(Senior OF 1964 PRESENT THE VOLUME XXVI ' Dyei @eHtnat School i ' Indiana Shadows . . . Curriculum Curriculum-the essence of school life, the anvil of learning, the heart of educational experience.... We learn from infancy-we begin to mature physically and mentally from the day we draw our first breath. Our lives are linked unalterably to the educational ex¬ periences we receive and our response to them. The random learning of pre-school life is soon replaced by the academic discipline of school known as curriculum- a new experience, a new academic force that will un¬ deniably leave its imprint upon our mind and body. Math-English-reading-writing-science-history-speak- ing-listening-and a myriad of other areas unfold their wings and whisk us away on a soaring adventure. Cur¬ riculum presents new ideas to be absorbed-rejected- debated-discussed-discarded. We marvel at the my¬ steries of science, the order of numbers, the fluency of language, the fascinating lessons of history, the soul¬ stirring message of the arts, and our identification with man and his monumental successes-his colossal failures. Students ' lives are measurably affected by their adjustment to the formidable rigors of study, an d their personal success-or failure-may well hinge upon the degree they succeed-or fail-in the classroom. Curriculum has left inscribed its impeccable mark¬ ing on our minds, our bodies, our very being, regard¬ less of individual response to the machinations of edu¬ cation. We cannot live it over, we cannot vow to do better, we cannot make new resolutions. The record of our efforts will shadow us for the rest of our lives. Administrators Guided Mr. George Bibich is Supervising Principal. Mr. Fred Jones is Principal. Mr. Louis Cinko is St. John Township Trustee Mr. Bibich and Mr. Jones work diligently over school matters. Our progressive admini stration, diligent and hard working, is headed by Mr. Louis Cinko, trustee, Mr. George Bibich, supervising principal, and Mr. Fred Jones, principal. Mr. Cinko, in his second year as Township Trustee, finds his job a great responsibility, but a rewarding and satisfying one. Handling financial matters, relating the school needs to the public, and hiring personnel are among his various duties. Mr. George Bibich, in his eighth year in the St. John School System, is constantly striving for improvement of the schools. Among his varied duties are the purchasing of needed school facilities, and the establishing of school policies. Mr. Fred Jones, in his eighth year as principal, is de¬ dicated to the constant improvement of school standards. He continually seeks to improve the general school spirit and to build school morale. Students And Activities Our invaluable guidance staff is from left to right: Mr. Over nine hundred students are under their capable Glen Eberly, Mrs. Jean Wease, and Mr. Lon Lawson. guidance. Be sure to get your make-up slip in on time! Your appointment is tomorrow! This class is requir¬ ed! Detention! These are a few of the expressions commonly heard from our ubiquitous counseling staff. Mrs. Wease and Mr. Eberly have the much needed experience of dealing with school prob¬ lems. Mr. Lawson, counseling for his first year, has proven his ability in guidance work. Our alert, smiling clerical staff consists of Le- la Howell, business secretary; Mrs. Loraine Mor- iarty, bookkeeper; Mrs. Kay Trapp, secretary-book- keeper for Mr. Bibich; and Mrs. Barbara Purdy, school treasurer. Mrs. Lela Howell Mrs. Loraine Moriarty Mrs. Kay Trapp Mrs. Barbara Purdy (Business Secretary) (Bookkeeper) (Secretary-Bookkeeper) (Treasurer) Mr. Roscoe Protsman; Ph.B. University of Chicago. Miss Susan Benner; A.B. Hanover College. Miss Dixie Workman; A.B. Anderson College. Mr. James Rodehorst; B.S. Valparaiso University. Literature And English Seeming to enjoy the panel discussion, led by Miss Benner in her Junior English class, are from left to right: Karen Kleven, Shirley Hoffman, Tom Kleist, Linda Hil- brich, and Nadene Keller. English is the most important of the world’s languages and is strongly stressed at Dyer Central. Experience has shown that the prevailing lack of this knowledge is a serious handicap. The know¬ ledge of English is invaluable to all students, be¬ cause it is used in trade, science, and literature more than any other language. The English lan¬ guage has more words in its vocabulary than any other. The average person uses perhaps ten thou¬ sand freely, and recognizes and understands thirty Sophomores happily study their English Literature. Provide Foundation For Learning Mrs. Warren clarifies Othello for her Senior English class. or forty thousand more. The study of English goes hand in hand with the history of the English speak¬ ing people, gives an insight into their character, mode of life, and habits of thought. At the same time it teaches a lesson in broad tolerance, for it shows that our language is an accumulation of many languages, varying in particular areas of the country. It is with intense pride that we tenaciously grasp our rich language heritage. Mr. Robertson ' s Freshman English class is entertained via tele¬ vision by classmates Bonnie Siebert, Rebecca Vance, Greg Litherland, Bob Russell and Ron Wallis. Miss Jewlene Anderson; B.S. Indiana State College. Mrs. Louise Warren; A.B. Milikin University; M.A. University of Illinois. Mr. Edward Robertson B.S., M.S. Indiana State. Mr. Loren Ruff; B.S. Indiana University.

Foreign Languages Aid Students Students read in their German text books while Mr. Kavaliu¬ nas explains to them. Dyer Central offers three foreign languages. They are German, Latin and Spanish. While learn¬ ing the basic fundamentals, they are also instructed in the customs, traditions, and history of the lan¬ guages. The language lab enables German and Spanish students to hear the languages spoken fluently. Charts and colorful pictures show the stu¬ dents the native dress and entertainment of the country. After completing a language course, stu¬ dents have an enriched interest in the language. Mrs. Palmer instructs her Spanish class in the language lab.

The Rhythmic beat of the drums and the thrilling blare of the horns introduce our fine Dyer Central Band. It has won many contests and has proven itself an ex¬ ceedingly superior band under the capable leadership of Mr. Douglas Jordan. The band is divided into many smaller divisions. Much of the thrill and excitement of the football games were provided at half time by the Dyer Central March¬ ing Band. The precision with which they march and the quality of the music they produce have gained much recognition for them. At the basketball games, the cheer¬ ing section was excellently supported by the pep band. The dance band has provided dreamy music for many of the social events of the year. Each spring the concert Band members are: B. Aaron, J. Aaron, L. Ahlborn, A. Ander¬ son, J. Armstrong, C. Boiler, D. Boiler, C. Borcher, G. Bryant, D. Cody, R. Collard, C. Davis, J. Draper, M.

Parkinson - 12 - band presents a program of enlightening musical arrangements for the public. The band is composed of many outstanding individuals. They have attended many state - wide contests and returned with a diversity of awards. The marching band is graced by the feminine beauty of the Centralettes. The use of two majorettes is a feat requiring intense practice and precision timing. They have added great distinction to the marching band of Dyer Central. Mr. Douglas Jordan has been band director at Dyer Central for seven years. It has been under his capable instruction that the band has excelled. Mr. Jordan attended Butler University, and he has at¬ tained a B.M.E. He has proven himself a fine attribute to our school. Mr. Douglas Jordan B.M.E. Butler University K. Ramsey, S. Ramsey, C.

Moth Reveals An Interesting World Mr. Kern ' s class doesn ' t seem very interested in his attempts to teach them. Are parallel lines really parallel? What is the theory of relativity all about? How was the size and shape of our galaxy determined? These are a few of the many fascinating topics covered in math classes. Science, as we know it today, could not have been what it is without the help of mathematics. Math courses have been made for those high school students who need use¬ ful mathematics which will prepare them for competent and happy citizenship. Mr. Dann Johnson helps Jim Lohman with his advanced math while the others are studying. Mr. Kermit Kerns Mr. Duane Koets Mr. Dann Johnson Mr. Serai Warren M.S., B.S., Purdue University A.B., Olivet College A.B., Olivet College. B.A., M.A., M.S.

Miss Marilyn Amick Mr. Murrell Duffie B.A., Purdue University. B.A., M.A., Washington College The science department at Dyer Central gives an unusually rich and illuminating picture of scientific thinking. They have offered thoughtful opinions on the possibilities and the limitations of science, what it can contribute to civilization, and what other ngredients are required to assure the progress of society. They strive to help students view the balance of both science and human values. Science teachers emphasize reason and wisdom in explaining scientific principles and exhort students to consult their hearts and heads to understand the phenomena of the world we live in. Modern science is not always easy, and when a student encounters dif¬ ficulty, the teacher can only make every effort to en¬ lighten, rather than to astound. In the above picture, Mr. Mayhugh is instructing two of his science students. Need information, a quiet place to study or a good book? Then the library at Dyer Central is the place for you. Many students enjoy the quiet isolation of the library. Books of many kinds can be found there. Miss Ar- buckle is very helpful to students who are in need of information. Catalogues and files of many kinds are available at the students con¬ venience. The library provides a perfect at¬ mosphere for study and relaxation. Library Provides Studious Atmosphere The Dyer Central Library serves as a quiet and accelerating place in which to study. - 16 - Miss Kathy Arbuckle, our invaluable librarian; B.S., M.A.T., Indiana University, University of California. Business Prepares For Careers For those students wishing to enter the business field, the business department at Dyer Central offers a variety of opportunities for learning. Courses varying from secretarial practice to bookkeeping and business law provide vital experiences needed for this field. Students completing these courses have suffi¬ cient knowledge to succeed in the career of their choice. - 17 - Mr. Paul Hayes B.S., Ball State. Miss Beulah Husted B.A., M.B.A. University of Chicago. Miss Mary Jane Struve B.A., Valpariso University. Mr. B. P. Hooper B.S., M.S., Indiana State. Mrs. Pluchinsky instructs Diane Countryman and Joan Edwards in the fine art of cookery. Mrs. Ann Pluckinsky B.S., Indiana State. Homemakers Of Tomorrow Today s woman insists on taking an active part in planning and managing the family’s future, and the home economics classes at Dyer Central hopes to pre¬ pare the girls for this event. These classes include cook¬ ing, sewing, home nursing, and child care. The girls learn to cook their own meals and sew their own clothes. It is a great privilege to be able to take care of those you love when they are ill. Home nursing teaches the students the necessary steps to achieve this goal. You can certainly be proud of your knowledge when the time comes to demonstrate this knowledge as a homemaker! Judy Scheldt is attended by Cindy Bill in home nursing. Mrs. Barbara Blankenship B.S., Indiana State. Mrs. Grau looks on approvingly as her class completes a difficult stunt. Mrs. Audrey Grau B.S., Ball State. Exercise Builds Strong Bodies Mr. Pilarcik gives instructions to his physical education class on basketball. Health and physical education are two closely re¬ lated subjects. When attempting to train the mind, edu¬ cators cannot disregard the body and how it looks, acts, and feels. Physical education should be recognized as education through exercise rather than mere physical exercise. NO matter what plans he may have for the future, every student should have a foundation of sound knowledge and good habits for healthful living. Mr. Al Pilarcik B.S., Valparaiso University. Senior Charles Pearison acquires skill on one of the many machines in metal shop class. Training Creates The buzzing of a saw, the humming of a drill, and the coarse sound of sand paper rubbed against hard wooden surfaces shatter the atmosphere of the shop classes of Dyer Central. Boys scurry back and forth, each with a definite purpose, as sparks fly from the welding torch and a machine grinds away Mr. Tomjanovich watches as Terry Darnell works industrious¬ ly in wood shop. Senior Dove Payne learns from Mr. Milby how to care for the involved machines in the shop at Dyer Central. Opportunities on an intricate design on a piece of metal. In shop, boys have the opportunity to develop their skills in the crafts of wood shop, metal shop, and mechanical drawing. These fine arts enable many boys to become successful craftsmen in the construction field. Greg Bodner learns the art of welding in the above picture. Mr. Linley aids Bob Van Houten in mechanical drawing while Skip Gose works diligently on his project. - 21 - Mr. Charles Baker B.S., Indiana University.

Social Studies Prepare For The United States is burdened with re¬ sponsibility toward all mankind. Our admir¬ able concern today with developing countries would have been more effective if we had assumed the role of world leadership sooner. It is for this reason that every student should have an active interest in the world. The so¬ cial studies department of Dyer Central strives to (stimulate) this (interest) in world happen¬ ings. The study is designed to be most help¬ ful to the pupil in getting a thorough under¬ standing of what they have read and discus- Mr. Bereolos and Barb Bucha discuss the Bill of Rights in gov¬ ernment class. Mr. John Tennant A.B., M.S., Hanover, Indiana State Mr. Robert Mygrants B.S., M.S., Indiana University, Indiana State. The Future sed. No one can fail to observe that we are living in a time of rapid change and bewild¬ ering problems. One of the purposes of edu¬ cation is to help each person to become a competent individual, able to make a living and to meet the problems of life. Another of its purposes is to help each person to get a- long with others. It is believed that the schools have no commission to reform the world, but has the inescapable duty to keep the chan¬ nels of information open and the spirit of in¬ quiry awake. Alan Schindley watches as Jackie Kasper points out a point of interest on the globe to Mr. Mygrants. Jackie Krebs explains a location as Dee DeVillez points it out on the map to Mr. Tennant. Lively Arts Stressed At Dyer Central Mr. Ruff demonstrates to his class the correct techniques of giving a speech. The significance of speech in drama ties the two subjects closely together. It teaches every student to speak clearly and fluently - in conversation, in informal and formal speech situations, in dramatics, on radio and television, and over the telephone. It emphasizes the concept that what a speaker says is as important as how he says it. The television system at Dyer Central is becoming increasingly important to all students. Closed-circuit television has furnished entertainment for homeroom and classroom time. Dyer Central’s closed-circuit TV has attracted state and nation-wide attention. Since its appearance on the local school scene, state educa¬ tional circles evaluate our program as the most com¬ plete, progressive system in the state. Mr. laconetti makes a minor repair on one of the television cameras in our TV. room. Hands And Heads Work Together IHAT IS YQU Mrs. Lenora Smith B.A., Indiana University. Art and driving are two closely related subjects taught at Dyer Central. Driving is an art. Many broad courses in art are available for present day living. Art class provides for creative activity, appreciational experiences, and for functional use of art knowledge. Dri¬ ver s education develops a workable attitude toward driving. The class concerns itself chief¬ ly with experience. The vicarious experiences gained by the student prepare him for driv¬ ing.

Activities Social activities are often regard¬ ed as an unimportant part of high school life, but it is through these ac¬ tivities that we actually learn to live. Students . . . people . . . contribute feeling, mood, and sentiment to school life; without people, the school would be an inanimate stage; The entire creation of a personality involves not only a well-developed curriculum, but also a well-rounded social life. The undercurrent of our activi¬ ties vitalize the entire school, and it is these same activities that create en¬ during memories of our high school career. We will recall when we . . . cheered our teams to victory . . . fev¬ erishly prepared Homecoming floats . . . breathlessly awaited the final judging results . . . crammed for se¬ mester finals . . . attended the prom in all its splendor and beauty . . . strolled hand in hand with that certain someone. Whatever the future holds for us, we will never forget these mo¬ ments of fun and excitement, even though many other phases of our school life will pass into obscurity. For some, these things will be no more . . . but our activities will re¬ main vivid in our memories as they simply become shadows of the past, as we tread further along the path of life. Inconspicuous Moments A typical day in the life of a student at Dyer Central High is one of a variety of seemingly un- noticeable instances—the boredom of endless lec¬ tures; the anxiety of a close-scoring game; the be¬ wilderment of being discovered when off guard; the tranquillity perceived during a quiet moment; the studious brainwork to finish all your homework assignments; those devious moments of sly mischief; those instances of unenlightenment when the brain Astounded ' ' (2) Unperturbed (3) Brainwork (4 “Anxiety Catch Students Off Guard is an impenetrable wall; the panic and embarrass¬ ment of being unprepared for class; the anger and frustration of life ' s minor tragedies. It is the mo¬ ments and fellings captured on these pages, and the many others we have experienced, that shall never fade from our memory. It is these little, in¬ conspicuous moments and incidents that make up our school life.

Located at the south end of the school, I am readily accessible to all and used for diverse pur¬ poses. I see the happiness of the students as they receive honor awards, I see them as they excitedly participate in the pep sessions. I see their tears and feel their despair at suffering a bitter defeat. I am there when seniors graduate; I stand in awe as jun¬ iors prepare for the junior-senior prom; I am there as sophomores jubilantly receive their sweaters; and I see the expression of fear and bewilderment on the faces of freshmen. I was there when Judge Obermiller of Whiting delivered his inspiring mes¬ sage to the entire student body. I attend every sock- hop, and I do my best to comfort the tired, the weary, the bored, the nonchalant observer. And last, but not least, I see eternal youth attempt to develop their physical abilities. Yes, I am the gym — the center of diverse activities. Now, as the day finally comes to a close, my lights are dimmed, the dust settles, and quietly I await the coming of to¬ morrow. Sharon Fauser and Jackie Siebert energetically lead the stu¬ dent body in a spirited pep session. Sophomores receive long awaited sweaters. And Varied Activities Mr. Mayhugh proudly receives an award from the junior class of 1964 presented to him by Sharon Putz. Paul Ladd, John Sedlacek, Jim Thiel, and Pete Bogden vigorously participate in intramurals at noon. Not all assemblies are interesting, are they John? Sharon Fauser, Cheryl Anderson, Mary Laskey, and Barb Rhoads par¬ ticipate in singing class cheer, but it seems that John Banks just can ' t put his heart into it. The now quiet and darkened gym assumes an air of austerity. Some people can ' t do anything right. Strange Things Strange and fantastic things are contin¬ uously happening at Dyer Central. It ' s people that make up our school, and one must admit that these very same people can be hilariously funny at times. As you look over these two pages, undoubtedly you will recall the many ridiculous instances in your school life. Look fellows only one hand. -32 - Lose something? • • f LB, • TV 5 I am going to stay here until you say unde.

Formal And Informal Dances The twist, the standstill, the workout, the cha-cha — what do these bizarre names mean to us? Why, the dance crazes at Dyer Central! The waltz, of course, is still the old stand-by, and the one dance that nearly everyone can do. These dances that we do now, we will always remember. Dances, like everything else in this world, are not unchangeable. In fact, dance styles never stop changing. Dances are signs of the times. The re¬ flect the lively outlook of exuberant youth seeking self- expression. As times change, dances symbolize similar changes in adolescent temperament and personality. It ' s these dances that we ' ll associate with our good times throughout our high school life. Couples waltz slowly to the dreamy music of the Exports. - 34 - Janet Stromquist, former Y-Teen ' s queen, crowns senior Diane Czech as reigning queen of 1963. Other candidates for queen were: Jackie Kasper, junior; Judy Scheidt, sopho¬ more; and Ann Pavell, freshman. Provide A Contrast In School Life Fantasy In Frost ' set the scene for an evening of enchantment at the Y-Teens winter formal, the highlight of the holiday season. Excitement, suspense, and happiness were the emotions felt by the couples as they swayed to the rythmical melodies played by the John¬ ny Nolan Band. Blue and white streamers created a dreamy setting in the decorous gym. The momentous occasion was brought to a climax with the crowning of the senior queen, Diane Czech. A sigh, . . a whisper. . .a kiss stolen in the dim glow of the candlelight. Enjoying themselves during the enchanted evening are Marlene Anderson, Mike Koe- ple, Loretta Fogarty, Pam Krajewski, and Mike Muenich. Autumn Brings Rejuvenation and spirit marked the scene at Dyer Central during the festive Homecoming Week¬ end. King and Queen candidates and parading floats, accompanied by the stirring rhythms of the Dyer Central band, created a fascinating scene for the Homecoming Parade. Hours of feverish prepar¬ ation yielded lavish and gaily-bedecked floats. Who can forget the anticipation and suspense that held all spellbound as the winning float was an¬ nounced? The students and team concluded the pre¬ game pep rally with victory in mind, spirit in heart .... goal in sight. Spirit and excitement prevailed throughout the whole Homecoming Weekend—especially at the football game where Dyer Central ' s Indians triumphed over the Troopers of Gary Wirt in a close score of 7-6.

The victory over the Troopers set the stage for an en¬ chanting and entertaining evening at the Homecoming Dance. The memorable occasion was climaxed by the traditional crowning of the King and Queen. For the seniors, this momentous occasion was an es¬ pecially important one — it was the last Homecoming that they would partake in as students of Dyer Central High. The happiness, the sadness, the hectic moments — all would never be forgotten. Sophomores produced a float that It was featured by the model of a the trap. Troopers!!

Then as the clock strikes twelve, the great mo¬ ment finally arrives! Susan Newland and Wayne Shupp are crowned Prince and Prin¬ cess, and Cindy Breitzke and Dick Rakoczy are crowned the regal King and Queen.

Mohair sweaters, shifts, knee socks, hair styles are only a few of the many fads that brighten up our halls.

Looking Glass day. Fashions reflect the multitudes of person¬ alities of the students; they also become the topic of many animated student conversa¬ tions. Fashions come and go as the seasons change and as the new generations create new ones of their own. They may change, but to the people who wore them, these fads and fashions will bring back vivid memories of enjoyable times. Candy Krajewski, Sharon Herman, and Linda O ' Dell proudly dis¬ play their Dyer Central sweatshirts on Sweatshirt Day. Linda McDonald wears her shift jumper . .another new and fascinating fashion. Moments To Remember The special times, the dating times are a time for two — only two. Together we chat over a coke, con¬ verse at our locker, or enjoy each other ' s company at lunch hour. To¬ gether we view the blazing Home¬ coming bonfire, stroll hand in hand as another school day comes to a close. Together we move quietly to the soft strains of music, and bring a dreamy evening to a close with a tender kiss. . .then good night. Shadows Clubs Twice a day at approximately the same time, a sonorous voice booms over the P.A. system, informing one and all about the extra¬ cur ricular activities. Students listen with varied responses as club information pours from the speaker. What club is it? ' ' What time was that? ' Where does it meet? This club data and the P.A. system are inseparable. Clubs make the P.A. system an integral part of their planning, organization, and activities. Who can forget the rush announcement - The cor¬ rected error - The announcement that wasn’t made - The bizarre skits - The vague an¬ nouncements. These phases of club functions are shadows reflecting the immensity of our total club program. Clubs at Dyer Central play an important part in the extra-curricular activities of both students and teachers. These organizations create interest and enthusiasm. No successful school is all work and no play, and our extra-curricular activities are a very important part of our school lives. The shadow cast by our clubs reflects the close association of people with the same interests. The Dyer Central clubs not only carry out charitable activities, and raise money, but promote school spirit. Posters and pictures in the halls are evi¬ dence of the various activities performed by the clubs. Bake sales and other such sales pro¬ vide money for the club treasuries. Despite the struggle and turmoil, club sponsors find a rich satisfaction in supervising the club. Spon¬ sors encourage every member of the club to participate in the activities, because the activ¬ ities are not only for the members but by them. The success of the club is up to each and every member. Organizations can be the entire high school career and still be a waste of time, or they can be only a portion of your valuably apportioned time and still have a full rewarding effect. The shadow of your club life may be a rewarding one with your effort. The Advertising and Business Editors, Nora Duncan, Bob Spi- nozzi. Gene Autry, and Allen Armstrong, work diligently to raise funds for the yearbook. Echo Meets Before work can be done on any publication, staff members learn how to write interesting and factual copy, and be able to plan effective and eyecatching layouts. This year the Echo staff worked diligently to put out a good yearbook and to meet their dead¬ lines on time. Cropping pictures, making layout sheets, writing copy, and typing keep the layout staff very active. Mr. Robertson, Sponsor, Sharon Fauser, asst. Editor, Mike Muenich, Ed¬ itor, and Rich Devine, Sports Editor, discuss importance of good lay¬ outs and copies. The Little Men provided an extra attraction which ended the Echo-Kick-Of f with a Bang. WHO ' s THIS , is an expression once can hear frequently in the Echo room. Deadline Proofreading and final checking always rest with the asst. Editor and Editor. Their jobs don ' t stop there; they also write copy and assist others with their layouts and any questions they might have. This year the staff boosted their Echo Sub¬ scription Drive by having an Echo Kick-Off. The Kick-Off, a minstrel show, provided entertainment and a hope for incentive to buy an ECHO. The Layout staff, Marlene Anderson, Mary Kay Yuknis, Cheryl Anderson, Dayle Toth, Cindy Smith, and Ruth Hughes, eagerly work to have their pages in on time to meet the deadlines. Nero Minstrel.This was the main theme of the Echo Kick- Off. Did you buy your Echo? Two unintelligent southern gentlemen discussed plans to buy their yearbook during the Echo Kick-Off. Co met Strives For Excellence Discussing a recent issue of the Comet are Miss Anderson and Sharon Putz, while Pam Krajewski searches for a back issue. Dennis Gilliam and Ken Kelsey ponder an editorial, os Joy Eastwood takes notes. Formulating a headline for page one are Beverly Piepho and Barb Bucha. Laurel Vicari, Sandy Ramsey, John Sedlacek, and Alice Peifer, business staff of the Comet, search for methods of increased circulation. The Comet staff worked hard throughout the year to achieve their goal—interesting publications. They used their imagination constantly to improve the paper. By always being aware of any new or unusual happening at school, many interesting articles were formed and developed by the creative minds of these people. Through Hard Work Jim Cleair and Bob O ' Dell, sports editors, write interesting copy for a recent game. One of their greatest enigmas was a financial difficulty, which was skillfully remedied by the busi¬ ness staff. Under the capable leadership of Miss And¬ erson, the 63- ' 64 year proved to be a very successful and satisfying one for the Comet staff. Fervently writing copy for a page two layout are Mary Laskey, and Barb Thiery. Nancy Todd and Joanne Henry are also working on a layout for page three of the Comet. - 49 - Athletes Qualify Standing: R. Ochs, M. Muenich, R. Devine, L. Myers, A. Keilman J. Banks, R. Kenniger.

The cheerleaders and pep club worked together to boast school and team spirit. Despite a losing season, the pep club members never quit support¬ ing their team. These girls were at each game, urging the boys on to victory. The pep club officers were Alice Peifer, pres¬ ident; Wanda Kerns, secretary; and Penny Han- rath, treasurer. The officers and the cheerleaders worked shoulder to shoulder to encourage our team on the football field and the basketball floor and symbolized the spirit of Dyer Central to all fans. Pep!

The Sportsmen s Club, which has enjoyed another very suc¬ cessful hunting season, is looking forward again to its annual trek into Canada. This canoe trip is the climactic point in the year for the sportsmen. The many Canadian lakes are a para¬ dise for the fishermen in the club. The Club encourages its members to practice sportsman¬ ship and conservation. The members are taught to use firearms safely. The Sportsen ' s Club helps build the character of the stu¬ dents at Dyer. Sportsmen And Industrial Arts Promote Safety The Industrial Arts Club provides an ex¬ cellent opportunity for students with an inter¬ est in the industrial arts to further their activ¬ ity in that field. The Club promotes safety in the shop and the correct use of all machines and tools. Each year the Club sponsors a trip to an industry or plant in the region. Its members are exposed to different types of occupations which may interest them. ■ — BL Jjp rJrlrMfe nr Lri Ml SB ? T Bottom row: Mr. Milby (Sponsor), P. Jostes, R. Ochs, P.

Mr. Hoffman is known and respected by everyone. He is present at all of our extra curricular activities and maintains order. One of the familiar fig¬ ures to every person at Dyer Central is Mr. Henry Kaiser. He has been di¬ recting traffic for many years, and has proven an invaluable safety pre¬ caution. Fritz Jung has been a janitor for many years. He fulfills his duty throughout the day with many odd jobs. Frequently the people who are essential to the maintenance and functioning of a school are not included in a yearbook. With¬ out these people, the efficiency and produc¬ tivity of a school day would cease. Our bus drivers, cooks, janitors, and police are the in¬ tricate parts of our school system that make the complete machine able to perform. Taking money everyday, and issuing weekly lunch tickets are only two of the many jobs that Mrs. Carnahan does. Here Gloria Siedelman is handing her money for a lunch. Everyday the students, faculty, and visitors are served de¬ licious meals prepared by our cooks. From left to right they are, Mrs. Cathey, Mrs. Dinges, and Mrs. Ivy. The Girls’ Athletic Association is an active club that strives for physical fitness. The Members are invited to swim during the winter months. They also bowl during the winter. At regular meetings the trampoline, parallel bars, horse, and other gym equipment can be used by the G.A.A. ' ers. Baseball is also a favorite of the mem¬ bers. During the course of a year practically every pop¬ ular sport in the United States is played by the girls.

Dayle Toth, one of the Senior FTA members, was the editor of the FTA newspaper The BlackboardShe has at¬ tended many meetings at Indianapolis. She has worked very hard to make the Blackboard more successful then ever before. The Future Teachers of America is an organi¬ zation which gives students who are interested in the teaching field the opportunity to understand the teaching profession. The students, by helping teachers grade papers, learn the techniques of teaching. This is the first year the FTA has been an active club. The FTA members presented $50 to the Roscoe Protsman school for a globe. They also pre¬ sented a scholarship to the Senior in FTA who showed the most interest in the club activities and who plans to go into the teaching field. During the year, the FTA sponsors coat checks at home basketball games and dances, bake sales through¬ out the year, and a rousing book fair. One of the outstanding services the Teachers Tea, took place in May. A corsage was given to the teachers to wear during the day. Top Row: S. Richardso n, T. Stark, L. O’Dell, G. Vicari, J.

In the last five years a “Drama Club has been formed for the purpose of providing skits, plays, and other entertain¬ ment for the student body and faculty. This is not the com¬ plete purpose of the club, however. The members learn make¬ up techniques, as well as general stage tricks for producing a play. This year the club has seen a great increase in its membership. Both a Junior and Senior play are given by the Drama Club. As the club has grown and prospered in the past, it has hopes of continuing to grow and prosper in the future. This is a scene from the Christmas play that was given by the drama club. Pictured are Nora Duncan and Dave Rojahn. - 64 - The Drama Club officers discuss the senior play during noon. Officers from left to right are Mike Muenich, V.

Last year, members participated in several chess matches with other schools and did ex¬ ceptionally well. This year the Gambits are contining their success in interschool competition. Also this year the club sponsored an interschool chess tournament. The Club stimulated interest in chess and in the club by the tournament.The Science Club sponsors the annual science fair each year. This is a large project for the club to sponsor because many students participate in the fair, and the preparations for the fair are endless. The members of this club are interested in scientific learning and techniques used by professional men and women. The Science Club has grown and has prospered in the past, and we will probably see many new advancements in the club in future years.

Since then, German has been added to the school curriculum. Each year these three clubs expand by offering interesting and un¬ usual activities. The German Club presented a Christmas play for students, teachers, and parents. The Spanish Club visited the Museum of Science and Industry to see an exhibit of Christmas customs of foreign countries; viewed a stage show of Mexican Christmas customs; and also stayed for a Mexican dinner which was served after the performance. The Latin Club had a toga ' ' banquet in the gym, which proved to be an immense suc¬ cess. The language clubs continue to serve the interest of their members. Jim Miel and Susan Adley portrayed Mary and Joseph in the Ger¬ man Club Christmas play. Working on the Constitution for the Journalism club are Ken Kel¬ sey, Toni Clark, Randy Ferguson, Laural Vicari, John Sedlacek, Wanda Kerns, and Lori Lisczak. The Journalism Club is a new addition to Dyer. Like all new clubs, their first task was the formu¬ lation of a Constitution. This club has been organ¬ ized for the many people at Dyer who have a flair for writing or would like to develop their literary talents. Much of the time, individuals who enjoy reading and writing have no way of releasing their thoughts and ideas; but by the birth of the Journa¬ lism Club, many of these entities will now be re¬ cognized, that were previously ignored. To publish a pamphlet of the writings of the students of Dyer is one of the main ideas of the club. In this way, the club promises to raise money and also grow to be one of the foremost clubs in our extracurricular activities program. Journalism Club Focuses On Writing Ability Seated on Floor: K.

The Art Club, under the direction of Mrs. Smith, sponsors many activities. Each mem¬ ber strives for a better understanding of Art. To become a member of the Art Club, a stu¬ dent must submit a poster with lettering or pictures. The officers and sponsor then inform these students of their acceptance into the club. Familar sights around the school are the beautifully constructed posters. As their an¬ nual service project, the members of the Art Club fill Easter baskets with candy, Easter eggs, and trinkets. These baskets are then taken to the orphanage. Students Explore The Art Club from left to right.

This year, as in other years, the Student Council had worked toward the improvement of our school through social activities and well-enforced policies. A Student Council mem¬ ber must have a C average and must have had the recommendations of three teachers. Five members are selected from each class to give the student body an equal voice in the formulation of school policies. As their an¬ nual money making project, a movie was shown.

The selections are made by the principal, counselors and faculty. They are judged on scholarship, leadership, service, and citizenship. The main activities for the year were the slave sale in conjunc¬ tion with the Future Teachers Association, a dance, and the selling of taffy apples during the lunch hours. With money made from these activities, a scholarship is given to one of the Honor Society students. Nora Duncan masters the art of selling taffy apples for the Honor Society. - 73 - Shadows . Sports The Participants have left the locker room, soon to return. In the now silent dressing room, the hush of quietness is pervaded by the ghosts of past players, teams, and deeds-now faded into the shadows of yesteryear. These poignant memories of yester¬ day’s heroes will recede into the shadows and give precedence to the experiences of tonight-experiences that will become the memories of to¬ morrow. . .shadows of victory, spec¬ ters, of defeat, joy, optimism, sadness, the rancid odor of sweat, shouts, voices, weighted silences, pep talks, injuries, tape, confusion-all these and many more will form tomorrow ' s shadows. It is here in the locker room that strategy is laid, uniforms issued, equipment checked and rechecked- the infinite regularities that occur year after year. The only change is the teams-each leaving its individual record, heroes, memories. . .shadows for the future. New Coach And New Ideas Come To Coach Al Pilarcik watches the game closely as he keeps an eye open for defensive mistakes. - 76 - Indian Squad August 15 is a date well known to all high school football participants and coaches. This is the first official day for football practice in the state of Indiana. This year some fifty boys report¬ ed for the two a day practices with the hope of earning a starting position on the varsity squad. Also reporting the first day was a new head coach, John Tennant. Mr. Tennant, line coach the previous year, took over from the ailing Carl Yates who was unable to resume his duties as head coach because of a back ailment. Back as assistant coaches were Ed Robertson, line coach, and Mat Gorsich, back- field coach. Also joining the 63 staff for the first time was Al Pilarcik, who worked with the offen¬ sive and defensive backfields. Along with the new coaching staff came new ideas and changes. Dyer has long been known as a single-wing team, but this year, the Indians shifted to the T-formation in hopes of utilizing its talent in a more effective way. Another innovation was new to the practice rou¬ tine, also. The squad began using isometric con¬ tractions in order to increase their strength and en¬ durance. Head Coach John Tennant surveys the battle in hopes of coming across a winning strategy. 1963 Gridders: (Front row, left to right) L. Bibich, G. Klee, L. Stutler, R. Schulte, L. Darnell, R. Kelly, G.

Indians Suffer 1 -8-1 Season Randy Ferguson sweeps the end for a long gain against Grif¬ fith. Below Jim Cleair moves in for tackle on Hammond Gavit ball carrier. The Calumet Conference was for the first year divided into two sections. The two sections were the East and the West divisions; Dyer being in the Western half. Because of this, the Indians failed to meet all the conference teams. Instead, the sched¬ ule matched the Indians against Hammond Gavit and a powerful Lebanon team. Lebanon downed the Indians in the season opener, 49-0. In the next two weeks,the Indians dropped a hard fought game to Highland, 6-0, and then were downed by East Gary, 28-6. The East Gary game was featured by an 85 yard kick-off return by Randy Ferguson for the Indian tally, but the Indian defense faltered-, in the second half and the game fell out of reach. Against Crown Point, the Indians battled to a 6-6 tie until the closing minutes. With twenty seconds left, the Bulldogs turned an Indian fumble into a touchdown and victory 13-6. After this heart-break¬ ing loss, the Indians dropped their next two outings to Lowell, 27-7, and Hammond Gavit, 26-6. Indian defense moves in to stop ball carrier. Drew Furuness (55) is helped by Ron Kelly (30) and unidentified tackier. With the approach of Homecoming, the In¬ dians stood 0-6. But the Indians, incensed with the thought of victory and spirited by homecoming fes¬ tivities, were too much for the Gary Wirt team. The Indians, with a goal-line stand in the closing sec¬ onds, eked out a 7-6 victory. In the next two games, the Indians lost to Griffith, 27-0, and Merrillville, 46-6. In the playoff game, Dyer played Gary Edi¬ son of the Eastern division. The game ended in a 0-0 tie with the Indians finishing in a tie for elev¬ enth place in the conference standings. The players may not be in the thick of the action, but their hearts are still in the game.

(third This year ' s team featured Senior stalwarts at most positions. The Indian attack was led by Randy Ferguson at quarterback. His passing and running posed a serious threat to Indian opponents. The most elusive, explosive runner in the backfield was Greg Cashman at halfback, while Roger Parsons and Larry Stutler shared fullback duties. Parson did the punting and booted out several long punts in key situations. Underclassmen who saw considerable action were Ron Kelly, Mike Hensley, and Jerry Klee. Two Sophomore quarterbacks who showed considerable promise in relieving Ferguson are Ron Schulte and Greg Stone. Dyer’s offensive punch was considerably hampered by the loss of Bruce Kilander. As a Freshman last year, Bruce was the workhorse of the team; he saw only limited action during the ' 63 season due to injuries. Line play was a high point of the team’s strength. Led by Ralph Ochs, second string all con¬ ference tackle, the Indians had the size and exper¬ ience which good teams are built around. Seniors Jim Cleair at guard and Larry Moriarty, John Banks, and Mel Piepho will be hard to replace next year. Underclassmen who gave the team balanced strength were Paul Apple, Don Funderlic, and Ed Powell. The Indians had Seniors Rich Kenniger, Mike Barsosky, and Rich Devine, along with two juniors, Bruce Mokate and Frank Guess, sharing the end positions.

The team comes on the floor running through the traditional hoop. The boys practice their shooting and run through drills to loosen their muscles. With the center jump, the game begins. Dyer Central ' s cagers suffered a dismal 1963- 64 season, but the record tells only half the story. The season was filled with many highlights, wit¬ nessed by the fact that the Indians lost 8 out of their 18 losses by less than six points. The two victories were both closely fought battles. Coach Robertson had the difficulty of main¬ taining a starting line-up due to injuries and illness. Starting positions were held by as many as ten dif¬ ferent players and everyone saw considerable ac¬ tion. The Indians opened the season with a well- fought game against Demotte, failing to win by only one point in over-time. A pair of disappoint¬ ing losses to Gary Edison and Griffith followed. Dyer rebounded and fell to Portage in a tight con¬ test by only six points; and, after leading East Gary for three quarters in the holiday tourney, fell 69- 62. The holiday tourney at Andrean was another source of discomfort to the Indians where they lost both games. Indians Plummet To After losing to Thornton Fractional North at the start of the new year, the Indians began to pick up. Lowell, on a disputed basket, slipped by Dyer by only two points, 69-67. Then the Indians battled Crown Point, a strong team in the area, dropping the decision, 71-66. The Indians had been playing good ball and the break-through finally came at East Gary. The first victory was celebrated, 79-76. Several weeks later, victory number two came against Gary Wirt, 64-60. The Indians finished 2-18 for the season and in a tie for tenth in the Calumet Conference with a 2- 9 record. The Junior Varsity, under Assistant Coach Peyton, finished the year at 11-9, while the fresh¬ men finished 5-7 under Coach Pilarcik. The action runs fast and furious as the boys bat¬ tle hard during the first half. Half-time is a needed rest where strategy is plot¬ ted and defenses straightened out. 1964 team members are: (left to right) L. Herrman, C. Vinson, M. Barsosky, R. Devine, J. Ranta, D. Zavesky, R.

The Indians grabbed an early lead from a strong Noll quintet, but were unable to hold on and saw the game slip away, 76-71. Five Seniors dotted the twelve man squad this year, four of whom were two year lettermen. Rich Kenniger, an all-around good performer; Randy Ferguson, top scoring threat; and Mike Barsosky, a rugged rebounder, shared duties at the forward spots. Rich Devine, a guard- forward and leader in scoring averages; and Wayne Shupp, playing his first year of varsity, worked in the back court. Leading the returning talent next year will be Charles Vinson a junior who led in total points scor¬ ed this year.

Gropplers Eighth In Conference Of the many athletic contests in high school, wrestling has to be listed as one of the most de¬ manding. It is a body contact sport which pits the strength, endurance, and agility of two athletes against each other. Bill Wilson a junior who wrestles in the 127 lb. weight class captured a first place in the Indiana Sectionals to prove his skill in this sport. Terry Carnahan, Tom Svast, and Dan Reese captured second, third, and fourth re¬ spectively in their weight classes. Adding up the team points the Indians finished seventh in the seven team Sectional. Coach Rodehorst looks ready for action himself as he encourages one of his wrestlers to victory. 180 lb. Bob Pearson strains to hold his opponent during match with Gary Roosevelt. Larry Myers has the advantage over his opponent in what turned out to be victory for him. The Calumet Conference standings is not determined through dual meets but is settled entirely on one Saturday afternoon. In the conference wrestle-off the Indians finished in eighth place with Tom Svast taking second at 138 lbs. and Bob Pearson taking fourth at 180 lbs. in individual honors. For the season the grapplers finished 4-9-1 with wins over Gavit, Highland, East Gary, and Adrean. Bob Roe waits for the signal to wrestle from the referee.

Golf Team Bolstered By Six Lettermen Dyer Central ' s golf team has long established itself as one of the top teams in the area, and last year was no exception. Under the guidance of coach Jaconetti, the Indians have won the Confer¬ ence title for five of the last seven seasons. The Indians finished second in the conference last year and ended up, 26-11, for the season with a confer¬ ence record of 7-2. Jerry Curtis, Dyer ' s top golfer, qualified for the state finals by shooting a 75 in the Sectionals. The Indians lost only two lettermen and have six returning to frustrate various op¬ ponents again this year. The lettermen include Sen¬ iors Jerry Curtis and Al Keilman, juniors Ron Kelly and Bob Roe, and sophomores Joe Bibich and Chuck Curtis. - 88 Junior Bob Roe watches his drive soar long and straight down the fairway. Chuck Curtis, who lettered in his freshman year, lines up a putt on the tricky Lake Hills greens. Jerry Curtis, first man on this year ' s golf team, has lettered four years under Coach Iaconetti. Last year he averaged 39.9 strokes per nine holes in matches. In the Sectionals he shot a 34-41-75, which tied two school records, and qualified him for the state finals where he shot an 81. Desire Earmarks Coach Al Pilarcik, starting his second year at Dyers, is building a young strong team. Last year, with basically a Frosh-Soph team, the Indians fin¬ ished sixth in the conference with a record of 6-5 and 7 7 overall. The Indians lost five lettermen because of graduation, but have seven lettermen returning to bolster a team which will be a strong contender in the conference race. The pitching staff was hard¬ est hit with the loss of two starters, Phil Govert and Joe Britton. The only returning letterman on the mound staff will be Senior Rich Devine. Two other pitchers who will be relied on heavily are Junior Bob Gerlach and Sophomore Bob Keilman. The Indians started out by losing the first game of the season in the Griffith Invitational Tourney to Calumet. Starting the regular season the Indians defeated Hammond Tech, then dropped their next four games. But the fighting Indians came on strong from the middle of the season with six wins to two defeats. Against Griffith, the Indians scored four runs with two outs in the final inning for a come-from-behind victory 7-6. Against Chesterton, the Indians battled to an eleven inning tie before the game was called because of darkness. The game was replayed with the Indians outlasting Chesterton 7-6 and knocking them out of a tie for the Conference championship. The young Indians suffered from a lack of ex¬ perience but made up for it with hustle and desire. By never giving up, the Indians turned defeat into victory at times when things looked hopeless. It is because of this desire that Coach Pilarcik is antici¬ pating a successful year. Youthful Indians Junior Charles Vinson is waved around third to score by Coach Pilarcik.

Although the team points are added up, It’s the individuals who excel. Dyer’s track team has its individuals who have advanced along the road of success and who have conditioned them¬ selves to meet the challenge of competition. Randy Ferguson and Rich Kenniger, two Senior sprinters, hold several school records and will be two top point-getters in the ' 64 season. The Indians also have the distance running of Senior John Schilling, who is out to break Dyer’s mile record this spring. Jim Senzig, top hurdler of the Indians, will be striv¬ ing to improve his time and to help the team to a winning season. Coach John Tennant, with his new assistant Tom Peyton, have eight returning Letter- men to work with. Each year the Indians have been getting better in this demanding sport and they will be working hard to improve their 1-7 season re¬ cord, their 8th place finish in the 12 team Calumet Conference, and their 6th place finish in the 26 team Hammond Sectional.

Performances Stressed Senior John Schilling and Junior Tom Delinck run one-two in the grueling mile Harriers Led By New Coach John Schilling shows the determination needed to last a two mile run. Dyer Central’s cross-country team suffered a disappointing season under new coach Tom Pey¬ ton. Mr. Peyton coached baskeball and track at Kahler school last year and this year took over the coaching duties of Mr. Paul Hayes in cross-country. Coach Peyton built a young team around his three returning Senior lettermen but to no avail. The har¬ riers finished twenty-fourth out of twenty-five teams in the Sectional meet at Hobart and finished last in the Conference race. Next year, with seven re¬ turning lettermen, the Indians promise to improve their record. The cross-country team members are: (bottom row, left to right) H. Edwards, L. Herrman, G. Petzinger, E.

Intramural Activities Fill Noon Hours With the longer lunch hour, many students were at a loss as to where to spend their time. This wasn ' t true for some seventy-five boys, though, who sacrificed eating to play intramural basketball. Under the able direction of Mr. Larry Ruff, nine teams entered into battle during two lunch periods. In the fourth hour the Mets, a junior team, slipped by the Zephers, a senior team, for first place. Dduring the fifth hour, Senior 1 came in first over the Junior Tall Men plus One team and won the chance to meet the fourth hour winners for the championship. In the championship game, Senior 1 proved too tough for the Mets as they walked off with a 69-34 victory. Senior 1 then met the faculty all-stars during a school assembly. After a hard fought game, Senior 1 edged the teachers in over-time, 31-27.

People School is more than mortar and brick. . . more than a vast expanse of thick, shiny plate glass. . .more than a maze of long corridors . . .more than a flag waving gently in the breeze. A school is people-over one thousand people-who trudge lazily into the building each day to add vitality, hope, dreams, and aspirations to a lifeless hulk. Each student is alone, and yet each is a part of the unique throng; each is distinctive, yet each blends into the stream and surge of life; each pro¬ jects an image, a figure of self-expression, real and yet illusory; fixed, but yet adaptive. Every day is filled with the toil, the strife, and the buoyant optimism of intrepid youth-stu¬ dents. Today ' s friends are tomorrow ' s strang¬ ers. . .yesterday ' s depression is today ' s exu¬ berance. . .yesterday’s frown is today ' s smile. Within these walls we work-play-laugh- talk-and await the tomorrow which relieves us of the endless profusion of books and assignments. Within these walls, we gain stature and importance. . .we fuse in body and spirit to give our school personality. . .we create a public image by which our school is collectively known. As water gives life to a rose, so do we, as students, give life and sub¬ stance to our school. Day after day, month after month, year after year, these people which are now so imbued with life fade into the shadows of to¬ morrow and are gone. Who is this faceless anonymity which once occupied the center stage and gave school a meaning? On these pages are the people-the students-whose names and pictures are recorded lest we for¬ get when our memories become hazy. Then, we can relive 1963-1964, and recall the gaiety, the anxiety, and the teeming mass which shar¬ ed it with us. Sam Mayhugh, sponsor of the class of 1964, has been a great asset to the smooth functioning of the class. When the class of ' 64 were Freshmen, graduation was a remote idea. Even as Sophomores, to finally reach your twelfth year of school was a very distant dream. Junior year arrived and the dream began to take on the appearance of reality. Now, here we are, Seniors, the remote idea has grown into a remote and very near thing. We can now look back to our first year of high school with very little remorse. But then, the turmoil of adjusting to school life,- adjusting to the social intercourse which must take place in every student ' s life to be a well-balanced individual- adjusting to a strict observance of school rules and discipline, which we had not been accustomed to in elementary school- adjusting to all of these and many more customs and traditions which had been built up through the years by students just like ourselves, seemed to be more than we young and naive Fresh¬ men could handle. As Sophomores, the task of adjusting was not quite so for¬ midable as it had been when we were Freshmen. Sophomore year was one of work rather than one of enjoyment and plea¬ sure. We were merely nonentities, while a great throng of people moved around us. Cheryl Anderson Honor Society 3, 4; Y-Teens 3, 4 ; F.T.A. 4; Pep Club 1, 2, 3, 4 ; M.P.C. I, 2; Office Assistant 4; Echo 4 (layout); NEDT Cert. 2; German Club 2, 3; Sunshine Society 1, 2. - 98 - Finally, as Junior year arrived, we began to rea¬ lize what role we were playing in this drama. We enjoyed discovering new plateaus, filled with new and different thoughts and ideas. We reacted with joy to the adventure of meeting new people and se e¬ ing new faces. It was as if we had been like a great many rosebuds, all waiting their turn to open their petals and see life as it really is, and not as we had always heard it to be. In a sense, we have something in common with Freshmen. As they are experiencing something new, so are we, as Seniors, going into a new field. How¬ ever, this field will cause us to take on a great deal of responsibility. It will be the decisive point in the molding of our character; It will lead us into a great many and varied facets of capabilities and under¬ standing; But most of all, it will be the last step that we shall take as a group, for from now on all of our decisions will be made as an individual.

They received the first place trophy for the most enthusiastic and original cheer. In conjunc¬ tion with their innumerable activities, the Juniors also sponsored a football game between the Junior girls and the Junior boys. Raising funds is always the goal of the Junior class in anticipation of the major activity—the Junior -Senior Prom.

With the shadows of the past year behind them, the sophomores look back on their preceding year with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Perhaps the most outstanding moment throughout their sophomore year was the receiving of their class sweaters. The sopho¬ mores proved to be an extremely active class in many varied activities. Whether it was sports, intramurals, achievement awards, or class participation, they always showed an endless degree of school spirit. They are now looking forward to their junior year with its many activities and responsibilities. They are especially looking forward to the selection and receiv¬ ing of their junior class rings, and the preparation of the junior-senior prom. The sophomore class shows great promise of be¬ ing another outstanding class that will add to the sta¬ tus of Dyer Central.

They came; they saw; they were awe-stricken by the immen¬ sity of their new school life. New teachers challenged them; corridor traffic befuddled them; locker combina¬ tions frustrated them; school work plagued them. The Freshman, however, rallied from the brink of confu¬ sion. They came on gloriously to join the upper-classmen in the various school activities. To lead them through these activities, they have chosen four capable officers who will work along with the class sponsor Mr. Koets. Their remaining years of high school show a promise of success for the future.

Shadows. Advertising the lifeblood of business, the pulse of free enterprise. Advertising is the chief method of informing consumers of a product. It is a necessary function in our eco¬ nomic system. It forms the bridge be¬ tween production and consumption. Through this media, people are ac¬ quainted with the excellence of mer¬ chandise. Advertising is a creative art. It takes much thought, ' concentration, and cleverness to appeal to great masses of people. Advertising has played such an important part in our daily lives that we take it as a matter of course. Most people are so well conditioned that they can recite any slogan, sing any jingle, or recognize any silhouette of a common trademark. Advertising makes big business possible.
