,-.iii - --kr, - -- ,- Y ii 'i - Dlan Dances, Boost Morale Cn May l, the Tiger Hop, the dance honoring our State Champion team, was given with the theme being the mysterious atmosphere ot a rollicking lungle lubilee that gave the impression of a ceremonial dance in deepest, darkest Africa. The co- chairmen tor this event were lim Wall and Lois Putt. Another great event ot the year was the drafting ot a constitution tor the Booster Club. The chairman for this was Paul Prill and his assistants were lean Sauer, Lois Putt, Norman Doenges, Eileen Pliett, and the club chairman. The last event ot the year was the selecting of new members by the advisory council, Which consists of three seniors, loan Bruot, lean Sauer, and lim Wall, two juniors, Don Bute ler and Norman Doenges, and one soph- omore, Tom Burrell. To become a Booster, one must have proven by his Work in other clubs a Willing-- ness and a desire to Work and to accept any responsibility given him, no matter how large or how small. The Booster Club is by no means a social gathering Where friends meet to chat. lt is Work with a cap- ital We have no place tor slackers in Boosters. By keeping our requirements high We get the cream ot the crop. lt is a great day in the school life ot any Centralite when he has made Boosters.

Boosters By lim Wall 'WE ABE THE BGOSTEBSl Our purpose is to support the athletic program of the school. We boost the school morale and pep up the Central spirit to flaming heights. We handle the candy, coke, and ice cream concessions at the games. The Booster Club members make the novelties, such as shakers and streamers. Also We decorate the football fields and the basketball court for both ourselves and our opponents. We sponsor the Tiger Mixer, the Tiger l-lop, and the Valentine pep session. We have operated under a very defin- ite handicap this year because our capable adviser has been ill most of the year, Miss Phyllis Dellinger, the office secretary, has carried on admirably. We started our school year by electing a chairman, lim Wall, Who in turn appoint- 96 .,-.s,.-Wi. EF. ,Y-W,-,. . ed loan Bruot as secretary. Gloria Kieffer was placed in charge of the selling at the games. Her assistants Were Eileen Pliett, Paul Prill, Russell Meads, Leatrice lames, and lim Wall. Decorations were done by Pete Collias, Paul Prill, Don Butler, and Francis Bay. Our first social event came at the end of our glorious football campaign. lt was the Tiger Mixer. The decorations were sim- ple but effective. We covered the backdrop with a big V for Victory surrounded with the silhouettes of the football team. Delores Ziton was the general chairman for this af- fair. ln February We held the Valentine pep session, a frothy and lacy creation formed in the minds of lean Sauer and Lois Putt, the chairmen, and the decorations expert, Pete Collias,

We Like Concerts, Games, Pep Sessions, an By Patricia Exner and Bob Howard THE BAND, the orchestra, the music coun- cil - they are an irreplaceable part of Central. Under the direction of Mr. Gaston Bailhe, these musical organizations are ready to give their colorful aid to Central. Mr. Bailhe taps his stand, the orchestra is ready to play, and the forty members are on their way to another instructional prac- tice session. Almost immediately, Mr. Bail- he halts practice with this exclamation, l'Why didn't you people tune your instru- ments? And why haven't you tuned those tympanies? Of course, things run much more smoothly after the tuning matters are completed. All this practice has its purpose, for the orchestra gives one concert each month. Altogether, Centrals orchestra is the pride of the school when the girls are dressed in their blue skirts and white sweaters, and the boys are resplendent in their blue trousers and white shirtsg and their playing is even better than their looks. Even the orchestra cannot get along without student helpers to keep things in order. Mary Fowler holds the position of Band Bow one: Baumgart- ner, Behling, Mesing Merritt.

Practice and Plan The fifth period every day, except Wednesday, band members practice long and hard for playing at those football and basketball games, and the concerts given in the gym. Mr. Bailhe is always on hand when the band members find a difficult bit of music, or when some problem too big for the students to handle comes up and they need the guidance of an older, experienced leader. You may be sure he is always on the job to aid all the students. Back of these organizations is the group of students who consider and discuss the problems of the music department. This assembly is known as the Music Council. Students who make up this group are the most outstanding members in the depart- ment from the band, orchestra, and chorus. The purpose of this council is to give the members a chance to discuss the problems which arise, and to find ways of bettering the department. The present officers of the 'GH
