Bottom Riglit: What a way to be initiated into G.A.A KHS ' TV: Our Program Opens With a Brief Look At Our School Life. Throughout our school will be found a blend- ing of the new with the old, the academic with the non-academic. Kendallville High School, ever alert to the needs of the students, helps lay the ground- work, both educationally and socially, so that each may take his place in the world. To do this, there must be an ever-changing curriculum to meet the requirements of the times. New sub- jects are added, and improvements are made on the ti-aditional. Many non-academic organiza- tions, all ' ith a definite purpose, are offered to complete this program. ' e have the opportunity to develop our talents in the fine arts, in athletics. in dramatics, and in service to others. We are proud and happy to ' elcome new students into our midst that they may share in these ex- periences. Ever learning, ever growing, ever improving has become our challenge. We are proud of our school which offers so much to its student body. - ...i-i-. I-.. - ,.. . il J .l l. l Jl.l  l.. I.,IJ -l IJ Il L-.JJ I U-U I JIJ,)-UlH -Jl-J i l Our Time Is Spent In Many Ways.

V Alty We Learn From Those Who Know SCHOOL BOARD Working jointly with Superintendent Burt as well as with other school officials and the communi- ty to make our school the best are the members of the Board of Education: Mrs. Ruth Mary Friend, Robert Jack, and Elmer Seagly. LORIN A. BURT Our superintendent, Dr. Lorin Burt, is ex- periencing his second year with the Kendall- ville Public Schools. During this short time, he has directed the task of our remodeling and building program. This job is still not finished, as plans are being made for addi- tional remodeling. Dr. Burt has been an active figure on the Noble County school reorganization commit- tee, which hopes through analysis of existing conditions, to recommend a reorganization of Noble County schools into more efficient and effective units. THE ADMINISTRATION: Always Working To Improve Our School Kendallville students owe much to our ad- ministration, for it is through their efforts that our school is accredited by Indiana as a first class commissioned high school. The administration has capably completed the project of remodeling the Sheridan Street gymnasium into three departmental areas and a boys ' gym-lunchroom combination, thus making the long-awaited cafeteria a reality. The industrial arts department includes a drawing room and metal and woodworking shops while the agriculture department has a farm shop adjoining its classroom. The band benefitted from the remodeling by gaining a larger room plus individual practice rooms. 10 ROYAL W. TRITCH The administrative director of all high school activities is Mr. Tritch, the senior high principal. In addition to seeing that the poli- cies of the school are carried out, Mr. Tritch works closely with each student in scheduling classwork so that each one ' ill have the re- quired credits for graduation and the aca- demic majors and minors. Mr. Tritch is also responsible for individual transfers and transcripts which may be needed manv years after a student ' s gradviation. FRANK J. SCHWAB The junior high principal, Mr. Schwab, as- sists underclassmen in making the adjustments to our high school system. His work starts with the seventh and eighth grades. For the freshmen, who come from five separate school systems, he suggests their curriculum and helps them work out personal problems. SECRETARIES Mrs. Gwendlyn Wall and Mrs. Elizabeth Thrapp are secretaries to Dr. Burt. They main- tain official data, act as school treasurer, and perform clerical duties for the entire school system. The secretarv to Mr. Tritch is Mrs. Adele Ruderman whose duties are ' aried and numer- ous. She does e ' erything from issuing admits to listening to complaints, from keeping records to composing announcements. FACULTY; Miss Sandra Little Ball State Teachers College, B.S.

Can you remember The Plight of Madeline De May? If you are a senior, you do. It was the play presented in our Freshman-Parent Night program. This was not, however, the only big event of our freshman year. There was also a skating party at Silvermoon. Our next big day was just a little over a year later when our class sweaters arrived. They were black with a white Old English K . Things begm to really pick up in our junicr year, which started off with a record-smashing magazine sale. For the first time in the history of Kendallville High School, a junior class sold more than $4,000 worth of magazine subscrip- tions. Next on the agenda was the class party, Country Carnival, which was held at the North Side gym. Soon after this, the class rings, which, to us, were the best-looking rings in the world, arrived. At the end of the basketball sea- son, we held the annual dance in honor of the basketball team. And then came May and with it the most important event of a junior ' s career, the Junior-Senior Prom. But, finally, the big year arrived, our senior vear. With the beginning of school last fall, we found many things that needed our attention. There were name cards and announcements to be ordered, pictures to be taken, a yearbook to be published, and other things that needed our attention as seniors. Spring found us being en- tertained by the juniors at the Prom, attending baccalaureate, and most important, being can- didates for graduation. As we leave this school, we should remember, even more than ever before, the motto of our class: Not at the top, but climbing.

Those chosen to represent them on Student Forum were Nancy Mains, Dick Nartker, and William Grant. With the help of their sponsor, Mrs. Kimmell, the juniors initiated their first big project, the magazine sales. They were successful in break- ing last year ' s record with an all time high of $4,125. Junior History It was a special day when their long-awaited class rings finally arrived. Each student displayed his with much pride. Following the final basketball game of die season they honored the varsity team at a record hop in the gymnasium. Climaxing the year for the junior class was the Junior-Senior Prom. It was as much fun as each had anticipated, but their thoughts are now turning to the responsibilities and activities of the senior vear.

Freshmen on Parade, a clever parody on Sweet- hearts on Parade, was sung by a freshman chorus as the class entered the auditorium, and this keynoted the en- tire program. With Dan Diggins and Brenda Wilondek as narrators, the freshnien paraded the curricular and extra-curricular activities in which they participate. A bit of old Rome came to life as Latin students in Roman dress discussed life in ancient times. Ag boys told of FFA, and biology students displayed leaf collections to further represent the classes in which freshnien enroll. Dramatics and in- strumental music, two e.xtra-curricular activities, were demonstrated by a comic skit and by several selections from a freshman band. An open house for freshmen to acquaint their parents with the teachers and the school was held before the program. Refreshments were later served by Miss Varda- man ' s advanced home economics class in the little gym. Although Freshman-Parent Night was the biggest un- dertaking of tlie freshnien class, they also had a class party March 18. The cafeteria was decorated for a barn dance, and round and square dances formed the en- tertainment. The class of 1963, numbering nearly 150, held their organization meeting early in September. Dale Blech was chosen as president; Melody Clirysler, secretary; Judy Schneider, vice-president; and Sue Fisher, treasurer. Elected to the Student Forum were Nancy Butterbaugh, Pat Lundy, and Charlie Bodenhafer. Two of the class also gained another honor; Judy Schneider and Nancy Butterbaugh were chosen as the cheerleaders for the Meteors. KENDALLVILLE LUMBER AND COAL COMPANY 48 • .

Football and bas- ketball lead in popularity, followed by the spring sports: track, baseball, and golf. The purposes of the athletic department are to create sportsmanship and competitive spirit, to produce winning teams, and to make physically fit boys. The department sets up athletic sched- ules and fulfills our obligations to our own conference. Because of this inter-school activity, the athletic department is largely responsible for our good relationships to other schools in the area. Composed of responsible and fine men, the coaching staft is dedicated to boys, sports, and sportsmanship. 58 K ' KLUB; Those Who Have Earned Their K. The K-Klub worked during many of the ath- letic events of the school. During football games, thev were selling hot coffee and hotdogs. Dur- ing basketball games, they checked coats and sold gum and candy between halves. A Dad ' s Night to honor the fathers of all the players was held at a basketball game this year for the first time. Coffee and doughnuts were served to the fathers at half time and also be- tween games. Directed by Mr. Abbs, the K-Klub carried out these activities and also held two banquets honoring outstanding athletes.

FOOTBALL; Fighting Hard To Qain Victory. In a season marked with hard-fought battles, the Comets won three and lost six. Losing eleven men from last year ' s team proved a test to Coach Ferrario, but with the assistance of Coach Mcintosh and Coach Czupryn the team came through with what we believe to be a good season. Although the Comets did not impress many people with their team strength, individually the players were given recognition by being placed on honorary teams. Marvin Hart was listed honorable mention on the all-state team. On the all-conference teims Marvin Hart and Cecil Hazelton made first team; Dave McFarlin, sec- ond team; and John Gehring, Barry Graden, John King, honorable mention.

BASKETBALL; Our Share Of Hoosier Hysteria The varsity basketball team posted an over- all record of 11 wins and 13 losses including tourney play. Although hopes were high for a good season, this year was a series of ups and downs for the Comets. The team was up well for the Sectional, however, defeating three foes before losing in the finals to Albion. In N.E.I.C. play, the Comets ' record was a mediocre three wins and six losses which put them in sixth place in the conference standings. K ' ville hosted the annual Holiday Tourney during Christmas vacation. The tourney was won by Concordia in two thrillingly close games, one by defeating the Comets by one point, 70 to 69. ' The Comets will lose seven seniors by grad- uation. Returning next year will be two reg- ulars and three other lettermen, so a year of re- building can be expected.

After his speech, every junior and senior attended two meetings in which a coun- selor told them the advantages and disadvan- tages of his profession. Following the talk by the counselor, each student asked questions which pertained to his own situation. This pro- gram is designed to give K.H.S. students a chance to learn more of the occupation which they wish to pursue for the remainder of their lives. Top: Display case advertising career day.

The Spotlight underwent two major changes this year: one in staff organization and one in the ap- pearance of the paper itself. The school paper, which has been a by-product of a class in journalism since 1934, this year was done as an extra-curricular activit) ' under the di- rection of Miss Clouse. Officers were elected in the fall to serve for the school year. The new look for The Spotlight is the printed look, not mimeographed. Not since the days of The Oracle, which was published forty years ago, has K.H.S. had a printed school paper. Above Left: Dick Finley operates tlie mimeograph machine.

We, the ' earbook staff, are presenting the Kaij Aitch Ess of 1960 hoping that, as you turn its pages, each of you may remember the liappy events of the past year at K.H.S. The work began in September when many meetings were held to decide on the theme and general appearance of the book. Editors began laving out page dummies, and business managers started treading the halls and sidewalks selhng ads. Flashbulbs began popping throughout the school as the photographers tried to get excit- ing pictures of all the different club and curri- cular activities. Time flew very rapidly, and be- fore copywriters knew it, they had to burn the midnight oil to get their copy written. The yearbook staff hopes this edition of the Kay Aitch Ess proves satisfactory to all who read it. .■ U ISCJH.S: Mr. . himlv, Mis.s Gilliland, Mr. Metz.

THESPIANS; Honoring Those Working diligently to promote their aims, the local Thespian Troupe 1108 try to uphold their motto: Act well your part, there all the honor lies. Membership in Thespians is earned by participa- tion in supervised dramatic presentations. A per- son must earn ten points under the National Thespian Society Point System. At the initiation, he must demonstrate some ability he has acquired or strengthened by his participation in dramatics. Troupe 1106 has about twenty members. The Thespian Board, which helps to plan and supervise the activities of the dramatics clubs, is composed of the officers, who preside at all meet- ings, and the sponsors. During the first semester Mrs. Mundy was the Thespian sponsor, and Miss Steckley, Mrs. Mory, and Mrs. Buckner sponsored Wig Paint. The second semester brought a change due to a resignation from the teaching staff. Mrs. Buckner became Thespian sponsor with Miss Steck- ley and Mrs. Mory aiding Wig Paint.

SEAMAID MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. 93 AUDITORIUMS: Programs offering instruction as well as enter- tainment on every subject from Shakespeare to science have been presented in auditorium this year. The first program gave the student body the opportunity to meet new students and teachers. Then began the special guest artists: Jack Rank, Shakespearean monodramatist; Rubinoff and his violin; and Peter Tanis, lecturer on discipline in the home. The Freshmen on Parade, Sing the Songs of Thanksgiving, one-act plays, choral speaking, instrumental music, and the Christmas program were presented by the students. Those who take part in either the musical or the variety programs gain practical and useful knowledge by appearing before an audience. Professionals coming to K.H.S. give the student body the opportunity to enjoy presentations they would not otherwise see. In addition to those mentioned above, there were the Koehlers, a trampoline team who exhibited difficult aerial maneuvers; Lou Gaeta, who gave an unusual pro- gram on falconry, the sport of kings; and K. S. Mac- Kenzie, who offered a science program about liquid air. Mrs. Mundy had the responsibility of planning these weekly presentations during the first semester; Mrs. Buckner, the second semester.

The band area now contains three practice rooms in addition to the band room, an office, and a storage room. There are fifty-four members, including majorettes, : ' n the band, and Mr. Copeland is working hard to help them reach the goal of being one of the best bands in Indiana. Only a very small percentage of the present band members will not be playing in the band next year; therefore, the sounds and color of the band will remain much the same.

JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAQUE: Making Latin Fun, Roman traditions, classical mythology, and historical people live again as J.C.L. carries out its program under the direction of Miss Eminger, sponsor. A Visit to the Underworld was the theme of the October meeting, and in November the members held a Harvest Festival, their harvest offerings then being given to needy families. A Valentine for Parents was a cleverly ar- ranged program in the format of Masquerade Party with the masqueraders costumed as myth- ical or real figures of Roman times. This Febru- ary program, to which the parents were invited, was repeated in auditorium. Dressed in Roman costume, members attended a banquet in May. The program featured a Ro- man wedding, a style show, and scenes from Julius Caesar. Row 1: I. Ahl, N. Butterbaugh, H. Hanes, J. Andrysiak, D. Holden, A. Bolenbaugh, B. Herendeen, L. Bower, K. Huber.

Del Loii Max Forbes. Clark Gould Janitors And Bus Drivers These tvvo groups of men are very special although their merits are seldom told, for they work mostly behind the scenes doing their own jobs and being on call wherever needed. The janitors and firemen per- form the multitude of different and tiring tasks of school main- tenance. The work is tedious, but these men of the broom fill their positions well. The bus drivers have the re- sponsibility of conveying students to and from the schools each day, a task requiring extreme care and caution. Bus service is used by those high school students living outside the city limits, and many elementary grade students are transported to their respective schools.

Fresh in our minds are the memories of the good times: the par- ties, the ball games, the gab sessions, the proms, and the fellowship of our classmates. Also very close to us is the additional knowl- edge and wisdom that we have acquired dur- ing our brief stay at K.H.S. Time has a funny way of passing us by with- out leaving evidence of its visit. What tomorrow will hold is a big question in the mind of each person. But for us, the seniors, the question mark looms even larger. One year from now the average person will be doing the same thing that he is now doing. But this year we are not the average; graduating from high school is one of the big steps in life. For us, a year ' s time may bring marriage, trade school, the armed forces, college, or a job. The future offers a challenge; can we accept it? The past has given us a basis on which we will be able to climb toward our goal. Whether or not we reach our goal, only time can tell. 110 PATRONS ALLEN ' S VENDING SERVICE ALLISON ' S AMERICAN SECURITY COMPANY ARTHUR E. BEYER, INC.
