Super Centralites
As two of the up and coming
juniors at Central, we are currently
featuring in this column Frances
Flore and Kent Siegel.
Doing away with all rules of etiquette,
we are going to introduce
the male sex first instead of the
female. Since this
is
supposed to be
an"informal" column,
it won't mat-
-ter!
Our first 'victim'
is Kent Siegel who
hails from home
room 323 and is one
of the junior boys
who has done a
great deal around our school.
Kent has just finished serving a
term as president of Junior Red
Cross club. His activities range from
sports to dramatics. For him, football
reigns supreme, while track
runs a close second.
In the line of dramatics, you may
have seen him in the comedy play,
'Mother is a Freshman". The Hi-Y
club also claims Kent's membership.
Duties in Sea Scout Ship No. 501
take up most of his out-of-school
time, though he may be seen quite
regularly at the Loft.
Since Kent is the "out-door type",
his hobbies include outdoor cooking,
boating, and fishing. What outof-door
guy wouldn't like pancakes
and sausage for breakfast!!?
Kent's employment is limited to
the summer months when he works
up in the north woods. He plans to
return there this summer.
His future plans take in enrollment
at the University of Wisconsin,
where he plans to prepare
himself for a job in the field of geology
or conservation. He also hopes
he can play football.

Field ofAviaion Offers
Many Job Opportunities
Next we add the feminine touch to
the column by introducing another
member of the junior class-a very
active one, we might add-Frances
Fiore who hails from home room
415.
Fran's activities are numerous,
since she insists that "variety is the
spice of life".
Membership in the Student Council
and the Youth Council are some
of her activities, but wait-that's
not all! The Pep committee, which
puts on all our fine pep rallies,
claims her as one of its greatest
assets. Cheerleading, her hobby,
takes up much of her time, also.
Fran's favorite song is the popular
"Undecided". We were wondering if
this song had anything to do with her
love life. Could be!
After school sports and Dramatics
club have also claimed her membership,
and she has been appointed
co-chairman of Junior Ring committee.
The Ticket committee of the
Junior Prom also
has her name down
on the roll.
When it comes to
food, Fran isn't
very fussy, but her
parents know that
their grocery bill is
steadily increasing.
With an eye to
the future, she intends
to become a student of the
University of Wisconsin after she
graduates
Congratulations are in order to
both of these grand kids for their contributions
to life at Central.
Teachers Can Be Tops!
Teachers, teachers, all over the place! Have you ever noticed how
well our Central teachers attend our many school affairs?
At basketball games a look at the balcony will tell you that
many of the faculty are really interested. Watch their expressions
and hear their yells! They're behind the team one hundred per cent.
The Student Council-faculty tea proved a fine success with most
of Central's teachers there, talking busily with students.
So often students do a little griping about the fact that teachers
are just itching to blame them for something and to bawl them out.
They're more interested in our activities and seeing us have fun
than constantly checking for wrong doings.
If we all remain as loyal to Central as the faculty and if we represent
Central as well as they do, our school's sportmanship record
will raise even higher than it is.
Let's all be there to back up our team at the tournament! Teachers
are going, so let's be with them.
Former Teacher's Letter
Tells of Ventures Abroad
Shortly after the beginning of the
year a letter was received at Central
High from Miss Dorothy Robinson,
a former English teacher here, who
left Central to teach in a high school
at Ismir, Turkey.
In her letter she tells of her voyage
to Turkey with thirteen other
new teachers. Miss Robinson says,
"The common experiences of our
trip bind us together. I know that
we will remember the Turkish lessons
on the deck and our languid
studying, our anxiety for our mountains
of luggage which we seldom
saw, our feelings of insecurity in
Naples because we were "rich Americans"
and eyes followed our pocketbooks
and finally our arrival in
Turkey."
She writes that although most of
her pupils were Jews or Moslems,
they were very interested in our
Christmas customs and the ideas behind
them. They are eager to know
about our way of life, and "like
Americans because they always value
each individual person and judge
him on his own merits." She continues:
"I have met many Turkish adults
and have visited in many homes, but
my appreciation of their conversation
is at a minimum because I know
so little of the Turkish language. I'm
learning, but it will be some time
before I'm very confident. Now I
may say You are a very fat woman!'
or 'Why is your cat in my house?'
instead of 'How are you today?'
"Our day is centered around the
school and the students, and our
students have little time for anything
but study, since they all take
from eight to twelve subjects a year.
They are not notably different from
any girls in high schools at homethey
can be just as silly, or just as
serious. They come to learn English;
many hope to go to the university
and then enter a profession, a thing
almost impossible for a Turkish girl
twenty-five years ago. The girls are
very anxious to learn all that they
can, and some of them already realize
that getting a good education
is the best way that they can help
their country."
Are you ambitious? Do you like
real excitement? Hew about a career
as an airline hostess?
So far as education or experience
is concerned, all requirements point
toward your having a background
which enables you to get along with
people. A registered nurse certificate,
two years of college, or three years
of business experience in public contact
work will qualify you for acceptance
as a stewardess.
You must be a citizen of the United
States, single, and between five
feet-two and five feet-seven inches,
135 pounds or less according to your
height, and your eye vision has to
be 20-30 or better without glasses.
You should be at least 21, but not
yet 27.
This is a career that offers travel,
association with many people, and a
variety of work. Wages and salaries
are good, and working conditions are
excellent.
These are the requirements for an
c:irlne hostess. But there are many
more interesting and exciting jobs
in the airline system. Some of them
are pilots, mechanics, and stenographers.

Leroy Anderson and his concert
orchestra have put out some very
fine recordings from time to time.
His last test release, "Blue Jango"
will soon, we hope, be classed with
the all-time popular standards like
"Deep Purple" or "Night and Day",
songs that will always be popular.
Speaking of ever popular hits,
"Jalousie" is enjoying a comeback,
thanks to Frankie Lane. Harry James
made the tune popular back in the
war years.
Arthur Godfrey created a small
sensation with a song he recorded
on the back of "Slow Poke". The
song is "Dance Me Loose" and is
sung in a way only Godfrey can sing
it.
It's a wonder that Johnny Ray's
"Brokenhearted" has not enjoyed
more popularity than it has. It's on
the "flip" side of "Please, Mr. Sun"
and is certainly just as well recorded.

scarves around her neck so often?

It was there she caught a certain
boy's glance;
She may have come to the dance

LSSPOITLITES
by

Dick Corbett
Congratulations are in order for
Madison East and West High Schools
for tying for the championship in the
Big Eight basketball race, and to our
fine Central squad that played excellent
ball throughout the conference
season.
Chuck Brendler, East's rangy center
led the conference in scoring and
set five new records doing it, one of
them a record total of 312 points for
a conference season. The old record
of 252 was set just last year by Owen
Roberts of West.
Central opened tournament play
last night at Middleton and will play
there again tonight. It would surely
help the team a lot to have a big
crowd behind them, so we'd like to
see everybody out to the game tonight.
Since spring sports are just a few
weeks away, many of the boys are
getting ready for the track season,
which is not far off. The track season
will open for Central this year when
the thin clads compete in the West
Relays at the University Field House.

Pucksters Win Over
West; Season Ends
Central High's powerful hockey
team closed its season on March 21
by soundly walloping West's squad
13-2.
Led by Captains Marlowe Suter,
Dick Wills, and Don Wahlin, the
Downtowners shattered the Regent's
hopcs of scoring an upset by slamming
home nine goals in the second
period. The first period ended in a
1-1 deadlock.
One of the highlights of the rugged
play occurred when three Centralites
swept in on West's goalie, driving
him out of position enabling Bob
Soule to slip the puck into an open
net.
Suter led Central's scoring with
three goals, followed by Wahlin and
Baumann with two and Soule, Rasmussen,
Manion, and Mayer with one
ajiJLLo
Central cagers tangled with Middleton
last night in the first game
of regional tournament play in the
Middleton gym. West met the Mt.
Horeb quintet in the second game.
Mr. Alwin, when asked last week
for comment on the coming tournament
said, "I'd just like to have a
healthier squad. I wish we could be
back to full strength before tournament
time. We just hope to come
through the first game well, so that
all the boys get to play in the tournament
series."
Winners of these two games meet
in the second game tonight. Consolation
honors will go to the winner of
the first game played between last
night's losers.
Tonight's winners travel to Reedsburg
tomorrow night to face two
other top teams.
East and Watertown played the
second game in the East gym last
night and Prairie du Sac tangled with
Wisconsin High preps in the first.
Stoughton tournament winners come
to East Saturday night to face East
tournament winners.
Reedsburg and East tournament
victors move to Waupan for the sectional
tourney.
East and Kenosha
Beat Central Five
Central wound up its Big Eight
season last Friday night by dropping
a hard-fought battle to Kenosha
65-54 in the latter's home gym.
The victory enabled Kenosha to
tie with Central for the fourth and
fifth place slots in the final Big Eight
standings.
Kenosha led 34-26 at halftime and
then outscored Central 15-8 in the
third quarter to put the game on ice.
Central outscored Kenosha in the
fourth and final quarter but was unable
to overcome the large lead that
Kenosha had built up.
Rod Sikora of the Red Devils was
the game's leading scorer with 24
points. High man for the Downtowners
was Gib Pond with 14 points
followed by Loren Tipler with 13
markers.

A bank draft is a negotiable instrument drawn
by one bank upon another bank. The drawer
bank has funds on deposit with the drawee
bank. Bank drafts are often used in making remittances
from one part of the country to another.
They are desirable because they have high

Junior High and one game to East
Junior High.
Central jumped to a nine to seven
first quarter lead on George Colletti's

free throw. Everybody found the
range in the second quarter as Central
expanded its lead five more
points to end the half 24-17.
Central scored six more points in
the second half outscoring the Junior
Badger Preps 21-15. The game ended
at 45-32.

Dewa and Central's George Colletti
each scored eight.
