WHA T'S SCHOOL SPIRIT? SCHOOL SPIRIT? What is school spirit that characterizes our halls of fame? Real school spirit means serving the school, willingly, doing what you are not required to do. There lies the spirit of good citizenship in the pro- gram of club and activity work at our school. The club ofhcers and the active committeemen are those who in later life will serve their churches, families, communities to make life more happy for all. The initiates and officers of Friendship Club form a triangle during the formal initiation, representing body, health, and mind. Page I05 . kill Strings, Reeds, Brass Blend in Finest Music IN MR. STODDENS three years at Cen- tral, he has brought light to the music de- partment. Our Band and Orchestra have risen to their peak both in size and musi- cianship. Our orchestra has increased in size this last semester. Mr. Stodden hopes there will be a large number of Orchestra stu- dents entering from various grade schools. There are three big concerts given for the student body and parents in which the Or- chestra plays. They usually last as long as one hour or one and a half hours. Be- sides giving concerts in school, the Or- chestra plays for various organizations outside of school. A string quintet went to North Manchester to give a concert to the mothers of the Manchester College students. The Orchestra practices daily fourth hour. Central is proud of her Orchestra.

OUR BAND, under the leadership of Mr. Elbert Stodden, has gone far in the musical world. The purpose of the Band is to increase school spirit and to teach the best in music. The Band plays at all of our football and basketball games. This year they won first place in the division marching contest at New Haven. This semester there are only seven seniors in the Band. For the first time this year, the Band took a Concert tour trip, March I9, to Bronson, Sturgis, and Battle Creek, Michigan. The highlight of the trip was playing for the Veterans' Hospital at Battle Creek. At home, the Band played in three concerts, for both the student body and the public. A dance band formed by several band students has made ap- pearances at dances and the Speech Vaudeville and has made a good name. Being at school at 7:30 a.m. is nothing unusual for the members of the Band. Their practice begins While some people are still sleeping.

Who's Best Citi- zen? Who's Blanket Man? These seniors have their names inscribed in the halls of fame, only with the help of the teachers, who, by virtue of training, experience, and talent. also deserve places on the roll of the famous. Pupils share with teachers adventures into new fields of learning. More important, the lessons not in books, the counseling, and the indi- vidual help from teachers add much to the high school experience. ln Chemistry class, Roy Bromelmeier, Bob Delhl, Jim Vice, Jack Guthrie and -lack Wilson are making distilled water.

It gives us an opportunity to meet great writers and to study their words of wisdom-words which blazed the trail of our civilization for our place in the roll of the ages. We are as sure as Lady Macbeth that: Naught's had, all's spent, Where our desire is got Without content. We agree with Carl Sandburg that Abra- ham Lincoln was at home in the clay of Indiana. We trudge the hills of Ken- tucky with Jesse Stuart and learn about the honesty, integrity, and forthrightness of his people. We tap out the rhythm of ballads and lyrics and walk with Gold- smith through The Deserted Village.

Back, back in time we go to ride the waves with Odysseus and hear him say: ul am a part of all that I have met. Oh, yes, and to this star-studded proces- sional we can add the pageantry of an English tournament. Look to your laurels, athletes, while we give our allegiance to lvanhoe on the field at Ashby. Finally, we stand before King Arthur as he grasps the hand of Sir Lancelot and asserts in absolute faith that: 'ilVlan's word is God in Man.

Each student is counseled indi- vidually as to the branch he wants to take, for which he is best suited, at the end of the sophomore year.

Those who enter the stenographic branch are taught mostly shorthand and typing for specific jobs. Clerical practice, business law, and other sub- jects pertain to office work. The dis- tributive education branch teaches behind-the-counter selling. The busi- ness department not only trains for business jobs, but also gives business information for general use.

Science acquaints one with the physical and biological world of which he is a part. The scientific at- titudes to be developed include open- mindedness, tolerance, cautious judg- ment, and a desire to learn. Many elect more science than one year. The following are science courses: Bi- ology, physical geography, meteor- ology, physical science, advanced bi- ology, physics, and chemistry.

At these scenes of action are manifested courage, planning, and origi- nality, resulting in a sense of achievement for those who serve. The Prom, the tournament pep session, the vaudeville, all are educational projects strengthening the personalities of those who take part. Colorful events keep in balance the school and they maintain the high morale of the student body. Taking care of their booth are Pat globes, Barbara Highlands, Ruth James, and Jerry Keener. Shaving the balloon is Jack Lehman. Shaving the balloon is only one of the many events at the Sophomore Carnival.

The queen was crowned by Lois Scheimann, the former prom queen. The crown bearer, carrying the beautiful crown, was Linda Sue Vervaline, Pat Skiles' niece. Judy had her first dance with Herb Nagel, junior Class President. The Cafeteria was gayly decorated with roses and silver moonlight. The at- tractive queen was seated in the center of a large beautiful pink rose, which indeed blended well with her lovely formal of white net. The night was en- chanting and all remained to dance to the music of Tom McComb and His Or- chestra until midnight.

SPORTS BRING FAME FOOTBALL, basketball, and track heroes stand out in our halls of fame, and deservedly so, after gruelling seasons of practice, hard-fought games, long trips. These young men do more than build morale at games, they set examples of winning over odds, of acceptingdefeat without rancor. We enjoy the ex- pert ball handling, dazzling plays, and fast action. Sports are a definite part of the high school life. ohn Flowers and South player jump for the opening tip in the game janu- ary 20 between South Side and Cen- tral Flowers got the ball and we pro- ceeded to win the game.

Central Catholic gave a hard-fought battle which ended in a scoreless tie. After dropping a game each to South Side and New Haven, the Tigers fought heartily to a 6-0 defeat by North Side. The Bengals continuing the downward spin, dropped two more games, and then showed their ability by defeating Decatur in the final game, 39-0. Maybe they weren't state cham- pions, but their fighting spirit always stands. This year marked the debut of Coach Wave- land Snider as head football coach.

It took time for the Bengals to get rolling along, and it also took extreme effort and furious ball playing to stop them. Yes, you can remember the days when Central just couIdn't click together, but other days they looked as though they just couIdn't be stopped. The City Series? It Wiggled out of the Tigers' tight hold in the same manner as it did last year. During the city play the Banetmen defeated every city team at least once. There were games where they were rated the under- dogs, but with tough playing, effort, and determi- nation they were the victors. During the turmoil of excitement and laughter the Bengals bowed out, but put up a hard fight for the Sectional title. They can boast the feat of having a I5-8 record. So there's one good Iesson taught - NEVER SAY DIE, TIGERS. RESERVE TEAM WINS MOST GAMES CENTRAL'S RESERVE squad ended their I953-54 season with a record of I5-3. This was an identical record wiih the Frosh. This record Iooked very good compared to last year's 8-7, The Snitzmen, ten sophomores, make CentraI's future varsity squad ex- perienced and ready.

CENTRAL PA YS TRIBUTE ALUMNI in good number have gained places in Central's halls of fame-some with names on cups, some with pictures in the swinging files near the auditorium. But names of all are registered in the memory of classmates and teachers and each leaves a part of himself be- hind. Many serve, and many are honored. To be a great alumnus, the proper step is to be a great pupil. Hats off to honored Centralites! These boys and girls are arranging the Howers for the War Memorial erected during World War ll to honor Central boys and teachers who served their country. Page 5 Juniors . .
