Each counsellor begins to advise a student in his tenth year, and sees him through to graduation—or tries to. This friendly interest means that each student has someone who knows him personally and is concerned for his welfare. The guidance program is headed by the principal, C. P. Woodruff; the assistant principal, Mr. Updike; the guidance Miss Gookin, Dean of Girls chairman, Mr. Kauffman; and the two deans, Miss Gookin and Mr. Rogers. This group plans all of the school’s academic and extra-curricular affairs. Much of the guidance is carried on through the home- room. Sophomores are oriented into school affairs and tra- ditions through group counselling; Juniors are given voca- tional tests and guidance into careers; Seniors are aided in choosing colleges, planning careers, establishing goals for the future. Mr. Rogers, Dean of Boys Jane MacRae gives a speech in sophomore speech class Mrs. Burkhardt explains a rule of grammar to David Knowles 20 MR. BOYLE English is a basic subject Since three years of English are required for graduation from EHS and since most students take four years, the English curriculum is both wide and deep. A four-track plan is the basis of the English courses, a plan which is fitted to the needs of all kinds and levels of students, and includes remedial, accelerated, general and college-preparatory courses. Writing lab, English and American literature, modern literature, and Bible are offered, as well as several courses in speech. In all English classes, films, recordings, and class- room libraries enrich the material in texts. In addition, the school library offers a wealth of material in books and periodicals. But contrary to the idea that many critics have about the English taught in our modern schools, the basic study of grammar, spelling and mechanics is not neglected in EHS. On each level and in each class, the fundamentals are stressed. The department is uniform in this, as well as in the matters of grading papers, in encouraging supplementary reading, and in working for good English usage. MISS BENDER MRS.

YOUNG MISS BOOK MISS LUTY In Advanced Biology Miss Archibald points out the functions of the heart Science teaches us to think The study of science aids students in discovering what makes up their universe and leads them into new fields of understanding. All of the science courses can be of direct use in daily lives. In the new Chemical Bond Approach to chemistry, students learn to classify substances and to see the particular way by which atoms are linked by chemical bonds. In addition to regular courses in physics, the science of matter and energy, and in biology, the science of living things, students may take advanced courses.

HARVEY Math challenges us The young person who chooses mathematics as a career joins an illustrious company: Euclid, Decartes, Gauss, and many others. With Kepler he learns the laws governing the planets; with Newton he discovers the composition of light; with Einstein he unlocks the atomic age. Dr. Norris Sheppard has said, “The youngster who goes into mathematics will be taking up the oldest and one of the noblest of the sciences. It is more than the science of numbers . . . more than a science revealing the real si gnificance of time and space. It trains a man to cope with unknown quantities and to translate their relationships into logical, comprehensible patterns.” MISS BISHOP MR. BUSSE 26 MR. EHRSAM MRS. FOX ‘ mle LS anes re WRIGHT MR.

As the name implies, this approach emphasizes the use of the spoken language as the primary objective. While the method itself is not new, materials adaptable for use with it have only recently become available. The basic material is presented to the student in the form of a dialogue. First the meaning is given in English; then the dialogue is taught sentence by sentence until each student is able to take any part of the dialogue and recite it without hesitation. The dialogue thus learned serves as a model of various grammar points. Vocabulary is kept to a minimum in the beginning stages of foreign language learning and is learned in context, rather than in isolated words. French students study pronunciation in our excellently equipped language laboratory. Latin students, however, are more concerned with the literary aspect of the language and do not use the language laboratory. Sey Mietsasiard? | oe Translating Caesar, Latin class 28 MR.

JORDAN Social Studies build citizens Current events, U.S. government, world geography, ancient customs—these important parts of our heritage are also important parts of the social studies curriculum at EHS. Two of these courses, United States History and American Prob- lems, are so necessary for the education of future citizens that they are required for graduation. World History, an elective, develops an understanding of other countries: their history and their influence on world problems. Effective Living aids our personal and social development and helps us to understand others. For students interested in teaching, Cadet Teaching offers practical experience through placement in grade schools. All these social studies courses prepare us for our roles now and in the future.

WILLIAMS — In U.S. History, Dave McFarland explains a territorial map Business courses train us With bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, merchandising, and clerical practice as their courses, the department strives to develop students for jobs in these areas. Students studying secretarial practice spend two hours daily in class learning to take dictation, transcribe, file and be receptionists. Bookkeeping is a study of the factors that affect profit. Merchandising prepares students for salesmanship. The business department serves not only those who con- tinue in business after graduation but also college-bound students with shorthand, typing and notehand.

Sophomores and juniors are offered a two-part course in the selection and preparation of food and the selection, making, and care of clothing. Since everyone treasures his home and family, the Home Eco- nomics department prepares girls to be efficient family members.

Areas specifically dealt with in all beginning art classes are: lettering, sculpture, ceramics, graphics, drawing, and painting. Advanced work is grouped in three major cate- gories: painting and drawing, sculpture and ceramics, graph- ics and special projects. Music: Music plays an important part in the curriculum. Our school’s musical groups, the band, orchestra, and choirs, are actively learning and performing, under the leadership of skilled directors, great works by renowned composers. “Pop” Gowdy stresses a technical point in choir ——— Ct a D- Pe MALIA MR.

This curriculum seeks to develop an understanding of the extraction of raw materials and the manufaciuring processes involving these ma- terials. In addition to processes, courses provide students with an understanding of the tolerances, workmanship, finishes, material selection, design quality, and all factors which affect a product’s construction and ulti- mate consumption. This understanding will assist youth in their adjust- ments to the industrial and highly technological society of the future, as consumers, producers, or both. The Industrial Department is divided into Industrial Arts and Vocational Education. Industrial Arts is a preparatory course of specialized fields of higher edu- cation or for a chosen vocational field.

RIDENS Industrial Arts Vocational Education is a direct training course to prepare the graduate for an industrial occupation. We are offered training in woodworking, graphic art, elec- tricity and electronics, machine trades, automotive power and transportation, drafting, general metals and building trades, all taught in well-equipped shops. In the building trades, actual homes are designed, built, finished, and sold. This year for practical experience, the building trades are also doing construction work on the Field House at Rice Field.

Through general condition- ing activities, sports, team or individual games, rhythmics and self-testing activities, the students learn to practice good sportsmanship and study hygiene. A knowledge of highway safety rules, of proper attitudes, and of courtesy in driving are stressed in driver education. Twenty hours -of classroom instruction, with six hours of behind- the-wheel training, are taught by four teachers in classes which begin at 7:00 in the morning and continue throughout the day. MR.

The first activity, a cider and doughnut party was held in October. In the following months we chose our colors, lilac and yellow; our flower, the violet; and our motto, “Learning precedes success”, as well as our name cards, announcements, and caps and gowns in preparation for graduation. The spring months were filled with rehearsals, teas, and other pre-graduation activities. On April 21, the students sponsored a car wash to raise money for the Hospital Development Fund. The final class picnic was held May 19; “Oklahoma”, a new type of Senior Day Program, was presented June 1. Then came the end of school activities: Baccalaureate on June 3, the Senior Banquet on June 5, the AAUW tea for girls on June 6, and Commencement on June 8.

Through these programs, seniors, juniors and sophomores are given the information they need for commencement, junior activities, and sophomore orientation into EHS. In the Senior year the programs in the fall semester are aimed toward plans for college. In the second semester, those Seniors not going to college are offered help through the advanced training program. easgeret: s indiana State College 62 In the Junior year, the theme for program building is “My Future’. Following the Kuder Preference Tests, juniors wrote vocational themes, and, on career day, attended group meetings in which local leaders of industry told them about their chosen fields. The Sophomore homeroons first learned about EHS organi- zations, customs, traditions. They learned the school hymn, they were given the rules governing absences, passes, pep sessions and assemblies.

Although each ) counselor has a teaching schedule, he makes himself available for conferences, spending | many hours each day in advising students. | Usually a counselor takes his student through all three years of high school, so that from his sophomore to his senior year the student knows his counselor as a guide and as a friend. One of the advantages of attending a good school in a good community is getting to know the leaders of the community. Many times during the year Elkhartans give generously of their time and energy, coming into the school and talking to classes and home rooms. In the picture at the right, Mr. William P. Miller, local theater owner, discusses movies with the Modern Lit. class. Mr. Miller discusses movies with a Modern Lit. class 70 Class of ’64 The class of ‘64, the largest sophomore class to ever enter EHS, had a busy year adjusting to high school life and planning ahead for their junior year. Orienta- tion assemblies in the fall about the responsibilities of growing up and the school rules were followed by the election of officers. Taped homeroom assemblies were given concerning colleges and other methods of ad- vanced training. In April the class selected its ring and held its first eae eae individual activity—the Sophomore class picnic. The Sponsors: Mr. Hungate, Miss Archibald Talent Search Committee, a new committee selected by the officers, was formed to discover and encourage talent for the Follies and other junior activities next year.

This year the Council, led by President Rich Ballard and sponsored by Mr. Updike and Mr. Kauffman, consisted of sixty-six members, representa- tives and alternates elected from the homerooms, who dis- cussed and solved many problems and _ initiated service projects. Three Council committees have done outstanding work this year. The Hall Traffic Committee tackled the crowded hallway problems. Rules were presented to help eliminate these problems; between classes monitors were stationed at the passageways and on the stairways to enforce the rules and to insure quicker easier passing. Time and effort spent by the members of the Student Handbook Committee re- sulted in the reprinting of the Student Handbook this winter. On March 5 handbooks were distributed to every EHS Front row—Mary Lou Stack, Mary Pendill, Linda Potter, Carol Malitzke, Nancy DeWees, Ann Marone, Penny Merrick, Patty Elliott, Jane MacRae Row 2—Larry Hardy, Debbie Erne, Bonnie Christeon, Jane Schwaegerman, Margarey Wood, Linda Burnham, Nancy Geil, Chuck Couts, Dick Gygi Row 3—Nancy Jones, Marilyn Long, Judy Edsall, Pam Bean, Judy Stealy, Christine Prasse, Peggy Christner, Peggy Maurer, Barbara Bundy Row 4—Fred Brandt, Don Bremer, John Chester, Jim Freed, Leonard Echols, Chuck Richardson, Tom McQueen, Mike Erwin, Bill Frost, Vince Terlep 82 Christine Prasse discusses the foreign student program with Umit Kesim (Turkey) and Yelina Kurchacova (Cuba) student. Next year a foreign student will attend EHS; this is the result of a fine job done by the Foreign Student Com- mittee members. In addition, two projects were successfully carried out by the Council. Working in co-operation with Pep Club, the Council sponsored the first Homecoming Basketball Queen. On April 7 the Council sponsored a Work Day. As a service to the community, students worked for local citizens who were unable to do the work themselves.

The purpose of this club is to create better relationships and to promote unity among the girls. Ten girls from each class make up the advisory council which usually met once a month to discuss problems around the school and future activities. Cracker barrel, with Carol Baker as chairman, was the club’s outstanding committee. Discussions on hair styles, per- League sonal hygiene, steady dating and teen-age marriages were held during the year by cracker barrel. The annual “kid” party, the big sister-little sister Thanks- giving party, and numerous coke parties were some of the activities which made this year successful. Spring activities included the vocational tea, the style show, the vesper service, and a Sadie Hawkins dance. Front row—Miss Gookin, Sponsor; Rose Ware, Vice-Pres.; Nancy Hughes, Sec.

Every boy is a member of Boys’ League; the advisory coun- cil, consisting of five boys elected from each class and the league officers, decides on programs, parties, and services and then presents the decisions to the boys at the Boys’ League assemblies. This year the League saw Mr. Davies’ slides of his trip around the world and Mr. Weaver's slides on Africa. In cooperation with Girls’ League, they sponsored the Sadie Hawkins Dance on April 27 and the all-school picnic in the fall.

The club tried to promote interest and participation among the club members who dis- cussed future contests, recognized winners from recent con- tests, and gave speech demonstrations or had speakers at their meetings. The members elected Christine Prasse, Presi- dent; Mike Pollock, Vice-president; Nancy DeWees, Scretary; Nancy Tiedemann, Treasurer; and Linda Thorne, contest manager. Outside their meetings, the members participated in speech contests throughout the state. Through this competition for speech awards with speech students of other schools, NFL members gained valuable speech experience. Such con- tests were the Howe Inexperienced Contest, the Purdue Con- test, the Howe Experienced Contest, the Manchester High School Speech Tourney, the Rotary Speech Contest, the Ora- torical Contest sponsored by the local Optimist Club, the District Contest, the Zone Contest, and the State Contest. The club members also spoke to service clubs and to various community groups and organizations. They _intro- duced assembly speakers, gave readings in homerooms, and gave morning announcements. National Honor Society National Honor Society was formed with the idea of creat- ing enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulating a desire to render service, and encouraging the development of character among students. This year most of the projects used to attain their goal centered around a brotherhood theme. The group attempted to promote brotherhood by having a party for underprivileged children, making displays in store windows, ; : ; : : Mr. Kurchacova talks to National Honor Society about the crisis and having several good speakers at meetings. tal Cobe This club of fifty-one members, under the sponsorship of Miss Zehner and Mr. Willis, held a spaghetti supper as their money-making project. The money was used to present a $100 scholarship to one of the club members. The club also carried on their usual activities of tutoring students who need help and sending congratulatory cards to students with exceptional grades.

This year the group Christmas caroled at the hospital and wrapped favors at Christmas for the Mental Health Association. Throughout the year, medical school personnel, schools of nursing personnel, and hospital personnel came to discuss the aspects of many different medical careers, aiding the girls in deciding upon a future medical career. Financed by the profit made from the club’s candy-selling project, an informative trip was made to medical schools this spring.

Their most important projects were choosing a boy and girl each month as a good citizen and setting up a display in the First Old State Bank in connection with American Education Week. However, they also gave their teas during the year, held a party for kindergarteners at the Rehabilitation Center, and attended two FTA conventions.

In order to achieve this goal, the members carried out many projects which benefited not only the individual members but also the school and the community. This year some of their outstanding projects were repairing toys with the members of Machinist Club at Christ- mas, assembling a Christmas basket full of food and toys for a needy family here in Elkhart, supplying the “thought for the day” during National FHA Week in April, serving refresh- ments at the faculty meetings every month, and assisting at other school activities when needed. Miss Amsbaugh, the club sponsor, contributed her advice and assistance to make the annual money-making project, which this year was a cookie sale, a success. Her presence added to the girls’ enjoyment of the club and of the club activities and projects and contributed to the general feel- ing that the club’s outstanding achievement was the fun, joy, and excitement that the girls found through working together. A college homemaking major talks to the Future Homemakers of America 90 Triple L Triple L-has always been a service club, but this year be- cause of the large membership, it was necessary for the club to divide into two groups. However, the Triple L girls and the Little L’s often combined to work on service projects. This year they ushered at “College Night” and the choir concerts, took presents to a crippled child, had a Valentine project, sold carnations, kept up a bulletin board, and each week visited an old people’s home. However, their most outstand- ing project was helping to support a Greek orphan boy. The club met every other Thursday in Room 220 with the Triple L girls selling carnations at tourney time sponsors, Mrs. Burkhardt and Mrs. Watson. During meetings the members listened to talks given by school personnel on many interesting topics. The final event of the year was a banquet honoring the senior club members.

Hi-Y Club Although the two Hi-Y groups at EHS function individually, the purpose of the clubs is the same—to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community, high standards of Christian character. Alpha Hi-Y served the community by putting on programs for the county home, by working for the Salvation Army at Christmas, and by helping at the Retarded Children’s Center. They have had various projects throughout the year to raise money for the needy. Beta Hi-Y served the school by working in the check-rooms at games. They serve the community by ringing bells for the | March of Dimes and by distributing posters for the United Fund Drive. Y-Teens Y-Teens met every Tuesday evening at the Y.W.C.A. with the sponsors, Mrs. Ball, Miss Hall and Mrs. Glassburn. At regular meetings the 150 members enjoyed a variety of good programs which were geared to help the girls grow | in friendship with people of all races, religions and national- ities, and to help them grow in the knowledge and love of God. Outside of meetings the girls were busy carrying out many activities. Among them were conducting a candy sale, help- ing the Salvation Army and the March of Dimes, sponsor- ing the Sweetheart Swing, Christmas caroling, and putting on a car wash. The club’s most outstanding achievement of the year was helping to establish the new Teen Canteen for teen-agers in Elkhart.

Concerts! A TV program! A Ford Foundation com- poser! A trip to Chicago!—all these were part of this year’s | choir activities! One of the first activities for the Concert Choir was singing in the South Bend State Teachers’ Convention Chorus on Oc- tober 26. A selected group of seniors participated in this event. Preparing to give the annual Christmas Concert on Decem- ber 7 and 9 was a big task.

Taping a Christmas program which was presented on Christmas Day as part of the local TV series “Expedition into Music’ meant a tedious but exciting evening at the WSJV studios. Solos and groups receiving firsts at the local music contest January 11 went to Penn Township for district con- test on January 27. Finally, the state contest was held at Butler University in Indianapolis on February 17. The local choir festival for the ninth grade and high school choirs was held January 30. Each choir sang _indi- vidual numbers and combined to sing four selections, each conducted by one of the four numbers. April found the Concert Choir traveling to Chicago to hear the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with guest conductor, Van Cliburn, On April 7 all four choirs went to Goshen to participate with the choirs of Goshen, LaPorte and Michigan City in the annual quad-school McEglp Choral Festival. Ivan Kortkamp was guest conductor. The Spring Concert, a dress-up affair in formals and tuxes, featured numbers from “Porgy and Bess” and “Camelot.” “Camelot” was also the theme of the Choir Banquet held May 14. Finally, a performance at Baccalaureate ended the year’s activities. Mrs. Ethel Kambs, faithful and talented accompanist for all choirs, deserves many thanks for her help and inspiration.

But size alone does not set this orchestra apart from other high school orchestras. Fine musicianship and the desire to produce well the works of the masters have earned the orchestra its achievements. The EHS Symphony Orchestra was, for the third consecu- tive year, privileged to practice and perform the music of its own Ford Foundation composer, Lewis Miller. The orchestra performed Mr. Miller’s “Danza” in their autumn concert, and they performed his “This Universal Frame” with the combined choirs in the spring choir concert. The orchestra gave three concerts during the year featur- ing music by Handel, Sibelius, Lerner and Loewe, Moussorg- sky, Brahms—to name just a few. The orchestra also accom- panied the choirs in both their Christmas and Spring concerts.

The seniors met the final show with mixed emotions: some were glad that it was over; others, sorry. The first concert was hastily put together in two short weeks. We performed “Swedish Rhapsody” by Leidzen and ‘Fete’ by Hermann. After the first concert we settled down to : work toward the contests. Before we knew it, it was time for our second concert. We = | did part of “Scheherezade” by Rimski-Korsakov, “Prelude S| for Band” by Miller, and “Incantation and Dance” by Chance. We did “Incantation and Dance” two weeks later at MENC (Music Educators National Convention) along with “Aria and Scherzo” by Frankenpohl, “Prelude for Band” by Miller, and “Overture: Elkhart 1960” by Washburn. For the concert in Chicago we wore our brand new uniforms. S| We went to Band and Orchestra Contest on April 14 at Mr. Davies, band and orchestra director New Haven. In May we gave the Senior Concert with mixed emotions of pride and sadness, an experience which seniors won’t soon forget. The final performance of the 1961-62 band was at graduation exercises in June.

Despite this handicap, the staff has steadily improved over the year and now boasts a fine newspaper every Friday. The Pennant Weekly is issued each Friday during homeroom. —— ae Its platform states its purpose: to publish all the worthwhile news, to publicize the worthwhile activities of EHS. It is a paper for and by the students; that is, the paper is written entirely by staff members; it is linotyped and printed by students. Miss Kelly, Mr. Nellist, and Mr. Ulery supervise, but the Pennant is a student pro- duction. } The Pennant is also self-supporting. Copies are sold at ten i cents. Our advertising staff solicits ads from Elkhart merchants who defray part of the expenses by their patronage. The Weekly puts out several special issues: the Christmas issue, the tourney blue and white issue, the underclass issue in April, and the senior issue at the end of the year.

The desire to learn, the warmth, and the friendliness of a school on the inside are what makes a school great. For the first time in the history of the Pennant Annual, color: was used. In each of three four-page insert division pages, a double-spread color page shows an academic scene, an activity, and a sports shot. The staff consisted of Kay Freeman, editor; Linda Mininger, Mary Nicholls, Nancy Ryger, Linda Weaver, assistant editors; Jim Ash, art editor; Steve Williams, sports editor. Heading the business staff were Steve Eldridge, manager, and Ray Ma- this, assistant. Steve Bettcher and Janet Klingaman were the advertising managers, and Nancy Geil and Barbara Bundy served as the chairmen of the club section. Many other seniors helped to sell ads, sell yearbooks, write copy, take pictures, mount pictures, type and do various other jobs on the book.

As he traveled forward instead of backward, he met such illustrious persons as Napoleon (Mike Kretschmer), George Washington (Diane Leiler), Caesar (Toby Wegrich) and his pal, Mark Anthony (Skip Pattitucci) and many other celebri- ties. He saw parts of the Revolutionary War, the Gold Rush, the fabulous Twenties, silent movies, speakeasys and all, and the television stars of the present. The final skit was at Cape Canaveral, with the sending up of a rocket. The Steering Committee, which began work last summer was headed by Nancy Wiesner. Other members were: Helen “And this’, says the narrator, “is the gang, off to murder Caesar” Harper, Jill Yousling, Breta Woodhull, Linda Patzsch, Janet Buckwalter, Jinx Compton, Sharon Mishkin, Larry Kemble, Jacquie Drake, Sally Rush, Carol McCormick, Larry Worden, Dave Evans, and Celia Williams. Ed Drexler was business manager; Sharon Mishkin, ticket sales manager; other jUniors working as committee heads were: Margaret Masse, publicity; Page Spray, programs; Connie Kaade, scenery; Lynne Fisch- er, props. The Junior Sponsors are Mr. Rohrer and Miss Pray. Actors in the Silent Movie skit tell the caveman all about it National Thespians Society The National Thespians Society of Elkhart High School has been very active this year. Under the leadership of its officers and Mrs. Dillen, sponsor, the club has achieved its purpose: that of creating interest in and promoting dramatics in the high school. At the bi-weekly meetings, a business meeting is conducted, after which the remaining time is devoted to the presentation of plays, and readings, or hearing speakers. Outside of the meetings, much time is devoted to the presentation of pro- . grams for church groups, home rooms, sororities, and occa- sional assemblies. The most active committee is the program committee, whose job it is to arrange programs for the club. Some of the outstanding events of the past year were a field trip to Nappanee to see a play and the presentation of the two one-act plays: “The Dear-departed” and “Undertow”. The most outstanding events of the year were the play, “The Night of January 16th” and the final event, the spring banquet honoring all Senior Thespians.

By discussing coming concerts, ¥ musical programs, recordings of jazz and serious literature, | it is hoped that the members will gain a greater knowledge of and appreciation for good music. Through their pursuit of enjoyment and understanding through listening to music in the club, the members under the direction of Mr. Davies have higher levels of awareness of their musical inheritance.

FRENCH CLUB The French Club, in ad- dition to their regular Thursday meetings, had one big project, the French Club Supper, April 13. Decorating the cafe- teria as the Red Onion, they served two hundred guests. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club has heard speakers from Spain, Mexico and Cuba.

Their meetings were devoted to taking care of general club business, to discussing proper shooting form, and to listening to lectures on firearms. Outside of school, rifle prac- tice was held at an indoor range on Cassopolis Street. On May 17 an awards banquet was held at the ABZ restau- rant.

This year thirty enthusiastic students comprised the group. Since there is no journalism class, the club provided an opportunity for Mr. Nellist, sponsor of the Weekly as well as the club, to give the members training in writing news, writing heads, features and other types of material for papers and magazines. Students learned to size and crop pictures. Field trips to the EHS Print Shop and the Elkhart Truth gave the club members a better idea of make-up, press work, linotyping and printing. For those interested in a future in journalism and related fields, Mr. Nellist discussed publish- ing procedures. Newspapers and school newspapers were used as ex- amples of various methods of handling news, of what news is and of how through syndicates, news is disseminated. 113 i | } ; } 7 i 53 i e { j { i 4 i 4 ” Bi { | 4 § 4 i { ‘ { £ 4 i i +4 4 4 ¢ | 4 ‘ { : { H s q : { ’ 4 { i y ; Machinist Club: Front row—Charles Replogle, Woody Graham, Don Barfell, Bob Wise- man Row 2—Stan Gill, Mike Ambrose, Ronnie Longacre, Don Johnson Row 3—Jack Cornish, John Dempsey, Mr. Wysong, Ken Bluebaker, Tom Ott Amateur Radio Club: Front Row—Roberia Wenger, Jill Keating, Mr. Rohrer, Karen Mahoney, Marilyn Miller i Row 2—Steve Artley, Jim Robinson, Ron Holdreed, Ron Curtis, Larry Wine, Gordon McQuere Row 3—Carlton Osborn, Jack Hubbard, Clark Miller, Larry Worden, Don Curtis 114 Tomorrow’s Workers Members of Machinist Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Wysong, studied various machines used in industry, noting new trends and new inventions. The club met every other Thursday in the Machine Shop and planned their club projects at this time. The nineteen members elected Don Barfell, President; Bob Wiseman, Vice- president; Woody Graham, Secretary; Mike Erving, Program Chairman; and Mike Swartzel, Social Chairman. Often speakers from the factories and around Elkhart talked to the club concerning the activities and duties of a machinist. The speakers discussed wages, pension plans, and advantages or disadvantages of each type of job. These talks were help- ful to the club members in planning their futures. The club’s outstanding achievement of the year was their annual Christmas project of repairing toys and giving them to the needy children of the community. In the spring the club went on a field trip to Chicago. Activities The Amateur Radio Club of Elkhart High School is designed to aid those students interested in earning their Federal Communications Commission license. The club helps members prepare for the Novice Technician or General class by teach- ing radio code and theory. They meet every Tuesday and Thursday under the direction of Carlton Osburn, president; Jim Robinson, vice-president; Karen Mahoney, secretary; and Ron Holdren, treasurer. Among their more important events and activities during the year were satellite tracking and Field Day. Last year they placed fifth in the nation among radio clubs.

This year, be- sides decorating the halls for all the football and basketball games and tourneys, the club sold ‘’Go-Blazers-Go” pins and “Blue Blazer” license plates. For the first time, Pep Making posters for the tourney Club sponsored a Basketball Homecoming Queen. The event was presented at the last home game. The members also planned pep sessions; speakers were invited to speak at these sessions or skits were presented by the club members. The Pep Club also organized a bon fire at Studebaker Park before the Elkhart-Goshen game. Approximately twenty-five members met Mondays after school in the cafeteria to discuss programs for pep sessions, to plan activities for the club, and to have special committee meetings. Varsity Club Fifty-six boys who had earned a maior letter in one or more of the eight EHS sports were members of Varsity Club this year. Tom Lantz was elected President; Roger Kollat, Vice- president; John Chester, Secretary; Arlyn Guengerich, Treas- urer. Mr. Silcott was their sponsor. Promoting school spirit, developing closer relationships among athletes, and promoting better sportsmanship, the members worked on the dime line for four week ends, spon- sored the “Will Be—Has Been’ game in March, and gave a breakfast for all members at a regular club meeting in March.

G.A.A. is an athletic club for girls who are interested in improving their skills in various sports while also learning the } rules of good sportsmanship. The girls meet every Tuesday and Thursday in the gym with their sponsor, Miss Kendall. At these meetings they not only had discussions which helped to create attitudes of good sportsmanship, but they also prac- ticed their skills in such sports as volleyball, basketball and badminton. At various times during the year the girls had Playing badminton after school , Ae A — ; a chance to show their abilities in competition with other schools. The G.A.A. club also helped on the Dime Line as a service to the community. They completed the year with a Mother- Daughter banquet at which awards were given to the girls for their achievement.

At present, the sports program includes eight sports in which many blue and white clad athletes participate, making good records. The coaching staff is one of the best, and student support is good. Football, track and other outdoor sports are played on Rice Field, one of the finest in northern Indiana. The North Side Gym is the pride of the community; here, during basket- ball season, “Indiana madness” rocks the rafters of the huge gym. Athletes who wear the block E are honored, and the color and thrill of EHS games are an unforgettable part of the school year.

The life of an Elkhart athlete begins early. In fourth and fifth grades in grade school, the athlete begins his career by practicing hours in various sports in order to make the sixth grade teams. At this age, the young athlete is stimulated by his idols, the stars on the EHS varsity squads. Every young footballer or basketballer thinks of the day when he too will be an Elkhart High School athlete. Our grade school and junior high school coaches are aware of this ambition, and therefore do their best to prepare these young boys mentally and physically for their future athletic careers in high school. When the athlete finally grows to high school age, he realizes that this is the time he has been waiting for and takes advantage of his learned and practiced skills in mak- ing himself the athlete he wished to become many years ago. He works hard in practice and makes sure he is in good shape, which is necessary for success in any sport. He keeps in training and doesn’t forget to keep up his grades in school, a requirement for all EHS athletes. At EHS, the coaches are of the best quality in every way. They are not only terrific coaches in the sense of their ability to teach young athletes about a sport, but also in their ability to enccurage our teams to be sportsmen at all times. Our coaches all have sons of their own and are concerned about the welfare of each boy. Finally, our EHS athlete accomplishes his goal by com- pleting a season in athletics. Back in grade school he had planned for this long range goal. Now he has worked hard to achieve it. Now that he has achieved it, he is ready to receive his award from the school with his teammates. The award may be a giant “E” or it may be a trophy, but never- theless, whatever the award may be, it not only shows one season of hard work, it shows many, many years of wishing, working, and waiting. ; j ' 4 ; ‘ $ } i 4 E i 4 | ry | Bi } 4 . i i 4 i 8 4 ea ne a ne EHS Foothall Squad e On August 15, a large group of boys showed up at Rice | | Practice Began Early Field for football practice. Many of last year’s starters had | graduated but still a few stars were back with many promis- ing underclassmen. Working hard on those hot pre-school | days paid off as our season record showed. After three hard weeks of getting in shape, the Blazer squad started the season with a win over Hobart. In the opening quarter Elkhart took the kick-off and marched eighty- | five yards to score the first touchdown. Hobart scored on a | | long screen pass play with twenty seconds left in the second quarter, but the extra point was blocked by Joe Morgan and Steve Terlep. At the half the score was Elkhart 7 — Hobart 6. The second half of play was mostly a defensive battle. There was no scoring except for John Janzaruk’s fourth quar- ter field goal. The final score was 10-6. Elkhart kept up their fine play as they defeated Fort Wayne North Side 19-7. The big gun for the Blazers was Coley Webb, who scored all three T.D.’s. Roy Swoape also played a fine defensive game, making ten tackles. The third Blazer game was not quite so successful as the first two. They lost to Mishawaka 13-6. Although Elkhart scored first when Willie Bell plunged over from the two-yard line, Mishawaka scored twice in the second quarter and took a 13-6 halftime edge. The second half was scoreless, and Elkhart experienced their first defeat of the year. In the next game Elkhart tied with a very rugged South Bend Washington team.

Washington did not score until the last quarter. Several Blazers played their best game up to this date, in spite of a tie score. John Janzaruk carried the ball 103 yards in thirteen tries. Willie Bell and Al Trent made spectacular runs of 66 and 50 yards respectively. After their loss to Washington, the Blazers came back to defeat LaPorte 20-13. LaPorte took the lead in the second quarter and was ahead at the half 7-0. In the third quarter, however, the Blazers caught on fire and completed a 51 yard drive with Willie Bell plunging over the last two yards for a touchdown. Then, in the last quarter Al Trent ran the longest run of the year when he ran a LaPorte kickoff 91 yards for Elkhart’s second touchdown. Four minutes after Trent’s spectacular run, Bell again went through ihe LaPorte line for Elkhart’s third and final touchdown. South Bend Riley was Elkhart’s next victim. Although Riley scored in the first quarter, Elkhart came back in the second quarter to score on a 64 yard drive. This left the halftime score at 7-7. The third quarter was scoreless for both teams, but in the fourth quarter the Blazers drove for Fullback Swoape Ballard and McDowell move in for tackle Bill McDowell John Cleveland Star Halfback Janzaruk Quarterback Ferro but bounced back 79 yards, rolling up 4 of their 16 first-downs of the game. With seven minutes left in the game, Willie Bell ran the final 3 yards of the drive for the T.D. and John Janzaruk kicked his second consecutive P.A.T. for a 14-7 win over Riley. Elkhart’s outstanding pass defense held the Riley quarterback to no completions. Elkhart’s next game was against their old and rugged rival, Goshen. The game turned out to be strictly a defensive struggle. The only scoring in the game was done by John Janzaruk, who scored on a 4 yard run after a screen pass- and-run combination from Fred Brandt to Coley Webb had set it up. Elkhart played a magnificent defensive game by holding Goshen to a total of only 65 yards. The final score was Elkhart 7- Goshen 0. At this point in the season Elkhart had a 4-1-1 record in conference play, with competition remaining against two other conference opponents. The first of these was South Bend Adams. Adams took an early lead in the first quarter by making a touchdown, but Elkhart came back strong in the second quarter to take the lead, 7-6. The third quarter was scoreless, but the Blazers caught on fire in the fourth quarter when Jerry Ferro passed to Webb for the touchdown, which gave Elkhart a sure victory. The final score stood at 14-6 in favor of Elkhart. In the last game, the Blazers lost a heart-breaker to Michigan City.

Our Blazers ended up with a fine 6-2-1 record. Among those to be congratulated this season are the five EHS football coaches. First of all Head Coach John Jan- zaruk should be noted for the fine work he did with his material this year, as he has done in the past. Secondly, we must congratulate Tony Campagnoli who has been work- ing with Jan for years has developed into one of the best high school line coaches in the United States. Also we must mention Rollie Hoover, who knows about everything there is to know about backfield coaching. His coaching of our backfield men has sure shown results in the past few years. There were two newcomers to the EHS coaching staff this year. They were Harold Cavitt and Jim Bartlett. Coach Cavitt, in his first year with our football team was a tre- mendous help to both the coaches and the team. Jim Bart- lett, who by the way, was a former all-around athlete at Elkhart in his day, did a sensational job in coaching the Blazer Bees. All of these men inspired, guided and encour- aged the Blazer football teams all through a very successful season.

The EHS Football squad ended its fine football season with a special football banquet. The guest speaker was Ray Eliot, athletic director and former football coach at the University of Illinois. The Blazer players were all congratu- lated for their fine work and many players received trophies for special and superior efforts. Willie Bell shakes hand with guest speaker, Ray Eliot Among the award receivers were Willie Bell and John Janzaruk. Beli received the coveted Most Valuable Player award and Jan received the Most Valuable Offensive Back award and the Most Spirited Player award. John, by the way was the only player to receive more than one trophy. Another award receiver who must be mentioned with praise is Roy Swoape who received the trophy for the most tackles. Roy had a real fine season and will go down in EHS football history as one of Elkhart’s best linebackers. Steve Bock, offensive guard, was named by his teammates as captain of the team. He also received the Best Offensive Lineman award. : Others who received awards were Dave Pippenger, Best Defensive Lineman; Bill McDowell, Best Defensive Back; Al | Reames, Dick Janzaruk, Lucky Miller, Most Pass Interceptions; and John Chester, Most Downfield Blocks. Nine Blazers receive awards | | 130 Basketball As soon as football was over at Rice Field, basketball began at the North Side Gym. The Blazers had a good season and carried their victories into the semi-finals at Fort Wayne. i ee lt me i ee ee { { i | } 4 j i } j 4 H : q i H i i i 4 132 A tense moment at tourney time Boy Cheerleaders: Doug Smith, Rich Jackson, John Hardy Varsity Cheerleaders: Mary Ann Yoder, Carol Kemble, Judy Cawley, Betty Cittadine, Charlene Haines CHEERBLOCK, Yell Leaders add Color to Blazer Games The Cheerblock is one of the best known clubs at EHS because it is active at all home basketball games. By lead- ing cheers and setting a good example, the Cheerblock fulfills its purpose of promoting school spirit and good sports- manship. The club, sponsored by Miss Pray and Mr. Baldridge, met every Wednesday evening at North Side Gym to practice formations, new cheers, and discuss problems recently en- countered. This year the club had the opportunity to take a trip to Fort Wayne in order to back the Blazers at the semi-finals. This, however, was not the only trip taken by the club; they also accompanied the team to several regular out-of-town games. EHS Cheerleaders have made a great contribution to the spirit of the student body, and have worked hard to add color and pep, not only at the games, but also at the pep sessions. They achieve their positions on the varsity cheering squad through competition, they maintain the same eligibility as the athletes, and have the respect of the school as leaders. Miss Kendall is their sponsor. Although boy cheer leaders had been talked about for some time, they were not really organized on an effective basis until this year. Working with the girls on routines, they too added color and enthusiasm to the basketball games. mente nee wenae Ant AEE LEAS AR EERE ILE SILICA LL LALLA ERI LILLE LE LIONEL LA A NT eR NOI SAL OLE ELLE L A OLR PALE OER AAA AS one s The EHS Cheerblock in E formation w 3 £ te a - = ° - © x) a a) © ” 2. o a § oi ¢ s po, he Se SE ERR N BML YS oF SF eT A post-game check on the scorebook Coley drives in for a basket Kollat out stretches opponent Fu 134 The Blazers opened with two wins Our Blue Blazers had little trouble with the opening game of the ‘61-’62 basketball season, beating the Penn squad 58-43. The Blazers showed fine possibilities with good team play. Three days later Elkhart went to visit the Nappanee Bulldogs in their new gym and walk ed away with a 55-39 victory. However the first real test of the many tests coming up was staged the next Friday at East Chicago Washington, where our Blazers lost to eventual runner-up State Champs 46-62. The following day Elkhart bounced back to polish off the Marion Giants 65-58. Elkharts’ first conference game was played at LaPorte. Fetter lays one in Blazers on a fast break Before Losing to East Chicago Washington The Slicers upset the Blazers with a controlled game edging them out 38-39 in a last minute thriller. The following week th e Blue evened its conference rec- ord at 1-1, beating the Mishawaka Cavemen 73-48. In the second game that week-end Muncie handed Elk- hart a 54-58 defeat. The Blazers led most of the way but fell behind in the final seconds of play. After playing the number two and number thrée teams in the state, East Chicago and Muncie, it was only proper to play the number one team, the Kokomo Wildcats. Elkhart made a fine showing but failed to hold Jim Ligon, losing 60-70. In the Holiday Tournament Elkhart walked away with honors by defeating Hammond 76-71 and South Bend St. Joe 69-51. The high point of the tourney was the scoring of big John Serbin in the night consolation game: 48 points against Valparaiso. In their next game Elkhart started out a brand new year by defeating the South Bend Washington squad 87-64. When our Blazers went to Indianapolis to play Attucks, hardly anyone gave them a ghost of a chance. Surprising everyone, including Attucks, they traded leads throughout the ball game, losing in the last seconds by two points, 60-62. Elkhart managed to keep a hot streak throughout the entire Michigan City game to run away to a 82-66 victory. For two more contests our Blazers stayed red hot, down- ing an inspired Richmond team 76-68 and running over a troubled Fort Wayne North team 74-60.

Elkhart knocked off Goshen and Fort Wayne Central by identical scores, 54-49. The games were very similar. In both Elkhart had early leads, lost them, but regained a slim five-point lead at the final whistle. The last victory of the regular season came with a 74-56 triumph over South Bend Riley. This was our homecoming night; maybe the queen and attendants inspired the boys. After defeating South Bend Riley we got the South Bend blues, losing to South Bend Adams in an overtime 58-60 and to South Bend Central 68-76. These last two defeats gave us a 6-3 conference record, good for third place, and a 13-7 season record, Finally came the State Championship games. Our Blaz- ers ran over Jefferson 91-34 and Penn 84-47. The Big Blue were still tournament hot when they handed Goshen a fat loss 80-62. In the afternoon game of the Regionals, Elkhart trounced Bourbon 81-48. The Blazers then met the South Bend Central Bears. Remembering an early loss to the Bears, the Blue jumped to an early lead and maintained it for a 66-62. Elkhart was paced by Webb with 25 points followed by Lantz with 21. The following Friday the student body gave a rousing send-off to the team as the Blue Blazers headed for Fort Wayne to do battle with the Fort Wayne Central Tigers. It was a nip and tuck battle but Elkhart came from behind to win 61-58. Then at night for the Semi-State Championship, our Blazers met with the highly rated Kokomo Kats. Elkhart jumped to an early lead and led at half-time, but fell behind Bickel reaches for a rebound 136 ... and finished with a 19-8 record in the last minutes of play. Elkhart played its finest game but so did Kokomo, as they won 73-70. Dutch Struck, Athletic Director at Hanover, was the guest speaker at the basketball banquet which ended the basketball season. Of course, the major part of this banquet was to honor the team, and the team honored itself by select- ing three Most Valuable Players, Tom Lantz, Roger Kollat, and Coley Webb; and three tri-captains Tom Fetter, Tom Lantz, and Bill Bickel. Other trophies were awarded to: Most Rebounds, Coley Webb; Free Throws, Roger Kollat; and B-team Free Throws, Dave Hunn. B-teams are supposed to be the varsity’s little counter- parts, except someone forgot to tell our B-team this. Backed by 6-4 Dick Penrod and 6-5 Ted Reasoner, our little Blazers fought for a fine 17-3 season record. Other regular players were stand-out guards Dean Foster. Gregg Yoder, Dave Hunn, and Don Johnson. These six players supplemented by three forwards 6-1 Dave Anderson, 6-1 Chuck Richardson, 6-0 Stanley Gill were Coach Jerry Hostetler’s backbone to quite a tremendous B-team. The Elkhart Bees lost only to S.B. Riley, $.B. Central, and Kokomo. This meant they defeated such teams as Muncie, Attucks, and Goshen twice. The scoring was evenly distrib- uted with Yoder leading with 117, followed by Gill with 108, Reasoner with 94, Penrod close behind with 92, and rounding out a starting five Foster with 83.

These three boys qualified by finishing no lower than second in their divisions in the sectionals. Bobby Thomas was the only Blazer Matman to go down to state and he did a marvelous job finishing third in the state in the 95-pound division class, and he’s only a junior.

With the support, however, of a few talented seniors and a terrific coach the Blazers have come along in fine shape. Some of the very outstanding men from last year’s squad are pitchers, Mike Smith and Jeff Bradley, and outfielder Shortstop Jerry Ferro Tom Fetter. Smith and Bradley alternate the pitching chores and playing the outfield. Using this method, Coach Jerry Hostetler can use his available talent. Because of many rained out games early in the season, the Blazers have a crowded schedule in the last weeks of their competition. In their latter games in May, the Blazers have looked much better in all around strength and should end the season wita a good record. Blazers Bradley, Smith, Cittadine, and Fetter 139 Tennis Team has another fine season Although Coach Grover Smith and the EHS tennis team were plagued this year by injuries, they compiled a fine 6-2 record and tied for second place in the E. N. I. HAS.c: Only two lettermen returned from last year’s squad— Tom Lantz, a senior, and Dennis Kulp, a junior. However, four newcomers to the varsity showed much progress during the season and played a major part in developing Elkhart ’s fine record. Tom Lantz and Tom Zience, both extremely valuable to their team’s success, will be lost through gradu- ation. The Blazers had a slow start by dropping their opener to Goshen 5-0; but they bounced back to defeat South Bend Adams 3-2, South Bend Riley 5-0, and Michigan City 3-2. In their next match they lost a heart-breaker to South Bend Central, 3-2, but redeemed themselves once more by whipping LaPorte and Mishawaka by identical scores of 4-1. They completed their fine 6-2 record by defeating a very rugged Fort Wayne North team 3-2. 140 EHS Tennis Star, Dennis Kulp ee ee eee ie Pas Tennis squad: Bottom row, left to right—D. Kulp, D.

Since mo st of Coach Harvey’s young Harriers were under-classmen this year, we may expect a very good show- ing next fall. | i i { , i u Bi f } j i 5 } ; rn 142 Hurdler Walt Wise Track Coach Matt Ronzone, upon his return from Germany this year, met an enormous job in rebuilding the Blazer thinclads after losing many of last year’s stars through graduation. To almost everyone’s surprise, however, the Blazers compiled a 7-1 record in their first eight dual meets. The one loss was to Fort Wayne South by only one half of a point. One of the biggest surprises of the year was Steve Ter- lep’s early record in the shot put of 53’ 912’”. This put broke Jeff Slabaugh’s EHS record of 53’ 1%” in 1959. The sur- prising thing about Steve, though, is that as each time he throws the shot it travels a little bit farther, breaking his own record at each meet. Other performers who have done well this season are Walt Wise and Dean Trindle in the hurdles, Jerry Harper in the 100 yard dash and the broad jump, Denny Howard in the 220, Bob Escue in the mile, Steve Williams and Bill Frost in the 440, John Chester in the 440 and high jump, Al Reames and Ron Reif in the pole vault, Tom Billings in the 880, and Steve Campagnoli in the shot put. With the most important meets of the season yet to come, the Blazers are expected to make a very fine showing in every event.

Hunn Stone practices on his swing 144 Golf Although the Blazer Golfers had only one returning letter- man from last year’s squad, they have compiled a fine 4-2 record. Among the top prospects for this year’s squad are seniors Bob Stone, only returning letterman, Chuck Conway, and Steve Brown. Backing up these seniors are junior, Wallie Wise and sophomores, Greg Yoder and Dave Hunn. Although the Blazer scuad is compiled largely from in- experienced underclassmen, the team as a whole is expected to improve greatly as the season matures. Because there is no EHS golf course, Coach Max Bell and his Blazers use three different courses for practice and matches. On alternating days they play at Elks, Elcona, and Four Lakes Country Clubs. This way the boys receive ex- perience playing on different courses at different times. Whatever is done with this rambling old building in the future, it will always be remembered and revered as the center of a com- munity that wanted and supported good schools. In the following pages you will find the advertisers who have made many of the deluxe details of this book possible. 145 RAE AEE TEETER RA NR RRR LT RR ‘ | 4 3 4 3 f { } 4 i i } i i ; i 4 } { !

The Constitution adopted gave it the name of the Municipal Junior Advisory Council. The objects of the council, as stated in the consti- tution, are as follows: The objects of this council shall be to foster, promote and extend activities, facilities, high ideals and ethics of conduct in all phases of leisure time in the City of Elkhart. These objects shall be reached through conferences, demonstrations, sponsorships when advisable and other means to provide for the wise use of leisure time. Membership of the council is composed of five seniors, four juniors and four sophomores of Elkhart High School. Some of the specific activities of the organization are cooperation with the Y-Teens Council, sponsorship of special activities of the Parks and Recreation Dept., sponsorship of the annual dinner of the Parks and Recreation, adop- tion of the code of laws for conduct at dances con- ducted by the Junior Advisory Council and the Y-Teen Council. The rules of conduct adopted by the two councils are kept in operation during the vacation months in the summer and the council sponsors summer vaca- tion dances which are held twice a week in one of the parks. The council is a member of the State Youth Association and attends the Governor’s Con- ference on recreation each year. Just last January the council held its first tenth anniversary dinner at which time all past presidents were invited and the program was conducted by the ex-presidents of the council. Although the Junior Advisory Council is an advisory organization, it wields a great influence in the lives of the young people of Elkhart, through suggestions and conferences and other means to provide for the right use of leisure time. 193 Congratu lations lO The Class of 62 CORPORATION Elkhart, Indiana _ exclusive distributor of _ Artley flutes and piccolos When you think of fashion and quality, think of drake's!
