomores moving up to A Cappella. The changing of teachers isn't the only change that will occur before next year. The Junior and Senior Ensembles will be replaced by a show choir and chamber choir. Show Choir will be open to all grades, while Chamber Choir is just for juniors and seniors. These two will basically do the same things the Ensembles have done. The dedication of the Messiah, Mr. A's last year, sophomores in A Cappella once more and the alteration of the Ensembles. All of these added that special motivation to practice until the perfection striven for was reached. First row: T. Wilson, T. Herbert, M. Phillips, S. Wells, R. DeRegules, J. McGee, J. Hunt, B.

All are needed to put on a production like this year's musical, Bye Bye Birdie . The plot was lighter, more comedy-based this year, so the kids got into it more, according to Liwia Shanklin, who portrayed Albert's sexy secretary Rosie in the play. The story centers around the departure of a big rock star, Conrad Birdie, portrayed by senior Keith Kozacik, going into the army and the publicity it receives. Conrad's manager, Albert Peterson, played by senior Brad Mann, must decide whether to continue in the music business or become an English teacher and marry his secretary and fiancee of eight years. Rose Alvarez, senior Liwia Shanklin. Conrad is taken to Sweet Apple, Ohio, to give his One Last Kiss on nationwide television to one of his adoring fans, Kim MacAfee, senior Beth Myers. Meanwhile Kim and her parents, seniors Arlyn Stotts and Susie Wells, arc having difficulties dealing with adolescence and dating. The MacAfees let out their frustration as they sing Kids- who could guess that they would turn out that way? But the lightness of the show wasn't the only turning point for Bye Bye Birdie . This year's production proved to be an excellent combination of the efforts of Mrs. Memos, in her first direction at CHS, and Mr. Milt Anderson, in his last. There was another first established when it was decided to admit senior citizens for half price at the Thursday night performance. Audiences aren't aware of the difficulties presented as a show is put together. Tempers wear thin as opinions differ on how a scene should be done and it's during the polishing stage when outbursts occur and everyone is ready to drop the whole production. Bye Bye Birdie was no different. Numerous changes in blocking and set designs particularly upset the cast, relearning for the fifth time new dances for the same songs, and the crews, having to reproportion the set pieces with each new one added. However, almost everyone eventually decided to pull together instead of apart, and, under the influence of the leads, forgotten lines and nothing-flat costume changes backstage went by with little notice, except by the cast. Concerned parents sent letters about Conrad's wiggling hips and Rosie's little-concealing skirt in the bar scene, but in retrospect, the snow was better than I thought it was, observed Mrs. Memos. Despite an early lack of communication among those working on the musical, ultimately everything came together with the kind of teamwork it needed.

The annual show was both a show of beginnings and endings. For Mr. An- derson, this was his twenty-seventh and final show, but also the first of a new decade. Twenty-six acts comprised the pro- gram. It was a little long because di- rectors had a difficult time choosing from the many talented auditions. The two hour show was emceed by Arlyn Stotts and Beth Kurylo, who did her own rendition of Rosanne-Rosanna Danna. Instrumental lines, which ranged from the classic Begin the Be- guine by the clarinet line to a racier Encore for Percussion by the percus- sionists, were spread out over the pro- gram in between acts of tap dancing, solos, and rock bands. The jazz band provided back up and featured its own style of music. Baker Street by the jazz band, ended the show with just the right touch as wild clapping and cheers applauded Joe Compton and his sax solo. A Cappella played a major role in the show also, singing A variety of selec- tions from Sir Duke , complete with Stevie Wonder sun glasses, to Swin- gin' chariot . All these numbers filled the auditorium with chords and har- mony. It was the specialty acts that added di- mension to Rise though. Flash pots and strobe lights turned the show into a mini-rock concert when Wavelength rocked the auditorium with the sounds of China Grove . Soloists such as Bethane Smith, singing Maybe and Meg Foley, singing Desperado braved a lonely stage to be spotlighted for the entire house to see. Through the efforts of dancers, singers, and ac- tors, Rise Into the 80's ended, but turning over to a new decade promises many more shows to come.

Central was paired up with a tough Dubuque Hempstead. The crowds were silent as time was running short. The clock ran out and a feeling of despair crept over the hundreds of spectators. After winning the football Conference Championship - Central had final- ly lost. Sports at Central was so much more than empty stands littered with popcorn boxes, programs, and empty hot chocolate cups. It was four hours of hot football practices in a scorching August, six o'clock in the morning prac- tices for swimmers and five miles of daily jogging for cross - coun- try runners. It was an experience in learning, dedication, and responsibilities. The girls volleyball team gained strength and a feeling of together- ness. Coach Smoker regards, Ev- erybody was supportive and work- ing for each other. The season re- cord surprised everyone. The boys baseball team seized the hon- or of becoming number one in the State; reflecting Central's strive for perfection. The girls swim team enthusiastically supported the five girls they sent to State; Janice Fra- ser victoriously came home with the second place title in the hun- dred yard breast stroke. These vic- tories and acomplishments are the essence of sports at Central. Bas- ketball player Conee Biggs sums up her team as well as the year's athletic outlook, Everyone had a single purpose and so we were fi- nally a team - a total team effort.

Dreams became reality when the boys baseball team clinched the State Title after a traumatic and exhausting season. Neither Coach Freese nor the players could foresee such a success as they looked towards the upcoming season. Although I told the team they would be very respectable opposition, I had no idea that the boys would win a state title, admitted Coach Freese. The flame was kindled in May when the Devils started with an eight game winning streak. This shut out series was ended by a strong Muscatine defense, leaving the game score 1-8. The Devils rebounded and by the end of July had expanded their record to an impressive 21-7. Now they had hopes of a chance for the league title. The hot summer work outs and team effort paid off 4s they progressed and Central entered the District Tournament. An easy triumph over Bettendorf in five innings yielded a score of 14-12. Nothing could stop them now After an exhausting 3-1 victory over Clinton, Central moved into the finals. Paced by the superb pitching of John Young and Steve Lampkin, the State Title was only four games away. Meeting an old foe — Davenport West — provided a bad moment. Behind 2-0 at the end of the sixth inning, Steve Lampkin's grounder brought in Mark Broders for the winning run and bagged the District Championship. Finally, the State Tournament at Marshalltown. The first opponent, Burlington, proved to be an easier triumph than expected.

In the Des Moines Dowling game, Steve Lampkin led the way pitching a stinging two hitter. Third baseman Tim Stepp added to the 7-1 victory as he stopped a multitude of would-be runs. Central's drive for number one led them to the final game. Hundreds of hours of practice were forgotten as the Devils fell behind 1-0 in the fifth inning. Scoring on a single from Jeff Van Maanen, Central tied the match. A turnabout of play came with the sixth inning. Kevin Oliger scored the winning run from Tom Keynon's double.

SUCCESS Spirit played a key factor to the inspired girl's volleyball team, We were more team oriented; the girls had more enthusiasm for each other stated coach Cindy Smoker.

Smoker stated, Everything turned out better than I anticipated. The devil's were underdogs when it came to play the undefeated Muskie team. They came through with a totally exciting 3-0 victory against them, which marked the high point of their season. But with success also comes disappointment. The aggressive Imps were upset about the outcome of their district game against the Bulldogs for the pending and questionable calls made the difference.

Promising Prospects Determination and self-discipline encouraged the growing Imps to have a prosperous season. The Junior Varsity team consisted of five sophomores and four juniors; the sophomores appeared to cement the juniors together. The fact that the sophomores outnumbered the juniors this season was a definaite change from previous years of volleyball at Central. With this fine assortment of talent, they combined their skills to be a winning, contented team. Anxiously awaiting a return, Marie Anderson positions herself carefully for a perfect setup. Photo by M. Bennett. The young sophomore team showed consistent improvement; their record doesn't tell the whole story. Each game resulted in a lesson learned. The careful instruction of returning talented coach, Amy Baker, provided the sophomores with a feeling of accomplishment. The final scores do not reflect the personal satisfaction each player gained. The Imp's season was definitely for learning and growing. This year's season resulted in a turning point for both the Junior Varsity and Sophomore teams. The Junior Varsity squad was dominated by the sophomores and ended their season with a success while the Sophomore team gained personal satisfaction from each game. All together they make a very promising group of action in CHS's Volleyball play. Precision, form, and style are all a part of the technique called bumping as Carmen Silvan demonstrates. Photo by M.

Sports Junior And Sophomore Volleyball 169 Heads Held High Close, but not quite enough, is how many a loyal fan would describe this year's sophomore football team. They were close in almost every game, being outscored by the opponents by a scant 139-111 margin. This team was a fighting one; they never gave up. After being behind 14-0 at half time against Bettendorf, the Devils came back to fall short 14-12 as time ran out. One of the highlights of the year was the little Imps' walloping of Assumption 30-8. There were also many other accomplishments during the season. I saw a lot of improvement from the beginning of the year to the end, remarked head coach Ken Kaul. Linebacker Rick Smith led the defense with 98 tackles in nine games while runningback Leroy Williams was the offensive scoring leader by mounting up six touchdowns in 2-6-1 campaign. Said Smith, Injuries on defense hurt us a lot. Those wounded during the season were Bill Spear with a broken leg in the West game, Charles Terrell with a fractured wrist suffered in practice, Brian Bolterman with a fractured ankle and Curt Short with a broken thumb. Sixty-one players started out the season and 49 stuck out the 140-160 hours of practice. As Coach Kaul pointed out, As a sophomore coach, my primary concern is to keep people interested in playing football and prepare them for Varsity ball. All in all everyone should hold their heads high in remembrance of this season. Speaking his mind. Coach Owen yells instructions to the rest of the Blue Devil team. Photo by M. Bennett.

A Rebuilding Team... Rebuilding was the word most often used to describe the Blue Devil team. Before the season began, the general concensus was that they would not compete seriously in the race for the conference championship. The Blue Devils however, had different ideas. Myself excluded, states Fox, our football team was very fortunate to have an excellent staff to coach them and were also fortunate to have superb leadership from many seniors. Displaying a balanced offensive attack and tough defense (which gave up only 46 points in the regular season) and the best defensive record of any Central team, they cruised to the city and conference championship. Thus obtaining an impressive 8-2 overall record. Non-conference play began with a crushing victory over Rock Island, but the Blue Devils lost their newly gained confidence as they bowed to Moline the following week. They entered the regular season with a 1-1 record and an uncertain futue. The Blue Devils demolished their next seven straight conference opponents, beating Assumption and West to gain the championship and outlasting Bettendorf and Clinton to clinch the Mississippi Eight Conference Championship. This year's defense proved to be very notewor- thy by only giving up 46 points during the reg- ular season as shown by right end, John Schebler, as he destroys Moline’s push for the goal line.

The school spirit was outstanding; especially at the Bettendorf game where hundreds of spectators were stamping the bleachers in cheer. 'That really helped ' stated player Jeff Custer. Commented Coach Fox, I'll always remember the last part of the Bettendorf game where we had to execute without mistakes or be out of it. That game put Central into the playoffs for the fourth straight year. Unfortunately, the Blue Devil were defeated by a powerful Dubuque Hempstead team, which later captured the State 4-A title. This game brought the football season to a close, but did not overshadow some outstanding achievements. With the excellent guidance from the coaches and the dedication from the players, this rebuilding team had won the Conference Championship and maintained the tradition of excellence in athletics associated with Central.

Improvement and new faces came to be unexpected and welcome surprises. The guys, plagued with a small turn out of only eight members, remained enthusiastic. A new and successful addition to the squad was junior Tom Schmidt who ended the season being one of the top runners. Coach Ira Dunsworth added that 'Tom was a big surprise.” With six of the eight runners returning next fall, this was a year of preparation and working together as a team. For the guys, this year was definitely a learning experience as they ended their season with a varied total of four wins and five loses. 'The girls did 400 per cent better than in the past two years, stated Coach Charles Kitchel. With only one win last year and none the previous year, the girls revealed their vast improvement. Second year runner Linda Waggoner explains that cross- country wasn't all work and no play, 'The team was unpredictable which made workouts alot of fun.” They also worked much closer and gave ample support to one another, making each meet a total team effort and the season a turning point.

Sports Cirls And Boys Cross Country 177 They Gave 1I0%” When the word summer” is mentioned most of us think of vacation and play; to 24 dedicated young women it means arranging their summer around softball. If they weren't at practice, they had their 22 game roster to think about. They met everyday, plus twice on Saturday, at the upper Brady field, and practiced anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. Batting, infield, and agility drills took most of the practice time. The girls had a disappointing season, 3-19, but the record didn't show all the hours of hard work and the constant team spirit that kept the team alive. 'The girls always gave 1000% in team spirit, but if that is a little unrealistic, never any less than 120%, stated Coach Willie Hester. The high point of the season was when they beat their biggest rival- Bettendorf. We finally pulled together as a team after weeks of hard practice. It was the teamwork plus spirit that equaled a victory. commented Jackie Mayer. With 3 starting freshmen, who were sometimes confused with all the new experiences, and only one senior, to direct the field, it was sometimes hard to get things done. Cathy Zamora sums up the season, Even though we lost a lot, we still kept trying. Most of our games were very close, but we never gave up. The dedication to the team was unbeatable.

We had a good season and everyone was willing to work hard. With only twenty girls on the team this year, the swim team proved that quality gets the job done. Breaking one pool record a week and sending five girls to state (S. Tucker, J. Fraser, K. Lantow, L. Fraser) was truly getting the job done comments West. State swimmer Lisa Fraser lead the way this year at state with a second place finish in the 100 yard Breast Stroke. For these twenty girls the season was long and hard with the team putting in between two and four miles a day starting at 6:00 in the morning but we had alot of fun comments captain Mary Schmidt. Through all the sore muscles and forgotten bras and underwear the team remembers the good times too. There was all that great food, donuts on Friday mornings, always a welcome treat from the usual pop tarts and all those delicious birthday cakes. There was the extra curricular activities after and during practice and meets; like an occational moon to liven up a boring bus ride. T-P-ing coaches houses and cars also proved to be rather amusing.

It snuck in only to be noticed by the date on the calendar telling us that winter had indeed arrived. It was a time for warm wool sweaters and jog- gers in the park. Getting a very late start this year, win- ter's temperatures over Christmas were extremely mild; rising to a warm 50° during the day and then dipping slightly below 30° during the night. This made winter play very limited; too warm to ski but not quite warm enough to be outside for leisure. For some, the weather was excellent. The brave joggers could be seen run- ning along the golf course as they watched the golfers on Christmas Day. Vet for others, the rain instead of snow on Christmas and the green New Year put a damper on all the skiing and tobogganning plans. Receiving close to six inches of snow, the beginning of second semester was far from the seven feet of snow re- ceived last record-breaking winter. Ski resorts and sporting goods stores both suffered from the lack of snow. It will take the ski industry two years to recover from this winter's loss. stated Kunkel's salesman Tim Peterschmidt. Many students were still able to enjoy the winter even without the snow. Temperatures dipped just long enough for the ice to freeze. This made ice skating the popular winter sport for many. As stated by skater Blake Davis, It's not the best ice I've seen, but it's ice! Keeping the puck under control is made twice as hard for senior Paul Deniston with the soft ice and reflecting sun.

'They're dedicated ' said Coach Larry Swanson, Whatever we ask them to do, they do it and do it well. The usual problems of injuries and ill- ness did not plague the team, and ear- ly morning conditioning by weight lifting, stretching and miles of pre-sea- son swimming seasoned them into a strong squad. Senior Dan Johnson made a noticeable comeback by dropping two seconds off his time in the breast stroke, and Ran- dy McGee was most improved distance swimmer, while Dave DeSalvo distin- guished himself in the diving depart- ment. But the juniors and sophomores provided the depth and sparkle to the team as they readily weathered the ups and downs of competition. Most outstanding was the five meet winning streak over Burlington, Must- catine, Clinton, West, and East Moline. Losing a last meet to Moline, Steve Ketelaar remarked, We just weren't up for it psychologically. Swimming is half physical and half psychological. Not many people know that. Under the coaching of Swnson and Fritz, the squad went from, in the words of Dan Johnson, a joke to a re- spectable team.

We've got an extremely young team. I've got seven or eight sophomores starting, that's the most I've ever had.

We should do quite well at state though, we've got the only 1 state ranked wrestler, Schebler, in this area!! The wrestling team faced long, ex- hausting workouts. Workouts started with a lesson on technique which was then quickly put to work on the mat with two minute goes. It all then winds down with conditioning and a pep talk.

I'm sorer after practice than after a meet. Sometimes I'm so tired I can hardly make it up the stairs after practice, stated Shawn Barnhart. Aside from being strenuous there is also the worry of ever creeping weight and having to keep it down ... cut- ting weight!!! Cutting weight is the hardest part of wrestling. It's a big hassle when you have to get down so low, stated sophomore Tom Murphy. With all this against a wresler what keeps him going? Stated Coach Swan, We started with forty-two kids and now we've got twenty-five kids who aren't afraid to work and win! We're a close family. We make each other good and when we win, we win together. When we lose, we lose together. If we don't win you can bet we went down trying our hardest. To strive for excellence, bettering yourself and the will to win are what makes a wrestler rough.

The beginning of practice started with conditioning drills, figure-eight defensive shuffles, leg lifts, pounding the floor, sit-ups or fingertip push-ups. Not only did hard practice and good conditioning help the team play better, but gave the girls a more positive atti- tude. For the first time they realized that they were capable of winning; both mentally and physically. Though the girls lost the champion- ship game at the West Branch Tourna- ment by one point to Williamsburg 75-74, the team acquired the momen- tum needed to carry them through the Christmas break. This drive helped spur the team to defeat West 65-63. The winning shot, by Kelly Dameron, dramatically fell in at the buzzer. Co-captains played an important role in the development of the team. They demonstrated the necessary dedication and the necessary leadership, stated Coach Bob Ballard. The forward court was led by co-captain Micky Illings- worth while the guard court was head- ed by co-captain Sandy Fahrenkrug. The team was also aided by two out- standing sophomores; forward Trish Meumann and guard Gweyn Leabo. These two players helped give the team a four forward-five guard attack needed for a more complete game. Cry- stal Washington summed up the feel- ing of the team, We thought of the whole team and not just of ourselves.

A Record Setting Season Stepping onto the court at the begin- ning of the season, the girls on the sophomore basketball team had to jvercome their nervousness and self- ronsciousness to be able to perform up o their ability. Sharing the gym with he varsity team, the girls worked hard m drills, coordination, and the ability o work well with teammates. After losing their first two games to Assumption and North Scott, the girls oncentrated on their mistakes. Im- rovements were obvious as they tri- umphed over Durant 63-59. This began he team's six game winning streak. the longest ever by a sophomore squad. The month long streak was ended as North Scott beat the Imps for the second time. Though they bounced back to defeat Clinton, the girls failed in their attempt to triumph over Bet- tendorf, losing 81-78. During the game, Felicia Woodruff turned in an outstanding individual performance, setting a new school record of 43 points in one game. Being able to play together as a team and then being able to win was the goal of the team, stated Linda Grens- ing. Though these girls each came from different schools, the determina- tion brought by every player combined to form a winning attitude and drive, all necessary to become superb ath- letes.

Exciting and nailbiting is a good way to describe the varsity basketball team. There were several one point games in the middle of the season. The winning team was a result of who scored the last basket. Starting guard LaBerne Thomas stated, It was a very hard season, physically and most of all mentally. It was a thrilling year as many would agree by the 11-7 record. The highlight was probably Central's second game against Assumption. It went right down to the wire with As- sumption nipping the Devil's 75-70. The team was lead by senior guard and gold D letter winner Kevin Oliger who also led the team in scor- ing throughout the season. Also in the line-up was Flashy LaBerne Thomas who added continuous excitement while Mark Ballard was a steady and admirable player. Junior Vic Couch and the league's leading rebounder, Tony Karasek completed the starting squad. Our major goals this year were to work hard on the team concept and to believe in ourselves and the team. We tried to emphasize the importance of thinking of the team first. stated Head Coach Don Grensing. Many hours of practice were spent try- ing to coordinate all the players into one molded unit. Improvement was strived for at every game. The idea of playing just one game at a time; tak- ing each moment as it came was also stressed. Kevin Oliger acknowledged this and added, We tried and played as hard as we could each time we took to the floor. Head Coach Grensing as well as assis- tant Coach Jon Peters extensively pre- pared the team for each game. Stated Grensing, 'The Mississippi Eight Con- ference was a strong and fairly even competition; each team had a forseea- ble chance at every game. All the players will long remember the hard work, sweaty uniforms and long practices as well as each member's per- sonal sasfaction. Oliger probably summed up the season best as he stat- ed, Even though our record wasn't as good as we would have liked, it was a rewarding season with both good and bad moments.

Hard Work and Hustle Dedication, desire, and determination were the name of the game for the sophomore basketball team. Hard work and hustle were displayed in almost every minute of the nine and a half hours of practice each week. Leading scorer and rebounder, Tim Wernentin, stated, We are playing a lot more like a team now, instead of individually like we did at the beginning of the year. Improvement was exhibited throughout the year as players were drilled on the basic facets of the game. The players learned a lot and also be- came accustomed to high school bas- ketball. The coaches, Jim Groenenboom and Willie Hester, both emphasized the im - portance of the sophomore year in pre- paring the players for varsity ball. Said Wernentin, We've improved consider- ably since that first day of practice. Many hours of time and sweat have gone into the building of this team.

Their record was deceiving as they put up a fight in almost every game and commanded a lead in all but a couple. The team held together even when in- juries claimed some key players. In the Moline game, Dan Duffy wasn't able to play while other players were per- forming below their potential. Al- though the Devil's built a fourteen point lead, the Maroon's shot back to a six point gain for the game. The team's willingness to work and cooperate well with the coaches was a definite asset. The streaky team, at one time losing four, then winning five, then losing another six, was able to learn from both their wins as well as their mistakes. This was a team of class, handling each situation with calmness and dem- onstrating their showmanship and manners on the away games. All the players will readily admit that being a member of the team was a learning experience which will carry fond memories of hard work, wet tow- els, smelly lockers and tired Saturday morning shooting practices. 194 Up in the air for two more points.

Sports Sophomore Boys Basketball 195 Young Blood Young blood best described both the boys' and girls' tennis teams. Much of the teams' strength rested in the youn- ger classes, with the number-one state ranked freshmen, Rom Rosario and Anita Horsch, being two key players. Foreseeing a better than average sea- son, tennis coaches Betty Christian and Larry Jacobsen were optimistic about their chances. Mr. Jacobsen expected a winning team , while Mrs. Christian said, The girls' tennis team should be better than last year. I'm looking for- ward to a thrilling, exciting season! Although the coaches termed the squads young blood , team member Rob Horsch described them as solid, hardworking teams . Technically ten- nis practice started in March, but ea- gerness and dedication brought the players to the courts all year long. Working out and practicing in the winter clinics helped the team a great deal, stated Becky Miller. Along with winter workouts, there were practices filled with grueling moments of run- ning, jumping, stretching, and lifting to get the teams into shape. Battling challenges for number one spot and coaches' assistance provided for the best possible individual and team ef- forts. For the first time in several years, there was a brother-sister combination: Anita and Rob Horsch, both dedicated tennis players. Mrs. Christian ex- pressed her hopes for the duo, There is a possible chance that Anita and Rob could be a state-contending team in the mixed doubles tournament sponsored by the Girls' Athletic Union. It would be the first time a team went from Central . With young blood and dedication the boys' and girls' tennis teams looked on their season with optimism, hoping to show their best effort and give opponents a real challenge.

Sports Tennis 197 Taping Troubles Away During the winter months, with all the sports practicing at once and the prob- able cause for injury high, the busiest place in the gym is the training room, under the direction of Head Trainer Joe Shambow. The training room, with its combined smell of antibiotics and sweat from hard working athletes is constantly busy. Offering ice baths for shin splints, whirlpools for sprained ankles and huge jars of Vaseline for any kind of owee imaginable are all part of what goes on in the training room ... rehabilitation of athletes. This can easily be seen by the four examing ta- bles which are always occupied and still more athletes can be found ab- sorbing the relief the whirlpool offers. Comments injured Bob Warner, He's a pretty good guy. He really knows what he's doing. It may hurt some- times, kind of like self inflicted pain but the treatment is is your best inter- est and Shambow knows what he's do- ing! Shambow, himself a high school ath- lete, was first acquainted with the job of trainer while wrestling for the Uni- versity of Wisconsin at LaCrosse. We had a trainer at LaCrosse and while wrestling I was injured several times so I became familar with the proce- dures. states Shambow. Our total program is far better today than when I came four years ago! The weight machines, athletes in training year round and pre-season condition- ing has made our athletes a lot tough- er. Conditioning is much farther ahead. states Shambow. Thanks to the facilities the training room offers and trainer Joe Shambow's knowledge, care and concern for our athletes we are able to keep state championship teams safe and healthy.

Sports Training 199 Youthful Optimism A young team is something a coach al- ways looks forward to. That's exactly what Coach Cheri Proudfit and Assis- tant Coach Cindy Smoker dealt with on the girls' gymnastics squad. The team was comprised of eleven girls, six of whom were ninth graders, which brought the total number of first year members to eight. The main goal was to take eleven individuals and mold them into one confident team. The girls, although suffering a broken wrist, a sprained wrist, a sprained an- kle, a knee operation and a chipped el- bow, improved immensely through their hardwork and dedication, as the scores reflected. In their first meet, they scored 96.65 against Assumption, but, by the end of the season, they had raised their score by an average of thirty points. The girls finished with three wins, and a close loss to Moline 113.91 to 113.58, a job well done considering the three top teams were among the four top teams in the state. As the season progressed, people picked up little nicknames. Huffing and puffing through the season, 9th grader Beth Shawver became Grunt. Tiny Mary Jo Tilton wore the name Mosquito Jo , while Laura Novak was more commonly known as WILD. One little known rule to outsiders was that girls could not wear barrets in competition. This caused many prob- lems for feathered hairdos. Sue Kvapil had the highest running total of rub- ber bands in her hair at one time. As the response to nicknames and rules shows, the gymnastic squad became a unit during season matches. With total concentration, Mary Jo Tilton pre- pares to end her balance beam routine. Photo by M.

Hours on end were spent on your tricycle, racing up and down the driveway, until one day, when mom and dad wheeled in a real bike for your seventh birthday. From that moment, it was only a hop, skip, and jump to a bona fide ten speed! That bicycle opened up doors for the gang Trips exploring new neighbor- hoods and parks gave way to longer rides into nearby towns and country roads surrounded by corn. Until that magical moment at 16, when car keys changed places with pedals, that trusty steed was a very important form of transportation. The bike is still very important, and liable to become more so. Biking will become more than just fun, it will be used a lot more for transportation, said Joe Roslansky. It will take a while for people to realize that they really should ride more though.

Dave Ungurean predicted that America will see even more bike riders over the summer. It's fun and good exercise, but for me, it's just a hobby. On the other hand, Andrea Paulos could be seen pumping the 2Vz miles to school almost every day, winter, spring, and fall. The Quad City Bicycle Club held bike rides all through the year on the Dav- enport bike trail. They also sponsored longer rides like the Tour of the Mis- sissippi River Valley. The most satis- fying experience for amateur riders and the more seasoned riders was the RAGBRAI, a ride of over 400 miles, drawing over 5,000 riders. On the seat of a bicycle built for two, touring the countryside, or just riding around, the bicycle coasted back into a favorite pasttime for the rider in all of us. 204 AI Icn minutes to eight, Andrea Paulos can be weather biker.

Mrs. Frederick commented that she was, pleased with the girls, be- cause of the way they work together, their ability to create original cheers, and their constructive criticism toward themselves compared with other schools. Not only were the cheerleaders fired up when Central was winning, but their enthusiasm was still high and encouraging words were still heard when the athletes were down. This year more than other years the constitution for the cheerleaders was followed explicitly. The cheerleaders are expected to be a fine representative of Central High School. Molly Platter showed interest in cheer- leading because, I felt it would help me get accustomed to high school. Other girls like Lisa Berger just thought it would be alot of fun.

Spirit Prevails “We as cheerleaders are representatives of Central so when we do something, people think that's what all the stu- dents at Central are like. With this attitude, Laura Steinke and the other cheerleaders went through their share of good times and a number of prob- lems. Starting with eighteen girls and finishing with seven, one wonders what happened this season. Beginning with a new coach, Pat Zamora, and a smaller squad, the girls began to work in earnest for the first football game. However, a number of communication problems began which usually occur when the Coach does not work at Cen- tral. One by one the girls began to quit. One explaination, It wasn't what I thought it should be. It was all work and no fun. After many disagree- ments and a new job, Coach Zamora resigned. Then Jane Crawford took over with the small group of seven ju- niors. The girls now had to try and cover twice as many events. They de- veloped a tight - knit type of family and practiced three days a week. Several high points of the year were, Cheering for Homecoming even though it was freezing and also the Central vs. Bettendorf game. The en- thusiasm of the crowd was unbeliev- able! The girls had a mutual agree- ment about what the purpose of cheer- leading is, It's to give spirit to the school! Against the dark sky, the bright face of Lori Knutstrom shines in cheer. Photo by M.

Sports Varsity Cheerleaders 209 TURNING POINTS... It was a year of turning points. Momentous events in world af- fairs, such as the Iranian crisis and the Afghanistan invasion resulting in a distant threat of war, made Americans question their role in the world. We wor- ried about the draft, the presi- dential election, and the Olym- pics, but there were turning points closer to us. Locally, the campaigning by nu- merous presidential candidates for the Iowa caucus brought us, as Iowans, into national atten- tion. The months long Interna- tional Harvester strike affected our local commerce and some of us in particular. Teacher-school board relations were somewhat strained due to cutbacks in ' teacher benefits in the new con- tract. We all watched local events with varying degrees of interest. With a new principal and asso- ciate principal, we began a new decade. The computer schedul- ing, the stringent attendance and tardy policies, new padlocks on our lockers, study hall as- signments for sophomores and finals for seniors affected each of us and caused some changes in our activities. It was a time for a renewal of student involvement in extra- curricular activities. Pep Club started again with a fresh vital- ity and a determination to en- courage all of us, debators as well as athletes, swimmers as well as basketball players.

Advisors of already established clubs noticed a marked differ- ence in students willingness to participate. Student forums were held for students to express opinions directly to the admin- istration and student leaders. Student participation exper- ienced a turning point for the better. Athletics had its share of turn- ing points, too. Perhaps it wasn't a fantastic year of trophy winners, but it was a year of young, determined teams. We were, of course, proud of the baseball team for its state cham- pionship. We admired others for their tremendous spunk, teams like the girls' volleyball team and the boys' swimming team - succeeding against great odds through sheer talent and will.

There were those of us who weren't able to participate in sports or clubs because of jobs. Working had become a major concern of ours because we needed money for clothes, social activities, or college. Working students, however, gave in other ways, through in-class participa- tion and vocal support in pep auds during the school day. Even working students carried with them a sense of pride. A year of turning points for the world, the area, and our school brought us into a new decade. As we prepared for what the eighties would bring us, we were certain that what we had shared and experienced would help us in the decades to come.
