Like a magnet, about 8 o ' clock every weekday, a 70-acre plot in the country draws 16 buses, about 375 cars — and, most important, over 1200 people COM- ING TOGETHER for a common pur- pose. To this area comes a wide variety of people with 1200 separate combinations of goals, problems, and interests. From about 1,000 homes, both town and country, they represent different religions, family back- grounds and economic classes. This mix is the key that unlocks the door to expose new and different ideas, conclu- sions, and solutions. This variety, coming together, determines better conclusions in classes, ideas for extra-curricular projects, and often strange but lasting friendships. The variety, the interests, and the char- acter that make Blackford what it is would not be possible without that daily mixture which results from people COMING TO- GETHER. Opening, 3 The last day of Homecoming week represented every class: Art Club won the sign contest with the theme Tiger in a B ender (below).

Another usual foot- ball game? Hardly. This time it ' s Home- coming! It ' s a time when even the most apathetic student dons his farmer ' s bibs, warms up with cheers at the bonfire, and prays for a home victory. Senior Debbie Sulit reigned over the rest as the tenth Homecoming queen. Symbolizing the time of coming together, the first football team came back to join the celebration of Good Vibrations. Homecoming always brings the feeling of togetherness, of pride in our school . . . Afterwards, a sense of achievement to- ward unity is left to all, whether a Home- coming queen or just a fan backing your school. 4 Homecoming ■ ' N ; v ifi Homecoming S Boosting went faRthec than the BASketBAll q me OR pep session, emotional BACkinq of twenty PROjects BRouQht QRoup Unity to the school. The action on the floor is only half the story of a sport. The other half is the peo- ple who watch and support their team. Put one person in the gym yelling and showing the emotions of a maniac, and he is strange. Put 1,000 student fans at a Bruin game, and they ' re called rowdy, but nor- mal. Whether we won or lost, we came to one place to have a good time by being togeth- er. Before a game we had pep sessions and money-making projects. Selling the game ball and Homecoming mums made money for two clubs. Sports were a meeting place for every- one, no matter if they couldn ' t tell a field goal from a touchdown. If sport wasn ' t the main interest, the people who came to- gether were. Boosting made us feel closer, as we had at least one interest in common. 6 Boosting i6}0 Pride and spirit were inseparable: For example, at athletic contests, pre-game activities psyched the crowd up for the backing of the Bruins. A bonfire, likewise, united boosters (left) before a football game. Farmer Day meant driving tractors to .school (far left) and dressing down to bib overalls. Wagon- pooling gave juniors (lower left) a spirit edge over other classes. Present at basketball games were the Pep Ban( (bottom left) and the backers. Senior Terry Curme (below) matched shirt and yells in the Pep Club. iRirif ' Taking on new individual roles also changes the per- spective of others: During Spanish Club initiation, Tracey Sharits and Fred Bartrum (far right) switched from speaking English to Spanish to im- prove their language skills. Freshman Linda Tarr tests their speaking abilities. For practice, home eco- nomic students served the faculty a dinner. Darlene Walker (below) uses her hostess charm in serving coffee. Gabriel Piache, from the Philippines, (bottom right) exchanged his former way of life to that of a student in the United States. One of his new exper- iences was seeing snow for the first time. To brighten the homeroom, senior Bryan Maddox (right) nomi- nates student Marty Lechien to become County Janitor. Bryan also caricatured others to add humor to homeroom walls.

These were all changes in students ' roles and customs. We changed roles every day through new opportunities and experiences. By changing roles we learned about peo- ple out of our own country, nation, and i culture. For example, Spanish Club stu- dents spoke only Spanish during their initi- ation. French Club ' s international tours gave students an idea of how other people lived and spoke. Home Ec students, serv- ing meals to visiting groups, learned hos- tess skills to deal with people outside their own realm. Role changing truly made us more edu- cated about our own world and the world around us. Changing Roles 9 meetinq At school BROuqht social oppoptunities fOR students, faculty, and administRatORS, Resulting in fRien6ships m the scho ol and community. A favorite pair of blue jeans was com- fortable to wear, durable during heavy strain, and first to be picked above any- thing else in the drawer. Old or new, we wore them during special moments. The more we used them, the more we liked them. One friend could give us that same feel- ing. Education was really only part of coming together, as security and compan- ionship developed through a relationship, whether intimate or formal, was just as rewarding as passing an algebra test. With each class there was someone new to meet. Classmates became freinds by taking the SAT together, decorating the gym for the prom, passing notes or eating together at noon. We may forget the formula for finding the hypoteneuse of a triangle, but we won ' t forget the favorite friends and romances. The blue jeans and memory may fade, but that same feeling by coming together will remain. Spring was not the only season for friends and lovers: Freshman Angle Caril crams for a test (top) with assistance from classmate Lynn Slusher. Another friend-making area, the gym (right) might not be so helpful, but it was a popular spot to gossip or just to watch other people. Some friendships grew into clos- er relationships. For example marriages were unusu- ally numerous among faculty members (bottom). Former Miss Beth Hogg became Mrs. Michael Gar- ritson. Mr. Chris Coy, Mr. John Adams and Mr. John Reinhard also tied the knot. Friends . nd Romances, 11 A school that took was also one that gave: Art in the cafeteria halls (above) developed an appreciation for the others ' skills. Mike Tarr takes a look at paintings. In another area, Vanessa Claytor (far right) renders a service by working in the new DECA store. Mr. Dan Seymour works with Jeff Duncan (top right) to help build the new greenhouse for other departments.

Paul Montgomery does his part for others by selling Christmas wishes (right) to help the needy. 12 School Improvement One 6i0n ' t have xo look in a cpystaL baU to Be AWARe that we wepe developing. We wece pemmOeO evepy O y of our pRoqcess iowarC) matuRity. We are not the new school anymore. Many changes have taken place in ten years. We still improve. By improving, we had to come together to achieve whatever goals we wanted. This year ' s goals included building a green- house, for which life science, biology, and agriculture classes combined with indus- trial arts to make something useful for everyone. Improving pertained not only to educa- tional needs. We also improved our image in the community. We raised money for the heart fund, for two welfare faniilies, and two blind former students. The com- munity could see we did more than attend school; we also learned to participate in major projects. The process of impro ing proWded us with fresh knowledge while making a con- tribution to others. By making things bet- ter for others, an appreciation for each other, as well as for the community, result- ed. School Improvement, 13 Sometimes rt ' s misepy to C)o a tough assignment alone, so a little company saves the 6ay--an0 sometimes the gcaOe. It takes more than flour to bake a cake. All ingredients must go together in the right combination to produce a good re- sult. Just as the mixing process makes the cake, so students mixing harmoniously of- ten make a class. Working together in a class often pro- duces a better result than working sepa- rately. Combined efforts of interested stu- dents made easier and faster solutions than with one single person. Working together was not limited to the classroom. The administration also came together advantageously with faculty; bus drivers came together with students; stu- dents came together with each other and the community came together with the school. Working together was a continuing circular procedure. As the old saying goes: Two (or even more) heads are better than one. More learning can be accomplished with teamwork: For example, Kim Hummer and Darnella Pugh (above) make office lab information easier to find, with joint effort. Electricity classmates Tony King and Steve Grigsby (nght) work together because of a shortage of tools. Gym class takes everyone ' s cooper- ation (upper right) to return the volleyball.

STUDENT LIFE Student life is a river ... a river that runs to every possible variation of life styles. Some like to rock with Led Zeppelin while others may disco to Donna Summer. But not only music is different among students. All tastes are represented — tastes in friends, clothes, life styles. This mixture makes a wide variety c choices available to all who get together i enjoy the variations. But the variations are just streams com- ing together to form something bigger . . . Student Life. 16 Student Life Division . ' j It Student Life Dh-ision 17 Summer turned dreams The hands of the clock reach 3:09, the final bell rings summoning the students from their seats. It ' s the official opening of another Bruin summer! Blackford students have always taken part in summer camps. Camps and work- shops attended included Band, cheerlead- ing, journalism, basketball, drama, gym- nastics, wrestling, and a youth conserva- tion corps attended by Melanie Rogers. Her duties at the camp included setting up playground equipment and making a na- ture trail. Varsity cheerleaders spent their camp time at Kalamazoo, Mich. Three placed in a contest of the top ten cheer- leaders of 400 — Doug Myers, Dave Case and Julie Bailey. Manchester College again provided a summer camp for Band members. Direc- tor Fread was honored by seniors in a new version of Steve Martin ' s King Tut, re- named King Fread. Besides the usual summer vacation to Florida, Grandmas and the lakes, four Blackford students traveled abroad. Amy Holcombe saw the famous sights in Greece, Debby Overmyer spent the sum- mer in Holland, and Deanna and Dean Brown took a cruise to the Carribean. Summer jobs varied from mowing lawns to working at the new Burger Chef and lifeguarding at the pool. The girls playing Softball last summer had a different kind of job, one of playing a game, doing their best — and winning. The ending of summer is always sig- naled by the Montpelier Jamboree. This year ' s queen was Blackford ' s Brigit Farl- ing. Summer time was filled with sizzling in the sun with the stereo up too loud for the neighbors ... a date going to the movies and cruisin ' the strip . . .

Motors on his afternoon job. They led double lives Although the job market for teen-agers wasn ' t too good, many students, some through the help of school programs, were able to get employment. These were part- time or full-time and ranged from babysit- ting to mechanical jobs. Opportunities for some students came to those involved in Distributive Educa- tion or Industrial Cooperation Training. Both applied to seniors who have already completed one year, of the class prior to their senior year. These are both work- study programs. First-year DE students learned about retailing. Second-year students were placed on the job. ICT was a program of industrial arts- related jobs. .Attending his Industrial . rts class, the student was then released usually fourth hour to work. This pro ided both money and credits. DE and ICT students who were on the job were part of the 185 time release stu- dents, the majority of these students left because they had jobs. Why did these students want jobs? Money was the biggest reason. Whether it was for college, cars, sanngs, or just for spending, money alone stood as the biggest reason for jobs. Student Jobs 21 During open house an investigation by Ronda Man- ning, Regina Grove and parents, aided by Mrs. Va- lencic. discover the occupants of a jar in biology. Special programs helped Among the day-to-day inhabitants of Blackford High School came a variety of visitors. Some came only to spend an hour, or an evening, but some spent the whole year. No matter who the visitor was, he got that you ' re welcome here feeling. Many parents attended the annual Open House to get an idea of how an average day goes in BHS. Many special events were demonstrated for the occasion. The choir room was alive with the Sound of Music as Swing Choir performed all evening. Parents passing by the Home Ec. room got a sample of Brewin ' Singles cooking. Publications made the visitors use their brains, finding 10 words out of the word Reflections to get their names in the drawing for a free yearbook. Tours were also given around the Pub room. Mass Communications provided the movie camera, parents providing the live inter- views. Some visitors also brought the enter- tainment. Convocations were varied this year ranging from music to gymnastics, by a Ball State team. Music was provided by John Daniel Tate, a one-man band, and the Sunshine Express during their third visit here. One visitor from far away was Gabriel Picache from the Philippians, who came as an exchange student. He graduated with the Senior Class. Any time of the day, the school was open and ready for visitors, who may not have wanted to live at BHS but it was a nice place to visit.

Night fever struck again Although there was an apparent lack of recreational facilities for youth in Black- ford County, students found ways to spend their leisure hours. Whether it was cruisin ' with friends or taking a walk, night life existed. Cruisin ' , an all-time favorite of stu- dents, consisted of driving down State Road 3, going around the Dutch Maid Car Wash down and around John ' s Awful Aw- ful. Students sometimes parked to pull somebody over, just sitting there and talk- ing with friends, or just watching people go by. These parking places included the Car Wash, Little Butch ' s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Hook ' s, Kerr McGee, Tourney Realty, Goodyear, Shell, Standard, C C, Colonial, and John ' s. Cars could be found with a single driver or with other passengers all out cruisin ' . School activities such as ball games and meets provided recreation along with city parks and seasonal activities. Students flocked to the local eateries after ball games while cruisin ' to munch on pizza, burgers, fries, and other favorites. Around Halloween many could be found taking a tour through the local spook house or out tricking and treating. Some could be found playing ball or frisbee in parking lots or taking walks or playing basketball in the park. Still, many students could be found traveling beyond the boundaries of Black- ford County. Muncie and Marion pro- vided movies and malls while Huntington offered a popular disco. Because of the closing of the Litehouse, many students visited the disco in Huntington, which pro- vided a different atmosphere on Saturday night, requiring that a person dress up. These and others make up night life. The dark of night doesn ' t stop determined amateurs nice Da ve Reidy from playing frisbee. Hook ' s parking lot often serves as the playing court. Kentucky Fried Chicken ' s parking lot serves as a meeting place for cruisers.

Celebrating the once-in-a-lifetime events Milestones don ' t come often in a per- son ' s life, but when they do, they are un- forgettable. They bring people together in celebration. And no matter who you are — student or teacher; young or old, adult or child — such points in life are the most memorable whether a school or a person. Blackford students milestones are var- ied. Seniors graduated in May for the first and only time from high school. Many pu- pils also enjoyed the milestone of mar- riage, but this wasn ' t limited to students. Several teachers also tied the knot. Drama students helped celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Thespians. .A.fter the last performance of Barefoot in the Park, the audience joined in the party. Another anniversary brought remem- brance. Blackford High School had the tenth anniversary of its construction. The new high school consolidated Montpelier and Hartford City schools. Endings can be celebrated, too. as the retirement of Mr. Ed Henderson, publica- tions advisor, who completed 41 years of teaching. The times of your life you ' ll always re- member — the once-in-a-lifetime events — milestones. About 60 ' c of the local residents took advantage of their right to vote in November. Election day brought this local voter out to the polls. To ease the tension of negotiations, Sadat, Carter, and Begin relax by strolling around the grounds of Camp David. Peace talks ended optimistically. Year of extreme emotions Everyday happenings that make the news in the nation and the community . . . Little things and major events that con- nect people everywhere, near and far . . . This year brought fall elections when young and old practiced their right to vote. For many seniors, turning 18 meant an opportunity to use their voting right. The annual United Fund drive was a way many people could give. The Industrial Arts Clubs also gave students a chance to give in a Thanksgiving food drive. Peace . . . sometimes so hard to achieve. For two countries peace, after many years of fighting, was within their grasp. Sadat of Egypt and Begin of Israel attended peace talks at Camp David which resulted in a historic TV appearance. Europe had another historic event, with the first Polish pope in 400 years. John Paul II was named pope after John Paul I died after a one- month reign. Tragedy appeared on the scene as the shocking story of the Jones Cult was un- folded. After a shooting of American gov- ernment personnel, a mass suicide of over 900 people was triggered. Indiana also had a major tragedy in the form of a shooting of four teen-age Burger Chef employees. A Jones cult family clings together in death. Death was especially traumatic when 900 cultists died of self-inflicted poisoning in November. 28 Nalion And Community ( mnpuscs everywhere ring with the word Toga!

During the noon hour kids could be found playing basketball, paddling around with ping pong, or just showing off with a frisbee. For some, fun was sitting in the gym and talking to other friends. Special Ed students enjoyed a game of bowling as the class toured to the bowling alleys. Let it snow! was what snowmobilers were chanting all winter, anxiously waiting to slide around on the snowy parking lots, fields, and roads. Skiers also found this to be an enjoyable part of the year, as they skied down slopes or wherever a place could be found. Sunshine and warmth brought new sports and enjoyable activities. Flag foot- ball was a favorite sport as was illustrated in the Pub-Journalism football game. Bas- ketball was also played by girls as a means for practice and enjoyment also.

These included candystriping, nursing home work. Scout leadership, bake sales, and aid to the needy. Candystriping was voluntary. Each girl involved worked from four to six hours a week at the hospital. After putting in 100 hours, there was a capping ceremony for the girls. Candystripers performed a vari- ety of aids for patients. Caring for the elderly in nursing homes wasn ' t voluntary, but it did serve the com- munity. This job required patience, love and understanding to serve the handi- capped elderly. Many students worked in this area. Although it may seem strange to still be in Brownie Scouts when in high school, it ' s not really, when a teenager is the lead- er. Being a leader was a time-consuming volunteer job. It required one night a week for weekly meetings plus many extra hours for special programs, field trips, and camp. Another way many students got in- volved in the community was through bake sales, which served both community and the school organization. The Choir, for ex- ample, conducted their bake sale. Choir members donated baked items and sold these to shoppers in Hartford City in Montpelier. Choosing the baked goods at the annual choir bake sale is Mrs. Helen Caperton. being assisted by choir students. CommunitN- Involvement 33 Tore !

Keeping one ' s mind on school work wasn ' t easy as those final days before break rolled around, especially for those who planned travel for their week ' s fun. Students not only left for a week, but many took prearranged absences and left early or stayed late. Spanish Club members toured the his- toric country of Mexico. Two juniors also went to a historic town, the nation ' s capi- tal, Washington, D.C. The senior tradition was again hailed, as over 30 made the trip to the sunshine state of Florida. After the freeze of the northern temperatures, even a sunburn didn ' t feel so bad. Kelly Bailly found the warmth of the sun in Hawaii. The lure of the Smoky Mountains cap- tured seniors Rochelle Anderson and Cin- dy Hornbaker for a three-day stay of sightseeing and hiking. Luck was a big part of Doug Dudgeon ' s vacation, as he traveled to the gamblin ' town of Las Ve- gas. Wherever BHS students traveled, ev- eryone brought back lasting memories of their experience. But as the last days of break dwindled, one thought was in most of the travelers ' minds as they made their way back: There ' s no place like home! Visiting the historical part of Florida on their trip are Tina Yount, Mike Johnson and Kim Stump, The three toured a fort of older days.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow was selected the theme for the May 5 event. Bryan McDonald and Teresa Brown were Prom co-chairpersons. Just Friends was the band that provided the music for the Prom, and The Late Show provided entertainment for the after-prom.

The graduates were provided with a message of inspira- tion by Father Keith Hosey of the Pope John XXII Center. Two classmates also gave speeches for the future, past and of hope. Salutatorian Debbie Sulit thanked the people who helped her fellow students get where they were. Valedictorian Doug Dudgeon showed the graduates the changes they would have to make. The traditional mov- ing of the tassel was accompanied by more than a few whoops and cheers. Graduation day started with the annual honor day. The awards and scholarships were many, the most valued probably be- ing the ROTC scholarship given to Tina Yount, which paid for her four years of college. Doug Dudgeon received a Nation- al Merit Scholarship. KBF Awards went to Phoebe Zigler and Kris Dearduff.

Mistakes were made when one was learning new skills. Ruby Dennis (bottom) renews a typing paper. ACADEMICS Ask anyone why he comes to school, and it ' s likely he won ' t answer academics. But academics (classes) is the main reason for attending. Academics weren ' t always boring. Classes weren ' t just sitting at the desk and repeating what was just told by a teacher. Classrooms were full also of debates, con- versations, comparisons. Ideas of all kinds were introduced. Problems with many sides were solved. Sometimes class was fun purely to learn. But facts didn ' t make the class. The people did. Each person had his own views. Many learned by doing as well as by studying. But no matter what process was used, the end result was also the purpose for which we came to school — to learn. 40 Academics Division Acsdemics Dhision 41 While in trigonometry class, Mr. Jerry Shreves and Cheryl Layman try their luck at completing a difn- cult slide rule proportion.

While going through procedures of making a gar- ment, Kim Hawk is deeply involved in completing her clothing project for Home Economics cUss. Some were complicated Students in math found they could solve problems in two ways. They could create their own formulas or follow the one in the book. The easiest, of course, was following the book. There were math formulas such as cos ( B)= cos cosB sin sinB, tan = cot, and E=vh. Many classes used formulas in their work. For example, English class required the knowledge of writing a term paper, complete with footnoting and bibliogra- phies. Debits and credits equal a ledger was used by all bookkeeping students. Social Studies required the skills to make an out- line from the notes taken during lectures and reading. In almost every class there was some type of formula being used. Lab in chemistry required several for- mulas and ways to put them to use. V- was used by students to get the frequency waves. E=hv helped solve for energy. Formulas must be practiced and used if they are to be helpful, stated Teresa Brown about her chemistry experiences. Sugar, flour, and lots of concentration on recipes were used in Brewin Singles. Whether it was baking bread, cooking a meal, or just taking a test, formulas were to be followed. Sewing required cutting skills, following instructions, and using pattern formulas. Knowing what lines to pin on, where to cut, and what to sew took common knowl- edge and following the formulas it took to complete the outfit being made. Even the detailed pages of this yearbook took on this important idea. Arranging the pictures so they would fit and then scaling them with proportion instruments to fit the specified spot required a formula routine. A little extra time is required to follow the exact recipe. Mike Bryant tries to prepare the perfect dish during Brewin Singles class. Developing By Fonmilas 43 In Radio and TV Productions Rich Roaric tapes an interview with Announcer Al Rent and Ms. Pan-, Dunbar about army recruiting. Many ideas are being received by Dennis Tyler as he studies and learns beneficial information communi- cated through library books. 44 Developing By Communicating Probably the most frequent communicators arc re- porters. Robin Haines, journalism, interviews Dave Reidy, athlete, for a personality sketch. Communicating to learn Communicating refers to more than just conversation. Students in class must learn to communicate in many other ways. For example, ideas are transferred through books, particularly in Social Stud- ies, Literature, Psychology, and Mass Communications. They are also exposed to many ideas and thoughts in using the li- brary. They can look in newspapers, pam- phlets, and magazines to establish commu- nications with the past. The Publications Department commu- nicates with every student who reads the BruINformer or Reflections. The depart- ment reports and publishes the news bi- weekly. Other than the usual activities, journalism students report and interview outside celebrities as well as school per- sonnel. The yearbook staff also communi- cates a complete record of the year ' s ac- tivities and happenings by publishing the Reflections. It is a year-long process and becomes a reference book to students and staff. Music is another way in which people communicate. It is often called the uni- versal language to express feelings. No vocabulary is necessary. Students sing out their emotions and, in some cases, add spe- cial meanings. Announcements read over both the P.A. system and TV is the way the student body learned what was going on in the school. Information on the TV Blackford To- day Show, included the weather, sports, and special interviews. Open House also gave teachers a way of communicating with parents. They dis- cussed how their children were doing in class, and suggested methods of improve- ment. BruINformer ' s sports page is Joe Leeth ' s medium for communicating sports information to the student body while working in Publications. Sending his homing pigeon, as a way of communicat- ing on a science class mission is David Martin. Dave raised birds as profitable hobby. Developing By Comnmnicaring 45 A bullseye scored by John Faas shows bis physical education practice has paid off by developing more coordination in archery. Swing Choir members are being entertained by Bry- an Maddox as he adds a new twist in teaching them a new dance step in a most unusual way. For added interest, Mrs. Gabbard ' s art students. De- anna Slusher and Nancy Smith, take class outside for a more relaxing fall atmosphere to sketch. 46 Developing By Practice J Practice makes perfect, as Robin Ely Hndi out she really can ' I look at the typewriter keys during Mr. Ross ' s Typing I class. That lantali .ing fourth-hour aroma from Room 130 was from the tasty final product of Lance Deffen- baugb ' s Brcwin ' Singles baking project. Perfection took practice Practice doesn ' t always make perfect, but students in classes such as typing were exposed to hours of practice to acquire that improvement in skill that comes only with drill. Whether it was cooking in Brewin ' Sin- gles, typing with a little something extra, or just drawing your own thing, mistakes became fewer along the way. When times got rough, such as when the whole line of bookkeeping figures was wrong, the old saying, Try, try again, was shoved into students ' heads. Even though some would rather have changed the phrase to If at first you don ' t succeed, forget it, they learned quickly that this could not be. Amazingly enough, just by watching someone else playing a drum or a flute and practicing what one saw, the results paid off for the effort put forth. Swing Choir, for example, had to learn the steps to perform while singing. Phys- ical Education required practice in run- ning and archery. Practice was a definite must in Eng- lish classes, where commas and capitiliza- tion were used correctly only after drill followed drill. Likewise in the use of tools in shops, gauges were read accurately and machines operated correctly only after the task was done several times. Practice was required for the goal of perfection whether it was .-Vlgebra. T p- ing, or Shorthand. Algebra took on a trial and error method which meant doing the problem and. in many cases, erasing and doing them over. EverNthing done had to be practiced before it was done as teachers wanted it. Blackford students showed e i- dence of such im provement by the end of school. Developing By I ctice 47 French classes in a new spark in the food depart- ment as Earl Ely admires the new French dish and tries to decide what he ' s getting himself into. Home Ec. took part in the tour of local homes. Bev Renner and Laverna Atnip examine a Hoya plant in the Stanley ' s home, one of the toured residences. Changes marked year The building was the same, the courses were the same, the schedule of events was about the same, But the people and some other things were different. There were changes in rules, the most significant being the attendance regula- tion. The new rule stated that if over 10 days were missed in any class, credit will be lost in that class, unless a doctor ' s ex- cuse was presented. This rule was intended to cut down the number of absences. Another change was the hiring of 12 new teachers. The absent teachers decided either to move on to other things, or just to places. Three newcomers took over coach- ing positions: Mr. Chuck Lori, football; Mr. Steve Brunes, basketball, and Miss Sheryl Wright, volleyball. All three also taught their respective classes. A major change was the statewide CAPPS project involving teachers, admin- istrators, parents, and community mem- bers. This program was a study to learn whether students were reaching stated academic goals. English Departments were evaluated this year in reading compo- sition, and spelling. French students David Wilson. Lynn Slusher. and Michelle Thomas further their studies by experienc- ing new tastes in French cooking. 3 Developing By Changes J Changing personalities by altering hair and complexion was a miracle performed in November by Hair ' s the Latest of Bluffton; (Bottom Left) Jenny Shoemaker and Michelle McCardIc; (Top) Clem Reinhard and Tina McGee; (Bottom Center) Randy Kunkle and Carol Oar- linger; (Bottom Right) Sally Anweller and l.ori Strait. Each of the girls was given a new and individual look within one period. The other students of the class were given ideas of how to apply make-up effectively and how to style their hair. The event was sponsored by the Home Economics Department as a guide in style.

Buy- ers are Evan Pethtel and Mark Lewellen. Both music and physical expression are revealed as Suing Choir members prepare their program to per- form for organizations throughout the year. Expressions of emotions Expression played an important role in Blackford this year, whether it was in school, in extra-curricular activities, or just doing nothing. Art classes expressed their feeling in paintings, drawings, or by other forms of art. Creative art allowed a better way for students to express themselves. People experienced the spirit of Christ- mas as old Santa himself made his annual appearance at BHS selling Christmas wishes. Income of $245 went to two needy families in Blackford county area in the form of gifts. Physical Education brought strained ex- pressions to kids while running their one- mile, and relief when the exercising was over. A Karate expert was brought in to demonstrate the art of Judo, which was a hair-raising form of expression for P.E. students. A different type of expression came in Mr. Joe Castelo ' s room as Dave Bergen, student teacher, took over the class while teaching about mountain men. Mr. Bergen put himself in their position for a day and showed expressions men used. Feelings of the blind were experienced by Home Ec. students — Sheri Stoll. Brenda Yadon. ' Lisa White- sell, and Lisa Lawson — as one project. 50 Developing By Expression Expressing his reelings as a mountain man was Mr. Bergen, student teacher, after attempting to remove Brian Went . ' s bead in U.S. History class. Karate experts relieved their tensions by demonstrat- ing the art of Judo to P.E. classes. Lisa Whilesell tries one of the techniques. Comparing aided learning Comparisons were school-wide, as stu- dents compared everything from report cards to schedules, or anything else they could find. The new law of having Co-ed P.E. classes brought a new challenge to girls and guys. Comparing times while running laps during the Physical Fitness tests, or the number of push-ups that could be done in a minute was often an interest. Comparing schedules was a big item on the first day of school and at the beginning of second semester. Making sure someone that they knew was in every class was a must. This was especially true of fourth hour to have a friend to eat with. Report cards made good comparison items each time they were received. What did you get in English? and What did you get in Math? were often heard from students while walking down the hall, each hoping he did better than the other. Art drawings, macrame, and ceramics were often compared as students viewed them in the hall art show. Different de- signs on vases, or similar types of yarn on macrame, were among the top compari- sons. Comparisons not only encouraged com- petition in sports and extra-curricular ac- tivities but it also motivated classwork. 52 Developing By Comparisons An classes brought comparative projects to the stu- dents. Tumnjy Wolfe tries to decide the difference between the yarn projects in the hall display. Comparing strength are Dave Pouell and Scott Kim- mel as they try to out-do each other by seeing who can lift the heavier amount of weight.

Physically some are short or tall, chunky or skinny. Backgrounds are different. Farmers as well as city dwellers come to the same school. Likes and dislikes vary. Though hard to please all, the best interest of ev- eryone is the people, whether students, teachers, or administration. The variety of people makes each day new. Different ideas make many choices for everyone. The people are the most im- portant part of all decisions and actions. All different, we still have something in common: coming to the same school. The people will be what we remember most. 54 People Division ' ' ' • 5t J People DuTsionSS Deans enforced rules A day with a dean was just the opposite of what a reporter had expected. For example, during first hour, students came in and had Mr. Kenneth Ross, dean of boys, to sign their passes so they could get back into class or so they could leave school early for special appointments. During the rest of the morning, he looked at excuses from the preceding day and checked whether they were excused. He checked the sign-out sheet in the main office to see if it agreed with the health office and his records. He held confer- ences with students concerning tardiness, attendance, skipped classes, detentions, and misbehavior. Third hour, Mr. Ross was found teach- Counselors: Mr. James Landis. Mrs. Jayne Allen, and Mr. Stuart Brown discuss plans for next year ' s schedule yith Principal G. William Anderson. ing a Typing I class. At lunch Mr. Ross sat with students and kept others from cutting lunch lines. During the afternoon, he checked the attendance cards to see how many days each boy had missed. If anyone has missed nearly 10 days, he sent a letter to their parents that explained how many days the students could miss before they were sub- ject to the loss of their credits. When it was necessary, Mr. Ross stayed after school and held conferences with stu- dents and parents. A day in the life of Dean of Girls Mrs. Jody Gibson would be similar, except Mrs. Gibson also takes care of all the atten- dance records, both boys and girls. Mr. Ross also has a speciality. He helped to direct traffic and to prevent unnecessary accidents. :.....:.30-| Falls sports a ward for Most Valua ble Player in tennis is presented to Biff Wilson by Athletic Director .Mr. John Carbone at the annual sports banquet.

Mr. Anderson supervised and evaluated classroom activities. He advised teachers concerning discipline problems when needed. Mr. Noel Lewis, assistant principal, was in charge of getting substitute teachers. He made announcements, checked for conflicting calendar dates, granted parent pre-arranged absences, and assisted in dis- cipline. He also was summer school princi- pal. Mr. John Carbone, athletic director, was found in the school at all times of the day and night. His important responsibil- ities included scheduling and attending all athletic events. He was also the head of ticket sales. Mr. Carbone met with Sectional tourna- ment coaches and principals, and he pre- sented athletic awards at the annual sports banquet. BHS .Adminislrauon MR.

Actually, many Blackford instructors had childhood ambitions to do something dif- ferent with their lives. For example, Mr. Chuck Lori wanted to be a cowboy, professional athlete, or a doctor. Finally, he decided upon teaching because of coaching possibilities. Coaching was also an important factor in the career of Mr. Jon Stroup. When a child, he wanted to become a professional baseball player, but lack of talent for the sport led him to major in engineering. Finding he couldn ' t coach because of rules in high school sports, Mr. Stroup therefore became a teacher. I wanted to be a nurse, Mrs. Beverly Valencic said, but I couldn ' t stand the sight of blood! So, how did Mrs. Valencic become a biology teacher? The blood there isn ' t that bad. Mrs. Ruth Henderson wanted to be a per- former. I just loved singing and dancing! said Mrs. Henderson, who is also a jazz pia- nist. Mrs. Donna Atkinson, planned to be an airline stewardess. Meeting and marrying her husband Bill foiled the plan. After marrying, Mrs. Atkinson became a home ec. teacher and now teaches German. Mr. Chris Coy wanted to be a veterinarian to work out-of-doors with wild-life. But Mr. Coy finally found himself a biology teacher, and track coach. 58 Faculty MR GARY CHF.R.SMAN. B.A.. M.A,: Indust.

Taking lessons were Mr. John Adams and wife Donna; Ms. Becky Moore and partner Mike Ducy; Mr. Doug Osborn and partner Terri Robbins; Mr. Chris Coy and wife Tiann, and Mr. Rick Teats and wife Susie. When you go to discotheques, you have to relate to the dancing, commented Mr. Ad- ams. Dancing is back to partner dancing, and our wedding reception was disco. Danc- ing should be fun, and it ' s kind of got to be work. Mr. Osborn enjoyed the lessons and he en- joyed learning dances like The Swing, We put the lessons into use whenever we can, he commented. Some of the favorite dances were The Swing ; King Tut ' s Strut ; and the Fort Lauderdale Hustle. Discotheques on the top list were King ' s Corner, Lucifer ' s, and the Mariott. After-the-ball game dance crowds were of- ten treated to Disco — Teacher Style , When these five teachers and partners boo- gied to the beat of the band, they taught the student body something besides reading, writing, and arithmetic. 60 Facu iy Stepping up Ihirn Ihc junior liiyli life lo Ihc l:i-,lcr- puccd life of the high school ;.s Sophomore :ind Junior English teacher Mr. Richard Heymer Symbols of their prep periods, a variety of personal coffee cups, used by teachers during their breaks, adorns lounge refrigerator top.

Many faculty members pursued hobbies as a source of relaxation or exercise. Sports ap- pear to be popular. Both men and women may be spotted on the golf course, and a few have been brave enough to enter tourna- ments. Mr. Gary Cheesman ' s interest in ath- letics has led him to officiate in basketball. Mr. Robert Coscarelli combines talent with pleasure in his hobby of gourmet cook- ing. His interest stems from being reared in the restaurant business. Mrs. Donna Atkinson followed her hobby to Scandinavia. She enjoys traveling and camping and has attended three international camps in Scandinavia with the Girls Scouts of the U.S.A. Many teachers, both male and female, have tried their luck at various crafts. These include woodworking, weaving, hooking rugs, and serving. The blizzard of ' 78 brought a new hobby to Mrs. Pat Bowdell — snowmobiling. She and her husband also ride motorcycles. Faculty members have widely varied hob- bies. So don ' t be surprised if you see your teacher busy with something other than your homework. 62 Faculty MR. ERROL WASHBURN, B.S.. M.A.: Industrial Arts, Drafting, Arch. Drawing.

Not a scary word in itself, but as those long awaited final days are counted down, jitters start to appear in the fourth- year student ' s stomach. For many, the col- lege decision looms near, and their whole life is ahead. This year ' s graduating class encoun- tered many new experiences each year. As freshmen they braved the student revolt after a pep session. Their second year was highlighted with the highest magazine sales record ever. Struggling through their junior year ' s blizzard filled many seniors ' minds. But, as the spring came, so did thoughts of the prom, Evergreen. Their senior year, with the largest graduating class, was filled with accumulating more memories of those four short years to last a lifetime. Expectations run high as Evan Pethtel and Dan ' ' oung check out one of the many features offered at the French Club initiation dinner. Contributions to the Industrial Arts ' charity can drive are made by Rochelle Anderson and Greg Clancy to help those in need at Christmas time. Jotting down notes during a Health Careers club meeting is member Amy Hoover, as she readies her- self for an area club meeting in Indianapolis. Even though seniors won ' t be around to enjoy the use of the new greenhouse.

Senior Honor Day 81 A look of surprise appears on the face of Mary Jo Warner as her name is announced for Prom queen. Admiration is expressed by Phil Roush, her escort. Just Friends provided a chance for couples to get close to each other. Junior Richard Allen and his date, Amie Kinser, take advantage of it. ' ' I ' TTTn; Following the yellow brick road to the queen s throne during the Grand March is queen candidate Lesa Glancy. being escorted by Gary Pinkerton. Homemade candles were a necessity for the Junior- Senior Prom, and committee persons Kim Gilland and Resa Boxell help to gel the job done. 82 Junior Informal Court: Dennis Leas escorts Sherri Bole: Leon Schmidt, Kelly Mcllert. Phil Roush, Mary Jo Warner: Kurt Hardlcy, Brcnda Rogers, and Gary Pinkerton, Lesa Clancy. Honorable mention is awarded to this water painting done by junior Brian McDonald. To prepare for the art exhibition, Bryan suspends the painting so it will be easily nsible. Juniors visited land of O A friendly game of basketball for juniors JeffStroup and John Polster is amusing for John, as he watches Jeff attempt a dunk. Prom work was the attraction that dominated the juniors ' attention through- out much of the year. Somewhere Over the Rainbow was selected as theme for the May 5 event. Bryan McDonald and Teresa Brown were Prom co-chairpersons. Just Friends was the band that provided the music for the Prom, at which Mary Jo Warner was crowned queen, and the Late Show provided entertainment for the after-prom. Cartoons were shown at the after-prom to give the dancers a short pe- riod of rest and relaxation, Kiwanis Club sponsored the after-prom and also con- ducted drawings for a T.V. and other prizes. Junior Lesa Glancy was the wiimer of the T.V. Homecoming was somewhat a letdown for juniors when they received second place on the float they entered in the con- test. However, it was no letdown for the junior Resa Boxell, who was chosen prin- cess of the Junior Class.

The Freshman Class joined in by going on a class skating party at Skate-Away. Around 100 freshman attended. Co-Sponsor Mrs. Doris Tyler said the event was a success, and she was pleased with student behavior. She al.so hopes these skating parties will continue, feeling that it was much more enjoyable than a class party. The Freshman Class was the largest one ever. Three-hundred Frosh were enrolled.

Superintendent, and Mrs. Judith Cook, new BHS cafeteria manager. Year of new programs New personnel were brought to the ad- ministration office along with new policies which were established during the year. Experimenting with unique projects kept personnel busy. The two new administrators hired this year were Dr. Joseph Wolfe, assistant su- perintendent, and Mr. Lonnie Adams, who holds a new position of director of special services. A new program that special services created was Grant-Blackford Special Ed. Co-op. This program set goals striving to meet the needs and demands of the handi- capped children. Administrators had ori- ginally hoped to hire two teachers that have specialized training in more than one area. They want to be able to cope with each child and his individual problem. The state-wide Basic Competency Test- ing Program was another project under way in county English Departments. This was to insure by state requirements that Blackford graduates would be competent in basic skills. Evaluation of all administrators was a new concept started by Supt. Couch. By evaluating all personnel, the importance of their jobs is stressed and each person could see where he excels and where there is room for improvement. Updating the Policy Manual was a sig- nificant job that the School Board tackled this year. The attendance policy was the biggest issue discussed. It was decided that 10 days unexcused absence per semester was the limited permitted.

Mrs. Jean Rhodes, the only new mem- ber of the secretarial staff, replaced Mrs. Rosalie Grove as a teacher aide in the duplicating room. Mrs. Grove transferred to the Reading Lab to assist Mrs. Karjala. In their spare time, most of the secre- taries enjoyed sewing. Other hobbies in- cluded reading and gardening. Mrs. Anna Cook golfed in her spare time. Mrs. Jackie Foust didn ' t find time for hobbies, as she was working toward her Masters Degree at Bail State. Mrs. Anita McCardle thought the best thing about working at BHS is that the Athletic Department nev- er had a dull moment. Coffee Time, a welcome break in the day, left time for Mrs. Vincent to brag about her grandchildren, Jenny, Tammy and Caleb, and for Mrs. Foust to remi- nisce about her summer trip to Florida. On break, Mrs. Ruth Pointus, assistant nurse, Mrs. Foust and Mrs. Grove examine art objects on display in tlie cafeteria hallway.

The nine custodians included three women and six men working on three shifts. Their headquarters was a small room on the southwest side of the building where their phone frequently rang to alert them to plugged up restroom drains, cold rooms or defective electrical appliances. Eight men and three women bus drivers maneuvered their yellow birds to pick up students twice daily. A few of them also managed to devote evenings and Satur- days to hauling special school groups. Eating in three shifts during the one and one-half hour lunch period, students passed before 16 cooks who smilingly dis- pensed their calories in the form of A lunches. Statiscally, their best month was September, when they served 21,288 lunches, given out in three separate lines depending on the appetite of the student.

ORGANIZATIONS When the final bell rings, many tired students go home to watch television or work at other jobs. The halls are quieter, at first glance. But look closely in the classrooms, cafeteria, or music rooms, and people will still be seen hard at work on some extra-curricular project they may never get credit for. After-school membership in a club does not mean all work. The fun of having pic- nics or football games goes along with an extra-curricular activity. One doesn ' t have to be limited to one group. Many express their interests by joining several organizations. One can decorate the halls for Sectional while also learning a script for a play. The many choices of organizations are open to all. 1 18 Organizations Division r .• - 4 Orgaaizadons Division 119 1 --y y ?a i A SYMPHONIC BAND: (Botlom Row Cindy John- son.

She sat sixth chair in Symphonic Band. Music was really in ' More discos were in operation and more records were being sold than ever before. Music was definitely in. Blackford had its own brand of music in the form of choirs and bands. Swinging and singing occurred everyday in Bruinland. Under the direction of Mr. Philip Turley, the choirs sang their hearts out to achieve perfection. Four choirs which resided at Blackford were the Freshman, Concert, Chorale, and Swing. When Christmas rolled around, the choirs recorded a tape containing Christ- mas songs which the radio station, WWHC, played during the Yuletide sea- son. The choirs also had a chance to come together with the seventh and eighth grade choirs from the Hartford City Junior High Above Right: Left, Right, Left. Right go the 150 some members of the Marching Band while perform- ing during halftime of a home football game. Adding to the success of open house by entertaining parents, students, and faculty is the Swing Choir accompanied by drums and piano. This group has 27 members. and the Montpelier Middle School for an evening of festivities. Instruments as well as voices were a part of the music scene. Five bands fulfilled Blackford ' s instrumental needs. These in- cluded the Marching, Pep, Stage, Concert, and Symphonic Bands. The Stage Band kept up with the times by playing selections from the hit movies, Grease and Sgt. Pepper ' s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Selling raffle tickets for a new television set to raise money for the trip planned for the spring of 1980 was one way the parents of the Band students became involved with Band activities. Harmony really came together when the choirs and bands performed in ' 78. 122 Music Activities For their nomination to McDonald ' s All-American Band, Mary Lewis and Libby Fread receive plaquet from Band Director William G.

The Voices of Music Magnificat, a 46-page Latin work, was performed by Chorale at the annual Sa- cred Concert at the Lutheran Church. This number was the highlight of the Con- cert, which also consisted of Concert Choir performing four numbers. For the first time this year, an encore performance of the concert was held at the Eaton Church of God. A new song was added to the show, an antiphonal hymn, featuring an echo. The annual Choral bake sale brought in over $700, breaking the previous year ' s mark of $500. The sale was aided by moth- ers of all Blackford choir students in high school and junior high, by preparing the goodies to sell.

A total of over 800 were sold. v ' fJjlliJ Pub joined work and fun News stories, newspaper and yearbook deadlines, photographs, interviews, cap- tions and copy, popcorn, cai es and cook- ies, drives, and football games were all a part of the ' 79 Publications year. Fund drives were sponsored to give money to poor families during Christmas by the selling of Christmas wishes and money for the Heart Fund was accumulat- ed by the selling of Valentine wishes. Annual yearbook subscription drives were held to lure the students to purchase their yearbooks. Homeroom of the Day award was given to the room which had sold the most orders that day. The ' 79 edition of the Reflections has more color than ever before, including the opening and the senior sections. Due to the largest budget ever for the book, the price was boosted $1 on its subscription. During the season of the Girls ' Basket- ball Sectionals a 12-page Sectional edition was printed covering all of the teams, facts, and statistics. This was a first for the paper. In photography, the darkroom was giv- en a treat. .Members of the photography staff gave the room a coat of flat black paint. Popcorn odor floated through the halls on occasions. Often someone would bring in some popcorn and everyone was in for a treat. For basketball games a guess of the score was taken and the winner was pre- sented a cake baked by a fellow Pub mem- ber. During the year all Pub and Journalism classes would get together to crown a new football champ in the annual Pub-Journal- ism football game. The winner this year was third-hour Publications. Coin matching became the ultimate decision maker as to who got the picture, newspaper or yearbook, as shown by editors Paul .Montgomery and Rhonda Smith.

Blackford Thespians, along with over 2,200 Thespians from all over the world, attended a week-long cele- bration at Ball State during the summer. During this week they attended many workshops and saw full-length plays pro- duced by fellow thespians at Emmens Auditorium. The Glass Menagerie, the fall play by Tennessee Williams, was concerned with the problems between a domineering mother, a rebellious son, and a crippled daughter. This was the first play Ms. Bar- bara Douglas, has directed at Blackford. The 25th anniversary- of Project Theater 100 and the 10th anniversary of Black- ford ' s Thespian troupe were celebrated with the reunion of former Blackford Thespians during the winter show. Bare- foot in the Park. Barefoot, a Neil Simon comedy, drew laughs from the audience as the lives of Corey and Paul Bratter. Moth- er Banks, Mr. Velasco, and a phone man become entwined. The philosophy and ex- periences of 19th centun. ' philosopher and poet Henry Thoreau were shown during the spring play The igbt Tboreau Spent in Jail. Drama 1 29 Most competitors ever With approximately 30 on the Speech Team and ten involved in Debate, these organizations had the most competitors ever at Blackford. More competitors led to more ribbons and trophies being won. During the speech team season, first-place awards went to Amy Sills for Tell Me You Love Me, Judy Moon and to Geoff Witt in radio. Blackford High is the scene of a Debate Meet, as Linda Tyler hands a ribbon to the four-man team — Kurt Speed. Kevin Wentz, Babette Spain, and Mary Wilson. This was the first year Ms. Barbara Doug- las was head coach. Along with many ribbons, the Debate Team also brought home two trophies dur- ing the year. The first home debate tour- nament at Blackford in five years was on the yearly debate calendar. The State De- bate Meet was another activity which kept the team busy. Best Novice Speech Team member award went to Frankie Wallace. Babette Spain won Best Varsity Debater and Best Varsity Speech Team member. Scheduling Speech Meets and knowing their dates were important. Coach Barbara Douglas and partici- pant Geoff Witt check the speech calendar. Research and filing are important parts of the De- bate Season and keep Victor Dodge and Kurt Speed busy in the library collecting information. 130 Speech Debate Speech cuttings required many long hours of hard work.

Women ' s Lib took stand in Council Maybe the White House wasn ' t ready for a woman president, but Blackford cer- tainly was. Brenda Hummer was the first female president of Student Council. Surveying cafeterias at other schools was one of the new projects which Student Council undertook. It also investigated the possibilities of going outside, release, or an open lunch hour. Good Vibrations of 1978 was chosen by tfte Council as the theme for Home- coming. It presided over the Homecoming lawn decoration. Ushering for open house was also on the Council ' s full agenda. A chance to relax during a hectic day was provided by the Student Council con- vocations. Music was one convo factor. The Sunshine Express, a group which played popular songs, danced, and sere- naded several viewers. John Tate, singer and guitar player, sang country-western songs from the 50 ' s and today ' s rock. When Christmas rolled around, the an- nual Christmas program was given. Visits from Santa Claus, alias Mr. Chuck Lori, brought the fun-loving Christmas spirit to Blackford. All in all. Student Council provided a break in the day and a chance to get to- gether with outsiders. 132 Student Council NHS added 23 members by candlelight Scholarship, character, leadership, and service — these are the four qualifications required to become a member of the Na- tional Honor Society. New members were chosen by teachers from a list provided. Each teacher filled out survey sheets on eligible students. A committee then tabulated the results, and the final selections were made. NHS initiated 23 new members at their annual initiation ceremony. Using the McDonald ' s theme, You! You ' re the one, Dr. Joseph Burnworth, Taylor Uni- versity, spoke to NHS members, initiates, and parents as well. NHS was active in one annual project, the Abraxas, a booklet of prose and poetry written by students. The Honor Society backed the publication financially as well as spending time on the completion of the literary magazine themselves. The organization operated under the colors of blue and gold, adhering to the motto, Noblesse Oblige (meaning the obligation of honorable, generous, and re- sponsible behavior associated with high rank on birth ), and featured the yellow rose as their official Hewer. Congratulations with a smile and a kiss are in store for National Honor Society initiate Res3 Boxell from her mother, Mrs. Penny Boxell.

The Homemak- ers adopted grandparents from nursing homes. During Christmas members went door to door of the elderly and sang songs of the Yuletide season. A Halloween party was held and new members were initiated. Knightstown was the location of a field trip in which members visited an orphan- age and viewed how it was operated. The big event of the year was the 1979 State Leadership Conference in April. The motto of the FHA was Dare to Be. At the conference several awards were cap- tured — the Honor Chapter Award and the Proficiency Event Award in the bronze division. Also, outstanding people were named, who included Penny Robinson, State Officer; Lynann Carens, Voting Del- egate; FHA Heroes: Niki Clark, Katrina Atkinson, Karin Randall, Kathleen Atkin- son, Debbie Adkins, Karen Pierson, Nar- lynn Dempsey, Mrs. Carolyn Dempsey, and Mrs. Pat Bowdell, advisor.

FFA had year of projects Future Farmers brought in over $600 last year in the fifth annual fruit sales campaign. Brenda Emshwiller sold 35 crates of fruit and was named high sales- person. This year $500 of the money was sent to the leadership camp, as it has been for the past five years. Mr. Norm Fogwell became this year ' s new FFA sponsor, replacing Mr. Robert Caley. He also taught Agriculture. The club also competed in area judging contests following a four-year lapse. They had a judging team with four members, one in livestock and others in the 4-H Fair. The club held a spring banquet in April and took field trips to various area farms. They scheduled a tent at the fair in Au- gust. FFA officers planned to attend the na- tional FFA convention at Kansas City in November. The greenhouse was to be- come available for planting items as well as other agriculture-related projects. Future Farmers 13 Awards and new classes topped year New art teachers, new art classes, and an exhibit of award-winning photographs highlighted the Art Club year. Mrs. Marlene Roth became the new full-time teacher due to the addition of the two new classes, Wheel Throwing and Ad- vanced Textiles. Prizes ranging from $20 to a $1000 Ko- dak Scholarship had a chance to be won by students. Students from seventh through twelfth grade were able to submit their photographs in the contest sponsored by Scholastic Magazine, Inc., and Eastman Kodak. Local winners in the contest were Carrie Norton, Janie Caperton, Steve Rogers, and Dave Hawkins. Art supplies, club trophies, and club parties were paid for by the annual Art Club candy sale. Members sold candy bars and assorted boxes of candy at school and at home. The event was co-sponsored by Distributive Education.

Giving to the needy was first rule Giving was the first rule of tlie Indus- trial Arts Club ' s year. Needy families were blessed by the club and the Hartford City Jaycees when a drive for canned foods at Thanksgiving was started. Stu- dents were asked to donate the cans, and later prizes were given to those who had donated four cans of food. Fun was also supplied for the members when a hockey game in Fort Wayne was attended by members of the club. The Fort Wayne Komets provided for the evening when they took on the Port Huron team. Chuck Ross was the top winner of the Industrial Arts ' crazy bowl. This annual activity was in the form of bowling the first game in regular style, and then lived up to the name by the last two games being bowled with rules made up by the mem- bers. Initiation into the organization was an experience for some. Ed Townsend, initi- ate, was blindfolded and put into the trunk of a car. then driven down to the cleat- house. Upon arri ina back, members found it difficult to get Ed out of the trunk. Finally, much to Ed s relief, an es- cape route was found. Industrial . n Club 13 BHS not exactly ' All American ' Festivals, banquets, and trips all came together as basic elements involved in the BHS language organizations — German Club, Latin Club, Spanish Club, and French Club. Deutscher Verein, German Club, made extensive revisions to the club con- stitution. Members also participated in many activities. At Christmas they adopt- ed German customs and became acquaint- ed with various crafts. They visited Ger- mantown, Indiana, an Austrian and Ger- man Music performance, and Oldenberg. They encountered German delicacies at Huntington ' s Heidelberg Restaurant. At a banquet for members and parents, an out- standing Deutscher Verein member was chosen and also a highest scholastic achiever in German. Two firsts were at the top of the list for Le Cerle Francais, French Club. One event was the summer trip to Europe, France, and Switzerland. To help earn money for the trip, hot chocolate and cookies were sold at two football games, and dances were held for the students ' benefits. Another first was the Foreign Language Festival involving French, Spanish, and German Clubs. In the spring a combined French Club meeting was held with Eastbrook. Club members were also treated to French dishes at a Christmas carry-in party. Spanish Club was also involved in spon- soring a foreign language festival. Mem- bers attended a Ballet Folklories in Octo- ber. They also took a trip to Mexico. Latin Club was still alive and active. Its main activity was a Christm as party at which the formal initiation and the annual gag gift exchange took place. Other activi- ties included a visit to the Little Italy Res- taurant, a swimming party, and a picnic party. Even though each of these clubs studied a different language, they all contributed to bring culture to the school. GERMAN CLUB: (Bottom Row) Tina Yount (pres.). Joe Leeth (vice pres.).

Christmas time was also party time, with members celebrating the Yuletide with a gift exchange. Training for the officers was accom- plished at the Sheraton Hotel. Goals were also a must for members, as they worked toward the executive states- man, diplomat, and ambassador awards. These were received when members re- ceived points for their help in involvement in community leadership projects.

This was a school store which oper- ated from the old paperback book store and sold such items as Bruin souvenirs, shirts, and candy. It was the first such store in existence at Blackford. Profits from the store went to the Muscular Dis- trophy Association and open-heart surgery for a previous DE member. This was one moneymaking project; another was the an- nual candy sales. Besides making money, members also had fun spending it. Social events included dances, parties, and the annual Employer- Employee Recognition and Awards Ban- quet. Parties were also a big part of DEC.

Projects of two clubs mixed fun and facts Two of the smaller but active clubs at Blackford were the Library and the Health Careers Club. National Library Week was celebrated at Blackford by having club members and other students dress specially on days such as Crazy Day. Members also contributed to a part of the Library Club ' s year with Christmas and Halloween parties, both well attended. With 18 members in the club, the rela- tively new Health Careers Club participat- ed in their own major activities. Visiting Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie was one such event. While there they heard speakers talk about their lines of work. This program was sponsored by Blackford-Delaware Medical Auxiliary. Members also visited Butler University in Indianapolis for a Health-Career relat- ed workshop. They listened to profession- als in their specific fields of interest. This trip was sponsored by the Indiana Health Career Club state organization. 142 Library Health Careers Clubs Greenhouse major project Science Club started its year off by sell- ing popcorn as the group ' s traditional money-making project. Science Club donated $1200 to the new greenhouse. With the construction of the new building, club members were able to raise more money by selling tomato plants to the community. Son of Jaws, movie written and pro- duced by the club ' s president, Paul Mont- gomery, was one of the features at the annual spaghetti supper. May was the close for Science Clubbers, as they took their annual trip to Chicago. Mrs. Beverly Valencic summed up the year, The new greenhouse and the events were fantastic. Hey! Would you like to buy some popcorn? seems to be what Science Club member Beth Eppard is saying as the camera catches her by surprise.

Dance winners were Bry- an Maddox and junior Julie Bailey. Best dressed were Mike Tarr and Lesa Glancy. Booster Club also is active in electing cheerleaders. They also have a part in helping plan the , ep sessions. In the fall many of the girls get a chance to ask the guys to the Sadie Hawkins dance.

Penny pushing was part of Initiation Excuse me, but could I have your sig- nature? Yeah, sure, if you push this penny across the gym floor with your nose. This quote, and others like it, are often heard during initiation time for Letter- men. Initiation starts Monday after the winter sports banquet, and lasts through Wednesday. Getting signatures from girls and established Lettermen, dressing up on Wednesday, and going through initiation on Wednesday night are procedures for becoming a Lettermen. Services provided by Lettermen includ- ed ushering at home football and basket- ball games. To be eligible for the club, a student must have earned a letter in a sport. The letters are presented at the win- ter sports banquet, and those persons re- ceiving are then elgible. This year saw more initiates than ever before. Officers for the club were Leon Schmidt, president; Brian West, vice president; Joe Leeth, initiation chairman, and Greg Glancy, secretary-treasurer. Sponsor of the club was .Mr. Craig .Moore.

Cheerleaders ' spirit put pep in crowds Award winning cheerleaders, spirited Pep Club members, and after-the-game dances proved tiiat the Bruins were just a-gettin ' it! During the summer the JV and Varsity cheerleaders reached their goal to bring home several awards from summmer camps. Varsity cheerleaders attended the Unit- ed States Cheerleaders Association camp at Western Michigan University. The squad was picked in the top 10 and re- ceived several other awards as well. Out of over 300 cheerleaders in attendance, four individual awards were awarded to Black- ford. Doug Myers received fourth place; Dave Case, fifth; Julie Bailey, sixth; and a special talent award was presented to Phoebe Zigler. Several blue and red rib- bons also were won. Not only the Varsity squad was busy during the summer, but also the Junior Varsity. The JV attended the Dynamics Cheerleaders Association at the Valpar- aiso University. Four superior ribbons and one super-squad award were obtained by the Cub group. With the girls ' Pep Club members in white shirts, the boys ' Pep Club members dressed in red, white, and black shirts, and the Pep Band in red, the Bruin colors were in attendance at every game. Other arti- cles of clothing which colored the basket- ball games were the grain hats which both the girls and boys ' Pep Clubs wore. Whether the Bruins won or lost, after- the-game dances, sponsored by the cheer- leaders, always had a good turn out. Though live bands sometimes played at these dances, a disc-jockey from the Lite- house, a disco in Warren, seemed more popular. The wins and the losses throughout the year in sports would not have been the same without the cheerleaders, fans, and the Pep Block coming together to exper- ience the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

Although not on the floor, Leon Schmidt gives his best to back someone else on the mats during a wrestling meet. SPORTS The value of that extra push that comes from inside wasn ' t fully realized until it was experienced in actual athletic play. It was the combining of such determination, strength and energy resulting when the mind and body worked together that pro- duced even unexpected improvement. A dedicated coach who spent more time than was called for to improve each player often would make the difference between athletic participation being a tedious task and a really worthwhile experience. Some generous teachers became coaches volun- tarily to fill the needs when an unexpected vacancy demanded a sudden replacement. Coaches built individuals into a team. The school spirit also backed the sport. Fans supported teams and individuals even during rough weather. Not only players, coaches and students participated. In- stead, sports were a total community event. 148 Sports Division i L M Sports Di%Tsion 149 On the sweep in the Wabash game, Brian West picks up some more yardage.

Many players were given a chance to carry the ball, but Mike Bryant, Brian West, and Joe Schmidt led the Bruin rush- ers with 1,013, 522, and 355 yards, respec- tively. Defense was superb as the Bad News Bears broke the school record by holding their opponents to 1,623 yards. Joe Leeth and Todd Boise led in tackles with 136 and 95, respectively. Evan Pethtel broke the school record with six interceptions, and Leeth ' s 136 tackles also broke the old school record. Kicking seven extra points in a row in the last four games, Todd Guyer made 15 of his 19 tries. The Bruins ended the season fourth in the CIC with a record of 3-3. Their losses were to fourth-ranked Peru, eighth-ranked Elwood, and Madison-Grant. Coach Lori said their most exciting games included Peru, because it was Homecoming and the Brui ns almost beat them; Alexandria, because it was BHS ' s last conference win of the season and it was 14-6 in the middle of the third quarter but the Bruins ended up winning 28-12; and Huntington North, because it was close all the way, and the win gave BHS a .500 season. Out for a pass offensive end Lance Deffenbaugh is illegally interfered with. Eighth-ranked Elwood went on to defeat the Bruins, 17-0. 150 Varsity Football Coming out as a senior after a two-year absence, Evan Pcthtel contributed greatly to the Bruin de- fense.

The Band participated by marching at every home football game. At the last home game the junior high school bands joined them. Boy cheerleaders were added as a part of the football cheering squad, along with the traditional Brute and female counter- parts. But the most important participants were the players and ever-present coach- ing staff. This year the Bruin coaching staff was joined by new Head Coach Chuck Lori, whose enthusiasm brought more spirit to the normally unenthusiastic pep sessions. The not particularly pleasant season, caused by the disappointing close losses to tough teams such as eighth-ranked El- wood and fourth ranked Peru in the Homecoming game, were balanced only by the last game against Huntington, which brought the Bruins up to a 50% season and also gave a final victory for the seniors. About the seniors, Coach Lori stated, They gave us excellent leadership and were a lot of fun for me to coach. Above: Performing at every home football game was the Band.

Cubs have best fall record They did absolutely great for the amount of practice they had together, stated JV Coach Dan Seymour. The Cubs ended the year with an impressive 7-2 re- cord for the season. Leading the Cubs on offense were soph- omore running back Marty Clock and Bill Sutton. Quarterback Kevin Rench was also a Cub standout at his field general position the entire year. The only losses of the year dealt to the Cubs were against Marion and Elwood. The Marion game was the first loss in four starts, as the Little Giants squeezed by the Cubs 14-7 on a fourth quarter touchdown. Elwood was a little tougher, as they downed the Cubs 27-14. The most impressive win of the season for the junior varsity gridders came against Delta. We completely shut them off! exclaimed Coach Seymour after the Cubs trounced the Eagles 24-0. The Cubs also had another shutout in their first game of the season against Anderson Madison-Heights by a score of 6-0. The Cubs ended their season with a 21- 18 victory over South Adams. Sutton had his best game of the year, as he had over 100 yards rushing and scored touchdowns of 50 and 12 yards. In most of the games, they played on 90% emotion and 10% ability, mentioned Coach Seymour. On the whole, it was a real fine year. The Freshmen Teddybears had the simi- lar record as the JV, only reversed. The frosh ended with a 2-5 season mark by winning their last two games of the season against Marion and Tipton. The frosh totaled 1374 yards on the year, 908 via the rush and 446 by the pass. Dave Whitesell and John Twibell led the team on the ground with 296 and 293 yards, respectively. This year ' s passing game was the best we have had, stated Coach Craig Moore. Led by quarterbacks Steve Strine and Alan Townsend, the Ted- dybears completed 71% of their passes. On defense the frosh were led by Jim Sharp, who piled up 81 tackles on the year, 16 solo and 65 assists. Mike Ludwig also had 37 tackles. The Teddybears, although improving near the end, were still outscored by their opponents 76-142. S JV FOOTBALL SQUAD: (Bottom Row) Todd ker, Kevin Rench. Larry Williams. Don Mitchell. Guyer.

Gregg ' s performance was great in 1978, and he should be one of Indiana ' s premier runners in 1979, stated harri- er Coach Chris Coy of Osborn. As a team, our lack of experience hurt us early while illness and injuries cost us toward the season ' s end, sum- marized Coach Coy. In addition to dual meets. Bruin run- ners competed in six Invitationals, fin- ishing fourth out of eight teams at both Huntington and Yorktown, and fifth out of seven, at Tipton constituting their highest finishes. Blackford was also ninth out of 24 teams at the Sec- tional and Central Indiana Conference runners-up. Junior varsity harriers posted a 6-1 dual meet season with victories over Bluffton, Elwood, Fort Wayne Wayne, Jay County, South Adams, and Tipton.

Coach Mick Clay summarized: Doug Mill, sophomore, was the No. 1 single man all year, and, if he continues hard work, he should be No. 1 again. He also comment- ed, Biff Wilson, senior, consistently pro- vided leadership throughout the year and was the most complete player on the team. Tod Cain, senior, after a slow start, was probably the best game person of anyone on the team by the end of the season. Robyn Richman, sophomore, only girl to play BHS varsity tennis, had a record of 2-9 singles and 0-2 doubles, with Elwood being her first win. She is fundamentally the best player in the team, stated Coach Clay. The coach was pleased with attitude and desire of most of the team. The rebuild- ing year (Sectional team of four seniors and five sophomores) was somewhat dis- appointing. There were a couple of match- es we should maybe have won, and in some others we should have been a little more competitive. ■ Ja wi .1.1- _ . iji ' J Leaping through the air to return the volley is sopho- more Doug Mills.

They have earned 12 and 13, rapectively. Always give 120% in everything you do and always be yourself is Lynn Lefevre ' s philosophy. Lynn is the first athlete ever to earn 12 varsity letters in athletic competition. Lynn earned four let- ters each for volleyball, basketball, and track. She has made all-section- al in all three and was named third team all-state in basketball. Lynn has broken 17 school re- cords, six in volleyball, eight in bas- ketball, and three in track. The first girl ever to win a state championship at Blackford in IH- SAA competition is Phoebe Zigler. Phoebe has earned 13 varsity let- ters.

Regular season victories for the Bruin watermen came against South Adams, Anderson Highland, Eastern, Manchester, Hamilton Southeastern, Huntington North, Muncie South, Bluffton, Delta, and Madison Heights. Diver Brad McConnell was undefeated (17-0) during the regular season; but at sectional, a technicality on one of his dives prohibited the sophomore from competing at the state meet. Coach Brian Hay said the season was definitely successful, pointing to the team ' s best dual meet record ever, a fourth-place sectional finish and the new school records which were set. Coach Hay also mentioned stagnating times during the last third of the season were caused by a BHS pool problem which limited prac- tice time.

This might be heard from one of the pep blocks during a sports event. Many stu- dents participated in yelling together, dressing uniformly to make the pep block what it was. The 100-member pep block effectively backed the teams and also gave not only the other students enthusiams to yell, but the adult fans as well. Besides attending home games, the pep block often attended the away CIC games to back their Bruins. The blocks wore off-white shirts with Blackford Bruins lettered in red. Brute (Bryon Maddox) also obtained a new uni- form. Bat girls supported the baseball team by doing their specified jobs. Keeping score at the ballgames and picking up the bats were just two of the many duties per- formed. Mat Maids experienced a first this year, as they got to ride along with guys for away wrestling matches. They also contri- buted by cleaning the mats, giving out rib- bons, and keeping score and stats. MAT MAIDS: (Bottom Row) J. Reff, B. Walker, L. Wagner, C. Dilly. (Row 2) R. Deffenbaugh, S.

That last time to hear that one boring lecture. Handing all those books in and moving on to summer. Some endings are sad. That special teacher who waves. Not classmates any- more. Maybe never. No more hooking out at lunch with friends or jiving the teacher whom one always got the best of. Eventually, all endings come, whether we want them or not.

Not all endings are final, because they bring the beginnings of many opportuni- ties. Not that the future is easy, but it is challenging. For most, the future is still coming to- gether at Blackford.
