I gh unning, hiking or just-standing still, Americans across the nation set out in pursuit of sunshine, fresh air, fitness and fun. i Sweat-suits were the latest fashion for millions who jogged their daily rounds, joined a spreading rage for paddle ball and racquet ball, or just lounged around. For the less athletic types, putt-puttering mopeds made the scene. Terror in the streets of New York ended when David Berkowitz was captured and accused of being the Son of Sam killer. Francine Hughes was acquitted of murder in the death of her husband. She set fire to him as he slept, explaining later that a voice had told her and that he had beaten her many times. NASA's recent test flight of the space shuttle brought us closer to a new era of orbiting factories and power stations. Laetril has been pushed and attacked, with the real issue seeming to lie in how far the government can go to restrict rights. Americans were jolted with the news that Social Security was on the verge of bankruptcy and Carter's new plan will raise Social securityv taxes for years to come. Bert Lance was brought under fire for wheeling and dealing as a rural banker. Carter stuck by him until both thought it better if he were replaced. The Korean bribery scandal opened up with a few indictments and South Korean bluster, but with little prospect of pinning down the truth. Panama's Torrijos backed a Canal Treaty with the U.S. that will go in effect in the year 2000 AD. Sadat, Egypt's leader, made a genuine attempt for peace as he met with President Carter and other world leaders in peace talks. Cancer victim Hubert Humphrey proudly returned to the Senate before his death. A nation mourned. Richard Nixon came out of seclusion to tell America on TV how the whole thing occurred. First brother Billy christened a beer bearing his name. The Alaskan pipeline was completed and promptly broke down. All year long the weather was too much. Too hot, too cold, too dry or too wet. California's summer drought brought fear of sinking into the ocean. Blizzards in the Tourists find time to relax on Capitol Hill and admire our nation's Capitol in Washington D.C. Mr. Tobin and Principal Mr. Curtis break from their hectic schedules for an amusing chat in front of student Services. Students get away from classes and meet friends in the hallways. Here, Helen Johnson, Anne Niergarth and Caroline Liken talk about the latest news during their lunch hour. Northeast paralyzed many under sheets of ice and blankets of snow. Rampaging floods in Kansas washed away homes, cars and possessions. An erupting volcano in Hawaii lit the sky with fiery lava shooting 400 feet in the air. Man made catastrophes hit hard too. A night club fire in Kentucky killed 164. New York suffered its second blackout in twelve years. An elevated train plunged to the sidewalk in Chicago's downtown Loop, killing a dozen and injuring 160. Cheryl Teigs was named the highest paid fashion model with a fee of one-thousand dollars an hour. Anita Bryant fought the gays and was hit in the face with a pie. One after another the states are changing rape lawsto reflect the heinousness of the crime. Volunteers have established rape clinics and facilities for battered wives. Showbusiness staged a final act like none before. Elvis, the King of Rock, Bing Crosby, famed singer of White Christmas, Guy Lombardo, usher of the New Yearg Graucho Marx, whose mustache and bitten cigar were legend and Joan Crawford, famed actress and leading lady of 80+ movies all took their final curtain this year. Sports, movies and exhibits were among the entertainment sources for many Americans. The World Series was excitment for all as the batting sensation Reggie Jackson lead the Yankees to a win over the Dodgers. The young Steve Cauthen rode Affirmed to an exciting win in the 104th Kentucky Derby. Among the top box office movies in the nation were Star Wars, with its irresistible R2D2, C3PO, and the Lord Darth Vadarg Rocky, with its theme music and star Sylvester Stalloneg Close Encounters of the Third Kind, with its miraculous space ships and creatures which upped UFO sightings across the nation and Annie Hall, Woody Allen's new film. Americans all over the nation stood in lines for many hours to view the treasures of King Tut's Tomb exhibit which toured the U.S. Record albums were one of teenagers favorite buys. Such albums as Fleetwood Mac, Rumoursg Eagles, 'fHotel Californiaf' Led Zepplin, The Song Remains the Same were all top LP's in the charts. he year produced a great deal of activity on Capitol Hill. The 95th Congress has enacted several major pieces of legislation which affect the State of Michigan. Included are the Clean Air Amendment, The Water Pollution Control Act, The Public Works Jobs Bill and The Housing and Community Development Act. Solar energy is fast becoming a part of Michigan as shown by many buildings converting to that source of energy. The Saginaw Federal Bui1ding's solar collecter has beenproviding all the hot water and half the heating and cooling needs for the building. Solar energy will work in Michigan. Signs proclaiming Tests of drinking water in this establishment exceed a maximum contaminate level are being plastered on buildings throughout the state. Under new state and federal legislation public water supplies are required to have the quality tested every three months, and to notify consumers if test results exceed specific levels. Michigan ranked second among the states in the total number of state fishing licenses, tags, permits and stamps sold last year, and third in the sale of hunting licenses. -' The bowfin and gar, both found in Michigan waters, are a real pair of oldtimers having survived as a species without much change for '200 million years. Michigan will grow warmer in the next ten to twenty years claims Dr. David Gates of the University of Michigan. Gates also predicts from climate patterns that the Great Lake levels will fall and that Michigan's agricultural zones will shift northward during this period. B lk. ,. mf-alumnus F 'NPW5' ...s Semors Kathi Curtiss and Heidi Higgs discuss the coming graduation events on the way to class. Tena Straub carefully copies notes during a lecture.

Dave Mielens anticipates naming clubs trump on his next turn during a lunch hour euchre game. . i. iti' . at 1 h I . ..v, - l x l Michigan will raise the drinking age to nineteen on December 3, 1978. This will be a trial one year run. The age may then either go back to eighteen or possibly up to twenty or twenty-one, depending on the outcome of this trial year. PBB trials went on throughout the year. Burial of the contaminated cattle in Oscoda County, particularly in Mio, has been fought by the citizens of that county, but Governor Milliken has stated that it will still be in that area. . The Michigan Wolverines once again made it to the Rose Bowl and once again came home very disappointed after losing the game, this time to Washington. ' The Upper Peninsula wants to become a separate state, but Governor Milliken desires to unite Michigan's Peninsulas in the State Motto. The current motto implies that there is only one peninsula. The current motto, Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoinam Cirsumspice translates from Latin to English as, If you seek a pleasant peninsula look about you. The motto dates from two years before the U.P. was tacked on to Michigan. The new motto would read, Si Quaeris Peninsulas Amoenas Circumspice, which translates, If you seek pleasant peninsulas, look about you. The seal was adopted by a constitutional convention in 1835, and the U.P. was added to the state in 1837 as a compensation for the loss of the so called Toledo Strip in a boundry dispute with Ohio. he 1977-78 academic year for the Bay City Public School District got off to a late start contemplating a teacher strike which lasted two weeks. The main issues were class size, salary and family health care. Teachers wound up taking no pay increase for the next three years, class size soared until courts ordered Elementery class size to be thirty students or less and final settlements on health -insurance was to use the same program as in previous years. The day after Thanksgiving Bay City greeted the joyous Christmas season with a dynamic new light display in Battery Park. The morning of December 10, a tragedy beyond belief occurred in downtown Bay City. The famous Wenonah building erupted in flames which destroyed the complete structure. The disaster resulted in nearly a dozen fatalities and over forty casualties. , The new year gusted in with freezing temperatures and plenty of snow. January marked the worst blizzard in Bay City since 1967, coincidentally on the same day. Just five years ago the Board of Directors of Mercy and General Hospitals decided to merge as one. This year the opening of the new Bay Medical Center was celebrated and full services for the community were made available. The widening of Trumbull was blocked by petition and even the widening of the intersection was opposed as too much. Bay City hired a consultant to come up with a design for a revitalized central business district. Working with the Downtown Authority a plan will be drawn up with recommendations for better building and space utilization, parking facilities, street alignments and transit service. A grant of 519,974,375 was given to Bay City for construction of sewer facilities by the Environmental Protection Agency. This money will ,Ji g N help finance the S333,400,000 Phase Two of the project to upgrade sewage collection and storage facilities. These funds are in addition to 3.5 million for federal funds for the project. The state is to furnish S22 million with the rest coming from the tax payers. eg! Did you ever wonder' how your Student Council President measures up? Brian's little brother Ricky Jaffe finds out he's too tall for him. But look! Brian's standing on his toes. Mr. Pat Brady, a neighborhood lawyer, walks with striking teachers Mr. White and Mr. Kanicki discussing the issues of the strike outside of Central. With the closing of Mercy Hospital came the opening of the new Bay Medical Center with ultra modern facilities for the community. Give me five, brother, shouts Kurt King to John Jones in the exciting hallways of Central High. Little Michigan, an amusement park project, is slowly becoming more than just a proposal. Bay City Commissioners granted S50,000 towards the project which will bring much growth to Bay County. The Michigan Department of State Highways and transportation has developed a computer traffic model which enables them to predict how many vehicles will be using major streets in years ahead. It is being used to study problems on replacement of the Third Street Bridge, widening of Trumbull and the possibility of a South End bridge. Sewer work on the West side, combined with construction on the widening of ' Wilder Road, made travel difficult this year and possibly will for another year. The S2 million project of widening Wilder Road will provide a good link between Independence Bridge and M-13 when completed. l n D A two month mlllage campaign with workers pushing a Let's Make it Happen theme were crushed when the results revealed a defeat of 13,000 NO, to 7,740 YES, as over 20,000 voters came to the polls to make their decision clear. The Bay City Times began expanding facilities by constructing an addition to house their new presses. The Bay City Police Force and the Bay-County Sheriffs Department merged together under one central dispatch center. They both now occupy the ultra modern Law Enforcement Center which was completed this Spring. A freak accident on Veterans Memorial Bridge left a man dead and a woman charged with his death. The vehicle driven by the woman hit the median, jumped over and struck the man as he walked across the bridge. Police on the scene found his one shoe in the grill of the car and the second on the bridge walk. -His body was found the following day after hours of dredging the Saginaw River. If ummer Celebration 77, ended mid- summer blues for over 10,000 rock concert fans with the first out door concert in Bay City. Central's Engel Stadium set the stage for the concert which featured groups such as Brownsville Station, Firefall and the ever popular REO Speedwagon. Central's Junior Boosters Club sponsored this outdoor extravaganza. Central High students had an extended summer vacation, as did all public school students, when the announcement of a teacher strike occurred. Two weeks later it was back to the books for everyone as teachers agreed to re- enter the classrooms. Three foreign exchange students, all seniors were hosted by Central this year. Manuel Situa Colas, from Barcelona, Spain, was known as the traveling exchange student. His stay here at Central was short lived, but his understanding of the English language improved greatlywhile socializing with many of the students. Leticia Letty Guerrero Perez, from the Villa Hermosa in the state of Tobasco, Mexico, made friends quickly and participated in many activities at Central. She played on the girlsbasketball team, bowled during the mixed bowling season, took piano lessons and sang with the A'Cappella choir. Marja Vandervorst came to us from Hilversum in the Netherlands. Marja adapted easily to the American way of life. She also bowled during the mixed bowling season, but particularly enjoyed the football season, being' athletically oriented herself. Juniors made up the largest class in Central with 596, as Central's total enrollment dropped from last year's 2,263 to this year's 2,2l4. The Freshman ranked next with a total of 548, 'Sophomores close behind with 544, and finally Seniors with a total of 532. Up With People, a non-profit group made up of students from countries world wide, came to Bay City to present two performances. One to the students of 'Central High, which generated great excitement, and another later that evening to the people of Bay City. ' ' English Honor Clubs, Ecclesia and CCC initiated males as well as females this year, due to the passage of Title IX, which states, No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of or be subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity' receiving federal financial assistance . . . Often during classes the student services will call students to give them messages from Administra- tors, Rosie Askew smiles after hearing of her next year schedule foul up. The last few days for seniors were warm ones, John Castaneda pulls open the shade to let some of those bright sunny rays in on Randy Skibinski. Kurt Fogelsonger catches a few rays during his lunch hour in the student parking lot. 0 2-fy A Career Resource Center opened at Central this year as a supplement to the Student Services and the school library. Many types of information were made available in the center such as applications to several colleges, both vocational and academic career information and mini-movies describing jobs, qualifications needed and salaries earned. The Center provided much help and spread interest in job as well as careers. For the first time in 47 years Central did not celebrate Band Bounce, the student variety show cast in the Spring, due to the austerity program which limited teachers. The Band and Choirs did present a Spring Concert to supplement the former activity. Renovation of the third floor at Central began in December and is predicted to be completed in mid-August. Money for the project came from the Economic Development Authority, a federal agency. The third floor east hall will be gutted completely, and new corridors and classrooms will be constructed. A relocated corridor and new library will also be built. All the science rooms will be rebuilt and equipped with modem lab equipment. V Wally Meyer, a senior at Bay City Central captured the Michigan High School Championship in Chess this year. Wally won five out of five matches on his road to the Championship. He was the third Central High student to capture the title in the past three years. A new program Learning Lab, was set up at Central this year which was developed to help students with their problems. Class size was kept to a maximum of 16 students for more personal attention. . During Easter Vacation Student Council sponsored the Great Spring Clean-Up. The projects undergone by the students were hallway cleaning, locker and wall scrubbing and parking lot sweeping. Due to the Millage defeat in April, Central will be under many reductions next year. Staff size will be decreased with 73 teachers being pink-slipped and a few being recalled. Central will utilize its building space to the fullest as High- School students will occupy the building in the morning and Intermediate students during the late afternoon. No sports or extra-curricular activities will be available.

Monday night football featured the classic Ecclesia vs. CCC Powder Puff game. The final buzzer proved Ecclesia too tough for f the CCC team as they were defeated 14-0, the first time in three years and only the second in the history of the two honor clubs. Halftime highlighted the annual tug-of-war contest between classes. The mighty Sophomores pulled their way to a victory over the powerful Seniors, but the Seniors spirit remained strong as they went on ,to win the hall decorating contest with colorful purple and gold streamers and brightly painted posters. Throughout the week spirits rose higher as the flaming heat of Thursday nights bonfire warmed everyone who attended. Go, Fight, Win were only a few chants lead by the Cheerleaders and Varsity gridders. While cheering grew intense, the dummy of a Midland High player burned in the raging fire, sparking everyone's pep for the coming game. Pep? Thunderous voices chanting V-I-C-T-O- R-Y, that s the Sophomore battle cry showed they had it, as the Sophomores won the pep jug ' during Friday's pep assembly, only moments before the Homecoming court was introduced and Rosemary Trahan announced as queen. 21-42, that's the score. After four quarters of strenuous play the Wolves just couldn,t hold the brutal Midland Chemics back, but that didn't dampen the Homecoming crowd any, as Homecoming '77 truely became one for all to remember. We May Never Pass This ay Again If e May Never Pass This Way Again was the theme set for Homecoming 1977. Excitement filled the students all week, I climaxing at the Friday afternoon pep assembly when Rosemary Trahan was announced Homecoming Queen. Elections were based on popular vote with ten girls from each class being selected during semifinals. Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors then elected three girls during finals and Seniors elected four girls with one becoming queen. Friday night, October 21, Queen Rosemary and her court reigned over halftime ceremonies. The father of each court member proudly escorted her.down the field while the Marching Band played the melody Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. Formal crowning of Rose was performed by last years Homecoming Queen Susan Simpson. . Student Council prescntedthe Homecoming dance Saturday evening, October 22, in the Central High Gymnasium from 8:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Prior to the introduction of the Queen and her court at 9:00 p.m., Girls League members entertained the court members, their parents, escorts and the Administrators in the Student Commons with assorted cookies, punch and coffee.

What an ordeal this really is, but stop and think. This is the last time to sit in the Gymnasi- um as a student of Central High School. This Commencement seemed so short, over too quickly. But, the symbolism of this final ceremony was not lost. The symbolism was enriched by the words of our first elected speaker, Brian Jaffe, when he spoke of our being members of the human race, all the same, and we should never show discrimination against ourselves. Rather, we should be happy to be joining a very productive society and this human race, We must learn to regulate and temper our efforts so that we can compete in the race well. Our second speaker, Wade Lodewyk, chose a slightly different and light- er tack when he spoke of progressing year by year from kindergarten through to Commencement, the starting out on life. Debbie Gwizdala and Kathy Curtiss intoned the names in a dignified manner, and before our friends and family we proudly marched to the dais where we shook hands with an official of the school dis- trict and received a diploma. The race was on. ,n-F' ,f ti N -il D Q, :V E ,tx 'ii is nl P Q ew v F 'A Q 1 64 lg., . t1v',,, , WN '.- ,CTX f V ., . V :vkfidfr , s2 ,F 5 fi, V, V .. ,- I MQTAVQQI . f K .

The Junior enthusiasm spread throughout the school. The spirit they contributed at pep assemblies helped to electrify class projects. These projects included a car wash held at the Clark gas station on Garfield, where everyone was totally soaked, but had a great time making money. A bake sale saw a Halloween cake covered with ghosts and goblins raffled off and won by Ann Box. A carnation sale was held during Valentines Day and the flowers were delivered by spritely dancing master, Beth Ballor. During B.O.R.E. week a bubblegum sale and a bubble blowing contest was held.

Slam 'm sure we can all remember what it is like to be a scared, nervous little fourteen year old ,coming to a big school. Once the initial shock is over and we learn the way around school, another big transition must be made. Studies in high school seem so much more difficult' and different than in grade school. It may take as long as a semester for' some students to get in the groove of things. A nice way Central likes to break the ice is with Freshman English classes. These classes last a whole year, giving plenty of time to get acquainted with their classmates. It introduces a student to the different types of English courses offered at Central. Freshman English covers everything from poetry to science fiction. From this class, Frosh find it easier in - choosing future English courses. Mrs. Moskal, who teaches a class in Freshman English is the Freshman class sponsor. She was a big help in the fund raiser the class held. It was a chance to Win Your Weight in Silver. Jane Gwizdala won lst prize, thirty dollars. The Freshman class was also fortunate to earn enough to be able to pay off their debts. In other school activities, a good sprinkling of Frosh turned out at the Easter clean-up sponsored by Student Council. Those who helped really enjoyed themselves and felt especially good about doing something for their school.

These young men suffered through the summer heat and the grueling sun beat down on them during their drills. All of this torture was for one goal: to win nine games, many of which could determine a state champion from an average team. The first of these games was at Alpena. The long drive was worth it as the Wolves started their season with a convincing win over the Wildcats. Traveling to Saginaw the next week, Central had to play the very tough Hillites from Arthur Hill. Fighting valiantly for all four quarters the Wolves came out on the losing end. A highlight of the game was a 60-yard punt return by speedster Danny Daniels. After this loss, the Wolves gained two victories. Une of these came at the hands of Flint Central. Saginaw High then came to town, and as a steady rain drenched the crowd, the Wolves drowned the Trojans with a potent offensive attack led by the two touchdown effort of Pat Kennell. The Wolves then traveled to Flint to take on Flint Southwestern, who were rated number one at that time. The Wolfpack drew first blood with a touchdown, but after that it was all Southwestern and the team had their second loss. With their record at 3-2, the Wolves had to face arch-rivals in the Western team. The game was close throughout, and when the gun went off at the end of four quarters, the score was 7-7. Going into overtime the Wolves had the first opportunity to score. Jon Murphy charged through the line, and when the play was over he had six points. Brian Cummings prepared to kick the extra point, but holder Jim Urban picked up the ball and threw for two to Ronnie Rogers. The Warriors then received the ball and they also scored six points. Trying for the two-point conversion, the Warriors lined up, but were stopped by a gallant defensive effort. Next was Homecoming. The Wolfpack was up for the game, but Midland was higher. The Chemics totally ruled the game, having no mercy on the Homecoming crowd from Central. When it was over, the Chemics had won. The next week the Wolves were back on the winning track with a victory over Flint Northern. Finally, the biggest game of the year arrived: the annual classic against Handy. The Wildcats tried hard, but the Central team was too powerful for the 'Cats and after four quarters of rough and tumble football the Wolves emerged victorious. Overall it was a successful season. Many teams would be proud to own a 6-3 record. Records don't always indicate the quality of a team, and even though we ended with three defeats, the never-say-die Wolves proved to be a fine football team. ax...,,. ,wzyvv-v' .. rf 'A 'io fha . .- A ,...t-' Q. -av!

The recipient of the Most Improved award was Randy RAX Axtell, for his amazing improvement at the guard position. All-Valley honf ors were given to Rick SIMO Siminski, and Keith Kanicki. Gold Helmet recipients included: Pat Kennell for his fine offensive effort at halfback, Keith Kanicki for his outstanding ability as the team's offensive end, and Rich Klawinski for his firmness on the defensive line, which kept the oppo- nents' scoring to a minimum. The most sought after award, Most Valuable Player, was awarded to Keith Kanicki who had a very fine year here at Central. A team captain was also selected. He led the team as quarterback. This fine leader was Pat Fleming. 4 A nl wg., .J fu, ,ff-va Rich Klawinski Q8lJ and Randy Axtell 1625 prepare to demolish the opposing team.

According to Coach Toyzan, 'fThe lack of experience from these players and the lack of sophomores playing didn't help the team, which ended with a l-8 record. The highlight of the season was a win against Flint Central. The team learned many plays and executed them well, but the few mistakes in every game was their downfall. This seasons effort was an energy packed learning experience. It gave all of the members of next yearis team much needed experience and playing time. 41 li lk 1' Going up the middle for some yardage is a hardrunning back.

Varsity efeats ity ivals our Seniors, eight Juniors, and four Sophomores made up the roster for this year's girls varsity basketball team. The season began with a convincing victory over Saginaw Eisenhower, but then the cagers fell short and lost their next six games. The team then pulled together and came up with victories over Western and Handy and finished the season by winning ten of their last fourteen games. In city compeition, the girls finished on top with two victories over Western and one over Handy. Several outstanding individuals contributed to the successful season, including a majority of underclassmen, so the future of basketball at Central looks bright and promising.

With the large number of Frosh girls they were able to have several reserve scrimmages with neighboring schools. By these informal contests the girls gained much experience for their future years. With a season record of twenty-six wins and four losses and a conference record of seven and three, the girls J.V. team showed much teamwork and individual talent.

Seniors Pat Fleming, Jim Sisson, Mark Pickett and John Antle were strong contributors to the team. Fleming proved to be a great leader and hustler and was elected team captain by his teammates. Pat led the team with 100 assists. Jim Sisson was selected as the best defensive player and Mark Pickett won the most improved award. Three Juniors represented the heart of the scoring and rebounding for the team. These three: Rennie Tarver, George Archer and Perry Garrett, impressed many teams as they hauled down 400 rebounds and averaged 44 points a game between them. These three have the potential to become stars in the future. Overall, it was a very satisfactory season and the future looks even brighter.

Basketball team surprised many people this season. After losing their first five games, it looked as though their situation was hopeless. As an average they were giving up 75 points per game and scoring only 40. Their first win came during the Dow Holiday tournament. This was a turning point in the season, and from here they went on to win 8 of their last 15 games. Highlights of the year were a second place finish at the Dow Holiday tournament and winning the J.V. city championship for the second year in a row. ik ak Ik Ik The 1977-78 J.V.

Coach Mike Nelson led the team to a 2nd place finish at the Valley meet and 10th place at the State meet with 38 points. At the Valley meet the girls won 6 of ll events. The events they won included: the 200- yard medley relay team of Suzanne Pederson, Julie Wolfe, Janet Neering and Rose Trahan which also placed 8th in the state, the Individual Medley by Julie Wolfe, the 50 and 100-yard freestyles were taken by Rose Trahan who also placed 9th and llth respectively in those events at the state meet, the 500-yard freestyle by Janet Neeringg and the 100-yard breaststroke was won by Julie Wolfe, who placed 3rd in the state meet in that event, and also finished 5th in the 50-yard freestyle at the state meet. In dual meets the girls finished with an 8-4 record. The team could have won all of their meets, but lack of depth caused many of the losses. In each of the meets they lost the girls won more than half of the events, but didnit have the depth to put the meet in the victory column.

The girls finished the season with an overall winning record of 8-7, but more important were the valuable lessons of co-operation and teamwork and the improvement of their skills. There was no freshman team this year so the freshmen were placed on the junior varsity team. Performing in a back-up role to the sophomores, the freshmen also participated in several additional scrimmages. The highlight of their season was a victory over Western's ninth grade team. The future of these girls looks very bright. The six sophomores are ready for varsity competition and the nine freshmen should form a solid junior varsity team for l979.

As a psychology project, they created the Snow Grunion Story, otherwise known as How to Fool Some of the People All of the Time. It was designed to prove that masses move the minority. The three men would overwhelm individuals with supposedly factual information about the Snow Grunion. The Snow Grunion is an imaginary animal which the three fabricated, an Snow Grunion Fly By incredible story. According to literature handed out, the Snow Grunion is found only in the Great Lakes region. It is a fresh water flying fish with numerous peculiarities. To promote the hoax, they organized a club which supposedly was founded to preserve and protect the endangered Snow Grunion. Approximately forty adventurous students joined the club by paying a one dollar membership fee. When C.G.A. received a charter from Student Council and earned a representative, the Centralia published an article reporting C.G.A.'s existence. The Centralia also contained an advertisement asking for support of C.G.A. Several meetings were held and fund raising activities were discussed to finance projects of study on Snow Grunion. The group continued to promote good public relations around school and earned a respectable name. Overall the Grunion Club proved to be a unique experiment which succeeded, mainly due to Senioritis, the tendency for students to become irrational in their Senior year. Jwih- Girls League Involves Many UW STL, itle IX almost converted Girls League into Student League but male students lacked the necessary incentive to infiltrate the club. Girls League remained as the name implies, but with male support. Whispers of Christmasl' was the theme for the Christmas Ball annually held by Girls League. Long hours of careful planning and preparation were put into the ball to make it a success. To finance the Ball, several bake sales were held, a bean-bag chair was raffled off, and members sold boxes of M8cM candy. Officers of the League were: Kaaren Colberg, president, Mary Wheeler, vice-president and treasurer, Maria Ruiz, secretary. lk if II' The Grunion Club consists of, from left to right top row: Tom Rosenbury, Rich Siminski, Greg Wittkopp, Tom LaRoche, Chuck Anker, Tom Schultz, Pat Turek, Dean Sharrard and Randy Foco.

The tradition of Homecoming Week was upheld including the Homecoming Dance, the annual Powderpuff Game, and the lighting of the Bonfire. The Hall Decorating Contest was also a highlight of the week. Under the sponsorship of Student Council the Blood Drive had a favorable response from the students. Student Council headed the March of Dimes and the Send a Mouse to College collections. Representative Jim Barcia was present to inform the student body on matters pertaining to the changing of the drinking age. Bore Week was celebrated in fine fashion with the Penny Arcade, the Pie Eating contest and the Guess the Jelly Beans in the Jar contest. During .Easter vacation, SC rallied two hundred students to clean the parking lot. The first week in May was Spirit Week, a dress down and dress up celebration of the rites of spring.

Mr. Jacques Lama did a great job as the Club's sponsor. The French Club's fund raising activities included selling Christmas candles, selling popcorn and Coke at basketball games, bake sales, car washes, a rummage sale, and selling fast feet erasers. Highlighting the Clubis activities was their third annual Rock-a-Thon at the Hampton Square Mall. French Club members asked people to sponsor them for each hour that they rocked. The Club rocked for ten long hours - but they all knew it would be worth the trip to Quebec. Most of the people in Quebec speak exclusively French, and for one week the students observed the French ways of life. All the French Club members agreed it was a valuable learning experience besides being a lot of fun. They visited museums, churches, and the Plains of Abraham. They also had picnics along the St. Lawrence River, visited the Chateau Frontenac, and walked on the Boardwalk. The French Club had another interesting experience when they visited a French farm. There they met a true Frenchman who has preserved the unique way of life of the ninteenth century pioneers. So, it just goes to show, with a little hard work you can sure go a long way!

Dressed in black and white, the members are always cheerful and ready to assist the patrons. They are invaluable in helping members of an audience quickly find their places, but the real impact is in how they effect the way the adult community sees Central. Every school function where the Ushers take part, community members come face to face with these friendly and helpful students. Central is fortunate to have its image being shaped by people such as these. The organization is open to anyone in grades nine through twelve, male or female. This year more than fifteen students participated in Usher's Club and their related activities. As in the past, the members have a cook-out at the home of their sponsor, Mrs. Feidler, to conclude the yearis activities. wk Pk FF Tina Straub and Donna Reetz raise funds in front of Penny's.

Your heart begins to pound as you plan your course down the slope that has just the night before been blanketed with a crisp new layer of white gold. Suddenly, you get your courage up, and you shove off down the mountainside. The wind and snow flurries in the air rush against your face as you slide past the snow covered evergreens. The runs seem all to short, though. Before you know it, you must begin checking your speed. The bottom of the slope comes into sight. Only one thought is going through your mind as you finish the exhilarating run, HI can't wait to do it again. And then, you remember that you must first wait in the line to get back on the chair lift. Oh well, that's all part of the sport. Besides, you meet some very interesting people in the lift lines. The Ski Club of Central had some interesting members this year. Their skills ranged from the near professional ones of their president, Eric Anderson, to those of the beginners who were just being introduced to the sport. They also had the chance to observe the Alpine tactics of our exchange student from Holland, Marja Vandervorst, who has skied at many of the European resorts. Their sponsor, Mr. Hovis, was willing to take a load of skiers up just about any weekend that they decided on. One thing that they all agree upon, no matter what their ability, is that they have a great time. What do the skiers do after the grass is again exposed on the slopes? They usually try to end the season by taking a canoe trip. After all, skiers are capable of waiting out the lousy warmer weather. , ' '+ .J Q, f , fa-.ie .. i.,,,, , .V In .Q -.-.mg '411'f:+f.+.

Three different fields students can get into through Co-op are Office Education, Distributive Education and Trades Industrials. In Office Education people are trained to work as secretaries, receptionists or clerks. In Distributive Education people work in places such as MacDonalds, Valley Drug, Burger King or gas stations. In Trades students learn a trade that they will use for the rest of their lives.

Mrs. Serresseque's Art Club occasionally picks up saws and hammers and with a shout of You Gotta Have Art transform themselves into that mighty and industrious group known as Stagecraft, righter of wrong angles, alterer of perspectives and obfuscater of men's minds. The sets that Stagecraft creates are built in anticipation of the needs of the actors,-the Centurion players, and still recognize the limitations of our proscenium stage converted to theater-in-the-round. To do this they must study the script so they can design and build the correct backdrops and props needed in the play. 2 .. L:..4,. fmt, 1 H -2 . r '.!-rf-I in-P .w -.4., .

In December, J .B.C. held the largest concert of the year in the auditorium. The group that played was U.F.O. In the summer of '77, J.B.C. brought forth an array of bands to Engle Stadium. They billed this event as SUMMER CELEBRATION '77.', It drew a crowd of nearly ten thousand fans who came to hear their favorite bands perform. The concert started with the awakening sounds of Salem Witchcraft. As the day wore on, such bands as Brownsville Station, Firefall and R.E.O. Speedwagon showed their musical abilities.

The songs ranged from the SWEETHEART OF SIGMA CHI for Homecoming to the BEER BARREL POLKA. The band also performed with the MacGregor and Washington r s School bands during one half-time show. Finishing off the year was a salute to the seniors during the last home game. During basketball season, this years pep band played at every Friday night home game. This attraction added to the success of the basketball games. They highlighted with the pep song, C-Bump and new songs including the theme from Rocky.

The flags moved in swooping lines and circles, dipping their gold banners in time to the beat of the band. They formed a perfect complement to the movements of the other pep units.

Posters T i sif set up in the halls and in the gym proclaimed, We are Number One and This is Wolves Country? The highlight of all assemblies is the cheering for the pep jug. Almost every assembly we see a new class win the rights to the jug. The class that yells loudest gets to keep the jug until next assembly. If it weren't for these all school assemblies, spirit in this school would be low, and few of the student body would come out and cheer on our teams to victory. Student participation is important to having a number one team.

This year did not have as many assemblies as in the past because the millage defeat meant the school could not pay for any. But this did not stop us from having the few greats we did. Many of the assemblies were held for purposes such as: the HandyfCentral game, homecoming, first game of the year, and class meetings. The assemblies usually were held during 4th or 5th hours and the classes that day were reduced by 15 minutes to allow time for the assemblies.

Mrs. Barbara Wendland, the librarian, Mrs. Mildren Nuffer, secretary, and Mrs. Phyllis Woody, clerk-typist, are the three members of the library at Central who helped to organize the nearly impossible task of moving. More than 3000 new paperbacks were bought by the state to supplement the dwindling resources. The variety of subjects covered mysteries, love stories, science fiction, tales of war, reference materials and the entire five year accumulation of over one hundred different titles of magazines. Also on hand are audiovisual equipment and pamphlet files. To extend service, Mrs. Wendland served at Central Branch Library afternoons and one evening a week. Next year will mean new quarters, but another cut in staff and budget due to the millage defeat.

During cold weather, the activities are mostly indoor. When the weather warms up, the kids move outside and gather in the parking lot. They sit in their cars listening to the radio or swapping tall stories about how good they are, until the hall monitor kicks them out.

The world of business is rapidly being attacked by many young adults, as it is a popular career area. It can land them a job anywhere from the secretarial pool to computer programming. Central has many courses which can head a prospective business student on the right path. Typing, Shorthand, Record Keeping, Office Practice, Business English, and Business Machines are all essential to the student whose future lies in office and secretarial work. Such skills also aid those whose jobs are not in business. Accounting and Data Processing are two very rewarding classes. They help most students in starting their business education. Now that CPA's and computer programmers are very much in demand, a student going into the business world is likely to have many job opportunities.

Stepping on the brakes a little too hard and fast can set the instructor into a fit of rage and maybe even a nervous break down. Yes, being a drivers education student is much different than being a passenger in Mom or Dad's car. The classes consist of three parts: simulators, classroom, and behind the wheel. In the simulators the lights go off and on goes the movie. You are driving down the road in a new red Cougar, when all of a sudden the lights on your panel start lighting up and the instructor tells you to watch what you are doing and stop making so many mistakes. In the classroom, the teacher is talking and your eyes grow heavier and heavier - getting tired from listening to him for so long. Behind the wheel, you are in control. You feel as if the road is all yours when all of a sudden you hear, Hey!, stop dreaming and keep your eyes on the roadf, Although driving can be fun at times, it is to be taken seriously so the driver can ensure his health and safety and protect the safety of others. ik Ik 'lf While a car load of students go on their way, Mr. Weise draws a diagram and stu- dents look on.

Both Freshman and Sophomore classes have regular routines. Freshmen splash playfully or thrash desperately in pool. They study from dental care to toenail paring in health and bunch their muscles to the cadence of a drill sargeant in basic gym, Sophomores tumble gleefully on mats that sometime turn to hardwood floor. Some of these basic moves are later applied to the trampoline, balance beam and parallel bars.

Mr. Philip Wendell took over the job with much vitality and enthusiasm and soon had a summer weary band back on their quarter notes and half rests. Mr. Wendell took the band through football season with a wary eye on the rest of the year. Fine Arts Festival was not far away in March, and for this a new repetoire had to be learned. Concert, Symphonic and Cadet Bands performed, along with the Orchestra and Stage Band. For many there was Solo Ensemble to practice for. On February 21, fourteen students went through the agony of being judged in a District meet. The group from Central had an exceptional record of 10 ones, 3 twos and l three. Receiving ones were: Bill Pavlov, Eric LeVasseur, Colleen Hugo, Patty Sharrow, Gigi Fenton, Peggy Davis, Jolyn Grant, Vicki Bowden, Randy LeVasseur, and Patty Bora. The students who received ones at the Districts were eligible to go to the state competition. For solo performances, Eric and Randy LeVasseur, Colleen Hugo, and Patty Sharrow received ones.

Central Menis Choir is a chance for the guys to show their stuff. Formerly Varsity Men, the choir had to be changed to fit the current curriculum.

They are French, German and Spanish. Latin was dropped this year due to lack of interest and money. The classes use labs, projects and role playing in their selected language. The high light of the school year was Language Day at C.M.U. Students traveled to see how the college runs its language department. Another view of culture is presented to students through art. Many students jumped at the opportunity to take art. Students are now being molded into budding artists by the department. Activities in the classes range from painting with water colors to molding objects out of clay. Central is lucky to have such cultural training for its students. 41 Ik HF Peggy Spink lectures in Spanish to Mr. Pavlik's class.

Geography, History and Government are the main topics and each contributes greatly to a student's education. Geography classes are not required, but are taken by many students. Maps and charts are main fixtures in Geography classes. American History is a required class. A student must have one year of American History to graduate. Famous people and the dates of historic events are taught by the history teachers, American Government is required for one semester and offered only to Seniors. How the government and its various branches work are discussed in class. One of the class activities that always creates a stir is when Mr. Leslie's Psychology class goes to Hewitt field.

As a matter of fact so do all of the vocational classes, because it is only through attentiveness that students learn the skills of their trade. Students involved in the Vocational Department have an excellent opportunity to learn a trade. A job as a welder or iron worker is possible after taking welding, where students learn both oxy-acetylene and arc welding. Learning the basic operation, of gas engines in Small Engine Repair and Auto Mechanics could result in a job involving garage work. Woodshop teaches identification, joining and finishing of different woods. This provides students with basic knowledge of woodworking machines which would be helpful in furniture repair, carpentry, architecture and home trim construction. Other classes such as Machine Shop, Blueprint Reading, and Graphic Arts tend to push students towards a more prosperous future. lk Bk 41 lk In the Vocational Department many students are diligently at work.

Mrs. Purgraski runs a very interesting classroom. She allows her students to bring guests to the classroom fafter the students have been primed on how to ask questionsj. They inform the guest that the purpose of having him is to view his lifestyle and compare it to their own, so that they may better understand theirs. He is also given the right to pass on any question he may feel is too personal. Then, they fire when ready. Asking him an array of questions ranging from, How old are you? to Do you believe in pre-marital sex? the students get points toward their grades by asking questions. It is a very valuable experience to have a person, the best textbook of all, the living textbook, to sit in a circle and tell of his personal lifestyle. Another valuable learning experience is when the entire class is bussed to someone's home to interview their family and discover what life is like at a fellow student's home.

Starting and finishing at the Bay County Fair Grounds, a balmy spring day was in store for the faithful and fearless people who trudged and trodded the entire fifteen mile route at one in the afternoon of May 7th. Enduring the pain of sunburn and sore feet, the persistent participants were rewarded with the knowledge that through their efforts they contributed several thousands of dollars for the war against birth defects. During the procession each walker passed through official check points in order to validate their WALK card. When each participant had completed the fifteen mile route, he or she was required to show his or her stamped card to the sponsors that contributed the amount earned by pounding the pavement. The minimum pledge required from each sponsor was ten cents per mile. In order to be eligible for the Walk-a-Thon, students had to .- 4 'ii vom. .K fi . . Q ,r 1 !' ?:.: all in aw 1 19 .nh 'T 11 fill out the card available and mail it in before May 7th. In terms of accomplishment and generosity, Bay City Central was the largest contributor in aiding in the campaign against crippling birth defects and diseases. A total of 5116.18 was forthcoming from Central High School, the largest amount from any Bay County school. The fair grounds was the starting point of the walkathon in which approximately 550 people participated to raise funds for the March of Dimes. The Bay City Police Department led these walkers out of the fairgrounds with flashing lights as they began their long walk. Bay City Police serve as crossing guards to help walkers at busy intersections. Mr. Curtis and his daughter Judy stop at Central's check point during the walkathon and have their cards stamped, which is a requirement. Handy's Band clambered aboard a rickety old pickup truck and followed the walkers about, providing them with a rhythm to ease the pains. The group stays together as the afternoon heat and the long walk begins to tire many of the walkers. 9 1 Til if Adair, Aikens S Crrtes Crook, Cruce, Cullerg Cummi Curtis, helley E.
