Yearbooks like antiques become more valu- able through age, Be good to this book, and throughout the years you will refer to it many times, You will learn to rely upon the LAUREL which will become increasingly more important to you as written memories of your life in Laurel Valley High School, Congratulations to the seniors of 1960, Hold your heads high and carry on the good name of this educational institute.

Some are planning to attend college while others are learning the techniques required inthe busi- ness world or preparing for the task of home- making, Another event highlighting the year was their assembly program on December 9, 1959. The class advisers arranged for Mr, Pahach to have his basketball teams play an inter-school game while he interpreted the rules to the student body. This was a very worthwhile program, On May 27, came the last big event of the year, the annual school 9 picnic at Idlewild. CLASS OFFICERS President ............

Gibson, The Freshman Class is divided into academic and general sections. This division determines the paths they will take in their future education and careers. The academic students are starting the long climb to trigonometry by studying algebra,a new and somewhat confusing subject,Nevertheless, they are making a gallant attempt to pass. Another new subject is general science, which points out many new facts about the world and all its plants and animals. Besides the new courses the freshmen still have other subjects to contend with--English, history, music, art, guidance, home ec. for the girls and shop for the boys. Although these underclassmen have a full schedule, a number of them 'Z' make the honor and high honor rolls. Also, many are active in the nu- merous extracurricular activities. The boys do their best to win every junior high basketball game. Then the girls and some ofthe more talented boys belong to the Senior Chorus. Since they belong to the chorus, they can now attend Bac- calaureate and Commencement. Although the freshmen have ex- perienced new and different subjects and activities this year, they look forward to being sophomores next year. STANDING: K. Garland, J. Gibson, W.

Once inside their classrooms, many of these youngsters look bewildered and confused. They were strangers in a new school. However, it was not long until they became acquainted with the routine, the teachers, and the other students in the building. Several months later, after they had elected class officers, the seventh graders were an important part of Laurel Valley, No longer did others have to give directions to classrooms. If the upperclassmen were trampled while walking through the halls, this action may have been caused by the seventh graders rushing to their next classes. At ltuich time these energetic youngsters participated in intramurals, and those who did not play cheered from the bleachers, Clubs, home ec., shop, and band supple- mented their academic schedule. Ambition and interest highlighted their classes as these students were kept busy working on a variety of projects. An outstanding program at Laurel Valley was the seventh grade assembly. To see these youngsters give such excellent performances made hearts jump with joy and eyes pop wide in amazement. Another interesting sight appears at the end of the day. The last bell has rung and a mad rush has started to the home rooms. The first students to get their coats, hats, and books and be first in line for the busses are the seventh graders--they are no longer beginners! C L.-XSS OFFIC ERS President ..............

LAUREL STAFF shared the work of planning ,Q 4' 3 ' a Y fa?!'1i?.:- ff B. McDermott, K. Baird, M, J, Kastner, H. Muir. Realizing that every student at Laurel Valley was looking forward to the 1960 LAUREL, the staff worked patiently and earnestly towards its completion. They knew that to every individual this annual was a symbol and a reference of the past year at L,V, With March first as their deadline, the staff, under the supervision of Mrs. Chisnell, worked in activity periods and after school to finish their task. The first job set before them was the scheduling of pictures. These had to be planned and arranged first in the dummy notebook and then on the copy sheets. Topics for each picture and grade were assigned to various students and afterwards these articles were proofread, typed and finally mailed for publication. A few other jobs were selecting representative to collect LAUREL payments and also obtaining the necessary funds. Because of its valuable contents, the yearbook has become a precious treasure to each senior. As he opens this treasure, he can capture every moment of happiness and sadness, each exciting football and basketball game, memories of classroom life, and also the friendship shared by each fellow student. With the help of a pen, a pencil, a camera, a typewriter, and a little imagination, the 1960 LAUREL was finally produced, Katie Baird was chosen as editorg Helen Muir, layout editorg Bonnie McDermott, feature editorg and Mary Jane Kastner, business manager, The Commercial Department supervised and also did the typing. Other seniors participated by writing copy and soliciting for advertisements, Roger Shank played his part by assisting the photographer with his equipment-camera, film, flashbulbs, and occasionally a step- ladder. On September 13 and 14, fifteen senior students were on their way to solicit advertisements. From the nearby communities, these people collected over 3900 to support the LAUREL. After many long days, much hard work, and a great deal of patience, the 1960 LAUREL came forth. The staff hopes all students and teachers will enjoy reminiscing through these pages representing the term 1959-60, pictures and copy and balancing the budget The LAUREL solicitors sold acl- yertising to finance the publishing cost of the yearbook. The typists spent countless hours pounding out the copy. The home room representatives faithfully collected the monthly pay- ments from the purchasers.

These names were voted on by the entire student body who elected the following officers: President, Robert Broun: Vice-President, Larry Henderson: Secretary, Stephen Bodinskv: and Treasurer, Joseph Parsha. Under the direction of the president, the Student Council sold school emblems and held a record hop to raise money to pay their expenses, The profit from these projects was used for the llonor llanquet, which is part of the Laurel Valley plan to promote better scholastic performance in our school. Guests at the banquet are the students with high scholastic grades. The responsibility of approving, posting, and removing all posters and notices in the halls or on bulletin boards was another responsibility of the Student Council. David Bowman was elected chairman of the material committee. All representatives helped in trimming the Christmas tree placed between the front stairxxays. The decorations were received, placed on the tree for Christmas week, and removed before vacation, Another tremendous job the Student Council undertook was the writing of their Constitution. This requires a great deal of time and effort on the part of all the couneil's members. llowever, all felt that the Constitution was a necessity if the Council was to operate smoothly and efficiently during the year.

At the first club meeting, the mem- bers gave ideas for programs for the year. These suggestions were to make projects from clay,to become familiar with the tech- niques of oil painting, and to learn to sketch. A film on The History of Art and Mo- dern Arts, obtained from Indiana State College, will be shown sometime during the year. The members also vol- unteered their serviees in ma- ' king posters to advertise school activities. President . . . NaneyRobson Vice-President . Jack Beal Secretary . . . Carol Beal Treasurer . .

CHESS CLUB concentrated on their next move Chess is one of the oldest games in the world. Perhaps some earlier pas- times are more enjoyable, but chess has long had its enthusiasts. Many people, however, dislike c h e s s. They regard it as a game for the bright scholar, the learned student and the pa- tient intellectual. T h e s e words almost describe the members of our club. But no one is excluded from learning because it is too hard. Many club members have discovered that the basic fundamentals are easily learned, and that they can match their skill in tournaments. The presi- dent is David Bowman, and the sponsor is M r. Crawford, This group met the second andfourth Thursdays of every month. One of their projects was dissecting a frog. Thomas Brown served as president and Miss Salerno was the sponsor. ROW ONE: Mr. Crawford, R, Colson, D, Deyarmin, H. Custer, L, Henderson, S Dubxcs J. Cook, W, Clawson. ROW TWO: R. Callihan, D.

Everything from folk tunes to semi- classical numbers is sung by this club. Meeting twice a month is a group of ap- proximately twenty-five girls, ranging from seventh to twelfth grades. They fulfill their appreciation for music by singing the songs of their choice. The club is sponsored by Mr, Hall who acts as accompanist as well as director and does an excellent job. At each meeting dues of 109 from every member are collected by the treasurer. This money will be used to finance any project which should arise during this school term, All in all they have a great time whether they're in tune or out of tune. Singing is very inexpensive yet enjoyable, The members have benefited from these sessions. President ..... . . Iynette Kinzey Vice-President . . Sandra Yeager Secretary . . . .

Q The Knitting and Crocheting Club, sponsored by Mrs. Gamble, consists of girls from seventh grade through e- leventh who are interested in becoming more skilled in handiwork, They are in the process of Crocheting potholders and hope to be knitting and Crocheting more intricate items as the year progresses. Each club period they learn a few more stitches--double crochet, chain, etc.-- until at last they are able to complete their project successfully. They hope to attain skill in the handling of hook and yarn so their work will be loose enough to look attractive and smooth, This can only be accomplished by much practice and experience. Since the girls cannot find enough time in school, they try to advance their work at home once they have mastered the instructions given at school. With constant work plus diligence, they hope to become fine knitters and crochetersu in the future. 63 DRAMA CLUB developed talents ot its members ima HSA ROW ONE Wir Galbreath K Lynch D McDermott H Bowman B Degano D McCauley A St Clair ROW TWO D Foust C Ew't P Kellx J Werder C Rensko M Schweppe R Jarvis ROW THREE J Stormer N Bobko J Toth D Winebrenner M J Bennett R Greacher E Lepsch F H A developed better home Izle The Drama Club, spon sored by Mr Galbreath meets 1n Room 16 every two weeks The club IS planning to put on an assembly program some time during the year There will also be talent acts pre sented by some of the mem bers One week the club had a make up show Two girls were picked and were made up to be hippy md sad It took the club sometime to succeed in this endeavor However, the results were very gratifying and the group was proud of this accomplishment Preslclent Patricia Kelly Vice President Elaine Lepsch Secretary Treasurer Diana Winebrenner Sponsor Mr Galbreath ROW ONE Mrs Harris F Fletcher B Short V Toth J Pangburn B Buckles N Mulligan L St Clair ROW TWO F Cummings D Shellhammer I Greacher B Glacken D Custer H H111 M Yeager A Hutchko The Future Homemakers of America la ..

In the past hunting and fishing accidents have caused many deaths, Both groups should know the rules of safety and how to practice them. The purpose of the Hunting and Fishing Club is to show its members by film the different accidents that can occur and the ways to prevent these. The club also teaches its members to be good, safe sportsmen. They also provide for them a chance to compete with one another. One Sunday the club sponsored a Skeet shoot. The turnout was good, the boys en- joyed themselves and had fun trying to beat the other fellows in hitting the birds. The club is also thinking of joining the National Rifleman's Association. Seeing the need for food for game, the Hunting and Fishing Clubis putting out feeders for game around our area. The club has also had the privilege of hearing Mr. Jones, an expert on guns and ammunition, speak to them about the safety of handling firearms and the history of his fabulous collection. For the fishermen in the club, Mr. Gorirossi and Mr. Pesci are going to discuss lures, tie flies, etc. President ........ Joseph Buceeri Vice-President . .... David Gamble Sec.-Treasurer ....

OFFICIALS CLUB mastered rules for many sports The purpose of this club is to teach the members the rules andthe regulations followed by the officials of football, basketball, and baseball, With the guidance of Mr, Howard, the girls will officiate a few basketballgames. At the first meeting, officers were elected and plans were made to study the. rules of various sports, Since football is the first sport of the season, the group decided to learn how the game is called. After some knowledge of the game was known, the girls found football to be a more interesting subject, Basketball followed as the winter sport. Most students knew the game, but they couldn't tell why certain procedures were called, This was their goal. Throughout the next few club meetings, they studied and finally mastered the steps in basketball, The last sport to be considered is base- ball. Soon everyone will be talking about the teams we will be playing, who will be playing what position, and also what plays will win a game, The group, too, wanted to talk shop. So down to brass tacks we will go and learn another sport. President ............. Katie Baird Vice-President ,,,,,..., Judy Miller Secretary-Treasurer . . . . . . . . . . .

Members also planned what they would like to do during their club periods. As a result of this discussion, the girls made a tour of the Community Medical Center on January 14, 1960. They are looking forward to other field trips to be made during the remaining school term, Enjoy yourselves, girls, and work hard.

The purpose ofthe Science Club is to give to the students something that they ordinarily might not find in their regular- ly scheduled science classes. People say that to be truly educated today one must know something of science, but they fail to mention what that something is. The Science Club tries to add to that something, During the course of the year, discuss- ions were held on different topics pertaining to our mo- dern age and the science in- volved in making the earth even more advanced in the future.

If one were to walk into the room, he would honestly believe that he had transcended through time and space into the land of the great Spanish Dons. The explicit purpose of the club was to implant in simple young minds an understanding of the language and customs of the Spanish- speaklng people- Discussions varied greatly from the correct spelling of the words to ways of dress and types of government. Just before Christmas these noble Spaniards had quite aparty. A pinatawas made, filled with candy, and broken. As the sweets fell to the floor,pandemonium broke out.

Teen Talks promote conditions which are necessary for right living. Group discussion brings about the necessary straight thinking which is a part of a student's education and living, The talks develop that nec- essary strong character to make the worthy citizens of our society. Also the girls collected commem- orative postage stamps which were sent to their South West District leader, These stamps will be used to provide money for young people from foreign countries to visit America as good will diplomats.

Under the direc- tion of Mr, Pudliner and Mr, Sutter, their sponsors, the students discussed the referee's rules and signals, fouling, appropriate equipment, and the different techniques used on both offensive and defensive sides, The Official's Club and the All-Sports Club have combined in their discussion of the sport of bas- ketball. Some of the boys from the Sports Club played against each other in a short game of basketball, while a couple of girls from the Officials' Club were given a chance to referee a real game.

Our journeys have taken us from the fishing nets high on the Bay of Fundy to the tall timbers in British Columbia. We have visited the famous shrines of the French Canadians and harvested wheat in the fields of Manitoba. Gold panning in the Cariboo region and stock raising on the plains of Alberta were fascinating sights. Viewing Canada from sea to sea and from the Great Lakes to the Artie Ocean has been an interesting experience that has captivated the ima- gination ofthe members ofthe Laurel Valley Travel Club.

Any boy who has earned one or more letters in any sport is eligible to join, The Varsity Club's main objective is to raise money to purchase jackets for the senior athletes. This is done by selling candy at lunch times, at home basketball games, and by holding dances after all home games.

He has the laborious task of preparing the building for the everyday activities as well as the special events which occur throughout the year. Proms are his specialty. No matter what the hour of any day or a cold night may be, one can always find Frank in some part of the building. He keeps an accurate tab on firing the boilers, caring for the grounds, and cleaning and repairing everything from seats to sinks. Frank is always ready to lend a helping hand to any student or faculty member who is in difficulty. The LAUREL staff is very appreciative of his efforts in pre- paring their office. Mr. Gibson has faithfully served our school for twenty- one years. Because of retirement laws, this will probably be Frank's final year with Laurel Valley. When we lose Frank, we are losing not only a wonderful custodian, but also a skilled electrician, plumber, decorator, carpenter, painter, and friend. Our gratitude to Mr. Gibson cannot be truly expressed in mere words. But each one of us will always recall some fond memory of Frank. This in itself is a great tribute to Mr. Gibson.

The coaches were always on hand when they were needed whether it was during a game, a practice session, or a pep rally.

It is up to the man- agers to prepare the field for the home games and to have all in readiness for the visiting team. The managers also aid in keeping the spirit of the team at a high level. They are definitely a vital part of the team. The senior manager of the 1959 season was Roger Goodlin.

Mr. Sutter has laid a strong foundation for the development of future Ram Varsity stars by instructing his players with the basic fundamentals of football which are necessary to produce winning teams and instilling in them the spirit of com- petitiveness and the virtues of fair play. Mr. Sutter is always willing to be of assistance to any of his players in need of aid. BASKETBALL CAGERS proved strong --..--- LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Dohoda, Mr. Pahach, Mr. Sutter. Mr. Andrew Pahach, head coach for the eighth year, with his assistants, Mr. Dohoda and Mr. Sutter, guided the Rams in their basketball efforts for the 1959-60 season. Mr. Pahach was not troubled by inexperienced players, since there were seven seniors returning from last year. Strangely enough, height was no problem either since the starting team averaged over six feet. Mr. Pahach still had the gigantic problem of organizing the team into a winning combination. Through hard work and co-operation, the Rams en- joyed a successful season and provided the spectators with many a thrilling moment. Mr. Sutter took over the coaching of the junior varsity this year. Mr. Dohoda was in charge of the up-coming junior high cagers. Under the supervision of these two assistant coaches, the future stars of Laurel Valley's basketball team are born.

They have devoted their time and effort to the various tasks they preform for the coaches and team. Each evening after school they busy themselves with the following jobs: sweep- ing the gym floor, cleaning the balls, running errands, and administering treatments to the players' minor ailments. Also during games they issue and collect warm-up jackets, account for the balls, and some- times help keep score. Finally they give the team moral support. They cheer them on to victory and after the few defeats agree on the bum deal from the officials. The head manager this year was Tommy Brown. KNEELING: T. Brown, K, Stiffey, E.

In order to qualify as an honored guest at this banquet, a student must have been on the honor roll for three six-weeks periods prior to the banquet. Forty-six students qualified. It was hoped that the event would encourage more students to try for the honor roll. And a word of praise must be given to Robert Cummings who was selected as toastmaster for the occasion. Robert delighted both guests and friends with his command of the situation and the masterful way in which he presided and introduced the guests. JUNIOR HIGH HONOR SOCIETY-1959 ROW ONE: J.
