THE 1963 ECHO Volume XXV Dyer Central High School Dyer, Indiana LAKE COUNTY PUBUC JJMAKT - 1 - 3 3113 01188 6308 Patterns Of ’63 Students come and students go, and each is sub¬ ject to that immutable force that underlies all schools, the constancy in the patterns of social, scholastic, and economic growth. It is no different at Dyer Central. All of us harbor our dreams, both secret and professed. Each of us strives for his goal within the limits defined by the school-customs and conventions established by preceding classes- patterns of adolescent development that retain the widom of past experience, but still bend and yield to the demands of our modern age. Our curriculum changes, but it still embraces the funda- mental courses that challenged the minds of the past; our social whirl has been enlarged with a myriad of activities, but the vital moments of school life still oc¬ cur during those unguarded moments in class or during the exchange of lively pleasantries in the corridor; students eat different foods, wear different clothes, may drive to school in cars, take I. Q. tests, college board tests, but they still remain that eternal adoles¬ cent, humbled by the knowledge of the debt they owe to the past - courageous as they face that moment of truth when they stand, diploma in hand, and realize the awesome task that confronts them - determined and resolute to make their world the best of all possible worlds - and echoing the conscience of all humanity when they realize that the more things change, the more they remain the same for each of us at Dyer Central is subject to that fixed framework of school life that guides us to our destination - a framework that is the pattern - the pattern of educational growth - the pattern of social growth - the pattern of physical growth. Patterns - In Activities Dancing-working-meeting new and interesting people-are all a part of an active high school social life. Plays-games-dances-parties-yes, even HOME¬ WORK!- are significant symbols of high school exper¬ iences. All too quickly, these activities are pushed into isolated corners of our minds where they soon become nothing more than vague patterns representing frivolity and fun. Appearances change, but youth doesn ' t. To¬ day ' s student and yesterday ' s scholar experience the same thrills-the same disappointments-- the same drive for achievement- the same ambitions. Modern frills replacing the hoop skirt have not changed the univer¬ sal beliefs that makes today s student the vital force of the school. Dances may be staged in more elabor¬ ate costumes-games may be played in shiny gyms and on the lush greenery of modern football fields- clubs may foster more ambition and far-reaching drives - but the basic principle of high school activities remains static-t.o promote healthier relationships with fellow students. Dyer High School has contributed an influ¬ ential pattern to the lives of all students, past and pre¬ sent. Morning. Dyer Central is quiet. The halls are sil¬ ent; the rooms are empty. Very soon the school will arouse, to be alive through young people--working, learning, laughing. The first bus arrives. Soon there is another; the student parking lot begins to fill. The doors open and close continually as students surge into the building. A new day is beginning. What happens during a typical day at Dyer Cen¬ tral? Most of the time is occupied with classes. Yet, in the free time between classes-breaks, lunch hour, be¬ fore and after school a student manages to laugh with his old friends, get to know new ones, dance, gripe about his homework-all the things that make up a stu¬ dent’s memories of his days at Dyer. School Days Offer Opportunities Buses deposit eager students on a cold February morning. Getting the day off to a lively start with a dance in the foyer are Karen Jone s, Eileen Staniszeski, Barbara Schutz, Nancy Boyd, Marsha Niemeyer, and Jackie Siebert. Meet Elisabeth Bright, charming, vivacious-that ' s Elisabeth Baretti, pert foreign exchange student from Ger¬ many. Under the sponsorship of the Y-Teens, Elisa¬ beth spent the year as a student of Dyer Central, as a member of the senior class. Active in many of the school ' s organizations-Echo staff, German Club, Y-Teens, Drama Club, and G.A.A.- she also found time to act as a T.V. Aid and to tutor a German class. The opportunity to meet new people is one of the finest experiences afforded by the years spent in high school. Getting to know Elisabeth has proved this to many Dyer students. To Make New Friends Elisabeth spent several weeks in the home of Mrs. Kay Removing china from the cup-board, Elisabeth prepares Trapp, treasurer of the school. to set the table at Mrs. Trapp s house. - 7 - Halls Reflect This scene is repeated countless times during the school year as students pass from one class to another. Students rushing to gather books, coats, and last-minute snacks is a familiar after-school hall scene at Dyer Central. Sharon McFarland, Echo staff member, pauses before the door to the journalism room. The staff of the Comet, the school newspaper, grew this Christmas tree to boost Holiday spirit-and their sales quota! - 8 - Student Life Nowhere in a school is the presence of the students more keenly evident than in the hallways. Signs cheering the team on to victory before a game, decorations appropriate to the season, posters heralding the coming of dances, skating parties, and plays--each of these represents a phase of the social life of the student. The halls are where friends are made and news is exchanged and plans are formed. Every fad, every fashion innovation, every current say¬ ing finds its way into the halls of a high school. Many wonderful memories begin in the halls --the center of student life. This engaging character brought a smile to everyone in the midst of growing enthusiasm at the pep session before the Sectional game. Phil Govert and Shirley Hoover model attractive examples of a current fad-going-steady sweaters. Dave Tatro, Dick Rakoczy, and Rich Holmes seem to be hav¬ ing a lively after-school debate. Noon Brings Midday Breather Noon hour- a time to get together with friends, dance in the gym, play basketball, have a Coke. The noon hour offers temporary respite from the world of book reports, tests, term papers, and homework -just enough time to relax and . . . then off to class again. Playing basketball in the gym during the noon hour is preferred to eating by some. Eileen Staniszeski, Marsha Niemeyer, and Dianne Pawlowski sample their lunches en route to the cokebar. Proudly displaying their new b eige and brown sweaters are sophomores Sandra Sizemore, Rich Ellsworth, Sandi Ulandowski, Jackie Krebs, Sandra Scheidt, Bill Wilson, and Charles Atcher. Sweaters And Rings Eagerly Awaited The arrival of class sweaters or rings is always an exciting event in the life of a student. The student tradi¬ tionally receives his sweater as a sophomore; his ring as a junior. Each class chooses a sweater and ring different from those chosen by previous classes--a custom that gives each class a symbol of its individuality. Henry Edwards shows off his new sweater to Jerry Powell and Mr. Lucas, class sponsor, as Sue Hoover and Jackie Kasper search for theirs. Beverly Piepho gleefully exhibits her newly-acquired class ring to fellow juniors Bob Spinozzi and Leon Heldt. Senior Terry Rudisel proudly wears the sweater that she obtained as a sophomore. SCHOOL fvru School s out. Locker doors slam shut for the last time; students rush to catch early buses,- others gather in the foyer at the coke bar. Cars and buses pour out of the side streets surrounding the school. The school day is at an end-but now what? Many of the students have part-time jobs and go there directly from school. Others go home to do schoolwork, relax, or get ready for a school event in the evening. Several things are usually happening after school-club meetings, band rehearsals, and athletic practices--so some studentes remain for these. Student life does not end when the last bell rings -for most it is an all-day matter. Varied Activities Occupy Students Sharon Anvick, loaded with papers, books, coat, and purse, rushes to catch her bus. Jim Lewkowski spends many of his after-school hours studying. Wayne DeGoey, like many other students, has a part- time job to earn extra money. Sandra Ramsey and her fellow band members fre¬ quently remain at school for practice with Mr. Jordan. Elisabeth Baretti sometimes enjoys watching television in her leisure moments. After School Evening. The sounds and sights of the school have changed; a new atmosphere prevails. The school is brightly lighted, welcoming all who arrive. The stu¬ dents are dressed in pastel formals emphasized by the black and white of tuxedos. . .or perhaps wool sheaths and suits. . maybe even sweat shirts, berets, and leo¬ tards for a Beatnik Dance. Music issues from a gym unfamiliar with its colored lights and crepe paper streamers. Excitement and anticipation so fill the air as to be almost tangible. The prom, Homecoming, the junior play--only a few of the many evenings to be remembered. Evenings Brightened By Donees Mr. Jordan, Ken Stromberger, Bill Birch, Bob Rayfield, and Only beatniks were allowed to attend this way-out affair. Sandra Ramsey provided music for the Beatnik Dance. - 14 - Two precedents were set with the production of The Curious Savage ' . For the first time a junior class play was given. It was a play that ran for two nights. Presented by the clctss of ' 63, this comedy was the culmination of weeks of after school and evening practices. Miss Marilee Thanholdt was the producer- director. Technical advisor was Mr. Donn Edwards. CAST OF CHARACTERS Florence. Hannibal. Fairy May. Jeffrey. Mrs. Paddy. Titus. Samuel. Lily Belle. Ethel.

And Drama Miss Wilhelmina (Gail Ross), Hannible (Jim Wozniewski), and Jeff (Peer Lykke) watch Fairy May (Kathy Boyer) dangerously try to reach a book, The Life Span of the Ape.” Mrs. Savage (Carol Detchon) apparently fears reprisal by her children Titus (Bob Rayfield), Lily Belle (Shirley Hoover), and Samuel (Allan Maschger). On dress rehearsal evening, Marsha Nie- meyer, Diane Pawlowski, and Carol John¬ son applied make-up to Lynda McPherson, Shirley Hoover, and Peer Lykke. Homecoming-first big social event of the year-starts off with a parade through Dyer. After winding its way through the streets of the town, the parade ends at the football field. Here the winning floats are selected. The evening is climaxed by a rally and a bon¬ fire. The following evening the big game is played. This year Dyer lost to Gavit, 0-6. Im¬ mediately afterward, the Homecoming semi- formal dance is held, at which the King and Queen are crowned. These events combine to make the two exciting days of Homecoming among the busiest and happiest of the school year. Seasonal Dances Standing before the blazing bonfire are cheerleaders Kathy Boyer and Barbara Hall. First place went to Mr. Mygrants jun¬ ior homeroom float, Let ' s Plant Those Gladsi When decorating the gym, the best place to begin is at the top. Homecoming King and Queen, seniors Larry Robinson and Gail Ross, were crowned at the dance by Dick Rakoczy, president of the Lettermen s Club, and Dayle Toth, cap¬ tain of the Varsity cheerleaders. Other candidates were Rayette Stefanski and Randy Ferguson, juniors; Nancy Boyd and Paul Karczewski, sophomores; and Sandy Roe and Tom Mygrants, freshmen. Enjoying an evening of laughter and dancing are Barbara Hall and her escort Paul Ladd. Silver Bells ' was the theme of this year ' s Christmas dance. Sponsored by the Y-Teens- for¬ merly the Sunshine Society--this girl-ask-boy af¬ fair is the highlight of tlhe holiday season. The Y-Teens spent all of Saturday morning and after¬ noon transforming the gym and foyer into a winter wonderland for the dance on the evening of December 15. A snow-frosted sleigh drawn by two golden reindeer awaited the girl chosen Queen--junior Janet Stromquist. Enliven - 17 - Waiting expectantly for the announcement of who are to be Prince and Princess of the prom are candidates Marion Gloser, Jim Bricker, Mary Helderman, Tom Brusch, Kathy Boyer, Larry Robinson, Gail Ross, Shirley Hoover, Phil Govert, and Bob Crider. A shadowy avenue, illuminated by the glow of a solitary lamppost. . .a quiet sidewalk cafe. . . signposts bearing famous French names. . flick¬ ering candlelight at a table for two. a sky sprinkled with a million shimmering stars. . .music drifting from a bandstand in the park. . a flowery, cart overflowing with a profusion of color... the Eiffel Tower in the distance . . .an ancient stone fountain, weathered by the winds and storms of ages... an evening of enchantment Under Paris Skies. Prince Tom Brusch and Princess Mary Helderman relax for a moment in the midst of an exciting evening. While walking through the park, Doyne Cole and Cindy Breitzke paused to gaze into the old stone fountain. An Enchanted Evening “Under Paris Skies” Regal pair Rich Snearly and Eileen Thiery glide through the dance traditionally devoted to the King and Queen. Danny Stephen and his date Kathy Boyer survey the results of his efforts as chairman of the Prom Committee. Bob Burish and Pam Krajewski linger for a moment over the dance program-a treasured remembrance of an evening Under Paris Skies. The search for Knowledge, the long hours of preparation and the last minute cramming for tests all constitute an invariable phase of our curriculum. Courses change, teachers come and go, but the basic pattern of learning has endured through many periods of modernization. It is with this basic pattern that the student of Dyer Central strive toward the education that has become such a neces¬ sary part of all our lives today. The addition of many new courses has been of invaluable assistance to students who want to widen their rings of knowledge. The pattern in our curriculum is present as it has always been, but it is the minor changes that give our cur¬ riculum the growth necessary to an ever-changing, ever-expanding world. The administration, effectively man¬ aged by Mr. Louis Cinko, Mr. George Bibich, and Mr. Fred Jones, is chiefly re¬ sponsible for the rapid progress Dyer Central has made during the past year. Mr. Jones, principal, and Mr. Bibich, su¬ pervising principal, have done much to bring about Dyer’s acceptance in the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Mr. Cinko, our new trustee, handles the school ' s many com¬ plicated financial matters. Mr. Louis Cinko has assumed the duties of Township Trustee for the first year. Relating the school needs to the public and hiring personnel are among Mr. Cinko ' s new functions. Mr. George Bibich, who has given seven years of dis¬ tinguished service to the St. John School System, is now the Supervising Principal. Under the guidance of Mr. Bibich, our school has not only become an accredited member of North Central, but is now realizing a period of growth and improvement. Fred Jones, in his seventh year as principal, has been instrumental in our schools being selected for member¬ ship in North Central Association of Schools. This selec¬ tion climaxed many years of preparation. Other members of the administration include competent counselors, Mrs. Jean Wease and Mr. Glenn Eberly. Both Mrs. Wease and Mr. Eberly do much to lessen the many problems which stu¬ dents face in high school. Mrs. Lela Howell, business secretary, and Mrs. Kay Trapp, financial secretary, do a fine job of keeping things in order. Not only are they ac¬ tive and alert, they always add cheerfulness to the hectic office routine. Mrs. Mary Lions, R.N., school nurse, does her share in adding a health¬ ful and pleasant atmosphere to the school. Her varied abilities are very appreciated, not only here, but in the other schools she serves also. Counselling over 800 students is no mean task as Mr. Eberly and Mrs. Wease can testify. Although this job is very difficult and time consuming, their hard work is rewarded by the satisfaction of seeing students be¬ coming better adjusted because of careful guidance. Mrs. Lela Howell ' s measured tones have become a familiar part of our school day. Her voice is heard over the P.A. system announcing events and activities. Mary Lyons, R.N., serving Dyer Central H. S., Kahler, and Kol- ling, has many varied activities as school nurse. The job takes much skill and patience. Mrs. Kay Trapp, school treasurer, is an invaluable cog in our school or¬ ganization. Besides the task of con¬ trolling financial matters, her friend¬ ly words have been heard by many. Teaching general science is Mr. Mayhugh. A.B.; Olivet College. Chemistry and physics are Mr. Lucas ' subjects. B.S.; Indiana State. Mr. Vereb teaches chemistry and biology. B.S., Indiana; M.S.; U. of Wisconsin. Mathematics Is The Go together like a horse and carriage. Math and Science, that is. Mathematics has been called the lan¬ guage of science; it is sometimes defined as a science of numbers. It is not strange, then, that these two fields are closely related in Dyer’s curriculum. Karen Carter and Bill Koslovsky eager¬ ly examine the new microscope while a proud teacher, Mr. Mayhugh, looks Senior chemistry students Tom DeMik, Barb Schutz, and Turhon Murad operate hydrogen generators in the lab under the watchful eye of Mr. Lucas. Eileen Hero and Terry Loomis consult each other about a first year algebra problem. Language Of Science Mathematics is an intricate, precise, and challenging study. It develops an orderly, logical approach to solv¬ ing everyday problems, not necessarily only the mathe¬ matical ones. The study of science can be useful to anyone from the would be-doctor to the future homemaker. It holds the answers to involved medical problems, and the not- so-involved how and why of day-to-day living. Mr. Phillips seems to en|oy administering rough tests to his advanced algebra class. Directing athletics, teaching general math and algebra are the duties of Mr. Kerns. B.S.; Indiana State, M.S.; Pur¬ due. Teaching geometry and trig is Mr. Lawson. B.S.; Indiana State. Algebra and Geometry are Mr. Warrens ' Sublets. A.B. Neb. State; M.A.; Columbia U. ; M.S.; U. of III. Advanced algebra and gen¬ eral math are the courses taught by Mr. Bill Phillips. B.S.; Indiana State. - 25 - Pins And Noodles Girls with an eye on a domestic future find the know-how they will need in the home econo¬ mics courses. How to sew a pretty dress or bake a tasty cake or manage a tricky budget are skills that can each be acquired by the home-maker of tomorrow. Looking at the sewing machines with apprehension are be¬ ginning seamstresses Judy Scheidt and Cindy Bill. Virginia Payne, Kathy Osborne, and Gayle May- den seem bent to the task of washing the sheets for the nurse ' s office. Mr. Kavaliunas is the German teacher, here for his third year. M.A. U. of Vilnilis, Lithuania. Teaching Latin for the first time at Dyer is Mrs. Monbeck. A.B.; Butler University. Teaching Spanish this year is Mrs. Palmer. A.B.; Ursuline College Amo, Ich Liebe, Amo Why does any school offer courses in foreign languages? The answer is that students who have gained some know¬ ledge of a language other than their own are inclined to be more tolerant of other nationalities and to recognize them as people much like themselves. Spanish, German, Latin-each of these is offered at Dyer-each is a fascinating study. Not only the language, but also the dress, customs, and history of the country are delved into and examined. Larry Meyers receives valuable aid from Mr. Kava¬ liunas as Margaret Dust and Rosemarie Schubert look on. Judy Patchman and Cheryl Davis demonstrate Con¬ jugation of verbs to their first year Latin class. Language Arts Remains Miss Anderson teaches English and is sponsor of the Comet. B.S.; Indiana State. Miss Brinton teaches junior and freshman English. B.S.; Indiana State. Mrs. Warren and senior English go hand-in-hand. A.B. Milikin U.; M.A.; U. of Illinois Donna Holdosh, Electa Lea, JoAnn Tomecko, Ray Thilmont, Mark Graves, and Car¬ ol Ramsey hear Miss Anderson ' s famous lost words: In a group, don ' t allow the discussion to become heated. A little more than kin and less than kind. Familiar? It is to the senior English students who studied Hamlet. Strong emphasis is placed on English at Dyer; it is the one course of study necessary to succeed in almost any profession. Two objectives are ap¬ parent in the English department-ef¬ fective communication and literary appreciation, both well-worn phrases. - 28 - Solid Entry In Curriculum Teaching sophomore English is Mr. Protsman. Ph. B. U. of Chi¬ cago. Leading the juniors toward suc¬ cess in the English department is Miss Thanholdt. B.A.; Earlham College. Sponsoring the Echo, teaching business English and also fresh¬ man English is Mr. Robertson. B.S., M.S.; Indiana State. but nevertheless the right ones. De¬ veloping an effective means of com¬ municating (which has nothing to do with passing notes!) means learning to speak and write in as precise and influential a manner as possible. An appreciation of fine literature and knowledge of how to recognize such literature are rewarding traits in any¬ one. Determinedly studying for College Boards is Mrs. Warren ' s first hour senior Eng¬ lish class, led by Cheryl Johnson. Puzzled over his sentence, Bill Miller refers to his text while Bob Van Houten fin¬ ishes his sentence. Judy Krueger consults Mr. Protsman about her problem. Social Studies Help Mr. Tennant teaches World History, giving more understanding to the history of our people. A.B.; Hanover College. History has always fascinated man; its analy¬ sis offers clues to the perplexing problems of to¬ day and tomorrow. Our economic, geographic, and social world is subjected to ringing debates, enlightening lectures, and animated discussions as teachers and students attempt to illuminate the present with the lamps of the past. Two of the specifically required courses for all students are included within the Social studies Mr. Robert Mygrants teaches American Government and U.S. History. B.S.; Indi¬ ana State. The attention of the class is focused on Barb Parks as Mr. Bereolos and Pat Gib¬ son endeavor to explain a governmental process to her. - 30 - Promote World Understanding New to Dyer is Mr. Baker, teaching U.S. History and English. B.S.; Indiana U. department. First, United States History, a subject with which all Americans should be familiar. Sec¬ ond is the study of the governmental and econo¬ mic systems of the United States. A senior course, it is intended to instill in students (who will soon be eligible to vote) the knowledge of how and why their country functions as it does, and the rea lization of the responsibility that is theirs to be useful and intelligent citizens. Dan Carnahan shows the location on the map, while Karen Foster reports on the past and present relations of Cuba and the United States. Sandra Sizemore listens. Coming to Dyer from Hammond is civics teacher, Mr. Leo Bereolos. He teaches American Government and economics. A.B , M.S.; Indiana U. ) w Business Students Introduced To Office Skills Mr. Hooper teaches typing and bookkeeping. B.S.; M.S.; Mr. Hayes is teaching General Business and law this year. B.S.; Ball State Teacher ' s College. Miss Beulah Husted teaches per¬ sonal typing, typing, and office machines. B.S.; State Teachers ' College, Mo.; M.B.A.; Univer¬ sity of Chicago. aching shorthand and typ- ) is Miss Janet Roger. B.S.; Indiana State. The business world is within the immediate future of some of Dyer Central s graduates. Through extensive courses in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, office machines, and related courses such as business law and business English, Dyer students are prepared to occupy a useful, profit¬ able niche in the competitive realm of business. Voices Blend In Rapturous Song In his first year at Dyer, Mr. Cox is teaching the chorus. B.S.; Indi¬ ana State. By giving the sopranos extra attention, Mr. Cox made his Christmas program very effective. - 33 - Bond Captures Sweepstakes A resounding cadence and the flash of pom-pons announce the coming of the Dyer Central marching band. Always enthusiastically greeted, this unit has be¬ come a favorite of the students and community. The greatest moment of the year for the band came when they were awarded the coveted Sweepstakes award at the State Contest in Fort Wayne. Other prizes for the year included a first division rating at that same contest and first place in the Whiting Fourth-of-July parade, each for the second consecutive year. Front row: T. Rudisel, B.

The money will be used to purchase new uniforms and instruments and to finance future trips to contests and parades.

Adams. to the school are the concert band, which provides entertaining and challenging programs during the winter season, the dance band, which enlivens school dances and public gatherings; and the pep band, which does so much to encourage support of the team and the fans. Mr. L. Milby, Mr. Linley, and Mr. Eggers are our shop drill press. Mr. Milby, B.S. Eastern III. U.: Mr. Eggers, B.S. teachers. Mr. Milby has invented an improvement for the Indiana U.: Mr. Linley, B.S. Wisconsin; M.S. Indiana U Jim Stout and Len Kuffel develop their skills in wood- shop. Shop Skills Developed Lyle Willet and Wayne Gagnon seem to be concentrat¬ ing very hard on their drawing projects. - 36 - Plans for a dream house, a coffee table for Mom, a pipe-rack for Dad—these could be pro¬ ducts of the industrial arts courses. More impor¬ tant, the knowledge and skill acquired prove use¬ ful throughout a lifetime. For Machine Age Art Herrman, under the supervision of Mr. Milby, learns to use the machine which Mr. Milby improved by means of his inven¬ tion. Mr. Linley instructs Jerry Brown in Technique while Paul Jostes and Mike Brooks continue their work. Dave Marine seeks Mr. Egger ' s approval of his protect while Bob Schilling continues to use the chisel on his protect. More Books Provided For Library Remembrances of the past, promises of the future, reflections of the present-- all of these are to be found in the realm of the literary world. The library of Dyer Central is its students pass¬ port into the world of books. There is nothing so rewarding as coming upon a thought that is fresh and new or a story that puts into words ones own feelings about something in just the right way. Miss Kathy Arbuckle is the very competent librarian for DCHS. B.S.; M.AT.; Indiana University. Senior Hank Yonker and freshman Bob Roe seem to have their positions somewhat. . reversed? It seems that they aren ' t co¬ operating with each other. Andy Hill concentrates on school work while Alan Schindley and Sharon Fitzpatrick make use of the library ' s excellent re¬ ference system. Skillful Hands And Head Needed For Art And Driving Holiday spirit at DCHS is given an added boost by the art students. The festive decorations that adorned the halls during the Christmas season were due to their craftsmanship. Students with a creative bent are especial¬ ly at home among the paints, paper, and glitter of the art room. Stop! Don t you see that sign? This may be the frantic cry of a harassed instructor when a beginner is at the wheel of the driver training car. After a few such harrowing experiences, the instructor can relax (?); his pupils are probably well on the way to becoming safe and responsible drivers. Marion Gloser and Coleen Greer complete their Christmas project first year art class. Hey, anyone for volley¬ ball? This enthusiastic shout may echo through Dyer ' s cavernous gym at any time during or after school on any day of the week. Physical education is attracting more attention nowadays and Dyer s program and facilities are ever-expanding. Health classes are a natural tie-in with physical education; knowing how to care for the body with proper diet and habits ranks in eaual importance with building the body through exercise. Go to it men! In physical education classes, the boys do grueling exercises to develop their bodies. Physical Fitness Being Stressed Mr. Yates is watch dog for noon hour in the gym. He also teaches Phys. Ed. B.S.; Indiana University. Mrs. Grau teaches Girls ' Phys. Ed. and health. B.S., Ball State Teachers College. Mr. Pilarcik came to Dyer from major league baseball. He teach¬ es boys ' phys. ed. and health. B.S.; Valparaiso U. Mr. Louis laconetti is the Director of Television at D.C.H.S. He is presently working for the improvement of the department. B.A.; M.A.; Indiana State. Television On The March Station DCHS is on the air. On Monday, these words precede Spotlight , focusing on one of the organizations at Dyer. Tuesday, perhaps the current world crisis or the latest de¬ velopments within the school will be discussed on Social Pow Wow. With Wednesday may come News In Review, also called the Comet Comments, and the weather, presented by the Comet staff, complete with commercials plugging the Comet. Coun¬ selor ' s Corner , with Mrs. Wease and Mr. Eberly providing stu¬ dents with advice and information about anything from college to job opportunities, is the Thursday offering. Our surprise-of- the-week day is Friday. This program could concern just about anything of interest to the students. None of these programs would be possible without The TV aids—-students who devote their time and abilities to bringing entertaining and informative programs to the students. Mr. Jordan shows the route he and the boys took on the trip to Ely, Michigan. T.V. aids Kathy Boyer and Hank honker op¬ erat e the television equipment. Clubs are an intensive phase of school life. The close asso¬ ciation with people of similar interests, the struggle to make ends meet, and the joy of a cooperative effort all compose an invariable pattern. Promoting school spirit, carrying out char¬ itable activities, and raising money are also among the functions accomplished by clubs at Dyer Central. Extra-curricular activi¬ ties have proved to be an important ingredient in a students ' agenda. Now, through an increasing number of clubs, Dyer Central is fast becoming able to accommodate the majority of student interests. The pattern is there, but with new clubs and new ideas, the pattern is fast becoming more expansive. Student Council members, leaders of the student govern¬ ment, are elected each year by fellow students. They must have at least a C average and, of course, they should have a high degree of respon¬ sibility. We trust that this year ' s members, like those in the past, will lead the school aptly and capably. Members include from left to right (bottom row): Eileen Hero, Barb Bucha, Phil Govert (Pres.), Pat Vra- bel (V.P.), Kathy O ' Connor, Susan Adley, Mr. Glenn Eberly (sponsor). 2nd row: Sharon Greichumos, Mary Hilbrich, Hank Edwards, Jerry Pow¬ ell, Marty Blaskovitch, Newell Eas¬ ley, Rayette Stefanski, Penny Han- rath, Sharon Fitzpatrick. 3rd row: Dan Stephen, Ken Kelsey.

The 1962 award winning Echo presented a chal¬ lenge to the ' 63 staff. The hard working ' 62 staff was rewarded for their efforts with a “A rating from the National Scholastic Yearbook Association. Few people realize the work, frustration, and final satisfaction that are combined to turn out the publica¬ tion of a yearbook. Since the yearbook is a record of the happenings each year, every picture, caption, and headline must be arranged to the best advantage to relate the full story. The yearbook serves as a medium to acquaint the community with the school activities, therefore all information must be accurately presented. Finally the last deadline is met and the staff can relax. Now the long wait until the return of the final product: and so ends, ECHO ' 63. [ffjL yTHi r 1 wmv- o Members of the Layout Staff; Susie Hilbrich, Cheryl Johnson, Elizabeth Baretti, Mary Helder- man, Sharon McFarland, and Marsha Niemeyer are very busy people on the Echo Staff. They are responsible for lay¬ outs of class pictures, curri¬ culum, activities, and clubs. Much time is spent viewing pictures and choosing the ones that tell the story the best. Captured By Echo Staff Much of the activity of the ECHO Staff is in the competent hands of the Business Staff. Butch Huppenthal, Advertising Manager ex¬ ercises his personality by procuring ads from the business firms. Receiving and disbursing funds for the Echo Staff is Newell Easley, Business Manager. Planning and carrying out the sale of Echo ' s was the responsibility of Circulation Manager, Danny Stephen. Laying out pictures, writing copy and captions was Phil Go- vert, Sports Editor. Shirley Hoover, Typist, is always busy typing communications as well as copy for the Echo. Writing copy for division pages and other significant pages is the |ob of Linda Tussey, Copy Editor. Jim Wozniewski, Photo¬ grapher, is responsible for many of the photographs appear¬ ing in the ECHO. Co meteers Report Meeting a deadline proved to be a con¬ tinual goal for fifteen industrious seniors throughout the school year. They saw to it that anything which was happening at school appeared in the Comet every two weeks. Students working on the Comet also par¬ ticipated in a state journalism conference at Franklin College in October and a regional conference at Valparaiso University in April. Attendance at these conferences enabled the students to get an idea of what other schools were doing with their papers and what pro¬ blems they encountered. The Comet of 1962-1963 was an enjoy¬ able paper for everyone ' s reading pleasure. How about a DULY? Comet members eagerly sell a DULY to Greg Parlor as he stands with his mouth watering. Rosemarie Schubert executes her duties as Comet Photographer by taking pic¬ tures of the many school activities. Important School Activities Editor, Gail Ross and Assistant Editor, Kathy Boyer look over an issue of the Comet while Miss Anderson, Sponsor and Sandy Halle, Business Manager dis¬ cuss advertisements for the newspaper. Fads and Fashions, Up Ziggy ' s Alley and special feature articles are written by Eileen Staniszeski, Fashion Editor,- Pat Vrabel, Sports Editor; and Cindy Brietzke, Exchange Editor.

It is not only knowledge of the foreign language which you receive, but also the tolerance, acceptance, respect, and admiration for another country. German Club students have many interesting projects and activities every year in seeing pictures, listening to folk music, reading German newspapers and magazines, and so develop interests and abilities in a way that cannot be done in class.

Here sit the proud Jacketmen of Dyer Central High School. JACKETMEN OF D.C.H.S. THESE JACKETS represent many hours of trying practice after school, on vacations, and during the summer months. Many times these boys became discouraged and wanted to quit or lay down on the job; but when they thought of the stiff competition and how rewarding it would be to wear a Letterman ' s jacket — there was a great¬ er inspiration to do their best in their field or field of sports. THE LONG AWAITED DAY had finally ar¬ rived. Now the boys are proud, their efforts were not in vain. Proudly representing the Freshman class are L. to R. Karen Wallis, Mary Kay Hilbrich (Capt.), Candy Krajewski, and Eileen Hero. Cheerleaders Arouse Team Spirit The spark of our Junior-Varsity cheerleaders comes from Lindia Logal, Sharon Fauser, Alice Pieffer (Capt.), and Jill Decker. THIS YEAR THE CHEERLEADERS have con¬ tinued to uphold our school spirit and promote good sportsmanship. This group of girls seems to have a tireless and endless amount of contagious spirit that they reveal to the student body. Few realize the amount of time and effort that is put forth by these girls. If you ' re in the halls on Tuesday or Thursday you might hear these girls working out new cheers to arouse the en¬ thusiasm of the students. This is the peppy and enthusiastic Varsity totem pole: Barb Hall (mascot), Dayle Toth (capt.), Jackie Siebert, Pam Krajewski, and Kathy Boyer. T-E-A-M! Y-E-E-A-A-H! TEAM! THIS EXUBERANT GROUP is just bursting their buttons to cheer our athletic teams on to victory. The PEP CLUB is one of the most active girls’ group for arousing school spirit. The clubs money-making project this year was selling sweatshirts which was a huge success. They sold over 250 sweatshirts and this money will go for awarding Pep Club members and cheerleaders.

Patterns - In Sports Cheering crowds, the games won and lost, the joy in victory and the frustrations of defeat- all are an invariable phase of sports. . Although the patterns re¬ main the same, various aspects change. Participants vary each year, rules sometimes are altered, and methods of coaching deviate. In spite of these differ¬ ences, athletes learn, through competition, the merits of determination and the value of a concerted effort. Sharing the struggle for victory brings forth not only an individual pride, but a sense of responsibility through joint endeavor. These are values that have not changed since competition first began and will continue unchanged forever. 1962 GRIDDERS: (Top row, left to right) Jim Cleair, John DeMory, Phil Govert, Art Herrman, Jerry Hancock, and Bruce Kilander; (Middle row, left to right) Mike Bar- sosky, Dick Rakoczy, Randy Ferguson, Larry Jones, Larry Robinson, and Russ Vaught; (Seated, left to right) Newell Easley, Bob Crider, Dave Tatro, Larry Moriarty, John Banks, Ron Austgen, and Ralph Ochs. Football-Rugged Sportsmen’s Test Dyer Central football has changed! Under new head coach, Carl Yates, the Indians ripped into the 1962 sea¬ son with a strong start. After three consecutive, hard- fought conference wins, the Indians sagged into a five- loss slump. The gridders broke their losing streak with a spirited smash of the title-contending Highland Trojans, but ended the season on the short end of the lop-sided Chesterton-Dyer score. The Indian hopes ended in a .400 season after the offense was stunned by the loss of key backs Phil Gardner (halfback) and John DeMory (block¬ ing back).

Below, Larry Jones bursts through the hoop just be¬ fore the Homecoming Game. The cheerleaders hold¬ ing the hoop are bubbling with enthusiasm and ex¬ citement. Larry Jones, three year letterman end, snatched passes thrown by Phil Gard¬ ner, Bruce Kilander, and Ron Kelly this season. Larry was elected to the All- Conference Second Team last season and All-Conference First Team this year. Lar¬ ry ' s pass-catching ability kept the Indians going when their ground-game was halt¬ ed. Tackle Larry Robinson completed his, second lettering season in the tough Indi¬ an line. Jerry Hancock, another tackle, roughed up the offensive opponents until a foot injury sidelined him for the last two games. Beefy Russ Vaught added strength to the defensive line, also. The combined-600 pounds of these three tackles proved to be an obstacle which most of the halfbacks in the conference could not overcome. Guards Dave Tatro and Art Herrman also finished their last year of Dyer Central Football. Defensive stalwarts pictured are (left to right) Dick Rakoczy, Russ Vaught, Jerry Hancock, Dave Tatro, Art Herrman, and Larry Robinson. Newell Easley holds as John DeMory kicks one of his numerous practice extra points. Coaches Stress Fundamentals Had none of his extra point attempts been blocked, John DeMory would have kicked 14 straight. DeMory, converted to the backfield last season, booted eight consecutive extra points at the beginning of the season and finished with the record 10 of 14. Some of his later attempts were thwarted because of inexperience middle-line blocking. Holding the extra points and second string quarterback this season was Newell Easley. Ne¬ well’s small, mobile frame was one of the tough¬ est, in relation to size, that Dyer had in 1962. Veteran linebacker, Bob Crider, was convert¬ ed from center to blocking back at mid-season. Bob ' s crisp blocking stunned defensive backs all season. On defense, Bob’s knee-high tackles cut the opponent backs down with only short gains. Above (left to right) backs Larry Jones, Bruce Kilander, Phil Govert, and John DeMory execute a tricky hand-off maneuver. Above, assistant coaches Matt Gorsich, Ed Robertson, and John Tennant discuss weaknesses and strong points of rival team. - 76 - Phil Gardner, senior halfback was also an Indian representative on the 1962 All-Conference Football Team. This accomplishment is par¬ ticularly remarkable because Dobie, as he is called, could only partici¬ pate in five contests. Phil’s selection reveals the respect which the Calu¬ met Conference coaches have for his running and passing ability. And Sportsmanship Muscular Dick Rakoczy, offen¬ sive and defensive end, executed fierce blocks on offense which en¬ abled our backs to run the ends. On defense, Rack was an alert, eager, and rough tackier. Rakoczy ' s broad- shouldered, 190-pound frame doubl¬ ed many opponent backs. Senior guard Phil Govert, was converted to offensive wingback at mid-season. Govert, got his “line¬ man’s dream , a touchdown, in the third quarter of the Highland game. As a defensive linebacker, Phil was awarded the Most Tackles Trophy in 1961. Although the boys previously mentioned have competed in their last season. Dyer ' s hopes have sure¬ ly not dimmed.With hefty linemen Ralph Ochs, Mike Barsosky, John Banks, and Larry Moriarty all re¬ turning with a full season of exper¬ ience, the team will be strong again next year. Backs Ron Kelly, Ron Austgen, Greg Cashman, Randy Ferguson, and 200 pound Bruce Kilander will also return to the Indian football scene in 1963. Phil Gardner and Head Coach Yates talk over offensive strategy during time out. The sweat and grime on Gardner ' s uniform give a hint of the work he and the others per¬ form on the grid.

Not pictured, Mike Barsosky. S Endurance and finesse are essential to a good basketball playmaker. One driving, jump-shooting guard or one “big man can make a team. Since Dyer Central ' s Cage Squad possessed neither a guard who was a dynamic shooter-passer-dribler, nor a cen¬ ter in the 6 ' 5 or 6 ' 6 bracket, Head Coach Robert¬ son was faced with the tough task of forming all of his material into fundamentally sound ballplayers. Six seniors and five juniors ranging in height from 5 ' 4 to a shade under 6 ' 2 were the boys that ‘Robbie’ ' made into a well-balanced basketball team. This unit scalped 7 of 19 opponents before heading to the sectionals. At the Gavit Holiday Tourney the Indians scored 88 points to out-score Gavit in the con¬ solation and set a Dyer Central record for points in one game. “Hoss” Leads Indians Hoss” Jones (right), consistent scoring, rebound¬ ing, and general floor-play led the Indians to many of their wins. Larry ' s game average of 19.3 per game was the highest on the squad. The husky 6 ' 1 , 190 lb. Jones-frame could run and shoot with the best in the conference. Mike Barsosky, a Jones-size junior, captured the high individual point record when he dropped 44 points through the Gavit hoop during the 88 - 59 Indian-romp of the Gladiators. Barsosky is expected to be a stalwart of the ’63-64 squad. Also on the Indian front line were massive Russ Vaught, and high-jumping juniors Randy Ferguson and Rich Kenniger. Completing the squad were the fore-court generals - the guards. Seniors Newell Eas¬ ley, Joe Britton, Tom Brusch, and Phil Govert and jun¬ ior Rich Devine played guard position. Slender, 6 ' 1-j Devine is expected to carry on guard duties on the ’63- ' 64 squad. w J Ml 1 ' ' 52 ' At right, Larry Jones is ready for the re¬ bound as Rich Ken- niger uses the back- board for two points.

Larry Myers (below) strains and drives into his man for a pin. Rock Wins Sectional! Wrestling captain Dick Rakoczy was a big factor in Indian success. Rack helped Coach Rodehorst by lead¬ ing the team not only during the matches with his 21-1 record, but also during the nightly practice sessions. While compiling his record of 15 pins out of 21 matches, Ra¬ koczy was able to win the Calumet Conference Cham¬ pionship, Sectional Championship, and Regional Third Place. In the picture of Rakoczy on this page the referee lofts Rack’s mighty arm in the traditional sign of vic¬ tory as his defeated opponent dejectedly leaves the mat. Sophomore Bill Wilson captured second place at the Calumet Conference Match. Wilson was the only Indian to place at the Conference meet other than Rakoczy. - 85 - Golf Team Boosts All Returning Lou laconetti and his golf¬ ers proudly display their 1962 Calumet Conference Championship Trophy. From left to right they are: Ron Kelly, Bob Roe, Jerry Curtis, Coach laconetti, John DeMory, and Newell Easley. - 86 - Dyer Central was again successful in winning the Conference Golf Cham¬ pionship in 1962. This marks the fifth title that the Indian golfers have taken within the last six seasons-a record for which Coach Lou laconetti should be proud! With all of last year’s lettermen returning for the 1963 season, Coach laconetti has jus¬ tified hopes to go down state. The well-traveled Indians golf against the best competition in this state. In addi¬ tion to all of the Hammond and Gary schools, they meet the major schools of South Bend, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Laporte, and Michigan City. On this tough schedule, the golfers won 25, lost 9, and tied twice in ' 62. Having the same first five men this year, they hope to better that already fine count. Lettermen Veteran letterman, Newell Easley, will be Dyer ' s first man ' ' this spring as he was in 1962. Easley has lettered in golf at Dyer since his freshman year. This season, with senior John DeMory, junior Jerry Curtis, and sophomores Ron Kelly and Bob Roe smashing dri ves and sinking twenty footers along with Easley, the team has the material to win the conference and go on to state competition. Individual Accomplishment Coaches Paul Hayes and John Tennant (below) discussing the squad ' s chances and plans for the 1963 Conference race. Through Individual At right, sophomore Tom Delinck finishes ahead of the pack in the strenuous Dyer Central ' s Cinder Squad finished 8th in the twelve-team Calumet Confer¬ ence in 1962. The Indians won 4 meets and lost 4 by defeating 9 of 16 oppon¬ ents. Rich Holmes, senior track veteran, was the highest point-getter on the track team. Holmes ' well-developed body flew to winning heights in the pole vault in most of last year s meets. Holmes also participated in the broad jump. Phil Gard¬ ner, dashman, and Joe Lucas, miler, are also returning senior lettermen. Rich Ken- niger, 440 yard dasher; Randy Ferguson, distance runner; and Jim Senzig, hurdler are returning junior stalwarts. Sophomore miler, Tom Delinck, will return in 1963 after a promising show in ' 62. Self-Conditioning Senior letterman Mike Clark sprint¬ ed in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, ran in the half-mile relay, and participated in the high jump in 1962. The picture at the right shows the muscular strain on Mike’s body at the beginning of a 100 yard romp. The effort put forth by these indi¬ viduals not only during meets, but also during practice sessions is rewarded with significatn blue, red, or white ribbons as the only material recognition that cinder- men receive. Having these boys returning in 1963, Coaches John Tennant and Paul Hayes expect to improve upon last year ' s record. New Coach Brings Promise To Baseball Outlook In 1962, the Indian Diamond Squad, with just four senior players, got five con¬ ference wins against six defeats. Behind the power hitting of seniors Jim Austgen, Bob Wells, and Dennis Hardy, the club out-lasted their opponents in their wins. Now, with just four graduated lettermen, new Head Coach Al Pilarcik is studying the records in an effort to plan the 1963 strategy. Mr. Pilarcik, formerly a major- league ballplayer, will attempt to put the Indians among the conference leaders. Coach Lon Lawson will assist Coach Pilar¬ cik with the hardballers. At the Griffith Invitational Tourney the Indians opened the season with a sec¬ ond place tournament finish. The close of the season was a disheartening confer¬ ence loss to Merrillville. During the sea¬ son, Joe Britton, relief pitcher, won three conference ballgames with no conference defeats. Joe ' s junk baffled fast-ball hit¬ ters all spring. Phil Govert, a four-year pitching letterman, will hurl for the Indi¬ ans again in ' 63. In 1960 Phil lettered in in his freshman year as a relief pitcher and short-stop. As a sophomore starter in 1961, Phil was selected to the All-Con¬ ference Baseball Team after compiling a 4 and 2 record for that season. Govert, having had a slump season in 1962, is ready for the chance to pitch to confer¬ ence hitters this coming spring and he is hoping to better the record that he made in 1961. Bob Crider, four-year letterman cat¬ cher, will receive for Britton and Govert this season. Bob had the misfortune of receiving a fractured collarbone last sea¬ son in the Whiting game. He incurred the injury while attempting to keep the win¬ ning run from scoring. The result was the loss of the game, 2-1, and the loss of the starting catcher for the remainder of the season.

Hopes soar high for the athletic teams and grades, while dreams of the future include, for many, further education. Each individual student leaves his mark on the per¬ sonality of the school, for a school is the reflection of its students. Both happiness and sadness are experienced as Dyer students follow their daily routine. Close friend¬ ships are strengthened and weak ones dissolved as habit patterns are developed among the student body, and each class courses along toward graduation. Work filled days and fun filled nights rounded out the pattern of life for the students. Fads were ac¬ cepted or rejected as tastes changed. Each day brought a new experience to help make the high school years of Dyer s students the best in their lives. All these things and many more went to make up the pattern of ' 63 for Dyer Central. Seniors Scon The Senior class officers led their class in setting a fine example for underclass¬ men. They are pictured with their sponsor, Mr. Phillips.

New Horizons We, the class of ' 63, have arrived at a decisive moment in our lives: we must now choose what our futures will be. Some of us will go on to study at college or trade school; others will begin full¬ time employment; still others may join the armed services. Wherever we go from here, whatever we do, we will remember Dyer Central with grati¬ tude and fondness. As a class, we have produced a very successful Prom, Under Paris Skies. Ours was also the class that set the precedent of a Jun¬ ior Class Play by presenting THE CURIOUS SAV¬ AGE in the spring of ' 62. We have built Home¬ coming floats, operated the Coke bar, sold candy, and organized various skating parties, dances, and even a car wash. Now however, we must do things as individuals, for that is the significance of Graduation. Jerry Hancock was Dyer ' s high scorer in the National Merit Qualifying Test.

Their sophomore year reflects the spirit and determination of the class. Their efforts were spurred on by the presence of Mr. Ted Lucas, their indefatigable spon¬ sor. Sophomores were ever present in all school activities, be it intramurals or var¬ sity athletics, scholarship or school activi¬ ties, friendship or leadership. Getting their class sweaters was perhaps the one outstanding moment in their school life. They are now prepared to face the chal¬ lenge of their junior year, steadfast in the knowledge that they have acquitted them¬ selves well during the year just ended. The Sophomore class is led to dizzying heights by their capable officers and sponsor.

Selected By Freshmen Beauty, brawn, and brains were prominent among the freshman class as they made their en¬ trance with a flourish. They came from various junior highs throughout St. John Township, but they soon dissolved their previous enmity and became staunch Dyer Central High School students, wil¬ ling and eager to bring honor and glory to Dyer Central High School. They came; they saw; they adapted themselves to four minute class changes, stubborn locker combinations, spirited athletic events, interminable assignments, tough but friend¬ ly teachers, the menacing upper classmen and with this wealth of school life to give them confi¬ dence, our Freshmen now become Sophomores with the purpose of becoming Dyer Central ' s outstanding class.

Products differ, some small, some large, but all important; new methods of selling are con¬ stantly introduced, but all are guided toward the same goal; establishments vary, some old, some new, but each with its own personality; and advertising is an ever- changing medium, yet always with the purpose of sel¬ ling. Although business is a continually changing indus¬ try, there remain set patterns which never cease to exist. The dependence of all consumers on producers and vice-versa, the competition between businessmen, and the importance of business on all of our lives—These are all patterns that are, and have been, invariable. It is with the knowledge of the vast influence of business, on all of our lives, that we pay particular at¬ tention to this section of advertising. The L. Keilman Co.
