Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1957 volume:

AEOLIAN—1957 Presented by the SENIOR CLASS A pleasant scene, often repeated, that will be long remembered. GARRETT HIGH SCHOOL GARRETT, INDIANA fe) Our Stud ing ild is Bu is th Perhaps the high point of the year was reached on January 3 when the new cafeteria opened for the benefit and enjoyment of all students and teachers. For the Record... On Film Shooting the stars we hit upon some facts that are interesting to all ... . 26 teachers are teaching 618 students, grades 7 to 12, in classrooms... offering a wide variety of subjects, some required and some elective. Among these are subjects in social studies, mathematics, business education, English, vocational arts, science, music and art, and physical education. Not only have we tried to show extra-curricular activities, such as dances, sports, elections, assemblies, and clubs; but we have tried to picture the curricular side of school through scenes from typical classroom procedure in each department in the school. We hope you enjoy the Aeolian as much as we enjoyed publishing it. It was ours for almost a year. Now it belongs to you. Sponsors O7F0 (0-6) NO 0. 6.

Rewinding the Reel There is a small dark room located on the west side of the high school building. You may wonder about dark rooms; well, that’s exactly what it is—a dark room! It contains desks, a movie projector, and a large white screen. The purpose of this room is to see movies dealing with school subjects. When a teacher has a movie to show his students, he moves them to Room 4. Most of the students find this a pleasure because they think it breaks the monotony and adds interest and clearness to the subject . . . Gaining a mastery of the principles of the English language both as it is written and as it is spoken is the aim of our English courses. Help- ing each student to become a master of conventional rules, not a slave to them, enables him to under- stand and to enjoy literature as well as to improve his own writing and speaking ability. If you have ever seen a piece of paper lying around that looks as if it had been created by the ancient Egyptians, it was probably discarded by a shorthand student... If you have ever seen a y-o-u spelled j-u-g, that was no doubt practice work of some beginning typist . . . Many girls after having successfully completed two years of typing and shorthand are able to secure good secretarial po- sitions without further training . . . The study of government teaches us to be better citizens, and in being better citizens, we help our community as well as the nation in which we live. We also learn the functionings of our State, Federal, and Local govern- ments.

A Peek Into Our Classrooms Mathematics prepares students for every phase of business training; from the ordinary business of a housewife figuring out a grocery budget to the hard working engineer drawing on scale the blue- print for a bridge ... Students training for any sort of business are benefited by the courses offered in mathematics; such as, algebra, geometry, advanced math, bookkeeping, general business, and mechani- cal drawing. Artistic ability is meeded in many phases of life in the modernworld .. . Decorators, illustrators, advertisers, and just artists, who like to paint, are just a few of the various people who are talented enough to secure a job in the artistic business world ... In our school students with a flair for this type of work portray various ideas with their nimble fingers in Room 5. Gym class is essential not only to the body but to the heart and soul . .. Even if students are feeling low in spirits when they go to gym class, they soon become interested in a certain activity and their morale is boosted once again... Gym class includes many different activities; such as, Junior girls perform tumbling antics in gym class which may result in sore muscles. calisthenics, volleyball, basketball, soccer, and square dancing. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics are the dif- ferent sciences that are taught in Garrett High School . . . Almost every phase of life is based upon some type of science . .. Biology takes in all the living organisms and their structures ... Chemistry is an interesting field of science which deals with elements; where they are the uses are, and what can be made from Physics, that branch of knowledge treating material world, deals with general facts mechanics, heat, electricity, light, and sound. The course in Drivers Training is relatively n in Garret High School and has been acquired throu much expense and hard work .. . Students tak this course, which covers one semester, have learned about the important parts of an automobile as well as how to operate it efficiently . . . With this type of training teenagers learn to avoid many accidents that frequently take place on the highways ... In fact, insurance rates are lower for those people who have had Drivers Training. 6 Dallas Opdycke, Tad Schmidt, and Mr. Ober pre- pare what will no doubt be a smelly chemistry experiment. This 1956 Chevrolet is about to be entrusted by Mr. Myers to either Dorotha Bowser or Linda Hixson. Mr. Coble lends a helping hand to one of his talented art students. Almost all the freshmen in this class are learning the fundamentals of algebra. Mr. Edgar modeled the outfit that the visitor-to-the-moon will be wearing soon. Even though Bobby Livergood was a football casualty, he kept up his social activities. ‘ How about that, seventh graders?’’ said Mr. Reitzke, as the annual magazine sale got underway.

On October 4, the magazine sale was launched, door-to-door campaign for all. Success! we reach our goal . . . No, you’re really not seeing things, it’s Bobby Livergood and Janet Moses. Bobby doesn’t usually don a cast for all dances, but this just shows what fun the students have at the Junior hops on Friday nights after each game. Fun and Frolic for all!

Le ventful Happenings On November 14, De Yip-Loo entertained us with a tour of China.

Juniors—Seniors and their guests were highly entertained by the skit performed by Alfred Engle- hard at the Elks,party. On Friday evening, May 4, 1956, Juniors, Seniors, and Faculty entered into the land of ‘‘Fantasy Fair.” We ventured through ‘‘Fantasy Land,’’ meeting such characters as Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Donald Duck, Dumbo, Captain Hook and many more. A huge pirate ship was just one of the centers of attraction. Of course, one of the main events of the evening was the delicious food that we all enjoyed. Shortly after dinner we were entertained by Note and Tote. The band played and we all danced in a world of fanrasy. Finally our journey in ‘‘Fantasy Land’’ came to an end. After the banquet, the Elks sponsored o square dance; the Gala Theatre provided a show; and the Eagles furnished a breakfast. It was truly an evening of fantasy and fun— one that will never be forgotten. 10 ee Of the Year On May 22, 1956, at 4:00 P.M., there was a great rush and scurry in the halls of Garrett High School. This was the day of the annual Junior- Senior picnic at Pokagon State Park. When all had arrived, many donned their swim suits for a “‘dip’’ in the crisp waters of Lake James. This was only the beginning of an evening of fun and enjoyment. After this, such games as softball and volleyball were played. Some went boating, horseback riding, and hiking through the en- chanted trails of the park. The next big event of the day was the potluck supper in the pavilion; there was plenty of food for all. At last the day was over, and all the weary picnickers started home. This day will linger in our memories always... This group along with Alice in Wonderland are waiting for their dessert. These are some of the brave souls at the Junior-Senio Picnic who tried to get thei sun-burn early. ae of ¥ . oe a ee Good sportsmanship, high spirit, and loyalty for the team were increased throughout the season by the work of these yell leaders.

Recognize this? Of course, it’s the Pep Squad doing their regular ‘‘G’’ formation. The Pep Squad has provided much entertainment for the fans and have also done a fine job of supporting the team as a cheering section . . . On November 21, the entire student body and faculty joined in the annual Thanksgiving Service presented by Reverend Vern A. Leonard. 13 Something new has been added to the pep club, the SolliducGle, Reverend Leonard held the attention of the students with his inspiring message at the annual Thanksgiving program. WILLY: Will you please get up off the floor? HESTER: Open wide, Willoughby. STANLEY: What's the idea of trying to beat my time? Lights—Curtains—Action The three-act comedy ‘‘The Inner Willie’? was presented April 4th and 5th in the auditorium of the J. E, Ober Building. It was the story of a young boy, Willoughby Adams, graduating from high school, who had been mothered by three maiden aunts. He found himself in all kinds of situations and troubles. Finally his inner self showed up; a thing that proved to Willy that he really could be himself. The difficulties, met and solved by Willie and Inner Willie, gave the audience an evening of entertainment. The cast included Rick Williams—Willoughby Adams; Jean Starner—Aunt Hester; Jo Hanna Simon— Aunt Louise; Shirley Wappes—Aunt Ogla; Tom Heren- deen—Inner Willie; John Soudah—Stanley Clark; Dan Hutton—Mike; Julianne Burtch—Marybelle Turner; Donna Crow—Trudy Marshall; Dorothy Crow—Janet Marshall; and Carol McDermott—Carol Martin. 14 mu mE aan, ee FIRST ROW: Janet Steffen, Julianne Burtch, JoHanna Simon, Adrian Thompson, Norma Brown, Sharon Felke, Shirley Wappes.

The Latest News Flash The job of streamlining the ever popular Maroon and Blue Streamliner is given to the hardworking and industrious journalism students. There are twenty of them, each playing an important part in making the paper a great success. There is really a lot of hard work in the making of a good school paper. At the first of the year it is diffi- cult, but practice does make it a little more nearly perfect. Some of the tasks done by the journalism students are acquiring subscribers, advertisers, writing and typing the stories, doing the bookkeeping, editing and distributing the paper. This newspaper is one of the very few printed newspapers in a school of this size anywhere. By the way, through the many efforts of the Maroon and Blue staff the paper is entirely self-supporting.

This book contains eighty-four pages, repre- senting many hours of work, recorded for our memory. Although we lost some sleep, a little weight, and once or twice our appetite, we enjoyed every minute of preparing the 1956-57 Aeolian. This year’s book is for you—lest you forget!

Operators Club is an organization which year after year is giving more service to the school. This year they were of great help to many teachers’ in running the motion picture machine, in operating the juke box, tape recorder, slide projectors and the opaque pro- jector. The operation of the public address systems, whether at athletic events, at after-game dances, or in the auditorium for public programs, is another very use- ful service of this organization. The Operators Club is under the direction of Mr. Bateman, who is always on hand to see that the boys are taught how to operate the different machines with the utmost skill. . id FIRST ROW: Charles Wentland, Robert Davis, Sandra Herendeen, Sharon Felke, David Casey, William Rippe, Karen Helf, Phyllis Miller.

They practice their yells and have card drills twice a week throughout the basketball season. After a game, sore throats, messed-up hair, and the plain ‘‘worn out looks’’ are trade marks of this high-spirited club. It is worth all the work though, because these girls are behind the Railroaders all the way. | 7 FIRST ROW: Violet Smith, Carol Fike, Martha Feightner, Norma Brown, Julianne Burtch, Carol Chrisholm, Olivia Cleland, Carol McDermott, Christine DePew, Carol Reed, Linda Harman, Sandra Heren- deen, Susan Hollis, Carol Johnson.

This year, under the direction of Mr. Pugh and Mr. Crider, the Hi-Y has taken on a number of projects. The major project was the annual selling of Christ- mas candy, followed by the co-sponsorship of the Christmas dance, ‘‘Winter Wonderland’’, with the Y-Teens. During the year there were several different types of programs. There were a great many fine speakers; and our combined meeting with the Y-Teens, a play in which both clubs took part under the direction of Miss Schooley, was a huge success.

Junior Hi-Y The Jr. Hi-Y is a new club in Garrett High School this year, under the direction of Mr. Jones and Mr. Lawhead. It has started off with a most successful year, in which the boys undertook several different programs anda few special projects. Their main money- making project was the selling of ball-point pens with ‘‘Garrett Railroaders’’ printed on them. During the year they had several speakers; as examples were Rev. Bush on Thanksgiving and Rev. Sparks at Christmas. The aims and purposes of this very worth- while new club can best be summed up in the opening ‘ritual which states: . .. ‘‘to transact such business as may come before us, to fortify our high purposes through con- ference and Bible study, to strengthen the ties of friendship that bind us together, and to make the Jr. Hi-Y Club and ourselves of greater service to our fellows.”’ Boys on Film FIRST ROW: James Helbert, Secretary; Dale Feick, Pres ident; Gordon Holmes, Vice-President.

When we take a brief look at Y-Teens inside Garrett High School, we see a cooperative group of junior and senior girls. The Y-Teens, a branch of the Young Women’s Christian Association, is a girls’ club, dedicated to a greater fellowship and understanding among all people. The club’s functions are cultural, social, community service, and fund-raising. The regular meetings of the Y-Teens takes place during the activity period on Wednesdays. All through the year following the devotions and club song, dif- ferent programs such as style shows, ‘‘This Is Your Life’’ programs, quiz shows, hillbilly-jamboree dancing to records, and many others are put on for the enjoyment and activity of the club.

Y-Teens “Pictures From the Page”’ Some of the events which marked the 1956-57 year were sandwich sales, bake sales, and bracelet sales. Services to the community were favors for the convalescent home and Christmas caroling. A Christ- mas play was put on by the Hi-Y and the Y-Teens for both clubs in a combined meeting. The biggest social event of the winter season was a formal dance put on jointly by the Hi-Y and Y-Teens. It was en- titled ‘‘Winter Wonderland.’’ The music for the dance was provided by Dale Marshall’s band from Auburn. The school year ended with the candlelight installation services of new officers. This ritual is really very inspiring and emphasizes the religious nature of the Y-Teen organization. These are a few of the many students who enjoyed the annual Y-Teen Sandwich Sale.

Games were played and refreshments were served after the program. The annual selling of Christmas cards was a great success again this year. Susan Hollis and Charlotte Shipe were high salesmen, with their sales totaling about $78. This was the club’s only money-making project. Eviyklia Invanidow from Greece was again adopted by the club.

The adoption came through the Foster Parents Organization and the cost is just $150 a year. At Christmas and at Easter, the club sends her $25 in cash. The club gave Christmas gifts to the girls, ages eleven to seventeen, at the Allen County Orphanage. The spring project was the purchase of more hostess sets to be used for school parties. In May, the club ended this successful year with the annual Mother-Daughter Tea. = FIRST ROW: Kay Akers, Donna Hosler, Patricia Beck, Patricia Davis, Margaret DeLucenay, Louise Fields, Carol Fike, Linda Harman.

The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of agricultural students. The local chapter, with Mr. Bateman as advisor, had many activities this year. The Garrett chapter earned money by selling fire extinguishers and garden seeds. The chapter also sponsored, as a service project, a contest for ridding crops and buildings of harmful pests. The losers of this contest held a basketball party for the winner. One member, with Mr. Bateman, attended the FFA convention. Representatives of the local chapter participated in many district contests including Public Speaking, Chapter, and Chapter-Meeting Contests. The FFA is a club dedicated to the forthcoming farmers of America and year after year has taken an important place in the life of almost every farm boy.

The Garrett High School band, under the direction of Mr. Raymond Cole, had sixty members this year. This includes the twirlers and flag carriers. The band is both a marching band and concert band. For marching, the band had forty-three members and the concert band had fifty-one members. They participated in many activities this year. They marched and performed at all the home football games and also marched at the Bluffton Street Fair. They marched three different times at the annual Free Fall Fair in Auburn. The band played during the halves at home basketball games and for the performances of the twirlers. The annual Christmas program was presented by the high school band on December 21, 1956. Mr. Cole also directed a junior high school band, consisting of thirty members. They practiced two days a week, on Monday and Wednesday activity periods. Many students participated in the solo and ensemble contest held at Harrison Hill Junior High School on February 2. Both the junior high and high school bands participated, as a unit, in the band contest on March 30 at Concord Township. Four twirlers qualified for the state twirlers’ contest. They were Pamela Mountz, Sharon Claxton, Olivia Cleland as soloists. As an ensemble were Charlene Lovette and Olivia Cleland. Deihl, FIRST ROW: LuAnn Meyers, Karen Shenk, Patricia Pfeiffer.

The Garrett High School chorus, under the capable direction of Mrs. Jeanne | Flora, has a total membership of 167 students. The chorus is composed of those students who are interested in singing and enjoy spending their free time doing so. Mrs. Flora has chorus classes all day Tuesdays and Thursdays. This is the first year for mixed chorus classes. The special groups consist of twelve junior girls in an ensemble; the Teenettes, in which there are eleven senior girls; a third group in which twelve boys make up the Boys’ Vocal Ensemble. These ensemble groups appeared in the district solo and ensemble con- test in which they made a good showing. The contest was held January 26, at Central High School in Fort Wayne. These smaller groups also appeared all during the year in many local lodge meetings and similar meetings of this kind. The chorus provided the music for the Thanksgiving program and the De- cember PTA meeting. That program was entitled ‘‘Christmas In Song.”’ A busy and fun-filled season was climaxed by the Spring Concert. This concert is an annual event, and this year it took place on April 12 in the auditorium of the Ober Building. The program was entitled ‘‘Off the Record.”’ VOCAL DIRECTOR Mrs. Flora MIXED CHORUS, FIRST ROW: Kay Sithen, Mary Louise Yingling, Carol Vise, Mary Jo Mitchell, Son- dra Musser, Marilyn Fulk.

On September 5, the 1956-57 sport season of the Garrett Junior High began as approximately thirty-five young, inexperienced, but eager boys came out in full football equipment for the first time. Throughout the entire year, Coach Harman drilled these boys in funda- mentals trying to get them ready to play in their annual game with the Freshmen. Finally the big night came, and even though the Freshmen beat the young gridders by the lopsided score of 33-0, the defeat didn’t dim the excitement of the com- petition. With the ending of the football sea- son, the more familiar game of basketball came into sight. Mr. Harman, after a week or so of deliberation, cut his large turn- out into his two teams, eighth grade and seventh. During the first portion of the season, the sevenths had won 10 while losing 1, while the eighth graders sported a 3-8 record.

Of this number, twelve were returning lettermen of the previous five win—four defeat season. At the end of pre-season training, many were looking forward to another good year for Garrett High School football. The first game with New Haven on the night of September 7 raised these hopes much higher as the locals easily trounced the Bulldogs by the score of 39-0. This was the first win since 1952 from the traditionally tough Bulldogs. The following week, the Hicksville Aces came to Garrett to test the Railroaders. Garrett proved too rough for the in- experienced Aces and rolled up an easy 45-0 score The winner of the Garrett-Concordia game was slated to be the probable conference winner, since the two teams were the powers of the conference. Garrett was favored slightly, and in the third quarter, the Railroaders pushed overa TD, but fate intervened and a penalty nullified the score. From that time on a mid-field battle ragged, and the game ended ina 0-0 tie. The next two games were conference games also. Decatur proved to be much tougher than ex- pected but not tough enough. After a scoreless half, the Railroaders punched over three touchdowns which were too much for the hapless Yellow Jackets. The final score was 19-6. Kendallville also had a good ball team, but a Reserves FIRST ROW: Nathan Wilondek, Charles Wentland, Richard Murley, Carson Culler David Wiant, Thomas Burtch, John Detrick, Roger Blair, Thomas Beeber.

The Railroaders played the Central Tigers for the first time in many years and finally came out of the game on the short end of a 15-0 score. The Bluffton game came up as a ‘‘must’’ game for the Railroaders, because the winner would be- come co-champ of the conference. Down 7-0 at the - half, the Railroaders roared back in the third quarter with three touchdowns and took home Garrett’s first conference championship since 1942 with a 21-14 win. Nappanee journeyed to Garrett on the night of October 19th and took advantage of Garrett’s poorest game of the year and handed the Railroaders the second defeat. Finally came the Auburn game. In spite of the loss of several key players throughout the season, the Railroaders showed that they had what it takes and completely out-played the Red Devils for the second year in a row and trounced their traditional rivals easily by the score of 20-0. With the defeat of Auburn, the Railroaders, easily the best Garrett team for many years, closed their gridiron season happily. Their over-all record of six wins, two defeats, and one tie plus the con- ference championship is more than enough to make them remembered as a really great team.

On October 27, 1956, three days after the Railroaders Cop completion of a great football year, the first complete basketball practice was held. Attending this session were approximately 100 hopeful basketball players. From this number, Coach ‘represented the Garret High School Railroaders Ward Smith picked out the twenty-four boys, who _ in the 1956-57 campaign. These same twenty-four boys, of whom only seven were lettermen of the previous year in- Getts and an Angola player, while scrambling for the ball, cluding only one returning starter, started the SONG ULC e 1956-57 basketball campaign on November 13 as the Ashley Aces invaded the Garrett gym only to be turned back and beaten by the score of 59-58. November seemed to be a good month for the Railroaders as they met and beat Huntertown, conference foe New Haven, and Riverdale all in the same month. However, with the month of December came Garrett’s first defeats. Perhaps overconfidence and hopes for a long winning streak broke Gar- rett’s back as a scrappy little team from Waterloo held onto a last quarter lead and beat the Rail- roaders 45-44, The following week also saw Garrett bowing to their arch-rival Auburn in a bitter contested game, 67-62. Smarting under these defeats, the Railroader team came back to life and won their next eight games without a loss. These included awin over conference rivals Kendallville and Bluffton, a repeat performance as champs of the holiday tourney which included handing Fremont the first of Garrett’s two de- feats over the Eagles, and a victory over tall and talented Central Catholic of Fort Wayne. 76 SS RNTERSETEPMONN ETT ABOMEEN TEGRSTIETNTITT SRT TYPE TY WE ITE ETE I PERS IY PT POG OE Railroaders cut down nets at Churubusco after defeating Fremont to take sectional crown.

Sectional Title With the record standing at 12 wins and 2 defeats, Garrett journeyed to Nappanee, hopeful of beating a very good Bulldog quintet. But hopes were to no avail as the Railroaders were trounced soundly by the score of 61-42. The next week also saw the mighty Rail- roaders upset by the Avilla Panthers, 62-56. At this time only four games remained on the schedule. Of these four teams, three were considered to be the roughest competition Garrett had found yet this year. But the team rallied all their determination and broke a fifteen game winning streak of Albion, suffered a heart-breaking loss to Concordia in the final minute, but came back to upset highly-favored Decatur and win their second conference championship in three years. The game between the Churubusco Eagles and the Rail- roaders really climaxed the season as Garrett peppered the nets for 84 points while holding the Eagles to a mere 32, The next highlight of the Railroader season was the winning of the first sectional crown since 1948. The Railroaders handed the Fremont Eagles their second loss of the entire season in the final game of the Churu- busco sectional by the score of 53-41. In the afternoon game of the same day, Garrett was given their closest game of the complete sectional by Angola who stayed close until the Railroaders pulled away in the last two minutes to win 49-41. Pleasant Lake and Ashley were the two teams who were put out by Garrett on the way to the crown. Garrett entered the Regionals playing the winner of the Kendallville sectional which happened to be Kendallville. The Railroaders were red-hot throughout the game and came through with a 63-45 win. The night game proved to be just the opposite as South hit an unbelievable percentage of shots and expanded a 14-12 first quarter lead to a 63-36 win. 77 The Railroaders take the floor to add the invaders’ scalps to those already seized.

Coach Dick Capin guided his speeds- ters to victories over forty-eight different schools within two months. These included the first NEIAC conference championship in ten years, the first victory at the Kokomo Relays in ten years, and the first win at the Goshen Relays in the history of our school; also, during the regular season the Railroaders rolled over Coach—Richard Capin ten opponents without a loss. The season of '56 also brought into the spotligh: a new kind of track meet. Coach Capin originated ar invitational meet in which all track men from Norther: Indiana who specialized in a particular event came tc Garrett and participated in the meet. More than 125 young men competed against the Garrett squad. Al: though team scores did not count. the Railroaders were again at the head of the list.
