Parking nonchalantly in the visitors only spot, this Apache gets her final instructions from Mr. Tatum. “Start the car.” “Stop the film.” “Stop the car.” “Start the film.” This year Apaches everywhere were responding to orders as they worked as pro¬ jectionists or tried to learn the correct procedure for turning left (three right hand turns will equal one left turn and be immeasurably easier). The pro¬ jectionists were called upon to start and to stop films on subjects ranging from the English para¬ graph to the properties of light and color. This saved teachers from the horrid possibility of starting the film and then having the projector blow up or hav¬ ing the film decide to fall into a million pieces. Stu¬ dent drivers scared the population of Wabash out of their wits—or at least out of their cars—as t hey drove by in the special car equipped with warning sign and more importantly dual controls. Thus this year Apaches proved themselves the masters of the machine.

LIBRARIANS—Susan Craig, Sharon Ranstead, Judie Little, Kay Finfrock, Diane Coble, Linda Herell, Edith Green, Miss Dove, and Sandy Renbarger. WORJO, a AK, R£AD Take attendance, write an outline, check out books, deliver a speech, type up health cards. Apaches went out of their way this year to acquire better speaking habits (really a necessity since Apaches talk all the time) and to make themselves better un¬ derstood. Apaches helped in the library, in the deans’ office, and even in the principal’s office in order to help WHS’s teachers. Librarians and office help learned much that they could not have learned in class—responsibility, knowledge of service. Speech students also learned much—stage fright, nerves, and finally poise. OFFICE AIDS—(Front Row) Sue Shalley, Linda Myers, Nancy Durnbaugh. (Second Row) Nancy Brady, Tony Wright, Donna Wolf. (Third Row) Mrs. Shaver, Mr. Martin, Mrs. Deckard, Pat Bennett. “On one hand you have this, and on the other hand you have that.” And in the middle you have an Apache deliver¬ ing a speech.

This Apache’s shoes look rather lonely as they wait pa¬ tiently under the trampoline for someone to fill them, and it looks as though the loyal Apache is intending to dive BR WEALTHIER,, Apaches were guided in the direction of good health with “great vigah” this year. They were subjected to push-ups, sit-ups, races, baseball, volleyball, bad¬ minton, and other forms of violent physical exercise. In health class they learned why they went through such rigorous drills and what effect these drills had upon the systems of the body. Guidance provided Apaches with some idea of the opportunities avail¬ able to them after graduation from WHS. They also right down to them. This makes the shoes happy and the student’s stomach sad. BB HAPPIER learned the fundamentals of living with each other. Guidance, health, and gym worked together to make Apaches healthier and happier. Health class also showed them what might go wrong with their inner mechanics, gym helped Apaches maintain and strengthen themselves, and guidance pointed out to them what they could do in the cold, cruel world when they no longer had to follow the whims of their teachers. 30
