Serving as a reminder that summer was end¬ ing and the maze of school activities was beginning, the Football-O-Rama gave fans a pre-season look at the Hornet team. Junior Kim Holley reigned as queen of this year’s annual event. Only one short week later, Wallace opened its doors to nearly 2500 students, and another school year had begun. Freshmen were immediately introduced to the school through various assemblies and the traditional Freshman Week activities. With the monotony of the 8:30 to 3:30 schedule quickly setting in, students relied on foot¬ ball games, Macs, and zotting to relieve weekday tensions. After school, clubs began the year with a wide variety of activities geared at attracting new members. One of the most active of these groups, Girls’ Club, presented its annual fall turnabout, “Country Fair, with “Sircus” entertaining couples. The choral department also attracted a large majority of the student body to view its fall performance, “Let’s Get It On.” Student Life — 21 -—IPgkamdl® IMglfoMg ' Mk© E5®i3Ea®@®i5niflisig 4 . Preparations for Football Homecoming 1974 were finally pieced together when “Hornet Hysteria” was ignited during the Thursday pep rally. The rally featured skits by the cheerleaders and some senior boys, and was followed by a dance where Pegasus” enter¬ tained 450 students. On Friday, everyone who lined Broadway to watch the longest, most colorful parade in school history, wit¬ nessed Hornet spirit at its peak. Following the ROTC color guard, which led the pre-game parade, were the band, pom pom girls, booster block, class floats, and 100 decorated cars. During halftime ceremonies, tense moments ended when the announcement came that the Sophomore float won the class float competi¬ tion, and Amy Neal was crowned 1974 Football Homecoming Queen. After the crowning, the football team returned to face the penetra¬ ting Brickie offense that kept a two point lead, defeating the Hornets 22-20. 1 The Homecoming Court and their escorts: Joyce Tkacs, Mark Stephan, Kim Boblo, Dave Struebig, Amy Neal, Glen Nava, Valerie Terzes, Ron Tipton, Cindy Nuzzo, and Mike Haro. 2 Amy Neal reigns as the 1973-74 Football Homecoming Queen. 3 The crowd stands and cheers as the football team comes on the field. 4 The Sophomore class ' s “Whip the Brickies float captures first place in float competition. 5 Cheerleaders Josie Traficante and Diane Stringer let Mr Chaney have it at the Homecoming pep rally. 6 Jim Karabetsos and Dino Gallo decorate their cars for the Homecoming parade. 7 “Pegasus band member tunes up his guitar before the Thursday night Homecoming dance.

Donny Bridegroom, relax between dances To most students at Wallace, winter meant sub-zero temperatures, both out¬ side and inside, snow, boring lunch hours stuck in the cafeteria, falling into a schoolwork rut, and counting down the days till Christmas vacation. Swim meets and basketball games occupied the evenings of many students throughout the season. December brought the long awaited Inaugural Ball — long awaited because it meant the arrival of a needed vacation. When students returned to school in Jan¬ uary, Wallace played host to the city¬ wide celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday. February was bright¬ ened by the Philosopher ' s sale of carnations for Valentine’s Day, and by the late-month Basketball Homecoming. The HiY’s of Wirt and Wallace together sponsored a HiY Sweetheart Ball in the old gym, where a new Sweetheart was crowned to reign over the up¬ coming year. Wallace boys became involved in a new sport, hockey. The Optimists of Glen Park sponsored the team which captured second place in the area high school hockey league. 1 Hockey team faces off against their opponents. 2 Cindy Karbutowski separates carnations. 3 Freshmen spend a typical lunch hour in the Wallace cafeteria casino. 4 Joe Arrendondo addresses guests at the Martin Luther King Day Program. 5 Students frolic in the snow during lunch hour. 6 A Wallace janitor clears the school sidewalks after a recent snowfall. Student This year, the Brickies of Hobart had two opportunities to view Lew Wallace Homecoming festivities. The Hornets were barely beaten by the Brickies on the football field, but on the basketball court, it was a completely different story, as the Hornets won 55-54 To make Wallace ' s fifth annual Basketball Homecoming better than ever, floats were added. Each class constructed a small wagon- size float, and the Freshmen rolled away with first place for their entry, “Don’t Baby the Brickies. The Junior class spon¬ sored a pre-Homecoming dance on Thursday in the surge with Listen” providing the musical entertainment. Prior to the game, each class selected a Homecoming court in homeroom with the underclasses choosing their own princess and the entire school selecting the queen. Two ties were in¬ volved in this year ' s election, which placed six girls on both the Sophomore and Senior courts. During halftime, Connie Corle was crowned 1974 Basketball Homecoming Queen. 28 — Student Lite 1 Ron Tipton displays the Senior class float. 2 Joe Olah pulls the Freshmen’s winning float. 3 Underclass Princesses and escorts: Junior Kathy Methot, escorted by Tom Wellnitz, Sophomore Theresa Vereb, escorted by Mark Anton, and Freshman Monica Fisher, escorted by Tony Corona. 4 Homecoming Queen Connie Corle poses with escort Dave Charbonneau. 5 Randolph Scott attempts to steal the ball away from two Brickie cagers. 6 The 1973-74 Basketball Homecoming Court: Chris Silich, Chris Fabian, Connie Corle, Mary Ann Mihalik, Angie Campbell, and Bev Bracich.

For the third consecutive year, Pro Wrest¬ ling has brought financial success to the Senior Class. Championship Wrestling, Inc., of Indianapolis and promoter Bob Luce of Chicago co-promoted this year’s 4-bout card presented Thursday, January 31 st in the Polk Gym. At 8:00, hardly a seat in the house remained empty as the first bout between Tony Romano and Prince Pullins was under way. Next on the evening’s card was Baron Von Raschke and Yukon “Moose” Cholak. A match between Cowboy Ellis and Jon Valient followed. After a short intermission, it was time for the main event of the evening. Dick the Bruiser, the world’s most dangerous wrestler and America’s No. 1 Pro-mat box office at¬ traction and Pepper Gomez faced “Pretty Boy” Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Valient. Climaxing the show was the bloody but triumphant victory of Bruiser and Gomez. Later, when all the receipts were counted, a record $2590 was added to the Junior-Senior Prom Fund.

The books Serpico, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Papillon, The Exorcist, The Great Gatsby, and The Last Detail became overnight movie suc¬ cesses. Robert Redtord and Paul Newman brought back the styles of the 1930’s in their role in the Academy Award winning Best Picture of the Year, The Sting. Redford appeared in more movies this year than he had in his entire career, making him the idol of American women. Other major Academy Awards went to Jack Lemmon and Glenda Jackson, best actor arid actress, and John House¬ man and young Tatum O’Neal for their supporting roles. Crime prevention and medicine were the dominating themes of this season ' s television programs. Viewers watched such police stories as The Rookies , Cannon”, Banacek”, Kojack , Chopper One”, and Columbo”, and such medical shows as “Doc Elliot”, Emergency , Medical Center , and “Marcus Welby.” Looking nostalgically at the past became a popular thing to do in every facet of entertainment. The musical group Sha-Na-Na captivated the 50 ' s style of music, while the movie, American Graffiti, and the television show, Happy Days,” captured the era’s carefree teenage lifestyle. The music world celebrated the suc¬ cess of its own at the annual Grammy Award Presentations. Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, Helen Reddy, and Gladys Knight and the Pips were among those recognized for their contri¬ butions to the field of music. Rock musicians again held the spot¬ light this year. Popular groups were Paul McCartney and Wings, Chicago, Edgar Winter, J. Geils, Grand Funk, and the Allman Brothers, while popular individual performers included Carley Simon, Todd Rudgrin, Neil Young, Jim Stafford, John Denver, Elton John, Ringo Starr, Cat Stevens, Carole King, and Rod Stewart. Left: On September 20,1973, an airplane crash took the life of American folksinger Jim Croce. Croce will long be remembered for his albums You Don’t Mess Around With Jim”, Life and Times”, and I’ve Got a Name”, and for such singles as Bad, Bad Leroy Brown , Time in a Bottle , and Operator. F� S8 Student Life — 35 : F Hunt mxmm A spectacular amount of spirit was displayed by the entire student body during this year’s Spirit Week The week began with the Freshman class decorating their hall to the theme of Candyland. On Tuesday, students followed the yellow brick road to the Sophomore’s Wizard of Oz” themed hall and to the class sponsored races. Dressed as cowboys and Indians, the Juniors turned the second floor into “The Junior Corral. They also showed the movie, The Getaway. Climaxing the week ' s activities was Thursday when the Seniors transformed the alcove into Boogie’s Burger Bungaloo ” Carry¬ ing out the nostalgic theme of “Senior Graffiti, Seniors dressed as the high school crowd of the 50’s. After school, the Seniors were beaten by the faculty in the Student-Faculty Basketball Game, where Senior Bob Djokovich was crowned 1974 Spirit King. Other ac¬ tivities held were a paper drive and a raffle of which the proceeds were donated to the citywide S O S. fund. 9 ' ■ V With the Women’s Liberation Movement gaining strength in the world today, the practice of a girl asking a boy out has become common. The girls at Lew Wallace were no exception, especially when turna¬ bout time arrived. Bright colors set the mood for both the Girls’ Club and the Boos¬ ter Club turnabouts. The Girls ' Club annual fall dance, themed “Country Fair,” was decorated with various carnival booths and a large carousel in the center of the gym. With Sircus” music in the background, cider and cookies were served to couples in the surge. Several hundred balloons were re¬ leased from the ceiling to end the evening. The March turnabout, sponsored by the Booster Club, developed the theme of “It ' s Spring.” Decorations incorporated differ¬ ent phases of the season in various places of the world. Couples attending the dance were entertained by the music of Highway under a ceiling of streamers and kites. !• V i vm V t Ji V 4 u 36 — Student Life «55 ii a . il I 1 Manuel Alvarez, Sherry Corle, and Sue Jensen finish an “It ' s Spring mural. 2 Girls ' Club members decorate the old gym. 3 Chris Monanteras and Mary Ann Drossos check in couples at the door. 4 Mike Haro attempts to hide a basketball rim. 5 Lynn Cummings and Nick Rnich search for familiar faces. 6 Cleveland Thomas and Sherese McWhorter dance to the music of “Highway. 7 Couples enjoy the music at the turnabout. 8 Greg Cartwright and his date pose for pictures.

It is the time when students can no longer concen¬ trate on school work, and the warm weather causes their thoughts to drift to the beach, the golf course, the tennis courts, or, in general, what they could be doing instead of being in class. Early in the season, upperclassmen started to think about the upcoming prom, seniors looked ahead to graduation, and the entire school a- waited distribution of the 1973 Quill and Blade. With the student body as white as ghosts, a number of Wallace students escaped the area to the beaches of Florida to soak up the sun and return with enviable tans. This year, the newly formed Latin American Club organized an entire week of activities which included a luncheon, an assembly, and a Free Verse dance to pro¬ mote an appreciation of Latin culture. Also ethnically oriented, the Girls’ Club sponsored a Balkan dance with the Mini Tones providing music to quoala by. Other annual spring hap- enings, were the Booster Club turnabout, the Athletic banquet, and the music department’s spring concert, this year themed, Springtasia. The season ended as usual on a sour note with students cramming for final examinations. 40 — Student Life Student Life Student Life ACADEMIC AND EXTRA-CURRICULAR HONOR AWARDS Student Council Awards Angie Campbell, Chris Fabian.

To avoid con¬ fusion, the prom was changed to a dinner- dance, with dinner being served upon the arrival of couples. Following the meal, nearly 300 couples danced from eight to midnight to the music of “The Originals. The band played a wide variety of music ranging from slow songs and rock, to polkas, the bunny hop, and the hokey pokey, which couples thoroughly enjoyed. Decorations were very simple. The hall was set off by a floral arch and a water fountain, and on each table were several brandy sniffer can¬ dles. To remember the evening, during the grand march, girls received a necklace with an engraved ring charm on it, and boys re¬ ceived the same charm on a gold key chain. 50 — Student Life 1 Couples dance within the setting of “One Last Dance” at the Serbian Hall. 2 Mrs. Vorko and Coach Polizotto hand out favors to Junior and Senior class officers Tom Wellnitz, Mike Haro, and Mike Uzelac, and their dates Cathy Campbell, Angie Sposito, and Mary Ann Mihalik. 3 Two members of “The Originals” perform for couples. 4 Bonnie Bradford and her date take time out to look at the beautiful decorations. 5 Paula Gayda and her date help themselves to some sausage. 6 Anita Cortazar, Dave Struebig, Denise Lopez, and Mike Sosh present their bids to Mrs. Koester. 7 Lynn Shutz checks the wraps of Cindy Antalla and Nick Gerbick.

As in 1972, both the prom and the post prom shared the same hall. After a short intermission to allow the band time to set up, the quiet setting of the prom was shattered by the loud rock music of Prologue” at the post prom. A buffet of ham sandwiches, potato chips, pop, and cookies was provided for those couples who became hungry as the evening progressed. The dancing continued until four o’clock in the morning, and after a few short hours of sleep, most of the couples headed for a picnic at Turkey Run State Park. 5 plMSft p lioniaa Student Life— Lew Wallace’s 43rd annual Commencement exercises brought an air of seriousness to the seniors of the Class of 1974. On Friday evening, June 5, 492 seniors clad in black and gold caps and gowns were conferred their diplomas by School Board member Joe Torres. Both the valedictory address of Sue Killion, Circuit Breaker,” and Tim Bell’s salutatory address, Resistors, urged the graduates to resist crowd pressures and strive to be indi¬ viduals. Principal Christ Christoff and Dr. Haron Battle also spoke to the gymnasium full of graduates and their relatives and friends. On June 2, prior to Commencement, Bacca¬ laureate services were once again held in the hot and overcrowded auditorium. Father Kew delivered the Baccalaureate address, and Pastor Marvin Troyer presented the Invocation and the Benediction. Following the service, as with the many disappointments the year brought to the senior class, the photographer failed to appear, and the class picture was not taken. 1 Tim Bell stresses the importance of individuality in his salutatory address. 2 Valedictorian Sue Killion addresses graduates and guests at Commencement. 3 Senior choir members perform for the last time. 4 Joe Torres presents a graduate his diploma. 5 With diplomas in hand, Steve Wire and Dorothy Zakula file out the Polk Gym. 6 With the words, “The Class of 1974 is now graduated,” graduates turn their tassles.

Academics Principals provide answers to problems Taking the various problems that occur in a large school and working them out so that the school functions well is no easy task. However, for the principals at Lew Wallace it is part of the daily routine. Besides working together to successfully solve prob¬ lems, each member of the administration has their own duty to perform in the school. Mr. Howard King handles truancy cases and detention. Mr. Alfred Smith deals with those students who request a program change. Mr. Christ Christoff and Mr. Joseph Black involve themselves more directly with the staff and also promote spirit within the student body by aiding and working with organizations in the school. Mr. Donald Staton, a new addition to the administration, is mainly involved with night school at Lew Wallace. This year the administration supported a new atten¬ dance program. Linder the new policy, students were permitted to be absent for ten days before failing the course.

This statement, said by Dr. Gordon McAndrew, Superintendent of the Gary School System, totally supports the School Board ' s stand for quality education. As an approach to get the student’s opinion of School Board action, Tim Bell, Lew Wallace Student Council President, was elected a junior member of the School Board and participated in board meetings.

The secretaries at Lew Wallace spend more time working in the school than most of the other people involved with the school. Their many jobs include handling the money, paying the bills, writing admits, processing college transcripts, answering the phones, keeping attendance records, and typing memos. Although all of the secretaries work as a team, each secretary has her own job to take care of in the office. Each class has a secretary assigned to handle the records of students in the class. A secretary is assigned to the counselors’ office, and one works in the library. One secretary takes care of student obligations, and the head secretary works closely with the principals.

Giving students a basic knowledge of mathematics and the skills they will use in the future is the objective of the Lew Wallace Math Department. A new course in Probabilities and Statistics was in¬ troduced into the math curriculum this year. The probabilities half of the course should be taken by those students who wish to score high in Las Vegas. They learn how to figure and beat the odds. Statistics is a good course for those who wish to work in a social science field. Students learn to figure statistics of ratios, averages and means involving such things as birth rates or I.Q.’s. Other classes in¬ clude algebra, where students learn to find the variables in equations. Geometry students solve problems about geometric shapes and proofs. Seniors take such classes as calculus, trigonometry or general senior math. All classes use calculators to make it quicker and easier to solve the long problems. Observation leads to discovery in science Do you ever wonder how the human body functions or how the earth was formed? What is the speed of light? What is a mud puppy? With its up-to-date facilities, the Lew Wallace Science Department worked to answer these and other scientific questions. Biology students conducted experiments with pond water to study more about single celled plants and animals. Chemistry students spent much of their time working in the lab and learning how to use the slide rule. Through laboratory research, chemistry students found answers to questions about temperature, light, or energy ratios. Physics is designed for students interested in gravitational pulls, energy forces, motion or electricity. Physics students used the ripple tank to see how light travels through water. Life science students raised mud puppies while studying forms of existing life. Top Right: As a reaction occurs in the test tube, Jeffrey Fitts takes notes for a lab report.

Studies look at life with social scope Promoting students social awareness is the goal of the Lew Wallace Social Studies Department. Students begin social studies with world civilization. Here they trace his¬ tory and study each culture as it began and its effect on history as the world flour¬ ished. The next step is American History where students learn about the founding of our country and other aspects of its history. As a senior it is required to take government and economics. Government students learn about the history of our lo¬ cal, county, state, and national gov¬ ernments and how they are run. Some students attended government workshops and sat in on actual court hearings. Economics students learned how to fill out income tax forms and how to read the stock exchange. Classes in Black History, Psychology, and Social Problems are also included within the depart¬ ment. Psychology students learn about hu¬ man behavior. Social Problems stresses the hang ups of our society and how we can overcome these problems. Black History traced the rising trend of black culture in society. In all classes, current events are discussed to keep up with the times. Left: Debra Belton puts up a bulletin board concerning present world civilization studies.

Fantasy. . . Vocabulary . . . Individualized Reading . . . The Jazz Age . . . Witchcraft. . . Shakespeare. . . These titles are just a few of the many new mini-courses offered by the Lew Wallace English Department this year. In the new mini-courses, students gain the freedom of selecting courses that meet their own interest, instead of having to push themselves through grammar or term papers. Because the curriculum was new to the school, it began after a traditional one semester course in a regular English class. During the second semester, students were permitted to choose two nine-week mini-courses. Mini-courses were divided into two groups. Freshmen and sophomores were combined into classes, and upperclassmen were in classes together. Left Center: Nancy Fogle hopes to become more intellectual by taking a course in building vocabulary.

Academics — 71 Foreign languages introduce new worlds Gaining knowledge of the language of a foreign country along with its culture is like becoming part of the country. Lew Wallace, having the largest foreign language department in Northwest Indiana, offers courses in five foreign languages — French, German, Latin, Spanish, and Russian. All languages are studied with textbooks, films, and tapes. Students use the language lab to listen and repeat dialogues on the tapes. At the beginning level, students are taken through the basic words of the lang¬ uage as a class, using dialogues from textbooks along with the corresponding films and tapes. As students advance into higher levels of the language, they go into a more independent study by reading books and writing reports and skits in the language. Top Right: Mrs. Irene Korem gets the tape ready for a German dialogue review. Above: Barb Langel listens to a German tape to get the correct pronunciation of the words.

This year, the choir participated in an annual spring concert in Cleveland, Ohio, where they performed programs for students and adults. The band demonstrated its talents by presenting more concerts to the Lew Wallace student body and also by performing at many area ele¬ mentary schools. Art students were given a chance to express themselves by creating forms of art that displayed their individual talents. In the more advanced commercial art classes students learned the techniques used in commercial advertising. Eight photography students attended the Photography Institute in Rochester, New York, and learned more about photography. The Mouse Who Didn ' t Believe in Christmas was this year’s Christmas play presented to students by drama classes. Later in the year, drama students put their talents to work on the major production, Pride and Prejudice. Far Left: Kenny Dzunda tunes up his trombone before playing in a number with the band.

Academics — 75 P.E. scores with varied curriculum When one enters the Lew Wallace physical education facilities, his mind seems to be put at ease while his body is put to work. Students are required to take two years of physical education, usually in their freshman and sophomore years. Here at Lew Wallace, students have a wide choice of activities to keep them physically fit. The gym is used for students to play basket¬ ball or volleyball. The gymnastic equipment and weights help students strengthen muscles. The Olympic size pool is always used by gym classes. When the weather gets warm, students have class outside and play softball or tennis. Physical education is more than just exercising the body. It also requires classes in health and safety. Safety students learn how to give artificial respiration and all other means of first aid. In health classes, students learn about personal care and the dangers of drugs. After school hours, students can take drivers training. Center Right: James Phillips works his muscles to lift weights on the bench press.

Academics Library becomes hub of study and leisure At Lew Wallace, the library is a place of study and research, or a place where one could relax in a soft chair to read or put the mind at ease. With its many up-to-date books and magazines, the library provides the material needed to complete class assignments. A portion of the library is equipped with a listening center with records that can be checked out for library or classroom use. The television recording system gave students still in classrooms a chance to watch the ceremonies for Martin Luther King as it took place in the auditorium. The soundproof classroom was available for a whole class to have complete access to library facilities without disturbing individuals in the library. Top Left: With projectors in constant use.

Academics 79 Industrial Arts aids in advancing skills Repairing lawn mowers, building engines, designing houses, welding rods, filing away on woodboxes, and setting the guides on the letter press are some of the projects that the industrial arts students undertook this year. In their freshman year, students take the General Industrial Arts course. This one year phase course consists of six indiv¬ idual subjects taken every six weeks. Pupils acquire skills in mechanical drawing, woodshop, metal shop, electricity, print shop, and power mechanics. Specialization within one course takes place in the following years. Print shop students printed programs for many school functions, such as the May Music Festival, turnabouts, Awards Day, Baccalaureate and Commencement.

This year a new course in Consumer Education was added to the curriculum. In this course, students learn to use their own skills and imagination to save money. Students learn to save money on food bills and how to mak e inexpensive gifts or decorate old objects to make use of them. Other courses offered include Interpersonal Relations, where students learn to communicate with the various age groups and also learn to better understand themselves. A course in child development studied the growth patterns of small children. In a married life class students look at the steps of dating that lead to marriage and how to get along in marriage. Interior decorating students learn howto co-ordinate room settings. Be¬ cause all of these courses last for nine weeks, the Home Economics Department adopted a four quarter system. Cooking and sewing are still the main courses in home economics. Sewing classes worked on projects from simple skirts to prom gowns. Cooking students learned about the values of nutrition and prepared meals. For some of their projects, cooking students prepared a Christmas dinner and a Valentine ' s Day Tea for the faculty.

These four fields are visually impaired, hearing impaired, TESOL for non-English speaking students and general special education for students of slower abilities. Students in the visually impaired program attend regular classes and follow a regular school day routine, except for spending one hour a day in the visually impaired lab to have additional help with studies. Hearing impaired students are taught academic sub¬ jects under two teachers. These students communicate by means of manual communication and use of a special hearing machine. TESOL students learn English through the use of special cards, books and other materials. These students study individually until they can handle regular work at their own grade level. Those students enrolled in general special education took some regular classes, but were placed in a special class for help in English, math, science and social studies. 88 — Academics Bottom Left: Flas cards are one device used to learn English by Tesol students.

During the four years that a student attends Lew Wallace, a counselor studies his abilities and interests. While establishing the required high school curriculum, the counselor helps the student plan for further education or a vocation in a specialized field. College Day and College Night sessions acquaint students with the opportunities offered by various colleges. Counselors also deal with the student’s personal, social, and academic problems. The guidance staff helps to solve the student’s personal conflicts and also helps develop the student’s self- reliance. Group guidance is incorporated to help students see how others are approaching simi¬ lar problems. Not only counselors make up the guidance department. The social workers help students with delinquency problems or serious family matters. The school nurse is avail¬ able if a student becomes ill during the school day. She also gives tuberculosis and anemia tests to staff and students. The school psycholo¬ gist aids students with behavior difficulties while adjusting to a daily routine.

Girls Club members traveled there and presented the home with a stereo and many practical items. Carols were added to entertain the old folks. February was the time for the annual Birthday Potluck. Skits and delicious food highlighted the evening where members cele¬ brated each other’s birthdays. The spring brought out not only the flowers, but the club’s Ethnic Dance. Music by the Mini Tones gave everyone the opportunity to learn dances from the Balkan area.

Before each big game, the Booster Club saw to it that the halls were covered with colorful signs praising the Hornets. The bright orange sweaters of the Booster Club Cheering Block could be seen at every major sports event. The club also sold Lew Wallace book covers and booster badges to help raise school pride. Aside from its spirit promoting activities, the organiza¬ tion also held a spring turn¬ about dance. The theme of “It ' s Spring was carried out in the old gym by bunches of flowers, kites, and crepe paper streamers. Music was provided by Highway. The Pom Pon girls also did their job in arousing school spirit. Practices paid off when gay black and gold pom pons were moved about to the music of the Lew Wal¬ lace Band. The girls performed during half-time ceremonies of both football and basketball games. Both groups also involved themselves in other areas of the school.

This year, however, the Lew Wallace Home Economics Club was characterized by fund raising projects and entertaining projects. Members visited Chicago on their annual shopping spree before Thanksgiving. Back at Lew Wal¬ lace, the organization sponsored various after school teas throughout the year for the faculty. The teas were given as a means of show¬ ing appreciation for the staff’s time and effort to make Wallace a good school. Fund raising projects and sales took up the remainder of Home Ec Club members’ time. Candles were sold for Muscular Dystrophy. The girls collected over $340 to donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Drive in the immediate area. Two projects which added to the club’s treasury were the sale of taffy apples and decorative china plates and napkins. Keeping with a new tradition, Michigan City became scene for the Home Ec Luncheon and shopping trip.

Cultivating the qualities of womanhood and orienting itself toward service in the school and the community, Y-Teens, the sister group of Hi-Y, again sponsored a Halloween party for under-privileged children. Thanksgiving proved the time to gather canned goods for needy families, while January was the season of the organization ' s first social gathering, the “Snow¬ ball Fantasy.” During April, the girls sponsored an Easter egg hunt for needy children. Through its fund raisers, Y-Teens was able to purchase sweaters and adopt a child overseas.

The young men began the year with a trip to Purdue University in Lafayette. Touring the university and learning of scholarship availability, the group also had the chance to see Purdue Homecoming activities. In the month of December the club got together gifts and food for needy families. The annual Hi-Y Sweetheart Ball saw Delores Wright reign as this year ' s Sweetheart Queen. In place of the talent show, in the spring, Music Extravaganza” was held. Also keeping members busy in the spring was the campus tour of Fisk University in Tennessee made with members of the Lew Wallace Y-Teens. Organizations depend on Pica Press The Pica Club performs printing jobs for all Lew Wallace organizations. This performance is a necessary service that clubs have come to depend upon. Thus, the Pica Club was a group of service-minded members. Tickets for dances, posters, letter heads, Commencement programs, and Award’s Day certi¬ ficates were just a few of materials printed by the school presses. While supplying the orders, the boys gained specialized skill in printing techniques, as well as recreation. The money earned by the various printing jobs was enough to pro¬ vide members with a pizza party as a final activity in the 1973-74 school year. 4P Top Right: John De St. John tries to find the needed letters.

Organizations HRF pursues racial cooperation Pursuing the goal of promoting better racial relations within the school and community, the Human Relations Forum also sought to have fun. Club members visited the PUSH Expo in Chicago, where black businesses rented booths to display their products. The organization sponsored two dances during the year; both were held at the American Legion and the Roosevelt Pavillion, re¬ spectively. Lunchtime sock hops were held in the old gym to re¬ move some of the afternoon mono¬ tony. The major activity of the year, however, was the student exchange, where selected members attended Roose¬ velt High School in a four day visit. Differences in curriculum and daily routine were examined. The club’s busy schedule, under the direction of Mr. John Hall, left room for a Christmas party for needy children, where Santa himself appeared to spread Christmas cheer.

Mark Twain? a Navy rock band? The National Honor Society stopped the wondering in most cases. The Society brought many guest speakers to Wallace to find the answers to these questions. A variety of topics were presented as programs continued throughout the school year. Under the direction of new sponsor Mr. George Orlich, the society became one of the most active Lew Wallace organizations. A tutor¬ ial program was begun to assist elementary children at Kuny, Pittman Square, and Glen Park schools. Honor Roll students volunteered for this program. Tradition was broken this year when an evening induction ceremony was held in the spring. Every Society member had a role to play in the Spring Induction. By having only one method of raising money, the group held weekly bake sales. By realizing that good students also need a break, members took a field trip to Chicago’s Merchandise Mart.

The members of the choir got together with the direction of Mr. Al Fissinger and made a singing tour to area junior high and ele¬ mentary schools. During the spring vacation, the choir teamed up with the school stage band and boarded buses for Cleveland, Ohio. In Cleveland, these Wallace minstrels sang at junior high schools and an old folks home. To raise money for this spring trip, choir members sold caramel popcorn and held a Carnival Fiesta in March. The carnival featured a raffle, coton candy, balloons, and stuffed animals all adding to the fun¬ time atmosphere. The voices of the choir could be heard many other times throughout the year. The an- anual fall concert, “Let’s Get It On,” featured the talents of students, some not choir members. The spring concert, the National Honor Society’s Spring Induction, and commencement exercises were just a few of the occasions where the musi¬ cal abilities of the Lew Wallace Choir sang strong and true. 4L A kCn Organizations —119 Band tunes up throughout year Pep rallies, parades, concerts, contests, and sports events were all on the Band ' s agenda this year.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Thanks also go to John Giolas for supplying our film and developing our pictures; to Jim Bell for his service; to Jerry Smith for his opening pic¬ tures; to Lee Anne of Taylor Publishing Company for all she did for us in Dallas; to Jim Mara of Indiana School Pictures; to the administration and faculty for their co-operation; and finally, wed especially like to thank Larry Kantroski and Dennis Crane of Paul Vincent Studio for all the time they spent taking pictures when we needed them. Helpers A debt of gratitude is owed to the many people who made this yearbook possible, and I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you. When last year’s annual arrived so late, many people were justifiably angry. The unfortunate thing, however, was that the blame was undeservingly placed on the 1974 staff. Because of this, both our total sale of advertisements and books decreased tremendously. On behalf of the staff, I’d like to say that we really appreciate you students, teachers, parents, patrons, and advertisers who did have faith in us and continued to support us. I’d also like to especially thank my staff and Miss Simon for all of the hard work that you did to make this yearbook not only come out on time, an achievement in itself, but also for adding your own creative ideas to make the 1974 Quill and Blade truly unique. Finally, I’d like to close by personally thanking Lew Wallace High School for giving me four memorable years that I know I’ll never forget Angie Camphell Editor 270
