It is because of educational advancements through these changes that our world prepares itself and its civilization for the future. This fact holds true for all peoples. We might consider where the process of educa- I r - tional change begins. Immediately we can see that it begins in each community. Ultimately it begins in the minds of those who will not hesitate in the quest for knowledge. Educational change then becomes a vital link in their lives-the future leaders of our country. As the world around us has changed, Mitchell High School and its surrounding community have taken pride in their participation in this universal program. Not only have the faculty and adminis- trators improved the educational curriculum, but they have also provided a modern school building which permits nearly UNLIMITED boundaries. The youth of Mitchell hold the key to the 'Future in this institution of learning. It is because of these truths that the annual staff states, Education is the sign of our times. 3 an 1, ffl SCHOOL LIFE IS A SIGN CF CDUR TIMES Nancy Harrison ends her reign by crown- A i ing Becky Neal Homecoming Queen. MITCHELL HIGH SCHOOL BELLES COMPETE FOR THE Homecoming candidates wait anxiously to hear who is the 1967-68 Queen. . if wg 6 This year M.H.S. held its most elaborate Football Homecoming Ceremony. Candidates for Football Queen had been nominated by the members of the football team. Class members had then voted for the girl they wanted to represent their class. A float contest, sponsored by the Student Council, had been held along with the usual queen crowning ceremony. Band, Chorus, G.A.A., F.H.A., Tri-Hi-Y, and Hi-Y were the six organizations in the competition. Band and G.A.A. tied for first place in this contest. After the contestants had entered, the regal float made by the Student Council was driven onto the field. Queen candidates in shining convertibles fol- lowed. The girls were escorted to this float by their class officers to await the magic moment. That moment came as the announcer's voice blared, The 1967-68 Football Homecoming Queen is-Miss Becky Neal! Becky, the Junior candidate, was crowned by Miss Nancy Harrison, the T966-67 Football Queen. Miss Holly Hayes handed the queen a bouquet of beautiful red roses. Mr. Larry Bailey, Holly's escort, served as crown bearer. Making up Queen Becky's court were Miss Vicki Blackerby, Senior, Miss Letty Palladino, Sophomore, and Miss Pat Atkinson, Fresh- man. HONORED FOOTBALL OR BASKETBALL QUEEN TITLE Saturday, December 9, the Mitchell High School Blueiackets held their Basketball Homecoming cere- monies between the B-team and varsity games. The Little Jackets had defeated the visiting Shawswick Farmers setting the proper mood for the festivity. The M.H.S. twirlers appeared at the west end of the gymnasium to herald the beginning of the regal ceremony. A glittering arch of batons was formed for the lovely queen candidates to pass under. The announcer's voice filled the gymnasium to announce Miss Jan Worley's, Freshman candidate, appearance at the east end of the floor. Next to enter were Miss Brenda Reynolds, Sophomore, Miss Jo Ellen Ember- ton, Junior, and Miss Marty Gore, Senior. Following the candidates were Miss Becky Snow, flower girl, and Mr. Larry Bailey, crownbearer. Miss Vicki Blacker- by, the T966-67 Queen, graced the end of the pro- cession. The girls were all escorted by officers of their class. The girls awaited the climax of the event which came as the announcer proclaimd Miss Marty Gore the T967-68 Basketball Homecoming Queen. The T966-67 Queen, Vicki Blackerby, ended her reign as she placed a glittering crown upon Marty's head. Marty received a bouquet of scarlet roses and then retired to the west end of the floor where she reigned over the varsity game. Steve Emberton escorts the '67-68 Basketball Queen to her throne. HARDWORKING JUNICRS SELL BALLGAME COKES TO The '67 prom was the main concern of the year for M.H.S. juniors. The theme was Arabian Nights and the date, April 28. Preparation for the big night began many months in advance with various money-making proi- ects. During the football season, iuniors worked tediously selling hot chocolate and coffee to frozen fans. Hungry appetites were soon satisfied with hot dogs or candy from the concession stand, which was also operated by the junior class. At the close of the football season, they turned their attention to basket- ball games. The yell of ice cream soon became a familiar phrase of the iuniors. While part of them sold ice cream, others were busy selling candy and cokes as they worked energetically to raise money for the upcoming prom. The iuniors also sponsored the Basketball Homecoming Dance and the Thanksgiving Dance. Each was successful in aiding the prom fund. All iuniors agreed, when they saw the elegance of Prom Night, that their work was more than worth the effort put forth during the school year. Industrious iuniors hurry to complete prom decorations before prom night. EARN MONEY FOR PROM FOOD AND DECORATIONS During a meeting in March, the theme committee selected Arabian Nights as the theme for the 'I967 prom. They then challenged the decoration committee to match their excellent theme idea with an equally excellent prom. The junior class tackled this seem- ingly impossible task under the able direction of Joe Rightley, prom chairman. While some of the iuniors painted murals of mysterious Arabian towns, others hung a ceiling of deep blue crepe paper lit by silver stars. lndustrious iunior boys and girls built striped Arabian tents, one of which was to canopy the king and queen's throne. With the addition of two authentic-looking camels, which dominated one wall, and two huge magic carpets flying overhead, Arabia became real before the eyes of the workers. To add the finishing touches to their Arabian Night , the juniors constructed an oasis complete with palm trees, sand, a small pool, and exotic blossoms. After many months of careful planning, M.H.S. iuniors were prepared to spend a delightful evening in Arabia. Juniors take pride in adding their camels to the prom background.

Mrs. Sherfick and Mr. Wright capture the spotlight. I0 By the time April 28 arrived, everyone was at the peak of excitement. Before entering the ballroom, guests were received by the Prom chairman and his date as well as by the presidents of the junior and senior classes and their dates. Each guest was greeted with a welcome and a warm wish for an enjoyable evening. Upon entering the ballroom, the guests were im- mediately surrounded by a most enchanting atmos- phere. Music by the Steve Belmer Orchestra drifted among the swaying couples on the dance floor while serving girls, attired in haram costumes complete with red tops and striped bloomers, passed among them catering to their every wish. The girls comforted the guests as they moved around the dance floor by fanning them with huge palm leaves and offering them trays heaped with delicacies. 67 SENIORS WITH AN EVENING GF ENCHANTMENT After dancing, the guests were invited to enioy a meal of delicate finger foods prepared by the Tri Kappa Sorority and elegantly displayed on a huge, white clothed table. Towering over the food was a replica of the Taj Mahal surrounded by garlands of flowers. After filling their plates, guests moved to tables in the hall and the library. Replicas of dancing girls lined the bulletin boards, while flying carpets rested on the tables. Servants passed among the tables with trays of food and drinks, making sure that each guest would have all that he desired. After the meal, guests returned to the ballroom to dance and talk. Everyone anxiously awaited the magical hour when the king and queen would be crowned. At eleven o'clock, Neva Tolloert and Jon Allen were crowned to reign over the festive occasion. A .

Six seniors returned to Mitchell High School this fall with a deeper knowledge of Indiana government. These students were the Mitchell delegates to the T967 Hoosier Boys' and Hoosier Girls' State, sponsored by the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary. The delegates are chosen by the American Legion for their academic ability, leadership in school activi- ties, and interest in government. The boys must meet the additional qualification of their fathers being war veterans.

Their alternates were Don Caraway and Bill Duncan. The girls selected to be delegates to Girls' State were Liz Weir and Anita Mundy. Their alternates were Evelyn Richman and Judy Bailey. The purpose of Hoosier Boys' and Girls' State is to give young people the practical experience of setting up a mock Indiana government. The delegates gain a deeper appreciation for their state government and a deeper reverence for the American way by residing in mythical cities as well as nominating and electing city, county, and state officers. JACKET FANS RAISE A MIGHTY CHEER ON HIGH Coach Cheesman urges students to back their team The pep sessions at Mitchell High School have greatly improved over the past years. With Mr. Phipps' tremendous encouragement, Mitchell High School fans have boosted the spirit and enthusiasm within the school. The latest addition to Jacket pep sessions is the newly formed pep band under the direction of Mr. Robert Arthur, the M.H.S. band director. The pep band played everything 'From the Saints Go March- ing In to the new Jacket fight song. Leading the enthusiastic Jackets during these pep sessions were the varsity cheerleaders Nanina Wil- liams and Nancy Harrison, assisted by the junior varsity cheerleaders Jan Worley, Patty Atkinson, and Becky Henderson.

STAR or What makes a senior at M.H.S. so different 'From his underclassmen? Why is it so easy to pick a senior out of any group of people walking down one of the halls? A senior is different in many ways from the other students of Mitchell High School. He is more mature and cares more about the people around him and what they think. A senior looks different because he cares more about his appearance. He feels more settled and doesn't care so much about impressing people with some way-out appearance. He is usually more neatly dressed than the underclassmen. A senior usually turns to a more conservative hair style. A senior is a very busy person. Along with all of his studies, he is involved in one or two clubs. Tri- Hi-Y, FHA, GAA, Asif Club, and Hi-Y are the clubs he most frequently favors at Mitchell. Seniors usually become the officers and leaders of these clubs because the other students feel the seniors are better quali- fied to handle these positions since they have had the experience of watching others carry out each officer's demanding responsibilities. A senior is more considerate of others. He helps the freshmen find their way around school at the beginning of the year. He helps the needy by donating food and toys. The 1968 seniors are a group of clean-cut and well- mannered people. They are an asset of which Mitchell High is very proud. 'I6 Art students' displays bring the Christmas spirit into M.H.S.

It is the responsibility of the M.H.S. English Department to teach these basic skills to all students and thereby help them acquire the confidence in self expression which is so necessary today. As a result, the students at M.H.S. are finding an increased emphasis on academic writing. The freshmen at M.H.S. began this process by learning the proper way to handle the ever-growing facilities of the new library along with studying participles, modifiers, and sentence structure. In the sophomore year, students continued the study of grammar and began writing short themes. All iunior classes studied novels and short stories from BILLY BUDD to A Municipal Report. Four English courses were available to M.H.S. seniors this year. In academic English, seniors de- veloped advanced term papers and learned the techniques of writing process and descriptive essays which would prepare them for their coming years in college. Business English considered punc- tuation, spelling, and writing proper business letters. Seniors in standard English studied book reports, poetry, and grammar rules. Great books required that each student read at least four books by famous authors each six weeks. Frank Silvers reviews a book during Academic English.

The basic philosophy of the M.H.S. math depart- ment is to assist the pupil in an appreciation of the importance of mathematics in our technological society. Mitchell High School offers five courses which help the pupil increase his computational skills. Freshmen are required to take either General Math, taught by Mrs. Knight and Mr. Grover Garrett, or Algebra I, taught by Mrs. Doris Gardin. Algebra Il, taught by Mr. William Huffman, is a study of advanced factoring methods, the Pythagor- ean theorem, and quadratic formulas. A one year course in Plane Geometry is also offered under Mr. Huffman. Here the students explore the many ways to construct triangles, parallelograms rectangles, and squares. Senior Math, also taught by Mr. Huffman, deals with trigonometry, a study of six ratios that are determined by angles and directed line segments, and calculus, which emphasizes problems in irregularly shaped obiects. The five math courses of M.H.S. help develop an appreciation of the nature of mathematics in ever- day life. larry Robertson and Jackie Gilbert complete Trigonometric functions. 24 AND EXAMINE THE INTRIGUING LAWS OF SCIENCE With the launching of Sputnik I the need for young men and women in the field of science has been growing. In order to meet the demand of today's scientific society, M.H.S. offers five courses in this field. The beginning science courses are offered in the freshman and sophomore years. Science 100 and 200, taught by Miss Elizabeth Osborne and Mr. Hollace Sherwood, were freshman courses dealing with elementary science. Biology 100 and Biology 200 are courses which deal with living things and their en- vironment. Miss Elizabeth Osborne, Mr. Roger Snow, and Mr. Larry Barnes shared the teaching duties of the Biology department this year. During the iunior and senior years, students could choose to study either chemistry or physics. Students in Chemistry studied the make-up of substances and the changes that take place in them, while Physics dealt with the forces around us. Senior Science, a course in which the students plan their projects them- selves, was also offered to seniors. Physics student's study acceleration through experimentation. 4?'

A noticeable desire of every American is the de- velopment of a healthy body as well as a healthy mind. ln addition all Americans realize the need to learn to cooperate with one another. ln order to help her students reach these goals, M.H.S. required each freshman to enroll in physical education. Physical Education was taught by Mr. Will Chees- man. Mr. Cheesman's physical fitness program was designed to build up the mind and body of each stu- dent who was willing to fulfill the requirements of his class, The first six weeks emphasized football, baseball, and running. With the coming of cold weather, the boys moved to the warmth of the gym to play dodgeball, volleyball, and basketball. In addition they performed all kinds of exercises. Assisting Mr. Cheesman were seniors Bob Eversole, Mike Stickney, Dan Moore, Charles Cooper, Mike Mayden, and Paul Stroud. These boys helped Mr. Cheesman lead exercises, organize games, and per- form routine tasks. Physical Education proved to be a valuable ex- perience for the M.H.S. freshmen this year because not only did the boys participate in sports and exercises, but they also made new friends and strengthened themselves at the same time. M.H.S. OFFERS PHYS. ED. T0 GIRLS AND BOYS Miss Chastain and assistant Joyce Slaughter demonstrate a new exercise. Hoosier Hysteria is a maior part of girls P.E. classes. Freshman girls begin each session with a series of exercises. Knowing that the program of Physical Fitness is stressed throughout the United States, Mitchell High School provides the freshman girls with a variety of sports and exercises. Under the supervision of Miss Karon Chastain, the girls participate in such activities as volleyball, basketball, softball, tumbling, soccer, ping-pong, badminton, and track. Miss Chastain is assisted by four senior girls: Joyce Murphy, Joyce Slaughter, Carolyn Gresham, and Kathy Hawkins. These girls help Miss Chastain lead exercises and referee games. The physical fitness program plays an important part in the physical and mental development of girls. It helps girls to obtain ci better understanding of sportsmanship by participating in group activities. Through group activities, the girls learned to work together, thus creating a greater sense of unity among themselves. Physical education provides an excellent time for freshman girls who are entering their first year in high school to meet and make new friends. 27 Students ponder over a test in Mr. Polson's World History class. HISTORY PUPILS PRGBE MAN'S PAST EXPERIENCES Kathy Matthew and Randy Cox examine the stock exchange report in Economics. 28 Today's fast-moving world often causes students to wonder what lies in the future. To better under- stand our present world situation and to better un- derstand what may be coming, the students at M.H.S. are provided with a sturdy foundation of our past and some possible answers to where we are going. In a survey ranging from the time of pre- historic man to today's Viet Nam War, each student received an interesting and detailed look at our world in his three years of required social study courses. The first of these was World History, usually taken in the sophomore year. Looking back to the first records of man, students explored the past up to the present. In his iunior year the student was presented with U.S. History. The senior year involved a study of one semester of economics and one semester of government. This enabled the students to get a better view of our world's trade and business systems and to understand our laws and democratic system of governing. To enrich the M.H.S. curriculum, World Geography and Latin American History were offered as electives to those who wished to go deeper into social studies. As the students of Mitchell High School make their way into the world, they will be aware of the world's past, of its present condition, and of some of the problems they must face in the future. AS SPEECH STUDENTS IMPROVE CJRATGRY SKILLS ,,.t-I 1. Mrs. Parker's speech class listens attentively to a student speaker. lt is important that every student be able to ex- press himself with confidence, and this confidence is best created by speaking correctly and having experiences in oral communication. The Mitchell High School Speech Department provides these experi- ences while stressing the importance of conveying a message effectively while using correct gestures and good diction. Under the instruction of Mrs. Treva Parker, the students prepared and gave various types of speeches like the informative, the introduction, the farewell, and the all-important persuasive speech. Other speeches rehearsed by the students were the impromtu and disputable nature speeches. These speeches dealt with subjects ranging from the manu- facturing of toothpicks to the problems of future generations. The speech class also participated on debating teams. These teams, trying to convince an audience that each was right, took a controversial topic and argued their point of view. Many hours of research and work were put into these debates making them not only interesting but very informative. After successfully completing this course, students felt they would leave Mitchell High School better qualified to express themselves in an effective, ac- ceptable manner.

I Latin II students translate a difficult story into English under the direction of Mrs. Golda Knight. As all Gaul was divided into three parts so was the study of Latin at Mitchell High School. Each part was carefully structured by Latin instructor Mrs. Golda Knight to lead students who studied the tongue of the Romans through a progressively more difficult, but more interesting, look at the language. In Latin I students were taught the basic funda- mentals of the language such as how to coniugate verbs and how to decline nouns. Students read about Roman culture in Latin II. Roman wars and Caesar's conquests were relived by the students through translating Caesar's Commentaries. Latin III students translated the many letters of the Roman naturalist, Pliny. They also sharpened and practiced their knowl- edge of Latin by translating many more Latin works. By translating Latin, students gained a new respect for the intellectual abilities of the Imperial Romans. All Latin students realized how deeply Roman culture, customs, language, and government are imbedded in the American way of living. 30 .. f' W f Latin Ill students Susan Anderson, Barbara Holt, and Margie Stank- ovich work together to finish their lesson for the next day.

Mitchell High School offered three years of Spanish to its students this year. Under the supervision of Mrs. Cox, Spanish classes were taught with the help of Encyclopedia Britannica visual audio-lingual mater- ials. These materials include tape recordings, text- books, films, and filmstrips. During the first year of Spanish, the students learned the basic fundamentals, grammar, and the customs of the people of Spanish-speaking nations. The second year concentrated on the intensive study of conversation. A new system for teaching the Spanish Il class added to the interest in the class this year. Mrs. Cox divided the class into four groups so they could study the language from four different aspects. These were verb conjugation, vocabulary, writing, and story translation. The study of art, music, history, and the culture of Spanish-speaking countries was introduced to the Spanish III students. During the Christmas season, the Spanish classes enioyed one of the old Spanish customs. Each class constructed a pinata, and, on the day before school dismissed for Christmas vacation, the classes broke open their pinata and enjoyed the candy that was inside. The students who studied Spanish will benefit by being able to use the knowledge gained in future language study. Students in Spanish III listen attentively to a Spanish story. Margie Stroud, Sharon Hawkins, and Sofia Ducker translate a story to Mrs. Billie, Cox. . ltr ll' 31 STUDENTS EXPRESS THEIR THCUGHTS THROUGH ART sr hu' 4 Art student, Dickie Allen, completes an oil farm scene The Art Department of Mitchell High School en- deavors to teach the history, the basic fundamentals, and the techniques of art. This is carried out on three different levels: Art I, Art II, and Advanced Art. The emphasis in Art I was upon the fundamentals of art. Here the students studied the constructing and shading of basic shapes and the using of these basic shapes in drawing people, animals, and inanimate obiects. They also studied the use of chalk, tempera paint, and other color mediums. In Art, II, students learned several techniques, styles, and methods by drawing from setups arranged by Mrs. Mable Davis, their art instructor. These setups included common place obiects brought in by Mrs. Davis and members of the class. Mrs. Mable Davis' Art II students offer each other constructive criticism. Art students Brenda Williams, Patty Rasnic, and Steve Pless prepare a Christmas disolay in the hall showcase. Unlike Art I and Art II, the instructor's permission was required to take Advanced Art. Here the em- phasis was on originality. The students selected most of their own projects and completed them with little advice from Mrs. Davis. The class also made posters and signs for the various departments of M.H.S. It was through special efforts of the Art Department that the school was decorated for special holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving. The class, being smaller than Art I and Art II, allowed for more individual instruction. One facet of Advanced Art was the entering of contests. This activity allowed the student to match his products against those of artists from oher schools and thereby, through comparison, gave him a measure of his talent.

Exploratory Teaching is offered to the many M.H.S. seniors considering a career in teaching. Sixteen seniors signed up for Exploratory Teaching and were placed in elementary classes or secondary physical education classes. For the first few weeks, the students observed the pupils and the teachers' procedures in the typical class. Later, they assumed various tasks for the teachers. At the end of each six-week period, the Exploratory Teachers were evaluated by their critic teachers. The experience of each Exploratory Teacher dif- fered, but they all received a clearer view of the field of teaching. 33 INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLASSES PROVIDE SKILLS IN Eager students overhaul the M.H.S. truck under Mr. Crim's supervision. Drawing I students slave over a complicated tool diagram. ww -.NN I Tracy Spires works vigorously to finish one of his wood shop proiects. Some of the first tools used by prehistoric man like the hammer and the lever have been per- fected through the ages and are still used in modern- day shops. Students in the M.H.S. Industrial Arts Department are taught the design, production, cmd application of these tools. Today's craftsmen are offered eight courses under the direction of Mr. Woodrow Wagoner and Mr. Duane Crim. Beginning Drawing is the basic course which all students interested in this evergrowing field must complete before they can go on to the more complicated courses. During their second year of Mechanical Drawing, M.H.S. students apply their skills by drawing blueprints for their dreamhouse. In these they include the floor plan, the interior and exterior design, the plumbing, and the location of the lights and electrical outlets. After completing their first year of Wood I-in which they built such things as night stands, desks, chests, and bed stands-they go on to Wood II and complete such proiects as hutches and tables. Metal I and Metal II students learn the operation and uses of the many complicated lathes and shapers by forming pieces of metal into tools. They begin by filing a piece of metal into a square block and then proceed to transform it into a C clamp.

The course most recently added to the Industrial Arts Department is auto mechanics. Students begin by studying the basic principles of small engines and work their way up to overhauling an automobile. The M.H.S.

The first year Home Economics students learned to cook complete meals. They also tested their skills in constructing skirts, blouses, or dresses. Home nursing, family health, and nutrition were studied by the second year students. These girls also placed emphasis on clothing and its construction. The students in Home Economics Ill studied the management of the home and its furnishings. These girls also learned child care and child development as well os how to understand children. During the fourth year of Home Economics, senior girls stressed textiles, clothing, and nutrition. ! mms, , W gg .'., Ay QM? K - - Bobby Henderson proudly takes his cookies from the oven in Boys' Home Ec. Home Economics IV, for majors, was composed of senior girls completing their fourth year of Home Economics. These girls concentrated on a variety of experiences in as many aspects of the subiect as possible. In May, all of the clothing students displayed their achievements and creations in a style show held in the M.H.S. Auditorium. A new course was added to the Home Ec. Depart- ment this year. This course was for boys. These seven students studied cooking fundamentals and table etiquette the first semester. During the second se- mester, they studied the basic rules of clothing and learned to spend money wisely. Home Economics for boys demonstrates the growing importance of men in the home.

Office Practice students listen to Mr. Terry explain a difficult lesson. The business curriculum at M.H.S. this year pro- vided a wider than ever variety of business courses. The six courses offered this year were: Basic Busi- ness, Bookkeeping, Typing, Secretarial Practice, ancl Business Machines. All freshman students learned the fundamentals of business procedures by taking Basic Business. This provided the foundation for later business courses such as Bookkeeping in which students applied their business skills to the art of keeping a ledger and a iournal. During the iunior or senior year, students sharpened their business skills by taking typing. In typing class ch A Barbara Sloan and Judy Pace work at their typewriters to complete a Business Machines assignment. students learned to operate the typewriter with speed and accuracy. After learning the keyboard, the students put their skill to work by typing manu- scripts, business letters, and tabulation problems. Once they had mastered the invaluable typing skills, seniors could elect courses in Secretarial Prac- tice and Business Machines. Secretarial Practice stressed the use of shorthand and provided students with the wide knowledge in office procedures. Simi- larly, Business Machines was designed to give the student a better grasp of office life but placed more stress on the use of the typewriter and office machines. 37 MHS STUDENTS INCREASE THEIR DRIVING SKILLS Kim Knowles and Mr. Barnes examine the engine of the new Drivers' Ed. Car. Mr. Larry Barnes watches the reactions of his Drivers' Ed. student. 38 Drivers' Education is exactly what its name implies. It teaches a novice driver how to handle an auto- mobile on the road. It also acquaints the student with the general mechanical functions of the car. The students do not begin to drive immediately. They study their textbooks in class for about two weeks before they are actually placed behind the wheel of a car. In this two week period Mr. Roger Snow and Mr. Larry Barnes teach their students the different aspects of driving a car. Their instruction covers everything from the basic safety rules of the road to the correct way to change a flat tire. After this two weeks study of the basics, the students are ready to drive, At first they begin with a few simple maneuvers. As the students gain more con- fidence in their driving abilities, they undertake the more difficult tasks of parallel and angle parking. During each semester, the novice drivers receive thirty hours of classroom study and six hours of actual driving. As a result of these thirty-six hours, M.H.5. students are ready to assume the responsibilities of licensed drivers. GUIDANCE CLASSES STRESS PERSONIAL ADJUSTMENT A guidance class of M.H.S. study diligently to complete their term papers. Mr. Stone outlines to his students their goals for the year. ' Q The Guidance Department at Mitchell High School served a vital function for the school and student body. It was responsible for the class scheduling at M.H.S. and for administering all achievement, apti- tude, scholastic, and intelligence tests given to Mitchell High School students. The guidance staff devoted most of its time, however, to the task of guiding M.H.S. students through their classroom and personal problems which occurred throughout their high school years. Heading the Guidance Department was Mr. Lewis Stone who was always ready to lend an ear to a troubled student. Mr. Stone offered students assistance in planning their future vocation. In addition, he advised college-bound seniors in applying for their college entrances and suggested possible scholarships to qualified students. Throughout the school year, he was always busy answering students' questions and teaching his guidance classes. Assisting Mr. Stone in the Guidance Department were Miss Karon Chastain and Mr. Grover Garrett. Miss Chastain assisted in girls' counseling and stu- dent scheduling in addition to her teaching responsi- bilities. Likewise, Mr. Garrett assisted in boys' counsel- ing, directed testing, and taught classes in math and guidance. 39 f , fr T' J ,1 W, iw I P Z, '-,'2jf.::,L4Gaf , , - wifi' -.gaf .

Bough, T. Row. As Mitchell High School has grown and developed over the years, it has fostered many student or- ganizations. The Student Council, whose main pur- pose is to act as a link between the 'Faculty and the student body, has grown to be the most important and prestigious of the group. During the course of the year, the Student Council completes many time consuming and energy ab- sorbing proiects. Annually, the council sponsors a football and basketball homecoming. During the T967-68 school year, it promoted a float contest among the school organizations. In order to insure a 'Fair contest, each club had a limit of ten dollars on their expenditures. Their floats were iudged by faculty members from Burris on such points as origi- nality, theme, and workmanship. The band and Girls' Athletic Association tied for first place honors. Under the title of Blow 'em Off the Field, a suza- phone, which contained a fan with a dummy sus- pended in front of it, was the center of attraction. Following each homecoming game was a home- coming dance. These dances were supervised by the Student Council and the proceeds were used to pre- sent convocations to the student body? Such programs as the films shown of the basketball tour in the Orient were not only enioyable, but enlightening as well. Throughout the year, the Student Council proved itself to be a most effective, influential, and necessary part of the school system.

Wil- To create, maintain, and extend, throughout the home, school, and community, high standards of Christian character is the stated purpose of the Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y Clubs, and they strive to fulfill this purpose. The large memberships in each club are proof of a common desire to obtain these ideals. Sixty new members were inducted into Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y at the beginning of the school year. The formal induc- tion ceremony was held December I4 with Reverend Arthur Daniels delivering the message. Major activities conducted to help worthy national organizations and needy individuals in the surround- ing community are proiects of greatest importance. Each year Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y are asked by the churches of Mitchell to help Trick or Treat for UNICEF. The 46 Iiams. Row 3: L. Ball, B. Freeman, T. Beavers, M. Brown, R.

Another activity under- taken by the clubs is taking food baskets to needy people around the city. Homerooms compete to see which one can bring the most canned goods. This year, Mrs. McKinney's roam won first prize. One very important annual event is the Heart Fund Dance. Money is raised for the Heart Fund by nominating King and Queen candidates and Prince and Princess for a penny a vote to see who will reign over the 'Festive occasion. Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y members are important members of the school and play a vital part in school functions. They are offered the opportunity to extend worthy services throughout the school and community. WHILE CREATING, MAINTAINING HIGH STANDARDS .

The band practiced every Tuesday and Thurs- day night, with each practice session being devoted either to playing or to drilling. During the school year, the band participated in many activities. Besides providing the music for all football and basketball games, the Marching Blue- jackets presented many half-time performances.

Tanks- The school year of T967-68 was a year of experi- mentation for several of the choruses under the direction of Mr. Dennis Phipps. It began when the Christmas record, called the Sounds of Christmas, was recorded by the Varsity Chorus, Vocallettes, Band, and Junior High Band. There had been other attempts in previous years, but with little success. In addition two types of Christmas programs were presented: a serious one sponsored by the Ministerial Association, and a lighter one. Both of these programs proved to be a huge success. In the spring, Bye, Bye Birdie, a musical satire on the early Rock and Roll singers like Elvis Presley and Conway Twitty, was presented. The chorus had presented Operettas before but had never attempted a Broadway musical. The chorus members also sang in a Spring Festival on March 30 at Bloomington High School. Several schools besides Mitchell took part in this Festival in which music selected from a state list was sung. Several conventional programs were also pre- sented. Some of these were for the Tri-Kappa, Public Service, church congregations, and the student body. ln addition to the Varsity and Girls' Chorus, the Vocallettes, a contest group, was assembled. The group gave selected girls the opportunity to sing who could not fit chorus into their daily schedules. it ley, D. Fish, Row 3: C. Jones, J. Poole, K. Bennett, B. Hunt, C. Norrington, C.

Christmas program. 51 DRAMA CLUB PRESENTS MOTHER IS A FRESHMAN Pam Leonard, Carrie, looks on as Susan Abbott gives Professor Michaels, Danny McCart, the cold shoulder. A challenging pleasure for the M.H.S. Drama Club this year was the presentation of Mother is a Fresh- man . This three-act comedy, which was under the direction of Mrs. Parker, involved many long hours of practice. Mrs. Abigail Abbott, a widow of 35, who was portrayed by Nanina Williams, attended Pointer Col- lege on a memorial Scholarship. Mrs. Abbott had no desire to attend college, but she could not send her daughter, who was a sophomore at Pointer, unless she received the funds from the scholarship. Confusion and chaos resulted when Mrs. Abbott arrived at Pointer College as a freshman. All the faculty members-except a good-looking zoology teacher, Professor Michaels who was characterized by Dan McCart-were against Mrs. Abbott's attending college. Unaware that her daughter, Susan Abbott, was deeply in love with Professor Michaels, Mrs. Abbott became very fond of the professor, and they fell in love. Quite an uproar resulted when Susan discovered that her mother had taken away the only man she could ever love. The many devoted hours put in by the cast brought to play goers one of the most enjoyable plays ever presented. 52 5 5 - ww- 'j A 'i' T li r x ' nxvzizj- .,g,f R .i'.

The one of these that appears most frequently is the school news which is printed weekly in the Mitchell Tribune and the Bedford Daily Times Mail. Every Tuesday Julie made her rounds gathering interesting news from various students and teachers. She also found out the current activities of each school organization. On Wednesday Julie would submit her news to Mr. Oswalt for corrections and the final okay, after which she faithfully met her 5:00 P.M. deadline. Another voice of Mitchell High School, the Orbit, is published tri-weekly under the supervision of Mrs. Joyce McKinney. Before the journalism students could print the first issue of the Orbit, however, they had to learn the basic points of newspaper composition. After this had been achieved, the students were given individual writing assignments for each regular edition of the newspaper. The staff gained experience in reporting by interviewing teachers and classmates. For the first time this year iuniors were admitted to the Orbit staff. This was done in order to give them experience in publishing a newspaper so that they would be better equipped to edit next year's Orbit. 54 , . , The Orbit staff--Rick Marshall, Rita Mattix, Jackie Reynolds, Susan Anderson, Terry Smith, Lisa Buck, Judy Bailey, Becky Briscoe, Leslie Leonard, Sue Baker, Delores Stearns, and Margie Stankovich-examines one of their latest issues. Susan Anderson, Jackie Reynolds, Lisa Buck, and Rita Mattix work vigorously to meet another Orbit deadline. HOURS OF WORK GO INTO '67-'68 BLUE AND GOLD i X, .Z h5.w8,,m . -1 Mr. Cranny confers with the annual staff on cover selection. The work on the Gold 81 Blue began early last May when the T968 annual staff was chosen by the co- editors, Evelyn Richman and Bill Baugh. For the first time, six iuniors were selected to assist the sixteen seniors on the staff in producing the 5lst edition. This was done to give the juniors experience for next year's annual. Another thing introduced to the staff this year was the addition of a class period in which staff members could meet to work on the yearbook. The staff's duties began with the kickoff of the sales campaign. With the idea of competition between teams in mind, Steve Emberton, senior president, gave the class several pep talks paid off well, for the seniors sold 800 annuals at the end of the sales campaign. Under the supervision of Mr. James Oswalt and Mrs. Marian Caudell, the annual staff worked after school and during vacations to meet their deadlines. During one of these meetings the staff selected the cover design for the annual which remained a secret. Photographers, copy writers, and layout workers labored diligently to make their annual the best ever. Photographers took many pictures, layout workers drew up pages, and copy writers composed interest- ing copy. After the many deadlines had been met, the T968 yearbook staff took a breath and anxiously awaited the arrival of their completed Gold 81 Blue. The annual staff works hard sixth period to meet their deadlines 55 FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA HELP TO BUILD F . ' ,' , :Li W.. ,f lm .. K . . , Y In , . .W ,J ,. YB Q I Front Row: B. Henderson, J.

Pless, D. Atchison, J. Zeeks, J. Sproles, F. Scherschel, Two of the busiest areas at the high school are the library and the film department. Both service a large volume of students and help them with their numer- ous problems. If just twenty students visited the library every hour of every day, this would mean that twenty thousand four hundred students would visit the library during the course of the school year. Miss Blanche Boyd, M.H.S. librarian, cannot possibly give each student the personal help he needs. Thus, to help her with this mammoth task, Miss Boyd has trained a group of student helpers. These student librarians show other students how to use the card catalogue, how to charge out books, collect fines on overdue books, reshelve returned books, and keep papers and maga- zines up to date. Another group of invaluable assistants at M.H.S. was the student proiectionists. These boys gave up their study halls to show films for various classes in the school. Their duties included not only setting up and presenting the films, but also filing the films properly. Throughout the year these students were an in- dispensable aid to Mitchell High School.

The Blueiacket cheerleaders await the right moment to lead the students in rousing cheers. I Fight, fight for old Mitchell High. Blueiacket spirit will never die. This was one of the newest songs used to perk up the cheering section by the M.H.S. cheerleaders-Nancy Harrison, iunior, and captain Nanina Williams, senior- this year. Junior Varsity cheerleaders-Jan Worley, Becky Henderson, and Pat Atkinson-were alternated throughout the year to as- sist the varsity cheerleaders at the T967-68 Athletic Contests. The cheerleaders backed the Mitchell Blueiackets all the way as they enthusiastically led cheers and chants throughout the year. When the team was behind, spirit was aroused by the vim, vigor, and vitality of the cheerleaders. When the team was ahead, the cheerleaders organized an effective yell to cheer the team on to victory. The cheerleaders attended Cheerleading Camp at Vincennes University in July and the Annual Cheer- leading Convention held at Indiana University in October. There, they learned new yells, movements, pom pom routines, and general psychology of the crowd. Other tasks performed by the cheerleading team, besides assisting the team to victory, were greeting , the visiting cheerleaders at home ballgames, making signs and posters to boost the team and school to the learning of new yells. 60 GAA AND INTRAMURALS STRESS PHYSICAL FITNESS G.A.A. girls form a human pyramid as a part of their regular routine. The girls in Mitchell who enjoy participating in sports ioin the Girls' Athletic Association and the boys who enioy sports but are not in the athletic program ioin Intramurals. These girls and boys may acquire a few cuts and bruises, but they improve their skills and co-ordination while enjoying the 'fel- lowship of play. G.A.A., under the direction of Miss Karon Chastain, met twice a week on Monday and Thursday after school from 3:30 until 4:30. The sports they played were soccer, basketball, dodgeball, volleyball, soft- ball, track, pingpong, badminton, and kickball. Tournaments were played in some of these sports and trophies were given to the winners. Intramurals met once a week on Thursday night from 7:00 until 9:00 and was supervised by Mr. Grover Garrett. On various nights, the boys played volleyball and basketball. Tournaments were held in these two sports, and medals were awarded to the winners. Through participating in these two activities, several M.H.S. students have learned that teamwork counts a lot in winning and helps all become more amiable individuals. -1 Joyce Slaughter and Carolyn Gresham execute a tumbling stunt.

Sharp- shooter Paul Stroud was the only senior in the starting line-up. He was supported by four sophomores, who developed their skills by playing heads-up ball, but the Jacket's inability to put two good halves to- gether resulted in a mediocre record of 9 wins and li losses. The Jackets started the season slowly by losing their first two games, but then bounced back by posting two victories before a big test in the Holiday Tourney at Honey Creek. The Blueiackets surprised everyone by over-powering a strong Terre Haute Wiley team in the first game and in the second game trounced Honey Creek, as fabulous Paul Stroud daz- zled spectators and showed why he was all-state candidate by scoring a record 53 points in the Championship game. During this winning streak, the Jackets played good team ball with excellent shooting and rebounding. They displayed all the characteristics of a well balanced team. However, the Jackets faltered the last part of the season. Their dominance of the boards and their sharp shooting declined as the season progressed. But, after a losing streak of four games, one of which was rivaling Bedford, the Jackets came back to win over Austin by one point and over West Washington by three points. Mitchell's season closed with a hard-fought bout against distant Corydon. With iust three seniors graduating this May and four of the starting five returning next year, the future at Mitchell still looks bright. M.H.S.

Frank Silvers struggles to outdistcnce two rivals. The Mitchell Cross Country runners, under the captaincy of Dan Moore and Ken Graves, started off the '67 season with an upset by defeating the previ- ous year's conference champ, Brownstown, in a duel meet. During the season, the Jackets finished on top in six out of twenty contests and were close in several others. One of these wins was a victory in the Bloomfield invitational. Another high spot of the season occurred at the Bloomington Class Meet. The sophomores were first in the B division and scored, overall, the fifth highest out of forty-six teams. The M.H.S. harriers were a young group of boys with only four seniors on the team. In May, Kenny Graves, Danny Moore, Frank Silvers, and Paul Stroud will bequeath their teammates the job of defending Mitchell High School's cross country record. 71 FAST ACTION, HARD WORK,PLUS ENTHUSIASTI Front row: M.

On August 26, the Jackets opened their season in a Mid-Southern conference iamboree. They battled Brownstown to a scoreless deadlock in a pouring rain. Following the jamboree, the Jackets traveled to Bloomington to open their regular season. The game was marred with errors by the Jackets, who were forced to accept an 18-7 defeat. The Jackets hosted the Paoli Rams for their first Conference game. Down 14-0 at the half, the Jackets came roaring back in the second half to defeat the Rams 26-20 in the final seconds of the game. The Jackets went on the road again to make a visit at the Edgewood Mustang's corral. They got off to a slow start, but managed to hand the Mustangs a 33-O defeat. The Jackets next made a trip to Salem for their second Mid-Southern conference game. Salem scored in every quarter giving the Jackets a 27-19 conference loss. Corydon was next to invade the Jacket's gridiron for one of the all-important conference games. The Panthers put up quite a struggle before the Jackets managed to tame them 21-13 in the final minutes of the game. 72 Bough, P. Powell, S. Connell, D. Jackson, C. Rhorer, R. Brown, G.

The Jackets got a Wildcat by the tail in their next game on the road. Jasper displayed a quick offense and a powerful defense as they bowled over the hapless Jackets in a 61-6 rout. Mitchell's Homecoming brought arch-rival Bedford to the M. H. S. field. Mitchell played a fine game, but injuries received in the Jasper game had weak- ened the Jackets. The defense was unable to stop a fine Bedford attack and Mitchell's Homecoming was spoiled 33-12. Mitchell played Clarksville in a decisive conference match. When the gun sounded, Clarksville had de- feated Mitchell 26-6, thus putting the Jackets out of the conference race. In the next game, the Brownstown Braves com- bined a good running attack to scalp Mitchell 42-7. Springs Valley's undefeated Blackhawks swooped down on the Jackets in the final game of the '67 season. The Blackhawks scored at will and defeated the Jackets 33-O. All in all, Mitchell's gridiron Jackets had a rough season, but all their fans were proucl of the team's effort to defend the M.H.S. colors.

Vince King is pulled down only after a long gain. 73 AS JACKET PLAYERS PUT TO USE THE SKILL THEY Coach Will Cheesman was looking forward to the T967 season, eagerly anticipating a fine year. When practice started on August T5, he had twelve return- ing lettermen to build a team upon. Vince King, Mike Stickney, Dennis Watterson, Rick Marshall, Mike May- den, Mark Geyer, Steve Garrison, Dan McCart, Steve Emberton, Al Paige, and Donnie Mann became the nucleus of the T967 team. Each of these boys plus a large number of prospective players worked a stren- uous summer program. This program increased the strength, speed, and conditioning of these boys. When August T5 arrived, the Jackets were ready and eager for contact. Coach Cheesman immediately took charge of the linemen, and assistant Coach Roger Snow took over the backfield coaching duties. Although the team as a whole had an unsuccess- ful year, several boys were honored at the end of the season. Phil Powell, Rick Marshall, Mike Stickney, Steve Emberton, and Al Paige made the All-Confer- ence team. Also making the All-Area team were Phil Powell, Mike Mayden, and Steve Emberton. 74 Phil Powell lunges to drop foe as Mike Ramey rushes to help Phil Powell struggles to elude defenders.

Although the team didn't come up to their fans' expectations, certain parts of the season proved promising. Team captain, Jack Murphy, led the team by lowering his previous 220 record of 22.3 seconds to 21.2 seconds. Bob Eversole, a iunior, raised the pole vault record from 'IO feet 6 inches to TT feet 9 inches. The Mitchell speedsters opened the season with an indoor triangular meet at University. They placed second to Bedford but topped University with the score 30 to 25, Three meets later they met University and Shoals aww- D. Stewart, R. Atkinson, S. Grissom, J. Thacker, P. Leonard.

The Jackets turned in a score of 74 to obliterate Shoals who scored 42 and University who scored 24. After many disappointing meets, the Jackets traveled to West Washington. Following an envigorating engagement with the Senators, they re- turned home with high spirits after winning 69 to 49. For the final event of the season, Mitchell was in- vaded by Springs Valley and Paoli. At the close of an exciting meet, Springs Valley was on top with 58W points, Mitchell 44M, and Paoli 43. With I3 returning Iettermen, M.H.S. faculty and students are looking forward to a winning season next year. 880-yard relay runners prepare to fire out of the blocks. 76 N RADIATE SPIRIT AND DETERMINATION AT MEETS.

I I Mike Mayden crosses the plate to score the tying run in a close game. After winning only seven of their thirteen games last season, the mighty Jackets came back tremend- ously strong this season to win thirteen of their seven- teen games. Three seniors participated this past year: Dana Dunbar, star pitcher for the Jacketsg George James, relief pitcher, and Jon Allen, MitcheII's num- ber one shortstop. These boys led their fifteen team- mates to the climax of their rewarding season. Before going into Sectional play, the Jackets had won ten out of fourteen games. One contest was a doubleheader with the Bluejackets traditional rival, Bedford, Mitchell came out on the winning end in both games. Behind the strong pitching arm of senior hurler, Dana Dunbar, and the heads-up ball playing of the entire team, Mitchell was able to beat all three op- ponents to take the Sectional Championship. Having to play the Stonecutters in the final game made the Jackets play harder so they could take home the Sectional trophy. From the start till the finish, the final game of the sectional was a mound battle between MitcheIl's Dunbar and Bedford's Butch Senger. Dunbar out pitched Senger by throwing twelve strikeouts and giving up only one hit. Dunbar was credited with all three sectional wins by striking out forty-one men. He struck out nineteen in the opening game with Medora, ten as a reliever in the Oolitic game, and twelve in the final showing. Larry Leonard swats the ball for another M.H.S. hit. Dan Moore eagerly awaits the next offering of the enemy hurler. 79 Z S i I 2 2 ! 1 E I m may5.yrs4m.41.L.-:Imamwas . W ' k MQ- .V-.iw H., K 2 ' ' , ' i , .

To them it was a new beginning and the opening of a whole new world of adventure. Although the freshmen stood on the lowest rung of the M.H.S. ladder, they knew that eventually they would become one of the almighty seniors of Mitchell High School. During their freshman year, the students became familiar with the rules and regulations governing the high school. ln the freshman year, the curriculum was greatly broadened. Many of the freshmen were introduced to the world of algebra. Their knowledge of language was broadened as Spanish and Latin added to their Freshman officers Pat Atchinson, Secretary: Don Caudell, Presidentg Jan Worley, Treasurer, and Tom Acton, Vice-President contemplate some of the up-coming basketball games of '67-'68. The frosh also had an opportunity to join many of the extra-curricular activities at M.H.S. and were able to cheer at games and attend dances. As a result, with only one year of high school be- hind them, the freshmen are fully adapted to the fast- moving pace of M.H.S. vocabularies. Physical Education, Guidance, and Eng- Linde Abel lish were other courses offered to the freshmen.

In the fall of 1967, the class of '70 finally achieved the goal to which they had looked forward for their entire school career. They had become upperclassmen. During their sophomore year, they developed the qualities of good leadership and flowered into a valuable asset to M,H.S. They renewed friendships, gained new experiences through participating in more difficult subiects. Sophomores probed the past in world history classes. They also' underwent im- portant experiments in biology classes. The sopho- mores were very busy in extra-curricular activities. 94 They supported athletic events and at last became eligible to ioin Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y. The class of '70 became more sophisticated by seeking more op- portunities. At the last of the year, they ordered their school rings. When spring arrived, the sophomores had matured into responsible, respectable, and well-adjusted stu- dents. They strengthened bonds of friendship and gained a greater sense of importance from their sophomore year.

'K-W i i,,, ,, ,ASG The class of '69 began the junior year with great anticipation and high hopes for making this their best year yet at Mitchell High School. They achieved this goal with the help and supervision of their junior class sponsors: Mr. Hollace Sherwood, chairman, Mrs. Laura Hays, Mrs. Treva Parker, Mrs. Doris Gardin, Mr. Asa Terry, and Mr. Michael Embree. After selecting class officers, they began various moneymaking projects to raise money for the prom. Among these projects, they sold concessions at the football games and sponsored several dances. Along with other extra-curricular activities, the juniors were offered the opportunity for the first time to participate in working on the annual staff. This year of experience will aid the seniors of next year to produce a better annual. More importantly, the juniors began preparing themselves for the future. Those planning to attend college began applying to the colleges of their choice and getting themselves ready for examina- tions of mental ability, college boards and competi- tion for scholarships. By the time the last week in May had rolled around, the class of '69 was ready to accept the responsibility for which it had so painstakingly been prepared dur- ing the previous three years. 97 M H S JUNIORS ANITICIPATE COMING YEAR WITI- Judy Bush Kenny Carler Jim Cessna Pam Chasiain Sieve Chastain Jerlene Collingsworih Sieve Connell Wayne Cooney Tom Cooper Greg Cornwell John Dodds Mike Dorsett Jory Ea rl Avon Eisele Sharon Ellis Janice Elrod Raymond Ely Jo Ellen Emberlon Roger Enocks Ellis Fisher Debbie Fleenor Tom Flinn Bob Freeman Jerry Garrison Bill George Jenifer Golden Linda Goodman Sieve Grissom Carol Hall Nancy Hamilion Donna Hardman Nancy Harrison Gloria Hasfe Susi Haffield Rita Hawk Sharon Hawkins Jackie Heise Diana Henderson Jim Henderson Linda Henderson Arlhur Hirsch Barbara Holf Karen Howell Mike lrwin Linda lsom David Jackson Charles Johnson Connie Jones Mike Jones Bobby Karr Randy Kelley Deborah Kern Karhy Kern Carol King Claude King Ann Kifile Kim Knowles Dave Lane Leslie Leonard Pam Leonard Party Lynch Donnie Mann Rick Marshall June Marlin HIGH HOPES CONFIDENCE AND WELL LAID PLANS Carolyn McClure Steve McPhereson Steve Meadows Linda Melton Phyllis Miller Danny Mitchell Pamela Montgomery Becky Neal Connie Norrington Janet Pace Bradley Parrott Kathy Patton Charles Payton Steve Pless Barry Powell Philip Powell Ronnie Prince Pat Quigley Mike Ramey Virgil Ratliff Jerry Rayhill Terry Rayhill Jerry Reynolds Clifford Rhorer Terry Richason Evelyn Robertson Nan Robinson Stormi Root Gary Russell Roger Russell Diana Scherchel Jim Sheelcs Nancy Sheeks Martha Slaughter Myra Sloan Diana Smith Mary Jo Smith Vicki Smith Becky Spradlin Margie Stankovitch Delores Stearns Margaret Stroud Steve Suddrath Carl Teagarden Brenda Terrell Jim Thacker Martin Thimling Steve Thomas Debbie Todd Cindy Tolbert Jerry Tolbert Terry Tolbert Jeff Welton Tony White Phil Wigley Frank Wilcox Rhea Dawn Wilcox John Wilkins Jim Williams Marilyn Workman Debbie Worley Connie Yother Monta Young Brenda Zeeks THE '68 SENIOR CLASS HAS MANY UNFORGETTABLE --vu-gy-..--' Senior officers Steve Emberton, President, Marty Gore, Secretary, Tim Row, Treasurer, and Dan McCart, Vice-President possess the determination and ability to lead their class through their busiest year. When the class of T968 entered high school as freshmen, they were excited about becoming a part of the M.H.S. student body. They met new friends and began adiusting to high school life. They started their high school career by becoming members of numerous organizations and by being active in school functions. The seniors of T968 started their sophomore year a little more aware of their surroundings. One of the main events was ordering class rings. Also, a distinc- tive school ring was adoptecl for the first time at Mitchell High School. Sophomore Teena Brown was chosen Athletic Sweetheart in that year, making the sophomore class look mighty to fellow M.H.S.'ers. As iuniors, they began planning for the up-coming Junior-Senior Prom, Arabian Nights, in order to make it the best prom ever at Mitchell High School. 100 To finance the prom, they sponsored after-game dances and also worked diligently at ball-games, selling refreshments, in order to meet the Prom's many expenses. The juniors displayed their school spirit by helping make a fellow class member, Vicki Blackerby, become the Athletic Sweetheart Crown. The seniors conducted the yearbook and magazine sales during their final year at M.H.S. They also made their plans for the future and studied hard in order to make their last year their very best Marty Gore was crowned Athletic Sweetheart , making the mighty class of T968 victorious for the third year straight. When graduation day finally arrived, the students felt a mixture of excitement and sadness as they said good-by to their classmates, teachers, and M.H.S.
