V A Touch Of Class Jac-Cen-Del High School Osgood, Indiana Volume Two If a picture paints a thousand words then why can’t I paint you? . . . Then where am I to go? . . This is the leading question now direction We must all become something, and that can be anything we choose. The senior year is definitely a year of decisions and a year of 'lasts', it seemed as if everything we did we realized we wouldn't do again. We shed a few tears over the end of basketball season, our final prom, and the last time we had to eat in the school cafeteria. Of course there was graduation, it was a tremendous tear jerker. as it was the last time we would be together as a class, and besides that, everyone else had ther Kleenex out Don't get any mistaken ideas, though, that this was a sad year for us, it wasn't. We had most of our credits and many of us got to go home half a day or out into the working world. If we weren't fortunate enough to get away, we could take courses which we previously had had no time for and made our days a bit more interesting. For six whole weeks we wer e promoted to presidents of our own countries in our government classes. Together we traveled to the far away place of Washington. D.C.. viewed an actual trial in the metropolis of Versailes. and passed U S. Government. Aside from, or probably because of. everything else, it was fun |ust being a senior and enjoying the prestige which accon anies that position of supremacy and believe it or not some of us actually enjoyed selling raffle tickets. Though we have known many of our classmates for 13 years and become good friends we have always had varied interests. It is these interests and our own selves that wil determine xr places in the future Though. What lies behind us. and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. . . . Where Am I To Go . . . At last, our Senior yearl We were photographed in September, served our dinner in October, and received our graduation announcements in January. In March we sold raffle tickets to finance our journey to Washington. Of course, the biggest event of the year was Graduation which took place on May 22,1977. Final of- ficers for our class were President-Jerry Vollmer, Vice-President-Rita Westerman, Secretary-Martha Scheidler, and TreasurerBeth Gloyd. Our Senior year we had six representatives in Student Council, Larry Black. Sue De Burger, Tim Engelhardt, Todd Reisman, Eddie Schwer- ing, and Bill Vankirk. In August of '73, one hundred and five of us began our freshman year, anxiously looking forward to participating in the mature high school activities we'd heard about. To finance our activities in the years to come we held our first money-making project, a bake sale. Soon afterwards we had our first money-spending activity, a roller skating party. Our chosen leaders for the year were President- Jerry Vollmer, Vice-President-Janine Humphrey and Secretary- Treasurer-Martha Scheidler. Student Council representatives were Sam Pindell, Todd Reisman, and Rita Westerman. Starting our Sophomore year a little older and a little wiser, we ad- vanced from a bake sale to a chicken supper. Our new leaders were President-Don Hountz, Vice-President-Joy Francis. Secretary-Treasurer-Melissa Wolf. Sophomore Student Council members for the year were Todd Reisman. Rita Westerman, and Eddie Schwering. Busy is the word which sums up our Junior year. The longer we were in school the more money we needed to cover our expenses. Our biggest was the Junior prom which was paid for with the receipts of a very successful turkey dinner. For our prom we chose Madison as the location, Summer Breeze as the theme, and Millcreek provided the music. Afterwards we ate at Jac-CenDel and went to see The Return of the Pink Panther.” Officers for this year were President Jerry Vollmer, Vice-President-Martha Scheidler, Secretary-Rick Turner, and Treasurer-Melissa Wolf. 4 Council members were Todd Reisman, Eddie Schwering and Rita Westerman.

Terry Olds Administration If a picture paints a thousand words then why can’t I paint you . . . and when my love for life is running dry, you come and pour yourself on me . . Seldom coming in contact with the School Board member and our Superintendent, who wave to u in the hallways, it i hard for u to realize what a great influence they have on our school day . They control our education from one plus one to cap and gown fittings, by hiring staff and obtaining the equipment, from track cinders to yellow buses, all necessary to keep the school corporation in working condition. The administratfve head which we. the student body, are the closest to is our principal. Mr. Miller. He must handle the everyday headaches that come from educating some 506 students. Included with the above administration is Mr. Clarkson who keeps the Junior High in line. All of the brave men aforementioned do not go it alone. Jac-Cen-Del has a staff of very wiling and able secretaries to assist them. CHARLES R MILLER B S and M.S.. Indiana Stale University, Principal. Jac-Cen-Del Jr. Sr. High School.

Our faculty is beside us as class sponsors, organizations' advisors, coaches, friends, and yes. even teachers. This group engages in a very colorful range of activities. In the past year we have found teachers with rolled up sleeves at turkey dinners and buttoned up sweaters in the journalism workroom. Their gym activities cover coaching future basketball stars to coaching aspiring ac- tors. We also find them marching in the rain, running in the mud, and breaking into cars. They pin up hems, house birds, search for back dated magazines, and stir up strange chemical odors. They have been known to cut up pigs, play in clay and tape crepe paper on the walls of the hallways. Apart from these activities, there are those which are perhaps better known to the general public, and students may know about but not always be conscious of. They are providing an inspiration, encouraging and promoting students in every possible way, and drilling exciting facts into our heads about which we might otherwise be ignorant. Very willingly they give up a great portion of their spare time to supervise and direct activities which we greatly benefit from. They work very hard to give us the best education possible and try to prepare us to be the best people we can possibly be when we are no longer under their tutelage. LOUIS WOLTER B.S..

If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die, I’d spend the end with you . . We spend one hundred and eighty school days in the course of a year with our classmates. During this time we come up with all kinds of imaginative ac- tivities to amuse ourselves before, between, and during our seven classes a day. We create cute little sayings to shout back and forth in hallways, rename each other with nicknames our mothers never dreamed of. and pick someone out of one of the classes to become our ver. very best friend. We all become friends; after all. would you disect a fetal pig with a stranger or ride in a driver's training car with just anyone behind the wheel? We have so many things in common, we're all serving time, sharing many of the same pressures and all trying to pass U.S. History and Government to be released. Strangely outfitted, skipping and shouting. Seventh Graders through Seniors were seen throughout the school the week prior to the regional games. Being aware of no class separation when someone leaves a treat in his or her locker and armies of ants invade and, of course, everyone knows the pressure of assignment deadlines. Relying on our classmates for companionship, a sympathetic ear. and sometimes the answers to the workbook, these persons become some of the closest friends of our entire lives. The two big events of the Juniors’ year required very industrious workers: the turkey supper and the Junior-Senior Prom. The supper made the prom affor- dable and took place on November 13. The Prom was held in Madison, Indiana, at the Moose Lodge in the month of April. Copperfield” played the music and the Lodge was decorated to the theme of Knights in White Satin. The Junior class offices were occupied by Keith Ab- bott, Presidenti Tom Wagner, Vice Presidenti Christin Hackman, Secretary and Debbie Dunbar, Treasurer. Four Student Council members were Juniors: Mark Gilland. Tena Braley, Bob Vankirk and Christi Kohlmeier. Girls representing this class in the year's queen con- tests were Debbie Dunbar, Homecoming Princess: Tena Braley, F. F. A. Sweethearti Rita Foster. Heart Oueen and Karen Peter, Sunshine Queen. Mr. Luken and Mr. Thole put in much time as class sponsors.

In the Freshmen Tourney at Moores Hill, the freshmen took on South Ripley and lost 37 to 29. Coach Mike Sipe awarded Certificates of Participation to Tony Bolt. Chris Dilk. Jack Granger. Steve Whalbring. Ray Toops. Kenny Kestler. Duane Lovins. Mark Prichett. Rick Burton, Carl Lunsford and Gary McCoy. The Freshman Free Throw Champ award went to Bolt. Certificates were also presented to Freshmen Cheerleaders by Sponsor Mary Jo McClelland including Lucinda Dunbar. Trina Jett. Marlene Downey and Karen Bultman. EIGHTH GRADE BASKETBALL The 1976-77 Eighth Grade Basketball team ended the season with a fine record despite losing their first eight games. It took Coach Chalk a while to get the right combination in the starting line up. Once the experimenting was over, the Junior Eagles won three and lost only two. One interesting note is that these boys never gave up.- in one half of their losses, the Eagles were outscored by only six points or less. At the Winter Sports Banquet, awards were presented to Ron Harlemert, Nate Krieg. Jeff Ogden. Mark Dilk. Bill Moore. Jerry Rose. Mark Lunsford, Jeff Oickman and Brett Snyder. Also receiving certificates of participation were Terry Slone. Karl Bultman. Charlie Meister. Steve Gloyd. Kevin Duerstock. Paul Young. Mark Phillips. Managers Toney Gehl and Jim Henderson and Statisticians Julie Wilhoit and Trina Schuler. Cheerleader awards were presented to Kim Einhaus. Janice Wagner, Nancy Wilson. Tami Crowell and Joni Gilland by their sponsor, Miss Jo Jones. 94 SEVENTH GRADE BASKETBALL The Seventh Grade Basketball team enjoyed a very fine season with a six and six record, climaxed by a second place finish in their annual tournament. The season was cut short by three games due to the bad weather. The team experienced the joy of winning, but also the sorrow in defeat. More than anything else, though, they discovered the importance of hustle and desire, not only during games but also during practices. It was the effort of ALL players, managers, and cheerleaders that made the season as fun and exciting as it was. At the Winter Sports Banquet Coach Ron Probst awarded Certificates of Participation to Jim Ertel. Mitch Tickle. Scott White. Ricky Wilhoit. Jim Gehl. Randy Ward. Mickey Roberts. Jim Wheeler. Bill McCoy. Paul Rork. Roger Huff, Mark Johnson. Brad Ashe. David Rolf. Larry Stearns and Manager Bob Cole. Miss Jo Jones, sponsor of the Seventh Grade Cheerleaders, gave awards to Barbie Meister. Renee James. Regina James and Teresa Menchhofer. If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can’t I paint you? . The words never show the you I’ve come to know . . . We became acquainted with many of the community businessmen when we knocked on ther doors with a copy of last year's annual, an ad subscription, and a pleading look in our eyes. Those who lent a sympathetic ear and gave of their time and finances are presented on the foiowmg pages. Many of the same businesses also support our second publication. Eagles Echo. These generous people made possible such things as sending two sponsors and fifty staff members on the road to insanity, making the journalism workroom appear to be condemned, the photographing of people at just the wrong time, and forcing confused editors to make decisions on some things about which they knew nothing, in other words, the making of A Touch of Class 1977. Without this support we would not have a yearbook to thumb through in 199'. amazed and reminded of our high school years and for this.we thank them.

On the following day they arrived at Laredo, Texas and crossed into Mexico through customs on the thirty-first. June one found the group arriving in Acapulco and ready for a day of beach time, leisure and sight-seeing. The next day a cliff diving exhibition and a yacht cruise were the highlights of a second Acapulco day. A short trip to Tax- eo, the silver capital of the world, was in order for the third of June. And after a harrowing taxi tour of the city, it was on to Mexico City itself. A walking tour of this capital city included the National Palace and the subway system, along with many statues and monuments. For entertainment our party attended a fiesta at their hotel. The next two days were devoted to sightseeing the Aztec Pyramids, bullfights and the National University of Mexico. June seventh found our merry little band traveling through customs to spend the night in San Antonio. After a stop over in Dallas to visit, the Kennedy memorial, the bus moved on to Osgood, arriving in the afternoon of the ninth of June. Hand in hand with lots of fun was lots of help. This we really needed and received in generous amounts from Krider's Studio, Jerry Hunter, Photographer, all of our advertisers, Francis Belio, our Walsworth Publishing Company represen- tative. and all of you, our subscribers. What can we say other than we are very, very grateful for everyone's assistance, couldn't have done it without them and we thank our lucky stars they saw it in their kind hearts to help usl What's the last page of a yearbook for other than to say we're glad its the last page. Oh. don't get us wrongi we had lots of fun. A considerable amount of laughter accompanied the grumbling noises which filtered into the hallway from our workroom. We took a rather lengthy vacation during the time which was to be our most productive period. Back then we thought the snow days were pretty neat but you can believe us, we paid dearly for missing important deadlines, forgetting we had copy to write, and sledriding. We were rewarded with even more staying after school and there wasn’t anything more fun this year than staying after schooll IF” when Words and Music by David Gates If a picture thousand words, it you?
