1966 O. P. MORTON HIGH SCHOOL 7040 MARSHALL AVENUE HAMMOND, INDIANA VOL. XIII PUBLISHED BY THE TOP HAT STAFF to the We stumbled into this world lacking experience and knowledge. Because these deficiencies require years to overcome, all paths of life in the elementary years must be established for us. As we grow, however, we become individuals who wish to express our ideas. High school is the transition or staircase connecting our lives from the time when we are led by the hand to the time when we must take our own steps upward. The stairway is not an object of suspended animation that only lets us pass. Instead, each step prepares us in some way. Each level provides a phase of life necessary to gain enough experience and knowledge to develop a wholesome and worthwhile character. The days at MHS link two lives — childhood to adult¬ hood. Thus, during these days we are really climbing a stairway, the “Stairway to the Morrow.” SOCIAL In high school we principally acquire academic knowl¬ edge. However, high school also provides occasions for us to develop our social characters. The dances, assemblies, plays and trips, just a few of the activities provided for us, let us meet people and situations and gain experience for our social background. These events, too, comprise a basic step in our climb on the “Stairway to the Morrow.” The 1965 Homecoming Queen, Miss Barbara Frye Governors Spirit Team Anticipating an eventful night, a number of Morton Governors scurried to put the final touches on the Home¬ coming floats. Members of the senior class gathered at the home of Linda Chigas to design a somber graveyard scene entitled “Bury ’Em.” “Zoom to Victory,” the theme of the junior class float, was depicted by a fifteen foot rocket constructed of tissue carnations and chicken-wire. Winding its way from Harding School to the Hammond High football field, the Homecoming parade consisted of the class floats, the queen candidates and gaily deco¬ rated cars of enthusiastic Governor supporters. Setting the tempo for the long walk down the football field, the band played a rendition of “A Pretty Girl.” Silence filled the air as Association President Peter Gombus prepared to announce the 1965 MHS Home¬ coming Queen. Chosen by the student body, Queen Barbara Frye received a bouquet of red roses and the traditional crown. The queen and her court then reigned over the second half of the game from the sidelines. Although there was no Homecoming Dance, the Queen and her court were feted at the Dress Right Assembly, held on October 20. Members of the junior and senior classes demonstrated the proper and improper styles for th e various occasions of the school year. to Peerless Era by ' Bury Em ' Zoom to Victory ' CLUTCHING HER BOUQUET of red roses. Queen Barbara Frye begins her year-long reign with an expression of gratitude. MvBl! PREPARING THE GRAVE for Roosevelt Rough Riders are K. Hayduk, C. Pruitt, D. Washington Trip Creates Source of Education For Boarding the 5:30 p.m. Erie Lackawana train bound for Washington, D.C., 86 MHS upperclassmen com¬ menced a six day tour of the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., and the largest metropolis, New York City. Cover¬ ing 2100 miles, the trip, which began on October 19, introduced students to life on a fast moving train. Shouts of “there’s a party in car four” and “anybody got a radio?” echoed through the special eight car train. Riley, the tour-bus driver, guided the MHS Governors through the Lincoln Memorial, Wax Museum and Wash¬ ington Monument. Visiting the Archives Building and the Smithsonian Institute, the travellers scanned the documents of American heritage. The Iwo Jima Memor¬ ial, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the grave of the late President John F. Kennedy were viewed by the students as tributes to those who defended our country. In New York City the Governors visited the Statue of Liberty. Tours of the Empire State Building and the United Nations Building were next on the agenda. Plans also included a visit to Radio City Music Hall to see a stage presentation and a first-run movie. Having viewed The Great Race” at Radio City, some took the subway to Greenwich Village. Governors returned to Hammond on October 23 to renew school habits. NEW YORK CITY — its people and buildings — becomes a toy city when viewed from the observation platform of the Empire State Building. One 10 Elected Officers Assist Administration, Students Feted at the annual Inaugural Ball, the new association officers officially began their year long terms. Couples glided across the polished floor of the Scherwood Club to the music of the Johnny Nolan Orchestra. A colorful rainbow, ending in a pot of gold, carried out the theme of “At the End of the Rainbow.” This years dance proved to be the most successful affair the student government has sponsored. Students on five committees contributed efforts toward an enjoyable and profitable dance. The Student Association Inaugural ceremonies were conducted on November 5, 1965. Taking the oath of office from Principal W. W. Becker, President Pete Gom- bos then swore in Dallas Burton, Vice-President and Sue Powers, Recorder. Working to uphold their oaths, these officers endeavored to better the student body. The chief justice, class judges and cabinet members also pledged to up hold the Association constitution. ASSOCATION OFFICERS Pete Gombos, president, Dallas Burton, vice- president, and Sue Powers, recorder, discuss future events. LEADING THE FIRST DANCE of the evening. Association officers and in honor of the officers, the Ball was held at the Scherwood Club in cabinet members began the Inaugural festivities. Given by the Association nearby Schererville on November 5, 1965. 12 MHS Supports ' Little Governors ' , Be and Trung INDUSTRIOUS GOVERNORS collect funds at the annual assembly. NGUYEN THI TRUNG Striving to support the two Vietnamese foster children, Government Club members sponsored the Winter Dance and the Be and Trung Assembly. Because of the con¬ tributions Nguyen Thi Be and Nguyen Thi Trung are now attending school. Mr. R. Moorehead, Government Club sponsor, corresponds with each of the girls. A little of each personality is reflected in excerpts of letters. From Nguyen Thi Be . . . “Dear Parents, thanks to your continuous support, we keep on living comfortably. We, therefore, are deeply grateful to you and thank you so very much. I do hope you continue staying healthy until the end of your time on this earth. Over here, every night I light insence sticks to pray God to give you much good luck and every success with your studies at school.” And from Nguyen Thi Trung ... “My parents! I still go to school every day and only in the evening and I’m learning how to write. I promise you I’ll work diligently to become your good daughter. I have this letter written by another person because I can’t write yet.” Actors Set Stage for Comedy, Drama, Children ' Morton stage productions whisked Governors to a wonderland pf color and music. Presenting three full- length plays and a trio of one-act plays, the Drama De¬ partment members entertained the student body while developing their talents in the arts of acting. “You Can’t Take It With You,” the first of the full- length plays, (presented in the fall) depicted a family of individualists devoted to an enjoyable, if somewhat complicated, existence. Completely satisfied with their happy lives, they were shaken when young love proved to be a disruptive influence in the household. A night in jail and a bitter lover’s quarrel complicate the plot. The imaginary kingdom of Wanderlust and its Princess Rose-Violet next appeared on the MHS drama agenda. Antics of the many characters changed an almost tragedy, the marriage of the Princess to Bunkleman, into a day of happiness — the day the princess smiled. “The Clown Prince of Wanderlust” was presented in February. The basic purpose of the series of one-act plays was to give student directors an opportunity to display their skills. The one-act plays “Impromptu,” “Undercurrent” and “The Trysting Place” were presented early in the spring of the 1965-66 school year. “Elizabeth the Queen,” presented on April 22 and 23, portrayed the tragic love affair of Elizabeth I of England and Lord Essex. Foolish pride and a vast age difference prevent their attainment of happiness. 14 Play in 1965-66 Season BEGINNING PlAY PRACTICE for the spring play Elizabeth the Queen, student director Louise Capalby helps Mary Lou Czarnecki and Phil Goginsky with their lines and actions. THROWING THE GONGER down the well. Nursemaid Funjollity of The Clown Prince of Wanderlust disposes of the il- fated weapon which will bring the setting of the sun and the marriage of Princess Rose-Violet to Bunkleman. Construction Continues; New School Expands Begining in the fall of 1967, MHS Governors will claim the comer of 169th and Grand Avenue as their new home. Due to overcrowded conditions at the 7040 Mar¬ shall Avenue address, the school board appropriated the necessary funds in 1965 for a new, better equipped school to be known as the Oliver Perry Morton Senior High School. The building on Marshall Avenue will house the students of the O.P. Morton Junior High School. Destined to be the most modem school of the area, the new MHS will include an auditorium with a bal¬ cony, a library and a swimming pool. Tennis courts, a football field, a baseball diamond, an area for track events and practice areas will comprise the sports fa¬ cilities. A gymnasium with a seating capacity for 3200 will end the problem of travelling for sports events. DESTINED to be a wing of classrooms, the auditorium, or even the gym- pletion. Workmen continued laying the sub-level areas through the winter nasium, foundations of the framework await Xurther labor toward com- months so that work above ground could start with the arrival of spring. 16 MHS Boasts Honors— All-American, All-State Governors have much to be proud of this 1965-66 school year. Four athletes and one coach have made the slogan “Beware of the Governors” come true. The In¬ diana Sportswriters voted Darrel Chaney an All-State Quarterback, Jim Gasvoda an All-State End, and Larry Bogner an All-State Guard. Rich Volbrecht was voted to the second team as an All-State Half-Back. Parade Maga¬ zine honored Darrel Chaney with a placement on the All-American football team. However, these boys alone did not bring the mythical state championship to MHS. The boys that followed these leaders were the power¬ house that brought fame and recognition. Great as the efforts and skills of a group may be, it still needs some¬ one to guide them. For his outstandi ng coaching during the 1965 football season, Coach M. Zlotnik was voted “1965 Coach of the Year.” 1965 AU-STATE, All-American Quarterback Darrel Chaney. 17 Flowers Create Setting for Winter Dance, Prom WHIRLING TO THE SOFT MUSIC of the Ronnie Rodgers Orchestra, MHS Governors glided through an evening of bliss. Striving to support the two Vietnamese Governors, Be and Trung, the MHS Government Club sponsored the Winter Dance, “Cupid’s Concerto.” Held on February 12 at the Boilermaker’s Hall, the dance raised $145. Changed from formal to casual, the dance featured a king and queen from each of the four classes. At the Government Club assembly the final royal couple was chosen from the four elected at the dance. Government Club officers presided as officials for a dance contest. Winners were awarded popular records for their talents. “While Hearts Are Young,” Morton’s 1966 Junior- Senior Prom, provided for many Morton Governors an evening long to be remembered. At the largest social event of the year, students momentarily forgot textbooks and homework as they glided across the floor to the music of the Ronnie Rodgers Orchestra. The evening of April 29 found the Dorchester Inn filled with soft music, colorful decorations and fragrant flowers. The After-Prom Party, also held at the Dorchester Inn provided a full-course meal and entertainment by Wes Harrison, the sound effects man, and Eddie Burnette and Yvette, a magical act. Planned by the junior parents, the party also offered those who attended the Prom an op¬ portunity to dance to the music of the Gents, a local band providing promgoers music with a fast tempo. PROMS ARE NOT ALWAYS slow music and romantic moods; Governors also exhibit popular dancing skills at the After Prom Party. Seniors End Careers as High School Students with Addressing the 1966 graduating class, Mr. R. Moore- head, guest speaker at the Senior-Faculty Banquet, told of the many perils and faults of love. Morton seniors and faculty members, numbering 260, gathered at Mama Puntillo’s Restaurant in Highland for the banquet. Leav¬ ing an array of relics and good wishes to future graduat¬ ing classes, the seniors drafted the 1966 Class Will. The Class Prophecy, also written by the seniors, predicted their occupations in 1976. The Citations, a local band, provided entertainment with popular music before and after the banquet. Some seniors stayed to dance while others departed for home or parties. Seniors donned clothing styles ranging from one ex¬ treme to the other during Senior Week. Celebrating Kindergarten Day, seniors wore cut-off pants, short skirts, and decorated shirts, as well as suspenders and knee socks. To complement their attire, seniors sported eyebrow-pencil freckles and pony tails. Shades and Ber¬ muda Day found the class of 1966 hiding behind sun¬ glasses and wearing summer clothes. On Wednesday, seniors wore their senior cords for the last time. The class of 1966 celebrated their final day of school by at¬ tending the Senior Awards assembly where they re¬ ceived special awards for their four years at Morton and scholarships from various universities. They also dressed for the day by wearing special finery including heels, fancy party dresses, suits, ties and white shirts. 20 Senior Week, Baccalaureate, Graduation Exercises STAIRS lead to the future for the graduates of 1966. Finishing the last final-examination of their high school career, seniors looked to the Baccalaureate service which was to take place on the following Sunday, May 29, at four o’clock in the Hammond Tech auditorium. The Reverend John Eastwood of the Covenant United Pres¬ byterian Church gave the sermon while other area clergy¬ men offered the invocation and benediction. The 300 graduating seniors gathered for this ceremony for two reasons. The first was to partake in the religious aspects of this rite. The second was to carry on a tradition. MHS seniors participated in the final and most impor- taint event of their high school life, Commencement, on June 2. Held in the Hammond Civic Center, the exer¬ cises commenced at eight o’clock. Guest speaker, Sen¬ ator Birch Bayh, addressed the senior body on matters pertinent to the future. Mr. J. McNabney, a member of the MHS English department, played the organ at both the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. With the conclusion of these two exercises, the Class of 1966 moved from the protective name of student to the adventure-filled title of alumni. ADDRESSING the class of 1966 is principal W. W. Becker. Graduates listened to his words while waiting to receive t ACADEMICS To develop our minds academically is the true purpose of high school. Although we see many other assets in school¬ ing, learning ranks highest among them. We hear that one cannot get along without a high school diploma. Most of us know the worth of the words; most of us understand the value of education; and most of us can see that learning is the foundation of our “Stairway to the Morrow.” English, Journalism Introduce Principles of Writing, HOPING TO OBTAIN SOME ANSWERS to his questions, Don Shourek rummages through library shelves and selects a book on science. 24 LISTENING to a tape of literary evaluations played by Mrs. H. Moylan on the new language machine are Keith Coros and Penny Cole. DISPLAYING THE RESULTS of their efforts. Top Hot Editor Sue Means be rivals. Students completing journalism had an opportunity to join and Mortonite Editor Barb Hallum prove that sister publications can either the yearbook or newspaper staffs. Acquaint Students in Speech, Grammar, Literature Students in all courses found that the library contained valuable sources of information for term papers and reports as well as providing a quiet place to study any period during the day. The proper procedures for find¬ ing materials through the use of the card file and Dewey Decimal System were taught in English I. Composition V students took the Kuder Preference Test to reveal natural aptitudes and to determine in which areas — outdoor, literary, artistic, social service, mechanical, musical or scientific — they were most in¬ terested. Students received recognition by having their essays featured in a column of the Chicago Tribune. A new language laboratory was introduced in the Eng¬ lish literature classes this year. Teachers experimented to see if stud ents better comprehended literature when listening to a recording and reading it at the same time than by just reading the selection alone. Student discussions and opinions were also recorded. The basic “do’s” and “don’ts” of writing were taught in a one semester journalism course. Students wishing to exhibit their journalistic talents and abilities chose to work on either the Top Hat or Mortonite staff. 25 Morton Speech, Dramatics Provide Opportunities DESCRIBING HIS BREAKFAST of bacon, eggs and toast is Senior Tim Kallok. Students illustrate and explain their particular drawings to ful¬ fill chalk talk assignments given during the speech course. Extra-credit courses in speech and dramatics offered students the opportunity to communicate key ideas. Although Speech I was open to all classes, counselors primarily urged underclassmen to elect speech so they might continue with advanced courses and possibly enter debate or extemporaneous speaking. Record pantomimes, chalk talks and “heckle” speeches comprised the semes¬ ter’s work. Imitating a recording artist’s gestures and lip movements was the aim of students when pantomiming records. Grades were evaluated on the basis of facial expression, ease of gestures and the student’s knowledge of his selection. Chalk, blackboard and a student were all that were needed to create a successful chalk talk. Aspiring orators diagrammed the insides of light bulbs, of ball point pens and of kissing dolls while explaining their drawings. “Heckle” speeches were required so that students could gain experience in dealing with people who try to confuse speakers with taunts. The dramatics department presented “You Can’t Take It With You,” a three-act play by Hart and Kaufman. Dramatics students also performed in a children’s play, “The Clown Prince of Wanderlust” and three one-act plays — “Trysting Place,” “Impromptu,” “Undercurrents.” 26 Languages Assist Students Seeking Understanding SCENES OF PARIS inspire students in their studies of French. First year French students improved their pronunci¬ ation of words and pharses by listening to dialogues on the tape recorder. After gaining a sufficient vocabulary, students translated French novels into English, starting with “Sept un Coup.” Second year students completed “Auccassin et Nicolette,” a more advanced novel. Beginning German students not only concentrated on usag e of grammar and vocabulary but also on geography and customs. Bonn, the home of Beethoven, and Cologne, the location of the largest Gothic church in northern Europe, were two of the cities studied. This year the aurol-oral method was introduced in many of the Spanish I classes. This system emphasized the hearing and speaking aspects of the language, while the use of the textbook was limited. First year students took an imaginary car trip to Mexico. All made a diary of the journey which included maps, an expense account and personal observations of the customs and scenery. Students interested in furthering their study of Latin have enrolled in a third year course to be offered next fall. Literature will be stressed, and the students will study the Roman authors Virgil and Cicero. While basic grammar and its usage are learned during the first and second years, figures of speech will be the only grammar introduced in the third year. LISTENING, IMITATING and conversing are the three steps to learning a language. Students Dennis Dawson, Norma Reitz and Warren Griggs pronounce buch, aswischer and platte, which are German vocab¬ ulary words for book, eraser and record. 28 Foreign Traditions, Literature, Geography, People SPANISH DANCES El Cumbia and La Bomba are taught by Miss D. Matis to Laura Bjorklund and Mark Powers. Dancing provides an understanding of Mexican cultures. FINDING CURRENT EVENTS more interesting in France than in the United States, junior Jim Harsany reads Match, a popular French magazine similar to Life. GUM CHEWERS caught by Mr. W. Ruff must either stick the gum on their noses until the class ends, as sopho¬ more Emory White, or serve a deten¬ tion befpre or after school. DEMONSTRATING A NEW METHOD of choosing chemicals for his ex¬ periment, Po Khamvongsa covers his eyes and selects a bottle of H2CO3, Lab Experiments Prove Theories and Unknowns Juniors and seniors desiring to obtain knowledge of the physical sciences select either chemistry or physics. Through laboratory experiments chemistry students demonstrated the basic principles of ionization, oxida¬ tion and other chemical reactions. Molecular weights, activity of elements and parts of an atom were studied during the first semester. Students also learned to pre¬ pare chemicals and test for results. Occasionally a small amount of the wrong chemical created an unexpected reaction, but all experiments were properly supervised. The second semester of chemistry was primarily con¬ cerned with the use of atomic physics to predict the reactions of chemical combinations. Physics, a more advanced course in the physical sci¬ ences, requires a sound background in mathematics. Heat, light, density and radioactivity comprised the areas covered in the course. Students also worked on projects of their own choice which dealt with polarized light, static electricity and other related subjects. BEFORE PERFORMING o physics experiment, Mike Mestrovich, sneaks a handful of ice to be used for a heat test. The purpose of heat ex¬ periments is to measure the number of calories needed to melt ice. RACING WITH THE CLOCK, zoology students attempt to idently structures and organisms for one of Mr. J. Rasmussen ' s practical. Mother Nature Puzzles Many Young Scientists Microscopes, forceps, and scalpels aided biology stu¬ dents in their dissections and studies of the worm, cray¬ fish, clam, frog and other specimens. Field trips also gave students an opportunity to carefully observe in¬ sects in their natural habitats. In another class pro¬ ject second semester students took bacteria counts by holding petri dishes in specific places throughout the building. They also raised bacteria cultures in the class¬ room. Graphs, notes, reports and a laboratory notebook were the basic requirements of the course. Instead of the traditional grades of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” and “F” students in the new zoology course either received an “A” or an “F” for their efforts. This experi¬ ment relieved the pressures of test-taking and allowed students to evaluate themselves. Students performed physiological experiments using frogs, turtles and albino rats. Embryology was also studied in great detail. Dis¬ sections of the dogfish shark and the fetal pig were correlated with the study of evolution. Students took a trip to the Museum of Natural History in Chicago to study the steps of evolutionary development. PREPARING HER FROG for o muscle physiology experiment, biology student Betsy Biconic surprisingly discovers that a simple mechanical stimulus can cause leg muscle contraction. Electrical stimuli, produced by touching the muscle with an electrode, and chemical stimuli, which include placing acetic or other acids directly on the leg, are also used in the experiment. DEMONSTRATING THE DEMENSIONS of a triangle. Dr. El Naggar explains its properties to geometry student, Cary Zneimer. Problems To Challenge Future Mathematicians Mathematics provides a sound background in almost any profession. Thus, Morton offers general math, al¬ gebra, geometry, advanced algebra and trigonometry. Approximately 50 percent of the freshmen and many sophomores elected general mathematics to master the use of compasses, protractors and rulers. Last year teachers introduced modern algebra, a study of the system of sets. Students found the “unknown,” graphed equations and solved quantity problems. Theorems, assumptions and congruencies, studied in geometry, were the basis for solving simple physics prob¬ lems and the complexities of angles, arcs and polgons. Trigonometry and advanced algebra students had to learn the fundamentals of modern mathematics before attempting the assigned course. 32 Social Sciences Provide Views on Government Understanding the history of the United States is the purpose of social studies courses. In fulfilling this goal, students studied the causes and effects of the Revolutionary and Civil wars. The Jungle, a novel by Upton Sinclair, was required reading in one of the his¬ tory classes. In all classes discussions and individual responses were considered important because they ex¬ hibited the students’ interest in this field. Government students studied the basic principles of the Constitution and its effect upon our government. To gain further information, government teachers plan¬ ned a visit to City Hall. The students met Mayor Edward C. Dowling and sat in the jury box during court. WHILE VISITING CITY HALL, Mr. J. Gartner and his government students had the privilege of meeting Edward C. Dowling, Mayor. 33 GIRLS ' CHORUS MEMBERS spend class hours practicing songs under the guidance of Mrs. D. Mathena. The girls participated in the Christmas and spring concerts this year along with the Swing Sixteen, Carillons and the other MHS choral groups. MHS Students Display Abilities in Music, Art Performances t ' y vocal groups in special assemblies contributed to the festivities of Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. The vckal department substituted a Christ¬ mas concert for the sual autumn concert and featured the “Hallelujah Choru ,” a religious selection. The Con¬ cert Choir, Girls’ Chorus, Boys’ Chorus, Girls’ Choir, Swing Sixteen and Carillons participated in the concert. The Swing Sixteen, a vocal ensemble, performed at the Boilermakers Hall for a Woodmar Junior Women’s Club program. They also caroled at the Hoosier State Bank during the Christmas season. Choral groups presented a primarily religious spring concert on May 12 and 13. “God’s Trombones,” a 48 page narrative of the creation, concluded the program. Art I and II stressed the basic use of artistic tools and the development of an ability to express oneself. Advanced students concentrated on sketching facial fea¬ tures and capturing the expressions of a live model. Stu¬ dents alternated as models while the rest of the class duplicated poses and expressions. They also sculptured in clay, metal and plaster for individual projects. WHILE EXPRESSING HIMSELF through music. Freshman Jack Waters exhibits skills acquired in Boys Chorus. 34 Business, Home Economics Courses Train Students Through the commercial courses of shorthand, stenog¬ raphy and typing, students were able to acquire a sound background in the business field. In Typing I students learned keyboard fundamentals and the basic parts of the typewriter. As their speed and accuracy increased, students practiced to music and typed business letters and memorandums. Stenography is a well-rounded course that fully pre¬ pairs the business students for a secretarial career. In¬ cluding the third and fourth semesters of typing and shorthand, steno also provides complete training in the use of office equipment furnished by the Illinois Bell Telephone Company. Students practiced voice control, studied good grooming techniques and discussed person¬ ality traits necessary in a secretarial career. Studying shorthand is like learning a completely new language. Because each symbol represents a different word, students had to practice these symbols before they could become efficient in taking dictation. Business law, commercial math and clerical practice also enabled students to further studies of business. For Future Vocations as Jobholders, Homemakers LEARNING how to set a table, boys ' foods students Rich Winders and Jerry Mikel watch Russ Shepard properly arrange china and silver. Comprehensive clothing classes taught students the fundamentals for selection, care and making of clothes. Beginning students attempted to make a blouse and skirt while more advanced students’ projects included sewing a coat, dress, slacks and pajamas. The clothing course, however, was not completely concerned with sewing. Six weeks of book work comprised a necessary part of the curriculum. During this period students studied var¬ ious fabric weaves and made “swatch cards.” On these cards students .pasted and identified almost every type of material. At the end of the course, the teacher selected superior students to present a fashion show. At this program presented for the parents, girls modeled fash¬ ions they completed during the year. Students in boys’ foods not only learned the proper procedure for table setting and ironing, but also cooked such foods as pancakes, cupcakes, cookies, and baked apples: The name “boys’ foods” is often misleading. Boys discussed topics that included good grooming, marriage and nutrition. They also had an opportunity to take a course in elementary sewing. After perfecting the task of needle threading, they practiced sewing on buttons and performed other simple mending tasks. STITCHING SEAMS, cutting patterns and hemming skirts are a few of the skills taught In the clothing course. Students Practice Skills, Learn Athletic Essentials Piles of rumpled clothes, a steady dripping of the showers and the hum of voices combined to create the atmosphere of the girls’ locker room. After hastily donning gym suits, the girls utilized equipment which included balance beams, side horses and mats. During early fall, students took advantage of warm weather by participating in outdoor sports. Teach¬ ers introduced speed-away, a combination of touch foot¬ ball, soccer and basketball as new field sports. Students also exercised indoor volleyball skills. Folk and square dancing aided the girls in the study of rhythms while basketball and tumbling developed muscle coordination. The spring curriculum consisted of softball, track, base¬ ball and other outdoor recreational sports. Physical education instructor Miss J. Hall explained, “Students are now more aware of the importance of phys¬ ical education since the late President Kennedy’s Coun¬ cil on Youth Fitness introduced new programs.” PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENT, Andrea Spears, pauses in the ex- ecution of a volleyball serve. MUSCLE-BUILDING exercises, performed on chinning bars, are part of the daily routine in boys ' gym classes. 39 ORGANIZATIONS While climbing toward our future, we must test our abilities and preferences. The finding may show us the way to a life vocation. The organizations at MHS provide such opportunities for research. Club meetings and classroom curriculums assist us in choosing a suitable goal. The ac¬ tivities allow us to become acquainted with and specialize in areas of our choice.

NHS Edits Constitution, Admits New Members Leadership, scholarship, service and character were the necessary qualities for admission into the National Honor Society. NHS membership reached almost 90 in 1966. The amended constitution required candidates to have a 3.0 grade average for the semester preceding ap¬ plication. Another revision was the possible status of sophomores as members. The annual NHS banquet, planned by sponsor Miss M. Hunter and club officers, was held on April 19, at San Remo’s Restaurant. Be and Trung, Morton’s two adopted girls in Vietnam, inspired the Government Club to organize several fund¬ raising activities. “Cupid’s Concerto,” substituted for the Winter Formal of previous years, featured class kings and queens and an informal atmosphere. The dance was financially the most successful affair since the beginning of the club. On February 25 a special assembly featured a skit on Batman, popular band music and two girls dressed as Be and Trung. Government Club members armed with tin cans, noise makers and determination collected money for the two adopted youngsters. Coal mines, streets of by-gone days and silent movies intrigued Historical Club members. The club, sponsored by Mr. W. Ready, took Saturday tours of the Science and Industry Museum and Chicago Historical Society. Panel discussions on subjects including the Vietnamese situation comprised club programs. 42 ' Cupid ' s Concerto ' Aids Adopted Girls—Be, Trung GOVERNMENT CLUB OFFICERS are - BOTTOM ROW: L.

Gombos (pres.). Morton’s Student Association, patterned after the United States three-branch system, served as a link be¬ tween students and faculty. The Association handled such business as car registration and part-time jobs. Tasks delegated to the chief executive included pre¬ siding at all Congressional meetings and selecting a re¬ liable cabinet. President Pete Gombos created, as an addition to a previously established cabinet post, the Assistant Secretary of Employment to deal with jobs. House and Senate members composed the legislative branch of the Student Association. They met twice a month to discuss business and vote on expenditures. Con¬ gressmen sold pennants reading “First-in-State.” Student Court, consisting of chief justice, four judges and their assistants, tried students accused of minor violations. Those convicted either paid fines or served on cleaning detail for punishments. The 1965 Inaugural Ball, a semi-formal event honoring the Association officers and cabinet, took place on No¬ vember 26, at the Scherwood Club. The dance was one of the most successful affairs in Association history. Between Student Body, Administration and Faculty STUDENT ASSOCIATION REPRESENTATIVES are - BOTTOM ROW: G. Kostoff, J.

Fused Language Club Combines Backgrounds Greetings of “Guten Tag,” “Bon jour” and “Buenos Dias” were the trademarks of the newly-instituted For¬ eign Language Club. The club, which combined the for¬ mer German, French and Spanish Clubs, obtained its sponsors from the various language divisions. Participat¬ ing teachers alternated in planning programs. Amid a multitude of books, magazines, newspapers and busy students, the MHS library helpers sought to keep order. Other tasks included checking out books, finding requested magazines and performing duties for librarians Mr. S. Elgas and Mr. C. Seal. Assistants, receiving .5 credits each semester, collected about $300 in fines on over-due materials. The library used this money for supplies and subscriptions to book series. The 1965 Community Chest Drive took five Morton students on a day-long tour of nearby charitable institu¬ tions. Representatives of 31 area schools participated in the trip to the Carmelite Home for Boys, Calumet Good Will, the YWCA and Brook’s House. After the tour the students heard speeches on the Boy Scouts, Catholic Family Service, Bethany Children’s Home and the Salvation Army. On November 17 the Morton delegates presented three informative assemblies about their trip to the Morton faculty and student body. They described the conditions of the various organizations. 46 Pupils Assist in Community Chest Drive, Library READING HER LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT Senior Kathy Argadine and other students make use of the library facilities. 47 Clubs of Today Further Science of Tomorrow Phy-Chem Club, successor to last year’s Chemistry and Physics clubs, made trips to two science centers. Spon¬ sored by Mrs. M. Petterson and Dr. M. El Naggar, the fused club toured Standard Oil laboratories in Whiting. These science minded members also visited Chicago’s Argonne National Laboratories, site of a huge atomic reactor. Several students worked on projects such as a computer and an oscilloscope, a device for measuring the frequency of sound waves. A car wash helped buy laboratory equipment for the science department. Morton’s amateur roller skaters displayed their abil¬ ities at the Biology Club skating party held at the Twilight Roller-Rink in Griffith. The twenty dollars obtained on this fund-raising venture helped finance transportation for club trips. In March Biology Club members visited Purdue University Extension where they toured the campus greenhouse and the biology laboratories of Dr. Wilson. In the IBM room, computer “baseball” and “slot machines” gave students a chance to test their playing skills. Members, under the supervision of Mr. R. Spry and Mr. R. Ernest, formed the first con¬ stitution since the beginning of the club. Members interested in exhibiting their scientific knowledge participated in the Science Open House. Out¬ standing exhibits merited recognition at the Hammond Science Fair held at the National Guard Armory.

This year the construction of an analog computer, used for figuring rocket pro¬ jectiles, squares, cube roots and trigonometric functions, challenged club members as one project. Club members and sponsor, Mr. R. Spry, journeyed to the Northwest Electronics Company in Chesterton, Indiana. From this company they obtained new and used electrical equip¬ ment for the laboratory. The club purchased a used con¬ sole containing an intercom, tape recorder and turntable. Composed primarily of advanced Zoology students and directed by club sponsor Mr. J. Rasmussen, the Zoology Club further represented Morton’s science de¬ partment. These scientists of tomorrow raised money with a hypnotic show performed by Mr. Rasmussen at the annual fall-festival. The bake sale at Calumet Na¬ tional Bank helped the club buy surgical scissors. ZOOLOGY CLUB MEMBERS are - BOTTOM ROW: M. Smolen, B. McAnally (pres.), T. Ruhs (v. pres.), P. Waters (sec.), M.

National Forensics League, designed to train tomor¬ row’s leaders, provides instruction in debate and solo speaking. To be eligible for NFL, students must earn speech points through participation in debating, extem¬ poraneous speaking and oral interpretation. Prominent national members include President Johnson, former President Eisenhower and Entertainer Art Linkletter. Morton’s NFL received its charter in 1957, with Mr. W. Winston Becker as the debate coach. Governor solo performances in poetic, dramatic and humorous read¬ ings have placed eleven MHS speakers in the 1966 speech sectionals and qualified the students for tournament competition. However, debate remains the MHS speech department’s strongest point. Morton debaters merited second and third place ratings at the northern Indiana tournament. Speech coach Mr. J. McNabney and his as¬ sistant, Mr. D. Hodson, guided the student orators. Oral Interpretation League and Debate, stepping stones to NFL, were open to students interested in speech.

Gov¬ ernors sent hundreds of cards overseas to brighten Chris¬ tmas for US soldiers fighting in Vietnam. During the Thanksgiving holidays the FNC presented nut cups to residents of the St. Anne’s Home. Visits to the Loyola School of Nursing and St. Luke’s Presbyterian Hospital produced informative facts about nursing careers. Cinema Club, guided by Mr. A. Gibson, provided valu¬ able services to MHS. Club members showed films and slides in classrooms, helped make plastic transparancies and kept projectors and other machines in order. Members of Morton’s Future Teachers of America served as hostesses for the 1965 National Education Week. Guided by sponsors Mrs. N. Kelly, and Miss L. Williamson, club members further served as teachers’ assistants in the elementary building. TAC, a summer program designed to aid retarded children, recruited volunteers from the Morton FTA chapter. Morton’s FSA, part of the Lake Shore Chapter of Future Secretaries of America, participated in seminars and a bake sale. Club members, sponsored by Miss K. Wolfe, met monthly at various participating schools to hear speeches and plan activities. Students Benefit Needy Through Club Projects Pictures of packed hallways, swirling dancers and col¬ orful drama comprised the 1965-66 agenda for Photo Club members. The club, sponsored by Mr. J. Rasmus¬ sen, photographed events for school publications, Top Hat division pages and advertising pictures. Club earn¬ ings purchased new photo equipment. Contributing to Morton’s annual homecoming, the High-Y provides the black Top Hat platform upon which the queen is traditionally crowned. The male service club, sponsored by Mr. E. Musselman, also collected canned goods and money to provide Thanksgiving baskets for needy families. Another project included a car wash. Youngsters at the Fort Wayne Children’s Home re¬ ceived handmade stuffed animals at Christmas from the MHS Y-Teens, a girls’ service organization. Club mem¬ bers, guided by sponsors, Mrs. L. Bonebrake and Mrs. T. Ordyna, also provided the children with scrapbooks. The Y-Teens earned money with potato chip sales. Mr. A.

Morton’s orchestra, led by Mr. L. Gregory, practiced daily to achieve finesse and develop skill. Rehearsals and private lessons offered members opportunities to improve their techniques, which were tested at local contests. Advanced members merited awards with solos. The orchestra received high ratings in the district contest. For the past two years it has earned a superior rating of class AA from the Northern Indiana School Band, Or¬ chestra and Vocal Association. Presenting concerts en¬ abled the orchestra members to gain necessary experience in different fields. This instrumental group provided in¬ termission entertainment at the school plays. Another division of the Music department is Boys’ Chorus, directed by Mr. L. Patterson. This elective sing¬ ing group performed in the Thanksgiving assembly and the Spring Concert. Earning money for blazers and Con¬ cert Choir robes, Boys’ Chorus members participated in a candy sale. Brothers Bob and John Chorba won a portable television set for the highest sales. Music in Perspective Club, designed to acquaint stu¬ dents with different types of musical forms, enjoyed studying modem jazz and music from foreign countries. Club sponsors, Mr. J. Kolar and Mr. L.

Providing entertainment for MHS and the community, sixty-five students participated in Morton Band activities. Their 1965-66 schedule included summer Mardi Gras festivities at Chicago’s Riverview and half-time presenta¬ tions at home football games. In December the band re¬ ceived an award for its performance in the first annual Hammond Christmas parade. A Christmas concert, held in the school auditorium, climaxed the holiday season. Directed by Mr. J. Melton, the band competed in state contests where members earned individual and group a- wards. One form of competition, sight-reading, measured contestants skill in playing unfamiliar pieces of music. Purchasing new uniforms was a major goal of the band. A candy sale and ticket returns from the Marine Band Concert at the Civic Center strengthened the uniform fund. The band will strive to meet its goal of $5000 in order to display the uniforms during the ’66 season. Morton’s Dance Band played at the Dress Right, In¬ augural and State of the Union assemblies and were a familiar sight at MHS. They also entertained PTA mem¬ bers at the meetings. This small group of thirteen musi¬ cians earned a second place rating in the district contest. Johnson, M. Balog, J. Tarpley, C. Bujwit, J. Ralph, D. McCullough, L White.

The group sang a Christmas Concert, a PTA sponsored program presented free to the public. Their other main activities included the Thanks¬ giving and Easter assemblies and the annual spring vo¬ cal concert. Students earned points by participating in co ncerts, assemblies, class work and studies. At the Senior Awards Assembly all graduating choir members received awards according to the points earned. Two vocal ensembles, the Carillons and Male Quartet, participated in school concerts and assemblies. They also entered the Northern Indiana School Band, Or¬ chestra and Vocal Association Contest held at Lew Wallace High School in Gary, Indiana. Membership for Swing 16, an extra-curricular vocal ensemble, was based on auditions open to Concert Choir members only. Swing 16 members practiced their reper¬ toire after school one night every week. In December the group sang for the Hessville Junior Women’s Club to honor the club’s anniversary. This group and the others previously mentioned are under the direction of Mr. L. Patterson, a new teacher at Morton this year. The entire vocal department participated in the annual candy sale. Prizes awarded included a portable tele¬ vision, watches, radios and various other items. Records kept of individual sales determined the prize winners. 62 m t ipt % « f t % t i-% (f up • • J j J.

Lettermen and Boosters Display Governor Spirit To be eligible for membership in M-Club, a boy must earn at least one varsity letter from any sport and must be approved by Mr. R. Fraser, the sponsor. The Letter- men organized the “Has-Been Will-Be” game, an annual basketball challenge between juniors and seniors. The money raised from the game enabled the members to continue the traditional display of football, baseball and track team pictures. The club also financed the individ¬ ual pictures of All-Staters Darrel Chaney, Larry Bogner and Jim Gasvoda. To boost spirit, M-Club members formed a cheer block at the home basketball games. The Booster Club supported school functions by en¬ couraging spirit. These boosters rushed onto the field forming two red-grey lines at the Hammond High and Calumet High football games. The undefeated team charged between these lines to break through a victory hoop. On November 1, 1965, at five o’clock, NBC broad¬ casted this display of school spirit. Calumet faced the Governors as their final opposition in becoming State Champions. “We’re Proud of Our Team,” an oilcloth sign painted by underclass club mem¬ bers, was pictured in the Hammond Times. As the game ended with a victorious score of 41-0, the fans ran onto the field to congratulate the team. By selling booster tags and operating concession stands at home football games, the club raised money for sports equipment in the athletic department. 65 LIEUTENANT MONITORS who daily check attendance of all monitor posts ore - BOTTOM ROW: L. Schwartz, L. Hilty. SECOND ROW: C. Szafarczyk, D. Micha el. TOP ROW: D. Colbert, K. Bocken. Students Sell Supplies, Send Accused to Court Although perfect peace seemed unattainable in Mor¬ ton’s halls, monitors labored daily to keep order and dis¬ courage unauthorized visitors. These student guards, under the direction of a lieutenant monitor, must main¬ tain a 2.5 average. The Student Association revised the iO iitor system this y ' e.ar, changing the number of mon- Vrs ea ' ch hour from hiine to six. Reorganization was achieved by stationing three students on the first floor, two on the second and one on the third instead of assign¬ ing three per floor. Anyone in the halls without a pass received a court notice and was sentenced in the stu¬ dent court. Violators with set lockers paid fines in the bookstore instead of going to court. Students visiting the nurse’s office first registered with a nurse’s helper. These volunteers gained experience in secretarial work and minor first-aid under the direction of Miss J. Moylan, the new school nurse. The hub of Morton activity — the main office — was manned by a staff of secretaries and student helpers. The student assistants collected daily attendance slips, distributed mail, filed and ran errands. Office helpers received .5 credit each semester working under the direction of Mrs. I. Payne and staff. Students with subject difficulties obtained help from the Tutors’ Club. Tutors, under the direction of Miss W. Clair, charged a fee of 50 cents for their services. 66 Cooperative Assistants Help Faculty Members NURSE ' S HELPERS ore - STANDING: M. Boyle, K. Fulte, J. Clauson, W. Ingram. SITTING: N. Baasse.

Sheaks (advertising manager) brought yearbook sales up to 800 with the help of Mrs. J. Hetterscheidt (business advisor). Threatened by looming deadlines, the Top Hat staff hastened through a jungle of unfinished copy and blurred pictures. Perservence and long hours of work resulted in the 1966 book of memories. Additional hours outside school enabled staff members to meet their deadlines. In charge of yearbook production the editor-in-chief directed the staff, set deadlines and planned the division pages. Tasks of the assistant editor included designing the opening section and checking headline counts, copy and captions. Section editors headed the various divi¬ sions — academics, clubs, sports, senior class, underclass, faculty, and index. These staff members wrote copy, arranged layouts and selected pictures for their individual sections. In addition to running errands, edge editors helped with captions and headlines. The copy editor read and modified pieces of writing in the first stages of com¬ pletion. Top Hat advisor Mrs. H. Stock served as the final authority on layouts and general make-up of the yearbook, making certain that all section editors followed journalistic yearbook rules. Assisted by Mr. J. Rasmussen, the Photo Club photog¬ raphers took ad and division page pictures. The ad¬ vertising manager supervised the selling of ads and planned layouts for the section. Mrs. J. Hetterscheidt and the Top Hat business manager promoted the year¬ book sales. Publicity ranged from signs to an assembly. With student help Top Hat sales reached 800 copies.

Hallum (editor) checks sales progress of S. Lomax (bus. manager) and S. Powers (ad. manager). Planning layouts, writing features and headlines and selling ads enabled the Mortonite staff to publish the bi-weekly newspaper. Adviser Mrs. H. Stock worked with the editor and assistant editor to coordinate the organiz¬ ation of the other members of the staff. The 21 reporters covered beats throughout the school and wrote assigned articles. Checking copy, assigning stories and correcting headlines comprised only a few of the duties of the editor-in-chief. Responsibilities of the assistant editor included enforcing deadlines and proofreading stories. Each page editor planned the makeup of his page, di¬ rected the writing of headlines and proofread the copy. Selling ads to local merchants, the advertising manager helped meet publishing expenses. The business manager handled Mortonite circulation to the community and other schools. MHS press bureau representatives chose the best articles for printing in the Hammond Times. Students interested in becoming staff members com¬ pleted a one-semester journalism course. After obtaining experience as reporters, these journalists applied for positions. Having been chosen by the 1965 editorial staff, the new page editors began their work in the fall.

SPORTS Athletic programs provide an extension of physical educa¬ tion classes and, thus, an opportunity to specialize in an area which they enjoy. Pleasure, however, does not constitute the only benefit of this activity. Through sports our bodies can develop physically and our minds enrich mentally. Because of these effects on our present and future lives, sports may be classified as a step in the “Stairway to the Morrow.” Downfield Blocking Helps in Making Undefeated Overpowering all opponents, the Governors soared to an undefeated, untied season under the leadership of the “1965 Coach of the Year,” Hammond Morton’s Head Coach Maurey Zlotnik. He was honored with this title by the Indiana Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association. Assisted by Coaches Luketic and Gollner, Coach Zlotnik developed a unit unmatched by its foes. Down- field blocking, their greatest asset, helped them romp to the state championship. The coaching staff taught the boys football procedure, and the squad performed as a unit to use this knowledge. These coaches instilled a mystic spirit spoken of frequently in the local newspapers. Taking over during the short leave of absence of Coach Zlotnik, Morton’s coaching staff proved itself capable against the Rough Riders of Roosevelt. Coach Zlotnik was back at the reins for the next game, guiding the team to another victory. State recognition and myth¬ ical championship came from work and determination. Students, teachers and fans showed their pride by hon¬ oring the team, as well as the coaches, at a special ban¬ quet following the close of the season. At this banquet the team were presented with their “state champ” blazers in honor of their 10-0 record.

Romping to the mythical string of 10 consecutive conquests. COACH Of THE YEAR, Morton ' s M. Zlotnik, gives last minute instructions before the Calumet game, the final game of the season. Compiling an outstanding 10-0 record, the 1965 Mor¬ ton gridmen achieved the ultimate goal in high school football circles, the state crown. Maurey’s Marauders allowed the opposition 40 points in 10 games, while the Governors obtained 293 points in the same length of time. Victory over Mich igan City, with a score of 20-7, gave the Governor team momentum. Morton’s second conquest came with the defeat of Clark. Morton handed Clark its worst defeat in history, 61-0. The Clark score brought the varsity gridmen city-wide attention. Morton’s third foe was undefeated Tech, seventh-ranked in the state. This game revealed the capabilities of the team’s offen¬ sive techniques. In the duel they posed long drives fol¬ lowed by touchdowns and P.A.T.s. Maurey’s Marauders defeated Tech in a closely fought 14-6 game. The Governor’s homecoming game was against the East Chicago Roosevelt team. Loser of only one chal¬ lenge, the Rough Riders met their second defeat, pushing the Morton gridmen closer to the state championship. The title game of this season was the duel with first- ranked South Bend Riley. The defense held the Wildcats to their lowest score of the season. The Governors de¬ feated the Riley Wildcats 13-7 and moved the football spotlight from South Bend to Hammond as Morton cap¬ tured the State Championship. Romping over Calumet, the Governors ended a “perfect” season, 41-0. 76 MAKING A JARRING TACKLE, Frank Hendron and Darrel Chaney tumble an East Chicago Roosevelt ball carrier.

Soph. 14 13 Hammond High 0 7 Gavit 0 7 Despite a speedy backfield and a stubborn defense, Morton’s B-team failed to attain a .500 season. Under the coaching of Mr. R. Gollner, the team closed their 1965 football season with a 3-4-1 record. MHS defenses showed their strength by holding the opponents to less than 13 points in the majority of their games. The gridmen opened the season against the Mustangs, one of the roughest teams the Governor gridmen faced. The Governors put up a fight, but the Mustangs scored two touchdowns in a 13-0 victory. The second game of the season, the first win for the Governors, was against longtime Hammond opponent, Clark. The Governor B-team defeated the Pioneers, 7-0. Third game and second loss for the B-teamers was the worst defeat of the year. Their opponents, the Tech Tigers, beat them with a score of 33-0. East Chicago Washington and Morton gridmen battled in the Governors’ fourth game of the season to a 0-0 draw. This was a contest between two matched foes. Gavit and Hammond High, the Governors’ final op¬ ponents, proved to be rough opposition for Morton’s B- teamers. Although the B-team defense made a stand, Gavit squeaked by 7-0. The gridmen finished their sea¬ son by beating traditional rivals, Hammond High, 7-0. 78 TURNING ON HIS SPEED and attempting to elude the defense is back Mike Mazur (52). Mike did much of the ball carrying during the season. Frosh Reveal Promise, Good Future Material Coached by Mr. J. Georgas, the 1965 Governor frosh football team attained the Hammond City Champion¬ ship with a 7-1 record. A balanced attack of running and passing allowed the team to roll over opponents. Prac¬ ticing long hours, the frosh backs formed a successful running attack. The possession of many well-qualified players was also a factor which made the team a success. In the Tech duel, the Governors used an effective de¬ fense to blank the Tigers, 14-0. The Tech game clinched the Hammond City Championship for the Governor freshmen. They combined sportsmanship and teamwork to defeat the Tigers and win this championship. FROSH FOOTBALL Won 6 Lost 1 Opponent Clark Gavit Noll E.C. Roosevelt E.C.

At mid-season the record stood at four wins and seven losses, including a win from Gavit and a loss from Ham¬ mond High in the Holiday Tournament. The twelfth game of the year revealed an improved basketball team as the cagers began their winning stretch by defeating the Gavit Gladiators, 70-60. The roundballers’ next op¬ ponent was the Highland Trojans. Highland was the victor of last year’s game, 57-52; however, this year Mor¬ ton turned the tables winning with a score of 74-57. The Morton streak continued with the MHS cagers defeating Clark, Chicago Dunbar and Gary Emerson in succession. The Governor string was then five games, and they seemed to be shooting toward success. Finishing the sixth of their string of victories, the Governors played the Hobart Brikkies. The game saw Morton’s roundballers attain the highest score of the year, as Hobart fell, 96-64. This high score was a fitting climax to Morton’s many victories. The annual Hammond High-Morton classic closed the 1966 season. In a fierce battle the Governors lost to the Wildcats in a close 71-68 game. This game was an in¬ troduction to what would happen in the sectional play. The Morton cagers ended the year in possession of a record of 12 victories and 8 losses. VARSITY BASKETBALL PLAYERS are - BOTTOM ROW. B. Skaggs, Coach L. Robertson, Coach J. DePeugh, B. Harvey, J.

Beginning the season with a loss against Bishop Noll Institute with a score of 47-40, this year’s team seemed to be a “hard luck” team. They bounced back, however, in the second game, and defeated Hammond Tech with a score of 44-42 in a close duel. The B-teamers played this .500 basketball for the first half of the season. They ended Christmas Tourney play with a 1-1 record. This brought their record to 3 wins against 5 losses to begin the new year. Playing well after the vacation, the B-team cagers came back with two victories against Griffith and Lew Wallace. They fell back to .500 play again, however, and ended the season with a record of 8 wins and 5 losses. The frosh team completed the year with an 8-5 record in their attempt to gain a position on next year’s B-team. Victories came by such scores as 50-24 over Bishop Noll, 50-40 over Gavit, 41-21 over East Chicago Washington, and 44-37 over Tech. The frosh ended their season with a victory over East Chicago Roosevelt, 30-28. REACHING for the ball as it whizzes toward Hammond High are J. Keil- man and C. Neff.

In the regular season Governors defeated Highland 74-56. At the close of the first quarter the ' score stood at 16-16. The Trojans played for a victory. The Governors ended the half with a six point margin, 32-26. Morton cagers led all the way for a 71-61 victory. Darrel Chaney led as high scorer for the game with 18 points, followed by Jim Gasvoda with a total of 16 points. In the afternoon semi-finals, the Morton cagers faced an avenging Tech team. The Tigers lost the regular sea¬ son game to the Governors by one point with a score of 61-60. At the sectionals the Governors squeaked by with another one-point victory over Tech with the score 64-63. High point honors went to Darrel Chaney with 22 points, followed closely by Dennis Berard with 19. That night in the Hammond Sectional finals against Hammond High, the Governors, weary from their after¬ noon game, lost to the Wildcats, 75-66. Three cagers scored in double figures — Phil Svabik with 17 points, Frank Tokoly with 14 points and Darrel Chaney with 12. EXCITEMENT prevailed during Morton ' s 60-59 victory over the Tech Tigers.

Participating in a preliminary tryout is Junior Jock Keilman, who was selected as the starting catcher for MHS. Under the watchful eye of Coach Georgas, the 1965 Varsity baseball team finished the campaign with a total of fourteen victories against three defeats. The opening game of the season ended with a 3-0 vic¬ tory over the Crown Point Bulldogs. The baseballers then followed with a string of four successive conquests over Gary Wirt, E.C. Washington, E.C. Roosevelt, and Ham¬ mond Tech. In the Governors’ sixth start, they met their first defeat at the hands of the T. F. Rebels. Proving themselves to be a hitting team, the diamond crew trounched the Gary Wirt Panthers. The ballmen then conquered seven out of eight of their last opponents. The team ended the year with a 3-0 shutout over Clark. The Most Valuable Player of the ’65 campaign was Larry Chaney who played the first base position. Having the most pitching victories was Don Ward, captain of the team. Morton’s ballmen again captured the Ham¬ mond City Championship. Against local baseball teams, MHS posted a 12-1 mark, only losing to the E.C. Wash¬ ington Senators, 0-1. The Governors white-washed their opponents three times during the year, while being blanked only once. Offensively Morton tallied 102 runs. Defensively they limited their foes to less than fifty runs. The Governors had a switch hitter, Darrel Chaney, who had the most base hits for the ballcrew. The bailers scored 16 runs in one game against Gary Wirt. This score was their seasonal high. Throughout the bailers history thy have had only one year in which they have lost more games than they have won. The 1966 ball squad will enter into the Northwest Conference for the first time. Being a member of the conference now qualifies Morton for definite state recognition. CHIPPING OUT OF TROUBLE while practicing for the arrival of the 1966 spring season is Senior letterman D. Meding.

Along with working out on the trampoline, GAA members also engaged in softball, basketball, tennis and soccer. Members of the organization met ninth hour every Tuesday and Thursday in the gym where they learned game rules and developed skills of sports. For their cooperation and enthusiasm, members were awarded points. Under this system, members received ten points for each organized activity and five for every unorganized activity such as ice skating, swimming and archery. A red felt “M” or numerals were awarded for 150 points, a chenille letter for 250 points and an en¬ graved plaque for 350 or more points. Some Morton girls also participated in twirling. The Governor twirling squad performed routines at football and basketball half-times. Under the supervision of Mrs. J. Melton, MHS twirlers entered state and local com¬ petition. Hard work and determination paid off for the members of the twirling squad. For their efforts, the girls won first place honors in both the NISBOVA and In¬ dianapolis state twirling contests.

While Sportsmen Participate in Athletic Programs PEOPLE In order to get along in the world, we must learn to get along with people. Our success may depend on the way we harmonize with the people we will meet in future jobs, at college and during social ventures. In high school we deal with all types of people; thus, it becomes the basis for our social learning. The art of compatibility our Governors learn comprises a step in the “Stairway to the Morrow.” LINDA LOU AKER Booster Club 2; Concert Choir 4; GAA | ; Girls ' Choir 1-3; Girls ' Chorus 1; Red Cross 2.

The class of 1966 constructed the homecoming float, “Bury Em, selected the homecoming court and attended Mor¬ ton s athletic events. The annual Washington D.C. - New York trip provided a break from school routine for some students, while broadening their education and experiences. The Inaugural Ball, “At the End of the Rainbow”; the winter dance, “Cupid’s Concerto”; and the Junior-Senior Prom, “While Hearts Are Young” created additional social events for the students. Seniors, characterized by their senior cords of bur¬ gundy and cream, participated in assemblies and Student Association affairs. Graduates discussed future job pro¬ spects and further technical education or prepared for college by taking entrance examinations. Class sponsors, Miss J. Martine and Mr. W. Ruff, worked with the sen¬ ior executive board to arrange senior activities. In anticipation of commencement, seniors attended the annual senior banquet and Baccalaureate.

The three officers, elected at the beginning of the first school semester, took their positions to lead fellow classmates through the junior year. Sponsors of the class of 1967, Mrs. L. Bonebrake and Mr. D. Woolls, offered suggestions for extra-curric¬ ular activities. Guided by these sponsors, the Junior Executive Board, consisting of two members from each homeroom, served as the basis of supervision for all activities. The board chose the theme “Guvnors Zoom to Victory,” for the traditional homecoming float. With the rest of the class, the board developed their ideas into a white space rocket sailing over a gold goal post. The board members also combined cooperation and work to arrange a memorable Junior-Senior prom, “While Hearts Are Young,” and after-prom party. Held at the Dorchester Club, both featured music of Ronnie Rodgers and his orchestra. Juniors, as well as other students, had the opportunity to participate in the October Preliminary Aptitude Test and the February National Merit Scholarship Test, which aided in the preparation for college. WORKING to paint a sign displaying the theme of the junior float are — V. Catania, J. Bardozci, J. Rospond, J. Matrinetz, J. Martin. 124 Club-Sponsored Events, Attending Athletic Games Executive Board Members Arrange Junior-Senior 126 Constructing Homecoming Float Unites Juniors 128 JANET BLACKMAN, sophomore president, follows parliamentary pro- ceedures to conduct all official meetings.

Entering their second year of high school, the class of 1968 gradually became an active part of the com¬ position of the secondary school at Morton. Sophomores participated in after-school clubs by planning bake sales, roller skating parties, and dances. Aiding the Student Association, they donated their time and services at the Inaugural Ball by checking coats and serving refreshments. Class sponsors, Mrs. J. Hetter- scheidt and Mr. R. Moorehead, urged participation in extra-curricular activities. Sophomores elected officers and representatives for the Sophomore Executive Board to represent them in all matters concerning the advance¬ ment of the school government. The Executive Board planned methods of raising money which is to be used for the prom, for the treasury. Two senators were elected to attend Student Association meetings.

Their first year in high school began with the election of the class officers and two senators. Each homeroom also chose a representative to attend the Association meetings. These elections commenced the first step toward representation and participation in student gov¬ ernment. As freshmen they were persent at daily physical education classes and study halls. They attended assem¬ blies, an impossible procedure last year because of crowded conditions with the rest of the student body. Morton’s freshmen are considered high school students, and they participated in the high school curriculum and outside activities. They planned their high school pro¬ gram for either academic, general or business courses to prepare for future employment or education. with Expectations of Academic, Business Progress 135 Frosh Partake in First Election of Student Officers, CAUGHT in the rush between classes.

Winston Becker performed a variety of duties each day. He spent time giving thought and consider¬ ation to school activities before they were approved. Authorizing funds for class projects and club affairs as well as the hiring of teachers were also among his chief responsibilities. In addition to these regular duties, Mr. Becker acquired the task of helping with the construc¬ tion plans of the new Morton High School. Students concerned with problems of tardiness, grades and class hours confronted Mr. William Volk, assistant principal. As disciplinarian, he assessed penalities for gum-chewing, truancy and misconduct in classes. These two administrative heads, Mr. Becker and Mr. Volk, combined their efforts to guide the student body through another profitable school year. The Hammond School Board controled the business aspects of the school system. The superintendent of the Hammond Schools, Dr. Joseph Hendrick, announced early in the school year that his resignation would take effect in June of 1966. The board is elected on a non¬ partisan basis and meets bi-weekly to decide new poli¬ cies. It appropriates money for the numerous expendi¬ tures which the school city must meet. Bills concerning the construction of the new Morton must meet the ap¬ proval of the School Board. HAMMOND SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS are — SEATED: Mrs. T.

That ' s because we try always to fill higher, more responsible jobs from the ranks of our employees. And the records show—the better the em¬ ployee ' s education, the better he is at his job—and the better he does for himself. Inland employees continue to gain knowledge and ex¬ perience in special trades through formal apprenticeship programs offered in the following trades—Machinist, Patternmaking, Boilermaking, Welding, Shop Electrician, Wireman, Mason and Pipefitter. Many concentrate on certain phases of steelmaking by working in production while others work in laboratories helping to assure quality or developing new and better products for our customers. How about you? Inland Steel is steadily expanding. More and more opportunities will be open to you as our growth continues. Are you ready?
