To us, the students of Central High, this forty-year-old building is not just a' material four walls and roof, but rather it is a collection of practices and beliefs which belong to our school alone and which give it individuality. Traditions have a way of growing .upon a school as time progresses. Ideas started years ago and gradually taken for grant- ed become traditional. In the same manner practices relatively new may under the in- fluence of time become themselves established rituals. There enduring customs make up in large part the memories of the graduate. To him Central High School means among other things the beauty of the Memorial Day Services, the right to choose his course, honor study hall, one-way traffic on the stairs, assemblies on Wednesday, and finally the gift of a rose with his diploma. ,g,LT. -,Q CL4F'4-Q...

As our corridors and classrooms no longer see visiting Centralites in the uniform of the Navy, the Army, the Air Corps, or the Marines, we are no longer so acutely conscious of the service that these, our former stu- dents, gave. Foremost among them are those who gave their lives. In reverent tribute we once more give them individual recognition in these pages. There are those hundreds, both graduate and undergraduate, who left their known civilian world for one of combat, and who, returning, are attempting to adjust themselves to changed conditions. To them, in mass, we bow in recognition of service done. To those under- graduates, who, after entering the service, realized the value of a high school diploma and fulfilled the requirements nec- essary to procure it, we devote a portion of this yearbook. Also, in grateful apreciation we dedicate this, our i947 Booster 7a 1411 Saad I 1 dv - Page 6 'ling Maur Robert Carl Abegglen, 2nd Lieutenant, Army Air Corps, La Charles, Louisiana. Arnold J.

Seniors gather in Home Room 2l 5 in their second semester. i2 A's are the only class to select one set of officers for the entire class. The gavel is presented by Mr. Scott to the newly elected president dur- ing a home room period. lt is returned to Mr. Scott at the senior-faculty party. Commencement events begin with baccalaureate services on the last Sunday of each semester. The senior-faculty party is held on the Monday preceding commence- ment. On Wednesday, senior day, the seniors appear in any outlandish garb. On Thursday seniors, gathering for the last time, receive their diplomas. With his diploma each graduate receives a red rose, a gift from the Beard of Education. Tabulations show that the highlight of our activities is sports, G.A.A. boasting fifty- eight senior members and boys' sports, -fifty-five. High Trib and Y-Teens rate a close second and third. Page 50 Top: The camera catches three busy painters high on a scaffolding as they apply a coat of dusty pink to the auditorium walls. Center: Floor boards are stacked an! ready to be laid on the floor of ar uncomfortable looking balcony, voif af seats. Bottom: Judging from the variety-of paint cans, the painters contemplate the exact shade with which to cover the stage walls. A brand new coat of paint, acoustic tiling, and raising of the seats have transformed our auditorium into something of which we can be proud. A great number of improvements have been made since l907 when the auditorium was just a huge room with an empty stage and with seats on the first floor only. lt was not all done at one time nor was it done by one particular group. The Masquers were responsible for the purchase of the first stage furniture and the first curtain. When the old La Crosse Theater was torn down in l926, the Board of Educa- tion purchased the seats which we still have. Energetic stu- dents gave programs and spon- sored a movie in order to earn money for additional stage equipment. The pianos, that have served in turn, were ob- tained by the students except for the present beautiful Stein- way which was presented by the Board of Education last April. ln spite of other changes, the time for regular assemblies has remained the same. They are held on Wed- nesday after the second period with upperclassmen attending the first assembly and lower classmen the second. 4011. Edin Jfeaainq anal Seeing Page Sl Q., ,Y Q .

When we have reference work to do, we go to the library during one of our regular study hall periods. Poge 60 '7ca6le4 7wmeJ For the fifth time in as many years, parents of Centralites be- came students, crowding corridors and classrooms with programs in their hands. On November l4th at 7:30, the auditorium seated our parents near to capacity as they attended a lVlother's League meet- ing before passing to class. The short home room session which followed allowed each parent time to receive the program out- lining the course of his own chiId's six-period day. As the bell rang, parents journeyed up and down steps and through the halls glancing at the room numbers trying to find where they belong- ed each period. Members of the S. T. C. assisted in the halls whenever parents were bewilder- ed looking for a certain room. The ten minute classes made up an hour long schedule. Following the sixth period, parents discuss- ed their experiences as they wandered toward the cafeteria where they refreshed themselves with coffee and cake and enjoyed a friendly visit with the teachers. Open house began five years ago at the suggestion of Mrs. Sigurd Gundersen, then president of the lvlother's League. Top: The parents, unlike their offsprina, begin the school day with an assembly in the auditorium. Second: Now mothers and fathers hear all about Junior's classroom activities from the teachers. Third: Though footsore and weary, the parents take heart and smile, far this is the sixth period. Bottom: After the bell rings and school is out, coffee and doughnuts are served in the cafeteria.

The phrase, A channel through which the student body speaks, ex- presses the part the STU DENT-TEACH ER COUNCIL plays. Since its beginning in i923 it has striven to fulfill this Obliga- tion. In past years, the S.T.C. has spon- sored such benefits as senior privileges and honor study hall. Officers this year were Dick Renner, president, Bill Fregin, vice-president, Betty Wisland, secretary, June Kennedy, corresponding secretary, and Robert Linse, treasurer. Under their leadership the members sponsored move- ments to improve assemblies and dances. Rupanudle fee Zalfiaed. The unheralded social committee completes preparations for one of the year's very successful dances. Prominent in these activities have been the Social and Assembly Committees which are directly responsible to the S.T.C. who appoints them. On Saturday, April l9th, our S.T.C. was host at a meeting of the various student-teacher councils in this section of the state and nearby Iowa and Minnesota. To this meeting came representatives from a radius of one hundred miles. Lead by speakers from the different schools, dis- cussions centered around the topics of organization, functioning, and financing of student government.

Years ago strange facts such as this were printed in our year- book. Between 1907 and 1911 no Boosters were published, and in these two years the annuals appeared in pamphlet form. The more durable book form has been published since 1912. Lit- erary work coupled with the pic- tures of the faculty and graduates made up the older Boosters. The first themes, all dealing with na- ture, were introduced in the l92O's, making for more compact editions. Underclassmen appear- ed, and in the 1930's literary, calendar, and joke pages were inserted into the school life sec- tion. Guided by Miss Thiel and editors, Richard Zoerb and Ken Lampert, the 1947 BOOSTER STAFF has had the task of up- holding the traditions of forty years of Booster publication. Top Row: D. Raunlu. R.

Yet, the group that secures this prime requisite is seldom heard of. Ad- vised by Mr. Fregin, THE BOOS- TER BUSINESS STAFF, usually all girls, secures support from various businessmen, to whom a record sale of HO annuals was made this year. As is the school's policy no straight advertising is solicited, but the name of a buy- er of the Booster is printed as recognition. A total of 890 Boosters was sold to Central High students making a total sale of l,OOO copies of our I947 yearbook.

First conceived in i939-l94O by a small group of students who realized the value of an interest in current events, it en- couraged the expression of opinion. Meetings which were first held on the second Thursday of each month, with Miss Cott as advisor, were changed to every other Wednesday under the direc- tion of Mr. Kinney. Topics for discussion this year included compulsory military training, an all-city recreation center, and 14 af 14 Should the United States Adopt So- cialized Medicine? Forum members dig out some debatable points for their monthly intra-city Forum dis- cusdonm Page 68 U. S. relations with Russia. Ever since the monthly meetings with Logan and Aquinas began, they have been both en- tertaining and educational to the partic- ipants and the audience. At these intra- city meetings this year they discussed the cut in taxes and socialized medicine. The officers for the first semester were: Joe Michalke, president, Mark Sutton, Jr., vice president, Beverly Hollett, sec- retary, Nancy Hanson, treasurer. Suc- ceeding them in the second semester were: Nancy Walters, Bill Smith, Mar- garet Dunn, and Eileen Soma. Top Row: Janet Erickson, Nancy Hanson, B. A. Larson, R. Wartinbec, E. Brnhnke.

Soma, Sybil Thompson, W. Pappas. Enthusiasm for public speaking has always run high at Central. At one time there were three organizations promot- ing speech work, the Lincoln-Douglas Debate Society, the Wendell Phillips De- bate Society, and the Public Speaking Society. The year i929 saw the merger of these into the Glenn Frank Speech Club. In I937 the death of Mr. Harry Falconer, the club's advisor since its in- ception, prompted the members to change its name to FALCONER in honor of their beloved friend. Now with Miss Bach as its advisor, Falconer carries on, providing a student with practice in the organization and delivery of a speech. At each meeting members try their skill in talking or in reading, but at the party given in the first semester, speeches were out of order, as members filled their mouths with ice cream and pop, instead of words and phrases. Presiding over the meetings were Nancy Hanson and her successor, Beverly Hollett. Other offi- cers were, vice presidents, Marita Tor- gerson and Bob Storey, secretaries, Janet Erickson and Betty Weber, and treasur- ers, Dwaine Ramlo and Bob Linse. Emulwa Zfacuifiamliii President Bev Hallett entertains the Falconers with her interpretation of Stephen Leacock's An Interview with the World's Greatest Actor. Page 69 Page 70 Editor Dick Renner reads over the latest editorial while his capable as- sistant editors type stories, prepare the paste-up, and write copy. imdfe fvwwawtda Ever since l925, Hl TRIB members have responded immediately to the post- er in the halls reading, Hi Trib assign- ments out today! To begin with, a jour- nalism class published a paper for them- selves with one sheet of news. Because it was so widely read throughout the student body, the activity developed into a column in the local paper under the title, La Crosse Hi Tribune. Following praise and comments on this column, members of the journalism class began a news sheet published weekly for the entire school. In i925 the Hi Trib was transformed into the bi-monthly four page paper we know today. Dick Renner took over Shirley Granke's editorial du- ties in mid-semester. This position calls for composing the lay-out, making out assignments, and trying-out new mem- bers. Just as the editors change through- out the years, so has the paper. The feature page has undergone the greatest adjustment. Literary Lights, Alum- ni, and Screenings are only a few of the standby features that have disap- peared. The former joke section has gradually been converted into a gossip column. Top Row: D. Kraus, F. llickisch, D. Ramlo, R. Zocrb. Fourth Row: P. Grange. G. Nofike, W. Smith, M. Goldstein, D' Renner, R.

Extra copies ten cents is an announce- ment which Centralites look forward to. Without the efforts of the HI TRIB BUSINESS STAFF, whose often thankless iob it is to keep the bi-weekly sheet out of the red, those familiar words would not be heard. At the beginning of the year advertising managers Bob Storey and John Fantle loosed their pack of able assistants upon the businessmen of La Crosse. Their job was to secure the ad- vertising that pays for the publication of a better paper. The thirty advertisers Heads of the Hi-Trib Business Staff critically survey the fruits of their ef- forts. This issue seems to be the apple of Bob Storey? eye. puede-4 Paaieoiau who support the Hi Trib testify as to the success of the ad-seekers. Along with the financial worries, the problem of dis- tributing the fourteen issues each year falls to the staff. Papers must be bun- dled for each home room in the school. Copies are mailed to all advertisers and to former Centralites in the service. Then too, there are the typists, headed by Margery Morton and Elizabeth Web- er, who must interpret the scribblings of hurried reporters and transform the as- signments into something readable. Miss Anne Roche is the advisor. Top Row: D. Lane, W. Knutson, A. Smith. R. Wartinbce, J. Michalkc, J. Fantle. R. Storcv. Third Row: E. Weber, M. Martindale, M. Tietze. B. Emmert.

Central needed in some way to give recognition to the students of superior scholarship and of varied interests. Memberships in Circle Therefore in i924 a committee of three teachers and two students, headed by Miss Catherine Hayes, founded CIRCLE, an honor society, to give such recogni- tion. There is no higher award given to the Centralite than the certificate of membership presented to qualifying stu- dents at each commencement. Students first hearing of Circle resolve to study fervently and to devote time to the ex- tra-curricular activities in music, sports, dramatics, speech, or publications, for points are given to members engaged in activities such as these. ln addition a student must hold a B average and have an excellent attendance record. At- tending Central this year is the unusually large number of thirty-three students who received Circle membership before their graduation-six juniors, twenty- two seniors, and seven January grad- uates. At the annual spring initiation the solemn and meaningful ritual pre- pared by Miss Josten in 1924 was again used. Faculty advisors are Miss Hayes, Miss Taras, and Mr. Smith.

In the library the members searched shelves and drawers in a treasure hunt for the prize bag ot candy. Sojourning to Room lO2, the care-tree librarians soon made the sandwiches, cookies, and punch disappear. Barbara Larson replaced Paul Gatterdam as president, while vice-presi- dent Ruth Sivertson followed Richard Zoerb. Virginia Busness's secretarial notebook went to Richard Zoerb, and dues were collected by Janet Erickson, succeeding Marigrace Seiber. Page 73 Page 74 MASQUERS, Central's oldest organ- ization, upheld the club's traditions with grandeur. ln the fall veteran members dusted off seats in the nearly finished auditorium to munch food while passing judgment on the terrified femmes seek- ing admission. After the bi-weekly business meetings on Thursday unique programs were presented, a clever one being Pat O'Brien's puppet show. A one- act play, The Tangled Web, was pre- sented for an assembly in December in co-operation with the Harlequins. For the thirty-eighth annual production, Since tour heads are considered better than one, the feminine leads from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court study their scripts together. 500414 again jointly with the Harlequins, a hil- arious comedy, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, was enacted on April lOth. lviasquers was founded in l909, but Poke Gama arose, and com- petition began. However troubles ended when the two clubs combined into the Masquer Dramatic Society, now advised by Miss lvlurley. Office-holders were: presidents, Nancy Hanson, Beverly Hol- lett, vice-presidents, Janet Fladlien, Pat O'Brien, secretaries, Anne Van Zandt, Selma Lindenburg, treasurers, Shirley Stukins, Joan Burgchardt, historian, Linnea Anderson.

' Cold and critical expressions cover the faces ol' Harlequin members as they pass judgment on the acting ability of hopeful young try-outs. Sfmzlecl S ' eu A good dramatic society is a valuable asset to any school. Founded in l93O, by the union of the Falstaff and Philo- mathian Dramatic Societies the HARLE- QUINS have worked hard to develop the dramatic ability of their members. After the meetings, held every two weeks, a program is given which helps the mem- bers become proficient in play produc- tion. ln conjunction with this, the mem- bers also learn much about the applica- tion of make-up. With the help of their advisor, Miss Stillman, the Harlequins joined with their female associates, the Masquers, to present two plays during the year. They were The Tangled Web, presented in assembly and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court given for the public. Cameron Gundersen and Charles Morgan had roles in both productions, while Maynard Gold- stein, Dick Renner, Dave Gray, and Dewey Ramlo played in the latter. The officers for the year were presidents, Bob War- tinbee and Paul Gatterdam, vice-Dresi- dents, Ronald Wiedman and Rich Zoerb, secretaries, Dick Renner and Dewey Ramlo, while Don Rochelt and Dave Gray served as treasurers.

This name, selected from hun- dreds ot others which were sent in to the National Headquarters, suggests the re- lationship of the organization with the Y.W.C.A. and also the tact that the members are teen-agers. The Y-Teens ot Central are more active than any other club in school. They make all their plans at regular meetings every other Wed- nesday in 2l2 or at social meetings at the Y.W.C,A. With pajamas and tooth- Poge 76 brushes the girls attended a slumber party at the Y which was followed by a pancake fry in the morning. A tea was given by all Y-Teens of the city in honor of Miss Ann Harmacek, former Y Secre- tary. One of the outstanding projects ot the year was raising money toward the Round the World Y.W.C.A. Recon- struction Fund Campaign. Much to the delight ot the ever-ravenous students the girls held a candy sale in school so that they might earn money for the proj- ect. They also acted as baby sitters for .Zqncun-ic 9 In the cafeteria, traditionally decor- ated by the Y-Teens, the sparkling tree adds to the Yuletide spirit re- flected in the lunchers' faces.

Y-Teens of Central decided to give their contribution to the building of quonset huts for Y.W.C.A.'s in Manila and other bombed-out cities. Occupants of the Old Folks Home and Grandview Hospital were entertained at Christmas by the carols of the Y-Teens.

Whatever your fancy, you can find your type of music in the repertoire of the versatile NOCTURNE CLUB members. This very talent is called upon for enter- tainment at the Mother's League and other organization meetings. Nocturne assemblies have become an event which the whole school looks forward to every year. This year's edition was no excep- tion, for there were unusually good mu- sic and a skit full of the humor which lueficulaud Mau' Nocturne musicians pose after their annual assembly where they display- ed fheir versatihty in entertaining humorously as well as seriously. Page 78 only the Nocturne Club can produce. During the Christmas season, the club enthusiastically took up a new activity, caroling. The grateful and sometimes tearful thank you's showed that their ef- forts were appreciated, and everyone agreed that the new custom should be continued. There was no lack of enter- tainment at the meetings, furnished mostly by the member artists, with an occasional appearance by well known Io- cal musicians. Officers for the year were John Fantle, president, Bob Storey, vice president, Eugene Clark, secretary, Bob Wendt, treasurer. 'IgopkRow: J. Townsend, J. Scheel, E. Retzlalf, R. Wartinbee.

They themselves choose the student executive and roll taker for each period and are responsible for observing the rules. As is character- istic in a democracy, along with certain privileges, the student must accept some restrictions. If he fails to comply he is transferred to teacher superviseli 2l5 study hall. Likewise, high grades are a must if the doors of 2l2 are to be open to him. The elected executives meet regularly with Mr. Kinney, their advisor, to iron out problems arising in the study hall. This unusual arrange- ment whereby students control 2l2 was inaugurated in l926 when no new teach- er was available for the study hall. At first the experiment was tried only one period a day, but the plan proved such a success that in l93O it was extended to all six periods. Playing a great part in the organization of student government was the late Miss H. Margaret Josten, advisor of the 2l2 executives from the organization of the honor system until her retirement in l944.

Sep- arate classes take charge of the bi- monthly Thursday night meetings, pre- senting either a play, a story, or some other form of literature related to Span- ish customs or language.

Finally, with student backing, Miss Brody took over the super- vision of the group. Plans progressed through the winter months for the larg- est party of the year, a picnic held at Myrick Park in the form of a colorful Spanish festival. Even Spanish foods were tried. Elections for their first year of operation include the using of the gavel by Lois Bakkum, with Beverly Hol- lett as her understudy.

Since the end of the war, CentraI's JUNIOR RED CROSS organization has slowed the feverish tempo which it sus- tained through the tense years of con- flict. However, the group still carries on the duties of knitting afghans, packing overseas boxes for the poverty-stricken people of Europe and Asia, and collect- ing home room contributions. Another usual source of financial aid has been the sponsoring of the student-faculty bas- ketball game, but for the first time since this popular contest's inception in l943, the game was not held this year, ln rqddticfuaud ,qllwula During cn after-school Red Crass meeting, skeins of yarn are passed out to capable knitters who will ra- turn it, converted into afghan squares. i932 Miss Johnson's home economics classes began preparing canned goods for the Red Cross. This activity was continued by Miss Cook until l937, when Miss Cott formed a Junior Red Cross Council. Since then, first aid, home nursing, and many other projects have been taken up, and the Junior Red Cross Council has become a regular Red Cross Organization, The Red Cross Com- mittee now consists of an elected repre- sentative from each home room. The competent leader of all the ambitious undertakings is Miss Catherine Hayes, P age 8l Cenrrahteg keyed to the peak of en- thusiasm by the Pep Club's assem- blies, give verbal support to the team as Central vanquishes Aquinas. Mmale lwalcfead An ample number of peppy cheers, a hearty response from the students, and a dash of acrobatics make a perfect recipe for a high-spirited, enthusiastic cheering section. This formula has al- ways been the stand-by of the PEP CLUB. At the regular meeting in l56, every other Tuesday, members discuss plans for new cheers and assemblies to boost the morale of the students for a game. This year under the direction of Mr. Baker, their capable advisor, the Pepsters presented three assemblies in which they all participated. ln the first one, with helmets and shoulder pads, the girls portrayed members of our football team in action. They also gave their concep- tion of a basketball game in which the antics of the announcer brought forth a good many laughs. The history of cheer- leading was humorously presented with old-fashioned costumes and cheers. New cheers and responses were introduced in other pep assemblies which were held be- fore an important game. The officers of the club for the entire year were: Shirley Schultz, president, and Janice Gantka, secretary-treasurer. Top Row: .l. Wi-lm-nln-rg. R. Wt-lcli, B. A. Lzirsun, D. llzilin. C. Olson, P.

Page 82 Shades of Curie, Fabre, and Ohm would be delighted at the sight of Cen- tral's hard working SCIENCE CLUB. The term science covers so much territory that young devotees can not hope to learn every phase of it, but Central stu- dents probe into many mysteries. Instead of making the customary field trips, Science Club members this year were both instructed and entertained by teachers and students. Mr. Hough ex- plained the theory of electricity, and Mr. Scherich, the advisor, showed amus- ing chemical tricks. Richard Zoerb Three members of the Science Club enlighten their fellow comrades on the mysteries of chemistry and elec- tricity with some shocking results. eyyuiwz gindfeind and Ronald Wiedman demonstrated the working of the static machine, and oth- er members worked out more chemical problems. Science Club has been in ex- istence off and on since l9l6. The Chemistry Club, forerunner of the pres- ent organization, was founded in I934 when the membership was limited to twenty students chosen by science in- structors for convenience on field trips.

Guided by Mr. Hough, these operators run the school's projec- tion machines for teachers and student groups, a duty previously performed by the stage crew. A relatively large roster of members is necessary so that at least one operator is free each period thus en- abling teachers to plan motion pictures for any class with the comforting know-- ledge that a trained and efficient hand will be showing the films. With two Page 84 mllvxll, r. LIN . .. .NL . , .Minus I. movie projectors and one slide ma- chine, films are shown in the audi- torium and in Room 20, The cinemas cover the widely diverse realms of science, civics, English, and athletics. The realization of the importance of visual-education has given impetus to Central's movie program. Now, future scientists see mechanical and physical principles explained, civics students can more readily analyze the systems of gov- ernment, English pupils witness screen accounts of classics, and those interest- ed in sports can study the techniques of famous athletes.

Originally, several boys were just called upon to do any odd jobs about Central. Soon the group became organ- ized, limited its membership first to eight and later to ten boys, and secured regular advisors. Since l93O the advis- ership has changed hands five times, the last being in i942 when D. R. Wartinbee took over. In the middle of the '3Os, a constitution was adopted, making it a formal organization. Helping Mr, War- tinbee this year were student co-manag- ers, Cliff Check and Bill Cichowski.

This is iust one of the clever ditties that the PEP BAND adapted for use at the games. They also hold the questionable honor of being one of the first groups to pop- ularize Open the Door, Richard! One of the newer organizations at Central, being only a few years old, the Pep Band does just what its name implies. lt helps work up pep and enthusiasm for our games. During the gala pep assemblies in the gym these maestros of the march added a great deal to the general Let's win atmosphere. Under their able di- rector, Mr. William Baker, the Pep Band practiced several times a week during the peak of the season. After a prospec- tive member has played in the regular band, and has shown outstanding ability, he is given the opportunity to join. The players pride themselves, and rightly so, on their harmonization of the more dif- ficult band pieces. Top Row: R. Wendt. R. Pcrrv. D. Rumlu, D. Amunclson. Second Row: J. Tliill. N. Jenson, J.

Page 86 Though one of Central's newest or- ganizations, the STAGE BAND is one of the most popular. Started by Mr. Root in l944, it is directed this year by Mr. William Baker. The band practiced on Tuesdays and Thursdays for its monthly engagements at the Swing Shanty, Cen- tral's gym, where dances are sponsored by the City Recreation Department, ev- ery Saturday night. Because of the suc- cess of these dances the school board bought a new set of trap drums which, as a permanent part of the music depart- ment, will be used by future drummers. The sax section gives out with a sweet passage at the annual Mother's Club CoHee Dance. BNI Pappas seems to be interested in the birdie. Syl! C07.26zil'Z? Swmqaleu The band participated in the Varieties of l947, playing such favorites as The Old Lamplighter, Oh, But I Do, and 72O in the Books. Bill Pappas played a trumpet solo in Star Dust and the sax section was featured in Opus in Pastels. On March Zlst the band play- ed forthe dance connected with the Mothers' League Coffee. The band took part in the Halloween stage show and traveled to Lincoln Junior High to pre- sent an assembly. The highlight of the season, however, was the trip to Soarta where the group furnished the music for a dance. Top Royv: J. Tlwill. J. Vim Tassel, R. Wzutinbcm-. D. Rzunlo. V. lxurtz, W. Pappas.

It proved a very successful ending to a top-notch conf cert, highlighted by solos from both vo- cal groups. With five well played num- bers, the orchestra completed the prof gram. So a reviewer might well have writtcn of the fall concert presented by Central's music department under the direction of Alvin lvlikelson. To the rev porter of years ago, this write-up would have been a mere day dream, for the clinnb to the present has been a long and difficult one. The handful of players Page 88 who organized the first orchestra in l9l 5 was certainly a contrast to the group of today. ln those days, musically inclined teachers often played with the orchestra so as to support various sections, ln IQ43, the situation had come to the point where the number of ardent mue sicians outnumbered the instruments, which themselves were in urgent need of repair. The Board of Education saved the day by allotting a generous sum of money for instruments, music, and the like. In the last four years, progress has come by leaps and bounds until the orchestra has become the well-balanced fifty piece unit of today. Defer, defer, to the Lord High Executionere--.

'7aaaLaf!aua4 operettas have become almost an annual event of Central's choir. This year, how- ever, something new and different was tried, a rnusical festival. Any member that wanted to, could pick a :solo and try out before the group. From these, twen- ty were chosen to sing for various well- known music men from other parts of the state. The singers did not compete, but were criticized helpfully, to improve their techniques and abilities. ln the second part of the festival, Central's choir and the other two high school choirs of La Crosse joined forces to give a public concert. There was a busy schedule earlier in the year too. The music room sounded like a corner of old Spain, when the choir rehearsed its con- certized version of Carmen, This adaptation of the well-known opera by the French composer, Bizet, was sung at the Western Wisconsin Teachers' Con- vention, several junior high schools and a school assembly, The mixed chorus has led a rather varied existence this year. First semester it faced the world as a mixed chorus and in this composition performed in the concert. ln the second semester, the singing enthusiasts grew to such numbers that lvlr. lvlikelson, their director, thought it advisable to divide them. Thus, as girls' and boys' choruses, they carried on separately, and it is said by some with resulting efficien- cy. The chorusters practiced their scales, correct breathing, and sight reading. These two factions got together, how- ever, in the month of lVlay and present- ed a very creditable concert. Poge 89 ip ks X i x K. X -N.

Mauna ruary l2th the annual Musical Vari- eties. Included in the program were such favorites as Marche Slave, Tea tor Two, and The Stars and Stripes Forever featuring Don Lyden, bass vir- tuoso, a recent graduate of Central, The second halt ot the program consisted of several solos by members ot the band, after which the swing band played many of the latest pops, After the concert, the band began practice on many new numbers in preparation for a spring pro- gram. At the conclusion ot activities by the music: department, memlbers reward themselves with the annual picnic in May, There are always huge quantities ot food and pop.

Hampered by misfortune during the early part of the season, the Raiders fin- ished their i946 grid campaign with three wins, three losses, and two ties. The Red-Blacks commenced operations September 23, marching upon Decorah where they tied the Vikings 7 to 7. After they had pushed across a first half touch- down, the invaders lost their lead in the third quarter when the Vikings capital- ized on a Central fumble to strike pay dirt. The Raiders fought back, but time ran out with the ball on the Decorah two yard line. Tackling Aquinas next, the Centralites had an early marker nullified by a bad break. The teams then battled on even terms until a pass play carried the Blu-golds 50 yards to a touchdown in the last l5 seconds of the first half. Neither club was able to score during the bitterly contested second half, and the Raiders left the field with a heartbreak- ing 6 to O defeat. A week later the grid- ders invaded Winona and broke into the win column with an easy l9 to O victory as they drove the Hawks from their aerie with a powerful attack. They next suffer- ed a disappointing 6 to O loss at the hands of the outplayed Eau Claire Abes who ral- lied to punch out a last quarter touch- down after they had halted several Cen- tral drives. Rebounding from the defeat, the Raiders took a convincing 25 to 7 triumph over previously unbeaten Wis- consin Rapids which was then rated as the state's best team. Although every- one played brilliantly, the star of the upset was Willard Tanke who scooted through the big Rapids line for three touchdowns. Braced by this victory, the Red-Blacks were at their peak the follow- ing week when they met Logan in what has traditionally been the year's biggest battle. They started fast, were never headed, and atomized the Rangers 31 to O as end John Smevog caught three touchdown passes.

The Raiders next played host to the powerful Dubuque Rams whom they battled to a 6 to 6 deadlock, A first quar- ter drive carried the Centralites to the Ram two yard line, but they lost their fire and with it possession ofthe ball. Two plays and 98 yards later, the visitors cross- ed the double stripe for the game's first score, The Raiders retaliated with a six pointer in the third period, but the try for extra point was blocked, and the tie remained unbroken. The gridironmen closed their season on November 8, fall- ing l3 to O before the mighty Wausau Lumberjacks.

For the first time since l938, the La Crosse Tribune did not publish its all- city selections. The Wisconsin High School Coaches Association, however, gave tackle Bob Wartinbee a place on its all-state team. ln addition, mention on the Associated Press all-state crew went to Wartinbee and halfback Willard Tanke who was voted the most valuable Centralite.

The Raiders then took a clean sweep by subduing a hard fighting Logan outfit thirty-four to thirty-three. The eventual number one team in the state, Stevens Point, gave Central its first de- feat, forty-seven to thirty-three. Twen- ty-four hours later the Red and Black bounced back into the win column by defeating Wausau thirty-four to thirty- two in a very close battle. Central lost its second contest to Superior Central in the last seconds when a basket gave the visitors a forty-six to forty-four advant- age. When the semester ended, Central had won nine games, lost two, and was rated third in the state. Greatly handi- capped by the mid-year graduation of the three stars, Bendel, Townsend, and Scheel, the quintet traveled to Minne- apolis to play Marshal High in a prelim- inary game to the Northwestern-Minne- sota game. At the half the score was tied up, but the home team went ahead to win fifty to thirty-nine when Wartinbee and Smevog went out of the game on fouls. The following week the team came back to beat Aquinas and to clinch the city championship. Superior East's zone defense was the deciding factor when they won twenty-nine to twenty- three. Central then outscored Winona, Logan, and Wisconsin Rapids. The sea- son's finale was lost to Tomah, thirty- six to thirty-one, to give the team a thirteen-five record. For the first time in seventeen years Central entered post- season play in the state tournament. Central won its first two games in the regional tournament frorn Sparta, thirty- seven to thirty-one, and from Mauston, thirty-five to twenty-four. ln the finals Central employed a zone defense, but to no avail as Tomah won forty-eight to forty-three. Tomah went on to capture the sectional tournament, later repre- senting this area in the state meet. ln twenty-one games, eight hundred eleven points were scored by Central for a 38.62 average per game. The opponents scor- ed seven hundred twenty-four points for 34.48 points per game. The quintet won seven out of nine home games and eight out of twelve as visitors. Players pre- sented with letters were: Bob Wartinbee, Limey Townsend, Jerry Bendel, Jim Scheel, Dick Bednar, Bob Falk, Don Ro- chelt, Mark Sutton, Jr., Jim Petry, Jim Lyden, John Smevog, Don Minard, and Manager Dave Gray.

The cindermen opened their campaign by taking sixth in the Wisconsin Rapids Invitational on April Sth. Two weeks later they came in fifteenth among a large field in the Madison West Relays. The Raiders next invaded Eau Claire for a dual, but were repulsed 67 to 47. On May 4th they played host to a pentagonal in which they grabbed third. Coach Hanson then took his charges to the sectional at Wisconsin Rapids. After copping third in this contest, the boys went to the state meet at Madison and finished fourteenth among class A teams. LCs were given to Captain Art Fregin, Jack Bemis, Stanley Miller, Cliff Check, Bill Pappas, Claude Hagen, Ken Schmidt, Milt Wisland, Gordie Schulenberg, Manager Bill Cichowski, Joe Tillman, and Bob Schlicht.

Winters and Scheel had five-two and four-two records respectively. The team scored thirty-six points to twelve for the opponents. Coach Wheelock's quintet beat Logan twice, tour- three, and conquered Aquinas to defend the city title successfully. Scheel, Growt, Winters, Weigent, and Berg earned their letters. John Growt aces his opponent Coach Harold Wheelock's I946 golf team completed its tough, seven match schedule with five victories and possession of the city championship. After they suc- cumbed to Eau Claire, I2 to 3 in the sea- son's opener, the strokers routed Wiscon- sin Rapids, I4 to l, humbled Aquinas, 7Vz to 4V2, and edged Winona, 6V2 to '5V2. This winning streak was snapped, 9V2 to SV2 by the revenge seeking Rapids Crew, but the Raiders bounced back from the de- feat to down Winona, lOV2 to 4V2, and closed their campaign by smashing Aquinas, lOV2 to l V2.

A, teams participated in more than one sport. The Lounge Lizards and the Speedsters were equally ambitious in basketball, softball, soc- cer, and volleyball. The Lounge Lizards walked away with the championship title in soccer after a rough game with the Ambers. The Speedsters took the honors in basketball, play- ing in the finals with the Lounge Lizards. Jean Dixon was the head of soccer, and Ber- nadine Voshart was the skillful manager ot basketball. Games were scheduled for every Wednesday after school.

Shirley Granke also won in ping pong singles, but Mary Grace Sie- ber and Lois Wagner shone in the doubles. Gladys Iverson was the head of badminton and Linnea Anderson managed ping pong for the club. Those who wanted to take a cool, re- freshing dip in our pool some Wednesday af- ter school, needed only to let Miriam Mac- Lachlan know, and she made all the necessary arrangements. Volleyball, another major sport, frequently results in red rough hands and generally disheveled apearance. Under the leadership of Verna Schmidt, however, it lost none of its popularity.

No one anticipated rain, for since its initiation twenty-three years ago rain has only once prevented the traditional ceremony. As a student always speaks, Louise Richeson inter- preted the meaning of Memorial Day. The mixed chorus sang reverent hymns. Beverley Saltz, escorted by the L. C. Club and following the flag and color guard, placed the customary wreath beside the World War I mark- er, a tribute to the war dead. All joined in the Pledge of Allegiance, and James Stellick sounded Taps, a solemn ending to the ceremony.

She went to the health room where Miss Catherine Hayes, supervisor ot health at Central, diagnosed her case. She was excused to go home. Back at school after a week, she was thoroughly checked over by a nurse before being admitted. When Susie came to Central as a soph- omore, she was given a com- plete physical examination by expert doctors and dentists. A little later, the audiometer and eye tests were administered by Miss Harriet Hayes. Every fall Susie and all other Central- ites take the screening test to prevent the spread of contag- ious diseases. When Susie was a junior, she took First Aid as a feature of her gym class, and Home Nursing as a senior. When Susie's mother went to Central, this type of program was unknown, tor at that time little attention was given to health, and the responsibility for the student's care was as- Top: A screening test prevents spread of disease, says the nurse.

Bottom: After an examination, Mrs. Hendrickson writes out a health per- mit for returned absentee, Stanley Urbonek. a:za,... signed to no one. Finally with World War ll due respect was paid to health. After the alarming percentage of 4- F's, our gym program was in- tensified and strengthened and physical fitness became the byword. The timely subjects of First Aid and Home Nurs- ing were added to the curric- ulum. Students in swimming classes were encouraged to earn the Red Cross Life Saving badge. This year a registered nurse has been secured to ex- amine returninq students ev- ery morning. The great event of the past year, however, was the completion of the health room. Here is l IO, a cheerful- ly colored room, devoted to health alone and with many facilities for first aid. As time goes on, more extensive addi- tions will be made. This is the climax of a long period of ef- fort to bring the school to its rightful place in each student's health program.

Page IIS The Goose Hangs High Confronted by the problem of their father's losing his job, Dick Renner, Paul Gatterdam, and Sue Obermowe, as the thoughtless lngals children, prove themselves worthy of the parental sacrifices involved in sending them to col- lege. Aided by Pauline Grange as Granny, they find a way for Bill Wagner as Father to own the greenhouse he has always want- ed. This was the lvlasquer-Har- lequin spring play in l946. The Mikado Bob Storey as Nanki-Poo, the son of the Mikado, enamored of the maiden Yum-Yum, sung by Gerry Hunter, cannot marry her, since Bob Wartinbee as Ko-Ko her guardian wants to marry her himself. Then too, Sally Markos as the elderly Lady Katisha is pursuing Nanki-Poo, bent on matrimony. However, this oper- etta presented at the Vocational School ended happily for all ex- cept Ko-Ko, the new husband of old Katisha. The Tangled Web The aging and absent-minded Professor Doolittle, played by Cameron Gundersen, is shocked to find he is harboring in his apartment a jewel thief, Kate Reagan, played by Anne Van Zandt. However, after hearing Kate's tearful story, Doolittle agrees to shelter her telling the inquiring sleuth, Fogarty, played by Charles Morgan, that she is his sister. Masquers and Harle- quins joined in producing this assembly play. Page ll6 Zaenid, Ma Me Upeaa Glam Pep Assembly What's the matter with the team? asked the cheerleaders. They're all right, the fans ans- wered. This was no glorified quiz show, but another pep assembly in which Centralites verbally pledged their support of the Red and Black. Held in the gym while the auditorium was in the proc- ess of renovation, several of these morale boosting assemblies were given by the Pep Club before gridiron and cage contests. A Christmas Carol lt takes three spirits and a ghost to convince old Ebenezer Scrooge, played by Joe Michalke, that Christmas is not a humbug. Realizing that his might be the same unhappy fate as that ot his former partner Marley, whose chain-clanking ghost was played by Dick Renner, Scrooge vows to keep the spirit of Christmas in his heart always. Miss Bach di- rected this tarniliar play by Dickens. Nocturne Revue Whom did Esmirelda choose? She picked the villain, casting the lovesick hero aside. This skit was part of the assembly given by Nocturne in March. Spiced with variety, the program included in- strumental and vocal selections, popular and classical. Four dole- tul damsels bemoaned their lack of oomph appeal, and a like num- ber of blossom-bedecked Hon- olulu Honeys entertained with an exuberant song and dance. Pooe ll7 '7!re Rennwn fiddle 7fuump Remember, Renner spelled back- wards is Renner, Win with Wartin- bee, Vote for Growt, He Nose. To the uninformed outsider these phrases were meaningless, but to Centralites they expressed the policies of three rival factions striving to place their candidate in office as president of the S. T. C. Two week before election, post- ers with these slogans and many oth- ers, along with individual tags appear- ed. Though he was absent from school, Bob Wartinbee's campaign was handled by followers who serenaded Central students with a small band that played during the noon hour. John Growt's followers, bearing signs commending the virtues of their can- didate, appeared in nightshirts and pajamas. A large number of bobby soxers campaigning for Dick Renner attracted a crowd by singing songs written for the occasion. This appar- ently did the trick for on September 26th, the students elected Dick to head S. T. C. Top: The candidates and their managers review the events ot the '46 election in high spirits. Center: The students cost ballots for their candidate after two weeks of strenuous com- poigning. Bottom: The triumphant team, Dick Ren- ner and Dewey Romlo, survey one of their vote-getting posters. Though school-wide S. T. C. elec- tions are now a tradition, the presi- dent was not always elected in this manner. The members of the S. T. C. were formerly elected by the clubs and student body at large. These members then chose the president from their midst. The organization sponsored social dancing classes, clean-up campaigns, and bicycle clubs. lt issued charters to the school clubs and sent notes of sympathy to teach- ers and students in times of bereave- ment. ln i936 the present system of the president's election was begun. Since the election of Richard Carr in that year the organization has spon- sored such measures as the hall guide system, honor study hall, and senior privileges. Poe ll8 Qnfnadlid Qwh Gained. As on each Hallowe'en since l939, Centraltes again entered the Cass Street coor to receive their refresh- ment tickets. Customary activities for the students' enjoyment included shuffling the pucks, batting the ping pong balls, jumping the checkers, and playing cards. The theatrically inclin- ed presented talent shows which rocked the auditorium with their an- tics. fThe Bowery act with its colorful popular music and garishly attired cast took first place. Then also, fol- lowing custom, a murder-mystery movie was shown. Simultaneously Don Kaye's Band furnished music for glid- ing feet in the corn-shock filled, streamer-covered gym. Some teachers and parents served hot dogs, dough- nuts, ice cream, and soda pop, while cthers supervised games and dancing Under the capable direction of Miss Roche, Central's l-lallowe'en program successfully dealt with the annual noc- turnal celebration of hob-goblins and g'1osts.

White snow- flakes and chubby snowmen carried out the theme of Win- ter Wonderland. ln April, l946, Queen Joan Conway and King Bob Schlicht reigned over dancers at the iunior prom as the music of Bob Clark's or- chestra filled the gym beauti- fully decorated for Under the Big Top. Whenever Larry Zie- man, Bob Clark, or Don Kaye's orchestras were advertised, crowds of enthusiastic teen-ag- ers flocked to the gym for the various Friday night dances, Popular through this school year were the Saturday night iuke-box dances at the newly organized social center, the Swing Shanty. Every four weeks Centralites enjoyed the smooth music of their own swing band.
