Headmaster DEDICATION To Mr. N. H. Batchelder, Jr., seventh headmaster of Park School, we dedicate the 1959 Panther. Convinced that the independent country day school has an im- portant job to do in our society, and a future big with promise, Mr. Batchelder has done much to acquaint the community with Park and its objectives, and - through his Monday-morning prayers, his Quiz of the Week, his bulletin board, his assembly talks and readings, and the Thursday-morning assemblies he instituted - to help us to see beyond the confines of the campus. We thank him for a good year and wish him Godspeed. 2 SEN IORS PAGE 7 CONTENTS ATHLETICS PAGE 49 FACULTY AND CLASSES PAGE 21 ACTIVITIES PAGE 37 PARK SCHOOL 1959 Time rolls his ceaseless course - but the Park of '58-'59 was not markedly different from the one the seniors, some of them, had known for almost a decade, the Park they will remember with advantages. As usual, the staff worked toward realizing the founders' ideal of a sound mind in a sound bodyg sports events, the Country Sale, holidays, the Carnival, the play, more holidays, the Garden Tour, and Field Day spiced the solid academic fareg morning drivers served the lost cause of observing the speed limits and beating the eight-thirty bellg and Waiter Number One served until further notice. The changes wrought by a new headmaster and improved facilities - among them a proper library with a considerable circulation - were not sol much ab- solute innovations as attempts to enable Park to do even better the job it has long done well. 4 2' F? jfs MW 2 HI , Q 5 4 3 5 x , 1,.? if 3, w-J-w.iQ.MiW-,L,.,i ,,,V,.1W x 5 353' CLASS OF 1959 What is a senior? A stereotype of a senior does not exist - except possibly in the minds of Lower Schoolers. Once one goes to school with seniors, he soon sees that, like all people, they differ from one another, and they make mistakes. Never- theless, when a senior walks by, the underclassman cannot help envying him. In the Senior Class this year were athletes, scholars, leaders, clowns and lovers. Assuming that what a man accumulates furnishes a key to his nature, letls stop at the senior lockers for a closer look at the members of the class. Such snooping, to be sure, will be an invasion of privacy, but we mean no harm. The first locker containsa well-used Kodak Bantam flash camera, the pictures it has taken should be familiar to Red and Black readers. The next locker contains a generous number of issues of Harpefs and the U. S. News and World Report, the dates of which betray some negligence in the subscriber, whose taste for a certain Christmas song added a new nickname to an already long list. Opening another locker, we see first the usual conglomeration of books and papers, but upon closer inspection, we note that many are price-lists for school supplies. Perhaps the owner runs a bookstore. The next locker also yields price lists, but of a more scandalous nature. The owner of this locker is better known by his car, which, at this writing sounds as if the timing job had been done by a cross- eyed monkey. Searching in another locker, we find keys to a '58 Ford Cwhitej. Strange, this man drives an MG. Ah well, life is full of mysteries. ln another locker hangs a rather moth-eaten grey wool jacket, along with an abundance of various blue-penciled and unused Red and Black articles by a class- mate whose strange theory about light poles, published last year, almost demolished Aristotelian logic. The last locker seems to be a traveler's, for it contains a grey suitcase. But wait- does Grailex make suitcases? In sum then . . . QThe arrival of the Class of 1959 en masse unhappily precluded the completion of this study. - Edd 6 Q WURD um. 0 mivnfw 1 A 'V VWMI11-:w4 Mn' Y?

I GUESS THEY ARE KINDA BIG THOMASADAMS Rarely vociferous, Tom usually knew what he was talking about when he did speak. Because of this quietly competent manner he was the class,s most frequent representative on the Citizenship Honor Roll. He scored highly on college-entrance tests taken outside school. Although he didnat partici- pate in varsity sports his First three years at Park, he did go out for wrestling in his senior year. Tom also was school photographer his last two years and a member of the Glee Club for all four years. ACTIVITIES GleeClub.... Panther . .. ... Photographer . .. Red and Black . .. Photographer . ..

Having lettered in the three major sports, Mark was this year elected president of the Varsity Club. A member of the Glee Club two years and Prompters three, and of the Red and Black and Panther staff all four years, Mark served on the Student Council two years, becoming vice-president as a senior. Although Mark was cer- tainly an unobtrusive member of the class, certain topics of discussion kindled him to a warm glow.

JOHN CARPENTER Having started off rather slowly in athletics, John became one of the schoolis hardest working athletes in his junior and senior years. He played football his junior year and won the Reichel Award in baseball. As a senior he became first-string quarter- back on the football team and played varsity bas- ketball. A member of the Glee Club, John was also vice-president of the Varsity Club and secretary of the Student Council in his senior year. He par- ticipated in Prompters Club plays and wrote for the Red and Black, of which he was business manager. John received the Ched Remy Award given the junior who has made the strongest con- tribution to the school.

JACKSON HAZLEWGOD As business manager of the Panther, secretary- treasurer of the Varsity Club, and treasurer of last year's junior class, Jerry took quite a hand in school activities. He was a member of the Varsity Club all four years, lettering in wrestling and football.

As a guard in football, Dave was always rugged, and on the mats he showed his stamina. He is also an enthusi- astic skier and for the last two winters made trips up into the snow country. It will be some time before his classmates forget Davefs ability to mis- construe so many things.

As assistant to Jerry Hazlewood, he worked on the ad staff of the Panther his senior year, while he won his first major NPN in wrestling his junior year. Dave un- doubtedly had a more easy-going personality and a wider variety of cars than anyone else in the class. HEREIS AN ASPIRIN, MR. BAILEY. ACTIVITIES Red and Black Panther . .. ..

THIS IS MY PAPER As feature editor of the Red and Black, Dick wrote many unusual news articles. SLUMBER HAWK RICHARD WILSON After an absence of three years, Dick returned to Park in his junior year. By his second semester he was an active participant in the Counselling Pro- gram and was able to meet the requirements for attending last summer's youth conference in Schenectady, New York. During his second semes- ter at Park, Dick also became ad manager for the Red and Black and in his senior year served as feature writer for the paper. His fantastic basket- ball shots, his somnolence, and his unusual news articles invariably amazed his classmates. ACTIVITIES Red and Black . . . Prompters Club . . . . Counselling Program . .

Opportunities for such contact are happily frequent at Park - in the classroom, the dining room, the gym- nasium, and the publications room and on the playing fields and the stage. Park boys have always felt free to discuss personal as well as academic problems with their teachers and - perhaps equally important -W just to bat the breeze with them. The special value of this Contact lies in our facultyis knowledge of the subject matter of their courses and in their staunch belief that the continuity of knowledge is of the first importance. This knowledge and this faith have given us new enthusiasms as well as sound prepara- tion for college. Our instructors have led us along no easy road. But we are persuaded that their scholarship and the stiffness of their courses will ever serve us better than their mere Mr. BERKELEY, Mrs. HARDY, Mr. Hdffsife to help Young PCOPICN Could do- MELKIS during recess FRONT ROW, Left to Right: Mrs. Garrett, Miss Mr. R.

COUNSELLING PROGRAM M' Continuing to mold the characters of Park students, the Counselling Program this year has been more active than ever, In addition to the annual address by Dr. Ligon, director of the Character Research Project, the Coun- selling Program this year also sponsored several other talks to the Upper School Counselling classes by persons inter- ested in what the group is doing. Among these speakers was a young Formosan, studying at Butler, who described the customs and habits of Formosa. With Mr, Holzman serving as Parkls director this year, the Upper School Counselling groups worked hard to fulfill requirements for the 1960 youth congress which will be held in Schenectady, New York.

CUIVI LAUDE The Cum Laude Society is a national organization founded fifty-three years ago, at the Tome School in Maryland, to recognize the scholastic achievement of stu- dents in secondary schools. Park's chapter, now in its fourth year, is one of two hundred throughout the country, most of them in independent schools. Membership in the society, the highest academic award a boy can receive at Park, is available to one fifth of the senior class and one tenth of the juniors, pro- vided the boys meet the requirements. Students elected at the chapter's annual spring meeting are officially received into the society during the commencement exercises in June. This spring, in a special convocation at Park, Mr. Batchelder and Mr. Robert Moore were given honorary membership in the society. Mr. Foxlow is president of the school chapter, Mr. Palmer, secretary. UPPER SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL l Operating with funds remaining from last year and on proceeds collected from the magazine subscription sale held in October, the '58-559 Council was able to revive the fall homecoming dance discontinued by the previous council. During the fall the group also solicited donations from the students for the United Fund, while at Christmas time it provided the Upper School with the annual Christmas dance, this year featuring the Headliners orchestra.

In addition to this job, it also continued the task of electing members to the Citizen- ship Honor Roll. Led by President Baxter Rogers, the council also included Mark Campaigne, John Carpenter, Ed Har- ris, Em Davis, Alex Rogers, Greg Zolezzi, and Steve Cuthbert.

MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL This year's Middle School Student Council has been one of the most active in the history of that organization. Members representing the eighth grade were Bill Prachar, Jim Hardy, and Scott Settle, the president, treasurer, and secretary, re- spectively. Seventh-grade representatives were Randy Rogers and Pete Schmidt. The organization this year sponsored a number of gala dances. These aH'airs were well received by the Middle Schoolers, who turned out en matte. In addition to performing its service function by keeping the Middle School Sportsmanship Award up to date and presenting a gift to the school, the council undertook a revision of its constitution. Mr. Foxlow again served as faculty adviser to the group. CLOUD, HARDY AND DATES AT COUNCIL DANCE LOWER SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL FRONT ROW, Left to Right: John Melcher, Mike McKenna, Lynn Miles.

Later, through the efforts of the council, the entire Lower School became mem- bers of the Children,s Museum of Indiana- polis. This year, as in the past, each class chose two well-rounded boys to represent it on the council - boys who are good citizens respected by their classmates. Those elected to serve on the council were Mike McKenna and Don Austin, first gradeg Lynn Miles, John Melcher, and Greg Prachar, second grade, David Lurvey and Flick Rahke, third gradeg Don Thomas and Doug Turn- bull, fourth gradeg Conrad Klingenstein and Kenny Reese, fifth grade. Mr. Donohoo is the faculty supervisor. Whenever a problem or a need to amend the playground rules arises, the council meets to make its decision. Then the two representatives from each class carry the decision back to their constituents. FRONT ROW, Left to Right: Dave Spring, Hurst Davis, Bill McFarlane.

KNOT SHOWN: Bill Wishardj THE RED AND BLACK WY5? 'WM at 'S' -QA iajq , ,,'k EDITORS, SECOND HOME Operating with bigger papers and fewer issues than previously, the Rad and Blank this year instituted the policy of producing three particularly large issues, each with a circulation increased to 1200. By this plan the staff has strived not only to provide a broader coverage of the news at Park but also to insure a wider distribution of information concerning what is going on at Park -W a system much liked both by advertisers and by friends of Park who heretofore haven't received the paper. With innumerable trips to the printer's to supply copy or read galleys, this yearls editor, Henry YVhitesell, and as- sociate editor, Hurst Groves, with the aid of two managing editors - Alan Keller and Ed Harris -- have successfully led the Red and Black through the first year in some time that any significant changes have been made in the paper. Not only were the size and publication schedule of the paper altered, but for the first time the paper has become subsidized by the school, an action which has proved ex- pedient in soliciting advertisements. 42 THE PANTHER The editorship of this year's Panther fell unexpectedly into the hands of last year's copy editor, Bill W'ishard. Past editors have had two to three years to plan their book, but Bill had the summer. He needed no more, apparently, for he has produced what the staff believes to be an excellent annual. His assistant was Tom Sams, who, although a newcomer to the staff. performed his duties loyally. The staff, headed by these two rather inexperienced hands, was lucky to have a real pro at the typewriter - Hurst Groves, who had what was probably the most hectic and tedious job involved in putting out the book. Compliments are due Tom Adams, the official staff photographer, and Jerry Hazlewood, the all-important ad- vertising manager. W'ithout the aid of Mr. Foxlow, staff adviser, the pro- duction of this year's Panther would hardly have been possible.

Since the creation of the position of exchange editor, The Pen has served not only as an outlet for the literary work of Park students but also as a vehicle of correspondence with secondary schools similar to ours. This exchange has proved to be particularly profitable, for we thereby have a chance to see what other schools do in relation to the publication of literary magazines. Composed of essays, poems, and short stories by the students, The Pen is truly a publication of the whole school, for it includes selections from first graders and seniors alike. It is a task, therefore, not only of the editor, but of each grade teacher to select material worthy of publication. This year, Mr. Foxlow, the Pen adviser and English Department head, had all theme assignments returned after correction for Pen consideration. With such a large variety of potential material, the editor, Hurst Groves, was faced with the difficult job of selecting the proper work to be published. However, with the aid of Henry Whitesell, exchange editor, Hurst produced a magazine in keeping with the truly first-rate publications of the past. 44 ONCE MORE, NOW GLEE CLUB Smaller than ever this year, the Park School Glee Club abounded in enthusiasm and booming voices. The happy fact must be attributed M in part, at least - to the keen- ness of the freshmen, who turned out in large numbers for the tryouts in the fall. Again directed by Mr. Melkis, the organization gave its first performance of the year at the Lower School Christ- mas Program in December. The boys also sang before the Mothers' Association in April and the Fathers' Club in May. For the first time in its seven-year history, the Glee Club this year had a concert pianist as its accompanist. Mr. Melkis had to play for the group as well as direct it.

Many long hours of rehearsal went into making this production one of the best ever staged at Park.

In addition to realizing a constant income from bookstore sales of Park School pens, the club earned money by selling cokes at all varsity games and at the Park- Tudor Carnival and by charging admission at the basketball games. The club revenue not only afforded the school a dance that, thanks to the efforts of the pledges, was a great deal of fun, it also made possible the rental of a new soft-drink machine for the boys' waiting room and the purchase of new bats for the baseball team. This year the Varsity Clubis officers were Mark Campaigne, president 3 John Carpenter, vice-president, and Jerry Hazlewood, secretary-treasurer. With Mr. Baker as faculty adviser, they have led the club through another year of service to the school. 47 v I as-A f 0 fy' , L ' f I 2,2 , 1-,, ....

Every one of the Hrst five players was the high scorer in at least one game. At the beginning of the season the team as a whole was rather inexperienced, since only Baxter Rogers had played an entire season last year, Henry Whitesell and Mark Campaigne having sulbfered injuries. The other two starters this season, Mike Chapman and Ed Har- ris,had played reserve basketball last season. In spite of this lack of experience, the team upset a highly rated Fishers and beat Deaf school twice - something many Park teams have been unable to do. Finishing the season with a respectable l3f-4 rec- ord, the team was runner-up in the Maumee Valley In- vitational Tournament this year. 52 PARK 54 .... 53 .... 34 51 .... 58 .... 60 .... 36 .... 56 .... 46 .... 59 .,.. .. 61 .. .. 31.. .. 57 .... .. 41 .. .. 42 .... .. 56 .... .. 59 .... ..

This quotation could apply to the varsity reserves, a group which serves through its readiness and availability. This year, since Coach Berkeley constantly juggled the start- ing lineup to Find a winning combination, all of the following were starters at one time or another: Tom Waymire, Greg Zo- lezzi, Terry Cline, Paul Wlhitney, Ted Lilly, Jim Worrall, Hank Matthew, and Sam Horine. Other boys supporting the team were Harvey Sigmond, Alex Rogers, Don Davis, Tim Sams, Tom Teel, Steve Gaubatz, and Jim Stone, This yearls reserve squad was one of the largest ever, having nine sophomores and six freshmen on it. Thanks to the sopho- mores, the team had good speed, if little height. It also had good shooters, who were well balanced in scoring. 54 KNEELINC, Left to Right: Carter Fortune, Steve Cuthbert, Dave Roys, Pete Lieber, Bill Currie, Billy Richards. STANDING: Coach Moore, Don Darbro, Sande Macdonald, Bill Lynch, Doug Darbro, Jack Reefer, Mike Purdy, Joe Persky, manager, Coach Donohoo. Hampered by inexperience and lack of depth, the wrestling team fought an uphill battle through a very disappointing season. The inability to fill several weight classes forced the team to concede between twenty and twenty-five points a match. Although three previous lettermen returned this year - Dave Roberts, Dave Spring, and Doug Dar- bro 3 two of them were ineligible for most of the matches. XVith the help of the coaches, Mr. Donohoo and Mr. Moore, the team as a whole improved through the season, Several freshmen gained experience and skill by wrestling all the matches. The schedule this year included State Blind School, State Deaf School, Howe B, Franklin Township, Beech Grove, Louisville Country Day, and a tourna- ment at Decatur Central. Because of the larger turnout by the freshman class and because of the general improvement shown in the squad, Park can look forward to a more successful sea- son next year. There is, however, a definite need for greater interest in and more support of the wrestling team by the school in general, 55 VARSITY WRESTLING FRONT ROW, Left to Right: Mike Purdy, Mike Carpenter, Em Davis.

The retuming lettermen are Mark Campaigne, John Carpenter, Dave Roberts, Em Davis, Ed Harris, Tom Sams, Jim Worrall, Paul Whitney, Terry Cline and Mike Chapman. With the addition of many promising freshmen, the team will have the depth which it has lacked in the past. Last year's team under Mr. Berkeley showed en- couraging improvement while on its way toward a 3-7 season. The team was paced by the hitting of Davis and Harris and the pitching of Carpenter and Roberts. The Varsity Club has purchased new bats and batting helmets, while the Fathers' Club has added new bleachers. With these and a greatly improved playing Held, the team hopes to have its best year.

In spite of the loss of Jock For- tune on account of illness, the team came through with wins against all its opponents except Howe and Tech. The boys who lettered were Henry White- sell, Alan Keller, Doug Hill, Baxter Rogers, Wally Foltz, and David Chambers - numbers one through six on the team, respectively. Doug Hill was captain of the team and Alan Keller was chosen most valu- able player. This year's team should have a harder go of it Steve Gaubatz, John Landgraf, Dick Wilson, Henry Whitesell, Alan Keller, Alex Rogers, Baxter Rogers, Steve Valinet, Bill Currie, Bill McFarlane. VARSITY TENNIS since only three lettermen are returning compared with nine in 1958. However, with a nucleus of Whitesell, Keller, and Rogers, a good team may be built with such hopefuls as Alex Rogers, Bill Currie, Steve Gaubatz, Steve Valinet and others. The schedule will include matches with such city teams as Shortridge, Howe, Tech, Broad Ripple, and Attucks. Coach Baker also hopes to get matches with Bloomington, Anderson, Maumee, Cincinnati, and Muncie.

THIRD ROW: Coach Baker, Jim Galyan, Bill Prachar, Jim Hardy, Wayne Schlundt, Floyd Hebert, Louis Highmark, John Cochran, Coach Berkeley. LOWER SCHOOL FOOTBALL This year's team showed signs of im- provement - winning two, losing two and tying one. Tabernacle, to whom our boys lost twice, seemed to be the only team they couldn't beat. Against Orchard and Meridian Street Method- ist they exhibited their real power, tying Orchard and then defeating them 6-O and winning over Meridian Street Methodist 12-0. The starting eleven consisted of Dwight Lee, center , Tris Peirce and Duncan Highmark, guards, John Megenhardt and Jim Hockert, tackles, John Tappan and John Ransel, ends 5 Kemp Bohlen, quarterback 5 Dick Mil- ler, fullback, and Bill Lee and Randy Williams, halfbacks. MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBALL Through hard practice, the seventh- and eighth-grade grid team fought its way to a good season. The twenty-six- man squad learned effective plays with the aid of the coaches, Mr. Baker and Mr. Berkeley. The team met defeat but once - in l its game with State Deaf School - and came out victorious in five other tilts. It was tied by Cincinnati Country Day in the last game. On the strength of the ground-gaining of the coordinated back- Held, the squad defeated Orchard twice, Tabernacle twice, and State Deaf School once.

Learning that morale on the bas- ketball court is of first importance, the boys soon developed the desire and spirit necessary to a winning team. A mastery of fundamentals, together with Julian Schlundt's rebounding and Dave Wfilliamsl speed, served the team well. Settle, Pra- char, and Hardy, with Cline, Rogers, and Hebert interchanging, rounded out the working nucleus. FRONT ROW, Let to Right: Bob Hedding, David Horine, Henry Vruwink, john Argo.

LOWER SCHOOL BASKETBALL The boys on this team showed very good stuff this year, playing such formidable Park rivals as Guardians' Home, Tabernacle, Or- chard, and State Deaf, and building a record for themselves. Under the able coaching of Mr. Pierson and Mr. Baker, they manifested considerable im- provement as the year rolled along. They had some difficulty playing boys of greater height, but they discovered that with everyone work- ing as hard as possible, they could put up a good fight. The number of boys out for the sport in ,58--'59 necessitated the organization of three strings, each of which managed to play in every game. MIDDLE SCHOOL BASEBALL When the Middle School baseball season began this spring, the follow- ing boys were on hand to vie for first-string positions: Jim Galyan, Bill Gaus, Jay Peacock, Louis Schwitzer, Steve Eddy, Mike Cloud, Bill Turn- bull, Gary Huber, Jim Kuhlman, Charles Esterline, Wayne Schlundt, Steve Cline, Bill Prachar, Dave Wil- liams, Scott Settle, Batch', Batchel- der, Jeff Peirce, John Johnson, Bill Prewitt, Louis Highmark, Mike Hol- brook, Billy Gambill, and Jim Kothe.

The boys don't have to go to the game, they actually are hit- ting a home run or catching a high fly. With the very able assistance of Mr. Pierson, the team is improving very fast, and the new boys are learning well. There are the usual scheduled games with Tab, Orchard, and Deaf School. It seems likely that the team is going to win its share of the games played. KNEELING, Left to Right: Jim Durlacher, Bruce McConnell, Phil Reefer, Bill Shaw. SECOND ROW.'

MIDDLE SCHOOL TENNIS This year Mr. Baker, Middle School tennis coach since last year, has had a large turnout for tennis in grades seven and eight. Ranking was established early in the spring season, and the school will play several matches with various city teams. Park looks toward a good record, hoping to take a respectable place in Park School tennis history. In addi- tion, a general group is available to all boys who show a preference or apti- tude for group games or a variety of other spring sports. This group plans to enter no inter-school competition, instead it will play a number of intra- mural games, FIRST ROW, Left to Right: Nick Noyes, Charles Raiser, Tommy Cochran, Hal Hamilton, Andy Martenet, John Soper, Chuck Snyder.

Return- ing from last year's team are John Norris, Jim Matthew, David Sigrnond, and Henry Vruwink, all of whom are helping Mr. Baker, the coach, instruct the boys. A singles and a doubles tournament are in the offering, toward both of which the boys are working hard. Reynolds, Hank Vruwink, Larry Turnbull. TEE PEE RESTAURANTS 3820 E.

Foxlow 86 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Into the production of this yearbook, as well as most others, have gone more hours of preparation than can possibly be realized by the casual reader. We were indeed fortunate, therefore, in having a staff this year who undertook their various tasks readily and competently, and in dealing with a yearbook company which co- operated willingly with us in the production of this book. I should like to thank, then, the American Yearbook- Company, which for the past three years has litho- graphed and bound this book with eHiciency and cooperativeness. I should also like to extend my thanks to the members of this year's staff, who have given generously of their time - to Tom Sams, who, as assistant editor, helped greatly in meeting each deadline, to Hurst Groves, who typed nearly all of the copy in the book, to Tom Adams, who not only took many of the pictures in the book, but also spent innumerable hours in his darkroom processing and printing Elms, to Jim Worrall, copy editor, and his staff, who supplied the copy, and to jerry Hazlewood, who obtained a record amount of advertising. Moreover, thanks go to the H. Lieber Company, who supplied the enlargements and photographic equipment needed, and to our advertisers, who make possible the payment of our bills. Finally, I should like to thank Mr. Foxlow, faculty adviser, whose advice and assistance this year have virtually been a necessity in the production of this book. - THE EDITOR 87 ug-u.-v.mvs-umn.f.muwf,.k.u,.,..V, m:,mmwmmwf,w,Hwm, iii, f- s .5 411' 'Lf V4 gf-44, 'ffl 'f 5552 5 f' P Q-,V .
