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 -
