Sycamore Staff Plans the Fiftieth Yearbook Armed with pictures, typewriters, copy sheets, and turtles the Sycamore Staff began another year. Co¬ editors Jackie Schlemmer and Nancy Brady planned the book; while Sharyl Miller, business manager, and her assistant Marilyn Miller raised money to back the proj¬ ect. Mrs. Vandegrift served as chief supervisor and argument stopper. It was a year of hard work, but finally the last copy shipment was sent to the printers. Staff members then sat back and waited for the fruit of their labors to return—the 1964 Sycamore. Co-editors Jackie Schlemmer and Nancy Brady planned the yearbook under the able management of Mrs. Vandegrift, adviser.

NHS Membership Reaches 34 One of the greatest honors any student can receive at Wabash High School is acceptance by the National Honor Society. To become a member a student must be outstanding in leadership, scholarship, character, and service. If he is a junior, he must have a 3.5 grade average; and if he is a senior, he must have a 3.0 grade average. Nine senior girls were inducted in the fall of 1963, and sixteen juniors became members this spring. Under the leadership of June Ragoske as presi¬ dent, Jim Zolman as vice president, Sue Eltzroth as secretary, and Jackie Schlemmer as treasurer, the society continued to be representative of the ultimate goal of every student.

Roll Those Presses! Co-editors Larry Bucher and Suzanne O’Conner confer with Mrs. Squires about an important story for the paper. ORANGE AND BLACK Staff: Kay Finfrock, Stella Scheerer, Janet Cartwright, Margaret Wolf, Cheryl Vrooman, Sylvia Pressler, Linda Dorais, Kay Fishback, Tammy Lutz, Suzanne Journalism students displayed their talents every two weeks in the form of the Orange and Black. Under the watchful direction of Mrs. Squires, the staff pub¬ lished our school paper. They included editorials, stu¬ dent and faculty news, sports, exchange news from other schools, and stories of the events of the school year. Although the paper was usually four pages in length, they published special papers six pages long at different times. The class publishes the paper not only for the en¬ joyment of the students, but also to learn the basic fundamentals of newspaper publication. Co-editor Larry Bucher attended the High School Journalism Institute to help him better understand his duties. The Orange and Black staff worked hard, kept the presses rolling, and had a successful year in the news¬ paper field. O’Conner, Mary Ann Kafoure, Reid Sprague, Ron Walters, Sam Rohr, Larry Bucher, Linda Turner, Linda Mitchell, Vicki Fuller, and Mrs. Squires. 25
