THE KOSTANG PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF f KOUTS HIGH SCHOOL VOLUME XV 1961 We, the Annual Staff of the Class of '61, are proud to present the 1961 edition of the Kostang. We have worked hard and long so that in the years to come, you could reminisce all the joys and sorrows of this year by merely turning the pages of this book. We realize the importance of our education and are grateful to have had the opportunity to serve when called upon. We sincerely hope you will accept this book as our token of appreciation to those who have helped us through the last twelve years. KOSTANG STAFF Ted Wienke - Co-Editors - Carlyn Cannon DEDICATION We, the senior class, wish to pay tribute to one who has greatly improved our school during her time of service. She has not only helped the girls of our class to learn skills that will allow them to be good homemakers, but she has also improved the lunchroom for all the seniors, faculty, and underclassmen. For spending many long and tedious hours of planning and supervising, the Class of '61 dedi- cates our yearbook to Mrs. Mary Drazer.

CLASS POEM Myrna Birky Is blonde and blue-eyed, Her career she cannot decide. Carlyn Cannon is Army bound, There with Ed she will be found. Judi Chael will go to Ball State, We know that there she will rate. Wanda Daumer is not very tall, What she'll do is a question to all, Marilyn Duttlinger is next in line, We hope at Purdue she will do fine. Bennie Edwards is our business boss, Will it be a profit or a loss? Dennis Gesse is our basketball star, We hope in college he does go far. Nila Gesse went to Girls' State. With a high IQ she does rate. Lydia Gingerich works at the grocery store, No wonder the price of food is more. Anna Mae Good is short and neat, What problems in life will she meet? Larry Hamann has dark curly hair, You're liable to find him anywhere. Mary Jane Hurley has marriage in mind, We hope that happiness she will find. John Jarnecke is the farmer of the class, His Hampshire hogs you can't surpass. Jean Krug wants to be a nurse, Will her patients be better or worse? Jerry Lippert has a Chevy brown, Keep out of his way or he'll run you down. Eleanor Miller has a man in hand, Soon she’ll have a wedding band. Keith Nuest has a red and white car, On a gallon of gas it does go far. Karen Pfledderer lives on a farm, She is a girl with lots of charm. Dottie Pullins is our class blonde, Of roller skating she is fond. Tom Redelman some day an actor may be, Watch for him on your TV. Tom Simic is our stockroom boy The little blue wagon is his toy. Tom Sommers is our farm boy, Cattle and hogs are his pride and joy. Betty Struve is our office girl, Some people get her in a whirl. Judy Swing lives near LaCrosse, In her house she’ll be the boss. Joan Taylor drives a Rambler white, Sometimes she passes on the right. Joyce Tucker's jokes are always funny, Do you think they'll ever earn her money? Jim Upton works in the Royal Blue, You never know what he's going to do. Ted Wienke this yearbook did edit, To him we do owe much credit. Leonard Zabella is the hot rod of the class, There's no one that he couldn't pass. That's all of the Class of '61, CLASS COLORS Pearl Gray And White CLASS FLOWER Pink Carnation CLASS MOTTO Out of School's Life; Into Life's School’ CLASS SONG Auld Lang Syne It's time to leave, we've studied hard The teachers have helped us so We'll miss the school and all our friends And the memories we cherish so. We’ve studied hard, we’ve had to work We’ve taken it all in stride And now we know that we must go On our way from ole' Kouts High. FT As Juniors, we presented the play entitled Ram- shackle Inn. The story begins when Miss Belinda Pryde, Wanda Daumer and Lydia Gingerich, with the assistance of her business manager, Commodore Lucius Towser, Jerry Lippert; decides to spend her life savings on a hotel. When they arrive, they find that the hotel is rather run down. During the course of the play. Miss Pryde aids in capturing a ring of boot- leggers whose headquarters are in the hotel basement. On October 20, the Senior Class presented The Man Who Came To Dinner. The Stanleys, Joan Taylor and Jerry Lippert, anxiously awaited a visit from Sheridan Whiteside, Tom Redelman. The atmosphere changed, however, when Mr. Whiteside fell and injured his hip. From then on, he literally took over the house. He stayed long enough to break up a romance between his secretary, Joyce Tucker, and a reporter, Ted Wienke. Then just as he is about to leave, he again falls and the trouble starts over again.

On No- vember 12, the cheerleaders attended a conference at Indiana University in order to learn cheers, tech- niques, and ideas for pep rallies. In January the pep block consisting of 90 students carried out a card theme at the Porter County Tourney. Also, numerous sock hops were held throughout the year. The main source of funds is from the sale of the birthday calendar which is held each spring.
