Proceeds paid 4 was the popular phrase on for the Gary Karr concert. the tip of every tongue. This statement of spirit and faith in Blazer ability was backed up by a winning football team. Spirit soared as the Elk- hart Central-Memorial game drew near. At a Wednesday pep session, Doc Wilson re- lated how the ‘Old Mangy Lion’ told him that it didn't want to leave Central. A spirited bonfire and pep.session on Thursday evening helped give extra support to the Big Blue. The ‘Old Mangy Lion’ and Blazer fans were thrilled by the 7-0 defeat of the cross-town rivals. On the following Monday a pep session was held for _ ‘the football team and the cross-country runners. Not only had Elkhart Central kept the lion but it had also captured the state cross-country champion- ship.

Noontime happenings such as a ‘Dating Game’ and ‘Mr. Legs Contest’ were sponsored by the NHS. Enjoyed by students and teachers alike, these were sure to bring.some laughs and usually made the day a little more pleasant. Even though the basket- ball team had one of its worst seasons in winning only two games all year, the Blazer team never gave up. Throughout the year, the sc hool paper, The PEN- | NANT, made ‘improvements as it tripled its circulation, and doubled its size and ads income. With special supplements, the paper covered every- thing from discrimination against girl athletes to cre- ative poetry, prose, and art. At the NSPA convention in San Francisco during spring vacation, Elkhart Central’s yearbook was awarded the Herff Jones ‘Citation for Excellence’. This award was given to the top yearbooks in the. na- tion. Whether it was because of special honors or achieve- ments or for other reasons, Central students took in- creased pride in themselves and in their school, ‘re-af- firming their earlier claim.

Instead of taking just ju- nior or senior English, Cen- tral students were able to select from a smorgasboard of courses designed to fit particular interests and needs. (see pp. 32-33) Twenty teachers were in- volved in trying to relate there was always a time to laugh, as when wrestling coach Rollie Hoover bet his drug abuse students that Bobby Riggs would defeat Billie Jean King in the well publicized tennis match. Bobby and Rollie both lost. And Rollie wore a skirt to class the next day! It was mainly in daily happenings that true Blazer spirit showed through.

By midafternoon, how- ever, the sun had disap- peared behind the dark scowl of a thundercloud. Soon, the rain began. Although Blazer plans for a bonfire and pep ses- sion were worried by the rain, spirit wasn’t dampened any. Mother Nature smiled on Central and stopped the rain about 7:00 p.m. Cheers, chants, and ap- plause greeted the team as they arrived on a tractor pulled wagon, and the fire blazed into a symbol of hope and spirit. Spirit reached its ultimate Friday evening as the Big Blue Blazers resoundingly smashed the rivals.

If’ a pass on the LaPorte two yardline hadn't been dropped, the game probably wouldn’t have been lost in overtime. If, if, if. In what had the looks of being a great year, Central opened against rival Goshen thumping them soundly 33- 15. Some late minute he- roics pulled out a slim 9-7 win against St. Joe to put the Blazers at 2-0. However Washington pulled a minor miracle in winning 25-22. Central added two shakey wins against Riley and Adams before dropping two ina row to Mishawaka and La- Porte. Kurth often had praised the senior corp as one that never quit when things got tough. When the record went down to 4-3 they hung together and won the last three games and posted the predicted “7-3 in '73.” In those last three games Central came alive holding opponents to 15 points while scoring 74. Seven of those 74 came against Me- morial in one of the more thrilling and controversial games. Marty Phillips scored for Central with just min- utes to play for the only score in the defensive game.

These visitors included Indiana’s Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, the cir- culation manager of the Elkhart Truth, and several black speakers during Black History Week, February 10- 16. A Community Design Seminar was held for art, math, and drafting students in the fall. Community planning and design were discussed on two days. Winter brought the Indi- ana Repertory Theatre which presented ‘Servant Of Two Masters’’, a two- hour play for English classes.

Ms. Sharon Papa’s | 106 classroom was judged best decorated with its Mr. B Santa Clauses and its gener- ous use of fir branches. Even the driving snow didn’t cancel the Underpriv- iledged Kids Christmas Par- ty which was sponsored by the Student Council. An ex- cerpt from ‘‘Winnie the Pooh” was shown and after- wards the kids had the privi- ledge of meeting Pooh, Eyore and Owl. Ms. Ann McDougall’s drama class also performed “Winnie the Pooh” before some 600 elementary stu- dents. Deep snow and sparkly flakes enhanced the Winter Wonderland Dance at the Hotel Elkhart on December 26. Couples in semi-formal dress danced through brightly colored Christmas scenes. Because of the snow, school was closed at 2:30 the Wednesday before va- cation. Over 10.7 inches of new snow fell. Several surrounding area schools were closed down for the holiday—although Central resumed on Fri- day. Most of the teachers and students showed up—the rest decided it wasn’t worth it.

Much like last year, the Blazers fielded a small club because of the general lack of height. Sophomore Tom Glanders was the tallest member at 6’ 4’ on a team that averaged about 6 feet. Craig Smith led the Blue in scoring this year with a 14.8 average. Craig was also named the teams’ most val- uable player. Bob Davis and Marty Phillips were the lead- ing rebounders. Next year Central will have a new coach in George Leonakis from South Bend. Carl Hughes resigned after two years at the post.

Basketball 35 36 Cheerleaders, Pep, Glub , sal eg hy , y ag i Cheerleaders, Pep Club re-ignite spirit Having a 7-3 winning football team and state cross-country championship helped spur spirit in the fall. Aiding this spirit was the Central cheerleaders and Pep Club. The cheerleaders put in many hours of hard practice behind the scenes. Both groups spent many hours after school and on weekends decorating, bak- ing, and promoting school spirit. Things went smoothly during fall sports but when winter came the spirit seemed lost. Thanks to the cheerleaders and Pep Club however, the spirit was re- ignited at the Central- Memorial basketball game. A cheerblock was formed and posters were made. Even though the outcome of the game was a loss, the spirit Central exhibited topped that of cross town rival Memorial. Not only were the cheer- leaders cheering at the games but they also were winning many awards. The varsity placed first in the 4H county fair and captured seventeenth in the state fair. They also came home from Smith Walbridge camp with the Coca-Cola award, the highest award given at the camp. LEFT—Pep Club. FRONT ROW— Julie Ball, Deb Bellamy and Vicki Walters.

The Leg’s Contest gave male students and teachers a chance to compete for the best looking pair of legs. A large audience attend- ed the Dating Game which was a take-off from the tel- evision show.

Then came 1973 and 1974. Two new phrases en- tered the average Ameri- can’s vocabulary: Watergate and the Energy Crisis. Very few people had heard of the Watergate A- partments in Wash., D.C. before June of 1972. And then, when they did hear of it, it was just mentioned in a news bulletin concerning a few ex-ClA agents who had broken into the Democratic National Headquarters there and had been caught. It was not until almost one complete year after the break-in that James Mc- Cord, one of the thwarted burglars, told a story that linked high names in our government to the break-in. People such as Jeb Ma- gruder, John Mitchell, Mau- rice Stans, Charles Colson, Egil Krogh, Bebe Rebozo, and even Howard Hughes were mentioned in revela- tions concerning the scan- dals and secrets of the Nix- on Administration. And so, Watergate ceased to be the name of apart- ments. A modern day Thes- aurus would list it as a syn- onym for bugging, dirty deals, tricks, illegal cam- paign contributions, tapes, price hikes, and tax evasion. One of the few good things that evolved from the scandals was the increased amount of participation in government by most Amer- icans. Students enrolled in A- merican Government classes at Central High School were polled concerning their views about impeachment, the President’ s role in the the role of politicians in general. Responses ranged from complete and total support of the President, such as that of Ann Borneman, who simply answered all ques- tions ‘‘No,”’ to that of Mary Jo Sartorius, who just as emphatically answered “Yes.” Taking sides in favor of the administration in gener- al, and the President in par- ticular, were Mike Chaffee, Carl Boynton, and Steve Nusbaum. Nusbaum commented that Nixon ‘‘had no reason to do it’’, while Chaffee said that, ‘‘l don’t think he’s done anything that bad.” Carl Boynton defended the President by saying, “‘Nixon has done a pretty decent job. Better than Mc- Govern or Wallace could have done.” However, Ellen Green Stoltz was convinced the President had engaged in il- legal and immoral activities. Ellen’s comment was that “‘There’s no way he couldn’t have known about it.’’ She also feels that it is wide- spread among the politi- cians of our time. As proof, she said, ‘‘Look at all t he White House officials who have been thrown in the jug. Look at Spiro Agnew.” Spanning both streams of comment without setting foot in either was Terry Current, who made the statement, ‘‘President Nixon should be impeached, but he should be convicted if and only if the facts prove him guilty. Even as public opinion grows toward con- viction, we must not forget that everyone is innocent until proven guilty.” Tapes released by Presi- dent Nixon in early August ended the agony. Revela- tions that Mr. Nixon had, in fact, lied to the American public as to his early knowl- edge and cover-up of the Watergate break-in destroyed all Congressional support for the President, and in an address to the nation on the evening of August 8th, he announced that he was resigning, effective August Oth. Gerald R. Ford, himself an appointee to office, be- came President, and imme- diately tackled such pro- blems as inflation and am- nesty. President Ford also announced that he would appoint Nelson Rockefeller as his Vice-President. Watergate affected our theories of government, our political doctrines, and in some cases, our votes in the primaries. The Energy Crisis, on. the other hand, affected our ideal nes and our pocketbooks. It was not difficult for students at Central High School to remember gas _ selling for twenty-nine cents: ‘per gallon. | ‘It was with amazement, shock, and finally, remorse, . that they watched the price rise to an average of fifty- six cents per gallon, and — often higher. We were urged to con- serve energy. We endured lower classroom tempera- | tures, lower home tempera: — tures, and less extra money. We also were forced to en- dure letters to the Elkhart Truth complaining that stu-: dents should not be allowed to drive during the crisis, as _ it was a waste of energy. As in Watergate, there was at least one advantage to the energy crisis. As a nation, we learned to con- serve. It is in times like these that people, young people in particular, savor such sayings as, ‘The darkest hour is right before the dawn.” Hurry, morning. Issues Concerns 41 Not too many people really know the nature of the much discussed crisis facing the Elkhart Commun- ity School Corporation. Many people, however, are willing to voice. vague ap- prehensions and specula- tions as to what it will do to education as we know it. CLASS SIZE-- room’‘s learning atmos- phere.”’ On the other side of the fence, however, things do not appear quite as cheerful. According to Mr. David Vollmar, math © teacher, “The potential for class size. increase is great.’’ Mr. Pol- lock, speech teacher, DOEG MT AFFECT STUDENTS? One of the more para- mount questions is whether or not class size has any af- fect upon education, and then, whether or not class sizes are currently too high to administer the ,learning process. The administration’s an- swer to the former of the two questions is taken from an abstract. It states, ““Re- search .does indicate that most teachers feel that re- duced class sizes are impor- tant, and that in the interest of teacher morale, these feelings must always be con- sidered... reduction of class size produces no. appreciable difference within the class- The Pennant increases in pages, ads income, readership, creativity 42 The Pennant Class Size predicts that “Classes will probably continue to get bigger.” Unlike the Addit. tion, many teachers at.Cen- tral do not agree that cur- rent sizes are not affecting _ . their ability to teach and their students’ ability to learn. As a dramatization of this, Ms. Duwe reports that her last hour class currently numbers 44 students. _ Also Mr. Young has _ vol- unteered to “team” teach with her in this class. Ac- cording to a master class size chart, each Humanities course ‘taught by Mr. Van Young numbers upward of 35 students. Ms. Duwe adds “Outstanding Journalist of the Year’”’ award was pre- sented by Mr. Kenton Mon- jon, adviser, to Chet Martin for his efforts in improving the newspaper. An increase in pages, ad- vertising, and subscriptions kept the newspaper on a sound financial basis. In the May issue of PHOTOLITH, Editor Mar- tin told how he used special supplements to increase ad- vertising revenue. The newspaper also went to a magazine style format which allowed for more creri ativity of design. also” that ‘‘With this number of students in class you cannot have as much individual in- struction.

Ray Bierbaum also re- ported on the problems of financing the athletic pro- gram. Creative writing, photo- graphy, and sketches were published in two special Penpoint supplements. In May the staff of the newspaper and annual com- bined for a Pennant Publica- tions Banquet. reports an average ‘ - teacher can not handle. the increased work load. Papers cannot be graded — as quickly, and consequent- ly, not as many are assigned. Speeches are few and far between, because there is not time to hear them all. Special projects have all but been eliminated in sev- eral classes, because of the tremendous amount of time needed to counsel with the teacher concerning them. the quality of education in Elkhart.) She compares our schooling to a movie of ed- ucation, tionist merely asking, “How much of it did you catch? There’ll be a quiz tomor- row. No projects She feels that as a teacher by the large classes. She Ms. Little feels that this” has caused a severe drop in — with the projec- — r . reports that if she assigned — projects, halted for over two weeks. As. for grading, it now takes her as long as 4 weeks to properly grade a set of papers. She adds, “If you're going to do a bad job, and simply mark them B or C, and then would only allow 15 minutes per student for personal instruc: tion, class progress would be g 4 % _you faicht as ; well not grade ‘them.

But she adds that if you let down _ the teacher, you let down “the students.

If the kid really needs the course, ‘she is being let' down when there’s not a teacher in this building that would turn him or her down .. . but _ there seems to be a prevail- ing opinion that the teacher just doesn’t matter.”’ Ms. Ethel Thorn also feels limited by large classes. She stated that, “The larger class sizes limits the giving of creative assig nments which take time to grade. Larger class sizes also make innova- tion less likely—a teacher is too busy with attendance and. other clerical work to be inspired to be creative. | really feel strongly that | am unable to give as much © attention with individual classes over thirty.” _ Perhaps the most Critical review of these effects goes back to Ms, Duwe. opinion, these overburdened classes, with teachers not able to give as they have wanted to, and as they should, “have reduced the Elkhart Community School Corporation toa third or fourth rate corporation in class size and curriculum.” Students suffer She adds that ‘“Teachers can’t break their necks. We can’t dowas much, and we won't do as much. Students will suffer.” An unnamed member of In her the faculty believes that there is the money to retain an entire staff. In her opin- ion, the letters sent to the 60 first year teachers in early April, informing them that they would not be re- hired for thes 1974-75 school year was just a ploy on the part of the adminis- tration to knock the wind from the sails of the ECEA’s bid for salary increases. (Of those 60 teachers, all but 24 have been reemployed by the Elkhart Community Schools Corporation as of this date.) According to Dr. Miller, “That was never discussed by the Board of Education “or the Administration in any way.” Dr. Miller stated that he in no way wanted to hamper the power of collec- tive bargaining. The Superintendent ex- plained that the letters were sent to the teachers due to the fact that, by state law, all teachers not on tenure contracts have to be inform- ed of their status by April 15, and since the Corpora- tion was not sure of their financial. standings. at that time, the letters were mailed. Dr. Brenniman stated that there would be only one cut in faculty at Central High School, and it was not pro- jected to be in the English Department, as previously thought by many faculty members. Still another charge level- ed by a faculty member was that a negotiator had been hired by the Administration to keep down salary prob- lems. Dr. Miller confirmed that this had happened, but he stressed) that it was not an increase in personnel, but rather, a decrease. The. new Administrator will perform the duties of two offices consolidated as of this years He also will be in charge of all due process hearings where a student is involved. Both Dr. Miller and Dr. Brennimanwstress the fact that he is not “just a negotiator.” One conclusion might be that the problem isn’t get- ting a lot worse.from one year tothe next=but a large area of controversy is mere- ly whether or not it is a large problem now. It is enough to know that the problem exists, and that it is going to affect our ed- ucation. Even Dr. Miller will admit to this. The handling of the prob- lem is the core of the con- troversy.

Since there has been a cut in the school’s finances, the physical education's bud- get has in turn been cut. This; according to Ms. Mary Kendall, girl’s phy- sical education instructor, has resulted in poor equipment and not even being able to repair them. Ms. Kendall mentioned also that tennis and bad- minton raquets are in such bad condition that they have to be repaired nearly every class period. Gymnastic equipment, such-as the horse and the parallel bars, are in such bad shape that most of them are not even usable and quite dangerous if used. A student’s physical education program begins with the decision of what division of swimming the students will be entered, whether it be beginners, intermediates, or ad- vanced. From then on it will vary from indoor sports, such as badminton, bas- ketball, and gymnastics to outdoor sports, such as tennis, baseball, and track, depending on the weather.

Over 120 players that made up 16 teams and two leagues came to the gym two nights a week for fun, enjoyment, and some exer- cise. Director Dave Duthie plus three other teachers had the unenviable task of refereeing the games to make things as legal as pos- sible. In the Monday night league, the Du-Roos and the Roundballers tied for the title with just one loss. The Du-Roos led much of the year until losing their sec- ond to the last game by just one point.

They may have gotten some suggestions from var- ious career units which have been introduced in areas like English, Social Studies, Math, and Science. In science class students did an experiment with pho- tomicrography. Each stu- dent selected and photo- graphed various specimens. This experiment was tied in with careers by seeing how the local police depart- ment, the hospitals, and the F.B.1. use the procedure. Ms. Connie Fahey and Ms. Lucy Terlep used career units in English classes. Units ranged from selling a product and job interviews to writing papers and re- searching a certain career. In Mr. Russell Busse’s math classes, students did a report on a career they were interested in. The job de- scriptions consisted of find- ing information about salary, educational require- ments, aptitudes, and pro- motions. Mr. Robert Ellis’ history classes had many guest speakers who represented various professions. A new English course next year is Ms. Terlep’s “Where Do | Go from Here?’’.

Sewing students learned all the techniques used in sewing and designing their own clothes. As a break in the routine, special guest speakers talked on merchandising and fab- rics and also on alterating. Also a field trip was taken to Smollers to see how clothing was made. Home Design classes con- structed model homes il- lustrating styles from dif- ferent countries. Foods class 111 wrote menus of the par- ticular country while cloth- ing classes made doll cos- tumes. This display was loaned to the elementary and junior high schools.

Only four students made profits while the rest of the class lost money. A prize was given to Kevin Emery for making the highest prof- it of $340, also Craig Smith received a prize for having the greatest loss. “Whether it’s for balanc- ing a check book, typing a term paper, or managing a business; the courses are practical,’’ commented Ms. Virginia Ogren, head of the business department.

Members were divided into several groups that worked on their numerous activities. Among these are the Noontime Happenings (see pages 38,39), the Christmas dance, ‘Winter Wonderland’, the placing of the Christmas tree on the top of the school’s porch roof, and visiting the Turtle Creek Nursing Home. At the nursing home, members worked with the mentally retarded, teaching them to read and write, something they have never learned. At present NHS is work- ing on a ‘Mr. B.’ that will be placed on the porch roof of the school. In Student Council there have been many changes made this year. Several meetings were held discus- sing changing or developing acompletely new student constitution. The constitution would give the students much more power in making de- cisions on projects, etc. As a result of the lack of student interest, the Stu- dent Council had only a few projects. In December there was the annual Underpriviledged Children’s Christmas party. At the party, Santa Claus (Brent McFarlin) gave out presents to all of the chil- dren. Cuttings from WIN- NIE THE POOH were also a part of the entertainment. ABOVE RIGHT—Officers place the NHS Christmas tree on the porch roof of the school.

First year coach Denny Shippey had several top notch swimmers, but with the scoring change, depth was what counted. One of the top tankers was sophomore Jay Herreld. Swimming Jay was named MVP and was the only Blazer to make it to state along with setting several school records.

Coach Volmar had a problem that many other coaches would have liked to have had. Volmar had seven golfers who could shoot around 80 or better but he didn’t know who to play. Central won its first 18 matches of the year before being defeated by LaPorte, then surprised by Kokomo Hayworth. With help from Adams, Central and LaPorte met at the Elks for the con- ference title and the Blazers won by 18 shots. Central had several high points during the year. One was a 309 total at Oak Hills against Wawasee. Another was a 299 total at the Elks where Ralph Montagano fired a 5-under par 67. Montagano was MVP for the second year in a row.

Caroling + concerts + Canada = Choir Caroling, concerts, Cana- da, and rehearsals made the choir year fly by at a rapid pace. The highlight of the choir year for the Concert Choir was their trip to Toronto, Ontario, Canada in April. The choir was received in Toronto at the Riverdale Colligate Institute with warm smiles and Canadian hospitality. Four concerts were scheduled and the remain- der of the time was spent enjoying the highlights of Toronto with their billets. Among these were Casa Loma, the Royal Ontario Museum, Ontario Place, and the breath-taking view from 55 flights up in the Toronto Dominion Bank. Soon after the beginning of school, rehearsals began for the Christmas Concert. The selection from the MESSIAH was “‘For Unto Us A Child Is Born”. Memorial and Central’s Sacred Concert was held in the First Presbyterian Church. This concert in- volved only the concert choirs from both schools. The concert was the “Re- quiem”’ by durufle. Theron Kirk was com- missioned by the choir to compose a piece for the Concert Choir of 1973-74. Entitled the “Psalm Verses”’. it was performed many times in Canada and in the Spring Concert. Commencement was the last performance of the Concert Choir in which they sang ‘’Master of Hu- man Destinies”’. Kandi Washburn | wins state championship Frank Beard is best new member Producing Elkhart’s only state speech champion in many years was the high- light of the 1973-74 season for Central’s speech team. Kandi Washburn capped a speech career of three years by capturing first place in Discussion. Speech contests involve a lot more than most people realize. Members of a team participating on any given Saturday must be at the high school at 5:30 A.M. and will return to the school at approximately 6:00 P.M. A banquet for members of the speech team was held in Central’s cafeteria on April 21. The banquet was a joint effort of both Cen- tral and Memorial High Schools. Several awards were given at the banquet. They in- cluded the Galen Wenger Outstanding Senior award, which went to Kandi Wash- burn, the Outstanding New NFL Member award, which was presented to Frank Beard, and a special award to Melanie Morgan for be- ing in the state meet. “E”’ letters were awarded to Kandi Washburn, Chet Martin, Carol Mackey, Carol Rooker, and Mary Berkshire in speech, and to Kandi Washburn, Chet Martin, Tom Schrock, and Cindy Jacobs in debate.

Prom 8g9 ‘‘Be yourself— it’s the one thing you can do better than anyone else”’ = Class of ’74: ret end of era Truly, an era ended when the class of ‘74 of both Elk- hart Central and Memorial graduated. This class was the final group to attend any classes at the now demolished Sophomore Division. It was a proud thing for members of this class to say, ‘Once we were one.” And yet, Elkhart Cen- tral’s graduating seniors were far different from Memorial's. Central’s high regard for individuality car- ried through to the theme “Be yourself—it’s the one thing you can do better than anyone else.”’ Using this Ethel Merman quote, Kandi Washburn and Chet Martin spoke on “‘The One Thing” and “That Un- 90 Graduation travell’d World.” A total of 406 students graduated from Elkhart Central. Many were ac- knowledged for high aca- demic achievement during the ceremonies by Dr. War- ren Brenniman, Director of Secondary Education. Students were given their diplomas by any one of the seven members of the Board o f Education. The Graduate Register was read by Mr. Al Bias and Mr. Eugene Hun- gate. Mark Klassen, one of the top students academically, led the seniors in prayer. Graduating together were Martha Bean and her father, Ralph, a night school stu- dent. wei - a LE ait LANG, 2. 1 FRE tay rn TOP—Head Coach Randy Miller gives signs to one of his hitters while coaching at third base.

Ranked in the state’s top twenty for much of the year, the Blazers played in streaks winning up to seven in a row and losing up to four. Pitching and hitting depth were the big reasons for going over the 20 win mark. Four hitters were over the .300 mark and three pitchers had 6 or more wins. Several players had out- rank third in conference standing years for Coach Miller. Phil Pixley was named MVP, Kurt Hostetler chosen for the all-confer- ence team, and Jim Wisko- toni hit .360 and won seven games. Memorial proved to be the thorn in Central’s side again. After beating the Chargers twice in regular season by the score of 5-1, the Blazers lost 2-1 to them in the sectional. Wiskotoni no-hit North- ridge in the first game and gave up just one hit to Memorial in a losing cause.

After a tour of historic St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London, and other sites, the rest of the day was free. On Friday there was a tour of London's West End and an evening concert. Saturday, a concert was performed on the steamer as the band crossed the En- glish Channel to Amster- dam. This was the beginning itinerary of a tour that also included Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France. Concerts were given in the Bavarian town of Din- kelsbuhl, in Salzburg Konig- see, Liechtenstein, Lucerne Engelberg, and Paris. An exhausted but happy crew of band members, fac- ulty, and parents arrived back at Chicago on July 6. As one band member said, ‘It was hectic, it was tiring, but it was wonderful ...an experience I'll never forget.” CONCEéeRY YOUR Foreign language studies helpful In anticipation of their trip to Europe, band mem- bers attacked their foreign language studies with re- newed spirit. To these students, the practicality of a foreign language was easily appar- ent. Band members were heard everywhere mouthing such original one-liners as “Parlez-vous francais?’’ and Guten Tag.’’ Both are phrases common to the countries, France and Ger- many, to be visited by the group. Special handouts were given to students on traffic signs, menu listings, and other helpful information. Cultural lectures became a large part of class, and dis- cussion of European tourist spots provided an area of in- terest for teachers and stu- dents alike. While Spain was not on the European trip, Spanish students did take a field trip to the El Cid (see pp. 72-73) Cafe where they savored a touch of Mexico. ¥ ao ‘ , . ®. pS i att Om STs.

Noting that Elkhart once enjoyed the reputation as an “‘educational lighthouse district’, he said that the recent trend in state funding and lack of local options for funds a community would desire to expend on educa- tion has eliminated nearly all aspects of such educa- tional improvement. “The crisis will continue unless something is done to raise the base level of rev- enue currently frozen by act of the Legislature.” Dr. Miller also pointed out that inflation is under- mining existing programs and preventing the addition of much needed new pro- grams.

It is an often-coined phrase that says, ‘School is not a baby-sitting service.” However true this might be, it would be rather hectic to join together 1400 students in one building without some authority and over- seers. At Central High School three such overseers com- prise the administration. These three men are respon- sible for discipline, atten- dance policies, enforcement of school regulations, par- ent-teacher relations, special activities, and really, just about everything that goes on. They are Dr. Richard Wilson, Principal, Mr. Eu- gene Hungate, Vice Princi- pal, and Mr. Alfred Bias, As- sistant Principal. Dr. Wilson became Prin- cipal of Elkhart High School in 1970, and in 1972, when the schools split, he chose to remain at Central High School. In the years he has been at Elkhart, most students have found him to be a man unlike most principals they have known. Dr. Wilson has spanned the barrier of age and has reached the stu- dents in a way that astound- ed most faculty members and youth alike. It was with great regret that we learned Dr. Wilson would be leaving Central High School on July 8, 1974, when he would as- sume duties of Superinten- dent of School at the West- view School Corporation in LaGrange, Indiana. Many wonder if we will ever have another principal with the warmth, humor and and discipline that Dr. Wil- son displayed.

In a poll taken by 92 ECHS students, 35 re- plied they had a job, 57 said they didn’t. Out of the 35 who had a job, 21 said they would not like it as a full-time job, 8 were undecided. Those who did not have a job were not work- ing because of lack of time—24, no particular reason—9, couldn't find one—6 or for some other reason did not have a job. Forty people did have a job at one time or the other, 17 did not. The reasons for quitting the jobs they had were main- ly because of lack of time, dislike for what they were doing, or for some other miscellaneous reason. According to those who responded to the poll, the perfect part- time job would be one with plenty of pay, working with people and one that prepared you for the future.

Twelve Juniors made it. Preparations for the ‘74 Central Junior Senior Prom were arranged by the 1975 Junior Class officers. In ad- dition to the Prom, was the “Salad Set” sales which Angela Cantrell Kenny Cantrell David Carr Gerald Casselman Melanie Cataldo Jeffrey Cealka Cindy Chaffee Ellen Chappell Cynthia Chrisman Bettena Clay Ed Cleaveland John Coddens Shelly Collins Michael Comer Jerry Conard Valerie Conley Mary Bety Cook Steve Cook Sarah Cooke Randy Cooper Scott Corner Doug Coss Randy Coyle Craig Craft Greg Craft Chris Crain ERic Craven Lisa Dausey Peter Denton Mike Derrenberger Steve Detwiler David DeVincent Jeff Dinehart Nancy Dobson Scott Doty Teri Douglas Diane Dovey Tim Downey Al Downs Jon Duncan Tim Dunham Deb Duvall Mary Jo Eakie Patricia Eastman Linda Eber Stanley Edson Bill Edwards Bob Elder Robert Eldridge Kevin Emery Lynn Engle Doug Evans Mary Fara Sally Farmer Randy Farrell Sabrina Feldman took place before Christ- mas. Proceeds of the sales financed the Prom. The Prom decorating committee was headed by Bill Merryfield. Other than the decorating committee, there were eight other com- mittees which took care of such small but important things as publicity and re- freshments.

One change was an in- crease of class electives in the English Department. Until last year, many classes were segregated according to grade level. Courses such as Creative Writing and the American Dream were then opened. SAT tests were given five times throughout the year. The final test, the SAT Achievement Test, was given May 4. The PSAT test was given only once, in Oc- tober. Girl’s State (a week-long political seminar) was held at |.U. in Terre Haute. Del- egates were Junior girls in the top third of their class. Applicants had to show in- terest, ability, and honesty. The two ECHS delegates were Kris Schwerha and Kathy Lewis. ore academic opportunities FAR LEFT—Heinz Grubert thinks over an answer during Newspapers, Magazines and Society class.

The Prom was held May 11 in the ECHS cafeteria. The Breakfast was held in the Electric Circuit. ‘‘Uto- 142 Juniors Prom pia’’ provided music. In the center of the “Land of Oz stood the Wizard's own balloon, which was engulfed in an array of geraniums. To the side was a pearly fountain, in which rippled a small goldfish pond. Side-stepping tradition a bit, ‘74's ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road ’ was a semi-for- mal affair. Though tuxs and formals were not required, many students preferred formal wear. Attire for the Breakfast, like always, was casual. As in the past, tick- ets for the Prom Breakfast were free, although dona- tions were accepted to de- fray the costs.

Many discovered a big difference between junior high and senior high. Not only was Central a new school but it contained new friends, new ideas, and totally new surroundings. What do the sophomores feel are the main differ- ences? “The teachers in junior high seemed to care a lot more.” Sue Weaver Pierre Moran Junior High “You have a lot more freedom at Central. In ju- nior high you’re all pinned mu up. Robin Southard Brookdale Junior High “The office isn’t as dif- ficult with you at Central.’’ Kenneth Heinrich Northside Junior High ““At Wawasee | lived with the guys | went to school with and the classes were smaller.’’ Mark Stephenson Wawasee Prep School “| just feel much older now that I’m in high school.” Milissa Forbes Brookdale Junior High ew friends, new ideas, new surroundings FAR LEFT—Top 19 Sophomores Academically.

To most students, Drivers Ed was more than a class. It was a dangerous and mem- orable experience.

Even with the problems and struggles of learning how to drive, most sopho- mores agreed that it was fun. The following quotes were taken from students who felt that their most memorable experience was... “Driving on to Johnson St. Bridge and then having to back up in the middle of the intersection to avoid hitting a truck.’ Debbie Albright “Going around curbs at forty miles an hour.” Callie Caton “Boobie trapping the in- structors seat and turning the car radio on full blast.’’ Karen Virgil “When Kirby Elliott shifted from first gear to fourth gear.”’ Tim Butler FAR LEFT—Sophomore Drivers Ed- ucation student, David Williams, con- centrates on learning to drive.

Whether the spirit was seen in the sophomore ath- letes or the sophomore fans, they've been working for the school. Just by walking down the school halls and peering in a locker or looking at the walls, you'll find the word Blazer displayed proudly. Sophomores have also taken part in spirit lifting activities such as pep rallies, painting posters, and selling items for school clubs and sports. They have also taken a part of their time to par- ticipate in these activities. Everywhere at Central the sophomores have been helping to prove that the Blazers are indeed alive and strong.

During available moments you'll find them begging rides from juniors and se- niors to go to lunch or hav- ing a game of frisbee on the front lawn. Some go swim- ming in the school pool while others enjoy walking around the area. When sophomores were asked about what they did during their leisure time, they replied: “At lunch you'll find me playing tennis or in the win- ter having a snow fight.” Steve Campbell “I’m always dodging fris- bees and footballs on the school lawn.” Stacey Levan “| usually just enjoy sit- ting on the front lawn and talking to friends.” Pam Foley a Aireyre eee RTE mre lsd LEFT—Enjoying extra moments at Central is Mark Monroe tossing around a frisbee on the school lawn. or just walking around occupies sophomores James Ramza Brenda Ray Delois Reaves John Reed Tony Reyes Bill Rhodes Casey Richardson Catherine Rick Catherine Robinson Karen Robinson Kelly Rock Sharon Rodkey Alexander Rodriguez Katherine Rolfson Greg Rose Timothy Rose Kurtis Royer Imants Rozitis Tammy Rudolph Michael Russell William Russo Jeffery Rutledge Pam Sanders Frank Sandlin Phillup Schlabach Deborah Schlundt Stephen Shrock Cheryl Scott James Scott John Scott Florence Seabott Sherrie Seal James See Lin Shafer Donzelloe Sharp Barbara Shepherd Charles Simmons Joyce Simpson Kennith Sims Michael Si ms Sarah Singleton Terry Sites Sara Slaughter John Smeltzon Martin Smith Martin A.

At 10:55 A.M. third hour is released and lunch begins but comes to an end at 12:05 with three more afternoon classes to follow for most students.
