The two arrows represent the influences of the past and future on Morton Governors and their school. rm Financed by the hammono morton school [ ■ BUILDING CORPORATION FREEDOM is a hollow-sounding word unless it is backed by equality and understanding. FORMING AN ARCH, naked steel beams await a crust of mortar and bricks to compose the shell of the structure. Construction draws curious governors Confronted with 600 extra students, Morton’s walls bulged and facilities grew limited. However, the ad¬ ministration found it helpful to split lunch hours, post¬ pone certain classes, and stagger schedules. Crowded halls and classrooms and over-populated lock¬ ers forced the School Board to decide on a new school. Technical executives chose the corner of 169th Street and Grand Avenue as the site. After studying numerous blueprints and debating contractors’ bids, School Board members began final plans, which included windowless classrooms, a 4,000 seat athletic stadium, and an indoor swimming pool. Obviously an object of curiosity, the new school at¬ tracted many visitors, both young and old. On week¬ ends students drove past the new school in order to observe the rapidly progressing construction. Viewing the new school with mixed emotions, under¬ classmen began counting the blocks and measuring the distance between their homes and the new school. The prospect of home games on the Governors own football field and basketball court overshadowed the regret of leaving the “old” Morton, home of the Governors. ANTICIPATING QUITTING TIME, a construction worker strives to meet the September, 1967, completion deadline set for the new Morton Senior High School. IMMOBILE until human hands employ them, wooden planks lie tran¬ quilly in the shade waiting for the workers ' early- morning arrival. CONCERNED not only with education, Morton High School also endeavors to broaden the interests of students and helps them to become more individualistic in their thinking. PONDERING OVER his English Literature assignment, senior Phil Skager analyzes the writings of several prominent Elizabethan authors. WHILING AWAY unassigned periods, students enjoy the freedom and responsibility they experience in the Association Room. Away from classroom restraints. Hazel Witte, Dave Mustoe, and Mike Guiden openly and candidly discuss issues of interest to them while Diane Bjorklund catches up on Association minutes. BRIGHT BALLS and shiny tinsel greet Governors as they enter school during the Christmas season. Diane Bjorklund and Kathy Hmurovich put the final touches on the Student Association Christmas tree. 6 Studies, play, relaxation fill leisure time PERFORMING before the student body in the Christmas assembly, senior Jim Gerovac sings a ballad which he composed especially for the occasion. AFTER COMPLETING the duties of a monitor, senior Fred Shinkle finds time to catch up on studying. COLD WATER gives a lift to members of the Top Hat and Mortonite football teams. After half-time refreshment the Mortonite gir|s went on to win the ball game, 24-0. FASHION CONSCIOUS sophomores Kathy Mosca and Chris Czlonka prepare to leave school after a club meeting. PENNY LOAFERS and black socks, characteristic footwear of male Governors, combined with dark slacks to form the collegiate look. New trends in music, fashion evident This was the year of wide paisley ties and over-the- knee socks, of flowered bathing suits and short skirts, of hip-hugger slacks and print jeans. Long hair for both sexes was in full swing, and one was labeled “Joe College” if one wore loafers and cuffed slacks. New trends appeared in more than just fashion. Change also marked teen-age music. The Beatles still ranked high in popularity, but more and more teens demanded Bob Dylan and Peter, Paul, and Mary. Not only music and fashion were caught up in the new generation, but a new way of thinking emerged. Companies advertised to try their product and “come alive.” Young people, subject to the draft, grew con¬ cerned with the Viet Nam situation. Patriotic songs, such as “Day of Decision,” made the popularity ratings. The tempo had changed; teens were alive and swinging. COLOR-COORDINATED OUTFITS and knee-socks were paired with loafers to make up feminine fa shion. Athletes gain national, state, local fame SECOND IN THE REGIONALS, junior Ron Meseberg earned the individual title of Sectional Wrestling Champion. ACTIVE AND VERSATILE, quarterback Ron Volbrecht secured a spot on the state dream team. Always backing the Governors, yet individually stand¬ ing out, Steve Vadas, Ron Volbrecht, and Ron Meseberg each earned his place in Morton’s hall of fame. After being placed on the Tri-City All-Star squad, senior Steve Vadas was nominated for all-state recogni¬ tion by a Rloomington newspaper. However, his greatest accomplishment was gaining a spot on PARADE’S na¬ tional all-star squad. All-American honors are only award¬ ed to the best prep football players in the United States. The Tri-City team also claimed Ron Volbrecht as a member. In addition, the senior quarterback received honorable mention On the state “dream team.” Junior Ron Meseberg was the only Governor wrestler to win the individual title of Sectional Champion, losing only to an all-state football quarterback in the Regionals. He compiled a record of 14 wins and one loss. M 6 AFTER LETTERING IN FOOTBALL for three consecutive years, center Steve Vadas gained the title of All-American. COMMUNITY CHEST representatives whose duty is to persuade students to donate are Terry Rhodes, Vicki Wil¬ liams, Kathy Cergizan, Linda Nichols, and Mike Guiden. PLEASED WITH RESULTS of the Teens ' March of Dimes, Co-chairmen Cynthia Arvay and Terry Rhodes admire volunteers ' collections. THOUGHTFULLY GAZING across the front yard of the school, senior Barbara Burton contemplates her responsi¬ bilities as Morton ' s D.A.R. award winner. Students ' endeavors NATIONAL MERIT SEMIFINALISTS are seniors Dennis Dawson, Pam Scott, Gary Austin, and Warren Griggs. merit honors for selves, families, school Enthusiasm and eagerness were two attributes that helped several Morton students to excell in various fields and to receive recognition for their achievements. Qualities of leadership, citizenship, scholarship, and service characterized the D.A.R. award recipient. Every teacher voted for the senior girl whom he believed most worthy of this honor. She then competed with girls throughout Lake County by taking a test in government. Selected on the basis of their interest in social studies, delegates to Hoosier Girls’ State and Boys’ State spent one week at Indiana University last summer. There, with representatives from high schools throughout the state, students actively participated in model govern¬ ments. State, county, and local administrations were examined. After mock elections young politicians held offices such as mayor, governor, and party chairmen. The National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, held during the junior year, helps students to learn their strengths and weaknesses in scholastic achievement. For those who score in the top two percent of this test, it also serves as a start toward a college scholarship. Four Morton seniors were semi-finalists in the National Merit program. Further testing and evidence of financial need determined finalists and scholarship recipients. Touring establishments supported by the United Com¬ munity Chest gave five Morton seniors a deeper insight into the needs of others. Selected through the Student Association, these students reported their experiences to the student body and launched the annual fund drive. Assigning territories to student volunteers and organ¬ izing collections were the main concerns of Morton March of Dimes co-chairmen, chosen by the Association. STOPPING BETWEEN CLASSES, Morton ' s Hoosier Boys ' State delegates Jim Rospond, Jerry Finley, Ron Volbrecht, and Den¬ nis Dawson discuss their experiences there. HOOSIER GIRLS ' STATE delegates Barb Burton, Sue Smaron, courtyard. A week at Indiana University helped the girls to and Hazel Witte take refuge from a hectic life in Morton ' s broaden their understanding of state and local governments. rT ANXIOUSLY AWAITING her train, senior Linda Williams looks up from a list of scheduled activities to be disappointed by an oncoming freight train. Upperclassmen AWE-INSPIRING, the famed statue of President Lincoln reminds its visitors of Civil War days. PERCHED HIGH above every¬ thing around it, the weather- vane remains a famous part of Washington ' s home. Mount Vernon showed the visitors a type of historical study new to many of them. receive welcome break on annual trip Abandoning all thoughts of homework assignments, impending examinations, and class lectures, 94 Morton juniors and seniors travelled to Washington, D.C., and New York City, late in October, with upperclass students from the other four Hammond high schools. The anxious travellers boarded the train Tuesday evening for an all-night journey to the Nation’s capital. Allowed one piece of luggage, the students arrived with paper sacks, large carry-alls, overnight cases, and other supplementary containers. After a long night on the train, they stepped once more on unmoving ground, only to discover that they must carry their luggage three blocks to waiting buses. Planned tours in Washington included the Wax Muse¬ um, the Archives, the Capitol, and the Library of Con¬ gress. During their free time students shopped and visited the Smithsonian Institution, the Washington Monument, and the Post Office Department. Tours of Chinatown and Greenwich Village gave the young tourists greater insight into a large city’s socio¬ logical problems. New York also offered the bright lights of Broadway and Times Square and the quiet peace- fullness of St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Central Park. I IHtflllH l IimiiHlUili i l f i ii i tlttm CONSTRUCTION OF A MEMORIAL to the late President Kennedy had already begun when the students visited Ar¬ lington Cemetery. The flame which Mrs. Kennedy placed on his grave burns in constant memory of him. SHINING ALABASTER pillars be¬ fore the White House add to the majesty of the President ' s home. Tourists admire the building and the grounds, particularly the fountain. 13 Election returns climax busy campaign ELECTIONS OVER, John Webster begins the task of removing campaign posters from the halls. DISPLAYING SUPPORT of her favorties for sophomore of¬ ficers, Theresa Tokoly is help¬ ed by Gerry Rospond. PERSUADING CLASSMATES to vote for him is a campaigner ' s big step toward election. Frank Lambert enumerates his assets to Jane Hluska. 14 GLIDING SOFTLY across the floor, couples waltz to the music of Len Warning and his Orchestra. MOUNTING THE STAGE, President Chester Bailor prepares to accept the duties and responsibilities that await him. Assembly, ball recognize new officers HOMEMADE COOKIES added to the enjoyment of the Inaugu¬ ral Ball. Mary Russell offers refreshments to Chester Bailor. Tiny buttons and huge posters marked student cam¬ paigns for various positions of leadership. Conducted in early spring, elections for class and Student Asso¬ ciation officers aroused student participation in school affairs. Association vice-president oversaw all student elections. Finalists, after primary elections, spoke to the entire student body giving their qualifications and expectations for Morton High School. Solemn promises to fulfill the duties of their jobs were offered by newly-elected officers at the Inaugural Assembly in November. Mr. W. W . Becker, principal, bestowed the office of Student Association president upon Chester Bailor, who swore in the cabinet. Every student present joined his representatives and senators in taking the Student Association pledge. “Memories are made of this,” the theme of the annual Inaugural Ball, saw a record number of couples danc¬ ing to the music of Len Warning and his Orchestra. For the first time in Student Association history, the semi-formal affair, honoring newly-initiated officers, was a “turn-about” dance. Rather than losing money or just “breaking even,” this year’s ball earned a profit. 15 Queen reigns at homecoming game REIGNING AS QUEEN at the 1966 Homecoming game was Kathy Cergizan, elected from five candidates by the student body . 16 Screams of ecstasy and sobs of joy echoed throughout the stadium as Student Association President Chester Bailor announced the name of Morton’s 1966-67 Home¬ coming Queen. From the five senior girls composing the Homecoming Court, the student body elected Kathy Cer- gizan to represent them. The newly-crowned queen and her court reigned with their escorts over the second half of the football game against Hammond Tech. Weeks of preparation went into the success of Home¬ coming festivities. Floats, prepared by the senior and junior classes, led the parade of queen candidates and boosters to the Hammond High football field. “We’ve Got a Whale of a Team,” the theme of the senior float, was depicted by a towering blue crepe-paper whale. A huge rolling pin smashing a Tech Tiger portrayed the theme of the junior float—“Flatten’ ’Em.” To acquaint the students with the court, elected by the senior class, an assembly was held the day of queen elections. Each of the candidates was asked a question similar to those asked of the “Miss America” finalists. The girls’ answers to these questions helped students select the one who they believed showed the greatest school spirit and most pleasing personality. MISS ARDIS KAUFMAN school spirit, juniors Linda Josway, Lu Ann Schwandt, and Gayle Herochik make final adjustments on their float a few minutes be¬ fore parade time. large part of homecoming preparation LOYAL GOVERNORS helped push the team on to a victory over Hammond Tech at the Homecoming football game.

ADDRESSING the student body in a press confer¬ ence, President Johnson (Hazel Witte) tells of the kidnapped Be and Trung while his wife Lady Bird (Pam Scott) looks on. aid Vietnamese children Be and Trung Staged newscasts and weather reports, a Presidential press conference, and a take-off from a popular tele¬ vision program were parts of the Government Club as¬ sembly held to collect money for the club’s Vietnamese foster children. Nguyen Thi Be and Nguyen Thi Trung were adopted three years ago and are supported solely by Governors. Following the two skits, planned by club members, enthusiastic students ran through the audi¬ torium asking fellow-Governors for donations. “Cupid’s Concerto, 1967,” held annually for the two children’s support, this year netted over $100. A king and a queen from each class were crowned at the dance. From the four couples a school king and queen—seniors Dave Barron and Sharon Strayer—were elected by the entire student body. Music for the casual affair was provided by the “Rubber Souls,” a local combo. “YOUR HIPPY-DIPPY WEATHER WOMAN, senior Mary Lou Sheldon, presented a hippy- dippy weather report during the Government Club assembly on March 22. CROWNED AT THE DANCE, class kings and queens are Ron Rybicki (sophomores), Randy Hlad and Marsha Hunt (fresh- Eatinger and Vicki Westerfield (juniors), Ed Skager and Jo men), and Dave Barron and Sharon Strayer (seniors). 21 BURNING WITH JEALOUSY, Jack (Larry Buechley) watches Amy (Donna Bergner) kiss his aunt ' s cheek (Gary Austin). GIVING FRIENDLY ADVICE, the Artful Dodger (Jim Deiotte) tells Oliver (Steve Munsey) to consider himself part of the family. Plays create aura of mystery, passion Electrifying currents of excitement travelled through the air as the audience waited for the house lights to dim and the actors to come to life. OLIVER!, a musical presented by both the drama and vocal departments on March 9, 10, and 11, tells the story of a young orphan’s search for love and security. He joins a gang of pick-pockets but is caught while trying to rob a doctor who finally realizes that Oliver is his lost grandson and takes him into his home. Slapstick comedy, “Dark Doings at the Crossroads or Who Stole the Salad Dressing?” was one of three one- act plays staged on January 21. “Pullman Car Hiawatha” by Thornton Wilder and “The Pigeons” by Lawrence Os¬ good were the other two one-acts presented as part of the Actors’ Workshop. This theater group helps the stu¬ dents to learn acting and directing techniques. “Charlie’s Aunt” is the story of three adventurous col¬ lege students who invite two girls to tea on the pretense of meeting their aunt. When the aunt is unable to attend, she is replaced by one of the boys. WITH THE AID of Glen Williams, Larry Buechley persuades his father (Mike Usinger) to date Charlie ' s Aunt (Gary Austin). 22 EXASPERATED Marcia Lambert threatens to strike Evelyn Hopf in The Pigeons, one of three one-act plays presented in January. SHAKING HIS CANE at Jack Dalton (Tony Willardo), Augustus Kerplunk (George Dudzik) feebly protects his daughter Laurinda (Gerry Rospond). UNAWARE that Oliver (Steve Munsey) is peeking over his shoulder, Fagin (Ed Straub) examines his jewels. Crazy attire is put aside as seniors don STRICKEN WITH SENIORITY Mori Schles- inger models the attire for Bermuda Day. PAUSING TO DISCUSS PLANS for a hoe-down are seniors Joyce Clauson and Don Williams. Hobo-Hillbilly Day was one of four days set aside for seniors. STYLISHLY DRESSED, Len Sunde pauses on Dress-up Day to think of the future. caps, gowns for baccalaureate services Pinafores, short pants, and beanies composed the pre¬ ferred attire for Senior Week Kindergarten Day. On Wednesday, seniors donned bermudas, tennis shoes, and shades to dress in the style of Bermuda Day. Thursday, Hobo-Hillbilly Day, found seniors clad in suspenders and patched clothes while carrying jugs of “powerful stuff.” Ending the week, seniors dressed in their best for the final day of Senior Week—Dress-up Day. Held at the Hammond Tech auditorium on June 4, the seniors met to carry on the tradition of Baccalaureate services. Speakers were the Reverend Dominic Pallone of Saint Catherine of Siena Catholic Church and the Reverend David Chesebrough of Meadow Lane Baptist Church, chosen by the Council of Churches. Meeting together as a class for the last time, on June 7, the seniors gathered at the Civic Center as a climax to their high school careers. Before receiving their dip¬ lomas the Class of 1967 heard the valedictory and salu¬ tatory addresses and also speeches by Mr. W. W. Becker and Mr. W. Lee Martin, who is connected with the De¬ partment of Speech and Theatre at Indiana University. LEAVING THE AUDITORIUM after commencement exercises, two grad¬ uates pause and reflect on the past four years of high school. ATTIRED IN CAPS and gowns, Vicki Williams and Jerry Finley take a last look at the school. 25 IT ' S ALL OVER. Linda McTaggart calmly contemplates the happenings of the past evening. CALLING FOR HIS DATE, Mike Pepelea nervously rings the doorbell and read¬ ies himself for her appearance. Blues, white portray DISCUSSING THEIR PLANS for the evening ahead, Kevin Camp¬ bell and Peggy Gladish look forward to an unforgettable prom. 26 setting of prom ' in the still of the night ' IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT, the 1967 prom, found iso¬ lated couples gliding to music by Ronnie Rodgers ' Orchestra. Soft blue lights, tiny white silhouettes, and a color scheme of varying shades of blue set the mood of the 1967 prom— In the Still of the Night.” Ronnie Rodgers and his Orchestra provided the music for the long- awaited and hoped-for formal event, held at the Scher- wood Club. Months of planning by the junior class made the night of May 20 one to be long remembered. Audience participation keynoted the acts of the After- Prom Party. Toushay, a professional pickpocket, and Sonny Mars, a comedian and former disc jockey, pro¬ vided the entertainment for prom-goers. Planned by the juniors’ parents, the party had a less-formal atmosphere than the prom, including contemporary dancing and music by a combo, “The Facts.” Also held at Scherwood Club, the Post-Prom Party offered a buffet-style dinner. Couples spent the day after the prom at the beach and at picnic grounds. All formal signs of the previous even¬ ing disappeared as students donned bermudas and shades for a day of rollicking fun and good times. ONE LAST CHECK in the mirror makes Linda McTaggart feel more prepared for her date. Overcrowded conditions had become a way of life at Morton. Every classroom was in use each hour of the day; students and teachers could not find a quiet place to study. In spite of limited facilities, Morton Governors still achieved aca¬ demic excellence. Although the new facilities will include science and language labs, only the efforts of students and teachers will continue to make MHS excel academically. academ ...8, 9, 10, FREEZE!

Students read many novels and plays not only in courses that stress reading, but also in grammar and com¬ position courses. These range anywhere from GREAT EXPECTATIONS to THE HUMAN COMEDY and from JULIUS CAESAR to THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA. English literature is mainly concerned with English writers and their backgrounds. Students who wish to further broaden their literary knowledge may choose to take world literature. This course, which is new at Mor¬ ton, covers literature from the Russia of Tolstoy to the America of John Knowles. American literature gives students an insight into the heritage and customs of America through the work of native authors. Students interested in dramatics or speech have found ways of expressing themselves in the oral presentation of written works. For others who wish to write rather than speak, courses such as journalism are offered. Speech and journalism are one semester courses in which students learn the basics of speaking and writing. After these courses students may plan to go on to debate and forensics or work on the MORTONITE or TOP HAT. THE MAIN CONCERN of Miss M. Hunter is to describe the good characteristics of a book report to Mike Usinger. Accelerated language courses present WHILE PRACTICING THE TECHNIQUES of pronouncing the deportment tape recorder. Students are aided by French sentences, Connie Lannin and Terry Hiduke use these tapes which help them to hear the correct usage. PLAYING ' TORO ' , THE BULL, and the matador, Dennis King and Mark Simko demonstrate the art of bullfighting, the national sport of Mexico. DEMONSTRATING his ability to relate ideas in the German language, Fred Willison at¬ tempts to sell Laura Lundquist a box of Keks cornflakes. 32 challenge for study “Tempus fugit!” Words such as these greeted stu¬ dents returning to third year Latin. Advanced class members studied Cicero’s orations and other Roman classics. Although Latin is considered a “dead” language by some, the number of students at Morton taking Latin is equal to those in all other language courses combined. Movies, guest speakers, and research assignments com¬ prised the extra aids used in French classes. The purpose of using these aids was to help students understand French culture and ways of Hying. Tape recorders were used by students to help learn pronunciation. Translation, sentence composition, and basic con¬ versation were important parts of Spanish classes. Stu¬ dents in first and second year courses concentrated on grammar and vocabulary building and perfected pho¬ netic techniques. Students learned the customs of Spain and Mexico by projects such as making a pinata in class. Using the language as it is used in Germany is one phase of the second year German class curriculum. Stu¬ dents learned the practical application of the language. The reading and translation of the novels William Tell and Faust advanced the translation skills of students. German was the only language allowed to be spoken in third and fourth year classes. HIS HANDS COVERED with a papier mache mixture, Terry Rhodes starts the construction of a pinata for Spanish class. A pinata is a brightly decorated ornament full of candy. VIA THE WATCHFUL EYE of Mr. W. Ruff, Norma Reitz is caught using an ' illegal aid ' in her Latin V class. PONDERING OVER HER SELECTION, Gayle Herochik studies the title and time span of a book for a U.S. history report. Book reports have become regular assignments in some classes. TAKING TIME OUT to find what ' s what in the world of finance, Bill Harvey scans the Wall Street Journal for his Business, math lead SETTING UP A DISPLAY for world history showing the spread of Buddhism are Marty Vicari, Chuck Pinson, and Mike Clark. economics class. Students learn the effects of inflation, de¬ pressions and foreign aid on the national economy. students toward jobs in changing world To gain control and master fundamentals in first year typing classes, amateur typists used music to help improve their rhythm. After learning basic finger reaches, students began to type short sentences and simple pro¬ blems. Advanced students used timed writings and type¬ written manuscripts to perfect their typing. Stenography is a continuation of typing and short¬ hand. Besides learning the basic duties and needs of an office worker, students in stenography gained a better knowledge of the business world through the use of office equipment. In shorthand students learned and practiced the various symbols and signs that compose the different sounds in the English language. Mathematics is daily becoming more of a necessity than an elective. General math is a course designed to give students a general background of math. In this course students learn the basic properties of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students in the college preparatory course are able to take algebra and geometry. These courses stress the use of theorems and postulates. Advanced algebra and trigonometry offer a continuation in mathematics for those students who wish to pursue this type of course. AWAITING HER TURN, Laura Luketic watches as Randy Drum¬ mond takes a test with a typewriter cover on his head. Stu¬ dents used the test to help them stop peeking at the keyboard. ANGLE TRISECTION, a project concerning rays, angles and circles, is explained by John Soltys. Such projects for ad¬ vanced algebra make math problems more visible to students. WRESTLING with a troublesome typewriter ribbon, Linda Will¬ iams learns one of the skills taught in business courses. HOOKING WIRES for a turtle heart experiment are Catie Stanley and Mr. J. Rasmussen. Such OBSERVATION of the prancing mouse enable BSCS biology students experiments help students to study animals. Chris Czlonka and Elaine Gaida to study the process of animal reaction. Experiments, field trips open doors for MAKING USE OF A sein (net) biology students learned about water life. All BSCS biology stu¬ dents participated in the water field trip in the spring. 36 OPERATING AN OSCILLOSCOPE for advanced physics, Chris Skorupa and Cal Barnes learn how electrical currents can be measured and made visible by a wavy line on a fluorescent screen. UTTERLY CONFUSED, Jenny Miner tries to see the future of other psychology students by reading palms. students desiring knowledge in science To help understand current science developments in business and industry, students used field trips and mov¬ ies in addition to regular chemistry classes. Chemistry and physics students jointly participated in a field trip to the Standard Oil refineries. At the end of this trip students completed a required report. Chemistry is a study of mixtures, elements, compounds, and chemical reactions. Physics is a more mathematical course dealing in the study of heat, light, weight, sound, density, radioactivity, and motion. For the first time in seven years, the Morton science department offered psychology. Students taking this course studied the process of learning and how to learn. They also studied patterns of human behavior, intel¬ ligence, and processes of thinking. Students in biology classes performed experiments with white mice training them to react to certain stimuli. Botany and zoology offered a continuation of basic biology courses. Botany is the study of plants and their environments. Zoology students did further research on animals and their life processes. CAREFULLY MEASURING a mixture to be used in a chemistry experiment, Cary Zneimer and Mike Usinger watch carefully so that they do not spill or waste any of the liquid. 37 Driving classes emphasize auto safety THROUGH THE COMPARISON of two abstract charcoal draw¬ ings, art student Cindy Echterling learns about content. Purdue Calumet Campus parking lot was the scene of many parallel parking practices for driver education stu¬ dents. Enrolled Morton and Bishop Noll students were required to participate in classroom activities as well as driving in surrounding areas. At the end of the course students planned a two hour trip and drove to any place they wished in the time allotted. Another course that had record enrollment this year was physical education. Due to a very large freshman class and inadequate facilities, some students had to postpone their gym classes until the second semester. Besides the usual work with basketball, field hockey, volleyball, and badminton, the girls learned how to use archery equipment. Folk and square dancing, taught in gym classes, helped build co-ordination and rhythm. When the weather grew warmer, gymnastics and base¬ ball comprised most class periods. Students in Art I and II learned the fundamentals of design, contrast, light, and the use of basic art tools. Advanced class members participated in a poster con¬ test, sponsored by the American Merchant Marine. Besides annual concerts, students in the music depart¬ ment participated in the musical production, OLIVER! The vocal students played the parts of the characters in the play and orchestra members accompanied them. ASSEMBLING HER FLUTE before class, sophomore Nancy Baxley prepares for a short warm-up practice. POINTING OUT the use of the various instruments on the car ' s dashboard to senior Vicky Longawa is driver education instructor Mr. H. Stout. 39 Gov ' nors learn fundamentals of wood USE OF THE POWER DRILL is one of the skills learned in shop. Jeff Sopo demonstrates this for Danny Hoffman. INDIVIDUAL STUDENT INSTRUCTION is used by Mr. F. Concialdi with Stan McCaw to provide extra help in mechanical drawing. CONCENTRATION and skill are combined to help Jerry Bogner and George Buechley com¬ plete their shop assign¬ ment. Projects such as bow and arrow racks helped to build skills. 40 shop, home economics to increase skills PERMANENTLY PRESSED SHIRTS are the primary thoughts of Rick Schwartz as he attempts to put his homemaking skills to practical use while ironing a shirt. “Knives and spoons to the right, forks to the left!” Members of the boys’ foods class sometimes found that setting a table is not as easy as it seems to be. Besides learning how to set tables and iron shirts, boys in clothing and foods courses learned the basic home¬ making fundamentals. They learned how to cook simple meals and how to sew simple pieces of clothing. Movies and research assignments played a big part in foods and home economics courses for girls. Both factors were used to give the girls in the classes a better understanding of homemaking skills. Students wishing to acquire knowledge in the field of precise measurements, construction of scale draw¬ ings, and exact lettering took part in mechanical draw¬ ing and other shop courses. Special tools were used in the classes to aid students in their pursuit of technical knowledge. Advanced students also worked on two and three dimensional problems. A new course, descriptive geometry, was offered this year in connection with the mechanical drawing di¬ vision at Morton. This course deals with space relation¬ ships, solid geometrical problems, and three line con¬ structions. This class was open to all students. Safety is the main objective in shop classes. Gun and bow and arrow racks were the projects completed in wood shop. In this course students learned the correct use of power tools such as drills and jigsaws. BURIED BY PILES of cloth destined to become blouses and skirts before the end of the semester is Carole Cornelison. As Morton ' s population exploded, facilities grew inadequate. Clubs met after school. Dramatic equipment was stored in the basement. A new school will alleviate these problems. A larger auditorium will allow one assembly to serve all students. An enlarged stage will facilitate the production of more involved scripts. The organizations themselves will not change- only their meeting places. activities CATCHING UP on Associ¬ ation business. Recorder Diane Bjorklund checks current correspondence. Young leaders cope with endless tasks of self-government Encouraged by Morton’s Student Association, school clubs held monthly dances to raise money and provide entertainment. Good attendance at these affairs assured their continuance throughout the year. This year’s Association scored at least one first in its history. Breaking a thirteen-year tradition, a girl — Hazel Witte — attained the office of vice-president. She and the other two officers attended summer institute where they studied parliamentary procedure. At Christmas time the Association participated in the city-wide “Toys for Tots” campaign. Old stuffed animals and other toys were collected and distributed to underprivileged children. Other projects included new parking stickers and a revised Student Directory. COURT OFFICIALS are-BOTTOM ROW: N. Baasse, P. Pesch- ke. SECOND ROW: D. Gillespie, W. Bocken. THIRD ROW: S. Vadas, J.

Serving as an amateur rating service, Historical Club polled Governors on various timely issues. The results of these polls, along with student comments, appeared in the MORTONITE. This year the club became a member of the Hammond Historical Society. Sponsoring bake sales and a car wash, members earned money to finance a trip to Chicago museums and galleries. Money from these projects also made possible a Christmas bowling party and a beach party in June. Concern for two Vietnamese children prompted Gov¬ ernment Club to organize its annual dance and assembly program. Holding an informal dance for the second year, club members voted to continue with “Cupid’s Concerto” as the annual name for the affair. “Cupid’s Concerto, 1967” grossed over 200 dollars for Be and Trung. The assembly, complete with fake television stars, added several hundred dollars to the fund. 47 NEWLY INITIATED HONOR SOCIETY members are-BOTTOM ROW: C. Lessie, L. Schwandt, J, Long, S. Crist, D.

One young orator—senior Chuck Starks—went on to qualify for state finals in oratorical declamation. This event consists of choosing and delivering a speech written by another person—usually a known speaker. To meet transportation costs to various tournaments, speech clubs sponsored “Battle of the Bands.” The dance, open to all city students, featured regional combos. Using their tickets as ballots, those attending chose the Tastie Mojos as their favorite group. Forming the bulk of play committees, Theater Guild members devoted much of their time to making Morton’s productions successful. Between plays members partic¬ ipated in Actor’s Workshop where they perfected acting skills. Stage plays and college productions also served as models for correct techniques. Concentrating on developing new drawing skills, Art Club took trips to area art museums and studios.

Responsible for MORTONITE and some TOP HAT pic¬ tures, the club used the money that they earned to buy new materials for the photography labs. In charge of audio and visual equipment, Cinema Club members showed movies and operated expensive recording instruments. Several members were involved in producing sound effects for the school plays. WAQTZO were the call letters of Electronics Club’s new ham radio station. Starting from scratch, club mem¬ bers planned and constructed their own ten-watt trans¬ mitter.

Numbering 90 members, the International Language Club was one of the largest at Morton. At alternate meet¬ ings each language division presented a program fea¬ turing movies, foreign dances, or guest speakers. A Christmas party and a trip to Cafe la Margarita intro¬ duced the club to foreign foods. Meeting the requirement of a B or better average, Tutors assisted others in subjects causing difficiulties. Part of the money earned through tutoring was placed in the club treasury. Tutors used these funds to make a contribution to Morton’s adopted orphans. Sponsoring a roller skating party and a bake sale, Biology Club earned money to purchase expensive in¬ struments for the Science Department. A spring trip to the Purdue University laboratories advanced their knowl¬ edge of new techniques in biological research. Interested in scientific careers, the Zoology Club in¬ vited speakers to give talks and show movies on various job opportunities. Field trip destinations included the Indiana Dunes State Park, St. Catherine’s Hospital, and an animal hospital.

Looming deadlines swamp busy staff All-American honors went to Morton’s yearbook, the TOP HAT, for excellence in style, planning and total appearance. Scoring 978 out of a possible 1000 points, the yearbook also earned Medalist honors from the Col¬ umbia Scholastic Press Association. It was the third time in the past four years that the TOP HAT has re¬ ceived top ratings in national competition. Although following the precedent set by previous books, this year’s TOP HAT was different in several ways. Color on the Homecoming, prom, and play spreads and an enlarged opening section were two of these changes. Necessary because of the increasing enrollment in the high school, eight extra pages provided room for more extensive coverage of school affairs. Costs for these additions were met by selling extra advertising space to local merchants and school organizations. As preparation for their new positions, this year’s co¬ editors attended summer institute at Indiana Univer¬ sity where they studied copywriting and editing.

STAND¬ ING: Mary Houghton, Barb Franklin, Jackie Kohl, Elaine Walkowiak, Jim Hunt. Faced with a 50 per cent cut in its budget, the MOR¬ TONITE staff had to struggle to make ends meet second semester. Staff members worked to sell extra advertising space but could not produce enough money to keep the paper on its regular bi-weekly schedule. The staff did succeed in preparing a “flyer” at Sectional time plus several editions at three-week intervals. Awarded first place honors by two national rating services, the MORTONITE drew a record number of aspiring journalists in January. Working under crowded conditions, they helped put together the last issues of the paper that would be published at the old school. Designed to honor industrious young writers, Quill and Scroll ushered in new members at candlelight cere¬ monies. Club projects included the annual TOP HAT- MORTONITE game and the staff banquet.

Y-Teens is affiliated with the youth division of the international YWCA. Designed to help teenage girls develop in mind and spirit, service clubs offered Governors an opportunity to help others less fortunate than themselves. Beginning their activities with initiation ceremonies in January, Y-Teens planned several service projects for the year. The first was a bake sale held to earn money to send a CARE package overseas. For Easter members organized an Easter egg hunt for the children in Car¬ melite Home for Boys. Proceeds from a computer dance co-sponsored with the Association were also used for the Carmelite Home. At the Y-Teens spring banquet mem¬ bers who had accumulated the highest number of points for leadership and service received small awards. Life for residents of the Woodmar Nursing Home was perhaps made a little brighter through the efforts of the Home Ec and Girls’ Clubs. Twice during the year members from these two service clubs made cookies and punch to take to the elderly people at the Home. Com¬ posed of girls interested in domestic skills, Home Ec Club also sponsored a Mother-Daughter Fashion Show where students modeled their handmade outfits. GIRLS ' CLUB members are-BOTTOM ROW: L.

In November club members collected canned goods and money to supply Thanksgiving baskets for needy families in the Hessville area. Sponsoring the “Has Been-Will Be” basketball game, M-Club earned money to continue the display of team pictures in the north hall. The game, an annual clash be¬ tween departing seniors and the present underclassmen, featured boy cheerleaders and players covered with black paint.

In the spring the Choir performed at the All-City Music Festival held at the Civic Center and at Mortons Baccalaureate and Commencement. Climaxing their sing¬ ing careers at Morton, senior members received awards according to the number of points they had earned through assemblies, concerts, and extracurricular groups. Only members of the Concert Choir could participate in the Mixed Ensemble, also known as “Swing Sixteen.” Singing carols at Hammond City Hall, the group took part in the “putting up” ceremony of the large Christmas tree. As members of the Vocal Department, the Mixed Ensemble and Girls’ Choir sang at assemblies and con¬ certs designed to entertain and raise money.

Organizations combine to boost spirit Bus trips, painted clapping blocks, capes, and signs were all a part of this year’s Booster Club. One of Mor¬ ton’s largest organizations, Booster Club’s main function was to stir up support for athletic events. Cutting and sewing new red and gray capes, members worked with the cheerleaders to develop routines for the cheer block. During November the club held a dance to raise money for the athletic department. After viewing the baby pictures of six varsity football players, students attend¬ ing the affair voted for the baby they thought would grow into the best player. Steve Vadas was crowned “Mr. Football” at the dance held in the gym. Practicing twice a week resulted in the first place district award and the third place state trophy for Mor¬ ton’s twirlers. Traveling throughout the state, members of the squad displayed their talents in contests and exhibitions. One of their main activities was performing at home football and basketball games. In compliance with the President’s Council for Phys¬ ical Fitness, members of the Girls’ Athletic Association participated in a strenuous program of activities. Bowl¬ ing, tennis, swimming, and gymnastics helped develop these girls into active young women. ACTIVE GAA members are— BOTTOM ROW: R. Reba, K. De- Bold. SECOND ROW: G. Ros- pond, Miss J.

In practice, however, he taught the players new tactics. 76 place honors in Northwest Conference Striving to uphold the glory of a state champ team, the Governors set out to take state honors, capture the conference title, and extend their winning streak. They came within two games of accomplishing these aims. Morton fans had their eyes on the Tech Football-O- Rama to see what kind of team head-coach Maurey Zlot- nik and assistants Bob Gollner and Nick Luketic would produce. 1967 looked good with Morton dominating the O-Rama by beating Tech, 16-0, and Gavit, 14-0. Easy victory over Michigan City, 19-0, the first game of the year, provided the team with a foundation on which to build. The following week the defense stopped Bishop Noll from scoring on Morton’s 20-yard line and ended the game 14-7 in the Governors’ favor. Clark’s team struck first in their encounter with M.H.S. — that was all the points they scored — as the Governor gridmen came storming back with a 27-6 victory. Morton gained attention as they collided with the East Chicago Washington Senators. Mistakes on the Senators’ part and excellent execution of plays by Mor¬ ton gave M.H.S. a 19-0 lead at the end of the first quar¬ ter. From then on it was the Senators’ time to score, ending the game in a tie 19-19. The fifth game of the season, against Tech, showed that the boys could bounce back from a depressing game the week before to win 34-13. Another team having the privilege of scoring first on the Governors were the Whiting Oilers. M.H.S. came back with five touchdowns while only allowing one more for the Oilers. The final score was Morton 34, Whiting 14. With an unblemished record for 18 games, M.H.S. came up against the Rough Riders of Roosevelt. Capit¬ alizing on early game mistakes, the Riders had a 13-0 lead at half time. The gridmen scored early in the sec¬ ond half, but Roosevelt iced the game with a field goal, ending the game in their favor 16-7. With only two games remaining and all hopes of state honors, conference title, and lengthening the winning streak vanquished, the squad prepared to take the city title. The scoring machine and strong defense of the gridmen handed Gavit a 37-7 loss, showing that the bow to Roosevelt did not hamper the Governors. Coming up against archrival Hammond High, the coaches and team kept in mind that never in Morton’s football history have the Governors beaten H.H.S. twice in a row. M.H.S. succeeded in overwhelming the Wild¬ cats on a snowsoftened field, 42-14, taking the city title successfully for two straight years. DIVING FOR FIRST DOWN YARDAGE, D.

Skill and work compiled a record which enabled this year’s wrestling team to stand first in the Northwest Conference. Mr. R. Gollner, assisted by Mr. F. Kepler, led the team to fifth place in the sectional race. A victory over Portage gave the matmen spirit which carried through the entire wrestling season. This deter¬ mination was shown by beating such worthy opponents as Hammond High, Hammond Tech, Portage, and Horace Mann. One well-deserved victory was over Ham¬ mond Gavit, which was undefeated for two years. The team voted senior Ken White as Most Valuable Wrestler and senior Chris Skorupa as Captain. The boys each earned recognition by compiling individual records of 11-1 and 9-1 respectively. Another individual award went to junior Ron Meseberg, with a record of 14-1.

Finishing the 1966-67 season, the Roundballers de¬ feated the remaining four out of six opponents before entering the sectionals. Relying basically on towering height and individual scoring spurts, Morton’s Cagers won nine games while losing two. Getting off to a rather shaky start, the Governors lost to Gary Emerson in the initial contest and then nudged out Eishop Noll by a score of 66-61. Confronted by the Vikings of Valparaiso, Morton fell, 81-63. By Holiday Tourney time the record stood at three wins and four losses. In the tournament Morton placed third by first falling to the favored Roosevelt Rough Riders, 65-44, and then battering the Whiting Oilers. Following tournament action, the Cagers suffered a close loss to Griffith. The squad gained a moral victory as they nearly upset the highly rated Panthers 69-66. In the following game Morton won a close decision in the remaining seconds of overtime against c ross-town rival Hammond Gavit by a score of 79-71. Temporarily set back by two successive losses to E.C. Roosevelt, 50-42, and Hammond High, 79-77, the Gov¬ ernors bounced back to subdue Highland, 65-62, and start a new winning streak. Following up on their suc¬ cess, the Morton squad crushed Clark 71-67. In the game opposing St. Joe, Morton’s control of the backboards was evident as the Cagers whipped the Indians, 71-67. End¬ ing the year the team routed Whiting. JUMPING HIGH, L. Robertson takes deadly aim for the hoop. 87 COMING DOWN with the rebound, senior F. Tokoly receives some assistance from L.

In what will probably be remembered as the two big¬ gest upsets of the Hammond Sectionals, the Morton Gov¬ ernors smashed the tournament hopes of sectional fav¬ orite Hammond High, 65-62, only to fall to the Mustangs of Munster by a score of 76-62. Never losing the lead gained in the first two minutes of play the Governor defense proved itself as it held the Wildcats to 26 out of 90 shots from the floor. The Morton squad trailed in all the statistics except the vital free-throws and field goals. Munster gave the Governors a real battle as the lead see-sawed between the two teams the entire game. The high scorer was senior Frank Tokoly who was respon¬ sible for half of the Morton team’s 62 points.

Displaying a style of baseball that again brought the City Championship to Morton, the 1965-66 Governor baseball team totaled a 16-2 record. Although this was the first year in region-wide competition, Morton secured the Indiana Northwest Conference title. Morton’s first victory was over the Calumet Warriors with a score of 5-0. However, MHS was temporarily set back with a loss to Gary Wirt, 7-3. A winning streak continued for the next 14 games. Hobart was the sec¬ ond and last team to defeat the Governors. In an 11-6 victory over Hammond Tech, the Governor baseball squad proved to be a hitting team. With an 8-0 shutout over the Hobart Brickies, the schedule closed. Defense proved invaluable, while the ballcrew scored 80 runs to its opponents’ 44. Shortstop Darrel Chaney and outfielder Jim Shabi worked together as co-captains of the team. “The Most Valuable Player” of the 1965-66 season was pitcher Bob Biscan.

WHILE CLAPPING, soph Laura Luketic calmly watches the game. generates enthusiasm at games, rallies Well-known sounds such as “One, two, three, four, go, Governors, go,” could be heard whenever Morton’s team faced an opponent at the Hammond Civic Center or on the football field. Shouting these cheers of encourage¬ ment demanded spirit and enthusiasm on the part of the varsity, B-team, and freshmen cheerleaders. Adopting new motions for old cheers kept the yell squad busy during practice sessions. To get ideas for new motions and to learn new formations the girls attended cheerleading camp at Syracuse, Indiana. The girls organized pep rallies and bake sales to con¬ tribute money to the cheerleading fund. After school they also worked with the cape section chairman teach¬ ing the section new cheers and chants. Sponsored by Miss P. Martucci, the cheerleaders sup¬ ported all teams, particularly football and basketball, by instilling crowd spirit and enthusiasm. Before the senior cheerleaders’ graduation, they had one final task to perform—to help select next year’s five varsity cheerleaders on the basis of jumping ability, spirit, coordination, and poise. FRESHMEN CHEERLEADERS are-BOTTOM ROW: Marsha Hunt, Diana Green, Carole Cornelison. SECOND ROW: Don¬ na Hilty, Sandi Carey. TOP ROW: Carol Bertagnolli, Jan Rogowski. They cheered at all frosh games.

They cheered at all B-team games as well as homecoming festivities. 97 Lacking people, a school is merely a shell, a pile of bricks without warmth or meaning. People are the pulse of a school; they give it life. Like an overflowing river, the old Morton can no longer hold all the stu¬ dents. The new building, just an empty shell, waits for the arrival of students who will fill it with life and activity. album Officers fulfill pledge for eventful year VICE PRESIDENT Jim Rospond and secretary Nancy Baasse discuss initial plans for the senior banquet. DAYDREAMING HAS A SPOT in each senior ' s day including Tom George ' s, who takes a break from his economic studies. Electing executive board members from each home¬ room was the first step seniors took to assure an enjoy¬ able and memorable year. Under the guidance of class president Ron Volbrecht, vice president Jim Rospond, and secretary Nancy Baasse, the executive board selected wheat and bottle-green for ’66-’67 cords. Much time and effort was devoted by seniors to make this year’s homecoming a success. Using money from the class treasury, the graduating class created a multi¬ colored blue whale with a huge red mouth, denoting the theme “We’ve Got a Whale of a Team.” Both the Junior-Senior Prom and After-Prom Party were held at the Scherwood Club. Seniors attended “In the Still of the Night,” and danced to Ronnie Rodger’s music. Excitement of graduation began with a baccalaureate service and continued to commencement exercises where seniors obtained their high school diploma. PRESIDING at senior executive board meetings is one of the major obligations of the class president, Ron Volbrecht. of through promotion better class spirit a whale of a team ' using petals, lumber LINDA SUE BELL Bio.

BARBARA ZMIGROCKI 123 LEADING THE CLASS OF ' 68 in its activities and undertakings as upper¬ classmen is President Cal Robertson. ASSISTING THE PRESIDENT in organizing class affairs is Vice-President Gig Anderson ' s duty. Service to school promotes leadership RECORDING THE MINUTES and doing other paperwork were the jobs of Junior Class Secretary Candy Lessie. The Class of ’68 began this school year with the ex¬ citement of spending their last year in the “old” Morton and their first year as upperclassmen. As upperclassmen, juniors elected an executive board which supervised the planning and construction of the Homecoming float. Under the guidance of sponsors Mr. R. Moorehead and Mrs. J. Hetterscheidt, the Class of ’68 chose “Flatten those Tigers” as the theme of their float. They also designated March 22 as their Class Dress-Up Day. The juniors selected “In the Still of the Night” as the theme for the 1967 Prom. This long-awaited extent was held at the Scherwood Club on May 20. Ronnie Rodger’s Orchestra provided the music for the prom. With the help of their parents, juniors planned the After- Prom Party and selected the Facts, a “go-go” type group. Juniors also had the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C., and New York City on the annual trip. They walked through the streets of Chinatown, visited the small shops of Greenwich Village, and saw Radio City Music Hall besides touring the famous landmarks of the country. Since the new school will open in the fall of ’67, the Class of ’68 will be the first class to graduate from there. They are anticipating a senior year full of new experi¬ ences amidst the surrounding of M.H.S. 124 Juniors enter world of upperclassmen Gig Andersoi Thomas Arno Cynthia Arva Jim Baasse Joe Balka Sandy Bates Debby Berarc id y l ep ' M £5 0 tTj 4 V ?

Since bell¬ boys were extinct, girls struggled with their baggage. AS UPPERCLASSMEN, juniors were allowed to purchase class rings — and sometimes romance prompted exchanges. Girls were seen wearing boy ' s rings fitted with rubb er bands. 128 HEY GANG! That was the cry heard from jun¬ iors cheering at basket¬ ball gamesdast season.

TAKING AN ACTIVE PART in backing Morton athletics, while enjoying the bus trip to the St. Joe game, are sophomores Mary AnrrStryzin- ski, Theresa Tokoly, and Gerry Rospond. 130 Upon entering their second year of high school, the sophomore student body showed a greater interest in dra¬ matics, clubs, sports, and extra-curricular activities. The sophomores, who last year were often left out of ac¬ tivities due to lack of experience, participated widely in school functions. Interest in the elections of officers and senators demonstrated the fact that the sophomores were fast becoming an active part of Morton High. This year the Class of ’69 participated in various organizations and clubs. They, along with the other students, played an important part in planning such suc¬ cessful projects as the Inaugural Ball. Sophomores who took part in Girls’ Choir, Boys’ Chorus, Mixed Ensemble, and Concert Choir performed in assemblies and con¬ certs. They also cooperated with the Dramatics Depart¬ ment to produce the spring musical OLIVER! Their academic curriculum included some first-hand experiences in the study of biology, literature, and higher forms of mathematics. Some biology classes studied plant and insect life by taking field trips to a pond where they collected specimens. Next year the sophomore class will enjoy their first year as upperclassmen in the new school. They are look¬ ing forward to the new activities such as preparing the Homecoming Float and the prom. while guiding students in class activities Lynn Allen Carmen Alvarado Michael Argadine Ronnie Ashburn Deana Avery Joanne Babinec Pat Bagley A Si 3 a ft Margaret Bailor Ray Bakker Peggy Barney Joe Bastasich Ed Batsel Nancy Baxley a a Sandy Bement George Benetich Don Bertagnolli Veronica Bielak Debbie Bindas Barbara Bogert Mary Lou Bogner (Tj pa ' - it Jjss ' jd a Joyce Bohannon Judy Bond Toni Bonomo Joyce Borowski Petie Boskovitch Joy Bostian James Boughomer § w V 7 V ft -3 f a a fT Peggy Boyon Robert Braner Jim Brass Kevin Brennan Terry Broach Bill Brownewell OH a a a. m i w Mary Buechley Linda Buono Karin Busby Clyde Byers Virginia Byers Carl Carney Debbie Catania a O, A AWv Dee Cauble Mary Cerajewski Mike Cerajewski Alan Chepregi Paul Chiki Cindy Chism John Chorba a an a ta Paul Cody Cathy Collins Sue Connor Carole Cornelison Frank Crall Sharon Cunningham Chris Czlonka a ft Na i’- ' i rft A Larry Day Terri Dillon Robert Dobos Jim Dodson Mike Doyle Ken Drangmeister Students partake in many sports, plays, 132 clubs, while enjoying sophomore year Laura Luketic Laura Lundquist Gary Madison Kathy Mann Rich Markowski Ricky Mason Roberta Mattoon Chris Mazur Mary Mendoza Janice Meyer Louise Miera Tom Miksich Kay Miller Roberta Miller Rocky Miller Pat Miner Pamela Misanik Jim Mitchell Kathy Moery Kathy Mosca Roger Mullins Gayle Muta Sheila McCloud Norm McConnell Debbie McDillon Gloria McDougal Sue Nemcek TRYING TO BOOST SCHOOL SPIRIT by painting and display- mores Linda Fieldon, Elaine Gaida, and Chris Czlonka.

As Morton’s largest class ever, the Class of 70 num¬ bered a grand total of 433 students. Along with being a large class came many difficulties which had to be over¬ come. In order to be able to attend assemblies, special programs had to be scheduled for the freshmen to at¬ tend. The gym classes were so crowded that some stu¬ dents will have to take physical education next year. The Class of 70 really got into the “swing of things” by electing class officers, a representative from each homeroom, and two Senators in the Student Association. Freshmen not only participated in their own football and basketball teams but had their own cheerleaders who tried to stir up spirit. While chosing which classes to take or which course to follow, freshmen had a choice of either the academic or the general course. Included were such subjects as modern algebra, foreign languages, and the required social studies, English, and physical education classes. To help freshmen prepare for future plans and careers, they were required to take the Iowa Basic Education Skills Test. The National Educational Development Tests were offered to anyone who was interested.

While Principal W. Winston Becker and his staff considered and approved student efforts and activities, the school board provided funds for campus expenditures. As principal, Mr. Becker hired new faculty members during the spring and summer months, approved money for school projects, met with student leaders about as¬ semblies, dances, and other extra-curricular functions, and made final plans for the next semester. Handling truancy, misconduct, student parking prob¬ lems, and other misdemeanors came under the control of Mr. George Kurteff, assistant principal and disciplin¬ arian. He saw to the enforcement of a student grooming code and made checks on pupils’ failing marks. Violators of school rules were given penalities—clean-up duties, detentions, or expulsion—by M r. Kurteff. Appropriating money funds and passing new legisla¬ tion for the school system kept school board members busy at their bi-weeldy meetings. The board, chosen by general election, weighed and decided upon bills for all equipment for the new Morton High School. With the new building the administration and school board will be able to draw from past experiences and make use of new facilities to provide better educational and social benefits for the students. PRINCIPAL BECKER looks ahead to the new school. SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS are —(seated) Treas. C. Scott, Pres. T. Potesta, Sec. L. Stern; (stand¬ ing) Superintendent O. Rapp, Mr. E. Hudson, Dr. H.

Students learn this principle by publicizing dances, plays, and other school activities. Then, when reading an advertisement, they first sep¬ arate the facts from added glamour. By coming into contact with reputable merchants during the formative high school years, young people learn better buymanship. advertisi We ' re in the PEPSI generation — A. Kaufman and F.
