The HIXONIAN has attempted to capture in words and pictures the experiences of HHS stu- dents by freezing . . . the look of joy on the face of a fan ... a moment of sadness in defeat ... an inquisitive glance of an interested student . . . the thrill of discovering a new truth . . . the satisfaction of participation . . . the laughter of students as they scuffled from class to class. May this HIXONIAN help all HHS students and alumni relive the memorable year of 1969- This Was the Wonderful World of ' Culler ' To Mrs. Mary Culler, a teacher who is herself dedi- cated, the 1969 HIXONIAN staff dedicates this year- book. Mrs. Culler spent thirty years at Hicksville High School teaching commercial subjects including: short- hand, typing, bookkeeping, office practice, journalism, general business, business law and commercial arithme- tic. Like all well-rounded individuals, Mrs. Culler de- veloped interests in many fields. When she was not teaching, helping students, or correcting papers, Mrs. Culler was invoh ' ed in a variety of extracurricular activities. She combined her interests of teaching and journalism by super ' ising HIXONIAN work for twenty years. In 1956 she organized the Hicksville Chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America. She became senior class adviser in 1948 and continued in this capacity until her retirement. Mrs. Culler planned the Senior Shows before taking charge of Coronation in 1948. Mrs. Culler stated that she enjoyed working with young people and would miss the association with them after she retired. Because of her work as a teacher and a sponsor, the members of the HIXONIAN staff proudly dedi- cate the 1969 HIXONIAN to Mrs. Mary Culler. Recognition is due to another teacher who also re- tired this year, Mrs. Helen May. She has taught at Hicksville for nine years. In the picture below Mrs. Culler and Mrs. May reminisced past experiences.  TTT Freezing the Moment of the Opening Scenes at HHS . ?-  -T,.. .. -■. -.

Led by the Hicksville High School Marching Band and floats representing grades seven through twelve, Queen Maurine Banks, escorted by Bill Pepple, accompanied by her attendants: senior Jo Ellen Rex, junior Beth Cook, sopho- more Pat Coplin, and freshman Chris Cherry, arrived at the field for die crowning ceremonies. They were escorted by Ron Poper, Steve Koch, Ron Gump, and Jim Yoder respectively. Candi- dates for Queen and her court were nominated by the football team and chosen by vote of the entire student body. A trophy and ten dollars were awarded to the senior class for their first place float while five dollars went to the second place junior float. The contest was sponsored by the Student Council. A large crowd turned out that night to see the Aces defeat Edon 28-0. Following the game the Queen and her court reigned over a dance sponsored by the senior class. It was held in the elementary gym. BELOW; The couples danced to the music of the Organized Confusion from Holgate. II Dino ' s Plaintive Cry for Help Was Answered Not able to restrain himself any longer, Dino tore into Danny when he tauntingly made reference to the fact that Dino was waiting to see the psychiatrist. Come on, come on, the punching bag ' s home, ' shouted Dino as Papa Falcaro angrily slapped him. Having been sent to a reformatory for partici- pating in a murder at the age of 12, Dino had returned home to find an unconcerned mother, an angry father, a defiant brother and un- friendly peers. Having found it difficult to withstand the icy stares and the cutting remarks, Dino tried to show the world that no one could ever hurt him. With the help of the concerned caseworker, Mr. Sheridan, and his first love, Shirley Wallace, Dino returned to the path of understanding — the understanding of both himself and others around him. Eighteen senior members presented Dino, a three-act drama on February 4th and 5th. Dino was directed by Mr. Lynn Roth with the help of production assistants Diane Timbrook and Larry Scranton. Shirley found out about Dino ' s past when Delia itefully said, Dino Falcaro! I ' m surprised at you Shirley. He ' s a real case surpri: -he ' s even got a record. 12 by a Caseworker and His First Love Through the help of Mr. Sheridan, the case worker, Dino slowly came to understand himself. 1 ■ IT. ■■ ■ S B ' B ' w III r.jf |p9i MBfeiU Dino Falcaro Bill Pepple Tony Falcaro Terry Kimpel Shirley Wallace Jo Ellen Rex Jackie Deb Kerr Miss Haines Anne Middleton Mr. Sheridan Bob Yoder Mr. Mandel Mike Cleland Delia Janis Ringenberg Bea Cathy White Sylvia Toni Thiel Pat Vicki Tustison Danny Dave Kaduk Steve Scott Cromwell Mama Falcaro Kris Hook Papa Falcaro Jim Cole Mrs. Mikula Luddy Adams 1st Young Girl Trilby Scott 2nd Young Girl Marsha Fields After u ' eeks of diligent practice the actors seemed to take on a very realistic attitude as reflected in this striking scene.

BELOW: Miss Burgess explained the play which they would present and assigned the roles. As the curtain opened Miss Burgess, trying for the first time to direct a play, cast the roles and encountered the first of many problems when it was found that the play books had been stolen. Adding to the dilemma were stagestruck actors, an irritable janitor, and an unreasonable faculty. But in spite of the many problems the play was a success, the mysterious disappearance of the play books was solved and the actors learned to understand each other as well as themselves. Between acts entertainment was provided by Marie Woodring, who sang a soprano solo and a medley of tunes sung by the junior class quartet which consisted of Beth Cook, Marie Woodring, Wayne Heffelfinger and Dan Rohrs.

Since the paper was a biweekly publication, textbook material was presented the alternating weeks in this new course. Seven students helping to produce the yearbook constituted the Journalism II class. Techniques and principles essential for this area of journalism were explained and applied as the yearbook work continued. Freshman English was a combination of literature, grammar, and spelling. Review of parts of speech and sentence structure was necessary in preparing to write paragraphs and compositions based on the writer ' s experience. Grammar and literature were studied more extensively in English X classes. Students became acquainted with William Shakespeare and learned to write creatively. English XI students associated American literature with corresponding history and applied their reading material to present situations. They also wrote compositions relating to literature themes which had been studied. Grammar was studied according to students ' needs as shown by their written work. Music and pictures set the stage for English XII students in their attempts to develop creative writing abilities. In addition, masters of literature during Anglo-Saxon England, Roman- tic period, Victorian Age, and modern literature were introduced in the college preparatory course. Through panel discussions, dramatic readings, and demonstrations, HHS students learned speech by the simple process of giving speeches. They gained self-confidence and greater ease in expressing their thoughts and feelings effec- tively. Seniors developed their creative writing abilities in English class. Dave Kaduk presented a picture as a writing assignment to Jo Rex. Oral book reports were a must in fresh- man English. Gary Martin and Debbie Barnes were attentive as Joe Beck gave his book report. 32 rlHS English Department Preliminary layouts constituted a major phase of preparing a yearbook. Mary Camp demonstrated the pro- cedure of setting one up as Deb Kerr looked on. William Shakespeare was one of the major figures studied in sophomore literature. Deb Fritz and Rick Miller noted a sketch of the famous Global Theater. Demonstrative speeches were not only informative but also entertaining. Deb Cornelius indicated that she knew the correct way to fingerpaint. 33 Students Become Proficient Linguists Latin I students emphasized basic grammar and word studies. A game of Latin , a form of bingo, and Latin flash cards assisted in this study. English derivatives were stressed in learning vocabulary. Reading selections and illustrations of Roman life compared ancient and modern civilization and emphasized democracy and good citizen- ship. After a quick review of Latin I grammar and vocabulary, Latin II students read a continuing story of two Roman boys that involved customs, education, and family life. Writings of Livy and Ovid formed a background in mythology. A yearly project of Latin notebooks empha- sizing Roman civilization concluded the Latin II year. First year Spanish students spent the first six weeks learning various conversations in everyday context. To develop further speaking ability pupils read stories before translating them. After each chapter students were quizzed oh vocabulary words and new grammar. Spanish II students reviewed tenses of words, use and agreement of nouns and adjectives, numbers and all verbs. With this base they bettered their speaking skills to prepare them for college Spanish and for use in travel. Understandhig various aspects of Roman civilization was a vital part of Latin class. i LOWER RIGHT: Another method of practicing i Spanish words was to listen to records and repeat each word or sentence. Debbie Handy was preparing to use such a record. 34 Use of correct tense and case endings was essential. Paula Whonsetler, Mike Kline, Juleene Tietz, and Tim Switzer de- monstrated this by constructing a sen- tence meaning Cor- nelia gives a toga to her daughter. Lenny Guilford and Steve Metz re-enacted a battle with some model soldiers and primitive weapons. ABOVE: Conversation in textbooks allowed stu- dents to improve their pronunciation. Ann Tustison and Robbie Jones practice conversing with one an- other. BELOW: Study of Spanish culture and customs brightened the course. Suzanne Meyer and Debbie Brown appraised each other ' s costume. Mathematic Courses Built a Foundation of Logic Offering six mathematic courses, Hicksville High School gave students an opportunity for a broad education in the field of mathematics. Freshman students chose between general math and Algebra I. General math included the continuation of the fundamentals of arithmetic and an introduction to algebra. The study of percentages and ratios was applied to the business world and real life problems. Algebra I students developed the concept of equations in problem solving. This course enabled them to build up skills necessary to progress in studies of physics and chemistry. Advanced aleebra allowed students to master fundamental principles. Algebra II pupils developed their thinking power and learned to work in a systematic manner. Axioms, postulates, and theorems became familiar words for geometry students as they followed the thread of logic first proposed by Euclid. Triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles were examined closely and many geometric ideas were related to them. Trigonometry, a one-semester elective, ex- panded students ' knowledge on how indirect measurements wer e encountered. Pupils devel- oped an understanding of the trigonometric relation of general and acute angles and the solution of triangles. To help bridge the gap between mathematics in the senior year of high school and mathematics of the freshman year of college, analytic geometry was offered. This one-semes- ter elective involved the application of algebra to geometric studies and the description of various kinds of lines and curves by means of mathematic equations. Fred Kirby and Nancy Haney applied a theorem to find the size of the angles in the triangle. Drawing graphs was an important part of Algebra I. Sue Thompson and Mary Adams plotted points x and y on a blackboard graph. 36 md Independent Thinking Work at the board gave the teacher an opportunity to check the students ' work. Scott Cromwell and Ken Helsel puzzled over a trigonometry problem. Learning to use the slide rule was a big step in Algebra II problem-solving. Carol Harter demon- strated to Pam Giffhorn how to find the square root of 64. General math was a continuation of basic arithmetic principles learned in grade school. Jon Thiel and Judy Schlosser asked for help from the rest of the class. 37 Complicated equipment challenged the science stu- dents. Cathy White carefully demonstrated the correct procedure to use the analytical balance and PH meter as Marsha Fields, Bill Pepple, and Bob Yoder ob- served. Caution is an important word to remember while in chemistry class. Judy Tuttle and Kris Wittig care- fully used acetone solution in distillation process. Concentration was also important in biology class- work. Deb Fritz and Dave Rowan showed this while they used the muscle fatigue apparatus. 38 Science Challenged Intellect and Imagination In tune with the space age, Hicksville High School offered four years of science to give students an understanding of scientific thinking and to prepare college-bound students. New additions introduced to the science department included a physiology mechanism that measured heartbeat, blood pressure, muscle stimulation, nerve impulse, and respiration. A binocular scope, muscle fatigue apparatus, analytical balance, and a PH meter were also added. General science gave freshmen an overall picture of the physical world. They were introduced to the basic laws of physics, including electricity and magnetism, nuclear physics, chemistry, and communication. Fresh- man science classes split into three groups to work on the bulletin board, a balanced aquarium, and a desert terranium. Fifty students explored the living world of biology. All levels of life, the human body, and Another piece of new equipment, the oscilloscope, was intriguing to Becky Brockelbank as Larry Scranton heredity were studied. Microscopic study of protozoa and bacteria, dissection of pigs, and the use of planaria to study regeneration constituted the year ' s lab work. Fifty chemistry students tackled the complex world of atoms and became masters of the slide rule. Labs allowed the pupils to apply knowledge achieved in class to practical lab situations. Bio-chemistry, a new elective offered to seniors, was an advanced study of genetics and the chemicals that make up living organisms. Students worked with fruitflies to study genetic traits. A trip to Chicago in March to visit the Artronne National Institute and the Museum of Science and Industry highlighted the year. Seniors who chose to take physics worked with mechanical principles and problems deal- ing with machines, Einstein ' s theory of relativity was related to their study. showed her how to turn it on. 39 Social Studies Put Present ABOVE: Seniors correlated TIME magazine with textbook material. Brenda Rohrs concentrated deeply as she read one article. RIGHT: Charts aided ivorld history students in their studies. Jan Carr and Lora Stuckman gazed at a chart illustrating key inventions in the history of mankind. Informal discussions dominated problems of democ- racy class. Participating in such a discussion were Nancy Meek, Trilby Scott, Tim Wort, Jo Rex, Mike Cleland, and Luddy Adams. 40 nto Perspective With Past Students found a fresh approach to ageless material through their studies of American government, geography, and history. Time magazine stimulated students to become informed about current events. Keeping an eye on the November elections, seniors conducted a poll of the town and a mock election among HHS students. American government prepared students ' understandings of the responsibilites of citizenship. American history, a required subject for juniors, was a thorough examination of the fundamentals upon which the United States was founded. Pupils completed their first term papers and studied Civil War battles in detail. Charts, films, and a weekly current affairs paper aided world history students in their study of civilization, from the first recorded history to present development on the international scene. Geography, a one-semester elective for seniors, was a continuation of map and textbook study of the United States and the world. Urban problems, Middle East Crisis, civil rights, the cold war, and other current issues comprised problems of democracy — a new elective offered to seniors. Interviews and a round-table discussion with World War I veterans gave the class firsthand knowledge of the war and some of the men ' s personal experiences. Informal atmosphere of the class gave each student the opportunity to relate his ideas to the class. American history pupils drew parallels between past and contemporary history. Bev Thompson pointed out an interesting item to Jane Barkman, Lewis King, and John Handy. Maps played an important part in senior geography. Sue Stairhime, Toni Thiel, and Jim Cole located a for- eign nation books. with the assistance of their geography 41 Students Studied Human Nature Various tests challenged psychology students ' think- ing ability. Lana Green observed an ink blot test as Jane Barkman pointed out the different objects she saw in the ink blot. Eleven students, five juniors and six seniors, were enrolled in psychology first semester as it entered its second year at Hicksville. Pupils unraveled work puzzles, completed work sheets, and learned vocabulary words pertaining to the field of psychology. Definiti ons of psychology, behavior patterns of people, and methods to become better students were explored to enable students to better understand themselves. Personal problems was offered to the sen- iors first semester. Students participated in panel discussions and did worksheets which stimulated their thinking. Through doing these worksheets and panel discussions, pupils learned of various areas of their lives and discovered ways of becoming responsible young adults. Students also had the opportunity to take sociology, a subject that was offered second semester. This course involved the study of groups of people. Pupils explored man ' s environment, culture, human nature, placement in society, and marriage and family problems. Other areas studied included the problems of government, economic order, and conservation of human resources. Work in sociology class involved panel discussions. Jim Colbart, Mike Cleland, and Ken Helsel were col- lecting their ideas before they presented their panel discu ssion. 42 India ink work was one of the various forms of art Timbrook as they demonstrated the correct way to use work. Richard Farlee observed Dave Kimpel and Ron ink pens. Students Gained Artistic Skills Beginning the 1968-1969 school year first- year students explored the many different facets of art. Design fundamentals and introductions to color were studied. With this background they later chose several media with which to work. For some variety India ink work was offered. From this phase of art, students moved into drawing and water colors, eventually leading to oil painting. A ceramics program that included pottery and glazing was also a part of the art department. Serigraphy and other areas in graphics were introduced. Junior high boys briefly worked on lettering and posters first semester. They then discovered a few basics of design and color. Using these fundamentals they sketched 1970 autos in perspective. Having the same introduction as the boys, seventh grade girls worked on fashion designs. Although this was only the second year of art at Hicksville, the department is growing rapidly. Thirty-six students were enrolled in this course. Careful planning was essential for preparation of a lesson. Ed Roan assisted Dave Kadur as he drew a preliminary sketch. 43 Commerce Built Basic Skills Production typiii constituted a major part of Typ- ing II classes.

Dianne Brickel, Diane Keeping the library in order was important for li- brary science students. Cheryl Langham and Dawn Wonderly classified and numbered a book before put- ting it on a shelf. An important piece of office equipment used in of- fice practice was the duplicating machine. Kris Hook prepared to duplicate more papers as Vic Tustison proofread some of the final copy. 44 and Business Competency Stenoscript, personal typing, and library science were added to the HHS business curriculum this year. A shorthand with letters rather than symbols, stenoscript provided sixteen pupils with a unique system of note taking. After learning seven basic lessons, speed and transcription were stressed. Personal typing equipped sixteen students with basic knowledge of the typewriter. Library science acquainted nineteen students with practical skills used in library work such as using card catalogues, the Dewey Decimal system, and various reference books. First-year typing students developed skills which will help them in their business careers or personal use. Typing II pupils improved speed, accuracy, and quality of their work by considerable practice. After learning principles of Shorthand I, students concentrated on spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. Advanced shorthand pupils improved the mailability of their letters and speed in transcription. Clerical records was a general course in record keeping, involving the checkbook, statements, receipts, and payment forms. After bookkeeping pupils learned seven steps of the bookkeeping cycle, they worked on individual jobs which made up each step of this cycle. Office practice involved textbooks and a round-robin schedule which introduced each student to typing, filing, and office machines. Business law students acquired a general background in law as it applies to contracts, insurance, and commercial papers. General business pupils learned to succeed in the business world in relation to buying, banking, and credit insurance. Consumer economics prepared students with information of production, distribution, and consumption of wealth, through studying budgets, life insurances, and sources of con- sumer credit. Business English students learned to face business problems and procedures through conversations and writing letters. Workbooks supplemented clerical records class. Jim Turnbull and Cindy MacDonald had just completed an entry. Timings challenged stenoscript pupils. Here Jo Rex dictated a letter to Lianna Quick as she raced against the stop watch. 45 Home Economics Offered to Eighth Grade Girls Following recipes carefully was a major step in preparing a meal. C a r 1 a Wort watched as Shari Meek and Wanda Fields mixed a batter. Embroidery work was just one phase of sewing. Pat Baumgardner chose her floss colors while Judy Fogle and Mitzi Harter finished their embroidery designs. Recipes, sewing machines, and patterns familiarized eighth grade girls with the prepara- tion of meals and the construction of simple garments. This ye ar was the first time eighth grade girls were required to take Home Economics. Home Economics I, an elective for ninth grade girls, offered a chance for girls to learn good grooming habits. Values and preparation of foods and the basics of sewing machines and patterns were also stressed. Other areas of study included room arrangements, color schemes for home furnishings, and baby-sitting. Sophomore girls taking Home Economics II focused their attention on personal growth and development, preparation and serving of nutriti- ous meals, selection and care of fabrics, construction of three garments, and care for older children in nursery school groups. Personal development was stressed in Home Economics IV, a course open to junior and senior girls. Attention was given to personal adjustment to marriage and family living, child care and development, and home management. Home Economics IV offered a study of child care and development. Colleen Brown held the baby as Rose Brown tested the milk for the right temperature. Teamxvork proved to be important in class projerts. Phil Cress listened as Glenn Barkman consulted Bob Larson. Industrial Arts Developed Vocational Abilities Eighth grade boys were able to take Industrial Arts for the first time. They discovered the fundamentals of three dimensional drawings, scale drawings, and working drawings for their projects. This course prepared them for first year Industrial Arts. Industrial Arts I boys put their knowledge to practical use. For their first woodworking project the boys worked on drawings for building birdhouses. They then worked on individual projects. Industrial Arts II and III were combined this year to form one class of juniors and sophomores. These boys probed the intricacies of woodworking, electricity, and welding. Industrial Arts IV offered senior boys the chance to be individualistic. Seven completed automotive projects, three each made wood projects and metal works projects, and one worked in electronics. Industrial Arts facilities were greatly improved. Alan McFeters appraised their handiwork. Richard Carpenter, Derrill Killian, Bill Cleland and 47 Students Acquired Physical Fitness and Skills Physical education courses were aimed toward physically fit students. Those in grades seven through ten were required to take this non-academic subject. A physical fitness test was given to the boys in order to determine their strong and weak points. They developed co-ordination by tum- bling and gymnastics. Spring board, trampoline, and parallel bar were some of the equipment used. Rules were stressed in team sports such as volleyball, basketball, speedball, track, and Softball. Rules were also emphasized in individual sports like tennis, archery, golf, and weight lifting. Girls also participated in tennis, speedball, volleyball, folk dancing, and basketball. Individ- ual improvement was centered around tumbling, gymnastics, and track. Archery was offered for the first time. Every six weeks the girls took a written exam to test their knowledge acquired during that grading period. Also, a skill achievement test challenged the girls ' abilities. UPPER LEFT: Square dancing helped students de- velop a sense of timing and co-ordination. FRONT COUPLE: Susan Hayes, Allen Banks.

Barry Conley checked Jim Mullens ' pulse rate against his watch. Safety First Applied Behind Wheel; Human Body Studied Current health problems were prevalent topics in freshman health classes. Attention was focused upon three subjects — smoking, alcohol, and sex education. Students learned to adminis- ter first aid in common emergencies. Films, filmstrips, and pamphlets from the public health department supplemented the pupils ' texts to acquire more learning of human body functions and disorders and mental health. Drivers ' training, a one-semester elective, was open to any l6-year old. Students were required to have a temporary driving permit and to spend 30 hours in the classroom and 7 hours behind the wheel. Pupils developed skills by driving through town and in the country. Each person built up an attitude of responsibility for his own safety and that of others. Student drivers learned that checking oil is import- ant to keep the car in good condition. Rosemary Gar- man, Betty Garman and Wanda Fields watched as Larry Keeley demonstrated the correct procedure to use the dipstick. 49 ORGANIZATIONS Freezing the satisfaction of partici- pation . . . blare of brass . . new band uniforms . . . echo of voices . . . election of officers . . . last minute plans for club meetings . . . sharp rap of a gavel . . . identification by pins and cards . . . arrangements for dances . . . dress rehearsals companionship . . . state and district contests . . . banquets for rewards This was the extracurriailar world of HHS.

Varsity Cheerleaders . . . Deb Cornelius, Jo Rex, Becky Brockelbank, Marie Coplin, and Deb Kerr. Deb, Jo, Becky, Marie, and Deb Led HHS Spirit Three senior and two junior girls led Yell Club members and Aces fans throughout the football and basketball seasons. The varsity attended Smith- Walbridge Cheerleading Camp at Syracuse, Indiana to gain new ideas for cheers, songs, chants, skits, and pep sessions. To kick off the 1968 HHS football season a snake dance and pep rally were held at the football field followed by a victory dance at the tennis courts. The initiation of a new spirit stick increased competition between the six grades at weekly pep sessions. The sale of Homecoming mums and another dance later in the year concluded the cheerleaders ' activities. Deb Kerr and Jo Rex assumed co-captain responsibilities for the year. The varsity was sponsored by Mrs. Jean Siler. Another two points for the Aces ! A tense moment was expressed by the cheerleaders. 87 Cheerleaders Created Unity at Games Nineteen underclass girls made up the reserve, freshman and junior high cheerleading squads. In addition to participating in weekly games and pep sessions, reserve members were responsible for distributing spirit — posting signs in the high school lobby. This group also took part in the snake dance and bonfire. The freshman and junior high squads maintained two coat checks at each high school basketball home game along with assisting in handing out programs at the football games. All cheerleaders were under the leadership of Mrs. Jean Siler. UPPER LEFT: Reserve squad ... Pat Coplin, Lora Stuckman, Jane Wonderly, Beth Cook. BELOW: Freshman squad . . .

The Aces ' squad finished fifth in the Green Meadows Confer- ence with a mediocre record but did well con- sidering the fact that out of the dozen boys only two were lettermen.

Hours, of planning pages, writing and rewrit- ing copy, cropping pictures, and proofreading finished material have come to an end. Things got hectic at times when w€ rushed madly to meet deadlines. Pages were lost, copy was un- finished, and pictures were misplaced. But now our goal has been reached; we have produced a pictorial record of the 1969 school year. However, we, the staff members, were not en- tirely responsible for the publication of the 1969 HIXONIAN. We wish to express our appreci- ation and gratitude to all who have helped to make this yearbook complete. We especially wish to thank our dedicated ad- viser, Mrs. Mary Culler; Bob Abraham and Powell Studios for the excellent pictures; Jerry Barber and Matt McCormack of Taylor Publish- ing Company for their expert advice; Becky Brockelbank for her fine art work; Larry Scran- ton and Stan Stuckey, student photographers; the administration and faculty for their cooperation; and the advertisers whose support has made the publication of our yearbook possible.

These moments have been forever frozen in the 1969 HIXONIAN so that this important part of our lives shall never be forgotten. Ml -ks i:,.
