Published by the Senior Class of Liberty Center High School Liberty Center, Indiana Our MEMORIES is the finishing touch to our high school career. In years to come, this book will bring back the joyous events and trying moments both in the classroom and on the playing floor. Students have graduated from this present Liberty Center School building since 1913. Thus we, the 1963 graduating class, are celebrating a golden anniversary. Therefore, This is our year to remember Contents ACTIVITIES - - 5 organizations, music, class play, clubs sports n varsity, B-team, cheerleaders, junior high CLASSES 31 faculty, daily classes, students, officers We get extra lessons from our CLUBS and ACTIVI- TIES pictured on PAGES 5 THROUGH 16. The teachers learn also from the students at a county tourney victory celebra- tion. We learn from SPORTS, too, as is shown on PAGES 17 THROUGH 30. Many of us learn as players and cheerleaders, while the rest of us learn as fans. Accessing what we have learned, we take a look at our CLASSES on PAGES 31 THROUGH 59.

Eight editions of the paper are compiled, edited, and distributed during the school year. One of the chief problems faced by the staff is writing stories that will break after the paper has gone to press. Co-editors of the Memo- ries, Rex Hunnicutt and Cindy Raber, and Mrs. Brenda Payne, yearbook advisor, discuss the dif- ferent layouts which could be used on the open- ing pages. Approximately 140 year- book subscriptions were sold this year. The year- book became a greater task to put out because of the small number of sen- iors in the senior class. However, we did manage to meet the three dead- lines with a few hours to spare.

The F.F.A. Club has a busy itinerary every year, and this year was no exception. Their first activity was the initiation of Greenhands. Then they sold sorghum which helped them get enough money for their trip to Chicago. Next they entered and placed in livestock, land, and crop judg- ings. They also sold seeds and helped the F.H.A. with the spring dance. while F.F.A. ' ers plan a Chicago trip ROW 1: Mr. James Roush, Randy Raber, Bill Thompson, Jeff Stinson.

Sports 17 Jim Harris, 5 ' 11 junior forward, was perhaps the best de- fensive man on the Lion team. Jim also recovered many help- ful rebounds. Lions mighty in strength Bruce Stanton, 6 ' 1 1 2 junior forward, became an outstand- ing rebounder and gained fine shooting accuracy. Bruce was known as a man out to help the fighting Lion cause. Denny Archbold, 5 ' 9 junior guard, was the floor general on the team this year. Denny ' s unorthodox push -shot enables him to shoot from twenty- five feet away from the basket. Bill Day, 5 ' 10 1 2 junior guard, played his first year on the varsity. Bill gained much experience in ball control and shooting ability. but small in number Get those rebounds may have been the cheer Dick Harris heard in the background. Dick Harris, 6 ' 4 junior center, played his second year of varsity ball and was one of the higher scorers of the season. Dick is well regarded as a good defensive and offensive player. Bill Thompson, 5 ' 10 senior guard and forward, has become known this year by his fast ball handling, fancy passing, and fine shooting ability. Randy Raber, 5 ' 8 sophomore guard, gained much experi- ence in fine ball con- trol. Randy was said to be a good play- maker and a pep pill when the team was lagging. 19 Fine rebounding ability is being shown by forward Bruce Stanton during the tourney game against Jackson. capturing the final THE VICTORIOUS LIONS i.e. 76 Clear Creek 33 L.C. 69 West Rockcreek 49 L.C. 43 Madison 59 L.C. 79 East Rockcreek 48 L.C. 78 Whites 4-WAY TOURNEY 32 L.C. 73 Chester 50 L.C. 67 Jackson 33 L.C. 71 Lafayette Central 29 L.C. 66 Warren 53 L.C. 50 Lancaster 58 L.C. 64 East Rockcreek COUNTY TOURNEY 49 L.C. 68 Petroleum 46 L.C. 72 Jackson 44 L.C. 64 Lancaster 50 L.C. 68 Chester 45 L.C. 103 W.

Principal John Talarico accepts the county tourney trophy for the school from Coach Butt. We finally did it, sighs junior forward Jim Harris as he takes his turn at cutting down a portion of the net. This has made the 3rd county tournament that Liberty Center has won, the first being in 1943 and the second in 1952. coaches, manager, Head coach Richard Butt and assist- ant coach Bill Bussel are reviewing a few of the plays that they will use in ball practice that night. Ed Baublet, who is serving the ballteam as student manager, has many duties which must be done at practice sessions and during a ballgame. One of his jobs of lesser im- portance is sweeping the floor of the Lions ' Den. Is it a look of confusion or curiosity? No, it ' s neither one. Coach Butt is only trying to call an important time-out in one of the tourney games. 22 varsity yell-leaders supporting a common goal Win this game for L.H.S. seems to be the cheer ex- pressed by Bobbie, Cindy, and Karol at the champion- ship game of the county tourney. This year the procedure for selecting varsity cheerlead- ers was changed. In order to try out for the varsity a girl was required to have had one year of high school cheerleading experience. This change resulted in three varsity cheerleaders instead of two as in the past. All other girls were eligible to try out for the second team with two girls being chosen. Representing the varsity this year are Bobbie Klefeker, sophomore and high school cheerleader for two years; Cindy Raber, senior and four-year member of the cheerleading squad; and Karol Kirtley, sophomore and also a second year yell-leader. 23 second team action provided by seven KNEELING: Phil Dawson, Jerome Markley, John Collins, Larry Garrett.

Sophomore Sonja Cardin with an everlasting smile was always willing to try something new. Sonja Cardin and Delice Snyder, B-team cheerleaders, were both new in the roll of high school cheerleading.

The girls found time to practice their yells during free study halls and at night after school. They also planned many clever mo- tions for their yells. Junior high ballteams as well as other teams need a good cheering section.

Rosemary Walburn and Vicki Haiflich represent the sixth grade, and Patty Gerwig and Joyce Day have been chosen to represent the 5th grade. 49 Wow! Those cute freshman girls.

Martha Bozell and Char Sellers, senior members and the originators of this plot, seem to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. high school antics An early basketball season pep session was the scene of a skit presented by the basketball players and cheerleaders. Each ball player represented a teacher and the plot involved a court scene including a judge and jury, who were to decide the winner of the coming Madison-Liberty game. Each year the F. F.
