What is the indescribable feeling which students sense but can't explain? Is it pride in a contest won, or is it the tranquil library where they read and study undisturbed? Is it the friendliness of boys and girls engrossed in the latest gossip, laughing over yesterdayis misunder- standing, worried about tomor- row's test? Is it the striving dramatists or the hard-practic- ing band? Is it the spirit of pep fests or the hearty laughter dur- ing auditorium programs? Is this part of the MAGIC OF CENTRAL? The MAGIC OF L . . CENTRAL is more than urging X ' Xi 'fa A a team to victory or burning p night oil to pass. Its magic is 'I 'i - J .xg the unconscious feeling that . 1.

It is tra- P E dition-shining trophies, sym' 5 .- ..,, 1 wi' 5 . . I ! N bolizing student victories of Hve or fifty years ago. It is editors l . f and their staffs working fever- ishly to meet a deadline. It is the capable Student Council planning hob-nobs. The people walking these bustling corridors give Central not a feeling of the usual but a sense of sparkle and brilliance. The Optimist dedicates this 1954 Yearbook to the boys and girls who are the embodiment of the MAGIC OF CENTRAL. 52 X? QQ!

Roller skating parties, after-the-game dances, senior skip day, and senior dress-up day are more escapades that all add up to the word that best describes Central school life-fun! above: Hop! Hop! Do the bunny hop! below: Forming a star at the junior high party. JOINING together in groups means initiation for new members.

This whole boisterous affair began with the snake dance winding through town to Cent- ral park. The bonfire was lit, and then came the big moment! Lovely Carol Fundingsland was our 1953 Homecoming Queen! During halftime at the football game, a fanfare and Let Me Call You Sweetheart, played by a special girls' band, introduced Queen Carol and her attendants. That evening, to the strains of A'Blue Moonf' the dance theme, the queen and her attendants walked to the throne. The blue lights and silver moons and stars made a very effective setting for the dancing, which students and alumni enjoyed until the Blue Moon wancd and Homecoming was over for another ycar.

Miss Johnson and her junior committee plan- ned the journey, and Toastmaster Kenny Lang- bell set the pace in the Parisian atmosphere of miniature Eiffel Towers, top hats, and canes. The future of the graduates was prophesied, and generous seniors announced their will. From the sidewalk cafe prom goers went to the dance cabaret, where French poodles, bright flowers, and orchestra music set the April in Paris mood.

SECRETARIES Mrs. Marlene Hinkley and LaVonne Jobe . . . their tasks are many. This past year has witnessed many improve- ments and much progress in the public schools of Crookston. With Mr. Bright's able assist- ance, the Board of Education accepted bids for the new Washington School and the addition to Eugene Field. Now the addition is completed, and the Washington School will be enrolling students in September of 1954. Last winter the reorganization of the school districts was ap- proved. Our junior and senior high enrollment increased to five hundred fifty-six pupils, and we now have eleven buses. As superintendent of schools, Mr. Bright is occupied with a myriad of duties. He is also on the legislative committee of the Polk County Education Association and active in community organizations-first vice president of the Lion's Club and vice president of the Community Council, the board of directors, Chairman of the National Affairs Committee, and national counselor for the Chamber of Commerceg 1954 drive chairman for the Community Fund, and Q E! 'I S is if 'Y S 5 Q S towards expansion member of the Youth Center committee. Mr. Flom, principal of our senior high school, spends the first half hour of every day signing absent and tardy slips for the students who come in half awake. Besides keeping students under control, he teaches civics, takes charge of study halls, is president of the city library board, and is on the board of directors of the State Association of Secondary School Principals. Mr. Knox, as principal of the junior high, has a full schedule. There is an increase of students in the junior high, a situation which poses many problems. For instance, there are the ever-lost seventh graders, who must be ushered to their right classrooms. The students also want more junior high parties while the class funds say definitely not. Mr. Knox teaches social studies and driver training. The office is the center of all activity, and our administration people are constantly work- ing for the betterment of our school and its students. BOARD OF EDUCATION, Dr. R. O.

Central's oificers of the Crookston Education Association, which works for the betterment of the teachers and the school, are Miss Engebret- son, presidentg Miss Probstfield, vice presidentg and Mr. Dahl, corresponding secretary. On the C. E. A. board of directors are Miss Mickelson, senior high, and Mr. Belford, junior high. Last year the C. E. A. initiated a scholarship program, which gave one hundred dollars to each of three seniors who promised to finish their college courses in education and teach for one year. Teachers are also active in the Polk County Education Association. ENGLISH 8 listens to Janice Stickel read from the selection, Man without a Country. Many of our teachers, too, hold offices in the state and national educational associations. Miss Morck is the Western Division representa- tive to the Minnesota Education Association delegate assembly. Secretaries of the Social Studies Teachers and the School Librarians of the Western Division of the M. E. A. are Miss Johnson and Miss Sivertson, respectively. Mr. Thorson was the Western Division delegate to the National Education Association meeting. On the Board for the Minnesota Council of Teachers of Mathematics is Miss Probstfield for the Ninth District. Mr. Droen is the secretary of the Region Eight Coaches Organization. Central is very proud of the contributions its faculty has made to the advancement of the teaching profession. Future years will see even greater progress.

With lots of pep and ability to read essays and cor- rect test papers, Mrs. Nachbar conducts her senior English classes in a very lively, unpre- dictable manner. Mr. Belford helps seniors meet the driver training requirement for graduation. On the scientific side some brainy seniors decided to take physics or chemistry, where Mr. Westby teaches them about mechanical advantage, or what chemicals, mixed in the right proportion will produce the biggest explosion. s ini' KNEE DROP shown by DON'T let that sauce Gerald Nelson in gym. bum, Mary Vind!

In preparation for secretarial work, many are taking their first year of stenography under Miss Mickelson. In Miss Johnson's American history writing themes on the Constitution and taking tests are thought- provoking activities. One of the most interesting spots is Mr. Droen's aquarium, where are found the arnoeba, the Protozoa, and the newt. Girls as well as boys make wooden shadow boxes and other articles of wood in Mr. Wood's shop. Miss Twedten screens everyone for vision and hear- ing, checks height and weight, and supervises Mantoux testing. Several junior boys enjoy home economics. Entrance into senior high has widened the edu- cation of the sophomores. Eighteen struggle through Caesar With Miss Morck's help, they give an elaborate K'Cena -banquet to you. Be- cause of her ability to put across information, Miss Argersinger makes the characters in Silas Marner come to life. The ingenious wit and jokes of Mr. Lehrer add to the interest of world history, where original plays on historical events, such as the fall of Rome, give background in- formation. Sports-loving Miss Helland passes on her enthusiasm to her students. One game which the girls play is sockey, a combination of soccer and hockey, originated by Miss Helland herself.

Cheerful Miss Dirks teaches them how to con- duct business transactions. Under Mr. Strand gym classes concentrate on such activities as basketball, skating, hockey, and tumbling. Ivan- hoe lives again in Mrs. Bergls English classes with pictures, other interesting background ma- terial, and little tests now and then. With Miss Probstfie1d's help, x and y are no longer mysteries in algebra. Girls who take home economics learn to prepare and serve meals. Miss Quamme and Mrs. Iverson also see that skirts and pajamas are made correctly. This was an exciting year for eighth graders and seventh graders. Mr. Nomland's math classes learn about bar and line graphs. Compiling lists of the stars of the first magnitude is part of taking science from Mr. Barnes. The boys in Mr. Peterson's shop class construct planters as one of their projects in woodworking. The big item in seventh grade music is mak- ing scrapbooks for Mr. Thorson. Working in groups on animal dramatizations is a unique feature of Miss Engebretson's English instruc- tion. As part of their art work, Miss Klemer's students design shadow boxes.

As juniors and sophomores look back over the year, they can take pride in their achievements and perhaps embarrassment over some mistakes. The first event for the juniors was electing officers and selecting class rings, followed by the operetta and the Christmas play. Paul Wold and Allan Wigand turned in outstanding per- formances in the athletic field, and Kay Simpson won Central's Democracy essay contest. Put- ting in long hours planning and decorating, the juniors were repaid by a dazzling prom. For the sophomores it was a rip-roaring year headed by their adviser, Miss Argersinger, and president, Lanny Barness. The highlight was serving for prom. With David Larsen in dra- matics and their basketball stars, Henry Hulst and Bruce Lindell, they gained early recognition.

Big da for all the junior high school MEETING in the library are Mark Larsen, Mike Thygeson and Richard Casmey, home room presidents of the ninth grade. When the doors opened last fall, the cheerful talk and ready laughter of the junior high filled the corridors. Soon one hundred four bewildered seventh graders found their way around Central's halls. At Homecoming their combined efforts made the winning float. The eighth graders realize it's good to be back. They took an active part in the operetta ticket sales, with Mr. Nomland's home room winning the prize for selling the most tickets. Big wheels in junior high are the ninth graders. Those who took part in the operetta, the Christmas play, and Thespian plays showed real talent for dramatics and music. This class will always be proud of Pepper Lysaker's long shots in basketball. Long to be remembered is the G.A.A. initiation with its backward skirts and men's shoes. These fun-loving classes make the most of their skating parties and dances. The junior high is working hard and looks forward to be- ing in senior high, where they will be a valu- able addition in scholarships and in activities.

Behind the win-loss figures lies a story of better than average performances. Sensational punting by Paul Wold and hard running by Jerry Baril, Dick Coauette, and Dick Biever kept the scores from being more lopsided than they were. A bright spot occurred when George Nelson, fullback, tackled a Roseau player who had fumbled in his end zone to give Central a safety and its solitary win this season. Consistently good play brought Jerry Baril all-region and all-state honorable mention, and Dick Coauette a place on the all-region team.

About twenty freshmen are expected to add to the roster. Forty-eight boys were issued uniforms by Coaches Bob Strand and Harold Westby for junior high eight-man football. Each of four teams won at least two gamesg and the cham- pions, the Golds, lost one and tied one, a record clearly showing the spirit and determination which carried the boys through a fine season. In a final eleven-man game the Whites and the Golds combined to challenge the Greens and the Reds. In spite of cold, windy weather, the teams showed flashes of crisp tackling and sharp blocking. At the final gun, the Golds and Whites had won 7 to 0, to claim a thrilling victory in junior high competition. JUNIOR HIGH RESULTS Team Won Lost Tied Pct.

In encounters with Bemidji and Red Lake alls, the Pirates were a sharp looking ball team. hen in certain games, especially against East lrand Forks and the Northwest School, Central ist couldn't stick together. The A squad had nly three seniors and was composed of inex- erienced boys playing their first or second year. With a young team such as this, the next few ears should prove interesting as the boys gain playing experience and physical stature, says Coach Droen. The outstanding feature of the season was the setting of a new state scoring record when Hank Hulst got red hot and scored 47 points against Red Lake Falls. Beginning with the correction of bad ball habits and learning the fundamentals, the prom- ising seventh and eighth grade ball club later organized into teams. During the tournament upsets were many, with Gerald Solheim the winning captain. Mr. Peterson coached the boys. B SQUAD. Back row: G, Lufkin, O. Erstad, Mr. Lehrer, J. Solheim. D Radke, S.

Their determination and effort were rewarded by the district championship, Central's fifth successive district win. At the region Bemidji won by twenty-nine strokes over Central. Low men were Mylan Haugen, 89, and David Stenseth, 96. All but Mylan Haugen, senior, will compete again this year. The cross country squad was short one com- petitor in three out of five meets. In a contest at the Northwest School Allan Wigand copped first place with Gary Zitzer, bantam weight runner, winning ninthg Henry Hulst, tenth, and Lewie Demarais, eleventh, despite the fact that Henry and Lewie had just come out.

Central placed fifth out of fifteen schools in the second annual Pirate relays. One disap- pointment was the loss of the mile by only a few seconds at the Beaver relays. At the district 31 meet the fifteen Pirate thinclads placed fifth and sent two boys on to the region. Those qualifying were Loren Heg- land, who won the high hurdles in 18.2 seconds, and Roger Solheim, who took second in the low hurdles. Roger came through to post fifth in the region low hurdles. A powerful Bemidji team copped the region eight meet with 411f2 points.

Toward the end of September, by means of an inexplainable initiation, G.A.A. welcomed into its ranks a host of freshmen, sophomore, and senior girls. The cogs which kept the G.A.A. wheel moving this year were the adviser, Miss Hel- land, the president, Mary Wilder, along with a board of twelve enthusiastic leaders.

'Q publications Move on around the Clock The Optimist and the Pepster, Central's publica- tions, present a challenge to their energetic staffs, as they dig in on their respective jobs. Led by Susan Albright, editor, and Dell Beauchine and Jo Anne Anderson, assistant editors, the Optimist staff fitted each picture, story, and caption together like a large puzzle, assisted by their adviser, Miss O'Brien. Pro- moting home room sales and handling financial problems, Marilyn Espe, business manager, and Janet Bergstrom, assistant manager, kept a well- balanced budget. Last year's book received a First Class honor rating. The Pepster staff enjoys the bi-weekly search and recording of school news and labors diligently to meet the deadline. Supervised by Mrs. Nachbar, the staff combines accuracy and originality in their stories. Co-editors Dell Beau- chine and Donna Rohrer served the first sem- ester. Just as Centralites anticipate each issue of the Pepster in sixth hour classes so do they await the May distribution of the Optimist and the exchange of autographs.

Under Mr. Thorson, the council, representative of each major music group, considers and debates all issues confronting it. The first concern is to set rules by which all music organizations must abide. Homecoming brings more duties-- Who can decorate the float tonight? What will the drum corps wear in the parade ?

With spring comes the music festival, com- plete with innumerable details to be ironed out, and the music banquet, filled with food and fun.

Before each rehearsal are sure to be heard: Who drank a bottle of milk that wasn't paid for? Who belongs to this rosin? or Play that 'a' for the fiddles again. After everyone has finished his milk, sur- vived the rush for his music, and tuned up, the orchestra is oil, in more ways than one, perhaps, on the old stand-by, Processional. At the end of the Tuesday sessions after school, orchestra president Janet Bergstrom never fails to shout, Straighten your chair and pick up your kleenex! The orchestra members have their trouble with broken strings, strange notes, and tire4 fingers, but they always come through witl flying colors When concert time rolls around they appear in their beautiful formals and smar suits and perform like professionals.

Up goes the baton, the instruments are ready, now for the tuning scale. Did Mr. Thorson say something about tryouts? Oh, no! All this is part of be- longing to band. The band plays everything from western music to the classics. As with the other senior high music groups, the most important event is the spring festival. Squeak! Squeak! Toot! That's right. You're coming along fine! These familiar sounds can be heard upon entering the music room at four o'clock on Thursday. The junior band's talent comes from the elementary grade pupils as well as junior high students. 'Chop- sticks, The Skaters' Waltz, and America are all in the band's repertoire.

Forty sleepy girls with their hair still in pin- curls are congregated in front of the school at six o'clock in the morning. Drum boxes are lined up on the sidewalk, and impatient girls are standing with their uniforms under their arms, clutching their boxes and bags of food. The bus is late again. Here it comes! We get the back seat! No, seniors first! Say, did you see that cute bus driver? At about ten o'clock the girls start waking up. This means the beginning of the meal, which lasts until the destination is reached. Between mouthfuls of brownies and sand- wiches, a medley of songs is sung. When the parade site is reached, a mad scramble begins as everyone tries to get dress- ed and find instruments. After the long parade, forty quiet, worn out girls settle back for the ride home. The most exciting trip was the Minneapolis Aquatennial, where second prize in the drum corps division was won. Another all girls' group is the junior girls' glee club, which meets Monday after school. Under the direction of Miss Morck, these girls blend their voices in many beautiful songsg such as, Lo, How a Rose and Gavotte. All look forward to their spring concert. MIXED CLARINET QUARTET.

Planning on being a teacher? Then F. T. A. is the organization for you. Supervised by Miss Johnson, the members substitute for grade school teachers, practice teach in high school, and help foreign students learn English. Boom! Oh, what's that horrible smell? It's just the morning meeting of the Science Club, and they're experimenting again. Then through the fog we hear Leon Flancher and Arlen Her- modson's Alt worked, and we know we have survived another session in Mr. Westby's room. The purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in science. Oh, look at those knock-kneed legs on the Lettermen initiates. K'What an improvement the lipstick makes. This club is not all fun, though, for the boys worked hard to purchase a whirlpool bath. All these activities make belonging to clubs a privilege and a pleasure to enjoy and to re- member. modson 90 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY-Dell Beauchine, Kenneth Langbell, Janet Fylling, Delsie Charais.
