Many hours of serious study have been spent within your walls, much knowl- edge has been gained here. You have always provided a well-trained faculty for us. You have provided competitive sports which have taught us how to win and how to lose. You have given us many good times to remember and many friendships we shall never forget. Though the old must always make way tor the new, we shall never forget you, and so we present, Converse High School, A Tribute To You CONVOCATIONS were held almost every Friday. They included pep sessions, guest speakers, exchange programs, panel discussions, concerts, and plays. Activities during and after HOT LUNCHES were furnished at a low cost to all pupils who desired them. Although the students did not enjoy waiting in a long line, they were rewarded with well-rounded meals. ff?

All year the custodians kept the schoolhouse, gymnasium, and school grounds clean and in good repair. In addition to these duties, during the spring and summer they kept the baseball diamond and track in good condi- tion, painted both the schoolhouse and the gym- nasium, and varnished all the floors in the school- house. The cooks spent tive days a week in the kitchen planning and cooking meals that would keep us healthy and happy. They not only cooked our meals but they also washed dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and disposed of our garbage. Although the bus drivers did not stay at school with us, we depended on them to bring the country boys and girls to and from school safely and to keep the buses in good repair. In addition to this they transported us back and forth to many basketball games and other extracurricular activities.

Science and math challenge The importance ot science has only recently be- gun to be fully realized. We need not only scientists, engineers, and technicians, but all ot us need to have a fuller knowledge of science in order to be vvell-rounded citizens in the modern vvorld. The tirst objective of science courses is to de- velop scientitic attitudes-curiosity, open-mindedness, and the ability to use scientific methods in solving problems. Other goals ot science courses are to de- velop the desire to achieve and to maintain good health tor oneself and tor the community, to pro- mote conservation of natural resources, to develop hobbies, and to help discover vocational interests. The goals ot biology, in addition to these, are to develop understanding ot plants and animals be- longing to the environment and understanding ot lite processes. In biology these aims are achieved by compara- tive study ot plants from microscopic forms to trees. Biology students studied representative animals of a group, learning their habits, body structure, and lite processes. They also studied the basic concepts of heredity. Chemistry students studied elements and com- poundsftheir chemical and physical properties, re- actions vvith other chemicals, and the equations re- lating to the reactions. After this study they per- tormed experiments vvith the element or compound, observed the results, and answered the questions in the Workbook. GLENDA JOHNSON confers with Miss Norris about a geometry problem. Students found that teachers were willing to help answer questions. us and hold a bright future In recent years the public has developed a sharp interest in science and mathematics. Because of this interest, anyone advancing his knowledge of mathe- matics has automatically been placed in the scientific mechanism of the atomic world. At Converse High School, however, the applica- tion of the principles of mathematics to the problems of everyday living was not forgotten, while at the same time teachers strove to give their pupils a good preparation for college. Seventh and eighth grade pupils learned new skills while constantly reviewing old skills. Early de- velopment of the skill of taking words out of a writ- ten problem and translating them into mathematical symbols was stressed. ln a general mathematics course pupils received training in mathematics that is needed in the shop, in the store, in the kitchen, and in ordinary business affairs. lt included training in arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Geometry and trigonometry students learned how to reason and how to calculate problems they will meet in everyday life. Geometry students learned the basic definitions, axioms, and propositions, work- ing the related problems on the board. Trigonom- etry students studied the relationships between lines as the angle between them varies. MRS MORGAN supervises whxle Jim Golliher Jim Brown, and Marvin Mooneyhan experiment with the tape recorder. We strive to communicate better After developing the desire to be understood, speech students tried to develop good speech habits, poise, and the ability to think on one's feet. To ac- complish these ends they studied the various types of public speeches, debate, discussion, and oral in- terpretation of literature. The first semester of English was spent studying written communication skills, including theme writ- ing, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. Vo- cabulary and spelling were also stressed. The second semester was spent studying literature. BUSlLY LOOKING UP vocabulary words for English class is Amaryllis Sheneman. English students also studied spelling and grammar and wrote themes. lt is a recognized tact that history repeats itself. This being true, the history of the past enables us to better solve the problems of the present and anticipate the problems of the future. As vve study the lives of the great men and women of the past and appreciate the contributions they have made to civilization, we are determined to preserve this rich heritage for our posterity. Students of Latin find that it helps them in mastering their English grammar, aids logical thinking, and ac- quaints them with one of the greatest cultures the world has ever produced. Latin terms and expressions are used in various pro- fessions. They are especially evident in medicine, nurs- ing, pharmacy, and journalism. Those who have a Latin background have a definite advantage in these fields. LATIN TENSES seem to present no problem to Tom Green. Here he coniugates the present and future tenses of video.

By studying and doing we gain Every student over fifteen years old is given the opportunity to enroll in a course of driver's educa- tion. The purpose of the class is to make the best drivers possible out of the students. This is done by increasing their knowledge of the automobile and by developing proper driving habits and attitudes. The student spends four days of the week in the classroom learning the rules, regulations, and con- duct of the highway. The remaining time is spent in the dual control car forming skills that will make him a good driver. In home economics girls learned many things that will help them be good wives. Freshmen learned food preparation and serving, clothing preparation and construction, and social behavior. Sophomores studied meal planning and advanced nutrition, kit- chen arrangements, home nursing, and child care. House planning and advanced clothing construction were stressed in iunior home economics. Seniors studied cooking and meal planning, marriage and social relations, and tailoring. CHANGING A TIRE is one of many things learned in driver's edu- cation classes. Here Mr. McDonald, Torn Miller, and John Rose show Marcia Dickensheet how to avoid being stranded with a tlat tire. XEN PRICKETT learns to use a dictaphone as he types. The dictaphone plays back recorded messages for typing. experience to aid us in life Business education courses as a whole have sev- eral obiectives. These include equipping pupils, re- gardless of future occupation, with business skills and knowledge useful in personal business and con- sumer activities, as well as promptness in preparing personal and business reports. In all business education courses at Converse High School these objectives were stressed, with the hope that they would carry over into future business and personal situations. Another course designed to help pupils in the future is vocational guidance. Vocational guidance, which was given to the sophomore boys, attempted to equip them better to make the choice of a iob, which ranks along with choosing a wife as one of the two most important decisions a man will make. The sophomore boys studied the different families of vocations, the characteristics of a good employee, what an employer wants from an employee, and the correct way to go about getting a iob. PLANNlNG MY FU- TURE appears to be an appropriate title for the guidance textbook. Mr. Ford shows Jim Bow- man, Eddie Hardin, and John Howard the various fields of work. HULA HOOPS hit Con- verse this year. Nancy Myers, Becky Riley, and Susan Warnock display their ability at hula hoop spinning as Mrs. Hamilton looks on. Phys. Ed. strengthens our bodies Physical education's aim is to strengthen bodies and develop co-ordination. Calisthenics were used in both boys' and girls' classes to warm up at the beginning of the period. Various activities filled the rest of the time. Boys often played games such as basketball or volleyball or they tumbled. Girls usual- ly played games such as kick ball, two deep, basket- ball, or volleyball. They also did some tumbling. A trampoline was used in physical education classes the last semester. Mrs. Hullinger, Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. McCarter, and Mr. McDonald taught iunior high and high school physical education. MUSCLE BUILDERS were used in boys' physical education. Kenny Malott and Gerald Hobbs aid Richard Curtis in turning a flip while Charles Cobbs and Phillip Hale lift barbells. s f 2 Q,,,u,p..

They are Jim Hogan, president, Larry Arrick, vice-president, Nancy Kling, secretary, and Linda Riley, treasurer Graduation highlights year Raising money for the senior trip is a huge task for any senior class. This year's class was no exception. During the first semester they presented the senior class play which was entitled Our Hearts Were Young And Gay. They sold Christmas cards to raise funds. During the last semester they had a fish and shrimp fry, sold booster bars, had a bake sale and a car wash, and sponsored a record hop and a work day. However, all ended happily for them, and they all enjoyed a six-day trip to Washington and New York. During the year a number of seniors received special recognition. Ernest Thode established him- self as one of the leading young English pupils in the state by winning a certificate and a silver medal in state-wide English competition, Larry Arrick was ranked among the top ten basketball players in the northern half of the state. The hearts of every member of the senior class were in their throats during the latter part of April when the senior graduation announcements arrived with the wrong date on them. However, the an- nouncement company rushed them some more an- nouncements, and everything occurred as scheduled. Their baccalaureate was held at the Christian Church on Sunday, May 17. Beverly Lee was val- edictorian of the class, and Ernest Thode was saluta- torian. The class wore citation blue caps and gowns with white tassels. The class flower was the Ameri- can Beauty rose, and the class motto was The door to success is labelled push. Commencement was held on May 22, and the 1959 graduates left the following day on their class trip. dia ..,. xk.. W V , x A ni als Max. Sf' KE , 1 , M 'L W .

This year's iunior class rings had the standard crowned crest, initials on the side, and a curved line separating the numerals in the number 1960. The junior class gained some practical experience last fall when they accompanied the senior class, Mr. Ford., and Mr. Hoffman to Indianapolis to see the state legislature in session. It is hoped that this trip will help the iuniors to better understand the state legislature when they study it in government class as seniors. As usual, the iuniors sold magazines this past year and earned a nice profit from the sale of them. They sold concessions at basketball games and track meets, and during lunch hour they sold ice cream in the lower hall. They also sponsored two skating parties at the ldyl Wyld Skating Rink at Marion. Beth Myers and DeWain Cobbs were king and queen candidates to the Halloween Carnival. .lunicr attendants to the queen of the Bordermen Relays were Beth Myers and Kay Middlesworth. In ad- dition to Kay Middlesworth's being the only iunior cheerleader, she was also elected as cheerleader for the 1959-1960 Oak Hill basketball season. Donna Kay Younce participated in the State English Achieve- ment examination which was held in April, 1959. Each class is allowed two class parties, the iuniors held their first one on December 21. Their last party was the annual Junior and Senior Reception held at Wabash in the Honeywell Memorial on May 8, 1959. Since their theme was the Oriental Gardens, the iuniors and seniors spent the evening in Japan. A dinner was held at 7:00 p.m., amid bright decora- tions, and after the program, dancing was enioyed by all.

Looking over sweaters are president Rex Younce, vice president Mickey McCormack, secretary Sharon Graham, and Treasurer Kaye Reed. Sophomores choose class sweaters One of the major problems of all sophomore classes is the choosing ot class sweaters. This year the sophomore class chose black sweaters with red and black numerals and letters bordered in white. They had a choice of a V neck sweater or a coat style. In addition to choosing their sweaters, they also chose their junior class rings. Their rings will have a star on either side with a sunken crest, and the numerals will be slanted in. Each member of the class chose a set to his own liking. Many members ot the sophomore class received various honors throughout the year. Rex Younce and Joyce Rohrer were elected king and queen of the Halloween Carnival in October. Sharilyrt Horner and Rosaland Etchison were elected sophomore at- tendants to the queen of the Bordermen Relays. Joan Curtis, Carol NlcKeeter, and Sharilyn Horner partici- pated in the W.C.T.U. speech contest held in Amboy on March l8. Dale Haines, Bill Shaw, Cedric Durkes, and Rodney Pence won expense-paid trips to New York and Washington through their 4-H demonstra- tions which won grand champion honors at the State Fair. Bill Hacker, another sophomore, made this same trip last year. These boys also received gold watches, as did Lonny Harts, another sophomore. The sophomore class had two class parties - a Christmas party at Rodney Pence's home and a swimming party at the Marion Y.M.C.A. on May 9.

Talking over some of these are Jeff Feller, president: Jean Arrick, treas- urery Don Rennaker, vice'presiden1y and Judy Cain, secretary. Choosing courses is no easy job Adjusting To high school life is always a big problem for The freshmen. One of The maior Things to be considered is The choosing of the right cur- riculum To follow throughout one's high school ca- reer. This problem for this past year's class was amplified, for they not only had To consider the courses at Converse, but they also had To keep an eye on The courses that will be offered in The future at Oak Hill. In addition to This, the freshmen had to learn to live by many new rules and regulations. However, The first year of high school is not all work and no play. During this year Jean Arrick and Jesse Brookshire were elected as candidates for king and queen of the Halloween Carnival.

The main wing is shown in front, the gymnasium is the tallest part, the music and cafetorium area is the upper right. Beyond the building area the athletic fields are indicated. Oak Hill - School of the future The new 51,500,000 Oak Hill High School at the junction of roads Indiana 18 and Indiana 13 will be completed in August, 1960. The building, which will be able to accommodate 700 iunior and senior high pupils from Jackson Township, Miami County and Richland and Pleasant Townships in Grant County, will occupy 96,000 square feet of floor space. ln the main wing will be 12 general class- rooms and two laboratories, one for general science and one for physics and chemistry. In addition there will be two shops, an agriculture room, a drafting room, an arts and crafts room, a food laboratory, a clothing laboratory, a typing room, a bookkeeping room, an office practice room, a library, and numer- ous offices and storage rooms. The gymnasium will have a capacity of 2,800 Separated from the class- rooms by the gymnasium will be the instrumental and vocal music rooms, the cafetorium, which can easily be converted into a cafeteria, an auditorium, or a multi-purpose room, and the kitchen. The entire building will be electrically heated. The exterior will be of gray brick and the interior will be partly ce- ment blocks and partly glazed tile with blue-green porcelain. An area is being developed for an athletic program including football, baseball, basketball, and track. The architectural firm is Hamilton and Graham of Muncie, the construction is being done by the Wil- helm Construction Company of lndiana-polis, the plumbing by the Burton Plumbing-Heating Com- pany of Rochester, and the electrical and heating company is Sanborn Electrical of Indianapolis.

Harriers win Tri-Count The 1958 cross-country team had a successful sea- son in only its second year of existence at Converse. The harriers lost only one meet during the season. That meet was to Northwestern. In addition to this the T Converse team won the Tri-County Conference meet. Although any number of boys may run, the first five boys who finish on each team are the only ones who score. The positions in which they finish are added, and the team with the lowest score wins the meet.

DeWain was beaten by only one runner this season. CHEERLEADERS Kay Middle-svvorth, Nancy Brookshire, Gloria Young, and Nancy Kling had almost as good a workout at games as the basketball players did. These girls not only led cheers at games, but they also spent many hours practicing. Enthusiasm ran high at games It vvas not an uncommon sight to see the varsity cheerleaders practicing cheers in the school gym. This year Nancy Kling completed three years as varsity cheerleader, Gloria Young completed two, and both Nancy Brookshire and Kay Middles- worth finished their first. Nancy Kling, Nancy Brookshire, and Gloria were seniors, Kay was a junior. The varsity cheerleaders were aided at several B team games by Bonnie Mobley, Carol McCormack, Jean Arrick, and Sheila Davis-fresh- man cheerleaders. BOGSTER CLUB president Donna Younce, vice-president Beth Myers, and secretary Jeannie Warnock consult Mr. Carbaugh, faculty adviser. By proper supervision, Mr. Carbaugh and the girls produced a very fine booster club this year. BOOSTERS were always on hand to cheer the team on to victory. The Booster Club consisted of all pupils in the upper six grades who fulfilled the requirements and wished to participate. and the fans cheered on Every basketball team needs fans to give it moral support. This past year our team had plenty of moral support, for there were plenty of fans composing the T958-i959 Booster Club. There were 81 pupils, all coming from grades seven through twelve, in the Booster Club. Under Mr. Carbaugh, faculty adviser, it became a much more efficient organization than it had been in past years. Many new rules and regulations were established. For instance, Booster Club members were required to attend every game unless they were sick or were excused by the president. If a Booster Club member had more than two unexcused ab- sences, he was expelled from the club. Each Booster Club member had an assigned seat, and he was re- quired to sit in this seat at both home games and away games. Besides these new rules, all of the old rules were restated and enforced. The Booster Club not only yelled at games, but they also had frequent prac- tices to learn new yells and to discuss club policies. ln addition to these special practices, they also had special pep sessions before every basketball game. i - C .41 - THE VARSITY earned a high place in the basketball history of Converse High School bringing home a 21-4 record for a successful season.

At the Indiana University Institute co-editor Beverly Lee won first place in the editing division for over- all performance. Six staff' members attended the Indiana High School Press Association Conference at Franklin College. Everything had to be edited without error, every line had to be in the right place, every picture had to be cropped iust right, every headline had to be gay, and every piece of copy had to be sparkling before it could be used in the Borderlite. Almost a year of hard work was put into the publication of the Borderlite. lt was a welcome relief for the whole staff when the last signature was sent to the printer. 'The editors wish to give special recognition to Jim Hogan, Ernest Thode, and Nancy Kling, who did many things in addition to their regular iobs. PUBLISHING the Porcupine was not an easy task.

Even before school started, planning was being done by editor-in-chief Donna Kay Younce, who spent two hard weeks at the Indiana University Journalism Institute. At the institute she won first prize with her edi- torial, I Am a Teen-Ager. In October five staff members and Mr. Freed, the adviser, attended the state press conference at Franklin College. Four staff members attended Eastern Indiana Journalism Day at Ball State, where Donna Younce and Lloyd Jennings took part in a panel discussion. But besides these trips there were many hours of drudgery. Typing, editing, and writing copy took hours every week. All this work produced a fine paper. The bi-weekly Porcupine is an active member of the Indiana High School Press Association. THE STUDENT COUNCIL was newly organized this past year.

There were still no referees and no uniforms. ln T915 the gym was moved to the Presby- terian Church, now the site of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. The 1915 team was un- defeated.
