THE KOSTANG Published by the Senior Class of Kouts High School VOLUME V 1951 Jtt fftpmnnj Larry Railing David Rosenbaum — Jerry Grieger You cannot say, you must not say That he is dead, He is just away! With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand He has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there; So think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here, Think of him still as the same, and say He is not dead, he is just away. The BrIdge BuI Ider An old man, going a lone highway. Came at evening, cold and gray. To a chasm vast and deep and wide Through which was flowing a sullen tide The old man crossed In the twilight dim. The sullen stream had no tears tor him; But he turned when he reached the other side And built a bridge to span the tide Old man, said a fellow traveler near, You are wasting your strength In building here Your Journey will end with the closing day. You never again must pass this way. You have crossed the chasm deep and wide. Why build you this bridge at eventide? The builder lifted his old grey head. Good Friend, In the path I have come, he said There follows after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been naught for me To that falr-halred youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross In the twilight dim. Good sir, I am building this bridge for him. William A. Dromgoole We, the Seniors of nineteen fifty-one, in recognition of the values given us by our school and in appreciation of these values, dedicate this, our annual, to our school. In editing this, book we have not only attempted tc record the happenings of our own school days, but have also attempted to bring memories to mind to those whose school days are now long gone and to create a goal for those younger generations whose school days are yet to come.

Men said as they saw Its beauty It shall never know decay. Great Is thy skill, O builder: Thy tame shall endure tor aye. A teacher bulIded a temple With loving and infinite care. Planning each arch with patience. Laying each stone with prayer. None praised her unceasing efforts None knew of her wondrous plan For the temple the teacher bulIded Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone is the builder’s temple. Crumbled Into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar. Food for consuming rust. But the emple the eacher builded Will last while the ages roll. For that beautiful unseen temple Is a child’s immortal soul. Author Unknown But Once We go this way but once, O friend of mine. So why not make the Journey well worth while. Giving to those who travel with us A helping hand, a word of cheer, a smile? We go this way but unce� Ah I never more Can we go back along the selfsame way. To get more out of life, undo the wrongs. Or speak love's words we knew but did not say. We go this way but once. Then let us make The road we travel blossomy and sweet With helpful, kindly deeds and tender words. Smoothing the path of bruised and stumbling feet. Author Unknown GERALDINE CROSS “Jerrie” G.A.A. 2, 3, 4 Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4 Music Festival 1 Carvinal Queen 4 Junior Play 3 Make-up Ass’t.

Diplomas tied with blue, a photograph or two, I find a note from you, among my souvenirs. A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest And though they do their best to bring me consolation; I count them all apart And as our life’s work starts We find golden memories among our souvenirs. -—Harriett Miller (2Hai.iL HJ-'os.m This is the poem concerning our class Including something for each lad and lass First in our class is Geraldine Cross Without a certain Fox she would be lost. Jo Anne Curtis is quite a kid In a Nurses’ home she’ll put her bid. Marilyn Danford is our little blond Of her quite a few boys are fond. Edna Dawson, next in line Has the Navy on her mind. George Deavers is quite a lad He never is mad nor is he sad. Katherine Fitzgerald is very small We wonder for whom she will fall. Sue French is a cute little creature You all know her daddy is a teacher. Loretta Fritz is president of G. A. A. Everyone thinks that she’s O. K. Melvin Haman is quiet a guy You sure can tell that he’s not shy. Velma Hibbs is a quiet soul She always seems to reach her goal. Wilma Hibbs from her friends will depart To go to the Academy of Fine Art. Joan Kelso, a secretary would be Will Roger permit it? Well we’ll see. Harriet Miller will soon have a job She’ll sign a life long lease with Bob. Marlene Miller with short dark hair Seems to have little worry or care. Jim Moody has a new Hudson car We’ll predict that he will go far. Agnes Olson is quite slow But her work is done just so. Next in line is Patrica Railing Who plans to marry Vic without failing. Frances Reinhardt is quite feminine And when she blushes it is genuine. Rose Reinhertz went to Washington, D. C. She’d like to travel, the world to see. Doris Rodrick, a sweet little lass Mornings she was always late to class. Dale Rosenbaum, the manager of our team, Seems to make all the Wheatfield girls dream. Dean Rosenbaum is the next one we see A Republican president he would be. Charles Schnek, leading man in our plays, All of the girls he does amaze. Bill Wilson with his independent way Drives class presidents to dismay. We end the list with Robert Young His laurels we will leave unsung. This poem is now done Concerning the class of ’51- Eniox Back in 1939, thirty-five little children started through the halls of education on their way down Graduation Highway. Eleven of these children have remained at Kouts to finish their journey. They are Marilyn Danford, Harriett Miller, Marlene Miller, Agnes Olson, Frances Reinhardt, Rose Reinhertz, Dale and Dean Rosenbaum, Charles Schnekenburger, Bill Wilson, and Robert Young. Before we had completed the first year of our journey Joan Kelso and Patricia Railing had joined us. Margaret Dinsmore guided us through this first part of our highway to success. After a few months of carefree fun along the way, we again started on down Graduation Highway. We found that Sue French was going to continue with us on our journey. This year our guide was Bertha Drazer. Now for our third year of travel under the guidance of Anita Rosenbaum. Boys must be awfully scarce; all we seem to be adding are girls. Geraldine Cross and Doris Rodrick are traveling with us now. Four years, we are beginning to feel like seasoned travelers, with Minnie Sutter helping us along. The two new faces you see are Loretta Fritz and Jim Moody. I was beginning to wonder when an other boy would join us. Well, boys aren’t so scarce after all. The fifth part of our journey, and Melvin Haman is going to continue with us along this Super Highway of Graduation. Kathryn French lent us a helping hand this year. Edna Dawson started with us on this part of the journey and another set of twins, Wilma and Velma Hibbs joined us later on. Just think six years now and Mary Reed is going with us this year. We have completed half our journey but we still have a long way to go. At last we have the seventh part of the Highway. My, what a lot of change in the scenery! Different teachers and different rooms for section of your journey. We also encountered another new experience, men teachers! Katherine Fitzgerald is sharing our new experiences. No new travelers have joined us this year and we have passed the biggest hurdle put before us yet. We walked, rather rapidly to be sure, across the stage, shook hands with Mr. Pfledderer and received our eight grade diplomas. Take a look at us now—Freshmen—no less. JoAnne Curtis is traveling with us and so is George Deavers. We gave a play entitled “There were Ninety and Nine” this year. Our journey is growing shorter each year, also more interesting. We were even allowed to sponsor a dance. It was a great success. Sophomores, this means G.A.A. initiation to the girls. Did you ever see such things as came to school today? It also meant we were to present a Christmas Program to the assembly. For two years we have been checking coats at the ballgames. Eleven years, and we are presenting our first play to the public. It was called “Here we Go Again!” Miss Xurafes was our sponsor this year. We were allowed to sponsor another dance. A good thing too, because we gave the Seniors a prom. Of course, selling ice cream bars at the game helped too. At last, the end of our journey is in sight. But before we arrived at Graduation Gate we presented another play. “Don’t Keep Him Waiting” was our production number this time. We sold cokes this year at the basketball games. This Kostang represents the work of the last semester. Miss Dittmer has certainly helped us this year. In parting we want to say we would have liked to have mentioned everyone who went part of the way down our highway with us. We did not have enough space for this. To those, we say, we hope you have had good luck on your own highway of life. _ W WrfC and Jeitamsnt of tfie. dCaii of We, the Seniors of 1951, being of unsound mind and little hope of regaining it, do hereby ordain and publish this to be our last will and testament, in which we will push onto others all of our undesirable traits. First, we, the individual members, bestow upon the following: I, GERALDINE CROSS, will my ability to catch a Fox to Molly Rhynard. I, JOANNE CURTIS, find it difficult to part with anything. I, MARILYN DANFORD, will my glasses to anyone who can keep tract of them. I, EDNA DAWSON, will my interest in the Navy to Susie Young. I, GEORGE DEAVERS, will my little red wagon and job with the hot lunch to Bill DeWitt. I, KATHERINE FITZGERALD, will my figure to Judy Jacobson.

I, MELVIN HAMAN, will my goose hunting ability to anyone who is a good shot. I, VELMA HIBBS, will nothing, there should be more of me as it is. I, WILMA HIBBS, will my art ability to Mr. Jensen.

I, ROSE REINHERTZ, will my ability to find a comfortable sleeping place on the train to anyone who makes the Washington D. C. Tour next year. I, DORIS RODRICK, will my ability to get to school late to anyone who doesn’t mind facing the teachers. I, DALE ROSENBAUM, will nothing; everything I have goes to the Republicans. I, DEAN ROSENBAUM, will my gun to future basketball squads, so they can go rabbit hunting. Jlait ViCC and 'ZJe.itame.nt of ttie dCaii of 1Q51 I, CHARLES SCHNEKENBURGER, will my leads in plays to John Struve.

We, THE SENIOR CLASS, will to Mr. Jensen a government class in which the girls listen. We, THE SENIOR CLASS, will to Mr. McMurtry a psychology class that reads its lessons. We, THE SENIOR CLASS, will to Mr. Overton a larger and quieter Ag. class. We, THE SENIOR CLASS, will to Miss Punter a high school that doesn’t gripe about the hot lunches. We, THE SENIOR CLASS, will to Mrs. Strassemeyer a Senior Chorus that comes to class. Third and last, we bestow upon our underclassmen the following: We, THE SENIOR CLASS, will the underclassmen all the privileges left that we didn’t take. We, THE SENIOR CLASS, will to the school a Senior class which we hope will be as brilliant and studious as our own. WITNESS WITNESS CCaii Early one fall evening in the year 1961 the lights of K.H.S. are all ablaze. The students are rushing around preparing the gym for the annual carnival to be held that night. At 7:00 p.m. the first family to arrive for the affair is the Martin’s—Vic, Pat, and their two boys and a gir!. Pat is amazed at the changes in the school since ’51 when she graduated. The most surprising are the addition of several new rooms. There is now a vitamin room under the direction of Miss Punter (pupils are fed with vitamin pills of food nowdays), a soundproof room for Mr. Betz in which the band practices without driving the whole school crazy, the atom room under Mr. Board’s supervision where atomic energy is harnassed and used, special prop room for Mrs. Strassemeyer where scenery for plays is kept, an art exhibit room where Mr. Jensen’s student’s paintings are on display, and a printing office under the super- vision of Miss Dittmer for printing annuals. In the back of the school building is a new barn for Mr. Overton where the Ag. boys raise animals, and a stadium where Mr. French’s football team is the best in the state. The other new addition to the school is a television set in each room. Teaching is now done by television (what an easy life for teachers). Mr. McMurtry, in order to keep the sets in good working condition, has added the ability of TV repair men to his list of accomplishments. As the carnival progressed, Pat happens to pass by a fortune telling tent. Think- ing for a minute, she leaves the kids with Vic and enters. Seating herself across from the heavily veiled woman, Pat asks the woman if her powers would allow her to tell Pat what all of her classmates are doing. “Of course,’’ was the reply, “if you cross my palm with silver.” This done, the woman waved her hands over the crystal ball a few times and began in a monotone— “First, I see two sisters working together, they are Wilma and Velma. Wilma gives lectures on “The Art of Talking Southern” and Velma is her writer and publicity manager. Rose talks Southern, too, but in a different way. She plays Aunt Jemima on television. (Remember her portrayal of a Negro woman at the Senior play?) Next I see that Doris (Mrs. Wise) is always flying around the world with her husband, trying to break the records of speed. They are also raising two little jet pilots. I seem to see someone else who travels fast. It’s beginning to clear—oh, it’s Bill driving midget racers in France. He went to study art but found driving more profitable. Speaking of cars, I see Loretta driving around in a Cadillac. She is editor of the Chicago Herald American—quite a jump from Kostang editor. She rooms with Marilyn whose occupation is making false teeth for combs. To be in dentistry was always her ambition in life. Agnes, also in Chicago, is a famous taxidermist. She specializes in stuffing dates. (I wonder what kind) George is now in Washington D. C. as Secretary of State. Since he started hand- ling our foreign policies, the countries of the world all turned into democracies. I (2Lm LPxo iIiucl) see someone else in policies—why it’s Dean. He’s the founder and head of the Repub- lican party in Russia. His brother, Dale, didn’t get as far— he got hooked in Wheat- field. He’s engaged in oiling the bearings of the skates for the roller derbies held there. B-r-r this looks like a blizzard, why there’s Jerrie (Mrs. Fox) in Alaska of all places. She went there to help her husband fight the Russians with ice balls if there had been a war. They liked it so well they stayed. Now the crystal ball is in a warmer country, hmm. I believe it’s Africa where Jim is living. After putting a dent in the fender of his car, he was so broken up he went there where he could ride dependable elephants. Hawaii is the next country, who could be here? Oo-la-la-, its Edna, she is one of the famed Hula dancers of the isle. While out of the U. S. lets see who else could be found in the crystal ball. We find Marlene in Australia. She is the owner of the biggest rabbit and kangaroo ranch in the world. Her latest husband gave the ranch to her. Someone else who is farming is Melvin. He specializes in raising peanuts without shells on a farm in Peru. To get back to America, there’s Kay in New York as a model at Gimbels. Frances is in the big city, too. She has the job of teaching the young debutants the art of blushing. Bob is working at the Chevrolet plant in Detroit. He designed a new rocket powered model (his old Chevrolet didn’t go fast enough) for them, so they made him honorary manager. I see another classmate of yours dealing with cars—Charles. He invented a new-helicopter called the Schnekenbaker and owns a factory in South Bend for producing them. The crystal ball is finally bringing me back to this vicinity. I imagine you know these, but I’ll take a quick once over the occupations of the people who were faith- ful to Kouts. Joan Kelso, who lives here when she is not traveling, is the first woman manager of the “Globe Trotters”. Her husband managed the “Redheads” so, not to be outdone by him. she took over the Trotters. JoAnne Curtis is the official hostess at the legion hall and also the singer for the Harry James orchestra that is permanent- ly booked there. Sue 'Mrs. Henderson) took engineering at college and at present is in charge (her husband is her assistant) of straightening out the curves in highway 49 between Kouts and Valpo. “I believe that concludes the report on ou-, I mean, your classmates.” “Oh, you forgot to say what Harriett is doing, Pat mentioned. “Haven’t you guessed yet? I’m she,” the fortune teller said lifting her veil, “how do you think I knew so much about your classmates? You see. Bob, I, and the child- ren visited all of them last summer on our vacation.” Later that night, Pat left the school tired from the thrilling carnival but happy that she knew the where abouts of her old buddies.

The Music Department includes band and choruses. To start off the year the band went to Valparaiso for the annual Valpa- paraiso Homecoming, which was October 21, 1950. We ranked third among the few bands that participated in the marching contest that day. November 18, 1950, was also an exciting day for the band students. Forty-five students jumped out of bed that morning at 4:00 to get started for Bloomington, Ind- iana, where we were one of the 150 bands to participate in the All High School Band Day Program at the Indiana University. What a day we had! You can imagine the crowd at the average football game without 5,000 students who are there for a per- formance, We were escorted around the field by the Marching One Hundred, the Ind - iana University Band. After a day of excitement and fun we started for home. The first car pulled into Kouts about 8:30 that evening. Boy, were we tired! Basketball games started and you know what that means for the band—march- ing, of course. ANCHORS AWEIGH was the theme of one of our performances. Another at Christmas time was a Christmas tree. The band played a few Christmas carols. To start the new year off, the band marched for the Morgan game with the theme of the PARADE OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS. The theme for the Portage game, which was the last of the year, was INDIAN BOY. The solo contest was held at East Chicago. Indiana, on February 17,1951. In the instrumental department, sever, students came back with top honors. Those playing duets were: Doris Kneifel and Sue French; and Doris Kerlinska and Lillian Deli; solos were Carol Danford, Norman Schnekenburger, and Bill Salzer. Eight students received second place in the contest—a sax quartet by Sue French, Doris Kneifel, Marlene Rhynard, and Janet McMurtry and solos by Doris Kneifel, Roger Redelman. Loretta Fritz, and Nancy French. One third was received in the contest which was the cornet quartet by Bill Salzer, Russell Pumroy, Norman Schnekenburger, and Ronald Haman. In the vocal department one second and one third were received by the six girls participating. Singing a duet and receiving second were Joan Birky and Donna Sutter. Lola Sutter, Shirley Railing, Doris Kneifel, and Nancy French sang in a quar- tet and received third for their efforts. Some of the other events in the Music Department were: March 16, the all County Music Program at Valparaiso. March 31, the band goes to Hammond for the district band contest. April 7, the band will go to the state contest if we are successful at Hammond. May 4, the Chorus Concert to be given by the Junior and Senior High School choruses.

Athlefe s Prayer Be with me( God, and help me win The contest of today; But let me hear with humble heart The praises people say. Let me be perfect In my torm And let each aim be true; And let me take a certain pride In everything I do. But fill my soul wlth honesty. And listen to my prayer; That every time I play the game, I play It fair and square. Because the glory of this world. Can only last so Iong; And there Is bound to be an end. To every magic song. And every victory I gain. Be longs at last to You; Because You give me all the strength. To see each struggle through.

You are the holder of our treasures You are the keeper of our joys You forever standing there Will shout our victories without noise. You, without a sound or whisper You, without a word or phrase Will ever stay and sing to others Songs of good and songs of praise. You know who has tried and conquered You know who has played and won You must stay and tell our children Of the good deeds we have done. You must stay and help them conquer You must stay and help them win You must show them all our trophies Tell them then, of what has been.

Girls may join G.A.A. at the beginning of the sophomore year by means of initiation. Being a member of this association is not required. All officers must be members of the senior class. Our presiding officers are Loretta Fritz, president; Harriett Miller, vice-president; Joan Kelso, secretary; and Doris Rodrick, treasurer. Meetings are held in the gymnasium every Thursday afternoon. After business is transacted in the early part of the meeting, the girls are free to take part in social games. The G. A. A. has a point system through which any girl may earn eighteen hundred points entitling her to an emblem. A girl earning these points as a Junior or Senior is eligible for a sweater in her senior year. The sweater is usually gold with black emblems. The senior girls who received sweaters this past year were: Loretta Fritz, Marlene Miller, Sue French, Rose Ella Reinhertz, and Jo Anne Curtis. Every year the G. A. A. sponsors a Mother and Daughter banquet. This year it was held on March 29, at the Kouts high school gymnasium. The decorative theme was the United Nations. All tables were decorated in blue and white (the U. N. colors). Beside each setting was a nut cup with a small flag representing every nation. After the banquet, entertainment followed. The G. A. A. makes its money selling candy at noon and at basketball games. Money obtained from these activities is spent on buying equipment for school. This year’s purchases included a heating pad for the private and first aid room, a Castle Tower for the play ground and articles for the first aid room such as cotton, cotton swabs, iodine, etc. This first aid room is one of the responsibilities of the G. A. A. Another activity of G. A. A. is providing student teachers to supervise the activities of the grade children at noon. dandy £f££ ± SEATED: Harriett Miller, Vice President, Loretta Fritz, President, Joan Kelso, Secretary.

We all have a part in the plan. What does it matter what duty Falls on the lot ot man? Someone has blended the plaster, Soneone has carried the stone; Neither the man nor the Master Ever has builded alone. Making a root tor the weather. Or building a house tor a King, Only by working together Have men accomplished a thing. Author Unk nown umor ‘Here We Go Again” was presented in the Kouts High Auditorium on April 14,1950.

(Lpriom Twilight was just descending on the eve of May 13, 1950. Thirty-one couples began arriving about six-thirty at the Kouts High School for the biggest event to high-light the school year. This event was the Prom given in honor of the Seniors by the Junior Class. As the couples entered the ballroom, a lovely Southern Colonial scene lay before them. An archway entwined with American Beauty roses accented the entrance to the colonial garden. Silver stars twinkled down at them from the delicate blue sky. Tinseled blue and silver streamers cascading down the walls reflected the soft glow of the candle light. Two appropriately dressed waiters ushered the couples to their tables, which were covered with ornamentation of crystal candle holders and pastel candles. The dainty favor adjoining each setting was a small colonial china figurine very much in keeping with the theme. After a delicious buffet dinner there were a few ceremonial speeches. The couples then wandered off their separate ways. Some danced to the dreamy music of Bill Glassford’s orchestra. The musicians played from the portico of a Southern Colonial mansion, in front of which was a green lawn edged with a white picket fence entwined with American Beauty roses. Other couples drank punch at the candle-lit buffet table. A few couples preferred to stand on the soft green grass at the edge of a fish pool in the center of the garden and watch the golden fish lazily swimming to and fro. Some of the more romantic couples strolled down two grass-covered pathways to love seats conveniently placed in the corners of the garden. As the the hands of the clock slowly wound their way towards midnight, the couples danced to the strains of “Goodnight Sweetheart” and proceeded to depart. The eagerly awaited event was now over. arcani SEATED: Agnes Olson, Marlene Miller, Jane Dittmer, Sponsor, Rose Reinhertz.

Kids are yelling and raising a riot When suddenly the driver yells, “Quiet!” The noise subsides for a short period of time. Everything seems so peaceful and sublime. Many times at the bus driver we are balking But stop and think kids; it’s better than walking! JSui [£ xi T£i a LPoem £ck ooL (2axnujat As I arrived at the school on the cool, crisp evening of November 3, 1950, I found the school house all aglow, and upon entering saw the students rushing here and there making last minute preparations for an indoor carnival to be held that night. The first object I encounted was a large turkey which was to be raffled for Thanksgiving. As I went on I found the Girls’ Athletic Association had set up a booth where artists were busily at work sketching profiles. After strolling down the hallway, I went into the gymnasium where the Boys’ Athletic Association was running a free throw stand. Many experts were trying their luck for the grand prize to be awarded later in the evening. The fresh- men were in charge of the target range, the 4-H boys had a ring throw at spikes, the eighth grade, a sponge throw, and the seventh grade a penny pitch. A carnival would never be complete without popcorn and taffy apples, so the 4-H girls were taking care of this demand. The Juniors had a baseball toss while the Sophomores were sponsoring a dart throw. The Seniors sold coke to the thirsty crowd. Out in the east hall the Band Boosters were doing a rushing business, for they were running a lunch stand. Hungry patrons were served steaming coffee home-made pie, and luscious cake. In the midst of the other gaily decorated booths, high lighting the scene, a queen and her court were crowned to reign over the carnival. Geraldine Cross was crowned queen by Charles Schenkenburger, Vice-President of the Senior Class. Her attendants were Alice Greiger, Carol Cannon, Shirley Railing, and Marilyn Danford. Immediately following this important event was a cake-walk sponsored by the Band Boosters. There was a special pep band playing a selection of appropriate tunes for this activity. Many delicious looking cakes were taken home by lucky people. After all these gay festivities were over, the crowd slowly departed, everyone saying what a wonderful evening it had been. umfiuid Cfuf FIRST ROW: Miss Punter, Doris Kerlinska, Evelyn Jahnz, Virginia Jahnz, Gwenn Heinold SECOND ROW: Betty June Oswald, Jane Jacobson, Allan Haman, Carolyn Reinhertz, Geraldine Dusek.

Teach the teachers; let them see That they shape earth’s destiny. Home and church and school— these three Carry on Thv ministry. As from Thee come growth of seed. So to Thee we bring our need: What to plant and how to sow.
