They are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself.’’ 2 ■aCJuf ' f I [k 1 t The text of the introduction adapted from The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran. 3 “And what is it but fragments of your own self you would discard that you may become free? In truth that which you call freedom is the strongest of chains: though its links glitter in the sun and dazzle your eyes.’’ 4 “And I say that life is indeed darkness save when there is urge, And all urge is blind save when there is knowledge, And all knowledge is vain save when there is work . . . ” 6 7 not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children. And look int o space; you shall see Him walking in the lightning and descending in rain.” i.4t� 10 n 12 Jeff Bridges John Callahan Jim Brinsfield Jim DeRoo 13 Mil 14 15 16 17 18 Tom Monaghan Andy McKenna Dave Mull 19 20 21 22 23 Out of the mist of nonentity in the waning summer days emerged a herd of boys from there and here. What thoughts did they foster for the year — freshman year? With what feelings were they left? Uncertain individuals working, learning; being drawn to each other as the year followed its hilly course. With a new confidence and yes, a degree of unity, these young men meet the year-end. 24 25 The Spirit of 74 (Impetus to Vacuum) They asked me to supply the words In a predetermined space; Words to convey the feeling . . . Words to convey US. But when I sat down To seek those words I surprisingly found them Well within reach . . . But not within desire. For what binds this class together So completely As a Unit of Friendship Is the Mystery And the Fantasy And the Tomorrow Which is in each of us Today. And to tap that mine of mystery Or to exclude her from us Would in essence be to pry us apart. Leave us as one on the horizon For a time, And our light shall glow for all. Our unconquerable Spirit Shall commend itself soon enough To a very special place Of radiant mystery, Of a new sunrise; In each of our hearts. 26 27 28 29 30 k •« ■ ... 32 Bill Igoe Bill Ketcham John Langley Mike Mallardi Timm Todd, Nicholas-Peter Temple 38 39 40 FIFIH FORM 41 “The more faithfully you listen to the voice that is within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.” . . .

Nolan, Captain 106 107 It was a season of diverse emotions: the joy of the big win, the intense excitement of a close game, the bitterness of the stalemate, and the dejection of the sound defeat. Yet throughout the season there was an all-out effort — sometimes frustrated, sometimes crowned with accomplishment — but always persisting, practice after practice, game after game. the record appears mediocre, and it is. (3-3-2) The team is not. The team experienced the sweat of early practice, the cuts and bruises, the defeats and the victories — all together. We learned what Mr. Balawender meant about “dealing with frustration.” We felt the pain, the joy, the pride — A pride of accomplishment that was not recorded in the record.

It was a long, blistering season, charged with both hard wins and hard losses . . . and hard suicides. But whatever the situation, imbedded in us all was an in¬ credible sense of pride that said “never die.” Like a majority of teams, we were diverse on a large scale. And the job of putting together five sets of moves, shots and personalities fell upon Mr. Jim Coppens. His record of 10-7 after a tough season shows Mr. Cop- pens’ success at a seemingly hopeless task. You could appreciate his problems only if you had known the team before. They proved difficult. Something happened in the mid¬ dle of February. We became the team of our potential, and defeated in quick succession the Morgan Township and Wheeler teams. (They were the top two teams in Porter County. Hah.) LaLumiere rolled on towards the Spring de¬ feating six of seven opponents. To remember those fever- pitched fourth quarters, when the school would be on their feet, swelling the barn with every yell they could think of, and the sound of the victory-laden horn is to re¬ member this team. 115 Clockwise from Left: Jim DeRoo Brad Johnston Gib Terlicher Asst-Coach Balawender Chuck Bayles Head Coach Coppens K.

That they loved to listen to classical music in the park, and make angels in the snow? Or, that they gave everything they had, and responded to excellent coaching? That they grew together as a team, and achieved their lofty goals with a deep pride borne of personal accomplishment? (probably the first three!) What can you say about an undefeated season? That it is over? Or that the tradition will live on with nine returning lettermen? What can you say? Coach David J.

Watching us stunnble in after a short jaunt, asked if he had a comment, coach Magenis replied “Not right now . . . I’ll have one by the end of the season.’’ It must have been a terrifying thought to think we could have been a competing track team. Many rainy meets and grinding practices later his thinking began to take a definite shape. After losing two of the first five meets by a total of five points, we picked up a head of steam with Kevin Fetherston, Tom Hickam, and Randy Hurt leading the way. We tore into the last half of the season, breaking six school records on our way to a 7-3-1 season. 121 122 Mr. Moore Greg Beucher Gilbert Terlicher Mike Verkuilen K. C.

As the baseball team’s record of 4 wins, 5 losses, and 1 tie seems to indicate, a strong pitching staff makes or breaks a team. Say¬ ing that the pitching staff consisted of two players seems to imply a lack of depth. Depth was not the problem with hitting. Until the last few games, the highest batting average was 800. Coming down to a more human average of 684, next year’s captain, Steve Rentschler, offers great hope for the future. In contention for the same title was a freshman, Jeff Bridges, who batted well over 400. All but five of this year’s players will return next year, anx¬ ious to smooth the rough edges that lie ahead. 125 FOOTBALL ATHLETIC AWARDS Team Co-Captain: KEVIN FETHERSTON BRAD LINDBORG Most Valuable Offensive Player: K.

Every seven years, the School must review and prepare its philosophy and objectives for every area and department . . . and the School is evaluated as to the validity of its statement. A great deal of preparation was required of the students and faculty alike. Certainly we were anxious, but the evaluation developed in a delicious experience. “ . . . sure I have time to talk . . . His¬ tory Department? Well, I think . . . how did you like the basketball game . . . and ...” And it was over. The team’s report was gratifying: ‘‘We found LaL- umiere well staffed and well led . . . particularly im¬ pressed with school unity ...” There were recom¬ mendations as well, but, more importantly, the Com¬ mittee at the close of its visit voted unanimously to recommend to the Board of Directors of the Inde¬ pendent Schools Association of the Central States that LaLumiere School be fully accredited by the As¬ sociation. And now the School points its efforts to¬ ward the next evaluation. Ray Boring 129 HEND MkSTER JAMES R. MOORE 1 ■ iiilW iT j r ' S ’ ■ 1 3 130 132 133 MICHAEL N.

Looking at these people now, I look back on what they’ve done throughout the year . . . and without much thanks. From the switchboard to the kitchen; from Sunday through Sunday: from maintenance to cooking; these are the people who take care of us, whether we realize it or not. With¬ out the phone, or the food, or the mail ... I think we would be lost. Standing with plate in hand around 7:23 in the morning, trying desperately to wake up, it was always nice to receive a smile and a “good morning” from the kitcheri staff. Getting a quick permission on Friday, it was always comforting to know that the phone arrangements could be taken care of quickly and easily by the switchboard lady. And now I think every last one of the staff deserves our thanks . . . and more.

Batesville, Indiana 159 A Statement of Philosophy Prepared by the Headmaster and Steering Committee of LaLumiere School for Boys, Inc. In America we have pinned our hopes on education to provide honest and capable men of leadership for this Democracy. This is the challenge which prompted a group of Catholic laymen to found LaLumiere School for Boys, Inc. in 1963. In the tradition of the finest independent secondary schools In America, LaLumiere aims to provide quality education second to nc|ie for each boy vs ho attends. While open to all boys regardless of race ' , color, creed, or financial statu aLumiere selects boys who plan to pursue a full college preparatory curriculum. The school’s founders believe that education and faith should walk hand in hand to produce character as well as sound scholarship; at the same time, its purpose is not simply to find gifted boys, but rather to help boys discover their gifts. LaLumiere’s aim is toward the cultural and away from the vocational; it also believes that what distin¬ guishes one person from the other is the strength of his character, the breadth and scope of his mind, his tolerance and sympathy, and his qualities of leadership. Estab¬ lished as a light in the educational world, its learning methods seek tArovide not merely a means of livlihood but a mastery of life. | LaLumiere believes- the three most basic factors in shaping a boy’s life are his family, his school, and his church, that its goal is to so assist each boy that he may become a man of character, scholarship, and faith. The necessity for LaLumiere resides in its sense of the contemporary. Its recognition of the real needs of each generation seeking enlightenment. Since today young people genuinely search for individuality, freedom, relevancy, LaLumiere must assist them to these goals, providing opportunities to seek a valid individuality, a responsible freedom, and relevancy made meaningful by a sense of the past. The thinking man is the only person able to cope with society, and LaLumiere hopes to develop young men eager and capable of dealing with the challenge of America. 160 jiiiT ’- '
