Institutors Gain Knowledge and Experience Clark’s representatives to the 1963 Girls’ State were Mary Boswell and Mary Ann Kokot. During the summer preceding the 1963-1964 school year, several Clark students attended special institutes in order to acquire the basic knowledge needed to perform their duties during the year. One of the greatest honors a high school student can receive is to be chosen to attend Boys’ State or Girls’ State. These institutes are held during two different weeks at Indiana University. During these institutes the delegates, Greg Terranova, Den Burk, Tom Snider, Mary Boswell, and Mary Ann Kokot, formed a mock state government. Michelle Summers, Clark’s delegate to the librar¬ ians’ workshop, spent one week at Indiana Univer¬ sity learning proper librarian skills. The editors of the Pioneer News and the Powder Horn attended workshops at Indiana University to develop journalistic talents. Kathy Dubich, Pioneer News editor, spent two weeks at a workshop learning the fundamentals of high school newspaper writing and actual production. Henrietta Kasprzak, editor of the Powder Horn, and Mary Toops, assist¬ ant editor, attended a similar two week session. Varsity cheerleaders, K. Pajak, A. Poison, C. Scha- low, R. Vater, M. A. Kokot, and J. Macocha spent five days at the cheering camp in Syracuse, Indiana. The girls took classes in cheering techniques, tumbling, and pep assemblies.

“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
