The first day of school, equally dreaded and anticipat- ed, held many challenges for us as we stepped on campus on August 25th, greeted by red and blue streamers hang- ing from the trees and signs proclaiming, Senior Power which covered the balcony and fire escape. Thinking back to the free- dom from peer pressures and from piles of homework that we were leaving behind us, we hesitated; but only for a mo- ment. We looked forward to testing our somewhat changed personality, for through all our summertime experiences, we had become more mature and ready to share some of our new selves with our peers. With this new start, we were reminded of the old struggles. High school was a time of ex- perimentation; a time when we wanted to try out our own wings, yet knew there was someone to fall back on; a time of confusion about the ANOTHER BOOK CARD to fill out reminds Chris Sindt of the academic side of school: piles of homework and lots of reading.

Revolving Doors Doing it all and more We laughed, we partied, we cheered, we were at school for meetings at 7:00 a.m., we got home at night at 10:00 from deadlines and jobs ... So much of our lives revolved around those brown pillared buildings. From early in the morning until late at night, lights could be seen with a stray chord of dixieland jazz or a dramatic speech from Mac- beth chasing shadows around the corners. We organized new clubs like art club and reorganized old clubs to meet our new ideas and wants. And then there were the weekends ... a time for relaxing, running around town looking for a good time, performing and watching school productions and athletic events. Somehow, we struggled through that Expos paper and didn't go blind studying the periodic element chart, and we still found time to join clubs, work a part time job, perform, and find out just what it was that we liked. We plowed through the disap- pointments and late nights with two aspirins and an emp- ty stomach and really let loose when we won.

First Impressions Clothes express the inside Innermost feelings naturally come out through the clothes people wear. I like clothes that express my feelings about myself at that particu- lar moment, comments junior Vanessa Griffin. Styles are changing just as people are and the clothes worn bring out those changes that aren't normally visible. Old fashions were back in style. Going back in the world of fashion, students had the pportunity to open the door the 50's and 60's and the Id West. Dressed in straight .irts, plaid skirts, soft blouses, azers, western designed ans, vests, skirts and hats, udents reflected their differ- it moods and good taste. The clothes you wear are nportant because they make a good impression on the way you look, stated Maricia Wil- liams. In the 80's at Central, over 70% of the students felt that clothes made up the most important part of high school. Not only were clothes impor- tant, but so were shoes.

Sometimes it's true, first impressions are important. Student life Fashions 7 Halftime Pride New uniforms spark enthusiasm photo financed by Band Parents' Assoc. Stadium crowds stopped with hand- fuls of popcorn halfway up to their mouths to see it, the student body swayed and rocked to the sounds of it and standing ovations greeted the end of it. The marching band's hard work and early morning practices lead to the fulfillment of many goals. For three years, the marching band has worked to perfect the corp style marching. For long over five years, it has worked to buy new uniforms. Twenty-seven thousand dollars later, the band stepped on to the football 8 field to the cheers of a proud student body. John Bernatz, director, had much to be proud of this year. Along with senior drum majors Tom Tallman and Joe Compton, and assistant drum majors Ross Wilburn and Russell Weaver, the 129 band students drilled pin wheeled, and snapped to an erect attention like a finely tuned machine each morning at 7:30. The brilliant blue and red uni- forms and matching flags seemed to channel the pride and enthusiasm to match the crowd's pep We have al- ways received a lot of student body support. Always, stated a smiling Mr. Bernatz. Halftimes became more than a hot chocolate break. When I heard the band and saw the uniforms, I felt so proud! It's our own style, said Cathy Koehler. We stood up because the were so good, agreed Mary Bempke. The band looks more professional. The year was brought to a crowning finale at the Iowa State Marching con- test. Competing against twenty-four )ther bands for the first time, the marching band received a Division I rating scoring 942 points out of a possi- ble 1000, the highest score of any band, bands that had competed for many years! It was the most fantastic feel- ing! laughed Susan Tilton amid the yells of the cheering band group. The new uniforms, the hard work, the student support, and the enthusi- asm filled Brady Field with an exciting new halftime pride.

The evenings, that everyone thought would last forever, went by in paradise all too quickly. No one was exactly sure when it really hit them, maybe the realization finally struck with the nominating of the twelve homecoming candidates. There were still plans to be made, but it just seemed like there wasn't enough time to get it all done. And finally one morn- ing, it was here. 10 THE VOICE OF STEVE KETELA AR makes a magical ransformation lo Gilligan. The theme of the lomecoming aud was Gilligan's Island.” Photo � y M. Wince. With everything, of course, there comes problems. First, the candidates couldn't or didn't want to wear the head gear provided for them, but things were soon straightened out by finding new head bands for them to wear. Because of the new track at the stadium, there were no floats at the game, which upset some students, and the queen, her court, and the candi- dates couldn't be paraded around the stadium as in years past. So therefore, the halftime presentation was kept sim- ple.

Student Lifc Ilomecoming 11 Hawkeye Fever High School pep overflows to College Campuses The exceedingly high level of school spirit found among students this year was so great that it expanded above and beyond the high school campus, flood- ing over into college sports. Walking down the halls, it was not unique to see Iowa T-shirts. When football season came around, the big talk was not only about the upcoming Central-Betten- dorf game, but also about Hayden Frye's team known as the Hawkeyes. This fall, Hawkeye Fever hit Central and it looks like it's here to stay! Why have the Iowa Hawkeyes be- come such an important part of Central 12 student life? They give us a feeling of team spirit, stated Michele Schaab. The nearness of the school, the public- ity it has received and the fact that many students' older brothers and sis- ters attend Iowa are some of the many reasons Hawkeye Fever is so big. But was football the only thing Cen- tral students were interested in? Defi- nitely not! Basketball and wrestling were the favorites of Brain Hampton, while Michele Schaab said she had a strong interest in volleyball. The inter- est and support for the Hawkeye teams are many. Even though Iowa's season was not so hot this year, Hawkeye Fever certainly has been a big part of Central student life. In the fall, Iowa's football team lost 57-0 to Nebraska for the worst loss in 30 years. But even after such a disap- pointing season, the Hawkeye fans were as supportive as ever. The stadium was always packed and tickets for the game were sold out a year in advance. So win or lose, the Iowa Hawkeyes can always count on the support of the Central Blue Devils.

Who's going to take me to the party? These were some questions that were usually solved when a teenager got his license. This was a very exciting moment in a person's life, and it was when a few people went car crazy. They became obsessed with their cars.

Steve's 1978 Dodge Aspen gets 16 to 18 m.p.g. in the :ity, which wasn't too bad with today's gas jrices. Some cars weren't just for transporta- ion; they were for show. Tim Stebens' Bradley GT, Barry Stanley's Trans Am, and oger Weaver's Firebird were examples of the popular show cars. Another ex- ample is Doug Gunther's souped up Challenger. It's disappointing at times, but rewarding at others, replied Stanley when asked what it's like to own a show car. He added, Most people think it was given to me, but it wasn't. My first car was traded in, and that money paid for half of my Trans Am. I'm paying for the other half. Paying for the upkeep on an auto- mobile was a problem; jobs are a necessi- ty. Of the cars driven by Central students, each were unique in their own way. Some people don't have the money for a show car , these owners do their best. There's nothing wrong with my car, it gets me where I want to go, states Dirk Ohley of his Volkswagon. -m-O Student lifc Cars 15 Sights and Sounds Music for everyone Music, whether live or recorded, loud or soft, fast or slow, is enjoyed by every- one. Music consists of singing, dancing, performing, and just listening. As Pam Stoever said, Music relaxes me and makes me forget about my problems. But to some people just hearing is not enough. Performing is important to musi- cians like REO Speedwagon, Blackfoot, and Harry Chapin. Performing gives these A JAZZ BAND CONCERT offers saxophonist, Russ Weaver a chance to do his stuff.

Some of these activities include A Cappella, Show Choir, orchestra, band, and the singing group, Spirit. I'd rather play music than listen, said Lisa Kinser, because you can play it the way you want and express yourself. While live music is great to hear, many people prefer recorded music such as the music on the radio. The radio is used as an alarm for many of us. We wake up every morning to the sound or our favorite tunes . Music is also a major part of a car. Every car has some kind of tape or cassette player so music can be heard as Chris Conner said, Anytime, anyplace, any- where.

Dexter you must eat your vegetables to grow up strong — even if you sat there until 9:00 eating them ice cold. But now that you're older, spreading is more of a problem than growing, and a whole lot more fun. Running over to Omer's and grabbing a bag of potato chips and bot- tle of Pepsi has become a common- place lunch. The cafeteria dodging has saved many stomachs from a possible well-balanced meal. The thrill of porking down is made complete by knowing how hard teach- ers have been trying to teach us the basic food groups. They say we must eat meat, fruit, dairy, and bread; so we eat starch, carbohydrates, carbonation, and artificial flavors. But, no matter how much they preach, behind closed doors of the faculty lounges rumors of chain smoking and excessive overeat- ing have escaped. A weight losing con- test was started in the women's loun- gue, but that was proved fraud as sever- al Home Ec. advisers were spotted car- rying in cakes and pies, and carrying out empty plates.

Week nights are basically a drag but when the weekend rolls around, it's well worth the wait, this is a common thought shared by many students. My weeknights are frustrating, long, tiring, and boring, states Tim Teshak. Some of the most common causes for this viewpoint include homework, jobs, practicing sports and music, and miscellaneous chores. Jobs tended to make a night drag on. Many students spent their nights working at restau- rants, supermarkets, and clothes stores like McDonald's, Randalls, and County Seat. Like jobs, there a number of sports and musical activities such as basketball, football, gymnastics, and play practices, etc. And finally there 20 FOOTBALL GAMES and other athletic event play a major part in student ' night life while giving them a chance to how school spirit.

When asked to compare the difference between a weeknight and a weekend night Mike Chang re- plied, Like night and day. It was easy to see why weekends were so popular, first, no school; secondly, there was much more going on like football and basketball games, and most important, parties. Other favorite weekend activi- ties included: movies, bowling, con- certs, and just riding around looking for a party. Although weekends were fun, they weren't cheap. Annette Remley spent an average of $5 to $10 a weekend while Val Vandello spent between $20 to $25 and John Springmeir, at times, spent as much as $60! One important contrast between a weekend night and a weeknight was the curfew hour. Most students had to be in at 10:00 or 10:30 on a school night but weekends were different. As Mike Atwell stated, I had to be in at 10:00 on a weeknight but when the weekend came, I wouldn't be home until 1 a.m. As the weekend drew to a close, there were memories of a great week- end and visions of an awful Monday morning. Student Life Nightlife 21 Spree A day for sweethearts The perfect setting: a day for sweet- hearts followed by a pleasant night with cool breeze; Valentine's Day. What else could a girl ask for except for a reason tc ask that special guy out and what better reason than the Spree dance. This was the case for many girls as they took advantage of the situation and made February 14 an extra special night. Although the dance was scheduled for Valentine's Day, preparations for it began in November. After some discussion, the theme, Knowing Me, Knowing You was chosen. The aud played out this theme fittingly SPREE KING CANDIDATES: Front row: Mark Grafton, Scott McMullen, Joe Ehlers, Steve Lampkin, Jeff Custer, Tad Dunsworth, back row: John Schellinger, Kevin Hatfield, Dirk Oh- ley, Greg Hampton, Dave Riefe, Bob Simmons.

As students watched this mockery of themselves, they showed much interest. Mrs. Beat com- mented, I got a good response from both the students and teachers concerning the aud. Better than any I've had. After their dates were picked, couples like Puny Pat and Normal Nancy made their way to the school cafeteria for an elegant dinner. After dinner, came the dance and finally events topped the whole night like a wor- kout at Nautilis and a big hotel party. But reality did not come until February 14, the day of the dance. With the help of ten students and two teachers, the gym was decorated in about five hours. Streamers of red and white were strung through the gym and hearts were every- where. Finally, eight o'clock arrived and the dance was on its way. Students danced to music by Midnight Express and discussed their evening plans. But that was not all. Pictures had to be taken and, of course, the King had to be announced. As the five candidates: Bob Simmons, Mark Grafton, Kevin Hatfield, Joe Ehlers, and Jeff Custer, were escorted through the crowd, every- one awaited the announcement of the winner. Bob Simmons was crowned Spree King. After a night of dining, dancing, ro- mance and a party or two, the night came to a close but for many the night would not be over until an early breakfast was eaten and a good night kiss received. “CELEBRATION draws people ofl the chairs and onto their feet to do some crazy dancing.

Facelift Is it worth it? Rennovating Central has proved to be a rewarding but frustrating project. At a cost of roughly a million as of Janu- ary 20th, a number of dramatic changes have beautified a faltering facility: land south of the building was purchased for an athletic for gym classes and band practices at a cost of $502,400; the bathrooms and drinking fountains were restored to 1981 standards of usability for $82,580; the North Annex was re- modeled for a cost of $5000; the audi- torium was repainted and supplied with beautiful plush chairs, carpeting, 24 grand curtain and light board at $135,000; the chemistry lab was totally remodeled for $81,905; also, $8000 worth of carpeting was put in corner rooms to help deaden the street noises of Harrison and Main. The halls shone with newly painted lockers and walls, dramatizing the very best points about high ceilings, fine woods, and marble floors and columns. All of this was not without some has- sle.

Adding a real- istic note, John Bernatz stated, The auditorium will be a good facility, but the stage is still too small. Just before Christmas, faculty and students were confronted with the smell of gas fumes probably the result of some of the repairs to the chem lab pipes. The result was cold lunches be- fore vacation and new pipes to the kitchen since gas leaks were impossible to pinpoint. Fixing the piping cost over $8500. In spite of these minor problems, im- provements on the building moved forward. Said Principal Don Fisher, We want the finest facility developed that we can possibly provide for our stu- dents. Student life Rennovation 25 Open The Door To... Proposed expansion of campus For the past few dec- ades students at Central have come and gone see- ing the same old school, day after day. A group of concerned people set out to change that by expand- ing the campus and build- ing a swimming pool, ten- nis courts, and an athletic field. This group, known as C.D.C. (Campus Devel- opment Committee), met in the activities office to comsider these ideas. The student body was repre- sented by Tim Tutt, Dan Carlson, and Laura Steinke and the representatives of the faculty were Principal Don Fisher, Chuck Bar- rett, Barb Hess, and Larry Swanson. We want to keep the campus in one area, stat- ed Fisher. The land to be put to use is bounded by Eighth, Main, Twelfth, and Harrison streets. Of this area, all but two proper- ties have been purchased by the city. It's all a mat- ter of time before we se- cure this area, remarked Fisher. The pool acquisition was strongly backed by the boys' swimming coach, Larry Swanson. He pointed out the fact that central Davenport needs a new pool to make up for the loss of the LeClaire Natatorium. His plans were to teach youngsters how to swim in the old pool. Lifesaving could also be included in this pro- gram. The new facility would be used for gym classes and the schools with swim teams. Along with the pool proposition, the group discussed building tennis courts and an athletic field. Fisher noted the danger of crossing Harr- sion Street to arrive at Ripley Field, which has been used for tennis and softball physical ed. classes. Other projects under consideration by C.D.C. were the purchasing of areas north and west of Central to accomodate parking, and erecting a Fine Arts building under- neath the athletic field. This would allow the band and orchestra to practice without disturbing classes in the main building. Whether it be the badly needed swimming pool or the luxury of having a new Fine Arts building, the students at Central will welcome a change to the present day campus. -Dan Hauser Hopes of new centers turn to reality Davenport is making our city a better place to live. Plans for a Civic Cen- ter are already beginning to turn into a reality. A hotel-motel tax has been adopted and there are more projects in the works including a ground transportation center and complete remodeling of many public facilities. The new Civic Center is already past the early stages of planning as pre- liminary legal work and architectural designs have been completed. The project, as yet, is still in the paperwork stages. The center, to be situated be- tween the RKO Orpheum theater and the Black- hawk hotel, is to consist of remodeling of the RKO into a performing arts center and demolition of the building between the RKO and Blackhawk, with construction of new buildings that will hold a large convention center, along with conference rooms and shops. The es- timated cost is 3 to V 2 million dollars which is to come from the new Ho- tel-Motel tax as well as private sources. The esti- mated completion date is two and a half years. Another municipal gain was passed November 4, 1980, and went into effect on January 1, 1981. It is the new Hotel-Motel tax, which is going to net the city three to five hundred thousand dollars from nonresidents who stay in Davenport and use its fa- cilities. The tax is a per- cent of the room bill, starting at 3% in 1981, 4% in 1982, and leveling off 5% in 1983 and there- after. An addition to the downtown area which is further in the future is the Ground Transportation Center at a cost of forty- two and forty-three mil- lion dollars. The construc- tion is to begin in one to one and a half years with AN ARCHITECT'S SKETCH of the proposed Superblock to be built on Perry Street between the Blackhawk Hotel and RKO Orpheum theatre.

The street access, or ground floor, will consist of inter and intra city bus- ing and taxi transportation along with shops and areas to wait.

Changes which affected our students and people of all ages, were the new track at Brady Stadium, new city buses, and the expansion of the bike path. The cinder track at Brady Stadium was badly in need of repairs. A new all-weather artificial track was built over the sum- mer, at a cost of $90,000. Features of the new track are permanent lines, mea- surement in meters, and low maintenence. The new asphalt track was bet- ter for the runners than the old cinders were, and it will be used by all Dav- enport schools. Another area improve- ment was the addition of five new city buses, three with special wheelchair lift equipment. After many breakdowns of the old buses, the purchase of new buses was greatly ap- preciated by the riders. The popularity of the Duck Creek bike path in- CONTROVERSIAL Northpark expansion was started in March of '80 and should be completed in August of '81. NORTH OF THE PRESENT MALL, the building grows.

Hopefully this spirit of improvement will contin- ue and more needed changes will be made. -Lonora Swanson spired its expansion.

Thus, in mid- November, Lennon and Ono released Double Fantasy , featuring Start- ing Over . Talks of reunit- ing with the others began as early as October. Len- John Lennon is dead The Miami Dolphins had just scored the touch- down needed to tie the New England Patriots, but instead of proclaiming the news of the score, these words fell off of the tongue of Howard Cosell: John Lennon is dead. The world was shocked. The Beethoven of pop- ular music was shot down at about 11 p.m., on De- cember 8, 1980, outside his luxury apartment building, Dakota, where he lived on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Although most students don't remember the era which Lennon's Beatles dominated and practically owned the popular music charts, they are undoubt- edly familiar with the songs and ideas the Bea- tles presented. In 1964- 1971, the Beatles, with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Har- rison, and Ringo Starr, smashed chart records with twenty number one records and over 200 mil- lion copies sold. With phrases such as ... fighting, I have always thought that it's a crime, Money can't buy me love, and All you need is love, the Beatles cap- tured the hearts of the young and old. With Len- non writing most of the words, the Beatles be- came a leader in the peace movements of the late 60's. In writing Rev- olution, Lennon re- vealed his hatred of war and destruction. Evidence of this opinion was also expressed in his Give peace a chance in 1968. When the Beatles broke Open The Door To ... up, Lennon went on with his campaign for love and peace with his new wife, Yoko Ono. Lennon continued pub- lically with peace rallies until 1975, when he set- tled down to raise his Right wing turn sweeps the country Great changes took place on the political scene as the November elections gave way to the conservative political phi- losophy. Not long after the returns began to come in on the night of November 4, it became apparent that Ronald Rea- gan would be the 40th President of the United States. But even more im- portantly, the Republican Party make gains in the Senate, House of Repre- sentatives and state- houses. All together, the Re- publicans gained 33 seats in the House, four new governorships, and a ma- jority in the Senate. Sev- eral leading Democratic senators found them- selves victims of the con- servative movement. These included John Cul- ver of Iowa, Frank Church of Idaho, Birch Bayh of In- diana, and George McGo- vern of South Dakota. Midwesterners learned that they had elected a President who has roots in their part of the country. Ronald Reagan was born in Tampico, Illinois and grew up in Dixon. At one point, he worked as an an- nouncer for station WOC in Davenport. Reagan made many promises and set many goals for his administra- tion. Among them was a 10% tax cut and a 13 bil- lion dollar budget cut. Time will tell if these be- come realities. But Reagan has alsb promised a well- run administration, some- thing many Americans, no doubt, consider even more important. -Gary Thompson MANY SENIORS voted for the first time in the Presidential election Nov. 4.

Ratification of ERA defeated once again Last November fourth, along with the electing of Ronald Reagan as presi- dent, and the right turn taken by the country, lowans voted against the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment which would have been the 27th Amendment to the Con- stitution. looking back and pon- dering this issue, many reasons were given for its untimely defeat. Untimely because it now has only until June of '82 to be rati- fied in three or more states after winning in 35 of them. “I think ERA failed be- cause women who active- ly supported it were too radical for those who were undecided, Steve Evans gave for his reason. He also added that for it to pass, the backers of ERA will have to come up with a new method of campaigning. Another reason leading to its defeat was a certain ad placed in Iowa newspa- pers that showed men embracing stating that if ERA were to pass, gay rights would pass also. Ac- cording to State Chairman of the ERA Coalition in Iowa, Peg Anderson, It passed where the ad wasn't seen. One of the counties where it wasn't seen was Scott County. As long as people can link gay rights to ERA, it won't pass, she added. A third reason for its failure, which is held by many of the student body, is the fact that, our coun- try is not ready for com- plete equality for males and females, agreed Tom Pullella. -Dan Hauser Student Life Magazine 29 Open The Door To... A paralyzing position Iranian militants cap- tured the U.S. Embassy on November 4, 1979, an event which left the Unit- ed States in a very difficult and paralyzing position. In all, 65 hostages were cap- tured. Three others, who escaped to the Canadian Embassy, were smuggled out of the country later. The first few weeks after the siege were filled with tension and uncertainty. At Thanksgiving, 13 blacks and women were re- leased. This left 52 hos- tages. The U.S. placed economic sanctions on Iran and called for other countries to ask Iran for the release of the hos- tages. Iran told the U.S. its demands: returning the Shah to Iran and placing the hostages on trial as spies. The U.S. said no to both of these demands and the stalemate contin- ued. Carter was left with a difficult decision: wheth- er or not to send a special task force into Iran. He decided to go ahead with the mission, but it was aborted when a sand storm caused helicopters to crash with fatalities. The task force returned home and they, along with President Carter, feared that the hostages might be executed. The Iranian government used the attack as propaganda against the U.S. Richard Queen, one of the hostages, was released after coming down with a crippling disease. He was transferred to West Ger- many and then sent home. The U.S. consid- ered this not a sign of sympathy, but Iran show- ing that it did not want dead or dying hostages. On September 22, 1980, border conflicts be- tween Iraq and Iran turned into full scale war when 50,000 Iraqi troops crossed the Shat Al Arab waterway and attacked major oil refineries. After a year in captivity the Iranian militants turned the hostages over to the government so they could direct all their time against Iraq in the war. The Iranian Parlia- ment gave the U.S. a set of terms which it must meet. As each term was met, the Iranian government would release a group of hostages. The U.S. gov- ernment wanted all the hostages released at once, so it sent a reply to Iran. After two weeks of si- lence, the Iranian Parlia- ment said that the U.S. re- ply was not clear and it should be clarified as positive or negative . The Parliament received our reply of negative . The waiting continued. When students were asked about the hostage situation, two feelings were evident: the hostage situation has lasted much longer than it should have and some sort of punish- ment should be given to Iran upon the return of the hostages. Half the stu- dents felt the hostage sit- uation affected them per- sonally, while the other half were merely con- cerned with the outcome. One thing no one could come up with was how to solve the crisis. That is the same problem the gov- ernment faced. -Greg Snow Third World problems The possibility of a Third World War became more evident as the 1980's began. In March, 1980, Russian troops moved into Afganistan, overthrew the govern- ment and set up their own puppet government. The United States threatened to impose a grain embar- go on the Soviets and to boycott the 1980 Olym- pics which were held in Moscow. The Soviets re- mained in Afganistan, and our threats were carried out. On September 22, 1980, border clashes be- tween Iraq and Iran erupt- ed into a full scale war when 50,000 Iraqi troops invaded Iranian territory. The purpose of the attack was for the Iraq to gain full control of the Shat Al Arab Waterway, a vital ca- nal for the exporting of mideastern oil. The Iraqi troops took ground quickly and captured oil refineries in the oil rich province of Khutezan. Iran then put up a very 30 tough counter offensive and stopped the Iraqi on- slaught. While not able to push the Iraquis back, the Iranians slowed them down considerably in fierce battles with high re- ward counts. Peace medi- ators from the U.N. tried to settle this conflict by going to Iran, and al- though the Iraqis are will- ing to talk, Iranian Presi- dent Abolhussa Bani Sadr has repeatedly stated that there will be no peace talks while Iraqi soldiers are on Iranian territory. Both Iran and Iraq have said the U.S. is allied with the opposing nation. Jordan and Isreal, neighbors of Iran and Iraq, had a very close call as both countries massed troops on the border line. During the four days of extremely high tension. both countries lined up troops, tanks, and artil- lery, ready for the other side to start. On the fourth day, the Israelies withdrew and later the Jordan troops did the same. In Poland, where nu- merous strikes took place, there was much unrest as Russia threatened to in- tervene in the labor prob- lems were not solved. Po- land warned the Soviets that if attacked, there would be another war. In all, the situation in Asia was very grave as the chances for World War III became greater because of Russian aggression and political unrest in the Mid East. -Greg Snow Lengthy recovery seen Grave economic prob- lems were the biggest challenge facing the Rea- gan administration as they prepared to take over the reins of government in January. A slow recovery from the recent recession be- gan in the fall as consumer spending rose, industrial production was up, the number of houses being built increased, and the overall economy was up slightly. The production of new front-wheel drive com- pacts helped raise auto sales, though the price of cars kept going up. Ac- cording to Automobile News, the price of the average GM car was at $9,450. The Automobile Club of Michigan predict- ed the average price of a domestic car to be $12,000 in 1985. As prices grew faster than incomes, the need for bank loans became greater, sending interest rates up. The prime lend- ing rate for major banks reached 20% in De- cember and was still climbing. These interest rates made cars even more difficult to afford, and sales went down again. Automakers an- nounced early plant clos- ings and layoffs, putting more people out of work. On Wall Street, the ris- ing interest rates caused the stock market to fall, and gold prices to drop. These were all signs seeming to point to an- other recession, some- thing President Reagan will have to deal with. Even if recession is avoid- ed, most economists feel recovery will be long and slow. -Gary Thompson UNLOCKED CATE.

William Shakespeare's powerful drama gave CHS students a chance to grow and learn. Written be- tween 1605-1606, Macbeth is re- garded by many critics as Shakespeare's greatest tragedy. It was very brave of Pat Memos to pick a play such as Mac- beth and bring the best to CHS stu- dents; it was her second successful year of teaching dramatics and directing at Central. The play dealt with a Scottish Noble, portrayed by Jay Bloodsworth. His fu- ture was prophesied by four witches A FIGHT TO THE FINISH, Macbeth, (Jay Bloodsworth) and his foe Macduff, (Chris Ken- nedy), battle it out and Macbeth meets his fate. Photo by S. Dexter.

Macbeth's ambition then was to murder the present king so that he could become king. After making up his mind not to kill King Duncan, (Dan White), Lady Macbeth, (Suzanne Hodges), a strong willed woman who despartly wanted her husband to be king, talked and persuaded him into continuing with his tragic deed. After having committed one murder Mac- beth then became more powerful and more ambitious, and needed his wife less so that she became a part of the background. In the end Macbeth met his fate. Seriousness and suspense was some- thing that many CHS students weren't used to. “It's not a play for high school students, not even college students. You have to be in the right region in order to understand Shakespeare be- cause it's very hard to understand. The audience didn't even understand what we were talking about, I didn't even understand all of the play myself, felt Michele Schaab. Though some felt negatively, others felt positively, such as Suzanne Hodges who believed that, “It was a good play for high school be- cause it gave students a chance to learn and see what things in that time were like. It was a fun experience for all of the students who participated. Tim Tutt exclaimed, “I wish I could do it all over again. We had very, very few experienced actors, many characters were double and triple cast, even I was double cast, confessed Jay Bloodsworth. De- spite all problems the play went over really well.

Shortly after that, the Central and West orchestras got to- gether with the A Cappellas to perform the Messiah . In the Christmas Aud, the student body had a chance to hear the results of all the second period re- hearsals. Second semester a small group of string players joined a mem- ber of the jazz band in a number enti- tled Paul which they performed in the Variety Show. On March 28 indi- vidual groups of string players entered the State Contest in hopes of getting a Division I rating. The joint concert with West featured the Beethoven Triple Concerto with soloists Greg Sauer, Tom Sauer, and Lynne Smit. The culmi- nation of all their hard work came in May when the CHS orchestra was asked to do a concert with the Des Moines orchestra in Des Moines. The following weekend the Des Moines orchestra came to Davenport to perform with the Central orchestra. The annual cheese sale paid the way to Des Moines. To keep up with their busy schedule of appearances, the dedicated orches- tra members had to practice hard to learn all the music.

Sally Riewerts, who came from Sudlow and her accompanist. Marguerite Holz- worth were a good replacement. She has brought with her a different ap- proach to music and many ideas for challenging performances. The music department has made many uplifting changes. The Junior and Senior Ensembles were taken from the schedule and Chamber and Show Choir were introduced into the format. The Oppanus Club, Daughters of the Nile and the general public were able to attend one of the many energetically performed concerts by the Chamber or Show Choir. The Blackhawk, the Ma- sonic Temple and Duck Creek Mall were some of the many sites they per- formed at during the year. The general public and students wit- nessed many of A'Capella's concerts in Central's newly renovated auditorium. They also performed on WQUA-TV for their annual Christmas program. With all of the changes, problems have occurred, There is always a resis- tance to change, a fear that traditions will not be carried on. However, after the first concert, I have felt a very co- operative spirit from everyone, com- ments Riewerts. Divided opinions among the stu- dents have created some indifferences. Like a junior comments, Having spent many years thinking of the vocal music department goals in one way, some stu- dents felt that the new emphasis was on performing rather than teaching. However, others see the new approach as fresh and interesting. I feel Mrs. Riewerts has done a fantastic job con- sidering the circumstances. She had an uphill climb from the start, and despite the critism of several students, I feel she is climbing! I have learned more this year and have enjoyed her direc- tion tremendously. I'm sure future stu- dents will appreciate her every bit as those in the past did Mr. A . I know I do! states Jeff Simpson. Even with the problems there is defi- nitely room for improvement. Each year will present new challenges and opportunities, comments Riewerts. I look forward to new music, new places to perform and the excitement of working with students who love music as I do!

As any witness of the first summer rehearsals in August could tell, it was not going to be just another year for the Central band. Utilizing the spirit and enthusiasm that led to one of the most exciting marching bands to grace an Iowa football field, director John Bernatz also organized a pep band that added vitality and class to an otherwise average basketball season. Although the transition from the marching field to the band room was difficult, the members of the band re- fined their playing to produce a clean, precise sounding concert band. Prac- ticing everything from rock and jazz tunes to turn-of-the-century English compositions, the Concert Band audi- tioned to perform in Des Moines at the Iowa Bandmasters convention. Also in- cluded in the plans for the 120-mem- ber band was an appearance at the Flor- idaworld music festival held in Lake- land, Florida. In addition, top musicians of the band participated in honor groups such as the Iowa All-State Bank and Orchestra, and the St. Ambrose, Augustana and University of Iowa hon- or band. Another performance group that re- ceived recognition was the Jazz Band, which not only earned a superior rating at the Augustana Jazz Festival, but also copped second place honors in Cedar Rapids at the Coe College Jazz Festival, bringing the first trophy won by a Cen- tral Jazz Band, thus prompting a live television performance of Grand Cen- tral Suite on WQAD's Weekday Maga- zine. The Jazz Band also competed in festivals held at Washington, Iowa and Lakeland, Florida. Joe Compton, when asked to sum up his feelings about what made this year's band program unusually outstanding said, I think there were some people in this band who realized what kind of talent we had and decided that they would do their best to turn a few heads. And turn some heads they did. From marching band to pep band to concert band to Jazz band, Compton probably summed it up best with one word- Awesome. Organizations B’and 4T Stuco New image A disciplined structured atmo- sphere was the best way to describe student council this year. Last fall. Homecoming was the center of at- tention. Stuco's numerous talents were put into use through the com- mittees, and with the participation of Dan Carlson, Scott McMullen, Lori Knutstrom and others of the student body. Homecoming was a great success. To celebrate the holi- day season, students enjoyed the Five Days of Christmas. These in- cluded a hot chocolate and donut breakfast, canned food drive and decorating a school tree. To end the week A Capella sang carols in Cen- tral's halls. Like previous years, the annual elderly dinner and student affairs week were impressive. The energetic council body ex- pressed a concern about its image. To make constructive critisizms and suggestions, students filled out sur- veys. President Tim Tutt felt the sur- veys were helpful saying It gave stu- dents a chance to express their feel- ings. Several council members also thought the surveys helped them to know what the student's expecta- tions were. Student council's enthusiastic ef- forts didn't always receive the re- sponse hoped for. Although almost all the council members helped serve donuts at Christmas, the turn- out of students to eat was small. Later, after all their planning, the Christmas dance was cancelled. Stu- dent council was in unison on the thought that the student body had to participate for complete success. Overall though, council strength- ened itself. Tim compared it to last year and concluded, Thipgs are much better in and out of council. There is more structure and partici- pation. Both Tim and Vice President Tom Tallman agreed that council had only begun to tap it's resources. The group contained plenty of potential and talent.

French club planned a trip to New Orleans. This was the fifth trip since the club began; they left April 15th and re- turned on the 20th. It is one thing to talk about French cuisine, stated Mr. Fredericksen, and another to actually taste it. Although Spanish club did not plan a trip, they planned on going to Circa '21 dinner and playhouse. In either club, no one was ever pres- sured into going, It's purely volun- tary, stated Miss Vukelich. To learn a little about different cul- tures, one should join Spanish or French club.

It's like school spirit: some get it cheering at auds, others by participat- ing in a school activity, and some have pride in their school even though they don't participate. The problem was that so many di- verse attitudes in a school like Central made it hard to get a group together. Not only that, people didn't easily ac- cept other people's attitudes about school spirit. In an effort to build a Pep Club which would support the Debate Team as well as the football team, the lonely cross- country runners, as well as the mem- bers of A Capella, Advisor Banks Swan tried to put together a group of enthu- sists at 7:45 A.M. The small group did their best to drum up school spirit. They decorated the football players, volleyball players, and wrestler's lock- ers during their respective seasons with encouraging signs, put banners on the buses of the All-State musicians going to Ames, and displayed signs in the halls. Pep Club members had many ideas to promote spirit, but they didn't have the manpower to make them work. Swan commented, We lack school spirit because everybody is too busy with other commitments like work. Nonetheless, the small but energetic group of Pep Club members showed their spirit in their special way. Another group that supported the school was D Men's which gave the student body enthusiasm toward athle- tic events. No, D Men's was not orga- nized donut eating. Advisor Ira Duns- worth described it as, a service club open to any varsity letter winner. The purpose of the club was to help out school athletics wherever needed. D Men were seen at basketball games selling programs to raise money. The profits of the D Men's club this year went toward buying equipment for the training room. Although both clubs were loosely or- ganized due to the many commitments of the members, they each acheived the ultimate goal of giving support to the various activities and organizations at Central.

AFS People and experience The silver wings of the plane dipped circling eastward in the late afternoon sun. One girl, over 7,000 miles from home, clutched the arms of her seat turning her knuckles white. Each circle of the plane brought the runway closer and closer. When the plane scraped the runway once, twice, three times and settled into its slowing run, the girl realized, I'm on my own. Everything will be new and I'll be living with strangers. I'm alone ... She had just started her AFS experience, but although she was on her own, she wasn't all alone. Experience is the key word to an AFS summer or year, said Karen Goff. She travelled to Asuncion, Paraguay last summer to live with a large Spanish family. Everything we learned at ori- entation centered around that word and all summer long there really wasn't a better word. Even taking the bus was an experience! Steve Gish felt very lucky that he was able to attend school in Benoni, South Africa. His father was principal at his school and I never had any problems! joked Steve. His South African summer was quite different from a South American summer, but there were si- milarities. The best experience I had was not going to a foreign country, but living with a new family. They provided the best way to know the culture and the people of South Africa. I thought having new experiences would be very important, stated Naoko Kono. Naoko was a year pro- gram AFS student from Tokoyo, Japan. Leaving a home for a year was a little scarey, but a country where the lan- guage was different was even more so. Naoko studied English for eight years and had little trouble expressing her thoughts. People imagine foreigners are so different and strange, but they're not. People are the same all over the world. Both the summer program and win- ter program are a very short time to learn about a new country. About the time you stop considering it foreign and start thinking home, it's time to pack up ponchos, lace, and sharks' teeth and board the plane once again for the place you wrote letters and let- ters to all year long. The first week's anxieties have been forgotten and al- though you look forward to getting back to family and friends, saying good- bye is the hardest experience of all. Organization AFS 49 MR.

Newspaper Emphasizing writing Combining excellence and team work, the Blackhawk Newspaper staff created a consistent, award-winning paper receiving the George Gallup Award for six consecutive years. Behind this newspaper was the com- pelling force of Advisor Rod Vahl, a very qualified teacher who has written books on editorial writing and consum- er reporting as well as led journalism workshops across the country. In- Depth Editor Ken Harris feels that, Mr. Vahl's professionalism affected the Blackhawk by making it more seri- ous and informative but at the same time keeping a balance of feature arti- cles. In an effort to give students a chance to compare other high school newspapers with the Blackhawk, Mr. Vahl exchanges 150 papers with other schools all over the country. Mr. Vahl looks for a skillful combination of intel- ligence, writing ability, personality, sensitivity, and responsivness to the student body in his newspaper people. This years paper was more news-ori- ented than previous years. Editor-in- Chief Steve Gish stated, This year we had more people interested in writing and fewer photographers. One of our most effective stories was the one in November on the apathy of the presi- dential candidates before the election. We also experimented with humorous stories. News Editor Rob Karwath feels that, This year's staff was more aware of current events and were willing, to go out and really get into the issues, making the paper more timely. Outstanding patience, skill, and abili- ty were found in both photographers and writers who overcame such obsta- cles as declining darkroom facilities to produce the excellent paper which the Blackhawk is. “THIS YEAR we had more people interested in writing, stated Editor-in-Chief, Steve Cish.

The topic Resolved that the Federal gov- ernment should initate and enforce safety guarantees on consumer goods, dealt with anything the everyday American person purchased at the store. The resolution enforced that the government should be responsible for protecting the people from harmful goods. The topic had a real advantage: it was easy to relate to, was broad and involved everyday encounters, stated Heidi Duitsman. Margaret Gaffney ad- ded, It was very interesting and unlike other years, it dealt with problems in the United States. Although people spoke of the de- bate team and saw a picture of twenty members, there were more individual goals than any regular team. Debators were loyal and cheered each other on, but the work, winning and losing was done individually or with a partner. Students like DeLise Keim participated in individual events ranging from dra- matic interpretations to extemporane- ous speaking. For the argumentive area of debate, students worked with one partner, taking turns speaking and making points in an orderly format. The Debate team really consisted of the individuals and partners. Succeeding Tom Jansen as coach, Diane Flaherty spurred the team to do their best work. Mrs. Flaherty felt, The varsity team has done extremely well. They were very talented and worked to their capacity at all times. The four man varsity team voiced a regret though, they were disappointed in not attending all the tournaments. They felt not participating in the extra tourna- ments hindered them from working to what they thought was their full capac- ity. The junior varsity team felt more positive. Gaffney and Duitsman said they would do it all again. It will help through college and in our careers, both agreed. Coach Flaherty thought the JV and novice teams have done great and have tremendous potential for next year. She sums it up saying It's been a very rewarding year.

Organizations Dcbatc 53 Yearbook Stressing color Increasing in value year by year, frag- ile, ghostlike memories become as vivid as reality when the door is opened to the past. This future key, Blackhawk yearbook, is held in the capable hands of Editor- in-Chief Sheila Kruse and her assistant Karen Goff. Together they work with junior and senior editors and staff in a team effort. As stated by Assistant Edi- tor Karen Goff, Yearbook is like a sport — you work with the staff to be- come a team and to win. I have spent hours of extra time working on year- book deadlines. The yearbook's ever-changing staff depends greatly on the stabilizing ef- fect of Adviser Mrs. Mac llvain. Hours of her spare time are spent year round supervising production, with advertis- ing campaigns, and recruiting new members. Summing up this year's staff, Mrs. Mac llvain said, Depth and vari- ety of talent is typical of this yearbook staff. Although no restrictions existed as to content, tact and a great deal of thought were employed so as to pre- sent a respectable image to the com- munity. Adviser Mrs. Mac llvain be- lieves that a yearbook should be realis- tic. Therefore, content of the yearbook wasn't narrowed only to the high school world. Keeping a steady pace with change and broader views were a recognized necessity. Thus a future key is left to open the door to today- tomorrow's yesterday- giving rebirth to fading memories.

Wince. 56 Drama Club Bigger and better History repeated itself as drama members, in memory of Thespis, stepped into roles, much as Thespis did when he took man's first acting part. Thus, in likeness to this highly admired Greek of ancient days, members exhib- ited their talents, creativity, and indi- viduality by becoming members of the International Thespians Society. In order to become thespians, stu- dents such as Linda Rasmussen, Cathy Dauble, Beth Dauble, Steve Beuter, Gina Gonzales, John Allard, Jay Bloods- worth, Steve Blevins, and David Osborn first obtained ten points. This was done by going to plays, participating in Dra- ma events, etc ... After paying a five dollar fee came either a formal, or, to the dismay of the initiate an informal initiation. This went from recitation to traditional initiation antics practiced by many groups and clubs. These initi- ations were carried out by Advisor Mrs. Memos, co-presidents Chris Kennedy and Suzanne Hodges, and treasurer Dan White. This was one goal most members of Drama Club had in common. But more widely known by the student body were the new and constantly changing goals. These varied from their fall pro- duction of Macbeth shown November 21 and 22, to trips planned for New York and Chicago to see stage produc- tions done by professionals, as well as one-acts to prepare for contests held in February. Although acting is recog- nized as the main part of drama, an important fact was stressed by Mrs. Memos, This year is stronger because we've gotten a lot of kids who haven't ascociated with theater before, and we need this. Co-president Suzi Hodges agreed, The only real set back we had was the myth that you have to be a fantastic actor to be of use. We want people who are willing to learn, and this includes learning about props, cos- tumes, lighting, sound, publicity, and everything else, not just acting. Having had the courage to accept the challenge of change. Drama Club strove to improve. Success was num- bered in an increase of interest as well as in number of members. -w«-0 Organizations Drama Club 57 Natare All for applause Lights, music, action! ... and the start of another Natare show. The prep- aration and work that started at the be- ginning of the year climaxed during one May weekend leaving the sounds of music, laughing, and splashing chas- ing the shadows and echoes from the corners. Catch a Cruise featuring the CHS Natare was the theme for this year's water show. Using every club member for duet, solo, and team numbers, the show enjoyed an excellent turnout. And there were also many special touches that added to the show's vari- ety. We started earlier this year, ex- plained Maria Roslansky. The club practiced every Monday, but didn't have problems with the pool filtering system and competing with other teams for pool time as in previous years. Both coaches have given us alot of motivation. People are staying in and not dropping out, added Maria. The two coaches made a big differ- ence for the club. At first, the change of coaches made everyone a little un- certain, admitted Beth Bischman, but they soon found out that coaches Barb Phelps and Sue Quigg had much to of- fer in the way of ideas, help, and being a friend. One important aspect of the show is the variety of work which was done. Anything from sewing a costume, drawing and painting a backdrop, de- signing and learning the swim routines, and finally turning out the show are all to fulfill the goal of captivating the au- dience for a fun filled hour. It's all the little extras—the backdrop, lighting, and costumes — that give it the 'special touch', said Carla Sturdevant. That first night of the show was the best and the worst. After the practices that seemed like total disasters and ar- guments that went unresolved, show night rolled around setting butterflies loose in stomachs. The inevitable ques- tion arose as to who was in the audi- ence and questioning heads poked around the stairwell to find out for themselves. Pandemonium broke loose as members ru- id to get into their costumes and u..e a final deep breath before the smell of spirit glue assailed their nostrils. The step in front of the spot light was almost blinding, the step into the water a shock, but the ap- plause when it was over couldn't be equalled by anything.

With fun and science combined, science club had many ac- tivities, We don't just sit around and talk science, remarked club president, Gail Stevens. The activities of science club ranged from trips and fund raisers, to parties. Fund raising included carwashes, bake sales, coat checks, and pop sales at the home basketball games, also movies in the science vein combines with the parties to fund two trips and club fi- nances. The parties were to encourage new members, and to celebrate major holidays. Plans for trips included the Science and Engineering fair in Minne- apolis, and others that got the students behind the science community such as the Franciscan Hospital labs.

Diary Part of ourselves Student interest in submitting origi- nal stories, essays, and poems were captured by Devils' Dairy members. New promotions included the short story contest with the topic The Devil Made Me Do It , and a Mystery story with a Central High setting. Both con- tests offered prizes of $10 for 3rd, $15 for 2nd, and $25 for 1st place. Aside from the contest various other works were contributed by students. Growth of interest led to an im- provement in artwork compared to previous years. This observation was made by Mrs. Christian, The bulk of artwork is superior to the artwork of last year. Although improvements were made members were still faced with setbacks. Due to a limited budget Devils' Dairy was unable to have photographs, a goal to be worked for, and only rudimentary printing could be afforded. Undaunted by these difficulties members enthusiastically volunteered all their talents to produce a successful Devil's Dairy. Sharing responsibility of Devil's Dairy were co-editors Bridget O'Leary and Steve Hendricks who worked with Art Staff: Lonora Swanson, David Lantow, Sara Shore, and Grey Holbert. Typing the numerous works were typists Julie Murty, Cindy Sloman, Dan Ellis, Russell Noel, Dawn Bryant, Suzanne Hodges, Kris Anderson, and Diane Hatfield. Also there to give needed advice were Mrs. Christian and Mrs. Booth. To begin its second decade staff members ordered more copies to be printed in order to meet the growing demand for Central's own literary mag- azine which was sold March first. A unique book was formed by a variety of talent shared by all types of students. As Julie McAllister put it, Again we leave behind another year, and another part of ourselves.

To put the cross-sec- tion of people attending Cen- tral under one category would be stereotyping, and we've had enough of that done to us already. What we've got here are the intellects, the jocks, the rockers, the rollers, the disco kings, the homecoming queens. We've got the upper class, the lower class, and ev- ery class in between. We've got blacks, whites, reds, blues. We've got people and that's an education in itself. The art of learning to deal with differ- ent folks is something to be applied in everyone's lifetime; one of the few things which will actually be used after high school. The point is. Central has survived so many years be- cause each person is an indi- vidual, not a type. The school has maintained a balance equaled to no other. So go ahead, look at our perfect bal- ance; see why Central's doors have always been open; un- derstand we have as many var- iables as we do people.

It got a little complicated figuring what year went with what grade, but when we figured it out, 1981 seemed ages away. We laughed and thought to ourselves, It'll never come. But it came and it's here. Our year is one that we looked forward to from Day 1. Seniors seemed to be the biggest, oldest, and best at everything. We looked up in awe at the past senior classes.

I think they do, because I just crawled under a table and at least ten sophomores were staring at me like they couldn't believe a senior would do that! We got to 1981 and expected brass bands, banners, hysterical fun, and parties every weekend. What we got was a little different.

The building loomed before me, its appearance foreboding. Bright banners and stream- ers added a touch of color to the seemingly dismal edifice. I prepared to meet my doom on the first day of ... HIGH SCHOOL. Stepping into the hall, I was taken aback by the lively frenzy of students. Many looked as confused as I felt, I recognized them as fellow sophomores. How strange this was compared to comfortable, familiar Junior High School. Day two: I don't believe I made it through the first day. Today I only got lost three times and slipped down the stairs four times. I was tardy once because I forgot my padlock combination. I remembered that the ground floor isn't first floor, and found out that you don't have to crawl through the tunnel. Regret- fully, I also discovered that my elevator pass was outdated. There was so much to learn.

High school was full of new and excit- ing experiences for us sophomores. Going to foot- ball games and cheering at pep auds, we realized we had as much spirit as the other classes. We had a place at our great school. It was funny to think that even the know-it-all juniors and seniors went through the same initiation. Not everyone's impres- sion of Central was the same. When I first got here, I though it was an awesome place that I would get lost in, said Rick Patterson. For Francine Fields, who moved from Philelphia, it was different: My other school was rowdy, everyone was fighting, starting trouble, snatching your gold chains off your neck. They were starting fires and jumping you. Gerri Johnson shared the thought of many sophomores: On the second day it couldn't get any worse, and had to get better.

MARY BEAT: Language Arts, International Club Advisor, Spree Advisor MR. BART BECKER: Counselor MRS. BONNIE BEORKEM: Business Education FACULTY When I became a teacher nineteen years ago, I did so with the understanding that I was entering an occupation that would make great demands on my time, an occupation where the monetary remuneration could never compen- sate for the time and effort put forth. I understood that my reward would be in the daily challenges from and achieve- ments of my students. While some years have been like chapters from Up the Down Staircase, most have had the necessary balance of challenge and reward to make the job fulfilling. However, as I enter the eighties, I am concerned. Why do many students accept failure as a matter of course? Why are so many parents and students intolerant of the ideas of others? What happened to creativity, originality, humor? Why are people so selfish, unwilling to give of themselves and their time? Why do people have many rights, but few responsibilities? What's wrong with becoming involved, with caring, with being proud of being an American, an Iowan from Davenport, a member of the Central communi- ty? Each generation presents new challenges as it faces the problems of its time. Will I see the students of this decade in light of the changes that have occurred, or will I look back to a less complicated period and wonder what went wrong? Can I continue to listen, to learn, to care, or will I become a jealous guardian of my time, unwilling to listen, to care, to grow? -Barbara Hess MR. JOHN BERNATZ: Fine Arts, Band Director MRS.

Hidden Pride As students, we do not always see the real work that goes into keeping a school running: the people who help by preparing meals, sweeping halls, repairing the school itself, and many other small jobs that are very important. We don't notice the sixteen ladies who work in the cafeteria ordering, preparing and serving our lunches. We don't notice the nineteen men and women who make up the custodial staff which maintains the cleanliness of the school and makes needed repairs. But the work of these people does not stop at the end of a school day when we eo home. There are tnree banquets a year in which the luncnroom staff prepares meals for a num- ber of people. Custodians also are on hand at different sporting events. When asked about her staff, Norma Saunders replied, I feel we do a very good job keeping in mind inflation, limited equipment, and limited electricity. We have a very good staff and a lot of cooperation from Mr. Fisher. Dean Taylor, head custodian, feels the same way about his staff, We've got custodians who have experience from thirty years to three months. They're a good, hard working crew. When you walk down the halls or make your way down the stairs, and smell the pizza coming from the cafeteria, think about the people who sweep the halls, clean the bath- rooms, and order the bread, and be proud that they are a part of our school.

Photo by L. Kozich. Where's Your Pass? What most students think would be the most dreaded job of any, is the job of being a teacher's aid. But actually, it's not. The T.A.'s working at Central enjoy their job and find it very interesting. It gives me an opportunity to work with the kids of today, and I enjoy doing that, stated Randy Meador. They always seem to pop out of no where just when a student decides he needs something out of his locker and doesn't have a hall pass. Because most students resent authority and hate being told what to do, they feel that the T.A.'s are just giving them a hard time, but they're just doing their job. One of my jobs is to try to keep noise down while the other classes are in session, stated Frank Pena. Keeping law and order around the campus area, and making sure students don't violate campus rules, is what Praites Wilson feels is part of his job here at Central. The T.A.'s are all working as a team along with the rest of the faculty in order to help the students. If a student is having a hard time and doesn't want to talk to his teacher about it, he can come and talk to us because we're just a little bit different from the teachers and maybe we can help, expressed Frank Pena. Most students don't want to give the T.A.'s a chance. From the very first, they hold a grudge against them just because they're here to enforce the law. What students should do is get to know them and then they can find out for themselves whether or not they are as bad as we make them out to be. Because teacher's aids are a definite necessity, they will always be around. MR. BANKS SWAN: Health and Physical Education, Wrestling Head Coach, Pep Club Advisor MR.

Top Coach in Nation Two outs, two men on, and a full count on the batter. Veteran head baseball coach Bill Freese calls time out and strolls to the mound. Freese han- dles it with the poise that comes from twenty-three years of coaching, twenty of those right here. He's handled situa- tions like that so well, in fact, that last year he was named as the top high school baseball coach in the nation. The award, given by the National High School Athletic Coaches Association, is the highest award that can be given a coach by his coaching peers. The award is given each year to the top coach in each of the sixteen different athletic areas. Freese has been involved in baseball all his life and enjoys it immensely. He commented, I came from a small high school where I played baseball and bas- ketball. Simpson College awarded me a scholarship and from there I played professional baseball with the New York Yankees for six years. In between seasons, I continued my education until I finally decided to get my degree and go into coaching. Freese has had con- tinuing success at Central, with 1979 being the teams latest state title. Freese, who had a difficult time picking one highlight from his coaching career, said, One of my greatest thrills is see- ing a young man perform beyond what he thinks he can do. With a full family life at home, he feels he is lucky to have such an under- standing wife and two children. Dur- ing the summer months, my involv- ment is also my family's involvment. There are times when I'm sure they got tired of it, but they didn't complain at all, commented Freese. Having taught social studies here for twenty years, he feels that the school is just great. The students have fantastic pride in this school and it's been won- derful to me. If you take a look at what the school has had to face and over- come through the years, it really speaks well of Central and its student body. IN THE ATMOSPHERE of his home, Freese proudly displays the award he won this past summer. Photo by M. Townsend.

Students use their weekends to dis- charge; teachers use their weekends to recharge, Max Heitt laughed. Al- though many don't stop to think about it, the faculty, too has to get away from school for a while. But, what ex- actly does a teacher do to unwind? Along with everyone else, the faculty has opened their doors and revealed some of their leisure-time activities. Not only does the faculty share the love of education, they share some of the same hobbies. Roaming our halls are horseback riders, gardeners, skiers, readers, music lovers, bike riders, and campers. Ron Johnson is a private pilot, Virginia Soults loves barbershop music, and Janet Bolser plays in her church hand bell choir. Tom Buis is president of an organization called Bible and Tract Society which is a Bible corre- spondence course sent to Ghana and Nigeria. Don McGee is deeply involved in the Lions' Club, and was voted Out- standing Young Educator in Davenport. Jon Curtis is a health food addict, and Pam and Chris Fredericksen are mem- bers of a gourmet dinner group. Most faculty members enjoy spend- ing as much of their free time with their families as possible. Ester Buerstetta and her son play baseball, and are involved in the cub scouts; Jim Gronenboom tries to keep his kids from eating with their mouths open; Ann Voorhees is kept busy with their brand new baby girl, while Larry Sherman is quite proud to say, We like each other! Although Davenport is terribly excit- ing, Don McGee occasionally finds the need to travel. He has been to Mexico, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong and Hawaii. Mary Beat has traveled to many foreign countries in her private plane. Pete Sweedy gets away when his astron- omy class has stargazes. All in all, our faculty is pretty well- rounded. So, the next time you think all your teachers have to do is sit around and think of homework assignments — Stop and think again. 124 WITH AN EAR FOR GOOD MUSIC, Karen Keuning considers purchasing an Ambassador Trio release.

Many a team would wish to have one or the other; the baseball team had both. Coming off of a state title the year before, the teams expectations were high, as five of the eight positions were held by seniors. The pitching staff, however, consisted of only one sen- ior, two juniors, a sopho- more and a freshman. Commented Head Coach Bill Freeze, We had a year with a young pitching staff. We want to see the kids reach their goals, to im- prove and achieve. Every year is a success as far as I'm concerned. The Blue Devils were hurt early by an injury to pitcher Jeff Nolan, who was lost for over half the sea- son. The rest of the team all contributed strongly; Kevin Oliger and Gene Rathje led the way by playing well enough to earn baseball scholarships to the Univer- sity of Iowa. The players won other awards, too. Mark Grafton and Rathje made the 1st South East All District Team and 1st Team All Conference with Rathje also placing on the All State Third team. Some of the highlights had to include the Devils' 5-0 thumping of the top ranked and undefeated Dubuque Hempstead, and their beating Assumption 8-7 after being behind 6-0 in the third inning oif the first district game. Central was beat two games later by eventual fourth place fin- isher Pleasant Valley, 4-3. Stated Freese, The nice thing is to see the constant improvement the kids made after a slow start and to finish with a successful record.

Working Together Keeping tradition alive Hard work-outs, long hours, the thrill of victory, the taste of defeat and the frustration of making indivuals into a team, — this is our athletics. Being in sports, I have learned to work harder for a goal that I want to obtain, stated volleyball player Felicia Woodruff. Being in sports also gave us the drive to never give up, the desire to be the best we could possibly be, and the feeling of accomplishment when we finally reached our goal. Perhaps the most important thing that we got out of sports, however, was the opportunity to work with different people and form everlasting friend- ships. Softball player Jackie Mayer sums up this feeling, Sports has shown me how a combination of people can work together in a unified way for the same goal. With the task of living up to the reputation of being one of the toughest sports powers in the state, we had to dedicate ourselves to keeping this tadi- tion alive.

Among them he said, Winning ten games, and beating the Lost Nation var- sity team. The team was made up of eight freshman and the rest sophomores. In early May, coaches Kaul and Hoekse- ma's try-outs saw forty young players give their best; of these forty, twenty made the team. It was the most improved team from beginning to end, Hoeksema credited the young group: We got quite a bit out of the fresh- men. If we didn't have them, we would have had a bad year, added Hoeksema. Donald Leigh compli- mented by Coach Hoek- sema, was one of the more outstanding players. Leigh, along with Kevin James, tied in home runs with each oth- er. James also patrolled the infield at shortstop with his undaunted glove. Another team leader was Bob Herr. He led the team in such categories as: batting aver- age, stolen bases, and runs batted in. Although setting a school record with eighty-three er- rors in twenty-two games, the coaching staff was quite proud of the sophomore re- cord of 10-12. Our season could have been a lot worse, conclud- ed Hoeksema. WHILE WAITING for their turn at bat, Dan Ramirez, Randy Van- Maanen, Tom Warner, Mike Shaw, Art Carter, Brad Dau, Coach Ken Kaul, and Bill Speer line the fence at Brady Field. Photo by L. Kozich.

After losing only one senior, the team had many returning junior and senior letterwinners to give them the most experienced team ever. Their first game, a practice game against West, seemed to be an omen of the season to come. The girls found West too overpowering and lost 18-0, ending the game after the fifth inning on the ten run rule. Following the leadership of captain Caroline Christen- sen, the team worked two to three hours everyday and twice on Saturdays, to im- prove their offense and toughen up their defense, but even after all the hard work, it never seemed to be enough to pull out the wins. It was a rough season, we didn't work as well together as we could have, we were a much better team than our record shows , stated An- nette Remley. After a team meeting in the middle of the season, the girls overcame their differ- ences and put together a four game winning streak. They beat top ranked Clin- ton by coming from behind with a rally in the bottom of the seventh inning and topped their biggest rival Bettendorf. The high point of the season came when we beat Bettendorf and started getting along , commented Sherry Segura. With the coming of tour- nament time, the girls had hopes of going far, but their first round game against North Scott ended these dreams when the Lancers proved to be the better team, winning 14-1. With the door closed on their hopes of a successful season, Caroline Christensen reflected back, We could have gone somewhere, but we never really got it all to- gether .

Kozich. 134 Faithful Fans At every athletic event, support of the team could be very important in deter- mining the outcome of the event. Of course there are always the cheerleaders try- ing to generate some spirit, and depending upon the type of season the team is having, the student body would show their support. But behind every team, whether they're winning or losing, were always the par- ents. These dedicated few followed their teams where ever they went, whether it was just to George Marshall gym, or to the state tourna- ment. I like the sport. I'm interested in the game and I know the players, was why Fern Winchell follows the teams. Not only did the parents show their support by fol- lowing their teams, but also by raising money for them. Money made from selling parent booster tickets goes into a general fund for the athletic teams, stated Mary Meumann. This money was used to buy anything that the teams felt they needed. Perhaps the most dedi- cated and supportive fan, however, was Ed Allchin, more commonly known to most people as, Rhino. He could always be seen at foot- ball and basketball games, vocalizing his opinion of the playing and reffing. I love the school; its the best school in the state, and it has the best sports tradition in the state, is how Rhino explained his enthusiastic support of the teams. Maybe it was this unselfish support of the athletes that has helped to build the win- ning tradition and the con- tinuing of this support that will carry it on.

Photo by S. Burk. The roar of the crowd out- side was the only noise which seeped into the dark Varsity locker room filled with football players resting and concentrating on the game ahead of them. The room echoed the words em- phasized by Coach Fox earli- er that week, Improvement is the goal, if we get a little better every week the score will take care of itself. The key to the football season was improvement and it was evident after that first game in which the young team lost to Rock Is- land 6-0, that more hard work and concentration would be necessary to have a successful season. We knew we had to give the team some time before everything would jell, and the offense would work, reflects Fox. We had more youth than other teams and more prob- lems possible because of the inexperience. During the season, the team matured quickly, com- ing back after their second non-conference loss to Mo- line 7-6 to win three games in a row and the city cham- pionship. I wouldn't trade our win over West to beat every other team in the con- ference, reflects Fox of the 14-3 victory. Dave Riefe re- flects his opinion stating, If we lose to other teams, we don't see them until next season, but if we lose to West or Assumption, we have to live with them all year. Inspite of the 4-5 overall record, there is no doubt in the coaches and players that they had a successful season. The small squad of 55 losing 13 players since the begin- ning of the season, rushed for more yards than anyone in the conference with 1661 yards on the ground, and was second only to Betten- dorf in total scoring, offen- sive average, having 297.1 yards per game to Betten- dorfs 302.4 yards per game. Individual achievements also stood out with linemen Jeff Custer and Dave Riefe, who were also team captains, running back Bob Simmons, defensive end Shaun Barn- hart and defensive back Tom Murphy being selected to the first team all Mississippi Eight conference and the All-State team as well. To me, being successful is having a good time during the season and knowing we've played our hardest ev- ery game, states coach Murphy. I've been around championship teams that couldn't get along with each other, and whenever a team is as close as these guys were, the season is always a sue- rof. n 136 VARSITY FOOTBALL: Front row: Todd Nicholas, Steve Lampkin, Dave Riefe, Kevin Moeller, Mark Grafton, Jell Custer, Paul Duax; 2nd row: Shawn Barnhart, Bob Simmons, Vic Couch, Tom Jcetcr, Tom Murphy, Alvin Clark, Felix Vasquez, Al Thomas; 3rd row: Ralph Kelly, David Rohlf, Randy Farrell, Terry Kozich, Steve Pauli, Brett Morgan, Terry Grafton, Tony Hagner, Scott Gilbert; 4th row: Don Swinscoe, Mike Major, Steve Ketclaar, Marshall Cotton, Blake Davis, Brent Rogers, Kent Walker, Mike Barnhart, David Lyons; 5th row: Chris Brown, Mike Bcwlcy, Bob Herr, Steve Wilson, Steve Gar- lock, Brian Bolterman, Pat Winckler, Keith Hanes, Daryle Si- HARD ON THE ATTACK, a Clin- ton River King attempts to tackle the elusive Bobby Simmons.

Raw Talent As the season progressed we raised our expectations and they constantly met them, said defensive coach Ron Owen of the sopho- more football team, At the beginning of the year we thought we'd have a winning season, but the team far ex- ceeded our expectations. And what was the cause of this success? Higher morale, strong wins at Rock Island and Bettendorf, raw talent, and a team effort were all major contributing factors. These, with the exception of talent, are factors which have been lacking in the past. The team started their 6-2-1 season with a victory at Rock Island, setting the tone for the rest of the season. They lost their next match to Moline, then came back to win the city title. Only the tie with Clinton, and the loss to Burlington kept them from a conference cham- poinship. An exceptionally strong defensive and offensive line made this team very sound, remarked Owen. The team had a lot of desire, talent, and effort; they wanted to win and they worked for it. The team started out with 60 players and ended up with 42 who endured the long hours of practice and conditioning. Injuries, which can effect a team seriously, were not around this year as there were no problems all year long. In all, this was a team which could be proud of its accomplishments and successes.

With no real leadership shown on the court, the girls were waiting for someone else to take charge, and no one really wanted to. This all changed after their next game, which was a big victory over cross town rival West. The girls finally got everything together. The beginning of the season was terrible, but we worked to- ward learning from mistakes made by others and realizing that each one of us made some too , stated Michelle Schaab. Following the enthusiasm generated by Maeve Clarke and the outstanding perfor- mance on the court by Linda Grensing, the team dis- proved their earlier reputa- tion. Finishing fourth at the Lancers Invitational tourna- ment, the team went on to win six out of their last seven games, beating top ranked Muscatine, in the last game of the regular season, three straight games. Come tournament time, the girls found themselves matched against the team rated fourth in the state, the Bettendorf Bulldogs. After Bettendorf won the first two games, the girls fought hard to stay alive in the match, but Bettendorf was just too strong, taking the fourth game and heading closer to their ultimate second place finish at the state tourna- ment. As usual the girls kept the tradition of having a win- ning volleyball team alive. AS MICHELLE SCHAAB LOOKS ON, Sherry Segura executes a per- fect set. Photo by L. Kozich.

The Real Stars A successful person always had someone backing them, but who backed a successful team? The people who prac- ticed with them everyday and went to all of their games. The players who sat on the bench were the help- ful people that need to be thanked. The reason coaches gave for sitting on the bench was that they weren't as talented as others. That may have been true but they were big- ger stars. Anyone can go out for a sport and be a star but it takes a real athlete to go out for a sport and know he she is going to sit bench and still work hard every- day, commented Conee Biggs. Those players were the real stars and Coach Bal- lard says, Everybody's equally important. Players that go out for a sport and rarely believe in the saying that Quitters never win and winners never quit. I didn't want to quit because if you quit once you get into the habit of quitting, it's like if you have a job that you don't like and so you quit, believed football play- er Steve Pauli. Though play- ers don't want to become quitters they also want ex- perience, a chance to im- prove their skills, and to en- joy the sport, like Darlene Collins, Vanessa Griffin and others. Credit should be given to the people who sat bench during sports. They helped support the players that were on the floor by cheer- ing and letting them know they were there. Perfor- mance was the main key but so was attitude. And every- one had an important role to play. 148 FROM THE BENCH, Rochelle Bragg looks for a careful pass to keep the opponents from get- ting the ball. Photo by G. Thompson.

Strange sensations crept over the crowd as they watched the Central girls fight for the last two points that would break the tie and win the second game against Burlington. After going on a losing streak the girls made a come back. We came back now we're on our way! was the cheer from the team. Playing varsity was a new experience for some players such as Darlene Collins, Ma- rie Anderson and Amy Stew- art, but they received a warm welcome and shared a great learning experience with returning players like Conee Biggs, Linda Wag- goner and Mary Bempke. At first we were good be- cause we'd lose one then we'd win one, then we'd lose some, but then we went on a losing streak (which was the bad part), it was an okay season, felt guard Vanessa Griffin. Though the team went on a losing streak in the middle of the season they learned that recognizing sit- uations adjusting to them and taking advantage quickly were the key goals. As they put their sights toward indi- vidual and team improve- ment the girls developed self-discipline mentally and physically. While new uniforms and sweaters gave this year's team a warm sense of unity, momentous occasions, like at the first Burlington game when guard Crystal Wash- ington devastated the oppo- nent with a casual walk, drib- ble and quick pass, helped the team make it through difficult times. Great compe- tition was given to Central in each of the games and that's a lasting memory. Practice was a must for all players and called for com- plete dedication and time. We could have won alot of those games, some of them we just gave away , felt Dar- lene Collins. That may have been true, but the girls stressed great precision in their drills and proved that whether on a losing streak or winning streak a team can al- ways pull through by sticking together.

Starting practice in No- vember, the girls were not too optimistic for a very suc- cessful season, but they set their sights to win as many games as they lost. We were hoping to just finish at .500; we didn't have much talent but we wanted to develop into a respectable team . stated Julie Keeling. Working hard to put ever- ything together and gain confidence in each other, the girls learned not to be- come too overconfident after the first half of play and to play a full game. Midway through the sea- son the girls quit working to- gether and went into a losing streak. During the West and Bettendorf games, we began working as individuals in- stead of as a team , ex- plained Alicia Foster. Finally, towards the end however, the team pulled together and won back to back games over North Scott and Burlington. Though the final game of the season was a disappoint- ment, and 87-41 loss to the undefeated West squad, the season overall was satisfying, and proved that even though there wasn't much talent, through hard work and determination, success could still be attained.

Matburns, takedowns, cutting weight and seeming- ly endless conditiong are not physical punishments usually experienced by the average person. However, they are common place in the world of wrestling and everyday occurrences for the thirty young men who lived in this world from early November to mid-February. Although the graplers had their diffi- culties this season they re- fused to give up the fight. A lack of depth at the heavier weights was without a doubt the team's biggest weakness, assented Head Coach Banks Swan. This was in part caused by the loss of several prospective upper- weight wrestler's to injuries before the season got under way, to clearly demonstrate this weakness Coach Swan added, We were winning in all but three meets before we reached the 155-and- over weight divisions. Young could also be used to describe the team with seniors Greg Hampton, Sam Gutierrez, Breck Las- chansky and Jay Bloods- worth being the only four with full experience. Several sophomores were also called on to compete at the varsity level on a number of occa- sions. One of the toughest as- pects of wrestling that merits special attention is cutting weight. This means going with very little to eat or drink for two to three days and often times performing the workout in heavy sweats of sauna suits. Mike Atwell and Scott Martin described some of the affects of cutting weight in the following way, You are tired and irritable and constantly feel dehy- drated or 'cotton- mouthed'. One might ask, why the great sacrifice? Bri- an Hampton stated, I like the individuality of the com- petition, while Jim Post felt the personal satisfaction was his major source of motiva- tion. At the close of a season that had its ups and downs it need be realized that the team's 4-7 record doesn't necessarily reflect all the de- termination and talent actu- ally present. A relatively young team such as this one offered the possibility of strength in the future and Coach Swan felt a better tur- nout for the sport would help the program a great deal. Also, even though the regular season was over, in- dividuals continued to train in an attempt to shine at the District meet and possibly earn a berth at the State meet. 154 AFTER PRACTICING MOVES and wrestling each other, the team fin- ishes off practive with a tough wor- kout.

Indeed, the team had a rough time at it, with their schedule including four teams in Iowa and one in Illinois that were ranked in the top ten of the state. Guard Mark Grafton com- mented, There have been a lot of ups and downs and a lot of hardships to handle, but all in all it's been a good experience. The squad did not have the season they had hoped for, but did pull out a few thrillers in one of the tough- est conferences in the state. Two of the teams best games came against tough oppo- nents; the Rock Island game and the second West game, where Central battled right down to the line before los- ing 55 to 50. Coach Grensing admired the players ability to come back each week and work hard in preparation for the next game. The team was led by 6'9 center Tony Karasek, who was near the top in re- bounding in the conference all season. Karasek was not the whole team, however, as he was supported by steady forward Vic Couch, guard Mark Grafton and Terry Ko- zich,and Forward Gerald Ed- mundson. The team top re- serves, Dan Simpson and Larry Johnson, also saw plen- ty of playing time. These players helped contribute to WHENEVER THE OPPOSITION made the mistake of leaving the middle open, Tony Karasek was there to take advantage of it as he did in the North Scott game. Photo by L.

Kozich. the things that make this year stand out: the ability to defend against certain teams and to improve upon their records as sophomores. A spectator, Joe Grothusen, noted that they had the tal- ent, but they needed more discipline. The Blue Devils were not a crowd pleaser and many team goals were not met, but quite a few individuals ac- complished goals that will never be reached by a spec- tator and in their minds and hearts the season was a com- plete success to these ball players. ir-O Sports Varsity Boys' Basketball 157 UP, UP AND AWAY soars Ter Johnson for the opening tip-of Photo by C. Thompson. Stepping up 158 It was the fourth quarter at Assumption, score tied at 44 with six minutes to go. But Central's tough defense and excellent teamwork proved too much for the Knights, as the sophomores won by ten; the biggest win of the season for this determined team. They have shown a lot of improvement since the be- ginning of the season, said head coach Jim Groenen- boom. With Chris Cartee leading in statistics and Ran- dy VanMaanen the best out- shooter, these energetic sophomores breezed past six opponents by seven points or more. The team held to- gether when most needed with the help of emotional leader Booker Scott. This season, we've been up and down, said Groen- enboom. Certainly one of the ups was the Assumption win. The downs, something every team hopes will be very few, came when least expected. Losing to Burling- ton at home by two points was a very big disappoint- ment. Hoping to make up for that loss they went to Burlington very confidently. But very poor ball playing was credited with the soph- omores' loss. Unlike varsity, sophomore sports only last for one sea- son and then the next step is either junior varsity or varsi- ty. There are advantages and disadvantages to working with a team for only one sea- son. Since recruiting is not allowed for sophomore sports, Groenenboom says, You take what you get and work from there. Several players have a chance for varsity ball next year, de- pending on who develops the most. I think of them as my kids, since I was the one who got my hands on them first, says Groenenboom of the varsity team. Carrying on the winning tradition of sports, the soph- omore basketball team fin- ished better than they have for the last three years. THE NEXT PLAY is called out by Asst.

Kozich Seasoned Swimmers This is starting out as one of our best years, because everyone hit either their conference or district times of last year in the first meet, stated Tad Dunsworth of the boys' swim team. A swimmer's life was not too easy during the season. A typical day started off by waking to an annoying alarm at 5:15 A.M. Being too tired to fix a healthy breakfast, plain cold cereal became the norm. Then out to the mis- erable cold, driving to school, and swimming an average of 2l i miles. Then after one was thoroughly ex- hausted, the first hour bell rang. After school, it was down to the pool again to swim four more miles, along with weight lifting every other day. Swimmers arrived home at 5:30 P.M., ate din- ner, did homework until 7:30 or 8:00, and went to bed at 9:00 to start the same rou- tine in the morning. There were some lighth- earted moments during practice. Rosy-Butts were the coaches favorite when a swimmer was caught cuss- ing. This consisted of the guilty swimmer standing on a starting block and holding his ankles while reciting the poem: Rosy-Butt, Rosy- Butt, how 1 like my butt Rosy, at which time the coach swatted the swimmer on the bottom with a kick board. A tradition that took place on the last swim prac- tice of the year, was for all the swimmers to practice in the nude, while the coach quickly locked the doors! One of the contributing factors to the success of the team was the return of state qualifiers: Joe Ehlers, Jeff Breaw, Craig Congdon, Scott lllingsworth and Tad Duns- worth. Joe Ehlers broke the standing school records of 50 and 100 freestyle, and was leading the state in these two events. Fine, strong seniors were the major part of the team, but there were some out- standing juniors and sopho- mores who gained exper- ience to be future team leaders. 160 FRUSTRATION, ANGER, AND EXCITEMENT are all seen on the face of Coach Larry Swanson.

Sports Varsity Cheerleading 165 Freshness and Vitality Freshness and vitality ... these words are the best de- scription of a sophomore cheerleader. Although the sophomores may have lacked the sureness of movement and experience of the varsity squad, they had the advantage of enthusiasm and newness. All sophomore cheer- leaders agreed that their ef- forts to represent Central in athletic events were very re- warding. Jenny Scott com- mented, We all became closer friends and we learned to work together. Lisa Ohlwieler added, Cheerleading presented a chance to show school spirit and to bring out the spirit in others. At times, the attendence at sophomore games was disappointing; yet the cheerleaders never failed to give it all they had. As Linda Waggoner said, Cheer- leaders get the crowd going and motivate school spirit. Cheerleaders are the key to support. Yet at the same time, others believed that some sports would not be af- fected by the loss of cheer- leaders. Mark Grafton felt, Sports could probably do just as well without cheer- leaders, but they also add some color to the game. Although cheerleading came with its share of hassles it also opened the door to a lot of opportunities. One good thing about cheerlead- ing is the chance it provided to get to know people and to become more involved with the school, said Lisa Allard. Yet there were also disad- vantages to being a cheer- leader. Debbie Ratcliff felt, Cheerleading cuts out on the time you spend with other friends, and you lose out on time to do home- work. Through the misunder- standings and difficulties there were also a few unfor- gettable moments for the cheerleaders. For instance, one cheerleader recalled doing a first and ten cheer for the wrong team, and there were always the cheers and mounts that never seemed to go right. None of them will ever forget the ex- perience as a sophomore cheerleader. SOPHOMORE CHEERLEADERS lin up to cheer the football team onto vie lory at John O'Donnell Stadium Photo by M.

Although not to familiar to the majority of the student body, this place is used for a sport found outside of school. There is also the YMCA, various bowling lanes, the Armory on Brady Street, and Sundown Ski resort in Du- buque, Iowa. All of these not so familiar sites accomodate a number of people who don't go out for such major sports as foot- ball or basketball. As soon as school gets out, a group of 10 to 12 students head down to Credit Island Lagoon, where they hope to get in a few hours of playing hockey. It is a sport that's differ- ent, explains Todd Reed of his interest in hockey. It is more exciting than just skat- ing around in circles. But hockey is not the only sport found outside the school. Boxing holds the in- terest of many students and racquetball can be enjoyed at the YMCA. There is also bowling, and the Davenport area has plen- ty of lanes to accomodate the enthused bowler. When not at school in the winter, there are a large number of students who travel to Dubuque to spend a day or two at Sundown. So if none of the sports at Central sound appealing, you can always go outside of school to find a game that suits your needs. There is al- ways biking, jogging, roller- skating, motor-cross, sailing, skate-boarding ...

Helping The Injured Responsibility and dedica- tion are two of the qualifica- tions a student trainer must have. Our main job is to help rehabilitate the in- jured, said Cindy Stebens, a trainer for three years. Jobs the student trainers did in- cluded wrapping sprains, taping blisters, icing, and working with the whirlpool. They only worked with mi- nor ills, but if a bone was broken, head trainer Joe Schambow would put it in an air splint and rush the athlete to the hospital. Not just anyone can be a student trainer; certain qua- lities are needed. Just as an athlete needs good grades to participate, so must the stu- dent trainer. The majority of the student trainers said they did it because it was chal- lenging, interesting, and good experience for the fu- ture. Training plays an impor- tant role in sports. Trainers take a lot of pressure off of the coaches, so they can spend more time on the game. Ann West, head girls' swimming coach, said, At times it is very handy for me to take injured athleted up there and not have to wor- ry. They also act as a man- ager, taking care of jerseys, towels, water, and errands for the coach. These student trainers work practically unnoticed by most of the student body, except by the athletes they helped. Joe Schambow con- cluded of his student train- ers, The trainers are my ex- tra hands that work behind the scenes to help make Blue Devil Athletic teams as healthy as possible. 170 DURING THE EXCITEMENT of a wrestling match, head trainer Joe Schambow tends the cut eye of Bri- an Hampton.

Pride Determination Keys to academic life After a weekend break of resting and carefree living, the tired, but willing students re- turned to their academic way of life. Throughout the week, they were confronted with the Issues of Education. The faculty also returned to a hectic, but rewarding five days, playing Musical Chairs with the absence of James An- drews and Orville Kahler. The students also showed their dif- ferent skills as some attended Gifted and Talented, while others attended School With- in a School. During the long nine months, college-bound stu- dents were kept busy with testing and visitations from universities and colleges. What keeps the Central stu- dent body going? Pride. The Blue Devils have a certain pride in their actions and words. They enjoy the uniqueness of what Central has to offer: great teachers, a variety of students, and a sev- enty-seven year old building that's still holding its own. ELECTION CAMPAIGNS in the Quad-Cities gave students a chance to hear all types of candi- dates. Rosalind Carter campaigns for husband Jimmy at the Rock Island Courthouse in Sep- tember. Photo by S.

At issue Changes In School Board Administration Planning and deciding on a course of action is the function of the school board. The board confronted the issues, worked them out and act- ed on them. There is a possibility in the future that we will be seeing new Home Economics and Industrial Arts buildings along with a playing field, tennis courts, and possibly a swim- ming pool, where the teacher's parking lot is now. Along with these are the changes which have already occured; including the renovation of the bathrooms and the auditorium, the painting of different parts of the school, and a newly built lab. The community showed an active interest by voting in three new members: Emmet Dohse, AI Spindler, and Mary Williams. The Board meets on the second Monday of each month, and is responsible for administering the Davenport schools. Laura Steinke, Central's Re- presentative to the school board, feels that, Students shouldn't be afraid to go to the board if they have a problem or issue which cannot be helped by a counselor or principal. Hectic was the one word which could have been described this year's administrative personel prob- lems. Mr. Kahler had a heait attack; Mr. Brown substituted for Mr. Kahler; Mr. Caudle became Activi- ties Director. When Mr. Andrews accepted the Principal's job at J.B. Young; Mr. Caudle took over Mr. Andrews' job; Mr. Fox replaced Mr. Caudle who was replacing Mr. Brown. But the above confusion did not keep the school from function- ing in the usual professional manner. SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS: Front row: Mrs. Mary Williams; Mrs. Betty Dexter; Mrs. Marge Barnes, see'y.

Issues School Board 177 At issue A Time of Change Changes and additions adopted by both students and advisors characterized the Gifted and Tal- ented program. Students in both the junior and senior classes ex- pressed dissatisfaction with the way the G T program was set up. The senior class, being the first class to have gone through the full three year program, was not to be taken lightly, and, to draw atten- tion to their views, some of them participated in a partial boycott and late-in during October. They then composed a list of sev- eral questions they wanted con- sidered, some posed were: Why is there so little individual work? How are members chosen? What can be done about the letter in the students file if he chooses to leave the program? Why must the student stay in one area during his entire three years in the program? Although the entire school year was spent in reevaluating the pro- gram, the second semester saw some issues agreed on: a greater variety of classroom activities, such as webbing technique, study of current events, interest analyz- er for students, student learning style inventory, and short high in- terest written reports; a change in student grading, including 'A credit computed in GPA, S credit not computed in GPA, or H for withdrawn, a greater teacher, counselor, and adminis- trator awareness of students ac- tive in the program; a greater stu- dent voice in evaluating the pro- gram; a greater flexibility in pro- gramming because of student evaluation and teacher discretion; and a greater opportunity for gift- CIFTED AND TALENTED: Front row: Melissa Smith, Julie Holeldt, Lisa Burger, Maria Matthews, Ben Paulos, Rom Ro- sario, Jim Beightol, Karey Kelly, Lonora Swanson; 2nd row: Mike DePauw, Sheila Kruse, Beth Lotspeich, Jane Bieber, Mar- garet Gaffney, Lori Ekstrand, Melissa Ber- ry, Carla Sturdevant, Mike Chang, Ross Wilburn, Steve Evans; 3rd row: Richard Christensen, Vanessa Griffith, Doug Wood, Phil Cole, Fred Gehrmann, Linda Waggoner, Andrea Paulos, Lynn Smit, Dee McDonald, 4th row: Gail Stevens, Rodney Christianson, Dave Rohlf, Brent Rogers, Lee Haumersen, Steve Lierly, Greg Sauer, Ron Pash, Joe Rodman, Dan Conway, John Higgins, Craig Congdon, Joy Maher, Brandon Eagler, Mike Hig- gins, Elizabeth Miller; Back row: Zac Miller, Tom Schmidt, Joe Ehlers, Rich Irey, Dan Tucker.

Beside the Wednesday morning meetings at 7:00 a.m. there were two parties, a Halloween party and a Christmas party. Both were held in the cafeteria and included food and games. The Christmas party also sponsored an interna- tional dinner in the cafeteria topped off with caroling for the sick and injured at St. Lukes Hos- pital. There was a guarded optimism with the new changes brought about. Many people felt that the more individual emphasis placed on the program would benefit all who were associated with it. EVERYONE was kept busy during the Gifted and Talented program's Christmas party, as Rom Rosario, Mike DePauw and john Higgins work on holiday banners. Photo by C.

Not just the ordinary things like telephones ringing, the noise of traffic (inside and out), or screams when someone breaks a favorite Mickey Mouse pencil, but those out-of-the-ordinary, it-could- only-happen-at-Central occur- ences. Lots of favorites come to mind. There was the time in Mr. Stahl's class when a lot of yelling outside caused the entire class to run to the window, leaving the teacher mid-lecture. When we finally got a view from the crowded window, we saw a bunch of guys running around in sheets; our neighbor- hood fraternity was having a toga party. Sometimes the most annoying interruptions were very common. While sitting in American Gov- ernment finishing an assignment on a warm day, a buzzing sound was heard and a bee landed on a student writer's hand, while the whole class went into hysterics. Or, as we sat sweating in our ge- ometry class because the heaters were going full blast due to freez- ing weather, someone threw open the window and a snowball came flying into the room. In a school like ours though, coping with class interruptions was part of the curriculum. After the first semester or so we got so used to it that we could continue what we were doing without even batting an eye.

This course is designed to allow the student to pursue sn ores of study not available in our standard offerings. Before registering for the course, the student aust secure a faculty advisor who is convinced of the student's abil- ity to carry out independent study and vbo is willing to supervise the student's program. A proposed plan of study should be submitted to the instructor before registration. That plan should be approved by instructor, departnent chalraan, and principal. Independent study does not aect as a regularly scheduled class. Conferences will be arranged between teacher and student as needed. You're bored. School's just the usual day-to-day doldrums with no real challenge. Let's face it; you've got almost enough credits to graduate, but you don't want to quite yet. So, what do you do? Well, does Thoreau's philos- ophy intrigue you? Have you ever wondered how old that dirt is in your geranium pot? Maybe you've been dying to try a new creation all of your own combin- ing metals and woodworking, but haven't known how to go about it. If the satisfaction of digging up facts and trivia isn't enough, the satisfaction of going to college part time and receiving credit hours might be. Independent Study is available in all departments. The option to get together with a teacher to dis- cuss research and ideas is one that many students don't realize is available to them. It is a one or two semester course that is worth a half credit per semester. How- ever, it is a special, extra study that can't be taken in place of the reg- ular curriculum. But this isn't a class either. Meetings are set up once or twice per week with a teacher or advisor. Directed Independent Study in Science (DRSS) had the greatest number of students. The twenty- five members included the APP classes. They worked in the lab analyzing soil, turning milkweed pods to fuel, and studying the emission controls on cars. It's hard, but I can use it as a college credit and background informa- tion, said Richard Irey. It's nev- er dull thought. The combining of courses hap- pens occasionally to create a form of Independent Study. Donald McGee, counselor, felt that more students should look into it. It can be to the student's ad- vantage because often, classroom time isn't used to its full poten- tial. Part time college life was also taken advantage of. It's good to have a head start, explained Joe Ceurvorst. Joe took a freshman English class and Calculus 1 at St. Ambrose College during first se- mester. College life isn't for just anyone. I'd recommend it to anyone, but you have to be ready for the responsibility, he advised. Going to college part time is also a cheap way to get credit. It is only half the price of a full time student's cost. I'd like to see more kids take the college courses, said Tom Buis. It's a lack of imagination on the stu- dent's part — they're afraid to bust out of the structured cur- riculum. Bored? Get out of the usual classroom. Explore on your own the things you want to know. Break away from routine and ex- periment. ENGLISH BOOKS and a slack of note- cards fill Joe Ceurvorst's desk at St. Am- brose during his freshman English class. Photo by L. Kozich, Issues lndependent Study 183 At issue A Second Chance School Within a School (SWS) is a place where students who have had problems with regular classes can get the extra motivation and individualized attention they need. According to teacher Sam Kresse the two things that made SWS really work were a positive program and good students. SWS was divided into two areas, one for students who had had at- tendance problems and the other for students in special education. The two combined sections in- volved thirty-five students and four teachers. Students in both areas could earn credits in three different academic areas. Partici- pation in the attendance phase was voluntary while the special education section was usually a continuance of special education classes. Classes were held daily from 8- 11 a.m. Math, Social Studies, Eng- lish, and Science were all taught at various times. In the afternoon, students took other classes or could work with their instructors individually. The students in SWS were in- volved with a number of activities such as their extensive coverage of the '80 election, producing TIMES PHOTOGRAPHER MARSHALL HOOD speaks to students in SWS about journalism and newspapers.

The three hour time span kept the thought of skipping from stu- dent because the student was there and he or she began to ap- preciate their classmates and teachers. Head counselor Tom Buis feels SWS works with the majority of students it has involved with it. When the students' perfor- mance in school becomes better, their attitude becomes better also.

Do you know you ran a yellow light back there? Everyone who has passed, or even failed Driver's education knows these words to be all too familiar. The majority are sophomores who have enough trouble fastening a seat belt, without having to worry about driving a four-speed. In the last year, the Driver's Education department at Central has seen a number of changes due to the energy crisis. Students have found them- selves cramming their willing bo- dies into smaller, more economi- cal cars ranging from the sporty Datsun 510 to the gas-saving Chevy Chevette. They also have witnessed the cancellation of the Driving Range; another defeat to the gas pump. Now students won't have the chance to practice their ability to back over a curb or run into a cone. “The students spend six hours behind the wheel, explained De- partment Head Larry Mark. Of these six hours, half is spent on the actual street. The rest of the time, the student is in class or in the simulator. After one experience in the simulator a thought passes through the student's mind, What the heck is this for? to which Mark answered, It gives them a visual gain . .. more than experienced behind the wheel, where hardly anything different happens. To compensate for the energy crisis Mark listed a set of reduc- tions now imposed on students in class due to the cancellation of the range and the cutting back on trips to the highways and inter- states.

Good jobs were available for graduates with a high school diploma, but for many people, college was the key to open the door to a more worthwhile fu- ture. Making plans for college be- gan in high school: taking college bound classes, trying to keep a high grade-point average, and spending hours taking PSAT, SAT, and ACT tests. Deciding which school to go to was a decision of major impor- tance. Every student is different: they have different reasons for choosing a certain college, said head counselor Tom Buis. The reasons may include the classes offered, the cost, and the distance from home. All of these and many other factors should be taken into consideration. Much of this infor- mation could be found in pam- phlets and catalogues that the col- leges distribute, but sometimes it was more helpful to talk to a col- lege representative. Students had an excellent opportunity for this at College Day at Northpark, where people from over 80 col- leges were present to give infor- mation and answer questions. Also, representatives from schools all over the country came to speak to students regularly. Although it was not possible in all cases, it was a valuable exper- ience to visit a prospective col- lege. By visiting the campus, the student could get a better view of the life there, find out what the teachers and classes were like, and see the campus firsthand. Mr. Buis believes It dispels any image that the student may have. By far the most important thing is for each person to find the college which is best for their needs; one that will help them to open the door to a better future.

We are a learning fa- cility and it is who we are- faculty and student body- that makes learning here a unigue exper- ience. Behind the tradition of the building we are a deteriorating, out dated school. In spite of ren- ovation, we continue to watch room temperature soar and plunge and plaster fall off the walls. Yet still we continue to learn. We are also an inner city school, coping with inner city problems and the fishbowl exis- tence we enjoy due to careul scrutiny by the local press. It is then the student body and faculty, not the brick and mortor, which make our education unique. States teacher Barb Hess; I give credit to the student body for the ability to work and cope with the inadequacies of the building: rooms are small, noisy outside traffic and either hot or cold rooms. You've got to be able to do it better, this stop-cap-crap renovation won't do! Adds Di- rector of Social Studies Ted Cur- tis; The age of a building doesn't add to it's uniqueness. To the teachers here we owe a great deal of thanks for it is evi- dent that they are here to TEACH, and not because of the facility. The course selection has changed according to alumni and teacher Ann West. When I was in high school, ten years ago, there was no choice in classes! Today we have the chance and ability to challenge ourselves both aca- demically and athletically with a wide variety of courses, clubs and sports to wet one's interests. Along with the change in cur- riculum so has there been a change in the student body. Com- ments Hess; Today's student is definitely much nicer to look at then the student of ten years ago and is much more willing to ac- cept the responsibilites of school work than five years ago. Still another uniqueness of learning here is our extracurricu- lar programs. Adds Principal Don Fisher; I feel our program is just as important as classroom time. He believes they are, very sup- portive of the classroom academ- ics, more of a classroom enrich- ment program. Today we have extracurricular programs such as drama club, language clubs to ex- tend knowlegde here and abroad, Newspaper and Yearbook publi- cations to extend classroom jour- nalism and Debate team for public speaking students. We are also an inner city school. Here, just socializing in class is an everyday learning experience. We have a Heterogeneous stu- dent body which should enable us to draw from lot of backrounds. states Curtis. Thus it is the differ- ent social classes, races and colors which make education here unique. Explains seven year alum- ni Greg Kautz; I think the cross section of people at Central gives you more exposure and prepares you for the real world. You get to know different people by dealing with them on a day by day basis. Adds West; You're exposed to EVERYTHING here so nothing is going to be a shock when you move into the real world. Our uniqueness in education lies in who we are: a mixture of colors, classes and backrounds brought together for one unique experience ... an education!
