1962 SHIELD Volume: III Highland High School Highland, Indiana Here at Highland the unforgettable moments are held as memories in the hearts and minds of the student body. As the sense of adulthood is slowly approached, we are aware of the realization that she is not only a high school that respect and are grateful to for the opportunities she has given us, but a WORLD SO FILLED WITH THE LIFE . . . THE SPIRIT . . . AND THE KNOWLEDGE. As time passes we will recall these things and the wonderful moments when we . . . crammed for finals . . . welcomed alumni . . . walked the halls with that certain someone . . . cheered our team with all our hearts . . . completed our first football field . . . and how can we ever forget the noise of construction busily improving and modernizing our school? This is a place we will never forget.

Filling out numerous cards of enrollment, senior Roger Colby briefly recalls the 3 6 cards of his past and deftly finishes his last set for high school. New replaced old as the shelter on the property adjoining the school was torn down and the debris carried away by town workers. OPENING ITS DOORS in September of 1957, Highland High School has progressed from a single court, three class school into a double court building attended by five classes. The first year was one of establishing precedents, such as code of dress; sportsmanship also played a meaningful role in those unveiling years as Highland captured the Sportsmanship Trophy in the 1960 Sectionals and the Letterman’s Club presented a Good Sportsmanship banner to remind all of this virtue. The new replaced the old as the condemned shelter was torn down and a new football field was built. Honors have been bestowed on this young institution that are often sought through many years of diligent loyalty. The second volume of the SHIELD was rated All American. 4 Set Precedents, Encouraged Growth, and Merited Honors Officers of the Letterman’s Club, Tom Garbett, Jeff Brodine, Dennis Fandrei, and Harry Slamkowski, admire the blue and gold banner their club presented to the school in sym- bolizing their high ideals. ENCOURAGE Sp QRTSMANSHIP scholarship clean living clean speech LETTERMANS CLUB 1961 Individuals Visualized Least A TYPICAL DAY in the life of a student involves such a variety of seemingly unnoticeable instances. Remember the times you forgot to take a pencil to class, the day you brought the wrong book; or recall the long, long lunch line when you were so hungry, or the time you were in such a hurry and someone ran into you scattering your books all across the hall. Perhaps your mind drifts back to the day before the prom and the teacher kept interrupting your thoughts with such trivials as Who was the seventeenth President of the United States?” Maybe your most embarrassing memory is when the teacher intercepted a note to your best friend; or was it the time you got caught napping in class. Approaching- the building, Tom Garbett is awakened by the crisp, cold air to the reality of anothei school day filled with typical yet unexpected events. Ooops! Forgot something. That’s a laugh 6 Conspicuous Instances When Remembering Their School Day Studies capture a great deal of each students time and energy as they imbibe knowledge from books, lectures, and people about them. Life is not so short but that there is always time for courtesy. She forgets everything. Food at last. There, that does it. What time, tonight? Enjoying a relaxing noon hour, the girls take a break from their studies as they dance to the latest popular songs. Cafeteria Proudly Hosts Majority of Daily Activities Doin’ the Twist was considered quite the most popular dance at the after-game soc-hops in the cafeteria. « ' LUNCH, STUDYING, dancing, sports — they are all a part of the school life housed in Highland High School. The cafeteria is often the center of activities. During the school day many students attend classes and study hall here, and at noon everyone seems to find their way to its portals. The girls enjoy a relaxing period of dancing to divert from the regular routine of studies. After that final bell sounds at the end of the day, students look forward to the evening activities. About six o’clock the football players begin to gather in the lobby outside the cafeteria; following the game, all the students will again return to the double doors of the cafeteria to attend the soc-hop, one more activity she proudly hosts. and Special Occasions Tying shoes and making last minute adjustments the players just enjoy a relaxing moment before they go trotting onto the field. Securing his lunch from the new special lunch line, this hungry student is thankful for the addition of the hot tray that makes this speedier line possible. 9 Timely twistin’ teenagers . . .

Fashions Abounded as Fads LET’S TAKE A LOOK at the life of A. Fad. Here he comes riding atop that girl’s coiffure. Everyone seems to notice because he’s new in town, and is greeted with jeers of Hi, furry! and Hey, dig that crazy hat.” A bell sounds and A. Fad finds himself shut up and seemingly forgotten in a dark dungeon, but the spark has been kindled and soon a fire will blaze. News is abuzzin’ and soon everyone is talking about the new furry hat; A. Fad’s climb to fame has taken its first step. The scene moves to a week later . . . everywhere you turn you see them — white ones, black ones, red ones, green ones — and there is A. Fad right at the center, in all his glory. Now A. Fad is only a memory; but who is this, a stranger in town? 10 Typical of many steady couples throughout the grades, junior steadies, Dave Smith and Karen Soderstrom were seen around school in their matching ski-sweaters. Giving Martha Hart a helping hand with her hair, Diane Laucis agrees that girls at Highland give special care to their hair and enjoy coming up with interesting and unusual hair styles. Came, Went Keeping Fancies Stimulated and Everchanging Plaid jackets, furry collars, and fuzzy, jingling hats were the fancies this year for crisp, winter weather. Boys, too, went in for soft collars as well as the in-between length of jackets. 11 Silhouettes Outlined Social, Academic, and School Life 12 Faculty — such an everpresent element of school life, often over- looked and yet so much the axis on which the day rotates. A silent shadow, a mere memory — each individual leaves a part of himself — youth. 13 German Exchange Student, Michael Schulz, glances over possible references in Highland’s school library for a report. Advanced Courses Challanged STUDENTS MUST REALIZE sooner or later that if they are to be successful in this area of their life they must study. The library is a popular haven for this; it also explains the large enrollment in the study halls that are in session all through the school day in the cafeteria. Classes offer advanced work for those students capable of more and who are not challenged by the regular courses of study. This advanced work generally takes the form of outside reading, special reports, and complicated projects. The liberal arts, government, economics, Latin, and English especially use this program of giving more work to the superior students. But some of the special books assigned were not for outstanding students. Busy keeping up with immense amount of homework, students take advantage of the study halls in the cafeteria. 14 Outstanding Students Who Realize Importance of Study Students of government, Judi Brannen, Sue Grimm, Judie Austgen, and George Asdell discuss for the class’ benefit the current problem of segregation facing the nation. History, Speaking, and Literature Laid Foundation for Explaining in greater detail what is demanded and who are the consumers, Mr. Robert Gray, economics teacher, reviews his lecture notes for Janet Hall, and Bill Swisshelm. 16 Typical of the Latin room, the Colosseum pro- vides an interesting background as Pat Lowery and John Gaston give Sue Carlson a helping hand with her translation. Adult-World Relationships and Further Formal Education Organizing their ideas, speech students Mike Planert, Sue Ripley, and Eric Lien rehearse their sketch for the class. Portraying Romeo and Juliet”, students of English Literature, Alice Solberg and Marilyn Falk, earn class credit as they entertain classmates. 17 Students Received Honors at College Institutes and Proudly admiring the All American 1961 SHIELD, Patty Peterson, Editor-in-Chief 1962 Publication, Bevra Paul, Editor-in-Chief 1961 Publication, and Mr. Dean Speicher, Director of Publications, reflect on the desire and hard work that produced the award winning publication. Discussing their enlightened experiences at the Philadelphia Na- tional Key Club Convention, Tom Ayers, Skip Carlson, and Dennis Fandrei agree that it was an opportunity well worth it. Displaying the medals and ribbons awarded for superior instrumen- tal performances, Chuckie Deak and Bill VanderHaar take pride in the experiences as well as the honors earned through their many years of lessons and practice. 18 Attended National Conventions; SHIELD Won “A” Rating Bon Voyage! Preparing for their trip to New York City to attend the 3 8th annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association convention are SHIELD and TROJANAL editors, Judi Brannen, Patty Peterson, Corinna Kaarlela, and Sue Ripley. Drama enthusiasts, Penny Karr, John Monbeck, Maryann Ulrich, and JoAnn Bacon, attended summer college institutes to learn more about the theater arts and gain experience in the production of skits and plays. Attending journalism institutes at various universities across the country, major publication editors, Donnelle Bokich, Patty Peterson, Judi Brannen, Sue Ripley, and Maryann Ulrich, not pictured, began their planning early in the summer. 19 First things first, and in order to construct anything in shop or mechanical drawing one must have the proper tools. Samples of some of the utensils used are displayed here for view of those interested. Students of architectural drawing, once familar with the tools, were shown slides to demonstrate the correct use of them and the various steps one takes in constructing their plans. School Offered Business and “WHICH CAREER should I choose?” is a question every person asks himself. High schools try to prepare the youth for further education in a specific field or for a career upon graduation from high school. Training for one of the more common fields of the business world a student begins his study the day he enters school. Home economics, shop, mechanical and architectural drawing can be backgrounds for just a few of the opportunities of the business world. The school can offer these subjects, but it’s up to the student to take advantage of them. No one can make one learn, one must have the will. But learning does not end with the school, the world and the people in it offer a whole new education. With the proper use of tools and after careful planning, Jeff Mehan starts the constuction of his model home on a miniature scale in wood shop. 20 Practical Courses to Prepare Students fot Useful Careers Fashions of today call for a short hem line and while keeping up on the latest, Ann Brisco receives a helping hand from classmate Kathy Tarbuck. Culture Appreciation and Participation Widened Scope CULTURE, a major part of any school, has not been neglected at Highland High. Choral students were exposed to professional singing experiences and performed a variety of music; they, along with the extra-curricular groups, presented their traditional seasonal concerts. Madrigals and Triple Trio, meeting entirely on the members free time, booked engagements with various civic organizations. Embodied in the large band is the instrumental side of our music department. Its performances varied from marching at football half times or playing at basketball games to concerts for Highland and other schools. Art classes also presented many opportunities for widening the scope of their horizon of refinement and appreciation. Included in the projects completed by art students is that of ceramic tile. Metta Ezra and Herman Biesen work on different phases of the process. Developing personal traits is important in high school and Mr. Edwin Kibiger, director of the high school band, drills his students to cultivate their skills and interests. 23 Science Research Offers Broad In order to be a student projectionist one must know how to run the projector. Here an aide demonstrates the proper way to thread the machine. No, Rex Livingston, Don Farmer, and Steve Bailey, aren’t standing on top of poor Ken H arrison; they are demonstrating their skills in rope climbing for Mr. Ken Sypult, physical education instructor. OPPORTUNITIES are many and varied, but they don’t just present themselves, one must aim toward them. Business courses train young minds for the business world. Courses for individual advantages are based on an advanced scale, as the college-level calculus course offered to outstanding junior and senior math students. In this day of space travel and scientific advancements, the wide horizons in medicine and research beckon as strong opportunities for further study and careers. Physical education strengthens the body as academic courses build the mind. Acquiring physical skills and having a sound body are just as important as accumulating knowledge and having a good sense of judgment. Mechanic or secretary? It doesn’t make much difference; all the typing students learn the fine art of typewriter cleaning demon- strated by Jon Barker. 24 Horizons As Business World Beckons Toward Opportunities Math can amuse you, but it can also confuse you.

Alumni Returned for Second Annual Homecoming, Viewed In creating Ice Cream for Victory, Lick ’Em”, the Junior Class upheld a tradition by winning the trophy. Many entertaining hours were put in on the float, each had his share of laughs, jokes, and cooperative work. Another first for Highland High — the traditional bon fire was viewed by students and alumni on the school grounds. As the wood crackled and blazed, boosters brandished red devil heads on sticks in lieu of a hopeful victory over the Lowell Red Devils. Working as part of the Adult Booster Club, Mr. George Barney straddles the ladder in a final attempt to secure the pole. He and Mr. James Radford worked together against time to complete construction of the football field for Homecoming. ECSTATIC WITH EXCITEMENT and anxious for activity, the students restlessly endured classes while their minds aimlessly wandered to the thrills of the preparations for the Homecoming celebration. The field was being made ready for the principle game of the season; floats were awaiting their creators, gaily decked in yards of wire, stuffed with thousands of napkins, and molded with hours of sacrificing, yet rewarding efforts. Time had brought the parade to reality; each organization was represented by its symbol of school spirit and pride. Ablaze with the flame of expectation for the final approaching festivities, alumni and students, alike, paraded around the bon-fire. 26 Newly-Established Traditions GAA supported the team in the Homecoming parade. Waiting for the procession to begin, Jim Murn joins Helen Mosora, Pam Rogus, Judie Austgen, and Carol McDonald in cheering. Reigning over their last Homecoming the queen nominees, Georgia Geiselman, Donelle Bokich, Kathy Miles, Hilda Goode, Judi Brannen, and Martha Hart, create a float overflowing with smiles, high hopes, beauty, and great expectations. One, two, three, four . . . Fight on Highland High School . • • Oh, say can you see . . . 27 4 ' St ' TEARY EYES AND HEAVY HEARTS characterized a few, but the s pirit and excitement of the game overcame and held off the sad reflections of another Homecoming. For the seniors this was the last one they would take part in, for next year they, too, would be alumni returning only to be spectators; but for the underclassmen there were already expectations of next year’s celebration. That evening was another first for Highland — the first Homecoming on the new football field. All joined in the spirit of the game as the cheerleaders led the crowd in deafening encouragement for victory. The players felt the enthusiasm as they threw themselves into the action with determination. Football requires determination and fight; Coach Ken Sypult has the ability to instill the will to win in others, shares his spirit with his boys in a pre-game pep talk. Lending a helping hand, the Adult Booster Club operated the con- cession stand and here they are making preparations for the crowd. Following his team onto the field, co-captain Joe Smothers leaps through the victory hoop as cheerleaders Patti Peterson, Carolyn Hall, Mel MacKenzie, and Anita Morris, encourage the desire to win. Supporting their team in victory or defeat the cheerleaders and making a hope for victory come closer to a reality in completing crowd alike give a deafening encouragement for a touchdown in their Homecoming festivities. Gee, I hope so.” We finally made it.” Anita, did it count?” . . . And a loyal court. Approaching the closing gates of the Homecoming game, Mr. Allen Warren, principal, leaves a field of victory. Still echoing with shouts of joy, the new field presented a game of courage and determination. WHO CAN TELL what is in the heart of the girl who has become Homecoming queen? Surely it holds joy, self- satisfaction, and the tears express a deep feeling of gratitude. She tries to swallow the lump in her throat and give forth the winning smile as she graciously turns to face her audience. With the crown on her head and delicate roses in her arms she faces the people, and they know how she must feel for somehow they have shared this memorable moment. After numerous congratulations she returns to her waiting carriage then makes the traditional journey around the football field. As she waves to the crowds she is the image of happiness; sometime each girl will feel this way. A sparkling crown . . . For some there were memories, for others there were hopes of the future, but each feeling was shared at the annual Homcoming dance. Alumni and current students, alike, dance to a popular tune as memories reoccur. Showing a variety of emotions, the queen, her court, and their escorts are presented to the students and alumni. It was a hectic and heavenly two days for all of them, yet each managed to keep her glowing grace on into the night. Dancing to a tune they will long remember on a night they will not soon forget, the Homecoming queen Martha Hart and her escort, Jeff Brodine, lead off the honorary dance. GREETED BY THE ALUMNI and the student body, the queen attended the Homecoming dance surrounded by her court. As she and her escort waltz to the lead tune and whirl across the gymnasium floor her court and their escorts join in. The crowd watches admiringly, then also begins to dance. This memorable occasion has been one more experience to tuck in a small but significant corner of ones heart. Yule-Tide Spirit Overflows as Students Decorate School Tinkling icicles invite you to join them in But school summons just across the way; the Even in class your mind wanders again to the crisp, clear air. invitation must be overlooked. that wintery scene that beckoned. LAUGHING VOICES, the smell of holly and evergreens, decorated halls and rooms, a new snow covering the ground and clinging to houses, and ice formed on trees, let you know Christmas is near. A feeling of relief and joy ran through the students as they sighted a vacation they would relish and could spend with their friends doing various activities. The snow made it possible for skating, tobogganing, and that old favorite, snow ball fights. Halls echoed the call of Christmas and the festive spirit could not be kept from the class room as all was covered with decorations. Christmas is not complete without a new fallen, crusty snow. On Christmas Eve the carolers would stroll across the crunching snow and sing of the joys of the morrow. Journalism classes decorate their room to help get in the spirit of Christmas. Sandy Curran hangs the last of the frills as Sandy Smith adds the finishing touches to the Christmas tree. 32 and Anticipate Snow-Sports A colorful board full of names, season’s greetings, and many mem- ories, decorated the Journalism room. The Senior publication staff members wished all the students a joyous Christmas. Displaying her crown, Leslie Jones remembers her reign as snow queen at the GAA annual Christmas formal, as her two attend- ants, Anita Morris and Carolyn Hall, look on. Decorated with high spirits and class unity, the Senior ' s gigantic Christmas tree graced the cafetorium with a festive air of holiday wishes. 33 Greek Gardens Presented the Gym as a Paradise Realized A beautiful array of gowns was displayed as the couples formed the traditional archway for the Grand March led by the King and Queen. I didn’t think this tunnel would ever end.” A TOUCH OF VENUS had transformed the gym into a Greek garden to entrance any goddess. Shades of lavender and white enveloped the white-columned patios as the couples floated to the music. Yet only a couple hours earlier nervousness, excitement, and expectation had dominated this scene, as the juniors made last minute preparations for the big moment. Queen Pat and King Jeff graciously reigned over the biggest social event of the year. For the juniors this night symbolized the efforts of their high school career, for the seniors it recalled memories of their creation which had reigned in this gym only a year ago, and they relived that feeling of pride with the underclassmen. Through Three Years Efforts Reigning as King and Queen of the Junior-Senior Prom, Jeff Brodine and Patti Peterson captured the hearts of everyone. They didn’t mind the hard work because they dreamed as they labored of their prom, one they had made a reality. It’s such a beautiful evening.” Your feet would hurt, too!” It was lovely, wasn’t it?” 35 Two by two the Class of 61 enters the school gymnasium for their last participation in a high school function. This was the day they had waited for. Now there were no longer just kids in school, but young adults preparing to accept responsibility. POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE sounded as the Class of ’61 promenaded up the center of the gymnasium to their seats of honor. Once they were seated a lull fell over the crowd as the speaker of the evening rose. This memorable day marked the end of one entire phase of their lives. Their high school days were gone, but as they walked up to receive their diplomas they knew they would take with them many memories. Soon they would face another phase as some would seek further education, and some an occupation among the adults. Leaving the gym one saw tears of sadness on the cheeks of many as the graduates crossed their first milestone in life and their parents realize they no longer look upon a child, but a young adult. Past, Present, Future Combined in a Moment as One Door Filled to overflowing, the gym echoed with sounds, but there were the more experienced members of the audience remembered back, many silent thoughts going through the room, too. Graduates but yet knew all too well the kind of world which was awaiting thought of days to come and days they were leaving behind while these fresh men and women. 36 President of the Class of 61, Gary Moore presents his speech of Performing in the last event of the year, Mr. Gordon Wilder di- future opportunities and challenges. rects his choir as they harmonize in singing the graduation theme song.

AS THE DOORS CLOSE on another school year, for some their last, for others just another step up the ladder, memories flow forth to remind each of the life, the spirit, and the knowledge of Highland High.

They exist for varied purposes — to honor, to serve, to recognize, for expression, for future careers, for social activity. There can be designated varied reasons for one’s affiliation with an organization. There are the joiners, those who prefer a full activity record, and those who carry the load, do everything, and find time for more. Organizations can be your whole high school career and still be a waste of time, or they can be only a portion of your valuably apportioned time and still have a full, rewarding effect.

Student Council Made Laws, Governed Students Highland High School Student Council had a busy year striving to fulfill its purposes: to govern and represent the student body in their best interests; to improve student conditions and student-faculty relations the Council bought and assembled name plates displayed over the teachers doors, and they installed reserved parking signs for Mr. Lon P. Monbeck, Superintendent of Schools, and Mr. Allen J. Warren, Principal. The Student Council also con- ducted the first convocation in which the faculty and caucus members were introduced to the stu- dent body. Remarks were made as to the laws of the school and what is expected as far as student behavior is concerned. Along with all the Evening Activity Requests that they passed were two for themselves. These were to raise money to pay for the teachers name plates and Student Council pins. The delegates also earned money by serving at the Illinois Bell Tele- phone Company’s program on October 6-7. The Council sponsored the Community Chest Drive in the late fall. Leslie Jones, secretary of Student Council, checks to see if the ac- tivities for the coming month have been approved and filed. 42 Students Esteemed by National Honor Society Linda Lane and George Asdell smile proudly as Mr. Warren shows them gold tassels worn at Commencement by National Honor So- ciety members. Being an active service club of Highland High, the National Honor Society is an honorary or- ganization for students who have excelled in scholarship, service, and leadership. Proving them- selves to be of strong character, the members main- tained a scholastic B average. One of the main goals of the Honor Society was to offer service in every way. The members showed their Thanksgiving and Christmas spirits by donat- ing a food basket to a destitute family at Thanks- giving and decorating a tree at an old people’s home at Christmas. The Society also served the school by assisting National Merit Tests taken by juniors, and ushering at school functions and socials. The most important social event enjoyed by Honor Society members was the annual spring banquet. A program with Sue Bassett, president, presiding. Dinner and dancing comprised the ban- quet. The banquet, which took place at a local restaurant, was exclusively for members and their dates; new junior members attended as their first National Honor Society activity.

Key Club Improved Conditions, Helped Others Two year of existence has shown a marked in- crease in the Highland High School Key Club. This year’s activities began last April, 1961. At this time Reid Carlson, president, and five other Key Club members attended the district convention of Key Clubers in Lafayette, Indiana. The program continued into the summer with the International Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, attended by Tom Ayers, Reid Carlson, and Dennis Fandrei. Boys from Canada as well as the U. S. were invited to convention. Activities included the mosquito abaitment pro- gram which continued through two weeks of hard work by the members to relieve the Katie Marsh Ditch of its mosquitoes. The Key Club extended their Christmas wishes to the school with the pres- ence of a beautiful tree in the lobby, and to the less fortunate by gifts of foods they collected from the students. The Key Club-published Student Directory was well received by the students, as was their Discussion and Program for the College Bound students presented in conjunction with the efforts of the National Honor Society. Discussing the many plans for the Key Club’s Sweetheart Dance, which took place in February, are chairman, John Hall, and one of the Key Club sponsors, Mr. John Fruth. 44 F.T. A.

Fulfilling the purpose of the organization, Future Teachers of America, gave students an opportunity to become acquainted with the possibilities and programs of teaching. Open to any College Pre- paratory student maintaining a C” average, the club was under the guidance of Miss Alpha Braun- warth, sponsor. Highland’s chapter of the national F.T.A. was named for Marion York, Johnson Grade School kindergarten teacher. The organization began a busy and rewarding year initiating sixty members at a candle-light ceremony. During the year panel discussions, guest speakers, and films impressed on the members the merits of a good teacher; sub-topics were physical appearance, personality, and obligations to the stu- dents. Guest speakers, both from school and commu- nity, provided the future teachers with first-hand information concerning their field of teaching. Two soc-hops following basketball games pro- vided money for t he service projects. Entering a float in the 1961 Homecoming parade and ushering for College Night in the fall, members rendered their service and support. Louise Casada and Steve Eastham prepare for the panel that in- formed future teachers of the points of poise characterizing a good teacher.

Business Careers Were Influenced by F.B.L.A. Since its first meeting in 1959, the Future Business Leaders of America has become one of the most successful organizations in the school. The officers and sponsors of the club had several goals for the members to work toward: to acquaint its members with a modern business world; to instill in them qualities of leadership, responsibility, and coopera- tion; and to help them develop well-rounded per- sonalities. In the early part of November a bake sale took place with the proceeds used to finance a trip to Chicago. On this trip the members were taken on a guided tour of the Prudential Building and were introduced to the president and vice-president of Prudential. After lunch they visited the Patricia Stevens Secretarial School where they learned the requirements for becoming a good secretary. There were several other money-making projects undertaken by the F.B.L.A. The talent show is be- coming an annual F.B.L.A. project. The teachers and entire student body made the talent show a successful as well as a fun-filled event. On Decem- ber 15, the F.B.L.A. sponsored a soc-hop after the Highland-Chesterton basketball game. Dressed up and ready to go, F.B.L.A. members embark on an ex- citing trip to Chicago. With their sponsors, they visited the Pru- dential Building and Patricia Stevens Modeling School. 46 Drama Club Provided a Chance to Prove Ability This year, as in the past, the Drama Club tried to teach its members not only about acting, but about all phases of the theater. Members were encouraged to develop their own individual talents, to learn to express their thoughts and emotions clearly and to recognize talent in others. In addition to produc- ing one act plays at some of the club meetings dur- ing the year, many of the students took an active interest in reading and discussing plays. Others en- joyed listening to demonstrations and lectures on dramatics. One of the most interesting phases of the theater, covered in these lectures, was the ap- plication of stage make-up. During the course of two semesters the drama- tists attended plays and lectures by other schools and colleges in the area. In November, the members went to Loyola University to see The King and I. The one act play, Happy Journey From Camden to T renton, by Thorton Wilder, was staged by the members of the Drama Club December 8. This play, which portrayed the problems and charac- teristics of an American family during the early 193 0’s, was enjoyed by majority of student body. Penny Karr and Roger Hickman are two of the most talented mem- bers of the Drama Club. Here they are shown diligently rehearsing their parts for one of the plays presented by the club.

Organized in 1957, the Y-Teens at Highland High School have interested girls in service projects and in increasing friendship with other girls, not only from Highland, but from all parts of the Calumet Region. Y-Teens is a national organization directly affiliated with the Y. W. C. A. This year the Y-Teens, fifty girls strong, en- deavored as always to fulfill their purpose: to grow as individuals, in unprejudiced friendship toward all people, and in the knowledge and love of God. The Y-Teens augmented their treasury and pro- vided Halloween fun by sponsoring a costume dance. A ten dollar prive was awarded for the best costume. During the second semester the Y-Teens again sold potato chips. Cooperative members vol- unteered their noon hours for the popular project. In February the Hammond Y.W.C.A. gave its an- nual Sweetheart Ball for the Calumet area Y-Teens and their escorts. The final activity of the year was the World Fel- lowship tea in Gary. Guest speakers for the occa- sion provided inspirational talks and answered questions. Y-Teens visited an orphanage at Christmas and each member took a toy to the less fortunate children. Here Gloria Wheeler and Marilyn Falk display a few of the contributions. 48 SIGN PAINTERS CLUB is a service group active in the area of providing publicity. The brightly colored victory hoop that an- nounces the varsity at the beginning of the bas ketball game as our team streaks onto the floor, and posters scattered about the halls in lieu of some coming event in school life are examples of the sign painters’ projects. As art teacher, Miss Marjorie Bluhm, is well suited to be the sponsor of such an organization. Jim Citta, vice-president, Sharon Wozniak, Pat Patterson, treasurer, Luana Kinsella, Greg Griswold, president, Linda McGregor, secretary, and Pat Lowery gain experience in commercial art through the club. STUDENT PROJECTIONISTS, under the guidance of Mr. Arthur Gilliam, donate their study halls to running the audio-vision equipment for teachers who have signed in the office and wish to make use of films and slides in their classes. Boys interested in becoming projectionists registered at the beginning of the year and received instructions on the use and maintenance of the equipment. They are expected to keep the machines in operable order except when skilled repairs are needed. The projectionists in charge of delivering and showing films are Bob Abraham, Jim Dal- fanso, Joe Klarich, Dave Carlson, Jim Citta, Jim Radcliffe, and Keith Helton. V oluntary Groups W orked Throughout School BOOKSTORE attendants Barbara Hoffman, Vickie Sebastan, and Metta Margaret Ezra under the guidance of Mrs. Anne Mathew, sold various school supplies to the students. Along with the usual paper, pencils, erasers, etc., they sell the paper-back publications of the novels assigned in the English courses. If special projects or posters were assigned the students could purchase the necessary equipment at the bookstore. It carried poster paints, rulers, mark- ing pens, colored pencils, and special paper. The bookstore was open from 7:40 to 8:10 in the morning, during noon hour, and after school. These students worked hard to serve the school. STUDENT LIBRARIANS Nancy Jarmula, Vickie Sebastan, Duke Stamper, Marsha Pelc, Lois Elman, Kathie Hamilton, Jean Susorney, and Linda Lane help Miss Martha Nicholson, Librarian, in various ways during each school day. At least one student librarian is on duty each hour to check in and out books and to straighten up the book shelves and magazine racks. They also prepare newly purchased books, by giving them plastic covers, cards, and regis- tration. Keeping the card catalogue and information file up to date is another of their important duties. The librarians personally serve the students by locating books and past periodicals. Spanish Club Saw El Cid in Journey to Chicago The Spanish Club or El Circulo Espanol, as it is commonly called by members, celebrated its third year of existence by indulging in many and varied activities, all of which were connected with the study of the Spanish way of life. Early in the year the club attended the showing of the movie The Alamo in Chicago. They returned to the city to see the world renowned Spanish dancer, Jose Greco, perform. A third excursion was made to see Al Seiv, a Spanish epic poem made into a movie. The club’s activities were extended to its meet- ings, as they started the year with a program given by a group of boys from Bishop Noll High School about their summer trip to Mexico. The second meeting consisted of a short play presented by the club members, for the purpose of acquainting members more informally with the Spanish life. During the Christmas season, the members, in con- junction with the Spanish classes, made pinyattas, sang Christmas carols in Spanish and made Spanish Christmas cards. In a moment of inspiration, Georgene Mikash, president of Spanish Club, takes advantage of solitude in the Spanish classroom to medi- tate on a beautiful set of Spanish religious carvings.

Science Club Sponsored Many Projects, Reports While Mr. Jon Hendrix, biology teacher, shows a strange affection for snakes, Jim Citta, a science enthusiast, examines a turtle with great interest and curiosity. Biology holds fascination for many and Science Club offers the opportunity to explore its wide fields. To show the values of science as an absorbing pastime is the assignment undertaken by the Sci- ence Club. Anyone in grades nine through twelve who was really interested in the activities of the organization, and who maintained at least a C” average in his school work could join. The club feels that anyone truly interested in science would be taking a science course, and it made this a qualification. One of the many projects undertaken by the club this year was a series of individual reports made by members to the club on some area of sci- ence that had special interest for them. Through the efforts of the Horizons in Science organization, the Science Club was able to secure several speakers from different fields. Mr. Arthur Lien provided a tour through the research laboratories of the American Oil Company on one trip. The Science Club also took on the re- sponsibility of trying to better equip the science department in school. 51 Polished Techniques of Diligent Work Revealed Highland High School’s Band continued to up- hold its fine standards in the 61-62 school year. In this organization, students with musical ability have an opportunity to work together, playing and performing challenging and enjoyable music under the capable leadership of band director, Mr. Edwin Kibiger. The initial performance of the marching band was in the Labor Day parade in Griffith, for which they received and are justly proud of a first place trophy. A pep band appeared during the bas- ketball season at all the home games to cheer on the efforts of our basketball team. The concert band displayed their abilities at sev- eral programs. The first concert was a traditional Christmas Program given through the combined efforts of the band and the choral departments. This was followed by a mid-winter concert, the an- nual spring concert, and various convocations. Dur- ing March the band gave a guest performance at Roosevelt High School. Drum Major, Steve Eastham, dutifully studies the music score as Mr. Edwin Kibiger, director, emphasizes the rythm that Steve must watch for when leading the marching band on the field.

The vo- cal music department consisted of the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, Choir, The Triple Trio, and Madrigals. All were under the direction of Mr. Gordon Wilder. The Glee Clubs, are a training period in voice as well as a period during which they strive to im- prove their ability to read” music. Choir is the selective singing organization which presents various concerts during the school year and concludes in the spring with a public operetta. Extra curricular groups were the Triple Trio and Madrigals. Triple Trio specialized in a light style of music such as Folk songs and popular theatrical songs. Madrigal singing was originally intended for personal enjoyment and not for entertainment. The groups have been singing for two years and have performed for various civic affairs such as Kiwanis, Lions, and women’s organizations, as well as regular school concerts.

International Honorary Society for High School Journalists, Quill and Scroll, was originated at the State University of Iowa by a group of professors that felt the efforts of outstanding journalists should be rewarded. The motto of the national organization is: Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make ye free. A journalist must realize the force of these words that the profession is so firmly based on. Quill and Scroll impresses on students the ideal of scholarship; it advances the standards of the pro- fession of journalism by developing better journal- ists and by inculcating a higher code of ethics; its purpose is to promote exact and impartial think- ing, clear and forceful writing. A member of the society must have done superior work in writing, editing, or in business management and maintain- ing a high scholastic average. Major activity of Quill and Scroll was the spring publications banquet. At this affair the new posi- tions for 1962-63 were announced and retiring edi- tors voiced their gratitude and humble thanks to their staffs. The outstanding journalist was named and presented with a plaque signifying the honor and his name was engraved on the Allen J. War- ren Publications Trophy.

Final Satisfaction Terminates the Effort of the The 1961 award winning SHIELD presented a challenge to this year’s competent staff. The hard work and painstaking effort of the ’61 staff was rewarded by many outstanding honors. The book received an A” rating from the National Scholas- tic Yearbook Association. The National Press Asso- ciation also commended the book highly and be- stowed an All American rating on it. Few people realize the work, frustration, and final satisfaction that combine to turn out a publication such as this. Even before school begins the advertis- ing staff is busily hunting ads to finance the book. Since the yearbook is a record of the happen- ings each year, every picture, copy block, caption, and headline must be arranged to the best advan- tage to relate the full story. It also serves as a pub- lic relation medium to acquaint the community with the school activities, therefore all information must be accurately presented. Finally the last deadline was met, and the staff relaxed. Now the long wait until the final product returned; and so ended Volume III. Pat Peterson, Editor-in-chief, and Mr. Dean Speicher, Publications Adviser, smile proudly as Judi Brannen, Copy Editor, expresses the rewarding diligence that created the All-American 1961 SHIELD, as they survey the signifying plaque, and assures them of an equally representative ’62 publication. 58 CLASS EDITORS AND COPY STAFF — Front row: Diane Dickinson, Paula Hendrickson, Sally Hendrickson, Louise Casada, Linda Hendrickson, Valerie Waltz, Gloria Wheeler, Lee Carroll, Linda Colins.

TROJANAL Exhibited Expert Staff Talent as an As regular subscribers to the TROJANAL, Highland High School’s weekly paper, each pupil received a copy each Friday in home room. The members of the home room attaining 100% sub- scriptions received candy bars. The honor went to Kathy Miles’ senior home room. The purpose of the paper is to bring school and community news to the student body and inform them on national and world affairs. When the pa- per is pictured as a whole, it fulfills its purpose quite well. The TROJANAL is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association, Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Indiana High School Press Asso- ciation, and Quill and Scroll, and has earned dis- tinctions from each. About 125 students from all grades comprise the staff. Sixteen major editors experienced the publi- cation of the four-page weekly paper. The honor of the two major positions was shared this year. Mr. Dean Speicher, Publications Adviser, shares the enthusiasm of the TROJANAL’s major editors, Corinna Kaarlela, Managing Editor; Sue Ripley, Editor-in-Chief; and Donelle Bokich, retired Editor, for the A” rating awarded by the University of Missouri. 60 BOOKHEADS AND HOMEROOM AGENTS — Front row: Lynn Brodine, Tom Goolik, Judy Taylor, Pat Primich, Anita Tatu, Anne Suda, David Stonebraker, John Ulrich, Fayth Woolston, Hilda Goode, Betsy Ceaser, Rich Schumacher, Janet Strange, Maureen Rotz.

News Bureau Attained Public Relations Goal For Better Journalism.” Seminars and conven- tions have become quite popular as a medium for introducing high school students to the growing prominence of journalism. Franklin played host to Hoosier students at the fortieth anniversary con- vention of Indiana Flight School Press Association. The Columbia Scholastic Press Association had its 38th annual Newspaper-Magazine Convention at Columbia University. Mr. Dean Speicher, Pub- lications Adviser, accompanied the SHIELD and TROJANAL editors. The week trip provided the students with an unforgettable experience; they saw New York City from every angle, and ex- changed ideas with journalists from all over the United States. Newly organized at Highland High, the News Bureau sited its purpose and attained its goal. Pub- licity placed Highland High School achievements in the public eye and won recognition for out- standing student accomplishments. Public relations set a new high. News Bureau Editor Gloria Wheeler copyreads the weekly stories by Bureau reporters while Judy Dust, Photography Editor, sched- ules appointments for newspaper photographers to take publicity pictures. 63 Increased Booster Section Cheered Loyally as The largest and most active club at Highland High School, Booster Club, has created that spark of school spirit needed by all the high schools to be successful. Booster Club increased its enrollment by 160% plus the added support of 30 boys who were situated around the block along with the Let- termen. With the increased membership, capes were needed for the new enlarged block. Busily, members of Booster Club generously donated their effort and time to complete the 160 blue and gold capes. Another project taken on by the Booster Club was that of reserving spaces for the Booster Block and season ticket holders at the home basket- ball games. Numbers were painted on bleachers to enable the members in block to organize in less time. On October 5 the traditional Booster Club float displayed the stunning candidates for the Home- coming queen. The following day Booster Club had its traditional Homecoming dance Autumn Leaves” after the football game. The Queen and her court added to the eloquence of the dance. Due to the enormous increase in the size of the Booster Block, members spent many evenings and weekends making new capes to form the blue and gold patterns during the games. At the first home basketball game of the season the Booster Block traditional rival, Griffith High School, flaunted its impressive size and enthusiasm as the team faced its 64 Yell-Leaders Encouraged Team BOOSTER CLUB — Front row : Karen Abblett, Cathy Parker, Mel Mac- Kenzie, Carolyn Hall, Pat Peterson, Anita Morris, Pam Petterson, Sandy Barney.

Spirit and desire are combined to formulate the competition that characterizes all phases of life today. To compete with opposition one must have the determination to develop skill and ability, the first requisites toward a successful triumph. Whether it be an individual sport requiring only a single rival and self- satisfaction, or a team sport striving for cooperative spirit and sportsmanship, when the challenge presents itself, will and fortitude alone can conquer. ATHLETICS 66 Grid Men Overcame Lapse Due to Injuries and Joe Smothers (87), Highland’s end, cradles the ball, weaves through the Blazer defense, and heads for a touchdown. Dick Messner (23) breaks away from one Lowell tackier, as Lannie Wells (64) leads interference. Still clutching the ball, halfback Al Manno looks to the referee for the good word, as Gary Wirt player tried to prevent the attempt, which, as the referee in the background signals, was a success. 68 Tallied Five Victories Highland High inaugurated their 1961 football season during the simmering days of mid-August. Approximately eighty boys, surrendering their carefree, leisure life, reported for the grueling weeks of practice, which so often precedes per- fection. An average day in the life of a Trojan gridder began early in the morning, loosening the shackles of deep slumber to transport twenty pounds of hard leather onto the practice field. His laborious efforts were sternly greeted by a good physical workout and a thorough study of the basic funda- mentals. It has been said that this ritual clearly distinguishes the men from the boys and boldly imprints a strong desire to play. An afternoon passed rapidly for the fatigued athletes as they returned for the evening session. As the burning sun submerged beneath the school’s silhouette, the ever-present audience witnessed the weary Trojans retreat to the locker-room for the overnight rest they well -deserved. As the initial contest drew near, the coach and his assistants swelled with pride over the progress of their charges. Often the ruggedness of these pre- season workouts determines the success of the ap- proaching schedule. Despite the rigors of weeks of torturing practice and body-punishing contact, Highland’s eleven played an outstanding year of high school football. Coach Ken Sypult gives guard Tom Garbett an encouraging talk and important instructions before sending him in for a defensive play. Fight, Courage, Determination ! With fight in their spirit and faith in their hearts, the hopeful coaches, Mr. Ken Sypult and Mr. Randy Sheets, watch the players give their best in a united effort toward victory.

CHESTERTON was High- land’s first defeat, 12-7, with Jeff Brodine furnish- ing both the touchdown and the extra point. CROWN POINT was the Trojan’s second defeat, 19-6, with Dick Messner making the only Highland touchdown that counted. PENN was the last of the first series of bad luck-games, with Highland being defeated 7-0. CLARK looked like another bad luck game until Jeff Brodine broke away for the two touchdowns affording our first win, 14-13. LOWELL felt the fighting Homecoming spirit of the Trojans, as touchdowns were scored by Dennis Fandrei (2), Dick Messner the extra point, and Dave Smith (1), to win by a victory of 19-13. DYER crumbled under the Trojan charging ma- chine 24-7 with touchdowns scored by Jeff Bro- dine, Dennis Fandrei, Dick Messner, and Dave Smith. T. F. SOUTH with its 5-0 record walked off its Homecoming field stunned by the fighting Trojan gridmen 14-6, touchdowns by Jeff Brodine (2) and extra points by Dick Messner (2). EDI- SON, the Calumet Conference leaders, were beaten by good, hard football 19-6, touchdowns by Bob Skelly (1), Carl Topor (2), and extra point by Dick Messner. WIRT and TECH were the ruin of a fruitful season for the Trojan’s, who were minus backs Jeff Brodine and Dennis Fandrei, 12-0 and 2-0, respectively.

Freshmen led the junior varsity football team to a 4-5 record. HAMMOND HIGH was the first defeat, 0-7, for the inexperienced gridmen. GAVIT also proved too strong for the Trojans, as they re- mained scoreless, losing 0-21. E. C. WASHING- TON was their first scoring attempt with Mike Planert scoring the touchdown and Bob Rench converting for the extra point, but the Senators overpowered them 7-21. LOWELL and EDISON were both scoreless attempts, 0-38 and 0-21, re- spectively. MUNSTER felt the growing experi- ence of the young Trojans as they fell under a 21-0 drive, with touchdowns by John Gaston (1) and extra point, Larry Landis (1), Chuck Wag- ner ( 1 ) , and extra point by Bob Rench (2) . DYER also fell scoreless as the Trojans won 7-0 to con- tinue their late winning start, with Bob Rench scoring both the touchdown and the extra point.

Highland’s Cross Country squad ended its sea- son this year with a five and five record. The C.C.’s first meet, a triangular meet against Lowell and Griffith, ended with Highland in last place. John Bullock and Jody Stofko led the Trojans. The second meet, against Morton was also lost. John Popovich and Jody Stofko were Highlands first two runners. The third meet, a triangular meet with Dyer and East Gary, was won by Dyer with Highland in second place for their first win. The lead runners in this meet were John Popovich and Jody Stofko. In the fourth meet, the trojans were once again led to victory over Clark by John Popo- vich and Jody Stofko. The last two meets were both triangular. The first was between Portage and Merrillville; and the second was between Gary Wirt and Gary Edison. Portage won over Highland, but the remaining schools were defeated by our Har- riers who were led again by John Popovich and Jody Stofko. Highland took a second in the Calu- met Conference meet by defeating all of the schools which the Harriers lost to in the regular schedule, with the exception of Portage.

Back row: Coach Merlin Clinkenbeard, Ronald Solberg, 73 Inexperience Hampers Roundball Efforts, But Trojan basketball, the most popular of all inter- scholastic sports, ended on a dismal note for High- land’s five in the 1962 season. Past season records had no bearing on this year’s outcome. The Trojans, reflecting an outstanding 22-2 slate in 1960, along with a mediocre 7-14 record in 1961, plummeted to a poor 1-20 season. Varsity basketball through the past season has had its high points along with its bumps. Next year’s team looks promising with the vast majority of the A” squad returning. Freshmen Chuck Wag- ner and Dennis Clark have set high hopes in the eyes of the varsity mentors. The Trojan coaches are also expecting a tremendous effort from the class of ’64 which is abundant in roundball talent. Basketball may have climaxed its 1962 Trojan season on the wrong note, but the future looks bright and fruitful. Highland High has always been known to accommodate a respectable team. They hope to return to this status in the oncoming years and continue to play the great Hoosier Hys- teria” in fashionable style. Tipping ball away, Carl Topor (21) falsifies East Gary’s two-point attempt.

Attempting a left handed lay-up, Dave Smith (3 0) shoots for two points as Ed Maurushes (3 5) gets into position for the rebound. Looking ahead to a much improved season, the Trojans hit their peak in the Gary Edison Invita- tional Tourney, The men of Troy opened the cam- paign at the home opener as arch rival Griffith caught the Trojans off guard with a 43-25 win. The Trojans traveled to famed Lebanon, coming out on the short end 77-54, for its ninth straight loss of the year even though senior Dennis Fandrei bagged 26 points for his season high. At the Gary Edison Tournament the Blue and Gold brought glory to win over host Gary Edison during the first round of tourney play. Dennis Fandrei and Ed Maurushes collected 23 and 18 points, respectively. Unfortu- nately, the Trojans dropped a 70-43 contest to Hammond Noll in the final game. In a grudge match with Gary Edison, the Trojans succumbed in the final minutes, 64-54, despite another 20-plus scoring performance by sharpshooter Dennis Fan- drei. In the Sectionals the Trojan Five drew Ham- mond Clark’s Pioneers and tumbled to defeat, 64-43. 76 Anxiously watching, Serbo Stojkovich (34) lends his inaudible support as Denny Clark (31) hooks the rebound. Most satisfying to Coach Ken Sypult was ' Seeing the desire and hustle of the Junior Varsity boys as they brought- their record from a disheartening 3-8 up to a much better 10-8 mark. After taking time- out from the regular season to attend the Clark tourney, in which the boys picked up victories over Roosevelt and Hammond Tech, while losing to Cal- umet, the J.V.’s came back determined to improve upon their season record. The Highland Frosh team, under Coach Merlin Clinkenbeard, showed a well-balanced team effort and a sticky defense throughout the year. The freshman season was highlighted by the winning of their own eight-team tourney. The young Tro- jans first taste of tourney victory came at the ex- pense of Gavit in a 39-18 victory. The road to a tourney victory is not an easy one as shown by the close victory over Dyer 46-38. The hopeful Trojans went out to completely overthrow Calumet in a 46-22 victory. The eighth grade cage team, under the leadership of Coach Donn Kaupke, finished the ’62 campaign with a disappointing 4-10 season mark. Drawing a bye in their own six-team tourney, the young Tro- jans lost to the eventual winner, Dyer, 39-29. Desire and Hustle Produced 10-8 J.V.

This pro- gram, under the direction of Coach Ken Sypult, gave boys that did not play interscholastic ball an opportunity to display their skills at roundball. Capturing the tourney crown, the Rippers, with Bob Behary as captain, hold the honors for having the second, third, and fourth high scorers, Dennis Biscan, 15 point average; Dick Messner, 12 point average; and Mick Blink, 11 point average. They also claim the distinction of scoring the highest number of points, as they defeated Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 86-30. Front row: Mick Blink, Pete Bandenicks. Second row: Dick Messner, Bob Behary, Dennis Biscan, Bob Sacha. Proving their ability and determination, five teams competently filled the remaining honorary positions. The Buckeyes, with Tony Biondi as captain, placed second and boasted Joe Smothers as the high point man of the tourney with an 1 8 point average. The teams played at noon on both courts in the gym, with two games in ses- sion at a time, open to the spectating students for the admission of a penny. After a month of competition, narrowing down the odds day by day, the Senators took third place, the Flint- stones claimed fourth, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs captured fifth, and the Gunners came in sixth.

After a 3 and 10 second season, the grapplers finished second in the Calumet Confer- ence with a much deserved 10 and 4 record in var- sity competition. After winning the first contest of the new year the Trojans fell short on points in the next four matches. The schedule was rounded out by winning the final nine contests. Since wrestling has room for every physically fit and determined boy, it rapidly became a popular sport at HHS. Placing second in the rugged Calu- met Conference with 62 points, the Trojan grap- plers trailed powerful Crown Point with 83 tallies. Seniors Tom Garbett and Steve Shanklin in 154 and 120 pound weight classes earned first place honors. Again as before, the eighth graders were in- structed by the more experienced boys of the var- sity squad. Wrestling is an individual competition, one reason for its popularity. The boys enjoy the feeling of self-satisfaction and the knowledge that everything is on their shoulders when they are out on that mat.

Highland track has been steadily growing throughout the years to become one of the leading sports on the interscholastic athletic program. Track this year was greeted by approximately 120 boys, eagerly awaiting their chance to make the squad and receive their uniforms. Coach Donn Kaupke set aside two days in late February for each boy to prove his worthy individuality. Three preliminary meets were held indoors with Highland capturing a pair of victories. In their early season meets, many boys marked themselves as outstanding trackmen. Junior Dave Smith, a phenominal jumper for his size, was seen to clear as much as 2 2 inches above his own height. His junior counterpart, Dave Ritchie, has followed Smith in as equally fine leaps. Freshman Greg Roderick was undoubtably the most promising distance man on the whole squad. Roderick’s untiring pace left many opponents panting far back in the distance. Freshman Chuck Wagner gave the varsity a big life, competing in the broad jump to give the Trojans a steady source of points. Dennis Fandrei rounded out his senior year by becoming one of the leading milers in the Calumet Region. Another outstanding distance man was Tom Garbett, who was nearly always seen placing in the top three. Speedster Jeff Brodine was ham- pered slightly by a late season football injury, but looked promising in early season track practice.

Coach Merlin Clink- enbeard, substituting freely throughout the season, tried to build a solid core of experienced under- classmen on which to build his future teams. Last year, the Trojans came out on top of only three teams, but all three of these wins were over tough conference opponents. This year, the High- landers proved to all that these weren’t simply lucky wins.” The addition of a tournament in April with Griffith, Calumet, and Dyer bolstered the already tough schedule. The men of Troy, lacking outstanding hitting power, used shrewd base running, an alert defense, and a lot of determination in an effort to finish high in the Calumet Conference race. Coach Clinkenbeard, sided by new frosh-soph coach Alex Bucknowski, is eagerly anticipating next years team which will probably field five years of previous varsity experience. Jovially exchanging previous experiences, hard ball enthusiasts Dick Messner and Alan Manno foresee a profitable season. 84 of Lettermen On Which to Build Future Teams Varsity pitchers, Chuck Yates and Alan Mosely, compare techniques as they await batter up” signal.

Also lost was Head-Coach Robert Royer, who was replaced by able mentor Mr. Robert Day. With seniors Mike Huetton and Mick Blink the lone returning lettermen, Coach Day faced rebuild- ing problems with no hope of improving upon last year’s 18-5 overall record.

The Girls’ Athletic Association, better known to the student body simply as GAA, was organized to stimulate interest in extra-curricular physical edu- cation for girls. In order to belong to GAA, each girl must pass a series of skill tests. Then in order to remain in GAA, they must maintain a minimum of points each year. Going by the point system, awards are given. The first award, a sweater with a numeral on the left sleeve, may be obtained when they reach 150 points. For 250 points a letter is given to be put over the left pocket, then for 3 50 points a state plaque will be awarded. Highland High’s GAA has a special award, a small, but significant pin, for those who earn 400 points. This year a pin having GAA in gold letters was given to each member of GAA. In the following years, the new girls com- ing into GAA will receive the pin during their can- dlelight initiation. The girls sold candy once again this year to raise money for their annual formal dance. Other out- side activities included a soc-hop in January, and the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet in May. experience was soon overcome, as the eighth grade cheerleaders, Betsy Caesar, MaryAnn Queer, Mary K. Abblett, Karen Eldridge, and Linda Sulski, displayed their spirit. Freshmen cheerleaders, Margie Haburay, Col- leen Morris, Linda Colins, and Peggy Brannen, list their tourney victory as the highlight of the basketball season. Performing with the varsity squad, the J.V. cheerleaders, Karen Abblett, Pam Patterson, Cathy Parker, and Sandi Barney, gained skill and experience for future success. Cheerleaders Backed the Team, Created Spirit This year the cheerleaders have continued to up- hold the remarkably high standards set by High- land’s previous cheerleaders. This tireless group of girls seem to have an endless amount of contagious spirit to pour forth into the student body. Many of us don’t realize the amount of time and effort put in by the cheerleaders. Not to mention their daily practices after school, the cheerleaders also practiced for weeks before the beginning of school. The loyal cheerleaders were there to lead the crowd at all the football and basketball games re- gardless of the weather. The varsity cheerleaders took a weekend trip last October to attend a cheerleading conference at In- diana University. The conference was highlighted by a contest and a speaker from Michigan State. Outstanding ability and leadership characterized the varsity cheer- leaders, Mel MacKenzie, Carolyn Hall, Patti Peterson, and Anita Morris, whose school spirit and energy never seemed to fail. Personalities — so many, so different, so interesting. People are the diversifying factor of every institution; they are the difference between a school and merely a brick building, concrete walks, and an asphalt parking lot. Each school is identified with its people and every person is influenced by its atmosphere. Student life begins with registration, where the student is just another face. It moves through lectures and labs, games and gab sessions, dates and disappointments. Finally through desire and determination, the interchange of ideas, the fun and friendships, the individual begins, more remembered and valued. PERSONALITIES 90 Monbeck, School Board Accepted Jr. High Plans Papers cluttering his desk and a constantly ringing telephone keep Mr. Lon P. Monbeck, Superintendent of Schools in Highland, busy at all times. The school board is headed by Dr. John Sanik, Jr., an employee of Amoco Chemicals. Dr. Sanik has earned a Bachelor of Science from the Univer- sity of Rhode Island and a Doctor of Philosophy from Kansas State University. Mr. Gordon T. Heim, who serves the school board as treasurer is the assistant superintendent of one of the rolling mills at Inland Steel Company in East Chicago. He holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Business Administration, both from the University of Michigan. The secretary of the school board is employed in the research department of the American Oil Com- pany in Whiting. Mr. Leonard Russum has re- ceived a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Arkansas and a Doctor of Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy. Mr. Lon P. Monbeck, the superintendent of schools in Highland, considers the selection of teachers his most important duty, for with good teachers there is a good educational program. Mr. Monbeck came to Highland the holder of a Bach- elor of Arts from Manchester College and a Master of Arts from Columbia University, and had fur- ther education at the Universities of Michigan, Chicago, and Indiana before accepting his present position in 1950. Making the decisions concerning the school were the members of the School Board, Dr. Leonard Russum, Dr. John Sanik, Jr., and Mr. Gordon T. Heim. These men were instrumental in creating the school policy that has helped make Highland High well known throughout Indiana as a first-class institution. 92 A rewarding job, that of Dean of Boys, belongs to Mr. John P. Fruth, whose counseling services enable him to meet many of the students. The position of Assistant Principal entails keeping the attendance records, the hall monitors, and student parking in order, a job which Mr. Robert E. Day handles well. Administrators Guided Students and Activities Allen J. Warren, Principal, finds a great respon- sibility in running a school, but it is a rewarding and satisfying job. Mr. Warren graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science; post graduate work was done at Butler, Purdue, Indiana, and he re- ceived his Master of Art in 1951 from Ball State Teachers College. Working for the high school as assistant Principal is Mr. Robert E. Day. Mr. Day, a graduate of Ball State Teachers College, also attended Purdue Uni- versity and received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts in Education. Mr. John P. Fruth, while Attendance Officer is his main job, had several other duties. He directed the counseling in academic problems related to scholastic standing credits, and also helped in aiding students in determining their qualifications for graduation. Mr. Fruth attended three colleges — Manchester College in North Manchester, Indiana, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, and Ball State Teachers College, Muncie, Indiana and he earned his Bachelor of Science and his Master of Science. Being principal of a bustling high school keeps Mr. Allen J. Warren occupied arranging, managing, and worrying. Counseling as Dean of Girls is only one of Mrs. Annabelle Shone’s activities; she worked on the plans and production of College Night and Career Day. Arranging envelopes for a quicker delivery, Mrs. Eleanor Tirpak, with aid from Mrs. Martha Brown, finishes one of her many duties as secretary to Mr. Lon P. Monbeck. Shone and Secretaries Aided Everyday Problems Mrs. Hasselbring aids Mr. Warren in all in- stances dealing with the student body. Mrs. Riech- ers, besides helping Mrs. Hasselbring, keeps all high school records and is responsible for the registration of new students. The two remaining secretaries, rarely seen by the students, are Mrs. Eleanor Tirpak and Mrs. Martha Brown, Mr. Monbeck’s secretaries. Mrs. Tirpak served as receptionist and handled the huge corre- spondence necessary for the efficiency of the school system. The bookkeeping, making out of the pay- roll, and the accounting is done by Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Annabelle Shone, Guidance Director and Dean of Girls, is definitely one of the most active women in the school. She gives counseling to all seniors on colleges and careers, and tries to help any girl with her individual problems. Mrs. Shone has also been in charge of all national testing pro- grams. Varied experiences and association with young people are consid- ered assets by Mrs. Laurene Hasselbring and Mrs. Grace Reichers in their positions as office secretaries. 94 Nurse, Cooks, Custodians Kept School Healthy The team work of the school nurse, the custo- dians, and the cooks contributes to the maintaining of the cleanliness and healthfulness necessary for the protection of all the 1 1 OQ students at Highland High. As the school nurse, Mrs. Eileen McCormack’s duties range from routine eye and ear checks to any emergency occurring at any time. Accurate records for every student must be made and filed for any necessary future reference. Even before the majority of students arrive, the cooks are busy in the kitchen readying the good lunches served to the students and faculty each day. Maintaining the outward appearance of High- land High is no small task, but is expertly attended to by Mr. DeVries and his able helpers. Cleaning the windows, sweeping the floors, waxing the floors, shoveling snow, slating the sidewalks, controlling the heat, plus innumerable other tasks all contrib- ute to the beauty of Highland High School. Reassurance and comfort are only two of the appreciated qualities possessed by Mrs. Eileen McCormack in her capacity as school nurse. The most appreciated women in the school at lunch time are the cooks, Mrs. Klarich, Mrs. Swienconek, Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Gross, Mrs. Markovich, Mrs. Van Gorp, Mrs. Boganwright, Mrs. Soderstrom, and Mrs. Garmen, Head Cook. The custodians who work to keep our school fresh and clean are Mr. Lancaster, Mr. Hargroves, Mr. DeVries, Mr. Tremse, Mr. Tyree, Mr. McDonald, and Mrs. Kaczmarcki.

Abblett, vice-president; Betsy Ceaser, secretary; and Karen Eldredge, treasurer; the eighth graders plunged into high school activities by entering a float in the 1961 Homecoming parade. They showed promising organizational ability. Under the guidance of their class sponsors, Miss Dorothy Steffen and Mr. James Garretson, the class of ’66 organized several clubs. The Girls’ Club, spon- sored by Mrs. Annabelle Shone, was divided into three interest groups: Drama, Sports, and Crafts. Members of the Science Club entered Fair projects and heard informative lectures. To signify the end of grade school years the eighth grade had a graduation dance in May. And now, as they stand on the threshold of maturity, the eighth graders look forward to becoming actual participants and members of the high school. Making preparations for their 1961 Homecoming float, the eighth graders, led by Miss Steffen, sponsor, Garry Manno, president, Mary K. Abblett, vice-president, Mr. Garretson, sponsor, Karen Eldredge, treasurer, and Betsy Ceaser, secretary, accepted duties. Mary K.

Mrs. Otelia Holmberg, Mr. James Stryker, and Mr. Robert Gray gave their competent assistance as class sponsors. In February they sponsored a soc-hop that was the first money-making project of their high school career. A party at the Town Theater in late November and a skating party later in the year were other social ac- tivities enjoyed by the “freshies.” They joined the upperclassmen in many school activities, among these being clubs, sports, and Student Council. But the year wasn’t all play and no work as evidenced by the large number of Freshmen on the Honor Roll. A class picnic climaxed a year in which the members of the class of ’65 came to be recognized as promising upper- classmen of the future. Diane Dickinson, secretary, takes notes as Cheryl Groves, president, makes arrangements for a soc-hop, the class’s first high school fund raising project, with the approval of Margie Haburay, vice-presi- dent, and Judy Blaskovich, treasurer.

CAMERA SHY Young, Kollen — w, r -- • W 1 Relaxing during noon hour, the Freshmen enjoy dancing to the popular tunes in the sunny court. The sophomores became aware of many more as- pects of high school life. They were expertly led by president Bill Vander Haar, vice-president Terry Ja- cobi, secretary Bobbi Brannen, treasurer Harry Murphy, and sponsors Mr. Ron Surdzial and Miss Paulette Starcevich. During the year the sophomores backed our teams with great enthusiasm and many of the sophomore players are looking very promising. In anticipation of the Junior-Senior Prom next year the sophomores have wisely made a good start on the tremendous supply of money that is to be needed. Just before the Thanksgiv- ing vacation a soc-hop was held and later a car wash. Another soc-hop took place in the second semester and this was followed by a bake sale. Although it was work, the sophomores admit readily that it sure was fun. This enthusiasm added to the overall success of the projects. The second semester was long awaited because it was time for the sophomores to order their Junior class rings, but even more anticipated was the delivery of the cherished symbols. Pausing in the office to secure an activity request sheet are the sophomore class leaders: Bobbi Brannen, secretary; Harry Murphy, treasurer; Miss Starcevich, sponsor; Bill Vander Haar, president; Mr. Surdzial, sponsor; and Terry Jacobi, vice-president.

Goiuon Bassett, vice-president, points out a few possibilities for the prom decorations to his fellow class officers and sponsors: Kathy Calloway, secretary; Mr. Brummett, sponsor; Helen Mosora, treas- urer; Miss Groff, sponsor; and Mary Ann Ulrich, president. For the class of ’63 this was the year of hard work and preparation. To lead this preparation Mary Ann Ulrich was elected Junior class president. Assisting her were Gordon Bassett, vice-president; Kathy Calloway, secre- tary; and Helen Mosora, treasurer. Mr. Paul Brummett and Miss Carol Groff aided the Juniors’ pursuits as class sponsors. With early organization and prompt launching, the Junior class began their long list of achievements by winning the award for the best Homecoming float, with the theme Ice Cream for Victory, Lick ’Em.” The Jun- iors continued their agenda by planning activities for each month of the school year. A soc-hop followed the Chili Supper, one of their biggest money-making projects. They had their class party in January and the traditional Junior-Sophomore Basketball game convened in March. Raising funds is always the aim of the Junior class in anticipation of the year’s peak event — the prom. Candy bars enjoyed wide sales in November. They were the sole salesmen of magazine subscriptions and Trojan Der- bies at the basketball tournament.

All things change. This included the status or position of high school students; the change can be great or small, according to the individual. Many will continue to be students but on the higher level of college or advanced vocational schools; others will begin working full time in the labor force 01 as housewives. As is true in most schools the major- ity of seniors choose to further their education. The career opportunities are unlimited; they can range from doctor and lawyer to mechanic and secretary. The future for these 1962 graduates looks both amazingly unlimited and doubtfully discouraging. They shall soon possess the power and knowledge to make a still better life for themselves or to com- pletely destroy all forms of life as we know it on this earth. They were given a good background of morals, education, and values; the foreground is filled with decisions to be made based on that back- ground. Was it strong enough? Let us hope so. The future holds at least one secret surprise for each person, and we must live life fully to discover ours. As every class before, these have been traditional symbols of grad- uation, but to each senior they hold a special significance as the stepping stones into the future. Pictured on opposite page — Selected as Outstanding Seniors, these college-bound students excelled in citizenship, scholarship, atti- tude, activities, and service to the school. Dramatizing the life, spirit, and the knowledge of their high school years, and also their climb to the apex of success in the future, are Carol McDonald, Corinna Kaarlela, Sue Bassett, Leslie Jones, Margie Parker, Sue Ripley, Judi Brannen, Donelle Bokich, Dennis Fandrei, Dan Klet- zing, Sandy Kinney, Harry Slamkowski, Maryanne Lomberger, Linda Lane.

Valedictorian Maryanne Lomberger converses with Phyllis Karr, Salutatorian, as they gaze at the trophy which will soon bare their names. A busy and rewarding five years have been spent at Highland High School by these deserving Sen- iors. While studying hard and serving the school their accomplishments were many and varied. Each displayed different talents; each was rewarded by different honorary experiences. Six members of the Class of ’62 yere sent as delegates to Hoosier Girls’ and Boys’ State. There they experienced our Indiana government in action on a small scale. Their deeper understanding and appreciation of our Democratic way of life will remain with them always. As a whole the class worked together to complete Homecoming festivities, and to make their long anticipated Senior parties become a reality. For their Christmas celebration, they had an informal party at school highlighted by a combo. Later in the year, everyone turned out for the roller skating party which proved that you need not be an athlete to win races. These seniors proved the saying, you get out of high school what you put into it. Displaying pamphlets of her trip to New York and Washington D. C., Maryanne Lomberger, winner of the D. A. R. Good Citizen award, points out one of the historical monuments she visited to Sue Ripley, who received a letter of recommendation for her ex- cellent performance on the National Merit Scholarship Test. ■H Reached Summit Wi th sincere wishes and fond hopes for the new year the Senior Class decorated the halls to spread best wishes among the under- classmen and faculty. Top — Argyles’ll Sock ' Em, the Senior’s last Homecoming float, hope- fully awaits the return of its wild and willing creators. With Roger Hickman’s faithful Ford hooked up and rearing to go, all was ready. Second — Get ready, get set, go! Senior girls line up during their roller skating party as they prepare for a stimulating race. Third — If I could make an X I’d vote for Joe Smothers for President. Bottom — Casual clothes and a casual atmosphere were the setting for the Senior Class Christmas party, as the seniors joined in on the latest fad by dancing the limbo.

Representing the backbone of the 1962 SHIELD are, Frances Pavnica, Judy Austgen, Leslie Jones, Carol McDonald, Judi Brannen, Jo Ann Bacon, Roxanne Vaughn, Mary Ann Ulrich, Nancy Jones, Marilyn Falk, Judy Dust and Pat McShane. These are a few of the people who have given much time and effort in pro ducing the 1962 SHIELD. They include writers, photographers, typists and business people. It takes many varied talents to compose a yearbook and the many hours of tedious labor. This group represents the backbone of the yearbook staff. They worked long after regular hours, eating cold sandwiches and sleeping only a few hours, even coming in on holidays to help meet deadlines. We all owe them a debt of thanks and want to say, well done! THE 1962 SHIELD STAFF Patty Peterson . , Mary Ann Ulrich J o Ann Bacon . . Judi Brannen . . Reid Carlson . . Judy Austgen . .

Each year the yearbook staff faces the monumental task of trying to equal or surpass the book that preceded it. Each editor works with hope that he can produce the masterpiece that will be a criterion for all yearbook editors. But if we have succeeded in including something of value for each one of you, something you will treasure in years to come, then we have accomplished our purpose. We on the staff will never forget the long hours of work and toil involved, and as the deadline approached, many worked till the wee hours of morning and had to forego many pleasures. But we have learned much and received great satisfaction from it, and I know I speak for all when I say, it was worth it! Finally, I would like to thank all the many wonderful people who have made this book possible, and those who have given me the opportunity to edit it. Editor-in-Chief
