Students face “same old grind” as lazy summer ends While the leaves turned golden brown and days were still warm enough for kids to wear shorts, it didn’t seem quite right to be back at school hitting the books. But — school opened as usual, and Wallace’s traditional activities started off with a bang. Freshmen were introduced to Lew Wallace through assemblies. Girls’ Club activities, and the customary hazing, while the upperclassmen continued to meet in the alcove. The annual Football-O-Rama games offi¬ cially opened the athletic season with Terri Kurth reigning as queen. Students continued to go to games, meet at Mac’s afterwards, and then zot and leaf unsuspecting students’ homes. November hosted a hectic activity sched¬ ule for most students. The Girls’ Club “Har¬ vest” Turnabout started off the action. Career and College Day programs were sponsored by the guidance department. A matinee and evening presentation of the smash hit “Love Is” was performed by Mr. Fissinger and the music department. Stu¬ dents and teachers alike were relieved as the Student Council’s Inauguration assembly kicked off a much needed four-day Thanks¬ giving vacation. 20 — Student Life Student Life — 21 1 Junior Stella Hernandez adds the finishing touches to her car for the Homecoming parade. 2 Stan Logan and friends “truck on down” to receive their prize in the decorat¬ ing contest. 3 The fired-up Hornet team bursts through the traditional hoop in antici¬ pation of “scalping the Warriors.” 4 The 1973 Homecoming Court and escorts: Denise Williams, Tom Jones, Regina Todd, Rhenwick Young, Queen Sue Thomas, Bob Dusich, Donna Earle, Pat Loft us, Debbie Stochel, and Larry Wackowski. 5 Sue Thomas reigns as the 1972-73 Football Homecoming Queen. 6 Larry Wackowski and Debbie Stochel anxiously await the start of the halftime festivities. 22 — Student Life Crowds respond to Homecoming floats, beauties, tradition After many years of unorganized parade cancelled bonfires, and general mass com sion, the Student Council rallied its forces to produce a successful Homecoming. The Council’s first step in alleviating past problems was to divide Homecoming activi¬ ties into a two-day celebration with Thurs¬ day evening hosting a pep rally in the gym and a dance featuring “Heavy” in the surge. On Friday, the community-lined Broadway was dazzled by four class floats, 50 decorated cars, the Lew Wallace band, the pom pom girls and five queen candidates as the Home¬ coming parade traveled from 54th Avenue to the capacity-filled Lew Wallace stadium. Halftime ceremonies began as Dave Chi- dester presented five students with five dollar prizes for the best decorated cars in the parade. The junior class won the “Best Float” award for its “Death of the Warriors.” The major suspense culminated as Sue Thomas was crowned Homecoming Queen. Even our 12-0 loss to Bishop Noll didn’t hamper spirits as fans left the stadium to go to Mac’s, Big-Little Sister slumber parties, and other places of celebration. Student Life — 23 1 Classes and everyday pressures are forgotten by the Corner Crowd as they take the opportunity of hour-long lunchtimes to make the great escape from school. 2 The a la carte line offers everyone s favorites for those who don’t want to buy the hot lunch. 3 Kung-Fu, move over! 4 Don Nedberg uses his lunch hour to get a little academic help from a friend before a test. 5 Junior men take time to laugh it up with the gang on fifth lunch hour. 6 Even Las Vegas doesn’t have sharper card sharks than the Wallace cafe¬ teria. 7 Dorothy McClatchy munches on a taffy apple for dessert in the surge area. 8 Lunchtime brings out the romance in everyone. 24 — Student Life Lunchtime activities relieve monotony of school day As the lunch bell rang, students entering the hot lunch line were often caught in a crit¬ ical dilemma resembling a game of Russian Roulette as they chose from daily offerings which included “sea faring” hot dogs, but¬ tered spinach, and crushed cranberry cake. Starving students trying to escape the nutri¬ tionally-balanced entrees stood in the a la carte line waiting for cold french fries, greasy barbeques or banana and peanut butter sandwiches. Lunch trays cleared away, local card sharks broke out the decks, and games of Pinochle, Tonk, and Blitz commenced. Groups of students jammed the surge area to stand around with friends, buy tickets for school events, or hastle the hallway matron. Students with cars crowded into Mac’s for the same “appetizing” food day after day, and those without wheels retreated to Burger King, Chuck Wheeler’s, or the corner store. Lunchtime snow fights and frisbee con¬ tests provided students with opportunities to get away from the academic grind and find enjoyment with friends during the school day.

For the second year, blood thirsty fans and innocent curiosity seekers filled the Polk Gym to capacity to witness four action- packed wrestling matches. The excited audi¬ ence watched grown men pleading for mercy, and the fantastics throws, holds, and leaps fulfilled everyone’s desire for action. The first and main event match featured Dick the Bruiser challenging Black Jack Mulligan and Bobby Heenan in the Handi¬ cap Tag Match. The Six-Man Tag Match with Baron Rasch ke, Mitsu Arakowa, and Higo Hamaguchi wrestling against Cowboy Ellis, Billy Red Cloud, and Seaman Thomas was especially popular with the crowd. Weeks of planning and promotion paid off in a big way for the happy seniors who spon¬ sored the show as they netted $2400 for their efforts — enough to finance the prom and post-prom. ▼ 28 — Student Life 1 Chief Billy Red Cloud carefully listens to instructions from the referee as he awaits the start of the six-man tag team match. 2 Dick the Bruiser sizes up the opposition before making his move. 3 Handsome Jimmy Valiant pleads for mercy as the referee tries to untangle his arms from the ropes. 4 Frank Adonis grimaces in pain after being brutally slammed by Moose Cholak. 5 Chief Bold Eagle covers “Brilliant” Mark Man- son for the pin. 6 Dick the Bruiser ' s hand is raised in victory after the main event match against Blackjack Mulligan and “Pretty Boy” Bobby Heenan. 7 “Brilliant” Mark Man- son is sent flying into the ropes by his opponent Chief Bold Eagle.

Winter was dreading school on Monday mornings — but going anyway to hear the weekend gossip. By mid-winter, students knew exactly what each teacher expected and which classes you had to do homework for. Winter became an almost unbearable routine and Wallace students began to create their own diversions. The first formal dance of the year, the Inaugural Ball, highlighted the holiday sea¬ son. The 4th annual Basketball Homecoming and the pro-wrestling bout attracted capacity crowds and the Girls’ Club shopping excur¬ sions and Birthday Potluck kept members active. Winter meant counting the days, sweating the tests, waiting for the sunshine. . . Student Life — 31 Night life thrives at Wallace after dark For some students, the 3:30 bell meant the end of the day, but for those who partici¬ pated in clubs or sports, many activities were offered both inside and outside of Lew Wal¬ lace during after-school hours. The school buzzed with activity each day as decorating, painting, and attending meetings occupied students’ extracurricular time. After school and evening recreational activities included basketball, weightlifting, handball, swim¬ ming, gymnastics, and ping-pong. The tennis courts were busy each evening as students and area residents frequented them to play tennis and hockey. The night school program involved over 300 adults and students who attended classes from 5:30 till 9:30, working to complete graduation requirements. Monthly PTA meetings featured speakers and programs, and one guest, Kirby Jeffries, drew one of the largest crowds ever. For those aware of the after-dark activities avail¬ able, Lew Wallace provided a wide range of programs for students and members of the community. T , . ' , vi % I BP .

Colour My World, couples welcome another slow dance. 7 Madonna Hamilton shows Mike Jandura that dancing isn’t as hard as he thinks. UM Mi 34 — Student Life Inaugural Ball highlights holiday season The Dicken’s inspired theme, “A Christ¬ mas Carol,” provided the setting for the Stu¬ dent Council’s annual Inaugural Ball. “Jubal Forest” provided musical entertainment for the 150 couples who attended this semi-for- mal event. Lighted Christmas trees, store front windows, and park benches lined the walls of the old gym which was transformed into a 19th century England street scene. Stu¬ dents devoted many hours of hard work con¬ structing the large white gazebo which was located in the center of the gym and was enhanced by strings of multi-colored twin¬ kling Christmas lights. Miniature presents for all of the attending couples covered the archway leading from the gym to the surge area. In the surge, couples relaxed within an old-fashioned atmosphere complete with refreshments, checkered table cloths, and brightly painted murals that expressed sea¬ son’s greetings to everyone there. 7 Student Life — 35 Students turn on to concerts, shows, superstars For anyone griping of boredom, ’73 was not a year that justified their complaints. The area was flooded with an abundance of quality concerts, movies, and shows. The music world contributed such great new¬ comers as Seals and Crofts, the Doobie Brothers, and Steely Dan to the total enter¬ tainment scene. Favorites, however, like Chicago, Santana, and Stevie Wonder stayed at the top. Many students flocked to Chicago to see concerts by Humble Pie, America, and Jethro Tull. A first for many was the free Foghat concert at the Hammond Civic Center. For those who lacked the money or transportation to a live performance, an array of albums was available. Carly Simon’s “No Secrets” and the Moody Blue’s “Seventh Sojurn” were top sellers along with ‘Trilogy” by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer and “Billion Dollar Babies” by Alice Cooper. A little of the “greaser” element in all of us was brought out by the nostalgic ’50’s trend. Everyone enjoyed an occasional boogie to Elton John’s “Crocodile Rock” or Hurricane Smith’s “Oh Babe! What Would You Say?” Saturday night “nothing to do’s” were easily remedied by trips to local cinemas to see the flicks. Eve n non-movie buffs were lured by “Deliverance,” “Lady Sings the Blues,” “The Poseidon Adventure,” and “Caba¬ ret.” T.V. programs brought entertain¬ ment to many a dull evening. Shows like “Maude,” “The Mystery Movie,” and “The Movie of the Week” were widely viewed by high school students. “Love Story,” “Patton,” and “Joe” were only three of the many quality movies that were shown minus the $2.00 admission charge. Many top bands were featured on “The Midnight Special” and “In Concert.” Lack of variety was no problem for the liter¬ ary minded. Many a bookworm curled up in a favorite chair to read The Other, The Exorcist, or Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Stage plays such-as “Godspell” and “1776” were well worth the drive to Illinois, as were the rock operas “Tommy” and “Jesus Christ Superstar.” Whether you went out to look for it, or it came into your home, good entertainment was easy to find in 73.

Inflation became evident as tickets for athletic games rose to $1.00 and stu¬ dent lunches, milk, and several desserts increased in price. High gas prices put a damper on student driving and limited many a trip to Mac’s where food prices were also higher. The exorbitant prices for prom gowns, tux rental, and flowers made a part time job a necessity for those stu¬ dents wanting to attend the prom. Although people showed concern for the country’s pollution crisis and the mis¬ use of our natural resources, at Lew Wal¬ lace, students seemed unconcerned about our increasing local pollution problem — the strewing of trash and debris on school grounds and in the yards of area residents. Lawns were cluttered with empty pop cans, candy wrappers, and potato-chip bags. Students and adults alike showed concern, however, when the deterioration of our lakeshore resulted in the destruc¬ tion of beautiful homes and many beaches. The spread of pornography, seen b many as a backlash of current trends in morality, became a concern of Wallace students as Warren Freiberg and radio station WLTH sought to close an adult bookstore which opened within a block of Glen Park School. Thousands of area rest dents joined Freiberg’s attack on the shop which advertised its massage parlor and X-rated movies on the overhead marquis Local theaters followed a policy condon ing the showing of Walt Disney movies one week and X-rated movies the next. — Student Life Political involvement reached the high school level with students displaying POW bracelets and viewing the Watergate hearings via televisions in government classes. The Supreme Court passed legis¬ lation permitting 18 year olds to vote, and many seniors worked actively with politi¬ cal parties in the area. Some young people turned to religion, oriental philosophy, or simple meditation to find a framework for living in a hectic and troubled era while others fulfilled the regligious need through Godspell or Jesus Christ Superstar. The so-called “new morality” of young adults helped to bring about the reform of many old laws. The question of abortion reform became one of the most hotly debated issues of 1973 as nearby states legalized abortion and set up out-patient clinics for pregnancies of less than ten weeks. Indiana doctors were more reluc¬ tant to open clinics, however, and more young people looked to “the pill” as an inexpensive way to avoid a costly mistake. Some who became pregnant finished school wearing popular “smock tops.” In spite of parental and legal controls, a large number of young people turned to drugs and alcohol for release or amuse¬ ment. Surveys showed that the use of LSD, mescaline, herion, and other hard drugs decreased for the high school age group, whereas marijuana and pill use increased. Illinois and Michigan permit¬ ted the sale of beer and wine to 18 and 19 year olds, providing easy access drinking grounds for Indiana youth. Liquor stores in Gary where ID’s weren’t checked made the acquisition of liquor easy.

Each class tried to “win the stick” as they shouted the cheer “We’re from Wallace High School” before a panel of faculty members and administrators who judged the loudness of each class’ cheer. Each winning class had its year painted on the stick which was dominated almost com¬ pletely by the seniors. Spirited pep rallies were held throughout the year to honor various athletic teams, but Hornet Hysteria reached its peak during the basketball sectional playoffs when Wallace defeated the Roosevelt Panthers and cap¬ tured the Gary Sectional title. Students attending these basketball pep rallies got a bigger kick out of the fiery speeches of eager coach Bill Kukoy than even the spirit stick competition. Student Life — 41 Homecoming halftime steals scene from Hornet cagers Lew Wallace’s fourth annual Basketball Homecoming was celebrated on January 27 with a combination of twenty pretty girls from the various Homecoming and class courts, the Lew Wallace pep band, pom pom g ' rls, cheerleaders, a gym full of enthusiastic ns, and fantastic Hornet reserve and var¬ sity teams. The Philosopher -sponsored Homecoming dance scheduled for the Thursday preceding the game was cancelled due to the sudden death of former President Johnson and the declaring of Thursday as a national day of mourning. Friday morning’s Homecoming pep rally prepared everyone “spiritually” for the eve¬ ning which brought two Hornet victories with the defeat of the Valpo Vikings, first by the reserves, 48-40, and later by the varsity, 84- 51. During halftime ceremonies in the Polk gym. Holly Haller was crowned the 1973 Basketball Homecoming Queen. Her court consisted of seniors Melinda Kelley, Molly Shaffer, Mary Smith, and Arlene Silich. Prin¬ cesses, selected from underclass courts by their classmates, were junior Bev Brasich, sophomore Diane Stringer, and freshman.

President Nixon said in a televised broadcast that the agree¬ ment would “end the war and bnn, peace with honor” in Vietnam an Southeast Asia. He also explained that the agreement called for the release ofl all American POWs and the with- American force in South Vietnam within 60 days.

The scheduled release of 27 POWs in South Vietnam was delayed, for more than 12 hours due to a dispute between American and Viet Cong officers over whether the Americans could be freed before the Communists received their first plane¬ load of prisoners from the South Viet¬ namese.

They accused the U.S. of “encouraging” the Saigon Govem- mumsts to 587. With the departure of the last troops only 8,500 American civilians remained, most of them tech¬ nicians helping the South Vietnamese armed forces. Class contests return spirit to Spirit Week Spirit broke out in epidemic proportions during Lew Wallace’s annual Spirit Week with many unique activities and contests designed to build class pride. The red, white, and blue “Spirit of 76,” the black and gold “Sophomore Territory,” and the animals of the “Junior Jungle” began the week’s hallway decorating craze. By the end of the week, seniors had a real struggle to win over the other classes, but after a late deco¬ rating session and the efforts of more seniors than usual, they proved unanimously that McDonaldland is everybody ' s “kind of place.” Starting off the week’s activities with a splash, the sophomore-sponsored boat races were a hit with everyone. The student-faculty basketball game was the scene for the crown¬ ing of Bob Skaltsas as Wallace’s first Spirit King. During the week, several clubs spon¬ sored lunchtime activities, the junior class sold spirit-grams, and the Booster Club spon¬ sored a successful “Arabian Nights” turna¬ bout. Students and teachers alike were amazed at the work and cooperation making this year’s Spirit Week such a great success.

Student Life — 49 Spring’s popularity triggered by sun and activities Springtime, the season of sunshine and smiles, was the time of the year to storm River Oaks for summer clothes, to pick out next year’s schedule, and to try to forget about the SAT’s. Girls started counting the days until the prom, guys started checking their bank accounts, and seniors started dreaming of freedom. After the dreary months of slush and snow, some lucky Wal¬ lace students fled Gary and invaded Florida to lather up the baby oil and return home with a sunburn. Others locked themselves in their rooms with a sun-lamp and prayed for a red nose. As the weather got nicer, everybody’s extra time was spent outdoors — watching baseball games, practicing for cheerleading tryouts, playing tennis, shining the spokes on the Schwinn, playing Frisbee at lunch, or ditching at the Dunes.

From eight till eleven on Saturday, May 19, nearly 300 formally attired juniors and seniors danced to the music of “Fluid Motion” within the oriental atmosphere of the Greek Orthodox Cultural Center. Prepa¬ rations were begun several months in advance, and prior to the prom, two solid days were spent decorating the hall and tak¬ ing care of the many last minute details. Post prom tickets were sold on a first come-first served basis, filling San Remo’s with a capacity crowd of 200 couples. Fol¬ lowing a buffet dinner at midnight, enter¬ tainment was provided by the band “Free Verse” and Chicago super CFL disc jockey Larry Lujack who conducted a show featur¬ ing the multi-talented persons in the audi¬ ence. Larry also passed out many free albums, most of which featured somewhat unknown artists. The winner of the audience talent competition was Jeff Mancilla who played song requests on his comb. Other highlights of the show were Gino Travline’s animal imitations, Fred Dumas’ popping ear, and Kim Aydelotte’s cracking neck. ▼ Student Life — 53 Larry Lujack entertains full house at post prom 54— Student Life E3 1 Chris Vulman and Nancy Ramos take time to enjoy each other’s company in the romantic atmosphere of “Lost Horizons.” 2 Couples dance to the music provided by “Fluid Motion” 3 Friends find a table where they can relax and chat while the band takes a break. 4 Terri Nigrelli and date are served cookies and punch by freshman Nancy Rose. 5 Audrey Stringer and Jan Nowak receive their favor from Miss Dorothy Kouvelas during the Grand March. 6 Larry Beals and Theresa Lopez smile as they comment on the scenery around them. 7 Sandy Gnemi and Frank Schmidt line up for the Grand March. 8 “Fluid Motion” played an occasional fast song which couples enjoyed.

The hot, overcrowded auditorium was the scene for the Baccalau¬ reate service as Reverend Richard Kilgore addressed the graduates and guests. One of the largest graduating classes in the school’s history assembled in the Polk Gym on a rainy June 5 evening to participate in the 42nd Commencement ceremonies. Girls wearing gold and boys wearing black, the 554 seniors entered the gym from the balco¬ nies and proceeded to the gym floor. Saluta- torian Nancy Yetsko addressed the crowd. The valedictory address was then presented by Shawn Polizotto, followed by speeches from Principal Mr. Christ Christoff and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Gordon McAndrew. Diplomas were conferred upon the graduates by School Board President Mr. Joe Torres as Mr. Christoff announced each graduate’s name over the public address sys¬ tem. With the words “The class of 1973 is now graduated,” the graduates moved their tassels to the left of their mortarboards in unison. 66 — Student Life •A 3 51 {■ ±L Xu. 1 Jackie Candiano and Bruce Failla bow their heads in prayer at Baccalaureate ser¬ vices held in the hot, crowded Lew Wallace auditorium. 2 Shawn Polizotto quotes James: 123 in her valedictory’ address during Commencement exercises held in the Polk Gymnasium. 3 Reverend Richard Kilgore leads the seniors in prayer at Baccalaureate services. 4 Nancy Yetsko, salutatorian, delivers her speech to classmates and guests at Commencement. 5 The seniors and guests listen intently to Mr. Joe Torres’ speech before distribution of diplomas. 6 Ellen Wolske receives her diploma after four long years of waiting. 7 THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1973 assembles for the last time.

Often in the halls, Mr. Christoff could be seen congratulating a student who won an essay contest or who secured a de¬ cisive touchdown at Friday ' s football game. Throughout the year, students needing program adjust¬ ments encountered Mr. Smith, who tried to come up with a workable solution. Mr. Black helped many class and club representatives work out activity de¬ tails and scheduling problems. Troubled students received advice from Mr. King, who handled discipline problems with tact and common sense. ■pi : I Z2 72 — Academics — For every problem the administration had to solve, often two or more crises sprung up as replace¬ ments. In a single day, the principals may have coped with questions of school finance, rights of teachers and students, the demands of a parent group, the mistakes of an IBM compu¬ ter, and the replacement of a burned out light bulb in the handball court. No matter what the problem, our principals found a solution. Top Left: Assistant Principal. Mr. Black receives a boutonniere on Carnation Day from Georgene Geras.

Academics — 73 School Board defines student responsibilities Besides showing it’s usual concern with providing quality education for all Gary students, the Board of School Trustees this year felt it necessary for students to learn and demonstrate principles and practices of good citizenship. Members of the Board believe that students live and function not only in their civic community but in a second community as well — namely, the school community — which requires students to accept certain individual responsibilities. This year a brochure was prepared by the Board and given to each student stating rules and standards applying to conduct on school premises, on school buses, or involving school property; to conduct off school premises directly affecting other students or the school; and to conduct at school functions of any kind. The Board is optimistic that these policies, rules, and regulations set forth in the brochure will help each student conduct himself in a proper manner as a good citizen of the school community of the city of Gary.

Even though the secretaries are generally the first to arrive at school and the last to leave, they never seem to find enough time in the school day to finish all of their work. Writing admits, keeping transcripts, taking messages, typing memos, distributing locks, and handling money are just a few of the many duties the secretaries perform. Without them, no doubt, Wallace would certainly grind to a halt, for they supply the “oil” which keeps the administrative machine running smoothly. Above: Wallace Secretaries Standing: Mrs. E.

In order to keep well informed about today’s worldwide political and economical scene, government and economics students utilized daily newspapers and national magazines as study materials. Pupils enrolled in world civilization cours es studied world history from the ancient Greek societies to the modem Middle EAst conflicts. U.S. history classes learned the significance of people and events that have molded our country into what it is today. Students were able to become more aware of contemporary contro¬ versial issues in Social Problems and of black culture in Afro-American History.

Academics — 77 Experiments in science show concern for our environment With the increasing emphasis on pollution in society today, many science classes participated in projects reflecting concern for the total environment. Biology classes conducted experiments with pond water, demonstrating the effects of chemical and detergent additives and the survival of various organisms in this form of pollution. Biology students also examined genetics through the breeding of fruit flies and embryonic development through the incubation of chicken eggs. Life science classes determined blood types and observed animal characteristics through the raising of rats. Studying propagation, these students removed leaves from their branches and replanted them without using fertilizer. Chemistry students worked on experiments dealing with chemical compounds as they learned how to balance equations and figure out molar masses. Physics classes studied the principles of motion, heat, and light. Above: The various parts of a flower are pointed out by Mr. Moss to his Life Science class.

English curriculum stresses independence This year, English classes took on a more relaxed atmosphere as practically every level had some type of study in self-initiated projects. Contracts, enumerating minimum requirements for credit, were special features in the determination of grades in some classes. Textbooks became obsolete in many English IV classes where pupils were able to work inidvidually on subjects which were of interest to them. Mrs. Sefton’s junior English classes published a creative writing booklet which contained selected works by students while Mrs. Utley introduced learning packets in grammar which enabled her students to work at their own speed toward a definite goal. Several sophomore classes abandoned the traditional approach of Julius Caesar and To Kill a Mockingbird as teachers gave their students more of a voice in determining what they studied. Freshman classes were familiarized with the open classroom as they studied poetry, comparitive literature units, and mythology. Left: Mrs. Yorko works individually with freshman Vincent Pugh.

Algebra I students were taught the fundamental techniques of solving equations which they later applied in Algebra II. Discovering that answers were not enough, geometry students were introduced to the idea of a “proof.” Seniors who took Math IV were allowed to utilize hand calculators which greatly reduced the time required to answer their complicated calculus and trig problems. Math programs were also available for the acceler¬ ated student as well as courses in general and senior math for non-college bound students.

Academics — 83 Foreign languages utilize audio-visual aids Meeting the demands of our multi-lingual society, Wallace offered courses in Spanish, Latin, French, Russian, and German. To students enrolled in these classes, foreign language has become a voice heard from native citizens through electronic headphones. These languages were also taught through the use of films, slides, and textbooks. Latin classes began a new individualized program, “Artes Latinae,” which allowed students to learn at their own rate of speed. Over 200 French students went to the Chicago Art Institute to view the largest collection of Renoir paintings ever assembled in the world, and to St. Mary ' s College where the play “Barber of Seville” was featured. As a special project, Russian classes prepared a slide presentation of life at Wallace which was shown to students at Bailly Junior High School.

This year, students were able to take full advantage of the Polk game, new pool, handball courts, wrestling and gymnastics room, and the football stadium. Learning able to about first aid and accident prevention was a necessary part of the classroom phase of the physical education program. Students in health and safety classes could seek answers to their questions concerning the use of narcotics, tobacco, and alcohol. Driver education students encountered training in parallel parking and every imaginable driving situation as Broadway, Miller, 1-94, and the side streets of Glen Park became their routes of study.

Academics — 87 Fine Arts becomes a means of self-expression Fine arts students had many opportunities for self-expression within the fields of art, music, drama, and photography. Basic art courses included units of study in sculpture, pottery, and painting while specialized classes were provided for students interested in commercial art or crafts such as tapestry or weaving. Photography students learned the intricacies of the camera mainly through trial and error as they attempted to capture life on film. Music students were exposed to various types of music and different performing techniques as they presented their annual fall and spring concerts. Classes in band, orchestra, music theory, harmony, and choir were available to students interested in this medium of expression. Drama students utilized auditorium faciliti es, costumes, and make-up, learning the basics of acting and stage direction. Performances of “Kiss Me Quick, I’m Double Parked” were presented as part of the freshman orientation program and in the spring, “The People vs. Maxine Lowe” was presented for the student body and the public.

Business students gain experience Students enrolled within Lew Wallace’s business curriculum learned secretarial skills and gained practical experience in preparation for future office careers. In shorthand classes, students learned dictation and transcription and worked to build shorthand speed. Typing students worked to improve accuracy and speed, with advanced classes concentrating on spe¬ cial problems in tabulation, rough drafts, and proofreading. Transcribing machines helped advanced typists to increase their skills while electrical calculators proved indispensable to clerical practice students. Applying their general skills, clerical practice students prepared programs for dramatic and choral perfor¬ mances. Additional courses in bookkeeping, general business, business law, and office educa¬ tion rounded out our business curriculum with the Tech School offering advanced laboratory courses in accounting, shorthand, and typing.

Students worked on individualized projects within each subject area. Printing classes printed signs, tickets, and programs for various sporting and social events as they learned the basic skills of typesetting and press work. Woodshop and metal shop students utilized the available machinery as they made cabinets, book shelves, wall clocks, and Christmas tree stands. Students in power mechanics classes studied the systems of small prop engines and the principles of pneumatics. Drafting I students learned to describe and define objects by making pictorial drawings of them while second year architectural drafting students drew floor plans of houses and made blueprints. Students familiarized themselves with electronics through the use of the De Vry system as they worked with transistors, radios, amplifiers, and power supplies. Academics — 93 Home Ec cooks up three new courses As an extension of the basic cooking and sewing courses usually offered in high school home economics programs, Wallace introduced three new courses centered around child development, personal relationships, and family housing. The new child development class analyzed the growth potentials and insights of small children by using infants and kindergarteners as subjects for class study. Students enrolled in personal relationships examined all phases of dating including the engagement, wedding, and marriage. Housing needs, comparison shopping, and the management of family resources were topics discussed in the family housing course. Even the foods and clothing classes under¬ took new units of study. Beginning sewing students engaged in embroidery and small weaving projects while the more skilled sewers utilized advanced techniques on suits and prom gowns. Cooking classes prepared meals and studied the importance of nutritional value.

Academics — 95 Library accommodates needs of each student This year the library endeavored to fulfill student needs through $5,000 worth of new books, films, and recordings, a new audio¬ visual coordinator, and the addition of two new assistants to the growing staff of qualified librarians. Whether with a class or individually, nearly every student became acquainted with the library’s many facilities which remained open before, during, and after school. Many teachers brought classes to the soundproof classroom and used the broad range of materials available for teaching beyond regular classroom texts. Accommodating every need, a lounge area and individual study booths were provided for students desiring casual reading or serious study. The library could no longer be called “just a place to study.” Above: At lunchtime. Bob Hogan finds the library a good place to do some quick studying for an upcoming exam.

Tech School attracts students interested in vocational careers This year, one hundred and thirty-three Lew Wallace juniors and seniors enrolled in an assortment of courses ranging from automobile mechanics to horticulture at Gary’s Technical Vocational Career Center. On a half day basis, the school’s specialized learning facilities allowed vocationally talented students from Gary and surrounding area high schools to further expand their abilities and to prepare for future technical careers. The remainder of the day was spent at Wallace where the students fulfilled their basic graduation requirements. Ninety-seven percent of the students who sought jobs found them in their related fields after graduation from the Tech School. Newly featured at the school this year was a course in electronic technology which prepared students for future employment as electronic technician helpers, telephone technicians, or for other related jobs in the field of electronics.

Academics — 99 Lew Wallace expands its special services Wallace was one of the few schools in Indiana to adopt a program for the hearing impaired. Three deaf students attended Wallace on a full day basis and were taught academic sub¬ jects by Mrs. House. As part of the program for the visually impaired, twelve students spent two weeks in the summer learning the lay¬ out of the school through the guidance of trained “mobility men” from Chicago. These students carried braille typewriters to classes and were assigned to the resource lab for additional help with their studies. Non- English-speaking students enrolled in the TESOL program advanced individually until they were capable of handling regular work at their grade level. A program was also offered for students needing additional help in academic are¬ as. These students were placed in special classes where they received guidance in English, social studies, math, and science.

The counselors also handled the test¬ ing for the college board exams and familiarized freshmen through an extensive orientation program. Handling student health problems, the school nurse readmitted students after extended absences and took care of minor mis¬ haps and accidents. She also directed a program of health education, delivering lectures to classes concerning such topics as cistic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and hemophelia, and administered fluoride treatments and tests for the detection of nutritional anemia and tuberculosis. The staff of social workers worked with students who because of personal or family difficulties showed a noticeable lack of attendance or were not achieving in line with their capabilities. These problems were kept in strict confidence and those which could not be solved here were referred to other school and community service organizations.

The Council sponsored the first Homecoming Parade, featuring the “Senior Machine,” the juniors’ “Funeral,” the sopho¬ mores’ “Hornet Hive,” and the freshmen’s “Warrior’s Last Stand.” The junior float was sel¬ ected as most creative, and the $25 prize awarded by the Council helped to build up the jun¬ ior treasury. Students experienced the first complete halftime ceremony in our new stadium as Sue Thomas was crowned 1973 Homecoming Queen. For the first time, the traditional Homecoming dance was held on the Thursday preceding the game, and “Heavy” provided a full evening of the entertainment for the large crowd. In late November, the Student Council organized a student exchange with West Lafayette High School, and several Wallace students participated, living with West Lafayette students and attending classes with them. In December, we experienced a reciprocal visit as Lafayette repre¬ sentatives were guests of Lew Wallace. The Council’s traditional Inaugural Ball added to the excitement and spirit of the Christmas season with its “Christmas Carol” theme and enter¬ tainment by “Jubal Forest.” 106 — Organizations 108 — Organizations Student body makes i S.C. projects work The student lounge and surge area continued to provide an escape from teacher and academic pressures as student monitors kept problems under control and the lack of teacher supervi¬ sion contributed to the informal atmosphere. The Council sponsored the most successful Spirit Week ever, highlighted by boat races in the new pool, the Faculty-Student Basket¬ ball Game, and fierce hallway decoration compe¬ tition. Over $ 1000 was collected for SOS and donated for needy families in the area. On May 23, the entire school population attended the Student Council’s annual Awards Day program in the Polk Gym, as Lew Wallace honor¬ ed its outstanding achievers. During the last two weeks of school, the Council provided voting machines from the Lake County Court¬ house for the primary and general election of next year’s officers and class representatives.

After acquainting the freshmen to high school, the club introduced them to their first turnabout dance. The group “Carpetbaggers” entertained couples in the Indian summer surround¬ ings of “Harvest,” the club’s only fund raising project. Funds from the Girls’ Club pocketbook covered a visit to the Old Folks’ Home, a shopping spree to Woodfield Mall in Shaumburg, and the annual Birthday Potluck, with birthday cakes and hats as table decora¬ tions. Skits to familiar tunes highlighted the evening of birthday surprises. Keeping its tradition of presenting a unique schedule of activities, the club presented Wallace’s first ethnic dance, “Proud Heritage.” Students tasted various foreign pastries and danced to festive folk songs. Profits from the sale of the pastries were donated by Girls’ Club to help finance the junior class’ share of prom costs.

Organizations — 111 GAA provides outlet for energetic girls Lew Wallace’s female sports enthusiasts were able to participate in volleyball, basketball, and gymnastics this year as the Girls’ Athletic Association provided a full schedule of extra-curricular competition, socializing, and exercise for the athletically inclined. The girls’ volleyball team vanquished most of their op¬ ponents in inter-school competition, while the basketball team dribbled mainly at home, failing to enter outside tournaments. Off-court, our five gymnasts took numerous honors locally and ad¬ vanced to regional and state competition in Indianapolis. Wallace’s GAA program received a real boost because of the girls’ interest this year.

The girls sponsored a children’s Halloween party and collected canned goods for needy families at Thanksgiving. Their service projec ts were not limited to the Lew Wallace area only — the club adopted a child overseas whom they supported with monetary contributions. Along the fundraising lines, Y-Teens sponsored a chicken dinner and lunchtime sock-hops in the gym.

Organizations — 113 Boys’ Club rebuilds treasury and image Members of the Boys’ Club were physically in¬ active but mentally alive this year as traditional field trips to Chicago to watch different competitive sports contests never materialized. The lack of funds left members with no other alternative than to reorganize and rebuild the diminished treasury which in previous years financed group excursions to pro basketball, baseball, and hockey games. Each boy enjoyed the experience of trying his hand at salesmanship through the year-long sale of Wallace license plates. Members also had fun selling taffy apples dur¬ ing lunch hours in an attempt to pull the club out of the red. Top Right: Boys complete plans for a stag dance to be held in the surge.

The annual talent show was presented at Indiana University Northwest Theatre, where Amy Neal was selected as the club’s new Sweetheart. Fulfilling its responsibilities as a community service organization, Hi-Y distributed Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to amny needy families in the Glen Park area as well as organizing activities at the YMCA for young children. An Omega Psi Phi fraternity weekend at Purdue University gave Hi-Y members an idea of college careers and campus life. Several church visitations completed the club’s busy schedule.

Organizations — 115 Wallace Inkpots make reading FUN-damental Literary discussions and harmless gossip made Ink¬ pots a unique experience for many girls. Lew Wallace’s only literary club met once a month to discuss such popular best sellers as The New Centurions and Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Activities during the year included an initiation dinner for new members, a Christmas party, a trip to Chicago by senior members to see the play 1776” and by junior members to see the musical Godspell,” the showing of old-time movies as an S.O.S. charity venture, and a farewell cookout for senior members which brought an end to the funfilled year.

Spreading a little sweetness to Wallace’s faculty, club members placed little “treats” in faculty mailboxes on Halloween and Valentine’s Day. Several members enjoyed the mid-winter trip to Chicago where they shopped and visited the Chicago Art Institute. As a new activity, the Home Ec Club presented a $100 scholarship to its most outstanding senior member, Mildred Sandifer. The presentation was made at a banquet at the Robin Hood Restaurant honoring all graduating members. The banquet climaxed an all day shopping spree for the girls at Marquette Mall Shopping Center.

Organizations — 117 Council’s membership drive total success Auditorium Council membership increased 100% in late April when a massive drive was undertaken to strengthen the failing club. After the death of club sponsor, Mrs. Mary Busby, temporary lack of leadership and interest caused the club to fall into a slump — but the girls got themselves together under the new drama teacher and group sponsor, Mrs. Cynthia Hall, in time to distribute programs for several choir and orchestra performances and to assist at the annual Awards Day assembly in May and the Baccalaureate and Commencement cere¬ monies in June.

The play, a spoof on the complications of entering high school, was a hit with freshmen who quickly identified with the actors’ predicaments. Winter doldrums were heightened in February with the unexpected death of Mrs. Mary Busby, Thespian sponsor, and club activities were brought to a halt until the arrival of Mrs. Cynthia Hall, who prompt¬ ed the presentation of “The People vs. Maxine Lowe,” a major production centered on courtroom proceedings in Gary. The play received positive reviews — an impetus for the club to increase their performances.

Organizations — 119 Busy DECA members practice salesmanship Members of the Lew Wallace DECA program learned the fundamentals of marketing, merchan¬ dising, and distribution as they combined their talent for salesmanship with on- the-job training. Students within the special work-study program spent half of the day in regular classes, completing courses necessary for graduation, and half of the day with selected employers. Participating in district DECA contests, our students competed in such categories as business letter writing, market cashiering, ad layout, and asles demonstration. Senior Nancy Briede was selected first runner-up in the Miss Indiana DECA contest, and Mary Ann Kusza, a junior, placed third in radio commercial writing. In May, Wallace students attended the State Career Development Conference in Indianapolis. The sale of candy bars and Wallace pennants and money earned taking inventory at local department stores financed the annual Employer Appreciation Banquet held at San Remo’s Restaurant in Griffith.

The boys supplied tickets and programs for all school-sponsored activities, and printed and circulated new calendars to all Gary schools and places of business. During the basketball playoffs, the organization boosted school spirit by distributing Hornet booster badges. The Pica Press spread Christmas tidings by imprinting names on stationery and Christmas cards which the group sold.

Booster members encouraged school morale and game attendance with painted signs in hallways announcing athletic contests. Working with the Booster Club, the Pom Pon Girls performed routines during football and basketball halftimes to the tune of “Shaft” and “Make Me Smile” and provided a gay rendition of the school song during Homecoming halftime ceremonies. To meet expenses, the girls sold Lam key chains and buttons and basketball schedule bookmarks. Booster members sponsored Band and Teacher Appreciation Teas and celebrated at Christmastime with a party for members and Pom Pon Girls. The “Arbian Nights ’ turnabout, set in desert surroundings, brought a climax to Spirit Week activities with “Free Verse” providing music for the crowd. As a final activity, the club donated rose bushes to Huber — work out an agenda for the next meeting. 7 Long hours of decorating for the Booster Club turnabout are nearly over as students hang the final mural. 8 Couples dance to the music of “Free Verse’ at the turnabout. 9 Sophomore Barbara Vann cheers the basketball team on to one of its many victories. 10 Spring weather brings the Pom Pon Girls outdoors to practice their routines. 9 Organizations —125 In an attempt to improve relations among people, the Lew Wallace Human Relations Forum sponsored a party during the Thanksgiving holidays for youngsters at the Lake County Child¬ ren’s Home.

Members competed in the Indiana State Regional Tourney and played in a small tourna¬ ment at the Lake of the Four Seasons. Boys gain ROTC training through service projects Self-discipline and respect for commanding officers were two important phases of training for the ROTC. Cadets practiced routines, posted colors at school functions, and participated in parades where they carried the colors for local service organizations. The boys also took part in Memorial Day services at Evergreen Memorial Park.

The Girls’ Drill Team realized many advantages this year as the group switched from non-military status to full scale membership in the Lew Wallace ROTC. New membership restrictions were instituted, and only those girls who could meet the stricter requirements and who showed exceptional marching talent were enrolled. As military cadets, the Girls Drill Team participated in the Fort Wayne Invitational Meet and the Gary Drill Team Competition where they were awarded a third place trophy. Eligible to participate in every competition class open to their male counterparts, the girls attend¬ ed the -co-educational field trip at Camp Kingsbury ' in the spring and competed in many of the ROTC field games. Organizations— 129 Mardi Gras highlights French Club activities Russian Club focuses on life at Lew Wallace Lew Wallace’s French Club became one of the more active or¬ ganizations as members went beyond traditional classroom ac¬ tivities to acquaint themselves with French customs, language, and atmosphere. A trip to Cafe la Tour in Chicago gave club members an opportunity to sample French cuisine in the proper atmosphere, and the traditional fondue party at Christmas time provided a relaxed setting for the fun experience of tasting chocolate, cheese, and beef fondue. Creativity was really brought out by the traditional Mardi Gras celebration as Club members concocted their own newspaper costumes with prizes a- warded for the funniest and most original costumes. The major activity of this year’s Russian Club involved a photographic essay depicting different facets of life at Lew Wallace. The color slides taken by Russian Club members were narrated in Russian and shown to students at Bailly Junior High School in the spring. Students studying other languages at Wallace were invited to join the Russian Club on a special field trip to see “Nicholas and Alexandra” at the Glen Theater. Mr. Stephen Parfenoff, club sponsor, hosted an evening ice- skating party at his home in mid-winter, and the group’s busy schedule was concluded with a field trip to the Chicago Art Institute to view the famous Renoir exhibit.

The opinions expressed are those of indi¬ vidual writers and not necessarily of school administrators or faculty. Organizations — 137 When school began in the fall, 25 staffers, con¬ sisting of second year journalism students and a few outstanding juniors from Journalism I classes, began planning the 1973 Quill and Blade . Fall and winter months were spent selling T-shirts and booster badges, distributing ’72 yearbooks, planning a 1973 yearbook sale campaign, and selling patron and business ads. During the second semester, section editors began actual work on the book. Each two-page spread took a phenomenal amount of time to complete — drawing modern layouts, cropping pictures, composing copy, cutlines, and headlines, deciding on special art and color effects and typing everything error-free on a quad pak. Staffers soon discov¬ ered that putting to ether the quality yearbook which Wallace students have grown to expect takes many after-school and summertime hours of work. Summer came and the yearbook experienced a critical manpower shortage with many staffers unwilling to devote the necessary time to complete their sec¬ tions. When school started in the fall, only 4 of the original staff of 25 remained to finish the 140 pages which still had not been sent to the publisher.

Shawn Polizotto was selected as class valedictorian with a grade point average of 4.209. Nancy Yetsko was named salutatorian with a 4.058 average. Follow¬ ing the two top scholars were fifty-five additional honor students, the top 10% of the graduating class. To honor their achievement, these students were permitted to wear sold gold tassels on their mor¬ tarboards and were conferred their diplomas before the rest of the graduates during graduation ceremonies in the Polk Gymnasium. Shawn Polizotto, valedictorian Students are selected for membership in the National Honor Society on the basis of leadership, service, character, and scholarship. Eligible seniors must have maintained a 3.0 grade-point average for seven consecu¬ tive semesters, while juniors must have maintain¬ ed this average for five semesters.

Lew Wallace’s 1972-73 Varsity Football team showed plenty of get up and go early in the season but fell short in the end, winding up the year with a dismal 2-8 record. Facing Merrillville for the first time, the Hornets lost to the new rivals in the season opener. Coming out of the locker room after the half, the Pirates scored on a pass play to edge out the Hornets, 6-0. The following week. Coach Mike Jennings regrouped his forces as Wallace met Gary Roosevelt in conference play. Strong defensive play and quick offensive speed made for a winning combo as Wallace ousted the Panthers, 25-19. Roosevelt ran into difficulty with the quarterbacking of Jim Fastero who set up plays with halfbacks Gino Travline and Mike Hedgepath and with the rugged defensive line. Wallace kept rolling with increasing momentum as they steamed over Horace Mann, 46-8, making the Hornets’ record 2-0 in the conference. Scoring in the first quarter, Horace Mann took an early lead, but the Hornets piled up 40 points in the second quarter and another 6 in the second half, giving the fighting Hornets their second win of the season.

Even the Hornet fans anticipated another victory, but the determined Tornadoes stifled Wallace, 29-0. The Hornets worked hard to overcome their defeat, unaware that they would face tragedy for the next three weeks, falling to Hobart, 22-8, Andrean, 10-0, and West Side, 46-8. A bright spot came during the Hobart game when Gino Travline made a 88-yard touchdown run, with Gary Hensley putting across the extra two points — Wallace’s only scoring of the night. Victory hopes were still present as the Hornets prepared themselves for the big game of the season against Andrean. Even though Andrean had a new coach and lacked speed, the 59’ers went on to stomp the Hornets, 10-0. During the following week’s game against West Side, senior Mike Stojsavlevic pulled in a pass and the Hornet offense scored the extra two points for a single touchdown which failed to spark the Hornet team to victory. With only three games remaining, Wallace’s overall record had dwindled to 2-5, but Coach Jennings still had hopes of salvaging the remaining games to save the season. 1973 VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM — Back Row: A.

Even though the psyched up Hornets came charg¬ ing out of the locker room ready to conquer the Warriors and bring a Homecoming victory to Wallace, all spirited efforts failed, and The Warriors trampled the Hornets, 12-0. The Hornets made their second road trip of the season next and traveled to Gary Wirt. In a cold wet Wirt field, Wallace was cooled off again by a score of 18-6. The last game of the 1972 season was at home against the undefeated East Gary Eagles. With two Weeks to prepare for the game. Coach Jennings inserted a new offense hoping to throw off the victory-minded Eagles. In spite of a valiant effort on the part of the Hornets, the Eagles slipped by, 18-14. The only real highlight of the season occured when Gino Travline and Bruce Davis were selected for the first team All-City.

Led by coach Dave Koval, the reserves set out to better last year’s record of 5-3. The Hornets had no problems early in the season, defeating Calumet, Roosevelt, and Emerson. A forfeit by Horace Mann gave the team a 4-0 record going into the Andrean game where the 59’ers found our reserves too tough to handle and lost to Wallace 8-0. With five victories under their belts, Coach Koval’s preppies went on to shut-out their next three opponents. They smashed West Side, 28-0, and topped Noll, 8-0. The Hornets didn’t waste any time as they claimed the conference title by finishing the season with a 12-0 victory over Wirt. Individual performances were outshadowed by a total team effort which was very rewarding for the Reserve City Conference Champion Hornets. Their teamwork and strength should bolster next year’s varsity team. % 150 — Sports Slow start spurs frosh team to action Under a new coach, the frosh football team came around in the second half of the season to post a respectable 3-3-2 record for ’72, gaining valuable firsthand experience in football tactics. Coach Dave Templin’s young gridders rallied to hand a 22-6 defeat to Emerson as quarterback George Devyak scored three touchdowns to lead the offen¬ sive attack for the freshmen. Several outstanding performers during the season were noted as possible varsity material, includ¬ ing Alberto Corral and halfback Joe Hudock, who punched through for three touchdowns in the 18-6 victory over West Side.

Fontanez placed a second in the Gary city meet held at Gleason Park while Bruce Failla turned in over 1000 miles of running over the summer to become a member of Wallace’s 1000 Mile Club. Wallace’s cross country victories came over Emerson, Horace Mann, Wirt, and Chicago Harlan; our losses were at the hands of conference teams, West Side, Roosevelt, and Andrean.

Red-hot Hornets streak past opponents During the 1972-73 basketball season. Hornet fans witnessed a fantastic 19-3 record, the best in Wallace’s history, and the first Sectional Championship in 20 years. The super team beamed right from the start when they set a new school record of 112 points in one game, walloping Wirt. The starting five, Richard Grant, Pete Grubnich, Xavier Pruitt, Bob Skaltsas, and Bob Djokovich, paced the 64-60 victory against E. C. Roosevelt with a hitting record of 51% from the field and 67% from the line. In the following weeks Andrean, Hammond Noll, Gary Roosevelt, Hammond Morton, and La Porte each fell victim to the unbeaten cagers. Noll stymied Wallace’s early lead, but Kukoy’s great defensive team displayed a smooth offense, clipping Noll 50-46.

After tightening their man-to-man defense, Wallace overcame their aggressiveness which put them in foul trouble. This adjustment proved profitable in the crucial 80-77 conference victory over Horace Mann. Our flashy team proceeded to garner ample points to defeat Emerson, 61-47, Hammond Tech, 83-54, Hammond Gavit, 69-53, and Calumet, 67-54. Giving us a winning string of seven, our successful combination met Valpo for basketball Homecoming and stomped the Vikings 84-51. The powerful Glen Park marauders battled to overcome Griffith, 65-48. After beating East Gary, 66-62, victory became normal to Wallace roundball fanatics. In a packed Brickie gym, Hobart outlasted Wallace in a 73-67 over-time loss. The game had everything except the right outcome, as the Hornet team fought back after being behind.

The record-breaking sectional champions thrilled the army of fans following the success trail. Wallace’s sectional participation began on a Friday night with a top-heavy victory over Wirt. The Hornets overcame the Troopers with ease, scoring 91 points to Wirt’s 57. On Saturday night the nets came tumbling down as the Wallace Hornets, breaking a 20-year drought, defeated Gary Roosevelt, 61-56, for the Gary Sectional Championship. With the sectional victory came dreams of winning the regional championship and perhaps even the state title. Our next encounter pitted Wallace against East Chicago’s sectional champs, Bishop Noll. In the regional contest, the frustrated Hornets choked as Noll played stall-ball, slowing down and rattling our Wallace cagers, 52-37. The 1973 basketball season was good . . . GREAT!! Besides the Gary sectional trophy, outstanding Hornets were recognized in both sectional and regional play.

The next three teams shattered the reserve team’s dreams of an undefeated season. Losing to Andrean, Noll, and Gary Roosevelt, the Hornets were left with a 2-3 record. Coach Tom Ward provided outstanding leadership needed to pull the reserve team together as they conquered city challengers, Horace Mann, 50-49, and Emerson, 52-43. Throughout the remaining season, the Hornets overcame their lack of height and utilized their speed, stinging Hammond Tech, Gavit, Calumet, and Valpo.

Freshman cagers develop techniques during 7-6 season Considered “small but threatening,” the 1972-73 freshman basketball team amassed plenty of experience but relatively small crowds. The freshman cagers compiled a tremendous 5-0 record early in the season before losing Randy Scott and Greg Jackson to the reserve team. In a game that proved to be a real thriller, Wallace lost to Emerson’s Tornadoes, 60-58, in triple overtime. The victory-hungry cagers defeated Harrison Junior High, winners of the Crown Point Tournament, ending in a 44-43 decisive victory for Wallace. Outstanding performances by guard Marcus Hubbard and center Paul Berry throughout the season prompted Coach Herbert to select Hubbard as the most improved player on the Hornet team. Along with Berry and Hubbard, Don Mishevich, Wendell James, and Fred Walker made up the starting five. In spite of a final 7-6 season record, the prepie Hornets considered the year extremely rewarding and most players received plenty of exposure, preparing for Coach Kukoy’s varsity squad.

Terry Cunningham pitched 54 innings and compiled a 1.68 earned-run average. Bob Skaltsas and Mackanos supplied the batting power for the Hornets. Mackanos carried a hefty .400 average, while Skaltsas, leading the team in home runs, hit .360. Coach Day’s batmen were never shutout, scoring an average of 5.9 runs a game to the opposition’s 3.

Super Helpers We appreciate you Thanks are in order for the many people who have made this book possible. . . We , of the 73 staff would most like to thank Miss Carol Puchowski for being the kind of sponsor who accepts nothing less than our best work. A multitude of thanks also goes to Mr. John Giolas of Giolas Studio for his unending support and constant work in the picture department; to Mr. Jim Bell of Taylor Publishing Company for his help and suggestions; to Sheryn Jones in Dallas for pulling our ideas into a great theme; to Jim Crowley for his creative cover design and division page help; to Mr. Jim Mara of Indiana School Pictwes; to Larry Kantroski and Dennis Crane of Paul Vincent Studio for their many extra hours of picture taking; to the very few loyal summer staffers; and finally , to all the faculty and staff of Lew Wallace for their co-operation. Twenty-five enthusiastic QB staffers began work on the 1973 Quill and Blade in September of 1972, hoping to produce another outstanding yearbook for Wallace students. Most of the first semester was spent doing various necessary “busy work” activities. When the 1972 yearbook was delivered in late December, the staff was busy planning an effective distribution for some 1450 yearbooks. Off to a late start on this book, some staffers buckled down, realizing that the most difficult time- consuming work was still ahead. Others roamed the halls, managing to “look busy,” some eventually dropping off the staff when the real work started. Only a few students worked during the summer months to finish their sections, and many seniors never returned at all, leaving a lot of uncompleted work for others to complete. These unfinished sections were taken over by a few juniors and some seniors who came in; these girls completed their own work and began on the layouts left undone by others who had summer jobs or “yearbook flu.” Fall came and the four junior staffers, now top staffers on the 1974 yearbook, were still working to finish 140 pages of the ’73 book. The last pages of the Quill and Blade were finally sent to the publisher in late December, and even though this book is late, I hope that it will bring you happy memories of your 1973 school year.
