The school was divided into organized departments, complete with acting heads A two-track system was put to the test Teachers began a suggested get tough policy Remedial reading was begun in the English department Civics was made a required course for freshmen The trend showed on increased enrollment in Maths and Sciences Mr. TWT exclaimed over his big- gest and best band in ten years The 24 boys in choir were strong enough to be heard above the 49 girls The Soda Pop Hops decreased the usual number of school parties . . . With the new wing in its final stage, we all became avid construction fans, sneaking in tours of investigation and exploration . . . Finally, piece-by-piece, we moved into the fin- ished sections .. . Long-time residents had new quarters, nomad teachers for the first time had their own rooms.. .By April we were all gaping at the magnificence of the new gymnasium, wishing the basketball season would start all over again . . . With the coming of fair weather, everyone anticipated the end of school . . . On May 29 the largest class to graduate of Central left her halls. While in its skeletal form, the house we The house we lived in contained curious little signs. These masterpieces were terse, but to the point, as exemplified by the two on this page. Our house was a maze of brightly colored wires, innumerable pipes, piles of sand and gravel, tiling of all shades and sizes, plaster and cement bags, and buzz saws. Many odors, some pleasant and others a little offensive, floated through our halls, the smell of freshly cut wood and new plaster intermingled with tar and oil. l If MA! ,.Qf'C,i!Af lived in didn't look capable of being trans- formed into anything usable for education. The silence of our study periods was constantly being broken by the rat-a-tat-tat of iack- hammers and the grinding of trucks weighted down with steel beams, lumber, cement, and other materials. Slowly the house we lived in evolved from a mere hole in the ground and immense piles of bulky materials into an im- pressive edifice to house our overflow of stu- dents and to provide a much needed lunch- room and gymnasium. .. l What's Behinc .-,ol While traversing to and from the house we lived in for classes such as shop and glee club, we had constantly to be on the lookout for stock piles of brick, tiling, scaffolding, pip- ing canvasses, boards, and mud. These piles, however, slowly diminished as the materials were converted into walls, ceilings, floors, doors, stairways, rooms, cubbyholes, crooks and cran- nies, and as the interior began to take shape, we forgot our discomforts with the excitement of moving into this spacious building. the Closed Door?

This picture shows the gymnasium en- trance to the left and the gym proper to the right. LOWER LEFT: This sign frustrated the naturally curious, for it outlawed traipsing through the half- constructed building. ABOVE: This picture shows the nearly-completed gym- nasium entrance.

Jangling school bells rudely interrupted our pleasant summer rustication, and once again we were back at school lf the black bags, boots, bulky sweaters, and iackets were any indication of grief, Centralites must have had tragedy-stalked lives . . . Even if we looked as if we were in mourning, we certainly had plenty of spunk ln fact, there were even more of us to be spunky . . . The Student Coun- cil acted as host school for the regional council convention Later they went to work on the Minnesota Student Code Girls were ex- cited over the revitalization of the GAA Enthusiastic science club members from both iunior and senior high made enlightening field trips For the fifth semester in a row the Pepster received an All-American rating School newsmen covered small flareups in the new wing . . .

'SE Sovereign Seven New faces, new offices, new ideas! Central's i957-'58 school year was characterized by all of these. September started with confusion, as students looking for Mr. Flom found themselves in a classroom now occupied by Mr. Nomland. A tour eastward down the hall brought them to the new offices, an executive suite occupied by Messrs. Knox, Flom, and Flynn, their office assistants, and a dozen or more proiectors, dupli- cators, tape recorders, and dentention chairs. Visitors were awed by the imposing presence of a switchboard, the school's first. This has been the year of the two superintendents. Sep- tember brought the news of the resignation of Mr. Bright, who had been administrator for seven years, and the reali- zation that a familiar friend would soon be missing from Central's halls. October gave the information that Mr. Mickel- son had been hired. ln November we said goodbye to Mr. Bright and hello to Mr. Mickelson, who soon became as familiar and good a friend as Mr. Bright had been. Another innovation in the executive department of the school was the election in late spring of two women to the board of education. For fifty years no female had raised her voice ofhcially to help with the conduct of the district's affairs. This Victorian taboo was cast off by the voters' selection of Mrs. Ewing and Mrs. Thompson as board members. Urged on by interested citizens and parents, the faculty this year began the introduction of a dual system of trainina for students in the senior high. Those who had college in their future were felt to need different training from those who planned to go to work immediately after high school. Al- though the system has not been comprehensive enough this year, by next year it should be working well and affect all senior high people, in the opinion of the administration. Two- track classes were confined solely to English in l957-58, but many English classes were still set up as mixed groups. 8 5 i M l l me H11 f --nu. f l I 'Q 1 gill 5 ff f ll i i fl sf ll l in-sf X .iz sr x .r L..- RAY A.

How any Minutes Make a Meetin ??? An hour a week tinds the class representatives from the ninth through twelfth grades performing their duties as the governing body of Central High School's students. Last tall Don Johnson, council president, and the group were hosts to the regional student council convention held at the Northwest School. Sharing the responsibility were vice president, Gary Letnes: treasurer, Carol Barness, and secretary, Diane John- son. ln October, Mr. Barnes, the council adviser, and his cohorts busily planned their most important event of the year, Homecoming. Their careful scheming paid oft in a very suc- ,. cessful game and dance. However, their activities are not l-l confined solely to Homecoming. Besides sponsoring other parties, they worked long hours to set up a satisfactory teen- , l age code for Central. .f Ft r ABOVE: The Master of the Council, Mr, Barnes, FAR LEFT: Some pre-meeting informality as li F' Don and Diane discuss the agenda lor the day.

My d ,, X ,V 10 Peoples Choice An indispensable part of any class is its officers. They conduct the business meetings, make arrange- ments for parties, and see that the business of the class runs smoothly. The election of officers is held either in the spring or in the tall. Often these elec- tions become a battle of the sexes, with each gender trying to gain control. This rivalry was quite evident in the sophomore class where the boys emerged vic- torious. The seniors and iuniors are quite evenly divided, however. ln charge of the official business of their classes, these heads represent their respective grades on the student council.

Weekly they discuss problems and set up regu- lations. Annually they sponsor a banquet. The Library Staff is set up to be of assistance to the librarian. Learning the techniques of running a successful library and keeping books clean are their duties, To give strangers information and to maintain order in the halls are the main duties of the Hall Patrol. The Street Patrol Force, although small, does efficiently the job of transporting Central students safely across the busy intersections. The Movie Operators take care of our visual education, with Ron Hoiseth as chief operator. For Information BELOW: MUSIC COUNCIL.

Following closely is a male member with 30 years. Altogether there are five of our educators who have been teaching 30 years or more. The average for Central teachers is I3 years. The most popular college attended by the teachels seems to be the University of North Dakota, which has a slight edge over Minnesota. Moorhead and Bemidji State follow in popularity. But our faculty is ndt limited to Minnesota and North Dakota schools, for we have one member who got her degree at Asbury College in Kentucky. Several instructors at Central have been teaching here for many years. Mr. Thorson, who has been at Central since l933, holds the record. 'Su Concordia ... BA ... Bemidii SC ...

On the local level the faculty has the CEA, which meets once a month. Another organization, the PCEA, takes in all of Polk County and meets semi-annually. The state association, the MEA, meets annually, and all the teachers in the state are required to attend. Mr. Arthur Nom- land of Central's faculty has been elected to the governing body. The NEA is the national group which meets once a year in a large city. Repre- sentatives'are sent to this convention from all over the United States.

The languages include Latin and Spanish. Speech, journalism and six years of English comprise the language arts. A large selection of math courses are available to all students. They include seventh and eighth grade arithmetic, general, and con- sumers' math, elementary algebra, and plane geo- metry. For those who wish to study more advanced mathematics, higher algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry are offered. Among the science courses you will find general science for junior high students, and biology, chemistry, and physics which are elec- tives for senior high. Another large department is the vocational section which includes the business courses-typing, stenography, general business, and bookkeeping. Also in this section are industrial arts, home economics, art, music, health, and physical education. Social studies which is taught every year, includes history, geography, social science, Amer- ican history, world history, civics and economic geog- raphy. A new system which has been started this year has a teacher at the head of each of the depart- ments. Mr. Lehrer is acting head of history and social studies, Mrs. McCulla of English, and Miss Probstfield of mathematics. Heading the science teachers is Mr. Warren, Mr. Wood heads the voca- tional studies. DeWAYNE SUNDBY. General Sci- ence and Coaching.

This year was Darlene Biorgo's tirst year in our organization as principals' secretary, seeing that everything ran smoothly, that the new switchboard was manned, and that announcements got out on time. Miss Elizebeth Marsh again was with us as superintendent's secretary, fulfilling her job with the same smoothness that has been characteristic of her in the past. Serving in the capacity of bookkeeper, Mrs. Bernice Haugen kept records not only for Cen- tral, but also the whole Croolcston public school system. The school district owns and operates a fleet of twelve buses carrying a total of four hundred fifty- eight students from an area of approximately two hundred eighty square miles. There is also an auxil- iary bus to relieve the loads of larger buses during the spring load restrictions. The routes were run by twelve regular drivers with Vernon Skretvedt as bus manager and head mechanic. In case ot illness or need ot the thirteenth bus, Mrs. Vernon Skretvedt, one of Minnesota's few women bus drivers, served as substitute. These chautteurs not only put in time during the day on their regular routes, but also transport students and players to athletic contests, music events, and on tield trips.

Babes in the Fall To the seventh grader a junior high school is a new world, a point of no return, a threshold to adult life. In school he feels insignificant and insecure at first, outside he is full of braggadocio, boasting to lowly elementary school students because he goes to Central. Because of the program of orientation started in l956, this year's seventh graders didn't suffer severe attacks of lostrophobia in finding their way to classes. Of course, the first thing they wanted to learn was the way to the lunch room. 1 By May They're Adjusted Juvenil Though smaller than the eighth and ninth grades in numbers land sizel, these little power- houses have taken part in school activities of all types. Science club appealed to some, iunior band and mixed chorus to others. Football and basketball found interested participants. All year girls, bright as buttons, have looked up admiringly at athletic heroes and leading ladies from the upper world, anticipating the time when they will be iuniors and seniors.

Eighth graders are noisy, bumptious characters, inclined to shuffling, staying unwashed lunless caught by a maternal handl, hooting at slapstick humor, and courting cave-man style lyou pull her hair or hit him over the hecldl. After school you will find them pushing their way up to the council candy counter to squander their beggings on dime bars. These 137 personalities are an average junior high group, About 25 percent of them get on the honor roll every six weeks, and they have not yet arrived at the stage where school is more than a place to go. This is because, at eighth grade age, one is usually still groping for vocational interests and talents. Packed ith Perkyness, Pun h,and P 5 Three-Rin Rumpus The eighth graders are fond ot their extra- curricular activities. They have a balanced diet of music, for they are in junior high band and mixed chorus and have regular music classes. The boys have excelled in sports-football being their forte, for two of them played with the A squad last fall. Several of the stars in iunior high basketball came from this athletic class. In their gym classes, the boys get a start in baseball, track, skating, and hockey.

All Dressed Up ln the upside-down world of the ninth grader, the male sinks to insignitiance-physically and nu- merically, at least-as the girls tower over him in height and lord it over him for his unsophistication. The class of 1961 has l38 members, organized in two sections, boys and girls, each with its own set of officers. Being ninth graders qualifies them for that happy middle ground where they may attend both junior and senior high parties. Their big event of the year was the Freshman Valentine Party where the frosh crowned a king and queen of hearts chosen from their class. All the junior high students were invited to be guests. Someplace to Go Energetic, enthusiastic Centralites, the frosh have participated in the maiority of Central's activities. Among these are drum corps, orchestra, cheerlead- ing, sports, and declamation. For their musical de- velopment the ninth grade has organized a freshman band, choir, and glee club. Ninth grade girls are the spark plugs of the GAA. The room II8 daily chess session attracts the boys, who are there for a two-fold purpose: food for mind lthe chessb and body lthe candy barsl.

X .3 , Pirate Eleven Breaks 50-Year Jinx Central's Pirate gridmen readily clanged the vic- tory bell during the season as they rang out eight con- secutive victories to chalk up an undefeated season and their first conference championship. Out-weighed and out-sized but never out-classed or out-fought, they proudly exhibited teamwork, efficient coaching, and a determined will to win. By scoring impressive wins over Detroit Lakes, Bemidji, and Thief River Falls, the football team placed thirteenth in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune state rating. Employing a split-T formation with an occasional flanker series offense and a strong defense, the ironmen were never outrushed in total yardage-which includes running and passing-by any opponent. The Crookston starting lineup produced an average weight of only l55 pounds, They, however, in spite of their weight dis- advantage, averaged 425 yards a game rushing against an average opponents' yardage of l3O yards, they also tallied 238 points during the season while allowing their rivals only 53. This exceptional record would not have been possible without the tremendous play of the line and the extra drive put forth by the backheld. Co-captains Phil Sanders, a l55-pound end, and Ken Wold, a l75-pound fullback, along with the team's l6O-pound right halfback, Cliff Svedahl, were named to the alleconference eleven.

Beline lNancy Larumi is the scheming spouse who is after Argan's money, She also tries to turn him against his own children, Angelique and Louison, portrayed by Kathryn Kohler and Becky McAuley respectively. Angelique causes further trouble between herself and her father by falling in love with Cleante, llienneth Woldl rather than Thomas Diafoirus lRoger Voldenl. Toinette l.ludy Gorderl, the impish but loyal servant, shows Argan how he has been victimized by his wife and doctors and how he has no need of them because he is not an invalid, Angelique and Cleante receive her father's blessings through the maid's efforts also. Thomas Hauglid played Beralde, the invalid's brother, who aids Toinette. An array of doctors, and apothecary, and a notary public are all involved in the lite ot the invalid: Monsieur Diafoirus CGrayme Bartulil, Monsieur De Bonnefoi lCarol Barnessl, Dr. Purgon llean Ericksonl, and Monsieur Fleu- rant lDiane l-loseltonl. Wigs, French doors, buckled shoes, putty noses, tapestry, and the fifty members of the production staff helped to create the atmosphere of the play.

LOWER RIGHT: And from dropsy into death-where your own folly will have brought you is Monsieur Purgon's threat to Argan, LOWER LEFT: Monsieur Purgon says it's my liver that is bad. UPPER LEFT: lf Tommy is half the man you and I know he is, he'll see the iustice of your cause, and you'll both be happier together, says Mr. Carol, reassuring Ginger that her boyfriend will come back to her. Gridiron Girl Time Out For Ginger, a heartwarming comedy by Ronald Alexander, was presented on December 4 and 5 under the direction of Mr. Stanley P. Osborne. The play concerns a humorous incident in the life of a typical American family. Ginger, the young- est daughter, is determined that she is going to try out for the football team, Everyone else in the family is very much opposed to her doing so. Ginger's father can't tell her not to play football because he has recently given a very well-meaning speech on equality. Ginger goes ahead with her plan anyway and ioins the squad. Her father, who has always wanted a son, finally thinks that his dream has come true. Ginger, however, is very much insulted and gradually comes to her senses. The cast included Gretchen Heldstab, as Ginger, the youngest daughter, Bruce Gronbeck as Mr. Carol, a banker who was always giving too many speeches. The part of Mrs. Carol, an understanding mother, was played by Lucretia Olson. Kirsten Halvorsen as the Carol's oldest daughter, Joan, took the side of her flame, Eddie Davis, a 4-letterman, portrayed by Burton Bredlie. Jeannie, the Carols' I6-year-old daughter, was Joyce Berg. Tommy Greene, Ginger's intellectual boyfriend, was Leslie Gorder, and Shirley Severin took the part of the Carols' household maid.

There is the noise and the confusion of Talking and of scales being practiced be- fore Mr. Thorson raps his baton on the podium. There are the groans of those whose reed or string iust broke, the questions of the less-ambitious as to whether they have to play because they have a real bad coldsore, the tediousness of going over a piece again and again, and the feeling of satisfaction when Mr. Thorson finally says that it doesn't sound too bad. Then, after a year of hard work, contest time. We cram to learn that run that we've been skipping and hoping wouldn't be noticed. These are only a few of the in- cidents that make up a year of alternating hard work and loafing known as orchestra practice. Eight o'clock Thursday morning finds the members of the trombone quartet sleepy-eyed and yawning but ready for their early-morning practice, Another eight o'clock group is the brass sextet, who also managed to arrive at school half asleep but on time, ithat is, usu- allyl.

Central's younger musicians, enthusiastic and anxious to learn, have greatly improved this year. The junior band, which consists mostly of eighth and ninth graders, practice diligently every Wednesday while trying to consume candy, gum, popcorn, and ice cream at the some time, without getting it into their instruments. This they have found, much to their disappointment, is utterly impossible, Despite the confusion from eating, talking, and dropping their music, Mr. Thorson has been able to do wonders with the band. Before entering junior band, most members play several months in the cadet band, which is composed of students in grades 4-9 who have had little experience. The main purpose of the cadet band is to give the students additional experience, while gradually preparing them for the more complicated pieces of the iunior band. Cetting up early Tuesday mornings to practice provefl it arth while for the members of the flute octet, Besides participating in Central's band concert, they also were asked to perform for the Carman PTA.

Miss Marilyn Ryden, the adviser, aided by President Audrey Johnstad, really adds spark to the or- ganization. Water ballet, organized by Laura Cowlishaw, holds sophomore interest. They spend their Wednesday afternoons in the swimming pool practicing ballet form. This year the Sadie Hawkins party proved to be a roaring success. Apparently, the boys like to be asked out once in a while. Social dances before Homecoming and Prom have also helped the students to enioy themselves and to learn to dance. 75 muses, Builds G Is Hold it, girls - don't go under.

Successful is the word that describes the i957- 58 basketball season, Central's cagers, coached by Al Droen, posted a record of l7-7, including the District 31 title and Region 8 consolation honors. After winning l3 and losing 6 during the sea- son, the Pirates went into the district tourney favored to win, and that's just what they did by downing Fisher, 86-57, Warren, 82-51, and Thief River Falls in the tinals, 58-45. Bemidji won the Region 8 championship for the sixth consecutive year, but not before the Pirates gave them their best game of the year, according to Bun Fortier, Bemidji coach. Central came back the next night to whip Stephen, 7l-55, to take home the consolation trophy. Coach Droen will lose five men by graduation, Ken Wold, Mert Fish, Jerry Solheim, Jim McWaters, and Jim Doda, but with others like Bill Taylor, Roger McWaters, and Gerry Dohm back next year, Central can look forward to more success on the basketball court.

The Cen- tral B's had a l4-4 record, losing only to Bemidii on two occasions, and to Thief River Falls, and Moorhead. The team was made up mostly of soph- omores, with a few juniors to help out. If what the squad showed this year is a prediction of what is to come, Central can look forward tc many fine teams in the future. Composed of seventh, eighth. and ninth graders, Central's C squad compiled an overall record of lo wins and ll losses during the cage season. Under the direction of Mr. Ron Thompson and Mr. Edward Melby, the boys concentrated on the funda- mentals of basketball. The coaches commented that the program gave the boys much valuable experience.

E f i Cn Cinder Path, For the first time in many years, Central's track- S men went undefeated in all but one home dual meet with Thief River Falls. Participating in six meets, the Pirates, paced by their able captain, Pepper Lysaker, won two out of three home meets, including con- ference competition. The beaver relays, the dis- trict, and the regional title were also claimed by Crookston. In the district, Central defeated its nearest competitor by eighteen points and sent a record num- ber of boys to the region, including Rosen, Lysaker, Fish, Solheim, Coop, Orr, Svedahl, Ash, and the 880 relay team. Although regional competition was very keen, the Central thinclads squeezed by favored Bemidii by a score of 33-32, with Lysaker, Coop, Orr, and Svedahl placing. Pepper Lysaker was again high- point man of the meet. Candidates from Region 8 to the state meet were Pepper Lysaker and Tim Coop.

A banquet held at Wash- ington Grade School headed the events of the even- ing. The will was read by Paul Stenseth and the prophecy by Ouida Nachbar. The sophomores added a blithesome touch to the occasion with their bur- lesque from a TV log. Contrary to legend, the Midas Touch proved to be very expensive-in fact, it drained the junior class treasury. Golden tlovvers and shades of green crepe paper gave the eftect of a palace garden. Joe Plummer and his aggregation furnished the music tor the dance. The Grand March was led by junior and senior class presidents and their dates.

Pushing windows wide open, students daydream their way through classes in spite of teachers' threats. Climaxing the school year, spring brings new activities. Socially, banquets seem to be on the main agenda. Music, Latin, and lettermen's club feasts bring to an end the year's work. To create new money-raising schemes is the main concern of the iunior class. Car washings, bean feeds, and bake sales help accumulate sufficient funds. Although Prom is the acme of social events, the end-of-school party gives a flnal farewell to the senior graduating class. Declam always holds the interest of the more dramatically in- clined. After an exhausting search for lust the right selec- tion, the declaimers go to work cutting and memorizing. There are weeks of practice, practice, and more practice before the eliminations. Spring brings out a new flood of sports, and kids participate in everything from marbles, for the younger set, to baseball, track, tennis, and golf for the more ambitious. The climactic end to the hard work students put in throughout the year is Awards Day. Names are called, and beaming students walk slowly to the stage to accept the credit and award for their industrious year. 92 Spring fever hit these girls, for it was warm that March day. Lolly Dewar and Nancy Hanson are soak- ing up some vitamin D, but Joan Pierce and Jean Reff aren't taking any chances. l'he Busy Are Repaid Bill Taylor presents a laurel crown to Miss Alpha Morck at the annual Latin Banquet, while Mr, Leslie Knox, Dean Knox, and Arnold Keuning look on, A big spring event, the Latin students really live it up, garbed in togas, eating bread sticks, and pomum, and presenting their play.

Ten-Gun Salute to Some Wise People Judy and Ken, the class of l958's representatives to Girls' and Boys' State last summer. Seen in the best scholastic circles are the honor ten of the class of l958. Topping the list are Judy Dragseth, voledictorian, and Carol Barness, salutator- ian, both of whom are proof that it takes arduous work as well as brains to make an honor student. Third in the class is Joyce Walker. Rebecca McAuley and Donna Anderson are tied for fourth position, followed by Diane Johnson, Gary Letnes and Norma Radi ftied for sev- enthl, and James McWaters and Linda McCormick, in ninth and tenth places, respectively. Six of these seniors were last year elected to mern- bership in the National Honor Society, based on their scholarship, character, leadership, and service to Cen- tral High School: Judy Dragseth, Carol Barness, Gary Letnes, Diane Johnson, Joyce Walker, and Donna Anderson. An induction into the National Honor Society, the highest honor Central can bestow upon its top students.

We're a Varied Lot, the Class of I9 8 We were all very young when we were born, but as the years went by, we grew older, chronologically, that is. In i952 we hit Central. As the holy terrors of the school, we were feared by all. Our only accomplish- ment was building the winning homecoming float. As eighth graders we honored the school with dance in the operetta. Ah, ninth grade! Our king and our queen reigned over the Valentine party. As tenth graders we put on the bestest prom banquet program ever. Our interests took a dramatic turn in eleventh grade as we presented Green Valley. Seniors! Our refined actors turned out what was considered by many the most outstanding class play, The Imaginary Invalid. Yes, we confess we haven't been the best class, a little too air-conditioned, a bit too lazy in spots. But Central is high on our list of favorite places and our teachers, of favorite people.
