In this year of 1953, the Chesterton school system is celebrating its one hun- uredth year of existence. This anniversary should do more than remind one of a milestoneg it should cause people to stop and consider tfhe importance of educatio and should help to promote the ideals which the early pioneers of Chesterton all America established. Page Seven nr and Highlights in The History of the Class of V953 It seems like only yesterday that a group of 94 timid and bewildered students enrolled at CHS as freshmen, and thus began four years of happy, carefree learning. Our class sponsors that yearg Miss Booher, Miss Hoare, and Mr. Hageman: quickly organized things and in our first class elec- tion, we chose Earl Ferguson as presidentg Dave Parry as vice-president, Maggie Tinsley as secretary- treasurer, and Marcee Young' as student council representative. The freshman-sophomore reception was our first lbig social event and we really felt as if we were a part of the school at last. The next year there were 99 boisterous kids, ready for another year of fun. For our leaders that year, we elected Don Lowery, presidentg John Smith, vice-president, Glenda Wallin, secretary, Dor- othy Boersma, treasurer, and for student council representative we chose Joan McAvoy. Miss Sayers, Mr. Sipe, and Mr. Johnson were our sponsors. In the social world, we held a reception for those green freshmen and also had a class outing at Clear Lake near the end of the year. There were 96 new important upper classmen in the fall of '51, and We all took on that air of distinction that comes with increased knowledge. We were busy raising funds: we sold everything from popcorn and magazines to Diaper Dans. Our officers that year were Joan McAvoy as presi- dent, Bruce Betterton as vice-president, Glenda Wallin as secretary, Marilyn Cook as treasurer, Des Stack as student council representative, and Art Price was elected vice-president of the Student Council. The Junior Prom was the highlight of our Junior year. It was held at Marquette Park Pavillion and everyone had a -wonderful ti.me. In September of '52, 83 sophisticated Seniors returned to complete their last two semesters of high school eduaction. John Smith was elected class president, Bruce Betterton, vice-president: Glenda Wallin, secretary, and Marilyn Cook, treasurer. Art Price was chosen to lead the student council. Our sponsors were Mrs. Koch, Mr. Goldsborough, and Mrs. Dold. Our final year was high- lighted by several enjoyable events, including our trip to Indianapolis, the Fall Fiesta, and of course, the Prom. Before we knew it, it was over-and we had completed one of the most important periods in our lives. Page Eight Arthur Earl Price fiArtn I like a girl with a good head on my shoulder.

Sandra Young, Bob Westergren, Leon Cheesbrough, Marcee Young, Supervising numerous activities and solving various problems of the students are the chief duties of the Chesterton High School Student Council. The student council is the oldest organization in the school, operating continually under its constitution adopted in 1921. The council is composed of ten members a president, a vice-president, the presidents of the four classes and a special representative from each. The seventh and eighth grades are represented by non-voting observers. Heading the student government is the president of the student body, a senior elected by the popular vote of the school. The president is assisted by the vice-president who is constitutionally required to be a junior. The council meets regularly to conduct the business of providing a form of self-government for the school. Discussion of various problems which arise during the course of the year and obtaining a workable solution to them consume most of the time devoted to meetings. Considerable work is done outside of meetings. however, by the members in supervising the various activities sponsored by the council such as the intramural basketball program and the noon recreational program. Members of the student council in 1952-53 were: Art Price, president: Irwin Boo, vice-presidentg John Smith, Marcee Young, Rose Peer, Leon Cheesbrough, Joan Hroma, Bob Westergren, John Las- coe, and Sandra Young.

The school newspaper, Scoop, is published for the purpose of keeping the students of the school informed on all the up-to-date happenings, and to help familiarize the members of the staff with newspaper work. In addition to the regular issues, two extras were put out-one for the cheerleader election and the other for the sectionals. An April Fool issue was also published. Two social events spiced the working year of the staff. The first event was a party held at the home of Bill Hokanson April 10, and the other, the annual spring outing.

The Biology Club of Chesterton High School is composed of students interested in natural science. The aims of the club are to carry out a- program of activities to promote interest, increase knowl- edge, and perfect skills in biological study. Officers of the club were: president, Jim Strangeg vice-president, Terry Stokes, and secretary- treasurer, Betty Nordholm. Mr. McCord was faculty sponsor.

Science Fair Norman Crowell took second place with his project demon- strating transmission of sound by light waves. This exhibit was named most outstanding in the local school Science Fair held two weeks previous to the County Science Fair. Also recommended by the judges for participating in the National Science Fair at Oak Ridge, was Tom Johnson who exhibited a photoelectric stress analyzing apparatus. Page Forty-seven The Porter County Science Fair was held in the Chesterton High School library on April 20 and 21. The Winners, sponsored by the Porter County Medical So- ciety, were sent to participate in the National Science Fair at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Library Assistants Shirley Lorenz, Mrs, Decker, Ellen Hanna, Marcia Peer, Kay Isbey. Barbara Kolic. The library assistants are those students who, because of their interest in working with books, have volunteered their time and services in performance of the duties given them, thereby aiding the librarian. Fine Arts he XS' The class in fine arts is more essentially an organization because of the various activities carried out as group projects. Instruction in all fields of art is maintained to develop artistic ability in the students.

NON PARADE The band began the year's actvities by trav- eling to Bloomington to take part in the Indi- ana High School Band Day at Indiana Univer- sity. The band also paraded for the Boosters, Halloween, and Fire Prevention Week. In December, 30 members of the band took part in the Porter County Music Festival at Valpo. A Pops Concert was presented in January and the annual spring concert was held in May. On March 18 the band journeyed to the Em- erson and Wirt schools to present a program of popular selections in return for concerts given by these schools at Chesterton. Officers of the band were Bob Young, presi- dentg Bob Blumer, vice-president: Eleanor Ho- , kanson, secretary-treasurer, and John Canright, Q student director.

D ave Wood January Thaw by William Roos, was presented by the senior class April 23 and 24, 1953. The play, adapted from the novel by Bellamy Partridge, takes place in an old house in Connec- ticut, brought by the Gage family and restored to its early colonial condition. The plot is built around the difficulties encountered when the Rockwoods, former owners presumed dead, return from a six- year trip and claim their right to live in the house as stipulated in the deed. Much of the chagrin of the Gages, who have three daughters, the Rockwoods 'have a son of questionable ambition who, though actually harmless, provides much humor to the entangled affairs when it appears that he and the oldest daughter, Barbara, elope, leaving her nance, George, out in the cold. To make things more interesting the Gages are New York Democrats while the Rockwoods are staunch New England Republicans. Adding to the plot is another character, t'Uncle Walter, who is just as much a Republican as the Rockwoods. Page Fifty-six The Rockwoods are determined to live without modern inconven- iences which fail the Gages when a storm hits, leaving them without heat, light, and food. Herbert Gage is stubbornly opposed to accepting anything from the Rockwoods lest they become obligated, but finally succumbs to the effects of cold and hunger which already had caused his long-suffering wife and rebellious children to take refuge with the Rockwoods.

The Y-Teen Club, which is ai branch of the Y.W.C.A., is organized essentially as a service organization. Any high school girl who is will- ing to accept the Y-Teen purpose is eligible to belong. Y-TEEN PURPOSE To build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Chris- tians. In this endeavor we seek to understand Jesus, to 'share His love for all people and to grow in the knowledge and love of Godf' The Senior Y-Teens have done many serv- ices this year, such as sending chocolate to the children of Hong Kong, making favors for a nursing home, and sending clothes to needy people. Candy sales, snow shoveling, and baby sitting are projects designed to help with the Officers expenses of the services. In September a- beach party was given for all freshmen girls. Dancing classes were held with teachers from the Arthur Murray studios offici- ' ating. The Cinderella Ball, a formal dance, was held on November 15, at the Gary Y.W.C.A. Doloris Bendenkop, secretary: Joanne Miller, treasurer: Joy Michaels, vice president: Glenda Wallin, president. and a style show, sponsored by Agnes Ohming of Michigan City, was held April 14, with mem- bers of Y-Teens acting as models.

Because of the disadvantages in an organization that had become too large to insure best results, it was deemed necessary to split the Hi-Y Club into two groups. Early in the year the underclassmen formed a separate, independent club, the Junior Hi-Y, which is limited to freshmen and sophomores. However, throughout the year, the two clubs remained in close contact with each other and co-operated in the furtherance of their identical standards, the encouragement of: Clean Scholarship, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, and Clean Living. Officers of the Junior Hi-Y were Bill LaTour, Presidentg Bob Demass, Vice Presidentg Bruce Cas- well, Secretaryg Wes Brandt, Treasurerg Terry Stokes, Sergeant-at-arms, and Dave Coombs, Chaplain. Mr. Johnson sponsored the group. Page Sixty Senior I-li-Y Row 1: Richard Wiggins, Ron Jensen, Bruce Betterton, Bud Dillon, Leon Cheesbrough, Ralph Bradley. Row 2: Mr. Munro.

The Hi-Y Club is a branch of the national YMCA and is organized essentially to give service to the school. The ideals of the club are expressed in its aims: to promote high standards of Christian character throughout the school, home, and community. Officers of the club in 1952-53 were: Bruce Betterton, President, Ron Jensen, Secretaryg Bud Dillon, Treasurer, and Leon Cheesbrough, Chaplain. A Porter County YMCA council was formed by representatives from the various affiliated boys' and girls' clubs in the county. Ralph Bradley and Richard Wiggins represented Chesterton and were elected to serve as chairman and treasurer of the group respectively. Besides numerous service projects the club held its annual spring dance April 4, in the Lions Club building. Mr. Munro served as faculty sponsor to the club. Page Sixty-one G. A. A.

Page Sixty-four Cheedeaders A new method of electing cheerleaders was initiated by the Boosters' Clwb in the fall of 1952. Two girls from each class were chosen instead of two freshmen as was formerly the plan. The v a r s i t y cheerleaders were, left to right: Judy Thurs- ton, Sue Warner, Maggie Tins- ley, and Shirley Lindstedt. Under their direction, Ches- terton High School was award- ed the trophy for the most out- standing cheering section in the Porter County Tourney. This was the third time the award went to Chesterton High School in the last five years. The other two years the Trojans carried off the victors' trophy. Leading the cheers in sup- port of the junior varsity Tro- jans were, left to right: Sandra Young, Merilyn Meyers, Kay Bergquist. and Anita Bush. Pep Band The Pep Band was re-organ- ized at the beginning of the basketball season for the pur- pose of furnishing spirited and colorful nrusic at games and pep sessions. These boys will- ingly gave their tiine and gen- erously contributed their abili- ties in support of the team and school. Boosters AT The Sectiona ls The Boosters' Club of Chesterton High School was handicapped in its support of the Trojans by the fact that all games, except one, were played out of towng but despite the unfavorable conditions the Boosters carne through with loyal and spirited backing, Mr. Betz sponsored the club and or- ganized the colorful block C section for the County and Sectional Tourna- ments. Officers of the club were Marcee Young, president, Bill Johnson, vice- president, and Kathleen Parry, secre- tary-treasurer. The club held the annual Booster Parade preceding the opening game of the season and at the close of the sea- son sponsored a basketball queen con- test to raise funds for the purchase of an electric scoreboard. ll - - - If Trolans Trallmg Page Sixty-five AdminisTraTion i L MR.

Despite the tearn's batting average of only .206, they took advantage of every break and with jet', speed on the bases, scored the necessary runs when needed.

Art Price and Bill Blake handled the pivot spot and their fine team play and scoring in the clutch was responsible for many of the Trojan wins. The Trojans scored 1294 points in 22 games for an average of 58.5 points per game, while hold- ing their opponents to 1081 for an average of 49.1, giving an edge of 9.7 points per game.
