1968 EASTERNER Pride in Eastside because we are Eastside. EASTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL BUTLER, INDIANA VOLUME 5 “Pride in Eastside” Because We are Eastside Following is the winning essay, submitted by the National Honor So- ciety, during Pride in Eastside Week. It was chosen for this page be- cause it represents best the theme of the 1968 EASTERNER. There seems to be an epidemic spreading at Eastside. Like a cold, it's spreading to everyone. Like the measles, everyone is breaking out with it. Like the mumps, everyone is swelling with it. Like the seven yearitch, it keeps everyone on the move. What is this thing that is caus- ing people to stay after school and clean rooms and make signs? Why, it’s pride. Everyone, well, almost everyone, seems to have some phase of it and this is only the beginning. There is more talk of later activities and fun-filled events . Are you a victim? Check yourself. Do you attend ball games and yell? Do you participate in one or more of the active clubs in our school? Do you work hard and cooperate with your teachers? If you do, you have a case of pride. Since this is such a widespread epidemic at Eastside, it appearsthat there can be no cure. Let's see if we can give it to EVERY- ONE! We want no cure! Long live Pride in Eastside! 2 Table of Contents Activities September to February...............................5 Sports Summer and Fall........................................21 Administration and Faculty....................................29 Seniors ..................................................... 41 Underclassmen.................................................57 Junior High...................................................69 Organizations.................................................83 Sports: Winter and Spring....................................105 Activities: March to May.....................................119 Advertising..................................................132 3 1967-68 Schedule of Events September 6 School Convenes September 15 Junior Magazine Sales Begin September 19 Miss Eastside Convocation October 3 Dr. Charles King Convocation October 6 First Annual Homecoming Talent Show October 7 Homecoming October 9 Sex Education Convo--Mr. Frank Liddle October 20 Cross Country Sectional October 26-29 Teachers' Institute November 7 Tragedy on Wheels Convocation November 10-11 The Sound of Music November 14 National Honor Society Induction Nobember 16 First Basketball Open House November 22 Basketball Season Opens--Angola Here November 23-26 Thanksgiving Vacation December 2 Senior Class Party--Silvermoon December 12 Christmas Concert December 15 Richmond High School Orchestra Convo December 20 Sophomores Receive Class Rings December 22 Christmas Vacation Begins December 27-28 Holiday Tourney--Bishop Dwenger January 2 School Reconvenes January 6 Booster Block New Year's Dance January 20 Lettermen's Fish Fry January 25 WOWO Air Aces vs. Faculty Basketball February 1 Indiana Central College Choir Convo February 3 Eastside hosts NISBOVA Instrumental February 16 F.H.A.

INTRODUCING A MAJOR HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR: THE SEVENTY-FOUR PIECE RICHMOND SENIOR HIGH ORCHESTRA CONDUCTED BY RALPH BURKHARDT Members of the Richmond Senior High School Orchestra arrive the night before they are to give a concert at Eastside on Decem- ber 15. New friends were quickly made with Eastside Chorus and Band students, with whom they were housed. Jackie Hook demonstrates Eastside hospitality to her guests. From Victory at Sea to the Hal- lelujah Chorus, members of the Richmond Orchestra delightfully entertained Eastside students. Conductor Ralph Burkhardt asks the members of the Orchestra who had been students of Eastside music teachers Richard and Paula Foster, formerly of Richmond, to stand. Convocations Eastsiders had a new experience in the all-day convocation. The speaker was Dr. Frank Liddle. The topic-- Sex Education. Dr. Liddle spoke to the group as a whole, to the girls individually and to the boys individually. While one group was in session, the other group was divided according to classes and these smaller groups met in discussion groups with counselors. This expereince added knowledge and cleared miscon- ceptions . Dr. Liddle listens as his assistant reads the question of a student. A group of Senior girls meet in discussion with Kathryn Shultz. An intent audience is captivated by what Dr. Liddle has to say. Reverend Arthur Freisen delivers the message at the Christmas Convocation. 14 Highlights The Eastside Concert Choir gave their annual Christmas Concert prior to the dismissal for Christmas Vacation. The program included the traditional songs of Christmas from Joy to the World to selections from Handel's Messiah. Members of the faculty are honored. Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. In raising money for additional choir robes, the Music Boosters sponsored a basketball game between the Eastside Faculty and the WOWO Air Aces on Jan- uary 25. A capacity crowd viewed the antics of the Air Aces as they captured a close victory. Besides providing for a worthy cause the venture was highly en- tertaining and a delightful treat. Serving as the cheerleaders were Linda Long, Linda Reynolds, Carolyn Hoffer and Mary Helen Kurtz. Mr. Neuhouser scores with Cigna close behind. 15 Pep Sessions An enthusiastic Student Body opens the 1967- 1968 Basketball Season with a spirit arousing pep session.

Mr. Wilder presents Seniors Mama Ankney and Melanie Carnahan with First Prize in the Locker Decoration Con- Hoosier Herb Holden, Senior Center, displays his jumping ability. The Eastside Blazers finished their season with a fair record and some hard games fought, of which many were close. One of the thrillers of the year was the Woodlan (Allen County Conference Champs) game which ended in overtime in favor of the opponents by only two points. The greatest victory was gained from Prairie Heights by over twenty points. School Spirit mounted with the season's onslaught. 18 Hysteria The Blazettes Drill Team danced to Music to Watch Girls By, during one of the Half-Time pro- grams.

The people pictured on the preceding pages serve not only to guide and educate us, but to help us when we need someone to turn to. Too often we fear them as being something other than human, but if we take the time to know and understand that they are no different than we are, except in the respect that they have experienced more in life. What they have learned, they as teachers in turn are offering to us . Compliments of BUTLER G BUTLER COMPANY 40 Janitors: Mr. Earl Lyons, Mr. Albert Brown.

A Year of Senior Class Officers were: Janet Sebert, Pres.; Nancy Ulm, Vice Pres.; Cindy Akey, Sec.; and Mark Strong, Treasurer. Industrious and creative Seniors spent late hours on their prize winning Home- comingfloat. Their hearty efforts were rewarded the first-place trophy. Five Seniors partici- pated in a panel which posed the questions of fellow classmates to Congress- man E. Ross Adair. Lasting Memories -T • « % 1 i Seniors Bill Wellendorf and Skip Campbell returned from a trip to be wel- comed back by a locker filled with news- papers.

The book was enlarged to 136 pages, new layout methods devised, and a new look for the fac- ulty section. All of this was done in hopes that this would be one of the more outstanding annuals. Perhaps the greatest asset to this year's staff was a certain Yashica Mat-Em Camera which went anywhere and everywhere capturing the action portrayed in this an- nual. From previous experience it was soon learned that good annual pictures require the proper camera. And the Yashica has more than satisfied the requirements! The 1968 Easterner Staff hopes that this annual will bring years of outlasting enjoyment.

With the complete support of Mr. Robert Wilder, the Council sponsored the first annual Homecoming Talent Show, the first Pride in Eastside Week, and the first Spring Festival. Only on the basis of united school organizations and students were they carried to success . Pres.

These sports were played in competition with teams from surrounding area schools and the opponents received very- stiff competition from Eastside's highly challenging teams.

Despite a loss to Garrett, the Blazers fought one of their best games and for Seniors Herb Holden, Skip Campbell, and Gene Flueckiger the memories will linger long. Here: the tip- off. Eastside vs. Garrett Floor General Skip Campbell takes aim to skillfully pass the ball out of the reach of his Garrett guard. Deo Wasson stretches every inch to take advantage of a rebound. Deo was one of three sophomores, also including Keith Kessler and Van Miller who were moved up to the Varsity. The three promising boys quickly moved into the ranks of Blazer favorites.

Away it goes! The Girls' Track Team is in its second year at Eastside. Coaching was Mrs. Maida Parshall, who also sponsored the formation of a Girls' Volleyball Team. Two girls, Janelle Moore and Nila Willibey qualified for competition in the Girls' State Track Meet. It is apparent that we have some very able girl athletes at Eastside and it is hoped that their athletic program will grow and expand with that of the boys. Much credit can be given to Mrs. Parshall in the initiation of girls' athletics at Eastside. Her interest in the physical fitness of high school students is pro- found .

Clubs and classes were assigned rooms to clean, essays were written, and signs made. Eastside spar- kled from top to bottom as its seams burst with pride. All categories were judged and prizes given to the winners at a special convo. To cli- max this most historic week, Eastsiders par- ticipated in a Goose Chase sponsored by the Youth for Christ in Auburn. The students'pride was at its most glorious height as they took all the bows for the event, capturing both geese! The prize for the evening's festivities was a huge trophy. Students learned that by taking pride in what you have and not what you do not have that any atmosphere can be brightened. Ifthisbethecase, then long live Pride in East- side! The band's sign took first-place honors in the sign contest. And so we all learned, that Pride does make school fun. □N THE FIELD WE □□ DUE BE5T TD 5HDU DUE PRIDE IN jr‘ i— ' U IT FUN - V'0o% PRIDc DO WE DO v Members of the Lettermen’s Club and our school athletes can teach us a lesson in school pride.

(Kangaroo Court--Band) “The Night of Juniors drained the streams of crea- tivity as they undertook to present the Seniors with The Night of Forget-Me- Not. Within the hallowed interiors of Fort Wayne's Cutter's Chalet, guests were impressed by the tasteful decora- tions which provided a night-club-like atmosphere. Completing the memorable setting were the soothing strains of the Blue Impressions, highlighted by the professional entertainment of comedian Mike Caldwell. Crowned as Prom King and Prom Queen were Jim Ridge and Cindy Staley. SeniorPresident Janet Sebert offers the thanks and com- pliments of her classmates to the Juniors. Tom Seltenright presents Junior Sponsor Mr. Hubert Stackhouse with a plaque for his en- thusiastic interest and initiative in helping the class to realize their full potential. The meal over, juniors prepare for the onslaught of an eventful evening. One that they will not soon forget and one into which they have all invested much time and effort to make possible. 126 Forget-Me-Not But, perhaps the greatest pleasure is derived from just talking and having a good time. The Night of Forget-Me-Not climaxes with a sock hop and a breakfast. Asthe guests depart for home, they realize that a night into which much preparation has been invested has come and gone, and only memories linger on. 127 One Day's Reward Principal Kent Myers presents the Valedictorian Award to Shari Benninghoff and the Salutatorian Award to Tony Teutsch.

To The realization of graduation is quickly approaching as Seniors prepare themselves in eager readiness. A major milestone of life nears its completion. Lending a helping hand. 130 Realize Our Dreams The Diploma--symbol of twelve years of knowledge, uncountable memories, and a storehouse of experience. 131 Dear Eastside, This is a letter for posterity. Speaking for the 1968 Easterner, I will say an unexpressible thanks to all the people who made this annual possible: The students who are Eastside, for it is to them that this book is dedicated; Principal Myers for his intense interest and seeing that we had a proper camera with which to capture the action; to the faculty for their cooperation and patience; to Mr. Sherer, our advisor; To the pa- trons for their financial support; to Shawn Campbell, for her diligent work in obtaining financial support and controlling expenses; to Nancy Ulm for designing the cover and division pages; and to my staff who worked hard in obtaining supporting funds. The Easterner of 1968 is different in many respects and perhaps that can be attributed to the fact that the characters portrayed between its covers are changing and growing individuals. This is the first realization that struck me upon graduation as I joined the people who are no longer a part of the continuing Eastside, but the Eastside of the past. Graduation is a beginning of a future and the climax of a past. Remembering the past, one is certain to touch many soft spots. But we who graduate must go forward into the future taking with us the knowledge and the experience that has been gained in the midst of these hallowed halls. Eastside changes every year, because its inhabi- tants change . One can not regret returning to Eastside after he graduates, for it will not be the Eastside that he knew. It is only when you walk through an empty school that bears the name of Eastside, amidst its deafening silence, that you realize that people make Eastside, not a building. Do not blame the building for the inconveniences, for this building has housed many wonderful memories, with a resounding echo. It is where you learned how to face life; it is where you experienced life. I hope that you will treasure this book for many years to come, no one can fully realize all the work and effort which has gone into its creation. But most important: remember to be proud that you are East- side, for you create the life within the building which bears the name. Sincerely, 132 what next? After high school, what: travel, work, service, college or technical school? Regardless of your choice, how far you go in this space age depends partly on your imag- ination but primarily on your education and training. Conquering new horizons will demand more knowledge, more skills, more training and more specialization. Our free-enterprise system, the backbone of our country, has given us the highest standard of living in the world and the greatest degree of individual freedom. And it offers you the opportunity to make your mark in any field of endeavor you choose. _______ INDIANA MICHIGAN iysfm-tie critic COMHHr----- ARMSTRONG FLORAL Now Serving You at Two Locations BEE HIVE Auburn, Indiana Butler, Indiana Phone 925-2399 Phone 868-2571 Butler, Indiana BILL'S DRIVING RANGE AND MINIATURE GOLF Compliments of Four Miles West of Auburn DR.
