STAGE CREW Silent men behind the scenes are responsible for the smooth functioning of all our school programs. The stage crew spends a great deal of time arranging the scenery and planning the lighting and sound effects before each auditorium. An example of this would he their fine cooperation during the Senior Class Flay rehearsals. This year they are supervised by Mr. Mitchell, who is responsible for giving them stage directions and seeing that everything runs smoothly. Row 1: Anderson G., Smith D., Larson J. Row 2: Cheney, Wolfe, Kyle. CENTRAL SINGERS The only student organization completely without faculty supervision is the Central Singers. This group, under the capable direction of Bruce Bart, works hard to prove itself a very worth-while musical ensemble. The Central Singers have been very active at Central, the evidence of which is their participation in programs and various other activities, both in and out of school. These activities included the Thanksgiving Day program, a F.T.A. meeting at Agassiz school, and the Commencement exercises for the senior class. They also sang for various church and social groups in the community. Members are chosen on the basis of musical ability by the remaining members'from the preceding year. It is indeed an honor to be a member of this group. Row 1: Miller, Braun, loberg, Swedenborg, Clutter, Wheeler, Niel on, Heath. Row 2: Bruce Bart, Paradise, Brian Bart, Gjerset, Witt, Gramma , Johnson E., laguban. 19 •

PROJECTION CREW The job of setting up and running the 16mm. motion picture camera and sound projector is done by the projection crew. Visual aids are becoming more important in education because the students receive a broader knowledge of the subject and remember what they see longer. This proves the old saying, ‘‘One picture is worth a thousand words.” This group, under the direction of Mr. Hovey, shows both educational and entertaining movies to the students. Row 1: Snyder, 8. Johnson, Moore, Smith, Tepper, Mr. Hovey. Row 2: Fulkerson, Gjevre, Priess, Parker, Peterson, R. Johnson. Row 3: Rudberg, Timmerman, Vander Ziel, Ryan, Quam. ORCHESTRA A new organization this year, the orchestra, has proven itself capable of playing such selections as “Minuet and Trio” by Hayden and “The Great Gate of Kiev” by Moussorgsky. I’nder the direction of Mr. Miles, it practices every sixth hour in room 400. It is composed of sixteen members, and has an excellent violin section. The orchestra also includes two cellos, three violas, a bass violin, and is accompanied by Lyn Olson on the piano. We at Central are very proud of the progress this group has made and are confident that it will continue to deserve the praise it has been given. Row 1: Peterson G., Krou» . Plank, Danielson, Olson L. Row 2: Leavitt, Dahl, Thompson, Von Slyke, Anderson K. Row 3: Chemel, Rea, Larson, Porker, Hymes, Franson, Mr. Miles. 18

CENTRALI AN la t Name First, Please The busy clicking of the typewriter, the rhythm-like beat of pencils hitting the tables, and the occasional clang of rulers have been the musical tempo of room 410, the home of the “54 Centralian Staff. All the members have been working diligently and following the advice of the Centralian co-editors, Carol Thompson and Sam Stewart; they also received help from Mr. Johnson. The staff was divided into little groups. Each group was assigned a particular section of the book and it was held responsible for the completion of this section. The staff had to meet its deadlines and arrange its pages attractively, often calling for hours of hard work. However, the work of the staff was not complete after the book went to the press. Now the real job was beginning the job of checking and proof-reading the yearbook. This was accomplished by the members of the staff, each member working arduously. The Centralian Staff has tried to maintain the standards set up by its predecessors. The book has won yearly awards from the National Scholastic Press Association. The staff sincerely hopes that this “54 Centralian will be a worthy souvenir of Central High School. 20
