1974 Chieftain Calumet High School 3900 Calhoun St. Gary, Indiana 46408 Volume 25 The shape of 1973. The year of the topsy-turvy, crises, short- ages, scandles and wars. The Arab-Israeli War broke out on Saturday, October 6, also Yom Kipper. The Watergate situation involv- ing Republican break-in of Democratic Headquarters invaded the American scene. The question of impeach- ment of the Vice-President as well as the President was the popular query and a popular subject of debate. But it didn’t stop there, by any means. In a state of unrest TOP: Nixon, suffering from U. S. misfortunes. ABOVE: Moshe Dayon looking on the battle between the Israelis and Arabs. TOP RIGHT: Kissinger endeavoring to bring peace to the nations of the world. RIGHT : Ex-V. P. Agnew. BOTTOM RIGHT: President Nixon. Less items, higher wages, earmarked the na- tion. Fuel, paper, beef, etc. began running thin and panic took its position in the I ® 5 U. S. atmosphere. Henry Kessenger, the United State ' s angel of peace was kept busy, especially in th:; oil producing nations such as Iran. Scarcity of goods caused m prices to soar which in turn caused cries for higher wages. People were being gg given discounts not to use their charge cards. The cost of living went up 7% in ' 73, 6% over that of 72. Long lines for gasoline, and rationing commenced in ' tSi December, much to the pub- lic ' s displeasure. Also, the dwindling supply of natural gas and electricity gave a blow to Americans who en- joy warm houses in the winter and cool one in the H summer. The mini-depression- recession defined the period ® as one of many readjust- ments. They ' re not smil- ing anymore 2 the U. S. now The pace must be slack- ened in the cars, the homes and the money spending. Speed limits were reduced due to shortage of gas. Price controls were set, postage planned to be raised as well as magazines and newspa- pers as soon as the con- trols are lifted. The prediction of the copper penny being replaced with an aluminum one was made due to rapidly inflat- ing price of copper. • •••• • « • ••• • « • • r- • •••• ' 4 -. ••• The Geneva Peace Con- ference, delayed until after New Year ' s, then serious talk hoped to begin. A prob- lem in the meeting, how- ever arose when the Israelis demanded their prisoners of war to be released to them and many of them had been murdered, making prisoner lists smaller than expected. This put more weight on Kissinger than he had an- ticipated. The tension was mounting. Times prove hard Still, the year 1973 had a few bright facts. Among these were no Vietnam war, or any other U. S. involved war. Cities are not in great turmoil. Although crime is still present, it is not on the uprise. In spite of in- creased prices, stores con- tinued to be crowded and people willing to buy. Even though 1973 brought in hard times, people managed and held up. fes,we have no bananas, steaks, eggs, blue jeans, candles, gas, tennis balls, freezers,wheat, leather, air commoners, fuel oil, pyjamas, floor covering, sardines, chicken, paper, hot water bottles... summer . . . . 8 fall 54 winter 94 spring 120 advertisements . . 152 3 Bring- ing back the ‘ 30 ’ s Spirit week, September 24th to 28th, led to the homecoming game as stu- dents participated in the yearly tradition which con- sists of one week of fun. I enjoyed dressing up as a gangster or an Indian and making the most out of my last year, so I might have something to look back on and bring back memo- ries, said senior Rene Casteneda. Spirit week is a good time to show the football players that we students are behind them all the way, said junior Dan Davis. Student participation seems to increase as the years go by. For seniors, it is the last time they could express how much spirit they had at CHS. Calumet students ap- preciate getting a few hours off from school to go over to the Cinema, sit back and relax, and watch a good movie, eating popcorn and candy, along with drinking a cold glass of pop. Three- fourths of the glass filled with ice. Those were the days. Movies are held at least once a month. Said Paul Borlick, I think the students should have some time for other activities outside of the daily routine of school - work. This form of entertain- ment is a good way to re- lease our tensions and emotions said junior Pete Chairmonte. For seniors, I think the movies give us an extra chance to be with our friends, get a few good laughs in, and make the most of our last year at Calumet because if we ever come back it would be like a visit and will never be the same again , said Irma Mo- rales. We can never turn back time. 4 TOP: Struck by the energy crisis many people turned down their thermostats and stayed home.

W. ’s and tapes The fall of 1974 was a time of dwindling gas, countless P. 0. W. ' s being reunited with their loved ones and continuous probing on Watergate and Nixon ' s White House Tapes. CHS students were very aware of these situations. The gas problem would effect them directly. The P. O. W. re- turn and the Watergate situation was often a topic of classroom discussion. Whether pro -war or anti- war, kids overall were re- lieved and elated at the re- turn of our Prisoners of War. The progress of the Watergate trial and de- mands for the President’s telephone tapes interested students as they formed their own rational opinions. 1L, FIRST LET ME EMPHASIZE MV COMPLETE FAITH iN Ol PGE SIRICA E) A GREAT JURIST (CZyCK) ....

The children now love luxury; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants, of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up danties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize over their teach- ers. -- Socrates, 394 B. C. Student solutions to the energy crisis Sandra Fraley: Senior I feel the American Oil Companies should produce more oil to meet our de- mands. Diann Gonzalez: Sophomore We should have car pools and if driving 55 m.p. h. is going to help then we should do it. Connie Scott: Senior I don ' t think there is so much of a shortage as there is a panic at the thought of one. Mark Smith: Senior I don ' t think there is an energy crisis because the large oil companies just want to form a corporation and raise the price of gas. Susan Davies: Senior Everyone should reduce their driving speed and if possible do all your errands in one trip. Younger kids with licenses should ride bikes more instead of using the car for every little trip they have to make. Out of gas . . . YB: Mr. Dakich, this is your first year as principal actually you ' ve only been here a couple of months, what is your reaction so far to the position itself? Dakich: I will preface by saying that I was assistant principal for three years un- der, what I consider, one of the most outstanding princi- pals in the area, Mr. Julius. I learned a lot by findin g out really what some of the problems are that we have here. In regards to the prin- cipalship. I ' ve been here I think three weeks today, yeah, thats it, three weeks today, I find the job very, very complex (Phone rings) excuse me. (Mr. Dakich gives his ok to a student to sell Halloween suckers) I have to say in the last three weeks I ' ve enjoyed it im- mensely. There are some problems that a Principal has that I wasn ' t aware of and maybe that ' s what’ s the challenge. I think in this day and age, which we call the modern age, I think the prin- cipal has to be aware of the problems that the kids are having today. I think I ' m adjusting to that, I have ad- justed to that this past three or four weeks. YB: Going back, what posi- tion did you start as in your public school career. Dakich: I started here in Lake Ridge Schools when it was called the Metropolitan School District back in Sep- tember of ' 59, which means I ' m starting my fifteenth year. I started out as a Jr. High math teacher when this building was the Jr. High. I taught seventh and eighth grade math; Mr. Borlick and I came at the same time. From there I moved to the high school which is now Ridge Jr. High. I became director of distributive ed- ucation where I initiated our first vocational co-op pro- gram. To be specific, the D. E. program which led to all similar programs such as health occupations, office education and industrial oc- cupations. That was 1963 and I held that position for three years and remained at the high school as a business teacher and as freshman basketball coach. Then in 1969, when we went to two junior highs, Mr. Julius be- came principal of Ridge Junior High and I went over with him as Dean of Students. I stayed there for one year as Dean then Mr. Julius came here to the high school in 1970 and I came over as assistant principal and re- mained his assistant princi- pal ' til October 3rd of this year, at which time he got a promotion to Director of Vocational Education and I was promoted to the princi- palship. YB: Undoubtedly, the times have changed since you started as Math teacher lead- ing up to principal and the kids have changed along with the times and what noted differences do you see from the people of 1959 to 1973? Dakich: Without any question, the high school kids of today are more intellegent, if I may use the word intellegent, in all areas. They watch more television, see more movies, do more things, and probably one of the biggest things they ' ve got going for them has to do with intelle- gence. They are more mo- bile today than they were in the past. Just check our parking lots. I think it is good they move around alot. I think it hurts the school in many areas, by that I mean it is very difficult to hold a dance anymore because the kids get moblie and they may be hav- ing some kind of operation when they hop in their car and go to Valpo or they hop in their car and go to Ham- mond or alot of them go down to IU, spend the week- end at IU, with brothers or sisters or someone. I think it is great. I think the kids are much more sharper to- day than they were in 1959. They want to do more things. They are, I think, much more patient today than they were. I think they want things done now. If I may be negetive for a moment, I think that one of the things, one of the problems we have with the teenagers today, and I haven ' t said this to too many people, but it seems that when a young man or young lady falls into trouble here at school, by that I mean, caught ditching, caught stealing a fire ex- tinguisher or something it seems as though that indi- vidual doesn’t want to pay the price or suffer the con- sequences. He or she will say Oh ' give me a break. Jimmy Smith did the same thing and nothing happened to him. Barbara Smith did something similar to that and nothing happened to her. Give me a break . I think that the kid deserves that if it is something minor, but in most cases they don ' t want to do that, they don ' t want to pay the price or suffer the consequences. They want to get off. I’m not sure what the reason for it is. I do know that we ' re not unique in that. Summer school, what a drag. Or maybe it really wasn ' t all that bad. To find out, Chieftain reporter Lennie Stitt was sent out to get the opinions of those who attended. By far, the biggest gripe the students had was the time of the classes. Sophomore Joy Clod- feldter commented, I liked it, but I had to get up at six to get there on time. The most common class taken was Driver Education, which junior Debbie Simko said, was better than learn- ing from your parents. In another vein. Lulu Blankenship, also a junior, said that the class was ben- eficial in that it helped her successfully get her li- cense. An interesting note about the summer session was the sight of new teach- ers from the Jr. High. Along with the popular Driver Education class, were the regular academic courses as well as band. Junior Larry Mohler, who took English and U. S. History, said he enjoyed learning about the history of our country.

(FAR LEFT) In a reflective interview after the season. Coach Dick Trcka gave some in- sights as to the highlights and disappointments of the season. He started off by citing the hussle of the team. He said they began practice on August 12, two practices were held each day with sessions lasting between one and a half to two hours. Needless to say it was quite hard and it made the practices tough. But every- one stuck in there and came through in good fashion , commented Coach Trcka. He went on to explain that the practices were centered on two things, conditioning and fundamen- tals. Coach Trcka told the Chieftain he did not expect too much of a better season. He did say, however, that after a few games were lost, it left a psychological effect and may have cost them a couple of games. Trcka credited some out- standing performances-to Flemon Tarver, Tom Gill, Dan Jackovich and Ray Kljajic. 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 VJ n 14 15 16 19 20 21 22 23 2 26 27 28 36 Wm i CHS 7 River Forest 6 0 Valparaiso 35 8 Lake Central 20 7 Lowell 10 0 Munster 42 6 East Gary 44 20 Griffith 14 22 Crown Point 26 CHS 7 River Forest 6 0 Valparaiso 35 8 Lake Central 20 7 Lowell 10 0 Munster 42 6 East Gary 44 20 Griffith 14 22 Crown Point 26 0 Highland 28 0 Merrillville 42 Calumet ' s football season this year was disappointing. The Warriors ' record was 8-2. Regardless of its sea- son, Calumet had three play- ers as all-conference out- standees. Tom Gill, Flemon Tarver and Ray Kljajic were named to the all -conference list with the other standout play- ers from other schools. Tom and Ray received , awards for the position of middle linebacker. Flenon was awarded the defensive end honors. In the coaches all-state picks, Dan Jackovich and Ray Kljajic received honor- able mention. Dan was selected at defensive end and Ray chosen at the middle linebacker position. One reason for the Warrior ' s dismal season was a result of injuries. 37 Running the season Mr. Chris Traicoff, coach of the Calumet Harriers, reflects to the Chieftain the accomplish- ments of his team. Chieftain: How do you feel about the CC team ' s performance this year? Coach Traicoff: The team did reasonably well this year. The best show- ing was qualification for the regionals by finishing in third place out of eighteen teams in the sectionals. Chieftain: How many re- turning runners do you have? Coach Traicoff: They will all be back next year with the exception of Ron Harris, our only senior. Alonzo Muro, one of the Cross Country team ' s fastest runners, comments to the Chief- tain about his sport. Chieftain: Alonzo, how intense were the prac- tices? Alonzo: They were hard as a whole, but fun. Chieftain: Do you feel the team’s season was suc- cessful? Alonzo: Yes, for such a young team we had a very good season. We were all inexperienced, and for being such a young team, we did pretty well. Chieftain: What were spe- cific events? Alonzo: I ran the two and a half mile course along with six others. 38 CC members give opinions I Malcom Rumba, a junior, is also one of the Cross Country team ' s better runners. He in- forms the Chieftain that even though he realizes the sport involves a lot of self-discipline, he feels he can do well in it because he puts his whole heart into it. P ™ Malcom and his team members run eight reg- I ular meets, plus sec- tionals and regionals. He I expects to participate in Cross Country as a sen- ior, also. FAR LEFT: Coach Traicoff.

V. squad. The follow- ing interviews with Jan Ragsdale (J.V.) and Letha Smith (Varsity) were con- ducted by the Chieftain at the close of the season. Chieftain: Jan , how would you describe your open- ing season? Jan: We weren ' t too good when we started out, but we got better towards the end of the season. Chieftain: Who, in your opinion was your team ' s best asset? Jan: Sonia Harris who is a very good spiker and also Clare Seaberger. Cheiftain: Letha, how would you describe your season? Letha: Poor. It really was. It was as if we lacked the confidence to win any games because the team was somewhat inexperienced. Chieftain: What were your practice hours? We Practiced twice a week, but more often before sectionals. i 41 Spirit week is truckin’ September 27, 1973, Calment held the annual Homecoming bonfire. Mike Gulley, junior: The bonfire was sort of a dud. At the Bonfire all you do is watch the fire burn, noth- ing else but watch it burn. It could of been improved by having a dance after the event instead of after the game. Mike Weldon, senior: It was interesting and up in smoke. A lot of people enjoyed and profited from it this year. It could be improved by having a big- ger one, because it would be more exciting to stu- dents. 42 TOP RIGHT: Warrior defense strives to hold that line ! ABOVE: A sophomore during the bike race.

The following are opinions from Diane Gobla and Lisa Stillabower, both sophomores. Diane Goble: I was on the sophomore truck with about 50 other students. Although it was raining, the parade turned out rather nicely. The student participa- tion was acceptionably good this year, but the lack of student partic- ipation will soon have their coming events. Lisa Stillabower: I was on the pep band truck. I enjoyed play- ing and riding in the rain. The parade brings out the homecoming spirit in the students and should be handed down in years to come. I personally feel that the parade was very successful! I as well as others are look- ing forward to next years parade. Cal players perform twice before spring The Calumet Players have proved their acting abilities to the utmost this year. They have dra- matized two plays Miss Twiddle and the Devil (presented in the fall) and The Gift of the Magi (an adoptation of O ' Henry’s short story presented for Christ- mas.) After many long hours of practice with Mr. Paul Borlick, spon- sor, they showed the stu- dent body their unique talents - to the satisfac- tion of all who were pre- sent. The Gift of the Magi demonstrated the depth of their dramatic accomplishments. What made this production so unusual was that the Players put it on with no adult supervision. Ellen Hughson, senior, was director. Though originally intended to be a dramatic play, a few comical surprises met with the approval of the student body. Despite the enormous work involved, members are enthusiastic about the virtues of their organiza- tion. TOP RIGHT: Cindi Wampler, Dave Banning, Candy Fizer and Cathy Evans.

But do they still possess their importance? Has the social upheaval of the last decade affected such All American Ideals as these? The Warriorettes, al- though originally an accom- paniment to the band, have evolved to a competent, en- tertaining group. With their growth, being a mem- ber has become a status symbol and competition to join. A new practice has been instigated this year all Warriorettes must try out each year. Kris Klod- zen, sophomore, com- mented, With this policy, the girls must work all year round, not just when try out time comes. UPPER LEFT: JV Cheerleaders - Rosalinda Hernandez, Pat Elizondo, Debbie Simko, Traci Mann, Rose King; FAR LEFT: Varsity Cheer- leaders - Kathy Chakos, Renee Bass, Janet Laudien, Ruth Page, Marilyn Morgenroth; MIDDLE LEFT: Warriorettes perform at pep rally; LEFT: Debbie Kairns, jun- ior, prepares for halftime show at football game; ABOVE: An old Warriorette? With the rise of the re- cent Women ' s Movement, many institutions have re- examined their value. In an interview, Miss Robin Payne, Warriorette direc- tor, offered these views: Q: With the Women ' s Movement in mind, are Warriorettes necessary? A: Yes, we are giving the girls a chance to prove they can do something. Boys do this and that, but girls are girls and never get a chance to show they can do things, too. Q: Are Warriorettes a direct contradiction to Wo- men ' s Lib? A: No, there is a choice to it. If that is what the girls want to do then it ' s fine with me. That ' s what liberation means. Yolande Sanchez, jun- ior, decided to become a Warriorette because she wanted to be active in the school and felt this organ- ization wouid match her taients. She enjoyed it de- spite the work involved. She felt anyone who was a member benefitted im- mensly. For example, it would help one overcome one ' s shyness. The big- gest probiem, she felt, was keeping in shape, an essential part of this group. J 1 Cheerleading is anoth- er organization which has long been a cherished American Ideal, with a cheerleader being held in high esteem. When asked if she felt being a cheer- leader was a status sym- bol, Janet Laudien, senior, replied, Maybe in years past, but I don ' t feel it is today. In answer to wheth- er cheerleading is mean- ingful to the students ' life. Miss Laudien declared, Although many people would not think of cheer - leading as being relevant to the students ' life, I be- lieve it would be missed if it no longer existed. Cheerleading is a part of school, just like ath- letics. Without such activ- ities the school would have no life. 49 First parent During the 1973-1974 school year a new practice was initiated at Calumet High School. Called Parents ' Day, it allowed the parents to see at first hand their childrens ' school. The procedure of Parents ' Day agreed with all involved - students, faculty, and par- ents. The students attended school a half a day (in the morning). The parents ar- rived in time for lunch and had the opportunity to sam- ple a typical cafeteria lunch. Later, the parents fol- lowed their childrens ' sched- uals, allowing fifteen min- utes for each class. During the alotted time for each class, the teacher explained his (or her) personal teach- ing methods and discussed the progress of the students. They also discussed with each parent the individual capabilities of their child. Student volunteers served as guides for the parents - as- sisting them in any way pos- sible. The turn-out of the 1973- 1974 Parents ' Day was quite significant. Parents ' Day was unique as it allowed discussion be- tween parent and teacher an aspect which is so often lack- ing in schools today. It as- sured the parents of the con- cern and dedication of the people in whose hands is the education of their children. All involved were pleased with the outcome of Parents ' Day. It will, in all likelihood become an annual event.

The Honor Society had a fruitful year in 1973- 1974. The Honor Society, as the name suggests, is for those students who are above average scholasti- cally. The necessary re- quirement for entering is to have a B average and to be a junior or senior, al- though a sophomore may also become a member. It is affiliated with the Na- tional Honor Society. The main activity in which the Honor Society participated was selling candy during lunch hours and various extracurricu- lar events such as the Mardi Gras and basketball games. The money earned is used for scholarships. Annette Patterson, jun- ior, has been a member of the Honor Society since her sophomore year. She en- joys being a member and feels she has benefitted from being active in this organization. It is her be- lief that others who wish to join would benefit like- wise. Commenting on the activities of the Honor So- ciety, Miss Patterson said, This year we participated in the Homecoming Parade, the Mardi Gras, and have also taken a field trip to the Art Institute in Chica- go. We also had a banquet in May for the new initi- ates. There are fifteen current members (juniors and seniors). The number of new initiates is not yet known. Organizations . . . Clubs have been active at Calumet for many years. 1973-1974 was no different. Clubs such as the Ski and Biology Clubs and C -Teens participated in many activities. What cannot be overlooked, which made this year un- usual, was the dissolve- ment of a few clubs, such as the French and Home- makers Clubs. This rais- es a meaningful question, why does a person join a specific club? Is it be- cause one is interested in the subject of the club, or because it is an active club - a club which parti- cipates in many activities, or perhaps because one ' s friends have joined. If the latter is true, it leads to the assumption that clubs are not all that the y may seem to be. Yet what is the purpose of a club? The answer varies to the point where some feel the im- portance of a club is to make one more knowledge- able to the thought that it is purely a social function. A truly worthwhile club should be a compromise between these two ex- tremes.

Whatever the case, he is one of the most mentioned individuals in the world. His name is Santa Claus (with alias tags such as St. Nick and Kris Krin- gle) and to find out what he ' s really like, the Chieftain sent an investi- gative team to his home at the North Pole. Come in, come in. Welcome to the North Pole. You can take your boots off right there by the door. That was his greeting as we arrived in early November. He was garbed in plain clothes smoking a pipe and peer- ing through the top of his age worn spectacles. Can I get you some hot chocolate or coffee. I ' ve got to find a better place for these maps. Martha give these young people some hot chocolate! You ' ll have to excuse the mess, we ' re getting ready for the busy season you know. The interview was simple, Santa needed no formal questions, but kept rattling facts, facts, facts. Usually, we start rushing about this time. During the year, we keep He’s no con man Chief tan staff goes North to visit Santa an even flow of production. We try to get things like dolls, bikes and little cars out of the way first since they’re the most demanded items. He told the reporters that his job is to supervise the operation, and make sure the kids are behaving well. After finishing the hot chocolate, Santa gave a tour of the toy factory. The building actually con- sists of three large build- ings enjoined by a vesti- bule. As to the staff, Mr. Claus said, these are the finest elves in the world. They love kids and they really hustle to show it. During his spare time, Santa likes to watch TV, watch girls, and eat . Besides caring for the kids of the world, he also loves animals and has eight of the best flying reindeer there are. Yep, he said with a tone of pride, these ani- mals are 100% healthy. They’re quite a breed. That light over there is coming from Rudolph ' s stall. He ' s the durndest thing you ever saw. When asked to explain his job and how he got it, Mr. Claus sighted intuition and love as the only thing to guide him and a sense of always giving is how his legend came to be. That evening, supper was given in a room with one big table (short in length) and one tiny table to accommodate 100 elves. The reporter left to the tone of, now you make sure and come back and Merry Christmas! He ' s no con man. _JL 54 The following is a famous editorial written for the NEW YORK SUN by Francis P. Church, September 21, 1897. The Chief tan staff would like to bring it to the hearts of its readers once again, hoping to share a touching moment of faith that one little girl had over 75 years ago. IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS? We take pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently the communi- cation below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faith- ful author is numbered among the friends of THE SUN: Dear Editor- I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ' If you see it in THE SUN it ' s so. ' Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O ' Hanlon 115 West 95th Street Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not b elieve except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehen- sible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men ' s or children ' s are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere in- sect, an ant, in his intel- lect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intel- ligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia . . . Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginia. There would be no child -like faith then, no poetry, no ro- mance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that ' s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby ' s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. Artwork by Jerry Duggins Autographs 56 Autographs 57 A few inquiries were made as to what students associated with the words brownie and rah . Here are a few responses: Ira Sankowski: A rah is anyone sitting at the first lunch table and being proud of it. Dena Sowers: Rahs are stuck-up and think they are better than any- one else. A brownie is someone who tries to get in good with the teachers. Diane Gobla and George Greene share the same opinion. ’75 keeps spirit movin’ . . starts money rollin’ . . . Junior Class was busy during the .1973- 74 school year trying to raise money lor a successful prom. Juniors sold T- shirts, candy and key chains in an effort to raise funds. They were also p re -occu- pied collecting paper for a paper drive. Candy is making the most money, in- dicated fund raising chairman l red Brunn, concerning the ac- tivity. A faculty vs. stu- dent basketball game was held on Friday, February 14 in the ficldhousc during fifth hour to raise money for the class. The faculty won, but jun- iors collected the coin. ” Ridge Junior High, Lake Junior High and Hosford Park contributed to the pa- per drive, reported Fred Brunn. Serving as officers for the class during the school year were Frank Triana, Blanche Widelski, Margene Simunic and Glenda Buckner.

LISA SCOTT: I think you can do your own thing at Calumet without worrying what others may say. ROBERT WILKENS: I like some of the teachers and going to the Cinema (movies sponsored by stu- dent council). I don ' t like some of the kids, though.

The Pan Am Club has been active in such things as a Christmas party, ta- co party and the Mardi Gras; they had a taco stand and a ring throwing booth. Carol Yeager, junior, felt the purpose of the club was, to bring students with a common interest (Spanish) together, and to keep them interested in it. Another member, Su- san Cervantes, sophomore, feels she has benefited from being a member be- cause she, has met many new and exciting people through this club. Also she would recommend that others join, if they want to become involved in a worthwhile organiza- tion.

Calumet has a wide variety of or- ganizations, dealing with subjects as broad as chem- istry to skiing to those specifically concerned with the involvement of sports. It is debatable as to wheth- er they are indeed a vital part of the school, although club members would sore- ly mourn their passing. What is unquestionable is how those involved bene- fit from cooperating on a common subject with oth- ers who share the same interest.

It was, as always, a tremen- dous success. The Ball is unique (in comparison to other social events held at Calumet) as it allows the girls to invite the boys instead of vice versa - a very liberated custom. It was held in the old gym, a tradition which dates from the first GAA Ball. Another tradition is the decorating of the gym by members of the Girls Athletic Association. The music was performed by the group Onyx, to the satisfaction to all in- volved. Another tradition of the GAA Ball is the crowning of the GAA queen. This year’s queen was Terri Mara, senior. The only qualification a girl needs to become queen is to be a member of the Girls Athletic Association and also to be a senior. The GAA members vote for the queen prior to the ball. This decision remains un- known until the night of the Ball. Miss Robin Payne and Miss Laura Baird, teach- ers and sponsors of the GAA served as hostesses at this formal gathering. FAR UPPER RIGHT: Students enjoy themselves at Ball; UPPER LEFT: Debbie Gamer, senior, dances to the music of Onyx; LOWER LEFT: Miss Laura Baird crowns Terri Mara, senior, queen 1973 Ball success The atmosphere at this three hour Ball was happy and lively and it was evi- dent that everyone enjoyed themselves. Approximate- ly 300 couples attended the Ball. In general, the reason why so vast a number of people were present at the Ball is because, after hearing how enjoyable it was in past years, these people thought it would be the same this year. Every- one approved the turn- about theme, feeling it gave a girl the opportunity to be the aggressor, instead of the boy. In general, it was considered one of the high points of the season.

The Calumet Warriors have won the sectiona ls two out of the three years that Carl Traicoff became head coach. In winning the 1974 Sectionals, one has to remember Coach Traicoff hugging his players. There are a lot of peo- ple who deserve individual credit, even though it was a team effort. John Barg- feldt cannot be overlooked with his super performance in the Merrillville game. Jerry Tauber played the three best games in his career. Ernie Harper was super great as usual. Mike Weldon and Eric Adams did an outstanding job on the boards. 86 The Warriors opened sec- tional play by upsetting the Merrillville Pirates in an overtime game. The Pirates were favored to take the sectionals but they had to play the Warriors first. Ernie Harper led Calumet with 20 points in scoring. In semi-final sectional play, the Calumet Warriors knocked Munster out of the sectionals by a 65-55 score. As usual, Ernie Harper led the Warriors ' scoring attack. In the sectional finals. Calumet beat Lake Central by a score of 67-55. Ernie Harper, again, led all scores with 16 points. Mike Weldon played a very important part by grabbing precious re- bounds. Eric Adams and John Phelps ' defensive work caused Lake Central to turn- over the ball many times. 1974 Sectional Basketball Team BACK ROW-Assit.

Mike was a forward on the Warrior squad and noted the early beginning basket- ball had with practice begin- ning in early September. In the beginning, we ran a lot, until Mr. Traicoff cut the squad. We started out with about 30 guys, said Mike. He also mentioned how the early practices with the regulars focused on funda- mentals. As to the team, Mike stated We were a pretty close knit ball club. We didn ' t have one outstanding team leader but pretty much pulled for each other. An interesting aspect, was Mike ' s view of Coach Carl Traicoff. He said that Mr. Traicoff was constantly looking for new ways because he was never satisfied. Also, he takes good care of his ball players. The six foot forward summed it all up by saying, It ' s been a thrill working for Mr. Traicoff and I probably wouldn ' t want to play for anyone else.

V. pushes on Sam Henry, starting for- ward for the junior varsity basketball team, stressed concentration in an inter- view with the Chieftain. I concentrate mainly on making the right judgements and decisions while playing. While on the bench, Sam said he concentrates on morale. Commenting on Coach Randy Harkabus, he said that he was a good coach. Harkabus is a brilliant coach at this time and I think he will get better as he ages. ” JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Scores CHS OPPONENT 75 Horace Mann 45 33 Portage 48 43 Morton 37 39 Merrillville 42 44 Crown Point 51 52 Griffith 50 41 Merrillville 49 48 Noll 50 38 Griffith 42 56 Wirt 53 55 Highland 46 67 Lew Wallace 55 53 Munster 51 41 Gavit 39 32 Lake Central 47 39 Andrean 32 31 Lowell 27 58 Hobart 59 61 River Forest 56 91 What goes on here everyday Something everyday.

Besides the regular old grind of the books, one could usually find some kind of activity, whether during school or extra- curricular, to suit his needs and desires. Things didn ' t always go right, but those with interest and determination found success. t Engrossed, entangled, awarded. — 93 Autographs . . . Routine life at C.H.S. Truckin’ down the halls, a visit from Mr. Vass and ladies meeting for a pizza burger brunch. It ' s all a part of life at Calumet, a life which reflects a time to be bored, have fun, ditch, and re- member. Of course it ' s typical but it ' s life. It ' s a way to learn the way all clean cut American young people are pre -destined to learn. Though some days may bring an assembly or movie, most days re- semble a rut. Somehow that rut doesn ' t seem so bad, except in mid- February when being in a rut is a rut. It sounds confusing because it is. No one can explain why we accept these best days of our lives. Fashion frenzy Ceceil Wideman, sopho- more, answered as such when questions were posed to her about styles: Styles have changed a great deal since I started Junior High, for instance blouses are in the layered look, there are bigger heeled shoes, darker shades in make-up for the girls, for the boys they have let their hair grow and are dressing more like men, also they look neater. Although the styles have changed from year to year the people haven ' t to a certain extent, because you are what you are no matter what you are wear- ing. When questions were asked to Cheryl Holder, sophomore, the following re- plies were given. 98 Style streaking Styles have changed alot since I began junior high. Clothes have gone from the hip huggers in the pants to the very high waisted pants. Also I ' ve seen the transition from bells to cuffs in pants. Blouses have gone from the smock tops to the midriffs. I think also that styles are returning to the past, girls are wearing dark lip- stick and fingernail polish. Baggie pants, and longer hemed skirts and dresses also show returning of the 1930’ s style. It seems to the CHIEF- TAIN that popular movies such as The Sting and Paper Moon are reflecting the tastes of fashion con- scious consumers. Yes, it seems that the old styles are becoming new and most people seem to be enjoying the nostalgic journey. 100 Ups and downs smiles and frowns A typical day at Calumet is just as typical for teach- ers as it is for students. An example of this is the schedule followed by Mrs. Barbara Sajda, En- glish teacher. I usually get here ear- ly and go to my classroom to organize my daily plans. As far as daily routine goes, I have four English classes in a row. ” (Two of her classes are literature and two are grammar. ) During school lunch hour Mrs. Sajda spends time in the cafeteria getting lunch and then travels up to the lounge once again for coffee and chatter. Fifth hour is my plan- ning period. Sometimes I stay in my classroom and grade papers or plan the next day ' s activities. On other days I ' ll go back to the lounge and have some pop and read a magazine. Sixth hour I have one final English class and then I go home, said Mrs. Sajda. Thus is the day of a typical teacher with a typical schedule at typical Calumet High School. 101 Student life is a part of Calumet Question: Does Education Play an Important Role in Your Life? Mike Wheatly: Sophomore, No, I don’t like getting up too early in the morning. Starla Stewart: Junior, Yea, you need a good edu- cation to get a job. It would make my parents happy too if I graduate. Valerie Roscoe: Junior, It plays an important role in my life because you need a good education to get along in the world. You also meet a lot of people. Bob Wilkins: Sophomore, Yes, you need a good edu- cation to graduate and go to college, Cathy Le Jeune: Sopho- more I guess it is okay. At least I will get my diploma I hope!

To be a school girl or a school boy is the profes- sion of thousands of adoles- cents across the country. Daily, their main occupa- tion is to be a teenager - no more and no less. This is a recent phenomenon. Adolescence has always been a time of growth and change; it is only in the past twenty five years that the American Teenager has emerged. Previously, one was either a child or an adult - there was no mid- dle ground. The American High School is unique among schools. In other societies, a school is strictly a place of learning. It is not so here. In our society, the High School has a social as well as educational function. Here, as in oth- er environs, one meets friends but in this area it goes deeper. One ' s whole social life centers on the school. TOP RIGHT : Enjoying lunch hour sun; TOP LEFT: Students take -a short break. BOTTOM RIGHT: A solitary spec- tator; BOTTOM LEFT: Students enjoy each others company at a social function. The educators in favor of the American system of secondary schools feel the use of social and academic activities are essential in building character. With- out these varied pastimes, a student would miss out of many opportunities for emotional and intellectual growth. Unfortunately, these activities are often abused. In these cases, the social aspects are overly stressed, leaving little time for academic study. The question which is immediately raised is what is the purpose of school. The standard an- swer is to get an educa- tion, yet what constitutes an education? 115 I 118 119 Looking it over and remembering when Local news was com- paratively unexciting com- pared to national news. In middle Indiana, horrible floods devastated the area, leaving families homeless. Around the Calumet area, no monumental occurrence took place. The winning of the sectionals for Calumet for the second time in three years was the only headliner of any worth to its students. Food and gas prices kept soaring, and people keep moaning. Nixon ' s tax scandal hit the news in early April as well as the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst, newspaper heiress, by an organi- zation which calls itself the Symbionese Liberation Army. Novelties such as Tatum O ' Neal, the young- est recipient of the Best Actress award gave something for people to t alk about for a while. Here at Calumet, Spring fever breaks out. After Easter vacation, things begin to quiet down. Students know they ' re in the home stretch now, trying to cross the finish line of the final day. Seniors who were lucky enough to go on the trip to the Bahamas, came back tanned and exhausted. For them, there was only two and a half more weeks left. The whole last semester actually is not a time of devout study. The final few weeks for seniors is a time of concentration - on grad- uation and being through at last! Sophomores and Juniors, however, still have a long month to go yet, but are no less anxious to escape the halls of education. They are busy campaigning for next year ' s student council positions, class offices, trying out for cheerleading, Warrior - ettes, football, etc. Moving up is a great thought, and even nicer is the thought of not being the youngest or the middle anymore. Throughout the past seven montns, many things have been accomplished that students never realize have been so numerous. The football games. Home- coming, the bonfire and parade, the fall and Christmas play, GAA Ball, sectional championship, wrestling matches, Spring play, talent show, Choral concert and yet to come the Prom. These are just a few of the activities that have passed so quick- ly before us. For some, this is the last time for any of these activities, for others there are more of the same to come. Spring brings animals as well as people out of hibernation. At Calumet it is no different. Study- ing now is hopeless. The sun, grass and flowers take everyone over.

He said tiiat the outstanidng players on the varsity team were John Barg- feldt, Mike Dayhoff, Tom Ci ill. Bob Emanuel - son, Rick Lowe and John Phelps. He also cited David Loudermilk, Dan- ny Mount and Scott Dayhoff as outstanding players of the junior varsity team. Coach Trcka stated that the varsity team had very good potential and the junior varsity demon- strated similar qual- ities. 125 Sports dominate Calumet scene Calumet had some outstanding perform- ances in track this year. Eric Adams, Mike Stamper and Jerry Brakely quali- fied for the regionals. Eric Adams and Mike Stamper set the record at the La Porte Relays in the 120 yard high hurdles. Jerry Brakely set a school record in the discus throw. Other outstanding performances include Flemon Tarver being second in the conference in the long jump. In the pole vault, Randy Holder and Bill Wadkins scored in every meet. They consistently vaulted at twelve feet and twelve foot six inches. T i mr 4 B W i j J r U w — i Underrated band has new uniforms An often underrated group. The Calumet High School Band, had one of its most active years in 1973-1974. One of these activities was the purchas- ing of new uniforms, the first in 15 years. They consisted of red and white jackets, red pants with white stripes, and tall, red, furry hats. Those involved with the Band worked diligently in order to raise money. Members participated in tag days and numerous other activities. When asked if she felt the band was underrated, Janet Targett, sophomore and band member, com- mented, Quite often the band has performed suc- cessfully yet there was hardly any or no recogni- tion from the faculty and students. When the War- riorettes performed, who notices the band? But with- out the band, the warrior - ettes could not perform. The band should be rec- ognized by everyone for its fine performances.

These words are thrust out with a burst of enthusiasm. The cheer begins, followed by jumps, cartwheels and splits. A glance at the pencils which de- cide the fate of each girl are either scribbling frantically or lying dormant. Then that par- ticular girl ' s turn is over and a final look at the judges may or may not reassure her. Number Two! The process is then repeated right on down the line. Each girl takes her place in front of the panel and hopefully receives a some sign of approval, de- pending on the in- formation she has just dispersed. Loud heart- beats and trembling limbs invade each girl as her number is called. Two or more hours have passed and the al- ready dwindled audience gets up to leave after the ritual has ended. A relief -stricken, yet still unnerved group of girls leaves the gym to await the anticipated results. Although the results can usually be predicted by most, the official an- nouncement is made the following day, giving the girls a long night to hope and worry. Next day, the an- nouncement is made, leaving some jubilant, others heartbroken. The ritual will be re- peated in the same form next year and the year after. Girls who failed may try next year for the chance of being on the squad or may pass on that opportunity to those who can brave that sort of thing. It ' s a tough game to play. 135 Easter vacation was spent in the Bahamas by 69 members of the senior class for the senior class trip.

He was one of the most hard- working members of the yearbook staff. The staff does hope that Jim has not developed a bad back from moving the typewriter from one room to the other. ELLEN HUGHSON-A senior and third year staffer, Ellen served as editor-in-chief of the ' 74 CHIEFTAIN. She previously served as head of the advertising section. Ellen found her job difficult, but hoped it would prove rewarding. Ellen ' s legacy to future CHIEFTAIN editors was the motto: Photography is the bitter fruit of life. LAURA NIMETZ -Junior Laura Nimetz devoted her talents to the student life sec- tion as its editor. This was her first year on staff and she found it challanging. She was one of the most devoted members on the ' 74 staff. LENNIE STITT-Sophomore and first year staffer, Lennie worked on the student life section as reporter. Her interest in student activities made her an experienced worker in that area. DAN PETRO-Dan was a second year photographer for the staff. He served as head photographer. The help- ful photographer once volun- teered his keys to Miss Blaney (adviser) until she could find hers. FRANCES I ' m having a ner- vous breakdown SPEED -Fran worked as a reporter for both the organization and stu- dent life sections. As a sopho- more, Fran proved to be an excelient worker.

Her dedication to her work was a great asset for the yearbook. SHIELA DRAKE -A junior, Shiela worked on the stu- dent life section of the yearbook. She was a main staff interviewer and a devoted worker. She also provided many of the headlines and completed the index for the book. Perhaps, Shiela could have been overheard exclaiming, My ' stars ' the index is a time consuming assign- ment! 173 Mona Dutton (TOP LEFT) - Mona, the CHIEFTAIN’S prettiest photographer, pursued her interests as a member of the photography staff. She filled her junior year with enthusiasm in her work. However Mona did indicate that 50 rolls of basketball pictures was overdoing it just a little.

As editor on the Organiza- tions section, she exerted much time and energy to making her section one of the best. She will serve as assistant editor next year. Guinella Cheek- (BOTTOM LEFT) - Guin’s second year on staff saw her work- ing on both the layouts and underclassmen section. She was a junior and after the trials and tribulations of the past year, wonders how she survived it for her last year on staff. Mark Roscoe- (UPPER CEN- TER) Mark ' s first year on staff as a sophomore was spent as layout editor. His constant interest led him to the position of editor for the ' 75 yearbook. Perhaps Mark ' s greatest asset was his ability to communicate. Mark was once overheard explaining, You don ' t over- burn on a reverse or reverse on an overburn, but you can reverse out of 60% black or Letha Smith- (CENTER) - Letha, a senior and staff photographer spent her first year working on numerous assignments as well as printing and developing pic- tures.

Linda Pickens-(TOP RIGHT) - Linda ' s first year on staff was her senior year at Cal- umet. She worked on captions and layouts of the CHIEFTAIN’S pages.

She displayed a great deal of knowledge and skill both years on staff.

Kent Askren-(NOT SHOWN) - Kent has served on the yearbook staff as one of its most dependable and patient photographers. He spent his senior year as his first and only year. Kent often lectured the staff on everything they ever wanted to know about photography, but couldn ' t care less to ask.

Her interest in sports, male and female, led her to her posi- tion on that section. Ruth Page -(NOT SHOWN) - Ruth or Ruthie as she is more commonly known, was the yearbook typist her senior year which was her first year on staff. Because of the vast amount of typing to be done, a rapid typist was needed, leading the staff to turn to her talents. She was a key staff member. 175 THE STREETS OF OUR COUNTRY ARE IN TURMOIL. THE UNIVERSITIES ARE FILLED WITH STUDENTS REBELLING AND RIOTING. COMMUNISTS ARE SEEKING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. RUSSIA IS THREATENING US WITH HER MIGHT. AND THE REPUBLIC IS IN DANGER. YES-IN DANGER! FROM WITHIN AND WITHOUT. WE NEED LAW AND ORDER. WITHOUT LAW AND ORDER OUR NATION CANNOT SURVIVE. -Adolph Hiti r Silence screams out When I hear the word ' close ' , I think of a definite ending. Ending means emptiness. Locked doors, naked trees, lonely weeds 176 in the grass. Stopping to think about this though, I realize I don ' t like that thought, so I want to change it. This is the closing page, but I ' ll pretend it is the opening page. In a way it is, because my life is just now beginning. E.D.H.
