Q. Two of the basic composites of any good picture are focus and perspective. The staff and the editors of the 1954 Athenian-50th of its line-have attempted to obtain the focus, the mellowing years which lie ahead must furnish the perspective. If our efforts are suc- cessful, and if the years ahead are kind, the result will be a true picture, a graphic re- cording of the events experienced by the class of 1954 while at Crawfordsville High School. People as a rule do not fully appreciate events which are contemporary with them, or to word it in another manner, We can't see the forest for the trees. Years hence we'll ,- Q ,E yyyc . vw. o .s l l ggfffg ,,. ,ft- perhaps leaf through our yearbooks, and then the days at C.H.S. will be seen as a whole rather than as a disconnected parade of events. Our Alma Nlater will stand revealed-peru mit us the hazard of a prophecy-as being more than inanimate mortar and stone. lt will be warm and alive because of the many personalities which have been shaped within its confines. Teachers and administrators, students in quest of something, students in quest of nothing, students appreciative, and students unappreciative-all these were a part of the Civille picture edition of 1953-54. Page Two e Focal Point Physically, Crawfordsville junior-Senior High School was organized on the tln'ee-three plan, all classes housed in one building. The history of our school, as a public school, goes back to 18739 and the first class of graduates went forth in 1877. Since that time some 5,61S have been granted diplomas from Craw- fordsville High School. As the 1953-54 school year drew to a close, 1,095 students were enrolled at C.H.S. Our school was a comfortable appearing edifice, exhibiting a look of wear with care. Before school, during school, after school, and at countless other times it was the focal point around which many Athenian lives revolvedg and as the day of June :Znd drew near, some 13:2 seniors made ready to sever themselves from its routine. YVe were tempted to say 'Kseyered from its inHuencev but that cannot be. Its influence was to be felt for more years than we knew. Page T11 ree e Usual Harsher critics might hasten to point out the lack of a true ring upon viewing the above caption and then the accompanying photographs. True, we never romped about on the well-manicured greens of C. H. S. However, on the pages which fol- low will be found scenes which were the usual and commonplace. The greater part of our time was spent in classrooms absorbing, to varying degrees, the benefits of English, math, social studies, the sciences, vocational arts, languages, and so forth. Achievements in the classroom were the basic reason for our being in high school, and most of us applied ourselves to our academic tasks. But we would not pretend that all was work with no play. We enjoyed the lighter and brighter side of school life. Athletic events, parties, dances, plays, con- vocations, special programs, club meetings, finals, homework, report cards, confer- ences, study halls-all these were elements of our golden days. Page Four i l Let's get a clearer focus of the senior class and its activities. Do you recall Nlay of 1953 when that year's graduating class left C.H.S. to us?

But before long the novelty of being back in school began to wear a little thin. It was at such times that we welcomed the ap- pearance of various convocation artistsg it was seldom indeed that these visitors to our school failed to please. One of the more entertaining pro- grams featured a gentleman who Worked many ingenious umiraclesi' with liquid oxygen. Remember frying an egg with the magical stuff? And quick-frozen fruits which shattered like light bulbs when dropped to the Hoof? Other mem- orable performances featured a blind Smoking liquid oxygen was guaranteed not to be habit forming. The convocation artist did not recom- mend this stunt for noviges. Judging from the rapt attention of the audience during a special convocation, Mr. John Sloan, dent- onstrator of liquid oxygen, seemed to be well on his way tn presenting a sun-essful hour ot' entertain- ment and enlightenment. minister and another a gentleman who presented an excellent Lincoln Day pro- gram. Other prograins brought the YVa- bash Glee Club and the DePauw Uni- versity Band to our stage, both of these being well received. Then. too, our fel- low students produced some high caliber entertainment in the Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving programs. f'Seens lu the evenings and ou weekends our schoolis social life continued on its merry way. and the appearance of this couple or that couple, at some function or other, always caused much tongue wagging among our classmates. It also made good copy for the gossip columns in our school paper, the Gold and Blue. During the football season, the Friday Nite Dances were a must Various organizations took turns sponsoring these weekly affairs. and we couldnit recall any treasuries even coming close to financial ruin because of them. They were well attended. It seemed that a glance at the world that sur- rounded us during our senior davs might help The universal dream: a guy, a gal, a date, and-a convertible. Shirley Deckard and Bill Mount prepared to join the gay crowd at the Christmas Dance. of our times to sharpen the focus. The big issue in the city of Crawfordsville centered around the Lake P1'o- jectf' The pro-lake faction favored the construc- tion of au artificial body of water which would serve as a medium of entertainment and recrea- tion. The supporters of this point of view were quite dedicated to the task of procuring such recreational facilities for the city. However, the Styles in footwear as modeled by Libby llalpin and . . . need we say?? For those with poor memories-Jack Wyatt. opposition forces were also a hard-working group. These two schools of thought bombarded one another daily in print in the Crawfordsville journal and Review. As the Athenian went to press, the autism and Hprosi' were stalematedg the issue of to have or not to have a lakev was unresolved. The members of our class con- ducted a poll on this and various other issues. the results to be found elsewhere within these pages.

Sponsored annually by the Sunshine Society, this affair attracted our classmates in large numbers. For many of us, December 19th was a memorable occasion. and we were eager to put our best feet forward. In an atmosphere wholly in keeping with the holiday spirit, our classmates arrived in formal attire to dance to some unforgettable music by an imported'i orchestra. The decorations, committee certainly performed adequately for this occasiong there were many uohis and ah,s to be heard escaping from newly arrix'ed couples. Especially note- worthy was the snowman which disguised the entrance to the dance floor and the artistic snowflake which dominated the interior decor. just prior to intermission time, we were all entertained hy the colorful arrival of jolly old Saint Nick portrayed hy Nlr.

Along with the dauces and parties and the appearance of Christmas decorations throughout the city. we reached the point where a recess was declared from the toils of the classroom.

There were many other little scenes which would he useful in the future in helping us recall our days at Crawfordsville High School. To us. one of the zaniest seasons was always 'Hag NVQ-ek. During this season the mem- hers of the senior class were privileged to in- dulge themselves in all manner of pranks and mischief. The school routine was upset not a little ln' the appearance of the members of the gentler sex in the customary attire of the males. ln their turn, the males donned the garments generally reserved for the eoeds. lVho could ever forget those days of lighted lanterns, alarm clocks, fthe alarm set to ring at the crucial point of a teacherls lecturej gals pulling contentedly on tireless corneohs, and the same gals shocking one and all with their refusal to indulge in make up?

Periodi- cally, some Athenian or Atheniette was hound to add that last strain to an already over- strained locker. Pity the unfortunate one whose locker contents cascaded onto the floor during that time when classes were in the process of changing. Books, umlmrellas, over- shoes, stale sandwiches, and other possessions were scattered to the winds by a furtire and accidental kick delivered ln' some passing student.

Page Sixteen Sandwiched in between these lighter moments were those hours spent in the various learning areas. It would have been rather futile to attempt to picture all these specific areas. Instead. we sup- plied only the minimum stimuli, trusting that these would suttice in bringing back classroom memories to us as individuals. As students at Crawfordsville High School, we were privileged to enroll in a curriculum of our choosing, subject to. of course, competent guidance from our advisers and parents. Open to us were the fields of College Preparatory, Busif ness Education. Art. General, Vocational Homemaking. and Vocational Agricul- ture. XVe were also able to experiment in publication work. dramatics, machine shops, athletics, music. and many others. A popular course was Drivers, Training. which helped produce more competent vehicle operators at a time when such operators were needed direfully. T 920399 How we loved thee? Yes, when we played, we played hard, when we worked, we worked hard also. We absorbed academic subject matter, we tried our hand at various trade and occupational situations, we learned to get along with others, and we attempted to measure our capabilities and find a use- ful channel for them. We acquired the feeling of responsibility, a respect for others, an un- derstanding of democracy and our place in it, and finally-but definitely not the least-a sense of values which would stand us in good stead in the future. VVe met many people during our high school days. Some were good, some not so good, all had their effects on us. We would remember good teachers and mediocre teachers. We would recall good friends and mediocre friends. No matter what course our lives took in the post graduate days, they were unmistakably shaped and molded by the experiences which came to us during our high school days. Undoubtedly, good or bad luck, success or oblivion were destined to our individual classmates. Years hence it would be a great source of amusement to peruse these and the other pages of this annual, saying to ourselves, I remember him when . . .D This was our senior hnmeroom, and it also served as a study hall. Here one could observe a cross section qf our student body. Some studied, some played, some slept, some chewed, etc. It was also fertile ground for comics, mushy magazines, Mickey Spillanes: and it was here that many notes first saw the light of day.

Focusing on these persons, we hope, will prove to be an invaluable aid to those of us who will attempt to picture their high school days in the years following the graduation ex- QYCISCS. Years hence, our classmates will consult the pages in this section more than those of any of the other sections. Here they will find the classmates of mellowed mem- ories, the faces which have not yet been ravaged by the relentless buffetings of old Father Time. For inevitably, that old gentleman will have wrought his changes in all of us. Success and fortune, the latter both good and bad, will have been the lot of our fellow students. Within these pages, too, will be found other familiar faces. Pictures of our former teachers will help release the memories dammed up by the passage of years.

Perhaps we shall even recall some particularly critical or trying ex- perience which caused us many moments of concern.

The task of formulating and guiding the educational policies for the city schools of Crawfordsville fell to Mr. Lee L. Eve, Superintendent of Schools. Because Mr. Eve's headquarters were in our school building, his warm and friendly personality became familiar to us as we passed to and from our classes. Mr. Eve seemed to us an able administrator and a man who performed his tasks in an LEE L. EVE Mr. Louis C. Darst was the principal of the senior l high school. He was an energetic and tireless gen- tleman, and the daily prob- lems he encountered were quite numerous. In addi- tion to possessing these characteristics, Mr. Darst was also an excellent or- ganizer and coordinator. But perhaps his strongest forte was his ability to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of us students. He was always available for advice and counsel, especially during those days when we elected sub- jects for future semesters. LoU1s C. DARST To Mr. H. T. McCullough was entrusted the guidance of junior high school students and their activities. As junior high school students we had looked upon Mr. Mc- Cullough as more than just a principalg he was one to whom we could turn whenever the process of becoming a part of the high school picture became perplexing. We always found him a genial and an affable gentleman, willing and able to aid in solving our difficulties. Page Twenty-two efficient and inconspicuous manner. H. T.

Page F orty-seven ctivities Although many of our memories of days at Crawfordsville High School were woven around the many fellow students and faculty members with whom we came in contact, many other remembrances would be stimulated by a sharp focus on the activities in which we engaged. Learning during our school days was not confined to the classroom alone. We experienced many valuable situations beyond the walls of our classrooms. Countless happy moments came to us as we participated in various musical activ- ities, departmental clubs, athletics, service and honor organizations, and many others too numerous to mention. In the year 1954 we were able to broaden our learning processes by engaging in many of the various activities which drew our attention. Our classmates who felt that they had a Hare for writing were able to test their talents on one of the school's publications. Those who were endowed with athletic skills were able to participate in athletic contests against rival athletes from other schools. I , Page Forty-eight ,-mu e e A splendid music organization gave many of us invaluable contacts with all types of music. Then too there were experiences available for those with pleasing voices, for those with artistic and scientihc bents, as well as for those who desired to be of serv- ice to our school as movie operators, library aides, patrol boys, and some others which will be highlighted on the following pages.

The club members were kept busy during the year furnishing decorations for school dances, providing scenery for the Christmas program, and painting pictures to adorn the school cafeteria. In 1954, many students were entered i11 the Scholastic Art Exhibi- tion for high school art, and many awards were won. The Paletteirs was the only organization in the school that did not have regular otlicers. The group was sponsored by the art teacher, Bliss Nlartin, l Up-n-Atom Up-n-Atom Club was organized to further the scientific interests of our classmates. lt was affiliated with the Science Clubs of America, a national organization.

Page Sixty-.sevcri Athletics And with this section we are close to the end of our attempt to focus on Crawfordsville High School during the reign of the class of l954. We did not leave this side of our school life until last because it was the least important. It might have been that we saved the best for this portion of our book. The word athletics covered a lot of ground-the Athenian sportsmen engaged in seven forms of athletics: football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, ten- nis, track, and golf. Our athletes more than held their own against all comets. The year 1954 marked the beginning of what we hoped would be a resurgence by our school in the game of football. This rebuilding was guided by Mr. Robert Hoke, who assumed the duties of head football coach. In spite of a shaky start, his athletes finally managed to hit their stride. A rebuilding job was also begun in basketball, and our class witnessed the inauguration of Mr. Gerald DeWitt as head basketball mentor. He brought with him a type of basketball 1 l , 7 Page Sixty-eight which we all enjoyed, and it seemed rational to us to expect that Crawfordsville would enjoy better things in the years ahead. While these two were our major sports, we could also point with pride to the achieve- ments of our athletes in other sports. Our wrestlers, for instance, were a highly successful group, producing a state wrestling champ, Ed Bayless in the l38 lb. class. We were also justly proud of the remarkable record compiled by our golf team. As our yearbook went to press, these linkesmen had woven an unbroken string of 35 matches without defeat. Page Sixty-nine Varsity Football Boa HOKE H earl Football C ouch Our football team finished the 1954 season with four wins and four setbacks. The early part of the season was marked by carelessly played football, but the team settled down and finished the schedule with four well- played games. Of more importance than wins and defeats was the fact that the team learned that spirit and determination would result in victory. The underclassmen who played that year Were expected to bring increasing success in future football seasons. Robert Hoke was appointed head football coach in late summer to fill the vacancy left by Richard Cuyer's departure to another school.

H. S. Our team finished the season with an overall record of sixteen victories and seven losses. During the regular seasonis play, the Cold and Blue won twelve and lost six, and, like the majority of teams, the Athenians had their ups and downs. The Champaign and Noblesville games were two of the occasions when the team seemed to do everything well. At other times, as in the Franklin and Ladoga encounters, the Atheni- ans appeared to bog down. The Shortridge, Garfield. and Washington ballgames were close all the way, and victory or defeat came in the final minutes of play. Determination and the enthusiasm of youth were the de- ciding factors in many of our victories. The team included only one senior, the re- mainder of the team were relatively inexperi- enced players who would profit much. Dur- ing the early part of the season three promis- ing guards were sidelined at the same time. This and the inexperience of all the boys resulted in several loosely played contests. Bill Balch, Harry McCloud, and Paul Har- den shared the center position, Phil Warren, John Elmore, and Rex Hybarger played for- ward. Ron Boyer, Louis Lashley, and Albert Burdett were guards. Several other young- StC1'S played occasionally and gained valuable experience. The Athenians proved to be very successful hosts at the Holiday Tournament, which was held on New Year's Day. Crawfordsville fought its Way into the evening finals against Lebanon by soundly defeating West Lafay- ette. In that evening tilt, the Cold and Blue seized the lead and held it throughout the game, winning its second Holiday Tournament in two years. C. H. S. entered the sectional competition with hopes that the sectional jinx would be broken. ln their first game the Athenians started slowly but finished strong to cop an easy victory over a good New Market team. Then the loss to Ladoga during the regular season was avenged with an impressive ten- point victory. The climax of the season came in the final minutes of sectional play. Our boys played excellent basketball throughout the game, but the New Boss boys compiled a phenomenal shooting percentage. Time and again the Bluejays brought the ball down the court and electrified the crowd with their ability to find the range from any spot on the floor.

Boh Poore, Larry Dickerson, Fred Knox, and Max E. Servies had gained ex- perience through play in previous years, while Corwin Pitcock, John Johnson, and Cen were among the younger players contending for a position on the team. For many years our tennis teams had met some of Indiaua's toughest competition. and the year 195-1 was no exception. Coach jerry DeNVitt led his boys throurfh a schedule which in- , aw clrrded matches with Frankfort. Anderson. Shortridge. and Terre Harrte Cerstrneyer. Track The track tearu under the tutelage of Coach john McCormick opened its schedule with three successive victories.

The victory trail included wins from the 1951 season and was marred only by a tie with Shortridge in the final match of the 1953 season. R. B. Swanson, Ron Royer, Ion Summer, and lack Watson had had previous experience on the team, and these golfers formed the nucleus of the varsity team.

Page Eiglity-three In Appreciation As we write this final page of our 1954 Athenian, we cannot help but breathe a sigh of relief. The production of this book has been a long, time-consuming project, one which has occupied us continually since our appointment to the post of co-editors back in the final days of our junior year. Despite the fact that it has been a diflicult task, we are glad that we were chosen to co-o1'dinate the literary talents of our fellow staff members. We would like to thank these members of our staff for their industriousness, loyalty, and Hashes of ingenuity. We shall be able to recognize these people by listing their names below, but there are others who helped tremendously, and they must of necessity remain unknown. To these people we offer our sincere thanks. Finally, we should like to express our appreciation to the agents who have helped in the production of the Athenian: R. R. Donnelly 61 Sons, the Indianapolis Engraving Company, the Howell-Goodwin Printing Company, and the Photo Art Commercial Studios.
