1958 den-trails Adams Central School Vol. 9 Monroe, Indiana Contents Welcome! We invite you, as students, teachers, and patrons to take a closer look at Adams Central. Out school lies on the west side of Monroe. Just four and a half years ago Central was completed. After the big moving day—Kirkland to Monroe— things began settling down. Showing you not only the typical teen-agers, we will tour each department, explain the methods of teaching and learning. Every¬ one is on the move, many exciting instances are happening every day. We have fun at Central by joining clubs and organizations. Through publications we try to inform you of school affairs. Some of our activities, like the band and chorus, have competed in different contests. You can also see shots of some of the basket¬ ball games, especially those exciting close ones which we all remem¬ ber. We also see the other teams who have represented A.C. Did you ever wonder if a teacher has fun? Well, we are going to let you meet them and their hobbies. We’ll also take a look at the seniors and their many activities. On this trip you will see over 900 faces; some of them you’ll recognize. We have one big aim—to learn. That is why we are at Central. Now you have a way of seeing how we are taught and how we live 175 days a year. L A 1 Between classes and after assemblies the halls become jammed. Mr. Frantz often acts as patrolman. for freshman Up to Date Fads Life at Adams Central is similar to that of other schools. At basketball sectional time ask them who is going to win. “Central, who else!” At the end of the semester, books are carried home even if they haven’t been all year; throughout the community a small light burns in each house far into the night. In keeping with the fads, all the boys have a pair of ivy-league trousers with an ivy-league shirt and a flat-top or crew-cut to match. Boot shoes and the “blouson look” keep the girls in the running. The lunch line, crowded halls, and clusters of kids are everyday oc¬ currences at Central. Freshman, Junior Isch lugs senior books to classes on initiation day. 4 The lunch line may seem long but the waiting is forgotten when we receive our plates with food. the Everyday Sights Barbara Sommer, Marilou Uhrick, Donna Cauble, and Judy Boggess hear Mary Hamrick explain what happened last period. “Yes-sir-ee, it was this long,” says Mr. Haggard, jokingly to several junior boys. I 5 Terry Hike fixes a tire at a local filling station where he works after school and on Saturdays. Aerial view shows annual 4-H fair where many Central students exhibit their projects. Fun and Service Working in a local restaurant, Wanda Neuenschwander earns extra spending money. 6 Centralites attend various churches in the community, among them, the Pleasant Dale Church of the Brethren. Connected with the school are the outside activities of the pupils in the sur¬ rounding communities—parties, church activities, and jobs. Monroe Days, a social event of the community, bring young and old together to match skills in such highlights as the car smash and the cake walk. The 4-H fair exhibits many projects made by the local youth, and the talent shows are fun for all. Slu mber parties and surprise birthday parties flourished this year. Class parties were also quite the rage. Many of Central’s teen-agers earned extra money for clothes, snacks, and dates by finding odd-jobs after school and on Saturdays. On Sundays most of the pupils could be seen at the local churches and in the evening at their respective youth fellow¬ ship meetings. At noon a frequent meeting place is in the study hall. Here last night’s ball game is summarized. for Social Life Snacks highlighted many after-game and holiday parties. CEN-TRAILS KING AND QUEEN’S COURT —Winston Lister, Jacie Snyder, Murl Yoder, Carol Haggard, King Rolland Zimmerman, Queen Jane Grimm, Pat Liechty, Gary McMillen, Chloe Ellen Neuenschwander, and Richard Hirschy. Billy Striker carried the roses, and Mary Sue Lantz held the crown. Big Events Crowned during the Central-Chester Center game, Queen Jane, a senior, was chosen by the student body. Highlight School Year Throughout the school year, students look forward to many big events. The county music festival, a Christmas musical with the nativity pantomime, and the grade children’s operetta kept the Music Depart¬ ment busy. Crowning the Cen-Trails King and Queen highlighted life at Central. The annual Thanksgiving Program with the baskets filled and decorated by the homerooms was held in November. The FFA conducted the service and Rev. John Mishler was guest speaker. Adams Central’s Sunshine Society officers are Cecilia Lehman, president; Barbara Schuler, Ossian president; Suzanne Edwards, treasurer; Barbara Arnold, vice-president; Carolyn Yake, correspond¬ ing secretary; Joan Rupert, recording secretary. Mr. Shoup explains the structure of a sentence to Delora Mishler as Larry Funk and Dixie Smith look on. English, Latin Help Us Express Ourselves A large per cent of Centralites were enrolled in language this year. English, Latin and Speech make up the language department. Latin students under the instruc¬ tion of Mrs. Stucky enjoyed a full year. Learning new words and the source of many English words held new interests for each member of the class. Miss Beihold’s Speech class ex¬ pressed their opinions, gave explana¬ tions and presented descriptions thru writing and oral speaking. Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors were all enrolled in English with Miss Beihold, Miss Beavers, and Mr. Shoup as teachers. They studied the kinds of sentences, read books, and expressed themselves by writing. Debates in speech class gave students the oppor¬ tunity to express their opinions on different sub¬ jects. Making up one de¬ bate team are Floyd Zimmerman, M a r i 1 o u Uhrick, Winston Lister, Jerry Bovine, and Carolyn Head. Winston Lister proves to Mary Hamrick, Nancy Jueregui, Doris Bluhm and Barbara Sommer that he knows how to conjugate a Latin verb. I m I I Lois Steury, Sandra Swygart, Larry Foreman, and Larry Decker share their knowledge of American political parties with Mr. Haggard and the World History class. History Informs Us of World Affairs Although satellites and missiles were important topics in government and history classes this year, the bulk of the time was still spent on ancestry and the present gov¬ ernment set-up. Fridays found these groups catching up on their reading with the current weekly newspapers and voicing their opinions on the same. History, divided into two groups World History and American History, was elective to Sophomores and required to Juniors. Most Sophomores elected to take World History. Government and Sociology, required by the state for seniors, gave pupils the basic fundamentals in government and social life. American History requires study as Don Ray and Roger Slickman have learned. Senior girls Pat Liechty and Doris. Bluhm memorize basic fundamentals of American government. Freshmen, required by the state to take math, had two electives this year— algebra and general mathematics. Be¬ cause it was the largest algebra class ever to enroll at Central, it had to be divided. Leroy Cable and Miss Lucille Beavers headed the two divisions. Sophomores got their first taste of angles and proofs under Miss Beavers in geometry class. Math majors in the junior and senior classes enrolled in trigonometry, a subject dealing almost entirely with triangles and required in college for math majors. This class came also under the direction of Miss Beavers. Our Interests Grow As We Joy Yoder and Miss Beavers agree that Reggie Welch’s answer for number two is 4a-4b. Proving theorems is a chore as Jim Brown, Norman Hart, Doveanna Nussbaum, and Carolyn Myers have learned in geometry class. jlDave Isch and Max Egley show Steve Brandenburg how basic trigonometric functions are developed. 12 While Joe Morris dissects a fish, Judy Yoder constructs a diagram identifying its inter¬ nal parts. Mr. LeMaster with Janice Liechty, Allen Freels, Dian Kohli, study the characteris¬ tics of a deer head during biology class. Learn to Think for Ourselves Freshman classes collected A ' enty-five types of insects and issected ten different kinds of nimals. This year physics was offered a the juniors and seniors. The class onsisted of seventeen boys whp •articipated in interesting exper - nents and discussions. Heading the science de r - nent was Douglas LeMaster. 3ary McMillen illustrates one o jasic machines of physics, the p Hey, o Murl Yoder, Winston Lister, Jet rharp, Jerry Beard, and Rolljiel Zimmerman. 13 By Learning to Work with a In Central’s vocational c lasses we learn methods in homemaking, farming, woodworking, and elec¬ tricity. We arranged flower bouquets and conducted a dating survey in the high school for two of the projects of the senior girls. Some of the other classes used sewing, cooking, and room arrangements as their projects. Central’s agriculture classes show that the work of the farmer is unlimited. Studying soils and soil fertilization and crop and livestock management are a few of the chores. The new farm shop keeps everyone busy. Senior shop boys enjoy music through their crystal sets while working on their drawings and other electricity projects. Shellac¬ ing and welding are other tasks for the shop classes. In their industrial arts class eleventh grade boys, Larry Wittwer, Larry Habegger, Terry Witter, and Joe Sprunger learn the precautions of welding by doing. Mr. Watson explains the appearances of dif¬ ferent weeds to Max Moser, Allen Freels, Claude Striker, Kenny Reed and Roy Mazelin, sitting. Barbara Sommers watches Mrs. Sexton, Home Ec. teachen, pin a hem in Carolyn Head’s skirt in the Senior Home Ec. class. John Ross along with other class members do calisthenics in the 7th grade physical education. Physical Education classes put ac¬ tivity into school life. Playing basket¬ ball and baseball create interest for recreation. Calesthenics and tumbling develop strong and useful bodies. Drivers’ Training classes help make good citizens by teaching them to drive safely. Students learn to control their emotions. They are taught the parts of the car and how each part functions. Purpose, Our Citizenship Grows Mr. Cable, drivers training instructor, shows Dixie Smith the position of each guage on the instrument panel. Brooks Arnold, another driving student looks on. 15 1 l i ; j 1 V 1 if a Jiy m | ILj 1 ■ } 1 Jlfl , i L ’ Art, Music Create New Hobbies In art class we learn to be creative and to relax while drawing. Pupils in art and music find that the Art Club and Music Departments are a good place to develop new interests. Art Club members find that there are many hobbies connected with art. Examples include paint¬ ing, ceramics, sculpturing, and molding. Music Department pupils may take an active part in the band or other instrumental groups. Those in chorus may sing in different groups such as glee club, girls quartet, girls ensemble and the boys quartet. Records particularly interest teen-agers because relaxing and listening to records is a favorite pastime. Central’s brass quartet, Delora Mishler, Jim Hoffman, Brenda Sommer, and Dewey Arnold, plays for different organizations. Music is fun and a good pastime. Loren Habegger, Jerry Franz, Marilyn Christener, Brenda Sommer, and Onalee Barkley form a combo at noon hour. 16 Timed Writings Plague Business Kids Business education courses open the doors to many profitable positions in many different interesting lines of work. A major aim of business education is to prepare young people for work after graduation. The more realistic the school training, the better prepared they will be. There are three typing classes. One office practice, one bookkeeping, and one shorthand, each consisting of junior and senior students. General business, a sophomore course, is an introduction to business. Dan Mendoza and Richard Myers agree that the adding machine is a big help in adding those long columns of figures for bookkeeping. Jane Grimn and Marilyn Christener file library cards in Secretary training class. Mrs. Archbold explains to Bernice Yager the right way to place the book while typing. This is just one new habit that typing I classes learn. m m have tan DRUMS — Barbara Arnold, Cecilia Lehman, Gyneth Schnepp, Carol Helmrich, Diane Arnold, and Lois Steury.

Blasts of the trumpets, the mellow sounds of the wood winds, and the clang of the cymbals—all blended to form the Adams Central High Senior Band, under the direction of Don Gerig. Performing intricate marching rou¬ tines at the home basketball games was only one of many activities in which this organization participated. They also marched in several parades and played in a few concerts. Climaxing the season was the Spring Music Festival in which all of Central’s musical organizations par¬ ticipated. Marching at the head of the band for the first time this year was Jeanne Smith, drum majorette. The high step¬ ping twirler was judged to have given the best performance of twirlers on two marching occasions.

The 60-member body also competed in several contests. Choristers Kept Busy with Contests, BOYS’ QUARTET — Tim Ringger, Larry Foreman, Jim Hoffman, and Larry Decker, accompanied by Onalee Barkley. Headed by Leon Gerig, Central’s chorus has sung in several programs this year. The chief aim of the group was to rate a superior at the Greentown Vocal Contest held at Greentown, Indiana. In previous years the chorus has managed to rate excellent every time, but has never yet been “superior.” Other highlights for the 60-voice group included the County Music Festival, several school appear¬ ances, and church concerts climaxed by the Spring Music Festival. GIRLS’ TRIO — Doris Bluhm, Barbara Arnold, and Barbara Steiner, accompanied by Alice Beer. GIRLS’ QUARTET — Wanda Neuenschwander, Marcia Merriman, Chloe Neuenschwander, and Inez Merriman. s THE JUNIOR HIGH CHORUS exhibited their singing ability at PTA meetings, ball games, and at various other organizations.

Bucking all obstacles in the Senior Class Play “Our Miss Brooks,” Miss Brooks, played by Marilou Uhrick, succeeded in staging the “play within the play.” Throughout the play she had quarrels and love scenes with the coach, cast bv Winston Lister. Jane and Ted, played by Chloe Neuenschwander and Murl Yoder, also had their troubles. The play was livened by the antics of the youthful actors. During the production, it was forgotten that it had to be postponed several times as a result of flu-itis. November 14 was the evening Miss Imogene Beihold, director, and the student body relaxed after the final cur¬ tain was pulled. Dress rehearsal, held the night before the play, saw Marilyn Christener, Jerry Beard, Rog Haw¬ kins, Jane Grimm and Pat Liechty waiting in line for make-up. The roar of an airplane, thunder, and a blizzard were homemade sound effects produced by Miss Brooks, Mari¬ lou Uhrick, and the teenagers. Tryouts, Rehearsals, Opening Night 24 Is there a doctor in the house was asked in “Reserve Two For Murder” on April 10. It all began with a shot in the dark, the corpse lying on the floor, and a riotous mix-up. Winston Lister is a New York police officer who is more than con¬ fused as to who is guilty. Rolland Zim¬ merman, his Chinese detective side-kick, comes up with all the answers. One murder was not enough! Mae Christener took a trip to the mortuary. Then Jane Grimm was struck on the head. After accusing almost everyone in the theater, Winston finds, that the one least suspected is guilty. Barbara Steiner goes down fighting, though, shooting Rollie in the chest. His book of proverbs saves him; and “Crime does not pay” proves true again. JUNIOR PLAY CAST —R. Zimmerman, J. Snyder, M. Uhrick, J. Beard, R. Myers, J. Bovine, J. Grimm, M. Christener, M.

Cen-Trails Records The soft snow particles mounting into drifts. . .the moaning of the wind in the chimneys. . . but inside— clacking typewriters. . . hoarse shouts of copy, layouts, and deadlines. . .grease pencil smudges. . .cluttered desks... familiar sights to the Cen-Trails staff of 1958. Shouts, laughter, and often frustration characterized the entire staff as the respective deadlines approached. Editor Ned Stucky and assistant editor Wanda Neu- enschwander brought many ideas from two weeks summer schooling at Indiana University. Ned received second place award for his yearbook dummy and a citizenship award. New sponsor Mr. Shoup, became familiar with the annual mechanics and advised us in our work. Photographers Murl Yoder, David Haugh, and Evan Yoder check their equipment. Mr. Shoup, Adviser, Wanda Neuenschwander, Asst.

Rush-Rush-Rush Is the The Greyhound Gazette, in its sixth year of serving Central, met 36 deadlines in the 1957-58 season. T he newsroom was never idle a moment as the busy Gazetteers worked hard to reach the weekly deadlines for four pages. Pictures were featured from time to time. The Greyhound Gazette is a mem¬ ber of the Quill and Scroll and Indiana High School Press Association. The Gazette helped to send its editor, Shirley Osterman, to Indiana University’s Journalism Institute, for two weeks during the summer. Shirley learned much about Journalism and received two awards for outstanding work—a second place for best featurette and honorable mention in beginning newswriting. Yearly subscriptions totaled 225. Issues were sent to 40 other high school newspapers in Indiana and Ohio. 28 Doveanna Nussbaum assigns stories to Karen Stultz, Barbara Sommer, Dixie Smith, Marilou Uhrick, and Ron Maines.

After practicing shooting on their 50 foot indoor range, the rifle bearers readied themselves for shooting meets in the spring. Being a member of the National Rifle Association, the Rifle Club exercised safety precautions with guns. The club was divided into two groups: the Senior group, using four different shooting positions, and the Freshman group, taking the beginner’s course. Eb 33 Solving difficult problems, mak¬ ing constructions and mobiles, experi¬ menting with figures and angles, and playing mathematical games were en¬ joyed by the math fiends of A.C.H.S. Educational films were shown, and businessmen related their jobs so that the members could be acquainted with different vocations. To become a member of the Math Club, a freshman must have carried an A average for the first semester. The other members must be a major or minor in math. The accomplishments of the Math Club were difficult but very enjoyable.

The Adams Central FFA has been or¬ ganized for 8 years. Mr. Watson has been our advisor for the last six years. There are forty- eight active members in the Chapter. Some of the activities our chapter has participated in the past year are as follows: County, District and State Crops judging contest. County and District—Land, Poultry, Livestock, Entomology, and Forestry Judging Contests. We have social activities such as the FFA and Rekamemoh party, basketball and softball games, radio and T.V. programs, and Father and Son Banquet. The Chapter put on its sixth Annual Thanksgiving Program. Sixteen baskets were filled with food for needy families in the school district. This is the first year that we have a farm shop in our program, and the boys are using time and energy to build up a good shop. Baskets of food filled by the student body were distributed by the FFA after the An¬ nual Thanksgiving program. Richard Myers cultivates the corn that he planted for his project. F. F. A.

Five of Central’s opponents captured tournies in their respective counties. Another won a four way holiday tournament. At the beginning of the season Cable was faced with a complete rebuilding job. Only one senior had returned from the previous year’s squad. Six boys had never seen action on the first team and the three remaining had very little varsity experience. Although the team had an average height greater than in past years, the rest of the county teams were taller, too. Midway in the season the Greyhounds found themselves on the bad end of a 9-2 record.
