Editor Mary Ellen Waters Editor Karen Jenkins Do you remember when you entered school as a first grader? You were anxious to begin this new experience, eager to grow both physically and mentally, and thrilled at the prospect of gaining new knowledge and new friends. Time rushed on far too fast. Suddenly one day you had reached that first big important goal — high school graduation. Feelings of happiness and sadness were mingled together. For now you were no longer a part, but only an observer of your school ' s activities. The tests you hadn ' t prepared for, the beauty of Thanks- giving and Christmas convocations, and the tense, exciting moments at basketball games were all memories. Now we stand before the door marked exit. We are about to join those many footsteps that have become memories to Clay School. We, too, will become participants in a new and yet greater ex- perience — the challenge and responsibility of adulthood in an adult world. Bon voyage to our school. We, too, hope to fill the shoes of life as so many of our friends have done before us. We, too, hope to climb to happy successful lives as a fulfillment of the trust placed in us by our school. Each pair of shoes pictured throughout this book represents a person who is or has been a part of Clay School. We, the Class of 1963, are proud to join the 890 people who have graduated from this school. We are happy to contribute this book to the memories of each student, teacher, and patron of Clay who have contributed to this place and have helped it grow to become the wonderful institution of learning that it is. We hope that you will cherish and enjoy this last Geronimo as richly as we have enjoyed preparing it for you. We hope that our special efforts have been successful to make this your golden book of golden memories. Sincerely yours. ayuwJ Editor Qeronimo Staff Sponsor MISS THOMAS Editor KAREN JENKINS Assistant Editor ... __.

Greetings to the Class of 1963 : It has been a privilege for your School Board to have had a small part in your educational accom- plishments. We feel a sincere obligation to the students of Clay Township in providing a good edu- cation with good teachers, good facilities, and a well-balanced educational curricula. Our educational needs today were not the needs of yesterday, and the needs today may not be the needs of tomorrow. So, we, as a Board, feel it our duty to keep abreast, or, to keep ahead of our future needs. It was George Bernard Shaw who said, Do not put the tacks where the rug used to be. Today more than ever before it is necessary for all students to obtain a good education if they are t to meet successfully the challenges our modern society presents to them. This was not as true in the past. It will be much more true in the future. Your School Board appreciates what is found in Proverbs 16:16; How much better is it to get wis- dom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! We wish you much success in all your years to come. May they each be crowned with goodness, contentment, and happiness. Remember your debt to society, and that the finest gift man can give to his age and time is the sift of a constructive and creative life.

To lead us were Mr. Robert Friar and Mrs. Inez Brune- graff, sponsors; Mary Ellen Waters, president; Connie Dyar, vice-president; Connie Sharp, secretary and treasurer; Judy Stites, reporter; and Connie Zehring, student council repre- sentative. The class was delighted to have Connie Dyar elected varsity cheerleader. That year we chose Jerry Miller and Connie Sharp as king and queen candidates for the Halloween Festival. We were sorry to see Millie Miller, leave us, but Trudy Garrard came to join us. In September of ' 60, 39 sophomores were led by Mr. Robert Friar and Mr. Ronald Sullivan, sponsors; Connie Zehring, president; Dave Cagley, vice-president; Connie Dyar, secretary; Mike Fye, treasurer; Trudy Garrard, reporter; and Karen Jenkins, student council repre- sentative. Connie Dyar was re-elected varsity cheerleader. Mike Fye and Connie Dyar were our nominees for king and queen of the Halloween Festival. This year we got our charcoal sweaters and jackets with red and white emblems. We lost several students this year; Bobby Lane, Pat Phillipy, Jerry Glassburn, Sandy Bowland, Verbeta Osborne, Joan Glassburn, Vera Margaret Hahn, Bob Hawkins, David Miller, and Nelson Miller. We gained Cindy Newton, Mike and Nancy Puterbaugh, Mary Lou Smith, Bill Willis, and Bill Gaunt. Frank Riddle stayed for a short while. Thirty-five juniors began in September, 1961. Mr. Friar and Mr. Sullivan were again our sponsors; Jerry Miller, president; Connie Dyar, vice-president; Karen Jenkins, secretary; Verb Bontrager, treasurer; Mike Fye, reporter; Connie Zehring, business manager; Dave Cagley, assistant business manager; and Mary Ellen Waters, student council representative. Connie Dyar was chosen cheerleader for the third consecutive year. As a money making project, we sold concessions at the ballgames. Our king and queen candidates, Larry Wilson and Karen Jenkins, were runners-up at the Halloween Festival. During this year, we re- ceived our long awaited rings and tried our hand in dramatics. We presented a 3-act drama entitled No Deadly Medicine, directed by Mr. Ray Wagner. On May 18, we entertained the seniors at Honeywell Memorial in Wabash and after the reception our parents sponsored a dance at the Converse City Hall. During this year, we lost Sandy Helm and Glenn Hershberger. In the fall of 1962, our fourth and final year, 31 seniors were led by our sponsors Mr. Friar and Miss Susan Feller. Upon Miss Feller ' s leaving in December, Mrs. Olga Breaux replaced her as sponsor. The officers were: John Clester, president; Connie Dyar, vice-presi- dent; Barbara Greeson, secretary; Connie Zehring, treasurer; Mary Ellen Waters, reporter; and Cindy Newton, student Council representative. The class was honored to have Connie Dyar elected cheerleader for the fourth year. This year Jim Yoars and Cindy Newton, our king and queen candidates, took high honors at the Halloween Festival. On November 21, Mary Ellen Waters was crowned the first Homecoming Queen. Again this year we tried our hand in dramatics, but this year we gave a 3-act comedy entitled One Foot In Heaven, di- rected by Mr. Wagner. We lost Betty Cooley, Connie Sharp, Sherry Whaley, Bill Gaunt, and Rita Dangerfield; but gained John Shrock. Our money making projects included the selling of candy, key chains and bracelets. We also had skating parties, car washes, and a dance after the 4-Way Tourney. Other highlights of the year included the Junior-Senior Reception on May 17, Baccalaure- ate on May 19, the Commencement on May 21, and the nine day trip to Gettysburg, Washing- ton, D.C., New York, and Niagara Falls. 22 JUNIOR CLASS PLAY April 6 and 7 Helen — Connie Dyar Miss Hawkins — Darlene Wood Marilyn — Sandy Helm Pam — Joyce Mast Dr. Pearson — Mike Fye Miss Bannister — Karen Jenkins John Alexander — David Cagley Diane Hughson — Barbara Greeson Dr. Howard — Joe Clester Dr. Susan Shawcross — Judy Stites Dr. O ' Donnell — John Clester Dr. Lucy Grainger — Judy Martin Dr. Margaret Brown — Connie Jo Sharp Dr. Rufus— Jerry Miller Harry Lorenzo — Jim Yoars Dr. Coleman — Connie Zehring Elizabeth — Cindy Newton Dr. Anne Harvey — Paula Helton Student Nurses — Betty Cooley, Phyllis Ramsey, Mary Stout, Verba Marie Bontrager Lighting — Bob Runyan flo Deadly Medicine Two different types of plays were produced by the Class of ' 63. Our Junior Play, No Deadly Medicine, was a drama centering around the activities and events of a hospital. Our second at- tempt at acting was a story of a more humorous nature concerning a minister ' s family, One Foot In Heaven. Many weeks of hard work proceeded each performance, but there was also time for lots of fun and food at every practice. The casts enjoyed their short acting careers very much and appreciated the patience and expert guidance of the director, Mr. Ray Wagner.

At the beginning of the school year the Juniors were ready for lots of fun, but they were also seriously considering their plans for a future occupation. How they did on the latter we don ' t know, but the Class of ' 64 certainly had lots of fun. Their first semester party was held at the home of Jeanne Rooksberry. Games and that old stand-by, food, were enjoyed. Custom dictates that the Junior Class always sells concessions. This kept them busy at the Halloween Festival, ballgames, and after dances. They really didn ' t mind selling their items, but it was the cleaning up afterwards they really loved! As Sophomores they were excited when their class jackets and sweaters arrived, but the ordering and receiving of their rings made them just as excited. There were a variety of styles and colors of stones among the class members this year, and all of the rings were very pretty. A dance symbolizing Valentines Day was sponsored by the Juniors after one of our ball games. The lovely decorations helped to make it an extra-special event. On April 5 and 6 they presented their first class play. The class planned for weeks for their last big event as Juniors — the Junior-Senior Reception at Honeywell Memorial. They did a fine job of making the evening a success. Members of the Junior Class have been an important part of all our many school activities and events. 26 Tom Agness Charlie Barnett Jane Ann Berglan Charlotte Bowman Balph Feller Terry Fye Phyllis Gaskins Thomas Glassburn Becky Herrell David Hostetler Jim Klise Don Lape Sherry Lorenz Nancy Martin David Mast Judy Miller Terrell Myers Donna Overman Do n Ploughe Janet Powell Sponsored by Peerless Plumbing and Heating Kokomo, Indiana Janet Sue Rickard Nona Rickard Jeanne Rooksberry Roger Sommers Dean Swartzentruber Janet Watson Jim Wilson LEFT TO RIGHT: Kay Rickard, Reporter; Phyllis Hahn, Vice-President; .Connie Miller, Treas- urer; Vickie Miller, Secretary; Rick Miles, President; and Sponsors, Mrs. Wolfe and Miss Thomas.

The Sophomores found it difficult to decide the color and style of their new jackets and sweaters. Members of the Class of 1965 were anxious to begin their second year of high school. The first major event of the year was the Halloween Festival. The Sophomores chose to have a variety show as their part in making the evening a success. They presented the television favorite, Queen For A Day, with a few slight changes. Their happiest moment was the arrival of those bright royal blue jackets and sweaters with a big red M on the side. The Sophomores could be seen for miles after that, but everyone had to admit that their jackets were really sharp. Swimming was enjoyed at the first semester class party with refreshments served at the home of Phyllis Hahn. As proof of their support for our basketball team, the sophs participated in a thrilling game during one of our pep sessions. It was the girls versus the boys. Who won?

When school began in September, the Junior High students were ready for a year of new experiences. At the Halloween Festival they had the Hit Punkie in which points were scored by throwing a ping-pong ball through the mouth of a pumpkin face. Although the Junior High basketball team had their ups and downs, the students were very proud of them. The Junior High students participated in Pep Club, music contests, and other school activities. 38 Eighth Ted Agness Barbara Bell Barbara Bontrager Jock Brankle Gary Exmeyer Patty Fox Dale Gaskin Shirley Graber Bonnie Helton Ruth Jenkins Wanda Kendall Wayne King Lois Kling ' I, i.J ' ,s T ' ' Mary Miller Sandra Shackelford Gary Townsend Barry Worl Sponsored by Peggy ' s Gift Shoppe Amboy, Indiana 39 Seventh Sharon Acord Micheal Blackburn Charles Bowland Linda Correll Pamela Correll Gailon Garling Micheal Glassburn Carol Greeson Bill Hopper Kathy Johns Rosemary Kling Larry Marner Adrian Martin Bob Martin Ethan Miller Lloyd Miller Marcia Miller Bonnie Shrock Mildred Stites Judy Whiterd Sponsored by Karlette Flower Shop Peru, Indiana 40 '  , A, ) ' •I Hi Elementary W ' , ' -- t 6te Element ary Zeaehers 42 Myer ' s Auto Repair Service Plevna, Indiana Sharlott Acord Gary Bell Roger Betzner Eva Bontrager Paula Bowland Linda Clark Terry Dean Dennis Fewell Gary Gilbreath Deana Glassburn Jim Glassburn Paulette Glassburn Linda Holder Debbie Johns Susan King Richard Kuntz Steven Maple Bonnie Martin Lynette Martin Elizabeth Mast Rex Medlen Roger Miller Susan Miller Patrick Puterbaugh DeWayne Roberts Jeffrey Sampsel Alan Stites Kathy Townsend Tom Wagner Sponsored by Bly ' s Rexall Drugs Converse, Indiana Daten Acord Frank Bargerhuff Galen Bontrager Nila Boone Beth Briner Joyce Fox Larry Gingerich Max Gingerich Jay Glassburn Sandra Glassburn Ruth Graber Eddie Hopper Jay Jenkins Doug LeMaster Bonnie Miller Larry Miller Raymond Miller Craig Myers Anita Roberts Danny Shackelford Beth Ann Shinn Joyce Shrock James Stites Deloris Troyer Stephen Townsend Jeanette Acord Marjorie Acord Roger Agness Jackie Bell Juanita Clark Angela Fye Manuel Gonzales Rosalinda Gonzales Naomi Graber Ricky Lee Graber David Green Denise Harts Eric Hiers Stephen Holder Sandy Jo Kendall Mikel Kling Kathy Kuntz Dennis Maple Linda Marner Carolyn Martin Rex Martin Linda Miller Glenda Mishler Joe Perry John Runyan Johnathan Sampsel fourth W i !

Student Council The Student Council was originated to provide a practical training ground in the democratic prog- ress, to promote better faculty-student relations, and to encourage the students to assume more re- sponsibility in the school community. The Council ' s members represent grades 7-12 and the extra- curricular clubs and organizations. Some of the responsibilities of the Student Council are the Halloween Festival, cheerleader try- outs, school convocations, all-school parties, provisions for a forum for discussion of school prob- lems, and the promotion of a positive school spirit. These students deserve much credit for the contribution of their time, energy, and enthusiasm. igs-elil ft ' ft H S OFFICERS, left to right: Secretary, Jane Ann Berglan; Vice-President, Darlene Wood; President, Karen Jenkins; Treasurer, Jim Wilson.

School Public education began in Clay Township in 1842 when a log school house was built one half mile east of Wawpecong. This was on the present site of the D. L. Maple residence. After the township was organized in 1846, it was divided into districts with a school in each district. The school term ranged from thirty to ninety days and was based on what the parents could afford to pay. Three trustees were elected annually to operate the schools. Among their duties were hiring the teachers and deciding the amount of their salary, both in money and farm produce. Each teacher hired was expected to have a general knowledge of reading, writing, and arithmetic. In 1859 the trustees ' office was consolidated into one office with one man to be elected annually. He was to receive a salary of twenty-one dollars per year. In 1913 there were ten grade schools in the township valued at $10,600. The ten teachers received a combined salary of $3,760. During this time any student d esiring a high school education attended the Amboy, Bunker Hill, Howard Township, or Kokomo Schools. These ten schools formed a close family relationship between neighbors and teacher. The students enjoyed the many good times they had in these small schools. Then a new era came along. It was decided that the small school must go, and there was to be one new school building near the center of the township which would combine and include all twelve grades. With the supervision of the trustee, B. F. Jenkins, and his advisory board, Emerson Dunlap, Charles Irvin, and Joseph Anderson, a new site on the 0. C. Kling farm was chosen. A new school building, Clay Township High School, was erected at a cost of $120,000. This was a great advancement in education, not only for the students in Clay Township, but also for the surrounding townships. These included Harrison, Deer Creek, and Washington. In the fall of 1922 school was delayed for three weeks to allow completion of the new build- ing. When the first day of school did arrive, it was a thrill for the students to ride on hacks. This truly was a beginning of a new school experience. Two of the hacks were drawn by horses and four were Model T Fords. The first drivers were Sherman Kendall, Forest Glass- burn, Walter Wolf, Willis Hostetler, John Christner, and Elmer Warfelt. All students living within a mile of the school had to walk. When the students finally arrived at the new school and entered the beautiful building, there were many mixed emotions as they walked through the large halls wondering which room would be theirs. They were surprised to see so many modern conveniences that they were not accustomed to. The first teachers were Harvey Hartley — principal, Wendall Lamb, Josephine Lamb, and John Bart Conn. They taught the seventh and eighth grades and the first three high school grades. There was no senior class the first year. The high school enrollment during the initial year was forty-two. Miriam Shrock taught the first and second grades; Ada Wright taught grades three and four; and Edward Lippold was the fifth and sixth grade teacher. Miss Ethel Ellars sub- stituted several weeks for the third and fourth grades during that first year of school. The next year she started teaching full time and has taught at Clay every year since. Curley Clymer was the first janitor. 74 Eleven trustees had served the township before the building of the new school, and the following have served since: Ben Jenkins, Charles Irvin. Treat Morton. Pete Klingman, D. L. Maple, Wayne Fye, and Verlin Kling. Until the new school board was organized, the trustees had a major role in the administration of the school. Principals who have served are Harvey Hartley, 1922-1923; T. A. Shivery, 1923-1925; Glenn Nelson. 1925-1930; T. A. Shively, 1930-1946; Robert Curless, 1946-1947; Builford Gurtner, 1947-1951; Leonard Freed, 1951-1959: Max Brewer. 1959-1962: Jonathon Ellers. 1962-1963. There were many interesting things that occurred during the last forty-one years of school. Memories will quickly turn back to class parties, senior trips, or perhaps the cold rides on the hack. Those people who were in school in 1936 remember when several teachers, stu- dents, and the trustee were marooned in the school by a snow blizzard which piled up drifts from three to five feet across the roads. In addition the temperature dropped to a minus 19 degrees. Blankets were brought in from cars, food was brought in from Gerhart ' s, and the students slept on tables and gym bleachers. Some of the high school boys helped shovel coal in the furnace to keep the building warm. The next afternoon the roads were opened enough to get all home safely. In 1925 Tom Mix, noted cowboy star who was in Peru with the circus, came to school. This was a great thrill for all. The large assembly room which was later divided into three rooms was used for good times when the teacher left for a few minutes. One man teacher decided to check on the students. There was one glass out of the west doors, and he went out in the hall and put his head through the opening. Unfortunately he was unable to remove it without help. In 1940 under the supervision of Treat Morton, trustee, a new vocational agriculture building was built west of the school at a cost of $2000. Charles Lash was the first agricul- ture teacher to use the new building. This was a valuable addition to the school. In 1949 under the supervision of D. L. Maple a much-needed gym was built at a cost of $95,000, and the old gym was converted into a cafeteria. During these forty-one years there have been many other changes and improvements to the building that have added much to the school and have kept it in good repair. There have been nineteen annuals published. The first in 1930 was called the Reflector. Since that time they have been called K-EL-A, Smoke Signals, Chieftain, Red Arrow, and Geronimo. The Clay School has had a library, band, glee club, school paper, basketball team, baseball team, track squad, speech club, plays, and many more activities that have left a lasting impression to which the community can point with pride. As the 1963 school year comes to a close, the Clay Township School will have graduated 919 students. Four hundred and ninety of this number were transferred from the surround- ing townships. This school, which bore the name Clay Township Indians, was representative of a far greater area. It represented the united and consolidated effort of both parents and students from Clay and the neighboring townships of Deer Creek, Harrison, Butler, Jackson, and Wash- ington. It has been through the combined efforts of all of these people that the ledger of this school ' s proud record has been written. There are many more memorable and interesting things that could be said about the school, faculty, and students of Clay Township. These memories, however, will fall into oblivion — the victim of Father Time. The one legacy which will be willed to the new Maconaquah School is the dedication to truth and high character which has been such a vital part of this greater Clay School Community. 75 Clay faculty 1923-24 THOMAS SHIVELY, Principal B.
