P .- ■■ r X GENERATION ' 68 ' PERSPECTIVE The coming of the year 1967-68 was the coming of change to Car- dinal Ritter High School. As the first senior class was welcomed, the school became a complete high school with four classes and with ell the challenges and problems facing the older, more experienced schools. For the new seniors, the goal of graduation, which once had seemed so far away, was almost too close to fulfillment when they thought of the work they had yet to do. Yet, as the year is held in perspective, it can be seen that this year of change was a year of growth. Most of this growth was the growth of the students them- selves as they assumed voluntarily part of the responsibility for their discipline. This demonstration of a desire for maturity and responsi- bility was the most important achievement of the school year. In this, the first yearbook of Cardinal Ritter High School, this year of growth is recorded: the academic endeavors, the athletic events, and the social activities. Yet they have been set down not just that each student has his own journal of the year, but that each student may gain a sense of perspective as he remembers the individual events that made up the school year 1967-68.

The faculty ' s dedi- cation to its job and concern in working with the students has helped build an excellent pro- gram of academics. Father Cleary: an Administrative Dynamo One time went to a schoo where discovered that Christianity meant happiness and life. It was a school v here I learned the immense satisfaction of working and planning and playing and suffering with others. I felt accepted, and I was happy. The people there stirred my ability to think, to analyze, to criti- cize, to express my opinion. I came alive. I felt impor- tant. And I recall that I first faced the fact that I would have to be just a little bit different in order to repay all the faith and confidence that had been placed in me by so many others. Gradually I began to ask myself what I could give to the world, rather than what life had to give to me. That ' s when I really be- gan to grow up, and it was a most satisfying experi- ence. It was in that school that I decided that what really counted was how deeply I would love and al- low myself to care. And so resolved to accept the suffering that would result from loving. Somehow I knew that I would have to be willing to risk utter failure if ever I was to succeed. Christ ' s Passion and Death became so very meaningful to me. It all happened while I went to that school. It was a v onderful experience. It changed the course of my life. IT IS MY FERVENT PRAYER THAT THESE WILL BE TYPICAL OF THE MEMORIES OF HIS SCHOOL THAT EVERY GRADUATE OF CARDINAL RITTER HIGH SCHOOL WILL ENJOY IN THE YEARS TO COME. GOD BLESS YOU! i Besides teaching Speech and freshman English, Sister Eileen, who heads the English depart- ment, is vice-principal of Ritter. Sister is vitally involved in Raider activities since she handles all student scheduling and also moderates the National Honor Society. New faculty member Father Anthony Etienne teaches senior Religion classes and moderates YCS activities. As Administrative Intern, he di- rects flexible scheduling. Secretaries Mrs. Phyllis McKenna and Miss An ' .ta Bordenkecker, affectionately known as Miss B., handle Hitter ' s clerical work. Faculty Accents ' Now ' Spirituality The conflicts and trials, chai jes and ques- tions of today ' s church are given dimension by the priests who make up the Religion Department at Ritter. Breaking from the traditional courses, the Department offers electives for sophomores and juniors. Freshmen and seniors do, however, have standard courses geared toward their maturity and need. The discussions in all classes are very different from those held previously. As all realize what the mission of man is on earth, religion classes do not discuss only what sacraments and original sin are, but what role they play in the world today. The religion faculty helps us to see both sides of war, racial riots, drug addiction and alcoholism and how to be positive, not negative, Christians. In his favorite lecturing position, guidance counselor Father Waldon instructs his senior religion class on the values of modern Christian thinking. Father Waldon ' s gestures are as familiar as his horribly ' s and this is true ' s. In this Family Living class, Father acquaints seniors w ith the economic, social, and psychological aspects of marriage. He believes that better pre-marriage education will help students build happier marriages and therefore, happier lives. Pausing for friendly discussion are Father Kessler, who teaches sophomores and juniors Comparative Religion; Father Boniface, who teaches Chris tian Formation to freshmen; and Father Luerman who teaches freshman Christian Guidance. Father Lawler, in teaching Biblical Literature, emphasizes the Bible ' s importance in relation to the views and problems of a modern world. Father Kirch helps Ritter freshmen to acquire a more mature view of Christianity in his Christian Guidance classes. Language: Path To Enlightened Communication Today when the world seems to be getting smaller, Ritter students have re- alized the necessity to exchange ideas with their foreign neighbors. Our Lan- guage department has attempted to equip the students with skill in foreign languages. Basic grammar and vocabu- lary are taught during first year Latin, French, and Spanish. French II and Span- ish II and III students advance to more difficult dialogues and exercises while Latin II and III students translate Caesar ' s Gallic War and Cicero ' s Orations. Quelle hewre est-il, ' or ' what time is it? ' asks Mr. Wyeth who teaches French I and II. Lively Mrs. Bieberich believes that personal involvement with students spreads the knowledge of the Spanish lan- guage and culture. Smiling Sister Sarah tests the awareness of her first year Latin students through the use of her distinctive flash cards. Sraodiosajorridadejopos English: Subject For the ' Pros ' The ability to communicate well is so necessary in today ' s changing age that the English department at Ritter has found it necessary to diversify the method of teaching and offer additional elective courses. Grammar and literature are now correlated. The student incorporates into his own literary work the techniques and styles of famous works of art he has stud- ied. Through the study of American, Eng- lish, and World literature, the student acquires knowledge of past cultures, com- pares styles, language and themes of var- ious periods in history, and projects his ideas into literary forms similar to those studied. Although working with two dif- ferent media, both Journalism and Speech students learn to express themselves with more impact and effectiveness. Librarian Miss Walker moderates the Junior Class and also team teaches with Sister Sarah in Sophomore English — Ritter ' s first experiment In flexible scheduling. Previewing filmstrips in the library is Sister Francis Ellen, who teaches junior and senior English. Reserve basketball coach Mr. Jenks teaches History and Contemporary Ethics to juniors and Sociology and Government to seniors. He serves as Head of Discipline and was greatly re- sponsible for the Student Court system. Staff Projects Insight into Social Studies Preparing for a new school day are two-year veterans Mr. Ricker and Mr. Dufour. Mr. Ricker teaches History, Sociology, and is assistant coach of var- sity football. Mr. Dufour handles Government, World History, and moder- ates the sophomores. He coaches freshman football. Mr. Mears ' World History class learns in an atmosphere that emphasizes the charm of far away places. Pupils Given ' Business ' at Ritter Business teacher Mr. Velikan makes a legal point in first semester Business Law class. In second se- mester Salesmanship was taught. Busy Mr. Velikan also runs the bookstore and teaches Typing and Bookkeeping. J iSSSN? Showing the method for addressing post cards is Typing ond Office Practice teacher Miss Black, who co-moderates the Honor Society. HongKong Sister Mercedes, Sister Lenore, and Sister Joseph Marie display some geometric mod- els, used with other devices, to clarify prob- lems in Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II and Math IV. Physics instructor Mr. Rivas interests seniors with demonstrations such as this one involv- ing a ballistics car. A science-math major, Mr. Rivas also teaches Algebra I. Precision: Sharp In Math, Science Miss Ratz and Mr. Ardizzone use charts and other equipment in their Chemistry and Biology classes. Besides teaching Biology, Chemistry, and Advanced Biolo- gy, Miss Ratz coaches the girl ' s basket- ball and track teams and is moderator for the cheerleaders. Mr. Ardizzone is instructor for Mechanical Drawing and Biology, wrestling coach, and assistant coach for baseball. Band Exhibits Intense Pride Band director Mr. Hinkle confers with young musicians during a briefing. Ju- niors Debbie Delano and Ken Sperling shore the honors of drum majors, and student director Ann Trauner plays flute in the concert and pep bands. Determined describes our con rt band. Forty hard working members practice daily in order to preserve the Raider image of 110 per cent. Mr. Hinkle, raising his baton to signal readiness, is responsible for their musical precision. Sister Francis Assisi teaches Journalism to juniors and seniors interested in the art of newspaper composition. Here seniors Rose Plummer, Phil Peterson, and Linda Van Note discuss the style of editorial writing. Checking objects for display in the lobby is Art teacher Mrs. Pope. Here clay models are judged for mold and design. Mrs. Pope has encouraged competition in her creative students through Indiana art contests. ' Know-how ' Taught In Practical Arts Our rugged varsity football coach Mr. Rose pre- pares an assembly project for his Mechanical Draw- ing classes. He also teaches first year Shop and is the assistant coach in wrestling. Explaining fabric construction and classification to sophomore Patty Klin- gler is Home Economics teacher Sister Jane Frances. Sister also teaches Consumer Education and freshman English. Mrs. Bieker, physical education instruc- tor, helps Anna LaCivito master the horse while Carlo Allen, Pom McCauley and Barb Lucas watch. Watching freshman Dan Gillespie climb the rope is Phys. Ed. teacher Mr. Henderson who coaches our varsity basketball and baseball teams. Coach Henderson also teaches Health and Safety and Drivers Education. Physical Education Aids Self-reliance First Semester gym teacher Mrs. Mummeri hands the ball to freshman Pam McCauley. Mrs. Mum- mert ' s coaching enabled three freshmen to moke the girls basketball team. ACADEMICS No other program is more es- sential to the success of students ' future than the academic one. Ritter ' s program, geared to the needs and wishes of every stu- dent, is imaginative, interesting, and unique. Supposedly listening to a tape on marriage counseling, members of Fr. Waldon ' s class show mixed emotions. Notice Petreo ' s deep thought, Russ ' complete concentration, and Bill ' s ignorance of a camera. Fr. Kessler and his sophomore students, Denise Schmutte and Linda Vogel, pose on the walk of the Christian Theological Seminary. Later, after a tour of the seminary, there were small group discussions on the religions of the world by members of various sects. Mr. Welsh, a theology major from Marian College, teaches courses to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Here, engrossed in thought, he m oderates a discussion in his Christian Formation class. Christianity Booms whether studying the early history of the church or debating on the morality of birth con- trol and the pill, Ritter students have found that religion can be a thought-provoking subject. Discussions may include racial and poverty riots, LSD, dating, or the gospel of the hippies. Stu- dents find that in their religion classes, they can express their own views on current values, con- sider their classmates ' opinions, and get guid- ance from their religion instructors. Audio-visual aids have played an important role in Contem- porary Ethics and senior marriage courses. In- sight films and tapes of marriage counselors ' talks have become almost necessities. Students of Comparative Religion have gone to the Chris- tian Theological Seminary to experience a Bible service and a Biblical Literature class viewed The Bible to enrich their understanding of the first 22 chapters of Genesis. Because students can experience and understand what they are studying, religion has become a challenging and popular course. Sister Francis Assisi gives an approving smile to seniors Paulo Koehl, Karen Johnson, and ju- nior Charlie Reidy as sections of the code of journalism are posted on the board. Journalism Builds Career Interest As a service to the students, the journalism class compiled the names, ad- dresses, and parish codes of everyone, including the faculty. Here, seniors Karen Martin, Gary Guthery, and Pam Paschke staple pages together. At the historic Lilly mansion of Oldfields, journalism class members Barbara Cesnik, Paula Koehl, Kenna Himebaugh, Phil Peterson, Barb Wall, and Mary Mil- harcic surround student teacher Miss Otten. V ' .;j7S Speech, English Simulate Sweet Sounds Senior Mike Legge adjusts the volume level for junior John Timme as seniors Terri Watson, Cecilia Lov e, and Ken Kanaby await their turn to record messages to be sent to nearby grade schools encour- aging students to attend Ritter. At our bookstore, junior Jim Farrell shows senior John Venezio one of the paperbacks carried for the English classes. Sister Lenore ' s freshman English class studies literature in paper- back form. Here, Pam Hally, Jeff Dakin, Dave Bullock, Kathy Froelich, Roger Ford, and Dave Hubbard are reading an autobio- In team-teaching experiments are the English classes of Sis- ter Sarah and Miss Walker, studying American literature with respect to the life of Abraham Lincoln. graphical work by the late Doctor Tom Dooley. In the freshman year, students receive a wide sample of material ranging from sentence structure to analysis of short stories. In Sister Eileen ' s Speech Class, junior Addison Simpson uses a portable sound system to introduce an author ' s work in poetry. Math Intriguing To the Curious The wide variety of courses offered by our Mathematics department gives each student a chance to find the course which appeals to him. The fresh- man may choose from General Math, Pre- Algebra and Algebra I. Those who wish to take more math may elect Geometry and Algebra II; the really mathematically inclined seniors study analytic geometry in Math IV. The stu- dents find that the logic which is the foundation of Mathematics plays a large part in their daily lives. Russ Harris points out the properties of functions for fellow seniors Cecilia Lowe and Ken Kanoby in Sister Mercedes ' first period Math IV class. Discussing the construction of a right angle are junior Linda Bullock, senior Karen Martin, and sophomore Mark Schwartiel. Improvization helps students grasp fundamental geometric shapes using classroom articles. Sister Mischievous Mercedes gets serious long enough to teach senior Jane Fischer. Remember, Sister, logic is best suited for the illogical. Sister Joseph Marie smilingly approves junior Janet Cervo ' s proof of a simple mathematics problem through the use of geometric principles. In Sister Lenore ' s pre-Algebra course freshmen Mike Roberts, Patty Roberts, and Janet Hall study the system of counting used on the Chinese abacus. Juniors Mary Mullin, Connie Cesnik, and Sharon Pope calculate their experiment data in Miss Ratz ' Chemistry class. Students participate in small groups for lab work so that each may have an active part. Students Probing World of Science In his attempt to recreate the uni- verse, man must have a workable knowledge of science. He will use this knowledge to improve the conditions of the world and the lives of people. Our Science department has taken steps to provide the best learning opportunities available. The curiosity of aspiring scien- tists has been fed by the modern teach- ing techniques. The science labs have some of the latest equipment and addi- tional courses have been offered. Chemistry, Biology, Advanced Biology, and Physics are now available for the inquisitive student. Junior Jean Hawkins won o savings bond from the Heart Association in the Central Indiana Science Fair competition. With her are Marshall McCuen and Louis Marshall, respective president and secre- tary of the Scientech Club. Science Club Secretary Bill Young and member Steve Osborne help Micro-biology workers Patty Beck and Jeff Berty in a sci- ence project with agar in Petri dishes. Miss Allen and Miss Ratz grace Biology class. Miss Allen is a student teacher from Marian College who helped Miss Ratz with science dur- ing a six weeks period. Sophomores Mike McKenna and Tony Nickoloff clean and care for the aquar- ium in Biology class. Their similar in- terest in aquatic projects encourage the boys to learn through actual participa- tion. In the midst of the exotic decor of the Spanish dinner, freshman Aurora LeSanti ploys flamenco and bosso nova guitar. The Latin dinner featured Latin III students performing original routines in English. The French classes featured Dana, Brett, and Renee doing folk songs a la franjais. The successful program was sponsored by the Language department.

CfltUCOLUM ■ADJECIIVE-GENITIVE-APP051TIVE New methods for learning lan- guage and foreign culture are always being used in the class- room. Puppet shows, tape record- ings, projects, Christmas parties, and an international dinner cre- ated an ultra-modern mood for dis- tant classical and contemporary societies. Such means of presenta- tion create interest through in- volvement and the student learns because an original method of in- struction takes the emphasis off the textbook and places it directly on his initiative. Performing for Sr. Sarah ' s Latin class are sopho- more Tony Nickoloff and freshmen Dave Legge and Joanna Kelley. The puppets represent Romans and the dialogue is in classical Latin. On the board is the translation of the patriotic hymn America. Lighting the Chandle de Noel, the symbol of Christmas in France, is sopho- more Liz Ripley. Enjoying the festive occasion are junior Joe Agan and Mr. Wyeth, who still believes in Santa Claus. Discussing an article in a Spanish magazine Hoy Dia; Mrs. Biebriech exchanges ideas with Aluaro Asturias. Aluaro, a student from Guatemala, spent his summer vacation, October thru December, going to school here. With the theme of LATIN IN OUR DAILY EXPERIENCE sopho- more Mary Swinford translates the language of rustic Rome into modern English. At the right, musical terms are expressed in both tongues. Locating San Luis Potosi, junior Mary Milharcic anticipates an eight week vacation during which she will go to school while living with a Mexican family. Mary ' s test scores in a state Spanish contest won her this honor. Social Studies Retell Story of Mankind The history and customs of man influence his life. If we are to have outstanding leaders for our future, then, today, we must learn of the glory and of the failure of our predecessors so their action may direct our decision. The Social Studies department features programs in World History, U.S. History, Government, and Soci- ology. Through films, lectures, and team-teaching, a working definition on the role of man in the develop- ment of the world is explained. World History teaches of the great civilizations of time and of their effect on modern life. U.S. History, specifically treats America in all aspects of foundation and growth. Government instructs young citizens on the laws and practices of the United States, and Sociology deals with man and his relationship with other men. Social Studies are informative and helpful. They enlighten the student by teaching him the wisdom of those who spent lifetimes trying to acquire It. They present an opportunity to study men deemed by his- tory as great, and, through curiosity and appreciation, they encourage some to higher goals in life — the serv- ice of man. mmiM On a day long field trip downtown, Mr. Rickei s Sociology class visits Judge Charles C. Daughtery ' s divorce court to study rea- sons for marital failure in the love-marriage culture. Senior Kirth Roach, a student in Mr. Mears ' Government class, exam- ines o book on the theories of communism in respect to the assets of the capitalistic system of free enterprise.

Barb is a student typist for the Ritter Reporter. For her sales presentation, senior Cyndy Collins demonstrates a stereo record player for prospective buyer Ann Poole. Each stu- dent in Salesmanship performed a presentation as a semester project Our Business department is headed by business majors. Book- keeping, Office Practice, Salesman- ship, Shorthand, Business Law, and Typing I and II are taught to stu- dents whose future career plans demand proficiency in administra- tive, legal, and secretarial work. Bookkeeping is a prerequisite course for economics and accoun- tant positions. Office Practice, Shorthand, and Typing build coor- dination for aspiring secretaries and interested students. Salesman- ship teaches the art of logical sell- ing in the open market, and Busi- ness Law explains the jurisdictional process in the working world. These programs aid the business major and others too, because a knowl- edge of competitive market and cyclic movement stimulate eco- nomic progress in the United States. Bookkeeper Mike Lawhorn w orks on his practice set for a non-existent company Each student had to keep books and v as responsible for financial records for a month of business Mr. Rose supervises freshman David Hubbard ' s use of a floor saw with basic woodcutting in first year shop. With the installation of a jigsaw, lathe, and other industrial tools students are given in- struction in practical arts and also a sample of their individual production. One of the class ' main projects was the refinishing of used furniture. New Shop Assembles Technical Skills Boys wishing to learn carpentry and other techni- cal skills are given a variety of vocational courses to choose from. Mechanical drawing, architectural draw- ing, and shop courses have given them an opportunity to use their creativity and to learn basic building and mechanical techniques. Architectural cirawing students learned complete home building by drawing blueprints and by construction scale models. Here is junior Steve Parshall ' s first place winning entry, complete with grass and shrubbery. At the Practical Arts Fair, senior Bill McClain demonstrates his first place-award winning model home containing lights, painted rooms, and doll-size furniture. ACTIVITIES Dances, contests, and club pro- jects make what students call high school life. Student organi- zations have sponsored a variety of formal and informal activities, ranging from a senior tricycle race to a speech by Mayor Rich- ard Lugar. Music Pows; Marchers Wow! Music! Ritter High resounds with melo- dies of popular songs and marches done by the chorus, dance band, concert band, and marching band. Our Music department, headed by Mr. Hinkle and Mr. Wyeth, adds a remark- able flavor to Raider Spirit. No one can forget the humble beginning four years ago of a six-member band, now seen in the over-powering zest of the forty- member Marching Raiders. The Ritter Singers also began as a small ensemble and yet currently have t venty-t vo ac- tive musicians. Frequently present at home football and basketball games, the Baton Corps shines v ith precision movement and co- ordinated skill. We have created a rich heritage of talent that will be carried on as long as there is . . . Music!

Proud members of homeroom 304 display their trophy best homeroom decorations during Booster Week. Board Continues Booster Tradition The Student Executive Board, one of the new programs initiated in Ritter ' s second year, is the most important student organization. It coordi- nates student activities and serves as a connec- tive bet veen students and faculty. The Board sponsored two annual events, the Snowball Dance and Booster Week, along with the Senior-Faculty basketball game this year. All other student activities had to be approved by the Board to avoid conflicts in dates and use of facilities. The election of Executive Board officers takes place in May with campaign posters and speeches. Each homeroom and the YCS elect a representative and alternate to the Board, all representatives having one vote. In its short life the Board has proven its value to the whole student body. Harry Cangany, National Honor Society President, confers with Marty Lambert, Treasurer; Ken Kanaby, Vice-President; and Elaine Wethington, Secretary, in planning the organization ' s ac- tivities. CR Society Seeks Goal of Service Completing its first full-year of service, the Cardinal Ritter High School chapter of the National Honor Society was highly re- sponsible for an exciting school year. They presented the Indiana State University players in William Shakespeare ' s historical tragedy Henry IV, sponsored the most successful mixer of the year, initiated twenty more students, and invited Mayor Richard Lugar as program speaker. On the physical and more humorous side, the members were known to be cleaners of the school. On three occasions they swept and scrubbed the halls and floors so that the best image of Ritter could be shown. They worked always for scholar- ship, leadership, character, and service. Mayor Richard G. Lugar, guest speaker at the National Honor Society Induction Cere- mony, is accompanied to his car by Harry Cangany, President of the NHS.

This senior-freshman team daintily tromped the juniors and sophomores, 13-0, in the Powder Puff football game organized for the Mental Health Drive. Mr. Rivas and Mr. Richer coached the girls in an exciting game which demonstrated the qility of the future homemakers of America. when all the s vinging arms and legs were untangled, a few teachers were found among the seniors in the Senior-Faculty Basketball Game. The game, sponsored by the Executive Board, was won by the faculty 43-29. Close student-teacher relationships have always been cultivated at Ritter. The effects of the program are demonstrated by Fred Washington and Mr. Henderson In the Senior-Faculty Basketball Miss Walker, Mr. Wyeth, and Miss Ratz backed their team as faculty cheerleaders at the basketball game. Leading original cheers such as Go, Geritol, Go, they urged the teachers on to victory.

' Summer Wind ' Blows OverUpperclassmen Daisies, roses, and carnations bloomed on trees, on walls, and in fountains on May 17 for the Junior-Senior Prom Summer Wind. The junior officers and junior committees which planned the formal affair began to work in the early months of the school year in order that Summer Wind would be the most beautiful event in the history of the school. Couples entered the West Side Knights of Co- lumbus Hall between trees covered with flow- ers and through a white picket fence. Candle- light and many-colored reflections from a re- volving chandelier created the atmosphere of a starlit summer night. Throughout this magi- cal evening, the couples enjoyed the melodies of George Friege and his orchestra. Still excited from the thrill of her coronation. Queen Peggy Mivec and her escort Joe Long waltz in the tradi- tional Queen ' s dance. Jenny Blazic, Pauline Healy, Peggy Mivec, and Karen Johnson were the lovely candidates for queen of Sum- mer Wind. Since the prom was a gift from the juniors to the seniors, the queen candidates v ere seniors. whenever the orchestra played a slow favorite, the dance floor was filled. Between dances, couples had punch and cake, had their pictures taken, or just visited with their friends. Martha Zupancic, the 1967 Prom Queen, happily crowns her best friend Peggy Mivec as her successor. Junior Vice-president Phil Fox presents Peggy with a spray of yellow roses. ATHLETICS Touchdown, homerun, section- als, pin — these words excite memories of frenzied rivalry, unexpected defeat, and joyous victory. Student fans have re- soundingly agreed that the Raid- ers have put on the best shows in town. Raiders Engineer 5-5 Gridiron Season The Raider Man stood high in this first year of rugged city competition. He triumphed and he fell to defeat. His opponents were always older and more experienced, but the sword of his Ritter vengeance fell mercilessly on all. The Raider team was comparably smaller than its foes, but on September 9th, their stamina and per- severance was no longer a secret. Indianapolis papers and sportswriters praised Coach Rose and his men for true football talent and effort. The Raider Man stood tall this year because he gave himself to all who are proud to be called Ritter Raiders. Duties of Mr. Frank Velikan, Ritter ' s athletic director, ii eludes the business of game scheduling and ticket sales.

Rebounding, Hustle, and Defense are three simple components that have contributed to this season ' s highly successful varsity basketball campaign. Ritter ' s squad surprised many unwary opponents and even a fevy home fans by compiling a very respectable 12-9 record. Without the advantage of not- able height and speed, Ritter ' s tenacious defense held their oppo- nents to an average of 59 points a game — best among city competi- tors. Seniors Bill Brothers, Terry Town- send and all city guard Steve Hall combined additional desire and effort to make their final season the team ' s best.

Highlighting the season were two no-hitters each hurled by Ritter ' s Dynamic Duo of John Timme and Mike Purichia. John scored the game ' s only run in his 1-0 triumph over Kennedy while Mike struck out eight and walked three in defeating Deaf School 13-0. Solid hitting and defense are two prod- ucts of a well balanced team and each played an important part in the team ' s winning margin. Good fielding, a Ritter trademark, was demonstrated when the Raiders executed three double plays in a single game with New Palestine. First sacker, Terry Townsend, rounded out the season, batting .400. Pitcher John Timme, also capable with the bat, hit .312, and outfielder Steve Volz was third with .266. Ritter ' s slugging sensation, Terry Townsend, was the recipient of the best player award for carrying the highest batting aver- age on the team (.400). Selected to the all-city team his junior year, Terry also specialized in glove control at first base.

Carrying virtually the entire pitching load, Mike and John hurled the Raiders through a winning season and two no- hltters. A relay from Terry Townsend to Mike Purichia to Ralph Juggy Adams cuts down the Conti- nental express at the plate. The electrifying tension of the contest is mirrored in the faces of fans and players as the Raiders shut-out Washington 3-0. Rounding third base like he ' s heading home for supper, first baseman Terry Townsend turns on the coals and burns toward the plate. Shouting reassur- ance as Terry blurs by is Ritter ' s energetic and en- thusiastic coach Mike Hen- derson. John Timme takes a good hard look at a Chatard fastball frozen in mid air as Mike Purichia leads off second. John did a yeo- man ' s job all year hitting in the number four clean up spot. Second sacker Bill Brothers strikes an imposing stance as he bad-eyes the Continental moundsman. We believe (hope) Bill ' s next swing killed more than just a few flies. Rico Purichia blazes one toward a Continental batter. This victory was his second shut out of the year. Third baseman Jim Farrell prepares to unload the big lumber on Washington as Coach Hen- derson offers some words of wisdom to the rest of the team. Trackmen Hurdle Into Rugged Turf Bill McClain, Ritter ' s all purpose track sensation, zips across the landscape in training for the Sectional Tournament. Bill who runs the 440 dash and own ' s the school record for the mile, qualified for the 880 yard dash in the first round of the tourney. Ritter ' s varsity cindermen proved to every- one that even a team with only five mem- bers can flash through a season and when the going gets tough, still maintain a win- ning vill and driving determination. Some- times stacked against enormous odds, the squad held on to every inch of ground without giving in. This season ' s squad didn ' t register the winningest record in the school ' s history, but the entire squad put to good use the talents that they did possess. Each member is deserving of special praise for showing stamina during the entire sea- son.

The changeover to high school life was not simple, but freshmen shouldered the responsibility energetically. With the largest football turnout in the city, the freshmen showed enthusiasm in working for the good of the school. They participated in classes, organizations, sports, and school activities with a feeling of being on their own and at the same time, with a spirit of community. They helped one another to make Ritter the greatest. These freshmen have had a chance to make their own tradition, to plot their own courses and finally to take their place among the pirates of a new age.

Sophs ' Spirited ' During In-Between Year Even though many people feel that the sophomore year is a letdown in high school life, our class of ' 70 has proven othervt ' ise. No longer green freshies, the sophomores have become accustomed to the operations of the school and have blended into the social life of Ritter. Giv- ing fund-raising drives a boost by head- ing class races, the sophs have shown real potential for leadership and enthusiasm. Their class elections, under the direction of Mr. Dufour, were unique for their rousing campaign speeches. They ' ve had other firsts to add to those of the upperclass- men. Being the first sophomores to receive the combination school class ring added to their importance and sense of belong- ing. The sophomores have been the first class to experience flexible scheduling and team teaching under Sister Sarah and Miss Walker. With their two years of experience with Ritter, we are certain that the sophomores can assume the upper- classmen ' s responsibilities and make Rit- ter great.

Size isn ' t everything and the class of ' 69 has shown Ritter that even the smallest class in school can have plenty of spirit and en- ergy. Previously underestimated, the juniors have proven themselves this past year by assuming the responsibility of planning the successful Junior-Seni-)r Prom. The juniors did not rely on class meetings alone for commu- nication between students and officers; their unique and effective homeroom meetings led by the junior executive board representa- tives dealt with class affairs and strength- ened the contact between the juniors. The candy drive, the first class-sponsored money- making project, was an overwhelming suc- cess and benefited the Prom fund and helped improve school facilities. Being the first to occupy the basement lockers was one of their special privileges. The juniors have experienced a metamorphosis all their own. They have been enthusiastic followers and will be inspiring leaders. miUM Ralph Adams Joe Agon Vicki Armstrong Steve Beck Connie Atelski Patty Bell Terry Baker Patty Boyle Lynne Barnes Maureen Baskerville Carol Beaven Harry Brand Cathy Briskey Linda Bullock k .

Ritter, Seniors Finish First Four Years To the first graduating class of Ritter, this year was a culmination of the three years that have gone before. Each senior remembers his freshman year, when two whole days were spent orienting 150 ignorant eighth-grade graduates, and half the classrooms were unused. A senior recalls the second year when a new class invaded the halls and the student government was conceived. Then there was the junior year, and the first prom, and the first time anyone was an upperclassman. For three years, no older group of students had abused, confused, or lorded over the seniors. Yet, to be a senior, to have the title senior affixed to ev- ery class undertaking — the feeling was all new. Traditions had been set by these students the first three years. But this year the senior students cre- ated the model by which all the future senior classes of Ritter will be judged. Raising money to purchase a flagpole as the senior gift was one of the major goals of the seniors ' officers Mike Legge, Martha Zupancic, Jim Nordmeyer, and Denny Doyle, who devised numer- ous activities for this purpose.

' This gown is so long! wailed the girls, and Here come da judge! rumbled the boys, as the seniors donned their caps and gowns for the first time, just before the Awards assem- bly on Senior Day. For the senior dance Forget-Me-Nof, the cafete- ria, with candlelight and beads, had the appear- ance of an intimate nightclub. Providing the music for dancing at Forget-Me-Nof was Hitter ' s dance band, the Downbeats. Seniors and their dates danced all evening to both romantic and jazz selections. The beat was so ir- resistible that even Mr. Jenks relented and led his wife out to dance. Father Cleary, Archbishop Paul C. Schulte, and Monsignor James P. Galvin, superintendent of Archdiocesan schools and the evening ' s speaker, follow the faculty at commencement exercises, June 6. Hours of practice were scheduled so that commencement exercises would be swift and smooth. One by one, the senior boys move down the bleachers to accept their diplomas. ' T. ' ■.. .K .?: One-hundred-and-forty-four seniors were awarded diplo- mas signifying their success in completing high school. The majority of the graduates will continue in their edu- cation at universities and colleges throughout Indiana and in Colorado, Michigan, and Nebraska. Over $67,000 in scholarships will be awarded to these graduates in the next four years. Class valedictorian Harry Cangany, elected by his fellow seniors to this honor, bids farewell for his classmates. Proudly accepting her diploma from Archbishop Paul C. Schulte, Donna Hadler formally completes her four years at Ritter.

I ' ve got it — ' ignites ' shouts Kevin Killigrew, co-editor of Generation ' 68, as he finds, in the thesaurus, a goldmine of synonyms to complete another headline, one of his specialities. Selecting pictures is only one job of a busy editor, Elaine Wethington discovers. Writing, editing, and typing copy, pre- paring layouts, cropping pictures — you name it — Elaine did it, as Hitter ' s first yearbook editor.
