Naturally, the 1960-61 year had sad inci- dents; but remember, as the Oracle remembers, only the happy experiences. The Ora- cle does give you the power to see many things which would have been lost forever. Because of the Oracle, the 1960-61 year will not become a mysterious, forgotten year.

UN DERSTANDING Leo offers various social studies. Some of these are so important that they are required subjects. They are important because they are an essential part of citizenship, and good citizens make a good nation. It isn ' t wise to wait until the last years of high school to teach social studies. This is why the 7 and 8 grade classes are offered general history and Indiana History. Also, a freshman orientation class helps in preparing students for their more advanced citizen- ship courses in high school. Group discussions were popular with eserjone in sociology. These eighth graders show that Indians played an important role in our country ' s history.  . i k ' ..tx: .-, « ■affi: - ' -- The Mock U.N. Assembly was presented by several history students much to the delight of the entire student body. OUR DEMOCRACY Often classes dealing with citizenship cannot be confined within the walls of a school room. The students must become acquainted with public life; therefore, they need to take frequent field trips and have prominent public men speak to them. Leo has met this challenge by showing films, visiting public buildings, and participating in such activities as the model U.N. It should be remembered by ever) ' one that A community is like a ship; ever) ' one ought to be prepared to take the helm. Social studies offers this preparation. Orientation is a course designed to intro- duce all freshmen to high school life. Compliments of HARTMAN STL ' CKEY EXCAVATING Leo, Indiana 41 Beginning with the simple sentence in seventh grade, and continuing with all parts of speech through senior year make up the basis for English-grammar study. Much practice is given each student in the use of composition through theme writing. The eighth grade literature studies the epic poem Ei ' mgeline. The ninth grade studies a Dickens ' s novel, while the tenth grade reads S his ALinier. a novel by George Eliot. fuHus Cciescv is also studied by the tenth grade. The Junior Class studies all forms of American literature. Miicbeth is one of the main studies in the senior year. Under Mrs. Steiner ' s watchful eye, pupils learn the basic fundamen- tals of grammar. The Stolen Prmce is dramatized by Ron Savage, Larry Warner, Marie Eicher. Tom Mi: and Garj- Graber, ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The English department at Leo has added a reading machine, record player, and tape recorder to their equipment. A speech class and a journalism class have been added, also. Richard Gardner seems to be at ease while pre- senting his speech before the class. A thoroughly enjoyed project of the class was their portrayal of the Birth of Christ. Rod Bertsch displays his gift of speech. ' SPEECH The new class of speech has played an important role. Students in the speech class were masters of ceremonies for most of the school assemblies and sponsored special con- vocations Conducting assemblies involves much work as students who have taken part in one know. That ' s why the speech class students deserve a ' ' thank you. The students of the speech class, under the super ' ision of M,ss Lehman, unanimously agree that the class has brought to each of them somethmg which will help them in later lite at work and home. It has given them the ability to speak before a group, abiht) ' to memorize, and the ability to interpret. A panel discussion brings every member of the class into the picture. 43 SCIENCE Iim Linnemeicr and Diana Hartman team up to work on their lab assignment Chemistr}- explains the structure of mat- ter in terms of electrical charges. It con- siders what occurs when substances react to form new substances. The students have prepared throughout the year several com- pounds and a number of chemically free elements. Biology is a study of life activities of plants and animals. To further the subject, each student is required to turn in a collection of leaves from Indiana trees and one major project of their own choosing concerning biology. This project may be anything from an insect collection to an embryology experiment. Steve Miller, Mary Winegardner. and Connie Thornton study the human torso. 44 Just what is light? What makes an electric motor run? What is the difference between heat and temperature ? Those questions, and many others, are discussed and solved in Physics. Members of the physics class keep their eye on the machine that measures Radio activity. Compliments of ARTHUR MARTINEZ FLOOR SANDING AND FINISHING A-88433 2127 Kensington Blvd. Ft. Wayne, Indiana Our health is a er) ' important factor in our Hves. Health, beint; a required subiect for grades seven through nine, tries to further the students ' knowledge of health in general and prepare them to lead a health- ier life — not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and socially. Dr. Doehrman drills into the pupils ' heads that health is ver ' import,int to all of us. . . . HEALTH Below left: Someone can really be tied .up after these first aiders are finished. Below right: Kay Zorger and Steve Johnson seem tickleJ-pink over the results of their experiment. Firs t Aid is defined as the immediate and temporar) ' care given the victim of an accident or sudden illness until the sers ' ices of a physician can he obtained. A few of the objectives of the class are: learnmg how to help others, learning ho ' w to help yourself, and developing safety consciousness. The class is designed to give as much practical experience as possible; thereby, giving students an opportunit} ' to gain confidence in handling different situations that may arise. An appreciation of science and recognition of the many ways in which it affects us are consid- ered in this science class. The different branches of science and the many opportunities in the field are discussed. We have studied energy. gravit) ' , astronomy, geology, reproduction and conser ' ation. Sound, electricit)-, and magnetism are also mentioned. The theory of Gregg shorthand is learned and students are taught to associate a definite sound with writing of a difinite shorthand outline. At the end of the first year, a student is expected to be able to take dictation on new material at a minimum of 60 words per minute and to transcribe with an acceptable degree of accuracy. In the second year, students continue to increase their short- hand vocabulary, ability to spell and punctuate, knowledge of word meanings and dictation Barb Schweppe, Karen Hedges, Jan Yoder, and Su Gehrig proved themselves invaluable to Mr. Jones many times. At the end of the second year, students should be able to take new matter dictation at 100 words per minute for five minutes and transcribe accurately. BUSINESS SUBJECTS Typing develops a speed and vocational proficiency in typing business letters, business forms, and manuscripts. Stu- dents are required to type at a minimum speed of 35 words per minute on straight copy for ten minutes. Bookkeeping is a study of the business papers such as checks, drafts, invoices, and credit memorandums, which form the basis of entries in columnar journals. Business records as applied to professional, service, and merchandizing busi- nesses are studied. Payroll and tax records are included. Bookkeeping helps develop basic skills useful in business and personal life and emphasizes the habits of accuracy, orderliness, and neatness in such areas as arithmetic, penmanship, and in checking and proving problems completed. The adding machine aids Sue Weilbaker and Sharon Schrock in calcuLitmp the tot.il m k)okkeeping. Mrs. Mumma takes time out to help typist. Roger Lederman. Future business men and women need to know mathematics. This is a subject covering everything from add- ing 2 and 3 to fiUing out an income tax form. The instructor, Mr. Grile, had the students follow the stock mar- ket operations. Each pupil invested an imaginary $1,000 in March and then waited until May to sell his stock. One phase of math studied in Bus. M.ith v.is graphs. The pupils in the picture are busy at work designing graphs. MATH A knowledge of Algebra helps stu- dents adjust to the Space Age. Students begin with simple formulas and ad- vance into the more difficult phases ot this subject. Barb Gerig. Bill Jones, and Jerr ' Garman are tested on their skills in Algebra. Advanced Math includes a condensed treatment of Solid Geometry, Trigonometry and introduction to Analytic Geom- etry, and a brief taste of Differential Calculus. When time permits, items in Probability and Statistics are touched. An industrious trigonometry student at work. Compliments of DR ROBERT GAYLE. D D S. Doris Lengacher and Pat Beck lend their assistance to Pat Stuckey and Beth Shaffer, who are diligent- ly working on their sewing project. WE ' RE READY FOR THE FUTURE The Home Economics department has studied cooking, sewing, family living, and budgeting this year. The Senior Class has taken part in the Betty Crocker Homemaker of America Contest and a sewing contest sponsored by the General Federation of Women ' s Clubs, and Vogue Pattern Company. A fashion show was given by the Home Economics classes for the Parent Teachers ' Association. Pretty, perky Marie Either and Sharon Stuckey model their stylish outfits. Acting as hostess, Pat Secrist serves her guests a mouth-watering meal. Melvin Miller and Phil Stiickey are busy at work on mechanical drawings. WE ' RE BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE Shop, which is under the supervision of Mr. Heller, starts in the seventh i;rade with the study of drafting, woodworking, and model work. Later in high school the stu- dents work with electricity, metal lathe work, concrete and carpentry, arc welding, and transportation work, such as automobiles and go-carts. Even the hoys in shop took time out from their daily work to en|oy refresh- ments — what refreshments ! GUTEN MORGEN The second year German class is a continuation of study of German grammar and vocabulary translation. A week was dedicated to the apprecia- tion and enjoyment of German customs, litera- ture, and culture. A term paper including brief sketches of German writers, artists, and cities, is a requirement for completion of the course. Miss Sprunger checks to see if her students have learned to pronounce this sentence correctly. HOLA Spanish is important in our relationship with Latin-American countries. Besides usmg a text book, the students are aided by Span- ish records. Conversational Spanish is em- phasized throughout the course. Pronunci- ation, conversation, grammar, and vocabu- lary are the main essentials. Students begin with expressions such as: How are you? and What is your name . ' ' Steve Wahlig, Kenna Levy, and Craig Woods are tested on their ability to form the Spanish forms of a word. 50 The trampoline was a favorite piece of equipment used by the girls in Miss Lehman ' s gym classes. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Development of the body, learning responsibility, and cooperation are the main pur- poses in teaching physical education. Both boys and girls in grades seven through ten are required to take physical education. Although their programs may vary, there are many factions of physical education in which either the boys or the girls or both partici- pate such as: softball, horseshoe, football, basketball, volleyball, bowling, badminton, and track. The physical education department also is equipped with a trampoline, par- allel bars, horse, and mats. At the present time preparations are being made to include archery in future physical education classes. Boys in gj-m class i.m tell you that Mr. Doehrman nev- er let a day go by without giving them a good workout. 51 ART DO-RE-ME-FA-SO-LA-TI-DO Much is being done to help our younger students to- ward a better appreciation of music. Music fundamentals and theory begin the twelve week study of music and singing. Following this the students study various musi- cal instruments, folk songs of different countries, and their composers, and then basic rnusic appreciation. Many of these seventh graders find that iimsiL tan be truly enjoyable- Every day during the sixth period band meinbers meet the music room for an hour of practice. CompHments of D. O.

NOT FINISHED JUST BEGUN Who said we wouldn ' t make it? Look again! HIGHEST HONORS r s Miss Valedictorian of Leo, Edna Hall, has achieved many worthy honors. Edna ' s status in her class is a very respectful position. With an A average she was elected the Good Citizen through the DAR. Because of her demonstration of leadership, Edna was chosen to attend Girls ' State in her Junior year. These are just a few reasons why her class status is respectful. One of the more evident reasons is her attitude toward life. Valeciktoriaii Salutatorian An A average was reached by Pamela Shoudel. This fine work was honored by the title Salutatorian. Pam didn ' t limit herself to classroom activity. She entered many scholas- tic contests. In 1961 she received a certificate for excellent performance in the Indiana Universit} ' English Test. Op- pression, one of Pam ' s poems, was accepted for publica- tion by the National High School Poetry Association. She also received the Americanism Award in her senior year. 80 Compliments of SAUDERS FARM HATCHERY AND FEED MILL Leo 231.T Grabill, Indiana MUSIC 13 li VARSITY BAND Row 1: S- Stump, I. Bender, D.

They have performed after the Jun- ior-Senior Reception, at school assemblies, the Teen Canteen, Harlan Days, and Leo Days. They are also active in the Varsity and Pop Bands. 89 f AN EVENING WITH RICHARD RODGERS f 9 With the rolling of the tym- panies and glaring spotlights, a two-hour long spectacular was presented by Leo ' s Music De- partment. Acting as Master of Cere- monies, Mr. Myers created an appropriate atmosphere for each number. The sentimental inter- lude, Spring Is Here, provid- ed an equally appropriate set- ting between each number. The King and I, played by the band, was the opening selec- tion followed by three numbers by the Girls ' Octet. The Varsity Choir sang a medley of songs taken from South Pacific. The Pop Band played the selections that won them a first at State Contest. A brief intermission followed. Then the choir entranced the audience with June Is Busting Out All Over and It ' s A Grand Night For Singing. The Jun- ior Choir sang two selections, also. To top off the evening, all the participating students assembled on the risers for a grand finale, Whistle A Happy Tune. DRILL SQUAD This energetic group of girls has left many observers flabbergasted after their performance at half-time for our home basketball games. Mr. Myers has had much experience in this field and has taught many routines, which have won much acclaim for Leo High School. Since the basketball season has ended, these girls are being trained to twirl for parades this summer and at basketball games next year. DRILL SQUAD OFFICERS Seated: Robert Meyers, S. Furnish.
