For the junior high it was keeping in step with the new rapid pace of a school day. For the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors it was keep- ing in step with both studies and extracurricular activities. But for the seniors, it was keeping in step until the last day of school. We ail survived the excitement of cheering our teams on to victory, the frustrations of final exams, as well as the pangs of spring fever. This year was a successful year for the faculty and the students; we have all gained in knowledge and experience. Yet our battle for learning is not won, we must go on to bigger and better tasks. Doing this, we find the necessity of ... . KEEPING IN STEP Keeping In Step m ti ' With School Life The seniors won second prize with their Lions A-Go-Go float. .{J i kit The prize-winning theme We ' d Rather Fight ... brought glory to the juniors. They conveyed the idea by making a huge lion ' s head of tissue-stuffed chicken wire, and then gave it a large black eye. Each junior sported a shiner as well. Select a theme, and make your float so that we can easily recognize it, the judges said. With this — and the stipulation that no more than five dollars or 60 hours be spent on the project in mind, each class and club set to work. Originality (in terms of theme choice and float decoration) was, of course, carefully judged. The percentage of student participation on each float was decisive also. The sophomores expressed great school spi- rit by encouraging tremendous class partici- pation on their float. Through Dances, Banquets, Proms Margie Shimer and Mr. Jones enjoy a dance at one of the after-game dances, which were sponsored by the G.A.A. and the Oracle staff. The king, queen, and court, chosen by the juniors and seniors, were as follows: STANDING, Dick Minnick and LaDonna Ebler, shyest; Sandy Klopfenstein and Steve BoUier, best personality; Diana Henry and Jerry Timmerman, best dancers; Jean Bender and Terry Sauder, best dressed; Nan Wetzel and John Klopfenstein, most athletic; and center, Dave Jones, King; and Kay Zorger, Queen. SEATED are Sharon Litton, most poised; Lowena Gerig, wittiest; Jim Hedges, most gen- tlemanly. Mike Pape, wittiest, was absent when picture was taken. The couples dined by candlelight while Merlin, B. Gillett, prophesied the future of each senior. A Coronation Ball followed the dinner in the Chamber of Commerce Hall. Decorations were carried out with Knights ' shields and various coats of arms. The Trends provided music for the gala evening in Camelot. Elections, Assemblies, Awards, Who received this girl ' s vote, the Federalists or Nationalists? Federalists Bud Gillett and Don Gehrig won the election for president and vice- president of the Student Council. The picture to the right is from the Living Electricity assembly. Several students helped to demonstrate that static electricity can be harm- lessly passed through the body. In the picture below safety techniques and re- actioj time are illustrated. This was presented at the Safety assembly. The student body was evenly divided during the campaign speeches, although the Federalists proved to be the stronger of the two parties. .4 ft The African Teen Team brought good will from Africa through their stories, songs, and tribal languages. Individual Projects, Class Projects, Steve Hostettler, an eighth-grader, displayed a winning project on Meteorology at the Science Fair. A prize-winning project on Solar Energy was displayed by John Scoville, a junior, at the Science Fair. During the clothing drive held at school, homerooms competed, each striving for the greatest number of total pounds brought in per person. Boys heading the drive were Brock Well, Don Gerig, Bud Gillett, Tom Jones, and Rick 5i7eilbaker. ■IHFTT ■ ' i y ■tM m.i 1 f Bw flPlj 1 1B BBii« i fkT k S 2 { Ki k The junior high held their yearly magazine drive.

The senior sextet consisting of Debby Knepp, Lowena Gerig, Nancy Oddou, Sandy Klopfenstein, Sharon Litton, and Diana Henry sang If Ever I Would Leave You at the Spring Concert. The Spring Concert, presented to the community in the form of Unchained Melodies , was enjoyed thoroughly by those who attended. Norm Stump and Debby Knepp sang Baby, It ' s Cold Outside. Baccalaureate, Commencement, Rebecca Garman was Valedictorian of the graduating class of 1966. She had an A aver- age and took the Academic Curriculum. She was president of the Senior High Honor Society, treasurer of the Senior Class, and secretary of the Student Council. Becky plans to continue her studies at Ball State University. The Class of ' 66 had co-Salutatorians. They were Cheryl Deventer, right, and Larita Nahrwold, far right. Both girls studied under the Commercial Curriculum as well as both girls graduated with an A average. Cheryl was a member of the Stage and Concert Band; she also had out- standing skills in typing and shorthand. Rita was a member of the Concert Choir, the Drill Squad, and the newspaper staff.

And The Seniors On Their Class Trip The Senior sextet sang Climb Every Mountain at Commencement exercises. Robed seniors gather after Commencement for final good- byes. At 5:45 a.m. on April 15 the seniors departed from the school to spend the day visiting Greenfield Village, The Henry Ford Museum, and the River Rouge Ford Motor Plant. They also went to Wind- sor, Canada for half an hour of obseiring and shop- ing. On the trip home the bus went under the Detroit River by route of the tunnel I now pronounce you graduates of Leo High School. The seniors unload at Dearborne to day walking and seeing many sights. il- C ' ' After the evening meal at the terminal, the buses were boarded for the trip home. Many sleepy eyes were seen on the long trip home. In this world of rapid progress and advance- ment the importance of keeping our academic studies in step cannot be overstated. In to- morrow ' s world it will probably be necessary for many citizens to know at least one foreign language. There will be better jobs, for which more and more training will be necessary. To prepare ourselves for this world of the future it is almost a necessity that we graduate from high school. However, we cannot learn everything at once. Knowledge advances by steps, and not by leaps. We must find our best pace and keep up with it. We must see the possibilities of the future and prepare for it, or success will never be attained. Quoted from Macaulay KEEPING IN STEP WITH ACADEMICS Ruth Steininger questioning Sharon Litton during one of the Speech class ' s debates. Deeper Understanding Through Jean Bender hstened while Nanc) ' Oddou showed her abihty to read after one day of school in their character study. The Speech class members gave monologues and dialogues both humorous and serious. Here Lowena Gerig is giving her monologue. 14 The Senior English class developed their speaking abilities by giving oral book reports. Here Ann Marolf is shown giving her book report. Language And Speech All English students made book reports, and each class had other projects. For the Seniors this meant MacBeth, the Canterbury Tales, and research papers. For Juniors it was studying Our Town, interpreting poetry, and using good English. The Sophomore English class studied Julius Caesar, Silas Marner, The King and I, and they wrote short stories. Step by step Mrs. Seifert drew her Spanish I II classes out of the English world into the thinking and speaking realm of Espanol. Her emphasis was on inflection, memory, and pronunciation. The work attempted to create in the student an understanding of a language and a culture totally foreign to our Class participation is an important part of learning. Mr. Seabold encouraged his 7th grade English class to give their answers orally. The speech and dramatics department under Mrs. Norma Gehring furnished excellent training in the different aspects of speech instruction, including reading, speech-making, and dramatics. This year the dramatics class presented the play Our Town. For the first time at Leo the play was given in the round. The first year Spanish class recalled their vocabulary words as they wrote sentences on the black board. The Algebra II class studied the remarkable features of a conic surface. These facts helped them in solving quadratic equations. Many changes have been made in our math depart- ment. The 7th and 8th grade students have studied the new modern math. The Algebra I class have stud- ied several kinds of uniform motion problems along with the basic fundamentals. The Plane Geometry classes have learned how to make definitions and to use them in making proofs. The Advanced Sen- ior Math class studied courses they would be taking in college. As we studied history ' during the year we were pre- paring to make history as well as study it. The 7th grades started with Indiana history and the higher classes studied World History and United States Histor} ' . The Seniors had government and the so- cial science of economics. The students in the Science classes participated in the science fair and gained useful knowledge through their projects. In their classes the students learned the facts about the lives of plants and animals as well as the results of chemical experiments. Principles Of The Past Lay The senior Ecoonmics class took time out to study current events. This panel relayed their information to the class. This American History class discussed various aspects of American Life. 16 The Advanced Mathematics class studied Trigonometry, Solid Geometry, and Analytic Geometry.

Most of the band members participated in many contests and brought back mostly first and second ratings. The band played at all the home basketball games, and at the county tourney. Also, the band made a record- ing that was played over WKJG radio. Pop music, during the year was outstanding. Bud Gillett com- posed an arrangement of Sloopy and led the band in this song many times at the basketball games. Gary Thomas, Bud Gillett, Danny Stuckey, Norman Stump and Terry Souder were soloists in many songs. The band wrapped up a fine year by returning home from contest with a second place rating. The choir had several performances, including those at the Christmas program, the Spring concert, Bac- calareate, and several area churches. They also sang at the Band and Choir Awards Night, and made a recording for a radio program. They competed at District Contest and came back with a second place rating. They were accompanied by Debby Knepp and Mel Killett. Band Officers helped Mr. McBane by doing various jobs such as taking care of the award points nad organizing the music. S.

From Home Economics to Business to Shop were three steps of education provided for Leo students. During the first semester the Home Economics class- es studied food preparations, buying foods, and serv- ing meals. Sewing was studied during the second semester. The 7th grade worked in the area of needlecraft while some of the other classes did a fabric study and learned how to read patterns. The advanced class worked on wool suits. Aiding in the total development of a student of Business, Mrs. Mumma and Mr. Getting guided the students through shorthand, typing, business math, and clerical office practice. Along with the text, each student was given training in posture, poise, and personality, plus the arts of mimeographs, thermofax, stencils and ledgers. Leading the boys in the shop, Mr. Heller gave his time, skills, and patience in the finer points of manual art, automobiles, and wood construction pro- jects. Machine know-how and safety were stressed as the boys learned to use the shop ' s tools. Vocational Art Students The 7th grade Home Economics tried their hand at knitting while Mrs. Harrah helped Pam Hobson. During a demonstration for the Home Economics class, Robin Timmerman styled Susan Howard ' s hair. 20 The Typing I class continually trj ' ing to increase speed and accuracy. Plan For The World Of Tomorrow The Bookkeeping class worked on an assignment while Mr. Getting helped Joanne Stuckey use the adding machine. The skills that the girls in the Shorthand I class learned came through hard work and practice. 21 Mr. Piatt, instructing his Driver Education class in the mechanics of using a car. The senior high art students studied fine art and commercial art. The classes gave reports of fine art and modern art. A study of different artists and their works was also undertaken. Mr. Freeze assumed Mrs. Rees ' duties in the second semester. The Jun- ior High studied color theory for water colors by making value charts and color wheels. Last year the drafting class was instructed in draw- ing machine parts and reading blue prints by Mr. Divelbiss. Their chief goal was to furth er their knowledge for a career in drafting. The health classes made reports and posters on the Dody systems. They became better acquainted with the functions of the body. They also studied nu- trition and better health habits. Mr. Oetting ' s first aid class studied the fundamentals of emergency medical care and the hazards which cause the need for this care. The goal of driver ' s education was to prepare stu- dents for driving by stressing reaction time, emotional maturity, use of good judgement, and physical fit- ness. The effects of alcohol on the body, and thus on driving, were emphasized. Safety Steps Mrs. Nelson ' s 7th grade Health class listened while Yvette Wolfe gave her report. Here Diana Henry is shown applying a bandage to Dick Minnick while the class watched her procedure. 22 The Advanced Drawing class studied the designs of build- ings by making architectural drawings. The 8th grade boys studied the skills of drafting. Fine Lines Produce Fine Results The 7th grade girls ' art class studied the principles of perspective under the superi-ision of Mr. Freeze. Mrs. Rees assisted Ilene Garey while she made a letter poster. 23 I ' lil ' ll ' I ' Hf The Lions have agreed with the Greek theory: a sound mind and a sound body make a well- balanced individual. As different subjects have appealed to different students, so have various sports appealed to Leo athletes. Cross-country enthusiasts and baseball players greeted the fall with open arms. Then came Wmter, pushing the sports activity indoors onto the hardwood. Golfers, volleyball players, and track stars brought athletics back out- doors in the spring. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. Sir Richard Steele KEEPING IN STEP 24 WITH SPORTS 25 (R « • m II ROW 1: Coach Hal Piatt, S. Delegrange, R. LaRowe, R. Neuenchwander, R. Dunbar, D.

In addition to daily assignments there were term papers which occupied much out-of-class time. In order to sur ' ive the rigors of a school day, the student parti- cipated in an activity that not only provided recreation, but fellow- ship and ser ' ice as well. Whether it was playing volleyball in a pair of torn levis, putting up last minute decorations for a cafeteria dance, or washing cars to raise money, the change-of-pace responsibility which the stu- dent held to an organization was invaluable. The poster-plastering of the halls by classes and clubs fot he ' 65- ' 6G school year proved the average student to be a good com- bination of work and play.

The Lion ' s staff of ' 65- ' 66 were Keeping in Step with the times, events, past, present, and future hap- penings of classes, dubs, athletics, and individuals throughout the school year. The first day of school opened with each faculty and student holding the first edition of the 6th volume of The Lion ' s Tale. Sue Raugh, the art editor supplied a Henry for each paper that was in keeping with slant of either the month, or leading event of the edition. Once during the year, the staff confused cadence, but grew from the fall. Twelve to one, steps lead to 121, scissors, pins, scotch tape, typewriters, stencils, frustration, headlines, deadlines, words, dictionaries, Thesarus, poems, personalities, laughter, tears, stor- ies, leads, scoops, Jones ' press conferences, and a go-go seven days ever)- two weeks. Denned with the Tale was The Oracle staff that tread through deadlines, headlines, headaches, heart- aches, ruined films, sock hops, bills, collections, col- lectors, ads and copy. Stirred on by keeping in Step the staff kept pace with Kay ' s schedules and ladder. Pica, pencils, rulers, triplicates, borders, bleeds, postcards, block style, past tense, pictures, copy-stamp, erasers, typists, wri- ters, photographers, editors, managers, strain and stress resulted in a compilation of the year, and an annual.

By working and playing side-by-side, our many dif- ferent students broadened their understanding of each other. The Einsteins of the laboratory, the long-haired Peters, Pauls, and Marys of the guitar-strumming set, the hand-shaking politicians, the cafeteria cut- ups, the study hall sleepers — all these personalities contributed variety and excitement which made the ' 65- ' 66 school year challenging and memorable. KEEPING IN STEP 52 WITH PERSONALITIES 53 Mr. Jones, Principal, was the man of many responsibilities at Leo during the 1965-1966 year. Besides attending many conferences and committee meetings throughout the year, Mr. Jones supervised many student activities. Those Who Mr. Paul Harding, Superintendent of East Allen County School Corporation, was re- sponsible for taking care of the many needs which continually occurred in the East Allen County schools. He is to be commended for a well-done job. The East Allen County Board members were the governing staff of the East Allen County School Corporation during this year. SEATED left to right: W.
