SCHOOL LIFE .... 7aUe af Gcuufmu if Zlmwaad With the termination of World War ll has come the turning locally to plans for civic improvement. La Crosse, situated ideally between scenic bluffs and the Mississippi River, offers much in addition to a picturesque setting. Its schools from grade through college are progressive and constantly adapting themselves to the demands of the time. lndustry, as exemplified by the numerous factories, has an interesting improvement and expansion program. To already excellent transportation facilities has been added the crowning achievement of l946, the new municipal airport. A new venture, also, is the city recreation program with its year-round schedule of indoor and outdoor activities for all groups. Building plans in the down-town district, some already materializing, will soon offer new space for professions and businesses. Over a thousand homes are schedul- ed to be built and almost two thousand are waiting for improvements and repairs. To its young people who haveability and ambition,post-war La Crosse presents inviting and challenging opportunities. Robert Abegglen, 2nd Lieutenant, U. S.

Scalll f This year is Mr. Scott's twentieth as head of Central l-ligh School. ln grateful appreciation of the efficiency and understanding with which he has always worked with us and for us, we dedicate this, our l946 Booster, to him. When Mr, Scott became principal, Central was a four-year high school and the only high school in La Crosse. The program had nine periods, the fifth and sixth being scheduled during the noon hour. With the building of Logan and Aquinas the enrollment dropped, however, a change in the city system soon sent it up again. The junior-senior high plan was adopted, and Central made room for grades seven through twelve. An enrollment of over l55O more than filled the building, and the addressing the senior class. . Principal Scott raking his garden and leaving for a prin- pals' meeting. faculty was increased to meet requirements. Following the reconversion of the Washington School and the building of Longfellow Junior l-ligh in l94O, grades seven, eight, and nine were removed to these buildings. Since then Central has housed only the senior high, the hour-period and the six-period program have been established. Among current changes af- fecting Central is the discontinuing of mid- year promotions, the last January class enter- ing in l946. Carl l.

Secretly dreading that this, their last semester, might be deglamorized by a gory class on broken legs and third degree burns, the girls found the first few days tedious and confusing. Unknowingly, however, they be- came gradually more eager to par- ticipate in the conversation and discover the fun of demonstra- tions and experiments. Each girl was aware of the consequences of absences. At the end of the course the one guilty of missing the most classes or neglecting her work, was the victim for the bed bath, a humorous occasion for all but the patient. Planning and making such practical crafts as toy dolls, bed-side tables, play pens, Christmas cards, and imple- ments of first aid, was an all- semester job for many of the girls, while others willingly man- aged to turn in two or more art- icles showing their interest. All temperatures and pulses being normal on the last day of class, according to the meticulous maids, they filed out with more than one expression of delight, Gee, what fun it has been. Top: Rolly polly dolls carefully stitch- ed, pose tor the admiration of the passer-by. Center: Displayed at the Red Cross exhibition are small toys made by girls in the home nursing classes.

For the boys and girls attending school in the good old days of the horseless carriage, walking had that certain quality of dashing the lingering traces of sleep from tired eyes, a quality which it still main- tains. Today, however, students find a snappy ride in an open-air jalopy tar more invigorating than a brisk walk, and many own their cars on a co-op basis or induce dad to walk to work. He needs the exercise, you know. Early in the spring and in the fall bicycles are lined up in or out of the racks forming a silvery pattern, never the same. There is no style among cyclists, as one sees anything from old lt father lets us use the car or if we own a share in one, If we came from La Crescent, we very probably travel we park proudly on Fifteenth Street. via the Riverview Bus Line. lf we own no private conveyance, the l6th If we were Jim Osgaard, we would save shoes Street bus serves us efficiently. by riding on a fleet motorcycle. . . . amd pecfedlaaind two-wheelers, resurrected from the junk pile, to shiny, well-kept affairs.

At the traditional spring meeting occurs the candle-lighted ceremony of initia- tion, at which the purpose of Circle is inspiringly and strikingly explained. This initiation is followed by a tea and impromptu skits in which all members and guests participate. Requirements for admission include at least a B av- erage in each of four subjects, good at- tendance, punctuality, and an accumu- lation of at least 24 points for soph- omores, 30 for juniors, and 36 for sen- iors. Points are given for membership in organizations, offices held, honors won, and various other activities en- gaged in by honor students. This means that members not only are seen carry- ing stacks of homework but are also engaged in a whirlwind of activities which may include anything from the lead in the operetta to making the winning touchdown. Certificates of membership are awarded at com- mencement. On these are a seal show- ing a candle enclosed in a circle, a statement that membership has been won through distinguished leadership in scholarship and student activities, and the signature of the adviser and principal. Versatile scholars, athletes, and club leaders may indeed be proud of receiving this recognition which is the highest otfered by Central. Miss l-layes, the adviser, is assisted by Miss Taras and Mr. Smith.

What kind of covers will they have this year? These and sundry other queries echoing through Cen- tral's spacious halls are ans- wered when the BOOSTER BUSINESS STAFF announces, Boosters will be distributed in home rooms tonight at three-thirty. Few Centralites, in the flurry of signing every- one else's Booster during and between class periods, realize just how much this simple an- nouncement leaves unsaid. lt fails to mention the fact that the sale and delivery of the an- nuals is entirely in the hands of the business staff. If also ignores the reason why Mr. Fregin is so proud of his staff this year. These sixteen super- salesmen, under the leadership of chairman Patricia Haller, really went to town and rais- ed the total sales to La Crosse businessmen from the 55 of four years ago to an all time high of almost 95 for this year. Some made as many as six or eight attempts before getting in to see some busy tycoon, but when they dicl, they -- like the lvlounties -- got their man. ncf Salzcalofzd The great day arrives-Boosters are distributed!

However, the first two years found it only a small sheet. Gradually it de- veloped to its present size. For a quarter ofa century reporters have eagerly scoured the halls for bits of news, typists have beaten out the hieroglyphics of the written page, proofreaders have detected the mis- takes, artists have wielded their tools, and editor after editor has sliced the galleys and made up the pages.

Crashl The HIGH TRIB BUSINESS STAFF has broken another record. This year our ad men garnered a larg- er number of advertisements than ever before. The income from these advertisements goes into the making of a better paper for the school, and thus makes the work of the staff im- portant.. Under the direction of Miss Roche, the adviser, the co-managers, John Fantle and Robert Storey, the staff was unusually well organized this year. At the beginning of each semester, members of this organiza- tion secure new ads. Milling all through the business district of La Crosse, these go-getters ferret out every business establishment and se- cure its support for our paper. How- ever, not satisfied with these exten- sive tasks alone, the staff also takes care of the distribution of the paper. Miss Roche's homeroom bundles the papers for each homeroom in school and mails papers to all advertised es- tablishments in the city. Deliveries are also made to La Crescent by one of the students of Miss Roche's staff. The year's doings were celebrated at the annual High Trib banquet which is a joint undertaking by the High Trib Business Staff and the editorial roster. Toasts are made, speeches are given, and a jolly time is always a cer- tainty. Top Row: B. Lea, D. Lune, Fannie, W. Lucdtke, W. Pappas, A. Smith, C. Loe'ller, J. Allemand. Fourth Row: S. Tomalka.

Before the critical and helpful eyes of their fellow elocutionists and of their adviser, Miss Bach, FALCONER members have been giving short talks to cultivate poise and skill in the art of public speaking. They strive for perfection in the essentials of speech: organization, enunciation, and expres- sion. While spending much time in reorganizing the group, these ambi- tious speakers have not hestitated to combine food and fun with their ser- ious efforts. Since microphone tech- nique is one phase of public speaking, the club chose as a climax of its spring events the broadcasting in as- sembly of a radio play, Let Me Come Back, the hero of which is the ghost of a war hero that appears at school to convince students of the value of A scene from a typical Falconer meeting where thoughtful faces are directed toward the orator. .fencf W4 awz Zan education.

New members this year are Bill Pappas, Dick Renner, Dwain Ramlo, Marjorie Markgraf, Elizabeth Weber, Dorothy Greer, Robert Wartinbee, and Mary Ellen Arnet. Philip Brieske, president for the first semester handed the gavel to Robert Wartinbee at the be- ginning of the second half year.

Those who supposed that with world peace there would be a lack of topics for discussion were due for a surprise. On the contrary it seemed as though there were more problems than ever on the bill of fare. Peace time military training, atom bomb secrets, and the war crimes trials were but a few of the varied subjects. At the bi- weekly meetings the pro and con of the questions were presented, then everyone was free to elucidate his own opinion. The purpose was not to reach a definite conclusion but to bring out every side to each question. In the as- sembly given in November by Forum members many enlightening reforms beneficial to Central were brought to notice, and the student body partici- pated in the lively debate. Feasts, one of the main-stays of any organization, were held to the mutual delight of all. The inter-school get-togethers with Aquinas and Logan were very popular and much was gained from the ex- change of ideas. Topics of local, na- tional, and international scope were argued with equal fervor at these in- formative sessions. The adviser was Mr. Henry Schwandt and the officers for the first semester were, president, James Cross, vice-president, Muriel Rasmussong secretary-treasurer, Pat Mathy. Their successors were Marita Torgerson, Glen lley, and Sue Brindley. Marita Toirgerson presides at the last meeting of Forum. fbauile - 7alk '7fze .fiilffe Gangfieu S. T. C. enthusiastically supported the courtesy campaign by decorating the bulletin board in the main cor- ridor. Central, too, is run democratically. ln September each home room elects one delegate to represent it in a policy- forming body, the STUDENT-TEACH- ER COUNCIL. This group brings a closer relationship between faculty and students and aims to improve general school conditions. Several committees which are appointed analyze school problems and present them to the en- tire council for discussion and voting. Chief among the committees are the Assembly, Social, and Courtesy. This year the council sent two delegates, Betty Wisland and Nancy l-lanson, and an adviser, Mr. Smith, to a northwest sectional meeting of the National S.T.C. at Prairie du Chien. Their pur- pose was to represent Central and to bring back with them constructive ideas for the more effective function- ing of our council. The S.T.C. meets the third Monday of the school month. A student may, if he wishes, sit in at the sessions. A celebrated event, made colorful with hilarious speeches and ar- resting posters, was the campaigning for the election of president. James Berg came out on top to occupy the executive chair. The remaining officers were chosen by the members of the or- ganization. This year Jim had for his cabinet Dick Renner, vice-president, Ruth Sorenson, secretary, Patricia Mathy, corresponding secretary, and Helen Hellwig, treasurer, Mr. Hether- ington, Mr. Smith, Miss Brady, and Miss Malchow are faculty representa- tives.

The annual plea, Won't you spare a quarter for the Red Cross? finds Centralites spon- taneously digging deep. Although war relief demands have tapered off, chil- dren of Europe wage an endless battle against starvation. Students practiced self-denial in giving to their European contemporaries. Organized by home room representation and advised by Miss Hayes, Red Cross executed num- erous worthy projects.

Although every rule of the game was violated, spectat- ors and referees alike laughingly per- mitted the hilarious pranks. Between halves the teachers set up card tables and staged a tea-party. The proceeds from the game, 5202, went to the Red Cross, its sponsor.

One of the first things fledgling Centralites hear about is a mysterious and revered organization known as TWO-TWELVE, After being informed of the location, the curious investigat- or finds that Two-Twelve is not the password of a secret clan but the num- ber ofa study hall. At first it appears that those entering differ little from the rest of the species found in Cen- tral. On second glance, however, he ob- serves that the inhabitants carry the following: a few more books than the usual armful, a look of reasonable in- telligence, and most important, an air of freedom. When the bell rings he is surprised to see that there is no teach- er presiding, but a student. Walking into this new-found Utopia, he ques- tions the student at the desk who tells him Two-Twelve's story. Founded some years ago, it is an honor study hall. A member must have high grades and a recommendation from his teachers. The government is very democratic with the members electing a student executive and a roll taker for each pe- riod. These executives meet regularly to solve current study problems. lf there is anyone who fails to stand by the liberal rules and regulations, he is referred to Mr. Evans, the adviser, whereupon the erring student is trans- ferred to a teacher-controlled study hall. The tale ends, and another soph aspires to membership in Two-Twelve, Two executives in 212 discuss the impending problems of the honor sl-udy hall.

They congregate in Room ZO at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon. lt is the biweekly meeting of the SCIENCE CLUB-the Darwins, Kochs, and Curies of the future. Behind closed doors these scientifically-minded indi- viduals discuss everything from their next inspection tour of a factory or their pre-view of a new movie on atomic developments, to the arrange- ments for the next party. Interesting movies concerning light and energy were shown at two of the meetings, but the greatest enjoyment lay in visiting various factories, utilities, and indus- tries. Under the leadership of Mr. Scherich the club made monthly excur- sions which led them to the G. l-leile- man Brewing Company, a lumber camp on the West Channel of the Missis- sippi, the Dolly Madison Dairies, the Sewage Disposal Plant, and the chlor- inating system at Central. After the formalities of business have been set- tled, the scientists test the nutritive value of hot dogs, ice cream, and pop. These feeds add flavor and many a new member to the club's roster. The offi- cers of the organization were: Dick Renner, president, and Janice Geiwitz, secretary-treasurer for the first semes- ter. They were succeeded respectively by Robert Wendt and Lois Bakkum for the second semester. During this term Paul Gatterdam was elected vice presi- dent- Top Row: R. Wendt, P. Bricskc, Iwi, Scott. B.

Central's dramatic prodigies, the MASQUERS, possess the stage, dripping with grease paint and bubbling over with ability and enthusiasm. Collaborating with Harlequins, they presented two plays. The Goose Hangs High was the spring production. Quiet, Please, a one-act comedy, was presented in as- sembly. Masquer members, busier than ever, acquired stage presence, more euphonic voices, and skill in stagficraft in their workshops which were actually classes in the technique of acting, voice, and make-up. These workshops held a place of prominence at regular meetings. Some meetings saw double features when a committee of mem- bers, illustrating the proverb, Practice makes perfect, presented programs demonstrating what had been learned in the workshops. Although on the stage, the girls refuse to diet. Their feeds are huge and indescribable con- glomerations of everything that can be devoured. With the graduation of half of the members in June, l945, the ranks of Masquers were almost disas- trously reduced. However, eighteen novices with ability and promise were admitted after terrifying tryouts, and the work of the club went on. Miss Murley is the sponsor. Officers for the two semesters were: presidents, Jane Hale, Margo Gikling, vice-presidents, Margo Gikling, Nancy Hanson, secre- taries, Sue Obermowe, Marian Nie- buhr, treasurers, Nancy Hanson, Bev- erly Saltz.

As nothing in the constitution forbade the president's leaving the room, the im- peachment was slightly irregular, but So are the Harlequins.

Charles Pearson and Douglas Kraus co-starred as the hill- billy brothers who, though living in the same cabin, had naught to do with each other due to some ancient and forgot- ten grudge. Climaxing the year's dra- matic work was the spring play, The Goose Hangs High, by Lewis Beach, Dick Renner and Bill Wagner having the male leads. Life for Harlequin members is not all emoting and devel- oping pear-shaped tones, however. Fol- lowing the all school play was the Masquer-Harlequin party which served to rally those who seemed slightly overcome by the artistic efforts. Miss Stillman, succeeding Miss Brody as Harlequin adviser, has done a good job. Proudly displaying the new L. R.

The hall guide's command, Signl is little heeded by these dignitaries from Mr. Scott's executive quarters, for around their necks dangles a small label, OFFICE Their silent deeds, unnoticed by the unobservant mob at Central, have caused the office secre- tary to heave many a grateful sigh. Whether it be guarding lost articles, answering the telephone, collecting at- tendance slips, or stamping lVlother's League invitations, the girls are always eager to satisfy. Most of them admit that their first few days were embar- rassing ones, tripping over feet in class rooms, trying in vain to ignore whistles, or paging the wrong blonde. However, these trifles conquered, be- ing office-help tends to build person- ality. lt takes poise and just plain grit to step intoa machine shop class or walk through the gym with sixty mas- culine eyes silently, or sometimes not so silently, appraising every movement. lt takes courtesy in meeting the many busy people that come into the office, while quick thinking and patience are necessary in dealing with those that enter out-of-temper. Consequently these girls acquire the desirable qual- ity of understanding. In January Cen- tral lost to a handsome corporal its charming secretary of three years.

Rah-yea., Girls passing Room l5Z after school are occasionally startled by a loud Hubba Hubba l only to discover that the PEP CLUB cheerleaders are just having an enthusiastic practice session. The recent addition of three male cheerleaders-Bill Luedke, Don MacLachlan, and Paul Lieck-may account for the new zip in Central's cheers. The aim of the seventy members of the Pep Club is to build up sportsmanship and school spirit. In the past this has been accomplish- ed through pep assemblies. Last fall, how- ever, on account of the polio ban which for- bade large gatherings in closed rooms, all assemblies were discontinued. Undaunted, in spite of restrictions, these determined Centralites staged a big demonstration out- 68 doors on Central's athletic field just before the big Central-Logan game. As an added touch members put out the red and black Yeal Central l buttons, winning the envy of Logan and Aquinas. They also came out with several new yells, among them the Fifteen Rahs and the aforementioned Hubbal Hubbal This year, for the first time, the Pep Club has adopted a constitu- tion and members are now being awarded Circle points. The Pep Club, despite many difficulties, has really accomplished much toward creating Central's school spirit, thanks to Mr. Schwandt, its adviser, and its officers: Sally lvlarkos, president, Betty Smith, vice-president, and Bill Luedke, sec- retary-treasurer.

Reaefweff, Lui Gala To find a satisfactory synonym for the GIRL RESERVES, one needs only to look at a part of their code, ready for service, ever dependable. Not at all the procrastinating type, Girl Reserves are constantly at work to prove their bit of their heritage. So, if you can keep the pace, follow along while they deck the school's halls with holly, ring out the glad tidings for the Old FoIk's Home during the yuletide season, or dexterously serve at the Y. W. C. A. banquet. But all work and no play never made a Girl Reserve a dull Jill. Entertainment on the slate at the bi-weekly gatherings includes everything from quiz games to movies. There is al- ways a galaxy of fun and frolic at the in- numerable parties, treasure hunts, hikes, and athletic nights. Those who attended vowed that the Girl Reserve-sponsored Val- entine dance would have assured the patron saint his efforts were not in vain. The sym- bolic Girl Reserve ring is the most coveted object in this organization, The girl aspir- ing to its possession must meet certain standards, faithfully attend and participate in the special ring meetings, and receive the approval of both the adviser and the Y. W. C. A. secretary. Presiding at all their group activities were Dorothy Busness, president, Lois Spika, vice president, Modesta Parnow, secretary, Audrey Niebuhr, treasurer, and Miss Theodora Taras, adviser. 69 fncfidpendadle Jul Zhi!!-GILGZJGJ On the job back stage, the crew regulates lighting effects for o school production. Yes, that is the STAGE CREW, the unsung heroes of Central High. Al- though their activities range from cleaning the stage, to running the movies, and to building stage scenery, they never get into the limelight. Un- der the leadership of its adviser, D. R. Wartinbee, the squad works as hard as any other assemblage at Central. When the music department put on its annual Musical Varieties and The Mikado, the stage crew members donned their paint-spattered white uniforms, and with hammer, saw, and paint brush in hand, they created trees, cherry blossoms, palaces, and anything else the directors asked for. Not busy enough with creating and operating the stage scenery and lighting for the productions of the music department and the lvlasquer-Harlequin presenta- tions, these eager beavers are often called to the Vocational School to man- ipulate the stage apparatus for the Junior Programs. In addition to the ad- viser there are head crewmen to super- vise the work. Ronald Otto and James Van Tassel were the leaders for the first semester while Van Tassel alone was the manager for the second semes- ter. Numbering only ten, the crew does the work of twenty efficiently. Just as efficiently do these fellows celebrate at their annual party when the gym and swimming pool are turn- ed over to them for an entire evening. Top Row: R. Burthelcl, J. Su-clu. R. Otto. J.

Blew, Eaqft, Elem Tap Tap goes the baton, and the eighty musicians of Central's BAND are ready to play the finale of Tschai- kowsky's Fourth Symphony in F minor, Hoagy CarmichaeI's Star- dust, or anything else from Bach to boogie. Under the direction of Harmer Root, assisted by Messrs. Anderson and Mikelson, the band has set new standards of accomplishment and reached a peak in membership. Not satisfied with outstanding perform- ances in the Memorial Day parade and at several football games, it strove to surpass all previous achievements in presenting the second annual Musical Varieties. The bandsters proved their mettle and dexterity by playing beauti- fully the extraordinarily difficult Fi- nalein F Minor and then rendering a few lighter works which appealed tc the sense of humor of the audience. The two-year old stage band, a part of the regular band, gave several stellar presentations in the Musical Varieties and at several assemblies at Central High and Lincoln Junior High. It also swept the chords for a dance at the an- nual Mothers' League Coffee. Some of the jive tunes played at various per- formances were Southern Fried, Second Balcony Jump, and that sen- timental bit of rhythm, Moonlight Serenade. Just as much as all the maestros enioy playing music, they en- joy kittenball, football, and many oth- er games at the annual music depart- ment picnic which is held out of town in the latter part of May. The band was led for the two semesters bv the following officers: presidents, Donald Mattson, William Pappas, and Robert Wartinbee, vice- presidents, William Pappas and Dwain Ramlo, secretary-treasurer, Stanley Niebruegge, quartermasters, Robert Wartinbee and Robert Perry, and li- brarians, Robert Perry, Carolyn Woll- schlaeger, and Marigrace Sieber.

Musicianship at Central no longer seems to be at a minimum. lt is not the same few members that campaign and solicit to keep their club from dissolv- ing, nor do they have to bribe or trick unsuspecting recruits. Tryouts far ex- ceed the capacity, and the old policy of accepting every tryout has been replac- ed by a more conservative one. NOC- TURNE is significant in the extra-cur- ricular field. Comments on the forth- coming Nocturne Assembly in Novem- ber were rather skeptical. We're tir- ed of this long-haired stuff. How about some popular? Purposefully , Noc- turne promotes fine music, and the performers gave of their best. The pro- gram, seasoned with Mr. Root's corn and climaxed by a melodrama of the Hairbreath Harry type, proved to be inspirational and entertaining. A se- quel given in March was equally super- ior. Since a Nocturne requirement is willingness to perform, the members furnish most of the programs at the regular club meetings. Frequently, however, accomplished musicians were invited to entertain them. Over sixty appearances were made by Nocturne members during the year at schools, Kiwanis meetings, and various other organizations. The young enthusiasts were in constant demand. Sharing presidential honors were: Eugene Low and Beverly Saltz, vice-presidents, Marjorie Markgraf and Mildred Thompson, secretaries, Beverly Saltz and Paul Youngdale, and treasurers Helen Hellwig and Marjorie Markgraf. As his accomplnist, Eugene Clark, looks on, Jim Berg warms up on his magic fiddle. 3in?l p am! Qaeda! e Top Row: V, Kurtz, E. Zaborowski, D. Ramlo, C. Christiansen. J. Lung, Mr. Root. Fifth Row: O.

Last fall the music room was torn up to be com- pletely remodeled, but due to a delay in getting materials, it was not until after Christmas that the orchestra was able to practice in the still unfinished room. Being dispossessed by plasterers and carpenters was regarded as just a minor obstacle on the pathway to mu- sical achievement, and the orchestra promptly moved into the auditorium. ln the first major event of the year, the annual fall concert, the orchestra won the distinction of being the first to present to the public Poeme d 'Amour by Rudolph Kvelve. Then in January Mr. Mikelson returned from the war taking over the choir and or- chestra which Mr. Root had so capably Making the lunch hour pleasant dur- ing the last days before Christmas are the members of the String Quartet. allaficfaq fd-'L Slfflinqd, managed during Mike's absence. The climax of the year's work was Gil- bert and Sullivan's operetta, The Mi- kado, presented for the first time since the beginning of the war. Cen- tral's forty piece orchestra now has the largest string section it has ever had, l3 violins, 3 violas, 6 cellos, and 6 string basses. Mr. Mikelson attributes this growth to the efforts of Leigh El- der in promoting musical instruction in the grade schools. President of the or- chestra the second semester succeed- ing Eleanor Johnson, who graduated in January, is Clarence Christianson.

On January lst Mr. Mikelson returned, after two years in the Navy, to resume his choral work. While always appreciative of Mr, Root's excellent leadership, the choir has continued its fine work under Mike's guidance. The Musical Varieties, Feb- ruary l9th and 2Oth, were rehearsed to the tune of hammers and chisels. The contract- ors with their noise and confusion failed, however, to interfere with either the plans or the quality of the performance. A vocal technique class during the second semester trained soloists for the operetta. The Mi- kado, given May 2nd and 3rd, proved to be truly Gilbert and Sullivan. Bob Storey and Geraldine l-lunter led the cast. Guiding the group the first semester were: Richard Meyer, president, Dick Renner, librarian, Paul Youngdale, wardrobe, and Eleanor Johnson, secretary-treasurer.

At this time the necessary training and experience are gained through drills and practice, the correct method of breathing and the reading of music are explained and tried, and scales and intervals are dutifully worked on. All types of songs-spirituals, old favor- ites, hymns, folk songs, and modern mel- odies-are sung. Several male members of this organization showed comic talent in their quaint sketch of farm life in the Musical Variety show. The frisky horse was particularly sensational. Mr. Root followed the blueprints the first semester. The model was completed during the sec- ond semester by lVIr. Mikelson. Ton Row: Dean Peterson, W. Smith, N. Walters, S. Hanes- worth, E. Haas, B.

Schultz, Central High School is proud and happy to announce the forming of a new organization, the GIRLS' GLEE CLUB. lt's girls! Such a startling an- nouncement might have been heard last fall when the large overflow ot young Lily Ponses was cletoured from the usual paved road to an unexplored bypath, the Girls' Glee Club. These scintillating songsters cleared the un- derbrush successfully and some of them graduated to that venerable or- ganization, the choir. The sole require- ment ot a chorister is the desire to sing. Membership is largely from the sophomore class. This newly-formed feminine organization appeared at P. T. A. meetings, accompanied once by the stage band. As one branch of the music department, the chorus sang carols at the Christmas Assembly. As pussy-willow time approached, our heroines of harmony appeared in the gala music department assembly. At the meetings, which occur twice every week, emphasis has been placed on modern music- Such songs as Sum- mertime, The Man I Love, and Always were practiced. Officers for the tirst and second semesters respec- tively were president, Ardelle Tank, Evadeen Stevens, secretary, Carol Wes- terlund, Wendy Brink, librarian, Ar- lene Tank, Joan Burgchardt. The chor- us is under the direction of Mr. Root, who likes working with such purty girIs. Scale elifndeadi Top Row: I... Moore, L. Hahn, Mr. Anderson, M. Kiesling, .l. Blank, F. Overland.

To the beats of their drums and to the notes of their bugles Central's rhythmic maidens go on parade. The GIRLS DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS with its swishing black skirts and bright red sashes is a colorful spot in any procession. The thirty girls were kept in time under the sway of Mr. Anderson's baton until he left for Logan in January. Since then Mr. Root has taken over the directorship. The corps boosted its funds by selling cokes and cheerios at football games and mixers. Although the girls were not very busy the first semester, the second half year found them drilling and practicing for their annual spring appearance before the La Crosse pub- lic in the Memorial Day parade. The girls are excited over the fact that they may have new uniforms when the secretary's roll book shows a mem- bership of forty. No band is complete without proud strutters preceding it. To be in tune with the day and in step with the times, these marching misses have Gladys Iverson as their snappy majorette while Virginia Lord and Gloria Peterson are co-majorettes and Beverly Gilles, La Vonne Simenson, and Connie Fox are the skilled baton twirlers. Any girl at Central may join the organization if she is talented and enthusiastic. Officers for the year were president, Virginia Lord, vice- president, Beverly Gilles, secretary, Gloria Peterson, treasurer and bus- iness manager, Gladys lverson, and custodian, Della Jones. 200106661 '-l '7 Athletics S- 'gm .An-'S-9' 5 L LA CROSSE TRIBUNE PHOTO The bathing beach is typical of the recrea- tion facilities provided by La Crosse under its new program.

These letters are bestowed upon the gallant lads who have taken the punishment of a grinding season and have many gruelling hours on the gridiron, hardwood, track, or diamond to their credit. Not only must they make themselves indispensable on the squad, but the boys also maintain the required standards of scholarship, no small matter in view of the time re- quired in practice. The letters are us- ually presented at a special assembly by the coach or the manager and thereafter speak for themselves on the boys' red sweaters. Along with the let- ters these supermen gain admission in- to one of Central's most desirable or- ganizations, the LC Club. The principal activity ot the club, which strives for high standards of sportsmanship, pride, and honor, is participation in the Memorial Day activities honoring Cen- tral's war dead. The athletes march as a body in the Memorial Day parade to which they add color. The club also provides the ushers for the basketball games played in Hixon Gym.

Take three parts inexperience, two parts injuries, one part tough opposition, mix well, and you have a good formula for an unsuccessful football season. At least this was the case with Central in i945 when her gridders won but two of their seven games. Coach Walter Babe Weigent's Red and Black got off on the right foot by atomizing a visiting Decorah out- fit, i9 to O. This game was featured by the thrilling runs of Central's fleetfooted backs which kept the crowd on its feet. On the following weekend, however, misfortune traveled with the locals to Eau Claire. There an outplayed Abe aggregation managed to cross the double stripe, stop several Raider drives, and finish on the long end of a 6 to O count. Winona was to invade La Crosse as the Weigentmen's next opponent. How- ever, since the local polio epidemic was then raging, the Win- hawks canceled the contest thus giving Central a l to O forfeit victory. ln the first of the intra-city games which were sched- uled next, alert Aquinas capitalized on a Raider fumble to take an early lead. Continuing this pace throughout the scrap, the Blugolds emerged victorious, 26 to 6. Two weeks later another Central fumble set up an early minute Logan six Falk goes through the secondary The Raider defense brings down a foe pointer. Combined with a later Ranger touchdown and the in- ability ofthe Raiders to travel the last yards to pay dirt, this gave the North Siders a l3 to O victory. The gridironmen then hit the road to Iowa where they grappled with the Dubuque powerhouse, Although they displayed great spirit in the tussle, they were unable to do much against the rugged vik- ings who bulldozed their way to a 27 to 6 victory. The eleven went north to tackle Wausau, one of the top teams of the state, in the season's finale. The struggle took place on a frozen field which made footing difficult, however this little bothered the hosts as they ground out a 35 to O decision over Central.

The Raiders opened the season by losing to a powerful lvlin- neapolis North team in an overtime game. Central then played host to Eau Claire, but the guests won with an ad- vantage in height. The following week the red clad five was again overcome by the state champs of l944-45, Madison West, in the Teachers' College gym. ln the first intra-city game of the season the Raiders defeated Logan on the North Side court to chalk up their first victory. The next day the Dubuque Rams of Iowa took a 50 to 22 beating from Central. Central was then defeated by Wausau, the fourth ranking state prep team. Aquinas came from behind to edge out the Raiders by six points to take the second intra-city contest. Central went to Winona only to be beaten on the Minnesota team's hardwoods. On Jan- uary l2, basketball fans of La Crosse saw the upset of the year as the Red Raiders completely outplayed Stevens Point in a thriller and came out on the long end of a 34 to 30 verdict. ln this game Central's Buck Ness tied the court scoring record by dumping in 22 points. ln a two day trip to Superior, Buck again was in top form as he tallied Zl markers to aid the Raiders in defeat- ing Superior East.

The Raiders stayed on the road to visit the Old Abes ot Eau Claire and to receive a second beating by the northern quintet. Aquinas trounced Central in the second meeting of the two schools. Central upset Wis- consin Rapids but the following week was whipped by Tomah in the closing seconds ot a thrilling game. Central gained revenge over Winona, 59 to 28, after leading in a first period score 22 to O. Central downed the Dubuque Rams for the second time on the lowa team's court. On February l5th the Raiders cinched a second place position in intra- citycompetition by turning Logan away for the second time, Central garnered 655 points compared to 652 tor their opponents to come through with a 36 point average per game. Buck Ness, the city's highest scorer, made a total of 232 points for an average of l3 points per contest. He made 20 or more points in three different games and made the highest individual scoring mark in the city for this season when he tallied 22 markers. Ness was the only player from Central to make the all-city team while Bill Ott and John Townsend made the second team.

The boys came out on top in seven of their ten contests, annexing a halt share in the city crown.

The pool splashes with enjoyment. Hixon Field bounces with excitement. The locker room gurgles with gossip. These things take place either singly or all at once when the GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION gets together. This year's activities began in the tall with a party which was the initiation ceremony for new members. The only person who did not thoroughly enjoy herself at this party, besides those being initiated, was the treas- urer whose duty it was to collect the dues. Boasting the largest membership of any club in school, G. A. A. has approximately one- hundred twenty-tive names on its list. Soc- cer, under the direction ot Margaret Thompson, came through an active season. The tournament honors were taken by the Black Team. Logan, our friendly antagonist in the major sports, played host to us once. We, in turn, received the North Side team as guests on Hixon Field. Central won both of these games. Basketball is the favorite sport. Before the Ambers were proclaimed winners ot the annual tournament, the Lounge Lizards, the High Flyers, Miller's Killers, the Sloppy Six, Pluto's Pups, the Chickery Chicks, the Hubba Hubbas, Andy's Dandy's, the Slimy Slayers, the Gravel Ger- ties, the Speed Demons, and the Ricker Rackers were defeated.

Sieqzecf in palilioi r 5 Though handicapped by the polio ban, the S. T. C. presidential cam- paign proved to be as animated and exciting as ever. Instead of having the traditional assembly, campaign managers had to be content to sway public opinion through interesting eye-captivating posters, home room solicitations, and appealing party platforms. The four male candidates had stiff competition in Nancy Ross, the only girl brave enough to enter the lists. Nancy's followers paraded through the halls bearing huge plac- ards and stuffed teddybears, announc- ing Give Nance a Chance. Holler for Vaaler shouted at us from enor- mous colorful posters prepared by campaigners for Jack Vaaler. The ho- boes supporting Paul Youngdale an- nounced they were Plugging for Paul. Dressed in checked shirts and cold-season sportswear, Bill Winter's group assured everybody, Winter is here to stay. The swingband preced- ing Jim Berg from room to room ap- parently swung the majority vote in his direction. Top: Supported by fiery followers, Berg swings to the presidency.

C. members supervise. 7fze Gaim Wad Sfzaakecf Being free for the evening of the Hallowe'en party, Herbie, a ghost, drifted right past lvir. Hetherington and into the auditorium. Settled in a comfortable air-pocket, he was delight- ed by the talent show. A horror tale was related to some blind-folded audi- ence members who clutched the vic- tim's dismembered corpse. Next some pretty girls all dressed up staged a teen-age fashion show. A chap named Bill Joseph won the grand prize for out-heiling der Fuehrer himself. All set to see his favorite relatives play havoc on the screen, Herbie was a trifle disappointed by three reels of the Five Little Peppers. Of course, Herbie didn't eat, but he enjoyed watching others perform disappearing acts with all the hot-dogs. He was fascinated by the countless games- shuffle board, ping-pong, checkers, cards, and others. ln the gym, gaily skipping a solo schottish between the crowded couples, Herbie was very glad that he went to the school party, and not a-haunting. Top: Four senior girls satirizing Central femmes and their gobs to the obvious amusement of the stage band. Center: With a shriek Fran drops the victim's eyes while the others wait in nervous silence. Bottom left: Virginia and Evelyn in a strenuous game of ping pong. Bottom right: We trip the light fantastic past the prevailing spirit of Hallowe'en, the scare crow mired in corn stalks. O2 luadical Renaaalian There'll Be Some Changes Made could have been Mr. Root's theme song last fall as he herded orchestra and choir into the auditorium to make way for plasterers and carpenters. ln the old days space was at a pre- mium with students, instruments, and Mr. Root's desk crowded in- to one room. Now instruments, uniforms, and sheet music will be kept in new cabinets both upstairs and downstairs, Mr. Root and Mr. Mikelson are en- joying a questionable degree of privacy in their new pink-tinted office, and five new sound proof practice cubicles are already in constant use. Pink, yellow, and green, the general color scheme is reminiscent of spring. The ceilings and upper half of the main room, all sound proof, are white. Although planned for completion by November first, because of the shortage of mate- rials, the rooms were not avail- able until three months later. Then the classes found the floor, minus the tile, built up in tiers in a semi-circle around the direc- tor's podium. New fluorescent lights brightened the scene of confusion. By Labor Day, l946, however, the hundred new chairs should be in place, and the rooms should be completely ready. Top: A cross-section view of the room in the early stages of remodeling. Center: Sand, shovels, and shadows give evidence of the extensive reconstruction of the old music room. Bottom: ln the individual practice rooms students warm up for an audition with the maestro. .fell lance Lighthearted laughter, melo- dious music, and garrulous gaiety made the proms and mixers en- joyable events. Black lvlagic was the theme for the junior prom at which King Joel Rynning and Queen Sue Obermowe presided, As Gene l'Vlendez's orchestra played, dancers rotated around a black cauldron in the middle of the floor from which issued flames. Dick Bruring and Peggy Egstad ruled at the senior prom in January. For this Larry Zieman's orchestra played. Decorations carried out a Deep Sea Fantasy idea. A cornstalk bedecked gym was the scene of a crowded l-lal- lowe'en mixer. Juke box jiving was enjoyed by many a shoe-tap- ping Centralite at the various mixers held. At the Mothers' League coffee students swooned to the Sinatrical singing of Bob Wartinbee as they glided their way through a more than capacity crowded dance floor, At the spring Rugged Romp blue jeans, plaid shirts, and the like were proper apparel. Music during the year varied from the fast jazzy numbers to the slower sentiment- al songs when the floor was filled with dreamy-eyed couples. At several of the mixers waltzes fol- lowed by exhausting schottisches were great favorites. Top: Royalty for the Junior Prom, Joel Rynning and Sue Obermowe, lead the promenaders in the grand march.

Even the chorus of colorful British dragoons appears to have no charms to match his. However, when aesthetic Archibald Grov- enor, sung by Dick Meyer, ap- pears, he captivates Patience, sung by Audrey Jehlen. The rapturous maidens desert Bun- thorne for the dragoons, and he has to content himself with el- derly Lady Jane, sung by Colleen Golding. MAKING READY Art students before April l9, l945, the date of Patience, spent hours on the balcony in the gym laboring interestedly over two huge canvasses, one spread on the floor and the oth- er hanging on the wall. On lad- ders, on their knees, or standing side by side with can of paint and brush in hand they worked. The results were the beautiful woods and forbidding stone castle among which Bunthorne made his temporary conquests. TOMORROW TH E WORLD The regeneration of a twelve year old Nazi, Emil Bruckner, played by Dick Renner, is the problem of his American uncle, Ronald Gillmeister. Filled with hatred toward all that is not Nazi, the boy lies, deceives, and plots in every way to apply the doctrines of his belief. Deliber- ately he strikes down the daugh- ter of his tolerant uncle. Finally through kindness and affection he discovers his errors and he learns to respect and to believe in democratic principles and ideals. Such was the Masquer- Harlequin spring play in l945. .fimve .figfr-Z! JUST EMPTY SEATS During September and most ot October all who passed the au- ditorium looked longingly at its closed doors. Inside there was nothing but emptiness. Seats were assigned, but the ever wel- come ai'ir'iOur'iCer'i'ier'iT, Regular assembly today at the close ot the second period, tailed to come from the office. lt was all because of the polio ban. The Health Department had com manded and we obeyed. QU I ET, PLEASE Two brothers, Douglas Kraus and Charles Pearson, although living together in a oneeroom cabin, have such an extreme aversion for one another that they divide the room equally, each living on his side of the chalk line. Dorothy Krause, a damsel in distress, appears and reconciles the brothers, After her leaving, however, another ar- gument arises and again the feud is on. This was the assembly play by Masquer-Harlequins. MUSICAL VARIETIES OF 1946 The Florodora Sextette was only one ot the unusual num! bers of the musical extravagan- za presented by the band and choir on February l9th and 20th at the Vocational School. ln the first halt ot the two-part program the band played, among its six numbers, the amusing Down on the Farm in which Farmer McDonald, his hired man, and his frisky horse, all appear- ed. After the intermission the stage band with the help of the choir presented, among other selections, Southern Fried with ad lib solos, and The Way You Look Tonight. 5 O6 Eaadiea Zcfil'o1u'al - 1946 Editor Ruth Sorenson Associate Editor Richard Zoerb Senior Writers Joel Rynning lHeadl Margaret Scott Sue Obermowe Charles Loetfler Robert Wendt Barbara Emmert Faculty Writers Annette Lindgren iHeadl Ronald Wiedman Waltrout Schoenberger Virginia Busness Organizations and School Lite Jane Hale lHeacll Dona Hornstad Marian Niebuhr William Pappas Nancy Hanson Nancy Walters Girls' Sports Ruth Bires June Kennedy Boys' Sports Henry Michaels David Keller Artist Margo Gikling Mounters Ruth Huebner Cynthia Frick Proof Readers Carolyn Wollschlaeger lHeadl Elaine Amundson Yvonne Fry Dorothy Busness Lois Bakkurn Typists Joyce Nekola lHeadl Lois Spika Bernice Granke Margery Morton Photographers Stanley Niebruegge Douglas Kraus Frank l-lickisch The Booster Staff appreciates the cooperation of the following patrons who purchased l 946 Boosters: Adam Kroner Company Arenz Shoe Company Bailey G' Franz Insurance Barney's Shine Parlor E.
