A PLACE TO EAT and a place to rest aching feet . . . the cafeteria. At the P.T.A. Fall Festival, this refuge for relief was welcomed by parents, teachers, and pupils. At many school and social activities we see people we know. We hear music that ' s sweet ' n solid or rock ' n roll. The at¬ mosphere of fun and fellowship surrounding us gives u s an op¬ portunity to enjoy our school life. Our parents and teachers enjoy our school life, too. They go to our games, and this year they had a funfest called the Fall Festival. There were games, prizes and everything imagin¬ able for adults and students, too. We enjoy talking about all these activities before and after school because that ' s part of our school life as we live and learn. IT LOOKS LIKE it ' s much more fun to stick around school and talk after the last bell rings. These pupils just can ' t seem to tear themselves awayl 5 UJe Jlave Many l leiu- and As we live and learn, we also grow at school. We come in as freshmen, not knowing what to expect. After awhile, things start to make sense. We begin to make friends as we participate in activities designed especially for us. We learn of future college days, and we plan for them the right way. On Prom night and on our Senior Trip, we love behaving as adults. Right up to the time of graduation when we march to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance with grace and dignity, our school con¬ tributes to our growth as individuals. WITH SOCKS AND SWING, these big ' n little sisters are all set to have a ball at the Sock Dance. This is always a memorable event for many freshies, for it is at this dance that they learn the complicated art of jitterbugging. White jackets — Courtesy Topper Apparel, Mrs. E.

There are over 1,400 high school students, and we are all different, but each of us plays a vital role in this school of ours. Many things of value contribute to our world and we enjoy being able to live with ourselves or together. We learn to be independent, but most of all we learn to get along with each other. We learn to study alone, to converse with a special friend, or to mingle with fellow students in our crowded halls. The things we learn at school, by ourselves or with others, give us a better chance to prepare for the life we will lead in the future. l Ue Jlaoe Vlme to H oaden Ow ALGEBRA IV STUDENTS watch instructor, Mrs. Doris Boose, as she writes an equation on the blackboard. She is answering a pupil ' s question on a homework problem. Elective subjects are a wonderful part of the school curriculum. We enjoy being able to select subjects as we choose. When we know that a subject is not required, but we may take it if we wish, it gives us a feeling of free¬ dom. We learn how to work an especially difficult math problem, we learn how to converse in a foreign lan¬ guage, or we learn how to drive carefully and safely. We learn things adults don ' t normally expect us to know, and we don ' t learn them because we have to. We know they will help us to live well in the future.

We perform scientific experiments in our laboratories, and we examine theories carefully. We make maps and charts to help us understand better the world we live in. We write term papers, autobiographies, compositions, and reports and we also read books, plays and short stories. Although many of our subjects are re¬ quired for graduation, we take pride in the wide variety and scope they offer. Our school work will be a stepping stone to adult life.

A TYPICAL ENGLISH classroom group is ready for a lively discussion. Eager pupils show by a raise of hands that they have something to say. kJe cMaue Man TRACING, MODELING and lacing are just part of the work that goes into the construction of leather purses.

Linda Wheat, Mary Starcevich, and Melanie Rzepka prepare for future duties in cookery. There are many vocational classes for us. We seek to master the primary skills and to utilize the creative interests we develop. We begin by observing the teacher as he demon¬ strates and explains. Then we try it ourselves. At first we make mistakes, but soon we improve, which makes us a little more careful the next time. Gradually we find our hands mastering the tech¬ niques of true craftsmanship. We take pride in our work and receive satisfaction in visible achievement. We learn by doing, and by doing, we are brightening our lives with the prospect of a better and happier future. WITH PALETTE AND BRUSH in hand, and knowledge of blend- ing and composition in mind, John Popoff paints a scene on canvas. 15 There are opportunities for everyone in our school. We can lead, as many of us do, or we can follow. We can plan ahead to become a member of the local school board, or an am¬ bassador. We can participate in elections similar to the one that re-elected Dwight D. Eisenhower the thirty-fourth president. We can attend club meetings that discuss everything from adolescents to adults. We can give service in every field from politics to electronics. Our club activities help us to live better and to learn well for the future.

The Council provides students with an opportunity to help run the school, to voice opinions, criti¬ cisms, and suggestions, and to define educational, voca¬ tional, and social goals. Meetings are held every Wednesday after school in Room 208. The activities of the current school year began with preparations for Homecoming festivities and Freshman Orientation Week. These projects were most successful and were followed by the thirtieth annual Inauguration Day for Council officers and all class officers. The Inaugural Ball in December was the high light of the winter social season. The Council sponsored a Clean-Up Campaign, the decoration of halls and offices, food baskets for needy families, the S.O.S. Humanity Drive, and Student Adminis¬ tration Day. The events of the year were brought to a close by Activity Day, a Council project which honors all students who have contributed exceptional scholastic, athletic, and social services to the s chool. Jackie Mattingly served as president of the Council. The other officers were Marilyn Rose, vice president; Janet Myers, secretary; and Keith Pearman, treasurer.

They try to do everything the Roman way, including a Saturnalia at Christmas time. The club is affiliated with the American Classical League and they are participating members in the city wide Latin Conference. Each spring members also help acquaint future high school students with the values of Latin. Sales and dances provide money for the purchase of Roman costumes and fees for contest entries. The most coveted Latin award is given to an outstanding member on Activity Day.

Every day at 11:05 the Senior Drama class meets in the auditorium for the purpose of increasing knowledge in the great art of drama. Through regular class study and outside curricular activities the group learn and practice the fundamentals of play giving and play acting. The future Tab Hunters and Kim Novaks present plays, take over production assignments, learn the fine arts of make up and costume and scenery designing. Socially the groups often see professional plays in Chicago, participate in their own amateur productions and accumulate points toward individual dramatic accomplish¬ ments. The president of the group was Larry Goldberg and vice president was Helene Zury. The business manager was Connie Kapsch, and student director, Dorothy Rzepka. Records of daily meetings were kept by Janice Zubrik. Miss Beatrice Sandies is the teacher of the class and sponsor of all extra-curricular activities. l Ukene MeaU,, Pleade? A club which promotes interest in all auditorium activi¬ ties, and develops responsibility, cooperation, and integrity is known as Auditorium Council. It is necessary for candi¬ dates to be enrolled in auditorium and possess qualities of generosity, responsibility, loyalty and courtesy. The members of the club ushered at all school audi¬ torium activities and helped in ticket sales of dramatic and musical events. Their social activities included a potluck dinner earlier in the year and a formal spring dinner in which honor students are guests. Officers of the organization were president, Brenda Arnold; secretary, Betty Lou Emery; and John Dimos, treas¬ urer.

Students who attain high scholastic averages, and who excell in character, leadership and service are asked to join the Senior Honor Society. To be eligible the student must be a junior or senior and must have maintained a high degree of interest in studies and activities throughout high school. An impressive candlelight ceremony took place this spring and new members were inducted. Officers serving the first semester were president, Don Hannah, and secretary-treasurer, Donna Maly. The Senior Honor Society is under the sponsorship of Mr. Bernard Shirk. To develop good citizenship, to create enthusiasm for high scholarship, to stimulate a desire for service to our school and to our community, and to promote trustworthy leadership are some of the qualifications for membership in the Junior Honor Society. Each year the society holds an induction ceremony for installation of new members. The principle service of new inductees is to help new students become acquainted with Lew Wallace and its traditions. Officers elected for this year were president, Martha Melvin; Carol Golbesky, vice president; Merri Gannon, sec¬ retary; and Betsy Corns, treasurer. The organization is guided by Miss Angela Hannagan, Mrs. Margaret Connerly, Miss Olive Waggoner, and Mrs. Florence Heffron. 1st Row (left to right) S. Wotysiak, L George, S. Wagner, S. Hart, M.

Before a boy can strive for these military achievements he must be fourteen years of age and be registered in high school. Military training is given to the students to benefit them. It will be of some value when they are drafted into required military training. This year ' s R.O.T.C. rifle team competed in the annual Hearst Trophy Match against 261 high schools in the United States and territories, and in the 5th Army Trophy Match against the R.O.T.C.

Vke Aqet, Jiao 9t With only two years of background, the Boys ' Club has given the boys of Lew Wallace an organization in which they can expand their ingenuity into useful services and find a solution to their problems. A steering committee has been organized to lead the group in the various serv¬ ices which it performs. Each month a Welfare Committee visited students not able to attend school. At the four mass meetings the boys learned about various vocations, an effort to help them pick the one for which they are best suited. This year the Boys ' Club sponsored their first couple dance, Cupid ' s Corner, which was well attended by the student body. The sponsors of the club are Mr. Virgil Krampe, Mr. Arthur Manning, and Dr. Ernest Ladd.

Tom examines a lens and Charles takes a table-top photo while Ray does copy work. The boys who are enrolled in Audio-Visual are regarded as a teacher ' s right hand. In this department the boys learn the tech¬ niques of operating and setting up A-V equipment. Rendering help to teachers by showing educational movies is the primary purpose of the group. All of this work is done under the supervision of Mr. Paul Bowlby. Boys enrolled in the photography classes may be found in class rooms, in the hall, at dances, or at games, but always with a camera in hand. In order to belong to the class, a student must be interested in photography and willing to work. Through the care and guidance of Mr. Paul Bowlby, students learn the art of posing subjects and taking and developing pictures. The boys play a large part in helping the publications staff by taking all the Annual and Philosopher pictures. They also take pic¬ tures of Prom couples and group pictures of primary grades.

IN THE CONTROL ROOM there are many important operations which require technical skill and efficiency. Here Dean Boboo controls the program level while Jim Baker adjusts the tape recorder. Behind a closed door and an On the Air sign, students work on Lew Wallace ' s radio station, W.G.V.E. Broadcasts consist of taped programs of an educational nature for use in class¬ rooms and the best in classical music. In order to belong to the broadcasting staff, students must be interested in obtaining a radio operator ' s license and in getting practical experience in the problems of running a radio station. Students utilize this station daily as part of their educa¬ tional course. Engineer Dean Baboo helps the staff collect radio material for programs. The radio programs are under the capable direc¬ tion of Mr. Paul Bowlby. JIM KINDLER listens and watches attentively as Dean Baboo instructs him on the operation of the studio turntable. 37 Staff Reporters: Nancy Koches, Lorna McDaniel, Carole Shearer, Cathy Brckovich, Carol Megquire.

Busy day — and night, as the case may be. Such is the cliche ' of the Philosopher staff in 214M. The struggle of man vs. deadline is a daily one, and a staff of forty-two students fought the good fight this year to bring us sixteen Philosophers. The eternal question of the editors, Irma Smoot, Janet Myers, Phyllis Komisarcik, and Annette Pozonovich was Isn ' t there any news in this school? Something must be happening! ' ' As usual, something is always happening. Thus the task of digging it up befalls the staff reporters. The Daily Bulletin editors Janet Huettner and Jean Bolk- ovatz, and News Board editor Joe Haro had a daily task — to keep the school news up to date. Money, money, money. So much of it passing through Room 214M everyday, and yet will there be enough? The staff isn ' t really mercenary, but the threat of being chased by the bill collectors continuously hangs over their little round heads. This brings on stag dances and other projects. The Senior Edition, calling cards and invitations — these, too, are duties of the Philosopher staff.

Through all the hurry-scurry and confusion, staff advisor Mrs. Kathryn Welsh strives to hold the activity down to a mere roar. A staunch trooper, she guides the staff through thick and thin.

At last! The day of Annual distribution has ar¬ rived. The finished book is a product of — to quote a famous man — blood, sweat, and tears. The pages of your book began as an idea, a dream, in the thoughts of the editor. These ideas were transferred to paper and film, and thus the pieces of the puzzle fell into orderly, printed pages. Editor Miriam Melvin has trained her thoughts on the presentation of an annual which will recall to the students of old Lew Wallace, the memories that they want most to remember. Many evenings in 214M have been spent toward this goal. Picture Day is the biggest single event involved in putting out an annual. This helps to finance our book, and we are indebted to Indiana School Pic¬ tures for the class pictures. Perfection, at least as much as possible, is the goal of the annual workers. Club picture editor, fac¬ ulty editor, copy editors, and typists all work for a common goal — the best annual of all! Deadlines are to be met, and everyone breathes a sigh of relief when the first section goes to the printers. This golden moment is short-lived with the realization that the victory is not yet won — back to the grind again! Now the goal has been reached. Your Annual lies in your hands as a symbol of the wonderful year which has just passed. The Quill and Blade staff hopes that you will enjoy your book, and that it v ill bring many happy memories. 40 Business Managers: Rose Marie Deckter, Lillian Major.

We learn that there is give and take in all sports. We discover that the fan has certain obligations to the team, and the team has certain obligations to the fan. We learn that good sportsmanship means winning and losing. The sports activities of our school help us to live clean, healthy lives and to develop good moral attitudes.

The 1956 Varsity football team under the leadership of Coach Polly and Coach Black broke even this season, winning four of eight games. The squad finished third in the city race and ranked third in W-NIHSC. The biggest thrill of the season was the defeat of the Rough Riders of East Chicago Roosevelt 12 to 6. High scorer for the year was Philip Lobsinger who made thirty points. Two members of the Hornet squad awarded positions on the all-city team were Don Hannah and Philip Lobsinger.

We had been told that troubles come in three ' s, so from the beginning to the end of the celebrations, we expected to see big, black clouds in the sky. Fortunately, not a single drop fell, and for the first time in two years, we experienced a rainless Homecoming. The Homecoming spirit was ignited with nomina¬ tions by homerooms and the football team for the queen. The candidates were Donna Jansen, Jackie Mattingly, Rochelle Robbins, Irma Smoot, and Eleanor Stark. Spirits rose higher at the pep rally held October 17 at the Junedale Little League field. The candidates for Queen and the football players were introduced to the capacity crowd. A touch of humor prevailed at the rally as the car in which the candidates were riding failed to start and had to be pushed off the field by the football players. The climax to the celebrations came at the game, which was played against Tolleston. There was a display of pageantry during the half-time ceremonies as the candidates, dressed in formals, rode around the field in brand new convertibles. The girls were then escorted to the 50 yard line, and the senior class president, Jim Hart, crowned Jackie Mattingly as Homecoming Queen. She was presented with a piece of luggage and her court received personalized compacts. As a finishing touch to an exciting evening, the Hornets defeated Tolleston 21 to 6. Jackie and members of her court reigned over the final Homecoming event, the Victory Dance. They gave it a regal atmosphere that we will remember for a long time. Homecoming Queen: Jackie Mattingly.

Coach Dom Polizotto took over the job of head basketball coach, though, after Coach Charlson was appointed to another job by the Board of Education. Coach Polly took up where Coach Charlson left off, worked with the boys, and developed them into a fine offensive team. The Hornets showed superior playing ability and were respected by all as a fine team. The team came out victorious against such teams as East Chicago Washington, Hobart, and Emerson. They faced opponents such as Crispus Attucks, East Chicago Roosevelt, and South Bend Adams.

Under the direction of Coach Martin the Freshman Basketball team made a good showing in the 1956-57 season even though they were lacking in experience. 53 GETTING THE REBOUND was the assignment for Den¬ nis Sofiak and Dick Clark. Both boys were really on their toes this season in the rebounding and field goal department. A NEAT TAP by Steve Kukoy netted Wallace two points during the Adams game. Even though Steve lacks the experience he should be very important to next year ' s ball club. DICK CLARK jumps for a rebound while Bob Basin and Bill McDonald look on. All three will be returning lettermen next year, and should help the team during the season and sectional play. 54 ALMOST BLOCKED, Dick Clark pumps in another of his jump shots. Dick was a high point man this season. BOB HORAN calls for a pass, which turned out to be o successful maneuver during the game Bob, for play¬ ing first year varsity proved to be a very big help to the team ' s record. FIGHTING FOR A REBOUND are Dick Clark, Dennis Sofiak and an unidentified Adams player. This plus many others during the season helped Walloce to many of its victories.

Winning or losing, these girls loyally back our team, never losing confidence in the boys ' ability. With their fighting spirit they cannot help but instill in the fcrowd and the team an energy and spirit which illustrates the fine sportsmanship and school spirit of Lew Wallace. The cheerleaders are under the sponsorship and training of Miss Angela Hannagan. (left to right) J. Perrotta, A. Stilino- vich, I. Nicksich, J. Rout, J. Reed, C.

The association offers girls an opportunity to enter the sports world usually conceded to boys. The girls may de¬ velop their skills by participating in such sports as swim¬ ming, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. The promotion of good sportsmanship is one of the main purposes of the G.A.A. To accomplish this, the associ¬ ation holds sportsday programs with other schools. Teams are also formed within the association and tournaments are held between teams. Social activities as well as sports are important in G.A.A. The annual initiation ceremonies are well known around school. Other events are the Christmas potluck, the G.A.A. banquet, a beach party, and matinee dances. Officers for this year were Carol Berns, president; Dar¬ lene Sendre, vice president; Judy Zander, secretary; and Pat Coady, treasurer. Miss Mary Sharp sponsors the association. B. Szabo, E.

They are al¬ ways willing to offer their help, whether it be for homework or to help us solve an emotional, or a social problem. In help¬ ing us grow, they have helped us to live and learn. They are sensitive to our changing moods. They know when silence soothes, and when laughter is the best medicine. With them we have argued, agreed, cried, and laughed. Some of their charac¬ teristics have become a definite part of us. They are important pieces in the puz¬ zle of our school life and we love them. Mam , Jlelp, Pave Assistant Principal, VIRGIL KRAMPE and Principal, FLOYD ASHER. To the administrative groups pictured on this page, we wish to express our appreciation for the opportunity they have given us to live and learn. Always willing to cope with our problems, Mr. Asher, our principal, and Mr. Krampe, assistant principal, are to be praised for the excellent guidance that they have given us. We are deeply indebted to them. Our new superintendent and his assistants are striving to give us opportunities for a better education. They, with the Board of Education, give us great hopes for the future. Superintendent, DR. ALDEN H. BLANKENSHIP and Assistant Superintendent, DR. HAROLD KAISER. BOARD OF EDUCATION: CHRIS N.

They started the year by electing as their officers Tom Magnetti, president; Diane Novosel, vice president; Eleanor Buzuvis, secretary; and Jo Ann Hadberg, treasurer. At the first class meeting the Student Council presented a program depicting high school life and its extracurricular activities. The busiest week of all was Freshman Week, spon¬ sored by the Girls ' Club. During this week, girls became Big and Little Sisters and attended the Sock Dance. The next big affair on the calendar was the Freshman Dance. This was a big success. Another big event for the Freshmen was the presentation of their play, THE NIGHT OF JANUARY 16th. As the year draws to a close, we find these Freshmen looking not backward, but forward to the three wonderful years that lie ahead. Karen Alexander Dale Allen Marilyn Amide!

Wwik, UJosik, And MoAe UJwik The selections of Charles Yelusich as president, Judy Perrotta as vice president, Martha Melvin as secretary and Sue Renner as tre asurer started the sophomore year just right for the class of ' 59. Planning and preparation made the sophomore dance, MARDI GRAS, a festive occasion. A gala time was had by all. Many meetings were held between members of the ring committee, sponsors, and representatives from various companies before a choice satisfactory to the majority of the class was reached. The day the sophomores ordered their class rings was certainly an exciting one. They became interested in finding out everything they could about themselves as they wrote their autobiographies. They also read SILAS MARNER and proved geometry theorems. Their sophomore year was a busy and difficult one. They displayed competence, reliability, and sound judg¬ ment, which made it possible for them to overcome obsta¬ cles and go on to the second half of their high school years. 79 Gerrie Adams Peggy Aimutis Dennis Akers Connie Alexander Jack Alvarez Albert Anderson Robert Anderson Larry Andrews Adolph Anselmo Bonnie Armes Cecilia Arras Elizabeth Auguano Margaret Auguano Merle Auguano Ronald Auxier Margaret Babich Louis Bahr Bernard Bakaitis Kelly Boll Joe Ballarino Ethel Ban Audrey Bartman Ed Bartman Ron Bartman John Basinski Douglas Bastion George Batcha Theresa Bauer Nancy Berglund Roy Bergstrom Bob Bianco Jane Bielewicz Bill Bielfeldt Leonard Biro Doris Black Dan Blake Mathew Blazevich Carol Bobik Georgia Bobik Jean Bobik John Bobor Ken Boehlke John Bogash Martha Bower Ronald Bowie Robert Boyle Michael Boyles Richard Briski Sandra Broski Ronald Brown George Brugos Pot Bruno Judy Bulza Helen Buncich John Buncich Angela Comarota Judy Cardinale Joanne Carson Richard Chavez Tom Chelle Pat Chlopek Kiki Christoff James Clark 80 Eileen Coady Barbara Cochran Barbara Coffman Carole Cooke Dora Crane Sandra Creason Armalinda Dal Pra Betty Dalrymple Judy Davies Larry Deckter Dan De Vault Carol Dibble Labrine Dimos Dwight Dombrowski Matthew Dorin Don Dornburg Vonnie Downey Pat Dudek Daniel Duich Elizabeth Dunda Marjorie Duteau George Eckert Rosemary Elibasich Adeline Elkins Mary Anne Elko Kathy Ellis Barbara Emery Sandra Emery Carol Eviosic George Fage Charles Fagen Jean Farkas Fred Fesko Everett Fisher Michael Fronkovich Joan Frederick Beverly Fulton Betty Gobriel Merri Gannon Judy Gave Barbara Geisen Pat Gillis Benay Goad Gloria Gob bie Carol Golbesky Reid Goldie Valerie Goluch Phyllis Gordon Bill Gornik Alena Grecco Tom Green Bob Greenboum Gerrie Gregorczyk Jerry Grennes Barbara Grubar Pat Gruenberg Gloria Guess John Gusan Rosemary Haberkorn Bill Haddix Roy Haddix Pat Haluska Jeanne Hansen ifi a ' r l -v f r ' HJi « on wilf Valjean Harker Beverly Harris Lynda Hartsock Bobbe Hattabaugh Beverly Havens Pauline Healy Don Heater Gerry Hiner Susan Hodges Carolyn Hodurski Carol Holden Charles Hollopeter Chuck Holm Bob Holt John Horbach Pat Hoyle Carol Ihle Jerold Imboden Jeannette Jakob Paul Jasin Brenda Jeffries Peter Jelusich Carol Johnson Tom Johnson Jerry Jonak Laura Jonushaitis Lynne Jordan Dolores Kacir Le Roy Kaiser Judy Kaminski Karen Kaminski Jo Ann Kilgore Frances Kisylia Florence Klescewski Richard Klus Shirley Kobza Judy Kocevar Jean Koldus Sylvia Konicke Bob Kovach Janet Kozenchik Chalene Kozrowski Josephine Krchel Joan Kuchinsky Robert Kujaca Betty Kupka Larry Labash Sandra La Buda Lorraine Labus Rosemary Loco John Lahart Barbara La Mastus Delores Lash Rosemary Lashenick Pat Lasky Jorene Layzod Pat Leonard Georgette Leuca Chuck Lobody George Lobody Judy Lobody Philip lobsinger Leonard Lodovisi 82 Edith Loechner Margaret Loechner Diane Loomis Dennis Luck Michele McCorthy Bill McDonald Carolyn McHargue Marian McKinney Walter McLaughlin Michael Mackanos Jane MacLennan Phillip Magdich Marianne Magura Amanda Manoni Phyllis Mansfield Merle Mantz Tom Marconi Pat Marczewski Bob Marshall Janice Marshal l Ann Martin Rita Massey Anthony Matzueff John Maxin Cliff Maxwell Carolyn Mayer Martha Melvin Dave Metherd William Michaels Marcellene Michalski Rich Mihal George Miklos Phyllis Miller Sharon Mills Artie Milteer John Mitchell Xenia Mitrovich Hortensia Monterrubio Miriam Moore Janie Morgano Kitty Mrzlok Dave Mucci Joe Mudry Jerald Mummey Judy Mummey Pat Murphy Jim Murray Ronald Mustari Richard Myer Jerry Myers Sharon Myers Joe Nahod Richard Namovich Ed Naspinski John Neis Ron Nestor Irene Nicksich Tony Nikolich Annette Novak Pete Nowacki Margie Obadge Anice Odum Kathleen Offineer 83 Judy Palmer Mike Panich Phillip Paris Bob Pavletic Tom Pavletic Joe Pavletich Ronald Pearson Arnold Pederson Cheryl Pederson Judith Perrotta Mary Peterson Scott Piet Veronica Pillman Karen Pittington David Plummer Bruce Polizotto Ken Powers Richard Pozenovich Sandra Predaina Phillip Price Bill Quilling Charieen Radinsky Marilyn Randon Dale Range Joy Reed Sue Renner Chuck Rhodes Gabriel Rodenas Peter Romanyak Judy Rout Virginia Rowe Paul Ruschak Bernard Sample Edward Sample Phyllis Sansone Maria Sarandy David Sasak Tom Scecino Fred Schenher Sam Schiralli Billie Schmick John Schnabel Judy Schutz Harold F.

At Jtalt With only one more year to go, the class of 1958 de¬ cided to give the boys the responsibility of leading them through their first year as upperclassmen. They chose Den¬ nis Sofiak, Paul Jenkins, Preston Figge, and Ken Rose as president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. Clgssroom headaches were caused by the reading of GIANTS IN THE EARTH and that most dreaded assignment of all — the term topic. An important day in the eyes of all juniors is the day of the distribution of their class rings, and this year ' s class was no exception. The most anticipated social event of their year was the Prom. On April 26, as they danced to the music of Mickey Isley ' s band, they decided that their hard work and planning had been well worth the effort. With these pleasant memories behind them, the juniors are now looking forward to the last but best year of all — their senior year. 87 Robert Aeschliman Wilma Agee Jerrie Anderson Jim Audo John Austin Dean Baboo Janet Babich Jim Baker Jack Barath Sarah Barker Ray Barley Larry Barlock Ida Baseggio Bob Bazin Carol Bednash George Bekas Richard Bellich Dolores Bennett Nancy Berlien Larry Bess Gerald Black Olivia Boatright Anthony Bodo Jim Bradach Charles Bratina Jim Bridenthall Mollie Brown Tom Brueckheimer Charles Bryniarski Robert Buchko Arlene Bulza Raymond Bumbales Melinda Burcham Fairlyn Burleson Beverly Burton Jim Camarata Susan Chnupa Dick Clark Pat Coady Nick Cominos Wesley Crist David Cuddington Bob Czarnecki Louise Deckter Carol DeJarnett Sue Delich Bonnie DePra Terry Devaney 88 Nancy DeVilliers Jim Dost Gladys Dubroja Leona Dufresne Mary Durkin Bill Edwards Dorothy Eisenhauer Holly Eisenhauer Bob Eisner Suzanne Emery Jim Emmett Judy Epps John Erdelac Gerald Erdei Sharon Eyears Robert Falatic Ruthann Falatic Donna Forber Leonard Fattore Annamae Ferjo Preston Figge Anne Flynn Pat Gallagher Charles Gallion Mary Gifford Yvonne Gladdis Sharon Glivar Larry Goldberg James Greco Edith Green Joyce Gritton Margoret Grogan Marilyn Gustafson Dora Hansen John Harkness Lorraine Henry Joel Hersch Joanne Hirchak Mary Ann Horan Joe Howell Lois Huck Sharon Huffman Judy Ivancevich Bill Jaclack John Jager Mary Rose Jager Carol Janda Ann Janjecic 89 90 Paul Jenkins Glynda Johnson Marjorie Johnson Romal Jones Carol Kacir Delores Kapela Joyce Kennett Sally Kiefer Jim Kirtland Beverly Knapp Merton Knapp Peter Knoess Wilma Knoop Tom Konicke Bill Konzelman Beverly Kos Tom Koscho Dick Koval John Kozar Janet Krantz Albert Krol Steve Kukoy Eleanore Kupka Andrew Kurdelak Judy Layzod Mike Lazaro Anthony Leone Gus Leontoras Jim Ligocki Judy Lipshulch David Lloyd Joe Loscaro Jerry Lough Lydia Lyon Janice MacGowan Tarry Mackanos Carol Mackley Sandra Magdich Jeanette Magdos Peggy Mahorney Margaret Marcotte Mike Marlow Tom Marszalek Bob Martin Maurice Massa Nancy McGinnis Joe Melnik Bill Melvin Geraldine Mocan Sara Murawski George Nomovich Betty Nix Marlene Nixon Robert Nolen Don Notaro Martin Novosel George Odrshoo Judy Olson Judy Oreskovic Magdaline Ornelas Tom Ornelas Tom Owens Raymond Pall Rosalie Pampalone Lois Patrizi Judy Pavich Mike PavlofF Keith Pearman Jean Petro Charlene Petriskey Louise Petriskey Victoria Petrusha Don Phillips Leanne Phillips Marjorie Phillips Newell Phillips Gerry Pilla Frank Pirillo Joe Plesac Angeline Polizzotto Leonard Posovac Judy Pritchard Dolores Radulovich Frank Radwan George Rakich Hilke Raschke Suzanne Reese Roberta Regal Jack Rendel Robert Reynolds Frank Richardson Linda Richiger Peter Rizzo Margaret Rondinelli Kenneth Rose Richard Rose ft 91 Henry Roskowski Barbara Roth Mike Rukavina Dorothy Rzepka Mary Lou Rzepka Stanley Saliwonczyk Vincy Sannicola Rosemary Sarich Bill Sarpos Richard Sorudy Victor Schiralli Gary Schneider Mary Schnitzler Charlotte Schulties Dennis Schwartz Geraldine Sebo Roger Seils Darlene Sendre Alberta Setlak Jeanette Setlak Patricia Shay Tom Shay Ron Sheridan Sandra Sherman Bob Shinovich Alexandra Simion Norman Smith Charles Snyder Dennis Sofiak Sam Sorbello Esther Splittgerber Joe Stanton Sharon Stech Nick StefFus Joyce Stilinovich Dale Stimack Margaret Stinar Sharon Sulich Phyllis Thomas Ronald Thomas John Tomich Gerald Troxell Charlene Uskert Ted Urbanski Rosemary Valencia Carl Vernio Barbara Vicion Mary Ann Vigna 92 Barbara Vitalone Wesley Vogt Jim Vonderhaar Rose Vukobratic Nancy Worren Tom Whiteman Karen Winrotte Joyce Wise Karen Wolf Diane Woodville Carolyn Yakubec Roberta Yamtich Nancy Ann Yanta Diane Yates Tamara Yermack Josephine Zanoni Loretta Zapinski Joyce Zaviski Susan Zezule Janice Zubrik Wallace ' lopA tate Wilk $3700.69 HOWARD FISHER, CO-CHAIRMAN of the Lew Wallace Polio Committee is accompanied by a policeman as he picks up some of the money that came to a total of $3,700.69. EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER was chilly, Anice Odum and Bonnie Armes kept busy selling peanuts to the people shopping in Glen Park. THE SIGN ON the truck spoke for itself as the truck drove around distributing peanuts and people for the Teenage Polio Drive on January 19.

Jhcj,U School jbfoiw- %■ G! Gl de The class of 1957 started its freshman year by electing Don Hannah, president; Jay Moore, vice presi¬ dent; Jackie Mattingly, secretary; and Carolyn Dawson, treasurer. The freshman play, CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN, was labeled the best ever, and our dance, SPRING FANTASY, was enjoyed by all who attended. Our sophomore year began in a whirl of geometry, SILAS MARNER and autobiographies. Under the capable leadership of Howard Fisher, president; Irma Smoot, vice president; Don Hannah, secretary; and Judy Smith, treasurer, the class of ' 57 moved closer to our goal. We celebrated the completion of our second year in high school by taking part in the sophomore dance, BOOGIE BOUNCE. As juniors, we chose as our officers, Rich Bianco, president; Rochelle Robbins, vice president; Janet Myers, secretary; and Carolyn Dawson, treasurer. These officers assumed the responsibility of planning the Prom. By working with other members of our class and members of the senior class, they helped make the Prom a huge success. Among our fondest memories as seniors will be those of the Washington Trip: memories of being strand¬ ed on the Chesapeake Bay, climbing to the top of the Washington Monument and having three meals of ham in a row. During Homecoming celebrations, Jackie Mattingly was chosen as our Homecoming Queen and reigned with her attendants and court over the festivities. Our senior class meetings and the Senior Reception made us realize how little time remained. We ordered calling cards and invitations, told the office staff how we wanted our names on our diplomas and were meas¬ ured for caps and gowns. Now graduation day is almost here. As we walk across the stage to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance, we will realize that we have come to the end of our high school days and the beginning of life in an adult world. Our years in high school have provided us with many opportunities to live and learn. 95 Sharon Alger Judy Ambrose Pauline Andrey Fritz E.
