Powder Horn editors, Peggy Golding and Nancy Samek, learned layout and copy techniques at Indiana University. Institutes face work with enthusiastic desire Summer institutes provided stu¬ dents with the chance to gain more knowledge, skills, and new tech¬ niques. More style and creativity were added to the routines of the Cheerleaders and the Pom Pon Corps. Other select Clark students took an active part in band and art programs during the summer. An interest in many subjects drew students to the debate program. Students involved in the Leadership Institute and the Girls’ and Boys’ State Programs participated in governmental proceedings and in¬ creased their leadership qualities. With the intention of learning more about the creation of a fine year¬ book and school newspaper, four Clark students traveled to univer¬ sities in search of such knowledge. The National Science Foundation Program allowed students to learn more about the field, what it in¬ volves, and how it can be applied in the world today and in the world to¬ morrow. Not only did all of these students gain knowledge in their re¬ spective fields, but they also ob¬ tained an idea of what college life is like. Their summer was one of knowledge supplemented by plea¬ sure, while preparing to put their information into use. Deep concentration, a learned part of ar¬ tistic development is reflected by D ' Ann Yoder after classes at I.U.’s Art Institute. Pom-pon girls, Debbie Novotny, Barb Korem, Marilyn Solkey, and Gayle Cuculic attended Vincennes University, while Nancy Samek and Peggy Golding attended Ball State in order to obtain new ideas from their respective summer institutes. National Science Foundation scholars Jim Gaitens, Dan Kaplan and Bob Sluka spent their summers at such universities as Western Michigan, New Mexico, and Indiana furthering their knowledge of science by using the school’s facilities.

Pioneer victory over Gavit fulfills the 1970 Homecoming expectations Band and Flag Corps members set the scene for Homecoming before the victorious game. The 1970 George Rogers Clark Homecoming was just another game on a typical football day: cold, windy and excessively damp. The exception was that for many weeks students labored at the construction of floats, posters, and banners that symbolized one thought: beat the Gladiators! Additional support for the team was displayed on each day of Homecoming Week. To boost the winning spirit, students partici¬ pated in Red, White, and Blue Day, Frontier Day, Button and Bows Day, Hat Day, and on Friday of the week, Blue and White Day. To add to the enjoyment of the big game itself, the Band, Pom Pon Corps, and Twirlers worked for weeks on halftime rou¬ tines. The horn ' s of preparation finally paid off, for Clark slipped past Gavit, 14-13. “Jimmy” Roger Schwartz narrates the Se¬ nior Skit at the Homecoming assembly.
