Wow! Institute! Visions of Animal House captured the minds of students for weeks before going to institutes. Would be institutes dreamed of night long parties and endless days of soaking up the warm summer sun. Much to the students surprise it was a lot of hard work. Students discovered that institutes are really for learning. Basic skills of government were put to practice by Girls and Boy ' s State delegates at Indiana State University in Terre Haute. Delegates were able to vote, attend council meetings, and run their own mini-governments. Dribbling, rebounding, lay-ups, and free-throws occupied the days of students attending Indiana University ' s basketball camp in Bloomington. New techniques, drills, and ways to arouse school spirit were taught to Morton ' s spirit boosters this summer. Varsity Cheerleaders attended Ball State University in Muncie, and the Twirlers attended Smith-Walbridge in Syracuse, Indiana. Effective editing and newspaper layout were taught to Mortonite editors attending the journalism institute at Indiana University in Bloomington. Picking a theme, designing a cover, and critiquing last year ' s book were among the duties occupying the time of Top Hat editors, at St. Mary ' s College in South Bend, Indiana.
