Highlighted by the reading of the senior class will and the junior class prophecy, a banquet was held in the Methodist ch1u'ch with sophomores acting as waiters and waitresses. Despite the April showers, dancers were surrounded by moonlight and roses in the school gym, where the Grand March was led by junior and senior class presidents, Don Steenerson and Jim Anderson, with their guests, Marlys Buness and Carolyn Wilson, and by prom committee heads, Pearl Ott and Mary Collins, with their escorts, Bill Martin and Bryant Ulseth. When midnight rolled around, all left to journey from one home to another for more food and fun. Came the sunrise of April 11, and sleepy-eyed juniors made hasty waste of the decorations which had so magically given the gym a romantic atmosphere the night before.

Central offers a wonderful opportunity for those whose ambition is to entertain behind foot- lights. Under the very capable supervision of Miss Evelyn Probstfield, the National Thespian So- ciety was brganized in 1946. Ten points is a minimum total for membership with each point equiva- lent to ten hours of work in any field of dramatics. Major dramatic presentations are the junior and senior class plays, the Education Week play, the Christmas play, and the contest play, An elective course open to juniors and seniors, the speech class studies the fundamentals of speech, dramatics, various types of discussion, debate, and interpretation. .-.Q In declamation Miss Phyllis Bond coaches dramatic and humorous inter- pretative, and manuscript readingg Miss Evelyn Probstfield, memorized and or- iginal oratory, and extemporaneous speakingg and Mr. Meier Snell, discus- sion.

A Young Man's Fancy was presented on November 18 and 19 by the junior class. The plot of this light comedy centered around a wealthy, pampered boy who comes to a summer camp, meets with a raw reception from the other boys, but eventually becomes a regular boy. Under the expert direction of Miss Evelyn Probstfield each member of the cast entered into the spirit of this side-splitting entertain- ment, chuck-full of laughs and spiced with romance and common, everyday sense.

Revolving around the late George Brand, the theme of this com- edy had great originality and provided an opportunity for excellent acting by its well- balanced cast. Cousin George returns from over there to help solve the many problems facing his young heirs. As the curtain falls, he can settle back in his old chair and smile, know- ing he has done his work well.

Signing up for the Optimist- Joan and Rollis The Pepster's out in room 217- Miss Dirks, teacher International honor society for high school journalists- that's Quill and Scroll. All members must be in the upper third of their class and have done superior work in writing, editing, or business manage- ment. With Miss Esther Leino as adviser, Central's chapter has had an active year. Coverage, creativeness, editing, features, head-lines, news writing, page make-up, balance, photog- raphy-these are a few of the headaches of the Pepster and Optimist staffs. But hard work always pays-as was proved by the Pepster's high rating of All-American for two consecutive years. It was great fun to publish an eight-page edition at Christmas. A new feature of the paper this year was the Letters to the Editor, in which criticisms, complaints, and praise of the school were expressed by students. Central's first annual was born in 1905 and was christened the Knocker. From then on it bore various titles until in 1917 it was permanently named the Optimist. This year the diligent staff looked Through the Looking-Glass for the '49 theme. With true ambition they worked to raise more money so that they could provide the annual with the luxury of a padded cover-something the Optimist hasn't had before.

Seven forty-five, and the Woodwinds take their turn, then the brasses. A last min- ute glance at formals and hair, and the orches- tra, led by the clarinets, enters the pit. As the baton is raised, the strains of Song of the Sword signal the opening of an evening's en- tertainment--junior and senior class plays, assembly programs, the Winter -Shows, and baccalaureate.

From flutes to bass horns and from snare drums to tympani this well-balanced group gives musical entertainment of superior qual- ity. In the fall they played at the political rally and the Northwest Health meeting. A portion of the band opened the Christmas program with a Christ- mas overture. In other activities the band contributed to assembly programs, the Winter Shows, and the Memorial e Day ceremonies. Central's 1949 band Smiles reflect the mood of the lively Saxophone Quartet--A.

The next week the Pirates hit the win column with a victory over Devils Lake. The highlight of this game was a 90-yard touch- down run by Pilkey, the longest run made by the team all season. In the Fosston game Coach Turner retired the first team, and the substi- tutes played the second half. All three Pirate touchdowns were made by passes from Ram- berg to Peltier. East Grand Forks defeated the Bucs in the Homecoming game, making the winning touchdown on an intercepted pass. Smarting under the defeat, the team bounced back to top Grafton in their Homecoming game. After leading for three quarters against Thief River, the Pirates let down, and Thief River tossed a pass to win the game. Overconfidence was responsible for a loss at the hands of Red Lake Falls in the last game of the season. Eight of the first team are seniors, leaving only three returning regulars for next year's squad. To Mr. Turner and his assistant, Mr. Fezler, go the thanks of the players and student body for their hard work, and wishes for the best of luck next year. Wearers of the C , the Lettermen's Club is for those who have lettered in some major competitive sport. Aiming to promote better athletics and to strengthen cooperation between athletes, membership creates a fellowship that will last for years after graduation. Under the guidance of Mr. Fezler and Mr. Turner, meetings are held each Thursday morning to plan various propects and social activities, with major undertakings the faculty game and the May Ball.

KX I V- if f Xwfssi h 1 L.-of , With the return of only three letterrnen, Don Drake, Duane Peltier, and Don Steener- son, the basketball team faced an uphill battle throughout the season, finishing with seven wins and eleven losses. In the individual de- partment, Don Drake was again the standout. He won the North Valley conference scoring race for the second year in a row and broke the school's record for' total points scored. He amassed 584 points to shatter the old record of 500 points held by Tosten Johnson in 1945. Everett Eide, Bob Stadsvold, and Don Steener- son were the main scoring threats from out on the floor. George Ramberg also broke a record by scoring the most points as a freshman. In the season's opener, the Pirates played Climax 53-40. They kept their win streak alive by squeezing past Red Lake Falls but ended it the following week at East Side. The victory over Fosston by thirteen points was also one of the better games played. All of the Pi- rates played' well in this game. Following the Christmas holidays, the roof caved in on the luckless locals as they dropped into a six-game losing streak and were able to win only three out of thirteen games. In the first round of the district tournament they were eliminated by Climax 55-48. Coach Turner will lose only three boys through graduation. The seven returning let- termen and the boys moving up from the B team, who are mostly juniors, will help make an one of their best games of the year by downing The 1948-49 Pirate basketball squad-Jim Monroe, Dick Morlan, Don Steenerson, Duane Peltier, Everett Eide, Don Drake, George Ramberg, Ronald Pavey, Art Miller, Bob Stadsvold Jim Ristau. - .

Pilkey had the best record with first in the 220-yard dash in the district, regional, and conference meets, second in the district and conference 100-yard dash, and first in the region. Pilger placed second in the conference pole vault and third in the low hurdles. Mitchell won second in the district and North Valley high jump, and third at the region. Others who placed in the district were Bennett, third in the high hurdles, and Wood, third in the pole vault. A third place was won by the 880-yard relay team of Pilkey, Ulseth, Blokzyl, and Miller in the conference and district meets. National guard duty kept Morlan, Martin, and Pilger from entering the district meet. Meier Snell coached the team. With little time for practice the baseball team had a fairly successful season under Loyd Fezler, losing in the district tournament by one point.

Their coats were brushc In the ninth grade we are talking about not only our junior cheerleaders, Sally Collins, Opal Ander- son, and Gayle Stedman but also our senior cheer- leader, Laddie Hauglid. Then there is letterman George Ramberg on the first' team in both football and basketball, twirler Nancy Hovland in the Drum Corps, and honor student Loralee Lewis, also a Tu- berculosis essay winner with honorable mention in the state contest. What a time we had at the G. A. A. initiation wearing our hair in a pug, our dresses backward, and giving the program at the dance! Through it all, we miss Mr. Landberg greeting us at the head of the stairway every morn- ing and his presence in our classes. Nearing the end of our junior high days, we look back on a busy, happy year. 1 I Row iv: J. Anderson. Buckmiller. Blokzyl. Chandler. Bow iii: Carlson. Capistran. Bergum. Blow, Bolstad.

The next year our trembling feet were trodding the boards to present The Charm School. Here at last was the thrill of a lifetime, our Moonlight and Roses banquet and prom. Putting aside our sloppy joes and parting with our shoulder length tresses, we emerged as seniors transformed by the new look. We started out with an air of dignity in our long, slim skirts to assume the role of lead- ers in school activities. Loafing at the lake, we treasured every moment of senior day. Now the time has come to take the important walk across the stage to receive that important docu- ment. Well, all in all, we are a pretty happy, crowdg for our senior year was all we. had expected and a little more. The political rally sponsored by the so- cial science class-Humphrey CJ. Ham- iltonj, Wallace CB. Ulsethj, Truman CM. Paulsonj, and Dewey KD. Lienb. Whose look Was mild This is Mr. Landberg as we knew him-standing at the head of the stairs, the first to greet us as we entered the building. He always had a grin and a hearty chuckle as he checked excuses and signed passes. We first became acquainted with Mr. Landberg when we registered as seventh graders. We appreciated his true worth as a teacher when, in the ninth grade, we studied algebra in his classes. He was a teacher at Central since 1922 and junior high principal for the past 13 years. We will miss him at our graduation, for he was truly one of us. , A ARDIS ANDERSON-Always game for a good time.
