forest Park High School fordinand, Indiana Volume 5 1976 Two hundred years ago, our fore- fathers gained their independence. As they united to form a nation, we have consolidated to form a school. After just five years, Forest Park High School is ready to follow in its coun- try’s footsteps. Like those before us, our community has realized the need for growth and expansion, because throughout the past five years, con- ditions in our school have become cramped, causing a need for a new ad- dition. Back in 1776, people had only themselves. Now, in 1976, we have not only people, but materials. Our fore- fathers worked hard and through their efforts they developed a time for themselves. Now it’s our time-Forest Park’s time. 1976 is truly “a time for us”. 1976—A very special time 2 3 A Time ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Zable of Contents ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ School life pp. 6-31 Sports pp. 32-53 4 m, MMM .ww'w .......... ...S ff t f ?f tf v VNV- iiiiiiiiiiiwp� 1111� ' ............“ School life . A time to share . . . The 1976 school year was one of distinction—a year of involvement and good times. Not only was it a bicen- tennial year, but it was also a year of rebuilding. As additions were being made to our school building, many memories were also added to the lives of our student body. Throughout the year, various activ- ities and organizations, as well as con- struction sites within our school, gave us an opportunity to share life experi- ences which will always remain dear in our minds. Although the dirt, and the noise during the construction brought a few trying times, each and every moment of our school year was worth it. School life in the year 1976 will never be for- gotten. of' r Marching “All the work, all the pain, all worthwhile!” No better words could express the efforts and achievements of F.P.’s Marching Rangers. Together, the band, drill team, flag corps, and rifle corps joined forces for a winning year. s show pride The band captured first place tro- phies in street parades at Dale and Tell City. A first place trophy was taken at the Evansville West Side Nut Club. The Rangers walked away with a first at the ISMA contest, and took fifth at state. 9 10 . . .and the band plays on ABOVE: Mr. Keusch gives the old 1,2,3 to his band students. BELOW: Students start off on their long journey to Benet Hall. Under the direction of Mr. Gene Keusch, the Forest Park band proved their dedication and spirit to the school as well as to the student body. Through their hard work at band camp during the summer, and the long hours at school, they had devel- oped a somewhat successful band. Al- though there were some setbacks, the band once again came through by winning a total of five awards. ABOVE: John Eischer, junior, and Mike Seger, sophomore, practice their pieces for the next band performance. BELOW: At another one of the many band practices, the students take a short time out for a rest period, before starting a hard practice on one of their new music selec- tions. ABOVE: Eour band members exhibit the band awards won throughout the year. ABOVE: Carole Anderson, senior, rehearses her solo for the annual Christmas concert. Chorus kids sing in harmony The Forest Park choir, under the direction of Mrs. Phyllis Johanneman, presented musical entertainment for the entire student body. Many selec- tions were sung by the choir and by soloists at the annual Christmas and spring concerts. Such concerts were proof of the harmony which was achieved by the group. ABOVE: Phyllis Johanneman directs the choir during a song. BELOW: Chorus students prac- tice a music selection from one of their many concert pieces.

BELOW: Mr. and Mrs. Etienne take their turn on the dance floor. Snowlit “Snowlit Evening” was the theme for the 1975 Holiday Ball. Many couples danced to soft music, while others sat with their dates at candlelit tables. Aside from the slow romantic music, the band also played polkas, squaredances and bunny hops, which gave the couples a chance to change their pace. Enchantment filled the evening as cameras flashed to capture memories of special moments that will never be forgotten.

ABOVE: At a pep assembly, the varsity cheer- leaders demonstrate one of their various cheers. The Forest Park Pep Club com- bined the spirit of the four classes to back the Ranger drive. The division of the sexes provided for an explosion of the Ranger squad. The sale of the Ranger buttons sym- bolized the evergrowing spirit and loyalty of the Ranger fans. Behind the leadership of Miss Sandy Miller, the club sponsor, and the cheerleaders, the pep block served as the “sixth man” of the Ranger team. Together we worked for the success of our team and of our school. Together we built fond memories. 14 females do their thing The girl’s athletic association insti- tuted a challenge for the females of Forest Park. Behind the efforts of the sponsor, Mrs. Mary Lou Luebbehusen, and the club officers, activities were set up to provide a source of competi- tion. A sense of accomplishment was achieved as the girls fought to meet their goals in many sports activities.

Council gang works as one with students The purpose of the Student Coun- cil was to serve the student body as best they could. Student Council members, who were voted for by each of the four classes, tried their best to submit the requests of the students to the entire council. With the cooperation of both the Student Council and student body, many improvements have been made in our school functions. Working as one, they proved to be successful. 16 NaMoSo shows leadership As Forest Park strived for improve- ment, there was a group of dedicated students which stood out from the rest of the student body with their leadership ability. With the many members of the National Honor Society leading the way, we worked for bettering our- selves and our school. ABOVE: Mr. Lee Leinenbach, NaHoSo spon- sor, smiles for his approval of the National Honor Society’s efforts. Hard telling what else is on his mind!

Meta moves ahead in ’76 “The Beta Club’s for leadership for loyalty, and truth. The Beta Club's for fellowship, a guiding light to youth.” These are beginning words of the Beta Club song. The Beta members are a hard-working group of people striving to improve the school. Beta members need leadership, character, and achieve- ment. They do good deeds for the community as well as the school; helping everyone they can. ABOVE: Mr. Larry Tenbarge takes charge during one of the meetings.

The class of ’76 met together for the last time as sen- iors with thoughts of their future lives, and memories of their four years together. They have distinguished them- selves from all other classes, and have become one of the finest graduating classes of Forest Park. By overcoming all their trials and tribulations, they have become confident adults ready for the future. enthusiasm ABOVE LEFT: Brenda Daunhauer takes out a moment to look back on the memories high school gave her.

We’re from Forest Park and we are proud!” The Forest Park sports program, which offered varsity competition in cross country, basketball, volleyball, golf, baseball, and girls’ and boys’ track, provided the Ranger athletes with a challenge that everyday school life could not offer. Each participant had three qualities-desire, determina- tion, and dedication-which made them deserving of our pride. There has always been something special about each Ranger athlete. No word can touch it, yet it is there. And it lives on. It is the hope of a future victory, a future success, a future achievement. It is not just one of these; it is all of these. This is the future of Forest Park. ABOVE: The 1976 Ranger track team. FOREGROUND: from left to right: Chester Altman, Barry Treat, Joe Vonderheide, Tom Henke, Mark Kordes, and Bryan Eehribach.

Overall, the green clads of Forest Park defeated 42 teams while falling to only 29 foes. Individually, junior Ron Meyer con- tinued to astonish area fans with his outstanding performances. Among his accomplishments were numerous first place finishes, fifth in the North Har- rison Invitational, fourth in the Paoli Invitational, seventh in the twenty- five team Lincoln Trails Invitational, fourth in the Jasper Sectional, and an eleventh place finish in the regional. winning wags ABOVE: Jim Mehling shows his form as he finishes 56th out of 192 runners in the 1975 Jasper Crosscountry Sectional.

The young team started the season with a big win over Wood Memorial be- fore skidding into a long seven meet los- ing streak. Fortunately, the Rangers bounced back and ended their season with a 13-27 record. The Rangers record- ed victories over Wood Memorial, South- ridge, Pike Central, Heritage Hills, Or- leans, and Silver Creek. Bright spots during the Rangers’ year included a new school record for a team low, which they set at Southridge during the last meet of the year, with a total of 167. The Ranger linksmen also topped their previous best sectional score with a tee total which placed them twelfth out of seventeen teams.

The transition from grade school to high school basketball did not seem to bother the frosh. They showed that although it was their first year to play together, they could work as a team. Several of the team’s top players were rewarded for their hard work by being placed on the JV roster toward the end of the season. Most importantly, however; was the fact that the Frosh were initiated into the Ranger-way of thinking, the Ranger-way of playing, and the Ranger- way of winning.

The Ran- gers produced a school record twenty- one wins, polished off state ranked teams one after another on their way to the school’s first regional and semi- state crowns, and fell just two games short of winning the state champion- ship! Despite one of the area’s toughest schedules, the Ranger’s finished with an impressive 21-9 season mark. South Spencer, Bloomington South, Lanes- ville and Owensboro Appollo, all state rated teams, fell victims to the Ranger machine. The 1-2 pitching punch of Jim Mehling and Jim Kippenbrock, plus the Ranger’s sparkling defense and key hitting, proved to be the key to the legendary Ranger success. There was not one star, but fourteen stars. Each did his part, and then some, in each Ranger victory. Their kind of team play is the kind that breeds champ- ions, and that, after all, is what they are-champions! ABOVE: Paul Ruhe slides gracefully into home as the umpire looks on.

The pride of Forest Park showed in all the scholastic achieve- ments and awards brought home to Ranger Territory during the course of the year. The school year offered a lot more than just the four basic areas of study, math, English, social studies, and sci- ence. Several elective areas rounded out the fields of study. Art, foreign languages, home economics, and indus- trial arts were just some of the classes to further the students’ creativity. The desire to learn kept leading the students forward, carrying them through a very eventful school year. Students and teachers united, tackcling the awasome textbooks given to them in the beginning of the year, conquering all aspects of life in their studies. ABOVE: The junior United States History class seems to be monkeying around and act- ing dumb as usual. Students make It’s 1976 and our nation’s Bicenten- nial. Students find themselves amid the jumble of history and before they can wade out they are making history themselves. Introductory social studies and current problems could cover any- thing from Columbus sailing the ocean blue to modern man’s technology. World history, U.S. history and gov- ernment are on the social studies agenda. U.S. history and government are the two required courses in order to receive your diploma. Sociology-psychology classes are relatively new for the students. They find out about the social and inner mind of man. As you can see social studies is moving ahead in ’76, preparing stu- dents for the world they’ll face. history in ’76 ABOVE: Mary Mundy signs the guest regis- ter at the Indy 500 on the government trip.

Striving to Find out more about the science life, the students had lab, and discovered a few things for themselves. Chemistry and physics classes were moving on in the science world. They were concerned with chemical formu- las and the properties of atoms. They were basically on their own while they had lab and sometimes realized that chemistry could become too much to handle.

Students had a wide range of math classes to choose from in the ’75-76 school year. The agenda was general math, business math, Algebra I, Alge- bra II, and unified math. The students under the watchful eye of Sr. Rose, Mr. Larry Klein and Mr. Tom Meyer calculated many mind-boggling, soul- searching problems. Struggling forward throughout the year these students accomplished the art of math, learn- ing new methods and ways of solving their problems.

Under the guardian eyes of Mr. Meyer, Mr. Peacock, Mr. Walston, Miss Miller and Mr. Smith the upcoming proteges strived to achieve some of the finest pieces of literature of the 1975-76 school year. English I, II, and III, Advanced Grammar, Speech, Contemporary Lit- erature and Journalism were covered under the massive heading English. The first three years of English are required courses. The elective courses are aimed at college bound students. After studying hard, the teachers still wondered, “Ain’t you gonna learn”. ABOVE: Freshmen look serious as they try to study as hard as they can. BELOW LEFT: Luck ily we know speech is a dramatic class or we could have thought Pat and Norm were crazy.

If you thought these words sounded a little foreign you were right! They drifted from the class rooms of Ger- man 1-4 and Spanish 1-4. These students attempted to learn the language and customs that their studies pertained to. They also had some fun along their way of foreign travels. So if you happened to have step- ped into a room and found you were in a different country, no need to worry. You were just in a foreign lan- guage class! If you were not in a for- eign language class you had better check your road map. ABOVE: German students prove they can sing dine song.

Do we have another promising Rembrandt? In the art classes 1,11, 111, and IV, you could find anything from drawings of the school, to macrame belts, wallhang- ings, and even paper mache’ bumble bees. Then there are other classes such as drawing, painting, and ceramics. Here students worked hard on cer- amic ashtrays, vases and statues, while others worked on still life, scenery, and self-portraits. The art students of our classes have added to the pride of Forest Park. ABOVE: Donna Wagner sculpts away to put life into a bar of soap.

It included the classes of power and trans, welding, woods, drafting, and general shop. Such things as over- hauling engines, working with wood, drawing blueprints, using T-squares, and learning to arc weld were learned. Imagination and originality shone through on every product completed by the different classes throughout the school year.

Well, at least for the students it was. Such energetic activities as bowling, soccer, football, tennis and gymnastics were sure to wear you out for the day. Mr. Layman, Mr. Nichols, and Mrs. Luebbehusen had the tedious job of teaching the students the tact of win- ning and also the art of good sports- manship. These two qualities acquired in Phys. Ed. helped round out the Forest Park student. ABOVE: Ready for take-off, no, it’s just the usual arm exercise be- fore the routine P.E. class.

Included in the health course is first aid. Trampolines, parallel bars, weights, bowling, and basketball are just a few of the things on the P.E. class curricu- lum. Flying girls and tossed boys are not a new sight to Forest Park. New activities are added yearly and the first few days the gym could be called hazardous to enter. Mr. Layman, Mr. Nichols and Mrs. Luebbehusen are the P.E. and health instructors. They strive to keep the Forest Park students in tip-top shape.

Not only did they teach the future drivers the rules of the road but also the courtesies to the other drivers. Drivers Education was a thorough look at all the accidental happenings that could occur while touring on a country backroad to the city slickers fast moving freeways.

When the school year began in August, many new faces entered the halls of Forest Park. In no time at all, those strange faces became new-found friends-friends with whom we shared good times. It was not only the students who made the year what it was. The faculty added a lot with their friendly faces, and their willingness to participate in skits to show their school pride. Looking back at the year gone by, we recall how really great it was to be a part of Forest Park and to have had the opportunity to grow in friendship, in understanding, and in pride.

One of the projects which they had a lot to do with was the rebuilding of Forest Park. This building is scheduled to be finished about the same time the class of ’77 graduates. The faculty and administration of Forest Park High School are dedicated to providing our students with the highest quality education possible. We are very proud of our student body and its accomplishments. We feel fortunate that our students are the most dedica- ted and sincere group of young people anywhere. It is with great anticipation and pride that we look forward to the com- pletion of the new addition to Forest Park. Then, the patrons of the South- east Dubois County School Corpora- tion will have an outstanding physi- cal plant to compliment its fine facul- ty and student body. With this new physical facility we will be able to broaden our curricular offerings and thus afford our students with an even higher quality education. Finally, 1 would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the pat- rons, school board, and superintendent of the Southeast Dubois County School Corporation. It is their coop- oration, foresightedness, and concern for their youth which enables us to continue to offer the best possible educational experiences for our stu- dents. Ronald B.

With three years behind us, we the “Class of ’76” looked anxiously ahead to our final year-our senior year. We began by setting high goals which re- quired hard work and dedication. In searching for these goals we learned many things about ourselves and life in general. As we spent hour after hour on displays, skits, raffles and candy sales, we found out one very important life fundamental. We’ve discovered that success isn’t being great seniors who do everything perfect; success is being able to accept the failures along with the jobs well-done. You can’t succeed at everything, we know we didn’t. However, we did succeed! We have grown, individually and as a class, and as we were growing we failed to realize how fast the months were passing by. Before we knew it, we found ourselves in the commencement line. Looking back, we have many good times to recall, memories which will last forever. We would like to thank you Forest Park for giving us these memories and for lending your cherished name to our “Class of ’76”.

The Class of ’78 is proving to be an outstanding class in the areas of sports, band, and academic achievement. We, as sophomores, feel we have reached many of our goals, with many more yet to achieve. This year has proved to be very suc- cessful for the Class of ’78. Our classes first fund-raiser, a popcorn sale, turned out very profitable, our sophomore girls won the Class Tourney, and our class also received their class jackets.

Together, we found we could reach our goals for the 1975-76 school year. Among our successes was the bake sale. Our profits are aimed at one com- mon goal, our class trip. We have been at Forest Park one year now. We feel we have been ac- cepted by our peers and teachers. Our pride in Forest Park has grown into an everlasting faith in our soon-to-be alma mater. We have one year behind us and we are looking forward to three more eventful years. In any case, we are holding our heads high because we are a working unit of our school.

Paul Wendholt Brenda Werne Sharon Werne 17 Wwt Advertising and Support♦ A time to grow... As anyone from Forest Park knows, we are not just a school, we are a com- munity, and as a community we are far from lacking either people or sup- port. During the 1975-76 school year, our community saw fit to build onto the future of Forest Park. This addi- tion is not just a material structure. In- stead, it is a combination of people and support, or hopes and dreams. Our community may not be financially well-off, but it is rich in something more important than money. It is rich with the pride and the caring that carries people much farther than money ever could. On behalf of Forest Park, a school and community, we feel it is time to express our appreciation, not only for the addition to our school, but for the addition to our pride and our dreams- to our future.
