A little of this seed falls on rocky and barren soil, but for the most part it is willingly and eagerly received. The teachers endeavor not only to direct the thoughts and ideals of students into the right Channels but also to gain their confidence and friendship. The facultv are the sowers. 011. l l See you at the Met, Bernie. EDWARD D. ANDERSON Music GEORGE BOHNEN General Science Hobbies: Hunting and Fishing EDWARD BOHNHOFF U. S.

Today we are freshmen - with only four years of high school ahead of us. VVill we cver be as big as the seniors? Our class has organized and elected lim Bisehke our president. The freshman parties are wonderful, and everyone goes to the Teen Canteen. Gee, high school is fun. VVell. were not so new at this now, but there are still three years left of school. VVe have gotten a good start as a class by electing our president, Ioan Larson. The sophomore class sponsored a party to raise money for the best prom ever given at Central. tThat will have to wait till next year! VVe are being recognized lg' thelseniors, and we're beginning to think it isn't hopeless after all. And we have been mentioned in the entra ian! There is so much to do this vear we don't know where to begin! Officially our program began with thc Iunior Class Play, ulunior Miss, starring Iudy Iacobi and IoAnne Bridston. After Christmas vacation Bob Bierke was elected Prom Manager, and the theme, A'Symphony, was chosen. It certainly was a lot of work but the product was worth it. Finally, for the first time since 1928 Central won the state basketball tourna- ment. Several members of our class helped make the victory possible, and many, many more of us gave them our hearty support. VVhat a year! l9-17 already. It was just yesterday, it seems, that we were freshmen. The football team, co-captained by 'lonv llughes and lim Bischlce, won the state football tournament here. Our president, Pete Simonson, with the co-operation of the whole class sponsored the annual Christmas party, a big school event. And then in Nlarc the basketball team won the state title again! Commencement in May and the class of '47 is ready to make its mark in the world. Good luck, '48! .20- ALICE CAPE PETER SIMONSON Seniaa Jfanafz Slacfenii Listed Alphabetically 'Cexcept for valedictorian and salutatorianl LOUISE WELLS DUANE BROWN Valedictorian Salutatorian . :rs - -xi.: lg 1-A LANGFORD NELSON JOHN ROLZINSKI Q gn vi.

Student Council Student Council is the studentegoverning body of Central I-ligh school. lt is made up of an elected representative and an alternate from each home room. Candidates are required to have a C average in scholarship and no less than B in deportment. From these representatives a president. vice-president, and secretary-treasurer are elected by popular ballot. The council holds its meetings every two weeks to discuss issues pertaining to student life. Quite often. however, special meetings are called to decide on the more important points which arise between the regular meetings and which must be dealt with immediately, Officers serving during the first semester were president, Iames Bisehkeg vice-president, Peter Simonsong secretary-treasurer. Ioanne Larson. Presiding during the second semester were Carl Morken, president: Peter Snnonson. vice-president: Ioanne Larson, secretary-treasurer. The council this year took an active part in planning the homecoming festivities. Later on in the year the council sponsored a contest to get students to compose a new pep song and some new cheers. A. I-l. Evju, faculty advisor for the council, was appointed by Olton Hewitt, principal. Mr. Evju nmst approve all legislation passed by the council body. A report on this legislation is made by the representatives to their respective home rooms. Opinions and new ideas are then 4 exchanged between students and their repre- sentatives. The school is proud of the couneil's worthy 7 contributions toward making Central High a more democratic institution. 1 Officers: Pete Simonson, Jim Bischke, Carl I Morken, Joanne Larson. IPS?

Red Cross Central's Iunior Red Cross has done a fine job this year. From the upper and lower classmen of Cen- tral who liberally supported the Red Cross in its membership drive a total of 5124.42 was collected. The Iunior Red Cross has sponsored many activities this year, among them the bundle drive. During the three days in which the bundle drive was in operation, the containers placed in the home rooms were rapidly filled. The students of Central responded admirably to the cry for clothing for the destitute people across the seas. T e Red Cross assisted in the X-raying of both citizens and pupils of Grand Forks for tuberculosis. The purpose of the X-ray unit, which was run by the state as a nonprofit venture, was to examine the citi- zens of North Dakota, in order to catch the disease in its early stages and to recommend curative treat- ment before the disease progressed to a more serious stage. The art classes made Easter decorations and tray covers for hospitals, the ei hth grade homemaking class put in many hours making wash cloths and other articles useful in hospitals. The lunior Red Cross always is ready to assist the Red Cross, whether it is putting up posters, running errands, or any other task which has to be done. The or anization's oHicers this year are Pres- ident, Bill O'Crady, Vice President, lean Stein, Secretary, Bob Griswold, and Treasurer, Dick Koppenhaver. Under the supervision of Miss Iasper and Miss Cates these officers have done a commend- able job of guiding their organization through the school term.

Hall Patrol Commission Central Highs Hall Patrol Commission is the law-making body of the Hall Patrol. Its duties include: settling disputes which arise about existing rules, adding new laws and amending the existing onesg selecting a chief, whose duties include carrying out tthe laws legislated by the commission, removing, with the consent of the advisor, all insubordinate and inefheient commission oflieers, summoning before the commission and the advisor any students who do not cooperate with the hall patrol, considering all stu' dent complaints regarding the patrol, formulating rules regarding the patrol, receiving the reports of the hall patrol chief on progress and activities of patrol, instituting a junior organization to take over the hall patrol system two weeks before senior exemptions. The commissioners for the next term are selected by the retiring commission. As soon as the chairman and commissioners meet, they begin organizing the patrol for the new year. The commission may meet whenever the chairman designates, but regular meetings are held every two weeks. These meetings are open to the student body except when secret meetings are desired to determine policy. This system of student government, which has existed in Central for some time, is a privilege enjoyed by few other student bodies. lt was organized by, and has remained under the direction of V. E. Esson. The commission is an integral part of Central's svstem of student government. s 81 15 Dick Mason and Don Anderson.

Hall Patrol Since the class of 1933 organized a student operated hall patrol for the purpose of self-government, the organization has grown and developed until today it is an' indispensable and basic school organization. The street atrol is the branch of the patrol established to prevent students from crossing streets at places other tlian the intersection and to prevent riding bicycles on the sidewalk. Another extremely im- portant function of this group is to direct trailic at corners. The period patrol does its work effectively too. Its purpose is to enforce regulations- while classes are in progress. lt also sees to it that no one leaves the building between classes unless pro Jerly authorized. The noon patrol has the duty of supervising the students who eat lunch at the school. This body watches over the dining room and the study halls and prevents students without passes from entering the building too early. This year the patrol is under the direction of Chief Mervin Evensong the judge for this year is Lang- ford Nelson. The Hall Patrol, as well as the Hall Patrol Commission, is under the guidance of V.

Centralian For the fifth consecutive year the Centralian, newspaper of Central High School, captured All-American honors. To the casual eye, the newspaper is simply concerned with writing up the news, but the hard- working stati of the Centralian knows this to be far from the truth. This is the story of any Centralian issue. There are 180 column inches to be sold for advertisingg so ad chasers employ their best salesmanship on Grand Forks business men. Simultaneously news must be written in journalistic style. Six pages of newsprint must be filled in each issue. On press night one can see frantically scribbling cub reporters, rushing to meet the four o'clock deadline. The printer takes over from here temporarilyg but the work of the staff is by no means over. After the printer returns all printed material in the form of yard long alley sheets, the proof-readers must check each galley minutely or errors. Make-up editors must cut up Sie print into separate stories, and headline editors must plan heads to match. Making the dummy is like filling a scrapbook. Each item has its correct spot, and it is up to the page editor to place the news stories in a pattern interesting to the reader. The dummy must be checked and rechecked so that all errors may be cau ht. Those eye-catching headlines that tell the news so briefiy and simply, are written with care. The com- pleted dummy is then sent to the print shop where it is again set up and run off in page g Ag, sheets. These must be proofed accurately for the last time. It isn't easy to put out a paper like the Centralian, but under the guidance of Beulah Bomstead, adviser, it offers a field of practical experience for budding journalists.

Forx VVith an All-American record to maintain the senior journalism class began work early in September. Beulah Bomstead, Forx advisor, after three weeks of competitive journalism ability tryouts, appointed Duane Brown, editor, Peter Simonson, business manager, and Robert VVhitman, sports editor. The first important undertaking, that of merchant solicitation, was completed in October with a large percentage of Grand Forks businessmen patronizing the annual. The selection of the theme of the year- book was solved with the idea of Central High School in the center of the wheat-raising Red River Valley, helping to feed a starving world. An ivory cover with a wheat design embossed therein was chosen, and agricultural pictures were taken and assembled for division pages. Short story writin , poetic composition, instruction in yearbook journalism, and drill in the finer points of English and spelling consumed much of the remainder of the first semester. The actual work of writing the Forx began after Christmas vacation. VVith Ruth Kirby in charge of the administration section, Marcia Smith, the senior section, and Ann VValdon the division pages, the work progressed smoothly. Dean Barker, james Class, Bob Iagd, VVallace Selmanson, jack Stewart, and David V aaler were engaged to a considerable extent in different phases of photography. Russell Rohde served actively as the Forx student life photographer. There were last minute changes and revisions to be made, pictures to be taken, and countless other accumulated details to be disposed of be- fore the printing deadline. After this came the completion of the student sales, begun in the fall, with the redemption to buy paid in full in the spring. All this labor, directed at producing a '47 Fon: better than any other ever issued before, resulted in distributing the annual just on time.

Because of an incessant student demand for a science club, Miss Hazel Mchlaster, biology instructor, secured the information necessary for establishing one. At the first meeting Duane Brown was elected president, Virginia Thompson, vice president, Keith Flom, secretary: Iulius Adler, publicity chairmang and Gene Monson, treasurer. Don Oehler and Bruce Layman were appointed co-program chairmen. Iack Linfoot was elected librarian at a later meeting. The science club has the advantages of being afliliated with Science Service, a nation-wide non-profit organization, founded to popularize science. A number of books, magazines and pamphlets, and optical equipment form the nucleus of the group's expanding store of materials. The facilities of the science departments are also available to the club. To become a member an applicant must be genuinely interested in science, must have had at least one semester of a science other than general science and must submit a written statement professing his scientihc interests. fThe scope of the club includes all sciencesj A majority vote of the club is neces- sarv to admit new members. The science teachers of Central are invited to attend the club's bi-Weekly meetings. Grand Forks pro- fessional men provided several programs for the club. Each member is also expected to present at least one program before graduation. Although only a ew months old the Sioux Science Club has done much to foster and pro- mote student interest in science.

TrifY Tri-Y started its annual round of events with Open House on September 25. 245 girls, both old and new members, enjoyed an amusing skit which was a part of the program. President Rita Ballantine introduced the members of her cabinet and the heads of the committees. Highlights of the First regular meeting were the impressive recognition service and a skit by Ioanne Larson and Rita Ballantine onDays at Camp Brewster. At the Christmas meeting Tri-Y members brought gifts of money, which were used to buy gifts for children in welfare homes. An interesting program featured the Tri-Y trio, consisting of Sharon Vollmer, l'hyllis Kjerstad and hlayon Breza. This year, instead of the annual Sadie Hawkins party, Tri-Y sponsored the Homecoming dance, always a special event. The Green Leaf, Tri-Y's newspaper, is a part of Tri-Y that all the members look forward to. Edited by Marcia Lee Smith, it tells all the latest jokes, fashions, and always something about former members. At the November gathering Tri-Y's special guest was Cinderella, Mrs. Kenneth Vig, who told inter- esting experiences of her New York trip. ln March came the meeting everyone was waiting for- the joint Hi-Y, Tri-Y meeting. At that time everyone ave his viewpoint on the usual topic- The Idea?Date. On March Z9 the Tri-Y formal , I .. was held. Tri-Y girls, in colorful formals, and their dates danced to the music of the Kampus Kings. ln all things, business and social, Tri-Y girls have tried to hve up to their motto, 'I'o find and give the best.

Delta Hi-Y This year Delta Hi-Y completed an impressive schedule under the leadership of President Don Lind- gren, Vice-President Pete Sande, Treasurer Bob XVhitman, Secretary Don Tuttle and Advisor Carl Hagen. As in years gone by, most of the activities of Delta consisted of holding hob-nobs, aiding the school and Y.M.C.A. whenever possible, and doing anything in their power to spread the ideals of Hi-Y. This year an added honor was placed upon the Hi-Y clubs in Grand Forks, that of conducting the annual international Hi-Y conference. This is the second time in Delta's history that such an event has taken place in Grand Forks. The first conference was held in 1942 under the chairmanship of Bob Alph- son, who is now general advisor of all Hi-Y activities under the Grand Forks Y.M.C.A. Because of the work required to successfully conduct this conference, most other Hi-Y activities were curtailed after the second semester began. Since close cooperation of both clubs at Central and the new club in East Grand Forks was necessary, many joint meetings were held. This meant that some of the individuality of each club was sacrificed to gain cooperation. There has always been much rivalry between the clubs. This friendly competition has always been recognized as a good thing, for it stimulates interest in each club and helps to bring forth better work from each member.

Triangle HifY Under the leadership of President VVallace Selmanson, Vice-President Robert lagd, Treasurer Elliot Bond, Secretary Dean Barker, and Advisor XVilliani Pederson, Triangle Hi-Y, like its brother club, Delta, had a most valuable curriculum this vear. The international lli-Y conference' held here this year far outfshone all the other activities of Triangle. Sixty'-Eve delegates from Fargo-Moorhead, XVinnipeg, Brandon, Regina, and Sioux Lookout with their senior advisors attended. The main function of these annual conferences is to discuss Hi-Y activities of the preceding year and formulating plans for the year to conie. These delegates took part in four sep- arate discussion groups headed bv Rabbi Bcrkal, Reverend H. N. Dukes, Father Ioe Hylden, and Rev- erend L. E. Tallakson. Guest speakers at luncheons and dinners were Dean V. Breitwieser, Max Clowers, regional Hi-Y advisor, and Principal Olton Hewitt of Central High School. They explained to all delegates present just what Ili-Y is doing in the school and the respective connnunities. A panel discussion was held under the direction of Mr. A. L. Lincoln, professor at the University of North Dakota. Topic of this panel was Dates and Mates. A grand ball provided entertainment at the close of the final session. I 'E n if 'f Ofheers- Wm.

Projection Class 'lhis years projection class has done an excellent job and has had numerous opportunities to display itself. Besides running films for the benefit of Central's students they have also shoyvu educational and entertaining movies to various clubs and organizations. The class is under the direction of A. G. liiland and Vtayne Letieh who is this years head projcctionist. This year two new movie projectors have been added to the equipment, thus furnishing the class with occasions for more self-experience and demon- strations. 'l he projection class was organized over fifteen years ago and has done excellent work ever since. Students of the class are often allowed to handle the camera alone at school showings, providing valu- able experience which enables them to operate the machine out of school. 'l'he class is held for the first feyv weeks of the school session and thereafter one day a week until the student acquires sufficient skill in the handling and the care of the projector. Besides learning to understand and operate the machine, other subjects such as lens, sound and cleaning are included in the instruction. The course is partly extrafcurricular and offers one fourth credit for each year of work. The students have been engaged quite regularly more and more film departments have been asking for film service. Opportunities are offered any student who has graduated with this course. Wayne Letich shows Bob Argall and Harold Gangelhoff the intricacies of a movie projector. .S4. HDI ' 2' , x.g'- l W Left to right: Julius Adler, Velda Sheldon, Clyde Kobberdahl, Dewey Bushaw. Debate Under the direction of Carl Hagen, government and economics teacher and coach of the debate squads, Centrals debaters competed in one practice debate at Concordia College in Moorhead. Here Grand Forks met squads from Fargo, Iamestown and Moorhead. No decisions were handed down, how- ever, as the debates were for practice. Later the Grand Forks debate team headed south once again to compete in the annual Tri-State competition held at Concordia College in Moorhead. Fifty-six debate teams, representing twenty-eight schools from North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota, competed in this tournament. Grand Forks took part in nine contests, winning live of them. Because of lack of competition in or around Grand Forks, Central's squad found practice debates few and far between. In the future, however, Central hopes to travel to other schools and debate with other teams. Each year a national committee chooses a question which is debated throughout the country. The ques- tion which was debated this year was, Resolved: The Federal Government should provide a system of complete medical care for all citizens at public expense. Supporting aflirmative contentions this year were Devvev Bushaw and Iulius Adler, while on the negative were Velda Sheldon and Clyde Kobberdahl. The underlying objective of debating is to teach straight thinking and use of honest arguments. Julius Adler, Dewey Bushaw, Carl Hagen, Velda K Sheldon, Clyde Kobberdahl.

Early in the school year the band participated in three parades including the two gala homecoming parades and the traditional Memorial Day parade. On all three occasions the band in their colorful maroon and gray uniforms was led by the skillful baton twirling majorettes. An exceptional exhibition was presented to the crowd at the high school homecoming game during half time as the band escorted the homecoming queen on to the field. A Band Clinic held in conjunction with the State Teachers Convention at Fargo was attended by seven of the band's members. The clinic consisted of several rehearsals under the direction of Mark Hindsley, noted head of the woodwind department at the University of Illinois. The two day atiair was cliniaxed by a concert which was presented to the teachers and Fargoans at the North Dakota State Agricultural College. The band followed both the basketball and football teams to Fargo. The group furnished support for the basketball team during their tussels with the eastern division competition in the tour- nament held on March 67-8. During the base ketball season the band sponsored a Hob Nob which helped pay for the trip. oc' is S .X '54 w :UF '29 I -A Officers- Bernie Brown, Joyce Lester, Alan Warcup. .55.

One of these, composed entirely of Sophomores, provided program entertainment for Sophomore parties, and the other, a junior-Senior group, played at a Community Chest drive luncheon-broadcast and at the Teen Canteen. . The band added a tie to its long string of State Contest wins last spring, sharing the 1946 honors with Bismarck High School. In the solo division members of the band took four first places: a flute solo by joyce Lester, sousaphone solo by Herbert Hesketh, cornet solo by Don Paul, and clarinet solo by XVally Selmanson. r Gn April Z5 the Bemidji band presented El COnC6rt to the students of Central after which they were entertained by Central's band. The Central band made com lete the exchange with Bemidji on April 30. A concert was presented at the State Teachers College in tlie morning and an afternoon concert was later given in the High School. Afterwards a party was put on by the Bemidji High School Band and our band returned later the same evening by chartered bus. On April 18, 1947, the anmial Band concert was held. Featured soloists were joyce Lester, playing a piccolo solo, and Don Paul, a cornet solo. The band worked hard for this event and from comments made by citizens of the com- munity and students, their labors were not in vain. The band at a game in Memorial Stadium.

Crchestra The orchestra of Central High School has climaxed another year of activity. The director, Leo M. llaesle, guided, tutored, and polished the members into a Fine, well rounded, musical group. During the past year the orchestra was called upon on several occasions to render their services for school programs and for the entertainment of the public. Their first large program was the Christmas program in which the nielodious strains of Silent Night were carried beautifully by a group of violinists and a set of bells from the dimly lit stage. During the program a collection of traditional Christmas songs was also presented. Almost immediately after the Christmas concert, work began on the operetta Pirates of Penzance. This required long hours of diligent practicing with the chorus and the stars. The orchestra was praised for its hne work in assisting the chorus and for its part ill Hlklliillg the operetta 21 SUCCSSS. This year there was 3150 3 Small Orchestra within the larger orchestra. It consisted of seven members: Virginia Thompson, Elaine Tsouinpas, Betty Holt, IOyCC Lester, WVallace Selmanson, Don Paul, and Orville Eidein. The group played for luncheong and small affairs in the auditorium. Its last performance was the playing of Pomp and Circumstance in the graduation day program. if 1X 'Q' -2 Officers: Betty Holt, Phil Lathrop, Dori Paul. .580 Q . -.A - Left to right: Betty Holt, Virginia Rose, Audrey Kitchen, Jean Westin, Margaret Tracy, Bernard Brown, Orville Eidem, Darlene Abrahamson, Marilyn Severson, Don Achttien, Jane Dietrich. Qrchestra This year marked Leo XI. Haesles twenty-iiftli year at Central. He has brought many honors to the school by winning twenty state band contests, tying one and losing only one. The orchestras have also had their share of state contests. XVhen Mr. Haesle arrived at Central in l922, he organized, to quote Mr. Haesle, a bunch of jazz kids into a state contest winning band. The iirst band rehearsals were held in the Citi' Hall across the street from the school. Later they moved into the gym, and from there to the present location below the auditorium. Besides directing the high school band and orchestra, Mr. Haesle also conducts classes for promising instrumcntalists, and from these he builds up material for his future bands. He also has charge of the Grand Forks Municipal Band, the Elks' Band. and the Shriners' Band. Grand Forks owes much to Mr. Haesle for keeping the community's musical appreciation at a high level and also for being the inspira- tion of many brilliant musical careers.

After the concert they went up and down the school halls, presenting a variety of Christmas carols. The operetta presented by the Centralian Singers this year was the Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan. The acting and singing was superior by both the leads and the chorus. There were two performances, Friday and Saturday, March Zl and ZZ, each having a large audience. The Centralian Singers appeared in general assemblies throughout the year.

High School auditorium during the nation's Brotherhood week, and during the Christmas season the group sang for several of the city's businessmen's clubs. The singers this year were invited to Bemidji, Minnesota, to sing at the Bemidji State Teachers College. The seniors of the Centralian Chorus sang at baccalaureate exercises. Senior pins, black sixteenth notes, set in silver for the chorus and gold for the soloists, were given to seniors who had at least two years of chorus in Central High. Tea House of Sing Low by Daniel Protheroe was the operetta presented by the freshman chorus and was marvelously done. This group also sang a few carols for the student Christmas assembly. To con- clude the year the chorus took part in the Grand Forks annual spring festival. The South Ir. chorus was also present at the festival. The events which Central entered were freshman chorus, girls' sextet and girls' glee club. The sophomore chorus this year appeared with the Centralian Sin ers in the Christmas concert. This chorus also took part in the operetta Pirates of Penzance. The Sopgomore group also participated in student assemblies throughout the year.

'61, JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Dramatics Highlighting the dramatics for this year were two three-act productions: the Iunior Class Play, The Fighting Littles, and an all-school play, A Case of Springtime. The play production class is also a credit to Central High School because of its enterprising attitude and the fine entertainment contributed to school life. This group consisted of approximately twenty students under the direction of Miss Dorothy Zimmerman. Classwork consists of learning the fundamentals of good acting, make-up, production of plays, casting, and choosing the producing staff, which in turn all lead up to its actual use. Lights, camera, action is heard almost daily in play production class when the practicing and producing of plays are in full swing. Two one-act plays were presented by the class in assemblies to the student body. The Christmas Guest, a one-act English drama, added greatly to the true Christmas spirit. To the Lovely Margaret was given in the high school auditorium to a junior-senior assembly in early February. XVith tireless effort the class has aided the chorus by applying make-up and aiding in costume fitting for operatic resentations. This year has been a fine example of student interest in dramatics and the experience developed from it. The entire body at Central accepted the productions with great approval. I .

The stagehands consist of two representatives from each class plus one extra which brings the total up to a crew of nine. Their general duties are to provide a trained crew to set up and dismantle prop- erties used in productions in the high school auditorium and to be of service to anyone who is using the stage. The duties of the individual vary. The two representatives of the freshman class are held respon- sible for the cleaning of the orchestra pit, and when the performance is going on they watch the stage doors to prevent slamming or any other disturbing noises. The sophomores keep the stage clean, stow all the- gear that is not needed and open and close the auditorium. The juniors handle the curtain and learn how to make minor electrical repairs. The seniors operate the switch board. They try to keep the same boys on the staff through their entire high school years to have boys that have the necessary experience. The boys of the crew of '-16'-17 are eighth graders, Bob XVeir and lim Petersong freshman, lim Brag- ger, sophomores, Bill Arnesen, Lennes Graft and Envin Bock, juniors, Ted Atwood and Ken Acosta. The boys have well proven their ability to handle stage work. -i.-Q-ev! 4131-1-1.-, Erwin Bock, Jim Brogger, Bill Arneson. fi AXQ' PIRATES OF PENZANCE-Ersi night cast Lf -A8 A-aff Freshman Operetta- TEA HOUSE OF SING LOW . 64 . .JL 1515, 6 i' QQ PIRATES OF PENZANCE-second night cast 54 f-x lf 'x .JILL- ii., .....

O Majorettes One of the top entertainments at Central's basketball and football games is the iine display given by our drum majorettes. VVith their sparkling batons and striking outfits of maroon and gray 'they have exhibited their skill effectively before large stadium and gymnasium crowds. The group consists of five girls: Lois Earl, Mary Ann Hunt, Darlene Anderson, Kay C-lieden, and Myrna Lucke, who served as this year's head majorette. At special performances tive year old Kay Patter- son has joined the baton twirlers, giving first-class performances. Any junior or senior high student who desires to become skilled in baton twirling may join the major- ette corps and attend practices which are held two evenings a week. Myrna has given lessons to students interested in being majorettes. The majorettes have excellent opportunities for exhibitions at school activities and occasionally as entertainment for outside meetings and organizations. These high-stepping girls with twirling batons have played an important part in the support of our sport activities and the homecoming parade and its festivities. .J The Majorettes at the Homecoming Game. . . l 1 1 1 l l I 1 l l l l i i l i 1 i 4 1 l gi Cheerleaders, left to right: LaVonne Kleven, Elaine Tsoumpas, Don Purvis, Pat Griswold, Don E.

Cheerleaders With but one veteran, Ann Waldon, this year's Cheerleaders led Central's students in resounding displays of cheering and good sportsmanship. The groulp was composed' of Captain Ioanne Larson, Pat Griswold, Elaine Tsoumpas, Ann Waldoii, Myrna Luc 'e, Don Anderson, La Vonne Kleven and the new mascot, little Don Purvis. The enthusiasm of the student body was increased by attractive cheer forma- tions and acrobatic stunts, such as backbends, cartwheels and splits. A contest, sponsored by the stu- dent council to get more school yells, band and cheering combinations, and songs provided fresh material for the group. Their uniforms consisted of maroon and gray for the football season and red and white for basket- ball. These bright new uniforms were purchased by the cheerleaders themselves, who earned the sufli- cient funds by sponsoring hob-nobs after several games. At Fargo the Redskins' rooters cheered the players through the eastern division tournament in which Central captured the championship. Bismarc also witnessed the same school spirit as the state title was retained by Central's Hghting cagers. All in all, Central let everyone at the game know that the Redskins had the enthusiastic support of the student body. I in Ui Till The Cheerleaders breaking out at a football game.

XVhile the Kampus Kings played sweet and low, one hundred good-looking couples gaily danced the night away. Hearts, hearts, and more hearts added appropriate atmosphere for St. Valentines day and, most im- portant of all, carried out the theme, This Heart of llline. Red and white streamers transformed the gym into something out of this world, and the huge scalloped-edged heart in the doorway made the opti- mistic reveler feel that it would be impossible not to enjoy himself. Under the direction of Bill Pallasch, prom manager, the various committees performed their tasks efhciently and well. The ingenuity and imagination of the decorating committee added greatly to the enjoyment of the dance. Last, but not least, thanks to the whole junior class for their efforts in making the biggest event in Central a success. The Punch Stand Is Certainly Popular Left to right: Jeanne Stein, Rodger Lambie, Pete Simonson, Joan Larson, Lois Earl, Bob Nelson, Kenny White, Helen Day, Myrna Lucke and Jim Lium. More than 100 couples directed by Mr. Homer Dixon parade smartly in the grand march Something new has been added! The enterprising junior class, searching for something to distinguish their prom from the many others, decided that, since boys are prom managers and class presidents, there must be something of honor for a girl. The office of honorary prom manager was instituted and Barbara Brown was the Hrst girl chosen for this honor. Dancing started the festivities at 8:30 and at 9 o'clock the grand march was begun. As is the custom, one line was led by the prom manager, Bill Pallasch, and the other by the senior president, Peter Sinion- son. They were followed by other junior and senior class officers with their partners. NVith clock-like precision the students carried out the march under the able direction of Mr. Homer Dixon. Students and spectators concluded that it was one of the best proms ever put on by any junior class in Central. Dancing continued for an hour and then it was time for the program. without which no party is com- plete. Marian Stjern sang the theme song, This Heart of Mine, and several other numbers were pre- sented by the Tri-Delta trio. XVhen the dance ended at ll:3O, everyone felt it was too short, but for seniors there was an extra air of sadness, for it was their last high school prom. The l9-F7 Forx pays tribute to the class of '43 for putting on one of the best proms that Central High has known. Marian Stjern and Jim Bisehke keep on dancing while Della Swenson, Jerry Rossow, Lela Thor- grimsen, Don Anderson, Marlow Bjerke and Joan Larson chat. .6Q. .av ,A LIKE GRANDMA ONLY MORE SEW Barbara Lee, Dorene Gratz BACON AND EGGS COMIN' UP ' Tony Hughes, Don Lindgren, Ron Anderson, Dave Vaaler IF IT'S DEAD OR ALIVE BRING IT TO US , Don Oehler, Keith Flom, Jim Larson, Rodney Kvamme Q 70- 2 , I , wx as .

Athletic Board The Athletic Board of Central High School takes an essential part in the school's sports pro gram. The members decide whether to drop a sport or add a new one The board also decides which athletes are worthy of receiving a letter in a particular sport. The citizenship, sportsmanship and scholastic average of each honor candidate is investigated. The athletic manager is the only student serving on this board of control. He is elected by the senior high school each year. This year Dewey Bushaw was elected to the post. His duties include keeping oflicial athletic records and handling the financial business of all the football and basketball games. Serving on the board for 194647 were Ed Bohnhoil, chairman, VV. V.

Football Game Summary CROOKSTON -In the first scheduled game of the '46 season the Redskins ripped the Crook- ston Bucs Z6 to 0 by means of a devastating land and aerial attack. Hallada and Bischke counted twice while Wfilliams plunged forty-seven yards for another. This was due mainly to the stellar play of Central's rugged line. THIEF RIVER FALLS - Avenging a '45 sea- son defeat, the Redskins pounded out a 6 to 2 win over the Prowlers in the drizzling rain. Be- cause of an early game injury of regular center Louis King and many fumbles, the Central ma- chine bog ed down after scoring quickly in the first perioi of successes. Q ST. IAMES-After much pre-game skepticism, BohnhoFf's men massacred their home town rivals from the Academy. Scoring both by land and air attack, the Centralites left no doubt of their growing power, by a 40 to 6 win. The line and acks worked very well as a unit. FARGO - The Redskin machine methodically rolled over Fargo High's mighty Mid ets by trouncing them in a snowflake atmosphere 19 to 0. The offensive play of Bischke and the defen- sive game of the line and quarterback, Its Wil- liams, was acclaimed. GRAFTON-Redskins overcame the Spoilers in a runaway grid clash 39 to 6. In the early Bonnie, who was been a friend to everyone at Central for 19 years, again showed his abilities through his boys on the football team. After many battles with opposing teams we came out on top with the l946 state championship. Bonnie a so has plans for a spring football squad. In addition to coaching he teaches United States history during school hours and has managed the Riverside swim- ming pool for the two previous summers. We owe thanks to Bonnie for his record . -Q rr -an-.-1-1 -.

The big Grafton line fought fiercely, but the Central Redskins outcharged them until the final gun. EAST GRAND FORKS-The iron men from the eastern portion of this metropolis gave the mighty Redskins a scare by leading at half time 13 to 6, but they could not stand the intense pounding of Central's brute power and fell at the final whistle 34 to 13. DEVILS LAKE -By trouncing the Satans in a sunny homecoming tilt 32 to 0, the Bohnhof- fians clinched two titles, North Valley Confer- ence champs and North Dakota Eastern sectional champs. This tilt was marked by the play of Carl Morken, who tallied twice, and the work of the Redskins' staunch forward wall. MANDAN - The game to decide the state football championship was played in Memorial stadium here in Grand Forks. The Redskins again showed a diversified running and passing attack to clinch the title 12 to O. First blood was drawn on a pass from Bischke to Simonson and again on a quick flip to Morken to account for the two scores. Besides keeping the champion teams of football and basketball in A-1 condition, Doc has handled his duties as instructor of golf, tennis and frosh basketball successfully for several years. He has trained the boys for future matches and taught 'Q ...M ,Q them the correct fundamentals of ood playing. His golf teams have been excep- tionally successful, winning state championship for three consecutive years.

Football 1946 The Central Maroons' football team experienced a successful season winning seven and losing none of the games played. Aiming at two titles, the North Dakota State Class A and the newly formed North Valley Conference, the team came out with both top honors and praises from everyone. Coach Ed Bohnhoff with the help of Doc Winter molded the team. The boys from Central kept up the spirit which has made them famous. The building of character, mind, and body was put as much in the limelight as the making of winning teams. Pete Simonson and 'tIts XVilliams were honored by being given the end positions on the All State Team, Tony Hughes, rugged right guard, and lim Biscke, fleetfooted halfback, were again awarded posi- tions on the team. Tony and Iim, co-captains, established themselves among Central's great gridmen as they led their mates through a hard-fought campaign of conquests to the supreme title of state champions. The entire team was a collection of brilliant, heads-up stars. Not once in the season did they falter in their Grand March to Victory.

State Tournament Central High School's Redskins entered the 1947 state tournament at Bismarck by virtue of their splendid play in the Eastern Sectional Tournament at Fargo. Although Central entered the tourna- ment as defending champions of 1946, they were not given the role of favorites because of Bismarck High School's unbeaten record for the season. It was generally considered by impartial observers that any one of the four teams - Grand Forks, Bismarck, Wahpeton, and Williston - was a potential winner of the coveted championshi . The Redskins opened liostilities against the Williston Coyotes at 8 o'clock Friday evening and, before a pro-VVilliston crowd, dumped the highly regarded western team 47 to 34. The Grand Forks quintet jum ed to an early lead and were never headed. The second semi-final game found the Bismarck Demons battling with a tough Wahpeton five. The game was anybodyls until the Demons dumped in a field goal in the last twenty-iive seconds to squeeze into the finals by two points. The scene Saturday night in the World War Memorial Building was indescribable. The walls of the structure literally bulged with screaming fans. It was Grand Forks against Bismarck, and for the first three quarters the smooth eastern five enjoyed a ten point lead. It was in the final stage that the Demons showed the determination that had won 22 straight games for them. After five quick baskets the Demons led by one point. Grand Forks, always a cool quintet, pulled together and notched five more points to one field goal for the Demons and copped the title by two goints. In the consolation fracas Wahpeton downed Williston 5 to 47 in another iight to the finish. The state tournament of '47 was undoubtedly one of the best ever seen in the Northwest. .820 K1 J ,Y xg , 21 1 l ' 7 V' - 'Q I 1 O ' ., g Q 5 ' ',, 'S av' X.

Sophomore Basketball The basketball system set up in Central this year included a team especially for all sophomore boys interested in the game. In order to keep more boys playing during the year. two teams were organized, one under the direction of Bill Ordway and the other in the hands of Cordon Rittc. These teams had a complete schedule and showed signs of producing varsity material in years to come. lu the course of the season Reynolds fell by a score of 35 to ZS. Thompson was beaten liandily 36 to Zl, while Forest River and the Coodrich, Minnesota, team were checked by scores of 28 to Zl and 29 to 28, respectively. In the latter contest a Goodrich boy tossed in a bucket for the Central team and this proved to be the deciding difference. Central's sophomores lost three games during the season and twice at the hands of Buxton, North Dakota, which produced a respectable quintet this year. The other loss was suttered at the hands of Park Rivers B team. At the close of the fracas the board in that game read 25 to 29. The sophomore team, while not playing spectacularly well, showed promise. and play with a squad of this type should have given the boys moving up in Central valuable experience. Central Reynolds . .

Don and Paul have won every match as a team from 1944 to 1946. They are noted for being the best golfers Central has ever had up to date. The North Valley Conference was held in Grand Forks on May 11, 1946, with the following players from Central participating in the tournament: Paul Bridston, Don Fladland, Wayne Letich, Dave Vaaler, Don Purvis, Dick Purvis, lim Bischke and Bob VVhitman. Golf teams representing Grafton, Crookston, East Grand Forks, Thief River Falls and Grand Forks participated. In other matches played between schools such as Grafton and Crookston, the Central boys finished on top even while playing in snow flurries. Undoubtedly this golf record could not have been obtained without the fine leadership of Instructor W. V. Winter, who has guided teams in Central for many years. Concentration pays off.

Girls' Athletic Association The Girls' Athletic Association provides a desirable outlet for girls with athletic proclivities. Besides being enjoyable and diverting, participation in G.A.A. molds healthy minds and bodies and imparts ini- tiative and cooperation through the friendly competition of the various programs. Among the many games played are basketball, badminton, volley ball, kittenball and soccer. Teams which play throughout the season are chosen for each sport. As an added incentive to join and play well, chevrons and letters are awarded. To those participating in one sport a chevron is given, and to those who take part in three sports a letter is awarded. A girl who has won a letter may work toward earning points for a sweater. Sports alone do not constitute the whole of G.A.A. ln addition to their regular Tuesday and Thurs- day meetings the girls have a number of parties during the year. Thus G.A.A, not only contributes to the physical graceof its members but also helps develop their social charm. The officers of the organization - Shirley Grafsgard, president, Marjorie Newark, vice- president, and Marilyn Armstrong - are under the guidance of Mrs. A. S. Granger, advisor. x, 7 Q..
