The CHIEFTAIN of 1959 CALUMET HIGH SCHOOL Gary, Indiana Getting set to do a chemistry experiment in fractional distillation are Janice Book, Ed Hartsell, and Mike Riegle. EDUCATION EMPHASIZED Today more and more emphasis is being placed on education. Each day we are com- peting more with each other and with people from other countries. It is important that our schools turn out people who are prepared to meet this challenge. A school ' s curri- culum must be complete enough to give ev- ery student an opportunity for a broad edu- cation. The schools must advance along with the advancement of the world or we will lag behind. This is an important problem here at Calumet as it is in schools all over the coun- try. New courses have been offered to the students so that they will be well trained in their chosen field. Because education is of such importance, we have chosen it for our theme and will try to show how it can be obtained . These students are taking advantage of the new French course added to the curriculum this year. three Students getting admits is a common sight in the office every morning. Here Mrs. Waldron is giving these late students a pass to class. Buying supplies from the book- store is a task carried out by many students as it is by this girl. four EDUCATION IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT PRODUCT WE OBTAIN BASIC EDUCATION THROUGH CLASSES Page 22 WE ENLARGE OUR EDUCATION THROUGH ACTIVITIES Page 70 WE ENRICH OUR EDUCATION THROUGH ATHLETICS Page 102 WE ACCENT OUR EDUCATION THROUGH STUDENT LIFE Page 120 WE OBTAIN OUR BACKING THROUGH ADVERTISING Page 132 five Shown working at his desk is Dr. Earl J. Schuur, superintendent of Calumet Township schools. This year Calumef Township has a new Superintendent, Dr. Earl J. Schuur. Dr. Schuur, who is married and has two children, received his first degree, Bachelor of Arts, from American University in Washington D.C. in 1933. In 1941 he earned his Master of Arts de- gree from Wayne University in Detroit, Michi- gan, and ten years later, he was given his Doctor ' s degree in education at Indiana Univer- sity. Dr. Schuur, born in Detroit, Michigan in 1910, started his career as a grade school teacher, and later as a science teacher in high school. Working his way up, he became a college professor. Later, as a principal of an elementary school. Dr. Schuur gained experi- ence in administrative work. Dr. Schuur also has served in the Navy from 1 942 to 1 946 . SUPERINTENDENT AND Members of the first duly elected school board in the Metropolitan School district are Mr. Wayne Peters, second vice-president; Mr. Howard Alvey, vice-president; Mr. Clarence Greenwald, president; Mr. Arthur Busse, treasurer; Mr. Gerald Lutz, secretary. six Mr. Harold E. Strycker received much of his college education at Manchester College where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree. He continued his education by doing grad- uate work at Indiana University in order to get his Master of Arts degree. Mr. Strycker, who is now married and has three children, taught school at Bristol, Indiana, but left this position when he came to Calumet. At this time there was an enroll- ment of only four hundred students in the school . Mr. Strycker ' s constant hope for our school is to achieve the best standards that are academically possible. With this goal in mind, many improvements have been made at Calumet. Some of the major improvements include the football field, cafeteria, and the breezeway . Mr. Harold Strycker, principal, is about to tackle a pile of papers in his busy schedule. PRINCIPAL IMPROVE SCHOOL Mr. Luther Zehr, director of special services, sometimes has to consult Mr. Max Hile, assistant principal, on important matters as he is doing here. seven Showing their duties are Mrs. Corinne Redar, Calumet High School trea- surer, and Mrs. Barbara Cudziol, Calumet’s secretary. OFFICE WORKERS GIVE Counselors to aid students in their problems are Mrs. Zela Doty, Mrs. Elsie Waldron, Miss Lillian Hamnik, and Mrs. Lela Cooke. eight Busy writing an announcement for the bulletin are Carol Eldridge and Marcedia Rickelman. Showing some of the tasks of the office assistants are Donna Porter, Barbara Eichelberger, Yvonne Thomas, Sandra Marsh, and Vonda Howell. AID TO PERSONNEL This is a common sight in the office each period. These office assistants are Nell McLaughlin, Mar- rilee Poortinga, Barbara Eichelberger, and Kathleen Shaw. Office assistants are necessary in carrying on the work that is encountered in the office each day. Charleen Woodard, Sherry Warren, Yvonne Thomas, and Della Bellile help with this work. Keeping check on students who are absent from school is a necessary task. Here Carol Cooper and Charolette Anderson are making a list of absent students. nine Mr. Roy Chapman ' s journalism class listens attent- ively as he reads an article written by one of the students. Mrs. Elsie Waldron explains the diagraming of a sentence to Alice Romano and Dennis Nimetz. BASIC COURSES The English Department offers four years of study of the English language. One semester of the English class is devoted to literature, while grammar is stressed in the second semes- ter. The study of literature helps us to under- stand ourselves and the world about us. Well known short stories are studied each year with American literature emphasized in the eleventh grade and English literature in the twelfth. Grammar, an important part of our educa- tion, in studied along with composition writing each year. Special courses are also offered to the stu- dents who desire more training in special fields. These courses include speech, dramatics, and journalism . Lillian Milos Alice Lillian Phillip Elsie Hamnik Karigan Kingery McAllister McLaughlin Waldron ten FORM FRAMEWORK We are interested in the past because it helps us to explain and understand the pre- sent. Today ' s world is a result of man ' s ability or inability to live and learn to adjust to the diversity of places, situations, and events that exist around him. This study begins with World History, a comprehensive and concise review of all human history. American History takes one phase of world history and studies it in greater detail . Government students examine the Ameri- can democratic system, and in economics, the students study the American productive system as compared to other economic systems. The study of government and economics helps us to understand how our government is run, and creates better citizens. Mr. William Miller is going over the lesson with his world history class. Lela Dan Cooke Kachaturoff William John Miller Tsangaris Testing comes in all classes. Here Mr. John Tsangaris is passing out examination papers to one of his U. S. History classes. eleven MATH AND SCIENCE Physics experiments sometimes prove to be very interesting as this one on light seems to be. Calumet has an adequate Science Depart- ment which is important for turning out future scientists. Biology, the study of plants and animals, is offered in the first year. Those who want to acquire more knowledge of science can do so by taking chemistry. Here an emphasis is placed on a basic understanding of chemical science. Physics, the study of matter and energy, is available to the more ambitious students. This curriculum of science courses is complete enough to give the students a sufficient know- ledge of the subject. Mr. Ray Skamay looks on as Marsha Wrobleuski watches some tiny microbes through the microscope. Waiting her turn is Janette Ralph, another student. Charles Walter Ray Richard Cole Murzyn Skamay Trcka twelve ARE IMPORTANT The importance of mathematics in our lives today cannot be over-emphasized. Because all progress depends on math, a full four year course is recommended to the students. Algebra is the beginning of specialization in mathematics. It is a technique which de- velops knowledge and skill in working with literal numbers and symbols. Geometry, a different form of math, de- velops a sense of reasoning through the use of two dimensional figures. It is one of the most valuable courses in the progress of mathematics. Trigonometry, the study of indirect measure- ment, is an accumulation of the other forms of math. Bob Fidler and Ronald Fleming watch Tom Hickel as he explains a trigonometry problem. Raymond Kirk Mr. Raymond Kirk aids Richard Frye and Mary Lasser in the construction of an angle. Mr. Jack Benson gives aid to one of his students in solving an algebra problem. Jim Swinson demonstrates to McKinley Young and Paul Bittke how to construct a spherical triangle. Jack Benson Robert Smead thirteen Looking over some art work with Miss Joan Johnson is Jim Conley, one of her art students. Miss Joan Johnson is showing one of her students, Irene Golden, how to produce depth in pictures. The Art Department offers training in such fields as drawing, clay modeling, painting, chalk drawing, and furnishing and landscaping homes. Each year the art classes plan an art ex- hibit which is held at the Music Festival. A commercial art contest, sponsored by H. Gor- don and Sons, is also held each year. The win- ner of this contest receives a $25 savings bond. Joan Johnson THE ARTS PROVIDE Looking at some of the coming events on the bulletin board with Mr. Thomas Clark are Don Kuiper, Mar- garet Zaharie, and Sis Dominick. Victor Thomas Barbieri Clark fourteen The Music Department, under the direction of Mr. Thomas Clark, choral director, and Mr. Victor Barbieri, band director, has gained much recognition this year. Both sections of the Music Department have undergone changes in their policies this year. Officers were elected to take care of business, and new choral groups were organi- zed in an effort to expand the Music Depart- ment. Some of the members of the band are having a prac- tice session before class. The Industrial Arts Department offers train- ing for boys in the fields of mechanical draw- ing, woodworking, and metal shop. In wood shop students are instructed on the processes of hand woodworking, and information about ma- chine tools and use of materials is offered. Metal shop gives the student a chance to acquire skill in the construction of metal artic- les. The students learn the basic operations on the screw cutting lathe, and other machines. Special projects are made by the students as the basic part of their training. Mechanical drawing provides a necessary phase of industrial arts training. Students are drilled in drawing scale model pictures of con- struction problems and are taught the language of industry. FURTHER TRAINING Avon Sheppard performs one of the operations necessary in making an article in wood shop. Mr. Michael Vass, metal shop teacher, looks on while Dale Hirsch uses the cutting lathe. John Michael Shinovich Vass Bill Warchus receives advice from Mr. John Shin ovich on a mechanical drawing problem. fifteen COMMERCIAL NECESSARY Miss Francis Meyers plays record in her shorthand class to time students on taking dictation in shorthand. The Commercial Department provides an excellent opportunity for students to obtain training in the commercial arts. The department helps to develop an understanding of business functions by teaching certain basic principles of business education. Typing is taken by many students whether they are preparing for clerical jobs or not. Personal typing is recommended for students who wish to type for their own personal use, while two years of typing are offered for those who are planning on a career in business. Shorthand is an important part of secretarial training. Two years are offered; the first year is to introduce the use of the symbols, and in the second year the student achieves rapid transcription and accuracy. Salesmanship, bookkeeping, secretarial training, and business law complete the cur- riculum . These students have the advantage of using the new typing tables bought this year. Betty John Holmgren McCall Frances Valeria Joseph Meyers Wojcik Yacko sixteen Mr. Joseph Yacko, typing teacher, is showing new typewriter to Barbara Bradley. A few members of Mrs. Elsie Waldron ' s French class are making posters to decorate the room. Verb conjugation is an important part of learning a foreign language. These students are conjugating a French word as Mrs. Elsie Waldron watches. LANGUAGES STRESSED Foreign languages are an important item on the curriculum of all high schools. Students have had the opportunity to take Spanish for several years at Calumet. In addition to this, French is being offered to the students this year for the first time. In first year Spanish and French, vocabulary and grammer are studied, and a limited speak- ing knowledge of the language is acquired. However, a second year of Spanish gives the student a chance to develop this further. Vonda Howell is about to hit a pinata in Miss Yatsko ' s Spanish II class. This is one of the customs of the Spanish during their festivals. Miss Pauline Yatsko ' s Spanish I class listens to a report given by one of the students. Pauline Yatsko seventeen HOME EC IS ESSENTIAL Susan Griggs is shown cutting out the pattern for a dress she is making in home economics. Miss Krone, hair specialist, is shown demonstrating hair-dos on Martha Hodge to the home economics cla ss. Esta Judith Garland Vandergriff eighteen The Home Economics Department offers a complete course of study for any girl desiring to take it. Starting with the first year, the girls learn fundamentals in food preparation and clothing construction. In the following years of high school the girls are given instruction on such things as practical nursing, maintaining a home, child care, and advanced clothing construction and food preparation. Two awards are given in the foods depart- ment each year. One is the Betty Crocker Search for the Homemaker of Tomorrow Award, and is given on the basis of competitive ex- amination. The other is the Pillsbury Bake-Off School Award. After preparing meals the girls in home economics have to wash tne dishes. Here Sandra Pitterline, Charlene Phillips, and Nancy Loomis are finishing their share of them. Watch the fingers! Paulette Victor is watching Marla Swank as she sews a hem on the piece of cloth. The library should be the integrating force in the school curriculum since all departments find a common basis in using library materials in furthuring study. To work to this end the library assistants, under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Morrison, school librarian, are trained to help in all phases of library procedure so that individual help can be given whenever it is desired. Mildred Morrison Betty Lou Wilson is checking out a library book from library assistant Donna Stassin. CURRICULUM COMPLETE Calumet High School ' s Athletic Depart- ment, under the direction of Mr. Chris Trai- coff, consists of football, basketball, base- ball, track, cross country, and golf. This program provides an adequate oppor- tunity for students to participate in a variety of sports, and with participation comes the building of individual character. Our Athletic Department has helped de- velop school spirit and to put Calumet on par with other schools in this area. Mr. Chris Traicoff, athletic director, is at his desk working on basketball schedules. Steve Bjelich Zella Doty Robert Joseph Chris Traicoff nineteen CLASSES ARE VARIED Jackie Nagy is presenting a demonstration speech, How to wash hair, in Mr. Roy Chapman ' s speech class.

SENIORS PLAN BANQUET This year ' s senior class, composed of one hundred eighty students, is one of the largest graduating classes from Calumet. The class chose their officers and members of the plan- ning committee to represent them. This com- mittee along with the class sponsors, planned the activities with much variety. The senior class is looking forward to the prom this year and the senior banquet at Vogel ' s. They also anticipate the popular senior holiday, commonly called senior ditch day . On this day the entire senior class is excused from school for a day of recreation. This year will be a first at Calumet as far as graduation is concerned. For the first time, white robes will be worn by the girls, and red robes by the boys. The girls have shown spirit as well as initiative by transacting projects that will enable them to buy roses which they will carry at graduation. twenty -four The Senior Class Planning Committee is discussing plans for graduation. The members are Norris Lohman, Nancy Kolpin, Art Davis, Pam Parry, Don Kuiper, Dave Vincent, Ron Sink, Mary Ann Harris, Marla Swank, Woody Feeler, Pat Smith, Bob Hartsell, and Velia Pichel.

The Junior Class is enthusiastically plan- ning their biggest activity of the year, the Junior - Senior Prom. They have chosen Twilight Time as the theme and it will be held in the Gary Crystal Ballroom on April 10, 1959. The class held their annual class dance on January 16, 1959. The juniors showed true spirit by forwarding a dime from each ticket sold toward the Teenage Polio Drive. Another important item for the Junior Class is the selection of the photographer to take senior class pictures. The pictures are taken during the summer so that everyone will receive their pictures earlier in their senior year. Members of the Junior Class Planning Committee, dis- cussing the Junior-Senior Prom, are Dennis Nimetz, Steve Divich, Bill Peters, Dale Appleton, Janet Still- abower, Pat Christoff, Jim Johnson, Arlene Hamman, Terry Hagen, Mary Urzik, Betty Wilson, Delores Pad- ol, and Bob Berdine (standing).

The Calumet High School Student Coun- cil is the governing body of the school. Since students elect the representatives to the Coun- cil, this is a very effectual democratic body. The main objective of the Student Council is to provide a link between the student body and the administration in running the school. A well-balanced educational program can be given because of this understanding. Committees are appointed to take care of all phases of Council activity — from super- vising the juke box to installing the officers of the Council . The officers of the Student Council plan the order of business. Pictured are Bill Steinhubel, Treasurer; Barbara Gedda, Sec- retary; Carol Mathas, Vice-President; and Dave Vincent.

Ed Hartsell and Bob Berdine were selected by the Student Council to take care of all phases of juke box activity. seventy -two Nancy Weitze, the former president of the Student Council, presents the gavel to the new president, Dave Vincent. THE STUDENT COUNCIL Have you seen the system of hall monitors that stops you when you don ' t have a pass? It was planned and set up by the Student Coun- cil. Now the hourly class absences have beer greatly reduced. The Student Council has undertaken many activities this year, and much of the progress of the school is because of the Council. The newly constructed cafeteria is managed by students. The Polio Drive this year was managed by the Student Council. Besides selling peanuts, the students made money from a bake sale, student contributions at ball games, a dance, class compet ition for Polio king and queen, and a Junior-Senior basketball game which the seniors won. Calumet succeeded in gros- sing the second most amount of money in the March of Dimes competition with $1733.58. Lew Wallace finished first in the city be- cause of a strong campaign at the end of the drive. One of the largest projects of the Student Council was the Polio Drive. Pictured here is Becky Gilles- pie buying a bag of peanuts from Shirley Kruse and Llewellyn Ligocki. seventy -three Mrs. Lillian McAllister assists the officers in plan- ning for the induction. The officers are Pam Parry, treasurer; Bill Warchus, reporter; Llewellyn Ligocki, president; Margaret Hodge, vice-president; and Nancy Kolpin, secretary. The upperclass students who have made honorable grades and also shown outstanding qual ities of leadership, citizenship, service, and character make up the Senior Honor Society. The members, who are admitted into the Society by a formal candlelight induction, all work together to create enthusiasm for scholar- ship throughout the school and set an example for the other students. One of the methods the club uses to do this is to sponsor annually an essay contest with a scholastic topic. Besides this, the Senior Honor Society contributed a scholarship to a worthy member to help him further his education. The club, sponsored by Mrs. McAllister, has several projects to finance its activities aside from a sock hop and dues from members. This year ' s main project was a pre-sectional pennant sale. SCHOOL BETTERED BY . . . The pennant sale was one of the main fund-raising projects of the Senior Honor Society. Pictured are Bill Warchus and Meta Wingard selling a pennant to Rita Rice. seventy -four THE HONOR SOCIETIES The main fund-raising project of the Junior Honor Society was a noon hour candy sale. Carol Adams and Roseann Schuster are selling candy to a group of students. seventy-five The Junior Honor Society is a club for freshmen and sophomores with high qualifi- cations in scholarship, leadership, citizenship, service, and character. The induction, as in former years, was a candlelight ceremony. The twenty-six new members inducted were guests at a special get- together meeting. Robert Garreth, city pro- secuter, spoke on his Mandate to Success. In accordance with its purpose to promote high moral and scholastic standards, the Junior Honor Society is supplying scholarships to two deserving seniors. The first scholarship, con- sisting of one hundred dollars, requires that the recipient be a former Junior Honor Society and a present Senior Honor Society member. The other scholarsh ip, consisting of seventy- five dollars, can go to any senior. As one of the most active clubs in the school, its activities are many and varied. The noon candy sale finances most of them. Miss Lillian Hamnik outlines a plan to the officers seated in the teachers lounge left to right; Janice Book, president; Barbara Tall, vice-president; Roseann Schuster, secretary; Gordon Ligocki, treasurer; and Linda Metz, reporter. S.S.S. HELPS NEEDY The officers of the Sunshine Society are Barbara Krochta, secretary; Benay Goad, vice-president; Linda Wilms, treasurer; and Mary Jane Beehn, president. Sponsor Miss Joan Johnson is standing behind them. The Sunshine Society of Calumet High School has but one simple purpose — to make other people happier. The club, composed of fifty girls, has throughout the year done activi ties to make life rosier for unfortunate people. The Society assisted the Student Council with its widely-recognized Polio Drive. In doing this, it sponsored a sock hop with all proceeds going to the Drive. At Christmastime, the Sunshine Society combined efforts with the homemaking clubs for a project. They made up twenty-five Christmas baskets containing food and clothes for needy families of the community. Mass meetings of the Sunshine Society enable the club to plan effectively the activities with the ideas of all members. Miss Joan Johnson, sponsor of the Sunshine Society, crowns Don Kuiper and Nancy Fab- ian Polio King and Queen. They are both Seniors. seventy -six Y.F.C. GAINS NOTICE Y. F.C. Officers and sponsor plan future meetings. PICTURED ARE: Kathy West, Donna Thatcher, Margaret Hodge, and Mr. Robert Smead. Speaking to the club, meeting in the cafeteria, is Charlene Woodard. seventy -seven Youth for Christ is not only popular at Calumet, but it is also organized on a nation- wide basis. Its purpose is to promote good Christian fellowship among the students and provide wholesome activities for Christian teenagers. The weekly meetings of the Youth for Christ organization are highlighted by well- known guest speakers. In addition, the club sponsors a prayer corner in the mornings before school . Perhaps the best known activity of Youth for Christ is the quiz team. Just as in athletic events, the team quizzes against other schools. Calumet High School has one of the best quiz teams in the entire area. Getting ready to jump to answer a question from the Bible is the Y. F. C. quiz team. The members of the team are Sharon Braasch, Margaret Hodge, Sharon Williams, Rufus James, Jerry McKnight, Sharon Stanford, and Mr. Robert Smead , sponsor. The Teen Age Book Club, popularly called TABS, is a club composed of sophomores who like to read. The purpose of the club is to en- large the reading scope of students at Calumet, but even those outside of the club may buy books through representatives in tenth grade English classes. You may wonder how high school students can afford to buy books. The answer is that the books are pocket sized and paper backed so they can be purchased very inexpensively. Since the books cover nearly every subject, they provide much reading enjoyment. In fact, even the classics and best sellers can be pur- chased in the pocket editions. ALL NEED BOOKS A club which has changed from a passive organization to an active one in the past year is the Future Teachers of America. Its purpose, as can be readily seen, is to further as much as possible the admirable profession of teaching. One attribute of the club is that it has en- couraged many Calumet students into becoming teachers. We need teachers badly now, but we will need them more than ever in the future to cope with the rise in population. Members of the club went on an outing to Turkey Run in the spring. Money for the trip was raised from a sock hop. To aid the teachers of Calumet, a few classes were conducted by members of the club. The project not only helped the teachers, but it also gave the students valuable experience to further their careers in teaching. The officers and sponsors of the F. T. A. are a vital part of the organization. PICTURED ARE: Miss Frances Meyers, Jim O ' conner, Carol Mathas, Gene Jongsma, Becky Gillespie, and Mr. John McCall. It is the job of the representatives to distribute the books to the students. PICTURED ARE: Shirley Sla- ter, Karen Haussman, Mrs. Alice Kingery, sponsor; Dick Jackson and Susan Griggs. seventy -eight MOLECULES TAKE TRIPS Mad Molecules, formerly called Chemistry Club, is an organization concerned primarily with arousing the interests of students in chemistry and the allied sciences. All the members are either taking chemistry at present or took it previously. In carrying out the purpose of the club, the members took several field trips. The most in- teresting one was to Inland Steel. The guides gave a tour, explaining all the processes and pointing out everything of interest. The meetings were arranged so as to have a guest speaker at alternate meetings. Subjects of discussion ranged from Careers in Chem- istry to Varnish Used on Famous Violins. Assisting on Science Fair projects is a side interest of the club. Every year more students become interested in doing extra- curricular science projects. Mr. Walter Murzyn, sponsor of Mad Molecules, watches the officers of the club perform an experi- ment. The officers are Benay Goad, secretary-trea- surer; Barbara Krochta, vice-president; and Bill War- chus, president. Bill Warchus presides over the project committee. Seated are Margaret Hodge, Leonard Sajda, Jim Swinson, Gordon Ligocki, and Keith Boger. When there is a meeting of the club, the lab is always packed because of the large attendance. seventy -nine GIRLS PREPARED . . . Many girls at Calumet are preparing them- selves for the future by belonging to the Future Homemakers of America. Each year the nationally affiliated organi- zation has a goal. The girls try to improve the school, their homes, the country, and them- selves. This year ' s goal is to forward interna- tional good will. The club sponsored foreign students in a trip to Chicago and had confer- ences to learn more about other countries. Several projects were set up to prepare the girls for marriage and motherhood. The members met in different homes and had minis- ters of various denominations speak on the sub- ject. They also had a mother and daughter grooming program. Every new member is initiated twice — once informally for enjoyment and good sportsman- ship, and once formally to officially induct members into the club. The club ' s activities continue into the summer with a state convention and club meetings. The activities of the F. H. A. are planned by the officers and sponsor. PICTURED ARE: Mona Valencia, Joanne Murphy, Karen Hamersly, Judy Coffman, Jackie Nagy, Roseann Schuster, Susan Griggs, Mrs. Judith Vandergriff, and Be tty Davis.

At Christmas time the girls of the Homemaking club sent gifts of food and clothing to needy fam- ilies of the area. Some of the girls who helped were; Marilyn Scott, Barbara Kemper, Carol Cron- tz, Aletha Mahaffey, Gloria Gray. SECOND ROW: Janet Harms, Nancy Fabian, Norma Loveless, Mar- tha Hodge, Meta Wingard, Carol Gawlick, Helen Scott, Bernadette Zenone, and Barbara Rister. FOR YEARS TO COME Homemaking Club members enjoy a party at Christ- mas time. The Homemaking Club is a club to pre- pare high school girls for making a home after they graduate. Every year at Christmas the club tries to spread good will by making Christmas baskets for less fortunate families. Not only the club members, but also other students of the school donated clothing and toys. Food was purchased with money from the treasury. Members made up the baskets so that they would contain necessary food and clothing for the family and toys to make Christmas more enjoyable for the youngsters. The bas- kets were delivered to six worthy families of the area. New members entering the club and sen- ior members leaving the club are both served complimentary luncheons. Bake sales are the only fund making pro- ject of the club, but here a little money does a lot of good. eighty -one One of the main projects of the Varsity Club is to buy letter jackets for those winning three letters in one sport. PICTURED HERE ARE, FRONT ROW; Jim Cherven, Bob Dobis, Ron Sink, Dean Ols, and Mac Young. SECOND ROW: Woody Feeler, John Meschede, Ed Caplinger, Richard Seeley, Jim Cannon, and Parker Lucas. VARSITY CLUB WORKS Officers of the Varsity Club are, Woody Feeler, secretary; Ed Caplinger, vice-president; Ron Sink, president; and Mac Young, treasurer. The boys in the Varsity Club are proud to wear the C for Calumet. Those who join the Varsity Club must first have earned a major letter. Members work hard together during the year to earn money for jackets which are awarded to the boys who have earned three major letters in one sport. Previously, most o f this money was brought in from selling concessions at basket- ball games. But now, a new project is to sell programs and make profits from the advertising. The most interesting Varsity Club activity is the Homecoming football game and the crowning of the queen. Nominations are made by senior members of the football team. This year, the Varsity Club combined ef- forts with the F. H. A. for the Luck of the Irish Ball. eighty -two Concessions is the largest source of income for the Varsity Club. Here, Cleophus Brown sells candy to Carol Cooper. SERVICE CLUBS PREVAIL Gathered around Paul Umlauf ' s car are the Drivers Club committee members and officers. They are Woody Feeler, President; Paul Umlauf, Treasurer; Tyrone Spinks, Vice-President; Don Kuiper, Ron Sink, Steve Divich, and Bob Dobis. Many students at Calumet have to drive to school either because of working con- ditions or for their own convenience. For this reason a drivers club was organized so they may work together for their own safety and the protection of others. Each member has to fill out a question- naire concerning his car, his license, and his insurance, with his parents ' consent. With this questionnaire they sign a vow to follow the safety rules of the club. In order to use the school parking lot each student should belong to this club and receive a parking permit sticker. This year the club has taken as its re- sponsibility keeping all drivers on the school grounds during lunch hours and keeping the steps to the parking lot clear of snow and ice. As a fund making project, the club sponsored a sock hop. Because some of our teachers need edu- cational films t o supplement classwork, a projectionist club was organized so that the students might show these movies and bet- ter their understanding in the movie arts. The club consists of students who are interested in projection equipment. They are taught the fundamentals of this equipment, especially of movie projectors. Their duties are to show the movies that our teachers sometimes use in their classes, and other- wise aid teachers by showing slides if nec- essary. Threading the projector is Margaret Hodge, Secretary - Treasurer of the Projectionists. The other officers are Jim Swinson, President; Mrs. Morrison, Sponsor; and Jim Kostelnik, Vice-President. eighty -three G.A.A. GIVES BALANCE . . . The Girls Athletic Association provides recreation outside of school for the girls. Every Thursday evening after school the mem- bers meet to participate in a seasonal activity. The sports played are line soccer, German bat ball, basketball, tumbling, volleyball, baseball, and bowling. In addition to the after school activities, the club has gone roller skating, swimming, and on a hayride. The club also holds an annual spring pic- nic . Besides the many activities, G.A.A. has traditionally held an informal initiation. Every girl in the club has once gone through the ordeal of being initiated. An annual banquet is also held, and contrary to most banquets, the individual classes furnish their own entertainment. The food is made and served by a catering ser- vice. Each year the senior girls in the club place and decorate a tree in the main en- trance to spread the Christmas spirit. The G.A.A. Ball is the highlight of the year. This is one dance the girls can ask the boys. Pictured here is the decorations committee for the G. A. A. Ball. Members of the committee are (sitting) Benay Goad, Nancy Kolpin, Pam Parry, (standing) Sis Dominick, Susan Gillespie, Linda Biggerstaff, Judy Friant, Linda Wilms, Lana Will- iams, and Patsy Matheny. eighty -four Every year, the G. A. A. puts up a Christmas tree in the main entrance to help spread Christmas cheer. Ready to call a G. A. A. meeting to order are Mrs. Zella Doty, Sponsor; Janet Stillabower, Treasurer; Nancy Kol- pin, President; Marilee Poortinga; Delores Padol, Vice- President; and Mrs. Lela Cooke, Sponsor. The G. A. A. Ball is one of the major activities of the Girls ' Athletic Association. THROUGH RECREATION Janet Stillabower, the man on the street, interviews Susan Griggs in a skit held on Loyalty Day. One purpose of the G. A. A. is to provide recreation for girls. Skating is one of the various seasonal activities. New members being admitted into the club must go through a rigorous informal initiation. eighty -five This is the first year a French course has been offered at Calumet, and due to the in- terest of the students, a French Club was or- ganized. The club promotes greater interest in French by planning their activities in French style. The French name of the club is Cercle Francois. During the Christmas season the club members carolled in French. For the interest of the parents, a demonstration of how a French class is organized was given at a Parent-Teachers Association meeting. As a fund raising project, the club spon- sored a French Twist sock hop. As a twist the girls were to open the doors for the boys, take his coat, ask him to dance and do other favors for him . The officers of the French Club gather around the blackboard for discussion. They are Susan Griggs, Treasurer; Kay Daniel, Secretary; Mrs. Elsie Waldron, Sponsor; Janet Tovsen, Pres- ident; and Barbara Dusseau, Vice-President. LANGUAGES ACCENTED The officers of Pan-Am better their knowledge of Spanish by reading some Spanish literature. The officers are Ron Sink, Treasurer; Delores Padol, Secretary; Miss Pauline Yatsko, Sponsor; Ed Hart- sell, President; and Llewellyn Ligocki, Vice-Pres- ident. The Pan Am Club consists of all students who are taking a second year of the Spanish language. In order to advance their know- ledge of Spanish customs and traditions, the members give talks on these topics at their meetings. For their first activity the members held a party at Dennis Nimetz ' s home. The party took place in a Spanish atmosphere, com- plete with decorations and a dinner of Span- ish food. Even the table settings were in the mode of Spain. After the success of one party, the club held another one at Peggy Oliver ' s home. An interesting highlight of this party was the exchanging of silly gifts among the mem- bers. In completing the year, the club took a trip to Chicago to see the hit movie, Gigi , and held a group banquet at a fash- ionable restaurant after the movie. eighty -six AIDES SELL SUPPLIES For the convenience of the students at Calumet High School, Bookstore Assistants open the bookstore in the morning so they may buy notebooks, paper, and other sup- plies before they go to their morning classes. The bookstore is also open during the lunch hours for supplies and light refreshments. Students have taken the bookstore as their own responsibility, and it is completely run by students working on their own time. The Bookstore Assistants is the name given to the organization composed of girls which operates this venture. Besides selling snacks and supplies, these girls also collect dues and fees for various clubs as a special service. Arlene Hamman and Barbara Kalita sell all kinds of supplies in the bookstore. Macie Klutts checks out a book for Pat Coulitsis. This year Calumet ' s library is free from classes and it is open to all students and teachers for study and reference. For the first time it can be used as a library in full capacity instead of a classroom. Library Assistants is the name of an or- ganization that helps in the operation of a well-organized library. The members are always prepared to assist anyone in finding reading material and references. Each hour two assistants are in the library to check out books and keep every- thing in order. eighty -seven PLAYS TAKE SPOTLIGHT • • • Interior decorating? No its the paint crew preparing the scenery for the first play of the year. Pictured are: Karen Hamersley, Barbara Kalita, and Kathy West. Susan Gillespie and George Bugarin display their talents in the Broadway comedy Susan Slept Here. High school is an ideal place for the stu- dent to actively participate in the theater. The enchantment of acting is a wonderful thrill and naturally, every member wishes to be in the cast. But since most plays are written with relatively few characters, this is impossible. Even though only a handful of the mem- bers are in the play, those who are not may still be active in the club, because no play can be performed without crews. This year the Players performed two plays. The first was Susan Slept Here, a delight- ful comedy, and the widely acclaimed Laura. The latter was the first straight dra- ma attempted by the Calumet Players. From the box office receipts the club went to see a professional play in Chicago and dined afterwards in a local restaurant. To the average student, a play might be incidental; but to one of the Players, it is full of wonder. The business end of the production is carried on by the officers and sponsor of the Players. Pictured Are: Susan Gillespie, secretary; Linda Biggerstaff, presi- dent; Velia Pichel, vice-president; and sponsor Mr. Roy Chapman. eighty -eight Laura was the first completely dramatic play attempted by the Calumet Players.

Puffing ouf the Chieftain is a large re- sponsibility, and well it should be, because it is the only permanent record of the events through the whole school year. The yearbook really began last summer when the editors. Bob Hartsell and Llewellyn Ligocki attended the High School Journalism Institute at Indiana University. By the time school resumed in September, a rough out- line of the year ' s work was ready and the staff swun g into action. The advertising drive at the beginning of the school year brought in a large share of the money needed to finance the book. This year ' s book has many firsts, in- cluding the colored end sheets which were nationally publicized. The Chieftain is fol- lowing true to a pattern — it is progressing with the school . Photographers, Gene Van Vleet and Ted Sanders, read the instructions to see how the flash attachment works. Finding layouts in the file cabinet is Dave Vincent, sports editor of the Chieftain.

It is read by not only students and their parents, but also by editors of other papers and subscribers in various parts of the world. The Warrior staff has more than an aver- age school assignment. It has an obligation to its subscribers to give an accurate ac- count of new and coming events. As a supplement to straight news stories, the Warrior has enough feature columns to satisfy any reader.

At the Loyalty Day program they were in there helping the cheerleaders build school spirit. At Christmas time the band appeared in the Yuletide Festival, accompaning some of the acts. It also gave a beautiful version of Swing Lo Sweet Chariot. Last spring the Music Department put on the annual cake walk and dance at which the Dance Band participated. They also attended the Music Convention where they learned new techniques and ways of presenting their musical selections. ninty-six TWIRLERS LEAD BAND Calumet ' s thirteen high-stepping major- ettes, wearing colorful red and white uni- forms, have led the band in a satisfactory season.

Ron Sink was the only player returning from last year ' s starting five, so head coach Chris Traicoff had to start from scratch to build up this good team. The Warriors were one of the shortest teams in the area, but the great team spirit and a lot of speed gave Calumet its 16-4 record . Parker Lucas, senior guard, led the team to its respectable record with his blinding speed, hard driving, and deadly outside shooting. He was Lake County ' s leading scorer, averaging over twenty-two points per game. Ron Sink ' s rebounding and inside shooting kept the Warrior adversaries from catching up. The defensive play of Woody Feeler high- lighted the season. The other starting posi- tions were rotated because of the good bench. However, at the end of the season. Bill Alexander and Essie Hill rounded out the starting five. Next year ' s team should inherit a lot of good players. Head coach, Mr. Chris Traicoff, checks the calendar to see when the next game is scheduled. VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM, KNEELING: Woody Feeler, Parker Lucas, Wardell Brown, McKinley Young, Jim Cherven.

But the Warriors pulled a surprise play by upsetting the Blue Raiders 67-63 in a very exciting battle. Calumet trailed throughout most of the game, but caught and surpassed the strong Tolleston team in the final minute of play. Calumet, then favored to win over the Norsemen of Emerson, were stumped by the excellent shooting and rebounding of the Emerson team. The Norsemen got off to a fast start, but lost the lead to a late Warrior rally. Then Emerson made a desperation shot to win 62-60. With the good teams gone Roosevelt won the Sectionals. Speedy guard, Parker Lucas, drives for a lay up and cashes in on two points. Center Ron Sink lacks a few inches of control ling the tip against Portage. The basketball managers are Gene Jongsma, Larry Berdine, Ed Hartsell, and Dan Shudick.

Calumet ' s Junior Varsity, under the di- rection of Steve Bjelich, had an impressive record of twelve wins and three losses. Since the team preceded the varsity in most games, they met many good teams. The Warrior B-team lost their opener to Gary Roosevelt by the overpowering score of 44-28. But the Warriors made a six game winning streak by beating East Gary, Mer- rillville, Crown Point, Dyer, Hebron, and Wirt. However, the Panthers of Griffith ended the streak by beating the Braves 51-45. In the next game the B-team beat Rensselaer by one point, 47-46. The final Calumet loss was to Bishop Noll 45-38. Gary Edison fell to the Warrior attack as did Portage, Horace Mann, Chesterton, and Winamac. one hundred six Mr. Steve Bjelich is not only the reserve team coach, but he also is in charge of all supplies and athletic equipment. PAPOOSES REBUILD Freshman coach, Mr. Pete Kokinda, shows Richard Hixon how to hook a shot past an opponent. Guarding him is Tommy Howard. In the past years of freshman basketball. Calumet has never had a losing team. However, this year ' s team was not able to surpass the five hundred mark, as it came up with four wins and nine losses. It is hard to pin-point the poor record on any one thing, but the lack of suf- ficient material is probably the biggest factor. The freshman victories were over Crown Point, Dyer, Griffith, and Munster. The losses were to East Chicago Washington twice, Bishop Noll twice. East Chicago Roosevelt, Gary Roosevelt, and Hammond Clark. This tough schedule probably gave the Pa- pooses enough experience to aid them in their B-team campaign next season. But it will take a lot of hard work and determination to carry on Calumet ' s tradition of winning B-teams.

TEAM BETTERS RECORD The Warriors gained their first varsity win in three years of football when they beat Gary Froebel at Gilroy Stadium in the second game of the season. It is apparent that this year ' s te am is the best to come along in the school ' s history. In coaching the team to a respectable 3-4-1 record Bob Joseph has done a good job. On the whole, the team has improved a great deal over the teams of previous years which failed to win a varsity game. The team ' s strongest feature was its stunning ground attack, since the Warriors gained more total yards on the ground than the opposition. Pass offense and de- fense was the weakest part of the Calumet attack. The opposition gained nearly twice as much yardage passing as the Warriors in the eight games played. Ed Caplinger, Calumet ' s star fullback, was voted on the all -state team by both the Associated Press and the United Press Inter- national. Caplinger, a senior, gained more total yards than anyone else on the team. Next year ' s prospects look good because of many promising underclassmen. The scrappy Calumet line did an out- standing job in holding back the opposing lines, because many times the Calumet ad- versaries had linemen who substantially out- weighed those of Calumet. This fighting spirit is the same spirit that has kept the team in contention, even against the high- ly-rated schools. This year of football at Calumet has started what may well be a long string of successful seasons. one hundred eight WARRIORS In the opening game of the season Calumet lost to the Merrillville Pirates 26-6. The Warrior defense wasn ' t up to par and it made them an easy mark. Just two days later the Warriors sur- prised an overconfident Froebel team 19-6. This gave the team its first var- sity win in the school ' s history. The spirited Warriors gained an easy victory over the inexperienced River Forest squad 31 -0. The fourth game of the season was won by Griffith 21-13. In the final quar- ter the Warriors came to within one point, only to have the Panthers pull away. The East Gary Eagles equalled us when they produced the only tie game of the year 14-14. If the Crown Point game had ended at the half. Calumet, leading 7-6, would have chalked up another win. But the Bulldogs perked up and won handily, 61-7. Acquiring nearly a third of their penalties against Penn High of Mishawaka, the Warriors fought to their third win of the season 14-7. The final game of the season found Bishop Noll the victors 27-14. Calumet was completely outflanked by the Noll Warriors .

Manager Cleophus Brown comes to the rescue during the timeout periods with cold water for everyone. When Calumet High School was constructed, the builders did not include an athletic field for football, baseball, and track. However, at the start of the 58-59 school term the students re- turned to find that work had begun to correct this mistake . Although hopes were high that the field would be finished before the football season, progress was slow. But near the end of the football campaign the field was almost com- plete. The bleachers, lights, sod, and cinder track had been installed. Still missing were goal posts, scoreboard, and enclosing fence. The freshman football team was the first to use the field. The whole school was pre- sent when the field was inaugurated with a B-team victory over River Forest by a score of 12-0. At last Calumet has an athletic field. No longer will we have to use the Griffith High School field for Homecomings and other home games. This is another step in the progress of athletics at Calumet. Ed Caplinger tries to bulldoze his way over an East Gary tackier as Bud Carr runs interference for him. one hundred ten Giving Elmer Hart and Dave Alv- arado, freshman captains, pointers on line play is coach Dan Kachat- uroff. FROSH HAVE GOOD YEAR The Calumet freshman football team, coached by Dan Kachaturoff, had a win- ning season this year. Since they had a final tally of five wins against three losses and one tie, it certainly looks as if the Warriors will have a number of good players coming up for next year ' s varsity. The freshman gridders opened their season with Gary Froebel and came away with a win, which matched the varsity win over the same school. The final score was 2-0 on a safety in the third quarter. Both teams fought hard with their offenses and defenses equal. But when the Calumet and Froebel B-teams met it was a different story as the Blue Devils came back with a victory 13-0. The Warriors moved into scoring position several times, but they were unable to score against the strong Froebel defense. Playing on a rain drenched field, the Calumet freshmen went down to defeat at the Pirates home field. When the smoke cleared the Warriors were ahead 14-12. Our conversions decided the game. The final score of the Calumet- Horace Mann game was 7-7. The War- rior defense held a tough Horseman team scoreless in the last half, as both teams scored in the first half. Dyer was no match for even the sec- ond string team as the strong Warrior line made possible a 14-0 victory. With three wins under their belts, the unpredictable freshmen took on a highly- regarded Munster team and won 20-14. Sparked by a brilliant backfield, the team showed more promise than in any previous game. Calumet scored in every period except the last and held Munster scoreless for the first half. In the final game of the season. River Forest proved to be the last link in the chain of five wins. The final score was 12-0, as the Warriors continually pressed River Forest backfield men backwards. one hundred eleven Helping coach Chris Triacoff check in sweat suits is manager Gene Jongsma. CC-TEAM STANDS OUT The Warriors lost the opening meet to Hobart 1 5-41 , as they started off on the wrong foot. Since the Brickies were last year ' s state champions, the boys didn ' t lose too much spirit in their defeat. Just two days later the Calumet harriers soundly beat Lowell 18-39. The next contest was a triangular meet with River Forest, East Gary, and Calumet competing. The Warriors came out on top with 15 points to River Forest ' s 45 and East Gary ' s 60. Since Calumet took the first five places, the other schools didn ' t have too much of a chance. The Warriors not only beat E. C. Roosevelt 19-41, but two of the team ' s finishers, John Neely and Rich Seeley, broke the school record by seven seconds. The new record was 9:57 for the two-mile course. With a winning streak of three meets in a row, the Warriors traveled to Crown Point where they were dumped 23-32. However, the team came back in fine style to beat Griffith 23-32. As Calumet defeated Hammond Mor- ton 24-33, John Neely broke the school ' s one hundred twelve record with a very fast time of 9:48. Gary Roosevelt was the next victim of the War- riors by a score of 15-40. Chesterton fell to the Warriors in the final meet of the campaign 26-33, as Calumet finished out the season with four straight victories.

Twen- ty area schools participated in the meet, and Calumet was topped only by Hobart, last year ' s state champion. John Neely was third with a time of 9:49, only one second off his own school record, set earlier in the season. Rich- ard Seeley placed fourth with 9:54. The other runners to place for the Warriors were Art Hartman, Dennis Nimetz, James O ' Connor, Victor Florez, and Jerry Park. Competing in the finals were the best schools in Indiana. When it was all over the Warriors found themselves in ninth place, ahead of all other Calumet area teams ex- cept for the Hobart Brickies, who were sev- enth. John Neely again Calumet ' s top fin- isher, as he came in eighth, had a time of 10:03. Two other Calumet boys were con- tenders. Richard Seeley ran eighteenth and Art. Hartman finished fifty-sixth.

For the past few years Calumet ' s track teams have been among the best in the whole area, and last year ' s team was no exception. With four new records set last year. Calumet went on to a very successful 10-3 record for the season. The records set were as follows: in the mile, 4:42.8 by Dan Florez; in the half mile, 2:04.5 by Don Jewell; in the 440 yard dash, 53.9 seconds by Parker Lucas; and in the broad jump, twenty feet eight inches by Glenn Cole. McKinley Young and Dave Stevens were the only ones to qualify for the regionals, although they didn ' t break their own previous records during the season. However, regional competition was too much for the boys and they didn ' t qualify for the state meet. Mr. Chris Triacoff and Mr. Steve Bjelich, track coaches, go over the prospects for this year ' s season. Track managers Ronnie Howard and Larry Berdine put in an order for some equipment. one hundred fourteen The rope device you see is to help dash men to stay low when they start a race. This gives them faster takeoff. THINCLADS Most of last year ' s best men will be back this year along with some very promising new prospects. Mac Young will be returning for this season to try and break his record in the 180 yard low hurdles. He will also be one of the top men in the high jump. The 440 will again be run by Parker Lucas, who holds the school record in this dash. Avery fast man, Essie Hill, will run both the 100 and 220 yard dashes. A top- notch cross-country runner, John Neely, will run the half mile, along with Jim O ' Connor and Art Hartman. The mile will be run this year by letter- man Richard Seeley and two sophomores, Vic Florez and Jerry Park. Bill Peters will get help from Jim Cannon and Ed Caplinger in the shot put, but Dennis Nimetz will have to go the pole vault alone. Bill Peters practices his shot put form as the other throwers on the track team watch. Coach Traicoff sets his watch as the runners start out on a practice jaunt all bunched up. At the finish of the same race the runners are spread over the whole track, and Rich Seeley shows his win- ning form by leading the field. one hundred fifteen VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM, KNEELING: Woody Feeler, John Neeley, Bob Jackson, Manuel Lozano, Rudy Serrato, Lonnie Bewick, Tim Fizer, STANDING: Jim Hick- el, Manager, Ron Woosley, Ed Caplinger, Bill Alexander, Ivy Louden, Lewis Go- ocher, Dave Christy, Skip Becke, Alvin Hill, Manager. Baseball coach, Mr. John Shinovich, shows the team how to bat correctly. BASEBALL Covering second base are Tommy Howard, Fred Belo- shapka, and Avon Shepard, one hundred sixteen Coach John Shinovich ' s Warrior baseball learn last year wound up its season with a record of six wins and six losses. In defeating some of the area ' s top teams, the 58 War- riors turned in the best record in the history of baseball at Calumet. The outlook is even brighter for this year, because seven of last year ' s starting team will be returning. They are Ivy Louden, Woody Feeler, Bill Alexander, Lewis Goocher, Avon Shepard, Skip Becke, and Joe Woosley. The main fault of last year ' s team was its catching, but with the coming of the new season the coach feels certain that this di- lemma will be corrected. With a little in- crease in batting strength Calumet can look forward to a very fine baseball team this year. Pitchers Dave Hodge and Fred Beloshapka warm up along the side- lines of the new Calumet baseball field. TEAM IMPROVES Ed Caplinger, Woody Feeler, Ron Woosley, and Skip Becke play catch to limber up before an inter -squad game. Woody Feeler, who plays center field for the Warriors, is the captain of this year ' s team. one hundred seventeen GOLF OUTLOOK GOOD Showing Jim Spicer the proper backswing is Mr. Phil McLaughlin, golf coach at Calumet. This year ' s golf team has stirred up a lot of interest in the student body. More boys have gone out for golf this year than ever before. Last year ' s team was one of the best in the area, but it did not have enough depth to stay in contention when a regular was out. With three of the top five returning this year, the team is in fine shape. Bob Dobis, a senior, will be back to lead the squad this year. To back him up, Jim Spicer and Ron Sink will be returning. Of the new prospects four or five will be chosen to be on the team. These play- ers give coach McLaughlin a bright out- look for a good team this year. This year the golf team has co-captains. They are Ron Sink and Bob Dobis. Putting their clubs together to sign- ify a good season is the golf team. The members are Reinhold Krone, Bill Warchus, Dave Vincent, Bob Dobis, Ron Sink, Jim Spicer, Bruce Bigelow, and Richard Lee. one hundred eighteen PEP CLUB BACKS TEAM The Varsity Cheerleaders are Paulette Victor, Judy Friant, Becky Gillespie, Terry Hagen, and Susan Gillespie. The Pep Club, newly organized by the Girl ' s Athletic Association this year, yelled for the Calumet teams at both football and basketball games. Every year the Pep Club tries to organize anew, and this year it has done much to make it an organization that lasts from year to year. The all girl membership, under the di- rection of the Cheerleaders, did a nice job of boosting the morale of the teams and of the whole school. Because of the increased school spirit, they induced a rise in attend- ance at all of Calumet ' s sporting events. But even more, it gave the team a backing and a push to keep it winning. The Reserve Cheerleaders are Renda Rister, Sue Fabian, Susan Griggs, Janice Book, Jackie Nagy, and Pat Carey. Crowds such as these have made it possible for Calumet to have such a fine record. Nothing can beat a crowd that is all on your side. one hundred ninteen WE ACCENT OUR EDUCATION THROUGH STUDENT LIFE IDEAL SENIORS CHOSEN One of the activities that the seniors look forward to each year is the choosing of Ideal Seniors. These are those seniors who are outstanding in certain fields or who have devoted much time and effort in developing their talents. Each senior votes for class- mates who he thinks are suitable for any one of the Ideal Senior positions. It is not easy to single out a few seniors from the entire class to be honored as Ideal Seniors since many students have accom- plished distinction in various activities. Choosing Ideal Seniors helps raise the standards of the class and of future classes by setting examples for the other students. Linda Biggerstaff and Jerry Wilson are the Ideal Seniors for neatness. Tne Ideal Seniors chosen for humor are John Mes- chede and Patsy Matheny. Chosen by the class as Ideal Seniors for congeniality are Linda Wilms and Don Kuiper. one hundred twenty -two THEY RAISE STANDARDS V Voted most likely to succeed were Velia Pichel and Ron Sink.

HOMECOMING EVENTFUL Barbara Krochta and Patsy Matheny shake hands at the start of the mock football game. The referees, Mrs. Alice Kingery and Mrs. Lillian McAllister watch. The homecoming festivities this year started with an assembly during second hour. The program started out to be a ser- ious introduction of the players and coaches, but the senior girls stole the show with a hilarious mock football game. Cav- orting around with the girls were the mock referees, Mrs. Kingery and Mrs. McAllis- ter. During halftime of the game that evening, Pat Park was crowned home- coming queen by Ron Sink, president of the Varsity Club. Happily, the queen was escorted off the field in a Thunder- bird, and her court followed closely be- hind in other cars. After a halftime program of the band and A Cappella, and the continuance of the game, all went to the sock hop at the school . one hundred twenty -six SCHOOL LIFE INFORMAL Now that Calumet has a parking lot for students, many students find it convenient to drive to school and park in the lot operated by the Driver ' s Club. In the morning and after school students gather around their lockers to get their books and chat. Most Calumet students come to school by bus. Here, Bill Warchus gets off the bus in the morning before school. one hundred twenty -seven STUDENTS HAVE FUN AT Mr. Harold Strycker, principal, receives ticket from Karen Howell at basketball game.

Shirley Kruse, Llewellyn Ligocki, and Pam Parry are holding the second place trophy that Calumet won in the Teens Against Polio drive. PEANUT SELLING AMONG By the first of January everyone at Cal- umet was preparing for the annual Teens Against Polio drive. During this time such money making projects like cake and fudge sales, and passing blankets around the gym for donations were carried on. In the recent years only seniors and juniors were allowed to participate in the drive. This year, however, the complete student body was allowed to help. The underclassmen took this opportunity and went out whole-heartedly. The students, who signed up for the pea- nut drive, arrived at their posts at seven o ' clock on the freezing morning of Saturday, January 1 7. A highlight of the drive was the Teen Against Polio dance that night at the American Legion Post in Gary. Excitement filled the air when it was announced that Calumet came in second place with a total Benay Goad is selling peanuts to a customer in an , , yoq co effort to raise money for the Polio Foundation. or I , oo.
