Although ¥C These ears, la As And each new Was more than just a name The first year passed so quickly (Oh . . . to live it again!) The doors were opened a second time And we were sophomores then, We plunged into it thoughtlessly Without looking at the past, For yesterday meant little to us Who were juniors at long last. The class rings came and we were thrilled With joy beyond compare. A feeling of pride came over us, A feeling we could share. Our senior year was upon us And we began to regret We would have to leave this place That we could never forget. A diploma was our goal, But we knew deep down inside The years we spent in Batesville High Were our greatest pride. Sometimes we laughed, Sometimes we cried, But we never weakened beneath our load, For there always seemed to be a helping hand along the road, We'd like to express our gratitude to each of you who strives To make our years at B.H.S. The best years of our lives. Dedication 1] book CO all orad iates the traditions for which our school stands. or wea TTT tA te ee Ny A Graduate’s Glimpse of B. H. S. A wide selection of academic {hi} (coca p SESLE and vocational courses offers a many opportunities which challenge a student to work for a well-rounded education. The objective of Batesville High School is to create with- in each student a thorough understanding of his abilities and to encourage him to de- velop skill to think for him- self. With a oneness in purposes and ideals, Bates - ville shows its students that worth -while things in life are acquired only through work. Education is the key to the fu- ture, and in Batesville the im- portance of a good education is realized. Crowded halls have become a tradition at Batesville High. Each year the hall situation seems to increase in serious - ness. However, the students do not mind the 'Battle of the Bulge . In the crowded halls, many friendships are begun. When the bell rings, everyone rushes through the narrow corridor, exchanging friendly words and edging ways to lockers. In three minutes’ time, the hall again clears and the students are ready for their next classes. Teachers are usually not seen in-the hallway during the rush, They manage to make their ven- tures through different chan- In B.H.S., pep rallies are often held before a big game. In the rallies and at the games, the stu- dents show an abundance of zest. They repeat the familiar chants and cheer for victory with undying enthusiasm. All eyes are focused on the players and cheerleaders, and the cries of the cheering sec- tion are sincere: Go! Fight! Win! h At the end of the day, Batesville High looks somewhat solemn and peaceful . The empty halls rest until the start of a new day, There is no remaining evi- : ee dence that over three hundred students i have traveled back and forth to classes through this hall. However, the stu- dents spend nine months out of the year in the familiar surroundings of Bates - ville High School, + : i : ieee In the library, students pour over referenc paring research papers. He Noticed a Friendly Atmosphere . . . An important part of any school is the attitude of its students toward each other and their superiors. Bates - ville has an atmosphere of friendliness and sharing. It is evident in the library, where many students share information and references. One can find it in the informal gatherings on the school ground, It is the kind of re- lationship that builds a healthy environment for studying, learning, and sharing knowl- edge.

Dan picks his favorite, while Martin waits his t urn. Typing students learn a skill which can be applied to fu- ture occupations. This course is practical for anyone who writes many compositions. Through educational T.V., the students were able to see the historic flight into space of Col. John Glenn. They watched and listened as he progressed in the procedures of launching, orbiting, and returning to earth. Many high schools offer courses which develop skills. Among these courses are typing, developmental reading, music, and art. The D.C.E. program gives boys a chance to work and learn a trade. Students take an active part in such courses, knowing that partici- pation is the key to success. Dan G. learms a trade in D.C.E. Educational T.V. serves a useful purpose.

' The high school gymnasium was transformed into a beautiful fantasy of tulips and windmills for the occasion. Decorated by the Juniors, it was a mirage of pastel colors. Green and yellow streamers formed a false ceiling which rose toa point inthe center. A wishing well stood in the middle of the floor and the stage was occupied by a windmill whose wheel actually turned.

Bulldogs See Action Bulldogs’ Football Bounces to The 1961 Varsity squad had a rough season, but under the direction of coach Baas and the co-captains Jerry Christopher and Chuck Albers, they proved that they could rally through the stiffest competition, although they didn't always make the winning score. These boys had integrity. When the chips were down, their spirits were high. They gave their opponents spark and action, as the spectators cheered them on to victory. Managers Student managers Dan Young - man and Joe Erne took care of equipment, kept records, and ran errands. In short, they were the behind-the-scene workers. Material rewards were few for Dan and Joe, but their labors were greatly ap- preciated by the coaches and team.

Also selected to the two all-star teams was Paul Meyer, leading rebounder. Paul played pivot and excelled as a jumper. Alvin Dickman, tallest member of the team, was a corner set shot artist.

The expert pitch- ing of Shane led the team to victory, but at times there was a lack of hit- ting power. With the loss of only two seniors, the team can expect to improve next year. Coach of the baseball team is Paul Wernke. The golf team took on a new look this year: out of eight players, six were freshmen. These boys showed fine form as they won fifth place in the Hillcrest open tourney. Senior Barc Westerfeld played well, completing his final season of high school golf.

Marching and performing in the Versailles Pumpkin show was the beginning of a busy schedule of precision drills and routines for the fifty-six piece band, led by drum majorette Roxanne Lightner and directed by Mr. Bartling. The group paraded in company front to the tunes of Pocatello, Swing-A-Roo Polka, and Yankee Doodle . ' After football season, the group began concert music and refined playing in preparation for the Ripley County Music Festival and the district music contest, With the addition of several new instruments, in- cluding a set of kettle drums, the band had a full, harmonious sound. Such selections as Azalea Trail, With Freedom's Flag, and Victory at Sea ’ scenerio set the mood for serious musicianship. Such light selections as The Sound of Music and Trumpets Olé were favorites of the band members. Special pro- grams at Christmas and Easter, entertainment at student convocations, and participation in six local parades added to the agenda. Director ... S. J. Bartling “Bess”’ Band Officers and Student Director, Bev Spencer Band officers Susie Steinkamp, president, Roxanne Lightner, vice-president, Carol Poske, secretary, and Virginia Wilson, treasurer, assisted Mr. Bartling throughout the year. The majorettes were always busily engaged in perfecting routines to add color and variety to the band performances. An appearance on television was a new experience this year. The climax was the annual band concert in May. The fruits of one year's playing were presented to the public and were received with enthusiasm. At graduation ceremonies, the band played Pomp and Circumstance to conclude the final ritual of the year.

In September of 1961, the student body voted to have a summer edition of the yearbook. Students realized that such an edition would mean sacrificing some of the fun of signing each other's book, but they foresaw the advantages of including spring sports, the prom, senior play, baccalaureate, and graduation exer- cises. Due to the foresight of the students, the Graduate could be the first yearbook to give a well-rounded picture of Batesville High School from September to May. Graduate Staff Tours American Year- book Company Another first came to the Graduate staff: a tour of American Yearbook Company. This was the first year for the company to publish our yearbook. Escorted by one of the company's members Mr. Mike Ayers, Bev Spencer, Editor, Marilee Walterman, Art Editor, Steve Morris, Don Werner, - and Mr. Doles adviser, traveled by car ee : | to the yearbook plant where they were met by their consultant, Mrs. Mildred Graham. Mildred was their guide and companion while they visited the company. She corresponded with the Graduate staff throughout the year and served as a link between Batesville High School and American Yearbook Company. Mr. Doles and Bev always relied on Mildred to answer their thousands of questions about yearbook production. One of the primary accomplishments at the plant was to design and select colors for the Graduate cover. Mildred helped the staff organize a ladder diagram which told what would appear on each page of the book. Then the group was ready to begin a thorough study of layouts and layout techniques. At one of the conferences in the plant, the ''Graduate staff met Mr. Dave Ram- ber who gave them all the do's and don'ts on yearbook layout. He illustrated various styles of layout and discussed the use of layout aids such as outlining, tints, mounting boards, and reverse printing. The staff began to visualize the limitless extent to which they could develop their yearbook. They were kept - “ry busy jotting down notes of interest. A tour of the company's plant gave the staff a glimpse of the careful processing and preparation that goes into each yearbook published by the company. They were amazed at the detailed work that was put into each page and the machinery that was used to organize and print copy. They saw each production step in operation and watched vari- ous yearbooks go to press. Before leaving Hannibal, the group visited landmarks of Mark Twain's famous writings. They toured the homes of Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher and viewed the bronze statue of Tom and Huck on a hillside overlooking the Mighty Mississippi. One of the most in- teresting trips was to the Mark Twain Cave, where Tom and Huck roamed in Twain's novels. New Look .. . Full-Year Coverage! Although only four students went to Hannibal, many others were involved in the tasks of pro- ducing the ''Graduate.'’ The advertising and business section of the yearbook demanded the most time and work. Judy Robinson, ad- vertising manager, organized an ad campaign which was carried out by Gerry Hane, Kindra Parmer, Ruth Thies, Janice Dickey, Mike Wernke, Linda Gibson, and Jerry Christopher. Circulation manager Linda Selke was in charge of a subscription campaign. She and her committee directed a clever skit which induced many students to buy subscrip- tions. Chuck Walke provided the copy for all sports coverages. Marilee Walterman worked with pen and ink, drawing the art work for the annual. Many other students also contributed their typing ability when business letters had to be typed. There was never a dull moment in the production of the 1962 Graduate. 41 FRONT ROW: D. Miller.

Spanish Club Sends Students to Mexico The Spanish Club, under direction of Mr. Charles Schlereth, spends the school year busily engaged in a series of projects to raise funds for a yearly trip to Mexico. The club's primary purpose is to enable a group of Spanish students to visit Mexico on an educational basis. It is also designed to give the students a fuller picture of the Mexi- cafiiculeire and way of life. Among the money-making endeavors this year was a donKey baskétball game held in the local gymnasium. The gym was filled nearly to capacity for thé event. Club members sold concessions during the game halftime. Other projeets inéluded selling tickets to the drive-in and the movie theatre. Christmas vacation Was Wighlighted by a semi-formal dance co-sponsored by the Spanish Club and the B-Men,After’a year of working and planning, these students were chosen to go on the trip: BeyéSpencer, Linda Gibson, Judy Arnholt, John Huneke, and Richard Erxleben. They and Mr. Schlereth left on May 28th to tour Mexico. Most of their time was spent in picture- sque Mexico City. While visiting the country, they had many opportunities to practice speaking Spanish with the Mexicans. Officers ...

Teachers Tomorrow The purpose of Future Teachers is to explore the field of teaching from a student's standpoint and to learn the values of teaching. During the year, the members view films about teaching, such as A Desk for Billie. ’ They interview faculty members and talk to student teachers. Through these talks and interviews, they can become well-acquainted with the college training required for teaching, colleges which special - ize in training teachers, and honest opinions from experienced teachers concerning the rewards of a teaching career. One of their chief services during the school year is to entertain children at the monthly P.T.A. meetings. Sponsor of the organization is Mr. Robert Brokamp. Officers are Susie Steinkamp, president, Sondra Lakamp, secretary, and Linda Selke, treasurer. Exploratory Teaching... program is designed to give students an opportunity to observe actual classroom activity and to try their skill at teaching. The exploratory teaching course is a one-year study in which students learn teaching methods and are given a chance to try teaching an elementary class. Students are required to keep a daily log on activities and are often called on to grade papers and com- pose tests.

Instead of the usual lipsticked faces, onions around the neck, pungence of perfume and hair tonic, initiation became a test of strength and skill between the freshmen and the seniors. During the first two months of school, the freshmen were required to wear blue and white beanies, On Homecoming day, the seniors and freshmen matched wits on the football field where they opposed each other in a series of relays, sack races, and rope pulling contests. Both classes won some events, but in the end the seniors had accumulated the most points and were named the victors. 64 Administration and Faculty School Board An efficient school system doesn't happen acci- dentally. Effective management demands civic- minded people who are willing to explore the unlimited horizons in the educational field. The members of the Batesville School Board are such people. These private citizens devote much time to approving bills, inspecting buildings, budgeting finances, and solving the many prob- lems which arise in our modern system. Little recognition is given to the school board for its accom- plishments, but the students are well aware of its untiring efforts. Principal . . . John H. Frushour addresses the Seniors: I would remind you that education is a continuous process, and those who would stop learning when they leave school are really taking a step backward. It follows then that you will continue to learn in var - ious ways even after your formal educa- tion is completed. Education does not end at graduation from high school or college. It is a never ending process. Keep up with your reading of good litera- ture and, through your reading, continue to develop a keen interest in the world in which you live. Try to find opportunities to be of real service to your fellowmen. Affiliate yourselves with these institutions and people that have for their purpose the making of a better world. Finally, lasting success comes to him who can lose himself in the interests of others. It is my wish that you may find such suc- cess. Our Administrators Lay Educational Guidance Counselor . Frank Setear Every high school student is familiar with our guidance counselor, Mr. Setear. Each student faces many problems as he prepares for the future. Freshmen must decide what they want to study in high school and must choose their field of study: academic, business, or vocational. Sophomores must choose elective subjects. Juniors and Seniors are looking for answers to questions about college and careers. All stu- dents need guidance in planning their education. To give them this guid- ance is the work of Mr. Setear. He administers tests, has individual conferences with students and par - ents, and offers informations about Indiana colleges and various occu- pations. His office is always open to the perplexed student. Superintendent . . . Charles |. Swain gives worthy advice to the Seniors: As graduates of Batesville High School you have completed a major step in your educational life. Some will enroll in colleges and universities; some will continue their education by attending technical and trade schools; others will discontinue their formal education. We sincerely hope that each will continue to be receptive to new ideas and be open- minded to changes necessary to keep abreast of ever expanding technical ad- vancements. You have had opportunities to gain much from the basic education provided in Batesville High School, Some have pro- fited much--others have not! Each grad- uate must answer to himself for the de- gree of success achieved. You are now entering a competitive world where each is judged upon his ability to produce a good commodity and improve the community in which he resides. Every citizen has a moral obligation to make this world a better place than when he entered it. Are you prepared to meet your responsibility? We believe you are. Best wishes in all your future endeavors.” Foundations for Growth. Secretaries ... demonstrate versatility in office management. Since the superintendent and principal are always so busy, they must rely on the office personnel to fulfill many of their tasks. Assisting with the details of managing a school such as ours requires knowledge of business procedures, patience, and courtesy. Our ef- ficient secretaries meet all these requirements. Keeping records, handl- ing school funds, taking attendance, typing cor - respondence, and com- pleting transcripts are a few of the many duties for which they are re- sponsible. Students realize that the smoothly run offices of our prin- cipal and superintendent are partially due to the proficiency and depend- ability of the secretaries.
