VOLUME 58 MICHIGAN CITY, INDIANA Elstonian I The lnaudible Time is never ending. never sedentary. always changing. the most important thing in our lives. We curse it, we love it. we want it back. we're glad it's over. A love-hate relationship with some- thing we have never seen or touched. We can only associate events with that period in which we go through. The setting of the sun marks the end of another day of time but soon the dawn's light will arouse it once more. With the end of a day. we have become a day older. a bit wiser, we have changed. We have met And Noiseless Foot Of Time . . . different challenges during the caurse of that day, we have found out more abOut human nature and we have found different per- spectives. Just like the waves on the lake vary from any previOus ones. not one is identical to another. They flow onto the shore and receed. They come back but in a unique way. Time in the same manner flows on always rearranging, always changing, we cannot alter it but must adjust to it. If we do not. we ourselves. will cease flowing. SHAKESPEARE Plodding through the snow came a man with a certain gleam in his eyes. Crossing Lafayette Street he headed for the sheltered confines of the A. K. Smith Career Center. He hadn't seen the building in years but it still looked like its old, institutional self. Brushing off the snow on his battered army jacket, which had a peace sign inscribed on the back and numerOus ecology and stop the war patches on it, he entered. Running his fingers through his shoulder length hair, he at once noticed it was the same as he remembered: Nurse's office to the left, speckled linoleum floor and the display cases filled with some kind of articles. It even smelled the same. The visitor gazed at his surroundings and slowly headed up the stairs as if in search of someone. A few moments later he descended the stairs with a look of disappointment. He apparently had not found who he was looking for and so he sought out the aid of a hall monitor. Unable to find one. the stranger saw a student meander- ing down the hallway. Clearing his throat he inquired. Could you help me? 'lMaybe I can and maybe I can't. shot back the wander- er. I'm looking for Duke Johns, could you tell me where he is? CQNO.7I Getting impatient with the indifferent tone of the adoles- cent, the man tried to keep calm by gritting his teeth, smiling and asked, Why? Because he went to teach at another school and I don't know what school it is, That's why. Hey, don't you read the newspaper? It was in there. No. I haven't read the News-Dispatch lately. You see, I moved away as soon as I graduated a few years back and just returned yesterday. So I haven't heard anything that's been going on here in Michigan City. Since I was in town I thought I'd visit. I don't blame you for not reading the paper. Last year they had in there that the theme of the prom was the Gay 905 but the real theme was the Roaring 20's. Boy was the Junior class hot after that happened, smirked the student as she looked back. Anyhow, as the alumnus tried to get back on the sub- ject, I guess I'll go over to the academic building and visit Mr. Adams. I'll never forget those thrilling basketball games he provided us, those rousing pep sessions, those rousing cheers, those . . You can't seem him here, blurted out the student. Why not? demanded the visitor. He's gone. He's principal out at Rogers and Mr. Steinke is Head Basketball Coach now. The visitor stood with a glazed look in his eyes. Hardly audible, he mumbled, He's gone? Mr. Adams gone? That is unbelievable. Mr. Adams principal of of of that other school? Yep. replied the student definitely. 4 Isaac C. Elston But why? Why did he go? muttered the alumnus. I guess he just got sick of red and white, quipped the student. It seems so unreal. It's like the saying. America is base- ball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. What? Well. Elston is basketball, Mr. Adams, Harriet, and Mr. Jones and you always expect it to stay that way. Speaking of Mr. Jones, I think I'll go pop in and see him. You'll have to go to the administration building to do that, said the student as she started to walk away since she was bored with the whole conversation. Why there? You're not going to tell me he isn't principal anymore are y0u Okay I won't. He isn't? shouted the visitor as he went running down the hall to catch up with her. Sure isn't. Mr. Harbart is the til guy now. Mr. Jones was offered a job on the school administration and he accepted It. Wow! Three blows in one day, I don't know if I can take it. Tell me is Harriet still here? Oh yeah, she's still here, the wanderer reassrued. At least something is still held sacred around here! he sighed. You should see what other new things are here this year. We have a new Physical Education Building with a pool, remodeled science labs, lots of new teachers around and we are now a four year high school complete with a new set of Freshmen. The alumnus stood flabbergasted. How can they do this to good ol' Isaac C? That's another thing, they dropped the Isaac C. and we are now known as Michigan City Elston High School. So many changes. I sure am glad I graduated when I did. How can there be any spirit with Mr. Jones and Mr. Adams gone. And all these changes, Elston is surely going to lose its sense of tradition! What? I cannot believe you are saying that. You even say you graduated from here. We still have our famOus spirit even thOugh Mr. Jones and Mr. Adams aren't here. Oh yeah we miss them but we're proud of what they have achieved. To keep from becoming stagnant you must keep changing and Elston has gone through a great metamorpha- sis in the past year. The world is constantly changing and to keep up we cannot dwell on our past for long. We must keep our minds open and accept alterations in the situations around us. Or we will be so wound up in the past that we will never be a part of the present. With that the bell rang and the student sprinted off to class before the alumnus could react. He stood among the marching students with a look of deep thought but then erased it and headed for the doors. On his way out he saw a garbage container near the door, paused, removed his coat, threw it in and left. MAJOR ISAAC C. ELSTON Isaac C. Elston 5 The seasons change from summer to winter and so the trees begin their long drop into hibernation. They slowly freeze until the sap in their veins ceases flowing. But come spring, the warm Sun will once again bring life to the trees. The day changes from bright sunlight to the darkness of night and so the City falls to sleep. Traffic will almost stop until dawn. Then the rays will resurrect the town and the streets will come alive. Is this also Man's cycle? Pew administrators ever gain the love and respect that Warren Jones and Doug Adams have among Elston's students and alumni. They were men who yielded to change yet had two unyielding princi- ples in their belief in their school and their country. As many schools slowly became too sophisticated to cheer for their teams. Elston retained her spirit. Much of this was due to the pride that Mr. Jones and Mr. Adams have always had in Elston. A pride which is unafraid to go before the student body and lead a cheer or in the case of Mr. Adams. take on two full time jobs; that of a basketball coach and an assistant prin- cipal. While other schools have given up the pledge because of its Meaning- lessness. Mr. Jones and Mr. Adams have insisted that we remember our country and Pledge Alligence to her each morning. For many this patrotism is rather old fashioned but for Mr. Jones and Mr. Adams it was a part not easily erased by the fickleness of pre- sent thought. Both Mr. Jones and Mr. Adams were demanding individuals. They demand- ed excellence from students. faculty, and themselves. This is why they were idolized by so many; they taught stu- dents to make and reach goals. Their spirit of excellence has become part of Elston and shall remain a part of Elston as long as Elston lives up to her motto I WILL. Mr. Jones. l963. Mr. Jones. l960. Mr. Adams, l963.

First many students were thrown out of their Science and English classes during the second semester, which es- pecially hurt the Chemistry students who had to finish all their labs before leaving. For several weeks students were seen walking aimlessly about. looking for their lost classrooms. Then there was the endless drone of saws. pOunding of hammers. and yell- ing of construction workers. Class- rooms usually plagued with the noise of unruly students were now immersed in the scunds of men at work. Finally, to make room for the new Physical Education building there was the demolition of the student parking lot, which made parking near the school as difficult for students as get- ting the car from their parents. And as ., the jack hammers began to eat the I 't' Em as parking lot. many students asked, Is it rm -...-,.... nuwwmw w worth it? Yet the head start that the con- struction workers received during the Debris shows the rebuilding process. Dreams on blueprints become reality on land. -1.- .--- .- -.. ..,.. J Few: Wt second semester enabled them to complete the job before school began in September. And the beautiful new Science rooms. as this year's Science students will testify. are well worth the problems construction braught last semester. Last remains of a once heavily used Chemistry room await the pitch. The wrestlers grab new facilities. A new pool has hopes of being finished. Construction 9 As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every moment of time. J. MASON Homecoming Inspires I omecoming is an old Elston tradition yet each year it be- r comes an exciting exper- ience for everyone involved. Though much is centered around the queen candidates and the football team, other students who voted for their favorite queen candidate, who decorated the trucks, who escorted the candidates. and who attended the game, participated in this annual event. Their spirit was proven during the downpour at the half-time presen- tation of the crown. Twenty-two different clubs spon- sored the candidates. Five of whom were the semi-finalists. Judy Balinao of Dahlites, Letty Hardy of Human Re- lations Club, Judy Kazmucha of Spanish Club, Deedle Shover of Cheerleaders. and Georgia Stellema of the Band. What were the results of this year's homecoming? There was a hard loss to Elkhart Central for Our football team.

Kismet was the combined effort of over fifty stu- dents, Costume Makers, Miss Smidt and Miss Booth; Chor- eographer, Melissa Baumgartner; Director, Mr. Stan Hold- craft; and Assistant Director, Peggy Kunkel. Other sup- porters of the musical were the subscribers to the Patron Program. Elston's Patron Program now in its second year, was an effort to raise money through the sale of Subscriptions which entitled the Subscriber to tickets and a place of recognition in the play's program. Aside from the financial and theatrical success of Kis- met. there was the critical approval of a demanding audience, an audience made up of parents, patrons, and Elston's student body. Mr. Holdcraft has said, I have a lot of faith in high school kids. They can handle almost any musical . . t and I've yet to be disappointed. Elston also has yet to be disappointed with the fine talent of her musical performers. nce again a pr0ud tradition was carried on 3 - at Elston this year with the musical produc- 8: tion of Kismet.

Graduates Accept any Seniors look at graduation as the end to dull books, sadistic teachers, merciless homework assignments. mal- odorous lockers, stuffy classrooms and the urgent warning of the minute bell. Yet Rev. O'Gorek helped remind the graduates that graduation should not be an end in itself. Keep on target. Don't take your eyes off your goal. It is as you will. You have to learn to make your decisions intelligently. Whatever be- comes of your life is up to you. Remember. it's your decision to make. this was the advice of Rev. O'Gorek as he spoke of the future to the graduating class. This was graduation Nineteen Hundred and Seventy Seven. Three Hundred and Sixty Two Seniors and honorary graduates, Mr. Adams and Mr. Jones, looked away from their yesterdays to the challenge of tomorrow.

No. it was Elston's Junior-Senior Prom. They stayed till the band quit playing. Mr. Jones commented. It was the first time the kids stayed till the end. In short the Prom was a big success. What made the Prom so successful? Was it the theme. The Roaring Twenties; the decorations; the band. The Danceables; the good turn out; or the hard work of the Prom's workers, under leadership of John Trojan and class sponsors Mr. Mark and Mrs. Edling, who made Elston's Prom more than just another school dance? Their many innovations such as moving the band off the stage for better acoustics. helped bring about many needed improvements. Just as the Roaring Twenties is now a memory. so is our Prom. It was a time to look anxiously forward to and a time to remember for years to come. Prom Queen, Beth Ryan dances with her date, Doug Wiseman.

Prom I9 This year's all-school play was the recipant of much of this change as a new director Mr. Holdcraft, took control of the annual event. While Mr. Hold- craft may be new to the aIl-school play his expertise as director of Elston's musical production is well known by all. And this years actors, under his direction. preserved his reputation as they skillfully handled the many changes that this year's play, The Teahouse of the August Moon, brOught. Among these changes was the addition of a perfor- mance in school for selected English students, the use of more choreography and costumes. a bigger cast. and the inclusion of Elston's first animal actor, Sassafrass, the goat. For the actor who participated in the play. with its many Japanese lines and characters. Teahouse proved to be a challenging yet rewarding experience. For the audiences who attended the performances, Teahouse was another one of the enioyable plays that Elston has presented over the years. r rama at Elston, like our school itself is changing.

Things aren't what they use to be. Even in a brief period of time one thing seems to be certain. things are always changing. In the Forties, the American people were living with a war - the Second World War. Fear of the unknown was in the people's hearts. Shortages. rationing. Civil Defense jobs, air raid drills and the dread of receiving the latest fatality lists had become a twenty-four hour habit. The combined trama of the war and the recent Great Depression took it's toils on lives, emotions and asperations. Somehow the war ended. the American people were now striving to restart their lives. With the beginning of the Fifties, one of America's calmest eras had begun. AlthOugh there were numerous problems Such as the Cold War and the Korean Conflict, it was an era when everything was going to be okay. There was hope. It was a time of Romance and the American Dream. falling in love. getting married and living happily ever after taking Sunday afternoon drives. Suddenly something happened. The calm era ended. The Sixities had been born. It was now the time of Johnson's Great Society. The American attitude had changed. The poor were recognized and Federal programs were started. Martin Luther King, President John Kenndey and brother Robert were assassinated. Man placed his foot on the Moon, One giant step for Mankind. Suddenly Our young men were being poured into Vietnam. It was a time of anxiety. Blacks would no longer tolerate being second-class citizens. People began to speak out. College campuses became the scene of violence as students demanded the end of the Vietnam conflict. The radical movement began to grow. Time passed; elections came. Richard Nixon was elected President. Vietnam eventually ended and with it an era. College campuses became peaceful yet our nation now had new worries. Communist expansion in Asia, rising inflation. high unemployment and crime rates demanded more and more of Our attention. Suddenly there was Watergate. Nixon resigned in disgrace, but America peacefully passed the test. Gerald Ford was sworn in and reconstruction began. Jimmy Carter came to the White House with the promise that things will be better. Now as the plans for the next era lay on the drawing board. only time will do the telling. l940's With The Passing Of Time Come Changes V In Our Physical Surroundings, Our Nation, 1 'Ar ;; S e .W e S r U 0 d n A cm .0 n e .n El r u 0 Jazz Band Tours Austria , mong the many jazz bands, vocal groups, and conv cert bands who performed at the International Music r Festival in Seefield this summer was our own Jazz band. Leaving from Chicago on June 24th. the group of 20 students and II chaperons. each of whom paid his or her own way. immediately ran into diffiCuIties as the plane had to refuel twice between Chicago and Munich. From Munich they traveled by bus to Seefield. where they performed at the music festival. Though their time was occupied with several performances they also spent much of their time visiting Such places as Leutasch, Salzburg. Innsbruck. the Linderhoff Castle, the Latten- burg Crystal Factory, and parts of the Alps and Italy. For the Jazz Band, the trip was an exchange of their perform- ing talents for the hospitality and beauty of Europe. As ambas- sadors to Austria. they performed well. Row I.- P. Tujer. R. Hegg. 5.

Those status searchers who do visit Europe are often unaware of anything but their physical surroundings; they are the souvenir hunters and polariod privacy invaders that have given our nation a bad name in Europe and the world in general. Yet there is another type of American toursit. those who are concerned about the people and culture of the nation they visit. Among last summer's concerned tourists were three of Elston's finest students: Anne Brockway. Alex Reichl. and Arleigh Reichl. Anne was able to visit Denmark through involvement in the American Field Service. Living for two months on dairy farms in Brande and Grensa, she ate, worked, and went to school with her Danish host and found the experience both enjoy- able and educational, as she learned that the Danish, despite their many differences, were very much like us. Alex and Arliegh along with thirty other students from Indiana went to Germany as members of the Indiana Univer- sity Honors Program UUHPy For seven weeks Alex. Arleigh and the other students lived in seperate homes in the city of Krefeld while they studied in a school organized especially for the lUHP students. They also visited such famous places as Paris and the Rhine, but their greatest experience came in learning about the German language and culture. The experiences of these three Elston's students and other like them are personal, yet the positive impressions they left behind may help create a better impression of American tourists.

Because of this a student taking shop courses may never partici- pate in anything with a student taking college bound courses if school assem- blies didn't bring Elston together. Assemblies bring together the stu- dent body and faculty to encourage the various athletic teams. organiza- tions and individuals that are Elston. These assemblies helped remind EI- ston's students that it takes more than individual goals to make a school. Bud Bird proves how talented he is.

Yet among each year's achievers, students like Boys' State winners Christopher Butler and Alex Reichl and Girls' State winners Cathy Jankowski and Shelly Warrick passed the test. Last summer they represented Elston at the 36th annual Hoosier Boys' and Girls' State, a government workshop for tomorrow's leaders. Another achiever was Geoff Potter. who qualified for a National Merit Scholarship after scoring in the top two hundreths of those taking the SAT. Still another achiever was Elstonian Six Gain Notoriety Editor John Trojan. who won the award presented by the Abiiah Bige- low Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. These were the students who lived up to Elston's motto I WILL. Their initiative has provided us with inspira- tion to achieve the goals we dream of and the honors they bring.

It continued as a dream and as of this year it be- came a reality; Elston's Physical Education Complex . The completion of this new building was an end to a huge project, an an- swer to an old problem, and the real- ization of a farsighted dream. Celebra- tion followed its birth on Elston's Phys- ical Education Complex Dedication day. November 20, l978 Elston's new Complex is no small building and Dedication day was no small affair. Students, parents. taxpay- ers. School Board members. and Mayor LaRocco were among those who took tours lead by members of Elston's Hon- or Society. By giving these tours to interested citizens. Dedication day became a little more than a ritual It became a day for both EIston and the community to take pride in what they had built. Q! Mr. Cook tells of the financml aspects u! the building.

Students Squeeze For Needy O . r Iston has long been known for her spirit. that enthusi- asm which makes Elston different than other schools. This spirit often involves student pride in their teams e and school. yet each year at Elston this unusual enthu- siam finds an unusual outlet through the Elston Squeeze. i Since i96l squeeze has been a collective effort by the entire school body to raise money for charities chosen by the the Student Council. Last year's charities were: Michigan City Red Cross. American Cancer Socitey, Michigan City Scholarship FOundation, March of Dimes, Michigan City Heart Association, LaPorte County Easter Seals Society, and the Foreign Exchange Student Fund. Even though last year's endeavor fell $223.00 under its $4000.00 goal. ll of the 37 homerooms who participated reached or exceeded their Sim.m goal. Of these homerooms Mr. Biddle's ll-M-3's were the number one fund raisers with a first prize total of $258.00. Yet aside from the fund raising. the squeeze was a unified effort by nearly every homeroom, teacher and student. It was this unified effort, which is so seldom seen among the different groups in a high school and the worthy charities for which the funds were raised that make the squeeze Such a special occasion. r Juniors Mike Mellen, Brad Smith and Mark Foster prove their strength against the Seniors. 32 Squeeze Students Display Enthusiastic Spirit , . , . Elirit week.at a .1. 51.11.12 Qbasketball sectionals, is usually the height of the enthusiasm that identifies Elston. Last year was no excep- tion; there was a pep session, class olym- pics, which the Ju- niors won, a hat day, a slop day. a city slicker day and a red and white day. The par- ticipation was truly amazing yet not unex- pected. The support the student body gave the Red Devil basket- ball team was the best they could have giv- en. Without a doubt. if there were an award given for the school with the best spirit in the state, El- ston would have won it during Spirit week last year. N. Goggins. S. Blamey. J. Harris. and J.

Senior. guarantees students an air of respect from under- classmen. The Seniors of '78 proudly honored that title as organiz- ers and leaders in many activities. They made the Squeeze richer by selling buttons. magazine subscriptions and candy bars. As Juniors. they chose The Roaring Twenties for the theme of the '77 Senior Prom. Chris Butler was Class President for three years. Other officers assisting him were. Vice President, Mark Pod- gorski. Secretary-Treasurer, Beth Powers, and Student Council Represen- tative, Letty Hardy. Advising the class officers of '78 were sponsors Mr. Mark and Mrs. Edling. Every high school student has to go through the never-ending stage of first becoming a Sophomore, then a Junior and at last, a Senior. At Elston, this stage doesn't seem to last long enough for most Red Devil students. But Red Devils will keep their title per- manently as long as they remain loyal fans of Elston.

As Sophomores, they success- fully proved their interest in the school. Adding support to various athletic teams. school organi- zations and wherever it was needed, was only a part of the past participa- tion this class has shown. Beside being good workers in the past. they have shown much promise for the future. Led by class sponsors Mr. Kerwin and Mrs. Dabbert, class of- ficers David Higdon, President; Dave Payne. Vice President; Nancy Reuber, Secretary-Treasurer; and Student- Council Representative; Cheryl Kruger. the class got off to a great start by selling carnations to raise money for the Prom. As a tradition at Elston. they once again sponsored a successful Prom. With these accomplishments behind them, the Junior class should have no problem handling the future. PresnDave Higdon.

A Geography class might study the Caste System in India or the land formations caused by glaciers. College prep students may elect to take World History as Sophomores. World History stresses material that has affected all or most of the world. such as the World Wars and the age of Enlightenment. US. History is manda- tory for Juniors. and includes the peri- od from the Civil War to the l960s. Seniors take Government for one se- mester. They learn about the American Government compared to other forms of Government. Second semester on the other hand. they have a choice of Sociology, Economics. or American Problems. Sociology is the study of how groups of people act in certain situations. Students were secretly filmed during passing periods to study body language.

These classes en- able students to get an idea of what a country is like by showing them for- eign films. letting them read foreign articles, and giving them foreign maps to study. Foreign language classes of- fered at Elston include: French, Span- ish. and German. In French, one may learn abOut Paris and the Alps. where as a student taking Spanish would study Madrid and the Pyrenees; and the German student would be learning abOut East Berlin and the Bavarian Alps. Students wishing to visit one of these cauntries would find it helpful to have taken one of these courses. It would not only help them to communi- cate better but it would also aid them in the understanding of foreign cul- ture. Heading the department for the third consecutive year is Mrs. Croft.

Academics I3l Home Economics Classes '11: . at too long ago. Home Eco- nomics classes were geared strictly towards the future housewife. but now people are beginning to realize the impor- tance of being seIf-reliant. Learning to cook one's own meals, wash one's own clothes. and take care of one's own home is essential not only for women but also for men. This is especially true in today's society of working women. Mrs. Krueger taught the Foods and Adult LivingtChild Development pro- grams. In the Foods course. students learned about the food groups. the calorie content and nutritional value of various foods. and how to prepare a delicious, well-balanced meal. The rela- tionship between parents and their children during the growing years was discussed in Adult LivingtChild Devel- opment classes. Mrs. Sparks taught the Clothing course which included a two hour vocational program this year. Stu- dents were taught to Iay-out and cut out their patterns, put in zippers and hems, and put ribbons. lace and ruffles on garments to enhance them. Mrs. Wenger, head of the Home Economics department, taught Consumer Educa- tionNnterior Relation and Housingtln- terior Decorating. In Consumer Educa- tionAnterior Relation each student made up his own economical budget plan. Housinanterior Decorating courses gave students an idea of how to decorate andtor remodel a room to fit their tastes. For all practical pur- poses, Home Economics classes are good classes to take.

The motto in this class was to drive defensively. There were three Drivers Education :sessions. one in the spring, one in the f3 , and one in the winter. Each of these ses- sions lasted twelve weeks and cost twenty-five dollars. Half of the course was spent in the classroom and the other half in the car. In the classroom, students were tested on the proper procedures in driving a car. One of the classroom projects was to give weekly accident reports. By the end of the course, students learned how to SMOG tsignal, check in mirror, look over shoulder, and go if the way is clearL how to drive a manual transmission car. and how to drive a truck with a trailer attached. Drivers Education classes provided each student with the general knowledge of driving. Mr. Croll and Mr. Steinke keep busy whiie students take a test. Academics I35 reative abilites of this year's Art students were enhanced by the addition of a dark- room to the Art department. Photography joins block printing, sculpting, weaving. ceramics, and many other activities to let the student discover where his talents lies. Three years of Art are offered to develop each talent to the fullest po- tential. Starting with Art I which is ba- sic sketching and painting, students may work up to Art II which concen- trates on the more advanced aspects of the artistic world. This includes dot portraits and water color techniques. Show cases in the A.K. Smith Career Center display the imaginative works of Art II and Ill students.

It is a practical course which deals with physical health. mental health. and first aid. Students learned to identify the various bones and muscles of the body. Aspects of mental health discussed were: projec- tion. regression. procrastination. and repression. During the section on first aid, students were taught the proper steps taken when a crisis occurred. Everyone had to know how to take care of cuts, burns. bites, bruises, and broken bones. Students who have tak- en this course are better equipped to save one's life. M add ?ix. . I Answers don't always come easily. decides John Ganschow. Mrs. Hahn points out some of the main arteries. I38 Academics Students Teach Students r xploratory teaching students r experienced some of the diffi- culties as well as rewards of hteaching. Students participat- ing in this program were: Barb Brooks, John Fanson, Sandra Jackson. and Deb- bie Wort. They reported to their teaching stations and remained there for two hours each day. Barb Brooks helped her fifth and sixth graders at Marsh School put on a Christmas play, work out math problems and put up bulletin boards. John Fanson saw to it that his Elston Jr. High gym students had plenty of exercise to keep fit. San- dra Jackson organized games for her Central School students to play and also helped the teacher grade papers. Debbie Wort kept her kindergarden children at Marsh School busy by read- ing them stories. Through this pro- gram. exploratory teaching students gained practical knowledge in the area of teaching.

Some of the things taught to the students were four-part harmony, triads. and intervals. He helped stu- dents with memorization by holding up flash cards with different intervals on them. Students were required to write few short melodies and a Christmas Carol. At the end of the year, they each had to compose a musical score which was performed by fellow class- Mr. Timberlake grades a student's melody. mates. i .

Curriculum ast year, the student parking lot was under construction to make room for the Elston ephysical Education COmplex. This caused conflict in the lives of stu- dents. Those who drove to school had to park in the empty lot on Franklin Street or on one of the side streets around the school. Tardies to home- room became frequent and so did parking tickets. This past year the P.E. facility was completed and a new stu- dent parking lot was constructed on what used to be Pine Street. Girls' Physical Education classes were moved from the Crackerbox they shared with the guys to a brand new gymnasium. With the addition of a swimming pool, pool classes were of- fered in the P.E. curriculum. Teaching the first year of pool were Mr. Croll. Mrs. Hahn and Mr. Hans. P.E. classes were taught by Mr. Curtin and Mrs. Michaels.

The first step for the l977 group was to learn to work together and consequently, the first activity was a summer canoe trip to Michigan. Paddling canoes proved to be a valuable lesson in cooperation. As soon as the year began the Honor Society organized its calendar. The first event of the year was Homecoming. The group had the responsibility of decorating the gym and also worked hard to help the Honor Society Candidate, Kim Carter. decorate her truck. Next the group raised money to make it possible for Elston to award Scholarship Pins to its academically talented stu- dents. Honor Society also ushered for all of the school plays. the musical, and Back to School Parent's Night. Members also worked as ushers and guides for the dedication of the Elston Physical EducatiOn Complex. The Honor Society sponsored two Parent's Nights for sports, one for basketball players and one for football players. The parents received special invitations to the game and were asked to participate in the half-time presentation. Row I: A. Brockway, J. Trojan. J. Pohl. Row J.- M. Janasiak. L. Heuston. B. Dudek. D.

These goods were then distributed to needy families for Christmas. In the Spring, the National Honor Society conducted the Scholarship fund drive. These funds were given to the Michi- gan City Scholarship Faundation which provides loans for college bound students. As another service project, the group also made an effort to re-establish Elston's participa- tion in the Red Cross Blood Donor Program. At the end of the year new members for the National Honor Society were chosen on basis of their Citizenship, Service. Scholarship, and Leadership abilities. Members were expected to uphold these standards even after they had been excepted. New members became official at the induc- tion Ceremonies in May. The co-sponsor of the Honor Soci- ety.

This year. however, in waddition to student vote. repre- sentatives were chosen according to their elementary school districts. As a result. those participating shared a va- riety of backgrounds. Rounding out the Council were the twelve class officers. Because they acted on complaints and recommendations of the student body. the Council had plenty to keep them busy. Meetings were called whenever important issues needed to be dis- cussed. All new ideas were voted on for approval. Major consideration was given to the Homecoming assembly and parade. the annual Squeeze and student government. Due to the dedi- cation of Mr. Kerwin, matters were kept running smoothly. President Don Hardy and Vice-President Larry Shell could always be counted on for direc- tion. while Deedle Shover acted as Secretary by keeping records of all the meetings. Row I.- L. Shell. D.

Activities Cheerblock Backs The Devils r asketball games were exciting at Elston this year and one of r the reasons was the special performances put on by the Boysi Cheerblock. Each game began with the traditional stripper act starring Don Hardy. This act has al- ways been a favorite of the audience and Don and the other boys played their roles well. After their initial act was over. Cheerblock members pro- ceeded to enc0urage the Red Devils while making sure that the members of the opposing team knew their places. The referees were under the watchful eye of the Boys' Cheerblock at all times. Sometimes the boys stirred up some friendly competition with the girls in R.T. by challenging them to yell- ing contests. The Boys' Cheerblock kept all home games colorful and excit- ing with their display of boisterOus be- havior. Row l,- D. Elenz. Ci McKay. D. Higdon. C. Elenz. J. Niec. Rt Stormer. E.

But. incredibly enough, behind all that hysteria there was organi- zation. The girls' cheerblock, or R.T., is led by Mrs. Michaels. and year after year shows enthusiasm and loyalty to Elston. The group's initials, R.T.. stand for Rote Teufel which means Red Devil in German. The year began with the traditional R.T. Initiation. In order to prove her loyalty to Elston an initiate must wear an R.T. costume for two weeks. This is not as easy as it sounds because this year's R.T. costume was a short skirt worn with a long slip, hair worn in ten pigtails, faces drawn on the knees, and, to top it off, old R.T. members required that Hefty garbage bags be worn and ., s 9! . a few tin cans be strung around the neck. Initiates also i a ' learned cheers and collected autographs from old R.T. mem- e T bers and football players. R.T. initiates work hard but their Katrina Russell efforts do not go unrewarded. In the spring R.T. sponsored a shows spirit. formal dance. But the biggest reward of all was the feeling of involvement. Lynn Bailey models the latest RTT. garb. Initiates find safety in numbers. Aclnmvs HT Jazz Band Plays Around .r lthough this year's Jazz Band , was mostly underclassmen, r they demonstrated self-as- surance and talent at all of their performances. The Jazz Band was much in demand. On the return from this summer's Austrian trek, they found many requests and invitations awaiting them. The Jazz Band was in- vited to play for Dedication Week at the new Public Library. Elston's new Physical Education Complex was prop- erly opened with a performance by the Jazz Band.

Activities l4:J oon after school began in Au- gust. all of the members of the Foreign Language clubs start- ed fund raising. They wanted to earn enough money to support the social activities scheduled throughout the year. Because of the constant en- couragement by their sponsors the French. German. and Spanish clubs participated in some very profitable enterprises. Ranking high on the list of projects taken on by these dedicated club members were numerous car washes and daily doughnut sales. The German club members polished and shined cars while French and Spanish club members did their best to keep students munching on fresh dough- nuts. Tiresome as the fund raising seemed at times, the promise of par- ties and trips was enough to boost mo- rale and keep spirits high.

Fortunately they managed to find an answer to all of the demands made by those fans. Throughout the games concession workers could be found minding hot dog counters and walking up and down the bleachers selling boxes of popcorn, bags of potato chips, and Cokes. They not only learned valuable lessons in salesmanship, but also earned money. The profits made by the Junior Con- cession workers are used to cover the Row I:M. Murray. F. Murray. S. Jackson.

Actn Illc'S Clubs Lead Students Into Business World most important question a student faces concerns career choice. Here at Elston we have several fine programs to combat these pressures and help students find their niche. DECA is the club involved in the distributive education program. Participating students learned about sales and ad- vertising. At regional contests, Frank McCrindle. John Wag- ner. Gina Schivone, and Shelly Krause won high honors for their displays of advertising techniques. COE dealt with office education. Girls showing an interest in office work belonged to this club. With training in data any decisions must be made by each student as ' i he nears the end of his high school education. The processing, filing, and stenography, COE sent girls out on the iob to gain valuable experience. VICA is a club that has evolved from the Industrial Co-op Training 0CD program. The club conducts a safety inspec- tion program for the vocational shops at Elston. VICA also participates in the ICT basketball league. CHO offers students career opportunities in the health field. Elston students in CHO traveled to Rogers for their classes. COE Row I: S. Alonzo. H. Collier. 6. Collins. P. Wright. Row 2.- Mrs. Schlegelmilch. D. Wiseman. S. Watkins. J. Harris. J. Schultz. P.

These girls donated one hour of their time each day to keep Elston students well equipped for their classes. There are two stores at Elston, one on the second floor of the Academic Building and one on the basement of the A. K. Smith Career Center. The Student Store sponsor. Mr. Quinn, kept a care- ful account of the stores' profits so that they could be used to finance pro- grams at Elston that have no other means of Support. Many of our music assemblies, for instance, were paid for with profits from the Student Store. T eeping the Elston Senior High Library operating is a big job. but fortunately, our librarians have some help. Elston's li- brary assistants, or Dahlites, assist the librarians by checking out books, keeping track of overdue slips and fines. and making sure the shelves are in good order. This service not only made life much easier for the li- brarians, but it gave all Dahlites a chance to learn a valuable skill. This year's Dahlies were: Judy Ba- linao. Bruce Criswell, LeAnn Daniel, Gloria Foldenauer, Cindy Grattenth- aler. Dawn Hart, Jackie Krause, Donna Lewis, Sheri Neider, Dale Nieman. Don- na Peiffer. Mary Summers.

Being an usher involved much more than sim- hply showing people to their seats and selling them programs. The ushers were actually the masterminds of the gymnasium. exercising control over 3.W fans. The usher buttons and jackets worn by them were true signs of power and very few people ever challenged their authority. After making sure that everyone was in his proper place, the ush- ers began to clear the aisles and doorways.

Beginning early in the year, club members worked hard to convey this spirit. Electing Letty Har- dy to represent the club for Homecom- ing helped to demonstrate their enthu- siasm since Letty was held in such high esteem by the students that she was chosen as Elston's I977 Homecoming Queen. Mr. Cummins, new to Elston and to the Human Relations Club, re- newed interest and participation in the organization. His influence helped to generate eagerness in all of the members to help harmonize relations among the students. Row I: L. Watkins. B. Davis, G. Hills. L Hardy. V. Lewis. Row 2: S. Petersen. J. Oda.

Office And Counselor Assistants Expand Routes 'Kince these girls were involved e in retrieving students for the h .office, joy and fear were the common emotions they wit- nessed each day. Depending on the student's conscience one of these re- actions was always present. Not only did these girls deliver messages and calI-out slips but they ran errands. col- lected absentee lists and filled teach- ers' mailboxes. By giving up an hour of their schedule, these girls were able to keep matters in the office running smoothly. Because of an inexhaustible supply of energy possessed by these girls, communication lines were kept open throughout the entire school. Counselors Assistants: Row l.- M. Hampel. R. Miller. C.

Bat Girls, Mat Maids, And Swim ' ll sports teams at Elston have their trainers and coaches, but the swimmers, wrestlers, and baseball r players have something special. The Swim Team Timers, Mat Maids, and Bat Girls came to meets and games to look after the minor. but essential. details so that team members would be free to concentrate on their sport. Besides attending to their more practical chores, the girls were always on hand to yell encouragement to their teams. Last spring. the Bat Girls offered their services to the members of the baseball team. Some of their tasks included making sure that bats, balls. and mitts were clean and ready to go at the beginning of each game. The Mat Maids began each wrestling meet by washing the mats and taping them down to the floor. The girls demon- strated group spirit by raising money at bake sales so that they ceuld buy shirts for themselves and for the members of the wrestling team. Swim Team Timers played a very important role at swim meets. Each girl was given a stop watch and time sheets. As swimmers came to their lanes, their names were taken and, as they finished. their times were recorded. Several girls were assigned to each lane so that times would be consis- tently aCCurate. Without the help of these girls most athletic events at Elston would have been difficult to organize. The Mat Maids, Swim Team Timers, and Bat Girls lent efficiency and spirit to the games and meets that they attended. 554- BAT GIRLS. ROW l: S, Schmitt, G. Stellema. Row 2.- A. Haddad. Row 3: J.

Last summer these virtues were em- ployed to raise money for Elston's Ath- letic Department. This time the pro- ject was a 20l hour basketball mara- thon with the goal of raising $lm for a leaper, an excercise machine designed to help develop lower leg muscles for jumping. The effort, organized by Mr. San- tana and executed by Elston's basket- I66 Activities ball team and other participants, over- shot its goal of 51000 by $40. The marathon was a success and the Athletic Department was able to buy the leaper but the story doesn't end here. As this article is being written, Mr. Santana is planning a new mara- thon. This marathon is to take place during spring break and hopefully it will break the world record for a bas- ketball marathon. And maybe when this yearbook comes out in the spring. we will be talking about the hard work and dedication which put Elston in the record books. Players anticipate the rebound. awe: at'sxwm ' Relaxation is important to the game. harity has long been a part of life at Elston. Each year thou- sands of dollars are raised a for various causes through the Elston Squeeze, yet Our community and nation have other needs which cannot always be bought. One of these was the need for blood donors, a need which Elston students and faculty helped meet this year. Blood supplies. which are largely maintained by the Red Cross. fell dangerously low during the flu season this year, and it was the average man and woman like Elstonis teacher and student blood donors who pulled together to correct this situa- tion. Giving blood, they found, took some time and was not always painless but few experiences are so gratifying as a donation which may save a life.

Activities I67 Band Undergoes Alterations lthough poor weather conditions prevailed , throughout most of the marching season. the spir- its of those in the band were hardly dampened. r The new uniforms they displayed were worn with that certain amount of pride that comes with reaching a long scught after goal. These uniforms symbolized the hard work and loyalty to a cause that the entire city believed in. Thanks to the dedication of so many people, the dream of new uniforms became a reality. Also new to the band this year was their leader, Mr. Morse. With the fresh Supply of enthusiasm he brought with him, Mr. Morse was able to boost morale greatly. Once again the band provided an inspirational force during all of our home football games. Led on the field by drum-major Drew Lau. band members 'w 19w x-Lx h Row i: D. Lau, E. Middleton. D.

I68 Activities performed drills during the pre-game shows and executed flashy routines during half-times. As the marching season drew to an end, it became time to form a concert band. Due to the increase in membership this year, it was possible to form two separate concert bands. One of these was com- posed only of Freshmen and the other was a mixture of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. This two band system provided Elston with twice the musical enioyment of past years. Musical arrangements ranged from the relatively sim- ple to the very difficult. Because of this diversity, many long hours. were spent practicing. Band members found these practices well worth their effort as concerts and other pera formances were appreciated by their audiences. G. Kist. A. Jacobucci. B. Hill, V. Lewis. Row 7: A. Kaletha, E.

I70 Activities Year Of Shortages Produces Abundance snow and Stew McDonnell's voice announcing, All Michigan City Area Schools are closed today. Yet even a good thing can go too far and on January 26th. l978. Stew McDonnell didn't have to tell anybody that there was no school as Michigan City found herself under 20 inches of drifting snow. Cars were stranded, highways and roads became para- lyzed. people were hopelessly snowed in, and life in the city slowly came to a halt. In an emergency such as this one of two things happen, people will become opportnists or they will work together. Michigan City had both types of peo- ple but the community spirit as a whole was a charitable one, People donated their four-wheel drive vehicles to help rescue stranded drivers; neighbors helped each other shovel driveways; and street department workers worked I8 hour shifts to clear the snow. While students did miss a week of school. the lessons they and the com- munity learned in patience and coo- peration were invaluable. And when lessons like these are learned a disase ter soon becomes a blessing. , i. , Eff; othing is more pleasant to a M .

This is what ' brought our exchange students Eser Nukhet Govdeli, from Adana. Turkey. and Rossemary Melendez, from Guatemala City, Guatemala to the United States and Elston Senior High. In their search for an understanding of American life they studied, ate, and lived with both Elston's students and their spon- sor families - the Brockway's twho spon- sored Esen and the Powers' twho sponsored Rossemaryy. Studying American culture in such a manner was rewarding yet they did have their problems. Eser found she was learning English a little to weil when she called a Turkish restaurant in Chicago and found she had forgotten how to speak Turkish, a problem which she will surely resolve before returning to Turkey. Rossemary experienced a different prob- lem when she began to talk to someone she mistook as a member of the Foreign Ex- change Program. After rattling off some Spanish to the puzzled student she asked, Aren't you Spanish or Mexican? And he replied, Hell no, I'm American. Yet most of their experiences were good ones and though they began as observers, they soon became one of us as they partici- pated in life at Elston. And as they came to gain an understanding of us, we also learned something positive about our world, our fel- low man. and Ourselves. Eser vadeli. Rossemary Melendez. Istanbul. Turkey.
