We Had Time For Fun A Whale Of A Team That Won ' t Eat D-Feet was the theme of the Freshman float that won second prize. The theme of th e winning float made by the Seniors was Grab A Victory illustrated by an octopus with one leg over the goal post. t Probably one of the greatest honors a girl in Carmel High School may achieve is being chosen Homecoming Queen. The requirements are a pleasant personality and a pretty face as shown by the 1959 Queen, Judy Parks, Junior and her court: Sue Devine, Freshman; Carol Pattison, Sophomore; and Jane Baur, Senior. Their escorts are Boo Sinnock, Dave Miller, Steve Godwin, and Donn Fry. The football season rolled around, with it came Homecoming. The students, their en- thusiasm at its highest peak, worked together to produce this event which all would re- member. The night before the game, a parade consisting of the team on the fire engine, the band, and all enthusiastic boosters of the team marched through the streets of Carmel. On the gridiron after the parade, around a large bonfire, the fans cheered for the team. In order to build spirit even higher, in the afternoon pep session, the cheerleaders and the football players placed Frankie, standing for Franklin, in the trash can where he rightfully belonged. All of this spirit and trust in the team was not in vain. The Hounds played one of the best games of the season when they defeated Franklin 33-6. This was our first Homecoming victory in four years.

And We Played Some Too Don Wood, Johnny Marsh, and Taylor Wilson exhibit their strength while doing push-ups. Barbara West and Dallana Page thoughtfully study the parts from the model of the human torso as they remove them. An important part of a high school education is spent in the student ' s Health and Safety classes and Physical education classes. He has learned how to maintain a healthy body and in the future he may utilize his knowledge while raising a family. In his physical education classes he was taught funda- mentals of sports, rules of games, sportsmanship, and he was able to build up his body physically. His goal was to achieve the summit of good living. In the years of 1959 and 1960, there were 130 girls enrolled in Mrs. Verplank ' s and Miss Williamson ' s physical education classes, 60 of which were Freshmen, 65 Soph- omores, and 5 assistants. Mr. Shepherd ' s physical education classes had 124 boys enrolled. Approximately 62 were Freshmen and 62 were Sophomores. The girls ' Health and Safety classes consisted of 62 students: 57 Freshmen, 1 sophomore, Uunior and 3 Seniors. Meanwhile, the boys ' classes had 89 enrolled. There were 75 Freshmen, 7 Sophomores, 6 Juniors and 1 Senior. The girls ' activities in their physical education classes were: calisthenics, kickball, and basketball, and the boys ' were: touch football, cross country, basketball, dodge ball, and calisthenics. Both the boys ' and girls ' Health and Safety Classes studied the different systems of the body. As Diane Haston and Wanda Smith study the chart ex- plaining the doll representing the human body, Connie Hughey looks at the doll.

And For Dancing Queen of the 1959 Prom was Wendy Wilson, Senior. Her escort was Greg Ferrin. The entertainment was outstanding and definitely made the Prom even more enjoyable. The 1959 Prom was held In the Carmel High School cafeteria on Saturday, May 16 at 7:30 P.M. The theme, Shangri-la, was carried out through the use of Chinese lanterns and soft lights. The preparation by the Junior class for the Prom took a lot of hard work but the result was worth it all. The people deserving the most credit were Nancy Irvine, head chairman, and her committee chairmen, Janet Mayo, Cherie Luke, Sharon Kinnaman, Gail -Dorsey, Don Lawhead, Linda Schmidlin, and their committees. After a delicious dinner of ham, baked potatoes, salad, tomato juice, milk, and lime sherbet and butter cookies for dessert, the dancing began to the music of Vic Knight and his orchestra. During the evening the Prom guests were entertained by T. R. and the Rockets from Washington High School and the Aristo-cats from Shortridge with rock- ' n- roll music. It was a night to remember for a long time. The joy and happiness of this occasion may be seen written all over the countenances of the many people there.
