Other cooks in the second row are Mrs. Grubb, Mrs. Narkter, Mrs. Munk, and Mrs. Eminger.

With the co-operation of the school administrators, the teachers, the students, and the community, our school is constantly trying to improve the quali- ty of courses offered, to offer cultural programs that appeal to the varied interests of our student body, and to introduce new courses designed to help students gain the knowledge they need and wish. Our school ' s high standards have provided us with a first-class commission from the Indiana State Department of Public Instruction and mem- bership in the North Central Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools.

Who? The freshmen at Freshman Parent Night in 1958? Yes, this event was only one of many experiences that were to help them as they worked toward the goal stated in their motto. What about the sophomores in 1959? Their qualities of leadership and originality were evident when they broke away from the tradition of purchasing rather impractical class sweaters and purchased black finger- tip jackets with a grey letter and numerals. As juniors, the class had an active, fast-moving year as they continued to learn how to become better citizens. They bought class rings, worked on the magazine sale, and created a beautiful Prom. As seniors, have they finally reached the goal of their motto? No, but they continue trying. Although the seniors can scarcely believe that the long-awaited year of 1962 has finally arrived, they are caught up in the flurry of activities and necessary senior business. After graduation some will get married, others will go into the service of their country, and still others will con- tinue their formal education; whatever they do, they will continue Striving to become the better citizens of tomorrow. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The long-awaited evening of May 19 finally arrived. The boys, with a freshlv groomed appearance, called for their dates who resembled a modern set of Cin- derellas. The Grand March started the evening ' s ac- tivities. The festivities were continued in a transformed cafeteria where a buffet style banquet was served. The master of ceremonies for ths evening was David Ruder- man. The Junior Quintet, composed of Brenda More- land, Pam Weingart, Marvjo Kinimell, Jane Rynearson, and Pam Reichart sang to a ukulele accompaniment. The dance, with music provided by Deb Tinkle ' s band, commenced in the little gym under a setting Hawaiian sun.

As in the years past, we began the traditional magazine sales in October. Many of us sold over $100 to make this one of the best selling years. The first semester class party was entitled Junior Follies. Part of the entertainment was a can-can by some of our graceful Mademoi- selles.

For weeks these rings were our main topic of discussion. As the school year is quickly drawing to a close, we are starting to make plans for the an- nual Junior-Senior Prom which we hope will be the best one of all. As this year closes behind us, we can think back as well as look ahead to next year when we will be Seniors and the graduates of 1963.

FURNITURE STORE 54 7th 8th Qrade History During this year the junior high teachers have had one goal: To better prepare the eighth grade students for high school. As in previous years, they have done their best to reach this goal. Eighth grade students experience a world of new materials. They have their first taste of al- gebra, biology, and the preparation behind a research paper. The eighth grade students are eagerly await- ing their freshman year. The seventh grade is a brand new experience for its students, for it is the beginning of junior high school. During this year the seventh grade students have not had many activities; they have been busy studying. The biggest event of the year was the class party which included dancing and games. The seventh grade anticipates taking the steps forward into the shoes of their successors, the Eighth Grade.

The Board of Control handles requests or problems related to our school activities that are not controlled by the School Board, faculty, or the Student Forum. Many of their decisions are based on recommendations from the Student Forum. The Board of Control is composed of the junior and senior class presidents and a girl and boy elected by the student body along with five appointed teachers.

The Kendallville Chapter of Future Farmers of America, which holds regular meetings the first and third Thursday of every month, has 39 members. The chapter acquired three members from Avilla this year through reorganization. This year 4 members were raised to green hand; also, 8 members received their chapter farmer degree. The chapter tries to rid the community of pests by selling rat bait and holding a pest con- test each year. Other activities included selling garden seeds, securing chairs and tables for the fish fry, and selling popcorn at the basketball games. In addition, each member was required to have a production project. The Kendallville FFA members meet to discuss their current activities and projects. Each member presents the specific problems involved in his project to the group for discussion. Ronald Leighty placed third among individual scores in last year ' s National Contest. Paul LeCount, Chairman of the Noble County Extension Committee, presents Clairdon Strater with the Junior Corn King Trophy. Again, our FFA chapter has been very busy and has worked very hard to win as many con- tests as possible. In 19 years of participation in the National Junior Vegetable Grower ' s Asso- ciation Contests, Kendallville has won the na- tional championship 11 times and has tied for top honors once. The local chapter has won trips and prizes valued at more than $10,000. Mr. Schinbeckler, our sponsor, has served as chairman of the national judging, grading, and identification committee for the past 10 years. This year we will be represented at the District Parliamentary Procedure Contest for the first time. Some boys continue judging after grad- uation since the rules state that anyone can judge until he is twenty-one. Dale Schinbeckler, coach; Dennis Ackerman, third individual; Ray Wentworth, first individual; and Victor Chaney, second individual, outscored all other teams at the NJVGA Convention.

Boys are chosen to represent cities and towns all over the state of Indiana. For one week at Indiana University, they study government and take part in a mock political campaign. Not only do these boys gain a better understanding of Indiana government, but also they learn how to live with other boys from all over the state of Indiana. Girls ' State is a mythical state which brings nominated girls from every town in Indiana together. The session is held on the Indiana University Campus for a week during the summer. All government func- tions are studied. An election is held; the most important office, governor, is filled. The main function of Girls ' State is to teach us the rights and responsibilities of being American citizens.

JEFFERSON STUDIO-Official School Photographer 77 W1Q AND PAINT: Worked Hard To Become Thespian: WplWWn The Wig and Paint Society of Kendallville High School has done well this year. There are approximately 125 members and more are ex- pected by the end of the year. To become a member, a student must try out at one of the Wig and Paint meetings, which are held every other Tuesday night. If he is taken into Wig and Paint, he then earns all the points he can in order to become a Thespian. He may earn points by acting in a play, working back- stage, working on a committee, or by selling tickets for the performances. n Row 1: Barbara Bower, Kathy DeVoe, Cheryl Charles, Susie Castle, Carole Blue, Paula Chid- dister, Pam Fritz , Buth Eicher, Loretta Haskins, Marsha Henney, Kris Irons, Shirley Hays.

Thespian Troupe 1106 now has 24 active members and will have more before the end of the school year. To become a Thespian, you must try out be- fore the Thespian board and then earn 10 points, which equals a total of 100 hours of stage work. It is possible for a person to earn all of his 10 points by participating in one plav if he is a hard worker. Dave Ruderman, one of our very hard work- ers, is an Honor Thespian. To become an Hon- or Thespian, you must have at least 60 points. Several of the Thespian members tried out for the local Rotary Club Speech Contest this year. Among these persons was Nancy Butterbaugh who won first prize and went to the Regional Rotary Speech Contest. Hal Hanes is lying on the ground after he was killed by the villagers of Brigadoon. - PW ' : T 15 il fiotf i: Linda Kurtz, Sue Fisher, Jane Rasp, Jeanne Gaskill, Maryjo Kimmell, Suellen Zollman, Karen Lash, Cheryl Rice, Nancy Butterbaugh, Pat Cochard, Babette Herendeen, Melody Chrysler.

KENDALLVILLE BOWLING CENTER 81 AUDITORIUMS: Presented Educational Entertainment Auditorium in years past has been a weekly program presented by students with different talents and by paid performers. These programs serve the student by broadening his knowledge, audience participation training, and experience in performing before audiences. This year auditorium programs were sched- uled at varied times. As students, we have seen science demonstrations, talent shows, actors and actresses, singers, dancers, students from other countries, films, and we have been taught the use of dial telephones. The student is called upon to pay a fee of 50 a semester, which is a small price to contribute in comparison to what he gains. This year audi- torium programs were under the direction of Mr. Donald Polzin; last year they were under the direction of Mrs. Elsa Buckner. Right: Gilbert H. Erbisch gives a program on science.

The Mixed Chorus and Girls ' Glee Club are open to all freshmen through senior levels. Those interested in chorus begin their training in the Freshman Chorus. Five of six ensembles entered the District NISBOVA Contest in Fort Wayne, where they were given a rating by a judge.

The Spotlight contains regular features of gossip, re- ports of the various organizations and clubs, the latest news in sports, editorials, and any other articles of in- terest to our students. In addition to the regular monthly editions, the Spot- light publishes a tourney times during the tournev, and at the end of the year a special Spotlight is de- voted to the seniors.

KAY AITCH ESS: Recorded a Pictorial History of School Year We, the yearbook staff, present to you a pictorial his- tory of the school year in the 50th edition of Kay Aitch. We hope that, as you turn the pages, our record of the Junior-Senior Prom, the Y-Teen dance, and other mem- orable Kendallville High School events will revive pleas- ant memories. Work began in September when meetings were held to elect the theme and to decide on the appearance of the book. Subscriptions were sold; business managers sold ads; pictures were taken throughout the school; page dummies were set up; pictures were identified; and copywriters were soon busy with last minute changes. Before we knew it, it was time to send our book to press. It is our hope that this edition of the Kay Aitch Ess will serve you as a reminder of this year ' s highlights and that it will provide you with many enjoyable mo- ments.

However, cross country, a minor sport, has been revised and is slowly gaining popularity. Four new members have been added to the coaching staff: John Lebo, basketball; Jerre McMinama, basketball; Hugh Enicks, track; and Clinton Frymier, track. These new coaches, along with last year ' s staff, have done a fine job in teaching the many skills of each sport as well as good sportsman- ship, in developing the right mental attitude, and in fulfilling the general purposes of the athletic department.

K-KLUB: Honored Athletes The K-Klub is composed of boys who have acted above and beyond the call of duty in one or more of our five major sports. To become a member of this organization and to receive his award, a boy must participate an d earn a certain number of points. The K-Klub, a distinctive club for athletes, has many other functions. Two award banquets, a dance, the operation of the concession stand at the football games, and the sale of candv at the basketball games helped to provide a worth- while year for the club members.

The Comet football team, playing with a great amount of hustle and desire under the direction of Ernie Ferrario, went to work in August of 1961 to produce one of the best Comet teams since football was revived in 1953. Dur- ing the season the Comets would win a game one week and lose a game the next week. Finally, they ended the season with a five won and four lost record. The team tied for third in the N.E.I.A.C. conference with a five won and three lost record. The other defeat came from the Comets ' only non-conference adversary, Nappanee. The first time the Comets saw action this year was at the Jamboree held at Angola. The field was composed of the teams from Garrett, Au- burn, Angola, and Kendallville. The Comets, who appeared somewhat nervous early in the season, lost to Garrett and tied Auburn. They recovered later in the season and defeated Gar- rett and Auburn to close the season by winning a one point thriller from Angola. John Gehring, Tom Grubb, and Ken Ihrie were chosen for the N.E.I.A.C. honor team because of their out- standing play on the field. SEASON RECORD OPP.

VARS1T 7 BASKETBALL: Hoosier Hysteria Comes to K.H.S. After the Coiet success on the gridiron, Coach John Leo summoned all the boys inter- ested in participung in basketball. The response was good as th season was. The record stood at 11-12 inclucbg the Holiday and Sectional tournev play. The Comets hished last in the N.E.I.A.C. con- ference, overcoiing only one foe, Garrett. However, the toan made a comeback by winning the Holiday Tomev for the first time since it has been playd at Kendallville. Kendallville handed Garret! second setback of the season, 56-53. In the fini frame the Comets overpowered Ligonier, 72-56. The section; wasn ' t quite as successful as the Comet fans would have liked to have had it. Kendallville breezed by Wawaka, 82-41. Then our team readily handed Avilla a 78-60 de- feat to advance to the semi-final game against Albion. The Comets had defeated Albion by 4 points the first game of the season, but Albion defeated the Comets, 58-42. Under new coach John Lebo, the Comets played their best and two members of the team Dan Diggins and Ralph Miller were chosen for the N. E. I. A. C. honor teams. The team will lose five seniors through graduation. The school, the coaches, the remaining team members, and the junior varsity are looking forward to hard work and more honors next year.

Although we have many won- derful memories of our years in high school which we will carry with us throughout our lives, we are eager to pursue our various plans and dreams. Throughout our lives we have been helped and guided by our parents and teachers; now we must make our own decisions and solve our own problems. We will have to accept the con- sequences of these decisions for our lives will be what we make them. Some of us will obtain a job after school, and some will enlist in a branch of the armed forces while others will enter the trade school, the college, or the university of their choice. Whatever calling we follow, the knowledge and experience we have gained during our years at Kendallville High School will be the founda- tion of our future lives. — PATRONS — ALLISON ' S AMERICAN SECURITY COMPANY BANNER GROCERY BARKER ' S FIRESTONE STORE, INC.
