Now as seniors, we stand at the end of the bridge Looking back, and re-living the events of the year. The foundation of the bridge was constructed long before we trod upon it. Our way was chartered by our parents, and we were constantly guided and urged forward by our teachers. They gave us their hands to aid us On our faltering trip forward. Those who follow us will perhaps Be guided by the footsteps we are leaving. We hope we have in some small way Made this bridge a little stronger and the crossing of it a little easier for those behind us. Our Will And real journey is just beginning, but the bridge of knowledge we have crossed let us walk into the future with pride, with joy, with assurance. Summer bridges the gap between the close of one school year and The beginning of another. It starts with the biggest social affair of the year, the junior prom, and Continues through long, lazy days of fishing and swimming and tennis. As well as long, not so lazy Days of summer jobs. Too soon the days, weeks, and months have rushed by. Swim suits and shorts are Replaced by skirts and sweaters, and light reading gives way to ponderous school texts. Another school year Is on its way. JOHN MALOWE AND HIS FEATURl| fc IN THE CRYSTAL miL BOOM Seniors Enjoy. . . WITH AID FROM JON- NY MARLOWE and his orchestra, dancers move gracefully across the floor. DECORATIVE SIGN WELCOMES SEN¬ IORS to prom given by juniors May 20, 1960. The Crystal Ball was enjoyed by everyone who attended. FASCINATED BY FLOWER COVERED fountain, Virgine Redar and Dale Hinkle make a wish. . . . Crystal Ball EARLY DEPARTERS RICH GALLAS AND MARI¬ LYN SPOHN leave for Chicago between door¬ men Robert Rayfield and Barry Ahlborn. Most people attending prom go on to a supper club for food and more fun. ADMIRING DECORA¬ TIONS are faculty mem¬ bers Mr. Stokes, Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones, with Mr. Bi- bich in the background. WARM CONGRATULA¬ TIONS and a bouquet of flowers are presented to Queen Mary Lou Hinton by class president Sig Toth. Group of promsters join in informal chatter during a break in dance. DYER CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL n Grand March leads up to climactic crowning of King and Queen. Honoring class sponsor Mrs. Wease, Al Yelich and Sig Toth present her with beauti¬ ful flowers. Queen candidates Sue Brace, Jan Czeck, Donna Brusch, Pat Herman, and Mary Lou Hinton. - 9 - . . . Brings Exciting Moments Queen Mary Lou Hinton. King Bill Parsons. Spring Leads. . . SPIRITS FLAG AS THE SCHOOL YEARS ENDS, and boys assign¬ ed yard duty spend more time loafing than digging. Larry Newlin and Junior Ruiz are probably dreaming of the days ahead when school work, both in and out of the building, can be forgotten. HOW MANY SENIORS CAN ONE CAR HOLD? Bob Templeton, proud owner of this ’37 Buick, says “The more the merrier ”. Many seniors drive treasured jalopies, the older the bet¬ ter, and learn a great deal about what makes a car run. . . . Into Summer GOATS ARE A CURIOSITY on farms these days, but the cam¬ era caught senior Tom Herman as he was making friends with a flock on the Frank Huppenthal farm. MILKING BY HAND IS ALMOST A LOST ART, but Mickey Keilman proves that at least some of the younger gen¬ eration possess this ancient skill. He is pictured here with one of the Hol- steins of the Homestead Acres herd. Camera Catches Students . . . PAUSING FOR REFRESHMENTS after a day of taking pictures for the yearbook, staff mem¬ bers Pat Weeks, Glorianne Cur¬ tis, and Marsha Yates give their order to Alice Chappellie, waitress at a nearby restaurant. CHANGING TIRES IS A DIFFICULT ART which Mitchell Rhoads has mastered af¬ ter long weeks of experience. Mitch worked at a local service station and learned a great deal about automobiles there. Many boys find similar summer employment. - 12 - DYER ' S SUCCESS IN GOLF COM¬ PETITION is in part due to the popularity of the sport with high school boys. Two nearby golf courses offer opportunity, not only for play but also for work as greensmower or clubhouse boy. In this picture Steve Arndt waits patiently for his turn while Jerry Curtis tees off on the Lake Hills Course. . . . At Work WORKING AS WAIT¬ RESSES, many high school girls earn money during the summer to help with school expenses in the winter. Pictured here is Eileen Thiery as she serves customers in a neighbor¬ hood restaurant. - 13 - Vacationers Find Fun. . HOT DAYS WERE MADE FOR LOAFING, and many high school students enjoy loafing at Scher- wood Swim Club. Holly Jacobsma (lying down), Eleanor Hero, Carol Salus, Mary Jane Maye, Marsha Gard, and Pam Dicks (standing) may be talking about days to come. SOME PEOPLE WILL TRY ANYTHING ONCE. In a mad moment on a carefree summer day, Arlene Hamot, Joe Wach- ter, and Jerry Gaber take a ride on a merry-go-round at nearby Kiddieland. - 14 - . Wherever They Go GIVING SANDY HILBRICH A PUSH INTO ORBIT, Evie Redar idles away a long afternoon at the home of Sandi Greenwell (standing). Many friendships are cemented and strengthened dur¬ ing the summer holidays. TRYING FOR A NEW WORLD SPEEDBOAT RECORD, our usu¬ ally dignified adviser, Mrs. Doro- they Ainsley, and her reliable colleague, Mrs. Jean Wease, hold determinedly to the course at nearby Kiddieland. Admiring members of the Echo staff may be seen in the background. - 15 - Summer Finds Teachers . . . RELAXING UNDER A TOWER¬ ING OAK at his home, Mr. Yates takes an opportunity to spend a few happy moments with Sandy, the youngest of his three daugh¬ ters. Mr. Yates excels in teaching government as well as in being a devoted father. PAINTING CABINETS BEING DIFFICULT and exacting work, it seems unusual to find Mrs. Cris- co, English teacher, per¬ forming this task in the kitchen of her apartment. Relaxing At Home NOT ONLY IS MRS. J. WEASE A DEMON in the classroom, but she is also an intrepid rider on anything from a Shetland pony to a bucking broncho. She learn¬ ed to ride on the farm near St. John where she grew up into the fine teacher she now is. DEMONSTRATING THAT SUM¬ MER VACATION IS NOT ALL ENJOYMENT, Mr. Protsman mows his lawn in front of his home in Schererville. Earlier in the summer however, he took a trip through southwestern United States, gathering specimens for his rock collection. - 17 - On our journey across the bridge, our scope is broadened, and our view widened. This is formal education, and we are guided by our teachers. Formal education is an integral part of our journey. We take each step, eager to grow in knowledge. The way is sometimes difficult, sometimes bewildering. But we walk onward, learning, experiencing, and always going forward. When we have crossed the bridge, the lessons we have learned will determine our success in the future. Administrators AS DEAN OF BOYS, GLEN EBERLY divides his day be¬ tween counseling well over three hundred boys, and teaching world his¬ tory. He also sponsors the senior class and the Letter- men s Club. This year, Purdue honored him with DOROTHY AINSLEY TEACH¬ ES COLLEGE preparatory English, sponsors the Echo as well as the National Hon¬ or Society, and as dean of girls, spends many hours ad¬ vising and counseling the high school girls. a fellowship in guidance, and he spent the second semester at the university, working toward his Mast- ter ' s degree. LELA HOWELL, SECRETARY-RECEP¬ TIONIST, has a variety of duties ranging from assigning lockers to running the P. A. system. She has a cheerful smile and a friendly word for everyone. Counselors Ministering To Mind And Muscle BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS! says Kathy Arbuckle, librarian. “We need more books of all kinds- fiction, reference books, and informative books on all sub¬ jects. In addition to supervising the library, Miss Arbuckle sponsor the cheer leaders and the Pep Club. MAKING USE OF THE LIBRARY during a study period are (seated) Eve Molson, Mary Zylo, Gerry Adler, and (standing) Reed Matthews, Buddy Darnell. BRUISES, BREAKS, AND BANDAGES- They are all part of the day s work for Cecile LeVin, school nurse. Under her sponsorship, the Med¬ ical Professions Club has become an active organization and some of its members are re¬ ceiving valuable training as cadet nurses. - 22 - From Art To Automobiles CREATIVE ART IS EMPHASIZED in classes taught by Lenora Smith, and beautiful work is done by imaginative students. Outstanding Christmas decorations were made for the school by the Art Club. POSTERS FOR MANY SCHOOL AFFAIRS are made by the art classes. Here Tony Ad¬ ler and Jo LaBuda finish posters for the Homecoming dance. TOM STOKES ' DRIVING CLASSES are taught to be alert, courteous, and know¬ ledgeable of the wdys of a good driver. Mr. Stokes also teaches phys. ed., and heads the football coaching staff. - 23 - German Joins . . . LATIN IRREGULAR VERBS may be dear to the heart of Lou laconetti, but his fame rests on his achievement in bringing closed television to the high school. Installation of the system was under his supervision, and as program director, he made it pos¬ sible for all teachers to enrich and broad¬ en their courses. DISPLAYING A MINIATURE CHARIOT, Patti Albright talks to Marsha Niemeyer and Tom Brush about tradi¬ tions and customs of ancient Rome. WIEVIEL UHR 1ST ES? Shirley Burbage ex¬ plains to Don Oft and Jerry Keegan how to tell time in German. Starting with the very first lesson, German students learned to use small phrases, and most any day, fragments of conversation can be heard as one goes down the hall. - 24 - . . .Language Department DURING HER YEARS AT DYER CENTRAL, Ruth Pierce has taught Latin, English, and Spanish. She enjoys them all, but her favor- its class is the hour she works with the Comet staff, getting out the school newspaper. • JUII0 I JOJQUM i l«wi ! •( IN USE FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR, the language laboratory proved an invaluable aid to German and Spanish students. By listening to recordings made by professionals, students in¬ crease their ability to understand and to speak. In this picture, intent Spanish scholars are Bob Grove, Neil Keintz, and Patti Osborne. NEW TO THE FACULTY THIS YEAR, John Kavaliunas gained immediate pop¬ ularity as teacher of conversational Ger¬ man. A graduate of the University of Vil- nius, Lithuania, he is also qualified to teach Russian and mathematics. { Lm English Deportment Teaches. . . TEACHING JUN¬ IOR AND SENIOR ENGLISH keeps Jan¬ et Crisco busy all days and many nights, but she finds time to sponsor Fu¬ ture Teachers of America, and to su¬ pervise the cadet teachers. SUPERVISING SCHOOL BUSES, di¬ recting audio visual education, and teach¬ ing sophomore Eng¬ lish fill Roscoe Protsman’s days but leave him time for a little philosophizing now and then. GIVING FRESHMEN A STRONG FOUN¬ DATION in English is Marilee Thanholdt ' s aim. As sponsor of the freshman class, she starts students in the right direction for their trip through the four years of high school. . . . Reading, Writing, And Speaking COMING TO DYER FROM CROWN POINT, Ed Robert¬ son has established himself as a solid teacher of freshman English. He believes emphasis should be put on reading and writing, and his stu¬ dents find their year with him to be a pro¬ fitable one. He has also earned the re¬ spect and loyalty of the school for the fine job he has done as head basketball coach. LOOKING HAPPIER THAN HE FEELS, Doyne Cole addresses the members of his speech class. TECHNIQUES OF PUBLIC SPEAKING are taught by Barbara Foss. In addition, she teaches junior English and sponsors the Sen¬ ior Drama Club. History And Mechanics Of Our Nation UNITED STATES HISTORY is not only past history, but also present and future, according to Robert Mygrants (above). His sociology class is equally forward looking, and his stu¬ dents keep well informed on world events. MAPS AND CHARTS are used by Mr. Yates in teaching the democratic process of govern¬ ment. In this picture, Mike Yo- kubaitis explains to the class how the voters select their re¬ presentatives. Music In The Air FROM 8 TO 60 BAND MEMBERS in three years is the record of Douglas Jordan, band director. In addition to the marching band, concert band, pep band, and dance band, Mr. Jordan sponsors the majorettes and the Sportsman ' s Club. PEP BAND BLASTS OFF during before-game pep session. MARCHING BAND in straight line formation at Home¬ coming rally. Homemaking Courses Popular COOKING CAN BE FUN! Anne Pluchinski teaches food and clothing to eighth and ninth grade girls. Although this was her first year of teaching, she was as efficient in the classroom as she was pleasant outside of it. Carol Hilbrich (foreground), Jolynn Miklik, Rochelle Meyers, Caroline Grummer, Bonnie ADVANCED HOME EC is taught by Charlene Reusze, who also sponsors the Home Econom¬ ics Club. Home nursing, child care, interior decorating, and family relations are included in the course of study. Nietzel, and Virginia Schutz are making cot¬ ton dresses. - 30 - SETTING-UP EXER¬ CISES may not be the most popular part of the phys. ed. program, but they benefit both large and small. Physical Fitness Emphasized IN HER FIRST YEAR OF TEACHING, Audrey Grau proved herself an able phys. ed. teacher, and an enthusiastic sponsor of the Girl s Ath¬ letic Association. TEACHING PHYS. ED. AND HEALTH classes, along with coaching the gymnastic, cross country, and track teams, keeps Paul Hayes pretty busy. Yet, he always has time to play in a faculty basketball team, teach an after school class in tumbling, or take part in a pep club skit. Commerce Students Succeed. . . TIMED TESTS IN SHORT¬ HAND measure the pro¬ gress of the students. In this picture, Jo Sizemore and Brenda Phillips are trying to beat the clock. IN HER TWO YEARS AT DY¬ ER, Jan Rogers has established herself as an excellent teach¬ er of shorthand and typing. Under her spon¬ sorship, the Sun¬ shine Society had a very suc¬ cessful year. IN FIRST YEAR TYPING CLASS, Bruce Swinforcf learns the cor¬ rect method of erasing an er¬ ror. DURING HER YEARS AT DYER, Beulah Husted has taught all the subjects in the commercial curricu¬ lum. This year her classes studied gen¬ eral business and the operation of office machines. In the picture at the right, Beulah Evans and Kathy Segert practice doing sums on the adding ma¬ chines. LONG A FAVORITE with the students, Buren Hooper teach¬ es bookkeeping, typ¬ ing, and business law. He also does a fine job placing graduates of the commercial course in the business world. Math and Science Are. . . GENIAL AND ENTHUSIASTIC LON LAWSON makes even geometry an interesting subject. In the picture below, some of his students are discovering the use of the adjustable triangle. BILL PHILLIPS IS NEVER HAPPIER than when lead¬ ing his algebra classes through complicated story problems. . . . As Old As Civilizotion BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY classes may be difficult, but with Ernest Ver- eb as teacher, they are not dull. Be¬ tween bugs and bacteria, Mr. Ver- eb finds time to sponsor the junior class. WHEN NOT BUSY with his classes in physics and algebra, Kermit Kerns directs the ath¬ letic program and sponsors the sophomore class. AN EARLY EXPERIMENT in chemistry is the distilling of water. From left to right, Jackie Shofroth, John Kobeske, Dexter Graves and Betty Pru¬ itt are studying the process of distillation. Shop. . . LENNIE KUFFEL op¬ erates the milling machine in metal shop. Safety glasses, as well as other pro¬ tective devices, are used by all students. LESLIE MILBY teaches metal shop, coaches wrestling, and is one of the sponsors of the Industrial Arts Club. HARVEY UNDER¬ WOOD divides his time between junior high school where he teaches elemen¬ tary science and high school where he teaches physical science. . . . Classes Always Crowded LESTER EG- GERS (LEFT) teaches wood shop as well as metal shop, and is one of the leaders of the Industrial Arts club. Beau¬ tiful work is done by the students in his classes, and an impressive dis¬ play is exhi¬ bited at the end of the year. MECHANICAL DRAWING is the specialty of John Linley (right), and his advanced stu¬ dents do work equal to that of college freshmen. Vocation¬ al Guidance is an¬ other field that in¬ terests Mr. Linley. BUILDING QUALITY FURNITURE is em¬ phasized in wood shop. In the picture above, Skip Sitow- ski is using the pow¬ er plane in a be¬ ginning class in ma¬ chine woodworking. V ' —r W WMs’ W V _ Kni II i bDF ' ■ , s J jBh J r i VL a w 9H Informal education is often misjudged as an unimportant part of our crossing. It is through activities outside the classroom that we gain poise and assurance for our social contacts at the far end of the bridge. We have learned to work and to play with others, to be contributing members of a group, and to develop whatever talents we may have. New vistas are opened to us, and our activities, more than any other phase of our lives, remain vivid in our minds as we approach the untrodden paths of the future. Floats and . . .

High school sports provide still another bridge from the simple world of the child to the complex world of the adult. Training of the body accompanies training of the mind; team spirit replaces individual ambition; and sportsmanship becomes a way of life.

Jim Austgen kicked a field goal which proved to be the decisive margin. Dyer received its only defeat at the hands of Griffith, 19-13. The Indians bounced back against Crete-Monet, trouncing them 34- 7. Against a strong East Gary team, Dyer fought to a 20-7 victory. The Indians ended a very successful season by wallopping Lowell 40-2. Conditioning . . . INDIANS ' OFFENSIVE POWER improved tremendously this year, averaging more than 19 points per game. Members of the back field, from left to right, are Harry Kilander, Jim Austgen, John Render, Al Wil- cher, Ray Stout, and Butch Hig¬ gins. PRACTICING HARD ON THE BLOCKING SLED are members of the offensive line. This equipment great¬ ly increases blocking effi¬ ciency, helping the back field to gain yardage. From left to right are Jim Jones, Al Yelich, Rich Bry¬ ant, Tom Schaefer, Dan Butler, Ray Freeman, and Larry Jones. DEFENSIVE LINE showed great determination and held the opponents to fewer than seven points a game. From left to right are Bob Templeton, Norb Peipho, Steve Adams, Bruce Fane, Pat Cox, John Kleine, and Mike Nowicki. . . . Pays Off JIM AUSTGEN (10), Dyer halfback, circles right end for a substantial gain against the tough Gary Wirt team. Ozzie Kilander (12) prepares to throw a key block. Jim was leading scorer for the Indians this season with a total of 61 points. DYER S DEFENSE, which was the vital factor in many of our victories this year, stops a hard charging Wirt back. Making the stop are Jim Jones (38) and Al Yelich (37), with John Render (11), Jim Austgen (10), and Ray Stout (20) moving in to assist. JIM JONES (38), Dyer end, catches an¬ other pass enroute to the Indians 9-7 homecoming victory over Gary Wirt. Jim Austgen kicked a field goal and John Render ran a touchdown to account for the Dyer scoring. Athletes Capture Honors Starring defensively this year was husky senior tackle Al Yelich. Besides being selected to All- Conference first team in his junior and senior years, he was chosen for the All-State second team in his junior year. In his senior year he made the All-State first team. Conference passing-ace John Render, senior tailback, was chosen for the All-Conference football first team. Johnny passed for 13 touchdowns during the season, and ran for 6, accounting or 36 points. He was co-captain of the Indians in his junior and senior years. Senior fullback, Oz- zie Kilander, by merit of his fine run¬ ning and punting, was selected to the All-Conference foot¬ ball first team. Oz- zie was the team ' s second leading scor¬ er with 52 points to his credit. He has played football for three years. In addition to his offensive abilities, he also excelled in defense. Jim Jones, senior pass-catching mar¬ vel of the Indians, because of his all-around play¬ ing ability was named to the All-Conference second team. He caught numerous passes in every game and was a constant thorn in the opponent ' s side.

Coaches John Tennant, Ed Robertson, Joe Gorsich FINISHING WITH A 3 WIN-1 LOSS-1TIE SEA¬ SON, the reserve football team predicted Dyer will continue its winning ways. The young In¬ dians opened the season by winning their first three games before bowing to a strong Lowell team 7-6. They ended the season with a 7-7 tie against Noll Central. The team which show¬ ed great fight and potential ability, was cap¬ ably coached by John Tennant, Ed Robertson, and Joe Gorsich. - 63 - Indians Complete Fine Season BACK ROW: Manager Terry Hlebasko, Phil Ruban, Jim Jones, Al Yelich, Butch Higgins, Steve Adams, Doyne Cole, Manager Russ Hankins; BOTTOM ROW: Coach Robertson, Butch Baker, Steve Arndt, Johnny Render, Ozzie Kilander, Jim Campbell, Dick Mitchell. It was Dyer Central s gain and Crown Point ' s loss when likeable Ed Robertson (left) became head basketball coach. The Indians, under the proficient leadership of Coach Ro¬ bertson, made an excellent record of 15 wins and 7 losses. This is the best record in recent years at Dyer Central. With a team made up chiefly of seniors, the Indians carried a 10 game winning streak into the sectionals. But the Indians, whose shooting went stone-cold, were upended by the Hammond Tech Tigers by a 64-40 score. Dyer Trims Lowell Guard Jim Campbell (right) hits on a long jumper.

KNEELING: Phil Govert, Jim Austgen, Craig Parlor, Joe Britton, Tom Brusch, Newell Easley. Following the winning example of the varsity basketball team, the junior varsity fin¬ ished its season with 9 wins and 9 losses. Un¬ der the capable direction of second-year coach Jerry Niemeyer (left), the boys gained valuable experience and knowledge for next year. The team not only possesses height and speed, but also has the advantage of playing together for the last two years. They are ex¬ pected to continue the wining era at Dyer Central.

DLE ROW: Wayne Baker, Jim Vargo, Rich Devine, UNDER NEW COACH PAUL HAYES, the In¬ dians closed out a ' winning season by finish¬ ing second out of nine teams in the Calumet Conference cross-country race. The young team, with only three seniors running, finished with a 5 win-4 loss record against the area’s fastest teams. The harriers also placed 20th out of 33 teams in the Hobart Invitational meet which included most of the state’s best. At right are the team ' s top runners, Dean Dunning and Steve Arndt, with coach Paul Hayes, Both boys were all-conference. After many successful seasons, Coach Glen Eberly has stepped down from his head coach position to attend Purdue University on a fellowship grant. His able successor will be Mr. Robert Mygrants (right) who returns to the coaching field after a four-year absence. He will be capably assisted by Coach Lon Lawson (left). With only three lettermen lost and twelve returning, the Indians undoubtedly will avenge last year ' s winless season. Lettermen Bolster. . .

GAINING VALUABLE EXPERIENCE and skill, the young members of the wrestling squad finished fifth in the conference after a suc¬ cessful 5 win and 5 lost season against very tough opposition. Highlights of the season were wins over Valparaiso, Gary Wirt, and Hammond Morton. Top wrestler for the sea¬ son was Louis Berg, who did an exceptional job in the heavy-weight class against heavier opponents. Head Coach Les Milby is very op¬ timistic about the team ' s prospects for next year. - 72 - New Team Enters Competition TOP ROW: Coach Paul Hayes, Al Wilcher, Bob BOTTOM ROW: Ron Carter, Jack Tewell, Paul Svast, Ray Stout, Dan Butler, Dean Dunning.

Coach Louis laconetti awaits the season eagerly but cautious¬ ly, having lost his first three men through grad¬ uation last year. Returning lettermen Marv Han¬ sen and Jan Full, along with newcomer Newell Easley, will determine how successful the com¬ ing season will be. The young team faces the task of playing the best teams in the state and of continuing the school ' s perfect record of three seasons of conference play.

ANTICIPATING ANOTHER WINNING SEA¬ SON are the optimistic coaches of the track team, John Tennant and Paul Hayes. Their boys did very well last year, beating eight teams and losing to only two. Out of seven meets the Indians finished 1st five times. There are many returning lettermen to bolster the squad including Al Wilcher, the team’s lead¬ ing scorer last year, Doyne Cole, Ray Stout, Junior Ruiz, and Bob Kelsey. The track team, after only a few seasons of varsity competi¬ tion, has gained the reputation of being one of the toughest teams in the area. Coaches John Tennant and Paul Hayes. . . . on Experience HURDLING REQUIRES perfect form as shown here by Al Wil- cher. Al was the team ' s point leader as a junior last year.

RUNNING HAND-OFF used by the relay team is shown here by Bob Kelsey and Doyne Cole, the fastest quarter- milers on the team. So many faces are to be seen! So many names are to be remembered! Through this section, the pictorial album, we shall record the names and faces of those we encountered as we crossed the bridge into life. This is the section which will call to mind those whose lives we briefly shared, those whose footsteps paralleled ours. These are the companions of our school days.

Because of them we leave behind us a stronger, firmer bridge for those who follow.

Still others are working in laboratories building a sound foundation for a future in steel research. Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent opportunity to further his education.

She has given sound advice and outstand¬ ing leadership to her staffs. It is with regret that we bid her farewell. The Echo Staff of 1961 feels that they can give her no more than their deepest and most sincere thanks. Appreciation goes also to the Root Studios, the Administration, and the Faculty. 3 3113 02805 2621 GEN 371 Echo INDIANA COLLECTION LAKE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY INDIANA GEN 371.8976 DYER Echo 1 1 ROOM Ol SEP 2 8 ,992 RF TO RENEW, PLEASE GIVE ALL INFORMATION SHOWN ABOVE.
