Text from Pages 1 - 176 of the 1962 volume:

Calumet High School 6111 West Ridge Road Gary , Indiana presents The 1962 Chieftain We will have these moments to remember . As 1962 draws to a close we find our- selves reminiscing over the highlights of the year— the work and rush of homecoming, the spirit of the student body on loyalty day, the tension of seniors on award’s day, and the feeling of accomplishment at graduation. These exciting times came and were over in a relatively short time, but the hours spent over our English texts and listening to lectures in economics will likewise remain with us. All of these-both fun and work— will be “moments to remember.” V.4 Table of Contents Page 4 20 50 68 84 136 Academics Organizations Sports Student Life Students and Faculty Advertisements t-i r - u c Themes are an important part of English classes. Here Mary Feeney and John Sankowski compare compositions and grades as Mike Meyers rereads his composition. English Is That Branch Of Knowledge Our “Ugh! English!” is an expression sometimes heard from students of Calumet High School. “Ugh” or not, English is a required subject. Students concentrate on literature the first semes- ter, while grammar is stressed during the second, or visa versa. In the first year of English, students review grammar rules, read short stories, biogra- phies, and plays. During the second year emphasis is placed on the classics, such as Silas Marner and Julius Cae- sar. American literature is studied in the third year of English. Students are also given a chance to write short essays and do composition work. For those who are planning to go to college, there is a fourth year of English offered. This tries to prepare an average student for college work by giving a review of all grammar rules, word defini- tions, and a chance to apply them in composition work and themes. Larry Nimetz co-operates with Mary Ann Lucas to portray a scene from Macbeth in their college English class. - 4 - Listening to poetry on re- cords, rather than reading it from a text, enables some students to better appreciate its beauty. Judy Blythe is shown placing one of the records on the phonograph in her class. Future Depends On Sentence structure and Shakespeare ' s plays are not solely im- portant in English. Judy Smith has the duty of giving an oral book report in addition to her other assignments. Measuring lines in poetry is not an easy task and Mike Stares- nick knows practicing will help him to better understand it if he should have it on an exam. Future American Voters Learn About This .... that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. . . .Although we say these words frequently, many people do not realize what they are saying. The purpose of each history class is to teach each student the events preceding and following the signing of this great document, as well as other important happenings in American history. World history, which is offered to the sophomores at Calumet, pertains to occurances in other parts of the world; such as, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the cradles of civilization, and Columbus’ discovery of America. During their final year, each senior is required to take a semester of government, which is a detail- ed study of the American democratic system, em- phasizing forms and functions, and a semester of economics, a study of the American production system and how it operates. Finding an informative book concerning the chapter they are cur- rently studying in history, is just one of the many problems con- fronting Jeanie Crowe and John Ferrell. Jean Streeter intends to have her letter to her congressman in the mail plenty early. The answer she receives will become part of her government notebook. Democratic Society These students appear to be at- tentive listeners, which may eventually prove to be an asset to them in many phases of edu- cation, especially in U.S. his- tory. All eyes are up front as Harry Warrens holds the attention of his classmates by giving them a book report in his government and economics class. Using a map which portrays Europe as it looked during the Cru- sades, Vivian McCoy shows the political effects of these wars. Students At Calumet Work To Secure Basic Mike McBride, a junior who has shown outstanding abilities in the field of mathematics, ponders a problem with the slide rule in his trigonometry course. - 8 - Fundamentals Of Math Barbara Nasby pays close at- tention to Roger Book’s ex- planation of angle one, while hoping she can do as well with angle two, in plane geometry. Ravette Ashby seems very engrossed in advanced algebra as con- trasted to John Williams, w ho cocks a wary eye towards the pho- tographer. From elementary arithmetic to high school ad- vanced algebra problems, students have always tried to improve and enrich their mathematical vocabulary and experiences. With a wide variety of math classes at Calu- met, ranging from general math to trigonometry, the student is always able to find the math class that is best suited to his particular needs and re- quirements. - 9 - Visual aids are very useful in the high school curriculum. Cathy Johnston, algebra student, shows us just one of the many used by the math department. A typical laboratory back- ground sets the scene as Dave Fiddler and Barbara Edlen mix a few chemicals during the process of proving a theory in chemistry. Sciences Aid In Better Understanding The Calumet High School has a science depart- ment in which students can learn the different facts and principles that are used to explain what is known and to help discover the unknown in the scientific realm. The high school curriculum includes biology, a study of plants and animals, in which students dissect different species and study their structures. General science classes deal in a general study and the students learn fundamentals of basic science. Chemistry is a class in which the student performs various experiments to obtain basic concepts of or- ganic and inorganic substances, and physics is the study of matter and energy, the two basic sub- stances of life. Morgan Lackney, freshman biology student, uses the microscope to make a close study of the different structures of an animal cell. - 10 - fVC Don Seymour finds there is an instant reaction when an acid is added to the chemical substance the students prepared in biology class. World We Live In Jim Wahlman, demonstrating the Wimhurst static machine, glances at his audience only to find the photographer is among his listeners in physics class. Jim Ritter prepares the speci- men while Wanda Hornbeak prepares the necessary solu- tion. They find there are many detailed tasks like these required in a general science course at C.H.S. - 11 - Vocational Students Prepare Since some of the student body has complained about short skirts, Linda Smurdon wants to measure Mary Gedda’s to get it just right. Rush, rush, rush— students hurry to reach the home economics room to get everything ready, for today they try out a new recipe. Everyone suddenly becomes very busy follow- ing the instructions as closely as they can. Ingredi- ents are whipped, chopped, mixed, and finally plac- ed in the oven to cook. While everyone is waiting hopefully, they prepare the table and tidy up the kitchen. At last it’s finished and everyone proudly dis- plays her handi-work. Then they sit down at the table an enjoy the tasty dishes they have prepared. For these girls home economics is a sort of preparatory training for them as the future home- makers of tomorrow. In the home economics classes, they also receive instruction on sewing, home planning, and home nursing. How to be a perfect housewife is something every girl learns in home economics class, and Kay Matia, Sylvia Nidelchoff, Era Freeman, Carolyn Sterling, Judy Monroe and Treva Belcher are no exceptions. I For Their Future Roles In Life Gerald Lowry proves to be successful in metal shop with steady hands and steady nerves-without them it may be disastrous. Metal and wood shop give boys the experience they need to aid them in securing vocational jobs after graduation. Special knowledge and skill is re- quired to operate the numerous mechanical de- vices the boys are confronted with in both shops. Before entering either specific field of wood or metal shop, the boys are acquainted with the basic knowledge of machine working through mechani- cal drawing. Here they can become accustomed to designating objects and tools by their proper name and viewing their proposed projects in their proper prospective. Then comes the time when each boy, is given his chance to put to practice what he has learned. Larry Modglin gives a helping hand to Henry Columbo in mea- suring the exact dimensions of a board in wood shop. ■ • Leland Sims, Jim Jones, and Ron Furgye are deligently at work on filing, while Bennie Haynes and Hershel Florence seem mo- mentarily detracted from their lathe work in metal shop. - 13 - Physical Fitness Most any hour of the day, should a visitor come to Calumet, he would be greeted with screams from the girls’ gym— screams of excitement or glee. These girls are taught good sportsmanship by play- ing a competitive sport daily. Some favorite sports are kickball, volleyball, softball, and line soccer. Handsrpings, tumbling, and pushups are performed later in the year. The boys’ gym classes are basically the same as the girls’. Among the more popular sports play- ed by the boys are basketball, team relays, and acrobatics. They, too, are taught from the begin- ning the importance of good sportsmanship in vic- tory or defeat. Reaching high to complete his jump shot, Charles Wethington finds tat Jim Ryan is also reaching high to take that ball away from him. Watching the action is Kenny Ring and Jim Rivers. The importance of healthy bodies is emphasized in each physi- cal education class by a thorough calisthenics program. � Requires Proper Knowledge And Conditioning “P,T,X,Z, yes, that’s right,” is the reply of Candy Ruth, who is checking the letter chart for her fellow classmates in health and safety class. Alexandria Kostick finds an explanation of the human heart rather amusing-at least when Ron Atterberry explains it. Since the beginning of time, man has tried and proved different ways for making this world a safer place to live. The students of each health and safety class are taught many of these methods. One large field covered in each class is the study of the human anatomy— what it is composed of, its functions and what keeps it going. Both health and safety play an important part in each and every one of our lives, therefore, it is considered an important subject at Calumet, and it is a required subject for sophomores. Testing the theory that one learns something new every day, Alan Anderson explores the hidden parts of the human ear. - 15 - Language, Art, And “Travel” is the keyword nowadays for many students in the U.S., even though it may not be literally. The language classes of Calumet High School give our students an excellent chance to prepare themselves. French, Spanish and Latin are each taught for two years giving the individual a brief insight of the colorful background of the countries where it is spoken, its origin, and an opportunity to learn how to speak and write it. Also, a student taking a foreign language may join the club sponsored by each. They are: Sodili- tas Porvorum Caesaris for Latin, Pan Am for Span- ish, and Le Cercle Francais for French Club. Taking a trip via the poster route through ancient Spain, are Bill Woods and Tom Wil- son, students in Spanish I. Putting practices on the board is nothing new for French students, but the question that is foremost in the mind of Doris Ohm, Joanne Kelley, and Tom Toth is “Why did it have to be me?” Music Help To Break International Barriers Jim Valentine, John Vodenik, and Ron Huber compose and prac- tice their version of a trio during band class when they have the free time. Sandy Christoff, Rosie Frank - hauser, Gloria Webster, and Marie Poremski gather a- round the piano to practice for the up-and-coming nine week exam and are accom- panied by Mary Zaharie. Students of Calumet High School have a fine opportunity to further their artistic qualities in art and music classes. Beginning crafts, the use of construction pa- per, and working with plaster and clay are just a few of the activities offered in art. A specialized study in on phase is offered during the fourth year where an interested student can prepare himself for the college life ahead. In addition, all students may enter the annual contest sponsored by H. Gor- don and Sons and The Gary Post Tribune, which requires a commercial art drawing of any garment in the store. Classes in music, band and chorus, are divided into groups for purposes of practicing to make per- fect. This is evidenced by the presentation of music and precision marching, and has thus become closely involved in the extra-curricular activities. James Sechrest is getting ready for the Christmas season by using the method of block pressing to create a reproduction of bells. Superior Positions Result Through Proper All homework is not done at home. Robbi Nidelchoff applies some of the skills she has learned in salesmanship class, to her part-time job. Making a general business class as interesting as possible, Linda Savka furnishes an interesting bulletin board for all students. 12 0 14 IS N 17 ll IS20 2I22EM2S V� 9S Guilty or not guilty?” That is the question of these students as they re-enact a courtroom trial in a business law class. Commercial Training “That couldn’t be right,” says Larry Huddlestun as he looks again at the total on the adding machine in his general busi- ness class. In order to “lick” typing I, Janice Kostelnick must know the correct way to write, address, and even to “lick” the envelope. V Showing visibly the progress she has made in business arithmetic, Marie Poremski proves herself an apt student. Calumet High School has a wide and varied commercial program to offer to those students in- terested in becoming part of the business world. The business education course consists of bus- iness arithmetic, whose main purpose is to apply the basic skills already learned in elementary school to business problems faced by every indivi- dual in his daily life such as insurance, banking in- vestments, home ownership and taxes. General business contributes to intelligent economic citi- zenship through a study of business. Salesmanship deals primarily with selling door-to-door. In addi- tion to techniques, emphasis will be placed upon practice sales talks, a sales manual, and outside speakers. Retailing covers all phases of store oper- ation includin g the most recent developments in the field, particularly in store organization, layout, buying, sales promotion and record keeping. Book- keeping consists of the learning of the principals of maintaining neat and accurate financial records. Business law defines the rights and obligations of all citizens in their civic and business affairs. For those girls interested in going into secre- tarial work, typing I and II, shorthand I and II, and secretarial training are offered. - 19 - Leisure Hours Are Filled By C.H.S. Students In Organizations Clubs play an important part in making the Calumet High School program a well-rounded one. The experiment that blew up during Chemistry Club, the hours you spent washing the lipstick off your eyebrows and the egg out of your hair follow- ing the F.H.A. initiation, ar.d the cold you got after the junior class car wash will all be memories. - 21 - National Honor Societies Provide Incentive Sell this candy!” may well be the words of Martin Ligocki to members Carolyn Lohman, Carolyn Spangler, and Kathy Ol- son. Helping to officiate the monthly Junior Honor Society meet- ing is Martin Ligocki, president; Jerry Poortinga, reporter; Graeme Thickins, vice-president; Barbara Flint, secretary, and Barbara Nasby, treasurer. Getting a product ready to sell is equally important as selling it, and rendering their services are Martin Ligocki, Roger Book, and Don Kurts. To C.H.S. Students The future of the Senior Honor Society rests on the shoulders of its officers. Planning the next meeting is David Hochstetler, trea- surer, Howard Godfrey, reporter, Jim Hodge, president, Eileen Hollenbaugh, secretary, and Mary Feeney, vice-president. Calumet’s Honor Societies provide a real in- centive for each and every student. These clubs not only give the students the will to make good grades, but also are in themselves providing a val- uable service to C.H.S. The Junior Honor Society sells candy each day to students during the lunch hours. They also sell Christmas candy with which members provide a scholarship for a worthy student to help further his education. For one of their projects, the Senior Honor Society, also, sold candy to raise money for their treasury. In year’s passed, they, too, have given a scholarship to a deserving senior. Donna Sowles, who as of February 7 had sold $58 worth of candy, is shown making another sale to Pat Schwartz. - 23 - Thespians Present “ The Heiress” And “Blithe What goes on behind the stage? It would take too long to tell! There are so many problems that sometimes the sponsor resorts to a stop, a stare, and a scratch on the head, as the cast contests with a blank appearance. Such was seen while the play “Blithe Spirit” was rehearsed. A silence falls on the audience, the curtain rises, the moment has arrived, and all eyes are on the actors. From there on a certain feeling between the players and the audience is present. It isn’t easy to achieve this feeling. It takes time and practice-- there are rehearsals, and the job of getting to know and understand your character. The Calumet Players present two plays a year. They selected “Blithe Spirit,” by Noel Coward, and “The Heiress,” by Ruth and Augustus Goetz. The plays are directed by Mr. Roy Chapman and an assistant directo r, chosen by him from the club. Anyone in the club is eligible to try-out for a play. Then the remaining members are assigned to one of the various crews: make-up; properties, light and sound, house, stage, publicity, costume, usher- ettes, and paint, all of which are vital to the produc- tion of a play. The annual Drama Festival, which is held in the spring, is also a production of the Calumet Play- ers, who started it three years ago. “I enjoy this work!” may well be the comment of Gloria Webster, member of the make-up crew in “Blithe Spirit”, as she applies make-up on Sherra Wilt. - 24 - Lights are very effective in any play. To make sure that all is in tip-top shape, George Carl adjusts the lights as Roger Toczek steadies the ladder. Spirit ” In 1961-62 Props are important in any play. Carolyn Patterson checks the crystal ball for a scene in “Blithe Spirit”. Solemnly and very thoughtfully Gloria Webster watches as Marie Sankowski, Karen Howell and Mary Ann Mikalowsky tediously alter her costume for her part in “The Heiress . Officiating in their respective capacity are officers: Laura Lud- wig, secretary; George Carl, president; and Roger Toczek, vice- president. “Blocking” a play and re- membering where to go and when during a play is im- portant to any thespian. Here a scene is being re- hearsed from “The Heiress”, the “Players” second pro- duction. - 25 - Getting in the spirit of Christmas, Jahlena Fulton and Linda Pot- chen help to spread cheer to those less fortunate by packing Christmas baskets. Helping one and all and learning while they’re busy, are the members of the Homemaking Club. Each year the girls have many varied activities, beginning with their initiation for the club’s mem- bers and ending with their spring luncheon, where good-byes are said to the senior members. And dur- ing the year there are taffy apple and pennant-pin sales. The profits from these sales go towards their annual Christmas cheer baskets, which are given to needy families, and the yearly trip taken by the club. Yvonne Webster led the senior “chipmunks,” Carol Stevens, Bar- bara Casassa and Sara Schneider in a Christmas tune, especially designed for Santa, Linda Wright, while an over-excited young- ster, Donna Wilson, made sure she was going to get what she wanted for the holidays. This was one of the skits given at the club’s initiation. Homemaking, F.H.A. Barbara Loomis formally inducts Sharon Huddlestun into the Homemaking Club by pinning the initiates’ ribbon on her. Jahlena Fulton, president of the club, leads the organization in prayer before being served at the initiation. Seated at the same table are Marcia Hunt, secretary, Jewell Gambill, vice- president, Barbara Loomis, treasurer, and Sara Schneider, historian. Lead Girls To A Better, Brighter Future Responsible for carrying on the activities of the club are Carol Wyrick, historian; Cheryl Harms, reporter; Peggy Kennedy, song leader; Rosie Frankhauser, vice-president; Betty Mead, honor chapter chairman; Judy Warren, parliamentarian; Donna Stas- sin, president; and Julie Kalinowicz, treasurer. Some of the girls of Calumet will be the home- makers of tomorow, and they learn the full extent of their duties in Future Homemakers of America. Members participate in different activities, and help in charity work. To be an honor chapter is the goal of these homemakers. In order to a- chieve this, the club must perform a certain num- ber of activities. Some of these include charity work and supporting a needy child. Dues are $1.25 per year, and any girl is eligi- ble if she has average grades and is of sophomore class standing. Suzann Carden looks over the F.H.A. emblem and creed. All mem- bers are to recite the creed at the beginning of each meeting. - 27 - Dim lights, soft music and pastel colors set the atmosphere for “Winter Wonderland”, this year’s G.A.A. ball. At the end of the initiation the new and old members joined together to sing Kum Ba Yah”, an African song that is sung at the close of many of their meetings. G.A.A. And Varsity During each home basketball game, two or more G.A.A. members are ready to check coats. This benefits not only the students but also raises funds for other worth-while projects done to better Calumet High School. Also, there are weekly ath- letic meetings where the girls participate in volley- ball, basketball, baseball, and other popular sports. The traditional Christmas tree seen each year in the main entrance, was placed in the cafeteria this year by the G.A.A. senior girls, who traditionally are responsible for decorating it. This year’s annual G.A.A. ball was held De- cember 9 in the cafeteria, where music was pro- vided by “Buddy Pressner and the Blue Tones”. One of the more formal meetings is the spring banquet at which the new officers are announced and outstanding members receive recognition for their accomplishments. Discussing the business of the club are Carole Prasnikar, presi- dent; Carolyn Jelenek, first vice-president; Barbara Nasby, sec- ond vice-president; Margar et Johnson, secretary; and Carolyn Duke, treasurer. The G.A.A. council, which decides many important matters, consists of Linda Yeager, Nancy Haussman, Marsha Wrobleuski, Sue Fabian, Rayette Ashby, Sandra Anderson, Judy Carpenter, and Vivian McCoy and Karen Bjorklund. - 28 - Club Organize And Support Sports Program The biggest attraction to girls seems to be boys. If this is so, Varsity Club is one club that would in- terest them the most. During the years at C.H.S., Varsity Club has been a highlight of school life of boys. Members work hard during the year for a common goal-to earn money for jackets, which are awarded to the Tom Howard will not let Tina Hicks see the basketball game without buying a program. senior boys who have earned three major letters in one sport. In doing this, members sell programs at basketball games, participate in a car wash and col- lect dues. All these projects add to the “kitty”. Before a boy can join the club, he must first have earned a major letter in one sport. Howard Godfrey takes advantage of club member Richard Hix- on’s services during the car wash sponsored by the club. In addition to participating in sports activities, Elmer Hart, treasurer, David Al- varado, vice-president, Har- ry Warrens, secretary, and Larry Simpson, president, be- come familiar with the busi- ness of leading an organiza- tion. - 29 - Sunshine Society Gloria Webster, Darlend Hodge, Pat Ross, and Kathleen Ross sort, wrap and label gifts to be packed in the Christmas baskets. The Sunshine Society meeting is called to order by their president, Sharon Adams. The mem- bers of the club all stand and recite the creed. Dur- ing the meeting the girls discuss different social problems, projects and future intentions of the s.s.s. This year the S.S.S. girls sold candy to help pay for medical supplies and equipment at Reilly Hospital, for the children who were less fortunate than themselves. They made Christmas cheer bas- kets containing food, toys, and clothing for the poverty stricken families in this area. In addition, each year the club offers a $400 scholarship to a senior girl planning to go into the field of nursing. As one can readily see, the girls of S.S.S. are primarily interested in helping others, rather than themselves. Planning and organizing the dance that is to be sponsored by the S.S.S. is the job of Rebecca Helton, clean-up chairman, Pat Ham- monds, ticket chairman, and Connie Goodin, decoration chair- man. Robed in their official dress is Marsha Wrobleuski, re- cording secretary, Carolyn Crow, corresponding secetary, Sharon Adams, president, Carole Prasnikar, vice-presi- dent, and Judy Shimko, treasurer, as they leave to preside over a meeting. - 30 - Music Club Help To Brighten Student’s Life “Music-- the universal language of man.” Music Club, a club that joined the list of others in the pre- vious year, gives the students at C.H.S. a chance to understand and appreciate music. The students that belong to Music Club enjoy the music of many distant lands, just as they know and enjoy the music of the United States. Just knowing and enjoying the music is not enough; one, if interested, appreciates music and broadens his knowledge and interest of different styles, origins and types of music. The club is composed of junior and senior stu- dents, and is headed by a president and secretary. A committee meets to decide the music to be play- ed at the meetings and makes the arrangements to have the records. The members of the committee are changed every third meeting. Mr. Yacko, sponsor of the Music Club, plays a recording before commencing to explain how students can learn to appreciate good music. Pat Will, Midge Charbonneau, Hershal Florence and Ronald Egen- er display one of the many popular albums that are enjoyed by the members of the club. - 31 - Students Take An Active Part In F.T.A. Pushing the club project is Vir- ginia Spiller, treasurer, Wally Shadwell, vice-president, Jan Nidelchoff, president, and Rob- bi Nidelchoff, secretary. Yes, we have a few brave souls in C.H.S. who are considering teaching as a profession when they graduate. If you’re in this category, then the Future Teachers of America is the club for you. To help further their knowledge of teaching, the members visited Indiana State College in Terre Haute this spring. They, also visited the I.U. Extension. There they were taken on a tour of the building and grounds and were lectured on the fine points of teaching. To raise money for these projects, the club made and sold dolls at basketball games, as well as during lunch hours. Panel discussions and guest speakers highlight the meetings and a good time is had by all. Dolls! Dolls! Dolls! “We must sell these dolls,” is the plea of Linda Wertz to members of the club during a meeting. Joyce Nagy and Marie Richards are entering Indiana Univer- sity Gary Center, where the entire F.T.A. organization made a visit early in the spring And Chemistry Club Chemistry Club is an organization concerned primarily with arousing the interests of students in chemistry and other fields of science. To achieve these interests the members of the club were shown films, and several speakers, connected with science through industry and education, gave talks and provided information and encouragement for pro- mising careers in this field. All members are chemistry students at present or have been in the past. The expressions on a face can often portray many things. That of Art Mathas and Randy Sanders seems to say “Chemistry Club is a real blast, but Laura Ludwig’s seems to say, “Settle down and pay your dues.” Complete attention, as one may see, is given to the speaker by the members of the club at one ol their business meetings. Deciding important matters concerning the Chemistry Club are Laura Ludwig, treasurer, Frankie Wells, secretary, Larry Simpson, president, Jim Hodge, vice president, and Jim Wahl- man, sergeant at arms. Secretarial Club Prepares For Future As Members of the 1961-62 ma- jorettes are: Laura Ludwig, (first row) Shirley Jones, Linda Wertz, Bonnie Auten, Jeannie Crowe, (second row) Sharon Hight, Pat Oberc, Elease A- begg, Roberta Ashby, (third row) Carol White, Linda Groover, Pat Bonom, Mary Getta, (fourth row) Carolyn Lohman, Becki Scott, Janice Stennett, and Coletta Crosby. £ V ; ‘i tm Learning new routines to pass on to the other majorettes are: Laura Ludwig, president, Bon- nie Auten, vice-president, Lin- da Wertz, calling chairman, and Roberta Ashby, chaplain. Not pictured is: Pat Timm, calling chairman, and Linda Beach, secretary. If someone would take a survey to find what students had the most colds during the school year, chances are the students heading the list would be Calumet’s majorettes. These girls, during the foot- ball season, are out on the field between halves to perform for the spectators and are not dressed in what is normally termed warm clothing. The majorettes spend long hours practicing and getting ready for these halftime exercises and, as most everyone will agree, this practice certainly pays off in the pleasure it gives visiting fans and those from Calumet. - 34 - Majorettes Lead Band Secretarial Club is the club that was formed to help career-minded girls to put to use the know- ledge they have acquired from taking such courses as typing, shorthand, bookkeeping and secretarial training. These girls learn to work as good secretaries before they are out of school through practical ex- perience with teachers, which enable them to secure better jobs when they graduate. Each girl is assign- ed to a teacher to act as his or her secretary, doing such work as typing tests, checking papers and handling business correspondence, as well as some personal business. Every year the girl who shows to be the most promising secretary is awarded the amount of $100. The club shows films and invites guest speak- ers to give lectures, which bring out the many facts, duties, and obligations of a person in this field. Getting experience as a secretary to Mrs. Holmngren, Carol Martin takes dictation and will transcribe an urgent letter. A representative from the Indiana Employment Agency speaks to the members of the club at a recent meeting about the tips on seeking employment. Upon meeting Jo Ellen Wright in the library, Karen Bounds, a fellow member of the club, seeks her advice on the placement of a letter Officers Dottie Cable, vice-president; Nancy Gillespie, treasur- er; Judy Moyer, president; and Freddie Brock, secretary; are well aware of the work that is involved in the leadership of a club. Y.F.C. And Language These members of the Youth for Christ occupy their minds by burying them in the organization’s national magazine. Bill Renner and Dave Fidler display the American flag while Joyce Hickel proceeds to play the National Anthem and Nancy Loomis stands by. Youth for Christ is the club that was organized for the purpose of furthering the interest and under- standing of the teenager in the work of our Lord. Y.F.C. is not only popular at Calumet, but is also organized on a nation-wide basis. The members of Y.F.C. are active participants in such programs as quiz teams and church rallies. The quiz team travels to area rallies and competes against other groups to test their knowledge of the Bible. The rallies include singing and guest speakers, who try to answer any questions which may arise in connection with the Bible. As one may see, one of Y.F.C.’s primary ob- jective’s is to promote good Christian fellowship among the students and provide wholesome activi- ties for Christian teenagers. Donna Bargfeldt, president of Y.F.C., reads from the Bible as Jim Monroe, second vice-president, Joyce Hickel, first vice-president, Nancy Loomis, secretary-treasurer, and David Fidler, program chairman, look on. Clubs Provide Instructive, Useful Activity Language is the basic of all human relation- ships. Students must be taught the form of differ- ent languages and how to use them best. For suc- cess, it is essential to have the ability to speak � nd write well, and that is what the students in Latin Club, Cerle Francais, and Pan-Am Club learn to do. The Pan-Am Club is an organization establish- ed to further the interest of the culture, customs, and ideas of the Spanish speaking countries. Mem- bership in the club is open to students who have been or presently are enrolled in Spanish II. This year the club members participated in a field trip to Chicago to see “King of Kings” and “El Cid”. The club also had other activities such as a Span- ish party in which they used a “pinata” for part of the entertainment. Cerle Francais is the club for students inter- ested in French. It presents to its members French culture in an appealing manner. The club sponsored a sock hop and sold stationery to raise funds for a trip taken to Chicago Art Institute, where they re- ceived a first hand glimpse of French art. Latin Club was organized to help the students in it become better acquainted with Latin Ameri- can culture. During the year the members partici- pated in such activities as paper drives and bake sales. In addition, the club managed to arrange a few bowling parties. Leading the French Club in their activities is Tom Mauger, president; Marvin Vandewater, vice-president; Joanne Kelley, treasurer; and Donna Sowles, secretary. Terry Taylor, president of Latin Club, presides over a meeting, while officers Mike Meyers, vice-president; Mary Green, secre- tary; and Sandy Anderson, treasurer; listen attentively. Presiding over a Pan-Am meeting is Martin Ligocki, president, with his officers Roger Book, secretary, Carol Adams, treasurer, and Jewell Gambill, vice-president. ■ n Pausing for a moment before showing a film are the Audio Vis- ual officers: Betty Mead, secretary-treasurer; Mike Meyers, vice-president; and Joanne Kelley, president. Elaine Ellch, Angela Torchia, Judy Butler, and Starr Keeling are scanning through the new books that have just been receiv- ed by the Teen-Age Book Club. David Fidler is shown checking the projector before he enters a classroom to show a film. Tabs , Audio Visual Many students find that the type of books they desire are not to be found in the school li- brary and so TABS do a booming business. Teen- Age Book Club’s objective is to make it possible for students to obtain books needed for class assignments and for enjoyable reading. The books sold by TABS are of a paper- backed type but are usually not condensed. They are purchased from a well-known company which specializes i n teen books. By selling books TABS make a considerable amount of money for their treasury, while also performing a great service to the students at C.H.S. Audio Visual is considered one of the most active clubs in the high school. The members are responsible for the showing of films in the many different classes and are also responsible for the care of the audio visual equipment; such as, tape recorders, record players, film strip projectors, micro projectors, and over-head opaque projectors. 38 - And Drivers’ Organized To Benefit Students Kenny Peterson and Art Mathas warn Steve Vuich to park his car so that it will not be a hazard to other student drivers. Art Mathas and Roger Williams feel obligated to explain some of the mechanisms of the student drivers’ car to the feminine sex; in this case, Roberta Ashby. “Heed your driving duties more than your rights, and another’s rights more than your own,” is just one of the mottoes respected by the mem- bers in Drivers’ Club. The club was organized for the many students who drive to school either be- cause of working conditions or for their own con- venience. To be a member of this club the applicant must have a C average and must be registered as an authorized driver and student. The fundamental objective of the club is to help students obtain a better understanding of the rules and regulations for safe driving. It has set up various rules concerning the rights and privileges of those who drive to school. Drivers’ Club is responsible for the actions of all the students who drive and park in the school parking lot. The members of the Drivers’ Club elected Larry Modglin, treasurer, George Vondrak, secretary, and Ken Peterson, president, to their offices in the spring of last year. - 39 - C.H.S. Choral Department Boasts New Robes Physical education class is not the only class where students watch the scales. It is not only good to know, but a requirement to have, a knowledge of the musical scales in order to enter the chorus class. A Cappella is one of the most popular organiza- tions at Calumet High School. Besides donating time to singing for charitable institutions, hospitals, and convalescent homes, A Cappella furnishes music for the “Spring Festival” and “Winter Concert” as well as concerts of their own. However, chorus class has many singing groups, that the students can participate in. Girl’s and Boy’s chorus are but a few of the musical groups that can be found at Calumet. Elaine Volk, treasurer and vice-president, displays her new robe to Sandy Chancellor, president, while Jane Charbonneau. sec- retary admires her own. The A Cappella Choir consist of: (first row) J.

Band officers Marcia Hunt, president, Linda Kelso, secretary, Jim Valentine, treasurer, Ron Hubers, vice-president, and Tom Mauger, drum major, are shown in one of their more formal meet- ings. Precision Marching Music, music, music! Yes, it flows easily and smoothly from Calumet’s band under the direc- tion of Mr. George Bortz. But it’s not all work, for the students participate in many different activi- ties. Among which are: the visit to Purdue Univer- sity for the “Purdue Band Day,” the “Village Shopping Plaza Parade,” a trip to Holland, Mich- igan for the Tulip Festival,” the concerts at Beat- ty Memorial in Westville, the annual “Memorial Day Parade” in Black Oak, and for the first time, this year, a mid-winter concert and a minstrel show. In addition, the band gives their support to the teams through their organization of a “Pep Band.” In order to have these activities, the band sells candy and has a tag day, where donations are so- licited from the citizens in the community. The 1961-62 A” band consists of: (first row K. Metz, M. Hunt. C. Peterson, B. Swank. L. Kelso, D. Ludwig, P. Duncan, C. Ash, J. Trimble, J. Farrell, C. Mullens, (second row) J. Herr, V. Drake, B.

Co-operation, Work “It’s very similar to a typewriter,” may well be the remark of Betty Summar as she looks over a linotype machine with Sharon Woosley. Hard work and genuine determination are qualities possessed by “The Warrior” staff. Each month we at C.H.S. are given a newspaper, and be- hind the publication of this paper lies the strategy, tact, and self-discipline of the staff. “The Warrior” has a monthly circulation of over 1200. It is read not only by students and their parents but by editors of other papers and various subscribers in all parts of the world. Straight news stories highlight “The Warrior”, but it, also, contains feature columns which are of interest to any reader. “The Inquiring Reporter” gives students a chance to offer their opinions about various things, and if one is in a sad mood, “Round ’n About” is a column worth reading. For the boys, the sports page is Filled with game statis- tics and information, and “Joyce’s Choices” is a column no wise girl will fail to read, for it brings her up to date on all the latest fashions and fads. Good proof reading can make or break a newspaper whether it be a school or a community publication. Joyce Nagy wants to make sure there are no errors in “The Warrior.” Decisions are tough to make sometimes, and Richard Hixon ap- pears undecided as he plans a layout sheet for the sports page. Folding papers seems like an endless job, but Sandra Guthrie and Venia Hatmaker try to do it with a smile. - 44 - Necessary Factors In 1962 School Newspaper The solemn face of George Carl expresses the serious approach that one must take while setting type. Jack Weitze, photographer for the newspaper, scans through some old negatives in search for a needed picture. Nothing is more disgusting than to be typing a story and discover something is misspelled. Linda Potchen, reporter, aids Linda Groover by checking the files on the spelling of a proper name. A smile is good for the moral and Sandy Chancellor, editor of “The Warrior” believes a smile is also good for a good newpaper. Business manager Cheryl Harms was responsible for correspond- ing with local merchants about advertising in the yearbook. As a result of her time and efforts, $1,488 was collected in advertis- ing funds. Pam Thickens, file clerk, is not just looking at a piece of paper. She’s finding out what her assignment is for the weekly dead- line. Yearbook Staff Strives Diligently To Meet Do these lay-outs! Have you written that copy yet? Those pictures have to be taken, and you had better meet that deadline!— are just a few pieces of conversation that can be heard com- ing from the publication room during the process of putting together hundreds of pictures and thousands of words that make up the yearbook. The organization, gathering of facts and the publication of The Chieftain” is a tough job, and no one knows this better than Janette Ralph and Carol Wyrick, co-editors of the yearbook, and their staff. A lot of patience and a serious attitude is essential to be a staff member. Layouts, pictures, and writing copy combine to make up the year- book. This year, as in years passed, an ad drive was sponsored to help raise funds for the financ- ing of The Chieftain. Laura Ludwig, reporter, proudly displays a plaque awarded to “The Chieftain” by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. - 46 - Believe it or not, girls can be effective sports writers. Christine Nimetz, who has always been a sports fan, came through with her contribution of covering the athletic version of the 1962 school year. February 15 Deadline Well organized equipment is essential to any photographer. Jay Terrell, staff photographer, makes sure he is ready for all oc- casions. The smiles on the faces of Co- editors Carol Wyrick and Jan- ette Ralph, who are sending layouts to the yearbook com- pany, barely express their joy and relief of knowing that they have met their deadline. The Student Council members represent the student body. Sen- ior members are: Sue Fabian, Eileen Hollenbaugh, Robbi Nidel- choff, Joyce Nagy, Nancy Gillespie, Carol Wyrick, Howard God- frey and David Hochstetler. Junior members are: Charles Bewick, Betty Mead, Sandy Christoff, Sherra Wilt, Peggy Kennedy, Janet Charbonneau and Sandy Eastwood. Sophomore members are: Karen Bank, Vivian McCoy, Sharon Wilson, Martin Ligocki, Jer- ry Poortinga, Larry Lockhart and Judy Butler. Freshman mem- bers are: Mike Staresnick, Mike Marrie, LaDonna Frye, Livvy Kilbourne, Kathy Vaneck and Jim Ritter. Student Council Begins School Year With Tina Hicks, president of Student Council, calls a meeting to order while Nancy Haussman, treasurer, Carolyn Duke, secretary, Terry Taylor, vice-president and Janette Ralph, parliamentarian, wait to hear the order of business. - 48 - Among the duties of Betty Mead, assembly chairman, is acting as M. C. at assembly programs; here a pep session. Election Of Officers Handing the gavel of authority to Tina Hicks, president of the student council, is Larry Simpson, last years vice-president. - 49 - Being a member of Student Council is an hon- or and privilege experienced by only a portion of Calumet’s student body. These active members are in charge of numerous school activities includ- ing the operation of the jukebox during the lunch hours and school dances, all full or partial assem- blies, the polio drive and all associated activities; among them the “slave sales, the polio dance and the various other ways of making money for the drive. Also, all class elections and programs con- cerned with school spirit. The members of the Student Council are se- lected through separate class elections. All presi- dents of classes or organizations are automatically included in the club. Counting ballots is just one of the duties of Jerry Poortinga, Peggy Kennedy and Larry Lockhart, members of the elections committee. “Two game tickets, please,” says an enthusiastic basketball fan to Kathy Vaneck and Livvy Kilboume, two members of the stu- dent service committee. Such Insignificant Things Can Mean So Much To So Many A thletes A sore throat, tear-stained faces, and « runny nose help Calumet High School sport’s enthusiasts to remember the football, basketball, track, and baseball games. For the boys who played, the ecsta- sy of winning, even if it was only one game for the season, makes up for the games they lost and all the time and effort they spent practicing. - 51 - Pride in the team is depict- ed in the gold statue earned as a first place in the Gary Sectionals. The 1961 cross country team consists of: (first row) L. Simpson, Ligocki, J. Jones, S. Robbins, (fifth row) T. LaGrand, D. Poor, (second row) E. Padron, R. Albrecht, (third row) D. Schreiner, B. Cudziol, E. Voiles, J. Loy, R. Owen, and M. Maxwell. R. Book, D. Kurts, (fourth row) J. Poortinga, K. Maloney, M. Calumet Harriers Prove Themselves Capable Losing only to the traditional rivals, Hobart, Calumet’s cross country team ended the ’61 season with a 8 - 2 won-lost record. Due mostly to the spectacular running of senior, Larry Simpson, Cal- umet’s harriers finished with a satisfying fourth place finish in the Indiana High School Cross Country Meet at Indianapolis and a sensational first place at the Hobart Invitationals. Providing the depth needed in a well-balanced team was Jim Jones, Efrain Padron, Larry Huddle- ston, Don Kurts, Roger Book, Walker Litherlin, Richard Albrecht and Don Schreiner. Although three members of the team, Simp- son, Albrecht and Schreiner will be graduating in the spring, sophomores, Kurts and Book show great promise in being able to follow in the footsteps of the three graduates. Last minute drills before a big meet are always important and of great benefit to each member of any team— ours is no exception. - 52 - In Sectional Triumph Ardent fans cheer ace runner, Larry Simpson, on to victory in the sectional cross country meet in Hobart. Calumet’s sectional cross country team poses for a shot after win- ning first place at Cressmoor Country Club. They are Larry Simp- son, Don Kurts, Larry Huddlestun, and Efrain Padron. Manager David Hochstetler, Richard Albrecht, Roger Book and Coach Traicoff. A first place trophy in the Short- rige Invitationals was awarded the cross country team. - 53 - Warrior Gridmen Tackle Their Way Through Although the Warrior eleven finished the sea- son with an unimpressive 2-7-1 record, each game proved to be entertaining for the better-than-aver- age crowd of spectators. The “hard luck’’ team encountered a number of tough breaks in their difficult schedule and un- der normal conditions could have changed their record tremenously. This was evidenced by Dave Alvarado’s 85 points and Ken Hamilton’s 56 points scored during the season. Statistically, both indi- viduals exceeded the total points earned by any preceding team at C.H.S. Three games were lost by a total of five points, and two games were lost by one touchdown. Next year’s team will have to fill the places of seniors, Larry Wall, Leonard Aranda, Rich Hix- on, Harry Warrens, Ken O’Deen, Dave Alvarado, Elmer Hart, Howard Godfrey, Layne Thoreson, Don Waters, Joe Garcia and most of all the cap- tains, Larry May and Ken Hamilton. - 54 - The Best Season Yet The 1961 varsity football team consists of: (first row) L. Wall, L. Aranda, R. Hixon, H. Warrens, K. Hamilton, K. O’Deen, (second row) T. Howard, L. May, D. Hamilton, H. Godfrey, T. Valencia, E. Hart, D. Alvarado, (third row) R. Burk, T. Cooke, R. Brown, R. Lee, D. Waters, E. Tall, G. Remington, L. Anthony, (fourth row) R. Sanders, C. Bewick, G. Thickens, M. Bucko, T. Wilson, R. Mantz, J. Willsey, W. Martin and N. Williams. - 55 - Dodging a Hobart tackier, Dave Alvarado sprints for another touchdown during the Homecoming game on November 7, 1961. Freshmen Finish With Using brute force to keep the Hobart defender from getting the needed yardage for a first down, Dave Alvarado shows himself to be an apt opponent. Quarterback Kenny O’Deen battles for yardage while El- mer Hart, Larry May, and Richard Hixon look anxiously on during the game with Chesterton. Howard Godfrey and Tom Howard provide the block- ing during the Chesterton game to help Dave Alvarado go for another touchdown. Kenny Hamilton, senior, was picking up valuable yardage be- fore he was tackled by his Ho- bart opponent. - 56 - Outstanding Record— An Undefeated Season The 1961 reserve football team consists of: (first row) E. Tall, T. Wilson, T. Valencia, R. Brown, W. Martin, R. Mantz. (second As the saying goes, there is always a silver lining in every cloud. This year’s freshman football team, for the second consecutive year, finished with an undefeated season. Quarterback Ernie Tail ' s superior passing and leadership abilities guided the freshmen to victory after victory. row) M. Bucko, J. Willsey, G. Remington, R. Stamper, R. Hoover, C. Williamson, (third row) D. Hamilton, C. Harper, M. Nies, G. Thickens, and B. Bittke. Unfortunately the “B” team cannot boast of an undefeated season, but was greatly improved over the “B” team of last year. With a 4 - 1 re- cord, Coach Trcka’s junior varsity show great pro- mise and should be more than able to take over the varsity football team next year. The 1961 freshman football team consists of: (first row) M. Marrie, M. Staresnick, C. Riegle, E. Tall, T. Valencia, R. Brown, (second row) C. Williamson, B. Smith, D. Brubaker, W. Cross, V. Metz, F. Leaf, J. Feeney, (third row) R. Chandler, B. Chan- cellor, D. Michels, G. Coop- er, R. Hoover, (fourth row) F. Kuter, M. Neis, O. Cole- man, C. Harper, and J. Banks. Varsity Cagers Register Many Points And Coach Traicoff talks to his ’62 varsity squad, which includes: (first row) Tom Kirkln, A1 Thornton, George Vondrak, Howard Gearon. (second row) Dave Alvarado, Ron Fortner, Tom Cook, Bob Miller, Steve Groniga, Archie Sanders, and Ernest Berry. After a slow start, Calumet’s Warriors picked up steam and finished the season with a better- than-average record. This year’s varsity team played ball below its potential. This is clearly indicated by the fact that more than a half dozen games were lost in the last few minutes. Again, this year, height, or lack of it, made victory understandably difficult against such rivals as Roosevelt and Chesterton. The Warriors of ’63 will miss the departing seniors, Vondrak, Thornton, Gearon, and Hartman from the starting line-up. Junior, Tom Kirkln will be the only returning member of the starting five. Taking advantage of the half-time, Coach Traicoff gives his start- ing five some instructions on how they can better their offensive and defensive plays. - 58 - Fair Record For Season All eyes are up, and the ball is too, in the Warriors’ first match on the floor against the Merrillville Pirates. The Chesterton match found Dave Alvarado fighting for that ball, as well as a Trojan” player, and also, in an unsual posi- tion. In the process of completing one of his well-known jump shots, George Vondrak shows no mercy on his defenders from Thor- ton Fractional South. Is it or isn’t it? The team waits in anticipation to see if Alfred Thornton’s 15-footer hits the mark during the game against Gary Roosevelt. 59 Archie Sanders and an Emerson Norseman are really juggling for those two points while members of both teams look anxious- ly on. The victorious Warriors run over to share their feelings with other members of the team after winning the Calumet vs. St. Mary’s game. Reserve And Freshman Coach Bjelich points out new techniques to his 1962 reserve team Harper, 0. Coleman, L. Berdine. (second row) J. Natale, S. Rob- consisting of: (first row) R. Book, D. Stricklett, R. Mantz, C. bins, D. Bates, B. Pikula, J. Poortinga, L. Anthony. Laying it up and in despite the defensive maneuvers of a T.F. South player, Clarence Harper contributes another two points. Finishing the season with a very good record, the 1962 reserve Warrior team shows great pro- mise in ability to advance to the varsity ranks. Clarence Harper provided the height needed for victory after victory. He was ably helped by team- mates Oscar Coleman and Lee Berdine. These three sparked the balance of shooting and rebound- ing needed for a good basketball team. With both Harper and Coleman sure to ad- vance to the varsity within a short time, Coach Bjelich will have to again look to the freshman team, who this year supplied him with these two outstanding players. ‘‘Jump ball” signals the referee as Lee Berdine gets up slowly to his feet to fight for possession of the ball during the Chesterton game. - 60 - Teams Insure Good Seasons In Years To Come The freshmen basketball team consists of: (first row) T. Toth, D. Peardon, W. Cross, W. Walker, R. Brown, T. Kinder, (second row) D. Michels, C. Wothke, D. Thompson, J. Feeney, W. Flarety, G. Yar- borough, Mr. Surdy. (third row) M. Nies, R. Poor, A. Lew- is, J. Sparks, R. Chandler, and F. Church. Despite a Dyer opponent’s superior height in blocking him, Wayne Flarety finds the mark with a five-foot jump shot. Morrie Nies attempts a bank shot after succeeding in faking out defending player during a freshman game. Playing without the help of either Clarence Harper or Oscar Coleman, the freshman basketball team finished the season with a better-than-aver- age record. Due largely to the expert guidance of Coach Surdy, new coach this year, the boys have steadily increased in experience and ability. Both coaches, Bjelich and Traicoff, expect important things from the freshman boys in the years to come. - 61 - Cross Country Opponent We They Lowell 15 49 River Forest 17 44 Crown Point 22 33 Crown Point 23 38 Morton 15 50 East Chicago Roosevelt 15 49 East Chicago Roosevelt 16 39 Hobart 31 27 Hobart 39 20 Chesterton 23 34 Gary Roosevelt 32 23 Hobart Invitationals 2nd Place Shortridge Invitationals 1st Place Cressmore Sectionals 1st Place Indianapolis State Finals 4th Place 0 Practicing before a big game, Dave Alvarado, Roy Lee, and Larry Wall get ready to exercise their respective talents.

Also during February, the “Flintstones” consisting of Ken Hamilton, Joe Rhyne, Dennis Butler, Harry Warrens, and Ken O ' Deen were leading in the fight for the champion- ship in the National League. - 64 - For Interested Boys Every Saturday morning, sounds of boys play- ing basketball are heard coming from the gym. These boys, for the most part underclassmen, are playing what is known as intramural basketball. The boys are divided into teams and each team chooses their own team name. Some of the names are the ‘Hawks”, the “Topcats,” and the “Roaches”. They then play each other every Saturday; the goal being first place in the league standings, either the Ameri- can League or the National League. At the end of the season, Coach Joseph presents awards to the members of the winning teams. The rebound goes to the highest boy as proved in this picture of a Saturday intramural basketball game. Still in bounds and ready to fight for rights to the ball, a “Roach” player gets ready to retrieve it for his team. Referees, Ken O’Deen and Ken Hamilton wait with interest to see if Wayne Cash’s free throw will drop through the hoop during the “Topcat- Roach” game. School- spirited Fans Respond To The Cries Junior varsity cheerleaders Vivian McCoy, Judy Carpenter, Julie Valenga, Josephine Orban, Carolyn Duke and Karen Bjork- lund, are junior cheerleaders in name only. Their support of the team can undoubtedly be classed as “senior” quality, and such success has come with a lot of practice after school days and on week ends. - 66 - One of the most inspiring moments in the pep ses- sions held this year, was the varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders com- bining their actions and yells to lead the student body in C.H.S.’s alma mater immediately fol- lowing the Pledge of Al- legiance. Of The Cheerleaders Practice makes perfect and in order to work toward perfection the cheerleaders hold a practice once a week to brush up on the old and practice some new stunts. Also, the cheerleaders acquired new uniforms, which the girls made themselves. In addition, they made a special effort to create a pep club in which everyone is eligible to join. To give the cheers a solid backing all Varsity Club members are required to give their support. Both the varsity and the reserve cheerleaders are chosen by the officers of G.A.A. and other members of the athletic department and the fac- ulty. Co-ordination, voice , ability, poise, appear- ance and enthusiasm are all taken into considera- tion when the selection is made. Every tribe needs to be led by a chief and every guy needs to be admired by a girl. Johnny Griffiths and Chelley Human are the vivacious mascots of C.H.S. Just as the rays from the sun shine through the gymnasium windows, so shines the school spirit of the varsity cheerleaders at the athletic contests. They are Rayette Ashby, Marsha Wro- bleuski, Frankie Wells, and Sue Fabian, captain. - 67 - Memories Of Student Life Fill A Page Of - 68 - High School History Everything to do with school is part of student life. Not only games, sock-hops, candy drives, band and choral concerts, car washes, proms, and plays but hair styles, fads and assemblies are also a part of the student’s life. School is hard, time consum- ing, troublesome, inconvenient, tedious, and at times boring, but it’s fun and we’ll remember it! - 69 - New Activities And The smiles belong to the three lovely girls who were queen can- didates in the Footbali-O-Rama. Karen Bounds reigned as queen and Doris Ohm and Carol Wyrick were attendants. Before school convened in Sep- tember, Ken McLean occupied his leisure hours by working and earning money at a local drive-in. “Long time, no see . This could be what Judy Timmerman is say- ing to Mardell Hollar while they renew acquaintances after the summer’s vacation. Welcome Back says Mr. Joseph to Barbara Flint. Both teacher and student are always glad to renew old acquaint- ances. - 70 - Old Classmates Promise Good Times This Year Harry Warrens and Ken O’Deen are letting the world know that tionals at Hobart, to go all the way down state, they are backing Calumet’s cross country team, who won the sec- Even though very few admit it, most students cannot wait to get back to school, to friends and favorite teachers, after their summer vacations. The big day finally arrives and after a day of crowding, shoving, and searching for seemingly lost classrooms, we are usually ready to get back to loafing around the house or a nearby beach. Then the first day turns into the first month and everyone is supposedly in an everyday routine. How well we will remember the extra-curricular activities, the basketball and football games, home- coming, the sock-hops, and a very important event, the prom. Truly, these will be “moments to re- member.” The meaning behind the American flag and the respect held for the people who fought for it, command the atten- tion of the C.H.S. stu- dents before a pep assem- bly. Books, Studies, And Fun Go Hand In Hand To The few minutes between classes enables Carolyn Duke and Kenny O’Deen to pause for a chat in the hall. Both the hunger pains and the urge to gossip is satisfied during a lunch hour “gab session”. To break the monotony of the school day, students made good use of lunch hours by dancing to the records on the juke box in the gym. Joyce Nagy, Robbi Nidelchoff, and Lavonne Ligocki are begin- ning to wonder if all this is worth calling for a ride home after an extra-curricular meeting. Make Day A t Calumet Sometimes the weather results in some most embarrassing situ- ations such as it did in Sharon Sellers case. After lunch is over, students accumlate their needed texts and head for their afternoon classes. This year, as in years before, groups of respon- sible students at Calumet contributed portions of their time for the benefit of the school body. They are active throughout each day, performing tasks which are necessary for the smooth functioning of the school. In the mornings, student workers make sup- plies available to the students. At lunch, selling ice cream and assisting the cafeteria personnel keep several of these students busy. Throughout the day, giving aid at various times are the gym assistants in the physical educa- tion classes, the lab assistants in the biology and chemistry labs, the office assistants in the school office, and the assistants in the library. “What kind of change do you want?” may be the comment of Donna Sowles as a student pays her for his lunch. - 74 Working together is the best way to get a job done as Shar- on Beal, Mary Ann Mikalow- sky, Judy Moyer, and Barbara Casassa, office assistants can well say. Students Aid Student The services provided by the library assistants cannot be taken lightly. Checking passes, issuing books, and rearranging book shelves are just a few of the many duties performed by Linda Hadady and Linda Schil- ler. Body And Faculty Through Their Services “Service with a smile” is a motto clearly expressed by Linda Mil- ler as she willingly sells an ice cream cone at lunch hour. Elaine Volk, senior, is not unfamiliar with selling supplies to the student body. During her four years at Calumet Elaine has given her time and effort freely in providing this service. - 75 - Seniors Headline Fads - 76 - With Their Conception of Senior “ Cords ” Square toes, though not really square,” are the latest hit in fashion footwear and are being worn by members of both sexes. “That’s sharp, fine, and tough,” are adjec- tives often used by students to describe the fash- ions and fads at C.H.S. Bows seem to be the latest sensation. They are worn in all sizes and in all colors to accent the new “ratted” and “flip” look in hair styles. In the shoe department, square toes, French heels, sweat socks, and gym shoes have come to the rescue of cramped toes and have pushed point- ed-toed shoes into second place. For that long, slinky and sometimes baggy look, fringy but long sweaters are moving into the scene. Ruffled blouses have also come back with frills high on the collar, low on the wrists and even around the bottom. The continental and ivy league look has enter- ed into Calumet’s halls, too. This year the boys have changed from the usual crew and long curly hair cuts to an all new ivy league style. They, also, go for the continental look in slacks which are beltless and tapered in the legs. “Not another one!” thinks Elmer Hart gazing at Sharon Beal’s senior “cords,” and Sharon shows her amazement at seeing an- other letterman’s jacket while walking through Calumet’s halls. - 77 Marsha Wrobleuski is one girl who is in full fashion. She h as the new short, short haircut to match the length of her skirt. Ruffles and bows combine to add that feminine look and her feet are kept warm with coordinating sweat socks. Roaring Bonfire , Powder Puffs Herald In - 78 - Everyone s attention is drawn to the opening kickoff of the tra- ditional Homecoming game. Homecoming Pageantry Homecoming gives the stu- dents a chance to display their talents in making their class float. These freshmen are Sharon Heights, Judy McLean, Sylvia Nidelchoff, Livvy Kilbourne, Janice Rist- er, Cathy Johnston, and John Banks have hopes that their float will take first place. The crowd stands, a hush settles, the teams are lined up and finally the football is kicked. Homecoming 1961-62 has started. The Hobart Brickies and the Calumet War- riors tangled that cold night of Nov. 7, but home- coming excitement really started when the first poster went up urging everyone to vote for the girl they wanted to be homecoming queen. Twenty girls participated this year, each was sponsored by a club and a $5 entrance fee was required. That first poster started everything, and from that day forth the enthusiasm was in everyone’s blood. The bonfire brought out everyone’s school spirit, for no one seemed to mind the cold and cheered until their throats ached. The Varsity Club provided the wood and the cheerleaders led the cheers. The next day, Nov. 3, a pep session was held and the cross-country team was honored. Tina Hicks, president of the student council and chair- man of homecoming, acted as M.C. This was to be the day of homecoming but the game was called off because of the fields condition. All was not lost, though, the weather cleared up and homecoming was planned for Nov. 7. The foot- ball players and queen candidates were introduced and the cheerleaders led the students in cheers to build up school spirit once again during the pep session. Now the half time gun has sounded and the band marches onto the field to the tune of ‘’Bill- board March” only to turn western and pay tri- bute to T.V. programs. Back in marching forma- tion and standing at attention they await the floats. And here they come! Slowly the senior float starts around the track. ‘Winter Wonderland” was the theme chosen by the seniors and following close behind was the jun- ior float representing spring with ‘‘April In Paris”. Not to be out done, the sophomores reminded us of fall with “School Days,” and finally “Moonlight and Roses” by the freshmen made us think of sum- mer and vacation time. Riding on the top of each of these floats were five girls, each one wondering “who will be homecoming queen?” The time is here, Terry Taylor, m.c., announces that “School Days” has been chosen as the win- ning float and Virginia Spiller is homecoming queen. The queen circles the track on the float twice and the second half begins. We lost the game but in the hearts of all is the thrill that the team put forth their best efforts. During the dance following the game, Harry Warrens was crowned Mr. Football by the home- coming queen. The night was complete when the king and queen danced their coronation dance. - 79 - Royalty Bestowed Upon Spiller And Warrens MISS HOMECOMING Virginia Spiller - 80 - At 1961 Homecoming MR.

Eating them and relaxing seems to appeal to Suzanne Carden, Tina Hicks and Judy Wyrick. Calumet Teens Raise “Stop! Help! Give for polio!” This was the familiar cry of Calumet students, January 19 and 20, during the annual “Polio Drive.” Each year the students all over the country group together to raise funds for those crippled with polio. Calumet does its share for the cause by sel- ling slaves at lunch hours, which are expected to carry the books of his owner for a day. Also, raffle tickets are sold; the prize being free telephone ser- vice for a full year. The cheerleaders pass the school blanket at the basketball games and all pro- ceeds go to the fund. The real all-out effort came on Saturday, January 20, when the entire com- munity was bombarded by teen-agers crying “Buy peanuts for polio! Give!” A dance was sponsored by the polio founda- tion after the day of the drive and the results of the drive was announced. Calumet came in second in the Gary area with $1,001.45, only to be exceed- ed by Lew Wallace High School. A motorist in the community hears the prominent cry of Jan- uary 20, “Buy peanuts for polio!”, from Elmer Hart and Kenny Hamilton. - 82 - Cold but determined to sell peanuts is Barbara McBrayer, Caro- lyn Crowe and Judy Moyer. Sharon Beal weathers the elements and contributes willingly. Joyce Nagy pushes the cause for polio by selling Frankie Wells a raffle ticket, which gives the winner free telephone service for a year. Over $1,000 To Place Second In The Area The cold, grumpy people and troubles of the ' Polio Drive” was worth it. Howard Godfrey and David Hochstetler, co- chairmen, happily admire the trophy awarded to the teens at C.H.S. for a second place in the area. - 83 - Teachers, Classmates Discover Friendships - 84 - In New Acquaintances School does more than teach us English, mathe- matics, and science. It gives us the opportunity to be- come acquainted with many personalities; for exam- ple, the basketball “star” you had a crush on, the teacher you hated because he failed you, and the girl you wouldn’t speak to for a whole day because she wore a skirt just like yours! Once these all seemed so very important, but in a short time they were for- gotten and everyone was your friend. - 85 - 1958 Found Class Of A full schedule is faced each year by the plan- ning committee and the class officers of the senior class. All activities and planning rest on their shoulders. The planning, building and responsibil- ity of a float for Homecoming is first on the list of big events. Then the ordering of announcements and name cards follow close behind. February brings the pleasant chore of measurements for caps and gowns to be worn in red by the boys and white by the girls. The seniors look forward to the prom and the The senior class officers are Terry Taylor, vice-president; Janette Ralph, president; Tina Hicks, secretary, and Howard Godfrey, treasurer. senior banquet held at Marquette Park Pavilion. This is their last year and everything is carried out in a bang-up fashion. To build up the class trea- sury and bring some enjoyment to the routine school life, a sock hop is sponsored by the class. A senior class party is held in February. On this oc- caion, only seniors may attend. They put records and refreshments to good use by all who attend. To put a top on the year, is baccalaureate services and last, but not least, —graduation night. ’ 62 Entering As Typical ' ‘Green” Freshies CAROL ANN ADAMS Biology Lab Ass’t 2; Chem- istry Club 3, 4; A Cappella 2, 3, 4; Class Committee 4; G.A.A. 1, 2; Honor Society, Jr. 1, 2; Student Council 3; Pan-Am 4, Treas.; Calumet Players 3, 4; Chieftain Staff 3; Library Ass’t 4; Madrigals 4; Chorus 1.

This was the question asked by members of the junior class. It was decided to sell candy with all profits going toward the financing of the prom. This year’s plan- ning committee worked hard to make the class of ’63’s prom a success. The wearing of a class ring does not complete the responsibilities of a junior class member. The leaders, as well as the followers, must work in a spirit of cooperation and unity, and this year’s junior class proved they could do just that. By ap- The junior class officers are Betty Mead, president; Pam Thick- ins, vice-president; Sandra Christoff, secretary; and Jackie Tim- merman, treasurer. plying themselves to each of their individual tasks, they completed the assigned projects with surpris- ing results. Without the excellent supervision and guidance of the class sponsors, the faculty mem- ber who devoted time and energy to student pro- jects, much of what was accomplished would not have been. Next year’s eleventh grade will have their work cut out for them. With good leadership, co- operation, and perseverance, they will be able to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors. - 110 - To Direct Juniors In Business And Projects Gerry Alexander Ruby Alexander Eva Allen Sandy Anderson Ravette Ashby Roy Austin Irene Bakunas Lester Barnard Loyal Beasley James Beehn Madelyn Berry Charles Bewick Judy Blythe Philip Bough Karen Bounds Beverly Brown Alice Buergler Barbara Bulkus Roy Burk Connie Burnett Dorothy Cable Linda Caldwell Barbara Campbell Wayne Cash Mike Chandler Janet Charbonneau Don Christoff Sandy Christoff Julie Clabaugh Bill Coates Grover Cochran Jessie Cook Tom Cooke Ruth Cooper Judy Creek Mary Davis Bryan Donahue Sandra Eastwood Ron Egener Jerry Estes - Ill - Linda Evans Rosetta Fankhauser Donald Fanning David Fidler Gary Finney Elijah Ford Rosalie Fomal Bryan Fox Lois Freeman Oscar Freeman George Frizzell Jahlena Fulton Kenneth Furgye Ronald Furgye Marcy Galvan Wiley Hogue Mardell Hollar Judy Hott Ronnie Hubers Mary Ann Ivanich Marvin Jackson Carolyn Jelenek Henry Jelinek Margaret Johnson Robert Johnson Betty Jones James Jones Quinton Jones Alan Joseph Alan Kallas Carolyn Kelly Peggy Kennedy Kerry Kinder Tom Kirklen William Kobeck Sandra Koedyker Janice Kostelnik Bill Kovach Doris Krone Anna Garcia Class of ’ 63 Plans - 112 - Calumet’s Most Publicized Dance- -The Prom Wayne Gibson Gloria Gillespie Rachel Goff Dixie Goodwin Mary Green Randy Gregory Steve Groninga Linda Groover Becky Guess Pat Guess Linda Hadady James Haines Pat Hammonds Cheryl Harms Bonnie Harrison Clifford Hartzell Frank Hawks Ben Haynes Becky Helton Vaughn de Henson Beverly Herr Joyce Hickel Sharon Layman Roy Lee John LeGrande James Lewter Barbara Loomis Alma Louie Jo Ann Loy Mike McBride Shirley McCoy Robert Mahaffey Larry Martin Betty Mead Karl Meyer Bob Miller Mike Motto Sandra Murphy Sharon Murphy Robert Nanny - 113 - Spring Finds Juniors Choosing Photographer Christine Nimetz Efrain Padron Carolyn Patterson Lenny Paul Earl Peters Delores Pluta Linda Potchen Milton Price William Pruit Darleen Purnell Joan Rice Karen Richardson John Roark Howard Roberts Kathleen Ross Pat Ross Tom Rumba James Ryan Kathy Ryan Archie Sanders Randy Sanders Richard Sanders Marie Sankowski Linda Schiller Lynn Schwartz Ron Schweder Danny Seberger Wesley Seberger James Sechrest Ronald Sellburg Sharon Sellers Andrea Serrato Walter Shad well Roy Shaffer Dennis Slemin Cleveland Smith Shirley Sokol Edward Sopko Joyce Sorrell Cathleen Speed 114 - For Senior Pictures Larry Stamper Bonnie Staresnick Richard Starkey Larry Stassin Ron Steuer Ricky Stigall Harold Stokes Marilyn Sullivan Betty Summar Noreen Swank Janice Teige Pam Thickins Marjorie Thomas Wilda Tigner Jackie Timmerman Margaret Torres Sandra Tracy Judy Trimble Marvin Vandewater Richard Wall Tom Warchus Willard Wedge Jack Weitze Andy Williams John Williams Roger Williams Sherra Wilt Kathy Wise Bill Woods Sharon Woosley Jo Ellen Wright Sharron Zart Diana Zurawdck - 115 - Sophomore Activities The sophomore class officers are Sharon Wilson, president; Laur- ann Castle, vice-president; Doris Ohm, secretary; and Barbara Flint, treasurer. The sophomore class officers and planning com- mittee, assisted by their head sponsor, Mrs. Filo- mae Schmidt, plan and carry out the different acti- vities of the graduating class of 1964. The most importa nt of these activities is the selection of class rings. After the class officers and planning committee choose the company and two or three different styles of rings are picked, the entire sophomore class votes on which of the three styles they want and the color of stone they prefer, if they desire to limit the color. The class orders their rings in the spring and receives them late in the summer or at the beginning of their junior year. One of the class’s money-making projects of the year is their annual class dance which is held in September. The class has also started making advanced plans for their prom — a gala social event that will be held in their junior year. In addition, the class prides itself with winning the trophy for the best homecoming float during their two years at Calumet.

The year 1962 has given the freshmen then- first year of memories at C.H.S. with three more to go. At “Homecoming” they made a good showing with the float, “Moonlight in Roses.” It gave the illusion of a lovely park scene with a white bench, and a stream covered with a bridge. The bridge was covered with red roses made of tissue, and the fence and bench were of white wood. If there’s a dance and you want to twirl your girl, you don’t stop to think who planned the sock hop; but they are made possible by the planning committee, who is also responsible for any other ac- tivities carried on by the class. Such a sock hop was held after the Chesterton basketball game in Feb- ruary by the freshmen class. The first year is the hardest, with strange sur- roundings and older students looking down on the “freshies”; but it’s traditional and everyone sincere- ly hopes the freshmen enjoy the first year at Calu- met and that the next three will be even more en- joyable than the first. - 122 - Election Of Officers Timothy Adams Diane Brown Kathy Adinolfi Doris Brown Sharon Altgilbers Kenneth Brown Mary Anderson Lois Brown Linda Anserello Robert Brown Douglas Aplin David Brubaker Perry Aran Barbara Bruce Cynthia Ash Darryl Bullock Judy Ashley Donald Bultema Peggy Bair Sherry Burke John Banks Shirley Burt Robert Basham Dana Butler Sharon Batchelor Wilma Butler Corene Bauge Leslie Cagle Shirley Baumgartner Douglas Cannon Larry Beasley Bobby Carden Phyllis Beatty Andy Carlson Joyce Beck Roger Carter Tom Becker Allen Cassidy Sandra Beckwith Sharon Cather Judith Behrndt Donna Chaffin Ken Behrndt Bill Chancellor Keith Bennett Rich Chandler Teresa Bennett Karen Chastain Wayne Bennett Franklin Church Donna Best Janice Clabaugh Karen Billings Roy Cochran Wayne Billingsley Oscar Coleman Judy Black Carolyn Collins Dawn Bocken Henry Columbo Jessie Bolinger Anna Cook Mary Boner Barbara Cooley Pat Bonham Jeff Coons Lester Borden Dorothy Cooper Elizabeth Borom Gary Cooper Mary Bough Billie Corrigan Russell Bowen Elaine Cox Charlotte Bower Barbara Craig Steve Bowling Coletta Crosby Addie Boyd William Cross Shirley Braddam Marvin Crowe Henry Brant Joseph Cudziol Jack Brasier Josephine Curley Terry Bratton Roy Daniels Linda Brill Pamela Davies Larry Brister Lovenia Davis Gerald Bronas Marilyn Davis Jerry Brooks Rosemary Davis - 123 - “Freshies” Strive To Be Worthy Of Rewards Dean Day Donna Day Sharon Day Delena Deboard Mary DeBold Ken Dees Ed DeMars James Derrington Dan Diehl Jennifer Dills Dennis Doerr Jerry Donahue Janice Drake Shirley Drake Velida Drake Tom Drwal Judy Duvall Edwin Edgington Melvin Eichelbergei Diana Eichensehr Hershall Elkins Wrel Emory Robert Eschenbaum Linda Estrada Rodney Evans Sandra Evans Benny Fauver Jim Feeney Cheryl Ferguson Glenna Ferguson Judy Ferrell Martha Fields Wayne Flaharty Mike Flint Johnny Forrester Stephen Foster Micheal Freed Era Freeman LaDonna Frye John Garcia Mary Gedda Ronald Gentry Bill Geren Becky Gibbs Fred Gilmore Pat Golden Bob Goldsmith Martha Gomez Robert Gonzales Marcia Goodan Joe Goes Carrie Greer Phyllis Griffin Carol Guess Thomas Guzman Robert Hoover Wanda Horn beak Steve Horton Linda House Mary Houston Kenny Howell Ray Hudson Becky Huffman Charles Ison Henry Ison Jo Jarman Diane Jensen Linda Jensen Douglas Johns Veda Johnson Cathy Johnston Jo Ann Jones Raymond Jones Willie Jones Nancy Jostes Joyce Junkinson Linda Haines Jane Hall John Hall Richard Hall Don Hamilton Sharon Hamilton Terry Hammack Paul Hardesty Sharon Harrell Charles Harris Margaret Harrison Luise Haybron Brenda Hayes Judy Held Bill Herbst Daniel Hershman Ivo Hicks Sharon Hight Bennie Hill Charlotte Hodge - 124 - Of High School Life Dennis Hodge Sandra Hogue Barbara Hollifield Barbara Hood Delana Malone Mike Marrie Jolene Marsh Nancy Martin Anna Hoover Ella Hoover Linda Kelso David Kemper Naomi Martin Rich Martinez Richard Mata Brenda Matthews Jackie Kidwell Livvy Kilboume Tony Kinder Linda Kinley John Matti Roger Maugherman Ronald Maultsby Melvin Maxwell Brenda Kirk William Knee Linda Kniggendorf Maria Kolarik Wanda May Marianne Maynard Bernice Merry Ken Metz Leslee Koss Sandra Kristoff Bonnie Krulik Diane Kruse Vaughn Metz Daniel Michael Karen Mickey Jackie Miller Frank Kuter Morgan Lachney Marie Langel Fred Leaf Linda Miller Ken Millspaugh Paulette Minder Linda Mitchell Zuline Ledbetter Carolyn Lee Thomas LeGrand Clement Lessner Roy Mitchell Elton Mock George Modrak Jualita Moosmiller Arthur Lewis Ray Lewis Jennie Liechty Cathy Linebarger Ramiro Morales Victor Morales Wayne Morris Jerry Moyer Eddie Linebarger Lorretta Litherland Martha Litton Henry Lorenz Connie Mullens Veronica Muncie Reda Murray James Neal Raymond Lowell Randy Lowry Jerry Loy Rena McBryant Yvonne Newsome Sylvia Nidelchoff Morris Nies Patricia Oberc David McGee Karen McKinnon Hilra McLain Judy McLean William Oliver Kathleen Olson Roger Owen Marcella Papusch Patricia McNece James Magee Linda Mallory Aaron Malone Diane Paul Don Perdon Claudine Perez Mary Ann Persley - 125 - Adjusting To The Customs At C.H.S.

The men who have the responsibility of de- cision making in the district are: Austin Moore, president, Wayne Peters, first vice-president, Har- ry Seberger, second vice-president, Robert Olson, secretary, and Stanley Forcht, treasurer. John T. Gunning, the newly appointed superintendent of schools is also at all of the meetings. All the mem- bers of the school board are elected. There is at last one board meeting a month and everyone in the community is invited and urged to attend. This year there were many new changes made at Calumet, among which are: the airborne tele- vision sets, decoration of the offices, new gym doors and others. All came as a result of the concurrent action of the school board and the superintendent. Mr. John T. Gunning, superintendent, is shown explaining the map, located in his office, depicting the twelve-mile area of Cal- umet Township. Shown at one of their regular meetings are the members of school board; Robert Olson, secretary, Stanley Forcht, treasurer, Austin Moore, president, ffarry Seberger, second vice-president, and Wayne Peters, first vice-president.

They decided (as we hope you will decide) to let Inland Steel Company help them plan their future. Some are gaining knowledge and experience in spe- cial trades to become journeyman machinists, car- penters or electricians . . . some are concentrating on certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing lines. Still others are working in laboratories building a sound foundation for a future in steel research. Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent opportunity to further his education. Employees may participate in a variety of on-the-job training pro- grams, or they can continue their formal education by registering for evening courses offered by local Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers. Plan now to investigate the unlimited opportunities for you in steel . . . with the midwest’s own steel company . . . INLAND STEEL.
