GRAYSON Superintendent the teacher’s “if” If you can take love with you to the classroom, And yet on firmness never shut the door; If you can teach a child the love of nature, So that he helps himself to all her store; If you can teach him life is what we make it. That he himself can be his only bar; If you can tell him something of the heavens. Or something of the wonder of a star. . . --Nathan Howard Gist Everett Arthur, B.S Alice Barbieri, B. of M.E Victor Barbieri, B. of M.E., M. of M.E Olive Bistransky, A.B Iris Bjelich, B.S., M.S Steve Bjelich, B.S., M.S Lela Cooke, A.B Catherine Dale, A.B Helen Davis, B.S., M.S Esta Garland, A.B Elaine Gorney, B.S., M.S Mildred Gorney, B.S Ann Joseph, B.S., M.S Robert Joseph, B.S., M.S Joan Johnson, B.S Alice Kingery, Ed.

Although the Swing 14 of Calumet High is only three years old, it may be classed as its most experienced band. Since its members are from the top positions in the Senior Concert Band, they have both a knowledge of classical music and pop- ular music. They have played for wedding re- ceptions, school dances, music festivals, and many other occasions--and have had a lot of fun doing them. They gain not only experience in playing, but also in attending social activities. As the Seniors graduate, new member s take their places; and as long as Calumet has abandmaster, like Mr. Barbieri, who is willing to devote his time to experiencing grateful music students, there will always be a fine Swing Band to repre- sent Calumet High. 60 MRS.

The chorus had originally been an all girls Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Barbieri, but when the bands and Glee Club grew to an overwhelming size, the aid of two teachers was needed. The work of the chorus has been ably shown in the concerts, festivals and other programs presented by the Music Department. A point system was introduced to further the attitudes and musical development of the music groups. It gives merits for class and in- dividual work; outside interests and attendance to musical functions. Awards are given to the Junior work and Senior awards on reaching the equivalent of seven semesters. left to right, FIRST ROW: B. Kemling, B. Burton, G. Price, R. Nevins, D. Cover, J. Fron- ek, S.

Their duties are to type and mimeograph tests, check on lost books, deliver messages, usher in visitors or people on business, and run errands. Each as- sistant gains experience in office work which provides an opportunity to meet people and to become familiar with office routine.

Well I do, and as I look through the scrapbook of memories that I ' ve kept during high school, I wondered if you wouldn ' t enjoy reliving some of the things we ' ve done as a class. September 6, 1949. Our first day as high school students. Remember how good it felt to be in high school, how grown up we all thought we were? Mother had actually let me unbraid my hair and wear it short. Even the boys seemed to enjoy a change of heart; they hadn ' t forsaken their usual costume of blue jeans and T shirts, but their hair seemed to stay combed a little better and they didn ' tsuddenly appear from nowhere and knock you over with a boistrous hi-ya. It certainly was a complicated start in high school wasn’t it? With having to arrange a schedule for half days and all. But everything ironed itself out, and after a month or so, we got used to the routine. One of the outstanding events of the first semester was the G A A initiation. How could any girl that joined that organization ever forget it--clothes inside out, father ' s shoes on, hair un- combed, no make-up on. Maybe I should have said, How could anyone that saw us ever forget it!” And remember that first dance? That was really something. As I recall the girls spent most of the evening gathered around the record machine discussing the usual subject- - boys.” And the boys, bless their hearts, were at the other end of the room watching and good-naturedly try- ing to get each other to ask a girl to dance. But after that first dance it wasn’t so bad, now was it? The first semester of high school seemed to fly, and before we knew it, we were going to school a full day in a new building that was just about it for a while. Our frosh year was climaxed with the usual May Prom in our activity room; another evening that many of us won ' t forget. Oh yes, then there was the baseball game we went to the last day of school that ended our first high school year on a pleasant note. Sophomores --The year started and progressed much the same as our freshman year, except everything seemed to be much more settled. In addition to the usual dances and basketball games, the first outstanding event of the year was the opening of our new gymnasium. Our firsthome game on our new floor against Lew Wal- lace was even broadcasted over a local radio station. The new gym was formally opened with a gala Mid-Winter Ball, which turned out to be a huge success. That spring the music department presented our first April in Paris musical review which was an outstanding success and will be remembered for a long time. As a fitting ending to our Sophomore year, a Spring Prom was held in our gymnasium. Juniors! My how old that sounded. Our class, returning from a three month vacation, was fresh with re-newed enthusiasm for school. This year was the beginning of a complete high school curriculum at Calumet. The fact that we were going to have a class graduation this year made us realize how little time we had left in school. The year, absorbed in dances, basketball games, and soc-hops, slipped by suddenly and it was nearing spring. As a Junior Class, we sponsored a Junior-Senior Prom on May 9, 1952. This was an outstanding evening for all concerned, as it was the first dance that we had held outside the school. We had rented the Lake Hills Country Club for the evening. The festive decorations, the orchestra, and the rain?? all made the evening a huge success, and one that we all will re- member for a long, long time. Then on May 15 we also sponsored a Junior-Senior Banquet. It was held at Vogel ' s Restaurant in Whiting. Remember how much fun we had? Amid all this spring activity, the Seniors were planning their Graduation exercises. The first class graduated from Calumet Township High School on May 20, 1952. The graduation exercises were held in our gymnasium at eight o ' clock on that evening. Many a serious thought came to all of us, not only the Seniors, as the diplomas were handed out. Not yet realizing that we were the Senior Class, we embarked on a summer vacation. Seniors at last! This was truly a great day, and yet a sort of sad one. This would be the last time we would have to change schedules, get books, obtain locks and lockers; all tasks we term- ed as tedious and yet exciting as first days always are. The social whirl of being Seniors started out smoothly with a round of Friday night dances climaxed with a Mid-Winter Ball in November sponsored by the G A A. Returning from Christmas vacation, we found ourselves confronted with the problem of check- ing our credits and changing semesters for the last time. This completed, we turned ourattention to planning a trip to the Capital Building at Indianapolis. Having to arise in the early hours of the morning in order to get started on time only added to the excitement of the day. The fine weather and the co-operation on everyone ' s part made it a very enjoyable trip. And now as I pen this history we are all looking forward to an active and pleasant spring. Our Junior-Senior Banquet is scheduled to be held at Teibels ' Restaurant on April 29, 1953. Our Jun- ior-Senior Prom is to be held in the Gary Hotel’s Crystal Ball Room on May 15, and we are all anticipating a wonderful time. Then, of course, there is the day which we have all been waiting for -Graduation Day-which is to be May 20. As we look back over the last four years, we remember pleasant and happy times as well as the few unpleasant ones. But, such is life. If we could live them all over again, we wouldn ' t change a thing. Although this is the end of our high school career, it is only the beginning of our lives, and now we are on our own. And, as we look ahead, may we always have the anxiety to gain success that we possess as we leave school. Whatever thoughts we carry with us as we leave this school, I think we canall agree that it has been four profitable years of learn- ing experiences. 8? class prophecy As I was walking through the luxurious rock garden behind my old high school, Calumet, I noticed a crowd gathering over in the magnificent athletic field. I went over to see what was going on and learned that a baseball game was to be played. I overheard someone in the crowd say the team, Shinovich and Sons, would play against Joseph and Sons. When the game began it looked as if the out-sized Josephs would be beaten by the Shinovichs had it not been for the foot-ball padding they were wearing. I then no- ticed their cheerleader-bat girl, Mrs. Davis, and approached her bench just as a rain- fall started. We headed for shelter in a nearby health bar owned by Shirley Warfield and Dolores Lousheff. As Mrs. Davis and I sat there sipping our V -8 and reminiscing over the good old days back in 1953, when an advertisement for the renting of Hartog rocket ships, at a new low, flashed on the television screen. We decided this would be a wonderful way to visit the members of the Class of ' 53 and took advantage of the of- fer. Starting on our venture, with Betty Bottos as pilot and Doris Boelt as co-pilot, we first stopped at a district hospital where Gladstone Overton, liver specialist, was assisting Dr. Chester Hause in performing a post mortum on Antony de Bie, stock car racer. In the corridor we met Bill Ruthkay, father of triplets, handing out cigars tied with pink and blue ribbons. We heard groans coming from room 13 and went to investigate. To our surprise we found Bill Single and Fidel Villalabos, interplanatory travelers, taking phys- icals before proceeding to Mars. Entertainment in the Senile Ward was provided by Nona Helton, Rosemary Stoming and Nona Erhardt on their musical cleaning equipment. Ardina Hill and Wilma Jansen, nurses of the emergency room, were attending, ambu- lance drivers, Jim Terhune and his assistant, Philip Lepley. They had just brought in Duane Portlock from a jet car accident at Indianapolis, caused by the perfume Margar- et Horvath manufactures and self advertises. Back in the ship I turned on the television set in time to see The Klasner and Beres Musical Review with Norman Underwood as emcee. Eric Wells was guest soloist. Mar- ilyn Duke also tooted a tune on her saxophone. Barbara Buirge provided the background music on her licorice stick for Fielder Davis ' s lanolin commercial. Shirley Stassin and Doris Stevens, the great comedy team, were interrupted by a news flash of a magnifi- cent motion picture release by Dean Soyring, president of 21st Century Wolf. Titled Put Your Shirt On Grandma, You ' re Too Old To Ride Bare Back starring Jeanine Did- elot, Elaine Mezdlo, and Norma Bean, directed by Dwan Wasson. Before reaching our next destination our tour was interrupted by Don Brant, and Willard Schuffert of the Space Cadets, who searched our ship for a book, She Stabbed Her Mate or the Way to A Man ' s Heart Is Through His Chest, by MaryAnn Colias ' s Publishing Company. While Charles Bedinger was refueling our ship on a space platform. Rose Williams, Space Queen, took us to see a new laboratory built to commemorate Barbara McCormick’s electronic coffee machine. A sudden explosion at the far end of the lab sent Bob Crowe through the air after his experiment on the P. U. Bomb. After the smoke cleared, Ro- bert Musgrave, water commissioner, found himself next to Art Erickson, who was ass ®P‘ bling a space suit to enable Joe Mitchell and Charles Doty to play basketball at high altitudes. Back on earth we stopped off at Foney Island and watched Omar, the tent maker, design a dress for Marge Meek and CharoletteStrumski, model models, while our pictures were being drawn by Ann Seitzinger. While buying a ticket from Joan Lord to see the Can Can by Betty Alsip, Alice Bidleman, and Pat Boston my eyes fell upon Janice Adinoili and her 4th husband buying cotton candy from Nancy Norman. Later while waiting on a park bench to see Lorelei O’Donnell model bathing suits, I picked up a newspaper and read the editorial by Adeline Oracheff on Walter Whitaker ' s new scientific machine for dry cleaning diapers. Hmmm here ' s an ad from the Anderson Bakery- specialty-cheese- 84 cake. Just then Marilyn Randhan, female Olympic track star, who was chasing her Mann, knocked over Don Tilley, an organ grinder, causing him to lose his monkey. Guess he’ll have to hire Ed Onda, M G M ' s stunt man. Preparing to leave Foney Island we found pilot John Svabik ' s helicopter wedged into one of our rockets. Upon investi- gation, Larry Powers, defective, discovered the cause--spiked pablum. Barbara Reeder and Helen Nutt, grease monkeys, said it would take some time to repair the damage and advised us to take some other means of public transportation. We were about to rent one of those dated cars from Valentine Villabos when our atten- tion was drawn to a funeral, directed by Bob Dellenbach, which turned into Don Car- pentor ' s cemetary. Looking for a way out, we met Juanita Taylor, who offered to use her gifted powers to reveal the successes of the remaining students. As her translucent crystal ball began to clear, there sat Carl Stoops, cigar in mouth, awaiting his wife, El- sie Snyder, first woman president, to finish a conference with Eugene Ewen, ambassador to Mars. Suddenly a blood curdling scream came from Anna Mae Carv er, chief cook, who was battling the bread which contained too much yeast because of Nancy Good- man, the cook belonging to the too many cooks group. Unable to keep the bread under control Charles Kirklin and Ruth Stewart with a steam shovel began to move the dough into the Government Mint Building to key down inflation. We learned that Pat Corrie. Libbv Crabtree, and Mildred Elea had jobs in the mint. They wanted to learn the methods and someday open up a place of their own with Regis Graden as official printer. As we were leaving the White House we noticed Carl Jantzen and Donald Merchant washing the windows in the dome of the White House. They’re sure getting around. On the lawn of the White House was a very unique water fountain. From the inscription we learned that Eileen Hochstetler, Henrietta Kamenski, Marilyn Orosz, and Jean St. Meyers were used as subjects to create this masterpiece. Leaving Washington, we stopped to visit Shirley Kristoff now living in a ship which had been converted to a modern dwelling. It looked very domesticated, especially with the bell bottomed romps drying on the clothes line on deck. The Dust and Schultz Repair- ing Company was there at the time fixing the leaking basement. We then went to the docks to view the departure of Rema Memring, Shirley Merchant, and Joyce Taylor on the new atomic powered liner. After the christening by Arlene Louie, famous socialite, Captain Bill Biggerstaff gave the signal to start the voyage. We learned that Helen Lucas has become the leading jazz singer in New Orleans. Irene Rakowski and Beverly Kemling are also hitting the high notes in the music field. Janice Sharp and Gregory Hernamdez jointly own and operate the country ' s largest men’s clothing store where one can get everything from shoe stri ngs to custom made space suits.
