But with just a cursory glance at the front of our school, alumni would hardly guess the changes that have taken place. For example, in 1955 we added a new band room, cafeteria, typing room, and an Industrial Arts shop. With this new addition came less crowded and more modern conditions, giving the students access to facilities never before available at A. H. S. Besides this, our library was enlarged, the Guidance Department has finally come into its own. and advanced mathematics courses are being offered for the first time in the history of our school. To complement the picture, there are the new choir robes, sewing machines, star lights, typewriters, and- yes- new teachers, too; the list is endless. In our community we can boast of new roads, bridges, a swimming pool, and a hospital. These things, once dreams, are now realities. Thus, throughout the annual we have endeavored to depict the highlights of progress in community and school life. Perhaps you will agree, as we do, that progress has been our most important project. In the spring of 1958, a long awaited dream came true. Dearborn County residents, after years of community drives and fund raising projects, could boast of having one of the finest equipped hospitals in southeastern Indiana. Deactivation of the outmoded Milan Early in 1960, a new pumping Clinic brought about the ground breaking station was constructed on Trester for the Dearborn County Clinic. Hill to increase the capacity of the Aurora facilities. [ 4 ] FROM THE OLD TO THE NEW- Route 56 from Aurora to Rising Sun undergoes operation improvement. Onlookers watch as the derrick plays its part and PROGRESS MOVES ON! Our future generation will soon be using the facilities of this modemly equipped school. Construction will begin in the spring of 1961. [ 5 ] PROGRESS THROUGH [ 6 ] STUDIES TRIANGLES, TEST TUBES, AND TRAINING Advanced math students Nancy Olcott, Marjorie Watkins, John Ross, Faith Kemper, Jay Wright. Larry Morand. Melvin Barrott. Marvin Craig, Karen Baker, Joyce Miller, George Ester and Ted Baer. Karen Baker and Ted Baer represented us at the math contests. HAROLD STIER BEATRIZ KYLE Algebra Trigonometry General Math Solid Geometry Plane Geometry Commercial Math Advanced Algebra This was the year for progress through mathematics. The senior math students of '61 were privileged in that they were the first ones to use the college preparatory math books. Among the advanced courses taken this year were calculus, analytic geometry, probability and statistics. Advanced math students, Ted Baer, George Ester, and Jay Wright, hang star polyhedrons constructed by various members of the class. FOR FUTURE SCIENTISTS HAROLD RICE FRANK HALL EUGENE GABBARD Chemistry Biology Principal Physics Biology During the senior chemistry course, many hours are spent in the laboratory. The main purpose of this is to provide the students with actual experience in working chemistry. They follow in the footsteps of famous scientists as they perform such experiments as Lavosier's classic twelve-day” experiment. Although chemistry and physics are not required subjects like biology, every high school student should take them because of the importance of science in the days to come. As young scientists observe: Chuck” Rice explains and demonstrates the process of distillation. [ 9 ] DEVELOPING MECHANICAL SKILLS After taking letters dictated by Miss Bower, the future stenographers of the business world transcribe their notes into mailable form. Office practice was substituted the second semester to acclimate the girls with the business world. PHYLLIS BOWER Shorthand Typing For those who do not wish to go on to college, our school offers the commercial course. This course instructs them in typing, bookkeeping, shorthand and office practice. Journalism is closely linked with these courses as students will be able to put into practice their commercial abilities. LESTER KRUSE Bookkeeping Journalism Typing Neither sleet, snow nor rain shall stay these couriers of the journalism department from carrying out their duties. AND ARTISTIC ABILITIES Mr. Platt directs the band as it rehearses for the state contest. WILLIAM PLATT Band Chorus Band offers its 90 members a sense of rhythm and coordination, culture, appreciation of many types of music, and the ability to discuss music intelligently. Dur ing the year, the band supports both the basketball and football teams, marches in several parades, plays at pep sessions, and presents a concert in the spring. During the year, art students have studied many phases of art; color theory, perspective drawing, drawing from a model, composition, design arrangements and independent study were some of the more important. Lynn Swift, Bonnie Russell, Donna Belew, Karen Fry. and Mary Ross paint a mural portraying a Christmas scene. [ 11 ] PRACTICAL TRAINING Lyndall Callis, Carol Welch, Amelia Glass and Carolyn Cheek study charts on color schemes and types of furniture. During the first semester, senior home economics students studied interior decoration. Color schemes, types and arrangement of furniture, were some of the units of study. The second semester's course is devoted to the study of family living and college adjustments. LUCILLE SC’IAICH Home Economics MARGARET KLINGELHOFFER Home Economics [ 12 ] Diana Shepherdson, Carla Herzog and Lyndall Callis get a clearer insight into home planning as they enter Shepherdson's home recently completed. FOR THE FUTURE Bernard Tibbetts. John Bott and Lloyd Walston observe as Clayton Goodpaster demonstrates the proper procedure for electric welding. Welding is a project for both the shop boys and the ag students. Wood working, automotive mechanics and metals are other projects for the students of the Industrial Arts Department. Mr. Knigga instructs senior Ag boys in welding, a part of their fourth year Ag course. The agricultural students study scientific raising of live stock, soil and crop management and the business manage ment of the farm.

Why did so many students miss so many questions when they knew the answers had to be either appointed by the president with the consent of the senate or congress . HAROLD HICKMAN GARY LYON U. S. History World History Athletic Director Citizenship TIMES ALBERT PORTER Civics Guidance Because 1960 was an election year, the social studies department was especially interesting. We learned everyday politics by compiling election notebooks and conducting a mock election.

S. student is required to take three years of English. However, only about a third of the students in the class have availed themselves of the opportunity of taking the fourth year. Those who took Comp. Speech, and Literature for the fourth year find it very profitable. Theme writing was a major project for the Senior English class. Mrs. Smith attempts to motivate the thoughts of the class. [ 15 ] ALERT OF MIND Mrs. Simpson gives some of her Spanish II students her views on inside Latin America. Knowledge of a foreign language is an asset to everyone. Both Latin and Spanish are offered at A. H. S. in order that our students might have this advantage. Each of these subjects is offered on a two year basis. Two years of both are required for a foreign language major. ■ V 1 MARY V. SIMPSON Latin Spanish Coaching either on the football field or behind the wheel, Mr. Willen is an invaluable aid to the students. They will long remember his cool and easy man ner of instruction. Mr. Willen emerges from driver training car after an exasperating driving session. [ 16 ] QUICK OF BODY From the required health course, the students gain knowledge of the structure of the human body. Pictured above. Miss Miller points out the bones of the body on a chart, while members of the class find them on Molly, the skeleton in A. H. S. 's closet. During the first two years in his high school life each student is required to take physical education. Here we see a group of freshman and sophomore boys participating in a volley ball game, one of the many sports in which they develop physical skills. ROBERT KENNEDY Health Safety Physical Education THEY MAKE OUR SCHOOL POLICIES This has been a very busy year for the school board. Dr. Leslie M. Baker, Secretary; Mr. Charles Cheek, President; Mrs. Charlotte Olcott, Treasurer; Mr. Kenneth Pitts, Superintendent, as Aurora has undertaken the building of a new elementary school. Contacting architects, determining bond capacity of the community, and estimating number of rooms and facilities needed were among the tasks pursued by the board. Eugene F. Gabbard, Principal Kenneth E. Pitts. Superintendent We went to him when we were jg . We went to him when we were in in trouble. real trouble. AND FULFILL OUR NEEDS Need a pencil and a pack of paper, Leona,” these are all too familiar words to Miss Harves. head of our bookstore and secretary to Mr. Pins. A throng of hungry youngsters created a never ending job for our cooks, Nora Fillenwarth, Esther Mattox and Kate Hollmeyer. As secretary to Mr. Gabbard and Mr. Porter, Mrs. Fox spends many hours at her typewriter. Fire it up Irv This is only one of Mr. Fillenwarth's many duties during the year. Arch Jackson mops up after the cafeteria has just had a work out. [ 19 ] PROGRESS THROUGH [ 20 ] SCHOOL LIFE [ 21 ] WE PARTICIPATE IN Last year's juniors, Marjorie Watkins, Brenda Cook, Ann Baker, Faith Kemper, are busy making program booklets for our Junior Prom. Bob Craig. John Craig, and Fred Brandt return from the State Fair with second place honors in the dairy judging contest. Nancy Olcott, Patty Mize, Marjorie Watkins, and Faith Kemper were chosen by the American Legion Auxiliary on the basis of their essays on Why I Would Like to Attend Hoosier Girls' State. Full of vim and vigor are the Boy Staters; Larry Gabbard, Larry Morand, Jay Wright, and Melvin Barrett. They were chosen by the social studies department and the American Legion Post on their scholastic ability and citizenship. Larry Gabbard, president of the senior class, congratulates Sonya Schuler after she has been chosen by the student body as their choice to represent A. H. S. in the Farmer’s Fair queen contest. Sonya stands poised as she poses for the judges and audience. Marching and strutting as always, the A. H. S. band performs in the Aurora Farmer's Fair parade. Jim Powell, Nancy Shuter, Bill Cutter, and Kelly Clore, the junior class officers, make class ring selections. [ 23 ] PARENT-SPONSORED, A few satirical beatniks of the senior class observe Maynard Day by dressing to fit the occasion. Georgia Simonson, treasurer, Pat Jackson, vice-president, and Peggy McCardle, president of G. A. A. demonstrate one of the various activities of the organization. Spaghetti, screams, and hilarious On the day following the laughter make the night of the G. A. A. initiation, the pledged members initiation a night not to be forgotten. completed their requirements by dressing oddly and by wearing signs on their backs. [ 24 ] AND UNSPONSORED ACTIVITIES, George Ester, president of the student council, and Mr. Gabbard introduce the guests at our assembly programs. One of the paid assembly programs given in the gym was the Vikings, a Norwegian dance group. Sandy Ellinghausen and Linda Rector check off the names of students as they go through the line to pose for school pictures. [ 25 ] A dinner in honor of the coaches was planned by the members of the football team. Mrs. Kinnett, Mrs. Schaich, Mrs. Gabbard, Mrs. Cofield, and Mrs. Coggeshall prepared this dinner. THIS IS OUR WAY The smiling faces, the scattered place settings attest the fact that the hungry coaches, players, student managers and guests were well fed at the appreciation dinner given in honor of the coaches. Christmas came and so did decorations. Here Judy Armstrong and Caroline Mitchell add the finishing touches to the center pieces. Homes, present and future, are displayed by the industrial arts class. They have been built by members of the classes for their semester projects. Cold weather, ear muffs, song books, and the high-strung voices of the journalism class contribute to the Christmas season. [ 26 ] OF SCHOOL LIFE!” The A. H. S. choir making its first appearance Kennedy, who else???? dressed in the new robes, sings at the Christmas program. Please, just one minute of silence and solitude, says Carol Welch. Larry Morand and Melvin Barrott were the top-rankers on a test given to determine who should represent A. H. S. at the World Affairs Institute held annually in Cincinnati. [ 27 ] MOONLIGHT AND STARS To the music of Will Hauser's band, we danced under the stars from 9 to 12. This is the Heavenly view from Chaperon Cloud. We were happy to see the chaperons joining in the activities of the evening. V We had a variety of things to do. When we tired of dancing, we chatted with one another and captured by flash bulb a few highlights of our Heavenly evening. As we arrived at the school, not knowing what was in store for us, we were greeted by the Reception Committee, Mr. A1 Porter and Mrs. Joe Tufts. Before entering the gymnasium Carol Welch, Jerry Schmidt, Ann Fox and George Ester registered for the door prize and received their dance program. FILLED THE MORNING HOURS As starlight and music radiated through the gym, the aroma of delicious food to come penetrated the Heavenly” atmosphere. This delicious meal could not have been possible had it not been for the Post-Prom Food Committee. At the stroke of 12 our hunger pangs were satisfied. A delicious meal of ham, escal-loped potatoes, baked beans, salads, and relishes was served and climaxed with cherry pie. Our meal was served by volunteers from the sophomore class. After the meal, eyelids and streamers began to droop, but the couples danced on. Dixieland music trumpeted throughout the hours of the morning, off and on, from 1 to 4. This was arranged and presented to us by the Post-Prom Committee. Our Heavenly evening was climaxed by the crowning of Charlene Lockwood and John Reid as our regal couple. This honor was bestowed upon them by Carolyn Kramer and Larry Rumsey, last year’s royalty. Our queen was presented with two dozen long-stem roses. The boys of the court received cuff-links, and the girls gold round pins. Here we see Queen Charlene and King John with their court: Larry Gabbard, Ellen Keith, Bill McCarty. Carolyn York, George Ester, Lyndall Callis, Bill Kinnett, and Carol Welch. Mary Settles, Lynn Swift and Clara Simonson help prepare the tables for the coming evening. To complete the table decorations, stars, silvery moons, and tiny angels were added. Patsy Gilb, Shirley Morling, Wanda Roberts, Nancy Olcott, and Phyllis McGraw put the finishing touches on the scene of the forthcoming crowning. At 11:00 these girls realized the fruits of their labor as the king and queen were crowned in the mundane garden. Judy Lincoln, general chairman of the prom committee, sketches a picture of the Golden Gates which were at the entrance of the gymnasium. Judy, a senior this year, is now attending Highlands High School in Fort Thomas, Kentucky. PROGRESS THROUGH [ 32 ] THE YEARS [ 33 ] JUDY ANN ARMSTRONG Chorus 1, 4; G. A.

Lingering still in our memory is that morning in September of 1957 when we entered the halls of A. H. S., 135 strong. We chose Jay Wright, Don Ellinghausen, Shirley Morling, and Linda Rector as our class representatives. Throughout the year the boys participated in sports, while the girls showed their skill in G. A. A. In trying to master the fine arts, many joined the band and choir. Embarking on our sophomore year, we watched laughingly a,s the freshmen stumbled through the halls, lost and confused. This year our class of 135, chose Jay Wright, Larry Gabbard, Linda Rector, and Terry Walker as our class officers. As the year came to a close, we began to look forward to our years as upper classmen. One hundred and eighteen of us returned as juniors. Larry Gabbard, Jay Wright, Ellen Keith, and John Reid were chosen to lead us through this important year. On September 25 we ordered our long awaited class rings, and then in January we started planning our prom. With hard work from all, and money from concessions and the coke machine we had an enchanting evening. We were serenaded by Will Hauser's band until midnight; then, Charlene Lockwood and John Reid were crowned our Heavenly Couple. After a delicious meal we were entertained by a Dixie-Land band and an auctioneer until 4:00 a. m. We ended the year riding on cloud nine. Eight of our 103 classmates attended Boys’ and Girls' State during the summer. When they returned to school and to Mr. Porter's civics class they made a great show of their acquired governmental knowledge. At our last elections we chose Larry Gabbard, George Ester, Lyndall Callis, and Gene Cofield as our representatives. George was also chosen president of the Student Council. We were saddled with the responsibilities of taking college entrance tests, deciding on future occupations, editing a paper and annual, and yes—even a class play. (Busy, weren't we?) However, we finally realized that all the good times we had known were about over, and that we were entering a new threshold in life. We faced this, not with apprehension, but with expectancy and gratitude; for we realize what a privilege it is to live in this country of such great educational opportunities.

The girls of the Rising Sun chapter initiated approximately 95 girls into the Aurora chapter. This year the Sunshine Society was re-established under the leadership of Mrs. Kyle. The purpose of the organization is to serve the community. The first project was sending birthday cards to the aged in the Sunman and Greendale nursing homes, and the county farm. To help finance our projects, Charlene Lockwood headed the committee that planned the bake sale on November 17 at the Sparkle Cleaner. Sandra Ellinghausen, chairman, Judy Grinstead, and Sonya Schuler led the underclassmen on the project committee, who are planning an Easter outfit for some unfortunate girl. The officers of the Rising Sun chapter initiate and install the girls chosen to lead the Aurora chapter. Judy Armstrong (not shown) corresponding secretary; Carol Gabbard, recording secretary’; Linda Rector, president; Nancy Bowling, vice-president; Shirley Morling, treasurer.

This particular project and many others are carried out with the help of Mr. Lyon, the advisor. The ten new members of the Hi-Y hold lighted candles as they complete their initiation service. [ 61 ] The club chose these boys as officers: Bill Kinnett, sergeant at arms; Ed Shuter. secretary; Jay Wright, treasurer; George Ester, president; Terry Miskell, vice president; David Dougherty, chaplain.

They sponsored dances in February, parked cars during Farmer's Fair, and sold license plates and Booster buttons. OFFICERS: Gene Cofield, treasurer. Bill Kinnett, president, Larry Gabbard, vice-president, Tony Ascherman, secretary. [ 62 ] FOR WHOM WE YELL The band members and the members of the cheering section work together to boost team spirit. Assisting the cheerleaders to boost the morale of our Devil team is the pep club. There are eighty four members who sit in section I, which is reserved for the A. H, S. students who purchase season tickets. At each game, the pep club members wear either red or white tops. The members are given a pair of red and white gloves and each is urged to wear his at every game; this is a requirement for sitting in the yell block. The A. H. S. band has helped greatly in the past year by adding zest and dramatic sound to the cheers; this also enables the cheerleaders to use hand motions. The pep club, in turn, devotes its attention to doing these same motions. The cheerleaders, with the help of the band and the pep club, create the desire to win by supporting our team.

We tied for the conference championship with Brookville as we both had a 4-1 record. This is the first time Aurora has won the championship since the EIAC started five years ago. The game that decided our fate was the Tiger game. Things looked pretty gloomy as we were behind 6-0 till late in the third quarter; but. then things changed. Bill Kinnett raced 23 yards to set up the touchdown. Seconds later he plunged over for the score. Dave Kaiser scored the extra point to give us our sixth consecutive win and a tie for first place in the conference. This was also the year for breaking records. We scored 100 more points than our opponents. Our superb defense set a new defensive record as there were only 47 points scored againts us. We also broke Coach Urry willen plans foreComing attack with alternating captains the old conference record with jay bright, Bill Kinnett and Larry Gabbard, only 26 points being scored against us in conference play. We, the staff of the 1961 BOREALIS, wish to congratulate Mr. Larry Willen, our coach of the year. TONY ASHERMAN Tony has played four years, lettering twice.

[ 96 ] RUN LOW Each year, beginning the last week of February, the entire state of Indiana goes into a state of hysteria, tourney time causes this confusion. Every school in the state, from the largest to the smallest, has hopes of a tourney victory. This is one fact that makes Indiana basketball so outstanding. Our sectional, this year, was the very essence of this fact. We went into the first game with high hopes, but they were soon dampened as we lost to a hot-shot Shiner team. However, an even bigger shock was to come when the Bulldogs of Dills-boro upset the mighty Tigers of Lawrenceburg, ranked fifth in the state. After this the Bulldogs went on to win their first sectional victory. Games such as this, the excitement, and the knowledge that something unusual and thrilling is bound to happen has made Indiana basketball great and will continue to do so in the future. Mike Kennedy jumps high into the air to block a shot, but to no avail as Gary Bailey of Rising Sun scores two.
