Seated: Martin Larson, Howard Risch, G. E. Kronholm, and Joseph Linster. But the six members of the school board knew what to do. During the past three years, with the help ol Mr, Bright, superintendent of schools, they have been working on plans for enlarging the present school systr-in Through their efforts the Washington school and an addition to Eugene Field have been hnishf il This spring the needed addition to Central lim, livin staitvd, and the new IVlcKinlf,-y building will ltf- iftinplfit i'-f l in time lor school next tall Not only flrt tltiinit II 'lt on the board drrterntine the policies Ot thi school system, they also act as mediators between lJUSitT SS and education, They Ha Supt. Farley D. Bright's job runs the gamut from seeing that children learn their A-B-Cs to supervising ci large budget. 'o Many Children Senior High Principal Ray Flom and Junior High Principal Leslie D.

Senior high principal, Ray Flom, keeps the wheels turning smoothly. He is always busy supervising teachers, the high school activity fund, and maior discipline problems. With the help ot Mr. Ghles, he straightens out curricular knots. Principal Leslie Knox has his hands full with the iunior high. There are 135 in the seventh grade alone, the largest number in CentraI's history. Among his other duties he flnds time to supervise study halls and teach seventh grade health. Faculty A dillar, a dollar, a ten o'clock scholar, what makes you come so soon? As you can see by the picture opposite, the Teachers came early and attended a preschool session to get better acquainted with the l955'5o facilities, methods, and materials of instruction at Central. One hundred per cent of Central's faculty belongs to the Crookston Educa- fion Association, an organization of teachers dedicated to the task of increasing the usefulness and importance of the teaching profession in 'his city. Most ol the school's instructors are also members of MEA. and NEA, both ot which study school legislation, seek to improve them- selves in service training, and work for improvement of the lot of teachers. rt' W fi fe pl tr '27 wi RANDALL BARNES Science, Student Coun- cil.

Although they are the infants ot the senior high, the tenth graders are an active set. The bonfire was the first big adventure ot the year. Atter all their hard work it had to rain, but they still had a lot of fun! They have been well represented in sports. Sev- eral boys took part in football, track, and tennis. A musical group, they are very proud that 56170 are in either choir, band, orches- tra, drum corps, or pep band. 9...

Nearly half the debate squad is made up ot sophomores, the cast of the Christmas play was dominated by sopho- mores. Declamation also attracted a large number. The sophomore class is to be given credit for having the most students on the senior high honor roll each six weeks.

They had othcially become the Big Wheels ot the uniof high! They felt so important and soe histicatecl. The Frosh had a rollicking time at their Valentino party. They also have been lucky enough to be able to go to both senior and lunior high parties and other activities. As far as dramatic talent goes they've got it, with seven of them talcing part in the Christmas play. They have participated in sports and music and will certainly be wel- come in senior high.

Instead of running down the halls full speed ahead, the eighth graders this year merely go at a trot. Yelling to a chum has been proiected to only half the length of the hall instead of the usual full length. The eighth graders are a valuable addi- tion to the junior high. A large percentage of them are on the honor roll, They hold down many chairs in junior high band and mixed chorus, and in sports they have real shovvmanship on the football field and the basketball floor. af, .

Does all that noise and commotion really come from those small newcomers? This year's seventh graders didn't have the problems in finding their way around that their predecessors have had. Because of a new pro- gram of orientation, they have been right at home since the first day of the school term. Although they were reluctant to leave their mothers' protecting arms, they have gradually lost their shyness and are participating in iun- ior band, junior mixed chorus, football, and basketball. bv -' EIGHTH GRADE, Back Row: Dennis Hulst, Dennis Hussey, Alden Hermodson, Jill Janecky, Kathryn Hodg- son, Jean Janssen, Patsy Hanson.

CHOIR OFFICERS this year were Bob Behr, sec., David Larsen, pres., and Chrys Campbell and Bob Sage, librarians. This is an exclusive at the new stoles and dickies. Sweater Symphony Winter Shows, class plays, and PTA. are just a tew ot the many places that the titty-one artistic members of Central's orchestra entertain tor. Under the guidance of director T. VV, Thorson, this year's orchestra is said to be one of the best, if not the best, in Central's history. The string section especially deserves recognition for it has shown great improvement during the year. The main goal of the orchestra is to earn an A at contest time in May. To the strains of the tamiliar Strike Up The Band or The Great Gate of Kiev a typical concert opens. Playing in the orchestra has been known to make ladies and gentlemen out of dungaree dolls and ioes at least for the duration of a concert, for it's customary to wear formals and suits and bow ties.

Sometimes there are many of these groups, sometimes, few. this year there are two in senior high. They are string quartet and clarinet quartet. String quartet consists of two first violins, a viola, and a cello, Chosen from the larger string orchestra, this group plays quite frequently for church functions and civic groups. Their music ranges from marches to stately rninuets in three-quarter time, Two B-flat clarinets, and alto, and a bass clarinet compose Central's clarinet quartet. Although this ensemble doesn't often appear publicly, practices are held regularly and work is done on pieces for contest in the spring. V2 w K , . A .I ' it . Shipper, Drngsetlr, Hales, D.

Wisely, Mr. Thorson has divided them into three groups depending upon their ability, which he decided by try-outs in tone and technique. The three groups are junior band, which consists of seventy-four ninth graders plus a few selected eighth graders, the cadet band for forty-five seventh and eighth graders, and the iuvenile band, which consists of titty- tour beginners of all grade levels, some of whom are in junior high. The responsibility tor these three bands rests upon the shoulders of Jim Pester, president, Bruce Gronbeck, librarian, and Jean Saugstad, secretary. Training These flutists are Mary Cameron, Linda Fundings- land, Kirsten Halvorsen, Kathleen McVVaters, Jean Refi, Sandra Barness, Kathleen Wilder, Carol Lindell. fs O I amp For Musicians The iunior bands are especially interested in devel- oping proficiency enough to play in the senior organiza- tions. While working to attain this goal, they've enjoyed their rehearsals very much. This year for the first time in Central's history these groups are having an extra hour every week which is used for basic training, scales, arpeggios, and tech- niques. According to Mr. Thorson, that is whot's making a band out of them. Those musical arrangements which they will especially remember are the concert at Wash- ington Grade School P.T.A. meeting and, of course, the annual spring performance. The cadet bond.

The banquet at Trinity Church was a huge success, what with the luscious food and the entertaining pro- gram. The clarinet quartet provided the dinner music, and the customary class will and prophecy were read by the seniors and iuniors. Joseph lviazzitelli was the guest speaker. For the dance the gym was decorated as a iungle with vines, equatorial wild flowers, palm trees, mon- keys, and figures of native boys and girls. The highlight of the dance, the grand march, was led by Jerry Panzer and Geraldine Sims, seniors, and Pat l-lalos and Allen Johnstad, juniors. A special surprise floor show was given during the course ot the evening. Music was pro- vided by Kensel Erickson and his band.

Seniors' Class Play Goodbye, Mr. Fancy, a witty comedy in three acts by Fay Kanin, was the l956 senior class play. lt was presented November 3 and 4 and directed by Miss Evelyn Probstfield and Miss Dorothy Jarman. The plot concerns the romance of a congresswoman who returns to her alma mater to be awarded an honorary degree. When a local critic and both evening audiences called the performance sophisticated and professional , the seniors were happy.

After the eliminations the following five students survived: Donald Michel, Robert Behr, Donald Johnson, Ouida Nochbar, and alternate, Bonnie MacGregor. Affirmative team members were Bob and Don, the negative, Don Johnson and Ouida. Mrs. Cornelia Nachbar acted as coach.

Judy K, Dick and Bobby did a swell iob on your layouts, and don't you think the other Judy did wonders doing every iob from writing captions to scheduling pictures? By the way, those staff photographers deserve praise, with special hats off to Dave for his good work. There's more student photography in this book than ever before. Oh yes, what would we have done without the business staff? They worked hard, although it didn't take much to sell you! Now, off you go to the printer's, but our iob isn't done. No, indeed.
