SITE OF GEORGE ROGERS CLARK FOREWORD There’s an old adage which tells us that “Life’s a circus,” and perhaps there is some truth in it after all. Life, like the circus, can be amusing or tragic, thrilling or disappointing. Our school can also be compared to a circus, for what factor is more influential in the life of a student than the school he attends? George Rogers Clark is our circus, and we are the perform- ers in its three great rings. Just as in the circus, Clark students can choose the part they wish to play to help make the show a success. Each one can develop his own interests or abilities. No one must be only a spec- tator if he has the drive and spirit to show his talent as a performer. What would the trapeze artist be without the man who sets up his bars and swings? How could the clowns be successful without the customers who make their amusing garb? Even if one’s part in the great circus is a small one, all students can be performers in the Greatest Show on Earth.” It’s time for the grand opening of the 1949-1950 show season. The music blares, the spotlights gleam and the circus begins! Sunlight spotlights some performers as they leave a morning workout. 4 PERSONALITIES Pages,6 4i ACTIVITIES — - ATHLETICS — - UPPER LEFT: Hungry Five jazz up some German folk songs.

Patti Hefflon and Earl Clark were selected for having the nicest eyes. JUNIOR PLAY Just as the circus contrasts laughter with suspense, the Class of 1950 ' s dramatic attempts combined the humorous and serious aspects of the stage. Ramshakle Inn, a mystery-comedy in two acts, was presented to an appreciative audience on April 29, 1949. The plot evolves around an old inn in New England, which is purchased by a certain Miss Belinda Pryde (Rosemary Richlik). Belinda and Commodore Lucius dowser (Bill Ullrich), her fiance, soon find themselves entangled in a suspenseful mystery, involving a dishonest banker, a shady hotel manager and a mob of dangerous thieves. Further complications arise with the discovery of a body in an old trunk, and the arrival of a mysterious doctor and his wife. This strange couple is accom- panied by a young woman who appears to be in ill health. Later it is discovered that she has been drugged. Unfortunately the blame for these strange incidents falls on the shoulders of Bill Phillips (Ed Uhles), son of the previous owner of the inn. In spite of strong evidence against Bill, he is considered perfectly innocent by his sweetheart, Mary Temple (Juanita Freeman). With amusing heroism, little Belinda manages to unravel the mystery and clear Bill of all guilt. The ending of the play is a satisfactory one, for the ring of thieves is captured, and Belinda receives a handsome reward. “Ramshakle Inn” will be long remembered as an exciting and hilarious production. 10 Poor Alice (Rosalyn Chalko) gets pushed around by l)r. and Mis. Russell (Bob Brown) and (Pat Merko). Belinda Pryde (Rosemary Rich- 1 Ik) is caught in her favorite listen- ing post. It looks as if Dr. Russell (Boh Brown) and Patton (Tom White) have the situation well in hand. SENIOR PLAY Dowager Lady Ingram (Nadine Winkelried) takes a Hop at a most embarrassing time. Rochester (Glen Ingraham) and Jane (Ella Rliee Kissen) take their curtain calls with the supporting cast. The moving drama Jane Eyre,” adapted from Charlotte Bronte ' s famous hook, was presented in November of 1949. The scene was the main parlor of Thornfield Hall, a mansion owned by Mr. Edward Rochester (Glen Ingraham). When Jane Eyre (Ella Rliee Kissen) is hired as a governess for Rochester ' s ward, Adele Varens (Janice Ault), she does not realize the importance that this new position will have on influencing her life. Inexperienced and shy, Jane is be- friended by Mrs. Fairfax (Pal Benko), the housekeeper of Thornfield Hall. Nevertheless Jane is not entirely happy, for there is a mystery about the house which she cannot understand. The second act introduces a group of Rochester ' s well-to-do friends, including Lady Ingram (Nadine Winkelried); and her daughters, Blanche (Patti Hefllon) and Mary (Pat Kee). Blanche wishes to marry Rochester for financial reasons, but he secs through her clever ruses. Besides, he has become more and more attached to Jane. He is in the act of declaring his love for her when the door of the west wing opens, and a fiendish creature (Shirley McKibljen) with matted hair and wild eyes rushes out, declaring that she is Rochester ' s wife. Shaken by the knowledge that Rochester was forced to marry a mentally-unbalanced woman, Jane leaves. One year later she returns for a last visit, to find that Rochester ' s wife was killed in a fire and that he has lost his eyesight. Jane decides to remain with Rochester. 11 The Glass of 1050 was proud to pre-sen i. 1 I’laces,” in honor of the graduating Seniors ai were rewarded, oil May 27, 1940, at Madina ' s land, with an attendance larger than any in history.

B. Miller, who has been guiding George Rogers Clark High School for 17 years. Through his perseverance and patience, GRC has become one of the region’s most outstanding schools. Besides his duties as principal, Mr. Miller maintains the position of President of Board of Controls of the Indiana High School Athletic Association. He is also a member of the executive council of both the National Forensic League and the In- diana Secondary Principals’ Association. Last year Mr. Miller was president of the latter. Mr. Miller is to GRC the ever-helpful agent toward greater achievement. Many irksome duties are connected with the administration of a school, but these tasks do not cause any worries to the cheer- ful, competent office staff, composed of Mrs. Mabel Brown, Miss Elsie McCrea and Mrs. Florence Schroer. Helpful and efficient, they give the school a prevailing atmos- phere of friendliness. The names George Rogers Clark School and Principal R. B. Miller are almost synonymous. Here our “prince-of-a-pal” poses in front of his favorite school ' s name plaque. I.efl to Right: Mrs. Flor cnce Schroer, Miss Elsie McCrea and Mrs. Mabel Brown. 16 THE BEST TRAINERS IN THE BUSINESS The purpose of a school is to help its students to become clear thinking, responsible adults. Sure- ly this task would he impossible if a well-trained, efficient faculty were not on the job. Our teachers instruct us in two main ways. First, they help us learn the necessary fundamentals we should gain from our courses. Second, they set an example of dependability and citizenship which all of us can try to follow. This year the Future Teachers of America Club was larger than ever before. Its membership was made up entirely of students who wish to become teachers, following the example of our own fine faculty members. Besides being our instructors, the faculty members are also our Iriends. Sympathetic, helpful and kindly, they spend many hours outside of class discussing problems which may trouble us. Much more time is spent sponsoring extracurricular activities or special projects. No, a teacher’s job is not done when his classes are through. Every (acuity member is ready to sac- rifice extra time and effort for our benefit. It is interesting to note that no new faculty members were added during the 1950 school year. All of the teachers from the previous year returned to their positions at George Rogers Clark. Many of our faculty members traveled extensively during their holidays and the summer vacation. Two of them were fortunate enough to travel abroad. Miss Mary Louise Collins visited in Sweden, while Mr. Arthur Erickson traveled in England, France and Belgium. The Board of School Trustees supervises the operating of the entire Hammond Public School Sys- tem. The pres ent board, under the leadership of Superintendent Lee 1.. Caldwell, includes Dr. Henry Eggers, Mr. Donald Gavit, Mr. Gerald Gillett, Mr. Charles Scott, Mr. Columbus Smith, Mr. Archie Spoerner, and Mr. Walter Thornton.

Edward Allison, president; Richard McClaughry, vice-president; Ella Rhee Kissen, secretary; and Donna Kaban, treasurer, as- sisted Miss Hazel Holland, class sponsor, in planning a prolitahle four-year tour. The first one-night stand was a dance, Rainbow Rhythm, held on April 12th. iJls . . . Results of the first year on the road proved that our group of trusty performers were in the black.” During the second year Richard McClaughry was the circus manager, assisted by Pete Stamos, vice-president; Juanita Freeman, secretary; and Mary Vladika, treasurer. The second big performance was another dance, the Pumpkin Prom- enade,” held in October. 1949 ... By the beginning of the third year the Class of ' 50 was a group of veteran troupers. At last they pitched their big tent and settled down to two final years of diligent rehearsals and shining performances. The star attractions of the ' 49 season were Tony Brenkus, president; Jonathan Kuzminski, vice-president; Juanita Freeman, secretary; and Bob Adams, treasurer. A dance, “Starlite Interlude,” was first on the program during mid-term exams. “Ramshackle Inn,” an amusing mystery play, kept the audience spellbound on April 29. The most exciting event that took place under the big top, however, was the long-awaited Junior Prom, Far-Away Places,” held at Danceland on the night of May 27. Green and yellow were selected as the class colors, with the yellow tearose as the class fiower. The motto which was selected is “Knowledge in youth is wisdom in age.” Caroline Swenson was elected class historian. 1950 . . . The turning point of the century, and a new cast of outstanding performers was chosen. With Gordon Smith cracking the whip and assisted by Bert Tiemersma, vice-president; Ella Rhee Kissen, secretary; and Earl Clark, treasurer, the circus trouple entered its last year of show business. Two of the main events that took place during this final year were a play, Jane Eyre” and the Senior Dance, Fantasy in Frost.” With mingled feelings of sorrow and joy the circus troupe ended its season with a final performance — graduation on June 9. Then the Class of ' 50 broke company, packed up their tents and moved out on their own, an- ticipating successful solo performances in the future. 26 MARY ANN ADAMS Noll Central 1. 2, 3. JANICE R.

SPONSOR OF THE SENIOR CUSS Before the varied activities of a high school class can be carried on efficiently and smoothly, the group must have the guidance and advice of a capable adult. The Class of 1950 was fortunate to have Miss Hazel Holland as their class sponsor. The administration of a high school class is not an easy matter, for many long hours of work are involved. Miss Holland unselfishly gave of her time and effort to make the class functions profitable and successful. Because of her industry, loyalty, and capable management, she has gained the admiration of all who have worked with her toward making the record of this Senior Class a successful one. 39 JUNIORS JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Stavros (President), McCrea (Treasurer), Miskus (Vice-President), Mrs. Rebekah Eddy (Sponsor), Kessler (Secretary).

Emphasis was placed on the safety problems of the school and included the congestion of the stairways and run- ning in the halls. Through the Student Council, Clark was able to continue the aid to the adopted schools in Bremen, Germany. 48 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Twenty-two seniors and three juniors received the honor of being appointed to the National Honor Society this year. Includ- ing the four seniors chosen in their junior year the total member- ship is twenty-nine. Each year the faculty elects fifteen per cent of the Senior Class and five per cent of the Junior Class to join the NHS, which is sponsored by Miss Pearl Yocham. Qualifications necessary for membership consist of fine char- acter. leadership, service and scholastical rank in the upper third of the Junior and Senior Classes. Dick Cravens, president; Raleigh Vobach, vice-president; Caroline Swenson, secretary; and Ella Rliee Kissen, treasurer; were the four seniors selected in their junior year. FUTURE TEACHERS The purposes of the Future Teachers of America are: 1. To encourage young people to cultivate themselves the qualities of personality and character which are the foundation of successful teaching; 2. To acquaint young people with the inspiring story of schools, the part free schools have played in the development of our democratic way of life and the heroic pioneering associated with their establishment and expansion; 3. To provide young people with scientific information about opportunities in the various fields of education. Students intending to enter the profession of teaching are eligible to join this organization. Sponsored by Miss Pearl Yocham, guidance counselor, this organization undertook such projects as the story-telling hour at the Rupp Branch Library and teaching part time in the elementary grades.

It was organ- ized under the sponsorship of Miss Leota Kenzie as a result of the Clark girls being asked to dance at the 1949 Hammond Music Festival. Modern Dance is an art based on the creative use of body movement. I hrough additional practice and study the girls gain a better understanding of dance than might be achieved in physical education classes. They are contributing to their physical well-being through this activity and also are improving their understanding of music and art as well. At the physical education demonstration the girls presented their composi- tion, “In a Persian Market.” The music was Ketelbey’s composition by the same name.

FORUM CLUB The Forum Club of George Rogers Clark is an organization which tries to give its members a better understanding of current social problems. In order to do this lectures, panel discussions, documentary films and prominent speakers are presented to the members. Membership is limited to senior students taking government or modern problems. This club gives these members a chance to participate in open, free discussion. This year participants of the club elected Richard McClaughry, Clifford Mitchell and Dorothy Peters to hold the offices of president, vice president and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Mr. Arthur Erickson was sponsor of the club. 51 Y-TEENS A new system was introduced this year to the Clark Y-Teens. In- stead of having a meeting of the entire club every other week the club was divided into three groups according to grade classification. These groups under the direction of either Miss Leah Booth, Miss Elizabeth Lyle and Miss Marie Nordvig held as many meetings as they thought necessary. One meeting of the combined groups was held each month. With such capable leaders as Shirley Cunningham, president; Donna Kaban, vice-president; Leona Dudas, secretary; Janice Ault; treasurer; and Miriam Blood and Betty Nisle, members-at-large, the Y-Teens came through another year with great success and many accomplishments. The main project of the entire club this year was to help the needy families of the community. Baskets of food, clothing and toys were taken to these families at various times. Other charitable duties performed by the girls were the making of stocking dolls for the orphans, knitting of afghans and mittens and sending candy bars to Europe. Entertainment for the girls was provided in many delightful ways. The Hi-Y and Y-Teen banquet, and a Hi-Y and Y-Teen roller skating party were two of the outstanding events. Other important happenings of the year were the formal initiation which was held Wednesday, September 28, 1949, and Christmas caroling at the orphanage. Membership in the Y-Teens is open to any sophomore, junior or senior girl who desires to join. The purpose “To find and give the best,” and the slogan, “To face life squarely” are expected to be car- ' riecl out by all members.

If one can’t find it himself a member of the Library club will gladly assist him in locating it. Besides serving students the club members perform various other duties. Included among these are the checking in and out of books, taking attendance during study periods and keeping the shelves in order. The newest addition to the library this year was a picture file and a record machine. The use of both of these was available to students and teachers. Again this year the group bought and decorated a Christmas tree which was placed in the library. The fund raising project this year was quite the same as in preceding years. Members of the Li- brary club sold Christmas cards, address books and other small articles. 54 ART CLUB Making the decorations for the Winter Concert and submitting their paintings to the annual Poppy contest were the two main projects undertaken by the Art Club this year. Miss Beatrice Northstrum, assisted by Miss Janet Jones, who came to Clark this year to help Miss Northstrum with the three art classes, directed the students in their numerous creative activities. Joyce Tisconcik was elected to lead the group as president. Aiding her were Ray Szymanski, vice- president; and Rosemarie Lucksa, secretary-treasurer. Stanley Boleck, junior, won an honorable mention and a tool chest lor his entry of a plaster ol Paris model car in a contest sponsored by the Fisher Body Craftsman’s Guild of Detroit, Michigan. ■I SEATED, ROW 1: Hargrove.

LATIN CLUB To acquire more knowledge of the life of the Roman people the four Latin Clubs under the guidance oi Mrs. Rebekah Eddy, sponsor, for the first time received newspapers written in Latin. These papers were read at their meetings. One of the main projects of the clubs this year was securing records which they played during the meetings. They are hoping to obtain a machine of their own for these records. T his will be another project to undertake in the future. 56 SPANISH CLUB Led by Miss Hazel Holland the Spanish Clubs had an active year learning about our Latin-American neighbors. Writing letters to students in Arizona and New Mexico has been one of the main projects undertaken by the clubs. This year the Spanish Clubs gave an assembly in which the students did the “jarbe tapatio” otherwise known as the Mexican Hat Dance. In the spring of the year both classes went to Indiana Harbor for a typical hot tamale feast at a Mexican eatery. ROW 1: Adams. Krieg- er (President), Camp, Lie- berum.

HI-Y Because of its rapidly increasing membership, the Hi-Y for the first time in its history, has been divided into two major divisions. They are the Senior Hi-Y, consisting of juniors and seniors, and the Junior Hi-Y, made up of the freshmen and sophomores. Displaying good Christian living as mentioned in the club’s purpose, both groups donated their services in various ways throughout the school and community. The Senior Hi-Y, under the guidance of Mr. Paul Wilkinson, elected Raleigh Vobach as their pres- ident. Raleigh was also chosen president of the State Hi-Y. Other officers are Richard McClaughry, vice-president ; Ted Hill, secretary; and Jonathan Kuzminski, treasurer. Running movies during assemblies, distributing bottles of milk to grade school children and put- ting up signs in the halls were a few of the many projects undertaken by the Senior Hi-Y. Mr. Edwin Martin led the Frosh-Soph group during their initial year. Ramzy Selim served as presi- dent of the group and was assisted by Bob Ringgenberg. 58 PHYSICS CLUB Through trips and experiments, the Physics Gluh or Phys-kids as they are commonly called, have broadened their knowledge in technical inventions of our present day. As sponsor, Mr. Edwin Martin led the young scientists in their various proj- ects. The club elected different officers each semester. During their semi-monthly meetings, the group saw movies and heard talks that aided them in understanding the difficult subject of physics.

PIONEER NEWS Under the guidance of Mr. Gerald Royer and the editorship of Ella Rhee Kissen, the Pioneer News started off the school year by adding four new features to the paper. These were “That’s Life,” an editorial cartoon; “We’re Asking For It,” a column giving students a chance to express their opinions on controversial issues; “Moccasin Prints”, a column devoted to contributions from students; and “Per- sonalities Plus,” an honorary senior biography feature. By becoming members of the Keen Teen Club, staff members have had the opportunity to inter- view celebrities such as Vice-President Barkley, Lena Horne, Peter Lawford, Johnny Lujack and Dan- ny Kaye. The Pioneer News received its thirteenth All-American rating from the National School Press As- sociation and was also voted the best mimeographed paper in Indiana and one of the top three in open competition throughout the state, thus receiving the Hoosier Headline Award. Mr. Royer, along with two delegates, attended a conference at Franklin, Indiana. This was the annual convention of the Indiana High School Association. 62 NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE The members of the Clark National Forensic League, composed of debate and speech students and coached by Mr. Arthur Erickson, participated in many activities this year. The group engaged in poetry reading; radio speaking; dramatic, humorous, oratorical and original declamation; and extemporaneous speaking at various meets. First place in the Indiana schools was the ranking they received when they attended an invitational speech meet at Thornton Fractional High School. On April 15, the students journeyed to Terre Haute, Indiana, for the state National Forensic League meet. Ella Rliee Kissen won first place in girls’ extempore speak- ing: Caroline Swenson, first in poetry speaking; and Raleigh Vobach, first in boys’ e xtempore speaking in this contest. Two highlights of the year were the trips to the Goodman Theatre in Chi- cago, to see “Joan of Lorraine” and “Hamlet.” SEATED: Bahlke, Cravens, Lynn, Brown, Adams.

This was the high rank attained by this year’s varsity debate team. Mr. Arthur Erickson coaches the group. The timely question debated by the students this year was. Resolved: that the President of the United States be elected by the direct vote of the people. On December 2, the members of the team traveled to a debat ers’ conference which was held at Purdue University. Here they enjoyed a banquet, a concert by the Purduvians and a discussion of the question for this year. The members who compose the varsity team are Ella Rhee Kissen and Raleigh Vobach, affirmative; and Richard Cravens and Caroline Swenson, negative. To top off the season, the varsity debators won the state championship and entered the nationals. This was the first time that such an honor has been be- stowed upon Clark. til JR RED CROSS With a larger membership than ever before, the Junior Red Cross was organized under a new sys- tem. Two members from each homeroom were elected to make up a club council. Various workshops for knitting, art-work, sewing and woodcraft met informally to do service. Caroline Swenson served as president of the club which is sponsored by Mrs. C. M. Olson. Vice- president Leona Dudas, secretary Diana Wiley and treasurer Jack Fisher assisted her. Betty Nisle and Donald Zurbriggen were elected as representatives to the Hammond Council. Under the supervision of the Junior Red Cross, the school adopted the Carmelite Home lor Boys. The students made nutcups for Thanksgiving, bedsocks, checkerboards and stuffed toys. I he members also cared for the book cart in a ward at St. Margaret’s Hospital and made scrapbooks for the patients. The club sponsored a dance, “Welcome ’50’s,” in January. The proceeds went into the Junior Red Cross fund. SEATED. ROW 1: Poppen. Talabay, Bobalik, Ihnatuk, Ole- nus, Vavrek, Prokocki. Smilka, T. Condo, Gerike, Freeman, Ault.

SAFETY PATHOL Acting as guards to see that all was safe during the circus performances were the faithful Safety Patrol members. I nder the guidance of Mr. Alvin Peterson, the Patrol turned in its usual splendid record of essential service to the school. Facli boy in the club was assigned hours during which hi safely guided students across streets. Some members kept order among the fans during the football games. George Christoff presided as captain of the patrol. As a reward for their hard work, members of the Safety Patrol received letters and monograms after putting in a re- quired number of hours. The Service Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Ellen Vincy, is a little-praised but necessary part of Clark school. 1 his year as usual the duty of the girls was to care for the elementary grade pupils during the noon hour. The pupils remained in their rooms while two Service Club members, one a n aide from the junior high school and the other a senior high member, went to the rooms to take over the direction of the children. Lockets are awarded to those who have four years of service in the chib, while a letter is given for two years of service. There were no officers for this club because every member carried an equal share of responsibility. SEATED, ROW I: Zagrocki, Zei- eznik. Dvorscak, Dolak, Hein, Ster- bavy, Krysinski, Lelito, Dafcik.

At both basket- ball and football games the Band boosted Clark spirit with its marches and school songs. The elementary school, not to be left out of the Band’s busy program, enjoyed a Christmas Concert. The annual Win- ter Concert which was next on schedule, could well be called a “pop” concert, for many familiar marches and other light numbers made up the program. In February members of the Band vied against individuals of other schools in the regional music contest. Those who re- ceived first place traveled to the state contest. Instead of entering the state band contest which conflicted with a debate meet held on the same day, Mr. Snider made plans to take the band on a two day trip to Bloomington. In the spring Band members again competed with students from other city schools in a solo contest at Hammond High School. After the annual music festival and spring concert under- classmen bade the seniors farewell and hoped that their next year at Clark would be successful.

VOCAL MUSIC The vocal music department, under the guidance of Miss Wilma Range, participated in many col- orful events this year. The various groups composing this large department were Triple Trio, Double Sextet, Mixed Chorus, Boys’ Glee Club, Girls’ Choir and Treble Clef. Two new clubs were organized this year. These were the Boys’ Octet and the A Cappella Choir. Only advanced students could participate in these two groups. All these, except the Triple Trio and Double Sextet, meet during regular school hours. The main events in the program of the music department this year were the annual Winter Con- cert held on December 8; “Holiday Cruise,” the spring performance; the state music contest and the Spring Festival at the Civic Center in May. 72 BOYS GLEE CLUB Interested boys could join the Boys ' Glee Club to raise their voices in more masculine songs.

Although the A Cappella Choir was a newly organized group, it had a very busy and successful season. The choir sang for the Lions Club and also for the Y-Teen initiation. During the middle of the year this group performed for the teachers’ convention in Gary. Because of the difficulty of singing without accompaniment, the choir was limited to those who could pass the rigid try-outs. 76 STAGE CREW The Stage Production Staff, under the supervision of Miss Oza Cunningham, rendered many hours of their services to make possible the performances held in the school auditorium. To apply make-up, control the lights and take care of properties and cos- tumes were but a few of the many duties performed by the Stage Crew members under the guidance of stage manager Don Zurbriggen. Behind the scenes these people took part in the senior and junior plays, concerts and various assembly programs. The requirements for a stage letter were 120 hours of actual stage work, ff a student had an additional 120 hours he was rewarded with a bar to be placed on the letter. This year 25 Seniors were on the Stage Crew. SEATED FRONT: Wagner, Lucas. SEATED: Stof- cik. Olio, Byers, Kubayko, Horina, Zubay, Walker, Wretzky. STANDING: Zvijak. Ambord, Ignatuk, Franks, E.

These strategists must not only plot their own plays, but also must detect opponents’ plans. Unsung heroes of the games were the managers, Fred Krause, Don Poppen and Ted Blahunka. Seeing that equipment is in perfect order and assisting the coaches are but a few of their many responsi- bilities. RESERVES KNEELING: Quisenberry, Kovach, McCrea, Zubay, Girman. Zahrndt, Dupin.

FOOTBALL With only four lettermen returning from last year’s varsity football team, the Clarkites experienced a mediocre season, winning four games while losing five. Clark’s varsity began the season with a rousing victory over Griffith by a 27-0 score. Then the team lapsed into a slump, losing to Roosevelt, Marinette and Hammond High on the three succeeding Fridays. The Pioneers regained the victory trail by defeating Tolleston 7-0. The next week the Aldrichmen journeyed to Grand Rapids, Michigan, there, crushing Creston High School by a 33-12 score. After return- ing home and having a week’s rest, the Clarksters two game winning streak was broken by Hammond Tech in an ex- citing contest that ended with Tech on the victorious end of a 27-13 score. The next week the Clarkites downed Horace Mann only to be defeated by Whiting in the last game of the season. The 1949 season, although unimpressive in wins and losses, had many thrills to offer. Long runs by Tony Brenkus, long passes from Alex Lourik to Damon Franklin or Bert Tiemcrsma, vicious line bucks by Jonathan Kuzminski and fierce tackles by Orest Catchur and Bob Mat- usko brought the fans to their feet over and over again. With the experience gained by both the coaches and the team this last season, next year ought to be very successful. Boys returning to form the nucleus of next season’s team from the 1919 varsity team arc Orest Catchur, Damon Franklin, Marcus Hmuro- vich, Jerry Kozak and Don Myer.

Friendly Coach Ed Shields directs the attack of the Pioneer basketball squad. It is his job to get the most out of the players in order to bring victories home to Clark. UPPER: Kenneth Quisenberry, John Leisge. CENTER: Tom Burosh. LOWER: Eugene Rolph, Steve Dupin. Six wins and sixteen losses. The above record is one which any team would not be proud of, but when one considers the facts and obstacles that the 1949-50 GRC basketball team had to face, this record seems more impressive. The main obstacle which the fighting Pioneers, coached by Ed Shields, had to overcome was their lack of height. With three of the starting five well below the six-foot mark and playing teams most of which averaged at least six feet, it is not hard to see what a disadvantage this lack of height would be to any team. The Blue-and-White, plagued all year by this lack of height, played against all odds in a true Clark spirit. Although the victories were few and far between, the Pioneers never gave up hope and fought to the final gun , in every game, regardless of the odds. The fact that the Pioneers were never beaten until the final gun sounded, stands as a tribute to a team small in stature, but big in spirit. Reaching their peak in the sectional tourney, the Shieldsmen defeated Hammond Tech 57 to 54, in an over- time contest. In the quarter finals the Clarksters fell before Griffith, 57-50. All season the fighting spirit of the team reflected upon the student body in such a way that they supported their team wholeheartedly. This enthusiasm reached its peak, just as the team ' s did at tournament time. Coach Ed Shields stated, Never in my nine years at Clark has a team been supported so whole-heartedly at tournament time.” While Coach Shields was inspiring the team with a hall-time speech, the managers, Richard McClaughry and Adolph Schuhrke, were kept busy wiping the sweat from team members. They also kept statistics and looked after equipment.

LOWER LEFT: Three high hurdlers, Tie- mersma, Rolph and Whitworth, jump high to clear the barriers. LOWER RIGHT: Tracksters puff and pant during a daily workout. TRACK Clark’s cindermen, plagued with early season illness, opened an average season with an indoor meet with Hammond Tech. Participating in three triangular meets and seven dual meets, the Clarkites journeyed to Chicago University, Indianapolis, Mishawaka and Purdue University. Under the able direction of Coach Joe Franklin, the Pioneer tracksters ' prowess increased as the season matured. Boasting no exceptional performers, balance was the strong point of the “50” squad. While snow blanketed the track, the strong odor of sweat could be noticed through the lower halls as Assistant Coach Concialdi put the boys through their paces. CROSSCOUNTRY Running four or five miles each practice day and two miles during each meet are routine for the GRC harriers. The only requirements for participation in cross country are endurance and the will to win. Coach Ed Shields’ cross country squad opened an above average season by downing their arch rival Whiting. The harriers proceeded to capture victories in three of their six dual meets. In addition the Blue-and-White thinly-clads placed eighth and fourteenth in the Northern Indiana Con- ference and Sectional respectively. Senior Bob Adams was the most consistent performer, finishing first in many meets. Next year’s prospects appear fairly bright as the Erosh-Soph downed three of their five opponents. UPPER, SEATED: Luksich, Kaminsky, Sen- chak, Stavros, McClaughry, Sharkey, Fasiang, Hajduch. KNEELING: Schoon (Manager), Uhter, Thomas, Figuly, Zahrndt, Whitworth, Carter, B.

Zahrndt, Stavros, Scnchak and Adams. fir, WRESTLING All boys who are fond of stiff workouts, bruised muscles and body contact can claim wrestling as their sport. Suffering heavily from graduation losses- of the previous year, the GRC grapplers won only one meet this season. Seldom, however, were Coach Frank Concialdi’s proteges overwhelmingly defeated. This fact should make for a vastly improved team next year as few members will be lost via graduation route. Victor Kaminski, Captain Rob Matusko and Jerry Stamos are the only members who will not be back next year. Among those returning for another season of action will be Richard Adams, Richard Carsten, Marcus Hmurovich, Mike Janas, John Jendzel, Jack Kekelik and Ray Kovach.

STANDING: Mr. Snider, Harder, Pearcy, Masepohl, Miller, Shoemaker, Burkey. GOLF AND TENNIS Under the guiding hand of Mr. Car- lyle Snider, the Pioneer golfers finished another eventful season. The linksmen competed with many schools of the region on several golf courses in the Calumet area. Practices were held in the fall at the Wicker Park course to acquaint newcomers with the game. In the spring the experienced team tan- gles with their foes. GRC ' s racketmen under the direction of Mr. Gerald Royer completed a medi- ocre season winning fwo matches while dropping four. They finished third in the Western Conference tournament and also took third place in the Con- ference standings. Dick Cravens, who was chosen the most valuable player, and Cliff Mitch- ell, another outstanding performer, will be the Pioneers’ only loss through graduation. Returning to holster next year’s squad are Bob C.onley, Andy Gabor, Bill Leimbach, Roger Melaven, Paul Schmit, Dale Seliger and Kent Sullivan. BASEBALL That favorite nation-wide sport, baseball, is also enjoyed at GRC. This is illustrated by the large number of eager prospects who show up each year for spring practice sessions. Coach Emerson Aldrich directed the Pioneer diamond through a rugged 18-game campaign. Nine games were played on the home diamond while the others were played on the road. Returning lettermen enabled the Clarksters to field a veteran infield. Roger Horlbeck and Jona- thon Kuzminski proved to be the most consistent pitchers of the season. Early in the season Mr. Edward Dancisak, chief scout of the Boston Braves for the Middle West, showed a movie which gave helpful hints on baseball playing. UPPER. KNEELING: Lourik, Brenkus, Siska, Horlbeck. Bilka. Mucha, Catchur, Owczarzac. STANDING: Banas, I.abda, Gasinski, Timm, D. Vrabel, J. Vrabel, Kuzminski, U.lchitz, Coach Aldrich.

UPPER: Cecilia Buncliek, Mary Vladika, Juanita Freeman, Jo Ann Kubayko, Donna Kaban, Carolyn Burnett. LOWER: Pauline Murovich, Pat Goginski, Shirley Inman. CHEER LEADERS MAJORETTES The three majorettes of ' 49-’50 were outstanding on the football field in their white satin uniforms trimmed in blue braid, their cocky beanies with blue-and-white feathers and white leather boots. Pat Goginski, Shirley Inman and Pauline Murovich led the band in all its marching activities. P-I-O-N-E-E-R-S . . . Pioneers! Who are we for?” “We will back you with all our might,” . . . these snatches from some of Clark ' s most popular cheers bring pictures of six energetic yell leaders braving cold and fatigue to urge our football and basketball teams to victory. Wearing appropriate blue-and-white uniforms, varsity cheerleaders of ' 49- ’50, Cecelia Bunchek. Carolyn Burnett, Jua- nita Freeman, Donna Kaban. Jo Ann Kubayko and Mary Vladika, introduced new formations and cheers for the spirited Bluc-and-White fans. 93 C CLUB Activity and the C Club were synonymous this year. The first undertaking by the club was a fund-raising assembly in which a leading amateur naturalist, Father George M. Link, showed a nature film. Led by their president, Jerome Figuly, who won the Zimmer award, the C Club continued in its active ways. Basketball uniforms ffrere donated to the Clark grade school teams. Later the “In and Out” game, an annual affair, was put on without cost for the students. In the spring the C Club held its annual banquet for all athletic participants. At this time Athletic Director Arvo Antilla, club sponsor, gave awards to the outstanding athletes of the year. All-around C Club award went to Tony Brenkus. In basketball, Jerome Figuly received both the best mental attitude and most valuable player award. In football John Leisge was voted the player with the best mental attitude, while Jonathan Kuzminski got the most valuable player award. Bob Adams re- ceived the most valuable award in both cross country and wrestling. Norm Banas got the most valuable award in baseball for the 1949 season. Results of the track award arrived too late for publication. SEATED: Dupin, Thomas, Leisge, Stamos, Tallman, Gasinski, R. Zahrndt.

G AC Hearing the yelling and shouts which issue from the gym every 1 uesday and Thursday, one may know that the enthusiastic GAG members are participating in one of their many sports. With Miss Leota Kenzie as sponsor, basketball, baseball, tennis, volleyball and howling are en- joyed seasonally by the girls. Pins and letters are earned through a certain amount of activity. 95 CALENDAR Just as a spectator has some special lasting impressions of a circus program, we also can remember certain happen- ings which still remain vivid in our minds.
