FTER being duly elected and sworn in, May of 1946, President Tom Soules and Vice-President John Rechlin held their first meeting of the 1946-1947 Student Union administration September 10, 1946. Appointed by the President to assist him in his administrative duties were Dick Davidson, Secretary of Student Affairs; Manfred Doser, Secretary of Finance; Don Kerr, Secretary of Athletics; Barbara Roth, Secretary of Inter-school Relations; Carl Galow, Secretary of Student Publications; Bob Hayes, Attorney General; and Rolf Westgard, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Senate Clerk was Don Sherman and Senate Secretary was Carol Oviatt. One of the first activities of the season was the combined Inaugural Ball and All-School Party honoring the new president. Later in the fall, the senate sponsored a pep rally and the Football Honor Night honoring the gridiron players. This is to become an annual event. During the year, a Little Brown Jug was established by the senate between the Handy eleventh graders and the Central Reserve football squads. It was hoped that this would also become an annual event and would stimulate rivalry between the two schools. In the activity ticket drive, a participation percentage of 88 per cent was reached and an all-time high of S3400 dollars was collected. The winter noon-hour activities program was also carried out. It included ping-pong, noon movies, dancing and dance instruction, chess and checkers. One of the big accomplishments of the senate during the year was the passage of the Letter Revision Bill, which defined the types of letters which would be awarded for activities at Central both for athletic and non-athletic organizations. If i t i t 1 Cm ieme Count CU Qini'6, Jleaaite Originating in 1933, the Girls' League has grown rapidly through the years. Mrs. Roth, dean of girls, has been the sponsor of the organization since 1943. The purpose of the club is to bring all of the girls in school closei together by arousing their interests in school activities as well as social activities. Friendliness, Service, and Charity is the motto of the club and has been lived up to by their past year's activities. Among some of the civic activities sponsored by the league were the Red Cross drive, T. B. Stamp drive, and the Easter Seal sale. Redecorating the teacher's lounge was another project which the club undertook and accomplished. Aiding the Student Union with the Freshman Mixer, giving two teas for the senior girls, and sponsoring the Ribbon Prom and the Shamrock Swing were the social activities put on by the organization. An all-girl assembly was also presented. All girls in the school belong to the Girls' League, and they are represented at meetings by three girls elected from each grade. The officers elected for September through June were president, Barbara Roth; vice-president, Nancy Carney; secretary, Joan P. Downer; and treasurer, Nancy Boehringer. Ever Since it was originated, the Student Union Supreme Court has taken a major role in student affairs. The court consists of five justices appointed by Student Union President Tom Soules and approved by the senate. Rolf Westgard officiated as chief justice while Laurel Hine, Donald Batzer, Jack Mark, and Dick Lewis were associate justices. Duties of the court are to hear all students accused of breaking school laws. These crimes range from minor infringements such as locker violations to the more serious affronts such as smoking on the campus and disorderly conduct. Trials are held for students who plead innocent to their charges. Punishment is determined by the gravity of the offense. Ed Batzer. Tom Friedman. Roll Westgard. Clare Larson. Bob Hayes.

Its purpose is to maintain order and to help new students. The D. J. had charge of the noon movies and the cafeteria line both fourth and fifth noon hours this year. They are also on duty at the all-school party, all-school dances, and home football games. Mr. Omans is the sponsor of the department and Bob Hayes is Attorney-General. Clare Larson is captain.

The varsity won five, one of which, the Midland game, was sweet revenge; two more, the Arthur Hill and Flint Central, were resounding upsets; and the other two, with Port Huron and Owosso, were predicted. The season's opener was regarded as a moral victory as they held a heavier, more experienced, and rated Fordson team to a scoreless tie. JERRY ROSE Fullback GEORGE NICKEL Tackle ED GLEDHILL, JIM VALLEZ Guards r WO Varsity members, Bob Heinz and George Nickels, received All-State, All-Northeastern, and All-Valley honors while Jerry Greenwood, and Jim Valley received All-State and All-Valley honors and Don Glowicki, Bill Nelson, and Don Kerr received All-Valley posts. Heinz and Nickel were honorary and field captain respectively. The reserves, directed by Mr. Meisel and Mr. Grein, wound up with smashing wins over Handy, Arthur Hill, Midland, and Millington. They, too, had a moral victory in their 6-6 tie with Sebewaing who finished on top in the Thumb league. The freshmen had the best season of all, however, as they had a prefect record scoring four victories in their abbreviated season.

The head majorette is Carol Schweinsberg and Bill Cole leads the group. The majorettes and drum major rehearse every morning at eight o'clock, making their own routines. These majorettes and the drum major march in parades, at football games, and participate in the Band Bounce and pep assemblies. Their main aim is to stimulate school spirit in representing Central High School. 29 1 HE FIGHTING LITTLES, comedy in three acts, was presented by the January graduating class on December 11. The cast consisted of Rolf Westgard (quick-tempered Mr. Little), Marilyn Workman (fluttery Mrs. Little), Ralph Hudson (Filmer Little, who wishes to be either a hero or villian), Mary Lou Monks (Antoinette, who thinks Filmer is wonderful). Nan Couts (Goody Little, the misunderstood daughter), Marlys Miller and Ella Mae Willis (Goody's friends), Margaret Van Harren (Mrs. Harpeddal, a wealthy clubwoman). Nan Clugg, (Almatina, the Little's maid), Gil Austin (Ham Ellers, Goody's boy friend), Martha Abbot (Henrietta, Goody's friend from the South), Jim Slezak (an ambitious prig named Norman keels), Shirley Rivet (Cousin Olita, the housekeeper), and Bill Wiles (the problem child, Mrs. Harpeddal's son). The play was under the supervision of Miss Griffiths, faculty director; Jack McDermott, student director; and Marian Hine, prompter. r 9anumu Cla d- Jliriosiu -7997 On the night of November 6, 1943 a ferocious blaze filled the sky over Bay City as old Eastern Junior High School slowly crumbled to the ground. A few days later a frightened group of freshmen peered through the doors of Central. In February, we were joined by our associates from Handy High. We were introduced into school society at the Freshmen Mixer, given in our honor by the upper classmen. Another important event on our calendar during that first year was the B Class election. For our tenth grade officers we chose Jerry Cook, president; Nancy Giese, vice-president; Florence Karse, secretary; Carol Carney, treasurer; and Alvin Singer, Mary Florence, and Bill Myers, senators. Incidently, we were proud to bring with us to our school a new assistant principal, Mr. Omans, who has been ably assisting our principal, Mr. Briggs, ever since. Our junior year began as new officers were elected to lead us in Student Union participation. Those coming out with top honors from the voting polls were Bob Richardson, president; Laurine Whitney, vice-president; Florence Karse, secretary; Carol Carney, treasurer; and Nancy Giese, Bill Myers and Jean Fowley, senators. During the eventful year, President Richardson called us together to select our co-chairman for the semi-annual J-Hop. Pat Sherry and Tom Hewes, who were elected at a later date, chose for the dance theme, Frigid Festival. Finally came the great day and there we were, beaming proudly, new 12th graders. The competition was keen among class members running for office and those chosen to lead us through our last, busy year were Allan Omans, president; Bill Nelson, vice-president; Florence Karse, secretary; Carol Carney, treasurer; and Nancy Giese, Jean Fowley, and Beverly Klender, senators. During the football season members of our class sold hot-dogs to raise money for our treasury. Important school organizations welcomed many students. Some participants were Bob Hayes, head of the Department of Justice; Jeanne Schweitzer, pianist for the orchestra; Roy Bloch, on the staff of the Centralia; Nancy Giese, a cappella choir member, and Don Buchanan in the small band. In the field of athletics, many of the fellows became active on the football, swimming, tennis, basketball, and baseball teams. Among them were Allan Omans, Bill Nelson, Allan Jacques, Jim Boyle, Ken Geister, Bob Richardson, Jerry Rose, and Bill McEachern. At our first class meeting of the year, chairmen were appointed by our president to handle various senior affairs. Carol Wacker and Don Friebe had a chat with Mr. Hicks soon after that and soon each and everyone of us had a chance to show off our Pepsodent smiles for the camera. Among the important events of the year was the presentation of the school play, The Fighting Littles, by our class on December 11. Co-chairmen Helen Levy and Allan Jacques, with the help of our sponsor, Mr. Montgomery, managed the ticket sales, while our other sponsor, Miss Griffiths, handled the dramatics. The next senior activity scheduled was the Senior Fun Assembly which was held in the auditorium, January 9 under the direction of Nancy Giese and Bob Richardson. Every member of our class participated in a series of novelty acts including an operation, a ballet dance, a drum solo, a piano duet, and a leg show. Under the guidance of Pat Sherry and Tom Hewes we ordered calling cards and announcements which would let the world know our blissful state. On the morning of January 15, we marched down the aisle of the auditorium, wearing our caps and gowns for the first time, to participate in the traditional Swing-Out Assembly under the chairmanship of Beverly Klender and Bill McEachern. Others who took part during this ceremony were Pat Sherry, Blanche Baker, and Roy Bloch reading the class will; Florence Karse and Lee Alpern, reading the prophecy; Carol Wacker and Helen Levy, reading the class history; Nancy Giese, reading the class poem; and President Omans officiating. That afternoon at the Wenonah Hotel, we gathered with our guests for the Senior Luncheon which was planned for us by Esther Brown and Charles Abbs. A theater party followed the luncheon. One of the biggest events of the year was the Senior Prom. Instruments of all types were hung about the room, and many famous bandleaders were pictured on musical notes, all of which suggested the dance theme Musical Fantasy. Blanche Baker and Jim Boyle appointed and worked with their various committees to make this affair a success. Baccalaureate Service, at the First Methodist Church with the Reverend Charles Wolfe officiating, was attended by all graduates as well as many parents. Services were arranged for by Elaine Harris and Lee Alpern and were held on Sunday, January 19, at seven-thirty in the evening. A school career which had started so event-fully closed on the solemn note of commencement. Our valedictorian, Eugenia Willard, and our salutatorian, Jean Fowley, addressed the class and assembled parents. Dr. Folly of Wayne University delivered a timely message. And so another phase of life has passed us by. We wish to thank our teachers for all the help and encouragement they have given us. To our sponsors, Mr. Stuart, Mr. Speelman, Mr. Montgomery, and Miss Griffiths, we give a special vote of thanks for guiding us through our many activities, social and otherwise. Here's to Central! It's been wonderful and thanks for the memories! 33 anuasuj, QlaM Whence kahsc ,secj CAfioi ;o JEAN rOWLEY NANCY CIESE BEVEBLY KLENDER DEL J.
