Getting across a mood of what’s really happened here In the past, and now Is a tough task, but why not try. There’s something special about this place that captures everybody In some way, shape, or form, sort of a spell. What is it? Too tell the truth. It’s hard to say. Some say it’s the people who make this place happen. They’re right because without our melting pot cross section generation, we’re just another school. Observe, there’s the student who takes life day by day, the teenage mother who goes to school and comes home to a child, the study conscious bookworm blueprinting a career, the financially strapped Individual getting his education through the military, the Industrial student struggling to get through so he can learn a trade. These molded personalities just scratch the surface, since there’s over 1500 of us, and we convey our message down to the last expression. What about the building and campus, are they a part of the happening? Defl nltelyl Take a good look, mellow out, and say. “Hey, that really Is a warm place, an old friend.” CHS is captivat ing, but actually Indescribable, and the best definition Is found In ourselves. Whatever the emotion. It’s a fact that good ole stand by CHS is a second home thoroughfare to bigger and bet- ter happenings. Though we’ll all some- day part, and break-in new lives, we can credit our growing up to one solid starting block-CHS. Join the ’83 student body, have a look at our happenings and take note of the nostalgic picture insets of past hap- penings on the divlson pages. They too are a piece of CHS deserving of a spot. We’re pretty unique characters caught up in an equally exceptional building. You know, everyone should feel that way about this place. 3:10 SIGNALS an end to echool which eplaehee a man of atudenta from the building who bound to Jobe, home, or ex- tra curricular actlvltlee.

No more lounging at the pool or in front of favorite soaps, week nights at the library Instead of partying at the park. Our tans began to fade as a new school year came into focus. Seniors took over the book return and curiously glanced at the sopho- mores, often mocking them as if the signs hung in every hall were not enough. As the junior and senior guys attempted to Impress unsu- specting sophomore girls, the fe- males spoke only of the ‘cute’ P.E. student teacher, Dennis Schmidt. Winding staircases twisted with red and blue, spirit stirred students speculating on the winning football season. “Central is a place of tradi- tion and outstanding achieve- ments,” commented junior Tim Al- drich. “It is a school where students with similar Interests can be In- volved academically, athletically and socially.” Another year . . . another class . . . the five minute bell sounded leav- ing only a few minutes before the start of first period. Sophomores rushed to class, only too aware of the strict rules regarding tardiness. Juniors returned feeling a bit more confident. And the senior guys made their way to class a bit late (one couldn’t help noticing their slow distinctive swagger). With summer behind us, a new year began. It brought with It good times and expectations, but most of all a feeling of unity. We were the Cen- tral High School student body and together we could make anything happen. FOR MANY SOPHOMORES the first day of high school can be very challenging, but sophomores Troy Sanders and Paul Selrra were not prepared for a newly painted locker, (photo by: T.

Think of Brady St. Stadium, although It’s too much to grasp In one picture, especial- ly when theres a football game hap- pening. and a state championship floats In our heads. Fans, cheer- leaders. players, and field, all activat- ing in different areas but working as one. Central vs. West, the spirit burst of the season. “Fork the Falcons wafted from second floor, along with “Walk all over the Falcons on the balcony, during the outdoor pep aud. Quiet fringes but a vibrant nucleus heaved “Devil Power anxiously. Later, the feeling grew, the nucleus expanded. Bleachers were unnecessary because we were “up” physically and mentally. A 7-7 score at the half chiseled a gut nervousness swiftly concealed with wails for the blasting refrain of “Geor- gia. Allumni rekindled the spirit fire, and a sprint to victory exhaled more electrical power In the stands. Our school character was reflected primarily through rallying spirit at football games because of the pro- spective championship. But do we need such excitement to show spirit? What If the team was a loser? There’s loads of spirit around not even per- taining to sports. Spirit Isn’t always at face value. Re- calling games gone by when peering at the trophies in the main lobby. A quick “hello” or pitstops with friends before class. Walking through the hallways alone observing what is missed during the five minute rush. Even reaching the warm main building on a brisk day. Subtle spirit breathes In each, a spirit for self and school. The point is, spirit Isn’t always victori- ous teams and overpowering crowds. It’s a feeling that’s sometimes hard to see but always there even after the last stray wisps of pom-poms are swept away. 6 OCT 1 PEP AUD partak- er like Tyrae Townzel (ocuacd on cheerleader , pep band, and cla offi- cer on the balcony.

In a colorful field adorned with posters depicting the fall of the Clinton River Kings, Blue Devils screamed words of encour- agement to their classmates partici- pating In the sac race, tug-a-war, and egg toss. As the fire dwindled down to the last coal, the students departed in anticipation of the an- nouncement of the queen the fol- lowing day. The royal day arrived, and after the court of Stacy Crouch, Debbie Rat- cliff, Mary Williams, and Lisa Ohl- weller was escorted through the majestic tunnel formed by the flag corps, a teary-eyed queen was crowned. “I was honored to be cho- sen to be a candidate and surprised to be part of the court,” explained Mimi Tyler in front of a standing audience, “but becoming queen was not something I expected!” But, be- fore anyone was content the dilem- ma facing Alex (Charles Johnson), who had five unwanted dates for homecoming, had to be resolved. Following a series of meetings with a Little Rabbit, a Big Rabbit, Twee- dle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber, a Catlpillar, the King of Hearts, a Cheshire Cat, and the Wiz, Alex was relieved of his five dates. That evening the state-bound Blue Devils conquered the Clinton River Kings 58 - 15, in a chilly stadium filled with enthusiastic fans. With only the dance remaining as the climax to our fantasy, estatic couples filled a glittering gym. Tick- ets were punched, pictures were taken, and arm-in-arm happy cou- ples danced away our wonderland.

It certainly Isn’t your typical Ice cream and cake bit any morel Our favorite pin the tall on the donkey games have been shoved to the back of our closets and our Mickey Mouse sleeping bags rolled up and passed down to little brothers and sisters. In- stead. Rudy’s chips and cheese replace the cake and Ice cream, and quar- ters has become the fa- vorite game played at parties. They Just “ain’t ___________________________ what they used to be,” said Steve Osborn. Parties are not only for special occasions any- more, but often spur of the moment, every week- end occurences. Each Fri- day the word goes through the student net- work revealing the party spots. Whether It be someone’s backyard. Jam-packed basement, or the “aquarium house,” by 8:00 p.m. Friday night, the party has started and been discovered by Just about everyone. Parties give us a time to unwind from our strenu- ous week of activities; “a time to kick up our heels or Just take It easy,” ex- plained Julie Smith. They give us the opportunity to catch up on the gossip and maybe even meet that special guy or gal we’ve had our eye on at school. Although they might not seem as Impor- tant as homecoming. Spree, and Prom, we will never forget the priceless memories of those Friday and Saturday nights. Sit back and let the good times roll!

Mer- chandisers are now mar- keting New Wave rock clubs. New Wave fine art. New Wave clothing, and of course New Wave re- cords. From albums such as the Ramones, Flock of Seagulls, the B-52’s, and Adam and the Ants, stu- dents got Interested in the strange habits and outlandish clothes of the band members. “I heard the B-52’s before the end of school last year for the first time and really liked their style,” replied Ra- chael Rovine. Sometimes the music changes a listeners mood. “Once after listen- ing to the Sex Pistols, I found myself very angry,” commented Rachael. Many people do not ac- cept New Wave, the pure pop rock of the 80’s. “People are set in their ways; they are afraid to be different,” explained Jill VanFossen. New Wave is an art. Its individualality and cre- ativity is reflected differ- ently from person to per- son. It Is a new expres- sion. significant to the 80s. 17 SKIING ENTHUSIAST Noel Coltvet looks over this year's ski line. Photo by D. Ashton.

Kruse. r THE SIGNATURE EDITION The 80’s. The era of the status symbol. For some it means paying an extra ten dollars for the label on a shirt while for others the label on a shirt means nothing. In their opinion, those ten dollars can be spent much more wisely. For the student who is status-conscious, howev- er, the shirt to have this year is the Polo by Ralph Lauren, at 36 dollars. This is complemented by a nice pair of Nikes which complete the attire for a casual day. On the more formal occasions perhaps a button- down oxford, a turtleneck, and a crew- neck sweater best por- tray the layered look. Some students tend to overemphasize this look and depend upon it for their Identity. “Some people like to dress nice- ly while others are always wearing status symbols just to show off,” philoso- phized Lisa Berger. For the student who is preoccupied with social status, he should spend his summer months in Michigan or North Caroli- na. The winter vacation can be split between ski- ing at Vail and catching rays in Florida for the im- portant golden tan. Clos- er to home, you’ll find the status-conscious student hitting the slopes at Du- buqes massive Sundown Ski Resort and getting his tan at Davenport’s beau- tiful, near tropical. West Lake. The status-con- scious student usually has the latest fashions to hit the slopes which be- comes very expensive. Tim Kludy speculates, “They do basically the same thing everybody else does except they do it more expensively”. The status symbol is definitely going to be with us through the 80’s. Status symbols could possibly be a constant in a society like ours. Those who dislike them are go- ing to have live with them and those who love them should realize that they are going to have to lay out more and more bucks for the privilege of having the status symbol.

They were Mr. Holladay’s creations, via poster form, promoting Spree. The cartoons cre- ated attention, and got the girl-ask- boy dance, off with a flare. First of all, the “tradition- al” aud held it’s share of surprises. When the candi- dates were introduced, a shocked laughter rang through the air. as Rick Patterson came out in a tuxedo, tails and all. Still another surprise was when the skit had to be can- celed, due to adverse weather conditions. In- stead, the band played a few numbers from the vari- ety show. Four days before, a decora- tions meeting was held at the house of Betsy Chal- lad, decorations chairman, and plans were put to work. Streamers draped from every angle of the gym, were connected in the middle, to form a kalei- doscope of red, pink, and white. Matching hearts were placed around the gymnasium and lobby, along with 500 helium bal- loons. It took about six hours of hard work, but the gym was finally complete, with the added help of Lin- da Burmeister, general stu- dent chairman. That night, all different kinds of arrangements were put into action. Some couples planned progres- sive dinners, others ate at restaurants, and some girls decided that eating at home would be nice. Soon, people were dancing to the music of Chance. After the dance, students went to parties, dinners, or what- ever struck their fancy. Some time during the evening, girls managed to whisper those magic words, “Say You’ll be Mine.” But what about those girls that decided to do some- thing else? “My male com- panion and I would like to be alone, instead of being in a crowd of people.” ex- plained May Hall. Other reasons were; no time, couldn’t find the right guy, or some didn’t think it would be fun anyway. Overall, Mary Beat, advi- sor for Spree commented, “We had twelve really good representatives of the student body. Unfortu- nately the weather played havoc with our schedule, we had to work around it.” Most students agreed that although the band was lacking, the dance was as good as any other dance. 450 PEOPLE throng the dance floor.

Students performed well known classics of famous stars. Doug Stef fenson, adorned in a black tie and tails, performed his role as the master of cere- monies, cracking his script of off-beat jokes. The Acappella choir opened the show with a medley, “Gershwin and Porter on Love”. Band members par- ticipating in the trumpet, trombone, tuba, french horn, and percussion lines wore everything from cat tails to jean-jackets and sunglasses. The Central Singers kept the show moving with their assort- ment of well choreo- graphed song and dance routines. Solo acts included Jim Col- lins singing Lionel Richie’s Truly,” Memory” taken from the musical “Cats” and sung by Toi Anderson, as well as Chicago’s Hard to Say I’m Sorry” sung by Beth Nuetzmann. The Innocents, Central’s own rock band not dressed the part but created the re- action of a professional band. I was really Im- pressed by the Innocents, especially since it was their own material. While the band played I felt as if I was witnessing a begin- ning of a future super group.” stated Greg Rohlf. The orchestra’s part in the show was terriffic. Mr. Ab- planalp wrote and ar- ranged all of the orches- tra’s music to back up the solo acts. I believe the or- chestra made a big differ- ence In the show this year. Mr. A. was a great asset,” commented Junior, Yvonne Vikdal. So with one final salute to the greats the members of the 1983 Variety Show ad- ded their names to the list. WITH A GLOW IN HIS EYES.

Bits and pieces of colored glass reflecting light, blending together and sifting apart, melt Into a sequence that Is never re- peated. Almost every- body has seen a kaleido- scope, fasinated by the variety and complexity of the world Inside the card- board cylinder. Here we have found our own kalei- doscope where aged, brown stone walls re- place a cardboard cylin- der and pieces of glass become a cross-section of people. Unfortunately, the image in a kaleidoscope can only be seen from one an- gle. Central Is often one- sided; people who see an Inner-city school with all the supposed disadvan- tages. Maybe if these people took a closer look at our kaleidoscope of people they would dis- cover that it is this piece of the real world that makes us unique. We are a cross-section of people, reflecting life, working together yet re- taining our Individuality, setting ourselves apart from all the rest. We have a collection of people that range from the out- standing musicians like Brandon Engler to award- winning artist James Scott; from recognized athletes such as Booker Scott to Anita Horsch. Most of all. though, we are the people who strug- gle through Beowolf in Mr. Mlnard’s Brit Lit class, battled with the librar- ians for a minute to so- cialize between chemis- try equations, and made frenzied runs to Omer’s. We began to excel In a way that depicted a se- quence of distinct per- sonalities. Each person an important part of the pattern that made us a unique and diversified student body.

Kruse 28 FALCONS’ TO-KNIGHT’ THE DEVILS DOG’ THE As the two football teams ran on to the field and the fans let out a roar, a per son could tell Immediate- ly that this was not a nor- mal game. Central was about to take on cross- town rival West in a game where emotions run high and tempers flare. The ri- valry goes further than the playing field as op- posing fans try to out cheer each other. Andy Hampe commented, “High school rivalries make sports interesting to the fans and they in- crease the performances of the players.” Sports are not the only area in which rivalries are found, however. For ex- ample, the competition among the local high school marching bands is very intense and occa- sionally insults are ex- changed. The same level of competition is also found in Show Choir and Debate state contests. While these rivalries do have their negative ef- fects, such as the insults, more often than not the strong competition im- proves performance and instills a mutual respect. Rivalries often extend beyond school-related functions. In their never- ending search for parties on weekends, high school students occasionally find parties being held by a student going to an- other school. Usually this constitutes no problem but sometimes students are told to leave If they don’t attend a certain school. Unfortunately, ri- valries can lead to fights and vandalism. Mike Shetler stated, “I think ri- valries are a healthy thing for a school unless they begin to get out of hand.” Many students who go on to college will also experience rivalries particularly between Iowa and Iowa State. The good effects that rival- ries have on students outweigh the bad ones. Rivalries are a way to get students pumped for an upcoming contest wheth- er it be football, tennis, debate or show choir. They also help students to take pride in their school, which is a prob- lem here at Central, as the school often puts up with a lot of bad jokes and put downs. As long as rivalries do not become malicious, they are a vital part of high school com- petition. THE RED AND WHITE died that night when the Blue Devils stomped the Fakons 21-14. Photo by T. Edens.

The death of John Len- non ended an era, a president was shot, and Sadat was killed. While re- ality was happening, what was hap- pening to us? We tasted what was left of Student Affairs as sophomores. We were the last to experience an hour lunch peri- od. Total class spirit was missing at pep auds when we were sophomores and Juniors. Maybe we thought we were just too mature” to cheer. But something happened in the transi- tion. as Seniors, we got it all together even if it took a challenge cheer to do It. We latched on to the winning football team as the symbol of our power. Our class load changed, whether we took off at noon and headed for Jobs, or stayed for Humanities. We realized, Hey, it’s confusing out there!” We can best be described as individ- ual conformists because we do our own thing but still follow each other. Whatever 1983 throws at us, at least it has given us our only chance to chant, Senior Power!” Brian Bane Tom Barker Chrla Barnard Jill Barrett Annette Barry CONNIE ACKERLAND: Devils Diary 12.

Beth Nuetzmann addresses the class of '83. Photo: T. Edens A small but significant part of the cross-section at CHS makes herself known through various activities. As a member of show choir, Acapella, and the all-state chorus, senior class president Beth Nuetzmann finds her time easily spent. Being class president is a big respon- sibility. but one Beth feels she can handle well. I ran for president be- cause I felt that I had good goals and ideas for my class, and I was enthusi- astic about getting them done,” com- mented the senior. But enthusiasm is not the only qual- ity that Beth brings to the student body, she is an accomplished singer as well; appearing in musicals and va- riety shows for the past six years. ”1 think singing in general is my favor- ite activity,” began Beth, “I’ve al- ways enjoyed it. and I’ve always had good directors.” Preliminary plans for Beth are going to school In Missouri and she yields this advice, “Be able to make your own decisions, be an individual.” Jeff Cook Scott Cook Marshall Cotton Lori Couchman Brad Cox JAMES COLLINS: A Capella 11.

Photo: Todd Kruse WHO? DAVID! David the writer, David the student, and David the human being. David Ketelaar, editor-in-chief of the Blackhawk news- paper, sits at an uncluttered desk, qui- etly going about his work, never upset or in a rage. Subtlety, yet firmly getting across his point, while gaining respect. “I would like this year’s paper to be unique and appealing to all students.” stresses David. He is Independent al- though he realizes that help is there and David is not afraid to reach out when a problem arises. Problems do arise but this has not stopped David from participating in cross country, track, and maintaining straight “A’s.” David feels that his In- terest lies In science and he hopes to major in a field of Biology at either Drake University or University of Iowa. Living for himself, he relaxes by party- ing or playing football with friends. Be- ing who he is and what he wants to be allows David Ketelaar to stand on his own two feet.

Photo: R. Chrlstesen CAPTAIN Q-TIP Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive . . . Super- man? No, but close . . . Marshall Cotton, a standout not only as a running back, but also as an athlete. Competing in football, basketball, and track, Marshall experiences a feeling many other ath- letes do not. “When I'm out on the field, I know that if I can get loose, no one will catch me.” As a co-captain of the state ranked football team. Cotton feels that being a leader and helping others are among his responsibilities. However, he does not feel his leadership alone has made a significant impression on the players. “We are all very supportive of each oth- er. We offer advice and are all leaders,” he says. Marshall concluded, “I don’t want to be remembered as Marshall Cotton the football player, but as that guy who cares very much for CHS and its student body.” John Frcklng Tania Frlelds Phillip Fuller David Gabel Steve Gahagan TAMMY FIELDER: French Club 10.11.

Photo: T. Kruse. NIBS STRIKES AGAIN Respect is all one can have for Sarah Schmidt, who in three years has made her mark as a sophomore cheerleader, a varsity letter winner in both competi- tive and synchronized swimming, gym- nastics, and cross country. As captain of girls swimming teams. Sarah feels that the challenge of athletics makes setting goals much easier. Creating goals and striving to reach them can produce re- sponsibility and satisfaction, she com- mented. Motivated by her own conscious Sarah settles for nothing short of the best where academics is concerned. The education you receive in high school is the back-bone of the future, explained Sarah. Although she will miss the spirit and friendliness of high school. Sarah is looking towards the future. Central has provided me with the experience of different types of personalities which will help me deal with the outside world.

I got Involved in student council to find out other students feelings on issues,” said Jim. He is also able to express his ideas and be creative through student council.

Photo: T. Eden Cheerleading for three years, running since sixth grade, it's no wonder that Peggy Platter hopes to open a health spa someday. “For the red! For the blue!” This fa- miliar cheer is one of many that Peg- gy has lead sports fans with for the past three years. Beginning with her sophomore year, Peggy has been rooting on teams through all kinds of weather. However, her sport interests don’t end there. “1 like competing. In track there is a constant desire to better my time.” states Peggy. Apparently the desire to do better payed off, for Peggy was a member of the team that went to state last year and has high hopes of going again this year. Outside of track, Peggy says that Cross Country is “hard because 1 usu- ally like to run long distances at my own pace.” After school Peggy currently works at where else but Eby’s Sporting Goods Store. She feels that working in high school has given her a sense of Independence and good exper- ience.

BOOKIN’ IT Piling up nearly 1000 yards, running back Booker Scott demands only one thing of his team mates: respect. “Re- specting your peers on and off the field is very important, commented Scott, who is co-captain of Central’s state- ranked football team. Citing not only his parents and coaches as his source of support, Booker re- marked. “When I’m running towards the endzone, the fans and my team mates are what’s pushing me.” Nervousness is a characteristic which Booker faces not only on the football field, but on the track as a member of the boy's track team. “Once a game or race has started, I try to give 100 per- cent and the butterflies I felt before seem to go away.” he said. With college at the University of Iowa or possibly UCLA In his future. Booker explained, “Life can be rough, but with a little hard work and effort, it can be a success.” Tacle Ryan Sylvlz Sanchez Dclorls Sanders Dianne Sandera Jeannette Sandera GRANT RIETZ: Drama Club 10.11.

When It’s over you wish It would start again so you could see what you missed.” That’s how Brandon Engler describes the marching band’s half-time show. Classical Is his preferred type of mu- sic for both playing and listening. “I’m more Into classical- I’m more familiar with It,” states Brandon, who plays his classical on the clari- net. He is also a master of the saxo- phone. on which he plays Jazz. “My Jazz background compliments my classical playing.” Brandon would like to pursue a music major In college.

Photo by B. Paulos. Like a painter who transfers what he sees onto a canvas, Anthony Collins takes what he hears and plays It on a piano. He can’t read music but explains, “1 know all the notes, though.” Like the painter mixes colors, Anthony mixes chords, melodies, and rhythm, always with a pleasing result. Anthony likes to listen to soul and jazz, and expresses a definite preference for jazz composers. “The man I most ad- mire is Count Basie.” He also likes to listen to classical music, like that of Beethoven. When Anthony is at the pi- ano, though, his taste is for jazz. “I can’t practice unless I’m in front of people,” explains Anthony, who is a performer to the core. Like anyone else, he has his bad days: “Man, some days you just can’t play the blues.” What- ever Anthony’s future holds, he’ll face the music-playing by ear.

EVENING PRACTICE at St. John� , lets ElUabeth Miller get ready (or bell ringing on Sunday. Photo by J.

Maybe some- day this compliment will fall to Eliza- beth Miller who wants to Involve her- self with others’ problems by being a lawyer. “My parents are lawyers and they showed me it was interesting. states Elizabeth. Basically, she wants to han- dle average cases like social commu- nity problems, wife beatings, and land- lord-tenant problems. Instead of just saying. I want to be a lawyer. Elizabeth puts her interests into action. She belongs to an organi- zation called Explorers which she at- tends once a month and talks with a group about corporate law. criminal law. etc. Also. Elizabeth worked on a project In Gifted and Talented involv- ing the Tatooed Lady Murder of 1947. Though it was impossible to prove who murdered the downtown dwelling, gambling drunk, Elizabeth comments, “1 loved nit-picking through the old courthouse records, and 1 liked the blood and guts of the police report.” Career plans for Elizabeth involve a degree in Liberal Arts so she can teach English because she says. “The first couple years for a lawyer are the worst because a reputation hasn’t been earned yet, and teaching would give me something to fall back on. Although Elizabeth will be content be- ing a lawyer, she thinks it would be “neat to be a judge. She declares, “A judge applies all law, and weighs the two sides, which to me. Is the highest achievement. WE WANT IT WE’LL GET IT SljJj l PETE ROSE CLASS OF 1983 55 THE PLAGUE STRIKES Senioritls is a terminal disease spread by afflict- ed Seniors with a superi- ority complex. Common results of this contagious illness include shirked re- sponsibilities, wild ideas, crazy antics, and above all-class motivation. Senioritis, which is usually restricted to Sen- iors, is not as exclusive as some might believe. “Senioritis affects any- one who has the urge to graduate from high school, basically anyone who is not mentally dis- turbed,” qualified Nancy Hartz. Many believe that Sen- ioritis is an integral part of high school; fitting somewhere in between an APP Chemistry test and a lagging Humanities Journal. And yet, one would think that since Senioritis is such a typi- cal ailment, some frus- trated teacher along the line would have found a cure by now. As one Sen- ior explained, “You look at the underclassmen as a whole new breed, and you ask yourself, ‘are these things human? Should they be in a 10 foot radius of me?’ Could Senioritis be considered class snob- bery? Maybe just a little, but it’s expected. After- all, we’re Seniors!

DECISIONS WE ALL MUST MAKE It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epic of belief, it was the epic of incredulity, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. ’ • Charles Dickens Perhaps this quote depicts a cer- tain time in our lives ... a time for seniors which Is coming to a close. Graduation. As little naive sophomores the un- important word was easi- ly missed between the fine print and rarely did It cross our minds as Ju- niors. But as seniors the reality and uncertain an- ticipation accompanying it conveyed a new mean- ing to the remaining mo- ments of our high school lives. Whether it be in or out of school, we began to look back on our three years spent at CHS In a new light. I’m looking forward to the many opportunities that will come with graduation,” commented Matt Kelley. Looking for- ward to it or not, gradu- ation and breaking away from the security and friendships of high school is a big and often fright- ening step for many of us. As graduating seniors, we are bombarded with college literature and many alternatives to it, such as working a full time job, getting married, and joining the armed forces. The decision we will make will affect the rest of our lives. Maybe its the challenge of this awesome step, that makes us feel a bit more Independent, or in some cases dependent, from our family and peers. Has high school pare- pared us for an afterlife? Looking back on my past three years at Cen- tral, there are a lot of things I would like to change if I could,” said Maureen Johnson, but there are many things I have learned.” Expressions such as Wow! Was 1 like that as a sophomore?!” are often heard among the older crowd, and not surpris- ingly the answer is most likely “yes.” Sure, there have been instances when we have screwed up or acted foolishly, but we. along with the support of our friends were able to pick up the pieces. Remember, everyone has their dreams, fanta- sies. and secret aspira- tions. In high school we had the chance to devel- op them. As high school ends, we have an entire future to work towards them and possibly carry them '-through. No, life doesn’t end with gradu- ation. It’s just beginning! GETTING A HEAD START on her future.

Edens 59 BEST OF BOTH WORLDS A touch of maturity, a touch of imma- turity, a touch of security, a touch of insecurity, not a senior, not a sopho- more, but a merging of the two. The Juniors - the best of both words. We began to appreciate our place in life more and more. Not being as tim- id, but feeling more at ease gave us the freedom we needed to challenge our- selves. We began to feel accepted, and we had the courage to start things on our own, and from this we gained self- esteem and identity. As one junior put it, “We are not as uncomfortable now about participating in activities as we were as sophomores. Driving, the challenge of buying beer, and fake I.D.’s all came into action. We didn’t have to crash parties any- more because we either were Invited or they were our own. We hit a point where we were old enough to know better, but young enough to have the nerve to do It. We had started to think seriously about what He ahead of us, yet we had time to be “foot-loose and fancy- free,” as Tim Aldrich said. Instead of following we had begun to lead, and instead of looking up, we looked out.

STRIVING FOR THE ACE Ranked second in the Quad Cities and In the top eighth of the state shows Just what kind of tennis player Ray Ro- sario is. Not only that, he carries a four point average in high school on his way to becoming a cardiovascular sur- geon. Ray has been playing tennis since he was nine, when his father bought him a raquet and took him to the raquet club. To maintain and improve his rank in tennis, Ray practices six to eight hours a day at the raquet club and takes private lessons in such far away places as Hara Hopmen’s Inter- national Tennis Resort in Florida. Ray has been on the Central tennis team since he was a freshman starting as number three, and moving on to num- ber one, a position he plans to retain this year. “It’s good exercise and I like the fact that 1 am responsible for everything that happens on the court,” comment- ed Ray. 61 LEARNING IS HER LIFE s RELAXING ON THE LAWN. Adriene con- templates her future. Photo by: Dave Ashton. Education to many means nothing at all, to others, it is a telltale of the future. Without It, the future is limited, and with it, there are endless possibilities. To Adriene Royal, learning is her life. “For a person to succeed, it takes a lot of hard work, a positive attitude, and support from others.” stated Adriene. Assistance comes from Adrlene’s fam- ily, who believe in what she does. She concentrates her studies in English, mainly because she has a talent for writing, but also because her brothers are very Interested in English and she looks up to what they do. With excelling grades in her courses, Adriene hopes to possibly major in Journalism. “Through journalism, 1 can express many important issues neces- sary to the people.” Her plan is to run a publishing company, yet she knows this doesn’t come easy. In order to accom- plish her ambition, Adriene wants the best education and the most experience in Journalism.

If he’s not playing his instruments, he’s working on a project In industrial arts. Gary spends three hours a day at the Vocational Center working on indus- trial arts. He would like to follow in his father’s footsteps and someday be a tool and die maker. Even after a day at the Vocational Center. Gary Just won’t quit. While at home, he works on a wooden cabinet and dresser for his room. To add to his already full schedule. Gary plays the viola In orchestra and is presently a violinist In the Tri-City Youth Symphony, which he auditioned for In the fall. Gary Is also taking pri- vate violin and guitar lessons, practic- ing each for a full hour everyday. Gary concluded, “I believe that If you like something a lot you should keep at it and try your best.” 65 SPIKING TO THE TOP POSITIONING herself for a spike.

When I par- ticipate I feel more at ease. Already earning two varsity letters. Missy Is in- volved In three sports (softball, basket- ball. volleyball) which will eventually increase her letter count to more than two. Before sports, school is vital, and since Missy is in the top ten percent of her class, she hopes to receive a scholar- ship In either Academics or Athletics. Aiming at college. Missy believes she will concentrate on just one sport, (if one at all) depending on how well she continues to do.

A YEAR OF APPRENTICESHIP What kind of musician is Sara Murphy if everytime she gets her horn out the dog runs and hides? One would think too loud, but band director John Ber- natz considers Sara, “Excellent, and on the verge of outstanding.” Beginning with the piano In second grade, she progressed to the trumpet In fourth grade, the French horn in sev- enth grade, and the megaphone In tenth grade. Each new instrument be- came an opportunity to excel. Howev- er, a unique challenge presented Itself when she was selected to be one of the assistant drum majors to the marching band. To prepare for her position, she at- tended a drum major camp during the summer which taught the basic tech- niques of band direction. She consid- ers being an assistant drum major “a year of apprenticeship needed to de- velop the skills of leading a one-hun- dred- and -forty piece band. Understanding for Sara came through both the early morning practices, (which she felt were necessary, but hazardous to one’s health), and through the one game she directed in the place of the drum major. She hopes this will come as an advantage when she tries out for head drum ma- jor next year, and for a position In the Hawkeye marching band year after that. VERSITALITY IS THE TRADEMARK Versitality is the trademark of Mike Burke. He participates in football (quarterback). Baseball (pitcher and first baseman), wrestling (185), and track (400 yard dash). These are quite a combination of activities, but Mike does them all and with style. He ex- plained, “Give 100 percent all of the time and don’t take anything personal- because you get yelled at a loti” Even after a six period classload and regular practices, Mike finds the time to train at home and at Nautilus Fitness Cen- ter. Mike explained. “Sometimes it can be difficult to get my homework done, but my parents really support Mike feels sports have helped him as an Individual by helping prepare him for the outside world. Competition for Jobs will be easier because he is used to the pressure well. Mike Burke has excelled and shown his peers nothing but talent and skill. AMIDST THE HYSTERIA “You’re a sophomore?!” How many times have we heard that from a taunt- ing Junior or senior? Someday we’ll get even, but for now Its our turn to flow with the Jokes and teasings and uphold the tradition as sophomores. “The posters and elevator passes were a lot of fun. We can take those few days of embarrassment and In some cases, humiliation.” says Monica Kur- ylo, summing up that dreaded first week. Who will ever forget the Soph- omores park your big wheels outside” posters or the “I’m a sophie” pins? Our first year will remain with us for- ever and how we beat out the “upper- classmen” with our screams of ’85. Getting lost as we tried to find our classes on the four floors and finally meeting up with old friends gave our first day a little familiarity. New teach- ers, new schedules, and most impor- tantly our new friends added a touch of excitement to the otherwise fright- ening year. As we hesitantly Joined new clubs and activities, our beginning fears slowly began to diminish. We were being caught up in the spirit of the Blue Devils and were finally estab- lishing our own place.

Jay Justin awaits hts call onto the field. Competition and challenge. Pressure and respect. According to Jay Justin. “They’re a part of Central's athletic tradition. and one he “doesn’t intend to change.’’ If Jay’s performance as a sophomore is any guide, it isn’t going to. Participating In baseball, track, and varsity football involves challenge, and each earns him respect. In base- ball Jay was the starting first base- man, but felt he lacked experience in that position. “I was satisfied with my batting, however.’’ In sophomore track, he was a middle distance run- ner. More Impressive was his football record, though, as a sophomore on the varsity team. “It was a big step from Junior high, and the pressure was tough, but 1 learned a lot from it.” Jay played free safety, reserve quarter- back, and was on the punt receiving team. His talent, however, extended beyond the athletic field and into music as a member of mixed chorus. Jay feels that music puts him at ease while ath- letics pump him up. He also displayed a solid academic performance in chal- lenging courses. If, according to Jay, “Happiness is dreaming dreams, and paying the price to make them come true,” his first steps as a sophomore should put a smile on his face. 71 r ATTENTION DIRECTED toward the drum ma- jors. sophomore Mark Anderson keeps the beat to Malaga during a marching band rehearsal. HE’S GOT I began by hitting things around the house, along with my brother’s re- cords, when I was little.” percussionist Mark Anderson explained. No, not ac- tually destroying the house with his enthusiasm, but he was unknowingly developing talent. “My formal lessons started the sum- mer after fourth grade with James Bawden, a local private instructer. My parents have helped me tremendously by paying for all my books and lessons, but 1 was under no pressure to begin drumming.” Mark has participated in SE1BA (South THE BEAT East Iowa Bandmasters Association) Honor Band, Tri City Youth Sympho- ny, and Saint Ambrose Honor Band. Mark wants to make All-State Honor Band on snare drum. “1 figure that I’m as good as 1 should be. but I can always get better.” Mark added. “Percussionists lead a charmed life In band. They get away with; sleeping, eating, talking, and goofing around, activities band members wouldn’t.” he said with a glimmer. “I think that music will only be a hob- by for me. There are other careers that are more promising.” Gerald Connor Deanna Cook Penny Cook Kimberly Cooper Michele Coopman Bruce Couch Sharlta Couch Cynthia Cox Patricia Cox Keith Crane Kimberly Crone Michael Crone Kim Cruchelow Llaa Crump Tereaa Cummlnga Lindsay Cuater Veronica Dally Tammy Dalton Karen Danlela Jean Darbyahlre Shawn Deaomber Cherry Davie Lemuel Davla Linda Davis Penny Davla Tamle Davla Matthew Dean Kelli Decker Wendy Dedmon Randal Deeds Kristin DeJohn Tammy Dells Yvonne Dclveau Karen Dcaalvo Jeffrey Devan Richard Devine Mary Diamond Virgil Dlckcn Jennifer Dietz Stacy Dewitt Michael Duex Raymond Duex 72 Jennifer Dultsman Melissa Easley Christine Edwards Anthony Egert Tammy Elliott Robin Ellis Denise Elmore Eric Engstrom Jean Epplng Steven Everman Michael Fahrenkrug Bill Fair Rhonda Falbe James Farley Melissa Farley Mindy Farrell Tammy Felts Desiree Fernandez Robert Fey Joyce Fiedler Shaun Fish Jill Fitzpatrick Kathy Frederlchs Jeffrey Froehllch Angela Fuhs Robert Dean Fuller Tammle Fuller Jamie Gabel Marcia Garnlca Gary Garrett Marvin Gatewood John Geiger David Genung Mike Gerlscher Donald Gllbralth Erin Glpple Cathy Gish Sharon Goetsch Gregory Gordon Bob Graham Cara Gravert Trad Grimes Shsnnon Grlnstead James Grobstlck Shirley Groves Craig Gutnn Timothy Gulzar Florence Gupton Mary Gusman John Graham Matthew.

It includes dinner, entertain- ment. and one may even be surprised to see Samantha Bakeris up on stage. Last year, Samantha played Armlna In the musical “Oklahoma. A musical Is not the only show that must go on. Samantha is involved In public speaking, gymnastics, cheer- leading, and treble choir. Yet she has found time for dance lessons, 2nd gen- eration, the Quad City Music Guild, and plays the vlolen, clarinet, and sax- aphone. Samantha’s family, who had it’s own band, has quite obviously contributed to her musical Interest. Samantha enjoys dancing and singing on stage yet this Is only one part of performing. Whether she plans to make a career of performing or keep it as a hobby, her talent gives her some- thing to do as well as her audience. 75 We really like having each other around, says Kim Crone of her relationship with Mike, her frater- nal twin brother. Photo by T. Kruse INDIVIDUAL REPLICAS “Hey, that kid looks like you!’’; a com- mon remark heard often to the ears of Kim and Mike Crone. As twins they have had a very close relationship growing up. Named Mike and Kim because Kim is spelled Mike backwards, the twins were often dressed alike. Kim says. “Once we sang “Frosty The Snow- man in front of our whole school. Mike recalls, “When I was young, I didn’t like being matched with her, but now it’s okay. Having a sibling close does have Its advantages, and Mike says, “Kim can really help me with my school work and we can talk about people since we’re the same age.” When it comes to ordering food at a restaurant or buying a new album, Kim and Mike always go for the same things. “We have the same tastes,” explains Kim. Not left out for a minute, the Crones’ take part In several extra activities. Playing defensive end on the sopho- more football team, Mike says “I think It’s a good way to meet people. As for Kim, dancing and piano lessons take up a great deal of her spare time.

On the week-ends it may be hard to find Mrs. Beat. She has an r.v. (trailer) in McGregor, Iowa, where she enjoys sledding, snowmobiling, hiking, and motorcycling. Besides spending time in McGregor, Mrs. Beat has been very active as the advisor for A.F.S. program, along with being the faculty head of Spree, a member of the Iowa State Teachers of English, an officer of the Mississippi Valley Council of English Teachers (“To promote my own profession”) and a busy member of the Pilot Club International for the city of Betten- dorf. Laughingly Mrs. Beat explained her youthful ideas, “Life is so much funt” An indicator of her youthfulness and willingness to try things was her de- sire and accomplishment of taking up motorcycling. Her husband had want- ed her to take a class on how to be a good rider. When the course was com- pleted, Mrs. Beat decided that she couldn’t be just a passenger. “That would only be second best. 1 had to have my own motorcycle for inter- state driving, the biggest one I could fit on.” Without hesitation Mrs. Beat replied that her favorite part of teaching Is the kids. “They are not used to optimistic ideas. 1 am willing to try different things.” Grtm-reaper!

When not in the classroom one might find Jerry Harper in the weight room coaching the wrestling team. Before becoming a member of Cen- tral’s faculty Mr. Harper taught a year In Missouri and thirteen years at Pleasant Valley. He decided upon the teaching profession to stay in volved in athletics. “I came to Cen- tral because of the opening in the wrestling program and I also enjoy working with Mr. Fisher.” This spring Harper will be coaching the soccer team. Presently Harper is teaching special education; during the summer he sells life insurance. He prepared for his teaching career by attending several colleges, yet he received his graduate honors at UNI. He will be extending his education at the Uni- versity of Iowa this summer.

A CULTURE CUE What do two Nubian goats, a well kept garden, and Stuttgart, Ger- many all have in common? German and biology teacher Don Goetz pulls these pieces together as he dis- cusses his childhood. “I grew up on a ranch in Hazen, North Dakota, with plenty of animals around, which I enjoyed,” reminisces Goetz. As Hazen is a German community, Goetz grew up speaking German at home. Due to his upbringing, and being around animals. Goetz had planned to go into an agri- business or veterinary science career. How- ever while at Wartburg College, Goetz moved into teaching. “My friends influenced me a lot. I also felt it would be rewarding to work with young people, and I had the advantage of speaking German.” Goetz has worked hard to get where he is today. Throughout college he had odd jobs to pay tuition. Strug- gle is good. When you finally attain your goal, it means more.” For Goetz, the goal he is headed for now is definitely worth a struggle. Diversity has always been the strength of America - the many dif- ferent cultures mold Into one. How- ever, according to Goetz, America’s melting pot has absorbed more Ger- mans than any other culture. Goetz Is working to revive the German culture through classes, German Club and Adult Education German class. “The two world wars destroyed co- maradarie and culture. People didn’t want to be a part of German heritage, but that’s gone. The histo- ry and culture must not be forgot- ten.” If the many films and club ac- tivities are clues, then this goal is well on It’s way to being realized.

Gaines A CONTRIBUTION “Teaching special education takes more patience, be- cause you don’t get the great gain from these kids that you get from brighter kids.” explains first year Cen- tral teacher Tom Marlon. With influence from his fa- ther. Marion graduated from Iowa and did his student teaching at Central. “That was 15 years ago. A long time ago!” Since then, traveling from school to school. Marion has become a member of the Smart, West, Wood, and now Central faculties. Stating his preference, Marion enjoys teaching high school level more and sees no difference in the programs and fa- cilities between Central and West. Aside from his day of teaching, Marion volunteers his time to the coaching of seventh grade basketball, wrestling, and track at J.B. Young and to the Park Board’s tennis program in the summer. With all these time consuming activities it’s still a ritual for Marion to run daily, play tennis, and to spend time with his family. Considering everything involved it’s hard to understand how Marlon can admit, “I am selfish with my free time.

What do these things have in common? These six items and more make up Mr. Massman’s job as Associate Principal. Whether it be by a visit to his office, Stuco, or just seeing him around school, it’s probable that most of us have come in contact with him sometime. Although he has a very full schedule, in his free time he likes to read, listen to music, and occasion- ally catch an episode of MASH, Hill Street Blues or Cheers. Also, like many of us, he loves to eat tacosl Being in charge of discipline, some visualize Mr. Massman as always being a perfect angel, but that's not quite true. When asked if he ever got into any trouble when he was in high school, he chuckled and responded, “Let’s put it this way ... I knew my vice principal and he knew met’’ Although he doesn’t have a perfect sharing of experience with everyone at CHS, this helps him to relate and un- derstand the students better. As an added token of advice, he recommends. “Go to class and stay out of trouble and we’ll get along just fine!” AFTER A LONG VISIT in the Associate Principles office.

Miss Baker is a Central graduate of 1975, who went on to St. Ambrose where she received her teaching degree. “I decided to teach athletics because I enjoy them and want to help others to enjoy them.’’ She has taught at five elementary schools before coming to Central. Baker coached volleyball at Central before she taught here. She believes her previous coaching experience at the school helped to decide she would like to teach here. “I want to bring the best out in an athlete. They participate because they want to. not because they have to. Miss Baker’s main priority in coaching is teaching discipline. “A person must have discipline to accomplish things in life. The disciplined athlete should work hard yet enjoy what he's doing. Keeping in shape and having good eating habits are important, but I mainly be- lieve that a player must sacrifice a certain part of themselves to get full self-satisfaction out of the sport.” Before every game Miss Baker inspires her team with the motto “No pain no gain.” Baker plays volleyball for Rudy’s Tacos and also participates In a bowling league. During the sum- mer she spends her vacation time golfing and play- ing softball for Waterbed Creations. She also en- joys traveling. “I would like to go to Scotland in the near future. I enjoy the old castles,” concluded Miss Baker.

Just spit it all out at once, Ab-pla- nalp,” is how the new Orchestra direc- tor Charles Abplanalp teaches people to say his name. His cheerful, outgoing personality has helped him to win the respect of the students. I felt very at home from the first day I started, explains Abplanalp, I think the students and faculty were a very big part in helping me to relate to them and 1 suppose my age didn't hurt, he says Jokingly. Aside from all of his music accom- plishments and activities-there is life after Orchestra for Abplanalp! Skiing down the snowy mountains of Colora- do or Snowstar (whichever is the most convenient), bicycling across the state or around the block and playing frls- bee all give Mr. A the free time away. that he needs to help him do his Job the best he can. Playing back up violin for the Oak Ridge Boys, bass guitar for Wayne Newton, and the chance to meet and become great friends with Tom Sullivan, are a few of Abplanalp’s experiences in his Journey of be- coming a director. Abplanalp and Sullivan became such great friends, that in fact, Mr. A”, as all the kids call him. was asked to become Sulli- van’s arranger and director in Cali- fornia. Abplanalp turned the offer down, though, because his love for teaching overpowered fame and fortune. Not that I like the power play. says Abplanalp. but working with the people and music is very fulfilling. UNDER HIS SUPERB DIRECTION this year or- chostra has began to expand it’s horizons. Photo: B.

But it’s the quality, not the quan- tity of people that makes a club work. Whether it be decorating football or swimming lockers before a big con- test, baking cookies for the volleyball team, or displaying a “Our band is 1” sign, pep club encourages students with a little bit of get up and go. Advisor Banks Swan believes “there's a lack of interest and participation in pep club, but those who are members work enough to pull It along. Meeting It's the quality, not the quantity at 7:30 a.m. on Mondays to brainstorm, Wednesdays to organize, and Fridays to finalize and produce would require an involved worker. Football season Is the busiest, but as winter comes other commitments occupy their time. Mr. Swan considers pep club to be “an opportunity to support various activi- ties. Another way to support athletic activities would be to get involved with the D-men’s club. This service is not buried beneath the CHS vitality, however, because the members are a strong part of It. What girl couldn’t help checking what day the D-men's meeting was and acciden- tally go by the cafeteria to catch a glimpse? What she'd see would only be a bunch of male varsity letter win- ners chowlng down on donuts. Presi- dent Tom Hemmen, Vice President Booker Scott and Secretary Brian Gil- bert could be found there along with advisors Bill Freese and Ira Duns- worth.

There’s the possibility of hitting the nose of a disliked teacher with a dart, or even an egg. But whatever re- sults, the Science Club and room 308 act only as a beginning to the vast op- portune world of science. COMPUTER CLASS VOLUNTEERS: First row: Tom Green. Greg Bolterman. Joy Dohrman.

Since the paper Is published bi-week- ly, each member of the staff must al- ways be under deadline pressure. Mr. Vahl wants you 100% of the time,’’ commented chief photographer Brian Speer.

Besides devoting a lot of time to work- ing on the newspaper. Mr. Vahl feels. THE KIDS HAVE A REAL Intereat In putting out a paper Juat for the atudenta.

Led by editor-in-chief Dave Ketelaar and the Big 4 (writers Michelle Hendricks. Matt Kelley. Joe Stelnke. and Jim Beghtol). the Black- hawk staff has put out a paper that is increasing in quality through dili- gence. according to Matt Kelley. At first, Mr. Vahl thought the new staff would be off to a slow start. However, he’s the first to admit that his assump- tions were wrong. This staff Is pushing for more Issues, more features and more pages for a greater challenge. Mr. Vahl and the staff make it a crite- ria that every issue have something that appeals to every student. Central Is lucky to have a newspaper staff such as this year’s-one that really cares about the paper and its readers. BIG DECISIONS.

Kruse FAST TIMES Knowing what to do. doing it. and doing it right. is the chief responsibil- ity of a yearbook member.” comments Jennifer Gajeski. assistant editor of the Blackhawk Yearbook. The goal of the yearbook staff is to put out a book at the end of the year that will express the unique qualities of that particular year from all angles, and satisfy the students and faculty. The theme for the book is What’s Happened Here. Mixed efforts from editor in chief Sue Ashton. Assistant editor Jennifer Gajeski. layout editor Jill Barrett, and photographer John Gaines, produced the theme of con- trasting the new Central with the old. Many people think of It as Just pic- tures and memories, but for people on the staff. It’s an experience that be- gins from the end of one’s sophomore year, until the banquet of one’s senior year. During this time, deadlines, photo orders, layouts, interviews, as well as homework, make up a hectic schedule. Although. I have been a yearbook advisor for nine years, each has been uniquely different, because of the wide range of personalities.” com- ments Mrs. Mcllvaln. A mess of pa- pers. blue layout sheets, and pictures fill the five round tables in Trailer 8. ‘‘For many of us the trailer became our second home. The sound of typewriters, screams of frustration, and arguments between photographers and writers can be heard every day from sixth period on through seventh and even after school. Pop cans and bottles pile up in the back of the trailer from many pre- vious trips to Omers Royal Blue. Mrs. Mcllvain, affectionately called “Mac.” can be found making her rounds from table to table, editor to editor. “Mac’s great!” comments Kim Bailey, describing a mutual feeling felt by all yearbookers.” It’s one big happy family. says Michele Crawford. For those who are and have been in yearbook, it’s an experience that helps one open the door to the future. It’s a year of challenge, a year of adventure. 97 SHOWCASE OF TALENT WORDMONGERS “We really get excited when someone from out of nowhere runs In with their eyes lighting up and says, ‘Can I still submit this?’ When they leave, their excitement rubs off on the staff,” told Mrs. Christian, who, along with Mrs. Booth, is a Devil’s Diary advisor. What kind of stuff comes in? “Artwork, poetry, short stories — we receive and publish all kinds of stuff,” answered Tim Walker, one of the sen- ior editors. The other senior editor. Shelly de Silva, is working on an index for this year’s Devil’s Diary. “It seemed like a mess before,” she ex- plained. “Things will be easier to find this year.” “Students hove the talent and it should be recognised by the whole school. Also to be printed in this year’s Diary is the script for the Spree Aud skit that was cancelled because of weather and absenteeism. “An ageless Central tra- dition was broken when that skit was canceled,” explained Mrs. Christian, “and the Devil’s Diary is a great place for something like that.” Hopefully, Mr. Holladay will illustrate the story. “We need to build a stronger attitude at Central — all students should be more aware of the value of their own and their peers’ writing,” continued Mrs. Christian. “1 feel that students have the talent, and it should be recog- nized by the whole school rather than just their teachers.” agreed Shelly de- Silva, “that’s why I feel Devil’s Diary is an important Central tradition.” EXAMINING AN OLD EDITION of the Diary.

A CHAIN OF NEW IDEAS THE MAIN LINK Eagerness, cooperation, donuts, and dependability, combined with a hint of frustration, are all a part of Student Council. Although there was a new ad- visor, Mr. McGee, the council was able to pull together to fully represent Cen- tral. “Everyone profits from STUCO and the student body working togeth- er,” feels Paula Kreiter. By meeting twice a week, the mem- bers were able to unite and become more of an influence. As Mr. McGee reflected, “The council has more le- verage than the voice of Just one per- son.” President Richard Brown be- lieves. “We are the main link between Striving To Unite Central students with their Overlords the students and the administration.” And from this well communicating path, the council was able to support more activities for the student body. The goal of an activity a month was reached. Tummies filled with donuts every Friday, hearts at Homecoming filled with wonder, newcomers at their dance filled with anticipation, Hallow- een Grams filled with tricks or treats, and the activities during the rest of the year filled the whole school with enthusiasm. What made the council work so hard for a successful year? “We wanted to get away from the idea that the coun- cil doesn’t do anything,” Kris Wilson pointed out. With a president that felt “the students weren’t getting enough activities,” and supportive officers. It’s no wonder the council accom- plished their goals. According to Sec- retary Joy Maher, What kept the council going was the feeling of achel- vement.” 101 VERBAL AMMUNITION WAR OF WORDS. A good ear, a quick tongue and the willingness to work, are key factors to being a good debater. The debaters season starts during the summer when he or she participates in debate camp. By this time they have already begun researching their topic. This year the subject In debate was “Should the U.S. slgnlfigantly curtail arm sales to other countries.” The debator must look up Information supporting their views, positive, and negative. Storing all their facts in hundreds of note cards, typed papers, and several files and folders, debaters can often be seen carrying a large heavy briefcase. From October until the first week of March, a debate tournament is held every weekend. The tournaments are held here, and as far as Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. “Organized chaos,” describes Mrs. Flaherty, when asked the atmosphere of the debate room. The varsity and Junior varsity group meets everyday at fourth hour and the sophomores at second hour. During class they work on organizing their Information and working on their speaking skills. ‘Tve learned to organize my thoughts and The skills that It teaches are really important. It helped me get organized and be more knowledgable. - Mrs. Fla- herty present them in a more mature and persuasive way,” commented Junior Beth Devries. “Debate people are the most creative people I know,” said Mrs. Flaherty. It’s hard work, but it’s excellent in forming good studying and research- ing habits needed for college,” she also added. Their best tournament was at Co Col- lege Cedar Rapids during the weekend of the seventh and eighth of January. They brought home six third place tro- phies and one second trophy from Steve Plumb for Extemporaneous Speakers. “My favorite element of debate is that besides the close family like atmo- sphere it enables the participants to utilize their intelligence rather than their physique,” explains senior Bill Johns. One must realize also that de- bate is a costly activity with expenses as high as five hundred dollars a year. Including research materials, summer camp, and overnight tournaments. The true goal of debate as Beth Devries explained. “It’s not whether we win or lose, but to know why we won and why we lost and not to lose that way again.” 102 BRIEFCASE. FILES.

Move. Stick ’em. Get ’em. Stick ’em. Stick ’em. Stick ’em. If you’re hurt, you hide it.” According to Amos Manley, this philosophy domi- nates the Davenport Boxing Club, and their records prove it works. In 1969. Alvino Pena started the club out of his own money for the neighborhood boys, and it is presently a well-known respected organization, half way backed by United Way. Pena puts it, “We have the best boys around.” And why? “Discipline. It sets our club apart from all the rest.” One need to be disciplined with practices every night after school. Starting with shad- Di ciplin«. It sets our club apart from all the rest. ow boxing, then to Jumping rope, hit- ting the bag. and running, the prac- tices are all work and no play. Often, before a big tournament, there is prac- tice boxing also. The tournaments the Davenport Boxing Club participates in include the Silver Glove, the Golden Glove. Junior Olympics, and the American Boxing Federation (ABF) tournament. For the older boxers, in the open division, each match consists of three-three minute rounds. The younger boxer, or the novice boxers, fight three-one and one half minute rounds. “Alvino gets us ready for our fights by getting us mad. You could say our madness brings out the ’Eye of the Ti- ger’ and this is Important in every fight.” reflects Manley. As the D.B.C. boxers step into the ring, “Jab, move, stick ’em, stick ’em,” is running through their minds. They got the guts, and they’re out to get the glory ‘From the “Eye of the Tiger, 1982, Survivor, Scotti Brothers. DAVENPORT BOXING CLUB: Front row: Larry Pegues. Pat Pena. Second row: Jerrial Manley.

It gets students involved with their school and putting their talents to good. The group meets the first and third Wednesdays of every month after school. During the hour long sessions, problems In school and out of scool are met and dealt with. Activities such as. dances, skating parties, and bake sales are planned as well, to raise It brings us all together like a family. money to try and set up a program which will allow minorities to take the ACT tests who can’t afford it. The group is advised by Melinda Jones. Even though this is her first year as advisor, the members of BSCS find her motivating and inspiring. “She sees things our way and she sort of becomes one of us, you can really talk to her about your problems.” com- mented Rhonda Young. Working un- der Melinda Jones are BSCS officers, president Rhonda Young; vice-presi- dent Rodney Mayes; treasurer Tol An- derson; and secretary Jodi Hester. The group hopes to be recognized a bit more by the school and get a little more student cooperation. They’re trying to get together with other Black Student Cultural Societies around the area for group activities. It helps one open up and learn to deal with others and brings us all together like a fam- ily,” comments Rhonda Young. 106 ANOTHER SUBJECT IS BROUGHT UP FOR DIS CUSSION as Tracy Morgan and Dominica Clayvon llv ten Intently to their advisor, Melinda Jones.

When was the last time driving a Volkswagon, wearing Chris- tian Dior fashions, or chowlng on tacos scary? They’re Just as foreign as phannkuchen, gateau, or frijoles. Many students discovered this fact by par- ticipation in one of the three foreign language clubs. Under Advisor Miss Vukelich, the Spanish Club started their fiestas with a Halloween party hosted by Scot Weston. Moving on Into the holidays brought the celebration of the Epiph- any to Jojo Myer’s house. No major Usually when people hear the word foreign they're frightened. trips abroad were planned for the Spanish Club, except for the annual voyage across the river to the Circa ’21 Dinner Playhouse. The German Club found themselves In a western union for the first time ever. No, not with the railroad, but with the high school on the other part of town. Under advisor Mr. Goetz, Cen- tral and West combined forces and the result was successful. The events the unionized club organized included an Initiation picnic at Junge park, a Hal- loween party at Lyn Pelsch’s house, and a Christmas caroling party. Also planned was Ice skating In March, bike rides In April, and a trip to the Amana Colonies in May. A Halloween party with apple bob- bing and scavenger hunts began the year for the French Club. Following this, croissants and petite brioches were served during a before school breakfast. Fine french cuisine also en- tertained at the Epiphany party during the Noel season. Plans to New Orleans didn’t go through, however, because of a lack of interest. To whom it may concern: Phannku- chen is German for pancakes; gateau Is French for cakes, and frijoles Is Spanish for beans. Still scared? GERMAN CLUB MEMBERS Lyn Peisch. Duane Wentzel, Sue Milas.

At the age of 33, actor comedian John Be lushi was found dead at his bungalow, March 5, 1982. Belushi’s physical trainer, William Wallace, found the body Friday morning in bed at West Hollywood’s Hotel Cha- teau Marmont. Belushl made his residence in New York, but was in Los Angeles to work on a movie called “Nobel Rot.” John began his aclalmed career with Na- tional Lampoon’s “Lem- mings.” He was also In “Goln’ South” with Jack Nicholsen, and “Old Boy- friends’’ with Talia Shire. Belushi’s popular- ity greatly increased with the movies “1941,” “The Blues Brothers,” “Neigh- bors,” and “Continental Divide.” However, his most well-known and liked movie portrayal was the blustering slob “Bluto” In “Animal House.” Belushi’s best known work was, without ques- tion. his Saturday Night Live Stint. John joined the “Not Ready for Prime Time Players” In 1975, He played memorable roles such as the Samurai Soldier, the demented killer bee, and started the unforgetable phrase, “But noooooootl” In 1979, Belushl left SNL to work on other projects. The cause of death was determined as an over- dose of cocaine and her- oin. Cathy Smith, a Los Angeles drug dealer, is suspected of giving Belu- shi the fatal injection. So far no real evidence has been found against her and no action has been taken. Belushi’s death affect- ed many people. Com- mented Steven Spiel- berg, “His death is a trag- ic disaster for all of us who loved him. We knew how far his talent was taking him.” FAMOUS FOR HIS WACKY CHARACTERS. John B«lu� hi take time out to b« himself In this 1978 photo, (photo courtesy of Q.C. Times) Eight and nine year old kids are suffering night- mares from it, college students flock to take classes about it, and the world’s top diplomats are continuing to argue over It. Yet no one has reached any kind of solu- tion to the rising problem of the nuclear arms race. The race began with the cold war in the late 1940’s, when the rela- tions between the U.S. and the Soviets deterio- rated. The Truman Ad- ministration, to gain an advantage, decided to de- ploy an arsenal of new atomic weapons. Since then the arms race has continued on to see which country could out do the other. Now the Reagan Ad- ministration is proposing a plan that says if we build up the American Strategic Supply, the So- viets will have an incen- tive to cut back on their nuclear weapons. Thus the Reagan Administra- tion has justification for the development and de- ployment of the MX mlssle. Yet Is there any justifi- cation in taking tax dol- lars that could help out the unemployed and us- ing them to produce such weapons? Or is it right to risk the future of our na- tion and for that matter, the world? . . . Some think not. From small towns to a good part of the whole world people are doing something about this race. Some anti-nuclear protestors adorn their bumpers with stickers saying “Give peace a chance,” “Arms are for embracing,” and simply “No Nukes.” They have gone farther than this, holding large rallies, one last June In New York City’s Central Park, gathered around 700,000 people. They came for one thing - freedom from the threat of a nuclear ho- locaust. There were peo- ple ranging from the everyday housewives to priests to stars such as Bruce Springsteen, Peter, Paul, and Mary and Joan Baez. One man, a martyr to his own obsession, be- came free from the threat on December 15, 1982. Norman Mayer had Wash- ington D.C. in a state of panic when he took the Washington Monument hostage. Threatening to reduce the monument to a pile of rubble with 1000 pounds of TNT, he de- manded that something must be done now. The nightmare ended after a bullet wound in the head finished Mayer’s all day seige. This along with the ral- lies may not be a solution to the problem, but it Is a beginning. A beginning to the realization and unity of a nation. It will not end all the fear and puzzle- ment over it or the deci- sions that have to be made. But it may let the eight and nine year olds go back to dreaming about their future ... a future they hope to live to see. -Maureen Johnson DELOREAN CRASHES $10 MILLION DOLLAR WRECK The unlawful use and trafficking of drugs was not a new issue to arise among the American peo- ple in 1982. Drugs, often synonymous with failure and destruction, shat- tered the dreams of one John Zachary DeLorean. who was arrested only minutes after sealing an estimated 10 million dol- lar cocain deal. DeLor- ean. the former chief of North American Oper- ations for General Motors and father of the sleek DeLorean automobile, was a health nut, who was addicted to success, not the drugs which ruined him. What made him do it Watching his childhoot fantasy of owning his namesake automobile company slowly deterio- rated. DeLorean was dri- ven by his ‘‘turbo- charged” ego and fear of failure. 200 million dol- lars in debt, with time quickly running out, De- Lorean resorted to drugs. For 60 million dollars in drug profits, DeLorean reportedly agreed to trade half of his DMC stock - a deal which cost him his dream. And to think that, while causing this nightmare in Los An- geles, DeLorean missed a call from the banker ar- ranging a 200 million dol- lar loan that could have saved not only his com- pany. but himself. Of course John DeLor- ean is certainly not the first or last seemingly re- spectable businessman to be charged with traffick- ing drugs. The under- ground marketing of co- caine in particular is a 30 million a year business in the U.S. -Sue Ashton IN CUSTODY John DeLorean jit in the back seat of a car while awaiting transfer to Federal Court.

Just twenty-one hours old when first in- troduced to his adoring public. His Royal High- ness Prince William of Wales has already begun his much publicized royal life. Princess Diana and Prince Charles are proud to have their son ‘‘a prince of firsts.” He is the first heir to the throne to be born In a hospital and also the first to be raised in their parents living quarters, Kensington Pal- ace. Although he will have his own full-time staff, his parents as well as Queen Elizabeth will be close by when needed. This wasn’t always the case, but the way Prin- cess Diana has been mod- ernizing their royal life. Prince William will most definitely grow to be a popular heir to the royal throne. -Betsy Guyan in OPERATION TRANSPLANT FIRST ARTIFICIAL HEART IMPLANTED ARTIFICIAL HEART RECI- PIANT. Barney Clark goes down In medical history, (photo courtesy of Q.C. Times) 32,000 It is inevitable. There is always an imperfection somewhere that exists. Never has there been a “perfect” date, work of art, piece of literature, or moment in history; Mur- phy's Law prohibits it. Absolutely correct. To be accurate In recording Just how life is here in 1983, it would be unfair to look simply at the glit- ter and the good times . . . the whole story needs to be told. The Quad-Cities, along with the rest of the coun- try, is experiencing some of the roughest times in history since the depres- sion. Besides the run- away Inflation, the outra- geous fuel bills, and the high Interest rates, the single word “unemploy- ment” rears Its ugly head highest. It knows Just where to strike: the heart, via the wallet. National unemploy- ment is 10.8%. The Quad- At 61, retired, and suf- fering from an incurable heart disease, Barney B. Clark had only death to look forward to. Due to this disease, Clark was dying a little everyday. When serious irregular heart rhythms developed, doctors implanted an ar- tificial heart in Clark while his heart was still functioning well enough to sustain him. At 5:09 a.m. on December 2, 1982, Barney Clark be- came the first human to survive an artificial heart transplant. During recovery, his history of mild emphyse- ma caused complications when bubbles were dis- covered on his lungs. Doctors had to operate to control the condition. Several days later, sei- zures brought his condi- tion status down to criti- cal. His recovery went fairly well until early In January 1983 when ex- cessive nose bleeds prob- ably caused by antlagu- lents forced doctors to again operate to repair the arteries. To date Clark’s condi- tion is stable. “His inter- est is going ahead with the operation,” relayed his son Stephen, “he wanted to make this con- tribution. whereas the only other way was to die of the disease.” -Dee Me Donald AND COUNTING FEW JOBS IN Q.C. Cities, however, is faced with 17 Vi % unemployed- over 32,000 people out of work and the numbers are increasing. A recent study con- ducted at Johns Hopkins University showed the ef- fects of unemployment on our society. With the rise of one percent of un- et- nloyment, state prison inca. • � on goes up four pe c. nt, the number of murders rises 5.7%, ad- missions to mental hospi- tals rises 6.6%, the sui- cide rate goes up 4.1% and the death rate from serious diseases goes up 1.9% ... all from a rise of one percent. Additional- ly, alcoholism, infant death and street crime are each affected in turn. An attempt to ease some of the pains unem- ployment brings, many federally funded pro- grams have been set up, including Food Stamps, Veterans’s Assistance, special mortgage ar- rangements, emotional support and even unem- ployment Insurance. Another aid is the Job Service of Iowa whose motto is “Jobs for People . . . People for Jobs.” Sadly, however, there are too many more of the second half. One representative of the state agency. Bill Granda, summed up the situation, “We’ve waited until the flood is washing over us before we even are starting to think about building a wall.” Too often, people lose their faith in themselves and in doing so, lose all hope, never giving oppor- tunity a second chance to knock. Things are never as bleak as they seem and there’s got to be a light somewhere at the end of this dark one-way tunnel. •Matt Kelley HOLLYWOOD TO MONACO PRINCESS DEAD September 13, 1982; tragedy! While driving with her daughter In hilly country, the unexpected happened. Her Serene Highness Grace Kelly suf- fered a stroke. She lost control on a hairpin turn and. after an attempt by Stephanie to stop the car, it plunged 120 feet down a steep hill. Five days later, while never regaining con- sciousness. Grace died of a cerebral hemorrhage and complications of the accident. Stephanie suf- fered from a cracked ver- terbra and cuts and bruises. At the age of 20, Grace Kelly went to Hollywood to become an actress. She quickly won fame for her brilliant acting. In 1955, she won an Oscar for her role in the film “The Country Girl.” At age 26. after only eleven films, Grace Kelly retired from acting to marry Prince Rainier of Monaco, and became princess. The couple lived in a 200 room pink palace in the Principality of Monaco. She brought dignity and luster to Mon- aco. holding benefits for children, the Red Cross and UNICEF among her many charitable activi- ties. The death of Princess Grace caught the world by surprise. A life shat- tered in an instant by a misfortunate accident. She will be remembered for her short but brilliant Hollywood career, and as the beautiful American girl who became a Prin- cess. -Jill Barrett 112 GOLDEN FONDA MOVIE LEGEND DEAD In the rustic glow of a New Hampshire summer, a shimmering lake and haunting cry of swooping loons in the background. 77 year old Henry Fonda ended his acting career of 56 years, in the moving production of On Golden Pond.

Times. after a drawn out battle with a failing heart. During a career which included more than 70 films, Fonda typically portrayed characters re- presentative of an ideal- istic concept of America. Some of his more memo- rable roles were: Young Mr. Lincoln (1939): Tom Joad, the hard-working decent fellow in The Grapes of Wrath (1940): the peaceloving cowboy who failed to halt a lynching in The Oxbow Incident (1943): the frank liberated navel officer in Mr. Roberts (1955): and the troubled, conscientious juror in Twelve Angry Men (1957). Though he was nomin- ated for an Academy Award for The Grapes of Wrath and received rec- ognition through an Hon- orary Award for lifetime achievement in 1981, it was not until Fonda’s 1982 portrayal of cantan- kerous. but loveable Nor- man Thayer Jr. in On Gold- en Pond, that he received a long elusive Oscar. The Oscar, coupled with the fact that daughter Jane bought the rights to Gold- en Pond, ended his career in triumph. Married five times (“and God damned’’ ashamed of it’’), Fonda did his best to avoid the limelight. “I know people use words like ‘national treasure’ and such when they talk about me.” Fonda once said, “I don’t pay any attention to that. It’s embarrassing.” -Jodi Wooten ACTOR Henry Fonda died after his last movie On Golden Pond which won him his first oscar. Photo by Q.C.

Supposedly guarded by the Isralis, It Is agreed that gunmen who sadistically slaugh- tered the men, women, and children, and even the horses this past Sep- tember were right- winged Lebanese Chris- tian militia men, and could have possibly been from the Lebanese forces. For some time now, since the civil war began in 1975, Beirut has been the home of bloodshed with the Palestine Liber- ation Organization de- fending West Beirut from the Israeli forces that were crossing in from all sides. Early last summer the Israelis had the PLO out of incoming or outgoing supplies for ten weeks. As a result of this seige an agreement was reached through many talks that with the help of the U.S. Marines, the PLO would evacuate. With the hope that a stable gov- ernment might emerge in Lebanon, more than 11,000 Palestinians were taken from Beirut and es- corted to board ships to Syria. A beginning step was taken to solving Leban- on's problems by the evacuation, but this step was shattered to pieces when President-elect Ba- shir Gemayal was assas- sinated. Followed a week later by the massacre of the refugees, left Leba- non struggling to settle the political crisis. The Israelis further commit- ted themselves by taking over West Beirut, justify- ing the movement by say- ing they must prevent further bloodshed. The world was shocked that Israel could allow such a thing to happen especial- ly when unity was so close. -Maureen Johnson COMPUTOR TAKEOVER MACHINE OF THE Is there really a ma- chine that can plan a fam- ily’s monthly budget, help Susie do her homework, and let Billy play Pac Man all on one t.v. screen? Yes, most people have al- ready heard about It and many are taking classes working with it. It’s the new booming industry . . . computers. This new stimulating revolution exploded with new technology ranging from cordless telephones to helping a paraplegic walk again. A small desk top computer allowed twenty-two year old Nan Davis to walk for the first time since a,car accident in 1978 that left her para- YEAR lyzed from the rib cage down. Last December she stood before t.v. earners and took half a dozen steps for mankind.’’ The 30 or 50 electrodes and sensors taped to her legs were triggered by the computer to move the muscles. Even though the classes here at school do not offer such advanced learning, that has not stopped students from taking them. This past se- mester, Central received seven new computers. Yet the classes were so jammed, a new early bird basic computer course was established. In addition to compli- cated programs and prob- lems. the computer craze also includes arcades that created such contro- versy that courts have placed bans on the usage of some of of them. Yet, home computer games such as Atari or In-tel-ivi- sion have broken through these bans. Donkey Kong, Pitfall and Space Invaders have lured little ones away from the sand box and Yosemlte Sam. People are Just beginning to real- ize that a new era has hit, and era that promises to change the way America runs and the way Ameri- cans run it. -Maureen Johnson CAPSULES CAPSIZE SCARE STARTS WITH TYLENOL A rash of cyanide spiked Ex- tra Strength Tylenol cap- sules first appeared in the Chicago area in early Octo- ber. Though it was originally suspected that the deaths were the fault of Johnson Johnson, later It was ac- cepted that product tamper- ing was the case. Quickly, wary consumers and retailers disposed of the tainted Tylenol. Howev- er, in wake of the Tylenol legacy, a barrage of “copy- cat crimes” followed with reports of altered products as far away as California and here in Davenport. In California, cyanide was dis- covered in Anacin tablets, but before a national scare could evolve, it was con- cluded that a man was try- ing to kill his wife. Locally pins were found in a Snick- ers bar at a Randall’s gro- cery store. The nation soon became aware of the vulnerability of countless consumer pro- ducts. Tamper resistant packaging companies like West Co. of Philadelphia, PCM Corp. of Roslyn Heights. N.Y.. and Tiny Pil- lar Corp. of Milwaukee, have been swamped with calls for orders or the various lines of safety packaging and sealing machinery. “Blister packs”: plastic sheets that encase each capsule in a container with- in its own bubble are so far, the best preventative mea- sure. Other protective pre- cautions include tight plas- tic shrink wraps which cov- er the cap and neck of some syrup bottles, vacuum seals like those on instant-coffee. and baby food “pop tops” that visibly bulge when opened. The zealous drive for packaging safety will thrust retail prices above normal, but some con- sumer will not mind pay- ing for security. Still, packaging-industry insid- ers are the first to admit the evident: safeguards can never be foolproof, regardless of their cost. -Jennifer Gajeski fXTRA- strength lYLEfV lammophe WHO would have ever suspected that everyday products could have such deadly effects?

If the West looks back fondly on anything from the Brezhev era, it will be the man’s caution and predictability • two very desirable traits in the world’s most powerful communist.” This is how Robert Cullen, a writer for Newsweek, described Brezhev. Brezhev died on November 10, 1982 and Yuri Andropov took his place. The choosing of Yuri An- dropov as Breshev’s suc- cessor was controversial because Andropov was the head of the K.G.B., the Russian secret police. As the Professor of Rus- sian at the University of Iowa put it, he was “a lit- tle surprised Andropov got it because even though I have the fullest of confidence in the F.B.I., which is no way to be compared to the K.G.B., I’m not sure I’d 116 IS “INSANITY” INSANE?

But. less than forty-eight hours after Brezhnev’s death. Andropov was named President of the U.S.S.R. Andropov Is expected to keep military spending high, and to keep a tight control on Europe. He should also work on the conomy and maybe looser on social free- doms. It is also believed that if drastic changes aren’t made, especially in the economy, it could be dangerous.

We can’t believe the So- viets are any weaker be- cause of the change In power.

Jr. Photo courtesy of Quad-City Times On July 5. 1982 the ver- dict of not guilty by rea- son of insanity was the decision made in the J.W. Hinckley, Jr.’s case. After shooting the Presi- dent in front of a crowd and millions more on television, Hinckley was spared a prison term and was sent to a mental hos- pital for an indefinite stay. Who will decide when he is sane enough to return to society? Probably the same psy- chiatrists who first found him insane enough not to be responsible for his ac- tions. As the plea stands now, the verdict is not guilty by reason of insan- ity and it is letting crimi- nals escape their punish- ment. The abolishment of the insanity plea has become a popular movement be- cause of quick and un- monitored releases of the defendents from the mental institutions. Many feel that our mental hos- pitals have become a “re- volving door” that “re- lease offenders within months after their trials.” Those who are In favor of this plea believe people can really be insane and unable to be held respon- sible for the crime they have committed and also feel they should be pro- tected by the law. Unless a person Is able to pos- sess the Intent to commit a crime he cannot be held responsible for it. That is why the insanity plea Is needed to help protect indi- viduals. Because of the public con- troversy the debate over the insanity plea will prob- ably continue for some time. However, if the plea was interpreted as it is cur- rently in Iowa, the public would have a more positive attitude. In Iowa the Insan- ity plea has never been mis- used in our courts because of the statement regarding “intent.” If any sign of criminal Intent is found by the prosecuting attorney then the person will be found guilty, not insane. The use of the insanity plea should be handled in a re- sponsible manner and great pains should be taken to see that it is applied in its prop- er perspective. •Samantha Bakeris FOLWELL’S ‘The Bride’s Gift Store” The Wedding head quarters for the Quad-Cities China and Every day dinnerware Wedding Invitations, and Accessories 219-222 W. 2nd Street Davenport.

The 1982 softball and baseball teams had excel- lent seasons, both taking 2nd in conference, yet end- ed in extraordinary circum- stances. The softball held the first winning season in the histo- ry of Central softball! Coach Willie Hester believes some of the credit for the 23-11 season belongs to the state volleyball champs, “The volleyball players on the team carried over the win- ning attitude, they were up because they knew it was possible.” With seven returning starters the team had exper- ienced pitching, but lacked In the speed for base run- ning. This did not stop them from beating arch rival West, taking 3rd in the Clin- ton Tournament, or from walking off with 2nd place in the Burlington tourna- ment losing only to Du- buque Senior, who took 3rd in state. The season came to a sur- prisingly sad end, losing to P.V. 3-1 in the sectionals, due to a controversial sub- ject summed up by Julie Keeling, “A few girls violat- ed some rules and as a re- sult were suspended for the game.” On the other side of the field, a cross town battle raged onward. For the latter part of the summer even up until the last game it was a toss up for 1st place in the conference which was final- ly decided by .002% of a point. Batting paved the way for the season, Terry Grafton led all others with .382 ave. and 4 homeruns while Tom Hemmen followed with a .341 and 5 homeruns. Pitch- ing was deceiving. Brad Smith led with a 4-1 mark and Chris Cartee was next with a strong 5-1. Even so. Coach Freese commented, “Our pitching was very in- consistent and lacked depth.” Heartbreak and frustra- tion summed up the final game. Losing the confer- ence title to Assumption did not compare to losing the chance to become state champs. Everything fell apart going into the bottom of 7th, nothing clicked like it should have. A 6-0 lead slipped through their fin- gers as Assumption went away to win it 6-10. However, for both teams, the experiences, both good and bad, the wins, and the total success of the season can never be taken away!

While mo9t of us were still lounging around in our swimming suits enjoying the tail end of summer, a diligent group of girls donned T-shirts and knee pads to begin a week of ex- hausting volleyball tryouts. By August 18. coaches Amy Baker and Sue Hinrichsen had chosen the Junior Var- sity and Sophomore teams. Baker, coach of the JV team, recalled, I just knew they would be good!” And she was right. The team started with a big win over West and climaxed with an exciting victory against Clinton. At the season’s conclusion, the team posted an outstanding 6-2 record. Coach Baker attributes their success to the team’s confidence, consistency, and willingness to improve. The team, comprised of five Juniors and two sopho- mores, trained vigorously to achieve success together. As junior Toni Jones ex- pressed, “Throughout our whole season, we were able to work together as one. We were willing to sacrifice for a win — like diving for a ball so it wouldn’t hit the floor.” In contrast, the sopho- more team finished the sea- son with a 2-12 record. “Ev- eryone wanted to win, and we tried to win. but we just didn't have the extra umph at the end to come away with the win,” explained Kim Cruchelow. Despite the losing season. Coach Hin- richsen feels there were some good things about this year's sophomores. Sharlta Couch, Marybeth Hadley, Kathy Frledreichs and An- gie Fuhs were all moved up to the JV and Varsity squads, exemplifying the talent in the class of '85. Looking back at the season, Hinrichsen also concluded, The girls really improved a lot both fundamentally and skill-wise. They had a lot of close games and were happy to be playing.” JV VOLLEYBALL 6 win . 2 losses ON LOST 2 1 Burlington 1 0 Muscatine 2 0 West 2 0 Bettendorf 2 0 Moline 0 2 North Scott I 2 North Scott 2 1 Clinton SOPHOMORE VOLLEYBALL win . 12 losses WON LOST 0 2 Dewitt 0 2 West Inv. 1 2 West 1 2 Burlington 2 0 Muscatine 1 2 West 1 2 Bettendorf 0 2 Moline 0 2 North Scott 2 6 Clinton Inv. 0 2 North Scott 2 0 Clinton 123 It was the final game of the match. Central and Clin- ton each had two games apiece, and both teams hoped to claim victory. The referee’s whistle could not be heard over the cheering Central fans, who were stomping and screaming wildly, hoping to edge Cen- tral on to victory. The crowd grew hushed when Central served game point. Then it was overt Final score - Cen- tral 15. Clinton 4. Central not only knocked Clinton out of first place, causing them to share their confer- ence title with Bettendorf, but also secured a second place for themselves. “No one really expected we never said DIE with only three returning seniors, it didn’t provide us i us to do well, including our- selves.” stated Coach Amy Baker. “But that changed one we tasted victory.” Ba- ker feels the turning point in the season was when Central beat both Moline and North Scott in three straight games. However, I everyone agreed that beat- ing Clinton was the high- point of the season. “Every- I one was in good spirits that i night, and there was a lot of celebrating afterwards,” re- flected Micky Grafton. The team started out slowly, losing the first five games of the season. “Inex- perience really hurt us and with much leadership,” commented Baker, who be- lieved as many did, that this was a rebuilding year for Central. Throughout the season the team improved tremendously, both mental- ly and physically; there was ]ust no way they couldn’t do better. “1 was definitely satisfied with the overall perfor- mance of the team,” con- cluded Baker. Every team Is unique in their own way and for this team it was the constant challenge to be better than they were. They Just didn’t lay down and die.” VARSITY GIRL'S VOLLEYBALL 35 wins. 44 losses CHS OPP 0 3 Dub. Senior 2 3 Dub.

HURTING yourself for a purpose Why do 1 run?” A ques- tion asked by many runners as they pump their arms and flap their feet over the roll- ing hills. As the perspiration trickled to a slow, and the blisters vanished, the 1982 Cross-Country and Distance Running teams got down to business. The motto was kill” ex- plained Coach Ira Duns- worth. and it was carried out. The boys Cross- Coun- try team only had two losses for the year, and the girls Distance Running team had their first non-losing season in Central’s history, with a 7-7 split season. Dave White attributed this suc- cess to the fact that, “There was competition within the team and we all pushed each other. Everyone had goals, whether it be team orlenated or individual. You have to lose a little to gain a lot. stated Mike Bendt. This was a lesson well learned by the Cross- Country team whenever Clinton was on a meet roster. Clinton proved to be too tough for the CHS runners, as Steve Sherwood explained, “Both teams were talented, but we lust never showed our talent when It counted.” To rem- edy the problem, the guys started to work harder than ever and came away with the Conference Champion- ship and third in the District Meet. Co-Captains Peggy Plat- ter and Tami Koester ran side by side to lead the Dis- tance Running team to their split season. Coach Duns- worth stated. The girls had surprising improvement. Kim Scodeller said, “I dreaded the hard workouts, but the satisfaction of knowing I was doing some- thing good made up for it.” “Every runner has the ability to win. Whoever puts that ability to work will reach his goals. stated Steve Sherwood. The boys captured third place at State Meet, while the girls became runnerup Confer- ence Champions. Why do 1 run?” Mike Bendt sums it up, It’s hurt- ing yourself for a purpose. DISTANCE RUNNING: (Front Row) Kim Scodeller, Michelle Ortiz. (Mid- dle Row) Rachel Paulos. Kristin De- John.

Photo by B. Speer with water on the BRAIN how could we be sane? Wild? Yes! Crazy? Yes! Sure, not everyone can be conventional and this could hardly describe this year’s girls’ swim team. The re- cord 1-10 in itself tells the story. The story of a family of girls, mostly freshmen, who had fun. Explains Shelly deSilva, “Our team was free spirited, we were too full of mischief.’’ This team’s main concern from the beginning on, was to improve individual times, but morning blues frequent- ed the pool. “It was disap- pointing that we didn’t have more people achieve their potential,’’ remarked Coach West. Many close meets were not visible by just looking at the final score. They came down to the last race with only one or two points dif- ference. As the losses accu- mulated and the mid-season slump hit, spirits plunged. What was unique about this team, however, was that as fast as they plunged, they soared again higher than ever imaglneable. What was responsible for this? Music. Mainly the Bea- tles famed “Twist and Shout” psyched them up. From then on there was no stopping them. Coach West’s birthday and confer- ence meet were unforgeta- ble. Conference of course, fell on homecoming and the bus ride home was out of this world with half the team’s hair in curlers, nail painting, and the mad rush to get home. It was not all fun and games with Robin Tucker representing CHS at the state meet. “Wanting to win and working hard, Robin im- proved all season climaxing at state.” reflected Lynn Ash. Tucker swam in style at the state meet taking 13th in the 100 yard back stroke and 3rd in the 50 free, breaking the school and her own record for the fourth time. Yes, this team was In- sane. Some say it was the water, others say it was the chlorine, but no one except those who were a part of it will really know. 128 AT dESILVAS HALLOWEEN PARTY on October 28. the 1934 (?)CHS graduate (Sarah Schmidt) and Momma (Lynn Ash) get down to some Rock 'n' Roll.

Of the fifty, thirty-five survived the tough, grueling “two-a-days” and unbear- able heat of those first two weeks. Bringing together athletes from several differ- ent junior high schools. Coach Haul had to unify their individual talents. “My main young players inter- ested in football, help them develop both mentally and physically, and prepare them for varsity ball.” he said. Coming from the “fun and games” of junior high foot- ball, Central provided digni- ty and challenge. Losing to Bettendorf and Moline in the season openers, Troy Sanders commented, “In the beginning we just didn’t have the right attitude; we didn’t work together. With more conditioning and a centralized effort by both the offence and de- fense. the size and speed of the team paid off in wins against Assumption and North Scott. “These two games toughened us up and prepared us for West.” said Bruce Couch. However, after a hard-fought battle, the Blue Devils left the field with a score of 14-15. “That game, losing by only one point, seemed to let the boys down. explained Haul. Ending the season as a well developed team (not the “Ladies” they had often been klddlngly called by Kaul), the players matured, following the “fine football tradition” of Central. Kaul concluded, “I want to give a lot of credit to the boys who don’t get a lot of playing time. They are the ones who made the team a whole.” SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL: (Front Row) Manager Karen Cain.

The team, the fans, and the school came out in style. No one was really surprised when the Blue Devils were ranked 1 in the pre-season polls partly due to the strong finish of last years team. Justifiably so. with a potent offensive attack led by the 1-2 punch of Marshall Cotton and Booker Scott ac- companied by a host of re- turning letterman. “I knew we had a good team, and be- cause of the rating I think it got some of the guys ready to play!” stated Terry John- son. A three hour trip to West Waterloo resulted In a sneaker squeaker 20-14. but was a confidence gainer if not a statistical one. Still uncomfortable. 2 West presented some doubts. Forces clashed in front of an overflowing mass of more than 8500. The struggle for bragging rights was like magnets at opposite poles because of the 7-7 tie at halftime. Due to the fact that West was 2 and is a traditional rival, I knew it would be a well fought game. commented Coach Fox. A massive downpour didn’t wash us out a week later at the Bettendorf game. Having beat them only once before and never on their home field, we had a hellish goal line stance be- fore the half that saved our 14-7 score. explained Jack Morgan. After Bettendorf the illusion of going unde- feated had a touch of reali- ty, but according to Roger Hafner. “We took one game at a time. The final three games Clinton, Muscatine, and Burlington were onslaught victories. Rolling over Burl- ington 20-0 gave us a berth to the play-offs, unbeaten and still 1. WITH HEAD BOWED IN DESPAIR.

Going into the game un- scathed and more confident than ever, there was defi- nitely something to prove. Emotions were high on both sides of the field on a cold 3rd of November with tem- peratures dipping into the 30’s. “I definitely think we have something to prove after what West’s coach Harrington said about out- playing us in the 1st meet- ing!” remarked Coach Fox. Being old pros at It, cheer- ing on the unfamiliar side of the stadium could not bring down the spirit. All hell broke loose on the very first play of the game. A bizarre 78 yard touchdown by Mar- shall Cotton brought the fans to their feet. The sec- ond play from scrimmage was just as exciting as the first, sending Booker Scott to pay dirt on a 83 yard sprint ending our scoring for the first half. “The second play from scrimmage seemed to take all of their intensity and quiet the crowd.” said Scott Smith. The half time whistle ended with a 14-7 score. Coming into the second half. West put up more of a struggle with Central’s only score a 69 yard scamper by Marshall Cotton. Before the last few seconds ticked away the fans could not be held back any longer, they engulfed the track and wait- ed for their cue. The last second ticked by and as the fans swarmed the field the scoreboard read 21-14, our favor. Tyrae Townzel de- scribes, “The win proved to the coaches, the players, the fans, and the Quad Cities that the Blue Devils were 1!” Was it fate as the Quad City Times put it or not? Central would face a tough 3 Cedar Falls at the Uni- dome in just three days. “I felt that playing in the dome might have affected our kids a little.” commented Coach Wilkinson.

Rebounding from an emo- tionally draining game three days prior, the team found the edge gone, whatever it was, the three hour bus ride up, playing inside the dome, and Cedar Falls were all too much to handle. A stunning 28-0 defeat brought tears to the eyes of many Devils as fantasies crashed into realities. Going into the half behind 14-0 was a totally new ex- perience. They had never trailed, and the shock had begun to sink in. The catch up game had started, pass- ing was unusual, but it was the last resort, since the running game had been shut down. The attempt at pull- ing out the 11th win was not to be. The feeling after los- ing such a heartbreaking game was one of disappoint- ment and silence. We had tried our best and the coaches knew it. “Not scor- ing after coming so far real- ly hurt; it hurts to lose when you wanted to win so bad,” concluded Charles Johnson.

Ever since then I’ve wanted to be a cheerleader, and be in on the action.’’ Not everyone on the soph- omore squad got the head- start Shyla Swan did, but the prestige and the chance to be involved in school spirit made the prospect of being a cheerleader appeal- ing. As sophomores, cheer- leading provides a stepping stone into the mainstream of life at Central. Working together at summer prac- tices, the girls meet new friends from other schools and realize cheerleading isn’t child’s play. When people think of cheerleaders, they often think of “spacey girls with bouncy pigtails, plastered smiles, and lots of makeup.” according to Michelle Lar- son. But, in reality, cheer- leading is just like a sport to them. They travail long hours working on cheers and rehearsing time and time again, until they have it down pat. Fan support. It not only can make a difference in player’s performance but in the cheerleaders’ as well. As Patty Novak explains. “Fan support gives us confi- dence and helps us get loud and wild.” Lisa Vandervliet added, “If the crowd doesn’t respond to your cheers, it makes you feel as if you’re wasting your time, because it is hard to cheer to noth- ing.” In many ways, “It’s been a frustrating year with the sophomore cheer- leaders,” explained Coach Jane Crawford. This frustra- tion came up in practice as Kris Seaberg recalled. “We always fought which meant we didn’t have good prac- tices and then we cheered terrible at the games.” Cheerleading also plays an important role to the players. It gives them confi- dence in winning and lets them know someone is sup- porting them whether they are winning or losing. Lind- say Custer stated, “I know the players appreciate us cheering, and that makes us glad we’re there.” SOPHOMORE WRESTLING SQUAD: (front row) Shyla Swan. Darcy Wilts, (back row) Leslie Con- ner.

Their main objection Is “to supervise the ath- letes, keep them healthy, and get them back in condi- tion,” stated head trainer Brad Oates. They must deal with the problems right away with no time to think twice about anything and only hope that they did the right thing. On the average each trainer commits himself to at least twenty-three hours a week, between practices and matches. With all this time wrapped up in training, they feel a little offended when someone asks “What are you training in?” Some of the trainers choose to strengthen their ability through taking extra courses such as First Aid, CPR, or a Cramer trainers course. Karen Cain views her training as “a lifetime experience which in- volves dealing with people.” After receiving help by hav- ing an ankle in a whirlpool or a wrist taped, the player usually comes back into the game to the welcome sound of cheers, not only for his return, but also for the trainers help. 138 PERSUASION, one of Mr Oates spe dallies, is inforced as he intices Jean Jones to stick her ankle in a warm whirl- pool.

Instead of beauty. “The girls were a little hesi- tant at first, because they didn’t think we could hold them up,’’ reflected Scott Tooley. But the professional look didn’t always exist. It wasn’t uncommon for a mount to fall, leaving bodies bruised and faces red. Lisa Hart’s skirt present- ed a peculiar problem for John Hill during the Burling- ton basketball game. When he lifted her onto his shoul- ders, the crowd couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of her skirt, which covered his entire face. As In every team sport, there were weaknesses to overcome. Assistant Coach Sandy Squires felt that “things did not run as smoothly as they had in pre- vious years.’’ She added. “It could be the economy- kids need Jobs which limit the time that they put Into ac- tivities such as cheerlead- ing.” Despite the unsuccessful mounts, bloopers and em- barassing situations, a smile could always be seen. Chris Bewley expressed. “A cheerleader's mood reflects the mood of the fans and players, so a cheerleader can’t have a bad day and go out and cheer like she had a bad day, for that defeats the purpose of cheerleading.” 140 TRIUMPHANT SMILES are the re- sult of a successful mount during the winter sports aud.

IMPRESSIVE things come in small packages All eyes were on Sarah Schmidt as she began her floor exercise routine in the Muscatine meet. She was going to put in a new tum- bling pass for the first time. Half way through her rou- tine, she ran for It, picked up speed and completed the move. Suddenly, an unex- pected cry of pain came from Sarah. She was no longer able to continue her routine. The music stopped and Sarah was taken to the hospital. The report came back that she had broken two bones In her left foot and would be out for the rest of the season. For any athletic team, an in- jury can be devastating, but especially so for this year’s gymnastics team. The loss of Sarah diminished the team of seven to six. “From then on, we really had to rely more on each individual to do well because there was no one to back her up If she got a low score,” ex- plained Beth Shawver. Head coach Beth Emmert felt that this in turn had some posi- PRECISION Is the essential target for Patty Novak as she practices her beam routine.

On the first night, he was introduced as Cary Soanes, the assistant coach. But he was not known by that name for long. When she first saw the 6’1” St. Ambrose football player, Patty Novak ex- claimed, “He looks like Lurch!” So the name stuck. Lurch bacame an unexpect- ed but pleasant addition to the team. Coach Emmert felt that he was a good per- son to have spotting at prac- tices because he was so strong. Kelly Matheson saw another side of him. “One time Lurch gave me a Vela- mint at a meet and 1 did well in vault and beam. He is fun to have around and kind of lightens up the atmo- sphere.” The season went almost as expected. The gymnasts lost their first meet to 1st ranked Clinton, but won six of their next seven meets. At the half season mark, the small team was rated 7th in the state. However, by the time the second Bettendorf meet rolled around, the in- jury-weakend Central team lost to a greatly Improved 10th ranked Bulldog team by 4.75 points. Rounding out the rest of the dual meet season with an 8-5 win-loss record, the six gymnasts started to prepare for the big meets ahead. At the Mis- sissippi 8 Conference meet on February 12, Central claimed revenge on Betten- dorf, nipping them for third place behind Clinton and Assumption. The addition of Lurch. Sa- rah’s returning to workouts, and everyone working up to their potential, the team was pschyed up for Districts February 17 where they needed to beat Bettendorf again in order to advance to the Regional competition for the second year in a row. 142 A GENUINE SMILE at the end of Annie Platter' floor routine add the finishing touch.

The team had fun outside of practice also. Sophomore John Ramirez was startled when a seemingly overzea- lous female flung herself from his gym locker onto him. After recovering from the shock of the Incident, he deduced that the girl was only Resuscitator Annie (a dummy used for learning CPR in gym class), and that he fell prey to his fellow wrestlers’ practical Joke. Dan Staub felt that the teams’ major weakness was that we only worked as hard as we had to. Howev- er. inexperience also had an effect on the outcome of the season. With only two sen- iors wrestling Varsity, Charles Johnson and Shawn Burrage, the team finished with a regular season record of 2 wins and 9 losses. “At the beginning of the season, we felt, idealistically, that we would do better than we did, expressed Assistant Coach Larry Sherman, but reality won out over ideal- ism.” For Central, reality was wrestling against some of the best teams in the state: 1 ranked Bettendorf, 4 Clinton and 8 West. Sher- man commented, We had mental and physical lapses at key times- important meets and tournaments.” By the season’s end, im- provement was visible in each individual wrestler. According to Sherman “Each wrestler gained ex perience and the mat time he needed.” Although he ad- ded, “Putting an inexperi- enced wrestler up against an experienced wrestler, as Central did during the sea- son, was like a test by fire.

Every year these things prevail, the sopho- mores who are used to the ways of junior high ball, due to this must start over from scratch. This year a new coach to the job caused a bit of unrest. Formerly Assistant Varsity Coach Koch, became the head of sophomores. Varsi- ty Coach Ballard explains. “The arrangement was made to meet the needs of the coaches and is In no way a demotion for either. Koch feels the whole season was a learning experience, yet an Important one. “The only problem was getting ever- ything accomplished that I wanted to.” A 71-55 victory over Pleas- ant Valley sent the team on It’s way. After the first game it seemed all down- hill. They would win one game and lose the next three or four. Getting out of our slump was the biggest problem we faced.” com- mented Angela Fuhs. To- wards mid-season everyone was somewhat down. Shar- ita Couch states, “We could never get mentally psyched, our minds always seemed to wander off the court. Towards the latter part of the seventeen game stretch things picked up. The sec- ond time they faced Betten- dorf was the turning point. Says Mary Gusman, “Even though we might have lost by three, we came out and played a third quarter like we should have before in games.” Smiles a mile wide, jubilent hugs, and an over-all feeling of the thrill of victory is the result of a 57-54 win in the Clinton game. The season will not be remembered for the record but for how these girls believed in themselves and came out winners. 146 AN OFFENSIVE REBOUND is an infre- quent occurrence but Jodi Robert know what to do with m the Clinton game as she put it up for a basket.

A pleasant SURPRISE; a season of upsets! The score was 68 to 62. The CHS Girls Varsity Basket- ball team had their biggest upset of the season against Ottumwa, then ranked four- teenth in the state. Forward Julie Keeling reflected. “We played our best game ever because they were ranked so high and every- one wanted to get them bad. This victory came just after a team meeting focusing on the down attitude of the girls. Jennifer Dietz ex- plained. “At the meeting we all wrote down on a piece of paper how we wanted to contribute to the team. Then Coach Ballard read them aloud.“ This meeting brought the team members, “who were getting tired of each other after the long season, ac- cording to guard Diane Brusnighan, back into the spirit and go get ’em atti- tude that was once present at the beginning of the sea- son. Then, to Coach Bal- lard's surprise, “Toward the end of the season, the team members made up their mind about the things they had to do. And once they de- cide what they want to do. they do it.” Another big game for the girls, was their win against Bettendorf. After nine straight wins and then thir- teen straight losses, the girls were glad to get the ball rolling on their side again with their victory over the Bulldogs. A big plus for the girls this season was Julie Keeling who was, One of the top scorers in the Conference and Eastern Iowa, averaging 30 points a game.” stated Coach Ballard. Also, guard Shelley Swinscoe, marked her place with a total of 84 blocked shots for the sea- son and up to fifteen re- bounds per game. The team’s goal was to be at or over 500 points for the season. It was achieved, but not by any outstanding per- formers. by the entire team working together. A reconstructed approach to the fundamentals and philosophy by the coaching staff got the team off to a slow start. Then the guards and the forwards couldn’t seem to play well at the same time. Diane Brus- nighan commented. “The offense was quick but then the defense denied the ball too much.” The team also had the problem of giving up the lead when the opposing team jeopardized their lead. But to the rescue came the reserves. Coach Ballard stated, “We could always count on the reserves to fill in for the regulars. In fact, without them, we couldn’t have accomplished what we have.” VARSITY GIRL’S BASKETBALL 11 wine. 9 loeeee CHS OPP SI 69 Pleaeant Valley 54 48 North Scott 64 57 Mnecallne 66 87 Weal SB 70 Aeeumpflon 54 58 Brf tiMvdoif 73 64 Burlington 60 53 Clinton 63 47 North Scott 68 74 Waal 64 66 Muocatlna 59 86 Aeenmptlon 68 62 Ottumwa 54 53 Bettendorf 60 25 Burlington 55 51 Clinton Invitational Tentiui tnent 62 72 Bettendorf 88 75 Muacatlne Malt!

Early morning practices, a necessity in achieving the many needed hours of prac- tice. were often attended with sleepy, half-opened eyes and stiff ’green’ hair. However, the Central tradi- tion of “Rosie butts,” con- sisting of a humiliating chant and an unbearable slap with a kickboard. along with the annual “rawhide practice” seemed to keep those dreaded, often tiring and monotonous morning practices alive. Swim meets provided the boys, often depicting tur- boned shieks. with a chance to not only better their al- ready good times, but to perform in front of fans, of- ten exceeding those attend- ing girls’ basketball games and wrestling meets. More important, though, was the satisfaction each team member received when achieving their own person- al goals. “We trust each oth- er; we Just don’t screw off or break rules, because we know the other guys will look down on us if we do.” explained Joe Elcesor, who as a sophomore began swimming because of a football injury and has con- tinued for a second season.

With just one conference game left, the Imps traveled to Muscatine, where they made their hopes of finish- ing the season with a piece of first place a reality, by walking over the Muskies 66-45. “Surviving”, like Coach Groenenboom would say, was hard enough, but the team pulled through, and was best summed up this way. “they were like an ex- plosion, just waiting to hap- pen and did.” SOPHOMORE BOYS BASKET BALL: Front row: Rodney Taylor.

But wanting It wasn't enough, that was only the first step on the ladder to their win- ning season. Extensive, sweaty, tough and tiring two and a half hour practices consisting of shooting and rebounding drills, sprints, shuffles, and more sprints were what got the team what they wanted. And what the fans wanted - to be in the race for the conference title. Randy VanMannen added his two cents to the race this season with his awe- some three point shots and by being the most improved defensive player. Jerry Jones, Steve Mayes, and Marvin Morgan led the team as the point guards. Chris Walker and Jim “J.R.” Rob- inson racked up the major- ity of the points, while Chris Cartee led in rebounding. “We each added something special to the team.” stated Chris Cartee. With the high point in the season being the second game against West there was no question that the team had some great fan support. Looking for re- venge, students adorned the gym with red and blue paint- ed faces and cheered so loud that the fans could bar- ely speak to their neighbors. “A crowd is worth seven to eight points,” commented Coach Grensing. The added support of the crowd helped the team achieve a 67-57 victory over the crosstown rivalry. The season ended on a high note. Tied for the title with the two other Davenport schools. Assumption and West, they moved on to big- ger and better races as the tournament play began with their first game against As- sumption.

Kruse. 155 breaking even BARELY Central’s Athletic Program is in good shape for the fu- ture If the economic condi- tions at present do not worsen. We are able to re- main in the black by careful managing. The athletic bud- get is drawn up in late March by Activities Director Roger Brown, West High’s director and Mr. Liddy, the Athletic Director of the school system. Says Brown, “We must estimate the final expenditures of each sport deciding the necessity of each.’’ The budget is then put before the school board for final approval before it may be put into effect. From there on, the coaches take over deciding how the mon- ey will be distributed and if new equipment, new warm- ups, or new uniforms are needed. Central provides the ath- letes with the basic game uniform along with protec- tive gear. The athlete him- self must provide shoes and his own apparel. Yet in some sports, such as golf, a player must supply his own golf clubs. A tennis player must supply his own rac- quet. Ticket sales are the main source of income and with the turnouts, sellout crowds, for football and bas- ketball games allow many of the other sports to sur- vive. In a sense, any money that is taken in is automati- cally put back into the pro- gram. Extra necessities are often provided by the Booster Club. The club also has yearly fall and winter banquets with dinner, guest speakers, and awards. Fund raising, mem- bership dues, and the sale of the football program pro- ceeds are supplements of income. With money that is left over they purchase spe- cial athletic equipment, like washers and dryers, much of the weight room equipment and this year a special lens for the projector that shows playbacks of games. Some schools are not get- ting along as well. Cutbacks are being made in everyth- ing imaginable. They have been forced to make cuts in the salaries of teachers, the staying open of some schools, and In the athletic budget. To compensate for the loss of funds, many schools are charging stu- dents who participate in athletics. The fee charged is somewhere around $35 for each sport they play in. An- other way schools have been making up for the loss of funds is by eliminating certain non- revenue sports that are not as popular. The athletes have been for- tunate that Central has been able to break even In the past and not require these harsh solutions. The major cutbacks were made in the 81-82 school year- the elimination of meal money for away games and money for coaches clinics. Explains Brown, “The cuts were made to affect each player on the teams equal- ly.” ALL THE GUESSING was over on February 9. at this was the day the national letters of intent were signed. The six football players were: Chris Cartee and Henry Terrell to UNI; Tom Hemmcn to Morningtide; Marshall Cotton and Booker Scott to Iowa; and Tyrae Townzel to Drake. Photo: T.

Gaines 157 A “DUSTY” DEFENSE The NFL — they have everything; money, fame, and a problem. A problem with one of the United States largest illegal business — cocaine. This little white powder that looks as sweet as sugar has a deadly effect. It has lured them to dealing it and many have come out of the closet. According to former New Orleans Defensive End Don Reese, “cocaine con- trols and corrupts the game.” Reese, a convict- ed dealer, used this as his FORMER FOOTBALL STAR Mercury Morris testifies in his de- fense against cocaine charges. Photo courtesy of Q.C. Times TRAGEDY IN THE RING The World Boxing Associ- ation (WBA) lightweight title and thousands oi dollars were at stake. It was a sunny day in Las Vegas, where 6500 peo- ple gathered around the outdoor ring at Caesar's Palace to watch Ray (Boom Boom) Mancini de- fend his title against South Korea’s Duk Koo Kim. The crowd watched as each boxer received bru- tal blows to the face and body. The left hooks and slashing rights took a toll on each fighter. Blood spouted from Mancini’s ear after a shot in the head. His hand was badly bruised and swollen and his left eye began to puff and color in the eighth round. Kim. although he showed It less, had been punished too. But the end came fourteen seconds into the 14th round, when Mancini delivered his fi- nal punch, sending Kim to the canvas. Mancini scored a technical knock- out and successfully de- fended his WBA title. While Mancini and his fans celebrated their vic- tory, Kim was taken from the ring in a stretcher. Mancini was solemn when he and the rest of the boxing world later found out what the fight had cost Kim. Duk Koo Kim not only lost the fight, but his life also • something thousands of dollars and a boxing title couldn’t bring back. - Mary Freking chilling theme in the story he sold to Sports Illustrated depicting the widespread drug abuse In the NFL. Since then more have surfaced. One ex-Miami Dolphin star running back Eugene “Mer- cury” Morris was convicted last November. Morris, who helped the Dolphins to two Super Bowl victories, was sentenced to twenty years prison. There does not seem to be a certain stereotype of those who use it or deal it. It has become important enough that George Rogers top rusher in the NFL in ’81 and a former Heisman trophy winner, admitted to spend- ing more than 10,000 on co- caine. A little boy’s dream of be- coming a professional athe- lete sometimes comes crashing down. The fame, the glory gone. The victims will be forgotten but the problem will be intact until someone realizes it and does something about it. 3-POINT The addition of the three point play to the Mississippi Eight Conference this year has added excitement to the Friday and Saturday night basketball games as well as an offensive threat to be reckoned with. The three point play is in Its first year of a two year ex- perimental phase intro- duced by the Iowa State Athletic Association. Whether or not it will last will be decided by the coaches of the conference at the end of next season. Alot of close games are and have been decided by this long range perimeter shot, and for excitement, there Is nothing like the dunk or three point play. •Phil Rameriz KOREAN LIGHTWEIGHT Duk Koo Kim lies unconscious seconds alter “Boom Boom Mancini unleashed in the 14th round.

An unforeseen heart attack, only three and a half weeks after his 323rd victo- ry. was the cause of death for Paul “Bear” Bryant. Alabama’s win over Illinois in the Liberty Bowl on De- cember 29th was just one of the Bear’s many accom- plishments in his 38 years of coaching. Six times the Na- tional Championship can be accredited to Bryants re- cord. Football was not Just his work but his life. Bryant knew where his talents lay and realized he could not save the world, so instead concentrated on just going at it one player at a time.” When asked what he would do if he ever quit coaching replied. Td probably croak in a week.” His boys, both past and pre- sent. were only a handful of the 5.000 mourners in atten- dence at his funeral. A coaching colleague. Woodie Hayes, there summed up the Bear in one simple statement. “This man was the greatest coach of this era!” — Maureen Johnson FRINGE BENEFITS After the NFL Monday Night Football game, the season as we know it was over. The NFL players strike was in effect and all the camps and training facilities had been closed. The strike was one of the year’s most memorable sports events. Usually when one thinks of strike, the Air Traffic Controllers come to mind. Cat. International Harvester, and Case, but this was something dif- ferent and unique, some- thing that had never hap- pened before. Why would football play- ers strike? Why would anybody? Money and benefits were the issue here. As for money. Gene Upshare. President of the N.P.A. stated in Sport’s Il- lustrated, “We did it for the money and the way it should be spent.” As for the benefits, tho players feel they should get 55 percent of the gross in- come from t.v. exposure. a 50-50 split of t.v. rev- enues. With this, brought the ex- pansion of a new football league in America, the USFL (United States Football League). Would this bring about changes in the strike? Maybe, some players threatened to walk to USFL. but changes never occured, the strike ended, leaving a shortened season and a Superbowl Tournament. -Phil Rameriz HOW ABOUT THEM How about them Hawks! After a disappointing 28- 0 loss to Washington in the 1982 Rose Bowl, the Iowa Hawkeyes re- deemed themselves on New Year’s Eve with a thrillingly close victory against Tennessee at the 1983 Peach Bowl. Lead- ing at the half 21-7, the Hawks allowed the Vol- unteers to come within six points with 10:05 left in the game. However, the Hawks were not about to give this classic and important bowl away, winning the game 28-22. NOT WITHOUT GOOD REA SON did Bear Bryant become a leg- end only to die soon after his retire- ment. Photo courtesy of Q.C. Times Iowa’s sophomore quar- terback Chuck Long played flawless football, setting two Peach Bowl Records: Total yards passing (304) and total yards (306). He dominat- ed the bowl and was named offensive player of the game while team- mate Clay Uhlenhake was the top defensive player. Few left the game or turned off their t.v. sets early. Eighteen bowl re- cords had been tied or broken and Iowa’s raging Hawkeyes ended their season in a triumphant and exciting battle. -Sue Ashton KIDNAPPED Six masked, armed thieves stormed the Bal- lymany Stud in Ireland on February 8 and kid- napped Shergar. a race- horse worth $18 million. The bandits told they were asking a ransom of $2.7 million, but the fi- gure was lowered to $51,000. Anonymous callers claimed that the horse was put down (killed) after he knocked an eye out in a trailer. But police believe the calls were phony, and the champion stud is still alive. Experts express concern that the longer the horse is missing, the greater the chances are that he will lose interest in siring foals. If Shergar is never re- turned and is killed, it will be a loss for every- one because of the foals he could have sired. -Jill Barrett HELD for a two million dollar ran- som.

To some yes. yet to others it is their daily routine. All they need is a pair of Nlkes, some sweats or shorts and then it’s off to a three mile run or a grueling weight workout. Exercise keeps the body in shape and in the past few years many have started do- ing just this. Those who are working out are not just ath- letes anymore, but everyday people, housewives, busi- nessmen and even grand- mothers. A lot of women have become interested in the new craze through Jack- ie Sorenson’s aerobics. The dancing exercising deals with the respiratory system and an emphasis on strengthening the heart. Coach Ann West suggests that taking a pulse at rest and a pulse after exercising would let a person know, ‘‘How good or bad of shape their body is really ini” The public has been catered to by society. For the more active conditioner, there is running or jogging, for plea- sure or competition. Bix, the seven-mile run, draws im- portant runners like Frank Shorter and Bill Rodgers. and a crowd of some 4.000 runners. Running in the Bix is not necessarily done to win, but just to finish and receive a T-shirt. Walkers, rollerskaters. and joggers, as well as cyclists, enjoy the cross town bike trail as an- other place to exercise. Around the Quad Cities, more and more fitness places are opening up. These are equipped with everything from saunas to squash courts. Central also has it’s own ‘‘fitness cen- ter” although most refer to it as the dungeon. It is main- ly used by the Spring athlet- ics and gym classes, who battle the limited space and air, although this years new- ly painted walls did add to the atmosphere. ‘‘True athletes will push themselves,” states Coach West. To stick to a routine of exercises, running, bik- ing, or weight lifting can be a tough task. A lesson in self discipline Is needed for both athletes and non-ath- letes. Going into a season well conditioned allows an edge over those who are just starting out.

As one member put It, “We’re good because we work at it, so we can have the satisfaction of a performance to pull us through the bad rehearsals.” Along with the third place in field competition received in Maquoketa, the band was also awarded a division 1 rating with highest point total at the state contest in Iowa City.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN TO DIVISION I RATINGS There Is more to jazz band than what meets the ear. “Jazz Is a lan- guage. explains director John Ber- natz, “you have to learn to interpret the music differently than in con- cert band. The styles of music that the band plays include authentic jazz. pop. and swing. Steve Leuthje feels that the key to playing good jazz is to play a piece both technically and stylisti- cally well. “Hayburner” and “Magic Flea” wake the otherwise dormant halls Tuesday and Thursday mornings and puts them to sleep on Tuesday nights. “All rehearsals are outside of school.” emphasizes Bernatz. Even though tryouts were set back one month, this didn’t stop the members from getting down to business and preparing for the Au- gle Jazz Festival. “The band re- ceived tremendous revues.” said Bernatz. “and because of them, the band discovered that they have the potential to be very good.” Kevin Benjamin especially enjoys jazz this year because. “I finally get solos,” he happily commented. The band will be seen all over this year. Appearances include the Iowa High School Music Festival In Mt. Pleasant, the SEIBA contest In Washington, Iowa, and a contest at Coe College in Cedar Rapids. Other concerts include the Ice cream so- cial at the levee, the variety show, back up for the show choir at open house, and other communities events such as retirement parties, etc. V 166 AFTER SURVIVING tryout� , each member muit sacrifice their morning and Tuesday evenings.

It’s coming!” and “It’s almost here!” read the signs plastered in every hall and stairway on October 11, 1982, and they couldn’t be missed. Everybody be- gan to wonder what-in-the-heck was going on. Was Student Council up to something again? No, the CHS orchestra was to open their 1982-83 season “live” In the Orville Kahler Auditorium, Wednesday, October 18 at 7:30 P.M., with their vivacious, new conductor, Charlie Abplanalp. The orchestra’s goal was to make the 1500 students and faculty aware of the fact that an orchestra did actually exist. The promotion certainly proved to be effective, as the orchestra’s first per- formance was well-attended. “In order to express emotion and play with feeling, one must feel comfortable with the other members in the orches- tra,” stated Mr. Abplanalp. To further the friendship of the group, he had a make- your-own-plzza and Halloween costume party at his home. Parties such as this were common throughout the year. The orchestra has something to offer to every music lover. Their repertoire ranges from the traditional classical mu- sic to some very jazzy pieces. Mr. Ab- planalp’s inspiration is really captured in directing these different types of music. Violoist, Carrie Smrstik commented, “After a while, his enthusiasm began to rub off on us.” The orchestra has started an epidemic here at CHS and if the high spirits and enthusiasm haven’t hit you yet, watch out; it’s contagiousl DEEP IN CONCENTRATION.

These, and many more words like them have been used to describe the faces on this page when they are seen or heard using their talents. These students’ talents are all directed In different areas, but they all have one thing in common. They are excellent at what they do, because they simply love to do it! Steve Sherwood, senior, singer, track star, and excellent student, has never had a voice lesson in his life, but can sing like a bird. “I sing because I enjoy it. I like learning the music and having a choir to sing It with,” Steve explains. He has been singing In organized choirs since he was four or five, but until fifth grade it was mostly in church. Then, he began singing in the school choirs. “Singing Is a way for me to really express myself. 1 really get involved In the music and try to become part of it,” Steve expressed. He played for the Vice-President of the United States! “Actually, it was an accident,” Tom Kamp ex- plains. “1 was a volunteer helper for Jim Leach In his campaign, and was asked by another helper to play something for the Senators during a meeting, and they liked it, so when I found out George Busch was com- ing, 1 asked if 1 could play for him. And 1 did,” Tom concludes. He be- gan playing In fourth grade on vio- lin, but the piano became his main Interest in seventh grade. “I’m defi- nitely not a perfectionist,” he says truthfully. “And I cheat myself a lot by not practicing the right way. If 1 know It’s wrong, I wait to go back and fix it.” “Once, when I was rehearsing for a play, one of the actors had to come down with no pants on, as part of his costume!” As a little girl, Jacque Hlnshaw’s parents noticed she pretended more than other kids, and intro- duced her to drama, by way of Church productions. For her, it was love at first try. “I act because I like the chance to be somebody else. I guess the satisfaction comes from the applause of the audience, telling me I’ve done a good job,” Jacque explains. “It’s also a great outlet for emotions. When I have a bad day, I Just let it all out in the rehearsals. To Jacque, the only drawback is the fact that athletes get more recogni- tion than actors, though in her opin- ion, they both require the same amount of skill and time. For Jill Barrett enjoyment and satisfaction are gained through drawing and painting. Usually, Jill will be either drawing or painting horses or wild life with pencil, wa- tercolor, and acrylics, her favorite mediums. She has won ribbons in competition at the Mississippi Val- ley Fair, and this year was selected for the Iowa High School Art Show in Iowa City. Jill started drawing In elementary school, plans to continue in college. “I hope to major In design and I might want to become a technical or medical Illustrator of some type,” stated Jill. “I knew 1 wanted to play some- thing in band.” sophomore Cathy Gish explains,” so I chose the oboe on my brother’s advice.” Cathy has been playing since fourth grade and has taken private lessons from Jack King, a local instructor and band director, since seventh grade. What does Cathy like about playing the oboe? “The challenge of being the best that I can be,” she states. “I know I wasn’t born to be good, and I work a lot harder than most. Just because It makes me happy,” she explains. SINGING IS THE OUTLET I need for my feeling . say aenlor Steve Sherwood, a he look over the new mualc for A capella. Photo by J.

Cindy May. They first unite at Camp Abe Lin- coln in August to get to know each other and to work on the song, “Brother’s and Sister’s”. Swimming with the frogs and get- ting scared by strange noises made the weekend fun. Denny Fox sum- marized, “We got a lot of work done, but had fun doing it.” ' ’ FLASHY MOVEMENTS and shining facet make Brother's and Sister’s. performed at open house, a success. NECESSARY WORK can easily be fun by working together like Dave Mann and Wendy Hyde as they sing. You Know It’s Christmas. Photo by J. Gaines. When school starts, the group spends second period preparing for concerts. Before they think about dancing, they must learn the music. When this mastered, they begin learning dance steps. May helps them with their choreography, but most of the show is designed by the group. Soon, it’s concert time. As Mrs. Riewerts gives last minute encour- agement, different thoughts are stirring. Some are nervousness, some of excitement, but all are of concentration and the hope of suc- cess. On stage, hot lights beaming upon the choir block the vision beyond stage but the presence of the audi- ence is still felt. “Now it is too late to worry,” says Jenny Scott, “the only thing left to do is to try your best to please the audience.” When the sounds of “Where Is The Love” and “If You Believe” fade away, sighs of relief and smiles of satisfaction proclaim the end of another performance.

CHILI A CAPELLA HARMONY A LA CARTE “Sit up straight!” Spit out you gum!” STOP TALKING!!” These constant reminders were only a part of A Cappella rehearsals. There was always the laughter at our own mis- takes and the joy, both of singers and director, when a song was final- ly sung just right. There was also the anxiety before a concert. As de- scribed by junior Lori Fults, the feeling was nervous, but excited, and anxious to please the audi- ence.” Junior Renae Irvin adds, I'm afraid of making a mistake, but everything always turns out okay.” Contests were also a time for anxiety. Large group, small ensem- ble, and All-State gave each mem- ber a chance to prove themselves individually, yet as a choir” as ENTRANCED BY THE SOUNDS of the A ca- pella choir, at the Messiah concert, Tim and Todd Meyer listen to the Christmas music.

In solitude, he sat talking to himself in the opening scene of the music and drama depart- ments’ production of “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown’’. Lucy’s (Suzanne Lynch) outgoing personality and wild idea of someday being the “greatest queen ever’’, pro- vided a good contrast to the “wishy- washy” Charlie Brown. However, the wit and charm of the “loveable” Snoopy (Kevin Benjamin) added a lit- tle “kick” to the show with his song and dance version of “Suppertime!” While the plot was rather uncertain during Act I. the sequence of scenes developed into a routine school day as It went from The Book Report”, at the end of the first act, to “The Base- ball Game”, after school, to Supper- tlmel”, later in Act II. “I think the characters really por- trayed their parts,” comments Jenny Scott while Suzanne Lynch retorts kld- dlngly, “This is deflnately NOT type- casting!” However, Dave Mann, who portrayed Schroeder, felt that his character was a lot like himself, be- cause “I seem to be the happiest when I’m sitting at the piano solving the world’s problems,” he explained. Knowing when to “hit the lights” or when to open the curtains, were need- ed to put on a production like “Charlie Brown” successfully. The short scenes meant fast set changes and cues to remember. “Opening night went very well-no major mistakes,” crew mem- ber Amy Swoboda commented proud- ly.

The “great” Marching Blue Devils have come in off the field and settled into their warm chairs of room 310 to begin their concert band season. The Christmas spirit took over the band as they prepared for their first concert of the season, the Mes- siah Christmas concert. Two of three pieces for the concert were newly composed combinations of Christmas carols, while the third, “Sleigh-Ride”, was most remem- bered by the Juniors and seniors. It is a tradition to play throughout a couple of weeks before vacation. Just to get everyone in the Christ- mas spirit. The annual citrus sale of grape- fruit and oranges was a great suc- cess again, especially needed to help pay for the big Florida trip over spring break. The band performs a number of times throughout the year, includ- ing some contests for individuals as well as the full band. Florida is the main source of motivation for ev- eryone now. “I remember when we went two years ago,” comments OOM PA.

The concert band had a great start for their season, and hope to end it as well, with the trip to Dis- ney World being the high point of the year. 178 f FRONT ROW: E. Miller. K. Bailey. D. Diet . Y.

It could have been our wild weekend parties or the fact that our spare moments were spent with video games and the newfangled creation called Hacky Sac. Whatever did It, school board officials have finally agreed that the CHS facilities, like students, need to be in touch with the times. The exact action to be taken is yet unclear, but proposals suggest the con version of Wood Junior High into a third high school and extensive renovation to CHS, work on both complet ed by 1985. The four main stairways would be moved to the building’s outer cor- ners in compliance with fire safety standards, and a two floor underground addition would be built between the main building and the gym nasium. The industrial arts building would eventually be torn down and the home economics building would house a school history mu- seum, faculty work area and conference rooms. Con- struction on a new practice field, complete with tennis courts, has already been completed on land bought for $502.400 In 1981. Principal Donald Fisher revealed that classes should not be extensively disrupt- ed by renovation, but if need arose, a two-shift schedule would be adopted. This would mean students would attend classes at staggered Intervals be- tween 7:00a.m. and 4:30p.m. As for Impact on the fac- ulty, Fisher notes. “Central teachers are masters at compensation. They’ve been coping with Central’s facilities for years. Renova- tion will make the environ- ment more desirable for both teachers and stu- dents.’’ With the probable addi- tion of a third high school, rumor has it that athletic and fine arts programs will suffer. If the split of Daven- port High School Into Cen- tral and West some 20 years ago is any indication, pro- grams will bounce back to previous levels of competi- tion over a period of about two years. According to a poll taken by student council, a whop- ping 71% of the 590 stu- dents that participated fa- vored the tentative plans for renovation. Another 20% dissented, and 9% were un- decided. With the school board and citizens of Daven- port finally In agreement with CHS students. Central may finally become a mirror of times rather than a relic of the past. 185 STARTING WORK on anything from welding to car mechanic , this metal working «tudent set hi flame afire to demonstrate that In- dustrial arts Is not only confined to wood and paper.

Students who like to work with their hands may find the industrial arts depart ment an area to apply or de- velop talents. Industrial Arts covers a wide range of courses, students can enroll in. These classes include subjects from auto mechan Ics. printing processes and woodworking to welding, drafting and electricity. These classes are explora tory whereas the classes of- fered at the vocational cen- ter are for Job training. Stu- dents can take courses from an introduction of a subject to the extent of starting a career. Bob Rowe, head of the industrial arts depart- ment, highly recommends drafting for those who would like to go into the field of construction. This department is well equipped for the courses taught here and try to keep abreast for new types of equipment. Traditionally, this area of the school’s clrrlculum was dominated by males. How- ever, more girls are enroll- ing in this area. Stephanie Munn, a senior, is presently taking a woodworking class. “I wanted to make a hope chest. After looking at prices, and seeing how ex- pensive they were I figured I could make one for much less.” Kurt Carlson enrolled in auto mechanics. ‘T bring my car in during lab and work on It. We have lab twice a week.” Prices, basic skills, career outlooks and hobbies are just a few reasons students take industrial courses. Rowe would like to encour- age more students to take subjects in this area since students will have to de- pend on their own skills to keep autos and homes in good condition In the future. 187 SOME PEOPLE do dare to walk the tunnel alone, as this girl shows all disbelievers that not all the bizarre rumors are fact.

Muggers patrol the tunnel, and one Is lucky to walk Its whole length and remain un- scathed. ‘‘Everyone who is not a wrestler is scared to go to Central.” stated one Pleasant Valley student. Is there any reason for any person to believe any of this? Of course not! But over a period of years, people have developed conceptions and attitudes toward Central which are neither true nor fair. ‘‘All people have to do is visit us to see that they're wrong,” says Mr. Fisher. ‘‘We have something to prove.” he further explains. “People assume that their schools in different local- ities are of a different qual- ity. They assume we have different quality because of our location.” Our location in no way dictates the atti- tudes of our students and to draw such a parallel is fool- ish. “I attend all the school functions, and our student conduct is usually far supe- rior to other schools,” ob- serves Mr. Fisher. “Pride and dignity are very identifi- able with CHS.” “It's great here. I’d rather go here than anywhere else,” feels Edith Hoffman. “This is the real world-you have all types of people and social life. It prepares you better for the real world and the future.” 189 AS A student ' second shadow dur- ing their high school years, coun- selors such as Bob Cahoy handle teens' problems In a one on one environment.

ANSWERS FROM “A” TO “Z” THE SHADOW KNOWS 190 GUIDANCE COUNSELORS: First row: Bart Becker. Larry Peters. Tom Buis. Don McGee. Second row: Bea Rosenberg, Bob Cahoy. and Geraldine Toher. Photo by Todd Kruse. THE YOUNGEST of 11 children, sophomore Steve Broun Is used to sharing his quarters and a military recruiter offers a life where this pa- tience comes In handy. Photo by Dave Ashton. Whether drug abuse, birth control, career options, or college, students can turn to their counselors for an- swers. As counselor Bart Becker notes. “A counsel- or's duties encompass ever- ything from A to Z.” Along with time consum- ing tasks such as student scheduling. CHS counselors strive to open students’ eyes to the options available after graduation. If higher education is a student’s goal, counselors advise tests such as the SAT, ACT, or ITED which result In many colleges’ entrance re- quirements. Scholarship programs are explored for those requiring financial aid. With further aid of col- lege admissions counselors, students are presented with what various colleges have to offer, and will hopefully, as head counselor Tom Buis states, “get college wise.” Each year about 5% of Central’s graduates choose to enter the military. With- out forcing the issue, coun- selors present the military as a feasible route to financ- ing a college education or receiving vocational train- ing. Military recruiters visit Central throughout the year-recruiters twice a month and various colleges are represented nearly ev- ery week. Still another alternative for students is immediate entrance Into the work world. Counselors Becker and Bea Rosenberg agree that they would rather see students explore more ave- nues in the world of educa- tion, but they refuse to force a decision upon their counselees. Occupational interest testing and partici- pation in organizations such as Explorer Scouts, are part of preparing students for the work force. Some CHS students found counselors a more integral part of life this year with the establishment of a sub- stance abuse reform pro- gram. Buis Justifies its de- velopment stating, “It’s no secret more and more kids are fooling around with sub- stance abuse, and It’s more keggers and booze than dope.” A student is ad- mitted to the program through recommendation by a counselor, teacher, par- ent. or self-referal. The stu- dent attends sessions once a week with a trained sub- stance abuse counselor until “BUT ARE there coed ...” ques- tion senior Elizabeth Miller while visiting with one of the many col- lege admissions counselors that visit CHS throughout the year. Photo by Ben Paulos. conditions improve. Although the substance abuse program has been ad- ded. the counseling staff faces a cut-back because of decreased enrollment. With the least seniority, Don McGee may either be trans- ferred to fill a position at West High or remain here if Geraldine Toher should choose to retire. When faced with such a dilemma last year, Becker and McGee both split their days into periods of teaching and counseling. Unfortunately, the effort to “buy time” as Buis states, will end next year. Becker summarizes the feelings of CHS counselors stating, “First you try to be a friend, and then you worry about getting the student enough credits to pass.” 191 WORKING FOR US INFLUENTIAL GUIDANCE 192 HEAVY RAINS brought flooding to the area below the gym where the ad- ministration is proposing to rebuild and renovate to stop the flooding.

Photo by Todd Kruse. A student must be able to pursue his goals without harmful influences in an en- vironment conducive to learning. It is the Job of the administration to maintain this environment, from cleaning the floors to deal- ing with district concerns. The administration must mediate between board-lev- el policies, parents, pupils, and faculty. “Our faculty is reliable and professional,” stated Mr. Fisher. Counseling is another fac- et of administration, and one which deals most di- rectly with the student. The counselors’ duty is to “as- sist the student to reach their highest level of poten- tial,” according to Mr. Buis, the head counselor. Coun- selors also provide students with college or vocational information and help guide the students through a suit- able curriculum to prepare them for the future. They may also offer personal counseling on problems which may or may not be school related. Studying is not the only part of high school life. The student should be able to engage in other activities of interest. It is the Job of Rog- er Brown, activities direc- tor, to coordinate these ac- tivities. He oversees all ex- tracurrlculars, from athlet- ics to ethnic clubs to publi- cations, and also books the “special attractions” that appear in our auds. “We have an administra- tive team.” says Mr. Brown. Through the work of this team, and Its newest mem- ber, Paul Massman, the stu- dent is able to pursue his education “insulated from district concerns,” as Mr. Fisher puts it. 193 TEACHERS ASSISTANTS: left to right: Dennis Robinson, Michael Dean.

The main duties of the teacher aids are doing most ly what the teachers them selves don’t have time to do. Breaking up fights and keeping the halls clear. To be a T.A., one has to have at least 2 years of college, no matter what the credits. “They don’t want fly-by- night dropouts” as Sandy Squire puts It. Why would anyone want to be a teachers aid? “The biggest thing that prompted me to take this Job was there were no other Jobs available.” explains Jane Crawford. The T.A.’s have other future career plans. Nancy Cufaude hopes to be- come a clinical psychiatrist and Michael Dean wants to get into the computer field. Burnee Pomlee and Praites Wilson, the campus supervi- sor. have common Interests in football. Pomlee has signed with the new team Chicago Blitz and will soon leave for training. Also, Wil- son played with the Quad City Blackhawks and in 1979 played for the Detroit Lions. After this year, he plans to further his educa- tion at the Western Illinois Extension Center In Rock Island. Also helping to deal with students outside of class is our delinquency counselor, Dennis Robinson, who Is studying to become a law- yer. He has finished prelaw at St. Ambrose and hopes to continue on at Pepperdlne Law School in California. Robinson discusses stu- dents problems with them Instead of sending them out on suspension. He feels the teachers have little control over students outside of class. Teacher aids give the teachers a little flexibility; they are an extension of the teachers. 195 SO LONG OLD FRIEND It’s all over now, but what happened? Did we miss anything? No, but a recap of the major events and emotions of 82-83 Is a good way to tie up the loose ends of this year's package before It Is laid aside and we move on. On the surface, the football team, a resolved bond Issue, and the new ath- letic field were the attention grabbers. Our high expectations for the football season ended just short of fulfillment when we lost the state title to Cedar Falls. Even so. we gained a conference championship and above all, an over- abundance of spirit. Again, the bond issue reared its head but was finally harnessed after the decision to renno- vate Central, and convert Wood Jr. High Into a third high school. Though major renovations haven’t begun yet, the new athletic field at the south end of campus is a sample of changes to come. As a student body, our kaleidescope of thoughts was somewhat distorted by the presence of punk rock. It added color to our dress, and its music gave us an emotional outlet like the sounds of the “Dead Kennedy’s’’. However, we generally concluded from our own opinions and from a startling article in the Blackhawk Newspaper, that punk can sometimes be a nightmare. More importantly, our thoughts relo- cated to the stirring subject of nuclear war. Classroom debates and research papers expanded our knowledge of the FANS Kris Hatfield. Dave Tallman. and Richard Brown, never lost hope at the UNI Dome, eventhough the devils walked away with a 28 0 loss. Photo by J.

We came in con- tact with it because of complaints heard from our parents, or when we went out to look for Jobs only to find that they were scarce. But even with all of these nagging circumstances, some of us refused to consistently keep in touch with the world. We sometimes anesthesized ourselves with drugs, alcohol, television, or Walkmans. The thoroughfare of the past, present, and future, exibited old experiences that gave new meaning to each of us. Whether we are sophomores, juniors, or seniors, if we realize the world’s problems plus our own, and if we have enough faith in ourselves, we can carve out a niche in life. When this happens. Central will have accom- plished its task, to make us human. Afterall, that’s what old friends are for. RAIN DIDN’T WASH OUT the enthusiasm of Jane Crawford.
