We are beginning to see our places in this endless search for knowledge. As teenagers we are eager to learn, yet reluctant to work at it; curious to know, yet satisfied with not knowing. Ours is a search of starts and stops, stumbles and finally, progress. The classroom brings togelher many kinds of people—all hard at work. Looking a little closer at the individuals in this classroom, we see . . . . . . the dreamer. Zoe Gene Verhage is off in another world—thinking, obviously, of something other than her studies. . . . the girl watcher. Dennis Day isn't a clock watcher—but he doesn't waste a great deal of time —especially with girls like Vicki Hahn in his class. . . . the doodler. Doodling is to some as girl watching is to others. Bill Goetzinger seems to be an expert doodler. . . . and finally, the student. Nothing seems to take John Mannanioni's mind from his studies. Here's a boy with a future! Actually, we learn just about the same things Grandma learned. 15 0 0 0 Mr. Lawrence uses an oral approach in his Spanish I class as his students listen and then pronounce. The purpose of readin' today is more than acquainting us with the best literature of the past and present and, Pygmalion-like, to train us to write and speak the king's English passing fair; there is an ever-growing need for young people who can speak and write the languages of our neighbors around the world. Just as history teaches of things past to make things present more understandable, foreign languages show us the cultural background of a people so that we can better appreciate them and make the right decisions for the future when it becomes our turn. Mrs. Hannum takes Spanish I students Bob Sahlin, Sheldon Schecter, and Jere Pocock to Spanish-speaking Mexico via the souvenirs she collected on her travels during the past summer. This is history class in election year and from the expression on Karma Smith's face, Paul Patterson and Al Gruetzmacher are of the opposite political party; at election time any evidence is okay to use if it proves a point. Pat Herlocker, Pat Farley, and Ross Roeser use sound effects in the radio script they have written in speech class. Typing student, Linda Grenier, works for speed and accuracy during a typing drill. One of the biggest changes since Grandma went to school is the way we write. Several lines of longhand script can be compressed very nicely in a few curly lines and fancy swirls. A long theme or business letter is turned into an immaculate, easy-to-read typewritten page in a short while. Secretaries of the future are trained at Bremen in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and in the use of office machinery. Miss Smith dictates shorthand to Marlene Vahl, Susan Marbach, Judy Krygowski, and Lee Iverson, who then transcribe their shorthand into neatly typewritten business letters. tUtcL TR.tt UH€tcC Trigonometry students Sam Johnson, John Ragsdale, Sue Hollub, George Annen, Parker Rosenquist, and Bernie Shaw work outdoors measuring the height of the flagpole with a transit, which is an instrument used in surveying work by engineers. Mathematics is a basic knowledge for physics. A group of Mr. Cordero's physics students, Mauryeen Philippo, Jack Riback, Charles Albright, Melvin Wille, and Richard Wille, use Boyle's law apparatus to determine the relationship between pressure and volume in gases. “TO icA. eeuU tc Scientific dlculatioHC Suc6 an , , , Using a vacuum pump to reduce the pressure in the bell jar, physics students Dave Walker, Don Uthe, and Eddie Moy watch the balloon expand as the pressure inside the balloon becomes greater than the pressure outside. Chemistry opens the door to understanding the nature of matter and thus of the universe. Beginning chemistry students Sherrie Kistner and Bob Deske use a distillation process to obtain pure oxygen while Mr. Thies stands by to offer suggestions. . . . Biology class doesn't involve cutting on things every day. With Miss Larsen's help biology students Bill Burfiend, Ann Buckley, Mike Schultz, and Carol Calza are enjoying a class out-of-doors while collecting leaves for botany study. Our science department is boasting a brand new physics lab complete with an electronics panel which enables each lab unit to have the exact number of voltage and the type of current that is needed for a certain project. Besides physics, Bremen's science program includes general science, which is an introduction to all phases of science; biology, which presents both botany and zoology for study; chemistry; and senior science, which is a descriptive physics course involving very little math. Mr. Hawtrey examines Stanley Alfield's illustration of the microscopic slide with an experienced eye. Diane Larimer is still busy finding the right little wig-gly lines to draw. 0Wtt a cute 0 The choral department at Bremen under the direction of Miss Ruth Schmidt, performs at a Christmas concert and a spring concert, plus various minor appearances during the school year. Miss Schmidt here rehearses with the boys' chorus for the Christmas concert. Mr. Hollingsworth directs a marching band, a sub-varsity band and several smaller groups such as the jazz band. Here Bob De Young, Ken Figured, Carol Ball, and Dennis Johnson record a selection they have been preparing under Mr. Hollingsworth's direction. 22 Dan Daugherty, Bill Proctor, Tom Dresser, and Dennis Robinson are watching a dynalevel, which responds to sound volume with flashing, multicolored lights. 4(td a 'ityicfancf, Stic The plans for anything that is well made must be laid out on a drawing board and drafted to a blueprint before the construction begins. Freshmen drafting here are Chuck Grande, Joe Bard, Dan Brigham, Jack Chapman, and Ron Christionson. Any well-made article brings pride to the maker and joy to the receiver. Good craftsmen are trained in Bremen's various shops. A boy may enroll in drafting, wood shop, metal shop, electric shop, or auto shop. Teaching boys the correct way to use tools is one of the objectives of shop classes. David Soliday and John Richardson are adjusting a distributor on a scope in auto shop. Jack Uthe and Pete Warsyalek have chosen the right wood, the right tools, and are ready for the right finish to put on Pete's coffee table. Cheryl Snedden finds a tracer wheel a handy tool for her sewing projects in home economics class. TVe StcU 'ftycHAC OcVl 2ccee t i t , , , Baking a pie is truly an art, but Miss Downing, home economics teacher, knows all the secrets. Soon her students will, too—for first they watch and then they do. Jim Vitale is one of the many students who have come to appreciate and enjoy the work of the arts and crafts classes. Some samples of their efforts, such as these paper mache animals, were displayed during American Art Week in a small art show. T e 'D'uuv o t SCate z td 'Vcut Reproductions of the masters are studied by Barbara Bowes—who looks like a real art critic. A selection of art work was hung above the faculty mail boxes to be enjoyed by teachers like Miss Frede. This is a behind-the-scenes shot of artists hard at work. Mr. Madura has some helpful advice for Annette Staley, Robert Caldwell, and Carl Zangerl. 'KtcU 0 0 0 The girls in Miss Gunderson's sixth hour gym class are getting ready to put the ball into play during a field hockey game. Lena Cope, Dori Anne Boike, Pat Anderson, Bonnie Hogue, and Diana Williams are ready to receive a bully from Barbara Bowes and Judy Harris. Depicting emotions through movement in modern dance class are Cheryl Steinmetz, Karma Smith, Karen Ruben, Kathy Van Dam, Laurie Fell, Mary Lou Van Gorden, Sandie Stephens, and Zoe Gene Verhage. “7 e £ te cutted 'fyazra Long after the curtain has descended on the last act, after the houselights are out and the theatre is empty, glimpses of unforgettable scenes will flash back into our memories. We'll remember the banquet scenes, the fashion shows, and the times we played bit parts in a ball room scene. These are the years full of pizza and pop, gym-jams and swims, potato chips and hot dogs, concerts and plays, sock hops and slumber parties, ball games and proms. These are the enchanted years. G. A. A. was the busiest of organizations. It was responsible for the cafeteria and court decorations. Thanks to G.A.A.'ers like Audrey Nielsen, Peggy Fierke, and Carolyn Clark their efforts were a tremendous success. Weeks of practicing and planning, rushing to meetings and painting decorations . . . yelling ourselves hoarse at the pep session and game . . . dancing till midnight. . . and a host of wonderful memories. This was $60 For one whole week these Braves danced all kinds of circles around a Lincoln Way Knight. Nancy Fulton and Judy Cusic seem to anticipate their real-life counterparts doing the same thing Saturday afternoon. Gail Veasman and Harry Van De North agree that stuffed animal day was one of the highlights of Homecoming week. Each seems to have his own taste in a stuffed animal. 30 Vickie Hahn eloquently defends the principles of the L.B.C.B.T.B.A. (Let's Bring Culture Back to Bremen Association). Perhaps her audience is looking amused because they didn't realize it had left. A funeral procession always lends a serious note, even to Homecoming assembly. Only the pall bearers, John Ragsdale, Chip Donnely, Norman Ertman, and Bob Newsome, the cross bearer, Paul Patterson, and the flower bearer, Parker Rosenquist, knew the contents of their mysterious burden. Vicki's fellow l.B.C.B.T.B.A.'ers, Carol Johnson, Wanda Funk, Carlinda Roeser, Charlene Okerlund, and Chris Persson, emphasize Vicki's speech with a very talented performance asking the team (in a refined way, of course) to Beat those Knights ! With a spirited cheer frosh-soph cheerleaders Carol Zaremba and Janet Butzer add to -the Homecoming excitement, which was at fever-pitch as the assembly got underway. Surprise! Andy Postlewaite proved to be the Lincoln Way Knight in pretty bad shape after his encounter with the Braves. Varsity cheerleader Gail Veasman breaks the Go Braves' sign and leads the Braves through the victory hoop. Waiting for the team is almost as exciting as watching them play. Carol Zaremba, Jan Butzer and the band expect the Braves to come onto the field at any moment. Rich Norbut is blocked as he scampers toward a Bremen goal. 32 Mr. Ewing doubles as a cheerleader during a moment of elation. Perhaps Mr. Callan has learned not to be an optimist before the final whistle. Our precision marching band puts on a fine display during half-time. Phil Tunstall halts a Knight touchdown run as Chuck Albright, Fred Cornish, and Jan Curley arrive on the scene a bit too late to help. I 2uee t Her Majesty Sue Gresens was chosen queen of Bremen's 1960 Homecoming. It was an exciting reign for the vivacious, blond senior. As varsity cheerleader she helped stir the Braves on during the game, and from a sleek convertible she greeted her subjects during the half-time festivities. The highlight- of the dance came when Sue, on the arm of escort Rich Norbut, walked to the stage through the aisle made by her subjects, was crowned by 1959's queen, Pat Jungles, and began the queen's dance. Petite Cheryl Gardner has been active in school activities since her freshman year. Besides being freshman class president and a student council senator, she has been our school mascot, Little Joe , for the last two years. With her sparkling smile and personality, Cheryl will no doubt be successful in the business career she is planning. Pat Hoeltgen, popular senior, made a stunning princess in Her Majesty's Court. Pat has been class secretary for the past two years and plans to further her education in secretarial science. Carole Stader has won many friends since entering Bremen four years ago. Among other things, she has taken an active interest in student council. Carole plans to begin nurses' training at Evanston Hospital next fall. Mary Ellul, a Bremen cheerleader for two years, was a beautiful princess in the Homecoming court, probably one of the most memorable events in her high school years. 35 Returning alums are the purpose of Homecoming. Alum Sandy Merrill and her escort sign the guest register while Mr. McBain welcomes them home. Like all girls, Vicki Hahn knows that part of the specialness of Homecoming is a beautiful corsage from a special date like Gary Williams. Friendly conversation is very much in order at the Homecoming dance, agree Eddie Moy and Sharon Tattum. Alums and students alike enjoy the dancing. Miss Gunderson gives Carol Stader and Vern Sloan last-minute advice while Carol nervously waits for the coronation of the queen and her court to begin. The Alum Tree was a major attraction for students and grads alike. Sue Koski has her heart set on a leaf souvenir while Tom Diehl, Mary Jane Bruggink, and Mike McPherrin watch to see if she succeeds. T utce Approving smiles are given to Cheryl Gardner, including that of her escort, Jerry Miller. The queen and her lovely court—Pat Hoeltgen, Carol Stader, Queen Sue Gresens, Mary Ellul, and Cheryl Gardner. tyeonye SCeftt 'Ztene 4 Wet' . , , S zcy£ SowufMte With the purchase of an old, shanty-like farmhouse, supposedly the house our first President visited, the lives of several people are thrown into a circle of mad, merry predicaments. Anabelle Fuller, for instance, uproariously tries to be the good wife and mother and add a woman's touch to a house with no washroom, no running water, no closets, a dry well, and a road that washes away at the slightest rainfall. To complicate matters further, her zany husband, Newton, who always means well, and the caretaker, Mr. Kimber, seem to differ in their ideas about the upkeep of the farm. The Fullers and everyone concerned become attached to the place; and when $5,000.00 is needed to pay the mortgage, they attempt to butter up rich old Uncle Stanley, who we later find out hasn't a dime to his name. The farm is almost lost to their crotchety neighbor, Mrs. Prescott, but Uncle Stanley is the hero of the year as he returns to save the farm. Just when all seems well, word comes that a hurricane is heading straight toward the house—the house that George Washington not only never slept in, but never came near!

Kathy Rieke needs a skillful hand to give that professional look to Carole Malone. In the background Gwynne Cade begins her make-up base in preparation for the big moment . Oh, no, not another story! Uncle Stanley has a decided knack for telling the same story over, and over, and over, and . . . A lot of work by members of the Art II classes went into the beautiful nativity sillhouette. The cafeteria was dazzling in green, gold, and white—the color scheme of 1960's Christmas decorations. Soo«t Many Bremenites commented on the store-bought poinsettias which lent a truly professional touch to the decorations. Much to everyone's surprise the poinsettias are handmade from paper, wire, and Christmas tree balls. A heavenly effect was made Dy these green, gold, and white three-dimensional angels which were invisibly suspended on the cafeteria walls. This madonna and child mounted on a gold star were perfect background for the carols played during lunch periods. 40 A view of one well and a portion of the ceiling decorations reveal a great deal of creativity and industry. Considering that the doors, windows, the entire ceiling, and all the walls were decorated, the project was stupendous! Every little boy loves a Christmas tree! A freshly-cut pine with its shiny ornaments, colored lights, and strands of tinsel delights every tiny heart with the promise that Santa will be coming soon. Big boys like Jack Landis like Christmas trees, too—or is it what's under the tree that they like? 41 As the four choirs joined in the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah for a stirring finale, a creche tableau was lighted in the darkened auditorium. Shepherds from their fields and wise men from afar approached bearing gifts for the Holy Infant. 76e e 02Oene in Ote 4ifi To usher in the Christmas Season Bremen's four choral groups, the mixed octette, and selected members of the band presented a program of Christmas music—carols written long ago in praise of Christ's birth; festive songs of modern date extending messages of joy and good will; and, finally, the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah. 42 Carols old and new filled the listeners with a Christmas spirit. Anticipation and anxiety in the nature of comments like, I'm scared! and Does my hair look all right? ran rampant as the Advanced Mixed Chorus waited those last few seconds before curtain time. The Christmas concert was the debut of the Boys' Glee Club. Their first appearance was enjoyed by all. The Advanced Mixed Chorus, Advanced Girls' Chorus, Freshman Girls' Chorus, and the Boys' Glee Club are all under the direction of Miss Ruth Schmidt. She is most deserving of our praise and applause for the music she gives us. Ron Holder and Diane Knudsen try the sleigh out for size as John McKinnon, Gene Verhage, and Jack Hille look on. If Kenny Asbridge just knew that only half of Carlinda Roeser's smile is because of his company—the other half is because it feels so-o-o-o good to give her toes a little rest. The fat snowman in the center of the dance floor gets the admiration of Bill Tindall, Betty Watkins, Donna Lovrich, and Bob Thomas. _____ Alums Jim Randolph and Carolyn Sorn make the Christmas dance seem like Homecoming as they chat with the chaperones, Mr. Arnold and Miss 44 It's an enchanted evening for Carol Johnson, Dan Ketelboeter, Sharon Hill, and Ross Roeser. It's fun to build a snowman this way—and warmer, too, agree Sandy Krecioch, Jeff Ludwa, Terry Powers, and Sylvia Ketel. Vernie Rezepa and Barney Kuznieski look as if they're “walkin'' in a winter wonderland' for real. A MIDNIGHT SLEIGHRIDE The Girls' Club took all attending on a Midnight Sleighride at their annual holiday ball, which heralded both the coming of Christmas and the beginning of vacation. “For me? says Amber Aimers to date Bill VanderVeen. “They're just my very favorite kind. F.H.A.'ers took time out from preparing to be good homemakers to enjoy being typical teenagers. The F.H.A. Slumber Party was all pop, potato chips, games, gossip, and funl Janet Fortner, Pat Beeson, Marilyn Goryowski, Cheryl Davis, and Paula Nardoni are just a few of the many merry-makers. As you can see, everyone and his dog were there! We 'rtytut ?u t (lu t Miss Rhoda and Mrs. Mattsey are glad that they have such tidy homcmakers-to-be in their charge. They retained an optimistic attitude, however, and—sure enough—they found their things as soon as the girls had claimed theirs. Math test, games, dances, spring vacation, boys . . . there's just so much to talk about that slumbering is overlooked by Janet Fortner, Pat Beeson, and Cheryl Davis. There were all sorts of activities designed to tire out these livewires. One of these was a hot game of table tennis with Sue Bauer and Carol Cebulski on the winning side. 46 Jump! is the cry as two basketball players go up for the ball in an exciting basketball game. Freshman and sophomore girls—or are they ballet dancers—strike an arabesque pose—or is it a pirouette—in a hotly-contested volleyball game. ‘Panties 'Kept Tfo “Su t Cheryl Anderson keeps refreshment trays filled as Janice Scholz and Irene Decker help themselves to punch and cookies during a slight lull in activity. Rick Wheaton lets loose with a skillful shot in his shuffleboard game at the freshman-sophomore gym-jam. Female type stag line or a coke break between athletic contests? The answer is known by only those who attended the party. 47 'ytytve SaCC Starts The coming of B-Hive Ball is spring is upon us. The turned to their history the Roaring Twenties in order cess.

From left to right are August Lofendo, JoAnn Shanesy, Judy Anderson, John Lyle, Robin Ferris, and Sharon Tattum. 48 Admiration and expectation beam on the faces in the crowd as they await the announcing of their new queen. The 100 isn't authentic, but who cares when the brew is drawn by girls like Donna Czadek and Cheryl Molinero. History repeats itself as specially imported hostesses Jerri Pocock and Gail Gruetzmacher laugh with Lynda Graham over their then and now dresses. could prove Faculty members and their wives were permitted to attend only if they that they weren't around during the 20's. (No one was disqualified!) The history books didn't say whether or not they did the grand march in the 20's, but the lettermen decided not to get technical and enjoyed it regardless.

Oh, you beautiful dolls! But there are two real live dolls in this pose: Sandra McPherson and Karen Donohue. Can you find them? 49 Stony z tZueeK ee For every hive there must be a Queen Bee, and the B-Hive Ball is no exception. For every queen there is a court, and a crown, and a wonderful story behind it all. Onc6 upon a time there were five lovely princesses chosen by lettermen from the B-Club, but it was too hard for them to narrow it down to one. So they took the easy way out: they let the dance attenders vote on the backs of their tickets. Choosing between Jeannette Anderson and Mary Ellul is a mighty hard task while . . . Pat Hoeltgen and Gail Veasman made the choice even more difficult. Another little princess, Cheryl Gardner, also received a few votes. And here she is . . . the little one with the most votes. Lynn Lehmann, 1960 Queen Bee, crowns her majesty with a tiara of fresh spring flowers. Having a bit of trouble juggling her crown, her bouquet of red roses, and her 1961 banner, Cheryl Gardner prepares to greet her subjects like true royalty. 50 The Queen and her court: Jeannett Anderson, Mary Ellul, 1961 Queen Lynn Lehmann, Her Majesty Cheryl Gardner, Pat Hoeltgen, and Gail Veasman. With a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eye, Queen Cheryl makes a pretty queen to take a pretty picture. As president of the B-Club, John Ragsdale introduces Queen Cheryl to the rest of the hive. Still bubbling with joy, Cheryl thanked her subjects. 51 SeHcwid 'TfCcdceo C Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court was dusted off and polished up by the class of '61 for their spring play. The costume farce was, as usual, a smashing success. Humorous in a scientific (?) way, the action shows the audience what happens when a nonchalant young Yankee, Hank, touches a live wire while tinkering with his radio. During his short period of unconsciousness (60 seconds, to be exact) the activity moves at the speed of summer lightning. Hank is taken back to the court of King Arthur, where he is not very welcome. In the chain of events which follow he escapes execution by taking advantage of a natural phenomenon: an eclipse. Having gained the respect and confidence of the court. Hank proceeds to modernize his new habitat by organizing soap and tooth brush factories and a football team of knights. He also unites the kingdom and restores peace among the court rivalries. As suddenly as he was knocked out. Hank is revived by his mother and sister. The moral of the story is this: the people of King Arthur's day were no different from the people of today. Diane Arkin and John Montgomery rehearse a scene in which they, as the scheming Morgan Le Fay and Merlin, plot to take over King Arthur's castle. Chip Donnelly as Sir Sagamor is tricked into grabbing a live wire by Elaine, played by Sylvia Ketel, one of the court secretaries. Rehearsals were even more exciting when the whole cast assembled for scenes like this. Merlin, John Montgomery, commands, This blackguard shall die at noon! and points to the befuddled Yankee, who has just arrived from somewhere. Costuming was a special problem tackled and solved by an ingenious and creative group of seniors known as the Costumes Committee. Showing off their medieval attire 52 Much of the success of the performance is due to the coaching hints offered by Director Jerry Feezel. Chip Donnelly and Sue Gressens are good pupils. During workshop rehearsals our Yankee, Bob Newsome, has difficulty explaining his presence even to the charming Queen Guinevere, Sue Gressens, while the protecting Sir Sagamor stands by. are Chip Donnelly as Sir Sagamor, Sharon VanDyke as the Guardian Angel, Sue Gresens as Queen Guinevere, and Diana Arkin as Morgan leFay. There seems to be some kind of disagreement between Queen Guinevere and Morgan LeFay. Thanks to Hank these disagreements are soon settled. 53 Have you ever spen W Remng andng on an enchanted island? Last year at prom time' many of us •heard the bewitching whispers and beckonings of a very special island. We stepped from the gangplank of our luxury liner, the U.S.S. Enchanted Island, into a strange and wonderful world of coconut palms with an occasional monkey occupant, azure skies, tropical flowers, a grass hut, and sweet music floating onto the dance floor to mingle with the ocean breezes. With true island hospitality the juniors of 1960 provided a never-to-be forgotten evening for every guy and his honey bun. s4eteve We sometimes get a little upset because parents and schoolwork seem to interfere with our busy schedules. We so often have to stay up all night before a paper is due because we just couldn't take time away from the decorations we were making for the prom or from the project we were building for Science Club. Yet we are proud and happy when we are asked to take over a position of responsibility; it makes us feel good to know that our teachers and friends depend on us and look to us for leadership. And somehow, someway, we manage to get everything, or most everything, done. Whether our interests lie in meeting with the Student Council, writing for the newspaper, or playing team sports with the G.A.A., we like all the rush and bustle and confusion; we enjoy every hectic minute of these, the active 57 Gail Veasman and Judy Kuipelis are better informed about school activities which take place during each week than any other two people at Bremen. The reason for this is that they are members of the committee in charge of lettering the Student Council bulletin board in the main foyer. The Tom-Tom a published by the Student Council os o service to the student body, not os o profit-making project Kathy Rieke, directory committee chairmon, gets o great deal of pleasure from selling o Tom-Tom to Joe Stroin after all the work that was pul into fts production. Committee members Jan Huston and Judy Lodewegen haven't quite convinced Linda Ekstrom that a Tom-Tom is just what she needs to moke out her Christmos card list. Whatever you've lost, you're bound to find it at the Lost and Found, which operates under the direction of the Student Council. Marilyn Knutson is looking for something about so-high, and so-wide—and it's red. Your guess is as good as John Mensing's.

The Bremen Student Council is modeled after the government of the United States. We have a House of Representatives, a Senate, and an Executive Board. The difference is that the Executive Board at Bremen is entirely feminine. This does not, however, decrease the efficiency nor the responsibilities assumed by these capable officers. Sitting are Donna McLennan, President; Gail Veasman, Vice-President; and Betty Erickson, Secretary. Standing are Kathy Rieke, Second Vice-President; and Judy Anderson, Treasurer. 59 Forty voices combine in the Advanced Girls' Chorus. Members of this group are. Back Row: K. Tippit, S. Roche, A.

A new chorus, composed of freshman boys and called the Boys' Glee Club, was added to the vocal music department of Bremen this year. They made their debut at the annual Christmas concert and sang at various other programs through the year along with the Advanced Girls' Chorus, the Advanced Mixed Chorus, the Freshman Girls' Chorus, and the Octette. Their musical repertoire, under the direction of Miss Ruth Schmidt, ranged from popular hits from Broadway shows to serious classics like Handel's Messiah. Members of the Octette are Sandy Scott (accompanist), Leslie Dahl, Ron Holder, Delores Bradley, Bill Tindall, Donna Risser, Lloyd Jackson, Betty Watkins, George Goodwin.

The Echo staff, under Miss Leith and Mr. Srnck's guidance, struggled to put out the four-page paper every two weeks. Sometimes it looked as if the deadline couldn't possibly be made, but it always was. For the first time the journalism class entered into the production of the school paper as a part of their classroom activity. The class was divided, and one half acted as reporters while the other half worked in laying out the paper. Each six weeks the jobs were alternated. These people are Echo reporters. They gathered the news, wrote their stories, and sometimes typed them. Left to right they are. Back Row: L. Fairlie, W. Brown, K. Perrigo, T. Fornell, R. Hespen, J. McKinnon, K. Allen, B. Macak.

The head of the arrow could be Kay Swisher, editor; Mrs. Lotchin, sponsor; and Miss Clarke, Miss Smith, and Miss Stover, cosponsors. The head of an arrow leads and directs the flight of the arrow. These people did that in the production of the yearbook. The shaft of an arrow could be the staff of the book. The shaft acts as the support and mainstay of an arrow. The longest and biggest part of an arrow is the shaft. The staff was the main body of the yearbook. Their combined efforts and tasks helped to construct the Arrow. An arrow always has a target. The head and shaft lead to the target. Deadlines to meet, pictures to take, and copy to write were among the targets continually facing the Arrow organization. The feather, or the pretty part, is at the end. The feather of this arrow is the 1961 Arrow, which we hope to be the biggest and bestest yet! This little lady helped to make 1961 Arrow sales bigger than ever before. Shades of hidden persuaders! These people were carefully chosen from a group of applicants for their talent to write copy, draw, layout pages, or organize important parts of our book.

It wasn't basketball or wrestling practice, but the girls of G.A.A. The purpose of this organization can be explained by the name itself. Girls' Athletic Association. The girls in this group meet to have fun and grow in sportsmanship while developing skills. Under the supervision of Miss Cranston and Mrs. Aitken the girls were offered a variety of activities. They played with everything from the cageball to the shuttlecocks. Swim-.ming was offered for the girls who wanted to get wet. The highlights of the year were the basketball and volleyball games against the faculty women and the playdays with other schools in the area. Back Row: A. Irwin, K. Wilmington, C. Apdrysiak, S.

For the upperclassmen the club provides activities and for the freshmen the club provides an opportunity to become familiar with the school. In the beginning of the school year the Girls' Club sponsored a get-acquainted tea so that freshmen -could get together with their big sisters. During November tho two projects on the agenda were selling candy for the Lions Club and joining in the annual Thanksgiving drive. On the eleventh of November girls from the club sold candy. The proceeds from these sales went towards helping the blind. Near Thanksgiving the girls collected money and canned goods with which they packed baskets to distribute to needy families in our area. The annual Christmas ball and the Mother-Daughter Banquet in the spring completed a busy year for the Girls' Club, which is sponsored by Mrs. Davis and Miss Tripp. This isn't a stag line with two pieces of Christmas cake for everybody; it's refreshment time at the Christmas dance sponsored by the Girls' Club.

The Educators, which is Bremen's branch of the national Future Teachers of America Association, are sponsored by Mr. Rizer and Mrs. Schuiltz. Their big event of the past year was playing host to over twenty clubs at the annual Fall Workshop of District II of the Illinois Association of Future Teachers of America. Group singing led by Mr. Wendell Kennedy of the Illinois Education Association began the allday meeting. Each student then chose four sessions to attend to hear talks on different phases of the teaching profession by teachers from Bremen and from other schools in the area. A turkey dinner closed the conference—a success in every-ones estimation. 70 (2lu6 The boys' answer to Girls' Club is, oddly enough, called Boys' Club.

Learning to manage a fine home and having fun are the precepts of the Future Homemakers of America. The girls of F.H.A. participated in a variety of activities this last year. For the Girls' Club Get-Acquainted Tea they modeled the latest fashions of the proper Bremen girl. Later in the fall they held their annual Daddy Date Night at which games were played and a contest was held to choose the best crown made for a father. Their project for the spring was the slumber party held in the school gym. F.H.A. activities were supervised by Miss Schuelke, Miss Downing, Miss Rhoda, and Mrs. Mattsey. 72 Argyle socks for Dad, a rag doll for little sister, a party apron for Mom—gifts mean so much when they are specially made for someone dear.

Sponsors of the several divisions of the club are Mr. Cote, Mrs. Hemphill, Mr. Neath, Mr. Hall, Mr. Hoy, Mr. Kaiser, Mr. Maxwell, and Mr. Theis. Science The purpose of Tom Dresser's first-place fractionating column is to separate two liquids that have different boiling points. Within the column the solution is vaporized and the vapors rise to the top of the column where they condense and flow down the column as reflux. All succeeding vapors that rise through the column come in contact with this reflux and become more and more separated.

This field relates to the analysis of the spectral lines in the sun to determine its constituents as well as to the analysis of a chemical sample in a laboratory class. In addition, spectroscopy is very important in the drug and metal industries. Paul Stevens maneuvers this miniature electric brain to beat Pat Smith at a card game. Pat chooses any number of cards up to four. After each turn Paul uses the dials to tell the brain the number of cards being used, the move number, and the number of cards Pat has drawn. The brain repays his information by telling him with tiny lights how many cards he should draw. The loser, rarely the brain, is the person who draws the last card. (lutUon, Scce tti4t S uv patent at Electroplating is the process of applying a thin coat of metal upon another surface. In this experiment a piece of German Silver metal is plated by dipping it .into a copper sulfate solution through which an electric current is being sent. Bob Bateman took a first place with this project. Barb Clement was awarded a first-place for her study of natural agglutins of the domestic fowl. Barbara completed tests to demonstrate the ability of chickens to clump rabbit red blood cells. This is one of the natural body defenses of the chicken against disease. 76 Carolyn Holden made an investigation to determine the progression of bone formation in a mammal and in a bird by a four step staining process. The completed embryo was placed in glycerin for the exhibit. Carolyn received a first-place rating. Freshman Dick McPherson studied genetics for his Science Fair project. Genes, the substances which govern individual characteristics, assort independently from generation to generation and follow both the laws of chance and the laws of heredity. Two specific laws of heredity, individual assortment and sex linkage, were verified by breeding fruit flies in a medium of corn syrup and corn meal and observing the results.

We feel deep loyalty to our friends and school, and we will fight long and hard to prove the worth of our side. A rival's challenge is like the traditional red flag before the bull. Pandemonium and celebration over victories, tears over defeats, excitement always at fever pitch —these all play their parts in the competitive years. With smiles like these, who can refrain from yelljng themselves hoarse with the spirited varsity cheerleading squad? Along with their smiles, they have talent. These Bremen boosters took first-place honors this summer at the Normal Cheerieading Camp. Seniors on the squad are Gail Veasman, Sue Gresens, Cheryl Gardner, and Mary Ellul, while Sandy Stephens is the sole representative from the junior class. There's no end to Cheryl Gardner's effort to keep the crowd yelling! This petite Indian will knock herself out for the Braves—or perhaps this is just Little Joe's way of saying, Hats off to the Red and Gray! Look familiar? A big reason for the terrific school spirit we have at Bremen is that the faculty as well as the students are interested and present at the athletic contests. A tense situation at a football game is reflected on the faces of Mr. Lussow, Mr. Starner, Mr. Diehl, Mr. Egli, and Mr. Medcalf.

The moral support of close to a thousand fans is written on every intent face . . . The basket is good—and we ail helped! Mr. Callan does plenty of cheering on his own. The football players hear his advice—and threats—above all the fanfare from the multitude. Go! Go! Go! Go! The chant stirs the team to action and determination. There is no defense for a maneuver like this, and the Braves score another victory. On the field, on the track, on the floor, true blue Braves are we. In fair winds and foul the Braves always had a host of staunch fans behind them. It's a long way from the terrifying, anxious moments of cheerleader tryouts to a smooth- working group of peppy cheerleaders. Junior varsity cheerleaders this year are Carol Zaremba, Jan Butzer, Shirley Schultz, and Jonene Turak. VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM Back Row: B. Dobkowski, G. Schmidt, A. Lussow, D. Tews, J. Ferris, P.

VERN SLOAN SENIOR QUARTERBACK CHUCK ALBWQHT SENIOR HALFBACK The football season this year had the exciting moments and the thrills characteristic of the sport. The first of these thrills was at Thornton Fractional High School where Bremen fought its first battle of the season. After a close fight Bremen won the season's opener on a touchdown scored by junior Andy Scianna. After this encouraging start, however, the Red and Gray suffered defeat at the hands of Carl Sandburg, Home-wood-Flossmoor, Reavis, Rich, and Evergreen Park high schools. Because of this string of losses, Bremen was a thirty-five point underdog when we hosted the Lincolnway Knights for our second annual Homecoming game. Despite the seemingly insurmountable odds, the team displayed tremendous drive and spirit in the game. The spirit of the team, combined with the enthusiasm of the students throughout the Homecoming festivities, furnished spectators with one of the most fierce battles ever fought on Bremen's football field, a battle which was anybody's guess right up until the final gun stopped play in a 7-7 tie. After this somewhat surprising show of gridiron drive, Bremen journeyed to Oak Lawn for the final tilt of the season. It was in this game that the Braves seemed to hit their stride, defeating the Spartans with fine performances by the whole team. Especially good performances were turned in by Rich Norbut and Phil Tunstall who carried the pigskin 77 and 71 yards respectively to score touchdowns for the cause. The final score of this happy ending to the season was 12-7. The post-season highlight was Bremen's Bob Dobkowski's being picked for the defensive end spot on the all-conference team, which is chosen annually by the football coaches of the Southwest Suburban Conference.

We first trounced Thornton Fractional South 52-26 and then dumped Oak Lawn 48-41 on alien courts. Hosting Thornridge High School, we served them a sound defeat with the lop-sided score 71-25. A journey to Reavis proved very fruitful as we continued our vanning streak by defeating them 72-60. The Braves put up a strong fight against Blue Island, but were edged out 80-78 by this highly-rated team. The next victory, a 68-35 romp at the expense of our arch-rivals, Rich, was probably the most satisfying of the season. But just as all good things must come to end, Bremen suffered the first conference defeat at Homewood-Flossmoor High School, a 80-67 defeat by the Vikings. Evergreen Park was the next victim of Bremen's struggle for the conference title. When the Braves returned from Christmas vacation, something seemed to be against us, for we dropped the next three games in a row to Aurora East, Lincolnway, and Carl Sandburg. We came out of this short losing streak by defeating Oak Lawn and Reavis and winning another victory at Rich High School against the Rockets. After this show of strength Bremen again lost to the power-hungry Vikings. Another victory at the expense of the Evergreen Park Mustangs was to be our last win, as Bremen dropped the last two games of the season to Lincolnway and Carl Sandburg to finish the season in fourth place. Post-season honors went to John Ragsdale, Rich Norbut, and Al Lussow.

Bremen's Aqua Braves entered the season as a two year old team striving for victories and recognition. This young team began a schedule competing with the greatest swimming powers in the area. They splashed easily past Lockport, Aurora East, Carl Sandburg, and Thornridge high schools. Their next meet pitted them against Thornton, long considered the strongest swimming power on the south side. They proved that Thornton is not invincible by romping over the Thornton tanksters 60-35 and becoming the first team in this area to beat them. The Aqua Braves proceeded to win their next five meets, all one-sided tilts. In the next meet Bremen, now considered the strongest group on the south side, hosted Riverside-Brookfield, the strongest team on the north side. Bremen entered this meet in the unfamiliar role of underdog. When the meet was over two-thirds of the pool records were broken as were almost all of the team records and, though Bremen lost 48-46, they emerged as one of the biggest powers in the state. Among these pool records which were broken were the 100 yd. back by Schuman and the 200 yd. free style by Reker, both of Bremen. After the regular swimming season was over, Bremen competed in the state swimming tourney. They were successful in sending to the state finals their medley relay team of Ed Schumann, Norm Hoffman, Russ Standish, and Rich Kieffer, and diver Mike McPherrin, who performed his especially good jackknife and his back dive with a twist. Mike came out of the state meet ranked as one of the top twenty-five divers in the state. 93 VARSITY WRESTLING TEAM Back Row: Coach B. Sonnen-berg, F. Grott, L. Soyk, D. Timmons, D. Tews, K.

Mike McGarry dives to beat the throw to first on an attempted pick-off. 99 tided “fyettAA A poet named Kahlil Gibran once said: If a teacher is indeed wise, he does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. Years ago our teachers and parents began to give us bits of elementary knowledge—tools to use in our few attempts at thinking. As we grew in years our tools grew in numbers. At the same time we began to be expected to learn rather than to be taught. At this point in our growing we have learned much from friends, from parents, from teachers, and from our experiences. Most important we are beginning to think of all sides of a question before we make a decision; we are learning to look for facts rather than for superficial appearances; we are beginning to approach the thresholds of our own minds. Indeed we have had wise teachers to lead us through the guided years. In a new role as principal of the high school, Mr. Glenn Starner has assumed many added duties this year. His is the first voice we hear in the morning over the speaker system, and he is the first person we see about our schedule troubles, plans for activities, or questions about school policy. Evidence of Mr. O. W. Young's importance is carried around by every student. The books we carry, the pencils and paper that we buy at the book store, and that bus pass which as- sures us of a ride to and from school are just a few of the items which Mr. Young dis- tributes as the administrative director of transportation and head of the book store. New on our staff this year is Mr. Neil Rippe, who has served as assistant principal to Mr. Starner. A great part of Mr. Rippe's time has been spent in supervision of instruction. This job includes gathering data on the latest educational methods and offering aid or advice to teachers when they need it. 4cUKtKc4tnatcoK If you don't think 2,200 students are a tremendous responsibilfty, you're wrong. Can you imagine a play without a director or the United States without a President? Similar chaos would exist at Bremen without Mr. Birkhead. Even though we find it impossible to comprehend all the duties of our superintendent, we appreciate his energetic efforts which have done so much for our school. s4uk at £ctucatco tat SzceCleMce The past year marks a milestone in the life of Bremen High School. After this year part of the students will study at the Tinley Park school and Bremen will have a new rival. Both schools will be under the supervision of Mr. Birkhead, but each will have its own principals, deans, and guidance department. 103 The female poulation is thankful for its understanding dean of girls, Mrs. Phyllis Davis. Even more important than a disciplinarian, we have found her to be a confidante, a helper, and a friend. Mr. Hulfachor, Mr. Jasper, Mr. Medcalf, and Mr. Heinrich are very much concerned with our futures. They aren't swamis with crystal balls; they are guiders with all sorts of informative books, pamphlets, and tests which help us determine where our places in life will be. Dea t a tct uccCcutce ‘Defianttitettt s4xe 'P'UettcCd t t '7'leect The female population of Bremen is also thankful for a friend like Mr. Cox, dean of boys. Thanks to him the male population at Bremen is clean-cut. courteous, and conscientious. Bremen's dedicated Board of Education for 1960-1961 includes Mrs. Carol Rieke; Dr. Earl V.

Every important record or memorandum eventually finds its way into the hands of Mrs. Rupert, Miss Biela, Mrs. Saunders, Mrs. Buchaas, Mrs. Pooler, or Miss Sypian. 105 SCIENCE Mr. Cote, department chairman, is showing off the brand new physics lab to the whole science department.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES Your guess is as good as ours. When the language department has a meeting, do they communicate in Spanish, German, or Latin? It's a lucky thing that Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Hannum, and Mr. McCoy can speak English! Mr. Shereikis, Miss Leith, Mrs. Schuiltz, Mr. Lyon, Mr. Filson, Miss Clarke, Mrs. Lotchin, Mrs. Holloway, Mr. Feezel, Miss Stover, Mrs. Hake, Miss Frede, Miss Burkhalter, Mr. Bruell, department chairman, and Mr. Arnold, members of Bremen's English department, look very much at home amidst the volumes of Dickens, Steinbeck, Hemingway, and Tolstoy which line the shelves of the library. HOME ECONOMICS There's a lot more to managing a good home than meets the eye. Miss Dowing, Miss Rhoda, Miss Schuelke, and Mrs. Mattsey know this, and they are teaching the future homemakers of Bremen the fine arts of cooking, meal planning, table setting, sewing, and interior decorating—to mention only a few of the skills which make the difference between a house and a home. INDUSTRIAL ARTS • Mr. Rauch, Mr. Frahm, Mr. Hall, Mr. McBain, Mr. Crone, Mr. Young, and Mr. Adams are checking out their transmitter's sine waves with an oscilloscope. Along with woodworking, metal shop, drafting, and auto shop, the industrial arts department boasts an electric shop with an amateur radio station which transmits on the novice band, sending Morse code messages to other ham operators. MUSIC Bremen owes a great deal to Mr. Hollingsworth and Miss Schmidt for producing the fine bands and choruses of which we all are so proud. 108 ART Maybe the mouse isn't a genuine Michaelangelo, but art teachers Mr. Madura and Mr. Falaschetti like it fine.

The teacher's lounge is the faculty's escape from crowded halls and their busy life in the classroom. Mr. Lyon, Mr. Arnold, and Mr. Young are grateful for a few minutes off their feet as they enjoy the community foot rest and good conversation. The responsibility of keeping the students healthy rests on the shoulders of Mrs. Sutor, our school nurse. At one time or another we all have appreciated her services, whether she was giving us an ear or an eye test or patching us up after gym class. Miss Smith keeps track of every book in our library. There isn't a person at Bremen who hasn't asked where that certain book can be found at one time or another. Mrs. Gunderson and Mrs. Kuhlmann assists Miss Smith in the library, keeping things quiet for those who want to study and helping people find information for their ever-present term paper assignments. Without these people we would have cold rooms, dirty gyms, incorrect clocks, snowy sidewalks—and, worst of all, we would be walking around in candy wrappers two feet deep. Left to right ore (seated) This ingenious cart was specially designed for Mr. Soliday; Mr. Tyson; Mr. Wilmington; Mrs. Whinna; Mr. Kuh; and Mr. Ferguson. Standing are matron Agnes Whinna by Agnes Whinna. Mr. Mock; Mr. McCormack; Mr. Reimer; Mr. Billadeau; Mr. Ketelboeter, chief custodian; Mr. Jessen; Mr. Day; and Mr. Dini. Officers elected to lead this year's graduating class are John McKinnon, president; Cheryl Gardner, vice-president; Pat Hoeltgen, secretary; and Andy Postlewaite, treasurer. We, the Senior Class of 1961, have shared many memorable experiences since we entered Bremen as frightened freshmen in September, 1957. Memories will fade as we go our separate ways, but they will never be entirely forgotten. How well we remember those firsts that seemed to add to our high school education—Homecoming, cross country, a swim in the new pool, special assemblies presented by visiting celebrities, and the first girl, a member of our class, to be elected president of the Student Council. There were other hondrs, too. As sophomores, we captured the Southwest Suburban Conference championship in frosh-soph basketball. The Class of '61 has been well represented in debate, drama, sports, and in every other club at Bremen; of these things we are truly proud. Yes, the last four years have seen us grow academically, socially, and athletically; but the greatest test is yet to come. After June graduation each of us will take a different path. There will be sadness and anticipation on our faces as we march in the processional; yet college, a job, or marriage will be new challenges to be met. Wherever we go a part of Bremen will go with us, and our voices will continue to echo throughout the campus.

We were too busy. There were class elections, ring selections, term papers and thousands of prom meetings. Now we look to next year with the questions of what to do with our lives and where to go to college, with the knowledge that yye're next to graduate always in mind. Class officers for 1960-61 were Donna Lovrich, treasurer; Roger Hartmann, vice-president; Bill Tindall, president; and Judy Kiupelis, secretary.

Could it have been only last year that we were freshmen? The whole idea seems ridiculous to us now. But now that we're sophomores, what do we do? We can no longer get away with the follies of freshmen and we're too young to assume the superior airs of juniors. Many times we feel as though we're not fully appreciated. It's a puzzlement. The officers chosen for the year are Sharon Hill, treasurer; Allen Fleming, vice-president; Sue Bauer, secretary; and Bob Porter, president.

They were confused students who shivered at the sight of a teacher and gaped with awe at the star basketball player; inexperienced souls who forgot their locker combinations and class schedules. Eventually, with the help of their teachers and the upperclassmen, they learned how to study and how to talk to a senior without quaking. The freshman class has, indeed, taken a big step toward becoming the graduating class of 1964. Officers for the year are Ken Figurell, president; Rachael Mueller, secretary; Cheryl Anderson, treasurer; and Gail Gruetzmacher, student council senator.

It is lots of friends, some new ideas, a thousand laughs, a few tears, and more wonderful memories than we can count; but most of all, high school is the springboard to our dreams-come-true. For years we have been busy building castles in the air and conjuring up beautiful visions of days to come. Now we are ready to go out and make those dreams come true, those dreams which have been so much a part of our every action and plan through- out the dreaming years. 153 Miss Gail Veasman was chosen by the senior class and the faculty to receive the D.A.R. award. This national award is given for qualities of leadership, scholarship, and citizenship. Gail has been active in Student Council throughout her years at Bremen. She is an honor student and has been a cheerleader for three years. Members of the graduating class of 1960 who maintained scholastic averages and good citizenship records were initiated into the National Honor Society. They are, flack Row: M. Pope, G. Rieke, D.

John Ragsdale is Brain 1 (valedictorian) and Gail Veasman is Brain 2 (saluta-torian) of the class of '61—a far cry from the ancient stereotype of the class book-worms. This year's graduating class is well stocked with students of exceptional ability. Six of these students are Bob Cox, Bob Foster, Sue Watkins, Bill Klecka, Margie Simpson, and Donna McLennan, who scored in the 99th percentile on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. tyuuiuataut 7 a 7tme ecu4sut fat How many times have we been reminded that learning simply to earn an A grade or to win a prize of some sort is futile? How many times have we agreed that knowledge for knowledge's sake is the right and proper attitude on the subject? With this in mind, however, it's a good feeling to be singled out as the recipient of a scholarship, an award, or some other honor. Perhaps we can be excused, then, for the happiness that comes from these tokens of hard work and a job well done. The farewell address is given to the graduating class by Supt. T. R. Birkhead. As seniors, sitting in the auditorium, wearing our caps and gowns, and listening to the parting words of the speakers, we can't help thinking how quickly the last four years have flown by. And all the while we are trying to swallow those annoying lumps that somehow get in our throats. As the first of June draws near, senior days get busier and busier. There are pictures to be taken, announcements to be chosen, caps and gowns to be fitted, jobs to be applied for, colleges to be visited and selected, scholarship tests to be written, new campus clothes to be bought, and finally, last good-byes to be said. Surely these final months are the happiest, yet the saddest, months of our life at Bremen. The beginning of the end is when senior pictures are taken in late fall. What wizards those cameramen are—we all turn out looking like debutantes or their male counterparts. Sharon Bienick here watches for the birdie—or something. 'Hearn Vita Pignatiello holds the selection of graduation announcements so that George Crossley, Carole Daniels, and Gwynne Cade can choose the ones they like best. Optimists in the group will no doubt select Thank you cards, too. 156 As graduation gets closer. Bill Vander-Veen's favorite section of the daily news has switched from the comics to the Help Wanted pages. The guidance office is often host to scenes like this in the early spring. Seniors Al Greutzmacher and Ken Allen look over college bulletins to find the perfect school for them. If the bulletins just told the boy girl ratio . . . 157 It's here! The long-awaited and long-dreaded day is here. Who can describe all the things we feel? We laugh a lot, go to a swirl of parties, tease underclassmen, and in general look pretty important. But don't be fooled; inside we are just a little bit more serious, a little bit sadder, and a little bit more grown-up than we care to show the world. Life has never seemed so big or we so small. It's wonderful, it's confusing, it's important, it's frightening, it's enchanting, it's busy, and it's dreamy to be . . . . -. Setti mf 159 BREMEN COMMUNITY And so the curtain falls on another year of performances produced by the Bremen players. The stage is cleared and empty of all the props and scenery. We've seen the plot before—the pow-wows, the games, the B-Hive Ball, the prom—but each year the story is different because of the personality of the cast, which can't be duplicated. We hope that this Arrow will serve as a complete and treasured script that will be pulled off dusty shelves time and time again to bring back pleasant memories. To the yearbook staff this book will bring back memories of hard work—pictures to be taken, layouts to be planned, copy to be written, and deadlines to be met. All of these were enjoyable jobs because they were leading to this object of our toil and effort—the 1961 Arrow. Kay Swisher Editor 160
