THE PROSPECTUS FLINT. CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL Student Body Publication FLINT MICHIGAN Alma Mater CL ■0 To Central High a song we sing. To praise her noble name. Here's to her colors, red and black, Ol honored deeds and fame. Join one and all to swell the song, A rousing chorus to prolong. In reverence our voices raise To Alma Mater's praise. Come, wave her colors brave on high, Her champions are we, And pledge our faith to her in song So strengthened we shall be. Join one and all to swell the song, A rousing chorus to prolong, In reverence our voices raise To Alma Mater's praise. Tho' cares may come and years may roll, In living letters set forever true. Our thoughts of you, Will linger with us yet. Join one and all to swell the song, A rousing chorus to prolong. In reverence our voices raise To Alma Mater's praise. Firm-built and bold against a blue-hued sky. Central's tower stands, as thoughts and lives pass by. Waving high above the tree implanted green, Old Glory stands symbolic of a nation's dream. Gay brook and evolution of the earth, With laughing song a tale of glad rebirth. PHILIP H. VERCOE Principal MISS GRACE PINEL Dean of Girls STANLEY O. BROOME Dean of Boys Faculty Aaron Amtsbuechler B.

Hallitt A. Johnson Football Three wins! Four defeats! One tie! While this showing doesn't seem to be especially impressive, the team played splendid ball most of the season. Pre-season ratings placed Central as a strong contender for the Saginaw Valley crown. However, a combination of stiff oppo- sition, injuries, and bad breaks proved the Tribesmen's downfall in four contests. Central's Head Coach, Howard Auer, fash- ioned an imposing forward wall but these players didn't hit their stride until mid- season. Jerry Udell again coached the back- field and developed several excellent runners and passers. Stan Broome ably served in the capacity of trainer. Norm Jones and Rex Parsell were high scorers on the sguad, both performing excel- lently. Although Rex scored only 21 points as compared to 24 scored by Jones, never- theless he was the outstanding player on the team. In addition to being named to the All-Valley first team at end, he was named to the All-State team. Others in the backfield whose work was outstanding were Don Delude, Ed Loder, John Johnson, Jesse Thomas, and Buddy Pratt. Bulwarks of the forward wall were All-Valley Center A1 Johnson, All-Valley End Hank Minarik, Guards Mark Lynch and George Brown, and Tackles Don Cummings and Ted DeCourval. In addition to those mentioned above. 1945 Prospectus 14 those who received letters were the fol- lowing: Manley Benmark, Bill Cheeley, lack Hallitt, Jim Fullwood, Frank Melzow, George Men- outes, Willard Revord, Harold Scott, Ray Steffen, Barry Tillage, Eugene Vaughn, and Asher Yaffee. The Tribe gridders opened their season against Muskegon. Stopped two yards short of the goal by the final gun. Central went down to a 9-6 defeat. The second game of the season was also against a non-Valley team, Lansing Sexton. The Lansing team won 2-0 by a safety in the last two minutes of play. The third game was the first decisive loss for Central, bowing to Saginaw 25 - 0. Sagi- naw went on to a perfect season, winning the Valley title and the mythical state cham- pionship. The next game was dropped 14 -13 to Owosso, the Trojans winning on a de- flected pass. Rated the underdogs in their fifth start, Howard Auer's Indians displayed consider- able power in drubbing the Arthur Hill Lum- berjacks by a 20 - 7 score. Norm Jones scored twice in this battle. Fighting to maintain their winning ways. Central ran into a muddy field and a determined team at Bay City and were forced to settle for a 12-12 deadlock. The Red-Blacks tuned up for the annual Turkey Day classic by trouncing Pontiac. Pontiac, rated a heavy favorite, had a tre- mendous weight advantage, but the inspired Tribesmen passed over them for a 19-0 win.

Smith R. Steffen I. Thomas W. Walker A. Yaffee Football gave the Indians their second consecutive win over Northern's gridders. For the first time since 1933, Flint Central will be in a position to retire a Wildanger trophy in their next feud with the North Enders. The 1944 win over the Vikings by a 19-6 score equalled the margin achieved in the 1943 encounter when the under-rated Tribesmen toppled the Norse 13-0. The captains for the game were Rex Parsell and Dominic Tomasi. Northern won the toss and elected to receive. The Tribe received a scoring opportunity shortly after when they recovered a Viking fumble 18 yards from the goal. However, they lost the ball by the same method two plays later. The first half was essentially a stalemate with the teams see-sawing up and down the field, but neither was able to capitalize on the few scoring chances offered. Northern finally broke the ice early in the third period when Godby broke over tackle for 22 yards. DeCourval blocked the attempted placement. Central struck back a few minutes later on a 63 - yard thrust. After Scott had brought the ball to the Central 40, Jesse Thomas threw a long pass to Barry Tillage who went over for the tying marker. The score remained deadlocked until midway through the last quarter. Then Jones struggled off tackle for a score from the two-yard line. The ball had been advanced that far largely due to the efforts of Harold Scott. The third score came after George Brown had carried a blocked punt to the one-foot line. Norm Jones again carried the ball over and Mark Lynch kicked the extra point . 1945 Prospectus 16 RESERVE SQUAD—Front Row: Thayer, F. Williams, Gardner, Mumby, Sutton. Welch, Kalmar. Berry, Wirsing.

Reserve Football The Indian reserve football team did not compile an outstanding record for the season, but they did have a successful season in regard to the principal function of reserve teams. The gridders, mostly Sophomores, gained valuable experience from their inter- scholastic competition and will benefit by this when they advance to varsity status. The coaching staff was revised somewhat this season. Jim Richards took over the post of cheer-leading mentor and he was replaced on the reserve staff by Bill Melzow who recently transferred from Northern. Homer Parker retained the coaching role he had last year. The Red - Blacks compiled a record of three wins and five defeats during the season, but they played better than this would indicate. Not one of their opponents in the Saginaw Valley registered a decision over the team. However, the Tribe was not able to gain a single victory over a non-Valley opponent. The Indian reserves opened their season by defeating the Owosso Trojans, 7 - 6. Other wins were scored against the Saginaw Tro- jans and Pontiac Chiefs. The Tribesmen suffered losses to Corunna, Lapeer, Bendle, MSD, and Flint Tech. MSD had an excep- tionally strong team. None of the local schools of the same class had much success against them. The last game of the season was a 19 -18 loss to Tech. A score on a desperation pass proved to be the turning point of this encounter.

Cross Country- Faced with many difficult situations im- posed by wartime conditions, the cross country team and the Coach, Nap LaVoie, proved their merit by taking the Saginaw Valley crown. Their record equalled or sur- passed that of any other athletic team in Central. The harriers were undefeated against Valley opposition, their only loss being to a very strong Royal Oak squad. Five impres- sive wins compiled an .833 percentage for them. Coach LaVoie was handicapped by the total lack of lettermen from the 1943 team. However, this was offset somewhat by the presence of two varsity men from the 1944 track team, Bill Speckin and Jim Marr. Both of these boys were outstanding during the season. Many on the cross country squad had no previous experience and had to be groomed for starting roles. The Red - Black runners opened the 1944 campaign by subduing Arthur Hill 20-35 at Dort Field. They next met Bay City in two consecutive meets, winning 26 - 29 there and 26 - 33 on the home course. The season was concluded with a triangular fray involving the Tribe, Northern, and Arthur Hill. The scores in this meet were Central 25, Arthur Hill 45, and Northern 73. This meet was probably their most impressive of the season. For their participation in the required num- ber of meets, seven members of the team received varsity letters. They were Earl Buffey, Dale DeWitt, Bob Laurain, Jim Marr, Elwyn Pilley, Bill Speckin, and John Voorheis. Numerals were received by Earl Escue, Max Nichols, Jerry O'Boyle, and Jack Shively. 1945 Prospectus 18 Reserve Basketball The reserve basketeers had a rather poor record to show for the efforts for the season, but this was neither the fault of the players or the coach, Jerry Udell. Something more to their credit than winning ball games was the fact that several boys who started on the reserves had enough ability to gain the varsity team when that squad became short-handed. Had the Indian reserves played the entire season with the boys who started on the squad, they would no doubt have compiled an outstanding record. Jerry Udell turned up three outstanding Sophs early in the season and these boys were promoted to the varsity. They were Van Williams, LeRoy Middleton, and Bob Steffen. Warren Bunyan was another who made the varsity ranks. In all, practically three separate teams were used during the season, and among them, they gathered 3 wins and 11 losses. One of the sore spots of the season was the loss of three contests to Northern in the Little City Series . Not including those boys who went to the varsity, 13 received awards. They were Ray Page, Howard Welch, Jack Skaff, Jim Winters, Art Reynolds, Sam Allen, Wes Waldron, Les Farkas, Bill Oroz, Chuck Knowles, Jerry Myers, Louie Szabo, Ken Slaght, and John Lancaster.

Swimming The Indians finished a swimming season which on the record looked poor, with two wins, two ties, and six losses. However, competition during the season was unusually keen, and two of the Tribe's losses were to the State championship Arthur Hill Lumber- jacks. Coach Bob Richardson and Stan Broome, coach of diving, were given some outstanding performances during the season by the team. The relay teams were the strong point of the squad. Central also was strong in diving, giving many fine performances. The two relay teams and several others competed in the State Class A meet at East Lansing, but Central did not place. The Red - Black mermen scored wins over Bay City and Royal Oak, both by large scores. Bay City was dunked by a 52 - 32 score and Royal Oak fell, 53-31. The Indians tied Bay City in the second meeting between the two schools, and also tied Lansing East- ern in an earlier meet. Thirteen varsity and one reserve award was made for the season. Delbert Randall and James McCarthy received manager's letters. Those who earned their second swimming letter were: Jim Adair, Francis Bartlett, Royce Bloomer, George Brown, Ted DeCourval, Charles House, and Norm Jones. First awards were made to Pat Gammon, Norman Gilles- pie, Hugh Grover, Jim Murray, Neil Stalker, and Bob Vowell.

Track The Indian track squad with exception- ally strong performances in several events and an all-round balance was one of the best at Central in several years. Six boys gathering 19 Vi points gave Central fourth place in the State Indoor Track Tournament coached by Stan Broome and Bill Melzow. The outstanding performers throughout the season were Owen lackson, first-place dash- man in the state meet; Jesse Thomas, hurdler and jumper; Ted DeCourval, pole vaulter; Norm Jones, quarter-miler; and Jim Marr, miler. The relay team also gave some bril- liant performances running near 1:35. It was composed of Bill Speckin, Jack Harrison, Jones, and Jackson. A number of others also gave good per- formances. By events, they were: hurdles— Jack Hallitt, Joe Klobucher, Walter Novak, and Jack Hayes; dash man—Jack Marr; distance men—Edward Eriksen, Wayne Root, John Voorheis, Richard Graves, Jim Adair, J. D. Williams, Burton Walker, and Elwyn Pilley; shot-putters—Chuck Robbins and Warren Knowles. Tennis The tennis team, under the direction of Coach Clement Rowe, turned in many fine performances and compiled a favorable record for the season. Mr. Rowe had three lettermen returning from the previous sea- son, Paul Buben, Bob Meythaler, and Norm Beattie, with Buben and Meythaler relied on to carry the biggest load. Tom Muhn, a numeral winner from the 1944 season, was also on hand. The netters had two principal objectives for the 1945 campaign. First of all they wanted to beat Northern, and secondly, they wanted to better their '44 record. After defeating Northern for the City title for six consecutive seasons, the Norsemen spilled the Red-Black's last season. The Tribes' record from the previous season was two wins against three losses in a season con- siderably curtailed by war-time travel dif- ficulties. The team competed in nine meets in 1945.

Golf With a team that boasted three polished lettermen supported by an able corps of mostly new golfers, the Flint Central links- men paraded through an eleven-meet schedule with an impressive record. The team got off to a good start winning 451 to 474 over a hapless Arthur Hill five. The veterans that Coach Dick Evans had on hand were Frank Young, Paul Zavalla and Ed Zavalla. Heading the list of their supporters were Pat Gammon, numeral winner in 1944, Phil Timyan, and Bob Vowell. Other Indians who saw some service and should be stalwarts for next season's team were Junior George Coulman and two sophs, Tom Elder and Gene Mishler. Two Seniors who were on the squad this past season were Dave Coon and Don Dutton. Baseball The baseball nine, sporting seven letter- men including three veteran hurlers and two excellent receivers, proved one of the best at Central in recent years. Coach Jerry Udell's charges gave a good account of themselves in both Saginaw Valley and City competition. The lettermen on hand for the season were pitchers—Manley Benmark, Willard Revord, and Southpaw Phil Timyan; catchers—Ken Sheffer and Don DuLude; infielder—Bob Elston; outfielder—Bob Reynolds. Also on hand as a third catcher was Jim Bersinger. The regular infield has Ray Steffen at first, Rollie Benford playing second, Scotty Wilson combining with Elston at short, and Don Morrow handling third. Wally Knob- lock, Bob Lambert, and George Brown covered left and right field. Art Stewart, Leon Wilcox, Eddie Wheeler, Doc Hodgins, and Don LaDuke were all pitching candidates.

By being active in one or more of these sports, the girls gained points toward their school letter. Basketball is considered one of the most popular girls' sports at Central, and had an especially large turnout this year. Volley- ball also seemed to be particularly liked by the girls. Both Junior and Senior Life- saving was offered this year as a part of the sports program, and a large number of girls received their badges. Later in the year field hockey and baseball were played, completing the sports program for the girls. Much credit should go to the managers of these teams, who spent long hours keep- ing the equipment in shape. The Managers were Evelyn Francis, basketball; Shirley Hatfield, field hockey; Beth Soule, bowling; Margorie Sperry, swimming; Shirley Davis, softball; Mary Ballantyne, hiking; and Catherine Smith, volleyball manager. Miss Prahl, Mrs. Park, and Miss Carlson, the gym teachers, should also be thanked for their work. The Girl's Athletic Association is posed of girls who have earned fifty points towards their letters. Through the G. A. A., the girls have a chance to complete their total of points and add to their sports in- terests. GIRLS' SWIMMING—Front Row: M. Elwood. R. Lang. J. Clement, A. Groom, K. Earl, N.

FOOTBALL MANAGERS—(left to right) Tom Muhn Don Sanderlin. Herb Bowers, and Sam Dockery A tense moment! The stadium was packed to capacity for the annual Thanksgiving Day game. Junior Miss Junior Miss , a sparkling comedy pre- sented by the Junior Class, added another to their long record of successful plays. Staged on the nights of November 3rd and 4th, Junior Miss held everyone's attention until the final curtain. Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown directed the production. This three-act comedy was concerned with the amusing problems of a typical teen-age American girl growing up. During the course of the play she had her first date, became involved in her father's business affairs, played cupid to a bachelor uncle, and did many other surprising things. It all ended happily, however, with Judy's problems miraculously solved. The cast was as follows: Judy, Jackie Jenniches, Billie Lester; Fuffy, Patty John, Eleanor Johnson; Lois, Ruth Forsman, Mar- guerite Clason; Grace, Barbara Gerholz, Joan Whitman; Hilda, Mary Margaret Elwood; Harry, Howard Bauer, Charles Krause; Joe, Said Farah; J.

Juniors having charge of production were: Student director, Pat Anderson; sound effects, Delores Bacon; properties, Joann Finn; pub- licity, Joyce Titus; and costumes, Evelette Mumaugh. Faculty members on the production were: Properties, Mrs. Nurmi; costumes, Mrs. Van Ess; publicity, Miss Bradley; ushers, Mr. Misner; tickets, Mr. Rarick; stage director, Mr. Short and Mr. Davidson; programs, Mrs. Hutchinson. 1945 Prospectus 28 A Cappella Choir The Central A Capella Choir is an organi- zation of which every Central student can be justly proud. It was one of the very first high school A Cappella Choirs, and can now be considered one of the finest. Vocalists who sing a cappella must pos- sess or cultivate a fine ear for tones, for the pitch must be maintained without the aid of any musical instrument. Each singer is given a try-out before he is given a place in the choir. It has always been an honor to be a member of the Central A Cappella Choir. The choir officers are: Jack Cojeen, Presi- dent; Paul Schroeder, Vice-President; Betty Sears, Peg Pieffer, Secretaries; Howard War- ren, Ruth Olson, Treasurers; Fred Smythe, Librarian. This year the choir has contributed to the Kaleidoscope, Spring Concert, Rotary Club, School Workshop of the Air broadcasts, M. E. A. Convention, and several other im- portant engagements. Mr. Walter Bloch is the director of the choir. The many fine performances of this organization gave evidence of his ability and workmanship, and the sincerity on the part of the choir members. The Central A Cap- pella Choir will always be regarded as a significant part of the traditions and school life at Central.

Under the efficient management of Mrs. Maude S. Beagle, the Kaleidoscope provided an evening of excellent entertainment. The performance was given on three nights— November 30th, December 1st and 2nd. The theme On to Victory and Peace was appropriately introduced with the opening chorus, smartly dressed as Marines and Red Cross Nurses marching down the aisle to the tune of the Marines' Hymn , and led by the Master and Mistress of Ceremonies, James Fogleman and Nancy Crombie. Included in the ranks were J. Autry, J. Foy, V. Green, L. Swain, A. Zierleyn, M. Perisa, J. Maatsch, P. Gerdes, M. Rentschler, M. Lavely, C. Jen- sen, D. Espinosa as nurses. As Marines were David and Dick Jennings, J. Sim, D. Hodgins, P. Zavalla, D. Layton, R. Ives, J. Cojeen, P. Schroeder, J. Hallitt, D. Brockway, and J. O'Marzo. The Music Department presented Central's Orchestra, A Cappella Choir, and Boys' Glee Club under the Direction of Walter Bloch. The Concert Band, conducted by Edwin Merrill, gave an amusing little parody en- titled Three Trees . The melodious outpour- ings of the band and the excellent reading by Romain Johnson combined in making this act very popular among the audience. The Drama Department presented a well- dramatized one-act play entitled Nobody Home . Mrs. Helen Brown was the director. JIM FOGLEMAN and NANCY CROMBIE Master and Mistress of Ceremonies Presided Over the 1945 Kaleidoscope 1945 Prospectus 30 Kaleidoscope The Attic Players introduced a novel act into the evening by featuring a Gay '90's Revue. Some of the high points of this act were the Floradora Sextet, Bicycle Built for Two, Barbershop Quartet, and a reading, Woodman Spare That Tree . Mrs. Maude Beagle directed this act. A stirring dramatization, Letter to Private Smith , was presented by the Belle Masque under the direction of Mrs. Helen Brown. In this act a serious and timely idea was given, enacting a soldier's life and the consequences of his absence at home. As usual the girls' ballet was one of the most beautiful and popular acts. This year's presentation was The Lady and the Juggler . The ballet takes place in a French village where the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary is being celebrated. As various groups come and present their gifts to her shrine, a poor wandering juggler sadly stands and silently watches them, for he has no gift to give. In a final and lovely scene, the juggler in des- peration does his juggling act for the Virgin. The Virgin suddenly comes to life, and, stepping from her pedestal, blesses the jug- gler, who has given his only and best gift. Dolores Espinosa gave several entertaining and well - done impersonations in a front curtain act. The last act was based on ideas from The Mexican Hayride complete with a bull fight, dance numbers, and a swing band all in Mexican array. The Finale came with the Opening Chorus marching onto a darkened stage, impressively lit by waving flashlights, to the music of When the Lights Go On Again All Over the World. Assisting Mrs. Beagle were Mrs. Leo Church, dance director; Miss Doetsch, chorus; Mr. Davey, makeup; Mr. Misner, ushers; Mr. Percy Davidson, stage; Mrs. Margaret Hutchison, art. 31 1945 Prospectus Orchestra The Central Orchestra is one of the long- established organizations at Central. Under the direction of Mr. Walter Bloch, the orch- estra has practiced faithfully to achieve a quality of work representative of the highest musical standards.

Each member of the orchestra must spend many hours each week in pri- vate practice, sectionals, and joint rehearsal, before the numbers attain their final polish.

Many new members were added to its personnel this year making the total membership of the band seventy-two in number. The President of the band this year was Ed Laisey. Other officers are Dave Stiff, treasurer, Clarence Shoup, librarian, Dave Colona, vice president. Jack Evans was student director. The Concert Band has had a number of programs in which it participated. It per- formed for the M. E. A. convention, the Kaleidoscope, the Spring Concert and at several assemblies. One of the outstanding programs of the year for the band was the combined concert with the Northern Band. The fine appearance that the concert band makes with its shining instruments and smart uniforms is worthy of their reputation at Central. The concert band, for its ability and contribution to the school, deserves much credit. Band Personnel FLUTES—Frederick Craig, Nancy Hocky, Ross LaVanway.

Under the direction of Mrs. Helen H. Brown, the play was skillfully dramatized and was greatly enjoyed by the audience. The plot was built around the lives of the famed couple Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning and the dominance of Mr. Barrett over his family, which was finally broken through Elizabeth's courage. Elizabeth had been a hopeless invalid until Browning gave her the inspiration to lead a normal active Play life. The rest of the Barrett family also figured prominently in the play. The cast included Pat Mudget, Lois Middle- ton, Elizabeth; Jack Cojeen, Frank Sim, Father Barrett; Barbara Webber, Pauline Stewart, Henrietta; Ted Wagonlander, George Bar- rett; Pat Gammon, Calvin Blasdell, Octa- vious; Joanne Tremaine, Barbara Cosand, Arabel. Other characters were Dorothy Warner, Milly; Clifford Miller, John Kenyon; Dorothy Buesching, Beth Schultz, the maid; Bill Hyde, Captain Cook; Jack Hallitt, Max Nichols, Robert Browning; Peggy Piffer, Betty Jo Duncan, Miss Mitford. 1945 Prospectus 34 MIXED CHORUS—Front Row: R.

Mixed Chorus The Mixed Chorus is a new branch of our music department this year. Every day during the third hour this large and enthus- iastic group meets. They are accompanied and directed by Miss Doetsch on the piano. Central has been privileged in hearing the results of these practices several times during the past year. In the Kaleidoscope the Mixed Chorus sang several numbers for a back- ground to the ballet. In the Christmas assem- blies the chorus sang the cantata Led by a Star in an impressive program. The Mixed Chorus members also took part in the Spring Concert. On April 22 the mixed chorus presented the stirring program America Sings . The Mixed Chorus has accomplished much in their first year of organization, and it can be expected that in coming years the Mixed Chorus will have a prominent place among the music groups at Central. Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club under the capable direction of Miss Louise Doetsch has attained widespread acclaim for their ability. This year it has a membership of sixty-one girls. This talented group has been much in demand. On October 12th, they appeared before the P. T. A. division in the M. E. A. convention. Carols were sung at the McFar- land Home on December 12 and in Central's halls on December 15. The Glee Club sang at Homedale school Founder's Day Tea on February 13, and during one set of music assemblies. They also took part in the Spring Concert. GIRLS GLEE CLUB—Front Row: E. Beckwith. B.

The String Quartette is a popular form of entertainment in the music world. This year the quartette has performed for the Masonic Temple, Woman's Federation, Sorosis Club, and the Court Street Methodist Church. The Madrigal is a group of eight singers who sing without the aid of a musical instrument. The Madrigal sings all types of music, working especially on English music written for this type of group. The Madrigal has appeared at Sorosis Club, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and the Masonic Temple. The Boys' Glee Club is a group of boys who meet weekly for an hour of enjoyment through the singing of both sacred and secular music. They presented the act A Cornfield Melody in the Kaleidoscope. Spring Concert Our Annual Spring Concert was presented on Sunday afternoon, April 8, and was enjoyed by a large audience. The concert was opened by the Concert orchestra play- ing the Star Spangled Banner, and it then played a group of three numbers: Prelude- Bach; First Movement of String Quartette- DeLamarter; Polevetzian Dancer from the Opera Prince Igor -Borodin. The next group was the Girls' Glee Club which sang several numbers: Life Has Loveliness to Sell ; Ave Maria ; The Sleep That Flits on Baby's Eyes ; Let My Song Fill Your Heart ; The Brass Band . The Concert Band presented the Finale from the Symphony in B Flat by Fanchet and the difficult overture to Runzi by Wagner. The A cappella Choir then sang Lovely Heart , Babylon is Fallen , Beautiful Savior , I Wonder As I Wander , Sere- nade , and Macushla with Evelyn Swift and Fred Smythe as soloists. The concert was closed with two mass numbers combining the orchestra, Girl's Glee Club, and the Choir. They were Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring , and Onward Ye Peoples by Jean Sibelius.

The scenes alternated in an Athenian palace and the woods nearby. The plot dealt mainly with the troubles caused by a mis- chievous fairy Puck between two pairs of lovers; the rehearsal and presentation of a play for the Duke's wedding by a group of comedians; and the moonlight quarrel of a fairy king and queen. The play ends happily, however, with the lovers united, the comedians rewarded; and the king and queen forgetting their differences. The play was an outstanding success due to the fine direction of Mrs. Maude S. Beagle and the performances of the cast. The cast was Jack Cojeen, Theseus; loan Whitman, P. Gerdes, Hippolyta; P. Shively, Philostrate; P. Small, D. Hodgins, Egeus; M. Morrison, D. Espinosa, Hermia; R. Ives, P. Schroeder, Lysander; F. Collins, J. Atkins, Demetrius; B. Gerholz, M. Clason, Helena.

Debate Debate, the formal matching of wits on the speaker's stand, had a very active and fruitful year despite war time traveling conditions. The Proposition for the season was: Resolved: That the Legal Voting Age should be Lowered to Eighteen Years. After many practice tournaments, Central was ready for the valley debate. In the first Saginaw Valley Tournament the team won first place, winning nine debates of the possible twelve. The second tournament was held at Central. The squad won seven of twelve of these debates and was ranked in second place, excelled only by Bay City. By winning second place in the Valley, the Central Team qualified for the state elimi- nation series for the ninth consecutive year. In the first elimination tournament Central won three debates, all on the affirmative. They defeated Flint Tech., Vassar, and Mt. Morris in a meet held at Central. On March 14, Charles Tucker and Anne Zierleyn won the unanimous decision from Royal Oak on the affirmative. In the semi- finals this same team debated, this time on the negative, unfortunately losing by a two to one decision to Lansing Eastern, closing the season. The major portion of the credit for the squad's fine season should go to Coach Harold Hawley, who spent many hours working the team members into a smooth- running and highly efficient squad. HAROLD E. HAWLEY Debate Coach 1945 Prospectus 38 Spring Speech The Spring Speech Forensic activities have been very enthusiastically received by speech students this year.

Prospectus The Prospectus, Central High's year book, has been an annual publication for the last 39 years. The Prospectus Staff of 1945 has again tried to bring to the students of Central a complete recording of every phase of school life during the past year. Despite war-time shortages on necessary materials, the staff presents the 1945 Prospectus to the students of Central as a book which will be a lasting memory of Central, through descriptions and pictures of the building and campus, the faculty, fellow students, sports, clubs, and the many other activities and events which were a part of the school yet r. Making up the Prospectus staff were Paul Schroeder, Editor-in-Chief; Anne Zierleyn, Associate Editor; Bill Brasie, Assistant Editor; Delores Robinson, Staff Typist, and Vada Green, Business Manager. Mr. Stracke and Mrs. Wellington were the sponsors. Other Editors were Beth Schultz, Seniors; Dick Rappley, Boys' Sports; Cohleen Jensen, Fine Arts; Nayda Piggott, clubs; Norma Macklewich, Organizations; Dolores Espi- nosa assisted by Romain Johnston, Art.- Violet Mitson, Girls' Sports; Russ Ives and Jerry Jurasek, photography. The Prospectus staff has spent many hours preparing and planning the write-ups, the pictures, the drawings and the many other necessary items which go into the making of this book. The final publication of the Prospectus is the realization and sole reward for their efforts. 41 1945 Prospectus A few of the lighter moments at Central. Top left: Mr. Redd and his electric machine.

The members must also belong to the Student Union and have good scholastic standing. Loraine Martin is the President of the F Club and Shirley Hatfield is the Vice President. The other officers are Dorothy Warner, Secretary and Nancy Crombie, Treasurer. The F Club had several social activities this year, among which was a joint party with the Varsity Club. Varsity Club The Varsity Club is one of the newly or- ganized clubs at Central. This club is com- posed of all boys who have earned a school letter through participation in some sport. Rex Parsell was the original President of the club, succeeded by Norm Jones upon his entering the Navy. Bob Lambert is Vice President; Paul Zavalla, Secretary; and Jack Hallitt is Treasurer. The club's main project of the year was to introduce a clause into the S. U. Consti- tution forbidding the wearing of stripes on letter sweaters except by those qualified.

This is composed of Cen- tral's leading girls who have presided as officers in the Student Union, the President of the G.A.A., the Girl Reserves and the Thalians, and high - ranking girls on the Arrow Head and Prospectus staffs. This organization differs from most clubs in that it does not have club officers, and does not have set meetings. Commanderins meet when they believe it necessary to con- sider problems from the girls' point of view. In such cases, they meet with Miss Pinel, who is the club sponsor. The Commanderins were organized by Miss Pinel in 1930. Chiefs Club The Chiefs Club, in reality the reorganized Skippers, is one of the outstanding honor groups in Central. The original club was organized in 1930 by Mr. J. E. Well wood, and was reorganized this year by Mr. Vercoe under the new name, Chiefs . This group is composed of the boys who are considered leaders in the school, namely, boy officers of the classes, of the Student Union, and the high - ranking boys of the Arrow Head or Prospectus. A boy is still a member whether he is re-elected or not the following year. The Chiefs do not have officers or regular meetings, but meet with Mr. Vercoe to discuss school affairs and problems whenever it is thought desirable. CHIEFS CLUB—Left to right: Bill Matheson.

Alpha Rho Tau The Alpha Rho Tau, sponsored by Mrs. Margaret Hutchison, is an honorary club for all active art students. Through their art classes and outside work, these students contribute an important part in the success of many school activities. This year club members printed games, made wall hangings, and designed menus and Christmas cards for the Junior Red Cross. They also painted scenery for the play Midsummer Night's Dream , made linoleum blocks for program covers, and helped with the decorations for Student Union dances. In the spring the club had a 'Sketch Picnic' to which members brought sketching pads and pencils and made drawings of outdoor life and scenery. Inter-Racial Committee The Inter - Racial Committee, organized only last spring, has been very active during the year. The committee, under the guidance of Miss Florence Riddell, meets to discuss the various problems between races and the solutions to these conditions. On February 26, the committee arranged to bring the movie The Negro Soldier to the Central auditorium. Later they held, in cooperation with the Forum, a panel on Inter- racial problems. Members of the committee also attended several Urban League meet- ings. Through these and other activities, the Inter-racial committee hopes to make Central a place in which there will be ideal inter- racial harmony.

Forum Forum is an organization of students who discuss current events and problems. At frequent intervals, special meetings are held consisting of well-informed speakers, who gave their viewpoints of the question under discussion, and then answered ques- tions asked by the audience. This year Tony Mansour presided as President, Paul Zavalla as Vice-President, and Delores Robison was Secretary. Miss Hodges is the sponsor. The largest meeting of the season was a discussion of the inter - racial problem held jointly with the inter - racial committee. Mohawk Hi-Y The Mohawk Hi-Y meets once a week, alternating business and discussion meet- ings with game night. The officers are Dallas Hodgins, President; Bill Williams, Vice-Pre- sident; Scotty Wilson, Treasurer; Jim Ber- singer, Secretary; Mr. Ralph Misner, club sponsor. Topics this year were How the Hi-Y Teaches One to Live, How the Hi-Y Teaches One to Choose, and similar topics. The boys from the club ushered at school productions. The Hi-Y had a basketball team in the Y league and was represented at the Hi-Y conference at Owosso. MOHAWK HI-Y—Front Row: Walter Novak, Jim Marr, Jim Messmore.

Since it is necessary to spend three years in perfecting the skill of applying grease paint, the club admits only Sophomores to its ranks. Among its activities this year was the responsibility for making up the casts of the Junior Play, Kaleidoscope, Christmas Assem- bly, Senior Play, and the Attic Players' play. The officers for the year were: President, Martha Rentschler, and Secretary-Treasurer, Romain Johnston. German Club To Central's list of active clubs this year the newly - organized German Club was added. This club, sponsored by Miss Elsa Dietrich, is open to all German students who are interested in becoming better acquainted with the customs and folk lore of Germany. The club meets once every month, alter- nating one social with one business meeting. At their meetings they listen to German re- cordings, play German games, and report on German folk tales.

In the fall it was meeting under the name of Khem Klub, but as the year continued, the subject field broadened and the name was changed. The officers of the club are Cerisa Mitchell, President; and Barbara Gerholz, Secretary. Mr. Henry, occasionally assisted by some of the other science teachers, was faculty advisor to the club. Part of each meeting was spent with chem- istry and the remainder with physics. Cold light, man-made lightning, acetylene gas effects and absorption of carbon monoxide by the blood, were some of the experiments. The club also provided a somewhat mysti- fying show for the Pow-Wow. Belle Masque The Belle Masque is Central's oldest drama club. This club, which is sponsored by Mrs. Helen Hardy Brown, is composed of drama and public speaking students who have shown unusual ability, and who have a C average or above. This year the club presented a Christmas program at the Whaley Home, a one - act play in the Kaleidoscope, and a short skit on the radio. The social highlights of the year were the formal initiation of new mem- bers, a Christmas Party, a fine arts ball, and the initiation of members into the National Thespian Association. Pam Steffler is the President of the Belle Masque; David Jennings and Bob Straight, Vice-President; LaVonne Swaine, Secretary; and Beth Schultz, Treasurer. BELLE MASQUE—Front Row: Nancy Brown.

Thalians The Thalian Honorary Literary Society is composed of girls who have an A average in English and a B average in all other subjects, and who are well recommended by their English teachers. This year the activities of the Thalians included sponsoring a Quatrain contest, making scrapbooks for service men, and collecting white elephants for the Pow-wow. At their monthly meetings the girls devoted much time to the study of mythology, its origin and meaning. The officers were Cohleen Jenson, Presi- dent; Mary Lavely, Vice-President; Patty John, Secretary; and Grace Sohn, Treasurer. Shutter Bugs The Shutter Bugs is a group of Central students who are interested in photography. This club was organized on December 6th, 1944. The aim of the club is to highlight, with photographs, the various activities of Central. The officers for the year are: President, Russell Ives; Secretary, Martha Morrison; Treasurer, Bill Hyde; Corresponding Secre- tary, Dolores Robinson; Sergeant - at - Arms, Howard Breeden. Among other activities the club submitted photographs of our school to the Scholastic Roto, learned the fundamentals of developing and printing pictures, and took shots of many of the school social affairs.

Attic Players Fourteen years of service has not lessened the activity of one of Central's most popular organizations—the Attic Players—who claim to be not only one of the largest groups in the school, but also one of the few who have an even number of each sex as members. A new type of play was introduced to Central when they presented Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream as their annual play. This comedy, acclaimed for over 300 years, was received with pleasure by its audience. As their contribution to the Kaleidoscope, earlier in the fall, the Attic Players gave an amusing Gay '90's Re- view . The students especially enjoyed A Bicycle Built for Two , while many oldsters hailed the Flora Dora Sextette as very authentic. Among their many activities, the Players presented various one-act plays to outside groups, and sent scrapbooks. Reader's Di- gests, cards, and club bulletins to members who are now in the service. The officers — all Seniors — were: James Fogleman, President; Dolores Espinosa, Vice- President; Jack Cojeen, Second Vice-Presi- dent; Betty Jo Duncan, Secretary; and Paul Schroeder, Treasurer. Maude Stewart Beagle is the capable sponsor of this club, and director of its productions. ATTIC PLAYERS BOYS—Front Row: Ray Boutin. Said Farah, James Fogleman. Floyd Hackett. Maude S. Beagle.

Latin Club The Latin Club has set up, and achieved, very high standards this year. Their purpose has been to promote interest in Latin and allied subjects; and to have social gatherings of pupils interested in these things . This well-known organization held meet- ings once a month either at school or in a member's home, and presented programs of interest to Latin students. Any student re- ceiving semester grades of A or B is eligible for membership. Officers for 1944 - 45 were: President, Bar- bara Gerholz; Vice-President, Robt. Straight; Secretary and Treasurer, Nancy Somers. Mrs. Adda Babcock acts as sponsor of this group. Booker T. Washington Hi-Y The Booker T. Washington Hi-Y was created to carry on the ideals of the famous American Negro, Booker T. Washington. This club is sponsored by Mr. Richardson. The club has monthly meetings through- out the school year. At these meetings the business is taken care of, and plans for coming events are set up. Also discussions of various present-day topics are held, and occasionally a speaker is presented. Be- sides these regular meetings, the boys participate in sports on special evenings, and have a few parties during school year. The Booker T. Washington Hi-Y has fine ideals and does much in furthering the higher principals of Central. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON—Front Row: Dick McDonald, I. L. Greenridge.

Press Club Girl Reserves The Press Club was revived and re-organ- ized this year into a new and better club. The purpose of this club is to increase the knowledge of journalism by having special speakers and study. Any student who takes part in a Central publication (namely Arrow Head or Prospectus) is eligible for member- ship. The total membership for the year was about 40 students. One of the most interesting events of the year was the meeting in which Mr. Robert Schnuck, of the Flint Journal, spoke. Officers for the year included: Jack Cojeen, President; June Davis, Vice-President; Vada Green, Secretary; and Paul Shively, Treas- urer. Miss Lee sponsors this organization. The Girl Reserves or Y Girls (as they are sometimes known) have been very active this year. They attended several lectures and discussions of the inter - racial problems, sponsored a theater party, and collected and strung buttons which were badly needed in Holland. They also spent one week-end in camp as a group, and in addition, sent a representative to the two-week summer con- ference at Camp Tyrone. Their officers for the year were: Connie Kramer, President; Marilyn Ault, Vice-Presi- dent; Ann Wyndell, Secretary; and Helen Huffman, Treasurer. The club is sponsored by Miss Wellington.

Sports activities are an- other favorite, with baseball and basketball high on this list. Doc really likes Boogie Woogie when played right . Bill Williams and Archie, Doc's dog, are his best pals. Besides being president of our Student Coun- cil, Doc is president of the Mohawk Hi-Y and was president of the Sophomore class. He is an A average student and his ambition is to be a surgeon specializing in bone surgery. DOC HODGINS The new corresponding secretary is Pat O'Keefe who came from Longfellow. Pat has that envied combination of blue eyes and black hair. She stands five feet two and one- half inches tall and claims to be unattached at the present. Pat caters to sports, especially ice-skating and basketball. She dotes on chicken dinners and I'll Walk Alone by Tommy Dorsey. Miss Mabel Pinel rates tops as her favorite teacher list while Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman are tops on the movie star list. This loyal Centralite's ambi- tion is to go to college. PAT O'KEEFE JOHN CHRISTIANSEN The Student Council vice - president this year is six feet tall, weighs 160 pounds, and answers to John Christiansen. John has brown hair and blue eyes. Cris , as he is sometimes called by his friends, chooses tennis and swimming as top-ranking sports. John's pet peeves are boiled ham and women over twenty-five who wear slacks. His am- bition is to become a surgeon or a concert pianist. In his few spare moments, as a mem- ber of the Attic Players, Forum, Latin Club, and vice-president of the Student Musicale, you will probably find him listening to Andre Koselanetz. NANCY VERCOE Nancy Vercoe, Student Union Recording Secretary, is a popular Sophomore. Nancy is five feet five inches tall and weighs 117 pounds. She has black hair and green-grey eyes. Nancy's hobby is sports—swimming, basketball, and field hockey. She likes to play the piano, and her favorite orchestra leader is Andre Koselanetz, Her favorite movie star is Margaret O'Brien.

By joining the Student Union, the student of Central obtains admission to most of the school games, plays, dances, assemblies, the school paper, and any other Union sponsored activity. The Student Council is the legislative body of the Student Union. A member is elected to the student council from each home room. Every other Wednesday these representa- tives meet to discuss the various phrases of the activities at Central. The Student Coun- cil was active this year in promoting War Bond Sales, noon hour activities, special assemblies and many well-attended dances and parties. These activities are organized through certain committees set up under the council, each headed by a chairman. These chairmen are lack Cojeen, Financial; Nick Assimos, Bond and Stamp; Paul Za- valla, Activities; lack Hallitt, Social; Frank Sim, Welfare; Bill Erb, Recreational Com- mittees. After stiff campaigning. Doc Hodgins was elected Student Union President. John Christiansen was elected Vice-President; Sally Ruska, Recording Secretary, and Pat O'Keefe, Corresponding Secretary. Nancy Vercoe was later elected to the office of Recording Secretary, when Sally moved out of the state. Central, as in many other fields, has led in the development of the Student Union. The fine record which Central has always maintained is a tribute to the effectiveness of the Student Union. Jack Cojeen, Mr. Vercoe, and Nick Assimos gaze with pride at Central's Minute Man flag. 57 1945 Prospectus ★ 7 4 z tkeAe UanoAed dead. . . John Allen Herman W.

Yuille Stanley Zaneske BILL MATHESON The boy with brown curly hair, brown eyes, five feet, six inches of height, is the sophomore president. Bill Matheson. He is an outdoor sportsman, especially enjoying swimming, golf, and tennis. Bill always seems to be happy, perhaps because he collects cartoons. Steak with French fries topped off with Rum and Coca-Cola by Xavier Cugat makes Bill seem even happier. Although his favorite color is red, this doesn't seem quite right since fire tending is a pet peeve. CHARLENE DICKINSON Charlene Dickinson, a very charming sophomore secretary, is five feet seven inches tall. Very bright blue eyes are topped by red curly tresses. She enjoys playing ping pong and badminton, while swimming is her favorite sport for outdoors. She also likes Glen Miller's orchestra playing any song. To train for nursing is the ambition in Charlene's life. She is an active member of the Grease Paint Club and participates in many sports. One of the liveliest girls in Central is Margaret Dowd, who is better known as Maggie . Making a new friend every day is Margaret's hobby and ambition combined. Another ambition is to become an English teacher. It seems only natural for her to like Kelly green since Maggie is Irish. The sophomore vice-president enjoys swimming and tennis and most of all eating, especially lemon pie. She really doesn't like people who complain about nothing. This slim bomb- shell is 5 feet 10 inches tall with light brown hair and brown eyes. MARGARET DOWD Joanne Richey, the Sophomore treasurer, is a very lively and popular girl here at Central. The Press Club and Arrow Head are some of Joanne's outside activities, while tennis, golf and bowling occupy other spare hours. Some day she hopes to be a teacher and write novels. Joanne's future Alma Mater is Ypsilanti. Thick steaks make her blue eyes gleam, and to match her blue eyes she has soft brown hair.

Sophomore Class The Class of '47, otherwise known as Sophomores, always seem to filter in and take its place in Central's activities each semester. They enter wide-eyed and inno- cent, seemingly confused by the bustling life of Central; but as the year continues they become more accustomed to the ways and traditions of the school and begin to fit into the routine and daily life. The able leaders of this class are Bill Matheson, President; Margaret Dowd, Vice- President; Charlene Dickinson, Secretary; and Joanne Richey, Treasurer. These officers preside over the legislative body of the class, the Sophomore Board of Directors. One student is elected to the Board from each Sophomore homeroom. Some of the activi- ties carried out was a Sophomore Party in the fall, and a St. Patrick's Day Party to stimulate the sale of War Bonds and Stamps. The change from a Junior High school to Senior High is sometimes difficult for students, but Central's Sophomores seem to have quickly adjusted themselves to this new life. The large number of Sophomores whose names appeared on the Honor Roll, and those who have already distinguished themselves in other activities show this fact. Although the Sophomores are sometimes referred to jokingly and perhaps their name 61 is often slighted. Central still recognizes the fact that they are the students who will help carry on the tradition and name of Central for the coming years. Every sophomore quickly becomes familiar with Central's fine library. 1945 Prospectus PAM STEFFLER Our Junior president this year is small, trim, attractive Pam Steffler. She stands five feet three inches and has brown hair and brown eyes. Together by Kay Kyser is high on her list of favorite songs while Mrs. Brown rates tops as a favorite teacher. Pam's hobby at the present is writing to a certain fellow in the Navy and knitting mittens, socks, and sweaters. Powder blue is her fav- orite color and she really looks nice in it. Next to writing to that fellow, she enjoys eating chicken and mashed potatoes—a nice combination. This fine little president is also a member of the Student Council and presi- dent of the Belle Masque. DOROTHY WILSON Dorothy Wilson, our Junior secretary, is very well known. She stands five feet seven and one-half inches, topped with light brown hair in a feather cut style. She has blue eyes. Dot , as she is called by many of her friends, is active in the sports field at school. She participates in basketball, baseball, field hockey, volleyball, bowling and is a Junior Life Saver. She likes Till Then by the Ink Spots and fried oysters. Dorothy's favorite color is blue and her favorite teacher is Miss Pinel. This charming secretary is also a member of the F Club and G.A.A. Dot's pet peeve is people who are continually bragging. BETH LEACH Beth Leach, this year's charming treasurer, is five feet four inches tall with light brown hair and brown eyes. She likes the famous and not - much - heard oldie, Deep Purple . Johnny Mercer rates high as a favorite singer. Beth likes knitting as a hobby which is a very good one at that. Blue seems to be a favorite color while chicken salad is her favorite food. Along the line of pet peeves , she dislikes people who think they're good . Her favor- ite teacher is Miss Pinel. Beth belongs to the Latin Club and the newly - formed Com- manderins. SUE PARKER Sue Parker, the Junior vice-president this year, stands five feet four inches with light brown hair and blue eyes. Making Believe by Johnny Mercer is her favorite song. Sue is one of our faithful football fans and is out there rooting at every game. She picks, as her favorite teacher, Miss Pinel. Blue seems to rate highest on her color list. When she is not industriously studying Spanish, you are apt to find her eating a heaping dish of chocolate ice cream. People who quit some- thing they've previously started is classed as her pet peeve. Besides being an active mem- ber of the Junior class, she belongs to Belle Masque and the Latin Club. 1945 Prospectus 62 JUNIOR BOARD OF DIRECTORS—Front Row: Joyce Harding, Nettie Fletcher, Louina Spencer, Betty Routhier, Marjane Bedtelyon, Joyce Titus.

Junior Class The Class of 46 , Central's Juniors, is a class that seems to have an extra amount of energy and ability. They are strong sup- porters of every school activity, whether it be in the dramatic, sports, journalistic, social, or scholastic line. In every phase of Central's program, there can be found these enthusi- astic Juniors. The politically minded members of the class waged extensive campaigns for the offices available to Juniors. The honor of Presidency went to Pam Steffler. In the office of Vice-President is Sue Parker. The Secre- tary is Dorothy Wilson and Beth Leach is the Treasurer. The Junior Board of Directors works with the class officers in discussing and planning for class activities. The most outstanding of these is the annual Junior play. The produc- tion this year was Junior Miss, an inter- esting and appropriate comedy. The Junior year is a year in which many students take up new and interesting sub- jects. The mysteries of solid geometry, algebra, and shorthand are revealed. With accompanying smells, chemistry is studied, and the knowledge of a foreign and native language increases in the student. Also, as a Junior, the student becomes deeply inter- ested in some extra-curricular activity, and plans for his Senior year take shape. To most Juniors, even after they have moved on to Senior, and then post gradua- tion life, the memory of a pleasant and worth-while Junior year will linger. In the Chemistry Laboratory, the Juniors carry out many interesting experiments 63 1945 Prospectus Mary Lavely, vice-president of the Senior class, has a fascinating personality that makes her one of Central's most popular girls. Mary was chosen to represent Central for the Good Citizen contest, sponsored by Daughters of American Revolution. Mary is a member of the F Club, Thalians, and Shutterbugs. Besides these activities, she enjoys all type of sports, some of the favorite being skiing, swimming, and horse - back riding. Mary is five feet, six inches tall, having long light brown hair and blue-green eyes. When someone is seen studying Physics or munching on some fried chicken, or maybe looking over his collection of guns, it would be a good guess to say he was lack Hallitt, our Senior president. Jack has participated in both football and track here at Central, also belongs to the Varsity Club and Attic Players. This all-American boy is five feet eleven and one-half inches tall, claiming a crop of reddish-brown hair and smiling hazel eyes. He enjoys both popular and classical music, one of his favorites being Concerto in B Flat Minor . This cute little Senior treasurer is Joyce Carr. She doesn't have a nickname, which may be due to her not liking disagreeable nicknames. Joyce hasn't thought much about a profession, but she is going to college at Michigan State. Knitting is her hobby, and she usually does it during her spare time. Her gleaming blue eyes are topped by wavy brown hair. Joyce has been her class treas- urer for three years and during those three years she has won three letters for her sports activities. One personality at Central whom everyone should know is Lillian Gill, our senior secre- tary. She participates in many activities— some of them being Arrow Head, Prospectus, 4-H, and Belle Masque. Besides designing clothes and sewing Lil delights in swim- ming, skating, tennis, and just plain walking. To establish an orphans' home in France is one of Lil's greatest ambitions. She dis- likes people who don't keep promises. In the musical line Lillian delights in hearing Piano Concerto in B Flat Minor . Every bit of her five feet four inches is likable and her friendly blue eyes win her many friends. LILLIAN GILL 1945 Prospectus 64 Commencement and other graduation activities will climax the three years that the Seniors have spent at Central Senior Class The Class of 1945 completed their final year of high school during a time of chaotic world conditions. The steadily increasing number of Senior boys leaving for the armed Service, the War Bond Sales and the constant saving of materials all were reminders of this fact. Because of these conditions, then, it will be a more serious and thoughtful group of Seniors receiving their diplomas this year. lack Hallitt was elected President of the Senior Class. Other officers are Mary Lavely, Vice-President; Lillian Gill, Secre- tary; and Joyce Carr, Treasurer. These officers work with the Board of Directors in planning the Senior Activities. The Senior Dinner-Dance, Commencement, and Bacca- laureate, important events in the Senior year, are planned by this group. Miss Pinel is the Class advisor. The student's last year at high school is usually a very active and complete one. By this time he is an established member of some organization and is interested in all school activities. His course of study is advanced and has prepared him for some specific work. Through his studies and participation in activities, a student that graduates from Central is well prepared to enter any mode of life after graduation, whether it be employment, higher schooling, or the armed service.

May, 1945—a full school year—and the nation looks back over months of success and disappointment, happiness and sorrow; looks back, remem- bers, and laughs—and weeps. A year of laughter and tears: The strains of Mairzy Doates whistled by a boy delivering the message The War Depart- ment regrets to inform you—boys playing football, and re-reading Greetings from the President—girls swooning over a crooner, and anxiously waiting for the mailman. A year of progress: the crossing of the Rhine, the deadly drive through Germany to Berlin; the recapture of the Philippines and those little islands, for MacArthur kept his promise, We will return . A year of getting mad upon reading about death house, mass cremations, star- vation, and other horrible atrocities; and a year of liberation as tired members of the Death March wearily returned to half- forgotten homes. A year of grim resolution: Dumbarton Oaks, the Big Three ; and unconditional surrender became the battle cry—for peace. A year of heartbreak. Five words I have a terrific headache , and a bewildered nation loses its beloved skipper. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and turns hopeful eyes toward a new figure—and the future. Doc Hodgins and Cohleen Jensen, two outstanding Seniors, walk for one of the last times through Central's campus A year of achievement: an Allied Peace conference, representative of a war-torn world, plans for the global peace of tomor- row. The gratifying announcement of Vic- tory in Europe , a victory celebrated not by wild cheering, but by sincere prayer reaching out in thought towards the Pacific battle- ground, where endless struggle, shrouded by Death, continues. September, 1944,—May, 1945—a school year to remember; but the class of '45 doesn't have time to remember, for, like the class of '17, these Seniors have a war to fight, a peace to win. Then, and only then, can they look back, for, until complete victory has been won, the class of '45 will march onward and look ALWAYS FORWARD . 87 1945 Prospectus AutacyiapUi The Flint Weekly Review
