SENIORS ARE Beginning with a musician we have Marian Wheeler, the girl with the big heart, the broad smile and the singing violin . . . Burnt cork can easily transform Clark Olmsted and Lester Schilling into blackfaces that will do credit to any minstrel show, band follies, amateur contest, or what have you? . . . 'k ir By way of contrast in their dark and fair loveliness are Celia Halpert and Ruth Hase- man who seem to be rushing their education by graduating a half year ahead of time . . . Dallas Roe was the diminutive basketball star who helped bring back the State Cham- pionship. 'lr ul' All for all the cheerleaders are pretty impor- tant people-what would cheering Central- ites have done without that trio of Bob Campbell, George Kirby, and Fritz de Gue- hery . . . Although dressing the same the likes and dislikes voiced in the News office by Ruth and Doris Faust-often seem radic- ally different, ir 'k We are reminded when seeing horses of Paul Wallace, not because of the similiarity between the two animals but because Paul was the first boy to wear saddle shoes in Central . . . One of l3O's industrious students to be proud of is Ruth Roskam who was ac- tive on many decorations committees . . . 'lr if What a boon Nellie Goldschmeding and Stella Manski have been to intramural ac- tivities and girls' athletics . . . Hearing one of the many navy tunes played constantly on the radio today brings back memories of Frank Ford, ye olde Sea Scout . . . When it comes to a gift of gab look for Van Cleve Morris, a student of 432 and a debater with most definitely Mumphfu, ir at' Nearly inseparable are those two dash men Bob Bullard and Wayne Ward , . . Ella PEOPLE . . . Logan and other well known swing singers have a rival in Norma Russell who partici- pated in the News Amateur contest and the Band Follies . . . President of his homeroom, the student council and the senior class is Ed Van Dyke, genial, red haired student of 424 . . . When it comes to golf the man of repute on Central's squad is Alex Olinsky. A tennis star, and a person of athletic abil- ity is versatile Bob Iones who takes part in everything from debate to homeroom ad- ministration . . . A girl with a swing is Ianice Holmes who displays much skill on the golf course . . . Another divot digger only of the opposite sex is Albert Kudzia who besides smacking the pill down the fairway does a bit of track work. if 'A' Oentralites in the distant future will remem- ber Ruth Williams and her all girl swing band . . . The musical department had two finds in Irene and Iulius Baker who also gained recognition in the l'trucking act in the Band Follies. 'A' 'A' One of the rabid followers of poona is Elnora Hawkes who skillfully manages the racquet in guest of the shuttlecock, Rise please is the phrase often heard coming from Kenneth Barrett's lips for he is one of the ushers who gallantly shows one to his seat in the auditorium . . . Year after year Shirley Miller pulled down the high marks . . . 'Too bad that 2lO was the only home- room that could claim her . . . One of the newer Centralites is Dean Lewis who hails from Colorado. ir 'A' Athletics give those two inseparable lads Don Kooi and George Bushouse a chance to show their stuff , . , Pat Donnelly, an attrac- tive blond from 424, is another industrious student, who is rushing her time of gradu- ation. 'A' ir SENIORS ARE PEOPLE . . . l-lere's someone who needs no introduction, Iohn Maartens. ln addition to his athletic skill in basketball, tootball, and baseball, he has held various executive positions . . . Frances Pikkaart has a long record of news- paper and girls' athletic work to her credit. Marion Cooper has been in many Chenery productions this year . . . Gne ot the mem- bers oi the trio that harmonizes with a local orchestra is Normagene Brooks. 'A' 'k The play l'Tommy gave Mary Frances Walter a chance to show her dramatic prowess . . . Central seems to have produced another Pons, Swarthout, or MacDonald in Ardith Gray who warbled at many times on auditorium programs . . . Another singer is Dick Amick who rendered Blossoms on Broadway and other popular songs in the Band Follies . . . Attractive Marie Penny served as a newshawk on the school paper. ir ir Donft pick any guarrels with Iohnny Watson. the tootball player, because it jest ain't done except in Golden Gloves tights . . . Norman Heywood wields a mean racquet tor the tennis team . . . Besides Auditorium homeroom, the band and orchestra will miss Paul Liddicoat, the musically inclined stu- dent who pulls down all A grades . . . Ruth Watson can make her writing ability pay, as was exhibited by her winning a theme con- test recently. 'A' ir Dark-haired Morden Schuur will probably still be seen 'lbatting around in that sky blue car of his . . . Betty lean Stilson, attrac- tive blond proved indispensable to Pep com- mittee tunctions . . . Lee Fenstermaker's trucking ability will be sorely missed at the dances . . . Trumpet playing de luxe was furnished by Betty Beryl Cromer, who was an active member ot the band . . . Prominent in girls' sports was Iean Albertson who also managed the debate team tor 432. 'A' 'k The decorations tor proms and other dances were only a portion ot the activities under the jurisdiction of Lenore Temple . . .

Sports in the form ot cross country and track with a side dish ot intramural athletics were the accomplish- ments oi Harold Wiessner . . . Tall, blond Larry Dawson went in tor all sports in a big way. ' V ik if Frances Runnells is another one ot those per- sons who does everything trom acting on courtesy committees to being representative in student council. The l-li-Y and Better Gov- ernment clubs made Iack Reynnells a rather clubby member ot 320. ir 'k Good leadership, a pleasing personality, and a wealth ot knowledge qualified good- looking Geraldine Hyet tor the editor oi the News '... Dorothy Groggel and Ruth Dykehouse were both earnest participants in girls' athletics . . . Glen Priester was not only a track star but he also ran on the cross country squad. 'A' 'lr lt takes more than lack Benny's ability to rival Eugene Beach's tiddle stroking . . . Dance committees and girl athletics are the activities participated in by Margaret Rubert . . . Stand by tor Sea Scout Tom Baden. that long, lanky horn blower in the band. 'A' if Members of 226 join hands in thanking Barbara Pond tor the well-planned musical programs in that homeroom . . . A striking auburn-haired girl is Blanche Duffield who scooped for the News and who was an active member ot the G. A. A ....

CENTRAL IN B Girl Reserves Those twin clubs, Silver Triangle and Cen- tral Y claim they had a successful year. Any- way those in attendance claim the high point of interest was the May morning breakfast held at the Y. W. C. A. Ma's and Pa's of the Central Y girls, however, consider that February was a lighter month because of their banquet-and don't forget those style shows. Hi-Y A visit to l.ansing's legislative bodies, a mothers' and fathers' banquet and a carni- val kept the Hi-Y boys busy because after all they had their regular meetings too. Pep Committee Pencilsl Pennantsl Pinsl Matinee dancesl Yes, it's that Pep Committee raising money and generally keeping good old Central spirit alive. The athletes and debaters were always refreshed following contests and everyone else had a grand time learning the new yells added by this committee. Speech Richard Evans, district extempore winner, Louis Graff, oratory's second place winner, and Kenneth Warren, declaimer made spots for themselves in the speech world . . , Varsity debaters Richard Evans, Louis Graff and VanCleve Morris journeyed down to the state elimination finals and succumbed to Muskegon in a two to one decision. Ques- tion: Resolved, That the Several States Shall Adopt a Unicameral System of Legislature. Student Council Headed by Ed Van Dyke the student council lined up hall guards, sponsored the activity ticket sale, decided to revamp courtesy ideas at Central and just generally made a strong bulwark for affairs of l937-38. Band and Orchestra Then there was that unforgettable Band Follies all done up in a l938 cover. The cover blew and they landed at the Uni- versity of Michigan festival. More honorsl Down to Elkhart to national competition went twelve band and orchestra members Home they came having placed the flute trio in first, the strina trio, second, and wood- wind trio, third division. Soloists Lynette Spath, flute, Robert Gibbs, tuba, and Robert Mickey, clarinet placed in second and third divisions. Glenn Morrison and Gordon Mac RIEF . .. Kenzie were official heads of the band dur- ing the first and second semester, respec- tively. Government Club Problems and developments in federal gov- ernment was the basis of the Government club's weekly meetings. G. A. A. Girl athletes made history for the school and had a G, A. A. recognition banquet as well as a peppy auditorium. Intramural tourneys moved right along under their organization. Red Cross Hospital kits, joke books, and a portfolio sent to Switzerland summarizes Red Cross club activities for the year aside from first aid instruction. Choral Groups lf the choral groups had only the production of The Count and the Co-Ed to place on its list of accomplishments they would still rank tops but the Music club featured local and city talent at its bi-monthly meetings and the Girls' and Boys' Glee clubs respond- ed to several calls for musical entertainment. Dramcxtics Eour dramatic offerings, Button Button, Seen But Not Heard, 'Torch Bearers and HBig Hearted Herbert featured many high school thespians and delighted Centralites as a whole. News Approximately l8OU members of Central re- ceived the Central High News in their lock- ers every week except those broken up by holidays, and a staff of over thirty members scribbled vigorously several hours a week to inform and entertain its readers. Several embryonic journalists who didn't graduate in fanuary stayed on for two semesters. Miss flelon Hornbeck, Delphian editor for l933 returned to aid in the Publications office. Quill and Scroll Long hours and facile pens brought honors to several News and Delphian writers. Hav- ina fulfilled the necessary preliminary re- quirements to become a member of Quill and Scroll, an international honorary society for student journalists, an unusually large number of the staff received membership awards in May, bringing the total member- ship for this year to nineteen.

RES------ lt was sometime along in the middle of the winter that someone whispered, Central has a great basketball team . The whisper mounted to a murmur as regional time drew near. With the regional championship safely stowed away, the murmur became a great tide of discussion. This discussion became louder and more heated as Central went through the first round and semi-finals of the state tourney with flying colors. On the historic evening of March 19, l938 in the spacious Grand Rapids Civic auditorium, a mighty shout arose as a gun barked ending the final battle with Saginaw Arthur Hill and signifying that Central's glorious Maroon Giants were in possession of the state Class A basketball championship. The Maroons of l937-38 were not the most polished aggregation ever to represent Central on the hardwood, they were not gem studded and gold plated, they were, in some instances, not even regarded as state title contenders. But they hadftwo things that made them great: Coach Gene Thomas gave them one, they had the other them- selves. Coach Thomas made his Maroons the strongest defensive ball team in the state. He has always made his teams sen- sitive to the importance of defense in basket- ball. But this year's team was his master- piece. The other quality that distinguished the Maroons was an indomitable will to win. lt is sometimes called Hfighting heart . Call it what you will, it was there in the Maroons this year. 151 Seldom have five players cooperated to- gether with a spirit of all for one and one for all as did this year's crew. And yet while playing with such a team spirit each one of the boys had characteristics that brought out his own individualism and en- deared himself to the followers of the team. Pinky , 'lLank , lohnny , Dal , and x'Gilly were the Five Musketeers of Cen- tral's basketball team. lnseparable, they Were seen together always. Iohnny Maartens was the self composed, friendly,ringleader. He knew his team mates' every mood. He found the opportune mo- ment for a wisecrack, a pep talk, or a bit of encouragement. He analyzed what was needed and then administered the remedy. lohn was captain in every sense of the word. When the team was going well, lohn drop- ped from the limelight, set up the offense, and fed the ball to his mates. When the gang seemed destined to fall apart, lohn came to the fore with a basket or two and once more the Maroons were in the game. Pairing at a forward berth with Maartens, was Dallas Dal Hoe. Dal had hot nights, bad nights, and average nights offensively but was always accounted for in the score- book with at least five points. Dal was the small man on the team, the lad who guard- ed the small man on the opposing team, the speedster, the cool, calm, ball hawk, always on the alert, always in the game. Bruce Warren at center was the teams clown, the leader of all boisterous esca- pades, and the greatest rooter a Central BASKETBALL team ever had. Pinky loved his team, and basketball, the team loved basketball and him and decorated him with the soubriguet of Pinky , At one guard was lack Lefty Reeves, the silent one of the team. Gne of the greatest defensive men ever turned out at the Maroon and White school, lack also pulled several games out of the fire with deadly long baskets. He bore the affectionate title of Lank which referred to his towering six feet three inch anatomy. Gerald l'Gilly Gilman who started the year at center but was transposed to a guard position was the team wit. On basketball trips or at times when one was needed, one of Gilly's witty remarks put everyone in stitches and relieved the pent-up emotion. Gerald was not outstanding for any one thing in basketball. He was simply the fifth man on the team without whom its strength was not complete. The team record during the regular season was good but not sensational. The Maroons were not an unbeaten ball club but won ll of l4 games. Central was unbeaten in the first five contests. Then Muskegons Big Reds surprised them and came up with a one point victory. On the following Friday night Grand Haven turned in a two point victory over the Maroons. From then on Cen- tral won every game except the last in which Benton Harbor defeated them. This last beating might have been a good thing for it relieved the pressure just before re- gional time. Central finished second in the Southwestern Michigan Conference al- though beating Holland, the champions, twice. At last in the regionals Central swept over Battle Creek 35 to 26 while Holland was dis- posing of Benton Harbor. Cn the final night of the tournament, Kalamazoo won from Holland's great team 3l-23 and prepared to go to the state tourney. On the first night of the state meet, Central bested Grand Rapids Union, an unbeaten ball team, with a great finish winning 39-3l. Gn the second night Central eliminated Sag- inaw Eastern 30-l5. On the final great night, playing for the championship, Central set up a l5-ll lead at halftime. Maartens hooked in basket after basket in the next period and the Maroons had a commanding advantage up to the last three minutes. Saginaw came from behind to within two points. Then a faulty Kalamazoo pass was intercepted and a basket for the opposition tied up the game with only a few seconds to go. Dallas Roe got the ball, set himself, and released a long shot that cut the netting and gave the Cen- tralites a 29-27 victory and the state cham- pionship.

CROSS Coach A. E. Stoddard's 1937 cross country team had a successful season, winning all dual meets. The squad was expected to take first place in the state meet at Ypsilanti but it was unsuccessful and had to be content with third position among the winners. The Stoddardmen opened the season by downing Niles 21 to 34 on October 2. On the next Week-end, lackson was conquered, 19 to 40. Lansing Eastern lost to the Maroons by the close count of 27 to 28.

Thomas' 1937 edition of the Maroon Giant football team was the greatest defensive and most colorful one that Central sent out on the gridiron in many years. lt won six games, tied one, and lost two during the season. Neil Berry, only a junior, was one of the best halfbacks that ever graced a Maroon line- up, He triple threated his way to nearly all of the touchdowns made, operating behind a stalwart forward wall that Coach Thomas rates as one of his best. From flank to flank it was composed of Bob Tones, left end, Bruce Pinky Warren, left tackle, Robert Schindler, left guard, lohn Red Watson, center, Gerald Gilman, right guard, Bill Howland, right tackle, lohn Maartens, right end. Captain Will McKinley played the right half- back position with Berry at left, lack Bockel- man at quarterback, and Hale Helmer at full back. Highlight of the year, although the Central- ites lost, was the battle with Muskegon's Big Reds. Berry led the visitors' attack while Rudy Kolenic headed the Big Reds. With the score deadlocked and seven seconds to go, Kolenic booted a field goal that bested the Thomasmen 16-13. The famous, even notorious, totem pole also returned to Kalamazoo in l937. Battle Creek lost the game and the historic trophy before a crowd of over 4,000 people, one of the largest to see a Central game since the dedication of Upjohn Field. The Maroons came out on top 12-0. Maroon K's were awarded to the follow- ing: Robert Bullard, Neil Berry, lack Bockel- man, lohn Cook, Reeves Comfort, Raymond Douglas, Frank Ford, Gerald Gilman, Hale Helmer, Bill Howland, Fred Hilliard, Bob Tones, Walter Kaechele, Edwin Llewellyn, loe Martin, lohn Maartens, Will McKinley, Bob Newland, Gerald Somers, Bob Schind- ler, Clair Soules, Francis Thompson, Art Wiessner, Wayne Ward, lohn Watson, and Bruce Warren. Managers letters were given to Weldon Downs and Art Austin. lohn Maartens was the only all-state selec- tion but several members of the team made other mythical elevens. Berry, Watson, Maartens, and Schindler were named to the Kalamazoo Gazette's all-city squad while Berry, Watson, Maartens and Tones were placed on the Southwestern Conference eleven after a poll of the coaches in the league.

As time went by, however, Zuidema made them into one of the finest reserve teams ever to represent the school. Only Muskegons yearlings could beat the Maroons. They defeated Muskegon Heights, Holland, Grand Haven, Three Rivers, and Battle Creek for a record of five victories and one loss.

Lester CPeteD Miller was the star of the squad this year. ln past years he had been used as a 440 man but this year was made over into a sprint competitor. He never failed to take at least one first place in a dual meet. He ran the 220, and l00 yard dashes and Was a member of the fast relay team.

A f Q RESERVE BASKETBALL Coach Cameron Murdoch's reserves of the l937-38 basketball team were regarded by Coach Gene Thomas as one of the greatest ever to represent the school. Although the team was successful in only eight of l2 starts they gave prospect of be- ing great material for next year's varsity. The extreme height of the yearlings Ithey averaged six feet three inches in heightl caused them to appear clumsy at times. They also lacked speed. But the best thing about them was their prospective varsity calibre. SCORES Dec. Central 20, lackson l6 Dec. Central l8 Holland l7 lan. Central 39 Muskegon Heights 27 Ian.

The girls go tor it. lt's too bad to have to set your own pins but Central's bowling alley insists. They will get in that little room that boasts only a ping pong table. This one didn't keep an eye on the camera man. The water was calling and she was on her way. Not jump the rope or anti-over, simply quoit tennis. The home plate is good it she only reaches it ahead of the ball. LS' SPO Niggff ,pf-af If 7 11' 5169 I fx, ff 43 N.,k Kg' Y E L L O W SLIP. Certilicate guaranteeing sale passage through corridors.
