Future Business Leaders of America The first purpose of the Future Business Leaders of America stated in the Constitution of that organization is to develop competent, aggressive, busi¬ ness leadership. To be eligible for membership in the F. B. L. A. the initiate must have satisfactorily completed at least one unit of instruction in business subjects, be currently enrolled in a business subject, be doing satisfactory work, and have acceptable plans for a program of future study. Such qualities as co¬ operativeness; willingness to work; the desire to serve the F. B. L. A., the school, and the community; promptness; alertness; and dependability are important considerations too. FIRST ROW: Poulos, Coria. Bibbs, Howard, Jelks. Lee. Moore. Tuck. LaMarr.

Citamard Players This year, under the direction of Mrs. Fileff, the Citamard Players have presented three one-act plays, Quiet, Please! , Grandma Pulls the Strings, and John Alden by Request. Also, a special program for National Educa¬ tion Week, entitled Defense Through Education was presented in November. For their annual Christmas production, the beautiful pageant, Why The Chimes Rang was presented. In addition, the well-known Christmas one-act play, Dust of the Road was enthusiastically received. The Spring Banquet, first held in 1953, was again the culminating social event of the year, at which time ten Seniors were presented with the coveted Citamard pin. Citamard Officers Wiries Camarena 42 To give students better self-expression, to teach them the elements of drama and good speech, to in¬ spire an appreciation of drama, motion pictures, television, and radio: these are the aims of the Cur¬ tain Time Players. Open to freshmen and sophomores, candidates for this organization must try out, and are chosen on the basis of their ability. In learning stage techniques the player takes part in several one act plays as well as other drama¬ tic demonstrations. This spring a three-act play, Fog Island, was presented. 43 USHER CLUB Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Florence Cohen, the Usher Club was established this year to provide trained and experienced ushers for school programs in the auditorium. Court¬ esy. tact, plus a knowledge of the seat arrange¬ ment in the auditorium are necessary for the effective functioning of this club. Members are chosen from auditorium clas¬ ses by the sponsor. Greene, Treece. Hodka, Meux, Lige, Wilson, Strong, Franklin, Soterhou, Sheris. Martin. Pulido, Fernandez. OFFICERS Franklin, Hodka, Sanchez, Meux, Nuzzo. STAGE CREW Without the stage crew, the glamorous pro¬ ductions of the auditorium department would not be so effective. These boys help construct, move, repair, and erect scenery and do all sorts of miscellaneous jobs. The behind-the-scenes work of this group is as necessary as the more apparent work of the dramatic organizations. Williams, Hornak, Williams, Daniels, Turner. 45 G. A. A. OFFICERS Qirls’ Athletic Association One of the largest organizations in Froebel School is the G. A. A. whose purpose is to stimulate interest in healthier and happier living through planned physical education, and to promote high ideals in sports. The first banquet was held in May of 1928 the year the club was organ¬ ized. The sports program for each year includes tennis, croquet, handball, and horse shoes in the fall; basketball, volleyball, square dancing, table tennis, shuffleboard, and roller skating in the winter; in the spring, baseball, badmin¬ ton, hiking, and bicycling. The social highlights of the year are: Teen-Tempo, bi-monthly dance; Christmas party for pre-school, underpriviledged children; Christmas Dance; Mothers ' Tea; Volleyball Tournament; and the May Festival Dance and Ban- quet. Mrs. Bessler is the founder and original sponsor of the club. The officers are: Pres., Mae Scales; Vice-pres., Joyce Basarich; Secretary, Geraldine Jnqram; Treas., Barbara Bencie; Soc.

Concert Training in musical theory, mastery of musical tech¬ niques, instruction in exhibition marching are all culminated in the public performances of the Froebel Concert Band. An important school activity and, indeed, an important community service is offered by the band in its participation in parades, the May Festival of Music, and regional, state, and in¬ terstate musical contests. Any high school student may elect band classes as part of his regular school program. After two consecutive years in the Concert Band, a band letter is awarded to the student. Ronald Pickett.

This year the event was held in April in the high school auditorium. For the first time the Mixed Chorus and Girls ' Glee Club took part in this concert, and also, for another first, the Junior Band played several numbers too. A group of parents are incorporated into a Band Booster Club. The band boosters help promote the sale of concert tickets and plan money-raising projects. Cur¬ rently the project is the collection of funds to buy new band uniforms. The Concert Band is under the direction of Mr. Robert Ballway; the Junior Band is directed by Mr. James Beavers.

Thompson. Secretary; C. Smith. President; B. Lige, Treasurer. A new organization at school, the Booster Club, began as a suggestion to the Student Council. A series of meetings followed which could be attended by any high school student. At these meetings the purposes of the Boosters were decided. All school activities should be sup¬ ported; the good name of Froebel School should be maintained both in and out of school. FIRST ROW: Lucas. Franklin, Sheris, Frencher, Meux.

Cheerleaders are chosen by the Student Council on ability, spirit, character and scholar¬ ship. Any Senior, Junior, or Sophomo e may compete for the A-team. The B-team is com¬ posed of Freshmen and Sophomores. The sponso r is Mrs. Frank Elliot. Barbara Lynch, Joan Lacy. Marion Schwartzenberger, Gloria Zacarias. 52 PUBLICATIONS The work done by the publications class this year had its end product in two major school pro¬ jects: The Froebel Flash and Steeldust 1954-1955. The first of these two school publications is the newspaper published every two weeks. Gathering, writing, and editing news and feature stories for the Flash is a never-ending task. The staff is trained as they work to produce the paper. Deadlines, layouts, assignments, paste-ups: all of these problems must be faced week after week by the paper staff. Entrance to publications is gained by the per¬ mission of the sponsor. Anderson, Lee, Kotevich, Malis, Coria. STANDING: Brad¬ ley, Ligon, Lelak, Kasarda, Burch. STEELDUST 1954-1955 Published every two years by the publications class, Steeldust attempts to present a pictured ac¬ count of school life at Froebel. The heart of the Steeldust staff is the publications class. These students were aided by homeroom repre¬ sentatives who acted as a link between junior and senior homerooms and the Steeldust staff, providing information needed by the yearbook staff about the students of those homerooms. In charge of financing the book were Miss Helen Mackenzie, Mr. Robert Osborn and Miss Georgia Bopp. Mr. William Morris sponsors both the Froebel Flash and Steeldust. Basil, Thompson, Malis.

ARTICLE II: Aims: The aims and ideals of the Student Council shall be: To pro¬ mote scholarship, to develop leadership, to render service to our school and com¬ munity, and to emphasize the improvement of character in the students. ARTICLE III: Powers: The Student Council shall have the power to plan and regulate all high school social activities, to charter and regulate all high school clubs and organizations, to draw up rules of general conduct for the high school, to sponsor any activity which promotes the aims and ideals of the Council, and to make recommendations to and to advise the principals and faculty upon school matters. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS STUDENT COUNCIL PREAMBLE: Because we firmly believe in good school citizenship, in unity of purpose, and in respect for the rights of others, and because we believe that in upholding these ideals, we can better serve God, our Country, our school, and ourselves, we the students of Froebel High School do ordain and establish this constitution for the Student Council of Froebel High School. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Geraldine Ingram. John Kostyal and Delphia Lacy. The Froebel Chapter of the National Honor Society, is part of a world-wide organization. New members are elected to this organization each year on the basis of scholarship, character, service, and leadership. Not more than five percent of the llA ' s, ten percent of the 12B ' s, and fifteen percent of the 12As may be members of the organization during any one year. The Honor Society sponsors an Awards Day every year. Awards are made in all departments on the recommendation of the faculty and in accordance with the ideals of the National Honor Society. In order to promote interest in good scholarship, the Honor Society posts the names and averages of all students in school who have a 3.00 (B) or better aver¬ age are on the Distinguished Honor Roll and those who have a 3.0 to 3.4 average are on the Merit Honor Roll. The Honor Society tries at all times to encourage good character, service, and leadership, as well as good scholarship: and no student is chosen for mem¬ bership unless his school records show positive proof of these qualities. PROJECTION CLUB The Projection Club membership is open to any boy in high school who is accepted by the sponsor, George Sandala. This club provides training that teaches its members to competently operate 16 mm pro¬ jectors. Also the boys must be able to splice flims, and do other simple maintenance. The projection boys set up equipment, run films, and remove the equipment for any class in Froebel. FIRST ROW: F. Price, J. Kostyal. T. Mario. J. Cobbs. E. Matthews. R. Marthel. SECOND ROW: W.

The group has been developed to acquaint future teachers with that profession, to cultivate character, and other qualities essential in a good teacher. This year members have been assisting teachers by gathering outside materials for class use. 56 POMPEIAN LATIN CLUB In order to be of greatest service to Froebel School and to afford added opportunities for their own educational development, the members of the second year Latin class on October 20, 1938, elected officers and formed the first Latin Club in the City of Gary. They called themselves the Pompeians. By attempt we hope to inspire others was adopted by the club members as their motto. The emblem, Mt. Vesuvius, encircled with a laurel wreath, represents strength of character and accomplishment; and the colors, maroon and silver, represent courage and wealth of knowledge, respectively. SEATED: Cash. Terry. Swan. Johnson. Keaton. STANDING: Megremis. Rasky. Hornak, Farris. Elieft. Colvin. Brazauski. Imre, Yoko. Kontor, Pappas. The Pompeian Latin Club has many regular annual activities. The first is the initiation of new members. Usually the club sponsors two all-day out¬ ings to the Dunes State Park in October and May, and after a day of hiking and fun, the evening is spent around the campfire. Before Christmas the club sells the traditional, original, hand-made stars for Christmas tree decorations. The highlight of the year, however, is the City-Wide Latin Conference, which takes place in the spring near the Ides of March. This is an all-dav gathering, at a different Gary high school each year. It includes an auditorium program, discussion groups, luncheon, skits, and a social hour with cokes, games, and dancing. STANDING: Smilh. Allen, Jordan. Smith. Lynch. Matthews. White. Wright.
