FOREWORD

-

After the years have stolen by, and we are no

longer youthful, we hope the pages of this book will help
us to remember all the smiles and tears that came from
our high school days. School means learning, but our
cheering and screaming during games, our laughter at a

school donee, the latest gossip floating through the halls,
the shouting of basketball boys from the gym after school,
and the groans after tests - all these, too, are school
to us.

So we present our book - The 1955 Falcon.

4

DEDICATION

- to Mr. Valente, our faithful and efficient advisor for two years. He has spent many hours
making plans for the furtherance of our class, and he has been successful every time. With his
understanding and friendliness, both as a teacher and a friend, he has mode our school life a very
happy experience. Although at times, our success as a class was doubtful, his encouragement
and guidance have pulled us through our problems. He deserves much good luck and success; so
with great appreciation, we, the Class of '55 dedicate our yearbook, The Falcon, to him.

PRINCIPAL
1

'In past generations schools enrolled only the
easiest to teach; now all the children of all the
people must be taught. It will take more than criticism to remedy the

lack of classrooms and the

shortage of teachers.
Improvement is possible
through effort of all the people."
A. H. Erickson

ASSISTANT
PRINCIPAL
The education of children is one of the most
important functions of any community. Public funds
are appropriated, according to law, to finance this
education. It is the duty of the parents to see that
their children are taking advantage of every opporw
tunity. Are your children getting value received for
money spent?

SENIORS

This, the third year of Central's history, has revealed a class of 75 seniors. Our class officers include BRIAN BETH, president; LEN WERMELING, vice president; LORRAINE KRAWCZYK, secretary; LIL EPPING, treasurer; and GENE OLSON, student council representative.
As October approached all the classes were busy selling tickets for Homecoming1 hoping
that their candidate for queen would win. The seniors came out on top, and on October 81 we
were very proud to hove Beth Wilson reign over the festivities.
Nancy White was given the task of being editor of our annual. The entire staff worked very
hard to overcome difficulties in order to produce an outstanding annual.
In October, our senior pictures were taken. All of us were very well satisfied and now ore
looking forward to getting the colored ones we ordered.
Our Class Play, "Please, My Nerves!", is coming soon and will be one of the big events of
the year.
An addition to our class this year was Tom Winther. He transferred from Idaho, and we all
wei corned him.
Our class colors, royal blue and silver, provide a vivid background for the white rose, our
class flower. We all felt that "Spokes of Knowledge Turn the 'Nheels of Success" was an excellent motto, ond we hope thot it will be long remembered.
As that long awaited occasion, graduation, approaches us, we look back with fond and happy
memories of our years at Central. Mr. Becker and Mr. Valente, our advisors, have made these
years most enjoyable and successful by unceasingly giving their assistance and guidance. We
would like to give them our sincerest thanks and wish them never-ending success.

FRESHMEN

When school opened in September, there were 109 freshmen present. It soon rose to 113 and
we boasted the largest class.
Officers of the class are JERRY BRUNNER, president; TOM CHENEY, vice president; WALTER BLODGETT, secretary; RONNIE NELSON, treasurer; MELINDA MILLER, reporter; and
DAVE WESTMAN, student council representative. Mr. Broten is our class advisor and Miss
Suttinger is assistant advisor.
When Homecoming time came around, we looked forward to the game and chose Jessie Day
as our candidate for queen.

Initiation is an accepted part of freshman life, so we all participated sportingly and willingly
carried sophomore books for them and pushed pencils down the hall. The boys looked charming
in dresses and the girls sported cover-alls.
We are very proud of our freshmen basketball team and hope they come out with a good rec·

ord. Mr. Becker is the coach and Delmar Golbricht is the team captain.
The freshmen also sponsored a few dances and had a good time at all of them.
The freshmen are doing very well this year and having a lot of fun. We hope to enjoy it even
more next year.

Day, and Degree Day. Other events we included on our calendar are: Initiation, Senior
Trip, Ice Skating Party, district meetings, demonstrations, Mother and Daughter Banquet,
Style Show, aid to an institution, dances, and serving at various banquets.
Junior, Chapter, and State degrees in F.H.A. can be attained by the girls. The degrees are achieved by goals which each individual girl sets up for herself. F.H.A. pins
can be purchased also.
Our motto is ''Toward New Horizons''• Our colors are red and white and the red rose
is our flower.

as well. These members elected Jim Huntoon, president; Sharon Voight, vice president;
Roberto Thomey, secretary and treasurer; Charles McCormack, student council repre~
sentative; and Lorna Gentz, club reporter.
The Science Club's main objective is to further the interest of science to the high
school students.
Each member selects a project pertaining to some field of science. Some of the pro•
jects this year were crystal radio sets, electronics, cross-pollination, forced plant mutations, microbiology and aeronautics. A student reads, experiments, and compares his
project with other students to further his knowledge of his own project. The Wisconsin
Junior Academy of Science and the Science Clubs of America, with whom we are affiliated, send us literature on suggested activities and projects.
The Science Club of C.H.S. is joining with other high school science dubs of our
locality to form the Kenosha County Science Fair which is held annually. We hope to
have the Science Fair held at Central next year.
On December 29, 1954, our club went to Chicago to visit the Museum of Science and
Industry. We learned a great deal in addition to having lots of fun. The Science Club
plans to do this as a yearly trip.

Central's Student Council is for the purpose of acquainting students with the rules
and operation of our school. The members represent the student body and therefore ex-

press their opinions, recommend changes or additions for the good of the school, and
make decisions.

The officers fhis year ore:

Pat Mc:Cormock, president; Gene Olson, vice president;

Lil Epping, secretary-treasurer; and Deanna Schenning, reporter. Mr. Ferraro is again
our advisor, and Mr. Lonergan is assistant.
The Student Council is not organized to make money, but we sponsored a benefit
movie, "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" and a dance to help replace money that was stolen.
We also arranged a faculty basketball game with Lake Geneva's faculty.
Again, as last year, the hall system is in operation, whereby monitors are stationed
at almost every door. Because the students co~operated so well last year, the rules
now are much less strict. We also recommended that the Student Council members be in
office for a whole year instead of just a semester. After the student body voted affirma~
tively and it was passed on a vote at two consecutive student council meetings, the
amendment was written in our constitution. As our experience in Student Council in·
creases, so do our responsibilities. This year we altemated at every home basketball
game to take tickets. Each time three are assigned a post at which they take tickets
until halftime of the varsity game. This worked very well, and in the future we hope
to be responsible for all tickets - selling, taking, and bookkeeping.
We took part in the Christmas party this '(ear and again distributed all the gifts. In
order to get new ideas and suggestions for improving our Student Council, we visited
schools in Modi son where we learned a great deal and had a very enjoyable time.
Our Student Council has been very successful this year, and we hope the councils of
the future years will continue to serve the school and lead its progress. We want to
thank Mr. Erickson for the help he has given us through the year. We also want to thank
Mr. Ferraro and Mr. Lonergan for their fine service and assistance as our faculty advisors.

The Library Club, a co-educational organization numbering 108 students under the capable leadership
of Miss Irene Bosman, held its first meeting of the new school year on September 21st. The election of
officers included: Barb Clark, president; Beth Wilson, vice-president; Carla Olsen, secretary-treasurer

"When others fail him, the wise man looks to the sure companionship of books" was one of the many
slogans which were posted in the rooms and lobby area by the Library Club in the campaign for National
Book Week. Besides the posting of decorative signs and slogans, four hundred new books were added
to the ever growing library which is enjoyed by all.
Through the fine co-operation of its members the Library Club sponsored an all school Christmas
Dance which was very successful. The proceeds from various money-raising projects will be placed into
a fund for the purpose of purchasing furniture and equipment for a recreation reading center in the library.
The library science class, who receive daily instruction in carrying out various library routine services,
book repair work, and the processing of new books for the library, were automatically made members of
the Library Club.

JUNIOR PROM

Central's 1954 Junior Prom was a wonderful success, and we were and
still are very proud of it. Don Smitz was elected as Prom King, and he
chose Barb Clark for his Queen. 11 Biue Hawaii" was our theme, and our
centerpiece was a Hawaiian thatched hut complete with canoe, palm trees
and a large moon hanging overhead. Don was crowned by Jim Huntoon,
junior class president, and then Don crowned Barb, She carried a bouquet
of red roses, and her crown was also made of red roses. Don and Barb's
attendants were: Beth Wilson and Brian Beth, Dolores Wisden and Kenny
Walton, Bev Fields and Ronnie Eckhart, and Phyllis Heckel and Gary
Pitts. Jim Grimmer was chairman, and we appreciate the swell job he did.

Central's Homecoming for 1954 was held on October 8 where Beth Wilson reigned as
queen. The night before the big game brought a pep rally and snake dance that gathered
around a huge bonfire. Len Wermeling and Coach Peterson also spoke briefly. We enjoyed
victory by defeating Rochester 21-20. At the dance, Len, team captain, crowned Beth proudly - thereby bringing to a successful end, Homecoming 1954!

CLASS PROPHECY
The 1955 Graduating Class of Central High School held their reunior, June 6, 1960 at the
Central High School auditorium. As we glanced arcund the room, we missed Paul Morman,
Brian Beth, Bob Terry, Don Weber, Bob Stanek and Jim Voves. After several inquiries, we
found that they are now serving their country on foreign shores. Paul Morman is in the Army,
and he is going to be a twen1y-yeor man. Bob Terry and Bob Stanek are doing the same in

the Navy.

Brian Beth hopes to get discharged soon from the Air Force where he is flying

jets, so he can return to his wife, Beth, the former Beth Wilson, and his six hundred-acre

farm.

We heard that Jim Voves just received a medal for bravery beyond the call of duty,

year at C.H.S. Sitting next to her was Cathy Ludwig who is modeling at Marshall Fields.
Lois Paddock is married to Carl and is living in Chicago. Her friend Kay Heffernan is now
a professional ice skater with Barbara Ann Scott. We hear she has recently returned from

Schwanz. They have just returned from a trip to Hawaii with beautiful tans. Marilyn is
starting to write a book on Hawaii. Nancy is going to continue her nursing career. Phylli~
is going to settle down, work, and hope to earn enough to make a return visit to Hawaii.

Also at that table we saw Bob Schmidt, Ronald Robers, and Mark Wisnefski. Bob has his
own implement business in Iowa. He has finally found the right girl, we see, and he looks
very pleased. Ronnie Robers is driving in the 100 mile race at Indiana and Mark is driving
a Blatz Beer truck all over the United States.
At the next table we found Jim Huntoon who is studying to be a second Einstein. Wayne

married. Sitting across from them was Jane Paasch, Nancy Leach, and Patti Whitcher. Jane
and Nancy are both teaching Elementary School and Patti is working for the F. B. I. at
Washington.
Right across from table seven we see Lorraine Krawczyk who is helpin11 her husband run

Television Factory. Also we found Barbara Corbin who is an airline stewardess with Pan
American Airlines. Next to Barb we saw Charles McConnack. He is studying to be a doctor.
Gene Olson is also busy in college learning to be an architectural engineer. On the left of
Charles we found Roger Mick, who, people say is still smoking the cigar that he had at

fann. On the right we found Denis Smith telling Wayne Gillmore how to raise sheep, and
Wayne is telling Denis how to run a one thousand-acre farm. Mabel Tuttle is busy taking
care of two small children. We hear she is a very good mother. Carla Olsen is well occupied
with her house and her husband, Richard Otto. Next to Carla is Larry Leach who has prospered well and now owns his farm.
