What Seventies event will affect you the most in the Eighties? Marti Ludlow—Probably the decision on what my career will be. I want to be a manager of a nice restaurant. Steve Schemenauer—All the technology that was developed, like nuclear energy and com- puter science, will really change us. s Dorisanne Nielsen—Well, reaching the mid- point of my life means that I'm starting into the second half of my life. Harry Dancler—Definitely going to college. What I do there will set a pattern for what happens the rest of my life. Kim Pawlak—Well, I’m still not sure yet, but I’m planning to go to Purdue after I graduate. That will affect my whole life. Where Did The Seventies Go So Fast? 3 crook or a good president? Mike Wilsey—Probably a crook. Presidents are supposed to be above doing things like that. He betrayed the trust of the people. Maryellen O’Neil—A crook, I think. He didn’t really end the draft or the war. Congress helped him a Jot. Richard Lutey—lI believe he will get his respect back. Look at what happened in Ken- tucky—they named a gym after him. Patrice Pyles— Well, I think a crook. He really blew it when he lied to the people. I'll always think of him as a crook. Greg Baxter—He didn’t stop the war by him- self, and he was in charge of Watergate. He'll never be liked by the peopla again. 4 Where Did The Seventies Go So Fast? In 50 years, will Nixon be thought of as a In their best selling book Bernstein and Wood- ward told of the events that led to the political destruction of Richard Nixon. America set its sights past the moon as the space shuttle, which will be used for outer space travel, was tested. Seventies change U.5. It seems like just last week we were picking up the paper off the front step, opening it, and then picking ourselves off the front step after we read about Agnew’s resignation, Patty Hearst being recaptured, Son of Sam killings. But before we knew it, the Seventies were over. Can you remember when 1970 first pushed its way into our lives? The first new decade for most of us. Nixon and Watergate head the list as earthshakers. After all, American presidents don’t get involved in scandal and don’t resign every day of the year. For those who were not so Cities and towns all around the nation celebrated the Bicentennial in much the same way—music, crowds, and fireworks. concerned with matters of state, there were hula hoops, yo-yos, | and ‘‘back-to-nature’’ move- ments. The little old lady down - the street shrieked with disgust as shameless streakers ran past her window, waving and yelling. This act took real guts but meant that the streaker belonged to an elite group of brave exhibition- ists. People come and go to their 9- 5 routines, but before students know it, everyone says, “It seems like just yesterday we were hear- ing about Renee Richards, pet rocks, and the Canary Islands plane crash. What happened to all those years?”’ Where Did The Seventies Go So Fast 5 Elkhart did its share da} its share of gr A | DR ate ts es a ey During the years the United States and the world were changing and growing, so was Elkhart. Mayor Daniel Hayes ini- tiated a “Beautify Elkhart’ cam- paign, which sparked projects such as, among other things, _ flower boxes on Main Street and an expansion of the city’s park system. Two Osceola girls and their cousin were burned to death on U.S. 33 when the Pinto they were riding in was rammed from behind, causing it to explode. Repercussions from the crash were heard far beyond Elkhart, though. An Elkhart county grand jury indicted the Ford Motor Looking a little more like a dirt pit than an auditorium, workmen raced the clock to install 1,332 seats when Memorial was built. The deaths of two Osceola girls and their cousin was only the spark behind the fire. Ford Motor Company was charged with homicide.

According to county prosecutor Michael Cosentino, who headed the jury, “This is the first time in Ameri- can history a corporation has been charged with homicide.” During this decade Elkhart’s only high school was getting too crowded. The obvious solution popped up: build another high school to hold all the students. A special committee of students and teachers came up with the name that would, for more than 1,500 students annually, mean “my school, the best school”— Memorial! No matter how many years go by, kids will always find things to do, places to go, and seasons to do them in. How would you change ‘boring’ Elkhart? Tim Marvel—A place where we could have more sports like hockey, so we wouldn't have to go all the way to the ACC. Kim Washington—Definitely a disco. People love to dance, and they could go here and meet their friends. Frank Catanzarite—Elkhart could use some sports for outside of school, like flag football for anyone who wanted to play. | Cindy Simper—Elkhart needs more places for young people after games and dances, like youth centers. Warren Swartz—lIf you ask me, I don't think Elkhart IS boring. We've got two great high schools, and lots of places to go. Where Did The Seventics Go So Fast? 7 H Styles—the long and short of it The fashions of the Seventies found everything from the mini skirt to the midi, from elephant ear jeans to straight leg Levi's, saddle shoes to clogs. In the early Seventies the mini skirt hit new heights as girls everywhere were showing more leg. Then hemlines dropped drastically and in came the midis, which are still popular today. Straight leg jeans, which became popular in early 1977, caused the previous elephant ear jeans to shrink. Ano ther fad item of apparel 10 seventies fashions that had a short life was toe socks, which kept the feet warm but were tough to put on. We took a step backward in time with the wearing of saddle shoes. What was in during the Fifties was back again. Hair was at the mercy of the scissors as it went from long and parted on the side to short and cut close to the face. It fluctuated from Afros to the frizzy look, pageboys to feathered bangs. Change was the one word that characterized the styles of the Seventies. Tear-drop, black plastic rim, and “granny” shaped glasses were what American girls were seeing out of during the early Seventies. Believe it or not, this mini skirt was “the thing” to wear in the early Seventies. They made a hit with men, but didn’t last long. ee = ee ey verre Four Les teenagers show what the well- dressed high school student wore in 1971. Obvi- ously, changes have occurred. Two results of Seventies fashions for feet were saddle shoes, a throwback from the Fifties, and toe socks.

Channel 34 had it built to improve their broadcasting power.” “Well, okay, but I’ve noticed a lot of other new things around here. The football team has new uniforms, and the band has new uniforms, auxiliary, a new show, AND a new name—The Crimson Charger Command. The wres- tling, football, boys tennis, girls swimming, and both basketball teams have new coaches; so Memorial fans should be looking forward to some real excitement this year.” “Yeah, I can’t wait! And all those little sophomores running around. Then again, everybody’s running around, thanks to the new three-tardy maximum rule.” “That’s a pain. But Free Fare and the dance specialists have made me forget about some of my troubles. Who would have believed a high school kid like me could both juggle and jive?” “Hey, look at me!” boasts Greg Thorne, as he amazes Carlos Uribe, Jeff Beggs, Greg Luebke and Chris Butler with his juggling prowess.

There were many factors con- tributing to the new image of the band. The band donned $25,000 worth of new uniforms, finally giving every member the same style of attire. Another change was the fusion of the flag corps and drill team into one corps, and the girls proved the intelli- gence of this decision by winning the outstanding drill team award at the Chesterton Invitational. There was only one more wrinkle in the transformation, and this was ironed out when the band took the field at the The saxophones file out for their feature in ‘“Tux- edo Junction” while the color guard prepares to lay their flags down for their dance.

Donald Litherland prepared the Jazz Band and Orchestra for their part in the program. Doing all of the choreography for the Varsities and Drill Team was Roberta Litherland. Kellie Reed, a dancer in the disco number, thought the “rehearsals were hard, but fun learning it and being in the show.” John Lund directed the singing of the Varsi- ties. First hour, as well as eve- nings and weekends, were used to learn songs and dances. “In order to have a good show, everyone must give their all in a performance. The Varsities, Jazz Band, Orchestra and Drill Team did just that,’ said one member of the Drill Team. Tom Rowe, Jazz Band mem- ber, commented, “It takes a com- VARSITY SINGERS: FRONT ROW—Joan Quinlan, Nafe Alick, Lori Miller, Raul Castillo, Dede Lovejoy, Chuck Sanders.

Costumes mis- tress Mrs. Mary Lou Massey and seamstress Mrs. Betty Beaver did a “super job with the costumes,” complimented Mr. Lund, ‘‘and they get better every year.” Unique lighting techniques added to the show, thanks to Mr. Ivan Ronk, who supervised. Accompanist Mrs. Dede Spano contributed her piano playing at rehearsals and in the show.

Rehearsing during first hour, the string orchestra prepares for the songs they will play in the second half of Kaleidoscope. Accompanying the Varsities in the first half of the show is the trombone section of the Jazz Band. There are 18 people in the band. Backstage crews are as important as the perform- ers. Mel Cranmer works in the control booth to make sure the show runs smoothly. kaleidoscope 21 Jazz, classical, disco, rock music balance show Equal amounts of different types of music balanced out the fifth annual Kaleidoscope. The Jazz Band provided the jazz with a Chicago medley. Soloists were Keith Treadway, Andy Holtz, Ty Miller, and Sue Schultz. Roberta Litherland choreo- graphed the classical dance number, a ballet routine to the theme from Masterpiece Thea- tre. Lisa Culp, Sharon Osowski, and Jan Ronk were accompanied by the orchestra.

Dimwitty lost the election. King accepts changes This year’s Children’s Theater production, The Changing Times of King Cornelius, takes place during the time in which it was believed that the king’s word was absolute rule. The show was presented twice to the general public and twice to fifth grade students. According to Mrs. Jack Strain, director, Children’s Theater accomplishes several things. ‘'It introduces young children to the experience of attending the thea- ter, it rounds out the dramatics program at Memorial, and it gives more kids a chance to par- ticipate because of double cast- ing. It is also something really different to be in.” Marching for Mr. Nalloty are Raymond (Nafe Alick), Jennie (Kim Pawlak), Crystal (Dede Love- joy), and Dimwitty (Bill Stubbs).

This year the Madrigals were invited to perform a short version of the royal dinner at the Greencroft Center, and then caroled at two banks. They performed the music for TV on AMichiana. The full dinner was given the 21st in the cafeteria, with candles, fruit, and medieval crests adorning the tables. Christmas at Memorial also means the annual NHS Wishing Well to collect money for the needy. The student center found itself with a new Christmas tree decorated in crimson and gold candy canes and Charger heads. The junior class decorated the bulletin board wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

The final bell sounded, every- one went home, or did they? What really went on after 2:50? There was always something to do, whether it was cruising Main Street, hanging out at the malls, seeing a movie, eating at a fast food place or going to a party. Dances were planned for those who loved to “boogie,” either at school or the Disco Drop-In at the YMCA. Rock groups like Yes, Aeros- mith, Foreigner, The Beach Boys, John Denver, and even Steve Martin performed at the Notre Dame ACC. An avid concert goer said he saw aS many concerts as he could ‘“‘to get down on some tunes!” night life 33 Desperately trying to get hold of her husband, Mrs. Stephenson (Dede Lovejoy) is terrorized by the murder plan she overhears.

Long as it holds together, we ain’t gonna change it.” —The Lottery Mr. Rex Gleim, director of the winter show, would not have fit into that way of thinking. Gleim incorporates new ideas into his productions. This year the choice of three one-act thrillers entitled “A Chilling Experience,” over the usual three-act drama was his first major change. Cast members liked this set-up. As Dede Lovejoy said, “You have one-third the rehearsal time and you don’t know the other plays as well, so there is something new to see.” From the stagehand’s view, three plays brought about new complications in lighting, stag- ing, and sound, but Gleim and his crew came up with some imaginative ideas to offset these. “The first couple of rocks in The Lottery that were thrown were real so they would make a sound onstage. We wanted the audi- ence to feel the rocks were real; Carrying the stone she will throw at the lottery’s next victim, a village girl (Kim Snellenberger) watches the traditional drawing. While Mrs. Strain applies his make-up, Nafe Alick begins to get into the character of John Gresham by “thinking old.” to experience the death of Cathy,” said Gleim. In Lockerbee, the use of spe- cial staging permitted a “spirit” to rise from the dead. Because of Sorry’s unique composition, the crew created a unit set depicting seven different locations in the city. Darkness covered the stage as the players moved into their positions. When a character on stage began his cutting, a spotlight sur- “ounded him until he finished nis role. For the third year, heavy snows brought a cancellation of one of the performances of the show, and the cast had the usual difficulties of getting everyone to the same place at the same time. One drama tradition could not be overlooked—performer’s but- terflies. Speaking about his two- sizes-too-big pants, Brad Karch exclaimed, “I knew everything would go fine if my pants didn’t fall down!” They didn't.

The characteristic cou- ples’ dancing of the Pretzel and the dirty boogie of the Freak brought flavor to this new wave | of body reveling. On the light | fantastic toe tripped many a gro- | over to such names as Donna Summer, the Bee Gees, Gloria Gaynor, and Chic. The tunes these performers put out added spice and vivacity to radio pro- grams and discotheques. Preferring its upbeat style, Tammy Niggebrugge declared, “With disco music, dancing looks so much more like dancing. People just move with rock and roll, but with disco, it’s more choreographed.” “T like disco music with a lot of action, rhythm, and beat,” exclaimed Mike Beausir, although he admitted, I would rather dance to mellow rock—I can only do so much disco.” To a discotheque, the YMCA, or a high school dance is where dance enthusiasts sallied forth, yet why they endured hours of ca gyrating while bright lights flashed in their eyes and music resounded in their ears was an interesting question. Exclaimed Jennifer Reed, “Dancing is a lot of fun and it’s a way to meet people. You feel uninhibited and you can talk to people easier, get acquainted.” “Disco brings couples closer together, more than rock and roll does,” states Brent Gilmore. “Dancing lets you do things you wouldn't ordinarily do in front of people.” says Joan Met- calf. “It frees your soul!” ! a a.

By the way, what's for dinner?” This turnabout scene was heard in many homes from Sep- tember 25-29. More than 234 par- ents attended classes for or with their children for Trade-a-day. Carol Pawlak, who came to school for her daughters Kim and Margie, felt that school ‘now’ is more fun than when she went, and added, “I wish I was back!”’ Sometimes the change was complete and the students took the parents’ jobs. Beth Streich emceed the radio talk show “Sound-Off,” a small part of her 38 trade-a-day father Allen Streich’s job for WTRC. “The most exciting part of the job was knowing that thousands of people in Elkhart were listening to me!” said Beth. Mr. Streich had a tough morning. ‘“T had to confess that ‘Yo no hablo Espanol’ in Spanish sec- ond hour, and then in third hour it was ‘Yo no hablo geometry either!” “T was impressed with Trade- a-day,” commented Jena Mayer’s mother, Jeanne. This opinion was shared by most of the parents who attended. Tom Romberger, substituting for daughter Jodi, stated, “I hada great time and students here at Memorial are just super!” According to Allen Streich, “Going to school is tough work, but lunch is easy work! Only three hours to go after I finish eating!” No, it's not edible. Yes, it's a mountain of ice- cream! Steve Smith hands the brush to his mother, Nita, so she can add the final touch. WTRC’s “Sound-Off” had a new host on Trade-a- day—Beth Streich, who thought the callers’ ques- tions were ‘very interesting.” As Mrs. Roberta Litherland provides a steadying hand, Irene Hinks finds out archery is not an easy sport to master.

These jobs may not be the exact position in which they are interested, but, as a stu- dent put it, “This way I’m able to get a feel of what I can expect in the future and find out for sure if this is really what I want to do.” Getting this early experience can open more doors and yield greater opportunities in future employment than would be available for the student with no previous experience. Employers also find this a decisive factor in hiring. A local personnel man- ager stated, “When judging the qualifications of a prospective employee, ambition and the ini- tiative to work are the basic qualities I look for. Previous experience gives the applicant better chances of being placed in the position he desires.” A Certified Financial Planner is the profession Liz Lucenko is aiming for. She now works part- time doing bookkeeping for her father. Giving private lessons at Gene Van's Conserva- tory of Music is a learning experience for both Sue Willard and her students. Dale Cornish shows one of the basic kicks to Mike Hamm. Karate techniques will be beneficial since he plans to be a security guard. 40 working The animals may be cute, but Kim Pawlak could tell you that working at the Animal Care Clinic requires much hard work and dedication.

Hundreds of people are killed in automobile- related accidents yearly. So, why take the risk? Why spend the money? Dennis Marks stated, ‘Because it gets me from one place to another.” Basically, the car is the most efficient and inexpensive way to get around Elkhart. Approxi- | mately 77 percent of Memorial students have taken Drivers’ Education for high school credit. Of that 1,000 students, only 52 percent have their licenses. Most people enrolled in the class take it as a sophomore and must wait to get their license. The most common reason for getting the license is independ- ence. That way they will not need to rely upon rides from their parents and friends. Amy Sibley drives to school for a rea- son shared by many, “I hate to ride the bus.” It costs on the average $750 to $1000 to drive a car annually. Money goes for the basic needs of gas and maintenance and the optional insurance. Most stu- dents, in order to afford a car, must get a job. Monica Karasch finds it difficult to “afford the maintenance and other personal luxuries all at the same time.” Maryellen O’Neil hit it on the nose when she said, “It’s a big responsibility.” Certainly there are advantages and disadvantages to everything. The car is no exception. For some the car is practical. Mike Lussier sees his car as “one of the fastest means of transportation.” It takes 25 to 30 minutes to get to school by bus, whereas it takes only 15 minutes by a car. Jackie Kidder also sees the practical side to her car. “A car is a very special and necessary thing to have, but a car is nothing but a danger when you don’t use common sense and maturity.’ There is a lighter side to the automobile. Kathy Neely drives because “I enjoy driving,’ and Robbin Booze comments, “I get tired of walking.” For the comfort and conven- ience of owning a car, MHS stu- dents must sacrifice many vital needs. Patrick Conlisk sees the danger to your health after an extended time. “Driving leads to laziness.” Extracurricular activities require transportation to and from school. Brian Young, if he had his own car, says, “My mom won't have to come get me from athletic practices every day.” Overall, the advantages and disadvantages weigh themselves out. Jim Rader sees the humor of it all and captures the sentiments of car drivers everywhere. “Vroom! Vroom! Rev-it-up!”’ cars 43 The price of living is on the rise Inflation—the household word of nearly every American during the Seventies. As the minimum wage rose from $2.65 to $2.90, prices increased at a whirlwind rate. Fuel, for instance. Price experts predicted gasoline prices to reach a dollar per gallon in the spring of ’79. With gas already at 72-75 cents per gallon in Febru- ary, students especially were experiencing a heavy financial drain. Carol Hardy said, “Almost all the money I earn goes to pay for gas, and I don’t have much left for the other things I want to buy.” Reasons for the sky-high prices were many. The political unrest in Iran, the raise by OPEC in world import oil prices, and Full stomach more important than high price, Jeff Miller decides on the cheapest way to purchase his lunch at McDonald's. 44 inflation the lack of domestic fuel supplies all ‘‘worked together’ on the draining of America’s wages. Meanwhile, the cost of keep- ing one’s self fed and clothed presented another obstacle. Food prices increased by as much as 200 percent in some areas of the. country. McDonald’s raised its prices, much to the dismay of the average high school lunch-goer. Big Mac climbed from 75 cents to 90 cents, and those who picked a Quarter Pounder with cheese as their favorite were paying 5 cents short of a dollar. At the supermarket, no one expected to pay less than $10 for two sacks of groceries. Switching from the edible to the wearable, students could not find a fashionable pair of blue jeans for under $20. Prices for “nice” clothes, such as suits and dresses were often close to $75 or more for a complete outfit. Students were also particu- larly upset with the increase in the price of movies, from $3 to $3.50. Lisa Hamood commented, “T really don’t want to go to see a movie if it’s going to cost that much.” Activities Director Alice McKeehan said, “You’ve got to learn to spend your money more sensibly. A budget is more important than ever, and we may have to give up many more things than we might be used to.” ” ey ’ ome Ty Miller fills up his car with the few dollars he can afford.

The spotlight in early 1979 was on the mid-eastern country of Iran, the political unrest there and the one man who had seized the spotlight and turned it into a halo in the eyes of the people— the Moslem leader Ayatollah Khomeini. Khomeini took over the government of the Shah, who left on an “extended vacation” in January, to the rejoicing of the Iranians, long tired of the dicta- torial rule of the Shah. The gov- ernmental change meant many things to the United States, including cancellations of orders for fighter planes, made by the Shah, and a rise in the price of oil, particularly gasoline. Nationally, Democrats contin- ued to dominate both the House and the Senate after the Novem- ber elections, and President Car- ter continued to lose popularity with the American public after peaking during the Camp David summit negotiations.

Pitts- burgh won the Super Bowl, and USC and Alabama battled for the number one spot in the post- season college polls, with each taking one of the major news sources, AP and UPI.

What are we going to do with a science laboratory out- doors?” “Basically, it will be used to study things now taught indoors which will be better taught out- doors,” said Mr. Gilbert Streeter, school system coordinator of the Cooper Science Laboratory. Donated partially by Mr. George Cooper, the lab is 20 acres of serene woods, tall grasses, and cool pondwater. Dedicated on October 15, the lab is the result of two years of designing, creating, and clearing of the area into a useful, organ- ized learning. An estimated total of 1,000 student and staff hours was spent in getting the lab into its present condition. The sopho- more classes of 1980 and 1981 helped clear a section of the field 48 cooper science lab for construction of the fence. The EACC Building Trades I class constructed the storage shed and the shelter, and the toi- let, built at the Indiana State Prison, was erected by Macum- ber Construction. The outdoor lab contains a .4 acre area for horticultural plantings. A sepa- rate section of the area will be dug up each year to see how plant life progresses over a period of 20 years. The lab also contains a device to measure amounts of pollution in the air. “It is estimated that there are about 12 outdoor labs like Cooper Science Lab in the state,” said Streeter. “Hopefully, it will teach the kids an appreciation of nature, of plant and animal life. We are proud to have it in our backyard.” Shining over the pond waters, the sun provides proof of the clean air which will be tested by the air pollution testing device. a 8s SOP WT 2 aes ‘ 2s a, 75 a al ; “COOPER — SOENCE “LABORATORY afters WHE ene ee who first had - the idea” ‘for the lab, Gdoper Science Laboratory pene ape forall Elkhart schools.

Students were participating, instead of protesting; the bridge over the “generation gap’ was clear to see, and sit-ins were ancient history. Dr. David Flora, one of the student counselors, said that a positive student atti- tude toward activities has been achieved: “Definitely students are more interested in becoming involved as they were when I was in high school.” Cheerleader’s spirit is often taken for granted, but Joanne, Keri, Peggy, Jackie and Celisse feel hard work pays off with crowd response.

Where Did The Seventies Go So Fast) 51 Band regains momentum What is it that makes a student want to play an instrument for a few hours every day? What makes that same musician devote a half hour at each dress rehearsal to prepare for a con- cert, not to mention the hours of private practice or lessons? Whatever it is, it motivated one tenth of Memorial’s population to participate in the many band activities offered. Individual effort was evident with 81 students participating in NISBOVA solo and ensemble contest. The highlights of this year’s band season was marching in the Indianapolis 500 parade and per- forming with a band from Ontario province in Canada at the spring concert.

Just hold your nose and sing real loud.” “Hold my nose? That’s just too cute. Got any other suggestions?” Performing makes it fun “Well, you could try a quick Latin class, or maybe Mr. Lund could give you a few pointers. Sooner or later your vocal chords will have to get used to it, So goes the dilemma of a vocal student preparing for the Christ- mas concert candlelight proces- sional. Before learning to sing in Latin, however, the choir starts from the basic warm-up. Exer- cises for the voice, mouth, and breath are used so the sound has the best tone and blend possible. The group also practices melody, harmony, and time patterns. Extra time is spent when a new singing language is introduced. (“I don’t care what it means, just so I can sing it.”’) Besides singing in the large group, students are involved in the vocal portion of the Northern Indiana School music contests. It is possible to participate in large groups as well as solos and small ensembles. First place winners can participate at the state level. Though choir presents the challenge of new music and the threat of a language ‘““nobody”’ knows how to speak, choir mem- bers say the opportunity to per- form makes it all worthwhile.

If she approves it, then it goes to Dr. Mart for final approval,” explains Lieutenant Governor Cathy Holtz. This year’s Student Govern- ment has sponsored two dances, collected canned goods for the needy at Christmas time, and helped boost Charger spirit by renting a plane to fly spirit ban- ners. Student Government, in order to represent and provide the activities students are inter- ested in, needed tremendous stu- dent support. “T think that since Student Government got more involved and made people more aware of their purpose, it made them more successful than previous Student Governments,’ commented Mike Shari Markham is invited to join Free Fare’s lead [,ussier. singer on stage.

When put together with the word “team, we have that organization known as the speech team. The ’78-'79 team consisted of about 30 members who partici- pated in a number of varied events. Each member picked his or her specialty and entered into competition. The top f ive or eight in each event were pre- sented ribbons and the top three or five teams with trophies. The meets all took place on Satur- days and often required the members to be at school and ready to leave by 6:30 a.m. Since the season was a long one, consisting of 10 meets drawn out through the entire year, the opportunity presented itself to earn many ribbons and NFL points. The top five ribbon winners and their respective events were Dede Lovejoy, drama and humor; Harold Mar- tin, extemporaneous’- and impromptu; Ron New, radio; Lynn Stevens, original oratory and oratorical interpretation; and Todd Sullivan, extemp and impromptu. Other events were drama duo, discussion, and poetry. Funding for the season was provided early in the year with a dance featuring Runner.

After days and long nights of preparation, how did Mrs. Strain feel when opening night finally arrived? ‘‘Fatigued.

These members, along with the 27 already inducted, accom- plished a number of projects including some that were new to the organization. Responding to outdoor lab supervisor Gilbert Streeter’s needs, the N.H.S. members bought and planted 12 posts and wrote 12 different summaries for a self-guided outdoor lab tour. N.H.S.-donated $55 to the Association for the Disabled of Elkhart County which will ena- ble one child to go to summer camp for one week. During American Education Week, teachers and administra- tors were honored by the mem- bers with a carnation. N.H.S. continued the placement of edu- cational posters throughout the school, and the tutoring of stu- dents for American Education Week. Some members got into the Christmas spirit by ringing bells for the Salvation Army, raising $155. The g roup continued the sponsorship of the Wishing Well and the Toys for the Poor.

We also sponsored the Sadie Haw- kins.” Pep Club members needed loyalty, dedication and enough Charger spirit to move moun- tains, said president Andrea Mollo.

Whether it be a tip-off, a serve, Or a Kick-oll. each and every sport must have a begin- ning. But the work that goes into that beginning is often over- looked. The preparation which takes place for that single moment begins months before for some. The average athlete at Memorial puts in approximately 100 hours of work before that beginning. At Memorial an athlete has an excellent base to begin training, including an indoor track, three basketball courts, a wrestling room, a fully-equipped weight room and a mirrored dance studio. The Memorial pool, equipped with $12,000 electronic timers, is one of the better pools in the state. Assistant athletic director Mrs. Phyllis Tubbs says, “As many as eight different ath- letic practices can take place in our facilities without any con- flicts.”’ To begin each sport, hours of work are also done by the coach- ing staff at Memorial. According to football coach Dale Rems, “The planning that takes place before a game is the toughest part of the game itself.’ The work that is put into that begin- ning is often much more exten- sive than it seems, but for most it is all worth it for that single moment: a beginning.

The offensive unit, led by quarterback Robert Booze scored 180 points, the most ever by a Charger team. When asked about the defensive effort Jim Woodka stated, “We worked well together as a team. Everybody was ready to win.” Memorial outscored the oppo- nent 180-119. Although the team worked well together, there were still individual standouts. On offense, Terry Peoples led the team in rushing with 641 yards, followed closely by Mark Bryson with 613. With that accomplishment Peo- 80 football ples became the third leading rusher in Memorial history. He also led the team in scoring with 52 total points. Mike Gary, a two- way player was named the Most Valuable Player by the Elkhart Truth. Gary also led the team with the most pass completions. He was also named All-Confer- ence defensive halfback and achieved All State status at that position. Brent Spring was awarded the Glenn Silcott award for Outstanding Defensive Line- man. On defense Pat Melkus was named All-Conference for defen- sive guard while Jim Woodka was named middle guard. Woodka also received the Glenn Silcott award for defensive line- man. Woodka led the team in tackles and most tackles for a loss. Mike Brewers recovered eight fumbles for the Charger defense. Co-captains for the Chargers were Booze and Gary. “Beating Mishawaka was probably the most rewarding part of the season,” was Coach Dale Rems’ comment. “To beat a good football team when they have a large staff is very satisfy- ing.’ When asked about his team’s performance Rems com- mented, “No one was counting on us to be in the picture this year, but our kids worked hard in the off-season and during the regular season.

The JV’ers played every team the varsity did except for Ft. Wayne Northrop. Junior Varsity competition is designed to give the needed experience to younger players, most of whom are sophomores. Thirteen players doubled as JV and varsity players, giving the JV team the needed experience and additional strength to come out winners.

The netters advanced to the sectional semi- finals by defeating Northridge. The team was then defeated by Central, 4-1. Playing well together toward the end of the season, the netters won five of their last six matches. Brad Karch, number two singles player, said that team spirit, which improved greatly toward 86 tennis the end of the season, helped the record. David Kuo was elected most valuable player by a team vote. Kuo played at the number one singles position for the second straight year. Co-captains for the year were Jack Kelly and Dave Atwood.

That record is also the best during Memori- al’s seven year history. In the NIC the team finished 4-5. According to first-year coach Steve Johnson, “Excellent team attitude, competitive practices and good balance” contributed to the winning cause. Balance, as Johnson stated, did prove to be important through- out the year, with many players earning high point player honors for the Chargers. Top individuals for the cagers, according to Johnson, were Rob- ert Lewis, ‘‘a sharp shooter’; Gary Knowles, ‘‘tough under the boards’; Mike Gary, ‘‘an all around player’; Loren Littleton, “an explosive guard”; and Garret Skipper, ‘‘a well balanced player.” Johnson stated, “Our game plan gave each player a chance to do his own thing and play as a team at the same time.” Quickness highlighted the sea- son for the Chargers, who led by speedy guards Littleton and Lewis, outscored many oppo- nents by large differences. “Hav- ing quick guards helped us out tremendously this year,’ John- son commented. Height could have proved to be a disadvantage, but with high- jumping Mike Gary and Gary Knowles, the cagers weren’t overpowered on the boards. Johnson said, “Our height did not hinder us at all; with Mike’s and Gary’s jumping ability, we did fine on the rebounding. ”’ Coach Johnson summed up his feelings on the season by stating, “T think we had an excellent year; we didn’t get upset by any- body, but we did pull a few upsets ourselves.

Teamwork played a major role in the Chargers’ first tournament win since 1973.

Another JV player mentioned, “After the loss of Tony (Gary) and Rosey (Lewis), the team was led by Charlie Fulmer.” The team suffered a last sec- ond loss to Clay in which Fulmer led all scorers with 17 points.

Year round the athletic train- er’s room is filled with athletes. Thousands of yards of athletic tape are used each year. Accord- ing to student trainer Jeff Morris, “We go through more tape around here than anything else. It’s used for everything from football helmets to ankles.” Athletes at Memorial are served by what coach Dale Rems judges as ‘“‘an excellent staff”: students Karl Geisel and Morris and certified trainer Bill “Doc” Evans. In football much of the work goes on during the off-season. Most of the equipment is sent away for repairs and clean-up while helmets are fitted for next year’s team. New equipment is also ordered, and a all-around clean-up occurs. Much of the work is done by student manag- ers who also serve in other capacities during the season. As in most sports, uniforms have to be washed and this is one of the manager’s duties. Not only are the uniforms washed, basketballs and foot- balls both get periodical clean- ings to insure a good grip. Man- agers are also responsible for keeping statistics at games, a job which often requires a calcula- tor. For all sports, major or minor, keeping the teams clean, fit, trained, healthy, informed and at peak performance are all major factors of a successful athletic program. 96 behind the scenes—sports Golf coach Gordon Byrd adjusts Mark Sweeney’s grip on the putter in anticipation of the coming spring golf season.

Among these were Jeff Rezutko cn the rings, Todd Borghesani on the side horse and Tom Herrli, rings. Herrli was the only Char- ger gymnast to go to state. According to Herrli, “You always have to be on your guard, because a routine is never pre- dictable.” Coach Dennis Wolf was pleased by the team’s showing this year. “I think that all in all, I’ve seen some of the best per- formances that I’ve seen for a long time.” The team finished fourth in the sectional competition, which was held at Concord. During a meet, Todd Borghesani observes how well a teammate is doing. Borghesani competed on the side horse. The high bar requires deep concentration and an extremely strong grip.

These sports come in many forms, organized and unorganized, from hockey to ping-pong. Although it is school related, skiing provides 40 Memorial stu- dents with an outside sport. The ski club takes weekly trips to an area ski resort whenever weather conditions make it possible. But just because the school didn’t sponsor it didn’t mean it wasn't fun.

The general feeling of the stu- dent body was that intramurals provide those who don’t play in varsity sports a chance to com- pete and have fun with other stu- dents. Most students also felt that the intramural sports were a good way to let off the steam built up during the morning. Intramural sports are the semi- organized, amateur competitions that take place during the lunch hour. The competition includes volleyball, water polo, basket- ball, soccer, and ping-pong. “Naturally, when you win you feel very happy,” said senior Jeff Morris, “but sometimes you feel sorry for the other team. The joy usually overcomes this. When you lose, well, naturally, you feel kind of bad.” James Powers, Memorial’s ath- letic director, cited the same rea- sons as the students, and added one more, “. . . as in anything, whether job or school, people have the desire and need to do something other than their regu- lar work.” 112 intramurals man performs a one-handed spike on mpbell, as Jim Rader looks on and hopes he doesn't get stepped on.

The turbulent times of the Six- ties led school personnel to new methods of instruction, including team teaching and open class- rooms. As one teacher saw it, “Throughout the past 20 or 30 114 Where Did The Seventies Go So Fast? years education has gone from teaching only the basics to giving attention to the individual and less group discipline to more dis- cipline for a better education.” Dorisanne Nielsen stated, “The business community and the parents of the kids insisted that teaching attitudes had to change to improve learning.

Where Did The Seventies Go So Fast) 115 Communication between students in the hall and those in class are a problem for teachers because there are no doors to close. The control board in the TV studio monitors the entire closed-circuit system although many class- rooms are without television sets. The lecture rooms in A-block, originally designed for the modular scheduling system, are now used for study halls and sleep. 116 seventies education | Modular concept never use Most people who attend or visit the Memorial school facili- | ties know that, physically, the _ school has some unique features, at least for the Michiana area. Memorial was designed at a time when education in general was attempting to make the transition from the basics of reading, writ- | ing, and arithmetic to a modular, freer learning system with some of the educational responsibili- ties taken away from the teach- ers and put in the hands of the students themselves. The trans- ition was never completed and the modular system tha t was to aid this philosophy at MHS never became a reality. Mrs. Eleanor Losure, a mem- ber of the Memorial language | arts department, thinks the rea- son for the lack of this system belongs with the students. “T guess it’s just that the kids aren't as mature as we thought they would be. The original con- cept was for more freedom in the classroom, thus the open library, no doors, etc., but kids would sneak out of the rooms, library books were stolen, and the car- pet in the halls didn’t dampen sound like it was originally plan- ned to do. It’s just the difference between the drawing board and reality.” Most teachers agree that the rooms without doors were a mis- take, even though it did save on the original construction costs of the building. Mrs. Dorisanne Nielsen, also a member of the language arts department, feels part of the reason for the aboli- tion of the modular scheduling system is the students’ parents. Parents want more structured classrooms, unlike the open school concept. That was a kind of a Vietnam youth rebellion with the administration caught in the middle. It’s really too bad. We have all those specialized classrooms and they’re hardly ever used.” Attempting to use the open library concept in conjunction with the audio-visual medium to teach classes is another feature designed into the school build- ing. Unfortunately, the whole system was under-staffed from the day the school opened, and the closed-circuit TV system was not used to its potential. Today about half the television receiv- ers have been removed from the classrooms because of vandal- ism and misuse. The TV studio is still occasionally used, mainly by speech and drama students. Probably the greatest factor in determining whether the open class concept would work at Memorial was the size of the teaching staff. “We were told in February or March of 1972 that we couldn't have the resource personnel that we needed in order to start the modular scheduling program. The upper library remains unused for the seventh consecutive year. Originally it was designed for use with the science department. d at Memorial We were all ready to go with the system until this happened, and we had to drop the whole thing. We decided that we shouldn't start if we couldn't give the kids the help they needed in the library and other areas of the building. “We do have what is called horizontal scheduling in some of the algebra and geometry classes, with two or three teach- ers instructing the same group of kids, each doing his speciality, whether it’s lecturing, problem solving, or whatever. This is the closest we have come to the rigi- nal concept the school was designed for,’ commented Alice McKeehan, activities director, about the modular scheduling system. Getting the ninth graders into Memorial’s building is the big problem currently, McKeehan said. “There is a nationwide trend to middle schools and four-year high schools, although it proba- bly won’t be incorporated into Memorial until 1981-82. We sim- ply can’t handle 450 more stu- dents in the present facility,” she added. In one decade the schools have gone from a three-year high school system and liberally structured classrooms to four- year schools and the three “R’s.” We have yet to see what the Eighties will bring to the educa- tion of our nation’s youth. seventies education 117 Mike Gary, Student Task Force member What is your opinion of the Task Force committee’s plan for integration? “Something should be done for more integration in the Elkhart Schools, and the Task Force plan is a good start. In my opinion, the only part of the plan that’s feasible is grade reorganization and new boundaries.” Dr. Palmer Mart, Principal Do Elkhart Schools really need an integration plan? “Statistics show there’s an imbalance in the Elkhart Schools, and it needs to be considered. The School Board must think about the Greater Elkhart commu- nity as well as the educational system.” 118 task force School board deliberates Task Force provisions “Keeping in mind what is best for the student, the Task Force sha ll study and develop a recom- mended plan program to achieve a means of greater inte- gration of the Elkhart Commu- nity Schools, primarily at the ele- mentary and junior high school levels.” Challenged with these objec- tives, the task force of interested citizens was named in 1977 to draw up a proposal which the school board began deliberating . in 1978-79. The proposed plan is split into three phases taking place through 1982. Phase I, 1980, involves grade reorganization, a magnet school, boundary changes, and or the transfer of junior high students. Phase II, 1981 continues to extend further all the actions of Phase I to achieve integration Alice McKeehan, Activities Director How would grade reorganization affect the activities in the high school? “We'd probably have to look toward more in-school activities for ninth graders since they can’t drive. In terms of group activities, more might have to be added for them. Changes would have to made for the increase in the size of groups we now have.” guidelines of 5-25 percent minor- ity enrollment. The bulk of action to integrate is postponed until Phase III of the plan, Fall, 1982. For Memorial, 1,900 students— freshmen through seniors— working in a building designed for 1800 is among possible results of Phase I if the proposal is implemented. Principal Dr. Palmer Mart said, “I believe in order to accommodate the extra students, additional classrooms must be added to the school. However, all existing facilities would be utilized.” For Elkhart students, the Eighties promise to be a period of change, whatever actions result from the school board’s handling of the Task Force’s rec- ommendations. Dr. Robert Franklin Assistant Superintendant Would Elkhart face legal action if an integration plan isn’t put into effect? “No one knows what kind, if any, legal action would happen. Courts aren’t as liberal about integration. If a suit is filed, they might credit us for trying and we'll have a plan to fall back on.” Among the Task Force’s Phase I proposals are plans for grade reor- ganization: elementary schools of kindergarten through fifth grades, middle schools of sixth through eighth grades, and high schools of grades nine through 12. The Task Force lists the following among the pros and cons: ADVANTAGES Both curricular and extracurricu- lar opportunities can be broad- ened for 9th graders. “There is a greater compatibility between 9-12 grade students than between 7-9 grade students. DISADVANTAGES Funding would be necessary to add space at Central High. Some 9th grade students are not sufficiently developed physically or psychologically to be in high school. There would be fewer leadership opportunities for 9th graders in high school. task force 119 Technology changed the lives would return home to Digital of American students during the Equipment Corporation.

Shaun Delaney, a senior, had his view of the EACC, “I feel the Career Center has opened doors to me that would have never been possible if I had not enrolled at the EACGa About 28 classes were offered at the Career Center, each class different and exciting. Tom Herrli, a junior, states, ‘‘The EACC has a good program for every career and I strongly recommend it to everyone. ” Tammie Basham and Cindi Hutsell, both juniors, com- mented, ‘We think the Career Center is great for when we grad- uate from high school. Each of us and many other students will have a license for our chosen profession.” Think about this. Instead of taking a release for a job for col- lege money, maybe the Career Center has just the right profes- sion for you. Richard Morrison commented, “The Career Center is half and even less the price of college, so if your career is offered at the EACC, why not take it?

Varied views led to crit- icisms and to many these manda- tory gatherings were seen as only “a way to get out of class.” Free Fare rocked the walls of the auditorium by opening the school year with a rock-n-roll preview. In addition to fascinat- ing the audience with their ren- dition of ‘Star Wars,” the music of the Seventies filled the audito- rium for lively third hour classes. Jennie Spesshardt expressed her excitement of the assembly by saying, “It really got you on your feet.” Bob Dion, on the other hand, clearly stated his opposing views: “Free Fare was too loud. Not everyone has the same musi- cal taste.” Jim Puckett, sponsored in part by Indiana and Michigan Elec- tric Company, brought to the Memorial stage a new look at “Energy—How To Conserve It.” Lori Wierzbicki disliked this assembly ‘“‘because I didn’t para the scientific aspect of it.” Lori Templeton liked “none of 128 assemblies, special guests them. They should have assem- blies that teach you something. Have ones that will keep the attention of everyone.” Dion disagrees: “Energy—very interesting. He kept it fast-paced and gave facts in an interesting way. I like audience participa- tion.” “It was neat to see all the old- timers, the movies I haven't seen,’ said Lynne Yoder after the Pepsi Cola and WRBR presenta- tion of ‘““America Laughs.” Joe Lichtner, WRBR disc jockey, answered student questions after the comedy film. The Round Robin assembly was open to some criticism. Terry thought, ‘‘The idea was good but the seating and organi- zation left something to be desired.” Protests throughout the assembly verified his observa- tions. Seating was scarce in the swimming and wrestling parts of the program. The pool area was too hot for the number of stu- dents and the length of the pro- gram in that area. Little Mary Sunshine, Memori- al’s choice for the annual musi- cal presentation, was previewed in March. Mrs. Jack Strain, direc- tor, believed that this was a good experience for the cast. Not only did this give them an opportunity to adjust to an audience’s reac- tion, but it also gave the students a look at what was going on at school. Besides, “it helps people see and appreciate the things our kids can do.” When asked if this promoted ticket sales, Mrs. Strain replied, “I think so.” Joan Kingston, movement spe- cialist from Salt Lake City, Utah, led dancing, juggling, and yoga during her six-day stay in the Lit- tle Theater.

Sue Smith, a senior, has been involved in art since seventh grade. She says, “I like art because of the way it expresses my feelings—it gives me a chance to know I can succeed at something I enjoy. Drawing is the medium I’ve worked most with, so I would have to say it’s my favorite. I plan to attend art school to prepare for my career.” Many students involved in the art department set their goals toward the Scholastic Arts Compe- tition, in January of each year. Gold key winners go on to national Lit tegyeit ities taf competition where prestige is the ultimate reward for the long hours of creativity. Marilyn Rehl paints a detail on her ceramic vase.

Todd Sullivan—Probably Jimmy Carter, since he helped Sadat and Begin with the peace talks. Marsha Burson—Martin Luther King. Even though he’s dead, his efforts for desegregation are still alive. Chuck Overmyer—I guess Henry Kis- singer. He took all those trips for peace and worked hard for it. Sean Washington—Begin and Sadat. I think it’s great the way they are willing to work for peace. Tony Borrelli—Definitely Anwar Sadat. I have the feeling he wants peace more than Begin does. 134 Where Did The Seventies Go So Fast?

The proposed Equal Rights Amendment, still struggling to be passed, Title Six, giving female athletes equal rights in the sports arena, and the closing of the gen- eration gap all helped eliminate differences between varied groups. Fulfilling a duty as “Team Spirit Person,” Jenny Cripe uses all her enthusiasm to cheer on a team- mate to a better finish. Where Did The Seventics Go So Fast) 135 Dr. Richard D.

Jensen, Mildred L. Principal Palmer E. Mart chose his position hoping that his efforts would make a positive difference to a great number of people. Carolyn Cook The Seventies emphasis on women’s rights is clearly demonstrated in Miss Caro- lyn Cook’s appointment as the new assistant principal. She enjoys the challenge of working in a position that so directly influences others. Cook is in charge of all stu- dent attendance and shares numerous other responsibili- ties with Dr. Gary Fry, vice principal. “Many times a student coming into my office is not 136 faculty as scared as he would be if he were meeting with Dr. Fry, because I’m a woman. I do feel I receive the same respect from staff members though,” she said. Before accepting her posi- tion as Assistant Principal, Cook was a teacher of typing and accounting and served as the business department chairperson. She has been here since the school opened in 1972. Sackett, Richard H. Sproull, Patrig A.

For seven years before that she was publications advisor at Crown Point High School. “Leaving my friends was probably the hardest thing in moving,” she said. “It was also difficult to switch from a weekly newspaper to a monthly newsmagazine, because the two are so com- pletely different to produce.” Since graduating from IU where she was the editor of the newspaper, Mrs. Dean has worked on various other newspaper staffs in addition to the two yearbook publica- tions. When asked why she teaches journalism, she rep- lied, “I feel that people need to be made aware of what’s going on around them, and journalism is a good way to do that. Besides, it’s fun!” Florence Gratzer says moving the book collection to Memorial was a major event of the Seventies. English teacher William Haslem sits silently pondering a question asked by one of his students. Eleanor Losure enjoys the friendli- ness of Memorial’s administration, faculty, and students. 138 faculty Janice Dean clocks speeches pre- sented by her required sophomore speech classes. Answering a student's question, Ed Nellist helps his composition class with their assignment. Dorisanne Nielsen explains part of the day's assignment to Sandy Lieu- rance in English class. Beth Nellist thought environmental concerns affected the world during the Seventies. Frank Catanzarite recalls the Six- ties’ horrors and feels the Seventies gave people time to forget. English teacher June Jarrett assists Frank Catanzarite with judging at speech meets. English teacher James Boyle enjoys the intelligent leadership of Dr. Palmer Mart and his staff. Larry Pio expresses to his students the need for good basic reading and study skill habits. “Auf Deutsch, bitte,’’ (In German, please) requests Phillip Brinson to his first-year German students. Tina Solomon and Spanish teacher Rita Raval total up the results from the cheese and sausage sale. Jim Tracy likes the challenge of working with a good staff and inquisitive young people. Drama teacher Coe Strain thinks man’s search for purpose in life became important in the Seventies. faculty 139 Team-teaching is a new approach in math instruction. Stanley Teal is a member of the algebra “team. The facilities of Memorial's building have made science teaching pleasur- able for Ronald Dannheiser. Carolyn Shelton, co-sponsor of NHS, is the only female teaching in the math department. “They're very special peo- ple,’ expressed Peter McCasland. Those special people are his daughters: Joan, born in 1970 and Anne, born in 1972. McCasland spends many hours with the girls. Among these times the favorite activity is swim meets, which he goes to with Anne to watch Joan compete. Anne, too, hopes to go into 140 faculty Peter McCasland competition some day. Both girls started swimming at an early age. He admits that the girls accompany him to school on Saturdays to prepare class projects to avoid the task of shopping, which both of the girls dislike. As McCasland puts it, being with young people, especially his own children, has “helped me stay young.” Calculators are necessary tools in science class. Peter McCasland dem- onstrates its proper use. Gilbert Streeter enjoys ‘the mystery and beauty of living things” through his life science classes. According to math teacher James Eger, a big change for Elkhart was Memorial's opening. Most physics students know Rich- ard Lutey well. He is the only teacher with just physics classes. Ted Noffsinger, a member of the math team-teaching program, also coaches cross country. A life science teacher in past years, James McPhee finds two physics classes very challenging. An overhead projector assists Dale Rems in the explanation of a stu- dent’s math problem. Co-sponsor of National Honor Soci- ety, James Mayes is also the math department chairman. Dennis Wolf, coach of the boys’ gymnastics and girls’ volleyball teams, examines a math problem. Francis Troyer enjoys ‘teaching in a room designed for teaching science” and air conditioning. faculty 141 Phyllis Tubbs One thing Phyllis Tubbs recalls about the Seventies is when she received her pilot’s license in 1973. Because of her limited time, she can’t fly as often as she would like, so she does most of her flying in the summer and early fall. She describes the changing trees as looking like a huge artist’s palette from up in the sky. Tubbs also feels that flying is safer than driving. ‘It would be nice to own my own plane, but it’s not in the immediate future.” Business Ed teacher, Gary Fileccia is also in charge of Distributive Ed Programs. Taking the responsibility of head basketball coach, Steve Johnson also teaches science classes. 142 faculty James Hales has double responsibil- ities as he teaches driver’s ed. and gym classes. With lots of Charger sports action, James Powers has a busy job as ath- letic director. Phyllis Tubbs pinpoints various I.H.S.A.A. rules. Tubbs helped start the Catherine Wolf award. Teaching gym, coaching gymnastics, and choreographing drill team keeps Roberta Litherland busy. “ASDF.JKL semi,” typing teacher Bruno Pikoriatis explains basic typ- ing fundamentals to his class.

Watts feels that the best way to solve any problem is through relationships. “The relationship could be a parent-child, teacher- student, worker-worker, family-religion, or friend- friend, no matter what the relationship, understand- ing is the key factor,’ she says. Watts tries to include these principles in every class but finds the most use in her Family Living courses. The point she finds most important is self � understanding: “You can’t Eola desl working with Barb get along in a family or Mitchell and Sandra Simon.

Not only because they’re the oldest, but seniors look to the future and set goals,’ was counselor Michael Lattimer’s description of the “typical senior.” He went on to say, ‘Seniors assumed the lead- ership, and it showed in the amount of spirit raised. Spirit pulled the school together, made it a more humanistic place. Kids are getting back into the spirit of winning and doing their own thing.” A senior agreed, saying, “There’s more good spirit. . .a lot came from President Mark Reda’s energy.’ Counselor Mary Harreld added, “Seniors were very well Incorporating all the proper parts of speech, Tom Rowe prepares a topic sentence for a paragraph in writing lab class. || organized.

A student must have had at least one full year of physical education during high school to graduate. Most students picked up half a year as a freshman at their junior high and the other half year as a sophomore at Memorial. The physical educa- tion department was quite broad and included tennis, volleyball, ping pong, gymnastics, and a favorite of many, swimming. While practicing the leg movements for a specific swim stroke, Arlena Shofner makes use of the paddle board.

Private enterprises and huge cor- porations alike depend on it as a way of enticing customers to buy. Shoppers themselves have changed over the years. The early consumer was content with a passing trader or familiar neighborhood shop. Today a wide variety of stores offer the average buyer anything from toothpaste to computers. Start- ing with a small cluster of stores, shopping centers began to spring up throughout the country. The shop ping mall was the newest innovation available to the area’s consumers. Between Concord 182 Where Did The Seventies Go So Fast? Business gears for future and Pierre Moran Malls more than 130 stores wait to cater to shoppers’ needs. Beautification and revitaliza- tion were the goals of the $4.5 million “Superblock” plan. Old fashioned street lamps and vari- ous planters were an initial step taken last year. Demolition began in October, its first victim being the former W. F. Lilly building. A modern restaurant- hotel was planned and many downtown businesses followed the trend by updating their exte- riors’ appearances. Hoping attractive surround- ings and a wide variety of goods will encourage an increase in sales, area businesses prepare for the future. Best known for “Plop plop, fizz fizz. . .”, Miles Laboratories, Inc. has helped put Elkhart on the map with its medicinal products. The former W. F. Lilly building is demolished, making room for structures scheduled for the $4.5 million Superblock plan. With construction completed in 1972, Concord Mall illustrates the latest trend—numerous enclosed stores joined by an indoor plaza. How are you coping with today’s ‘‘money crunch’? Jack Kelly—lIt’s real easy; I don't worry about it, but I’m not paying for a car though or any other big expense like that. Mark Kleppinger—My wife and I dis- pensed with luxuries we used to buy. During summer and other vacations, we take extra jobs. HORE ORL Kim Smith—I was doing okay with a job, but had to quit because of school activities. I’m lucky I have parents who help. SA _— o t 3s Te a : : ‘ ecece og Mike Eger—I don’t spend money on extra things. I don’t go to many mov- ies. I get an allowance, but it doesn’t buy much. Nancy Niblock—It’s a matter of pri- ority. I take care buying groceries. My dollar doesn’t go as far anymore. I’m more aware of energy.

You're always afraid that youre going to forget someone or spell his name wrong or some- thing dumb. So please have for- giveness if one of these things happens to you. The number one person to thank is C. B. Watterson, from the Indiana University Journal- ism Institute. When I was in a “writer's block” he got me out and helped greatly in forming this year’s book. Mr. Mosier lent his valuable time and talent to help us in the photography field. Who else but a photographer of the highest order would be willing to have a print ready by Friday of a picture assignment given to him on Thursday night? Mr. and Mrs. Ray Reas very generously donated a small refrigerator to A-104 to keep pop, film, yogurt, pickles, or whatever cold. Thanks to Dick Kennard, our Newsfoto representative, who helped us with all the difficult 220 index, thanks decisions that must be faced when planning a book. To the former Elkhart High School PENNANT annual 1971 and the former Jackson High School JACKSONIAN 1971 from which we borrowed Seventies styles pictures, thanks. Miss McKeehan. What can we say about a person who saved us from total despair so many times? No one else could answer questions like, “‘How many seats are there in the auditorium?”’ If you were one of the shocked innocent bystanders who was lit- erally dragged out of a classroom to answer an impossibly hard question and or get your picture taken even though your hair “is a MESS!”, or a teacher who once again had to go through the “‘pic- ture bit” for the yearbook for the nth year in a row, our most heartfelt gratitude to you. You are what this book is all about. pul foveror STAFF Editor-in-chief. . . Bill Lovejoy Managing Editor . . . Judy Sei- fert Sports Editor. . . David Findlay Advertising Manager. . .

Ever since the beginning, Memorial has been planned with student involvement in mind. During the organization stage when MHS was formed, a spe- cial student committee was appointed to aid in making deci- sions such as the school colors, crest, song, even the name. Today, students still work closely with the administration. They practice in the weight room. Students plan Memorial Balancing someone on your shoulders isn’t as easy as it looks, as the JV cheerleaders find out. Where Did The Seventies Go So Fast 221 Seniors basically design the bac- calaureate and commencement ceremonies. Juniors are in charge of the prom, and sophomores work with the faculty to plan the sophomore picnic. According to one student, “I think Dr. Mart and the adminis- tration are doing all they can to work and cooperate with the stu- dent body.” First year coach Bob Cummins gives a pointer to Dave Atwood and Dan Kuo at sectionals. The two played at number one doubles. Why do you participate in Memorial’s activities? Amy Lewis—Memorial offers a lot of good classes; it’s modern; and all my friends go here so we can do things together. Jody Randall—Because I enjoy the way people treat each other, especially the teacher's attitudes towards students. Jeff Martin—TI like Memorial because it has a great student body. It also gives me a chance to earn my teaching degree. Mrs. Jack Strain—Memorial has a warmth and family-type atmosphere that I like to work in and be around. Cindy Foy—Well, let’s see. So many things go on here, like all the sports we have, and the spirit is the best! Students and teachers demonstrate that spirit is one natural resource that Memorial will never run out of. 222 Where Did The Seventies Go So Fast? pe ee aermemnemnmmsem reat Jody Leers, Keith Springer and Dawn Scofield set up Memorial’s Scholastic Art exhibit in the art showcase.

Where Did The Severties Go So Fast) 223 Involvement’s future in doubt No one knows how much involvement in Memorial will be a part of our lives in the Eighties. Like the Vietnam war, possibly some major event will change how much we care about the world around us. According to one teacher, though, ‘‘We are in a gradual trend back towards apathy. There is no real gripping prob- lem that affects the students like Vietnam did.” Will the Eighties repeat the carefree attitudes of the Fifties? Or will student involvement hit a record high? Counselor Mary Harreld says, “The Seventies were really the first time we woke up and looked around. I think that now since students have got an idea of what it’s like to be involved, they'll stay that way.” Students in Peter McCasland’s class learn the cor- rect method of viewing the last total North Amer- ican eclipse of the century. The cheerleaders give a routine just one more run-through at practice. Cheerleaders practiced sum just as often as athletes did. 224 Where Dik The Seventies Go So Fast? ey - Athletic director James Pov pagnoli All-Sports Troph with Central this year. dO + YHIqsjeoMey � 8 6] $0 P4EzZZIIg � Oy1445 [PO° 0) ana O pan | 7g) on Oo O 13% oa Oo 2) a e 4) + Q ep } 07) “= n ® — Oo pe) Q @ rn re eg c —+ _ O iT =) =} 0) mie.
