People go by and gaze in and Wonder what is happening inside. This book will di- vulge the secret of the important pro- cess Which took place during one year at M.T.H.S. The building is a factory which pro- cesses precious stones by an extraor- dinary method. Upon entering the buil- ding from the mines, the stones go through a long process-a four year one-in order to obtain the status of finished, sparkling gems. 3 tt. lvl CAULDRON EDITORIAL STAFF ,.f P5 f r Nw Sv 3 IE!

TREASURE OI' MEMORIES Creating a theme, collecting copy, selling ads, and the seemingly eternal task of picture taking and developing, found the yearbook staff working long hours after school and dur- ing evenings compiling information for ano- ther Cauldron. Working against occassional discouraging set-backs, the staff's able ama- teur photographers began turning everyday events into lasting memories. Although Miss Smith was injured very seri- iously in December, she willingly provided a great deal of assistance to the staff in order to make this year's book possible. The real purpose of a school yearbook is to preserve memories which will in a short time become cherished and priceless. With this thought in mind, the staff of '56 hopes this edition will become valuable to you, the rea- der. CAULDRON ADVERTISING STAFF SEATED, left to right: Mr. Furkin, Adv.: F.

The Future Nurses Club brought a fine series of enlightening programs to the stu- dents interested in the nursing field. The annual M-Club night's feature attraction was a basketball game between the male members of the Morton and Tremont faculties. The Home Economics III Class held a tea for those students who were on the honor roll. This newly instituted project should inspire stu- dents to try hard for this added re- ward. Almost every evening the I. V. Cheerleaders could be seen practic- ing their yells in the gym or in the corridor. Their enthusiastic cheers were backing the boys, whether Winning or losing. Constantly alert for any eventful moment were these boys equipped with their cameras. Long hours in the darkroom developing and dry- ing pictures tor the Cauldron also added to their job. - ,.

OUR HEADS WERE Misfortune visited M.T.H.S. often in '56 calling for the help of substitute teachers. Mrs. Case replaced Mr. Furkin upon his resigna- tion in November. A permanent teacher, Mr. Hanson, took her place for the second semester. More substiutes, Mrs. Keighin and Miss Ehrlicher, were needed in December when Miss Smith was injured While trying to stop her rolling car. She suffered a broken hip and spent many months in the hospital. Things had just settled down, when Miss Iones became ill and required surgery. During her stay in the hospital, Mrs. Swanstorm taught English. Despite these difficulties, the students received the usual thorough dose of knowledge.

HND WE LEHRNED TO WORK To Walk down the corridor of Morton Township High School is to step into a miniature Society composed of lun-loving teenagers. Perpetual youth and its antics en- liven the between-class intervals and create perpetual jobs for the long-suffering janitors, cooks, and teachers. The classrooms are scenes of success versus frustra- tion, curiosity versus boredom, and always of young America laying the foundations of its destiny. Typing class uses only the best office equipment for such everyday routines as timed writings. WITH OTHERS. M. Reel practices on the newly-purchased dlctaphone during one of her free periods.

Daily work is done by many during their study hall, and when test time comes around. even more concentrated effort is used. After work has been completed. daydreaming or joining a gob fest takes the remaining study time. Students in Algebra ll. under the watchful eye of Mr Rein, rack their brains on a weekly examination TOOK HABDER EXI-lMS HND HHRDLY PASSED. For 185 days, M.T.H.S. students came to school, attended classes, studied their lessons, and wrote tests on what they had learned. This Was done with eager- ness in the fall, but during the Winter months, students looked forward to get- ting a few days off now and then for various occasions. The balmy Weather of spring encour- aged most students to keep an accurate count of how many school days remained. Those who were impatient to get outside sometimes felt that classes lasted an eter- nity, but actually the spring days sped by rapidly. Soon it was May 25. The freshmen, sophomores, and juniors all promoted to a higher rank were saying good-bye to the graduating seniors. Thus another year at M.T.H.S. had been inscribed on the pages of history. The long-awaited time has almost arrived for these seniors, who practice walk- ing up the aisle before graduation day. In obes ol blue and white, the class of '56 practices the steps of Commencement to the tune of Pomp and Clrcumstance. KKK W fm A f4 6 - f, ? 5 it W .R -if in yi 36 fg..

FACULTY 81 CLASSES Facing the problems which appeared in the factory throughout the year, were the skilled minds of the members of the school board. In order to make the factory facilities more com- plete they arranged for the installation of new equipment. This included a dictaphone for the commerce room. a trampoline for the gym clas- ses, and an automatic Washer in the home econ- omics department. The lot in the rear of the school Was blacktopped to furnish space for parking cars during games and other activities. The long hours put in by the board have not been in vain, for the school is considered one of the finest in the statei SEATI-ID. lei! to right: Mr. Homer Oswald: Mr. Elton Heiser, secretary: Mr. Albert Beyer, president.

Such routine tasks as making announcements, handling lost and found arti- cles, and keeping attendance records were coped with as well as the more baffling prob- lems like how to arrange a satisfactory sche- dule that would let 275 students take their desired subjects. The major questions of the school were the business of Mr. Grundy, While Mr. Carper took care of general supervision. Besides the many problems which confronted him in the office, Mr. Carper coached the track team.

EXPERIENCED WORKERS The members of the faculty, with patient and personal understanding, have successfully guided the student body through another year. Their unseliish attitudes of spending many extra hours tor the stu- dents' benefit, provided much aid to various clubs and classes. They found responsibility to the greatest extent with the coming of each new day and were able to solve the many problems of the student body.

SPARKLING The Class of '59, consisting of eighty stu- dents, took their place as freshmen of M.T.H.S. in the fall of l955. These freshmen displayed mixed feelings at the beginning of the school year. It seemed a mighty jump from junior high to high school, but they soon adjusted themselves to high school life and became an active part of M. T. H. S. After a rough initiation day, their class, which contains a bit of brain matter, felt prepared for any obstacles which might con- front them in their high school life. The Stu- dent Council had them dressed in everything from diapers to boxes, and at an assembly later in the day, each freshman had a certain task to perform before the student body. As full-fledged members of M. T. H. S., they looked forward to entering their float, Catching a Victory, in the homecoming parade. The freshmen chose a cold, Windy night in October for their class Weiner roast at Kennel Lake. After their fill of hot dogs, cokes, potato chips, and ice cream bars, they hiked around the lake as a means of keeping Warm. The frosh social hour finished the special events of the year.

The class of '58 promptly began the year by choosing the following officers: Iohn Oswald, Pres., Lee Heiser, Vice Pres., and Kathryn Clark, Sec'y.-Treas. The class advisors were Mrs. Anderson and Mr. Hager. After a suitable date was set, the class picnic was held at Sportsman's Lake and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all the sophomores who attended. Soon afterward, plans for the class Homecoming float, Charged for a Vic- tory, got underway. Evelyn Dufelmeier and Lois Swedberg represented the class in the Homecoming Queen's Court, and the event was not soon forgotten. As the school term swiftly passed, the Soph- omore Social Hour became the next activity in sight, and after much planning took place March 9. April and May left the sophomores wondering where their second year at M. T. H. S. had gone, and at the close of school, the class of '58 looked forward with great expec- tations to becoming juniors.

Knowing that this Was the year to save, they used very little money for their float by having the horsemen of their class ride their fine animals. Even though they didn't Win, they could have earned plenty of money by giving rides on the horses after the parade. School days were flying past, and hard Work soon began at the concession stands at the football and basketball games. They finally took time out in january to enjoy Working on their third social hour, i'Cartoon Capers. The junior play Was considered a success by the double standards of pleasure and trea- sure. All the juniors enjoyed their first try at acting and are waiting for it again next year. Under the guidance of their excellent ad- visors, they finally offered a climax to any senior's high school days by giving them a very elaborate Prom. This marked another success on the record of the class of 1957. FRONT, left to right: Miss jones, Adv.: G. Roclie, Pres. STANDING: Miss Iucobs, Adv.: I. Rassi, Sec'y.-Trecrs: L. Vance, V.

Tuesday and Friday afternoons spelled fun for members of the Girls Athletic Associ- ation. Tournament games scheduled through- out the year kept each girl fit as a fiddle. Each class selected two captains who met to select teams composed ot a representative number oi girls from each class. To start the year out well, the soccer tourna- ment games began early in the fall. Basketball and volleyball tournaments were played dur- ing the Winter months, and badminton, tennis. and softball were scheduled during the re- mainder ot the year. K.

The first game was on the home field, where they met Deer Creek Mack- inaw in an easy win. In the second tussle the Potters canned pumpkin at the Eureka pump- kin festival by downing the home team. With over confidence the Potters took the trip to Farmington only to lose a heart breaker. The Potters caught fire at home the next week to down Dunlap under the fine running attack of Red Grange Stimeling, at half back. The tables turned the next Week, however. when at Chillicothe our No. l quarterback, Bill Roecker, was injured in the opening minutes lj t ,I of the game. With Bill out of the picture and Homecoming next it looked bad for Morton until an end, Bob VVarner, showed his versa- tility by taking over the vacancy. A bad break. the wrong way, decided the Homecoming game. When the Potters met Washington in their own pool, fsome may recall a slight a- mount of precipitationl they were a different team and showed themselves to be good n'1udders as they killed Washington's Illio chance. The last home contest looked sad for the Potters as they trailed by 13 at the half. They came back in true Morton style to win, however, and ended the season with a five and three record. Coach Bob Summer has been coaching in Morton since the 1954-55 school year. This year the school board realized how rnuch work he had and hired our assistant coach, Mr. Gilbert. Coach Gilbert taught the freshman and Sophomore boys football and basketball. This enabled the younger boys to receive more instruction and experience, thus making bet- ter teams for the future. The good records that the teams have had this year show what a fine job our coaches have done. CAPT. BILL ROECKER LARRY VANCE JERRY ROCKE BRUCE HOSKINS Quarterback Lett Hal!

Last year Don didn't see much action and lacked experience, but this year the big tackle learned fast and played regularly. Anyone that played across the line from Don Will agree tl1at he is a tough player and isn't easily shoved around. Since this was his senior year, M. T. H. S. lost a good player.

ROGER ZEHH Guard 4 BILL HOECKER RON GRIMM BILL SEIDEL GARY ELSER Guard Forward Guard Center A TEAM WITH LOTS OF SKILL HND B. Roecker leaps high. and scores once more for Morton. This year, as in previous seasons, Morton remained a constant threat to all opponents, and our team created another successful re- cord for the books. The usual disadvantage of being a club without height, diminished some- what with the addition of several tall under- classmen. Although lVlorton's quintet wanted very much to win the first place trophy in the Taze- well County Tournament, they were over- powered by Minier and had to be satisfied with second place honors. In the lllio Confer- ence the Potters lost but three games, and were ranked second in the league. The I.V.'s played fine basketball through- out the year and have many potential quali- ties. Gli BOB WARNER Center The tea1n's other captain, Bob Warner, also possessed the valuable attributes of sportsmanship and co-opera- tion. Because of his height, Bob brought much aid to the team by the excellent job ot rebounding he did. Per- forming at the forward and center positions, Bob became an accurate shooter, and his dependable scoring raised the Potters' score in many situations.
