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

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
