1966 ECHO Volume XXVII Dyer Central High School Dyer, ■ Indiana LAKE COU§TY PU LtCUB AJtY Dedication We, the 1966 Echo staff, dedicate this book to you Dyer Central High School, in appreciation for the nine years you have served as our home away from home, the site of our activities, and the stage for our growing maturity. We have not been here long, but long enough to wear down the stairs a little, scuff the floors, and fill you with a wealth of memories. Now, although we have outgrown you and will move on to bigger and more modern places and high schoolers will no longer fill your halls, we thank you for a job well done and for nine years of hard work . . . we will remember it always. ‘ ovfs l TI U I f s 1 WS1 f | ■ - M - ■ ■ . 11 Echoes of an Era In 1956 a sprawling brick building opened its doors to 500 students. An era began. It was the beginning of new traditions and new echoes. The first echoes were dim as Dyer stu¬ dents adjusted to their new surround¬ ings. As time went on these echoes grew louder and louder until they reached the deafening pitch of a suc¬ cessful high school. But now, ten years later, the echoes are beginning to fade. In ten years the classrooms have become too small, the halls too crowded. The population grew; the building couldn’t. Now our era is coming to a close as a new high school is nearing completion. Although the era is ending, the echo tradition will only grow stronger and prosper in the new school. It is not as though the echoes of the past were dying, rather they are being trans¬ ferred to another location. Even as the paint dries and the only sounds heard in the new fieldhouse are the men working, the echoes are growing stronger and louder. The echoes in the aging corridors of this school are becoming fainter. We are not sad, but rather, proud. For we, more than anyone else, will al¬ ways faintly hear in the past . . . the echoes of an era.

SCHOOL LIFE Echoes of school life are not confined to the class¬ rooms or athletic fields. They overflow into the garages where Homecoming floats are built and the basements where the gang meets for a post-game party. School life is one person cramming for a math test or a whole Junior class working on the Prom. It’s cutting up in the foyer at noon or Seniors marching Freshmen. It can also be the realization of the closeness of Viet Nam and the thought of leaving the security of high school after graduation. School life has echoed through the halls of DCHS in a never ending stream of student activity. Next year it will have a chance to pierce the silent corri¬ dors and new facilities in a new building, and new people may make those echoes, but they still will be ... school life. Sleepy mornings and lazy summer days gave Summertime . . . and the living is easy . . . Carefree yet troubled, Dyer Central stu¬ dents pass the summer in a mixed concoc¬ tion of both fun and work. The summer days end violently as a storm sweeps Lake County, and once again its time to get back to the books as the routine of school days begin. Books, books and more books came into sight as the summer faded away, and September brought such things as class schedules and school activities. and money for Senior Ron Loading up their locker for the school day a ford, Dana Rich, and Neal Stiemert. way to early rising and strenuous schedules. “Hurry up or you’ll be late for school” became a familiar saying heard as the school year started off for Wanda Decker. Walking up the hill to start morning classes are Seniors Mike Ander¬ son, Carol Vande Steeg, Larry Kozuch, Marilyn Snearly and Linda Czech. Off to begin a day of school is another happy student. School wasn’t all work as GTO’s, Hondas “Would you believe,” said Becky Griffin, “that when my car slid off the road, Mr. Jones sent out a rescue party!” Don Funderlic smiles proudly as he learns of his nomination to the All- Conference Football Team. All through our lives we are exposed to new experiences. School, shows, books, and our own personal experience adds to the influence of our personalities. People all around us, each having a specially molded personality, are unique individuals. No two people are alike. Yet, there are two sides to an individual. There is the sober, level-headed person, and the clownish, happy-type of person. There is a little of each in everyone. The purpose of these pages is to capture the experiences people are having because each of these experiences help to make these people stand out as individuals. Tom Miklik talks encouragingly to friends in the foyer while he waits for his bus. It seems that Cheryl Boiler has given up the french horn to lead the senior girls in their rousing “Senior Song”. 10 and rides through Blue Top became a must It looks like senior Tim Gibson is trying out for a part in the popular movie “The Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines”. Junior Terry Blaize keeps in step as she displays her “suitcase purse”; a popular fad this year. “Think young,” Bob Owens seems to say as he offers Sandy Tussey a sip of Pepsi. Girls added the total look, pierced ears Words such as “it’s a real machine” or “it really goes” were heard throughout the year from the car crazy guys. Would you believe that Hondas, pierced ears, the total look, and granny gowns were for the “in crowd” in 1966. Would you believe that teens still go for sharp cars, big motors, and end¬ less hours of circling local drive-ins. How about recalling 1966 the year of the Batman, 007, Sonny and Cher, and “The Green Beret”. A “real” motorcycle is ridden by Bob Sheaks. A night was not complete without a ride through Blue Top. to their faded madras and beat up loafers ,ve The Buit 0065 ?! 0f Bitter The fashion this year was the total look from head to toe. Keeping up with the latest style are Sophomores Sue Krol, Jane Teute- macher, and Sue Herman. Kathy Spragia models the long haired look. Does she or doesn’t she have holes in her ears? Only Cheryl Keller knows for sure. 13 Rain dampened everything but spirits as An unhappy little Tennant stands by his dad as the coach introduces the team at Homecoming. The lettermen “give it another try” as they build the second bonfire in two days. Phil Law, Tom Govert and Jay Arm¬ strong unloaded lumber most of the night. Sophomore float “Devils Gotta Go” captured first place in the annual Homecoming parade. 14 Cheerleaders Eileen Hero and Connie Lockhart peer into the traditional blazing bonfire. students attended final DCHS Homecoming. Parade prospects were dismal on the rainy afternoon preceding Thursday’s homecoming activities. Just before the parade the rain stopped and a rainbow, like a good omen, appeared to begin a wet but festive weekend. After the parade a tourchlight procession, innovated by the cheerleaders, wound its way to the bonfire site. This second bonfire burned more reluctantly than the one mysteriously touched off the night before. Friday evenings drizzle didn’t seem to dampen the spirits of the cheerleaders, the band, or the victorious team. Seniors Judy Scheidt and Bob Keilman reigned over the Lettermen’s dance, which con¬ cluded another year of homecoming festivities. Fireworks explode to signal a Dyer touchdown dur¬ ing the homecoming victory. Royal senior couple Judy Scheidt and Bob Keilman smile enthusiastically after their crowning. This homecoming poster, created by Pep Club members, reflects the Indians ' fighting spirit. Mid-day break affords welcome relief from Brian Orban takes time out during his lunch hour for a little Seniors Mary Beth Churilla and Phyllis Maggio take a extra study in the library. break from their duties in the bookstore. the hectic routine of a busy school day. Students with enough energy and money prefer to buy their lunches in town. Here Sharon Greichunos and Linda Templeton eat their lunches at Jo-Anns Restaurant. Intramural games occupy the time and energy for those who wish to participate. For those who prefer excercising, a walk to town for lunch is in order. In¬ tramural basketball games bring relief to “tensed up” students. Yes, days vary in the foyer from chat¬ tering friends, to bake sales, to buying National Honor Society taffy apples. There is never a dull moment, and everyone appreciates this welcome break. Noon hour is the time when students take a break from a hectic schedule of classes. It’s a time to relax, eat lunch, catch up on studies, and visit friends. A tour through the school at noon re¬ veals students hunched over their books frantically cramming for a sev¬ enth hour exam, utilizing their free time to catch up on the latest news, or merely talking with their friends. Of course, the Junior class coke bar affords those with grumbling stomachs, a sweet tooth, or just a want for some¬ thing “extra” with cokes, candy, and ice cream. Cheryl Boiler and Sharon Herman seem to prefer exercise to counting calories. 17 Classes and school problems give way to Bowling strikes the fancy of senior George Grafton, as Friday nights bring fun time and date time for Dyer students. When the 3:25 announcement dismisses school each day Dyer students are involved in a variety of outside projects. Some peo¬ ple don’t leave the building as their days are extended with athletic practice, club meetings, or detention. Others leave the building only to go to the library to finish up homework or term papers. For the lucky school’s end means time to relax, get together with the gang, or go out and have a good time. Then it’s back to school for another day. School’s out for Tom Hoffman. There’s time to relax before thoughts of school work will intrude again. Donating their time to volunteer work, seniors Kathy Kege- bein and Mary Edna Craven help out in the lab of a local hospital. 18 after school fun, work, and activities. What seems to be after school calisthenics is only ma¬ jorette practice as Dyer’s Centralettes Betty Neal, Patsy Stratten, Chris Shipley, and Kathy Spragia rehearse a new half time routine. Gaining work experience and extra spending money, senior Bill Herrman uses some of his after school hours helping out at a local service station. Evening finds faculty members Miss Julia Caudill, Miss Darlene Miller and Miss Juan¬ ita Hagen returning to school to take part in fun and fads at the Granny Dance. Mr. and Mrs. Keith Perry spend their evening as chaperones. Winter formal, Holiday Belles and Beaux Nancy Easley and Linda Troup are first in line for refreshments. Candy Krajewski and her escort Jim Benda look over dance programs. The formal was filled with many tender moments as this one shared by Eileen Hero and her escort. Johnny Nowland’s music is enjoyed by the many dancing couples. 20 started yuletide season As December 18 approached, every girl had her chance to ask her favorite fellow out for a special evening. Y-Teens selected “Holiday Belles and Beaux” for the theme. It was carried out in silver, blue, and burgundy decorations, highlighted with chandeliers. One of the most exciting moments was the crowning of the queen, senior Linda Czech, as she took her place on the silver bell throne. After more dancing to the music of Johnny Nowland, an enjoyable winter evening came to a close. Holiday decorations set the mood for the Y-Teen’s Winter Formal. at Dyer Central. Queen Linda Czech and her escort Eddie Powell smile after the crowning. Awaiting the selection of the queen are candidates Elaine Kerns, freshman; Kathy Spragia, sophomore; Sue Curtis, junior; and Linda Czech, senior. 21 Dreamy music and stately columns added to Glenn Peters, Jay Armstrong, Larry Ehnen, Don Miller, Joe Koph, and Kathy Connor work hard to make the setting for the prom a beautiful and enchanting one. In the year of 1965, memories of our American heri¬ tage were brought back and relived. The theme of “Southern Enchantment” proved a beautiful and enchanting one. For two months before the Prom, the Juniors planned diligently for financing and decora ting. The week before the Prom, all efforts were combined and everyone worked hard. The final outcome was a very beautiful patio, the foyer, with a large ballroom inside a colonial mansion, the gym. Refreshments of punch and chicken were served Andy Hill and Georgia Walters check their wraps before starting their memorable evening together in “Southern Enchantment.” 22 by butlers. Jan Kook provided the dreamy music that topped the evening off perfectly. Before the grand march, that tense and wonderful moment came when the king and queen were an¬ nounced. Tears of joy were wept by Glenna Fer¬ guson, senior, as the crown was placed on her head. Donna Austgen and Jay Armstrong, juniors, were selected as prince and princess. The evening was completed as the couples left for the post prom party, then returned wearily home after an evening to remember. Tom Long and Karen Ross relax and take in the beautiful results of the prom. the feeling of ‘Southern Enchantment’. The beautiful flower garden captured everyone’s attention. Here Linda Thomberry points out to Joe Herman one of the flowers she would like as a remembrance of the evening. Frank Guess and Glenna Ferguson were hailed as reigning king and queen of the ’65 prom. Jay Armstrong and Donna Austgen were chosen as prince and princess. After the prom Larry Ballentine takes off Linda Templeton’s shoes to rest awhile before going out to eat. Couples, Bob Fink and Boni Terry and Bob Cher and Kathy Kaluf, enjoy the delicious chicken and refreshing punch served by Terry Parker. Too much dancing left some of the girls with sore feet. Ann Pavell slips off her shoes while she listens to the dreamy music of the band. 23 As the school year draws to a close Dyer As the 1965 school year ended, students had to use their imaginations to picture a 53 acre sea of mud ever becoming a high school. Dreams have become reali¬ ties, though, as 53 teaching stations, a massive fieldhouse, an auditorium, and TV studios take shape. The spacious building and ultra-modern facilities will mean more diversified classes and ac¬ tivities. An auto shop, graphic arts de¬ partment, and a library with an outside reading patio are taking shape rapidly as other innovations advance through the planning stages. As the September 1966 target date approaches students at DCHS look for¬ ward to new experiences and opportuni¬ ties in new surroundings. Progress seemed slow as the three and one-half million dollar structure took shape. students anticipate their new surrounding A wide angle view of the new high school shows the sprawling fieldhouse, entrance, and academic wing. Workmen skillfully put together the small pieces of the giant jigsaw puz¬ zle which will form a modern educational plant. Echoes of... LEARNING The buzzing of a saw, fierce determination during a quiz, the sharp smell of something burning, the quizzical look as one tries to imitate a foreign sound, these are examples of learning in action at Dyer Central. Fulfilling its purpose as an institution of public in¬ struction, DCHS endeavors to prepare its students for the future. The school operates through a unique triangle. The community and the people in it pro¬ vide the building and the facilities, the school furnishes the teachers and the books, and the stu¬ dent must bring with him the will to learn. Soon a new building will be provided, and no doubt there will be new teachers and texts, but the human factor will remain the same . . . people coming to learn. Mr. Louis Cinko St. John Township Trustee Mr. Fred Jones Principal Mrs. Lela Howell Business Secretary School’s Hub Students needing passes to class, important visitors seeking directions, and college representatives flow into the general office in an ever-present stream daily. A great deal of cooperation is needed to make the central “brain” of the school run smoothly. Mr. Jones and Mr. Bibich can be seen consulting with their secretaries on correspond¬ ence matters, or with the school treasurer about finances. The counselors, too, depend on the efficient method used in the office to consult with students, check on class schedules, or write out passes. As the meeting place of faculty and administration, the office provides an integral, communicative link to the student body. The office, and the people in it, comprise the hub of life at Dyer Central. Mr. George Bibich, Supervising Principal Mr. Glenn Eberly, Ball State, B.S., Purdue, M.S.; counselor and sponsor of Student Council. Provides Motion for Business Mrs. Jean Wease, B.S., Muskingum College, M.S. Purdue; counselor. Mrs. Lorraine Moriarty Treasurer-Bookkeeper Mr. Lee Quinn, B.S., Indiana Universi¬ ty; English and literature. Mrs. Wanda Christenson, A.B., Marion College; English and literature. Mrs. Sandra Taylor, B.S., Indiana State; English, literature and freshmen class sponsor. Miss Miller gives Linda MacDonald some individual instructions on a junior English theme. From Hamlet to Holden English has been in the curriculum since the student entered school. Then, students learned the parts of speech and memorized countless rules of capitalization and punctuation. After entering high school, English criteria was a little different. Instead of reviewing parts of speech, teachers leaned towards writing, composing, speaking and reading. Students broadened their interest in books and were intro¬ duced to the classics. A deeper meaning and the message of the books were stressed. Writing skills were developed from numerous themes that were assigned. Never to be forgotten was the first time it was announced that the student had to give an impromptu speech in fr ont of class. The English language is rapidly becoming the accepted language of the world. Although this language has been spoken by the student as long as they have known, the uses and communications learned at Dyer will make more rounded individuals of the future. Mr. Edward Robertson, B.S., M.S., Indiana State; English, literature, varsity football and basketball coach. 30 English Classes Respond Mrs. Warren’s senior English class listens intently as she clarifies “Macbeth”. Mrs. Louise Warren, A.B. Millikin Uni¬ versity, M.A. University of Illinois; English, literature and FTA sponsor.

Mr. James Sanner, B.S., Wis- Mr. Ronald Graham, B.A., consin State University; physics. Franklin; chemistry, algebra and Junior Class sponsor. Questions of many different natures are probed in Dyer’s growing science de¬ partment. There the complex world of plants, animals and chemicals are brought to a level of understanding that can be interpreted by the students. The disect- ing of a frog and the study of photosyn¬ thesis may intrigue a biology student; while Advanced Biology classes tackle deeper, more complex fields of nature. The ever-challenging fields of chemistry and physics are studied by many upper¬ classmen bent on scientific careers. Advanced Biology students, Phil Law and Linda Dyar, examine a hamster for a damaged eardrum. 32 Mrs. Karon Bailey, B.A., Purdue University; ad¬ vanced algebra, advanced math, and majorettes. Mr. Edward Walters, B.S., Indiana State; plane ge¬ ometry. Senior Bob Keilman begins to graph a difficult problem in Advanced Math class. Mr. Serai Warren, B.A., Ne¬ braska State Teacher’s College, M.A., Columbia University, M.S., University of Illinois; general math, and Honor Society sponsor. Mr. Duane Koets, A.B., Olivet Nazarene College; geometry, al¬ gebra, sponsor of junior class and YFC. Modern Math Introduced Mathematics has taken on a new face in the world today. In like manner, math at Dyer has changed extensively over the past year. The department has decided to introduce the modern phase of the subject. Students have now forgotten about “adding this to that and dividing by two.” They now solve problems with sets, subsets, and new terminology. The freshmen and sophomores have taken this change in stride. The seniors and juniors, however, had considerable trouble switching from the traditional to the modem math. Mr. Kermit Kerns, B.S., In¬ diana State, M.S., Purdue Uni¬ versity; applied math, algebra, and athletic director. 33 Mr. Leo Bereolos, A.B.,M.S., Indiana Uni¬ versity; government and economics. Changing Times Effect As young Americans and future voters, Dyer Centralites face the challenge of learning about the past for the purpose of improving the future. By studying social studies, they are offered an opportunity to find out about our ever-changing world. Through courses such as world history and U. S. history, economics, and government, students gain an insight into the workings of our government and those of other ages and countries. Mr. Robert Mygrants, B.S., Indiana Uni¬ versity, M.S., Indiana State; U. S. History, sociology, head of social studies depart¬ ment, bus supervision. Jerry Smith finds location on map in U. S. History class as Mary Roebuck looks on. Mr. Carl Yates, B.S., St. Louis University; psychology and citizenship. 34 At times, attention focused elsewhere adds variety and humor to economics class. Students of Social Studies By knowing past events, we can better understand our position in the world today, and the stand we must take. Citizenship and sociol¬ ogy prepare the student for his role in society as a mature adult. The study of social sciences will equip him with the knowledge neces¬ sary for the future development of good citizens. The study of the world surrounding us provides an opportunity to realize that important events are fashioned by ordinary people, people like those at Dyer Central. Mr. Lee Paris, B.S., M.S., St. Joseph’s Col¬ lege; economics and U. S. History, senior class sponsor. Psychology teacher, Mr. Carl Yates, tests the extra sensory perception of Ken Spohn. Mr. Michael Brinkman, A.B., Indiana State; Latin, sponsor of Latin club and sophomore class. Mrs. Carol Sanner, B.A., Indiana State; Spanish, sponsor of Spanish club and Y-Teens. Mr. Jonas Kavaliunas, M.A., Vilnius University; German and sponsor of German club. Students Extend Interest to Other Lands Latin, Spanish and German are the three languages available to students at Dyer Central. Besides learning the language, customs, traditions, dress and living hab¬ its are studied. With the use of the lan¬ guage lab and records, students are more apt to get accustomed to speaking in a foreign tongue. Tape recorders have also proven to be valuable aid in helping teachers present their subject. Peggy Meyer, Terry Blaize, and Jerry Darnell are im¬ proving their enunciation of Spanish with the aid of a tape recorder. German-bom Judy Pataki shows familiar locations to classmate Linda O’Dell in second year German. 36 The library is a scene for much study. Here, Dave Frohnapple, Mick Smith, and Greg Stone attempt to do homework. Miss Kathy Arbuckle, B.S., M.A., Indiana Uni¬ versity; Librarian, sponsor of pep club and cheerleaders. Library.Home for Much Knowledge “I have three over-due books in my locker!” This is a phrase that is heard many times during the school year. Our library still manages to keep 8320 volumes in stock. Reference books, organized back-issue magazines and novels serve as invaluable sources of information when a term paper or report is due. Students crowd the library with passes from study halls, classes and during noon hours. It is the scene of many antics and expressions of knowledge. Before the en¬ tire stay in the library is completed, one can hear the familiar voice of Miss Arbuckle: “Put your library materials away.” Then on gain the room waits to be filled with students — some studious, some talkative —but all a part of Dyer’s curriculum. Mrs. Elder, the library’s clerical assistant, can often be seen helping a student find a book, doing office work, or trying to maintain silence in the library. Ray Thilmont and Ken Robinson take the op¬ portunity to read the latest magazines. 37 Pupils Prepare for Future JpT til%. «.; . ' . Vlr. Buren Hooper, B.S., M.S.

Dyer Central’s business de¬ partment has ably met the challenge of providing students with an adequate background in business. Classes such as general business, law, and sales are taught to fit the needs of not only the business-minded student, but also those who wish to pursue other professions. Typing, shorthand, and office practice provide future secretaries with the skill needed to secure a position upon graduation. Whether one plans to go directly to work or on to a business school or college, the business student can be assured that the background he or she receives at Dyer Central will prove a great advantage. By intensive practice. Barb Britton masters the skill of typing. Mr. Noble Baker, B.S., Northern Illi¬ nois; general business, law and sales. Mr. Donald Binole, B.S., Indiana State; typing, shorthand and commercial club sponsor. Mrs. Evamae Bibich, B.S., Indiana State; shorthand and office practice. Shop Classes Use “Who took my sandpaper block?” “Watch out for sparks!” These are comments heard often in the Industrial Education department. By developing skill through practice, boys in Industrial Arts classes prepare for careers as draftsmen, carpenters, and construction work¬ ers. From the first door knocker made in metal shop to the first proj¬ ect made in wood shop, boys seem to learn an ever-increasing amount of knowledge in the vocational field they choose. Cooperation is needed on any job, and in the shop classes students learn to cooperate, take advice, and learn from the experiences of others. These factors contribute to success not only on the job, but in everyday life itself. Mr. Russel Tomjanovich, B.S. Wiscon¬ sin State; wood and metal shop. Mike Osborn and Dave Heroux face on the milling machine in order to complete their project. Jack Benko, working on the lathe, is putting final touches on his metal project. Mr. John Linley, B.S.

Exercise-Essential to Health The routine of changing, activity, showering and dressing is characterized by all gym classes. This required course offers the students many varied activities. Some of these are trampoline, badminton, volleyball, soccer, basketball and other sports. Exer¬ cise also plays an important part in the physical fitness program at Dyer. In the closely related health classes, one studies the muscles, bones and organs by charts, films, and posters. Just as it is neces¬ sary to keep the body in good physical shape, it is just as important to stimulate the mind to proper living habits. Carrying through with the Christmas spirit, Ramone Grisham, Ron Krol, and Ivan Loar make decorative paper mache figures in art class. Creative Ideas Develop in Art Classes Creativity and color are brought into the schedule of many Dyer Cen¬ tral students who have art. Beginning art classes get acquainted with basic elements of art through various activities such as: design, poster layout, and ceramics, then complete the year with fine arts drawing and painting. Advanced classes in art work with graphics, blocking, silk screen, and string prints. By this creative activity, students acquire a functional use of art knowledge.

Or, is the interest of Ken and Don Thiel, Tom Hoffman and Dave Biro directed mainly to eating the re¬ sults of their efforts? Mrs. Barbara Blankenship, B.S., Indi¬ ana State; home economics and spon¬ sor of Home Economics Club. Home Ec Students Learn by Doing The field of home economics offers a variety of courses such as foods, clothing, home nursing, tailoring, family living, and home management. By putting practical knowl¬ edge to use, home economic students pre¬ pare for roles as future mothers, homemak¬ ers, and wives. They also can receive prep¬ aration to make a career of dress designing or management. Boys have also taken an interest in home economics courses. This year was the first to have an all boys food class. The boys have learned a great deal of knowledge concern¬ ing baking and preparation of foods. Miss Sharon Merica, B.S., Ball State; home economics and sponsor of Home Economics Club. Lynn McFarland doesn’t seem to enjoy being used as a model while Kathy Friederici applies a head bandage.

Under the direction of Mr. Ray Colombo, this group of students met daily to prepare for its many performances. Their perform¬ ance was a highlight of the Christmas assembly as well as other programs and baccalaureate exer¬ cises. Chorus members learned to appreciate all types of music by singing a wide selection of songs ranging from Negro spirituals to popular music. Through developing their individual talent, chorus members gained an appreciation and enjoyment of all phases of music. The Chorus depends largely on pianist, Neil Larson. Here he enjoys playing a selection as Bonnie Hacker waits for her cue to sing. 45 Better Communications in the Classroom The art of writing has long been a means of communicating ideas to the public. Journalism classes offer pupils an opportunity to prepare for writing expressions found in newspapers. In this class the student acquires the skill of writing informative and interesting stories. Formal discussions, public addresses and ap- pearences are obligations many young people will face in the future. Speech classes give stu¬ dents a chance for experience in this aspect of their life. Students address their classroom audience with varied speech topics and partic¬ ipate in debates and panel discussions. The art of intelligent listening can be exempli¬ fied by Dyer’s closed circuit television system. By teaching classes with the aid of the TV block and offering a variety of homeroom pro¬ grams, students are introduced to another method of communication at DCHS. Dyer is one of five schools in Indiana to offer closed circuit TV. Speaking, writing, and listening are the three major ways to express opinion and gain knowl¬ edge. The awareness of this can better relate the world events and stimulate one’s thinking to opinions and action. Junior journalism students attentively watch film that compares the Japanese press with that of a city newspaper press in the United States. Key to Better Relations in the World lr.

The band captured this title as they once again won first division ratings and the coveted Sweepstakes award at the annual NISBOVA state contest held at Fort Wayne. Mr. Douglas Jordan, B.M.E.

Echoes of ORGANIZATIONS ■ “German Club in the boys’ gym, Latin Club in the girls’ gym, Sportsmen’s Club the cafeteria” ... so ends another morning’s announcements. For the people involved, though, these announcements can mean the fun of working on a big dance, an oppor¬ tunity to hear a talk on vocational plans, or a chance to meet with people who share the same interests and ideas. Twenty-six extra-curricular service groups, honor- aries, special interest organizations, and vocational clubs capture the after school and activity period hours of Dyer Central students and faculty. They provide outlets for creativity, a chance to lend a helping hand, or, just plain fun. These clubs are as integral a part of school life as math quizzes and typing speeds. The organizations of DCHS give everyone a chance to join in and express themselves outside the classroom. New School Plans, Traditional Events, Student Council members.

Events and procedures in the new school will echo the policies activated by the Student Council during the busy year of 1965-1966. Leading the student body in expressing ideas for the new school was a full-year concern for the Student Council. Many traditions were re¬ viewed in order to establish a sound basis for future student activities. Meetings, student surveys, and conferences with the administra¬ tion were devoted to the topics of the new school’s name, colors, and mascot; future names for the student publications; organiza¬ tions; and policies. Three seniors and two juniors returned from summer vacation with ideas and enthusiasm gained at the Indiana University Student Council Workshop in Bloomington. To raise funds to send more representatives to the workshop was an important project for council members. Sponsor of the student council, Mr. Glenn Eberly, reads student surveys as President Kathy Connor tallies the votes. Mr. Fred Jones, principal, will apply the results in shaping future school policy. 52 Service Occupy Student Council Members Toys seem to overwhelm Bonnie Siebert, Don Wood, Chuck Hilbrich, and Nancy Easley during Roaring Fifties Day. Student Council members met during summer vacation to begin planning for the year ahead. The election of freshman officers. Student Council members and cheerleaders; the coor¬ dination and planning of Homecoming activi¬ ties; and the origination of a Special Day for each month were some autumn activities. December brought a Christmas assembly and Roaring Fifties Day. The band and the chorus were featured at the all-school holiday pro¬ gram. Student body members donated over 700 toys during Roaring Fifties Day; the Stu¬ dent Council distributed them to 100 area children and had enough left over to give to the Gary Settlement House. Mad Plaid Day, sponsored by the Student Council in March, was supported by many students, including Jim Claus, Jim Rokosz, Sandy Sands, and Ann DeMik. In Spring, Council members conducted a Channel 11 fund drive. Class and cheerleader elections for the coming year followed. An assembly in tribute to DCHS and another for Honors Day ended the Student Council’s year¬ ly activities.

National Honor Society members found time this year for many projects within the honorary organization. These seniors, who were chosen last Spring for character, scholarship, leadership, and service, filled roles as monitors during all-school testing day, tutors, and teachers’ aides. Proceeds from selling taffy apples and painting fences, other Honor Society ac¬ tivities, were to provide flagstands for the foyer of the new school. Dyer Central’s chapter of Quill and Scroll, an international honor society for out¬ standing publications students in the top third of their class, began its first full year with twenty-five members. Under the sponsorship of publications advisor Mr. Ronald Fritchley, its members directed the Spring Carnival in April, and raised the money to publish the Pot Pourri, Dyer Central’s annual literary magazine.

Make¬ up, costumes, props, sound effects, lights, and stage crews may not gain as much recognition as actors, but each is neces¬ sary for a play. Each crew or cast member receives a certain number of points for his part in a play; an accumulation of ten points makes him eligible for National Thespians. National Thespian members presented “Cheaper by the Dozen” in November, “The Lottery” and “The Reformation of Jezebel James or It all Happened at Gophers Gap” at a school assembly in January.

Kathy Kegebein, Organization Editor Sue Adley, and Mary Edna Craven strive to meet deadlines. The Echo staff combined determination and skillful research to complete this year’s Echo. One new feature instituted by the staff is the use of color. Since the academic and social activities of the student body make up the contents of the Echo the staff had to be alert at all times. Completion of the Echo was found to be a challenging task. Under the direction of sponsor Mr. Ronald Fritchley the final deadline was met in February. Chuck Grummer takes time off from his duties as editor to be cheerleader at the Echo Kickoff.

This goal is accom¬ plished through hard work and sportsmanship. The club encourages active participation in all athletic activities and is a great incentive to underclassmen. Under the direction of Mr. Milby the Letter- men’s Club was very active this year. In October, it sponsored the annual Homecoming Dance and in November, all four classes par¬ ticipated in the Lettermen’s Turkey Trot. Winners of the races received chickens turkeys, and ducks.

To prepare for a teaching vocation by learning about and culti¬ vating such qualities in themselves is the goal of Future Teachers of America members. Since Dyer is affiliated with the Indiana F.T.A., delegates at¬ tended an area meeting at South Bend in Novem¬ ber, and another in Indianapolis in April. Besides attending classes on teaching, the delegates nomi¬ nated and elected state F.T.A. officers. Funds for flags stands for the new school and scholarships for graduating F.T.A.’ers were raised through the F.T.A. coat check, operated at basketball games and at post-football and basketball dances.

Center Interests in Hobby Organizations New among Dyer Central’s organizations for this year is the Archery Club. Although much of the club’s time was spent in getting organized, mem¬ bers met frequently at the Hammond Civic Center in winter, and at the Scherwood Club’s archery range during the warmer months. Competition with other bow-and-arrow groups was also among the Archery Club’s activities. Hunting, fishing, and camping comprise the main activities of the Sportsmen Club; sportsmanship and conservation, its basic practices. A Winchester rifle, a fishing reel, and a camp stove were raffled off by the club in November. Thirteen hardy Sports¬ men underwent the five day survival trip during Christmas vacation. Frequent hunting outings were climaxed by the annual summer canoe trips into Canada. Coin Collectors is the name of the organization which has the distinction of being the smallest in Dyer Central High School. Its seven mambers, to¬ gether with Mr. Duane Wickstrom, sponsor, met regularly to discuss and examine coins of all de¬ nominations from various parts of the world. Janet Mills, Elliot-Ann LeVine, Mr. Wickstrom, and John Schelfo discuss unusual coin during a home¬ room meeting. 77 Art Club—Bottom Row: Mrs. L. Smith (sponsor), E. Schrum, L. Smith, D. Kirby, J.

Their projects included a trip to the Chicago Art Museum during September, making posters for other organizations, and putting together the an¬ nual Art Club yearbook. The Science Club promotes an avid interest in science. Their major project was sponsoring the annual Science Fair, which gave students the chance to demonstrate their inventive skills. Their frequent meetings gave budding scientists the opportunity to get together and talk shop.

ATHLETICS Athletics, the glory of victory, the silence of defeat... Everyday, boys give their time, effort, and hard work for the sake of a team and Dyer Central. These boys make up the squads as they work to¬ gether, play together, and win or lose together, as a group, as a team. But within this group are individuals who are build¬ ing not only strong bodies, but healthy attitudes, a sense of respect for coaches and their fellow team¬ mates. These boys learn discipline and the desire that helps make a team win. They put up with the dirt, sweat, and pain that comes only with being an athlete. Some of these boys will soon be fighting for a new school, but the determination and drive that makes them compete will still remain.

Varsity Gridders Complete Successful A Griffith ball carrier is crushed under a swarm of Indian tacklers. Blocking, tackling, running and good hard nosed football enabled tbe gridiron men of Dyer Central to fight their way to a winning season. Under head Coach John Tennant, the varsity finished the foot¬ ball year with a record of 6 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. The Indians began the season by defeating a scrappy bunch of Ingots from River Forest 12 — 0. In a conference game against the Highland Trojans Dyer rolled to a 21 — 7 victory with halfback Bill Senzig racking up two touchdowns. For the first time of the season the Indians showed signs of be¬ coming a truly great defensive team as they gave up a mere 5 yards rushing to the Trojans. Against Portage the Indians scored twice in the first half and held on to the ball the rest of the game to preserve a 13—0 victory. On a night to be remembered as one of the sloppiest gridiron battles of the year the Crown Point Bull¬ dogs fell under the muddy heel of Dyer as the Indians romped to a 13—0 triumph. 82 Head Coach John Tennant discusses halftime strategy with backfield Coach Ed Robertson. Defensive halfback Bill Senzig stops a Crown Point scoring bid just short of the goal line. Campaign Earning 6-1-2 Season Mark joyous homecoming crowd saw the Indians defeat Lowell 20—0 with middle linebacker Larry Kozuch stopping the Red Devils with three pass inter¬ ceptions. In a Saturday afternoon game with Gavit the Indians came from behind on two touchdowns by John Greichunos to tie the Gladiators at 13 —13. In a game that could well have been the hardest fought battle of the year for Dyer, the Indians de¬ feated Calumet 13—7. Injury ridden from the previous game the Indians were tied by an upset-minded Griffith Panther team 7-7. In what proved to be the final game of the year, hopes for a conference championship were dashed when the Merrillville Pirates outscored the Indians 13—6. A nineteen yard run and a fumble recovered in the end zone gave the Pirates just enough margin as they handed the Indians their first and only defeat of the season.

Althrough the Indian offense was often¬ times explosive and devastating the main forte of Coach John Tennant’s fighting Indians was defense. A hard-hitting, powerful front line was the key to a successful season. Led by tackles Bruce Kilander, Roy Decker, Ed Powell, and Elwin Schau the Indi¬ ans continually ripped gaping holes in opposing lines to smother many unsuspecting backs. Line¬ backers Larry Kozuch, Mike Pepkowski, and Stan Siwinski along with defensive backs Leon Putz, Ron Schulte, Greg Stone, and Bill Senzig should be credited with fine pass defense. Along with de¬ fensive ends Don Funderlic and Dave Frohnapple these Indians combined to form the best defensive team in the history of Dyer Central.

Raising spirit with short yells, cheer¬ leaders Nancy Easley and Connie Lockhart cheer at a home basketball game. A month after their election last May, five energetic girls began a year of hard work by going to cheer¬ leading camp. It was here that the varsity cheerleaders learned the new techniques and cheers which helped them gain area-wide recogni¬ tion. In October, the Hammond Times singled out Dyer’s cheer¬ leaders by doing a feature story about them. Organizing a boy’s pep block was one of the main accomplishments of the year. The girl’s and boy’s pep block, together with the varsity cheerleaders captured the cheering trophy at the Holiday Tourney and showed genuine enthusiasm at the Sectionals. Leading yells for the varsity are: Kay Hilbrich (capt.), Nancy Easley, Connie Lockhart (mascot), Suzie Austgen and Eileen Hero. 88 Gail Sweet, Nancy Atcher, and Mary Lou Bucha go through the motions of a sideline chant for enthusiastic spectators.

Coach Ed Robertson’s team consisting of six seniors and five juniors often found itself to be on the short end when it came to height. Hard work and determina¬ tion kept the Indians working to improve their standings. After dropping the first four games to the credit¬ able opponents of River Forest, Demotte, Gary Edison and T. F. North, the Indians defeated Ham¬ mond Gavit before an elated home crowd. The Indians were defeated in their next two deci¬ sions against Lowell and Calumet before coming up victorious in the first game of the holiday tour¬ ney against the Munster Mustangs. Hobart’s Brickies, however, won the championship when they de feated the hosting Indians 64-63. DCHS added two more victories before the close of the season by beating Munster once again and also East Gary. Playing in the first sectional to be staged at Crown Point the Indians were defeated by the hosting Bulldogs 76-46.

Winding up the season with a total record of three wins and ten losses the team had several outstanding individuals. Freshman Fred Ruiz wound up the sea¬ son with twelve wins and four losses.

Row: Tom Zackiewicz, Ron Wallis, Jerry ' Primm, Dean Cody, The 1965 cross country team showed vast improvement over last year by compiling a season record of 8 wins and 6 losses. One of the reasons for success was Coach Tom Peyton’s decision to start the team practic¬ ing on August 15. In the past practice had usually started with the beginning of the new school year. The extra two weeks of conditioning gave the team ample time to prepare for the keen competition of the Calumet Conference. The harrier team con¬ sisted of a hardy band of seniors who re¬ ceived very encouraging support from a promising group of underclassmen. Seniors winning letters were Glenn Peters, Larry Ehnen, Jay Armstrong, Mark Crawford, and Dave Biro. In the Calumet Conference Meet the Indi¬ ans placed fifth in a tie with Chesterton. Closing out the season on a good note the harriers finished eighth out of twenty-one teams in a difficult sectional meet. During 1965 the track team broke several records even though the season turned out to be a losing one. The final outcome for the year was 3 wins and 5 losses. Outstanding performances were turned in by sev¬ eral members of the track team. Bill Koslovsky set a new school record in the high jump with a leap of 5 ' 11 . The half mile record was broken by Glenn Peters who turned in a time of 2:04.9 seconds. This record-breaking pace was kept up by Bill Senzig who crossed the finish line in a time of 4:38 sec¬ onds for a new mile record. Both the 60 yard high hurdles and the 220 yard dash records were broken by Andy Hill. Track however, is not all running events. Some of the boys participated in the field events. Dave Frohnapple threw the shot put while Bill Senzig furthered his efforts in the pole vault. Darrel Trent and Larry Bender both participated in the broad jump. Darrel Trent makes an all out effort while competing in the broad jump.

Dyer Central has always fielded successful golf teams. The year of 1965 brought no exception to the rule. Under coach Lou Iaconetti the linksmen moved to a season mark of 14 wins and 11 losses. Besides Calumet Conference foes the Indians schedule includes teams from Hammond, Gary, South Bend, and Michigan City. In Calumet Conference play the linksmen achieved a record of 7 wins and 4 losses which enabled them to take third place in the Conference. The season was highlighted by a thirteenth place finish in thirty team Sectional. The experience of seniors Joe Bibich and Chuck Curtis are the vital asset which coach Iaconetti re¬ lies upon for a winning team. Following in the golfing tradition of the Curtis family, Chuck Curtis adds needed support and promises to be a definite aid in seasons to come. Juniors Pat Hogan and Jim Anderson complete the five man squad. Members of 1965 golf team: Chuck Curtis, Don Curtis, Pat Hogan, Joe Bibich. 101 1965 Baseball squad.

Staniszeski; Top row: Tom Hoffman mgr., Ken Robinson, Dave Hardballers Second in Cal Conference Senior catcher Bruce Kilander backs away from an inside pitch. The spring of 1965 has to be considered a very suc¬ cessful one as far as baseball is concerned. Coach Al Pilarcik, in his third year as baseball coach, piloted the Indian squad to a season record of nine wins, three losses, and one tie. In Calumet Conference play, the Indians finished with nine wins and three losses, which put them in a tie for second place with East Gary. Anticipating another successful season in 1966, Coach Pilarcik will have seven lettermen returning to bolster the team. Southpaw Bob Keilman and Ken Robinson will shoulder most of the pitching chores of the Indians; while Greg Stone, Tom Mygrants, Ron Schulte, and Chuck Grummer will man parts of the infield. Griffith managed to tie the Indians 6-6 in eight in¬ nings. In a rescheduled game, the Panthers fell prey to the hot bats of the Indians 4-1. In two early season duals Dyer was defeated by the conference champs to be, Gary Wirt and also by East Gary. The Indians gained an important victory over the Calumet Warriors 6-5 when shortstop Ron Schulte stole home in the eighth inning. Closing the season on a goo d note, the Indians won their last five games in a row. 102 Coach Pilarcik is looking forward to another winning Opponent We Hammond High 1 Hammond Tech 3 Lowell 8 Highland 8 Griffith 4 Wirt 2 Edison 6 East Gary 0 Calumet 6 Chesterton 8 Crown Point 3 Portage 7 Merrilville 5 Ron Schulte triumphantly crosses the plate as the Indians rack up another victory. season.

This year was no exception as the usual num¬ ber of teams with the unusual names joined in the competition. Eight teams from the fourth hour and nine teams from the fifth hour battled each other for first place honors. As the season progressed, it be¬ came apparent that in the fifth hour there would be three teams in hot contention for the championship. These teams were the KKK, the Rolling Stones, and the Avengers. The season finally came to a close after a highly contested playoff game which saw the Roll¬ ing Stones defeat the KKK by a score of 25-23.

That very special someone and the “Hi, how are you?” ac¬ quaintances; the fun loving gang and the two best friends; these are the people who share the joy and pain of being young. Every day 1081 students, 51 teachers and adminis¬ trators, along with countless visitors fill the halls of Dyer Central in a blending of personalities that teach lessons both in and out of the classroom, les¬ sons of friendship and giving, helping and tolerating. Next year Dyer Central will no longer exist, but the modem facilities and sparkling classrooms in the new building will have no life until its clean halls are filled with that flow of humanity that makes a school live.

The juniors began their year in June when the coke bar opened for summer school, and nothing but hard work followed until the last crepe paper streamer was hung for the prom. Meanwhile, they gained a reputation as corn-pickers and candy- turtle-sellers as they struggled to finance their prom, “Eden and Beyond”. Letting the school know they were on the rise, the juniors won the Y-Teens class cheer contest and had two of the three winning floats in the Home¬ coming parade. Concentration was not focused on extracurricular activities alone; the juniors also thought about col¬ leges and careers. They worked on daily assign¬ ments, special reports, term papers, and those dreaded Saturday morning achievement tests. Fulfilling a year of activity and grooming for senior leadership, the class of ’67 looks ahead to the dis¬ tinction of being the first class to graduate in the new high school.

Sophomores started a bright and active year as they ordered their class sweaters. Near the end of fall they could be seen proudly wearing their, “washable whites”, trimmed with blue and gray, down the school corridors. A school first was their class sponsored dance which featured the competition of three sophomore bands. The class of ’68 captured another first when they won the Homecoming trophy for their float “Devils Gotta Go”. An active class means active participation by all of the class members. This was accomplished by placing a suggestion box in each homeroom. Through these ideas the officers knew exactly what their classmates preferred. It was thus decided that the class trip would be a day spent at Turkey Run. Not all of the class projects focused on the students’ entertainment, but, instead, on the needs of fellow citizens. The class of ’68 helped underprivileged families with profits received from the two class bake sales. Spring found the sophomores not only studying, but deciding on the style and colors of their class rings. When school resumes they will receive their rings and begin a year cluttered with Prom respon¬ sibilities.

Little blue and white beanies and get acquainted tags made the freshmen easy to spot the opening weeks of school. Friday mornings found them marched to the gym by unrelenting seniors singing the school song. The ’69’ers became true members of DCHS as their beanies went up in flames with the Homecoming bon¬ fire and their initiation ended. Becoming active and productive citizens of the school challenged the freshmen. They responded by electing class officers, Elaine Kerns (pres.), Fred Ruiz (v-pres.), Kathy Stephenson (sec.), Virginia Olson (trea.) and student council members. In February they united to sponsor a sock hop with a dance contest.

ADVERTISING Since time began, advertising has played a vital part in the economy of the world. From the time the first caveman chipped an ad into rock, to the year of the “tiger in your tank” and the people who would rather “fight than switch”, advertising has echoed through the centuries urging us to try this new product or buy that “new, improved” old one. Of special interest to the students of Dyer Central are the hometown advertisers who provide these teens with a steady diet of hamburgers and pizzas, flowers for the Prom, and gas for the car before that important date. Centralites also frequent the banks and doctors that Dyer and the surrounding com¬ munities provide. The hometown merchants pro¬ vide another valuable service—part time jobs for students, jobs that can mean a college education, new clothes, or just plain fun.

of laying out pages, writing copy and cropping pictures; hours of frustration, worry and even an occasional tear. But the book was finished on March 4th, due only to the combined efforts of 16 people. I say “combined efforts” because I think each of the 16 people on the staff contributed to some vital portion of the book. Per¬ haps some worked a little harder, and maybe some a little longer, but each did his best to make our yearbook just a little better. I want to thank these people, not only for their hard work but also for their patience and perser- verance. I won’t name these people, they know who they are, and I want them all to know that I have enjoyed, and profited greatly in working with them. I also think that thanks are in order for someone else who has helped us greatly—our sponsor, Mr. Fritchley. These thanks come not only from myself, but from the entire staff. The final “thank you” goes to you the student. Thank you for being caught in humorous pictures. Thank you for doing all the things we wrote about. Thank you for starting the fads and styles that made our headlines, and most of all—thank you for supporting the 1966 Echo. Chuck Grummer Editor DYER LIBRARY
