She has been an outstanding personality in our school the past two years. Mrs. Pipher originated and directed the first gym show for Niantic-Harristown High School which was followed by another fine exhibition of talent and hard work this year. She was responsible for the first homecoming float parade and alumni tea. Mrs. Pipher also organized the first G.A.A. Mother-Daughter Banquet. We wish to express our appreciation to her for her friendliness, guidance, understanding, and patience not only as a physical education instructor, but also as a true friend. 4 Board of Education The Board of Education, headed by Mr. Carl Dunn, is the governing body of Niantic-Harristown Community Unit School District 6. Its duties are legion and the time devoted to the many problems is immeasurable. Beside the usual duties of seeing that the schools run in an efficient manner, that an adequate staff is provided and that the buildings are kept in good condition, the Board has had the added task of overseeing the building and remodeling program. We wish to express our appreciation to these men who assume these many responsibilities. 6 Carl Brock, Herschel Pricchect, Kenneth Rankin, Secretary; Carl Dunn, President; William Davis, Donald Bruce, Clyde Dial Superintendent To Mr. Gardner we owe our sincere thanks for the great advances Niantic-Harristown has made in recent years.

The cooks, headed by Mrs. Emmett Cunningham, have capably handled their job of planning and preparing meals for the students. The janitors have done a fine job in performing their many tasks in keeping the school neat and clean. The bus drivers deserve much credit forgetting the students to school safely and on time.

This three-act farce comedy centered around the psychoanalysis of the members of the Huntington family by their daughter, Laurie. Laurie was a college sophomore, home for the summer, who was experi- encing that certain elation which comes with prying into people's minds. Her parents, Sid and Martha, and her brother, Wally (whose only problem was his one-and-only, Joan Wood), all fell unfortunate and unsuspecting victims to her analysis. When Wally discovered, by chance, Laurie's professional notes, Assets and Liabilities of the Huntingtons, the family was thrown into a mad rage, revenge being their only thought. To get even with Laurie, her family plotted to embarrass her when she came home from a date with Mark Bradford. Mark was a fellow college student, and he and Laurie had only recently taken an interest in each other. By ridiculing all of her professional methods, such as work association tests,” Ink Blot Tests,” and finally a “purge dance, they succeeded in driving Mark away and unintentionally caused Laurie to run away from home. To all this confusion was added the hilarious love affair of Miss Gustavesky, the Huntington maid, with Mr. Honeywell, a bird fancier. A satire of psy- chology testing was also enacted during the tea party scene when five catty matrons, friends of Martha’s had their inner personalities exposed to them through Laurie’s Zombrowski Ink Blot Test.” All during the play, an arch-rivalry between Sid and Ted Wood existed. Ted, Joan’s father, was a competitive car salesman, and the two men ultimately square off' in a paint brush fight which added to the hilarity of the situation. In the end, Laurie returned home, came down to earth, and was forgiven by everyone, including Mark. Wally and Joan patched up all their differences, Miss Gustavesky landed Mr. Honeywell, the Woods and Huntingtons became best of friends, and . . . the little dog laughed to see such sport!” Cast of Characters Laurie Huntington................

Pink and white walls decorated the ballroom of the Decatur Elks Club as big pink tissue balls and glittery pink stars hung from the cloud-like ceiling. The gala event seemed to be truly Some Enchanted Evening as engraved hearts and initialed tie-tacks awaited the senior guests. Featured on the banquet menu were baked steak, tossed salad, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls and butter, sherbet and beverages. When everyone had completed his meal, Ron Chamberlain, the Master of Ceremonies, welcomed the guests of honor and introduced Ann Travis, who presented the toast to the seniors. Joe Speasl responded to Ann's toast and Ron introduced Jim Jones who read the Senior Class History. Nancy Brox presented the Class Will and Dan Heden- berg read the Class Prophecy. After an intermission of an hour, during which time dates were met, Bill Cellini’s band aroused dancing spirits and continued to keep the pace of the dance in stride with everyone's feelings. During intermission. Bob Koonce and Judy Fluegge were crowned King and Queen of the Junior-Senior Prom of 1963. The dancing finally came to a halt at 12 and everyone left to change clothes for the after-prom party still in store. At 1 a.m. the group met at the Pershing Bowl where they bowled, played cards, and ate. With all these memories neatly tucked in their minds, all went home for a day of rest, with the feeling of having truly experienced Some Enchanted Evening.” Queen Judy Fluegge and King Bob Koonce being crowned by Ron Chamberlain.

The Junior Class presented the three-act comedy No More Homework on April 29 under the direc- tion of Mrs. Chance. When Pamela Jones, characterized by Martha Cropper, was elected Student Council president, never did she foresee having to make the 1,001 de- cisions required of a school principal. Should she abolish homework? Should she stand behind an unpopular teacher? Should she keep the school's star athlete out of the state basketball tournament for disciplinary reasons? These are only a few headaches that confront Pam and her boy friend, Buzz Bailey, played by Jerry Myers, who unexpectedly finds him- self doubling as vice-president and Home Ec teacher, with an omelette in one hand and a dress pattern in the other. Romance kicks up its lovely heels, too, in this merry turnabout. Who would have ever imagined that “Tick Toe, Darrel Lake, the janitor, would eventually dominate Mrs. Ratchet, or Margaret Parish, the demon scrub lady who —everyone suspected — rode home each night on her broomstick? Or that somebody would accidentally lock a Limburger cheese sandwich in the trunkful of costumes for Rusty Wings, the school play? All of these things — and more —keep acting-principal Pamela Jones in a whirl! One complication swiftly leads to another! Before long, the entire school seems upside-down. and everybody— but everybody —is down on her. Then somehow, with the return of Mr. Lundquist, played by Dan Alsup, the real principal, situations manage to right themselves; and Pam and Buzz and the rest of the school return to normal. This was the first class play ever presented in the new gymnasium and was unique in the fact that it was presented little theater style on the gym floor with the audience on all sides.

The National Honor Society is based on the four qualities: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Membership in the society is based on the student’s attainments in these qualities, and Niantic-Harristown High School confers no higher honor than membership in this organization. Students who meet the requirements of the Honor Society are received as probationary members at the end of their sopho- more year. If their standards are maintained, the candidates are received as permanent members at the end of their junior year. The members are honored each year by the Board of Edu- cation with a banquet and an evening of entertainment. 39 Co-Editors Judy Fluegge and Sue Parish SF.ATED: J. Trusner, N. Brix, D. Ramsey, S.

J. Wible of Mt. Pulaski. Five hundred to nine hundred copies of each edition were circulated through the com- munity and sent to distant alumni without charge. The “Tattler” was financed through the sale of adver- tising to businessmen in this, and neighboring com- munities. 40 SITTING: D. Embrey, C. Dunnaway, D. Ramsey, S. Stahl, J. Ubbenga, N. Hawkins.

This group, composed of students from grades seven through twelve, provides music for various school and community functions and each year presents a Christmas and Spring Con- cert. This year the band sold basketball schedule pencils and candy to help finance the cost of the new uniforms. Under the most able direction of Mr. Richard Dunscomb, the band participated in the solo and en- semble competition and won more superiors than any school in the county. The band also won a superior rating in the band competition for the eighth consecutive year. Our band was the only band in Macon County to win a superior this year. The governing body of the band is the Tribunal. It is composed of band officers and a representative from each class. The Tribunal works with Mr. Dumscomb on matters concerning the activities of all four band organizations. Tribunal Mr. Dunscomb, D.

Senior Bund Members The eight senior members of the Niantic Harristown Bands are pictured above with some of the trophies they have acquired the past six years. These trophies are band superiors and Governor's Trophies. There is not sufficient room on this page, however, to picture all of their awards. Each of the seniors has achieved an outstanding record in solo and ensemble contests, served as Tribunal members, and participated in special band programs. With the aid of the other band members and Mr. Dunscomb, they have made the N.H.H.S. Bands, organiza- tions of which we can certainly be proud. Chorus The Niantic-Harristown Chorus, under the di- rection of Mrs. Ruth Smith, is comprised of high school students who are interested in group singing. Choral work helps the student to develop a better appreciation of music as well as to gain a deeper understanding of music. The chorus and ensembles performed at Thanksgiving Vespers and a P.T.A. meeting as well as at the dedication of the new gym. Several ensembles and soloists competed in the State Solo and Ensemble Contest. The chorus also partici- pated in the Macon County Chorus Festival where a mass choir, consisting of all the members of the choruses in Macon County, gave a concert. The top members of the different sections in all the choruses were chosen to sing in the Honor Choir. A student who sings in the chorus has an oppor- tunity to get the valuable experience of group par- ticipation which he might not have otherwise experienced. FIRST ROW: A. Myers, J.

The team’s big problem this year was offense. Despite this setback, Coach Merlin Jones whipped the boys into one of the strongest defensive teams in the conference. This strong point accounted for several of the close games that the faithful Niantic fans observed. The Indians will lose six lettermen by graduation. Nevertheless, Coach Jones pre- dicts a good team next year “if we get good men, who will do their jobs, to fill the vacancies.” In the last game of the season against Lovington, the Indians donned their new gold jerseys and played a good game against a very well organized opposition. Hopes are high for the Indians next year as several fine sophomores and juniors pre- pare themselves for the gridiron season to come. D. Hedenberg, D Delaney, R. Lane, J. Speasl, B.

Varsity Basketball The Indians in their first year under Coach Ron Jump were only able to win 10 of their 22 games. Out of these ten victories came impressive wins over Lovington, Assumption, Nokomis, and Williamsville. In their victory over Williamsville, Niantic stopped a winning streak of 20 games by defeating them by a score of 58 to 52. For the first time in five years, Niantic was de- feated in the district tournament by Cerro Gordo to end its season for 1962-63. Coach Jump FIRST ROW: P Mauldmg, D. Conaway, T. Lengsfeld, A.

They got off to a bad start, losing six of their first nine games, but then caught fire and won ten games in a row before dropping the last two games of the Freshman-Sophomore tournament at Bethany. There were only two boys on the squad with any previous Jr. Varsity experience. The prospect for another successful varsity year is brightened by these hard-working young men. 64 Coach Jones KNEELING: D. Parish, M. Gallagher, J. Durtlingcr, D. Thomas, J. Etchison.

T rack Because of a shortage of team members the Niantic-Harristown track team was greatly handicapped during the 1963 season. The team consisted of three seniors, four juniors, three sophomores, and two freshmen. Although short in man- power the team showed drive and determination. During the season the Indians set two school records. One record was set by Dan Hedenberg in the pole vault. Dan vaulted over 10 feet 3 inches. The second record was set by the mile relay team of Dan Sigmon, Dan Gietl, Ray Robinson, and Roy Lane. In winning the Macon County and Meridian Conference mile relays, the team posted a best time of 3:39.5. The team was capably coached by Ron Jump. Baseball In the spring of 1963 the N.H.H.S. Baseball squad ended its season with a 3-6 record, nearly a .300 season, and many times showed great promise for the future. The Indians should have even a better season next year as nearly all the lettermen are returning. The Indians were coached by Mr. John Swart. D. Delaney and Coach Swart. FIRST ROW: R. Walton, J.

However, throughout the season they exhibited a great desire to win and an all-out effort to play their best. The cheerleaders also have done a very fine job. They supported the team and created enthusiasm throughout the school. Cinda Damery, Jo Robinson, Jackie Fearn, Peggie Phelan, Karen Childers, Judy Sebok. B” Squad FIRST ROW: J. Gunnels, S.
