Sunday morning silence reigns at Memorial. quite a contrast to its busy weekday appearance when 1,510 students are attending classes. People make Memorial function What is the meaning of Elkhart Memorial? Is it just another high school where its students come to work, learn and meet their friends? Is it simply an “Institution of Higher Learning” that is attended by people wishing to further their education? Memorial is all of these things, and none of these things. There are as many different rea- sons for coming to school as there are different people. The only thing these people have in common is their school. There is something about their school that involves everyone and everything connected with it. It is a spirit, a lifeblood that sets it apart nT Se rin | from the rest. Memorial is not just another high school. This lifeblood makes Memorial’s people proud of their school. They work long and hard hours, not for themselves, but to improve their school. They vol- unteer their ideas, time, and effort to make Memorial a place that they can enjoy. They take an active part in concerts, drama produc- tions, student government, pep club and sports events. These ele- ments make Memorial special. What is the meaning of Elkhart Memorial? People are the mean- ing. People are the lifeblood of this school. Students want answers Memorial’s people come to school for answers. They want and work for them in a $12,000,000 structure that has 372,954 square feet of space. They walk through 5,150 feet of corridors, sit in any of 1,890 desks in any of the 68 class- rooms, and, by the end of the year, they have spent close to 1,902,600 total hours at school. And that doesn’t count homework! They put their books in more than 1,800 lockers, and, although there aren’t many doors, students walk through more than 300 doorways. The building is beautiful and well-equipped, but it isn’t an answer in itself. Answers come only from the interaction of the people inside. Memorial's students are looking for answers about themselves and their world, and that is what the year, the school, and this book are all about. Something new in the library, bookshelves were installed where there used to be doorways to accom- pany the new security system. Standing inline, most students preferred eating in the cafeteria to going out to one ofthe many neatby res taurants for unch Cathy Holt, Steve i and Joan Quinlan Memorial was full of special people, students and staff alike. Whether it was attending a public school in a wheelchair, or returning to high school after a 26-year absence, these people had the determina- tion to work harder, stay longer, and put forth the extra effort that set them apart from the rest. Eight of Memorial's 1600 special people are recognized on these two pages. Connie Cummins would have run on the girls’ cross country team, but there wasn’t one. However, there was a guys’ team, so she joined it. She was the first girl ever to run on the Memorial cross country team, previously made up of guys. Connie wanted a way to better her dis- tance running times for track in the spring, while doing something she enjoyed. Cross country seemed to be the best way When on the team, Connie received the same treatment as the rest of the guys. The team accepted Connie as one of them and helped her when she needed it. Connie agreed that cross country was a hard, gru- cling sport and even admitted that it was the most challenging thing she had ever done. Connie had an ulterior motive for run- ning on the cross country team. “I'm really hoping that there will someday be a girls’ cross country team here at Memo- rial. Maybe my running on a guys’ team will show girls that it is not all that hard.” Laurie Griffen, born with cerebral palsy and confined to a wheelchair, always attended public schools because “a school for the handicapped was something we never really considered. My parents just felt a public school would be better for me.” Until the sixth grade, Laurie attended classes for the physically handicapped. She enrolled at Brookdale Junior High School in the seventh grade and has taken “regular classes” since then. In her ninth grade year, Laurie received a special appreciation award from the Brookdale students and faculty In August of 1977, Laurie underwent a new type of surgery, “The Cerebellum Stimulator,” and was hospitalized in New York for five weeks. During the surgery, electrodes were planted on the surface of Laurie's brain. The electrodes were connected by wire to receivers in her chest. The purpose of these electrodes was to send electric cur- rents to her brain, breaking up spastic pat- terns and allowing her to be more relaxed The improvement from the surgery was gradual and described as an “accumula- tive process” by Laurie, who added, “The one thing I hope for is to be less depend- ent on others.” George Riebs, in order to make his U.S. History classes more interesting, wanted to find some Elkhart history that his stu- dents could relate to. He soon discovered that the history of Elkhart was no easy thing to acquire, and the only book of the city’s history was one that was written for elementary school children. After gathering bits and pieces of his- tory and many old pictures of the Elkhart area, Mr. Riebs decided to write his own book. Not only did Mr. Riebs compile, once and for all, the city’s history, he also gives many speeches on Elkhart's past. Stew Troyer used his musical abilities to play in the Marion, Indiana, Symphony Orchestra. Stew’s main instrument is the French horn, which he played in the Memorial Wind Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra. While at band camp, Stew was asked to play the French horn in the Mar- ion Philharmonic Orchestra, sitting assist- ant principal chair. The assistant principal chair player had to know how to play each of the other three horn parts, aside from the first horn part. He also had to be ready to play any of these parts on a moment's notice. Stew traveled to Marion every Monday night to rehearse with the orchestra. He practiced this music, along with the music that the band used, for which he played a mellophone solo. Music has been an important part of Stew’s life since he was in grade school and he plans to continue with his playing and make it a career. Bill Haslem and Laura Sickels, both involved in publications, held part-time jobs at The Elkhart Truth during the 1977-78 school year. Bill, the publications darkroom man- ager, was the Truth’s only student photog- rapher and worked weekends taking and printing pictures. “[ really liked being a Truth photogra- pher,” commented Bill. “It gave me a chance to meet a lot of people. I even met Jim Nabors and Tommy Newsom of the Tonight Show!” Laura, editor-in-chief of Genesis, ran the wire room on Friday evenings. Running the wire room included moni- toring the wire photo machines and help- ing to prepare wire stories for the Satur- day morning papers. Laura had previous experience at The Truth as she won top Go reporter for 1976-77. Laura enjoyed working at The Truth and said, “It was a good experience that I may not have had otherwise, and it will definitely help prepare me for a career in journalism.” Vi Andy Holtz was field commander for the 1977-78 Marching Chargers. He was also the first junior drum major to work solo. When Andy tried out in April of 1977, he was worried that as a junior he would not command the respect of the band the way a senior drum major would. During the summer, Andy attended Moorehead University in Kentucky for a week of drum major schooling, where he learned the fine points of marching and directing. The drum major’s job is to direct the band on the field. No band member is expected to march any better than the drum major. Andy commented, “The hardest part is that the responsibility is all on your shoulders and if you mess up, everyone knows.” Everlyn Hackworth attended classes at Memorial during 1977-78, finishing her junior year in January and starting her senior year second semester. Mrs. Hackworth attended classes dur- ing the day because she worked nights, Homework was done between school and job. “Having an early release made it easy for me to go home and finish my homework before leaving for work.” Mrs. Hackworth decided to return to school because she thinks a high school education is a necessity. Her plans included attending college after gradua- tion Linda Hackworth, her daughter, along with many other students, thought it was “neat” that Mrs. Hackworth returned to school. Mrs. Hackworth said, “Students were kind and helpful even before they found out my age.” Jorma Latva, Rainer Wolfersdorf, Pia Osterberg, and Miyuki Tanaka spent the year at Memorial as exchange students Jorma and Pia came from Finland, Rainer from Germany and Miyuki from Japan. Each student was here to learn the Ameri- can way of life. Youth for Understanding was the pro- gram that sponsored Pia, Jorma, and Miyuki. Rainer was sponsored by Interna- tional Christian Youth. All four students lived with other Mem- orial students. Jorma lived with Manley Robinson; Pia with Chris Vetter; Rainer with Dennis Huston, and Miyuki with Mary Luke. Miyuki was the second for- eign exchange student to live with Mary Luke's family All four students agreed that the prices in the U.S. were cheaper than those in their own countries. Rainer noted that jeans in Germany run about $40 a pair compared to about $20 a pair here. Although homesickness was a big prob- lem, all four students were happy with their American families and the U.S. S Work, play are part of summer Work, play, and pi these were some of th students participated in during the sum- mer of 19 Some earne workshops at ¢¢ For many studen have a g0% the thro!

To keep warm and look great, Nannette Platz and Judy Vaughn wrap up in leather and suede coats. These coats were worn both long and short. To show their school spirit, Jill Dinkledine and Mike Gary wear Memorial's own “E” sweaters. Fridays were crimson and gold days. Hair styles came in varieties. Anne Pikoraitis and Beth Wenger each choose a style that is most becom- ing to them. Underneath it all, Chargers keep it simple. Sandals, earth shoes and leather boots are fashionable foot- wear at Memorial Styles have the natural look Natural and casual. That's the way Memorial's students wore it. Shoes were simple, clothes were casual, and hair was natural. Hair was worn in styles ranging from long to short, straight to curly, Many stu- dents found that crimped hair, styled after Peter Frampton’s hair, made their hair look fuller. Jumpers, worn over cowl neck sweaters or blouses, were just the thing for Charger girls who wanted to add a little femininity to their collection of jeans. The “look” an outfit had was often determined by the shoes that were worn with it. For a dressier look, sandal-type shoes were added. Suede earth shoes gave a sporty look. Also fashionable were leather boots. Students wrapped themselves in leather and suede coats for the winter. The varie- ties of colors, styles, and lengths of these coats were seen at both formal and casual events. Styles were in no way limited. New fashion trends as well as fading fashions were seen quite frequently. From hair to shoes, no two Chargers were ever exac alike. Jumpers are great casual dresses for Charger girls. ‘Sue Hogstrom adds a pair of leather boots for a more sporty look. The look of Peter Frampton is being enjoyed by Laura Colfins, Shari Snyder, and Laurie Many students liked the fullness of curls. ilson, Excitement, novelty, adventure in first week After one of the tions that M dents arrived at excitement, enthusia fear.

Reasons varied from balancing out crowded classrooms to students just changing their minds. According to Dr David Flora, there were many requests for changes and a great number of correc tions needed because of computer errors. Mrs. Mary Harreld commented on how cooperative and understanding students were about the mistakes.

They acquainted the band with the music that would eventually be used in their state marching contest show. Many believed that the music for this year’s show con- tained more variety and was more enter- taining than any of the shows of previous years. Included in the half time show were soloist Bruce Dean in “One,” soloist Brian Beaver in “Peer Gynte Suite,” a mallet duet to the fanfare from “Rocky” with Joe Phillips and Tammy Plank, and soloist Stew Troyer on the closing of “I Write the Songs.” The band began rehearsing the funda- mentals of marching two weeks before the opening of school, practicing every night for three hours. The band performed at the first football game and left later that night for a stay at Smith Walbridge band camp, their session shortened because of a date change in the opening of school. “I believe the excellent staff and the band’s spirit helped this year’s band to be one of the most productive ever,” com- mented Don Litherland, band director. Many enthusiastic supporters accompa- nied the marching band to Penn High School on October 8 to witness the annual NISBOVA district marching band con- test, The fantastic response of the crowd along with the concentration of the band under the cold, wet and muddy field con- ditions helped Memorial place once again in the top five bands, among a record field of 21 high school marching bands compet- ing. Dedication and hard work are required of every band member before an award- winning show can be produced. Only after months of work is the show ready.

The cafete- ria was transformed into a 15th century banquet hall displaying tables decorated with candles, fruit, and medieval crests depicting the time period. Colorful cos- tumes of silk, velvet, crowns, and jewelry were worn by the Tudor Singers adding to the effect. Lord and Lady of Revels (Neil Peterson and Janet Lund) played the part of host and hostess for the grand feast and of their guests. The maid of tapers (Tammy Adams) designated the beginning of the occasion by lighting the candles. Songs of Christ- mas and toasts to all followed, celebrating the season. The steward (Rick Myer) pre- sented the traditional boar's head which was carried in by the pages. Home economics students served the meal of wassail punch, roast pork and dressing, browned potatoes, winter salad, and figgy pudding, all prepared by the cafeteria staff Jockomo the jester (Phil Jackson) spread Christmas spirit by amusing the audience with his acrobatic feats. A recorder ensemble and brass choir also added merriment to the festivities with their music “The Twelve Days of Christmas” was performed by nobles as each placed an ornament on the tree while singing a verse As Mary and Joseph, the lady and a royal lord (Janet Lund and Joe Monta- gono) pantomimed “The Cherry Tree Carol” in honor of Christ's birth Guests left the celebration of the Madrigal Dinner feeling like a “member of the aristocracy” after enjoying the splendid food, vivid sights, and pleasant sounds.

October 17 through 21 Trade-a-Day offered parents the oppor- tunity to attend classes in their child's place. Mrs. Alta Runyon, who attended class for her daughter Angela, said, “School has changed since I was in school. It's more relaxed, and very casual.” Parents did everything from taking their children’s tests to going out for lunch. Cindy Simper’s mother, former cheer- leader, took part in a rhythm and dance class. Sonja Coldren’s mother, said, “It really takes a lot of energy.” Three hundred and sixty-three parents attended Trade-a-Day. “It was the best ever.

During the course of three years of high school, every student of EMHS will spend their money on one, if not on all of the items pictured. For class you need supplies, for the games you need lickets and for your stomach you need food. Even though none of these purchases are totally necessary to complete a ll the graduation requirements, it will make the three years at Memorial easier and more enjoyable The costs that are pictured don’t even begin to include all the items necessary for wee individual classes. Some art students need photographic paper and film, home eco- nomics students need food and sewing supplies, industrial art courses require wood, science students need data books, foreign language students need dictionar- ies, typing students must have typing paper and erasers, and most English and math classes require a notebook.

Such special events included the visit of Indiana Senator Birch Bayh the DePauw Collegian Singers, the Rir Woodbury dancers, and previews of school productions. Bayh came to Memorial on November 29. He talked to the student body and answered as many questions as t allowed. During their winter interim session, the Collegia s from DePauw Univer sity went on tour to different schools and nizations. Memorial was one school where they performed. The use of body language was empha sized by the Ririe-Woodbury dance: professionals from Salt Lake City, Uts who performed during an assembly and later for numerous classes.

Chargers prepare for the future by working Being a full time student and a part time employee was the situation many stu- dents were in during the school year Results of a survey administered to the student body showed that a majority of seniors held a part time job while attend- ing school. Many juniors were also employed part time but the percentage was lower than the senior class. Most of the sophomores who worked did so during the summer months, not during the school year, The main incentive for those who worked was definitely money. When the minimum wage increase went into effect. raising wages from $2.30 to $2.65 per hour, those earning minimum wage auto- matically gained a 30-cent raise. A senior commented on the wage increase by say- “I'm glad it did because it'll help me save more money for college.” Paychecks were also used for car payments, gas clothing, savings, and extra spending money The average number of working hours for students was approximately 25 per week. For some this time didn’t create any problems for getting homework finished, but for others, it did. Melissa Leers recalled “staying up late finishing home- work assignments or studying for a test many times.” Job availability was fairly good this year for high school students if they really got out and looked, according to the man- ager of the Indiana State Employment Agency.

Charger spirit is sky high” were the lighted mes- sages flying over the Memorial-Central football game. To promote school spirit Student Government chartered a plane to pass over the field during the game. Revising the constitution loomed as the first action to take during the year. A committee was appointed to review the constitution; many problems were ironed- out, from minor rewording to the addition of new sections. The end product was con sidered by all to be a more logical and complete document. Although Student Government was not lacking funds, it sponsored an open fifties dance. Despite being postponed three weeks by the “Big Snowstorm of '78”, the dance was a success, attended by approxi- mately 200 people. A “real live” disc jockey was hired and acted as MC for the several pantomimes scheduled. Another project undertaken was the donation of $50 to Mike O’Toole’s, Gina Companion’s and Ken Fries’ memorial funds.

As a service to incoming sophomores and new students an orienta- tion night was held; guides gave tours of the school and answered the questions of the students or their parents. Cam Findlay reflected, “Even though it seems all kinds of things were against us, we accomplished what we wanted. From orientation night to revising the constitu- tion, many of our plans were realized Student Government found many answers over the past year, the first being who would fill its offices.

Tammy Plank said, “Even though. we had some bad times everybody really cared about how every- one else did.

Close living conditions enabled students toget'to'know each other. “I met a lot of good friends at band camp,” said Mary Lovejoy Most band students felt that the mem- bers helped each other out of jams and basically made being in the band a good experience “Whenever a guy needed help with his marching or playing, there was always someone else to give him a hand,” remarked Mike Wilsey Hard work and lots of effort joined to make this year’s band, according to Shari Eger, “one of the best in spirit.” Donald Litherland conducts the band during a rehearsal for NISBOVA contest.

After much prepa- ration the girls found out that due to the coal strike and resulting energy crunch, the dance was postponed from February until March, Laura Martinez was elected president of the group, Linda Sailor was the vice-president, Jackie Kidder the sec- retary, and Deb Hartman the treasurer. Pep Club member Donna Cox said, “I liked backing the guys and girls up in their athletics and it’s a way to do that when you don’t have time to go to the games.” A group that worked almost as hard as the team was the cheerleaders. The group spent their time during sixth hour every day and after school practicing to get their cheers synchronized. The varsity cheer- leaders were made up of juniors and sen- iors, while the JV's were sophomores During a time out, cheerleaders Polly Geyer, Peggy Manbeth Holtz, and Peggy Hoke try to get 1d to show their spirit. No one will claim that great athletic facilities make great athletes, but most coaches agree that good equipment and facilities help to develop good athletes into better ones. One coach stated, “When you have fantastic facilities as we do here at Memorial, you can develop the poten- tial you see in an athlete to its fullest.” Even prejudiced outside observers con- cede that Memorial’s facilities rank among the best in the state. North Side Gymnasium, where the boys’ basketball team plays its games, was the largest high school gym in the world at the time of its construction, seating nearly 10,000 fans. Rice Field, the varsity football aren: one of the best high school football fields in the area, while Charger Field, the junior varsity field, doubles as one of the best track and field facilities in the area with its all-weather track. The Memorial pool was recently equip- ped with a $12,000 electronic touch pad timing system which is accurate to one- thousandth of a second, while the Charger gym, recognized for its versatility, is the site of an indoor track as well as three bas- ketball courts, a wrestling room, a weight room, and a dance studio.

The key to the team’s success was the hard work put in throughout the under second year coach Dale Rems. Rems was constantly behind the team pushing them to work harder and harder Scott Welch, team captain, commented “We really worked hard year round: sum- mer, winter, and spring, as well as fall Coach Rems really pushed us hard.” ason Richard Vaughan added, “Mr. Rems helped us enormously because he got us up psychologically before every game.” The gridders worked together as a team. but there were nevertheless many out- standing individuals on the team. Mark Bryson, who was named the team’s Most Valuable Player by the Elkhart Truth at the fall sports banquet, let the team in several categories, including rushing, pass interceptions and interception returns, and kickoff returns. Bryson rushed for 623 yards in 151 carries for an average of 3.8 yards per carry, intercepted three passes and totaled 40 yards in interception returns, and set a school record with a ninety-two yard kickoff return. In addi- tion, Bryson completed two passes for touchdowns on a halfback option play The second of these touchdowns was the score that sent the Central game into over- time, David Selman won the Glenn Silcott award as the team’s outstanding offensive lineman, while Mike Aaron and Rod Morgan shaied scoring honors with four touchdowns apiece On defense, Tony Thomas led the team in tackles and Vaughan captured the Sil- cott award as the outstanding defensive lineman. Welch and Tony Thomas were named the team’s co-captains at the fall sports banquet { | | | Chargers win Mangy Lion in overtime thriller The Elkhart Memorial High School football team won the city championship and the Mangy Lion for the third straight year in what many people considered the most exciting high school game they had ever seen, Following a scoreless defensive battle in the first half the Chargers struck first when Mark Bryson capped a 71-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run, The Blazers then retaliated to tie the score with a touchdown early in the final quarter, a Thomas to Hill 30-yard pass The Blazers then took the initiative as they marched down the field and scored on a 21 yard run with only 51 seconds left in the game Afraid of Mark Bryson, Central tried an onside kick which was recovered by Memorial on its own 48 with less than 30 seconds remaining. On the very next play, Bryson took a pitch from Mike Aaron, rolled out, and threw a 52-yard touc down pass to Don Taylor. Beaver’s PAT tied the score at 14 all In overtime, Central could manage only a field goal; Memorial scored a TD on Mike Brewer's one-foot plunge. The final score: 20-17.

LaSal Central Season Re NIC Record 5-3 JV’ers gain valuable experience The junior varsity football team, under coach Michael Lattimer, did not have an outstanding season record, but this was not indicative of team effort and overall play. According to Coach Lattimer, there were many fine football players out for the team. One of the main reasons for the disappointing record was that the junior varsity players practiced with the varsity team most of the time and did not get a lot of practice time on their own.

Harriers enjoy best year ever “Fantastic!” This was the response given by Coach Ted Noffsinger when asked to describe his cross country team, and the team’s achievements would seem to support that evaluation It was a year of firsts for the harriers, who compiled a 12-4 season record. In fact, Noffsinger commented, “We literally rewrote the record book.” In addition to the first winning season for a memorial cross country team, the runners had many other milestones. Among them were the first trophy ever won, the first regional qualifying team, the first state qualifier. the first woman competitor, and the high- est sectional finish ever. The team was led by senior Dave Bus- sard, whom Noffsinger called “the best runner we've ever had at Memorial.” Bus- sard set school and senior records; fin- ished second in the sectional and fourth in the regional: went to the state meet and finished 47th, and was the first C . runner to finish first in the Central meet Other outstanding runners were Mark Mravec, Dennis Sever, Jeff Reiff, Randy Brewers, and Ted Knudson. Noffsinger attributed the team’s success to a number of factors. He explained “The main factor contributing to our suc- cess was that people came to practice at the beginning of the year in shape, instead of coming to practice to get in shape.” The Chargers compiled a 6-3 record in the Northern Indiana Conference Sprinting hard, participants in the sectional meet look for room to run, The Chargers finished third place overall. qualifying for the regsonal Northridge S.B.

One of the highlights of the season was at the NorthWood game, where the lead changed hands throughout the game. Only a last second 30-footer by Sever won the game, 62-60. Top individuals for the Chargers were Sever, George Byers, and Dan Greenlee. Sever led in several categories, including scoring, with an average of 15.0 points per game.

Seniors’ scores significant For most seniors, taking the SAT (Scholastic Achievement Test) is an important part of their last year of high school. The scores could determine which college they will attend. To help them. many students take the PSAT (Prelimi nary Scholastic Achievement Test) as jun: iors. Dr. Flora, head of Memorial's guid. ance department, believed the PSAT ves the students a practice effect and familiarity with the test. Also, it helps them qualify for the National Merit Scholarships—a real advantage.” The PSAT is made up of old SAT questions. When asked of the emphasis placed on the SAT's by colleges, Flora responded, “Col- leges use the test as a common denomina- tor throughout the country. If there is a border line situation, the tests become important. It's probably not the most important thing—class rank and quality of education are most considered.” To make class rank more significant, a - weighted grading system was being dis- cussed by the Elkhart school system.

The idea for the lab was origi- nated by George Cooper, owner of Sports- man’s Enterprises. Cooper donated half of the land, a row boat and oars, and half the cost of surveying and fencing the area “The limits of this facility depend on the creativity of the users. . . the area is being developed to extend the education of the users in the field of nature apprecia- tion and ecology,” says science teacher Gilbert Streeter. Streeter has been work ing with the lab for almost one and a half years. Asked when he thought the lab would be finished, he said, “Never, if everything goes right.” He hopes it will always be improving, changing and expanding.

Before building anything, students had to become acquainted with the machines. Designs and scale drawings of various types were explored in drafting, graphic arts (printing), and architectural drawing. Drafting was mostly drawing on a draw- ing board, making various sketches and sheet metal layouts. Printing placemats production printing, designing projects, and running presses were objectives of the graphic arts classes. Architectural drawing challenges students to design their own home with a complete set of working drawings. The surfaces of different metals are cut on the surface milling machine.

Anticipating a successful senior year, and looking back on an exciting sophomore year the Class of °79 began narrowin their fields of interest and pinpointing thei r priorities. Lighter sides of the junior year included being able to drive to school and go out to lunch for the first time. On the heavier side, some began to plan for college by taking the PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test) To assure themselves of a good senior year, many juniors carefully planned their class schedules. These schedules required U.S. History, complete with contracts and research projects, American Literature and Reading Improvement were also pop- ular choices.

He takes the PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test), and he can go to the prom. Not only are juniors able to attend the prom on their own initiative, the junior class also organ- izes the annual event The PSAT is taken by juniors in the fall. It is designed to prepare students for the SAT, (Scholastic Aptitude Test), a test that is used by most colleges as an entrance exam. The PSAT also enables juniors to become el le for National Merit awards and scholarships. The prom is organized by the junior class and constitutes the class’ major pro- ject throughout the year. Work for this year’s dance began in October and contin- ued all through the year. A contest was held to pick the theme, and later students were invited to join decorations and refreshments committees Junior class officers Patrice Pyles, Lisa Culp, Sue Hardman and Kim Pawlak headed the project and all agreed it was a lot of work. A place to hold the dance had to be found, a suitable theme had to be chosen, decorations had to be made to fit the theme, and a band had to be hired for the night. Pyles commented, “The hardest part of the job was convincing members of the senior class that the prom was going be held in the MHS cafeteria!” Hard at work, Sonja Coldren concentrates on the math section of her PSAT. High scoring juniors were eligible for National Merit awards.

There were so many avenues for the sophomores to follow that some of them were over- whelmed by the choices. One of the most outstanding features was the good school spirit shown by the sophomore class so early in the year by attendance at the sophomore class party, making it a terrific success. One counselor commented on the fact that the sophomores adjusted well and showed a real interest in their school Many teachers made comments per taining to the good sense of humor the sophomore class possessed.

However, slowly but surely (and many times more slowly than surely), we made progress. The book itself required 13 months and over 7000 total hours to complete, and that doesn’t count the time spent by the printing company in putting it together. Over 3000 pictures were taken and there are very few headlines, captions or copy blocks that weren't rewritten at least once. Murphy’s Law (anything that can go wrong, will) often ruled as the impossible but ever present deadlines approached. The first person to be thanked is Mr. Tom Wilson, the very talented creator of the cartoon “Ziggy” who most graciously allowed us to use his character on the cov- ers and endsheets. Special thanks goes to Mark Fields for suggesting the use of Ziggy and getting the book off the ground. He shared his year- book experience, giving many good ideas and encouraging remarks, right when they were needed the most. Mrs. Dean can't be thanked enough, mostly for having the patience it took to put up with me. And though she was tempted many times, she never resorted to screaming or throwing things. Another person who excells in patience, not to mention photographic skill, is Mr. Mosier. He took care of the color photog- raphy, team pictures, and all of the class Woo Sore Wyatt Melody —65, portraits. The staff deserves a very special thank you. They were the people who, con- vinced that their editor was too picky, too demanding and too weird to be real, did most of the work in getting the book ready to put together. Staff families quickly learned the act of cooperation, making special allowances for their offspring that included chauffer- ing them places, picking them up after school, and warming up countless dinners when they were missed. Miss McKeehan supplied more dates, times and general information than any- one else, and did it quite willingly. The first step in finding out virtually anything in the school was, in fact, “Go see Miss McKeehan.” When you know the janitors on a first name basis, you know you spend a lot of time after school. Louise Monroe and Glenn Drumm cleaned up after us and never complained. That is self control of the highest order. All the teachers, administrators and the student body helped by answering our questions, posing for pictures, and just stopping by to say hello late at night. To anyone whom I have forgotten or neglected to mention, I'm sorry and I thank you, too. Lobb: Bndbl Ziggy — Cover. Endshects Zech Ray Tel worth it STAI Editor-in-chief Managing Editor .....

The sign of a well-educated per- son is not what he knows, but what he knows how to ask, Every day can be a learning experience, if the right questions are employed Questions, in the place of answers, are the key to knowledge. No amount of schooling in any form can teach a person everything there is to know, so schools must concentrate not so much on filling the student’s head with answers, but rather on filling the student's head with questions and the knowledge of where and how to find the answers. A person with a head full of answers knows those facts alone, but a person with a head full of questions can find the solution to anything. The world is literally his for the asking. Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? These are more important than any answer, and, in a way, they are answers them- selves. They are like keys, keys that can open any door. The years of schooling have provided the ques- tions—the keys, and the answers lie waiting behind life’s doors. That is what it’s all about.

Forty-five satin stars in two sizes were stuffed to puffiness with newspaper and hung from the ceiling.

Sadie was started asa ‘prom plot’ Meeting together in 1962, members of The Girls’ League of Elkhart High School came up with a “scheme” to hopefully get themselves asked to the prom. A dance (Sadie Hawkins) right before prom time, so the guys would get the hint about taking someone to the prom. But things were going to be a little different this time, Girls (Daisy Maes) would be the pursurers, find the date and pay for the evening’s activities. Anna Marie Smith, sponsor of the former Girls’ League, said that the biggest event of the night was when the Daisy Maes “got hitched proper to their man,” by an official Marryin’ Sam. “We also got the assistance of the Boys’ League, under the direction of Dorrance Rogers,” continued Smith. “We thought they would go along with it more if they helped.” However, the tradition this year was postponed for a month due to the coal strike. Eventually, 50 couples attended the affair and danced to the music of “Sweet Thunder.” While dancing to the music of “Sweet Thunder,” Alan Francisco and Cheryl Carpenter talk about getting hitched. eak from dancing, Chi tuagagces while Jimy After getting hitched, Pat Melkus and Laura Martinez have photographer Bill Mosier take their picture To have memories of the night, Bill Sever and Lesa Fritz have their picture taken in front of the backdrop provided. q Back and forth goes the paintbrush as Bernard Hagler and Kim Otterbridge paint a banner for the Sadie.

Janice Dean, adviser, thought, “It was great to see how the technical and talent ends work together and produce something that the audience really enjoyed.” Two previous favorites that returned this year were “Who's on First” done by Cam Findlay and Todd Torok and “PDQ Bach” done by Don Weaver. “The dress rehearsals were such disasters that we weren’t sure how it would turn out,” stated director Findlay, “but it turned out beautifully.” Two special features this year were student compositions. Tina Knowles sang and played her guitar for “Scottie’s Brown Eyes,” and Nafe Alick sang and played the piano in “Forever Is a Fairy Tale.” irl on As I Get Home.” Softly strumming her guitar, Tina Knowles sings a song she composed about a friend of hers.

The guys received boutonniere and the girls carnations, Thinlies not stopped It often seemed to the guys’ track team that more than opposing runners were working against them. The nation-wide coal strike, coupled with an extremely late and cold winter, kept the thinlies off school grounds for their practice sessions. A ruling by the two high school principals of Memorial and Central forced runners and field-event competitors to work out on their own. The lack of practice facilities did not deter from the team’s season, however. The thinlies finished the regular season with a fine record of seven wins, five losses. Their conference mark was 6-3. Richard Vaughan commented on the short practice season: “The coal strike hurt us field eventers more than the guys who run, because they could run anywhere. We needed the facilities more than they did.” Top performers for Coach Jim Eger’s Chargers were Mike Gary, Mark Bryson, and Dave Bussard. Gary competed in several events, including the high jump, long jump, and 100 yard dash. Bryson’s best event was the hurdles, while Bussard, who went to state in cross country last fall, was the team’s top distance man. Boy’s Track Won 59-27 Opponent Warsaw F.W. South M.-C. Elston S.B.

One of these was a Northern Indiana Conference championship. The golfers compiled an excellent 31-12 overall season record but could only manage a 4-5 mark in the NIC. In conference action, the golfers defeated Mishawaka, South Bend Washington, South Bend Clay, and South Bend LaSalle. They dropped matches to Penn, South Bend Riley, Elkhart Central, Michigan City Elston, and South Bend Adams. A second goal that was not met was that of keeping the number of losses under 10. As the last week of the season began, it appeared that the team could meet that goal, buta disappointing week that brought three wins and three losses kept that goal from the linksmen a There were several impre: individual accomplishments during the season, the foremost being Scott Welch’s record shattering round of 69 at the Wawasee golf club. It was also there that the team as a whole shot its best score of the year, with a total of 311. Welch led the team in average with a fine 79 mark. Welch, the team’s outstanding player, shot in the mid-seventies all season long. Co-captain along with Welch was Jon Raber. Raber provided good scores to support the team over the course of the son, with an average score of 81. Also providing some good rounds was Garry Karch, whose best round was a 77 against South Bend Washington at Elcona. Determination on his face, senior Jon Raber blasts out of a sand trap.

No one was quite sure at the beginning of the season how the roundballers would perform. Several top players had graduated, and many fans felt it would be a tough season for the Charger nine, but, due to the effort, determina- tion, and mental attitude of the team, it was one of the most successful seasons ever for a Charger baseball squad. Individually, there were many outstanding performances during the year. Senior right fielder Bill Sever was the dominant figure at the plate, batting over .550 conference action and over .500 in all play. Sever also set several school and city records. he set the city record for the most career triples early in the year, and also tied the city record for most consecutive hits in a streak that included a five for five Central game. In addition, the switch hitting-hitter set a record for most consecutive games hitting safely. Scott Siler, the team’s second baseman, set a mark for most consecutive times on base, with a total of 14 times in a row. Mark Salee, the ace of the Charger pitching staff, also set a record for most victories by any Memorial pitcher. Salee’s final tally was a sparkling 12-1. Other top hitters for the team were first baseman Brad Beaver, shortstop Mike Aaron, and third baseman Joe Montagano.
