Calumet High School - Chieftain Yearbook (Gary, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 176 of the 1961 volume:

Each Year At Calumet Calumet High School Gary, Indiana presents The 1961 Chieftain We begin each year at Calumet with new hopes and new friends, and look forward to the future while never for- getting the past. Beginning the year, we think of the many things we have to look forward to. The activities which will take place during the year, the subjects which will take so much of our time and the clubs we will join, and of course the more we join, the more there is to do. We look forward to sports, a big part of the school year, and hope that our team does even better than our preceding teams. The administration and faculty will be a constant re- minder of our years in high school and will probably bring a number of fond memories. Now that the year is over, we will think back and never forget the wonderful year of 1961, and of the joys and tears that will live with us forever. - 2 - Academics Page 4 Clubs Page 22 Sports Page 54 Classmates Page 68 Student Life Page 120 Advertisements Page 134 - 4 - “Readin, rightin, and now recitin ' ’, could describe a his- tory class. Here Mike McBride is caught in the act of the latter. Concentration seemed to capture the mood of John Simms as he studies about the Holy Roman Empire in World History. History Covers Events Sandy Koedyker offers her assistance to Doris Krone, as she illustrates a historical location. - 6 - From Cavemen To Presidents And here’s where we are” says Jackie Sanders to Freddie Mae Brock and Kay Matiak, as they locate the Chicago area in U. S. History class. “In the beginning God created Heaven and earth” and ever since then, peo- ple have been trying to find out more and more about the world. When did Columbus discover the new continent, where was the cradle of civilization, and what tempted Bal- boa to search for the Pacific? The aim of the world history class is to answer these ques- tions and many more. United States history better acquaints us with our own nation. “Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation” As American students, we are given the opportunity to learn all we can about the facts pertaining to the growth and history of our new nation. Conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” Our government and economics classes brief us on the way it was established. We are taught how to solve various economic prob- lems that may arise in our future “That this government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from this earth.” Mr. Traicoff lays the law down —the economic law that is— to one of his Economics classes. Leonard Sajda, delivers one of the many oral book reports re- quired in College English class. Double, double, toil, and trouble, ” a scene from Macbeth, is portrayed by, Susan Griggs, Emma Kennedy, JoAnn Murphy and Marrilee Poortinga in a College English class. English Important Once again the task of issuing books as school starts. Mrs. Kingery, English teacher, issues a book to Gordon Ligocki as Dick Jackson glances through one. - 8 - Daily practice in diagraming sentences helps the student mas- ter the English language. Janice Piper, Ron Egner, and De- lores Pluta are shown proving this. Library facilities play an important part in term papers for C.H.S. students. Linda Caldwell is just one of the many who use the library. In All Phases Of life. Intelligent usage of the English language stems from a correct understanding of it’s parts. Verb tenses, studied above by Har- lan Swift, is just one of the many parts needed. Want to succeed in life? Take your English course seriously. The success of your career may rest a great deal on your knowledge of the English language and in a career such as law, politics, or teaching, English plays an important part. To have a good background and under- standing of the English language opens the door to many new worlds. How could the study ol history, drama, or the great classics by Shake- speare and Dickens come alive without English? During the course of the year, our studies in English include: the composition of interest- ing paragraphs, short stories, and essays, and the reading of poems, and classics by the worlds greatest authors. No matter what you do or where you go, English is there. Take your English course seriously. - 9 - It just takes a little know how to perform a chemistry experiment, and Frankie Wells and Jackie Sanders have the know how. Science Deals With Dissecting a frog is tedious work but Steve Cibak, Rose Mary Pad- ron, and Dennis House seem to have the situation well in hand. John Sankowski prepares to heat the contents of the test tube as Julie Kalinowicz and Mike Hicks looks on to record the re- action. 10 - The Many Wonders Of The World Sheila Martinez studies the samples of sawdust, cake and sand while preparing her assignment in general science. Cape Canavaral won’t have to worry as long as high schools, such as Calumet, keep instructing prospective scientists through its adequate sci- ence departments. Our curriculum of science courses which offers general science, chemistry, biology and physics is complete enough to give students a sufficient knowledge of the subject. The scientific minded student begins his first year by enrolling in biology, the study of plants and animals or general science, which deals in a general study of the subject. A secondary step is chemistry, in which stu- dents obtain the basic concepts of organic and in- organic chemistry, often, very often, by perform- ing experiments. The ambitious student goes even one step further and investigates his surroundings, by studying matter and energy, the two basic sub- stances in life. Jeanie Crowe is just one of the many science students who demonstrates inertia. Don Hamilton and Ronnie Furgye consult the reference books for information in general science. Math Is The “Now, this is the top of a dissectable cone”. Roseann Scheus- ter explains this to the rest of the class during a demonstra- tion in solid geometry class. If a preamble to a mathematical constitu- tion were to be written perhaps it would read as such: “We hold this truth to be self-evident, that mathematics is the science dealing with the measurement, properties and relationships of quantities.” Even though we do not possess such a con- stitution at Calumet, we do offer the following subjects: Algebra, which deals with literal numbers, symbols and equations, or general math which deals with practical story problems, is offered the first year. Those who wish to increase their knowledge in the field of mathematics may enroll in plane geometry, which deals with the reasoning of two- dimensional figures; advanced algebra, which covers such things as square roots and quadrat- ic equations; solid geometry, which deals with the reasoning of three-dimensional figures and trigonometry, which is an accumulation of other forms of math. Barbara Cederoth has just finished working and explaining this trigometric function in a senior trigonometry class. - 12 - Science Dealing With Many Things Math, math, math. Algebra seems to be the hard subject for Marion Urycki who obtains help from Tommy Wilson. After completing their daily lesson, Don Waters, Mary Ann Ivanich, Linda Hadady, and Raeann Summers take advantage of their study time. Confused?” Not trying to confuse anyone, Allen Kallas draws a complicated triangle in geometry class. 13 Homework is a controversial subject, but it’s a necessity in Algebra. Janice Bauske and Larry Huddleston pass up their required homework. Because the emphasis on physical fitness has become increasingly important in the American high school curriculum, Calumet High School students are required to take at least one year of physical education. The principle purpose of the course is to at- tain the daily exercise needed to build a healthy and active body. In the classes, the students learn to do many exercises and participate in many sports. Among these are: hand stand, tumbling, push-ups, hand springs, kickball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and German batball. Sportsmanship is very essential in any acti- vity or sport, for this reason the students are taught to be good losers and fair players. Performing an acrobatic feat of standing on his head is Jim Carri- gan who is assisted by Tim Hiddle. P.E. And Health And Safety In the process of a successful hand stand in gym class is Rich- ard Layman. Line Soccer is the game played by Linda Wheetley and Mar- tha Kruk. Becky Helton and Archie Sanders find it funny to study the internal anatomy of a human. Aids In Building Bodies Ron Egener begins to study a microbe as Jo Ellen Wright ex- plains its many structures. “Live and let live” is an old saying. To- day it is a new fact that it is much easier to do so— as the death rates goes down, down, down, so says our Health and Safety teachers. Our health and safety classes are com- posed of two obvious divisions: first, health, and second, safety. The anatomy of the body is studied care- fully including the intricate divisions of cells, organs, and systems. It covers the nervous system, the digestive, glandular, and others. Besides keeping our body strong and healthy, it is also necessary to be able to live — whether driving, sleeping, or plugging the iron in with- out endangering our lives by negligence of basic safety rules. These we try to commit to memory. But more important than just learn- ing them-we apply them to our lives. At the same time, we are observing that old saying “Live and let live”. - 15 - Creative Thinking, Demonstrating the use of one of the sewing machines is Mrs. Schmidt, who shows Jean Drake the proper way to hold material. “Boy, that fudge was good”! That’s what one might hear when passing the Home Eco- nomics room on days when the girls are cook- ing. All classes have a cooking day once a week when the girls make something in their “little kitchens”. This prepares the girls for the time when they will have to keep house and do the cook- ing someday. They are shown ways of bud- geting food money, recognizing good buys, how to plan well balanced meals, and how to prepare a variety in all meals. Along with cooking, these girls learn how to sew. They learn the different types of fabrics, the quality of material, color schemes, neat- ness, proper use of the sewing machines, the differences in patterns, and obtain practice at sewing, by making blouses, dresses, and skirts. Yes, these girls are trained today to be the homemakers of tomorrow. Mmmmm, this potato soup is just right. Suzette Sconiers stirs her tasty soup which she made in Home Ec. Class. - 16 - Specialty Of Home Ec. And Shop Classes “Industry builds America,” and at Calu- met High School the students are able to learn the fundamentals and how to use ma- chinery, which is the basis of industry. This is offered through the industrial arts program. The program contains wood and metal shop classes, and the preliminary of the two, mechanical drawing. They are instructed on how to use and apply their skill and the machines in produc- ing a product. But, safety is the point most stressed. Mechanical drawing, the pre-basis to ma- chine working, is also offered to students of Calumet High School. It confronts them with the language of industry and the art of draft- ing an image of what will be the outcome of their skill. The industrial arts program is offered to the students as a means to devlop their men- tal capacities to co-ordinate with their physi- cal abilities, and may help them later in their chosen profession. Being skilled in running machinery is a basic necessity in metal shop, as Tom Cook proves, while running milling machinery in Met- al Shop. Manual Lazono uses his tri-square to achieve a precision draw- ing in mechanical drawing class. No project is complete without being assembled. James Thompson and Mike Baker assemble their lawn furniture. - 17 - Business Courses Prepare Carole Prasnikar realizes that time is an important factor especially in the dictation of short- hand. She must be fast and accurate in order to receive a passing grade. Gary Mantz offers his assistance to Kathy Hornbeak on a difficult business law exercise. That’s co-opera- tion. Pat Timm uses the adding machine as she puts her acquired book- keeping skills to use. - 18 - For Commercial Life. In order to keep up with the rapid pace of the business world, a wide and varied commer- cial program is offered to those students inter- ested in developing business functions which they may put to use efficiently and economical- ly- This commercial program consists of: gen- eral business, which stresses money and credit problems and the responsibilities of the salesman; business arithmetic, which enables students to better understand the law one lives by; secre- tarial training, a course in which students work under actual office conditions; bookkeeping, which teaches how to maintain neat and accu- rate records; personal typing, which teaches the basic fundamentals to those wanting to type for their own personal reasons; and two years of shorthand and typing both of which are con- cerned with the basic fundamentals in the first year and with rapid transcription and accuracy in the second. Students at Calumet are offered all of the above courses which provides them with excel- lent opportunities to obtain business training. Alphabetical order is what is requested and Janet Charbonneau wants to do her best at it. Just what I wanted. And naturally be- cause as a result of his salesmanship course Avon Shepard wants to please. - 19 - Everyday the world becomes smaller- lit- erally that is. Yesterday it caused much excite- ment to go to Grandma’s house for the summer whereas today a large number of vacationing fam- ilies go north to Canada or south to Latin Ameri- can countries, giving language students a chance to make use of their knowledge by first hand ex- perience. Today a foreign language helps us to advance farther in our native tongue and opens the door to many career opportunities, making it no longer a luxury but something very useful. To meet the varied needs and demands of today, our curriculum includes two years each of Spanish, French, and Latin. In these classes we learn word origins, often used foreign expressions, and the correct usage of these. Also we have lots of enjoyment learning about the many different ideas, and customs of foreign countries and comparing them to our own. Even though our language classes are de- manding, we usually find them very rewarding. Subjects Accented By These Latin students are deeply engrossed in the language of Jul- ius Caesar time. They find it very easy to imagine that they are in Ancient Rome. Graeme Thickens and Jahlena Fulton combine their efforts in making a map of “Rive Droite” and “Rive Gauche . - 20 - Because the art classes use black printing the method of use must be well known by all students. Shown is Harold In the midst of demonstrating the “silk screen” process for art Kretschmar demonstrating this method, class are: Julie Kaliaowicz and Joe Hisick. Art, And Languages. Traditional Christmas carols were heard by all who attended the Christmas program sponsored by the Chorus Department. Two of the most enjoyable courses offer- ed at Calumet are Music and Art. They give the students a chance to dis- play his natural and developed talents. The Music department, which consists of the band and choral groups, practice many hours and the evidence of this practice is brought to light during the Spring and Christ- mas festivals presented every year. Throughout the course of the school year, the art students learn dimension, reality, and depth by drawing sketches in ink and using the silk screen method of stencils. They learn and use the different techni- ques used in the various styles and forms of art, and the methods of bringing life to the drawings and paintings which are made. The art students enter a drawing contest each year. The drawings made by the win- ning student is used in an advertisement and the student receives a $25 savings bond. - 21 - PLAYERS Clubs Amid all the hustle and bustle of our re- gular school activities, we take one hour out of our schedule each week and devote our time to various organizatio ns. In this hour we discuss the purposes and goals of our organi- zation and how to attain our aspirations. The highlights of the year is a planned activity, usually a trip taken at the end of the year. Being an active member of a club gives I our students the experience and association with society that they need to become well- rounded citizens interested in their commun-| ity ' B - .1 7! I Student Council Is School spirit is an important asset of student life. Caught in the act of developing it are: Carolyn Duke, Nancy Haussman, Karen Haussman, Janette Ralph, Paulette Kolarik, and Edna Leaf. Discussing student council business are Sherra Wilt and Rose ann Schuster as Mrs. Cooke, advisor looks on. YOU CAM SHOW J YOU II SCHOOL SPIRIT HY: CL£� R All RETUSI EROH T HI TABLES C.

This is the purpose of the school spirit committee, which strives to improve the school grounds. School Governing Body. Making a point of order is Larry Berdine, Student Council president, checking his motion is Larry Simpson, vice president; keeping a record of all these activities is Kay Daniels, secretary, and Susan Griggs completes her treasurer ' s report. In all free and democratic societies, the cit- izenry have a hand in their government. So it is at Calumet High School. With a student enroll- ment of approximately 1,125, there is a definite need for a student led organization which will function much as the state and federal govern- ments do. Thus we have formed the Student Council, which is our governing body. The Student Council is in charge of all stu- dent assemblies, school and class elections, school spirit programs, the maintenance of our juke-box, the polio drive, and numerous other activities. The representatives to the Student Council are selected through class elections, and an auto- matic appointment of all class and club presi- dents. This year we have a membership of 55 re- presentatives. These representatives have a very high and important position in the school realm so it is an honor to be a member of the Student Council. The chairmen of the assembly committee is an important position. Pictured are Peter Staresnick and Roseann Schuster who are co- chairmen of the Student Council Assembly Committee. - 25 - In th e capable hands of John Williams, Margaret Johnson, Mike McBride, Nancy Anderson, and Ron Selberg, are the responsibilities and activities of the Jr. Honor Society. Developing Character Is The Underclass “brains’ ' participate in the discussion of the old and new business of the Jr. Honor Society meeting. Listening to the motion on the floor during a discussion in the Sr. Hon- or Society are: Richard Frye, David Hochstetler, Gordon Ligocki, How- ard Godfrey, and Terry Taylor. - 26 - Listening to the business of the Sr. Honor Society during a meeting are the junior and senior members. Goal Of C.H.S. Honor Societies. Officers, Roseann Schuster, president; Shirley Berdine, vice-presi- dent; Sharon Mason, treasurer; Gordon Ligocki, reporter; and not shown Bernadette Zenone, secretary; call the meeting to order. The object of the Ora C. Strycker chapter of the National Honor Society is to create an en- thusiasm for scholarships, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership and to encourage the development of character in the students of Calumet High School. Membership is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character, and an “A” or “B” in all subjects must be maintained. Any member who fell below the required standards was warn- ed and given a second chance. If, during the next nine weeks the member failed to meet the stand- ards, the Faculty Council voted and decided whether or not the member was to be dismissed. The Junior Honor Society, for eligible fresh- men and sophomores, sold Christmas candy for a scholarship for the senior who the members thought most worthy. The Senior Honor Society, for juniors and seniors, sold pennants and candy for their trea- sury. - 27 - “61” Staff Works Hard “Roll the press!” is a newspaper phrase that rings in the ears of the newspaper staff on the days of ‘The Warrior ' publication. It’s one of the many phrases that will haunt these staff mem- bers the rest of their lives. It takes a lot of talent and hard work to put out a school paper and these students prove it. They can always be seen with notebook and pen- cil in hand, busily getting a story, madly typing away, proof reading, retyping or trying to meet the deadline. Then they have to lay out the paper, page by page, write all cutlines, figure out the headlines, and finally “put the paper to bed” which means a whole day spent at the printers, then distributing them to all classes. But when the hard work is done and the last paper is dis- tributed, they sit back, kick off their shoes and relax until the editor yells “get that story, now”, and all is back to normal— confusion and hard work prevails once more. “The paper must go to press! And to make sure it does Jackie White, editor of the Warrior, works hard to meet her dead- lines. “One, two, three,”— that ' s what might be heard from Mona Valencia as she counts the units of a headline for “The Warrior.” Fashions, fashions, fashions! The girls at Calumet are quite inter- ested in fashions and thus JoAnn Murphy, fashion editor, must spend much time and hard work on the column. To Top “60” Record. Besides obtaining the advertisement from neighborhood busi- nesses, Elizabeth Wright, business manager, also sees that the layouts are not only correct but also where they will be most attractive. The greatest responsibility of a staff member is to meet the deadlines. Busily typing their stories for the paper are Venia Hatmaker and Brenda Scott, reporters. Joyce Nagy and Sandy Guthrie realize that two heads are better than one when it comes to writing newspaper copy. Machines as the typewriter and telephone are important in the process of any paper, as Irene Golden, feature editor; and Sandy Chancellor, news bureau editor demostrate. Correct operation of all photography equipment is essential for a photographer. Bill Shuey and Jim Conley, staff photo- graphers, test all equipment. - 29 - “With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent service in making my community a safer and more beauti- ful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and complete.” The preceding is the creed accepted by the girls in the Sunshine Society not only at Calu- met, but in all the high schools in Indiana. In addition to the creed, the 60-61 members of the society accepted this years theme, “Sunshine soars in the sixties.” And such an appropriate theme it is. The Sunshine girls at Calumet have co- operated in helping those less fortunate than themselves throughout the year, sponsoring a king and queen campaign to raise money for the annual polio drive, and offering a $400 scholar- ship to a senior girl planning to go into nursing. Surely the girls have fulfilled their theme and their motto which is “others”. Discussing some new activities for the Sunshine Society to perform in future months are the officers: Susan Suchar, secretary; Barbara Lockhart, treasurer; Janet Harms, vice-president; and Kathaleen Shaw, president. From Charitable Sunshine Sunshine Society Initiation was a big event to all the girl’s who joined at the beginning of the year. No doubt remembering their own installation just last year, these Sunshine girls induct other members into the club. - 30 - Fun, excitement, and refreshments were had by all who at- tended “Mardi Gras sponsored by G.A.A. G.A.A., the most popular girls club in the school is run by Jan- ice Book, president; Carole Prasnickar, Sandy Chancellor and Peggy Kennedy. To Athletic G.A.A. “Your number will be 24” says Mona Valencia, coat room attendant, to Karen Haussman as she checks her coat at one of the basketball games. Confetti, singing, dancing, balloons, stream- ers, masks, and a “swell” instrumental group were among many of the things that contributed to the big success of “Mardi Gras”, the years theme for the traditional G.A.A. semi-formal dance. Honors go to the senior class decorating committeee, who was accredited with having one of the best semi-formal dances ever. But G.A.A. is not all social. Every Monday afternoon the members meet to participate in the seasons activities. In addition to the after school activities, the club has gone roller skating, swimming, and bowling. The club had a picnic in the fall and was also responsible for decorating the Christmas tree in the main entrance. The first and most important of the more formal meetings is the formal initiation in which new members are inducted into the club. This is followed by the annual spring banquet where the girls receive the results of the election of of- ficers. - 31 - Thespians Present Drama Blocking the second scene of “The Glass Menagerie”--the second play of the year by the Calumet Players, is the cast: JoAnn Murphy, Dianne Nimetz, Jim Conley and Peter Stares- nick, and watching for errors is Dick Jackson, Ass ' t Director Receiving their final round of applause is the cast from “Kind Sir , a comedy presented in November. Preparing the sound and light equipment for best results for the play, “The Glass Menagerie , are Sherry Howell and Bill Shuey, light and sound crew. - 32 - And Comedy In ‘60-61’ “Good evening Mrs. Munson, what are you doing here?” Opening night and the o pening line of the first play for the year have much the same excitement and tenseness to them. Just as the players are excited over the first presentation of the year, so it is with the aud- ience. Calumet Players every year present two plays. “Kind Sir,” a comedy by Norman Krasna and “The Glass Menagerie”, a drama by Tennes- see Williams, were chosen for this years produc- tions. “The Glass Menagerie”, was a first at Cal- umet because it was performed in the round. The plays are under the direction of Roy Chapman and an assistant director chosen from the club members. Anyone belonging to the club may try out for the plays, and the remaining members are assigned to jobs on any one of the crews. The second annual Drama Festival is also a production sponsored by the Calumet Players, which is held in the latter part of the year. Presenting the director, Mr. Roy Chapman with a gift of ap- preciation from the cast and crews is a traditional event of the Calumet Players. Filled with fright, excitement, and many memorized lines, Peter Staresnick, Dianne Nimetz, and Dick Jackson wait in the wings for their cues in the play “Kind Sir”. Not only the cast, but the crew also makes either the success or failure of a play. Busily working are Ted Harris, Gordon Ligocki, Connie Stillabower, and Sherry Howell. - 33 - F.T.A. And Music Club “To foster a sincere interest in the many fields of teaching” is the underlying purpose of the Future Teachers of America. The members of this club discuss the dif- ferent types of teaching possibilities that are open to the average teacher. The field of teaching is not in anyway limited to teaching in grade or high schools. There is the administrative level in which the teacher heads the teaching staff. The teach- ing of the handicapped or retarded children is also a very useful and rewarding job. An- other area of teaching is the missionary field where teachers are desperately needed. The club officers are: Peter Staresnick, president; JoAnn Murphy, vice-president; Lonnie Bewick, treasurer; and Robbie Nidel- choff, secretary. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Wojcik and Mr. McCall. Planning the next F.T.A. meeting are Barbara Ollis, a member of the club, and JoAnn Murphy, vice-president of the club. Officers of the Future Teachers of America are: Peter Staresnick, pres- ident; JoAnn Murphy, vice-president; Robbie Nidelchoff, secretary; and Lonnie Bewick, treasurer. Provides A Service At Calumet Good music listening is a popular pastime with many of Cal- umet’s students. Nancy Warchus, Sharon Nichols, and Mere- dith Wycoff look over record albums while in Music Club. Barbara Tall, president of the Music Club, plays the album from “South Pacific” a Broadway musical. Each year, more and more progress is being made at Calumet, either through curriculum, sports, or school activities. This year was no ex- ception, for a new club joined the list of others at C.H.S. Since music is the universal language, man has come to know and enjoy the music of far off places as well as that from his own home town. The students of C.H.S. also have come to enjoy the music of many distant lands just as they know and enjoy the music in the United States. But just knowing and enjoying the music is not enough; one, if interested, appreciates music and broadens his knowledge and interest of dif- fe rent styles, types, and origins of music, thus, with this idea in mind, the Music Club was creat- ed. It is composed of juniors and seniors and it has as its officers a president and a secretary. There is also a committee which meets to decide the music to be played at the next meeting and makes the arrangements for the records. The members of the committee are changed every third meeting. - 35 - Checking the oil of their cars is an important function a member of Driver ' s Club must perform. Working on his car is Larry Barnes, pres; assisted by Terry Bollett, treas; and Sondra Marsh, sec. Good driving habits are essential to the members of Driver’s Club. Exercising these qualities is Avon Shephard. Key— Secret Of Organized to co-ordinate and control the privileges of the students who drive to school, the Driver’s Club is one of the most important inter- school clubs. This group is responsible for the actions of all the students who drive and park in the school parking lot. The club has set up various rules concern- ing the rights and privileges of those who drive to school. Some of the activities pursued by the club are: taking care of the parking lot and its equip- men, disciplining all of the motorists who break the rules of courtesy and safety while on school grounds, and also making sure that all of the stu- dents driving to school are safe and sane motor- ists. To be a member of this club the applicant must have a C average, and must be registered as an authorized driver and student. This organization is sponsored by Mr. Max Hile. The officers are: Larry Barnes, president, and Terry Bollet, vice-president, and Sondra Marsh secretary, and treasurer. As under officers of Driver’s Club, Charles Estes and Larry Modglin are required to know the procedure of the meetings as well as functions and duties of an officer and member. - 36 - Even though Univac is now becoming busier everyday in the offices of the business world sec- retarial jobs still make up a major portion of the various occupations of young women. Here at Calumet we find that a large num- ber of the career-minded girls are more than wil- ling to fill these jobs. These girls take courses including two years typing, shorthand also bookkeeping and secretar- ial training, and then to add the finishing touches and to round off their knowledge of their future occupation---The Secretarial Club was formed. Yearly they award the amount of one hun- dred dollars to the most promising secretary. They also invite speakers, show films, which bring out the many facts of the field. Activities which are pure enjoyment are needed and to fill this need, an annual dance and banquet become festive occasions looked forward to with anticipation. Altogether this is one of the most interest- ing and refreshing of our organizations. Completing the attendance sheets for the day is Rita Ennis, office assistant. She is a member of Secretarial Club and is also an office assistant. A Good Driver Or Secretary. Pat Porter, member of the Secretarial Club, which pro- vide secretaries for the school’s teachers, checks out some information for Mr. Steve Bjelich, her boss! - 37 Home Ec., F.H.A. Seek From the looks in her eyes-Sheryle Harms is already debating whether to stay in F.H.A. or not. Giving her the treatment are Bar- bara Maynard and Karen King. There are many goals set up by the Future Homemakers of America, a nationally affiliated organization of girls interested in the home eco- nomics world. Among these are: preparing young girls to be efficient homemakers, learning to help others, to further interest in the field of home economics, and to contribute to the betterment of the student body. Since financial support is needed to acquire such goals, the girls sponsor their very successful taffy apple sales during both lunch hours, as well as other money making projects. This year the Homemakers joined with the Sunshine Society to spread good will to those in the community by making Christmas baskets containing necessary food and clothing for the families and toys to make the season more enjoy- able for the youngsters. The club also requested that the entire student body participate in the program. Many of these projects were completed dur- ing after school get-togethers and other such times. Betty O’Hearn, Donna Bargfeldt, Jahlena Fulton, Dorothy Pelke, and Marcia Hunt add a bit of humor to the Homemak- ing Club induction. To Better Homemaking Soft lights, pretty ladies and beautiful decorations are combined to make the Homemaking induction pleasant and enjoyable for Jahlena Fulton, Jewell Gam- bill, Brenda Scott, Sherry Howell, and Jayne Bradley. Bringing cheer to the needy family of the area are the Christ- mas Cheer Baskets made by the Homemaking Club and are packed by Sherry Howell and Brenda Scott. Calumet Band - 40 - A Cappella, Choral Clubs, “Lovers of Music”, the chorus group practices daily and energetically so that their music- may be enjoyable as well as entertaining to all people. He is good and handsome”. The Madrigal Singers might very well be singing of their Director Wm. Hall as they practice a song of the 16 th Century. Carrying the responsibility of the music department are the A Cap- pella officers: Pat Coulitsis, secretary; Janet Charbonneau, assistant secretary; Marsha Wroblewski, treasurer; Ted Harris, president; and Pat Urycki. - 42 - Productive During 60-61 New members to the music department start in the Beginning Chorus, which is com- posed of freshmen and sophomores. The sound of gentle notes, rich harmony, and velvet voices may be heard softly flowing from the cho- rus room any hour of the day when the Chorus Department is trying out new songs for their numerous engagements. There is never too much prac- tice for this group which consists of The Warrior Choral Club, which is the freshmen club, the Girl’s Glee Club, and the A Cappella, which is composed of seniors, juniors, and sophomores. The largest group of the Choral Department, the A Cap- pella is a select group of the better students. They do many concerts throughout the year as well as the Winter Concert and Spring Festi- val at Calumet. The appreciation of music is the major object of the Chorus De- partment which provides the op- portunity of improving the talent and developing it. This year the de- partment is under the direction of Mr. William Hall. ' K Feminity in music. The all girls chorus adds some luster to the music department as they practice their songs. Accurate and daily checks on student absentees makes for a well informed and smoothly run office. Checking Absentee slips are Kathy Shaw and Joan Klimek Two very popular persons with the students during the lunch hours are Elaine Volk and Carol Casmus, attendents of the ice cream counter. Students Prove Ambitious Sponsored by the Jr. Honor Society, the candy booth at lunch hours is a busy place when students buy candy from Steven Isen and Kevin Mahoney. Dave Alvarado and Ken O’Deen put up the insert to the main bulletin board as part of the student services. - 44 Much appreciation and recognition is obtain- ed by the students through their services render- ed to the school, the student body, and the fac- ulty. The essential school supplies may be pur- chased at the bookstore before school begins every morning. The bookstore is managed by a student chosen because of previous experience in the bookstore. The members of the Junior Honor Society are in charge of the candy store which is open during both lunch hours. Another important job is performed by the library assistants, who are in charge of the af- fairs of the library; checking books, and making sure they are returned on time. The Student Services Program was organ- ized by the Student Council for the benefit and pleasure of the students; that is the apparent rea- son for its success. Carolyn Kelley and Gene Jones keep an up-to-date card catalogue in our library. In Student Services One necessity of great importance to a high school student is the school supplies sold daily in the office. Louise Strayer offers her services to as student buyer. - 45 - Around The World With Glancing through some of the books that recently arrived in Tabs are Pat Guess, Bonnie Harrison, and Marilyn Walden. Someone has to be responsible for taking care of the books in Tabs and the photographer found this someone to be James Clark. Teen-Age Book Club’s chief purpose is to make it possible for students to obtain books needed for class assignments and for just plain ol pleasure. Books are useful objects in school and often they prove indispensable. They cause us a lot of work and bother at school and yet students are often found bent over a book in the library or at home. Many students find that the type of books they desire are not to be found in the school li- brary and so TABS do a thriving business. The books they sell are of the paper-backed type and usually aren’t condensed. They are pro- cured from a company which specializes in teen books. Altogether this club performs a great ser- vice for the purchasers and also make money for their treasury. Checking and distributing books is quite a task. Sherra Wilt, James Clark, Pam Thickens, Sandra Christoff, and Delores Pellide do then- best to be efficient. Tabs And Languages ULUk Four heads are better than one when it comes to planning the activities of Pan Am. The four officers are: Barbara Tall, vice- president; Gordon Ligocki, president; Jackie Sanders, secre- tary; and Harold Kirk treasurer. Leading the Latin Club activities are Terry Taylor, president; Ed Mahoney, vice-president; Joanne Kelley, secretary; and Madeline Whitmore, treasurer. To raise money for the French Club treasury, the members sold stationary. In charge of the project are Roy Bennett and Donna Stassin. Interest in foreign languages has resulted in the formation of various language clubs in extra- curricular activities. The students may broaden these interests in Latin Club, Cerle Francais or Pan Am. Pan Am’s objective is to become better ac- quainted with Spanish culture. Several activities were planned other than their Christmas party, the printing of their newspaper and the enjoy- ment of Spanish records during meetings. For those students interested in French, Cerle Francais is the thing. The club, which pro- motes greater interest in its language by planning its activities in French style, sponsored a sock- hop and sold stationary to raise this years funds. Togas are the “fad” in Latin Club. This year the recently organized club was able to purchase togas which were to be worn by the presiding of- ficers at the meetings. Among other things a bowling-pizza party was included in their activi- ties. - 47 - Varsity And Chemistry Club Sweaters are worn to show that they have won varsity letters. Sweater winners are: Front Row: A. Shephard, T. Andrews, L. Aranda, and J. Carrigan. Back Row: E. Mahoney, B. Jackson, D. Water, D. Alvarado, K. O’Deen, and R. Serrato. Varsity Club officers display the sport they represent. They are as follows: Bob Jackson, president; Larry Barnes, vice-president; Man- uel Lazono, secretary; and Avon Shephard. Among all the clubs at Calumet, the Varsity Club has one of the most active and productive memberships. Although the members of the club do not engage in their various activities directly through the club, they all have one thing in com- mon. They are all athletes. This is one of the most noble of all pursuits. For athletics is one of the oldest and most worthwhile of all activities a man can engage in. The ancient Greeks main- tained that a strong body as well as a strong mind was required of all people. To stimulate interest in the abilities of the body, and to promote good sportsmanship and competitiveness are the goals of the membership of the Varsity Club. The membership is actually composed of the letterwinners from each of the areas of athletic competition. All of these boys have passed the rigorous requirements demanded by our coaching staff. The enumerated organiza- tions included in the club are: football, basketball, baseball, track, cross-country, and golf. Mr. Richard Trcka, sponsor, is backed by the entire varsity club with members from every sport at Calumet High School. - 48 - Aid School In Many Ways Howard Godfrey and Larry Simpson are discussing an idea they have for the next meeting with Mr. Richards, the club sponsor. Officers of the Chemistry Club — Skip Becke, president; Dick Jackson, vice-president; Bernadette Zenone, secre- tary; and Mike Reigle, treasurer; and Perry Lively, in background, try to bring Chemistry to Calumet. Standard Oil, a chemists dream, became the goal of this years chemistry fans. The Chemistry Club was organized sev- eral years ago to unite students interested in the different fields of science but especially in chemistry. This year, the club made a tour of Standard Oil and they saw chemistry in action. Several speakers connected with science through industry and education gave talks and provided information and encouragement for promising careers in science. Films were shown and discussions took place. To put it in a nutshell this club’s purpose is to stimulate the student’s interest in sci- ence and if possible to further the knowledge of science and to keep him up to date so that when he graduates, his knowledge will be at his fingertips. Many of our students who hope to get ahead in their science studies, find this club an absolute must. Collecting the dues from Chemistry Club members is Mike Riegle, treasurer. Looking on are Leonard Berry, Mary Finney, and Jean Streeter. Monitors And Y.F.C Your pass, please? These familiar words sound through the halls of Calumet every hour of each day. They are the words one might hear if he were walking in the halls after the tardy bell. Checking pass, however, is not the only duty of a hall monitor. He also must keep those legal- ly in the halls quiet; he must deposit all trash in the proper facilities and make certain others do the same; he must stop anyone from going to his locker if not given proper permission. But above all he must set a good and impressing example for others. The job as a hall monitor is not a bed of roses. It requires an amount of patience, good citizenship and the ability to hold responsibility. This then is the life and worries of a hall monitor at Calumet. Responsible for the other hall monitors, Pat Schwartz, cap- tain; must keep a record sheet of the monitors and their posi- tions. To eliminate the locker trip between classes is one of the important duties of a hall monitor. Bob Jackson warns Kay Daniels of her offense. A hall monitor ' s duty doesn’t include just checking pass- es. Keeping the halls clean is another responsibility per- formed by Eileen Hollenbaugh. - 50 - Completes An Active Year. To further the interest and understanding of teenagers in the work of the Lord is the purpose of the organization of Youth for Christ. The members of YFC are active participants in such programs sponsored by YFC as the quiz team, rallies, and various speakers, all of which are interesting and entertaining. The quiz team has a membership of four students who travel to area rallies and compete against other groups to test their knowledge of the Bible. YFC rallies in- clude singing and guest speakers, who try to an- swer any questions which may arise in connection with the Bible. Area clergymen are invited to speak at the bi-weekly meetings of the club. Leading this active club are: Dorothy Pelke, president; Donna Bragfeldt, vice-president; Mary Lasser, secretary; and David Fidler, program chairman. Vaughn de Hansen, member of the YFC, takes time to catch up on her Bible reading. An interesting and well-organized meeting makes for an ambitious and enthused group. Planning this type of YFC meeting is the responsibility of the of- ficers: Dorothy Pelke, president; Donna Bragfeldt, vice-president; Mary Lasser, secretary; and David Fidler, program chairman. - 51 - Work, Worry, And Time Co-Editors of the 1961 Chieftain Checking advertisement and taking care of the financial end of the yearbook is Peter Staresnick, business manager. Beverly Ruzzini and Dianne Nimetz Because files are such an important necessity to the yearbook staff they must be kept neat and accurate, Jackie Nagy sees that this is done. - 52 - Produce Our Yearbook Barbara Ollis, finishes up a piece of copy while Carol Adams helps her correct all her mistakes. Four thousand, three hundred and twenty class hours, nine busy staff members, and a lot of hard work equal one good yearbook, which can be read in just one hour. There are many different types of jobs in- volved in composing a yearbook which the aver- age reader does not know about. Among these are: Photographer, who illustrates each year at Calumet with pictures worth a thousand words. After the picture is taken the Cutline Editor gives a thorough description of a picture in as few words as possible. Then the Copyreader, who has to have a good knowledge of grammer, cor- rects the mistakes in all written material. The re- sponsibility of the Advertising Manager is to see that we have the required amount of advertising needed to obtain sufficient funds to edit our year- book. The job of the Layout Editor is to lay-out the pages of the yearbook before it is sent to the factory. Last but not least are the editors, Dianne Nimetz and Beverly Ruzzini, the backbone of the yearbook, whose jobs are not one, but many. “Cutlines and more cutlines” might well be the expression heard from Janette Ralph, writing cutlines and Barbara Tall cutline edi- tor, pointing out corrections. T • u : m. iVr 1 ' rM F 1 m A % Ik W fL J Hf ’ W ? ■ T- ’ VW ■g| |llgg U -’ A r k A C- v Hi Sports Each year at Calumet our athletic organ- izations strive to produce teams that will pro- mote an understanding and a special interest in athletics. t Calumet, this year, has an evenly bal- nced sports program, ranging from golf to rugged football. Whether it’s playing the games, just viewing the action, or cheering the team on to victory. Everyone has a part in our athletic program. The following pages are an example of the 1960-61 athletic program. C.H.S. Gridders Secure The Warrior football varsity of 1960-61. First Row: L. Aranda, T. Howard, R. Hixon, H. Warrens, L. Barnes, J. Carrigan, A. Shephard, D. Alvarado, B. Steinhubel, M. Lazano, and Jerry Sibincic. Second Row: G. Blackburn, H. Godfrey, E. Hart, K. O’Deen, L. May, J. Poli- quin, J. Garcia, J. Hood, T. Davison, and L. Wall. Third Row: B. Woods, B. Miller, J. Simms, T. Berry, C. Bewick, M. Lewis, T. Cook, C. Hartsell, J. Roark, M. Young, R. Ander- son, R. Stroupe, R. Sanders, G. Frizzell, N. James and R. Sopher. “He ' s off and running ! This is very true as Dave Alvarado breaks loose for the touchdown. Rich Hixon clears the way as Dave Alvarado appears to be hurdling his way through for a touchdown. - 56 - Homecoming Victory Jerry Sibincic gains another first- down for the Warriors, while Dave Alvarado assists him in getting up. Coach Bob Joseph’s Warrior-eleven didn’t have as successful year as 1959-60, as they ended the season with 2-8 record. Injuries proved to be a burden to the C.H.S. gridmen this season with a broken leg, wrist injuries, and a score of back injuries. This year marks the fifth season of foot- ball at Calumet High School and the teams have improved considerably. A score of young Warriors fill the list and should make the dif- ference in next year’s record. The Warriors lost seven seniors through graduation. These boys ended their summer vacation in August, the time when most people are away enjoying the highlights of their vaca- tion. They spend long hours of tedious prac- tice everyday to provide a thrilling game for the student body spectators. The future varsity football squads should be proud of the previous years, and hope to better the future ones. SCOREBOARD We They Merrillville 20 13 T. F. North 0 35 Froebel 20 32 T. F.

Jones, R. Jones, D. Kurts, S. Schreiner and L. Huddleston, (back): R. Albrecht, D. Mallory, H. Thomas, L. Simpson, J. Strickland and E. Padron. Once again Calumet’s cross-country team finished the season with a top-heavy win re- cord. Losing only to Hobart, who placed first in the sectionals, the Warrior Harriers closed the season with a 10-1 record. Led by Larry Simpson the Thinlies plac- ed second in the sectionals which qualified them for the state finals. Coach Chris Traicoffs returning Har- riers will include: Simpson, Padron, Albrecht, Strickland and Litherlin. Cross-country, until recently a more-or- less unheralded sport, has blossomed at Cal- umet to become one of the more successful of the Outdoor sports. Next year the second sectional trophy should be residing in the Warrior trophy case. SCOREBOARD We They Dyer 15 49 Chesterton 18 45 Lowell 15 50 River Forest 17 42 E. C.

Varsity Cagers End Season “We want two from you , the crowd cries, and Grant Akin is their man, as he lays it up for a basket. Grant Akin performs the duty of pivotman as he shoots a hook and cashes in on a two-point basket. Finishing the regular season with a so-so 11- 10 record, the Warriors went on to defeat Merrill- ville in their first game of the sectional only to bow to eventual tourney winner Gary Roosevelt in their next encounter. Captain Bob Jackson and flashy guard Har- vest Thomas were the spark plugs that kept the tribe from falling below the .500 mark. Lacking height in all departments, the cagers tried to make up the deficit in speed and guts, but in this day and age it s the feet and inches that pay off in the win-loss column. Highlight of the season was the third meet- ing of the Warriors and the Merrillville Pirates in the sectionals. The Pirates, two-time victor dur- ing the regular season, fell before the inspired Red Clads 62-59. Late in the season, Alfred Thornton, a Froe- bel transfer, added some much needed height to bolster tourney hopes. Coach Chris Traicoff hopes that the addition of Thornton along with Von- drak, Hartman, Alvarado, and Kirklin will make the 1961-62 brighter. With Fair Record The 1960-61 Varsity includes. Tommy Kirklin, Harvest Thomas, George Vondrak, Bob Hart- man, Alfred Thornton, David Hodge, Ed Mahoney, Rudy Serrato, Larry Barnes, David Al- varado, and Bob Jackson, center, captain of the team.

Miller, G. Frizzell, F. Hawks, J. Roark, R. Anderson, T. Cook, B. Woods, C. Hartzell, C. Bewick, J. Hood, and M. Young. Ending the season on the short end of a i-4 season the Warriors ' B-team hampered by injuries, had few bright spots to look back on. Top spot in the year went to Tom Cook as he went 95 yards for a touch down in the 33-0 romp over East Gary to set a Calumet record. Bewick, Hood, and Lewis brought a few glimmers to the scene of an other-wise dreary season for Coach Peter Kokinda. SCOREBOARD T. F. North T. F.

Frizzel, A. Sanders, T. Hiddle, B. Miller, T. Cook, and C. Hill Matching the Varsity with a near .500 season the B-Team Basketballers also had to fight the lack of height to compile even this average record. Ron Fortner was the outstanding Cager and was picked by Coach Steve Bjelich as the “Best All-Around Player ' ’ of the year. Steve Groninga and Ed Mahoney were instrumental in leading the B-Teamers through the season and will be sorely missed as they advance to the Varsity Ranks next fall.

The freshman squad had a stiff schedule to compete with. These included the rough riders of E. C. Roosevelt, and one of Illinois top ranked teams-T. F. North. Ambition, vitality, and confidence were only a few of the ingredients which composed the spirit of the hard working team. A hard fought game against Andrean, 20-0, added another win to the season. This game plus the Horseman game concluded the schedule. The frosh gridmen ended their season with an 8-2 record which gives a preview of the up and coming frosh team. Frosh Gain Skill And Knowledge Good prospects for the reserve team are the following members of the freshman team, (be- ginning at the top of the “C”j D. Hamilton, J. Sparks, D. House, W. Martin, G. Remington, G. Thickens, D. Lewis, S. Robbins, K. Hixon, J. Wilson, T. Wilson, R. Pikula, R. Mantz, J. Poortinga, S. Benson, N. Williams, L. Anthony, M. Bucko, and R. Stamper. - 64 - Playing an exhausting 15 game schedule, the Frosh Cagers managed to pull the chest- nuts out of the fire four times while dropping the decision in the other eleven. Even though the win-loss record does not look good, it does not tell the whole story. Several times the final gun saw a differ- ence of only a few points. Hammond Noll sneaked by 43-40, Highland made it by 25- 20 while Griffith tipped the young Warriors 38-34. The frosh tromped East Chicago Roose- velt to the tune of 60-15, got by Munster 50- 19, knocked off Whiting 38-20 and eased out of Thorton Fractional North 50-44.

The B Team cheerleaders are: Judy Carpenter, Ray- ette Ashby, Karen Bjorklund, Peggy Kennedy, Vivian McCoy, and Carolyn Duke. To boost the team moral is the main purpose of the cheerleaders. They are present at all of the games and it is their job to lead the crowd in cheering the boys on to victory. One of the projects of the cheerleaders this year was to give a sock-hop to raise money to at- tend a cheerleaders conference at Indiana Uni- versity. At this conference the girls learn new techniques in cheering. The varsity and reserve cheerleaders are chosen by officers of the G.A.A. and other mem- bers of the athletic department. The judging is based on co-ordination, voice, ability, poise, and appearance. This year the girls wore the same uniforms as they did last year, red and white skirts, white sweaters and white gym shoes. Practicing some of the cheers for the games are the Varsity Cheer- leaders; Janice Book, Estelle Keck, Renda Rister, and Pat Carey. Half time found the cheerleaders passing the school blanket and asking for “Pennies for Polio”. Activity is the password in G.A.A. This scene is a familiar one, on Monday nights, when all the girls stay to enjoy some whole- some exercise. “Let’s try another chorus of that one, shall we? These girls attend- ed the Girl ' s Athletic Association beach party late this summer. G.A.A. Sponsorship “Up and over” — Carol Prasnickar helps a fellow G.G.A. mem- ber, Sharon Adams do a back spring at an after school asso- ciation meeting. “To build a strong mind and a strong body’’ is an old Greek proverb. Students obtain a strong mind from their academic studies, therefore it is the purpose of the Girls Athletic Association to see that its members obtain a strong body. To meet this goal the members of G.A.A. participate in various sports, among these are: bowling, ice skating, swimming, and volleyball. To remain a member of G.A.A. there are cer- tain requirements that must be made. Each mem- ber is required to have fifty points a semester, these points can be made by attending the G.A.A. activities. The club meets every Monday after school, and once a month they have a business meeting, the other times they have some kind of activity. The main event of the G.A.A. schedule is the G.A.A. banquet, which is held at the end of the year in honor of the seniors. The senior who has earned the most points receives a trophy and other various awards are given. This is the climax of the activities for the year. - 67 - Classmates Someone once made the statement “An- other year, another friend ’ but in action we often change this to “Another year, iiiany more friends,” and well it is when students learn to appreciate their classmatesjregard- less of their way of life, race or creed; when they realize that each one has some small gem in his personality which he can add to a friendship of jeweled memories lasting for ever and a time. For now and in years to come you may- glance through the following pages and visu- alize these classmates as they were in I960- Seniors The position of a senior class officer holds much responsibility, great hon- or, and hard work, as Peter Stares- nick, president; Jackie Nagy, secre- tary; Sondra Marsh, treasurer; and Susan Griggs, vice-president; well know. “Will the last year be the best?”, is the question in the minds of the ’61 seniors. It might not be the best, say the class officers, but it is the busiest. Planning the homecoming, along with the other three classes was the first real job. Then came the ordering of name cards and an- nouncements, measurements of caps and gowns, baccalaureate rehearsal, the senior banquet, and last, but not least Gradua- tion Day. Planning the important activities of their last year, the senior plan- ning committee decides the activities to be performed by the class. - 70 - LINDA ANN ALLENBERG GAA 1, 2, 3, 4; SSS 4; Pep Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Band X, 2; Secretarial 3, 4; Class Com- mittee 4; Office Ass’t 4.

It seems like only yesterday when, four years ago, we as freshmen entered high school. It was a new and exciting experience, and we took advantage of being “freshies as long as we could. None of us can forget how thrilled we were when we attended our first high school basketball game and sock-hop. It didn’t take long for us to get into the swing of things, for our class soon elected it’s class officers and collected class dues and we were the first fresh- men class to do this. Our class was highly honored when Susan Griggs was crowned Varsity Queen, the first freshman girl, ever to receive this honor. As the weeks and months went by, we were anxiously awaiting the day when we would no longer be referred to as “freshies”. That day came and sophomore year proved to be more exciting than our first year. We were no longer the “freshies and it was fun to look down on the students who followed in our footsteps. It seemed like we belonged in high school now and we went to work planning for our next two years, which we wanted to be our best. Our principle goal this year was to try to build our treasury so we could give a prom that would never be forgotten! In order to raise funds for the prom, we gave a semi-formal dance with the theme of “Sayonara”, which was held in the originally decorated girls gym. Next on the agenda was the selection of class rings. The officers, along with the planning committee, had a hard time choosing the ring which would signify the class of 61 . There were several dif- ferent colors from which we could choose from, among them were: white, pink, and gray pearl, plain gold or onyx. We were trying to think of other ways in which to earn money, when before we knew it, we were juniors. Juniors, we could hardly believe it. Now we were “upper-classmen”, it seemed like we had just gotten rid of the name of “freshies”. We got right into action making definite plans for the junior-senior prom. After having a bake sale and a sock-hop we had enough money for the prom. All of this planning was not in vain for on April 23, the date of the prom, the prom turned out to be a big success. We danced to the music of the Johnny Noland Orchestra at the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Gary, which was tropically decorated to the theme of “Aloha”. This simple Hawaiian work was to signify a farewell to the out-going seniors of 1960, and a welcome to the incoming seniors of 1961. The evening was highlighted with the crowning of Sondra Marsh and Bill Steinhubel as prom King and Queen, who reigned over the dance the rest of the evening. They were crowned by Becky Gillespie and Dale Carr, previous years royalty. Each year the American Legion and The American Legion Auxiliary sponsor two girls and two boys to attend Girl’s State and Boy’s State at Indiana University to learn more about government. This year Susan Griggs and Mona Valencia; Michael Reigle and Rich- ard Jackson were chosen to attend. Also attending Indiana University for two weeks were Dianne Nimetz and Beverly Ruzzini the 1961 CHIEFTAIN CO-EDTI ORS. They learned how to put out an All-American Yearbook. With this, our junior year has come to an end and we are now seniors. We don t know whether we should be happy or sad because we rea- lize that this is the beginning of the end. We don’t have time to think about that now be- cause our schedules are so full. As always first things come first and Janice Book was award- ed the Daughters of the American Revolution award, which is based on scholarship, depend- bility, service, and patriotism. Our last homecoming is always a memorable experience es- pecially to the homecoming King and Queen, Avon Shepard and Susan Griggs. Another King and Queen we could never forget is Marrilee Poortinga and James Conley, polio King Only four years of hard work and applied ability could merit the honor of valedictorian and salutatorian, which was earned by Roseann Schuster and Janice Book respectively and Peter Staresnick and Janice Book were voted as Ideal Seniors of 1961. The end of the year is rushed with many activities, and this is when we as seniors are more conscious than ever of this being our last year, now really our last few days. But we are still kept busy by or- dering our announcements and name cards; attending the senior banquet which was held at Marquette Park Pavillion and the Baccalaureate Services, held at Blessed Sacrement And now we are back where we started from, that final moment, our last few minutes of high school, as we walk across the stage to receive our diplomas; we take one last look at our class and think about the last four years we spent with them, this is our last moment with them and we want to keep looking back, but we can’t because as we take our diplomas in our hands we are graduates, and there is no looking back for we must now look ahead. - 93 - Juniors Leading the junior class this year are: Caroline Wyrick, treasurer; Marsha Wroblewski, vice-president; Carole Prasnikar, president; and Sue Fabian, secretary. The prom! What to do about the prom? That is the most discussed subject of the jun- ior class. Planning the junior-class prom takes much time, hard work and great cooperation between the planning committee and class. The planning committee must take into all problems that might occur concerning the prom. While doing this, they must also order their rings and outline the class activities for the year. The responsibility of having an active junior class rests on the shoulders of the members of the planning committee. - 94 - Caro] Adams Sharon Adams Richard Albrecht Sallie Alexander Dave Alvarado Leonard Aranda Iris Amn Roberta Ashby Arietta Bajza Jane Bakunas Diana Balta Donna Bargfeldt Donna Basham Lynda Beach Sharon Beal Charles Beavers Barbara Belchik John Belchik Roy Bennett Leonard Berry Phyllis Bisbee Harold Book Billie Boitnok Pearl Borom Barbara Botts Janet Botts John Brace Jim Bratton Freddie Mae Brock Ron Brooks Dennis Butler Bonnie Carey George Carl Barbara Casassa Carolyn Casmus Sandy Chancellor Midge Charbonneau Elizabeth Cibak Marie Cloud Juanita Cobb John Coburger Jerry Cogdill Georgia Collins Ronald Countryman Mary Craven - 95 - Larry Crisp Carolyn Crowe Bill Dennis Sandra Ditterline Carol Dolly Sue Drake Diana Draper Barbara Edlen Sue Fabian Mary Feeney Fred Finney Dennis Finnerty Michael Fiscus Steve Gazdik Nancy Gillespie Dennis Gilsinger Howard Godfrey Eloy Gonzales Dorothy Griffin Sandra Guthrie Harry Hall Sylvia Hall Ken Hamilton Billy Harper Elmer Hart Venia Hatmaker Bob Hartman Danny Hayes Janice Henderson Tina Hicks William Hicks Richard Hixon David Hochstetler Darlene Hodge James Hodge Mary Hodge Carl Holifield Eileen Hollenbaugh John Horvath Karen Howell Tom Howard Sharon Huddleston Mariann Huffman Marcia Hunt Marie Jackson Sharon Jackson Gene Jones Phillip Jones Julie Kalinowicz Georgine Kallas Charles Keatts JoAnne Kelley Elaine Kemeny Macie Klutts Harold Kirk Joe Kirk Karen Kleinman Sharon Kleinman Judy Koerner Michael Koyen Donna Kristoff Jeanne Lewis Theresa Lewis Lavonne Ligocki Ruth Likes Gerry Lowell Gerald Lowry Laura Ludwig Mary Ann Lukus Gerry Lutz Darrell Mallory Carol Martin Arthur Mathas Kay Matiak Tom Mauger Larry May Barbara McBrayer Betty McCallie Mike Meyers Mary Ann Mikalowsky Larry Modglin Judy Moyer Thomas Murphy Charles Myring Joyce Nagy James Nathaniel Jan Nidelchoff Robbi Nidelchoff Larry Nimetz Carolyn Oberc Ken O ' Deen Betty O ' Heam Dottie Pelke Terry Pharr Marie Poremski Carole Prasnikar Janette Ralph Jeffrey Ready Sharon Remington James Rexroat Danny Reynolds Joe Rhyne Gerald Riddle Renda Rister Jim Rivers Phil Sanchez Jackie Sanders John Sankowski John Sasser Carol Savka Sara Schneider Don Schreiner Lynn Schwartz Pat Schwartz John Seber Nancy Shinkle Judy Shimko Leland Simms Larry Simpson Jim Sims Harry Smith Carol Sokol Ken Sosnowski Donna Sowles Arlene Sparks Virginia Spiller Donna Stassin Carol Stephens Connie Stillabower Rhuetta Stone Louise Strayer Jean Streeter V iolet Sullivan Raeann Summers Harllind Swift - 98 - Gerald Taylor Harold Taylor Terrence Taylor V ivan Thomas Willa Mae Thomas Layne Thoreron Roger Toczek Pauline Torchia Charles Travis Elaine Volk George Vondrak Steve Vuich JoAnn Walker Loretta Wall James Wahlman Judy Warren Donald Waters Gloria Webster Yvonne Webster Frankie Wells JoAnn West Charles Wethington Particia Will Jim Williams Donna Wilson Linda Wright Marsha Wroblewski Carol Wyrick - 99 - Sophomores Taking time out from their busy sche- dule are the sophomore class officers: Sherra Wilt, treasurer; Sheryle Harms, vice-president; Sandy Christ- off, president; and Betty Mead, sec- retary. After ten years of long awaited anticipation, the sophomores have finally made it. They have made plans for ordering their class rings which they should receive late in the summer or soon after school begins. This project which is one of “those moments to remember” is planned and car- ried out by the class officers, planning commit- tee and assited by it ' s head sponsor, Mr. John Tsangaris. In order to build up their treasury for the up-and-coming years the class sponsored a sock- hop. The sophomore planning committee has been very active this year ordering their class rings and looking ahead to their jun- ior year. - 100 - Geraldine Alexander Minnie Alexander Ruby Alexander Sandy Anderson George Amn Rayette Ashby Roy Austin Michael Baker Irene Bukunas Martha Barber Lester Barnard Marcella Basham James Beehn Chester Berry Linwood Berry Judith Blythe Carol Boger Milford Bond Karen Bounds Claire Borns Philip Bough George Brack Ben Brown Beverly Brown Alice Buergler Barbara Bulkies Roy Burk Connie Burnett Linda Caldwell Barbara Campbell Wayne Cash Michael Chandler Janet Charbonneau Don Christoff Sandra Christoff Julia Claubaugh James Clark Bill Coates Rozell Cobb James Cogdill Jessie Cook Tom Cooke - 101 - zr ?[ v ? v f v .

Being a freshman class officer is a good way to begin high school life. Martin Ligocki, president; Judy Wy- rick, vice-president; Nancy Hill, sec- retary; and June Bell, treasurer; agree with this whole-heartedly. - 106 - The freshmen planning committee believes in starting their four years at Calumet off right, by outlining different activi- ties of the year. Starting a new adventure, the freshmen soon learn the ways of high school life. But athletic games, dances, and studies aren’t the only new experiences for the fresh- men. They have the planning of the class acti- vities for the year to consider and thus must wisely choose their officers and planning com- mittees. Most important of all these responsibili- ties, the “green freshies” must prove them- selves able and worthy of the rewards of high school life. fj m ' n vf Itfe t k A v a o , fc� z± J, -: W 4 .

This is only one of the many jobs he performs at Calumet High School. “Files, files and more files,” Mr. George Savin, guidance di- rector, makes adequate use of them by referring to past re- cords. The office personnel plays an important part in the busy schedule of a day as Mrs Cudziol, secretary, prepares to file from Mrs. Re- dar, treasurer. - 113 - School Board Aids In Solving Problems Of The Township “Always busy.” That may well be the motto of the school board: Wayne Peters, Harry Seberger, Robert Ol- son, Austin Moore, and Stan- ley Forcht. Final decisions on all matters concerning the school in Calumet Township are O.K.’d by the members of the Calumet Township Metropolitan School Board. The board has at least one meeting a month which is held in the audio-visual room at Calumet Junior High. These meetings are opened to the public. The board also has other meetings from time to time which are private. Austin Moore, president, presides at the meetings. The other members are as follows: Wayne Peters, vice-president; Robert Olson, secretary; and Stanley Forcht, treasurer. Dr. Earl J. Schuur, superintendent of Calumet Township Schools, is present at all the meet- ings. New policies, new facilities, and new acti- vities are just a few of the many projects that is on the agenda for the school board. It is the purpose of the board to see that the schools are operated in a way that would best benefit the students. As superintendent, Dr. Earl J. Schuur well knows the hard work and great responsibilities of his position. - 114 - Faculty AHLGRIM, GEORGE H. Baptist Bible Seminary Harpur College Th.

English Grammar English Literature Business Arithmetic - 119 - L nt Ich year at Calumet brings to pass a c hapter in our book of memories .Each page highlights tears of joy and sadness; hard work _ and fun with the gang. Sock-hops, basketball and football games, the polio drive, the sectionals, and commence- V ment excercises may be among the many Acti- vities that stand out in your memory. All of these, along with concentrated study, form the life and personality of a well- ' rounded American Student. It is our respon- sibility to take this opportunity to grow our fullest in America. w to The Thrill And Excitement The game was over, the crowd was gone and the field was quiet, and empty, but the memories of that night sang through the wind. Everyone who saw Calumet win their Home- coming game of the 1960-61 season from the River Forest Ingots, will never forget the ex- citement that filled the crowd before the game or the roar of cheers that exploded when the teams lined up for the kick-off. Nor will they forget the half-time when everyone waited breathlessly for the announcement of the best float. “Casey Jr., which was made by the freshmen class, won out of four floats, all of whose themes were of fantasy. At last the long awaited moment when the Homecoming Queen would be announced drew near. There was a hush in the crowd and at last the an- nouncement came that Susan Griggs was cho- sen Homecoming Queen of I960. Nor will we ever forget the presentation of the winning football to Avon Shepherd, “Mr. Football”, at the dance after the game. Yes, the Home- coming was over and the field was dark and deserted but the memories will live forever. - 122 - Of Homecoming 1960 “A kiss for her majesty.” Avon Shep- herd, “Mr. Football,” gives Susan Griggs, Homecoming Queen, a tender kiss during the homecoming dance. “Beauty and the Beast.” The senior class float represents the Warriors and Ingots in Calumet’s homecoming. Here the float parades around the field. Riding on a “pumpkin coach the homecoming nominees pa rade around the field in the junior class float. Bright Colors, French Hairdos, “When a girl changes from bobbie socks to stocking.” When-really seems to be the question at Calumet this year. It looks as though the girls will never make the change since tennis shoes and bobbie socks are the fad this year. All the rest of the school apparel seems to go from one extreme to another. There are purses as large as suitcases and as small as envelopes; colors that are as bright as the sun and some as dull as dusk; skirts that are being worn real straight and with a thou- sand pleats. When it comes to outer apparel, the trenchcoat, short knit jacket and the leather coat seem to be the thing with both the boys and the girls. As far as hair styles go with the girls they are wearing their hair piled high upon their heads. Since dress and appearance play a very im- portant part in students life, fads and fashions are in full swing at Calumet. Long or short, as you like it. Modeling these three popular hair styles of the year are Sue Fabian, Vivian McCoy, and Carolyn Pat- terson. From Virginia Spiller in a coordinating skirt and vest to Alice Girls find ways to wear “his” ring. Some examples are on a chain, Buergler in a jantzen; those are the “matches” of the day. or a bracelet, and with angora or ring guards. - 124 - Dominate Fads What ' s the latest style in footwear Well, take your pick. Marilyn Natale portrays her belief in contrast. Her attire con- sists of long knee socks, short kilts, and a bulky knit sweater. “Cool” but not intended to be is the knit jacket worn by Di- ana Ludwig, trench coat by Bill Woods, and the elaborate car coat by Susan Griggs. - 125 - Slave Sale, Candy Drive Make Planning the routes and picking the key districts for the Polio Drive are Larry Ber- dine and Roseann Schuster, chairmen of the Polio Drive. All proceeds go toward the Polio Drive. Selling taffy apples were Sharon Kleinman and Dorothy Pelke, while Lou Ann Byers, Betty Breeden, and Brenda Scott decide on the apples they wish to buy. - 126 - Polio Drive Success The hand that gives. Doing a worth while cause as collecting donations during the Polio Drive was Carolyn Lohman. - 127 - Miss Johnson, Gary Finney, Jayne Bradley, Sherry Howell, Mr. Strycker, and Mrs. Cooke enjoy a break at the canteen. The big moment arrived for Marrilee Poortinga and Jim Conley when they were crowned “Polio King and Queen for 1961“ by Miss Joan Johnson. Calumet has engaged in the annual Polio Drive which in the past has been held on a com- petitive basis. This year, however, we participated in it on an individual school basis and for the main purpose of contributing to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Arthritis and Birth Defects. Committees were chosen under the direction of the Student Council and plans were made to make the drive a huge success. The Sunshine Society began the drive by or- ganizing the annual Polio King and Queen con- test. The cheerleaders passed the school blanket at games, the classes participated against each other in a “Dime line”, and students and teach- ers were auctioned off at lunch hours in order to receive funds. But the big day really came on January 21 when everyone gathered to sell candy and when a successful sock-hop was held in the gym that evening for all the diligent workers. “Another day, another friend”. This statement is heard from Lois Freeman, Margaret John- son, and Marcia Hunt on the first day of school. Judy Wyrick, like so many freshman at Calumet this year, is very confused on the location of the rooms. Here she looks for the chemistry room. “Back to school.” That’s what Carolyn Casmus, Elaine Volk, and Karen Howell are thinking as they enter school to start another busy year. - 128 - “Ride ’em Cowgirl , could very well be the cry heard at the donkey basketball game at Calumet this year. Oh these darn books!” Joan Klimek seems to be having a rough time as she hurriedly opens her locker. “Sold to the highest bidder”, exclaims Peter Staresnick, selling slaves for the Polio Drive. - 129 - Class competition was a major thing in the King and Queen Contest. Linda Wertz, sopho- more, flatly refuses to contribute to the junior cause when asked by Judy Moyer but Linda Beach is co-operative. There are many times through life when it’s best to re- main silent.

They decided (as we hope you will decide) to let Inland Steel Company help them plan their future. Some are gaining knowledge and experience in spe- cial trades to become journeyman machinists, car- penters or electricians . . . some are concentrating on certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing lines. Still others are working in laboratories building a sound foundation for a future in steel research. Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent opportunity to further his education. Employees may participate in a variety of on-the-job training pro- grams, or they can continue their formal education by registering for evening courses offered by local Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers.
