Washington, d.c. trip this year several seniors were awarded a trip to Washington, d.c. in October, for selling subscriptions for the la porte herald-argus. the group also visited Williamsburg and james- town. a visit to the white house and Smithsonian in- stitute were on the agenda for this tour, one of the biggest points of interest was the Washington monu- ment where many of the students climbed to the top while others took an elevator. the trip was highlighted by a visit to the lincoln monument at night when the lights of Washington were reflected from a pool at the base of the monument. this trip created a lasting memory for all concerned. 29 cougar cadettes members cindy bartoszewics patty garoutte kathy martz diane sacks jane briskey pat go ray debbie merley zona seidler janice calhoun kathy hahn linda meyers gina sellers michele dailey pat hill barbara miller sue simpson suedeutscher nancy houk peggy miller pat skaggs debbiedove nancy jones susan moore gail vogel robin eckert vickie jones terry moore debbie vollmer stormy lerguson jeanne lant sue murphy carol wagner cindy fernald linda lant sheila muston betsy wals chris gadacz mary lewis debbie nickerson suzanne winev vicki gadacz cookie lynch debbie nixon linda zarobinski announcer: new prairie high school proudly pre- sents— with this introduction, 44 well-disciplined high school students snap to attention, salute, and reply, cougar cadettes. this girls' drill team, with its precision perfect rou- tines, has become a part of the tradition of our school, they perform at both football and basketball games and never cease to amaze spectators with their ability to conjure new routines for every occasion. basketball fans of all ages especially enjoyed the dance sequence at the jimtown game, accompanied by our talented pep band, the girls presented that wonderful year which included the charleston, jit- terbug, twist, and contemporary dance routines, appropriate costumes worn by the dancers contrib- uted greatly to the production. the cougar cadettes have acquired a reputation for being a contender for national honors in drill team competition by appearing in the Wisconsin spectacle of music at milwaukee. this experience is one of the highlights of their year and keeps them busy year round. this was a memorable year for cougar cadettes as it marked their switch in uniforms, girls in the corps were attired in bright gold uniforms, while the ma- jorettes, chris gadacz and cindy fernald, wore navy blue. 31 pep club miss volkman, sponsor; carol de poy, president; peggy wood, freshman repre- sentative; darla gesse, treasurer; dianne tist her, secretary; helen hanson, ju- nior representative; diane sacks, sophomore representative; becky schroetler, senior representative. this was the first year for an organized pep club at new prairie, under the leader- ship of miss volkman, the club became very important. the first project was to purchase sweat- ers for a look of uniformity, the sweaters were quite a success and were worn to all home games. along with the arranging of the block, hand motions were learned in unison, to add to the effect of the block as a whole, mike quinn became the mascot by dress- ing as a cougar and made his debut at the last home game before Christmas, he be- came a regular at home games and pep sessions with his famous cougar cheer. future teachers of america debra bradfield, area one vice-president; pam jones, assistant secretary; mr. colborne, sponsor; debbie schreiber, vice-presi- dent; sue moore, historian; sue porter, treasurer; betty brown, president; kathy akin, secretary; debbie biehl, reporter. this year fta, the future teachers of america, con- tinued many of its established practices, meetings consisted of speakers connected in some way with education, the club still employed the use of a point system, whereby the members collect points — by grading papers, lecturing before a group, and at- tending meetings, etc. — which earned them mem- bership pins and bars, it hosted an area meeting, where varied schools in the area met to exchange ideas and elect new area officers, many of whom would run for state offices, two students from new prairie — martha bowell, miss fta, and pam jones, corresponding secretary-treasurer — won area of- fices. another new prairie student, debra bradfield, held the office of area vice-president in 1969. in the spring, fta members attended a state convention and also visited indiana state university in terre haute. first row: gait shock, charlene van schoyck, sherri king, carol wagner, brenda anders, penny pomeroy, debbie adnson, cheryl van schoyck, pam oberholtzer. second row: penny richardson, wendy jones, lorri wozniak, april eskridge, diane sacks, tina loucks, lerri hansen. third row: joann fouty, terri flitter, chuck szylagi, david jandrisovils, michelle dailey, Su- san todd, pat lachowin. iir t row: martha bowell, diane met ner, diana medonnough, barb golubski, marsha bell, barb miller, becky schroeder, roberta faulstich, paula depoy. second row: diane rehlander, barb nelson, diane vermillion, sue white, helen hansen, car- la mcdonald, diane johnson, eva Wallace, third row: judy gilpin, gail deutscher, sue cuff, ray bealor, annette dewit, diane fischer, chris gadaez. fourth row: debbie vollmer, yvonno zolman, marsha belsaas, julaine nelson, darla gesse, lavon har- diman, cheryl paul, sheila smith, fifth row warren carpenter, mike quinn, chuck haverstock, mike foster, jerry bratcher, mary ann leinhart, bob breaux. yearbook first row: carol de pov, diana me donnough, barb miller, vicki jones, becky schroeder, paula de poy, debbie nickerson. second row: terri wozniak, patii skaggs, cathv zahl, annetie de wit, pam jones, debbie parry, third row: margo bryant, paul dickie, sue moore, nan harding, sheila smith, scott amen, nancy houk. this year the yearbook staff had an extremely difficult task, it was decided to have a spring distribution of the books, which meant long hours of hard work to meet the final deadline of feb- ruary 23. there were pictures to be tak- en, captions to write, and copywriting to be done, after the yearbook itself was completed, the staff was kept busy producing a summer supplement. chris gadaez, business manager; debbie schrei- ber, advertising manager; sue porter, judy thompson, co-editors. track fir st row: rich dodd, stove warren, paul dickie, gordon smith, rich simpson, bob breaux, wayne martensen, Steve rzepka, jim noel. second row: coach blaine gamble, gordon brickey, bruce harbor, dave burkus, robert hennen, ron toth, louie zelasko, kenny jones, kenny buss, don toth, dave manges, coach russ flatt. third row: terry garoutte, dale belsaas, steve markley, mike engel, bob deer, dan troxell. bruce nickerson, doug dodd, jim banaszak, dave brasseur, paul troxell. coach blaine gamble's tracksters really assaulted the record books as they romped to another suc- cessful season, nine records were shattered by the eager speedsters. undoubtedly the greatest story was the Cinderella half-mile relay team, the ace sprinters copped the rochester relays trophy in a tune-up for the confer- ence meet, this meet brought together three talent- ed relay teams: new prairie, la ville, and jimtown. Steve rzepka led off with a bolt of speed as he fought his way between a pair of rival runners, wayne mar- tensen took a perfect hand-off and increased the margin, bob breaux delighted n.p. fans with his ef- fort and rich simpson brought home the baton in victory, these seniors clipped the conference relay mark by eight tenths of a second as they turned in a 1:36.5 time. gordon smith, who was named the most improved runner, staged a tremendous kick in the final lap to win the conference mile, wayne martensen, who holds the conference mark in the 440, successfully defended his title in that event. led by captain rich simpson, many seniors contrib- uted to the success of the team, bob breaux won the most valuable trophy for scoring the most points and set records in the 100 and 220. wayne martensen was a regular winner in the 440 and ran the mile relay, mike quinn could be counted on in the two-mile run. steve rzepka led off the 880 relay and steve warren doubled in the high and low hurdles. field events will be hard-hit by graduation, jim noel and rich dodd, both vaulters, were four letter winners in track, paul dickie set the indoor long jump record. these seniors helped fashion a track tradition at new prairie and they are confident their efforts will serve as an inspiration to underclassmen to strive for even better results. golf 'Mvm first row: coach leon adnson, rick thompson, stove bealor, ron bendicks, roger teska, scott joslin. second row: terry Stockton, tom kempf, tom Stockton, dan hertzberg, dong hammond, stove mann, tim marker, martin smith. unseason.il snow squalls greatly hampered the links activities of coach leon adnson's golfers, com- pounded with the weather restrictions was the fact that coach adnson faced a monumental rebuilding effort due to the loss by graduation of several veter- an performers. Steve bealor was named the most valuable golfer by virtue of his 42.9 average score, scott joslin, tom Stockton, roger teska, and ron bendicks earned their letters in golf this season, hopes are high for future years as none of these boys graduated this year. the team finished a respectable third in northern state conference play and compiled a 5-6 record for the entire season, their scores were favorable throughout the season and this young team showed steady progress throughout the season. baseball first row: mike daley, bob keck, judd hill, dave dodd, wait kulasa, chris wykoff, dan shead, ray nickerson, Steve tolmen. second row: coach harry tolmen, mike miller, jeff schroeder, larry shead, doug schmeltz, don hetrzberg, bob deutscher, bob calhoun, dave nickerson, dan rush, mark galloway, matty bush, coach bill lynch, bruce eastman. seniors dominated coach harry tolmen's baseball team which took on a hefty league schedule and emerged with eight wins against nine losses. chris wykoff was named captain of the diamond- men and he was also recipient of the bill strong sportsmanship trophy. judd hill was an excellent target for the mound corps and he wasn't opposed to blocking the plate when called upon to wipe out potential enemy scorers. ray nickerson used his huge size to great advan- tage as he handled first base chores with finesse, his very presence lent encouragement to his mates who were confident he could scoop up anything in sight of the initital sack. wally kulasa, of the rifle arm, was named to all- conference honors for his ability to patrol center field and to get the ball back into the infield with great haste. dave dodd was a good hard-nosed second base- man who wasn't afraid to charge the ball and would play the long hop rather than to wait for dribblers to come his way. dan shead was rightfully named as an all-confer- ence pitcher, he sported a .434 batting average in the conference to help his own cause — pitchers are usually notoriously inept hitters. john glenn furnished the opposition in the first game ever to be played on our own diamond, the cougars emerged victorious with dan shead racking up a 6-4 win. shead also had the honor of scoring the first run over our new home plate. prom new Orleans' most gala affair — the mardi gras — was brought to n.p.h.s. this spring by the junior class, the prom broke with tradi- tion in two aspects; first, it was held on a friday night rather than a Saturday, and, secondly, the entertainment after the movie was provided by a professional magician, these differing features, combined with a day at the beach as an aftermath, effected a week- end not only memorable, but enchanting as well. 1970 chris wykoff, bonnie paul, rich dodd, nan harding, debbie schreiber, wally kulasa. prom royalty senior week ' 1 ■ 1. class of '70 front row: lorea heise, sharon tipton, james walbert, mike foster, bob breaux, barb miller, julie Zielinski, sieve ncumann, john borkowski, diana me donnouRh. back row: vicki jones, nancy hayter, lorn kempf, dave jandrisovils, marsha belsaas, Rary sheeley, tony heims. all school play open 7 a.m.-9:30 p.m. 778-2411 n.p.h.s. presented as its first all- school play, the night of january 16 . directed by william haselton, this production was unique in that the entire play took place in the courtroom with the audience partic- ipating as the jury. art's 66 service u-haul trailers located byron rd us 20 rolling prairie complete auto repair including air conditioning we give t v stamps national honor society first row: mary lewis, pam steed, roberta faulstich, marsha ekstrom, mark costello, marsha belt, diane met ner, martha bowed, second row: barb crum, shirley gamble, diane vermillion, debbie biehl, joe weinstock, robert hennen, lee ann lynch, barb miller, Christine bladecki. third row: nancy hayter, larry gayton, lavon hardiman, darla gesse, diane fischer, judy gilpin, pam jones, Christine adacz. fourth row: Steve neumann, betty brown, yvonne olman, ray bealor, rich dodd, laura beyer, debbie parry, annette de wit. fifth row: marsha belsaas, sehila smith, scott amen, chris wykoff, tom ludwig, ed cenkush, bryan flora, dennis higgins. members of nhs must pos- sess a 3.0 or better average and none can receive any grade lower than a c for a semester average, the teach- ers of new prairie, who were given a list of students apply- ing for membership, select- ed thirty new members — nine seniors and twenty-one juniors, together with the seventeen old” members, this gave the club a total of forty-seven students. shiela smith, treasurer;

a group that provided many fine concerts throughout the year. 45 lettermen bruce nickerson, vice-president; rich dodd, president; gor- don smith, secretary; bryan flora, treasurer; judd hill, ser- geant-at-arms;

writing overdue slips and notifying students; collecting fines; stapling together library pass stubs to be returned to the issuing teacher at the end of the day; replacing returned books on the shelves to give students easy access; making a circulation re- port at the end of each day; posting a circulation report on a weekly circulation card; keeping each section of the library in order; keeping magazines in the back room ready for easy reference; checking all books as they are returned and mending them if necessary; writing letters to sources dealing with audio-visual aids for the students; helping fellow students find information quickly and easily. the cooperation of the librarians helps to maintain the high standards of our library and at the same time benefits the librarian by learning what informa- tion the library has to offer and where to find it. 48 student council rsf row;

cheer about as they sped to a winning season, undaunted by the loss of several stalwarts due to graduation, the boys quickly became a smooth functioning machine and put on some great displays, much to the delight of the fans. it was unheralded robert hennen who furnished the heroics in the thrilling win over south central, the game was apparently going to end in a scoreless tie when hennen was called on with less than a min- ute to play, he was hit on the six yard line, broke a tackle, and squirted into the end zone for the only score of the game, this refusal to quit became a sym- bol of the 1969 cougars, and they amassed an im- pressive list of individual and team honors: .. . wally kulasa's seeming to have intuitive in- stinct for playing pass defense, which resulted in manv key interceptions ... bill coddens's bulling his way through enemy lines when valuable yards were needed ... ray nickerson's smothering errant backs who unwisely chose to invade his defensive domain ... wayne martensen's making a 98-yard sprint in the laville game ... ed cenkush's consistently defy- ing punters to get one away by blocking more than his share ... mike engel's roaming all over the place on defense and leading in tackles ... terry cserpes's following his blocking and giving us numerous scores .. . bruce nickerson's breaking the knox game open when he leaped high to intercept a pass just as the redskins were threatening an upset ... george deutscher's being one of those “unsung heroes except in the eyes of the coaching staff ... chuck haverstock's pouncing on a fumble against concord to preserve a string of shutouts and main- tain the pride engineered by the defensive unit. yes, it was a good season, it was good because these were team victories and individual efforts but also vital parts in an intricate grid machine, this is the way coach lynch wanted it and that is the way he got it from the dedicated cougars of 1969. jerry bratcher ends 6-1 180 sr. ray

league foes and finishing as the lone team to be undefeated. john glenn was the first step along our path to cir- cuit honors, they succumbed to our sharpshooters by a decisive 79-50 margin, dan troxell, a junior, had a good night for our cagers ... jim noel took indi- vidual scoring honors on numerous occasions, but he put on his best performance in the river valley game, todd noble got 41 for the valley five and jim bested him with 46 — five being the margin of victo- ry ... bruce nickerson helped smash the laville jinx as he pulled in 28 rebounds to set a school record in that

on target long after the final buzzer. chris wykoff is one of those handy men who will be missed by coach leon adnson next year, this se- nior scrapper has a fast pair of defensive hands that can break up a ball team that gets lax. rich dodd's rebounding ability won respect from opposing players who held a height advantage only to have the talented jumper outleap them for the ball, dennis higgins and dan vermillion were always available for duty and helped whenever they were needed, popular lew plumback inspired his fans to set up that familiar chant which more or less became a battle

year for the b-team. they opened with a defeat at triton, but came back with a six-game winning streak, one of the most thrilling of their contests was the victory over south bend clay by a few points, the boys put on a fine showing in the last game of the season at concord, downing the minutemen by 18 points, 52-34. under the leadership of coach olsen and captain larry shead, the squad finished their season with a sparkling 15-5 record. 63 wrestling first row jerry colanese, vince neal, (lave neal, jim oliver, gordon smith, alien dewit, bruce eastman. second row: alien jones, ron

south, gary miller. our cougar wrestlers compiled a respectable sea- son record this past year and also earned some indi- vidual honors which will go into the books as out- standing performances. brett south upset some highly touted competitors in the 165-pound weight class to gain a gold medal in northern state conference, judd hill racked up a total of 36 points in dual meet competition to lead his mates in that area, vince neal earned 35 for a close second, neal also boats a 45 win 7 loss career mark in four years of varsity work, this trio will be sorely missed by coach don kane when he issues the call to duty next season. added to this are the losses of ed cenkush, dave dodd, and george deutscher, also seniors, who were reliable point getters all year. the eternal optimist, coach kane is confident he will field a powerful team in the future, he is pinning many of his hopes on mike engel, a talented sopho- more, who lost a heartbreaking 1-0 decision in the second round of the sectional to the topseeded man in his weight class. 64 cross country front row: coach blaine gamble, brucc harber, john sinka, louie zelasko, gordon smith, don hammond, ken buss, mark bromley. back row: bob deer, doug me guire, mark schnurle, dan troxell, bob calhoun, jim banaszak, bob deutscher. captain gordon smith and his runners had some pleasant experiences on the cross country courses last season, the team was dominated by underclass- men with bruce harber, a sophomore earning the most valuable award. perhaps the most thrilling event of the season was the impressive win of new prairie over south bend clay, central, and st. joseph in a meet run over our own course, from a personal standpoint, this victory meant much to the boys as it was run over a course they helped to lay out themselves and was designed to offer a challenge to all competitors. new prairie also hosted the largest cross country meet in northern indiana with 26 teams participat- ing. this will be an annual event and should do much to stimulate interest in this fall sport. gordon smith, jim banaszak, bob deer, bruce har- ber, louis zelasko, bob deutscher, and dan troxell earned letters for the 1969 season, smith and harber also received plaques from coach blaine gamble for running in excess of 250 miles on their own during the summer months. 65 swimming fop john sinka, brent miller, bruce goodson, bruce dickie, ron bendix, jeff beyer, mark bromley, scon joslin, bob cenkush, kim sauers, bob keck, jerry batcher, coach art rose, middle: mark costello, dave burkus, mike houser, terry garoutte, bob Hawkins, alan cowham, ran- dy rudecki. silling: bruce Stoner, neil loucks, ken schell, larry norris. if enthusiasm and intense interest are any mea- sures of predicted success, the future of swimming as a varsity sport at new prairie is very bright, in their initial season the swimmers, under coach arthur rose, showed steady progress and compiled some respectable school records before the end of the year. although the team w-as dominated by underclass- men who gained valuable experience this year, and w'ill be available for service in the future, several se- niors contributed their talents to the team, jerry bratcher won his share of blue ribbons as did judd hill and randy lucas. indiana has long been a power in competitive swimming and has furnished many gold medalists in Olympics, with our new pool and the genuine desire of our swimmers, it is entirely possible that some future star will have obtained his background at new prairie. 66 agriculture general

tom ludwig, president; shirley gamble. the class of 71 anxiously awaits its chance to be- come seniors, soon they will be entering their last, confusing, sad, happy, enlightening, and meaningful year at new prairie. their accomplishments were numerous; the most notable being the memorable prom they gave the class of 70. others included the winning of the foot- ball season homecoming float, and the triumph of being the first class to win the spirit stick of 1969. as were all former junior classes, they were proud of their rings, and rightfully so. wearing them, the juniors feel that they gained a life-long link with new prairie high school. as the end of this school year approached, the ju- niors became more and more aware of the fact that important decisions concerning their futures must be made, this, coupled with the everpresent spirit of competition and the taking of many important tests for the college-bound students, made the junior year one of the most progressive and confusing years in a student's life. ben ackerman mike adams kathy akin betty albertson lynn anderson 122 dan artist randy bailey lyle baker jim banaszak cyndy bartoszewicz Virginia baughman ray bealor ray becker laura beyer cookie bilinski john borkowski martha bowell Charles bowker marlene boyts debbie bradfield dave brasseur dennis brewer diane brewer mark bromley rick brugh norene buss rick buzalski janice calhoun bob carlton roger carlton davecarr bill coddens jim cooreman janecooreman mark costello barb crum joecuson dan davis sharon davis john deckard bob deer pat demeyer annette dewit linda diedrich bruce dickie 123 doug dodd leona doerschcr karcn dolph leslic dolph maria castman robin eckert marsha ekstrom rodney eskridge dianne fischer rondi flagg larry foster nick galvas shirley gamble darla gesse bruce giles drew gilpin john ginter barb golubski bruce goodson rick gourley gail graezyk juanila green patti green barry halter pat hannon charlle hansen helen hanson lavon hardiman mike harris jo ellen heminger robert hennen mike hoggard chris hunt dave jess we in diane johnson jeff johnson keith johnson rich johnson gerald jonas alice jones 124 alien jones guy jones pam jones scott joslin pete karninski karen kaufman bob keck barb kegebein dennis kelley becky kelley diana kettring gail kindig randy kleine bill kopkowski judy kulwicki charmaine land phil land gary lange nancy lapaich lynn sue lepley mary lewis mary ann lienhart chris litza sarah loop tom ludwig cookie lynch Charles maesch debbie main donna marchand mary martensen kathy martz diane metzner henry meyers herman meyers carl miller gary miller mike miller peggy miller barb mitchell dan mitchell 125 margot montemayor sue moore vvilma moore sue murphy darrell myers gary mccleland garald mccullough carla mcdonald linda nagy dennis nalepinski dave neal barb nelson julaine nelson bruce nickerson janet niespodziany larry norris terry norris tom obrien lewis oldham linda ostroski debbie peterson janet peterson debbie petree larry petree gerard pizark lewis plumbeck glen quirk sue raines diane rehlander debbie robinson tom roesner rodney rosenbaum jeanne ryder paulscales jeanne schroeder chuck schwark theresa scott rosemarie seibert jay seniff donna shock 126 john sinka ray sipes judy sipotz patty skaggs mike skaggs julie small bob stacy joan stanish tina Stroud john stultz karen surma bill sutton roger teska greg thoman steve thomas curtis thompson diana thompson steve tolmen lester toothman dan troxell pat truex jeff tuholski peggy upp diane vermillion frances vermilyer deb vollmer jim walbert lynn walker joe ward rose warfield cliff warner jim warren dale watkins linda wawrzynski sandra wawrzynski mike weeden joe weinstock sue white gladys wiltfong jack woodruff 127 gary wordinger tom yeater ray zakrzewski linda zarobinski chris zelasko pat zloza exchange students karen kaufman, ila zondrozny, pat cevallos. this year new prairie was fortunate enough to have two exchange students, both girls were from south america, ila being from brazil and pat from peru. while in the united states, the girls made their home with mr. and mrs. kenneth kaufman and family. 128 class of '70 1970 will be a harbinger of dif- ferent thoughts and new ideas for the upcoming decade, it also brings the graduation of this group, the senior class of new prairie high school. past accomplishments are numerous, we had more than our share of scholars, leaders, and athletes, their feats in leadership, scholarship, service, and competi- tion made the entire school proud, but most of all, the seniors felt a tremendous pride in the accomplishments of our friends and classmates. as we end a phase of our lives, we feel that we have had the time of our lives. the middle of our junior year brought the confusion of actual consilidation. we combined well, we put on a prom and had a great time; we claimed two national merit finalists; our senior domi- nated football team had a winning season; our basketball team claimed the title of northern state conference champions; confer- ence champs in every sport were members of our ranks. we made many deep friend- ships, which time will test, and shared laughs, tears, joy, sorrow, fun, and trouble, as we leave nphs, we can w'ish for those w'ho follow no more than to enjoy it as much as we did. debbie parry, secretary;
