Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1978 volume:

I am closer to believing Than I ever was before On the crest of this elation Must I crash upon the shore And with the driftwood of acquaintance Light the fire to life once more I am windblown ... I am times. Pioneer High School Conestoga 1978 Royal Center, Indiana Volume XV 7 Seniors 16 Album 38 Organizations 53 Academics 72 Faculty 98 Sports 108 Jr High 136 Index 153 Ads To be closer to believing To be just a breath away On the death of inspiration I would buy back yesterday But there's no crueller illusion There's no sharper coin to pay As I reach out ... it slips away. From the opium of custom To the ledges of extremes Don't believe it till you've held it Life is seldom what it seems But lay your heart upon the table And in the shuffling of dreams Remember who on earth you are. - So be closer to believing Though your world is torn apart For a moment changes all things And to end is but to start And if your journey's unrewarded May your God lift up your heart You are windblown . . . you are times. —Greg Lake — WHAT GOD HATH PROMISED God hath not promised Skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways All our lives through; God hath not promised Sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, Peace without pain. But God hath promised Strength for the day, Rest for the labor, Light for the way, Grace for the trials, Help from above, Unfailing sympathy, Undying love. : —Annie Johnson Flint v V '4 - ?

For the first time the Prom was held outside the school. It was held on THE MADAM CARROLL which is a luxury boat on Lake Shaffer in Monicello Indiana. Prior to boarding the boat, attending couples dined at a Monticello church. On board the Madam Carroll, the couples danced to the music of Brady Creek . The crowning of the king and queen was one of the highlights of the evening. To finish off a perfect evening, the couples went to the After Prom which was held at Bowlmor Lanes, where they bowled or played pool. Refreshments were also served by the parents at the After Prom. h 'm X3 u 3 u 3 fo $9 fo $3 u $3 u ?3 $9 U $3 fo te te 3  3 7‘ZS e SS 0? 97% watta', 9 ant Staxt , s4 %ew- eyi vt a latf cat xri4,'t “TfCicCttCykt Situ e % {fCaujLei!

Commencement started at 3:00 p.m. The invocation was given by Julie Slentz, after which the sermon was given by Reverend Rick Tucker from St. Joseph Rectory, Logansport. Speeches were given by Jeff Keiser, Valedictorian, Julie Powlen, Salutatorian, Doug Williams, and Randy Houston. The band played Looks Like We Made It before the handing out of the diplomas.

If you have gone to any of the athletic events at Pioneer, it should. You probably saw a concession stand too, with Pioneer students and one or two of the teachers working there. Those students were juniors and the teachers were the junior class sponsors, Mr. Pokorney and Mrs. Graham. The juniors were able to raise over $2000. Left- over light bulbs from the year before were also sold, but no new ones were ordered. Also, $5 class dues were assigned, and the total of all these combined went to pay for the Prom.

There were cross- country, basketball, and track. Due to the energy crisis the girl's basketball was cancelled along with the boy's wrestling.

There are a lot of new people to make friends with and new systems to get used to. There are seven classes in the day with a different teacher for every class, different schedules and grading systems. The first year is usually the hardest, but the next years become easier. a At the seventh grade class parties, everyone gets involved.

School Life Organizations 71 Students who took Art classes learned to transfer their deepest feelings onto paper and canvas. They also created unusual pottery and sculptures out of mere lumps of clay. They learned important facts about famous artists by doing reports on one of their favorite artists. The third and fourth year students were in charge of the art work for the school play, Hello Dolly . Near the end of the school year the Art students were able to take a trip to Indianapolis to see and explore the Art Museum and then went on to Eli-Lily, Inc. a T.

Languages from Other Lands, French and German classes are new, but popular. The students that took these classes numbered almost the same as those that took Spanish. In French class, the students learned about the French culture by singing songs and playing games, like French monopoly and bingo. The German classes also studied German grammar and culture by singing, playing games, studying. Spanish I and II classes studied grammar mostly, and sang Spanish songs. Spanish III and IV classes studied a little grammar, but mostly learned about Spanish culture, like the music and art. In April the III and IV class went to the Art Institute in Chicago.

The Cur- rent Problems and World History classes are open to all High School students, but U.S. History is only for ju- niors, and the Government and Psychology, Economics and Research Seminar courses are available to se- niors only.

Directed by Mr. Don Grostefon, the program offered on-the-job training in agriculture, building trades, car body repair, auto mechanics, welding and nursing, Pioneer students who participated in one of these programs attended Pioneer High School in the morning and vocational school in the afternoon. Vocational programs departed from books and pencils, those mundane tools of the academic classrooms, to hammers, saws, and welders. Written projects were replaced by the well- tuned engine, the repaired auto body, and even the finished home; and students completed their tasks with a sincere sense of accomplishment. c a P.

The two sexes enjoyed competing with and against each other. Besides the co-ed classes, students built their bodies by ex- ercising and lifting weight. Building Our Bodies a Band Performs In Many Events Mr. Wintczak became the new director of the Pioneer band. Under his direction, the band performed at the home basketball games and at a Jr. Varsity football game held in the afternoon as an all-school convocation. Performing with the band were the majorettes, the flag corp, the pom pom girls, and the twirler. The band also competed in two contests, receiving high rankings in both of them.

Gridders Finish Second Year Ml The 1977-78 Pioneer Jr. High Football team, although only in their second year of existence, showed tremendous improvement over the year before. The eighth grade team compiled a record of two and six for the season, even though the record could have been better. The team never gave up and always strived to do their best. The seventh grade team finished with a seven and one season. With the ability and desire of this young team, and the helpful advice from coaches Cristy, Elkins, and Overfield, this team has a bright future ahead for itself. a Members of the 8th grade team are: (First row) B.

I am times. To be closer to believing To be just a breath away On the death of inspiration I would buy back yesterday. But there's no crueller illusion There's no sharper coin to pay As I reach out . . . it slips away. From the opium of custom To the ledges of extremes Don't believe it till you've held it Life is seldom what it seems But lay your heart upon the table And in the shuffling of dreams Remember who on earth you are. So be closer to believing Though your world is torn apart For a moment changes all things And to end is but to Start And if your journey's unrewarded May your God lift up your heart You are wind blown . . . You are times. Greg Lake 175 Autographs 176
