Lew Wallace High School - Quill and Blade Yearbook (Gary, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 122 of the 1958 volume:

THE 1958 QUILL AND BLADE LEW WALLACE HIGH SCHOOL GARY, INDIANA Presented by the Publications Staff THE SPIRIT OF LEW WALLACE The name Lew Wallace was chosen for our school in honor of the distinguished general who is remembered as the author of Ben Hur and many other books. By popular vote of the students attending the Forty-fifth Avenue Grade School in 1926, the official change in name was made. The enrollment at that time was 502; today we have 3097 students in our school. Through the co-operation of General Wallace ' s grand¬ son and the Wallace family, our school adopted the crest of the Wallace family. This crest was created during one of the bloodiest Scotch wars when William Wallace, serv¬ ing under Robert Bruce, led an attempt to prevent the British from gaining control of Scotland and the throne. The crest consisted of the figure of an upraised lion representing strength, a lifted hand to represent peace, an ostrich for beauty with a horseshoe in its mouth for good luck, and thistles representing Scotland. To complete the crest, the Latin motto, Sperandum est, meaning One must hope, was inscribed above the ostrich. The Publications Staff is proud to present the 1958 Quill and Blade dedicated to: The Spirit of Lew Wallace The Spirit of Learning The Spirit of Working Together The Spirit of Teamwork Pages 4-15 Pages 16-67 Pages 68-93 Pages 94-112 3 Gathered around the piano with their sponsor, Miss Lorain Shaffer, are members of the Lewettes.

ENGAGING IN 4 Some of the happiest moments of our lives have been spent while participating in school affairs. Working and having fun together have given us an opportunity to get acquainted with each other. Musical organizations such as the Lewettes have helped us to appreciate music. They participate in musical events for school and social affairs. Our parents also have helped to keep our school spirit alive, especially when they joined with our teachers to organize the PTA ' s annual Fall Festival. This was the occasion for the annual Faculty Play. We will probably never forget the many conversions of the school gym into seventh heaven for those dreamy dances such as the Inaugural Ball and Washington ' s Ball. Through our many activities, we have learned to work together and to be tolerant and more understanding toward those who do not share our own points of view. Our activities help us keep alive the spirit of Lew Wallace. Looking as if they are in seventh heaven ore Pat Coady and Tom Owens at the annual Inaugural Ball. v. SCHOOL AFFAIRS Death to you, thou villian! threatens Mr. R. Hills to Mr. R Anderson as Mrs. L. Olson, Miss G. Eckert, and Mrs. L. Roberts look on during the faculty play. This is the highlight of th© P.T.A. Fall Festival. FACING NEW Time out from dancing at the Sock Hop is taken by Donna Wilden, Sharon Eyears, Marian Erdelac, Sandra Magdich, Pamela Crnkovich, Sandra Norton, Gerry Pilla, and Marie Morganelli. Edee Green and Jim Baker wonder which college they will be attending this fall, as they look at various pennants which were on display for College Day. Going steady is a new experience shared by George Eckert and Gerry Gregorczyk. 6 EXPERIENCES We find that our growing up is a process of meeting new experiences and learning to cope with them. Conferences with our assistant prin¬ cipal, Mr. Lawrence Derthick, help to pave the way to a successful high-school career. Through our College Day conferences many of us choose our future college. The spirit of Lew Wallace is noted in our class- rings, for the crest of our school and our school colors are embossed on them. Seniors look forward to Washington, D.C. and the senior trip—a trip that gives each group a sense of unity. One of the major highlights of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, made us realize that the doors to our high school years are slowly closing, never to be opened again. We discover that we have enjoyed these new experiences and the memories are ours. The changing of the guard at the k Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is one of the outstanding sights on the Washington Trip. Coke-tail parties help with the anticipation of a wonderful time at the Prom. Attending one such party are Dennis Schwartz, Darlene Sendre, Martin Novosel, and Yvonne Stazinski. (Courtesy of Frank ' s Store for Men.) 7 A great deal of our time after school is spent participating in the great variety of clubs and activities that our school offers. At times, many students are found long after the last bell, making posters or decorations for various dances and activities sponsored by school organizations. The Publications Staff often stayed after school to work on such projects as writing the Daily Bulletin or preparing class pictures for distribution. The members of Auxilia put in many extra hours to keep the Senior Library in order each day. The F.T.A. sold potato chips twice a week, furnishing after-school snacks. To make our school better, many students give up some leisure moments to work after school. These behind-the-scene workers receive little credit for the work they do, but they keep our school spirit alive. WORKING Sue Wagner, Sylvia Lincoln, Jeanne Zaviski, ond Phyllis Thomas are busily working on posters to help publicize a school event. The Publications mascot, Wally, overlooks Martha Melvin, Lois Patrizi, Wilma Knoop, Pat Marczewski, Pat Gruenberg, and Louise Deckter as they sort 3059 packages of Indiana School Pictures for distribution. 8 Laura Jonushaitis and Judy Palmer, members of Auxilia, spend many hours before school serving the patrons of the Senior Library. AFTER SCHOOL As one of their main projects of the year, the F.T.A. sold potato chips after school on Tuesday and Thursday. Character is higher than intellect is the theme of many Wallace activities. This fa¬ mous quotation which is inscribed on the proscenium arch in the auditorium, is in full view at every class meeting and auditorium program, and helps us realize that we are in school to develop many traits of character and personality as well as those of scholar¬ ship. Pep meetings bring the student body to¬ gether and create a friendly atmosphere. They are our means of letting the team know we are backing them. We learn to be good housekeepers by keeping our lockers neat. Everything we do is a part of character training which in turn is a part of the spirit of Lew Wallace. The seniors attend one of their last class meet¬ ings as the Class of 1958 in the main auditorium. BUILDING INDIVIDUAL Boys aren ' t the only ones who play basketball around Lew Wallace. Jeanne Zaviski, Gerrie Adams, Phyllis Gordon, Edee Green, and Holly Eisenhauer prove this during a GAA practice. Freshmen Judy Mehok and Sharon Sofiak learn a lesson in tidiness from seniors Betty Nix and Barbara Vician, experts at keeping a clean locker. KEEPING Readers for the Vesper services, held the Sunday before Christmas, were Paul Jen¬ kins and Janice Zubrik. SCHOOL TRADITIONS Through the years the traditions that are characteristic of our school have been established. Each morning and evening when our country ' s flag is raised and lowered, the entire school body stands facing the flag, while the bugle is sounded. In the fall, our Home¬ coming Week is climaxed with the crowning of the Home¬ coming Queen. On the night of September 27 the ceremony was held before a crowd of 4500 at Gilroy Stadium. The Christmas season was solemnly observed with the Vesper services that played an important part in creating the true Christmas spirit. Baccalaureate services will be held for the Senior class on Sunday, June 1. The solemnity of these services typify the customs and traditions which have played an important part in our school lives and have preserved the spirit of Lew Wallace. A traditional scene is the raising of the flag by R.O.T.C. members, Frank Richardson, Bud Sample and Ed Sample. The Senior Class of 1958 practice for the religious service that precedes their graduation. Baccalaureate will be held June 1. Tears of joy were shed by Sandra Magdich as she was crowned Homecoming Queen by last year ' s queen, Jackie Mattingly. Golly! We have a lot of English homework tonight! and Are you doing anything Saturday night? are remarks often heard after the last bell rings and the usual congre¬ gation forms at the north door at 3:20 and 4:20 on school days. Our leisure time means a get-together at a friend ' s house after school or on a Saturday night. Dating, study¬ ing, or tinkering with a hot-rod are favorite pastimes of many Wallacites. Many new fads were seen this year. The popular Shetland sweaters of the 30 ' s were pulled out of the attic, reversible skirts became a must, and the ever-popular saddle shoes were trampled on by the new gumdrop shoes. But all our afterschool hours weren ' t spent socially. Much of our time was given to thoughts of the future and the accomplishments of scientists. The world ' s first satellite, Sputnik, closely followed by the Explorer gave us something to ponder. This was the year we became space conscious and began planning our trip into outerspace. One of the favorite pastimes of the boys is tinkering with their cars. Norman Smith ond Harold Scott both belong to local hot-rod clubs. ENJOYING LEISURE HOURS Jim Wegmon and Karen Philipps show off the new fads for the year while stopping between classes for a chat. 14 Gathered together for a snack at a friend ' s house are Roberta Bulza, Mary Ann Horan, Wilma Knoop, Arlene Bulza, and Louise Deckter. A quiet evening around the fireside is shared by Jim Emmett, Gayle Smith, Mary Schnitzler, and Larry Barlock. THE SPIRIT OF LEARNING These are the people we meet every day — the ones we shall always remember. In learning and work- ing together we find that our highest goals are reached by co-operating with others. Our administration and faculty spend many val¬ uable hours helping us solve our problems, both in and out of school. With these people we have laughed and cried in the drama of our high school life. They have created the atmosphere and they have helped to make the spirit of Lew Wallace mean a great deal to us. Here, too, are our friends. Well never forget the laughs and troubles we went through together when we look at them in the years to come. With them we have spent the happiest years of our lives in building the spirit of Lew Wallace. 17 Lawrence Derthick, assistant principal Floyd Asher, principal Virgil Krampe, assistant principal THOSE WHO HAVE We would like to express our sincere appreci¬ ation to the people pictured on this page for the excellent help they have given us toward pre¬ serving the spirit of Lew Wallace.

Looking back, we realize that we have done many wonderful things in the past four years. Our freshman year began with the girls actively participating in Freshman Week, while the boys sought positions on the freshman athletic teams. Also that fall, we elected all boys as our first class officers. The honors went to Jerry Brown, president; Bill Melvin, vice-president; Byron Broome, secretary; and Jim Emmett, treasurer. Our first class dance, Fresh Jam was held late in January. We found many actors and actresses in our class when the Freshman Play Belles on Their Toes was presented. Soon we realized that we were no longer green freshmen, but unknown sophomores. We didn ' t remain unknown for long, for we entered the limelight when, for the first time at Lew Wallace, two boys tied for the office of class president. The co-presidents, Larry Barlock and Dick Clark, headed our sophomore class with the aid of Leanne Phillips, vice- president; Dora Hansen, secretary; and Steve Kukoy, treasurer. We found that our sophomore year was the most difficult academically with Silas Marner and our autobiographies, but we found time to have our sophomore party, Rhythm V Blues. Finally we were upperclassmen! The class rings that we received at the beginning of our junior year signified that we would be taking on the responsibilities of school leader¬ ship. Again we chose boys to guide us through the year. Those selected were Dennis Sofiak, president; Paul Jenkins, vice-president; Preston Figge, secretary; and Ken Rose, treasurer. Two main projects that we had to complete before we could be seniors were the reading of Giants in the Earth and the writing of a term topic. The grandest part of our junior year was the beautiful Junior-Senior Prom. For our last year we selected Maurice Massa to lead the Senior Class of 1958. To assist him were Judy Olson, vice-president; Linda Richiger, secretary; and Dennis Schwartz, treasurer. We found that many of our classmates were chosen to lead a school club, to become a star athlete, a homecoming queen, and a Polio Drive chairman. With our eyes to the future we took the S.Q.T. Test, and then 145 seniors left for the annual Washington Trip. Now we are ready for Baccalaureate and Commencement. Then we will be among the alumni of Wallace. We will take with us fond memories of the spirit of Lew Wallace. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President MAURICE MASSA Vice President .... JUDY OLSON Secretary.LINDA RICHIGER Treasurer ....

In September 1955, we entered Lew Wal¬ lace High School as freshmen. Our first major decision was choosing class officers. We did well in naming as president, Bruce Polizotto; vice-presi¬ dent, Martha Melvin; secretary, Ed Stark; and treasurer, Malcolm Stinson. Among our activities were the Freshman Party, WINTER WONDERLAND, and the Freshman Play, JUNE MAD. When we were sophomores, we elected Chuck Yelusich, president; Judy Perrotta, vice-president; Sue Renner, secre¬ tary; and Martha Melvin, treasurer. At our sophomore party, Beverly Fulton and Dwight Dombrowski were chosen as king and queen of the Mardi Gras, our sophomore theme. Our school work that year held many new things which well always remember - geometry, Silas Marner, and the writing of our autobiographies. This year we began by electing John Skoro as president; Irene Nicksich as vice-president; Ken Boehlke as secretary; and Judy Kocevar as treasurer. We received our class rings in the early fall and this event signified that we were upperclassmen. Our Prom, which was quite a bit of work for a few, but fun for many, will be remembered through the years. It was held May 16 at the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Gary. These events, which are but memories now, have led to but one thing — our senior year!

Just two seemingly short years ago, we, the Class of ' 60, entered high school and began working for that ever important diploma and graduation. As freshmen, we selected Tom Magnetti to lead us a presi¬ dent. Assisting Tom were Diane Novosel as vice-president, Joanne Hadberg as secretary, and Eleanor Buzuvis as treasurer. The talent of our class was discovered when THE NIGHT OF JANUARY 16th, the Freshman Play, was presented. Everyone worked hard to make the Freshman Party a success, and a wonderful time was had by all who attended. We are no longer green Freshies, but neither are we upperclassmen. We are upper-lowerclassmen. Electing Mark Pilla as president, Caryl Sofiak as vice- president, Jackie Dille as secretary, and Roberta Bulza as trea¬ surer was an important step in starting our Sophomore year off the right way. These officers have led us through the year capably and efficiently. This past year we have struggled through four solids, passed geometry, read Silas Marner, and written our auto¬ biographies. The year was highlighted by our Sophomore Party, Snowflake Swirl. To complete the year, we ordered our class- rings, which meant that we were getting closer and closer to becoming upperclassmen. With all these things behind us, we look forward to be¬ coming upperclassmen and accomplishing many new and more important things.

Our play, CURTAIN GOING UP, set the stage for our high school life. We were recognized as the largest class, numbering 481, entering Lew Wallace in search of knowledge. Our official induction into high school was experienced during Freshman Week. The girls found a friend in their big sister while the boys catered to the upperclassmen. Shortly after Freshman Week, the Class of ' 61 elected Bill Cieadlo as president. Sue Wagner as vice-president, Mary Ballarino as secretary, and Karen Mikulich as treasurer.

clubs and other extra-curricular activities offers to us the opportunity of co-operating with friends while doing constructive work and gives us the chance to create new friendships. There are many hours spent after school by students and teachers to better both the community and the school. Through the time spent together, we learn to work with and for others. Exciting things often take place during the year in the clubs. Each club has its special speakers and discussions about affairs pertaining to the ideals of the club. Numerous social events and field trips are held each year also. So much of the school life is lost if one misses the ex¬ perience of belonging to some club or organization. When the students work together in close harmony, they find that they, too, are helping to build the spirit of Lew Wallace. The Code of Ethics has been the main objective of the Student Council this year. Proofreading the Code are Jane MacLennan; Bill Forgey; Dora Hansen, chairman; and Pat Coady. Student Council officers — Dora Hansen, Ken Rose, Mary Schnitzler, and Larry Barlock — help on unidentified Wallace player to stamp out those Horsemen. This deed helped promote school spirit during the football season. The grand march of the Inaugural Ball led by the president and vice-president of the Student Council and their dates, was the perfect time to see everyone and say hello. The Ball was given December 27, and was the social highlight for many students during the Christmas season. Ken Clemens and Bill Forgey have read many suggestions during their two years of work with the suggestion box. Here they are making a suggestion to the students who should make more use of the sugges¬ tion box. Beneath a canopy of white, these couples enjoyed the In¬ augural Ball, especially after rushing from one house to another on a snow-studded night attending coke-toil parties. 1st row: K. Rose, D.

Marczewski WE GIVE VOICE TO OUR OPINIONS The Student Council, the heart of our school govern¬ ment, studies various school problems and they often find an effective solution. At the beginning of the school year, the Council sponsored Homecoming Week, Freshman Orientation, and the thirty-first annual Inaugration ceremony. All class officers and Council officers were sworn into office at this time. During the Christmas season, the Council provided a tree for the Auditorium alcove, gave three baskets of food to needy families, and sponsored one of the biggest events of the year, the Inaugural Ball, on December 27. The main project of the Council this year was the writing of a Code of Ethics for Wallace students. Second semester projects included the S.O.S. Human¬ ity Drive and the annual Activity Day program in the auditorium, at which time awards were presented to students who had achieved high honors in their school work. This year ' s officers were: Larry Barlock, president; Ken Rose, vice-president; Dora Hansen, secretary; and Mary Schnitzler, treasurer. Mr. William Vorwald sponsors the organization. Ken Rose, vice-president; Larry Barlock, president; Mary Schnitz¬ ler, treasurer; Dora Hansen, secretary. Eat, drink, and be merry was the slogan of these girls at the annual Girls ' Club Birthday Potluck. As Eileen Coady prepares to cut the cake, Carole Mattingly, Sue Modges, Carol Golbesky, and Sarah Flynn wait for their feast. As Linda Richiger appears to be stranded in the branches of the Christmas tree, her friends go right on about the business of decorating it. The corsage sale is one of the main projects for the year. Yvonne Nickovich, Sandra Panchak, Melanie Rzepka, Judy Jelusich, Maria Rahutis, and Mary Lou Rzepka foster their artistic abilities by making corsages. Girls ' Club president.

These young men who join the R.O.T.C. are a step ahead when they enter the service. The training that they receive stresses courtesy, responsibility, citizenship, and leadership which will be invaluable to them later in life. R.O.T.C. members are required to be American citizens, fourteen years of age, and high school students. Besides raising and lowering our school flag, the R.O.T.C. rifle team competed this year in the 5th Army Trophy Match against the R.O.T.C.

What boy wouldn ' t like to have a job in the exciting and often glamorous field of photography? Boys wanting a future in this interesting occupation enroll in photo¬ graphy, thus gaining valuable experience. The boys use their acauired skills of setting up pictures and developing them when they take all of the pictures of the Quill and Blade and the Philosopher. Another service of the photography class is taking pictures at couple dances. The proceeds help purchase photography equipment. Boys enrolled in Audio-Visual provide the services necessary for showing educa¬ tional movies to classes. Another activity of the class is to suggest and select new movies which would add interest to the class and help the students to understand a subject better. Learning how to operate and care for A.V. equipment is a basic part of this class. Mr. George Strimbu is in charge of both classes. 1st Row: R. Bergstrom, B. Engelien 2nd Row: B. Sample, J.

Members of Photography who wish to have a better understanding of the field of photo¬ graphy - its history and functions - are eligible to join. Field trips to the Art Institute with cameras con¬ stituted the bulk of this year ' s activities. Their greatest service was taking pictures for both the Annual and Philosopher. The first officers of the new club were Ed Sample, president; Charles Bryniarski, vice-president; Gerry Pilla, secretary; and Jane MacLenna, treasurer. The Camera Club is under the sponsorship of Mr. George Strimbu. FLASH! MUTNIK DOG HEARD Lew Wallace ' s radio station, W.G.V.E. is located behind the ON THE AIR sign on the first floor. One popular program was the new pop-record show, Platters and Matters, which was produced by radio students. The students who join the broadcasting staff gain experience in public speaking often obtain a radio operator ' s license, and learn the main points of operating a radio station. Programs are presented daily by the class as a part of their curriculum study. W.G.V.E. ' s services to the school are recording educational programs and classical music which may be used in the classrooms. Mr. Lawrence Ventura is in charge of the radio class. C. Snyder, W. Vogt, B.

No matter what goes on, a reporter is around to get the news. This year the Senior Edition, Calling Cards and Invitations sales, and the Student Directory consti¬ tuted a view of the duties of staff members other than reporting the news. Also there were the additional tasks of the Daily Bulletin, News Bureau, and the Student News Board. The four page editors and four copy editors, under the management of Judy Olson were kept busy all year chasing after reporters, getting the news, and making sure that the copy got to the prin¬ ters on time. From 2:20 on, Room 214M is a place of per¬ petual motion. Everyone is constantly scurrying around in order to get his assignments finished on time. As publications advisor, Mrs. Kathryn Welsh spent many hours of her time reading copy to OK it before it reached the printers. The staff ' s mascot, Wally, had his say so about much of the news that was printed. He and the entire staff hope you enjoyed each issue of the Philosopher. Sports: Bill Konzelman. Tarry Mackanos, Phil Magdich, Kent Wilden, Keith Pearman THE PROOF OF A YEAR ' S WORK Clickity - Clack - - ding!! And another page of copy is ready to travel along the long track to help make up this year ' s Annual. When the year started in September, we were faced with the gigantic task of organizing a 112 page yearbook. Foundation plans were laid the pre¬ vious summer at the Annual division of the Indiana University Journalism Workshop. It was at this time that Joyce Zaviski, the 1958 editor, decided that the theme would be the Spirit of Lew Wallace. As soon as the school doors opened September 3, we found ourselves head over heels in work; organizing Picture Day so that every high school student could be pictured in the album section; taking candid shots of the many Wallace activities; and starting the copy that would tell the story of our school. It was hurry, hurry, hurry, as we burned the midnight oil in order to meet our deadlines. Names were checked and double checked to make certain that they were spelled correctly. Everything had to be just right for your 1958 Annual. Finally, the whole story was in the hands of the printer. And the staff finally reached its goal - - another year of activities recorded forever in the Annuals of Lew Wallace. It is now your book, and we hope that you enjoy it.

By playing on a team, a person can develop this quality as well as having an opportunity to promote good sportsmanship. Learning to win, as well as to lose, is a vital factor in character development. Everyone in high school has an opportunity to show his athletic ability and loyalty for his school by participating in sports events. The boys may try for varsity teams while the girls may compete in interschool GAA meets. The support of the student body working as a team plays an important part in determining the outcome of the game. This teamwork and loyalty is an inspiration to the players to put forth the utmost of their ability and it is a consoling factor in the face of defeat. Sports is a healthy, competitive field which truly brings forth in all participants the spirit of teamwork. « 1st Row: M. Povloff, T. Chelle, E. Stark, J. Barath, S. Saliwonczyk, S. Sorbello, R.

Steininger, Coach Lawrence Martin HARDER FIGHTING + HARDER WORKING = BETTER MEN A young team and a new coach provided the Hornet fans with many thrills through-out the season. The coaches and the boys did their best to fill every minute of every game with the kind of excitemeni that only the gridiron can provide. The success of our team can be measured by the unification it brought to a group of young men who were striving for a common goal. The lessons most thoroughly taught were those of taking each game as it came, and to receive victory and defeat in the same light. Coach Black and Coach Martin can be proud of a job well done when they look at the men of the 1957 Hornet Varsity Football Squad. Mgrs.: T. Green, K. Pearman We They Football-O-Rama Emerson 0 13 S.

A GAME, A DANCE, AND A QUEEN One of the most anxiously awaited and important events of the school year is Homecoming. This year, the festivities started with the nomination of seniors, Sandra Magdich, Margaret Rondinelli, Mary Schnitzler, Darlene Sendre, and Joyce Zaviski as candi¬ dates for Homecoming Queen. During the half-time ceremonies of the Wallace- Emerson game, Jackie Mattingly, the 1956 Homecoming Queen, relinquished her crown to the new queen. It was a tense moment as she walked behind the candi¬ dates. There was a general uproar of yells and screams as she placed the crown on Sandra Magdich, along with the many tears of happiness. Our enthusiasm was not dampered, although the Golden Tornadoes defeated our Hornets 33-19 in rain- soaked Gilroy Stadium. After the game we returned to Wallace where we concluded a week of fun and cele¬ bration at the largest stag dance in the history of our school with over 800 loyal fans attending. C. Golbesky, M.

Two schools in Gary support golf teams, but traveling to neighboring cities, we have found enough competition to satisfy our thirst. A young golf aspirant can find all the practice and attention desired simply by showing his handy work with the irons, woods, and putters. Breast Stroke: C. Palmer Free Style: T. Green, R.

Even today the Olympics put great emphasis on the Marathon run. This is possibly the reasoning behind the running of the cross-country events. Mr. Richard Polk coaches the boys and trains them on fundamentals that will improve their running ability. Cross-country: J. Harkness, L. Barlock, J. Gusan, B. Falatic, R. Pall Sprinters: R.

Typical of the thrills provided was the contest against Whiting in which the Hornets came out on top with a 48-47 tally. Providing tense moments came as naturally to the varsity five as does scoring baskets or snatching rebounds. All in all it can be said that the 1957-58 basketball year at Wallace was a trying and yet an immensely exciting one. AT ITS HEIGHT We They S. B.

It has as its main purpose the promotion of interest in all kinds of sports, in school and in years to follow. The governing body of the organization is the council, consisting of thirteen upperclassmen. The sports schedule is widely varied to meet everyone ' s interest. Beginning in the fall the sports are swimming and softball. Through the winter, basketball, volley¬ ball, and bowling predominate. In the spring more softball and swimming are added. An outstanding feature of the GAA is the opportunity the girls have to partici¬ pate in inter-school activities. There are three or four sport days each year with two or three GAA ' s from other Gary schools. The climax of the school year is the annual camping week-end, held at Indiana Dunes State Park in May. The girls have the opportunity of experiencing out-door life and using to the fullest extent their abilities acquired throughout the school year. At this time, the girls also receive the various awards which are offered for outstanding achievements. Trying to offer a well-balanced program during the year helps to achieve our highest goal. The club was successfully led by Edee Green as president, Darlene Sendre as sports co-ordinator, and Phyllis Thomas as vice-president. Miss Mary Sharp is the GAA sponsor. 1st Row: G. Adams, P.
