Lee Armstrong, new janitor at A.H.S. this year, is always busy checking facilities. The cafeteria meals prepared by our fine cooks, Kate Hollmeyer, Ester Mattox, and Lea Baker make the long waiting line worthwhile. [ 5 ] New members of G.A.A. also learned (the hard way) how to clean sawdust from the floor of the stage. Button, button, who's got the button? were the cries of the many girls attempting to become bona fide members of G.A.A. Margo Heilig represented A.H.S. as candidate for Farmers' Fair Queen. The theme of this year's Farmers Fair was River City. The fair included parades, beauty contests, and fun for all. Our annual Homecoming game was highlighted by the crowning of our Queen. Cheryl Crontz. Cheryl, a senior, is not only pretty but is also very active in many school activities. Excited fans, bundled in blankets to keep out the cold, enjoy the game and its halftime activities. Kirt charges ahead in an effort to score another touchdown for AHS. Half-time activity also included the announcement of the Ugly Man contest winner. Jerry VanGombos was officially pronounced winner by Karen Taylor and was presented a trophy by Dave Dougherty. r � f, cei)nbe r Season ii season being icluding Decemb marked by drear :r, January, and ness and lack of February; ictivity. 1 1 3 4 5 ) 6 7 8 lo y 13 14 15 16 17 IB 19 20 21 22 3 30 24 31 25 26 27 28 19 uary 2 3 4 5 O p=ifc IO II 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 The lack of activity due to snowstorms doesn't seem to bother John Petscher and Steve Manford as they take on three girls in a snowball fight. win' ter Season including exciting basketball games, tourney action, semester exams, and class play tryouts and rehearsals; season marked by dreariness over semester tests and lack of activity due to snowstorms. Junior Sandy Lambert was selected Christmas Queen and crowned at the annual Christmas Dance. Adding pep, spirit, and more than seldom, wrong notes to pep sessions and ballgames is the pep band composed of Dave Dougherty, Dan Rice, Phil Detmer, Bob Schipper, Mike Scudder. and Jerry VanGombos. The Christmas Dance Court included: freshman Sharon Sterling, Queen Sandy Lambert, senior Patty Bowling, and sophomore Suellen Tyler. The following students were chosen to represent A.H.S. at Girls' and Boys' State: Margo Heilig, Carol Gabbard, Marilyn Gregory, Betty Watkins, George Fox, Jerry VanGombos and Dave Dougherty: Their alternates were: Carol Thompson, Wanda Leffler, Donna Hammer. Wand Ellinghausen (not pictured), John Petscher, Carl Franklin, and Denis Cleeter. spring Season of the year when students' hearts begin to grow weary of school; season beginning with Class Play, including Spring Concert, Prom, and collecting yearbook autographs, and ending with Senior Commencement. Senior girls keep with the tradition of Senior cords decorated with everything from boy friends' names to pictures of Fred Flintstone and Wolley Segap. Each of the students who attended Girls' and Boys' State profited greatly by his experiences there. [ n ] Gary Kirkpatrick, Carol Gabbard, Lynn Theurmer, Steve Manford, George Fox, Cheryl Crontz, Denis Cleeter, and Margo Heilig composed the royal court of Queen Wanda and King Joe. gardens in paradise All eyes were on our soon-to-be crowned couple as they walked the golden mile to their seat of royalty. Our royal couple, Wanda Ellinghausen and Joe Tuifts, reigned over our beautiful Gardens in Paradise, We danced till the magic hour of midnight. These were the crews who worked long and hard to make our prom a success. stud' y A setting of the mind or thoughts upon a subject to be learned as by reading, investigation, or reflection; application of the mind to books, arts, or any subject for the purpose of acquiring knowledge. stud' y A setting of the mind or thoughts upon a cute blonde across the aisle; application of the mind to joke books, paper-wad throwing, or any subject for the purpose of acquiring attention. science and math prepare students Mr. Rice explains to Cheryl Crontz, Jake Porter, and Carol Thompson how to produce oxygen. In biology we learned about the birds and bees and the hornets. While dissecting frogs, insects, and the like, we learned it wasn't as hard on the animals as it was for some girls. Amid pops and sparks, we experimented to find out how to make new substances. With only a few mishaps, future chemists came out of the lab with smiles on their faces. Watch out everybody! Mr. Hall has a live hornets' nest in his hand. Donna, that mischievous look tells us you may be planning to blow up the lab. for challenges of the nuclear age Geometry students carefully decorate the traditional Christmas tree with their geometric projects. Don't laugh, John; maybe the drawing's invisible. We learned to add, subtract, and multiply. The math department of A.H.S. offers courses for every type of student. College prep students study geometry, advanced algebra, and trigonometry while commercial students take courses in business arithmetic. we learn langu- aprendemos las linguas mundi Pay attention” is another rule Mrs. Smith should list, isn't it, Steve? Through much effort from the teachers, the pupils at A.H. S. improve their English. In four years we learned to diagram sentences, to use good grammar, to write compositions, to understand American and English literature, and to give impromptu and prompted speeches. We also learned not to do certain things, such as saying git and ain't and using dangling participles. Each senior English student looked forward to class play tryouts, in which only the hest actors and actresses achieved success. Sophomore students eagerly act out Caesar's death. Is It possible that Mr. Hudson is playing Caesar? What is that funny looped writing on the board? Maybe it is a new American teenage style. ages of the world longuas del mini do cognoscimus First year Latin students are intently working at the board. This is Mr. Lyon's first Spanish class. They look like a studious group. Surely those pictures couldn't be that funny. Maybe Mrs. Simpson told a Spanish joke. Connie, were you a little slow on the translation? In Latin class, we translated Caesar and his conquests; in Spanish we tried to learn to speak the language as well as possible. We also enjoyed hearing about Mrs. Simpson's travels to Spanish and Latin countries. In social studies we went around the world and then came back to find out what made the U.S. A. tick. We learned the names of all of the countries, what they have done, and what they are now doing. Although we didn't settle any world crises, we learned how to become better citizens. We even struggled over tax forms and surprisingly enough, they finally came out right. This area is a chief trouble spot, Mr. Caims explains to his geography students. students learn world crises 1 don't believe it! Mr. Hudson's students actually seem interested in government. This group of attentive stuaenis, %. part of Mr. Cutter's economics class, is visiting the bookkeeping room of the bank. American Observers keep students alert to current events. Mr. Cutter simply refuses to open his eyes to the fact that students are sometimes right. past, present, and future Mr. Lyon and two of his students read their favorite section in the American Observer -- the jokes. U. S. history students are now studying about their own state, Indiana. we discover the headaches of typewriters As long as you can laugh at your mistakes, Jerry, you'll do okay in typing. This studious shorthand class will produce several fine secretaries. We typed and then typed some more. We learned how to keep books and how to use adding machines. Some of us learned how to take shorthand and read it back, but didn't practice sitting on the boss's knee. A, s, d, f - - j, k, 1,; -- first year typing students learn home row keys. adding machines, and printing presses Need we describe this picture? It simply shows the daily, routine, hard-working efforts of the journalism class. With all that work, no wonder we have such good yearbooks. Deadlines, criticism, and even anger had to be faced by Aurora's future journalists. But each of us learned the satisfaction of a job well done. What's so interesting, Rita? With your in tent interest, you must be reading the newspaper's gossip column. Seniors, Wanda Leffler and Marilyn Gregory demonstrate their ability to do the elephant walk. We developed our bodies and learned to be good sports, too. The boys did calisthenics, but the girls only did exercises. We took part in the physical fitness program to improve ourselves. Mr. Hickman lectures to his students on the proper care of the human body. pupils seek to acquire healthy bodies Physical education girls do warm up exercises before an exciting volley ball game. [ 26 ] Noi only did we learn to drive, but we also learned how to change a tire. We had many headaches as we tried to parallel park and even got dirty when we examined the engine. Still, we were rewarded on that happy day when we got our driver's license. 'This is an engine, Mr. Hickman tells his drivers' training students, Sherry Hardgrove and Doug Bradford. and good co-ordination “1 guess we’ll be safer with Doug in the trunk instead Car checked and okayed, Mr. Hickman puts his of the driver's seat, says Mr. Hickman. life in a student's hands and off they go. [ 27 ] vocational courses provide training Senior home economics students learn how to decorate their future homes by looking through magazines. A sophomore home economics student explains to eighth grade girls the art of making aprons. Learning to become good homemakers, we cooked, sewed, gave parties, and even had a wedding. We tried new dishes; and, if they were good, we kept the recipe for future use because we knew that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. We found our figure type so that we would have the right effect on certain people. It looks like these goodies baked by the senior girls may be used for a party. for future workers Kenny Johnston explains use of the grinder to fellow vocational agriculture students. In vocational agriculture we learned how to farm and how to operate new machinery. Studying soil samples, we learned what land we should buy for a good farm. In industrial arts we learned to use our hands and we worked. We will never forget the messes we made or Shelby with his board of education which he often applied to our seat of learning. Vocational agriculture boys examine new types of seeds and soil. Shop boys have access to this fine cabinet of hand tools. [ 29 ] Kenny Rowland and Jim Daugherty seem to be quite intent on their shop work. I Mr. Platt glances tight-lipped at the clarinet section as the band struggles through another number for their next program. fine arts broaden students’ The choir members blend their voices at a regular noon-hour choral rehearsal. We are proud of our fine band and choral group. Under the excellent supervision of William Platt, they win many honors at contests and festivals. Mr. Platt is very proud of the straight (?) lines and excellent (?) marching techniques of his students, evident in fall marching practice. Could this be modern art? Let's hope so. Indians aren't the only pottery makers - art students prove this point. interest in culture Paintings and sculpture were typical sights in art class along with hold that pose, a favorite expression of Aurora's Rembrandts. Art students keep busy with new projects. Hold that pose, Karin, insist her fellow art students. • •• ac liv' i ties Instances of being active, as in an occupation, recreation, or the like; as business or social activities; specific deeds or actions; spheres of action; exercises of energy or force; active movement of occupations; brisk or lively movements; nimbleness. ac tiv' i ties Instances of being active, as in Hi-Y, Band, Class Play, FFA, and Hi-Lite at 3:30 on the same Thursday afternoon; active movement such as rushing from Art Club to Sunshine Bake Sale to GAA volleyball tournament to choir contest to Smitty's Place ' to work on the Borealis. the ninety-four Drum Major - Jerry Van Gombos £ 'JpSSS' x y PICCOLO P.

We tied for the conference championship with Lawrenceburg as we both had a 2-0-1 conference record. The Aurora gridders won 7 consecutive games before they were tied by Lawrenceburg. They suffered their first defeat at the hands of the Greens-burg Pirates but bounced right back to trounce Cambridge City 25-7 before a large homecoming crowd. As one can see, the Devils had a very successful season, and the students of AHS are proud of '“'em and their coach of the year, Larry Willen, for a job well done.

Although, in number, we were the smallest class at A.H.S. in recent years, we were proud of our many accomplishments. As should be so, our senior year was the best of the four. We sometimes wondered when we would find time for ourselves, because activities and studies seemed to be endless, of course, all was not work and worry, for we finally reached the anticipated time for Senior Pictures, Announcements, Senior Cards, the Class Play and many other memorable events. Of our thirty-eight girls, we had more than our share of beauty. Wanda Ellinghausen was our pretty prom queen, and representing us at the Farmers' Fair was charming Margo Heilig. The perk Cheryl Crontz reigned over homecoming, and we selected attractive Patty Bowling as our Christmas Queen Candidate. Yes, our senior year has been our best one, and as we leave Aurora High School, we look back with feelings of accomplishment, proud to be known as the class of '63.

Proud we were to oe, at last, upperclassmen. Now we would make it on our own, even helping, at times, some Sophomore or Frosh struggling to become old hat. Our Junior year was filled with changes and activities. We were glad to find that, although in the past chemistry had been a Senior subject, this year it was offered to us also. Activity began with the Homecoming game and our pretty candidate for queen, Nancy Hall. Next was our class ring selection, a thing looked forward to for three years. An event which especially highlighted this year was the annual Christmas dance with our candidate, Sandy Lambert, being crowned Queen. Last but not least, the activity which most accented 1962-63 was our traditional Junior-Senior Prom.

We still envied the Juniors and Seniors, but we were envied too. Activities of our Sophomore year began when we selected pretty Peggy Getz as Homecoming Queen candidate. Next came Christmas and with it the annual assembly program, sponsored by the Sophomore class under the direction of Mrs. Simpson. This year's program theme was Is there a Santa Claus? Last, but certainly not least, was the Christmas Dance with Suellen Tyler--our member of the court. As our Sophomore year ended, we felt no regrets. This year had been swell, and our Junior year would surely be better.

One main question was in our minds. Would we be able to hold our own among the upperclassmen? To add to our confusion were our daily treks to Northside for Biology and Math classes. All was not so rough, though. Our first senior high year was highlighted by the annual Homecoming game with flirtatious Sandy Gellert as our candidate for queen and the Christmas Dance with perk Sharon Sterling to represent us in the royal court. Yes, we had our ups and downs, and as the year ended we realized that we were no longer green frosh but eager Sophomores.
