Mfr fiwrjfftt ffgilgjilffyfilyixgg W ,W f X- Hlgh School 1942-1954 We dedicate the 1955 NA UTILUS in lasting memory of our late beloved principal, Mr. H. Lynn Miller, who died December 28, 1954. Born at Montmorenci, Mr. Miller grew up in that community and graduated from high school there. He took post graduate work at JQHBTSOH before going to Indiana University where he gradu- ated in 1909 with an AB degree. In 1933 he received an MA degree from Purdue. Mr. Miller joined the Montmorenci school staff in 1923 and taught there until becoming a member of the Jefferson stajf as a mathematics teacher. He became dean of boys in 1931 and was made principal in 1942. N0 one was more familiar with our high school, its progress, and growth than Mr. Miller. For some time he had been engaged in writing a book on the history of Jefferson High School and its students. We at Jefferson High School will always cherish the memory of him and of his many contributions to our training for the future. WL. have lost a good friend and a great leader.

While at Jeff we had many experiences and every one of them helped us to develop and mature mentally, socially, physically, and emo- tionally. These accomplishments will be decid- ing factors in our future lives. Education is the main purpose of any high school. jeffis curriculum familiarized us with all subjects needed for occupations after grad- uation, whether in the business, science, or art fields. We were prepared also for family living. Besides being equipped with the know-howsv and 'Kknow-whysn of subjects, we learned to think and use our mental ability. We went to school to learn. The social merry-go-round was a necessity in our past four years. We must be able to work and co-operate with others to get along in life. VVhere in the world can you go to a place that is not inhabited by people? Organizations, so- cial events, such as dances or picnics, enabled us to make friends and have fun. Sooner or later none of us were uwallflowersv. Many sports provided us a means of develop- ing ourselves physically. The important element of sportsmanship also is acquired through sports. Some of us may participate in sports even after high school. To be emotionally mature is very necessary in our lives. We found ourselves feeling very low sometimes, and then there were those times when we felt as if we were sitting on top of the worldv. By experiencing these different emotions we learned to face life and we will look for Kthe sunny-side of the street in the future. Remember when we were freshmen? High school was quite a new experience to us then. In our sophomore year we were just getting acquainted with that big jeff school. Then how those next two years flew and now we have had our senior year. T Yes, you, jeff, trained us for the future. We just want to say thanks, thanks a lot.

Our English Department is assuring these freedoms in the future by helping us to express our opinions correctly and effectively. We should appreciate the fine courses that are offered to us such as speech, composition, literature, radio and TV, dramatics, and journalism. The English curriculum provides for three courses of study: Academic English, General English, and Remedial English. The Academic English program is required of all students going to college and may be elected by any other pupil. The Academic English is divided into one semester of litera- ture each year for three years. The fourth year of Academic English is an elective and in- cludes composition and English literature. The General English is designed for the non-college preparatory student. The program emphasizes functional grammar, oral compo- sition, practical Written composition, and a broad reading program to develop reading skills and interests. The Remedial English program is designed to help the students who need individual instruction. Whoid like to play the policeman? pinions Correctl Courses in literature are valuable not only as a background for college work, but also as an introduction to great classics, poetry, and other works handed down to us through the ages. It helps us to understand and appre- ciate the writings of notable authors. journalism unfolds the knowledge of the newspaper to the students who elect to take it. The school paper is compiled by members of the classes giving them experience in work- ing on a paper. The Speech Department at jeff is continu- ally growing in the courses and activities which it offers. Many students are taking ad- vantage of the fine opportunities which these courses offer. Speech development, radio and TV, and public speaking are the subjects that are helping to make members of the classes better speakers in public appearance, in front of a mike, or in conversation. Composition, a college preparatory subject, instructs students how to express themselves in writing in a manner that will interest others and yet convey thoughts to them. Pantomime, one-act plays, stage-settings, and make-up are what students learn in dra- matics. These classes put on a book-week skit for the English classes and one-act plays for their own enjoyment. What did Chaucer mean by this? Now, what is the predicate adjective? Panel discussions simplify literature and make it more enjoyable. Page 9 Be careful, it might blow up! American progress was founded by applied science. The Science Department here at Jeff strives to give each student a basic under- standing of science fundamentals, so that he may pursue a science career after high school. The Science Department starts in the ninth grade, since all freshman students are required to take biology. Biology deals with the fun- damentals of plant and animal life, and it gives the student a brief but understandable knowledge of the functions of his own an- atomy. Students who are interested in furthering their science studies may take physics during their junior year. Seniors may take two semesters of chem- istry. This course deals with the study of chemical formulas and chemical reactions. If a student does not wish to take two full years of chemistry and physics, he may take physical science. Teachers in the ninth grade biology classes are Mr, Roger Claseman, Mr. Iohn Lazar, and Mr. Darrel Neidigh. Mr. William Levering teaches physics, and Mr. Luther Troutman teaches chemistry. Mr. Levering and Mr. Troutman both teach physi- cal science. To Upen Page 10 How do you adjust these scales? Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones . . .D Theylre all stuck on algebra. New Fields Although only one year of mathematics is required, many students take advantage of the varied mathematics courses offered at jeff, which are useful in every phase of life. Ever stop to think how important math is in planning a good budget or stretching an allowance? Taxes, financial and business prob- lems also depend on this important science. Commercial math offers these fundamentals needed for every day use in the home or in a business. For college preparatory students four years of math are advisable. Jeffis Math Department provides everything from algebra to trigonom- etry. These math courses are essential in many professional fields. We have a very large staff in our Math Department. In the junior high, Miss Ruth Sexton, Mr. Ernest Deagan, Mr. David Bon- ham, and Mr. Robert Taylor teach general and remedial math and algebra. The senior high math courses consist of advanced and college algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and commercial and senior math. Miss Mary Frances Seever, Mr. Milton Leverenz, Mr. George Kenzler, and Mr. Robert Taylor instruct these courses. Can you describe a parabola? Page 11 Can you name the natural resources of this country? Many of us at Jefferson attach too little signiiicance to the subjects in the Social Studies Department, which are very impor- tant in preparing us for life after We leave Jeff to take a job or go to college by giving us an insight into world and United States affairs. During our freshman year at jeff, we get our iirst taste of social studies in an orienta- tion class. This class is for the purpose of acquainting us with our new school, teach- ers, and schoolmates. It is necessary to acquaint every beginning student with the information he needs. World history is the study of the condi- tions of the world in which we live and is oi-tered as an elective subject in our sopho- more year. Along with world history comes World geography, which is also offered as an elective. Our next encounter with social studies is in our junior year, when we are required to take United States history. This history course gives us a background of our fore- fathers and introduces us to our government. In our senior year we are required to take civics, which is the study of our government. To Preserve I P i How about that? I got an A. Page 12 nn,nA one Now, Lafayette has the mayor-council type of government. Corn is raised in all of these states Our Herita e Civics teaches us the laws and rights of mankind. The other semester of our senior year is filled With sociology, economics, or Latin- American history. Sociology is the study of society and liv- ing conditions. Economics is the study of the science of manis activities, devoted to acquiring mate- rial possessions to satisfy his Wants. If you are interested in studying about our neighbors to the south, Latin-American his- tory will give you all the facts-past and present. In the junior high teaching orientation is Mr. Gerald Clark, Miss Mary Foltz, and Mrs. Arlene Smith, a new teacher this year. Teaching world geography is Miss Mabel Beaver. Mr. Alfred Mauer teaches World history. United States history is taught by Mr. Ray- mond Bender, Mr. Ellis Hopkins, Mr. Heber Short, and Mr. Mauer. Mr. Bender, Mr. Hopkins, and Mr. Short teach civics. Teaching economics and sociology is Mrs. Eclytlic Van Camp. W' XVlierc in the world is Upper Slobovia? 1'1l!1l' .I tant subject. lege lectures.

Financial systems, communications, filing, and transportation are among the sub- jects studied in this course. Taught by Mr. Andrews, Miss Nash, and Mr. Cortner, the students learn to control their own finance wisely. Mr. Andrews teaches the various methods of selling, with special emphasis placed upon personal contact. In salesmanship, the stu- dents learn how to open a sale, entice cus- tomers to buy their products, actually sell the goods, and increase the amount of sale. In merchandising, the numerous marketing activities and the transportation of goods from manufacturers to customers are taught by Mr. Andrews. Merchandising includes the pur- chasing, selling to customers, storage of goods, and the process of operating a business, whether it be retail or wholesale. Bookkeeping is the study of keeping rec- ords of business transactions and making re- ports, showing the conditions of the business. Mr. Russell Bradley teaches this course, which enables the students to keep account of their own money. Business law teaches students just what limits are placed on business dealings. Mr. Bradley teaches business law, which is thc study of how a businessman acts when deal- ing with others. This column just will not add up right! XVho will Win in the race against time? Can you take a hundred words a minute? To Relax, Appreciate, For those students who intend to make music a career or who End it relaxing, Iefler- son offers both vocal and instrumental music. Instrumental music is under the direction of Mr. Richard W. Bowles, who directs the Foot- ball Band, the Concert Band, the Varsity Band, and the Orchestra. The Football Band performed at the foot- ball games, entertaining the crowd with its formations as well as its music. Playing their best in contests and concerts was the main responsibility of the Concert Band. The Varsity Band provided the music for the pep songsf, at the basketball games. Rehearsing for contests, concerts, convos, and the Red and Black Revue took up most ot the time of the Orchestra. This year introduced two new personalities in the vocal section of our Music Department, Mr. Russell Pett and Miss Joanne Jonas. Mr. Pett directed the a Cappella Choir, which sang at numerous convos and concerts. The Choralairs and the Girls, Glee Club, which participated in the Red and Black Re- vue, were also under the direction of Mr. Pett. Ninth grade music classes were taught by both Mr. Pett and Miss Jonas. Instruments are put away after another day's practice. Make mine music. Palyv Iii And Learn That tree needs a touch of yellow. Art is the study of drawing, painting, and modeling, and attaining the ability of doing it easily and skillfully. Under the direction of Miss Ceorgianna Kienly, Ieff's Art Depart- ment tries to fulfill this deHnition in its work. Every art student had a sketch book. A committee from the classes planned the type of art work for every six weeks. Miniature model rooms including furniture, appliances, and interior decorating taught the students home knowledge to be used in the future. The kiln was the center of activity for the advance students who made varied pottery. Murals, record albums, masks, and posters for various contests were also among the many projects. Between the second and third floors attractive art displays by the Art Department always caught the eye of everyone. This departmentis work is not just limited to the art room only. Advanced students de- signed the backdrop for the Queen of Hearts Dance. The art students were very helpful in the Red and Black Revue by painting the backdrops. An exhibit of all the classes, art work was seen at the 'iHoof-Beats , the Music Depart- mentis musical revue. XVorking with clay is very interesting. i Pu ge I7 To Be United In Lan uages Part of our training for the future, especially for those of us who are going to college, comes from the Foreign Language Department. The study of a foreign language serves a dual purpose by helping us to understand our own language better and by familiarizing us with the customs of the land from which it comes. Many people think Latin is a dead language, but this is not true, it plays an important part in our modern World today. Approximately two- thirds of the words in English are derived from Latin. Miss Carolyn GriHin, the Latin teacher, helps acquaint us with the customs of ancient Rome. As our language comes from Latin, our civilization finds many roots in the lives of the ancient Romans. Anyone who is planning to make law, medicine, or science his vocation will End an important help in the study of Latin. Spanish joins us more closely with our neigh- bors to the south by teaching us their Ways and customs, and a knowledge of Spanish would make a possible future trip to Mexico or South America much more enjoyable. Miss Wahneta Mullen is the teacher of this romantic modern language. Two years, instruction is offered in both Spau- ish and Latin. This gives us a strong foundation in grammar and vocabulary. Classes are made interesting by such activities as making posters, decorating bulletin boards, Writing reports, and listening to records. VVhat odd dresses thc Romans worc! Page 18 Playing castanets isn't as easy as it looks. Polly Posturei' and Sally Slumpv demonstrate the right and Wrong Ways to stand. To Keep Health Strong bodies as Well as strong minds is the principle on which our Physical Education De- partment at jeff is based. Under excellent super- vision and with an eye for the future our Physical Education Department is building happier, healthier citizens. Health classes during the sophomore year also give the students a Well-rounded knowledge of the proper way to preserve their health. The boys, classes are taught by Mr. Orval Martin, while the girls are taught by Mrs. Emily Price. Boys, gym classes are conducted by Mr. Marion Crawley and Mr. C. Lyboult. Mrs. Gertrude Krueger and Miss Joanne Jonas are the supervisors of the girls, gym classes. Football is a favorite sport at the Held. And Happ In fair weather during the fall, outdoor foot- ball is played by teams in the boys, classes and tests on skills such as punting, passing, and place kicking are given. Group games, including cal- isthenics, are played. Softball is played at the football field in the spring. The girls' program consists of modern danc- ing, basketball, volleyball, tennis, badminton, and games developing grace and coordination. During one six Weeks, period, girls, and boys, classes are combined for coeducational courses, such as square dancing and social dancing in the little gym. Page 19 To En jo Bezng Good Homemakers To learn to manage a ho1ne efficiently is the aim of every future homemaker. A knowledge of food and food preparation is not all that is needed. Clothing, first aid, child care, and other necessities play an important part in home life. Sewing classes, under the direction of Miss Helen Grishaw, help the girls become acquainted with up-to-the-minute styles and fashions. Along with learning the fun- damentals of sewing, the girls enlarge their own wardrobes. First aid and practical nursing are taught by Miss Gleela Ratcliffe. In the home nurs- ing and child study courses, knowledge of how to care for the convalescent, simple nursing procedures, physical and psycho- logical needs of children, and development of skills in first aid are taught. Pleasant odors drift from delicious dishes prepared by the students of Miss Irina Slayback and Miss Ratcliife. Table decora- tions and placement of dishes and silver are also included in this thorough training program. The greatest accomplishment of thc Home Economics Department is teaching students to live together harmoniously and happily. Its a woinanls world in foods classes. Don,t Scorch that pretty skirt you made. Family Living class prepares gnls for family lifc now and lah-r. A knowledge of electricity helps people in any job. Ie-if's busy presses give practice to future printers To Prepare or killed Trades Ieffs Industrial Arts Department has be- come one of the most developed departments in the state in the past few years. W'e have professional and semi-professional tools and machinery that enable us to get a thorough knowledge of industrial arts. We learn the importance and care of the actual tools and machinery which we would use in shops across the nation. These courses pro- vide a very adequate background of skilled industrial occupations. Our curriculum includes general shop, auto mechanics, woodworking, printing, mechani- cal drawing, electricity, beginning machine shop, and vocational machine shop. Mr. Gerald Hitchings, Mr. Robert Leavitt, and Mr. George Price teach general shop. Mr. Hitchings teaches woodshop, Mr. Leavitt in- structs mechanical drawing, and Mr. Price also teaches electricity. Printing is taught by Mr. Elbert Morgan. Mr. Richard Thoennes teaches auto shop, and vocational machine shop is taught by Mr. H. Wills. Mechanical drawing is a puzzling art. Woodworking shop turns out useful articles. To Dance For un Mike LeVitt was crowned Chief Spaceman at Destination Moonf, Mike LeVitt was crowned space mann of Destination Moonf, the 1954 Bronchoette Gallop held at Allen,s Ballroom, October 9, 1954. Susan Rostov, president of the Sunshine Society which sponsored the dance, crowned Mike and presented him a billfold. Other candidates for king were Ted Barrett, Paul Cooper, Mike Costello, Bill Davis, Ralph Maple, Iohn McBeath, Duff McKenzie, Dick Neel, Dick Schrader, and Dude Taylor. Every attendant received proper headgear for the occasion. Approximately two hundred fifty couples danced to the music of the Ambassadors who played the sweetest music this side of the moon. Stars, moons, and a rocket ship created the heavenly atmosphere. This first girl-ask-boy dance of the year will long be remembered. This was the night when the girls footed the bill when it came to flowers, transportation, and goodies Some of the girls brought their dates to the dance in their rocket shipsv and they all presented them with corsages that were Gout of this worldf' The boys were not taken home on an empty stomach. Yes, it was quite a night and after it was all over, everyone came back down to earth. See you next year, maybe we can make our destiny the moon againf, Jane Fowler, general chairman of the Gallop, As a switch, the girls are the escorts for this dance. discusses the dance with part of her committee. Page 22 And Romance Paulene Minneman was crowned queen for a night at the Queen of Hearts, the jeff Hi-Yis annual dance. Ed Becker, president of the Hi-Y, gave Paulene a spray of red roses and a heart locket. The queen,s attendants, Linda McNeely and Marsha Vance, received pink Carnation bouquets. Other candidates for queen were Mary Shoemaker, Carol Hazelbaker, Donna Hab- ben,.Gail Painter, and julie Kalberer. Candi- dates were petitioned by Jeff Hi-Y members, and all attending the dance cast ballots for queen as they entered the dance. The North Ballroom of the Purdue Union Building was the scene of the dance on Janu- ary 22, from nine to twelve. Music by Wayne Luby and his fifteen-piece band put the boys and their queens in a romantic mood. The band entertained them with some bop', numbers, as well as provid- ing dreamy dance music. A heart-decorated backdrop and pink lights, together with the girls in vari-colored formals, completed the gay transformation of the ballroom. It is a tradition of this dance that jeff Hi-Y members give their dates favors instead of Howers. This year these gifts were furry toy skunks with bracelets on their tails. Each bracelet was engraved with the girlis initial and Queen of Hearts, l955.7' The girls added the skunks to their souvenir collections and proudly wore their bracelets to the dance. Paulene Minneman was elected Queen of Hearts. ,bpd The program committee admires the finished Sweet shop, sweet girls-what more could you want? product. Page 2 King Rex always reigns over the Mardi Gras. Colorful costumes added to the gay atmosphere. To Celebratefl Gay punish Fiesta Colorful decorations, good music, and a gay spirit were captured in a celebrated at- mosphere of the Spanish Club's Mardi gras held March 26, 1955, at Allen's Ballroom. Pete Trower and his Spotlighters', set the pace for the many costumed dancers filling the ballroom. Everyone received Gsombreros es- panolesv as favors at the door. A large paper mache, figure of King Rex, the actual King of the Mardi gras, was the center of the decorations. Pink, black, and gray colors with masks, streamers, and balloons caught the eye of every merrymaker. The climax of the evening was the crowning of the Mardi gras King and his date who were Stan Kingma and Judy Spiker. The candidates for king were kept secret until the very night of the dance, making the evening one of sus- pence and excitement. Walkiiig into the ballroom, we felt that we were at the real New Orleans, Mardi gras. Letis hope the Spanish Club will be saying KCome, come, to the Mardi grasv in the future years, for if it does we can be sure to have many more merry times. Page 21, Stan Kingma was crowned King Rex, and Judy Spiker was his queen. To Practice Democracy Sign right here if you Want to elect the best candidate for President. Voting in high school enables us to practice a future citizenis responsibility. Voting is a duty that everyone should exercise. We get acquainted with this privilege by having class elections starting in our freshman year. Sen- iors, juniors, and sophomores made use of the voting machine provided by the County Com- mission. This yearis senior election found many can- didates up for the three offices which were president, vice-president, and secretary-treas- urer. No tickets Were used. The names of the candidates arranged on the voting machine were done by lotting. The 1955 class officers elected were Paul Cooper, president, Bill Davis, vice-president, and Cary Johnson, secretary-treasurer. Other candidates for president were Pe- quetti VVilhauck, Norma Becht, and Mike Costello. Joanne Pottlitzer and Duff McKen- zie ran for vice-president. Candidates for sec- retary-treasurer were Ronnie Bollock and Susan Rostov. Candidates were nominated by petitions and every petition required fifty names. Campaign posters adorned the halls during election Week. As a result of electing all boy oflicers, many of the girls followed tradition and wore boys, clothing after election day. Machines are used for democratic voting. Congratulations on winning the election! Page 25 To Live Together Pleasantl It's your move. Do you like to dance and listen to good music, or would you rather play table tennis or checkers? Whatever your taste, you can have fun at the Columbian Park Youth Cen- ter. There is a good band on the stage at the pavilion each Wednesday night. The Lafayette Federation of Musicians provides the music. The Jeff Dance Band, the Salty Dogs, and several professional bands have made an appearance at the Youth Center. Dancing and just talking center on the top floor. In the basement are ping-pong tables, checker boards, shuffleboard, cards, and bin- go. Checker tournaments are sometimes held in the basement. Many students of Iefferson and surrounding schools came to Youth Center regularly and enjoyed its facilities. Mr. Charles Hopkins Was the manager of the Youth Center. Each Wednesday night he supervised giving door prizes to certain lucky ones. Rosie and Mr. Hopkins really go to town. Page 26 This was the sixth year of the Youth Cen- ter, The anniversary was celebrated in Iann- ary. Special parties also provided extra en- tertainment at Christmas, before school, and after the prom. I Clarinet music is terrific for dancing. To Enjo Friends And Fellowship What to do on Saturday nightv has always been a problem to Jeff students. The Spot',, a new youth center under the supervision of the Y.W.C.A., was the solution to our problem this year. As extra features during the year the Spot,, held mixers after three home basketball games, a Christmas party, Dec. 22, and was open during the Sectional Tourneys between sessions. As a gesture in recognition of Mr. Lynn Miller's fine work at jeff, the 1'Spotv presented the school before the last home basketball game an oil painting of him. This portrait is now hang- ing at Jeff as a lasting memorial. A governing board consisting of IeH girls and boys supervise the Spots, functions. To honor and preserve the memory of Mr. Lynn Miller, the 'KSpot club presented an oil portrait of him to the school. Please show me your member- ship card. Ping-pong is a favorite pastime at the Spot, Page 27 Representatives of each act came back for the finale of the finale. To Familiarize Us 1'Music Moodsi' was the appropriate theme of the annual Red and Black Revue held in the Iefl gym, November 4, 1954. Bob Schaaf, sophomore, was Master of Ceremonies of the one night show which had a cast of almost three hundred. Around three thousand people witnessed the showing of Iefl's biggest annual revue of the year. We who participated in the Red and Blackv agree with that ever popular song, 'Thereis No Business Like Show Businessf' because we ex- perienced it. Who knows? Maybe some of us may be a part of that everlasting business some- day just because we had that chance to display our hidden talents in high school. If this is not the case, we know even then that having such a revue gives us an even more important gain, that of working and co-operating with others. Mr. George Price, shop teacher, was general chairman of this yearis revue which consisted of Hve acts and ten specialties. Act I was called Gypsy Holiday, and was under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Andrews, commercial teacher. The setting had a group of dancing gypsies around a fire. Dark Eyesv, and Romanian Bhapsodyv carried out the theme of a gypsy,s holiday. A ghost town was the setting of Act II, directed Page 28 He's not a lone cowhandu any more. uAwav down south in Dixicf' Music Moodsf, the Rcvuc's theme, was reflected by the orchestra. With how Business by Mrs. lane Xvilliams, speech teacher. The ghost town became very much alive when cowboys, bronc busters, rope twirlers, and show girls in- vaded it. The spirit of the lone prairie appeared in the western songs, 'Tm A Lone Cow Handv, 'cltiders In the Skyn, and 'Tiagtimo Cowboy Ioev. The third act switched to the sidewalks of New York in the time of the Gay Nineties. Mr. George Smith, junior counselor, directed this act. The songs, 'The Spinning Waltzip and Sidewalks of New Yorkv, highlighted the act. Another at- traction was two people riding a unicycle accom- panied by the song, nllicycle Built for Twov. VVe journeyed way down South in Dixie for Act lV, directed by Miss Joanne Jonas, freshman music and gym teacher. The scene took place by the waterfront with workers lounging on cotton bales in the background. The act was mostly pantomime showing the true feelings of the South. aThe St. Louis Bluesv, Darktown Strut- ters Ballv, i'Short,nen Breadv, and Lucky Ole' Simi, were songs which completed this Dixie act. All of the humdrum activities of those daring days were brought to life in the Roaring 20's, Act V, directed by Miss Joyce Randall, English i P1106 fl!!

In the sweet shop was found Sweet Georgia Brownn, complete with a quartet, and Charleston number. At the football game there was a dance sequence and cheerleaders. The finale represented 'fmusical moodsv eX- tremes. The choral groups danced the Latin American dance, the congo, and the bunny-hop, one of the latest American dance fads. The finale also featured solos and the a Cappella Choir, Choralairs, and Glee Club. Mr. Russell Pett. music teacher, directed the finale. The entire show was accompanied by the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Richard Bowles. Other faculty committee chairmen for the revue were Specialties, Mr. C. Martin, Pub- licity, Mr. C.

Page 31 0 Displa Our Musical Talent Spacemen came hurtling to our gym in their flying saucers on February 3, 1955, with twenty- four hours to see what American life is like. The cast of Hoof-Beatsv tried to show them a cross- section of life in the United States and at the same time entertained a large crowd of specta- tors. Hoof-Beatsv is produced almost entirely by members of the two bands, the orchestra, and the a Cappella Choir. Jill, played by loyce Longren, told the space- men her beliefs by singing I Believev, with the a Cappella Choir. Then Dave Culross, saying, Actions are stronger than wordsv, began to show them how we live. The show proceeded through a clothing dis- play, a weight-lifting act, gymnastics, orchestra and Dixieland band selections, and various songs and dances. Vivian Forster portrayed a teacher, Arnold Yarno, a policeman, Mike Lane, the villain, and Sondra Tingay, a spoiled little girl with a hot trumpet. ':Hoof-Beatsv, produced and directed by Mr. Richard VV. Bowles, has made such a hit in thc last two years that it will become an annual production. Thosc crazy cats really jazz it np!

The 1955 Senior Prom climaxed our last year in high school and left in our minds for years and years to come a terrific evening. Maybe We should say morning too. Senior Prom night usually starts early in the evening and lasts till those Wee hours of the morning. Many Prom 'tgoersi' started the evening with a dinner party. Then it was off to the Prom, the boys in their snappy tuxes and the girls in those special Prom formals. Entering into the gym through trellis-cov- ered doors, We found ourselves in a Spanish patio enclosed in pink Walls. The gym was totally beyond recognition. On the south end of the gym large White steps led up the middle to the stage which had been transformed into a garden with a large fountain in the center. Prom committee chairmen: M. LeVitt, bandg I.

Even though youth dominates the entire play, the fathers of the Blakely and Hobson families, that have been close friends and neighbors for ten years, actually cause the fracas. It all started when Mr. Larry Hobson induces Mr. Edgar Blakely to invest with him in a real estate deal which involves a toll road to Chicago. Mr. Hobsonis son Keith and Mr. Blakelyis daugh- ter Janet had planned to attend a co-ed college together. Janet and Keith each had his own col- lege fund. Since Mr. Hobson and Mr. Blakely had no money for their deal, their thoughts N Eiii . d ' l .' ..l', turned immediately to these funds. When Mrs. Blakely and Mrs. Hobson found out about the proposed deal they assured their husbands thc deal had better come off 'cor elsev. The course of the toll road Was changed. This caused their plans to backiire. The next thing you know the big mad was on. Both households were in a turmoil. Janet and Keith, the only sensible people around, turn an apparent loss into a profitable investment that will pay their Way through col- lege. Their money-mad parents got shocked when they heard the toll road was going straight through their living rooms. The big mad was on again! ow e, you 'itten to your own uuslness.

Guiding us through our high school career is an unparalleled faculty. We at JeHerson are for- tunate to have a staff of teachers so Well suited for their work. They have not only broad knowl- edge, but also the ability to impart this knowl- edge to the students. Our teachers work un- ceasingly to better their abilities, some study- ing at colleges or universities during the sum- mer or along With their regular Work. Co-operation is the characteristic which makes any group outstanding. Our teachers prove their possession of this trait by their Will- ingness to help others. Whether a single stu- dent needs advice, another teacher needs a stand-in, or an organization needs a sponsor, a volunteer can be found among our faculty. Each of our organizations, such as the Hi-Yis, Sunshine Society, Tri-Hi-Y, Spanish and Latin clubs, and the G.A.A., has one or more faculty advisors. Teachers and counselors also sponsor Page 50 talent shows and class projects. Teachers from different departments head the various acts of the Red and Black Revue. Jeff students think of their teachers as friends. Gone are the days of the reigning tyrant, who ruled over the classroom with a heavy hand. Our teachers make understanding and patience their rule, this also applies to our administration. After the sudden death of Mr. Lynn Miller, Mr. Cecil Webb, the former junior high-school principal, stepped up into the position of senior high principal. Mr. Charles Martin, formerly the senior counselor, became principal of the junior high. These men have capably taken on their responsibilities, and have performed their duties Well. We are truly proud of our faculty and ad- ministrators, and We are glad We have such competent leaders as part of our training for the future. 'W W K www 4 Qmzfaara, Ulla Mr. I.

Page 61 l i 1 eff Trains Us To Accept Responsibilit . . . Ieffis many organizations added spice and meaning to a studentis life. These organizations played a very important role in providing us entertainment and enjoyment, and even more important to us were the responsibilities they gave us which made us leaders now and for the future. We benefited by their activities by improving ourselves as well as our school. Letis first look over the social life of our clubs. Sponsoring dances, mixers, picnics, and convocations were some of their diversions which brightened everyday school life. Oh, how we longed for that second hour convo which took the humdrum out of an ordinary school day. Just the dream of a coming dance gave us something really to look forward to. Practically our entire social life whirls right around our high schoolis organizations. Every organization has its purpose and it exercises this purpose by its many activities. We P11 gf' 6 'Z found these activities provided us oodles and oodlesv of fun among ourselves, but putting others before ourselves was even more impor- tant. We devoted our time, our money, and ourselves in many of our clubs to helping others in various ways. Spreading cheer to others made that cheer appear in us also. Little did we realize when being initiated into these organizations their important part in our high school days. Lighting that candle at that memorable initiation service lighted the way to a never-to-be-forgotten fellowship. The picture to the right shows some of the organizations, members fixing the school-wide Christmas baskets for needy families. Turkey with all the trimmings were found in those bas- kets. jeff students made their slogan Seek your highest joy in giving, not in receivingf' Those who delivered the baskets realized the impor- tance of that project and they found that joy.

Orchestra Violins, violas, and other stringed instru- ments form the heart of the Ieflerson Orches- tra. The purpose of the orchestra, in addition to providing music on appropriate occasions, is to furnish for its members a chance to play music especially adapted for string instru- ments. Our orchestra played for the opening and closing, and accompanied various acts of the Red and Black Revue. Members of the or- chestra participated in the 1955 version of Hoof-Beatsv.

Choralairs Although the Choralairs provides a chance to sing for fun and study, the primary purpose of this mixed choral group is to train future a Cappella Choir members. The members of the Choralairs were chos- en by try-outs, and included approximately fifty students, freshmen through seniors. This group met three hours a Week as a regularly scheduled class, and members also partici- pated in sectional rehearsals once a Week be- fore school. Major activities of the Choralairs this year included the Christmas Concert, Christmas Convocation, the Choral Festival at Green- castle, and the Spring Choral Concert in our auditorium.

This is a service club for the pur- pose of helping teachers and students better utilize audio-visual materials. Every hour of each school day there was an elected head stationed in the library who as- signed the members to operate the equipment in use that period. Sometimes there were as many as six Elms to be shown in one hour, not including the record player, wire and tape re- corder, and slide film projectors. Other activities this year included sponsoring a mixer, helping with the Christmas baskets, and furnishing boys to Work at concessions at the basketball games. Ken O,Maley was elected president of thc Audio-Visual Club. Serving as vice-president was Alan Rusk. Phil Denhardt was secretary- treasurer. Mr. L. W. Smith and Mr. R. W. Levering Were sponsors. It's easier to understand when you can see it. Page 70 They're off for another day's Work. Li brar Assistants Books make good friendsv is the belief of the library assistants and they promote their belief by encouraging the reading of books among jeff students. Most of the members in the Library As- sistants, Club have had experience helping in the library. The members check attend- ance, card and shelve books, process new books, and run errands. Meetings are held every Thursday morning during homeroom. Besides library duties these student li- brarians have many other activities. The library assistants sponsor Book Weekl' and put up a display in the library, they also provide the displays for the plays and pro- grams of the dramatic classes. At Christmas the Club sponsored a tea and book display for the faculty members. The Club attended a conference at Ball State. Money for the club is earned by having mixers. Library Assistants for the year were pres- ident, Donna Habben, vice-president, Judy Cuppy, and secretary-treasurer, Susan Rostov. Mr. L. VV.

As the congressional governing body repre- sents the people in the United States govern- ment, our Student Council's similar purpose is to bring a closer relationship among the students, faculty, and adrninistration. Every homeroom was represented at the coun- cilis Wednesday morning meetings. At these meetings, problems are discussed and solved. The administration and faculty were always ready to help and give advice. This yearis Student Council's officers Were president, Mike Costello, vice-president, Dick tudent Council Crosserg secretary, Paulene Minneman, assistant secretary, Mary Clare F inley, and treasurer, Bill Davis. The sponsors of the Student Council were Mrs. Marian Gettings, Mr. Ernest Cortner, and Mr. Milt Leverenz. This organization also gives the student an- other important asset, that of participating in a democratic way of life. It is certain that with organizations like this We will be better citizens in our future lives. Seated are M. Finley, assistant secretary, P. Minneman, secretary, M. Costello, president, D.

Booster Sta ff '4Bigger and Betterv seemed to be the motto of this yearis BOOSTER staff since our high school newspaper became just what this slogan advo- cated. The BOOSTER became larger when it added a column in width and one and a half inches in length. Another big change was that the staff members no longer received credit. Belonging to the BOOSTER staff is now extracurricular. To belong to the BOOSTER is considered an honor. First, one must have taken a semester of journalism, then he must be chosen by the Edi- torial Board which consists of the editor, assistant editor, associate editor, news editor, feature edi- tor, and sports editor. Oneis interest and ability determines his position on the staff. A special BOOSTER Convocation introduced the sales campaign early at the beginning of the school year. Marty Flynn, editor of the BOOST- ER, acted as Master of Ceremonies of the BOOSTER Beauty Contest. Mr. Bill Fraser, radio and history teacher, and Norma Becht danced the ajitterbugv and were awarded first prize, which was the first BOOSTER. After the convo, free BOOSTERS were passed out. This yearis sales campaign proved to be very success- ful as their subscription total reached 1207. All-American rating, the highest honor given high school newspapers by the National Scholas- Prlyf' '70 tic Press Association, was awarded the BOOSTER for the first semester of this school year. Quill and Scroll, National Honorary Society for High School Journalists, awarded the Ieff BOOSTER the International First Place Award for the second semester of the last school year. This award goes to high school newspapers show- ing substantial achievements during the semester. Many of the staff members attended the Wa- bash Valley Press Conference at Terre Haute and the Franklin Conference at Franklin, Indiana. Sue Bussell, this yearis associate editor, was elected secretary of the Indiana High School Press Association for next year at the Franklin Conference. The flying journalistsv were still in the air this year as they made two trips to two cities to visit their newspapers. The trips in order of pref- erence were made by the BOOSTER staff, begin- ning journalists, printers, and students. October 28, 1954, was the date of the visit to the Mil- waukee Journal at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The second semester the winged-journalistsi' visited the Detroit News, April 19, 1955, at Detroit, Michigan. Mr. C. I. Hopkins is advisor of the BOOSTER. Printing advisor is Mr. Elbert F. Morgan.

This question asks if you are familiar with Spanish customs and traditions. If your answer is no, but that you would like to become acquainted with Spanish subjects, then the Spanish Club is the club for you, if you have taken or are taking Spanish. Many special activities were enjoyed throughout the school year. Breaking the pi- nata filled with candy and eating rosca de reyes CMeXican Christmas cakej highlighted the annual Spanish Christmas party. This Mexican cake contained two dolls, it is a Spanish custom that the two people receiving them must have a party for all members. During Pan American week in April the Spanish Club had a dinner featuring the Latin American Menu. This dinner acquainted the members with actual Spanish food, which was very hot. Thoughts were again turned to food at the spring picnic. This year the Spanish Club sponsored their Mardi Gras dance, held at Allenis ballroom on March 26, 1955. Joanne Pottlitzer was chair- man of this dance. Miss Wahneta Mullen, Spanish teacher, was sponsor. Oiiicers this year were Dave Lux, president, Ricki Cillaspy, vice-president, Ioanne Pott- litzer, secretary, and Susan Rostov, treasurer.

Rahlv jeft's Block Section kept cheering the basketball team on through every home game, adding excitement to the games and boosting the players' morale. The one hun- dred eighty-tvvo girls formed letters spelling the opponents, names or Bronchos,' and pre- sented special arrangements of yells and songs. Besides contributing to the singing of the jeff school song, the girls of the Block Section sang the Broncho fight song, '6Frankie and Iohnniev, Bronchos, Bring Us a Dreamv, and others. The band joined the Block Section in performing many of these. This year the girls Wore red sweaters, White collars, and white gloves, making a bright spot in the gym at every home game. For some games they waved colorful pom-poms or held cards to make letters. Paulene Minneman, senior, was captain of the Block Section, and Mary Ann Rose was junior co-captain. This year, for the first time, a governing board helped the captains make decisions concerning the Block Section. The governing board consisted of Carol Risk, Mary Shoemaker, Etta Stichter, Sue Leaming, Linda Isfalt, and Helen DeLong. Miss Carolyn Grif- fin was the faculty sponsor. Many people think that the spirit of the Block Section helped the team get that wonderful record, as well as to make the games interest- ing. That is exactly the aim of the Block Section!

A bowling league member adds some additional points to his score. Those high scores come from practice, and this is provided by membership in the Jeff Bowling League. Sixteen students bowled at the Lafayette Bowl- ing Alley each Thursday from 3:30 until 5:30. The bowling year ended April 28, 1955. Mr. Richard Thoennes was the sponsor of the Bowling League. Ora Strong was presi- dent, and Leslie Tucker was secretary-treas- urer. Four teams compose the League and these teams competed with one another. Played in this manner, the game develops a high degree of sportsmanship and companionship. Heading the teams were Ora Strong, Leslie Tucker, Dave Houston, and Michael Klinker. Ora Strong led the bowlers with an average game score of 185 and the highest individual set score of 608. John Bohr came in second on both game and set. Ora Strong held the record for the highest game scored in the league, 242, and his team headed the league with 1600 as their average set score. The Ieff Bowling League certainly accom- plishes its goal, which is to have fun while giving young people interested in the game a chance to bowl in competition. Page 88 One strike coming upl G. A.

Future Teachers og iAmerica One of the few but most important vocational clubs at jeff is the Future Teachers of America. This club is an organization for all students in- terested in teaching. Membership is open to any high school student having average grades and a good citizenship record. The F.T.A. is a nation- wide organization having been chartered by the National Education Association at VVashington, D. C. Meetings are held in the school library on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. At the meetings, club members participated in panel discussions, and had guest speakers. One of the most important projects was the trip taken to an Indiana teachers college. Picnics and parties were also enjoyed throughout the year. That old saying, Experience is the best teach- erf was illustrated by two junior members of the club.

Commercial Club Under the sponsorship of Mr. James Ade and Mr. Kenneth Andrews, the Commercial Club of jeff had numerous activities this year. The ACA Y ALLA skating rink was the scene of a club skating party on April ll, 1955. A trip to Chicago also in April was the finale of the year. At Thanksgiving time a food basket was given to a needy family. The club also helped with the school-wide Christmas Basket Proj- ect. This organization financed its activities by having bake sales in the winter and candy sales in the gym balcony throughout the year. The Commercial Club is composed of stu- dents taking commercial subjects in school. Pat Button was elected president with Carol Gingrich assisting her as vice-president. Rosa- lie Brown took over the secretaryis duties while Nancy Funk filled the treasureris job. The club's reporter was Carolyn Aker and Gloria Goss served as her assistant. Here is a tip and a little advice: loin the Commercial Club if you type or transcribe. Good times are guaranteed, the best thing to do is join it and see! Junior Red Cross 4'Service', is the byword of the Junior Red Cross. In all their projects-iilling gift boxes, entertaining old folks, or washing windshields -service is their primary objective. Activities of the Junior Red Cross include collecting funds and filling gift boxes to be sent to children overseas. Before canvassing homerooms, J.R.C. members presented a con- vo, demonstrating the services of the Jeff coun- cil in previous years. These past projects were repeated this year, along with some new ones. Valentine favors were made for the hospitals, and a talent show was given at the local homes for old people. To help with the adult Red Cross drive in February, several Jeff students washed the Windshields of cars parked in the downtown area and put cards on them saying, aVVe hope you can see your way clear to give to the Red Crossf, Janet Pearlman was elected a member of the Eastern Area Council of Junior Red Cross members. These eleven c'J.R.C.'ersv from sev- enteen states met twice in Alexandria, Vir- ginia, to advise the Junior Red Cross Directors. At the December meeting Janet was elected alternate delegate to the national J.R.C. con- vention. Junior Red Cross entertained at the Soldiers, Home. 4 1 , nvv, Row 1: S. Holladay, A. Pearlman, S.

The NAUTILUS is a collection of pictures, events, and stories of the Jeiierson high school year, all compounded into one book. Years from now Weill still get a thrill out of looking back and taking a peek into those never-to-be-forgot ten days. To us who were on the NAUTILUS staff this year, the yearbook meant even more. It repre- sented a lot of hard work, but work we wouldn't have given up for anything else in the world. The 1955 NAUTILUS started to take form way back in May of 1954. The final polishes were still being done in March. It took the combined efforts of every staff member and the advisor to publish this yearis book. This yearis staff was smaller than last yearis. Besides his own duty, every staff member helped each other. Mr. James Ade, the NAUTILUS advisor, did a wonderful job as usual, giving advice and aiding the staff in every way. The hardest assignment fell to Margaret Lynch, the editor. It was her job to put the book together. Hugh Robertson, assistant editor, sold the photo ads in the back of the book. Pequetti VVilhauck, photo editor, and her as- sistant, Jim Blosser, organized the senior, under- class, and faculty pictures. The copy was writtcn by Marsha Vance, liter- Page 91, ary editor, and Helen DeLong, assistant literary editor. Helen DeLong and Karen Iones spent many hours writing captions. Jack VVard, business manager, taking care of the subscriptions and payments, handled all the money. Mack Wootton, sports editor, wrote the sport stories and organized the sport section. The big job of typing fell on our secretary, Karen Jones. All of the photo-ads and many of the pictures that appear in the book were taken by Phil Denhardt. The advertising staff under Mr. Elbert Morgan consisted of Don Easterbrook, Don McConnell, Prichard Rawles, and Joe King. One big change in this yearis book was the omission of the seventh and eighth grades be- cause of the building of Sunnyside, the new junior high. Sunnyside published a yearbook of its own. Even though we lost quite a few potential subscribers, we were still able to reach a high goal of 1400. Besides just putting out the NAUTILUS, thc staff members have many activities. The staff attended the Wabasli Valley Press Conference held at Indiana State Teachers College on Octo- her 8, 1954. Some of the staff also attended a two-day conference at Franklin College. A spring picnic was the grand Hnale of the school year. Be careful and do it right. Advertising is really a bargain. Smile pretty for the birdie. Page 95 eff Trains Us To A Attain portsmanship . . . It is a very important role in the school year that sports play here at Jeff. The students at- tending Iefferson High School have set up for themselves one of the finest high school sports programs in the state. Altogether, there are nine sports in which a boy can participate. With such a well-rounded program, many students have the opportunity to take part in some sport. Football and cross-country are the main at- tractions in the fall. Then, with the coming of winter, such sports as basketball, wrestling, and swimming enter into the spotlight. ln the spring, all eyes turn to tennis, track, golf, and baseball. Through the years, the citizens of Lafayette have observed a number of boys begin their sports careers at IeHerson and continue them through college and sometimes even further into the field of professional sports. When one thinks of sports, many times he thinks only of the physical strength involved Page 96 and of the season record of a certain sport. However, we must also consider the numerous other advantages and accomplishments of sports from the standpoint of mental strength and character. While participating in sports, a boy receives a valuable lesson in learning how to get along with others. Co-ordination and men- tal alertness are gained through conditioning in sports. Also, an item which we must not for- get is sportsmanship. This, too, is learned and practiced in our sports program. Along with our regular seasonal sports, we have other activities which could be included when we talk of our sports program. Two of these are the Bowling League and the Girls, Athletic Association. Since the girls do not have all of the different sports set up for them, many of them take part in and belong to this club. Thus, when we hear the word Ksportsv, let's not forget such important factors as mental strength, character, and sportsmanship. 3 , Wifjfz i.

Varsity ootball Heading the exit of fall sports, football proved to be very successful this year, With a record of 5 Wins, 2 losses, and 2 ties. Plowing through a tough schedule, the Broncs Were on the move as they rolled up high scores against most of their opponents. The Ieffmen had a little trouble getting started as they tied Central Catholic of Fort Wayne, 6 to 6, in the first game of the season. With this in mind they trampled Frankfort, 39 to 0, in the next Weekis encounter. Traveling to Kokomo, the grid men chalked up their second victory by de- feating Kokomo, 19 to 13, and, unable to be stopped, they rolled over mighty Indianapolis Cathedral with a score of 13 to 0. lt was at this point that the going got a little rough. After traveling to South Bend to wage a fierce, tying, 6 to 6 battle With St. Joseph Catho- lic, the Bronchos dropped a close 19 to 14 en- counter with New Castle. Gathering their forces for revenge, the foot- ballers returned to style in a high-scoring tussle with Logansport, coming out on the long end of a 58 to 20 score. Still driving, they continued their job in bruising style by rolling over Crispus At- tucks of Indianapolis, 39 to 0. The last tussle of the season was with a spirited bunch of boys from Muncie. The ironmen from jefferson found the job a little too difficult, as the Muncie spirit Won out with a 39 to 19 victory. When the job was done, the boys had some- thing to be proud of. The team finished fourth in the North Central Conference. Ted Barrett, half- back, tied for first place in the conference scoring race. Paul Cooper and Mike LeVitt were co-captains of this year's team. The outstanding player, Who was elected by his teammates, was Carl Heninger. Thus, next year, the future footballers have a challenge to capture the North Central Confer- ence title. Pugfvf D I Those momvnts on thc lncnclm nrv pretty anxious one-s.

Part of the load of the varsity team will, next year, be tackled by the boys who saw the most action on the B-team. The coaches preparing them for this job were Mr. john Lazar and Mr. Morris Etter. Iellersonis reserves finished the season with a record of 2 wins and 5 losses. The Colts opened their season this year with Logansport, dropping the encounter 6 to 19. Then, after losing a tough one to Kokomo, 6 to 7, the boys found the power of Indianapolis Cathedral too much as they fell before the strong Indianapolis club with a score of 0 to 25. It was at this time that things began to look brighter. The Ieilerson youngsters overpow- ered Anderson 7 to 6, in their iirst win of the season. Then, after falling to Hammond Noll, 0 to 12, the Jeff boys trampled Noblesville 13 to 0. The last game of the season was with the same Logansport club, this time the Colts lost It looks like the old razzle-dazzle. 6 to 25- Page 102 ' Freshman Coached by Mr. james Lyboult and Mr. Charles Hopkins, the freshman team bright- ened jeffis football future by compiling a sea- son record of 8 wins and 2 losses. The year proved to be very successful as the boys were confronted with a tough schedule. The preps opened the season strongly by plowing under Southport 21 to 0. Frankfort was the next victim, falling by 27 to 14. Then, after beating Logansport 13 to 6, the young- sters fell to a strong Kokomo club 21 to 27. Gathering their forces for revenge, the Jeff boys whipped the Rensselaer B-team by a score of 33 to 7. The next two opponents both fell as we beat Anderson 12 to 7 and trampled Delphi 21 to 7. Against the Delphi B-team the preps dropped a close one, 7 to 14. With three games remain- ing, the boys mowed them down in rapid suc- cession by defeating Hammond Noll 35 to 20, Frankfort 20 to 0, and Logansport 27 to 0 this time. Thus, by wading through this tough sched- ule in such an impressive way, these boys gave the Jefferson football fans something to look forward to. Grab that ball! Row 1: I. Beeker, I. Elmore, B.

Starting the season with Kokomo, Coach Orval Martin's harriers came up With a 50 to 18 victory. Then, after scoring a 30 to 25 Win over Frankfort, the Broncs dropped a tough one to Logansport, 25 to 32. With revenge in their legs, the speedsters trampled Marion 40 to 16. After losing the second one to Attica, 20 to 36, the Jeffmen left the same Frankfort team in the dust, this time 38 to 18. Wayne Duff proved to be the big man of the year by leading his teammates to a ninth place in the North Central Conference and a sec- ond place in the Sectional. The boys finished twentieth in the state meet. Members of the cross-country team were Wayne Duff, Jerry Rusk, Carl Franz, Dick Ade, Bob Criswell, Jim Holsclaw, Iohn Monroe, and Bob Kemble. Dave Decker was manager. The team selected Wayne Duff as the most valuable runner. Thus, jeifis colors were well represented as the cross-country team kept its legs moving through the season of a sport that is growing fast in recog- nition in Indiana High Schools.

So far, the sport is in the experi- mental stage. However, each year brings a brighter spark of hope to the swimming future of our school. The team, coached by Mr. Jack Whalen, had two meets this year besides the state meet. The first was a three-way meet With Muncie Cen- tral and Muncie Burris. The boys came out on the short end of a 45 to 23 to 19 score. Next, the tankmen journeyed to Columbus, Indiana, only to drop a 52 to 22 encounter. The swimming team was composed of Maurie Woodworth, Denny Fisher, Phil Bur- gess, Ron Morgan, Bob Criswell, Buffy Mayer- stein, Bob Schlientz, Paul Yoakum, Chuck Cas- tor, and Harry Iohnston. The season was polished off with the state meet which was held at the Purdue Field- house. jefferson tied with South Bend Riley for sixth place. Both teams had a score of fourteen points. Maurie Woodwortli proved to be the outstanding Ieff performer and one of the best in the state. He was the only double winner in the state meet. This was accomplished by fin- ishing first in the 50 yard freestyle and also by taking first in the 100 yard freestyle. Itis a long way, isn't it, Maurie? Page 105 Varsity Basketball After advancing to the Semi-Finals of the lndi- ana State High School Basketball Tourney, the gallant Jefferson Bronchos were unable to break the magic spell that the Semi-Finals seemed to hold over them. However, Coach Marion Craw- ley's crew had nothing to be ashamed of as they flourished a season record of 12 wins and 6 losses. Their final position in the North Central Con- ference was fourth place with a conference record of 5 wins and 4 losses. The season began at Lebanon with the Bron- chos coming home flashing a 67 to 50 victory. Then, after two wins over Rossville and Attica, 78 to 64 and 55 to 40, the roundballers received a 51 to 58 setback by Kokomo. Cary Roosevelt proved to be the next victim by falling 45 to 39 in a low-scoring, hard-fought battle. A tussle with Anderson found the Jeffmen with a 45 to 36 win, returning to see them overpower Frankfort a week later by a 54 to 36 score. Traveling to South Bend Central, the boys came out on the long end of a 76 to 54 score be- fore preparing for the tough holiday tourney, which was next on the agenda. Jasper was the winner over New Albany, Hammond, and host jefferson. Starting the second half of the season, the bas- ketballers bowed to a strong Muncie Central club 49 to 50. In the animal rivalry with XV est Lafay- ette, they were 61 to 54 victors. After losing to Indianapolis Technical, 45 to 46, jeff mowed down Marion, Logansport, and Elkhart by 71 to 57, 75 to 73, and 72 to 57 scores. New Castle and Crawfordsville were able to beat the Broncs 48 to 50 and 41 to 46. Taking a plane to Richmond, the team grabbed a close, 51 to 49 decision. The last game of regular season play was dropped to Hammond 46 to 52. Going into tournament play, the Jefferson Bronchos again reigned as Sectional and Regional champs. However, they were stopped in the Semi- Finals by a powerful Cary Roosevelt team, which had fallen to the Bronchos earlier in the season. Co-captains of the team were Ed Becker and Mike Costello.

Finding the going a little rougher, they were able to eke out a close 42 to 38 decision against Anderson. Zionsville and Attica were the next victims by losing 60 to 29 and 54 to 32, respectively. Then, after walloping Southport 54 to 35 and Greencastle 66 to 31, the Fresh steamed over Lebanon 60 to 32. Still going strong, the boys defeated Flora twice, 51 to 36 and 43 to 27.

Last year the Bronchos fell to Crawfordsville 2112 to 12V2. After beating Frankfort twice, 10 to 5 and 11 to 4, they routed Logansport 10 to 5 and Frankfort 12 to 3. New Castle fell 9 to 6, and Indianapolis Shortridge Was downed 13 to 2, After mowing down' Richmond 9 to 6, Marion 11 to 4, and Kokomo 12 to 3, the golfers met a 5 to 10 loss to Anderson. They overpowered Mun- cie QV2 to 51fz. The Ieffmen finished second in the Conference Meet. Defeats were suffered at the hands of Anderson 41!2 to 101!2, and Crawfords- ville 5V2 to 91fz. The season was closed by a victory over Peru 11Vz to 3115, and two wins over West La- fayette, 12 to 3 and 10 to 5. This year,s task started by meets with Craw- fordsville, Frankfort, and a dual meet with WVest Lafayette and Kentland. After traveling to Peru, the Bronchos returned home for engagements with Rochester and Lebanon. Next was the La- Porte Invitational. A dual meet was held with Crawfordsville and West Lafayette before jour- neying to Logansport. The year ended with the Sectional, the Conference Meet at Logansport, and the State Meet. Row 1: C.

Prlyv 1.12 .Ja .mir x' . ., Tennis With four returning lettermen and several other prospects, Coach Gerald Clark's crew had the best tennis outlook yet. The aim of this yearis team was to better last year's record of 4 wins and 8 losses. Last season was opened by a 7 to 0 win over West Lafayette. This was followed by a I to 8 Broncho defeat by Crawfordsville. After rolling over Peru, the IeH- men lost to Marion and Indianapolis Technical. Traveling to Logansport, the racket men dropped a close 3 to 4 match before returning home to hand Muncie Central a 4 to 3 loss. Falling to Anderson, Richmond, Danville, Illinois, and Frankfort, the Broncs finished the season with a 6 to 1 victory over Kokomo. Returning lettermen this year were Dave Lux, Dave Jones, Dave Hawkins, and Jerry Rusk. Civ- ing valuable support to these boys were Stan Scott, Mike LeVitt, Dave Culross, Dick Schuessler, Jerry Bush, Lynn Plaster, Bob Schlientz, Ed Becht, Don DuBois, Balfe Wagner, Fred Reiss, John Dieterle, Jim Smith, Jay Patter- son, and Bob Helm. The tennis manager was Albert Pearlman. This yearis schedule consisted of home matches with West Lafayette, Crawfordsville, Peru, Lo- gansport, Anderson, Richmond, and Crispus At- tucks. The team traveled to Marion, Indianapolis Technical, Muncie Central, Frankfort, Danville, Illinois, and Kokomo. A hot serve is in the making. Don't miss that ball, Dave! Row 1: Mgr. A. Pearlman, I.

They were Wayne Duff, half- mile and mile, Ierry Fisher, sprintsg Bob johnson, 100 yard dash and 220 yard run, Gene Reeder, half-mile and mile, Steve Martin, pole vault, high jump, and broadjump, Howard Wyant, 440 and 220 yard run, and Fred Swick, shot put. Strong contenders from last yearis freshman team were lim Holsclaw, Don McDill, Ed Smith, and Don Ubelhor. Last year's trackteam was very successful by winning the Sectionals, the Central Indiana Meet, and the Attica Relays. The team finished sixth in the North Central Conference Meet. After a good showing at Bloomington in the Hoosier Relays, the Bronchos fell to Indianapolis Shortridge in their first dual meet of the season. One week later, the trackmen took revenge by walloping Frankfort 691!z to 2916. After running over Hammond Clark by 70 points, they cap- tured the Attica Relays 69 to 50. Running to a victory in the Delphi Relays, the Jedmen could not be stopped as they rolled over Page 115 Track Logansport 84 to 24. The team participated in the North Central Conference Meet and the Central Indiana Meet before grabbing a dual meet with Frankfort. Once again they traveled to Frankfort, this time to compete in the Sectionals. Then, after placing second in the Logansport Relays, the runners finished the season by taking part in the Regional and State Meets. Last year,s mile relay team finished Hrst in the Regionals and brought home a fourth in the State Meet. This year, as last, the season was opened with the Hoosier Relays at Bloomington. The team then traveled to Indianapolis Shortridge for a dual engagement. The Attica Relays were next on the list, followed by a dual affair at Frankfort. After traveling to Bloomington to participate in the Bloomington High School Relays, the Broncs journeyed to Delphi to enter the Delphi Relays. The first home showing of the season was against Logansport. The remainder of the ycar was devoted to the Central Indiana, Sectional, Regional, and State Meets, and the Logansport Relays. And the race is on . . . . M It,s il long way up thero. That shot is heavier than it looks. Page 115 Row 1: I. Bramble, D. Jackson, I. Holladay, L. Cooper, E. Becker, B. McGraw, I. Hclmkamp, E.

Baseball Finishing with a record of 17 wins and 4 losses, the Ieff baseballers proved to be very successful last year. Despite occasional spring rains, Coach Sam Lyboult's crew waded through a tough schedule to record this fine job. Leading off with a 2 to 3 loss to Lebanon, the Bronchos quickly returned to flash an impressive 11 to 1 victory over Muncie. Two days later, they were still rolling as they mauled Crawfordsville 18 to 3. Indianapolis Technical handed the Ieff- men their second defeat of the season with a 2 to 4 score. A double-header with Danville, Illinois, saw Jeff on the long end of 2 to 1 and 5 to 3 scores. After falling to Hammond Noll 3 to 4, the team overpowered Hammond High 9 to 8. Two more impressive victories were chalked up against Anderson 4 to 0 and New Castle 10 to 0. The Bronchos saw their way through to beat Indianap- olis Ben Davis 3 to 1, before revenging the same Lebanon club 5 to 2. Picking up a 3 to 1 win over Marion, the team trounced Kokomo 15 to 3. After beating Frankfort 7 to 6 and rolling over Zionsville 6 to 0, Ieff dropped a close 2 to 3 encounter with Richmond. Logansport found the Jeff club strong as they fell 6 to 4. Crawfordsville was again the loser in a 10 to 0 engagement. The last two dates were Page H6 filled by edging out Terre Haute Gerstmeyer 3 to 2 and romping Hammond Noll 9 to O. Prospects were strong this year for the baseball team with several returning lettermen. Although they suffered the loss of such veterans as Larry Shuman, Bill Burgess, Roni Cohen, Charles Church, and jack King, the squad found on the returning list Ralph Maple, Ed Becker, Carl Heninger, Duff McKenzie, and Bob McGraw. Also coming back for another year were Mike Costello, Iim Holladay, jerry Neal, Dick Neel, Bob Barcus, and Ed Farley. These boys were aided by Jim Chatham, Bob Martin, Jack Helmkamp, Dick Crosser, Ronnie Brunger, Norm Cockrell, Iohn Bramble, and Cary Iohnson. This year's schedule consisted of games with Crispus Attucks, Crawfordsville, Veedersburg, Muncie, Indianapolis Technical, and Danville, Illinois. The Bronchos then returned home to meet Frankfort and Marion. Hammond High and Ham- mond Noll were next on the list, followed by Anderson, New Castle, Logansport, and Kokomo. Games were played consecutively with Zionsvillc and Richmond. The season was ended with en- counters against Indianapolis Ben Davis, Craw- fordsville, Hammond High, Hammond Noll, and Terre Haute Cerstmeyer. Keep that toe on the base! Guard that plate, Duff. Get that double play, Ed! Page 117 Those bags have to be packed. Pep Band Big surprises come in small packages, but in this case powerful music comes from Ieff's smallest band, the Pep Band. The Pep Band played for pep sessions, pa- rades, and some of the home football games. The band was just what its name implies-full of pep. At some of the out-of-town football games the aguysv were the yell leaders' Whole cheering section. Boy, what noise! Bonnie Morgan, senior, was drum major and Dave Hawkins was the senior in charge of the Pep Band. Other senior members were Don Williams, Dave Culross, Jerry Brenner, Arnold Yarno, and Charles Thompson. Tom South, Larry Foust, Larry Brand, Ronnie Cleaver, john McCord, Mike Sherry, and Larry Cress made up the junior members. Sophomores Were Bob Mater and Roger Hoffman. Freshmen were Danny Bible and Eddie Davis. Looking very sharp in their red jackets with black emblems, the Pep Band executed many formations at the home football field and out- of-town. At pep sessions the band also formed a af' on the gym floor. Page 118 Managers Contributing their time and tireless assist- ance, the managers are a very important cog in the sports machine here at jeff. Managing varsity football were Bill Davis and Dave Beaver. Dennis Overley handled the B-Team, while David Ebner and jerry Beeker took care of the freshmen. In the basketball department We found: Gary johnson and Bill Davis, varsity, Don jackson, B-Team, and David Ebner, freshman. Dave Decker Worked with the cross-country team and Al Pearlman shouldered the tennis duties. Dennis Overley managed the Wrestling squad. Teaming togetheg on the tgck job were Dave Decker and Dennis Overley, While Bill Davis was slated for the baseball assignment. Giving first aid, keeping a record of the players' and team statistics, and taking care of all team equipment are among the many tasks performed by the managers. We salute the workers behind the linesv in the jefferson Athletic Department. I guess they're called musicians. Cheerleaders I-I-I-E-F-, was a familiar yell led by the Varsity cheerleaders, not only at the home foot- ball and basketball games, but also at the out- of-town games. The weather might have been cold and the roads slick but that did not keep them and Mrs. Thomas C. Graham from going and leading the Bronchos to victory. The varsity cheerleaders this year were Marsha Vance, captain, Sue Bussell, Monna Cuppy, and Marjie Donahue. They attended the North Central Cheerleaders Conference at Logansport High School. Besides leading yells and boosting school spirit the cheerleaders' duties were to plan pep sessions and assist the Block Section. They were hostesses at a luncheon given for visiting cheerleaders of the Holiday Tourney teams. Ricki Cillaspy, captain, Carolyn Blind, Beth Lohman, and Donna Massey were this year,s B-Team cheerleaders who cheered the future varsity team of Jeff to victory. The B-Team cheerleaders along with the Varsity, sponsored mixers. Both the Varsity and B-Team cheer- leaders attended the Indiana State Cheerlead- ers Conference at Indiana University this fall. Kneeling: I. McCord and S. Howard. Standing: B. Pitman and D. Cook. They're tireless workers at the games. Ma jorettes Proudly strutting their stuff and twirling their batons at every home football and bas- ketball game were Iellis four majorettes. Barbara Pitman was captain of the twirlers, Shirley Howard, Darlene Cook, and Judy McCord completed the quartet. These girls are members of the band, and each plays an instrument. After the basketball season, they perform with the band in concerts and contests. Majorettes compete in twirling contests, too. At the State Solo and Ensemble Contest in Indianapolis, Barbara Pitman, Shirley Howard, and Indy McCord won lirst division on solo twirling and a trio, and Darlene Cookis solo placed in second division. The trio then went to All-State Solo and Ensemble Contest at Butler University, where they also twirled off with a first division. With solos, Barbara Pitman and Shirley Howard placed second in the All- State Contest. These prize-winning majorettes give baton- twirling lessons, and at some games their pupils entertained the spectators. Our majorettes also marched in local parades and with other twirlers on Purdue Band Day. Page 119 e Trains Us To Be Leaders 0 Tomorrow . . . What does Jefferson High School mean to you? Perhaps you think of the principals and the teachers, or the basketball team. But really, it is the students that make up jeff. These stu- dents Will be the leaders of tomorrowis World, so they must be trained to accept their future responsibilities. It is jeffis purpose to educate these students and, as a by-product, to make these the best years of their lives, by offering extra-curricular activities and making many friends. Education at Jeff is complete and thorough because of the variety of courses offered. A student planning to enter college can get a good academic course, and another one with a different ambition can at least partly ready himself for the job he chooses through Ieffis numerous vocational courses. Another kind of education is supplied by extra-curricular activities. In the merry-go- round of sports, dances, club meetings, and parties, Ieffs students learn sportsmanship, cooperation, and companionship, the ups and Page 120 downs of their high school lives prepare them for the years to come. Although there are times when any Jeff stu- dent Would deny it, these high school days are wonderful. After a good football game or when the curtain closes on a successful Red and Black Revuef that exhilarating feeling expe- rienced by the participants more than compen- sates for all the Work and Worry. All these activities help others, too, at the same time they are helping the students. All the talent shows and the Senior Play entertain the students and the public. Sunshine and Tri-Hi-Y girls, Christmas caroling, the Iunior Red Cross entertaining at the old people's homes, the Whole school turning out to send Christmas food baskets Where they are needed - all indicate the generous spirit of Ieffas students. Dances, picnics, and parties, the things We do just for funf, are an indispensable part of a studentis life. At commencement each year, many of Ielf,s students leave feeling ready and able to fill their niche in life as leaders of tomorrow. sl -1 F.

Senior Class When the class of ,55 were freshmen, they began planning and Working for their Senior Prom. This year they did most of the Work toward financing the prom and the big-name band, Buddy Morrow. Each year some specific money-raising proj- ects are reserved for the seniors. Among these are soliciting magazine subscriptions, selling name-cards, and selling popcorn. The popcorn was the chief fund-raiser, being sold at jeff Penney Day and throughout the first semester. On February 22, 1955, they presented the annual Senior Bevue, a variety show featuring talent of the seniors. This had a double pur- pose: to entertain students, faculty, and the public, and to add to that growing fund for the Prom. But the senior year Wasnit all Work, by any means. Senior Tramp Day, when shirt-tails were out and outlandish styles were in, will probably start a tradition for Jefferson seniors. Money Madv, the 1955 Senior Play, was fun for the participants as Well as the audi- ence. Officers leading the class were Paul Cooper, president, Bill Davis, vice-president, and Gary Johnson, secretary-treasurer. I wonder Where I'll be at this time next year. Page 122 Seniors really dolled up for Senior Tramp Day.

ZINK, TONY Everyone wanted one of thc juniors, derlmics for XVl1at are you going to sing in the junior Revue? the tourneys. Junior Class 'iWe are the juniors, juniors are we .... ii The juniors were proud of their class and were looking forward to next year. With an eye on their senior year, they planned and successfully completed many money-making projects. The first of these was a paper drive with the seniors. The treasury also profited from a commission of the sale of class rings. The junior Talent Show was one of the largest undertakings, with jim Blosser as its general chairman. Mr. L. VV. Smith and Mr. George Kenzler were faculty advisors for the show, which was held in the gym May 6, 1955. At tourney time, the juniors added substan- tially to their funds by holding a mixer during the sectionals and selling red and black derbies at all the games. Many cars at the tourneys sported Broncho stickers-selling these was another junior project. The officers of the junior class, Don Good, president, Dick Crosser, vice-president, and Judie Huth, secretary-treasurer, led the class through a very rewarding year. junior officers displaying some class projects are Indie Huth, secretary-treasurer, Dick Crosser, vicc- prcsidentg Don Good, president.

With Tom Schmidt, presidentg Bicki Gil- laspy, vice-presidentg and Bob Schaaf, secre- tary-treasurer, the class of 1957 had a smooth ride this year and succeeded in adding quite a sum to its treasury by its many projects. A mixer after one of the football games contributed to the pot,' and also the paper drive in january netted forty-six dollars. The Christmas cards project was the most proHt- able of the year. Homeroom chairmen were responsible for distributing the Christmas cards among the sophomores. They also han- dled the money, which totaled to two hundred and twenty-five dollars. Nice going, sopho- mores! It does not take very long for students to get acquainted with Jeff and really go places. Before long the 1957 class will iind themselves in the seniors, shoes. VVould you like to buy a box of Christmas cards? l'vryc 150 Tlxanks for all the papers. rw A use W, 7 fl Q fn - Sophomores, 57 . o , Q A , f J 't . Q 3 ' U -B pk 'Q ', .,Ul?. I ' ,V '.4 . . A 5' H.

Freshman Class Crazy-mixed-upv is a good adjective to describe that freshman year. It is very true that freshmen find themselves a little mixed- up because of new surroundings. Freshmen sometimes get lost and finally go to the wrong classes. My! We bet those freshmen thought we older classmen seemed old. We certainly did then. They probably wondered whether they would ever reach their senior year. We will answer that. Yes, you reach it too soon! We cannot think of any better time to start a class off on the right foot than in the freshman year. This year's freshman class did just that under the leadership of Dave Price, president, Marcia Hanf, vice-presi- dent, Marjorie Boothe, secretary, and Buffy Mayerstein, treasurer. The freshman class sponsored two mixers, held in january and February. This new, treasury had approximately thirty-one dol- lars in it. Good start, class of 1958! Planning their activities, the officers are Buffy Mayerstein, treasurer, Marcia Hanf, vice-president, Dave Price, president, and Marjorie Boothe, secretary. Before a game, the kids are upepped-upj' by the cheerleaders-S. Risk, I. Craig, M. Wilson, and S. Benner. Mixers are always fun, especially after an exciting game. l'r1g4' I l Page 158 Freshmen, '58 I. Aclreson, J. Aclmramowicz, N Alrler, WV. Alrler, J. Alberts, D. Al- brecht, S. Alther. Y J.

The fact is that if it were not for the cooperation ofihe merchants and townspeople of Lafayette, we would be unable to publish a yearbook at such a low cost to the students. VVe are very grateful to them. More important to everyone of Lafayette is our livelihood which would practically be im- possible if it weren't for our merchants. La- fayette is certainly fortunate to have such a variety of stores and business enterprises. ln turn, the merchants are fortunate to be situated in such a wealthy community which can afford this great variety. Since we have such a pros- perous downtown district, many people from surrounding communities come to Lafayette to do their shopping. Advertising is very important because it is a tool of business employed in varying degrees by every business enterprise. Efforts to im- prove business are noneffective without some form of sales promotion through the medium of advertising. Advertising moves merchandise l'rryfJ IUU and creates the demand for services. Manufac- turers, wholesalers, jobbers, retailers, and serv- ice businesses have all found that Advertising pays. It is the quickest, least expensive, and most effective tool yet developed as an aid to selling. As such, advertising has been accepted by business in general and has played an indis- pensable part in developing in the United States a standard of living second to that of no other country. Our place in the suni' has been achieved largely by the development through advertising of markets for the tremendous pro- ductive capacity of our industry. The picture at the right shows a jeff girl and boy during the Christmas season carrying their many gifts purchased at the downtown stores. Throughout the remaining pages you will see more jeff students in the photo ads visiting stores and business firms. You will see adver- tisements of merchants you already patronize and also of ones you donit know. WVe hope you will find many more prospective merchants who can help you. www Lafayette Savings Bank 300 Main Street Organized June 26, 1869 Member Federal Reserve System and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
