Beginning another chapter in its forty- year history, Griffith High School moved to a new building and a three- year system this year. With its graduat- ing class growing from eight to over two hundred, and with the educational needs of each student growing, the new facilities were erected to meet the chal- lenge. Years of planning made possible the transition from the first four-room brick school on Broad Street to the roomy modem one with shiny new equipment. Rooted deep in the past, the school looks forward to a solid future from an old foundation. WORKMEN HURRIED TO complete the building before the September rush of stu- dents. STUDENTS SOON DISCOVERED the patio as a quiet place to relax and talk during the lunch hour. Tears of Planning Afford a Solid Future from an Old Foundation EVIDENCES OF WORKMEN lingered about the building during the first few weeks of school. 3 Formal Dedication Program Held October 25 in A uditorium; ENTERING VISITORS USE the new high school main entrance facing Wiggs Street. Of- fice assistants dressed in formals passed out programs and helped with seating. Highlighted Years of planning were brought to completion with the formal dedication of the new building October 25. The first event held in the new auditorium, the program was witnessed by friends, parents, and townspeople. Speeches by the school board presi- dent and the junior and senior high school principals followed the official presentation of the building by the presi- dent of the junior-senior high school building corporation. The superintend- ent of schools delivered the main ad- dress. THE JUNIOR HIGH band and the senior high choirs perform during the ceremonies. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Dr. Paul Schilling delivers the main speech of the day. Seated in the front row are Mr. Wil- liam Somsel, junior high principal; Mr. For- rest Sheely, senior high principal; Mr. Ray- mond Underwood, school board member; Mr. Jesse Sheets, board member; Mr. Ronald Regnier, board member; Mr. John Hilbrich, attorney for the School Town of Griffith; and Mr. Ira Roberts, former school board member. 4 Speeches , Music, and Tours of Building Planned Activities for Students and Visitors Immediately following the scheduled program, the audience was invited to remain for open house. National Honor Society members conducted tours and Student Council representatives stood at strategic spots all over the building to answer questions and give directions. Everyone wanted to see the swimming pool, but the students — newly-acquaint- ed with the building themselves — had troubles with directions. Other popular spots were the greenhouse, science labs, shops, and language lab. JOHN COLLET AND Carol Wade talk with Mr. Ray Weaver, who stands behind the language lab console. RANDY HART SHOWS his mother the new equipment in shop. Changes in the shop ' program accompanied the new facilities. VISITORS VIEW THE plants in the greenhouse that are cared for by the biology classes and the Horticulture Club. 5 A knowledge of the world, as it is and was, gives students a better pic- ture of how they must fit into the world of tomorrow. Psychology, sociology, and contem- porary affairs are offered as well as the required social studies classes in history ' , government, and ec onomics. Everyday happenings and world af- fairs are the main topics in the cur- rent events class. Psychology classes visited Beatty Memorial Hospital for a day and aid- ed the sociology classes in taking a town-wide occupational and educa- tional survey for the school adminis- tration. JACKIE VAUGHN POINTS out the advantages and disadvantages of stocks and bonds to seniors in economics. Social Studies Enhances Knowledge of Native and Foreign Peoples , Then and Now, and Serves as Basis for Future TED COOK SHOWS his U.S. history class the area included in the Louisiana Purchase. Maps and charts form an essential part of many social studies courses. “CURRENT” NEWSPAPERS PROVIDE a change of pace in world history. Here, stu- dents read of the fall of Constantinople. 6 LANA HENDRICKSON demonstrates an important p art of grammar — diagramming. IN DRAMATICS, JANET Taylor takes on an appropriate expression in answer to Mary Lu Wagner’s lines. English is very closely associated with all other subjects. For instance, though grammar is studied in Eng- lish, it is applied to every written as- signment-history, psychology, health — anything. To be able to write heads and copy in journalism, a good vo- cabulary and understanding of sen- tence structure are imperative. In order to effectively act out scenes from plays in dramatics class, one must have previous knowledge of the meaning of the lines — knowledge gained in the study of English. SENIORS LISTEN INTENTLY to a selection from their literature AS MRS. LYNN Lucas makes the characters seem real with her book . . . interpretation. English Forms Foundation for Expressing Knowledge Gained in All Other Subjects 7 “WHAT’S THE QUADRATIC formula?” Mr. Richard Ellis waits for a response from his Algebra II class as they go over the previous day’s assignment. Students Tackle Conventional Math or Work at Their Own Rates in Temac Programmed Courses PATTY HARDER CONSTRUCTS the illustration for a proof in geometry. Other members of the class follow along in their books. Math students have two choices when they select their courses — they can take conventional classes or Temac programmed learning. With Temac a student works individually at his own rate. He covers the material by an- swering questions or working out prob- lems in numbered frames and then checking his results immediately against the correct answers. Some students are able to complete college level courses such as Calculus II. For those who prefer and learn bet- ter under the give-and-take of class- room discussion, regular classes are of- fered. DON STACHURA, WITH his Temac book and supplement spread before him, works out an answer for a frame in plane geometry. The correct answer will appear when he pulls down the flap at the right of his book. 8 Foreign Customs , SPANISH II STUDENTS listen to tapes of native speakers in the lab. They make re- sponses to the questions and grammar drills which form an important part of the class work. Lab , Add Interest to French , Spanish Language Classes With the new lab and the shortwave radio, languages had an added intrigue for many students. The radio receives programs from all over the world, al- though those nations of primary in- terest are France and Mexico. At Christmas an exchange program was held with the French students singing French carols to the Spanish classes in return for a presentation of Spanish carols. Also, the Yuletide cus- toms of France and Mexico were ex- changed between classes. GARY BULLARD WRITES a sentence on the board in French class. Reading, listening, writing, and speaking are all stressed in the language classes. READING THE DIALOGUE to the class, Mrs. Dorothy Blum waits for them to repeat after her. The imaginary conversation concerns an everyday situation. 9 THE PHYSICS CLASS measures the rate of acceleration of small cars on inclined planes. Motion, heat, light, and electricity are discussed in physics, the most advanced science course offered. Students in Physics, Biology, and Chemistry Classes The World of Plants, Animals, Energy, and Matter SPINNING AROUND ON a revolving pedestal, Bill Kroskroskia illustrates a law of motion concerning precession. Dramatic demonstrations help the class to remember principles from the book. TERRY JOY TAKES observations in his lab manual as Tom Scurtu and Maurice Gov- ert prepare charcoal. PAM DURBIN PLACES an unwilling mouse into a testing apparatus. Pam did a research project on the effects of filtered and unfiltered cigarette smoke on mice. IRENE EIDENAS AND Ziggy Siurek do a little maintenance work in the greenhouse. Biology classes grow specimens for study. Explore with Experiments and Research Projects with New Apparatus in Laboratories and Greenhouse Dissecting a frog in biology or prepar- ing oxygen from potassium chlorate in chemistry — these and other lab pro- cedures make vivid explanations or proofs of the principles stated in the textbooks. Science courses are given top priority by those students who plan to go to college, but they also hold a certain fascination for all who wonder about the hows and whys of everyday phenomena. The new science labs, complete with all types of modern apparatus for ex- periments, allow for more elaborate demonstrations and proofs. Individual projects make the learning of science an involving personal experience as it continues to increase in importance. MR. DONALD CASANOVA keeps a watchful eye on his chemistry students as they work with Bunsen burners. “Safety first” becomes doubly important in lab work. 11 Future Homemakers Solidly Prepare for Roles in Home with Daily Practice and Experience Gained in Class Home furnishings, designs, and deco- rating were taught to students enrolled in the home problems class. Their meat- shopping knowledge was enhanced by a trip through a butcher shop. Husband-picking and homemakers’ roles in other lands were also topics of interest for the girls. First hand experience prepared the girls to be better homemakers of tomor- row as they helped a bride-to-be re- decorate her home for family-living. In sewing the girls learned wardrobe planning and the architecture of clothes. VARIOUS PROJECTS OCCUPY the girls in sewing class as they work to improve their skills. “THAT’S RIGHT,” says Diane Bolinger as she and Helen Kennedy figure out room sizes in order to plan furniture arrangements. PLANNING AND PREPARING nutritious meals on a budget is an important topic to these future homemakers. Creative, Artistic Students Discover Scholastic Outlets for Abilities in Music , Art Two courses on the creative side are music and art. They give those students who enjoy working with their hands or their voices a chance to show their merits. Not only sketching and painting are included in the art classes. Sculpture, with the emphasis on the aesthetic val- ues of design and form, and ceramics, in which students work with clay to pro- duce objects both functional and decor- ative, round out the course. Outstanding projects are displayed in the student show each spring. Under the general classification, “mu- sic,” are mixed chorus, A Cappella, and band. The mixed chorus is open to all while band and A Cappella require try- outs. “NON-OBJECTIVE” IS the word Steve Skvara uses to describe his hard-to-describe work of art. MAUREEN MURPHY, DONNA Mattingly, and Judy Teibel practice a number in mixed chorus while keeping their eyes on Director, Richard Metcalf. KYLE SMITH AND Pat Dagley arc absorbed in getting each note right, counting time, and watching Director, Robert Sohn’s baton. 13 Industrial Education Provides Solid Background for Trades; Daily Practice Develops Marketable Job Skills With a transition year toward more extensive industrial education, advisers in industry were acquired to report on what skills to emphasize. Exploratory junior high courses will now precede drafting required of soph- omores. At this level the boys may also take a one-hour course in their field of interest. As juniors and seniors they can take the new two-hour classes to develop their skills. By building small motors in machine shop, tracking down car ail- ments in auto mechanics, and building work-benches and cabinets in woods, the boys are developing substantial back- grounds for entering industry. CONCENTRATION IS APPARENT on Dave Welch’s face as he strives for precision and accuracy in his work with metals. GEORGE JONES MAKES an adjustment on Mr. Harold Mack’s car while other members of the advanced auto shop class look on. Anyone connected with the school may have his car serviced in the shop. 14 MACHINE SHOP STUDENTS become ab- sorbed in their own individual projects. TYPES OF JOINTS and finishing are taught in wood shop. Here Dick Taylor makes use of one of the many power tools available. TESTING AND CHECKING must be done quickly and accurately. Mr. Alvin Jones watches as Don Hoffman, Ted Ireland, and Rick La- Buda put I ed s car through its paces. Four shop areas are in use this year — woods, machines, automotive, and drafting. The electrical shop is yet to be completed. BLAIR PATTERSON EXPLAINS an entry on the worksheet to the rest of the book- keeping class. Each figure must be in exactly the right place. THINKING ABOUT EACH letter as she types occupies Sandy Anderson while she does her assignment. ABSORBED IN HER work, Sandy Bumpus strives to develop her typing skill. MRS. BETTY HOLMGREN shows Shirley Brister a mistake in her letter for secretar- ial practice. 16 Business Training Prepares Students for Careers and Important Financial Decisions by Affording Practical Experience Bookkeeping, general business, busi- ness math, business machines, clerical procedures, and secretarial practice all develop qualifications for a job. Not on- ly this, but pave the way for busi- ness decisions that will have to be met in later life, such as figuring out in- come tax and balancing checkbooks. If a student is planning a career in this field, these courses give him actual practice by allowing him to figure out losses, profits, and overhead costs of companies by the use of kits, such as the Randall Wholesale Grocery Prac- tice Set. MAKING THOSE TOTALS come out exactly right busies Karen Eley with the adding machine. ■ ,v ffiflrr w A TURNING TO THE right page, the typing class prepares for another day of drill and practice. Day by day they build up to more speed with fewer errors. 17 Students Keep Physically Fit with Games, Sports, Tests Often warming up with knee bends, jumping jacks, and sit-ups, the phys. ed. classes strive for physical fitness through sports and skill games. Tumbling, bas- ketball, kick-ball, volleyball, skill tests, and the not-too-popular laps around the gym help some discover new muscles and others wish they could forget some old ones. Swimming added a new feature to the program — and a new problem for girls with pouffy hairdos. Struggling with straggly locks in a steamy locker room forced some to make last minute dashes to the next class. ACTION BEGINS AS ref Tina Royce oversees a jump ball. Girls were also required to take written tests on rules. COMPETmON AND FRIENDLY rivalry set in as the boys break up into teams for relays. Tim Rochford eyes Ronald Gibson’s pass to Mike Woodward. 18 CLASSROOM CONSULTATIONS SEEM to aid Laura Lieberman and Merrily Grams in their work with the newspaper. Learning Brings All Reactions from Many Individual Minds WAIT A MINUTE! Bewilderment halts Gary Cyganek’s progress and he hopes the teacher will repeat that again — slower. WITH NO TIME for frivolities like chairs, Linda Hensley rushes to get her new ideas down on paper. A school day finds many moods and emotions flitting across students’ faces as they go about their task — learning. Questioning looks over that geometry theorem, deep concentration on an Eng- lish theme, or a friendly discussion of the next day’s shorthand assignment — these are in evidence often, along with that rarer one, the sudden flash of un- derstanding that comes just when giving up looks inviting. Whatever their goals, students find the six hours spent in class pass quickly when they react to, and are changed by, new ideas. Pep Sessions , Assemblies Add Interest to Routine Morning finds bus students congre- gating in the cafeteria until the “beep” tone sounds. Sleepy first period classes hear the announcements read and teach- ers fight the daily battle with thirty pairs of heavy eyelids. Slamming lock- ers, gabfests, and quick trips to the washroom to repair hairdos fill the five- minute breaks. The day passes . . . WHO WOULD DARE cross the picket line formed by Jenny Vajda, Jean Godlewski, and Carol Mercer, taking a tactic from organized labor, they bargain for victory. “GO TEAM GO!” “Yell a little louder!” hoarse boosters. Vocal chords in competition make the gym creak with their enthusiasm. Victories often caused 20 WHY DO THE shorter girls end up with top lockers? That’s one question that bothers Rita Dal Santo. THE FAMILIAR VOICE of Ron Bell greets students each morning as he reads the daily bulletin. COLLEGE LOOMS FOR Vickie Horner, who checks the bulletin board by the guidance office. OFFICE GIRL JUDY Tuskan delivers mes- sages as well as distributing the absentee bul- letin each day during second period. 21 PEACEFUL HALLS AWAIT the next onslaught of students. Voices of teachers drift out open doors and mingle with strains of a record in Spanish. With four long hours of class behind them, teachers and students alike wel- come the tone sound that means — - FOOD! The halls clear as if by magic while hungry teens make their shivery dashes across the open breezeway to the cafeteria. Thirty-five minutes leaves no time for intramurals but is still enough for chatter and antics. After trooping back to class, the students find the two- hour afternoon passes quickly. Then other things — jobs, clubs, sports, dates, and dances — all compete for time slots in their plans. SHORTHAND REQUIRES CONCEN- TRATION to master the forms being writ- ten on the blackboard. 22 Class Recitation , Study and Friendly Chatter Complete Academic Day; Clubs, Sports, Dates Beckon for Free Time WITH A STRANGE feeling that she is not alone, Betsy Beiriger just can’t concentrate on her reading assignment. PECKING AWAY OUTSIDE the attendance office, Chuck DeNeal seems to be subbing for an office girl. SECLUDED IN HIS library study “carrel,” Wade Farris becomes absorbed in a mystery. 23 CHEERLEADERS LED THE booster block as pre-game excitement ran through the expectant crowd. Rain , Set Blazes, but Enthusiasm If a disaster had been turned into an inspiration, there would have been three giant-sized wiener roasts. As it turned out, there were merely three lonely bonfires, attended by naught but the squirrels. To top things off, an un- expected downpour moved the time of the parade from the traditional Thurs- day night to Friday before the game. Instead of having wall-to-wall posters, as in past years, they were confined to the bulletin boards. These things made Homecoming unusual. QUARTERBACK RICH BEACH finds himself at the bottom of the pile after failing to make it through the Crown Point defense. The Panthers later came out on top, though, avenging their 1963 Homecoming loss. COACH TOM KURTH gives Chuck Stuhlmacher those all-important instruc- tions before he enters the game. and Lack of Poster Space Beset 1964 Homecoming , Prevailed at Festivities JUNIOR SANDY JENNINGS took first place in the car division with her “Bee-t Those Bulldogs” theme and a Volkswagon. CARRYING THE FLAGS were members of the Griffith American Legion as the day-late parade made its way to the football field. Queen candidates, waving to crowds as they perched atop convertibles were probably wishing they were bundled up in insulated snowsuits, but they sur- vived to make their appearances at the soc-hop. Boxes of leftover kleenex and nap- kins, chicken wire, staplers — all are put away now. Garages are back to normal, and the Student Council is left won- dering how to prepare for the unex- pected at next year’s Homecoming. Spirit, though, did manage to prevail at the 1964 Homecoming despite the setbacks. SOPHOMORES COPPED FIRST place with their entry, placing in the judging for the second time. No third prize was awarded, since there was one less class in the running. PHN1HER5 £ 7 BULlD DkSi LGJG 25 Radiant Queen PENT-UP EMOTIONS ARE released in that long-awaited moment. Karen Aldrin’s hap- piness at being named queen is shared by escort Cleo Keen and Jean Godlewski. PUTTING A SIGN between the goal posts posed a problem for the cheerleaders . . . AS THE WIND ripped the paper before they could get it up . . . AND FINALLY TORE it to shreds on the ground. 26 THE CHEERLEADERS FIND puns adaptable to Homecoming with their car, “We Panda Win.” QUEEN KAREN WAVES to the crowd and the crowd waves bac k as she is driven around the field once more. It never fails — Homecomings are al- ways cold, and this one was no excep- tion. Red noses and icy toes proved this, but most fans just snuggled up in blankets up to their chins. Although fuzzy mittens made clap- ping during cheers more subdued, sheer voice-power made up the difference. Boisterous boosters, with gold or white mums pinned to their coats, and sport- ing new hairstyles, hardly stopped for breath. Perhaps because of the fact that the Crown Point Bulldogs rode away from the 19 2 Homecoming the victors, the Panthers made doubly sure they won this year — 33 — 13. Many alumni attended the post-game soc-hop where gaiety seemed to be catching. KAREN IS SURROUNDED by her court — Sharon St. Clair, Holly Riggle, Gayle Underwood, and Carol Wade — as happiness and disbelief still show in her expression. 27 DAN GERRITY AS Truman Pendennis finds it a little uncomfortable when Linda Pokos as Carlotta Cortez, the sultry siren with a heart of gold, turns on her charms. Seniors Stage ‘Love Rides the Rails • an Old-fashioned Melodrama Returning for the days of the old- time “melodrammer,” the class of ’64 presented “Love Rides the Rails” or “Will the Mail Train Run Tonight?” Complete with the villain threaten- ing to foreclose the widow’s mortgage and the heroine’s efforts to snare the shy hero, the play concerned Simon Darkway’s evil attempts to gain con- trol of the railroad. Leading roles were taken by Fawn Bifoss, LuVada Coffing, Doug Ed- wards, Dan Gerrity, John Stokes, Larry Mills, and Linda Pokos. “Oleo acts,” including a barbershop quartet and can-can cuties, filled time between acts. PRUDENCE HOPEWELL, PLAYED by LuVada Coffing must overcome her mod- esty to flag down the speeding train with her red skirt.

Mike LaNoue as Jake, and Don Stachura as Pete combine with cowboys Jim Taylor, Richard Arney, and Bob Siurek to sing “Bronco Busters.” Comedy, western atmosphere, and music went into the A Cappella’s pro- duction of “Girl Crazy” in November. Depicting a “girl crazy”- young man was Ron Bell. He was sent west by his father to get away from all the New York girls, but, undaunted, he decided to run a dude ranch. There he finds himself attracted to Molly, played by Marlene Finnie. Affairs were further complicated by the arrival of Gieber, a New York taxi driver who got himself elected sheriff. Class of ’65 Presented Junior Prom ' Stranger in Paradise ’ SITTING THIS ONE out these couples Stnjoy chatting and watching the dancers. Each table was decorated with a palm tree or pineapple centerpiece. on May 9 Climaxing a year of magazine sales and other money-making projects, the juniors pitched in to present their prom, “Stranger in Paradise,” on May 9. They transformed the Sherwood Club ball- room to a tropical South Sea isle, using multicolor paper hibiscus and seven- foot palm trees. Each girl was greeted with a lei as she entered. About 125 couples danced to the mu- sic of Ross Anderson’s band. High- lighting the memorable evening was the crowning of the king and queen, Corky Teegarden and Holly Riggle, by the re- tiring royalty, Dan Gerrity and Kris Krooswyk. THE ROYALTY AND the court smile after the news is announced. Nominees Don Hoff- man and Tom Speichert; queen and king Holly Riggle and Corky Teegarden; and nomi- nees Marlene Finnie, Jack Tubbs, and Gayle Underwood will long remember the moment. DAN GERRITY CROWNS a hap- py Holly Riggle queen of the 1964 prom as the suspense is ended. 30 HOLLY HOLDS HER red roses and Corky holds his cuff links. The queen nominees re- ceived white roses to honor the prom roy- alty. JOINING HANDS TO take part in the grand march, couples find the evening impressed in their memories. 31 110 Couples Dance at Annual GAA Turnabout , “Rhapsody in Blue” January 9; Then Head for Area Restaurants GAA PRESIDENT RUTH Ellen Helfen presents sponsor Miss Patricia Connors with a dozen roses as thanks for her help in organizing the dance. RUTH HELFEN AND her escort, Nick Zuzich, lead the rest of the couples in the grand inarch around the gym, almost unrecognizable that night. 32 i JENNY VAJDA AND Dick Taylor, Patty Day and Dave DeReamer, and Jean Godlewski and Bob Siurek take to the dance floor. PAUSING TO HAVE their picture snapped against the stage decorations are Kathy Grygar and escort Robert Nack. Donning sweatshirts and levis, the members of GAA toiled with crepe pa- per all day January 9 to transform the gym for their annual winter turn-about, “Rhapsody in Blue.” Color scheme for the affair was white with three shades of blue. The stage decorations, tradi- tionally done by the seniors, consisted of a musical staff and a silhouette of dancers. One-hundred and ten couples danced to the music of Dean Randell and his “Golden Orchestra,” before heading for one of the area restaurants. KAREN SHINABARGER EMERGES from the arch that is always very much a part of the grand march. Drama Club Produces Major Play , Mystery-Comedy ACTORS, STAGEHANDS, DIRECTORS, and part-time chauf- feurs cut-up at the antics of Gary Bullard and Pat Dagley, alias Pyramus and Thisby at a rehearsal of “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” “GENTLES, PERCHANCE YOU wonder at this show.” Pat Dagley as Pyramus and Gary Bullard as Lady Thisby hear Prologue Karen Graefe introduce the selection from “Midsum- mer Night’s Dream.” DIANE BOLINGER AND Pat Wallace give Sharon Bogielski the quick-aging treatment to transform her into the senile Nettie. MR. GERALD SPEJEWSKI, director, struggles with sets for “Bull in a China Shop” in between madcap dress rehearsals. GAYLE UNDERWOOD HELPS Mary Lu Wagner apply base makeup as Lida Rygas adds a few finishing touches to her now- ancient face. “Bull in a China Shop ” March 5 6 “GOOD BYE, DEAR Nettie.” Birdie, as played by Mary Lu Wagner, bids a final fare- well to Nettie, as portrayed by Shar on Bogielski. She met her fate in a glass of butter- milk. “YOU’RE SQUEEZING MY hand!” Birdie finds her virtue threatened by Fred Hanak, as Johnson, when he takes her fin- gerprints. “DID YOU SEE the strawberry mark on his shoulder?” Birdie and Nettie urge Gayle Underwood, as reporter Jane Rogers, to look at the handsome detective across the street. After one postponement due to ill- ness in the cast, the Drama Club staged its major play, complete with three murders. Preceding “Bull in a China Shop” was a short excerpt from “Mid- summer Night’s Dream.” The plot concerned six old ladies trying to get a handsome young homi- cide detective to visit their boarding house. They came to the logical con- clusion that they needed a murder, and after that poison made several ap- pearances — in candy, tea, and butter- milk. Major parts were taken by Ron Bell, Gayle Underwood, Laura Bark- er, Mary Lu Wagner, Diane Bolinger, Kathy Burge, and Sharon Bogielski. PRINCIPAL FORREST SHEELY calls off the names of the graduates to come to the stage to receive their diplomas, the pieces of paper they worked for. Seniors March Down Aisle for Last Time to Receive Diplomas and New Titles of Alumni With some fighting back tears at the last moment, the class of ’64 realized they would never again return as stu- dents. They had a new title now. And as proud alumni they would return for visits or social events, but it would not be the same. One chapter of their lives was closing and another was opening. 36 SHEILA BRADLEY gets a diploma and a handshake from Super- intendent, Paul Schilling. THE SENIORS ENTER the gym for the last time as students. A long-awaited moment had come — the last book had been closed, the last final passed, and patient lockers had been slammed for the last time. Graduation had seemed far-off and un- real when they entered as timid fresh- men, and now, suddenly, it was here. Proud parents witnessed the class of ’64 march down the aisle, wondering a little sadly where the pigtails and roller skates had gone. But the future stretched still before the graduates. With jobs, college, and marriage on their minds, they felt ready to assume their places in the world of adults. MIXED EXPRESSIONS APPEAR on their faces as the graduates file out of the gym, diplomas in their hands. 37 Organizations May YEARBOOK STAFFERS, LYNDA Jens and Rita Dal Santo have a moment of indecision as they seek shots for the photog- rapher. Interests discovered in high school sometimes form the basis for lifetime hobbies or even careers and, in not their least important role, provide relaxation and just plain fun. Possibilities run from honoraries to service organizations, pub- lications, music groups, and student government. New settings — the radio room, the auditorium, the publications room — present new chances for students to develop backgrounds for their futures. REHEARSALS FOR THE Drama Club’s productions employed the audi school hours.

The Council then made recommendations to the administration. Among the Council’s regular activities was planning the Homecoming festivities. In No- vember it held a drive to collect used clothing for the Save the Children Federation which dis- tributed the articles to needy children in rural Tennessee. The Council sponsored the annual talent show and sold Panther booster license plates. Important on the agenda this year was the revision of the Student Handbook and of the Council’s constitution. The changeover to a three- year high school made it necessary to change the membership and quorum articles. In the spring the Council conducted the elec- tion of its own and of all class officers.

Members of the National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll wear their official pins proudly, having met the high qualifications for induction in these honorary organizations. Belonging is the worth while goal of many high school careers. To become a member of N.H.S. a student is judged on scholarship, leadership, character, and service by a faculty committee. Traditional can- dle-lighting initiation ceremonies welcome sen- iors, juniors, and sophomore probationary mem- bers each spring. The N.H.S. operates the bookstore, tutors stu- dents falling behind in their studies, and plans the annual Honor Day program. During Christ- mas vacation it invited alumnae who were home from college and present students to a breakfast. A panel of alumnae answered questions concern- ing life in college. Quill and Scroll is an international honor so- ciety for outstanding high school journalists who are in the upper third of the junior or senior classes and are recommended by their adviser.

East Chicago Roosevelt High School hosted a party which was one of the highlights of the F.T.A.’s agenda. All members from neighboring schools were invited. More along the “business” line, Lafayette, Indiana, was the setting for a district meeting at which officers exchanged notes. No one could student teach this year who was not a club participant. These girls gave reports on their progress at meetings, along with differ- ent teachers. Generally, a question-and-answer period followed. Donating a Christmas tree first to the school, and later to a needy family came about as the result of the girls’ Christmas spirit. Trying some- thing new, they decided to put on a carnival in the school gym. Each G.H.S. organization was asked to set up a booth. Probably rated highest in importance by the members were the fifty-dollar scholarships awarded to girls who had been in the club two years or more and were planning on attending college to get a teaching degree.

The Health and Medical Careers Club will continue this practice. Newly formed by a reorganization of the Fu- ture Nurses’ Club, the Health and Medical Ca- reers Club was open to all students interested in entering these fields. Speakers, including a Peace Corps volunteer, told members of their experiences. The club took field trips to hospitals, nursing homes, and laboratories as well as undertaking charity proj- ects. Visits to the Lake County Association for Crippled Children and the Inland Steel research laboratories were on the agenda. Planning a Health and Medical Careers Night, the club invited doctors, nurses, social workers, and pharmacists to come and tell interested stu- dents about the opportunities available in their respective fields. Income from a soc-hop was used to provide a $100 scholarship to the most active and deserv- ing senior member. Kussmaul.

KAREN FOSTER TAKES a trip down the runway at the Y-Teens fashion show, while Jim Pollock admires her outfit. Affiliated with the Y.W.C.A., the Y-teens turned over their dues to that organization for use in its national projects. The purpose of the club is to help the girls grow spiritually as well as socially into young adults. Aiding in this are short inspirational messages and minutes of sil- ent prayer led by the worship chairman at each meeting. With the proceeds of the October fashion show, the girls helped provide Christmas gifts of food, clothing, and toys for needy Indian children in South Dakota. They also went caroling for shut- ins as the holiday approached. With other Y-teens in the area, members at- tended the Y.W.C. A. -sponsored World Fellow- ship Tea, Valentine’s Day Sweetheart Dance, and the annual slumber party. Finishing up the year, they sponsored their an- nual potato chip sale in March in order to send a girl to summer conference camp. The Mother and Daughter Banquet was planned as an honor to their mothers. New this year are the Horticulture and Fenc- ing Clubs. Members of the Horticulture Club cared for century plants, lemon trees, cacti, palm trees, oak trees, and sunflowers in a section of the greenhouse. Some of the individual plants and floral arrangements were displayed in sev- eral sections of the school and were entered in the Lake County Fair. Frequent educational field trips to greenhouses and flower shows enabled members to learn more about their interests. Parry, lunge, and thrust took on special mean- ings to the members of the Fencing Club as they learned an entirely new vocabulary. Practicing twice a week, they learned the fine points of the art and developed skill and co-ordination as well as discovering the importance of fast thinking. Demonstrations were given for the curious stu- dent body. In the future as the boys become more pro- ficient, matches with other schools will be sched- uled.

Ricardo Alej andro Bonilla, the Columbian foster child supported by the Modern Language Club, received money for food, clothing, and “extras” along with numerous friendly letters written in Spanish. The club sent monthly fif- teen-dollar payments to the Foster Parents Plan, Incorporated. In their second year, Language Club members numbered twenty-five, the only requirement be- ing at least one year of French or Spanish. Sponsoring soc-hops, selling ice cream during noon hour, and holding car washes were methods by which the club raised money. Most of this went to Ricardo, but members enjoyed benefits also in the form of outside trips to visit museums or to see foreign movies. There was always a little discrepancy concerning the movies, but French and Spanish students resolved their differences over what films to attend and enjoyed learning about foreign culture. New on the agenda this year was the Christ- mas play, staged in the auditorium. Parts were taken by club members, many of whom were in the Drama Club also. Drama Club Undertook Plays , Planned Field Trips REHEARSALS CAN BE FUN— as Vickie Horner, Bill Cook, Carol Wallace, and Ron Bell seem to prove. The auditorium was the scene of many after school practice sessions. Two major plays were undertaken this year by the Drama Club, whose membership doubled to 70. Members became familiar with lighting, sets, costumes, and numerous other phases of the theater while making use of the new auditorium. They experienced for the first time the thrill of waiting in the wings for their entrances, watching the audience drift in. Co-operation played a big part in productions. Whether a major play, or a one-act to be pre- sented at an assembly, actors helped each other memorize their lines and put on their costumes, while those who did not get parts painted scen- ery, tried their hands at directing, or applied makeup. Not all activities were confined within the walls of G.H.S., however. Field trips were taken to see stage plays in Chicago in order to broaden the students’ outlook on the field of drama and provide material for discussion.

THIRD As part of tradition, the F.S.A. again sponsored the Science Fair and aided in setting up exhibits. Most of the members entered projects themselves. They worked on their experiments, for the most part, at meetings. The computer aided them in working mathematical problems having to do with their research. Field trips increased over previous years, and greater areas were covered. Outside excursions to Commonwealth Edison Electric Company in Hammond, the Museum of Science and Indus- try, and the Argonne Laboratory on the outskirts of Chicago familiarized interested members with some of the phenomena of science. They were shown how electricity is supplied to the entire city of Hammond and watched in awe as trained technologists compressed air and got as by-pro- ducts, liquid oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.

DOES THE ANSWER check? Gail Hunt and Lida Rygas take advantage of the computer built last year to save time in their computations. Sketchbooks, charcoal, pencils, clay, and chalk were included in the essential equipment of the forty-eight members of the Art Club. With its sec- ond year of existance, the club continued to seek enrichment of the aesthetic values in the school and community. Various projects were undertak- en by the members with reaching this goal in mind. Viewing the works of famous artists at the Chi- cago Art Institute helped the members broaden their scope of knowledge. On another field trip they visited a show sponsored by the Lake Coun- ty Art Association. Armed with fried chicken and coolers filled with cokes, they took a sketching excursion to the Indiana Dunes with the arrival of warm spring weather. Several unusual drawings and a lot of fun were the results, along with some rath- er sandy shoes. Collections of the members’ work were set up in display cases at various times. A special show- ing of the members’ projects was also planned.

Meeting deadlines for their sections kept these people busy. FACTS AND FIGURES kept Janice Bernath, faculty editor and assistant business manager; Fred Hanak, business manager; Jack Tubbs, assistant business manager; and Susan Hupke, as- sistant business manager busy. In the background Sharon Trzeciak, art scrutinizes a sales campaign poster. “Who’s the treasurer of the Debating Club?” This copy won’t fill up the space! “Where are the layouts for page 50?” These and other frantic comments reverberated through room N120 as those fast-approaching deadlines sent the RE- FLECTOR staff members scurrying. Not all the work, however was done during the school year. During the summer the editor and copy editor attended the yearbook session of the Indiana High School Journalism Institute at Indiana University. Conferring with other year- book staff members and evaluating other school’s books helped them get new ideas. Members of the business staff visited local stores, and businesses to sell ads. A major portion of the yearbook fund comes from this money. Initial planning for the book included chang- ing to the larger collegiate size, selecting type faces, and deciding on the color of the cover. A theme was chosen to give the book unity and point up the special importance of the 1964-65 school year. Helped in Recording Story of Tear in Words , Pictures Bleary eyes and sleepy expressions — these were often worn by REFLECTOR staffers after stay- ing up until the wee hours of the morning. Draw- ing layouts, cropping pictures, writing copy, and headlines seemed always to be left to the last min- ute. Mailing the completed pages brought sighs of relief and the staff relaxed — until that next dead- line rolled around. They found their work worthwhile in the end, though, when that anticipated moment arrived. Thumbing through the finished yearbook brought satisfaction in seeing those headlines and captions actually in print. Pages that had been examined so many times suddenly took on a new look. See- ing students enjoying the product of laborious hours is another way to express pride in RE- FLECTOR work. RITA DAL SANTO, assistant copy editor, pecks away at her typewriter while copy editor Lynda Jens and reporter Vickie Horner check names for picture identifications. PHOTOGRAPHERS BOB BENNETT and Larry Bunce (STANDING) submit pictures for inspection by John Martz, sports editor, and Tom Speichert, assistant sports editor. 51 Headlines, Paste-ups, and £ Hot Tips ' Were Part of CHECKING RECEIPTS from ad sales are Margaret Barnett, advertising manager; Pattie Hartley, assistant advertising man- ager; and Patty Day, assistant business manager. Business man- ager Janet Stansell phones a prospective advertiser. Dull newstips, faint typewriter ribbons, and re- porters out with the flu — no matter, the deadlines had to be met regularly every other Monday by the PANTHER PRESS staff. Journalism class students served as reporters and also turned in newstips. Page editors, car- toonists, columnists, sportswriters, and photogra- phers cooperated to produce the finished product. Writing headlines to fit the spaces allowed on the paste-up, checking out those “hot tips,” and copy- reading the turned-in stories kept the page editors busy. Money from soliciting ads from local mer- chants, selling subscriptions to the student body, and holding carwashes was used to finance printing and improving the paper wherever pos- sible. For instance, this year for the first time, the PANTHER PRESS was printed on regular newsprint. Special issues were the Christmas, Sectional and Senior editions. CARTOONIST Sharon Trzeciak sketches a drawing to complete editorial cartoon for deadline time.

With its tenth year of existence, the Radio Club was able to realize a longstanding goal — to establish an amateur radio station. Over the years the club sold candy, screened Saturday afternoon movies for small children, and sold ice cream bars at noon to help raise money for equipment. The radio station broadcasts and receives spoken messages as well as those in morse code. Members had to become licensed by the Federal Communications Commission by passing a test on morse code before they could operate the set. They then spent many after school hours in con- tact with other “ham” radio operators. In addition, the club took field trips to learn about opportunities in electronics. A high point was a visit to radio station WLS in Chicago. LARRY BUNCE AND JESS ENGLE pursue their interest in electronics by belonging to the Radio Club. Several of the mem- bers have their own “ham” radio Sets at home. “ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.” Margaret Barnett plugs in an out- side line for one of the phones in the building. Necessary to keep the school running smoothly are the office assistants. These girls volunteer their services at the beginning of each year and help in the guidance, attendance, and main of- fices. Touring the entire building, both junior and senior highs, during first and second periods each day, they collect the attendance reports and then distribute the all day absentee list for that day. In the attendance office they help keep each student’s attendance record up to date. Mimeographing tests, typing letters, and an- swering the intercom calls kept the girls in the main office quite busy. They also operated the switchboard, controlling all the eighteen tele- phones in the building. Experience as an office assistant provided a sample of the type of work to be found in any office and was valuable in helping the girls get jobs.

They directed seating and supervised the sometimes hectic park- ing situation. With the advent of basketball sea- son these volunteers tried to keep the crowd off the playing floor and maintained vigil at the lob- by doors. Brand new this year was the Debating Club, which ordered materials from numerous high school and college debating societies, and libra- ries. Students formed teams, and built up con- vincing arguments to rebuke the opposing side. Controversial questions were agreed upon at the beginning of the year. As a member of a national organization, the club was sent three questions for discussion. Not until January were they notified which one was to be debated on a national scale and the results sent in. All schools in the area had the same topic. Their decisions were tabulated and a final conclusion reached. From these experiences the debaters learned better how to communicate.

These girls volunteered at the beginning of the year to help the librarians with the tasks of keeping track of the thousands of volumes in the library. They also made out overdue book slips, which were delivered to stu- dents in class, and often set up exhibits in the display cases and on the bulletin boards in the library. Projectionists had mastered the intricacies of threading and operating the projectors and put these skills to work. They showed films for the various teachers who found them valuable in sup- plementing their regular class work.

A series of eight monthly programs was spon- sored by the A Cappella in order to raise money to buy an organ for the auditorium. Members sold season as well as individual tickets. October’s program was a recital, which was fol- lowed in November by the production of George Gershwin’s “Girl Crazy.” In December there was a Christmas program and in January a re- cital. February’s presentation was a pop concert while March saw the production of an oratorio. Victor Herbert’s “The Red Mill” was staged in April and a spring concert finished the series in May. It is hoped that the organ fund may be suffi- cient within several years. Members of the A Cappella, who must audi- tion to belong, also sang at the building dedica- tion and various assembly programs throughout the school year. The mixed chorus serves as a training group for A Cappella and no auditions are neces- sary. It performed at the dedication and made several other public appearances. 58 RON SOVERLY IS SHOCKED by Karen Foster and Garry Riggs at a rehearsal for “Girl Crazy.” A Cappella Choir Raised Money for Organ in Auditorium A CAPPELLA — FRONT ROW: Jeanne Ott; Ron Bell, presi- dent; Karen Nelson, vice-president; Marlene Finnie, secretary; Holly Riggle, treasurer; Karen Foster; Ron Soverly; Shirley Brister; Ellen Gillis.

Lettermen Peddled Programs , Attended Dance , Banquet Boys who have earned a major letter auto- matically become members of the Lettermen’s Club. The purpose of this respected organization is to promote good sportsmanship. The club bought black lettermen sweaters for underclassmen and white ones for seniors. Changing tradition this year, the members voted to buy lettermen jackets for all club members, not only just the seniors. Active both in and out of competition, the boys sold programs at games and sponsored a car wash to boost the treasury funds. They also received a portion of the earnings of the athletic department. Sponsoring a dress-up dance, the boys treated their favorite dates to a festive evening. At the end of the year awards to the most outstanding players were presented at the Lettermen ' s Ban- quet. A HAPPY MOMENT for all involved occurs soon after Karen Aldrin was crowned ’64 Homecoming Queen by Cleo Keen and Dan Tom. The Lettermen annually nominate five girls for the honor. 63 Booster Club Backed Teams , Promoted Spirit Promoting school spirit and better sportsman- ship kept the 145 members of the Booster Club busy.

At basketball games they wore re- versible black and gold capes, waved shakers, and used megaphones to send cheers reverberating through the gym. Traveling on the jam-packed bus over bumpy roads, they sometimes literally “bounced ' ’ to away games where they thawed out their frozen fingers by clapping. Pep sessions featured a fashion show of cheer- leading outfits from junior high days and breaking balloons. Finishing the year ' s activities was the Booster Club banquet, at which the newly-elected officers and cheerleaders were announced along with a special award for the most outstanding member of the year.

Round-offs, cartwheels, flips, and splits — prac- ticing these and other less strenuous motions kept the cheerleaders busy two or three evenings after school each week. Despite the pulled mus- cles, their efforts seemed to be well worthwhile at game times. Several of the cheerleaders, the Booster Club president, and the vice-president attended a cheerleading conference at Converse, Indiana at the end of October. Along with 800 others they learned new cheers and motions. Money from a soc-hop was used to buy new outfits. These consisted of black sweaters with the girls’ names on them and black slit skirts over gold Bermuda shorts. Attendance at cheerleading camp this summer is planned by the cheerleader who will return next year.

Blr i AS . rvt Athletes Compete TOM SPEICHERT, A two-year letterman, returned to carry hopes for a conference title in golf this year. Moments spent in the game or com- petition represent only a fraction of the time spent on the sport. Drills, practice, and untiring effort form the back- ground for every athletic contest. No player can perform at his best without them. New facilities — the phys. ed. gym, the swimming pool — offer increased oppor- tunities for excellence. With an eye to past accomplishments and traditions, the athletes find an incentive for future efforts. DURING AND AFTER school hours both junior and senior high students .

Beach and Siurek Led Panthers; Concluded Campaign 5 — 4 Rich Beach and Bob Siurek received Honor- able Mentions to the Calumet Conference All-Star Team, Beach for his fine running at halfback and Siurek for his performances at the guard position. The Panthers concluded the season with a 27 — 6 victory over Highland leaving the Panthers in a tie for second place in the Southern Division of the Calumet Conference with Dyer Central. Rich Beach carried the ball for 508 yards, tal- lied for eight touchdowns, and intercepted two passes. Jan Fane was second, Chuck DeNeal third, and Dick Smith fourth in the total yards carried. Doing all the kicking for Griffith were Bob Siu- rek and Ron Bell. Bob, doing all the place kicking and kick offs, finished the year with 15 extra points to his credit. Ron, doing all the punting, punted 22 times, for an average of approximately 34 yards a punt. ANTICIPATION AND CONCERN is easily pictured on the lace of Dick Ogle, two-year lettermen, as he takes a breather dur- ing the first quarter of play against Dyer.

Coach Tom Kurth Built New Team ; Minus Eighteen Lettermen Head Coach Tom Kurth was confronted with the problem of building a good strong team with just five lettermen returning. Eighteen lettermen had been lost through graduation when the first practice session began. Rich Beach, Chuck DeNeal, and Jan Fane re- turned to build, what was known as, one of the fastest and best backfields in the Calumet Con- ference. Dick Smith quickly found a place in the backfield and proved to be very valuable to the Panthers. Ernie Tall, a transfer from Gavit, and Rich Beach alternated at the quarterback position with Tall displaying a very strong and accurate arm. Dick Ogle and Bob Siurek returned to help form Griffith’s massive line. Seniors and juniors were evenly distributed throughout the line, av- eraging 200 pounds. With both end positions open, Chester Patter- son and Paul Gatlin answered Coach Kurth’s call for talent. “YOU LINEMEN STIFFEN up and you backs hustle, we’re going to show them we came here to play ball,” urges Coach Kurth at half-time session. 69 DICK SMITH EVADES two blockers to hit the ball carrier, putting a stop on the Dyer advance.

Hustle, determination, and aggressiveness pulled this young J.V. squad to finish the season 5 — 3. According to Coach Richard Oppman this team had no high talents or stars on the team, but they worked together as one team. With a lot of starters moving to the varsity po- sitions, Coach Oppman was confronted with the problem of finding new starters. This team lacked experience but possessed the spirit to win. Their first victory was over the strong Bishop Noll Warriors by a score of 20 — 19. Adding to their string of victories w r ere the victories over Chesterton, Crown Point, Lowell and Highland, while bowing only to Merrillville, Horace Mann, and Dyer. The feeling of rivalry and team spirit carried Griffith to a victory over the Highland Trojans. In the last few minutes of play Griffith tallied for a touchdown to down Highland 14 — 13.

High point man was John Collet, with a total of 1330 points. The only two that won’t be returning next year will be Dan Tom and Cleo Keen, thus six of them will be back to carry Griffith’s hopes of a Conference Crown. John Collet led the Panthers harriers to a 12 — 2 season record, losing only to Hobart and Calumet. Andrean, T. F. South, East Gary, Highland, Gary Edison, Crown Point, Portage, Merrillville, Dyer, Lowell, Chesterton, and Morton were all victims of the Panther eight. Griffith and John Collet, together, had a chance to show off their talents at the Andrean, Hobart, and Shortridge Invitationals, Griffith won at Andrean, finished tenth at Hobart, and placed eleventh at Shortridge. John won these meets, breaking all records wherever he ran. Griffith finished fourth in the Sectionals while John continued his undefeated ways with a time of 9:37.8. During the Regionals, John took first with a time of 9:39.2. Finishing his third year of cross country running John finished second in the state meet. But perhaps above all this, John will best be known for running the fastest two miles ever ran by an Indiana high school boy. This was ran at Shortridge in 9:18.8. Griffith finished the year with eight boys run- ning under 1 0 :40. 72 Swimmers Make Debut in First Sectional at Valpo SWIMMING TEAM FRONT ROW: Dave Butler, Chuck Stulmacher, Danny Vaughn, Tim Hess, Ted Holom.

Coach Dan Leslie seemed to be quite pleased with the progress of the team. On Feb- ruary 13, at the Valparaiso University pool, the Griffith swimmers put their progress to a test. At this sectional meet Griffith placed 6th in the 200 yard medley relay, which was very good for Griffith’s first year, according to Coach Leslie. Members of the 200 yard medley relay were : Dan Vaughn — freestyle, David Butler — backstroke, Bob Ogden— breaststroke, and Jim Westerfield— butterfly. Also according to Coach Dan Leslie the boys worked very hard for this sectional meet, and without the equipment a team needs our team made fine progress. Coach Leslie has high hopes for this team in the future. PRACTICE SESSIONS were held after school, and the boys did a lot of swimming to make Griffith’s first swimming team. 73 Cagers Posted 14—6 Season Record with Strong Finish JUMP BALL STARTS the game rolling. This is where all games begin and from this point to the end of the game the Griffith Panthers played with the desire to win. Jumping for Griffith is Bill Cook and the team members waiting for the tip are Rick Beach, Paul Gatlin, Milija Jovanovich, and Chuck DeNeal. Griffith got off to what may be called a slow start, losing to Gavit 60 — 62 and Dyer 55 — 56, but finished the season with a 70 — 69 OT victory over the strong Crown Point five. The Griffith fans saw some close games this year, some vic- tories and others that were hard to lose. Bishop Noll defeated Griffith in an OT 76 — 74, while Griffith defeated Morton 61 — 59 and Hammond Tech 66 — 65. Rich Beach lead Griffith in the scoring bracket finishing the year with 17.8 average, hitting 73.3 per cent from the charity stripe, and scoring 355 points. Beach was followed by Jovanovich with 231 points, then Gatlin, Riggs, DeNeal, and Cook. PAUL GATLIN CRASHES through the Booster Club victory hoop, leading the way to a Panther victory. 74 Coach Harold Mack had five lettermen re- turning, four seniors and one junior. Coach Mack couldn’t take all the credit for bringing a winning season to Griffith after two disheartening ones. “The kids hussled, worked hard, and had a good attitude. I’m real pleased with them,’’ stated Coach Mack. Griffith finished 8 — 3 in Conference play, los- ing only to Calumet, Highland, and Dyer. There was definitely a turning point in the season, according to Coach Mack. “I believe that the turning point of the season came at Christmas. We played well since then and made tremendous progress.” With Paul Gatlin, Chuck DeNeal, Bill Cook, Rich Beach, Gary Riggs, Cleo Keen, Claude Wampler, and Alan Hamnik leaving Griffith High, Coach Mack will have to try and build next year’s team around juniors Milija Jovan- ovich and Bob Smith. COACHES, MANAGERS, and team members make use of the valuable time during a time-out, knowing the Griffith fans are backing them all the way.

Concluded Season 6 — 12; Showed Fine Sportsmanship Winning only six ball games, the boys on the team played just as hard in winning as in losing, according to Coach Bob Wiatrolik. Also accord- ing to Coach Wiatrolik the boys exhibited fine sportsmanship during the entire season. The soph- omore squad challenged their skills against the more experienced and taller teams. Scoring was led by Lennard Zardnt, Scott Wal- lace, and Pete Karnisky. Coach Bob Wiatrolik let everyone have a chance to play and gave ev- eryone a chance to improve themselves. In team statistics the Panthers made 234 bas- kets, 190 out of 326 free throws for a .586 per- centage and a total of 658 points for the season for a 36.5 point average per game.

Neither records or score sheets show the desire and spirit to win. The Griffith Panthers battled their way through what may have seemed like a long season, to finish the year 3 — 1 0. Sophomores and juniors made up more than half of the varsity squad. Seniors Joe Richardson, Lesther Thrall, and Harry Rector will not be returning to help Griffith battle to the confer- ence title. “We always displayed a strong desire to win”, stated Coach Bochnowski. “This was quite evi- dent when we defeated Bishop Noll 26 — 24. Five sophomores, all varsity wrestlers, repre- sented Griffith at the sophomore tourney at Gav- it. These five boys out of normal team of twelve collected 63 points for second place, just two short of Hammond Clark’s 65.

Three seniors, four juniors, nine sophomores, and three fresh- men received major letters. Highlights of this years season were the break- ing of four school records and the victories at the Hobart and Rensselaer Invitationals. New records were set in the 440 with a time of 52.4 seconds, the mile relay in 3 :38, the distant medley in 7 :55, and the 880 relay in 1 :37.6. The four top scorers were John Collet, Chester Patterson, Dick Smith, and Mark Render. Coach Kurth was very pleased with the boys, as he was quoted as saying, “I am very pleased with the fine job the boys did, and we will be one of the strong powers of the conference next year”. Along with a strong young varsity squad, Coach Kurth also has a J.V. squad which finished the year 4 — 0. Their toughest games being with High- land and Gary Andrean. Both these games were won with the same scores of 56 — 52. Coach Kurth felt that with these results and the fact that Grif- fith has a young team, could only lead to better things.

Finally after a cold start the Panthers began to roll, but too late. Finishing third in the Conference with a 6 — 5 record, placed Griffith far, yet so close to the Conference Title. Pitching performances by Bill Fritz and Ken Harder remained strong throughout the season, but hitting was lacking. As a result Chuck De- Neal, Sam Duke, Bob Siurek, and Bob Smith were moved from J.V. to starting positions on the var- sity squad, sparking their team to four more vic- tories. Of the five games the Panthers suffered de- feat, four were lost in the last inning. With these four more victories under their belt, Griffith could have finished first. Bill Fritz and Brad DeReamer received honors at the end of the seasons play. Brad received the most valuable player award, the highest batting average award, and an award for the most runs batted in. Bill received the most improved player award. Junior varsity finished the season with a 1—3 record, beating Calumet and losing to Gavit, Merrillville, and Chesterton.

Hundreds of students have left last- ing impressions on Griffith High School — and, in turn, have been affected by it. In its forty-year history, Griffith has grown in size, tradition, and reputa- tion. New surroundings find the same varied personalities — the studious, the shy, the boisterous — but with an impor- tant difference. Looking backward with pride, yet ahead with anticipation, a solid future beckons; the old founda- tion is not forgotten. A PLACE OF study and quiet, the library is shared by both senior and junior dents. Challenging Goals Founded on Past Accomplishments LIGHTER MOMENTS OFTEN occur in class as Linda Vajda demonstrates. Resumed concentration ends the pause from work. ALL (WELL, ALMOST all) eyes show- ing interest, Janet Stansell, Blair Patterson, George Jones, and Harry Rector view a dis- play in the case. NOT QUITE SURE but willing to make an attempt, Jim Pollock slow- ly raises his hand to answer a ques- tion. Administrators Formulate Long-range Policies and Goals CAUGHT ATTENDING TO some routine paperwork is Mr. Sheely. He holds B.S., M.S., and M.A. degrees and has attended Canterbury College, Indiana University, and the University of Alabama. As the one person responsible for the adminis- tration of Griffith High School, Principal For- rest Sheely finds his tasks varied and sometimes unending. Under his direction are the supervi- sion of the teachers and students, the continuing evaluation of the school program, the adminis- tration of the extra-curricular activities fund, the counseling program, and all other phases of school life. He is also responsible for public re- lations and for preparing reports for the state and for the North Central Association. Typical activities of Mr. Sheely’s days include making a routine check of the facilities, signing checks, going over the correspondence, approving purchase orders, and checking appointments. He was also faced with many teacher’s meetings to prepare data for the North Central Association’s re-evaluation of the school. Mr. Sheely finds the most challenging part of his job is talking with students to discover their academic aspirations and needs and then trying to work out programs to meet these needs. Days filled to the brim with activities are ha- bitual with Assistant Principal Floyd Davis. As co-ordinator of athletics and a counselor, he spends the major portions of his days with duties such as scheduling games and talking to students and teachers. Together with such routine jobs as filing re- ports, answering mail, and other administrative tasks, Mr. Davis has the duty of supervising the new cadet teaching program of the Future Teachers of America. He has also been in charge of scheduling interesting and valuable assembly programs for the student body. The part Mr. Davis likes best about his job is the opportunity to sit down and talk with kids. Difficulties with school work and scheduling came under his supervision. Problems were usual- ly worked out with conferences, sometimes in- cluding the parents. THE TELEPHONE IS an important tool to Mr. Davis. He has attended Huntington College, Ball State, Indiana State, In- diana University, and the University of Illinois and holds his B.A. and M.A. 88 Deal with Day-to-Day Tasks in Direction of School Program PAUSING FOR A MOMENT before conducting the business of the school board meeting are board members Mr. Raymond Under- wood, Mr. Jesse Sheets, and Mr. Ronald Regnier. Mr. Sheets resigned from his position in December. The other members were to ap- point a successor to serve until June. 89 DR. SCHILLING HAS received his B.S. from Huntington Col- lege and his M.S. from Indiana University. He also was awarded his doctorate in education by Indiana University. As Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Paul Schil- ling is responsible for the effective instruction and pupil growth of all in the Griffith school system. Working closely with the school board, he serves as its executive and administrative of- ficer. He oversees the care and management of the buildings, facilities, and other school prop- erty and, jointly with the school board, has the duty of hiring qualified teachers and other school personnel. The Board of School Trustees is charged by state law with the authority of making the schools function and of providing schools for all children in the town. With this goal in mind the school board began long-range planning several years ago for the new high school. The building dedication in October brought this phase of planning to an accomplished fact. Continuing advancement of the educational opportunities for Griffith students is the unceasing responsi- bility of the members of the school board. Helping Students and Teachers Occupies School Personnel SERVING WHEREVER THERE is a shorta ge of office help and an excess of work, Mrs. June Alger divides her time between all the Griffith schools. HELPING IN THE guidance office makes up only part of Mrs. Grace Ash- more’s duties. As school bookkeeper and treasurer she records all money affairs and keeps the financial statements of the clubs up to date. TYPING LETTERS, ANSWERING the phone, and keeping records help fill the days for school secretary Mrs. Evelyn Downing. Always on hand to help stu- dents and teachers who come to the office with questions, she is a familiar figure to all. TWO PERIODS EACH day Miss Kyra McKay teaches typing, while the rest of the time she counsels sophomores.

CHARLES O’ROURKE’S job as Director of Pupil Personnel requires that he keep attendance records, supervise the employment of minors, issue absence and tardy passes, counsel, and adminis- ter first aid. He has attended Witson Junior College, Northern Illinois Uni- versity, Roosevelt University, and In- diana University and has his B.S. and M.S. degrees. DIRECTOR OF GUIDANCE Mr. Sid- ney Vaughan works to organize the guidance department and co-ordinate it with the total school program. Inter- preting test scores, helping with college applications, and planning schedules are some of his tasks. He has his B.S. and M.S. degrees and has attended Vander- Cook College and Northern Illinois Uni- versity. 90 MR. DAN LESLIE makes sure wood shop equipment is in good order. TAKING TIME OUT for a short conference. Mr. Robert Sohn and Mrs. Florence Ogle discuss a matter of mutual concern. Throughout the Day Teachers Perform Different Jobs Whether prying answers from a sleepy first period class, grading test papers, or demonstrat- ing science lab procedures, the teacher’s day is usually never dull. The unintentionally funny answer, a face suddenly lit with understanding, and spirited arguments make for an unexpected- ly rewarding job. Just when teaching seems fruit- less, a shy, but interested, student will volunteer in class or a poor student will straighten out. MR. RICHARD BECK checks over the day’s history tests. DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF the Middle Ages are discussed by Mr. Kenneth Manifold. 91 Teachers Devoted Time and Effort Preparing for the North MR. PHILIP C.

A smoothly-running school is their goal. PICKING UP AFTER 600 teenagers keeps Miss Lovina Spenc- er, Mrs. Jewel Hamby, Mrs. Ellen O’Connor, and Mrs. Mary Christy busy. Cleaning up when the school is empty, they are less obvious than the results ol their work. TAKING TIME OUT from their duties in the kitchen are Mrs. Barbara Brill, Mrs. Lois McConnell, Mrs. Jane Pigg, Mrs. Alegra Hart, Mrs. Dorothy Emery, and Mrs. Marlene Weathers. Satisfying a hungry horde of kids five days a week keeps them busy planning and preparing. 95 College Boards, Applications, Interviews, and Last Minute As “leaders of the pack”, the seniors were at last able to assume their starring roles. Clad in the much-disputed senior cords, bearing all sorts of weird and zany sayings, they roamed the halls for their last year. Improvement of school soc-hops was under- taken by a new group, the “senior council”. At one “senior-sponsored” dance, the girls tried to teach the boys which foot was which ! White lettermen sweaters, the senior play, the class gift to the school, class float, getting in free to the prom, knee sox, nylons with diamond pat- terns, scholarship tests, gold robes and black caps for graduation, . . . these were all included in the rising action of the overall drama, a drama of vibrant, young teens, not yet full adults, yet too old to be children, ready to meet life on its own terms. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS, Roberta Dolson, vice-president, Judy Tuskan, secretary, Claude Wampler, treasurer, and Don Hoffman, president, supervise the selection of the senior class gift, flower, colors, and motto.

MOST ATHLETIC SUE Belavic prepares to test her skill with Athletic Chuck DeNeal’s ability to stand still. Best Groomed Dick Ogle stands ready to give a last minute touch-up with the comb while Best Groomed Karen Aldrin places the target in an attractive position. MOST POPULAR DENNIS Kackos and Sharon Bogielski circle all those important dates while Friendliest Bob Ogle and Judi Tuskan tie up the phone lines with some neighborly conversations. BIGGEST FLIRT DAVE Higgins finds himself swept off his feet by Most Humorous Karen Foster (and friend). Meanwhile, Flirt Mary Lu Wagner goes to work on Humorous Ron Soverly. 110 NATIONAL MERIT SEMIFINALISTS Bill Wal- temath and Lynda Jens hunt up some tips for tests while Lida Rygas, recipient of a Letter of Commendation, looks on. Bill and Lida were also semifinalists for Nation- al Honor Society scholar- ships. Students Win Scholarship Honors, Study Government SHINY TROPHIES ARE one result of Lida Rygas’ good citizen- ship the DAR award is another. Both students and teachers took part in selecting the winner. THROUGH MOCK STATE governments. Boys’ and Girls’ Stat- ers Don Hoffman, Gayle Underwood, and Dan Tom learned how democracy functions. Their week at Indiana University served as a college preview also. Ill Seniors Assumed Positions of Leadership , Privilege FUN TO MAKE, fun to wear — George Jones, John Martz, and Dave Lucas sport their senior cords to back the team. This year boys outnumbered girls in wearing cords. SEEMING TO ENJOY herself, Kathy Marlowe gives an im- promptu speech in English. Having to pick topics from a box helped students develop poise in speaking to a group. MAKING THEIR VIEWPOINT clear, seniors Sharon Bogielski, Roberta Dolson, Karen Aldrin, and Linda Vajda secure their message in a strategic spot. 112 As They Prepared for Future Roles in Colleg e, Jobs DECISIONS, DECISIONS. John Martz, Holly Riggle, Mary Lu Wagner, and Sharon Trzeciak try to select the style of personal cards they will order. Cap and gown fittings came later as the anticipated event crept closer and closer. AFTER FOUR YEARS OF WALKING THE HALLS, Dick Ogle still finds it necessary to speed up his pace on occasion to avoid being late. The absence of clocks in the halls bothered some at first. DOING A SCENE from “Midsummer Night ' s Dream,” Claude Wampler and Dick Ogle converse over a Wall (as played by Gayle Underwood) underneath the Man in the Moon (as portrayed by Mary Lu Wagner.) 113 Juniors Proved to Be Worthy of New Title , Upperclassmen JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS, Jean Godlewski, secretary; Jenny Vajda, treasurer; Wayne Vitkus, vice-president; and Fred Hanak, president lead the class of ’66 through a difficult year of plan- ning and preparation for the junior-senior prom. Ah, the Juniors! — This being their first year of glory as upperclassmen, they were all set for the prestige that the honor carries. But they were vaguely unaware of the duties that go with it . . . August magazine sales started out rather poorly, and they had laughingly considered having a square dance on Raymond Street instead of the usual junior-senior prom. However, everything worked out, and the prom took place at the Sher- wood Club. ’Twas comical indeed to watch the class of ’66 scurrying around on the field after football games, picking up papers. But since they were in charge of selling refreshments, and received the profits, nobody could complain, (openly!) . . . For some junior girls, the concession stand will always bring back fond (?) memories — At one of the games, the roof caved in ! As for their Homecoming float, it won second place honors, and Carol Artka’s garage may nev- er be the same! Co-sponsoring the Homecoming dance along with the Lettermen’s Club added to their cash funds.

THE SCRATCHING OF PENCILS, and an occasional cough are all that interrupt the silence as juniors concentrate on the PSAT test. LINDA NEIGHBORS DOLES out coffee to a freezing crowd as members of the junior class operated the concession stands dur- ing the chilly fall nights to raise money for the prom. 119 The Sophomores Underwent a Second Tear As Underdogs SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS, Nancy Jurik, secretary; Dave DeReamer, vice-president; Linden Eley, president; and Mike Trueblood, treasurer were elected by their classmates to provide the leadership and organization necessary for any class activity. Since there were no freshmen in the new senior high building, the sophomores were once again low men on the student totem pole. But they bore their burden well, singing valiantly, “On the line, always revin’, we’re the class of ’67 !” The burden of a first place in the homecoming Moat division was also born commendably — not a tear was shed ! J. V. Football turned out more victories than losses, and the class of ’67 deserved the credit, there being only three juniors on the team. In the areas of scholarship and extra activities, the “sophs” blazed their own trails. Honor Roll lists and club rosters bore many of their names, while soc-hops showed the evidence of their pres- ence. Front row seats in the auditorium during as- semblies was a rather dubious honor bestowed on the sophomore class. In all fairness, it must be said — they lost no more combination locks, popped no more lunch bags at noon, received no more detentions than anybody else!

The help and advice of our American Yearbook Company rep- resentative, Mr. Robert Hastings, made the selec- tion of type faces and color easier for the staff. Pu blishing of the book was by American Year- book Company, Hannibal, Missouri. The book is printed on one hundred pound enamel paper, proc- essed to a smooth, glossy finish. Baskerville and Baskerville italic type was used to provide variation in appearance throughout the book. Different point sizes were used in various sections for the same purpose. All headlines in the book are 24 point Baskerv ille italic. The body copy in the opening section is 10 point Baskerville with four point leading. The body copy in the remainder of the book is 12 point Baskerville with two point leading. All captions and “idents” are set in 8 point Baskerville without leading. Photographs used in the book were taken both professionally and by student photographers. Wal- inger Studio of Chicago, Illinois, took all Senior Class portraits as well as many group and candid pictures. The aerial view of the school which ap- pears on page 1 was possible through permission of Mr. Derjan. Many candid pictures which appear in the body of the book were possible through the efforts of two student photographers, Bob Bennett and Larry Bunce and a prom picture which ap- pears on page 31 appeared through the courtesy of Hi-Fi Photocolor Studio of Hammond, Indiana. The Design of the 1965 REFLECTOR cover was conceived through the efforts of Mr. Ralph VanDyke and yearbook staff members. The candle- light cover with its coral application was processed by the S. K. Smith Company, Chicago, Illinois. 1965 REFLECTOR STAFF Editor-in- Chief Lida Rygas Copy Editor Lynda Jens Assistant Copy Editor . . ....

People, activities, academics, sports — the conversations were varied as each student discovered his own interests and aspirations for the future. For sale (cheap) — two broken pica rule rs, ten printer’s proportion rules, one jumbo box of No- Doz with two tablets left, and one carbon smudged sweater with matching skirt. To this list might be added a chronic shortage of copy paper and time, broken typewriter ribbons, and long-suffering mothers. Yet these are offset by the satisfaction of seeing much revised copy, belabored layouts, and hastily cropped pictures shape into the story of the school year — a year that was many things to many people. I would like to extend a sincere thanks to the 1965 Reflector staff and Mr. Johns invaluable aid in putting out a book that I hope you will enjoy leafing through again and again.
