Life at La Porte High School in 1973 was a product of a reoction between element . Eoch element lay sleeping . . wait- ing to be molded, guided, enriched. Then in blending, the latent trait of each element were extracted and developed to form LPHS 1973. The first element wa La Porte High School. Eoch facility of the school pos- sessed dormant qualities. A map of Mexico, on oven, or a new trampoline sat in rest. Closed books, unsharpened pencils, unused chairs — images of a building that slept. The second element was the student body. Each mind that entered LPHS also pos- sessed dormant qualities. For some, it was the beginning of a three-year exploration; for others, the end wos only 284 days away. On August 28. 1972, a growing voice, a developing athlete, a maturing intellect entered element one and the reoction began. Two imoges, a building and a person, both latent with a variety of strengths and talents, were about to form LPHS 1973. 3 . . .rei wddentalents The 1972-1973 school year was unique, different from any other in many ways. New students, under chonging school policy, odded their own flare and flavor to the his- tory of La Porte High School. Policy changes were numerous. After- noon study holls seemed empty, as Seniors received the privilege to legally cut dass. Warm weather and fresh air lured restless students from the cafeterias to the front entrance during lunch. The first February break refreshed everyone, while Sectional break did not materialize. What did moteriolize was o flurry of activities that developed the interests and talents of the student body. We won and lost the Bell, and then asked that Bell competition be extended to baseball. The school service clubs. Boys' Service Club and Girl Reserves, aided the community in varied ways — raking leaves, collecting for the March of Dimes, preparing for the dedication of the hospital. Trock practice, play rehearsals, and term papers exhausted many busy students. The person who entered LPHS in August left as a different individual in June, as the experience and maturity gained by par- ticipation in and out of school helped pre- pare them for the responsibilities of the ever-approaching odult world. 4 OAGSES WZCMDB. STUDENTS During school hours many comments floated into the hallways from mathematics classes: Hence, the ordinate of the point on L with abcissa 3.1416 is 0.49707 + 0.00008 - 0.49715. From French classes this was a familiar phrase: S'il vous plait, dessine-moi un moutonl English classes, too, had their own jargon: Use oppositives as one means of subordinating explanatory materials, as did classes in U.S. History: La Folette woged a long and bitter fight against corrupt businessmen and their political allies. In Art was heard: After you get that sprued, de-bubbleize and then we'll invest and bum out. Electronics provided this type of language: With unity coupling between the primory ond secondary, the voltoge induced in the secondary will be in direct proportion to the turns rotio. Many a closs hod a jargon which was incomprehensible to those who hodn't studied the subject. Some of the quotes given were hazy in meaning, were latent images until learning mode them familiar to us — they were developed. This was a part of our edu- cation in 1972-1973 — new learning de- veloped our latent images. 6 Staring I ft, doc wit A patriotic and loyal moth ttvd nt workt out o problem on a g om try Itit.

La Porteons traveled to France, Germony, Brazil, and even behind the Iron Curtain to a Polish wedding. Morgie Nurse, 1970 AFS student from Barbodos, returned at Christmas time for the snow, which she got. International experiences proved to be maturing, eye-opening forces in 1973. In La Porte life began just as classes ended with Special Announcements at 2:55. The bell brought on a multitude of activities — rushing home to Gtlligan'� bland and The Muastan, running around the block in conditioning for swim team, singing and dancing The Boy Friand. Christmas was the Godspail assembly and the G. R. Outside the halls of LPHS, students entered adult life. The Job kept some busy, and seeking The Job kept others occupied. The New Life was bom in La Porte, providing a place for relaxation, conversation, and coming to know Christ. In the fall, McGovern and Nixon took the time and energy s,'r 10 OUSfDk UF£ OUIOVG.

The win marked the sixth straight win over the Slicers and also meant o Northern Indiana Conference victory for Washington, giving them a shore of the NIC crown. Trying to promote spirit, the cheer- leaders introduced a new touch to Homecoming festivities for 1972, Spirit Week. Eoch class was assigned areas within the school in which they could display posters, signs, ond messages to the players. For eoch new day of the week there was also a different theme to follow from which the students could display their spirit. Among these were decorated ties, signs, ond socks carrying chonts of Go Slicers Go , Beof Washington and Senior Power. Friday, October 28, the fons ond the Mighty Slicers were ready to foce S. B. Wash- ington with hopes of o victory. At 7:30 the gome began and the Slicers realized that their task was a difficult one. With 2:58 left in the first quarter S. B. Washington hod taken the lead with a 7-0 score. At half time the score was 14-0 producing o score that the Slicers could never over- come. The beginning of the third quorter saw another touchdown for S. B. Washington giving them a 21 point lead over the Slicers. This score remained the some for the rest of the game, making the final score 21-0. Homecoming '72' left the fons with hopes of o brighter 1973. 13 AS THE BWFIRE BURNED THE RAINS FEU. Mony hours of planning and work were required in preparing for the Homecoming festivities. Each organization wishing to enter a girl in the queen contest was required to build a float. In 1972, clubs began collecting ideos for their floats three to four weeks prior to the celebration. Students ond teachers alike gathered in garages, barns, and community buildings to construct what they hoped would be prize winning entries. Student Council awarded a twenty-five dollar prize for the most unique ond best constructed float. Art Club received the money for their float which carried out the theme of Paw Those Panthers with on animated dizzy panther being pawed by a giant Sheer swinging a water dipper. Boys Service Club captured second ploce while Girl Reserves received third. The floats taking part in the pre-game parade followed a route from Lincoln School to Lincolnway ond then on to the high school. Dunng half-time activities fifteen girls were escorted to the field by members of Boys Service Club. The prospective queens all waited anxiously for the announcement of the new 1972 Homecoming Queen. Randi Chalik was named queen as Peggy Small was first runner-up and Julie Fischer was second runner-up. Randi received a bouquet of long-stemmed red roses as all the hoppy rain-soaked girls were presented mums by Jeff Arndt, Student Council President.

Casting the play initiated this job, as those people chosen were given their specific duties. Mr. James Lampl with the choreographer, Mrs. Deborah Hardin, and the student director Beth Snyder, then started the cast down the long rood of making the 20's come alive through dance, dialogue, and movement. The musical sounds of the 20's were brought to life by Mr. Foreman's Bearcats (alios LPHS Pit Orchestra) and by Mr. Burk's vocal direction. The stoge crew's task of visually creating the 1920's was largely aided by the use of backdrops, yet, they hod the difficult tasks of light- ing, finding or construction of furniture, taking core of the numerous costumes, de- signing ond applying make-up, and locating or making the actors' props. Finally after eight weeks of hard work, the play was ready to go on. The mounting tension ond excite- ment was released as almost 1200 people watched the players present their zany musical. 17 Forty Carats, the 1973 spring play, sparkled in every facet of the production. Senior Steve Rowley acted as director, while the realistic ond colorful revolving sets were the work of set designer Mr. Robert Rhodes, a newcomer to LPHS drama. This sophisticated tale of a middle-aged woman's offair with a boy of twenty was chosen for its con- temporary comedy. It was received enthusiastically by its audiences and reviewer, the Herald-Argus. Student crew members worked long, hard hours to construct the set, pre- pare the costumes and make-up, and reody the sound ond light systems.

Unlike in previous years, sophomores were allowed to attend if they were guests of upper- classmen or women as one hundred students were needed to keep this annual dinner from terminating. In the basement of the Oriental Restaurant, a buffet dinner consisted of shaved ham, beef, relishes, and numerous salads. After this meal the senior doss officers mode a presentation of gifts to senior class sponsors, Mr. John Cornell, and Mrs. Joyce Koselke and also to senior coun- selors, Mrs. Sylvia Embree and Mr. Robert Horst. These extravogant tokens of appre- ciation ranged from a set of golf clubs to a power saw. Students then danced to the music of the Buxton Oar. Besides the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, senior class sponsors and officers also initiated a Senior Class Field Day to raise money for a gift to the school. Any stu- dent was able to buy a booklet containing both entry ticket and game tickets for the event. Students were permitted to flee their fifth and sixth hour classes to join in games such as the greased pig contest, a tricycle roce, egg toss, water bag fight, gunny sock roce, and a blanket race. The highlight of this fun day occurred when principal Mr. Jack Hyde, Mr. John Cornell and Mr. Joe Van Mol showed their good sportsmanship by being the target for the Bozo dunk tank. Besides per- mitting students to depart from the usual monotony of a beautiful Friday afternoon, the senior class was able to make a profit of approximately $500.

Their names were submitted to the baseball, golf and track teams who selected the finol ten candidates. The student body mode the final vote and on May 22, 1973 ot the LaPorte Invitational Track Meet, the Spring Sports Queen was announced. Phil Oroege presented the 1973 Queen, Peggy Small, with a bouquet of roses. The runners-up were Kathy Robin- son, Kothy Barden, Jody Crites and Randi Chalik. Three days later the 1973 El-Pe Queen was announced ot the Senior Field Day. Prior to this, the girls had their pictures taken in formal gowns. Then it was up to the Patricia Stevens School of Detroit, the Fine Art College of Fashion in Miomi and the Fashion Academy of Pittsburgh to judge who should be queen. Each girl was judged on her beauty and poise. Beth Bouer was named 1973 El-Pe Queen with runners-up: first, Megan Backus,- second, Nancy Blank and Bobbi Grey; and third, Kathy Robinson. 22 23 i Storting right, dockwif: Mr. Robert Rhode� , Mory Ettlmg, So Boyd, ond Ooodto Picket preporn 0� the onruth of thirtly promgoert.

Under the leadership and direction of Lowell Barker, Keith Piper, Jane Droege, and Beth Whitted, students were encouraged to prepare carefully. With their constont drive and enthusiasm, four hundred stors were foiled and hung, magnolia blossoms were created, and other seemingly endless tasks were performed. Impossible as it seemed, by Tuesday when the crepe paper depicting walls of ivy was hung, the Southern garden began to look more and more realistic and the downstoirs was converted into a formal dining room with paneled wolls, chandeliers, a fire place, and long draping curtains. Juniors also encountered the problems of painting white over the predominately black Swing Choir backdrops, stringing stors too low, and centering the mansion's roof — they survived. After the completion of the Southern mansion backdrop late Friday afternoon. Juniors anxiously owaited the arrival of their peers to see how successful they had been in creating A Taste of Southern Romance. AND NEITHER, WAQ THE- FRO U 25 26 On Friday, May 18, approximately two hundred couples drifted by starlight through a southern garden consisting of ivy-covered walls, magnolia blossoms, and Spanish moss. The auditorium stage, with its large white columns, represented the front of the mansion while the two entrances were flanked by large, flower-covered trellises. Other highlights included a wishing well scene and a formal dining room, which were both located in the basement of the Civic. The Proud Flesh provided the entertainment and when the couples tired of dancing, they travelled downstairs where several sophomores served them punch and cookies. At 10:30 p.m. junior class president Chip Jones presented Mr. Lowell Barker and Mr. Keith Piper with gifts in appreciation for all of their guidance and hard work throughout the year. After this acknowledge- ment, queen candidates anxiously awaited the student body's decision. Chip then placed a crown on Bobbi Grey's head, and presented her with a bouquet of roses. She and her escort, Ray Hammons, then stepped on to the dance floor for the traditional spotlight dance. At midnight, the promgoers were driven to the La Porte Theater where they saw the film. Frenzy. Upon their return, the couples were served a buffet dinner catered by Keims, lifted their chairs for door prizes, and danced through the early morning hours with music provided by The Americans, o group from Indianapolis.

Charles Ross of the La Porte Presbyterian church asked the 1973 students graduating to make a joyful noise in his sermon. Several members of the graduating class olso joined the LPHS A Cappella choir in two numbers, Almighty Father, and Exodus Song, both directed by Mr. Eddie Burke. This religious service not only gave the graduating class guidance for the future but also gave them a small toste of what else wos in store — Commencement. Commencement revealed a feeling of mixed emotions for most of the five hundred and one groduotes from the class of '73. Although on Friday, May 31, screams of joy sounded through the halls, papers billowed off the senior roil, and students realized that there were no more finals to take, most of these ecstatic students became solemn when it come time for the final tie to be broken. This in the form of Graduation. Tom Osborn, a 1945 graduate of La Porte High School, who is now circulation ad- ministration manager for the Chicago Tribune and Chicogo Today newspapers, was the commencement speaker. Throughout his speech he urged the graduates to measure their success in terms of what makes them happy and to set goals to fit their own personal standards. He stressed that individual decisions ore vital and added that even when they are unsure of their goals they should continue to work, stating, you have to find your own priorities. His only word of caution was that these graduates may not find exactly what they are looking for or might fail but he stressed that if you blow it, pick yourself up and try again.

The Board of School Trustees presented the diplomas as high school principal Jock Hyde and assistant principal Arlo Westphal read the graduates' names.

Although there had been many bod or unfavorable situations such as term papers, finals, or the unchanging lunches in the school cafeteria, they then realized that they would never again hover over senior roil, attend pep sessions, or loudly yell seniors during the course of the school song. As “Pomp and Circumstance was played, former students of LPHS marched out of Kiwonis much more aware and mature thon they hod entered as sophomores. 30 INODE LIFE tNCtUG- LJFE INODk UFF INOD UFB IVODG UFE ffJSfDt UFE fPJSfDEUFt fN£ICE UFD INODE LIFE INODE LIFE 31 Storting right, ctocfcwttei Inferetted m«mb� n of the community or9 atwoyi welcome to obverve iKe School Board.

The yeor 1973 more than ever attracted the public to these meetings. This was attributed to the in- formation given through the media of rodio, the Herold-Argus, and the P.T.A. During the year, the School Board was responsible for instigation and the dis- cussion of many projects. Among these were the phase elective program in English, more appropriated funds for special education, building projects dealing with Kesling Jr. High, Riley, and Critchfield schools, and looking into the needs of the high school. The biggest controversy the board hod discussed wos the budget. Since they operate under a state limitation on the tox rate for the general fund, it had been ex- tremely difficult to keep all of the present services available and still stay under the state limitation. Although it is against the low for any teachers to be on the School Board, two students, Peggy Smoll and Jeff Arndt, served on the Priorities Committee, which is responsible to the board. The year of 1972-73 also morked the first yeor of Mr. Robert Miller's job as superintendent. When asked what wos the most difficult task during this yeor he stated, There was no one thing except trying to deal with a large corporation as this. Any problems dealing with the students' needs remained to be controlled by the School Board. Starting abort, dotkwnt Two drffxMit aiptch of Mt.

It required long hours ond much responsi- bility. The principol of a high school must possess quolities of professional ond civic leadership. His responsibility to LPHS wos the supervision of instruction. Mr. Hyde mode periodic checks of the quality of instruction given of LPHS. He odministered LPHS occording to its indi- vidual needs and coordinated it with the general philosophy ond policy of the general administration. Another responsi- bility of Mr. Hyde wos the discipline of the school. Mr. Arlo Westphol ond Mr. Bill Hannah assisted Mr. Hyde in his numerous respon- sibilities as assistant principals of LPHS. In the absence of Mr. Hyde, Mr. Westphal and Mr. Hannah served os prin- cipals of LPHS. Not only did Mr. Hannah take core of disciplinary problems, as many well remember, but he odministered General Education Development Tests which were high school equivalency tests. Mr. Westphol olso was in charge of disciplin- ary problems, and organized Adult Educa- tion classes. They olso assisted Mr. Hyde in filling out special reports, such as the periodic check made relative to the quality of education given of LPHS. Without the assistance given at LPHS by Mr. Hyde, Mr. Honnah ond Mr. Westphol, La Porte High School could not have been the exciting year it wos in 1972-731 35 X • • x v GUIDANCE IS UMU UHED ATTWE UBLPtNGPtACB Apologies weren't necessory when inter- rupting one's counselor because his job was to guide the students academically and assist in preparing them to face the chal- lenges of life intelligently and responsi- bly. Mr. Horst said of his job, I fry to be an information center for whatever the student needs. The student-counselor interview involved overall discussion of the goals and plans for the future. Counselors helped juniors in preparing for college by arranging the PSAT testing dote for October 24, 1972 and the SAT, Morch 3, 1972. Mrs. Winebrenner spent the evening of September 25, 1972 speaking to juniors and their parents about college costs. A question ond answer session followed to assure general understanding. In their first meeting with their coun- selor, sophomores were aided in securing their majors ond minors. Some obtained offer school jobs which hove produced effi- cient working staffs in many stores in town. College applications and aid forms required attention by the seniors. Half day job troining programs were available for those not planning to attend college. The patience, cooperation and knowledge of the counselors were combined to produce the best in well-rounded young adults.

Students and faculty alike appreciated their work to some extent. Answering phones, composing absence lists, and helping counselors were the main jobs of the LPHS personnel in the counselor's office. When asked how her day went, Mrs. Cook replied, Answering the phone might not seem like very much to do but it's tiring. The personnel in the administrator's office took care of school finances, the switchboard and secretarial work. Their skills and past experiences kept the secretarial aspect of the school running. Preparing and serving meals in addition to cleaning up after every lunch hour kept the cooks more than busy. They storted preparing the jello molds and salad dressing before school was in session, and ended by finishing the dishes after school hours. Our janitors opened jammed lockers and picked up forgotten papers but also hod more important duties. They scoured LPHS and kept the outside after school looking neat. Mr. Don Slater, a new janitor, described his reactions to the students, They haven't changed much since I was here, except the length of their hair is longer.” Mrs. Good, bookstore manoger, took core of school supplies, El Pe Slicer T-shirts, and play tickets. Selling activity tickets and duplicating assignments and other popers for LPHS teachers occupied her time as well. Our school nurse, Mrs. Rockham, tended the medical deportment of LPHS. Students and faculty needed Mrs. Goad and Mrs. Rackham as well as the others of the non- teaching stoff. 39 Starting right, cfodtwise- Mark 6ock r concentrate� on hi defeotive monuevert. 1973 libfory Club Officer or : Pot Stondefer, treasurer,- Poul 0 Poy, v ce- prttKbnl, Tom Kowakiyk. secretory; and Barb Protlj president Jody Fiihef and other IPHS-ert wad for Pool D Poy ond Mr .

Mr. David Cooper sponsored the thirty members and taught the important rules of the gome. The president was Reggie White ond the secretary-treasurer was Randy Roth. Every Tuesday after school at 3:00 p.m., Chess Club members met in the library to test their chess-playing skills on one another. At the beginning of 1972- 1973, Chess Club practiced for the tournament which was held from January through Morch. While Chess Club was practicing for the tournament. Library Club was building a Root for the Homecoming Parode. The major money-moking project of library Club was selling basketball concessions. A Christmas decorating party showed the spirit of the librory Club members. On January 22, 1973, the club held another porty to help out the librarians. The sponsor of the 16-member Library Club was Mrs. Virginia Cooper. The library workers' annual exchange porty with those of Michigan City Elston was held at the end of 1973 for the forty-second consecutive yeor. Librory Club planned o Senior picnic for the end of the yeor. The Senior Class of 1972 had donated o copying mochine to the librory which was utilized by the students for ten cents a copy. Boys' Service Club helped provide the librory with a two-reader microfiche holding twelve periodicals. 41 Eugene Gierke tat.

In Mr. James Eppert's dosses, the students experimented with the media while Mrs. Joanne Shepard taught a speed reading course that was newly intro- duced this year. The department also passed a phase electives program in which courses ranging from Shakespearian Drama to Modern Film Moking will be offered in the 1973 school year. Throughout the year. Dr. Shannon Reffett and Mrs. Jean Burns sponsored many activities for their senior English stu- dents. Among these were a trip to Valpar- aiso University to see Shakespeare's play, The Twelfth Night, and The School for Scandal, at Western Michigan University. Plons were also made to see the opero La Boheme,” in Chicago, but tickets could not be obtained. Besides being involved with these ac- tivities, Mr. Reffett received his Ph.D. this year. His subject was 20th Century Amer- ican Fiction, for which a 300-page disser- tation was written on Theodore Dreiser, an American outhor. For the second consecutive year. The National Shakespeare Company gave a perfor- mance at LPHS. The afternoon performance was given before a full house while the evening show was presented before an oudi- ence of 250. Reactions to the ploy varied greatly. Many students who had seen A Mid- summer Night's Dream were disappointed by the actors' inability to deliver a straight line. The modern addition to an already good play such os references to sex, vul- garity, and bikinis also detracted from the overall effect of the ploy. However, in the first act the octors were arrayed in cos- tumes of appropriate taste and the set design was very creative and original. Many students also felt that the role of Oberon was performed convincingly and with dignity.

The major activity of this club was contest speech; Debate, Original Oratory, Dramatic and Humorous Interpretation, Extemporaneous Speaking, and Impromptu Speaking. LPHS speakers brought honors and awards bock to La Porte, one of these was winning a fourth place sweepstakes award at Highlond High School on January 27, 1973. Another Speaker's Bureau function was the produc- tion of the WLOI Student Forum. This radio panel discussion was oired on Sunday afternoons at 1 -.55 P.M. and covered a wide variety of current topics. Money wos raised to sponsor these two programs through ice cream sales and a fish fry in the spring. Many LPHS speakers, along with many dramatic students, were chosen to be members of Tou Sigma Chi. This honorary club spon- sored the two school plays. The Boyfriend, in the foil, and Forty Carats in the spring. Club members also participated in Homecoming festivities. Tau Sigma Chi was led in 1973 by Steve Rowley, president; Megan Backus, vice-president; Kathy Amos, secretary; and Beth Snyder, treasurer.

Most students fulfilled this obligation with combinations of Introductory Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry, while some students continued with Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry, College Algebra, Statistics, or Calculus. For the first time students interested in Industrial Arts were offered a Math course designed specifically for them. Shop Moth. This course was designed to give the students a practical background in the math that is used in the shop, be it the mochine shop, the electrical shop, or the building trades. Students who took the course worked in coordination with the other Industrial Arts courses in solving math problems found in the shop.

The demand for further development in science gave rise to two changes in 1973: the beginning of the Life Science course, and the changing of Physiology from a one semester course to a two semester course. Life Science was instituted to give the beginning science student a bosic under- standing of the rules that govern life. A relaxation of the traditional lecture format of science classes and the use of relevant experiences such as the spring field trip to Kingsbury Pish and Game Pre- serve, created a learning atmosphere for the students. Through the change in Physi- ology, students were alloted more time for in-depth study of it. Specifically they learned background material needed for the unusual experiments performed in this class. Experiments used in this class included blood analysis, urinalysis, and the dis- section of a fetal pig. Experimentation was not exclusive to Physiology; Physics ond Chemistry were both based upon experimentation; and Biology used experiments to reinforce theories presented in class. Classes such as Animal Husbandry and Crop Production strove to present the practical agricultural application of modern science. Development, of Scientific theory ... of scientific knowledge . . . and of people's interest in science all took place in LPHS science classes during the school year 1972-1973. IMfERESr IN SCIENCE.

Tel- evision shows such as ‘'Chariot of the Gods, Population and some National Geographies were taped for Geography, International Re- lations and Sociology classes. These pro- grams made current knowledge available and allowed students a more interesting level of learning. Government classes utilized the recorder os they taped speeches of both Dem- ocratic and Republican candidates for the offices of governor and congressman. For a few weeks many government students took the identity of a pusher, addict or narcot- ic agent. Arrests were made by the norcs and the accused pushers stood trial. Jeff Arndt, Bob Snyder, Lisa Rucker Kathy Amos and Ketro Gierke were five sen- iors who participated in the annual Purdue Legislative Assembly. This practice legis- lature gave the students the opportunity to see the procedure of American government. Sociology students were taught by Mr. Klimczak and Mr. Tonsoni; each with his own approach. In one class of Mr. Tonsoni's a blackboard wos set aside to allow students to record their feelings of life. The other wos concerned with the student's opinions on dating, marriage and divorce. Psychology students spent many interesting moments in Mr. Tornow's class. They leorned about their own personalities and read informative books such as In Search of Self and The Art of Loving. A.

Officers of the local chapter were Megan Backus, President; Peter Shannon, Vice President; Debbie Read; Treasurer; and Lorraine laskowski. Sec- retary. During the summer of '72, members sold ods for football programs. These pro- grams were then sold for ten cents eoch at oil home football games by NHS members. The Club also sold concessions at a home basketball game. Although these were the only money-making projects by National Honor Society, the club earned $1,000.00 in 1973. Thus, five $200.00 scholarships were given to both new and old members who were chosen the most deserving by a student panel according to the applications which they hod filled out. The five recip- ients were Debbie, Kathy Amos, Ed Bechinski, Pam Slevin, and Peter Shannon. The winner of another club-sponsored scholarship was Annette Salobura, who received an FEA award of $100.00. The main octivity of the Future Educators of Amenca was a trip to the Square Deal potato farm where they entertained the migrant workers' children. On May 8, on open house was held by old members to encourage out-going freshmen to take part in FEA in their high school coreers-to-be. Officers were Marsha Krishock, President; Michele Sock, Vice President; Alice Szawica, Secretary; and Soroh White, Treasurer. 3 Moroo McK «v« G«rlt' Phy� Ed.

Students acquired knowledge in the areas of mental health, drug addiction, and the rehabilitation of alcoholics. Physical education deals not only with the minds of students but with their bodies also. Gym classes were kept busy throughout the year with football, basket- ball, field hockey and gymnastics. With the addition of a new trampoline, both the boys' ond girls' programs were broadened to include extensive instruction on the skillful use of the trampoline. A new balance beam was also purchased for use in the gymnostics portion of the physical education program. Another aspect of physical fitness is the ski program, headed by Mrs. McKeever. The Ski Club wos to meet every Wednesday night of Ski Volley where members re- ceived o discount on ski equipment ond tow tickets. 1972-73's Ski Club met only a minimal number of times due to a lock of snow ond cold weather. Mrs. Betty Rackham, sponsor of the Health Careers Club, offered all high school students the chonce to experiment in any field of medicine. Health Careers raised money through their apple sales ond boke sales for a scholarship that wos given to Betty Pate. 55 Spanish and German Clubs fried to acquaint LPHS students with the different sociol customs associated with Spain and Germany. Both clubs were involved in numerous money raising projects in order to attain their goals. German Club's many activities stemmed from these facts. On November 10 German students traveled to Lane Tech High School to view the German Play Die Bruecke. Throughout the year German Club's many parties transplanted Germon culture to La Porte. Again in 1973, German Club planned to send a student to Germany. Because of this, club members could be seen working concessions, sponsoring a dance, and selling candles, cookbooks, and ice cream. Spanish Club also transplanted a culture; each of its parties and meetings strove to present some facet of Spanish culture. The exchange students Yelitza Hernandez and Lucero Tenorio helped the club by presenting talks about the Spanish- speaking culture in their countries. A trip to Mexico planned for Spring Vacation prompted many money-raising projects. Spanish Club'ers worked concessions and sponsored bake sales. Approximately $200.00 was raised through oatmeal and waffle tastings. A car wosh and a slave sale were also planned. SPANISH AND GERMAN CLUBS Starting below, ckxkwne.

Many different activities aided French students in their pursuit of this objective. On Nov. 5, French Club members travelled to see Beaumarchais' Le Barbier de Seville. Later French V students produced the play for their classmates and published a French newspoper, les Temps Bos ( The Low-Times ). The major project of the 1973 French Club was the trip to New Orleans over spring vocation. In order to raise enough money for this project French Club'ers worked concessions of football games and even sold French crepes in the lunch room. The LPHS Latin Club sought to preserve ancient Roman social customs. Various parties, in which the Roman slave ond master society was re-created, exposed LPHS students to Latin society, ond even Latin Club initiation wos a reminder of Rome's slave system. 59 60 RT AND ART CLUB ATTEMPT N0A PT QJEOS Art classes attempted mony different types of projects during the 1972-73 school year. Some of these assignments included mocrame, with or without pottery, silversmithing, outdoor scenery, and abstract art. Art history, taught by Mr. Robert Rhodes, odded background to the advanced art classes. Some of the art students entered Robertson's Arf Concert in South Bend in late winter. LPHS'ers and their entries, which included paintings, sculptures, graphic designs, drawings, pottery, and photographs, competed with the projects from other schools in Northern Indiana. Other projects sponsored by the Art Club were the plaque that Major Dennis Smith presented to Provost William Ure of Grangemouth, Scotland, the Sadie Hawkin's Donee in November, and the Buxton Oar concert in Februory. The art students produced paintings throughout the school and their other assignments kept them busy. Art Club members occupied their time creating another first place float for Homecoming, sponsoring various musical affairs, and working on projects in the la Porte community. 61 62 On February 15, 1972, the IPHS orchestra performed a variety of music in concert. The program contained such songs os Jesus Christ Superstar, Elegy and a violin concerto. The head of the music de- portment, Mr. Foreman was very impressed when Christy Bell on the violin, Mary Tomal on the cello, ond Carol Surma on the piano received a perfect score in the Northern Indiana Ensemble Contest. All students involved in some field of music sold music booster tickets to raise money. A candy sale in the spring gave them an added amount of money to work with. Tri-M, Modern Music Masters, was composed of the music oriented students. Eoch member was outstanding in his field whether it was orchestra, choir, or band. Officers for the 1972-73 school year were: President, Gary Berndt; Vice-President, Mary Tomal; Secretory, Patty Whitten; and Treasurer, Tammy Boston. 63 64 La Porte High School Marching Band storied the 1972-1973 school year by performing during the Slicer football half-times. These bond members, under the direction of Mr. Guy Foreman, hod approximately two weeks in which to learn formations before a half time show. Some of the band's selections were performed in half-time titles such as The Nashville Sounds and The Bands Ployed On. When games were only a week apart a field concert was performed since ample time was not available for the band to prepare a full program. Four weeks after the football season ended in La Porte, the band performed, in concert, at the LPHS Auditorium. Before the concert excitement, nervousness and concern circulated around the band members, Mr. Foreman, and Mr. Bunning. Mr. Robert Bunning, assistant director of concert band and the new director of the Stage Band, encouraged a voluntary enrollment in Stage Band. This enabled the formation of on enthusiastic and talented group. The Stoge Band, along with the Vandercook College Jazz Band presented an outstanding concert on April 12. When the bosketball season rolled into view the basketball band appeared in the stands. It added to the Slicer fans' spirit, which rose and fell with the various scores. Mr. Foreman selected its members from among the most capable of the concert band members. The bands played on throughout the school year 1972-73. At football games, basketball games, concerts, or assemblies, LPHS bands were on hand to boost morale and entertain. Guy Foreman Dept Heod Orchestra Mormon Rand Robert Sunning Men'� G e Rond 65 66 Room 142 wos ‘‘home for students involved in Kantro Kays, Mixed Chorus, and Girls' Glee. All those choirs performed individually in the Winter Concert and the Spring Concert, and the members took part in the Five City Choral Festival at Penn High School on March 22, 1973. Kontra Kays, a select girls' choir, was chosen by Mr. Burk in March 1972. At the Winter Concert the choirs performed If We Only Have Love” in memory of Debbie Stegall, a Kantra Kay member, who died eorlier in 1972. Songs ranging from For Unto Us a Child Is Born from Handel's AAessiah to I’ve Got To Be Me were sung by the 1973 Mixed Chorus. This group wos mode up by sophomores recommended by the junior high music teochers and met two or three times a week. Gris' Glee Club was open to all girls interested in singing and hod time available. While consisting mainly of soph- omores, juniors and seniors used this opportunity to utilize their vocal talent. New to LPHS in 1973 was the Men's Chorus under the direction of Mr. Robert Banning. This group, another open member- ship, sang everything from Barbershop to all male arrangements of modern pop numbers. This group performed in the Easter assemblies and at community organiza- tions' meetings. LPUC CWORJUCES OUT Versatility was the key word for the 1973 A Cappella and Swing Choirs. In 1973 the A Cappella Choir was required to per- form in both the traditional robed fashion and as on informal choir. The informal format was used for the presentations of selections from Godtpell at the Christmos assembly. Another break with tradition was the use of the quartet arrangement to perform A Cappella pieces. The repertoire for the choir ranged from modern rock, such as Codspell to Classical and Romantic ero. A Classical piece, Handel’s “For Unto Us a Child Is Born was performed with the Mixed Chorus at the Spring Concert. Versatility has practically become a must with Swing Choir and the 1973 Swing was no exception. This choir performed in dining halls, in gymnasiums, ond, of course, in the LPHS auditorium. They performed songs that touch on every focel of American pop music with a concentration on the most contemporary numbers. “Swing Is . . . ' the Swing Choir Show which was presented May 11 and 12 proved this versatility. Swing performed in a traditional choir formation, in a re- hearsal situation, and as a choreographed group. The concert included the songs of Corly Simon and Three Dog Night, with solo and duet performances scattered throughout the show. A piano duet by Patti Whitten and Dan Surma, The Apartment highlighted the evening.

These courses were open to the entire student body. Cooking became a very popular course; it not only interested the future homemakers, but also the male gourmets. Home Economics courses offered at LPHS included cooking, clothing, house management, ond home nursing. The Home Economics Department also incorporated a new feature; if introduced a consumer education course. The classes had use of files containing information concerning consumer defense, false advertisement, film strips, and articles on consumer management. Mr. John Helsley from Whirlpool lectured the Home Economics teachers on the manufacturer's response to consumer education. Also, the department was informed by Mrs. Lilyon M. Goossens of the Food and Drug Administration, about foods and toys which hod been taken off the morket. In the clothing classes, first year students were permitted to begin with any sewing project within their ability. Advanced sewing classes were allowed to make such items os: men's clothing, lingerie, embroidering, quilting, curtains ond drapes. The main activity of the clothing classes was the Spring Style Show, in which sewing students modeled the clothing which they had mode during the year. Parents and relatives were the guests, ond refreshments were served following the show. An extremely valuable course in Home Economics was Home Nursing. Students learned to observe and report symptoms of a disease. As each student completed this one semester course they were awarded a Red Cross certificate in Home Care of the Sick. Also, child care is a part of this course, and the classes reod and evaluated material on up-to-date methods of child care. House management classes analyzed the conservation of time and energy in the performance of household tasks. Students looked into the improvement of fomily relationships in addition to the financial management of a home. Participation in the Home Economics programs prepared students to become well-rounded individuals in the Homemaking field. 71 Jo D on Yamo Clothing I OFHCE MACWNES COMPLEMENTS BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Typing, shorthand, stenography, and bookkeeping courses had no major changes in 1972, but they paved a smoother way for those students interested in a business pro- fession. Men and women alike participated in such classes. Equipment ranging from modern type- writers to adding machines and calculators found its way into the new Office Machines doss. This course wos o new addition to the Commercial Arts Department. It gave the students a chance to use the most modern office machinery. Office Mochines wos a one-semester course for juniors and seniors with a requirement of one year of typing.

These skills ranged from drawing detailed layouts for building construc- tions to gaining on understanding of machin- ery ond electricity. A new welding program wos initiated during the 1972-73 school year, widening the scope of the deportment. A desire for new equipment sent industrial art students out into the community on a paper drive, selling Zip Code booklets, and a chili dinner. The number of girls en- rolling in the dosses increased, showing the wide spreod interest in the courses. The Industrial Cooperative Training Progrom allowed students to venture out in- fo the community. It was directed toward the student who did not plan to go to col- lege and wished to begin work in the trade of his choice. The 51 students involved in the program had a banquet in the spring. They raised money for the banquet by hav- ing bake sales and by selling soap. At the corner of 18th ond Hillcrest Street the Building Trades Progrom con- structed a house. Students were on the job from noon till three o'clock on school days. The developement of skills while planning for the future proved Industrial Arts to be a valuable department. tone Rood Drafting Shop Mai Printing Darrafl Chapman ICT Deportment Hood Ron Clindomot Drafting Power Joe So Imo� Power Building Trod � 73 NSmMSUl 76 Starting above, dockwifi A port of hi job, Tim Fronceuhana often doe� reteorch in the County low library.

The Cooperative Office Education and Distributive Education programs provided an opportunity for students to gain experience in preparation for their careers. These two programs were vocational business education courses for seniors. Students spent 4th hour receiving instruction in classes related to their jobs. The rest of the school day was spent on their jobs. The student worked ot least 15 hours a week in an approved business firm. Students received two credits for the course while earning a beginner’s wage for the job. COE students worked in office jobs while DE students were employed in retail stores. Students were involved in soles throughout the year to earn money for the spring banquet with the employees. COE and DE had bake soles and sold condies and Tupperware. Students were able to gain knowledge of business while gaining experience in their careers in the COE and DE programs. 77 Boys’ Service Club fulfilled its goal of being a service to the community during the 1972-73 school year. A combination of time and man-power helped BSC complete its plans and responsibilities. The Dan Keehn Fund wos the major monetary campaign for the year. Dan Keehn, a IPHS junior, was injured in a tractor accident in August, 1972. BSC earned close to two thousand dollars for this fund. For BSC it wos o year of entertainment. During the second week of school they provided LPHS with on assembly featuring the now sounds of the Spurrlows. The Spurrlows also gave an evening performance. On January 8, BSC’s efforts brought the Chicago Cubs to the Civic Auditorium. The major league baseball team proved their odeptness on the basketball court as they beat o teom of La Porte all-stars 75-70. Most of the projects BSC participated in were of the lesser publicized nature. Monthly they helped with the Red Cross bloodmobile. BSC parked cars at the County Fair and cleaned up after the Crystal Boll. Members also ushered at basketball and football games. They escorted Homecoming Queen candidates and worked for the Morch of Dimes. Overall, BSC hod a busy and fulfilling year for its members and the community. 78 Storting right, clockwise Kofhy Donielson, Peggy Softwosser, ond Som Jones build port� to pot on the onnuol OR Homecoming Float.

Early in October, sophomores were initiated by wearing paper plates around their necks with the letters GR on them. They were also required to wear large bows in their hoir in the same color as the letters on the plate. For the homecoming, the Girl Reserves prepared a float which won third place with lynn Kaminski as their queen candidate. As winter crept closer, club members found themselves busy earning points for the annual Christmas formal dance. They wrapped Beatty boxes, worked on one of the ten dance committees, made decorations, or helped decorate the faculty Christmas tree for those necessory points. The theme for the dance was Twas the Night Before Christmas. Due to bad weather the dance originally to be held on Dec. 16 wos held the next week. Wes Eng- land's band provided the music for the ap- proximately 180 couples. Patty Steen wos named the queen while her court consisted of Sue Myers, Jo Plunkett, Pam Nickell, Ann Petrila, Sara Stassel, Terri Hyde, and Colleen O'Dell. Girl Reserves along with BSC spent 300 dollars which they had collected the year before, and purchased trees to beautify on area around La Porte. Together they also sponsored a party for underprivileged children around Easter. Club members participated in the Morch of Dimes Mother's Morch which wos unsuccess- ful due to the lack of interest and the bad weather. The 1972-73Girl Reserves presented the annual Mother-Daughter Tea which was held in May. Mothers and daughters were entertoined with a showing of fashions from Olga Anderson's. Afterwards, GR members served cake and punch. This was their final project of the year. 81 AFQ BRINGS CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING f A During the 1972-73 school yeor, LPHS was fortunate to have four foreign exchange students. Europe wos represented through Yvette Berfhon of St. Etienne, France, who resided with the Ronald Dale family and Joachim Streifinger of laurenburg, Germany who lived with the Richard Bauer family. Even though Joe had a continual thirst for German beer, more important to him and Yvette were the families, friends, and pets they left behind. Both of them also caught onto the American students' ways quickly. Joe learned, If you don't know how to an- swer a question, smile. During their school year both Joe and Yvette participated in many school and extra curricular activities. The clubs to which Yvette belonged were G.R., French, German, and International. She also participated in Purdue legislature, speech activities, stu- dent council, and was a flower girl for the annual Crystal Ball.

Yelitza Hernandez of Valencio, Venezuela, lived with the Carl Krentz family. Sponsored by Rotary Club, Lucero Tenorio from Colombia adopted the Wayne Johnson family. When asked what they liked the most obout La Porte, both girls agreed that it would have to be the weather, as they hod never seen snow before. Lucero and Yel- itza also mode many friends, learned a great deal of American culture, and enjoyed extro-curriculor activities. Both girls participated in Spanish Club, Pepper Club, and International Club. Chelo had shown more of o preference to sports by participating in intramural basketball, gymnastic team, and having been chosen a Clockstopper. Yelitza hod also joined Girl Reserves. Jeff Arndt represented LPHS in South Americo during the summer of 1972. He spent 10 weeks in Vitoria, Brozil with the Leandro Nader family. Jeff attended everything from a language comp to a wine festival. He stated, It’s funny that in 10 short weeks you can become a close member of the fomily as I did in Brazil. A tea was held at the home of Mr. Jock Ivey, in order for the advisers of AFS to become acquainted with the people interested in this progrom for the summer of 1973. Candidates chosen were Kris Sudrovech ond Teeno Quinn. FAVORITES OF AFS STUDENTS 85 STUDENT COUNCIL AND TNTL OUB The principle duty of Student Council was to achieve matters in school which could not be hondled singularly. The members elected were usually workers but the rest of the student body did not always give them the support they deserved. The Advisory Board was started to help those students who hod nroblems dealing with school or teach- ers. This year the Advisory Board remained for the entire year because their job on the board was not utilized during the first semester. It consisted of: senior, Guy Miller; junior, Diane Yergler; sophomore, Renee Swan; faculty members. Shannon Reffett ond Norman Tonsoni. With the membership of the exchange students, the enthusiasm of International Club was high. Trying to start the 1972- 1973 school year off right, the club spon- sored a get-together so all of LPHS could meet the exchange students. As a money- making project International Club helped to bring the Spurrlows to concert in September. Later in the year they held a Christmas par- ty that consisted of skating, tobogganing, and snowball fights. They saw Godspell at the Studebaker Theater in Chicago. International Club retained reputation as a hard-working club as they supplied goodies for two bake sales and worked concessions at many of the sports events. 86 RETAIN CONTACTS W ClUDENTBOCV Storting left, doekwita: Student Council president Jeff Arndt and secretory Michele Sock review Student Counol business.

As the paper wos turned over to the printing class every Wednesday, Hi-Times reporters began their routine ogain in preparation for the next deadline. Mr. John Shei replaced Mr. Robert Leroy os the new sponsor for Hi- Timet 1972-73. The Hi-Times staff included students chosen in the early spring of their sophomore or junior year. First semester staffers who left the news- paper were: Steve Fox, Features,- Jerry Gustafson, Editorials,- Melissa Kwasny, News Editor; Sue Dillowoy, Typist, leaving places for twelve new staffers the second semester. Hi-Times added many new features. Included were a classified ods section, in which the students could sell, campaign or advertise. Book and record reviews widened the cultural interests of the students. Designed to give insights into various focets of student life was a section called Close-Up. IPHS Bock When was on item which gave students an idea of things happening years ago at IPHS.

AAkhoto $o k, Brondo EHrick ond BobSnydor 90 A� the new school year opened, the returning members of the El Pe staff were foced with the monumentol task of putting together the 1972-73 history book of IPHS. Considering the ever- increasing cost of yearbook publishing, the staff had to have increased funds in order to meet the price. The fund- roising events included the sales of baked goods, T-shirts, ond revenue from the onnual sole of advertising spaces to local merchants, the only means of funding the yearbook. Because there were only six re- turning seniors, the underclosspersons needed to become orientated quickly into the |obs of cropping pictures ond writing copy. Each worker was situoted in the most comfortable spot as it was found. The final settling of positions went thusly: Jeff Arndt, Randy Roth, and Megan Backus handled the positions of Editor-in- Chief, Layout Editor, ond Copy Editor, respectively. The three also worked on the opening section of the El Pe. The creators of Inside Life were Bob Snyder and Michele Sock. Handling Outside Life were Annette Salabura and Gerry Rudolph. Bill Stearns and Steve Sullivon did the sports section. The people section was the work of Outstanding Staffer Award winner Ketra Gierke, Sue Cains, and Brenda Ehrick. The preparation of advertisements was done by Debbie Burgess and Marti Zimmerman. Steve Koeppen, Gary Berndt, ond Tim Franceschini were responsible for taking most of the pictures which oppear on these pages. Ms. Sue Eggleston, os El Pe adviser, gave the last word on everything we submitted. She also handled the finances ond advised us on our work. 9t 97 ACTION ACTION ACTION AaiON paTON paion ACTION ACnON ACTION ACTION The 1972 LaPorte gridders compiled a respectable 5-5 win-loss record. They finished with o 3-4 record in the NIC. The key word concerning this yeor's performance was injuries,'' an inevitable aspect of football. Ten of the 13 returning lettermen were handicapped by injuries at sometime during the season. The loss of key personnel, such as defensive end Rory Swan, who was lost for the season with a knee injury in the Kokomo game, provided a chance for many underclassmen to be added to the starting lineups. The young team proved itself os the underclassmen led in many statistics. In their first game of the season, the Slicers bowled over New Prairie 32-0. They gained a spot among the top twenty teams in the state and remained there until beaten by South Bend Adams. After three straight losses, Stan Klimczak's tigers came roor- ing back with a win against Elkhart Central. The offense exploded for 28 points while the aggressive defense held Elkhart to a single field goal. South Bend Washington spoiled Homecoming with a 21-0 Slicer loss. The Slicers closed out the season with a loss ogainst South Bend St. Joseph. Footballers found the sidelines safer during the year with Coach Klimczak having retired his dipper for the season. 1972 FOOTBALL RECORO New Prairie LaPorte 32 Opp. 0 Kokomo 14 7 S. B. Riley 18 6 S.

In the NIC Singles Tourney LaPorte had three winners; Junior Jeff Ogle; Senior Tom Replogle; ond Freshman Keith Adkins. The high point of the year was the sectional championship achieved by the Racket Men. Although there were no individual winners, a well-bolonced effort helped the Slicers take home the trophy. Charlie Turk was selected Most Valuable Player and Keith Adkins was voted Most Improved.” Cooch LeRoy expected a good 73 os he would have four returning lettermen, ond with a good turnout of new talent the Slicer tennis team were expected to continue their winning ways.

Proctice for this time-consuming sport began in the summer and continued un- til the season’s end. The omount of effort he put into his running was up to the indi- vidual. Their rewards were exemplified at the Fall Sports Banquet when Jim Friend re- ceived the Most Improved Player Award. Dave Hucksted was considered the Most Valuable Player which was proven as he was not beaten by any of his teommotes in 33 outings. At times it was not easy to run seven to eight miles a night after school. It was that determination, sacrifice ond stamina along with encouragement from Cooch Cox which turned out the strong, capable runners LaPorte hod. Overall, laPorte ended the season with 15 wins and seven losses and a 6-1 conference record. tot 1973 SWIM SCHEDULE Rogers Invitational S. B. Clay Kokomo New Prairie Jackson S. B.

In the fall, swimmers went through a rigorous weight ond conditioning program designed to build their strength ond endurance, through im- proving the quality of their performance. Helping to instill drive and dedication during the long swim season were coaches Norman Tonsoni and John Shei. The 1972-73 season sow the appearance of La Porte's first female varsity athlete, freshman Lauri Meuller. She encountered no mojor problems because of her sex other than finding occomodations at competing schools. She was accepted by the other members as a teammate ond competitor. With just five returning leftermen Coach Tonsoni was worried about the lack of depth on the swim team. The underclassmen came through, though, as the swim team finished with on 8-6 seoson. They did well in the sectional and won the La Porte Invitational. La Porte had its best showing ever at the State meet in 1973. Norm Buckman became the first Slicer ever to ploce first in a State swim meet. Super Buck placed first in the 100 yard freestyle ond second in the 50 yard freestyle. Dave DeBruyne finished second at State in the 400 yard freestyle while combining with Greg Ayers, Tim Larson, ond Norm Buckmon in on eleventh place effort in the Freestyle reloy. Senior Norm Buckman left LPHS holding three individual records and played a pari in the fourth. Buckman broke the 50, 100, and 400 freestyle school records and held the freestyle relay record with Larson, Ayers, ond DeBruyne. Cooch Tonsoni felt that the improvement of the younger members provided him with the most satisfaction ond helped to make it a successful year for the swim team. 103 ROUNDB4LLEE£ RAVE fNCONSfCTENTVEAR Storting with o new, slightly ex- perienced team, the Slicer roundballers posted o 10-10 win loss record for regular season play, and a 12-11 overall record. During the 1972-73 season, Jeff Eader led the Slicer basketball team in points with 287 points and in rebounds with 231. Co- Captains Don Evans ond Curt Bauer followed with 151 ond 133 rebounds respectively. Chip Jones was the number 2 scorer with 237 points followed closely by Mitch Dunlap with 226 points. One of the highlights of the 1972-73 seoson was the upset of No. I rated South Bend Riley with a score of 49-44. The basketball sectional began for the La Porte Slicers on Wednesday night with the defeat of Westville by a score of 86-53. Thursday night the Slicers were idle only to come back on Friday with a stall and a win. The Slicers beat M. C. Rogers by a score of 48-41. Saturday night the Slicers faced M. C. Elston in the final game of the sectional. To the bitter surprise of the team and the fans the La Porte Slicers were defeated 50-44. The reserve team, coached by John Kunze, sported an excellent season with a 12-8 win loss record. Outstanding players on the reserve level were, Jim Szowara John Clough and Ron Russ, who led their feom in points. John Clough ond Bronc Willoughby were high rebounders with 181 ond 107 respectively. For the second season in LPHS history, the C” team began to establish itself. This year they added three more games to their schedule, and three more wins. Their overall season record was boosted to 6-4. Slicer roundballers ond fans seemed to agree, it was a very interesting season. 104 1972-73 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Knox Hommond S. B.

An added treat for Slicer basketball fans wos the start of half-time and the presentation of the Pom-Pon Girls under the leadership of Mrs. Goad. The Pom-Pon Girls performed various routines to the music of the Pep Band, led by Mr. Guy Foremon. There were 19 girls with four alternates in the organization. Another facet of entertainment at the basketball games was the cheerleaders. The varsity squad consisted of six girls, Rondi Chalik, captain; Peggy Small, Terri Weaver, Les Lufkin, Chris Salo, ond Peggy Bunce. Reserve cheerleaders were Marti Zimmerman, captain; Cathy Corpentier, Debbie Moore, Lori Essling, Cathy Lozerek, ond Nancy Mannia. A new program was instituted this year; Marti Zimmerman and Cathy Corpentier became towel girls ond helped the referees during the games. This was an effort to establish a good relationship between the referees ond the student body. The Pepper Club consisted of 150 members with Sue Wojciechowski, president; Jane Droege, vice-president; Peggy Small, secretary; Corol Corpentier, treasurer; Sue Yates, Pep chairman; Potty Lowe, ond Cathy Szylgi, seating chairman. The girls performed various cheers and creative hand jives throughout the gomes. All members wore orange Pepper Club sweaters ond block gloves. 107 Storfmg above, ckxtwit .

Though locking experience in many weight classes, the wrestling team finished with a 6-5-1 win-loss record. Highlighting the yeor was the Slicer team victory at the Valparaiso Invitational Wrestling Meet. The wrestling teom did well at the sectional meet os wrestlers Glen Wurtlin, Dennis Taylor and Hugh Smith were winners and advanced to the regional meet. Coptoining the team were John Kukla and Dennis Taylor. Taylor was also selected most valuable wrestler. Kukla and Wurtlin tied for the Farnsworth Award which is given to the wrestler who accumulates the most points for wins. Dove Sabones received the most improved wrestler award. For wrestlers, practice took on a yeor round importance. They were encouraged to lift weights ond run during the summer. In the fall they began working out in the school gym. Wrestlers found that practices were harder and more heated than the meets. In the spring of 1973 wrestlers sold trees as a money-making project for new equipment. Overall as the yeor progressed for the mofmen so did their style ond quality of wrestling. 1972-73 WRESTLING SCHEDULE New Prairie Won Knox Tied S. B.

They tied for second in the con- ference with on 11-3 record. The golf team highlighted its year by placing fourth among a field of 33 teams in the LaPorte Invitotional. A team score of 315 in the sectional was not good enough to qualify the Slicers for regional competition as only the fop three teams went and the Slicers finished fourth, missing by four strokes. Mr. Mike Hoke took over the duties of golf coach midway thru the season from his father who wos unable to continue because of medical problems. Coach Hoke thought the team did surprisingly well. The experience-lacking team's only senior was Greg Ayers. Captaining the team, Ayers was the winner of the most valuable player and the Herman Uebele low average awards. 1973 SLICER GOLF SCHEDULE Jackson Lost Valparaiso Won Portage Won LaSalle Won M. C.

The second semester had eleven teams with three people on a team. The winning team consisted of Doug Bowen, Mary Rainier, and Steve Sullivan. The sponsors of the bowling leogue were Mr. James Dilworth and Mr. Dale Peterson. Bowlers met on Wednesdays at 3:30 at the Thunderbird Lanes. The league was open to all whether experienced or just learning. Boys' Intramural basketball for the 1972-1973 school year provided an oppor- tunity for the would-be basketball stars in the school to display the tricks of their trade.

Dave Birkholz's team went undefeated during the practice gomes before tournoment play. They overpowered many teams by more than ten runs. The final game of the tournament saw Birkholz's team pitted against Bill lukoc's team. Having been badly beaten by Birkholz earlier in the year, Lukac routed them in a 27-7 win for the A division championship. Jeff Parker's team won the B division. The Intramural program was sponsored and organized by Mr. Laufman and Mr. Zeilinski. They also filled the roles of umpires. Participating boys were asked to pay a minimal fee so that chompionship trophies could be purchased for the members of the winning teams. 119 Storting right, cfockwrte i Cepedot chompionvhip volleyball Horn con- inh of, front Corman Cepedo.

This organization sponsored by Mrs. Marcia McKeever, organized five years ogo os the Girls' Athletic Association (GAA). The omount of participants grew in basketball and volleyball. Basketball started with sixteen teams in the fall of 1972. This sport, held on Tuesdays after school and Thursdoy nights, required skill and coordination in girls. Fighting in post years led Mrs. McKeever to distribute rules of conduct to every girl involved in basketball. This portion of Girls' Infromurols ended with a tournament in which Carol Howe's Thursday night champs defeated Bonnie Jaeger's Tuesday champs by a score of 33 to 21. Mrs. McKeever felt that the intromurol sports, especially basketball, should become a girls' vorsity organization. Volleyball, the more popular of the two sports, began in March. Mrs. McKeever stated that she hoped to have this sport become an All-Star organization similar to basketball. The volleyball tournament saw Carmen Cepeda's team beat Sam Smith's team for the Chompionship. Some males were involved in Girls' Intramurals os referees, time-keepers, and score-keepers. Parents and friends were invited to watch the games, and at many games there were lorge numbers of people out to see the girls in oction. 121 122 PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE � 23 124 PATRICK A8INEY TERRI ADAMS FREDERICK AKINS JOHN ALLEN NANCY ALLESEE RICHARD AUESEE KATHY AMOS CINDY ANGELOS REBECCA ARMANTROUT JEFFREY ARNDT PAUL ARNDT THERESA ARNDT ED ARNOLD RICHARD ATKINSON ALAN ATWOOD LILLIAN AULNER DiKuttmg Mur plant or Luo Rucker, Kathy Amo .

A total of six boys and three girls were chosen as delegates to attend week-long seminars dealing with the practical application of government and the way in which it worked for the individual. While attending these seminars mythical counties were formed by the delegates from all parts of Indiana ond they were given the chance to live together as self- governing citizens. They learned the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizen- ship. Delegates gained practical knowledge of the functions of their government os they become prepared to be future intelligent voters and office holders. The delegates all seemed to agree that the seminars proved to be very informative ond that the friendships that were established during that one week could never be forgotten. «27 In the fall of the 1972-73 school year seniors expressing on interest in community groups were given on opportunity to participate in some of the major clubs in the city. Ten senior boys ond fifty- five senior girls were active in the program. Two senior boy representatives attended Rotory Club each Monday evening. One representative went to Lions Club on Monday afternoons. One boy represented LPHS at Kiwanis Club meetings on Thursday afternoons. Each representative attended his club for a month. Senior Girl Representatives attended meetings of Women's Literary and the American Association of University Women. The meetings exposed the girls to prominent people such as T.V. personality Jim Conway and Gloria Broggiotti Etting who spoke on The Italy I Love. 128 DIRK DC WOLFE MMA OMONOT MARK DRESKE DAVE DR NEK JULIE DROCGE ROB DUNHAM MITCH DUNLAP GALE DISBROW EUADORSETT COMAXUNflV WELGO UES SENIOR, REPS Storting obov . ctodnrno: Dnoj� i-ng current eventi or Guy Miller ond Fr d Akim.

After three years of waiting to enter the building in the morning, waiting to see the counselor, waiting for lunch to start, ond waiting to pay for a coney dog and Twinkie, a senior was quite prepored to wait for Senior Week to commence. These many months of waiting, however, were not without merit. By June, 1973, grad- uating seniors hod learned not only their academic subjects, but also how to be patient.

Of the three, Tammy 8oston was chosen by the faculty to take the DAR test of United States History. She was then entered into competition with the area DAR citizens from their high schools.

Government students ventured out into the community trying to gain support for candidates in the fall election. Senior boys ond girls attended various club meetings as representatives of LPHS. Hoosier State Representatives learned more about government and politics while spending a week during the summer at a seminar. The codet teaching program gave students experience in the field of teoching in local elementary schools. Business education students were able to find employment outside of school while getting credit for it. The knowledge gained through involvement in the community was an important port of the class of '73's last year in high school.

Many students excelled in this area, and a select few were members of the “Top Ten of the Senior doss, which was quite an honor. The students' grades were averaged, and it was this grade point average which was used to academically rank the students. Membership in the Top Ten was a gratifying reward after years of hard work.

Term papers involved weeks of research, note taking, revising ond more revising. The mechanics of a term paper, spoces, punctuation, and spelling were, perhaps, the hardest technique to do correctly.

Although some campaigns were monotonous re- peats, a few new ideas were injected. These new ideas included Reggie White's sex posters and a smoking lounge proposed by condidate John Laymon. Campaigners spent the week of September 19-26 formulating effective posters and campaign speeches. Tuesday, September 26 gave students the opportunity to make their own choices. The junior class officers chosen were.- Chip Jones, president; Chris Kesling, vice- president; Becky Jaeger, secretary; ond Lois Jankoviak, treasurer. Mr. Keith Piper and Mr. Lowell Barker were the sponsors of the Junior class. NEU QPAPJC CAMPAIGNS 149 In oddition to the usuol classroom requirements. Juniors had on extra load. Their counselors odvised any Juniors interested in college, to take a PSAT NMSQT test on October 24, 1972 for college entrance. Students' names beginning with m through K were bussed to the Gvic Auditorium, and the remaining students stayed at the high school to receive their test. Many Juniors encountered their first term paper. The drowsy and irri- table moods were signs that the term papers were being written. Also, Juniors found many a sleepless night, caused by studying for examinations the next day. All these feelings resulted in frustrated and often puzzled Juniors. At the end of a hard earned year. Juniors could soy they had accomplished something special; they could say good-bye to their Junior selves and hello to their Senior Yeor. 150 The third annual Go� Day of the Junior do� � wo� held on April 21, to roi� e money for the traditional Junior-Senior Prom. The Go� Day wot held at the Clork Station on Eo� t Lincolnway from teven a.m. until eleven that night.

CMiOw UCw T .0«IM Carol MTCmi Kaxltal JUNIORS MAKE MONEVl IS3 154 CLAQ C FILMS ENUVtM QVCY MALLS Who is there to do in study hall? The closs of 1974 provided a solution to this question while building funds for their Junior-Senior Prom. After ordering films of classic film comedians Laurel and Hordy and the still popular W. C. Fields, the Junior class held several film festivals throughout the year. The chance to empty a study hall for an hour of entertainment was welcomed by both students and teochers. For the fee of a quarter, the bored masses of students fled to the auditorium to escape into the age of Charleston dancing and flagpole-sitting. As the last festival ended, junior class members, prom goers-to-be, and study haliers were oil content with the new idea and its results. ISA After growing from the insecure sophomores of 1972 to the juniors of 1973, the juniors finally felt at home in L.P.H.S. Having more experience with the routine of everyday life, by mid-year juniors began to look starry-eyed as their Senior year drew near. Feeling ot home is one thing to accom- plish, but taking over is another. The prom is the first mojor project that the juniors encounter as a class to serve the school. Juniors started trying to take key positions on the El Pe staff and Hi Times staff, in choir, and in athletics. Juniors were so serious they even won the tug of war at the Senior Field Day. The juniors gained attention by working hord for their class and l.P.H.S. JUNIORS i During the 1972-73 school yeor, juniors faced more problems than just being the middle man. Because of mony changes with old school policy, juniors were subjected to many important decisions. They needed to decide whether to graduate in January instead of June, and if so what subjects should be taken which are important to one's oims, goals, and career. The advantages of this new ruling were being able to leave for college second semester, getting a full time job, or just having on extended voca- tion. Since the phase-elective English, which started in 1973, juniors had to commit themselves and choose between os mony os sixty subjects. Continuol testing rounded out a year of aggravation for the undecided junior. In filling out forms for the NMSQT PSAT and SAT, questions asked ranged from how students were to rote themselves to what careers they would choose and what three choices they hod for colleges. The year of decisions required juniors to search their innermost thoughts in what they wanted out of life. It also seemed to be survivol of the fittest but even the most agitated student survived. juniors SP14GR into fro u Tw- S —« Km }.♦� .� « Hw ySw� W Swo Jm o IWWW.

Work on the prom lasted from four to ten all week. The few workers that appeared did a profes- sional job on decorations. Tired students filled the classes all that week. Then finally the whole week paid off os “A Toste of Southern Romance opened the night with partying, pictures, dining, and dancing. After prom weekend hod come and gone, the juniors could look bock and soy they had o very successful prom which ended much too quickly. 16t Juniors found that being juniors wasn't that easy. They wonted to goin attention from their fellow clossmafes without using gimmicks which the sophomores and seniors are so accustomed to. The sophomores get their attentior because they ore the babies'' and the seniors because they ore the oldest and more experienced. The juniors held many money making projects and became active in many extra-curricular activities to goin their recognition. Wow.- Dove Tngg th board b•form h« mokvt hrt move During their first month ot LPHS, Sophomores elected those members of their closs whom they felt acted responsibly. It fell upon the shoulders of Jon Fogle, Pres- ident; Sue Boyd, Vice-President; ond Cloudio Picket, Secretory-Treosurer to leod their classmates through a productive year. Basically, the Sophomore officers stood in the background and watched how the upper closs officers monoged the student body. By observing the others, the Sophomore officers developed their experience for further years of leadership. 165 ± , After a few day of the 1972-73 school yeor, Sophomore finally settled down. Find- ing dosses, following their teochers' wishes, and adjusting to study habits once ogain occupied the Sophomores' time. They found that grading systems appeared stricter than those of their junior high schools. But there were more satisfying activi- ties, too. Teochers consented to chewing gum os long as students did not blow bubbles. Pep sessions and assemblies seemed a little more appealing than in post years. Their variation in content interested the Sophomores. Sophomores furthered their experiences through problems as well as good times. The first Kesling alumni and those from Boston Junior High School become a definite part of LPHS. VOMd Mart Oar a iV I v-s 166 SOWO UORES LEARN TO ADJUST What wot it like being the center of attraction in school one year and the most ignored the next? Sophomores answered that question from experience. The decline of power was one to which they adjusted. The Sophomores began asking questions instead of felling other students what to do. They felt misploced when they first entered La Porte High School but as time went on Sophomores found their places and became an integral port of the student body. «69 0 1 J� Sophomore spirit could be recognized in every aspect of their actions. Energetic voices cheered ond yelled ot the pep ses- sions. When the Spirit Stick Contest took place, the Sophomores present screamed the victory cry. They continued their enthusiastic attitude throughout the school year. Posters and slogans arrayed LPHS with Sophomore enthusiasm during the class elec- tions. Such slogans as, Be Wiser Vote Beiser ond Fodd Has A Better Idea empha- sized the cleverness of some of the Sopho- more candidates. These colorful ideas brightened the monotony of gloss-windowed hallways and showed the spirit of the Sophomore doss. 171 ATM-E7TC£ INTEREST QOME- COPNO UORBC Sophomores were proud of those athletic members of their class. Andy Levandowski, Ralph Feikes, Chris Reinert, John Smith, Jim Szawara, ond Jeff Woltman joined the football team os sophomore lettermen. Mr. Klimczak considered them promising players for future Slicer teams. A Sophomore wrestler, Dave Sobones, showed his stability as a member of the varsity squod. Kerry Connely ond Poul Uhlmon earned letters for cross country. The vorsity boseball team held Larry Rardin in its membership. Backing up all the Sophomore enthusiasts were the Sophomore girls, some of whom went all out in cheering ond supporting their team. For many years, Mrs. McKeever wanted a varsity sports team for girls. Her accomp- lishment gained some fulfillment as Freshman Lori Mueller joined the varsity swim team and Mary Brenda, Sophomore, become a member of the tennis team. 173 Mill II jJlfi o«% t £OWO UOR£S ENOOUfJTER, SPEECH OASSES C« |Nrtl. «aiNm to-M.. � u� o « totO� MtoOkM MOm ImMOtmli� Dm� in ftdwr � •«• For the Sophomore students from the La Porte junior high schools, speech doss seemed to be a continuation of their freshman course. But for those few students who never encountered such a doss before speech was an entirely new experience. Such areas as monologues, dialogues, pantomimes, poems, discussions and im- promptu speeches enabled the Sophomore stu- dents to develop and improve their speoking capabilities. Being a more odvonced level of speech, it gave Sophomores a chance to express their feelings and enthusiosm to fellow classmates. For both reluctant ond aggressive Sophomores, speech proved to be a challenging experience. 175 in -isjsstf At |U| iii iHi i5i ih Sophomores entered Lo Porte High School not knowing which way lo torn. The new students wandered through the halls searching for the appropriate rooms. If they happened to find a friendly looking teacher or upperclassman, their search was shortened. The next problem occurred when the Sophomores wanted to know ,,oir about their teachers. Sophomores casually asked about teachers' pet peeves and requirements of those particular dosses. Upperclassmen helped in this situation, especially if they happened to be former students. As the yeor went on, the underclassmen became more independent. They established shortcuts and set routines to get to those once unknown classes. They also grew more familior with the woys of teachers and the requirements of each doss. tl'K' ut� , WIm ) MW,� fa� iwdm 177 Study habits became quite valuable as Sophomores entered their first year of high school. They found that note taking and listening to class discussion gave favorable results during o test. Even doing tons of homework helped them to understand topics that they encountered. Some Sophomores took advantage of studying extra hard so their work would get easier as the yeor progressed. Other Sophomores learned too late about good study habits so they trudged through the year. Both types of Sophomores learned that if they worked hard at the beginning, then later assignments were not as difficult. 178 SOWOfUOR££ COVFRjONT 7WE DRJEADGD RNALS As the first semester come to an end, the threat of finals hovered over the Sophomores. Some of these students crommed most of their semester's worth of knowledge into their minds the night before the dreaded tests. During the two final days. Sophomores wandered through the halls of LPHS with tense faces. The hours flew by as IPHS-ers stroined to complete the finals before the bells rang to end the tests. After taking a final, students entered the halls looking mentally and physically drained. But Sophomores obtained a view of what to expect in their future school years. 181 182 SUPPORTERS SUPPORTERS SUPPORTERS SUPPORTERS cuFPOfaEce OJPPOraERfi SUPPORTERS SUPPORTERS SUPPORTERS SUPPORTERS 193 JEFF'S KITCHEN KUPBOARD DANNER'S 5 10 60S L Lirtcoinw«y 362 3579 BICYCLE CENTER 921 Uncolnway 362 2732 v MR.

Whot was formerly a function of the fomily or church has now become a highly organized institution of American life. Organization of education in the La Porte Community School Corporation is the chief concern of our new Superintendent of Public Education, Mr. J. Robert Miller, and his administration. The actions of this ad- ministration affect the lives of about 8,000 students each year, in both elementary and secondary levels of education. The size of the La Porte Community School Corporation presents the administration with several organizational problems. The lorgest of these problems is the allocation of funds. Schools throughout the nation have experienced difficulties due to lock of funds or poorly planned budgets. The odministrotion, with advice from the citizens' budget advisory committee, core- fully plans and administers all money In the system. So for, our educational institutions have survived the monetary fray. As with any institution, there is al- ways some change. The administration con- siders many requests for change each year, ranging from pay raises to mid-year graduation. As concepts change and experi- mental programs are introduced, it is up to the odministrotion to decide whether to alter the present system or not. Our administration instituted three major changes for LPHS in its first year of existence. The phase-elective system was adopted by the English department. Seniors were extended two new privileges — the possibility to attend school for one-half a day, and to groduote in Januory. Many changes adopted by the administration, how- ever, never reach the public eye. There- fore, the amount of change in the organi- zation of the school system is difficult to measure accurately. The 1973 El Pe staff understands the problems of organization and change. We dedicate our book to the dedicated men and women who form the new administration, and wish them luck in the years ahead. Work on the 1973 El Pe covered well over the period of one year. Instruction and planning began in April of 1972, and the final pages were completed in the last days of June, 1973. Your yearbook is the result of the combined efforts of many people and businesses. Special thanks must go to our yearbook advisor, Ms. Eggleston. Her job in this final year as yearbook advisor was hectic ond often frustrating. Without her assistance, the book could not have been completed successfully. The staff also deserves special thanks. Many hours of work by these students went into the production of the El Pe. We also wish to thonk: Root Photographers for their services,- Mr. James Bell, our representative from Taylor Publishers for his assistance on special problems; Mr. James Peterson for his aerial shots of downtown La Porte; the La Porte Herald Argus for aiding us with picture problems; and all the businesses who supported the 1973 El Pe.
