1968 IONIAN Ionia High School Ionia, Michigan Table of Contents Introduction 3 Student Activities 4 Organizations 24 Sports 46 Underclassmen 76 Seniors 96 Senior Activities 122 Faculty 126 Faculty Index 147 Advertising 148 Index 172 Editor’s Backword 176 2 Youth in Action Have you ever noticed how strange a school building is when there isn’t anyone in it? The true spirit of the school is gone, this is the spirit that is created by the lively students that clamor through the halls every day. Yes, when school is in session, “Youth in Action” can be seen everywhere. In the halls, they laugh and talk and shuffle their feet going to classes. In the classrooms, the teachers instruct their eager minds, and in the gym, they help make their bodies strong. Beginning this year, students had more of an opportunity to learn by using our new science wing. The spirit of the students doesn’t end with the dismissal bell or in the classrooms. Many organizations are established in Ionia High School and many of them are involved in service projects in addition to learning about different aspects of life and having fun. “Youth in Action” can also be seen at school, functions. The games that our teams participate in help promote good sportsmanship and school spirit. This year the players did a fine job of playing successfully and the fans backed them all the way. Dances are a way of letting off steam built up by many hours of study. They also help the students become more sociable. The fine arts are introduced by the concerts put on by the band, the art exhibit, and the plays. The spring play. West Side Story, was the first to be produced in the new Watt auditorium. Ionia High School has a large graduating class every year. The seniors are young men and women who will no longer be a part of this school after graduation, but they can look back and remember the spirit that they created; they were the “Youth in Action” of Ionia High School. 3 Activities Classes are not the only important part of a teenager's high school career. For as classes give him a chance to improve and gain skill in the area of education, the student's activities give him a chance to improve socially. The activities in a student’s life vary from a casual gathering in the hall to discuss the latest gossip, to the intricate affairs such as the Christmas dance and prom. Each activity has its own purpose. Some of them allow the students a chance to let off pressure which has built up; others are for pure enjoyment. Some activities teach sportsmanship and fair play, while others give the students a chance to accept responsibility and make use of it. Whatever the activity, and whatever its purpose, it is productive and vital, for in the world of today knowledge is not enough. Students must be confident and poised; this can be attained only by active participation in the many phases of student life. : Working or Playing, All Are Different Too often individuality is confused with non-conformity. You do not have to forsake all activities common to other students to become an individual. You must think for yourself and make your own decisions. If you do this you will be an individual. Many of the students of IHS dress alike and do the same things, but this does not mean that they are not individuals. They think for themselves and don’t follow the crowd. They have their own likes and dislikes; they have their own hopes and their own goals. Their individuality can be seen in their activities and in their studies. Some students dance, some sing, and others do neither. Some students like school and others don’t. Different students have different courses of study. All of these preferences are expressions of individuality. A ny comments on the scenery, Fritz? Go, Don, go! The stage lights for the new auditorium are put carefully in place. Mr. Hammond watches over his government class. 6 What Is Conformity? The movie makers! Modesty is a virtue, but . . . ! Too much to eat? p c Spotlight members seek guidance from Mrs. Maguey. 7 Satisfying customers is part of the fob. says Polly Confidence Grows in Related Training Every school is established to give young people the chance to get an education, but Ionia High also gives seniors a chance to apply the knowledge they obtain to practical situations. By joining the related training program at school, seniors are placed in jobs, if they don’t already have one, and are given the opportunity to meet people and gain experience in various vocations. Besides gaining this valuable experience, they also earn money to use for college, or whatever they prefer. The man who is responsible for getting reports of the students’ progress from the employers, is Mr. Michael Brindle. Co-workers, Jean and Bruce pass the lime of day. Scandinavia Sends Three Exchange Students Relaxing at home, Karen cuddles the kitten. Tom Burgstrom, a 16 year old from Koping, Sweden, spent this year with his American brothers, Steve White and Dennis Eagle. He joined the Key club and displayed an avid interest in golf. Tom is known at his home for playing his guitar. He is very fond of both folk and pop music. He also enjoys skiing. He remarked that school in America was easier than is Sweden. He also noted that Swedish teen-agers have more freedom than American teen-agers. Undecided on a career as yet, Tom plans to enter a college in Sweden after graduation from high school. From Berkerod, Denmark, came Karen Poulsen to live with Nancy Wilson’s family. Karen was a member of FNC club and participated in extracurricular activities. The first thing to strike her attention at Ionia High was the friendly relationships existing between the faculty and students. In Denmark, Karen enjoys skiing, cooking, badminton, and sewing. Upon graduation, Karen states that she would like to become a nurse. Tom's interests range from music to golf. Ulrika's glowing smile and peppy personality are well known to students at school. From Kalmar, Sweden, came Ulrika Linden who lived with the Kopchick family. Ulrika displayed an interest in everything and would like to wait a while before deciding on a career. In Kalmar, she is a member of the music, sailing, and tennis clubs. She also enjoys horseback riding and skiing. One difference between American and Swedish school systems is that in her school in Kalmar, free lunches at the taxpayers’ expense are served. Ulrika plans on attending college after graduating from high school. 9 Happiness Is Homecoming 1968 Senior and freshmen representatives await the crowning of the king and queen. “Happiness Is . . the theme of Ionia High School’s 1967 Homecoming was inaugurated in a blaze of glory as Ionia continued its winning streak by defeating Grand Ledge. Before the game. Queen Anne Kopchick and King Richard Gregory with their court paraded around the field. Members of the court were: seniors; Debbie Van-Houten and Jim Westbrook, juniors; Kris Johnson and Denny Kimble; sophomores; Debe Perrien and Brian McPherson, and freshmen; Diane Stebbins and Denny Bledsoe. Classes and clubs which entered floats in the parade, labored long and hard on their original creations. The first place winner was “Happiness is Licking the Comets,” the junior class entry. The senior class entry placed second with, “Happiness is Raiding the Comets.” After the game, at the dance, the royal couple passed through the honor guard and ascended their throne. They were crowned, according to tradition by Student Council president, Alice Montgomery and then officially started the dance by leading those in attendance into dance. Like Cinderella’s Ball, the Homecoming festivities ended at the magical stroke of Midnight. Dehe and Brian pass down the aisle. 10 Seniors work on their float entitled, “Happiness is Raiding the Comets.” Anne and Richard stand beneath a banner which proclaims the event. Homecoming court stands before an admiring audience. 11 Really Glenda, is your answer off that much? Moments of Fun Are Part of the Day Just another obstacle to go around between classes, huh? Just another “goof-off” day in P.E. class. 12 Spirit Week Kindles Affection for IHS The student council sponsored “Spirit Week” which was observed February 26 through March 1. at IHS. An innovation last year, “Spirit Week” is a week specially designed to promote school spirit. This year, a different event was scheduled for each day. Monday was set aside for a contest to see which class had the most students registering for the bus to the game. On Tuesday, the students were asked to wear the school colors, blue and white. Wednesday was school improvement day and the classes competed to see which could collect the most litter in specially assigned trash boxes. Thursday brought a contest to see which class could make the best and most posters promoting school spirit. Friday, students wore black to mourn for the poor Hastings Saxons who met their doom that night. A pep assembly was held at noon and students took part in the jug contest. “Spirit Week” was a success for student, teachers, and the team! Really Slmron. you can’t win for your class that way! The noon hour pep assembly aroused spirit for that night. John and Dave wonder if the Juniors will ever make it. Anybody walking in study hall was reminded what week it was. The result of Spirit Week: Victory. 13 Spruces and Snowflakes Glimmer The Ionia High School gymnasium was transformed into a beautiful land of “Silver Frost” for the 1967 senior Christmas dance on December 16. In a romantic setting of fragrant spruce Christmas trees decorated with silver ornaments, couples danced under dimmed lights to music played by a group from Western Michigan University, called the Jeanie Mahler Quartet. Others relaxed and enjoyed punch and cookies on the balcony. The supplies for the punch and cookies were donated by members of the senior class and the refreshments were served by the parents of class members. Those parents who helped were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Mirzoian, Mr. and Mrs. Howard LaPointe, Mrs. Kip Carleton, Mrs. Kenneth Rudolph, Mrs. Fred Thwaites, and Mrs. Wayne Brownell. The success of the dance was due to the effort put forth by the chairman of the dance, Brenda Furman. The co-chairman, Anne Kopchick, also devoted some of her time to the preparation of the decorations. Couples dance under a profusion of delicate snowflakes. Bill Simpson and Barb Norris relax before a wall mural. 14 in Silver Frost Brenda and Laura put up the last piece of scenery and everything is ready. Eager young men buy tickets from senior class advisor, Michael Brindle. The Jeanie Mahler Quartet provides the music for the gala occasion. 15 The cast of the Fall Play Man in the Dog Suit.” Clever Lines Brought a Laugh a Minute Cast Martha Walling Alice Montgomery Litty Gaxton Dcannc Dinchart Eilcin Stoddard Jayne F.ldridge Mrs. Louisa Stoddard Debe Hawkins Oliver Walling Fritz Thwaites Harry Gaxton Doug Johnson George Stoddard Gary Mirzoian Stewart Stoddard Evan Macfarlane Anthony Roberli Richard Hanson Mr. Beal John Clorc Director Raymond L. Monte Student Director Janet Sage Fritz just won't ever be the same after this! Each year the drama department of Ionia High School alternates between a drama and a comedy for its fall production. This year the choice turned to the lighter side in the presentation of “The Man in the Dog Suit.” The play, written by Albert Beich and William H. Wright, concerns a man who is unable to cope with the problems of living until he dons a dog costume and suddenly finds the security to face the world. The play, with a cast of ten characters, was directed by Raymond Monte, and represented his 26th production as drama coach at Ionia High. It was presented in the round November 16, 17 and 18, and marked the final use of the gymnasium stage for play production at IHS. Alice and Evan are going over one of their heated dialogues.

As was suggested by the Spanish theme, the couples in attendance were ushered into a setting of twinkling stars and dangling pinatas by sophomore servers dressed as Spanish peasants. Adding to the gaiety of the atmosphere were Spanish guitars and sombreros, donkeys and an old fashioned Spanish veranda where the orchestra was. The couples danced in all graciousness to the Spanish music. On the balcony, many relaxed for a moment to enjoy the refreshments and to marvel at the breath-taking decor of the dance floor, which was set up as a Spanish courtyard. The Prom was headed by co-chairmen Darrell Pierce and Dave Drake. Committee chairmen were: Alice Montgomery, decorations; Karen Klein, invitations; Brenda Furman, refreshments and sophomore servers; and Doug Johnson, sophomore servers. The Prom was planned by the Junior class months in advance and preparations were carried on not only by the committee chairmen themselves but also by a great number of interested classmates. It was through this zealous preparation that the beautiful “Evening of Romance,” was brought about. Couples enter the gym transformed into a Spanish Courtyard. 20 a Romantic Setting Faculty members ask, “Can these people really be the students that we teach every day?” Mr. Gary Kilborn and Steve Watt experiment with decorations. Superintendent Robert Boyce leads the prom-goers into the traditional grand march. 21 This Was the Year That Was for Sports Last year’s baseball team started the victory streak by winning the conference champion title. The football team followed by also capturing the conference champ title with a 7-1 record. Coach Kohl off celebrated his 100 th victory this season. 22 Hammond won the 154 pound regionals. Jim Zeigler, the talented senior of the gymnastics team, contributed to Ionia's placing first in the conference. The basketball team were quite elated about winning two trophies this year. They were champs of both the conference and the region. 23 Organizations Each year, Ionia High School witnesses more and more students surging through its halls. With more students each year, there are more widely diversified areas of interest. Ionia High School students are fortunate in that they are offered such a great variety of activities to participate in; there is a club for practically every person’s particular taste. Athletes, students with professional goals, students with professional goals, students interested in contributing service to the school, and students with high scholastic ability can fulfill their interests by joining or gaining acceptance into the many clubs and organizations at IHS. More and more, clubs arc being formed each year to meet the growing demands of the student body. This year, two clubs, the Ski Club and the Chess Club were organized for interested students. 25 Front row: D. Johnson, C. Carleton, A. Montgomery, G. Dawson, F. Thwaites. Row 2: F. Dunn, S.

Student Council Plans New Activities 26 Ronnie Munn, professional trampoline expert, and his wife perform at a school assembly. Determination was the key to the success of this year’s Student Council. Nothing proved insurmountable. The accomplishments of the three major commit-tees-activities, school improvement, and noon hour-surpassed those of any in past years. The activities committee expressed outstanding creativity in preparing its successful 1967 Homecoming. Something new in the form of a student-faculty board, challenged the fortitude of the school improvement committee. A successful noon hour study room was one project of the noon hour committee along with the expansion of the intramural sports program. Profits were gained in a number of traditional ways including the always festive carnival and through the sale of IHS bumper stickers. Many problems were placed before and taken care of by the Council. Among these were the replacement of the gymnasium P.A. system equipment, and doing away with the littering, loitering, and damages in the halls. Through the combined efforts of the officers and representatives, the 1967-68 Student Council has taken another step toward the betterment of both the school as a whole, and the attitudes toward the school. Two clubs, the Chess Club and Ski Club, were formed by the council. Officers were Alice Montgomery, president; Doug Johnson, vice president; Glenda Dawson, secretary; Fritz Thwaites, treasurer.

The National Honor Society completed its sixth year of service. This year Mrs. Gladys Lehman has served as advisor. Officers include president, Terry Johnson; vice president, Bob North; secretary, Cheryl Edwards; treasurer, Linda Kruger; and student council representative, Anne Kopchick. Operating the bookstore was a major activity of the club. The bookstore was open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Members supervised the sale of books in their free time. A wide variety of literature was offered at the bookstore this year, ranging from the popular “Peanuts” series to many classics. The club also participated in supervising a noon-hour study room. For the first time the club presented a fifty dollar scholarship to one of its members. A goal achieved by the National Honor Society was the re-establishment of the National Junior Honor Society. A banquet was given by the National Honor Society on December 12, 1967. New members were initiated at this banquet. Qualifications sought in members of the National Honor Society are character, citizenship, leadership, service, and a 3.00 scholastic average. Front Row: L. Kreugar. C. Edwards, A. Kopchick. T.

Club Is in Action Again The National Junior Honor Society, under the guiding influence of Gladys Lehman, is composed of those students of this year’s sophomore class who have attained the highest standards of scholastic achievement, citizenship, and general school participation. The National Junior Honor Society, a branch of the National Honor Society of Ionia High School, was formed to give recognition to these deserving students with the hope that its membership will increase. In addition, since the scholastic abilities of high school students is often forgotten in the mass of sports and activities it enables us to instill work by all students toward higher levels of scholastic achievement. Officers in the club this year were president, Karla Laarman, vice president Dan Palmer, secretary, Chris Rendall, treasurer, Charles Hofbauer, and student council representative, Dorothy Piercefield. 29 Front row: D.

Girls Compete Fiercely in GAA Sports Girls seeking lively physical activity and a good time gather in the gym Thursday nights from 3:30 to 4:45. Sports such as volleyball, softball, basketball, bowling and gymnastics occupy the time of the girls. Teams are formed and tournaments are played. Each spring the girls invite their mothers to come to Mother-Daughter Night. Many mothers amaze themselves as well as their daughters by their surprising skill, but all have a good time. Leading the club this year as president is Carol Heppe. Other officers are: vice president, Sue Travis; secretary, Chris Reynolds; treasurer, Laurie Tupper; student council representative, Ruth Heppe. Faculty advisor is Miss Kay Arnson, who helps the girls and also participates. Catch it! Carrol and Ruth Heppe enjoy playing basketball, one of the many sports offered by GAA. Key Club Believes in Giving Charity The Key Club of Ionia High, sponsored by the Ionia chapter of the Kiwanis International, devotes its time to projects which benefit the school and the community. As one service, the club maintains a cloak room at school dances, basketball games, and other school activities. They have many money making projects such as candy sales and car washes. They also sponsor one of the postgame dances each year. For the last two years the club has earned money to sponsor a Korean orphan named I Made Armadja. Throughout the year, they send ten dollars a month to support the boy. The money is used to provide him with food, clothing, shelter, and an education. During the year the members also send him cards and letters. The club also donated an AM-FM radio to the pediatrics ward of the Ionia County Memorial hospital. The president of the club is Bob North; vice-president, Brian Rosecrance; secretary, Steve Lesky; treasurer, Doug Sprague; and student council representative, John Rasmussen. Gustav Beyer is the faculty advisor. Front row: Adviser G. Beyer, B. North, S. Leskey, J. Rasmussen, B. Rosecrance. Row 2: R. Westbrook, A. Robords, S.

This was another successful year for the Ionia High School debate team. Participating in the Ottawa-Kent League and Out-State League, the team gained the experience needed for successful debating. The team finished second in the Ottawa-Kent League and did much better on the Out-State League than in previous years. The proposition—Resolved: that Congress should establish uniform regulations to control criminal investigation procedures, challenged the minds of all debaters. Winning five of the six debates at the district level held at Muskegon, Steve Lesky, Nancy Wilson, Val Vance, and Alice Montgomery qualified for regional tournaments which were held at Central Michigan University. The team won at the regional event and went on to semi-finals held at Ann Arbor in February. The debators did something different this year; at the Christmas assembly, members posed on stage as the choir sang Christmas carols, thus adding a touch of realism and beauty to the occasion. The team lost only three senior debators this year, so the prospects for next year are better than ever. Front row: Advisor. Mr. Monte. N. Wilson. S. Lesky; Row burger. D. Croel: Row D. Lehman, V.

Preparation Begins Early in Forensics This year room 112 was a scene of lively confusion as members of the forensics team started to prepare speeches which they gave in the spring. A tremendous amount of effort was put into the preparation of speeches in order to be ready before the tournaments. Most sophomores kept themselves busy by memorizing speeches written by other people to recite in the Declamation category at the tournaments. Humorous and Serious Interpretative Readings were given by more advanced students. Being original and gifted at expressing ideas, some competed in the Original Oratory division. Quick thinking and a good knowledge of current events was needed for students who competed in the Extemporaneous Speaking division in which they only had forty-five minutes to prepare a speech on a given current issue. Some boys from Ionia also competed in Radio Commentary. Co-operation and a lot of work was put into the Group Reading project. All worked together to make this a successful year. Don and Fritz work intently on their speeches for forensics. 33 Mike Kistler and Sandy Horrocks check their assignments. Editor Pam Webster discusses the Spotlight with Carol Kidd. Weekly Deadlines Are Met Mrs. Magney assists everyone in journalism. This was a special year for “The Spotlight,” I.H. S.’s weekly newspaper, as it marked the tenth year of the existency of the journalism class. Since 1957-58 members of the class comprising juniors and seniors, have gathered the news, written and prepared the Spotlight weekly page, published on Saturday in the Daily Sentinel Standard. “The Spotlight keeps the I.H.S. student body, as well as the whole Ionia community informed on club, sport, student, and administrative activities that make up such a big part of school life. Under the direction of editor Pam Webster and co-editor Laura Hanline, this year’s journalism class diligently went about its job of reporting. Each week’s work began with the assignment of stories. On Wednesday all copy was edited and typed. Then on Friday a week’s work came to an end with checked galley proofs and the page lay-out being sent to the Sentinel Standard office for publication on Saturday. In addition, the journalism class also published “The Bulldog” periodically for the amusement of the students. Advisor is Mrs. Carol Magney. 34 We Present Many long hours were spent on preparing the 1968 Ionian, for distribution to the student body at the end of the year. Last spring, Claudia Carleton and Lois Haskins were named to head this year’s staff. In preparation, both attended a workshop at Michigan State University last summer. When school started, work began immediately. The editor, Claudia, named her staff and they started right in writing copy, making lay-outs, and taking and developing pictures. Organizing all the facts of a total school year and combining them into one attractive book was found to be a more involved operation than one could really imagine. The whole staff, with the endless help of Mrs. Magney, advisor, collaborated to make this the best yearbook that ever came out at Ionia High School. For months, the photographers roamed the halls, taking candid shots of individuals and groups, by the score. Long hours of weekend work, developing and printing, brought these out as sharp clear pictures of school life. The section editors were: Kris Ries, Student Life: Nancy Wilson, Organizations; Bruce LaPointe, Sports; Debbie VanHouten, Faculty; Brenda Furman, Underclassmen; Anne Kopchick, Seniors; photographers, Frank Buck and Brian Rosecrance; and Jean Brooks and Sandy Herald, Index. The two responsible for raising the money to make the annual possible were Gale Larson and Bob North. Claudia Carleton put forth one hundred per cent ft make the 1968 Ionian the best annual ever. euort ta Brian Rosecrance and Frank Buck worked many hours taking or developing pictures.

D. 36 and Practice In this year of technological advancement it is important to develop one’s talents early in life. In keeping with this concept I.H.S. has arranged a program that allows participants to develop their interests to the fullest extent. The I.H.S. band program teaches the students to appreciate-music and above all to recognize the value of a common effort in producing a job well done. To help in teaching the importance of group effort a number of concerts are given each year; members are called upon to help others learn the precision marching and dance routines that make up marching season. Charles Brill and Andrew MacFarland, I.H.S.’s two highly qualified musicians not only stress the importance of co-operative playing, but also stress the importance of individual practice. The annual solo and ensemble gives band members an opportunity to advance their individual playing and to develop a degree of showmanship. Senior band members continue to be proud of their new uniforms, which were purchased a couple years ago. The uniforms are worn with pride by all. Mr. McFarland directs the Junior Varsity Band.

The Business World Beckons to FBLA FBLA President Dianne Brownell holds the cake from initia lion held November 14. One of the important organizations at Ionia High School this past year has been the Future Business Leaders of America, which is organized to develop competent aggressive business leaders. The only requirement is that a member be enrolled in one of the many business courses offered at IHS. The candlelight initiation ceremony, which was held in the fall, was a meaningful event for F.B.L.A. members. Many attended two state conventions, one of which was held at Western Michigan University. Some also entered contests at the National Convention. Under the supervision of Mrs. Lucy Watters and Mr. John Forte, the club was engaged in many projects including the making of Thanksgiving favors for the patients at the Ionia County Memorial Hospital, a field trip, and the preparation for the National Convention. Money making projects to help finance the club included a concession and a candy and apple sale at the carnival. This year’s officers were Dianne Brownell, president; Barb Randall, vice president; Verna Cotter, secretary; Terry Gage, treasurer; Jan Dunn, student council representative. 38 Pep Club Boosts Students’ Spirits The main purpose of the Pep Club, to instill school spirit, was not a difficult task this year. With the aide of a new cheering freshman class and the gameward bound sophomores, juniors, and seniors, the Pep Club was in the background. It is a shame that there was so little cooperation, or willingness to work on their side. Too often the student body forgets that the signs of the Pep Club are a way to show our teams the spirit behind them. The Pep Club, under the supervision of Joy Hammond, supplied posters for all of the school’s athletic events. With this, also, we thank the Pep Club for a job well done and hope that we will again have the opportunity to cheer our teams on to victory next year. The officers this year include Lynn Harkness, president; Cindy Reynolds, vice president; Mary Montgomery, secretary; Terrie Kohloff, treasurer; Laurie Tupper, student council representative. Pep Club members, Dorothy Piercefield, Ann Sterner, Terry Kohloff, and Chris Rendall, display signs to boost school spirit. Front row: L. Tupper, T. Kohloff, L. Harkness, M.

Nursing As a Future Career Attracts Interest Tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students interested in investigating nursing as a possible future career have joined the Future Nurses Club. Girls who have assumed roles of leadership in their club are Lois Haskin, president; Judy Gustafson, vice president; Cindy Bierlein, treasurer; Kathy Watters, secretary; Mary Montgomery, student council representative; and Ruth Heppe, corresponding secretary. In October the club held its annual initiation ceremony, in which the officers were installed, new members were initiated, second year members were awarded pins, and the seniors were capped. The main service of the organization is to assist in the tray serving program at the Ionia County Memorial Hospital. Other areas of service include helping at the Charity Ball, contributing cookies to the Merry Christmas Club, raising the school’s interest in the TB program, yorking at the March of Dimes street sale. The Ionia F.N.C. is affiliated with the West Central League of Nursing and on the state and national level. This year’s West Central League Fall Rally was held at Grant, Michigan. The club also sponsored a post-game dance and had a Christmas caroling party. Officers look sharp in pink and while striped aprons. Teaching Isn’t That Bad a Job! Members of the Future Teachers of America at IHS spend the year finding out just what the teaching profession offers to them by means of experience, both their own and the information given to them by others. The club, which is sponsored by Mrs. Florence White, holds two business meetings monthly plus an additional program meeting. Programs this year included a trip to a FTA work shop at Central Michigan University, and a get acquainted party for new members. Mrs. Gladys Lehman of the English department spoke to the club about some of the problems and rewards of teaching. Members of the faculty were presented with apples during National Education Week. A number of members took part in the cadet teaching program. Cadet teaching offers members first hand experience at handling a classroom as well as taking a little load off the teacher’s shoulders. Through the Future Teachers club, members can make progress toward the final decision of whether or not to make teaching a career. The officers of the club this year include president, Michelle McCord; vice president. Sue Salazar; treasurer, Toni Clark; and secretary. Marcia Hague. FTA officers, Michelle McCord, Tony Clark, and Sue Salazar, conduct installation of new members. First row: Advisor, Mrs. White, M. McCord, T. Clark, Ingvartscn. J. Mirzoian. Row 3: M. Higgins, B.

Varsity Club Serves School It tj IONIA ALMA BULLD06S PANTHERS The new line up hoards pictured here are some of the numerous contributions made by the Varsity Club. One of the most outstanding clubs at Ionia High School is the Varsity Club. Composed of High School lettermen, this organization strives to be of service to the school and promote school spirit. The Varsity Club is well known for its generosity and willingness to purchase equipment for the betterment of the high school. New items purchased for the school this year were wrestling attachments for the scoreboard, lineup plaques for basketball, and weight training devices. One of their outstanding gifts is the annual grant of $50 scholarship to the most outstanding college-bound athlete. Under the supervision of Mr. Charles Kohloff, and president Don Bergon, vice president Bruce La Pointe, secretary-treasurer Dave Drake, and student council representative Terry Johnson, the club carried on numerous money making projects, among these were concession stands at home basketball games where thousands of bags of popcorn were sold, and concessions at home football games. This year the Varsity Club again sponsored a special basketball game between WJIM Disjockes and faculty. One of their most outstanding activities is the Sportsmans Ball attended by anyone who has participated in sports for one year or more. 42 IHS Singers Perform in Community The choir of I.H.S. can look back on this year as one of its best. Aided by a new electric accompaniment instrument that can sound like a piano or a guitar, a select group of students, called the I.H.S. Singers, performed for a number of groups throughout the community. Harold Freeman, the vocal director, says the reason for the choir’s success this year lies in the fact that the students got along so well together. The students say that they simply liked the music, particularly the selections by Peter, Paul, and Mary, which included such favorites as “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Puff the Magic Dragon.” In April the choir went to Western Michigan University for a “choir day.” The trip was well worth the extra effort it took to learn the new music. Choir officers this past year were Mary Millard, president; Bruce Croel, vice president; Jim Hotchkiss, treasurer; Cinde Bierlein, secretary; Joe Mejia, room-manager; Dave Baragrey, student council representative.

Deftness in Domestic Skills Aids in Service The Future Homemakers of America club offers students who have had one year of home economics the opportunity to learn more about a homemaker’s skills and social obligations. Under the guidance of their sponsors, Mrs. Patricia Moore and Mrs. Carolyn Zeigler, the club has taken part in many events. Among them were the sponsorship with the varsity club of the concession stands at football games, the selling of cookbooks, and the holding of a tea for the teachers. The Future Homemakers also conducted the traditional candlelight initiation ceremony. Several girls, Marilyn Nash, Barb Norris, and Karen Yeasley, attended a leadership training workshop last summer at M.S.U. The FHA girls strive to earn their Junior degrees and then their chapter degrees by finishing several self-assigned service projects. These cover the areas of individual improvement, family improvement, club service, and school and community service. Leading the club this year are president, Marilyn Nash; vice president, Barb Norris; treasurer, Shirley Tower; secretary, and student council representative, Karen Yeasley. Also this year they were proud to have a Regional officer, Kathy Zander, Historian. Marilyn Nash and April Wickerharn enjoy one of the many activities that FHA offers them. 44 Farming Skills Grow From FFA Projects At the annual spring banquet the FFA members pose with their newly elected sweetheart. Barb Page. The members of the Ionia Chapter of the Future Farmers of America have taken great strides in developing farm management and leadership. The F.F.A. operated a 30 acre school farm on which they raised wheat and com. During the summer the members constructed a pole type bam which housed the new tractor purchased by the school board for use on the farm. In addition to farm management, Mr. Charles VanDenburg, advisor, has stressed the importance of leadership in the field of agriculture. In October, Jim McCord, Phil Bookie, Dave Sherwood, Bob Peterson, and John Rasmussen accompanied Mr. VanDenburg From row: J. Page. C. Harder. P. Pelon, B. Peterson, D. Gable, D. Sherwood. J.

Sports School is not just a place to obtain an education, rather it is the place where teenagers have the chance to learn, grow, develop, and mature into young adults who are aware of the world and its problems. Through the fine athletic program at IHS, students have the opportunity to compete either in interscholastic or intramural activities. These programs enable the student to develop his physical abilities as well as his mental alertness. In his encounters with other contestants, competitors, officials, and even spectators, the athlete is developing his ability to abide by regulations and rules as well as learning to get along with other people. He also develops a sense of responsibility to himself and those he represents. Therefore, athletics not only serves to bring glory and prestige to the school, but aids in the growth and character development of those who take part. 47 A host of Bulldogs move in to secure the tackle. Kirk White and Pete Schanski pav the way for halfback Wilson. Coach Kohloff goes over some strategy during a practice session.

Going from dead last place to first place in one season was a remarkable feat. To those few who followed the Bulldogs in their scrimmage and practice sessions, it was not totally unexpected, for this year the team was possessed with a desire to win, the likes of which hasn’t been seen here in a long time. Great teamwork and individual effort were key factors to the success of the Varsity squad this year. Greg Wilson fights for additional yardage. It takes more than one defender to haul down Baker.

Bulldogs Reign Supreme Desire is the one word that explains the Bulldogs’ amazing reversal from last place to first place in the West Central League this year. Capturing the Conference Championship after last year’s dismal last place finish speaks well enough by itself to indicate the tremendous desire this year’s Varsity Football squad had. What they lacked in ability they more than made up for in spirit. Always playing with a do or die effort, the squad never gave up and even though at times things were not running in their favor. A perfect season was marred only by a loss to Charlotte. For the first time in 14 years, Ionia defeated Hastings on their field. The high point of the season was obviously the victory over Alma, as it clinched at least a tie for the Championship, and it also gave Coach Chuck Kohloff his 100th victory as a coach. The work of Coach Kohloff and his assistants Ray Monte and Frank Ciangi cannot be minimized. Team leadership was provided by Captain Gary Mirzoian and alternate Kirk White. With good coaching, good leadership, and great teams, how could the Bulldogs have been anything but Number One?

JV’s Gain Experience The Junior Varsity Football squad had one of those up and down seasons, though they showed flashes of promise to come into their own. They finished the season with a four and four slate. The team, co-captained by Bill Kanouse and Don Lehman, played well throughout the season, but key injuries hampered the Bullpups’ effort according to Coaches Larry Steward and Gary Welch. Coach Steward expressed pleasure over the vast improvement shown by some of the players, and indicated that he felt that many of them had the ability and desire to compete on the varsity squad next year. The bullpups hit the dirt under the watchful eyes of Coaches Welch and Steward.

Although the team did not sport a winning record, it was nevertheless an exciting and enjoyable season, according to coaches Michael Dryer and John Townsend. The squad was hampered by the loss of several key players through injuries. The team was large in more ways than one, however, as approximately 40 boys were on the team with several nudging 200 pounds, and one player over 200 pounds, so size will be an important feature of future teams. Coach Townsend instructs the team in special strategy. Intramuralers Would Rather Play than Eat These are just some of the students participating in the noon hour intramural program. There were ten teams entered in this year’s intramural basketball program; five each in class A, composed of juniors and seniors, and class B, composed of freshmen and sophomores. The “Bears” were class A champions while the “Bullets” ruled the class B league. En route to their championship, the “Bullets” set some sort of record as they went undefeated during the regular season and lost only one game during the ensuing tournaments. A1 Johnson and Paul Ruehs were the leading scorers among the seventy-five boys who took part in the program. A total of 225 boys and 50 girls on some 45 teams The Supervirls bailie over llie net. compose this year’s intramural volleyball leagues. They are divided into four leagues, three comprised of senior high students and one of junior high students. Play started at the beginning of March while tournaments began in early May. Our intramural sports program is definitely an excellent one when one considers the interest shown and the large number of participants. Over 300 students took part in our intramural program this year. This is a tribute not only to the program, but also to its director, Mr. Frank Ciangi. Some of the members of the 1968 Intramural Program. The practice paid off, everyone's in step; even Mr. Brill. There They Go, in Step, in Tune The Pep Band's music livens up the spirit at basketball games. “Band, attention!” With four sharp whistles and a perfected drum cadence, the 1967-68 Ionia High School marching band, under the expert direction of Mr. Charles Brill, stepped off once more to thrill the crowds. Other special performances were Band Day at M.S.U. and the Homecoming halftime show. Both the marching band, during football season, and the pep band, during basketball season, helped promote school spirit, even though the enthusiastic fans needed little encouraging to cheer on their teams. Senior members were saddened at the prospect of their last year at Band Camp, while sophomores experienced a new thrill. A sprinkling of fun and games accompanied many hours of practice on the field. The practice paid off, however, and a cold, wet marching season didn’t dampen the spirits of Mr. Brill or his band. The Band's Homecoming float was an example o its true spirit. Majorettes Beguile With Grace and Glamor Drum majorette, Jan Dunn, high steps it. Twirlers are Glenda Dawson, Ellm Hammond, Ann Skelding, Joan Larson, and Lynn Hark ness. Adding a bit of beauty and elegance to the Ionia High School marching band was this year’s sparkling head majorette, senior, Janice Dunn, with her twirlers five. One of the band’s most spectacular performances of the marching season was the backlight show for the Homecoming halftime show. The audience, chilled by the cold night air, broke into warm applause at the end of the much-rehearsed routines, including those All right everybody, keep in step.' with pom-pons and fire batons. At Band Day at Michigan State University, the girls dazzled the crowds with their sparkling uniforms and routines. Most of the majorettes have had private twirling lessons prior to this year and Janice called numerous nightly practices at the high school to prepare for the games. Although many game nights were cold, and sometimes wet, the six girls went on with the show. Practice, practice, practice, and still more practice! 55 Peppy Cheerleaders Help Corliss Auffrey, Anne Kopchick, Nancy Maynard, Debbie Van Houten, Alice Montgomery, and Debe Berger demonstrate a new formation. No one could have asked for a more exciting year of cheerleading as far as the varsity squad was concerned. During the football season, the girls cheered their hearts out for their Conference Football Champions who well-deserved their efforts. It was a season that seniors Anne Kopchick, captain, Debbie Van-Houten, Alice Montgomery, and juniors, Debe Berger, Corliss Auffrey, Nancy Maynard, and Pam Gierman (alternate) will never forget. Every Friday morning, most students were approached by one of the cheerleaders selling “spirit tags.” This was their main source of revenue and it also contributed to school spirit. During Friday noon hours, the squad held short “Pep Rallies” performing new cheers and chants. At the end of each rally, the classes competed for the coveted brown jug by yelling as loud as possible so that the judges might rule in their favor. This was undoubtedly the year for great teams in all sports at Ionia High; the cheerleaders and the students really had something to be proud of. Varsity cheerleaders smile pretty as they surrAund the coveted Brown Jug. 56 Boost School Spirit Junior High Cheerleaders Sue Palmer. Rene Johnson, Kathy Campbell, Patty Rendall, and Dona Tuller cheer for Freshmen games. Who are the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders? They are a group of six spirited girls with one of the biggest jobs at their high school. Their job is to boost school spirit at all athletic events. Regular practices have kept the girls on their toes. Whether it is in the rain, sleet or snow of football season or the heated excitement of basketball season the girls arc true to their team. Wild cheers and yells keep the spirit at its peak and pushes the team on to many victories. The 1967-68 J.V. squad consists of Marcia Mun-chey and Judy Attenburger, who are the sophomores on the squad. Brenda Perrien, Dianne Stebbins, Patty Dabbs, and Connie Robinson (captain) are the regulars. Nancy Harkness, also a freshman, is the alternate of the squad. In one of their quieter moments, the JV’s pose. Brenda Perrien, Connie Robinson, Judy Attenburger, Patty Dabbs, Dianne Stebbins, and Marcia Munchey add flavor to their cheer with pom-poms.

Champions Chant Song of Victory “We’re number one! We’re number one!” This chant was heard many times during the year by the followers of the IHS Varsity basketball team. The truth of the statement can be judged by the facts themselves. The Bulldogs not only won the tough West Central League title with a fine twelve to two record, but went on to win a district title at Lakewood as well. In compiling an overall season record of 17-3, the Varsity accomplished several outstanding feats. The record itself, 17-3, is the best ever on record at IHS. The 99 points scored in the Belding game was still another record, along with the 45 points scored in the second quarter of that game. And, for the first time in the school’s history, back to back championships in football and basketball were won. These are just a few of the outstanding accomplishments of the 1967-68 Varsity squad, and indeed they are a tribute not only to the entire team, but to Coach Don Gorsuch as well. Graduating this year are seniors Steve Watt, Fritz Thwaites, Captain Gary Mirzoian, Chuck Stewart, and Bruce LaPointe. The loss of these boys will truly be felt as they formed the nucleus of this year’s squad. Fritz, Gary, and Steve are two-year veterans, while Chuck and Bruce have been Varsity regulars since their sophomore years. In addition to being three year veterans, Chuck and Bruce were named to the 1968 All-State honorable mention basketball team, a fitting climax to their outstanding careers. The loss of all these outstanding players will be felt next year, but for this year, we were truly number one!

The Bullpups, coached by Vince Nevins, had a frustrating year as several ball games were lost by close scores; two in overtime. Also adding to their troubles were various injuries to key players throughout the whole season which often kept the team from operating at full strength. Coach Nevins stated that his ball club was actually better than their record indicated, but they failed to play up to their potential. He indicated that the inability to break a press and to score a bucket at critical moments kept them from winning several close games.

Freshmen Show Grit and Gumption Coach Gary Welch’s Freshman basketball team suffered through what turned out to be a very long season. They finished the year without a victory to their credit, but they continually showed the hustle and desire necessary to become champions. The squad had good size and showed strength under the backboards, but was slow getting back on Ionia gains control at the tipoff. defense and lacked offensive punch. The season was frustrating and disappointing from the standpoint that no games were won. However, success, especially on the freshmen level, is not measured by the record, but by improvement and development.

This year the team was coached by Miss Arnson, who also supervises all other girls’ activities. Eleven high school girls comprised the team, which played five games during the entire season. The roles of captain and co-captain were alternated with different girls at each game, so everyone served in one or the other of these capacities during the season. Although the team failed to make a season’s showing, the girls played with enthusiasm and with the determination to win. Throughout the season, they displayed good attitudes and fine sportsmanship despite their losses. Many of the players on this year’s team will be back next year shooting for baskets. With individual improvement, practice, and team cooperation, the prospects for next season look fine. Laurie Tupper in true form. Left to Right: S. Cederwall, C. Edwards, S. Larson, S. Knop. L.

Even though the season record shows only a few wins, the team has gained experience as well as stamina. The team members have proved this throughout the year. One wrestler, A1 Hammond, stood out among all the others. He has wrestled in the 154 pound class for four years, and this year, he ended the season with an 11 win and 9 loss record and also, the regional championship. This win gave him the opportunity to compete in the state finals at Godwin Heights in Grand Rapids. A1 won the first round, but was defeated in the second and third rounds by boys who had more experience than he. Even though he was defeated, he had done a good job and his teammates and fellow students are proud of him. Also giving the team their full effort were Steve White and Fred Lange. Steve and Fred proved their ability by coming in third and fourth respectively.

Early Bird Gymnasts Win Conference Title Tie As the Big Seven Conference saw its first year in existence, Ionia’s 13 gymnasts, coached by Bob Wichner, took the challenge and captured the conference title for the first time. The team finished the season with a near-perfect record, with nine wins and one loss. They also scored quite high in invitational competition. It was believed by the coach that much should be attributed to the team’s new method of practicing. They practiced early in the morning before school, which was quite stimulating to each player; their early morning freshness enabled them to do new stunts easier and to avoid needless injuries. Ionia placed high in individual standings in the conference meet, with three first places and several other lower places. Jim Zeigler took top honors in the conference on the side horse and also ranked the best all-around player in the conference. Mike Kistler co-captain of the team gained Ionia’s third first by placing first on the trampoline. Coach Wichner was quite pleased with the results of this year’s team and only hopes for a successful team next year. 66 Ionia Ionia Gymnastics Team Opponent 95 Grand Haven 33 86 Portage Central 42 66.5 Portage Northern 61.5 65.5 Grand Rapids Rogers 62.5 74 Hillsdale 54 70 Grand Haven 58 82 Portage Central 46 70 Hillsdale 58 58 Portage Northern 70 81 Grand Rapids Rogers 47 A ward-winning Jim Zeigler demonstrates his routine on the parallel bars.

The Girl’s Gymnastics team of Ionia High witnessed a disappointing 1967-68 season statistically, but much was gained in experience and in developing techniques. Another reason for a rather disappointing season was the fact that numerous injuries crippled the team throughout the entire season. The team showed great improvement since the beginning of the season, although only one match was won. In spite of their losses, individual participation and team spirit were enthusiastic throughout the season. Some of the teams that the team competed with were Hillsdale, Grand Haven, Rogers, and Rockford. They participated in events such as floor exercise, vaulting, balance beam, tumbling, trampoline and the uneven parallel bars. Kay Amson did a commendable job in her first year of coaching the gymnastic team. Since most of the members of this year’s team were underclassmen and they will return next year with a backlog of experience, the chances for a more successful season are promising. 1967-68 Girls' Gymnastics Ionia Opponent 61 Hillsdale 35 43 Hillsdale 53 12 Rogers 55 2636 Grand Haven 6436 29 Grand Haven 67 30 Rockford 61 67 Front row: D.

Varsity Ties for First Place in Conference The 1967 baseball season was successful as the Bulldogs captured a share of the West Central Conference Championship. Ionia tied for first place with Charlotte; both teams compiled a record of five wins and two losses in conference play. The Bulldogs were 13 and seven, overall, winning eight in a row at one stretch. For the second year in a row, the team represented the conference at Midland on Memorial Day. Leading hitters on the squad were Bob Baker and Terry Johnson with .358 and .357 averages respectively. Tops among the hurlers was Paul Mathews with a five and one record. Graduating seniors Don Hyland, Bruce Hulander, Ron Brownell, and Chris Tuller will be hard to replace, according to Coach Frank Ciangi. Terry Johnson and Gary Mirzoian admire the trophy. 68 Varsity Baseball Junior Varsity Baseball Ionia Opponent 7 Lowell 1 Ionia Opponent 0 Lowell 5 6 Grand Ledge 4 5 Charlotte 6 2 Lakewood 0 12 Belding 5 5 Belding 10 13 2 St. Johns 3 3 Greenville 3 Charlotte 6 5 ' Alma 0 6 Greenville 1 10 Lakewood 0 2 Lakewood 1 4 Hastings 3 15 11 Portland Portland 2 0 7 Hastings 10 3 Charlotte 2 4 Grand Ledge 5 2 Hastings 3 13 Charlotte 3 8 Alma 7 7 St. Johns 1 1 Midland 2 5 Alma 7 Bullpups Gain Good Experience The Junior Varsity Baseball team had a two win, four loss record this year, but much valuable experience was gained. The Bullpups were adept at scoring; a total of 43 runs in only six games, an average of better than seven a game. Leading the assault on opposing pitchers was Mark Tuller, who led the team in batting. The hurling of Bill Simpson was one of the bright spots on a staff that was otherwise lacking in depth according to Coach Mike Dryer, who will have only three players returning next season.

With only three seniors and five letter winners returning, the 1967 Track squad was faced with a tremendous rebuilding job. Even though it was a disappointing season, Coaches Chuck Kohloff and Larry Steward were encouraged by the potential. shown by the squad members as they continually improved their performances. Leading the team this year was veteran A1 Pearson who achieved considerable success in the pole vault. He placed third in the Central Michigan Relays while winning the Hastings Relays and the State Regional. He went on to take the seventh place in the State Track finals. Other veterans who composed the nucleus of the squad were seniors: Dennis Smith, a quarter-miler, and Jim Banhagel, a pole vaulter; and juniors: Fritz Thwaiters, a quarter miler, and Dave Drake, a hurdler. Coach Kohloff expressed optimism about next season, as he will lose only three players due to graduation. Also returning will be Tom Reiger who turned in very respectable times in the two mile, a new event this year. 70 Moves Mighty Fast Fritz Thwaites goes over the high jump. Ready, set, go!

La- Beginners Become Veterans Under the guidance and supervision of Coach Don Gorsuch, the Ionia High School linksmen copped sixth place in the West Central Conference this year. Showing improvement with each successive match, the team climaxed the season by placing ninth in the state regional golf meet in Grand Rapids. Losing only Captain Bob Herron and Phil Cassone by graduation, Coach Gorsuch is looking forward to next year when he will have returning veterans Gale Larson, Bruce LaPointe, and Steve Lesky to make up the nucleus of the squad. Also putting in many hours of daily practice and devoting much time and energy in order to develop just the right swing and putting touch were fellow squad members: Steve Beach, Don Rosekrans, Chuck Cox, Jim Wood, John Cemcy, and Leonard Dalecke. Gale Larson and Steve Lesky tee off. 72 Just Wait ’Till Next Year Loyalty and devotion were trademarks of the 1967 Ionia High School tennis team, spurred on by an incentive and drive that was noticeable not only in their spirited practice matches but also in their improved play in conference competition. The squad, composed entirely of underclassmen, shows promise of a brighter net picture in the very near future. Led by a junior, Doug Johnson, who was the biggest winner on the squad, the netmindcrs were constantly in there battling. With Steve Watt, Mike Kry-wanski, Evan Macfarlane, Tom Todd, Denny Swain, Henry Nelson, and Dan Palmer all in there swinging their rackets, plenty of action was always to be found. Coach Mike Brindle was encouraged by the improved play and attitude of the squad and lauded their efforts of the campaign. Doug Johnson gels in some early practice. Front Row: M. Krywanski, E.

For the Seniors, their days at l.H.S. are over. This was the Class of 68’s year and they will never see it again. The Juniors have completed a long year of serious study. They have worked hard, and now it has finally come to an end. In their second year, the Sophomores, being now adapted to high school, have settled down and really started to work. And for the Freshmen, it is the end of all the trials and tribulations of their first year of high school. They will no longer be the youngest. But 1968 is not only the end of many things, it is the beginning of many more. As underclassmen look forward to another year at I.H.S., the Seniors are looking much further. They are now moving out “into the world.” Now is the time to start shaping their dreams and move toward their goals. For the Seniors high school is over. But they are not looking back. The world is opening its doors, full of advantages, to them. 77 Left to Right: M. Lehman. Student Council rep.: J. McMahon, treas.; M. Kopchick, vice pres.: C. Robinson, Student Council rep.: K.

Well, here is another Freshman class starting at the bottom of the pole and working their way up to success unlimited. Each year, new frosh move into the incessant chain of Senior High, and each year, their class proves to be the best yet. Our spirit shown in being the first mighty class to win the “little brown jug” trophy in cheering proves we’re aiming for the highest goals. Like all classes, we want to be known, and sponsoring our first post game dance was our opportunity. We got a groovy band and really put the gym into a swing. Even the upperclassmen appreciated us. Our homecoming float was really spectacular. “Happiness is Sinking the Comets” was our theme, which proved to be very truthful. The many weeks spent working on the float proved to be worth our time as we won the prize for the “most unique float.” Yes, this year’s freshmen, the class of 1971, are really on the move. With the help of their enterprising advisors, Mrs. Dryer, Mr. Koclsch, Mr. Bartelt, and Mr. Wright, the freshmen have learned the meaning of responsibility and are ready to move on toward their enjoyable years to come in Ionia High. 78 F reshmen Ben Ackerson Joyce Andrews Stuart Andrews Dexter Arnold Dennis Austin Keith Bailey Steve Bailey Barb Barrett Ken Barrows Ron Batchelor Karl Beach Mike Benedict A1 Bennett Kirk Bennett Richard Bennett Becky Bergeon Karen Beyer Randall Bierlein Melissa Black Dennis Bledsoe Carol Blumberg Victor Bookie Donna Booth Jeff Boyes Karen Brandsen Dale Brockway David Buck Barb Burns Larry Bussell Bob Calkins Sara Calkins Sheryl Cederwall Paula Clark Pat Clements Richard Clifford Kevin Cody Clare Coldwell Le Roy Comer Caron Cook Dave Cotter Debbie Coulson Greg Courtnay Mike Cousinaw Cathy Cunningham Patty Dabbs Steve Dawson Russ Dean Marge Dickinson Sally Dickinson Bryan Dolley Steve Dow Nancy Drake Ron Drake Kathy Drummond Roxanne Dunkel Bill Eddy Freshmen speech class students listen intensly to the speaker.

Physical Education students show off their monkey suits. This has been a big year for the class of 1970. The main projects of the sophomore class were to raise money for next year’s prom. With the help of Mrs. Jones, Mr. Beyer, Mr. Townsend, Mr. Frayer and Mr. Woodland, the class held an apple and a candy sale, a car wash, and collected class dues. They also had the cakewalk at the carnival. The sophomores also donated money to the various school funds, one being the student foreign exchange. In the summer of 1969, two lucky members of the class of “70” will go to Europe. The sophomores are not only concerned with their treasury, but are also involved in the majority of. school extra-curricular activities. The class is especially proving its ability in the field of sports. Of course, with this immense enthusiasm, the class of 1970 also has abundant school spirit. They won the “little brown jug” trophy in the cheering competition during football season. Looking forward, the class of 1970 has a lot ahead of them. They are eagerly looking forward to receiving their class rings and sponsoring the prom next year. 84 Sophomores Karen Aikens Debbie Allen Michelle Allen Dave Anres Chuck Andrews Judy Attenberger Becky Avery Bob Baker Dennis Baker Dave Baragrey Phil Barclay Pat Barr Kris Beach Tom Beckhorn Dave Bell John Bell Dee Ann Benedict Pam Benedict Sheila Bernier Betty Bissell Daryl Blood Bill Blundy Frank Bookie Jeanette Booth Keith Boroff Glenna Boyden Charlene Boyes Charmaine Boyes Craig Brainard Ray Brandt Josephine Brooks Diane Brown Bob Buckner Ethel Buckner Mike Buckner Pansey Bussell Jim Butler Barb Calkins Larry Carleton Judy Carter John Cerney Dixie Chipman Dave Christian Dave Cisler Ron Claycomb Dave Clack Dan Clorc Ed Coe Steve Conner Fred Cooper Ron Cooper Sue Cooper Bill Corkwell Da non Croel Janet Croel Damsel, Sue Murphy, is in distress.

With the help of their advisors, Mr. Cowling, Mr. Dryer, Miss Hall, Mr. Kilbom, and Mrs. Zeigler, they enthusiastically began their Junior year. Their first money-making activity was sponsoring the first post-game dance of the football season. After the juniors had waited patiently for weeks, their class rings finally arrived. Excited juniors compared rings which have the traditiopal “I” on the set. The juniors have the reputation for getting things done. After they had toiled for weeks designing and constructing their Homecoming float, they were rewarded for their time and talent. As the floats slowly progressed around the football field on Homecoming evening, it was announced that the juniors’ float, entitled “Lick the Comets,” had won first place. The twenty dollar prize was added to their growing treasury. Another money-making activity which the Junior class sponsored was the “fun house” at the annual school carnival. In constructing the “fun house,” the juniors’ talent and originality can really go to work! The real test for the Junior Class was sponsoring the Junior-Senior Prom. They have kept this in mind while selling apples and fudge in the cage at various times through the year to raise money for the event. Members of the class entered many themes and after much consideration, it was decided that the prom would have a Tahitian theme. The juniors realized that this is the biggest event of the year and a great responsibility for them. But they were already putting together their ideas early in 1968 to make it a beautiful and original prom. It has been a year of serious studying to keep grade point averages up. It has been a year of taking pre-college tests and choosing our paths of life. We have worked our hardest at everything we have done and have experienced the feeling of pride in our accomplishments. We have laughed together, cried together, and worked our hardest together. It has been one of the best years of our lives. We are the class of ’69. 90 Juniors Bill Abbey Phil Allen Dave Allen Kris Andrews Doug Ayers Brigettc Baeger Joan Bailey Viola Barrows Bill Bartelt Jon Beckhorn Jim Bell Robin Bentz Debc Berger Kathy Beyer Cindy Bierlcin Diane Blundy Phil Bookie A1 Brainard Don Bray Rod Briggs Doug Brown Marsha Brownell Mickey Burns John Cardenas Rick Challender Fred Charles Keith Chipman Sue Christian Scott Christiansen Sharon Christopher Russ Clark Corrine Clifford John Clore Janice Colley Connie Confer Bob Conner Bob Courser Charles Cox Jean Criner Barb Culver Pat Cunningham Glenda Dawson Rick Devers Kay Dolley Shireen Dolley John Drummond Rhonda Dunkel Judy Dyer Juniors Joyce Eaton Lonese Eavey Brenda Eckert Charlene Edlin Joan Edwards Trudy Eggleston Gary Ferguson Barb Fleisher Mark Fletcher Diane Foster Lynn Fox Brenda Fuller Marsha Furman Don Gable Delores Garcia Rosa Garcia Pam Gierman Kathy Gillett Dave Gladding Karen Godden Larry Goodman Ned Graham Judy Gustafson Scott Guernsey Blow, Gabriel, blow!

Cool, Casual, Confident Seniors Look Ahead Graduation Day will soon be here, the end of four long memorable years of high, school. All of us cherish some memories of a certain class or a special teacher who stirred our interest in the future and what is to become of us. Soon we shall find out. Our class has been extremely busy through the years and especially during our last year. Our first major project, the Junior-Senior Prom, kept us occupied for nearly two months. When our senior year rolled around, we were confronted with a second project, our homecoming float, which was proudly christened, “Raiding the Comets.” We captured second prize. As the school year approached the halfway mark, the seniors sponsored the Christmas dance, “Silver Frost.” The gym was transformed into a winter scene of sparkling beauty. At the all-school carnival held in the spring, our booth naturally had the longest line. Our final money-making project was the Senior-Faculty game in April which brought gales of laughter to the entire student body. All of our money-making projects were for the sole purpose of financing the 1968 IONIAN. This is how the class of ’68 shall be remembered. For their guidance during the year, we thank our advisers, Mr. Brindle, Mr. Forte, Mr. Nevins and Mr. Hagen. 98 Seniors Chris Allen Teresa Anderson Simmons Audie Andres Judy Adair Sharon Antcliff Susan Antcliff Marilyn Arnold Terry Asbury Jennifer Barnes Kathy Bauer Charlene Beach Stephen Beach Steven Beebe Deborah Benedict 99 Seniors Robert Bennett Susan Bennett Tom Bergstrom Donald Bergeon Sue Bledsoe Jon Booth Gloria Bolruff Carl Brooks Jean Brooks Joseph Brooks Patricia Brown Dianne Brownell Frank Buck Claudia Carleton 100 Seniors Carol Cooper Verna Cotter Bruce Croel Audrey Dean Sue Doty Jacqueline Dow David Drake 101 Seniors Cheryl Edwards Jayne Eldridge Erwin Fahrni Michael Falsetto Ronald Fletcher Craig Flint Linda Fox Judy Fry Brenda Furman Dona Furman Terry Gage William Gladding Todd Gray Ann Greenhoe 102 Seniors Susan Greenhoe Richard Gregory Laura Hanline Richard Hanson Carl Harder Mary Lynn Hark ness Vicky Hartman Helen Harwood Lois Haskin Deborah Hawkins Dianne Hawkins Janice Hecht 103 Seniors Larry Helmes Lila Helms Carol Heppe Donald Hemmingsen Sandy Herald Herlinda Hernandez Bonnie Higbee Everingham Shirley Higgins Barry Hopkins Danny Hopkins Lynda Hubbard Dan Hummel Patrick Hummel Linda Jeffrey 104 Seniors Douglas Johnson Linda Johnson Terry Johnson Esta Jorgensen Kristine Kerne it Anne Kopchick Linda Kruger Karen Klein Mike Krywanski Dan Lafferty Fred Lange Bruce LaPointe Gale Larson 105 Seniors Thomas Leslie Michael Larson Carol Leland Clare Lemke c Cheryl McLeod Ulrika Linden Russell McGinn Evan Macfarlane Brenda Malokofsky Mary Carol Millard Christina Miller Jackie Miller Gary Mirzoian Alice Montgomery 106 Marilyn Nash Phillip Nash Seniors Robert North Connie Northrup Robert Nummer Joseph Nunes Patricia O’Connor Terry Page Dana Palmatter Cynthia Pearce Susan Pearce ■ V A Mary Peiffer Robert Perrorte 107 Seniors Thomas Petersen Robert Peterson Bianca Postle Karen Poulsen Terry Randell John Rasmussen Pauline Raymor 108 Margaret Reule Christine Reynolds Seniors Cindy Reynolds Kristy Ries Jim Ross Karen Ruehs Janice Sage Vickie Sallee Janet Salter 109 Seniors Dalynne Sloan Douglas Sousa Sharon Stebbins Charles Stewart Susan Thatcher Fredrick Thwaites James Townsend Thomas Todd Susan Travis Charlene Truesdell Laurie Tupper 110 Wendell VanEtt Janet VanDyne Seniors Debbie VanHouten Michelle Walsh Stephen Watt Kathy Wawiernia Pamela Webster Joy Ann Welsh Jim Westbrook Lawrence White Richard White 111 Seniors Steven White April Wickerham Harry Wilbur Nancy Wilson Brenda Wood Doris Woodard Gerald Woodbury William Wyman James Zeigler Warren Wrisley Joseph Zimmerman 112 Seniors Missing Pictures Doorthy Aikens Michael Charles Dallas Houghton Sandra Pline Kathleen Repik Tina Rich Deborah Robinson Donald Shields Doris Studebaker Salim Tanal Glen Tyson Geraldine Wise Hanline Class Poem Aspiration Our four short years are now gone by; The final lesson, we breathe a sigh.

It may have been a long and hard year for some of us, but it mostly probably has been longer and harder for our faculty. Inspired by a determination to teach, these men and women were consistent and dedicated to their work. These teachers shall forever remain in the hearts and minds of all students, for they challenged and gave students the desire to learn and grow intellectually. Outside of high school, a strange and complicated world awaits, but having had the education and counseling of these people, the student body will be ready to step out into the adult world that lies before us. Our faculty has taught us to walk in step with the times—to accept the world as it is and to do the best we can in the circumstances that exist. These men and women have dedicated their lives to teaching ... we have had the honor of being their students. 127 Left to right: Edward Ruehs, Robert B. Boyce. Charles Langdon, D.D.S., Flint C. Watt, A.V. Wright, Leonard Schwab, Raymond Nash, Robert O. Smith, M.D. The Chain of Authority Has Many Thinks Mr. Bo ce sometimes gets lonely in his new office. The operation of a high school as large as IHS requires a dedicated, able administration staff. Ionia has just that. The school board is made up of men who are concerned with the school system of Ionia. Their job is to maintain and, where possible improve the standards of the education provided in our town. Superintendent Robert Boyce is responsible for running the school system. His job is to explain the administration of the system to the public and to maintain a harmonious relationship. He is especially concerned with financial and curricular problems. Principal Joseph Harrison, is responsible for the efficient functioning of the faculty. He is concerned with the problem of supplying the curriculum which the students need. Mr. Lester Burch, assistant principal, deals with student attendance. He investigates absences and acts as a counselor for students who have problems. The office staff handles all the book work necessary for running the school so the staff is never idle. Mrs. Dorothy Glasson, the principal’s secretary, helps students who crowd into the office. She also answers the telephone, records the grades, and handles the correspondence. Mrs. Aria Skelding helps Mrs. Glasson in the office. She also works in the school store and in the library. 128 Joseph M. Harrison Mr. Harrison smiles, ready to help. High School Principal Lester Burch Assistant Principal Mrs. Dorothy Glasson and Mrs. Aria Skelding work in the high school office.

Harriet Kelly Junior High School Principal 129 Addition Provides Some Needed Space The new labs are provided with the latest equipment. Progress at Ionia High School was evident this year as the new wing of our school was made ready for occupancy. We had been waiting through many setbacks, but the result was well worth the wait. The new addition provides laboratories for biology, chemistry, physics, agricultural science, and languages. These laboratories, which stress individual learning, are designed to help the student learn by experimentation. The sparkling new facilities have produced a very favorable attitude among the students. Our beautiful new auditorium, which IHS proudly opened with “West Side Story,” is one of the finest theater facilities in the area. It is equipped with plush seating, an immense stage, a spacious orchestra pit, and an impressive system of theatrical lights. The auditorium is a credit to Ionia High School and it is an asset in which our students and our community take great pride. The new stage presents quite a challenge for the scenery crew. The teachers enjoy teaching in the labs, especially with their new equipment, including sliding blackboards, three deep. 130 Before the new wing was finished, it was full of equipment and working men, now only students . . . This new dressing room is a far cry from the old one. The exterior of the new wing has well-defined architectural form. The auditorium behind Mary and Buzz seats 350. The spacious foyer now contains only two lonely settees; wait until intermission! 131 Music Departments Exist in Harmony Our senior band, under the direction of Charles Brill, and the junior band, under Andrew MacFarland, practised long hours to perfect pre-game and half-time shows for the marching season. In the winter they polished their technique at concert music for numerous performances. Vocal music director, Harold Freeman trains members of the choir in part singing and sight reading. The group makes appearances during the year not only at school events, but also at meetings of local clubs. Miss Sandra Hall, talented art instructor, encourages creativity among her students and trains them in many skills. In addition to teaching art classes, Miss Hall, supervises the making of all the sets for the plays and also holds a student art exhibit. Mr. Freeman leads his music class in song. Mr. Macfarland leads llie Junior Rand. Harold Freeman Sandra Hall I Miss Hall finds the teaching of art a hit amusing at times. 132 Forensics Techniques Perfected The speech department headed by Mr. Raymond Monte, is divided into various types of classes. Introductory speech is a course required of all IHS students as freshmen. Here students often find their first contact with public speaking and expression. They receive instruction in speaking, group discussion, and in armed arguing, but the most important thing they learn is how to speak sensibly and with ease. Students who go on to Advanced speech learn, among other things, the basic concepts of drama. Many students have even tried their hand at making films, some of which are very good. Speech students who show a special talent for speaking often take debate or forensics, for which many receive honors. The new French instructor, Mrs. Galm, smiles at camera. Tyrell Schmidt Elizabeth VanderVen Translate, Conjugate Through the study of either French or Latin, the language courses offered at IHS, students increase their knowledge of the origins of many English words and receive a good background in Roman history and mythology, and the geography and customs of France. Tyrell Schmidt teaches first and second year Latin. Although this language is often said to be “dead”, a valuable glimpse at the Roman world is afforded by studying it. Because so many English words have their origins in Latin, students soon realize that Latin is still very much alive and used constantly. The two years of French offered in our school were taught by Mrs. Elizabeth VanderVen during the first semester. Mrs. Janet Galm taught during the second semester. Since French is a spoken language, tapes are often used to assist students with pronunciation and oral expression. The brief stories in the French textbook are lively and aimed at teenagers. Because they concern things that young people are interested in, they make learning French fun. Students are also shown slides to acquaint them with French geography, scenery, and life. 133 Literary Skills Pursued Students enjoy Mr. Dryer's good humor. Carol Magney Gladys Lehman English, being a required subject to graduate, has been taken by every student at IHS for at least three years. Those students planning to attend college after graduation take this subject for four years in order to make ready for the schooling that lies ahead. When one graduates from school, he must be able to communicate with the world that awaits him. In order to prepare the students, our English department has instructed us step by step in the fundamentals of English. As freshmen, students are taught the elements of basic mass communication and expressive organization. At the tenth grade level, pupils of IHS learn writing or composition style and begin their big step in literature, reading and comprehension. As juniors, students continue their American literature study and perfect their ability in composition. Completing their final year, seniors study the development of English literature century by century. Those who head the English department are Mrs. Magney, Mr. Ciangi, Mr. and Mrs. Dryer, Mrs. Jones, Mr. Koelsch, Mrs. Lehman, and Mr. Woodland. These instructors have brought about the understanding of English to the students very successfully. They challenge to help students gain a better knowledge of English and they accept that challenge. Step by step, knowledge is expanded. Mr. Ciangi makes a point to liis class. Frank Ciangi Diana Jones 134 Steve Lesley, Ross Matthews, and Kris Johnson learn the arts of a good panel discussion. Students can always find Mrs. Magney in her room ready to help them with any kind of problem. Michael Dryer Gloria Dryer Mrs. Dryer joins her class in a jew minutes of study. Kendall Koelsch Robert Woodland Mr. Koelsch carefully watches as students take their tests. Mrs. Seidel always greets her patients with a smile. Students Look Forward to New Library After many years of very cramped conditions, the Ionia High School library has made a very long awaited change this year. The library has now spread out and taken over the spacious study hall. If a student is in search of a book, whether it be for a book report, researching a report or just for enjoyment, he will find Mrs. Stein, the full time librarian, very helpful. The library, open all day, furnishes the student body with over 10,700 volumes. They include novels, short stories, reference books, and periodicals useful for reports and projects. With the help of an interested high school student for each hour of the day, Mrs. Stein and her assistant, Mrs. Lesky, students should have little trouble finding suitable reading material. Nurses Care for Painful Ailments Aria Lesky checks over book for information. Arlene Stein Edith Seidel Aria Lesky Betty Manley Ionia High School is blessed with the presence of a guardian angel in the person of Mrs. Edith Seidel. Serving as our school nurse since 1950, her daily routine has involved much more than dispensing aspirin and tending to cut fingers. During the year, Mrs. Seidel sets up various important innoculation and vaccination clinics. The nurse also takes time out of her busy schedule to tend to returning ill students to their homes. Annually, Mrs. Seidel assists in giving pre-season examinations to the football players. We wish to thank Mrs. Seidel for her many years of dedicated service to our school and our community. Physical Education Promotes Fitness Physical education is a joy to some and a misery to others. Mrs. Amson, Mr. Kohloff and Mr. Gorsuch put the students through their paces every day. In physical education, sports such as basketball, soccer, volley ball, gymnastics and softball are offered. Test are given twice a year to measure skills and endurance. Physical fitness is vital in today’s society. It develops skills and sportsmanship in the students that can be used later on in life. Physical education is helpful and profit can be gained from it if applied. Charles Kohloff Kay Arnson Kay Arnson instructs junior high students the art of dancing. Counselors Aid Students in Choosing Careers Students who need help in finding colleges to attend or in finding a good job after graduation are often found in Mr. Michael Brindle’s office or talking to Mr. Ralph Bartelt. These men have spent hours with students, trying to give them the right college or job choice. They also teach our freshman guidance classes. These counselors have surely proven to be a big asset to this school. 137 Science and Math Challenge Minds Chemistry students study in earnest as their instructors, Gary Kilborn looks on. Much hard work has gone into the building of the departments of mathematics and science at I.H.S. Especially contributing to this factor this year was the addition of the new science wing which updated all of the facilities of the laboratories, thus enabling the students to apply their knowledge with more accuracy. Learning to reason and putting this reasoning to use are the main objectives of students of the mathematics department. Skilled instructors seek to develop in their students, intuitive and inductive thinking which these pupils learn to apply to various equations. Courses which are included in this department range from general math and algebra to geometry and trigonometry. The study of matter in all its forms is the general topic which would describe the science department. Fascinating explorations of the wonders of life are made each day as the pupils of the biology and natural science classes open the door to the living word around them. The breaking down, combining, and behavior of matter are just stepping stones to the vast amount of knowledge which is acquired during the year by the students of the chemistry classes, while those of the physics classes learn of the physical laws that govern the universe. Larry Steward Florence White Mathematics teacher, Loren Wright, helps a couple of his students work out a problem. Rex Billings Gustav Beyer Rex Billings plans for tomorrow's lesson. Gustav Beyer explains algebra fundamentals to his students. Ted Hagen Loren Wright Gary Kilborn Physics instructor, Ted Hagen, puts new laboratory equipment to use. Students watch attentively as student teacher, Sharon Hough-ton, runs through equations. Larry Steward expresses an important biological point to his students. 139 Past Is Studied to Under In a world as fast moving and progressive as ours, there is a time when we must pause in our hurry to study the world about us and that world from which we were bom. Always ready and willing to help us in this search for knowledge, is the social studies department at our own Ionia High School. Freshmen are aided in the seeking of their interests and abilities and the planning of their class schedules for their future years at IHS in a required guidance course. Juniors learn of the beginnings of their own nation in a required American history class while seniors are taught how their nation’s government is run Mr. North instructs his American History class from his podium. Joy Hammond Vince Nevins Howard North Jonathan Townsend Don Gorsuch Mr. Gorsuch and Robin Bentz compare old pictures. Mr. Nevins gives his class a lecture. stand the Present and Better the Future in a required government class. Seniors are also taught the way in which their economic system is put to use in economic classes and how to better understand their fellow man in sociology classes; both are available to them if they are interested. World geography classes acquaint students with the various countries about the globe and their different climates, land forms, and products while world history classes unfold the story of the pupils’ earliest ancestors, how these early men developed their different cultures, and how our good life of today was finally produced. Mr. Schmidt looks over homework. Audio Visual Promotes Greater Understanding Under the guidance of Mr. Robert Oliver, the Audio-Visual department provides Audio-Visual equipment for both the junior and senior high school classes. The department also sets up sound equipment for all school assemblies. Serving the school in setting up projectors, tape recorders, and record players are Mr. Oliver, Dept, head, Mrs. Marie Norris, Audio-Visual assistant, Don Nemetz, Sam Peters, Brad Meeusen, Allen Mansmith, David Campbell, John Strand, Rick Winslow, Jim Butler, John Pierce, Mike VanHouten, Leo Postle, Greg Tissue, and Bill McKinnon, student helpers. Although the school is lacking many pieces of equipment, the Audio-Visual department has done a truly excellent job. Don Soames is Mr. Oliver's handy-man. Mr. Oliver checks over material with Mrs. Norris. Robert Oliver 141 Business Courses Mr. Wichner gives instructions to his typing class. Business law students enjoy Mr. Welch’s teaching methods. Gary Welch John Forte Stenography class students jot down shorthand while Mr. Forte dictates. Mr. Frayer glances over some bookkeeping papers. 142 Teach Helpful Skills The business program at Ionia High is designed to provide the basic training in commerce and related educational subjects; to inspire the student to acquire further knowledge in his chosen field; and to impress upon the student the high standards of conduct in his personal business and community relationships. The introductory business course offers the basic knowledge of forms and procedures. Bookkeeping gives the student who has had no knowledge of the subject an introduction to the accounting field and emphasizes the need for financial business reports. Business English stresses the fundamentals of grammar, capitalization and punctuation. A course in typing is a must for college preparatory students as well as for business students. A practical basic course in business law covers the various phases of the law and contracts. Stenography is a challenge to high school girls, who strive for speed and accuracy. Office practice gives senior girls experience using various office machines, together with the study of procedures and personality development. All in all, students who wish preparation for the business world, have many opportunities and challenges at Ionia High. Bookkeeping students pouring their good efforts on a test. Robert Wichner Lucy Watters Pupils listen intently to Mr. Welch. Donald Frayer 143 Mr. Green assists boys in shop. Randy Cowling Mr. Cowling finds time to help students during drawing class. Vocational Studies Pursued Students enrolled in vocational training at IHS will find themselves in much better shape when it comes time to look for a job after graduation. Wood and metal shop classes teach the student invaluable skills in the use of various machines, shop safety, and firsthand experience in working with various materials. The mechanical drawing classes instruct the individual in the facets of technical design. Each person is allowed to select his own particular field of interest ranging from architecture to electrical drawing. The courses in vocational agriculture offered at Ionia are tailor made for the student who wishes to pursue a career in this fascinating and important field. Traditionally these courses have been taken by boys, but this year, however, several girls were enrolled in this area. Bill Wandell works in earnest during wood shop. James Green Charles Vandenburg 144 Future Homemakers Acquire Proficiency Mrs. Moore leaches the skills of a homemaker to her class. Patricia Moore Caroline Zeigler Home economics is the science of knowledge and skills involved in making a home. The areas of home economics are foods and nutrition, clothing and textiles, home furnishings, personal and family relations, home safety, childcare, consumer buying, and management. In the earlier courses, Homemaking I, 11, III and IV, the students learn personal grooming, simple home planning, how to get along in high school society, and many other general areas of homemaking. They may then advance to specific areas, such as Advanced Foods. This course offers excellent training in the art of preparing nutritional and attractive low cost meals. Advanced Clothing teaches the students the fine art of clothing construction, while Home and Family Living helps them to understand their role in a family and prepares them for their role as an adult. Home Arts offers an excellent opportunity for the future homemaker to develop skills in decorating her home in order to make it attractive and eyecatching. Mrs. Zeigler demonstrates the preparation of a meal. 145 Left to right: Jim Bell, Cliff Ross, Earl Davis, Clarence Speck-in. Arley Travis, lla Boroff. Staff Deals in Services Our faithful custodians work diligently to keep our building looking its best. The custodians are men of many skills. These men cope with countless problems during a school day. They display endless tolerance and patience towards requests and the mishaps that occur. In addition to the cleaning of the building, our custodians do electrical and mechanical repair. They also repair all breakage. Periodically throughout the year, there is a thorough cleaning. This includes scrubbing all the floors, checking the lockers, and cleaning our gym floor. If it weren’t for the diligent efforts of our kitchen staff, many students and faculty members would go hungry. Expert judgment, careful timing, and hard work make it possible to provide a hot, nutritious meal for not only the IHS students, but also those in Twin Rivers, Emerson, and Rather schools. The food is transported to outlying schools from the high school in large insulated containers. After preparing the food, the cooks serve the students as they move through the lunch line. Much time is spent cleaning the kitchen and getting ready for the next day. Left to right: Viva Cohwell, Leota Loddell, Ann Guernsey.

I hope that this yearbook contains something that will make everyone remember a special moment that will cherish always. I would personally like to thank my staff for making this yearbook possible and also for giving me a few memories that I will remember always. It wasn’t the yearbook staff that produced this yearbook entirely, it was every IHS student who supplied the material for us to use; then all we did was compile it and present it to you. This simple matter of compiling wasn’t simple though and if the members of the staff hadn’t done their best to produce this book, it would have never been published. Mrs. Carol Magney also helped with her expert advice. My thanks to everyone who had anything to do with this annual. I hope that this gives pleasure to all who read it.
