Opinion ~orum

:10 wear or nol 10 wear

cap~ and gown~ puzzling

The strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" float through the air. The orchestra sleeps as they play the march over and over and an~the~ cla~s of seniors march down the aisles wearmg IdentI­cal purple caps and gowns.

Another graduation in cumbersome robes is in store for the class of '73.

This year many seniors expressed the wish to break wi,th the tradition of caps and gowns. How­ever, poor planning and belated organization hindered their cause.

Although Dr. Moller supported the idea of no caps and gowns, he was 'restricted by the time element and the school board.

Some of the seniors felt that the $6.00 fee for the cap and gown would be better spent if it were used for: (1) a scholarship fund, (2) im­provements of athletic facilities, (3) more up-to­date books for the library, (4) a "junket fund" that would enable debate team members to go out of town for meets, for out of town orchestra, band or vocal music concerts, or (5) up-dated equipment for the science department.

The problem with collecting $6.00 per pers'On for a donation is that the school has no legal right to collect the money from every student. They can collect for the caps and gowns because you either pay for them and go to commencement or you don't and you don't.

The historical purpOSe of caps and gowns was to have all the students appear equal in their identical purple caps and gowns. It also adds to the uniformity of the commencement exercises.

It would look odd or at best different at Bacca­laureate to see all the schools in caps and gowns and "those terrible Centralites" in dresses and suits (jeans?).

To wear or not to wear caps and gowns is an emotional question. There are those vehemently against wearing caps and gowns and there are those vehemently for wearing them. There are of course the usual apathetic majority who don't care one way or another and will swim with the majority's decision.

And th~re are the members of the school board, who are supreme to all except the state legisla­ture, who are opposed to the idea. If it is truly too late for this class to abolish the wearing of caps and gowns, then perhaps next year's class of '74 will undertake the job in November, when Dr. Moller isn't so pressured for time.

Gretchen Kugel

In regard to a letter written by John Nie­meyer in the last issue of the paper where he states "Until we see and smell the true sights and odor of victory, we will always be proud of President Nixon, our country, and an honorable peace," I have noticed contrasting viewpoints with many students around the school.

Initially, making the statement, "we will al­ways be proud of President Nixon," simply doesn't apply to all of us. While it is true that he has made steps to form peace in Vietnam, it is also true that he escalated the war to its highest point ever; therefore spending more of the tax­payer's money.

Though the President deserves praise for the engineering of negotiations that led to a cease­fire and partial release of prisoners-of-war, it is my belief that he doesn't deserve our eternal pride and admiration simply because of the war tactics he prescribed during the time of nego­tiations (those being the concentrated bombing and mining of North Vietnam) .

Furthermore, the value of the words "honor­able peace" is questionable. I say this for two reasons. Firstly, there is never honor in having to end thousands of human lives to achieve peace (though sometimes it is necessary); and secondly, the peace we have achieved will effect only us since, according to experts, the war in Vietnam will drag on for some t ime to come.

In conclusion, let us simply consider that a uni­versal pride for President Nixon is non-existent, even though he was doing what he thought was proper. Let us hope that the day will corne when peace can be achieved without increasing blood­shed and suffering beforehand.

Four juniors to try for English award

Survey reflects morals Four Central juniors have

been nominated for citations of excellence in wri,ting. Catherine Davis, Atlanta Dye, Nick New­man and Warren Weiner were nam~ to represent Central in the annual Achievement Awards competition sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).

Two modern problems students, George Pico and Larry Bern. stein conducted a survey on morals for a class project. The be. havior evaluation survey consisted of statements to which th€ students and teachers answered either "yes" it is bad behaVior or "no" it isn't bad behavior.

Beat the Boredom Dieting, exercise beat the bulges

by Kristin Menke

Hello - gasp, gasp - to all you - wheeze, pant, - energetic boredom beaters - pant, gasp, sigh. No, I don't have asthma, I just finished the final test of my surefire shape-ya-up physical fitness program. With the help of diet specialist Dr. O. "Fats" Becity and exercise experts Piggy Fleming and Mark Spitzup, Beat the B has come up with a progr8lm guaranteed to trim ya down, build ya up, and put more bounce in your buggy!

Diet tips Have you found yourself stuck in a study hall desk more

than once? Have your jeans suddenly shrunk up to the point of strangulation? Well, maybe that's because after your third sand­wich a lot more is spreading than peanut butter and jelly! A word of caution, this could be the start of something big! To keep ,things from getting out of hand - Dr. Becity has a few (very few) diet tips which may help a little (very little ) with your battle of the bulge. 1. Memorize the latest "Ayds" adver­tisement. 2. Substitute shredded foam rubber for your usual breakfast cereal. (at least it won't get soggy!) 3. Forget what time lunch happens. 4. Make a sack lunch and leave it on the bus. 5. East in Central's student lounge. 6. Tape your mouth shut. Well, maybe we should just go on the exercise portion while Dr. Becity finishes his box of chocolate-covered peanuts.

Maybe you're not r eally too fat, and you just need a tow rope to make it up to the cafeteria. Or is your girl fri end con­stantly beating you in arm wresUing? Do you find yourself dozing off while running to your next class? All of these are symptoms of the chronic "Blahs."

Fleming and Spitzup's unique body building program includes several suggestions especially for Centralites, guaranteed to ban­ish those blahs, like scheduling half of your classes on 4th floor and the other half in the band room (alternating of course).

Exercise around city If you can't quite fit all this into your school schedule there

are also lots of opportunities around the city to get your exercise in at minimum cost and maximum fun .

The YMCA just south of school, offers pool, gym, track, etc. to student members, and that includes girls!

Now is the perfect time to round up a tennis partner and brush up on your serves before warm weather crowds hit the courts.

Dancing is also included in the program. (Provided you dance as many fast as slow!) So is running after buses, trying to fly kites on calm days, and swimming the Atlantic ocean.

According to Dr. Becity and my own t esting, this program is sure to take something out of you, if not off you, so stick with it, gang ! Remember, the reason Rome wasn't built in a day is because the construction crew was so out of shape.

Until next time, keep beating that boredom along with the bulge!

"The purpose of th t' c,mfer­ence is to enlighten counselors on the concept of the na\~; , and to inform them of the oppor­tunities for young peopic ent.er­ing the service," said ?If r. Byers.

Other than visiting th,' c1 a.;:s· rooms and trade school,; within the Command School, thi' coun· selors interviewed the ,:lilor, aboard one of the de~tro yer

The sailors receive a reg-ular salary while they are attending school. "Most of the sailo:" saHI they really liked the na\'y and the training they r eceiYl'd," )I r. Byers commented. He :ldded that the majority of the enlisted men make the navy tht' ir career and that women have th e same opportunities as men.

Mr. Byers also said, "The tour and conference was an enJoy­able learning experience, :lnd I feel that I'm well enoug-h In­formed to help any students wh0 might be interested in joilllng the navy."

Golden Gloves Boxers

1 ... _

"It doesn't bother me to punish somebody in the ring. It's just part of the sport. You know that your opponent is out to do the same to you."

This comment was echoed by Central's two amateur Golden Gloves boxers, Mike CappeUano and Jeff Parker. Both fight and tr:lin out of Omaha's boxing haven, the Foxhole Gym, which has its major claim to fame in Ron Stander.

Both Mike and Jeff won their weight division in Omaha's Golden Gloves Tournament, held recently at the Civic Auditorium. Mike, who is a Central senior, ·took a 3-0 decision in the 112 lb. division, while Jeff took a decisioned victory in the 132 lb. divis ion. The two boxers will now advance to the Midwest Golden Gloves Tourney, to be held in Omaha, March 9.

Excessive Training Mike and Jeff work out quite a bit at the Foxhole Gym,

doing things from skipping rope, to having a medicine ball lnunced off their chests. Mike explained his normal training Toutine, "First, I usually try to run quite a bit, and then I follow with a series of warm-up drills; shadow boxing, hitting the sand bags, skipping rope, which keeps you on your toes, and hitting the speed bag, which bUilds up your speed and coordina­tion. You do a lot of sparring."

Both fighters agreed that the important thing while fighting in the ring, is to box you'r own style. Jeff commented, "I try to box my own style every time. I use different moves to try to

Goldtm Gloves ch3/Il1ps, Mike Cappellano (left), and J eff Parker (right), work out while shadow boxing and hitting the sand ball".

set up my punches. A good offense is a better defense. You have to be aggressive."

Boxing Future Neither boxer leaned toward the idea of turning professional,

although Mike's father is a professional boxer. Jeff stated, "To me, boxing is a good sport. It keeps you in shape, and teaches you how to protect yourself."

Every amateur boxers goal is the National Golden Gloves Tournament. Mike commented, "The competition is really going to be tough, and I first have to win at the Midwest tourney, but my goal is to make it to the Nationals."

Spring Sports Underway Spring is in the air, meaning the beginning of baseball and

boys and girls track, taking over the sports spotlight from basket­ball, wrestling, and gymnastics.

Coaches are hoping that continued good weather will give them a chance to get outside and work out before cuts have to be made.

Eagles earn state berth The one game season has

started. For the first time in four years, Central has advanced to the Class A state basketball tournament. The Eagles gained their way into the tourney by upending Millard and Rummel in district play.

Central (16-6), seeded fourth in the state tourney, will play Beatrice (13-7), Thursday at 2:00 at Nebraska's Coliseum. An Eagle Victory would pit Central against the winner of Boys Town vs. Westside, in the semi­finals Friday, at 12 :00. But for now, it's one game at a time.

Sweet revenge The scoreboard stood at 66-51.

For Central, it meant a trip to the state meet. For Rummel, it meant the end of the season.

It took one year, but the Eagles gained sweet revenge against the team that abruptly ousted them from district play last year, by defeating Rum­mel, last Friday night, at Northwest.

Sophomore, J ohn C. Johnson, playing only his third varsity game, scored 21 points, along with gathering 15 rebounds, leading the patient Central at­tack that grew stronger as the game progressed.

Central never trailed after a Larry Butler free throw put the Eagles ahead 9-8, early in the first quarter, and it was only a matter of counting down the minutes, as the Eagles had a comfortable cushion towards the end of the game.

Charles Lewis complemented Johnson's 21 points, with 15 of his own, while teammates, Larry Butler and Dennis Forrest gath­ered 14 and 12 points each. Ron Parker played a tremendous floor game setting up the Eagle offense.

JV squad ends successful year

Central's JV basketball team finished a successful campaign, ending with a 14-2 record.

The JV squad, coached by Dave James, took the National Division title, while tying with Creighton Prep for the overall championship. A total team ef­fort contributed .to the team's success.

According to Coach James, "We received exceptionally out­standing play from our starting five; Sylvester Pierce, John C. Johnson, Tom Allen, and Ralph and Jim Dorsey, but everyone on the squad contributed to our success."

J ohn C. Johnson was the lead­ing rebounder, while Sylvester Pierce was second in both cata­gories. The team outscored their opponents by an average of 15 points per game.

Eagles celebrate district vic­tory fo llowing 21 point per­formance of John C. Johnson.

feating the Indians, 63-61, in Class A district competition, Wednesday, February 28, at Northwest.

The Eagles were coasting along with a comfortable 15 point lead with three minutes left in the game, but were then outscored 15-1, as Millard drew within one point of the Eagles \vith 8 seconds left.

However, Dennis For res t canned the second of two free throw attempts to send happy Eagle partisans home with a two point victory.

Central used an effective running game coped with 59 per cent field goal shooting in the fi'rst half, to gain a 38-26 halftime lead.

The Eagles placed four men in double figw'es, led by the 15 points of Dennis Forrest. Sup­porting the Central attack with 12 points each, were Larry But-

ler, Charles Lewis, and Ron Parker.

Burke rebuffed Central rode the shooting

wizardry of Larry Butler to a 74-53 victory over Burke in the final regular gaIll't of the sea­son, Friday, February 23, at Norris.

Butler scored a season high 21 points, along with contribut­ing six assists, while leading the Eagle fast break.

Trailing by six points after the end of the first quarter, the Eagles ran off 14 unanswered points to build a 28-20 halftime lead that was enlarged to the game ending 21 point victory margin.

John Lewis and Mike Ashford contributed to the Eagle offense with 11 and 10 points , respec­tively, as Coach Jim Martin substituted freely throughout the second half.

Coach Smagacz yells instJ'uctions while assisting Cathedral gil'ls team.

Smagacz coaches girls Central teacher and f orm er

football and track coach, Frank Smagacz, is coaching a new sport now, girls basketball.

Metro winner Ml'. Smagacz, who tutored the

great Gale Sayers , is now ac­tive as an assistant coach for Cathedral High's girls basket­ball team. The team competed in the Omaha Metro girls bas-

ketball league, rolling up an im­pressive 16-0 record, along with taking the Wahoo Invitational Tournament, and the Metro title.

Mr. Smagacz commented that Nebraska girls basketball is dif­ferent from Iowa girls basket­ball, "In Iowa, you have 3 girls on each side of the court, with neither side able to cross the center line. You usually see one girl doing all of the scoring. Our league uses regular boys state basketball rules. We use only five girls, and all are m­volved on both offense and de­fense."

CENTRAL TAKE STATE Girls more emotional Mr. Smagacz stated that the

girls a re unpredictable because of their youth. The team is made up of freshmen and sopho­mores. "The girls are definitely more emotional than boys", stated Mr. Smagacz. "Some­times they feel like crying after making a bad play."

FROM THE PEP CLUB "The girls know the funda­

'Girls make pies. act as hostesses at House of Pies

"It's better than my moth­er's!", was the comment of one faculty member after sampling the pie served at Central High's "House of Pies", a dessert luncheon given by the Foods Class last Friday.

The purpose of the luncheon was to give the girls who par­t icipated ex perience in enter­taining and practice in being courteous hostesses. Faculty members wer e invited to 039 during second and third lunches to enjoy coffee or t ea and a piece of pie.

"Gee, there aren' t any black­birds in this one."

"I t was great: n ice service, and good ex perience for all the girls", commented Dr. MoliN . He devoured the last piece of stJ'awberry pie.

Other pies on the menu were peach, bluebelTY, grasshopper, a nd traditional a pple.

Joe Pigeon better mascot than Eagle

Register Want Ads

The eagle, supposedly handsome and courageous, has for many years been dear to the hearts of Central students as the mascot for their school. But, as a matter of circumstances Central's association w ith the bird world has been extended to' include a second and actually more appropriate mascot, the humble pigeon.

Unfortunately, Joe Pigeon is not the most glamorous crea­ture in the world, and has always played "second fiddle" to t he glorified eagle. This is truly an injustice when careful study proves that Joe Pigeon is really more of an Eagle Scout than our official mascot, as you will see.

A pigeon is industriolls. While most human Centralites are sti ll groping for the alarm clock, Joe Pigeon has already been up an hour and a half pursuing his number one pastime : eating. (A pigeon is always hungry.)

A pigeon is loyal. Once Joe chooses his mate, he remains true blue for life. Rarely does he even move from his original homesite.

A pigeon is peaceful. Joe Pigeon never fights unless it's over that sunflower seed you spit out the studyhall window. (Even then, he'd rather lose the sunflower seed than a tailfeather!)

A pigeon is at hletic. Because of his advanced wing structure, Joe has an avcrage cruising speed of 60 m.p.h. Believe it Or not, it is not unusual for Joe to zip out to the Westroads for lunch and make it back in time for 6th hour!

A pigeon is socially prominent. Joe has relatives in Central Park, at the United Nations, and even a great aunt in The Vatican City.

I n addition to all these outstanding virtues, Joe Pigeon doesn't drink, smoke, swear, or tell dirty jokes! So the next time your conversation is interrupted by a soft cooing outside the window, stop and think before throwing a book at the source. Remember, the pigeons have heen here longer than you have and they probably think you talk pretty funny too! '
