Our school is the stage for community activity, It's primarily a school for learning, How- ever, we find time for extra class activities which develop responsibility, initiative and promote leadership and co-operation. We find timeto laugh, sing, and also play. Our cheering and scream- ing during games, our small talk and laughter in the halls between classes, the shouts of the basketball boys from the gym after school, a typewriter pecking away in the commercial room, an instrumental student taking a lesson in the band room, are some of the things which make up our school. M 'w.,,x Finding it impossible to express in sketches and phrases our true impression of our school, we invite you to look behind the pictures and to read between the lines. Only then can you catch a glimpse of the personalities and activities we know and love. We bring you the biggest show on earth. THE THE THE THE TIME: PLACE: CAST: Now Here and in the thousands of playgrounds and class rooms throughout the nation. You, Your children and the many classroom teachers and administrators. STORY: 'Students know not what the future holds or of what their preparation should consist. All should prepare for present day living-- to develop for a vocation and to obtain the needed preparation for college or technical training. If we are to exist as a country and as a world we must learn to get along as individuals and nations, Preparation for local and world citizenship is one of the most important functions of education.

In September of 1942, the Class of '54 looked forward to the day when they could look back over twelve years of fun, as well as education. Out of the present senior class, thirteen of the original forty remain. They are: Charles Hess, Prudence Cottingham, Alice Cozad, James Wilson, Judy Kissel, Helen Hollingsworth, Donald Embry, Ruth Fink, Mary Christian, David Daupert, Sue Ann Heimburger, Larry Norton, and Charlotte Wootan. This is the order in which the present seniors joined our class: Third Grade Carolyn Leap Eighth Grade Fourth Grade Sandra Biggs, Ann Schmidt, Freshman Class George McCloud, Judith Whybrew, Sophgmorg C1355 and June Whisenand Fifth Grade IIB AIIIIIIIS Junior Class Seventh Grade Tom Laing Senior Class David Thommen Bob Arnold and Melvin Bailey John Hill. Bonnie Habegger, Sherry Barnes, and Pat Nieman Shirley Reiss Thomas Leonard and Elizabeth Noone HISTORY We entered our Freshman year with big heads, feeling we were really something, There were many incidents and happenings that we will never be able to forget. Our class officers were: President, Glenn Ralston ..... Vice President, Prue Cottingham ..... Secretary, Thalia Lain ..... Treasurer , Lenora Ditzenburger. Mrs. Brown was our sponsor. We chose the white rose as our class flower. Class colors selected werewine and white. Our class motto: By Our Efforts We Hope to Rise . Remember Alice and Sue when we were always going down to Mr. Morgan and getting our Algebra? The time we bisected grasshoppers in Biology class. Our initiation from the seniors. Remember how cute we all looked? It was fun though, wasn't it? we entered our Sophomore year with a greater sense of responsibility. Our class officers were: President, Alan Cordill ..... Vice President, George McCloud ..... Secretary, Mike Hess ..... Treasurer, John Hill. Remember the leap year theme of our sophomore party? And don't forget all tlne worrying and fighting over our stage show in the carnival. How about George in Geometry class? There was never a still moment, or a seat that Mrs. Brown had not assigned to George by the close of the year. Our Junior year started off fast and ended that way. Our officers were: President, David Thommen ..... Vice President, Helen Hollingsworth ..... Secretary, Judy Kissel ..... Treasurer, June Whisenand, The proud faces the first day we got our rings. The chili suppers, book store, and concessions that helped to forward us on our senior trip. Junior play practice and all the fun we had afterwards. Ruth Ann becoming our head majorette and June being chosen as our representative to Block's Fashion Board. The happy but yet sad news that Phyllis was leaving us to be married. Our Senior year was our saddest and happiest. Before long, we were out on our own. Our class officers were: President, David Thommen . . . . . Vice President, Judy Whybrew ..... Secretary, Alice Cozad . . . . . Treasurer, Ann Schmidt. Tom Laing's tardiness to English class all the time. The fad of proxided streaks in our hair. when Shirley had a great streak in her hair. All the people hurrying around to get the annual in on time. The excitement of our trip, pictures, play, baccalaureate, and commencement. Just remember all the fum and the classmates you had, class of '54, 'cause it was really wonderful. xi x , M .'l4F-.n mf!f1vL :.1.5.:.s,Q. 'f3'5r5'l 'T' ,Q u ft L. fb ' ii f? 'Z H ..

Byron Young The junior class composed of forty members under the sponsorship of Mrs. Brown was busy with its concessions, a major junior activity. All juniors showed worried concern for the U. S. History tests. Juniors took full advantage of the library facilities in preparing their research themes for English class. The jtuiior play, No More Homework , was a gread success. The Junior-Senior Prom was the class activity that high lighted the school year. Many hours of planning and preparation were spent to make it the biggest and best. Besides their class activities, eight boys found time to win varsity letters in football and seven won them in basket- ball. Ten members played in the band.

Among these were the stage show DUI on during our Halloween Carnival and the Sophomore Party held in the spring. The main subjects this year were English and World History. They chose their other subjects according to their vocational interest. Besides the several football players, the sophomores had two student managers and two cheerleaders. The class also had several members on the reserve and varsity basketball teams. FRE Sl-IME N PRESIDENT SECRETARY Russell Henry Lynne Hunt a- VICE-PRESIDENT TREASURER Kenny Marshall Irl Orr f-:--: 2 , 'Q iii Last fall seventy-seven freshmen descended upon Pike creating a vast amount of noise and confusion. In October they were duly initiated by the senior class. They soon settled down under the sponsorship of Miss Awalt, Mrs. Michaels, and Mr. Schiavone. The freshmen commanded our respect, however, for out of the ten boys that were in football, two were varsity lettermen and ten were on the second basket- ball team. Their activities were few, but the class sponsored a dance following the Speedway football game. Like all the other classes, they had two representatives on the student council. On a typical school day some freshman might have been seen hurriedly finishing an algebra assignment or preparing for that big biology test.

Officers are: George Mc Cloud, Presidentg Richard Parish, Vice-Presidentg Sandra Biggs, Secretary-Treasurer. The council is in charge ofthe election of yell leaders. They sponsor the Homecoming Activities and act as an advisory group for the use of the money received from the Halloween Carnival. LIBRARY Our school library was organized in 1942 from funds available for library use through the will of Thomas M. Reveal. At the present, the library serves some 750 students. The teachers withdraw books for use in grades one and two. Grades three through eight visit the library once a week according to a definite schedule. High school students are permitted to use the library through a system of individual excuses handled through the study hall teachers. In addition to its function of curriculum enrichment, the aims of the library include the following: to aid students in the efficient use of books and libraries, to provide an opportunity for students to work independently and creatively, to stimulate reading for pleasure and research, to develop proper behavior attitudes and the practice of good citizenship. Miss Myers is our librarian and is assisted by some of the students. The library has a good selection of books from which to choose with a special section for the little children, as well as for the junior high and high school. G.A.A. The Girls' Athletic Association, sponsored by Beulah Frist, selected as its officers: President, Helen Hollingsworth, Vice-President, Judith Whybrew, Secretary, Ruthannah Goodg Treasurer, Carolyn Leap. New members were selected by means of a testing program. The ten girls who became eligible for membership were: Harriet Wheeler, Janice Guion, Suzanne Flick, CarolReese, Phyllis Fults, Re- becca Shrigley, Lynne Hunt, Yona Dicoff, Gloria Stewart, and Linda McCoy. During the year the activities in which the girls participated were deck tennis, volleyball, kickball, basketball, stunts, tumbling, and dancing. The girls played four volleyball games with other schools. The season record was: Pike 34 Decatur Central 32 Pike 49 Zionsville 5 Pike 22 Southport 20 Pike 31 Lawrence 41 During the school year, the G.A.A. sponsored the following scoial activities: Initiation Party, Homecoming Dance, Jack and Jill Date Party, Basketball Mixer, Come As You Are Party, and Farewell Party, CAFETERIA One of the brighter spots at Pike this year is our brand new school lunchroom. Not only do we have a completely new cafeteria with all the modern equipment, but we also have an excellent cooking staff to back it up. Mrs. Wright is once again in charge with Mrs. Cochran, Mrs. Bragg, Mrs. Muir, Mrs. Longmire, and Mrs. Murphy as her able assistants. The cafeteria, which is attractively decorated in two-tone green, can easily seat 300. All new equipment was installed in the kitchen including food dis- posals, a walk-in refrigerator, and many other handy modernconveniences. This year an entirely new lunch system was initiated at Pike. Our fourth period was extended to seventy-five minutes and divided into three twenty-five minute lunch period segments. Students have two of these for classes and one for their lunch period. Meal tickets are now purchased Qprices according to gradesj instead of paying directly for meals. As for the meals themselves they are top notch, well-balanced meals, which are carefully worked out by Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Teter. For the first time in several years the school is now operating the cafeteria. Many of the high school students work there, the girls helping with the serving, the boys with the dishes. Other school activities are also held in the lunchroom. After home ball games on Friday nights, you can always find the students in the cafeteria pushing back the tables and preparing for a dance. Several parties, sponsored by different classes and organizations are also held here during the year. Not only do Mrs. Wright and her assistants serve 650 students five days a week, but they also have cooked many suppers and banquets for various activities. All in all our new cafeteria has been a great boost to students and our school program. SPORTS U- .1 1, ah ws ? Q . X. , f ',,, FOOTBALL ,-wrwbk' 1 Jie! Ts Q wwf FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS: Ann Schmidt, Carol Chapman, Lou Baughman, Sandra Silver. 1953 FOOTBALL SEASON The 1953 Football team was a team which most people thought would be lucky to win one game. The team was made up of six returning lettermen: Mike Noone, Bob Bender, ,T oe Lane, Don Lane, Norman Starkey, and George McCloud plus a number of untried upper and lower classmen. This team Lmder the guidance of Coach Clifford Reese and Coach Dante Schiavone gained momentum each game to accomplish a winning season. The record stood at four wins, three losses, and one tie. SEPTEMBER 1 For the first time in county football history, a Jamboree was held at CYO Stadium. Pike, represent- ing the North, drew Decatur Central and fought to a deadlock of O to 0 in their quarter. The Jamboree was not counted as a game, but only served as a warm-up for the season's opener with Speedway. SEPTEMBER 4 Speedway, the opening opponent of the season and a great rival of Pike, was an exciting game. Joe Lane creashed through for two Pike touchdowns, but Speedway squeezed by 13 to 12. SEPTEMBER 11 Pike traveled to Lawrence Central to play the future County and Capital District Champs. Although riddled with injuries, Pike led for three quarters, 6 to 0 on a touchdown scored by Alan Cordill. Lawrence scored twice in the final quarter and won, 13 to 6. SEPTEMBER 18 The fans were begining to think we ould not even win one game. Carmel was our next opponent and we got into our winning ways by defeating them 18 to 12, Don Lane scored two touchdowns and J ay Hard- castle scored one. SEPTEMBER 25 The following Friday Ben Davis gave us a very good lesson in pass defense when they defeated us 32 to 7, Alan Cordill got the lone touchdown for Pike. Tom Laing, senior guard, suffered a broken wrist in this game and was out for the remainder of the season. OCTOBER 2 From this game on, Pike began to hit their stride. We took Beech Grove 20 to 7, with Joe Lane, Don Lane, and Alan Cordill each scoring touchdowns. OCTOBER 9 Possibly our finest game was the Homecoming Game which we played against Danville. Danville, rated as one of the state's better teams, was held to a 6 to 6 tie. Don Lane got the Pike touchdown. OCTOBER 16 The next week we traveled to Franklin Twp. and after a rough first half moved ahead to win 13 to 7. Don Lane and J oe Lane tood care of the scoring. OCTOBER 21 Our final game of the season was played at Deaf School. We took care of them quickly with the final score standing 34 to 12. Everyone got into the act this game with Alan Cordill getting two touch- downs and Done Lane, J oe Lane, and J ay Hardcastle each getting one.
