GRIFFITH HIGH SCHOOL Griffith, Indiana Vol.29 Published by the Journalism Department Sulfur dioxide, cuddly kittens, distant Little things you never notice until they are gone — the agonizing thrill of a first date, the cozy warmth of a crackling fire at the Dunes, the ecstasy of being with someone special. Joy comes in bundles, by a letter from your brother in Viet Nam or an appreciative smile from an upperclassman. It envelopes with a penetrating glow, making you glad to be alive. But small sorrows tinge the joy. A spat with a friend, a dateless Prom night . . . feel- ing the spectrum of emotions makes life complete. It is not just the big things but the everyday happenings that are the little things that TOUCH us all. 2 wars touch our center of being Cindy Siurek. Nick Romano. Cathy Haluska A! McDonald. Paulette Udchtiz Greg and Elaine Pachnik Reaping of roses, steel mill dirt, Mom ' s Susie Sanders Kevin Rivich Chris Stevenson cooking, autumn leaves yield harvest of delight A hundred thousand glimmering, lacy objects floating from the sky, the very first snow just right for packing and the mouth-watering aroma of popcorn on a chilly evening all possess the certain quality of pleasing. Im- agine a huge, gooey ice cream sundae topped with gobs of whipped cream and a cherry, or the perfect but im- perfect skirt you sewed yourself. So many things warm you — the school clock reading 3 p.m., an autumn stroll through a sea of crackling leaves or a B from the tough- est teacher. These aren ' t big things you shout about. They are the little things that DELIGHT us all. 5 Preponderance of pickets, crossings disturb youth Every now and then things happen that grab your mind, twisting the minute into the monumental. Being stood up, waiting for a train at 10 degrees below zero, meeting a blind date or making the team but riding the bench irritate everybody. Facts can bother us too. Living in the Calumet Region is equivalent to smoking three packs of cigarettes a day. Teacher strikes were remote to us but they became very real when it happened at Grif- fith. Alumni killed in Viet IMam totals three lives. Some days the world is not a pretty place. There are always many little things that DISTURB us all. Coach Budd Ballou 7 Students thrill to mind-bending moments — Viewing man ' s first steps on the moon, being nominated for Homecoming queen or winning the 440 at the Rens- selaer Relays are events that take your breath away. The exhilaration of tobogganing pell-mell down a snow- covered hill, the first pay check squandered on a dress at Rosalee ' s, an all night siege of chicken wire stuffing that resulted in a prize-winning float or the excitement of going to the Prom send chills shooting up the spine. Happenings that lodge in the mind to mold and shape are the little things that THRILL us all. Janice Mang. Lori Demo. Nanci Laich.

Losing the Highland game, passing your driving test, doing research in advanced biol- ogy — these things help to mellow us.

Rich Schoonover 12 Collage of emotions, experiences touch teens Little things — like a friend who shares his lunch with you, a morning romp through the wet grass or the cuddly brown puppy your parents gave you. All these things constitute the awareness of 898 Griffith High students. Wading through the puddle-wonderful world after a sudden spring storm, receiving a thank-you note for what you thought was a small favor, getting a Christmas present from a child you taught in cadet teaching or watching a baby bird learn to fly — the feelings that de- light, disturb, thrill and mature become part of THE LITTLE THINGSTHATTOUCH US ALL. Laura Sherfey. Bill LaDow Binky Jandrich ACTIVITIES meant two hours of strenuous play prac- tice, long evenings designing and assembling Homecoming floats and weeks of planning publicity campaigns for a fall music concert. The end product became a standing ovation on opening night, a prize-winning float and a sell-out concert. Working together to complete the tedious jobs of making paper roses, twisting cr6pe paper and covering card tables for a successful formal dance gained friends and satisfaction. Students cast aside homework and chores a few hours to par- ticipate in little things that added an extra touch to school life. 15 D ' ya wanna walnetto? mumbles Ray Jarrard as he mimicks the dirty old man on NBC ' s Laugh In .

Humpty Dumpty, the Three Bears and Harpo Marx also tramped through the halls to class along with traditional sailors, little kiddies and hoboes. To promote enthusiastic spirit and to Lower Highlanders before the Griffith-Highland game. Student Council sponsored the fourth annual Spirit Week. Three days were devoted to demonstrations of spirit for the game against the traditional arch-rival. Dress-Up Day began the week ' s activities with students showing consideration for the team by looking their Sunday best in suits, ties, fancy dresses and dress shoes. School colors were common coordinates worn on Black and Gold Day. Senior Cords, letter sweaters, Panther hats and spirit buttons all helped to fire up the team. For the third year in a row. Class of 1 970 copped the Spirit Week trophy at the pep session Friday afternoon.

As the final whistle shrieked to begin the parade, participants stole last comparing glances at their competitors. Cream Em, exemplified by a giant can of Creme of Eagle Soup, nabbed first place in float division for juniors. Seniors ' float Panthers Pour It On received second place while sophomores came in third with Flip Em. Squawks from a bird cage characterized the first place car from Girls ' Glee which urged the panthers to ' Cage Em. Once at school, shivering spectators watched the enormous pile of wood ignite into flames, blotting out the night sky. Minor explosions burst from the fire adding to the enthusiastic chants led by cheerleaders. Look what we ' ve got. look what we ' ve got! Chanting their victory of catching and caging an East Cary Eagle are Girls ' Glee Club members While the once towering flames died down, students danced the popcorn to soul sounds of the World Column at the Bonfire Dance sponsored by Student Council. 18 In the allotted six hour time period Senior Class members managed to gather a pile of wood that firemen said was the biggest they had seen at Griffith. Symbolic of the fiery Panther spirit, the bonfire blazes on Out of the cold night air.

Painted windows, sit-ins, the introduction of queen candidates and a frenzied pep session added to the excitement and tension felt by students during Homecoming Week activities. Although the air was brisk and cold, a mounting feeling of warmth spread through the crowd. The excitement swelled as the coronation time grew near. Five candidates and their escorts circled the field moments before the queen was announced. Darice Detzler, escorted by Mike Pigg and Max Adams, was crowned Homecoming Queen and reigned over the festivities of the evening. Once inside and out of the cold, students and alumni enjoyed the music of the Echoes of Time at the dance sponsored by Letterman ' s Club and Cheerleaders. Goldfish, gazebos, girls, gowns provide distinctive Girls had switched roles and gone through the unusual procedure of approaching a boy and asking him to a dance. Dates were made and each boy had ordered flowers to match his girl ' s dress. With the arrival of the annual Girls Athletic Association turnabout. GAA members took time between stopping at the hairdressers and the florists to transform the gym to fit the theme A Rose is a Rose is a Rose. Pink roses provided a garden setting where couples spent a sophisticated evening dancing to the ball-room music of Bill Thomas and his orchestra. A flowered gazebo sheltered a wishing pond filled with goldfish swimming around a multi-colored fountain. Pausing during the normal events of a formal occasion, couples who held winning raffle tickets tried to catch their prize goldfish. Leaving with souvenirs and memories of a wonderful evening, couples then dined at Poor Richard ' s and Wellman ' s. In spite of a danceless evening because of Jerry Nortons ' football injury.

Ignoring what she had always heard about foreign men, Nellie overcame her smalltown prejudice. With 200 hours of practice time required, 47 students helped to make Concert Choir’s annual musical a success. Comprising the cast were officers, marines, ensigns and islanders. Lengthy rehearsals paid off when over 1 500 attended the two-night performances. Upon entering the auditorium, the audience was given leis by cast members portraying native girls.

Q-bomb creates havoc Armed with long bows and filled with the desire for revenge, the countrymen of Grand Fenwick invaded New York City. They seized the Q-bomb and returned to their homeland. With the bomb in her possession. Grand Fenwick rose as the most powerful nation in the world during the Senior Class play, The Mouse That Roared. Tiny Grand Fenwick only five miles by three miles, was practically unknown among the larger European nations. Her only means of income was the production of Pinot Grand Enwick By official proclamation. Queen Glorianna XII, Carolyn McComish, declared war on the U.S. Tully Bascom, a simple-mined non-political backwoodsman portrayed by Mike Holsapple, led the invasion of New York City. After seizure of the bomb, the Americans were forced to stop making the imitation wine. Over 100 after school and weekend hours were spent in constructing sets, making costumes and rehearsing for the final performances. Nearly $400 was used to purchase scripts, costumes, make-up and sets. The class received a profit of $405 from the two-night production.

Dress code makes debut to dawn Students appealing for change, such as Rick Rico on the issue of long hair, receive coverage in Panther Press with the aid of pictures taken by photographer Mike Thiel. 28 Bold extremes, from mini to maxi, in both appearance and practicality are shown by Cheryl Griffee and Jackie Bernath Although beards and moustaches were not accepted by the new guide lines, sideburns like Don Janovsky ' s were worn by many of new decade; dress slacks, jeans array students Fringed buckskin jackets ranging from shades of brown to blue caught on with boys and girls alike Adopting this f ad is Larry Woods. With inches of snow on the ground and a wind chill factor of 50 below, girls shed mini and maxi coats at lockers revealing slacks and jumpsuits while boys donned broken-in blue jeans with no fear of being sent home. Along with changes in fashion came changes in the dress code, reflecting a nation-wide trend. A special committee of teachers, parents and students aired their views in a student body opinion poll. While some were satisfied with the idea of more leniency, others cried for a one-word code, cleanliness. Compromise resulted in a guide-line for appropriate dress permitting girls to wear slacks and boys to wear blue jeans and grow long hair. Besides being met with maxi coats, cold was warded off with mittens, stocking caps and six foot scarves which were flipped over the shoulder or tucked in the neckline. Fringed buckskin jackets suited in-between weather. Scarves tied around the waist, head or neck also added style to attire. Skirts were short and flared, while slacks were wide and cuffed. Shirts with pointed collars and billowing sleeves were worn under hip-long vests and jackets. Handy wigs altered girls ' appearances from day to day. often producing confusion. 29 Flowered trellises add to the romantic southern setting for Kevin Vana. Pam Grimmer, Dona Bowman and Jerry Trzeciak. Adding to the family photo album of memories, Mrs. Davis captures daughter Pam relaxed before her date arrives. 30 After being crowned 1969 Prom King and Queen. Jerry G overt and Jackie Higgason begin their reign with a traditional dance. Snapshots, home movies provide lasting memories of ' Southern Splendor ' Perched nervously on the edge of their seats, students could not help but let their eyes dart to the clock — only two hours until 3 p.m. Then, in five hours . . . Anxiously awaited hours were over and seniors were able to relax and enjoy Southern Splendor, their last formal dance. For juniors, it was the end of painting murals and hanging crepe paper, while shy sophomores considered it a privilege to attend the dance with an upperclassman. Wrought-iron furniture and a fountain served as props in the transformed lobby. Sophomore girls led couples down cobblestone paths to the entrance of a mansion, where couples danced under a draped canopy to Buddy Pressner ' s Orchestra. In contrast to the warm southern atmosphere of the previous evening, Saturday was brisk and windy. Prom-goers shed their air of sophistication and changed into jeans and warm coats to spend a day at the Dunes. 31 Jubilation T.

Daisy Mae has tried for years to persuade Li ' l Abner to let her catch him in this traditional event so they could get married. Routine was broken in Dogpatch, USA when the people learned there would be no race. Looking for an atomic bombsite. the US government ran a four-year survey proving the town to be the most useless spot in the country Unless Dogpatchers found something to make them essential, they would have to move to the city and face taking baths, filing fingernails and worst of all, working. Just before the bombing began, the townspeople remembered the statue of their beloved hero. Jubilation T. Cornpone. While moving it a tablet signed by Abraham Lincoln fell out, making the statue a national shrine which could not be destroyed. The bombs were called back, and the Dogpatchers didn ' t have to evacuate. Cast members of Li ' l Abner, the second annual all-school musical included 61 chorus members and 5 leads.

Graduation: puzzle piece Remembering good times shared with friends, Jackie Toczek tearfully realizes that more than 12 years of classroom study have ended. to expanding jigsaw of life Two first place floats, the senior play Tom Jones and a gift of a new football scoreboard were puzzle pieces adding color to the expanding jigsaw of memories for the Class of 1 969. Humdrum, routine, uneventful days consisting of opening and slamming lockers, climbing stairs, elbowing down jammed hallways, and memorizing lines from Shakespeare ' s tragedy. Macbeth , all gave essential contrast to complete the picture of the seniors ' high school years. While dwelling on these reflections, graduates were awarded a document which turned their thoughts toward more serious aspects of life. Carefree, light-hearted days are gone along with those of following the crowd. Whether it be marriage, four years of college or combat in the swamps of Viet Nam, the graduating seniors now face pressed decisions. Searching, laughing, crying, looking for just one more piece to the complex puzzle of their lives. Delivering vahdictory and salutatory addresses are top to bottom: Harold Selander, valedictorian.

Awaiting con- frontation with dormant minds, the trunk bends fruitladen boughs toward learners. Students have the opportunity to pick the fruit . . . attain knowledge. If pickers neglect their obliga- tion, the fruit grows out of reach. The fruit may fall because students wait too long . . . waste time in class. Or, gotten too early, the outgrowth may become injurious to the scholar . . . knowledge without proper guidance. But, selected at its ze- nith, the ripened fruit matures the individual and enriches him. 39 Trying to appear composed and relaxed, a speech student conceals her nervousness as she crumples one finished page in partial relief. Grammar befuddles English A noun? An adverb? It can ' t be an adjective. Just what is this word? Grammar . . . the perennial plague that struck English classes. Sophomores, juniors and seniors alike suffered from the epidemic that spread from class to class. Verb agreement, tenses and clauses helped, however, in shaping the individual ' s form of expression, his English. Applying his grammar, the student expressed himself on paper by writing themes, concerning topics from teen-age drivers to perfect dates. Silently watching the clock, speech students waited nervously for their turn to come. Learning to overshadow this fear with confidence, they studied correct ways to relate thoughts verbally. English students could often be seen at lunch, cramming the last chapter of To Kill a Mockingbird or Wuthering Heights before their test next hour. The movies, Macbeth and The Grapes of Wrath were shown to junior and senior English Lit classes. Counting headlines and developing sprightly leads became the job of journalism students. Advanced journalists polished their skills by working on REFLECTOR, PANTHER PRESS, News Bureau and ARMAGEDDON staffs. Critically reviewing the PANTHER PRESS, Jackie Bernath searches for style errors, inaccurate facts, misspelled names and incorrect layouts. 40 students; classic books enrich reader Queen Elizabeth and Henry VIII live again in a puppet satire by seniors Carolyn McComish and Joyce Johnson.

From the ancient primative to the ultra-modern, social science students investigated man — his beginning, his mistakes and his conquests. Class discussions concerning Adolph Hitler, draft and Viet Nam War ignited heated debates in history classes. A study of Byzantine and Gothic architecture helped sophomores in world history picture old Roman and Greek empires. U. S. history students met Miles Standish and Samuel Gompers in their new text. Dabbling in the stock market and filling out income tax returns, seniors in economic classes previewed situations they would face after graduation. Government students read Miller ' s book. The Meaning of Communism, a study in contrast to their own form of government. Psychology and sociology students explored man ' s inner problems by experimenting with ink blot tests and IQ ' s. They searched into the causes and effects of mental diseases and examined human behavior. A s the flag of every nation differs, so do state and federal constitutions. Government seniors learn these and other basic principles in class.

Sound molded into a tune, flowing and vibrant. From these the student learns to develop his personality and ideals. Fine Art classes gave the young artist an opportunity to express himself, using his hands to create and his vocal chords to resound. Developing a personal technique and style, art students did advance study in drawing, sculpture and ceramics. Art appreciation classes probed into the histories and lives of old masters by studying Da Vinci ' s Mona Lisa and Pieta by Michelangelo. French horns, oboes and big bass drums blended together sixth hour to practice for Friday night football game performances and band concerts. The 100-member band, braving freezing drizzle and muddy football fields, sparked half-time shows. Besides competing in individual and ensemble contests. Concert Choir staged the musical My Fair Lady.

Linguists ponder El Cid, Victor Hugo, Cervantes Pinatas. tacos and crepe suzettes added to the diet of language students, as they delved into the customs of Fr ance and Spain. Both advanced language students used new texts, encompassing geography, history and the cultures of the countries. French I students, attempting to learn French r ' s , often overcame their handicap by practicing in front of a mirror. In French II. students applied language skills in class skits. Advanced French classes surveyed French literature and Victor Hugo. Introduced to the foreign language. Spanish I students translated conversations. Third year Spanish students encountered Don Quixote and El Cid in their challenge of Latin culture. While students learned basic principles of the languages, books such as 101 French Verbs and Spanish dictionaries became bibles” to language students. In a fiesta-filled atmosphere a Spanish student contemplates Latin American culture — pinatas. tacos and bull fights. 45 Board work gives senior Noe!

Flasks funnels assist science labs; Camouflaged by nature, a chameleon evades detection by senior Glen Wade in biology as he peers into the tank hoping to observe its habits. 46 theorems, tables speed procedures in math classes Trudging through muddy fields to Horseshoe Pond, biology students gathered phytoplankton and protozoan for lab experiments. In this way, they correlated classroom lessons with field excursions. Advanced classes dissected sharks, squids and fetal pigs to compare anatomies. Perplexed algebra and trigonometry students puzzled over calculation-cluttered chalkboards trying to comprehend logarithms, functions and second-degree equations. They finally realized, after pondering over variables, x was no longer unknown. Using only an unmarked straight edge and a compass, geometry classes compiled constructions into notebooks. Others researched mathematicians ' lives for semester term papers. Ring stands and beakers became familiar equipment to chemistry students as they completed lab experiments. These tests applied theoretical concepts based on chemical bonds and Avogadro ' s number. They also used spectroscopes in determining the characteristic spectrum of each element. The head bone ' s connected to the neck bone Senior Lisa Boehme points out as she studies human anatomy in Advanced Biology class Dog-tired after an exhausting 100-yard length, sophomore John Kovesci gasps for a breath of air in the swimming unit of Boys ' PE. Splashketball storms pool; , markswomen fire arrows Beads of sweat trickle down a forehead into an eye, blurring vision. Breathless runners gasp and pant for air. A whistle blows, a gruff voice yells pick up those feet, one more lap. These characteristics and commands became routine for physical education students. Feminine biceps flexed as girls in PE classes hefted eight-pound shotputs. Twenty-four girls chose sides, skinning knees and straining muscles to force a 30-inch cage-ball over the defender ' s goal. Knock your arrows, draw your bows, fire! bellowed PE teachers. Contrary to these commands for a sure bulls-eye, girl marksmen often closed their eyes and shot in haphazard form. Splasketball, a modified version of basketball, combined court techniques with swimming skills in boys PE classes. As opponents hurled balls during a game of slaughterball, wary students sought refuge behind a teammate, while less fortunate players limped to the sidelines to doctor injured, bruised limbs. Neglecting the call I’ve got it! juniors Pam Dagley, Diane Welch and Kathy Witt converge to return the rapidly descending ball 48 Understanding pattern directions is often a problem for beginning clothing pupils who get tips from Miss Janet Oy er. home ec. teacher Boys gain culinary skills sewers explore fashions Sharing the latest gossip while ripping out baste stitches or fearfully taking the first taste test of their own concoctions were common experiences of students in Home Economics classes. Invading enemy territory, boys donned aprons in an effort to outshine girls in making cookies, pepperoni pizzas and Baked Alaska in food labs. Viewing a movie and observing the care given to newborn babies were parts of a class field trip to Mercy Hospital maternity ward. Humming machines and murmuring girls made it difficult to hear pins dropping in the sewing rooms. Frustration when seams weren ' t straight and discouragement when a dress didn ' t fit were overcome by pride in the final product. Fashions ranging from maxicoats to jumpsuits were modeled by girls in the department ' s annual style show. Inviting all students and parents, classes baked and served refreshments for the show, including their own homemade cookies and punch. Potency of onions overwhelms senior Paula Konopasek as she learns, by first- hand experience, to make onion rings in Adult Living class. 49 • V Business students desert Armed and ready to catch any mistake in Typing I .junior Candy Crider strives for accuracy assisted by her constant companion, an eraser. Simon and Garfunkle in typing class? The racing of fingers across keys accompanied by the steady rhythm of records helped typists obtain speed and accuracy, while combining class work and hit sounds. Strange symbols wer e translated into important business codes by shorthand students. Equipped with tablets and pencils, these girls learned practical secretarial skills prior to applying for jobs in region business offices. Rolls and rolls of paper spewed from adding machines as they tabulated countless digits made by distressed students in accounting problems. Bookkeeping students kept ledgers and balanced all incoming and outgoing money for imaginary business firms. Office etiquette, including answering the phone correctly and dressing properly, was stressed in Secretarial Practice and Clerical Procedures classes. Legal contracts confronted in everyday situations were interpreted into layman ' s terms for Business Law classes. While learning to communicate in the business world, students in Business English typed letters, memorandums and telegrams. Whether college or office bound. junior Janet l lusial is sure Mr. Jim Claxton will select the typing class best suited for her needs hunt, peck ' system, meet ' Gregg ' Time saved by the indispensable adding machine frees senior Gayle Woolsey from checking over problems.

Boys acquired the skills needed to repair cars, whether their own family autos or those of others. Woodshoppers constructed violins and guncases by sanding, scraping and varnishing their projects step-by-step. Accustoming themselves to sawdust debris, they crafted bookcases and shelves for sch ool and community. Blueprints — incomprehensible to some students, became familiar guides to those enrolled in drafting. Orthographic and architectural drawings tested the three-dimensional perception abilities of students. Drafters found it took more than a steady hand and sharp pencil to determine the preciseness of their work. Six cylinders . . . 743 cubic inches . . . 2,400 pounds . . . these specifications fit the diesel engine that auto shop students repaired as a second-semester project. Donated by Vic Kirsch Construction Company, the department was the only one in the area with a diesel engine.

Glass wax mixed with food coloring applied upon stencils signaled the conning of Christmas as Student Council decorated the school for the Holidays. At a party for 60 orphan boys, members further attempted to instill yuletide bliss by visiting the Carmelite Orphanage. There they saw young faces light up upon seeing a Jolly Santa who passed out a personal package for each . Instituted for the first time in an effort to have more active members in the club, membership petitions were required of all office seekers.

SENIOR SCOOP ' 70, the class newsletter, published by the council, informed upperclassmen on board decisions, successful past projects and possibilities of future plans. A leaflet receiver often sensed the pride of seeing his name in print of the uneasiness of reading about his own graduation preparations. In outlining float construction, these 1 5 upperclassmen divided seniors into groups each with specific sections to build. During the last days before Homecoming, assembling of the float sections solidified the blueprint of Panthers Pour It On. Making the final choice for the class play, senior council selected The Mouse That Roared. After hours of hectic rehearsals, set construction and ticket sales, cast members made the plays debut a last stage performance for many seniors. 57 FBLA — back row: L. Hunt. S. Conley. T. Fuhrmark.

Early morning trips to colleges aided FTA members in choosing schools to further their education. Sweatshirts and charms from bookstores along with deeper understandings in prepared areas of interest traveled home with students. In its first year FBLA faced drawing up a constitution. planning trips and scheduling visits by speakers to aid members in their choice of impending professions. Career speakers periodically lectured about various business occupations informing members to excel in fields of shorthand and typing.

This practice, instituted as a display of pride, invoked members to don pins on Friday or to pay a 25-cent fine. Recognizing students with a B or better average, the club sponsored an honors banquet for the second year. Gold Panther helmet banks, sold early in Septe mber, reduced banquet expenses. At this dinner guidance counselors presented awards to the student with the most improved grade average and to the senior who maintained the best grade average while enrolled in a college prep program. In order for graduating seniors to have a chance to participate in the club ' s activities. Honor Society changed inductions from May to February. The mid-term initiation gained deeper meaning from the seniors nature of the candlelight ceremony. Familiar with corridors and classrooms, members conducted parent tours through school during American Education Week.

As the season ' s first whistle blew on Independence Day, band members recognized this signal as the beginning of half-time performances, Christmas concerts and four parades. Devoting 10 hours of practice to each home football game routine, marchers concentrated on keeping in step and filing into proper letter formations.

' Pantherettes pace halves Stray curlers, strands of paper from pom pons and scattered shoes confirmed evening practices as Pantheretts spent four hours a week polishing performances for halftime shows at football and basketball games. With over 100 girls competing in tryouts, 31 qualified for Pantherettes after two weeks of practice. Special emphasis centered around poise, coordination and marching techniques as a panel of students and teachers evaluated the girls and made final choices. Divided into squads of four, the girls taught routines to the other Pantherettes and used tapes from the pep band during practices. Caught up in a school cheer, sophomore Pantherettes Janice Mang. Barb Masuga and Kathy VanStrien forget their pre-performance jitters With the profits from summer carwashes and bake sales, Pantherettes bought yards of black and gold wool for new outfits. Members cut, basted and stitched pattern pieces as they assembled the uniforms, finally sewing on letters and coordinating the new attire with black sweaters. 64 Jitters hit, G-men cry: ' Vote for my candidate! ' Pangs of self-consciousness and the piercing looks of 900 pairs of eyes haunted Lettermen who nominated Homecoming queen candidates. While endorsing their nominees, athletes stomachs knotted with stage fright. Besides selling Homecoming Queens off-season athletes kept active in sports by selling programs during games. They often saw fans use the rosters as protection from wet bleachers, confetti and the brunt of enthusiasts ' excitements. In display of school pride and team support, letter earners wore sweaters and jackets with gold letters. chevrons and numerals sewn on. Besides being active in sports during the school year. Lettermen acted as salesmen throughout the summer by selling metal license plates imprinted with Griffith Panthers to town residents.

Soap suds enabled GAA members to wash cars bringing in $425 with warm, sunny weather aiding the girls in drying autos and rags. Car wash profits helped pay for new black and gold uniforms and warm-ups needed by interscholastic teams. Spectators saw female Panthers spurt from locker rooms onto fields, courts, mats and pool areas wearing gold tops and shorts. While many girls busied themselves at home laying out clothes or fixing hair for the annual GAA Dance, members used 1 25 rolls of red, white and pink streamers to change the bareness of the gym into a rose-decked ballroom 68 Pennants on pupils, petunias on patio reflect clubs Bruised, swollen thumbs and ink blotched hands with indelible ink testified to tedious hours of work required to transform yards of black and gold felt into triangular banners and Panther-shaped pennants.

Bozo, represented in rare form by squirt-gun paintings, and The Thinker , created by hands bending wires intricately into sculptures, added variety to the annual spring Art Show. Is it a woman?

Prepared to respond cheerfully, senior Cathy Garvey answers an office call as one of her duties. Working the switchboard, operating audio visual machines and searching for library books confronted students while gaining practical office experience. Left to man the switchboard for incoming calls, office girls learned to plug in lines and take absentee reports. By answering the intercom and typing sick lists, girls helped lessen duties of secretaries. Dry-mount, dittos and film returns became daily vocabulary terms of audio visual assistants as they operated machines and filed filmstrips. AV helpers also repaired projectors and delivered them to assigned classes. Spending most of their time checking books in and out, library assistants still found room in their schedules to create bulletin board designs. During their class period aides not only relieved pressure from secretaries but also allowed themselves a chance to practice techniques from typing and shorthand classes. 70 Donating old toys for the Toys for Tots Drive , Y-Teen members Carol Fedor and Lisa Boehme examine their stuffed animals. Y-Teens clean windows, shine on Sparkle Day Somewhat like little elves who do their work while others sleep, Y-Teens washed car windshields in Griffith parking lots on Sparkle Day. Squirts of Windex combined with elbow grease wiped steel mill dirt from windows as the girls personified their purpose of serving the school and community. To match the mood of the decorated school lobby, Y-Teens placed a giant toy box near the Christmas tree for donations to the Toys for Tots Drive. Helping to fill the Christmas wishes of 1 80 needy children, members supplied materials to repair Raggedy Ann ' s and Andy ' s, games. puzzles and other broken toys. The designing of corsages and boutineers for teachers added to the list of Christmas projects the 45 membered group performed.

Different head schedules, type sizes and deadlines presented problems to PANTHER PRESS editors as they changed printers within a week ' s notice. Having access to bold face type, staffers broke up dull gray with the darker print. In transferring miniature dummy layouts to full-scale mock-ups, page editors often found their fingers and scissors encrusted with rubber cement. Staffers used the skills and concepts learned in J I to write stories, pose pictures and draw layouts As large city newspapers base many stories on tips and inside sources, PANTHER PRESS relied on news, feature and ad ideas from sixth hour journalists for articles. A relief from the work and worries of publishing a bi- weekly paper, staffers celebrated birthdays and holidays with parties. Journalists brought food, gifts and decorations to these after-school festivities. Advertising managers boasted of selling ad spaces extensively as the advertisement campaign brought in more money than any previous one. 72 In charge of picture taking and dark room facilities for the Publications Department are photographers Bill LaDow.Jim Caron and Mike Thiel on activities; advertising reaches new heights Working together to produce a bi- weekly paper are back row Elaine Pachnik. page two editor.

With pictures, copy and captions, the staff tried to present an accurate story of the school year. Amid piles of discarded carbon paper, writers composed and counted captions and heads to fit layout requirements. During all-night work sessions staffers became accustomed to freezing in basements and searching for the right word as they worked to meet the deadline. Whether by foot, bus or car, staffers set out during the summer to seek advertisements to help finance the book. Sales of over $3,600 supplied needed funds to pay for extra color blocks and tints. A 10-day summer institute at Ball State University provided REFLECTOR members with a background in layout, copy writing and editing necessary for producing a yearbook.

Quill and Scroll taps top journalists at banquet Moments of tension caused journalists to tap feet and bite fingernails as they anxiously waited for the announcement of new positions at the Fifth Annual Quill and Scroll Banquet. Quill and Scroll, the national journalism honorary society, sponsored the banquet. where over 1 80 people awaited the announcement of new staffers. Quill and Scroll members and award winners. Candle flames flickered during the banquet ' s candlelight ceremony for the induction of new Quill and Scroll members. Also highlighting the evening was the presentation of the William R. Cheever Award. Two years of service in publications with notable contributions was the requirement for the recipient. To finance the banquet the club sponsored a Ball State University Singers Concert for the community for the third consecutive year. By taking one of the performers home to dinner members had a chance to talk with them about college life and campus fun. 77 ATHLETICS provided a myriad of emotions and experi- ences for students. Whether spectator, player or benchwarmer, all shared the torture of standing vigil to a 82-47 thrashing by an arch-rival or the welcome relief when the team eked out a 14-13 win. All felt the frustration of filling the conference cellar spot and the joy of avenging last year ' s Homecoming defeat. Training and discipline meant trimming sideburns to meet team stan- dards and hitting tackle blocks instead of beaches on summer afternoons. Dieting wasn ' t an exclusive female pastime as guys too did push backs— from the dinner table— to keep trim. 78 Fading back to pass. Corey Vana looks for an open, downfietd receiver. Scrimmages are an important part of the player ' s daily workout. Gridders tally discouraging Crashing helmets, grunts of charging players and the loud voices of yelling coaches could be heard throughout a daily football practice. Starting August 1 5, the team practiced twice a day, two hours at a time, until the start of school, when practices began at 3: 1 5 p.m. Hampered by the lack of lettermen, the Panther squad plummetted to a losing season with a disappointing conference mark of 0-4 and an overall record of 2-8 with the two wins coming against River Forest and East Gary. In each ball game, the Panthers averaged only 1 75 pounds while each opposing team averaged 20 pounds more per man. Running back Jim Duncan led the team in rushing with over 700 yards gained for the season. Kurt Nelson and Dave Stevenson were the defensive mainstays with 76 and 57 tackles respectively. Gordon Hanson, chosen Most Valuable Player, was also named co-captain with Corey Vana and Kurt Nelson. A great tribute can be paid to the Panthers who continued with a winning effort until the last whistle of the last game, commented Coach Bartlett. 1969 VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM — back row K Wilkey.

Characterized by a season of learning and rebuilding, the squad stumbled to a 6- 1 4 season, but salvaged upset victories over heavy favorites Morton and Portage. Arch-rival Highland edged past Griffith by one point as a Trojan forward completed a lay-up with two seconds remaining on the clock. We beat them in everything but points, commented Coach Heady.

In spite of winning two of it ' s first three meets, the five- member team finished with a 4- 1 9 record. The young team acquired the know-how needed in competitive play. Though the team was aware of its obstacle, the enthusiasm it displayed throughout the season made up for the inexperience, Coach Charles Ricks commented. With the lowest score average, medalist Dave Deedrick and captain Rick Zeller were named top golfers of the team. Perfecting their putt and drive, Deedrick and Zeller gained the needed skills to defeat opposing golfers. Turfmen placed eighth in the sectional and completed the season with a 2-8 record in Calumet Conference Play.

However, the inexperienced squad with a total of four returning seniors, went into a deep slump after the Portage game, grabbing only two of the remaining 1 2 games for a final record of 4 wins and 1 2 losses. Weak hitting crippled the team ' s chances for a winning season as it scored a meager 37 runs compared to a total of 77 for the opponents. Dan Kasprzak supplied most of the power for the Panther squad with a healthy .350 batting average for the season. With deep concentration centered around strong pitching. Al Hein and Don Janovsky carried the load and ended with low earned run averages of .088 and 1 .88.

Silas Marner, Shakespeare, Spirit Week, Homecoming floats, six class periods . . . terms vaguely known to sophomores, crystalized as they entered their first year of high school feeling foreign in the unfamiliar halls. Finding and growing accustomed to a new seat in the auditorium or exploring new facets of the familiar library challenged the 362 members of the Class of ' 72. After-school gymnastic practices. Booster Club meetings and Varsity Basketball workouts constituted new ways to spend after-school time for sophomores. Active in GAA interscholastic teams and in varsity positions, these senior high newcomers rivaled upperclassmen for playing time. Experienced in Homecoming, juniors and seniors offered stiff competition in the contest to build a first-place float. Lower classmen found it challenging to transform a wood-hewn flatbed into a colorful display. The thought of being turned down or not being asked feared sophomores during weeks preceding the GAA Dance. Those going found the soft music and dim lights different from junior high dances.

Mind-sticking slogans such as Just like Grandma used to make or Fresh from the oven alerted youthful consumers to quality products. Stocking groceries, carhopping, clerking and pumping gas required stu- dents to fill out W-2 Forms, make social security payments and budget their money.

Assistant Principal Larry Pinkerton, teachers, custodians and parents for their support, patience and understanding in the creation of the 1 970 REFLECTOR Staff teamwork tackles five mind-wracking deadlines Diane Austin, editor-in-chief Reflectq Giving up a regular Friday night date with your steady boyfriend and hop- ing he will understand, or by- passing the luxury of sleeping in on Saturday mornings to take ad pictures . . . Things you never no- tice until they are gone. These are the little things that made the individual a part of the 1970 REFLECTOR. With a backbone of 1 5 determined hard workers. I can characterize the ' 70 staff in one word — teamwork. Met with the challenge of creating a 188 page book, staffers involved themselves in a cause For their understanding and devo- tion to the staff, I thank the section editors. I extend a special thank-you to Sylvia, Barb and Linda who were always there in times of need and for the most rewarding experience ever, I thank my adviser. Miss Pat Clark who instilled into us what a philosopher once said. Until he has been a part of a cause larger than himself, no man is truly whole.
