Then came traders to this region, built a trading post on the banks of the Mississippi, and from this beginning a city was born - Cape Girardeau, founded by Don Louis Lorirnier. Looking ahead to the future, he set aside a tract of land to be used one day as the site oi a school. , And so, what was at first a hunting ground, then a cow pasture, and later a cornfield finally became our Central High. lt grew quickly each year, adding more teachers and students and increasing its activities and opportunities. Through the pages oi this book the Girardot Staff proudly presents Central on Parade! fx ity tlechcafion What a parade of administrators, teachers, and students there has been through the years! These have been the spirit and heart of Central. To them and to those Who will join the long parade of the future We dedicate this Girardot with the hope that they will carry on the iaith, loyalty, and affection which the spirit of Central l-liqh has always inspired.

Those who have graduated must be given the credit and honor for the opportunities and the traditions which we enjoy today at Central High School. The future of Central largely lies in the hands of you who are now attending. lt would, indeed, be most disloyal for you to fail in your efforts to add to this heritage for those to follow you. For the high ideals and the traditions which are yours today you have an obligation to contribute your part to make Central an even better school tomorrow, Let us not make the mistake of believing that as individ- uals our own personal record is unimportant. Not only iS your own record a vital part of your future life but it is vital in determining the destiny of Central High School in the days ahead. lt is my sincere hope that your contribution will be the very best that you can do. Then you can hold your head high and claim a part in the achievements of your school after you have graduated. Then ycu have done your part and we shall have every confidence that Central will carry on for those to follow you. You can always look back with pride on the school which you helped to make. frees SuperintendentofSchooQs. L I BOARD OF EDUC!-XTIGN Lett to right -- Charles W. Bauerle, H. A.

His per- sonal athletic record is exceptionally commendablep he lettered in both football and wrestling, his football record according him highest tribute at the University of Illinois. For three years Coach developed hard fighting teams respected by all opponents in the district. Upon return- ing from Steelton, Pennsylvania, after three years of coach- ing there, Coach picked up where he left off and has continued developing the finest football and basketball teams each season. A deep desire in every lad in Central for honesty, integrity, clean sportsmanship, and physical fitness has been a direct result of Mr. Muegge's influence in teaching here. MISS TOWSE, who has been girls' physical educa- tion director at Central since 1942, has through her tire- less efforts, created in the girls a desire for cooperation, good sportsmanship, physical improvement, and an inter- est in intramural sports. This year the girls participated in volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball, and individual sports, including ping-pong, bowling, and shuffleboard. Miss Towse was educated at William Woods College, Fulton, Missouri, at Southeast Missouri State College, ob- taining a B. S. degree, and at Columbia University, New York, where she received an M. A. COACH BEARD has readily become indispensable since joining the faculty of Central last September. An invaluable aid to Coach Muegge, it was a great part of Mr. Beard's influence that kept the teams of Central in championship class this season. Athletics have always been foremost in the mind of Mr. Beard, who lettered in football at Central as a quarterback, fullback, and half- back, in basketball as a guard, and in track. In SEMO State College Coach lettered as a back in football, and after serving in the armed forces during the war, returned and played on probably the finest football team the col- lege has ever had, lettering again as a back. ...77..

Dick Sides' running was a determining factor in the victory. The Cairo Pilots next entertained the Bengals at Schultz Field in Cairo, Illinois, and suf- fered a 32-7 defeat. A freak start highlighted the stint. The Tigers turned back a stubborn and courageous Caruthersville High eleven, 19-7, in a Big Eight Conference contest by capitalizing on three intercepted passes in the third quarter at Houck Field. In an exciting game at Houck Field the Mueggemen next defeated the strong Sikeston Bulldogs 12-O in a game packed with thrills. A large crowd attended. Despite frigid temperatures, the Bengals continued their hot pace, and sparked by great play by Wayne Mulkey and Dick Sides, tripped the Perryville eleven 12-O at Perryville. Before 3000 fans in Mayfield, Kentucky, the Mayfield Cardinals, one of the most power- ful teams in this section, handed the Tigers their first and only defeat of the season, 13-6.

LETTERMEN RICHARD FLENTGE, tackle -- became one of the most important and reliable cogs in the Central gridiron machine. Rich was always ready, always will- ing, always alert. BASIL MILLS, quarterback deluxe. Peppery all the time, Basil played heads- up ball all year. A fine example to younger lads. LEROY DIETIKER, ELWOOD HOFFMAN, HAROLD STRATT'ON - the work- horses of the staff. These boys grinned at competition and crushed it. Their graduation leaves a huge gap in the line-up. They will always be remembered for their spirited play. NORMAN ELDRIDGE, RICHARD WILSON - Center and Guard. Norman won't take anyone's dust at center. Rich played superbly - fitted well in Muegge's plans. Wait until next year for these boys really to play ball. IIM MILLER - finished his football career at C. H. S. after a great season. Dependable offensive as well as defensive work by lim was easily recognized as one of the pinnacles of the Bengals' success. HARRY NEAL - a truly fine player. A stouthearted, stout-muscled end, Harry was plagued with bruises and injuries all last season. Nevertheless, he played his position second to none. WAYNE MULKEY. RAY ESTES - full back and end respectively - were vast- ly improved players. Mulkey's offensive ability and Estes' defensive genius supplied Central with extra punch. CHARLIE BLATTNER, DOYLE EDWARDS - These boys could always be de- pended on to step in and settle matters when the regulars became rattled. Their experience will be valuable in the coming seasons for the team. Watch them! DICK SIDES e was tops. His great running, alertness, and team spirit will not be forgotten for a long time. Dick was considered the best player on the team in offensive play. BOB HOWARD - superb punter, saved the Tigers from many a vexing situa- tion. Bob's uncanny ability to get away clean, high long punts was a most valuable asset. l-le will be missed. IERRY PROFFER, HARVEY HOPPER - spirited lads. Ierry was incapacitated for a long stretch but got in the lackson game. Baldy kept his reputation as fast and fine on defense. They graduated this year. DON NOTHDURFT, STANLEY REINHOLZ, DON SCHAFER - saw action off and on during the campaign. Their earnest play will be remembered. All are seniors. TOE HOWELL - had his greatest year of sports at C. H. S. Pine pitching on the baseball team and excellent quarterbacking on the football team high- lighted his record which was embellished with the honor of scoring more points, 37, than any other player. BOB PROPFER W- worked well with Dick Sides, and as a result many yards were gained, few lost. Bob, who graduates, had his best year and will be missed.

Member not in picture w Bob Howard. The trend in fine sports at Central was continued in the field of basket- ball. A fast moving team, alert and well-rounded, accounted for the good showing. Teamwork was stressed: cooperation dominated every play. The record speaks for itself: Date Team Score Place Dec. 16 Perryville 29-l3 Here Dec. l9 Sikeston 32-25 There Training School Tournament December 29, 30, 3l lan. 6 Iackson 26-25 There lan. 8 Cairo, lll. 40-27 Here lan. 9 Poplar Bluff 35-22 There lan. l3 Leadwood 42-4l Here Ian. 20 Advance 30-25 Here lan. 22 Preps 23-ll There Ian. 27 Perryville 36-17 There Ian. 30 Poplar Bluff Ccancelledl Here Feb. 3 Advance 39-31 There Feb. 5 Iackson 26-l7 Here Feb. 6 Cairo, lll. 41-26 There Feb. l3 Leadwood 44-34 There Due to the destruction of Houck Field House by fire, the remaining games were cancelled. ln the Training School Tournament Central was eliminated in the second game. At the sub-regional tournament the Tigers were again de- feated but managed to gain third place honors. BASKETBALL LETTERMEN RICHARD VOLKERDING was the captain of the team. He did some beautiful floor work and was great at working the ball under the basket. His l02 points will be missed next season. BOB HOWARD, although out part of the season, played good ball for the Tigers. With a few breaks he would have really made an excellent show- ing. Bob graduates this year also. - .,., - 82 BASKETBALL SQUAD Row l, left to right S Bradford Sneed, Lee Porter, loe Bertling, Bob Howard, lack lones, Larry Burford, Larry Caldwell.

RICHARD RYAN was always able to fool the other player when he had the ball. His past experience should make him a really fine player next season. Watch him! RAY ESTES was one of the most dependable men Muegge and Beard had on defense. Teamwork is his watchword. Ray is looking forward to next season. IOE BERTLING, a great rebounder, led the scoring with I34 points. He was the most improved player on the team and perhaps the best. CHARLIE BLATTNER filled in everywhere in the line-up. A most valuable player. Wait for the coming seasons for Charlie to really show his ability and talent. . BILL ENGLEMAN was the boy who so ably took Howard's place, he may play center next season. MARVIN PROEFER was the fellow who got the team out' of many a tight situation. His gratifying play was acclaimed by all. Next season he should be even better. The basketball managers, BILL COLMAN and DON BROD. were on the job all the time. Their efforts were deeply appreciated. BASEBALL Wednesday, March l7, was the opening of the baseball season. The eight lettermen returning from last year's champion team were Bob Howard, Ray Estes, Charles Blattner, Darrell Wallis, Lee Porter, Richard Volkerding loe Bertling, and Wayne Mulkey.
