Here Soann Hostetler talks to her fiancee Ron Bontreger about future marriage plans, Jean generation Although reaching an exciting high in 1975, the jean genera- tion, our generation, really started when we were little folks, running around free, playing outside, and bumping around in our scruddy old blue jeans, never thinking it proper back then to wear them up town or even on a date. Over the years as fads changed, we changed, and our jeans became the symbol of a life of freedom which we didn't want to leave to the past. We expressed this freedom, our individuality, not only in our jeans but in everything we did - the movies we saw, the books we read, the expressions we used Cand even our values on Iifel. patches pieces. We rejected the image of the life that those from the outside threw at us. Prom them we learned freedom from VietNam, honesty from Watergate, sex from the movies and drug abuse from personal experience. Our dreams of a worthwhile life in the future broke in disillu- sionment, falling in pieces about our feet. The question, Where to now? hit us. The solution came with the only logical answer, Rebui1d! Thus, our generation has become a Phoenix rising from its own ashes, a IEAN GENERATION PATCHING ITS PIECES TOGETHER! -4, N 5? if it x C411 fjf :vx 'qfvs. vans .wssg vw ' e , rf.afzzmffiix5kgz 1-Q V 1 1 Y 1 9 ' 5 Q Tiff- V 1? f' 'i fi 145-fi 3 wfwfi ,f ,wif , ' 'iif A 1 ' 233, -, 'I Q27 .A,,.,, A Q, .5 5, '1 fir P I 'wt , , wi W rj 'nr 235,21 'J ff WAP-92 K - fx f ' , , ffghfgffi .f',f,1-ff -'Cav -F3313 ii , 15555521 fifjgav' RQ .fr , gs?

Welcome to Grijpskerk, Netherlands! the Grijps- kerk band played welcome tunes to Americans of Musi- cal LaGrange. Fright and excitement faced members on their first day in Europe, June 19. B.

Being presented with a 4th of July cake at Notting- ham, England, Members of Musical LaGrange proudly accept. Nottingham was a three day homestay for mem- bers. The trip that ninety-two Musical LaGrange members anxiously waited for finally arrived. Nervous jokes, tears and long embraces flowed at the LaGrange County Courthouse as members said their final goodbyes on June 18th. Waiting for the airplane at Detroit airport members finally boarded the plane after twelve hours of waiting. Losing six hours of sleep, the new foreigners arrived in Amster- dam exhausted, then stepped on a bus nerv- ously awaiting their first homestay in Grijps- kerk, the Netherlands, the Sister City of LaGrange. From the Netherlands members traveled to Germany and Belgium, later crossing the English Channel onward to Eng- land and Scotland. Performances by the Swing Choir and Stage Band under the direc- tion of James Liechty enthralled the hearts of many Europeans. Learning new ways of life while making new friends and memories that would be treasured made the trip a good experience for all members. -fo ' t - J s,.....4rQ' ,X .

It was a place for leaming about life, but isn't everyplace? It was a place for maturing and doing an about face with life, finding answers to questions at long last. At LHS students learned of math, English, history and other academic subjects in the classroom. But what was learned in the halls was much more important. People learned of other people: how to trust, who to trust and why to trust. LHS was more than a schoolg it was a meeting place, with life. vc, ,, SX fu 0 was M- Q ..a4 ' ,,.,t.f A.

Taking time out from daily routine, seniors Dave Hendricks and Fatima Tigmi discuss nothing and everything. Seniors used free time to converse in the commons when they didn't get caught. D. Junior Friends Jeff Taylor and Bill Park take time out to relax and become friends. Many students become good friends in their four years at LHS: how- ever most don't become this close. Reality ends trip to nowhere. As disinterest sets in, students who occupy seats in class begin the with- drawal from learning. It may be as harm- less as a temporary retreat into the fan- tasy world of daydreams or as serious as a complete withdrawal into the tripped-out world of drugs. It all adds up to an escape from reality. The anticipation of an upcoming activ- ity, the monotony of a classroom lecture, or the disappointment of a failing romance motivate most youth's fantasy flights. Many teens daydream about what they like in order to get away from what they don't like. However, for many escape artists daydreaming provides only a short term relief from everyday boredom: it lets them get away for awhile, but when they wake up everything is the way they left it. For a growing number of teenagers, a five or ten minute escape into a world of dreams is not enough. For them drugs and drinking offer retreat from problems they just can't face. Curiosity, boredom, and acceptance turn others to drugs. Taking drugs, in some ways, is related to social accepta- bility in some cliquesg it's part of follow- ing the gang. Dropping out with drugs is due primarily to rebellion, but the prob- lem is - not everyone is sure what they are rebelling against. Most teens want to experience every sensation there is to experience. With- drawing, through drugs, drinking, and daydreaming relieves teen pressures. But teens are discovering that running gets them nowhereg for as the trip ends and the daydream fades, reality sets in.

One of the class' primary goals was to give students a chance to explore various fields of medicine, helping them to choose careers in those fields. After attending the class a few times, the students then applied to the different training areas for jobs. LaGrange County Hospital supplied jobs for four senior girls: Deb Smyers, Deb Seelig, JoAnn Hos- tetler, and Sue McDonald. Senior Cathy Peters worked at the Medical Building, and junior Linda Reese was employed by the LaGrange Nursing Home. Mary Hicks, a junior, worked at the LaGrange Animal Hospital. HOE had been sponsored by Mrs. Ora Hellman since its conception in 1969. It has proved to be a worthy experience for students seeking careers in medicine. :umm , . 1-mammnzzrws .

As typewriters clicked and erasers blotted out old ideas in Mr. Keeslar's sixth hour journalism class, staff members searched for ideas for copy and layout designs. Six of these journalists attended Ball State Workshop last summer. They entered classes designed to' help them style and construct a yearbook of their own dreams, ideas and lives. ' Styling the book was only the beginning. Several thousand pictures had to be takenand developed, while only a fraction of them were used. Dozens of layouts were drawn, many of them discarded later. Copy was written, cor- rected, and rewritten countless times. Yet, after months of working long hours for one goal, the staff sat back and finally realized that it was really only a MIRAGE after all. 30 Mirage 'Hi'-N N-was 'wg ug...

The Lady Lakers finished up their first year in the North East Corner Conference with a 3-3 record. The Lady Laker volleyball team finished with a disappointing record of O-12 under coach Bauman. But as before Mrs. Bauman is planning for the future as her J.V. team fin- ished with a '7-2 record and she started four out of six underclassmen on varsity.

Many changes took place in the LHS football program during the past years. Unfortunately one was the record which dwindled from a 5-4 record to a 3-'7 sea- son, with all three wins in the NECC con- ference games. One of the new looks appeared in the coaching staff as Warren Hoover took over as head coach, and Robert Emerick moved into the assistant position. Coach Hoover introduced a pro-style offense and defense into the football system, which varied considerably from the split-t for- mation previously used by LHS teams. For the Lakers this was the first time in a conference, and they managed to win the first conference game over Hamilton. From there the Lakers went down hill winning only over the Cadets of Howe Military in the homecoming game and a win in the annual rivalry game against Prairie Heights for the milkcan. Since the J.V. team was undefeated this year we look forward to a good season next year, stated Coach Hoover. , ' g. 4 .- xf Q Az Q ' ,, F' rx UK 'GPH 1 f , V 3 , I W f!' , 5 M: ' W R, W: 'P ' u I N I - Q , 'EQ I ,I lj .1--fu is Q- A.

Undaunted by the fact that they received little publicity and recognition for their work or the absence of a fan sec- tion at most games, the little Lakers marched onto victory. A member of the J.V. football team stated: It's a hard game to play: not much recognition and a lot of gut-prac- ticing. If a guy likes to play football and be a part of the team, this was it.

A gentle gesture, a helpful word, a smiling face, the quiet jean generation unfolds through learning and caring .' With changes taking place within and without him. The individual asks him- self questions which in the end only he can answer. Maturing, questioning, his is a time of sensitivity towards naturef emotions, and friends. Frustrated yet relieved, he comes from behind the facade of the socialite, earnestly trying to believe in someone or something. Learning becomes more than classroom studies. Individuals, the student and teacher, guide each other, sharing laughter, discussing problems and offer- ing friendly assurance. Whether fresh- man or senior, adult or youth, each feels the silent sounds of an awakening, an understanding. iff. . if iff:-K V 's W s H, A , tm, ,. if T -422.1 fi f f i i fm ,, 1 x g as X b fix '.

Miss Mary Ann Beuret directed the cast of twenty-nine. With large audiences for both performances, the juniors earned over S500 . This three act play depicted life in a small mid-west town. Play action included: birth, marriage, family life, death, town gossip, teen-age romances, and general work-a-day interpersonal relationships. The play depicted life as a serious venture, interjecting low-key and ironic notes on life where realistically appropriate. Junior Kris Zynda hosted a cast party after the Saturday night performance. The cast presented Mary Ann Beuret with two rings and an opal necklace in remembrance of the junior play. C. While Kris Zynda daydreams. Kerry Keck tells his sister Connie Ebey about the moon.

Learning goes beyond the limitations of the textbook forc- ing students to touch every segment of life realis- tically hoping to show that living is participation and sharing in the failures as well as the victories. Some met the responsibility of growing up with a smile - others with a clenched fist. Most fought change, holding onto their own world of unique interpersonal relationships with the words make me on their lips. LHS became the proving ground for many who experienced the joy, agony, success, and love of the school world together. D.

Doug played his third year as varsity short- stop. Returning six lettermen the season looked like it would be a strong one for the LHS Base- ballers. However bad breaks played a large roll in determining the 15-9 record they compiled including a 9 inning one run loss to East Noble and an error filled loss to Central Noble. The Laker assets proved to be aggressive run- ning, strong hitting throughout the line-up, controlled pitching, while poor fielding hurt the team . Leading the team in hitting were sophomore Brad Eash and junior Gary Endres with batting averages watering around 350 throughout the season. The pitching department was led by sophomore Tom Cleveland, junior Tom Bur- roughs and senior Scott Glick. Depth was the Lakers strongest point with twelve fine fielding, fine hitting fielders dividing time .

Those ardently involved grew in spirit, knowledge, and ability, while others, counting the passing days, grew impatient, bored, and restless. To those involved, it seemed as though there would never be another time as exciting and full as the present. Yet, to those uninvolved, school seemed a monotonous and never-ending ride. For most Lakers, perfection was their primary goal. Be it in sports or academ- ics, only the best was good enough. It wasn't important to receive an A, or a victory. What was important was that they gave all they had to give to reach their ultimate goals. - x l xx I U ,rio Lakers seek ,ff N5-017 - .nv ' perfection first. A.

The year ends, but not time. Friend- ships dwindle away severed by the passing of life. Only memories remain. An event stands out, the prom, the late term paper, something unforgettable, to be remembered. Others will be forgotten. But people continue living and life's upsets still come. Yet they are different from before. Harder to overcome. Harder to pass by. But, the upsets, as before are resolved with time. As the 1975 Mirage grows old times will have changed.

Lakers ask Who am PM Who am I? , asks the individual. He looks at himself questionin, then to the reflection in the mirror others hold up for him. What do I want? How can I be myself? He compares his own image to the surrounding society, and if they clash, he revolts. Times, they are changing, says the old cliche, and the one shouts so what is the individual to do? Some cry out We must change now! And nothing gets done, but others are satisfied to work patiently, with establishment rules and tangible results. So LHS has revolution- ized and built pathways of communication. Teens and adults have finally realized that questioning is neither good nor bad in itself, but necessary for change. The teen does what he can, and learns to ask, to listen. to evaluate and to answer. Y ,ig 1' get f 'X 'ggi rx. A.

Assisted by student director Cheryl Workman, directors James E. Liechty and David R. Van Pelt organized the 1975 musical, which included a twenty-two- piece pit band which filled gaps between scenes as well as accompanying the stage singers.

Al Capp's world famous character came to life in the gay, colorful musical extra- vaganza LI'L ABNER produced at LHS on April 18 and 19, 1975. The plot is a sat- isfying mixture of hill-billy nonsense and sharp, critical humor. Word has been sent down from Washington that the citizens of Dogpatch must all evacuate their moun- tain homes. Dogpatch has been selected as the most unnecessary town in the coun- try, and therefore the perfect site for a nuclear test. It appears that something useful is found when Mammy Paula Brady produces her secret formula of Yokum- berry tonic which makes muscle men of weaklings. However at sly and conniving politician, Stuart Bowling, sends a sultry siren Lori Bachman and Evil Eye Steve Cords with his double whammy to work on Li'l Abner, Tom Potter hoping to wheedle Mammy's secret formula from him. After a trip to Washington, the citizens of Dog- patch foil his plan, and everybody settles down for a peaceful life of rustic simplic- ity in Dogpatch U. S . A .

The School Board, an agency of the state, was the foun- dation for the Lakeland School Corporation. The advisors and members of the board were representative of all per- sons of the community. Coming from various backgrounds in the county, the board tried to act in accordance with the wishes of the people in the community. Mr. Earl Gould served as presi- dent, Mr. John A. Price, vice-president, and Mrs. Julie West acted as secretary. Members consisted of Mr. How- ard Petersen, Mrs. Charlene Curtis, and Mrs. Ellen Stuckey. School Board acted as the decisive means for settling not only controversial issues but the trivial ones as well. Another function of the board was to lay sound educational structure for the school system. Encouragement for curric- ulum study was also listed among the board's many tasks.

Seated behind his desk, the Lakeland principal handled such things as reports for the school board, teacher and student evalua- tions and the never-ending tasks of order within the school community for the fourth year. He has quoted, This year fewer students have led to fewer school problems. The only major hasseling has come from outside the school, not from the students. Get a pass! was an expression used often for students who sometimes came to class late. The inevitable was a run to Mr. Storck's office. In that office you found the Dean of Students, Mr. John Storck. Not only did he keep attendance records but he also served as the athletic director. This meant he scheduled all games, arranged banquets, and supervised awards. Mr. Storck also kept a stern watch over the lunch room and park- ing lot. Whether jobs, school, or colleges, Mrs. McKinney, guidance director, and Mr. Tom Smith, freshman counselor, helped students pre- pare for their post-high school activities and ambitions through comprehensive testing.

Serving as janitors and repairmen, Mr. Wayne Hill, Steve Schemahorn maintained the Lakeland school and corporation buildings. The Lakeland cafeteria buzzed with activities as the seven cooks prepared lunch for an average of 475 pupils. The head cook, Mrs. Oakley, planned the meals, while Mrs. Fuller made her specialities on the ala-carte menu. As Mrs. Slack prepared the main dish, Mrs. Army and Mrs. Dunkel baked the breads. As assistant head cook, Mrs. Keller arranged the bulletin board and served food along with the rest of the crew. Secretaries and accountants are the background to any organi- zation and a school is no exception. Lakeland had both quality and efficiency in these areas.

During sixth hour, Mr. Hoover takes time outs from monitoring halls to grade some pop quizzes. His first year at Lakeland. Hoover taught math and coached football. My most important goal' in teaching is to instill my love of learning in others, particularly students. This was the statement of one of Lakeland's seven new teachers. The primary problem of most teachers had always been the lack of ability to create interest among students. Many methods had been tried and failed, and a few others had passed with flying colors. New teachers faced more problems than their veteran co-workers. They had to establish themselves as serious instruc- tors. This included designating their own rules - and enforcing them - and showing their students that they couldn't be taken advantage of. Yet, as the school year passed on, the new teachers became just teachers, and the strange students they tau-ght became individuals. xxx X I. During second hour.

Faculty - Were they the ones who stood behind desks giving detailed facts faster than notes could be taken? Or were they the coaches, the club sponsors, and the class play directors? Lakers knew them to be both. A uniquely cohesive group, the Lake- land faculty dedicated itself to the bet- terment of the LaGrange community through its young people. Such dedica- tion enables faculty members to work long hours necessary after an already strenuous working day to prepare for that next learning situation or organize that approaching club field trip. Lakeland teachers personified the old adage, If there is something that needs to be done, ask a busy man to do it. A.

In the educational world of giving tests, grading homework and preparing lectures, thirty-nine Lakeland teachers dedicated themselves to their own styles of teaching. Teachers talked among themselves about the changing system and adopted to the growing demands of today's teenager. It wasn't always easy to choose what was important, what material demanded attention, which students required that special touch. lt became more difficult to find that spark that would ignite dull eyes with interest.

A losten's representative measures senior Tim Barrows for his gown size.

My day started out with a few too1s through town. Next it was out to the school standing around the senior hall checking out the beav or badge. Then came homeroom, the time in which ever- yone tried to find some way to get out, tif they've gone in the first p1ace.J During homeroom, girls hoped for 1etterman's meetings and boys went to pom-pon practice, while many seldomly reached their destinations. School followed with little excitement and glamour, but much cheating. Then school let out and everyone headed for their cars, but only seniors fthe cream of the cropy left before the buses. My days may have seemed quite routine to some and quite boring to others, but I wouldn't have given them up for anything. Signed, Locker Red 275 . 31. ei ,. D.

The Junior Laker machine gets ready to tool town after the girl's Powder Puff football game Thursday evening during Homecoming. Tooling with your classmates is one of the traditional Homecoming activities. B. Barb Fritz and Gerry Strayer watch a football game intensely, while keeping their hands warm using Gerry's hat as a muff. Many couples spent their Friday nights freezing at LHS football games. Receiving their long awaited class rings on May 23, 1974, the class of '76 offi- cially became the next junior class of Lakeland with its rank and responsibili- ties. This year the juniors broke the school record in the annual magazine sales by over 31700, making them the richest class in the school's history. The money financed the junior-sponsored L.H.S. prom entitled Country Sunshine. Jun- iors erected the first and only permanent basketball spirit sign, and presented the March play production of OUR TOWN - all the while earning the reputation of a hardworking, organized class of 147 members. 4 r 7' -xt -1-.

Sophomore class president Lynnell Haney spends a few after school hours in Mr. Storck's office for skipping school. This proved that even class presidents weren't above cutting classes. ophonuwesconw outofsheH. A. Sophomore girls enjoy a picnic lunch outside to beat the monotony of the cafeteria. During lunch hours students had no privileges and were to remain in the cafeteria for their half hour lunch period. What does it mean to be a sophomore? To the class of '77, it meant many things. It meant one less year to get out of school, not getting shoved into cramped lockers, receiving highly prized licenses, taking guff off upperclassmen and giving to to freshmen, sluffing off just a little more, and receiving long awaited class rings. Being a sophomore was a time for students to come out of their shells and meet new students. It meant being too young for wild parties, yet too old for hayrides. It meant senior pals graduating, and realizing there are only two years left with your own classmates. Yes, being a sophomore meant many things. But most of all, it simply meant being a Laker. wry 'fc ' r .,,u.- O N. . we .rt l, bg ,111 :L-' 0 'Q v.. .Tir if Ar 8:1 Sophom ore Life 1 83 Gene Acker, Sharlene Adkins, Sam Qirney, Robert Bachman, Eileen Back?

Many recall grade school rumors: painted vivid pictures of upperclass bullies, insurmountable homework, and unreasona- ble teachers. Once in high school, many frosh were warned that the first couple of months of school were open target season for red- necks as upperclassmen plagued them with offers of lunch line passes and directions to non-existent swimming pools. So many times the life of a freshman seemed an unbearable burden. Each freshman faced the possibility of being forgotten and the need for recognition became acute. The newness of being in high school wore off by Christmas, but the need to belong lingered on until the end of the year where they finally felt being together as sophomores. Decorating their hall for the holidays, painting a spirit sign for the gym, and other activities challenged the inexperienced freshmen during their first year at Lakeland . 188 Freshman Life A.

As the freshmen began their first six l 1 l w weeks at Lakeland, they led lives of almost total confusion. They found diffi- culty in distinguishing classmates from upperclassmen, finding their way around Lakeland, and developing new attitudes toward school, with the latter being the most difficult obstacle to overcome. At junior highs, teachers tended to push the students more. But at Lakeland, they had to learn to push themselves and keep up with the schedules on their own. Yet after the first few weeks of being the neat little freshmen, the rookies became more organized. They elected class officers, homeroom representatives, and cheerleaders. They constructed their first Homecoming float, with Smash 'em Lakers as their motto, and slowly melted into Laker life. A. Ho-ho, wo-wo ! During Christmas season. each time the commons' phone rang someone ran to answer it, in hopes it was WOWO. Denise Norris doesn't seem too upset that it's a wrong number. B.

We have tried to center our book around the happiness and sadness, theexpectations and failure of everyday life at LHS. Our earnest thanks go to Dick Fitz Jr. our Ball State advisor who taught us the icky poo's and the cutesy pie's of journalism. Thanks also goes to Wayne Stopher, LaGrange photog- rapher, James D. Fisel, manager LaGrange Co. Ford Tractor, and James R. Keeslar for devoting his time and talents for us to put the 1975 MIRAGE yearbook together.
