Never the less, the faculty main- tained a balance of the exuberance of the young and relatively untried teachers with the guidance of older and more experienced teachers while preparing stu- dents for sales jobs, college courses, bookkeeping posi- tions and skilled factory work. Subjects and the in: structors are found in the Academic Section Page 18 Extra curricular activities as old as Math Club, founded in 1913, and as new as D.E.C.A. (Distributive Educa- tion Clubs of America), established just this year, have given students an opportunity not only to attend but also serve their school. Student spirit, service and support groups, excluding athletic teams are pictured in the Organization Section Page 42 Almost since its establishment, Fort Wayne Central and great basketball have synonymous. Football and track and field events also have a glowing history at Central. Wrestling and Tennis have been included in the comprehensive sports program. This spring golf has been added to the school ' s athletic endeavors as layed out in the Sports Section Page 72 For the first time in the school ' s history, no freshman are among the students walking through the halls, working in the classrooms or joining the various acti- vities and teams. This year only three classes, those of 68, 69 and 70 make up the Central Tigers. These seniors, juniors and sophomores are found in the Album Section Page 94 These four ingredients, each a complex mixture of its own special parts, have been combined and blended together to make Central High School, 1967-68 ? j 14S7111 Contral is. first of all pQOph.

Highlighting all social activitiQS is tho annual Junior Prom. 10 One of the biggest events for the Class of 1968 was their Junior Prom, Polynesian Sunset. The setting was a tropical atmosphere as the cafeteria was converted to resemble an island paradise. At 10:30 p.m., the court and queen were introduced as they entered the room through the center doorway. All members of the court entered first, followed by the crown bearer, and the queen. The queen ' s court included Sharon Black, Jeanetta Brownlee, Paulette Clark, Cindy Patterson, Mildred Rey- nolds, Elaine Rizzo, Linda Tharp, Joyce White, and Vicky York. Penny Ferguson entered the tropical atmos- phere and was crowned Queen by Phil Pearson, presi- dent of the class of 1967. After the coronation, she led the next dance with the Junior Class President, Oscar Dowdell. After starting the queen ' s dance. Penny was joined by her escort and other couples attending the dance. During the grand march, the girl s attending the dance received their dance programs. At midnight, everyone left for the After Prom Party at the Hobby Ranch House. Mrs. Natalie Hewes and Mr. George Surber, sponsors of the Class of 1968, supervised the planning and decorating for the prom. •1 ' ? Alter being crowned Queen of the 1967 Junior Prom, Penny Ferguson reigns over the prom from her throne of pinl papier-mache molded into a large sea shell and draped with pink netting. 1967 Junior Prom queen and court included Jenetta Brownlee, Cindy Patterson, Linda Tharp, Mildred Reynolds, Vicky York, Queen Penny Ferguson, Loretta Jones, Elaine Rizzo, Sharon Black, Paulette Clark, and Kristine Wall, crown bearer. The theme of the prom, Polynesian Sunset, was carried out with a large sea shell throne, a setting sun, palm trees, and fish nets. iQ::rhi ' ' ' - ' ' ■ ' ■ ' CQntral is primarily sfudiQQ.

From general math to analytic geometry, students have learned why mathematics is important and how it will help them in their daily lives. Through science, students are able to keep up with new discoveries and acquaint themselves with science. Also, students are able to understand a little of the mystery that surrounds him concerning himself, earth, and the universe. For the first time at Central, zoology is offered to the students. Other subjects in science are physics, chem- istry, physical geography, botany, and biology. Math teachers are Miss Leona Plumanns, head of the department; Mr. Russel Rowe; and Mr. Robert Dornte. Science teachers are Mr. Richard Levy, head of the department; Mr. Bernard Richardville; and Mr. John McCory. Robert Dornte Richard Levy John McCory Leona Plumanns Bernard Richardville Russell Rowe Zoology students believed the only way to get to know the different types of animals was to dissect them and see what made them breathe. These students were in the process of dissecting a fish. 20 Illustrating a problem is orie way students help their fellow class- mates to understand the problem. Pete Lytle and Peggy Wallace explain a problem in analytic geometry. Showing their classmates how to work a problem, these students write the problem on the board in general math. Shirlene Davis and Alfred Edwards work out the answer to the equation. Examining a human skeleton, these biology students get a belter idea of what people are made if. After a thorough examination the three students decided against their planned crash diets.

The department at Central that stands out by itself unique is the English Department. English is the foun- dation to other fields and subjects. In order to com- municate with others, one must have good usage of English grammar in both writing and speaking. Through books, English is learning what one doesn ' t know. Also, English helps one to mature and discover the answers to one ' s questions. All this is provided here to all students. Another must are the reading classes which all students are required to attend for nine weeks. In the weeks, students use reading machines, vocabulary workbooks, and comprehension workbooks. The English Department is headed by Miss Catherine Jackson, and English teachers are Mrs. Irene Rahmer, Mrs. Madeline Thompson, Miss Pamela Perrigo, Mr. F. Wayne Brown, Mr. James McFadden, Mr. Delmar Proc- tor, Mr. Thomas Ollenburg, Mr. Dan Howe, and Mr. Kenneth Crague, librarian. At left English teacher, Mr. Dan Howe, checks over several students ' themes with them. Pictured below are students study- ing in the control reading booths, in the development reading laboratory. 23 Foroign LanguagQ Qtudonts usq machinQS Vera Baumgartner John Baughman Vera Baumgartner— Came in 1950; teaches Latin and English; BA Wheaton College; MA Indiana University; attended Winona Lake School of Theology. John Baughman — Came in 1954; teaches French and Spanish; attended Purdue University and Ball State; AB Indiana University. Hablo espanol. I speak Spanish. This is what Spanish students can tell people after finishing two years of Spanish. Students at Central learn that the study of foreign languages develops perseverance and exactness in daily habits which make for better living. Nearly all colleges require two years of a foreign language for entrance. Foreign languages are not only useful for world travelers, but they give students in- sight into other people ' s way of life and their customs through the study of their everyday speech and the reading of their literature. In a world where an understanding of others ' back- grounds and ideas is becoming increasingly important, the foreign language student is becoming prepared to do his part. Latest equipment is used in the foreign language classes such as the reading machines. Spanish, Latin, and French are offered. Recording their prepared lessons, these French linguists, make use of the language laboratory in Mr. John Baughman ' s room. Gail Rice, with the mike, recites her lessons as Jackie Pearson, Carol Ware, and Bob Foote await their turn. 24 frpsss a Translating Latin into English comes easy for these second year Latin students. After having the experience in first year Latin the young linguists have li ttle trouble in quickly translating the language. 25 Variod coursQS covorod in social studios When one thinks of social studies, one automatically thinks of history. History not only teaches students about the past but also the present, and it may in some instances predict the future. In history, students learn of the civilization and culture of men, and the achievement of men on earth. However, social studies is not all history, it too is government, economics, and sociology. In government, students understand how the government operates. In economics, students understand economic situations of the country and the world and how it will affect them. In sociology, students understand man in rela- tionship with others. The second largest department in Central, the social studies department is headed by Mr. Clifford Richards. Other social studies teachers include Mr. Robert Dille, Mr. Howard Schneider, Mr. Warren Eviston, and Mr. Kenneth Ormerod. Robert Dille Warren Eviston Kenneth Ormerod Clifford Richards Howard Schneider Pointing out one ot ttie major cities in the Soviet Union, U.S. History student teacher Mr. Beck helps the history students to understand the Norwegian Campaign. 26 Geography students find mountain ranges on the globe and com- pare them to a scale model indicating the height of dilferent mountains. In above picture, students of Mr. Ormerod ' s World History class works out answers to chapter questions as part of their regular assignments. Below are seniors Zondra Chapman, Carol Chester, Willie Starks, and Alan Paul, members of a sociology discussion panel. Robert Dille— Came in 1957; teaches U. S.

In Distributive Education, stu- dents spend three hours in school studying business subjects and other required subjects, then, the students go and work for their selected firm under the guidance of the Distributive Education instructor, Mr. Thomas Lowenhar. Central is one of the three schools in the Fort Wayne School system in which the course is of- fered. Girls who plan to be secretaries and any student who seeks any form of business as an occupation can find assistance through Central ' s fine business courses. One does not necessarily have to enter a business field to make good use of business training, for many of the courses are helpful in everyday life. As our world is be- coming more modern, more emphasis is being placed on the business aspects of the country. Mr. Robert Dellinger is head of the department with Mr. Buzz Doerffler, Miss Georgia Heal, and Mr. Barrie Peterson assisting him. Demonstrating a flat bed press for printing signs are members of the Distributive Education class, one of the new classes in the business department. Seniors Dons Jordan, and Tim Horstmeyer are making signs for their class room displays.

Shorthand students often took dictations from the dictaphone machines in Miss Heal ' s room. Denise Steward, and Velma John- son are writing the dictation down in shorthand. 29 Industrial Arts offors training coursQS Handling tools is an art for the skilled shop boys. They learn much in the field of automation by utilizing the shop laboratories and classes which are here to give them the best in mechanical education. Modern shop laboratories with the latest up-to-date equipments and skilled and educated instructors train these boys with all the mechanical background needed. The vari- ous phases of the industrial arts courses are auto, wood working, machine, welding, electricity, and drafting. Central has the largest complete field of Industrial Arts of any high school in the Fort Wayne area. The boys get a touch of what the work will be like when they graduate and move into advanced fields, and thus will be a great benefit to them. The faculty of the Industrial Arts Department in- cludes Mr. Dwight Alvis, Mr. Clifford O ' Brien, Mr, Rich- ard Rian, Mr. Kenneth Yager, Mr. George Suber, and Mr. Marvin Todd, department head. As part of their vocational training these students operate a metal lathe in machine shop. Dwight Alvis Clifford O ' Brien Richard Rian George Surber Marvin Todd Kenneth Yager With the assistance uf i LCj. ' tools, and new drafting tables, the drafting students are able to draw more concise plans and blue- prints. Measuring the distance between the legs of his almost completed table in wood shop, senior Curly Johnson is perfecting the wood working skills he learned in class.

Our modern housewife has to be a nurse, chef, bookkeeper, grocer, seamstress, and maid. How to live at home is always in consideration, and our school helps to meet this prob- lem. Because Central ' s girls will spend most of their lives in the home, some of the school day for the home economics student is devoted to homemaking. Some of the phases of the home economics course are child care, family relations, home management, sewing, and food preparation. Also, sewing machines, a modern, up-to-date kitchen, and the very best litera- ture are employed to give the very best possible home economics education. This course helps pupils in per- sonal growth and development. This department con- tributes to society a healthier, happier, and more re- sponsible individual. Also, it contributes to the ob- j ectives of all education through the problems primarily concerned with the home and family livmg. Natalie Hewes— Came in 1964; teaches family living, sewing, foods; senior class sponsor; Kitten sponsor; BS Purdue University. Mary Suzanne Ledger — Came in 1967; teaches foods; BS Purdue University.

Lenna Arnold Physical Education Teacher The purpose of physical education is to encourage teenagers to practice sportsmanship, to learn to work together as a team, and to keep themselves physically fit and strong. Central ' s physical education instructors urge them to do work toward these goals. Boys and girls learn sportsmanship in the many games played in class. Girls learn the fundamentals of volleyball, tennis, softball, and girls ' basketball. They then apply the skills by participating in the games. Boys play basketball, baseball, and volleyball to build sportsmanship. In these team sports, the high school- ers also learn to work together and to share team re- sponsibility. Boys keep physically fit when they are enrolled in physical education. Each day the period starts with a full round of calisthenics. Jumping jacks, sit-ups, pull- ups, push-ups, and scissors all are familiar terms. In the spring, boys and girls condition their bodies with daily competition on the outdoor track. As one of the many activities ot ttie boys gym classes, Mr. Dornle has his gym class engaged in a game of volleyball. Harold Hicks tips the ball over the net displaying his skill of volleyball. 34 149711 knew I could do It, says sophomore Roy Kirk, as he practices low hurdling in gym class.

Carolyn Wadlington— Came in I960: Head of Art Depart- ment: BA and MA St. Francis College. Sketching, ceramics, lettering, poster-making, figure fashion, and interior decorating are five fields in which the Art Department specializes. Many pupils have made their careers in teaching art, gift wrapping, advertise- ment, exterior decoration, and interior decoration after majoring in art in high school. Our artists have en- livened Central with their art work. One bulletin board IS especially reserved for the art classes ' creative works. The best equipment aids our pupils in their work. These future artists are now attending classes which help them stimulate their abilities by participating in creative activities offered by the various classes. They learn all forms of art and decoration as well as how to apply materials, technique, and different tools of their profession. Art students do not only work with their hands but also have tests over the history and theory of art. Sketching designs on pads in first year art is required before malting full scale pictures. Ann Miller, Don Gross, and Pam Ruthsatz are in final stages before reproducing their design. Advanced art students often helped out other organizations in decoration for their projects. Jennifer t urray. Carl Griffin, and Janice McGee prepare the letters for the Student Souncil Talent Show. 36 Band, choir studonts Qxpand fahnts An appreciation and understanding of music was shown when the band and choir had their concerts and participated in special school events. A note of cheer was put into the hearts of basketball, football, and concert audiences this year by Central ' s band. The band furnished music for the half-time show and parades. The Choir, like the band, emphasized leadership, co- operation, ability, and enjoyment as regards to music. The choir in showing their appreciation of music per- formed both inside and outside of the school. The choir is divided into smaller groups such as the Swing Choir, Harmonaires, Harmonettes, and Training Choir. The band and choir combined for three night con- certs during the school year for the student body, in the fall and spring. Mr. William Wetzel is the director of the choir and Mr. David Marr of the band. fjW few f A.

Apples for teachers, flowers for custodians, groceries for needy families, and a variety show for students have been some of the projects planned by the Student Council this year. During American Education Week, council members placed an apple in each teachers mail box to show student appreciation of the teacher ' s concern for pupils. As part of Courtesy Week, the council presented each custodian with a carnation and the group with an award plaque in recognition of the outstanding cleaning job the janitors do for the school. In addition to selling school sweatshirts, council members served as the planning committee for the spring talent show. Besides working on specific projects, Student Coun- cil members encouraged students to participate in school affairs, to practice the ideals and techniques of democracy, to foster a spirit of co-operation between student and faculty and to participate effectively in making decision by which all students will be affected. Under the guidance of Mr. Richard Horstmeyer, Dean of Boys, and Mrs. Patricia Martone, Dean of Girls, the council as officers have been Steve Price, president; Wynston Perry, vice-president; Norma White, secretary; Charles Green, sergeant at arms.

A part of the new distributive education classes in Distributive Education Clubs of Fort Wayne and Distri- the business courses, D.E.C.A. holds membership in butive Education Clubs of America. The group has been set up to develop future leaders in the marketing and distribution fields. In club meetings, vocational under- standing, civic consciousness, social intelligence and leadership development are discussed. In addition to participating in local, regional, state, and national contests where they demonstrated sales ability, D.E.C.A. members have held several candy sales and held a Christmas party for a children ' s home in the area. Senior officers were Karen Mabee, president; Sharon Black, vice-president; Mamie Chapman, secretary; and Roberta Butler, secretary-treasurer. Sponsor for the group is Mr. Thomas Lowenhar, distributive education teacher. 50 Speaking and speeches have been the concern of the Forum Club this year. Besides attending speech contests at other schools, club members participate in their own annual intra- mural speech contests. Categories in these contests in- clude humorous, dramatic, extemporaneous, oratory, original oratory, improptu, radio and poetry. The group also has taken a field trip to a local radio-television station. While the purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in various speech activities and give practice in de- veloping poise and clear, effective communication, the group also sponsored an all-school dance. This dance revived the tradition of selecting a football queen and her court. Mr. James McFadden has sponsored the group while Joyce White has served as president, Seno Brown as vice-president and Karen Teel as secretary.

It would be almost impossible for Central to function properly without the service workers grading papers, taking at- tendance, checking books in and out of the library, filing absence slips, serving at the different banquets, and running errands. Many teachers are relieved of grading papers and handling special problems by the service worker. There is no pay for these workers. They do receive points which apply to pins awarded at the end of the year. There are special parties during the year for the workers such as the Christmas party and a breakfast in the spring for the purpose of giving awards to those who have worked throughout the year and have earned enough points. The club has no special meeting time, but there are various meetings called throughout the year to discuss different jobs, and different topics. There is no special project or officers of the club. The service workers are mainly concerned with being efficient in their job and services to the teachers and to the school. The sponsors of Service Club are Mr. Kenneth Crague, the librarian; Mrs. Mary Watson, attendance clerk; and Mrs. Mary Allen, study hall clerk. Bottom Row: Carol Sue Waters.

At Christmas time members decorated a Christmas tree in the school cafeteria by making ornaments out of styrofoam balls and cut sheet metal. During basket- ball season, members filled the halls of Central with posters and banners and covered the floors with tiger tracks. During regular meetings, the group studied the current trends in art and planned their annual Valen- tines Day dance, called this year Heart and Soul.

Sophomore Craig Ellis is talking, as usual, but this time his talking is paying off. Craig Ellis was the advertising manager tor the Spotlight and the Caldron. Workors foil daily to publish nowspapQr and yoarbook One of the biggest events of the school year is Caldron distribution day. Each year students examine their own books and sign the books of their friends. Producing an accurate account of the year ' s events in the form of a yearbook is the job of the Caldron staff. To produce an informative newspaper as well as an entertaining one is the job of the Spotlight staff. They strive for quality and quantity in writing and complete coverage of school activities. For both publications, stories had to be written, typed, headlined, and sent to press. All this work meant time spent in preparation every day of the week. Dead- lines are extremely important to the editorial staff. The routine and informality of the work soon became a part of each publications worker. Charles Green, editor; Charles Imbody, business manager; and Thomas Mack; photographer are the very important people on the Spotlight staff. Due to the illness of Mr. Thomas Ollenburg, publications advisor, Mrs. Diane Passwater and Mrs. Rose Schoonover sub- stituted for him for the rest of the year. 56 Head photographer for the Spotlight and Caldron, Thomas Mack was caught by another camera as he took a picture of fvfr. Thomas Ollenburg, publications advisor. Spotlight editor Charles Green cuts out the masthead as feature- editor Cindy Patterson pastes-up the feature page of the paper. Sports editor of the Spotlight Ron Magsamen checks in the city paper to check his facts before he prepares his weekly column for the paper. Getting away from it all seems to be the news editors idea of relaxing after meeting all her deadlines. Junior Jackie Byrd, after putting in a hard week of work, sums it up by saying, ' ■that ' s Life. 57 Performing at one ol the tiome basketball games, junior twirler Annette Travis leaves the floor after presenting the flags before the start of game. The twirlers then left the gym to prepare for their halt time routine. Marching TigQrQttQs add to sports QVQnts Glittering batons, braid trimmed uniforms and a smart marching step have been brought to Central ' s home football and basketball games and pep sessions this year by the twirlers. In addition to working with the Color Guard in the presentation of the flag and the National Anthem at the beginning of the home games, the twirlers prepared special routines for half time. In the special pep ses- sions before the regional basketball tourney the twirlers were featured with each girl doing a short solo routine. Head Twirler for the year has been Norma White. Twirler officers have been Annette Travis president; Cloteal Walton, vice-president; and Judy Boothby, sec- retary-treasurer.

Band marchQs, plays to QntQiiain studonts Providing a year of music has been the mission of the band this year under the direction of IVlr. David IVIarr. Meeting daily as a class, members spend many hours in the band practice room and on the football practice field preparing games, a special Christmas concert and a concert in one of the local parks in the spring. Band parents hold a fish fry each fall and this year also sold key chains with Tiger pendants during the basketball sectional period to provide money for the new uniforms. A special part of the band has been a color guard to present the school, state, and national flags at the beginning of all home football and basketball games.

Choir members have appear- ances in school and outside the school. The choir was certainly a busy organization as they divided up into smaller groups including the Harmo- naires and Harmonettes to sing certain numbers. The choir practiced five days a week in preparation for the concerts they gave with the band, as well as for the performances they gave at the various holiday as- semblies. The music department has shown great ability and feeling in the concerts they have performed this year. Central will remember the choir and its per- formances. Mr. William Wetzel is Central ' s choir director. He trained the choir for the concerts and the state music contests. The choir officers who aided Mr. Wetzel were Richard Henderson, president; Gail Rice, vice-presi- dent; and Linda Turner, secretary.

Good Luck, was expressed in many different ways at the regional pep session. Tokens of good luck were presented to teams from the classes, teachers, and other city school representatives. Any boy who has earned his jacket in one or more competitive sports may be a member of Central ' s Let- termen ' s Club. This club is responsible for various activities throughout the school year. Among their many tasks they are responsible for the changing of the activities board on the front lawn. Soul Sit-in was the theme for their annual dance which featured The Grasshoppers and the Tics. The club functions under the supervision of Mr. Robert Dille, and the officers this year were Charles Van Pelt, president; Jon Smith, vice-president; Charles Imbody, secretary; and Charles Myatt, and Joe Timber- lake, sergeant-at-arms.

Wednesday night swims at the YWCA and after school bowling at local alleys occupied the time for GAA mem- bers along with such sports as volleyball, basketball, kinball, tumbling, softball, archery, table tennis, and badminton. Helping girls learn sportsmanship and fair play, the club ' s purpose is to also help them develop physically and mentally. Each spring the club holds an awards banquet where trophies are given to the teams which have earned them during the year. Letters, numerals, sweaters, and chevrons are also awarded and officers for the coming year are announced. Officers who have served during the year are Janet Kennedy, president; Gaylia Norman, vice-president; De- lane Hughes, secretary and Sue Taylor, point recorder.

Parents were invited to attend their children ' s classes at night for a few minutes so that they would have a better under- standing of Central ' s program. The P.T.A. had several city and county officers speak- ing at several meetings of the organization. At one of their meetings Mr. Paul Spuller, principal of Central High School, was given a life-time membership in the Parent-Teacher Association because he has been an active member for many years. This year ' s officers were Mrs. Robert A.

The Bengals defeated Concordia 62-54 in the championship game to claim the Sectional No. 2 crown. Central also established a new city record by win- ning the most consecutive City Series contests. Late in the 1%5 season North Side was the last team to defeat the Tigers and then the Blue racked up 26 straight City Series games. The 26th win came over South Side late in this year ' s campaign and Central Catholic ' s Irish ended the string with a 60-59 win on the last regular season game. The Irish were also the spoilers in the tourney as they ended the Tigers tour- ney hopes in the first afternoon game of the Regional with a 58-52 upset. This year ' s team was probably the most exciting team that coach Bob Dille has ever coached as some of the highlights featured a 68-67 win over a tall Mar- ion club at Marion. The Tigers won in the last 12 sec- onds on a 25-foot jumper by Charlie Reese. Late in the season the Tigers found themselves down by 13 points going into the final quarter at Tipton. Central, using its tenacious all-court press fought back and tied the game with one second remaining as Reese, in a jump ball situation, tipped the ball to Dick Lowery who put it in as the buzzer sounded. Central won in overtime 68-66 on Reese ' s jump shot with less than five seconds to go in the overtime. Indianapolis Crispus Attucks had the Tigers down by 17 points late in the third quarter (At Right) Although surrounded by three Concordia Cadets, Dick Lowery attempts a basket.

Central won the game which was the first of the sectional victories. and the Bengals pulled the game out in overtime by winning 77-75. In the semi-final round of the sectional Snider ' s Panthers had the Blue on the end of the ropes as they had a seven point lead with three minutes remaining. Central staged a dramatic comeback and won 70-67. The last two Central points came with about five min- utes after the game was over as Lowery was fouled at the buzzer and the officials had to get him out of the locker room to shoot his free throws as he was celebrating with his teammates. Central ' s other losses besides the two to CC were to Anderson, Huntington at Huntington, and Elkhart. For the third straight year the Tigers dominated the All-City Basketball squad by placing three men on it. Senior guards Charlie Reese and Harry Griffin along with center Dick Lowry represented the Tigers. Reese led the team in scoring with a 14.6 average and he was tied on the team with the most assists. His running mate Griffin had a 12.5 average and was tied with Reese in the assist column. Lowery had a 14.1 average and he hauled down over 320 rebounds, standing only 6 ' - 31 2 . Lowery and CC ' s center Tom Roehling were the only juniors on the squad of 12. Dan Howe and Kip Ormerod served as assistant coaches and Bob Dille was head coach. Charlie Imbody, Ron Magsamen, and Jim McDonnell were the student managers for the team while Jim Marquiss was the statistician and Charles VanPelt was his assistant.

White broke high jump records in the Hammond Indoor meet. North Side Relays, the Sectional, and in the Regional meet. He finished in fourth place at the state meet with a leap of 5 feet 6 inches although his best effort of the year was in a meet with Bishop Dwenger and Concordia where he cleared 6 ' 8 and just barely missed 6 ' 9 . Central placed sixth in the annual North Side Relays, Fifth at Goshen, and Fourth at Lime City. They were fifth in the Sectional and eleventh in the Regional. Many underclassmen featured the track team as freshman Harold Hicks operated the dashes for the Tigers and his best time was 10.1 and 22.4 in the 100 and 220. The Bengals also had a good mile relay team that ran a 3:28.5 in the North Side Relays consisting of Hicks, Charles VanPelt, Gene Brownlee, and Darryl Patterson. Eugene Devbrow leaped in the long jump with the best leap being over 22 feet. Mr. J. C. Butler and Mr. Barrie Peterson assisted coach Schneider as his assistant coaches and Frank Mosley was the team ' s student manager. Darryl Patterson crosses the linish line far ahead of his op- ponent. As a member of the relay team, he has helped to gain many points for Central ' s track team. Charles VanPelt.

Both positions were elected by the team members. The Tiger team lost its first seven outings with loses to city foes Elmhurst, South Side, and Snider. The other four loses were to county foes Bellmont, East Noble, Bluffton, and New Haven. The scores of the city meets were Elmhurst 50-15, South 40-17, and Snider 49-15. The team then came up with three victories in a row as they started by defeating Central Catholic 25-32, Bishop Dwenger 18-45, and Bishop Luers 25-29. With a slate of 3-7, the squad looked as though they would come out of their season slump when they met Con- cordia. The Cadets defeated the Blue 30-25.

Coach John McCory ' s team picked up a win over the Irish of Central Catholic for their only win of the year. The team finished with a slate of 1-10. The score of the winning match was 5-2. On May 9, the team was scheduled to play a match against the Bishop Luers Knights, but due to a con- flict in the schedule the meet was postponed until the 1968 season. The team played North Side, Huntington, Snider, Central Catholic, Lakeland, South Side, Elmhurst, Bluffton, Manchester, Warsaw, and Concordia.

They held up cards with the players names on them, help the cheerleaders out in a couple of cheers, and ran off the floor. The gir ls re-appeared at half-time for a half- time show, these girls were called the Tiger Kittens. This is the third year in which the Tiger Kittens have made their appearances at the basketball games. Any girl who wanted to be a Kitten had to try out in a similar way in which the cheerleaders were selected. The Kit- tens this year were Dianne Tharp, Dorothy Agnew, Joanne Shade, Shirlene Davis, Ore Jean Blunt, Debbie Cannaday, and Susanne Manulow. Miss Pamela Perrigo was this year ' s Tiger Kitten sponsor. The Kittens practiced weekly with their sponsor, and several times with the varsity and reserve cheerleaders. The Kittens wore black stockings and gloves with their slippers to compliment the tiger design suit. After half-time ttie Kittens take time out from tlieir performance to rest before their next routine. The Kittens were seen at all the home basketball games. W Looking ov er his new litter of Kit ' ens, Tiger mascot Frank Yancey, Jr., seems pleased with the Tiger Kittens chosen for the 1967-1968 basketball season. The Kittens are Dianne Tharp, Dorothy Agnew, Joanne Shade, Shirlene Davis, Ora Jean Blunt, Debbie Cannaday, and Susanne Manulow. 92 Competition striped uniforms were selected by the clieerleaders as their new basketball outfits this year. For home games the squad wore white uniforms with blue stripes down the sweater sleeves and trouser seams. Royal blue uniforms with white stripes diagon- ally across the sweater front and down the trouser side seams have been selected for away games. Pep sessions in which the cheerleaders wore football or basketball uniforms and the varsity team members wore short cheerleading skirts have been some of the spirit activities planned by the yell squad. Boosting the Tiger at home and away, the cheerleaders have taken advantage of the bus trips sponsored by various school organizations to bring Tiger Power to opponents play- ing fields and courts. Officers for the years have been Oscar Dowdell, varsity captain; Charles Green, publicity chairman; Jeanette Ambrose, assistant varsity captain; Diana Francis, wardrobe mistress; Crenda Hetherington, Re- serve captain; Frank Yancey, spirit mascot; and Wendy Sanders secretary.
