BULLDOG 1974 MENTONE HIGH SCHOOL MENTONE, INDIANA VOLUME 27 It’s over—this year, last year, and the years before. The many years of col- orful history have flown by. The years of silly quibbling whether to join or not to join Mentone High School with Akron High School are over. The crowds of stu- dents rushing from class to class, saying hello and good-bye in an instant, are gone. The school song, the colors, the mascot have all been aired for the last time. MHS now exists only in the memories of her alumni, memories full of events im- portant to high school students. The goals of the founders of MHS have been carried to here; now the community is laying the foundations for their own goals. NOW is brought to attention. How the students will be mixed, what im- provements in the academic program will be made, where the sports program will go, how clubs will reorganize, where loyalties will develop; these are the questions now. What is the uncertain future? MHS is gone. WHERE WILL WE GO FROM HERE?

Alumni remem- bered past homecomings, students wondered about the future of home- comings, and everyone watched and felt how this was the final homecom- ing for MHS. Mornings practices gave candidates a chance to find their places while the stage band members rehearsed the theme song “Yesterday Once More , and they gave time for the set to be made. On the night of December 7, a ca- pacity crowd listened as Sue Ellen Mabie introduced freshmen, sopho- mores and junior representatives. Then the Senior runners-up were given. Last year’s king, Gary Peters and first run- ner-up Jackie Haist, crowned the last MHS Homecoming King and Queen, Jerry Hudson and Cheryl Clampitt.

OUR TOWN Mentone took a serious side in presenting Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town”. After two previous years of comedies the drama provided a change for patrons and cast members alike. Costumes and hairstyles depicted the 1900 setting of the stage. George Gibbs and Emily Webb were portrayed by Dan Cooper and Linda Decker. The young sweethearts fall in love and are married by the stage manager, Stan England. Stan tells of the people in the small New Hampshire town and sets the imaginary scenes for each act. ‘This is the way we were in our growing up, our living, and in our dying,” Stan comments, and that is how it was in “Our Town”. Emily dies while giving birth to her second child. She discovers that humans don’t understand life while they’re living it. When Emily tries to return for her twelfth birthday, the feelings of closeness and love are not there as she thought they might be. Emily returns to her grave and quietly waits, like those before her, for the “eternal something” to happen. Joining hands to form a circle, the cast carried out a tradition before each performance. Mrs. Yeiter would encourage each to do a good job and to “break a leg”. Brett Hackworth, unfortunately, took the saying literally, and was replaced by Brian Welch in the part of Mr. Webb. Many compliments were paid to the cast members as they concluded the March 29 and 30 production of “Our Town”.

With penny-a-vote campaigning, the seniors managed to squeeze out over $120 worth of votes. Max Meiser resorted to a mailbox as a bank in hopes of gaining a little more attention and more pennies. Large plastic containers were obtained from the school kitchen to serve as makeshift banks. Students and faculty were repeated- ly cornered during the week long com- petition between classes; at lunch time money was begged and bugged from “victims.” A chart, hung outside the annual office, displayed a daily reminder of each candidate’s progress. Votes were counted by Mrs. Hall each afternoon. Concluding a five-year tradition at MHS, Bill Boggs announced the win- ners and runners-up during a morning convocation on May 8. The week long campaign found students a little poor- er and the yearbook fund a little rich- er. The money raised by the contest helped to keep the BULLDOG one of the few things that didn’t raise in price. 13 PIECES OF The scene of the Junior-Senior prom was the Colonial Inn at Rochester, overlooking Lake Manitou. The song “Pieces of April” was the theme for the evening. The Jarvis Brothers entertained everyone with their music; both fast and slow songs were played. During the band’s breaks Mr. Charlie Fellers entertained everyone by teaching a few square dance steps. Many enjoyed the change in music. Dinner was served at seven, with candles decorating each of the many tables. Refreshments were served during the dance by Theresa Edwards. Following tradition the Prom was given by the Juniors for the Seniors. It was a very special evening for all and turned out to be one of Mentone’s largest proms.

Golden “M” trophies, and the ping- pong trophy were ail awarded or an- nounced on Awards Day, May 16. Presenting the Accounting honors, Mrs. Acker said that students with an “A” average included Cindy Fawley, Jeff Schwenk, and Cathy Tucker. They had devoted much time in com- pleting the assignments. Sunshine Society recognized Sue Ellen Mabie, Science; Dave Couture, and Connie Lowman as Sunshine Girl of the Year. Times Union awards went to Sue Ellen Mabie, Science; Daev Couture, Math; Kris Bush, Social Studies; Kip Hoffer, English; Brett Boggs, Foreign Language. State scholarship certificate winners included Mark Brown, Kris Bush, Dar- rell Dunnuck, Kip Hoffer, Jerry Hud- son, Lee Ann Jones, and Sue Ellen Mabie. Senior office help included Kris Bush, Sue Ellen Mabie, Vicki Crissing- er, Lee Ann Jones, Candy Smythe, and Kevin Owens. Kip Hoffer and Sue Ellen Mabie were each awarded certificates for outstanding achievements in scholar- ship, leadership, and citizenship, and admitted with distinction to Purdue University and Indiana Central Col- lege, respectively. Valedictorian and salutatorian trophies were presented to Sue Ellen Mabie and Kip Hoffer. COURSES CREATE IDEAS Little lab creatures were stabbed, torn, and mutilated as Biology I classes tried their hand at dissecting for the first time. Earthworms, clams, and frogs were studied for their internal structures and different body systems during the year. The Advanced Biology Class worked worked with fetal pigs for a more in- tense study of the circulatory systems and body organs. Students boiled lab- oratory frogs to clean the skeletons for observation. Chemistry classes worked with many formulas and studied chemical reactions. Electricity, gravity, and light waves were only a part of the many forces observed by the Physics class. Earth and General Science classes studied various subjects including physical concepts of the earth. Mr. Gamble, Mrs. Jane Hall, and her substitute, Mrs. Welch taught the six different science courses. Problems, theorems, and equations racked the minds of many math stu- dents. They spent the months adding and subtracting, dividing and multi- plying. Mr. Hinkle explained Algebra 1,11, HI, and Advanced Math theory to stu- dents. Conducting General Math clas- ses, Mr. Weber taught students the finer points of decimals and fractions. Mrs. Acker handled the Business Math class.

Students were involved in writing essays and research papers, giving impromptu and formal speeches, and reading. Preparing for college, Mrs. Hoffs English IV class spent the year writ- ing. ‘To Kill a Mockingbird” was read by the junior classes. They also saw the movie. English II classes studied Julius Caesar. Fundamen- tals were reviewed in English I. Semester courses in Journalism and Speech were offered. Mrs. Yeit- er explained techniques in writing and lay-out for a newspaper. In Speech, cuttings were done for other classes. A puppet show was designed and performed by stu- dents for the lower grades. 22 ADDITION TO LANGUAGE DEPT n French was added to the foreign language program this year, replacing Latin. Fourteen students chose to study French and some of the customs. Daily Practice in speaking and writing gave students a chance to learn the new language. Plans were made to attend a French restaurant, but were cancelled because of the gas shortage. Spanish classes either began or continued learning the language through translations and dialogues. Students saw films on South American countries and received some experience in Spanish dancing. Opposite page top: Mike Howard studies a question on a literature test.

History and managed to cover many chapters dealing with presidents, politics, and social problems. Films of World War 1 and World War 11 helped to create interest along with other films. Current events were also used as discussion material during Mr. Igney’s classes. Napolean, Prince Henry, and Peter the Great were just a few of the many world leaders discussed during World History class taught by Mr. Marsh. Worksheets were completed every day and discussed the following day. Daily lectures helped to cover the material.

Wayne mental hos- pital, and delving into each individ- ual’s different hassles, trying to help them realize why they felt that way. As they watched Dr. Claussen put the “brave” seniors under a hypnot- ic spell, they were in awe at the power of suggestion. Many movies were watched about what seniors feel as their “life style” changes, and what will be expected of them in the future. Psychology class helped seniors to realize their po- tentials and gave each a start in reaching their individual goals. Basic fundamentals in govern- ment function were studied in Gov- ernment classes. Citizenship was stressed as an important part of be- ing an American. 25 ART ADDS COLOR Art classes had worked with var- ious things last year. Art II classes spent a few weeks on macrame. Macrame consisted of various types of knots, which when you knew those you could create anything. Many students made necklaces, hanging ornaments, and even a lamp shade! Art 1 classes learned the basic rules needed for art. They learned perception, depth, the color wheel, and also paper constructions. In pa- per constructions, they formed ani- mals varying from dogs to giraffes. Altogether, the art classes deco- rated halls with their new ideas and by painting the windows during Christmas. 26 SKILLS REQUIRE PRACTICE Again this year, MHS offered various business courses to stu- dents interested in pursuing a ca- reer in business. Typing I, the largest class, oc- cupied three periods a day. Stu- dents learned the basic rules of typing and how to handle the machine. Students completed various assignments, including memorandums, tabulating exer- cises, reports, letters, invoices, purchase orders, voucher checks, and personal data sheets-high- lighted by the major project, a 6-page research paper. Practice was the key factor in learning the skill of fast and accurate typing. Typing II class members worked to refine the fundamen- tal typing skills. Problems be- came increasingly more challeng- ing in that students were re- quired to use judgment gained through prior experience in set- ting up reports and tabulations. In second semester clerical prac- tice the girls typed more elabor- ate reports, legal papers, and letters. They gained experience in composing various types of business letters. A great deal of time was spent learning the in- dexing rules for filing, and typ- ing index cards and filing them. Accounting I and II classes spent a great deal of time on practice sets, giving each stu- dent a chance to learn the fun- damentals of bookkeeping. Creating problems that one might incur in the future, Busi- ness Math gave students a chance to learn the concepts of num- bers. Opposite page top: Finished products displayed.

In chorus, students were able to display their talents at the annual Christmas and spring concert pro- grams. Students earned merits and medals participating in music contest. Tentative plans were made for spring tour. Senior band members were honored at the last home ballgame. Awards for band and chorus members were given at the spring concert. Stage Band Row 1: N.

Their first appear- ance came during the Christmas pro- gram singing “Silent Night.” Earning a first at music contest, Mellodears continued to practice for spring tour with the band. Triple Trio gained recognition at contest by earning second place. Four new members joined the group. Per- forming at the Christmas program and on spring tour the Triple Trio prac- ticed weekly to achieve their three- part sound. Four Sharps and a Flat sang “Good King Wenceslaus” for their Christmas special and performed for the spring tour. The three groups combined to dec- orate the gym and fill sacks of candy for the annual Christmas program. With spring came the annual spring tour. After weeks of practice the three vocal groups were ready to perform on tour with the band. “Blowin’ In The Wind” was selected by Triple Trio. Mellodears harmonized on “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” and “Oh Baby Mine.” “Jonah Swal- lowed The Whale” was sung by Four Sharps and a Flat. Both the female vocal groups com- bined at the end of May for a final performance. “Climb Every Moun- tain” was chosen by the senior class for graduation exercises.

HOME EC: “A CLASS FOR EXPERIENCE” Home economics is an elective class offered to freshmen through seniors. First year home ec consists of a semester each of consumer education, inter-personal relationships, and a unit of first aid. While studying consumer education, students do such activities as making their own non-emotional advertisements, conducting skits showing the right and wrong ways to return merchandise, and making informative labels for foods. During the semester on interpersonal relationships students learn about accepting themselves, getting along with their families, and dating. In second year home ec, the traditional areas of foods and clothing are studied for a semester each. Students study how to cook the parts of a dinner: meats, vegetables, salads, breads, and desserts, and how to put these together into an appetizing and nutritious meal. In the clothing area students learn how to choose clothing which makes them look more attractive, and they construct (1) a lined wool skirt, and (2) a blouse, smock, shirt-dress, nightgown, or robe. Third year home ec consists of a semester of housing and home furnishings and a semester of marriage and family living, and child care and development. Students learn what to look for when renting, buying, or building a home. They also learn how to decorate a home, how to arrange furniture, and what to look for when buying furniture. They study about dating, engage- ment, weddings, the first years of marriage, and about children from prenatal development through five years of age. Students taking home ec for the fourth year study advanced foods and advanced clothing. One of the areas covered in ad- vanced foods is planning meals for two. In advanced clothing each student makes two projects, a plaid garment and a completely lined garment. _____ Right: Studying is also a part of gaining knowledge for becoming a good homemak- er.

A required year of physical education was di- vided into a semester during the freshman year and a semester dur- ing the sophomore year for most students. Health classes studied safety tips, the human body and other various topics in health care. Providing instructions for boys physical education and health class- es was Mr. Weber. Mr. Fishbaugh worked with Mr. Weber in both areas as a student teacher. Health class had its interesting moments with Ms. Marmon touch- ing on the finer points of the blood system and various diseases. Ms. Harmon also taught girls P.E. classes.

Bottom: Book knowledge as well as prac- tice help David Alderfer and Ken Stephens, develop their mechanical skills. 34 SKILLS FORMED BY ACTIVITY Washing cars, replacing spark plugs, filling radiators, and learning at the same time, the Auto Mechan- ics class did both major and minor repairs to their own cars; and, while helping out another guy with en- gine problems, Mr. Ralston was con- sulted many times for advice and approval during the year. Agriculture I class studied ani- mal production and feeding along with reproduction. Soils and crop production studies helped prepare Agriculture II students for farming. Mr. Fleck taught both Agriculture classes. Creating drawings of objects was the main activity of Mechanical Drawing. Blueprints were made of different objects, after being pic- tured first in the mind. Both Wood and Metal Shops used their blue- prints to make household and farm items. Farm mechanics put together and and repaired machinery. Tractors received overhauls and tune-ups. Mr. Fleck oversaw projects such as ladder and dairy scale hooks made by students. One semester of Electricity gave little time for an intense study, but Mr. Phillips managed to cover many areas in this field. Climbing poles and repairing house plugs were only a part of Electricity class. They did laboratory experiments with batter- ies. A basic study on crystal radios was done near the end of the year. Surveying, laying foundation and building framework for the house were all done by the Building Trades guys. The guys learned by experience and instructions from Mr. Fellers how to lay plumbing, install wiring, and put up siding. The house was to be sold after completion by both Mentone and Akron students.

Long hours were put in by editor Mark Brown. Mark had the responsibility of getting the BULLDOG together, supervising pictures, cropping, layouts, and or- ganization. Nancy Ettinger, assistant editor, worked with those on the copy staff. Sponsor Donna Hall attended evening work sessions, and helped a great deal in preparing and sending pages to the publisher. She also took care of finances. A majority of the pictures for the BULLDOG were snapped by Mark. Others helping to get action shots of MHS life were Candy Smythe, Randy Williams, and Jerry Hudson. Mark and Nancy attended the High School Journalism Institute at Indiana University for two weeks. The summer session prepared them for some of the difficulties in mak- ing the last BULLDOG. A small task force faithfully came each work night and devoted a great deal of time and effort to the annual. Everyone seemed to have the same idea in making this BULLDOG the best. INFORMING ENTERTAINING AND SERVING Striving to publish the Menton- ette, editor Lee Ann Jones encoun- tered difficulty in organizing a staff. The great deal of time and work involved created an obstacle in publishing the bi-weekly news- paper. With the help of Kris Bush and feature writers, Lee Ann was able to provide students and faculty with news about upcoming events, sports, and general information con- cerning MHS. Sponsor, Don Craw worked after school with Mentonette staff mem- bers. For only five cents the Men- tonette was sold during activity pe- riods and in study hall. The school paper encouraged students to be- come involved with the “Letters to the Editor” column. Spirit raising articles were written during the basketball season. Information on seniors and their “wildest ambi- tions” was printed. The Mentonette will give way to a new name but the school paper will still have the basic concepts of information, entertainment, and service to the student body.

SC WORKS FOR STUDENTS Giving more MHS students a chance to participate in student af- fairs, a new constitution was adopt- ed by the Council. Students who were not class representatives were allowed to become a part of Stu- dent Council. They had to attend six consecutive meetings and con- tribute two hours of work. Student Council met each Mon- day morning with sponsors Mr. Hinkle and Mr. Gamble. Plans for special events, such as dances, the all-school magazine drive, and Homecoming were passed through the Council. As a contribution to the new, consolidated Tippecanoe Valley High School, Student Council planned on buying trees for the landscaping.

MEMBERS BRING SUNSHINE TO MHS ‘Time In A Bottle” was chosen as the Sunshine dance theme. The semi-formal dance highlighted the year for the Society. Committees planned decorations and refreshments. The group Flight provided music to “boogie” and also slow dance during the evening of February 23 in the high school gym. Members attended two conventions. At district convention at Northfield, they were entertained by various skits and asso- ciated with area SSS girls at lunch. Late in the year several members attended the state convention in Indianapolis, where presi- dent Sue Ellen Mabie was awarded the state Sunshine nurses scholarship. Sunshine Society held a canned food drive in November for needy families in the community and surrounding area. Honoring Ideal Ladies, a banquet was held on April 23. Through the year girls secretly sent gifts and cards telling their Ideal Ladies how much they were appreciated and admired. The evening of the banquet the girls revealed themselves as they es- corted their ideals to the banquet. Mrs. Acker and Mrs. Hoyt contributed their time as Sunshine Society sponsors.

The formal cere- mony was attended by all members and their parents. A tapping ceremony was held during school hours to announce the new members on March 29. Two breakfasts, supported by the stu- dent body helped to raise money for the FTA-NHS Scholarship, which was award- ed to Dave Couture. The early morning donuts, milk, and juice appealed to both the junior and senior high school stu- dents—and faculty members. Senior NHS members received pins and charms as tokens of their member- ship in the Society. Mrs. Acker sponsored the group.

ELVES CONDUCT SCHOOL Many students of MHS participated in Future Teacher’s Association. Elf week was one of the big events for the students and faculty. All week long each teacher who had an elf tried to guess just who his elf was. On Friday the teachers learned the identify of their elves. The last half hour of the school day the teachers went to the cafeteria for a tea, while the elves substituted in the classroom and in the office. Cookies and punch were served by FT A members. There were plans for an elf week for elementary teachers, too, but it was cancelled due to the April 3 tornado. FTA also held two breakfasts with the National Honor Society, the proceeds of which went toward a scholarship to be awarded at the end of the year.

Hours of practice and preparation were put in by club members. Committees organized the make-up and publicity. Find- ing costumes for the early nineteen hundred period wasn’t easy; some cast members fashioned their own, while others dug into grandma’s things for the original styles. Flats built by Mr. Phillips and the wood shop class were painted by the speech class. Mr. Hoff and Ms. Harmon video-taped a rehearsal for the benefit of the cast in seeing themselves perform. A group effort made the play a hit with most of the audience. Left: For special effects Tod runs the spot- light.

Early in November the new members were initiated. They were sold as slaves to the old members and the money went toward the club fund. Those being initiated had to climb poles to touch bird houses, sweep the gym floor, and just about everything else imaginable. The initiation was topped off at the Pep Rally with a humorous skit which found Jim Webb sitting a little uneasy. His chair slowly collapsed on him during the skit.

They checked out books and found material for students doing research papers and writing essays. Running errands was the office receptionists most important job. They would type tests for teachers and learn- ed to use the office machines. Mrs. Romine and Mr. Hurst gave Christmas pins and corsages to each girl to show their appreciation.

Early November found spirited students yelling during the Pep Rally. With the season underway, pep club displayed their new green and white jerseys. Leading the spirit of MHS, the cheerleaders worked to form yells and skits. Pep sessions found cheerleaders riding stick horses or playing robot to demonstrate the change or changes to come in cheerleading techniques. i Varsity Cheerleaders-Kris Bush, Vicki Cris- singer, Lisa Boggs, Anje Anglin, Sandra Good, Amy Bowser.

Boys, from grades 0 to 12, were separated from the men in the following weeks-highlighted by the intersquad game and the Pep Rally, prior to the first game on November 16. A rough road lay ahead for the mighty Bulldogs, in which they were able to win just 3 of 21 games. Some games were so close but the ball just wouldn’t fall for the young Bulldogs; Right: Derek Anglin, 30, leaps to the re- bound while Jim Webb, 14, and Brett Boggs, 50, hold the Bulldog defense.

Senior Brett Boggs was voted the Most Valuable Player-and was also the team’s leading scorer with 305 points. Sophomore Ryan Williams grabbed the highest rebounding total with 236 rebounds, and was second leading scorer with 217 points. Junior Bill Boggs received the best free-throw percentage with 79% from the stripe, and was third highest scorer with 112 points. The sectional tourney rolled around on February 27 during which the Bull- dogs would battle with the Tigers from Warsaw. Lack of experience and lack of height were the Team’s biggest problems, but the Bulldogs hung in to the best of their ability. The returning Bulldogs are looking forward to the consolidation with Ak- ron to form the new Tippecanoe Valley Vikings basketball team and hope for a strong winning season.

Junior Varsity action brought excitement this year with a winning season. Teamwork was a key word for the B-team Bulldogs in action. Leading scorer, Jim Johnson, helped put the team ahead in several close games. Coach Roy encouraged a team effort by the guys. Practices almost every night gave them a chance to develop skills in passing, shooting and running. The Junior Varsity squad fought out a winning season of 13-7 to close MHS’s final basketball year. 52 FRESHMEN EXPERIENCE COMPETITION Left: Fast action takes place during an ex- citing freshmen game.

Row 2: Coach-Robert Igncy, Jay Wood- ruff, Jeff Crissinger, Jim Ellis, Francis Rick- el, Foy Banghart, Kevin Anderson, Bryan Sponseller, Brian Welch. Starting out with a loss to Man- chester the freshman basketball squad had a hard time trying to stay on top. The key man on the team was Terry Menzie. He put in 116 points, 47 field goals and 22 free throws. One man doesn’t make a team though; four others were pulling with him to form an effective squad. Early in the season, Mike Wood- ruff was injured but that didn’t get them down. Ending the season, the freshmen pups, coached by Robert Igney, chalked up five victories and six losses.

Each of the eight com- petitive teams battled for first place title during winter games. Weekly schedules were set up by sponsor, Mr. Gamble. He put in many hours planning and refereeing the rough ac- tion. The teams could be seen working out various plays dur- ing their lunch periods. Elbows swinging, the guys struggled for the ball and a chance to score. Each half had eighteen minutes of action. In mid-season some team changes took place. However, these changed didn’t affect team playing. Near the end of the season the teachers challenged each team. Karl Barker’s team topped the other “intramurder” squads with their accurate and quick shooting and claimed the championship. Above left: Intramural participants struggle for the ball.

The team was limited in the number of events each individual could enter. The Bulldogs managed to score high and break school records with the eight-man team. Don Hurd smashed Dale Bollinger’s 121 ft. and 7 in. rec- ord with a discus toss of 133 ft. and 9 in. Breaking a school record time of 4:36 set by Jeff Shoemaker, Max Meiser made the mile run in 4:35.9. Vaulting 11 It., Pat Stiffler conquered the old record at the Indoor Lake Cen- tral Relays. The Bulldogs faced indoor compe- tition at Lake Central, Indiana Univer- sity, and Purdue University. Individual times were improved during the season and blue ribbons collected. Mr. Weber coached and kept statistics for the track team. ffK- Ik r Lake Central Relays 4th of 5 Bethany Christian Lost Southwood- Northfield-Whites Lost Culver-Knox Lost Triton-Akron 2nd of 3 Southwood-S.

Only eight runners participated in cross country. They only won 4 out of 15 dual meets, but showed great progress as the season went on. Jerry Hudson and Jim Webb waged a competitive battle for the number-one-runner spot; in many of the meets you could see them running side by side. M � I Having many teams “out for ’em” from the slashing they took in previous year, put the team in some tight run- ning situations. Max Meiser injured his hip in prac- tice, but still ran in pain, because the Dogs wanted to stay on top, although he wasn’t running at his full capability. The Dogs worked hard to end their career on a victorious note but fell to a 4-11 record.

Conditions didn’t improve much for the regular season with the exception of a few sunny afternoons. Coach Ig- ney worked out a spring and summer schedule including a sectional tourney at Goshen. The Bulldogs drew a bye for the first game. They then faced Wawasee and were defeated 3-0 in a tough game. The season ended with a 7-8 record.

They spent time planning the curriculum for the com- ing year, setting up the sports sched- ule, and trying to hurry the builders. As superintendent of Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation, Mr. Rob- ert Forbes had the responsibility of planning and overseeing the building program. He invested a tremendous amount of time in conferences and meetings with building and equip- ment suppliers, in addition to super- vising the operation of the present facilities. After the tornado on April 3, 1974, there were 300 extra students from Talma to be moved into other facilities. The grade school students were moved from their rooms into various places throughout the Men- tone and Burket area. The Youth Pavilion, Town Hall, and the Metho- dist Church were used for the Men- tone third through sixth. Burket Methodist church was used for the kindergarten classes of Burket. Things were in a hassle the week of spring vacation, but Mr. Hurst and Mr. Welch had everything under con- trol by the time school reconvened. Mr. Hurst is the Mentone High School principal and school counsel- or. He helped students figure out their schedules for the next year, and he also helped them with their prob- lems, as well as handling his admin- istrative duties. Three important ladies in the corporation were Mrs. Mary Esther Romine, Mrs. Judy Hively, and Mrs. Eleanor Hoover. Mrs. Romine, secre- tary to Mr. Hurst, did nearly all the high school office work and book- keeping. Mrs. Hively, secretary to Mr. Forbes, greeted callers and handled all the corporation office work. Mrs. Hoover was the book- keeper for the corporation. Top: Superintendent Robert Forbes. Right: School Board: Standing: Mr. Philip Lash, Dr. Wymond Wilson, Mr. Richard Goshert.

Each teacher dedicated time in their own fields of teaching as well as doing other tasks. Most teachers had an assigned homeroom during activity period. Tickets at the bas- ketball games were taken by teachers. All school events including the prom, intramurals, and annual staff re- quired teachers as sponsors. Faculty members spent class time for learning and devoted hours in planning each period. They were also able, in some cases, to relate to stu- dents on a friendly basis, and to es- tablish the counseling many students needed during the year. “Coach” Fleck presents the Warsaw Team during the sectional pep session. 64 Jane Hall Elaine Hoyt Richard Ralston Joyce Harmon Robert Igney James Weber Robert Hinkle James Marsh Nancy Yeiter 65 PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE Daily school routine relies on the various functions of staff members. Keeping MHS in reasonable order gave way to slight confusion at times. Janitors handled emergency repairs as well as regular duties of sweeping and cleaning. A summer paint job gave MHS’s rooms and halls a splash of color. Meals were served by Emma Zol- man and the kitchen staff. Transportation for students was provided by the bus drivers. Drivers logged miles for fan and field trip buses. Pat Shoemaker kept the study hall reasonably quiet while doing other duties. Mr. Hoff, sorted out new books and films which arrived. Pam Walters han- dled the audio and visual needs for students. Right - Bus Drivers-Row 1: Don Poyscr,Jim MUler, Harriet Jamison, Irene Hoagland. Linda Martin.

Not only was it their last year, it was good ’ol MHS’s. For the first time in MHS’s history they would have their commencement on Sunday. Also for the first time it would be outdoors. The Senior class took their annual trip to Washington D. C. to tour the Nation’s Capital. For most of them it was their first trip in a jet. Mr. Igney’s psychology classes went to Fort Wayne and Logansport to see the mental institutions. After a short lecture about what mental ill- ness was, they toured the grounds and the hospitals in order to get a better ida of how the mentally retarded lived. It was quite an experience. Most of the seniors expected to see people in strait-jackets or in cells. Instead, many were free to do as they pleased. They were observed watching TV and playing pool. There were some “hu- man vegetables”. One girl made a life impression on them. She was 19 years old, but could not move a muscle. There was also a few able to go out and get jobs. On the whole they were much friendlier than expected and were sorry to see the Seniors leave. In the fall, the Seniors ordered their announcements, name cards, and se- nior keys from Wayne Atkinson with the help of senior sponsors Don Craw and Robert Hinkle. Wayne passed samples around and even got them back. On May 19,1974, MHS sent it’s last proteges into the world. Some to further their education, some to go directly to jobs waiting for them. Any way they go from here, GOOD LUCK SENIORS!

A paint- ing committee gave the concession stand a “Bulldog” look with green, white, and gold stripes. Juniors made the largest contri- bution in the school magazine drive. With November came Hoosier Hysteria and the junior class stocked the stand with pop and candy. With only six home games this year, they were hard- working people to make all the money they could at the varsity and freshman games as well as the intramural games. Money raised from the magazine sale and concession stand profits went toward the last junior, senior prom at MHS.

ENTHUSIASM FINDS MANY OUTLETS Sophomores returned for their second year of high school .at M.H.S. It was an exciting time when they heard that class rings had arrived. Most rings were ordered in the spring of their freshman year; the favorite set was blue. Sophomores were a very energetic group. Because of the scar- city of fund-raising activities, the sophomores directed their energy in other aresa. Winter snowball fights and lunch break basketball games occupi- ed many sophomores’ spare time. Some sophomores got involved in extra-curricular activities such as intramurals, and played in the ping-pong tournaments. Row 1: Ken Adams, Teri Alderfer, Deb Barker. Row 2: Alan Blue, Jo Ellen Boggs, Amy Bowser. Row 3: Fred Bowser, Barb Boyer, Margaret Brown. Row 4: Sharon Burkett, Teri Clampitt, Brenda Clingenpeel. Row 5: Linda Cochran, Bob Cooper, Dan Cooper.

Making up the largest portion of the student body, a majority joined MHS’s pep block, SSS, GAA, and par- ticipated in intramurals. Getting in- volved was one of their main objec- tives. Freshman Class Officers: Alicia Dickerhoff, Vice President; Tanya Jackson. Secretary; Diana Peters, President; Derek Anglin, Treasurer. They had an exclusive in football, defeating Akron twice in the first foot- ball season at Mentone High. Freshmen decided on courses need- ed to fill the year’s schedule. Semester exams were a first for most, but all survived and were able to finish their first and last year as freshmen at MHS.
