Rohde. Each graduating class at Central has known Mr. Rohde as a wise and patient counselor. He has had an interest and concern for each of us, helping us to choose the right courses to fit our needs and interests and watching to be sure we secure enough credits for graduation. But his interest has gone farther. When we wondered about a job, or hesitated as to our college plans, Mr. Rohde was always willing and eager to aid us in our decision. Beyond all this, however, Mr. Rohde has, by his own ideals, provided us with an example and an inspiration. His high moral principles have led us to improve our lives, and his firm insistence on good scholarship, has unconsciously strengthened the resolution of each of us. Finally and most important, we see Mr. Rohde, not merely as an adviser, but os a friend. We know that we can graduate confident in the assurance that his friendship and interest, os well as his example, will follow us in the years to come. We salute you then, Mr. Rohde, as a counselor, an inspiration, and a friend. 3 wmmsm '% jrW 'PtE fy Perhaps the remembrance of these things will prove a source of future pleasure. — Vergil.

Nancy Forte Clarice Bierke Connie Bjerke Karen Applebaum Charlotte Strauel Triettes is a direct branch of the Young Women's Christian Association, which has chapters in almost every country in the world. This girls' organization has accomplished many worthwhile projects, but they always combine their business with pleasure. Under the competent direction of the club's two advisers. Miss Daniels and Miss Turnquist, and with the help of Miss Florence Felknor from the Y.W.C.A., Triettes had a sucessful year. The girls started off their activities with a Recognition Dinner, an annual event, where all the new members were officially accepted into the club. This banquet was held at the Y.W.C.A. The big money-making project of the year was the sale of Christmas cards. One-hundred and twenty-five boxes of cards were sold to the Students at Central and the members of the community. By selling twenty-six of these boxes, Nancy Sobolik won first prize. The service project of the year was the Valentine Party at the Pillsbury House, for boys and girls from five to seven years of age. Games, entertainment, and refreshments were provided by the Triettes. The girls frequently had parties in conjunction with the boys of the Hi-Y club. One of their favorite parties was the Snow Party held at Powderhorn Park last December. They suffered from frost-bitten noses and cold feet, but a good time was had by all who took advantage of the tobogganning and skiing. Another activity with Hi-Y took place on February 29, when the clubs had a Leap Year party together. Rounding out the year of activities for the two clubs was the Senior Farewell, a raditional graduation program.

E; Peterson, J; Mr Rochn.ng Under the direction of Mr. Roehning, faculty adviser, and Mr. Corl Hulander, secretary of the South-Central branch of the Y.M.C.A., the Hi-Y has lived up to its purpose of extending good will throughout the school ond the community. The Hi-Y boys believe in serving others ond in carrying out the club's worthy aims. The platform of the Hi-Y stresses clean scholarship, clean speech, clean sportsmanship, and clean living. The boys are proud of this platform and they are loyal to the high standards of the club. Several members prepared and delivered speeches in various Minneapolis churches to raise money for the Community Chest. They also did a good job collecting money for the March of Dimes. The year, full of exciting activities, began with the members of the Central Hi-Y attending the City-Wide Induction at the University of Minnesota. The Triettes and Hi-Y ended their annual membership drives with a party at the South Central Y.M.C.A., a popular meeting place for young people. A scavenger hunt was the highlight of the evening. The Triettes and the Hi-Y boys get together for many of their parties during the year. During the holiday season the two groups had a Christmas party ond participated in caroling at an old people's home. On February 29. the girls asked the boys of Hi-Y to their Leap Yeor Party and everyone had a wonderful time. Mothers were honored and entertained by their sons at the traditional Best Girl's Banquet. As a fitting conclusion to their season's activities the Hi-Y boys joined the Triettes in an annual farewell party honoring the graduating seniors. flow 1— Edmund.

This club, prominent in high schools all over America, is one of our oldest and most respected organizations. It was established in 1929 as a junior chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, and founded on the principles of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The members try to emulate these traits in striving for self-improvement. Activities for the year were the formation of a special honor studv hall, and a Central High School Historical Society. The advisers, Mr. Rohde, Miss Utley, and Miss Lobdell, directed these projects which proved to be both entertaining and. instructive. N. F. L. The National Forensic League is Central's debating organization. Under the guidance of Mrs. Marie Sellers, the members acquire poise and self-assurance by participating in public speaking and debate tournaments. The debaters distinguished themselves in the statewide events at Macalester and Augsburg Colleges, as well as at the Marshall Regional Debate Tournament. Other worthy accomplishments were the Warren Debate and the Invitational Debate meet at Blake School. Members are awarded five points for each debate they participate in, and one point for extemporaneus speaking.

Here are fhe cashiers and their assistants who enable you to bank every Tuesday. This is a voluntary service given to those students who like to practice thrift, and save for the future. Many sophomores and. juniors find that banking is a good way to plan for their senior budget and provide for fhe various expenses they may incur in their senior year. Under the supervision of Miss Helen Zanger, these bankers learn the principles of thrift and economics, and help advocate the practice of banking in Central High School.

This was just one of the many entertaining and educational programs sponsored by this group of parents, teachers, and students working side by side to create a greater understanding between home and school. Headed by Dr. Sanden and an efficient cabinet, this group conducted numerous open houses, planned an interesting Brotherhood Meeting, and a Welcoming Program for seniors in April. At this meeting some of Central's alumni paid us a return visit. President Vice President Secretary Treasurer . .

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is one of the most active organizations of Central High School. This is the group we have to thank for bringing about all the many improvements around the school; notably, the wider variety of food served in our modern lunchroom. It was also the Student Council which sponsored the majority of our dances and parties. The traditional Homecoming Dance and the Christmas Mistletoe Mixer both proved to be big events of the year. Equally successful were the Polio Prom, which was presented in conjunction with the speech department, and the annual Student Council Dance in the spring. During the year, members of the Student Council, under the guidance of Miss Helen Kicher, sold book covers, collected funds for the Community Chest, and worked on the revision of a new Red and Blue Handbook. An interesting trip to Duluth was enjoyed by several students who attended a meeting of the State Association of Student Council Members. A similar meeting took place at the District Association in April. One of the newer organizations of the Council is a welcoming committee, whose duty it is to help new students and visitors become acquainted with the school. Thus, working quietly, the Student Council brings about many desirable changes and improvements at Central. President ... ..... Howard Sandcn Vice Preiident ....... Maryanne Booth Secretary .

The Central branch of the Junior Red Cross has a record of accomplishment that has elicited praise from the National Chapter. The work of the organization is handled by advisory representatives under the direction of Miss Florence Legate. Knitting bedsocks for soldiers, stuffing animals for children's hospitals, and collecting money and small gifts to Fill Christmas boxes for boys and girls in foreign lands occupied the council during the Yule season. It was indeed a worthwhile project to share Christmas presents with those who might not receive as much as we in America do. The sale of pencils, carrying a Centrol High School imprint, was a successful way of raising money. The pencils were very popular with the students, and everyone was eager to buy them in great numbers. The Central group took an active port in the annual March Red Cross drive, and the response from the students and teachers was encouraging. The picture on this page shows the blood bank at Central. Girls in white uniforms are shown assisting two donors in Filling out their pledge cards at an open house of the P.T.S.A. Members of the Junior Red Cross do all they can to bring about many improvements, and further the work of the Notional Chapter. These young workers can take great pride and satisfaction in their worthwhile activities. 19 Row 1— Misj Kichcr, Judy, R; Jackson, L; Gohde, 0; Row 2—Bulin, J; Failor, D; Jemison, I, Carmichael, B; Row 3—Torger-son, D; Abrahamson, D; Levin, A; Peohl, C; Row 4—Ncwbauer, R; Nielsen, E; Joseph, R; Moyeda.

LIBRARY MONITORS HALL MONITORS Central's library is the heart of many school functions, as well as a pleasant retreat for those who enjoy reading good literature, and appreciate a quiet room for study and research. The library staff is headed by Mrs. Brice and Miss Thompson who help us select good books and periodicals. They make the library a fascinating reservoir of endless information. The duty of the monitors is to check attendance, keep order in the library, and rearrange the books in the reference room. We can be very proud of our neat and modern library at Central. Lunch period usually means food and time for a little relaxation for us, but to these students it means work. During the fourth hour the monitors make sure that the students in the lunchroom stay on the first floor, so they won't disturb those still in class. They also guard the lunchroom doors to prevent students from carrying food outdoors and into the halls. Under Miss Kicher's supervision the monitors enforce discipline and order. A great deal of credit is deserved by these guards for the unrewarding jobs they perform. Row 1—Erickson, Y; Hullett, P; Kielblock, G; Holm. M; Row 2-Buringfon. J; Bjerke.

Under the direction of Mr. Hovey, the Shutterbugs take field trips, develop photographs, and enter camera contests. With another trip to Mexico in two years on their agenda, the Spanish Club members engaged in the sale of vanilla and Christmas cards during the past year to finance their trip. Miss Liskey, the adviser, sponsored many interesting meetings. President ............................................... Alon Dohl President Vico President ................ . .

The stage crew, working industriously together as a team, is responsible for our curtains going up, our stage lights going on, and our scenery being arranged. They are the silent workers behind all of our auditorium programs. When we enjoy the special sound effects, the lighting and the scenery, and view the various movies and plays enacted on our stage, we have the stage crew to thank for many memorable and amusing moments of our school year. This year's stage crew has only three members; the smallest in Central's history, but they do the work of ten, and compare favorably with Central's former stage crews. Not only do they work during school hours, but much of their after school time is devoted to rehearsals and play practices which take up a great deal of their time and effort. Mr. Miles is their supervisor who gives them their stage directions and lighting cues. Anyone who has ever participated in a program understands how hard these boys really work.

Mimes and Mummers President Vice President Secretary . . . Treasurer .. Bella Elliott Janet Johnson Joyce Howkes ... Bill Phelps Mimes and Mummers, the little theatre of Central High School, has offered wonderful experience and dramatic training for prospective young actors. The club was left without an adviser last September, but the remaining members decided to carry on independently; operating the club entirely through student co-operation. Auditions were held in October and new members were added to the group, making a total of twenty-four members. Qualifications for entering Mimes included ambition and good grades, os well as dramatic talent. The contestants were graded on their poise, clarity of voice, stage presence, and interpretation. After the fall election was held, the Mimes formed a play committee to select an appropriate fall play. They chose an exciting melodrama, 'The Jeweled Hand , and try-outs for the cast were conducted soon afterwards. The Jeweled Hand proved to be a tremendous success. There were many stifled screams of horror from the audience when the lights went out and the jeweled hand appeared from behind the curtains. Both students and teachers agreed that it was a wonderful masterpiece of drama and suspense. It is worthy to note that the play was produced entirely under student direction and organization. Good job. Mimes! “THE JEWELED HAND” November 29, 1951, was the date for the annual Mimes and Mummers' fall play. A brutal murder, a diamond engagement ring, and an insane lover were involved in the thrilling plot of the play. The guest director was Mrs. Sue lindberg, a student at the University of Minnesota, and Helen Baker was the student director. Heading the cast were Bill Phelps and Janet Johnson, seniors, as Blair Burns and Ann Andrews. Warren Waring, the villain, was portrayed by Bruce Bart, sophomore,- and Carol Robichon, senior, played the port of Claire Collins. In the characters parts were Bella Elliot, senior, as Aunt Alice,- Brian Bart, sophomore, as Kelly, the policeman; and Kathleen Finne, senior, as Molly, the maid.

The choir members will never forget the great thrill of being in a 1,000 voice choir that sang Handel's Messiah to the accompaniment of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. The mighty cadences of the Hallelujah Chorus still ring in many of our ears, as well as the applause received from the immense audience at the Northrop Auditorium. One of the most enthusiastically received programs was the concertized version of Gounod's opera Faust, complete with interpretive dialogue, ballet sequences, and solos. Mr. Miles, encouraged by its reception, planned the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Trial By Jury for a spring production. Also on the calendar of events were the Annual Spring Concert, the exchange concerts with South High, and the various tours and trips to sing in parts of the state.

This is the group of musicians who supply the school spirit and pep at all the games and assemblies. They are always on hand at all the athletic events to play our school song and help our team on to success. Many of us will never forget the spectacular pageant, Uncle Sam in Review , performed in formation ,by the members of the band and modern dance class during the Homecoming game. Last December, the band gave a demonstration for the music teachers of Minneapolis as a service for the Instrumental Repair Clinic. Mr. Christianson, the student teacher from the University of Minnesota, has been a great help to our band during the year, as well as David Latterell, the concertmaster. Sometimes the band receives visits from Mr. Tkach who comes ;n to mark its progress and to offer suggestions for improvement. The band gave an unforgettable Spring Concert last February, featuring classical music as well as marches. A harp number was also on the program. Recently, the band entered a district band contest, and had several exchange concert engagements during the year. A combined band and vocal concert in the form of a Spring Music Festival, which included musical offerings from Bryant, Jefferson, and Phillips Junior High Schools, was another one of our band's memorable performances.

Girls’ Sextette Central Singers The second largest singing club at Central High School is the Girls' Sextette, an organization that is still in its infancy. The singers in the group are Hazel Gunther, Janice Lindberg, Margaret Sondahl, Helen Baker, Marie Fitzwafer, and Lorraine Hall. If was formed early last September by Helen Baker, who directed the rehearsals, and selected the program numbers. The Girls Sextette made its debut on the homecoming program when they sang Dry Bones. They made other appearances at a P.T.S.A. meeting, and on the Christmas program. The Central Singers, only three years old, is one of the most popular musical ensembles at Central. Under the able direction of Bob Spong, senior, this group works together in close harmony to give up many rich moments of musical enjoyment. At Christmas time they sang a series of carols over W.T.C.N. and later in the season they participated in a demonstration for the senior seminar at the University of Minnesota.

Clarinet Ray l cly French Horn Music Appreciation Girls Glee Club Here we hove a small ensemble of band members tuning up in one of their after-school rehearsals. These extra-curricular section practices are popular with the students of the music department, and they always get remarkable results from their rehearsals. This is a typical jam-session of classical music featuring the melodies of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. Hazel Gunther, the harpist, is playing chords and arpeggios on her instrument to the accompaniment of Ronald Andreas and LaVern Lugar on the clarinets. Raymond Isley carries the melody on the French horn. Mr. Miles is the originator of these little concerts. The Girls' Glee Club js sometimes known as the stepping stone to choir. Whenever new members for choir are needed, the Girls' Glee Club is always ready to help. Sometimes they double with the choir to sing in special concerts. By doing this, the magnitude and vocal quality of the singing is augmented greatly. The concertized version of the opera Faust was just one example of teamwork between the choir and the Glee Club. They also contributed to the spring production of Trial By Jury by dedicating their talents and efforts to make the operetta a success. Row 1—Harter. J; Dalton, P; Blum.

One of the hardest working organizations functioning in Central is the Centralian Staff. Each year this group does its utmost to produce one of the best yearbooks in the country. If is evident that they have accomplished this achievement, for the staff of the last ten years have produced books worthy of an A rating from the National Scholastic Press Association of the University of Minnesota and an award from the Columbia University, Heading the production of this year's Centralian are Lois Nelson and her capable assistants, Jim Pearson and Colleen Moore. They, with Mr. Johnson and the staff, have prepared for your enjoyment the 1952 Centralian. The members of the staff were assigned to the different sections of the book, and deadlines were set for the completion of these sections. Many wild and hectic afternoons were spent struggling to meet the deadlines wheih quickly crept up on them. The deadlines met, and the book to the printer, the staff then relaxed until the book returned for final proofreading. In the meantime the business manager and his assistant were frantically attempting to make both ends meet. The printer completed his task and your 1952 Centralian was passed to you, the critics, for the final approval. A sixth period in 410. 29 P L r - 'U 'J '. i .JJy. i a - i i zi?$ kTvWM ru .

Exhibiting the finest spirit of any high school team, the Pioneer gridders finished the season close on the heels of Twin City champion Southwest.

However, they found Southwest's Touchdown Twins, Paul Eddy and Bob Meri-dith, too tough to handle and lost a heart-breaker 28 to 14. The highlight of the season was the sensational play of Clayton Burkstrand, who set a city scoring record of 1C8 points to smash the previous high of 100 set by Red Williams of Roosevelt in 1940. He also established a new single game mark when he romped for five touchdowns against Vocational. 32 Cloyt alone, however, was not the only reason for the team's success. Led by their co-captains, Dick Wisti and Denny Monge, the team improved with every game. Denny, Cloyt and center Paul Quam were all-city selections and won Player of the Week awards,- whereas, Dick was chosen the team's most valuable player. Dean Monge, John Speliopoulis, Dick Helling, and Bob Waters turned in outstanding work in the Central line; while Bob Spong was well on the way to an All-City post when he was injured in the Southwest game. In the back-field Dick Burg, the only sophomore on the squad, and quarter-back Mike Manuel helped share the offensive burden.

Coach Loris Whitey Thoreson's basketball squad finished their conference season with a record of seven victories and only three defeats. This was good for a third place finish in the City High School Basketball League standings. Their tightly knit zone defense functioned effectively against small, fast teams,-but could not cope with the all-around height advantage held over them by Washburn, Roosevelt, and Twin-City Champion North. Their triumphs were scored of the expense of Southwest, South, Mar- shall, Henry, West, Vocational, and Edison. John Patzwald, the Pioneer's captain and sensational guard, was named to the All-City Team,- and in Paul Quam the squad boasted of one of the finest defensive men in the city. Clayton Burk-strand, Ray Kostick, Al Levitt, and Jack Roberts, a six foot five inch sophomore, helped carry the scoring burden up front; while Jerry Rodberg and little LeRoy Jack-son, who made up for his lack of size with speed and aggressiveness, bolstered Central's back court platoon.

Yearling Cagers Tie for Title. Champions for the fourth time in the lost five years are Coach Loris Whitey Thoreson's sophomore football squad. The Pioneer yearlings annexed the undisputed title by finishing the season undefeated in five gomes, two of which ended in ties. The team started by tying North's and Edison's sophomores in their first two games. After that, however, the little Pioneers showed the class which made them champions, defeating Southwest, West, and Washburn. Many of Coach Thoreson's charges showed that they are ready to bolster Coach Markley's varsity. Those showing outstanding ability included ends, Arnie Stoecker, John Jones, Bob Moffett; tackles, George Jacobson, Tom Brown; guards, Stanley Schendel, Leonard Nash, Keith Burnes,- center, Robert Radabach, backs, Derwin Carter, Bill Rose, Curt Johnson, Richard Robinson, Dow Doyle. Central's sophomore cagers brought added glory to Central as they tied Edison for the city sophomore basketball title. Coach Hawker's charges finished the season with a record of nine victories against only one defeat. The title marked the second time that Central has been sophomore basketball champion in the last four years. After losing their season's opener to the Owotonna B team, the sophs ran up a winning streak of nine straight, which included victories over North, Roosevelt, Washburn, South, Henry, Vocational, West, Marshall, Southwest and Minnehaha Academy. Their only loss was sustained in the season's finale at the hands of co-titlist Edison. Those who were outstanding during the season and should be of help to next year's varsity are forwards, Dick Robinson, who led the team in scoring, and Dick Beckman,- center, Jim Sweet; and guards, Dow Doyle, Bob Moffett and Jim Beiker.

With five of last year's regulars returning. Coach Marvin Hordy has a nucleus around which to build his 1952 baseball team. Those regulars returning include infielders, LeRoy Jackson, Don Quinn, and John Patzwald; outfielder, Mike Manuel; and outfielder-catcher, Dale Werth. Also back are pitchers Norm Hanson and Dick Abrahamson, who both saw extensive service last year. Coach Hardy hopes to find suitable replacements from among those who gained some varsity experience last year and the few outstanding sophomores in order to make the squad a title contender. Others who will see a great deal of action include infielders Ron Gohde, Paul Quam and Dow Doyle,-outfielders Gene Moore and Don Johnson,- and catcher Dick Burg. For the first time in Central's history there was a junior varsity baseball team. The purpose of this team was to give more students a chance to play baseball and to gain the necessary experience valuable to the varsity squad. Under the direction of Coach Melvyn Johnson, the squad played other junior varsity teams from other city high schools. Vacancies which appeared on the varsity roster through injuries and ineligibility were filled with members of the junior varsity squad. First Row: Coach Johnson, Hennager, Webster, Schmitz, Jones.

The hockey squad finished the season in second place in the City High School League standings on the strength of their seven won and one lost record. The Pioneers placed Dick Burg, their star center, on the All-City Team. Dick also tied with Bob Meri-dith of Southwest for the scoring title with 27 points, while captain Bob Spong with 23 and Dick Helling with 18 also finished well up on the final listings. Norman Delano, playing in the nets, allowed Central opponents only 14 goals during the eight game schedule and scored three shutouts. Central's outstanding defense was due, in part, to the excellent play of defense men Chuck Condon and John Bulin. Central on the offensive. Lettermen Score ‘Bulin, John Burg. Dick Condon.

STANDING—Coach Strukcl Central's mermen followed the pattern set by the football and hockey teams and finished second in the conference standings. Only a one point loss at the hands of North prevented the Pioneers from tying Roosevelt for the title. The swimmers defeated Edison, Marshall. Henry, South, West, Vocational, and Southwest in chalking up their record of seven victories and one defeat. They also placed in the Y.M.C.A. Invitational Meet, which included thirteen of the top teams from public and private schools in the Twin City area. Tom Brown, swimming in the 50 yard free-style, took fourth place in the State Meet; while the 200 yard relay team composed of Brown, Ron Berg, Don Ober-beck, and captain Dick Stoll finished in sixth place. Denny Edmond, a sophomore diver, wos also a consistent point winner. Coach Strukel thinks prospects for next year's team are excellent. Seven of the eleven lettermen will return next year, including Tom Brown, Ron Berg, and Don Oberbeck, all of whom won points in the state meet. Tanksters in action! FRONT ROW—Joseph, Webster.

These three were Captain Mike Monuel, in the 154 pound class, Robert Joseph in the 145 pound class, and Bob Waters in the 165 pound class. The season's record of two victories and six defeats fails to give a true picture of this year's squad. The team, which was made up primarily of juniors and sophomores, improved steadily through the course of the season. Coach Hardy loses only Denny Monge, Mike Manuel, and Milo Ecklund from this year's squad, and will have among those lettermen returning Robert Joseph ond Bob Waters, both of whom will be contenders for city championships. He also has experienced wrestlers to help fill the spots vacated by the graduating seniors. Other members of the team returning include Earl Nielson, James Webster, Frank May-edo.

Possessing what is probably the brightest future of any of the Spring sports. Central's cindermen should be one of the fop teams in the city. Coach Howker boasts of three of the state's fastest dash-men in Clayton Burkstrand, city 100 and 220 yard dash titlisf two years ago, Burie Carmichael, and Ronald Judy. All three men were members of last year's state champion 880 yard relay team; and will, when joined by sophomore Dave Johnson, be out to retain their title this year. The squad will, however, be dependent upon the points picked up in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, the hurdles, and the relay events in their quest for the city crown. Graduation hurt the Pioneers in the distance and placed the bu den upon two juniors, Tom Horstman and Bob Sorenson. In the field events, Denny Monge could pick up points in the shot-put or discus,- and either Chuck Peahl or Wayne Edmond might place in the pole vault. Burkstrand makes up for toil time.

The linksmen should also boast one of the top golfers in the city in Vic Olson, who will be seeking his third letter in golf. With the necessary practice, the squad could develop into a title contender; for if has the necessary- depth and ability. Although there are only two seniors on the squad. Coach Loris Whitey Thoreson's netmen could well be a threat for the city title. In Jack Roach, the second ranked junior singles player in the Upper Midwest, and Jerry Rudquist, the tennis team has two of the top singles players in the city. Carl Heimberg and Wally Pearson give the team an excellent doubles combination. Other members of the squad who will see action are Mike Dunn in the singles, and Jerry Rodberg and Roy Phillips in the doubles.

Central's harriers displayed talents for a much better showing in the future. Coach Bill Hawker's squad was composed entirely of sophomores and juniprs, all of whom will be out next year to better their this year's performance. Central's top finisher in the city meet was Tom Horsfman, a junior who placed 25th in a field of over 200. Bob Sorenson, also a junior, placed 27th from the top. The outlook for next year is very bright. The squad should have gained the necessary experience in the last two years plus the same spirit and willingness to practice to constantly improve their time. Among those whom Coach Hawker will count on next season will be Tom Horsfman, Bob Sorenson, Byron Olson, and John Bulin. Cheerleaders The group of people most often forgotten when the time comes to pass out orchids for the excellent showings of Central's athletic teams is, without a doubt, the cheerleaders. These are the boys and girls who work so hard building up school spirit and starting the yells and cheers that let the athletes on the field know that the students are always behind them. This year's group of cheerleaders, which included Carol Jacobsen, Jackie Little, Roslyn Kloetzke, Carol Larson, Betty Moneyhun, Larry Christiansen, and Eugene Will, performed diligently. They were always ready to lead the cheers at the pep assemblies, and made up several new yells during the year. Their inexhaustible supply of energy and never-failing voices served to buoy up the confidence of the students whenever it began to lag. Fronl Row: Larson, Kloetzke, Little, Jacobsen.

The vorious activities offer enjoyable recreation for all participants. As a reward for excellence and participation, awards are given to those girls who have earned them. Stars are owarded to those who are members of championship teams or winners of individual sports. All girls who attain 600 points, have a C overage, and are in good standing in the building receive a Central C. With on additional 400 points and a C-f average, an All-City G.A.A. Emblem is awarded. These honors are worth working for, but not the sole purpose of participation in athletics. This year the activities were opened by a party given by the officers and cabinet to welcome the new members. The party was a success and this spirit of friendship and good sportsmanship continued throughout the entire school year. Cabinet President Pot Lomb Vice President Jean Meixner Secretary Carol Jacobsen BADMINTON One of the most successful sports at Central is badminton. Even though it has previously been a major sport, it broke the record this year for popularity. Stiff competition was offered to all who participated in the tournaments. Irene Urashi and Janet Harter ruled supremely over the Girls Doubles, and Irene teamed with Ed Szfengel to capture the Mixed Doubles Championship.

BASKETBALL Bosketboll has always been one of the most popular activities and this year was no exception. Its popularity was shown by the fact thot over sixty girls came out to participate in the sport. A tournament was drawn up so that each of the nine teams eventually ployed each other. The outstanding players were chosen from each team to play in an All-Star game. These All-Stars played a thrilling game which was a grand finale to the basketball season. Volleyball FRONT derson. Facing a field of tough contenders, the Sharpshooters emerged as the chompions of the 1952 G.A.A. Bas-ketboll Tournament. Special recognition should be given to this team, for their members are all sophomores who were taking part in a tournament of this type for the first time and playing agoinst older and more experienced teams.

Hitting a boll back and forth across a net suspended between two seven foot poles may not appear to be a sport which requires very much athletic ability,- however, anyone who has ever played volleyball knows that if isn't quite as easy as it looks. Teamwork is the all important thing when it comes to a good game of volleyball. Since teamwork can be fun, the girls who took port in the 1952 G.A.A. Volleyball Tournament found themselves having a good time os well as playing a good game. A Round Robin tournament was organized so that the four teams played every Tuesdoy and Thursday for five weeks. The Volleyball championship wos captured by the members of the Big Ten Team. This team has won the championship for the past three years, ever since the original team members were sophomores. FRONT ROW — Amundson, Jo obsen, Crosson. Gohde. Meixner, Sundby.

The ten girls on Central's swimming team learned the meaning of hard work in the long hours they spent in preparing for the All-City Meet in Norris Gym at the University of Minnesota. In order to take part in the city meet, the girls had to first qualify in the district meet. The events offered were speed swimming, diving, relay teams, and form strokes. The only one who measured up to the stiff competition offered by the other schools was Jean Miexner, who represented Central in the final school-wide meet. For the first time in the history of G.A.A. at Central, bowling was conducted as a major sport on an organized basis. In previous years only a few ventured to try their skill at bowling, but this year over fifty girls came out to take part in this activity. Teams were organized to compete for the highest team average. Tournaments were held every Tuesday for eight weeks. At the end of this time, the team consisting of Janet Kruse, Mary Lou Paul, Barbara Hanson, Darlene Krueger, Sally Miller and Barbara Monge emerged as the winners. Janet Kruse also holds the title for the highest single game. It was agreed by all the girls that competition of this type between teams stimulated their interest in bowling and should be continued in the future.

Every Wednesday after school the gym was a scene of vigorous practice on the part of over thirty girls who were all ambitious to make the golf team. Those girls who had the greatest persistence were usually among the ones who were rewarded a place on the team. Every girl who successfully completed the required number of practices was given the chance to try out for the team. Tryouts were held April 23, and the best eight girls were selected to compose the team, while the next four were made substitutes. These twelve girls were given golf privilege cards which entitled them to golf free at their home course. This team represented Central in the city-wide interschool golf tournaments. Another sport which was brought forth with the coming of agreeable weather wos tennis. Weekly lessons were given by Miss Slocum in the gym to prepare the beginners before sending them out to try their skill on a tennis court. These weekly practices also gave the more advanced players an opportunity to drill on the fundamentals of tennis. After meeting the required standards, each girl was entered in a tournament. This tournament was organized info two classes,-one for beginners, and one for advanced players. In this way, the competition was more even. The matches were played at the Powderhorn Park tennis courts. The winners determined by this tournament are the girls who will try to win for Central in the city-wide tournament held next fall.

SECOND ROW-Joon Sohlin. Joyce Flink HOMECOMING 1951 Anticipation was in the air the day Dorothy Findell was chosein to reign over our 1951 Homecoming festivities.. Her gracious attendants were Joyce Flink, Janet Petersen, Joan Sahlin and Gloria Kielbock. How can we forget the glamour and excitement of our 1951 Homecoming? Polarize the Polars! was the theme of the. day. The activities commenced with the grand march, followed by the coronation of Queen Dorothy. Then the winners of the Pioneer Day costume contest received their prizes from our Queen. A lively program followed, including dancing by Jackie Little, a song by Harriet Hill, a pantomime by Nancy Rude, and finally a Charleston number danced to the music of Button Up Your Overcoat by a girls' chorus. Bill Phelps held the program together as master of ceremonies. 52 As we sat huddled together in the stands before the football game that evening, we felt the first sharp hint of winter. The cold seemed to vanish, however, with the mounting excitement of the contest as Central triumphed over previously undefeated North, 21-2. The Indian pow-wow during the half and the performance of the colorfully clad band are still vivid in our memories. Homecoming of 1951 was climaxed by a dance to the music of Dick Erickson and his bond. Remember how crowded the girls' gym was and how beautiful it looked under the soft lights and a ceiling of red and blue crepe paper? A perfect ending to a perfect day! HOMECOMING Under the Spotlight! This year's Homecoming program featured an attractive display of talent and comedy which both amused and entertained us. Just one of the many exciting numbers on the program was Loy Ann, giving a colorful baton twirling exhibition. Other students co-operated on the script writing, scenery, and direction. The theme, Polarize the Polars , was carried out in the stage setting which depicted the North Pole, complete with snow, Eskimo girls. Northern Lights, and on igloo. VCAKj The Queen Awards Prizes! Queen Dorothy bestows the prize of a box of candy to a colonial maid. Marie Fitzwoter, who was one of the ten winners of the Pioneer Day Contest. The costumes in this pageant were judged on their originality and authenticity. Selecting winners was difficult because all the costumes were so quaint and colorful. The final prizes went to a representative group of trail blazers, colonists, Indians, and Southern belles, who received both a smile and a box of candy from her highness. Pioneer Day Contest The old Central High School custom of dressing up for Homecoming Day was revived again this year with great enthusiasm. Many of us dashed home and donned our grandparents' long forgotten finery that we discovered in an old attic trunk, and others busied themselves with thread and needle to create a cos-rume of yesteryear to wear on Pioneer Day. Here we see a group of Centrolites posing in their assorted array of old fashioned styles and re-living the colorful era of our rough and tumble frontier days. .HOMECOMING Judgment Doy. Cupid played a big part in the News Assembly. He was the overseer of some of the greatest love scenes in history. Anthony and his Cleopatra were entertained by dancing slave girls; Lil' Abner and Daisy Mae did coy advertising for the News. Order was maintained by four somberly clad gentlemen , who disposed of their victims in a unique manner. Numbers were deftly worked in with the famous romances of Don Juan, Frank Sinatra, and Romeo and Juliet. Centralion Day — the theme, Show Stoppers, was carried out by the presentation of the hit numbers of the past three decades. A fast-clipping show included a group of gobs pining through There Is Nothing Like a Dame , and a two-faced couple dancing to Pretty Baby . Show Boat was represented by a touching rendition of Bill . Other Stoppers presented by the quadruple bill of master of ceremonies were.- a pantomime of a young miss singing Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend , and You Can't Get A Man With a Gun done in professional style, a burning Friendship by three witches, two vocal numbers from Oklahoma and the piano version of Slaughter On Tenth Avenue .

Singing carols in room 409 There was o great deal of Yuletide spirit and holidoy festivity at Central during the week before Christmas vacation. One of the outstanding traditions of the season is decora-ing the halls and homerooms with Christmas frees and colorful ornaments. The twinkling tree in the front hall was adorned in all its seasonal beauty by the co-operative efforts of the Student Council and the News Staff. The students and faculty took part in the traditional singing of carols in the auditorium. The Central Choir sang selections from Handel's oratorio, the Messiah . During the day the individual classes did not forget either. From almost every door were heard the strains of favorite carols. Homerooms celebrated with coke and cookie parties. The Mistletoe Mixer, sponsored by the Student Council and featuring the music of Burie Carmichael's band, was the Finale to a wonderful pre-holiday week. A new innovation in decorating was presented in big balloons and romantic mistletoe. A ceiling of mistletoe green and white was suspended overhead. Remember the holiday greetings of Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as the crowd dispersed for the long awaited vacation? Tired but happy, everyone left to begin the holiday season.

Intermission Time During the intermission, refreshments were served in the lunchroom consisting of pop, ice cream and chocolate cake. We are the first senior class to celebrate our senior party in the newly decorated lunchroom. The dance began with the Grand March led by Carol Jacobsen and Dovid Lotterell. A polka and a schottische followed. The rest of the night was given over to slow dances and lindies . A huge blonde Daisy Mae, Li'l Abner riding a little donkey. Mammy and Pappy Yokum, Salome their pig, and dozens of little shmoos decorated the gym walls. At 11:30 the dance come to on end as Ron Johnson and his band began the closing number. I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise • Phyllis Hullett stole the show when she performed a pantomime of Georges Gu-tary singing, I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise . She also performed several clever imitations of famous movie stars. On the Friday afternoon before the dance, the social and service committees of the senior class had fun drawing the Dogpatch characters,-and stringing the gym with red, blue, green, orange and yellow crepe paper. Huge white balloons swung merrily to and fro in the center of the gym. Dozens of little Kigmy balloons were strung across the ceiling. We all remarked that the gym never looked better. Cop and Gown Day is an event that every senior looks forward to with much eagerness. Early in the year we handed in our head, chest, and height measurements to insure good fits. The cost of rental was covered in the senior budget, but some of us desired to keep the tassels on our caps as souvenirs. These cost a few cents extra. In May we stepped into our graduation attire and paraded around the school greeting friends and getting our Centralians autographed. It is a familiar sight to see the seniors wearing their caps and gowns to classes. In fact it is a sign that commencement is right around the corner. Here we see a group of students getting Mr. Krueger's autograph. SENIORS HAVE THEIR DAY Pride in one's school is never more inspired than when the records of past achievements are displayed in the form of gold and silver trophies. We have a special room at Central set aside for the express purpose of exhibiting our athletic awards and souvenirs. Some of them dote back to the early days of our sports activities, and though many of them are old and tarnished, each trophy has a story to tell. Recently it has been voted by the Student Council to move some of the newer trophies into the display case in the front hall for us to admire. Here some students gaze at the golden treasures of Central's achievements. Prospective occupations ore studied by graduating seniors in anticipation of their entry into the business world. These students are attending a conference on retail work Some other conferences attended were in the fields of medicine, business, education, journalism, engineering, law and social work. These job conferences were held during the two weeks from March 24 to April 4. They were sponsored by the counseling division at the Board of Education office. This division worked in close harmony with the teachers of the various schools, who in turn presented this unit in business occupations to their classes. Look Out —Wet Paint! The 1952 school year marked the completion of a two-year remodeling program, which gave Central a complete inside repainting job and a new, modern lunchroom. In August 1950, a crew of painters moved into the building to begin their job. During the first part of that school year, ladders, scaffolds, and canvas floorcover-ings became a standard sight in the halls, the clossrooms, and the auditorium. By March, however, the job was completed at a cost of $69,842, and the school returned to its normal schedule with the addition of bright, cheerful walls and ceilings. If was the second phaso of the project, however, in which Central took the greatest pride; for the new lunchroom was truly the school's own accomplishment When the Board of Education decided to use Central's lunchroom as an experi-mental model, the machinery swung into high gear immediately with the committees of students, teachers, ond parents investigating such problems as lighting, furniture. dishes, and floor tile Actual construction work began in the summer of 1951; and its completion the next spring found Central with a new, step-saving kitchen, new tables, and chairs, fluorescent lighting, and what certoinly iould bo called the finest, most up-to-date lunchroom in the city of Minneapolis. 60 The Rockwood family ond Mn. Adomi, The Guge family at home. JANUARY THAW January Thaw , directed by Mrs. Mary Adams, proved to be a theatrical success, and fun both for the audience and the cast, the Rockwoods from Connecticut and the Gages from New York battle over the possession of an old dilapidated farm house owned by Jonathan and Mathilda Rockwood. Intrigue develops when their son Matt supposedly elopes with Barbara, the daughter of Marge and Herbert Gage. Suspense and comedy go hand-in-hand throughout the sparkling, fast-moving story, which was acclaimed by critics on Broadway. Among the 14 character parts, Jerry Ness played the lead, Herbert Gage, a patient and hard-working author. His wife, the scatter-brained Marge, was portrayed by Ruth Ostenso; and Opal Steen and Carol Sandquist were cast as the Gage children, Paula and Sarah. The character leads starred Jim Pearson and Hazel Gunther as Jonathan and Mathilda. Jim played the stubborn old New England settler, and Hazel played his spry little wife who simply worships her darling boy. Matt, a gentleman of dubious reputation. This part was taken by Bill Phelps. The lovers in the play are Barbara and George, played by Gretchen Van Galder and John Scholl. Bella Elliot was cast as Frieda, a self-willed maid employed by the Gages,- and Charles Whiting appeared as the quiet old Uncle Walter. Other members of the cast were Bill Smith, as Loomis the lawyer,- Karl Heim-berg, as Carson the sheriff; and George Lindmeier, as a local constable. loomii ond Goge hoke on the big dool.

This includes making arrangement for parties, caps and gowns, the class play, the senior banquet, and anything else that pertains to graduation. These cabinet members were selected by the class officers from the thirteen senior homerooms to represent our class, and plan for these annual senior events. This year's cabinet started their work early in the school year by appointing their committee members on a voluntary basis, and holding regular meetings to get their business under way. The regular cabinet meetings were held approximately every other week on Tuesday morning at 8:00. At these sessions, the class officers and cabinet discussed the school activities, and any other important problems that arose. Miss Kicher acted as advisor to the cabinet.

They were judged on their high scholarship, personality, leadership, and service, as well as their sports ability, and participation in extra-curricular activities. The students selected these twelve seniors. These are indeed representative Centralites, for in their ranks we find basketball, football, and baseball stars,- members of the honor society and the student council; and class officers. Participation in all phases of school and extra-curricular activities marks them as real leaders and examples to their classmates. We salute you, then, representative Centralites,for the honor that has been bestowed upon you. 65 THE HALL OF FAME Friendliest Ruth Ostenso Deon Monge Most Likely to Succeed Howord Sanden Janet Johnson Most Talkative Ooris Hallbeck Best Dressed Sally Miller Jim Larson Most Talented Greg Schuller Jackie Little George Lindmeier Jean Blomquist Best Personality Dorothy Findell Best All Around Margaret Tierney John Potzwald Peppiest LeRoy Jackson Carol Larson 66 THE HALL OF FAME Denny Monge Janice La Zorre Prettiest Hair Barbara Booth Best Dancer Chuck Peahl Cutest Margaret Dumas Nicest Smile Gigi Gianoulis Mike Manuel Prettiest Eyes Cloudia Staab Bill Stedman Most Athletic Cloyt Burkstrand Paul Quam Erma Anderson Wittiest Al Levitt 67 SENIOR HONOR STUDENTS Central High School is proud of its superior scholastic standards and of the hard-working students who uphold our academic traditions. This year we again salute Central's top ten, and congratulate our Valedictorians and Salutatorian for their commendable achievements. These are the seniors-whose intellects and lofty ambitions have won them praise and recognition, as well as top honors in their class. It is worthy to note that this is the third time in twenty years thot Central has had three Valedictorians Valedictorians Jacob Birnberg James Pearson Howard Sanden Salutatorian Hazel Gunther — 1932, 1938, and now in 1952. In the previous years, the three aforementioned Valedictorians were two girls and one boy; but this year we have three boys sharing the top scholastic honors, probably for the first time in the history of our school.
