' Published by Journalism Students of Highland High School Highland, Indiana Volume Seven Opening Section 4 Organizations 56 Personalities 92 Biggest town in the entire state- that’s Highland, Indiana. Captured by the rush to the suburbs, Highland’s population is growing by leaps and bounds. Houses pop up like mush- rooms, streets trickle in with the smell of new pavement and the shout s of children are magnified with the fan- tastic growth. About 450 new students crowd into the public schools, requir- ing 15 additional classrooms as the fall semester opens. As the door of Highland Senior High School opens for the eighth year, one out of two students enters for the first time-the communities growth has left it’s mark. The enrollment, which was up 10 percent, entered into a smell of paint, sound of banging, and a feeling of crowdness, which the $600, 000 addition brought. December 15, 1964, had not proven to be an early enough start to complete the approxi- mate 1,500 square feet of cafeteria, 2,100 square feet of shop, and 12,500 square feet of classrooms. The community, the high school, and the very people have modernized and expanded to become today’s leaders. However, todays soon turn into yester- days ... the eyes of Highland turn toward GROWTH-THE SUCCESS OF THE FUTURE. Highland Senior High • . • I New business , shop and cafeteria additions provide room for growing school Witnessing the realization of a dream, students and faculty eagerly observed the completion of two spa- cious new additions to the high school. Intently watching skeletal structures gradually become architectural realities, all anxiously awaited the day when they would no longer have to pack like sardines into crowded rooms, and at- tend cramped classes in the gym, cafe- teria, and teachers’ lounge. Hampered at the first of the school year by the carpenters’ strike, it seemed as if the construction would never be finished. November, 1965, however, marked the move of desig- nated departments into the newly com- pleted classrooms. Modern wood and metal shops and an auto mechanics shop were con- tained in one wing, along with a fully- equipped art room. Also in this section was an expansive journalism room, complete with offices for the individual editors of each major publication. The business department occu- pied the other new wing. Nine new rooms provided better facilities to aid students in mastering commercial courses. Hammers, nails, wood, and various other remnants of construc- tion clutter the halls of the new business wing during erection The addition was built to accommodate more courses. Books line the window sills of the Highland High School library which faces the senior court. Its large collection of books, cover- ing a variety of subjects, serve the student body and faculty. Stairs were an innovation this year with the new addition. 4 Opening Section The rubble and confusion of the new addition, (LEFT) com- plete with semi-exposed pipes and paint cans, was transformed into a modern addition (RIGHT) after months of construction. One of the many innovations that accompanied the extension of the cafeteria was the addition of a second serving line. Such ad- vancement is typical of the continuing progress at Highland. Greeting incoming students during the Christmas season, a mosaic window painting, created by an outstanding art student, added color to the entrance of Highland High. Rosemary Regnier, Larry Francini, Anne Sharp, Len Sporman, Judy Rost, Dobie Killam, Maryann Queer, Bill Boyd, Linda Larrabee, Gary Studer, Penny Price, and Rick Gaston assemble on the football field after the big moment of the evening, the coronation of the 1965 Homecoming Queen. Accepting warm congratulations from her attendants and their escorts, Maryann Queer was presented with the royal tiara and bouquet of red roses. Excitement reaches climatic peak as parade begins festivities An over-sized piggy bank adorned the Class of ’67’s successful Home- coming float entry. “Dey Ain’t Wirt Nut’n.” which received third place honors for the hopeful and anticipation-filled juniors. Satisfied seniors watched with fond tenderness as the product of their Homecoming labor, the first prize winning float, was tossed into the blazing bonfire. Sitting triumphantly atop the Senior float, “Layin’ for Victory ,” was a mammoth chicken which cap- tured first place for the Class of ’66 in a last attempt. 6 Opening Section for homecoming The roll of drums and a shrill blast of the drum major’s whistle sig- naled the start of the long-awaited pa- rade. Highland’s marching band led the way as unique and inventive floats of all descriptions fell into line. Each one represented days of exuberant and eager cooperation on the part of the club or class entering it. Spectators of all ages lined High- way and Kennedy Avenues as the pa- rade made its way to the high school. Upon its arrival, anticipation mounted as everyone awaited the announcement of the winning floats. Elated seniors rejoiced as their float, “Layin’ for Victory,” took first prize. Key Club’s entry, “Keying for Football,” won second prize, while “Dey Ain’t Wirt Nut’n” captured third place honors for the juniors. Following the presentation of trophies, the crowd gathered around a blazing bonfire, while cheerleaders aroused spirit and enthusiasm for the important game that was to follow. Everyone then proceeded to the field with high hopes for victory. Sull finding it hard to believe, a sparkling Maryann Queer, accom panied by proud es- cort Bill Boyd, expresses her intense joy aft- er being announced Highland’s 1965 Home- coming Queen. Pursued closely by several Wirt players, Roger Silsby (44) dashes fiercely forward with the ball, gaining much needed valuable yardage for the fighting Trojan squad, whose energetic and untiring efforts failed to hold back the Troopers. Driven by the ardor and burning desire to win, senior Gary Allen escapes the clutching grasp of a fallen Wirt player. The Trojans, fervently hoping for victory, employed all their drive, energy and earnest determi- nation, but their carefully planned strategy and valiant efforts were not successful. 8 Opening Section Trojans strive to win , backed by cheerleaders as students participate in homecoming festivities Cheering fans, spirited cheer- leaders, and a determined team set the pace for Highland’s Homecoming en- counter with Gary Wirt. The thrill of kick-off instilled a feeling of anticipation in the heart of every Trojan booster. With untiring persistence the crowd backed the team, proving that “win or lose we’ll cheer you” weren’t just meaningless words. Despite the ef- forts of every player, halftime found the Trojans scoreless. Suspense was at its peak as all attention was focused on the queen can- didates. A moment of hushed silence fell upon the crowd — then a burst of applause as Maryann Queer was an- nounced 1965 Homecoming Queen. Congratulations were bestowed upon an unbelieving but radiant Maryann as she majestically began her reign. The second half brought a de- termined Highland team onto the field. Displaying strong fortitude, the Trojans battled the opponent with undying en- ergy, but their undaunted attempts failed. Gathering around the coaches for some last minute instruction Line c oach Randy Sheets and backfield before the big kick-off moment, the Trojans confidently prepare coach Donn Kaupke bolster Trojan spirit to carry out plans for a Homecoming victory over Gary Wirt, out on the field, while the rest of the team hopefully eyes the action. Opening Section 9 Soc- hops, formal and semi-formal dances highlight the 1966 social Dancing to the rhythmic beat of the music of the Kritters, couples attending the Key Club Sweetheart Dance enjoy a night of gay festivity in the oriental atmosphere of “Jade East.” Beaming radiantly, seniors Karen Eldredge and Judy Rost proudly display their trophies after being announced first runner-up and Highland’s Junior Miss in the Jaycee sponsored pageant. 10 Opening Section Highlighting the ’66 social ac- tivity scene, dances served as a change of pace from daily routine. Ranging from casual soc-hops after football or basketball games to formal and semi- formal affairs, dances were the place to “let off steam” and try the latest steps. Climaxing the football season, the traditional Mr. Football dance was presented by the sophomore class. Sen- ior Dan Arrington was voted to reign as 1966 Mr. Football, the fourth grid- man to receive the honor. “Fireside Fantasy” was the theme of the winter formal, sponsored by Highland’s Teen Town. Playing against a realistic fireplace background, Oscar and the Majesties provided en- tertainment. As in previous years, girls followed tradition by extending invita- tions to the boys. Couples attending the Key Club Sweetheart Dance entered the orien- tal atmosphere of “Jade East.” Decora- tions for the semi-formal event were carried out in the Chinese mood, com- plete with a Buddha shrine and kimo- no-clad girls serving refreshments. Guests danced to the music of The Kritters while suspense mounted as the queen candidates assembled on the stage. A moment of silence gave way to a burst of applause as Carole Sumner was crowned Sweetheart. activity scene while serving as change of pace from daily routine Sally Hendrickson and Barb Mayhem wait to bestow congratulations on Sweetheart Queen Carole Sumner as she accepts her bouquet of roses from Key Club president Jim Susorney. Members of the Sweetheart Queen’s court Pam Lenz, Cheri Rudy, Sally Hendrickson, Barb Mayhew, and Betsy Ceaser take time out from their dancing to smilingly assemble as a group. Mr. Football, Dan Arrington, accepts a congratulatory kiss from Homecoming Queen Maryann Queer. Opening Section II Typifying the popular, long, straight-hair look, senior Donna Rohr- man and sophomore Linda Steen pause for a moment between classes to run a comb through their shining tresses. I Students set pace in latest fashion crazes through penny loafers and bench warmers Junior F.die Jaynes models her matching sweater and stockings which make up the fashion-right ‘‘total look.” From conservative bench warm- er coats to penny loafers to plaid legs, style-conscious Highland High students adopted the unique fashions and fads of ’66. Guys and girls were seen in the halls, in classes, and at sports activities setting the pace in the latest fashion craze. Perhaps a bit shocking at first, textured hose and crazy-patterned stockings soon became a common sight. A glance at the legs around school re- vealed polka dots, lacy mesh, abstract designs, and undefinable patterns. Also in vogue, argyle knee socks took their place in the up-to-date wardrobe. Featuring matching stockings and sweaters and carefully coordinated accessories, the “total look” created a stir with the girls. With every detail combined to create a striking ensemble appearance, the popular new idea be- came the “in” look for school and cas- ual wear. Hairstyles varied from the short gamin-type hairdo to the more imitated long, straight, free-swinging locks. Girls with naturally curly hair envied the fortunate straight-haired girls who could easily adopt the desired uncurly look. Accenting the fashion picture, symbolic charm bracelets jangled from the wrists of almost every sophomore, junior, and senior girl. Pendant watches created jewelry interest, as did increas- ingly popular pierced earrings. Shoe trends were dominated by versatile loafers. Penny slit and moc- casin type loafers were worn by guys and girls alike. Girls favored matching shoulder bags in which to tote their various vital necessities. All descriptions of sweaters were worn by fashion-conscious students. Ribbed poor boy sweaters, big, bulky ski sweaters, delicately embroidered im- ported sweaters, and sleeveless shells were just a few of the varied styles to be observed. Boys also kept alert on the fash- ion scene. The well-dressed guy could be seen attired in casual sweaters, cor- duroy pants, and loafers. Cuffs and belts returned to slacks. Shirts in pais- ley prints and madras were also in- cluded in stylish male wardrobes. Alert Highland High students displayed a keen interest in the ever- changing current styles and fads as they easily and confidently kept in step with the ’66 fashion picture. 12 Opening Section Polka dots, diamonds, paisley swirls, lacy patterns, and abstract designs could be seen cover- ing stylish legs all over school. Zany stockings pr evailed and the plain, natural leg became a rare sight as girls sported wild patterns to keep in step with the latest rage. Leaving for home after a routine day of classes, Cheri Murphy and Frank Katona admire each others’ bench warmer coats. Shoe styles turned toward the casual and comfortable as penny loafers began to ap- pear on the fashion scene. Highland girls keep in step with the ’66 fashion scene as they rely on roomy shoulder bags to stylishly tote their many belongings and accent the well-dressed look of the day. Discussing current fashion trends, junior Frida Nelson and senior Dale Dudzik serve as typical examples of well-dressed Highland High students in their stylish sweaters. Prom captivates all as juniors uncover their accomplishment With eager anticipation and spirit, the juniors worked together to produce the 1965 Prom. Seemingly end- less hours of labor resulted in the trans- formation of the gym into an atmos- phere of “Celestial Enchantment.” When prom night arrived, a weary, but proud Class of ’66 presented their creation. Attending couples danced to the music of Hal Morris and his orchestra. Highlighting the evening was the coronation of the king and queen. Rick Gaston and Debbie Pasquinelli began their reign as they led the Grand March. As each couple reluctantly de- parted, they carried away memories of a night never to be forgotten. Pausing for a few moments of relaxation, Charles Law and Sandy Parkis enjoy the quiet solitude of the garden. Rick Gaston and Debbie Pasquinelli smile radiantly after being crowned King and Queen. Climaxing the Prom, the royal couple began their reign over an evening of “Celestial Enchantment. Regally accepting her crown, Queen Debbie is congratulated by John Gaston, Margie Haburay and newly crowned King Rick. 14 Opening Section Upon their arrival, David Floyd and Lanette Phillips cross the bridge that will lead them into a world of magical enchantment. Following the Grand March, couples lock hands to form the traditional archway in honor of the newly crowned King and Queen. Opening Section 15 December play-goers stared in amazement at the sight of once-famil- iar personalities transformed into gray- haired, wrinkled, old spinsters. Open- ing night, December 21, marked the climax of weeks of work. Drama Club members breathed a sigh of satisfac- tion as the curtain rose on the three- act presentation of “Ladies in Retire- ment” and they were able to view and pass judgment on the results of their labor. Behind the scenes, dozens of vi- tal tasks necessary to a successful pro- duction were performed. Spending many long hours as prompters, design- ing and sewing costumes, painting flats, and selling tickets, backstage workers devoted time and energy to creating a polished and professional-looking whole. Spirited cheers for the hero and boos for the villain echoed throughout the gym during the February perform- ance of the melodrama, “Her Fatal Beauty; or A Shopgirl’s Honor.” Mem- bers of the debate and discussion classes combined their talents to present the hilarious one-act play to an enthusiastic activity period audience. Prop girl Sandi Tumbas cheerfully and vigorously invites the au- dience to vocally participate in the melodrama, “ Her Fatal Beauty; or, A Shopgirl’s Honor” as hero Dave Danda enters the scene. Alexa Smith as the scheming Ellen Creed silently creeps up behind her victim, Leonora Fiske, played by Marilyn Bacon. Weapon in hand, she is intent on murdering the unknowing Leonora. Industrious students put forth abundant effort, talent to produce Sister Theresa, as portrayed by June Nelson, enters the Fiske household on an errand to buy oil, and stops for a moment to warm herself by the fire and report news from the town. Sue Kuric, as the mentally unstable Louisa Creed, takes a solemn oath upon the Bible at the insistence of her sister Ellen that she will never reveal the condemning facts she has just learned. professional- looking Drama Club play , audience-pleasing melodrama -vv Preparing to leave and accept her punish ment, Ellen tries to explain to the feeble- minded Emily her reasons for going. Sue Kuric and Carole Sumner, as the child- like Creed sisters, listen in mild shock as Mrs. Fiske reproaches them. Opening Section 17 Addressing the graduating class, president Pat Lowery expresses anticipation for the future. Varied expressions portray the mixed emotions of the Class of ’65 on the final night of their high school career. Knowledge comes , but wisdom lingers expresses the spirit of graduating seniors How very quickly that last year had rushed past. All too soon, gradua- tion had arrived for the seniors, climax- ing the end of their high school career. Fond memories of an activity-filled four years were vividly recalled as the Class of ’65 gathered together for the last, official time. Even the most animated faces became sober as the significance of the occasion was realized. Ambitious and eager to meet the future, yet hesitant to give up the past, the seniors approached a new phase of life. Entering upon the threshold of adulthood, each contemplated the chal- lenge that lay ahead. Pensive, satisfied, Lon P. Monbeck bestows the congratulatory handshake upon one graduate. tearful, smiling, and anxious expressions depicted the varied emotions of the alumni-to-be. Proud parents and congratulating friends watch with esteem as the seniors entered the gym and took their seats. Intent concentration was apparent on every face as speeches were delivered and addresses given. As each graduate stepped forward to receive his diploma, he felt a surge of pride. The final goal had been reached. Students no longer, the new alumni would now enter the adult world. They would seek individual op- portunities and develop skills. Opening Section 19 June Nelson, Cheryl Buser, Pam Mucha, Karen Schuyler, Sara Vaughn, Dolores Mut- ke (BOTTOM ROW), and Marilyn Bacon, Sarah Munier, Judy Hmurovic, Sandy Bud- zinski, Pam Moffett, Sue Gilbert, and Sue Wood fill (TOP ROW), traveled to Kent and Athens Ohio to attend journalism work- shops. June spent two weeks at Kent Uni- versity studying various newspaper funda- mentals and exchanging ideas, while the rest of the girls participated in a week-long program of numerous activities at Ohio University, including yearbook and news- paper classes, general assemblies, and rec- reation. Ward Cunningham, Jan Strange, Linda Larrabee. Betsy Ceaser, and Karen Eldredge attended journalism institutes at Indiana University. Ward learned new photography techniques, while Betsy studied every phase of newspaper work. SHIELD representatives, Jan, Linda, and Karen avidly took part in a two-week seminar studying yearbook basics. Highland High’s delegates to Girls’ and Boys’ State Debbie Kleinwachter, Susan Zatku- lak, Linda Sandrick, Rick Schumacher, Bob Underwood, and George Rabatin partici- pated in the two one-week summer institutes at Indiana University gaining valuable of Indiana government pro- cedures. 20 Opening Section Seniors Dan Eaton, Jan Strange, and Carolyn Madura, winners of the junior essay contest, discuss the highlights of their trip to Washington D.C. on a Council of World Affairs tour. Institutors gain experience through active participation Frida Nelson spent one week at Indiana University learning practical information about student council procedures. Also visiting I.U. was Nancy Nosker, who attended the summer library in- stitute. Alexa Smith studied drama during a three-week workshop at Purdue University. Eager to discover new ideas, Kay Nelson, Cheryl Walker, and Sally Hendrickson actively participated in lively yearbook and newspaper sessions at Michigan State University. Learning through participation, Highland High’s ’65 summer institutors gained valuable experience and knowl- edge in their particular fields of interest at various summer workshops. Provid- ing an opportunity to exchange ideas with students from many different schools, these encouraged the free use of imagination, as well as furnishing basic information necessary to spark creative thinking. Boasting the largest number of institutors again this year was the jour- nalism department. SHIELD and TRO- JAN AL representatives traveled to In- diana University, Ohio University, Kent University, and Michigan State Univer- sity to take part in yearbook and news- paper seminars. Six juniors, chosen for their in- terest in history and government, at- tended Girls’ State and Boys’ State at Indiana University. Mock state govern- ments allowed them to more thoroughly understand the workings of Indiana government. Winners of the junior essay con- test visited Washington D.C. on a Coun- cil of World Affairs tour. The three stu- dents broadened their scope in under- standing world problems by visiting the U.N. and Russian Embassy. Highland students also attended a student council seminar at Indiana University, a librarian’s session at I.U., and a drama workshop at Purdue. Opening Section 21 “One . . . two . . . three ...” is the refrain echoed throughout the gymnasium by students in physical education classes as they go through a carefully planned series of exercises. Such daily calisthenics are specifically designed to insure the physical fitness of each student. Youth fitness strengthened through With excited squeals, P.E. students go through their paces. Physical education students shoot for two during a spirited game sports participation Rhythmic cries of “one-two, one- two” can be heard faintly in the hall as students in physical education classes keep the beat of rigorous calisthenics in unison. Working to build strong, healthy bodies, they strive to increase the natural vitality and stamina so necessary and typical of youth. In answer to the growing em- phasis on physical fitness, required gym classes provide the opportunity for stu- dents to keep themselves bodily sound. Strenuous exercise combined with the stimulating experience of rousing team rivalry serve this purpose. Many team sports whet keen competitive spirit. Indoor play includes volleyball, cageball, and basket- ball. Stirring games of baseball are en- joyed in warmer weather. Individual skills are measured and developed in various other types of physical activity. Instruction in proper trampoline meth- ods, tumbling, and gymnastics all pro- vide personal satisfaction. Interrupting the daily schedule of athletics is the fine art of dancing. Students are taught rudiments of the dance steps, while at the same time they are developing dexterity and agil- ity, important factors in reaching com- plete physical fitness. Through gym classes, students learn to heed the con- stant need for this body maintenance. Speech , debate, drama, and discussion round out Highland’s growing curriculum Senior Maryann Queer exhibits the finer points of public speaking as she confidently explains one of the more confusing aspects of her speech to inform. Communication and student ex- pression finds fundamental fulfillment in Highland speech and debate classes. Enthusiastic and convincing pupils are always to be found in both classes of study. Stimulation by experienced teachers send many interested alumni into related fields of study after gradu- ation from Highland High. Golf clubs and guitars often find their way to the classrooms during dem- onstration periods. Yet, the most exact- ing operations of a typical speech class is the difficult impromptu speech. This demanding speech never fails to throw many an unsuspecting scholar into a dire state of disarrangement. Future actors, politicians, and ordinary citizens find that learning correct public speak- ing benefits their entire life. After students have mastered these major methods of approach, they move on to debate and drama. The- ater arts include not only actual acting, but also props, makeup, and costumes. Debaters try to sway other classmates by the use of opening speeches, cross- examinations, and rebuttals. Frequent trips to the library for reference material are made by the dedicated debate students. Magazines are feverishly scoured for contributing information concerning one specific as- signed thesis. Not a relating encyclo- pedia or book is overlooked in the com- prehensive pursuit of relevent facts and persuasive statistics. Speech and debate classmates join in with other interested regional school pupils in Highland’s Invitational Speech Conference. Revolutionary and classical literature and poetry are em- ployed by many of these adept chal- lengers. School plays are partly organ- ized and backed by the efforts of both classes. Utilizing interpretative reading in her se- mester speech, junior Sue Lakatos displays proper speaking form. ■l Presenting the affirmative side of the debate, senior Tom O’Hara sums up the main views of his fellow team members as they await the final decision of the judges. Opening Section 23 Advanced program gains momentum with modern physics and general science labs Using the overhead projector , Mr. Ronald Surdzial, chemistry instructor, explains to his students the use of a complicated form- ula in the experiment they are about to perform. With the tinkle of test tubes and the aroma of a freshly mixed sulfur compound, busy young scientists con- gregate around lab tables, attempting to create the correct chemical mixture. Designed to facilitate learning through practical experience, such laboratory experiments are an important part of the extensive science program at High- land High. Physics classes were taught in a new room this year. Also moving to a different classroom, inquisitive general science students made use of new fur- niture. Equally important as science in this technological day is a competence in mathematical skills. Having mas- tered the basics in geometry and algebra classes, students can advance to higher levels of math study, and may complete a six-year program. Thorough training in these courses pave the way for in- creasingly difficult college work which will rely heavily upon background gained in high school mathematics and science. Describing the various parts of the ear structure to inquisitive students, Mr. Jon Hendrix, biology instructor, makes use of the science department’s many costly, educational models. 24 Opening Section Beginning chemistry students find that working with mole- cular orbital models give them a keener insight into the workings of chemistry. In preparation for more complicated experiments which will be completer} later in the year, chem- istry students learn the fundamentals of molecular make-up, while making use of the many modern facilities. Physics instructor Mr. Lee Farley reflects his satisfaction at Carole Sumner’s successful completion of a classroom experiment. Performed to acquaint students with the effect of the Van de Graaf generator, such experiments aid students in understanding physics complexities. Junior Mike Cable pays close attention as Mr. Don Clark points out how blackboard exercises and diagrams serve to lighten the geometry picture and increase student understanding. Making use of basic mathematical skills , Virgil Meier explains the methods he used in arriving at the correct answers. Attempting to explain some of the com- plexities of psychology, Mr. Michael Kep- pler points out an important concept on the board.- Senior government students intently con- tinue in their studies which are geared to prepare them for the problems they will face as future government-minded citizens. Maturing young citizens study complex Mr. David Young, history and world prob- lems instructor, listens intently as a well- informed student comments on one of the lectures. Reviewing the chapter and going over his notes, junior Bill Moore prepares to par- ticipate in a stimulating class discussion pre- ceding a challenging history test. 26 Opening Section workings of a free society in changing world affairs Knowledge and understanding of national and world affairs is becom- ing more and more essential as inter- national problems become increasingly intense. Aiding students in this area were four new teachers who combined their talents to instill a consciousness of matters of prominent world signifi- cance. Since most of them are required for graduation, courses in this field are designed to correspond as a blended unit. Together they work to magnify student awareness of influential inter- national topics. Ranging from history and geog- raphy to more difficult government and economics classes, social studies courses provide the desired information about important world affairs for the inquis- itive, seeking, alert minds of young high school citizens. An innovation this year was the formation of the Social Science Club which was organized for students hav- ing an active interest in social studies. Recognizing the need for support in the Viet Nam crisis, members promoted a letter to Viet Nam, showing the desire to provide backing for U.S. soldiers in this war. Mr. Charles McGinley, government teacher, busily explains complex governmental procedures and policies in order to mold government students into better citizens. Thoughtfully reflecting upon the many prob lems of governing a nation that the founders 1 of America were forced to overcome is Bob Hermann, senior. Opening Section 27 TOP: Rosemary Locasto expectantly re- moves from the oven her latest cooking proj- ect, peach pot pie. MIDDLE: After taking it from the pan and allowing it to cool, she carefully cuts the first slice. BOTTOM : With the satisfaction of success, she heartily enjoys the results of a well-learned lesson. Home economics develop domestic skills , increase knowledge of homemaking Whether it be a mouth-watering whiff of freshly baked apple pie or an eye-catching clothing display case, a product from the home economics de- partment delights every passer-by. Fu- ture homemakers -produce an array of domestic creations in foods and clothing classes. Basic fundamentals form the foundation on which more proficient sewing skills and accomplished culinary talents are built. Advanced courses deal with the more intricate details of homemaking. Girls acquire home decorating and fur- nishing finesse through concentrated study. Practice and experiment provide an opportunity to learn by doing. End- less methods of making a more attrac- tive home are studied by girls who will utilize this information in decorating their own homes one day. Seeing that her family gets enough of the right food containing the proper vitamins and minerals is an all- important job of the homemaker, and one which is studied extensively in ad- vanced foods courses. The subject of nutrition is carefully examined and its importance in planning healthful, well- balanced meals is emphasized. Other home economics courses explore every aspect of future homemak- ing. All types of miscellaneous infor- mation so necessary to a smooth-run- ning home are delved into. Household management, budgeting of the finances, home nursing, and child care are but a few of the infinite bits of knowledge re- quired by a successful homemaker. Family living instructs girls in the proper attitudes and outlook on their role as a homemaker, as well as provides them with knowledge to stim- ulate thei r own imagination and origi- nality which will enable them to plan a better home. Busily attending to their individual tasks in clothing class, Colleen Houchin inserts a zipper with careful precision, while Priscilla Zeman inspects the latest completed garments of her classmates, and Sandy Ingram quickly runs up a seam on her nearly finished skirt. Girls in sewing classes learn to proficiently carry out their own designs in making original creations to suit their individual tastes and personalities, as well as keeping pace with the styles. 28 Opening Section With the steady hand acquired by hours of study and practice, Jim Nolan puts his deft skill to practical use as he carefully in- scribes his name on individual nameplates. Completing the final details of his wood shop project, Paul Wakefield demonstrates proper use of the variety saw. Expanded industrial arts department uses modern facilities November, 1965, marked the move into the newly completed indus- trial arts wing of the high school. Oc- cupancy of the modem, spacious, new facilities provided extensive opportuni- ties for boys to develop a deftness in manual skill and an understanding of industrial essentials and problems. Wood and metal shops furnish students with a chance to leam to apply the proper techniques in constructing useful furniture and metal objects. The correct use of simple hand tools and the wielding of complex power tools with safety are learned through expert in- struction and careful experimentation. Students obtain mechanical and architectural drawing mastery by par- ticipating in diverse projects designed to increase dexterity of hand and build manual skills. Mechanical drawing clas- ses train students in the methods of plan- ning and laying out machine parts. Sketching house plans and building actual scale models are integral parts of architectural drawing courses. Serving as a means to develop and polish talents, industrial arts courses prove valuable to students in future ac- tivities, whether they be jobs in the in- dustrial field or merely the satisfaction of planning and carrying out self-de- signed projects as a hobby. Industrious labor and the keen interest of energetic students in their individual projects is sharply reflected in the mirror of one of the modern shops in the newly-built industrial arts wing. Mr. Paul Brummett, architectural drawing instructor, aids John O’Day with his assignment and points out some reliable methods for improving his final draft. Students increase fluency, comprehension; language skills widen communication power “Como Estas?” “Bien, gracias. Y tu?” and so on goes the classroom conversation of Spanish students. Those taking the languages exchange similar greetings in their particular tongue, putting their knowledge of the art of communication to practical use. Foreign language study is not re- quired, but as an elective it provides students with the opportunity to broad- en their scope in the knowledge of oth- er people and their way of life. A maximum of four years of French, Ger- man, Latin, and Spanish are offered in the foreign language program. Supple- menting routine classroom lessons are newspapers and magazines which add interesting highlights. Besides instilling a strong gram- mar and vocabulary foundation, Eng- lish classes stress the ability to express thoughts and ideas in the most exact, effective manner possible. The power to convey precise shades of meaning clear- ly and accurately in written assignments is built by the maintenance of high composition work standards. Allowing students to develop and express opinions, literary works are discussed and their merit and meanings are scrutinized. Novels, short stories, plays, and poems all provide material for thoughtful analysis and comment. Authors’ lives are studied in order to more fully understand the significance of their literary accomplishments. Intently pondering a student’s interpreta- tion of a poem is Mr. Joseph Grifjy, Eng- lish teacher. Such invaluable experience gained by the students during the give and take of their daily discussions is geared to promote a sincere interest in good literature. Switching on the tape recorder, Mrs. Helen Beretz, German teacher, makes use of one of the Highland High language depart- ment’s many teaching facilities. Students find that listening to and repeating the German phrases on the tape is an essential part of learning this foreign language. With a background of colorful flags and posters representing the various Spanish- speaking countries of the world, Spanish students intently study their next dialogue. Junior Kathy Szczepkowski intently surveys a recent issue of a supplementary French schnlasti jnaaazii The busy hand of a Latin student is never through as long as there is a translation to do! Calling upon previous grammar t now-how and vocabulary, translations are an essential part of language fluency. The knowledge of language and the culture that it serves is becoming more and more im- portant to the maturing Highland High student in the evershrinking world of today. Hurriedly checking through their notes and scanning their mem- ories for the precise interpretation of a passage of MacBeth, these senior English students earnestly continue another of their daily discussions under the careful direction of Mr. Earl Govert, student teacher. Opening Section 31 Music, art classes foster creativity With a few strokes of her paint brush , Sandy Owens puts the finishing touches on her latest art project. Budding young artists and gifted singing prospects are recruited by the art and music departments in order to enhance these skills and in- crease the pleasure which can be de- rived from them. These departments eagerly encourage pupils to develop and cultivate growing young talents. Offering more extensive possi- bilities, the department moved this year to a new, more fully-equipped art room. Enthusiastic art students com- plete original projects which display their ingenuity in various ways. Sculp- tures, paintings, collages, chalk work, sketches, and ink drawings exhibit crea- tive imagination and youthful spirit. Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs, choir, and numerous extra-curricular singing ensembles are made available to the musically inclined student by the vocal department. Regular routine class work and unusual outside activi- ties such as concerts and trips to other schools in the area make participation in the music program at Highland High an enjoyable and valuable pastime for all keenly interested students. Their voices joined in unison. Glee Club members smooth out a small problem in one of their many musical selections. Such daily vocal practice under the capable in- struction of Mr. Gordon Wilder, music di- rector, builds all important lung power and voice control. Meticulously completing a drawing assign- ment in his sketch book, junior Howard Kirk busily works with one of the most favored art mediums, pen and ink. Sandy Eidner, senior, busily instructs Larry Gre- gory in some of the finer points of his cur- rent art project while junior Ray Baer looks on with interest. 32 Opening Section With pencils poised, shorthand students wait for Mrs. Marge Bianchetta to begin the day’s dictation as they eagerly prepare to increase their speed and translation ability so necessary to their future success in their business careers. New wing furnishes nine classrooms for Business Department Nine modern, spacious class- rooms are contained in the new busi- ness wing of the school, providing bet- ter facilities for future members of the commercial world to gain practical ex- perience. In them, students receive a strong background for whatever busi- ness area they may choose to enter. Puzzled expressions at a seem- ingly impossible-to-decipher short- hand sentence, frustrated countenances when a bookkeeping sum doesn’t bal- ance, the steady pluck-pluck of type- writer keys, and bells ringing regular- ly are all familiar sights and sounds of the business education department. Students studying the commercial cur- riculum learn the basics of business procedures and requirements through comprehensive primary and advanced courses. Nimble fingers able to fly over the keys with speed and accuracy are developed in typing classes. In short- hand classes students acquire the abil- ity to rapidly transcribe symbols. Book- keeping teaches proficiency in keeping clear, concise records. Business law and general business build fundamen- tal knowledge necessary to each stu- dent who will one day become a needed, vital component of the busi- ness world, able to contend with keen competition. Senior Lorraine Ball diligently totals several columns of figures in an effort to recheck her previous endeavor. Accuracy is all important in this type of work, and rechecking is a must. Checking her figures carefully before enter- ing the final sum in her journal, senior Marlene Ference gains practical experience which will be useful in a future business career. Opening Section 33 Summer school offers workshop classes for ambitious students The busy clickings of typewrit- ers, the excited squeals of physical edu- cation students merrily involved in a game of baseball, and the nervous tones of a novice speech student — these are the sounds of summer school. English, biology, mathematics, government, economics, and mechani- cal drawing were just a few of the many subjects offered to the interested and eager students who participated in this growing program. The advantages of the summer session were many and varied. The early completion of required subjects and the attainment of additional credits encouraged numerous students to par- take in this enriching medium of knowl- edge. The smaller classes fostered better relationships and more understanding between student and teacher since more individual attention could be readily given. Increased classroom activity characterized the summer school classes due to the relaxed atmosphere and favorable weather. Students were in- structed in the finer points of good driv- ing in both the classroom and ac- tual driving periods. Participation in this course was high since it is not read- ily available during the regular school year. Applied biology students also par- ticipated in this increased activity as they observed plant and animal changes in their small, individual plots of land. Keeping pace with the expand- ing community, summer school attend- ance reached an all time high. The number and variety of subjects offered also increased with the addition of more summer school teachers. Opening the door to another day of typed stencils and page layouts is junior Cheryl Walker, summer school TROJANAL edi- tor-in-chief. Jumping high to grab the rebound, boys in summer physical education classes enjoy a stimulating game of basketball. By participating in various activities, summer gym students increase physical fitness while developing athletic ability. Instructing novice drivers in the rudiments of defensive driving is Mr. Merlin Clinkenbeard. 34 Opening Section Professional entertainers demonstrate skills at convocations while providing unique entertainment The soft strains of a Christmas carol issue forth from the combined voices of the Highlanders as the various members of the Highland High School Choir anxiously await their turn to sing at a special con- vocation given for the entire student body. This convocation previewed only a few of the songs to be presented by the many mu- sic groups at a Christmas program given that night. Providing entertainment and a program of educational benefit, school convocations serve to give students a break from classes while still rendering useful information. Several professional entertainers participated in these Friday morning activity period convos. Speaking on his journeys to many countries was a world-traveled American sportsman. The values derived from participation in athletics, the responsibility of the spectator, and development of loyalty were all included in his talk. A Hoover cleaner, auto pump, toy balloon, and a saw were contained in the do-it-yourself orchestra of a nov- elty musician. A quick succession of unique musical instruments and witty comments made up his performance. Demonstrating basic and unus- ual trick archer) ' skills, techniques, and equipment was a nationally known tournament archer. His information and interesting presentation held the expectant attention of the entire student body. Completing the year’s schedule were a judo and karate demonstration, an explanation of extra-curricular clubs by the Student Council, and a music program staged by the vocal de- partment. Opening Section 35 Focusing intent concentration on the director, members of the Gavit High School choir blend their voices in sweet harmony as they perform for Highland High students during an activity period convo. At a special convocation sponsored by the Class of ’65, students are introduced to various judo holds and karate movements by experi- enced instructors including alumni Cheryl Gordon and Ray Mathias. Sports are more than batting a home run, making a touchdown, or streaking across the finish line; they are a growing in the mind and body. Bulging muscles reflect the strength of a grappler as he pins his opponent. The harrier displays his en- durance as he covers mile after mile. With the agility and alert mind of a true athlete, the basketball player guards his man. Along with building a strong body, active participation in sports develops the character of an in- dividual. Competition is the basis of all sports whether they be interscholastic or intramural. It is competition which fosters improvement. Working together as a team, athletes develop a keen sense of responsibility and cooperation. In individual sports, victory brings self- satisfaction. Sportsmanship is the key word in athletics, and the athlete soon learns to accept the defeats with the victories. Improved facilities including a new asphalt track exemplify the pat- terns of the expanding athletic depart- ment. New interests gained momentum with the addition of tennis. This was truly a year characterized by competi- tion, cooperation, and sportsmanship. A thletics Gridmen experience defeat as Trojans uphold spirit and suffer Vi. r? Senior Gary Allen stretches for the white-ringed football to dash the thirty remaining yards for the only Trojan touchdown scored against the powerful Dyer Indians. Phil Burton, senior tackle, rests uneasily as he and other teammates impatiently await their chance to return to the line. crucial injuries Lack of experience in the back- field and deficiency in experience marked the fighting Trojans with a 1 — 9 season. Leading players were hin- dered by injuries in an extremely warm and soggy season. Starting early with hard practices and an even tougher sea- son, the Trojans began with five devoted players. High spirits remained in the team all through the season as they made the best of their size. Practices between all games never saw a resting player as they worked to come up with a terrific play devised by coach Ken Sypult to strike up their first win from Lowell. Highland Trojans victoriously handed Lowell their ninth loss. Coach Ken Sypult worked up a hard-fighting unit with relatively inex- perienced boys. Trojan gridders strained, practiced, and then practiced some more as the challenges of rough games converged upon their heads. Victory was always the primary objective whether the team was on the practice field or in the steaming huddle during a fast moving game. Courage and strength ran fervently through the pulsating veins of our Men of Troy. New plays and approaches were in- stituted as the season forged on sturdily. In a scramble for the ball, sophomore Mark McClellan (77) and junior Hal Porter (28) join in an attempt to recover a fumble in the Gary Emerson game which became the second loss of the sea- son.

Senior Ron Hobbs fades ba ck and looks up the field for a possible receiver while a crouching guard provides needed protection from an advancing East Chicago Roosevelt player. Highland Trojans take expert care in lining up their defensive line so that they might drive Emerson away from the Highland goal line. However Trojan determination and pride were not enough to stop the powerful Emerson team from a 12 — 0 onslaught. Athletics 39 Shift in Highland line proves successful “You guys get in there and win this game,” exclaims coach Ken Sypult during the Lowell game; and the mighty Trojans did.

Gary Emerson followed this game with a 12 — 0 win in their favor. Gary Allen succeeded to give Highland their first touchdown, but it wasn’t sufficient to keep the strong Indians from taking a 21 — 7 win. Injured earlier in the year, Greg Withrow, junior tackle, crippled the line by leaving a gap in it, unable- ing the defense to hold East Gary Edison from a 12 — 0 game. Hal Por- ter, junior quarterback, came through by giving Highland a welcome touch- down at the Merrillville game, which ended in a 31 — 6 defeat, the sixth of the season for the Highland Trojans. The Trojans experienced their first two-touchdown game as they tested their skills against a turbulent Bull Dog team from Crown Point. Hal Por- ter scored his second seasonal touch- down followed by Rich Olszewski’s first touchdown of the year, this leaving the Highlanders short seven points in a 13 — 20 game. A 26 — 0 defeat for Highland dampened Homecoming spirit as Gary Wirt proudly took away a wanted vic- tory. A new plan, devised by coach Ken Sypult, enabled the Trojans to capture a 13 — 7 win from Lowell. This play proved unsuccessful for the Griffith- Highland game as the Panthers walked away with a 29 — 6 victory. The disappointment and weariness of defeat is revealed on the face of Junior Hal Porter as he returns sad and down-hearted from an- other hard-fought game. Junior full back Roger Silsby (44) dodges E. C. Roosevelt players as he runs toward the Rough Rider’s goal line hoping for a touchdown. Senior end George Darnell (88) antici- pates to stop Gary Emerson players as Dan Arrington senior guard, earnestly tries to catch him. VARSITY FOOTBALL — BOTTOM ROW: R. Knauss, manager; G. Manno, R.

The elite five for the Trojan harriers were Rick Espitia, Robin Blixt, Tom Wade, Rich Phillips, and Chuck Whitaker. Sophomore Rick Espitia, one of the area’s best running prospects, suf- fered leg injuries and was unable to fully rejoin the team. Senior Robin Blixt, team captain, made up for Rick’s loss by placing second in the Sectional competition at Crown Point. With only six returning letter- men Highland was hampered by team size. However, the mighty Trojans ranked eleventh in the Calumet Con- ference meets at Gleason Park and a fifteenth position in Sectionals. Future Harriers will have the benefit of a new track which was built this year around the football field. Made of asphalt, rubber, and cork, it has the appearance of an asphalt road.

Junior Rhett Tauber led the scoring with a season total of 285 points. Bill Boyd claimed second place in scor- ing with a season total ef 212 points. Tauber and Boyd again claimed top scoring positions as they totaled 31 points a piece during separate single games. Junior Jerry Greeson and senior Len Sporman also ranked in the high scoring brackets with single game totals of 23 and 26. Sectional hopes were dampened as the Trojans were defeated by the powerful Hammond Morton Governors 71—61. Junior Varsity coach, Mr. Merlin Clinkenbeard guided the determined J.V. Trojans through a winning 16 — 4 season and a hard fought tournament win. Crown Point, Merrillville, Edison, Hammond Gavit, Dyer, Lowell and Calumet all encountered defeat by the J.V. during fast paced court action. High point men for the entire season were junior Rudy Lomberger wit h 186 points and sophomores Ron Ispas and Randy Benesh with 173 and 147 points respectively.

Athletics 51 Highland acquires improved facilities as asphalt track nears its completion Boasting the largest running strip in the state, Highland High’s first track is rapidly approaching long- awaited completion. Made with a spe- cial composition of rubber base and cork, it will be only the third of its kind in Indiana. Estimated cost of the new, all-weather track is approximately 27,000 dollars. Distance of the two straight- aways will be 110 yards each, with eight running lanes. Containing six lanes for the runners, the oval sections will measure 220 yards each. Twelve meets have been sched- uled for the upcoming season, with several set for the home track. In addi- tion, the Highland team will compete in the Divisional, Sectional, and Con- ference track meets. Under the able leadership of head coach Donn Kaupke and assist- ant coach Ken Sypult, the Trojan harriers hope to improve on a fair 5 — 4 1965 season. Working to obtain high standings in conference and regional competition, the ’66 squad anticipates a successful season ahead. Through rigorous practice sessions and heedful coaching, the track men will steadily increase improvem ent possibilities. Promising prospects are junior Jeff Gray in the broad jump, sopho- more sprinter Ron Ispas, seniors Terry Horvat in shot put competition, and Robin Blixt running the two mile. Sophomores Jim Muffett and Vic Foshion are expected to do well in the hurdles. Coach Kaupke is looking for- ward to an interesting season watching these young men develop and turn in increasingly good times and distances. TRACK — BOTTOM ROW: Mr. K.

Opening the 1965 season in early April, last year’s squad finished with an 18 — 5 record. With a 9 — 2 season for the Calumet Conference, Highland tied for second place. “Record-breaking” was the key word as the turfmen clashed with Gary Edison in the last match of the sched- uled season. The school team record of 156, set in 1964, was broken by the Highland squad’s 155 stroke score. Frequent medalist Larry Landis claimed an individual golf score record with a 32 stroke total. Trojan turfmen ranked twelfth out of thirty-seven schools participating in an invitational golf tourney at Lake Hills with a 357 total.

Crown Point came back to stop this streak by a win of 2 — 3 over the Trojans. River Forest and Gary ' Wirt were the next to fall to Highland with blankouts from both. Gary Lew Wallace was the last team to beat the Trojans which was followed by victories over Munster, Gary Wirt, and Griffith. Harry Mathers coached the first team to their better than average season.

Athletics 55 “Bob Smith . . . here, Mary Jones . . . present,” amid the chaos and deafening clamor of a club meet- ing, members listen for their cue as the secretary calls the roll. The long mem- bership list of every organization grew with the increased school enrollment and the intense interest of the student body in extra-curricular activities. No matter where your interests lie, whether in the fields of music, athletics, drama, foreign language, medicine, or journalism, Highland High School offers a variety of clubs to satisfy every need. To meet the grow- ing interests in other areas, students and faculty worked together to estab- lish new organizations. The Inter-club Council works to correlate the activities of these or- ganizations. In their attempt to avoid the confusion of conflicting plans, they also endeavor to inform the student body of coming events. Working together, club mem- bers gain experience, satisfaction, and knowledge. Students grow through ac- tive participation; and, in turn, the club benefits through the new ideas and ambitious efforts of its members.

Concession stand profits provide Trojan Lettermen with money to promote sportsmanship, scholarship, and clean living The screech of a whistle, the crack of a baseball bat, the swish of a basketball through the hoop — all are familiar sounds to a Letterman. These boys, who have earned a letter in one of Highland High School’s varsity sports, promote the ideals of sportsmanship, scholarship, clean living, and clean speech. Putting aside golf clubs, tennis rackets, and track shoes, they operated the concession stand at home basket- ball games, their chief money-raising project. Blue blazers for the teams and coaches and the Calumet Conference pennants on display in the gym are among their many contributions. Striving to improve the school and community, the Lettermen were led by Gary Manno, president; Ron Szakatits, vice president; Ron Blixt, sec- retary-treasurer; and Dan Arrington, sergeant-at-arms. Aiding these officers were club sponsors Ken Sypult, football coach, and Donn Kaupke, track coach.

Visions of world fame have crossed many a girl’s mind as she dribbled a basketball down the court, climbed to the top of a human pyramid, or stood defiantly on her head. Displaying unique characteristics of physical fitness and sportsmanship, G.A.A. members worked to earn the symbols of athletic achievement, sweat- ers, letters, plaques, and charms.

Splits and cartwheels add a lively accent to their ordinary routines. Endless hours of practice develop the co-ordination, poise, stamina, and agility necessary in cheerleading. Encouraging school spirit were the varsity cheerleaders Betsy Ceaser, Judy Adamchik, Linda Sulski, and Kathy Pettit. With the enthusiasm of novices, junior varsity cheerleaders Pam Moffett, Annette Koselke, Sara Vaughn, and Laurel Habzansky sup- ported our team. Striving always to improve, the varsity cheerleaders attended the An- nual Cheerleading Conference last fall at Indiana University in Bloomington. After exchanging ideas with cheer- leaders from other parts of the state, the varsity squad returned with many new cheers for the coming season and invaluable experience. Varsity cheerleaders add to the spirit of the Homecoming festiv- ities.

Musselman, spon- sor. Kicking off the Homecoming season was the annual sale of mums to be worn during the festivities. A choice of class numerals or the letter “H” to be placed on the mum was offered. Amid piles of napkins and bales of chicken wire, members could be seen working untiringly on the Homecoming float. Under the golden crown of the float, sat the six queen nominees, making their public debut in the Homecoming parade. Bringing the Homecoming ac- tivities to an end, the Booster Club sponsored its annual Homecoming dance for all Highland High students during which the 1965 Homecoming Queen began her reign.

Sign Painters display talents by various open house hall exhibits Future Leonardo da Vincis and van Goghs displayed their talent and imagination as active members of the Highland High School Sign Painters Club. These members were chosen on the basis of their artistic ability. With paint brush and palette in hand, the Sign Painters made posters telling of school and local affairs. For a nominal fee, they published coming parties, dances, sales, soc-hops and other events. Adding an artistic touch, they turned our otherwise drab school cor- ridors into galleries of art. “Invest in Learning,” the theme of this year’s open house, was brought out by the Sign Painters Club in their hall bulle- tin board decorations. Contributing to the enthusiasm of many football and basketball games, members of the club combined their ideas and skills to design and make the traditional victory hoop. This colorful and often witty hoop is used at the be- ginning of the game as the players pass through it when they emerge from the locker room onto the field or court. Their number was small, but their ideas were many as they worked under the direction of Miss M. Bluhm, art instructor and sponsor; Carolyn Madura, president; Bev Beanblossom, vice president; and Jackie Novak, secretary-treasurer to insure the effi- cient publication of various activities and the imaginative decoration of school bulletin boards. Glue, ink, and a lot of hard work on the part of Randy Osborn all go into the expert posters which are Sign Painter’s products. SIGN PAINTERS— BOTTOM ROW: Miss M. Bluhm, sponsor; C.

Writing stories, making lay-outs, selling ads, fitting headlines, and proof- reading galleys were full time occupa- tions for TROJANAL editors as they rushed to meet the deadline. Chosen at the Quill and Scroll Banquet, these editors served in their specific capacities for one semester. Put- ting out a weekly, four-page publica- tion, they soon learned to accept the responsibilities of editorship. Special six to twelve page editions, issued during Homecoming, Christmas, Sectionals, and Graduation, offered a challenge to the newspaper staff. “What is the average amount of money you spend per week during the school year?” Questions such as this comprised the marketing survey, con- ducted by the TROJANAL.

Imagination, planning, and just plain perspiration went into producing this year’s SHIELD, the story of the people, events, and spirit of Highland High. Utilizing every moment of their spare time, editors endeavored to meet the standards set by previous editions of the yearbook. The 1965 SHIELD received an A+ rating from the NSYA and Medal- ist from the CSPA, the highest year- book ratings awarded by these journal- istic organizations. To better prepare SHIELD edi- tors for the challenge of producing a yearbook, representatives were sent to journalism institutes at Ohio, Michi- gan State, and Indiana Universities.

From humor to essay, from po- etry to short story, the CENTAUR, Highland High’s human interest maga- zine, offers students an outlet for their literary talents. To provide material for the pub- lication, CENTAUR sponsored a writ- ing contest. Entries were judged by members of the English Department; and first, second, and third place win- ners in the four categories received cer- tificates at the annual Quill and Scroll Banquet. Appealing to the artistically talented students, the magazine con- ducted a cover design contest. Under the direction of Mr. Rich- ard Johns, publications advisor, and Karen Dudley, editor-in-chief, the CEN- TAUR was published entirely by the staff. Acting as a public relations agent for Highland High, the News Bureau distributed news stories and photographs pertaining to school activities to area newspapers, including The Hammond Times, Calumet Press, and Highland Journal. Unique in this area, is the meth- od of operation used by the Highland High News Bureau under the direction of Justine Petrukitas, general manager. Reporters fill out news forms in trip- licate and turn them into the news headquarters. Correspondents for the various area newspapers used these forms in writing their news releases. A scrapbook of all stories printed is kept by the News Bureau staff for later use as a reference. CENTAUR AND NEWS BUREAU STAFF— BOTTOM ROW: K. Kelleman, N. Bowers, C. Houehin. SECOND ROW: S.

Combine these qualities with various individual interests in such areas as dramatics, art, and debate and you have the perfect formula for the leaders of tomorrow. At the annual Scholarship Ban- quet in the spring, members who had been chosen from the top ten per cent of the junior class by a vote of the en- tire faculty were initiated into the so- ciety. Those chosen in the fall from the top 15 per cent of the senior class were inducted at a formal initiation, which also served as the club’s Christ- mas party. Honoring those who have main- tained a B average throughout high school, NHS provided cowls for these outstanding graduates. To raise funds for such projects, the society sponsored a bake sale and the selling of team but- tons during Sectionals.

Take fifty three energetic boys, blend with the desire to serve the school and community, leaven with the quali- ties of good citizenship, and you have the recipe for the Highland High School Key Club. With a flip of a golden brown pancake, Key Club members assisted their parent organization, the Highland Kiwanis Club, in conducting their an- nual Pancake Day. The aroma of hot roasted peanuts floated through the air as Kiwanis and Key Clubers banded together to sell peanuts throughout Highland. Leading the club in their Christ- mas holly and garland sale this year were Jim Susorney, president; Bob Un- derwood, vice president; Jerry Ashton, secretary; and Tom Palmer, treasurer. A miniature telephone book, the 1965-66 Student Directory, was com- piled and published by the Key Club as a school service project. Serving as a convenient reference book, the direc- tory provided the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all students. New sophomore Key Club members join in the Christmas spirit by decorating the tree which was displayed in the library. 72 Organizations Y -TEENS — BOTTOM ROW: Miss R. Ramsey, sponsor; L.

Y -Teens support Vietnamese orphan with letters and money A little orphan girl walks the streets of war-torn Vietnam in search of food, shelter, and love. She wears a tattered dress, and her little feet are shoeless. She has never had a doll, a birthday party, or a bright ribbon for her hair. She can’t go to school. What can she look forward to in the future? Through the help of the High- land High School Y-Teens, her future promises to be a bright one. Money, letters, and gifts were sent to the child each month by the club which works to bring happiness to those less fortu- nate. As a branch of the Young Wom- en’s Christian Association, Y-Teens strive to meet the standards of their parent organization through various service projects. Believing that “it is bet- ter to give than to receive,” the club has taken toys to children in hospitals and candy to old folks in rest homes in past years. To raise funds for such proj- ects, the club sponsored its annual potato chip sa le. Portraying typical Y-Teen spirit Mary Schulp. Lynn Giles.

Kathy Quigg and Miss Forsberg, sponsor of F.B.L.A., discuss the procedures of the annual Christmas toy drive for the blind children. Christmas toy drive for the blind tops F.B.L.A.’s list of activities Miss Sylvia Walker, sponsor of F.B.L.A., relates club problems and projects to zeal- ous listeners interested in the business world. The steady beat of a typewriter provides the background for taking dictation, sorting files, and balancing accounts, as prospective businessmen train in the field of endeavor. Whether their choice be secretary, file clerk, or business executive, the Future Business Leaders of America aids in preparing them for the business world. In an attempt to further their knowledge through the exchange of ideas, members attended the state con- vention at Ball State University, in Muncie. Lifting Yuletide spirit among those less fortunate, was their goal as they conducted the Christmas toy drive for the blind, one of many service proj- ects. The business world is a sticky one as most F.B.L.A. members will agree after the annual taffy apple sale. F.T.A. initiates new members by traditional ceremony The warm glow of candles cast dark shadows on solemn faces as new members of the Future Teachers of America recited the club pledge. This traditional initiation ceremony marked the beginning of an eventful year for the club under the direction of Miss A. Braunwarth, sponsor. Corraling their members, the club attended the F.T.A. Roundup at Ho- bart High School. Here they met with members of other club chapters to dis- cuss club activities and the teaching profession itself. Highlighting Teacher Apprecia- tion Week was the annual Teacher’s Breakfast, prepared and served by club members. As a part of the occasion, women teachers received corsages and men teac hers, boutonnieres. “Experience is a good teacher” as many F.T.A. members will agree. Those who have been members in good standing for at least one year have the opportunity to student teach for a High- land High School teacher. As an incentive to all F.T.A. members, the club offers two scholar- ships to seniors definitely interested in entering the teaching profession. What do you mean that the answer book says six?” exclaims Jim Ross. Student teach- ers gain valuable classroom experience. F.T.A. — BOTTOM ROW: Miss A. Braunwarth, sponsor; A. Smith, historian; K.

M.C.C. delegates travel to I.U. Medical Center to further their knowledge of medical opportunities “ Will I live, Doc?” says Deb Pasquinelli worriedly. Herschel Morris looks doubtful, but Old Doc Hendrix carries on confi- dently. Invaluable experience is gained by members of M.C.C. through the practice of such elementary medical techniques. “ Now where does this go?” This problem doesn’t arise too often, but when it does, the experience gained by a member of M.C.C. helps to solve it. Future participants in the field of medicine prepare themselves for their future occupation by diligent study. “Scalpel . . . sponge ... su- ture,” members of the Medical Careers Club perform mock surgery. Looking ahead, they are preparing themselves for a future in one of many medical professions open to those interested. Striving to instill within its mem- bers the qualities characteristic of a servant of humanity, this organization donated various items to area hospitals and the Carmelite Home for Girls. To further their knowledge of the many opportunities in the medical field today, the club sent representatives to the Medical Career Club Conference at the Indiana University Medical Cen- ter in Indianapolis. To experience first- hand the sights, sounds, and smells of a hospital, the members took a three hour guided tour of the Cook County Hospital and School of Nursing last fall. Laying their pills and stetho- scopes aside, the M.C.C. members joined the picnic crowd, winding up an eventful year. 76 Organizations F.H.A. members entertain their mothers at annual tea Mrs. Johns, sponsor of F.H.A. , explains the schedule of events for the club to Jo Ann Wimberly, president. Learning homemaking skills is the main objective of the club. Harriet Mesman applies her cooking skills, learned at F.H.A., to baking a pie. F.H.A. caters to teaching girls how to make a happy home of their own in the future. Will a robot-maid programmed to sweep, dust, cook, and make beds replace the housewife of today? The Future Homemakers of America are pre- pared to meet this and other challenges of the future. The forty-nine club mem- bers, under the guidance of Mrs. Johns, strived to help individuals improve per- sonal, family and community living, now and in the future. With aprons and measuring cups in hand, the F.H.A. prepared cakes and pies for their annual bake sale, the first money-making project of the year. Making their debut as hostesses, the girls served refreshments during open house. Under the direction of JoAnn Wimberly, president; Betty Suroviak, vice president, and Nancy Suplick, treasurer; many social activities includ- ing a havride were planned. Bringing out their best china and silver, the girls entertained their mothers at the annual mother-daughter tea. F.H.A. — BOTTOM ROW: B. Suroviak, vice president; J. Wimberly, president; N.

Organizations 77 Language club projects reflect interest of members in cultures , languages of foreign countries. The picturesque Eiffel Tower, the ancient Heidelburg Castle, and a breath-taking bull fight are popular topics for discussion among the mem- bers of Highland High’s three language clubs, as they study the cultures of France, Germany, and Spain. Der Deutsche Verein, under the direction of Mrs. H. Beretz, the club sponsor, celebrated the Yuletide with a German-style Christmas party. Getting a taste of German culture, members of the club enjoyed dinner at a well-known German restaurant. “Noel, Noel” rang through the air as French Club members spread the spirit of the season with joyous Christ- mas carols. With the excitement of a New Orleans celebration, the club spon- sored its annual Mardi Gras, with the aid of Mrs. F. Burnett. “Hola!” With this friendly greet- ing, South American exchange students were welcomed into the homes of many Spanish Club members. During their three month stay, they learned of Ameri- can culture, customs, and language. In turn, selected members of the Spanish Club visit a South American country during the summer months. Planning their card party and style show, club members were aided by Mrs. E. Casiano. As an incentive to further study, the club offers a $100 scholarship to a col- legiate majoring in Spanish. “Torro, torro!” Matador Rhonda Wallen, sporting the traditional bullfighter’s costume at- tempts to anger the bull with a swirl of her red cape atop the Spanish Club Homecoming float entitled Slaughter ’Em!” The float along with other projects reflects the club’s interest in the culture, customs, and language of Spanish.

Newly established Social Science Club sends Christmas greeting to soldiers in Vietnam; nine hundred sign message “Sign right here!” Cindy Broun and Brad Kucer supervise as Jim Cady adds his name to the other nine hundred and thirty- nine signatures. The newly formed Social Science Club sent this Christmas message to American soldiers in Vietnam — just one part of the school drive to support our fighting men. Before being sent, the letter was put on display in the library window-showcase. Forgotten — one little word which can mean so much to an Ameri- can soldier as he crawls through the jungles of Vietnam, millions of miles from his home and loved ones. Forgot- ten by some maybe, but not by the So- cial Science Club of Highland High. To show their support of these fighting men, the club wrote a letter conveying their feelings in the form of a Christmas greeting. Nine hundred and forty students, teachers, and members of the administration signed the mes- sage which was sent to the First Infantry Division in Vietnam. The Vietnam letter was the first of many projects of the newly organized Social Science Club. The twenty-five charter members strived to stimulate an interest in the social sciences especially through the discussion of current events. In the manner of a democratic organization, the club drew up its con- stitution, presenting it to the Student Council for approval. Under the direc- tion of Mr. Keppler, Mr. Young, and Mr. Kelly, sponsors, members elected the first officers who were Cindy Brown, president; Jim Ross, vice president; Jean McShane, secretary; and David DeRolf, treasurer; leading the new organization. 82 Organizations Science Club edits own publication, visits rock quarry “Sure hope this works!” exclaims George Rabatin, Science Club president, as he doubt- fully mixes two chemicals.

Want to catch a thief? For those members interested in police work, the club sponsored a discussion by the Indi- ana State Police on the science of crime detection. “Playing with dynamite,” Mr. Hallett and Mr. Bianchetta, sponsors, lectured on the nature of explosives. Such club projects were carried out un- der the direction of George Rabatin, president; David Danda, vice president; Jim Asboth, secretary; and Jack Stepp, treasurer. The prospect of digging up the skeleton of a prehistoric dinosaur i nter- ested many Science Club members in the geological field trip to a nearby rock quarry.

An innovation in club ac- tivities this year, the monthly bulletin was published by a special committee and distributed to members. Organizations 83 Forensics vie in area and state competition, present melodrama The question has been research- ed, the sides have been chosen, soon the debate will begin. Tension mounts as members of the Highland High School Forensics Club prepare to join in a heated argument. As a member of the Calument Forensic League, the organ- ization is a combination of original, ora- torical, extemporaneous, and humorous speech, poetry, radio announcing, and debate. “Competition” was the key word as members vied for honors in several speech contests and debates. Hosting the annual spring Speech Conference, the club invited area high schools to join in the competition. Ball State Uni- versity was the destination of members participating in the state-wide speech contest. Putting their talent and knowl- edge of public speaking to use, members of the Forensics Club entertained with their annual melodrama. This year’s pre- sentation, “Her Fatal Beauty or A Shop Girl’s Honor,” was produced under the direction of Mr. R. Chapman, club sponsor. With lectern and notes put aside, Forensic Club members rocked out at their Miss Soc-Hop Dance.

Through books, Literary Discussion Club members visit new worlds while interpretations promote lively discussions Would you like to ride a camel across the desert sands of Egypt, ex- plore a forbiding crator on the surface of the moon, or stow away on a pirate ship sailing the Spanish Main? Books can take you to these and many other lands. Probing into the meaning and significance of various books, members of the Highland High School Literary Discussion Club exchanged ideas through the presentation of various in- terpretations. Style, theme, setting, and plot of various literary works were thoroughly discussed at meetings, which took place twice a month, under the direction of Karen VanMeter, chair- man. Digging deeper, emphasis was placed on the characterization and sym- bolism of books. Among those books read and discussed by club members were The Turn of the Screw , Of Mice and Men, Franny and Zooey, and The Metamorphosis. Karen Van Meter explains her point of view to Shirley Puckett while growing minds are challenged and thriving ideas flourish, as L iterary Discussion provides a forum.

The ex- citement of an opening night was felt by all involved in the production of the Drama Club’s three-act fall play, “Lad- ies in Retirement,” and “The Match- maker,” the club’s spring presentation. Nightly rehearsals found promis- ing actors and actresses diligently memo- rizing their lines. Working behind the scenes, other Drama Club members de- signed sets, constructed scenery, ar- ranged the lighting, sewed costumes, and learned the art of applying make-up in a combined effort to make every produc- tion a success. With the inspiration and guid- ance of Mr. E. Colin Black, sponsor, the Drama Club promotes interest in the field of dramatics. Directing members in all club activities were Alexa Smith, president; Ron Shropshire, vice presi- dent; Becky Furnas, secretary; and Donna Lassanske, treasurer. Attracted by the “roar of the greasepaint,” Drama Club members at- tended a play at a Chicago theater. In an effort to increase their knowledge of the theatrical world, selected members represented Highland High School at a summer drama institute where they attended lectures and group meetings to exchange ideas. An innovation in club activities this year was an informal dance featur- ing a local combo. This soc-hop re- placed the usual fall semi-formal dance which the club has sponsored in past years. Receiving a “standing ovation” in the field of dramatics, nine Drama Club members were selected as members of the Thespians, a national honorary society. Drama Club members received a certain number of points for work done in any of the various aspects of play production. It is on the basis of this point total that members of the Thespian Society are chosen. This or- ganization is also under the direction of Mr. Black aided by Marilyn Bacon, president; Joanne Cuculic, vice presi- dent; Jean McShane, secretary; and Jane Middleton, treasurer; juniors active in play presentations. To stay in the character of “ Old Ladies in Retirement” proved very challenging to Ale- xa Smith and Carol Sumner. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB— BOTTOM ROW: D. Hepler, L. Cox, G. Daville. F. Stan, R. Pope, H.

When they are not twirling, Fran plays the bassoon; and Paula, the saxophone in the concert band. during half time shows, parades, concerts The steady beat of the drums, the piercing screech of the bugle, the familiar oom-pa-pa of the tuba — bring on the band ! Following weeks of daily practice, rehearsing songs and perfecting new marching maneuvers, the Highland High School Band highlighted the half time festivities of numerous football games. Accompanying Lettergirls and cheer- leaders in their routines, the band aided in promoting the school spirit necessary to athletic contests. Flaming batons added sparkle to the Homecoming game as majorettes Paula Nevers and Fran Turner executed a special rountine. Every performance of the marching band found the two girls twirling along. With their bright blue and gold uniforms, shiny instruments, and spirited music, the band marched in the Home- coming parade, while adding a musical background to the display of club and class floats. Welcoming Santa to town, the band played in the Highland Christ- mas parade, marching to the strains of “Jingle Bells” and other seasonal tunes. Strutting ahead of drum and bugle, Chuck Whitaker, drum major, led the band at all performances. “All rise for the National An- them,” was a familiar sound heard at the beginning of every basketball game as the pep band prepared to play the “Star Spangled Banner.” Volunteer members of the regular band comprised this peppy addition to ' game festivities. Playing the school song and accompany- ing the Booster Block in cheers, the pep band did much to raise school spirit. To create enthusiasm through competition, Highland High hosted the twelfth annual Northern Indiana School Band, Orchestra, and Vocal Association Contest in February. Over four thou- sand high school band members partici- pated in the country-wide event. The contest also served as a money-making project for the proceeds from refresh- ments and a luncheon went to the Band Parents Association. In an effort to entertain and ac- quaint the public with the High School’s musical facilities, the band presented Christmas and Spring Concerts. Holding his baton high, Chuck Whitaker, drum major, struts ahead of the band. Chuck also plays clarinet in the concert band. BAND— BOTTOM ROW: R. Schaer, C. Brown, B. Furnas, C. McDonald.

Organizations 91 Twelve hundred faces — what distinguishes one from another? Per- sonality. The way a person acts and how he feels about the world around him, this is personality. Personalities can change with time as one grows toward maturity. The experience gained through con- tact with varying personalities helps to develop the character of every indi- vidual. Such a variety of personalities can be found among the growing pop- ulation of Highland High. Along with the obvious disad- vantages of a large student body, there are also many advantages. Keener com- petition comes with large numbers and encourages improvement within the in- dividual. Working together in their search for knowledge fostered deep and lasting friendships among the many students of Highland High. With more students interested in various fields, a need was created for new clubs, additional courses, more teachers, and a larger school building. The fulfillment of these needs brought many improvements to the growing high school as it took its place in the expanding community. Personalities Administrators guide students , co-ordinate activities; Aiding Superintendent Monbeck in the con- tinual overseeing of the entire Highland edu- cational system is Mr. Clyde M. Sumner, As- sistant to the Superintendent. Continually guiding and aiding the many students at Highland High are guidance counselors, Mr. James Owens, Mr. John Fruth, and Mrs. Annabelle Shone, Guidance Director.

Setting school policies are school board members, Mr. C. H. Whit- aker, Mr. R. L. Ross, and Mr. J. H. Strange. An ever expanding program of guidance greeted students this year un- der the direction of Mrs. Annabelle Shone, Mr. John Fruth, Mr. James Owens and Mr. Paul Kienzynski. Stu- dent job placement and the obtainment of social security cards from the gui- dance offices highlighted this year’s program. Mr. J. H. Strange, Mr. C. H. Whitaker, and Mr. R. L. Ross care- fully look over some newly proposed school policies which will be discussed at their next weekly meeting. Hurriedly making a last minute announce- ment over the intercom system in the main office is just one of the many duties per- formed daily by Mrs. Laurene Coles.

Personalities 97 Faculty finds year characterized by innovation and addition as “All right class, who can answer this question?” is a phrase often re- peated by many of the conscientious and hard working teachers of High- land High School as they progress in the give and take of daily discussions. Faculty found innovation and addition characteristic of this year as the increasing demands of new courses were met by the addition of five more teachers; but more important, the in- creasing demands of students in their quest for knowledge were also met by this increase of teachers. Another important innovation which greatly affected students and fac- ulty this year was the addition of a commercial and industrial arts center, since the faculty found such practical experience made their lessons more meaning ful while students gained in knowledge. This same addition of rooms created fifteen more teacher posts which were carefully filled by highly qualified and enthusiastic teach- ers. MR.

Answering one of the many questions put to him by interested parents during open house is Mr. George Smock, U.S. history teacher. Such an exchange of questions and answers between parents and teachers lead to richer relationships and better un- derstanding of the many problems involved in education. This annual occasion stimulates greater interest in the various and complex learning processes. Sophomores learn to evolve into the society of upperclassmen “We’re finally sophomores!” was the cry heard by many as the class of ’68 was caught up in a whirl of ac- tivities and studies. New faces, bewildering sched- ules, and hard work soon made the sophomore class feel that they were an important and necessary part of High- land High School. For the first time they could participate in various sports, clubs, and publications. Scared and nervous but eager, sophomores were soon busy building their homecoming float, “Stronger Than Wirt,” earning money for next year’s junior-senior prom and selling sweatshirts. Sponsoring car washes, the an- nual Mr. Football soc-hop, and finally choosing their prized class rings were also a few of their many activities. Each of the sophomores felt a certain distinction and pride as they claimed the record for being the largest single class ever to enter Highland High with 406 members. Through their continual cheers at Trojan games and constant backing of school activities, the sophomores re- flected their ever present enthusiasm. Looking over a lengthy list of sophomore class projects for the coming year are Sally Bennett, treasurer; Greg Turean, vice president; Pam Drapeau, president; Rosemary Locasto, secretary; and Mr. and Mrs. fames Bianchetta, sponsors.

Personalities 123 Appearance of three Excitement prevails as Mr. Richard Johns, Sally Hendrickson, Betsy Ceaser, Janet Strange and Karen Eldredge prepare to leave for the annual New York journalism convention. Patriotism and leadership figured as key elements in the selection of Jan Strange as recipient of the DAR citizenship award. Seniors Gary Manno, Ron Szakatits, Vito Zukauskas, Ron Hobbs and Gary Allen, Mr. Football nominees, carry on tradition while being honored as outstanding senior Trojan football players. Mr. Football is chosen at an annual soc-hop sponsored by the sophomore class. Intently looking on, senior Bonnie Bowers carefully records the cap and gown sizes of a fellow classmate. Cap and gown fittings are an important part of the senior year since they help the seniors to fully realize the finality of commencement and the hopes and dreams for their future. 124 Personalities seniors on an educational television show marks first for class Youthful enthusiasm, spirit and zeal were keynoted as the class of ’66 entered Highland High as inexperi- enced eighth graders. La Primavera, their graduation dance, finished a memorable and busy year. Capably led by Janet Strange, president; John Leister, vice-president; Judy Adamchik, secretary; and Rich Mulligan, treasurer, the eager freshmen emphasized class organization. Soggy tennis shoes and dishpan hands prevailed at their first class car wash while painted sweatshirts and “slang” books became the reigning fads. Sweatshirt sales, car washes, the Mr. Football dance, a second prize tro- phy for their homecoming float, “It’s in the Bag,” and a summer street dance with Oscar and the Majesties high- lighted their sophomore year’s activi- ties. All activities were led and coor- dinated by sophomore class officers : Len Sporman, president; Rick Gaston, vice-president; Carole Sumner, secre- tary; and Maryann Queer, treasurer. The selection of class rings topped off the year for the excited sophomores. For the first time in three years the class of ’66 was no longer the youngest for they were upperclassmen — they were juniors. Keeping pace with the current record fads and trends, the juniors proudly represented their spirited class in the 1964 homecoming parade with their original float, “Beat-Le ’Em.” The annual chili supper, the junior-senior basketball game, the car washes and the bake sales under the supervision of Dobie Killam, president; Debbie Pasquinelli, vice-president; Maryann Queer, secretary; and Maryk Abblett, treasurer, were all planned with only one goal in mind — prom. Couples attending the prom were introduced into a world of “Ce- lestial Enchantment” through the many long months of toil put forth by the hard working juniors and the co-prom chairmen, Judy Rost and Rick Gaston. Excitement reached fever pitch as Deb Pasquinelli and Rick Gaston were announced prom queen and king. Members of their royal court included Maryann Queer, Carole Sumner, Judy Adamchik, Anne Sharp, Maryk Abblett, Judy Rost, Jay Brownell, Do- bie Killam, Charlie Law, Len Spor- man, Jack Silverman, and Steve Deck- er. Woodmar Country Club was the scene of the after prom party. Ap- pearing at the party were Oscar and the Majesties. Adding to the festivities were door prizes and a magician. Proudly claiming the senior court as theirs, members of the senior class began the final year of their high school career headed up by class offi- cers: Chuck Whitaker, president; Anne Sharpe, vice-president; Janie Thomp- son, secretary, and Sue Barr, treasurer. Tradition was once again bro- ken as the seniors excitedly captured the first place trophy for their winning homecoming float, “Layin’ for Victory.” Still more honors were to be be- stowed upon the many members of the senior class as a happy and thrilled Maryann Queer was announced home- coming queen and Dan Arrington was chosen Mr. Football for his outstand- ing performance on the Trojan foot- ball team. Another first for the class of ’66 was the appearance of three senior boys, Mel Mahoney, Craig Dorschel, and Rick Schumacher, on an educa- tional television panel show, “It’s Aca- demic.” Moderated by Mr. Ed Gren- nin, attending Highland students saw the Highland team defeat the two oth- er competing teams, Hammond High and Loyola. Anticipation mounted as the class motto, colors and gifts were chos- en, and cap and gown measurements were recorded. The solemn strains of “Pomp and Circumstance,” the soft swishings of the many caps and gowns, the stir- ring words of the valedictorian and the salutatorian, and the quiet tears of the graduating seniors — these are the many sights and sounds of graduation. The days and years have flown by quickly — almost too quickly, but the many happy memories of the work, knowledge, and laughter of their high school days will be cherished for many years by all of the class of ’66. Marking another first for Highland High School, three seniors, Mel Mahoney, Craig Dorschel, and Rick Schumacher appeared on an educational panel television show, “ It’s Academic.” Also appearing on the program were Mr. John Fruth and Mr. Ed Grennin, moderator. Prom king and queen nominees for 1965 included Len Sporman, Anne Sharp, Jack Silver- man, Judy Rost, Dobie Killam, Carole Sumner, Steve Decker, Maryann Queer, Jay Brownell, Judy Adamchik, John Gilsinger, and Maryk Abblett. Quiet tears , swishing of caps and gowns characterize graduation Class members combined cooperation and spirit to build “It’s in the Bag,” a sophomore year float entry by the seniors while tradi- tion was once again honored as the Trojans rolled on to another victorious homecoming game against a rugged Lowell team. Under the sponsorship of Y -Teens, senior Carol James regally reigns as Highland High’s 1966 Miss Soc-Hop. Great excitement, hard work and youthful zeal characterized the building of the first float entry, Grind ’Em, by the class of ’66 during their freshman year. The happy memories of their early high school days found the young class united in effort. 126 Personalities Mr. Monbeck discusses with Mr. Warren plans for the future, which are very important in the progress and advancement of every school system. Passing on his nameplate to Mr. Warren, Mr. Monbeck anticipates a welcomed retirement. Mr. Monbeck retires from his long-held post as Superintendent Thirty years of continuous growth and administrative supervision characterized Lon Monbeck’s service to the Highland School system. Mr. Monbeck has witnessed tremendous expansion and improvement in the School System since he came here in 1936. At that time, Mr. Mon- beck’s time was occupied by his posi- tion of teaching principal at Main School. At first, he taught all subjects of eighth grade, but as the school sys- tem grew, and adopted the system of departmentalizing, he devoted his ca- reer to teaching sixth, seventh, and eighth grade mathematics. Mr. Monbeck became an eye- witness to the building of Lincoln School in 1946, which also required his services as principal. Serving as principal of both Main School and Lincoln School, his work load became too tedious and needed changes were apparent. Thus in 1950, Lon Monbeck became the first superintendent of schools in Highland, Indiana. Mr. Monbeck acquired the rudi- ments of his education at Columbia University, where he also attained his Master of Arts degree. Advanced courses in School Administration at the Uni- versity of Chicago, Indiana University and the University of Michigan aided Mr. Monbeck in supervising the many people under him and helped him in making pertinent decisions. Teaching at Monticello High School and Roches- ter City Schools constituted Mr. Mon- beck’s teaching career before he came to Highland. Similar to other towns, the High- land School System experienced its growing years between 1953 and 1964. Orchard Park School, built in 1953 started a growing chain of schools. Johnston School, constructed in 1955 followed, along with the building of the Senior High School in 1957. Two years later, construction was completed on Southridge Elementary School. Over- flowing its boundaries, the High School needed more room, thus, in 1963 the Junior High was built. Commencing Highland’s progress, temporarily, Mil- dred Merkley Elementary School was established. Mr. Monbeck played the major role of the man behind the scenes — an important character in the growth of every school system. Thirty years of precise guiding and dedicated service by Mr. Monbeck has given the Highland community a reason to start and continue a phenom- enal growth of education — so necessary to our expanding society in a changing modern world. Measuring its growth, Mr. Monbeck former superintendent, feels Highland has come a long way since 1936, when it only had one grade school. More desk work was one of the many changes brought about by Mr. Monbeck’s promotion in 1950. 128 Advertisements Pepsi enhances people all over the nation; it’s Pepsi “for those who think young” “Come alive, you’re in the Pepsi generation!” Sound familiar?

Bottom: Near- ing completion, the long-awaited ad- dition begins to take its final form. The demands of knowledge in a growing community were adequately met with the construction of the new wings. Index 165 A bird’s-eye-view of Highland reveals the fantastic growth of the community and the school system. Spreading out over the campus, the Senior High School grew in size with the addition of two wings to meet a steadily expanding enrollment. Growing pains hit Highland during the past year as the population of the community took a giant step. Fields were cleared, streets were paved, houses and schools were built as many new faces entered the town. Preparing for tomorrow, High- land’s youth crowded into over-filled classrooms, awaiting the completion of the two-wing addition to the Senior High School. The buzzing of saws filled the expanded industrial art workshops; new classrooms were built to accommodate the increasing interest in the business fields; and an improved cafeteria sprang up to meet the de- mands of a growing enrollment. Wid- ening interests in varying fields brought about the organization of new clubs and improvements in the athletic pro- gram. Fulfilling the responsibilities of a growing community, Highland has expanded to meet the challenge of the future and the increasing demands of continuing progress. 1966 Acknowledgements Expansion and growth charac- terized the 1965-66 school year of High- land High School, and the seventh volume of the SHIELD was included in its boundaries. SHIELD sales boomed from the regular 850 books to 900 books. The concise advice and knowledge of Mr. Ed Hackelman, area sales representative, aided SHIELD solicitors in selling books to inquisitive teachers and students. By printing this book American Yearbook Company of Hannibal, Missouri, marked its presses with the seventh volume of the SHIELD. Co-ordinating colors of loden green and a special applied light green characterized the la van tine grain cover of the 1966 SHIELD. Mr. Jack Bundy counseled senior Karen Eldredge, de- signer of the cover, in the arrangement and appearance of the cover. Mr. Bundy represents the sales division of the S. K. Smith Company of Chicago, Illinois, processors of the cover. Creating consistency throughout the book, Baskerville type was used for the copy. The body copy is set in 10 point Baskerville. The headlines are set in 24 point Baskerville italic and the captions are set in 8 point italic. The bulk of activity shots, or- ganization shots and group shots were taken by Walinger Studios of Chi- ’ 1966 Editor-in- Chief Copy Editor Co-Layout and Art Editor Co- Layout and Art Editor Photography Editor Advertisement Photography Co-ordinator Head Photographer Business Manager Advertising Manager Sales Manager Associate Copy Editor Opening Section Editor Sports Editor Organization Editor Personalities Editor Advertising Editor Index Editor A dvisor cago, Illinois, as well as expertly styled senior portraits. Interstate Studios of Indianapolis, Indiana, expertly photo- graphed the underclassmen pictures. Several action shots and sports pictures were taken by dedicated student pho- tographers, Ross Gambril, Jerome Di- jak, Ward Cunningham and Bill Rezny. Novelty and diversity were donned on the 1966 SHIELD by the usage of three column and LOOK and LIFE layout, enabling its staff to print more pictures and copy on the same amount of pages to make this year’s approach to the yearbook new and di- versified, enhancing the unique changes of Highland High School.

The dream of being editor and the full realization of this great re- sponsibility was not to be met in full force till months later. While at summer institution I began, to gain insight into all the work an editorship involved. Theme selec- tion, ladder planning, lay-out design- ing, and picture correlating were all packed into the two week course which was of great assistance to me. As I walked through the class- room door at the beginning of the school year, I realized that this entire class effort would be toward the production of a book — my book, the 1966 SHIELD. The effort would truly have to be one Filled with anticipation, Karen Eldredge, Editor-in-Chief of the 1966 SHIELD, proudly looks forward to the seventh volume of Highland Senior High School’s yearbook, characterized by growth. of the entire class in order to make this book the best book ever. Soon staffs were functioning and plans were in the final draft for the rapidly approaching first deadline. The final week was characterized, as usual, by late work sessions and skipped lunches. However, it was soon under our belt, and the next six were pressing onward. As editor I shall never forget the thrill of opening our first page proofs and finally, the joy and pride as I held the first copy of the 1966 SHIELD. Above all I would like to extend my deepest thanks to my staff and our advisor. This book has truly been the key for developing patience, responsi- bility, organization, co-operation, and drive, in preparation for future leader- ship. Editor , 168
