Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1971 volume:

I i � i • • ' • • ' •V Wha( c o Cod and pepperoni pizza have in common? They both symbolize two of the universal needs of youth, food for the mind and the body. Youth ' s needs take many forms — people, solace, a touchdown, clean air, a pet, school, a buddy. Sometimes the results of his demands are contradictory. While 35 per cent of Lake County families rely on the steel mills for their income, the Calumet Region has been ranked as high as 14th among national air pollutants. What helps youth fulfill his needs can also harm him, and those needs are as diverse as his methods of satisfying them. Robin Green Greg Underwood Sometimes you want to chuck it all, crawl aboard a magic carpet and sail away to a fantasy land. Everyone harbors in his heart a wish for a Camelot existence where term papers, sulfur dioxide clouds and fights with friends are banned. What a creature man is! His soap perfumes the air; his auto fumes contaminate it. Modern-day Huck Finns still seek ways to slip away from the confines of shoes and civilization. Some escape by conventional means — books, movies, daydreams. Others become pseudo-sophisticated — never to be shocked, surprised or deeply moved — or at least never show it. Growing groups on the fringes of society profess to be living more fully by making contact with all that is good through the chemistry of drugs and alcohol. In life the real is better than the artificial. 5 There ' s magic in the commonplace; the way you feel the morning after finals, the sight of raindrops making patterns in a puddle, the security of a familiar symbol. Pot, LSD and alcohol shrink in stature next to the real highs in life — knowing a seat at the lunch table is reserved for you, viewing the launching of another space probe, having a special person take you to see Love Story, becoming godfather for a baby sister, taking your place in the commencement line. Getting high on life is the best SHOT IN THE ARM. Table of Contents Activities Academics Athletics Organizations Advertising Tyann Sanders, Corky Kegebein Mark Swatek, Greg Pachnick Denise Finnie 8 Activities Text books and lab reports don ' t complete a person; school offers more than classroom lectures in helping a student learn to deal with himself and others. Activities provide a vehicle for rounding out the personality Satisfaction may be gained in less than ideal situations — stringing lights on an 8-foot chickenwire Panther for a second place float, losing your voice and a victory as the arch-rivals score the final point, taking your second choice to a dance an d having fun anyway, attending six weeks of rehearsals and tediously applying make-up opening night for a five-minute appearance. Events such as these provide vital learning experience unavailable in the classroom. Molly Covert, Al Harris 9 Exhausted and disappointed with second place float, junior Bonnie Belush regains energy dancing the funky chicken to the beat of the U.N.” Chicken wire cuts forgotten, senior Suzanne Roininen ignores chapped hands to ecstatically cheer the news that the senior float placed first. Missed meals, lost sleep 10 reward float-builders with scrapbook memories Rushing through early suppers, car and float rivals for the Homecoming parade hastily performed last minute surgery to meet the 4:30 p.m. deadline. Builders held their breaths as entries were put to the final tests — surviving bumpy railroad tracks and passing judges approval. Unfriendly autumn breezes pierced crowds clustering along curbs to catch a glimpse of participants. A seven-foot jack-in-the-box with an animated devil rewarded the townspeople for their vigil. Pop Goes the Devil, captured first place in the float division for the Class of 1971, giving it the honor for the second consecutive year. Escaping the brisk October air, spectators sought warmth as they huddled near the blazing bonfire. As the flames began to wane, students flocked to the post-bonfire dance and grooved to the music of the U.N. Unlike the soft cumulus clouds, curling black smoke pours from the raging bonfire. As flames rise, so do expectations of a victory. A jack-in-the box manned by Diane Welch, Sonja Bradley and Alan Magiera captured first place for the Class of 1971. 11 May I have this dance? requests Bob Kane of queen candidate, Lorie S elander during the annual Homecoming post-game soc -hop. As the week of anticipation comes to a close, queen candidates Sue Sanders, Kathy Anderson, and Cindy Pickett relax at the dance. Peeking over the railing of the balcony alumni Paula Wynn and Jerry Trezciak scan the gym to spot friends. Sopping wet from the victory swim in the pool, the team and Coach Jim Bartlett rejoice the victory over Lowell Devils. 12 Elated, Teresa Baker hugs Milen Lovich and Creg Rochford as she accepts cape, crown and roses. Homecoming events attract students , alumni, townspeople Like a magnet that attracts common elements, Homecoming drew to the alma mater students, townspeople and alumni for the fall weekend. Separated by miles but not by memories, many hastened to find babysitters while others cut college classes to hurry home for the reunion. Concluding a week of finger-crossing, five queen candidates awaited the half-time coronation. Elated, Teresa Baker accepted the title of 1970 Homecoming Queen. Fans cheered frantically as the clock ticked away the final quarter of the game. Panthers rallied to score a touchdown in the last few seconds and defeated the Lowell Red Devils 18-13. Students and alumni left the illuminated field to absorb the beat of Oscar and the Magestics in the dimly lit gym. 13 Boy Scouts lanis Mang, Julie Cerrity and Cyndee Covert troop to the cafeteria to eat lunch. Toting uniforms necessary for group pictures on Dress-Up Day, Robin Peters finds her hands full. Junior Class members victoriously scream out as they win the pep flag Spirit Week. Sunday best mark Spirit Week activity Striving for gaudiness, students mixed polka dots, plaids, checkers and stripes on Clash Day, the first day of Spirit Week. For the fifth year, Student Council sponsored four days in which Panthers displayed spirit for the game with traditional arch rival Highland. After appearing in Sunday best for group pictures on Dress-up Day, students abandoned this staid and proper apparel for Costume Day. Highlighting the third day were hairy-legged Pantherettes in combat boots and members of the coaching staff, both portrayed by male students. School colors prevailed as fans donned senior cords, letter sweaters, spirit buttons and Panther hats for Black and Gold Day. Enthusiasm displayed during the week and at Friday ' s pep session won the Class of 1972 the pep flag and the Spirit Week Plaque initiated by the Student Council. Wearing costumes to school didn ' t prevent students from completing their routine schedules as is proven by junior, Laura Sherfey. Children ' s delight good enough to eat! Joe Newell and Melanie Holmes dressed as big gingerbread cookies on Kiddie-Costume Day. GAA breaks Recalling to mind the almost forgotten steps of the jitterbug, chaperones Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McCraw join students in one of the fast dances. Trying to overcome the awkwardness of a semi-formal dance, Bruce Konopasek and Diane Idukovich glance around to see how others are acting. 16 midweek monotony with Gay Paree A break in the weekly routine came early with the annual GAA Turnabout Dance, “Gay Paree. Wishing to dodge the time-consuming problem of transforming the gym, and lacking enough funds, GAA moved the affair to Tuesday evening at the Sherwood Ballroom. Switching the day for the dance posed problems for boys and girls alike as they sped from school to meet appointments and pick up flowers. Wine bottles, dripped with colored wax, formed candle light centerpieces on the red checkered tablecloths. Accenting the French atmosphere, Bob Minicks Orchestra provided soft music for dancing. Dates drove to Chicago and Michigan City to dine at The Martinique and The Red Lantern restaurants. Exhausted by the night ' s activities, dance-goers slept late Wednesday morning, the Veteran ' s Day holiday. Saving souvenirs like a wine bottle or a bouquet are as much a part of pre- serving memories as dance pictures. The traditional flowers become a treasured gift for junior Robin Peters as she admires her bouquet from senior Kevin Rivich. juniors Jeff Price and Katie Konopasek are on their best behavior as he stands to help her with her chair before dancing. Conrad sheds sequins Teeny-boppers of Sweet Apple monopolize phone wires as they discuss Kim and Hugo ' s future. Hey, Baby, give me one last kiss! croons Conrad Birdie, Mike Donovan to hysterical female fans. Concluding six weeks of construction, senior Sherrie Girasin finishes the Macafee kitchen. 18 for khaki as teens revive age of rock ' n roll “Oh! One last kiss — give me one last kiss! Over 20 million ardent Ed Sullivan fans tuned in their TV sets to see teenage idol, Conrad Birdie, bestow his final kiss on Kim Macafee in the all-school musical, “Bye Bye Birdie. Hysterical teeny-boppers and flag-waving mothers fainted as Conrad sang You ' ve Got to be Sincere, and One Last Kiss! before venturing into the army. Becoming bobby-soxers of the early 1960 ' s, in six rehearsal weeks, cast members appeared in ponytails, rolled up blue jeans and loafers and danced the steps of the times. For the first time the student stage crew designed the entire scenery for the production, transforming the stage into small-town Sweet Apple, Ohio. Our of their roles as Birdie fans, the actors returned to more modern character at the cast party where they danced to the Woodstock album. Teresa Baker as Kim Macafee, reflects on growing upas Alan Magiera portrays her worried father. Talk to me begs Albert Peterson, Creg Pachnik, of Rosie Alvarez, Jamie Donovan, as she ignores him. Taking time from powdering faces at rehearsal, make-up assistant Chris Huff gulps pizza and a pepsi. 19 Outlawed by the dress code during previous years, long hair and sideburns like senior lym Van Toon ' s now become acceptable. Chokers and dog collars made of suede or beads lend accent to the new necklines. Adopting this fad is senior lanet Knoll. Belted sweater vests and flared-legged pants gained popularity with the males. Sporting these fashion trends is junior Dave Bentley. Midi ' s find place amongst mini ' s , maxi ' s Mini, midi, maxi — sounding more like verb declension than hemline confusion, the current styles provided a smooth length transition from the revealing to the concealing extremes. Boys and girls alike garbed themselves in flare pants, low neck sweater vests and wide collared shirts or blouses. Ties and boots teamed with wire-rimmed glasses to compliment the outfits. Males in school took advantage of the more liberal dress code to grow longer hair or sideburns. Using chokers or dog collars for accents, girls found pant suits fashionable as well as practical. Square toed shoes with high chunky heels and fringed leather purses created the complete look that the pace-setters strove to set. Clad in a tunic-topped pant outfit, junior Barb Masuga models a current fashion, practical for both school and social affairs. Common extremes of midi ' s, suede boots, wire-rimmed specs and flarea pants are shown by Brenda Greenlee and Cindy Petrusic. 21 To escape the winter blahs, sophomores Claudia LaDow and Sandy joyce go on a shopping spree at River Oaks. Undaunted by the winter chill that sends many into hibernation, seniors Dave Covert and Jeff Konopasek find winter sports just as invigorating as summer. Cars filled with hungry fans funnel out of the parking lot in search of post-game pizzas and hamburgers. Sledding, hot chocolate, funky chicken, movies ward off winter slump Boredom — a common problem faced during the February-March lag in activities. With the end of basketball season near, students sought means of recreation to fill the gap before Prom and Graduation time. Adventurous students bundled in coats, boots, gloves and stocking caps to trek up Buck Hill for that short toboggan ride down. Others fumbled in attics to find old skates and took to that milder sport at Central Park. Starving students invaded Pizza Hut by the carload after games and devoured pizzas and quarts of Sprite in a matter of minutes. Couples waited impatiently outside Chicago theaters to see Love Story and Woodstock. When in a more practical mood, they resorted to Creature Features on T. V. and fistfuls of popcorn. Bringing her weekend to a close, junior Debbie Lundie dances the funky chicken at the Sherwood Club. Wolfing a post-game pizza are juniors Harry Paulsen, Julie Cerrity, Bob C illis, N and Laich and Steve Kapitan. Interrupted from hi s preparations for a bath, Tex O’Coco, Chuck Lukmann, guns for action with his trusty six-shooter. Rusty relics from High Sundown aid Piedmont Brothers, Bud Bernath and Randy lames, to re-enact a shoot-out. 24 cinema satire of all-time movie spectaculars Lights! Camera! Action! After two months of designing sets, coordinating dance steps and memorizing lines, the Class of 1971 staged Follies Goes to the Movies. Recalling career highlights, fictional movie producers Pete and Paul Piedmont hosted a sequence of cinemas ranging from cowboy shoot- ' em-outs to space flicks. Memorable actors Clark Gable, Shirley Temple and Charlie Chaplin made cameo appearances portraying characters from their famous films. At early practices, juniors stumbled through steps for Top Hat, High Sundown and Space Idiocy productions, but soon discovered hidden talent for tap, can-can or modern dancing. Give my Regards to Hollywood, sung in the finale, symbolized the Piedmont Brothers farewell to movie making and the juniors ' realization of their efforts. Cimme room! ' ' snaps Teresa Baker, Curly Dimple, to Janet Smith and Corey Vana, flaunting her star position. Rouge assists Sandy Taylor, student make-up director, in transforming Cheryl Grit fee into a 7 940 ' s tap dancer. Ceremonial symbols diverse in meaning to 245 graduates Symbols of traditional graduation ceremony, the cap and gown, the commencement march and the diploma, have varied meanings. The interpretations are as diversified as the 245 graduates. For some, it denoted an end to school routines. For others, it brought to mind memories of The Mouse That Roared, class floats and Fractured Follies. We ' re on the way to tomorrow, on a road called today, graduates found themselves faced with decisions prominent in molding their futures. Graduation gifts ranging from engagement rings to new cars were tokens of the resolutions and responsibilities confronting seniors. With diplomas in hand and their years of studying and high school activities at an end, the realization that the document signified a new beginning was present in each graduate ' s mind. Receiving her diploma, Carol Jones accepts the class flower, yellow rose, from Mr. Howard Besch, senior sponsor. Cold, clammy hands of graduates were eager to receive diplomas but wary to accept responsibilities of a mature adult. 26 Enraged by Henry Higgin ' s thoughtless act of tossing her violets into the mud, flowergirl Eliza Doolittle, Kathy Vajda, curses him. Choir waives region accents, adopt cockney dialect Just you wait, ' Enry ' Iggins, just you wait! With this warning, Eliza Doolittle vowed to discard her cockney dialect and master the King ' s English. Faced with a similar predicament. Concert Choir members abandoned Calumet Region accents to adopt speech patterns of the common and the cultured Londoners for the spring musical, My Fair Lady. Raiding family attics, 55 student actors searched for lorgnettes, top hats and high-buttoned boots for an authentic portrayal. When not hammering nails into a spiral staircase or varnishing sets, cast members sprawled on the floor to do homework. Spring Fever overcame others who restlessly stepped outside between scenes to relax in the grass or escape to the Dairy Queen. Applause thundered throughout the auditorium on both nights as full house audiences gave standing ovations. Pronouncing H ' s correctly causes the flame to flicker, explains Professor Higgins, Kurt Nelson to Eliza Doolittle, Kathy Vajda. Anticipating his wedding in the morning, Alfred Doolittle, Alan Mageria, reminds his friends to get him to the church on time. Town gossip, Mrs. Hopkins, portrayed by Bev Colin, informs townsfolk that Eliza, who has been missing, wants her things sent to Higgins ' . 27 Practicality prevails over Prom tradition Frenzied Friday afternoons spent picking up flowers, meeting hair appointments and shining grimy cars vanished as the 1970 Prom, “Spring Carousel, was switched to Saturday. Cutting, taping and twisting crepe paper became a monotonous task as juniors worked over 35 hours decorating the gym and adjacent lobby. They were rewarded for their tedious labor when arriving couples marveled at a revolving carousel, 32 feet in diameter. Pink, yellow and green streamers formed an artificial canopy above • couples who danced to the music of Bill Thomas and His Orchestra. Dodging a sudden down pour of rain post-Prom goers dashed for their cars to the shelter of the Great Oaks Club House. The Dantes provided the music as couples danced the “Popcorn until four in the morning. An unexpected addition to the weekend after the rain-filled, sleepless night was the warm, sunny weather the following day at the Dunes. ' Home after four hours of dancing at post-prom, Creg Rochford and Eileen Rubacha raid the refrigerator for a midnight snack. Clen Wade and Andrea Korzeniewski fill the short pause between the orchestra ' s songs with quiet conversation. 28 Almost disbelieving her ears at the announcement, .one Selander realizes she is Prom Queen as her court Teresa Baker and Sue Sanders congratulate her. With weeks of planning and organizing behind, the junior class president Bob Kane, the newly crowned king anticipates post-Prom. Under a suspended canopy of crepe paper, Molly Covert and Chuck Vuckovic linger for a last look at the carousel before leaving for Great Oaks. 29 35 workshoppers awake to unfamiliar surroundings; After taking part in mock city, county and state elections. Girl ' s and Boy ' s State representatives Bonnie Bell, Cory Vana, Bob Kane, Molly Govert and Janice Dolson share their experiences with one another. Yearbook staffers reviewing the production chart after planning copy and layout styles at Ball State University are top, Marilyn Peacock, Cheryl Griffee, Shelly Schmal; bottom. Sue Sanders, Bonnie Bell, Bev Colin and Randy James. 32 students form new friendships, gain knowledge Amidst hundreds of strangers, 35 institutors woke in unfamiliar beds on first days at summer workshops. This lonely feeling, coupled with shyness, left as students made new friends and became involved in their work. Trends toward indepth reporting were studied by 10 newspaper and News Bureau staffers while seven yearbookers learned new layout and copy writing techniques at Ball State University. Green thumbs and fingers verified hours spent by three art institutors tie-dyeing. Campus lawns at Muncie and Syracuse served as marching grounds for band workshoppers Sandy Taylor and Eric Kus. New dimensions in cheering were introduced to varsity cheerleaders at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Mock elections illustrated government to Girl ' s and Boy ' s Staters at State universities. Emphasis placed upon organization aided Bud Bernath and Milen Lovich in developing a functional Student Council. Summer workshoppers are top , Student Council President Bud Bernath and Vice President Milen Lovich; center, band members Eric Kus and Sandy Taylor; bottom, art institutors Lorri Christenson and Bonnie Belush.

Mixing gingerbread dough with a spoon is time consuming. The use of an electric mixer makes it a lot easier and gets the job done quicker. Learning to ride a bike with a balancing parental hand to guide you over the bumps helps avoid the falls and scrapes experienced in trying alone. It ' s not easy to maintain a B average to go to college or get a job after graduation. But sometimes you can be helped greatly by someone — a teacher who was enough of a friend to show you how to continue when you were ready to give up or an employer whose awareness of your talents opened ways for success. 35 Cindy jostes Souvenirs , tans, aching muscles, savings, offer Sidelined with a sprained ankle, senior Dave Covert bears the heat and the impatience or not being able to practice. Tracing their European itinerary, seniors Linda Erwin and Dana Christenson compare notes with fellow traveler Jamie Donovan. 36 proof of students ' summer activities Summer — those three magic months that break from school routine. With a more relaxed schedule, students hit the beaches, hunted jobs and attended summer school. To save for cars, clothes and college, students scrubbed pots, created Dairy Queen delights and pumped gas. Growing bank accounts compensated for a not-so-dark tan. Football players braved 95 heat and sore muscles as pre-season practice opened in mid-August. Groggily, driver ' s education students started ignitions at 6 a.m. to practice on nearly deserted streets. Parallel parking and tire changing lost their mystique as students mastered the automobile. Textbooks gained new dimensions while traveling students discovered that learning is not restricted to school. Escaping the heat but not the splashes of senior Paulette Rusk, senior Tyann Sanders seeks relief in a neighbor ' s pool. Temporarily abandoning the prestige of the family car, juniors Kitty Bakken, Debbie Creichunos and joni Hodor take a spin on their bikes. Cadet teaching program, introductory research expand academic scope Besides reading textbooks and taking notes, a school should offer opportunities outside the confines of a classroom where students can take a more active part in their learning. Viewing the classroom from the other side of the desk, cadet teachers experienced uneasiness in first encounters as teachers. The bell rings — the rush is on! Student cafeteria aids met the daily challenge of serving over 400 classmates, clearing trays and washing dishes in only 35 minutes. Students found Introduction to Research an opportunity to explore deeper into their medium of knowledge and skill, be it art, science or language. Taking advantage of warm, breezy May weather teachers often moved classes to the patio for study periods. Its stone benches, flowers, trees and shrubs provided a garden setting for a teachers luncheon and the senior barbeque at the end of the year. Adding chlorine to the filtering system, Mark Swatek, IR student in pool technology brings the chlorine count up to state standards. As an outlet from classrooms, the patio provides a pleasant atmosphere for study hours and school gatherings. 38 Quickly computing prices of hot dogs, chips and cakes for students rushing through shortline, Cindy Wykel changes Eileen Rubacha ' s dollar. After an afternoon of teaching the alphabet, janice Colby bun- dles up the last of her 29 kindergarteners before sending them home. 39 The auditorium, where many classes meet during the day, provides quiet and solitude needed lor junior Nancy Baginski to study. Helping supply dittoed materials for teachers, senior Kathy Witt serves as assistant in the Audio-Visual department. Guidance office offers informative material for college such at the application forms being filled out by senior Bill LaDow 40 Services provide vast quantities of necessary materials Unknown to many students, their first day schedules, mimeographed tests and convocations all result from efforts of the school service personnel. Working closely with students, guidance counselors scheduled classes and introduced financial aid for college. Searches for required reading material ended at the library, which brought in information and enjoyment through books. Eager students grabbed absentee lists printed by A-V equipment to check for friends ' names and puzzled over tests fresh from the A-V department. Others took advantage of auditorium facilities to learn set design, stage management and lighting. Stacking tests ready to be picked up by teachers is one of the services performed by senior Cindy Reno, A. V. assistant. In the stillness of the library, junior Ben Riffle makes use of one of the many books available to students and faculty. Phases of English fill Advertising manager senior Sandie Smith and assistant junior Dave Demske make a list of previous advertisers. As senior Bill Ladow records, sophomore Patsy Matone reads through her part in Flowers for Algernon in Drama. 42 individual needs for all levels of learning Hushed rooms disturbed only by the flipping of pages, lively students discussing Christ symbolism in “Grapes of Wrath and tests over noun clauses all characterized English. To convey ideas in writing, teachers assigned themes and stories which often appeared in ARMAGEDDON. Hated grammar had its value in explaining the structure of the language. Trembles and stammers became less frequent as speech students gained confidence in public speaking. Employing facial and voice expressions to achieve convincing portrayal, drama students became amateur actors, enacting “Flowers for Algernon for the public. After learning basic writing techniques in Journalism I, students applied the skills as staffers on the PANTHER PRESS, REFLECTOR, ARMAGEDDON and NewsBureau. Principal Ben McKay talks with juniors John Algozzini and Creg Calambos while visiting their English class. As part of an English project, an early-American weaving loom was constructed to simulate the loom used by settlers. 43 Students gain awareness of yesterday, Learning to understand the present through study of the past, social science students followed the development of man from the Neanderthal period to present times. In studying past wars and uprisings, students saw man ' s mistakes and related them to life today. History was not confined to the past. Heated discussions concerning communism, cor- ruption in politics and the drug problem were common in newly-formed current events class. While economics students concentrated upon the U.S. economy and federal expenditures, Government students grasped meaning of the Constitution and its amendments. Ink Blot tests and lie detectors used on Psychology students proved man ' s subconscious mind rules his thoughts and actions. Man ' s behavior in groups and his problems with society were explored in detail by Sociology classes. So she can discuss the news intelligently in current events class, junior Sue Parvo finds time to finish reading Newsweek magazine. 44 today , from discussion, Rorschach tests, Newsweek ■. a Rpudebush Seated in a circle, amateur sociologists discuss society ' s varied aspects and problems. By noting change in senior Tim Kobak ' s pulse, senior Bob Kus uses a lie detector to check his honesty. During elections in governm ent senior Kay Fountain brings literature and campaigns (or Roudebush. Shorthand symbols , timed writings aid business students As typing students exchanged the hunt and peck system for a faster and more reliable method, shorthand students translated the English language into a shorter symbol language all their own. Armed with an eraser, typing students faced a maze of jumbled alphabetical letters at the keyboard. Dotted with expected mistakes for amateur typists, finished products were handed in. Specially programmed records dictated business letters to students learning shorthand skills. Bookkeeping practices involved keeping ledgers and balancing accounts for imaginary firms. Business Law classes covered aspects of legal contracts and agreements. As the teacher dictates, senior Lorie Selander rapidly translates words into abbreviated symbols of shorthand. Through use of an adding machine, business students avoid laborious, frustrating calculations on paper. 46 A look into a data processing class reveals students at work studying computers in textbooks. Though handicapped by a cast, senior Janet Smith keeps filing while in clerical procedures class. Typing to the dictaphone, senior Diane Welch responds to spoken rather than written words. Fine arts , language program Creating a display for French, sophomore Doug Brendel ' s bulletin board depicts France as resting on DeCaulle ' s nose. With thick gloves senior Tom Mulligan carefully takes his still-hot pottery from the kiln and checks for cracks. Her photograph close at hand for reference, junior Janet Moorman deliberates over the right shade for her painting. 48 develop creativity , fluent speech in foreign tongues Each striving to attain his own masterpiece, students found a vent for creativity through fine arts. Abstract emotions and ideas took form through medias of clay, acrylics and ceramics. Employing talents in instrumental music, band students marched at football games, performed at concerts and entered regional and state contests. Six parts com- bined producing harmony in Concert Choir. With a “Comment vas-tu? or a “Buenos dias, amigo, first year foreign language students proudly practiced their new tongues. Gesticulating wildly, language teachers tried, by pantomime, to explain phrases to uncomprehending students. As they translated El Cid and Los Romandes, advanced Spanish pupils discovered a world of fascinating literature. When spoken in French, the Pledge of Allegiance required more thought. Intently concentrating on music, senior Janice Dolson practices alto sax part during “ Birdie rehearsal. Before starting his pottery, junior Fred Cales snatches a moment to sketch the kind of earthenware he has in mind. Rows of musical instruments, sounding the same alone, produce beautiful music when combined with contrasting instruments. 49 Through practice , Students find trig , Calculus simplified Math — that all-important subject enabling us to solve for unknowns and calculate. Used daily in every phase of life, math is a framework on which our existence is built. Flat pieces of paper became solid cubes and pyramids when transformed by geometry students. Using logic and theorems to prove angles congruent, students learned that what appears equal may not be. By use of formulas and equations, algebra students solved the unknown x. Discovering the use of pi, they learned to measure diameters and radii. Those planning to be engineers or math teachers attended higher math classes such as trigonometry, calculus and physics. Delving into more sophisticated material, students found basic principles applicable no matter how long or intricate the problem. Finding trigometric tables printed on desks beneficial, senior Carl Mathews employs them during a test. Congested blackboards give evidence of a diligent geometry class when students such as sophomore Betty Watanabe write proofs and theorums. 50 While explaining an equation to her students, Mrs. Vivien McIntyre stops to answer a puzzled student ' s question. Removing the need for scrap paper, slide rules perform calculations for senior Stephen David and classmates. As she helps senior Mike Loomis, Miss Connie DeCeuster, student teacher, gains skill in teaching techniques. I A � � ' • V • « � • .4 I ! Students explore realms Dissecting preserved frogs enables Biology students to explore the different parts of its circulatory system. Pen in hand, Carolyn Barenie intently listens to the instructor ' s lecture on the theory of Physics. Keeping score for a chemistry quiz bowl over electron configurations, junior Mike Smith adds another point to Schmol ' s Smashers team. 52 of science through microscopes, labs, films, lectures Grasshoppers pinned in dissection pans and rainbows of color seen through spectroscopes helped students to apply scientific knowledge in experimentation and dissection. Bunsen burners, compounds and beakers became familiar tools for chemistry students. Struggling to comprehend the periodic table and atomic structure, they performed experiments to observe chemical reactions. To learn the nature and behavior of atoms, students took classes in introductory physical science and physics. Smells of formaldehyde filled the biology rooms on lab days. Starfish, grasshoppers and clams aided the cause of science as students queasily dissected. Learning about mitosis, diffusion and phylums, they began to comprehend the great variety in nature. Peering through the lens of a microscope, sophomore Cliff Clark discovers the world of tiny microbes. Lab partners senior Bub Bernath and junior Conan Pink- staff, work together to complete an electrical experiment. Muscles strained , students exert strength For healthy bodies as well as minds. Physical Education became mandatory for high school students. Combining academics with athletics provided a well-rounded education. Students learned the basics of many popular sports. The proper and safe use of equipment was demonstrated by competent Physical Education instructors before being used by the classes. Written and skill tests measured students ' mental and physical progress and abilities in the area of assigned sports. The rush to get a towel and shower before the bell proved to be the most strenuous task for some. During the swimming program girls faced the decision between attending classes with wet hair or drying their hair with the chance of being late. Red-backed boys emerged from the locker room after a hard game of slaughter ball. With the Gladiator machine and its weights, pulls and slanted benches, boys were able to work out during P.E. class and after school. Demonstrating her skill in P.E., sophomore lean Franz executes a front drop, one of many possible stunts possible on tramp. As part of the training program for boys in P.E., junior terry Norton strives to reach the top of the rope. 54 Boys enter kitchens while girls prepare for marriage, life For better fit, more individualized clothes and a proud feeling of creating something unique, girls practiced sewing talents in clothing classes. Sewing machines seemed less obstinate as students learned to control them. Memories of ripped out seams and crooked zippers faded with a completed dress, pant suit or formal. In an open atmosphere, marriage, budgets and childrearing prompted discussion in Preparation for Adult Living classes. While airing opinions, students gained new understanding of the future awaiting them as adults. The unusual sight of boys setting tables and baking casseroles prevailed during cooking labs. Taking a hopeful taste of the concoction, a relieved sigh or a groan of dismay measured the cook ' s success. Adding to her wardrobe, junior Candy lansen puts the finishing touches on her sewing project in Home Ec. Proudly taking his cake from the oven, senior Mike McClure tastes it, uncertain as to its success. Shop pupils master lathes. Discouragement hovers over junior Bruce Grimmer as jun- ior Lorrie Christenson aids him with a drawing in Drafting. Hard metal cuts easily as juniors Mark Richwalski and Roger Bean use a horizontal milling machine. 56 architect scales, mahogany, components Future mechanics, craftsmen and architects found opportunities to work with engines, walnut wood and blueprints in Vocational Shops. Carefully mapping out blueprints. Drafting students learned to represent three dimensional objects on paper before proceeding to advanced classes. Daily use of drills, wrenches and contour saws prepared Machine Shop pupils for skilled factory work. Designing jewelry boxes, wall clocks and gun racks acquainted students with radial, cutoff and table saws in Wood Shop. Mahogany and cherry wood lost rough texture and form when created into a thing of beauty. Building a tow truck occupied Vocational Auto Shop which met three hours daily. Besides working on old automobile components, students gained experience through repairs on their own and faculty cars. With one gun completed and in the rack, senior Robin Green works on the stock of another in advanced wood shop. 57 ■ Athletics An outlet for pent-up energy and competitive spirit, athletics appeals to both spectators and participators. Elated over victories and dejected by defeats, fans can become completely involved. For the athlete, excellence may bring trophies, medals, ribbons or a college scholarship. Even without the awards or glory of winning, an athlete finds satisfaction just being on the team. Crashing through a tough defensive line, shooting a hole-in-one on the 18th or kicking in the last 200 yards of a two-mile race all give an athlete a thrill of accomplishment.

Presses, zones and plays make up the components of this framework. Inside the players originate the desire and pride that brings basketball alive. Rallying from an 8-12 regular season and 3-4 conference record, the cagers scored sectional victories over Merrillville and Lake Central, only to crumble 75-59 in the finals against Crown Point. Spearheading scoring, Rick Badovinich tallied 466 points for a 20.2 per game average.

The game demands no trick plays, no set offense, no set defense. There are no arms or bodies in the player ' s way. He stands alone in the fairway as he prepares to shoot. Accuracy and concentration are his only adversaries. Although made up solely of returning letter- men, the team was plagued by inconsistency and faltered to a 7-18 record. Even though snow piled high outside, practice started in February with an improvised fairway on the gym stage. By March they braved fickle spring weather, shooting daily rounds of golf on the Sherwood course. Attaining the lowest average throughout the year, Medalist Dave Deedrick and Most Improved Player Greg Underwood led the five-man team. 75 Stickmen undergo gloomy 5-12-2 season; With mud caked spikes and grimaces of pain, weary baseball players trudged off Central Park field after suffering through another rain soaked setback.

As a go-between for fall and spring sports, Intramurals provided boys with a chance to stay in shape and to still have fun. Participants had the opportunity to spend the night relaxing without having to face the rigors of a regular winter sport. Players took over the gym Thursday evenings and left behind girls and studies for their number 1 sport — basketball. Meeting for two hours, the nine teams competed in four games per session with one team acting as referees and scorekeepers. Sponsor, Mr. Wayne Price conducted the November to April schedule.

Breaking estab- lished rules or regulations may result in forfeiting honors or privileges. There are 20 clubs in Griffith High with an average membership of 46, yet clubs can ' t be considered a sum of members who pay dues. Members are replaceable; no individual can dominate an organization or it will not grow. The power it yields to raise enough money to buy Christmas presents for 50 orphans, to put on a musical hit from Broadway or to sponsor 35 dele- gates to summer workshops is much more than what is lost by restrictions. Members become part of a project that alone they could not master. 85 Entertaining at the Student Council sponsored convocation, Mr. Alfred Rage sports African dress while singing and dancing to western contemporary music.

Capturing highlights of seniors ' past years, members used donations of $5 and $10 to pay for paints and other supplies. Spreading season greetings to the citizens of Griffith, club members became window painters for downtown merchants during the Christmas holiday. Adding money to their treasury, this project also enabled students to show their artistic abilities. Studies of such renouned artists as Picasso and Srinwood broadened when Art Club viewed pieces of artwork on their annual trip to the Chicago Art Museum last spring.

Miss Bernice Bennett and Miss Sue Plaster, in their first years coaching at Griffith, shared the responsibilities j of the 92-girl organization. In the early fall, girls dashed from air-conditioned cars to prospective buyers, attempting to sell their chocolate candies before they melted. Profits went towards awards and equipment. Despite all the ummph sophomores Melanie Holmes and Sue Urbanek can muster, the cage ball refuses to clear the net. 99 DECA members get paid for going to school Fitting a customer with 12 different shoes only to find she ' s just looking, taking the responsibility of designing mums for homecoming night or advising an exper- ienced fisherman which lure will snag the biggest trout, Distributive Education Clubs of America members applied the theories of salesmanship they acquired in DE class. Entering a preparatory class in eleventh grade, students received their jobs when they became seniors, attending school until noon, then working. In addition to the training experience and hourly wages received by DECA clerks, employers issued semester grades and credits. Area merchants scheduled interviews set up by Mr. Tom McGraw, DECA sponsor, with applicants interested in that occupation.

Profits from the features added dollars to its scholarship fund which presents two $100 stipends yearly to senior members. When looking into classrooms, visitors frequently confused teachers for students as cadets assumed the responsibilities of teaching. They often learned that the classroom is more than paper grading and playground supervising. Under the leadership of senior Bill Balich, president and Mr. FTA of Indiana, members provided a party for special education classes at Franklin and toured a university for a preview of college life. Clarifying constitutional principles for ninth grader Craig Collet, Mr. FTA of Indiana, Bill Balich instructs civics as a cadet teacher. 101 SPEECH CLUB — back row: Mr. Al Brinson, Bill Blaich, vice president, Craig Webb, second row: Jack Herrell, Jeff Feathergill, president, Laura Thomas, front row: Annette Smith, Barb Boyce, secretary, Anna Schroader. Student talkers receive ribbons, not reprimands Over 35 hours of preparation for a 10-minute speech often ended in an irritating sixth, but the excitement of making finals overshadowed the disappoint- ment of defeat for the speech club. Graded on a scale from one to seven, speech members presented oratories to.three judges with only the top five qualifying for further competition. At the end of the first semester, the new club ' s membership nearly tripled as students brought four ribbons home. Placing second and third in Original Oratory, an 8- to 10-minute speech written by the speaker, Jack Herrell and Woody Wilcox captured the first speech ribbons in the history of the school. Capitalizing on the library ' s diverse facilities, Woody Wilcox uses the reference section to prepare a speech and the privacy of a conference room to practice. 102 ARMAGEDDON, News Bureau round out J-department Providing an outlet for journalism students not involved with the paper or yearbook. News Bureau and ARMAGEDDON kept the community abreast of school news and tapped students for literary and artistic talents. To insure the better reproduction of poems, short-stories and sketches, the art and literary magazine switched from the school ' s duplicating machine to the new offset press. Relying on area newspapers for a play ' s curtain time, the location of a basketball game or a listing of new teachers, most readers were unaware that News Bureau provided this news. Besides composing, typing and copyreading about 30 stories monthly, News Bureau staffers televised two half- hour shows from the Lake Central station.

The weekly paper brought timeliness while a printer change allowed for more current reporting with deadlines switched from Friday to the following Wednesday. Incorporating indepth reporting to meet the needs of an aware student body, reporters went beyond local news to cover Spiro T. Agnew ' s Hoosier visit and Gary ' s Mayor Richard Hatcher. By including part of the subscription fee in the admission, a back-to-school dance proved profitable as 525, over half the student body, subscribed. A weekly paper required a vigorous advertising campaign as staffers strove to attain the goal of $5,000. Photographers, Bernie Renshaw, Creg Calambos and Mike Kuntz provide pictures lor Panther Press and Reflector. Business staffers Debbie Lundie, assistant advertising, Dave Demske, manager, Sandie Smith, advertising, and Larry Cradek, assistant advertising financed the weekly paper.

A baby has personality plus. Expressing himself by crying and cooing, he practices the maxim, Be Yourself. Later, in social relation- ships, constant signals govern freedom of expression. A smile, a frown — there are a hundred subtle clues which show whether a person is getting across. These hints are helpful until he becomes inhibited by what others think. Just as out of trillions of snowflakes, no two have identical design; no two people are exactly alike. It should lift anyone to a new sense of importance among others to know that of all the billions of people, he is an individual.

Contributions of the Junior Class on Costume Day consisted of classmates attired as Teddy Roosevelt, Shirley Temple and a seven-girl Boy Scout patrol. Participation during the week and at the pep session earned the Class of 1972 the Spirit Week Plaque, an award initiated by Student Council. To aid class officers in performing duties and to give more voice to students, juniors inaugurated an Executive Council. With the 15 man board, the class had a goal-breaking magazine drive, successful float project and a November start on its Prom, “Oriental Dream. Neither rainy weather nor gusty winds hampered the Class of 1972 when it trans- formed chicken wire and tissue paper into a giant Panther seated on a golden throne for the Homecoming parade. Planning junior projects are officers Michele Schmal, secretary ; Kevin Campbell, president; Dave McComish, vice president; and jackie Sanders, treasurer.

Hard work combined with plywood produced a float to rival juniors and seniors in its first effort for the annual Homecoming parade. Shy sophomore girls waited for upperclassmen to ask for a dance while male classmates stumbled through their own requests at the bonfire dance. Booster Club inaugurated a tradition of sophomore members sporting beanies to characterize the novices. Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn acquired Calumet accents as sophomores performed “Anne of a Thousand Days in English classes. Sophomore Executive Council collected class dues, profits from concession stand and noon ice cream sales to supply needed funds for next year ' s activities. Heading (he Sophomore Class are class officers Sue Gibson, secretary; Nancy C iomo, treasurer; Dick Chappell, president; and Dan Koci, vice president.

Window signs show the sports shop has longer hours during the hunting season. Attention-getting ads arouse interest in merchandise and in community services. 143 Taking lime out from deadline schedules.

For graduates and underclassmen alike, it meant an end to sharing lockers because your friend ' s was too far from the main hall and having to rummage, through two winter coats, two pairs of boots and both a government and an econ book, snatching bits of conversation between classes, and scrambling across the breezeway only to wait in line for cupcakes and potato chips. For seniors, fighting early-morning-mill traffic or awakening in the strange surroundings of a college dorm may replace viewing the first snowfall through classroom windows along Pine Street and piling into the gym for a pep-session. However, juniors and sophomores will return from summer jobs and vacations to resume these activities. Staff follows tradition , Laughing at new staffers who brought pillows, blankets and food to their first all-night work session . . . running to Thrifty Mart at 2 a.m. for typewriter ribbon only to be told by the manager to drive to an open drugstore in Gary . . . explaining to a photographer why we wanted a picture of a cow or a double-exposure of a muddy football team and a washing machine agitator . . . these memories lodged in the minds of the staff as we reflected over the past year. recalls quandaries Sometimes it became frustrating — having an all- night work session the night before Achievement tests, attending a dance dateless to take pictures, shifting deadline between editors. Even when the going got rough, working under the tradition of producing a good yearbook was the shot-in-the-arm which pulled everyone together. For the backbone that our adviser, Miss Pat Clark, provided through her confidence in the 71 REFLECTOR staff, we give our boundless appreciation. r j TWIT - {■! ir ' 1 i Warming up with hot chocolate, editors Bob Cillis, Bonnie Bell, Randy James, Michele Schmal, Cindy Wykel, Terri Deeter, Bev Colin, Sue Sanders and Janis Mang celebrate the mailing of their last big deadline. 192
