My life is thine, 0 King of men and King of Angels! happily back from the clouds with a pocketful of dreams for a bright new future. In this year of 1950 Minnesota enters its second centennial, and we are the heirs of a past that stretches through the three ages of fur trader, pioneer, and maturity to a new era of accomp- lishment. Old frontiers have disappeared, but frontiers of learning no less challenging lie before us. Following the pioneering tradition, let us look forward, working hard, dreaming dreams, but always practical in doing the day's job. We can hitch our wagons to our stars, follow them diligently, and let them guide us to success, to a new century of greatness, of peace for our state and for our country. sw CentraI's state area 'A' band nmrches in the Memorial day parade. .aft t 0h, for Rose's talent in winning Superior at the state contest!

Central won the district speech trophy and also the only superior at the district one-act play contest. Rose Schilling rated superior in the dra- matic division of the state speech festival.

Pat Wold, Tuberculosis Essay winner, really had a big first. Then honor students Karen Brown, Carole Owens, and Vivian McAuley show that the junior high can lead the honor roll. Fred Crane, Pat Wold, Janet Fylling, Bob Cash head a large group that have already had their first memorable practice with the senior high orchestra.

Lights! Curtain! Marilyn, Vernon, and Bob are alert eat their stations as the class play opens. The sophomores believe this is the year to start shining. So, as the first weeks of school Hew by, they got into the swing of things. Su- per-sophs are George Ramberg in athletics, Sally Collins, Gayle Stedman, Nancee Hovland, Opal Anderson in cheerleading, Loralee Lewis and Gayle Stedman in music.

On the stage was Sheldon Watts, a pioneer in the Centennial program and one of the Three Kings in the Christmas play. A few fortunate waitresses and bus boys will share the thrill of prom. Next year all will be there-the juniors of 1951. The morning stars sing together 556. QB. sf ' 3 ' Q0 i, as The juniors will never forget the class play -trying to make sprightly Carol Sorvig a sedate Aunt Polly, the harmonica they tried so hard to find and then forgot to use, Huck's struggles to squeeze into Phyllis Ristau's dress, Bob Dillabough carrying on the tradition that the show must go on in spite of an infection and chills, Corinne Ramstad's ingenuity as chairman of the costume committee. Nearly every junior is in music with Jacie Swanson and Dick Eagle, the maestros on the bassoon and the violin. With spring comes prom, and then year's end when the juniors become the seniors of 1951. 17 More asking, more joking at the Youth Center, heaven-teen for junior oiicers, Barham Ellingson, secrelaryg Danny Albright, vice presidentg Tonie Tofsly, president.

Last minute prom touches-Lill, Ann, Roy, Betty, and Rosalie decorate the wall of the Dutch Garden. . . . when graduation time rolls around, and a new world lies before them. For three years the seniors wondered what it would be like, and now it's here. But there is also time for remembering-the Sophomore party, prom, their plays, Christmas carolling and the pa- geant, the tense moment before the chairman announced the declamation winners, the hi- larious happenings at the music festival as con- testants ran upstairs and down with instru- ments, uniforms, and music. Maybe some can remember more-picnics in the park, friendly chats over cokes at the drugstore, proofs. Lack- a-day, can this indeed be I? They like to re- member three grand years of sports and their own classmates some of the best players. Yes, seniors, this is graduation day, and these pages are yours. For seniors and faculty only-the Wiener roast with lone, Bob, and Barbara taking their turn at the bonfire. 1 , ,W An enchanted evening ends-Bob and Shirley. 20 ln April, 1949, at an assembly, these 1950 Seniors received the distinction of membership in the National Honor Society-Carol Arch, Charlotte Linster, Ronald Pavey.

Captain Dave Pilkey placed in the regional meet in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Thief River Falls, perennial powerhouse, took most of the honors at the meets with the Bucs a close second in the district and third placers in the North Valley conference. Pilkey, Don Bennett, Dick Morlan, and George Ramberg were the highest point getters on the squad. Cross country was started for the first time at Central under the direction of Coach Meier Snell.

They took a one up victory over Thief River Falls in the district tournament. In their two dual meets, the golfers copped victories over Bemidji by eleven strokes and also over Thief River Falls.

The following week the margin of an extra point spelled defeat at the hands of Grand Forks. Dick Morlan's 87-yard kickoff return high- lighted the game. The Bucs and the Devils Lake Satans played to a stalemate as the extra point again made the differ- ence between victory and a tie. Mahnomen's Indians fell before' the Pirate squad as they rang up their second shutout with good defensive play. Journeying to East Grand Forks the Pirates dropped the decision to the NVC champs in a game played under the lights. They recovered, however, and took the Grafton Spoilers in the Homecoming contest. Putting up a tough defensive stand on their own goal line the Bucs polished off Thief River Falls on a snow-covered field. Red Lake fur- nished some stiff opposition as the team rallied from a thirteen- point deficit to take the contest.

However, the team cou1dn't put together consistent games and ended up with a ten win and eight loss record. Dick Gillespie led the Pirate scoring with 195 points. Everett Eide, Jim Monroe, and George Ramberg topped the 100 point scoring mark. Following their victory in the first game of the season with the Aggies, the Pirates copped three more in a row before splitting even in their next four games. A loss to Warren started the Bucs on a five-game losing streak, including four North Valley games. Two Conference wins over Grafton and a win and a loss to Thief River Falls brought the Pirates up to a fourth place tie in the Conference standings. A victory over the Aggies closed the regular season. The 62 points rung up by the Bucs against Grafton was their best offensive effort of the year. Red Lake Falls dropped a 20 point decision in the first district contest, but the following night Warren eliminated the Bucs. Thief River Falls took consolation honors with a victory the next night. Nine of this year's squad were seniors so next year's team will be underclassmen, who will gain experience for the coming years. Central's B team dropped four one point decisions and a two point loss in compiling a season record of four wins and twelve losses. The seniors, playing with only five men, copped the interclass tournament by a wide margin over the juniors and a close one point edging of the sophomores. 44 G1 1? 4 if s ,ge w k wr! 'qi 'kb tif .
