Next year the face of Central will change forever, but that’s only a superficial change. A more basic change is that Cen- tral’s population will be split between North High opening in the fall of '85 and CHS. But for now the focus is on Central; wre are “The Main Attraction.” How can we help but be “The Main Attraction”? ON THE FIELD or even sidelined with an ankle injury football standout.

Anyone who drives down Harrison Street can see the $4 2 million renovation first hand. There’s no doubt the renovation project will be great when it’s completed next year, but for now it means no student parking, and shouting over the noise of the construction. The face of Central may be changing, but some things never change. Take for ex- ample our three time state championship track team and all the otner outstanding organizations we boast. Cen- tral people are not content just watching, we actively pursue excellence. Just going to CHS and being a Blue Devil attracts atten- tion. If it weren’t for us there wouldn’t be any attraction at all. Notice how crowded the halls are? With close to 100 transfers from West and Assumption plus 200 open enrollment students the fact is clear there is something unique about CHS. What attracts these students to CHS? “Central pride and enthusiasm,” said open enrollment student Terry Swan. Because of this and much more Central un- doubtedly deserves billing as “The Main Attraction.” THESE SOPHOMORES KNEW their first foot- ball game would be explosive, but not to the point of the stadium lights blowing up and the cancella- tion of the game!

Foley’s econo- mics lectures, five paragraph themes for Writing Experiences, and dissecting frogs in biology ... but thank goodness there is more to life at Central than that! Student life is everything at Central minus the academics — like auds. football games, dances, and hobbies. If it was just- academics day in and day out we'd all be waiting in line for psychiatric treatment. What makes student life at Central special? Things like wild Mr. Holladay prancing around the gym in a gorilla get- up for the Homecoming aud. challenge cheers where even Mr. Brown loses control of 1700 screaming, spirited Blue Devils, and of course those weekly cheese fries at Rudys after the Friday night game. Really, student life is what any given individual makes it. Maybe it means guys wearing Assumption green and blue plaid skirts to the annual CHS-AHS football game or maybe it means decorating the gym with balloons and crepe paper for a dance. All it takes is a little effort from everyone to make life at Cen- tral the main attraction. So just take a step and join in the mainstream.

Students rushed through the double doors to escape the raindrops which were slowly, but steadily falling outside. As they entered the building, there was a welcoming” committee waiting for sophomores. The juniors and seniors went to the trouble of decorating good old Central with For Sale signs, pink flamingos, and toilet paper. What did the “little sophies think of this? Well, Cindy Crossen said. I thought the “welcoming” committee was wild and crazy! The sophomores may have enjoyed the attention, but it got a bit out of hand. Sophomore Heidi Olson commented. Everytime I asked a teacher where something was. I found it. Everytime an upperclassman told me. I ended up farther away from it.” The first day of school was not all spent making fun of the sophomores. Everyone was trying to search out the friends they hadn’t seen the whole summer. While trying to catch them at their lockers, students discovered new” lockers had been assigned. It was a shock for most up- perclassmen to see so- meone else opening their old locker ! The first day of school was expected to be a bit CONFUSING. After all. with renovation going on, there had to be three auds to inform students of how to get to the gym and that there would be no student parking. The first day of school put a good first impression into the minds of students. Sandy Turney exclaimed. Central didn't just live up to my expectations it was FANTASTIC! 8 LAST NAME FIRST ..explains Miss Tripp to her Physics class as they fill out book cards, a first day of school tradition which takes place in every class.

First Day of School 9 Renovate (ren’o-vat’) — to impart new vigor to: revive. Yes. for the first time since the addition of the gym in 1907 Central is being revived — and it’s costing 4.5 million dollars! But as the main attac- tion there is no question that we’re worth it. Good-bye third floor band room, good-bye cafeteria, good-bye yearbook trailer and newspaper pub.” All these places plus home economics, industrial arts, vocal music and orchestra will be relocated in the brand new addition. The construction is schedul- ed to be finished for the ’85- ’86 school year. But for now the renovation means some inconveniences for CHS students. The tunnel that once connected the gym and the main building is a thing of the past. “I hate walking to gym if it’s cold or raining. The ground gets muddy and slippery, said Tawni Simpson. The noise of the construction presented another prob- lem. said librarian, Cindy Mackenzie, The noise is very distracting. It distracts students from their work and then it distracts us from our work because we have to tell them to be quiet.” The renovation has become the most iden- tifiable symbol of this year but the sheer immensity of the project makes this large scale face-lift hard to imagine. Cement, cranes, and bulldozers construct a face- lift for an aging beauty. BOREDOM OF REGULAR school activities is broken for Nathan Gamb. Tony |ensen.

Renovation 11 12 The activities have begun and we’re almost to the awaited day. What? Did you just catch that?” Yeah, the bonfire has been cancelled because of this horrible weather.” • I was really looking forward to that hula contest.” The week of Homecoming minus the bonfire certainly related well to the theme, Almost Paradise. “The rain was really disappointing because everyone was look- ing foward to the bonfire, commented Sara Anderson. Removed from the nastiness of the outdoors, students’ spirits shined through and created a paradise at- mosphere. Paradise, hmm ... how about Hawaii? CHS students adorned themselves with an assortment of Hawaiian leis and print shirts in smashing hot pinks, glow- in-the dark oranges and fluorescent greens. And they also treated themselves to fruit pies in the celebration of paradise. The island scene con- tinued on full force into the next day for the Homecoming aud. After Kim Crone was crowned queen, she sat excitedly in her throne watching CHS’s very own rendition of Gilligans Island. Who would have guessed Amy Parkhurst to strip down from a gorilla suit to become Gilligans date for Homecoming? Mother Nature showed no sympathy whatsoever for Friday’s football game against Clinton. The wind continued without hesita- tion, blowing away the posters and streamers at the stadium. Although rain doused the bonfire, it didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the students. Their feelings outshined the gloominess of the day to make the at- mosphere at Central Almost Paradise. V IS IT JOHN Travolla and Olivia Newton John?

The decorating wound up at 1:30 p.m. as everyone rushed home to get ready for the ex- citing evening. Frantically racing around the house.

And then the fun started with pre-dance festivities such as a cocktail party given by who else but Rene Horsch. And for dinner, some enjoyed candlelight meals at home, while The Dock and Velie’s were hot spots for some other couples. Although the weather was wet and chilly, it was hard for spirits to be dampened with the tropical water fountain and the bright balloon rainbow in the gym. Chad Carr brought tears to some eyes as he sang “Almost Paradise” to Kim Crone. The first dance was a sentimental one as the queen and her court danced with their proud fathers. After pictures and more dancing, what was on everyone’s mind? Party, Party. Party!!! That’s what most thought would hap- pen. but the big parties were cancelled, so smaller ones with close friends were created. Finally the evening came to a close after some breakfast parties in the wee hours of the morning. ‘‘I’m getting tired.” and Let’s go home.” were lines familiar to many ears as a night of paradise concluded.

How about the student body yell- ing their enthusiasm at the Central-West pep aud? Or the marching band getting out on the football field and giving Central something to be proud of by winning the competition at Iowa City? What about the unbelievable turnout of red and blue clothes, hats, socks, and shoes on red and blue days? And the guys who go all out to show which school they sup- port by painting their faces red and blue? Spirit exists in as many aspects as there are people. Some say going to football games to support the team is spirit while others will argue that just suppor- ting the school in everything is spirit. Whatever way one perceives spirit, everyone must agree. Central’s got the MOST!!! 14B 14C Spirit GO DEVILS” IS the theme passing through everyone's minds as Kelly Mathcson and Annie Platter get ready to pep up the crowd at the an- nual Central-Rock Island game.

The scent drifts slowly towards you, as it reaches your nose the grumbling in your stomach is present once again. The cooks downstairs have begun their daily ritual of food preparation to feed the famished multitudes in the cafeteria. Although it's not Riefe’s homemade delights, it does satisfy the cravings of the hard work- ing students on their break from classes. For some, waiting in line in the cafeteria is not the way to spend the lunch hour. The ever popular junk food is always to be found at Omer’s or Super America, and for those who have a free period. McDonald's or Happy Joe’s is a possibility. On Friday and Saturday nights, however, it’s Rudy's in the Fast Village. This is a second choice for those who can’t find any parties and for all the sophomores who weren't invited or couldn't get in. To relieve those midmorn- ing hunger pangs, various clubs came to the rescue by selling candy bars throughout the school year. Proof of these sales laid in the bottom of some select chem lab drawers, making their own distinct chemicals. What was the most popular item in these traveling candy stores? Snickers and M M’s of course. But whether it's cooking your own steak at the Old Oakes, munching out on alfalfa sprouts, or inhaling a pound of Nacho Cheese Doritos, it's all mmm. mmm good! - ANYTIME IS THE right time for Whitey's. and Andrea Kreiter and Amy Bolich take advantage of their lunch hour to try a chocolate and M-M shake, just one of the many specialty shakes at Whitey's.

He had a classic case of cauliflower ear which he received from listen- ing to Bruce Spring- steen's Born in the USA” tape on his Walkman for three weeks straight! Has this happened to anyone you know? Probably not such a severe case, but up there with homework and parties, music played a major role in the lives of most Central students. But that is not to say music meant the same thing to everyone. From videos to buying records to concert-going, music is in the air. Music not only exists in different forms, but it influenced students to- day. MTV influenced teenagers’ hairstyles, clothing, dancing, driv- ing. and the way they act. Students glued themselves to the tube for hours just to see videos like Police's Synchroncity” and Van Halen’s Panama. Another way which music influenced teens N was the start of local bands. Two such bands were the popular Max Stout with Mike Lucas and another group made up of Hans Svebakken. Eric Olson. Manny Matthews and Mike Able. Two of the major groups which have made 1984 memorable were Prince and the Revolution along with the Cars. Prince took the world by storm star- ring in his first movie, Purple Rain.” Topping the charts were his songs. When Doves Cry, and Let's Go Crazy. The Cars rolled off excellent songs such as Drive and Magic. One student commented. The Cars are the group of tomorrow.” So as one can see music takes many different forms. Yet somehow in one way or another it touched everyone's life. Even if it meant a trip to the hospital with a case of cauliflower ear! CHEMISTRY.

Music 21 Hosting three evenings of song and dance, the Kahler Auditorium came alive with a variety of talent. You may have thought you were in a Las Vegas nightclub listening to brilliant vocalists, or maybe at a rock concert being crushed by thousands of screaming fans. Maybe you were sharing “Tea For Two” with the CHS tubas, taking a vacation in Tahiti, or tapping your foot to strains of Blue Grass music. Actual- ly, you could have experienc- ed all these things at once by attending the CHS Variety Show Anything Goes. It all started with the audi- tions held several weeks before the show during finals week in January. The wide range of talent that turned out for the auditions promised a well-rounded show. As band director John Bernantz said. An im- portant part of this year’s show was that there were no individual standout acts. They were all ___________________________________________________________y good. The variety show has always been an opportunity for students at CHS to share their talents with others and this show was no excep- tion. The show was held together by MC’s Eric Engstrom and Matt Dean whose humorous comments added a lighter side to the program. Variety was really the name of the game with acts such as the rock band M-KALM. highlighted by Mark Anderson’s drum solo, a touching duet by Nikole Anderson and Mark Good- win. and a literally moving performance by Hawaiian dancer Mafeth Yray. By closing night ticket sales exceeded $2500. Not only was the Variety Show a suc- cess monetarily, but most im- portantly it was a big hit with the audience.

Variety Show 23 r Make-up, braces, exercising, and dieting are just a part of the catching self- improvement fever. V. “I’ve gotta do something with this hair! “I really should lose weight! I can’t wait to get my braces off!” Everyone has heard such comments at one time or another — especially since today’s world is so beauty- conscious. It seems as though a majority of the students at Central High School are striving for an improvement of some kind. Everyone is constantly trying to improve themselves even if it's done unconsciously. For girls that new outfit which flatters their figure, and all those trips to the make-up counter are a few ex- amples of the things done to help maintain that “put together look. For the guys those long, hard hours spent in the hot. smelly weight room, those sharp hair- cuts. the great fitting jeans and oxfords are all signs that prove they are trying to update their appearance. All of those trips to the orthodontist to get the braces tightened may seem like a hassle now. but think how much better straight teeth will look. Said Amy Park hurst, With all the flashy smiles these days. I see no reason to be ashamed of my braces. Another popular im- provement which may also seem somewhat of a hassle are contact lenses. However, it seems as though everyone is getting them these days. “Not only are contacts more asthetic, they're certain- ly better for my tennis game.” said Barb Lammers. Although it is said beau- ty isn’t only skin deep, if people think they look good and are confident with their appearance, they’ll be able to project a much more positive, optimistic image. •CIRCLES FORWARD ...

Self Improvements 25 r Are you caught running home, grabbing a box of 40 Hostess Twinkies. in- dulging yourself with a six-pack of Pepsi and a bag of Doritos just in time to watch, of course, what else but the Brady Bunch?!” Even though you've seen every rerun at least 87 times, it still catches your attention! Why? We’ll never know. There's more to after- school life than that. Oh come on. Wake up and smell the coffee! You can busy yourself with school sports, student council, after-school jobs, shopping (everyone's favorite pastime, otherwise known as spending money) and exercising, yes, there are people who actually do that. But why? It gives me a chance to think about things that I usually wouldn’t take time for. I think that the physical aspect is just as impor- tant as the mental, said Tammy Felts. And of course after school is a time for lots and lots of social life. Oh yeah, it's also a time for that dreadful stuff they call homework. Homework, although most people dread it, is one of the many factors of high school life. After school is also a time to walk the dog, wash the car, or talk on the phone to catch up on last week's gossip which passed over your head. All in all, after school is a time of your own and a time to pursue dif- ferent opportunities even if it does mean grabbing for that box of 40 Hostess Twinkies, a six-pack of Pepsi, and a bag of Doritos — go for it!

Tradition was broken when the annual Spree aud was held three separate times in the auditorium, instead of once in the gym. “For the firs time in three years, I coulc actually hear what was goinj on!” confessed senior Davie Lehner. Because of Saturday morninj basketball practice, the decorating process was slightly delayed, but there were plenty of other things tc do. The duct tape was gone before 11 a.m., and by noon it was time for a Burger Kinj break. With full stomachs the workers wove a “big top of multi-colored streamer: which covered the entire gym. The tedious proces: took over three hours, anc even though it was proelucec by only a few. it was ap- preciated by all.

Spree 2 9 Now it’s time to take an intermission and direct our attention to the world outside of CHS. Included here are some of the news highlights of the year, so take a look at the stories and re- member how each one affected you. Golden Glory in L.A. On July 28. 1984. with the exception of Libya and the U.S.S.R.. the world came to Los Angeles. For sixteen days, the world's finest athletes assembled to represent their country in the most grueling of all contentions, the XXIII Olympic Summer Games. Around 93,000 spectators were on hand for the opening ceremonies, each unknowing that they would become the victims of a spectacular card trick. The entire audience, not to mention the millions of T.V. viewers, were in awe as the crowd transformed itself into the flags of 140 nations. The climax of the ceremony occurred when the athletes began their march. Greece led the way. and all the other nations fell in alphabetically behind. But the best was saved for last as the 573 members of the U.S. team brought up the rear. The traditional Olympic torch was carried into the Coliseum by Jesse Owens' granddaughter. Gina Hemphill. Although the show was over, the Games had just begun, and the passion for victory was rising. Each participant wanted a taste of winning, but in an event as special as the Olympics, not one of the contestants could be considered a loser. Competition may have been the highlight, but this rare get-together symbolized much more. The intense international spirit aroused a message that Peter Ueberroth, chief organizer, guessed to be world |M� ace and understanding. We shed tears of agony along with Mary Decker when she was cut-off by Zola Budd in the 3000 meter race. Our knuckles went white gripping whatever was in reach as the woman's volleyball team advanced to the finals. to be defeated by China. But along with the painful agony came the “thrill of victory.” The familiar strains of the Star Spangled Banner rang proudly each time a gold medal was given, and the U.S. collected a multitude. Even before she scored a perfect 10 to grasp the gold in all around, gymnast Mary Lou Retton had charmed one and all. Everyone was ecstatic when the men's teams gripped the gold in volleyball and gymnastics. And who could possiblv forget Carl Lewis with his four gold medals in track and field. But each and even- athlete had a small story of their own to coniribute to the history of the Games. Although tin history can't be repeated, one wouldn't complain if these two weeks were. — Elizabeth Berger 30 “I SAW A green ghostly apparition flying around the classroom.

Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis as the ghost- chasing trio based in N.Y.C. Along with the movie, the theme song by Ray Parker. Jr. and the video were big hits nationwide. The familiar emblem, symbolic of the movie, graced the front of millions of T-shirts and Ghostbusters paraphernalia was in full force all across the country. The flick also sparked some j)oj)ular quotes such as. I ain’t 'fraid of no ghosts.” and of course. Who ya gonna call? along with a few amusing unmentionables victory right from the start. And victory it was. a landslide victory to be exact, with Reagan taking the electoral vote from every state except Minnesota and the District of Columbia. The early conflict in the Democratic party between Mondale. Hart, and jackson resulted in a split of party loyalty. Many Democrats were turned off by the vicious mudslinging that went on in the primaries. Thanks to Geraldine Ferraro. 1984 will be remembered as the first year in which a woman was a candidate for Vice-President. But after this muttered in high points of the movie. Ghostbusters ran for many weeks, from July well into the school year and in many cities it was sold out for weeks at a time. In New York City for example, hundreds waited in 95 degree heat in hopes of seeing the hilarious comedy. Back home in the Quad Cities, multitudes flocked to wait in similar lines at the Showcase Cinemas in Milan. The Ghostbusters craze swept the nation and CHS alike, grossing millions of dollars at box offices across America — qualifying it as one of the all-time biggest box office attractions. — Alex Elias election, we know a female candidate is not guaranteed the vote of all women. Incumbancv had a strong effect on voting patterns as seen by the outcome of many local elections. Of course there are always exceptions as Tom Markin showed when he defeated incumbent Roger Jepsen for Iowa's senatorial seat. With no campaign ads. debates, or national conventions, television seemed almost boring after the election, but enjoy it while you can. 1988 isn't so far away! — Cathy Gish Intermission 31 What’s New in Space? Scared of heights? If you are. toting around a 1200 pound satellite 225 miles above the earth is probably not for you. But for the four man. one woman crew of the space shuttle Discovery, it was a piece of cake. News of the satellite recovery flashed on screens and papers across the country. After all. it was quite a remarkable chore to rescue two faulty telecommunication satellites from their useless orbits. NASA spent $5.5 million designing a way to rescue the satellites which had been launched on an earlier Challenger voyage. When Discovery came within 35 feet of the first faulty satellite in mid-November, it was time to put the plan into action. With his MMU (manned maneuvering unit). Astronaut Joseph Allen approached his destination equipped with a stinger, a spaceage lance used to spear tne satellite. When it was time to hoist the satellite into Discovery's cargo bay, the shuttle’s mechanical arm failed. But humans took over where the machine failed and finally the satellite was ready for its trip home. As if one wasn’t enough to make the news. Discovery was at it again and Satellite Number Two was rescued. AFTER STANDING ON Ellis Island for nearly 100 years, the Statue of Liberty's beauty has begun to fade, but not for long. Photo: N. Keeling. Liberty Revived! October 28.1986 will mark th 100th Anniversary of one of America’s foremost monuments, the Statue of Liberty. For immigrants coming to America, Miss Liberty was a monument depicting their hard won freedom. But. 98 years of sun. rain, wind, and snow have taken their toll on this symbol of American freedom. Her iron framework and copper skin have begun to rust and corrode so badly that she became a symbol of shame fo all Americans. Through advertisements and celebrity endorsements. Americans have begun to wake up to her predicament. Private individuals, businesses, and organizations such as the Central High German Club, who donated $200, have begun to provide the money needed to restore the statue to her former glory by replacing her rusting iron frame with stainless steel, building a new torch, and installing two new elevators in the base. These needed improvements will help to insure that Miss Liberty will remain the proud symbol of America. — Mike McConnell It’s O.K. to be S. Students had two conflicting views concerning the satellite recovery. According to Andy Bruch, tne feat was a technological advance of great magnitude. On the other hand. Dan Brune said. ‘‘I wasn’t so impressed. If the can put a man on the moon then surely they can pick up a satellite. It was in 1958 when the Explorer I went down in history as the first satellite launched by the U.S. Now. some 27 years later, the U.S. is making history by recovering satellites. What next? — Cathy Gish Only when a crash kills or injures a friend ora relative does the problem seem to hit home. Alcohol-related fatalities, which now account for nearly half of highway deaths, are on the rise. Central has not gone untouched by this national trend. For the past ten years, almost one student per year has been seriously injured or killed in alcohol-related accidents. This was one of the factors which influenced the formation of a Students Against Drunk Driving Chapter, S.A.D.D., at Central. This group’s message: If you drink, don’t drive; and if you drive don’t A.D.D. drink. S.A.D.D.’s aim is not to stop people from drinking but to stop people from drinking and driving. Said Steve Brown, I don’t want to lose anyone else in my class, and I believe S. A.D.D. is going to help stop the problem. — Chris Johnson Cindy Shelton ii PASSIONED WITH PENNANT ver.

This event was the supposed murder of Joyce Klindt by her husband. James Klindt. It all started when Joyce Klindt was reported missing. Later, when a woman's torso was found floating in the Mississippi River, suspicions were raised. Coincidentally. Klindt was seen on his airboat near Princeton carrying garbage bags prior to the discovery of the torso. Passers-by were amazed to see anyone out on the river on such a stormy day. And then of course the marital problems between the Klindts were exposed. During a taped dialogue which the QC Times reprinted in full. Klindt actually threatened to kill his wife arid cut her into little pieces. It seemed that from the time the crime was committed, to Klindt's prosecution, a paper couldn't he picked up that didn’t mention something related to the case. Because of this. Klindt's trial was moved to Keokuk to insure the impartialness of the jury. But after hours of deliberation, a decision could not be reached. The result — a hung jury. Then it was on to a second trial in Sioux City where Klindt was found guilty and sentenced to 50 years in prison. The opinions and insights of the students at CHS varied greatly. Sally Turner said. “I tnink the press focused on the story too much. The Klindt's’ privacy was invaded and I'm still not convinced he killed his wife. Chris Witte agreed about the degree of trial publicity, and said. Although the case was overpublicized, it made people more aware of the type of people that can live in the Quad Cities. There are murderers here just as there are in Chicago. New York, and all over the country. On the other hand. Bob Beghtol said. I'm sure he was guilty. Everyone took a side in the Klindt case and humor resulted. By the way have you heard the latest Klindt joke? Why did James Klindt plead self-defense? He said his wife came at him with a tree. — Hans Svebakken Cathy Gish Tainted Crown Another chapter in the tale of the porn king and the beauty queen — a real life story with a not so happy ending. In the September issue of Penthouse. Bob Guccione published sexually explicit pictures of our first black Miss America. Vanessa Williams. For Guccione. the pictures produced an infamous victory as Penthouse raked in $24 million, but for Vanessa, it was a bitter defeat. Besides losing her title as Miss America, she lost millions of dollars, a long time boyfriend, and a great deal of respect. Although hounded by the press. Vanessa held her head high and said. I'm going to fight if it takes my last dime. I'm fighting for my life and for the people I've let down. I have made a terrible error in judgement, and I know I’ll have to pay for it all my life. — Barb Lammers Intermission ADAM ANT. DAVID Bowie. The Cars ... With her paycheck in her purse.

An estimated 900,000 people died from famine in 1984. with the major killer being malnutrition. The devastating famine in Ethiopia was caused by a four year severe drought all across North Africa. The harsh reality of the famine and also a little Christmas spirit began the gears of progress turning for the famine-gripped Ethiopians. People from major European nations and the United States sent donations to various groups who were assisting the hungry in Ethiopia. In Iowa alone, the Iowa Campaign to Aid Relief of Ethiopian Starvation (CARES) which started its program on Thanksgiving Day. brought in over six hundred thousand dollars. People from all walks of life and all ages have made donations towards the cause Famous rock stars banded together and produced a record with all royalties going to Ethiopians. Band-Aid a group composed of forty musicians from different, mainly British, rock groups was organized by Bob Geldof. leader of the Boomtown Rats. Members involved were from Bananarama. Duran Duran, Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Culture Club. Wham. Kool and the Gang. and many more. Do They Know It’s Christmas?” was the record which was the fastest selling number one single and raised millions of dollars.

More than 2500 people were killed when a cloud of poisonous gas. mehtyl isocynate, was accidently released over the Indian town of Bhopal, by a Union Carbide pesticide plant. In all. 150.000 people were treated by hospitals and clinics in the Bhopal area. Most of the victims had drowned to death because the gas causes the lungs to fill with fluid. When the full magnitude of the tragedy had been measured, the clean-up began. Bodies could not be buried or cremated fast enough. Dead animals, bloating in the sun. clogged the city's roads, raising tne grim spector of bubonic plague. Union Carbide executives were sent to investigate the accident. They were immediately arrested and charged with negligence and criminal corporate liability. In the wake of these allegations, there will be the inevitable law suits, one asks for $15 billion to aid the Bhopal victims. Perhaps the only good to come of this tragedy is a resolve across India that the episode not be repeated. Said new Prime Minister Rajiv Ghandi. We are concerned not only about this plant, but about other places across India. The disaster sparked fears in the U.S. about safety standards in industries and safety reviews were begun almost immediately across the country. A chemical industry spokesman said. We have to accept reasonable risks in order to reap reasonable benefits. Knowing the benefits is easy. The hard part is achieving acceptable odds on the risks. — Chris Johnson BOSS With 1984 being the election year. Bruce Springsteen could hot have made a better choice in releasing his “Born in the U.S.A. album. Filled with flag- waving anthems, the album sold very well, and stayed | erched atop the charts for many weeks. With the album also came a new first for the Boss. Dancing in the Dark became Springsteen's first ever video and within a week was in the � 1 slot on the MTV Top Twenty Countdown. The mass exposure received through the video helped in making the Born in the U.S.A. Tour” one of the hottest around, competing with the |acksonsand Prince. Every show on the tour was sold-out, and a string of ten shows at the Jersey Meadowianas was sold out within hours, setting a new ticket selling record. The Boss did make one local appearance in Ames, but it r sold-out quickly, and only those lucky ticketholaers got the chance to view the explosive four hour show. Along with the music came Springsteen's true spirit of helping people. At each show a food donation was set up and he urged his fans to help out the needy. And on many occasions, the Boss himself donated money, including a $10,000 donation to the steelworkers in Pittsburgh. Oliver Ivory, who went to the Ames concert said. It was a spectatular experience seeing somebody as great as Bruce Springsteen sing. You could tell he was dedicated to his music and there's no other way to describe it besides great — the best concert I've ever been to.” — Scott Young Intermission 35 Craig Shines Did you see the January 28th issue of Sports Illustrated? Well CHS has alwavs been known for its star athletes, but for former Cl IS standout Roger Craig to make the cover of such a magazine is a remarkable honor. Roger scored a record breaking three touchdowns in Super Bowl XIX to help the San Francisco 49’ers crush the Miami Dolphins 38-16. All through high school, this 6 foot. 222 pound fullback was overshadowed by his older brother Curtis Craig, and after he received a scholarship to Nebraska. Mike Rozier kept him from the limelight. Before the Super Bowl began. O. J. Simpson was correct in saying that he thought Roger was overlooked and that he may surprise a few people. Not only did Roger score three touchdowns, he rushed 15 times for 58 yards and caught 8 passes for 82 yards, totaling 140 yards in total offense. Davenporters were rooting for Roger to receive the MVP of the Super Bowl. but it was no real surprise when quaterback Joe Montana was given the honor. Former CHS football coach Jim Fox always said Roger was a team player and not out for individual recognition. Well it's hard to imagine Roger's talent was overlooked until now. but Fox said. “1 thought if anybody could make it. he could. This statement couldn't be true enough as Davenporters will look back and remember that someone famous started here. After seeing 33 on TV all night, it wasn't surprising for Roger's mother. Ernestine Craig to be on the phone until 1:00 am talking to people she didn’t even know that called to congratulate her on her son’s super performance. Super Bowl XIX was indeed super. Let's hope CHS continues to produce top quality athletes like Roger Craig in the years to come. No doubt we will. — Nancy Keeling SIX YEARS AGO Roger Craig was scoring touchdowns for the Blue Devils.

How else would you know that the smallest Great Lake is Ontario? — Nancy Keeling Local Hero Have you gone on a ferryboat lately ? Although there isn't one in Davenport anymore, you can go to the art gallery to see the IV. J. Quinlan, the ferryboat that used to travel between Davenport and Rock Island. The Quinlan fell apart many years ago but its memory is kept alive by a beautiful painting done by Paul N. Norton. Though Norton has now died his memory is kept alive through the Quinlan. Last August while most of us were enjoying the few days left of summer vacation. Paul Norton had a stroke and was hospitalized tintil he died on September seventh at the age of 75. That evening and the following day. the Quad City Times paid tribute to him oh the front page. Most Central students identify him as the guy who painted that picture of Central. But his works went far beyond painting schools. Norton has done most, if not all. of the riverboats in the Quad City area, he has also done manv national and local landmarks. Of course, the painting that gave him his start was the Quinlan. He sold one cony of it to the Davenport Art Gallery in the early sixties and he let the gallery sell prints of it for commission. The money earned goes to the Children s Art Fund. Norton used to be a commercial artist in charge of the Art Department at Desaulniers Printing in Moline. He was constantly- being asked to paint pictures for various reasons, including one of the White House where he met President Reagan in 1983. His wife. Lucy Norton, said. He used to say. 'It's surprising what my paintbrush gets me into sometimes'. It's hard to say what can keep somebody painting for over half a century'. Whatever his inspiration was he will always be greatly appreciated and cherished by the people of the Quad Cities’ Although Norton has died, he has captured the magic of artists by leaving behind him endless watercolors to be remembered by. — Mary Branch Q.C. in Slump For the nation it was a year for recovery and in some cases for rejoicing. Unemployment dipped, interest rates dropped slightly and inflation was maintained at a tolerable 2.8% for the year. Many businesses raked in the profits as the American consumer enjoyed an estimated 5.9% rise in real disposable income. That is. the money people have after taxes. The Gross National Product, an indicator of how strong our economy is. reached an all time high since the great depression. All this fueled feelings of prosperity and confidence which propelled Ronald Reagan into office fora second term. However for many in the Quad Cities, economic recovery' seemed a long way off. Out of a labor force of 185.000.11%. 20.500 are out of work. The worst agricultural slump since the depression is five years old and it has exhausted this area's economy. International Harvester closed its huge tractor plant where 3600 people once worked, as part of Tenneco Inc. planned $430 million purchase of the Harvester farm equipment business. Mayor Jim Davis said. The Lord is testing us. The Quad Cities' economy has been in steady decline since 1983 mostly due to a poor farm economy, which directly affects this areas major industry, agricultural implement manufacturing. Gary Wilson of Job Service saief. The farm economy is the pits. I don't foresee an upswing in the economy until December of 1985. — Chris Johnson CENTRAL IS NOT just a high school, it is a work of art accor- ding to Paul Norton.

But does that mean we’re all the same? Of course not, it’s because we have such a mixture of people; black and white, athletes and intellectuals, college-bound and job- bound, and rich and poor that Central is such an interesting school to go to. We’ve never been sheltered from the realities of life or pampered by our surroundings, but that has not prevented us from excelling not just as a school but also on the individual level. And it’s the individuals that we’re featuring now. Look at each of the small pictures in the coming pages, none of us are the same, but we are all special. Central is the sum total of 1722 individuals, without us there is nothing. So turn the page and look at who we are. Mainly Us 39 ABOVE ALL OTHERS Four years and 12.5 credits ago we received various speeches on how high school would mold us into the fine adults that we are today. Seniors? Adults? Well. yeah, that's what we are — seniors! Webster's New Col- legiate Dictionary defines us as above others in rank. That's us. We're finally at the top. The class of '85 comes alive! How does it feel to be a senior? Geez. it seems like it was only 1095 days ago when we were searching for Room 401. tripping up the stairs, and searching for the elevator. Now 26.280 hours later, we find ourselves a bit more confident, ar- riving late to classes, and being 50 times lazier wishing there was an elevator. Next year CHS will have an elevator when the renovation's completed, care to stick around? We're thankful we won't have to worry about any of these new requirements, the closed campus. or the big split. Just what do seniors care about? Apply- ing to colleges? Looking for a job? But who has time for all that with parties, homework, and trying to impress the underclassmen? Heck, we had to have decided about college by Thanksgiving if we wanted any help from our counselors — after that they had to start helping the juniors and sophomores with schedules. But exactly how would one describe our class of '85? Like every other senior class, the class of '85 has its jocks like Rodney Taylor, its intellectuals like Rachel Rosario, and its clowns like )ohn Mohr. (Featured in this section are ten seniors who were nominated by their classmates as representative of the class of ’85.) But all 506 of us share one unique circumstance. Because of the opening of the new North High next year, we will be the last to graduate from 1120 Main, as it’s been known fc over 80 years. This is our year, and w are the main attraction, even if th sophomores and juniors have troubl admitting it. Think back to our first day as seniors .. remember the masking tape on th floor? One side of the hall sai SENIORS and the other side sai OTHERS. Too bad things couldn have stayed that way. The class of '85 proved its school spir by winning the challenge cheer at th Homecoming aud. The judging was a b biased though. We all knew th sophomores out-cheered us. but w deserved it. we're seniors! It took us three years to make it wher we are. but we can be proud c ourselves. As the Main Street door close behind us. millions of others ope for us because we are the mai: attraction.

Principal's 46 IN THE SPOTLIGHT Is He Serious? Who's the funniest guy at Central? The answer may be debatable but the yearbook vote goes to John Mohr. Let's take a look at the real John Mohr, the shy. sensitive, in- trovert. For instance, where does his humor come from? It was given to me by a bum downtown. He was done with it. Well, so much for shy and sensitive. Come on John, after three years at Cen- tral. how do you feel about CHS? CHS. what's CHS? No seriously, it is a fine institution of learning and it has prepared me for anything and everything. So what do you do in your spare time? Homework ... unless I have anything else to do.” Anything is pretty broad, let's nar- row it down. John's a member of the cross country and track teams. as well as president of D-mens. Not surprisingly. John says. Coach Ira Dunsworth and runner Bill Rodgers have had the most in- fluence on his life, followed by comedian Steve Martin, of course. No matter where you see him John looks like he's having fun. Whether it's on the gym floor play- ing Gilligan in the Homecoming Aud or just walking in the halls. John Mohr is one of the people who makes Central the main attraction. What's Central mean to John Mohr? A place to have lunch with the gang and maybe learn a little bit on the side.” Is he joking or is he serious? Sometimes it's hard to tell but his title as clown-prince at CHS remains unchallenged.

Seniors 47 IN THE SPOTLIGHT BIIItillH J j ' Acting on Acting is too risky and the chances of getting a job are slim.” claims Julie Rice. “I wouldn't want to waste time working as a waitress because I couldn't get a job.” In- stead. Julie plans on a major in theatre at the University of Iowa in order to become a drama teacher. After college. Julie plans to return to Davenport and put her talent to work. I want to teach junior high school students because it is easier to create a foundation than it is to build upon one. she says. Know- ing how bored students get. Julie hopes to make drama more in- teresting and fun. then the kids would learn more. I would like to be a positive in- fluence on my students. says Julie. Julie recognizes the impor- Influence tance of this because she herself was positively influenced by her ninth grade drama teacher. Mr. Naab. Julie remembers going to the Sound of Music in ninth grade. The play was performed by Marycrest College and Mr. Naab assumed the role of Captain Von- Trapp. Julie enjoyed the perfor- mance so much that she became interested in drama. Julie has played Julie in Sister's McIntosh Marion Bradford in “A Handful of Rainbows she was also a royal dancer in “The King and I.” For the first five or so lines, Julie is nervous and her hands and voice shake. Her advice is to forget about the audience and get in- volved in the character then you forget about the people.” John Graham Cara Graved Matthew Green |anine Griffin lames Grobstick Shirley Groves Timothy Guizar Mary Cusman Cindy Hachmann Mary Beth Hadley ERIN GIPPLE: Tennis 10.12.

Sounds just like an ordinary person right? Wrong. Bradley is active in Student Coun- cil and APP chemistry but what makes him so unique is his love for life. When asked what he wanted to accomplish for the year he didn’t just say good grades or a lot of money” but rather I want to end out the year with the best class, make even more friends and create a loving atmosphere.” Bradley has a way of getting more out of things than just their face value, like his experience in STUCO. I learned that STUCO affects everyone and I learned understanding. You can be a leader and be forceful without be- ing harsh. Bradley plans to go to the Univer- sity of Iowa to major in Pre- medicine with a minor in business. For now. Bradley’s main interest is in socializing. I think Central is the best school in the U.S. and I feel I can learn a lot from everyone I meet. I would go crazy if I was isolated from people.” In short. Bradley is one of those people you only meet once in your life, ready, willing and able to give love to everything he does. I want everyone around me to be happy. Life is meant for everyone to enjoy.” Laura Nation Mark Nation John Nauman jean Nelson Shad Nelson Deborah Neuser Tarita Newman Brian Nichols Raymond Nickel!

Musical Productions Seniors IN THE SPOTLIGHT Reaching for Goals I’m good at setting goals but not very good at reaching them.” said Angie Fuhs. Well, if that’s the case she fooled all of Central. Whether she admits it or not Angie is good at reaching goals. What else can you call being a starter on the var- sity basketball team and being a jjrominent band member, while still maintaining a high grade point average and working part-time at Dairy Queen? If that’s not reaching goals, what is? Central was lucky to have gotten its hands on Angie. She was one of only about ten students to come to Central from Smart Junior High. My friends felt sorry for me because Central had the reputa- tion of being a ‘dangerous’ school. she said. But now Angie's friend: from West are envious of her. Anc rightly so. As first chair clarinet. Angie ad mits that band, especially march ing band, is hard work, but it’s als very rewarding. When she's no marching with the band or practic ing for small group contest. th skilled clarinet player turns into c skilled basketball player. Not onl does this keep Angie in shape bu it also makes for a good time. It’s Angie's involvement in Centra that makes her a main attraction I want to be known as ar achiever.” she says, not someone who is just floating through high school.” Angie Fuhs is definitely not a floater!

John Gengler is an expert on why Central is the main attraction. I had friends at Central and they told me how great things were here. When he made the switch as a junior, he was pleased but unsur- prised. The teachers here at Cen- tral are better at getting involved with the students. The atmosphere is academic but also very relaxed. I’ve really enjoyed myself.” Here at Central. John has gotten involved in debate and student council. He enjoys debate because of the competitive spirit and because it gives him a chance to make new friends. John says that he enjoys being a part of what's go- ing on in the school and student council is one way of ac- complishing this. I feel I support Central by promoting fun activities for the student body. As a true capitalist and believer in the free market system. John's goal is to make lots of money. This might be made possible through a career in law. He also thought of following in the footsteps of his hero Dwight Eisenhower by run- ning for public office. IEILSCHIPPERS: Golf 12.

No Central-West aud. No class reunions. Sounds pretty dismal, doesn't it? Well, thanks to the careful planning of the senior class officers, we never had to worry about the absence of these CHS traditions. What made our 1985 senior class officers especially qualified for their jobs? We're all well in- formed. said Class President Jay Justin. He was quick to note that class president is just a word and only what he himself made it. When jay said well informed he was not mistaken. He was representative of athletics. Vice- President Bradley Thomas represented STUCO. Treasurer Shyla Swan represented the band. and. well. Secretary Howard Miller represented everything else! Recognition of all the seniors was an important goal of the class of- ficers. One of the purposes of hav- ing class officers at all, was that of helping the class establish its identity. According to some teachers the class of '85 might have had an identity crisis but to the seniors our involvement and awareness made us stand out. Shyla Swan fully understood her duties as class treasurer when she said. Because of organizing class reunions.

Seniors are not immune to death. We all know the story, a thrown drink, running a red light — not uncommon occurrences until they ended in the death of Mike Gerischer on November 5. For ten days he lay in a coma, but he wasn’t alone. Even' day concerned friends stopped by the hospital. Mr. Fisher came on the announcements one morning to express his sorrow, for the first time the entire Humanities cla actually listened to the announcement all of Central was silent for those fe moments. It was not a time to grieve bi a time to remember. A time I remember Mike out for the swim teai with his head shaved, lifeguarding ; Garfield swimming pool, or just smilir and walking down the hall (with a gii no doubt!) No. it wasn't a time to strike out at deatl it was a time to appreciate life and th 17 year contribution Mike Gerische made to the lives of all who knew him.

Seniors 65 TIME OF TRANSITION We are the juniors, the middle child — old enough to know better but young enough to do it anyway. Newly elevated from the status of sophomore, we faced the year with en- thusiasm. not overcome by such trivial inconveniences as a new grading policy, having to walk two miles around the campus just to get to the gym. not to mention facing a split of our class in '85-86. As junior Peggy Fiedler said. The junior class is full of life and has spirit that not many classes can equal.” In facing this year, we began to start the rest of our lives. Torn between studying and wanting to party, we had to learn the meaning of self-discipline, sometimes the hard way. In junior high, they don’t teach you good study habits. In your sophomore year, you find out you do have to study for tests, and it’s hard to make that adjustment. Once you are in your junior year, it comes a lot easier. said junior Nathan Gamb. After the ITEDs were taken we found out any illiterate junior could pass the tests as long as he knew the pattern which repeated every 18 questions. We had to start worrying-about college, and most of all. the future. There’s mo pressure to handle in preparing for tl future.” said junior Emily Doyle. “Wh am I going to do with my life? hi become an important question. Our junior year has been a time • development and growth — we’ started to make that transition fro: teenagers to young adult. The juni year seems to bring a more secure fee ing to most students, said junior Lor: Hippie. We have begun to find oi places in life and are learning to cop with life’s everyday anxieties.

SOPHOMORES! You ask who we are? Coming to Central on the first day was an exciting moment, not to mention a lit tie scary. To most people it is the belief that we are only little kids coming in from junior high and not knowing anything. Contrary to people’s belief the role of the sophomore has changed. Having had brothers and sisters or friends at Central we knew what to expect and what was to be expected of us. We are no longer in question about our advancement to Christopher Abbitt Robert Adkisson Leah Airington Clint Albright Wendy Albright Timothy Alexander Susan Allard Melissa Allen Sonia Allen Billie Anderson Charles Anderson Peggy Anderson Renee Anderson Michael Anthony Gwenna Archer Rory Armstrong Anna Arnold Michael Arvidson Pamela Atkinson |anet Babb Margene Baetke Carrie Baggerly Catherine Bagnall Michael Bagnall Christine Bailey Timothy Bailey Joseph Baker Elisa Banda Robert Bass Gerald Beaulieu Herbert Begeske Bridget Bell Jeffrey Benjamin Deborah Bennett Jeffrey- Benson Chris Berger Milon Berry Kimberly Bird Michael Birkholz Elizabeth Bishop changed the image of the sophomore from that of being the dumb, flaky, unaware student to that of a class of students who have enough spunk, class, and determination to succeed and sur- pass classes before and after us. Knowing that Central has a leading vocal and instrumental program, an athletics program that can out-do most others with the girls swim team boasting 8 out of 10 sophomores on the varsity team alone, and the sophomore football team tying for conference champions makes us proud to be sophomores. Lauren Carr stated. We no longer hav any little kids' stuff. These are only few of the factors why sophomore choose to come to Central. In all actuality high school is only mere extension of junior high Sophomores have learned to adapt t the change of pace from junior high t that of high school. The class of ’87 : determined to uphold the traditione high standards of Central and to kee spirit growing from our class and classe to come.

One of the reasons this place is the Main Attraction is because of the excellent faculty and ad- ministration. Just check it out. Take your average off-the-wall sophomore, equip him with a typical schedule at Central, allow him enough time to try all his tricks, and assume he will run into some friendly but firm authority figures. After three years one wouldn’t recognize the former sophomore. What we have on our hands now is a first rate human being ready for the world. Let's get specific. It's burdensome to mention every teacher and ad- ministrator here, but we can pick strik- ingly unique and special people in each department to illustrate the point. Start with the Riches, techniques vary from biology to math and from Betty to Steve, but it's guaranteed a student HAVE YOU EVER wondered what those ad- ministrative officials talk about in the morning as they look down the halls?

In Language Arts there are a load of personalities one could consider, but for example take Dick Stahl — great literature and writing teacher and published poet! In foreign language in addition to the Fredericksens there's Goetz, Lorio, and Vukelich — an array impressive enough to bring back Greek and Latin! Social Studies has some real at- tractions too. but focus on Barb Hess who year after year is a real ex- perience for everyone at CHS. (Some would like to forget the Hess ex- perience though, especially after one of her essay tests!) The Business Department has some interesting per- sonalities. Jim Groenenboom is an example of a versatile accounting teacher who also coaches boys' basketball. Down in the gym there's Mr. Swanson toting around his two GPR dummies in suitcases. And nearby in the Home Ec. building is Mrs. Griffin supervising aproned students who make everything from pies to turkeys. Drivers Education teacher Jim Anderson faces those in- experienced but willing drivers each year with a smile. He also knows how to pick the very best (the goriest) movies. Mr. Barret is usually a pretty nice guy. but his drafting students wish he was a little nicer when it comes to grading. Whether it’s special interests like art with Holladay or special education with Sue Stolze, Central has it and the leadership helps maintain a fine edge. The Central Building is a sym- bol of CHS tradition, but it's the faculty and administration who mold the young people who attend here. They are the Main Attraction. o. s. d. f. are what mn through the mind of STUDENTS LIKE RODNEY Taylor think Mr. Pau.

The Good Guys Cowboys and Indians. Cops and robbers. Students and principals? Wait a minute. It shouldn't be a good guy bad guy relationship, just listen to what Paul Massman has to say. Administrators are around to make the job of getting an education easier for both students and teachers. Sometimes it doesn't seem like this is the case but we are around to simplify the educational process. As principal. Mr. Fisher is in charge of the overall running of the school and is Central's official representative to the school board and the com- munity. Associate Principal Paul Massman is in charge of scheduling and atten- dance. as well as the senior class and special education. Dr. Bradford oversees grades 10-11, and is responsible for school discipline. Mr. Buis heads the Guidance Staff and Mr. Brown is activities direc- tor. Says Dr. Bradford. We have a team concept. If something needs to be done one of us will always fill the gap Sometimes it is easy to forget that the administration isn't here to give us a hard time or crush our spirits. They are here to help us. Says Mr. Fisher. We all have a ge- nuine concern for the educa- tional development and pro- gress of students. 92 Typing and MORE on need to buy a ticket to le football game, who do on go to?

Hard Work Pays Off Self-described ns intense, often solitary, and sometimes extroverted. Rod Vahl, jour- nalism teacher and Blackhawk newspaper ad- viser, was named National Journalism Teacher of the Year. Respected by col- leagues. looked up to by students, dramatic and often hilarious. Mr. Vahl is a uni- que figure at CHS. Teaching is a job for Vahl as well as a joy. It’s fun to watch the kids progress through adolescence, and not only to watch, but to help them in search of their self-identity. As a journalist, this award- winning writer writes because he enjoys it and he likes to work with words. To have a message and to g€ that message across t readers is the challenge the motivates writers to write, said Mr. Vahl. This asset to our school feel it would be nice to be a full time writer and do som magazine work. But in hi spare time he has managei to write over 200 professione articles, three books: Exploi ing Careers in Broadcas Journalism, The Studen Journalist, and Consume Reporting. He has also don work for the Quad-Cit; Times, and at the Uni versit of Iowa. Mr. Vahl is definitely one a the reasons CHS is the Mail Attraction. Mrs. Betty Christian: Language Arts.

Just when you thought you’ve made it to your locker without one. you're caught! Who are these adults roam- ing the halls? They’re the teacher assistants, better known as the T.A.'s. Their job consists of more than just cruising the halls asking students for passes and pick- ing up attendance cards. When a teacher is missing, a fight breaks out. or you can't find your room a T.A. is always there to help out. Dr. Bradford, the immediate supervisor of the T.A.'s. described them. They are like glue holding Central together. Whenever there is a leak, the T.A.’s are there to patch it up.” Making sure things go smoothly is just part of the contract, but it goes much far- ther than that. An obvious prerequisite for the job is be- ing able to get along with kids. Interaction with the students makes the job en- joyable. We’re like counselors to them, the kids talks to us as friends and adults and we help them with different problems.” said Sandy Squire. So the next time you hear somebody say.

Keeping CHS Alive In the early hours of the mor- ning when many of us are just waking up. or in the early evening when we are enjoy- ing dinner or a show, there remains a small group of peo- ple at Central who work to keep it alive.” This group is the custodial staff, a team of men and women that do the jobs many of us overlook. Whether it's repairing a light switch or fix- ing a desk, the custodians take care of it. An old building such as Cen- tral needs a lot of maintenance, and this staff is willing to do what they can to make it better for the students. We just try to make the school as clean and respectable as possible. and hope it rubs off. said Dean Taylor. After all it is really the students that present the image of Central. Although they’re often overlooked by many, the custodial staff is as important to Central as any teacher c student. Without them. Cen- tral would not be alive in '85. 96 Where Were You In ’58? 1958. It was the age of Sput- nik. Eisenhower was Presi- dent. Here in Davenport. West High School was being built and Central High was still Davenport High. That same year Bob Rowe came to Central, and 28 years later he is the faculty member who has been at CHS the longest. After spending a year as a paint contractor. Rowe join- ed the faculty at Central as a rookie Industrial Arts teacher. I came with the idea of staying two years, but opportunities presented themselves and I just didn’t want to leave.” said Rowe. The advances were good, the pay raises adequate, and the staff was decent.” Why has he stayed so long? Rowe said. When you live in a community for as long as I have, you've invested too much to leave. Rowe spends most of his day in the Industrial Arts building but he said he has never felt isolated. I've en- joyed working with the staff at Central. I've found the ad- ministration easy to work with and the counseling staff is terrific, and as far as I'm concerned, an outstanding Industrial Arts staff. EVEN THOUGH BOB Rowe is the senior faculty member in point of service, he still has some area of supervision each semester: this time it's the cafeteria. Photo: N. Keeling.

Service With a Smile You woke up loo late to pack your lunch, it's third period, and you are already thinking about lunch. Should you go to Hardees, Omers, or Super America? Well about 400 students everyday decide to spend their half hour lunch eating in the cafeteria. Everyday a staff of women prepare, serve and clean up for the students and teachers who eat in the lunch room. It’s not a difficult job, but there is so much to do in such a short time. said cashier Mary Brown. Each of the food service workers had to take a Basic Food Service course at Scot Community College in ordei to be fully qualified for theii job. They also attended a few short courses in Ames during the summer. Looking into the future, the cafeteria will have a new location after the renovation We will also have all new equipment.” said manage) Norma Saunders.

Although the excitement of a new job is a big shift, especially when teaching jobs are scarce in the economically hard hit Quad Cities, still they feel far from secure. I never got situated in the system and didn't know where I'd be next, but indications are that 1 will stay at Central next year. said Mr. Tom Hoeksema. One of the most difficult pro- blems is the scheduling has- sle which the low man on the totem pole” faces. Lynne Carroll, new gifted and talented teacher, has more than the usual scheduling difficulties. Sometimes I get a little frustrated with the way I have to meet my AGATE students. she said. The concepts for strands of seniors, juniors, and sophomores to meet accor- ding to class, but this year they are all together three times a week, different periods. This takes special planning. The students at Central get special praise from Frank Rasmussen. When I taught at West there were so many students that they got to thinking of themselves as a number and were unresponsive therefore: here at Central a teacher can get involved with his students. There's a real ex- change of ideas.” For teachers to be able to become involved with students is a special feature which makes CHS truly a main attraction. 100 We’ll Miss Him special kind of sadness filled veryone’s heart when the word came hat Paul Shumaker was finally gone, le had spent the summer at Americana Nursing Home languishing s a result of a brain tumor.

When it came to teaching, he was an artist, and when it came to student’s problems, he was almost a father figure. He knew everything about art. said Mr. John Holladay. but he knew even more about his students. He didn't force ideas.” ex- plained Mike Lund, he offered them instead. His philosophy on life was one that in- spired most, if not all his students. He was a true romantic, and he had a great compassion for people as well as art. which is why he was able to make teaching art a major part of his life. Mrs. Sue Stolze: Special Areas.

On January 18 and 19. Central hosted a two day tournament. It turned out to be the coldest day on record with a 60 degree below zero wind-chill. The various teams were forced out into the winter weather to unload their meticulously prepared files and briefs on this years topic: poverty and providing jobs for the unemployed. Arrangements for the tournament were in the hands of veterans Eric Engstrom, John Gengler and the Parent's Club who planned accom- modations and sold sloppy joes, hot dogs, and salads. The whole event was pronounced a great success by Adviser Tim Staudt who proudly said, We made $700 and guest coaches were really impressed with the enthusiasm of our group. According to the varsity debaters and Mr. Staudt. this sophomore class is the best sophomore team ever, and receives a lot of support and coaching from the older members as well. As junior Collin Brooke commented. “These sophomores have won all our trophies for us. We hope they will give us a good solid base for our var- sity team next year as well.” Probably few faculty and students realize how many hours of work go into staying current on all facets of the subject. Any good debater does this work anyway but especially if the goal is qualifying for Nationals. Mr. Staudt affirmed. My aim is to have an enjoyable and competitive year and have as many qualify for Na- tionals as possible. With so much ac- tivity and so many benefits. Debate is one of Central's “mainest attractions. DEBATE SQUAD: Front Row: Nick Diamond. Sara Anderson. Eric Engstrom. Second Row: Dan Cahoy. Gretchen Edltind. [.aura |ohns. Third Row: Hob McNeil.

Debate 107 RISKY BUSINESS Besides what you see on the Hamilton Technical College com- mercials aired between “Santa Bar- bara and The Love Boat.” what do you really know about the business field and the careers it offers you? Do you know how to dress and groom yourself for a job interview, or even know how to act at the interview? How familiar are you with office pro- cedures? What do you know about word processors, and other vital of- fice equipment? Do you find yourself befuddled upon reading these questions? If so. you obviously are not a member of Business Club. This was a year packed full of ex- perience for the fourteen girls and one boy in Business Club. The club attended a word processing seminar, modeled at Stewart's School of Haristyling to learn how to appear and act successfully for the business world, attended the AMS Business Show, where they were introduced to new office machines and equipment. And not to appear as future work- aholics. there were parties and a special night out on the town at Circa 21. The purpose of Business Club is to help those interested in a business career to pursue their interest, and to give some experiences in organiza- tion and leadership. said adviser Karen Johnson. The foundation of the club was Presi- dent Angie Day. Vice-President Jean Epping. Secretary Cheryl Walter, and Treasurer Elaine Stewart. Everyone else was on one of the following com- mittees: food, volunteer, publicity, programs, fund raising, and membership. Said President Angie Day, “I have a better knowledge of the business world — Business Club has really ex- panded my horizons. FROST ROW: USA Whitmcr. Angie Day. Sharon Goetsch. Klaine Stewart.

It's Wednesday deadline in Trailer 8 at CHS. home of the Blackhawk Yearbook. And everything is... well, how can it be put? “Very hectic, very loud, and unorganized — MASS CONFUSION!” explained Editor-in- Chief, Cathy Gish. But. she added amidst all the confusion, we do accomplish what we’re supposed to. and it really looks good.” Despite the hysteria often rampant in the trailer — due in part to the large. 38 member staff — there were many rewards gained from being involved in yearbook. It’s very gratifying to see an idea turned into something you can look at. hold, and admire. stated Chris Johnson. Assistant Editor-in-Chief. Another reward was the special remembrance a yearbook holds for a certain year, said Jodi Hester. It provides a way for us to remember one year out of our lives. So what makes yearbook special? This year’s theme. The Main Attraction, was certainly one aspect of its uniqueness. The new opening design was also a definite contribution to its individuality. Said Cherry Mcllvain. yearbook adviser. When you open the book, you are immediately hit with 20 pages of high octane.” But the book wasn’t the only thing that makes yearbook special. Even though a lot of time is put into being on the staff, so much is learned about working with other people, as well as about yourself, what your limitations are. how much you can accomplish. But at the same time you are having fun doing it. explained Kathy Elkins. So. despite the fact that students received no credit for working on yearbook, it proved to be a rewarding experience. Perhaps this was the reason for it being the main interest of such a variety of Central students. YEARBOOK SQUAD: Front Row: Deanna Ross. Second Row: Scott Young. Jodi Hester. Mary Branch.

This is Friday, huh?” Gee Ace. you're pretty bright — what year is it though?” “No. I mean we get a Blackhawk newspaper today!” Oh yeah, but Mr. Rich won't let us see it until there are five minutes left in class like he always does. Such dialogue is heard every other Friday in every homeroom across campus, and admit it. you've taken place in at least six of these conver- sations this year, but hey — who can stand the anticipation of having one of the best high school newspapers in the country, in their very own hands? It's not an accident that the Blackhawk has received numerous Gallup awards, and boasts an adviser who is National Journalism Teacher of the Year. The staff wrote about issues facing us all, the big nuclear threat, the presidential elec- tion. social diseases and other im- portant world-wide topics, as well as things that hit closer to home, like Bridget Wolfe's nationally recog- nized feature on parties, the feature on John Leese, and the one on the notorious Paul Sierra, and his whole ordeal. If we can’t reach every stu- dent at C.H.S., we aren't doing our job. said Sports Editor. Matt Dean. That kind of issue oriented newspaper is one of the main attrac- tions at Central — students writing about and for fellow students. As the paper is passed out. silence reigns while the bi-weekly newspaper is leafed through because of things like the new front page features, and Pick 'em with Bob and Josh, the equal sports coverage, and the pic- tures taken by the award winning photographers and the all-around new layout used with more to read, yet more graphics. Who creates this fine piece of jour- nalism? A staff of some 30 students, a potpourri of perfectionists, achievers, and all individuals who strive for ex- cellence. held together by adviser Rod Vahl, and Editors in Chief. Dan Brune and Lisa Lannan. Of course with such a cross section of eople on a staff, there are going to e conflicts of ideas and egos, but said Brune. It's miraculous how we can all fight over stupid little things for two weeks, then come together on a paste up night and put out one of the best high school publications in the country.” BLACKHAWK NEWSPAPER STAFF: Front row: Bob Long.

He dreams of getting a story or poem pub- lished in a great literary magazine such as The Saturday Review of Literature. Central may not quite have The Saturday Review of Literature, but we do have the Devil’s Diary. The Diary is a literary magazine which contains work ranging from poetry to short stories. Devil's Diary is for people who ap- preciate the written word. I enjoy writing; it's a great way to express my feelings, it’s a way to let out your emotions and the Diary lets one share their experiences with other people. said Co-editor Gary Langtimm. Gary, along with fellow editor Jean Derbyshire, spent many hours editing and typing the stories and poems which make up the Diary. Each year Devil's Diary sponsors a writing contest to get some of their material. There were many sub- missions to the diverse categories which included: A Little Bit of Heaven. A Little Bit of Hell.” Magical Moments.” and “The Devil Make Me Do It. Contest winners Traci Gilpatrick. Jeniffer Housley. and Steve Hise collected $10 each in prizes for their efforts. This contest put some of the $2 stu- dent subscriptions back in the students' pockets. Both lean Booth and Betty Chris- tian, Devil’s Diary advisers, agreed that a large staff with an en- thusiastic and cooperative attitude added up to a successful book. Rob Long produced the visual touches, by drawing a complex design for the cover. The staff worked toward putting out the final product which went on sale in May for $2. Perhaps devil's Diary is best described by Gary when he said, The Devil's Diary is a medium for our emotions. It encompasses the soul of the school and is created by those who care enough to write, draw and compile it. DEVILS DIARY FRONT ROW: Traci Gilpatrick. Betty Christian. Andrea Olson.

No. that’s the CENTRAL cheer; I'm cheering on the parents! The parents?! Why? What did they do for us? Lots of things! Why. without them, life here at Central wouldn't be nearly as ‘cheerful!” I guess you're right. I mean, what would we have done if the Athletic Boosters hadn't printed the football programs? We wouldn’t have gotten to see any of those gorgeous Buys from Bettendorf or Clinton or — I think you’re getting the idea. But the Athletic Boosters do a lot more than pass out programs at ball games. Who do you think bought that terrific new video equipment, or the new vaulting board for the gymnasts, or the weight equipment? The Athletic Boosters, right? But I'm not into the sports scene, so what does all this have to do with me?” Athletics isn't the only group sup- ported by the Boosters. Band, vocal music, and debate are too. Don't you remember being fitted for your band uniform?” You're right! I’d forgotten about how much work they put in fitting each of us. And then there's the Nut and Citrus Fruit sales. They also helped out at the Variety Show by ushering and selling tickets. Vocal Music Parents helped out at the Variety Show. too. And they rais- ed money for the students by selling apples and cider.” “Okay. I guess I see your point. But what does debate get out of Athletic. Band, and Vocal Music Boosters?! They have their OWN Boosters Club, silly! In fact, it was just organized this year. The parents pro- vide transportation to and from the tournaments. That helps cut down on expenses and also gets the parents involved. And our debaters couldn't have won so many trophies if they weren’t at the tournaments, right?” Right! By george.

On a little further and you see tons of people trying to demolish a pinata. Caram- ba! you shout wildly. And just a little farther, you ask the German class, Wie Geht’s? Wait a minute!! What in the world is happening to you? Have you been blasted into the Twilight Zone or what?! Don't panic! You're just experiencing a slight case of foreign culture! And that is what the members of the French. German, and Spanish Clubs are out to do. But. experiencing foreign culture isn't limited to the classroom only. For instance, included in the French Club's agenda were excursions to fancy restaurants like Le Figaro. Marcel Marceaux concerts, and even flying off to France for a week in romantic Paris! But hold on! Before you keep walk- ing. there's more! French Club wasn’t the only foreign language Club that threw limitless parties, and flew off to exotic Europe! German and Spanish clubs had their fair share of foreign culture! Besides having parties with sauerkraut initiations. the German Club went to the Amana Colonies to sample authentic German food and got a taste of German culture. And what about traveling abroad? Oh. they do that. too. Last year, selected students traveled to Davenport's sister city, Kaiserslautern, for a bi- annual. two-week exchange between the two cities. And if you were a member of the Spanish Club, you not only celebrated the holidays with pinatas and hot. spicy Spanish food, you also got a chance to go to sunny Acapulco for a week of sight-seeing and sunn- ing ... and even exploring ancient Mayan ruins! You say you'd like that? Well, whether your style is French. Ger- man. or Spanish, doesn't studying a foreign language suddenly take on a new meaning? NO.

Foreign Languages 119 INTERNATIONAL — INSIGHTS--- Consider our stale of Iowa, our city of Davenport, and our school. See it all as students who come from other lands see it as they attend Central for a year. Meet Kirstv Hughes from New Zealand. Taty Villegas from Colom- bia. and Peter Ullstad: three totally different students who see much that's new. but much that's familiar in the U.S.A. Often mentioned is that they see life in our country as fast paced. It's a matter of lifestyle. says Peter, you can't change Iowans. they are conser- vative people in pursuit of the American Dream. It's not like in Sweden where taxes are so high that the government is able to provide hospitalization, education, and security, so everyone is relaxed. They move in a more leisurely way. Taty mentioned that In the U.S.. people are very open, so it easy to make friends, but it is hard to break the ice and make close friends. Also, competition is very im|)ortant in an American mind, and I'm not used to that - I guess it's just a different way of doing! The size of America is what I no- ticed. said Kirsty from New Zealand. It is so big and there is so much of everything. It doesn't give much chance for you to express a strong personal opinion and have it make a difference. There is stronger peer pressure to conform. To listen to this trio is an education for the International Club and for all who get to know them. The world is too small anymore for allowing misunderstanding due to lack of communication among peo- ple.” said Mrs. Beat, adviser of Inter- national Club and Sending students abroad and finding homes for students who come here is taking a step toward better world understan- ding of our many cultures. Towards this end International Club is sending two guaranteed students abroad next summer: Nicole Crawford and Eva lennings. In addition, four finalists are waiting to be placed: Mike Mc- Connell.

Robinson 122 i- DOWNHILL “BUMS” What can you possibly do in the mid- dle of winter with freezing temper- atures and piles of snow? Go skiing!! At least that was the opinion of the 65 members of one of Central's newest and most successful clubs — the Ski Bums. According to Steve Alter. Ski Club is great! It’s a terrific opportunity to meet skiers. And I believe skiers have a lot in common. With the aid of ad- viser Randy Scott, the Ski Club busied itself by making plans for the ultimate in skiing — a trip to Dillon. Colorado, with ski resorts like Copper Mountain. Keystone, and Breckenridge all nearby. Sundown in Dubuque was not quite up to Col- orado skiing standards, but for the avid CHS skiers it was better than Mount Duck. Of course in order to take the various ski trips, money is needed. Thanks to an explorer group, the Ski Club's in- surance was covered. To help with the other expenses, special Ski Bum” sweatshirts with a design created by Mr. Holladay were sold, not to mention pizza, popcorn, and jewelry. Bake sales were also held to help with the financing. Treasurer Bridget Bell explained. I think Ski Club is a neat thing to get into. You get to go a lot of places with friends, and you have fun inexpensively! For many clubs this year was not a success. It was refreshing to see a new club not only establish itself, but also flourish. SKI CLUB: FRONT row: Annie Plotter. Pat Byrne. Jeff Pederson. Jeff Benjamin, Steve Mack. Kris Halsey. Cathy Peterson.

HELPING HANDS “Hey, Tim, how many ounces does a Halloween gram weigh? As much as a Valentine gram weighs, stupid!” Er, er, Jenny, real cute. Shut up you guys, the meeting will now come to order ..demanded the head honcho of STUCO. Steve Brown. The rowdy members, who had restlessly spread themselves throughout Miss Hess' history room, quickly transformed it into a mini-pentagon. The council, made up of some 30 am- bassadors. represented the popular, the homebodies, the jocks, the brains, and everyone else who made up the masses at CHS. They met twice a week during seventh period to help the general welfare of students at Central and add a little excitement to the school. Incorporated into STUCO's brain- power were Kerry Schlitter as the minute keeper, Matt Dean as the second man in line, and Collin Brooke as the money manager. A major task, successfully fulfilled for several years, has been sponsor- ing school dances. From decorations to the crown for the winning can- didate. they covered it all. Much thought and preparation went into the organization of these festive occasions. In an evaluation of Homecoming ac- tivities. Steve Brown proudly stated. It was excellent. We were greatly- organized and everything was well planned. However, school dances weren’t the only concern of the coun- cil. The members felt other ac- complishments were important as well. I believe the biggest achieve- ment this year was when we cleaned up around school and I ended up with my picture in the paper!” ex- claimed Jacquii Froehlich as she looked back over the year’s events. Whether helping the faculty move books and supplies between semesters or providing donuts for all on Friday mornings. Student Council and Miss Hess made for fun and sparkle in our halls.

SCIENCE SPECTACULAR A message over an intercom ... a lit laboratory candle ... a late night meeting of a (not so) secret society of scientists ... a quick exchange of money for vital rations (M Ms). Does this sound like a lead-up for a cheap World War II spy thriller? Although it might, these are just some of the regular happenings in the life of the CHS Science Club. The yearly Fun Night agenda includ- ed such activities as hot dog roasting over open bunsen burners, dart throwing at co-ordinator Mary Sievert’s self-styled visage and some not-so-orthodox games of volleyball and a quick round of bronco balloon-tying. Although these games may sound more like the behavior of a pre-school class than a Science Club’s activities, this is not the case. Senior Monica Kurylo says “We do a lot of strange things, but somehow they all relate to science.” The Science Club also features speakers, films and demonstra- tions. Plans included a seminar on the uses and effects of lasers and a lecture and demonstration of blood typing. There are many other things besides booklearning science. said Sievert and she allows students to pursue these ideas and interests. Another key activity of the Science Club was the pursuit of knowledge that lies outside the domain of the classroom — namely, field trips. Members went to Chicago. Ames and Iowa City to pursue interests by visiting research facilities, libraries, and campuses. Of course, an organization is only what the people in it make it. People in Science Club are involved in a variety of other activities and events both inside and outside science. Ac- cording to Julie Ralston, people in Science Club are “not really the super-geniuses of CHS ... they are mostly people who enjoy science and having a good time.” SCIENCE CLUB: Front row: Julie Ralston.

We are individuals that work together to make Central the center of attention. Heads turned when new varsity coaches were appointed and eyes looked up to watch girls play basketball with new rules. Kars perked up and listened to which players and coaches would be go- ing to the new high school. North. We have made the headlines in each sport, not in just a select few. The changes that were made are only the beginning to many that will come. Yet some things will never change, Central will always be the home of the renowned Blue Devils. So read on. look at howr we have made ourselves the main event. The Main Event 131 THE ONES TO WATCH Everyone's on their toes, at the edge of their seats, something's in the air — EXCITEMENT! Everyone's caught it. New coaches, new rules and new games all combined to make each game of the season the one to watch. Things started changing as early as the spring of '84 when a new varsity football coach was needed and. The only good and obvious replacement. Tom Murphy, wasn't even up for consideration.” said player Jim Terrell. Luckily for the team. Mur- phy decided to go in for an interview and as a result became the new head coach. For many years Murphy had been the assistant coach which made the switch-over go easily. Because I always had a voice in the way things were done it seemed easy for the guys and me to adjust. It was like an exten- sion of what I was except my title had changed. said Murphy. Fall’s excitement blended right into winter’s with Randy Peters coaching varsity boys' basketball for the first year. Although Murphy and Peters coached two different sports, they faced many of the same pressures: “Will he be as good as —? They stepped into the public eye with little hesita- tion. Coach Peters said, People expect a suc- cessful program to continue being successful. Things will always be said, but the important thing is to do our best.” At the same time a few eyebrows were raised from the change of the traditional Iowa girls six-on-six basketball rules to five-on-five. Although not all of Iowa changed, the Mississippi 8 Conference did. making Central able to play Illinois teams as well. The switch over was a challenge that proved quite beneficial. “It pulled us together as a team. We learned to become all around players instead of just specialized ones. said Angie Fuhs. In the spring, because of a high response, a girls' soccer team was added to the seven other girls' sports. Although an official team has never been organized, Coach Sandy Flaherty was very excited about the season. A major goal for Flaherty was to get enough girls interested so the program could continue. Although other teams in the conference had been competing for three years. Flaherty felt that with a great deal of hard work, the team would be able to keep up. On each field, court and mat something new is happening that is enhancing the spectators' enjoy- ment. There is no time for anyone to get bored with all these changes happening, there’s only time to catch the excitement. 132 SPARE TIME GIVES Annette Delveau a chance to sharpen her hall handling skills for the up- coming season.

Sports Feature 133 EXCITEMENT: Never short on excitement! that's how Coach Hester described the varsity softball team’s season. The season was full of highlights; and many of them played a key role in the team’s success. Sue Hatfield's grand slam, the first one in eight years, was the kind of play that helped to keep the team fired up. Other key plays were Jen- nifer Dietz's five hits in the team’s 3-0 win over Assump- tion; or Marybeth Hadley's no- hit pitching performance against Muscatine. Individual performances weren’t what made this team though, playing as a team was important. At the beginning of the season, we were like a family, but towards the end we went off into dif- ferent little cliques. It real- ly hurt our performance. said Marybeth Hadley. When they did play as a team, they were tough. Key to Triumphant Season They were the only team able to defeat state-champion West twice during the season. One of the wins came in a wild extra-inning affair at the Maquoketa Invitational, with a total team effort giving them a 9-7 victory. The team worked hard all season; with the work came fun. with the fun came ex- citement for both the players and fans as well. llliliu.il lAL?1 I'VE GOT IT. thinks Jennifer Dietz us she scoo|)s in a low line drive to force the out against Bettendorf.

Beyond It Success can be found in do- ing the very best you possible can and believing in your abilities, no matter what obstacles you face. This is the attitude of Jay Justin and the rest of the varsity baseball team. Not expected to be a real challenge for the conference crown, the gutsy team clawed its way to sec- ond place, finishing only one game out of first. Coach Freese thought the year was a real success. Though the final record was 17-14-1. the team played hard right up to the end. A possible reason for not winning those close games was the teams lack of con- THREE UP. THREE down.

But it wasn't a steady effort. What was a steady effort, was the team's ability to continue improving though the year. This strength kept the team in the con- ference race and accounted for their high finish in this league of tough opponents. The biggest obstacle of the season was Bettendorf. All the games were close but the breaks went the other way. One game was suspended because of darkness. When the game was resumed. Paul Sikorski hit a solo home run. but Central's hopes were shattered by a Bettendorf two run homer. Major highlights of the season included the awesome home run Gene Dobek hit in the trees at Brady Street Field against West; where the team went on to sweep a double-header. Playing against West gets us excited, it’s always a special kind of a feeling to beat them.” said Jay Justin. Overall, the season was vic- torious and Coach Freese was quick to praise his players. As a team they played over and above their physical abilities, they did as well as they could, and didn’t shortchange themselves. INSTANTLY SNATCHING THE ball up.

Varsity Baseball 137 138 95% GUTS: Helps in Overcoming Slow Start Depth in both teams. ac- cording to cross-country Coach Ira Dunsworth. was the key to the season's perfor- mances. Although both teams were off to a slow start, the boys' team notched a 7-7 record while the girls’ fin- ished with a 10-4 overall record. Although one might think a runner needs to be in top physical condition to com- pete. Coach Dunsworth ex- plained it as 95% guts and 5% ability. Part of that 95% guts includes having a good mental attitude when run- ning in a long distance event. Megan Duke said. You have to keep thinking positive and that you want to finish the race. You're almost done and you've gotten this far so you can’t stop now. Dependent on mainly physical abilities during the races, team support helped the team in the long run. In any long distance event, every runner has off days so you depend on your team- mates to get you fired up and prepared to run, not to men- tion all the influence of Coach Dunsworth. said Dominic Scoedeller. Cross-country is considered a team sport, but it can also be an individual sport. Megan stated. When you're out there running a race it's an individual sport, but when you add up all the points it's a team sport. Dom agreed by saying. I feel there is more emphasis on the individual and that individuals strive to reach for their own goals. One of Kristin Dejohn's goals was met as she broke the two mile school record by 8 seconds with an 11:59 time. Throughout the season, the runners learned to be more competitive, consistent and successful in all of their meets. In spite of the boys' frustration in not qualifying for state, their disappoint- ment was lessened by the success of the girls' team. WATCH OUT! YOUR shoelace is untied!!

It's hard to describe, they were all good as individuals and they just clicked perfectly when they got together as a team, said Coach Amy Baker. Pre-season goals that were set soon became reality and played a large part in how the team performed. Their high ambitions for winning two of the three tournaments and taking conference were met. The main goal of making state was just within their grasp when they took a ■I ALWAYS THINK the ball is com- ing to me so I'm ready, we all do. says Kathy Friederichs speaking for herself and teammate Lisa Burke.

We were so close and then we just lost it. said Kathy Friederichs. Although the ultimate goal was not met. the regular season shone with success. Fifteen records, more than in other years, were broken for setting, spiking, and serving just to name a few. Their overall outstanding record of 25-4 is just another example of a team at work. There wasn't any weak spot, each girl could depend on having a good pass or whatever it was that she needed. said Baker. The team was nurtured for three years by Baker, they worked together and knew each other well and always shot for their best. Finally coming all together in their senior year. “Because we had been together for three years we knew we could expect each other’s 110%. and we got it.” said Jennifer Dietz. Excelling talents, personality differences and the overall love for volleyball are the chemicals that Baker thought combined and separated this team. Whatever it was. it will be hard to find the formula again. OUR HEIGHT WAS one of our ma- jor weaknesses, so we make up for it by having our strongest point be our jumps. says Jennifer Dietz.

Varsity Volleyball 141 QT TPPT7QQ-JustBel°w O LJ ULiI-jiJO.Their Fingertips Blow 'em off the court!” chants the sophomore girls' volleyball team as they chew bubble gum preceding games. This is one of the many gimmicks divised to encourage spirit within the squad and psyche up players. Displaying unity among the players is shown by the togetherness and friendship in the squad. One key factor to this year's season. ex- plained Amanda Curran, was team encouragement, we kept each other going when we were down.” Aside from social aspects of volleyball, improving on skills was also achieved. Kim Vandenburgh said that her main goal was to learn the fundamentals of volleyball and play the best I could every game by giving 100%.” Luckily for the squad, each player possessed those same determined feelings and were all a hard working, in- telligent bunch of girls. as Coach Sue Minrichsen com- plimented. Although volleyball is mainly a mental sport, working on drills takes much effort as well. “You always have to be in control of yourself mentally, and the physical aspect will come with practice. states setter Kristi Hoeksema. Laura Immesoete. a junior member of the JV squad that went undefeated noted We had a good time this year — everything peaked. Both sophomore and }V had outstanding seasons, and although the sophomores didn’t win as many as they hoped for. their game im- proved. We did better than the record showed. explain- ed Kim. Everyone had a positive mental attitude, and whether they were on the court or bench, each played an important role. The fans, of course, also played their part in the whole scene by encouraging and supporting. There will be many memories of this unique squad, including Tonya Gillen's awesome 15 straight serves in their home game against Muscatine, and tak- ing a third place title in both the Clinton and the North Scott tournaments. Everyone wanted victories and happiness more for the team than just themselves. The people on the team made me want to be there. Laura said, there were no show offs or snobbery here.” While this super squad was prepar- ing for varsity, they kept in mind that it was not quantity but quality that counted in team improvement. Noticing that very few varsity players would be returning and the squad being split in half, next year's teams must strive extra hard, and if anyone could do it. this year’s competitive sophomores and junior varsi- ty were the right ones to choose.

No. not by Spring- steen. by the stvim team! The girls' swim season has been crowned with overwhelming success, thanks to the young swimmers, family ties, and just plain enthusiasm. At the beginning of the season things were good and they just kept getting better, by winning their first three meets. Even though they suf- fered a 16 point loss to Clin- ton. spirits never fell. They came back as victors over Muscatine by just three points in the last event. We couldn't let ourselves get down because a lot of the meets came down to the free relay, the last event, that made us win as a team not in- dividuals. said Kit Bailey. Sometimes mid-season boredom sets in: not wanting to go in on Saturdays, coming late, leaving early, yet these girls didn't seem to face that. With a month stretch of not having a full team because of injuries, it didn't break the momentum. Everyone had fun. you didn't really notice the work — we were all friends working together, said Aimee Tecson. Three seemed to be a lucky number, when they took third in district, conference and the J.V. Invitational. The season came out on top with an overall 7-4 record. The team was very' young with only three seniors. Age didn't hinder them though, as they made it to State in eight of the eleven events, taking two relays. They placed the team sixth in State. Another first was for Jc-jo Myers who dived eleven dives. It will go down as a true record breaking year for the girls' swim team. Coach Anne West said.

Girls’Swimming 145 HEART-BREAKING: A quiet locker room, young men sprawled out on benches, some listening to walk mans, others throwing in a dip of chew, but all are thinking of what the coach has said. They go over and over each play in their head — pre-game preparation. All right men! the mood is broken. Pack it up. we’re playing tomorrow. So began the '84 football season. The pep-aud earlier that day had everyone fired up. but a problem with the lights caused a delay of the game. Many found it heart-breaking to have the game postponed a day. but the delay could have been a bless- ing in disguise, We were too fired up.” said Rodney Taylor. We could have easily lost the game.” As it turned out, Saturday was the Devil's day and they went on to score an impressive 20-7 victory over Rock Island. The Moline game was also won in typical Blue Devil fashion, but the thrill of victory was replaced by the bitter- sweet agony of defeat against a scrappy Assump- tion team. The final score was 9-7 and the majority of the team felt the loss came because of their over-confidence and the fact that their opponents wanted to win more. A new head coach is likely It’s a Whole New Ball Game to affect a team’s perfor- mance. although Coach Mur- phy was not new to the foot- ball program, the players still had to adjust to him as head coach. “Murph is an X's and O’s man. said Stacy DeWitt. He's not much of a pep talk guy. Overall Coach Mur- phy’s first season was by no means bad. Success showed in the team’s 5-4 season record, but the expectations of following a state- championship team was just too much for the team to meet. Lee Blevins com- mented.

Varsity Football 147 TT A A A T) C • Two Good Players TlAlVlru for Every Position “They had the killer in- stinct, said assistant coach Jerry Harper of this year’s sophomore football team. Their impressive 7-2 record reflected this attitude. With only two losses to West and Bettendorf, and a remarkable 24-0 win over Burlington to end the season, and tie for the conference title, this season was obviously a success. Before the season started, there were grueling two-a- day practices which seemed to last forever but later proved to be worthwhile. The beginning of the season posed some other difficulties. Junior high rivalry' is always a problem making team unity difficult. It took us a while to play as a team, said defen- sive back Paul Brock, but it didn't take long before the players got to know each other and began to form this year's team. We had at least two good players for every position. said guard Bob Graham, this made us a great all around team. From the first day when the new recruits showed up to become a part of the now famous Blue Devil football program, to the final game with Burlington. Coach Harper said. Everything just seemed to go right. The sophomore football team was definitely one to be remembered.

Sophomore Football 1.49 FRIENDS, FELLOWSHIP, AND FUN It's been only two short years, but, with outstanding student support. F.C.A. or Fellowship of Christian Athletes has become one of the most popular clubs at Cl IS. Though the name doesn’t say so. FCA isn't for jocks or Christians exclusively. Everyone is welcome at the meetings, and many people are tak- ing advantage of the chance to meet and have a good time. F.C.A. is new at Central, but is by no means a re- cent organization. It has been cjuite popular nation-wide for many years. Bill Sandry, a former Central student, became deeply involved in F.C.A. while attending the University of Kentucky and he felt Central students would benefit by having a F.C.A chapter at school. Sandry is also a major contributor to the number of people involved in F.C.A. Bill makes F.C.A fun. he's one of the major reasons we keep coming back, said lean Chang. Meetings were held every other week discussing various subjects including religion, peer pressure, school and upcoming events. The discussions often turned into feuds when heavy topics like Religion vs. Evolutionism were discussed. Though not everyone agreed on certain topics the special esprit de corps was never lost. F.C.A. allowed students to discuss topics that they usually couldn't discuss with friends. Matt Cobler said. F.C.A. gives me a chance to be myself, at these meetings I can act normal and enjoy myself.” Holidays were big for F.C.A.. they had a huge costume party for Halloween, and at Christmas time, a group of merry members helped to promote the Christmas spirit by caroling. F.C.A. also held a candle sale to raise funds for films and guests speakers at meetings, as well as sending members to F.C.A. retreats held in Estes Park. Colorado. The atmosphere is comfortable and no one feels out of place. Our meetings are informal and per- sonal. said lacquii Froehlich. In F.C.A. everybody is equal, and each and every individual's opinions are important. It helps to bring the student body together to act as one.

As coach Sandy Squire put it. “Cheerleading keeps en- thusiasm and pride at Central going. Without the spirit generated, where would athletes be with no support? Ambition and determination oozed from each girl as a variety of activities were discovered and revised. The wrestling cheerleaders hosted a successful hospitali- ty room, consisting of refreshments at the Iowa Quad Tournament held at Central. Football cheer- leaders did their part in a contest sponsored by KIIK radio station at Southpark Mall. These along with in- itiating a whole new male cheerleading program con- sisting of equalizing the girls and guys was just one of the changes made. They at- tended practices and followed spirit books just as the girls did. Shyla Swan, varsity wrestling cheerleader, said. We’ve reached both our personal and team goals when we were made to feel ap- preciated by the wrestlers.” Through offering support and creating a positive at- mosphere among the au- dience and players, it is proven that the CHS cheerleaders are essential in carrying out our school pride and are a main part in con- tributing to our proud school tradition.

This image is the one that most see when they think of cheerleaders, but you won’t find this stereotype at CHS! Being on a cheerleading team for the Devils means main- taining a C average, and do- ing homework, yes, homework! Not many people consider cheerleading a sport but Melody Brantner said. Cheerleading is a sport because it’s hard work, yet it’s fun like an activity.” Summer cheerleading camp, held in Ames, played a large factor in how the cheerleading system was run this year. “We learned specific motions and the representatives from the Iowa Cheerleading Founda- tion taught us w'hat cheer- leading was really all about, said Laura Hassey. Not just the girls went to camp though, coaches Sandy Squire and Chris Tripp went with them for the first time and came back with many new ideas. The major stress was on organization and strict rules. For example: no gum. no jewelry, quizzes and homework — not to mention demerits! A total of ten demerits can get a girl cut from the squad and five demerits result in suspension a girl from an upcoming game. But of course it’s not all work and no play with car washes, candy sales, and dance competitions to keep them lively all year round. Working with new faces and leading the school spirit helped pave the road for the sophomore teams. The ins- tant involvement in a school activity created unity and dedication to the school. Melody summed up the beneficial aspects of cheerleading by exclaiming You learn a lot about people around you. Helping the team you’re cheering for creates pride and that’s a good feeling.” WRESTLING CHEERLEADING: FRONT row: Jean Porlz. Dinah Tooley. Back row: Melissa Wagner. Earline Spencer. Photo: B.

The three D's: defense, drive, and determination, took the girls' varsity basketball team up and down the court play- ing five-on-five rules for the first time in the history of Iowa. Although the decision to change from the traditional six-on-six rules was made in August, the initial shock was in effect until mid- December. The first few games before Christmas vacation were a learning experience, especially when they played an Illinois team. East Moline.for the first time. “In that game the girls realized how hard the new rules were, they picked up new skills and strategy, since East Moline had always played five-on-five,” said Coach Bob Ballard. The repositioning of girls over Christmas break proved beneficial and made it the turning point of the season. When the team came back from vacation there was a remarkable change causing them to win their final ten games straight. Sophomore varsity starter Lisa Burke said. Something suddenly clicked and made us like a family. Some positions were changed and the drive to really win came out in all of us. We knew our defense was strong and we used that to really push on our opponents. Defense went all out against their number one rival. Assumption. After continual- ly being defeated by Assumption for eight years, the 55-43 victory will be remembered. The game was kept close, with fans on the edge of their seats. Fourth quarter came with Assump- tion leading by three points. but the Devils came back by running fifteen straight points thus winning by twelve. It was a great game, it got scary at the start of the fourth quarter then everything clicked. When our defense was great, it gave our offense a chance to be. too. said Cathie Waters. The season closed with a triumphant 14-4 record, mak- ing them second in the con- ference with a number one ranked defense. The new rules opened many challeng- ing doors for the girls. Three year letter winner Sharita Couch said. Switching over to five-on-five rules was a change for the better and it made our defense really shine. That was one of the major reasons why we played great together — because we worked together. DEFENSE WAS THE key to the season, which Sue Hatfield and I.isa Burke knew as they applied pressure against Burlington resulting in a 64- 47 victory. Photo: C.

For twelve sophomore girls, November wasn’t just the month that Thanksgiving was in, it was the start of the basketball season. That meant the time previously spent pigging out and watching The Brady Bunch” after school, and watching Saturday morning cartoons, was then spent ex- ecuting drill after drill and learning the newly adapted five on five basketball game. At the first few practices, ac- cording to the girls, they were pretty much strangers who set out to have fun. have something to do, meet new people, and stay in shape. Little did they know they would be breaking their butts to perform to the best of their ability, and most importantly, The friendships that were made will last long after the season is over.” said Kim Vandenburgh. “They improved tremen- dously in every aspect of the game but especially in team play and defense, said Coach Koch. The outstanding defense and consistent of- fense of the team was most evident in the 38-25 win at Bettendorf, and the come- from-behind 33-29 win over Burlington. Also the disap- pointing but thrilling 34-30 loss to West. Although the girls weren’t thoroughly disappointed with their nine and nine season effort, they felt they could have done better as Kristi Hoeksema expressed. 1 thought we played to the best of our ability most of the time. It took us a while to get going, but at end of the season, I thought we were playing good basketball.

Anytime you bring in new people, it takes time for the players and coaches to adapt to each other.

The Devils played the top ranked team in the state right down to the wire, but lost 61 to 59 with last second free throws spelling the dif- ference. “Inexperience was one of the reasons for losing the close ones, but also the inability to play solidly for 32 full minutes hurt us.” said Jim Lewis. Although the season wasn’t as successful as one would hope, the team did reach their goal of improving in each practice and game as the season progressed. And the improvement was evi- dent in games such as the battle with Clinton, where the gutsy cagers battled from a ten point half time deficit to topple the River Kings. 71 to 56 upon the strength of Matt Cobler's 23 points. The bet- terment also showed in an exciting win over Assump- tion. as well as a loss against West. Although the Devils lost 58 to 53. they pulled together and put out their best effort of the year. Though the season doesn’t look as good in the record books as other seasons have. Coach Peters commented, We had a slow start, but at the end of the season, we played very good basketball, I’m very pleased with the progress. Todd Quigg also added.

DISCIPLINE: The Key to Everything Striving for individual im- provement and wanting each individual to play as a team as much as possible at the sophomore level” was one of the main goals the sophomore boys' basketball team wanted to accomplish, according to Head Coach Hester. Although the team didn't have a winning season, with an overall record of 4- 14. they managed to come up with some good wins. One of their more memorable games that ended the season was a 64-57 win against Assumption. Coach Hester recalled, It was a total team effort. Everyone played well and responded to everything. That game made my year.” There were mixed feelings about the team’s disappoin- ting season according to some of the players. Dave Case said, Coming in and never playing with each other made it hard.” Matt McManus also aded, Coming from dif- ferent junior highs had a bad effect on us.” For first-year as head coach. Hester believed the reason for the team's slow start was due to the fact that. In the early part they didn't believe in themselves to get better. Making the change from junior high to high school basketball was also an ad- justment. McManus said, “It’s totally different. People get quicker, bigger, and bet- ter. It's more of a dedication in high school. You have to really like the game.” Numerous practices held every day throughout the season improved the players. Practice didn't always make perfect though, and accor- ding to McManus. “The key to the season was Hester’s strict discipline. Discipline is the key to everything.

The gun sounds as swimmers dive from their blocks into the water with only one thing in mind — beating the clock. Steve Brown gave a good ex- ample of this in the meet against West when his backstroke time dropped. Be- ing mainly an individual sport, since each person races against a previous time, every man is for himself, yet team encouragement is needed for motivation. Although wins are not abundant. Coach Swanson commented that the win-loss record of dual meets aren’t important. We just concern ourselves with preparing for Districts and at- tempting to get everyone's lifetime best to qualify for state.” A major key to the season was the excellent coaching staff combined with deter- mined swimmers. Through- out Head Coach Swanson's 16 years at CHS he’s learned that there's a lot more to competing than just winning. You’ve got the clock to go against; the guys just have to know their goals and strive to reach them.” Pushing the guys towards their goals and providing support. Swanson, with Assistant Coach Fritz comprised a good at- mosphere to learn and ex- pand in. Every meet has a highlight for us. All times were dropped each meet — that was an emotional high for everyone. stated veteran Steve Brown. Although only two seniors were out, leadership wasn't a problem among this group. Throughout the season, swimmers learned mental discipline and responsibility, which makes for a good mix when the team is concerned. Hopes next year are for freshness and uniqueness as Bretag, Bisantz. and Testa return, since they will already have experienced leadership and know what to expect.

As Sean Graves said. “Most of the younger members have a lot of poten- tial that just hasn't been developed.” Central also competes in one of Iowa’s toughest conferences being challenged by state ranked teams week after week. Although they didn’t have a winning season there were several standout wrestlers. The leadership of Gerald Connors. Bob Robertson, and Tom Tandeski helped hold them together through a not so successful year. Juniors Sean Graves. Curt Schriber. and fames Maid also turned in impressive records and will help make a solid team next year. The team did not have the experience and confidence to push themselves to the top but they remained optimistic. As Coach Sherman said. The difference between op- timism and pessimism is how well you aid in the last meet. The wrestlers demonstrated their ability to pull together and function as a team in their first meet against Moline. They had been beaten in the lower weights, but every wrestler over 145 pounds managed to defeat their opponent yet they didn't receive enough points to win the meet. Even though they only had two team victories, over Assumption and Muscatine, there were many impressive in- dividual records. With the many talented underclassmen it should develop into a powerful team in years to come. AS HE DRIVES his opponent into the mat.

Wrestling 167 GYMNASTS: Theffi™ble “Wow! How do they do all those flips? That was a very common reaction from the audience at a CHS girls' gym- nastics meet. Does gymnastics look easy? Well. Gymnastics involves both physical and mental abilities. A gymnast’s physical strength helps her do better, and mentally a gymnast has to have a lot of concentration, so she can do the best she can do.” said Samantha Bakeris. A record number of four seniors were on the team. Samantha Bakeris. Kelly Matheson. Dena Votroubek, and Patty Novak. It was agreed by all of them that “Senior year was sad because you know you can't come back and compete on the team next year. The seniors gave the team a great deal of depth. Being four consistent top scorers, they helped pull the team together. Due to the elimination of the tumbling event the meets were shortened. According to Coach Elizabeth Emmert. the reason for the elimination event was. “It was not an Olympic event and it was too hard to judge, too hard on the coaches, and too hard for the gymnasts. Team reaction was mixed. Some gymnasts were glad not to have to face the repetition of tumbling which was nothing more than a pass from their floor routines, but the elimination resulted in stiffer humbling recpiirements in their floor routines. Heading into their last meet with a 5-7 record, the gym- nastics team hoped to make it a winning season by defeating Davenport West. Unfortunately against a hyped up West squad, the CHS gymnasts came up four points short. It will be hard for us to advance to state because the top six teams are in our district.” said Coach Emmert. At one time ranked sixth in the state, the team was not disappointed with a 5-7 record although they felt they could have done better. The team was pleased as their season outshined past ones: they can be proud of their accomplishments.

What is this?” Anyone who is involved in music or drama is into this area called Fine Arts?” Sure — and you know what it’s all about? Commitments.” “Really, I used to play the clarinet in fifth grade, but I quit in sixth because I hated it.” See — there you go. These Fine Arts folks here started developing their talents many years ago. They’ve stuck with it because they are willing to put forth an all-out effort for their own personal satisfaction as well as entertainment for others.” “That must be why I see this one guy lugging around an odd- shaped case on the bus every single day.” You’ve got it! With All-State tryouts, private lessons, concert band, and jazz band music, he surely has enough to practice. Practicing an instru- ment — that doesn’t sound like much fun to me.” That’s where this dedication I’ve been telling you about comes in. These students spend a great deal of their precious time in scheduled classes, extra rehearsals before and after school, and individual practicing at home.” I guess that I’m not actively involved in the Fine Arts department, but I really do admire the ones who are.” The Main Production 173 MARCHING BAND SQUAD: Front row: H.

Exactly why did 50 of our musi- cians decide to spend their Satur- day. October 27. in the small town of Washington. Iowa? They were auditioning for the All-State Music Festival, a prestigious group com- posed of the finest musicians from all across Iowa. Hours and hours of individual practicing were the key element in the preparation for the auditions. Two hours of daily practice weren’t out of the ordinary for some students. The select group of Holly Macumber. Natalie Spay, Jennifer Housley, Heidi Walsh. Toi Anderson. Manny Matthews. Tony Jensen. Darrin Votino, Mark Anderson. Cathy Gish. Mike Ken- nedy. Shari Becker. Rachel Paulos. Tom Kamp. Richard Till. Jeff Klaessy. and Mark Ottesen audi- tioned successfully and became part of the 1090 musicians from over 200 schools that attended the festival in Ames. Iowa. Three weeks later these musicians climbed on a school bus loaded with luggage, instruments, and music, anxiously awaiting the event. Twelve hours of rehearsals in two days plus the final concert turned out to be quite a valuable weekend for all. Mark Ottesen, violist, com- mented. “The competition from Iowa City really brought out the best of my playing abilities. Tom Kamp. violinist, realized. Even the top people with big reputations have their playing weaknesses.” So if you've seen someone with an All-State bumper sticker or T-shirt, you know that they worked diligently for that honor. As Mike Kennedy, tuba player, put it, “It’s a great experience to work for whether you’re going into music in college or not. All-State 177 AND WE WONT come home til we've each kissed a girl! agree Manny Mathews and Chad Carr as they get ready for an unexpected night on the town. Photo: B. Bargmann. HOLY CABOOSES!

Dolly!” And that’s an understatement when try- ing to describe the CHS musical “Hello Dolly” and all the people who contributed to it. This energetic and talented cast was led by Natalie Spay as Dolly Levi, and Tony Jensen as Horace Vandergelder. These extremely talented prin- cipal characters. as Sally Riewerts, vocal director for Hello Dolly described them, were sup- ported by an equally talented slapstick comedy team of Manny Mathews as Barnaby Tucker, and Chad Carr as Cornelius Hackl. These two were quite successful at getting a roar of laughter with their bumbling antics. As Jensen said. They were meant for those parts. They weren't the only people who helped make or break the musical. The pit orchestra played a major role, unseen but not unheard, along with all the behind-the- scenes people. They all put in long hard hours. Lack of time was one thing that most everyone agreed was a major problem. Michael Tandy, director of the musical, said, “It was time- consuming. I didn’t have enough hours to direct, to watch over set construction, or work with the tech crew.” Still, this sterling cast overcame such problems as major technical flaws on opening night. Chad Carr having to kiss his sister, and not enough rehearsal time. As Tandy said. “It was just that kind of cast — they came together and sup- ported each other and worked hard. There were no prima don- nas. They put a lot of their time and heart and soul into it.” Musical 179 ORCHESTRA SQUAD: FRONT row: T. Kamp. S. Becker. |. Derderian. P. McCarrel. M. Larson. M. Ottosen.

As Sara Anderson pointed out. “The large group is totally ;omj)lete with all of the blaring rumpets and stuff. Wind player Richard Till expressed. Being a band member serves only as a prerequesite for playing in orchestra. Extra efforts of orchestral talents range anywhere from spending precious Saturday afternoons at Quad-City Youth Symphony rehearsals, in which 15 Cen- tral musicians are involved, to local summer musicals like the Quad-City Music Guild. The jazz band got an added attraction when Tom Kamp electrified his violin to join them at the home basketball games for pep band. Fans noticed and ap- preciated the new dimension of jazz violin. This family not only played together, but partied together. A big Masquerade Nerd Party was held at Tom Kamp’s house, despite undesirable cold weather that evening. Nerdish games included Pin the Tail on Mr. A.. Poop the Potato, and Spoon Down the Shirt. An over- nighter was planned to view the Chicago Symphony as a learning experience. Making music together and having fun at the same time is what orchestra is all about. Shari Becker summed up the situation when she said. “Orchestra at- tracts people with really diverse per- sonalities. but everyone is able to work together for the benefit of the group and personal fulfillment as well.” Orchestra 181 PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT' realizes the cast of Out of Sight.

In addition to the three productions put on this year, the Drama Club, led by Mr. Mike Tandy, staged numerous other events. They attended Ain’t Misbehavin',” at St. Ambrose in November, and got together for a Fall Picnic and Christmas Party. With all the activity going on. it's easy to be swept away by the excitement, the fantasy, and the make-believe of acting. However, reality plays a key role as well. As Tandy pointed out.

The A Cappella Choir, of course. rhis choir is much more than just a jroup of students who can sing really .veil. It's not just the new uniforms that et them apart, it’s the people. Director Sally Riewerts says. The people are hopefully serious — they'll rehearse Jiligently and not be satisfied until it's Ihe best they can do. r nd this choir certainly does rehearse diligently — every day in fact, learn- ing and practicing new singing tech- niques and experimenting with dif- ferent types of music. Senior Cyndi Cox said. I like the experience of learning different eras of music and working with the other chosen singers of the school. All of this hard work does pay off in the end though, and this year was a prime example. A Cappella produced a total of seven All-Staters and earned numerous division one and two ratings during small-ensemble and large-group con- tests as well. It’s a good choir, an ex- cellent choir. commended Riewerts. Despite all the ups and downs of a cap- pella. the benefits seem to far outweigh the problems. As senior Toi Anderson says. Because the A Cappella people spend so much time together, we do get closer. It makes us closer than any other class.

It's a constant job that never leaves you. There's a lot of work involved and going over and over the music.” All that hard work has paid off for Central's Show Choir. Not only are they asked to perform at some of the junior highs, they have also done quite well at competitions. Norbie McNeill stated. We received a Division 1 rating from all three judges at the Muscatine competition.” Aside from their competitions and performances. Show Choir was also included in the Variety Show, singing this year's theme. Anything Goes. According to many of the Show Choir members it is not just another class. Brad Kelly com- mented. It is a class and a per- forming group. If you plan on go- ing on in music it will help. Even if music is not in your future, the pride that Show Choir created for its members was unique. Laura Butler concluded. I chose to be in music because it is a release from school work, but it also keej)s me involved in the school. CHS Show Choir is a very exciting group to be involved in.

He occasionally must resort to yelling about the importance of being on time for class. Does this daily routine of band seem repetitious? Well, band “brings new challenges each day stated Lorie Hippie. Whether it’s fingers flying in “Italian in Algiers,” or working on dynamics in Old Commrades March the challenges are definitely there. Due to the 197 students interested in band, this is the second year Central has had a sophomore band as well as a junior senior group. The sophomore band meets during second period with Mr. Abplanalp. Mr. Reicher was a new face in Central's band. He was a student teacher from St. Ambrose. He felt right at home at Cen- tral. although he claimed the band members had no respect because they insisted on calling him Ted. During the fall, the concert band was ac- companied by the sounds of the bulldozers and cranes working on the new addition below the third floor windows. The band, like all other groups at Central, is affected by the renovation and the split with North High. The good part about the new addition is that it will house a new band room. To celebrate the last year of a full band at Central, plans for a band trip were in the works. You may have thought the Central band faded away with the football season, but a trip up to the third floor will change your mind!

The snapping fingers of Mr. Bernatz get the jazz band started in those early morning rehearsals bufore the Augustana Jazz Festival only two days away. Photo: C. Peterson. ‘Diversified — that was the only word Mr. Bernatz could think of to describe he jazz band. Others probably would have called them weird or crazy. It seemed crazy that these twenty people worked so hard for an extracurricular band. There was an early morning and an evening rehearsal every week, and when a contest drew closer, it seemed they never stopj)ed practicing. Trying to interpret this special music and blend it in with the other instruments certainly wasn't easy either. A good jazz band player, according to Mr. Bernatz. listens to jazz because it's so difficult — they have to know what jazz sounds like to be able to interpret it. But most of these musicians played in jazz band for the experience and fun of it. Said Jamie Kinser. “It's got more flavor and it's more exciting. Jazz offers a variety. Jeff Klaessy wanted to get in as a sophomore so he’d get really good. It might help me get into a college jazz band. The Augustana Jazz Festival was quite a learning experience. Everyone will now remember to bring his instrument home when they must play away from school and also listen to the director's an- nouncements so he can find out where the contest is being held. Despite the difficulties and the judge's criticisms. Mr. Bernatz thought the band played better than they had all year. Twenty crazy but hard working musi- cians combined their talent and skill to create their interpretations of jazz. With Mr. Bernatz directing, things got even crazier, but he has helped his students gain experience and grow. One title sums up the jazz band experience. This Could Be the Start of Something Big !

For the sophomores it’s lots of required courses and maybe Drivers Ed. Juniors get to broaden their horizons a little bit as they look forward to being seniors. And finally seniors, they’re wrapping it up; taking that last credit or maybe going for a tough class to impress the colleges. Our interests vary here at Central. We have sports, clubs, music, drama and many other things, but we must not forget the reason we’re here: to learn. Because after all, academics is the Main Idea. This year there have been many changes which have created a certain amount of uncertainty for both teachers and students. The new city-wide grading policy raised the cut-off for an A” from 90 to 92%. “It squeezed me out of an “A,” said Janine Peck. Teachers too sense big changes. No one knows for sure whether he will be teaching at North of Central and what facilities will be assigned to eacn department is tentative at best. Changes in graduation requirements and curriculum give an aura of uncertainty also. Nevertheless such a professional staff will keep the Main Idea of quality education formost in everyone’s mind. The Main Idea 195 ACKBONE OF CHS IT ALL ADDS UP Trig, analyt. and pre-cal. What do they mean? They're all shortened forms for advanced math classes of trigonometry, analytic geometry, and pre-calculus. Math class enrollment have noticeably increased over the past couple of years. stated Mr. Sherwood, department head for mathematics. He continued on. Taking math classes is just the in thing to do now. Students want a broad approach when it comes to career goals. FUN FITNESS How many students ended up tak- ing basketball twice the same year? The Physical Education Department will eliminate that from happening. We want to get the schedules computerized so that incoming sophomores will have a chance to take everything we offer, from swimming to self-defense. commented jack Leabo. the new head of the Physical Education Department, jack Leabo wasn't the only one who took a step up this year. Tom Murnhy stepped up to Income the head coach of the football team while Randy Peters became head coach of the basketball team. All three of the men have proved to be a greater asset to the department. PEN INK Providing students with an oppor- tunity to competitively speak and write for an audience. With the writing and literature courses of- fered by the Language Arts Depart- ment. this statement becomes true whether students are involved in journalism, drama, or forensics. This is the last year for Language Arts as we now know it. Credits will be increased, and new courses will be offered as a new school year begins and according to department head Larry Minard. CHS is the ideal place for creative students to begin. CHEMICAL REACTION Ever get a yearning to go wading in hip boots at West Lake? No need to wait for the weekend to do this, just sign up for En- vironmental Biology with Mr. Christian. This is one of the new courses offered at CHS by the Science Department. E.B. is a lab orientated course geared toward man's uses and abuses of his environment. For example, we take samples of Mississippi River water to analyze for polu- tion. said Christian. Miss Sievert. department head, also included the Honors workshop as a new program in which advanced science students take a class jointly taught by Sievert and a professor at the University of Iowa for col- lege credit. The 60 chemistry students who have class every sixth period in the band room are proof nositive that at CHS. science is where it's at. BEHIND THE WHEEL Who wants to wait until they're 18 to get a driver's license? Nobody, that’s who. That’s why just about every student that comes through Central takes driver’s education. Mr. Newall said. Our purpose is to turn out a responsible driver — someone who can handle a car safely. Mr. Mark, depart- ment head. adds. Driving is too important to learn by chance or in a haphazard fashion. LEFT-RIGHT BRAIN coordlnallon. Bloom's Taxonomy, and the benefits of a patri.trch.il society.

LIFE SKILLS Teaching life skills is wha: we really do in Home Ec..’ said department head Betty Griffin, cooking and sewing are skills that people have tc learn in these tough times. Besides life skills such as cooking and sewing, this yeai the Home Economics Depart- ment offered two new classes: Creative Stitching and Foreign Foods which are designed to put basic skills tc the test in new and challeng- ing ways. Mrs. Griffin is real- ly excited about the new facility being built in the ad- dition. because it will allow for better use of space and equipment by next year's students. Mrs. Griffin sees the enroll- ment in Home Economics to remain somewhat stable in the coming years, which seems to indicate a growth in enrollment as next year Davenport’s third high school comes into being. CREATIVITY “I can’t wait to get out of this mess up here! said Mr. Ber- natz referring to the band room. Next year brings the big move of the music depart- ment from their hot. cramped quarters down into their new rooms in the new addition. Justice would not be done to Fine Arts without mentioning the art department. Headed by Jon Curtis, the success of his department is seen on the walls of the third floor in the form of drawings and water colors. The Fine Arts depart- ment is thriving largely due to the overwhelming creativi- ty' of Fine Arts students. 196 SOCIALIZING ) who needs the social iences anyway? Miss Hess ally got mad when asked is question but she gamely iplied, To make you good tizens. Remember you will ways have to interact with jople. In this department e deal not just with facts it also witn people and eir problems.” seems Central students ex- il in the area of social :ience. The average score i the social studies section the ITED’s was 95 % (a od 10 % above West udents). Mr. Crooks, apartment head, attributes iese high scores to the ighly motivated junior class. he message should be clear, aid Mr. Crooks. “We study le mistakes of the past so we ill not repeat them in the iture.

DOWN UNDER You probably thought you had it pretty rough trudging to gym in subzero temperatures, but even fur- ther down Main Street students are steadily trudging to the Industrial Arts building. The Industrial Arts building houses courses like drafting, welding, wood- working. and auto mechanics all of which benefit students by providing a solid background in business, in- dustry. and manufacturing. According to auto instructor Bob Filson, enrollment in In- dustrial Arts courses is slip- ping because of a push back to the basics, but with all the Industrial Arts relocated in the new addition next year, the future looks bright. Said Mr. Filson. Most students can't see the things we're do- ing down here, but next year we’ll have more contact with the main building.” And it’s about time the Industrial Arts Department gets the recogni- tion it deserves! TALENTED! You’re a what? GET AWAY! Oh ... I see ... you’re IN AGATE! Well, what is AGATE?” It’s Alternatives in Gifted and Talented Education, and a real party class. according to Eric Oberle. who is one of the 35 members of AGATE. AGATE has been offered at CHS for several years, but this is the first year that it has met as a regular credit class. According to Lynn Carroll, AGATE adviser to 'get into' AGATE, a student must be recommended by teachers, excel in their studies, and rank high on his her ITED’s. Besides daily assignments, members of AGATE are en- couraged to use creative thought processes that enhance their own talents. ENTERPRISING Rapid fingers, fast and furiously flying in the ... Business Department! But it has more to offer than just typing classes. If you are planning on college, why not invest in a shorthand or speed writing course? A new method known as the Forkner Shorthand System, was introduced with a sur- prisingly high success rate. It's easier to learn and use. therefore students are less discouraged and succeed more quickly,” commented Karen Johnson, business teacher. If COBOL. FORTRAN, flop- py disks, and CPU's form the basis of your vocabulary, why not sign up for PASCAL, the newest computer course? We’ve become very in- novative in the use of com- puters.” stated Marie Jeske. These and other changes ex- emplify the renovation going on in the Business Department. FITTING IN A small component of Cen- tral that needs special educa- tional help. That is how department head Larry Sher- man describes special educa- tion. The purpose of the pro- gram is to work with the strengths and weaknesses of the students — highlighting the strengths and compen- sating for the weaknesses. Since special education is funded differently, teachers try to integrate the students into the mainstream,” accor- ding to Mr. Sherman. They do this by staffing students in regular classrooms and utilize community resources by taking advantage of out- side speakers and community placement work. Students also spend time at non- paying exploratory work sites to get work experience. Special education is certainly special after all! Departments 197 nvisible influence 1A main attraction within our community was the Davenport School Board, and after spending 11 million dollars to convert Wood |r. High into North High, put an ad- dition on to CHS. and build a new junior high school it made them more visible to the community and students alike. As the gears turned in the process of one of the most controver- sial issues in the history of the school system. North High became known to everyone. But what about the people behind the decisions? A previous school board made the decision for a third high school, and current board member Clyde Mayfield felt that The last board has locked us into a bad situation. My goal is to not lock future boards into such a position with not much of a choice. The school board is a seven member team elected by the voters of Davenport which included President Ceorgia lecklin, Vice-President Kitty Schmidt. |eanita Harris. Bob McCue. Clyde Mayfield. Dr. L. J. Twyner. and Mary Williams. They set the policy for the school district anil the administration carries out that policy. North High School will open in the fall of '85 and the need for it was explained by Georgia Jecklin. The philosophy behind a third high school was that Central and West were much too large, and educationally a smaller environment would benefit the students, giving them a chance to participate more.” Although the money was available for the new junior high through the voted fund, a 67 Vi cent tax assessed on every $ 1000 worth of property, the source of the money to complete North and renovate Central was not yet known. “There will be a bond referendum and whether or not it will be passed. I don't know. said Georgia jecklin. With North High being the major issue facing the board, they also increased graduation requirements, and authorized the National Honor Society which will take effect next year. Georgia Jecklin was opposed to it saying that. With my experience as a teacher,I have seen similar organizations that have been harmful to some students. They don’t need that pressure at that young of an cage. Kitty Schmidt, on the other hand, agred with the policy saying. “It gives the students another opportunity to succeed.” CHS had its very own school board representative, Bradley Thomas. After taking his usual place next to Dr. Twyner. Bradley listened in and added his point of view to the topics discussed during the Monday night meetings at the Vocational Center which sometimes lasted more than four hours. This diverse board is very valuable to the Davenport Community Schools. You get input from a variety of people. said Kitty Schmidt. And although it’s not as easy, that's what makes us interesting!” BEFORE AN UPCOMING election on the voted fund.

It's the one certainty of high school life. Whether you do it or not. homework is always with you. You can do it and get it over with or you can ignore it and hope it I | | goes away. The people who actually do homework and get it over with are the ones who usually do well in school. The people who ig- nore homework and hope it goes away are the ones who have problems. For those who do homework it must be looked upon as a necessary evil. (There’s no hope for peo- ple who enjoy homework.) There are various ways of making homework more tolerable: play some tunes to relax yourself, turn on the TV so you don’t get bored with physics momentum problems, or drink some nutritious Mountain Dew chocked full of sugar and caffeine to keep your energy level high and your mind sharp on those late night essays for Brit. Lit. Where should you do homework? It varies, everyone's favorite is the Davenport Public Library, a good place to get some background info for your Expos, research paper and also catch up on the latest gossip. And don’t forget the old homestead where Mommy is always around to tell you that ’’tomorrow has one m” and two r’s” and. yes. you do have to go to school even if it’s not done. There is a secret society here at Central — a group of people who don’t have meetings and don't pay dues. These people are known as Procrastinators. They’re the ones who are firmly convinced that if they put that ASP assignment off long enough it will cease to exist. Procrastination is a problem for most people, but there is a hard core here at Cen- tral who have made it an art form. (Speaking of procrastination, even we at the Yearbook sometimes put things off till the last moment. It’s the night of the deadline and we're still working on this story.) The only good thing about homework is that it makes you appreciate how great it is not having any.

The answer is simple — Humanities journals are due tomorrow at Central High. Humanities was the only class that could give Mr. Thompson the opportunity to rock to his favorite musical group — the Beatles, of course. And what other class dedicated a unit to sex which gave Mr. Holladay the opportunity to accidentally disclose the details of his own sex life. What other class could give Mr. Rasmussen the chance to in- vite Geraldine Ferraro's daughter to our own CHS auditorium. And then there's Mr. Minard. Humanities gave him the chance to share his knowledge about almost everything — existen- tialism. romanticism, the Bible, and Aristotle’s definition of happiness to name a few. Right when the Humanities students were ready to refuse to look at another slide of Greek art, or copy another overhead of notes, the daily routine was broken. Whether it was a School Board meeting or a session with Jim Leach, the change of pace helped give the pages of notes real meaning. For example, students had a bit of trouble understan- ding existentialism, but the concept made a lot more sense after watching MTV in class with wild videos like Real Men Don't Eat Coyotes.” According to Mr. Minard the purpose of Humanities was to help students define themselves by studying philosophical alternatives and by listening to people discuss important issues. Sometimes it was the Humanities students themselves discussing important issues. Occa- sionally the discussions turned into arguments; that's when things really got rolling. Most of the discussing and or arguing took place in the small f;roup sessions where the class was divided into our informal sections. As Melissa Ihrig said. In small group you find out you’re in the same boat with everyone else.” To Humanities students the name Leo Buscaglia will always have special meaning. It was during the popular love unit that students learned everyone needs four hugs a day. In terms of Humanities' highlights the bus trip to Chicago ranked a close second behind Leo Buscaglia. The Chicago trip meant inspecting the Art Institute, shopping at Saks, and for John Gengler and friends the highlight of the trip was singing with Illinois Lotto balls. Students constantly complain about how dull and boring school is. Well, with fiery Buscaglia video tapes, discussion of controversial issues, a visit by a professor of sexual ethics, and two weeks of stu- dent projects, boring is not the word for Humanities at CHS. Not even close! Humanities 203 earching So where are you going to college? This is probably the most commonly asked question of seniors. Suddenly, leaving home and going off to college is no longer a childhood dream, it is now an adult night- mare. Tests to take, applications to fill out. essays to write, and colleges to visit. The whole process can be in- credibly intimidating. But the big pay-off comes when the prospective students get the official OK in the mail from the college of his or her choice. You might want the college, but does the college want you? Colleges look at many factors before making their decisions. Grade-point average, class rank, test scores, and extra-curricular activities. All play a part in the ad- mission process. What should a student look for in a college? According to counselor Donald McGee. Cost, distance, academic programs, size, and reputation are all important. Students should look around and weigh many schools before making a final decision. Tom Kainp, who's con- sideret! Northwestern and Boston University said, A person should choose a college that offers majors in all of areas they might pursue. Today, cost is probably the most important factor in the decision-making process. Tuitions range from about $4,000 per year at a state school such as Iowa State or U of I. to $15.000 for prestigious Ivy League or engineering schools. Scholarships are widely available but the sheer enormity of tuition costs over four years make all but the most extensive scholarships seem insignificant.” said Shyla Swan. “I keep a file of over 30 scholarships that I am eligible for. For some, a scholarship is the on- ly hope to attend a first choice college. Matt Wilber, who wants to study forensic science, said. I’d like to go to UCLA, but without a scholarship, I guess I'll have to set- tle for Iowa.” Despite financial and logistical problems, most college- bound seniors are excited about it. I want to start mak- ing my own decisions and be independent,” stated Tam- mi Kurzak. 204 But perhaps Shyla Swan summed it up by saying. It doesn't matter whether you go to Harvard or Scott Com- munity. College is what you make of it.” I'VE NEVER GOTTEN so much mail in all my life. says Kathy Bousum in exasperation, as she examines college literature. Photo: A. Elliott.

College Prep 205 }roblembusters When you get in trouble in a class, where do you go? When you have a problem with your schedule, whom do you talk with? When you’re confused and you think you I | can’t handle the homework, don't know what you want to do with your life, and just generally are mixed up. who’s the first person you should see? Your counselor is the answer. These six people — Miss Bea Rosenberg, Mr. Tom Buis. Mr. Bart Becker. Mr. Don McGee. Mr. Bob Gahoy. and Mr. Larry Peters represent your first line of defense because they know you and have known you for all three years of high school. The counselor is the student advocate.” said Assistant Principal. Paul Massman. he represents the student in conversations with teachers, ad- ministrators. parents, other students, and even himself. The counselor is the student's best friend.” Mr. Becker is typical of these special friends, who put in a day of varied activities, and like it that way. I like a diverse day,” explained Mr. Becker, it keeps me going. But what is a counselor’s day really like? Mr. Becker’s work day usually begins in the lounge at 7 a.m., where he talks to faculty members about problem students and daily agen- da. From 7:30 to noon is the busiest part of the counselor's day. for this is when he sees the majori- ty of teachers, students, and parents to work on schedules, makes changes, irons out communica- tion problems, and just generally works to make everyone happy. Counseling has its high points, like telling a student such as Cathy Peterson that she ranks very highly in her class, or that she may be eligible for a scholarship. On the other hand, the counselor is a good buffer and early warning system. He is also a shoulder to cry on when there are problems like a suicidal student, a serious illness, or a death in the family. I generally tell it like it is. postulated Mr. Becker, these kids need straight talk.” Most people don't see the paperwork and other ac- tivities which take up endless hours, but which help the student make intelligent choices. Writing recommendations, filling out scholarship forms, at- tending college meetings, making important phone calls, visiting students who are sick, or talking to concerned parents, and becoming involved in school activities — these are the extras which make our team of counselors perceptive and knowledgeable about everything going on at Cen- tral. as well as in the community. Because they are well-informed and conscientious, they are the glue which cements all of the relation- 206 ships together.

Day in the Life of a Counselor 207 ouble-barrelled Education Did you hear about the fourth high school? It has —” Wait! FOURTH high school?! What are you talking about?” Some people think that there are only three public high schools in Daven- port. (including North), but to over 200 students from both Central and West, there are four. The fourth one being the Vocational Center which is an extension of both schools. Although the Vocational Center has been open for ten years, it is still new to many students. The Vocational Center might not be around in another ten years, because of declining enroll- ment in many of the trade occupations such as welding, auto mechanics, and machine shop. Business Education added a prerequisite that limited the number of students in taking the class more than in past years. For the first time, many of the teachers who have had an overload of students are down to just a morning class re- quiring them to teach at other schools in the afternoon. One of the victims of low enrollment was the printing department which resulted in its cancellation. Welding teacher Bill Branch said. The economy in the Quad Cities is so bad that fewer people are hiring welders and machinists. In the past. John Deere. IH. and Cat. would ask for kids, now they're all cutting back on production. This is the first year the Vocational Center has faced a serious enrollment problem, and the path for the future doesn't look all that bright. The increased graduation requirements will definitely have an effect on the Vocational Center. Students' schedules won’t allow enough time for them to spend three hours at the center because more stress will be put on academics. Vocational and Adult Education Administator Keith Mattke said. Graduates who come back always say how they benefited from the classes either in college or on a job.” The reasons for its good output are three hour classes and the up- dated equipment. But because of money prob- lems and the constantly changing world it will become harder to keep up with all the latest machines. Business student Michele Larson said. Out here you learn more in a semester than you would at Central. It’s like a pre-college class. Some people are able to go from here directly to a full time job. It's really great!” Whether a student is preparing for college or a job. the special kind of education offered at the Vocational Center will be one to last a lifetime. Mattke described it best as. A double-barrelled education.” CHILD CARE SOUNDS like all fun and games, but Crystal Anderson wants to make it a learning experience as well, by preparing educational activities for the children she super- vises.

IXrhWe IW Remember When... our boys’ varsity basketball team was struggling so much that Activities Direc- tor Roger Brown had tolower the ticket prices to 50 cents so someone else would come to the games besides the team and the pep band. In the Variety Snow Master of Ceremonies Eric Engstrom announced a wake for the ’deceased” team, but it had to be called off when the team beat North Scott. Coach Peters felt the reports of the team's death were greatly exaggerated. Rcarffian. Iilba 83.143 Rcamlmrx. Bna 99 Riaa. IX'.inn.i 17.58. III. 111� . 165 Rms Konditl M 63. 149 Roth.

That's right — it’s no typo — it's sax as in saxophone. Eric in- troduced the CHS sax line with such winning lines as, “Have you had any good sax lately. Matt? The answer, of course, was no. But it was a tired old one-liner that brought down the house. Do you smoke after sax. Eric? asked Matt. And Eric replied. 1 don't know Matt — I never checked. Schroa-drr. I Vanne M 59 Sharkev.

You know-like, an expression.” And rock they did. With KXJH disc jockey providing the music and alrbands adding to the entertainment, everyone was ready to kick up their heels and dance the night away. Out came the closet Madonnas, the “Box- ing Kangaroo”, and yes, even the Glad” Lady alias Julie Karwath, who entered sport- ing the latest in garbage bag fashions. “Most of the costumes were pretty outrageous. Peo- ple were obviously trying to express something through their clothes,” noted Melissa Wagner. However, this chance for self-expression was very nearly lost. There seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm shown by the students, and that, coupled with having a track meet scheduled for the same day, made the decision to postpone an aud until a later date appear to be the death blow. The dance was in danger of being canceled unless 150 tickets were sold. “When only 8 tickets had been sold Wednes- day, we started to get worried, but we an- ticipated a pick up in sales on Thursday and Friday. There are never very many tickets sold at the beginning,” explained Laura Butler, publicity chairman for the dance. “Students are just natural procrastinators. Everything is done and decided at the last minute, and this was no exception,” added STUCO advisor Barb Hess. While all stories don't have happy endings, this one did. Despite all of the negative feel- ings that surrounded Spring Fling, the students pulled together and turned the dance into quite a success. Everyone seemed to have a good time Rockin’ ‘til Midnight.

BREAKING AWAY As the name implies, spring break is a vaca- tion in April which is eagerly anticipated by everyone, especially Central students. As Brad Kelly said, The day I got back from Christmas vacation, I looked at the calendar and counted the days until spring break. The purpose of spring break, as Dawn Cook put it, to take a break from school, so when you come back you can start on a new foot. When people think of spring break, the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind is Fort Lauderdale,” explains Tracey Gilpatrick, “but not all of us get to go.” Tracey did, however get to spend her spring break in California visiting her brother. “Spring break should be fun in the sun,” said Lisa Wymore, but students who remained in the Quad Cities were forced to contend with rainy weather all week. For some CHS students, spring break was a chance to visit distant relatives and leave Davenport for a week. Mia Houston visited her cousins in Florida and commented, a groovy tan, in a groovy place, with groovy people makes a groovy vacation. Dig?” For others it was a chance to relax and catch up on much needed sleep as Dan Murrell did, but surprisingly he got too much sleep.” Though activities over the week varied, no one can deny that it was a pleasant side step to everyday school life. Activities over spring vacation included the usual of partying and sleeping late, but some students described interesting high points. Melissa Critchfield traveled to New Hampshire to visit her nephew for the first time, and Neil Schippers went to Chicago to sample the night life. Davenport doesn’t even compare,” he said. Also, forty CHS ski bums found their trip to Dillon, Colorado a most memorable experience. As Greg White described, sun, snow and Colorado women were definitely the strong points of my trip.” Miles away, others, like Steve Mack, Jeff Witte, and John Holladay basked in the hot sun of Florida, but for most, like Joe Moseley related, “My trips went about as far as the refrigerator.” • 4 Kotky Oliior cmUi'I lot am AFTf THl LONG wimtar, Crndy SkaHam. iota Skaki, amd Cimdy it� f$t.

We are also the lesser known people, those who make their own special contributions to society. The diverse student body contains many students who excel in areas as varied as their talents. Our scientists have been recognized for their fine accomplishments in different areas. More APP students participated in the Hawkeye State Science Fair than ever before. Mark Anderson won at the fair and continued to the International Science and Engineering Fair held on May 11 through the 19th. Mark attributes his successs to ‘‘motivation, creativity and perseverance.” Instructor Mary Sievert was awarded the 1985 CM A Regional Catalyst Award on April 25. Central’s artist were also acknowleged. Mandy Pierce and other fellow artists contended in the Senior Scholastics contest. She won the Hallmark nomination, the gold key, and an Honorable Merit. Mike Lund created a design for the Davenport Police Depart- ment’s patch, quite a credit to the art department. Talent abounded in the music depart- ment and it’s many outstanding achievements. At State contest, on March 30, the band, orchestra and chorus racked up 89 Division I ratings. The contest was a series of individual events with some musi- cians receiving I’s in every event. Two reci- pients for music scholarships were Mike Kennedy and Tom Kamp. Mike won a Music Honors Tuition Scholarship to the University of Iowa, while Tom won the Mortiboy Scholarship. The qualities need- ed to earn these scholarships were ‘‘musi- cianship and sense of knowing where I want to end up,” states Tom. Honors are seldom overlooked in the athletics department. Rodney Taylor, Mike Kelling, Dale Wriedt, Steve Williams and other talented athletes were offered football scholarships to regional colleges. Not only students receive honors; Ira Dunsworth, head boys’ track coach, was awarded the regional Coach of the Year award. The only problem with awards is the deserving who aren't recognized. For ex- ample, “The Special Olympics team gets recognition once a year, but for the disabl- ed, every day is a battle to be fought,” observed Julie Ralston. Most students don’t notice many feats, but the effort is not forgotten as explained by Mark Ander- son, “It’s pointless to compare yourself to others because in the final tally, it is not going to make a bit of difference. The im- portant thing is attaining your full poten- tial and being happy with yourself.

They’re off! As the Jesse Day Relays continued, the Central Girls’ Track Team came up from behind to take an astonishing lead of 8.5 points to defeat North Scott and six other teams. The long two-hour practices finally paid off as the Girls swept away with three first places: Shuttle Hurdle Relay, 800 Meter Relay, and the 400 Meter Relay. Along with this, they picked up two second places in the Sprint Medley Relay and the 1600 Meter Relay. The efforts of K. Jansen, L. Duax, K. Frei, and M. Duke added fifth place points in the 3200 Meter Relay to the team’s score. In- dividuals K. Martin tied for third place in the high jump and C. Nunn took fifth in the long jump. Track is an individual sport which re- quires a team effort explained Cindy Puck. After all of the individual and team events ended, the team united once more in order to sing the school song and take a victory lap signifying their successful day. Another item which signified their suc- cessful day was the fact that two of the relay teams qualified for the Drake Relays. They were the 400 Meter Relay which consisted of C. Nunn. K. Burke. J. Roberts, and K. Friederichs and the 1600 Meter Relay which consisted of L. Case, K. Jansen. K. Friederichs and C. Puck. Even though the team wasn’t as deep as last years’, a few of the athletes stood above the rest: L. Case, K. Friederichs, K. Martin, C. Nunn, C. Puck, and J. Roberts. The outstanding sophomores that have a promis- ing future in track at Central are C. Hester and K. Jansen. Coach Randy Peters thought that the key to their season was “to do the best that we could do with whatever we had. The out- come of the Jesse Day Relays certainly prov- ed their goals and their successes. Maybe Teresa Wilkinson summed the season up best when she stated, “we didn’t have the poten- tial that we had last year, but we had the am- bition.’’ ONtr S0PH0M0Kl TO «aatty for Drat t.hyt, Kolly J t a parfacfi k r ha� in ft Shottio Harriot at T ai Murphy aac raf� f y faats aa.

Gary Garrett added, It’s a final chance to see all of your friends before going on to different schools and colleges. For the girls, Prom night started off desperately avoiding the temptation of biting into freshly painted fingernails in anticipa- tion of the evening ahead. For the guys, it began with shaky hands attempting to perfect that bow tie that never seems quite right, and constant adjustment of their cumberbunds. Despite the restless tension. The 1985 Prom was undoubtedly a huge success, and according to Dave Sallak, Not a moment was wasted.” Senior Class Treasurer Shyla Swan explain- ed that this year’s theme, Through the Years,” was chosen to focus on the achievements of the graduating class. Although acute cases of Spring Fever and Senioritis tended to generate feelings of pro- crastination, more than 150 couples managed to organize this special evening down to the finest detail- an evening comprised of romance and rememberances, old friends and future dreams. Perhaps Prom can be summed up best by Troy Jungjohann who said, “It was the perfect ending to a memorable year.” NOTHING IIKI MASSAGING tho orchts to moko a fur ton fool Uko done- inf again, toys Brian Kuchonbockor to Joan Darbythiro.

Ptttrsta. NET GAIN Control, an essential factor in the game of tennis, was the key to both the girls’ and boys’ tennis teams this season. In order to win, you must play in a logical manner and a controlled attitude looks good on court,” explained Doug Budde. It was this attitude that led to a successful season for the teams during their period of rebuilding. We had nine seniors graduate last year, so of course one of our greatest weaknesses is our lack of depth, said Coach Larry Jacobson. “While our top five girls are very solid, the others just need more ex- perience on the court,” added Coach Betty Christian. However, inexperience and lack of depth weren’t always the deciding factors. An upset victory over top-seeded Bettendorf by the boys’ team, 7-2, boosted their con- fidence and led to further victories. The girls’ team, while being defeated 5-4, were also proud of the near victory over their neighboring rival, Bettendorf. With a lack of depth already being a problem, what effect will the opening of North have on the teams? Christian feels that it will “spread out the wealth, allow- ing more people to compete.” Top-seed Todd Gilbert added, Both teams will probably be weak the first couple of years, but we should be good rivals for each other.” Jacquii Froehlich summed things up when she said, A successful season is when everyone does the best they can-- win or lose. Winning just makes success that much sweeter.” SILENT RUNNING “It’s a weird feeling when you run; you block out the crowd— you can only hear your heart beat and the air rushing through your lungs,” said Sean Graves. “It’s like running in a tunnel.” But for “running in a tunnel,” the boys’ track team has done quite well— taking State for the past three years, with the hope of mak- ing it four in a row. As Stan Sherwood pointed out, Although the track team is not as strong as it was last year, the team has a good shot at State.” In the Jesse Day Relays on Friday, April 19, Central was clearly the winner with 58.5 points and the closest competitor West, having 54 points. “Difficult com- petition, bad weather, and tough Chicago schools made the Moline Invitational our most difficult meet,” states Coach Ira Dunsworth. Therefore, it wasn’t all that easy for the track team. While it appears the team was off to a good start, next year’s team will be altered by the introduction of North High School. Gerald Conner remarked, I think that the talent will even out and Central will not be so dominant.” As the old saying goes, “practice makes perfect,” and practice is what the boys’ track team does often, such as the minimum of six hours of practice that Rob Ankum contributes. Rob also observed, “The Olympics inspired me to try harder to be a winner.” Maybe Coach Dunsworth summed up best the key to this track team as “hard work and dedication,” and he predicts in regard to State, “So many things can happen, if we get the breaks, we could win the championship for the fourth consecutive year.’’ tors' TRACK SQUAD: Front row: S.

FIELD GOALS When faced with the task of putting together a varsity soccer team in one short year, many coaches-to-be would opt for a more easily obtainable goal. Sandy Flaherty, coach of the fledgling girls’ soccer team, assumed this role and problems seemed to come from everywhere. At the organizational meeting, 80 girls attended, yet only 25 re- mained at the first game. “The very wide range of skills,” said Flaherty, “increased our difficulties.” The team, although lacking the playing experience, defeated Muscatine 8-2 early in the season. Meanwhile, the boys’ team, led by Coaches Bill Kortemeyer and Thom Gleich began its sixth season with a plan stressing “team thinking.” Gleich believes, “Soccer is 90% from the shoulders up. The mental skills must be emphasized because the physical aspect is easier to work at and improve.” Alex Mongiat added, “We need to work and com- municate as a team.” The girls’ team took a similar approach. Aletheia Turner, halfback for the girls, commented, “Thinking about the game and knowing what’s going on is equally important as having the skills mastered.” Soccer is a sport quickly gaining popularity throughout the world and CHS. Both Flaher- ty and Gleich believe soccer’s increasing popularity will allow the teams to build upon their skills and improve upon current stand- ings. Is there a future for soccer at Central? Kris Vandelune of the girls’ team thinks so: “Every year that people stay on, and the more that join, the more we’ll improve!” SWINGER’S CLUB Believe it or not, golfers do sweat. Maybe not from physical exertion, but certainly from mental- and that’s the kind of sweat that hurts the most. As senior Ellie Keppy, who has also competed in other team sports, points out, “I think golf is harder in the men- tal sense than any other sport I’ve played. You have to have a really high level of concen- tration.” Rarely do golfers have a crowd of devoted fans cheering them on, and that’s why team support is so important. Wheter it’s by insira- tion— freshman Chris Eozik explains that senior Jim Jensen helps him just by “being good”— or by bolstering self-confidence when things go wrong, comaraderie is just as im- portant on the golf team as it is on any other. And if all else fails, the girls have come up with their own fool-proof solution. When they get “in the rough” on the course as well as mentally, they reach for specially prepared baggies filled with lifesavers, bubble gum, and other morale-boosters (but no drugs) sup- plied by Coach “Henry”. The outlook of the girls’ golf team is hopeful. Though they started out with a loss to Assumption, they quickly recovered with a victory over West at home the following week. “I think we’re going to be really com- petitive,” states second-ranked senior Karen DeSalvo. “If we can get two people in the for- ties and two in the fifties, we’ll be fine.” One big advantage the girls’ team has this year is that over half of them are seniors with lots of playing experience behind them, while the lower classmen are also very talented. On the other hand, the boys’ team has had to deal with a lot of “new blood,” including a new coach. Don Grensing, who has also coached tennis, basketball, and football, has replaced Jim Fox as golf coach this year. He believes that one of the major obstacles to be overcome this season is the “lack of upper classmen playing.” But with medallist- winner Jensen to set an example, Grensing believes that “as the sophomores come along and become more experienced, we can hope to be challenging.” The team hopes to defeat favored rivals Bettendorf and Clinton in the immediate future, but their long-term goals are to have a “winning season, challenge for the conference championship, and to go to regionals,” says Grensing. And of course, everyone dreams of state. Golf is unique from the average team sport. It requires concentration, self-discipline, and a degree of craziness. Craziness? “Wacko” is how Keppy describes it. She goes on to say, “I think you have to be a little weird to play golf. It’s not the most popular sport at Cen- tral.” if®: C.
