George Rogers Clark High School - Powder Horn Yearbook (Whiting, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1961 volume:

George Rogers Clark High School is located at 1921 Davis Avenue, in the Robertsdale district of Hammond, Indiana, and has an enrollment of 788 pupils: 409 girls and 379 boys. Clark’s faculty con¬ sists of 17 women and 22 men instructors. The school session begins at 8:30 followed by a ten minut e homeroom period in which announce¬ ments are read. Each class period last 55 minutes. Three minutes between classes enables pupils to get to their next class on time. In order to accomodate the large number of pupils who eat lunches at school, there are two lunch hours. The first lunch hour is at 11:30 and the other at 12:30. On Wednesday of each week, an activity period is scheduled between first and second period classes. Because of this activity period, the first, second, and third periods are shortened fifteen minutes each Wednesday. The athletic field, which is used for football, base¬ ball, and track, is located two blocks south of school. Since the school gymnasium is not large enough to accomodate the hugh crowd of Clark boosters, var¬ sity and B-squad basketball games are played at the Whiting gymnasium. MIGHTY PROUD OF IT... 2 We’re proud of our finest cheering block ever, chartered buses for road games .... Homecoming parade .... crowning the queen at halftime .... anticipating the sectional .... cramming for finals .... but always time out for fun .... We produced plays .... Christmas pageant .... insane spring vocal program .... band concerts .... debates .... yearbook .... newspaper .... Clark and all its doings .... we’re MIGHTY PROUD OF IT! Academics Are Important at Clark in the aftermath of Sputnik, the administration has tried to create a mighty fine academic standard at Clark. There still are three courses of study geared to preparing each student for his station is life. Included in the College Prep, Commercial, and General courses is the usual wide range of subjects, but there is an incipient New Look. Biology has been transferred from the sophomore to the freshman curriculum in order to give science education a flying start. The advanced mathematics de¬ partment has been upgraded. The practice of exempting from final exams has been discontinued, so that retention of subject matter is demanded of the students. There has been a reshuffling in the social studies depart¬ ment. A long-standing goal of Superintendent Miller has been realized: driver training. At the bottom of the agenda, and expected soon, is a course in Russian. So popular are summer study programs that applica¬ tions to the University of Chicago’s summer Science Foundation reached a high. Summer school attendance also stood at a new record. Thus, under a hail of satellites and amid the din of moon rockets blasting off, the folks at Clark are taking significant steps toward their academic place in the Sun. Good use is made of Clark’s library. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors check out magazines, reference books, and novels. These resources prove invaluable as research material and supplementary study aids. 9 Four Cultural Horizons Are Broadened Dorothy Troksa and Bob Vater resolve to never again dangle a modifier in Miss McCampbell’s junior English class. During two years of study, Latin students form reading acquaintances with every great Roman from the wolf that raised Romulus to the Emperor Caligula. Mrs. Lillian Wilcox steeps her pupils in Latin culture, apparently to the exclusion of the Amercian variety, since Latin Club holds a yearly slave auction for fund-raising. On the Ides of March, loyal fans crown the bust of Caesar with laurel and wear black arm bands in his memory. Mr. Gehrig, German and Spanish instructor, utilizes such study aids as language records, foreign newspapers, and songs in many languages. The cus¬ toms of the two nationalities are studied in German and Spanish Clubs. And last but not the least of all of these, Our native tongue requires of devotees Book reports, themes, short stories, poetry, Communication of ideas with ease. Spanish students have one advantage over their Latin fellows: live recordings of the language. Here, junior Nancy Small and sophomore Bob Priesol listen enraptured to a recorded lesson in grammer and pronunciation. 10 Seniors in advanced composition discuss desirable contents and make-up of a theme. Margene Witzke, George Chevonec, John Sech, Betty Jo Merriman and Fred Nelson gather around Claire Benne and decide what grade this theme deserves in context and mechanics. Studying not only Latin grammar but also Roman culture is the aim of Mrs. Wilcox’s Latin classes. Sandy Fauth gives a class report on the Roman Senate. Have you ever tried to pledge allegiance to the American flag in German? Jon Fech and Kent Hannon find this a pa¬ triotic way to learn the German language. 11 Logical Thinking Is Emphasized Mathematics, the basis of atomic science, holds in its murky recesses vast opportunities for anyone who dares to venture thither. Four courses in ad¬ vanced mathematics are offered at Clark. Algebra and advanced algebra, offered to fresh¬ men and juniors respectively, involve the study of technical mathematics. Plane geometry, a sophomore subject, introduces geometric laws and the princi¬ ples of logical thinking. Solid geometry and trig¬ onometry develop mathematics in space. The “new look” in the mathematics department takes the form of an accelerated course in space geometry, offered for the first time this year to seventeen select seniors. The course consolidates trig and solid in order to develop a background in college mathematics. A course in commercial mathe¬ matics is available for business-bound students. Bonnie Benko and Bob Ference are at the blackboard in geometry to discuss the finer points of a triangle. It seems that Bob is insisting on the addition of another side. The trigonometry commandment, “Thou shalt not divide by zero!” helps ' seniors Illse Economou and Bill Ignatuk to graph the trigometric functions of theta. After learning to add, to multiply, and to rationalize de¬ nominators of radicals, juniors in advanced algebra dis¬ cover a new roadblock: the imaginary number. in Math and Science at Clark Seventh period biology students gather around Miss Wil- harm as she explains the specialized functions of the var¬ ious parts of simple and compound leaves. A chemical equation may be all Greek to the uninitiated, but it’s one of the things with which chemistry students valiantly struggle. Mr. Edwin Martin rules over the department, which boasted a record enrollment of sixty-three students. “An object in motion tends to stay in motion” . . . until the bell rings. This rings a bell in the minds of Mr. Martin’s physics students. These budding scientists probe the innermost secrets of matter, and there’s nothing the matter with that. With charac¬ teristic gravity, Mr. Martin discounts this year’s scarcity of physics students as simply meaning fewer chemistry students to contend with next year. Miss Wilharm and Mr. Powell lead their biology charges through an imposing gamut of topics be¬ ginning with plant and animal phyla and resolving to heredity. You can always recognize a Clark biology student — he’s the one who’s always pick¬ ing leaves. Juniors Bob Weinberg and Susan Parks study the Uniform Accelation chart in hopes of remembering the right for¬ mula on one of Mr. Martin’s famous 10-point quizzes. Social Sciences Encourage Good Citizenship The academic “new look” extends into the social sciences. In order to meet the demand of our society for well-informed citizens, economics and world history have been added to the list of required sub¬ jects. World geography, U.S. history, and govern¬ ment round out the list. In their study of economics, seniors learn the principles of production, consumption, and distri¬ bution by comparing different economic systems. U.S. history, offered to juniors, concentrates on the events of the twentieth century. The hope is that a clearer understanding of American heritage will produce better citizen s. Comprehension and appreciation of the past world-wide events that have molded the present are the objectives of world his¬ tory classes. In all courses, subject matter is vitalized through the use of such periodicals as Time, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Christian Science Monitor. The importance of gestures, facial expression, and voice variation is practiced by Gary Kaplan in his speech work. Khrushchev in the United Nations has nothing over enthusiastic Clark debaters. The sole purpose of debaters Illse Economou, Mike Kirn, Bob Weinberg, Donna Enright and Clara Welty is to determine whether or not the UN should be strengthened. Commercialists Look Toward Business World The commercial program includes courses of prac¬ tical value to all students. Included in the curriculum are typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business ma¬ chines, commercial math, consumer education, gen¬ eral business and filing. Most popular is typing, since business-bound and college-bound students alike find it a vital skill. Next in appeal are shorthand and bookkeeping. Actually, the entire program is popular, for stu¬ dents from all three courses of study are enrolled in commercial subjects. Practical experience is the focal point. Neophyte secretaries start learning the ropes by typing ma¬ terial for teachers. In shorthand, records are used to practice dictation as spoken language is translated into shorthand symbols. The next job is the trans¬ cription, or translation, of these symbols into typed longhand. In business machines class, students prac¬ tice using the three adding machines, two calcula¬ tors, and the duplicator owned by the school. Con¬ sumer education class expounds on the “hidden persuaders” of advertising and helps students to buy wisely in this hand-over-fist world. This pair of hands is only one of the many that use the typing room each day. Thousands of keys are pressed and hundreds of motions necessary to typing are performed. Future office workers Christine Srncik, Barbara Krzanowski, and Beverly Taylor learn to operate efficiently and accur¬ ately many business machines. Increased speed and accuracy are the goals of Carol Jam- rozik, Diane Wozniak, and Gerry Dubczak as they take dic¬ tation from Miss Coughlan, shorthand instructor. 15 Fine Arts Plus Sewing and Cooking Annedda Dvorshak looks on as Kathy Mikulaj gives Nancy Sotak a taste of her latest cooking experiment. Foods arc cooked so that they will retain their nutritional value. Home economics class trains both the housewife of the future and the career girl. There are two divisions of home economics: clothing and foods. In clothing class young ladies learn all manner of wondrous things. They improve their personal appearances and plan their wardrobes. Fabrics, color, and design receive their share of attention. Sewing class teaches the girls to fit and sew ar¬ ticles of apparel. These are skills that find a place in office or home. The foods classes are dedicated to the transfor¬ mation of haphazard eaters into dieticians. The principles of nutrition aid in preparing appetizing and well-balanced meals. Home management deals with menu planning, marketing and serving as hostess. Girls learn such table-setting techniques as the proper position of the fork, and the techni¬ cal side of folding a napkin. And finally, these classes develop to its highest level that aptitude common to all females, regardless of age, race, or previous condition: the ability to plan a party. During sixth period advanced sewing class, Miss Marie Nord- vig smiles approvingly as Junior Johnetta Mihalo cuts out a pattern, the framework for her chosen garment. Miss Margaret Ide, home management teacher, points out types of china to Norma Price and Louise Abercrombie. The course is designed for future homemakers. 16 Complete Cultural Awareness In shop class, George Zvonar and Jeff Render sand wood, the initial step in constructing their projects. Shop aids boys in preparing for future home carpentry. Every student has creative potential, and if this potential is developed he will be more likely to adjust favorably to the world. Built on this thesis the fine arts department stands. The thirty high school art pupils learn the “sentence structure” of art: the elements of design. These are the properties with which students must work. A major need of the department was remedied recently with the purchase of two ceramic kilns, and it is hoped that the near future will bring further correction of the lack of art facilities. There are avenues open to those whose interest lies in other fields of creativity. Band, orchestra, and the vocal music department cater to the student with a song in his heart. For those of a literary bent there is a class in journalism. Shop class, which teaches the students to work with, and maybe amputate, their hands, plus me¬ chanical drawing, Clark’s answer to college engi¬ neering, comprise the manual arts curriculum. This department is the training ground for future blue- collar workers. Exact measurement, proper instruments, and neat work are essential to mechanical drawing. Pete Duerr and Bob Priest construct diagrams excelling in these qualities. Novel art forms are experimented with in high school art class. Elaine Dufallo and Mike Brenkus create Christmas decorations through paper expansion and sculpture. 17 Intellectual Elite Abbreviate The academic race in the senior class ended in a photo finish with only .001 point separating win and place. Clara Welty closed fast to capture Vale¬ dictory honors, nosing out Salutatorian Judy Gmerek. Both young ladies averaged an “A”. The Bausch and Lomb Science Award went to Donna Mae Enright. This annual honor is given to the senior who has maintained the highest grade average in all science courses. Another science honor, the Elizabeth Lyle Memorial Award for achievement in all biological study, was won by Bob Weinberg. One National Merit finalist rose from the ranks of the senior class. Betty Jo Merriman carried her school’s colors into the 99th percentile on both the National Merit Scholarship and College Board Tests, qualifying her for a scholarship. The Daughters of the American Revolution se¬ lected Patricia Ann Foale as the senior girl who best exemplified the American Ideal. Gmerek, Salutatorian, and Clara Welty, Valedictorian. 18 Missile Gap and Rate Acclaim The Betty Crocker Future Homemaker examination recog¬ nized Sylvia Hernandez as Clark ' s Future Homemaker. Bob Weinberg, Clark’s outstanding sophomore biology stu¬ dent, was honored with the Lyle Memorial award. 19 Mighty Proud Of It G.R.C. So-cuzi “Mighty proud of it . . . Yes- siree . . . G.R.C. . . . G.R.C. . . . George Rogers Clark School.” These words, taken from one of Clark’s pep songs, were very meaning¬ ful in the 1960-1961 school year. Clarkites had many reasons to be proud of their school. Clark’s gentlemen and young ladies realized this and gave their full support and co-operation. A memorable homecoming, the successful subscription drive, and other events made George Rogers Clark a high school to be “Mighty Proud Of.” Clark Social Life — Cutting-up, Laughing, An opportunity to develop fine character and personality traits was given to all high school stu¬ dents. Dances and plays gave Clarkites the chance to become better acquainted with each other. As¬ semblies were not a means of getting out of a par¬ ticular class, but a way of building the student’s character in an entertaining way. The sectionals proved to all that Clarkites are MIGHTY PROUD of G. R. C. The cheering block was filled to capacity. Co-operation was at its peak. All the students wore white, and some received blue collars to make up the “C” in the middle of the cheering block. The “C” Club, wearing their “C” Club sweaters formed a blue border on one side of the cheering block. Enthusiasm for the sectionals was built up even more by the decision to have a caravan of decorated cars honk their way from the Clark parking lot to the Washington Gymnasium. Graduation added the final touch to Clark’s social life. For many it was a joyous occasion, meaning the end of four years of hard work. For others, graduation brought tears. Whether it be tears or smiles, all were MIGHTY PROUD to have been a part of G. R. C. These deadlines are too much!” exclaims Judy Rednar, P N co-editor. Barb Sichak helps Judy with her problem. Conversation topics — Sectionals, Tonight at Eight,” and Wonderland by Night” — stir speculation in the halls. After unsuccessfully trying to puzzel a path around cranes and water pipes, Clarkites finally “join ’em.” 22 and Sightseeing With Friends Trips highlighted the school year. Social studies classes visited the new telephone building and the Chicago Historical Society. The most memorable of all trips was to Wash¬ ington D.C. While in our capital city, Clark sight¬ seers stayed at the Hotel Manger Annapolis and went on a tour which included the Bureau of Print¬ ing and Engraving, the White House, and the Capitol Building. Other points of interest were the Naval Academy at Annapolis; Thomas Jefferson’s home, Monticello; and Arlington Cemetery. George Washington’s home, Mount Vernon, and an evening at the famous Casino Royale Supper Club climaxed the trip. Touring our nation’s capitol not only enriches our sense of history, but provides a chance for full-hearted laughter. During a trip to the telephone building, Ed Shields and Bill Rowley examine a poster explaining the new dial process. Sophomores complete last minute preparations on Home- A windy October afternoon sees Clarkites tacking crepe coming float. More than thirty floats jammed the streets. paper and “Beat Tech” banners to their float entry. The AVO’s flower-covered car broadcasts encouragement to the Pioneer team. Per¬ haps these camera operators visualize a Clark victory as the Homecoming climax. 24 Through Robertsdale and Whiting Excitement and enthusiasm reigned as the 1960 Homecoming weekend, October 21 and 22, drew nigh. Loyal Clarkites exerted their efforts for the success of the event. Faculty members, cheer¬ leaders, and Booster Club representatives contrib¬ uted after school hours to make this year’s Home¬ coming a success. To begin the celebration, a pep rally was held Friday, October 21. The rally consisted of a speech by Joe Jackson, Booster Club president, two senior skits, and cheers directed by the yell leaders. Then, as suspense grew, Carolyn Nickel was crowned 1960 Homecoming Queen by Tom Barlo, C-Club president. On Friday night, the queen and her court were featured amid lavishly decorated floats and cars in the pre-game parade. At the game, the Pioneers were victorious as they defeated the Tech Tigers 19-7. To conclude the festivities, the varsity cheer¬ leaders sponsored a Homecoming dance in the gym on Saturday night, October 22.

Unseen Helpers Bustle Backstage, Help to Two small children of a snake specialist ease Clarkites’ snake-like fears by guiding the reptile into its box. Clarkites saw what assemblies were like from their seats in the audience, but few were aware of the unseen factors which helped the assemblies run as smoothly as they did. One of the most important factors was the stage¬ hands. A VO members set up the microphones and the speaker’s stand and, if necessary, ran films. When special lighting effects and curtain pulling were desired, Stage Crew members were on hand. Another virtually unknown factor was Mr. Arthur Erickson. From his seat in the second row, center section, he gave the signal which started each assembly. When a speaker was on stage, Mr. Erickson gave him signals to speak more clearly and loudly, or, by the use of clever gestures, he even made suggestions on what to do or say. Mr. Erickson scheduled assemblies of two types. Some, such as panel discussions and programs spon¬ sored by large companies, cost the school nothing. The others averaged a cost of $75, paid by profits from the Student Council magazine drive. Clark’s assemblies not only were interesting and entertain¬ ing, but they aided in our cultural development. 26 Produce Assemblies A representative of General Motors shows the Clark audience that it isn’t so hard to create an explosion. In the annual talent assembly, toga-togged Chris Condo educates the student body with modernized Latin “lingo.” Mr. Charlet is the moderator of a discussion on the presidential election. Jerry Bercik talks about past elections, Allan Chilla explains the electoral college, and Konrad Banasak discusses presidential powers. 27 Sectional Enthusiasm Coach Stavros, basketball assistant to Coach Shields, tells boosters the inside story about their team and readies the cheerers for Morton’s stalling strategy. The days preceding the sectionals were filled with excitement and plan-making. Questions such as “How are you getting there?” and “What kind of flower are you ordering?” were asked. Nearly every girl had a flower for the game—either a mum or carnation, both of which came in blue or white. On Thursday, February 23, there was a stirring pep assembly which prepared Clarkites for the games that afternoon and evening. Mr. Mueller and Coach Stavros spoke and senior girls gave a skit. At the game, those wearing large blue collars formed a “C” in the middle of the cheering section. Everyone else wore white, providing a background for the blue “C.” Booster Club members wearing small blue collars and the C-Club members formed a blue border around the entire section. The C- Club also held the hoop for the basketball players to run through. And most important, everyone yelled! The always-high Pioneer spirit reached its peak at sectional time when Clarkites showed that they were mighty proud of G. R. C. The Varsity basketball cheerleaders are Charmaine Macocha, Nancy Matis, Barb Benko, and Patti Poale. Donna Mitchell and Evie Polkinghorn are absent. After hard work by artistic boosters and cheerleaders, clever and colorful signs, which forecast Pioneer victories, are hung in the halls and in the gym. 28 Proves That “We’re Proud of Our Team” It seems Senior Sharon Taylor has undergone some radical changes as moderator for the senior girls’ skit. At the pep rally, Mr. Mueller surprises even the basketball players with amazing facts about each of their love-lives. What’s this — a new variety of students at Clark? No, just the senior girls’ skit for the sectional pep assembly. This banner from pep week not only boosted the team but the team but revealed the theme of the 1961 POWDER HORN. 29 At Eight the Clock Strikes for a Night of “You tricked me, Miller, after I loved you. Now I’m going to kill you!” Lucille, the maid, realizes that Miller has double-crossed her in their plot to steal the “33.” Dramatists experienced additional “acting butter¬ flies.” Another Clark first, “Tonight at Eight,” featured a series of four one-act plays. One of the plays was Eugene Faulkner’s “Two Crooks and a Lady.” The play took place in the library of the home of wealthy Mrs. Simms-Vane. In this setting, the maid, Lucille, and her boyfriend, Miller, tried to swindle a crippled widow out of a beautiful necklace consisting of thirty-three pre¬ cious stones. The climax came when Mrs. Simms- Vane succeeded in turning the crooks against each other and in turning them over to the authorities. The Russian comedy, “A Marriage Proposal” written by Anton Tchekov, was in the series. Ivan Vassilyitch, a hypochondriac, came to the home of his neighbor, Stephania Tchebokov, to ask for the hand of her daughter Natalia. Ivan became a physi¬ cal wreck after trying to ask Natalia to marry him. A series of misunderstandings stemmed from Ivan and Natalia’s chit-chat. Ivan stormed out of the house. When Natalia learned that he had come to propose marriage, however, she quickly had Stephania bring Ivan back. Another quarrel started but was stopped by Stephania who wanted her old- maid daughter to marry. “You, sir, are made of the base metals — passionate, un¬ restrained, and vulgar. You will not succeed in your task,” admonishes Mrs. Simms-Vane, crippled owner of the “33.” “You’re looking very fine today, Ivan Vassilyitch.” “Thank you, Natalia Tchebokov.” Impossible Russian names com¬ plete the farce of the “Marriage Proposal.” Drama and “Butterflies’ In the last act of Thorten Wilder’s play, Our Town, the heavy veil between the living and the dead was momentarily lifted. In the New England town of Grovers Corners, the world of the dead was revealed. Emily Gibbs joined the small group of dead townspeople. Frightened by her new sur¬ roundings, she begged to return to the living for one day. Her wish granted, Emily found only sor¬ row and pain in her experience, for she saw her¬ self blindly ignorant to the beauty of the world around her. This sad realization returned her to her grave much wiser. The mystery of the sea dominated “Where the Cross is Made,” by Eugene O’Neil. Driven by the curse of the fantastic tale told by his father, Cap¬ tain Bartlett, Nat decided to commit his father to a sanitarium. Wanting to believe the tale of buried treasure, yet refusing, Nat finally is convinced of the truth of the story just as his father dies. “Star’s mighty good company .... Used to sit on the porch evenings and tell them all by name.” The dead in Our Town recall the memories of their living days. Captain Barlett shouts to his son, “Turn the pin a half Is Nat imagining the ghostly sight of these sailors entering hour back — the Mary Allen — loaded with gold as I with gold treasure ? After being accused of going insane, swore she would be.” Sue looks at the two with concern. has he broken the final string? McCleery Comedy Presented By Class of ’62 William McCleery’s comedy, “Good Housekeep¬ ing,” was presented on the Clark stage by the Class of 1962. This three-act play portrayed what happen¬ ed when a mother, armed with a psychology book, decided to make her family happy. All action centered around the Burnett family. Charles Burnett was the president of a Western University. Marian, his wife, stopped at nothing to ensure the happiness of her family. Their daugh¬ ters, Chris and Katy, were kept busy by college classes and Eddie West and Nat Kahn. Marian thinks that Charles would be much hap¬ pier as governor of the state. Eddie West, a re¬ porter on a local newspaper, helped her obtain a mandate from the people demanding that Charles Burnett run for governor. The Burnett family was thrown into chaos. Charles was drawn into a clash with Jim O’Neal, the local political boss, and Chris and Katy almost lost their boyfriends. “Good Housekeeping” ended happily when Charles decided to fulfill Marian’s wishes and run for governor. Mrs. Benson, a little perturbed at the way Marian has been helping with the cleaning, plainly states that . . . “she likes to run a house, but she likes to RUN it!” PLAY CAST — Dawn Hickman, Carol Cudek, Pat Fech, Bob Weinberg, Vaike Kuld- saar, Konrad Banasak, Diane Wozniak, Gary Kaplan, Madalyn Moldraski, Mike Kirn, Mary Keith, Gayle Antilla, Fran Condo. 32 “Marion, you should be at the movies and you kids should . .. necking!” . . . are the startling farts Charles states from a report on the dissolution of the American home. “Can’t you keep your mind on the game” wails Chris. Katy, not as calm about the situation as her sister, calls Eddie, her sister’s boyfriend, a “bubble-head”. While denying Chris’ accusation that “all you care about is politics and reporting,” Eddie tells her that there is one other thing . . . government! THE CAST CHRISTINE . MARIAN . KATY . MRS.

Fads and fashions roamed the halls of G. R. C., as students displayed the styles that lead the fash¬ ion parade. Belted tunic vests and bishop coats, styled in bright plaids and soft solids, represented the modern trend for girls. Fringed bandstand skirts revealed knees and colored hose. Crisp over¬ blouses and smartly tailored shirts of bright prints contributed to an attractive wardrobe. Shaggy, brushed wool, and mohair sweaters matched to wool plaids and solids, dominated the scene. In the male gender’s mind, blazers and tie tacks depicted a new look in dress wear. Reversible but¬ ton-down corduroy vests, boat neck and shawl-col¬ lared sweaters portrayed basics for class. Consti¬ tuting their wardrobe were shirts of unique de¬ signs in soft shades and dark wool dress slacks. Pompous ski sweaters and trench coats rated highly with students for casual wear. Kayak coats and corduroy jackets contributed to outdoor fun. This year, imitation leopard was a scene-stealer; leopard coats, hats and purses captured attention. Clutch purses gave way to the bulky handbags displayed by the females. The pointed toe was pre¬ ferred by both girls and boys for dress and school; the varied styles ranged from green desert boots for the guys, to red suede cobblers for the gals. Fads and fashions constantly change; nevertheless, to¬ day’s fashion-minded teens keep pace. Paul Smriga, pointed-toe loafers; Marlene Burke and Jim Sandrick, suede fruit-boots; Marianne Bobos, corduroy ten¬ nis shoes; and Aaron Roy, square-toe loafers. Huge purses, like Margene Witzke’s bone-colored sack, Mary Veenheisen’s brass-accented bag, and Sandy Kotlarz’s suit¬ case, steal the fashion show in 1961. Look at the bulky sweaters! Tom Shields, ski sweater, Johnetta Mihalo, fur-blend crew-neck; Marianne Bobos, dia¬ mond-pattern pull-over, and Joe Jackson, ski sweater. The raccoon-collar coat is worn by Vaike Kuldsaar. Between Jim Stasny and Jim Sandrick, each wearing a trench coat, is Pam Stewart modeling a full-length knit. Donna Macko snuggles in her fur-trimmed shortie, and Jim Paskewietz sports a leather jacket. 35 Excitement of Prom and Graduation The traditional grand march highlights the Junior Prom, Drifting in Dreamland. School clubs and other organizations sponsored sock hops and shoe dances at which teens whirled with perfect rhythm. Records and occasional band music delighted enthusiastic rock and roll fans. This year, teens introduced the “Twist”, “Shimmey”, and “Madison” as three novel dances. The Cha-cha, Stroll, and Hesitation Waltz never quite lost their popularity. Attire depended on the type of dance. During the basketball season, bobby socks and school clothes were worn. The most formal attire was displayed at the Junior Prom. Each class vigorously strived to present a suc¬ cessful and enjoyable dance. The Prom, with all its glitter and grandeur, concluded the school year with exciting remembrances for all who attended. “C’mon everybody, let’s do the twist!” Junior girls experi¬ ment with the novelty dances of 1961. Climax a Jam-Packed Social Year Graduation meant many things to seniors, but for all it meant the conclusion of four years of hard work and rollicking fun. Graduation was the threshold to college, career, or marriage. At the Senior Banquet, seniors recapitulated four years of high school memories, laughing at antics as “freshies” and musing over exploits as seniors. They sent carefully chosen announcements and then solemnly put on caps and gowns for the final ceremony. In their last act as seniors, they marched up the aisle and took places on stage for Commencement. Each senior proudly received his diploma, slowly flipped his tassel, and departed as an alumnus. Terry Moskal and Aaron Roy try on two robes that trans¬ formed the Clark stage into a sea of blue on the day of graduation. “Which cards will I order?” say Seniors Sandy Kotlarz, Mary Veenheisen, and Margene Witzke as they study the samples. vvxvTT 7TTTT7 Mighty Proud Of It . G. R. C. rfctivitied Spattering flats, singing songs, cropping pictures, beating drums, and being with friends were memor¬ ies Clark Pioneers carried with them long after graduation. The more-ac- tive-than ever organizations of the 60- 61 school year strived for a well-rounded education. By taking part in Clark’s ac¬ tivities, Clark pupils gained both val¬ uable and memorable experiences. These were the activities of Clark’s organi¬ zations—of which we were “Mighty Proud Of In 1961.” Thou Shalt Lock Thy Locker The Student Council, Clark’s student governing body, consisted of one representative from each homeroom. Assisting the Council were the Cabinet and the Student Review Board, which tried violators of the code for student conduct and specified pun¬ ishment. The Board also inspected lockers. The Council, under the guidance of its sponsor, Mr. Raymond Buell, made this year one of its most active and successful years. Sponsoring the bi¬ annual magazine drive was the Council’s major project. The funds raised paid for assemblies and Council functions, such as the annual Inaugural Ball at which the newly-elected Student Council officers were honored. The Council also sponsored a volley-ball tournament in which each homeroom participated. The tournament was highlighted by the traditional rollicking game between the home¬ room victors and faculty.

Two nation-wide organizations, the National Thespian Society and the National Forensic League, had, respectively, the purposes of developing the interest and talent of high school drama en¬ thusiasts in the theater, and developing the inter¬ ests and talents of pupils with speaking ability. Membership in both organizations was gained by earning points by participating in activities of each organization. National Thespian Troupe 1769, directed by Miss Rhoda Kittelsen, sponsored the all-school play, trips to Chicago and Purdue Center, and for the first time, a summer theater group, the Shoestring Players. The players presented four one-act plays and a rollicking comedy “Gramercy Ghost.” This year the debators in the Forensic League, sponsored by Mr. Erickson, studied the question Resolved: That the United Nations be substantially strengthened. The N. F. L. sponsored the annual Purdue and Howe Military Academy trips. FORENSIC LEAGUE — FRONT ROW: B. Weinberg, C. Liehe, J. Silvian, J. Tolchinski, M. Levin, M. Trombley.

The National Honor Society had four main ob¬ jectives: to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote lead¬ ership, and to develop character. This organization, sponsored by Miss Veva McAtee, was open to all juniors and seniors who were in the upper third of their class. The National Honor Society consisted of five per cent of the pupils in the Senior Class. Honor Society members were chosen by the faculty on the basis of scholarship, co-operation, leadership, and character. To reward individual achievements and to en¬ courage individual initiative in high school journal¬ ism were the objectives of the Quill and Scroll So¬ ciety. Mr. George Muir sponsored Clark’s chapter, one of 7,500 in the world. Since this is an interna¬ tional honorary society for high school journalists, members were in the upper third of their class. Outstanding work on the Pioneer News or POW¬ DER HORN qualified students for membership in this society which aimed to raise the quality and direct the course of high school journalism.

Taking and cropping pictures, writing stories, soliciting ads, and encouraging yearbook sales were among the many steps climbed in the production of the 1961 P. H. In the elementary stage, there were two weeks of preparation and planning at the Indiana High School Journalism Institute. After conferences with the printer and engraver, work got underway and Clark’s 1960-61 story was condensed into one an¬ nual. Behind the scenes, the twenty-two member staff, under the direction of editor Paul Smriga, de¬ voted endless hours of work toward this annual’s production. Last year’s “All American” honors re¬ mained this year’s goal. In June, after thirteen months of work, the final product was revealed; the 1961 POWDER HORN was distributed to anxious Clarkites. Editor-in-chief, Paul Smriga, checks page layouts as co¬ assistant editors, Donna Enright and Patti Foale, suggest minor changes in the coverage.

Stencils, Stories, and Hungry Paper People Co-editors Judy Bednar and Donna Mitchell give a stencil a final check before mimeograph rolls out the Pioneer News. Each of the staff members, from the paperfolder to the editor-in-chief, had a definite job, essential to the weekly production of the Pioneer News. Clark’s mimeographed newspaper, in its twenty- eighth year of publication, had produced 1200 papers weekly for the student body and over 40 for the schools with which it exchanged papers. With laughter and headaches, the P. N. staff worked late in room 223 meeting deadlines. The process involved in producing the Pioneer News in¬ cluded collecting stories, making “dummy” sheets, typing and fitting stories to the dummy sheets, typing stencils, and finally mimeographing the paper. Four staff members spent an afternoon at the Hammond Times laying out a page for the Sunday edition. Editors of the Pioneer News spent two weeks during the summer in workshops at Indiana University gathering new ideas for producing a newspaper. The Pioneer News, a member of the National Scholastic Press Association, the Indiana High School Press Association, the Columbia University Scholastic Press Association, and the Quill and Scroll Society, was sponsored by Mr. George Muir. 46 Columnist Jean Tolchinsky concentrates on girls’ athletics while Jim Price and Judy Gmerek discuss writing tech¬ niques and feature articles of interest to Clarkites.

These en¬ thusiastic boys comprised one-third of the 250 loyal boosters. The Booster Club, sponsored by Miss Rhoda Kittelsen, worked diligently throughout the year painting banners, making tags, and selling blue and white “Booster Buttons.” Money raised by the “Booster Button” sale was used for the new collar project. Club members contributed their time and effort to make blue collars for the cheering section. The collars were worn at home games. At all home basketball games club members, adorned in the school colors, formed a card section which spelled “HELLO”, “TEAM”, AND “VIC¬ TORY”. The Boosters, in cooperation with the varsity cheerleaders, helped boost the team’s morale by showing their spirit and by cheering at the games. They toot the team to victory — Clarks’ pep band, that is. The cheering section claps to the bands’ lively music and shouts “Charge!” in response to the trumpet’s call. BOOSTER CLUB OFFICERS — Vaikie Kuldsaar, vice- president; Lorraine Noworyta, treasurer; Joe Jackson, president, and Sharon Gabbert, secretary. Frustrated boosters protest an inevitable, but costly, Pio¬ neer error. Now is the time to boost team confidence with the “Aldrich Fight Yell.” 48 Photos and Movies Spark Classroom Interest Without much searching it was possible to spy an A.V.O. member scurrying through the halls of Clark with a movie projector, or a Photography Club member busily snapping a picture. These buzzing activities of the Audio Visual Operators Club and the Photography Club were of great bene¬ fit to the school. The Photography Club, under the direction of Mr. Arthur Erickson, snapped pictures for the POWDER HORN, the Pioneer News, and for the library, track, and gym bulletin boards. The mem¬ bers printed, processed, and enlarged the pictures in the school darkroom. The A.V.O., sponsored by Mr. Paul Wilkinson, supplied the Clark faculty with trained operators for all types of audio-visual aid equipment. A.V.O. members operated movie, slide, and opaque pro¬ jectors, record players, sound amplification equip¬ ment, and tape-recorded music for G. R. C. dances. PHOTO CLUB — FRONT ROW: R. Grigson, R.

S., spent the major part of the year rendering their services to others. The Junior Red Cross, sponsored by Miss Mar¬ garet Ide, carried over its motto “We believe in ser¬ vices for others” through its annual movie project. Funds raised by the project were used for Christ¬ mas good cheer and overseas gift boxes, Easter food baskets, and donations for children’s funds. The movie was “Once Upon a Time”, the tale of a dancing caterpillar. Y-Teens, sponsored by Miss Edna Howe and Mrs. Catherine Dunham, is a division of the Young Women’s Christian Association. Y-Teens collected food and other articles as a Christmas project to bring happiness to the homes of needy families. Sending Christmas gift stockings to orphanages and food to a needy family was the major service project of the Girl’s Club of Christian Service, sponsored by Mrs. Janet Young. JUNIOR-SENIOR G. C. C.

Christian Ideals Underlie Service Projects The impressive goal towards which Hi-Y clubs work is “to create, maintain, and extend through¬ out the home, school, and community, a high stand¬ ard of Christian character.” The Frosh-Soph Hi-Y and the Junior-Senior Hi-Y strived to fulfill this goal by preparing Christmas baskets and by sup¬ porting World Service projects. The yearly projects of the Freshman-Sophomore Hi-Y, sponsored by Mr. Edwin Martin, included the maintaining of a coat check and pop sale at the Clark dances and the sponsoring of their own dance, “Cider Swing.” The Junior-Senior Hi-Y’s Halloween-motifed dance, “Banshee Bounce,” sparked the year’s ac¬ tivities. The group, under the direction of Mr. Paul Wilkinson, sponsored the Easter-week morning re¬ ligious services presided over by speakers from lo¬ cal churches. Poloncak. ROW THREE: C. Condo, J.

Members Sneak Previews of Future Careers The Future Teachers of America was an organi¬ zation which enabled upperclass members to gain insight into teaching programs. Members who had free periods carried out the program in the element¬ ary grades by helping pupils through reading groups and spelling and arithmetic practices. Meetings of the Future Teachers of America were held once a month in the school cafeteria. At that time discussions were heard and refreshments served. Miss Delores McCampbell sponsored the F.T.A. and its activities which included the initiation of new members and the installation of officers, the annual Christmas party for all members, and a school dance. A dinner to honor and say farewell to the grad¬ uating seniors was the final program of the year. F.T.A. — FRONT ROW: R. Phillips, C. Francisco, P. Mor- dus, G. Gordon, P. Foale, S. Nelson, P. Halik.

T 1 j § ' i m b V 1 W J Pill i ' j Jj u 4SI ' The Future Secretaries’ Club, sponsored by Miss Joan Coughlan, was organized for girls in the ad¬ vanced shorthand classes. Members, preparing for secretarial careers, reached a broader understand¬ ing of the importance of the secretary in the fast- moving business world of today. To gain this understanding, the meetings, held every fourth Wednesday, featured speakers who explained the duties of the secretary, demonstrated office equipment, and stressed the importance of good grooming, cooperation and efficiency on the job. Also, representatives from the personnel de¬ partment of various industries described the pro¬ cedure for placing job applications. The most in¬ teresting meetings were those which included the informative discussions with alumnae who had en¬ tered the business world as secretaries and steno¬ graphers.

Whenever one entered Clark’s library, one ex¬ pected to be assisted by a Library Club member who checked out books and magazines, prepared books for circulation, and repaired damaged books. Club members were instructed in the care and main¬ tenance of the library by the sponsors, Miss Harriet Lake and Mrs. Nancy Turner. These pupils, with above average grades and a willingness to work, gained valuable experience in dealing with books and people. This year one may also have expected to be sold tantalizing baked goods donated by Library Club members for the fund-raising bake sale. Orders for the baked goods were taken from the faculty and pupils. Proceeds from the sale were used to purchase books and library supplies. The year’s activities al¬ so included a Christmas party and a picnic for the members. The club decorated a car for the Home¬ coming Parade float contest. LIBRARY CLUB — FRONT ROW: J. Eggers, C.

The Health Career Club and the Nurses’ Club were sponsored by the school nurse, Mrs. Florence Miller. These clubs offered vast opportunities for pupils interested in the medical profession. The club members were informed of the importance of personal and community health. The Health Career Club members became ac¬ quainted with such medical fields as dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, optometry, and physiotherapy through group discussion, movies, and speakers. Girls interested in the nursing profession joined the Nurses’ Club. Club meetings enabled girls to select a nationally accredited nursing school and to evaluate the different phases of nursing. The club members became acquainted with clinical tech¬ niques, hospitals, and community health problems through films, speakers, and tours of area hospitals. This year the Nurses’ Club toured the Cook County Hospital. NURSES’ CLUB — FRONT ROW: M. Mallek, K. Hrash, J. Koney, B. Krzanowski, B. Taylor, D. Smigla, J. Petrovich, M. Knopik, N. Collard, J.

Laurie Gurevitz and A1 Strezco use a poster of a Spanish village in their report. Ironically, during the Christmas season, several Clarkites were feasting upon spicy tacos and ta¬ males rather than Christmas cookies. This phenome¬ non was not so unusual considering those Clarkites were Spanish Club members enjoying themselves at the club’s annual Fiesta de Navidad, or Christmas party, which sparked the year’s activities. High¬ lights of the party included the breaking of the piiiata and the enjoying of Spanish dances, games, and songs. Additional activities included the sponsoring of a dance and a spring picnic. During activity period the members listened to novel Spanish dialogues and invigorating Spanish music. Through the Spanish Club, members were able to acquaint themselves with the customs, habits, and historical background of their neighbors to the South. SPANISH CLUB — FRONT ROW: C. Witkewicz, S.

The slave auction and other activities of the club, such as celebrating the Ides of March, the Roman Saturnalia, and St. Valentine’s Day in a strictly authentic Roman fashion, were so designed as to give the Latin pupil a better understanding of Ro¬ man life, customs, myths, holidays, and history. Other important background material was sup¬ plied through activities such as acting out short skits, and making Latin derivation charts and Ro¬ man calendars. Preceding the majority of the club’s activities was the “Latin Sodalitas” or the election of both Latin Club officers and the heads of the various committees which helped make the club a success. Miss Lillian Wilcox was the sponsor. LATIN CLUB — FRONT ROW: J. Smigla, N. Soptich, T. Konechni, G. Troksa, B. Ference, D. Stombaugh, E. Oxford, B Yakish, S. Greenberg, K. Kurasz, S. Fauth.

Minister Spreads German Propaganda The election of the Reichschancellor, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Propaganda and People’s Enlighten¬ ment, and the Minister for Public Cooperation be¬ gan the year’s activities of the German Club. The club is sponsored by der Fuhrer, Herr Gehrig. A Beer Hall Putsch added flavor to the German- Club year. The club also purchased additional rec¬ ord albums for their growing library of German music and the advanced study of Vader culture. As June rolled around the members participated in an end of the year party. Through the activities of the German Club, the members gained a better understanding of German culture and were able to conceive a comprehensive picture of German life through a close study of the German society and the German musical tastes.

The microscopic world of the amoeba and the paramecium was just one of the fascinating realms into which members of the Biology Club wandered. The Biology Club, sponsored by Mr. Edward Powell, was organized seven years ago for those pupils interested in expanding their biological knowledge. Movies dealing with different phases of biology and field trips were used to arouse interest in science. The only requirements for membership in the club were the sincere desire to gain extra know¬ ledge in the field of biology and the willingness to make a science project. Among the wide range of projects submitted this year were microphotogra¬ phy, microprojectors and plant and animal life projects. The best projects were entered in the Hammond Science Fair held in the spring. BIOLOGY CLUB — ROW ONE: P. Dzurilla, J. Madejewski, B. Domagalski, N. Miller, J. Pasiak, K. Gregorovich, J. Means, D.

Not only did the depart¬ ment members participate in winter and spring con¬ certs, but they also visited and performed at many activities not required of a Vocal Music Department member. One group heard the Rockefeller Memorial Choir present Handel’s Messiah; other groups vis¬ ited various hospitals and sang for the patients. The Vocal Music Department was composed of many groups, most of which met outside of class. These outside-class groups were Harmoneers, with thirty-five boys; Harmonettes, with twelve girls; Boys’ Ensemble, with twelve members; Boys’ Quartet; Girls’ Quartet; and Madrigals, with six¬ teen singers. All of these groups sang for concerts and outside events. The other groups of the depart¬ ment met during class periods. The Girls’ Glee Club, with eighty-eight members who met Tuesday and Thursday during a morning period, was the largest group of the department. Girls’ Choir, consisting of thirty-three members, met seventh period every day. A Cappella, made up of fifty members who met third period every day, was the advanced group of the department. Its members were considered “the best of the department.” Vocal music pupils not only sang during class¬ time and before and after school but also invaded the music room during activity periods. While the music enthusiasts relaxed at Hi-Fi Club, they en¬ joyed listening to recordings that ranged from con¬ temporary jazz to symphonies and chorals. A CAPPELLA CHOIR — FRONT ROW: R. Philips, S.

The profits from this fund-raising project amounted to seven hundred dollars which was used for the repair of instruments and a band party. The art of salesmanship, of course, was only sec¬ ondary to the musical talents and accomplishments of the band. The sixty member band, under the di¬ rection of Mr. Carlyle Snider, participated in par¬ ades, contests, concerts, pep rallies, high school as¬ semblies, the annual Music Festival in Hammond, and half-time performances at home football games. The band participated in a Winter Concert in January and also a Spring Concert in May. At the SENIOR BAND — FRONT ROW: P. Fech, S. Halik, E. Rosenstein, J. Tolchinsky, J. Burkey. ROW TWO: B.

This year the band participated, for the first time, in an outdoor summer concert held in August. The pep band, which performed at home basket¬ ball games and at pep rallies, added spark and ex¬ citement to the games and helped boost school spirit and team morale by playing peppy songs and fiery marches. At the shriek of the bugle in the pep band, the team instantaneously “charges” its way to vic¬ tory. Silvian, J. Stiller, B. Weinberg, P. Duerr, L. Appleman, B. Sabol. ROW FOUR: S. Parks, B.

Violins Proclaim “I Like Ludwig” Clark’s enthusiastic orchestra regularly filled the halls around room 13 with the strains of beautiful music. Rehearsing daily during fourth period under the direction of Mr. Darwin Eret, the orchestra pre¬ pared for its annual spring concert. This year the concert was given with the vocal department. In March, qualified members of the orchestra journey¬ ed to Manchester College in North Manchester, In¬ diana, for the Northern Indiana String Youth Or¬ chestra. In past years it has been directed by such men as Arthur Fielder. In addition to the rehearsals, the orchestra mem¬ bers celebrated Beethoven’s birthday with a birth¬ day party. On this gala day, orchestra members were garbed in “I Like Ludwig” garments. Early in the year, the orchestra participated in the district contest for string and band instruments and vocal contestants. A Vivaldi duet was entered in the competition. After hours of practice, soloist Nancy Small will be ready to enter violin contests. Now Mr. Darwin Eret is helping her with a difficult movement from a Vivaldi composition. ORCHESTRA — FRONT ROW: I.

The weekly meetings began with the girls doing limbering exercises followed by work on their own compositions in which they try to express their feelings and moods in rhythm. Besides performing in the Spring Concert, the year’s activities included holding tryouts, initiating new members, and improvising costumes and dance routines for programs. Since Modern Dance was organized in 1949, the girls have performed at festivals, P.T.A. meetings, assemblies, and concerts. Miss Doris Myers is the new sponsor of the group.

Drama Enthusiasts From “Beat” Generation? The purpose of Clark’s Drama Club was to further interest and experience in the fields of interpre- ation, acting, direction, and stage mechanics and to develop insight towards literary works. The Masques, as the club members called themselves, was sponsored by Miss Rhoda Kittelsen. These ambitious members worked on plays, skits and tableaux which were presented to the student body. By acting out pantamines, they gained valu¬ able stage skill and confidence. Although Drama Club membership was limited to freshmen and sophomores, upper classmen who were members of the honorary National Thespian Troupe No. 1769 were invited to join. Being admit¬ ted to the National Thespian Troupe was the de¬ sire of every Drama Club member, for the Thes¬ pians were entitled to more advanced dramatic privileges. The Thespians read and considered plays for production. They determined the possibility of production on Clark ' s stage by evaluating costumes, properties, and scenery. It seems Ben-Hur has made a hit on Clark’s Stage too. Judy Gmerek and Chris Condo pantomine the flogging scene from the Oscar-winner. DRAMA CLUB — FRONT ROW: M. Reffkin, C. Tkacz, R. Phillips, A.

The Clark light switchers and curtain pullers possess the “secret ingredient.” They are Dick Wetnight, Chuck Bracas, and Mary Ellen Wasieleski. There was a “secret ingredient” in our school which helped to make almost all school activities a success. Of course, this “ingredient” needed people and tools to help it function. These people were ordinary students and the tools were ordinary tools. The only difference was that they both belonged to Stage Crew. The “secret ingredient” was work. Stage Crew devoted its time and energy to mak¬ ing all stage productions a success. This year, be¬ cause the membership was so great, the group had to be divided into two groups. As a combined effort, Stage Crew worked on props, costumes, make-up, lighting, and sound effects. Miss Rhoda Kittelsen, the sponsor, stressed work and co-operation. Stage Crew got its operating money from the all-school play and from renting lighting equipment to various clubs for dances. This year, for the first time, Stage Crew received additional money from a night of one-act plays. This money was used for the pur¬ chase of new tools.

Competitive Sports Stressed in GAC Wanna buy a taffy apple!” In its biggest money¬ making project of the year, GAC sold candy, hot chocolate and coffee, and taffy apples at home foot¬ ball games. This money helped pay for Thanksgiv¬ ing baskets, the picnic, and the climax of a sport- filled year — the Girls’ Athletic Club Banquet. Four sports dominated after-school hours. Dur¬ ing the first semester, members concentrated on softball and swimming. After the Christmas vaca¬ tion. eager bowlers created a din with the crash of lofted balls, and tense teams played hard during the all-important basketball tourney. The winning basketball team and the high-average bowlers re¬ ceived trophies at the Mother-Daughter Banquet. GACers took part in another out-of-school activi¬ ty, the picnic. On a brisk fall day, two busloads of girls sang their way to Marquette Park. Winners of relays were honored with beautiful lollipops, an unneeded addition to their huge lunches. 86 On Your Mark, Get Set, Go! “On your mark, get set, go!” This was a common phrase heard in the lower halls of G. R. C. Clad in conventional attire, both the males and females in G. R. C. gym classes ambitiously worked to improve their physical culture. All students were required to participate in four semesters of physical educa¬ tion. Miss Leota Kenzie and Miss Doris Myers were in charge of the girls’ athletic program. The fe¬ males at Clark were taught poise and good sports¬ manship as well as the skills of athletics. Boys’ gym classes were taught by Mr. Joe Frank¬ lin. The males worked equally as hard as did the females at calisthenics and at the fundamentals of spo rts. The entire physical education program was di¬ rected toward producing well-rounded students. Be¬ sides physical fitness, mental attitude was empha¬ sized in the physical education program. Tarzan? No. This is Dan Sabol who is about to swing across the gymnasium on the rope used to build the physique. “Now that I’m up here, coach, how do I get down?” in¬ quires a puzzled freshman as he flies through the air. “I don’t shoot poorly, someone keeps moving the basket!” exclaims Sharon Gootee as she attempts to sink the ball. 87 Mighty Proud Of It. The halls were filled with talk before homeroom and with laughter between classes. Class¬ rooms, important places for study, became meeting places where friend¬ ship also developed. Each class dis¬ covered its leaders and everyone pitched in with work on class dances and school activities. Homecoming, the night of one-act plays, and the spring concert were successful because of student work and support. Friendly Clark- ites made G. R. C. something to be “Mighty Proud Of In 1961.” As Freshmen We Began the 4-Year Routine By The Class of 1961 officially began on September 9, 1957, under the sponsorship of Mr. Oral Watkins and Mr. Michael Hriso. Our first major undertaking as freshmen was the election of officers to lead us in our first year. “S pring Fantasy,” our first class dance was the most remembered event of our freshman year. In the early part of our sophomore year, we chose our class rings. Next, we again presented a class dance, “Have Sock, Will Hop.” As juniors, we produced our play “Parlor Story,” and diligently worked long hours on our Prom, “Drifting in Dreamland.” At last we were seniors! Our senior class dance, “Melodious Memories,” the ordering of name cards and announcements, the fittings for our caps and gowns, our senior banquet, our senior class day, and bacca¬ laureate will remain in our thoughts forever. 1961 — Jim Price, president; Dave Seitz, vice-president; Carolyn Nickel, secretary; Bob Shumaker, treasurer. 1959 — Illse Economou, president; Bob Shumaker, vice- president; Nancy Matis, treasurer; Kathy Davis, secretary. t 1960 — Aaron Roy, vice-president; Sharon Taylor, secre¬ tary, Jim Paskweitz, president; Bob Shumaker, treasurer. 1958 — Mr. Hriso, sp.; Tom Shields, vice-pres.; Jim Pask¬ weitz, sec.; Betty Blaskey, trea.; Aaron Roy, pres.; Mr. Watkins, sp. 90 Making New Friends and Blending in the Scene.

Honor For Our Sponsors Who Did Excel. Mr. Michael Hriso, sponsor. Mr. Oral E. Watkins, sponsor. Now that you are leaving our school to become members of the great number of alumni who have preceded you, may you always have pleasant mem¬ ories of your association with students and teach¬ ers of Clark High School. May you apply with diligence, patience, and in¬ tegrity the knowledge, skills, and judgement necessary to meet the challenging experiences which lie ahead. We have enjoyed working with you through these high school years, observing you develop the traits so necessary for successful living in our great de¬ mocracy. You will find many problems to be solved, countless decisions to be made, and numerous op¬ portunities to serve your community and nation. Some of you will continue your formal education by attending colleges and universities; some will join the ranks of those engaged in industry; some others will join the armed forces of our great na¬ tion. May all of you in these various undertakings find opportunities to grow in stature and experience. May you find the lessons you have learned to be helpful and applicable regardless of your calling.

Mr. 0. B. Hayward, Ph.B., A.M., principal Once again the POWDER HORN brings in review the story of the year’s activities at George Rogers Clark High School. It is a record to be proud of: excellence in scholarship; in athletics and sportsmanship; in publications, music, dramatics, and debate; in the ser¬ vice activities of students; and in the program of the many special in¬ terest groups too numerous for separate mention here. It is a record that augurs well for that other record which never ap¬ pears in the pages of the POWDER HORN, the record of the graduates of G. R. C. in college, in business, and in the every day walks of life. That record also we may be proud of. We are indebted to the sponsor, the editor, and the staff of the POWDER HORN for a job well done. Thank you. o. Counsel Us For the Future Counseling and advising students on recommended programs are Miss Veva McAtee, Director of Guidance, and Mr. Arnold Corder, Guidance Counselor. Included in their wide range of activities are personal and general guidance, programming, class counseling, employment advising, maintaining permanent records, conferring with parents and students, interpreting grades and test scores, adjusting attendance problems, ar¬ ranging home-school adjustments, and keeping personality records. The purpose of a guidance program is to acquire new and effective methods for understanding the students as individuals, and to anticipate their needs, interests, and abilities. Through this understanding, the guidance department can give the students the necessary opportunities and encouragements into the proper channels. Miss Veva McAtee, the Director of Guidance and Guidance Counselor for Sophomores and Seniors this year, adds to her busy schedule by spon¬ soring the National Honor Society and the annual College Day program. Mr. Arnold Corder assists Miss McAtee in the guidance department. He is also the Guidance Counselor for the Freshmen and Juniors, and the Boys’ Counselor and Advisor. Aiding the guidance department is Miss Edna Howe. Miss Howe is in charge of the group testing program and teaches commercial subjects. Among other activities, she sponsors the Clark Y-Teens.

Help Us to Succeed Miss Wanda Wilharm, who teaches world geogra¬ phy and biology, has interests that vary from as¬ tronomy to her most prized possession, Wong, her Pekingese dog. Miss Wilharm received her Bachelor of Arts in Earth Science at Iowa State Teachers’ College. “I have found teaching the most challenging of professions. To me, it is more than an occupation; for its rewards cannot be measured by a monetary standard. I believe a teacher must accept a student at the level of attainment he has reached, and pro¬ ceed by guiding, directing, stimulating, and chal¬ lenging him to investigate unknown realms. If one really understands an important and interesting subject, he feels a genuine desire to explain it to others.” This is her philosophy of teaching. Emerson Aldrich . . . B.S., M.S. . . .

Snider, bandmaster at Clark, at¬ tended Vander Cook Sch ool of Music, University of Miami, Indiana University, and received his Master in Music Education at the American Conservatory of Chicago. He came to Clark in 1944 and hopes to stay long enough to see “better band quarters.” “The surest approach to appreciation of good music is through actual performance of worthwhile musi¬ cal literature. Students who are willing to strive for high quality musical performances will develop habits of careful workmanship and desires for ex¬ cellence that can be valuable in various fields of en¬ deavor. Participation in a musical organization is a co-operative venture where students learn to sub¬ jugate self interests to the interests of the entire group”. This is his philosophy of teaching. 121 . . . Patiently Teach Us Doris I. Myers . . . B.S. . . . Physical Education . . . Girls’ Athletic Club . . . Cheerleaders . . . Modern Dance . . .

Miss Helen Wulkotv, teacher of English and liter¬ ature, attended the University of Denver and North¬ western University. She graduated valedictorian of her class at Northwestern U. and has degrees that entitle her to teach world and American history, government, Spanish, and all fields of English. Miss Wulkow formerly taught at Edison School in East Lansing, Michigan, and was on the Homecoming Committee here at Clark. A movie camera was given to her by the Class of ’58, and she has developed a hobby of taking home movies. Her philosophy of teaching is: “The purpose of teaching English is to communicate ideas with cor¬ rectness and alertness to the changing world whether among nations or constellations. From lit¬ erature develops a philosophy of life to adapt to the changing world in true happiness.” . . . Lead Us to Graduation These teachers were ones who started the second semester at Clark.

Mr. Watkins spends Monday nights with the teacher’s bowling team and enjoys all sports. He was on the Homecoming Committee and was Co-Sponsor of the Class of 1961. This is his philosophy of teaching: “Students should gain, most of all, a feeling of self-dependence and enjoyment from a task well-done. I firmly be¬ lieve that a task or job worth doing is worth do¬ ing well. A person who does something in a half¬ way manner is doing an injustice to both himself and the task. Most students need to develop more self-reliance and individual thinking. My biggest satisfaction in teaching is to see a student achieve a goal on his own.” 123 . . . Supply Our Needs The Hammond Board of Education, under the capable direction of Superintendent of Hammond schools, Mr. R. B. Miller, influences the students’ school lives a great deal. The School Board directs the funds for the entire Hammond system. It is under the board’s guidance that the programs in the various Hammond schools are carried out with great dexterity and punctuality. The board has made it possible for Clark to use facilities which provide for both educational and recreational development. Mr. Miller has been at his present duties since December 1, 1959. He has been planning for the future for some time, even before being elected to the office of Superintendent. He hopes that before long, classes in driver-training and Russian will be offered in all Hammond schools. R. B. Miller, former principal of George Rogers Clark School, is now superintendent of Hammond Public Schools. Dr. H. W. Eggers, member; Mrs. Margaret Allen, secretary; Mr. R. B Miller superintendent; N.

We will never forget the “fun” we had taking pic¬ tures, writing stories and captions, soliciting ads, and listening to the squeaking chairs in the P.N. room. Eating Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Cokes kept us going in the late after-school hours. Seriously, the staff and I feel we have produced a book in which 1961 has been captured to last a lifetime. This year was captured in print to show the phases of student life in sports, activities, academics, and social life. The year 1961 was por¬ trayed in this book to show forever that we were “Mighty Proud Of George Rogers Clark in 1961.” 160
