Where ' s my other shoe? Help me zip up my formal! Oh no, he ' s here already! While girls prepared for the annual GAA turnabout, these cries were often heard as 8 p.m. drew near. The romantic mood of a fall evening was materialized when GAA members spent Friday night and Saturday morning decorating the gym with pumpkins, cornstalks and gords to emanate the theme of Harvest Moon. An illuminated fountain provided the background for pictures. Under soft red lights and quiet music, couples danced to the music of the Strangers. As the formal occasion came to a close, the Red Lantern Inn and Wellman ' s became for many, the last stop of the long-awaited night.

Two hours before the curtain rose, the cast nervously applied appropriate make-up and stepped into their array of costumes. It took 3 weeks and 15 imaginative minds before coming up with the final 2 ' A hour show. From the Moldywed Game to a documentary type news report, juniors emphasized its overall theme of the satirism of television programs and commercials.

Counting headlines is one of many assignments in journalism for Junior Elaine Pachnik. Speeches, sonnets. stage depict scope of English departments Books and bulletin boards are time consuming projects in English class for student, Kim Medsker and instructor, Mr. Hark in. A Saturday lost in the jungle of books for a term paper due in a week. This was one of the situations common to Engli sh students throughout the year. Our Town , a play by Thorton Wilder, was analyzed by junior English classes. Tom Sawyer, The Scarlet Letter and Macbeth were assigned to various grade levels. Juniors increased their vocabularies with the study of 20 terms a week. Themes and term papers were also required for all classes. Grammar didn ' t escape unnoticed, however, with dangling participles, prepositional phrases and infinitives causing problems for many. Writing beat stories, covering convocations and doing layouts were activities of journalism students. Drama students not only developed their talents but studied techniques of lighting, make-up and staging. Backstage, studies of lighting techniques are part of the requirements for students in Drama. A nima Is and their behavior are observed by Junior Sue Dolan in biology where experiments are conducted with white mice. Constructing angles proves to be a problem to many geometry students.

Seeking answers, developing logic students explore math, science Broken test tubes . . . spilled chemicals . . . burned fingers . . . these were a few problems encountered by students while experimenting in chemistry. Goggles and aprons became daily attire for those participating in lab study. These regulations were followed to prevent any unnecessary reaction between students and experiments. Writing the never-ending lab reports took up time of students but the results were gaining a little extra knowledge about chemistry and how to use the reasoning power that develops in science students. In math, courses ranging from Algebra I to trigonometry and physics were taught with students cramming their brains with complex equations. Right triangles, square roots and regular polygons were the main subjects of the class. Grading homework and taking tests took up the rest of the time. 35 Contemplating the structure of a modecule is Janet Knoll, chemistry student. Replicas of ancient statues are a constant reminder of the past civilizations studied in World History classes. Social Science students discuss elections Not only exploring past history, but making the present and preparing for the future, history students discovered the world from the Neanderthal Man to Julian Bond.

Creativeness, talent is apparent in Fine Art classes Art and music . . . developed from abstract ideas . . . precious to the creator, often meaningless to the observer. The intangible, and inability to measure a product in terms of good and bad, separates the fine arts from other courses. Besides the usual art classes, art appreciation was offered for the second year. Students were introduced to every art form from Egyptian tombs to Jackson Pollack. Preparing for concerts and their presentation was a constant job for band choral groups. With their profits from the production of Music Man Concert choir members purchased new uniforms. Band members performed at football games, pep sessions, basketball games and concerts. Playing the coronet becomes routine for Dave Erwin as he practices for an evening concert. Language students delve into countries’ cultures Probing past the grammatical and linguistic aspects of foreign languages, French and Spanish students studied the literary figures of Cyrano de Bergerac and Don Quixote. Through the study of these men and their adventures, the cultures of the people were explored as well as the background of the countries. Spanish newspapers were a change from the regular class routine. Senior Brian Boyce takes time out from reading his Spanish book. Spanish I classes tested the audio-lingual method of teaching, trying to create foreign accents from American dialects. Films of Roman, Gothic and Baroque architecture were shown to French classes demonstrating its use in French cathedrals. Language labs helped students improve linguistic skills and their pronunciation. French teacher Mrs. Blum instructs Senior Bill Conway in the correct usage of the lab. 39 New tennis courts expand facilities for P.E. classes New facilities did not affect old locker room habits. The daily battle for towels and the rush to the showers remained as the most energetic part of gym class.

From September to November the boys in physical education are out doors for class. Doing their required calisthenics the sophomore boys ' class begins with push-ups. The uneven parallel bars proved to be a challenge to the girls in physical education. Flying through the air. Junior Gail Lindsey finishes her routine with a dismount. Boys, girls discuss family problems in class Long hours of sewing stitches sometimes leads to long hours of taking them out. This was the predicament of Sophomore Carletta Schwartz after trying on her not-too-snug slacks. Learning to shop and care for a family is one aspect of life that a soon-to-become-adults must face. These and other problems of today were discussed in preparation for adult living classes. Along with discussions, the classes learned to prepare cakes, muffins and breads. They were also taught proper conduct and etiquette. Staging make-believe dates was one method used for demonstrating good and bad manners. Constructing clothes for children as well as for themselves, students in class were busy snipping, pinning and pressing. Not only benefiting from new techniques, pupils found sewing to be a worthwhile and an inexpensive hobby. Accuracy in sewing is as important as in any other field. Tracing darts is one necessity in good dressmaking. In adult living class. Senior Tim Redar finds breaking an egg isn ' t as easy as it looks. 41 Speed, accuracy stressed in business courses The clicking of typewriters and the sound of pens scratching shorthand symbols could be heard in typing and shorthand classes. Learning to strike the correct keys and transcribing and translating symbols made the classes difficult but worthwhile. Students planning a career in business had many classes from which to choose. Beginning with personal typing and going to advanced business law, all phases of office work were covered. Messy carbon paper and reams of adding machine tape presented problems for students at first. But through much practice students became more adept at handling such minor problems. Even with an injured finger, typing on an electric typewriter was a fast and efficient way to get the work done and assignments in. Shorthand is made easier for students and teachers by using records which dictate to individual students. Senior Amelia Toledo finds this method simple and timesaving. Filing techniques are part of secretarial practice class for Senior Norma Hollingsworth. Addition problems are made easier through the use of machines in business classes. Junior Jerry Govert takes time to correct errors. 43 Industrial Arts classes turn Accuracy is essential to good drafting techniques. Discussing some drawings are Junior Jim Messmer and Mr. Felke.

A Grandfather clock was one of the main projects in woodshop. Tables, cabinets and bookshelves were also constructed and later displayed in the high school lobby. Auto mechanics classes repaired and overhauled cars brought in by students. Dropped transmissions, broken axles and slipping clutches were a few problems encountered. Lathes and drill presses were machinery on which they operated. Pursuing careers in interior decorating and commercial art, girls were enrolled in drafting and wood shop for the first time. In metal shop boys built a motorized scooter for office assistants passing absentee lists and delivering passes. Wood Shop students have many projects which are required in order to pass the class. Junior Ricky Klemoff learns how to shape wood with a wood lathe. Shop classes are co-educational this year. Junior Linda Gustafson showed that wood shop class could be beneficial for girls as well as boys. 45 Desire for service , identify Particapation in organizations does not only mean paying dues, attending meetings and getting your picture in the yearbook, it means more— sharing the responsibility of presenting a play, practicing for a choral concert, meeting deadlines and making spirit signs for the team. Through these dubs students also learn to get along with others. % fosters ORGANIZATIONS 46 STUDENT COUNCI L— front row: C. Siurek, J. Kirkley, V. Alger, P. Grimmer, M. Govert, treasurer; J.

Pick up those feet! Point your toes! Four hours and twice a week commands and shuffling feet were heard in the cafeteria as the Griffith Pantherettes practiced for a coming performance. Selection of the pom pon girls was based on appearance, marching and coordination as the girls competed in a field of nearly 100. Prompted by the thought of new uniforms, Pantherettes spent hours at a bake sale selling homemade candy, cookies and pastries during the summer months to raise the money. Working together with Booster Club and cheerleaders, girls backed the team and helped to promote school spirit. Besides use in performances, pom pons serve double purpose for Kathy Haluska as she sweeps gym floor after Saturday afternoon practice.

Programming schedules, typing absentee-sheets, delivering passes and operating the switchboard, office assistants not only received practical training in helping the school operate, but received valuable practice in secretarial work. Whether it was a repaired projector, tape recorder or required book for one of your classes, the office, audio- visual and library assistants were always aiding faculty and students when help was needed. 63 PANTHER PRESS staff Composing a story, fitting a headline and drawing up a page layout were several assignments the PANTHER PRESS met every two weeks. An opportunity to express student opinion was provided by Letters to the Editor , a special column in the PANTHER PRESS, which was one means of uniting school, community and publications. Besides the usual four-page paper, the newspaper issued special editions during Christmas, graduation, Homecoming and sectional events.

Roger , the nickname given to Rogets Thesaurus, was the first aid in producing the yearbook as they searched for a better word. Attending Ball State Summer Institute gave journalists needed experience in the creation of the REFLECTOR. Saturday afternoons were spent going from store to store selling advertisements which proved worthwhile as the staff surpassed its goal of $3,000. All-night work sessions become quite involved for Reflector staff members with familiar surroundings of papers, pictures and snacks to sort through. 67 Quill and Scroll sponsors banquet.

Coach Jim Barlett ' s first year at Griffith was a climatic one with the Panthers capturing four of their last five games to finish 4—5. Griffith ' s momentum carried the team over Highland to place second in the conference with a 3—2 conference standing. Crown Point marked the Panther ' s turning point. The hard-fought contest remained scoreless until the second half when fullback Kevin Vana broke loose for the winning touchdown. Homecoming was fatal for the Panthers, however, as Lowell triumphed 28—13. Ten players received major letters, with the focal point of Panther power being on the backfield. Randy Massena averaged 7.2 yards per carry and was named the Most Improved Back. Greg Mack sported nine touchdowns and earned a spot on the all-suburban team with quarterback Marty Kus. Nick Romano captained the defensive maneuvers and Most Valuable Defensive Lineman Roy Price made 47 tackles.

In his second year on the varsity lineup senior Tim Redar led the team, snaring 137 rebounds and scoring 313 total points. In the Panther ' s stunning victory over East Gary, Redar commanded the floor with a 33 point game sum which was the team high for the year. A strong senior turnout of Greg Mack, Mark Kussmaul, Dave Erwin, and Rich Rastovski backed up the roundballers. Sophomores Robin Green and Corky Kegebein were elevated to the varsity to aid the failing Panther cause. Leading the junior segment of the team were Larry Roznowski and Dan Colby. At the Crown Point Sectionals despite the squad ' s depth, Griffith was eliminated from competition in a 74—43 bout with the Bulldogs.

Jack Mathews also won all regular matches while leading the squad in pins. The team received an addition of four sophomores: Carl Mathews, Bob Kane, Gordon Hanson and Rocky Gibson.

Miss Pat Clark Through the efforts of staff members and with the help of Mr. Ed Hackleman, area sales representative, Mr. Ralph Van Dyke, company art adviser, and Mr. Wayne Wolfe, director of publications, 750 copies of the 1969 REFLECTOR were printed by Delmar Printing Com- pany of North Carolina. We would like to thank Mr. Jack Bundy of S. K. Smith Company of Chicago for his aid in producing the cover. The cover is a direct line print applied in dark brown on to gold cloth. Our appreciation is also extended to Acknowledgements Mr. Bob Hanson, vice president of Walin- ger Studios in Chicago, and Mr. Scott Nazawa and the other photographers for senior, group and candid pictures they have taken during the year. A basic 3-column page plan was used throughout the book except on division pages and on opening pages where no- column layout was followed. Direct line pictures printed over tint blocks were used for special effect on divisions and opening pages. Sienna bronze end sheets and 80-pound Warrens enamel paper were used inside the book. For body copy 10 173 pt. Universe Medium was used. Indents, senior directory and index were 8 pt. Universe Medium. On opening and divi- sions, body copy was 1 1 pt. Universe Italic and heads were 24 pt. Futura Demibold. We are also grateful to Principal Ben McKay, Superintendent William R. Chee- ver, Assistant Principal Larry Pinkerton, custodians, teachers and parents for their patience, support and understanding. Their cooperation was much needed and appreciated in the making of the 1969 REFLECTOR. % % % X The last book is stored, the last locker inspected as a school year ends. For some it is temporary _ They will return to hamburgers at Miner ' s and Mark Antony ' s speeches. For seniors it is a new involvement— with Vietnam, steel mills and fraternities. Whatever their role, the IN VOL VED GENERA TION will play an active part. % ' Ar Grade cards empty lockers , diplomas signal finish 174 175 The 1969 REFLECTOR is finished even the smallest details. We never thought we would make it, but now it is done. Memories of forty-eight page deadlines fade and the book is now a reality. The 1969 REFLECTOR will serve as a Yearbook staff unifies to create symbol of our dreams realized. 1969 REFLECTOR Second color throughout the book . . . eight more pages . . . $3,000 worth of advertising ... a new look on the cover— these features mark the 1969 REFLECTOR from other years. Around Griffith, faces of yearbook staffers became a familiar sight to play directors, coaches, teachers and students alike. Whether it was an ordinary school day, Christmas vacation or Saturday morning, Reflectorites could be found giving directions and explaining picture ideas to one of our photographers, whom we got to know so well. The success of this yearbook I credit to my dedicated staff for their cooperation and hard work. To Candy and Sue give a big thanks for without them I would have been lost. For the much-needed confidence and understanding that our advisor. Miss Pat Clark, gave to me, I give my unlimited appreciation. Belinda Doppler, Editor-in-Chief
