Four lettermen, Tom Wilson, Randy Stamper, Marty Schmidt and Jerry Poortinga begin a new day--a typical day at Calumet. Senior members of the tougher Calumet gridmen stand for deserved recognition at the final pep session of their last season. They retire with title no less than Co-champs of the Calumet Conference. School life sometimes seems terminated solely by the shrill ringing of bells, and filled only with the soft monotones of the teacher’s voice slowly lulling you to sleep. At other times it seems there is never enough time for anything, maybe basketball games, or sock- hops, but never time for the infinite stream of homework the teachers smilingly assign. One day we will look back on these frantic, mad, days and laugh over all the em- barrassing incidents that we cried over yester- day, remember all the old school heroes, the old nicknames, and the countless other things .... when there is time to Linger Awhile ’. - 24 ‘When There Is Deep in meditation, sophomore, Tom Phelps, stands alone at the end of a long day.

Calumet’s $1300 Contribution To The annual Polio Drive slave sale opened with the auctioning of Carolyn Duke. She was purchased by a syndicate whose members included Mike Bucko, Lee Scott, Tony Va- lencia, Bud Riegle, and Randy Stamper. The boys supplied her with a Tittle red wagon in which to carry their books from class to class, all part of a slave s |ob. All slaves were required to wear tags which read T am the slave of. . This year, Calumet students zealously combin- ed brains and brawn in one of the year s most worthwhile endeavors, and walked away with top honors. Thirteen hundred dollars was the grand total submitted by Calumet students to the March of Dimes Foundation. This was double the amount brought in by any other Lake County high school. The money was raised by selling slaves , apples, and raffle tickets to students at lunch hours during the school week. Contests, such as ' Campus Cuties and the election of the polio king and queen, were also held to raise funds. On Saturdays and Friday nights teens were permitted to collect donations in area business locations. The winning schools were announced at a dance given by the March of Dimes, and trophies were presented. Mrs. Lela Cooke, Carolyn Duke and Tony Valencia made preliminary arrangements for the fund-raising activities. Jack Joyner studies each baby picture carefully before mak- ing his donation to the ‘ Campus Cutie Contest.
