HAVE ENDEAVORED TO PRESENT A PICTURE OF MORTON HIGH SCHOOL, ITS STUDENTS AND WHAT THEY DO. INCLUDED ON THESE PAGES IS A RECORD OF THE SCHOOL YEAR 1964-65 AS IT PROGRESSED THROUGH THE SEASONS OF THE FIFTY-FOURTH YEAR IN THE HISTORY OF M.H.S. THE SCHOOL YEAR HAS SEEN MANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS AT MORTON HIGH SCHOOL. TWO NEW CLASSES, BIO-CHEMISTRY AND SPEECH, WERE ADDED TO THE CURRICULUM. A CHESS CLUB WAS STARTED. MORTON HAD ITS FIRST MERIT SCHOLAR. IN THE MOCK ELECTION IN NOVEM3ER, THE HIGH SCHOOL SAW ITS LANDSLIDE FOR LYNDON JOHNSON TURNED INTO A NATION-WIDE PHENOMENON. IN SHORT, THIS HAS BEEN A YEAR OF TRANSITION FOR MORTON HIGH SCHOOL, A YEAR THAT HAS SEEN THOSE WHO LEARN AT MORTON BECOME MORE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES OF THE FAST MOVING WORLD. 2 In Memoriam WE RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THE 1965 YEARBOOK TO THE MEMORY OF MR.

VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM SENIOR LETTERMEN: S. Peters, J. Grejtak THE NETMEN SCRAPPED THEIR WAY TO A 6-12 RE- CORD AND GAINED THE RESPECT OF EVERY TEAM THEY PLAYED, THE INDIANS LOOKED LIKE WORLD BEATERS AT TIMES BUT THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH CONSISTEN- CY. JUNIOR GUARD MIKE TATE WAS THE BRAVE’S FLOOR LEADER AND HIGH SCORER. SHELDON PETERS A SENIOR FORWARD, HAD THE DISTINCTION OF OUT- FAKING NEARLY EVERY PLAYER ON THE SCHEDULE. SENIOR JOHN GREJTAK WAS THE SCRAPPY DEFENSIVE BALL HAWK FOR THE INDIANS FROM HIS FORWARD SPOT. PEACH HENNEN WAS THE BALL HANDLER AND LED THE TEAM IN ASSISTS FROM HIS GUARD SPOT. DENNIS ROBINSON AND BOB MENZ WHO ALTERNATED AT FORWARD AND CENTER BATTLED UNDER THE BOARDS. THE INDIAN BASKETBALL FORTUNE LOOKS BRIGHT FOR NEXT YEAR WITH A STRONG NUCLEUS OF LET- TERMEN RETURNING, WHILE ONLY TWO SENIORS HANG UP THEIR UNIFORMS. 32 Mike Tate, Morton's all-conference guard, drives for another two points.
