The footsteps represent you as you have traveled this past year. Along this journey there have been undoubtedly a number of pleasant memories you will not wish to forget. In later years 1 hope you can look back upon this as a most enjoyable year in your life. To make an article better, alterations must be made. The goal of this staff was to produce a better yearbook; thus, you will notice a few changes. A section of academics has been added to this edition. The purpose was to draw out the curriculum of our school, demonstrating how classes can be fun and educational. The spring delivery date is the major improvement. Much discussion and thought was given to this decision which was made in the best interests of everyone. To put a yearbook together requires a lot of hard work, an excellent staff, and an understanding advisor. Fortunately the GUSHER possessed the staff and advisor—hard work came naturally. The efforts put forth produced a fine yearbook to be accredited to the staff. As you trace “The Footprints of 1968’’ I’m sure you will always remember the wonderful times and warm friendships developed. These are the great years—ones which I hope you’ll never forget. Appreciation We, the Gusher Staff of 1968, would like to take this opportunity to extend to our parents our appreciation for their guidance during the past years. Their advice, assistance, help, and understanding have all meant a great deal to us. We realize many times we have been difficult to handle, but at the same time we like to think of the many more joyful times that have been experienced. Their dedication and love for us will always be remembered. I Technical problems along the route will be met step by step with applied knowledge gained through ... The Art Department is built around three levels of learning. Art I represents the foundation. It is a familiarization with the materials of art and lots and lots of practice. The Art II class builds the frame-work—an emphasis on art history and the development of individual style. The final touch is applied in Art III. Students have complete freedom of expression on projects of their own choice under the supervision of Mrs. Munsey. Business Education It Balances!!! 80 WAM??? Debit, you say? This gadget is loose. Between the click-click of typewriter keys, come echoes of “Take a letter, Sally,” and Yes, Nancy, you make TEN copies of that letter.” The world of our business department covers many things Typing 1 (hey, I got 25 warn today); Typing II (eighteen girls and ?); bookkeeping (one little broken adding machine, problems, and practice sets); Shorthand 1 (I like to use the dictation equipment, but she always dictates at 100); and office practice (take a little bit from the others, add some business English, some filing, etc.-also nine talking senior girls-and you have it). We have one of the most modern and well-equipped business departments in this section of the State. We can be proud of our business education department. Jr. High Newspaper time-again! I think it looks like a dinosaur. Mathematics Now, put the one on the “C scale over the “D scale and .... yes, Hilda. 10 A MAN-CREATED ART. DEVELOPED TO SOLVE THE SCIENTIFIC PROBLEMS OF MAN Through mathematics, a sense of size and possibility is realized, and man is presented with theorems and formulas with which to make comparisons of objects and situations present in his world. Oh brother! These silly triangles! Just remember the sin curve looks like a flower petal. The path to a knowledge of higher mathematics is.... And 1 thought I’d be finished by now. Home Economics I DO have my glasses on, and I THINK this needle has a hole in it. Here, have another tuna boat. Experience is provided in many field: of home management. Good grooming is introduced on the freshman level. Cooking and sewing, nutrition and fabrics are studied by sophomores and juniors. Seniors begin classes in marriage and child-care. This well rounded program of Home Ec gives the students a glimpse of the many phases of homemaking. n And 1 thought 1 had sharp scissors! 12 Do I have to do that, too? A healthy body encourages a sound mind; so it is understandable that students should be subjected to the strenuous exercise of physical education. Not only does it increase agility and endurance, but it also offers an outlet for tension and a brief refresher from the boredom of the school day world. The trick is to stay calm. After all, what’s one drop too many? DISASTER! The Sciences A little to the left. Careful! It might bite. Biological sciences present a definition of life, what it is, what it can do and learning about oneself through a knowledge of the body and its functions. Physical sciences inspire an awareness of the world in which we live, found in an understanding of the materials of which it is made and the forces causing its activity. Just because your hair is the wrong color... — THE LAST YEAR -ONE TO REMEMBER This is the last one-if you don’t like it. well, maybe we can . . well, uh.. Senior Pictures and Announcements St. Meinrad The November trip to St. Meinrad was an enjoyable adventure for the English IV classes. After a complete tour of the campus, the group settled down for HENRY IV by Shakespeare. The boys left us so we hooked” the guide. Graduation is so near . . . . Gusher Time! Look at That! After being plagued by company strikes, no cover order, and missing plastic protectors, the 1967 Gusher was finally ready-everybody anxiously lined up to get the biggest and best yearbook! Where’s My Receipt? Is the Strike Ouer? It’s a Mod, Mod, Mod World “It’s a Mod, Mod, Mod World.” If you don’t believe it, ask any Beta Club member. That was the theme of the Beta Jamboree held on October 20. Many booths, a cake walk, and the Purple Cow Cafe made this jamboree the higgest success ever. Sir Wayne and the Comets climaxed the exciting night by playing for the dance held in the gym. ROYALTY-ROYALTY-ROYALTY-Queen Marty Dobbs, King Jim Gruber, Prince Robby Spencer, Princess Rane Gunter.

BOYS GHOULS TOGETHER CAST I Letha Dirga Granny Model S Fritzi Washburn Buddy Ford Barbara Ames Hilda Reynolds Eddie Phelps Merry Bean Nancy Brown The Magnificent Marvelini The Face in the Clock Unique would best describe the Senior Play; for in any case, it was unusual. The humorous plot involved a group of American youth on a trip through the Alps and the eerie events that took place during their stay at a local hostel. The hostel was the home of Count Drac-ula and his family of ghouls; and strange things happened when the Count decided that his daughter should marry one of the Americans whose fiance' was also in the group. The clever dialogue captured the audience’s attention and held it all the way to a happy ending. Hard-working committees and prompters formed the backbone of the production, and excellent supervision and direction was provided by Mrs. Mary Margaret Gross and Reverend John Bender. Now, add a pinch of salt. Chili Supper The world of pots and pans was a loud clamor as the seniors hustled to serve a large, hungry crown. BUT silence and exhaustion fell as work turned to clean up. A very successful venture for the 1968 seniors and another step toward Washington. Don’t let my mother see this! 1 told you we would go out to dinner Saturday night. Jennifer is sooooo slow.

One of the more interesting activities is the swimming party at the Evansville Y.M.C.A. Social events include freshman initiation, an exciting event for all but the freshmen; the slumber party always “slumberlcss”; and an eighth grade party. Highlighting the year is the formal dance. This year G.A.A. combined with the INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB to present the theme of “Cherish” to members and their guests on February 17.

It seems that through time we grew from “green freshmen” to “timid sophomores.” These two years were formative years in our lives. Needless to say. we found high school life intriguing and exciting. As we grew into “curious juniors,” we felt we needed to test the strength of our legs— a little too far and we almost collapsed. Now we are seniors. We are ending one journey of our lifetime. A very wonderful part of our lives is behind us. Ahead of us is the unknown future. We will become the responsible young men and women of tomorrow.
