Every side show leaves its impression ... I remember that act . . . will you ever forget her — or him?

Many times you'll remember the friends . . . the confidence . . . the experience you acquired in the Big Top. Let our Big Day in the Big Top bring back to you the spirit of Central . . . the memories of three years of real performances. 6 TICKET TAKERS At the box office of the Centrol Circus we find a very efficient staff of ticket takers. They issue programs to matinee performances and proclaim with the crash of the time clock that another student has been processed and that another statistic is ready to be added to the ledger. All newcomers must pass through these portals and be reviewed before entering the main arena. Accurate records of each performer's history are kept on file, and all requests—ink?-envelope? — change for five? — Scotch tape?—are carefully fulfilled with an always present, friendly smile. Mrs. Faughnder's unexcelled witty remarks and rich sarcasm provide for the never dull atmosphere which prevails in the Central office. J. Werret, M. Hubbard. J. McNomee, Mr . Faughnder Chief Clerk, Mr . Faughnder; Requisition Clerk, Mr . Rausch; Attendance Clerk, Mr . Arneion; Credit Clerk, Mitt Anderson; Nurse, Mrs. Klein, MR. BLUME The Star Dressing Tent of our Big Top . . . belongs to the Star Performer and Circus Manager, Mr. Blume. He has a sensational act . . . that wins our applause. He also directs the three big rings . . . and rehearses each new act . . . before it is presented to the audience. He ushers the crowds into the arena . . . and keeps performers' spirits up even though some acts must go on, be it win, lose, or draw. He has great ideas for the future of our Greatest Show on Earth ... to make it even more than that. To that end he confers with other circus managers . . . assembled in convention at Atlantic City . . . New York City . . . and elsewhere. Other circuses may compete with us, but as far as we're concerned, our Central High Big Top will always have the warmest and friendliest tent of any Big Top in the world. Our support and cooperation always to Clarence Blume. MR CLASSON Mr. Classon is the barker—or should we say the bouncer—of the show. He takes core of those few who try their luck at sneaking under the tent. His job is tremendous and keeps him on the move from morning till night. When tightrope-walkers get off on the wrong rope, Mr. Classon finds the right one for them. Before show time, a visitor to the Big Top would see Mr. C. whizzing in and out of study tents to make sure everything is running smoothly, for you know each performer must practice his act faithfully to become successful. And so to you, Mr. Classon, who have given so much of your time in the three rings of our establishment—we say, don't give up, for some day we will have those honor study tents of which you have so long and fervently dreamed. 8 COUNSELORS The quietest, most informal room in the build-ing with carpeting on the floor and a friendly atmosphere prevailing throughout is the counseling room overlooking the rolling front lawn. Here Miss Bell gives advice and help to the sophomores and B-juniors, and Mr. Rohde aids the upper classmen. These counselors guide the students in their academic choices, help them to improve their marks, and find and help select jobs for those who want to work. They give the Kuder interest tests and also conduct the dreaded aptitude tests for the seniors. Our counselors do excellent jobs of solving the problems of the performers who wont persons with more experience to guide them along the road to success. These two people help the vital purpose of high school to function. They deserve much appreciation for the able work which they have done. LIBRARIANS A library assignmentl When some of the performers hear this, their reactions are many and varied. To be let loose in that maze of papers and words, actually to look up something and make a report on it, how terrible! But seriously, the library is a cozy place with attractive, comfortable chairs, a fireplace, and stacks of wonderful books. When smart acrobats or bareback riders want information on learning new tricks or on the history of their work or just plain recreational reading, they drop in at the Big Top library. Here we have everything from The Origin of the Side Show to How to Feed Elephants in Three Easy Lessons, and Mrs. Brice ond Co. are very cordial and helpful in straightening out confused students and showing them where to find what. 9 JUNIOR PERFORMERS ROOM 305 First Row: J.

HALL MONITORS One of the first things you'll notice when you enter the Central Circus is the performers who are caged in the corners of the halls and sprinkled here and there os you walk throughout the big tent. These are the ticket takers, so to speak. It is their duty to see to it that all (teachers excluded) who tread the halls have little pink passes clutched tightly in their hands. There are rumors to the effect that on can walk past them without a pink pass, but these rumors are ruthlessly stamped out by Miss Kicher. Besides overseeing the Student Council, and the PTSA, Miss Kicher is a very capable manager of the Hall Monitors, Inc. Were it not for her able guidance and the support of the Hall Monitors, it is doubtful whether the Central menagerie would be the well-ordered place it is todoy. SPRING HALL MONITORS—Front Row: C.

The Red Cross comes under this category. Red Cross representatives in home rooms helped students to fill gift boxes with necessities for war-torn countries in Europe. Students contributing to the drive enclosed their names and addresses in the articles they gave, and many were the thank-you letters they received. For Christmas and Thanksgiving, they devoted their energies to making tray favors for use in hospitals. Moreover, the Red Cross organized a talent unit, which gave shows at Sheltering Arms and Veterans' Hospitals. Performers who participated were Dick Heidelberg, Shirley Ann Johnson, Marian Knutson, Elaine Gianoulis, Joan Cameron, Bob Brink, Pat Blank-holm, Ken Gaalaas, Ethel Weum, Walter Ahlstedt, and Margaret Bowman. A County-wide council meeting attended by representatives from each school was held at St. Mark's Church. The object of the meeting was to get ideas and information about the programs and drives carried on in other schools. Mrs. Torgerson very competently directed the Red Cross during the first semester and during the latter part of the second semester. SPRING RED CROSS—First Row: B. Yahn, P. McNamee, I. Johnson, J.

Even if you do manage to enter your home tent without donating your cotton candy money toward saving for graduation (a come-on used continually by cashiers), you'll have no peace until you give in to their gentle persuasions and drop your hard-earned pennies into the little envelope marked Deposit. Cashiers always have a large supply of these on hand and dangle them before you with an eager gleam in their eyes. Of course they have nothing but your own interests at heart. Goodness knows, they get no reword if you bank ... no reward, that is except a thrift banner . . . and that belongs to the home tent. SPRING BANKERS Firit Row: M. Hulk , M. Magnuson, M. Guttofioo, F.

Beaverton and His Gavel STUDENT COUNCIL That silent, unobtrusive force that works behind the scenes of the Central Circus to keep the shows smoothly clicking is known as the Student Council. The Central Student Council acts as sponsors for the drives and projects that are carried on in many nearby schools. Jerry Sim-ondet is the All-County Student Council President . . . making Central the president school for the county. Besides sponsoring the football banquet and collecting money for the Community Chest, the Council backs the Homecoming, the annual Mistletoe Mixer, and the Windy Whirl Dances. Firtt Row: E.

A Circus band isn't really a Circus band unless the players have beautiful spangly uniforms. For years the Central band didn't look like a band at all. But at last this year, thanks to the untiring efforts of the P.T.S.A., our band, magnificently orrayed in bright blue and red uniforms, entertained at Nicollet Field, no less. The Parent Teachers Student Association also sponsors dances and basket socials together with interesting and informative meetings, such as the one which featured a debate on Universal Military Training.

MIMES AND MUMMERS Truly the show of shows at the Central circus is the organization known as the Mimes and Mummers (Mimes for short). This Head Show is composed of aspiring Thespians whose sole ambition it is to project emotions across the footlights. Of all the shows under the Big Tent, the ones the Mimes put on about four times yearly are the best. In addition to these, the Christmas play is traditionally given by the Mimes. Students can belong to the Mimes and Mummers only if they pass the tryouts successfully and are elected into the club. Tryouts are held once every semester. Membership is limited to thirty members, but as it may happen that enough do not meet the qualifications, there may be vacancies. Officers for the first semester were Ken Gaalaas, Thea Miller, Joan Blomberg and Art Felker. Connie Chivers, Jack Prellwitz, Mary Hubbard and Muriel Nord served for the second semester.

Such, unfortunately, was the case in Someone for Bunny, a comedy belatedly given by the Mimes — belatedly because a sudden change of plans prevented its being given on the date first planned. Then Mary Hubbard became ill and her voice wouldn't even carry to the footlights; so the performance was again put off. Next, because Mary Lou Brady was seized with the flu, the healthy members of the cast were forced to discontinue rehearsals. Finally, on February 6, roughly three months late, Someone for Bunny was presented with all the cast in working order. Favorable reports were received, and it surely can be added to the list of hits presented by the Mimes. 25 WHERE THE BARKERS TRAIN Training the barkers for the circus of the future . . . that's the job of the English teachers.

Dignified senators and lovely slave girls dressed in flowing robes and togas are brought to life in this part of the show under the Big Top. The scene of the annual Roman banquet is one of colorful costumes combined with old Roman ceremonies. Everything from the nectar and ambrosia of the gods to delectable creamed chicken is served in the approved fashion of the ancients. The Latin Club does its bit for international relations each Christmas by joining with the Spanish and German classes for a language party, at which they have a good time singing Christmas carols in three languages. At the club meetings these modern-day Romans study the amusements, homelife, art, and music enjoyed by their forerunners. When in Rome do ai the Roman do—and they did. First Row: K. Antonien, P.

Lander, F. Zimmerman. W. Mitchell, M. Hepp. ENGINEERS Did you ever wonder who kept the cogs in the complicated machines under the big top running smoothly? It's really no small task. In fact, the engineering staff is kept so busy that only one of them even took time to have his picture taken. They're first to arrive on the scene, and it is they who open the gates and the box office. When the show is finally over, they close the Big Top until the next performance. COOKS The performers in Central's circus can really put away food. If you don't believe this, ask the cooks who prepare their meals. Twice each noon a hungry, jostling crowd rushes through the line in front of the counter to select a lunch. Handing the food to them is only a small part of the cooks' work. They begin early in the morning to prepare delectables, and long after the noon rush, our cooks are still working, cleaning up and planning future menus. E. Cerveny t. Wold, T. Jacobson, L Larsen, A.

STAGE CREW There is o whole show of backstage activity not many people think about when they see a major production under the Big Top. The stage crew are the chief performers in this behind-the-scenes drama. They are there when a star performer needs a spotlight, when an air of mystery or excitement must be created by certain lighting effects, and when one set must be whisked off and another whisked on for the act to follow. These boys work hard and are not a little ingenious at getting the good effects that they produce with the equipment available. K. Goa loot, 8. Brink, D. Wilton, 0. Johnton, P. Optol.

Central finished an exciting season in second place. Paced by some speedy little men and backed by a solid line, the Pioneers went places. Their first game was against a much heavier team, Washburn, but with speed and able quarterbacking the Millers were completely befuddled to the tune of 26-0. Southwest was another walkaway with more credit to an outweighed line. Our homecoming game was our first night game. Marshall, it was predicted, might win this one, but the Pioneers were victors, 12-0. Undefeated, untied, unscored upon were Central and North, when they dashed under the lights for their big game. The Pioneers were ahead 19-0 the first half, but North came to life in the second and their score climbed, but not quite high enough to defeat Central. The cinch Vocational should have been wasn't. Not until the end of the third quarter did the miracle of 34th street begin. Tom McNamee, who had been out with a cracked wrist, piloted the Pioneers from a 14-0 deficit with three minutes remaining, to a 19-14 win. Against South, Central had one bad break after another as the Pioneers couldn't get going and lost 6-27. The Markley men walked all over West in one of the most humiliating defeats a previous champion could get, 31-6, to finish a really wonderful season. 45 Fir 1 Row: J. Thull. 0. Roberts. W. Block.

Tricky running . . . smooth rhythm . . . coordinated action ... all these . . . and we added to it a grandstand of exuberant students . . . cheering alumni . . . teeming with tense faces and strained voices. A flashy team . . . the experts said . . . and our starry eyes echoed, the best team. Central goes Wild!!! Mockoy, G. Johnson, C. Olson, C. Burns, D. Benson, J. Flugour, P. Opsal, R. Burns, T.

Something new . . . the first year in which the team was composed entirely of sophomores . . . and of also a few freshmen from Bryant . . . who expect to play football at Central. A good idea . . . giving future grid stars a chance to polish up their plays. Coaches were interested in the progress of the younger boys . . . always with the idea of looking for future material and giving hints to Hit that line harder! . . . Let's really get in there! And there was always next year to look forward to . . . the varsity . . . and lettermen. No wonder there was a gleam in their eyes. SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL First Row: B. Catey, R. Eliberry, R. OUon, B.

Anyway the Central cagers suffered defeats for several reasons, one of which wos the fact that Tom McNamee, an all-city player last year, was out of all except the last five games as the result of a broken wrist. The season started against South. During the first half. Central held its own and made a good showing, but her team gradually fell behind and lost in the second half. In later games, after losing to Edison by thirteen points, the Pioneers hit the hard luck trail, bowing to West by one point and losing to Vocational by the slim margin again of one point. Against Washburn, Central never got started, losing 32-47. North had too much speed for the Pioneer five, which lost in the closing minutes by several points. Central had its first victory when it trounced Southwest 46-28. Their second win over Marshall was the result of the shooting prowess of the Pioneer cagers as they closed the season winning 48-34. What a build up was here! Next year the Pioneers will have the makings of a championship team, for the only player ihey will lose by graduation will be Tom McNamee.

SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL The sophomore basketball team played nine games in the city and one against Mound — well fought, zestful games . . . winning 38-31 against Henry . . . 26-20 against Marshall. The coaches spied some future stars and were proud of the young teamwork. Teammates were Bill Kornkven, Dick Betzol, Myron Biros, Stanley Fishbaugher, Jerry Fullerton, Marlow Menshek, Bill Miner, Paul Moorhead, Chuck Morris, Larry Schultz, Tom Spaise, Jerry Tuck and Ray Steele. WRESTLING Have you ever heard the grunts and groans coming from that room on the second floor back hall? No, it isn't a torture chamber for bad sophomores ... os you might well think. It's the home of a new sport of Central . . . the sport of wrestling . . . one of the most popular side shows. Coach Ed Nagel says that about 40 boys have turned out for wrestling this year. A good sport is wrestling . . . requiring strength, stamina and skill. HOCKEY In on exciting season of thrills and spills the Central hockey team, after upsetting Breck, tied for fifth place in the prep league. The Bennett men, captained by Bob Johnson, whipped Breck 4-1, gave the previous Minneapolis champions, Washburn, a trimming twice, and routed St. Louis Park 4-0. These were some of the highlights of the battles on ice. The Pioneers must have been rather good because two of their opponents played in the state hockey tournament, and each of the opposing teams beat Central by only the very narrow margin of one goal. Some of the players who sparked the team throughout the season and made most of the victories possible were Bob Johnson, captain and leading scorer for the Pioneers; Dick Roberts, a speedy man in everything; and Gaylord Elliot. Most of next year's team will be returning lettermen who will greatly bolster the squad. They are Herb Howe, Bill Hardy, Rollie Danielson, Gaylord Elliot, and Harold Bix.

Roberts, C. logon. SWIMMING Central has some of the best swimmers in the city on her team. For instance, Jim Moser is one of the city's best swimmers in the 40 and 100 yard dashes. Gary Boline is one of the best divers in the city. He and Bob McDaniels won many of the city's diving honors. The Splash men finished the season by thoroughly drowning South 48-27. Jim Moser, who captained the mermen, won the 40 yard dash, and Dave Warren finished second. Gary Oberg won the 220 yard free style. In the 100 yard backstroke. Jack Gilbertson and Lowell Maloney took second and third places respectively. Swimming isn't the easy relaxing sport it sounds. It is hard, gruelling work to practice every night and then stagger home with both one's eyes and stomach filled with green chlorine-treated water. Pull for the Shore, Sailor Front Row: T. Prootf, 0.

Terns The sport of the hard-pocked court, the resounding whacks of forehand drives, volleys, and overhead smashes, swift flights of a small white ball streaking from one end of the court to the other — this is tennis, a hard, fast game requiring trigger-timed reaction. Returning this year were Dick Roberts, Bob Roney and Millard Knudson, able veterans. Practices and matches were held at Nicollet Field under the watchful eye of Coach Ed Nagel. GOLF When the Centralian went to press, the actual status of the golf team was unknown. Who was to be on the team . . . whom they were going to play hadn't been determined. The boys will play among themselves to determine their position on the team. A round-robin schedule began some time in April. The largest score of the winning is expected to rest on the shoulders of the three returning lettermen, Russ Egner, Don Brody, and Herb Howe. The rest of the team is composed mostly of juniors and sophomores. Front Row; B. Lynch, J. Btrgung, R. Egner, 0. Brody. Bock Row: Mr. Keep your eye on the ball! Addington, G. Oberg, R. Findell. B.

CROSS COUNTRY The Central Cross Country team . . . the fastest men in the school, they say . . . took ninth place in the city meet. Meets are run at the southeast end of Lake Nokomis. The team was composed of juniors and seniors . . . not too many prospects for next year . . . but they had fun . . . didn't run in the state meet because Central doesn't possess galoshes in the equipment room. For one meet early in the season they went to St. Cloud, where they raced and beat St. Cloud Tech. ... As a reward they stopped off at Coach Hawker's summer home and had a steak feast. They also had a meet with Patrick Henry which they won. . . . John Staum was elected captain for next year's team. Dick Hill, Bennett Foster, Henry Moberg, John Staum, Verlyn Thiele, and Roger Thompson, all won a letter for cross country. Curt Ostrom, Jack Prellwitz, Don Uhlin, Roger Kottke and Paul Strandjord were also on the team. 54 Th« Shot . . . Pm On Your Mark D r__ 0j r' H id� lberg. T. Space. G. Robinjon, M. Macke , E.

Captained by Don Benson, the team started to work for the first meet of the seoson, the Metropolitan, at the University Field House. Track is a combination of several events, each entered by some boy who specializes in one thing. The winner at a meet is determined by the places won in a combination of all activities, such os pole vaulting, the shotput, the half mile and the dashes. 55 BASEBALL As we go to press very shortly, who will be who! on the baseball team cannot be said here. But under the leadership of Joe Markley, the boys will soon be practicing together, rather than in the in formal way that they are doing now on scattered sandlots. A good many returning lettermen give the squad and the coach a foundation on which they can build their team. Baseball is the sport of the nation, but often in high school it runs second to football. However there are a lot of fans who see the games, and who enjoy sitting on a bench, munching a hot dog or something, and rooting and hollering for the team to make a Homer or maybe Kill the umpire. These are the signs of the rabid baseball fan and the spring sport season. Some of the returning Pioneers will be Bob Johnson, Bill Forbord, Buster Radebach, and Don Glenn. Most of the players for the team will probably have to come from the sophomores and juniors. Pot pound out another! Glenn and Thomo worm up! T. limberii, J. Tuck. N. Walker, D. Glenn, J. Dietrich.

And o'er death's cruel theft of friendship rare I grieve once more, as if to grieving tied; When by self-pity, loss is magnified, And wistful thoughts float back to days long o'er; Age-mellowed dreams of friendly times somewhere Pervade my soul with grief too deep to hide. If then I think of Heaven's skies more bright, And picture him so happy now up there. With beaming smile now moking Heaven light. Away from this world's trouble, grief, and care; Then selfish dreams of cold dead past I lay Aside relieved, and turn to face today. —Don Johnson IN MEMOR AM Even in the best and gayest circus, there comes a time of sadness ... of departure ... a time when a well-liked member of the cost has to take his leave . . . and move on to a bigger show. Dole Johnson was the type of performer who somehow always seemed able to please his audience. He possessed some sort of rare gift which enabled him to fill other people with his own happiness. The joy Dale felt in living and playing his part is shown by the fine performance he added to the show. He was an honor student, a member of the National Honor Society, a member of the stage crew, a member of the choir, and an actor in various other sideshows of this production known os June '48, Central. And now, this star performer has left our cast . . . our show has finished its run . . . the actors go their separate ways . . . and take with them, sweet memories.

Also the faculty of Central High, the engineers, and all others who have aided in the work of publishing this 1948 Centralian. PAUL STRANDJORD, Editor 96
