TALARICO JULY 12, 1931 —APRIL 11, 1964 We have but faith; we cannot know; For knowledge is of things we see; And yet we trust it comes from thee, A beam of darkness; let it grow. Tennyson In his passing we have lost our principal, a great friend and an educator, one who has inspired us on to greater heights. Some things can be replaced, but these deeds can only be substituted. Memory of him will be entwined in our minds and hearts forever. J. H. Roush MEMORIES 1964 Liberty Center High Sehool Liberty Center, Indiana Soaring Through Throughout the twelve years a student attends grade and high school, the times in which he lives change rapidly. Our 12 years have been no exception. While we have been in school, the color television, the H-bomb, and space travel have come into being. Of these, space travel is the most publicized, and every American is fami- liar with John Glenn, Gordon Cooper, and the other astronauts. In a way, we are also astronauts. Our twelve years have flown by quicker than we realized. Our senior year was no exception. We went through it faster than we ever dreamed was possible. We will always remember our dirty senior cords, winning basketball team, senior trip, and most of all, our wonder- ful experiences. Truly, we SOARED THROUGH ' 63- ' 64. 63- ' 64 Table of Contents Opening Section 1 Seniors 4 Administration 12 Faculty 13 School Help 22 Activities 23 Sports 35 Classes 47 Index 60 Advertisements 62 Senior Officers Prepare for Class Trip liberty Center ' s senior class officers take time out on the school steps to discuss plans for the approach- ing senior trip. Shown from left to right are Bill Day, treasurer; Bruce Stanton, president; Becky Bulger, secretary; Mr. James Roush, class sponsor; and Jim Harris, vice-president. Bruce Stanton checks the ledger account to determine whether or not the class has sufficient funds to take their trip through the East in the spring. Jim Harris, meanwhile, uses the adding machine to check some totals as Bill Day, Becky Bulger, and Mr. Roush look on. Due to the fact that the class was finan- cially stable, the seniors lone money-making project this year was the selling of Christmas cards. In the past, they set a record in their magazine campaign. Also during the junior year they sold candy in the fall.

DENNIS LEE SCHMIDT Planning out the class meet- ings and the FFA meetings and then publicizing them are two common jobs of these presidents. The duties of these offices keep both Bruce, who is the class president, and Dennis, FFA president, quite busy. Morning Routines Are Attended to Daily I As part of the morning routine, Mr. Butt gives freshman Cheryl Snyder a lunch ticket and an admission slip to get her into class after she was absent the previous day. This chore is usually handled by Mr. Taldrico , L.C.H.S. principal, but since he was absent this day, Mr. Butt filled in for him. Roy Brinneman is shown in his daily job at the school cafeteria, that of serving milk to those who eat at the cafeteria. Sixth grader Joyce Day re- ceives her glass of milk from Roy. Another morning occurrence for the varsity athletic teams is the taking ol vitamin pills. Dick Harris doles out Bill Day ' s share to him after taking some himself. These are the six men who, in effect, direct the activities and make the policies of Liberty Center High School. Mr. John C. Talarico leafs through a college catalog in his office. Mr. Talarico is our principal and is in charge of guidance at L. C. H. S. Mr. Lloyd Biberstine is shown making out one of the numerous reports that he must complete in his duties as Superintendent of the Southern Wells school system. Administration Plans Consolidated School Pictured are the South- ern Wells School Board members: Ward Showalter, Charles Day, Donald Wil- liams, and Howard Baker. The school board has been very active due to the na- ture of school reorganiza- tion. Mr. John Talarico, in addition to his admin- istrative duties, teaches junior high English. Here he leads the seventh grade in their spelling lesson. This is just one of many such tests that are administered throughout the year to the seventh and eighth graders as a requirement of their course. In addition to spelling drills these young stu- dents study extensively on the eight parts of speech and the parts of a sentence. Book reports, composition work and vocabulary exercises are a few of the other units included in the junior high curriculum. The English curriculum at Liberty Center includes four years of high school grammar and literature. The fourth year is an elec- tive course recommended especially for those going on to college. In addition to the regular grammar, composition, liter- ature classes, juniors and seniors may elect to take a semester of journalism and speech each. The journalism class had practical experience since they are in charge of put- ting out the Southern Wells school paper, The Rebel Review, twice a year and the yearbook Memories , an 80 page volume. English Curriculum Includes Grammar, Lit Mrs. Brenda Payne, who teaches high school English, speech, and journalism, ex- plains to seniors Phyllis Dul- worth and DiAnne Jones, the way to use a reference book. Students are to check author reference books for background material be- fore giving their book re- ports. Mrs. Mable Metz, head of the mathematics depart- ment, explains to some of the juniors in her advanced algebra class, how to use the library to find books pertaining to math. Mrs. Metz, in addition to her teaching responsi- bility, is in charge of the library facilities at Liberty Center. Mrs. Metz teaches all of the high school mathematics from freshman algebra to sen- ior trigonometry and college algebra. In third period of each day, Mrs. Metz teaches a commercial course - business arithmetic. Even with all of this, Mrs. Metz still finds time to head the girl ' s physical education program. Mathematics Program Covers Six Grades Mr. Lewis Captain explains to Randy Raber and Bruce Stanton how an old crank-type tele- phone was constructed. Mr. Captain teaches at Chester H. S. in the morning and travels to Lib- erty Center to teach junior high math and phys- ics in the afternoon. Mr. Captain is responsible for giving the jun- ior high students a solid foundation in arithmetic before he sends them into high school. His third and final class at Liberty is physics, which jun- iors and seniors may take in alternating years with chemistry. This course is recommended for the academic curriculum. Mr. Robert Mossburg checks his mailbox in the morning to see what mail he received. Mr. Mossburg graduated from L. C. H. S. in 1958 and returned to his alma mater to head the so- cial studies department this year. The history department for both junior high and high school is conducted by Mr. Mossburg. This includes seventh and eighth grade history with the latter half of the eighth year being spent on Indiana history. Three years of social studies are offered to the high school students. The sophomores are required to study world history while the juniors concentrate on the history of our own country. Seniors devote their final year with a semester on government and the final 18 weeks on soci- ology. Men Head History, Business Departments Mr. Richard Butt super- vises the office practice class. Mr. Butt is the head of the business de- partment, as well as the head of basketball, base- ball and track. In addition to the of- fice practice class, Mr. Butt teaches bookkeeping, typing, and boy ' s physical education. The office practice class, which he is shown with, meets for one semester with the second semester being business law. 15 Miss Sharon Bickel, home economics instructor, shows eighth graders )ill Kober and Cammy Lieurance how to use one of the dials on the school ' s electric stoves. In addition to teaching home economics to junior high and high school girls, Miss Bickel also teaches junior high science. Miss Bickel and Mr. Roush are also busy with extra-curricular activities as they are in charge of the FHA and FFA, respectively, during the school year. This not only includes monthly meetings, but also joint sponsorship of a spring dance. Mr. Roush is the leader of the summer boy ' s 4-H program, without credit as honor, but which involves a lot of work. Approxi- mately 65 Liberty Center youths are under Mr. Roush ' s direction. Vocational Teachers Guide Our Thinking Mr. James Roush, head of the agricultural depart- ment at L. C. H. S, explains to Phil Dawson the proper way to fill out the agri- culture notebook. Dennis Schmidt and John Collins listen attentively. Mr. Roush also teaches freshman biology, health and safety, and the book portion of freshman driver training. Mr. William Hernandez, instrumental and band instruc- tor for Liberty Center School, as well as the three other South- ern Wells Schools, helps sixth grader John Miller hold his cornet. In addition to the regular bands at the four Southern Wells Schools, Mr. Hernandez also formed and directs a select band known as the Blue Band, which consists of the best musi- cians from the four schools. Band, Vocal Directors Have Eventful Year while the fourth grade class sings in the back- ground, Mrs. Betty Cline, vocal music instructor, plays the piano and leads their singing. Mrs. Cline also teaches vocal music at Jackson Township School. Under the direction of Mrs. Cline, the combined high school choruses of Liberty and Jackson pre- sented a Christmas cantata, Night of Miracles. Miss Martha Linn checks four of her third grade art students ' drawings. This is the first time in several years that Liberty Center has had a quali- fied art teacher for all six elementary grades; previously art was taught by the individ- ual teachers. Miss Linn teaches at all four Southern Wells schools, thus usually spending one day a week at Liberty. Art, Driver Training Taught Once a Week Both Mr. Carnes and Miss Linn spend one day each week at Liberty Center. By this arrangement they also serve at other Wells County Schools. Miss Linn teaches at all four Southern Wells Schools. Liberty Center has 13 full time teachers with 5 teachers who serve the school part- time in science, math, music, driver training, and art. Mr. Eldon Carnes, driver ' s education instruc- tor, is shown at the left leaving the training car, about to embark upon a day ' s duties. Tuesday is Mr. Carnes ' day to teach at Liberty Center. Approximately thirty- five students are instructed in the fundamentals of operating a car during the two semesters of the school year. -- V, n ' v? ' ' - • Playground Watch Adds to Busy Schedule while sitting in the hall at noon, Mrs. Donna Simpson is approached by two of her second grade students. There seems to be some question con- cerning the lunchroom. Mrs. Simpson is ex- plaining how the large amounts of food are pre- pared. Keeping watch over the playground activ- ities is a part of a teacher ' s busy schedule. Above, Mrs. Lenna Rittenhouse and Mrs. Don- na Simpson stop for a short chat while the children play. At the left, Mrs. Rittenhouse conducts a first grade reading class. 19 Industrious Teachers Strive to Stimulate -gmSSS- In teaching reading, Mrs. Flora Kirtley, third grade teacher, uses picture associ- ation with words. This way she feels that students can re- member the words that they find difficult. Above Mrs. Kirtley is showing her tech- nique to Mrs. Frances Clark, fourth grade teacher. Often the grade teachers exchange ideas so that they might bet- ter teaching standards. At the right, Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Kirtley look on as LuAnn Bailey is about to op- erate the new milk machine. Dale Martin and Marsha Gro- ver wait anxiously for their turn. 20 Grade Pupils ' Interests Mr. Ronald Decker, at the right, is shown leaving the school office, about to embark upon his duties as the sixth grade teacher. This is Mr. Decker ' s first year of teaching at Liberty Center. As the sixth graders will be entering junior high next year, Mr. Decker is preparing them for the big step. This preparation comes not only in studies, but in discipline also. Besides serving as a teacher, Mr. Decker is the coach of the fifth and sixth grades basketball team. Planning ahead is essential in any- thing one does. Mrs. Violet Brane, fifth grade teacher, is pictured at the left filling out the teacher ' s plan book for the coming weeks. Arithmetic, spelling, reading, his- tory, health, English, and various other subjects must be made to fit properly into a busy schedule. Mrs. Brane must allow time for the fifth graders ' art and music classes. 21 Bus Drivers, Janitor, Cooks Assist School Bus drivers Orin Bowman, Ben Soper, Pat Garrett, Ike Huffman, and Dwight Pace dis- cuss a variety of subjects rang- ing from the weather, to sports, politics, and the conduct of the youngsters on their respective school buses after they are un- loaded in the morning. n i ' i HB HS % __  -ji -HT t — ' ' Sk SSKm ' ' y i j mEx i||fi|P H ' BT ' M 9B| |k m H 1h ■q fly As one of his early morning duties, Mr. Harold Jones, L. C. H. S. custodian, unlocks the doors to the school. Early each morning he can be found entering the school to fire the boiler. Mike, as Mr. Jones is commonly called, is always ready to be of assistance when he is needed. Keeping the school warm and clean and keeping all equipment running properly are just a few of Mike ' s tasks. Dorma Haiflich and Doris Dun- naway, school cooks, prepare to place another pan of fresh yeast rolls in the school ' s new ovens. Our school help is sometimes forgotten or barely remembered in the mad rush of school activities, but without these eight individuals the functions of our school could never take place. 22 Activities 23 Reorganization Allows L.C. Band to JoIdIi Along with the Southern Wells Schools reorganization, came reorganization of the respective bands. Under the direction of Mr. William Hernandez practices were held during the summer. At the beginning of the school year sixty-three individuals were selected to march in the Southern Wells Blue Band. The band was rewarded for their hard work as they placed fifth in a field of twenty at the Bluffton Street Fair Band Contest. Mr. Hernandez is shown ready to lead the band in a practice number. 24 ewly Formed Southern Wells Rebel Band ROW 1: Cheryl Snyder, Judy Smith, Jill Kober, Cynthia Walburn, Karen Haiflich, Marcia Melton, Lana Buse, Peggy Gerwig, Patty Gerwig.

Seen here are these two choruses in a formal rehears- al under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Cline. Performing at the PTA Christmas program was the big event for the junior high group. The high school chorus was featured in two produc- tions - the Christmas Cantata with Jackson High School and the Spring Festival with all four Southern Wells Schools participating. 27 FHA ' ers Build Homes for America ' s Future ROW 1: Sue Funk, Sonja Cardin, Marlene Mertz, Phyllis Dulworth, Judy Smith, Bar- bara Chism, Miss Sharon Bickle, sponsor ROW 2: Cynthia McElhaney, Delice Snyder.

At right, Mrs. Brenda Payne directs yearbook co-editors Jim Harris and Bill Day on how to lay out grade pages. Taking time out from a busy schedule, the journalism class congregates for a picture. This class is in charge of publishing a four-school news- paper twice a year in addition to writing local sto- ries for the other six issues. 32 Junior-Senior Class Play Headlines April A class play is not just a production put on for two or three nights. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes planning and work to be done. One of the first things to decide IS the play choice. Shown here, Bill Day checks one book of plays as Donna Camp- bell, Reta Gulp, Caro- lyn Leist and Bruce Stanton are ready to give possible sugges- tions. Due to the lack of students in the junior and senior classes of Liberty the past few years, the class play has been a combined junior-senior project. Last year the juniors and seniors presented The Nervous Wreck, a three-act comedy, on April 4, 5, 6. At press time, the actual play had not been se- lected for this year. Class plays are a good experience for those who like to act and have a little ham in them. A play also aids one in speaking before an audience. As Barbara Chism points to the cal- endar as a suggestion for the date of the play, Becky Bulger checks through an- other book of plays. The early part of April was decided upon as the date for the play, which is presented in the school auditorium on a Thursday and Friday evening. 33 Gradesters Use Recesses to Let Off Steam On an unusually warm day during the winter months, these young stu- dents are seen on the play- ground equipment during one of their two daily re- cesses. The grade children also use this equipment during noon hour after they have finished lunch. During the lunch hour, all students eating at the cafeteria must walk over a block to their dinner. In order to pro- vide for the chil- dren ' s safety, high school stu- dents serve as pa- trol boys. Here senior Dick Harris is shown. When the snow falls and the temperature drops, the gradesters are forced inside. Some of the chil- dren stay in their rooms while others, shown here, take to the gymnasium for their daily recreation. Here they can participate in such varied activities as basketball, tag, and rope skipping. 34 Sports 35 Bill Day, o ' ll senior guard, was probably most effective against a zone defense with his outside .shooting ability. Bill took over the starting position after Denny Arch- bold fractured his ankle. Lions Move Forward Togethe Bruce Stanton, 6 ' 2 senior for- ward, was probably best known for his powerful driving ability and outstanding board work. Bruce av- eraged in double-figures throughout most of the season and was a prime factor in many Liberty victories. Senior guard, Denny Archbold at 5 ' 9 1 2 , led the Lions as cap- tain and playmaker of the team. After being hampered with a broken ankle at the first of the season, Denny made an impressive come- back to help the team through the 4-way and sectional tourneys. Dick Harris, 6 ' 5 senior center, combined his towering height and his outstanding shooting ability to lead the team in the scoring column. Dick also led the county in scoring this year with a 23+ point average. 36 Ls They Practice Drills for Coming Games Left to right: Kenny Huffman, Larry Garrett, Jerome Markley, Bruce Stanton, Dick Harris, Coach Richard Butt, John Collins, Jim Harris, Bill Day, Randy Raber, and Denny Archbold. Teaming his extremely accurate shooting ability and his lightning quick moves, Randy Raber, at left, 5 ' 11 junior guard and forward, more than proved his worth as a member of the starting five. At right, Jim Harris, 6 ' senior forward, became noted as the top defensive man on the team. Jim also proved valuable in the re- bounding department, as he pulled down many offensive and defensive rebounds. Lions ' Success Covers Season, Tourneys Liberty ' s tall center, Dick Harris, is shown jumping against Horst Kroner of Jackson in the third quarter of a January 31 Liberty- Jackson basketball game, which was played on the Lion ' s home court. Denny Archbold, Bill Day (24), Jerome Markley (14), and Bruce Stanton anxious- ly await the tip. Our victorious Lions receive the trophy for winning the Southern Wells 4-Way Tourney from Super- intendent Lloyd Biberstine. This marks the third consecutive year that the Lions have rolled over opposi- tion to capture the 4-Way title. 38 Many Factors Contribute to Lions ' Record SEASON RECORD Won Los Liberty 70 Clear Creek 48 Liberty 56 West Rockcreek 47 Liberty 71 East Rockcreek 48 Liberty 56 White ' s Institute 48 Liberty 80 West Union 66 Liberty 69 Warren 44 Liberty 59 Lancaster 47 Liberty 71 Jefferson (4 ot) 73 Liberty 78 East Rockcreek 52 Liberty 55 Hoagland (ot) 61 4 -WAY TOURNEY Liberty 68 Petroleum 48 Liberty 56 Chester 32 Liberty 64 Chester 39 Liberty 89 West Lancaster 58 Liberty 66 Jackson 56 Liberty 77 Bryant 57 Liberty 55 Ossian 68 Liberty 82 Clear Creek 89 Liberty 76 Madison 46 Liberty 93 Petroleum 70 Student manager, Jerry Arnold, is shown putting bas- ketballs into the ball bag for a game. Coach Butt checks the shot chart of the Ossian ball game in an effort to find changes that could be made in the Lions offense and defense. As Dick Harris attempts a shot from the corner, Bruce Stanton and Bill Day move toward the basket to get a possible rebound. Many Lion victories could be looked back upon and attributed to accurate shooting and strong board work. 39 Varsity Pepsters Cheer Team to Victories Mos: people feel that cheering is the only job for the pepsters. Well, varsity cheerleaders Karol Kirtley, Delice Snyder, and Sonja Cardin are seen here fulfilling one of their other duties. Making signs is a big part of the girls ' responsibility as they often boost the fans ' response and the team ' s morale. In addition to the signs, the girls plan the pep sessions. Pom-poms were made with the assistance of the pep club offi- cers for the sectional. Is everybody ready? Varsity cheerleaders Delice Snyder, Sonja Cardin, and Karol Kirtley give the final signal to the pep club as they are about to start a welcoming cheer. Sonja and Delice are in their second year of cheerleading, while Karol is completing her third year. 40 B-Team Captures Trophy at 4- Way Tourney B-team members: ROW 1: Kenny Martin, Kent Day, Sid Raber, Bruce Stinson ROW 2: Larry Garrett, Kenny Huffman, Fred Nash, Eric Funk ROW 3: Coach Richard Butt, Jerry Dulwonh, Jim Burkholder, Mike Harris, Joe Markley An improved record over last year ' s B-team is mainly attributed to the fact that Coach Butt had more than twice the bench strength. Here, freshman Jim Burkholder is shown going after a rebound in the Jackson game. In addition to a better season record, the B-team captured a 4-Way tour- ney trophy at West Lancaster. 41 B-Team, Junior High Pepsters Cheer Teams I Shirley Biberstein and Judy Smith showed much pep during the basketball season as they cheered the B-Team on to victory. The high point of the sea- son was the January 25 winning of a B-Team Tourney. Being able to assist the team in cutting the nets was a big thrill for both girls. This year marked the first time that the girls served as high school cheer- leaders. Shirley previously led yells in her junior high years. Next year the girls plan to be in the tryouts for a position on the varsity cheering squad. Seventh grader Vickie Haiflich and eighth grader Cammy Lieurance are pictured in a practice session before an important junior high game. The girls had many new exper- iences while leading cheers for the junior high team. Cammy served previously as a cheerleader when she was in the seventh grade, and also in the fifth and sixth grades. Being a cheerleader in the sixth grade helped Vickie to gain ex- perience. 42 Junior High Participates in Athletics The seventh and eighth ;ade baseball team pro- ided some exciting ac- ion for their fans, in ad- lition to providing ex- lerience for high school lopefuls. The team had I 3-1 record and were ;outhern Wells champs. lOW 1: David Redding, Job Funk, Jim Pace, Jon ;mith, and Joe Nash lOW 2: Steve Clark, Kent nskeep, Ron Westfall, and 3ary Dawson OW 3: Coach Ronald Decker, Hizzie Eldridge, rhomas Fagan, Kris Dunn, and Bob Bailey Our junior high basketball team did not seem to jell and as a result could never get on the win- ning track. However, as there are several seventh graders and a good team of sixth graders, fortunes for the junior high should get better next year. ROW 1: Jim Pace, Jon Smith, Ron West- fall, Gary Dawson, and Joe Nash ROW 2: Coach Decker, Kent Inskeep, Kris Dunn, Marvin Biber- stein. Bob Bailey, and manager Ron Frank 43 Many Track Records Set by Liberty Lionli pp Track members Jim Harris, Randy Raber, and Bruce Stanton are pictured demonstrating the proper stance for the beginning of a race. Shown in the background are Larry Garrett, Dick Harris, Denny Archbold, Coach Richard Butt, Mike Harris, Kent Day, Kenny Martin, Steve Haiflich, and Bill Day. Track was not an emphasized sport until a few years ago, at which time Coach Richard Butt came to Liberty and encouraged boys to participate in the track and field program. Since then, interest has been revived in track. We also had a cross country meet last fall in which several boys took part. Over the past three years under the leadership of Coach Butt, many new track records have been set. Among these are the high jump, the mile relay, the pole vault, and the broad jump. Dick Harris gives the baton to Bruce Stanton in a practice hand-off for the mile relay. 44 .s Every Person Strives to Do His Best Jim Harris is set in the start- ing blocks for a trial run of the 440 yard dash. Jim also parti- cipated in the mile relay and the broad jump. Here Bruce Stanton is preparing to putt the shot. In addition to this event, Bruce runs in the 440 yard dash and the mile re- lay. Bill Day finishes a prac- tice run of his favorite e- ent, the mile run. Bill also runs the half mile and the mile relay. - JarJ ' iiSS • ■i5t-?r; fi Shown warm- ing up for his e- vent by going through calisthen- ics is Denny Arch- bold.

The 5th and 6th grade basketball team had a better than average season this year by finish- ing with a 4 win 3 loss record. Under the leadership of Coach Ronald Decker, the cubs improved steadily as the season progressed. The sixth graders should form a nucleus for a stronger junior high team next year. 53 Sixth Graders Take Math Speed Tests Eager sixth graders watch Mr. Ronald Decker as he points out the results of the speed tests in arithmetic which the sixth graders took. These tests help determine the students ability to mentally solve various arithmetic problems.

Liberty Strikes Again Coach Butt smiles as he cuts down the last strand of net, as a reward for coaching the Lions to the 1964 Sectional Bas- ketball Championship, their first since 1944. As the fans in the background cheer, the Liberty Center regulars receive the trophy as a symbol of their Sectional Championship. This was the first year the IHSAA has awarded a trophy for winning a sectional title, and the Lions got the first one from the Bluffton Sectional. Shown in a victory pose, the mighty Lions clench their fists in preparation for a Regional at Marion against the Swayzee Speedkings. The Lions gained the Sectional Championship by victories over Chester 68-49, Rockcreek 57-52, and won the title by defeating the Bobcats of Lancaster by a score of 66-61. 80 $ € ' ■
