Math team tal(es state For the tenth time in the last twelve years the Central

High Math Team has taken first place in the state in the annual Mathematics Contest. The members of the first team are: Marilyn Johnson, David Kaplan, and Chris Casperson. Marilyn came in first in the state with a seore of 85.75 out of a possible 150 points. David and Chris scored 78.00 and 68.00 respectively. The team of seniors chalked up a total team score of 231.75.

The scores will be sent on to district competition and then if they win this to national. Last year Central took district.

Said Bob Brody, Math Club president, "The test this year was a lot harder than last year's and as a result the ~cores are lower." The test was an objective two hour exam which included thirty-f.ive problems worth 3, 4, 5, and 6 points. There was geometry, algebra and a few trigonometry problems on the test.

Central's Crack Squad captured the Nebraska state drill title as they swept the UnivEml;ty of Nebraska Drill Meeet held in Lincoln on March 28. This was the second win in as many outings for the team. The squad won the Metro championship on March 22 at the University of Nebraska at Omaha Drill Meet.

Arnold Dillard, team commander, andl Darrell Taylor, co­commander, placed first in the Best Commander competition.

The Crack Squad defeated second-place Tech by nearly one hundred points, 982 to 889. DiUard, who was edged out of the Best Commander trophy at UN-O by a single point, won the award at Nebraska by nearly twenty-five paints over Tech's commander, 172 to 148.

Competition was judged on the basis of an inspection and 8

Rambo, city commander On April 1, Central's Battalion Commander, Merle Rambo,

Was named Brigade Commander of the Omaha Public Schools. Merle was selected by a panel of three officers from

the 16th Army Corps, headquartered in Omaha. Merle was competing against the Battalion Commanders of the other six public schools which have R.O.T.C. programs.

Since Merle has been promoted, the task of appointing a new Battalion Commander for Central will faU to Sgt. Cecil Russell.

Merle's f,irst reaction to his selection was disbelief. "I knew someone had to be selected but I didn't think it would be me."

The first official order 'of the Brigade Commander will be to name Barby Olson as honorary Brigade Commander. Barby's response to her selection was, "Wow." . . in

Merle says he plans to continue his R.O.T.C. trammg college "so that I can be prep~ to serve my country When it is Deeded."

Brody directs math club field day; Monroe lHS captures most points

Eleven junior high schools participated in the Math Field Day for the Junior High Schools, which was sponsored by the Central High Math Club. The event was held from 8:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. on Saturday, April 12, at Central High School.

Then the partjcipants sepi!-ra~ed to take part in the four ' differerlt' '"iWents which made up the Field Day.

One event, the Chalk Talk Derby, consists of five-minute oral presentations. The topics for the three rounds were Probability, Quadratics, and the Pythagorean Theorem. One student from each school competed delivering a presentation in each round but before different judges each time.

How much dirt is in a hole thirty feet by twenty feet by sixteen feet? (None.) This is fairly typical of the questions which were asket! during the Mad Hatter Marathon. This event consists of a variety of questions which are flashed on a screen for a short time while the students silently work and record their answers.

There were two marathons, one for ninth­graders and one for eighth-graders. One student from each school participated in each division.

Another event, the Leap Frog Relay, is a test which involves individual and cooperative effort between the members of a two-person team from each school.

The Mathematical Games were the fourth event. There were separate competitions for the eighth and ninth -grades. Each participant played three rounds of each game, with a different con­testant each time.

The morning's activities closed with another

assembly. Mr. Duane Perry, math supervisor addressed the group. The group also viewed the fourth round of the Chalk Talk Derby between the top three scorers dn the first three rounds. A wards were presented to the winners of the various events.

Individual winners ~on b09ks, apq th~ t9,P­three schools won plaques.

Monroe was the first place winner. Valley View took second place, and Nathan Hale was th'ird.

In the Chalk Talk Derby, Bill Feay from Monroe placed first, Bruce Bell from Valley View was second, and Mary Pat Walker from Nathan Hale was third.

In the ninth grade Mathematical Games, Paul Pearson from Monroe placed first and Tony Lopez from Bancroft was second. In the eighth grade games first place was won by John Deuchler from Marrs. Steve Denenberg from Lewis and Clark was second.

The winners of the Leap Frog Relay were Larry Denenberg and Dale Mann from LeWlis and Clark. Harry McMaken and Curt Larson from Valley View placed second, and Kurt Anderson and Douglas Berg from Arbor Heights were third.

In the eighth grade Mad Hatter, Steve Denen­berg from Lewis and Clark was first, Jim Green­span from Arbor Heights was second, and John Goldman from Valley View was third. In the ninth grade competition Marcia Angle from Arbor Heights was first, Nancy Seline from Lewis and Clark was second, and Chuck Stephens from Valley View placed third.

Rosenberg, Montgomery shoot (amera, rifle By examlmng the activities

of two Central seniors, Howard Rosenberg and Darwin Mont­gomery, one is able to see the full spectrum of activities p~o­vided by the ·school.

The name Rosenberg is :fa­miliar to many students at .Cen";. tral. As chief photographer of the Register and the O-Book, his name is seen throughout the newspaper. Many a t u den t s know him from his participa­tion in Human Relations Club; presently he is president of the club. He also takes an active part in ·DRAPS and the Forum.

As president of the Human Relations Club, he is expected to plan speakers for the meet­ing and to organize the sub­committees and their activities. He stated that he "tries hard to make an effective club which is to better the commu­nication and relations between the races."

NYC with Anti-Poverty Program; Marbach finds jobs for students

The Neighborhood Youth Oorps is part of the govern­ment's Anti-Poverty Program. It operates within the Omaha high scho()ls through the ad­ministration of the Greater Omaha Community Action committee. (G.O.C.A.)

The purpose of the N.Y.C. in the Ihigh schools is to find needy students part time jobs. The students are offered after school jobs for a maximum of 10 hours a week earning $1.40 per hour.

There are three main objec­tives of the N.Y.C. program. Most important is to enable high school students in need the funds to pay for the neces­sities which their families are unable to provide.

The jobs also acquaint the students with the opportunities and responsibilities of employ­ment situations. In some cases, the N.Y.q. students gain experi­ence in preparation for a job after graduation.

Opportunities are available for 180 students during the school year to work in various Omaha schools doing either custodial, clerical, or teacher's aide jobs.

Mr. J. Marbach is the coun­selor working with Central stu­dents interested in applying for jobs through the N.Y.C. He has an office outside room 048 where he is available from 1 :30 till 4:00 every Tuesday and Thursday.

"We want students to come down and apply for summer employment if they are inter­ested," stresses Mr. Marbach. There will be 430 jobs available this summer. For more infor­mation outside school, there is an N.Y.C. office at 3819 Jones.

On behalf of Central High, the Register extends its sym­pathy to the family of Sue Bauer, who died on April 3 of acute leukemia. Her fami­ly asks that any gifts be made in the form of a c()n­tnbution to the City of Hope.

Cain polls marriage ideas; Finds personality important

Mr. Robert Cain, English teacher, has just completed an experiment concerning what teenagers in the 20th century think is important in terms of marriage. Mr. _ Cain's idea stemmed from the book "Pride and Prejudice," which his classes have just finished read­ing.

His four classes filled out questionaires of 20 multiple choice questions. The students used a number instead of their name. The answers were read to the classes. The boys put down whether the girls' ques­tionnaires made them appealing or not.

The girls marked the boys

questionaires in the same man­ner. The votes were then tallied and a Romeo and Juliet were chosen for each class.

The Romeos were Howard Epstein, Jeff Krum, Steve Nogg, David Cain, and John Sorenson. The Juliets were Cin­dy Wieland, Marilyn Harrison Judy Hahn, and Nancy Sand~ stedt.

Some interesting discoveries were that people prefer dark­haired people, most people would like to marry at 2'2, and that most of the students en. joy outside activities.

Mr. Cain said, "The young place a premium on personal­ity."

CHS uses computer As of April 21st, Central

math students will have the 'Op­portunity to try their skill in computer programming. A tele­type terminal connected to the computer at the Medical Col­lege of the University of Ne­braska is being installed at Cen­tral.

Mr. Bob Boller, manager of the Nebraska University com­puter, has been instructing a first hour experimental math class on the workings of a computer.

The class will also be in­

structed in the langage of neutran, which win be used in writing programs for the com-

puter to solve. On Tuesday, April 22, and

Wednesday, April 23, the stu­dents will go to see the com­puter at the college. Half of the students will go Tuesday and the other half will go Wednesday.

The hook-up will be equipped with a special telephone and typewriter. To USe the com­puter, a student must call and ask for time on the computer. Then he must type the instruc­tions to the computer, which in a matter of minutes or seconds, according to the difficul ty of the problem, sends the solution back through the typewriter, which types it out.

Trumbull returns from Colombia "Colombia is a country of

contrasts," says Mrs. Ellen Trumbull after her ~ trlp tHe%: She left for Colombia with her husba.nd on March 22, and spent about two weeks travelling in South America.

Although the hotels in which she and her husband stayed were modern, about five mi­nutes from their rooms people were living in mud huts with thatched roofs. Their son, a Peace Corps volunteer, accom­panied them on most of their Colombian tour.

They were able to visit the former home of an ex-president in Medillin, Colombia. A gar­den with perhaps the world's largest collection of orchids is maintained for the public at the residence.

They also visited a salt mine near Zipaquira. This mine was started by Indians before the arrival of the Spaniards and is still in operation. The mine is so well supported that there has never been an accident in it.

Fifteen years ago, miners in the area turned the cave-like diggings of the mine into 8

cathedral, second only to Saint Peter's in size. Although the cathedral is rather dark, the soft silver color of the salt walls seemed to glow softly. "The darkness seemed so fit­ting," said Mrs. Trumbull, "since it was made by miners who work so much of the time in darkness."

Math team sweeps North Invitational A sixl-member math team

from Central took first place

at the North High Invitational Math Tournament on Saturday, April 12. The team consisted of Marilyn Johnson, David Kap­lan, John Obal, William Jaksich, Frank Brodkey, and Howard Marshalil.

All of the contestants took a 9O-minute examination. Marilyn Johnson earned the h'ighest

score in the meet with 53 points. David Kaplan achieved the sec­ond: highest score with 51 points. John Gbal took second in the juniors. Frank BrOOkey took second place in the sopho­more contes1:anbl.

Central loses opening three on diamond: Bernstein impressive in four hit defeat Eagles fourth at UNO

Cen'tra!'s bas e b a II team opened its season by dropping its first three ball games. The Eagles fell to teams from Tech, Prep, and South.

Eagles lose sluglest

The Trojans, led by Johnny Rodgers' 4 for 5 perfonnanee at the plate, defeated Central 1'5.10, Tuesday, April 8. Rodgers knocked in four runs, three of these coming on a second in­ning homer. Johnny also scored three runs and stole two bases in this slugfest.

Andy Guzman went 2 for 2, stole one base, and scored three of Central's ten runs. Bob Randleman went 2 for 5 and scored 2 runs.

The game was tied the first four innings. However, the Tro-

Linkmen look I

to good year It appears as though the golf

courses may be one of the bright spots for Central sports this year.

Central's golf team should be much improved over last year's divis ional runner-up. This sea­son's team should be fortified by the return of four letter­men, seniors Scott Cate, Bruce Muskin, Jim Rice, and junior Steve Miller.

Other top prospects for the team should be Gary' Negley, Bob Swan, John Mason, How­ard Cohn, and Jerry Bartek.

The team's practice rounds have prodUced scores averaging around 41. Coach Warren Mar­quiss said that, "These scores were excellent but only time wiH tell how the team -shall' (jo()'

this season!'

jana picked up one run on the Eagles in the fifth and sixth innings.

Tech's Ross blasted a 2 run pinch hit homer in a three run seventh inning for the Trojans. Tech's reliever Bullion shut out the Eagles in the final inning.

Prep hurlers Jim Jacobsen and Jerry Jurgenson combined for a two-hitter while striking out 15 Eagles, Wednesday, April 9. The Bluejays won this glllllle 12-2. Prep put the game out of reach early with a 6 run first inning.

Tim Tata and Larry Gold­strum were the only Eagles to gather hits. Central scored both its runs in the sixth inning as Handleman walked and Tata hit a home run.

Coaches letter in prep years by Steve M.r.ntz

Have you ever wondered how the men who coach Central's t~ams qualified for their posi­tlons ? How did they gain their knowledge of sports? 'wiis coaching an ambition common to aU of them?

In trying to answer these questions, I ran acr088 one common denominator. That is, all of the coaches were above average athletes in high school and college.

Take Mr. Whitehouse for ex­ample. He was an honorable mention All-State basketball standout for Bellevue in 1962. He went on to star in two sports at Kearney State, basket­ban and track. Besides lettering four times in each sport, he Was the captain of varsity bas­ketball for two years and K­club president twice.

Mr. Riley first became inter­ested in gymnastics through the guidance of Central's first gymnastics coach, Mr. Esmond Crown. As a senior at Central, he was urged to join the team even though he had never be­fore attempted the sport. He Went on to Nebraska U. where he twice ' won the al1~around Big Eight championship. In 1955, Mr. Riley placed fifth in ~CAA competition in the hor­IZontal bar and tenth in the all-around division.

Central's head basketball coach, Mr. Martin, played bas­ketball at Hyannis Nebraska f ' or two years. He was selected for honorable mention All­State his junior year in 1952-53 after averaging 24 points. He then attended Chadron State where, says Mr. Martin,

"a skin allergy kept me from playing each year."

Mr. Hanel was a three year letterman in basketball, track, and football at Schuyler, Ne­braska and at Wayne State, where he graduated in 1961. He was versatile in football as he played fullback, halfback, line · backer, and tackle. Mr. Hanel commented that "coaching was always one of my greatest am­bitions, even when I was play­ing."

Perhaps the top athlete­turned-coach, though, is Mr. Lovercheck. As a center and tackle at Doane College, he w~s All-Conference for three years. In 1959, he was recognized as an honorable mention Little All-American. Along with this, he established a Doane record in the discus as a track star.

The man who guided Cen­tral'a tennis team to the state champion'ship last fall, Mr. In­gram, participated in basket­ball, football, and track in high school at Aurora, Nebraska. honically, he never touched a tennis racket until a few years ago at Kearney State.

Another Central alumnus who returned to coach is Mr. Schmad. He played three years of varsity baseball and two of varsity basketball at the Hill­top before graduating in 1961$. At Nebraska U., he made the "All-University" team f or in­tramural basketball.

Mr. Bond concluded my queries with a bit of humor. He relates with a straight face of how he was a wrestler at Doane for two years, "until I found out I was allergic to the mats."

Bernstein hurls 4 hitter Bill Bernstein hurled a four

hitter but lost the baH game as South defeated Central 2-0, last Friday at Boyd. South's pitcher, Gryzwa, threw a 2 hitter. Handleman collected both of these hits as he went 2 for 3.

Central's only threat came in the first inning. Guzman walked but was caught stealing second base; Handleman doubled and moved to third as Tata grounded out. However, Gryzw,a, struck out Boisseree to end the inning.

Bob Handleman commented! after the game, "At least for the first time this season we played like a team." This state­ment seems justified as Central pulled off two double plays in crucial situations against South.

Coach Bob Whitehouse's track squad opened its season with a fourth place finish in the U.N.O. Indoor Meet held Friday and Saturday, March 28 and 29.

Hurdler Les Long provided the lone Eagle first as North, Tech, and Prep edged out Cen­tral. Long took the 00 high hurdles in 7.7, winning the first of his meetings with Prep's Mark George.

Central's mile relay team of Henry Caruthers, George Payne, Nate Butler, and Ned Williams captured third with a 3:40.9. North placed first with a 3:37.2.

The two mile relay team took fourth with an 8 :46 .. 8. Eagle runners Gary Swain, John Mc­Call, Ken Small, and Jim John­son again saw North outdil;­tance the field in a record 8:18.8.

The only other Eagle to place was senior Bruce Sampson in the long jump. Samson leaped 21-10, good enough for third.

The competition at the Burke High Inviltational, Saturd:ay, AprilS, provided rough going for Central's cindermen as they captured seventh place. Tech won the meet, finishing 32 points ahead of second place Prep.

The highest individual fin­isher for Central was Lee Long in the 120 high hurdles. Long, who was ill the week preceding the meet, took second in 14.7 behind Bluejay Mark George's 14.5.

The two mile relay squad took second to Burke in 8:43. ()ither Eagle placers were Nate Butler, third in the 180 lows, Ned Wil­liams and Henry Caruthers, fourth and fifth in the 880, and
