0T 1 N V f C5 7 o-a CO 0YA t ' MHC vn(p5 in DEDICATION Three decades is a long expanse of time for a person to devote to a school and its students, but we at Central are fortunate enough to have such a person. For these many years he has diligently attended to his teaching duties, as well as adding his bit of humor and anecdotes which have made a sometimes dreary day into one of happiness and enjoyment. His stress on sincerity of character, which he himself daily exhibits, has found its way into the hearts of many of his students. His wisdom in the ways of the world has helped and encouraged all who have come to know him. Truly, we are fortunate to have such a deserving man in our midst. Indeed, in him we have “a friend whom we know all about, and like just the same.” To you, Mr. Kuenster, we dedicate the 1953 Centralian with our heart-felt thanks for your friendship and service. FORWARD Welcome aboard the Centralian Showboat! Welcome, actors and crew and friends along the shore. Here displayed for your admiration you will see the proud achievements of a cast numbering hundreds of talented young men and women. Athletes, artists, musicians, actors, writers, scholars have all contributed to make this a great adventure. Included in our goodly company are winners of many honors, stars of varied performances, doers of diverse deeds. Included also are men and women who have given generously of their wisdom, their skill, and their belief in youth. All of us hope you will find our Showboat performance worthy of the best Central High tradition. -7- ci 3- (SOD OD CM) QsD glg Q£1 ofl Od cm a® [MD LCD SqJ an 52 m2 D=S sen m2 n n do cm or0 c 8 0=0 (ODD oS J cm Qsll ofcl n t f't Pointing the way to a successful Showboat journey is the O ' faculty and the administration.

V 8 Dear Centrai.ites: Living with you this year, coining to know you and being accepted as one of you has been a happy and invigorating experience. I like your pride in the traditions of your school; I have learned to share in that pride. But I feel even a greater sense of pride in you, the student body and the faculty of this year 1953 — pride in your willingness to share responsibility, your ability to meet new situations, your sense of fairness and your cooperative spirit. Problems we shall always have — they are part and parcel of learning how to live. But problems can be solved when they are met with the fine qualities of spirit which arc daily evidenced within these walls and within this community by parents and friends. With affection and deep appreciation I extend to you my greetings and earnest wishes for all that is good in the days to come. Your friend, Caroline Barron As the faculty and administration of our school bid farewell to you seniors, we realize that you are going out into a society which needs a great deal of improvement. We hope that we have provided you with the necessary background of information and skills so that you may attack the problems of life in an intelligent manner. As the years roll by, your remembrances of us will grow ever more dim. but we hope that you will never forget us entirely. During the years that lie ahead, we shall expect you to achieve those things which lead to success and happiness. Horace Mann once said, ‘‘Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” May your future be filled with victories. Good luck. Carl Anderson Front rou left to right: A. Flugaur.

Queen Sandra Monahan, Joyce Monroe, Pat Kicmen HOMECOMING October 10. 1952. was encircled in red in the ship’s log. Homecoining was the biggest event of the year. Plans were begun early in the. fall, and everyone aboard was eagerly awaiting its arrival. The final calendar of events stretched from early morning to midnight. At 8:30 A.M., students and teachers dressed in pioneer costumes were judged for the best outfits in each class. Later, during the program. the winners were presented to the Queen and her court. The “beards” of Central, both faculty and students, were examined for strength and length; but the judges were unable to reach a final decision, and the prize was divided equally. The theme of the program. “Queen Sandra’s Court.” cleverly bound the individual acts into the command performance of visiting envoys. The Prime Minister of the court, in reality the master of ceremonies, formally introduced the acts to the Queen and the audience. Miss Barron, appropriately dressed in old-fashioned finery, commenced the program with a spirited word of welcome. Each act was something special. The dance routines, the songs, the music, and the jokes; each holds a special memory of the wonderful Homecoming program. Central versus Washburn! The old rivals were at each other again. The slogan, “Wash Washburn. really foretold the outcome o' the game; for the Pioneers whipped the Mil ers with finesse. Evening, and the grand finale arrived Spotlights played about the gaily decorated gym, giving an air of excitement to the dance. Toni Grise’s band filled the room with music that filled one to the brim with happiness, and sent one dancing homeward in complete joy, remembering the wonderful Homecoming of 1952. 16 Get it on straight, Dave. Irresislable Jerry Quite a handful The Winnahs! The Follies Bergere Who's nailin' on whom ? — SHIP WITH BOUGHS OF HOLLY in the act of decking The evergreen tree has always been a symbol of Christmas. When a Centralite beholds the Christmas tree situated in its traditional spot in the front hall, and breathes the rich evergreen scent; he knows that Christmas has truly arrived. This year the tree was larger and more beautiful than ever, and the whole school seemed to be caught up in the universal spirit. Throughout the building, various clubs and organizations were carrying out a wide variety of Christmas plans. The choir carolled in downtown Minneapolis and gave their annual Christmas concert. The Hi-Y and Triettes gave of their time to cheer the people in hospitals. The Spanish Club put on a typical Spanish Christmas parly, including the breaking of the pinata. Another school organization, the Mimes and Mummers. presented the “Star of Wonder,” a Christmas play. The story took place in an out-of-the-way railroad station which was tended by a frank, but kindly old maid, portrayed by Sonjie Pearson. A worldly young couple, Merrie Peterson and Bob Andrus, were forced to wait in the station and complained loudly about the inconveniences of Christmas. They ignored the friendly advances of a small orphan boy, Dennis Ryan. Then suddenly the star of Bethlehem shone through the window, and in its beams they saw the nativity scene as it was two thousand years ago. The vision disappeared, leaving the couple with a renewed faith in Christmas and a deeper understanding of its meaning. The play ended with their offer to adopt the small orphan boy. The Christmas gaiety reached its highest point Thursday night when the Holiday Hop was held. The dance was the first to take place in the lunchroom given by the Student Council. The music was provided by Jack Kaufman's band. That's singing? — CENTRALIAN PROGRAM The curtains opened and an antiquated Showboat came into view; thus the theme for the 1953 Cen-traiian was revealed; and thus our advertising program began. The first number on the program was a selection by the Roosevelt Rocketles. Then Ron Gohde. master of ceremonies, introduced Harriet Hill, who rendered “Just My Bill.” Following her was George Traftcante of Edison, who played “Malaguena,” on the accordion. After this, our genial M. C. told a joke and presented Karen Skomars, who did a record pantomime to “I Wanna Be Loved By You.” Then our own Carla Temple sang. “I Can't Help Lovin' That Man of Mine.” Pat Drice of South danced onto the stage. Next Central's Karl Peterson sang “Old Man River.” Dickie Johnson from Folwell Junior High School delighted all of us with several songs, and the Central choir ended the entertainment with “Dry Bones’’ and “My Lord. What A Morning.” The editors closed the program by presenting the Centralian staff, and by encouraging everyone to buy a yearbook. The program, a success, students went back to their advisories and eagerly subscribed to the 1953 Centralian. The Shou hoat Finale, 19 Atomic bomb! Checking locks. Construction Crew!

SENIOR CLASS PLAY The underclassmen were Elaine Jackson, as giddy Midge Murphy, and Jimmy Jackson as sleepy Faversham Lightly. The “drah-matic” characters were Tallulah, played by Margaret Pratt, and Miss Ogilvie, the dramatic coach, played by Jo Anne Green. Other teachers were Sandra Monahan as high-strung Miss Goodin, Muriel Hutchins as sensitive Miss Clendenning, Ray Isely as strict Mr. Harj er. and Bill Herlrer as congenial Coach Guthrie. Others in the cast were acidulous Miss Dill. Marilou Pearson; Napoleonic “Tick” Tock. Elwin Rogers; slovenly Mrs. Ratchet. Sonjie Pearson, and pompous Elmer B. Ames. Melvin Grimsby. Coach for the production was Mrs. Alberta Noble. On Friday. May 15. the class play, “No More Homework.” was presented. The setting of the play was the principal's office at Elmer B. Ames High School. When the principal, vice-principal, and school secretary were unable to be in school for a day. the student council officers were asked to take over the school. Main conflicts developed between the pupils and the teachers throughout the story which combined comedy, romance and mystery. The lead was played by Mary Van Slyke who was Pamela Jones, the student council president. Bob Andrus acted the part of Buzz Bailey. Pamela's boy friend. A flirtatious trouble-maker. Shalimar Ames, who tried to win Buzz's attention, was portrayed by Penny Christ-nagel. Another very forward person was Ronald Sassoon taken by Kenny Bauman. SENIOR PROM After a week’s uncertainty, the Senior Prom was held as scheduled at the Automobile Club. Dressed in their finest evening clothes, the seniors were unanimous in their gaiety of spirit. Even the rain did not succeed in dampening the festive mood. The Automobile Club, situated on a bluff overlooking the Minnesota River, proved to be a fine location for the annual dance. With music provided by Dick Finch’s band, everyone danced and enjoyed themselves without thinking of school work drudgeries. When the band played the last number, many realized more fully that their senior year was fast drawing to a memorable close. 22 ' I 1 ll Ml a' i'll f l W fill -1' rSi it WWi nw LOT , I K ' f J „Of u U ■f{ i V r f i. ! rf _ • • i yf W V' :XM w Uliliiil Irene UniU, Erica Robinson, Jeanne Moe m Mi I ,v Pat Biros The hard working crew on the Showboat worthy of a curtain call is the Centralite cheerleaders.

The News offers many of our fellow shipmates an opportunity to learn the basic background for good journalism. Such things as how to write an opening lead, how to write and count headlines, and the makeup of the human interest story, interview, feature story, and the editing of a column are readily acquired. Under the able advising of Mr. Mulligan, who has served in his position for thirty-two years, and the genuine interest taken by staff members, the News has been able to capture top honors in national competition; its latest laurel being the All American Honor Rating awarded it by the National Scholastic Press Association. One of the staff's more important problems has been that of subscription to the News. However, two assemblies, one in the fall and the other at the beginning of the second semester made the solution easy. The News is issued every other Wednesday, and everyone on board waits anxiously to receive his copy and learn of the newest fads, latest gossip, and how our athletic teams have done.

Under the direction of our capable editors. Joyce Monroe and Elwin Rogers, and with the help of Sir. Johnson, the staff has been striving to put out a top-notch yearbook. The “Centralian ’ has had an “A’’ rating from National Scholastic Press Association of the University of Minnesota for the last ten years and has won an award from Columbia University. This year. too. the stuff is hoping that the 53 Centralian will receive this high award. Memlrers of the staff were assigned to the different sections of the book, and deadlines were set for completion of these sections. The deadlines crept up quickly and many times the staff found no pages ready to send to the printer. Many staff members “burned the midnight oil trying to finish the speci-fied number of pages. After the deadlines were met and the book went to the printer, the staff relaxed while Earl Nielsen, the business manager, worked frantically to make financial ends meet. When the proof-reading was finished, the job was up to the printer who always was patient with the sometimes slow-moving staff. We hope this 1953 Centralian will be a lasting remembrance of your school years at Central High School. We re really not working, just posing. 27 HONOR SOCIETY This organization is for those aboard the Showboat who attain a high standard in scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Established in the days of Thomas Jefferson as the Phi Beta Kappa Society, Central's chapter is a junior member of this association. Among the activities undertaken this year were a sophomore tea, the annual evening induction ceremony of new members, student tutoring, and the gathering of material for a history of Central.

Voices will always rise and fall upon the waves. We hope that the ideals of our passengers will ring from the shores of most distant lands only to echo and re-echo in the coves of time. Meml ers participate in debate and extemporaneous speaking. Their accomplishments are measured by a point system.

To accommodate the increasing need for educational films, an advisory composed of mostly sophomores and guided by a few juniors and seniors, handles the projection of movies. Besides educational films such as: “The Molecular Theory of Matter and “Making Electricity, ’ movies of a lighter vein such as: “Drums Along the Mohawk and “Tale of Two Cities” are shown. The 16 mm. sound projector is most often used, while the 16 mm. art projector is used l y the English department. Besides the 16 mm., the art department uses the opaque projector. Supervised by Mr. Hovey. the Projection Crew works hard to give the students at Central an essential part of their education. PROJECTION CREW Ron One: Parker. Kickholt Smith. Mewhinney.

C..............Carol Mathews In spite of the many and varied Showboat activities, Triettes is the only official social organization open solely to girls. The success of the membership drive started the year off with a bang. The Recognition sen-ice officially welcomed the new members. Miss Marshall, director of the Y.. gave u thought-provoking talk on the meaning of Y. W. C. A. membership. Thus the year began. As a member club of the Minneapolis Y-Teens, the teen department of the Young Women’s Christian Association strove to carry out its purpose, service, fellowship, and fun. These ideals were expressed in the programs for the year, under the theme, “If I can grow as a Y-Teen” Self-improvement proved to be a major topic during the year, including a hair stylist, make-up advice, and accessory planning. These subjects prepared the members for the Spring Style Show, which was presented to the school the second week in May. Service projects included caroling at old people’s homes during Christmas and ushering for the Ice Follies. “Camps for Korea was the slogan for the World Fellowship Drive. The total contribution from the city far exceeded the primary goal of $300. Central raised funds for our contribution by sponsoring the “Cupids Cut-up. a Valentine's Day dance. On a city wide basis, the International Festival also raised money for Korea. Row One: Mathew . Gohde, Bjerke, Bauer. Frail. Row Two: Rowing. Hankins. Berg-strand. Clement . Row Three: Mnrri-on.

Having as its purpose the extension of good will in the school as well as in the community, the Hi-Y is one of the more important of our Showboat organizations. The platform on which the Hi-Y is based helps in all-around character building, for it emphasizes clean scholarship, clean living, clean speech, and clean sportsmanship. Because of this platform and their interest in the welfare of the community, Hi-Y members give of their service willingly and earnestly. They delivered talks on behalf of the Community Chest in many of the neighborhood churches ! csides actually helping in the collection of funds. The March of Dimes Drive, too, Reading fem the riot act. offered an opportunity to serve their locale. Many memt crs canvassed more than their necessary area in soliciting money for this worthy drive. Aside from these worthy services, the Hi-Y has had many social events during the year. The Stags, one of the two chapters, sponsored a dance in our lunchroom. The Best Girl's Banquet, honoring the boys' mothers, is one of the annual affairs. The final party of the year was a combined meeting of the Hi-Y and Triettes in which the graduating seniors were saluted. This year the Hi-Y has had two new advisors. Mr. Dale Davidson and Mr. Owen Manchester, secrctan of the South Central Branch of the Y.M.C.A. Much of the success of the past year is owed directly to these men. 31 “Convincing the Clerks” Fine Christmas plays are a tradition at Central and this year was no exception. In this picture the elderly station agent instills the proper Christmas spirit into the Clark’s souls. “Roll Up Your Sleeves!” Perhaps the most important duty of the Red Cross is taking pledges for blood. During the November Open House these girls from Central's chapter volunteered to solicit pledges from our visitors. Here, captured by the magic of the camera, are recorded some shots of our Showboat organizations. These people have moved down our halls performing their services or entertaining our passengers. “My, What an Ugly Face You Have” La muchacha romper a' la pin-nata, that is. if she is lucky enough to hit it in three tries. The pinata is a Christmas custom in all Spanish-speaking countries. 32 “Your Eggs, Ma'am A scene from out of our Show-boat dramatic offerings shows the effective characterizations that are typical of all such theatrical performances. Onions in a Petunia Patch. Time out from a busy schedule of taking undergraduate pictures is enjoyed by some of the Cen-tralian Staff as they bask in the late summer sun. The voyage has been made more comfortable and enjoyable through their efforts. We hope these familiar faces will remind you of the many activity-filled hours spent aboard our Showboat. A Bunch of “Crepe Hangers Among the various Student Council activities is the decorating for dances and parties. Here, Student Council members brighten the girls' gym for the Homecoming Dance. 33 At the helm of the Banking Staff are: Anita Vanasek Fat Clements Linda Bouillon Barbara Norris BANKING One of the more important things aboard our Showboat is that of finance. This phase of our Showboat journey is supervised by Miss Helen Zangcr's banking staff. This group consists of a representative from each homeroom whose duty it is to take charge of the banking every Tuesday morning. Each member of the group handles his duty capably and well. Aside from the actual banking, this organization tries to create further interest in the benefits of thrift and in the old adage attributed to Benjamin Franklin, “ a penny saved is a penny earned.” Row One: Vanasek.

Within a few weeks we shall be wishing ‘‘Buen Viaje” to those landlubbers forsaking our Showboat for a three week trip to old Mexico. Finances for the journey were earned by the sale of Christmas cards, two rummage sales, a paper sale, and a scrap drive. Other activities during the year were a Spanish supper at the Casa Coronada. and the annual Christmas party with the traditional breaking of the “pinata.” Miss Liskey, the club’s adviser, was responsible for much of the enthusiasm that made the year successful.

Use more expression!” If you’ve ever eavesdropped at the auditorium door after school, you've probably heard the echo of these words. On these occasions certain members of the Mimes and Mummers were learning how to impart their feelings to large and critical Showboat audiences. Through much practice and concentration, club members develop poise and naturalness of expression. The once tedious job of rehearsal becomes enjoyable, and the play becomes an important part of the experience of each performer. The amateur actors also learn make-up techniques and gain resourcefulness in finding the necessary costumes and properties of each play.

At times the signal is not heard, and at times something goes wrong with the power; but the stage crew always comes through. Before each assembly program they spend many busy hours planning and arranging stage settings and lighting. Although it is small, this group performs its duties as well as larger crews. Directed by Mr. Ralph, the Stage Crew forms an important hut silent part of our Showboat personnel. Smith. Anderson. Sorensen.

CHOIR As we cruise clown the river, the sound of happy voices floats over the breeze. The Choir has done much to make our voyage more pleasant here at Central. This group participated in the 1,000 voice chorus which sang the “Elijah” on February 3, under the direction of Antal Dorati and with the accompaniment of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. Certainly all those who took part in this thrilling event will never forget it. The “Elijah” was again presented at Eastertime by the combined choirs of Central and Roosevelt. Among the featured soloists was our own Carl Anderson, Assistant Principal. This was a difficult feat, but both schools came through with flying colors. Highlighting the Spring events was the “Nutcracker Suite.” With the combination of piano, harp, ballet, and choir, this beautiful pageant waltzed its way into our hearts. With various trips to schools around Minneapolis, the year ended for our Showboat musicians. Almquist. Anderson, Andreas. Barton, Bratrud, Burns, Burud, Cheney, Christopherson, Eck, Edwardton. Foote.

Every morning the deck of the Showboat vibrates with the music of our band. For the first few minutes confusion reigns as the cornet and clarinet players race up and down the scale. Then, under the baton of Mr. Miles, the pulse of a march sends ripples out over the water. The hand provides music for our many off-shore activities: football, basketball games and the stirring processional to the throne of the Homecoming Queen. The accomplishments of this group were brought to notice in the Spring Concert, an annual event for which preparation is begun early in the year. The program on that evening of February twenty-sixth included the following: Tschaikowsky’s “March slave.” “Pictures at an Exhibition” by Manssorgsky and “Komin Susser Tod” by Bach. A climax of the season was reached and a long-anticipated event accomplished when the band made a trip, playing a concert at Excelsior enroule to Hinckley, Minnesota, there to play another concert. Since music is of the greatest importance on a Showboat and the efforts and accomplishments of this group so appreciated we take our hats off to our Showboat band. HALL MONITORS These are our Showboat policemen, who faithfully patrol and watch the necessary areas within our building. To maintain order, these guards combine firmness and authority with tact and friendliness. The Hall Monitors prohibit unauthorized persons from leaving the building. The lunchroom monitors keep people from leaving the lunchroom with food, and the restroom monitors preserve quiet in the restrooms. Supervised by Miss Kicher, these groups play a large part in making Central a better place. Row One: Gohde, Rodbcrg, Miss Kicher, Nielsen. Joseph, Condon. Row Two: Vanasrk, Baker, Moore, Mayeda.

Each hour of the day a few students have given up their study hours to serve as library monitors. Some of their duties are to take attendance, return passes to study halls, and keep order in the library. We are grateful to them for their faithful work and for helping our library to run smoothly and efficiently. Row One: Joos, Sheggerud, Nelson, Fetrer. Row Two: Peterson, Chapman. Hansen.

New members are chosen on a selective basis by the group itself. This year, as in the past, the Singers provided musical entertainment on many occasions. During the MEA meetings, they were on hand, offering selections to the teachers from all over the state. Our own Thanksgiving program was more enjoyable because of their participation. Parents. teachers, and students were entertained by them at one of the spring meetings. Although only five years old. this group has proved its worth by the many services given, not only to our school, hut also to the community. Left to right: I.aguhan, Peterson. Bart. Ray. Grammas.

The voice of the students is expressed strongly by the representatives of the Student Council. Under the direction of Miss Helen Richer, this active governing body has brought about many changes and improvements throughout Central. The Council discussed and took action on many problems that affected the student body. A major issue was the curfew law. Other discussions dealt with civil defense, and student parking on the school grounds. Our lunchroom Itccamc the attraction of the year and improvements were made continuously. A contract was made with Columbia and Capitol recording companies to obtain the latest records each week for our listening enjoyment during the lunch hours. Dancing was also made possible in the lunchroom. A new record player and speed attachment was purchased for the school dances. The Homecoming and Christmas dances, sponsored annually by the Student Council, were very successful. A new money raising venture was the sale of the colorful football pennant pins during Homecoming. The Council also sold its school book covers, and after two years of preparation, completed the revision of the Bed and Blue Handbook. Central's Student Council sent representatives to the State Student Council Convention in Mankato. Central also played an active part in the All City Student Council meetings, with Jim Schimschock as All City treasurer, and Nick Grammas also representing us. These activities have contributed much to our Showboat journey of 1953. 40 RED CROSS Row One: Moore. Swanson. Mis Legate, Perron. O’Brien. Row Tuv: llawkinson. Thomas, Welsh, I.undbrrg, Vanasek.

Advised by Miss Legate, this council is composed of representatives from each advisory. This group worked diligently to spread the spirit of good will and helpfulness to everyone in our city, nation, and country. Among service projects were filling Christmas gift boxes for children overseas, and knitting bedsocks for soldiers. To aid the organization, Mr. Ralph’s workshop classes made bedside tables for hospital patients. The choir contributed an album of records to the Veterans’ Hospital. A group of girls spent an hour each week working with chil- dren at the Elliot Park Neighborhood House. To show our desire to help our soldiers overseas, pledges for blood were taken. To make a successful year, money was raised through the sale of pencils bearing the Central High School imprint and through the March fund drive. A contest was held among homerooms to see which one would be first to contribute S17 to the drive. Homeroom 313 won an unusual prize for doing this. In addition to giving to this drive, students and faculty gave generously to the Holland flood relief fund. Indeed, a student at Central can l� e proud of belonging to the Junior Red Cross. Are eleven heads heller than one? 41 N In Showboat days much of the body-building exercise was done by rowing and plain- hard work. Aboard our Show-boat, howevery this is accomplished by fun on the football field and gymnasium. Not only body-buildingy but the instilling °f good-sportsmanship is also handled by our coaches. 43 um HOW I Ed Nagel, Condon. Wells, Doyle, C. Johnson. Waters, Barton. Robinson, Eide, Brown.

The Central Pioneers finished the season in second place for the second consecutive year with a six win and a one loss record. The Pioneers only downfall came in a 7-6 upset at the hands of Henry. Having an average of twenty-one points per game and boasting the best defensive record in the city play, the Pioneers were found to be tough opposition all season. A rather green team at the beginning of the year, they worked hard all season making themselves a hard-hitting veteran club. Without the fine coaching and great deal of patience from Joe Markley, Gohde picks up interference on kickoff return. Wes “Mitch” Mitchell, and Ed Nagel this achievement would have been entirely impossible. The many returning juniors and the up-and-coming young sophomores make Joe Markley 8 outlook on next year’s season a bright one. In the last three years Central has only lost two football games. In 1950 the Pioneers were undefeated champs. In 1951 the Centralites lost to Southwest 20-14 losing their crown. The 1952 Pioneers missed their championship chance dropping the Henry game.

But as time went along the team won more and more, fighting their way into the semi-finals of District 17 play. The Pioneers were a threat to all opponents all year. They faced Roosevelt’s big five into overtime, finally losing 54 to 55. Later on in the season they went into overtime with Washburn only to be turned away again. Not giving up. Central knocked Vocational off and moved into a two-way tie with Henry- The next game was against Henry and the Pats fell at the hands of Central. In the District play Central opened with Henry, the team they just defeated in their last game. This game was said to be Central’s best game all season. Next, Cen- tral met Twin City Champs Roosevelt. Many thought this might be a good chance for the Pioneers, but the Teddies were just too big under the backboard. Central was eliminated from play for the season. Coach Whitey Thoreson worked hard with the boys all year. Many of the boys will be gone next year, but the hardwoodmen will have returning starter Big Jack Roberts and Dick Robinson. Like many other teams. Central had a star on the squad. Jerry Rodberg, captain, all-city and all-district. Jerry was one of the hardest working boys on the team and his work and determination paid off. Other members of the starters are forwards Ted Lundberg, Roger Throndsen, and guard Ron Gohde. First Row: Gallagher, Buri coach, Condon, Schrieber, I Doyle.

Dick Burg placed All-City for the second consecutive year and finished second for the scoring title with 21 points. Burg's playing center with Chuck Condon and Gene Moore on the wings provided a high-scoring front line, backed up by the two stalwart defensemen, John Bulin and Waylon Larson. Goalie Tom Matthews proved to be a tough man to score on by making five stops throughout the season.

Mel Johnson in his second year as coach is doing a fine job of getting the team in shape in such a short time. Many of the boys from last year's squad are now playing on the varsity. This year’s squad has man prospects who will make fine varsity members next year. This year Central's Harriers finished a strong sixth place in the city cross country meet. Dropping both scheduled meets against North and South did not discourage Coach Hawker, for he saw new prospects loom up to holster his hopes for the big meets ahead. In the city meet two boys, Jim Sweet and Tom Horst man, finished well up near the leaders. This year's seven lettermen are: seniors, Tom Horst-man, Frank Mayeda, John Bulin. Byron Olson; underclassmen, Jim Sweet, Leon Cheney, Tom Monahan. 54 SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL Finishing the season with an 8-2 record enabled Coach Bill Hawkers’ team to finish in second place in the City Sophomore Basketball league. This year's squad showed great promise as a team and also developed some fine individual players, Tom Donaldson, George Jones, Ron Youngren, Dan Ficker, and Doug Stoll, all of whom are a cinch to play some varsity Basketball in the future. Following in the footsteps of the varsity, the sophomores coached by “Whitey” Thoreson lost but one game to South, undefeated city champs, to finish in second place. The boys showing the most promise for next year's varsity are Linemen Dave Hawkinson, Ken Youngren, Bruce Burud, and Mark Anderson; Backfieldmcn Dan Ficker, George Jones, and Jack Carlson. The team showed much promise and the boys on the squad arc sure to bolster the varsity in the next two years. Kneeling: Coach Bill Hawker. Donaldson. Carlson, Burns, Day.

The G.A.A. offers a variety of activities throughout the year for any Centralite girl. Propelled by Mrs. Hawker, Mrs. Kelehan. and the G.A.A. cabinet, a festive Thanksgiving dance. “Pumpkin Prance,” was successfully undertaken in our remodeled lunchroom. This marked the first school dance sponsored by the G.A.A. Bustling with activities from the beginning of the term, the girls participated in team sports such as basketball, volleyball, bowling, and softball. Inter-school competitions in badminton, swimming, golf, and tennis displayed keen interest and skilled abilities throughout the city. At the close of the year. Award Day spotlighted the presentation of Stars for winners of individual or team sports, the Central 'C” for those who acquired G(X) points by active participation while maintaining a C average, and an All-City G.A.A. Emblem, the highest award, to the well-deserved girls who successfully acquired 1.000 points in their years at Central while keeping a high standard throughout the school. In spite of all these awards, the G.A.A. emphasizes good, wholesome fun for all girls, and not necessarily the winning of letters. CABINET President ....

After a vigorous round robin tournament, the defending doubles champions of last year, Janet Harter and Irene Urashi. again met Donna Hubbard and Diane Jongquist in the finals match. For the second straight year, the Harter-Urashi combination took the Girls’ Doubles championship at Central. Irene teamed with Jerry Rodberg to take the Mixed Doubles tournament. The First International Junior Badminton Tournament was held in Winnipeg, Canuda, this spring. Janet and Irene were two of the five girls and five boys that represented the Midwest United States. They also were Minnesota's representatives to the Junior Nationals Tournament in San Antonio, Texas. BASKETBALL Baskethull. the most exciting winter sport, lived up to its name this year. A turn-out of 64 girls produced ten strong teams, playing each other on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Corkers, the undefeated Thursday team emerged as the eventual victors in a closely contested championship game over the Tuesday winners, called the Slippery Six. An all-senior team, the Corkers, have stuck together since their sophomore year, gaining experience and good team play in the various competitive sports. As a final wind-up for the 1953 basketball season, two all-star teams were selected by the G.A.A. mem- bers. Though the teams were divided as evenly as possible by Mrs. Hawker and Mrs. Kelehan, the Anoymettes surprisingly outscored the Conquerors. 26-10. Playing the forward positions for the champs were Joyce Monroe. Irene Urashi. Janet Harter, and Mary Kirby: guards. Jerry Sundby, Sandra Gohde. Barbara Grady, and Carolyn Sundin.

These girls soon learned the meaning of long hours of practice as they prepared for the city and district meets. Every Monday night, Bryant Junior High pool was the scene of their long practice sessions during the winter months. When the meets arrived, every team member was entered in at least one event, but only Sharon Mitchell placed. The members of the Showboat salute the valiant, hard-working team. Moulder, Mitchell. Shomars, Jensen VOLLEYBALL Although this sport may not appear to require much athletic ability, anyone who has played knows it isn’t as easy as it looks. Teamwork is essential for a good game of volleyball. A Round Robin Tournament was organized this year rotating the seven teams every Tuesday and Thursday from February 27 to March 19.

A. A., bowling has already established itself as the most popular sport for sophomores, juniors, and seniors alike. Eighty-five girls participated, forcing the tournament to be played twice a week at the 38th Street and Nicollet bowling alley. Josie Peterson boasted the highest single scoring game of the season with a high of 170. She topped Janet Kruse's 1952 score by one pin. The consistent scoring of captain Maureen Sheggerud and her team mates Sue Ossanna, Irene Urashi, Margaret Pratt, Jo Ann Swanson, and Joan Boulden, led to cop the bowling tournament for this year. GOLF All ambitious would-be golfers practiced diligently for several weeks in hopes of making the golf team.

BOARD TENNIS Before the Showboat leaves this isle of sports, a word of recognition is due to the crew. Under the master piloting of Mrs. Hawker and Mrs. Kelehatt. this 1952-53 Board had smooth sailing throughout the year. Helping this year's officers were the various sports chairmen in charge of a specific activity. These leaders were: Badminton. Janet Harter; Basketball. Sue Os-sanna; Volleyball. Joyce Monroe; Bowling, Maureen Sheggerud; Swimming, Joan Boulden; Tennis, Rita Sperber; Golf. Jerry Sundby; Softball, Annette O'Brien; Hiking. Anita Vanasck; Biking. Harriet Clutter: Point chairman. Donna Hubbard; Pom Pom chairman. Diane Jongquist; Social, Barb Bauer and Ruth Ray. The coming of warmer weather also brought with it the cry. “Tennis, anyone?” Energetic beginners and advanced players alike worked patiently at their shots during the practice sessions indoors and outdoors. playing once a week or more for six weeks. Pointers from the advanced players proved to be very helpful when it came time for the actual tournament play. After the required number of practices, a doubles tournament was set up with games scheduled for Monday afternoons at Pow-derhorn Park. The large number of girls that turned out for this sport made this tournament fun for all. Front Row, left to right: Monroe. Sheggerud. Sperber. Jong-quiat. Cohde. Crashi. Sundin. Ray. O’Brien.

Following a few days of campaigning. the election gave us our officers. These in turn, with the help of Mr. Hawker the senior adviser, chose the cabinet. Immediately after the preliminaries were over, both the officers and the cabinet settled down to work, making sure that the class of ’53 would be successful. Among the varied activities conducted by the class this year were the senior party, the class play, the senior prom, and the senior banquet. All of these things completed, our graduating class can look back on these things in the years to come with satisfaction. Hob Joseph. Irene Irashi. Connie Bjerke. Earl Nielsen. President ....
