CREATIVE WRITING CLUB Stemming as a direct outgrowth from the creative writing class of last year, the newly organized Creative Writing Club has gotten off to a flying start. Writing essays, descriptions, experiences, and even attempting to write stories for contests and publications have been among the attempted efforts. The club, which is open to any person who wishes to develop his writing abilitiy, is under the leadership of Mrs. Stassen, Linda Temple, and Jeannie Perrizo. ROW 1j J. Johnson, Epple, Cripps, Kinney.

CHOIR When the choir members assembled last fall, they could not realize that this would be their greatest season. Under the very excellent direction of Mr. Schommer, the choir has certainly proved itself one of the best choirs Central has ever had- Singing the Messiah at Christmas-time, performing at outside engagements, presenting assemblies, and entering contests are just a few of the many things the choir has done this year. Members are chosen primarily for the r ability to sing, but a person must also be able to read music and harmonize well with others. Cooperation is a must, for there are often long, grueling hours of practice. Early morning rehearsals are a must, but the rehearsals have been rewarding. This year, for the first time, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are all in one combined choir. Our choir. Officers include Bill Rovick, president; Dave Mortrud, vice-president; Sharon Meixner, secretary, and Joyce Dahlberg, treasurer. Our choir has improved during the past years; and it is looking forward to the coming years as years in wh:ch, by means of music, they con provide enjoyment for the members of our school. 25

CHORAL READERS There's something new at Central this year. Yes, it’s a choral reading group. Under the direction of Mrs. Stassen, this group has made up many of its own choral arrangements. Although the group is new, they have performed at many various functions, including Homecoming, the Christmas program, the Soroptomists Club, and at other schools. We wish continued success to this new group, and we hope to see more of them in the future. Clock wit : J. Smith, O'Reilly, Krebs, Donielton, Brenner, I. Johnton, Clausen, Stephens, Officer MIMES AND MUMMERS Mimes and Mummers, our dramatic club, has offered wonderful experience and dramatic training for all its members. Auditions were held in October, and new members were added to the group, making a total of thirty members. Qualifications for entering the club include ambition and good grades as well as dramatic talent. Those people trying out for membership in the group ore graded on their poise, clarity of voice, stage presence, and interpretation. ROW ): Hansen, Amireault, Mrs. Townsend, logon, Dahlberg, leland.
