Roush, class spon- sor, looks on helpfully. Senior Jim Grover is shown dis- tributing copies of the school pa- per, The Liberty Bell, to students after a rousing pep session in the gymnasium. As shown in this picture, sleeping, visiting, and sometimes working are among the favorite pastimes of the members of the senior class during a typical study hall. busy Jrs. working on class projects The junior class officers, Martha Bozell and Charlotte Sellers, news reporter; Jim Barcus, president; and Cindy Raber, secretary -treas- urer, try to agree on a ring style while Mr. Richard Butt, class spon- sor, looks on. Busy is a very appropriate descrip- tion of the juniors. During the year, they conducted class projects including the sale of magazines, concessions, and a sock hop.

The beginning and end of each period is announced by a buzzer-bell com- bination located in each classroom. The students are allowed from 2 1 2 to 5 minutes to change classes. As shown in the picture, this allows plenty of time to stop by the water fountain and the bulletin board. This picture might well be labeled Cafeteria Cla- mor. For an hour each school day, the place is in full swing, as students from all 12 grades enjoy a break from studying, get their fill of food, and discuss the prob- lems of the day. The majority of the upper six grades may be found right here in the study hall at noon. It just seems to be the perfect time to let loose and cut up just a little. In the corner by the windows are the seniors in their usual gathering place while the sophomores and freshmen occupy the other side of the room. 17 . . . sixth graders preparing for Jr. High The sixth graders are putting on their coats, getting ready for recess, an important part of their day.

Holding a Bachelor of Science De- gree, Mrs. Brenda Payne began her teaching career at Liberty Center this school year. She graduated from Ball State Teachers College in 1961 with a major in language arts and a minor in history. Mrs. Payne teaches English in grades eight through twelve, serves as newspaper and annual advisor, and sponsors the seventh grade. Mrs. Payne prepares to present one of her classes with a reading assignment in literature. 24 Mrs. Payne and some of the seniors look over news- papers and annuals as they begin work on their jour- nalism projects, editing the Liberty Bell and the Memories. Knowledge A Bachelor of Music Degree and a Masters of Music Degree were a- warded in 1958 and 1961 respec- tively to Mr. William Hernandez. Upon graduation from the Chicago Conservatory College of Music, he had a major in music and a minor in English. Three of his five years of teaching have been spent at Liberty Center where he directs band and chorus, and teaches seventh grade English. Seventh graders Sid Raber and Shelvia Basey name the parts of speech in the sentence as Mr. Hernandez keeps a close check. Taking time out to help the band mem- bers person- ally, Mr. Hernandez clears up a rhythm prob- lem for the drummers. Practice ! Practice ! Practice ! Here Mr. Hernandez directs the band in one of its daily rehearsals. Seventh period each day is devoted to just such a rehearsal. mm £ i! we gain from our teachers Mrs. Metz directs Jerome Markley, Richard Armantrout, Dorothy Millington, and Delice Snyder, eighth grade students, in the location of a country on the globe as they begin their study of weather and climate. Here Mrs. Metz finds the blackboard a big help to her as she explains some of the basic laws of geometry to the sophomore geometry class. Mrs. Mable Metz, with a total teaching career of 28 years, has spent 10 of those years at Liberty Center. She has over 5 1 2 years of college training from Manchester College, Marion College, Purdue University, Indiana University, The University of Michigan, and Yale Traffic School. as a Mr. James Roush has spent seven of his nine years of teaching at Liberty Center where he conducts classes in agriculture and science, his college majors. He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Purdue University and a Masters of Art Degree from Ball State Teach- ers College. The sophomore agriculture boys, under Mr. Roush ' s guidance, begin a study of the various cuts of meat with the charts picturing these cuts. Besides serving as a teacher Mr. Roush acts as advisor to the Future Farmers of America and as adult boys ' 4-H Leader. Adult classes are also conducted by Mr. Roush each Tuesday evening at the school where they learn about welding and similar arts. Erma Buse, Judi Niblick, and John Col- lins, Fresh- man biology students, look on alertly as Mr. Roush be- gins an ex- periment. 27 preparation Mrs. Bussel shows three history stu- dents from the Junior Class how to locate a cer- tain country on the globe. Mrs. Anna Bussel has been teach- ing at Liberty Center her entire teaching career of four years. She graduated from Ball State Teachers College in 1958 with a Bachelor of Science Degree and a major in social science and a minor in home economics. Be- sides serving the school as a teach- er, she acts as advisor to the Future Homemakers of America and as adult leader to the girls ' 4-H Club. As the cheerleaders ' advisor, Mrs. Bussel, inspects one of the newly purchased skirts. 28 Teaching Home Economic girls how to sew is one of the many jobs of Mrs. Bussel, their teacher. for going Mr. John C. Talarico holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Manchester and a Mas- ter of Arts Degree from Ball State Teachers College which were awarded to him in 1953 and 1957 respectively. His college major was in social studies and his minor was in English. Seven of his nine years of teaching have been spent at Liberty Center and he has served as principal for four of those years. Guidance work is included in Mr. Talarico ' s schedule, al- so. Here he helps freshman Sue Funk with the selection of her high school subjects and talks over the cost of col- lege versus the good gained from a college education. He helps many such students select the proper school cur- riculum to suit their plans for the future. Mr. Talarico also teaches a class in sociology. Here seniors Kahlia Reece, Rex Brinneman, and Jim Gro- ver receive their textbooks to be used for the class. As principal Mr. Talarico must keep records of at- tendance and enrollment, make state reports, fill our forms of recommendation, set up the school calendar and schedule, coordinate school activities such as basketball with activities of the community and with other organizations, and take care of dis- cipline problems referred to the office. As guidance director he works to aid the student in the selection of his courses and the furtherment of his education. on through more schooling - -%tt y cii ■MP™, , .. 1 { MA : mmm iJM$Aem Z ' ? ' . i P Bj Mr. Butt takes time to explain a problem to Bill Kirtley and Larry Lieurance while Junior Brenton and Richard Frantz begin work on a new bookkeep- ing project. Mr. Richard Butt holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Manchester College which was awarded him in 1958. His entire teaching career of four years has been spent at Liberty Center where he serves as varsity coach, secretary-treasurer, and teaches commercial classes. Counting money is one of the many tasks Mr. Butt performs. Since he serves the school as treasurer, he gets to hold a lot of money, a job he surely must enjoy. A broken typewriter gets special attention from Mr. Butt as he demonstrates to Bruce Stanton and Ron Leiter how they can be type- writer repairmen for those minor break-downs. Meanwhile Dick Harris, Jim Harris, and Danny Archbold continue typing their lesson, completely unconcerned with Bruce ' s problems. 30 and life Holding a Bachelor of Science Degree from Ball State Teachers College, Mr. William Bussel has been teaching at Liberty Center three out of his four years of teaching. Upon his college grad- uation in 1958 he held two majors in social science and physical education. He coaches the B team and teaches junior high. With a doubtful, worried look on his face, Mr. Bus- sel jumps to his feet during one of the second team games. Evidently the action at the other end of the floor had become quite interesting. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Bussel and the rest of the class, Jerry Arnold attempts to construct, on the blackboard, a circle which will be used in solving an area problem. With little trouble Mike Harris points out the country of Spain to his fellow class- mates in seventh grade history class. 31 the elementary teachers Mrs. Brane and Mr. Yager examine closely some of the books in the sixth grade library. There is just such a library in each class- room which is kept supplied by the Bluffton Public Library. Mr. Wayne Yager has com- pleted his sixth year of teaching experience with his first year at Liberty Center. A Bachelor of Science Degree was awarded him upon grad- uation from Manchester College in 1956. Besides serving as a teacher to the sixth graders, he coaches the fifth and sixth grade basketball team. Mrs. Violet Brane received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Goshen College in 1950 where she specialized in elementary teaching. Out of her 25 years of teaching experience five years have been spent at Liberty Cen- ter. 32 teaching their young pupils Mrs. Clark helps Mrs. Kirtley arrange her bulletin board as the third graders begin studying the United States of America. Each six weeks a new display is put on the bulletin board by each class. Holding a license in inter- mediate grammar from Ball State Teachers Col- lege, Mrs. Francis Clark has been teaching at Li- berty Center 10 years. She serves as teacher to the fourth grade. Mrs. Flora Kirtley, third grade teacher, has been at Liberty Center for the past six years. She graduated from Peru High School and attended State Normal University, Illinois. Mrs. Kirtley has also been work- ing very hard on her degree. 33 ' readin ' , ' ritin ' , and ' rithmetic ' Mrs. Rittenhouse is showing Mrs. Simpson one of the books used in her class. When comparing notes, the teachers are able to exchange teaching ideas and experiences. By the two apples on Mrs. Simpson ' s desk, it appears she has gained favor with her students. Mrs. Donna Simpson has completed her eighth year at Liberty Center. She attended school at North Manchester College and Ball State Teachers College and received her Bachelor of Science Degree in 1961. Mrs. Lenna Rittenhouse, first grade teacher, holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Marion College awarded to her in 1950. A total of 15 years have been spent by her at Liberty Center. 34 and the lessons in playing together. Recess was always such a good time to let out some of that ex- cess energy which we had stored up during school hours. Shown are the lively third graders rush- ing through the doors to enjoy the twenty minutes of laughter and fun which goes with every recess. _ • .« i fls u «F - ' ■ - --- — f ' : - - - ' :■ - The new playground equipment, which was placed behind the gymnasium for safety precaution during the summer, provided many hours of fun for the little gradesters. Recess period was al- so a time when good sportsman- ship and citizenship were taught to the young children by the teachers. A refreshing drink al- ways tasted good fol- lowing an active re- cess. First, second, and third graders are shown getting their drink before return- ing to another class. 35 school help — often forgotten heroes Relaxing after delivering over 300 students to the school of learning are our five bus drivers. Stand- ing are Orville Gerwig, Pat Garrett, and Orin Bow- man and kneeling are Boyd Cardin and Ben Soper. As driver instructor, Mr. Eldon Carnes taught many students the techniques of good driving. Janitors Mount and Ada Garrett make a final cleaning of the water fountain before end- ing another day of care for the schoolhouse. Cooks Doris Dunnaway and Dorma Haiflich receive plenty of help from high school students who have volunteered to serve in some job at the cafeteria. Pictured are Sara Jane Holloway, Bill Day, Ron Os- walt, Jim Harris, Bruce Stanton, and Bill Kirtley, giving a helping hand at the lunch period. 36 • • . . . activities 37 marching band adding Drum Majorette, ERMA BUSE CLARINETS: TROMBONES Judy Smith Kris Dunn Cynthia McElhaney Steve Haiflich Linda Dunn Bill Kirtley Karol Kirtley Sue Funk HORNS: Sam Habeggar Jon Smith Susan Poulson Cammy Lieuiance BARITONE: Jill Kober Ron Leiter Cheryl Snyder Eric Funk Shelvia Basey Cynthia Walbum TUBA: Bill Day TRUMPETS: Bruce McClurg Kathy Frantz Dennis Redding DRUMS: Ronnie Oswalt Bob Funk Kenny Huffman Kent Day Karen Soper Karen Glass SAXOPHONES: FLUTES: Marcia McElhaney Peggy Gerwig Marcia Melton Lana Buse Dian Redding Mary Jane Vice Chris Hall Delice Snyder 38 spirit to school events All the hard work and worry finally paid off for the Lionettes. For over a year the band had been working steadily to raise the money for new uniforms. Then on September 11, Mr. William Hernandez, band director, and Mr. Rinear Funk, P. T. A. president, drove to Cincinnati to pick up the new uniforms so they could be worn in the fair festivities that month. The uniforms follow a new style whereby the basic color is the neutral color gray, and the school colors are carried out in the braid and trim on them. The twirlers ' uniforms are white with gold buttons and braid. Four ap- pearances were made by the band in the Bluff- ton Street Fair in September. Halloween found the Lionettes in action at Berne and they provided entertainment at the 4 Way Tourney. MAJORETTES: Linda Dunn, Karol Kirtley, Judi Niblick, Nancy Klefeker, and Bobbie Klefeker. Not only did these girls lead the band at parades but they provided entertainment at basketball games by perform- ing various, original routines at halftimes. . . . relaxation through music Members of the high school chorus, Judy Smith, Barbara Chism, Marcia McElhaney, Sue Funk, Erma Buse, Chris Hall, Ilene Mann, Carolyn Biberstein, Kahlia Reece, Judi Niblick, and Barbara Baublet, gather around the piano as Karen Soper gives them their starting note.

A girl becomes eligible for membership in the Girls ' Athletic Association when she enters the seventh grade. Through activities in her physical education classes and outside activities, she is able to earn points. After the first year of completion in GAA and payment of dues, she receives a first year pin. Earning 1000 points entitles her to a letter and four completed years of membership is acknowledged by a pin with guard. After four years, Honorary Membership is awarded. Tallying up the score sheets, the GAA offi- cers Becky Bulger, treasurer; Carolyn Leist, secretary-re- porter; Karol Kirtley, president; and Linda Dunn, vice-president, take time to enjoy a chat with Mrs. Metz, sponsor.

The Junior-Senior Class Play for 1961 involved twelve characters which are shown here with the two student directors, K. Reece and R. Brinneman. The class play for 1961 was GRAN- DAD GOES WILD. The play in- volved Grandad and a tramp, Hoo- ley, who were going to make a fortune from their rattrap invention. Distinguished guests arrived at the old man ' s home to visit his daugh- ter and then confusion occurs. The tramp really was swindling Grandad ' s savings. The mystery -comedy was full of suspense to the very end. YOU ' LL DIE LAUGHING was the mystery - comedy presented in 1962. It involved a college boy, Kim, who went to an old farmhouse as an heir to the deceased owner and his stuttering friend, Tommy, who loved horror shows. Ghosts appeared, the maid died laughing and a valuable gem disap- peared. In the end, the gag was uncovered. All the heirs and ghosts were members of the college drama class and were trying to scare Tommy into not going to the movies. The surprise ending was very suspenseful and humorous. comical Junior-Senior Class Plays Play practices, which were held nearly every evening, meant a lot of fun for the charac- ters that were doing so much work getting ready for each pro- duction. 46 The Senior Class sold 150 yearbooks in the subscription drive and approximately $700 in advertisements. After four laboring months the final yearbook pages were sent to the publishing company. The school newspaper, The Liberty Bell, was published by the Senior Class eight times throughout the school year. Each issue of the paper took approximately one month to have stories written and to receive the paper from the printery. Circulation of the school paper reached 350 during the school year.

The attendance then was almost as high as it was at home games. Evidently the action under the basket has become quite exciting, and the fans are making sure they don ' t miss a thing. urging them on to victory Toward the end of the season, pep sessions became almost a weekly occurrence. This pic- ture was taken at one of these pep sessions held in the assem- bly on the day before the Os- sian-Liberty game. When asked to stand up and holler, the fans did. A portion of the upper six grades is shown as they yell, Yea, Rah, Liberty ! Liberty Center was able to boast a Pep Club membership of 60. At games, nearly 80 sat in the cheer block to boost their Lions. For some of the away games and for tourneys, the members wore white blouses, sweaters, or shirts. Throughout the year, new yells were introduced by the cheerleaders, learned quickly by the Pep Club, and delivered effectively at the ballgarnes. Pep ses- sions were held regularly for the purpose of perfecting all yells and molding the Pep Club into a smooth-functioning organization. Kahlia Reece served as president. It was her duty to keep a record of attendance for each member. This established the basis on which awards were given to members at the close of the ball season. Besides be- ing able to boast about the Lions, L. C. can boast about their Pep Club and fans. Liberty students never realized the talented ballplayers they had until this turn-about pep session. As pictured Bill Thompson and Larry Lieurance donned skirts and wigs to lead the pep club in yells while the cheerleaders, dressed in warm- ups, played four teachers, representing future opponents, in a game refereed by Bob Harris and Bob Clark, com- plete with dark glasses and tin cups. The final score was 104 to 2, favor of the Lions. . . . F.H.A. — F.F.A. fun and frolic MM I 1 1 No, the FFA isn ' t recruiting girls into their organization. It ' s rough initiation time for John Collins, Jeff Stinson, Kenny Hannah, and Randy Raber. For one whole day these fellows carried their books in cans and upon sight of one of their superiors, gave eloquent speeches. At the 1961 FHA-FFA Spring Dance, Jean Buse crowns Cindy Raber as FHA queen. V «s§ , Stepping high at the Bluffton Free Street Fair are the Lion- ettes as they make one of their five appearances there. The special day is Kids ' Day and the band leads the parade of Liberty Center students. The FHA girls also had to undergo rough initiation. They are shown here wear- ing the outfits and hair-dos styled for them by the sen- ior girls. Although they dress like this for just one day, a week is devoted to their complete initiation. 50 . sports 51 the mighty Liberty Lion basketball Bob Harris, 6 ' 3 senior forward, led the team in total points scored and became outstanding in the rebounding and foul shooting department. Larry Lieurance, 6 ' 3 senior center, became an outstanding rebounder and attained great accuracy in his shooting skill. Kenny Kirtley, 5 ' 10 sen- ior forward, became an excellent defensive man and recovered many re- bounds which helped the fighting Lion cause. Dick Harris, 6 ' 3 sopho- more forward, played his first year on the varsity and became a starter by the end of the basketball season. Bill Thompson, 5 ' 9 junior guard, became noted for his good ball control and his last second shots which won games. Denny Archbold, 5 ' 7 sophomore guard, gained much experience in ball control and in shooting in his first year of varsity bas- ketball. 52 team who roared to many victories As Larry Lieurance jumps at center, the remaining Lion players prepare to receive the ball and begin action in the Union Center game. Bob Clark, 5 ' 11 senior guard, was noted for his fast ball handling and his accurate left-handed jump shots. Four weeks of hard, grueling practice were needed by Coach Butt to get his team ready for the rough season which lay ahead. 53 capturing the Coach Richard Butt, in his third year as varsity coach, built his team into one of the best ball clubs every to come from Liberty Center. Shortly before the Coun- ty Tournament, Coach Butt was named as the Area Coach of the Week for Northeastern Indiana be- cause of his team ' s undefeated record which had extended to 12 before defeat. Junior Ron Heron, shown packing away suits, served his first year as student manager for the basketball and baseball teams.

Cheerleaders Bobbie Jean Klefeker and Karol Kirtley supported the B team with much enthusiasm throughout the entire year. cheerleader enthusiasm Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar, all for Liberty stand up and holler! And holler they did. With the team holding such a good record, the cheerleaders found the fans ready and will- ing to support the Lions. Parents and students alike gave their full cooperation and assistance. Tourneys found an attendance of 80 in the Lions ' cheer block - 80 who yelled with the enthusiasm of twice that many. Cindy and Karen were welcomed back for their third consecutive year as high school cheerleaders. Bobbie and Karol, both freshmen, were new to the yelling squad but soon got into the swing of things. Although the two groups yelled separately for season games, they combined at tourney time to yell as a group of four. Cindy Raber and Karen Soper strike a fa- miliar pose as they get ready to lead the pep club in a yell of encouragement. Here are the cheerleaders as they appeared at tourneys - a group of four.
