They elected a semester course in the English areas as a sub- stitute for one semester of regular English. Courses offered included: Creative Writing, Theatre Arts, Literature and the Contemporary World, Discussion, and Debate, Business and Industry, and Basic Communications. Atpublication time plans were being made to expand the pro- gram to include all eighth and ninth grades students. One hundred fifty eighth and ninth grades participated in the program. Some of the braver ones are shown below. They took part in a program which displayed a willingness on the school ' s part to allow students to make theirownchoices about school. We salute them. Whiteman Junior High School Goshen, Indiana 1972 Theme If you do not raise your eyes, you will think that you are the highest point. 9 Antonio Porchia WHITE MAN FACULTY AND STAFF A teacher is many things. Heis a device which teaches and explains. Hegivestests, figures grades every six weeks or sooner, and worries about each and every one of his kids . A teacher is seen as an ogre, a sadistic monster, and easy grader, a Gestapo henchman; and he doesn ' t like the images anymore thanthose he sometimes gives to his kids . Ateacher is a person who guides, instructs, advises, com- mands, listens to students. He wants to help them, and he wants to understand the problems of each of his kids . Ateacher isa subjectof ridicule, praise, mockery, love, hate indifference - the works. But for every teacher who ever walked into a classroom, there is but one reward worth living and teaching for. And that is a word of thanks and appreciation from one of his kids. Mrs. Marilyn Butler, Secretary. The office is the center of all school functioning. If your book is lost, go to the office. If your mother left your lunch money that you forgot, go to the office. If you were absent, you need an admit slip. Go to the office. Do you need change? Go to the office. Did the telephone break again? Go to the office. And did you throw a spitball at the teacher? You guessed it. Go to the office ! When you go to the office, try smiling. The two ladies shown here will be ready to help you, but remember The smile you send out comes back to you. • Front Office Busy With Daily Activity The office is also the center for the teach- ers. Come to the school any morning and walk in the office and you will see Whiteman ' s teach- ers preparing handouts, tests, quizzes. At noon and after school they ' ll be getting their mail or perphaps sending messages about meetings. Mrs. Kehr is the person who the teachers go to for help when they need it in any secretarial needs. Mrs. Kehr types class material, dittoes handouts, orders materials. Without Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Kehr, students, teachers, and the administration would be lost. Not only that, but the school would be pretty dull. Mrs. Marilyn Kehr, Auxiliary Aide. Administration At Whiteman Makes Decisions, Handles Problems You may never agree with them. They could be dead and forgotten for all you care, you sometimes think. They do more harm than good and they pro- bably are wife beaters, you imagine. Yet how will- ingly would you assume the responsibility that they do each day? Mr. Sample, principal of Whiteman, feels the weight of his job every day. Now a member of the North Central Association, Whiteman has certain standards to uphold. The teacher evaluation pro- gram puts much strain on his time and scheduling. Each Spring Mr. Sample must go through the task of making out five hundred student schedules. He also must coordinate these to teacher schedules. Being the principal is a big job. Besides his duties as the Assistant Principal, Mr. Michel must put up with everyone mis- pronouncing his name. As a teacher and spon- sor of student government, Mr. Michel finds the many hours in the day become all too few. Mike has also spent much time with the athletic department in his capacity of White- man ' s Athletic Director. That ' s quite a few jobs for any man. Guidance And Health Services At WJHS r. Guidance Director, Herb Amstutz, has got- ten some additional help this year in the work of Mrs. Mary Blough. Mrs. Blough works in the office in the afternoons typing notes and other work for Mr. Amstutz, giving him more time to work with counselees and do fellow up work on teacher references. His office is now „■ located in room 31, opposite the home-ec. rooms. In addition to his duties as Whiteman ' s bus- iness teacher, Mr. Howard King, serves as the assistant guidance counselor. Mr. King is in his second year in both these capacities. Counseling with eighth and ninth grade stu- dents takes many hours, but Mr. King can us- ually be found with a free moment on his hands in the guidance office behind the principal ' s office. Serving in her many duties as school nurse, Medicorps sponsor and Goshen Community Schools Health Services Director, Mrs. Dorothy McFarland leads a very busy schedule. Seeing her during the day may require some work be- cause of this full work load. Make sure you go to the office first; they can help you find her. New director, Mrs. Morse, poses with her staff. WJHS Cafeteria And Janitorial Staff Because we need to eat and because we are basically very sloppy, we need a com- petent cafeteria and janitorial staff at Whiteman. Our school is blessed with a fine staff in both areas. The cafeteria menus have taken a steady turn for the better since last year. And the school looks and smells cleaner than ever.

' STUDENT PICTURES About the only truly essential ingre- dient in the school is the kids.

Therr dances and three skating parties highlighted the social life of the junior high students. In the middle of February the dance season was given a boost with an extra special event - Whiteman ' s first Sweetheart Dance - where a queen and her court were selected by popular vote. The Talent Show this year, under Mrs. Wiggins control, outdid itselfwith a superb, sparkling hour of entertainment. A variety hour of music, dancing, and comedy was high- lighted by a spoof on our teachers and their 1950 ' s dancing styles. Again there was the cap to the school year, the annual Whiteman Field Day; but its existence seemed threatened by the condition of the new field which was being removed. It was a great year for special events. Like Romeo and Juliet There Will A Iways Be . . . , . Wynn and Bob . . .

Whiteman has a high ratio of bus students, a fact which hurts the number of offerings which are made to the students in the way of organizations. Yet there are many organizations which have become a tradi- tion at our school. The newspaper staff and the yearbook staff keep the students at Whiteman informed of school happen- ings, both past, present. The Girl ' s Athletic Association is active still. It provides a source of physical activity for girls. Intra- murals does the same for the boys. The library club, Medicorps, rocket club, Latin club, and others provide special interest area organ- izations for the different likes of each WJHS student. |GK3| IRST ROW (on floor): C. Lamb, H.

Library Club Grows At WJHS The Whiteman Library Club has enjoyed a rapid growth in the past few years. Mrs. Cotton, Librarian, is the clubs sponsor. The officers are Joe Springer, Pres- ident; Renee Troyer, Vice-President; Jackey Stack, Secretary Treasurer; and Sue Rudy, Reporter. This year ' s fund raising project was sponsoring the Sweet- heart Dance in February. Profits are used for new books in the Whiteman Library. Medicorps And Rocket Club Also Active At WJHS Medicorps and the Rocket Club have also been active this year at Whiteman. Due to circumstances beyond our control pictures were not available for these clubs. Mrs. McFarland is the sponsor of Medicorps and Mr. Tichenor is the spon- sor for the Rocket Club. 33 Jigsaw ' s Staff Falls Apart Every M W And F The Staff members are: A. Ainlay, D. She- phard, L. Alibek, S. Fisher, D. Brown, B. Miller and P. Beachy hiding, S. Ruby, and L. Hertzler. The Jigsaw , a supposedly bi-weekly newspaper, is Whiteman ' s answer to the New York Times. Sue Rudy, as editor, is actually a reincarnated Horace Greeley. Debby Shephard ' s lovely artwork enhances each issue of the Jigsaw ' The Newspaper staff is a motley crew containing everything from a gypsy queen to a professional lazy bum. For a picture of the lazy bum doing what he does best turn to page 53. 34 Lola Alibek and Susan Fisher discuss an article for the next Jigsaw Best Ever (?) Yearbook Produced By This Team Of Smiling Talent Our glorious yearbook staff is: FRONT ROW; Phil Beachy, Sharon Ram- seyer and Dan Keim. BACK ROW Renee Troyer, Joe Springer and Beth Ramseyer. Randy Cunningham was our photographer. Anything we could think to say about the yearbook would better be left unsaid but we had to fill this space. The staff actually made the deadline this year working only a few hours extra after school and on Sunday. As was stated beneath the pictures, Mr. Cartwright was our sponsor and Randy Cunningham was the pho- tographer. Joe Springer was editor-in-chief. Our star worker, Sharon Ramseyer, is typing the names for student pictures. The fearless leader of both yearbook and newspaper staffs, Mr. Cartwright, appeared from under his rock on sunny days. 35 Kevin, Bob, and John play. Dave gets his fondest wish. Latin Club Still Active At WJHS The Latin Club remains as one of the most active clubs in existence at Whiteman year after year. Among the many activities it plans each year is the traditional Roman wedding ceremony. From the looks of things, Rome is get- ting a little more swinging. Nero must be back.

GAA, Intramurals In Full Swing The Whiteman Junior High School e- dition of Girl ' s Athletic Association has been one of the most active organizations in the school over the years. Under the sponsorship of Miss Stansbury , eighth and ninth grade girls take part in all types of physical activity after school. The pro- gram is run during the winter months on Wednesday evenings. Whiteman moved into its second full year of intra-mural activity with Mr. Tichenor at the helm. Operating under the handicap of having to meet on Friday nights after school, the intramural pro- gram was still active and successful. The intramural program is open to all eligible seventh, eighth, and ninth graders. 1ST ROW: T. Striekus, V. Stilley, P. Beachy, G. Rogers, M. Bryant, D. Wagner, T. Grog, Mr. Tichenor. 2ND ROW: R.

The glory was mostly provided by the seven- th and eighth graders, but the freshmen were not to be shown up. They had a few surprises themselves. A few breaks in basketball and we would have had two conference champions to celebrate. We now look forward to some of Whiteman ' s greatest years in athletic competition. But for now let us look back on those teams and coaches which have given us reason to be hopeful and even anxious. 40 1ST ROW: P. Hendricks, R. Grinstead, G. Rogers, R. Norton, W. Schwalm, T.

Kindy A Few Highlights In Frosh Season It was the second year for the ninth grade football as headed by Coach Jim Stack. Some improvements were seen along the way, especially in the entrance into the win column. Whiteman ' s 20-0 win over Northridge seemed to be the catalyst, but a tough Pierre almost pulled it out with one of their best efforts.

Oddly enough this record was good enough to give the Redskins a second place finish in the Big Eleven Confer- ence. Despite the lack of a great many victories, the season was helpful in giving the program a shot in the arm. For once Whiteman was not acting the part of a doormat. Mr. Kouts was even heard to say, I ' m glad I was part of bring- ing back the tradition of tying to Whiteman. 42 1ST ROW: T. Lower Mgr. , D. Crowe, T. Yoder, R. Charles, M. Scearse, B.
