We started as two small rural schools of eight grades. ContinuingLto grow, we decided to con- solidate. This has lasted through many trials and has proved to be the best for our situation. Since combining we have added on to provide better facilities for our growing society. Our school can be called a home for us as we spend nine months of the year in its halls and rooms, and make our friendships here. As it has been in the past, so it will remain in the future. Although our school will change even more during the ensuing years, through Co. reorganization, it will always remain the same for us. Through the years as we look back on the past, we will re- member our school the most. For the Seniors, the year of 1963 will be the most important and memorable.

Starting with first grade puppy love to senior romances, parties, proms, sports, and commencement all play import- ant parts in each one ' s life. To give a complete picture of school life, we will follow a day ' s footsteps of an average student at Huntertown High School. The morning first begins in the parking lot as the students arrive at school. These so-called automobiles range anywhere from a 1963 Super Sport to a 1949 Plymouth, but at least they get the students to their destination. For other students the trip to school means a ride on their favorite vehicle, the school bus. As the students get off the bus, they show such eagerness and anxiety as they look forward to a day at school. Monday morning finds the students in line to buy their lunch tickets. Mrs. Marshand gives out the tickets while Mr. Helm guards the money and makes sure no one gets a meal free for a fake absentee. The students then move on to their lockers to get their books before the first bell rings. The lockers also serve as a place to carry on their usual morning conversations of who had a date with whom the week-end before. After the first bell rings the students settle down to the day ' s routine. Some classes do not seem too exciting, but it all goes to make up one ' s edu- cation. There are always those few students that never seem to make it in time for the first bell. These so- termed late come rs wait in line for their late slips with excuses that vary from a broken alarm clock to a flat tire. As the bell rings at the end of the period, the stu- dents leave the room not a whole lot wiser, but a lot happier that that much of the day is through. The lunch line at noon fills the hall with mass confusion. Crowding is sometimes accomplished by the more skillful, but most of them are usually caught in the end by Mr. Helm or Mr. Gerard. fb - Noon-time activities include basketball, ping-pong, dancing, and just the fun of being together. The dances, just like the activities, range anywhere from a chalypso to the hitch-hiker. The Seniors who all worked so hard making their Senior cords are shown in this picture. They wore these to ballgames and various other places. Al- though a few of the colors ran and a few of the skirts shrank, they still drew a lot of attention from curious on-lookers. The Juniors especially were envious, but they ' ll have their chance next year. As the day wears on into the afternoon, the students seek refuge in the library. This serves as a place to get away from everything and concentrate on as- signments and homework. The students can now be seen going to their last period. Although they are weary from a day ' s work, they console themselves with the thought that this day will soon be over. When the last bell rings, the students quickly evacuate the building and get on their buses to go home. They now eagerly look forward to the activities that the night will bring. For some students that last bell does not mean a time to leave, but a time for after school meetings. Here, some of the Future Teachers of America dis- cuss plans for a future activitiy. ■ Night brings a time for relaxation and enjoyment. The students are not the only ones that enjoy such activities as a Beatnik Bop, as proved here. The teachers also enjoy it. This has been an arduous day, but things such as this make up for it j and the stu- dents anxiously await the next day to start all over again. A GUIDING LIGHT Mrs. Carol Gross, Guidance Director, has many duties to fulfill. She is always ready to help any- one with academic problems. In the Guidance office are sources of information on almost any career, college, or job which you might be interested in. A record of your work and tests are kept here also and may be refered to when wanting to know past scores or etc. Mrs. Gross is always there with her friendly smile to try to help you iron out any problems you might have. Don ' t be afraid to talk to her. That ' s what she ' s there for. Shown here are Mrs. Gross and Letetia Watts as they discuss one of the many colleges. Mrs. Gross has brochures from various colleges and universities throughout the United States. DOWN TO GRASS ROOTS These students are experimenting with different types of plant life in Botany class. Chemistry experiments are being conducted by members of the class. Square roots are now being challenged by this Freshman Algebra class. These girls are placing their daily assignments on the blackboard. 10 BASIS OF EDUCATION This Freshman English class studies the different parts of speech. They have reviewed that which they learned in the grades. These Sophomores are engrossed in their English assignments. They are studying the art of Caesar. Mr. Helm instructs these Juniors in correct usage of verbs. This year the Juniors wrote a term paper on Medical Care for the Aged. 11 COMMERCE AND BUSINESS G £ This class has learned the fundamentals of bookkeeping. Mr. Sloffer teaches them the proper procedure of bookkeeping. These Typing I students have learned speed and efficiency under Mr. Leberum. These girls in Shorthand class have mastered the new way of writing. They are in- structed by Mr. Fox. 12 LEARNING FROM THE PAST Learning the counties in the state are part of the activities of this Citizenship class. These Freshman are learning the importance of good citizenship. Studying the manner of human behavior is the activity of this sociology class. Learning the different types of legal matters is part of Business Law class under the direction of Mr. Roberts. Government, the subject required by all seniors is being studied in this picture. The studying of the government of the state is also part of this course. 13 ART APPRECIATION Art is a way of expressing inter- thoughts. These students also experiment with different color techniques. Mechanical drawing is being done by this class. These boys attempt various types of drawings. The Jr. High Choir is under the direction of Mrs. Learned. This Spring they presented their annual concert. This is just one class having one class in their music course of twelve weeks. 14 PHYSICAL FITNESS In Health and Safety class, First Aid is one of the most important parts. The students are taught all the fundamentals and skills of First Aid and practice on each other. Health and Safety is re- quired of any student not taking Home Ec. I II. Mr. Gorsuch sees to it that the pupils learn the right technique and know how to use it. It seems that Sophomore Dick Schilling has a broken arm but it will heal fast with that splint on it. The object of this game is to keep the ball in the circle or something, anyhow its not hard to get knocked out of the game. Physical Education is another required subject. It is for the good of the student of course, and helps keep you trim and healthy so you won ' t need to use the things you learn in Health class. Mrs. Learned and Mrs. Von Deylon see to it that the girls do their 40 push ups every day and stay physically fit for a hard day of school. 15 VOCATIONS TEACH Boys 1 physical education is for the same purpose as the girls. However the boys need a little more energy so they have to work a little harder. Mr. Gorsuch makes them love it though so they don ' t mind. Drafting and Shop are closely related and here we see a stu- dent working very hard to get a project done. These classes are taught by Mr. Haynes and Mr. Hall. Agriculture is an important course in the vocational cur- riculum at Huntertown. Many of our boys who do not go i to college and some who do may very well spend a great deal of the rest of their lifes on a farm. 16 LINGUISTS LEARN Speech is the course which was once considered by some to be a snap. They received a rude awakening when they were faced with preparing a 5 to 10 minute speech once a week. Although the course is not Speech and Drama anymore, Drama is still in- cluded for a 6 week period and has proved to be lots of fun. Mr. Rapp helps this along. Mary Tilden appears to be giving her anecdote of the week. Although Huntertown doesn ' t offer too many foreign languages, Spanish is given along with Latin. Mrs. Donna Duff teaches the Espanol. Here she is showing Sherri Simon how to conjugate a verb. Speech and Hearing is one of the courses we don ' t hear too much about unless we are involved in them. It is taught by Mrs. Betty Stewart while another corrective course Remedial Reading is taught by Mrs. Nondes Aldred. Kibby and Gary are working hard to pronounce the words just right. 17 PLANS FOR HOMEMAKING Homemaking is one of the most im- portant occupations that a person can take up. Almost everyone is involved in homemaking sometime in their lives. Even the boys, as they will be building or buying their homes some- day, besides helping to pick out the furniture. Family Relations, taught by Mrs. Margaret Hostetler is the course in which the boys too, take part in planning a house and a budget. Jim Freeman seems a little more interested in the camera than he is in what his kids will look like twenty years from now and if they ' ll behave so nicely like he does. Home Economics is the class for girls only, although I imagine if the boys were given a chance they could pro- bably sew pretty well too. Both Mrs. Hostetler and Mrs. Ruth VonDeylon teach Home Ec. as it is one of our most important vocational courses. These seventh graders only get twelve weeks for Home Ec. but they enjoy it while they ' re there. These girls appear to be studying very hard. 18 ATHLETICS 5514-4 STANDING, L to R.: Mike Warner, Mike Downs, Tom Stonestreet, Tom Freck, Larry Sordelet, Mike Fitch, Gary Clark, Bob Yates, Steve Ruhl, Steve Freck, Colin Aukerman, Larry Gordon, IN FRONT, Bruce Dunwiddie, Coach Small, Jim Green. WILDCATS ' TALES The ' 63 Wildcats clawed their way to a 10-10 overall record and compiled a 4-2 ACAC record which netted Huntertown second place. Despite the fact that the Cats ' record isn ' t impressive, the cagers from H.H.S. weren ' t pushovers in any- one ' s book. It took the Railroaders of Garrett three overtimes to win from the Cats, and Monreville needed an overtime to claim an upset. The netmen ' s luck wasn ' t all bad; they can count some impressive victories. The Cats lacerated the Auburn Red Devils 72 to 68, but the season ' s biggest win came when Leo ' s Lion ' s fell before H.H.S. and lost their bid for an unblemished ACAC record. Tournament play was somewhat disappointing as the Wildcats were defeated by New Haven in the second game of the County Tourney after taking out Woodlan in the first game. In the Sectional Harlan ' s Hawks nipped the Cats in the last minutes to end the Cats ' basketball season. The season ' s honors weren ' t at an end, however. Mike Fitch, the most valuable players, was chosen as a member of the ACAC first team; and Steve Freck, free throw champ, was placed on the ACAC third team. With the season ended and the cheers faded, the players and fans wait impatiently for next season to unfold and the excitment to begin. Until then, the memories of this season remain brightly alive. 20 The team gets support. The Cats take a warm-up. The team ' s loyal supporters watch expectantly as their Wildcats take their practice shots and get warmed-up for the game. As the games moves into high gear, the spectators aren ' t disappointed. The contest is a skillful battle of ball-handling and marksmanship. All four quarters are packed with action and excitment as hLRS. ' s mighty Wildcats give their all in an effort to win. At the final gun, no matter what the score, the fans have been treated to a good game. Huntertown ' s team seldom lets them down, filling the game with tight defense and deceptive offense.

Managers- widdie. -John Buckles, Jim Green, Bruce Dun- Under the capable training of coaches Small and Gorsuch the boys developed the essentials of a good team. Good managers too are important to a team. At H.H. S. these duties are ably taken care of by Jim Green, Bruce Dunwiddie, and John Buckles. Good floor leadership is imperative to a success- ful team. This year ' s co-captains, Colin Auker- man and Tom Stonestreet, did a good job leading the team. Captains — Colin Aukerman, Tom Stonestreet. There is always a player who can be counted on; he will come through in every game no matter what the odds or the performance of the rest of the team. This year it was Mike Fitch, the Cats ' Junior center, who was voted the most valuable player. Since Mike will be back for the ' 64 season, great things are expected from him and the talented players who will return with him. These then, are the Cats ' important people; they are important on anyone ' s team.

Composed almost entirely of underclassmen, the little Cats possess some valuable height up front and some deadly shooters from the outside. Next year some of the boys could be expected to move up to the Varsity and lend some added punch to the Wildcats ' attack. WF.

This year ' s Freshman Cats showed a lot of promise for the next three years, as they captured first place in their tournament and netted a 14-2 won, loss record. On their way to the tournament championship, the boys defeated Leo 37-33 and Monroeville 38-27. The two losses were to Fort Wayne Central and Bishop Luers. Due to the successful season the Frosh will be worth watching in future years. Below, The Frosh team ' s -trophey.

H.H. S. ' s baseball team turned in a better than .500 record in ' 63, winning 4 and losing 3. Most of their games featured heavy slugging as many times the scores ran up into the teens. This year two players were chosen for the most valuable honor. They are both Juniors, Tom Freck and Dale Gongeware, and of course will be back next year. Another good year should be expected from both boys. WE THEY 6 17 Woodlan . . . . . . . . 7 Areola . . . . 3 3 Leo . . . . 7 13 . ... 12 15 4 Hoagland . . . 2 .... 10 % 26 Laf.

Huntertown ' s harriers had a good season this year, winning five of ten meets and capturing the ACAC crown for the third year in a row. The Cats seem to have created a monopoly on the title. Wayne Hollopeter, the talented Junior runner, was voted the most valuable cross country man for the ' 63 campaign. Wayne is already a member of the Cross Country ' s 100 Mile Club and is expected to do a good job again next season.

Huntertown ' s thinlies racked up a good season in ' 63, smashing two school records and one county ' record, winning 6 and missing 3 meets, and placing second in the county meet. Mike Warner broke the school record for the 440 by shaving the time to 55 seconds. Warner, Ruhl, Hollopeter, Yates dashed home in 3:44:1 to smash the mile relay record; and big Mike Fitch tossed the shot-put 46 ' 8 to erase the old county mark. Dennis Ford, Sophomore high and low hurdles runner, was chosen as the most valuable. More good running is expected from Denny before he graduates in ' 65. t ijh ' % — - IJ Ji Dennis Ford, Most Valuable.

Huntertown ' s Stan Scott was the medalist with a score of 91 . Mike Warner, a Senior, was voted this season ' s most valuable team member. Only Mike and Steve Turner graduate, so the prospects for a good year on the links looms as a possibility for ' 64.

This year ' s team didn ' t do very well, but it ' s looking forward to next year. The girls ' volleyball team, the only organized girls ' sport, didn ' t do well in its tournament either; but since most of the girls will play again next year, they are expected to improve.

The girls ' singles champ, Alexia Spitler, was a runner-up; and Huntertown ' s mixed doubles champs, Ron Schlatter and Linda Gump, took the second spot too. 30 INTRAMURAL FIRST COLUMN, Top to Bottom--Phil Furman, Allen Wonderly, Stan Scott, Jim Aven, Larry Sible, Lee Frazier, SECOND COLUMN--Dave Rudolph, Tim Ohneck, Tom Kreigh, Ron Schlatter, Mike Pepe, THIRD COLUMN--Larry Hess, John Bobay, Roger McBride, Steve Tieman, Tom Thompson,!

The boys that play intramural ball are Huntertown ' s noon sportsmen. They play a regular schedule of games sometimes playing twice a week, sometimes not at all during a week. The program operates on a league basis in which there is a champion team, depending upon which team wins the most games. The Noon Wildcats ' season is roughly equivalent to that of the inter-school athletes and generates a lot of excitement for both the players and the spectators who line the bleachers. An intramural game is well worth watching. One of these games can contain as much action and good basketball as a big-time game. It ' s a real pleasure for an avid basketball fan to sit in the stands and watch these boys work. 31 ALL THE WILDCATS ROAR The Cats and Cubs wait to grab a rebound. Mike Warner gets ready to tee-off. The all-round Cat, Mike Warner, accepts the all-sports trophey. Ping Pong becomes the noon sport. Sam Sloffer clears the bar with ease. 32 , J ACTIVITIES MOM ' S KIDS FRONT ROW, left to right: Mrs. Learned; H. Ott, J. Bower, E. Jackson, B. Smith, P. Kasson, N. Miller, E. Dixon, L. Hyndman, C.

More people than ever attended contest this year backed with encouragement from Mom Learned. She put in a great deal of work helping us give our first musical, Mr. Crane of Sleepy Hollow which was a smashing success. 34 The Madrigal is a group (made up of only Seniors this year) which sings 14- 16 century songs.

The staff members were a group of robust energy-filled, willing-to-work stu- dents who worked diligently on preparing this year ' s yearbook. Part of the labor which goes into the planning and preparing of a yearbook is drawing the dummy, taking all the pictures, drawing the layouts, cropping pictures, writing copy, and worst all meeting the deadline! $3.50 is little to ask for a $5.00 yearbook! ! ! ! The brains of the organization. Sponsor--Mr. Arthur Fox Editor — Nancy Miller 40 BLACK § GOLD FLASHES NEWS Never missing a deadline and interesting copy are the main problems of a newspaper. This year ' s paper hasn ' t seemed to have been bothered by little things like that. Always on time and with something of interest for everyone, the Black Gold has been a smashing success. Many extra hours went into it to make everyone happy that they bought a subscription. With so many under- classmen on the staff, they should be able to carry on the good reputation.

Freshman cheerleaders are (left) Cindy Benward, and Ruthie Dickes. 47 IKE CRANE OF SLEEPY HOLLOW Make-up is an important part of a play and this one was no exception to that rule. A Musical Comedy in Two Acts Book by Lyrics by Music by Al Simmons Elsie Simmons Larry Wagner CAST Ike Crane Jerry Mackel Kathy Van Tassel Nancy Miller Tom Bones Dave Jetmore Dean Roberts Jan Bower Vicki Schultz Dean Alston Mike Warner Dottie Sue Benward Mimi Anita DeVeny Ellen Ringler Gladys Carolyn Nofzinger Sharon Ohneck Jimmy and Hugh Sam Gloyd Dave Rudolph The story was about a man named Ike Crane who came to Sleepy Hollow, an all- girls ' school to teach dancing. He falls for the Music teacher, Kathy Van Tassel. The gym teacher is also gone over Kathy. His name is Tom Bones. Thus the plot develops as a take-off of Washington Irving ' s Legend of Sleepy Hollow. There are some nice songs and a lot of good clean humor. Tom Bones and his girls ' gym class have Just Done A Mile Around the School. Ichabond ' s boys say they Didn ' t Do It. Kathy and Ike do a soft-shoe. 48 JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Junior-Senior Banquet was held at the Hobby Ranch House this year. The meal was served family style and was enjoyed by everyone attending. The speaker for the evening was Mr. R. Nelson Snider, retiring principal of Fort Wayne South Side. The title of this speech was the Anatomy of Humor. He kept us all in stitches for 20 minutes. Mrs. Loyal Yoder played the organ all during the meal. Especially enjoying the evening were these sophisticated Seniors in whose honor the banquet was given. Those being easily seen are: Carol Allen, Rosemary Garman, Janet Clayton, Sharon Ohneck, and Carolyn Nofzinger. 49 MAGIC MOMENTS Magic Moments was the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom this year. It was held on May 11 at the Chamber of Commerce from 9 till 12:30 a.m. Music was provided by the Sophisticates of Swing, a popular band around town. Decorations included green and white streamers completely around the walls, pink angel hair clouds and gold stars. Tables sat around the outside and the candles on the them provided the light for dancing. Punch and cookies were served in the outer lounge. The big point of the evening came around 11:00. The court was named and it con- sisted on Colin Aukerman, Sue Witham, Mike Warner, Carol Allen, Tom Stonestreet, and Carolyn Nofzinger. The KING AND QUEEN were SHARON OHNECK GARY CLARK. 50 ADMINISTRATION THEY SHOW US THE WAY Mr. Russell Steiner, controls our activities the same as the others in the county, through his job as Supt. of the County Schools.

STANDING are: Mr. Fred Dickes, and Mr. Walter Gump. The supervising Principal, Mr. Paul H. Gerard, has the hardest job of all. That of being a disciplinarian and a friend to the students.

These people work hard for us each in his own way. Not very often do we show our appreciation to them for giving of their time which they could probably use for other things. Let ' s be a little kinder from now on to these people who do their best for us. The cafeteria cooks. J HUM! The bus drivers are always there. Every morning and every afternoon. Too early sometimes it seems but always there to get us to school on time. Mr. Mrs. Bailey spend their entire day cleaning our school for us and trying to make it a little more enjoyable for us to come to. There are other janitors too, who work evenings for us. 56 CLASSES ' 5%u KNOWLEDGE COMES, DAVID L.

Warner Phone 2643 Huntertown, Indiana CITADEL QUEEN This year the first annual Citadel Queen was chosen. This was done by the girls collecting votes on the basis of 5 ? per vote. The candidates, one from each of the top four grades were picked by the Citadel staff. The candidates, their grade, and their place are as follows: Pat Fitch, Soph., 3rd runner-up; Sue Witham, Sr., 2nd runner-up; Jenny Clark, 1st runner-up, Junior; and the Queen, Nancy Pulver, a fresh- man. The crowning took place at the Citadel dance in the Queen ' s honor. The money taken in at the dance and in the contest went towards pay- ing for the ' 63 Citadel. Nancy Pulver, is a sweet, well-liked Freshman, who really worked hard to make our first queen a really worthy one. This Page Sponsored by KYDER STUDIOS. 100 JL
