3 D(2)(2 George Rogers Clark High Hammond, Indiana C arkites Remember Outstanding Moments Time is of the essence. As the sands of time slip gradually away, our year, 1966, draws to a close. During twelve school years, a per¬ sonality has developed; an indi¬ vidual has formed; all bear the inevitable marks of time. We re¬ call these years with mingled emotions; some of us feel a satis¬ fied thrill when we review the memories of these well-spent years; others, with a new resolve. Bob Kelderman, a loyal booster contemplates the game after the stands are empty. Of The Year decide to be more constructive in the future. None of us are com¬ pletely contented with the suc¬ cesses we have attained, for we continue to look ahead optimisti¬ cally while looking back objec¬ tively. We have realized past mis¬ takes and successes are the best criteria for future experiences. We have put our memories to practical use; this is learning. The well-trained Pom Pon flag corps stands at solemn attention with heads and flags held high. An atmosphere of concentration prevails during a typical auditorium study hall. Announcing the half-time show during football season is a trying experience for Miss Jeani Knapp. Our Profile Encompasses Every Hour 1966 — a year all of us will remember. Seniors will recall it as the year of graduation; as the year when new experiences and a new way of life began. Fresh¬ men will remember 1966 as their first venture into an adult world, a world of many problems, but a world of boundless fun. Sopho¬ mores and Juniors will realize that this year was a year of in¬ sight, a year that brought the realization of responsibility and an understanding of one’s inner self. 6 1966 was a typical year with 365 days, but each day of this singular year acts as a bit of color to add to the multifarious mosaic of our memories. We’ll remem¬ ber homeroom with its unceas¬ ing chatter of daily affairs, we’ll remember the bustling halls and our annoyance at being continual¬ ly jostled, we’ll remember the Up and Down stairs, the lectures of our teachers, and the hands of the clock that seemed to move only an infinitesimal distance. We’ll remember the smiles of that certain someone and the cheery ‘hellos’ of our friends. We’ll recall with pride the efforts of our teams and our booster sections at games. We’ll remember the fun we had at dances and how we all loved assemblies. The final ring of the ninth hour bell and the bus we just missed will stay in our minds forever. We’ll remember the lonely halls after everyone else has gone home. We’ll never forget 1966, our year. Of The Day ; Every Day Of The Year Intense concentration lights the faces of Mr. Church’s choral students during the Christmas Concert. The blooming of Clark’s magnolia tree heralds the arrival of spring. We Remember Homecoming As Homecoming is the highlight of the school year. An almost mag¬ ical atmosphere captivates the minds and spirit of both students and faculty. All phases of Clark school activity join together to produce a successful Homecom¬ ing Weekend. With Disneyland being the 1965 theme, the talented Seniors presented a hilarious skit adapt¬ ed from Disney’s ‘Mary Poppin’s’. The loud-mouthed and spirited Seniors also managed to capture first in the yell contest. Almost every club or group sponsored a lavish float in the Homecoming parade preceding the game. The Pioneers lost the game to the No Homecoming is complete without the excitement and anguish of announcing the queen. Senior attendants Jan Pisowicz and Dorothy Priesol congratulate 1965 Queen Liz Kmetz as she bursts into tears of happiness. A thoroughfare fit for a queen is com¬ posed of the newly organized pom-pon flag corps. 1965 HOMECOMING QUEEN AND COURT - Front Row: E. Vanzo, L. Gumkowski, C. Dostatni, L. Kmetz, J. Pisowicz, D. Priesol. Second Row: B. Poppen, R. Cotner, D. Carlson, T. Trzupek, J. Ulm, J. Matlon. Gay, Despairing, Ecstatic, Thrilling The Cat Woman (Rosie Ihnat) tells Mary Poppins and friends about a magic potion to help the Pioneers gain a victory over the Wildcats. Hammond High Wildcats, but our rousing spirit remained throughout the entire weekend. Reigning as 1965 Homecoming Queen was senior Liz Kmetz. The Queen’s court included Edie Van- zo, freshman; Linda Gumkowski, sophomore; Connie Dostatni, jun¬ ior; and seniors Jan Pisowicz and Dorothy Priesol. The traditional Homecoming skit, the yell contest, the parade, the floats, and the game all con¬ tributed to another successful, enthusiastic 1965 Homecoming. This year’s activities exemplified the unity of all Clarkites as every¬ one did his vital part to add to the Homecoming spirit. 9 We Added To Our Memories As We Danced School clubs sponsored sock hops and shoe dances at which teams whirled with perfect rhythm. The ever-popular Clark dances increased in favor with the students this year as bands pro¬ vided most of the entertainment. Newly-formed bands supplied music for many dances, as Clark students passed judgment upon these musical groups. Enthusiasm still ran high at the Homecoming dance, even though the Pioneers were defeat¬ ed in this all-important game. Clark spirit could not be crushed This Senior Trio indulges in a fast number to a swinging tune at one of the popular Clark Dances while carrying on busy conversations. Knowing that “Yesterday’s Gone”, these two couples dance to music provided by the Kritters” at the Senior class dance. Their faces express the wonder and enjoy¬ ment of a memorable evening. 10 And Had Fun as was shown at this dance. The senior class dance, “Yes¬ terday’s Gone” proved a time when dancing was mixed with many happy memories of high school days. Seniors reminisced about the past, and underclass¬ men looked forward to their hap¬ py future. The various club and class dances are always a s cene of won¬ der as Clarkites find pleasure and fun. We also find sadness as the school year ends and the memories of weekend hours of dancing fade. Colored stars and paper snowflakes adorned the gym and set a memorable mood lor the Senior Class Dance, “Yesterday’s Gone.” Assemblies Provide Exciting Entertainment Clarkites saw what assemblies were like from their seats in the audience, but few were aware of the unseen factors which helped the assemblies run as smoothly as they did. AVO members set up micro¬ phones, and Stage Crew members added special lighting effects. Mr. Arthur Erickson aided speak¬ ers by giving them signals to speak more clearly or loudly. As¬ semblies at Clark are truly coop¬ erative measures. An assembly is always a wel¬ come addition to our school pro¬ gram. This year, as always, every¬ one cooperated to make our as¬ semblies part of a memorable year. Standing for the first time before the student body is newly-elected Student Council President Scott Kraly waiting the moment to begin his inaugural address. King and Queen and the subjects of Lockey Land stage a very rousing rally to boost the spirit of the Prince and the Munchkins. The broken-hearted Prince Garry (Scott Kraly) tearfully admits the fact that he has no playmates in Lockey Land during the Sectional Skit. During an unforgettable assembly the characteristics and habits of snakes were illustrated by Sylvia, the python. 12 For A Variety Of Student Interests The Second Annual Latin Club Talent Show was held this year. This event brings out the show¬ manship qualities in many Clark students. Suppressed talents are brought to light before the entire student body. Great musicians and dancers are discovered in our auditorium. C 1 a r k i t e s eager¬ ly look forward to these perform¬ ances by their fellow students. We expectantly viewed the Stu¬ dent Council inaugurations, Na¬ tional Honor Society initiations, and lauded the recipients of hon¬ ors at the Awards Assembly. Queen Momsie (J. Bennett) King Popsie (R. Sandrick) and Prime Minister Daugherty (B. Westerfield) discuss the problems of Lockey Land and endeavor to find suitable remedies which they can apply to the future. 13 Concerts R e veal Hard Work A nd Perse ve ranee DIXIELAND BAND — Sitting: P. Burkey, J. Navta, L. Rusnak. Standing: T. Whiteside, B. Bobin, G. Montgomery, G. Jarabak. “Oh What a Beautiful Morning” Ok¬ lahoman style comes to Clark as the western dress and smiles of these Clark- ites indicates. Magic Melodies still linger with Sharon Granger, Tom Yearsich, Cathy Berland, and George Yearsich who performed at the Orchestra Concert. Of Clarkites As They Strive For Perfection Choral director Mr. Church, directs the girls chorus which symbolizes thoughts of spring in song at the annual spring concert. Eric Tangalos, Cathy Berland, and George Humphreys dance to the music of “Goldfinger presented at the Clark orchestra concert. An ‘‘Art Song” is sung by the Girls’ Choir. The song is sung in five parts and captured the sounds and moods of the break of day. The Band, Orchestra, and Vo¬ cal Music Departments worked hard as individual groups and as a unit to provide their audiences with enjoyable concerts of con¬ temporary and classical music. The band played its customary Winter and Spring Concerts. Both were well attended and featured the talented individual players as well as the band as a whole. On April 26 the Indiana State Band was presented in an effort to aid the uniform fund. The Orchestra presented a con¬ cert in February with a panora¬ ma of American music and sev¬ eral dance numbers featured. The Choral Department gave Fall and Spring Concerts to over¬ flow crowds. Part of their success was due to skillfully staged num¬ bers by Miss Jeani Knapp. 15 Traveling Far And Wide We Expanded Our The magnificent Capitol allowed Clark students to realize the might and force of our government and they were impressed by awesome history-in-the-making. if The Statue of Liberty was an inspir¬ ing sight for Clarkites who viewed the symbol of freedom for the first time. The depressing sight of President Kennedy’s grave brought to mind the tragic assassination of a great man, symbolized by an eternal flame. Clarkites viewed North and Central America during the An¬ nual Washington-New York and the first-time, but successful, Mexico trip. In Washington, students were impressed with the rich and glo¬ rious history of our country and with the history in-the-making there now. They toured the White House, Arlington National Cemetery, Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol building, and the Wash¬ ington Monument. In New York, the many facets of American living passed before the eyes of the wayfarers. They discovered that there are not few, but many ways of living in Knowledge, Our Friendships, Our Horizons Sunny days and gala activities impressed this group of students and faculty with a never-to-be-forgotten Mexican vacation. 17 our nation. Students saw the U.N., the Statue of Liberty, China Town, and the Empire State Building. The Mexico trip winged its way to new directions in the students thoughts. They learned of the close relationship between the United States and Mexico and the co-existence we now enjoy. Clark- ites toured Mexico and religious and cultural centers nearby. Forum Club sponsors many in¬ teresting and educational tours for Clark students. The Mexico trip, the Colorado trip, and the Springfield tour comprised a wealth of new adventure for be¬ ginning travelers. Although most Clarkites were starry-eyed over the prospect of travel, they still greatly appreciated the geographi¬ cal knowledge which they ob¬ tained. Forum Club travelers view an ancient Mexican form of worship on their annual trip to Mexico as a woman makes a pilgrimage to the church. Junior Class takes a journey to ‘Our Town’ Rebecca Gibbs (Sharon Moskal) and George (ferry Milligan) silently marvel at the infinity of the universe. Emily Webb (Cathy Bajda) does home¬ work in her upstairs bedroom. The class of 1967 dramatized a part of everyday life in “Our Town”, a play by Thornton Wild¬ er. The curtain rose on Grovers Corners, New Hampshire, and we were shown the childhood, mar¬ riage, and death of Emily Webb, the daughter of the town’s news¬ paper editor. The first act showed the daily life of the Webbs and their neigh¬ bors the family of Dr. Gibbs. In their senior year in high school, Emily and George Gibbs “discov¬ ered” each other, and realize that marriage brings sorrow as well as happiness. It brings the loss of youth besides the gaining of ma¬ turity. Act two is about love, and marriage, and the sacrifices needed for both. Emily and George find that compromise is As Its First Theatrical Venture First Row: J. Pavlovich, B. Domasica, T. Whiteside, C. Spaulding, R. Encinosa, M. Leland. Second Row: D. Guy, J. Snider, P. Davis, M. Molson, B. Kelderman, N. Chapek, B. Herakovich, C. Pearson, K. Dudzik. Third Row: J. Kruczek. K. Peterson, J. Milligan, S. Moskal, K. Bajda, B. Jamrose, C. Poi, M. Burney, L. Shifflett, G. Yearsich, M. Dzurovcik. The townspeople mourn silently in the rain as Emily is finally laid to rest. the basis of a happy life, and their families discover that it is compromise that has kept them together. Act three is about death and the value of life. Emily dies in childbirth and finds in death a clarity that she never realized in life. She finds that people never live life for every minute, and she returns to life and finds that knowledge of the future can be the most painful power imagin¬ able. “Our Town” was an experience that has been lived by everyone at some time. We were drawn in¬ to character with the actors, and we experienced the common dra¬ ma of an everyday, but neverthe¬ less meaningful play. 19 Enthusiastic Audience Lauds And Will With a kick of its heels and a spirit of high-jinks, the produc¬ tion High Button Shoes buttoned up and gave its audiences two fun-filled evenings. Two months of hard work went into its making, but it was also backed by the well-wishings of Miss Jeani Knapp, the cast, the stage crew, and the entire stu¬ dent body. It could have been nothing but a success. The plot revolves around the efforts of a suave, shady-dealer (Bob Harper) to wrest away the money and the sweetheart (Lois Mrzlock) of a small town. After many failures and a chase scene, he is apprehended. Everyone lives Happily Ever After. And so, in its old-fashioned way, with a honk from its tan¬ dem bicycle and a cough from its Model T, High Button Shoes con¬ tinued in the successful tradition of Clark theater. Long Remember ‘High Button Shoes’ Fran and Oggle (Lois Mrzlock and Chuck Turpin) dream of a house in the sticks.” Graduation Left Us With Fond Memories Graduates stand for invocation as they tensely await the long-awaited moment with mixed emotions. Of Our Four Unforgettable Years At Clark Seniors prepare for graduation as they are carefully fitted for caps and gown. A Clark graduate proudly accepts his well-earned reward, a high school di¬ ploma, the key to a better future. Graduation meant many things to seniors, but for all it meant the conclusion of four years of hard work and rollicking fun. At the Senior Banquet, seniors recapitulated four years of mem¬ ories, laughing at antics as “freshies” and musing over ex¬ ploits as seniors. As their last act as seniors, they marched up the aisle and took places on stage for commence¬ ment. Each senior proudly receiv¬ ed his diploma, slowly flipped his tassel, and departed as an alum¬ nus. With diplomas in hand, they depart to conquer the world and to mold their futures. 23 The annual prom, a combined effort of sponsors and students, was a complete success this year, as always. It was the product of months of diligent work of the industrious Junior Class. Yet the Prom, with all its glitter and grandeur, concluded the school year with exciting remem¬ brances for all who attended. Memory books of preceding years bordered the dance floor. This event was truly a ‘Prelude to an Ending’ as the juniors bade fare¬ well to graduating seniors and hopefully awaited the coming year. The Annual Prom, Prelude To An Ending’ Junior and Senior class officers prepare to lead the grand march at the Junior Class Prom, ‘Prelude To An Ending’. 24 Rollicking pep band, composed of dedi¬ cated students, aids in stimulating school spirit for basketball games. Pom Pon girls H. Kubeck and C. Ber- land supply color and excitement for cheering Clarkites at games. Clark’s well-known marching band pro¬ vides rousing entertainment during half¬ time at all football games. Marching Groups Add Zest To Games The half-time shows at all Clark football and basketball games were brightened by the cheery music and the clever rou¬ tines of the marching band, pom¬ pon corps, and majorettes. These groups under the direction of Mr. Caryle Snider, Miss Jeani Knapp, and Miss Marion Johnston, work¬ ed long hours to polish their per¬ formances to the pinnacle of per¬ fection. These shows of near¬ professional caliber provided entertainment for appreciative Clarkites. The combined efforts of stu¬ dents, teachers, and athletes made the attendance at each game a memorable and rewarding event. Clark twirlers D. Dickey and D. Priesol head the band in the Homecoming parade. Worthy Students Attend Summer Institutes Unable to stop the learning pro¬ cess during summer vacation, Clarkites enriched their know¬ ledge and their future at summer institutes and workshops. Future leaders were given ex¬ perience at Boy s’ and Girls’ States. Representatives took part in mock state governments and learned some of the intricacies of running a government smoothly. Varsity cheerleaders swapped techniques at cheering camp in Syracuse, Indiana, in classes in tumbling, cheering, and pep as¬ semblies. These classes enabled them to lead effective Homecom¬ ing and Sectional pep sessions and to lead cheers at all games while boosting the spirits of the crowds and the teams. Extensive journalistic study was the foremost goal of 1966 yearbook editors Carol Leskovich and Sharon Granger who spent two informative weeks at I.U. Last summer Pat Boguslaw gained newspaper knowledge at an Indiana University News Conference to aid her as assistant editor of the P.N. While Gaining Valuable Knowledge Reviewing the Indiana Daily Student was a daily assignment for Joan Paylo who attended a journalism seminar last summer in order to develop skills necessary for the editor of the Pioneer News. Always wear a smile” is the motto of apprentice librarians. Barb Spauld¬ ing and Janet Duncan set a good ex¬ ample as they find work can be fun. It was a busy summer for C. Whyte, H. Stecy, M. Leland and R. Gaspar, and L. Shifflett who attended the Lead¬ ership Conference at Bloomington. Pioneer News editors Joan Pay¬ lo and Pat Boguslaw and year¬ book editors Carol Leskovich and Sharon Granger attended insti¬ ll tes at Indiana University to learn the various aspects of jour¬ nalism and actual production. Editor Joan Paylo attended a newspaper workshop to learn ed¬ iting skills, editorial techniques, and many other useful pointers for running a newspaper. Assis¬ tant editor Pat Boguslaw was ac¬ cepted to the News Conference which consisted of only a select group of high school journalism students. Poivder Horn editor Carol Les¬ kovich participated in a yearbook workshop which stressed the com¬ position of the book and the dif¬ ferent technical problems which can occur. Assistant editor Sharon Granger studied copy writing, cap¬ tion fitting, and editing. Leadership Conference dele¬ gates spent one week at Indiana University studying to become effective leaders. At the same time they became accustomed to life on a college campus. Two student librarians, Janet Duncan and Barb Spaulding, at¬ tended the librarians’ workshop. They learned to classify books, shelve books, use reference ma¬ terials and they saw how to keep order and quiet in a library. In this way our industrious stu¬ dents kept busy by following their interests and responsibilities through the summer months. I will study and get ready and perhaps my chance will come. — Abraham Lincoln 29 Academic Honors Awarded To Deserving Earning the highest scholastic merit Joan Paylo and Mary Rudser were named valedictorian and salutatorian of the class of 1966. The valedictorian and salutator¬ ian of the Class of 1966 were Joan Paylo and Mary Rudser. They achieved their high standing with perseverance and diligent effort in academic pursuits. Miss Elizabeth Lyle was a bi¬ ology teacher at Clark for twenty years. An annual award for the most outstanding student in biolo¬ gy classes and a memorial shelf of science books have been dedi¬ cated to her memory. Eight senior boys were selected Junior Rotarians to the Ham¬ mond Rotary Club, a community service organization. Each dele¬ gate individually represented Clark for a one month period at the Rotary Club luncheons held at the Masonic Temple. The Bausch and Lomb Science Award is given every year to a student who has displayed super¬ ior achievement in biology, phy¬ sics, and chemistry. This year’s winner was Joan Paylo. The GIRL AND BOY STATE REPRESENTATIVES — Bottom . For his achievements in biology, Junior Jerry Kruczek was up: Joan Paylo, Jim Navta, Godfrey Jarabak, Dan Carlson. chosen recipient of the Elizabeth Lyle Memorial Award. 30 Students award made Joan eligible for a five thousand dollar scholarship to the University of Rochester in New York. Each year a senior girl is hon¬ ored with the Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citi¬ zenship Award for possessing qualities of dependability, ser¬ vice, leadership, and patriotism. Seniors and faculty members se¬ lected Mary Rudser to receive this award. Mary took a three-hour examination on American govern¬ ment and history and attended a tea for local winners. Competition for the award is nationwide. The national winner receives a one thousand dollar scholarship to the college of her choice. JUNIOR ROTARIANS — Front Row. D. Winner, B. Bubnovich, J. Navta. Second Roiv: T. Hovanec, S. Kraly. Third Row: P. Burkey, D. Carlson, G. Jarabak. Joan Paylo was awarded the 1966 Bausch and Lomb Science Award for her excellence in physics and chemistry. The 1966 DAR Award was presented to Senior Mary Rudser for her out¬ standing qualities of citizenship. National Merit Finalists — J. Paylo. B. Forbes. Commended Scholars — C. Leskovich and D. Carlson. 31 Advanced Math Provides Extensive Challenges Juniors Jane Ehlers and Tom Year- sich understand the importance of pre¬ cise values in the tedious logrithmic equations of advanced algebra. Under the supervision of Mr. Emerson Aldrich, head of the math department, college-bound students study two or more of the following subjects: algebra, advanced algebra, geometry, an¬ al y t i c geometry, trigonometry, and college algebra. In advanced algebra students learn the intricacies of the slide rule and difficult logarithmic equations. Coordinating points of graphs are studied while students draw parabolas and other curves. Miss Wallace, trigonometry teacher, patiently explained sines, cosines, and tangents to seniors eager for an advanced mathema¬ tics background which is vital for further college learning. Seniors Cindy Pajak and Bo Jarabak share together one of the few lighter moments that makes trigonometry class challenging yet enjoyable. Mastering the very challenging operations of the slide rule proves to be a simple task for Mary Burney and Jake Vrabel. 32 To Students’ Youthful Minds Freshman Algebra introduces a taste of the more involved study of mathematics. Bob Winebarger finds blackboard work helpful in solving problems. Whether the circles are tangent or con¬ centric it is no problem for Mary El¬ len Kacoha who demonstrates her skill in constructions with a compass. Commercial Math involves more than simple addition. Irene Quigley and Wally Wisniewski attempt to solve a complicated tax problem on the board. Algebra I introduces students to the theory of equations and axioms of equality. In plane geo¬ metry, sophomores learn the im¬ portance of geometric laws and construct geometric figures. In advanced algebra, juniors learn to master the slide rule and solve more complex equations. A first semester senior subject, trigono¬ metry aids students in combin¬ ing their knowledge of geometry and algebra. College algebra stu¬ dents master more advanced methods of solving intricate equa¬ tions. Analytic geometry deepens students’ reasoning. Biology, Earth Science, And Health Satisfy To enrich the student’s under¬ standing of our relationship with living things is the goal set by our biology teachers. Many students taking the col¬ lege preparation course take bio¬ logy. During the year they study botony, genetics, the cell, embryo¬ logy and evolution. They also learn how to use and care for the microscope, the tool of the biolo¬ gist. When studying animals, es¬ pecially crustacean, dissect¬ ing becomes part of the course of study. General Science is also offered. This subject covers a broader curriculum; however, subject matter is not as thoroughly dis¬ cussed as in biology. Mary Csigas knows the answer! Stu¬ dents are urged to participate in class¬ room discussions for learning must be cooperative for mutual benefit. Through the modern facilities of our biology department, interested students gain needed experience by using the newly acquired autoclave sterilizer. 34 Inquisitive And Interested Minds The functions of the heart are ex¬ plained to Bette Hered and Tom Wood by Mr. Thomas, health instructor. Health, a required course, is in¬ tended to give students an under¬ standing of the functioning of their bodies and the knowledge needed to keep them functioning correctly. They study their health in relation to anatomy, the work¬ ings of the internal organs, and to physiology, the study of the relation of the body parts. The class uses visual aids, charts, models of various organs and George, the skeleton, to provide a total picture. Earth Science, an elective taught by Miss Wanda Wilharm, is a comprehensive study of the planet on which we live. Students in Earth Science classes learn about the earth in relation to the universe; weather in relation to geology; the moon and the tides; the sun and the seasons; and the patterns of the planets. They learn about the past through the various strata of soil and through fossils. Thus they gain a useful and working knowledge of their environment. In the study of Earth Science, students can encompass all of the sciences while getting a total and focused picture of each in ac¬ cordance with its importance. Earth Science students learn the value of a working knowledge of the past, combined with their knowledge of ba¬ sic biology. 35 Advanced Sciences Intrigue And Physics and chemistry, the lab¬ oratory sciences, are a challenge to those juniors and seniors who accept their responsibility. Their study can be rewarded by a suc¬ cessfully completed experiment, a high test score, or a clearly seen concept. Physics is the study of the principles of the material world around us. Its concepts are regu¬ lar, its findings in accordance with the rules of a well-ordered universe. S t u d e nt s study the swinging of a pendulum and the nature of sound waves, inertia and the horsepower of a moving object. Instructed by Mr. Oral Watkins, the students enter a world of new but familiar con¬ cepts and precise but world- important goals. Although comprehension of a difficult idea takes much diligence and concentration, an understand¬ ing of the world around them is the reward of physics students. Junior Jerry Milligan carefully examines the intricate parts of the engine and their functions to fulfill a needed physics requirement. 36 Challenge College-Bound Students Chemistry student, Dan Carlson, heats a compound in a water bath to pre¬ pare it for quantitive analysis. Chemistry is the study of the structure of matter. Chemists deal with the miniscule and the microscopic. They explore the physical world in terms of the movements of an atom. In a chemistry lab, students find data to support the theories they learn in class and learn the preciseness necessary for proper results. Un¬ der the guidance of Mr. John Wisemiller, students discover principles and concepts which will enrich their understanding of the universe. During the year chemistry stu¬ dents collected and tested for oxygen. They performed a quanti¬ tive titration, a quantitive analy¬ sis, and compared color intensities of solutions. Are their heads bowed in prayer? No, these industrious physics students are tensely calculating the results of a difficult class experiment. 37 Assortment Of Languages Allows Students Under the direction of Mrs. Calvert, the advanced German Class not only studies the language but also the German people, customs, and traditions. Through the use of records, films, and tape recordings, Latin students acquired an appreciation of language and style. Many Latin words, quotations, and mottoes used in every day English were thoroughly studied. Mrs. Wilcox stressed words derived from La¬ tin to increase the pupil’s under¬ standing of medical, judicial, and musical terms. During their stu¬ dy of Latin, students formed reading acquaintances with every great Roman from the wolf that raised Romulus to the Emperor Caligula. The advanced Latin student, with applied and patient work from the very beginning of Latin introduction, can easily translate the difficult poetic works of Vir¬ gil- Advanced Spanish students tackle complicated sentence structure and enhance their knowledge of the literature of Spain. To Discover Heritage Of Other Lands Latin can be fun and interesting at the same time. This principle is sustained by Jean Bangert who combines her oratorical skill with her knowledge of Latin. French, an established foreign language at Clark is still greeted with enthusiastic response. The language lab was used in conjunc¬ tion with records, background study, and regular textbook prep¬ aration. Miss Sauvain instructs pupils to read all types of French literature, from magazines to no¬ vels, in an effort to increase a student’s knowledge of the lang¬ uage. Grammar content and usage were important musts in Spanish. First year pupils used grammar to present skits; second year pupils wrote themes entirely in Spanish; third and fourth year students learned to understand the Spanish people by studying their cultural background and customs. Mrs. Encinosa, a native Cuban, added many interesting lectures, discus¬ sions, films, folk songs, and record¬ ings to the classroom routine. German students were urged to acquire a vivid realization of the language and culture of the moth¬ erland. Mrs. Calvert channeled student interest to the finer points of this language through the stu¬ dy of maps, reports, foreign newspapers, and background in¬ formation. After months of voca¬ bulary study, the advanced Ger¬ man class can find classwork inter¬ esting and exciting as they con¬ verse fluently in German. For the first time in Clark’s history, Russian has been added to the curriculum. Pupils attend¬ ing special evening classes have become acquainted not only with the Russian language, but also with the Russian culture. The entire language depart¬ ment hopes to continue in its present course as well as develop further student progress. Miss Sauvain urges the advanced French class to read French literature in order to improve ability to speak the language and to understand correct usage. Will the real Mr. Pickwick please stand up? Students in Mrs. Gates’ advanced composition classes present varied interpreta¬ tions in original skits of Charles Dickens’ pompous, ridiculous Mr. Pickwick. English Enables Students To Gain Proficiency The Pickwick women gossip busily while relating the scandals which have occur¬ red in a typical day portrayed in the Pickwick Papers. Through communication man is able to express himself to others. In order to do this in an accurate and concise manner, one must have proper knowledge. Today’s modern world offers many forms of communication, many of which can be found in Clark’s English Department. From the very intro¬ duction of simple English usage to the advanced composition class¬ es, an interested Clark student would greatly benefit from the patient teaching of our English staff. So it is, as years go by, we find eager students with books in hand heading for their world of knowledge — their English classes. Students begin in their fresh¬ man year to learn to apply their thoughts to the confining forms of sentences and paragraphs. They learn the rudiments of the language and begin to discover through this knowledge the great literature of our language. Mrs. Cougill holds the interest of her students while enriching their literary back¬ grounds and explaining the fundamentals of grammar. In the sophomore year, stu¬ dents enter the versatile world of public speaking. The main objec¬ tive of this class is to give the student poise before a group. This is accomplished through ex¬ perience in informative speeches, pantomines, descriptive speeches, persuasive speeches and others. In junior English, the student begins to study the intricacies of the language, especially in the written form. The junior year is the year of themes, creative ide¬ as written down. Contemporary literature is examined in depth and from many angles; from this students learn some of the turn¬ ings of their own minds. In the senior year our learn¬ ing culminates in the great ex¬ pressions of famous authors and poets and in our own “great thoughts”. We become “mighty Pioneers” through our ability to speak, read and comprehend. In Fluent Speech English students learn to interpret plays, and poetry, and novels by means of interesting lectures in Miss Lam¬ bert’s English classes. Lance Rusnak emphasizes his point while gaining poise in delivering a speech. 41 Modem Students in Mr. Erickson’s class view educational television in order to supple¬ ment their reading materials and class discussions. Realizing the importance of a basic knowledge of government and economics, the state requires all high school students to pass courses in the study of these sub¬ jects. With this knowledge stu¬ dents will be able to interpret and distinguish between various world governments. Economic and social problems will be understood and students will then be able to pro¬ pose basic solutions to problems which have been plaguing our so¬ ciety for centuries. 42 Facilities Utilized In Learning Recent Events Reading current periodicals aids social studies students in broadening their background of world events. Three main topics discussed in Mr. Erickson’s and Mr. Charlet’s government classes this year were the meaning of democracy, the nature of our government, and the function of an American and his government. Extra articles and magazines supplemented the textbook. After covering the com¬ plexities of our federal system, the classes proceeded to government on the state and local levels. Be¬ sides studying democracy, govern¬ ment students learned of other forms of socialism, Fascism. Com¬ parisons and contrasts were drawn between the different systems and the student was able to see ad¬ vantages and disadvantages clear- ¥ Mr. Majcher taught the eco¬ nomics classes. Students studied gross national product and the problems of production, distribu¬ tion, and consumption. In addi¬ tion to class lectures, up-to-date re¬ ports were given daily by stu¬ dents. Economic students analyzed the stock market and its trends and contemplated the advantages of different types of insurance. Maps, Films, Periodicals Supplement Clark’s history and geography classes studied in depth the chal¬ lenging aspects of world history and their relationship with the natural features of the earth. Through the relentless efforts of our interested and dedicated teaching staff, Clark students find their history and geography classes rewarding. Under the guidance of Mr. Preusz and Mr. Heslin, sopho¬ mores delved into man’s advance¬ ments from the paleolithic age to the automotive era. They analyzed the cause and effects of World War I and World War II and pondered the probability of a third world conflict. Mr. Roman and Mr. Preusz sought to enlighten juniors with facts about our own nation’s past. They studied the development of our country from its simple begin¬ nings to its ultra-modern present. With increasing emphasis being placed on modern history, stu¬ dents became acutely aware of the present political, social, and economic problems. 44 Lectures, Discussions, Class Work The significant role which geo¬ graphy plays in world history was explained by Mr. Mueller and Mr. Majcher. After studying the geo¬ graphical sections of the United States, students were able to re¬ late economic and social facets to natural facets such as topography and climate. The different climates of the world were discussed and the her¬ itage and traditions of foreign lands were related to their physi¬ cal factors. Geography is vital to a good school curriculum and Clark students were entranced daily by romantic places which they have never seen. Concern for the world around us is evident in our social studies department as illustrated by interested students, Sandi Pataky and Bud Kussy. A bit of humor peps up one of Mr. Mueller’s lectures. This situation is one reason the department retains its popularity. 45 Fine Arts Curriculum Offer Students Chance Mechanical drawing offers a challenge to Junior Jerry Piskorowski who skillfully creates perfect geometric figures with only a pencil and a T-square. Mechanical drawing is essential for every person who plans to have a home, an office, or any structure built under his direc¬ tion, not just for architects. In mechanical drawing, boys (and girls) learn of course, to read and design blueprints and to make sketches and layouts of their work. However there are underlying o b j e ct i v es: logi¬ cal thinking, visualization of one’s work, illustration of thoughts. It is a science useful in almost any field of endeavor, from building a ten-story building to conserving space in a kitchen. Mechanical drawing is also a field with room for creativity and expansion of thought. Like writ¬ ing, it allows for the expression of personal ideals and objectives and gives students a chance to design something of true origi¬ nality. Clark students with the help of the excellent teaching department are well-prepared for future voca¬ tions and college studies. Concise evaluation and appraisal of fellow students ' work is an essential quality of the mechanical drawing student. 46 To Express Their Natural Talents Art class gives Clarkites an opportunity to think creatively. Jim Florek and George Janiec display originality in metal craft. Clark students expressed many aspects of creativity in various elective courses. Homemaking and cooking clas¬ ses teach the right way to handle a souffle or a situation and the way to make motherhood a ful¬ filling lifetime job. Sewing for economies sake or for “something different” is the motive for taking sewing classes. Art classes allow students to paint, draw or sculpt and drain excess energy into creative chan¬ nels. The elective courses in our cur¬ riculum offer ample opportunity for valuable experience and fu¬ ture needs for private or even public uses. Displaying their completed art work, Chris Sutter and Cathy Bissett show their thorough enjoyment of creativity. Hard work and concentration are necessary for the Concert Choir so that perfect blends and pitches can be obtained. 47 For the business-minded stu¬ dent, there is a variety of busi¬ ness courses offered at Clark. A student completing the regular four-year business course is well- trained for any number of jobs in the business world. Typing is one of the most popular and useful courses offered, since all stu¬ dents, reg ardless of the course they pursue, find typing essenti¬ al. For the girl looking forward to a secretarial position, short¬ hand is a must. Speed and accur¬ acy are the goals of future steno¬ graphers. Future secretaries find that shorthand proficiency is in¬ valuable in the business world and the secretary with speed and accuracy will never have to search for a job. Shorthand students also find that a cheery personality and a helpful attitude are vital to business success. Business ma¬ chines and filing are both studied in the same semester. These courses round out a fundamental stenographic or bookkeeping course and give the girls added A comedy of errors is shown by smiling Ed Olechnowicz and Miss Johnston as they find a mistake in a bookkeeping project. Unlimited Business Facilities Offer Useful versatility on the job. Business law provides an insight into the rules and legal procedures which govern any business. General business and commercial math give stu¬ dents the fundamentals they will need for the more advanced courses. Consumer problems deals with advertising and bud¬ geting, while the bookkeeping classes prepare students for a career in accounting. Bookkeep¬ ing skills are very useful in house¬ hold budgeting tasks for future life. Typist Mary Ann Jacewicz finds that patience and perseverance are needed factors in preparing errorless papers. Opportunities For Future Vocations Working laboriously on expert proficiency in Gregg shorthand are juniors Gloria Miterko and Cindy Jurbala. 49 Girls, Boys Master Practical Talents For The home economics curricu¬ lum offered students, both male and female, an opportunity to es¬ tablish a basic foundation in some of the useful lifetime skills. Learning to prepare nutritious and delicious meals is one of the tasks undertaken by culinary stu¬ dents. They experienced “kitchen clean-up” as well as table setting, manners, and food serving. All facets of cooking are probed by Clark’s Chefs. Food prices are compared so that economy can be practiced. Efficient food prepara¬ tion with limited waste are the goals for which cooking students strive. Manners are practiced and correct food serving is studied. Table decor is also important for the beauty of the table must match the beauty of the food. Males are now infiltrating the housewife’s haven to be welcomed with open arms when clean-up duty draws near. Bob Kelderman dries dishes! How the world needs good cooks! Iris Fanno and Paulette Perdock hope to enter the elite society of superior gourmets. Rewarding Benefits And Ambitions To enjoy sewing, to make prac¬ tical things, and to acquire sew¬ ing skills are the aims of a be¬ ginning sewing student. Clothing II students learn to alter the “look” of a basic dress with the use of various accessor¬ ies. Dressy dresses, suits, and coats were a few of the pursuits of the Clothing III and advanced cloth¬ ing students. Most important of all the stu¬ dent learned what type of gar¬ ment would be best suited for herself. A person’s personality is determined by what he or she wears. A person’s appearance im¬ proves with the excellent guidance of Miss Nordvig. Extreme care to lay out the pattern exactly on the straight of the material is taken by Frosh Patty Gaylor and Junior Karen Hayes. Sewing is a very beneficial art. Carol Schmidt and Wendy Hickman work very diligently on their garments in order to obtain perfection as Miss Nordvig gives a helping hand. After four semesters of very rewarding clothing instruction, J u n i or Rosie Tomko accomplishes her final sewing project, a spring coat. 51 find the great thing in; this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. — Oliver Wendell Holmes For Outstanding Work, Deserving Students NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY - Front Row.

Through this Board of eight members, the stu¬ dents are al 1 o w e d to ‘govern themselves,’ thus solving many disciplinary infractions more ef¬ fectively. With the help of the student body, the Student Council, under the able direction of Scott Kraly, can look back on another success¬ ful year. New innovations again illustrated how much a student council can really accomplish for a school and student body. 56 STUDENT COUNCIL - Front Row: M. Murzyn, S. Hanusin, R. Ihnat, L. Kmetz.

Working together, the three clubs began the year with the popular bake sale. Besides rais¬ ing money, the bake sale give stu¬ dents a chance to eat in class with the approval of the teacher! During the Christmas holdiay season, Latin Club joined the three other foreign language clubs in celebrating Christmas, or Satur¬ nalia, as the Romans would say. Each club presented a skit and sang songs in its own language. Freshman Latin students were given an opportunity to display their talents for the traditional freshman initiation into the club. The Talent Show returned for the second time after its enthusi¬ astic premier last year. After passing an audition, anyone could participate in this show. The Latin Club closed another successful year with the annual banquet. At the awards’ assembly, these seniors were presented with four- year pins: C. Haluska, S. Ham- mersley, S. Hanusin, B. Kelley, B. Krall, J. Navta, M. Rudser, S. Schmidt, J. Serafin, and M. West- cott. At all the meetings of the clubs, sponsor Mrs. Lillian Wil¬ cox stressed the application of an¬ cient Roman culture to daily life whenever possible. LATIN CLUB — Front Row: D. Rabe, B. Pruzin, B.

Hard to nuture the young club to success, their efforts have not gone unrewarded. Through their experiences in growi ng along with the new club, these students have gained rich backgrounds and deep insight into French cul¬ ture. The seniors in this French organization can look back at their accomplishments with satis¬ faction and pride. Each year the club delves deep¬ er into the French language and customs. French games are play¬ ed to stimulate interest in word roots and vocabulary. Films pro¬ vide geographical knowledge of France. Guest speakers are in¬ vited to monthly meetings to give first-hand descriptions of France. From thirteen original mem¬ bers the club has grown to an as¬ tounding fifty members in three years. The club has expanded so rapidly that Miss Sauvain, the sponsor, has found it necessary to divide the club into two meet¬ ing sections. The first-year stu¬ dents hold their own meetings and elect their own officers. Di¬ ane Gilpin held the office of pres¬ ident this year. Assisting her were Karen Trelinski, vice presi¬ dent, and Marilee Ogren, secre¬ tary-treasurer. The advanced French club elected Jan Piso- wicz to act as president; Helen Stecy, vice president; and Allen Jamrose, secretary-treasurer. The entire club joined togeth¬ er to sponsor a float in the Home¬ coming parade. Other activities included a bake sale to provide funds for dinner at a French cuisine in Chicago, a car wash, and a spring dance. FRENCH CLUB - Front Row. S. Jones, C. Houghton. M. Meldahl, K.

Membership was divided in¬ to advanced and freshman clubs, meeting on alternate Wednes¬ days. Both used tapes, record¬ ings and dialogues to add to their knowledge of Germany and the German language. German Club journeyed to Chi¬ cago to see Dr. Zhivago and to eat at a German restaurant. They presented, in combination with the French Club, a “Mardi Gras” dance, and through the club, in¬ terested members were able to get pen pals from Germany. The purpose of the German Club is to become acquainted with German culture as well as study the German language. Admiring an elaborate German travel poster are the German Club officers Douglas Guy, Barbara Krall, Betty Lesak, and Carol Leskovich. GERMAN CLUB — Front Row: R. Vavrek, L. Schurr, D. Schmittel, B.

The beginning and advanced sections of Spanish Club launched a year of activities by winning first place in the Homecoming pa¬ rade float competition with a life- sized image of Fernando the Bull. A new project has been begun by the combined Spanish Clubs. Each year a money-raising activi¬ ty will be sponsored in order to collect a sizable amount for a fu¬ ture scholarship presented to a deserving Spanish student. The clubs were once again un¬ der the sponsorship of Mrs. En¬ cinosa, a native of Cuba. Both clubs enjoyed listening to her lec¬ tures about the lives and customs of Cubans and other Latin Ameri¬ can countries. The Spanish Club held a very successful party for all club mem¬ bers. 61 Eighty-four members strong, Clark’s band spent another busy year. Presenting the annual Aug¬ ust concert and two others dur¬ ing the school year, preparing halftime shows for Pioneer foot¬ ball games, marching for Clark in parades, entering solo and en¬ semble contests, representing Clark in the Hammond Music Festival, and whipping up G.R.C. spirit in pep rallies provides the members with many opportuni¬ ties for spending their energy. ‘Badinage for Brasses” and the corresponding “Waggery for Woodwinds” by Walters gave both sections a chance to display their talent in the annual Winter Concert. The stage band, new to Clark this year, and the Dixie¬ land Band were added attrac¬ tions. As usual, the Pep Band, upper- class volunteer musicians, boost¬ ed Clarkites’ spirits with its live¬ ly numbers. Highlighting the Spring Con¬ cert was the presentation of the traditional band keys to all the graduating members, and the co¬ veted gold key awarded to the most valuable player, Bette Hered. The Pom-Pon Corps performed at football and basketball games to add color and enjoyment to the half-time shows. Performing alone or complementing the Band, their entertainment was highly reward¬ ing. Miss Jeani Knapp designs the choreography for this group. The Pom-Pon Flag Corps, a new innovation, first performed at Homecoming to provide a trium¬ phal arch for the queen and her court. The Majorettes highlighted half-times at games with their clever routines and precise maneu¬ vers. Miss Marion Johnston spon¬ sored this group. POMPON FLAG CORPS - Front Row: J. Ellis, S. Fuchs. D.

Concert Orchestra Gains New Director Clark’s Senior High Orchestra is under the new direction of Mr. Charles Meyette. In the fall, the orchestra made its annual trip to Ball State University for the “Weekend for Strings.” The Christmas Season was brighten¬ ed by the orchestra’s presenta¬ tion of a Handel Organ Concerto and Christmas Carols. The February concert was a contemporary work of American music. The orchestra’s repetoire consisted of such numbers as “Carousel”, “Wide Missouri”, and “Goldfinger”, with the “Squires” as an accompaniment. The or¬ chestra is looking forward to a great year with many veterans returning. Listening attentively to orchestra di¬ rector Mr. Meyette, bass player Greg Walsko comprehends a difficult musi¬ cal passage. 64 The Choral Department made their first appearance to parents, teachers, and students in a Fall Concert. The department’s readi¬ ness for this early concert was due partly to the extra allotment of time to choral students. This year all groups met daily for full credit except two sections of the Girl’s Chorus. They were led by choral director, Mr. Darrell Church and Miss Amy Lueking, student teacher. The Fall Concert featured the second annual “Panorama of Pop¬ ular Music.’’ Narrated by Jim Navta, it covered a variety of songs from musicals, radio, stage and screen. In December, the Choral De¬ partment presented a Holiday Concert in conjunction with the band and orchestra. In the spring, it featured the staging of selec¬ tions from Rodgers and Hammer- stein’s Oklahoma, and selections from Mendelssohn’s Elijah. Boys’ Chorus, composed of eigh¬ teen members, ambitiously strive to achieve basic fundamentals in music. Girls’ Chorus is formed by girls hoping to learn generaliza¬ tions of music. The Girls’ Choir, a more select group, includes those who have mastered basic techni¬ ques. Mr. Darrell Church, the excel¬ lent leader of Clark’s choral groups, devoted many hours to bringing good entertainment to students, faculty, and parents. The Boys ' Chorus harmonize to an old favorite during winter choral concert. Concert Choir Entertains Out-Of-State CONCERT CHOIR - Front Row : Mr. Church, R. Ihnat, C. Berland, B. Krall, L.

A Senate, consisting of one represenative from each j u n i or and senior homeroom, met with the officers to discuss business and activities. A successful UNICEF Christ¬ mas Card drive was among the club’s aid programs. A trip to Mexico was sponsored by Forum Club. Highlighting this trip were tours of Mexico City, where the travelers visited museums, cathe¬ drals, and many other historic sights. This trip was the high¬ light of a full and busy year. Un¬ der the patient and interested guidance of Mr. John Heslin and Mr. Bernard Charlet, a receptive student body was well-traveled this year. Tracing the route to Colorado, Forum Club president, P. Burkey and Senate members M. L. Jamrose and M. Loden organize the activities of the spring trip. FORUM CLUB OFFICERS - P. Bur key, H. Stecy, L. Shifflett.

The club published athletic programs for home football games, featuring stories on coaches and senior let- termen. To signify membership in the Booster Club, students paying their dues were given booster buttons and cards. Another res¬ ponsibility of the Booster Club was chartering buses to away games. Loyal boosters followed the teams to away games, and fifty upperclassmen and two brave teachers survived a twelve- hour trip to Muncie, Indiana to back the “Pioneer” basketball team.

It provides an excellent opportunity for these high school students to further their interest and knowledge in the teaching profession by cadet teaching, and to participate in a service organization. Each month speakers lecture to the club and share experiences with Clark’s future educators. Some members participated in a special education conference at Purdue University. F.T.A. OFFICERS — Kathy Broderick, Maureen Loden, Pat Boguslaw, Bev Liehe, and Beth Forbes discuss a money-making project to increase the Club treasury. 70 The Future Secretaries Club provides information about the work of stenographers concern¬ ing duties, expectations, and the skills needed. Each month a former student of George Rogers Clark, who is working in the sec¬ retarial field gives an account of how she obtained her job and al¬ so, information on seeking, apply¬ ing for, and keeping a job. The experiences, routines, responsibil¬ ities, required skills, and know¬ ledge of grammar are discussed. With the ever-inspiring attitude of their sponsor.

In an effort to introduce new activities to the Clark student bo¬ dy, chess has been added to the already established clubs. Receiv¬ ing enthusiastic response from both boys and girls. Chess Club will certainly remain at Clark. Be¬ ginning students are taught the rules of chess, while experienced chess players are given the op¬ portunity to match minds and wits against fellow students. Competition between club members was held in anticipation of choosing a chess club champion. All experienced club members were given the chance to partici¬ pate. Individual games were held and finally Sophomore Allan Jamrose turned back all challen¬ gers and earned the award of Chess Club Champion. The newly-formed club under the able leadership of Mr. Wil¬ liamson prospered to great heights. With much student inter¬ ests the future of the Club is bright. Future Physicians Club Formed FUTURE PHYSICIANS’ CLUB: Front Row : K. Dudzik, R. Fritz, M. Leland. Second Row : W. Rudzinski, E. Tangalos. A newly-formed club, the Phy¬ sicians’ Club, has proved to be a success at Clark. Boys and girls who want a profession in the med¬ ical world are urged to join this organization. Each student is giv¬ en an insight into the role a doc¬ tor plays in our society. Each stu¬ dent must spend four hours each week working at Saint Margaret’s Hospital in Hammond. This work will prepare the student to face his responsibilities as a doctor. The sponsor of this club, Miss Florence Miller, is the school nurse. Trained in her profession she is a capable leader of this club. Miss Miller hopes this be¬ fore-hand view of a doctor’s life will help these students to become better people and better doctors. Miss Wilharm, Earth Science teacher, checks the notebook of Frank Radloff. Literary Club Interprets Plays And Poetry The purpose of the Library Club is to serve students and teachers. Each member is in¬ structed in the fundamentals of the library: how to prepare books for circulation, how to repair da¬ maged books, and how to check out books and magazines. Two Library Club members, Barbara Spaulding and Janet Duncan, attended the Indiana University Workshop for Stu¬ dent Library Assistants. The pur¬ pose of the workshop was to further the knowledge and under¬ standing of the libary. Closely related by an interest in books is the Literary Club. With Miss Carolyn Lambert as sponsor, the club broadens the members’ literary horizons by discussions and interpretations of dramatic works. They discover the distinctive styles of poetry.

The group works in the labora¬ tory and gets first-hand experience in animal dissection. Students are given a relatively free rein to explore as they please in the biological science they find most engrossing. They have at their disposal the very complete Clark lab with the sponsors acting to guide them through the labyrinth of the life sciences. The Biology Club journeyed to Argonne National Laboratory and viewed some of the highly experi¬ mental projects of growing algae in heavy water as well as the lab’s atomic equipment.

The club sold refreshments and checked coats for all school dances, in addition to the annual Hi-Y car wash. Hi-Y stresses the princi¬ ples of service, fellowship, and leadership. The main project, a concert by “The Boys Next Door,” filled the Hi-Y treasury and enabled the club to under¬ take many more worthwhile proj¬ ects. 77 Dedicated to helping others by trained service, members of the Health Careers Club under the guidance of Miss Florence Miller are encouraged to render assist¬ ance in the community and at var¬ ious hospitals. The girls hear speakers and use visual aids to get information about the fields of nursing and health such as X- ray, medical, dental and labora¬ tory technology, occupational or physical therapy and hygienics. The club gives generously of its time and money to service projects in the community and es¬ tablished associations such as the Beatty Hospital in Westville, the Illinois Epilepsy League, and the Lake County Crippled Children’s Association. All members of the club plan to make nursing a career and the able guidance of Miss Florence Miller is greatly appreciated. Health Careers Club Renders Services 78 RED CROSS — Front Rotu : D.

Kraly, M. L. Jamrose. Marilynn Murzyn and Beth Forbes, the dynamic duo, pause from their duties as literary editors and manage to make the job look like fun. With deadlines always just a week away, with picture sche¬ dules running behind time, with advertisers who are being diffi¬ cult, with thousands of pictures without captions, the Powder Horn staff concentrates all its ef¬ forts toward a completed book. Every person on the staff, from the typists to the editors, plays an important part in the unity of the yearbook. It is this teamwork that creates a reminis¬ cence of the high school years. The total picture of a school can only be represented through the activities of its students, therefore, the P.H. staff must be accurate while representing the total picture of the school year. The success of the yearbook depends on many, not only on the hard work of the staff but the patience of the faculty who must tolerate the many intrusions. The effort required is astounding; each page requires a headline, pictures, captions, copy, correctly fitted, and proofreading. Mr. George Muir, publications sponsor, patiently solved all our problems with understanding and tolerance. With Three-Column Layout Picture editors Maureen Loden and Kathy Broderick realize the value of a good print” and sort a stack of rejected proofs. Handling the faculty section of the P.H., Jim Navta and Tessa Zajac see the importance of student-faculty cooperation. Producing a yearbook is a challenging task. Editor Carol Leskovich and Sharon Granger often seek Mr. Muir’s advice. Weekly Paper Keeps Student Body With a deadline in mind, P.N. Pro¬ duction editor Rosie Ihnat and Fea¬ tures editor Diane Krajnak “run off” a last few papers. Editing a publication is time-consuming. Assistant editor Pat Boguslaw and Editor- in-chief Joan Paylo check a problem with Mr. Muir before making a final decision. The Pioneer News then goes to press. The production staff makes certain that enough papers are folded and “blocked” for every Pioneer News weekly edition. Well-Informed And Staff Busy Under the able sponsorship of Mr. George Muir, the Pioneer News has completed its thirty- third year of publication. All through the year, writers could be seen trying to find sto¬ ries and the page editors could be seen trying to find writers. Typists cried over torn stencils, and paper folders cried over reams of paper. But the news continued to be reported. Much hidden work and thought went in¬ to the weekly publication of a newspaper. Pages must be laid out and headlines must be counted so that they fit exactly. News stories must be accurate and features stories must have human interest. Stencils have to be typed care¬ fully and neatly. A pictorial Christmas issue, a Thanksgiving issue, and the Seni¬ or edition highlighted the school year. A good newspaper demands clever headlines. Pat Boguslaw and Jim Navta take a moment to check “heads” for an upcoming P.N. edition. PIONEER NEWS STAFF - Front Row. S. Psikula, S. Smith, M. Tkach. Second Row: C. Berland, D. Priesol, H. Kubeck.

A speedy, rugged defense prov¬ ed to be the keynote of the 1965 Clark gridiron team. Under the leadership of Coach A1 Peterson, the Pioneers finished the season with a record of three wins, five losses, and one tie. The high point of the season was a bone-crushing 6-6 deadlock with Hammond Tech. The Tech Tigers were ranked seventh in the state at the time — until they met the Pioneers. The Clark de¬ fense easily contained the vaulted Tech running attack and repeat¬ edly stopped the Tiger passing game. The defense also set up Clark’s lone touchdown, when linebacker Frank Sroka picked off a pass and ran it back to the Tech 20. On the next play, quar¬ terback Don Abercrombie hit Denis Holmes on a 19-yard pass. One play later, Don twisted over for that one yard and those vital six points. Halfback Dwane Duracz’s fine punt return against Gavit is nullified by a team¬ mate’s clip. FROSH FOOTBALL: Front Row. S. Zatorski, P. Hruskocil, S. Murphree, A. Miterko, manager; B. Dvorscak.

The Washing¬ ton victory was again a conquest for the defensive unit, while the offense provided the thrills in the Highland and Gavit clashes. In individual statistics, Rich Bailey and Denis Holmes led the team in scoring with 18 points each. Rich scored his touchdowns on three runs, while Denis tallied his on two passes and a punt re¬ turn. The 1966 season looks to be ex¬ tremely promising. Three of the four starting backs are slated to return, including quarterback Don Abercrombie and running backs Jerry Milligan and Rich Bailey. Opening the holes for this tandem will be the rugged Clark line which includes six returning regulars. Among those back in the fall will be ends Wendell Turpin and Denis Holmes, and interior linemen Tom Yearsich, Don Fortener, John Buckner, and Len Shifflett. In addition to these, seven oth¬ er lettermen will be returning. These i n c 1 u de Duane Duracz, Mike Dzurovcik, Kevin Enright, Jesse Martinez, Ernie Offredo, Rich Yates, and George Yearsich.

In their opening match the ten¬ nis Tigers drowned the Tolleston Blue Raiders 4-0 in a contest cut short by a downpour. The netmen met stubborn opposition in their next two matches, coming out on top against Valparaiso and E. C. Roosevelt by identical 3-2 scores. The Pioneers then made it four in a row by downing Lew Wallace 4-1. The Heinsmen were upset by Horace Mann 3-2 for their first loss of the season, but bounced back by winning their next two matches without much difficulty. Hammond Tech and E. C. Wash¬ ington were victims by successive shutouts, 5-0. The Racketmen next faced undefeated Hammond High in the most crucial match of the season. The less experienc¬ ed tennis tigers turned pussycat in being outmanned 5-0 by a vet¬ eran Wildcat squad. The racket- men recovered, however, to end the season by over powering Gary Roosevelt, 5-0.

Despite the strong spirit characteristic of Clark wrestling, the effort only afforded a 1-11 record. After dropping the first meet to the Highland Trojans, the Pioneers defeated Washing¬ ton 26-22, climaxed b y John Buckner’s 59 second pin. The Pi¬ oneer potential was again un¬ leashed against Horace Mann as we came within two points of vic¬ tory, 26-24. In the Conference matches, four Clark wrestlers placed: Mike Leland (112) placed first, Bill Do- masica (103), Tom Carpenter (145), and John Buckner (180) all placed fourth. Leland, by win¬ ning the Western Division Confer¬ ence went on to the Conference finals in which he again placed first. Sectional time showed only two Clark wrestlers placin g: Mike Leland, first; and Bill Do- masica, fourth. Wrestler Mike Leland is caught in a familiar position. Mike had a very suc¬ cessful season, winning the sectionals and competing in the state meet. WRESTLING - Front Row. L. Witt, L. Shifflett, D. Fortner, S. Hurley, M. Tucker, J. Budnyk, S. Murphree, W.

Matlon, Clark’s Pioneer basketball team ended its season by losing to regional finalists Hammond High in their first game of the Hammond Sectionals. The loss gave the roundballers a 6-14 rec¬ ord for the 1965-1966 season. The season opener saw Clark journey to Muncie to play the Muncie Central Bearcats and come out on the short end, 76-64. The round-bailers returned home only to lose to S. B. Washington 73-46, Hammond High 72-56, Horace Mann 71-64, and E. C. Roosevelt 77-43. Clark stopped the skid by up¬ setting Gary Tolleston, the first victory over Tolleston in eight years, 54-52 after trailing by as much as 14 points in the third quarter. The Pioneer’s all out ef¬ fort against Tolleston worked to Hobart’s favor the next night 80- 72. The roundballers bounced back against Lew Wallace 80-78. The Holiday Tourney saw Clark and new coach Dave Hein eli¬ minated by Bishop Noll 71-58. Opening the new year, the Pio¬ neers were ready for the “must game” and trounced cross-town rival Whiting 76-58. Washington stymied the Pioneers 78-39, but a win over Gavit and a 74-52 job on Munster lifted the Pioneers. A four game losing streak ensued with Tech, Valpo, Morton, and Griffith subduing the Pioneers by sizeable margins. Balanced scor¬ ing, and scrappy play enabled the roundballers to edge Emerson 67- 65, with a basket at the final buzzer. The courtmen closed out the regular season by losing to Gary Froebel 96-49. A maximum defensive effort by Jim Ulm forces Valpo’s Steve Seelig to hurry his shot while Don Abercrombie prepares for a possible rebound. 99 Freshmen , B-Squad Gain Experience, Point Coach Hein explains what to do next during a vital time out late in the game against Emerson. The scrappy play of the determined Pioneers ended in their comeback victory that was decided by a last second basket. Clark B-squad opened its bas¬ ketball season by losing to S. B. Washington. The Settlers then defeated Hammond High and Horace Mann before losing to Tolleston. Next they beat Hobart but failed in their following en¬ counter with Lew Wallace.

With seven victories from a thirteen game schedule the Homesteaders produced a win¬ ning basketball team. In 1965-66 they continued the promising show of five wins in the previ¬ ous season. First victories, over E. C. Roosevelt and Whiting, came on successive days and fol¬ lowed a football season that pre¬ pared the boys for the stamina test of basketball which conti- ues from early December until February. 101 Hamers Look To Future; Frosh Win City In the words of a certain Ham¬ mond Sportswriter, “Cross-coun¬ try isn’t a sport, it’s an exercise in the theory that the mind is stronger than the body.” The Clark Cross-Country team of 1965, with Coach Shields at the helm, proved this statement and showed the way for greatness in the coming years. The team this past year has developed a type of mental pre- pardeness and sense of togeth¬ erness not seen in other years and other teams. Although this past year was only a “rebuilding year”, the runners often rose to the occasion at their meets. The varsity, led by letterwin- ners D. Kirk, J. Schaffenberger, T. Whiteside, M. Leland, B. Bo- CROSS COUNTRY - Front Row. Kirk, T. Whiteside, B. Bobin, M. Dia. Row: Mgr. C. Poi, Mgr. B. Shourek, D C. Pallo, R. Ruman, J. Haddad, T. bin, and M. Duhon, had a rea¬ sonably good year with a record of six wins and twelve defeats. Their wins came against such teams as Munster, Tech, Morton, ECW, and Whiting. The frosh-soph team ran even better, posting a 17-8 record over all, beating such teams as Gavit, Whiting, Morton, and Noll among others. One of the really bright points of the year for Coach Shields was the frosh victory in the city, beating all competition. Taking the frosh victory, the frosh-soph record and runners, and the fact that Darryl Kirk will be the only varsity runner lost through graduation points out a brilliant future for the Harriers of Clark. Pioneer distance ace Darryl Kirk puts forth his final effort in gaining a first place finish in a cross country meet at Forsythe Park. 5. Ruf, J. Vrabel. D. 3ii, M. Leland. Second . Walzcak, D.

The Clark teebreakers, under the direction of Coach Oral Wat¬ kins, posted a commendable 9-15 record for the 1965 season. Al¬ though the team featured two seniors, junior Bob Bubnovich was the only one having previous varsity experience. The season was highlighted by conference competition, the Dyer Invitation¬ al, the Sectionals, and the Ham¬ mond City Tourney. The duffers rallied from a slow start to earn a 5-4 conference record, finished 25th in the 37 team Dyer Invi¬ tational, placed 15th out of 26 in the Sectionals, and 5th out of 6 in the Hammond City tourney. Bob Bubnovich led the squad with a 44.2 average. The 1966 team is expected to be one of the finest and most ex¬ perienced golf teams Clark has ever had. The four returning let¬ termen, Bob Bubnovich, Rich Matlon, Ron Warner and Rick Weiner will carry the golf burden now that seniors Jim Ruf and Nick Bubnovich have graduated. Even though next year’s team will be young, experience from past years is a bright characteristic for the future of the golf team. Un¬ derclassmen are also included in the scheme for future strength. 103 Hatczel Sets City Mile Record; Frosh-Soph TRACK TEAM - Front Row: R. Plys, M. Miskus, T. Holmes, M.

Under the expert leadership of Coach Ed Powell, Clark’s varsity and Frosh-Soph track teams com¬ pleted another successful season. The highlight of the season was the 18-team Clark Relays. In this annual event, which was held for the first time “under the lights”, Clark finished third in their di vision, even though they suffered an unfortunate disqualification in one of the relays. Other notable finishes by the varsity were an overwhelming victory over Whit¬ ing and a fine second place finish to a strong Froebel team in a quadrangle meet. Perhaps the most outstanding record, and the one which offers the most promise for future Clark track successes, was the excellent performance of the Frosh-Soph cindermen. During the season, the Frosh-Soph cap- 104 Win City Indoor Meet The strenuous work of Clark’s trackmen is put to a test after the gun sounds.

A correct transfer of the shuttle often determines the race’s vic¬ tor. tured first place finishes seven times in nine outings, and finish¬ ed second the other two times. Included in these wins were vic¬ tories in the City Indoor and the Clark Frosh-Soph Relays. Two varsity school records fell during the year. One of these was the mile record which was brok¬ en by Bob Hatczel. The mile, which Bob ran in 4:32.0 was la¬ belled as one of the fastest miles run during the 1965 season. The varsity mile relay team also es¬ tablished a mark for future Clark teams to shoot at. The relay team, consisting of Rich Bailey, Bob Hatczel, Daryl Kirk, and Tom Vrabel, ran the mile in 3:31.8 to break the old record. In addition to these marks, eight Frosh-Soph and four freshman records also were broken. 105 Piratemen Defeat Conference Champs, VARSITY BASEBALL — Front Row. D. Abercrombie, S. Mastej, B. Harper, G.

A sputtering start caught the Pi¬ oneers on the short end of a 1-0 opening game against the High¬ land Trojans. Bob Harper helped the Pioneers bounce back with a 6-0 trouncing of the Gavit Gladi¬ ators on a frozen Purdue North field. It was at this point that Pio¬ neer luck severely trailed off with the hardballers dropping five in a row. The Tech Tigers caught the Aldrichmen on the rebound, and were stunned by Tom Strb- jak’s game-winning double. Ham¬ mond’s Wildcats marooned the Piratemen 18-5, while East Chi¬ cago Roosevelt and Washington held the team to one run apiece. The season was highlighted by a sparkling victory over the Wes¬ tern Conference champs, and cross-town rivals, the Whiting Oilers. The pitching of Bob Har¬ per, shining outfield play of Greg Rosen, and sheer determination on behalf of all the players, plac¬ ed the overconfident Oilers on the bottom, 5-4. Next in line, the Tech Tigers, insured the baseball- ers of a cellar-birth by dropping them, 10-6. Though the season proved to be dismal with a .214 team playing percentage, hopes are high for next year with nine returning lettermen.

These boys perform intricate maneuvers on the paral¬ lel bars, trampoline, and excer- cise horse, as well as doing free exercise. Added importance has been placed on gymnastics in Hammond so this will be a rapid¬ ly expanding club. Led by Coach Franklin the gymnasts were very successful in season competition. The club is composed of eight members, but added interest in gymnastics is increasing steadily. This year the gymnasts have journeyed to other schools to com¬ pete and meets have also been held here in the Clark gymnasium.

Physical Fitness Stressed In Curriculum Daily calisthenics are part of a routine which comprises a typical gym class so that young Americans keep fit. After receiving thorough instruction about the fundamentals and techniques of basketball, the girls ' gym classes attempt a game of basketball. Clark’s Varsity, B-Squad, and Freshman Cheerleaders kept spi¬ rit alive at all games. Besides leading cheers, they organized pep rallies and made tags. Miss Myers sponsors the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders decorated a car for the 4th of July parade and for the Homecoming parade and taught the student body new cheers and cheering techniques. The varsity cheerleaders also in¬ struct girls who wish to become B-squad cheerleaders. At the sec¬ tional pep assembly, the varsity cheerleaders were presented with silver megaphones. In gym classes, boys and girls learn the rules of common games and how to play them correctly. Carrying out the physical fitness program, calisthenics and exercis¬ es are a daily routine.

This money helped to pay for Thanksgiving baskets, the picnic, and the climax of a sport-filled year — the Girls’ Athletic Club Banquet. Four sports dominated school hours. During the first semester, members concentrated on softball and swimming. After the Christ¬ mas vacation, eager bowlers creat¬ ed a din with the crash of lofted halls, and tense teams played hard during the all-important basket¬ ball tourney. The winning basket¬ ball team and the high-average bowlers received trophies at the Mother-Daughter Banquet in the spring. Valerie Johnson strives for a needed strike while she earns GAC points. Student Council Initiates Intramural Pool The Hustler, Jeff Grigson carefully plans his next shot during intramural pool. Intramural bowling provides after-school relaxation for athletic-minded Clarkites. The word t o describe this year’s Student Council Intramu¬ ral sports program is successful. Students eagerly participated in intramural basketball, bowling, volleyball, and the newly-formed sports of pool and a tug-o-war. For the third year intramural basketball proved to be a great success. More than one hundred boys took part in the program which was held on Saturday mornings. Teams captains were selected, and ten basketball teams were formed. Good sports¬ manship and team participation were stressed. This year much interest was aroused by the bowling program. More than one hundred fifty Clarkites participated in this sport. Trophies were awarded to the best team and to the boy and girl bowling the highest game. Intramural volleyball once again proved to be the most suc¬ cessful sport. A tournament was set up with competition between the members of each homeroom. The winning homeroom received a plaque designating their victory. For the first time in Clark’s history a pool tournament was held. Teams were picked and a round-robin tournament was set up. Games were played at the pool tables at the same time bow¬ lers were on the alleys. Clarkites showed their muscles at the tug-o-war. Classes wore their class colors as seniors com¬ peted against sophomores, and juniors against freshman. Due to the great response and approval by Clarkites, Student Council planned another tug-o-war for the spring. I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more — the feeling that I could last forever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men. — Joseph Conrad School Board Expands Innovations The Hammond Board of Edu¬ cation, under the capable direc¬ tion of Superintendent of Ham¬ mond public schools, Joseph Hen¬ dricks, has a great deal of influ¬ ence on the student school lives.

Dan Carlson, president, Sharon Granger, secretary, Judy Kmetz, treasurer, and Tim Hovanec, vice-president, handled class affairs for 1966. The Class of 1966 officially be¬ gan in September, 1962, under the sponsorship of Mr. Oral Wat¬ kins and Mr. Michael Hriso. Our first major undertaking as freshmen was the election of class officers. “Bossa Nova Bounce” our first class dance was the most remembered event of our frosh year. In the early part of our soph year, we chose class rings. Next, we again presented a class dance, “Sugar Shack Shambles.” As Juniors, we produced our play, “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay” and worked diligently on our Prom, “Prelude to an End¬ ing.” At last we were seniors! Our senior class dance, ‘Yesterday’s Gone’, the ordering of name cards and announcements, the fittings for our caps and gowns, our senior banquet, baccalaureate, and com¬ mencement will remain in our thoughts forever. Our four years of high school especially our last year were truly years to remem¬ ber. As we go into the future we can never forget the experiences and memories Clark has given us, and we’ll never forget 1966, our year. 126 We Prepare For Opportunities Of Tomorrow Senior girls, transformed into Mary Poppins’ maids, “feed the cats strychnine” at the Homecoming pep assembly to cheer the team to victory against Hammond High. Senior Class Queen and King, Juanita Rokita and Jeff Grigson, reigned over the successful Senior Class Dance. ‘Our Hearts Were Young And Gay’ But Now Nancy Marie Adam—Vocal Music Organizations 1,2, 3, 4; Booster Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Y-Teen 1, 2, 4; Biology Club 3; Literary Club 4; Health Careers’ Club 4; Forum Club 4.

The first acti¬ vity was Homecoming and the “Class of 67”, for the second straight year, captured first place with their float, “Monstro the Whale”. The class play “Our Town” was the first drama to be staged at Clark in many years. The Juniors worked hard and the play proved to be a tremendous success. Much credit must be giv¬ en to those in the cast and on the many play committees. The Jun¬ iors had their first dance after Lent and with many hard hours work made it a success. The Prom, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was held at the Windermere Ho¬ tel May 20, 1966. Juniors Take First With A ‘Whale’ Of A Float Abercrombie.

Be¬ sides the usual activities, several others were founded. Class unity also played a vital part in a suc¬ cessful year. The class began the year by sponsoring a “Squires Concert.” Not only was this their first money-making project, but it was also the first time it was ever attempted in the school by a class. To the sophomores, Homecoming was something spe¬ cial. Not only had they captured second place with their float, “Dumbo,” but also won first place for Home Room sign. Excitement marched on as the class of ’68 received their rings. On “Service Day” the entire class participa¬ ted in performing odd jobs on the donation basis.

After a year of hard work, freshmen finally gain¬ ed their place at George Rogers Clark. Mrs. Snider and Mr. Majcher have sponsored the Class of 1969.

That ' s because we try always to fill higher, more responsible jobs from the ranks of our employees. And the records show—the better the em¬ ployee ' s education, the better he is at his job—and the better he does for himself. Inland employees continue to gain knowledge and ex¬ perience in special trades through formal apprenticeship programs offered in the following trades—Machinist, Patternmaking, Boilermaking, Welding, Shop Electrician, Wireman, Mason and Pipefitter. Many concentrate on certain phases of steelmaking by working in production while others work in laboratories helping to assure quality or developing new and better products for our customers. How about you? Inland Steel is steadily expanding. More and more opportunities will be open to you as our growth continues. Are you ready?

It was a year which passed like a moment, but the memories of 1966 will remain with me forever. I will always remember the panic of our final deadline, the unsuspected problems we always overcame, and our sheer delight when the Powder Horn was finally done. I deeply appreciate the ever-enduring patience and help of Mr. Muir and the many people who took pictures, wrote copy, identified pictures, solicited ads, sold subscriptions, and accomplished all the necessary tasks in order to tell the story of our school year. To all of you who helped make 1966 a moment to remember, my heartfelt thanks.
