Legend (Decatur, Ind Legend Bellmont High School Decatur, Indiana I m A Legend begins As we are beginning We falter. And we are depressed. We wonder if a victory is worth The tiring practice, the sacrifice Of our time, and the mud . . . The ball, like a wet bar of soap, Creates even a greater hazard For tired bodies . . . We are constantly reminded That we must set the pace For the community. We are new to each other, And they tell us to work together. Some of us have never played Football before, And they tell us we must win . . . As we learn, we begin to realize That we may be victorious Even if we lose the game.

Qpeech and English department go modern For the first time the speech depart- ment opened its doors to sophomores and juniors. Although freshman could not take speech as a class they had the opportunity, with eighth graders, to ob- serve at speech meets. Debates, panel discussions, impromp- tu and original speeches were empha- sized by speech students preparing them for participation in American Legion, Rotary, and Forensic speech contests. A new course, advanced composition, made use of slides, movies, and an over- head projector to better prepare students for college composition courses. Modern teaching methods were intro- duced in the English department with the use of English Syntax, a book of structural English, tape recordings, movies, panel discussions, and an intro- duction to logic. Field trips to the Civic Theatre increased the students under- standing of Julius Caesar. Business English stressed business let- ters and second semester students turned to selling. They learned how to con- vince the buyer to purchase their product in sales speeches.

Business skills call for speed and accuracy Today there is hardly any human activity or enterprise in which business is not employed to its fullest extent. Stu- dents preparing for college or careers find typing, shorthand, and bookkeep- ing valuable assets in today ' s fast pace world. Typing students first learned finger positions, then they gradually progressed from one minute timed writings to five and ten minute writings. Caught up in the frenzy of competition, typing stu- dents increased their speed and ac- curacy with the use of electric type- writers. Becoming acquainted with many confusing symbols was the task of short- hand students. They had to understand the language of shorthand and be able to take dictation with speed and ac- curacy. Materials for a project on income tax, which was completed in January by bookkeeping classes, were furnished by the Internal Revenue Service. Students worked out tax forms, figured discounts, and added endless columns of numbers, slowly understand- ing the fundamentals of bookkeeping. A practical use of the languages was stressed as students gave impromptu speeches, read appropriate literature, and participated in discussion. Pro- nunciation was improved by tapes and records. Earphones enabled the instruc- tor to listen in and give individual attention. A novel and short story with a French background served as French III re- quirements. An important part of the learning was writing letters to French penpals. Introduced for the first time this year, students spoke no English in French and German III classes. Through term papers, students learned about German schools, universi- ties and several German scientists. A German newspaper, Der Blitz, was pub- lished and circulated by German III classes. Although Spanish was familiar to some Bellmont students, it was not a part of the curriculum until this year. Short talks and reports on Spain were given to increase fluency and confi- dence in the Spanish language. Latin was brought to life through the use of overlays, showing famous structures in Rome as they were at the time of the empire and as they are today. Speeches and term papers develop language fluency Upper Left: French III student, Doreen Hirschy exchanges ideas, maps, and postcards with her French pen pal.

Through social studies, students were made aware of the operation and re- sults of the social, economical, govern- mental, and political systems. The increase of enrollment brought additions to the curriculum, including the electives geography and current af- fairs for sophomores. By studying world events via newspapers, Time, Newsweek, TV and radio, each student was required to follow a major world event by col- lecting articles and summarizing their outcome. By comparing the American Democ- racy to Marxism, senior government students realized the conveniences and privileges offered by our government. Sociology induced thinking as students studied the reactions of people in a va- riety of situations, as explained by John Maynard Keynes. United Stages and world history demonstrated to the student the many advancements of man and pointed out man ' s instinct for survival. An expanded science curriculum in- cluding numerous field trips and after school work sessions familiarized stu- dents with their environment. Taught to freshmen for the first time, physical science utilized special projects: making housepaint, concrete, soap and bread, to acquaint students with chemistry. The main objective of studying or- ganic compounds was to form reason- able conclusions from the facts pre- sented, testing the student ' s ability in logic. A study of plant and animal life was conducted by Biology f classes with leaf and insect collections serving as require- ments. Outside field trips to Bellmont Park and Mr. Journays ' s farm, en- hanced the study of microscopic ani- mals: succession from water to land and reproduction for Biology II students. Earth science, introduced for the first time, gave students an opportunity to study meteorology, astronomy, and space exploration. A field trip to the Decatur Golf Course gave students a chance to try surveying. Visiting the cemetery they learned why some monu- ments endure longer than others.

Right: Look- ing for the right pattern, Vicki Robinson and Sharon Plumley stop to admire the pictures. Art and home ec. challenge creative abilities Despite its increased enrollment, the art department survived its growing pains. For the first time Art III was intro- duced and with it, projects that taught skills of portraiture, rug weaving, oil painting, and clay sculpture. Beginning artists first had to learn prospective, and later graduated to ex- perimenting with color schemes, design, clay coil bowls, and loom weaving. Art students also provided appropri- ate decorations for the Christmas pro- gram, Pop Concert, Open House, and designed props for the play. Textbook instruction in tailoring, child development, and health care were introduced with the addition of Home Ec. III. A field trip to a local furniture store and grocery, gave Home Ec. students experience in home decoration and shopping. A fall and spring style show and ward- robe display from Wolf Dessaur was presented to the classes. Many Home Ec. Ill students participated in class- room style shows where they modeled their own fashions. Top: Helping to prepare for the next scene, Joyce Williamson and Kerry Uhrick do their share of the work.

At Bellmont, a variety of courses on different levels was offered to students to expand their mathematical abilities. The addition of business math aided students in developing basic arithmetic and business techniques. Three levels of algebra were offered to introduce the fundamentals needed to study higher mathematics, physics and chemistry. To add animation, outside speakers explained how math is utilized in everyday life. With the study of lines, angles, poly- gons, and circles in geometry, a logical system of deductive reasoning was de- veloped. New plastic geometric figures helped students see the shapes studied in class. For students considering a science career, trigonometry ideally prepared them for college. Trig introduced prob- lems that involved triangular re- lations, angular velocity and distance determination. E - .

Woodworking provides skills for 22 adults With the opportunity to increase their knowledge, 22 adults participated in the new adult woodworking classes. The two hour classes were held week- ly at the Bellmont South Campus. The classes were taught by Mr. Ted Byman and Mr. Frank Whitacre. A $10 supply fee was charged to each student. Class members were allowed to bring any piece of furniture to class to re- finish. Most of the items were from auc- tion sales or were family heirlooms, al- though some pieces were also in some of the members ' homes. Most of the work was done in class but some members continued their work at home in garages, attics, and base- ments. I spend all my spare time refinishing furniture, stated Mrs. Gail Grabill. After refinishing between 40 and 50 different items in the past five years, Mrs. Grabill transformed an antique springboard seat into a love seat. 1  . • •• V - ?

An elective course, it provided the experience necessary for a future vocation. Through the handicraft of General Shop students at North Campus, toy boxes, chairs, and magazine racks were provided for five different kindergarten classes. The class also offered drafting and elect ricity. For one student, mechanical drawing provided the opportunity to draw plans for the field house addition at Worth- man Field. Woodworking classes introduced the use of veneer and laminated materials. Cereal bowls were made out of plastic fiberglass. One project of the advanced woodworking class was making Danish modern salt shakers. Mr. VanArsdel converted the visiting team dressing room into a graphic arts and printing room, which will be ready next fall. Cabinets for the room were made by the advanced woodworking classes.

Girls ' Glee Club enlarges music department An enlarged vocal department was strengthened by the addition of the Girls ' Glee club, robes for the sopho- more Training Choir, and a nineteen member ensemble, The Brave Generation. During the weeks before Christmas, the Concert Choir recorded for WOWO radio station, and presented the annual Christmas program. Highlighting the winter months The Brave Generation placed first in the Dis- trict Music Contest and went on to re- ceive first place at the State Contest. Choir members created solos and dance routines for the spring Pop Con- cert, illustrating the robust spirit of the Roaring Twenties; the bounce of the Swinging Sixties; and the frolicking majesty of Camelot. Marking the end of school, the choir performed for Baccalaureate and Com- mencement signifying the end or the be- ginning of their education.

Seasonal changes reflect stylish band moods Marching across a wet, sticky foot- ball field on a drizzly October night, or performing different syncopated rhythms of the latest popular hits and brazen melodies, forming the Roaring Twenties during the Spring Pop Con- cert, the Bellmont Band constantly trans- formed its style and musical moods with the changing seasons. Highlighting the fall season, parades played an important part in the bands extra-curricular activities, as they marched at Bluffton and Portland as well as in fairs at home. During February, band students held and participated in the annual NIS- BOVA. As host to 500 students, the band was kept busy as ushers and judges aides. March brought the Three City Festi- val as the bands and choirs from Bell- month, Bluffton, and South Adams joined forces to present the Spring Festi- val held in the South Adams auditorium. With spring, the stage band came to life with songs such as Somebody Loves Me , California Here I Come and Can Can while the Concert Band worked on the majestic strains of Camelot.

Weekly newspaper, 9 X 1 2 annual denote growth Despite the handicap of a small working area, the journalism depart- ment expanded its publications to a weekly newspaper, a 9 x 12 yearbook, a literary magazine and a curriculum handbook, which gave valuable data on each course. During the first hectic week of school, the yearbook staff was faced with many decisions. What style would their book be? How large should it be? What would be their theme? And most im- portant, what would BHS students call their yearbook now and in years to come? Calling their book the Legend, the staff made their theme The Beginning of a Legend showing how BHS began and grew in its first year. Keeping with the Indian theme, and later its own reputation, the newspaper was called Brave Talk. It became a four page weekly report on BHS events. Once Upon a Light Bulb became Bellmont ' s first literary magazine, fea- turing student authors. The journalism department did not function as a regular class. Students knowing what had to be done were left on their own, often meeting after school to complete work or check over final layouts.

By stepping out the complicated rhythms of jazz, and learning traditional folk dances, the students received not only a diversion from the routine methods of physical education, but also enjoyment and a new understanding of dances-and their origin. Achieving a keen sense of competition and the qualities of good sportsmanship, the boys classes kept busy with volley- ball tournaments. Girl classes also held tournaments Monday evenings. Bowling also offered a new form of recreation for Bellmont students. Eighty girls competed in teams of six Thurs- days after school; while boys teams, competing for the first time, bowled on Wednesdays. Films were shown to students to stress important points, which helped break the monotony of daily classes.

Bellmont ' s Braves, defeated by South Adams in their first athletic encounter, went on to seven straight defeats at the hands of powerful foes. Never coming close to a victory, the Braves were scalped by scores such as 51-0 and 43-7. Coach Dick Van Ardsdel faced a building year in his first year in De- catur. Assisted by Larry Rothenhofer, he taught the basic fundamentals of the game while at the same time working for unification of players who had come from three schools through consolidation. With relatively little experience, the squad used all that they had learned to overcome a 13-0 deficit at halftime to defeat Angola, 14-13. The opposing of- fense failed to penetrate the Bellmont 35 yard line in a brilliant second half. Led by juniors Mike Terveer and Dan Pettibone, the Braves crushed NEIC championship hopes for DeKalb with a 19-7 victory. The last two games were played in fields flooded with two days of rain. Senior Ron Journay climaxed the sea- son by being named to the NEIC first team in the tackle position.

For this reason Bellmont ' s first Homecom- ing The Silver Arrow Coronation took on special meaning. Millie Harrell became part of this meaning as she was crowned queen. Scott Townsend acting as emcee, crowned the queen and presented her with a bouquet of red roses. Juniors Marilyn Doan and Sue Feasel served on her court as did seniors Barb Townsend and Karen Kunkel.

These words of Robert Burns gave life to Of Mice and Men, presented by the Bellmont speech department. The hope and despair present in the poem came to life within the characters. A totally new concept in staging was carried out in the background props. Impressionistic scenery was used instead of old traditional realistic fronts. The background colors changing with the mood were the result of cyclorama techniques. Two one-act plays were also pre- sented during the year. The suspenseful drama Submerged, and the light- hearted comedy, Opening Night. Top Right: One of the sub-climaxes during the play was the fight scene between Lennie, Tim Lengrich ; and Curley, Jerry Brown.

Camelot climaxes Qpring Pop Concert May 6 In keeping with tradition, the pre- sentation of the spring Pop Concert by the combined band and choir drew crowds to its two successful per- formances. With shimmering flapper dresses and long colorful beads setting the scene, the concert opened with popular songs of the Roaring Era. Lively dancing ranged from a soft shoe, to a mixed Charleston dance, including a chorus line antimating Thoroughly Modern Millie. Contemporary tunes followed, per- formed by the band. Brave Generation, and a folk trio. The majestic atmosphere of Came- lot was achieved with costuming the choir in the elaborate attire of King Arthur ' s court. Narrated by Scott Townsend, Camelot closed with flying lilacs and joyous tunes that gave the feeling of Spring and a carefree world. Top Left: Band and Choir combine for the grand finale of Camelot .

And this too shall pass away is parting thought For 236 graduating seniors, May 23 was the climax of twelve years of in- tensive study, last minute cramming, and numerous youthful pranks. Each senior was alloted six tickets for gradua- tion exercises, but many had to beg borrow or steal an extra ticket to allow one more uncle or aunt to witness their acceptance of the long awaited diploma. At Baccalaureate ceremonies May 19, Reverend Fuhrman P. Miller, pastor of the St. Mark ' s United Methodist Church, asked the 1968 seniors to remember the prayer uttered by Solomon, Give thy servant an understanding mind. Dr. Merle T. Strom, professor of Edu- cational Administration at Ball State University, used the quote, And this too shall pass away, to stress to BHS students that one should never be con- tent to stand still. Change is continu- ous, he said. Change is forever. Top: Seniors move tassels to the left, signify- ing the end of graduation and their final year at BHS.

This change resulted in wider representation of student views and also enabled closer contact to develop in the various classes. The council ' s activities began in De- cember with a Christmas can drive. Each student was asked to bring a can of food to be placed under a Christmas tree located in the hall. In January, the student council, with the help of officers from all other school organizations, staged Bellmont ' s first Silver Arrow Coronation, to be con- tinued each year as a tradition. After the coronation, a dance was held at the K of C pavilion. Working with the Decatur Historical Society, the student council put into motion a drive to save the Dugan home to be preserved as a historical museum. Late in February, Kathy Laurent and Susie Beeler represented Bellmont in Student Exchange at Portland high school. The purpose of this project was to enable the students to exchange ideas about school systems and policies.

BHS receives NHS charter; 53 seniors inducted May 23 In May of 1968, Bellmont high school was accepted into the National Honor Society to recognize scholastic honor students. To qualify, a student must have shown outstanding qualities in scholar- ship, character, leadership and service.

Navy blue sweater vests were pur- chased by the block and were worn with white long-sleeved blouses and dark skirts. To add an additional effect, red and white feathered headbands, red and blue pompom corsages, and red and white mittens were made by various pep club members for sectional, assisted by the help of Mr. and Mrs. Don Elder. The pep block was rewarded for its long hours of practicing as it was envied by the other schools.

Hamlet and MacBeth expose seniors to Shakespeare Suddenly finding themselves seniors, the first graduates of BHS were thrown into the confusion of filling out appli- cation forms for SAT and ACH tests. After filling out college applications, under constant pressure from the guid- ance department, the seniors tensely awaited replies. When finally accepted they began applying for summer jobs. Since senior English classes emphasized English literature, many enjoyed Far From the Madding Crowd, which took the place of a six-weeks book report.

Ron had returned from Boy ' s State just a few weeks before his death. To be chosen to go to Boy ' s State, a boy must be of good moral character and a good student.

The senior class of 1968 would like to dedicate this page to the memory of Ronald Merriman so that his contribu- tions to Decatur will be held in re- membrance by all who had the good fortune to know him.

Prom prepara- tions were on the minds of all juniors. Their prom had to be the best prom in Bellmont ' s history. Committees were formed for flowers, food, entertainment, photography, and invitations so the ju- niors could set to work. The first class rings were issued to the class of ' 69 ' in a variety of colors. They marveled at crystal, light blue, navy blue, red, green, pearl, smoke pearl, and rainbow. This year a white gold ring was offered along with the usual gold ring. As a preview of their senior year, the juniors endured the PSAT and Merit Scholarship tests. College-bound juniors participated in High School Day at several universities.

Carousel creates frolicking childhood memories Romance and childhood fantasies created a frolicking mood for the junior- senior prom, Carousel. Along a quaint park and gay, ro- mantic carousel, couples were found seeking glimpses of shy goldfish in the park pond while others danced beneath the red and yellow carousel canopy under the gaze of multi-hued horses. Despite the necessity of a closed prom, 280 upperclassmen attended the gala affair, while servers hurriedly prepared extra sandwiches and punch to accom- modate everyone. For the grand finale, balloons were released from the ceiling, as park foliage wilted and crepe paper tumbled to the floor. At twelve, couples left, clutching memory books, balloons and flowers. Nothing now is left but Majestic Memory. Longfellow Top Left: As Lois McDonald and Tom Miller enter Carousel, they are greeted by Steve Brown, junior class president, and his date Marybeth Schnepf.

Sophomores remain youngest at South Campus Finally the freshmen became sopho- mores, but this year they were still at the bottom. With the freshmen at the North Campus, located in Monmouth, the sophomores remained the youngest class. In October, sophomores participated in a hearing test under the direction of the school nurse, Mrs. Gail Grabill. Sophomores ordered their class rings in late spring, voicing their regret that they would not receive them until next year. Looking to the future, the class of ' 70 held a car wash to raise money for next year ' s prom. In October, their Sopho- more Fling , held at the Community Center, added to their financial status. Almost sixteen, most sophomores counted the days until a driver ' s license could be theirs, they experienced their first loves, and they encountered for the first time growing pains.

Freshmen establish traditions at Bellmont North Campus This year, because of consolidation, freshmen were separated from the rest of the student body and were located at North Campus. The separation was only in miles as freshmen were initiated by seniors in the spring, they came to South Campus for many assemblies, and they were represented by the largest group of Brave backers in the pep block. In October, the class of ' 71 sponsored a successful Hippie Hop, open only to freshmen. The atmosphere was lively and everyone enjoyed being a hippie for one evening. In February, the freshman band, under the direction of Mr. Hernandez, presented a program for band parents. Born Free, Dragnet, and Stranger on the Shore were a few of the selec- tions featured in the program. Upon entering high school, all fresh- men were required to write an autobi- ography for the guidance department. They also submitted to the tuberculin TINE test and the OTIS test, pulsory for all new students.

By continually advancing, the people of the North Adams Community School Board have made progress in a growing community to meet the de- mands of today. Being the product of a consolidation, Bellmont high school is a result of this progress. Therefore the ordinary prob- lems a high school administration en- counters were double. As principal, Mr. Hubert Zerkel, Jr. took on the difficult tasks, with the aid of Mr. Don Elder as assistant principal. Change isn ' t easy, transition is often difficult. But with the administration, faculty, and student body working to- gether the many difficult problems which arose were met and overcome. CI. ! 1 l n HA I mm,.

Special staffs aid Administration, faculty Effective functioning of a school de- pends not only upon the administration, but upon its special staffs. Into their hands rests the responsibility of fulfill- ing the daily tasks of school life. Four capable and efficient secre- taries handled the tremendous volume of paperwork brought on by the consolida- tion, along with the enumerable daily reports and transcripts. For the first time this year, teacher aids were employed. With teacher aids governing over the study halls, students found little chance for anything but study. Daily meals were planned, prepared and served by 17 dependable cooks. The school area and its facilities were kept clean and repaired by seven dili- gent custodians.

Two teaching scholarships given to seniors by faculty Just as a changing world places more demands upon students, teachers too are required to supplement their education. Whether it was attending classes in the summer to obtain higher degrees, traveling or just working at odd jobs, student-teacher relations were strength- ened as faculty members shared their unique interests and related travel ex- periences on local trips and abroad. Seven teachers attended classes during the summer. The subjects ranging from mathematics to speech. Nineteen members found the time to travel and took heed of the old clique See America First. Five teachers had the added enjoy- ment of traveling abroad. Seeing such countries as Russia, Poland, France and Mexico.

Faculty enriches their lives with various advocations After school, teachers enter their own private world where the problems of school work are forgotten, and the vari- ous phases of personal life begun. Such phases are filled with travel or domestic hobbies like cooking, sew- ing, stamp collecting. More complex in nature are politics, astronomy, photog- raphy, psychology or mythology. Many advocations enrich teachers lives, whether it be farming, painting, gardening or moonlighting. Their various activities help to en- liven and to stimulate their classes.

Decatur bestows Hoosier hospitality on With the importance of Indiana in the 1968 primaries, many celebrities and noted politicians visited Decatur. Mrs. Ethel Kennedy, complete with a white mini dress and opaque hose, spoke at the Democratic Women ' s breakfast on April 25. In her address, the wife of presidential hopeful, Robert Kennedy, pointed out, No matter what the out- come of the primary election the Ken- nedy ' s had a great time in Indiana. April 26 found downtown Second Street the site of a mobbing crowd ador- ing the blue-eyed Hollywood celebrity, Paul Newman, who declared his support for Senator Eugene McCarthy, in his unexpected visit to Decatur. The Community Center on May 1 welcomed Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jr., son of the 32nd president, for De- catur ' s Democratic pre-primary dinner. Roosevelt spoke in behalf of Senator Kennedy, stressing the importance of young people becoming involved in politics. Representing the Republican choice, the unopposed Richard Nixon delivered one of his major campaign addresses to cheering crowds in Fort Wayne. -■. m mm political VIP ' s . :. : Top Left: Campaigning for Senator McCarthy, actor Paul Newman stops in Decatur on his way to Fort Wayne.

St. Marks United Methodist, the First United Methodist, and the Zion Lu- theran churches constructed modern buildings to house their growing populations. U.S. 27, saw the development of two drive-in restaurants. In December, the first customer drove into Penguin Point for a quick chicken dinner. A few months later, Burger Chef opened its doors and introduced its charbroiled hamburger. Two new shopping centers Decatur Plaza and Village Green will soon ex- pand shopping opportunities. Decatur Plaza will be constructed on U.S. 27 North and Village Green will go up on U.S. 27 South. The first State Bank added a drive- through window for quicker banking service. Through community funds, the former Dugan home will be restored to a historical museum by the Historical Society of Adams County. By 1970, the winding paths and colorful trees of Bellmont Park will be transformed into the new Bellmont high school. For most of us the years of Bobby sox and braces are over We are now dependent upon ourselves For clothing, dates, entertainment. And the upkeep of our cars. At Bellmont 64 per cent of us Have our own jobs And 77 per cent of us Pay for our own clothes. We know what we want, We know quality, and we know How much things should cost.

Acknowledgements The completion of the yearbook brings with it the end of a school year. The staff hopes the 1968 Legend will recall countless memories of B.H.S. in its first year. With the experience gained at the Ball State summer yearbook work- shop, we have tried to capture the spirit of youth in 1968 through pictures and copy. We owe our sin cere thanks to Dick Kennard, Newsfoto yearbook consultant for all his patient advice, to Mark Jacobs and Mark Schroeder for their time spent in photography, to juniors Margaret Fritzinger, Debbie Snyder, Nancy Koos, Jane Freidt, Mark Jacobs, Vicki Everett, Margene Miller, Debbie Cochran for composing the index, and to junior Tom Miller for his help on the sports section. We would especially like to thank the faculty and administration for tolerating our constant interruption of classes and for allowing members of the Legend staff extra hall privileges as they per- formed their duties. Finally we would like to say, Thank- you, and Good-bye, to Mr. John But- ler, yearbook advisor, teacher and friend. May 16, at the Publications Awards banquet, Mr. Butler made the announcement that he will not return to Bellmont next year. He has accepted a position as publications director at Elm- hurst High School in Ft. Wayne. Follow- ing this announcement Mr. Butler brightened the mood by stating that Miss Carolyn Jackson, who served as head counselor at the Ball State work- shop last summer, will take his place as advisor.
