third and fourth year classes in all<br />

an increase in the number of classes<br />
is the need for a larger teaching<br />

Council Votes<br />
To Continue AFS<br />
<strong>The</strong> American Field Service program<br />
instituted this year will be<br />
continued next year, according to a<br />
proposal by the Student Council<br />
<strong>The</strong> Council, in its October 20 meeting,<br />
went on record as favoring the<br />
continuation of this project.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main function of the A.F.S.,<br />
as it is called, is to supervise the<br />
exchange of American and Foreign<br />
students. Under this program a<br />
foreign student has the opportunity<br />
to study in an American High<br />
School for one whole year while<br />
United States teenagers can take<br />
part in the eight-week summer exchange<br />
program.<br />
This year, Flory Mendez from<br />
Costa Rica is an active member of<br />
Central's senior class. <strong>The</strong> office has<br />
already asked for students interested<br />
in applying for the summer program.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cost, of sending this person<br />
over is not definite but is likely<br />
to be in the vicinity of $500.<br />
Although nothing else was decided,<br />
the Council will probably set<br />
up a committee to study moneymaking<br />
projects and make other<br />
necessary arrangements.<br />
I Pity the Poor Band<br />
Farmers like rain. Umbrella<br />
manufacturers like rain. Ducks like<br />
rain. But band directors don't like<br />
rain.<br />
Ask Mr. Fandich, our band director.<br />
He has only cruel words to say<br />
about the heavy moisture which fell<br />
during several of the recent football<br />
weekends.<br />
Many times this fall rain has<br />
caused band programs to be canceled<br />
after hard work had already<br />
gone into the preparing. Or in some<br />
cases the ground has been too wet<br />
for an ambitious band presentation.<br />
Two major shows have been called<br />
off because of rain.<br />
One had a Romeo-Juliet theme<br />
and the other was to have been a<br />
circus with the combined juniorsenior<br />
high school band. <strong>The</strong> junior<br />
high was planning to display its<br />
new hats at this outing, but now it<br />
will have to wait until Memorial<br />
Day. Thus, it is not surprising that<br />
Mr. Fandrich is considering a nightmare<br />
for his next band program<br />
which would feature the band on<br />
the field spelling out MUD and<br />
playing 30 choruses of "It Ain't<br />
Gonna Rain No Mo'."<br />

School Closes For<br />
Teachers' Convo<br />
School will be closed tomorrow<br />
and Friday while Central teachers<br />
attend the Annual W.E.A. Convention<br />
in Milwaukee.<br />
Wisconsin Educators Association<br />
officers and sectional chairmen have<br />
planned a variety of programs to fit<br />
the tastes and interests of the 18,000<br />
teachers who will assemble in Milwaukee<br />
during the weekend to exchange<br />
news and views.<br />
Three general sessions and the<br />
Thursday evening program provide<br />
the opportunity for all to gather in<br />
the same assembly hall. Over 60<br />
sectional programs will furnish informational,<br />
practical, and inspirational<br />
sessions to suit most teachers<br />
of the state.<br />
<strong>The</strong> introductory remarks of<br />
President Hoyt will be followed by<br />
Gov. Gaylord Nelson and Superintendent<br />
of Milwaukee, Harold Vincent.<br />
Dads' Night<br />
<strong>The</strong> annual Central Dads' Night<br />
was a feature of the Central-Horlick<br />
game Saturday night. <strong>The</strong> program,<br />
sponsored by the All-Central Conmittee<br />
and aimed at extending hospitallty<br />
to the fathers of the players,<br />
had the dads sitting on the bench<br />
on the field and wearing their sons'<br />
numbers, Refreshments were served<br />
to the dads at half-time.<br />
'Yankee' Play Modernized<br />
For Central Production<br />
"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," which will be presented<br />
<strong>November</strong> 13 at 7:00 p.m. in the Central auditorium, has been<br />
modernized slighty for this performance. Minor changes in some of<br />
the play's lines bring in references to the jet age: sputniks, beatniks,<br />
etc. Mrs. Barter and Mr. Schurnan<br />
did the revising.<br />
News BrieFs<br />
Recently at a meeting of the<br />
sophomore, junior, and senior class<br />
officers, plans were made for preliminary<br />
meetings of the classes at<br />
which they will appoint their committees.<br />
John Worded won first place in<br />
the Advanced Spanish Pronunciation<br />
and Reading Contest Oct. 24<br />
at the Wisconsin Union, Entries<br />
were from Southwestern Wisconsin,<br />
Central's seniors spent the entire<br />
day last Thursday taking the A.C.T.<br />
tests, an experimental testing which<br />
later will be used to determine<br />
those qualified for college. Central<br />
was chosen as one of the "guinea<br />
pig" schools across the nation (and<br />
the only one in <strong>Madison</strong>) to participate<br />
in the experiment. <strong>The</strong> tests<br />
were free, were given in the auditorium<br />
and Scanlan Hall, and lasted<br />
six hours, with a break for lunch.<br />
Another test will be given later in<br />
<strong>November</strong> for those interested in<br />
taking it and will cost about $3.<br />
In the last meeting of the cheerleaders,<br />
officers were elected as follows:<br />
President. Judy London, Vice<br />
President Susan Haven. and Secretary<br />
Marilyn Mitchell. <strong>The</strong> cheerleaders,<br />
under the directions of Mrs.<br />
Walker, have been working on new<br />
cheers and are seeking a way to<br />
raise money for new uniforms.<br />
<strong>The</strong> total AAA sales have reached<br />
667. <strong>The</strong> breakdown is 414 for Senior<br />
High and 243 for Junior High plus<br />
another 10 that have been purchased<br />
in the last few days.<br />
<strong>The</strong> annual PTA Go-to-School<br />
Night attracted a large crowd of<br />
parents who had a chance to follow<br />
a shortened version of their children's<br />
schedules and to meet the<br />
teachers.<br />
East High is to be given credit<br />
for having good judgment. Central's<br />
Dick Milward was the king of<br />
"Touchdown Twirl" Homecoming<br />
Dance. East's Faye Long was queen.<br />
She chose the king, of course.<br />

We Need P.T.A.<br />
We students of Central High School are very fortunate to have an<br />
excellent PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) in our school. Our faculty<br />
and parents care enough about our education to run an efficient, beneficial<br />
organization. <strong>The</strong> PTA has done a number of things for Central over the<br />
years. <strong>The</strong>re are some things which the PTA does every year as a matter<br />
of course. Among these is the giving of $200 scholarships to worthy<br />
members of the graduating class. <strong>The</strong> Athletic banquet is an annual<br />
feature of the PTA. However, aside from these regular services, the PTA<br />
is always willing to help finance badly needed equipment for the school.<br />
Two years ago the PTA raised money to buy a new microphone for the<br />
auditorium. Recently, when the cheerleaders found they needed new<br />
uniforms, they were advised to seek the aid of PTA. For these reasons<br />
we should express our gratitude to the PTA for the things they provide<br />
for Lets support our PTA We need the PTA.<br />
Don't Park In the Middle<br />
Do you feel the pressure of the crowded halls? With an enormous<br />
increase in the student body at Central our halls seem to be getting<br />
smaller and smaller. <strong>The</strong> traffic progresses very slowly and it is getting<br />
harder to get to classes on time, because of the conjestion in the halls.<br />
A little common courtesy on behalf of the entire student body would<br />
probably do very much to speed the traffic in the halls. People who<br />
park themselves in the center of the hal create a block and only add to<br />
the general confusion. This is, however, only one of the many factors<br />
which contribute to crowded congested halls. So don't block the roadway,<br />
and give the other guy a chance, too.<br />
Question of the Day<br />
by Dan Dryden and Cynthia Nelson<br />
What is your opinion of a combined<br />
junior-senior prom?<br />
Judy Schultz. H.R. 323-I think<br />
there should be two separate proms.<br />
It is the seniors' last year and they<br />
want to remember it. <strong>The</strong> juniors<br />
shouldn't feel left out because some<br />
of the seniors ask juniors to go because<br />
they will also be going next<br />
year. <strong>The</strong>re is always a big turnout<br />
at both the junior and senior<br />
Proms. As far as I know a majority<br />
of the seniors want separate<br />
proms.<br />
Kathy Grapsas. H.R. 417-I don't<br />
think the junior and senior proms<br />
should be combined. <strong>The</strong> seniors<br />
want to have something of their<br />
own to remember. <strong>The</strong> senior<br />
proms. as far as I know, have always<br />
been successful. I see no reason<br />
why the two Proms should be<br />
combined.<br />
Pat Donner. H.R. 425 - I am<br />
against it because the dance would<br />
be too crowded. Also if I was a<br />
senior I'd feel that we should be<br />
able to have our own prom. It<br />
would mean a lot to me if there<br />
were just seniors there. Prom is<br />
their last dance together. I look<br />
forward to going to the junior prom<br />
and the Seniors look forward to<br />
going to the senior prom. Let's<br />
keep them separate.<br />
Bonnie Estervig. H.R. 323 - <strong>The</strong><br />
objection to two proms a year is<br />
that there isn't enough attendance<br />
at them. However, I feel that the<br />
general spirit of the school has<br />
greatly increased. I am sure that if<br />
we are allowed two proms this year,<br />
they will be well attended.<br />
Mary Jo Williama. H.R. 321-<strong>The</strong><br />
seniors are looking forward to<br />
planning their own prom just as<br />
the juniors are looking forward to<br />
their own. This prom will be the<br />
seniors' last big event of the year,<br />
and they would very much like it<br />
separate. I suggest a vote be taken<br />
on the participation for each prom.<br />
Larry Maxson, H.R. 325 - As a<br />
sophomore it makes no difference<br />
but if I were a senior I would not<br />
like it at all. For the Seniors this<br />
is the last dance of their high school<br />
career, and I think they are entitled<br />
to have this on their own.<br />
Nancy Oldenberg, H.R. 406 - Although<br />
I am not a junior or senior<br />
I know that if I were I would not<br />
think this idea of combined juniorsenior<br />
prom a very fair proposition.<br />
<strong>The</strong> seniors look forward to<br />
the prom all through high school<br />
and so do the juniors. I am thoroughly<br />
against this idea.<br />
Chuck Kneebone. H.R. 317 - I<br />
would rather have them separate,<br />
but if it is absolutely necessary to<br />
combine them, I wouldn't care too<br />
much. <strong>The</strong>n there are the seniors<br />
who wouldn"t exactly love this<br />
idea. <strong>The</strong>y look forward to their<br />
prom very much. It's their last big<br />
dance of the year and they naturally<br />
wouldn't want the juniors to<br />
butt in. I wouldn't want juniors at<br />
my last dance at Central.<br />
Nikki Littel H.R. 321 - I don't<br />
think the junior and senior proms<br />
should be combined. <strong>The</strong> seniors<br />
look forward to the senior prom<br />
as being their last dance with the<br />
class. Junior prom is the only activity<br />
the junors have in their<br />
junior year. So I think it should<br />
be left the way it is.<br />
Scene Around Central<br />
One of our photographers rushed up to room 405-406 last week to<br />
take a picture of the new chemistry lab so our readers could see what<br />
this newest room at Central looks like. He checked the lighting, made<br />
the necessary adjustments on his camera, and snapped! You see the<br />
result above. Now, however, we must admit that 405-406 doesn't look<br />
exactly like this. <strong>The</strong> day after the photo was taken, several truckloads<br />
of equipment. including experiment tables and desks, were<br />
delivered and have since been installed.<br />

by Peter Patau<br />
October 23 and 24 Nancy Narun,<br />
Bob Hann, Anita Pierick, and I<br />
went to the State Student Council<br />
convention held at Ripen High<br />
School and the American Baptist<br />
Assembly at Green Lake. Besides<br />
the opening night, we spent all<br />
our time at the Baptist Assembly.<br />
This was a beautiful place. It was<br />
too bad that it rained and snowed<br />
all the time for we would have<br />
enjoyed some sightseeing. Even in<br />
this weather, however, we greatly<br />
enjoyed it.<br />
Mr. Wendt has been a member of<br />
the state executive board for the<br />
last three years; Friday he said he<br />
would resign. No sooner had he<br />
done this than it was announced<br />
Saturday morning<br />
that he<br />
would be the<br />
state executive<br />
secretary, which<br />
is the most important<br />
and the<br />
toughest job in<br />
the state association.<br />
We found out<br />
that our football<br />
team had sabo-<br />
Peter<br />
taged the whole conference; Arnie<br />
Guernas, national S C President<br />
from Janesville, was injured playing<br />
against us. He had intended to<br />
speak at the convention, but he was<br />
no longer able to.<br />
We got more out of this convention<br />
than fun and good scenery at<br />
Green Lake. To those who say we<br />
waste too much money on conventions,<br />
I say look at this convention.<br />
Anita led a discussion on Unsociable<br />
Students. I attended one on the<br />
AFS program and one on student<br />
council faculty-student relations.<br />
But Bob and Nancy went to the<br />
two best, as far as what we got<br />
out of them. Bob went to one on<br />
finance where he got good ideas<br />
he'll take to the finance committee.<br />
Nancy got some very good<br />
ideas on spirit from her Conference.<br />
Although our spirit is quite good<br />
right now, we can always improve.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact is, that if only one of Bob's<br />
many financial ideas works out, it<br />
will more than pay for the cost of<br />
the convention. <strong>The</strong> convention has<br />
been a very worthwhile experience<br />
for all of us, and I am sure the<br />
school will benefit from it.<br />

Anita Pierick, homeroom 303, and<br />
Gary Seymour, home room 323.<br />
by Jennie Blodau<br />
Anita is just about the busiest<br />
person I know. It seems as though<br />
she is on almost every membership<br />
list. <strong>The</strong>se are some of the organizations<br />
she's in and the jobs she does:<br />
President of District County Junior<br />
Red Cross, Vice-Chairman of District<br />
11 on Children and Youth,<br />
Chairman of Candy Counter, Youth<br />
Council, Student Council, Choir, a<br />
member of Steering Committee<br />
which is studying juvenile delinquency,<br />
a member of the <strong>Mirror</strong><br />
advertising staff, and make-up committee<br />
for the school play, "A Connecticut<br />
Yankee in King Arthur's<br />
Court." See what I mean about being<br />
busy?<br />
Anita still has time to say that<br />
her favorite food is chili and her<br />
favorite song is<br />
"<strong>The</strong> Bells of St.<br />
Mary."<br />
Anything that<br />
is blue is bound<br />

As you probably<br />
recall, Anita<br />
went to the International<br />
Junior<br />
Red Cross<br />
meeting in To- Anita<br />
ronto, Canada. She said the meeting<br />
had three main parts to it. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
were the home hospitality program,<br />
the study center itself, and the visits<br />
to New York City and Washington,<br />

Out of the Past<br />
by Dan Dryden<br />
Central's history goes back to pre-<br />
Civil War days, when ladies wore<br />
hoop skirts, and Northern gentlemen<br />
were called 'yankees.'<br />
March 15, 1940<br />
A dinner-dance for the alumni of<br />
Central High School, of the last<br />
nine years, was planned by various<br />
members of the faculty and alumni.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tentative schedule for the dance<br />
was May 1 at the Loraine Hotel.<br />
April 13, 1951<br />
Central seniors won the spring<br />
scrap drive by collecting 23,185<br />
pounds of scrap paper and metal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> drive took place during the<br />
week of April 2-6.<br />
<strong>The</strong> juniors collected 8,500 pounds<br />
of scrap, and sophomores 16.400<br />
pounds, making a complete total of<br />
48,135 pounds.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sophomores went out on a<br />
Monday night, juniors on Tuesday,<br />
and seniors on Wednesday. A dance<br />
was held following the drive.<br />
Profits went to the Student Council,<br />
with the winning class, the seniors,<br />
receiving 20 percent of the profits.<br />
cial studies for librarians.<br />
Miss Bowden obtained her degrees<br />
at the University of Northern<br />
Illinois (a Bachelor in Education)<br />
and the University of Wisconsin (a<br />
master of science in library<br />
Science), respectively.<br />
Although a lot of her spare time<br />
is taken up by reading, as you may<br />
have expected, she also greatly enjoys<br />
swimming and bowling.<br />

Gary<br />
As for food, he treasures fried<br />
chicken and pumpkin pie (but only<br />
the kind his mother makes!).<br />
When asked what he felt about<br />
Central, he said, "You'd have to go<br />
along way to find a faculty with<br />
finer training and better teaching<br />
ability." He also said that Central<br />
is large enough to teach you something,<br />
yet small enough to know<br />
you. His one thought to others is<br />
"never go backwards-always progress."<br />

Central Swamps Horlick 32-7; Faces Kenosha<br />
Smashing Win Over Racine<br />
Primes O&B For Red Devils<br />
Central took over third place in the Big Eight when it upset Racine<br />
Horlick last Saturday night at Breese Stevens Field, 32-7, one of the<br />
sweetest Orange and Black victories in years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Downtowners face powerhouse Kenosha tomorrow night at Breese<br />
Stevens. Central is the only obstacle in the Red Devils' march to an<br />
undefeated season and the outright<br />
Big Eight title. Kenosha buried Beloit<br />
last Friday, 53-0.<br />
In shellacking Horlick, the Orange<br />
and Black played like Tigers. It<br />
was not until the dying moments<br />
of the game that Racine was able<br />
to score and then only after Coach<br />
Pollock had used his subs for a<br />
good part of the fourth quarter.<br />
Thirty-eight Central players saw<br />
action, many of them showing promise<br />
in their first big chance.<br />
Dick Berens, back at full strength<br />
after an illness that had him in<br />
the hospital and out of two games,<br />
and Don Harris led the Downtowners'<br />
ground attack with superlative<br />
running. Berens gained 127 yards;<br />
Harris, 162. But it had to be a team<br />
effort and it must have been the<br />
best-played game of the year for<br />
practically everyone on the Central<br />
team, because this was no pushover<br />
opponent. Horlick went into<br />
the game in third place in the Big<br />
Eight with a 3-2 record, the same<br />
team that had knocked off West,<br />
19-0. One of the <strong>Madison</strong> newspapers<br />
called this Central victory<br />
"the upset of the year in the Big<br />
Eight."<br />
It was not just the win, but the<br />
convincing way the game was won.<br />
Central had it wrapped up by the<br />
end of the third period with a 25-0<br />
lead. <strong>The</strong> Orange and Black led at<br />
the half 12-0, Ed Corcoran having<br />
scored the second touchdown on a<br />
quarterback sneak just seconds before<br />
the half ended. It had been 6-0<br />
at the end of the first period.<br />
But there was no Central letdown<br />
after the intermission. <strong>The</strong> Orange<br />
and Black demons turned the game<br />
into a Halloween nightmare for<br />
the Racine club by giving 100 per<br />
cent all the way. A terrific win and<br />
the small Central crowd enjoyed<br />
every minute of it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>1959</strong> Downtowners have already<br />
had a great season no matter<br />
whether they win, lose, or tie with<br />
Kenosha. And Coach Pollock is an<br />
odds-on favorite for Big Eight<br />
"Coach of the Year" honors. <strong>The</strong><br />
team has lost just two games, both<br />
close: one, a frustrating defeat to<br />
West by one point bruoght on by<br />
fourth-period mistakes; the other, a<br />
loss to second-place Park and it was<br />
only quick scores in the fourth<br />
period that pulled out the win for<br />
Racine. Same thing in the tie with<br />
East. <strong>The</strong> Eastaiders scrambled for<br />
a TD late in the game to salvage<br />
the tie.<br />
Now, if Central should pull off<br />
a miracle and upset Kenosha, this<br />
team would have to go into the<br />
record books as one of the real<br />
"wonder" teams in Orange and<br />
Black history because, after all,<br />
these boys were picked to finish<br />
last in the Big Eight by both <strong>Madison</strong><br />
newspapers.<br />
West<br />
<strong>The</strong> Central Tigers lost a heartbreaker<br />
to their cross-town rival,<br />
West, October 24, by a score of 13-<br />
12. It was a hard-fought contest,<br />
with both sides battling to the limit.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first half was dominated by<br />
West. scoring both of its touchdowns<br />
and the all-important extra point.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second half was just the reverse,<br />
Central scoring twice and<br />
dominating the play.<br />
Ken Grauvogl scored our first<br />
touchdown, smashing over from the<br />
one-yard line in the third period.<br />
He had just made a great catch of<br />
Ed Corcoran's pass to put the ball<br />
inside West's five-yard line. Junior<br />
Harris scored the other touchdown<br />
from the two-yard line, after setting<br />
up the score with a brilliant<br />
16-yard run. He again played a good<br />
game, despite West's stacked defense<br />
against him. Later in the<br />
fourth period, Central lost a big<br />
opportunity when Harris fumbled<br />
a West punt, trying to avoid it. Central<br />
had one last chance when Bill<br />
Olson knocked the ball out of the<br />
Introducing ..<br />
Bill Olson, the right guard for<br />
Central's <strong>1959</strong> gridders, is a twoyear<br />
man and is showing Central<br />
fans fine tackling from his defensive<br />
line-backing position. "Ole," as<br />
he is better known, has captained<br />
Central in many games this year<br />
and has called defensive signals for<br />
the Downtowners in all their<br />
games. Offensively Bill has blocked<br />
well all year long, opening some<br />
fine holes for Central's backfield.<br />
Bill weighs 165 lbs. and stands 5<br />
ft. 10 in.<br />
Olson<br />
Tonkins<br />
Left tackle Bill Tomkins somewhat<br />
symbolizes the success of the<br />
<strong>1959</strong> Downtowners. Relatively inexperienced<br />
(he had played very<br />
little before this year), Bill has<br />
worked hard and gives 100 per cent<br />
all the way. He weighs 170 pounds<br />
and stands 5 feet 11 inches. Middle<br />
guard on defense, he wears No.<br />
65. He, like Olson, is a senior.<br />
hands of a West back, giving Central<br />
the ball. Ed Corcoran hit Dick<br />
Putnam with a 30-yard pass, but<br />
a last ditch pass attempt was<br />
blocked.<br />
Defensive standouts for Central<br />
were Keith and Ken Grauvogl, Bill<br />
Olson, Ed Allen, and Nick Fiore.<br />
Harris, GrauvogL and Berens all<br />
ran well for the Downtowners.<br />
Janesville<br />
Central staged a fourth quarter<br />
rally which brought two touchdowns<br />
and a 12-6 Homecoming<br />
victory against Janesville on Oct.<br />
16. Central left the field at half-time<br />
trailing, 6-0. <strong>The</strong> game, similar to<br />
the Central-Park game of a week<br />
earlier, was very disheartening for<br />
the Janesville players and fans.<br />
After playing excellent ball for<br />
three quarters, Janesville faltered<br />
in the fourth quarter as Central had<br />
done against Racine. A fumbled<br />
punt proved fatal to Janesville, and<br />
when Jon Novick fell on it, only<br />
three minutes remained in the<br />
game. This was the spark Central<br />
needed and they scored the winning<br />
touchdown with fifty seconds<br />
left in the game.<br />
Junior Harris, Central's speedy<br />
scatback, scored both touchdowns.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first one came on his five-yard<br />
scamper around left end, and it had<br />
him crossing the goal line without<br />
being touched. <strong>The</strong> second came on<br />
a screen pass from Eddie Corcoran<br />
with less than a minute on the<br />
clock. Don grabbed Corcoran's pass,<br />
followed his blocking evaded<br />
would-be tacklers and skirted twenty-five<br />
yards for the score. Junior<br />
averaged 7.2 yards per carry in 18<br />
tries not counting the pass play.<br />
Janesville suffered a great setback<br />
which will put them in bad<br />
shape for the remainder of the season.<br />
Arnie Querna, their fine quarterback,<br />
is lost for the season after<br />
suffering two broken fingers in the<br />
Central game.<br />

Our defense has been instrumental<br />
in our 4-2-1 season record. It<br />
has never given up more than two<br />
touchdowns in one game. Making<br />
up our defensive forward wall are<br />
Nick Fiore, Arnie Jensen, Bill Tomkins,<br />
Willie Thomas, Ed Allen and<br />
Dick Putnam.<br />
Bad punt coverage in the first<br />
half of the West game on our part<br />
gave the opponent a big advantage.<br />
Twice the Regents pulled in punts<br />
and returned them for about 40<br />
yards each. This gave West good<br />
position on the field and led to both<br />
of their scores.<br />
Our Homecoming game was really<br />
a thriller. Junior Harris' eyeopening<br />
touchdown jaunt climaxed<br />
a wonderful, exciting event.<br />
Central's football games are played<br />
under conditions similar to the<br />
University of Wisconsin. It seems<br />
like every game night is cold and<br />
rainy, with the field muddy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Downtowners have their<br />
work cut out for them tonight and<br />
how. <strong>The</strong> Red Devils from Kenosha<br />
are the number one ranking team<br />
in the state of Wisconsin.<br />
Aldrich Shines<br />
For Harriers<br />
Coach Herried's cross country<br />
team ended its season last Saturday<br />
at the state meet in Hartford.<br />
Although the harriers failed to<br />
grab off a meet win this year,<br />
things could look darker. Bill Aldrich,<br />
an outstanding sophomore<br />
prospect, has shown signs of eventually<br />
being the best in the Big<br />
Eight. With two seasons left, Bill<br />
could really shine if he works hard.<br />
He finished in front or near the<br />
front in most of the little meets<br />
Central ran at the beginning of the<br />
year. In the Big Eight meet he<br />
finished eighth, eleventh in the city<br />
meet, and second in the city sophomore<br />
run. In that sophomore meet<br />
Bill was only a fraction of an inch<br />
behind the winner from West. He<br />
has the best time on the Central<br />
squad for the 2.2-mile course: 11:24.<br />
Other members of the squad this<br />
year were John Worden, Jim Opelt,<br />
Don Dinteman, Bob Rasmussen, Jim<br />
Medowcroft, Jim West, Dick Crabtree,<br />
and Rex Bross.<br />

First, the combination Juniort1<br />
Senior Prom came in for consideration<br />
when Mr. Marsh stated that<br />
the new plan was that the juniors<br />
sponsor a farewell dance for the<br />
seniors in the spring, which would<br />
serve as the main prom of the year.<br />
He also said that the reason why<br />
there was not a large turnout for<br />
either of the proms was that some<br />
people could not afford to attend<br />
both proms. This new plan could<br />
increase the attendance, he added.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Central junior high football<br />
team battles Cherokee this afternoon<br />
in a home game.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Junior gridders last Friday<br />
lost to East 13-6. <strong>The</strong>ir season's record<br />
stands at 14<br />
Coach Olson's boys grabbed a real<br />
thriller-dller victory from West<br />
last week (Monday) for their first<br />
win of the year. <strong>The</strong> Centralites,<br />
smarting from three close loses,<br />
won the West game, 6-0, in the last<br />
4 minutes.<br />
With time running out and West<br />
in possession of the ball on Central's<br />
four-yard line, Pat MacNamee<br />
grabbed a fumble in mid-air when<br />
West's quarterback lost control of<br />
the ball. Pat then scampered 96<br />
yards for the only TD of the game.<br />
Some sensible delaying tactics on<br />
the part of Central's quarterback,<br />
Fred Loniello, helped kill off a<br />
chance for a West rally after that.<br />
Coach Olson says Glenn Hierlmeier<br />
has been playing some excellent<br />
defense for the Central team.<br />
