One difference between them is that in the big, wide world, no one saves us a place in line. To get one, we must fight for it, compete against many other determined people. Life is competition and every person a competitor from the moment he is bom until he dies. A newborn baby is a competitor, struggling against nature for survival, and, as he grows up, he finds that to get anything, he must compete for it. Perhaps he wants his mother’s attention, his neighbor’s sandpail, a new bicycle, a paper route. Later it’s a place on the basketball team, a girl or boy friend, a part in a play. Whatever his desire, he can only realize it by struggling for it. The world, whether symbolized by London, Tibet or Okemos, is a bevy of rivals, each claiming the right of equal opportunity. Any normal individual begins his life with the ability to be a competitor. All he needs is the knowledge that he cannot remain static but must compete. To be successful in competing, however, to attain one’s objective, it is necessary to compete more effectively than one’s opponents. Life could be compared to a giant game of chess, with each player attempting to maneuver the others and to avoid being jumped. As in chess, to play the game well, one must know the rules and have had adequate practice. School might be considered the training ground, a miniature playing board for prospective competitors. It provides the incentive for rivalry, challenging students through many channels. In elementary school students are encouraged to study musical instruments. As they become more skilled, rivalry develops over chair positions in band or orchestra; contests arise for the greatest number of merits or demerits. Junior high and high school musicians attend district and state solo and ensemble festivals to compete against instrumentalists from different areas. Budding artists struggle to surpass one another, as well as Rembrandt and Picasso. Typists aim for 90 words a minute, and shorthand students experience a taste of the extremely competitive field of secretarial work. The manually-skilled contest for the best absence-slip holder or wood work in industrial arts classes. Extra-curricular activities, such as debate, language clubs, chess club, although not ultra-competitive at Okemos, stimulate competition. Drama Club is one of the obvious examples; all-school tryouts are held biannually for club plays. Competition is stiff, as there is always an excess of actors over parts. Athletics form perhaps the most popular type of competitive activity. The 1964 Olympics exemplified peaceful rivalry on a world-wide scale, with athletes competing for personal fame and the honor of their countries. School contests in wrestling, baseball, basketball and football compare physical prowess and spectator spirit and sportsmanship. Intra-school rivalry is encouraged at pep rallies and assemblies. The primary purpose of school, of course, is to inspire intellectual development. Desire for impressive scholastic achievement has become an impetus for intense competition. The overabundance of qualified college applicants has resulted in increased stress on high grades and scholastic aptitude. Students compete to achieve the 3.3 average necessary to join Honor Society. Michigan Math Prize Competition and the annual Science Fair afford occasions to compare scientific excellence. Students who intend to enter a profession may take co-operative training, attending classes in the morning and working in business or hospitals in the afternoon, to gain a realistic, unsheltered conception of actual competition. This year the yearbook staff members are also on co-op in order to learn about the publishing field. Graduation from high school or college does not herald the end of competition. One must then compete, for a job, compete to hold the job, run a business, make a profit, compete in every class and walk of life, from bricklaying to stock handling. Politics especially is noted for inspiring vicious competition, as was seen this year in the national election and, on a smaller scale, in the OHS mock election. In world politics, the East and West contend for top place, each trying to attain total victory for communism or democracy. Even love, the “gentle emotion,” is characterized by challenge. As Alexander Pope wrote, “What dire offense from amorous courses springs; what mighty contests rise from trivial things.” Throughout the school year, the spirit of competition grows from the trivial to the momentous, from the first day of school to the last. 2 Democratic, Republican Parties Engage in Fierce 4 . Political Campaigns 1. The intense competition of party conventions is evident in campaign sings at the Republican convention. 2. Lyndon B. Johnson and Hubert Humphrey, Democratic nominees, survive competition victoriously. 3. Republican nominees Barry Golduater and William Miller carry the Republican convention. 4. Michigan Govenor George Romney is welcomed at the Cow Palace. Romney was successful in his gubernatorial campaign, although not nominated for the presidency. 4. A national election is usually the most symbolic example of competition but the 1964 election did not run true to form, as most Americans felt the presidency automatically destined to the Democrats, represented by Lyndon Johnson. The Republican presidential primary evoked more suspense than the final run, as Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton, New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Arizona Senator Barry Gold-water fought for the presidential nomination. Goldwater’s stand was characterized by a statement made at the campaign’s beginning when he said, “You know we conservatives are great believers in the fact that human nature doesn’t change. The only thing you can do about history is try to make it better the twelfth or twentieth time around.’’ His means toward this end were to stop the trend toward socialism and an eventual “welfare state” which he saw threatened in Democratic control. Unfortunately his vote against the civil rights bill, stand towards more national defense and tactless criticisms of TVA in Tennessee and social security in Florida, combined to bring Lyndon Johnson a staggering victory. Johnson had refused to debate with Goldwater on the grounds that, being the incumbent, he could not divulge classified information to win a debate, so an actual comparison of the two men’s views was never presented to the public. Johnson, however, had the advantage of following the late President Kennedy. Although not a master in foreign affairs, Johnson proved his skill at handling Congress through the tax cut, civil rights bill and federal pay raise. His goal for America was the “Great Society.” He commented, “For half a century we called upon untiring industry to create an order of plenty for all our people. The challenge of the next half-century is whether we have the wisdom to use that wealth to enrich and elevate our national life and to advance the quality of American civilization.” Whether the majority of Americans voted for Johnson out of favor or from anti-Goldwaterism, the fact remains that Johnson won with 486 to 52 votes, a clear sign of public opinion. He took the East’s entire 142 electoral votes, became the first Democrat ever to carry Vermont, the first since 1912 to win Maine. Excepting Franklin Roosevelt’s 1936 victory, Johnson scored the highest electoral and popular vote margin in history. Barry Goldwater won only in the South and in his home state, Arizona. Johnson’s overwhelming victory swept many Democratic candidates for Congress, state legislatures and governorships as well. One of the few Republicans to emerge unscathed was Michigan’s Governor George Romney, who carried the state by more than 700,000 Michiganders. 5 y.

School competition officially began September 14, the first day of school for 612 Okemos High School students, an increase of over 55 high-schoolers from last year. Competitive events began immediately, the first football game occurring the Friday after school began. Cross Country meets were also held immediately after the opening of school. Members of both teams had competed for several weeks before school began for positions on the teams. Scholastically, seasoned OHS students faced new challenges through revised programs and a force of ten new teachers. Freshmen were confronted with new forms of teaching and class experience, competing with students older than themselves. Over 45 courses with over 130 sections were offered. The English Department provided an original English program not existing anywhere else in the state to challenge students. The courses were ungraded, members of different classes competing against each other. Students based course choice on reading and writing abilities. Advanced writing, the most advanced English course, allowed competition between 24 students from the freshman, junior and senior classes. In the sciences the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) and Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC) challenged biology and physics students through new approaches to scientific material. Chemistry classes were also taught by a new method, based on several approaches of chemistry programs similar to BSCS and PSSC. The various “looks” for the year competed, also, the English look generally winning out at OHS. From the beginning of the year, boys grew their hair longer, and girls wore theirs in soft, easy, sometimes straight styles, as opposed to last year’s “ratted” look. The English “mod” look came in for girls with textured nylons and small-heeled shoes, and the “rocker” influence was evident in the tight white levis worn this year by girls and the boys’ boots. As students began the year, they eagerly faced the competition, plunging into what the school had to offer scholastically, socially and athletically. 7 Through Perseverance, School Support, Zany Caricatures Symbolize Spirit Although the Chieftain football team was unable to meet the challenge rendered by its opponents, OHS spirit reached its peak this year. Pep signs dotted school walls urging the team to victory. Many of them, humorous Chieftain caricatures, became the school’s pictorial mascots during the football season. The unquenchable spirit culminated at the final game of the season, when the Chiefs were finally victorious, defeating archrival Haslett 25-20. Senior Tom Keller proved a powerful asset to the Chiefs, gaining over 100 yards rushing in each of the last three out of four games and completing 56 tackles. Junior Russ Boykin and senior Jay Guertin also proved valuable, each completing 39 tackles, while junior D.J. Drake executed 38 4. Other outstanding players were seniors Dave Premoe and Chuck Noth-stine and juniors Dick Vary, Rick Noblet and Kurt Hoysradt. American Government teacher David Jones, spending his first year at Okemos, coached the team, keeping spirit alive in spite of continuous losses. Coaching in collaboration with Mr. Jones was assistant coach Ken May, also teaching at OHS for the first time this year. The team elected Jay Guertin, Dave Premoe and Tom Keller tri-captains. Unusual perseverance of players in a losing season caused both players and coaches to be commended by the school board. Of 46 boys going out for the team, 40 remained playing despite the losses.

Reserve Gridders Complete Season With 3-3-1 Because its title denotes something less than superior quality or prime importance, a junior varsity or reserve team often receives less publicity before a game and fewer laurels afterwards. The significance of the reserve team should not be underrated, however. It serves as a training ground for prospective varsity players and provides also an opportunity for students to compete in athletic events who might not be considered competent to join a varsity team. Outstanding offensive players were sophomore Jay Breslin, high scorer; sophomore Larry Wheeler; and freshmen Tom Guthrie and Doug Diller. In the defensive unit, which was only scored on four times, Tom Guthrie was also the outstanding player, earning eleven stars. Stars were distributed to players on the defensive, or “killer” team, for such actions as recovering a fumble, intercepting a pass or for other outstanding plays. A new “merit” system was innovated by head coach Mr. David Schuele, in which players collected victory stripes, or “scalps,” in the color of the defeated school to wear on their helmets. Of the 38 boys composing the defensive and offensive teams, eight freshmen were starters. First row: John Patcnge. Dan Curtis, Jim Wiley. Mark Bremer. Bill McGlone. Don Ambrose. Bernie Chien.

In the past, a four-year English requisite program assured that every OHS student acquired an adequate English background. This year a new English system was adopted which offers a greater variety to students, with such classes as expository and creative writing, composition, business English, structures. These courses aim to develop in students the ability to write clearly and concisely and communicate effectively. Students of any grade may take as many as two of the non-graded courses but are not required to take any. It is debatable whether one can be taught to be a Steinbeck or Shakespeare, but those who are not inherently original or imaginative learn instead to recognize good writing through such classes as American, English and World Literature or short stories. Students in individual projects may read or write depending on their interest, as the class is oriented toward students who should work independently rather than in a group. An advanced placement English program is available for students complying to the grade requirements who wish to gain college credits. For those interested in extra reading, Mrs. Rachel Grinnell held a Good Book Seminar monthly. Students reviewed books by English, American and Norwegian authors and made individual reports on world religions at Christmas. The English department sponsored an English assembly March 10. Featuring folk singing, modern dance, American poetry and a radio play, senior Gary Weeber was Master of Ceremonies of the assembly. Mrs. Susan Smith, composition teacher, was chairman of the assembly, in which about 50 students from all classes participated. literature, Composition Courses Gary Weeber.

Classes Practice Forms of Mass Communication Prospective journalists experiment with the legendary “power of the pen” through the weekly OHS newspaper, the Drumbeat, edited by senior Dave Gustafson and sponsored by Miss Marcia Boznango. The class affords students the opportunity to learn the principles of good journalism by studying style and form from a journalism text as well as by actually publishing the newspaper. Newspaper publication is systematically handled. Each reporter gleans news from teachers and classmates on his “beat;” the copy is then edited, typed, arranged on a dummy, or imitation newspaper, stenciled by assistants and distributed to classes. Oration, accompanying journalism as a means of mass communication and manipulation, is practiced by Mrs. Carol Ford’s speech and drama students. Speech I students learn basic principles of public speaking, while Speech II students study debate and compose the debate team. The team, captained by senior Jay Guertin, debated this year against top class A school debate teams such as Everett, Sexton and Eastern. Drama students interpreted and produced plays, studied acting techniques, took field trips to an MSU play and MSU TV station and ushered for Community Circle Players. Students in any speech or drama class were eligible to enter the spring forensic contest. Mrs. Sharon Immel, who replaced Mrs. Ford during the second semester, chose two contestants for each category: humorous reading, oral interpretation, original oration and extemporaneous speaking. In May a statewide contest was held on a trial basis at the request of forensic coaches. Affirmative speaker Bruce Skidmore quotes nuclear weapons authority as negative opponents Tonnie Kissee and Joel El-linwood listen. 14 Doing Drumbeat art work on mimeoscopes are junior Karin Drown, staff member, and senior Jeff Caldeway. art assistant.

Second in Capital Circuit, “You think about how tired you are. You plan to run so fast before the meet, but when you run you get discouraged because you’re so tired. You push yourself as hard as you can. You run the first mile fast, the second as fast as you can to stay ahead of the others. But all the time you feel tired ...” Running cross country is exhausting, as can be seen from what one of the OHS players has said. But the team overcame that exhaustion this year, running an outstanding season. In Capital Circuit competition, the Chiefs finished second, Haslett taking first. In the 17-team Regionals, Okemos tied for third place with Charlotte. Sophomore Tom Yunck became one of the best runners Okemos has had, consistently breaking previous school course record-holder Jim Somers’ 11:17. Tom ran his fastest school course time, 10:34, at the Turkey Trot. His best time was recorded at Charlotte, where he ran 10:31. Tom finished eighteenth in the state meet with a 10:32 time. The intra-school Turkey Trot November 9 included both cross country and open classes. Team members Tom Yunck and Rick Neumann came in first and second, respectively, in the cross country class. Sophomore Dave Peets won first place in the open class; he was followed by senior Dave Kitsmiller. 16 First row: Dave Johnson. Tom Yunck, co-captain Pete Georg-iady, Itick Neumann.

Sponsoring the 1964 College Night October 6 was the first all-school project of the Okemos Chapter of the National Honor Society. Representatives from 18 Michigan colleges and Ohio Wesleyan University publicized the merits of their respective schools, informed students of application procedures, admission requirements, expenses and financial aid. Honor Society President Dave Winters, Vice-president Dave Brower, Secretary Bonnie Lantz, Student Parliament Representative Pat Douglas, and many Honor Society members served as guides for speakers, introducing them to students and parents. Following College Night, Honor Society organized a mock national election, heard Dr. John Taylor, philosophy professor give a sample college lecture. Dr. Virgil Scott, English professor and author of several books, lectured on creative writing, and a Peace Corps official discussed activities of the Peace Corps, requirements for becoming a member, and his experiences in the Corps. 18 lonor Society 2.

Freshman Jim Coe uses the heat treat furnace in shop. 20 Basic Manual Skills It is unfortunate that although most Okemos kindergarteners are well-informed about the OHS agriculture department, few high school students are. From their tours of the ag building, the children learn that ag students “do everything that most farmers do and more than some.” The 44 boys raise sheep, rabbits, hogs, chickens and bees. Chicken eggs and honey are sold for a profit, as are wheat and main crop com. All aspects of farming are handled by the boys. Even hay for the sheep is grown in a hayfield, part of the 25 acres of farmland utilized by the department. The school owns three tractors, and ag students include with crop growing buying, repairing and selling tractors. An orchard yields pears, apples and raspberries, while eight to ten gallons of syrup are tapped annually from the three-acre school wood. Many agriculture students belong to FFA, Future Farmers of America, sponsored by ag instructor Mr. Roland Cook. The club continues school agriculture, joins county and regional ag organizations and participates in farming activities. The industrial arts department is also relatively unknown, especially to girls, but offers skills applicable to life or a job. According to industrial arts teacher Mr. Edward Kapella, the general purpose of the department is to “make muscles obey an idea in mind.” Industrial Arts I, a general shop course; Industrial Arts II, emphasizing woodworking; general metals; Drafting I; and Drafting II are offered by the department. Each class consists of about 24 members. The shop is well-equipped, owning heat treat and crucible furnaces, 24-inch capacity and electric hand shears, two large benders, two metal lathes, an electric hand saw and a box and pan brake. Operating a hand saw daring fourth hour shop is freshman Brian Clifford. Freshman John Deitrieh practices drafting for the drafting unit in Industrial Arts I. wm Queen Kristin Powell and King Bob Graham descend from their thrones after being crowned by the 1963 royal couple.

Can- Royal Couple Kristin Oriental Play Themes Homecoming Dance 1964 Homecoming Weekend found the Chieftains unable to win the Homecoming game against Eaton Rapids in spite of a valiant attempt to follow the advice of the senior float slogan and “Can-a-lot of Greyhounds.” The brightest spot of the evening was the pre-game float presentation and half-time show, both based on the Homecoming theme, “Broadway.” Both the junior and senior high marching bands performed during the halftime show, after which the Queen Kristin Powell, her escort Joel Peterson, and her court composed of senior representatives Bonnie Lantz and Doug Delind; Cindy Wang and Marc Pruim, juniors; Kathy Keena and Jay Breslin, sophomores; and freshmen Marilyn Martin and Doug Diller were introduced. The following night, October 24, after being crowned by 1963 king and queen, Gary Sturk and Carol Wagenvoord, King Bob Graham and Kristin reigned over the Homecoming Dance, “Teahouse of the August Moon.” Dance decorators achieved an Oriental effect in the cafeteria with a paper dragon which extended across the lunch-line wall, Chinese Lanterns, fans on tables and a miniature rock garden. Pete Vander Waal’s Orchestra provided occidental music in spite of the atmosphere.

About 25 club and class representatives belonged to the organization. Freshman boys present a wrestling demonstration, the freshman contribution to the Community Services Day Assembly. 24 OHS students reverted to the archaic practice of slave-buying on Community Services Day, sponsored by Student Parliament October 29. Slaves Maureen Baker, Marilyn Martin and Doug DeLind were sold singly at the Community Sendees Assembly. Kirk Campbell and Chuck White carried their buyer to class on a stretcher, while Bob Graham was bought outright for $7 by counselor Dorothy Peterson for the senior girls. Staunch Republican Jay Guertin was sold to the democratic JAGS to publicize President Johnson all day. Student Parliament collected $105 for Community Chest from the slave sales and class skits. Senior boys paraded in a chorus line, juniors impersonated the Beatles, and freshmen presented a wrestling demonstration. Mr. John Bjorquist, Mr. Dan Cahill. Mr. Ron Westrate and Mr. Joseph Walbridge provided musical entertainment with a guitar-harmonica-voice ensemble. Under the leadership of President Dick Hill and sponsors Mrs. Betty Goldstein and Mr. Walbridge, Student Parliament also sold OHS sweatshirts and sponsored the annual Homecoming dance. Mr. John Bjorquist plays electric guitar as a part of a skit. Freshman Maureen Baker awaits day of drudgery as a slave. Slaves were sold by Chinese auction. 25 Bill Breckenfeld.

Mock Election Registration, Voting Procedures Students Choose Johnson, Romney Dems Hare, Hart, Kelley Elected The 1964 presidential election witnessed one of the most vicious campaigns in history. On a smaller scale, OHS held its own election October 30, less vicious but equally intense. The results of the mock election paralleled the national polling which followed, President Johnson defeating Senator Goldwater 272 to 159, although Ingham County has never before gone Democratic. On the local level, however, Governor Romney overwhelmed Neil Staebler, and excepting Senator Hart, Secretary of State Hare, and Attorney General Kelley, all Republican officials were elected. The mock election, sponsored by Honor Society, received support from social studies classes studying the candidates. To complement material taught in the history and government classes, Honor Society handled the election realistically with compulsory registration for voters and actual ballots and voting boothes. A campaign assembly was held where Dr. Charles Adrian, chairman of Michigan State’s political science department, discussed a political scientist’s view of voting, German exchange student Marlies Immler offered the European view of the election, and seniors Mark White, Brock Hotaling, and Jay Guertin gave campaign speeches. Politically-minded from all grades joined Gold-water Teens of Okemos (GTOs) or Johnson Association for Good Sense (JAGS) to back their candidates in one of the most fanatical exhibitions of loyalty and competitive spirit noted at OHS. Seniors Doug Richer and Henry Koch muse over validity of assembly speeches during the campaign. Students wave signs, cheer wildly during speeches. Loyal Democrats and Republicans contributed extensive vocal support to their parties. American History students discuss altitudes and abilities of Goldwater and Johnson in Mr. Ron Mott’s third hour class. Duplicate State Regulations Healed debate and spirited campaigning of national election are reflected in school life by JAG and GTO publicity. 27 Co-op Students Benefit Students Working Local Business Many students have always known what they wanted to be when they grew up — a doctor, banker, businessman. Because his time is occupied with school, the ordinary student often gets no actual work experience in his field of interest until after college. The newly-organized Haslett - Okemos cooperative training program, in which 16 Okemos students participate, gives students a chance to experiment with their preferred type of work. Students enrolled in the co-op program must demonstrate interest in and fitness for the desired work, be at least 16 years old and maintain passing grades in school until graduation. If the student does not adapt to his job, he may be transferred by co-op coordinator Mr. Albert Pender. Senior Dennis Steele pumps fjas at Standard station where he worked on co-op. Mark White, senior, sells ad to Goodwin's Fabrics. Mark worked in the ad department of the MSU State News. 28 Through Job Experience The co-op program offers many advantages to both students and the community. Students who might lie unable to continue school because of financial difficulty are aided by work wages; working builds self-reliance as well as introducing the student to the business world. Area businesses, such as DeLind’s Hardware, Joe’s Foodland, Lansing Sparrow Hospital, Eisenhower Construction, benefit also by receiving a “constant and systematic infusion of desirable beginners into store work.” Drafting machine parts is senior Steve Soltow, who worked at a tool and die manufacturing shop. kTv Senior Renee Runciman waits on a customer at Green’s in Frandor.

OHS Math Department Although the humanities remain an indispensable part of our curriculum, concentrated study of mathematics has been continually stresed since Russia’s launching of Sputnik I in 1957 which awakened American interest in science and mathematics. By 1958 American mathematicians had devised a new system of mathematics based on set theory. This “new math” has been taught in Okemos Schools since 1960 to each math class, beginning with Algebra I. OHS students are not required to take math, but counselors urge that at least three years be studied as a prerequisite for most universities. Algebra I, which introduces basic algebraic principles, is recommended for freshmen; presently the largest number of math students is enrolled in this class. The sequent course is usually geometry, a necessity for prospective engineers, offering properties of figures and use of the sextant and transit. Most juniors or seniors studying chemistry and physics elect Algebra II to add to the background gained in Algebra I. Trigonometry and Solid Geometry are offered also as semester courses. Honors math classes are accelerated and more advanced than regular classes. By fourth year the honors math student is studying fundamental mathematical theory, analytical geometry and logic; he is also introduced to calculus. Any student in grades nine to 12 is eligible to take the Michigan Math Prize Competition Test, sponsored by Michigan Colleges and Industries. The test consists of two parts; the top four per cent of students taking the first part may take the second. Of these, the top 50 receive college scholarships.

'Frantic Gyrations’ of Wild Dances Characterizt Seniors Bonnie Lantz and Sam Hughes enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Teen Center after a winning game. Hoots, howls, groans, the savage beat of drums, frantic gyrations, a dark mystic air symbolize not an African jungle but Teen Center on Friday night, with Beatle records blasting and teenagers dancing. Open after every football and basketball game where time permits until 11:30 p.m., Teen Center is held in the basement of the Okemos Community Church. Food, pingpong, a dance floor and records are provided for post-game entertainment. Students from all grades come stag or with dates; guests from other schools are admitted for the weekly 15c fee and are not required to buy a dollar season admittance card. For the past six years, Teen Center has been organized by the Teen Board, consisting this year of Sam Hughes, president; Ingrid Sturk, Pat Harmon, Beverly Smith and Dave Winters. The Board acts as mediator between the church and school, assuring that rules satisfying the church are formulated and conflicts are avoided. Every board member has an adult sponsor who attends meetings, takes care of the books, and communicates with the church. Sponsors are also responsible for writing letters to parents of students who disobey Teen Center rules. No smoking, drinking or use of harsh language is allowed in the church. Mrs. John Morris. Teen Center chaperone, sells refreshments. Besides soft drinks and potato chips, more substantial food, such as hot dogs is sold. 32 Veen Center Willow Weep for Me by Chad and Jeremy provides slow beat for dancers after the Howell game.

From 5000 books in 1962, the library now shelves 6500 books, and is continually adding to house more than the “adequate” 10 books per student. Miss Carol Lewis, recently graduated from Western Michigan University with a major in English and minor in library science, replaced Mrs. Mary Sheldon who retired last year, as Keeper of the Books for the OHS library. Aiding her are 16 student librarians who receive one-half credit for the job. Serving as librarian or library assistant entails more than the average layman realizes. The most obvious task is checking out and filing in books, but this in itself includes typing catalogue cards, cataloguing books, “processing” books, that is, opening, stamping, labeling, pasting in pockets; worn books must be mended or sent away for rebinding. Library personnel must double as paperback salesmen or display artists, making the library a convenient and attractive study for workers and browsers. Answering reference questions occupies much time and requires that the librarians have a thorough knowledge of the library’s contents. .4 torn booh receives the attention of Miss Carol Lewis, new OHS librarian, who replaced Mrs. Mary Sheldon. 35 Junior Dawn Weeber browses through a booh. Acting Talents Displayed in Night Must Fall’ The OHS Drama Club has the distinction of being the wealthiest club in the school, as a result of the variety and type of activities in which it engages. A fall and spring play are presented annually. A large profit was drawn on Emlyn William’s Night Must Fall, the fall production. The club’s first dramatic mystery, it starred Bonnie Lantz as Mrs. Bram-son; Mark White, Dan; Tonnie Kissee, Olivia Grayne; Irene Townsend, Mrs. Terence; Arlo Peterson, Detective Belsize; Dan Follette, Hubert Laurie; Fay Nosow, Nurse Libby; Denise Durst, Dora Parkoe; and was directed by club sponsor Carol Ford. Revenue from the 1963 musical Bye Bye Birdie exceeded $400. Club members have added to the treasury with commissions earned selling coupon books for MSU theater productions. Drama Club has invested its money in $350 worth of lights as well as numerous props and makeup. Playreading committees which are responsible for reviewing plays for the club have collected a 80-90 book library. In its two-year existence Drama Club has not only provided entertainment for the community through its productions but has contributed to the cultural advancement of the school. Cast and crew members investigate Lansing’s stock of second hand stores, study antiques, learn staging methods, how to handle lighting equipment, makeup techniques, and generally gain an insight into the theater. From reading, producing, and acting in a variety of plays, all involved acquire a higher degree of literary understanding and knowledge. Officers for the past year were Arlo Peterson, president; vice-president, Irene Townsend; secretary, Barb Vary; Dave Brower, treasurer; Student Parliament representative, Karen Beck; and historian Cathy Foster.

According to the late President Kennedy, the shocking physical debility of Americans is rendering them unable to meet this challenge. An extensive program of physical education is consequently of paramount importance in schools, which are responsible for developing American youth into healthy, alert adults. The OHS Physical Education Department offers students a variety of athletic activities to develop muscular strength, aid co-ordination and rhythmic sense, develop sound social and personal attitudes in students, encourage sociability, and generally further physical fitness. The girls physical education section offers field hockey, speedball, volleyball and modern dance. Gymnastics afford the girls an opportunity to become more limber, as do basketball, softball and track. Classes were instructed by Mrs. Catherine Tank, serving her first year as head of the girls’ physical education department. Under teachers Bob Baker and Ken May, freshman boys learn athletic fundamentals while advanced classes spend more time in actual competition. Soccer, speedball, cross country and football are fall sports available. During the winter, the boys play volleyball, basketball, wrestle and demonstrate gymnastic ability.

For the first time in 16 years, Okemos won the district finals. It was coach Bob Baker’s first district championship. In the first district game, the Chiefs defeated Haslett 65-59 in overtime, a tough game won by out-shooting the Vikings 10-4 in the extra period. Although nine points behind at the end of the third quarter, the Chiefs edged Gabriels 76-75 in the next game to win the district finals. Fenton, ranked first of class B teams by United Press International, was the first team the varsity faced in the regionals. Leading by four points at the half, the Chieftains were unable to handle the hardhitting Fenton five, who out-scored the Chiefs heavily in the third and fourth quarters to win 66-55. Fenton went on to win the regionals, but lost to state champion River Rouge in the quarterfinals. The Chiefs took second place in the Capital Circuit, behind Holt, the only league team to defeat them. In regular season play, OHS finished with a 15-3 slate, losing once to Jackson St. John. The Chiefs defeated the Gaels in one contest, though, by four points in overtime.

Coached by Mr. Doug Richey, math teacher, the J.V.’s made an 8-4 Capital Circuit record. They started the season slowly, winning only two of the first nine games. However, they finished well, winning all but one of the last seven games. In league play, the Little Chiefs were unable to defeat Mason in two meetings; in non-league play, they lost twice to Jack-son St. John. High scorers for the J.V. squad were sophomores Jay Breslin, Don Ambrose and Dick Ahti and freshman Mark Meadows. The freshmen earned a 10-4 Capital Circuit record, taking second place in the circuit. The frosh lost twice to circuit champs Mason and once each to Eaton Rapids and O’Rafferty. They scored 721 points for the season to their opponents’ 609, an average of 52-43 points a game. Junior Varsity Squad Splits Season, Freshmen -Junior varsity basketball team.

The brave musician smiles nervously at the judge, sitting imposingly in a comer, away from the prying eyes of anxious contestants and holding the formidable rating sheet. The room is quiet. You can’t just sit there. You consider apologizing to the judge and sneaking out, but you force your arm to move the slide. The first blow is the worst, but after it’s over, you want another chance to show the judge you deserve a I, not a II, III, IV or V. Competitive spirit at musical festivals ranks as high as at any athletic event. As Okemos tries to maintain its reputation for musical excellence, performing is even more of a challenge to OHS band and orchestra members. A high percentage of OHS contestants usually receive I, or outstanding, at District Festival in February and continue in March to the State Festival. In December, the bands and orchestra presented their first concert under the direction of Mr. Philip Hillstrom. The band’s format was changed this year to include a 48-piece freshman band and 85-piece symphony band, led by concertmaster Brock Hotal-ing. One freshman, tuba player Crs Caldewey, is a symphony band member. The orchestra is presently comprised of 37 members, of whom Barbara Vary is concertmistress. The freshman concert band prepares to play for its concert in December. 44 band and orchestra members. Mr. Philip Hillstrom, band director, conducts the symphony band. Band members get out instruments, chat excitedly to friends before the concert begins. 45 New Chorus Performs for Initiation, Concert Fans of such groups as the Robert Shaw Chorale or the Mormon Tabernacle Choir must have happily noted the recently-formed 50-member Joseph Wal-bridge chorus, which performed at an OHS Honor Society initiation and held a spring concert. The group spent the school year primarily working to develop “esprit de corps” among the members. Any interested student could participate in the chorus, but next year’s applicants will be screened and interviewed to assure proper attitudes; vocal ability is secondary. Chorus director Walbridge may attempt to form separate upperclassman and freshman choirs and eventually a madrigal group. As the school enrollment grows, girls’ and boys’ glee clubs may be organized, and eventually the high school may have its private vocal instructor. Mr. Walbridge already directs a Boys’ Glee Club, composed of Rod Ellis, Bob Miller, Gene Brown, Glenn Kubista, Gary Weeber, Dave Winters, Bill Burrows and Arlo Peterson. They have no scheduled meetings but practice when they wish, as they sing solely for personal pleasure. Last year the boys caroled throughout the high school, while this year they presented a Christmas program to the Okemos Rotary Club. Glee Club members Rill Burrows. Gary Weeber.

Cindy Wang is not pictured. OHS pep assemblies were characterized this year by numerous imitation Beatles and drum-guitar duets which provided entertainment between cheers. Through pep assemblies, “school spirit” was exploited to the fullest. Cheerleaders seemed to adopt for the school motto that “the strongest and fiercest spirit” (should be) fiercer by despair.” Principal Dale Shearer scheduled all assemblies, but varsity cheerleading captain Kristin Powell was responsible for pep assembly organization and for collecting the “talent.” Pep band, composed of selected band members, played at several assemblies. During the year Honor Society held a campaign assembly, and the Spurrlow Singers, sponsored by Chrysler corporation, presented a program. Honor Society Initiation was also held at an assembly. Mrs. Sue Smith, Miss Marcia Boznango and Mrs. Virginia Travis, English teachers, sponsored an English assembly themed “The American Individual.” 49 Take Grapplers . . . with 'sweat, blood, Wrestling team.

From ninth in the state finals two years ago, to third last year, the grapplers finished first this season. Okemos High School had two state class B champions, wrestling team co-captains, Mike McGilliard and Pat Karslake. Mike won the 95-pound class, and Pat retained the 165-pound class crown he won last year. Sophomore Dave Martin won second place in the 103-pound class. The Chiefs finished the season with an overall 10-2-1 record, taking the Capital Circuit championship with a league record of 7-0-1. Okemos had four champions in the regionals, Mike McGilliard, Pat Karslake, Dave Martin and Wally Reese. Doug Willingham, second place; and Dan Cope, Steve Senzig and Dave Williams, fourth place; also placed in the regionals. Most valuable wrestler awards went to co-cap-tains Mike McGilliard and Pat Karslake. The coach’s trophy, awarded to the wrestler who, in the coach’s opinion, showed the most improvement and greatest desire, was won by senior Wally Reese. Old-Fashioned Christmas Couples dance to Silver Hells theme song, played by Hob Sargeant and his band. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Zweering, chaperones, serve punch to senior Jeff Smith at refreshment table. Atmosphere Created hy Spirited jazz provides refreshing change to fast dancing at Silver Bells. Sophs for Silver Bells Silver Bells is the most expensive social event of the winter season for most boys. Corsages, $2.50 dance tickets and dinner add up to a significant sum, but two lucky OHS beaux were spared some expense. In a pre-dance drawing, senior Rod Ellis won a corsage for his date and senior Doug DeLind received a refund on his ticket. The annual semi-formal, themed “Once Upon a Christmas,” was held in the cafeteria December 12 from 8 to 11. Decorations placed the dance in an old-fashioned Christmas atmosphere which was accentuated by Bob Sargeant’s four-piece band. This is the first year girls have worn long formals to Silver Bells. The change was due primarily to a December dearth of cocktail dresses in Lansing. This year’s sophomore class sponsored Silver Bells after the dance was willed to them by last year’s seniors. The sophomores were bequeathed the dance because they purchased the least amount of tickets to last year’s Silver Bells. The Class of ’67 will now be responsible for the dance until it graduates, at which time it will will the dance to another class. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Goldstein cha-cha u hile chaperon-inf! the dance.

Ski Club member, examines ski equipment in the Sportsmeister Shop before a ski weekend. Girls Athletic Association members play Mass Murder. a form of slaughter ball also nick-named Poison Pin by the girls. 54 GAA, Ski Club Offer Students Physical, Social Activity in Winter Sports, highly organized for boys in the form of athletic teams at OHS, are also encouraged socially by clubs. Membership in Ski Club is open to all students regardless of athletic ability, and Girls Athletic Association is open to all girls. Both clubs afford participation in athletics to students. GAA is organized by president Barb Vary, vice-president Rilla Haga, secretary Mary Guile, point chairman Ellen Warner and Student Parliament representative Jean Guile. GAA, sponsored by Mrs. Catherine Tank, physical education teacher, provides an opportunity for girls to participate in sports such as volley ball, folly volly, dodge ball, basketball, softball. Annually girls view the water carnival at Michigan State University and participate in sports days with other schools. Ski Club, in its second year, is perhaps the school’s most glamorous organization. Its 70 members took weekend ski trips to such places as Wolverine, Michigan, where they skied at Boyne Mountain. The group took two ski trips annually, one in the winter and one near spring. Due to lack of funds, individuals paid for themselves on these trips, but summer fund-raising may remedy this problem for next year. Meetings were usually held monthly under the direction of Rick Neumann, president; Sam Hughes, vice-president; Merri Lewis, secretary; and Dave Gustafson, club treasurer. Teams captained by freshman Linda Smith and senior Kathy Jason compete in the GAA basketball tournament. llick Neumann. Ski Club president, discusses the advantages of skiing at several resorts at a club meeting. 55 Business Education Offers Job Preparation Many students find several times a year that they are in the unfortunate predicament of having a term paper due the following day. As they stare blear-ily at the typewriter at 2 a.m., they wish mournfully that they had at least taken Typing I, where they would have acquired a more organized, if less creative, method of typing. Truly ambitious students or those considering clerical work as a career develop more advanced skills in Typing II. Prospective secretaries study shorthand or bookkeeping, and qualified, recommended students may do office practice. Retailing, in which buying and selling of merchandise are studied, business law and general business courses, taught by Mrs. Marilyn Bowker and Mr. Albert Pender, are available for students wishing to gain general knowledge in these areas or considering specializing in one field. Even students preparing to enter a field not related to business find business education courses helpful, as they prepare students to secure and hold a job in the business world, be a better consumer and attain valuable knowledge for personal use. Business Club, meeting every two weeks, supplements business education classes. Members took field trips to such places as the Internal Revenue office and The State Journal building as well as attended an MSU high school business day. Kathy Jason, Business Club president, and Vernita Gates, vice-president, visit The State Journal building on a field trip. Junior Dan Cope arranges bulletin board, themed The Stock Market. for general business class. Junior Barb Baker practices taking dictation in shorthand.

Golf, tennis, track and baseball teams began practice early for events later in March and throughout the spring. About 20 boys went out for golf, coached by Mr. Bob Baker, physical education teacher. A small but active tennis team was coached by athletic director Mr. Albert Pender. Mr. David Jones, economics teacher, was track coach, and Mr. Ron Mott, American history teacher, coached the baseball team.

Broadivay Hit Comedy Kneeling, the playboy repents and asks Connie, played by Mary Anne Hartley, to marry him. For three years the Drama Club has operated without a real stage, improvising one in the cafeteria or gym. This year, however, the club was allowed to use the Community Circle Players’ barn, located on Okemos Road just down from the school, for its spring play, “Come Blow Your Horn.” Working with a real stage, the club found new excitement in playgiving. A Broadway hit by Neil Simon about a playboy who repents and his innocent-but-leaming brother, “Come Blow Your Horn” attracted a large audience to the loft stage of the barn. Cast members were Larry Avery, Alan Baker; Kristin Powell, Peggy Evans; Marc Pruim, Buddy Baker; Gary Weeber, Mr. Baker; Cheryl Perkins, Mrs. Baker; Mary Anne Hartley, Connie Dayton; and Jan Whitmore, Aunt Gussie. Mrs. Sherry Immel, Drama Club sponsor, directed the play. She was assisted by senior Arlo Peterson. Crew members on stage, house, make-up, prop and costume committees worked with the cast and directors to make the play a success. World Role of Science Promoted by Department The eighteenth century was known as the Age of Reason, the nineteenth as the Romantic Age. The twentieth century might be titled the Age of Science for never have the sciences played such a dominant world role. As in mathematics, science is advancing with measureless strides. Consequently, the literary-minded as well as the scientifically-minded student must obtain at least a surface knowledge of the sciences. OHS initiates sophomores into biology, the study of life. Instructed by Mr. John Bjorkquist, students begin studying protozoa and work up to the nature of man by the end of the year. Dissections and movies supplement lectures. Like biology chemistry is concerned with organic matter, although OHS juniors primarily study inorganic substances. Chemistry, taught by Mr. Joseph Walbridge, is the study of chemical changes in substances and in atoms through radiation. Students become familiar with various chemicals and their natures, especially through the infamous “unknowns.” Heat, electricity and energy are studied to a lesser degree than in physics. Taught by Mr. Earl Zetterholm, physics is oriented towards those with some background in science and math. As in chemistry, experiments and demonstrations are conducted to supplement the course. The general study area, energy and its relationship to matter, is subdivided into light, electricity, radiation, sound and heat. In the spring many OHS science students completed projects for the Science Fair. Mary Hicks, sophomore, works on her insect collection for biology class. Doing a light reflection experiment are Joel Peterson, Irene Townsend and Mike McGilliard. physics students. Chess provides a means of reinvigorating minds after a tough day in physics.

As there is no war-shaken Crimea in Okemos, Future Nurses of America club members meet to gather information on medical careers. Sponsored by Mrs. Susan Smith, FNA consists of 15 members, most of whom plan to be nurses. During the year, a surgical nurse and a public health nurse spoke to the group. In March, president Bev Smith; Pat Harmon, vice-president; Jean Rippen, treasurer; Linda Parks, secretary; and Marilyn Cheney, Student Parliament Representative; organized the Easter Seal Bunny Parade. The teaching field is similar to the medical in that both have a shortage of qualified workers. Future Teachers of America, sponsored by Mrs. Virginia Travis, tries to interest students in teaching, present guidelines as to what constitutes good teaching and indirectly to produce more teachers. FNA members Bev Smith and Marilyn Cheney look through material on nursing at a club meeting. Senior Pat Harmon and junior Jean Ilippen leave for the Ingham County Rehabilitation Center on an FNA field trip. 65 “When you go to Paris,” you must know where the Opera, Montmartre, Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower are located, as well as Harry’s Bar and the Champs Elysees, Mrs. Betty Goldstein’s French stu-{ dents are informed yearly. Although many of them may never get to Paris, France, Mrs. Goldstein has organized a substitute Paris, OHS, through room decorations, films and music. Every French class combines literature and grammar with culture and geography, studied from reference texts such as VAspects, partially written by a Michigan State University professor. Also supplementary are numerous movies depicting French pastoral life, old fables or lives of famous authors as well as French records. French II concentrates on grammar, while French III and IV classes primarily translate French works by such authors as St. Exupery, de Maupassant or Gide. French I classes were instructed by Mrs. Ann Treppa, teaching her first year at Okemos. She also taught Spanish I and II. Beginning Spanish students learn rudiments of grammar and practice speaking in front of the class. As class level increases, more time is devoted to literature and increasing vocabulary. Spanish movies are shown to all Spanish classes to improve comprehension. Both Spanish and French classes combine class work with laboratory practice. The OHS lab includes 24 booths with earphones. Students repeat proper responses through a microphone; the teacher is then able to evaluate the pupil’s speaking and comprehension ability, and students have the opportunity to hear a native accent. Latin I and II, taught by Mrs. Esther McFarland, are also offered at OHS. About 40 students study Latin, which is a definite increase over last year’s 16 Latin students. Last year Latin II was not offered. Latin Club began as a new school activity this year under the leadership of chairman Pete Georgiady. Senior Mary Guile headed a constitution committee, setting up the club’s new constitution for Student Parliament’s approval. Throughout the year, French Club and Spanish Club function. French Club members have occasional speakers and view movies. Spanish Club operates similarly but has an annual Christmas party for Lansing’s Spanish school children. Spring usually heralds French and Spanish banquets, where national food is served. The French banquet follows the tradition of having a can-can dance, skit and speaker. Girls can-can for French banquet entertainment. The can-can is a traditional part of the banquet, planned by French Club for all French students. While juniors Marc Pruim and Jim Westwood act out parts. French III students Jan Whitmore and Amy Schiff read dialogue from Guy de Maupassant’s Fishing Excursion for first hour French. 66 Foreign Language Students Attend Banquets Mary Ellis. Mary Willett. Karen Beck. Nancy Britt and Sue Taylor, Spanish Club planning committee members, plan second semester club meetings. Discussing the constitution for the new Latin Club are constitution committee chairman Mary Guile and club president Pete Georgiady. 67 Assistants Prove Valuable Class assistants, students who elect to aid teachers for one-half credit yearly, might be mistaken for that rarity, the “indispensable man.” They type stencils, run errands, make phone calls, grade papers, administer spelling tests, design bulletin boards, write letters, repair tape recorders, ditto tests. Language class assistants run the language labs, while chemistry assistants have the added responsibility of preparing “unknown” tests and handling dangerous chemicals. In effect, assistants are a teacher’s salvation. With a final tic of his shoes, 1). J. Drake, physical education assistant, prepares to begin a freshman physical education class. Biology assistant Steve Fraser dissects a frog as master dissection to help student dissection. Chemistry assistant Dave Brower schemingly composes impossible unknowns test for an unsuspecting chemistry student. Copy editor Carolyn Fishel industriously writes copy for large deadline. Carolyn also did much typing for the yearbook. Drawing a dummy is Tomahawk editor Bobbie Firn-haber. Dummies for the entire yearbook were drawn the first weeks of school. Ideal Book Attempted by 'Tomahawk’ Editors Publishing the OHS yearbook Tomahawk is to its editors as the Inferno was to Dante: a trip through hell hopefully ending in heaven. Yearbook editors must contend with griping over rumors that the yearbook won’t be “just like last year’s,” with lost negatives, bad pictures, lost copy. The frantic rush to meet deadlines, paste up copy, schedule and sell underclassman pictures culminates ideally into a superior yearbook, pleasing to students, editors and those who rate it. Editor Roberta Firnhaber planned the yearbook’s organization, theme and many of the layouts. Photography editor Gary Weeber drew layouts, took pictures of all significant school events and ran a perpetual chauffeur service to LeClear’s Picture Studio, while copy editor Carolyn Fishel wrote and typed copy. Bobbie innovated a new style in the Tomahawk, arranging it chronologically instead of by subject, adding class feature sections and continuing the policy of avoiding group pictures. Senior picture sizes were decreased to avoid idolizing the seniors, to leave more space for action shots and to practice better journalism. For the first year, the yearbook class was replaced by three editors supervised by English teacher Miss Marcia Boznango. The trio worked on the co-op program, receiving 95c per hour for a 10-hour week. 69 Leaving to pick up pictures from the studio is Gary Weeber. photography editor.

The prom, the largest social event of the year, is dreamed about in many ways. The romantic version of soft lights and music is the ideal. Going along with the ideal, of course, is the nightmare of affording it, finding the beautiful dresses, getting a date and the usual worries about making unco-ordinated blunders at the dance. The Junior Class did as much as possible, though, to provide the ideal prom. Money-making projects enlarged the class treasury to assure the best of everything for the dance. The Lansing Room at the Jack Tar Hotel was reserved. The date, May 29, was established. Bob Jacoby was elected by the class to head the prom committee. Bob began work in March, selecting chairmen to aid him and working out a theme. Chairmen were Jacquie Caul, favors; Cathy Foster and Bill Rolph, flowers; Bob Jacoby and D. J. Drake, music; Mary Willet and Linda Swenson, decorations; and Jan Whitmore, refreshments. 70 Prom chairman Bob Jacoby discusses plans at a Junior Class meet-in a March 17. 71 As part of the food comparison unit in Home Economics II. juniors Jean Itippen and Debbie Wood compare mixes.

During the year, Mrs. Jacqueline Babcock instructs students in personal and home management techniques, budgeting money, meal planning, buying, comparing foods, making use of convenience foods and new products. In connection with this area, the girls held a Mother’s Coffee and shopped in a local grocery store. Also in the food area, the classes studied the importance of health and nutrition, consumer economics, advertising techniques and how to resist modern sales pressure. As buying a house is a life-time purchase of great significance, they viewed different houses as prospective purchasers. Basic art principles applicable to clothing and home management, such as harmony, balance, design, as well as clothing construction and selection and flower arranging were studied. In April Home Economics I, II and III students modeled clothes made during the clothing unit in a fashion show held at the Community Players Barn.

Diane Dean and Sherry Suites at a pre-school sponsored by home and family living. 73 Guidance Counselors The OHS guidance office is famed as a shelter for sobbing students, moaning over classes, teachers, grades or colleges. Counselors Mrs. Dorothy Peterson and Mrs. Thelma Lamb have more inspirational duties than playing psychiatrist, however. School functioning is greatly dependent on the guidance department, as counselors schedule all classes. Scheduling the next year’s classes is a mammoth task, so complicated as to entail IBM machines in some schools. Beginning in February, the counselors obtain student course preferences, try to prevent conflicts and compile a master schedule. For each student the guidance office keeps a CA-39, a cumulative record of identification data, scholastic records, rating sheets, conference and test information, health and physical records which is compiled by the counselors. Face Schedule- Planning Each student is assigned a counselor who attempts to aid the individual in understanding himself, in adjusting, in developing his educational goals and in understanding work opportunities. College-bound seniors become well-acquainted with guidance department facilities as they haunt the office, waiting for college applications, test information, National Merit test scores and advice on which college is best for them. The guidance office also serves as a contact for part-time and full-time jobs. Baby-sitting, housework and yard work jobs are often arranged for students. The department’s interest in students does not end with graduation. A follow-up study of OHS graduates and drop-outs is conducted to investigate course quality, college preparation, employment status of graduates and need for accelerated courses. Headaches in Spring The tape recorder provides a valuable asset in counseling: counselors use it often in student interviews. Filing a student's CA-39 is Mrs. Dorothy Peterson, guidance counselor. A CA-39 kept for each student, aids in job and college recommendations. 75 Mrs. Helen Jones, guidance department secretary, arranges parent-counselor interview. Underclassmen Contribute to Silver Bells, Prom Enlivening OHS through active participation in clubs, sports, assemblies and class work were the junior, sophomore and freshman classes. They cooperated on all school projects as well as provided intense inter-class competition. Especially active were the juniors, who spent the year sponsoring money-making projects leading to the prom. Friday, November 13, they sponsored a dance, “Phobia,’' at which was featured a senior combo for live entertainment. The class, consisting of 151 members, also gave a family dinner for parents and students. Led by D. J. Drake, president; Jeff Mikles, vice-president; Linda Parks, secretary; and Dave Johnson, treasurer; the class was sponsored by Mrs. Helen Davis, art teacher. Sophomores contributed more as a class this year, giving the annual Christmas dance, Silver Bells, which was willed to them by last year’s seniors. Themed “An Old Fashioned Christmas,” the dance was headed by Martha Lowry. The sophomore float, “Bye-Bye Greyhounds,” sponsored by the Bilt-Rite Construction Company, won a $10 second-place prize in Homecoming float competition. Ordering class rings in November was an important sophomore class activity. Ordered from the H. R. Terryberry Company, the rings cost from $21 to $30 each and were delivered in March. Mr. Edward Kapella, industrial arts teacher, was sponsor of the Class of ’67, which was headed by president Don Ambrose, vice-president Martha Lowry, secretary Peggy Stevens and treasurer Mary Fox. The largest class ever to enter OHS, the Freshman Class, with 176 members, spent the year acquainting itself with the school and its academic programs. Sociology, taken by most freshmen, provided them with insight into their lives and the activities of the world. Freshman sports teams gave ninth graders a chance to compete against students their own age, while some freshmen participated in junior varsity sports, in which they competed against sophomores as well as freshmen. Heading the class were Mike Wiseman, president; Doug Diller, vice-president; Audrey Parks, secretary; and Hila Weaver, treasurer. The class was sponsored by Mr. Ron Mott, American history teacher. Admiring her new class ring is sophomore Sandy Firn-haber. Sophs ordered rings in the fall. Students listen to music of a senior combo, live entertainment provided by juniors for their dance.

As freshmen the Class of ’65, like any freshman class, was a little apprehensive about the competition and challenge presented by hard courses, new teachers and so many upperclassmen. Courses, such as world history, Algebra I and foreign languages, provided new ideas and knowledge to be the basis of further high school class work. In its sophomore year, the Class of ’65 was more active, participating in and at times leading school activities. Familiar with the school, they were more aware of things they could do and became more active socially. Helping found a new club, the Drama Club, was an activity in which many of them were involved. The traditional sophomore project, ordering class rings, was carried out as usual, some students paying for their rings themselves. Selling refreshments at basketball games was the class’s money-raising project. The prom, “Moonlight and Roses,” the main project of the class’s junior year, was presented May 23. Held in the Lansing Room of the Jack Tar Hotel, the prom was chaired by Dick Hill. Committee members were Rod Ellis, entertainment; Bev Smith, decorations; Linda Salmonson, invitations; Bonnie Lantz, refreshments; Pat Harmon, favors; and Jay Guertin, publicity. The Class of ’65 was especially busy in its junior year, making money, collecting dues and planning for the prom. The class was headed that year by copresidents Mary Crafton and Jay Guertin, who had tied three times in elections. This year seniors were busy not only leading school activities but also making college plans. College boards were taken, applications carefully completed and sent in, interviews with college personnel and campus tours made, scholarship applications and tests taken and anxious waiting for acceptances or rejections begun. Seniors captained sports teams, chaired committees and headed clubs. Dick Hill was president of Student Parliament, and class officers were Bill Burrows, president; Joel Peterson, vice-president; Merri Lewis, secretary; and Bonnie Lantz, treasurer. The officers chose a Senior Committee, consisting of a cross-section of OHS seniors to help class sponsor Mrs. Rachel Grinnel make decisions on class activities. Freshman Year Junior Year 78 Senior Award Winners Highlight Graduation Somberly marching across the gym in a double line of maroon and white robes, the 143-member Class of ’65 graduated June 15. Setting the atmosphere for commencement exercises were decorations of the class colors, blue and silver, and flower, the rose. Especially honored were the Top Ten, the OHS Homemaker of the Year and the DAR award winner. Other notable graduates were National Merit Semifinalists Carolyn Fishel and Margaret Haynes, who graduated in January to spend time studying in France, and Brock Hotaling. OHS National Merit Commended Students were Bobbie Firnhaber, Mary Guile, Fred Hoehler, Carol Kennedy, Henry Koch and Dave Winters. Another outstanding senior graduating was Marlies Immler, foreign exchange student from Lan- dau, Germany. Marlies was sponsored by the Youth for Understanding Program of the Michigan Council of Churches. She was the sixth foreign exchange student to graduate from OHS. Class president Bill Burrows named those receiving diplomas, as the graduates accepted theirs from school board president Starr Keesler and superintendent George Richards. Following the presentation of diplomas, Dr. Gordon Sabine, vice-president of special projects at Michigan State University, addressed the seniors and their guests. Before Commencement seniors were honored at Baccalaureate June 12, at a Senior Banquet and at the prom May 29. “To strive, to seek, to find and to yield,” from Alfred Tennyson, was the class motto.

Up early, get dressed and rush out to the bus. When it pulled up to school, you’d push a little and find yourself walking slowly toward those faded blue and red doors. The lights seemed drab and unattractive bouncing off the metal walls and the rubber mat was slushy. After shoving the books into the metal cubicle, the dreaded task of taking a seat to hear a lecture on Adam Muller or learning a new method of proving the Pythagorian Theorum awaited. Every class soon became a reality of dread. Then the future began to show promise. It was March and in about three months the end of school would become a reality. It seemed a far dream but the days and weeks started rolling past. The end of the basketball and wrestling seasons created a partial stymie in activities, but spring sports brought with the season a refreshing change to the atmosphere of the gymnasium. The days began to have a brighter look. Then as June approached, patience began to fray. Only two weeks left! The blackboards in the halls soon became plastered with the countdown of days and the calendar at home became a sheet of black marks crossing off each day. Soon the seniors had left to prepare for graduation. The final week was a pleasure worth the whole year of studying. One by one the books were turned in, each seeming to take off a little more of the educational load. Finally that glorious day in June arrived — freedom! Kids rushed from the final class, bursting with relief and pleasure. Quickly the halls were silent. All that remained of the laborious nine months were scraps of paper, bits of clothing and marked up blackboards. The challenge of school life has finally become dormant for a few months. No more cramming for tests, hurriedly typing up reports or working yourself up for the game. The busy environment surrounding school is suddenly quiet and undisturbed. For the present, the competition provided by school is dropped and out-of-school competition looms ahead. But it seems small, if for no other reason than its being a change. Halls no longer show the rushing, talking and populated atmosphere but are silent for another year. 82 Administrative Officials Decide School Policy Superintendent George Richards Perhaps the most unacknowledged, unappreciated and in some quarters unwanted school personnel are school administrative officials, yet without them Okemos High School could not function. The Okemos School System owes its existence to the seven-member school board. Chaired by Mr. Starr Keesler, the board meets monthly to decide questions such as the OHS educational philosophy or the budget range. The school board was originally responsible for planning the high school campus. Mr. George Richards, superintendent of schools, is responsible for interpreting board policy and formulating rules accordingly. His duties entail specifics such as itemizing the general budget drawn up by the board. Working with him is administrative assistant Mr. Don Mills, who handles business and finance and assistant superintendent Mr. Robert Slocum, who is in charge of instruction and personnel. OHS principal Mr. Dale Shearer, with other building principals, oversees his individual school’s problems and interprets school policy in such areas as dress regulations, restrictions and punishments. Assistant superintendent Mr. Robert Slocum interviews Mrs. Lois Ostrander for job as OHS teacher. 84 School board members Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor. Mr. Cornelius Wagenvoord. Mr. Thomas Wheeker, Mr. Starr Keesler, Mr. Joe Foster and Mr. Herbert DeJonge attend board meeting. Mr. Don Mills. Okcmos Schools' administrative assistant, discusses a junior high plumbing bill ivith plumbing contractors. 85 Staff Members Provide Clerical, Food, Bus Services for Schools Working as a member of the OHS cafeteria staff can raise unusual problems. After cooking daily for an army, using 70 pounds of macaroni or 190 chickens, cooking at home and measuring food in ounces is confusing. The nine cooks, supervised by Mrs. Gladys Everett, originator of the OHS cycle lunch program, prepare 800 lunches daily; 400 are sent to Cornell, Wardcliff, Central and Edgewood, while 400 remain at the high school. The elementary schools phone in lunch orders in the morning, meals are prepared and by OHS lunchtime, three cooks have left to serve in other schools. OHS secretaries have an equally frustrating job. Besides usual clerical work, typing, mimeographing, helping treasurers keep accounts, running the switchboard and serving as receptionists, they do numerous odd jobs such as running a lost and found, handling absence slips and lending lunch money to students. Custodians are responsible for grounds maintenance, cleaning the school, locking the school at night, doing carpentry work and repair jobs. In effect, they do “just about anything anybody asks us to do.” Some custodians also serve as bus drivers, averaging 12,000 miles annually chauffering students to and from school, athletic teams to events and musicians to festivals.
