Portage is unique. School life and academics both hold important places in our school day. We enjoy ourselves on the morning buses or by our lockers before class; we cherish the fellowship of eating with our friends at lunch, sitting on the jungle wall, or playing basketball in the gym; we look forward to the final bell at 3 p.m., the rush to catch our buses, or that important club meeting we must attend. But, when it is classtime, we become serious and try to learn all that we can so that we may have a better life and a better world in which to live . . . . . . Let ' s take time to appreciate and evaluate our school . . . a Look at . . . WAITING ANXIOUSLY, Bill Newman peers over the desk as Mr. Maurice Tolbert looks at his written excuse and fills out an absence slip. PORTAGE HIGH S FRIENDLY POLICEMAN, Mr. Me rv Deimage, helps to control the traffic problem as the school ' s 24 buses, one by one, turn into the back parking lot to unload students for the day. Lingering outside on a warm, sunny morning after the buses arrive or pushing through the doors to escape the sharp, winter wind is the way we — 1448 Portage Indians — begin our day. After depositing our coats, books, and packed lunches in our lockers, we rush to the library to do that last minute study- ing, line up for our absence slips at the attendance office, or buy game tickets and school supplies at the bookstore. The first bell rings; we say our farewells to the friends we ' ve been joking with in the halls or by the lockers and hurry to our first hour ' s classes to start another school day at Portage. 4 HANDING OVER HIS MONEY to Mrs. Mary Cantwell, Jim Shaw stocks up on paper in the bookstore before he goes to his first class. AMATEUR BUSINESSMAN Bob Yeager checks the papers in the library for the latest stock trends in preparation for economics class. Before-School Activities Keep Students on Go GRADING PAPERS, DUPLICAT- ING TEST COPIES, and discus- sing new developments keep faculty members busy in the teachers workroom before classes begin for the day. 5 JUNIOR ENGLISH STUDENTS Terry Heck and Peggy Heckman listen attentively as Mr. Gerald Hundt explains a fine point of literature. MR. JOHN ALEXANDER passes out grammar textbooks at the be- ginning of the semester to the students in his sophomore English class. English, Journalism Pave Way to Expression, WORKING HARD on an English term paper, senior Treva Wil- son organizes her notes before writing the final outline. Portage was one of the forty pilot schools in In- diana participating in a nation wide experimental English program this year. The three-track plan of the program was to challenge slow, average, and ex- ceptional students. The new teaching methods used showed marked successes in many classes, and the experiment will continue for three more years. The English department also added two new faculty members this year. Many students have taken speech as a preparation for college and careers. The topics used this year ranged from How to Bake Cookies to The Dress of a Moroccan Man.” Reading the daily announce- ments over the public address system gave students experience in speaking into a microphone. Journalism was offered to a group of nineteen freshmen for the first time. In September all the journalism classes took a trip to the office of the Gary Post Tribune. Many journalism students held positions on the staffs of the Pow Wow and Legend. JUNIOR LITERATURE STUDENTS Bill Thomas, Tom Knight, Ken Dailey, and John Martin act out the play In the Zone. Open Avenues to Careers MR. BUD DREESEN of the East Chicago Globe shows Pow Wow editor Treva Wilson how to set headlines. PRACTICING THE FUNDAMENTALS of pub- lic speaking, senior Connie Wagoner takes her stand behind the podium in speech class. 7 MRS. MARJORIE HERREN ex- plains to junior Kathy Ayde- lotte the permanent record fil- ing system used in the guidance office. COLLEGE MATERIALS in the guidance office aid junior Keith Hos- tettler in making plans for his future. STUDENTS ' PERSONAL and school history records are handy aids for Mrs. Margaret Telle in solving guidance problems. 8 MRS. SUE JONGSMA, library secretary, helps Mr. Warren Munro choose a film strip to show in one of his classes. The guidance counselors played an important role in helping students plan their high school courses and select colleges and future occupations. Advising students on personal problems was also an important task of the five counselors. In the guidance office, extensive materials on colleges, entrance require- ments, scholarships, and occupations were available to students throughout the year. Special tests to find out students’ aptitudes and interests were ad- ministered to the different grade levels by Mr. William Souders, the school psychometrist. The library continued to be an asset to the school this year with 10,800 books on the shelves, ten sets of encyclopedias, and many other special facilities. Tapes of foreign languages, shorthand dictation, En- glish, and popular musicals were available for stu- dents to listen to in the sound-proof booths. Foreign language records could be checked out by those wishing to improve their language skills. Seventy- seven different magazines, eight newspapers, and extensive pamphlet materials were kept for refer- ence purposes. Librarians, Counselors Render Vital Services UP-TO-DATE MAGAZINES in the library entertain Ed Monette and Charles Davison as they relax in the lounge area during study hall. LIBRARY AID Melodee Ranger checks out a book to senior Jim Monroe as Becky Dugger renews George Marshall s overdue book. 9 The growing importance of foreign languages in high school was reflected in this year ' s language de- partment by the addition of five new language teachers. In the different classes, students made use of tapes and records as well as giving speeches and participating in dialogues and discussions in the language. A language table in the cafeteria gave the pupils a chance to practice their conversational abilities on a more informal basis. New materials, studies of the national election, and two new teachers were added this year in the social studies department. World and U.S. history stu- dents were encouraged to participate in an outside reading program, enabling them to view historical situations through the eyes of those who were there. New textbooks were used by the history and geogra- phy classes with co-ordinating maps for added interest. In the senior government and economic classes, students were encouraged to take sides on the controversial subject of automation and on the important election issues during the presidential campaign. CLAUDE STRAIN, foreign language honors exchange student, tells the second year Spanish Class of his stay in Monterrey, Mexico.

BEATING THE CROWD, Mrs. Mary Martin goes to her mailbox in the teachers workroom to collect important information and an- nouncements which she must have before going to her next class. FINDING THEIR PICTURES in the 1 964 Legend, Terry Klebon, Carol Harbaugh, and Chuck Stout take a between class break by the jungle. A SHORTCUT through the court- yard gives students a breath of fresh air before going to their next hour ' s classes. A hurried trip to the locker for more books before the start of the next class or a leisurely chat by the ' ' jungle ' ' with that someone special occupied the five minutes of between-class time of most pupils. Other students used the extra time to study for an up-coming test while some lined up at the drinking fountain for a quick refresher. Driver ' s education classes were important in teach- ing students correct driving attitudes and proper behind-the-wheel techniques. Students were required to have 30 hours of in-class instruction before being allowed to drive. Several new movies on safe driving were shown to the classes and reaction tests were given to those taking the course during second se- mester. Basic car mechanics along with proper car care were also taught. To complete the course, stu- dents were required to have six hours of actual driving in one of the dual-control cars. SOPHOMORE JOHN EVERETT takes the car keys from driver ' s train- ing instructor Mr. Ralph Morris before beginning his first driving lesson. 13 Art, Homemaking Pupils Practice Creative Skills THE MASCULINE HANDS of Bob Polizzotto and Jerry Kapica prepare a special dish for boys home economics class. ART STUDENT Mary Miller practices proper water color techniques as one of her in-class projects. CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS made as home projects by the family and housing classes are arranged in the display case by Cheryl Albright. 14 A term paper, sketch book, and participation in the annual Gordon ' s art contest and art exhibit were on the agenda for the five art classes this year. Be- ginners concentrated on color values and hues as well as painting with water colors and working with papier-mache. Ceramics, sculpturing techniques, and Cubism were studied by the intermediate classes. The advanced classes dealt with oil painting and ceramics. The beginning sewing classes studied operation and care of the machine plus basic sewing tech- niques. Simple cotton skirts and jumpers were made as in-class projects. More difficult sewing problems plus the elements of color, design, and line in re- lation to figure problems were studied in detail by the intermediate classes. An advanced course of pro- fessional tailoring and pressing techniques was of- fered. Home nursing and child care was required in second year home economics. Basic cooking methods, nutrition, consumer buy- ing, and management were offered to beginning and intermediate cooking students. Meat cookery was the field of study in the advanced class.

This year ' s Concert Choir was composed of 98 members chosen from the choir classes. Under the di- rection of Mr. George Myers, the choir sang at three convocations. The choir entered the state music con- test in the spring, and individual members had the opportunity to enter solos and ensembles in the vocal contest. Tryouts for the Portage Singers were held in the early fall due to the great demand for engagements. Ten girls and eight boys were chosen for the group which appeared at three school concerts and on the programs of many local organizations. The 12 students in the music theory class used a college textbook which acquainted them with the structure of music. The final product of the course was a song composed by each student. Students in the music history and appreciation class increased their enjoyment of music through a better under- standing of its history. 16 D. Drummond, L. Lange), P. Darley, S. Donahue, J.

The group fulfilled re- quests to play at the dedication of the South Haven Elementary School and the ceremony for the award- ing of the soldiers medal to C. F. Kinchloe. They re- ceived a second place rating in the state contest at Angola. Tryouts determined which Concert Band members became players in the Pep Band and Dance Band. The Pep Band enlivened pep sessions and bolstered school spirit by playing for all home basketball games. The Dance Band provided musical enter- tainment for the annual Adam and Eve Dinner and also played for social functions at the request of local organizations and area high schools. Presenting half-time shows for home football games was the main activity of the Marching Band. They also presented the half-time show for the Val- paraiso University Homecoming Game. The Fourth of July, Veterans Day, and Memorial Day parades included the Marching Band, which achieved a second place in the marching contest at Valparaiso this year. The Orchestra Class, meeting sixth hour with Mr. John Unger, performed with the junior high orches- tra in the Junior High Spring Concert and for a meeting of the music parents. E. Schreiber, M.

WOODWORKING STUDENT Danny Mincinski strives for precision in one of his class projects. Business, Industrial Arts Pupils Study for Future More students gained experience in business courses this year as two additional rooms were equipped with typewriters and two new teachers joined the department. Students in office machines classes interviewed persons in particular careers and then made reports to their classes on all aspects of that career. The advertising class took a trip to the office of the Gary Post Tribune and helped plan a campaign to finance the building of a swimming pool at Portage. The industrial arts department was busy this year with plans for the addition of a new building and new courses. The house built by the vocational build- ing trades class was completed this year and will be sold in the near future. The printing class served the school by printing corridor passes and programs for athletic events. During Christmas the school was decorated with a large star built and wired by the electricity class.

After leaving the cafeteria, we each have our own type of enjoyment — sitting on the brick wall by the jungle, talking with our friends, studying at the hall tables for our next class, or playing basketball in the gym to work off excess energy. Some of us dance to pass away the minutes left before the bell, while others line up to use the phone. But whatever we do, lunch period provides us with a chance to re- lax from the day ' s routine and an opportunity to be with our friends before going back to our classes. FOOD FOR THE HEARTY is served daily to over 1000 hungry Indians by cafeteria cooks and student helpers. L .

WATER, WATER — at last a drop to drinkl Senior Judy Dennison enjoys a noontime stop at the new drinking fountain. NOONTIME BASKETBALL games encourage friendly competition as well as providing an outlet for excess energy. The Science Department began the year anxious to make the improvements suggested by the North Central Association. While making plans for the new labs and equipment, the teachers worked with the limited equipment to attain their goals. For the college-bound, biology, botany and zoolo- gy, chemistry, advanced chemistry, and physics were offered. Those for whom a high school education was terminal took general science. Related physics and psychology appealed to those with special interests in these fields. A total of eight mathematics courses ranging from general mathematics to college math were offered during the past year. Those enrolled in general math learned the basic principles upon which more ad- vanced courses depend. Applied business and voca- tional math closes aided the career-minded. Algebra I and II pupils worked with unknowns, while plane geometry, advanced math, and college math stu- dents work with theorems, slide rules, tables, and other media. PLANE GEOMETRY student Mary Patryas constructs a diagram to demonstrate her problem in reasoning.

Some of us may have to stay for make-up tests Tuesday and Thursday nights, or we may practice basketball in the gym or play another team in one of our competitive sports. Club meetings are also on our agenda since most of them meet during after-school hours when we have more time to enjoy ourselves in their numerous ac- tivities. Planning a special school dance or a class party at a committee meeting in the library may keep us busy after the final bell rings. Or, we may spend our after-school time using the many research fa- cilities in the library for our term papers or special reports. Some of us may go to one of the typing rooms and practice keyboard control, while others may hurry for a conference with a teacher. Or, we may work for several hours in one of our publica- tions offices in the old junior high to meet an im- portant deadline. CARRYING THEIR BOOKS for the night ' s homework, juniors Val Bickel and Cheryl Rogers head home as another school day ends. THE RUSH BEGINS at 3 p.m. to fill the block-long line of buses. Stretching across the west parking lot between Portage High and AFTER A CLUB MEETING Burnis Davis and Bill Snyder make a phone call in hopes of getting a ride home. 26 Aylesworth Junior High, the 24 buses are quickly filled with students from both schools. THE NEARLY DESERTED HALLS after the final bell rings give two students a chance to be alone before they part for the day. WHILE WAITING for his bus to leave, John Tzitz enjoys reading the latest edition of the Pow Wow. TEACHERS HAVE HOMEWORK, TOO! Mrs. Donna Steinmann settles down in the teachers ' workroom to grade papers for her next day ' s classes. 27 Let’s Take a Look at LET ' S TAKE A LOOK AT ACTIVITIES . . . . . . Portage activities add character to the school year. We dance with our classmates at class parties and crown royalty, ranging from the pomp of our Homecoming Queen to that thar king and queen of Dogpatch, U.S.A. We sit and watch a drama, or perhaps a comedy, unfold before us at one of our plays, or we gather in the gym for an all-school convocation. We gaze starry-eyed at our partners as we parade in the Grand March during the en- chantment of the Prom. And we walk down the aisle to receive our diplomas, then run out to shout Here I am! to a fickle world . . . . . . Let ' s take time to remember a few of the joyous moments . . . NEW HONOR SOCIETY MEMBERS take the candelighting pledge at their banquet while Mr. Bryan Shaddick passes out pins. Induction of new members and the presentation of skits highlighted the Honor Society-Latin Club Banquet. Mrs. Ethel Jones, sponsor, was given a silver bowl by the Latin Club in appreciation of her service and sponsorship. The Science Fair was held again this year for math and science students. At the Regional Fair, Bob Jack- son won first place and received a citation from the U.S. Army. Paul ' Dizzy ' ' Trout, a former pitcher for the White Sox, spoke at the Sports Banquet. Outstanding play- ers in all sports were also announced. The annual Art Exhibit was held this year in the all-purpose room. Mosaics, paintings, handicrafts, and sculpture were displayed.

Of the seven floats entered, the junior class float was chosen winner by a committee of seven faculty mem- bers. The Homecoming committee, headed by Mary Ann Barr, planned the format for all the Homecoming ceremonies. Through their efforts, the goal posts were decorated with red and white pompoms before the game. Halftime ceremonies at the game included the introduction of the five senior candidates — Carol Hewitt, Peg Lambert, Lynn Snider, Shirley Sobczak, and Joyce Thomae — who had been chosen two weeks before by the senior boys. Mr. George Myers announced Shirley Sobczak as the student body ' s choice for queen. 1963 Queen Lana Thompson crowned Shirley, and Student Council president Bruce Garrison presented her with two dozen red roses. After the game, a coffee hour was held in the cafe- teria for the alumni, seniors, and faculty members. At the Homecoming dance, entitled Fascination, ' ' approximately 130 couples danced to the music of the Reflections. Since Lana was married that night and was unable to attend the crowning, Bob Hamp- ton, Mr. Football for 1964, officially crowned Shirley.

Two months of strenuous practice gave Portage ' s Helen Keller (Diane Pierce) and her teacher Ann (Paula Foxx) many bruises. Mr. Dennis Norman, the director, chose the Miracle Worker for the November 24 and 25 play and the comedy You Can ' t Take It With You for the April 23 and 24 production. After cast try-outs, about two months of regular practice followed, during which the casts rehearsed the play many times, adding new movements and expressions each rehearsal. Scenery for both plays consisted of old flats painted by the casts; Goodwill Industries donated needed furniture to complete the sets. Costumes were provided by the individuals needing them, with mothers sometimes being re- cruited to sew the needed clothes. A cast party fol- lowed the final performance of each play, serving as a reward for hard-working actors and actresses.

The football convocation gave the students a chance to meet the players and coaches and to become acquainted with some of the rules of the game. A special safety con- vocation featuring Mr. Robert Veith, a racing car driver, stressed the importance of safety on the roads. As usual, Santa Claus and his helpers were the main events of the Christmas convocation. Along with Santa, a performance by the Concert Band was given. Towards the end of the year, the Honor Society held its convocation to formally induct and honor the new and old members. Awards Day was also planned by the Honor Society. During this convoca- tion special scholarships, honors, and award win- ners were announced. DURING THE AWARDS DAY CONVOCATION, Mrs. Margaret Baird presents senior Donna Mohnssen the award for Outstanding Busi- ness Student.

SPORTS CAR DRIVER Bob Veith speaks to the student body on safe driving on today s highways. 39 “Roman Rendezvous was chosen by the junior class as the theme for the 1965 Prom held in honor of the graduating senior class. Couples entering the gym were greeted by the reception line, which was made up of sponsors, class officials, and school of- ficials. The decorations — white pillars, black lights, and a floodlit fountain — carried out the Roman theme. Led by the junior and senior class presidents and their dates, the Grand March was viewed from the balcony by parents and underclassmen. The Michael Golden Orchestra played for this year ' s Prom. Couples stopped to talk and drink punch at the tables set up in the jungle hallway. After the Prom a buffet dinner was served; couples ate at card tables set up in the courtyard. The After-Prom party, held at the Chapel of the Dunes in Miller, featured entertainment by Ellis the Hypnotist and dancing until 5 a.m. to the music of the Tra-Vels.

With 31 clubs at PHS, all of us can find at least one that we enjoy. We may be inducted into a student honorary; or if we are interested in a particular profession, we may join an academic club. Perhaps a language or literary club will fit our needs if we enjoy foreign customs or if we have some talent in the journalistic field. As members of the service clubs, we may perform vital services for the school. In the artistic and dramatic clubs, we learn self- expression. If we enjoy athletics or hobbies, we may join a sports or recreational club. . . . Let ' s take time to learn more about the opportunities our organizations offer . . .

Composed of top-notch students from the junior and senior classes, the Portage Chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society was kept busy this year by President Mike Hynes. Each six weeks, Honor Society members compiled the honor roll list; a special com- mittee was also chosen to work on the Alumni Book. During April, 38 new members were inducted into Honor Society at a special convocation. Later in the year, all members attended the banquet where new members took the Honor Society pledge and received their pins. The Awards Day Convocation was planned through the efforts of this organization. Through the combined efforts of some 50 students, the Student Council tried to better school life. Each Monday during homeroom the members met and discussed current problems. The Council took care of locker inspections, flag raisings, and cloak room assignments. Special committees planned convoca- tions and ratified club constitutions. In March the Council sponsored a drive to solicit funds for the operation of Channel 1 1.

Guidance Council, in its fifth year at Portage, was founded by its present sponsor, Mr. Kenneth Wood- ruff. So far, Portage is the only one in the Calumet region to have a program of this type, although several other schools have shown interest in or- ganizing one. The program has evolved from a twice-a-week presentation to the present system of once a week and two weeks in a homeroom. There were 96 students participating in the program this year. The main objective of Guidance Council is to en- rich the lives of the students with the various topics presented to them. A secondary benefit is to give the guidance counselors themselves poise in public speaking. Admission to Guidance Council is on a selective basis. At the end of the term, teachers and mem- bers of Guidance Council nominate outstanding stu- dents for the next year’s organization. GUIDANCE COUNSELORS Tim McMurry and Mary Ann Barr entertain a junior homeroom with their report. 62 MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL Building and Grounds Com- mittee, Leigh Speer and Jim Monroe, issue a warning slip during locker inspection.

Profits from these events were donated to the fund for sending a student to Mexico during the summer — the club ' s goal for this and future years. At Christ- mas time 20 members formed a choir which learned Spanish carols, and many students enjoyed a Christ- mas party, Las Posadas, with caroling in Spanish and a pinata. Interested members also took advan- tage of lessons in guitar and Spanish dancing. In its second year the French club, Les Copains, strove to give students an opportunity to speak French outside the classroom. Meetings were con- ducted entirely in French, and often included skits and songs. The club elected no officers to give all members experience in conducting the meetings. A highlight of the club ' s activities was a Christmas party at which Le Pere Noel put gifts in every- one ' s shoe, according to French custom.

The club, which had about 45 members this year under the leadership of president John Martin, viewed slides of Germany, went to see a German movie, and took a field trip to Chicago ' s Museum of Science and Industry. In the fall, members enjoyed a German style picnic and hike and built the float which won second place in the Homecoming parade. Activities of the Latin Club included taking a field trip, sponsoring a very successful bake sale, and building a Homecoming float. New members were initiated and received their Latin Club pins at a party held in December. The club had about 50 members this year and elected Charles Daniels its president. At the club ' s annual banquet at the year ' s end the members presented a skit pertaining to Roman history. LATIN CLUB — Front Row: L. Lackey, C. Mrak {Secretary-Treasurer), J. Ralph, L. Record, N.

Watch Over Hallways Movie screens and projectors, tape recorders, phonographs, microphones and other teaching aids were provided to teachers and various community groups by the 26 members of the Audio-Visual Club. The club received $5.00 from every after-game dance at which audio-visual equipment was used and then purchased additional equipment for the school. Im- proving the sound system in the all-purpose room was the main project of this year ' s club, whose presi- dent was Bud Hilty. In the winter, a secretarial bureau was established to help the teachers with time-consuming tasks such as typing, grading tests, and running the dupl icat- ing machines. Junior and senior members of FBLA who were skilled in clerical work were assigned to the bureau and worked during study halls. Nine students who have been trained in first aid techniques served as clinic helpers. About 15 girls with clerical skills gave several hours a week to working in the attendance and guidance offices.

At the meetings held on the second and fourth Fridays of each month, the students traded and learned more about their hobby. Bob Hampton was elected president of the 15 active members. The Chess Club, which met every Monday after- noon, had about 12 active members this year. The members, led by President Don Frye, graded them- selves according to skill and ability and were able to reach a high level by challenging and defeating the better players.

In- dividual staff members performed tasks such as sell- ing ads, writing copy, planning layouts, typing trip- licates, and proofreading. Due to this year ' s 50 per cent increase in sales, color and an increase in pages over last year ' s Legend were planned for the book. Various workshops offered staff members the op- portunity to gain new ideas and experience which would enable them to improve the Legend. These in- cluded Indiana University ' s Journalism Institute (at- tended by co-editors Linda Cooper and Peggy Parrott and business manager Diane Kubiak), the Indiana High School Press Association Convention at Franklin College, and a Journalism Seminar at Valparaiso University where three members of the staff were on panels. At the Journalism in May, members heard a talk by Mr. Dick Kennard of the Newsfoto Publishing Company on college publication staffs and careers in journalism. PLANNING AND COORDINATING the largest yearbook in Pro- tage s history contributed to the frenzied state of mind and acute nervous fatigue of Legend editors Peggy Parrott and Linda Cooper.

The stories were assigned to the classes by the editor-in chief, Treva Wilson, as their lessons in journalism. The Pow Wow, published every two weeks, had a staff of 35 which produced a newspaper that became the favorite way for students to catch up on the goings-on of the rest of the school. The 17 members of the Library Club, with presi- dent Melodee Ranger, met every Tuesday for instruc- tions in giving better service to library patrons. The members must know how to find books of every kind, so they will be able to help the other students. The Christmas season proved to be the busiest time of the year for the club members, who decorated a tree for the library and held a Christmas party at which they presented gifts to their sponsors.

Through this program all types of paper- backs were made available to the students, who ordered the books through their homeroom repre- sentatives. Any student who bought five books was then entitled to one free. Six sophomores, who were recommended by Eng- lish teachers for their writing ability, worked on the News Bureau. These students wrote news stories concerning the school for publication in local news- papers. They gained valuable experience and also kept a scrapbook of all published stories for the use of future writers. Members of Quill and Scroll, an international honorary for high school journalists, made arrange- ments for the Journalism Honors Banquet, which was held in May and attended by staff members of the Pow Wow, Legend, and the News Bureau. The mem- bers also planned the publications train in the Home- coming Parade. L. Landrum, C. Labounty, C. Andrus, C. Cadrey, J. Ehlers, R. Stone, G. Russell, R. Lynn, D. Hurst, M. Nehring,- Row 4: B.

Bids and advertisements for the various school dances were also silk screened. A trip to the Chicago Art Institute and the sponsorship of an all-school dance on March 19 were on the agenda for the year. Members of the Drama Club presented two plays this year, ‘and several members earned enough points to be admitted to Thespians. In November the club presented the Pulitzer prize-winning play “The Miracle Worker and in April the comedy You Can ' t Take It With You. Eight members participated in the speech contest at Ball State University, giving dramatic, humorous, and poetry readings. The club, with Kathy Ziegler as president, received much en- thusiasm from its members and offered a $100 schol- arship in the fine arts.

Fight! was a common sound heard during homeroom as 150 Pep Club members tried their lungs in unison. Sponsor Bernita Adkins and President Sonja Cassady were often seen discussing and gazing upon the appearance of 1 10 girls dressed in white shirts. At the Sectional, various cheers using club-made pom-poms and flash cards were per- formed with enthusiastic spirit. For money-making projects, the Pep Club sponsored an after-game dance and the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. Also school insignias and Valentine hearts were sold. Softball topped the list of Thursday activities per- formed by the Girls ' Athletic Association. Softball was followed by volleyball, basketball, swimming, bowling, and golf as the year progressed. Under the direction of Sponsor Bernita Adkins, the girls par- ticipated in playdays and sport clinics with neighbor- ing schools. GAA money-making projects included the annual Valentine Dance held in February and a sweatshirt sale. The year ' s activities were brought to a climax with a banquet held at Wellman ' s on May 27 in honor of the senior members. Awards, trophies, and a tribute to out-going President Marilyn Henke completed the GAA program.

Through the football and basketball seasons, the varsity, junior varsity, and freshman cheerleaders boosted team and school spirit by leading the pep block in organized cheers during the games. Early in October, the varsity cheerleaders participated in a cheerleading convention in Denver, Indiana, where they learned new cheers and exchanged ideas with cheerleaders from other schools. As their money- making project, the cheerleaders sponsored the first after-game dance. Upholding the traditional Indian Dancers half-time entertainment during basketball season, six girls danced their steps to the steady beat of Candy Lord ' s tom-tom. Each dancer gave a great deal of her time to making an Indian costume and to prac- ticing during homerooms and after school. The Letterman’s Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Harold Cox and Mr. Robert Smith, sold home- game programs and attended the concession stand during the games as money-making projects. To be eligible, each boy had to earn a major varsity letter. This year ' s president was Paul Boyette. Work During Games, Attend Convention LETTERMEN ' S CLUB — Front Row: L. Livergood, D.

Whether boosting our Indians to a Conference victory in football or cheering for a precious point at the basketball sectional playoffs, we are always there, supporting our team and taking pride in its accomplishments. The runner, golfer, swimmer, wrestler, and baseball player has a chance to participate in his chosen sport, in which he can cultivate his interest and build his skills. The intramural and physical education programs offer increased chances for fun and learning at the same time. . . . Let ' s take time to salute and support our teams . . . Let’s Take a Look at Physical Education Classes Stress Student Fitness TOUCH THOSE TOES! Girls in the first hour physical educa- tion classes do their morning exercises before they get down to their classtime activities. Five hours a day. Miss Bernita Adkins conducted physical education classes for girls. Each class began with ten minutes of calisthenics and then a sport from the individual, dual, or team sections. Military marching, tumbling, and archery were included in the individual sports. Dual activities consisted of co- educational dancing and badminton. Some of the team sports learned by the girls were basketball, field hockey, and softball. Also included in this re- quired course were body mechanics and participa- tion in the National Fitness Test. Mr. Harold Cox divided the boys ' physical educa- tion activities into six areas: team games, individual and dual sports, dancing, gymnastics, and physical fitness. Some of the activities besides the regular cal- isthenics that the boys did each day were rope climb- ing, pyramid building, weight lifting, speedball, and rope skipping. To complete the course, there were lectures on motivation and movies demonstrating the rules and objects of some of the class activities.

Freshman football was the proving-grounds again this year for future varsity players. Here the players learned the fundamentals of football and the good sportsmanship required in all athletic contests. The spirit that will hold the team together throughout high school becomes evident at this stage in training.

With six returning lettermen from last year, the Portage wrestling team, led by Coach Robert Sobczak in his second year, ended a comparatively successful season with a 6,7 overall record. The team placed fourth in the Calumet Conference with senior Edgar Hall winning in the 145 pound class. Six wrestlers were sent to the sectional meets held at Wirt, where Portage placed third. Seniors Bob Hampton, in the 154 pound class, and Richard Longmore, 133 pound class, won their sectional matches and thus qualified for the regionals held at East Chicago Washington. Mr. Sobczak died suddenly of a cerebral hemor- rhage on March 13, 1965. He coached the wrestling team for two years and the swimming team for one year.

JUNIOR DICK HOLM attempts a jump shot from the corner. Coach Harold Cox ' s roundballers had a fine year as they emerged with an overall record of 15-9 and 7-4 in the Calumet Conference to tie for third place. Twice this year the century mark was hit as the Indians rolled over Che sterton, 103-70, and Lowell, 102-62, which contributed greatly to Portage ' s lead- ing the conference in scoring. Leading scorer this year was senior Norm Harris with 386 points and a 16.1 point average. A tremendous help in rebounding was given by Bruce Funkey, 6 ' 5” senior, who became eligible at the mid-portion of the season. Sectional play showed Portage playing Valparaiso in the finals after the Indians defeated three teams — Jackson, Chesterton, and Morgan. Despite a strong fourth quarter scoring spree. Portage lost 97-79. Two guards from Portage — junior Jim Samuel and senior Al Bradford — were chosen for the All-Sectional Team this year. Coach Al Smith ' s Junior Varsity team posted a 6-12 record. The team had no junior players for support until the last few games when Lindner, Holms, and Wilson were recruited from the Varsity to help out.

Bradford’s No-Hitter Highlights Baseball Season The varsity baseball team finished the season with a record of 8 wins, 7 defeats, and 1 tie. The high- point of the season came when senior Al Bradford pitched a non-hit, no-run game against Griffith. This was Coach Harvey Noland ' s last season as baseball coach. In his eight years of coaching, he has obtained the respect of many of Portage ' s athletes.

Portage personalities are short, tall, lean, and fat. Some are vivacious, some are quiet, and some are just friendly people we see in the halls everyday. But, no matter what type they may be, we are proud that they help formulate our tribe of Portage Indians. . . . Two members of our faculty, Mr. George Myers and Mrs. Ethel Jones, retired this year after many years of valuable and faithful service to the Portage schools. During the past few years, two new elementary schools in Portage were named in honor of these outstanding teachers. . . . Let ' s give recognition to our school personalities . . . Let’s Take a Look at SUPERINTENDENTS ASSISTANT Mr. James Gland goes over the day ' s schedule with Mr. John Hevel, who serves as ad- ministrative assistant in the high school office. Through the efforts of Mr. Bryan Shaddick, principal of Portage High School, and Mr. Richard Wilson, assistant prin- cipal, the past year was kept running smoothly in regard to student-teacher relationships. Mr. Wilson handled most of the discipline problems, while Mr. Shaddick spent most of his time working on the plans for the new addition to the high school. Together these two ad- ministrators saw to it that all departments were coordinated and that teachers’ meetings were conducted regularly. PRINCIPAL BRYAN SHADDICK and Assis- tant Princip al Richard Wilson confer briefly in Mr. Shaddick s office. 108 The School Board spent much of its time this year working on the building plans for the new additions to the Portage schools. In addition to his regular duties of hiring teachers and carrying out policies set up by the School Board, Mr. Wallace Aylesworth, superintendent, worked closely with the Board in co- ordinating these building plans. New classrooms for three elementary schools, as well as science labs, industrial arts shops, and a cafeteria for the high school were to be added to the schools. Actual work on these buildings began in the spring of this year, and the School Board expected all the new additions to be ready for the predicted in- creased enrollment in September of 1966. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Wallace Aylesworth serves as chief administrator for the entire Portage school system.

Seeking information about colleges and jobs, the seniors heard representatives from different occupa- tional fields at Career Day which was sponsored by the guidance office. Also, graduates of Portage who were enrolled in various colleges spoke to the col- lege-bound seniors about campus life and customs. Seniors attended the Christmas Dance, Winter Enchantment, which their class sponsored for the student body, and impersonated television stars at their class party Channel 65. The Prom, with its traditional Grand March and exciting formality, was given by the junior class in honor of the 1965 graduates. As the seniors listened to the message at Bacca- laureate and solemnly marched down the aisle at Commencement to receive their diplomas, they each silently recounted the frolics and heartaches of high school life and prepared themselves to meet the world and its many challenges.

KARLA WHITLOCK — Quill and Scroll 3; Legend Staff 2, Index Editor,- News Bureau 3; Pow Wow Staff 2,3, Feature Editor 3; Drama Club 2,3; Journalism Award 2 GARYON JACK WHITLOW JETHRO L. BAKER, a member of the Senior Class and a Portage student since first grade, died on February 2, 1965, following an operation to cor- rect a heart ailment discovered this past year. Jethro had been interested in music since seventh grade when he joined the junior high band; later in high school he was a member of the per- cussion section of the Concert Band. His interest in music was carried over to his outside activities when he be- came a member of the C Notes, a local dance band which often played at street dances held in the Portage Mall. Ham radio operation was Jethro ' s hobby, on which he and his father spent a great deal of time. In his freshman year, Jethro was vice- president of the Radio Club. Jethro applied to Purdue University to begin his college education after he graduated. But, he was taken away from his family and us — his life-long friends — before he could fulfill his dreams and live the life that such a person as he deserved. 137 1 8 Juniors Compete in I.U. Language Program... As they took another step toward the end of their high school careers, the 356 juniors sponsored dances and a candy sale in the community bringing in $2,000 to the junior class treasury. The class rings, ordered late in the spring of the sophomore year, proved to be a source of pride for the juniors, as the rings were the first to bear the official PHS crest. The junior Homecoming float, a large electric mixer with the slogan Beat ' em Up,” won first prize in the competition with floats from the three other classes. Arranged and financed by the junior class, the Prom and After-Prom party were held on May 15 in honor of the graduating class.

Sophomores Learn, Apply Skills in Drivers’ Ed... The focal point of the 1964-65 sophomore class was on activity this year. Aside from the fact that they sponsored and attended two class parties, Superstition and King of the Road, they became involved in many other school affairs. Their member- ship in various clubs and organizations was extreme- ly high this year, ranging from academic groups to cheerleaders and lettermen. The sophomore class officers organized and carried out planned activities for the entire class. Besides the two class parties, the ordering of class pins and rings was on the year ' s agenda. Senior sweaters to be ordered in the junior year were considered. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS — President Larry Rogers, Vice-Presi- dent Dan Tesanovich, and Secretary-Treasurer Linda Record.

' 147 Frosh Learn Traditions of High School Life... Starting off their high school careers, the freshmen, helped by members of the guidance department, planned their preliminary four year schedules to find the general direction they planned to follow in high school. A major item in their first year was getting acquainted. A good means of getting together with their friends was found through joining clubs and attending sports events, plays, dances, concerts, and their class party, ‘ ' Hillbilly Hub House.
