“Auld Acquaintances Not Forgotten in 1964 A glimpse into the social studies lounge revealed Mr. Ber¬ nard Charlet, Mr. John Mybeck, and Mr. John Heslin initia¬ ting Student-Teacher Mr. Tom Elder in the custom and tra¬ dition of enjoying a teacher’s “free hour.” Friendship is a basic need for all human beings. Fulfilling this requirement comes easy to Clarkites. A warm and friendly atmosphere surrounds the students and faculty in the halls and in the class¬ rooms. Students and teachers new to Clark find themselves readily accepted as friends and, more important, as fellow Pioneers. Every individual can find activities and friend¬ ships whether it be in clubs, in choruses, in sports, or in academic subjects. The diversified clubs and organizations provide opportunities for any Pioneer to be a real and vital part of his school. The stu¬ dents work together as a unit in backing the teams and participating in extra-curricular activities. The comparatively small size of Clark’s student body makes possible a closer and more personal relationship between teachers and students. Faculty members are willing and able to be of any assistance to a student needing help with an academic or social problem. Clark takes pride in knowing that the friendship which has been extended to students throughout the years has left an impression which has warranted frequent visits from alumni. Seniors Sharon Labus and Jim Ilijanich exchange their last few words before being “cut-off” by the homeroom bell. 6

“We’re on our way!” “New York, here we come!” These were the cries that issued from the three hundred and sixty Hammond students bound for New York City and Washington, D.C., on the an¬ nual one week trip, courtesy of the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad. The students, including thirty-three girls and fifteen boys from Clark, left on October 22, and after spending twenty-four active hours on the train, arrived in New York City. Many students spent the evening sight-seeing along Broadway and Times Square. Early the next morning, the groups boarded spe¬ cial buses to see China Town, the Statue of Liberty, the United Nations, and the Empire State Building. Friday morning the group toured the NBC tele¬ vision and radio studios located in Rockefeller Cen¬ ter, and watched the show at Radio City Music Hall. Following an afternoon of shopping, the groups boarded the train to Washington, D.C. Tours of Mount Vernon, the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, the White House, and Arlington National Cemetery filled the next day. Sunday, students posed for a group picture, toured the Capitol, and climbed the Washington Monument; Monday, they reluctantly returned to Hammond. The beautiful view of New York City at night thrilled and impressed Clark journeyers. Clarkites Venture Forth to Distant Horizons 7
