REFLECTOR 1967 Vol. 26 Published by the Journalism Department of Griffith Senior High School Griffith, Indiana Organizations 98 ... 121 Advertising 122 ... 144 Tony Male rich Johnny Wasko and Janet Wasko This individual we call a student. Who is he? What is he? What does he do? He is madras and cutoffs washing the family car on a Saturday morning. Then, slicked hair, Jade East and flowers for someone special that evening. One minute he is a carefree child playing with the family pet and the next he is debating with Dad over the total disarmament in Viet Nam. Although still childlike in many ways he goes to Church Sunday morning as a young adult recognizing faith as a necessity of life. After a rugged game of football he hits the books for that tough social study test Monday. A child, adolescent, adult . . the figure we call a student, learning life isn’t all pleasures, facing his own problems alone, for he must become a man in a world of decisions and alt this background and personality starts at home . . . 2 Beth Patterson Lynn Weber ... A wakening to the sound of a clanging alarm clock and the clatter of dishes in the kitchen, the student though reluctant, faces reality — this is Monday morning. Jim Bradly Linda Skorupa 3 7:45 a.m. Zzzz — a broken Zipper. Snag — a run hose. Has anyone seen my Chemistry book? Where is my hair- spray? A rent you through shaving? Hurry. I have to brush my teeth! Quarter ' til eight and the homes of GHS face their daily tragedy. Re- freshing breezes helped students “ come alive” while walking to school. Kids riding the school bus stand face to face, back to back and sit on each others’ laps as they await the start of a new day. Those fortunate enough to have “ wheels ” drove to school and gathered in the parking lot to talk about a new brake job or engine trouble. 7:55 a.m. Last minute preparations are conducted before that first daily lecture. Steadies take their places by hallway doors, boys gathered in a new spot to discuss cars and new girls this year while the girls pack the rest- rooms to put on the last touch of make- up and remind each other of the notes they must write. 8:01 a.m. Total pandemonium for those people late to class. The tardy line is lengthened while students begin searching for a “ good excuse. Fred Slawitcke Al Butler. Charlene Orban and Ron Gibson Lectures, discussions, quizzes — the algebra test was the toughest so far. but in biology you disected a worm. At GHS the stimulating atmosphere and helpful teachers makes school fun for over 660 students. Between classes is usually fun, someone tells you a new joke or what Mrs. Lucas did in English while you tackle the art of opening your locker. Naturally, there are serious moments too, for fun is for kids and serious re- sponsibilities are entangling us. Bev Morton, Pat McTaggarl and Jim Sponaugle Lauren Black 8 By 12:15 p.m. you’re famished and eager for a hoi lunch, but wait there is a class meeting at 12:30 so better hit the short line. In 15 minutes you can ' t eat much so munch a bag of chips and gulp a carton of milk. Now, hurry, they’re going to discuss the location of Prom and the melodrama at the meeting. At the end of two more classes you fight your way through that jungle of notebooks, apple cores, extra shoes and a maze of books in the small compace locke r and collect assignments to do as homework. But that’s not for three more hours, right now you have a swimming meet to attend, FTA meeting, make posters for the game Friday and talk to Miss Connors about the gym- nastics meet in the spring. Rick Butter GHS is not just a building dedicated totally to academics. Clubs, organiza- tions and sports hold a place in the academic program for the student. Most students participated in the development and production of one club or organization this year. It was never hard to find a club to suit your taste either, for GHS organizations range from acting with the Drama Club to bone hunting with the archeology fans. Girls enjoyed the exercise of GAA while the boys stayed physically fit practicing weight lifting. Clanking of football helmets on the field, squeeking of tennis shoes across the gym floor in basketball and the groaning in wrestling expresses extra activities at the end of a studious day. Pete Karnisky 10 Late Friday night games and dates make an extra 40 winks welcome on Saturday morning, but one cannot sleep too long for a Saturday job is a necessity for that important pocket money. While many boys and girls have part-time jobs others spend Saturdays’ shopping in down- town Hammond or taking a trip to the Loop in Chicago. Now that his day to work is complete he prepares for the night ahead with extra care by washing the car, showering, shaving and loading down with the fragrance she adores. The female part- ners ' scene is rather different. While under the dryer she not only polishes her nails but, three apples, two cold and greasy pieces of pizza and enjoys the helpful tips of Seventeen Magazine! This starts in mid-afternoon and con- tinues until her date arrives and some- times after her date arrives! All these painstaking preparations pay off in a wonderful evening. Jim Davis ■ -7. - � � • Sunday morning comes with the student neatly dressed and ready to leave for church with his family. No matter what church he attends, services offer the student a time to worship and give thanks. Much of Sunday is spent relax- ing, watching T. V. or perhaps catching up on the latest news (by telephone — oj course). Late Sunday night, the student remem- bers his homework — but what about “Bonanza or that good show on “Sun- day Night at the Movies ? This is easily solved as he makes himself com- fortable in front of the T. V. with his books and pencils and naturally some- thing to munch on. Nancy Granack and Kerry Pickett 14 The individual we call a student has many problems and dealings with life, but in order to be able to stand up to those situations and face them with a clear mind and sincere heart he must have background. This background— for all moods — starts with the devel- opment of his surrounding family, friends and teachers. What he is taught, at anytime in life, he wilt be able to reflect back on in some moment of need. Thanks to his parents, church and school he will always be able to face facts and moods and perhaps end up finding his place in life. High schoolers attended Summer Institutes. Representatives of Griffith High School attended several institutes during the past year. Students selected by the faculty on the basis of leadership, citizenship and scholastic ability were delegates to Boys’ and Girls’ State in Indianapolis. This assembly, sponsored by the American Legion, acquaints young people with the functions of their state governments. Delegates to Boys’ State were Pete Karnisky and David Vaughan and alternates Dave DeReamer and Bob Wilson. Girls’ State representatives were Mary Littrell and Marcia Fountain and Lana Hendrikson and Deanna Nelson, alternates. GHS was proud to have three National Merit Scholarship semi-finalists this year. Fred Stawicke, James Zeller, and Dave Vaughan received qualifying scores on the National Merit test given in February of last year. REFLECTOR Editor-in-chief, Marcia Fountain attended the Michigan State University for two weeks gaining valuable information about the new trends in yearbook make-up and design. Delegates to Boys ’ State and Girls ' State were respectively, Pete Karnisky , Marcia Fountain, Mary Littrell and David Vaughan. Marcia Fountain, Editor-in-chief of the 1967 REFLECTOR put to work new ideas and trends learned at the Michigan State Journalism Convention. 17 Spirits ignited by bonfire Homecoming activities began on Thurs- day, October 6, with the annual Home- coming parade. Each class and many clubs entered a float or decorated car. The Senior’s captured first place with their float “No Braggin’ We’re Not Draggin’ ”, and the Booster club took first place with their car “Make ’Em Beg.” The parade ended at the football field where the bonfire was ignited. The flames rose with the student’s spirits and they joined in the snake dance, pep rally and alumni dance. Laughing and breathless Griffith High students joined hands in a snake dance around the bonfire. Capturing second place in the float division was the Junior class with their entry entitled “ Blast Those Bulldogs “No Braggin’ We ' re Not Draggin ’ ” cornered first place for the class of 1967. 19 Tears of joy and disbelief overtook Wendy Miller Mrs. Miller joined Wendy in her ecstasy over the Smiling radiantly Queen Wendy began her reign as she is announced the 1966 Homecoming Queen. honor few girls experience. with the traditional ride around the football field. 20 Coronation highlighted half; Panthers tied Bulldogs Posing with 1966 Homecoming Queen Wendy Miller are her court: Jane Welch, Martha VanStrien, Linda Skurpa and Lana Hendrickson. Tom McKay demonstrated his team spirit and enthusiasm by orally backing the Panthers against the Bulldogs. October 7 — excitement prevailed through- out the day! A determined team tied the Crown Point Bulldogs, 19 — 19. Home- coming festivities included the perform- ance of the Iowa State Band, the Panther- ettes, Griffith’s High School Band and the coronation of the Homecoming Queen. This year was unique in that Griffith had a visiting band perform during halftime ceremonies. The Iowa Band also helped cheer the Panthers on. Then, as the high- light of every Homecoming, Pete Karnisky crowned Wendy Miller as Queen. Her court included Jane Welch, Lana Hendrickson, Linda Skrupa and Matha Van Strien. “Junior Follies” written by the class of 1967 and consisting solely of juniors presented a musical satire of teens. Various scenes portrayed teens from the stoneagc through modern times. The stoneage scene presented a group of teens dressed in animal skins and a F-80 footmobile with Bob Wilson as the he-man, ‘Rocke’. The Roman scene por- trayed Dennis Dell as Nero, and his father by Terry Kurowsky, discussing the family chariot. The ‘Roaring 20’s’ was complete with Pop Sweeny’s Malt Shop and juniors doing the dance of the time, the Charleston. The modern day scene included go-go- girls, Smother Brothers routine by Jack Hein and Mike Trueblood, folk singer Chris Martz and the Junior Five, a pop singing group. l.udvng Van Betthoven the second, Jim Hart, displayed his musical talent in the Jollies. 22 Pop Sweeny ' s Walt Shop was the s win finest place around in 29 ' as Lana Hendrickson, Tony Malerich, Tom Schatzman, Scott Voges and Ted Kane portrayed in the ‘ Roaring 20 ' s Mad-cap teen review presented by class of 1967 Animal skins were donned by Nancy Humpher ' Dave De Reamer and Jane Welch. “Doctor Sues ' Fins : Linda Duncan, Linda Cook .

Gilbereth, Jr. and Ernestine Gilgereth Cary was uniquely produced by the senior class. Doublecasting of the play presented March 4 and 5 involved 24 members of the senior class. The play was based on an efficiency expert, his wife and 12 children, in the 1920’s whose ambition it was to save as much time as possible. Variety combined with talent added humor making the play a success. 24 Double casting provided variety in senior production of “Cheaper by the Dozen ” After advising Larry Thrall, Father, on his health Pat Dagely, Doctor, prepared to leave.

Attired in gold robes, white rose for the class flower and powder blue and silver for class colors, the graduates left the auditorium with their class motto in mind, “The Future Belongs To Those Who Prepare For It”. Gail Hunt, valedictorian, gave an inspir- ing address and Larry Bunce, salutator- ian, reviewed the class achievements. Mike Goffredo, class president, pre- sented the main speaker, Mr. Laurel Pennock of Rochester, Minnesota. Mr. Forest S. Sheely presented the class and Mr. William Cheever, Superintendent, distributed diplomas. Seniors listened intently during graduation ceremonies while reflecting over Jour years of high school. Like most couples Wayne Johnson and Susan Buck were enchanted by the 1966 Prom. Kerry Pickett and Xancy Granack found the Prom V atmosphere romantic. Lynn Latawic and her escort along with many other couples danced the night away. ‘67’ created bewitching Prom Jim Sponaugle and date engaged in a few moments of conversation while enjoying refreshments. Over 150 couples were in attendance. A dancing couple silhouetted against a full moon created an enchanting atmos- phere for the 1 966 Prom, “Moonlight and Roses”. Adding to the atmosphere were rose settings, floral wreaths ex- tended from the ceiling, and music pro- vided by the Ross Anderson Combo. Highlighting the evening was the coro- nation of the new King and Queen, Pete Karnisky and Sandy Anderson by their predecessors Dave Welch and Pat Hartley. Griffith’s first Post Prom was held at the Great Oaks Country Club where entertainment was furnished by Jan Gabrial and the Kritters. Although the “Prom-goers” didn’t re- turn home until wee hours Saturday morning, the beaches were still crowded with Griffith students completing their week-ends with traditional beach parties. Smiling radiantly Prom Queen Sandy Anderson reigned over the I960 Prom. “ Moonlight and Roses”. Newly-crowned Prom King Pete Kamisky relaxed in a few moments of laughter. Cheryl Wampler and Eddie Shtnabarger paused in front of the silhouetted couple to make a few minor but necessary adjustments. Decorating the gym was an important part of the GAA dance which involved all of its ' members and lasted from 7-5. Ready for a {unfilled but enchanting evening Ray Green and date arrived at the GAA dance. Coming through the bridge of arms , fill Tubbs and date were one of two-hundred couples who participated in the grand march. Dennis Famey, Carol Erickson , Ronnie Erickson and firn Hart engaged in a fev) minutes of enjoyable conversation betvjeen dances. “Snow White Evening ” enchanted over 200 couples Highlighting the annual GAA turnabout was the grand march which was conducted to the music of the “Silvertones”. Complimenting the traditional streamers of light and dark pink that covered the entire gym were snowmen and reindeer peaking from behind the tall pine trees. The decorations set the mood for “Snow White Evening.” Couples attending the annual turnabout event danced in the night under a sky of glittering snowflakes to the music of the “Silvertones”. As each couple departed they took with them the memories of that night which they will long remember. The GAA turnabout captured many lasting moments for faculty members in attendance as Mr. and Mrs. Dick Koval, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Lucas and Mr. and Mrs. James Pictor. 31 ACADEMICS GHS students spend seven hours a day, five days a week and nine months a year in a brick building labeled Griffith Senior High School. What is it that could be so time consuming as to envelop them from 7:55 to 2:55? The answer is often expressed by two words — an educa- tion. However, what is this thing called education whose importance is so well publicized? Is it merely reading from textbooks, listening to lectures and taking tests? Fortunately not. It also includes the fun experienced in making friends, joining clubs and participating in sports. Yes, it is this GHS education which makes each student an individual. English classes read novels, presented plays; drama students studied theater; By reading Julius Caesar and writing short stories and character sketches, sophomore English classes gained a background in literature, composition and grammar. The Grapes of Wrath was one of several novels corresponding with the juniors ’ study of contemporary literature. Theme subjects were linked with reading and grammar was directed to the problems which arose in them. A private presentation of Macbeth was a high point for senior English classes. An awareness and appreciation of English literature was instilled in the students as well as interest in drama. Original one-act plays were required of all drama students. Special attention was given to the study of the theater, techniques of production and essentials of acting. Reports, novels and themes kept junior English classes busy as they made the utmost of their daily 20-minute study periods. Salty Nevjhard read intently in her literature book along with the rest of her English class. Mrs. Lynn Lucas, B.S. Indiana State University; English; Sophomore class Sponsor. Verbs, nouns and adjectives seemed to come alive in Senior English class for Dennis Dell and Margaret Curry. Mrs. Margaret E. Clark, B.A., Purdue; English; FT A co-sponsor. 35 Beginning journalists visited printer; sold ads Through experience, good news, features and editorial writings were learned in Beginning Journalism classes. A newspaper plant was visited to observe printing techniques. Students became valuable assets to PANTHER PRESS and REFLEC TOR SI AFFS by selling advertising. Fear and anxiety were overcome as speech students learned to formulate ideas logically and present them orally to the class. Students started with three-minute speeches and gradually led up to a ten-minute speech. Doing research on an English assignment. Pal Wallace found the library a mlal necessity as did several other student throughout the year. Mr. Charles Harkin. B.S. Ball State; English, National Honor Society. 36 Journalism students found a Jew extra minutes valuable in looking over other yearbooks and catching up on homework. Speech taught oral expression through practice Math courses ranged from general math to trig 38 Daniel McNeil, B.S. Indiana State: Algebra, I and II Trigonometry. Chuck Markley concentrated on board work. Quadratic equations attracted complete attention of Algebra students. All students’ needs can be met in the math- ematic department at GHS. Special courses are provided for those who need math for everyday use, for general educa- tion and for college preparation. Alge- bra I and II permitted students to gain a knowledge of real and imaginary numbers. Methods of proof, graphing and loci were some of the things geometry students studied. Students interested in technical, scientific or mathematical pursuits gained experi- ence and knowledge in trigonometry. Analytical geometry, the final course in the regular four-year sequence, offered students a foundation in applied math. Temac math allowed students to go be- yond the regular courses at their own speed, while terminal math students reviewed basic arithmetic used in everyday life. Joyce Vestal is one of many students who found math interesting at GHS. Project Science student. Perry Gardai Jed mice daily in order for them to maintain their healthiness. Donna Schultz and Rick Garrard found frustration and disbelief as they probed into the wonders of science. Science offered experiments and research Mrs. Geraldine R. Sh er ey, R.S., Indiana State College; M.S., Indiana Stale University, General Biology, Advanced Biology. Terrible odors creeping through the halls revealed Chemistry ex- periments which provided the basis for discussion and understanding of the theories of Chemistry. Advanced Biology stressed cellular respiration, scientific techniques and methods of inquiry. Physics students dealt with power, energy, heat, light, sound magnetism, and electricity. Prin- ciples of physics as used in the home, in home equipment, and auto- mobiles was studied. Much time was devoted to lab experiments. Project Science students select individual science projects or reasearch activities to complete under the supervision of the science department. Griffith’s science department used many facilities to aid the Bio- logy student in understanding plant and animal structure, life processes and relationships be- tween man and his enviroment. 40 Chemistry student Mike Shuttrow replaced test tubes ajler finishing lab experiments during one of the more stimulating parts of the course.

Mr. Bud Ballou explained the economic status of the United States to his students. From Egyptian tombs to the 20th cen- tury surburia was the span of time explored in World History. Special emphasis was placed on the devel- opment of western civilization. U.S. History followed the devel- opment of the nation, its peoples and institutions from its beginning in England to present time. Juniors gained an appreciation and under- standing of the American ways. American Government and Economics is combined to give seniors then last year of social studies. Gov- ernment emphasised the structure and organization of local, state and federal governments. Economics revealed the history of the United States’ economy and an- alyzed methods and techniques of production, consumption and distri- bution of goods. Panel discussions and debates enable students to re- ceive a better understanding of gov- ernment and economics. Students interested in current events benefited from the study of American foreign policies in Con- temporary American Affairs. The whys of human beings ’ reactions were studied in Psychology. Sociology students discussed individuals in their relation to others. 43 Wood shop proved to be a popular class for Industrial Art students whose projects ranged from book ends to coffee tables. Drafting, the first division of Industrial Arts was a course of challenge and planning for Dave Kime. Servicing faculty cars XI r. Daniel Leslie , XI.

Drafting is the basis of all shop courses. Students were taught to develop originality and imagination and to visualize and project thinking. Machine Shops acquainted students with the function, use and oper- ation of such machines as metal lathes, shapers and grinders. Students in power and Auto Mechanics gained the opportunity to apply skills and understandings of previous courses by performing minor and major service jobs on student and faculty cars. Overhauling a motor intrigued IVayne Miller and Jim O ' Toole in Power Mechanics. 45 Mr. Richard Schner, B.S. Indian Central, M.S.

R.S., Indiana l diversity; Physical Education, First Aid; Booster Club. Coach Wayne Nichols instructed his swimming class on water safety rules. 46 To many CHS students Physical Ed- ucation class was the welcome part of the day when stored energy could be released. National Physical Fitness Tests were given at the beginning and end of the year to measure students’ physical abil- ity and their improvement over the year. This year cadet teacher Wanda Janousky vjos the first CHS girl ever eligible for the Physical Fitness Presi- dential Award. Wanda received scores above the 95th percentile on all of the seven nation-wide tests given. Team sports such as basketball, baseball, and volleyball encouraged good sports- manship and promoted development of a sound mind and body. The trampoline, the parallel bars and the horse provided extra equipment for individual sports. Occupying the swimming pool for six weeks was part of each class’ year-long schedule. Swimming strokes and kicks and diving techniques were presented to the students.

Ricks. B.S., Rail State; Art; Art Club. The fine Arts Department allowed students to display their talent and gain recognition. Art classes worked with textures, shading, design, pastels and water colors. Advanced students practiced abstract rather than realistic techniques. Drawing II class did a display for National Education Week that appeared in Smith’s Paint Store. Teaching students how to cooperate and sing in a choral group was the main goal of the vocal music program. Vocal Music students performed at public concerts’ social func- tions and participated in the annual solo and ensemble contest at Lew Wallace High School. 48 Verbs mingled with customs to initiate knowledge Verb tenses intermingled with unusual customs initiated interest and knowledge among foreign language students. Filmstrips and movies enabled French students to aquaint themselves with the daily life and work habits of an average Frenchman. In keeping with the jovial mood usually exhibited at Christmas, French students translated favorite Christmas carols and then practiced singing them. Spanish students also celebrated Christmas in a special way. Working for the assorted prizes contained in the traditional pinata, students found themselves in competition with each class trying to out -do the other. Arranging attractive bulletin boards in correlation with their studies was another project tackled by Spanish students. Barb Konopasek lent Devonna Mackey a helping hand in preparation for a lab session. Barb and Devonna were among 200 students who took advantage of lab facilities. Mrs. Dorothy Blum, B.S., M.A., Indiana University; French, English. Students worked exhaustingly to prepare for asdfjkl; asdfjkl Oops! This seemed to be a familiar problem of many Typing I students. Advanced Typing built production skills and stressed speed and accuracy. Shorthand students learned the theory of word making and dictation. Typing and shorthand skills were combined in a Secretarial Practice course for those planning to work in offices after graduation. General Business was an introduct- ory course in business education in which students learned everyday business activities. Journals, ledgers and special re- ports were parts of the bookkeeping cycle taught to Bookkeeping students. Each student kept an actual set of books for a period of one month. Clerical procedures acquainted stu- dents with general office procedures while they observed a normal business day at an area office. Beginning typist Craig Bogielski learned that keeping eyes on copy progressed speed. 50 careers in different fields of business After some short time writings, Mary Ann Hohner found a few seconds to relax in her Typing I class. Miss Kathleen Braun, B.A., M S.. Evansville, Indiana University; General Business, Typing, Business Math. Mrs. Betty Lou Holmgren, B.S., M S., Western College, Indiana University; Shorthand, Secretarial Practice. Carefully erasing errors is also part of typing, as Mary Ann Koci learned vthile trying to produce a neat letter. Future homemakers received practical experience Griffith’s homemaking department taught girls how to plan and select a basic wardrobe that would fit their features and personality. Color in clothing and fabric construction, especially cotton and wool, were presented to the girls in Clothing II. Garment construction of napped material and plaid fabric allowed girls to enlarge their wardrobe while gaining sewing experience. Clothing III dealt with the study of textile fibers and fabric wearability. Improved construction techniques, including tailoring, advanced the girls’ sewing abilities. Designing and constructing a basic dress with five changes highlighted the Advanced Tailoring program. Emotional, social moral and marital aspects of adult living prepared girls for the future. Home Problems also helped future homemakers develop a home and community responsibility. Mrs. Florence Ogle , B.S.M.S., Indiana State, Advanced Tailoring, Home Problems.

Working nights and weekends, the custodian stall of Griffith High School keeps the school facilities orderly and in good repair. Cheery smiles and willing- ness to lend a helpful hand make GHS custodians an asset to the faculty and student body. Each day the cooking staff prepares a tasty and well-balanced meal for the students of Griffith High. The staff is kept busy between planning lunches and operating the convenient but hectic “short line” where students buy hot dogs, hamburgers and potato chips. Though they are seldom seen, the custodians and the cooking staff perform important services for the students and faculty of GHS. Cooking Staff includes: Mrs. Jane Pigg, Mrs. Edward Koleski, Mrs. Mrs. Brill prepares for the lunch hour. Yvonne Cronk, Mrs. Dons Marlowe. Mrs. Fern Taylor. Mrs. Jane Rigg. Mrs. Barbara Brill. 53 Mr. Arthur Fiscus, audio visual director, kept audio visual equipment orderly. Mr. James Garretson, director of guidance, counseled juniors in any problems that arose. Mrs. Grace Ashmore, secretary, kept school treasury reports and files in order. Mr. McKay headed GHS as new principal Miss Kyra McKay, counselor, aided seniors in their problems and served as advisor to the newly-organized Pantheretts. Mr. Ben McKay, new CHS principal, paused in a moment of thought while watching the 1966 Homecoming parade. Mr. Floyd Davis served as athletic director in addition to performing the many duties required of him as assistant principal. Mrs. Evelyn Downing, secretary , made duplicates and kept the audio visual files and paper work orderly. 55 Administration formed nucleus of GHS Forming the nucleus of school administration were school board members Harvey A. Fountain , Raymond L. Underwood and Milfred P. Christenson. Xlr. Kenneth Manifold performed many functions as admin, ass 7 bus. affairs. Mrs. Audry Patterson, secretary , also aided in keeping things running smoothly. Mrs. Leona Kane , ass 7 business manager helped to keep things orderly. Mr. William R. Cheever worked hard to fullfill his duties as Superintendent of Schools. GHS is a rather large school when you consider it a job under the supe rvision of one man — Mr. Ben McKay. Mr. McKay, principal, not only had the task of taking care of the school financially and organizing events, he also paid a special interest to the individual student of Griffith Senior High School. Mr. Floyd Davis, assistant principal, helps many students with school and personal problems along with the guidance office. He was usually at the service of the college-bound student or those with a vocational goal. Mr. Davis is also the coordinator of all GHS sports. Assisting the guidance office and the rest of our administration were the office assistants and school secretaries, Mrs. Mary Plogh and Mrs. Grace Ashmore. In the center of Griffith you will find the school board at your service under the direction of Mr. William R. Cheever holding jobs from when and where the buses will run to the hiring of efficient teachers. 56 Seniors experienced new prestige while “We made it!” — a statement reserved for a select group too old to be considered kids and yet too young to enter the adult world. The magic word? Seniors! The class of 1967 began their final year in preparation for Homecoming festivities. Striving to preserve their winning streak in float compe- tion they created a blue dragon with a fork-shaped tongue. Using “No Braggin’ We’re Not Draggin’ ” as their theme, they captured first place for the third consecutive year. The traditional Senior class play posed new problems. Wanting unique- ness Seniors found themselves un- decided between a Senior class Follies or a melodrama. After much discussion they voted to produce a melodrama with a gay nineties review an an added attraction. Senior class ojficers Salty Newhard, Ireas..

It wasn’t every day you had the opportunity to see fellow classmates wearing mickey mouse hats, carrying lollipops and teddy bears to class and young lassies skipping down the hall, but during “spirit week” everybody agreed to co-operate and promote school spirit for the Highland rival football game. GHS students of ’67 had the wonderful satisfaction of being part of our first section championship. In years to come you can turn back REFLECTOR pages and find yourself as a member of that record breaking year. Out going seniors have a lot to look back on too. Their four floats held three first places and one second place. Their rings, as every year, were new and different holding those truly special memories of their high school days. 75 ATHLETICS Well developed muscles, good sportsmanship and winning are goals common among most athletes. What is it that differentiates a Griffith High School athlete? Is it the long hours of practice, the before game pep talks given by coaches or the concentration spent in memorization and execution of plays? Does he become unique in his never-give-up-attitude or the pride he displays in his team’s accomplishments? Unfortunately the answer is not clear- cut. Any athlete is a combination of, if not all of these things. Where then does the real distinction occur? Perhaps the line is drawn when the boy realizes that win or lose he remains a GHS athlete and that is good enough for us. Slow start offset by hard work , determination; During a timeout Assistant Coach Wayne Nichols and Coach Dick Sc hrier instructed Tim XlcVey and Al Jennings on game strategy.

Striving Jor that extra yardage Greg Mack, No. 25, out-maneuvered his opponents. “I signed a contract to coach at GHS only four days before practice started. As a result we had very little time to become acquainted.” stated Coach Rich Schrier. “Our biggest prob- lem early in the season was to develop an of- fensive line. We worked hard on fundamentals and this paid dividends later in the season. Our offensive blocking was led by Tim McVey, Jim Davis, Don Booker, Ted Kane, Bob Wilson and Kerry Picket. Mike Schuttrow did a fine job at quarterback completing 68-134 passes for, 1 ,160 yards and 15 T.D.’s. Tom Jamison was our leading pass receiver catching 22 passes for 9 T.D.’s and 555 yards. Defensively we were not as consistant but the defensive players were able to rise to the oc- casion many times. I believe the best defensive performance was in our 12 — 0 victory against Cal- umet. This was our first victory of the season and the beginning of a successful 5-3-1 season. Our defense was led by the fine work of linebackers Bob Wilson, Rick Gerrard, Kerry Picket, Jim Davis, Mark Kussmaul, Dave DeReamer, Greg Mack and Mike Schuttrow.

Junior Red Wilson, qualified to compete in the State Swim Meet held in Indianapolis. Rod was the first to qualify from a Griffith Swim team. With only a few returning lettermen swimmers the team was basically composed of new boys. Accordint to Coach Leslie, “This year was building and the boys should be very strong next year.” Juniors Jim Finley, Lewis Royce, Rod Wilson and Paul Del Santo were an important source of strength this year for the team. Sophomores Joe Fronczek, Ken Mount, Dale Patterson, Greg Malick, Tom Barkken and Nick Romano swam varsity team this year and should serve as principal starters next year. 85 Golfers shot to first place in the Sectional Golf Meet for the first time in Griffith’s history.

Top medalist for Griffith alone was Greg Deedrick. Coach Bob Reed commented, “I was very satisfied with the 1966 team and I hope the improvement will remain a set pattern. The boys worked together as a team, which is a very important factor for any sport. We are losing three good senior players but the younger boys are sure to keep up the pace set.” Practicing his putting form Dan Covert, Senior, made good use of the gym green Golfers shot way to top in Sectionals 1966 GOLF TEAM: D.

The scores with Crown Point showed the fine improvement that was attained during the season. The first encounter with Crown Point was lost by a 5 — 0 score. Two months later in a rematch the Bulldogs barely managed to squeeze by the Panthers in the longest and closest match of the year. The lights at Central Park had to be turned on to finish Bill Dembowski’s match which lasted over 2 1 2 hours. The Junior Varsity season was an encouraging undefeated one.

The Panther Basket- ball team won their first sectional. “This was my most enjoyable year since I came to Griffith High School,” said Coach Mack, “the unselfishness that the team displayed all year is responsible for our victorious season. We were a team, not individuals, this factor made us a success.” Beating every Hammond team scheduled was only one of the “dreams come true” for Coach Mack, another was Marty Lehmann’s “dunk shot”, first in GHS History. Seniors, Captain Len Zarndt, Pete Kar- nisky, Marty Lehmann, and Tom Jamison were the keys to our victorious season. Juniors Kerry Pickett, Mike Schuttrow, Dave Walters, Len Czapla, Tom Britton, and Rick Gerrard all participated in this record breaking year. Kerry Pickett was the number one choice for the All-Conference team and won the most valuable player award in the Holiday Tourney. The Panthers came up with nine straight wins. This winning streak was broken by the Crown Point Bulldogs after a two week delay due to a 23 inch Blizzard. The Panthers reached all goals except one — capturing the Cal-Conference crown. “1967 was all the way for the Panthers,” stated Coach Red Mack. Outnumbered by Trojan opponents forward Mike “What!!!!” exclaimed Coach “Red Mack Schuttrow got into action under the boards. in sheer disbelief.

New Coach inspired J. V. team to winning season J.V. team under the direction of new Coach Bud Wainscott compiled an impressive and well deserved record of fourteen wins and five defeats. Young Panthers, behind the shooting of Gregg Mack, Tim Redar, and Boyd Otvos jumped out to a fast start by winning their first four games. After a few mid-season losses, the tall group of sophomores ended the season by winning nine of the last ten games. Coach Wainscott is very optimistic about the potential and future performance of this group of underclassmen. He points out Mark Kussmaul as the most improved player during the year with such competitors as Dave Erwin, Bob Metro, and Gary Kistler close behind. Coach Wainscott taught the third grade of Eldon Ready School and coached J.V. bas- ketball on spare time after school.

We had six seniors that did a terrific job in carrying the younger boys. “Another senior that did a tremen- dous job was Ron Gibson who won the conference championship in the 120 pound class.” Looking forward to next year Coach Nichols replied, “We are losing six good seniors and will have only three juniors returning. We are definitely going to be hurting the first half of the season until the younger boys get the necessary experience.” Ron Gibson applied a “ half nelson ' to Crown Point opponent.

John Collet has been a valuable man to GHS in his four years of participating in track and in his la st season he won the state championship in the two mile run. Eight school records were broken by the 1 966 team even though they didn’t have an outstanding record for the entire season. Panthers were victorious at the annual Crown Point Invitational at the University of Chicago by coming in first place for the first time in GHS history. Thinclads of ’66 had their ups and downs by winning over Andrean, Hobart and Clark in relays then losing to Chesterton by a half point. Coaches Tom Kurth and Budd Ballou were hoping for a Conference showing but instead the team placed fourth, only one mark away from a Conference title.

This was not evidence of a mistake by custodians, but instead the yearbook sta ff hard at work producing the 1967 REFLECT OR. Planning pictures , creative layouts and writing copy composed much of the work. Meeting deadlines and checking pages for mistakes before sending them to the printers also played an important part in the year’s work. Helping to design the cover was another exciting and unique experience. These activities consumed more time than the 5th hour work period could possibly provide thun necessitating after school work sessions. Under the supervision of the new advisor, Miss Pat Clark, new positions such as layout editor and photography editor were created. Although many of the sta ffers were inexperienced at the beginning of the year, they quickly learned the “ropes” through practical experience. A trip to the annual National Scholastic Press Association convention in Chicago in November proved to be a highlight of the year. New positions and achievement awards were announced at the annual Quill and Scroll banquet. Responsible for selling of ads and the financial status of the REFLECTOR were Business Staff Nancy Gillis, Pat Miller, Sally Newhard, business manager; Mary Greichunos, subscription manager; Lynn Weber, Jan Conglelon Sandy Anderson, advertising manager and Judy Govert.

Karen Hill, Linda Kleinjeldt, and Margaret Zalac. Production of the PANTHER PRESS Griffith High’s newspaper, wasn’t an easy job. Being a bi-monthly paper, staff members worked hard to meet dead- lines. Writing stories, checking layouts, proof reading and making numerous trips to the printer were experienced by the youngjournalists. Some editors gained experience by attending the Chicago Tribune Seminar and the Northern Indiana Journalism Seminar. Putting aside their typewriters, PANTHER PRESS staff members took time out to sponsor a Halloween soc-hop featuring a local band and entering a decorated car in the 1967 Homecoming parade. 104 Sports Editor Reagan Splady and reporter Bob Makely planned sport pages together. Photographer Rod Wilson was responsible for shooting and processing newspaper pictures.

Cheerleaders sparked School spirit, vigor and poise are essential in the make-up of a cheer- leader. Only through endless hours of practice can the degree of per- fection be attained. For the first time Varsity cheerleaders attended Camp All-American, a national summer cheerleading camp, in Wisconsin where they learned new cheers and skit ideas which proved beneficial at games and pep sessions. Providing spark for student body spirit were Varsity cheerleaders Wendy Miller, Lana Hendrickson, Chris Churilla, Judy Govert, Janet Patterson and alternate Linda Skoru- pa. Coupled with Junior Varsity cheerleaders Nadyne Tamminga, Debie Lager, Jean Christenson and alter- nate Cynthia Siurek, Booster Club supported the JV teams at all football and basketball games.

Fire baton routines highlighted marching season Mr. Sohn , Band Director, was bombarded with last minute questions as members of the band prepared for daily rehearsal. “We take pride in presenting to you the Griffith High School Marching Band.” These were the words heard over the PA system as band members hustled onto the field. Highlight- ing halftime ceremonies, they marched in new maneuvers and created geometric forms. Working in coordination with the booster block and cheerleaders, the pep band, composed of volun- teer members of the regular band, raised the spirit of visiting and home spectators at home games. Holding their batons high, the drum major and majorettes led the band at performances. The four twirlers added a flare to halftime activities as they execu- ted their fire baton routine. Eager for competition, the band entered district and state solo and ensemble contests and band con- tests in Highland, Indianapolis and Fort Wayne.

Ushers kept order and good behavior at all athletic activities and other school events. At the basketball games they swept the floors between halves and between J.V. and Varsity games along with making sure that spectators did not throw candy wrappers on the gym floor.

How does he acquire these extra earnings? The answer lies in the Calumet Region merchants. Through part-time and summer employment by these merchants, GHS students gained valuable experience which helped mold them into mature young adults better prepared to face a changing world. Students, however, are not the only ones to benefit from this proposition. Calumet merchants profit by the patronage shown by appreciative students, their families and friends. No business can have too many customers; however, and the REFLECTOR is happy to offer widely- read ads. Kaplan’s manager, Marty “Foot” Lehmann Get in Step with KAPLAN’S SHOE CITY 128 N.

A CKNO WLEDGEMENTS The 1967 was produced through the co-operation and efforts of many. The staff would like to take this opportunity to express their thanks to the following: Mr. Bob Hastings and Mr. Bob Blanton of the American Yearbook Company. Mr. Tony Guiste and Mr. Bob Hanson of Walinger’s Studio and their photographers, especially Dick Dicus and Mr. Jack Bundy of the S K Smith Company. A special thanks is expressed to Mr. McKay and Mr. Davis who gave us permission to use the gym and auditorium for taking pictures. Also to Mrs. Evelyn Downing, Mrs. Grace Ashmore and Mrs. Mary Plogh, the school secretaries, for their help in running off stencils and keeping accounts for our book. Last, but not least, to all the teachers for letting us interrupt their classes to take pictures, to the custodians, es- pecially Mrs. Ann Leich and also to our parents for putting up with the late hours and the clanking of typewriters. REFLECTOR ' 67 consists of 10 pt. Baskerville with 2 pt. leading for the body copy and the captions are 8 pt. Baskerville Italic set solid while the heads are 24 pt. Baskerville Italic. All captions and body copy were printed in staggered flush left and right form. The opening section, which was something different this year, was printed in 100 pound Contemporary gold paper and the rest of the book in 100 pound texture tone. The cover is black high- lighted with a gold raised bar and contains black and gold lettering.

Oh no! This copy is two lines too long. What do you mean this is all the pictures we have? These crys were frequently heard in room N1 20-Publications Office and represent the frustrating but rewarding work which produced the 1 967 REFLECTOR. Lacking experience this year’s staff faced double trouble. A workable knowledge of journalism had to be acquired before the 1967 REFLECTOR could be started. Reorganization of the staff added to the confusion and it wasn’t until after the first deadline that things started functioning smoothly. This feat I credit to my hard-working and able staff who afforded me an excess of co-operation and friendliness and to our advisor, Miss Pat Clark, who supplied me with much needed advice. I would like to take this opportunity to say ‘thanks’ to all the parents who tolerated the hundreds of inconveniences we caused them. Another well-deserved thanks goes to the administration for the co-operation given and the favors performed. In closing I would like to say I hope you will gain as much satisfaction from the 1967 REFLECTOR as the staff and I have gained in putting it together. Marcia Fountain EDITOR-in-CHIEF 143
