Surely, you tell yourself, there has to be something more to school than Fri- day afternoon pep sessions; after all, what causes all the commotion every nine weeks? There Is no denying that foot- ball players and cheerleaders are well-known around the school. But other faces, different kinds of faces, are recognized right along with them— people who couldn ' t make a lay-up if their lives depended on it, people who ' s looks will probably never knock ' em dead in the street, people who can ' t explain transformational gram- mar, who can ' t remember who said Nuts to the Germans, or who go crazy just like the rest of us trying to work geometric proofs. To really get a good look at our- selves, to really be able to form our own self-image, we have to ignore the labels other people give us. We have to take ourselves for what we are, not what others say we are.

But one thing is the same for everyone— nobody minds too much when 2:15 finally rolls around. It ' s not too often that you see someone asking his sixth period teacher if he can learn for just a couple hours more. Sure, school is okay. It ' s a good place to see your friends, and it gives you something to do every morning at 7:45 when anyone in his right mind would be asleep. Sometimes you emerge from the building and find that you have actually learned something. But there are other things away from school— football and basketball games, parties, dates, and jobs. It ' s there on the outside that you ' ve got a chance to do what you want, not what some structured time schedule says you have to do. You can be yourself, not what some teacher or student would like you to be. •n the Above: Junior Chris Myers spends a Friday eve- ning In Pike ' s concession stand during a football game.

To most Pike stu- dents summer meant pleasant disruptions. Summer disrupted the routines that students had set for themselves during the regular school year. Long, hot days with many hours to fill took the place of the 7:45-2:15 school schedule. June days were the easiest for most students to find activities to fill their time. Just getting away from the books, students had many things to do and goals to accomplish. At the top of the list for many was getting a good suntan. Swimming and throwing out- of-school parties also crowded many Above: Mr. Stanley Ricks, band director, gives the band instructions in preparation for ttie 1975 Band Day contest at the State Fair.

July brought a change again in many students ' plans. Swimming and all of the activities that students found irresistible in June began to grow old. Newer and more amusing activities were found to occupy student ' s time. King ' s Island outings, seeing the latest movies and going to Eagle Creek Park for picnics were some of July ' s activities. August brought boredom for many. Moviemakers realized the lull in activi- ties would be a good chance to make money— they were proved right after the release of Jaws. Several coaches started practice during the last weeks of August; students began to turn their attention back to school and its rou- tines after their imaginative minds ran out of things to do. g fhe Summer Theatre Workshop was an experiment of sorts at Pike. Essentially, Mr. James Myers, director, wanted to see if a summer workshop would work and if anyone would sign up. The play, Neil Simon ' s Barefoot in the Park, was a success with 20 students participating. The final product began in the form of tryouts and cleanup during summer school hours. After canvas was torn off old flats and wood was sorted, the set was designed and the floor taped to show where the new set would be. As actors rehearsed, new flats were covered, costumes were found at Goodwill and props were borrowed from all around town. One of the purposes of the work- shop was to give everyone a chance to do everything. All actors helped build and paint the set, and the crews took turns at portraying the characters. The comedy itself concerned the tri- als and tribulations of newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter (senior Liz White and junior Jeff Jump). The vis- itors up to th eir fifth floor New York brownstone included an ancient deliv- ery man (senior Rick Miller) and a tele- phone man (junior Jeff Edwards). The young couple also had to contend with Victor Velasco, the Bluebeard of 48th Street from upstairs (junior Bruce Buckwalter) and Corie ' s mother (se- nior Nancy Beverly).  ' Below: After a trip to Staten Island for dinner and a five flight climb, junior Jeff Jump struggles in the door with senior Nancy Beverly.

We live at school seven hours a day, five days a week, nine months out of the year. That doesn ' t include athletic practice, play rehearsals and club meetings af- ter school. When the bell rang on the last day of school in June, the kids who had en- rolled in a summer school might as well have stayed seated. Band mem- bers and football players walked out the door, said hello to the outside world, and headed back to Pike. Sometimes it just doesn ' t seem worth it— leaving the sunshine and poolside to hit the books, and having to wake up at 6:00 a.m. Yep. We ' re here at Pike High School for another nine months— in sickness and in health ( I think I ' m catching a cold from the air conditioning. ) for ri- cher or for poorer ( $24.95 for book rental?! ' ) for better or for worse. ( I think I flunked my calculus test. ) The 1975-76 school year is here.

For the first time since perhaps the beginning of time, a class (this time, the one of ' 76) went through four years at Pike without winning the float competition. The junior class be- came victors (as in many years past) with their Liberty Bell float. Soph- omores were second, the band third, frosh fourth and seniors fifth.

Juniors and sophomores tied for third with 26 points each. Apart from the perfect senior record (four losses), there was no major dif- ference between the 1975 home- coming and those in the past. A large, enthusiastic crowd full of past gradu- ates was on hand for the festivities. At half-time, a queen, Joni Cummins, was crowned, and cars full of cheer- leaders, lettermen and junior leaders drove by. The night wouldn ' t have been complete without the big traffic jam after the game. And that ' s the point of homecoming, this year and in years past— nothing to- tally unique, just a little fun com- petition, spirit and enjoyment. l Raisin in tine Sun, a milestone in I drama, was first presented I March 1 1 , 1959. This was no or- dinary play because it was the first play written by a Negro woman, Lor- raine Hansberry, to be produced on Broadway. It was the first to be di- rected by a Negro in over half a cen- tury and became the first play written by a black to receive the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. On November 7 and 8 the drama was also a first for Pike in that no other predominately black play had ever been presented here. It was the story of a Negro family in Chicago who wanted to better them- selves. Walter (junior Pete Randall) wanted to invest his deceased father ' s insurance money in a liquor store, much to his wife ' s dismay (senior Tracey Middlebrooks).. Walter ' s sister Beneatha (junior Karen Gordon) wanted to use the money to go to col- lege and become a doctor. Mama (ju- nior Daron Walker) desired a decent home in the suburbs. Other cast members included senior Tamee Hyde, juniors Jeff Edwards, Tim Holmes, sophomore Michael Diggs and freshmen David Arnold and Steve Robertson. Author Lorraine Hansberry, who died at age 34 of cancer, said, I tried to show . . . the many graduations in even one Negro family, the clash of the old and the new, but most of all the un- believable courage of the Negro people.

Below: Emcee and senior Tom Roberson looks serious while doing one of his many impressions. He impersonated Batman and Robin and Richard Nixon, among other celebrities. Bichard Nixon, John Wayne and Foster Brooks all visited Pike October 11. Actually, none of these men stepped into the building, but all of them came in the form of Tom Roberson senior, to the Talent Show. Tom emceed the all-school show and did 31 comic impressions during the course of it. According to Mr. Richard Green- land, co-sponsor with Mr. Stanley Ricks of the show, there was a fairly good turnout for the Talent Show tryouts and the only problem that arose this year was that many of the most talented students in the school would not try out. The reason for this, he said, they won ' t perform because the audiences are so unreceptive to fine arts. The audience likes more of the vaudeville type thing. H ovies and television played an important role in the lives of most people at Pike. Activities and schedules revolved around them. People made sure they were home or around a T.V. set in time for their fa- vorite show. On rainy weekends, people swarmed to the nearest movie theatre to see a movie they most likely had seen before. Television shows seemed to be striv- ing to be different. NBC ' s Saturday Night, despite its late viewing time was a strong favorite of many, along with Mary Haiiman, Mary Hartman and Wel- come Back, Kotter. The theme song of Welcome Back, Kotter even made the top of the charts in late May. Shows like Mary Tyler Moore and The Waltons continued to be strong. Seeing movies such as those shown at the right was also a favorite pastime of many students. The prices contin- ued to skyrocket as the theatre man- agers and personnel realized that people were going to continue coming at almost any price. What makes movies and T.V. so popular? Today, students seem to watch and observe an activity instead of actually participating. It is much more common to see a group of guys watch a baseball game on T.V. instead of going outside and playing the game itself. People take advantage of the al- ready-made entertainment instead of creating their own. Movies and T.V. are also a form of procrastination; I ' ll do my homework after this com- mercial , or But, Mom, I promised Sue I ' d meet her at the show. Still, no matter what the reason, they are a form of entertainment enjoyed by most everyone.

It ' s found in plays, between classes, and in the band, to name a few. But take a look inside the gym on Friday or Saturday nights when the weather transforms your breath into a white, wispy cloud, and you ' ll see spirit abounding in excess. The Indiana climate is perfect, the hardwood soil is rich, and its roots stretch deep below the bleachers that Bottom: Music supplied by the pep band leads the student body into the gymnasium for the Sec- tional pep session. Bottom photo by Greg Shank line the gym. Spirit in its purest form feeds on winning and thrives on tall, string-bean players who have a strange affinity for round-netted hoops. Farmers of the crop are many; the coaches are well-versed in their trade. It dies every spring around March in an over-sized gym called Market Square Arena. Even from the moment of its death, the seeds are planted for the next year ' s harvest, and it springs up anew each November. It does not die easily, for it is an old tradition fol- lowed by both young and old. It is one vital form of spirit. It is Hoosier Hysteria. large cast, big production num- bers and flashy costumes are the usual elements found in a musical. Carnival, the midwinter pro- duction, was no exception, and in ad- dition, it had live animals on stage and lights strung directly over the audience. But, Carnival did have something special— a serious, dramatic plot under all of those magic tricks and grease paint. It was the story of a naive, optimistic girl named Lili (sophomore Ann East- ridge) who travels to a carnival seeking employment after her father dies. Her naivity is catered to by Marco the Mag- nificent, the carnival ' s magician Qunior Bruce Buckwalter). She receives Right: During the song Cirque de Paris, the cast members performed various acrobatic tricks such as this pyramid, which is on the way down.

Lili ' s life isn ' t dimmed too much even by the hard driving carnival owner (senior Ted Pearson) nor by the animosity from Marco ' s partner Rosalie (sophomore Joanie Crowe). However, her world is complicated most by the other puppeteer, Paul (se- nior Jay Poindexter). He is an injured dancer who takes out his bitterness on everyone else, especially Lili. That bi- tterness, though, is only a front, be- cause he, too, needs love, and he, too, falls prey to Lili ' s hopefulness. So instead of a splashy bang for an end, the play closes quietly as Paul and Lili walk off together, arm in arm. Top left: As Paul, the bitter puppeteer, senior Jay Poindexter sings to Carrot Top, asking why people like the puppet but no one likes him.

Although a small vari- ety of convocations were offered this year to please students, many gripes were still heard. Students complained about not hav- ing any rock-n-roll musical con- vocations although last year the same students complained about the preaching at the end of such performances. Other complaints students voiced this year included gripes about the College Investigation Series and gripes about each year ' s convos being repeats of those of previous years. But yet, nobody really worked to help the administration come up with ideas and convos that the student body would appreciate. 27 grlttis stae allie mmm If the other plays at Pike were spe- cial or a little different from the norm, the spring play, A Feiffer Review, was completely off the beaten tracl . The satire by Julies Feiffer didn ' t have a plot, or a set or leads. But it did have cartoons pasted on the walls from newspapers. And it did have slides on the backwall that gave the title of each skit plus a strobe light and ringing bell when the cast rearranged movable platforms. If anything, A Feif- fer Review was unusual. The cast, all dressed as black and white cartoon characters, would give monologues, dialogues and conversa- tions that poked fun at any imaginable topic. The cast made fun of violence, parents, teen-agers, blacks, whites, getting old, politics and love. Splashes of color, costume-wise, oc- curred in the form of senior Tracey Middlebrooks ' Plaintive Song and senior Paul Crowe ' s rendition of Su- perman. Two of the people who were the same character throughout were sophomore Julia Navarre as the dancer in a pink tutu and junior Jeff Edwards as Bernard, the show ' s born loser. Not only was the play itself a break from tradition, so were the technical aspects. A tech crew normally has 60 to 70 cues per show. For Feiffer, under the direction of junior Beth Bailey, the crew had close to 300, which included lights, music, a fire bell and slides. An- other highlight of the show was when the lightboard suffered a major power failure on Friday night, and the cast finished the second act in work lights. Above: I scorn you!

In- dustry made money out of Bicentennial products. Bicentennial Minutes could be seen every night on television. Stores had special 76 cents sales. While the na- tion was celebrating its 200th birthday, the media reported various interesting news stories. During the 1975-76 year, reporters covered Patty Hearst ' s trial, the assassi- nation attempts on President Gerald Ford, Muhammad Ali ' sThrilla in Manila, YKNOWpLLIE, REALLY TWIN K THE FiCrHT BETWEEN ALI AND HI5WIFE WAS BETTER THAN THE TMRILLA . New York City ' s money problems, scan- dals with the CIA and FBI and Jimmy Hoffa ' s disappearance. Locally, the journalists covered the mayorial race whichWilliam Hudnut won and Senator Birch Bayh ' s run for the Presidency. Senator Bayh dropped out of the race after a bad showing in the Massachusetts primary. The big stories around the world in- cluded Generalissimo Francisco Franco ' s death (finally) in Spain and the omni- present threat of war in the Middle East. Drawing by Steve Adams.

Below: Senior Christy Wilson and her date, Chip Longfellow, do the Bump to some of the livelier music at the prom. Iike many things that happen at the same time once a year or at regular intervals, the prom has become a tradition. The prom, however, has always been a subject of controversy and a victim of criticism and complaints about the cost, music, formality and at- mosphere. But year after year, these people who complain attend the prom and generally have a good time. But some who attended the prom Summer Breeze said they could have had a better time doing some- thing that was more suited to their life- style and routine. Many times a girl will go to the prom with someone she hardly knows and wonders why she ' s not having as good a time as a couple who ' s been dating for over a year. Left: The prom is not always dancing, as shown by junior Bob Hildebrand and freshman Lisa Ea- ton as they rest during a break in the music. Above: Glenna Woodard, senior, and Pike gradu- ate Steve Hill dance to the music of the Steve Rose Quintet at the prom. 33 i True, there always has to be a first date, but with all of the excitement, nervousness and costs of going to the prom, it ' s less than an ideal one. The cost of going to the prom is an- other problem altogether. The price of renting a tux or getting a formal, going to dinner, tickets, flowers and gas seems way out of hand and out of reach for the average high school student. However, the fact remains that stu- dents do go to the prom. Aside from being a tradition, it has a certain splen- dor and excitement. It allows students to break from their routine, and a group of people whose major ward- robe consists of blue jeans and over- alls to dress up in formals and tuxes, at least for one night.

One biQ fuss about one little birthday MiiJik f One big fuss about one little birth- day—that ' s what it was. If it had been anybody else ' s birthday— yours, for in- stance, you would have blown some candles and eaten your cake, opened some presents, and awakened the next day a year older. And that would have been it. But America ' s 200th birthday was not just anybody ' s birthday. Planning and celebrating began months before July 4, 1976. Red, white, and blue seemed to sprout up everywhere— on signs, trash cans, clothes, displays, and products. CBS aired Bicentennial IVIinutes a full year before the date. Parades were not complete without a Bicentennial float or two and a band dressed up as patri- otic soldiers. Fourth graders across the country auditioned for leading roles in their school play, hoping to be George Washington or Thomas Jeffer- son, or, for the liberally-minded little la- dies, Betsy Ross or Abigail Adams. It seemed that the Bicentennial was everywhere. It woke up with you in the morning on the television. It followed you to school, waiting in art displays and bulletin boards. And it went to sleep with you, coming across on the radio. And when July 5 came around, America was one year older, just like you. The climax of all the fireworks, singing and celebrating was over. It was one big fuss about one little birth- day—no more, no less. It was the Bicentennial. I A The Five First Ladhs Pike Township was laid out and erected along with several other town- ships on April 16, 1822. It was, at that time, joined with Wayne Township, but this union was broken in 1824. James Harmon is credited as the first white man to settle in Pike. He came here in 1820 and settled near Eagle Creek. He was joined by many other settlers, including several Klingesmith and Hollingsworth fam- ilies. Lafayette Road, built in 1831-32, was the first major transportation route in the township. Several small towns sprang up Pike ' s story across the township, the major ones being Old Augusta, Hosbrook (New Augusta) and Traders Point. The first classes were taught in the cabins of settlers, and in 1843, the first woman teacher, Nancy Felton, began instruct- ing her charges. From this point the township grew rapidly. The schools expanded, the roads improved, and the population in- creased. In the 154 years since its be- ginning. Pike has changed along with the times into the modern community it is today. 35 I ' m sorry MR, JEFFERSON BUT YOUR 5PELING IS ATROCIOUS YOUR PUNCTUAttON 15 LUDICROUS... You know, America is one great na- tion. What mal es us great? Just tal e a quick look around at all we ' ve got, and you ' ll see buildings, cars, houses, stores, roads, and lots of green land that lines those roads. And who made it all what it is today? Why, the Ameri- can people, of course. Yes, we ' ve got an awful lot to be proud of, and our people are the ones who ' ve done it all. It wasn ' t easy; it took guts, sweat, hard work, and prac- tical, resourceful minds. Yes, if you can call the American people anything, it ' s resourceful. We just don ' t miss a chance to pull ahead; we never let a good opportunity go to waste— it just wouldn ' t be American if we did. For example, take a look inside the stores across the country. Walk into any one of them, and you ' ll see mil- lions of items selling with a Bi- centennial pitch of some sort. There ' s buy-centennial sales. Bicentennial cosmetics, Bicentennial school sup- plies—the list goes on forever. In fact. If you venture into any shopping cen- ter, you ' ll encounter so many things with a Bicentennial theme that you ' ll see red, white and blue double for days. The stores just can ' t pass up the two hundred year anniversary— it ' s too good an opportunity. One thing is for sure, our retailers know a good chance at a buck or two when they see one. But, of course, we wouldn ' t have it any different; it ' s that kind of resourceful thinking that has made our country what it is today. No doubt about it, it ' s the American way.

When the audience sees the fi- nal product at Band Spec- tacular—with the pretty lights, dancing girls and lilting music— they may not realize what went into putting on a show of that size, or the Inter- esting Perplexities The Band Encoun- tered That Had Nothing To Do With Playing Their Instruments. First, the finale contained the largest piece of set work ever used for spec— a showboat. Just getting the monster on stage caused a few head- aches. And before that, it had to be built from the Kleenex box replica. The second story for it had to be made so it didn ' t sway five feet in either direction. Difficulties occurred in trying to wire it for lights, especially the paddlewheel. A rainbow was built for background and the members had great fun in tin- ting paint for it, trying to achieve seven shades of blue. This meant (naturally) two hours of washing out paint brushes. The rainbow also contained 216 lightbulbs of Bicentennial red, white and blue. Senior Jay Poindexter, who served as emcee, came across problems when trying to figure out when to change costumes since he had to sing and dance, too. The Pikettes lacked most of their music for some time and also worried about costume ideas. Teaching the routines took a little longer this year because many of the girls hadn ' t had a dancing backround. A dance teacher came in the last week, but as senior Katrina Schuch said, it would have been better two weeks earlier. She added that everyone would have liked to have had more rehearsal time, but It always comes out okay. Once on stage, the band made it through the Cole Porter medley, the suite from Jaws and Chicago VIII se- lections. The Jazz Ensemble played the theme from SWAT, and Jay and the Pikettes danced to numbers from A Chorus Line. The Concert Choir came in on the finale from Showboat, and as Katrina said, it came out okay.

The weather didn ' t behave as well as the year before, and Mr. Greenland said that without clothespins to hold the music, the musicians would have had wind trouble. ■ Christmas was next and, according to the choral director, we had a great season, The innovation was the first holiday dinner concert; seventy-five singers and musicians were involved in chamber music. Also, the Concert Choir and Accents sang downtown on the Circle. Spring Sing was the next big event. Mr. Greenland felt that having three original compositions, two by stu- dents, added an interesting touch to the evening. The other performances included outside events, mostly by the Hi- Tones. The Hi-Tones were different this year in that there was a revolving membership, so most of the Concert Choir students sang in the group at one time or another. Music was provided at all home foot- ball and basketball games by Mr. Stanley Ricks ' marching and pep bands. The most active group was the A Jazz Ensemble, which played at both high school and adult dances. The bands also performed at the Christmas and spring concerts, Spec- tacular and contests. By far, their biggest event, said Mr. Ricks, was the June performances in Washington, D.C. The volunteer band 40 Right: A new addition to the music department ' s calendar was the IVIadrigal Dinner.

Besides visiting the White House, the group also went to Philadelphia and New York. The orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Barbara Jeffries, participated in the Chrismas concert this year. About 25 members went to contest, with the one ensemble and junior Karen Albert taking firsts at State. They went to a district contest at La- fayette in April, too. Mr. Jackson Whiley, director of the Butler Sym- phony, came out to help the group prepare for it. The orchestra also gave a concert for Central Elementary and had mem- bers playing for the musical Carnival. Mrs. Cynthia Arden, recent Butler graduate, was this year ' s new addition to the orchestra teaching staff.

At last graduation rolled around, and with It came the usual fun— receptions and parties (with the mutual feeling Mon- day morning that if we ever saw an- other piece of cake we would throw up), the clicking of cameras in the cafeteria and a mad search for bobby pins for the caps which were all too big. There was that excitement in the air as we marched into the gym to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance. This year baccalaureate and com- mencement were combined into one afternoon proceeding that lasted a little over an hour. In the hour, as we sat through the diploma dispensing and speeches by valedictorian Apryl Abraham and salutatorian Dan Scheldt, different thoughts crept into senior minds. It wasn ' t going to be fun saying good-bye to our friends, the majority of whom we would never see again. We hated to give up those little pranks, like singing Jingle Bells before Christ- mas vacation in Advanced Comp while jingling keys and loose change. However, in another way, we wanted out. We wanted to give life a try, to go out there and make it on our own. We were tired of the same old routines. Something different would be nice. Whether we wanted out or not, we were; childhood was definitely over and so was the great dependency on Mom and Dad. When graduation finally came, it was a sad good-bye to the past and a big hello to the future. AND NOW. TIMEOUT Rod: Island ... in real luxury with a deep-dish Sicilian pizza.

We ' ve got a winning streak to pre- serve. What about the ratings? The coach is sitting quietly. He is calm. After all, they know what to do. They can ' t miss it. I ' ve got a record to maintain. The ref signals, and the clock and players begin to move toward the final basket. One of them is open. Suddenly, the ball is in his hands, and his feet leave the floor for the shot. I can ' t miss it. What would the coach say? The ball leaves his hands in a slow arc toward the hoop, and every face in the gym moves with it. In a few seconds many people will be very happy, or very disappointed. The game is important. And not just this one— but every game. And what about ail the other teams— they mean a lot too. Obviously, athletics are important. Where would we go Friday nights? How could we make up for the lost revenue? What would happen to school spirit? Most probably, all that attention would be channeled somewhere else, into some other school activity. Sure the game is important. But without it, life at Pike would go on; 50 -45 bell would ring every morning just like it always has. Athletics do not make Pike. Pike makes athletics. And next Friday night, the crowd will be on its feet, the coach will be there at the sidelines, and five home players will be out on the floor. Just like the game itself, winning is important. But, as corny as it may sound, it should be kept in mind that it ' s not whether you win or lose. iMt ton l|M tai| Above right: Track practice means running laps for juniors Derrick Jones and Phil Kenneson.

Above: Junior Julie Ready blocks a shot in a B- team volleyball match while freshman Sharon Green and sophomore Kathy Thompson move to assist her. Under the sun Pike is a school cinanging in many areas and athletics is no exception. Ten years ago if a student wanted to play football, no matter how developed his talents, he probably went out for the team. Now, that student waits until Saturday, rounds up ten friends and heads for the nearest field. This does not necessarily mean a state of apathy has taken place, but kids seem to be getting away from the team aspect of sports. They play on an extra-curricular level simply for fun. Bicycling has become increasingly popular in recent years and soph- omore Steve Whitmore, junior Jay Crawford and senior Jim Levinsohn will attest to this fact. These three have become avid cyclists and last summer they took a 450 mile tour of Wisconsin. Many cycling clubs and routes have been resurrected in recent years also proving the sports popularity. Alley basketball and sandlot football also appeared with seemingly endless popularity again last fall. A person in search of a Saturday football game generally did not have to look any fur- ther than Eastbrook Elementary School for his excitement if the month happened to be September or Octo- ber. For basketball, one quick trip around College Park was enough to find a game. Pike also sponsored many extra-cur- ricular athletic activities in 1975-76. Sure IHSAA was around for those who were interested, but the Saturday athlete is beginning to play an increas- ing role in Pike Township ' s changing environment.

Sophomore Dan Valenti demonstrates his skill. ...6hiyerin ' in the cold When cold weather arrived some of Pike ' s more timid students headed in- side for their recreation. Winter failed to frighten many however, and for these souls snow was an endless source of entertainment. This was proved in late November when the first snow of the season hit Pike township. Books were cast away temporarily as students waxed their sled runners and headed for the favor- ite hills. Butler ' s hill was a top spot along with a number of hills in Zionsville. Another popular winter sport for those who could afford it was snow skiing. After the price of equipment was examined, this form of recreation lost a great deal of its popularity. Young Life compensated for this dur- ing Christmas vacation however, as Pike students learned to ski on a four day relatively inexpensive trip to Wisconsin. Ice hockey was a third alternate for the winter activist, but Pike township seemed to suffer from a lack of skating facilities. Eagle Creek Reservoir was popular but unsafe. This was one rea- son Student Council sponsored a skat- ing party at the Carmel Ice Dome. Another Student Council project for the snowy months was the intramural basketball tournament. Members of the winning team were seniors Neal Howe, Mark Shockley, Dana Pierce, ju- nior Mark Eaton and sophomore Don Chapman. Right: Student Council offered a number of ath letic activities during the winter months and In tramural basketball was one. Senior Pat Call ahan takes a shot during the tournament Bottom right: Junior Scott Wertz enjoys go-car ting on an icy road in his neighborhood 55 Pike football coach Howard Buck- waiter cited three elements that he felt were needed for a really excellent team. These were dedication and pride, the ability to avoid big mistakes at critical times, and some degree of luck. I ' m very proud of this football team, commented Buckwalter, and I believe we had all the dedication and pride that was needed to play an ex- cellent game. We just had a little trouble avoiding the big mistakes! This, according to the coach, was how Pike created its pattern of almosts in 1975, finishing 3-7. Things went wrong from the very be- ginning for the Red Devils as they al- most won three of the first four games before tasting victory at Beech Grove. Pike lost its first two contests at Ben Davis and Greenfield, dropping both games by less than a touchdown. Perry Meridian disappointed Devil fans the following week, but only because of a series of costly mistakes. Buck- waiter said Pike fumbled on its first four offensive attempts and later fum- bled six more times inside its own twenty. State ranked Lawrence Central provided the third almost as Pike was first on the scoreboard with a 54 yard TD romp by senior Joe Jeffs. Mistakes took their toll again however, and the Bears ended up on top 14-34. Pike celebrated homecoming with a victory over Decatur Central 26-7 be- fore entering another three game se- ries of close calls with Franklin Cen- tral, Ritter, and Speedway. All were lost by a touchdown or less. The season closed with a triumph over Brebeuf 28-7. According to two team members this was one of the big- gest games of the year because the Braves are both county and township rivals. Senior linebacker Pat Callahan was voted MVP by his teammates and se- niors Joe Jeffs, Bob Meyers and Mike Walker were the chosen captains. Walker and Meyers were honored with trophies for most improved back and most improved lineman while senior Mike Scully received the defensive award.

Just getting started Picture yourself snuggled in bed on a warm mid-August morning,. Sleeping soundly, you roll away from the sun- light gleaming in from the window above. As dreams of your final year in school, girls and parties float through your mind, the alarm clock brings you back to reality with a loud buzzzzz. Glancing at the clock it reads 6:30 and your mind slowly begins to wake up to the fact that you have football practice in half an hour. You do not even bother to get dressed. What ' s the use when you just have to take it off ten minutes later? Climbing out of bed you manage to pull on a pair of gym trunks. Making a few short steps to the front door, you grab your keys and a cooler full of twinkles, kool-aid, cookies, potato chips, and other nutritious foods and head for the field. It takes three minutes to reach the parking lot where your bare feet carry you into the locker room. The clock reads 6:50 as each warrior clad in his armor prays for the strength to make it through the eight hour prac- tice session. At exactly 6:55 Coach Buckwalter enters the room with the day ' s agenda. After going over the time schedule, he cannot help but no- tice the weariness throughout the room and tries to bring his troops around with some Woody Hayes jokes. Everyone laughs but the thought of what is to follow cuts short the sadistic wisecracks. It is time, he an- nounces. You make your way to the track to take a few warm-up laps, hit the red line and wait for the stragglers to catch up. The worst part is over; just getting started seems to be the hardest to overcome.

This helps the boys as well as the team in many ways, said Mr. Tom Campbell, coach of the reserve squad. First of all it gives the team a chance to work together as a unit. It will prepare the boy for varsity action and will also give him a chance to improve his skills on somebody at his own level. Further- more it allows the player to be in an ac- tual game experience. Among highlights of the year in- cluded a shutout over Brownsburg along with the offensive punch of half- back Wendell Johnson, and quarter- back Joe Hamm, sophomores. Coached by Mr. Jim O ' Brien and Mr. Jeff Bourff, the freshman football team was able to compile a record of 4-5. Even though their record fell below .500, many team members believed that theirs was a more physical team than any other they had played. Lead- ing the defensive squad for the Devils were Brian Black and Jeff Weston. Of- fensive standouts were John Buckwal- ter and Ed Oliverio . !■ i,- - - i , ..

Although basically still young and in- experienced, the girls ' golf team won two matches this year. Coach Pat Bammer said, I ' ve had almost the same girls for three years now and if they continue to play in the summer and take lessons, there is no reason why they will not improve. Practice sessions, which started in August, consisted of the team playing four or five holes, while keeping chip- ping and proper approach in mind. With 17 girls vying for a place on the card, two 9 hole qualifying rounds were played to decide the 7 team berths. Then Mrs. Kim Worrel, assis- tant pro at the Woodland Country Club, came to Pike to show the girls techniques in stroking. Letter winners were senior Karen Rothkopf, and juniors Elaine Fetta, Chris Clay, Cathy Clay and Shelly Lackey. The MVP went to Cathy Clay for the second straight year, as her average was 65.5. Although Pike ' s volleyball team was only able to muster a 3-9 record in 1975, Coach Cheryl Hinton was not as dejected about the season as might be expected. We had a number of high 3 (|)3oi 3oi 01 points and the girls played well in sev- eral we lost, she said. It was just a matter of getting good breaks at the right time. One noted high point occured in the Sectional contest where the girls de- feated Washington in the first two of a three-game match. This brought Pike into the semi-finals, but Shortridge downed the Red Devils in three close games. Two other games that Miss Hinton said she was pleased with took place against Ben Davis and Warren Central. Although these teams had better than .500 records. Pike played com- petitively in both instances and lost by small margins, according to the coach. Letter winners on the varsity team were juniors Barb Hypes, Deb Hill and Linda Nichols, sophomores Lu Hill, Anne Wellman, and Marsha Gilles, and freshman Gail Swanson. The MVP was awarded to Lu Hill, and Apryl Abraham was chosen team captain.

( [?(D j opapi ©oac m If not the best, it has to be one of the better teams I ' ve coached in my six years at Pike, said coach Joel Lea- man of this year ' s cross country team. One of the many reasons supporting this statement is the fact that the har- riers were able to place well in big meets. At Decatur Central Pike ran to a third place finish out of 10, falling behind the host Hawks and Brebeuf Braves. While at the Franklin Central In- vitational, Pike placed second of nine, losing only to Franklin. An high place- ment came for Pike in the annual Ho- kum Karum when the Devils were third of ten. Of the sectional Mr. Leaman said he believed it ' s the highest Pike has ever placed in the contest.

Senior Bill Hise placed eighth in the individual event. Summer workouts began in August and the team kept a running total over the year of all their mileage. Over the 15 week period, they ran over 350 miles. Mr. Leaman commented that this team would work hard no matter how hard the work load was and usu- ally joked with each other to make the practices easier. Seniors included Dick Elliott, Bill Hise, Gary Hollingsworth, Mark Bruin and Jeff Ellis, all of whom lettered. Other letterwinners were freshman Fred Linder and junior Jay Crawford. Team captain was Gary Hollingsworth and the MVP went to Bill Hise for the second straight year. Below: Team captain Gary Hollingsworth, senior, runs even with an opponent from Broad Ripple. Gary went on to win the meet. The Red Devil tennis team advanced to the Sectional finals this year before falling to an improved Brebeuf team 3- 2. Coach Ed Blohm, in his second year as tennis coach, explained, We had beaten Brebeuf previously in the year by vi inning our doubles matches; how- ever, in the Sectionals our doubles teams were defeated, the reason being when Pike originally played the Braves, two of their better players were out of the line up. Blohm also pointed out that in tight matches the doubles teams of seniors Mark Shockley— Jim Levinsohn of one team and junior Byron Shaffer-John Levinsohn, sophomore, of the other, helped the team standings a great deal. Shockley and Levinsohn finished the year with 14-4 record, while Shaf- fer and Levinsohn closed out the year 13-3. Leading the team in singles matches was sophomore Paul Rolfes with a season record of 12-7. Supporting the number two spot was Jeff Girod, ju- nior, who carried an 11-8 slate. Senior Marc Rolfes in the number three spot went 12-5 for the year. Weather treated the team well as only one match was rained out. But with a tight schedule of sometimes four matches a week we usually just had time for challenge matches, said coach Blohm. In tournament competition the ra- quetmen made the finals in the confer- ence and quarter finals in the county. Senior Mark Shockley was team captain as the MVP award went to Paul Rolfes. Together they led the team to an over-season record of 13 wins against 6 losses.

Although only 6-6 in dual meet competition, the squad did break eight school records during the course of the year, and this is what was most encouraging to the coach. The eight records were charted by senior Chris Taylor, 50 yard breastst- roke and 100 yard breaststroke; junior Andra Ozolins, 50 yard freestyle and 100 yard freestyle; Sarah Thompson, 6 dives and 1 1 dives; and Kelly Holt, 400 yard freestyle. Another real plus for this year ' s team was Sarah Thompson ' s finish in state competition, according to Mrs. Ander- sen. Sarah took eighth place in the state consolation finals for diving, and she was the only member of her team to advance from the sectional. Pike grabbed sixth in team competition from a field of 11 sectional schools. Coach Andersen was also pleased with the team ' s third place conference finish. Ben Davis and Warren Central took first and second consecutively. Letters were awarded to all the record holders and senior Cindy Jones, juniors Amy Laux, Mimi Com- mons and Sara Samuelson, and soph- omore Patty Palmer.

A team plagued with injuries and an overabundance of underclassmen were two main factors which pre- vented the team from having an other- wise good year. At one point in the year, four girls were out due to injury, and with only three team members returning from last year, a group of predominately freshman and sophomore girls were called upon to fill the slack. Along with gaining valuable experi- ence, an overall knowledge of moves and gracefulness was also acquired. Miss Ellis said. Miss Ellis, who coached gymnastics for the first time this year, said, Look- ing back on the season, there are a few things I ' d do differently, one of which would have been reorganization of the team. As for next year, routines should come easier for the girls now that they have a year of experience be- hind them. She added that there will also be a good class of girls coming to the high school next year. The MVP award this year went to Annette Weddle.

Pike ' s varsity wrestlers established a season record of 4-10. Head coach Gus Nierman, in his third year, at- tributed the disappointing season to the inexperience of the team, as only four seniors lettered. Nierman said, We would like to get more people to participate in the sport in order to do better against some of the bigger county schools. Another fact pointed out was that school sup- port of the team seemed to be low. However, many good points stood out in the year. Coach Nierman said. Throughout the season the boys were showing definite improvement. As a team. Pike placed third in the Sectionals with four devils advancing to the regional tournament. Senior Forrest Dickerson and junior Terry Jones both placed first in Sectional ac- tion, as Randy Schmucker, junior, and Jeff Davis, freshman, placed second. In the regional tournament, Dickerson received a second place, allowing him to participate in the Semi-state meet. Coach Nierman said he was pleased with Schmucker ' s tournament wres- tling as he really looked impressive. Davis also wrestled well, with a fourth place finish in the conference. Davis is expected to be one of next year ' s leading point getters, he added. As for next year, coach Nierman said he is optimistic. The team should have better depth, combined with the fact that most of the boys are com- peting in AAU meets over the spring and summer.

This is also my first year as head coach and I probably have a lot to learn. In addition to a 2-11 dual meet record the team finished last in the county and last in the Conference and according to Scarola, this fact can be attributed largely to the team ' s ex- treme youth. Ten of Pike ' s 15 gym- nasts were freshmen and none were seniors. The Red Devils did have some standout gymnasts this year, however, as junior Doug Miller wound up scor- ing almost half the team ' s meet points. Above: Junior Doug Miller served as the team ' s MVP and co-captain in addition to compiling al- most half the team ' s total points. In this shot he performs on the high-bar. Miller was an all-around competitor which means he participated in every event. He was voted MVP for the sea- son and was but a fourth of a point away from an advancement to the state meet. Junior Chris Warren was also a con- sistent scorer for the young squad as he worked the side horse and parallel bars in addition to vaulting. Miller and Warren were both selected as co-cap- tains. Scarola ' s main goal for the 1977 season is to have at least a .500 sea- son. He feels the squad has a good shot at this goal since all three let- termen will return, (Miller, Warren, and junior Eric Rivers), plus a host of prom- ising freshmen. Left: Freshman Brian Husselman works a routine on the still rings. The finest won-lost record in Pike basketball history, a Ben Davis Sectio- nal scoring record of 106 points, a new Pike season scoring record of 1876 points and a new single game scoring record of 113 points: these are only four of the firsts set by Pike ' s 1975-76 basketball team and the list continues for three pages. It was a very coa- chable, unselfish and tightly knit ball club, commented head coach Ed Sie- gel, and consequently we were al- ways able to get a lot done. And get a lot done they did! The team almost instantaneously chalked up a nine game winning streak before stumbling at Jasper 56-63. Pike ' s cagers headed into the County Tournament the following week and promptly marched to the fi- nal game with victories over Speedway and Ben Davis. In an earlier game the Devils handled Lawrence easily and, as a result, were heavily favored to beat the Bears in the County final. Pike took an early lead and retained it through the first half, but senior Jeff Bibbs got into foul trouble mid-way in the third quarter and the Bears slowly closed the gap eventually winning the game 78-81 . After this second loss, Pike racked up another nine game winning streak which was highlighted by a high scor- ing squeaker with the state ranked Northwest Pioneers. This victory finally brought the Devils to light in the polls as the took a 16th state ranking to the Ben Davis Sectional. But Coach Siegel and his team got no farther than game two in the State Tourney as the fired up Pioneers ended Pike ' s 1976 cam- paign at 20-3. It was a real disap- pointment, said Siegel in a game summary, they wanted it bad and so did I. The team earned many individual honors throughout the year. Bibbs, se- nior Larry Palmer, and junior Mark Sie- gel were awarded All-County, All-Con- ference and All-Sectional honors. Senior Bob Meyers was also on the All- Sectional team.

With a combined record of 18-2, both coaches were confident of their teams. However, no one said it was going to be easy. In the first round Pike ' s girls drew Perry Meridian, another county powerhouse from the south side of town. At the end of the first half. Pike was down by 20 points. During inter- mission Miss Hinton adjusted her de- fense to a man-to-man press, taking advantage of the team ' s quickness. The Devils then slowly began to chip away at the lead that dominated them. With less than two minutes to go, Pike was still down by four points. Pike pre- vailed, however, 50-48. The girls then easily won over Ben Davis 57-39 and Speedway 54-36 in the next two rounds placing them in the finals against Warren Central, a team Pike had beaten earlier in the season. Once again Pike fell behind early in the game against Warren. Coach Hin- ton said she convinced the girls not to Below: Juniors Valerie Dillion and Marcia Gillls struggle for a rebound witli an opponent from Warren in the girls county final. give up so close to the championship, as they gave more than 100 percent in the second half. Capitalizing on mis- takes by the Warriors, the girls pulled within one point. With three seconds left on the clock Deena Jones, fresh- man, hit two free throws to clench the county. It was a real disappointment to the team; the boys wanted the county crown very badly, was just one of Coach Ed Siegel ' s comments on the fi- nal game in the county tourney against Lawrence Central. It all started Thursday night in the Ben Davis gym against Speedway, as Pike opened with a straight man-to- man defense. By the end of the first half the Devils were up by three, 33-30. Pike had balanced scoring, while Speedway was kept in the game by Tom Dunn who had 15 points in the first half. Coach Siegel said he realized the danger and improvised to a 2-3 zone, keying on Dunn in the second half. Pike then outscored Speedway 22-5 in the third quarter and went on to win 71-60. Moving to Southport for the next Below left: Head coach Ed Siegel lowers his head at a poor call, while Lawrence coach Jerry Petty calls time out. round. Pike met Ben Davis, a team the Devils had beaten earlier in the year. The first half score was 28-18. How- ever, seniors Jeff Bibbs and Larry Palmer got into foul trouble early. Coach Siegel called on his bench as junior Bob Hildebrand and Dwayne Pitts combined for 10 points and 7 rebounds. Pike won 60-57. In the finals against Lawrence Cen- tral, Pike had hoped to gain a second win over the Bears. The first half score was 41-35, Pike ' s favor. The Devils controlled the game, but in the third quarter, Jeff Bibbs picked up his fourth foul and was pulled out. Bibbs had been burning the net in the first half with 18 points. Also Lawrence moved their 6 ' 8 center Steve Risley closer to the basket as they tried to feed him the ball. The Bears began edging their way back and the Devils trailed 61 -58 at the start of the fourth quarter. Bibbs left the game with his fifth foul, a foul that Coach Siegel said turned the game around. When it was over, 81-75, Lawrence had won its second straight crown but Pike with an 11-2 record still kept the fans ' support the rest of the season. In Coach Siegel ' s mind the team was still the best in the county. Above: A dramatic moment in the game, as ace forward Jeff Bibbs picks up his final foul. Ed McElefresh looks on.

Pike High School was blessed with one of the finest girls ' basketball teams in its history for the 1975-76 season. The squad compiled a season record of 15-4 and tackled one of the biggest Red Devil firsts of the year by winning the Marion County Tournament. Miss Cheryl Hinton acted as head mentor for the girls in her first year at Pike. She has a well-seasoned basket- ball background which helped her dur- ing the season. The new coach was an active par- ticipant on her high school and college basketball teams in addition to playing a number of years on an AAU basket- ball team. Cheryl Hinton has also coached at the college level in Indiana. I would have to say that beating Warren Central by 20 points in regular season play and also taking the County were the team ' s two biggest accomplishments this year, beamed Miss Hinton. She went on to explain that the first game of the tournament Pike was behind Perry Meridian by 21 points at half time and wound up win- ning the game by two points with a full court press in the second half. The girls defeated Ben Davis and Speed- way handily and then knocked off War- ren Central by one point in the tourna- ment final. After the county, the rest of the season was a real downer, com- mented Hinton, We didn ' t play our best in any of the last few games and consequently Broad Ripple beat us in the sectional. The team ' s six letters were awarded to Barb Hypes, Val Dillon, Deena Jones, Lu Hill, Marsha Gilles and Beth Keller. None of these were seniors so naturally the coach has set her goals high for 1977. Miss Hinton said she has hopes of repeating her County de- cision and also has her eye on the state tournament.

Coach Iwema noted that height on the front line and good speed in the backcourt helped the team in its win- ning ways. Led by junior Derrick Jones and his team high 135 rebounds, the Devil front line devastated all opponents. Practice sessions with the varsity squad was also an asset to the team, as daily workouts included scrimmages, re- action and quickness drills. Byron Shaffer, junior, was the team scoring leader, as he paced the team from his forward position. Both Jones and Shaffer played on the Devil ' s varsity sectional team. Coach Larry Salsman worked his freshman basketball squad to a 14-7 record in 1976, which produced his sixth winning season in as many at- tempts. The B team players, coached by Jeff Bourff, fared equally well as it cranked out a 10-4 slate. According to Salsman, the A team got off to a somewhat shaky start as they had a mere 6-8 tally midway through the season. We were not able to handle a full court press early in the year, said the coach, but we slowly improved and ended up winning eight of our last ten games. He went on to say that by the end of the year this group of freshmen was as good as any he had ever coached. Starting guards for the freshmen were Scott Dobbs and Ed Oliverio with Rich- ard Rollins serving as starting center. Three Pike players alternated at the for- ward position and these were James Denson, Tony Hauck and Aaron McKeller. McKeller was the leading scorer with an 11 point average and Rollins led the team in rebounds with a season total of 143. 78 — — -— ?r  w.

The team compiled a 6-8 record, but this is misleading since Pike ' s swim- mers did quite well in most of their larger meets, according to Byfield. The Devilfish took second of six in the Mar- ion Relays and won their own Pike Relays in which six teams also partici- pated. In addition, they were fourth of ten in the County and earned a fifth in the Sectional. Senior Chris Long and junior Jack Gilmer were the team ' s only state en- tries as they competed in the 50 yard freestyle and diving event respectively. Neither Long nor Gilmer placed in the state meet. Senior Mark Olbina was also a team standout as he won the Conference 100 yard breaststroke with a school record clocking of 1:06.1.

Controversies over dress regulations, missing practice as well as petty arguing disrupted the team throughout the season. Coach Kathy Andersen said the sea- son began badly, mainly due to the loss of her two top players, Simone Justus and Brooke French, who trans- ferred to other schools. But several team players did well throughout the season. Despite having played the fewest number of games previously, freshman Ann Shockley won a match in the sea- son. Senior Gwen Hoberty had best in- dividual win-loss record with 8-3. Se- nior Tammy Pugh (MVP) played the most number of games all season, 31 6. She also played the greatest number of split sets. Coach Andersen added that three matches were very close, all lost in tie breakers, 3-4 against Beech Grove, Manual and Chatard. Despite the 4-5 record of the girls ' track team, the team had some out- standing individual performances. Kathy Thompson, sophomore and MVP, broke the 220 yard dash record. She also placed first in the conference in the 100 yard dash, third in the sec- tional, second in the regional, and went on to the state. Other record setters were the team of freshmen Tracy Kluska and Deena Jones, sophomore Lisa Capen and ju- nior Debbie Hill in the 880 yard relay. Sophomore Andrea Martin and junior Val Dillon broke records in the 440 yard run and the 880 yard run during the season. Coach Cheryl Hinton said, The team was a very young one this year. I ' m looking forward to next year when they ' ll be more experienced and stronger. 83 84 Above: Senior Greg Smith lines up a clnip shot before putting it on the green. Sequence at right: One of the basic elements of golf strategy is illustrated by senior Neal Howe in this sequence of shots: drive, chip-putt-putt.  ifari v hm M I , We play a very tough schedule, explained coach Richard Shade about his 5-1 6 golf team. We usually beat all the schools our size, but we ran into trouble when we played schools like North Central. The team finished ninth in the County, and fifth in the Confer- ence, but these tournaments also in- cluded a considerable number of schools larger than Pike. Senior Neal Howe was the team ' s MVP and number one golfer, although according to Shade, the squad was quite well balanced, and Howe was of- ten pushed to keep his position. Filling the rest of the varsity positions were seniors Greg Smith, and Jeff Whipple and juniors Doug Stout and Bill Zaepfel. The finest individual performance of the year was registered by Howe at the North Eastway golf course where his score was 37 for nine holes. The low- est team score was a 210 which gave each man a 42 average. This score was first tallied in a match with Warren Central and later duplicated twice in contests with Broad Ripple and North Central. The Sectional at South Grove golf course June 1 marked the end of the long golf season, and Pike placed 13th from the large 18 team field. Howe turned in the Devil ' s best score with an 81 which earned him 25th place. Zaep- fel finished second for Pike with an 84. This gave him 35th position. North Central won the tournament, but Cathedral ' s Mike Russel was the individual winner with a 70.

The boy ' s track team accomplished something in 1976 that Pil e cindermen may very well still be talking about a good many years from now. The squad completed a season with only one dual meet loss which tallied the finest track record i n Devil history. A pack of Carmel Greyhounds slapped the team with its only defeat midway through the season. The vic- tory margin was a mere 17 points. In large meets Pike almost dupli- cated its performance of a year earlier and according to head coach Joel Leaman, this was also an accomplish- ment that the team could be proud of. In the Conference, Pike picked up a total of 60 Points for fourth place and this score was aided immensely by se- nior Joe Jeffs who won the 100 yard dash and the low hurdles. Pike also won the half mile relay and this team consisted of Jeffs, juniors Phil Kenne- son and Kenny Jones and sophomore Dave Hook. Senior Joe Meadors earned a second place Conference fin- ish in the high hurdles along with teammate Kenneson who took second in the 440 yard dash. Pike placed fifth in the County with a 38 point total and again Jeffs was a major contributor taking second in the lows and second in the 100. The same half mile relay team also placed second- According to Leaman, the team ' s third outstanding large meet perfor- mance of the year was the Pike Relays.

Head Coach Ron Iwema explained that hitting was the outstanding ac- complishment of the 1976 baseball team, as a new school record team batting average of over .300 was being set. Seven team members consistently batted over the .300 mark. Junior Mark Siegel pounded out 27 hits and junior Luke Flanigan had 23. Homeruns and extra-base hits were also frequent, with seniors Mike Walker and Greg Dallas, and junior Terry Guthrie and Siegel leading the way. Pitching was done by Terry Guthrie (6-3), Mike Giresi, senior, (4-3) and Sie- gel (2-2). Bob Hildebrand, junior, led the team in fielding with no errors in 122 chances, and he also led the team in stolen bases with a school record of 12- R.l. 89 Freshman Baseball Season Record (13-0) OPPONENT PIKE DECATUR 6 7 BELZER 2 6 RITTER 3 20 NORTHWEST 10 12 FULTON 4 CARMEL 6 17 SPEEDWAY 3 14 WOODVIEW 6 7 CRESTON 9 14 CRAIG 4 6 BEN DAVIS 1 9 BREBEUF 1 6 BROWNSBURG 5 8 90 Right: Sliding under the throw home, fresh- man Ed Oliverio scores a hard-earned run.

The freshman team ' s perfect record is exemplified further by the statistics from the season. The team ' s batting average was .300. The stolen bases amounted to 119, nine per game. Ed Oliverio, led with 26, while Jim Hoxie and 25 and Greg Ready had 22. One major strong point for the year was the pitching staff. Combined they only allowed 51 hits, while striking out 69. Steve Held and Brad Stuart both pitched 6-0 records and Greg Ready threw a no hitter his first time out. Pike averaged 10 runs per game and gave up only 4.3 runs per game. Coach Ewing said the high scores could only be attributed to the fact that the freshman team was a running team and scored off stolen bases, while forcing opponents to err. John Buckwalter led the batting av- erages with .531 . Ed Oliverio followed with .450. John Watkins had 22 RBI ' s and Oliverio had 21 . One thing usually overlooked is crowd support. We averaged over 40 persons per game. That had to help, Coach Ewing added. With the season record of 11-5, the reserve baseball team bettered its final 6-8 record of a year ago. Coach Larry Salsman attributed this better record to the fact that six juniors had the ex- perience needed and the sophomores were also better players. Best pitcher for the season was ju- nior Steve Isenogle with a 5-1 record. Junior Dave Millis was cited by Coach Salsman for his 2-0 effort. The team ' s batting average was .267. Most RBI ' s were earned by soph- omore Andy Ervin and junior Jack Gil- mer. Ervin also led the team with 19 stolen bases. Best hitters were sophomore Mike Lennox with .345, sophomore Mike Bruin with a .333 and Gilmer with a .316 average. The reserve team members worked hard this year and their hard work was rewarded by a fine season. As far as the total team effort was concerned, the sophomores provided the aggres- siveness while the juniors added sta- bility and leadership, Coach Salsman concluded. On the bench In almost all sports at Pike there are always the extra few whose skills are good enough to keep them on a team but who lack the experience, speed, size, or just plain ability to start. It is these ath- letes who spend most of the game sitting with the coach— on the bench. One coach said that a sophomore should never make a starting line upon a varsity team, and with that in mind, a bench warmer will usually be an under- classman. It is not that he wouldn ' t be good enough, but there should be upper- classmen to fill the position or the team will be lacking in experience. While the bench may be full of soph- omores, age does not necessarily guaran- tee a starting position. Many junior and senior athletes devote their time for practice and put just as much effort into a team as the varsity star, but fail to get the starting nod. A bench warmer must cope with the fact that unless his team builds up a large lead, he will not play. But even when he does make the game, it ' s for a short time. All in all, a bench warmer is happy for any playing time he gets.

I PUT IT in lURiTinri Over 2000 years ago the first forms of written communication emerged. Man created an alphabet which used picture symbols of about 20 very simple objects to represent the differ- ent sounds in his speech. Any spoken word or sound could be written by combining these symbols in a line. This alphabet became the pattern for Roman and Greek alphabets and also compiled the basis of the English alphabet. Today the written language is an es- sential part of our life. Without records of important matters, accounts of events or major news items, there could be no government. This year ' s Hi-Life staff learned some of the re- wards and problems involved in print- ing the news and opinions related to school. The staff gathered news from throughout the community and had deadlines to meet every two weeks. Last minute rushes to complete pages and include recent news were very common. P 7ce ' s Peek preserved the school year by combining communication techniques. The use of written infor- mation, pictures and facts all helped Pike students remember the year. The yearbook received no financial sup- port from the school, and the members of the staff sold advertising to local businesses and also sold as many books as possible. The staff promoted yearbook sales with colorful posters and ads, the latter often inserted in the morning announcements. Photographers for the newspaper and yearbook this year were senior Scott Blesener and sophomore Tom McKinzie. Some work of junior Brad Dubbs was also included. Senior Steve Adams did the cartooning. 103 Left: Academics Editor Jan Barteau, senior, dis- cusses a layout problem with Tom French, Editor of the Pike ' s Peek.

Our whole way of life might sud- denly crumble if communication would disappear. We would have no govern- ment, no laws, no elections, no courts, no schools, no advertising and almost no entertainment. Hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling and touching are all forms of commu- nication. We communicate by talking, signaling, writing, gesturing, singing, drawing and even by dancing. Man has developed such devices as the ra dio, television, telephone and motion picture to communicate with people beyond the ordinary limits of sight and sound. Learning to communicate begins with the emotions, gestures, and per- sonality traits that we project. Commu- nicating a message effectively was the main goal of the speech classes. They worked on gaining poise and con- fidence in front of groups of people. They tried to make their speeches in- teresting in order to make the class as interesting as possible. In one speech everyone had a chance to teach one of his skills to the class. Junior Gwen Ho- berty, wearing a little dress and black shoes, taught her class the basics of tap dancing. Terri Tucker, senior, dem- onstrated her technique in beginning karate. Other speeches included trampoline routines, basketball, foot- ball and candle making. The drama classes communicated in many forms with pantomiming, per- forming and directing. They learned the various techniques of applying make-up and working lights. The classes also learned the history of drama, stage terms and the elements that make a good play. In one class, sophomores Joanie Crowe, Julie Na- varre and senior Rick Miller portrayed newborn babies in a hospital. They had no props and only two minutes to prepare. Television Arts combined speaking and performing and recorded all of this on a television camera. The stu- dents wrote their own scripts and learned to operate all of the equipment needed for a broadcast. They learned to work as a team to produce a com- plete and realistic television program. They started with one minute news programs and worked up to five minute scripts. n i%v l : 105 Above left: Sophomores Joanie Crowe and Julie Navarre and Senior Rick Miller plan what they will do as newborn babies in a hospital.

In a lab situation he can work at his own speed and in his way. All of the English classes were in- troduced to the reading lab this year. In the past many students didn ' t even know that it existed, because this was the first year that groups were required to visit it. Reading and comprehension tests were given which can be com- pared each year to measure improvement. The language lab was used to play recordings for the foreign language students. They heard natives of the countries they were studying and learned to improve their pronunciation. Jewelry, Ceramics, Fabric Design, and Beginning and Advanced Art classes worked on an individual basis. The teachers made a general assign- ment and the students interpreted it in their own way. For example, in Jewelry classes, all that was assigned was a silver wire project and they could make a ring, bracelet, pendant, or earrings. The home economics and industrial arts classes have always worked as in- dividuals. The students were allowed to create something of their own while only following general restrictions.

V y i HKyia B m s lHSl H J vflHHEii ' jM H snunnmii hut Music has probably existed in some form since the earliest days of man. Man was born with a great musical in- strument, his voice. He undoubtedly used his voice to express himself through music long before he though t of making music with instruments. For thousands of years in man ' s early his- tory, music existed only as simple and natural voice sounds. Then man began making music with a wide variety of musical instruments. Today, com- posers write their music down using special symbols, and performers can record their music permanently on records and tapes. Shivering on the Circle probably isn ' t everyone ' s idea of an afternoon of fun, but the Pike choral groups braved the freezing weather to share their Christ- mas spirit. Some highlights of the year for the Accents and Concert Choir were visits to Nursing Homes, a perfor- mance at the Highland Country Club and Swing Choir competition. The orchestra played the back- ground music for Carnival and the Bartered Bride opera and performed for all the Pike Township Elementary schools. Band members marched in the In- diana State Homecoming parade, the Veterans Day Parade, and the 500 Mile Parade. The year was spent planning and earning money for the band ' s trip to Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and New York City that immediately fol- lowed the last week of school.

In the days of one room school- houses and early American life there were three basic academic areas. Readin ' , writin ' , and ' rithmetic, or the three R ' s, were the only subjects taught. In those days people needed nothing but a glimpse of scholastic skills to survive in everyday life. These subjects are still around today but the skills that are taught and the material covered have come a long way. Proofs, logarithms, equations and theorems were only a few problems worked on by math students this year. Common studying places were the cafeteria during lunch, classes prior to their math courses, the school buses and even the halls and locker bays. Many freshmen took classes such as Introduction to Algebra or Geometry or Consumer and Shop Mathematics. Most students took two years of Al- gebra and usually Geometry. Tri- gonometry, Physics, Calculus, and Analytical Geometry were all advanced classes that required at least a C + av- erage in second year Algebra for enrollment. Freshman English classes tried out a new system that Pike incorporated this year. The class was divided into differ- ent sessions consisting of grammar, speech, literature and the reading lab. Above center: Mr. Keith Coyner adds a French lesson to his English class. Center left: Laughter invades strict study stan- dards as Mr. Margalou Vogel discusses The Jungle with a junior English Class.

Right: Freshmen Laurene Austin and Laura Ben- nett experiment vi ith Modified Consumer Math- ematics, a class being offered for the first time this year. With each different section they changed teachers. This was designed to concentrate on each specific area and allow equal time for all aspects. The Junior Class voted at sched- uling time last year to determine the demand for the American Studies pro- gram. The majority voted for separate English and U.S. History classes. As a result, American Studies, a com- bination of the two, was abolished. Sophomore and senior English classes were basically the same as in previous years. The sophomores read Macbeth, A Man For All Seasons, and The Inferno and All the Kings Men were still included on the senior list. Journalism classes were designed to prepare students for work on the Hi- Life and Pike ' s Peek staffs. Field trips to the Indianapolis Star and television stations plus lectures from journalists helped explain the careers in journalism. Next year students will be able to take a one semester Journalism class and work second semester on the Hi- Life.

A girl who takes courses in typing and shorthand may become a successful stenographer, department head, and even an execu- tive in her firm. A boy who pursues a military career may eventually provide a great service for his country. Voca- tional education, in school or on the job, can make a real difference in a person ' s life. It can also make a differ- ence in the nation ' s economy. Knowl- edge, skill and training often make up a country ' s greatest resources. The Business Department at Pike provided new methods of learning this year. It allowed students to master ev- ery aspect of a business from the legal end to machine maintenance and repair. An added attraction was Mr. David Wood, a former Pike student. He took the responsibility for Mr. Joe Dres- cher ' s classes for many weeks and had many new techniques and meth- ods to try out. The NJROTC prepared men and women for most of life ' s hardships. It taught them responsibility and the es- sential elements of a military career. This group sponsored a hayride for the school just as something different to do. They also had a booth at the Lions Club Street Fair. They had new mock rifles this year which could only be used for drilling. They had no mov- able parts, as part of a new safety measure. Senior Marc Rolfes will definitely at- tend the Naval Academy next year. Sue Kelsey, also a senior, was the first girl in our district to ever receive a nomination to go to the Academy. She is still considering attendance in the fall.

As a result of the shortage of jobs, many young people have broken away from the tra- ditional college education and started learning other skills. Trade schools and special exclusive job training have become popular. Pike, in cooperation with North Cen- tral High School, offered courses at the J. Everett Light Career Center as a different form of education. Students were able to take a variety of courses including T.V.— Radio, Nursing, Heat- ing and Air Conditioning and General Construction. They had on the job training, such as working in hospital and at construction sights. Physical Education classes pre- pared the body physically for any kind of job. Soccer, gymnastics, basketball, and swimming were just a few of the activities offered. Health and Safety were also stressed. Exploratory Teaching was a class that was offered to seniors interested in a teaching career. A semester at Pike prepared the future teachers for a student teaching position at one of Pike ' s elementary schools or Lincoln Middle School. They aided the instruc- tors in grading and gave individual help to children having problems. Students who were weak in certain areas were often instructed by Mr. Ju- lius Bremen. He is a resource teacher who works individually with each of his students. Filmstrips, movies and visual aids were helpful to those people with reading and writing problems. His class left the students with a feeling of worthwhileness and many of them made honor roll this year. 115 Above: A class project incites the teamwork of freshman Forrest Coffey and sopfiomore Delores Davis.

Many things have changed in the past couple of centuries. Countries, governments, languages and scientific techniques have all progressed in a rapid manner. The English language, as we know it, was unheard of 600 years ago. Nations have struggled and fought to obtain the positions they are in now. Men have landed on the moon and ships have been sent to Mars when less than 100 years ago the air- plane didn ' t exist. All of these things are part of our continually growing society. Social Studies classes explored man ' s life style in many different times. Sociology and Psychology courses in- volved the study of the people of today an d their physical and emotional prob- lems. U.S. History and World Geogra- phy studied years past and Govern- ment and Economics discussed political laws and the economy. French, German, Spanish and Latin were designed to enable students to speak and write fluently in another lan- guage. Derivatives was a one-semes- ter course that involved studying root and base words that compose the English language. Science classes didn ' t differ much from other years. Zoology students still dissected frogs and pigs. Biology classes were dominated by freshmen and spent much of the classtime pre- paring labs. 117 Above Left: A giant slide rule is an exceptional vi- sual aid as IVIr. William Hansell demonstrates.

Some of the clubs were nonexistent, or to put it another way, had no members. iMIIill •! till feiiill Yes, apathy struck in the form of club membership this year. On a ques- tionnaire, the most prominent reason given for not joining was a lack of time. The students were involved with jobs and sports or had to keep up their grades. Others just plain weren ' t inter- ested in joining— the clubs didn ' t sound exciting or didn ' t do enough advertising to entice students, accord- ing to these surveyed. At the bottom of the membership barrel were the FTA and the Horticul- ture Club— they never got started. Oth- ers, such as the Refinishing and Hiking Clubs, hadn ' t formed as of March. 18 Large photo: The plants in the greenhouse flour- ish in spite of having no Horticulture Club. 119 Far left: Paul Sheets, junior, shakes the dice as he attempts to conquer the Roman Empire while his playing partner, freshman Terri Thompson, and opponent, freshman Chip Lang, watch.

Near left: Radio Club members Mike Craft, soph- omore, and Linn Boyd, freshman, watch fresh- man Larry O ' Cull send a signal over the airwaves of WA9PBZ. Above the bottom of the barrel are those clubs which were fairly active, or in the middle of the road. Just register- ing on the scale was the Human Rela- tions Club. Although there was only one member, senior Tony Prather, he was active. Akiiki %i iill 6 U The Math Club and Honor Society had their usual initiations. PSPS made the hoops for all home basketball games. On up the activity ladder, was the Lettermen ' s Club. They sponsored a faculty vs. the news media basketball game, a dance after a basketball game and their traditional queen contest and milk shake machine. The Radio Club was on the upswing this year as members studied for their licenses. A new antenna was to have been donated to the station, also. With new sponsor Mrs. Carol Hall, the Latin Club did something different this year. The ten members made a board game called Ludas Romani Im- peri, in which players tried to gain con- trol of the Roman empire. In April, Olympic Games were held at Carmel High School in which Latin Clubs around the State participated. 121 Left: Officers Mark Olbina, Dan Scheldt, Jane Duzan, Rene Cochran and Bill Hise, all seniors, run the Student Council meeting.

Ah, finally, the top of the heap, or those clubs with a flurry of activity. One of the busiest clubs was the FBLA, with 20 members. They sold mums for homecoming, took a field trip to the Blue Cross-Blue Shield and FBI buildings, caroled for the elderly at Christmas, and sponsored a dance. They also sent people to the State Convention. i«f tfi iilf ill II The 39 members of the OEA partici- pated in service projects for Cross- roads Rehabilitation Center and In- dianapolis Teen Challenge. The State and National Conference and the Sixth Annual Employer-Employee Banquet were other OEA functions. Approximately 30 students were on the Intramural Quiz Team during March. The Exercise in Knowledge team for television was composed of seniors Tom French, Dawn Jones, Jim Levinsohn, sophomore Dave Soper and alternate Terri McCoy, senior. The Devilettes, besides having guardian angels, gave cakes to the team-of-the-month (with the best record), had bake sales and sold red derbies to promote spirit. Collecting toys for mental patients, helping an orphanage with a Christ- mas party and baby-sitting for school plays were some of the jobs the FHA undertook. Four times a year the Planetarium Club (two members at a time) came in to operate controls, estimate clock time by the stars and prepare programs.

How many times iiave your heard it? It rings six periods a day, five days a week, thirty-six weeks a year, four years a customer. Have you ever stopped to wonder what would happen if it did not ring? What would you do? But you know that will not happen, and it rings again, right on time. You hear it and move from your seat to wherever you go next. As you walk through the halls, you look around. There are people roaming through the corridors, congregating in the locker bays and standing in your way in the very center of an intersection. Some of them are familiar, and some are not. There are so many— how could you possibly know them all? You can ' t. But yet for the most part, you see the same faces every day. You can ' t always attach names and per- sonalities to them, but you know what they look like, who they walk with, and after a while, what they wear. Grad- ually you form some sort of opinion of what they ' re like. Sometimes you meet these people, and your previous opinions are either confirmed or contradicted, raised or lowered, surprised or disappointed. But such meetings are unusual, and 10Q most of your opinions must still be v5 based on physical features and brief bits of overheard conversation. The bell rings again, and you make your way toward your next class, and you see those same people again, just like yesterday and the day before that, and the day before that. Obvious- ly, you ' ll never know what ' s behind everyone ' s features, what they ' re really like. So for now, you ' ll just have to... t«te it «l Above right: As one of the leads in the musical Carnival, senior Jay Poindex- ter finds that work on the interpretation of his lines is necessary.

Teachers are as multi- faceted as anyone. They do more than just make assignments, give lectures and hand out grades. They are even nice people, once the barriers of for- mality are shed. That is what, through the use of candid, instead of staid, posed, formal shots, this section will try to show. 136 A teacher is a healer of woes, a hall pass-Issuing machine, compiler of tons of trivia to stretch out a lecture with, grade maker, custodian, coach, illegal gum chewer, a $% y4 once in a while, chaperone, contributor to causes, friend, confessor, pottle pa- troller, a grouch on Mondays, class sponsor, a counselor, someone who always cuts in front of me in the lunch line , exciting, dull, a cut-up, theme asslgner, book issuing person, inter- preter of administrative dictums, stuf- fer of float flowers, director, best friend, finisher of shop projects, a regular person and a neat guy, at least when I see him in the super- market anyway, and perhaps best of all, a dispatcher or dispenser of wis- dom, consideration and the the magic art of living in this corner of the mate- rial world. What is a tsaehsrf When the senior class sat down and voted on what class members were most popular, liberal or most likely to succeed, they also voted for those teachers who were most humorous and most understanding and for the most popular administrator. When questioned about why he thought he was the most popular ad- ministrator as voted by the Senior Class, Assistant Principal Mr. Marion Martin said that it was probably because he knew everybody and that most kids thought he was fair. When told she had been voted most understanding teacher, Mrs. Ann Booth commented that her juniors wouldn ' t agree with the vote. After that, she was left speechless. Upon receiving the information that he had been elected most humorous teacher according to the senior class, Mr. Joe Drescher said that he felt that this was because everybody knows that I act like a fool out of class. Class 138 1975-76 Administrators Dan Schiavone, principal Charles Amick, vice-principal Marion Martin, vice-principal glwee Moefe kudos Often it seems that the higher-ups that run the school system— the School Board and the Township ad- ministrators—are misunderstood. Why would anyone put up with all the com- plaints and hassles from parents, teachers and students, especially the School Board members, who receive no money for it? The reason, it seems, that a person wants to be an adminis- trator or School Board member is sum- med up best by a candidate who ran for School Board. He said he ran, not for the glory, but for the benefit of the students. 140 Far left: Assistant Superintendent J.

Although most of their work is done behind the scenes and therefore goes unnoticed, they are a key factor in making the school function. The custodial staff is in charge of the maintenance at Pike. They work in two different shifts, the day crew and the night crew. The department was headed by Mr. Don Wilkerson. General cleaning, care of electrical work, care of light fixtures and many other such jobs were all taken care of by the cus- todial staff. Another important group of people are the kitchen staff. This staff con- sisted of a group of women whose job was supplying the entire school, both students and faculty, with a hot lunch at noontime every Monday through Friday. Mrs. Grace Glidewell was in charge of this staff. Mrs. Karen Gasche, the school nurse, was also a vital part of the Pike staff. She provided aid to those who had minor ailments and offered a place to lie down and rest until further help could be supplied. The school bus drivers also pro- vided an important service to Pike stu- dents. Bus drivers supplied trans- portation, not only to the high school and back, but the same drivers also drove students to the middle schools and elementary schools. Above right: The night custodial staff consists of Chucl Clock, Billy Griffith, Woody Boling, and Randy Bishop.

Staff wital %m Piks M it reaiif mean What was unique about the class of ' 76? Did it change anything, for better or worse? Did the class do anything really different that no class had done before that was of any significance? It ' s a kind of humbling feeling that a person gets when he thinks back on his class. Did it ever accomplish any- thing or did it just take up space, pol- lute and exist en masse in this, our own tiny sphere of influence? Well, the class of ' 76 never won a float competition, right? So what? If you go back far enough, other classes never did either and besides we did win the homecoming events. Well, we ' re the class of ' 76. A Bi- centennial class. Unique?? Other countries have Bicentennials and the fact that we are graduating in ' 76 is an accident of birth. No one plans that far ahead. But we were unique. How? Maybe just in our existence alone. Perhaps the next few pages will be able to show what the year and class of ' 76 was.

Both came out in time for the Christmas season and both be- came million dollar grossers. Mood rings ranged in price from three to fifty dollars. A mood ring was supposed to indicate the way a person felt at any particular time by the change in body heat which triggered the color in the stone. Shades of tran- quility ranged from cheerful blue, through blase ' green to dismal black. Pet rocks stemmed from a California entrepreneur ' s idea that rocks made the perfect pet. Rocks needed little house training, did tricks like playing dead and rolling over, and could be kept in a cage or the little box they came in.

Drawing on a per- son ' s hands, putting a tack on some- one ' s seat, playing paperwad football or basketball have been several ways to combat the doldrums. The ' 75-76 entry is called Punch-a-lot-of-letters- on-a-calculator-turn-it-over-and-see- what-it-spells game. This game is, for the most part, good, clean fun because key letters present in obscenities are missing. In fact, the player must work with the let- ters 0,E,l,G,L,S,H, and B. There are the simple words like glib, bells, big, egg, and hills. A person can get a lot of these little simple words plus some others by taking a big number divisible by 2 and lUi dividing all the way to zero. More complicated words can also be created without much effort or imagi- nation. Hell ' s Bells can be made if enough digits are on the calculator. One can even make up brilliant so- cial commentary with his calculator. Just punch 8,628,405 Arabs and 5,587,064 Jews into a war in the Middle East, multiply by the countries that feel obligated to meddle-five, and see who the winner is. An oil company. Surprise!!

A way to get a chuckle on an otherwise gray day? Do you want to say something? Then slap it on a T-shirt and wear it proudly. In all types of weather, Pike kids threw on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and came to school. Some were quite common, like Pike is for lovers and those hawking various brands of beer like Coors, Bud, and Busch. Others have the names of such heroes as Elton John and Maynard Ferguson, Yes on them. Some carried no message, just a photograph or drawing. Others pro- claimed the wonders of I.U., Purdue, Gollywogs and Marlboro. Others were bizarre like Kiss My Navel and others signified belonging to a group like the Rowdies . But whatever was on it, all the T-shirts said the same thing— This is me.

All three were pleasant inter- ruptions for the average Piker who strolled down the halls and saw them exhibited. And all had a useful purpose of being a creative outlet whether they catered to school spirit, cajoled cash for some project or showed the artistic talent of fellow students. All classes took part in the hall deco- rations during sectionals in various de- grees. Red and white crepe paper, huge banners and competition were rampant. And in the competition, the Class of ' 76 won. There were posters advertising prac- tically everything during ' 75-76. Car- nival posters, film festival posters and dance posters were just a few. And the art projects. One teacher had art students take the word cre- ative and draw around it. In other competition, seniors Sabrina Powell and Steve Adams won first prize and honorable mention in the Indianapolis Public High School Art Contest.

The juniors were also in charge of the concession stands at all athletic events. Many juniors spent long, cold evenings selling refreshments at these events. The money earned at the con- cessions traditionally financed the Ju- nior Prom. Along the academic line, United States History was a requirement that all juniors filled. Juniors were also able to take Junior Honors English for the first time this year, and this was di- vided into two classes.

Those 30 minutes some- where around noon, dedicated to those who want to l ill hunger pangs, socialize with fellow students, or just have a break in the middle of the day. Even the few who did not use the time to eat had a few minutes to catch up on undone homework, meetings with teachers, sleep, or anything that class time did not allow for. Lunch generally went without much change, although around the middle of October, paper plates were used to compensate for the broken diswasher in the cafeteria.

Pets are an added responsibility, an extra bur- den, and a lot of hard work. Still, when asked if they had pets, the majority at Pike answered yes . The most popular type of pet owned by Pike students are dogs. According to one Pike student, dogs not only of- fer companionship, but also protection for the entire house at night. Cats were also mentioned as a common pet, but many felt that their natural indepen- dence and moodiness detract from their popularity. Horses, various types of tropical fish, rabbits, and even tur- tles were among the list of pets at Pike. For the most part, pets were treated as any other member of the family. One senior girl went so far as to have a birthday party for her dog, Gretchen, on the dog ' s birthday. An invitation was sent to every dog in the neighbor- hood, and people were allowed to at- tend only by permission of their dog. Each dog brought a present for Gret- chen and helped her eat her cake.

Immediately after try-outs when the play is cast, the leads must go to work and begin memorizing their lines. Mr. James R. Myers, the director, then be- gins to design the set and block or plan out each scene. Then come the rehearsals. Hours and hours are spent running through each scene, usually taking up most of the actors ' evenings. There are various crews in charge of set construction, lighting, publicity, props, and costumes. This requires a great deal of work on the part of the members of these crews. Junior Jeff Edwards was in charge of set con- struction; junior Beth Bailey, lighting; senior Nancy Beverly, publicity; fresh- man Eaddy Roe, props; and senior Deanna Powell, costumes.

No longer freshmen, they had gained the maturity that a year brings. They were no longer new to the build- ing and knew a little more of what to expect of life at Pike. Sophomores became involved in various activities around Pike. Many participated in various extracurricular activities, such as clubs, athletics and dramatics. The reserve athletic teams were filled with many sophomores who will be the varsity teams in the near future. Academically, all sophomores were required to take English and Health. Classes such as Geometry, Art, and various science classes were also taken by many sophomores. Summer school was filled with sophomores tak- ing Driver ' s Education as they reached the fifteen year old age requirement of the course.

But dad, my driver ' s ed. teacher told me I should practice!! Maybe something like this has never really happened, but sometimes situ- ations with driver ' s education students can be almost as comical. What is it that these kids are really afraid of? What is it that allows a teacher to get into a car in hopes of teaching some- one who has never driven before? The most common reason for parti- cipation in driver ' s education at Pike is the fact that insurance rates are lower for those who have successfully com- pleted the course. Also, for those who do well in the course, the drivmg test at the license branch is not a require- ment. The classroom session, which lasted for two hours every day for four weeks in the summer, made the ma n- datory written test given by the branch a little easier to get through As for the fear aspect of driver ' s ed , many students had a great deal of ap- prehension as they drove a car for the first time. One sophomore girl com- mented that lack of self-confidence and the fear of making a mistake lead- ing to a serious accident were the main reasons for fear. However, no se- rious problems occurred during the program.

These rings vary in price according to the type of ring desired. According to Mrs. Bobbie DeWitt, secretary in charge of the ordering, students spend anywhere from $39 up. Special features, such as designs under the stone or special engraving, add to the cost. Many sophomores stated, when asked why they purchased the ring, that they felt it contributed to school spirit. One sophomore said that a class ring shows everyone outside of Pike where she is from, and that she ' s proud of it. The only disadvantage in buying a class ring is the cost. Some said that it was too much to pay for something that would probably not be worn more than the rest of their high school years. Rings were ordered in early fall and they were delivered before Christmas vacation. McQueen, Kelli Macy, Julie Maexner, Mary Beth Mahan, Kathy Malone, P.

Music sproads to Music plays a big part in the lives of Pike students. IVlost everyone has a fa- vorite musician or group and a favorite style or type of music they enjoy listen- ing to. Music ' s popularity was evident in the Music Department this year. Band membership, as well as the choruses ' , increased in number considerably. There are many times during a day when students enjoy listening to mu- sic. Radios are often played while rid- ing in a car, and stereos are often played while doing homework, during a party, or any other time when a group of kids get together. Music concerts were also a favorite weekend pastime and many musicians appeared in concert in Indianapolis this year. A few of these artists in- cluded Carole King, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Cat Stevens, Eric Clapton, Yes, Barry Manilow, Rolling Stones and Tony Orlando and Dawn.

A new way of life greeted the fresh- men as they began their first year at Pike. Despite the embarrassment of being late or stumbling into the wrong classroom, freshmen soon became ac- tive in the various sports and clubs open to them. Freshmen found homecoming a means of developing class unity and spirit. Like all classes, the freshmen put long hours of work into their float, only to find that experience is the key to success in building one. Lisa Eaton was the freshman representative in the queen ' s court. The theme of the fresh- men float was Sew up a Victory . The class was led by president Fred Linder and vice-president DeeAnn Col- lins. Secretary was Erin McKeller and treasurer was Susan Young.

This was done in celebration of Youth Art Week from March 15 through 19. The artists included Charlie Gibson, sculpture; Willie Faust, painter and drawer; Terry Steadham, painter and illustrator; Ellen and Rogier Donker, silver smiths and jewelers; Jean Vietor, watercolorist; Marilyn Wittmer, silk screener and printer; Roger White, sculptor, Kathleen Cunningham, bati- ker; Sue Ceroal, fiber sculptor; Carol Ward, weaver. These artists demonstrated their work in the school lobby, and students were able to watch them work throughout the day.

After conquering the feat of step- ping off the school bus and trying to remember its number and location, I hurriedly raced to my locker, trying to remember its number and location. I stood in front of my locker, twist- ing the dial in what was hopefully the same way that I had learned during registration (which at that time took about 13 tries and a threat from my fa- ther who said he ' d stuff me into the locker if I didn ' t get it open). After a few threats of my own at the dial, it dawned on me to turn it two times around to the left. I then went swiftly (or some sem- blance thereof) to homeroom to re- ceive a multitude of papers, cards, and instructions. Frankly, at that point I was only concerned with how to find my next class. When the bell rang, I wandered into the hall and was struck with a thought that plagued me for the next several days— every hallway at Pike looked the same. Luckily, my homeroom teacher plastered a map on my nose and shoved me off in the right direction. Apparently I wasn ' t the only one who was lost, as many others straggled in after the bell sounded, looking dazed. Of course, there were the ones who walked into the wrong class com- pletely and with red faces, felt like crawling out underneath the door. My next interesting encounter was with the lunchroom. It all seems very logical now that students don ' t visit the cafeteria on the first day. However, it also seemed very logical to me four years ago that when they said we were running through the whole schedule, they meant just that— lunch included. So, after easily (for once) finding the lunchroom, I noticed that no one else had joined me. Realizing I had fallen victim of a gross error in judgment, I tore off to visit World History and joined the late arrival crowd. I have also learned at Pike not to always as- sume the logical to be true. As I kept shuffling my map and at- tendance cards, various questions oc- curred to me: Why did they have two offices? Wasn ' t one enough? Why did we have to swim in phys. ed. and walk around all day with wet hair? What was the mall for? Decoration? And why did we have seven attendance cards? Wasn ' t one enough? Finally, I stumbled out to my bus at the end of the first day. Through all of my faux pas, I could at least be proud of one thing. I had not let any dumb se- nior sell me an elevator pass. No, sir. I then began waiting for the day when I was the eldest and I could come up to some undernourished, spineless fresh- man and say, ' Lissen, kid. Y ' say ya wanna get to room 512? Tell ya what I ' m gonna do. I have this specially priced elevator pass that entitles you Roberts, Jeff Roberts, Scott Robertson, Stephen Roe, Eaddy Roetter, Frederick Rolf, David Rollins, Richard Ross, Dan Rubin, Lori Runyon, Ronald Scheirman, James Schmidt, Jay Schneider, Robert Schuch, David Schuler, Deborah Sell, Suzanne Shafer, Susan Shank, Greg Shank, Jane Sheffer, Jane Sheley, John Shellhammer, Susan Shively, James Shivers, Dianne Shockley, Ann Shrum, Matthew Shumaker, John Smith, Cindy Smith, Mark Smith, Michael Smock, Katheryn Southerland, Holly Spurr, Walter Staggs, Dianne Stapleton, Anne Starkey, Chris Sterrett, Jeff Stewart.

Bottom right: Cartoon by Steve Adams. Gettinq oround the rules Excuses— teachers hear them all the time, for all sorts of infractions. There are excuses for being twenty minutes late to class, for handing in assign- ments late, for conveniently being ab- sent on three consecutive test days. In other words, there are excuses for whatever is done or not done that is not in accordance with school policy. Upon the subject of excuses, teach- ers can reel off from memory a handful in a matter of seconds. First, there are the old standards. I loaned my book to someone. My dog ate my assign- ment. It blew out the bus window. I didn ' t do anything. It must be in my locker. I had car trouble. I had to wait until my clothes got dry. My assignment got wet. The cafeteria line was too long. I didn ' t know we were supposed to do that. Every once in a while, however, a student wrill rise above the well-worn realm of common excuses and will come up with something original. Sev- eral teachers received some this year that they felt were worthy of special at- tention. I need to use the phone— my dog has used my overalls as a newspa- per. I have a fever, so I can ' t take the test. My dog got sick and dirtied my assignment. Some of the more original excuses were offered by the nurse. In order to fake a fever, students tit matches to the thermometer or rubbed it over their clothing. One student had a heart condition , and needed to rest every day a certain period. Another had a back injury that prevented him from going to class. When the nurse asked him for a statement from his doctor, the boy never appeared there again. In fact, according to the nurse, there was a definite tendency towards improve- ment when the students were told that their parents were going to be called. Excuses this year were many in number and in variation. Some were believable, and some were not so be- lievable. In turn, some were success- ful, and some were not so successful. Regardless of the quality of this year ' s crop of excuses, there will be more next year. Because, as long as stu- dents need some assistance in getting around the rules, excuses will abound in plentiful excess. If «Jou WereTardg y - If yo ' i -.-e tsrdj...

Above right: Seniors Mary Lynn Alhand and Tammy Pugh take advantage of a trip for adver- tising pictures to clown around. Right: Class finds junior Tim Holmes staring ahead into space with a scornful expression. Ah, the end of the year is finally here. Whether you ' ve just finished working night and day to complete those hectic, end-of-the-year assign- ments, or whether you ' re now sliding into the tail-end of a nonchalant rest that began back around Spring Vaca- tion, you ' re ready to leave. But before you go, stop and think for a second. What kind of a year has it been? You ' ve got an image, a label that other people have given to you. What have you done about that label? Maybe you ' ve been able to shake it off by meeting a lot of other people and showing them what you ' re really like, and then again, maybe you haven ' t. If the latter is the case, it ' s too late now to change anything. But there ' s always next year. Come on, let ' s go; you don ' t want to stick around here any longer, do you? If you do, go ahead; no one will bother you, at least until summer school starts. Do what you want, but the rest of us are leaving. I f? ' ■ v i ' 41 • • ' ' i f!
