The 1966 Legend Volume 25 Portage High School Portage, Indiana Portage Watches a New PHS Face Emerge Contents School Life 6 Academics 30 Organizations 52 Sports 80 Personalities 102 Advertisements 154 Index 170 2 From Construction Walking into a classroom with a large hole in the wall, manuevering around a crane, or mov- ing a car to make way for a truck load of I- beams became just a part of the changing face of Portage High School for 1500 1965-66 stu- dents who faced an entirely new educational en- vironment. Distractions of cement mixers, drills, hammers, open walls, and workers under foot invaded classroom discussions. The biggest con- dition to be gotten used to occurred when the football field took on a face of complete de- struction due to the school growth. Amid the building and crowded conditions, the year rolled along with studies, dances, and sack lunches eaten in the gym balcony. Slowly the Portage students saw classroom, recreational, and cafeteria conditions improve and near com- pletion. During the last weeks of school, Seniors were allowed to eat their lunches in a new cafe- teria. They left behind them the new and chang- ing face of PHS. Surrounding Area Has Our community along with the school helped to mold and shape our lives. After school, week- ends, and the summer found many of us working in the surrounding and neighboring shops, stores, and industries. We gave our services to our com- munity and in return we learned how to be re- sponsible with our time and money. Spending our money was also a part of the year. We used our money advantageously giving much thought to its end result, and also a few times we spent on the spur of the moment. But we always tried to get the most for our money. We also tried to get the most out of our lives. We utilized the natural resources, the parks of dunes and lakes, for a quiet place to go. The neighboring towns satisfied our desires for ex- citement and a place to let off steam. Realizing that the churches and the school were always open, we shared with them our problems and our happinesses. Influence on Lives Our Changing Face in . . . Portage school life not only included studies and club activities but time for social events. Homecoming, Christmas, Valentine, and Prom dances brought Portage Indians to school with changed faces and in their best attire. Hard work did not go by unnoticed. Orches- tra, band, and choir awards were presented for the first time. Extra-curricular activities, sports, and scholastic achievements were also ac- knowledged. Graduation topped the schedule of school events. Songs, speeches, and diplomas changed the expressions and emotions of many who were involved in the big day that had finally come. 6 -vru SJS RAIN OR SHINE, PHS patro l boys must fulfill their duties in aiding students as they come to and from school grounds. Construction Does Not RAISING OUR FLAG early in the morning is a necessary part of the school day for Senior Chip Coffey. RUSHING down the empty steps, Senior Greg St. Germain tries to beat the bell, hurrying to make his class. DUE TO CONSTRUCTION, the cafeteria reverts back to the preliminary stages of the system. Disturb Student Friendship and Daily Routine Every morning day in and day out the flag must go up promptly at eight. This duty fell to a first hour Senior hall monitor. The patrol boy duty before and after school also belonged to the Senior boys. “Rain, snow, or shine the traffic must be kept in line, became their motto. The boys didn ' t seem to mind since they were ex- cused from last hour classes five minutes early. After everyone was securely in the building, a mad rush toward classes began. Time was found to chat with friends during five minute breaks but the final bell caught some in the halls. Time rolled on and the clock struck twelve. This year when everyone ' s thought turned to lunch, they found a chuck-wagon lunch line. Due to construction, the sack lunch eaters were forced to eat in the gym balcony. Others sat elbow to elbow to consume their hot lunches on paper plates in the crowded cafeteria. Despite the crowded conditions, noises, extra duties, and hurry scurry of the day, Portage stu- dents still found time to simply enjoy one an- other ' s company. MIDST ARM-LADEN LOADS of books and deep concentration, PHS ers find time for one another. 9 Queen Peggy Reigns on Challenger’s Field RUSHING TO ADD the finishing touches to their car decora- tions, Dennis Ault, Judy Lambert, and Sandy Clark anticipate the afternoon Homecoming parade that threads through the town. In typifying the great amount of student inter- est and excitement in the festivities of Home- coming, a variety of faculty-judges proclaimed the senior float the most outstanding with their Deflate ' Em. October 15 was not really a homecoming in the true sense of the word. Due to construction difficulties the traditional game was played on the field of the Chesterton Trojans. Thus, on a foreign field, Senior Peggy Howard was proclaimed Homecoming Queen for 1965 by choice of the student body. Through a flood of tears, she was crowned by last year ' s queen, Shirley Sobczak, while Student Council President Jim Samuel presented her with two dozen red roses. Duet in Blue was the theme of the annual Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the 1965 Stu- dent Council. Huge artistic murals covered the south, west, and east walls of the gymnasium, depicting regal carriages and crowns. The royal throne was enveloped in a cloud of glitter and blue, dramatically setting off the Queen and her Court. Music was provided by the “Trolls. CAPTURING FIRST PLACE in the Homecoming float contest for the second consecutive year is the class of ' 66.

SANTA CLAUS CANTWELL receives welcome assistance during the annual Christmas Day convocation by two dainty rein- deer, Henry Hinsch and Marty Nehring. 12 Sprigs of Mistletoe suspended from doorways, lights, and red and silver streamers created a ro- mantic atmosphere for couples who attended the Christmas Dance, A Touch of Mistletoe in the Junior High all-purpose room, December 22. To add to the ' Christmasy ' mood a fireplace and a window scene decorated the room with a beauti- ful white flocked tree accented by a black ultra- violet light. Music was provided by the Hitch- hikers. John Wellman served as Master of Ceremonies for the Christmas convocation, sponsored by the Student Council committee which he headed. The Choraliers plus German and Spanish choirs added a musical touch along with the tra- ditional visit by Santa. Fantasy of Love, the annual turnabout Val- entine dance, was sponsored by the GAA, Febru- ary 19, in the PHS gymnasium. Dancing to the music of the Larry Kenny Band, the attending couples voted Senior Diane Snyder as the 1966 Valentine Queen. The decorations were in pastel colors, accented with touches of red. Cupids holding the names of the couples present were suspended from two sweetheart trees. to PHS Winter Dances STOPPING BY THE REFRESHMENT table, John Burge and his date Chris Mrak reluctantly return the Dixie cup from his pocket.

HARD CIDER and doughnuts are cheerfully distributed by Bartender Carl Cooper at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. TAKING A BREATHER between his many marriage ceremonies, Marryin Sam Robert Kellstrom waits for his next victims. In Dogpatch County, Friday, April 1, was a big night. From 8 to 1 1 p.m., the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance was held in the Portage all- purpose room. The dance was sponsored by the GAA with the help of sponsor Miss Bernita At- kins. For couples wishing to get hitched, Marry- in ' Sam Mr. Robert Kellstrom performed a single ring ceremony or shotgun wedding. For those couples that found marriage unsuitable Di- vorcin’ Dan Mr. Harvey Noland handled divorces. Entertainment was provided by the Haints, and for those couples wanting to relax for a few minutes, tables were set up in the jungle hall where cider and doughnuts were served by Carl Cooper from the Dogpatch local bar. The decorations included clotheslines strung from one end of the all-purpose room to the other and the lines were draped with old clothes. A rounded desk was set up at the end of the library hall which served as a bar where re- freshments were served. A painted scene of an old man toting a jug on his shoulder was placed on the north wall. 14 Months of advanced preparation and work by class officers, prom committees, and spon- sors, played a big role in the success of the 1966 Junior-Senior Prom. The prom decoration com- mittee waded through catalogues of color schemes and special decorations after choosing the theme for the prom. Colored streamers and other decorations, including refreshments, had to coincide and follow up the oriental theme. The colors chosen were blue, green, yellow, and laven dar, all of an oriental nature. The refresh- ment committee chose Freshmen and Sophomore girls to serve refreshments, and to add to the theme of the prom, the girls were dressed in ki- monos and fortune cookies were chosen as the main refreshment. The day before the prom, students gathered in the gym to begin setting up decorations. Their goal: to give the gymnasium an oriental at- mosphere. FOLLOWING THE PROM THEME, Cindy Demmon and Jodie Wehner wear kimonos while serving punch. Decorating Ideas Require Time, Imagination URGING AND BEGGING until the candy was sold.

THAT ' S MY DAUGHTER over there. Comments and flash- bulbs pop from the balcony as parents and friends watch the dance. CATHY LEMANSKI AND HER DATE meet and converse with Marsha Schultz ond Harlen Nelson, surrounded by scenes of the orient. Samisen”; Couples Let Loose at Crystal Ballroom Couples entering the hall outside the gym- nasium stepped through the pagoda doorway into what seemed to be the ' land of the rising sun ' . Japanese lanterns, swirls of streamers, and a pond surrounded by oriental trees set up on the stage created the oriental atmosphere for the “Songs of the Samisen.” Renold Young and his dance band plus dim lights and the romantic atmosphere all added up to an evening of dancing and enjoyment by all. The night was still young after the dance and couples moved from the gym to the new cafeteria where they were treated to a smorgas- bord dinner. And after the dinner, the couples proceeded to the after-prom party at the Crystal Ballroom in the Gary Hotel where they were entertained by the ‘Hitch-Hikers ' and ' Ellis the Magician. ' At five o’clock it was over, but in the minds of those who were present, it will live on as a memory. WALKING OUT TO MEET another pair are Crys Kelly and Bob Zborowski while Mr. Lindquist holds the next couple for the right time to make their entrance.

Seniors Move Tassels LEADING IN THE GRADUATING class are Judy Bain, Merrily Mogle, and Chris Mrak, three of the six Junior flower girls. RECEIVING A BIT of encouragement before the ceremony begins, valedictorian Terry Stanley speaks with Mr. Shaddick. WITH A BIG BEAMING smile and his robe slung over one shoulder, Jack Williams enters the school for baccalaureate. RESOUNDING INSTRUCTIONS from Mr. Shaddick comes through the chatter of Seniors as they line up according to height. EXPRESSING HIS THOUGHTS on maturity, salutatorian Paul Hansen presents his speech to an attentive audience. Marking the Start of a New Way of Living Graduates milling in the halls, parents filling the gym, and teachers checking last minute de- tails were all part of the scene graduation night June 2. At 8 o ' clock, with a quick adjustment of caps, gowns, and roses, the 325 strong graduat- ing class filed into the already crowded gym using the hesitation step. Six Junior flower girls proceeded the class and remained standing in front until all of the graduates were in their places. The salutation, Climate for Maturity, by Paul Hansen and the valedictory speeches, The Tolerant American and Patriotism and Its Role in Shaping the Nation, by Terry Stanely and Maarilyn Hatala, respectively, were followed with the usual but very meaningful songs from the choir. After filing up to accept their diplomas from Superintendent Wallace Aylesworth, the Seniors moved their tassels from left to right end- ing 12 long years of work. This was the finale of a long week that began at 2:30 p.m., May 29, with baccalaureate ser- vices. Then had come a succession of Senior open houses that continued through the week and on after graduation night. EMPHASIZING AN IMPORTANT POINT, Reverend George Hinshaw speaks to the 66 class on The Measure of a Man. DAR AWARD WINNER Marilyn Hatala displays one of the original thirteen-starred American flags. SCHOLARSHIPS TO COLLEGES and universities went to Ruth Waldier, garet Paniaguas, and Edith Munro. NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP finalists Paul Hansen and Edith Munro congratulate Senior Terry Stanley on receiving a merit scholarship provided by the Standard Oil Company.

STEWART a look at her newly en- graved name on the plaque is Ethel Jones Award winner Edith Munro. Students’ Hard Work Pays With Scholarships Leadership, citizenship, and scholastic ability were qualities considered by the Senior class and the faculty in their choice of the recipient of the Daughters of the American Revolution Award. In memory of their son, Dr. and Mrs. Maurice Avery set up the $100 Ricky Avery Scholarship fund which is awarded to a Senior with out- standing qualities such as leadership, scholar- ship, and school activity. A scholarship of $100 is awarded to the Senior who excels in athletics and academics. The schol- arship was established in the memory of James Benfield. To earn a merit scholarship, a student must take the merit scholarship test. If the results rank in the top 10,000 in the country, they are con- sidered semi-finalists. The top College Board Examination results of these students are sent to the companies giving the scholarships. The Ethel Jones Award is given to the out- standing journalism Senior. The student must have an A average in journalism and con- tributed his talents to the publications. REC EIVING THE CONGRATULATIONS of Coach R. Smith, Senior Jim Samuel accepts the James Benfield Memorial Award. 21 HOLDING UP his hm-m award for all to see is Awards Day MC John Wellman who claims he won it by all sorts of conniving. FTA SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS Sandy Clark and Dianne Snyder talk over their plans about the colleges they are to attend. Talents Are Recognized With Awards, Grants The Outstanding Business Student was chosen by the business faculty. This person must be a business major and be outstanding in scholarship and in the business field. Fellow students in the advanced shorthand and office practice classes chose five candidates for Miss Secretary. The final choice was made by the business faculty. In memory of Mrs. Kyle, a former English and dramatics teacher, the Drama Club and her hus- band founded the Rowena Kyle Memorial Schol- arship. A fund of $100 was given to a worthy Senior. Selection for the $250 FTA scholarship is based on need, scholastic ability, and an earnest inten- tion of becoming a teacher. The money is gathered together by contributions and projects of the FTA. Three newly founded music awards were an- nounced at the Awards Day Convocation. The John Philip Sousa Band Award is given to a Se- nior by a vote of his fellow band members. The National School Orchestra Award and the George L. Myers Award is decided upon by the music faculty. OUTSTANDING BUSINESS STUDENT Chorles Daniels looks down on his hard-earned plaque as presented by Mr. Johnson. 22 CHOSEN AS RECIPIENTS of the newly founded music awards at Portage — the John Philip Sousa Band Award, the National School Orchestra Award, and the George L.

Practice and Hard Work Produces Recognition Members of the four publication nominated one person from their staff to be eligible for the Most Valuable Staffer Award. The journal- ism advisers then made their decisions among the four candidates on personal characteristics and on the help they have given. Awards found the GAA honoring members with three awards. The local, state, and Out- standing Senior Award were determined on the service given to the club and the number of points accumulated. Each year the vocational arts department enters the state contest. Boys have placed before but this year one boy won a first. The trophy was awarded in the first year machine shop classification. VOCATIONAL ARTS AWARD WINNER Richard Palmer proudly shows his state trophy for machine shop to Mr. Baughman. 25 BOYS ' STATE DELEGATES Jack Call, John Michael, Bill Stan- china, and Max Kitchell make plans for their June Conference.

The branches of the American Legion from Portage and Ogden Dunes who sponsored the delegates were given the top students on a list that was voted on by the Junior class. The delegates will attend sessions at I.U. for a week, studying the workings of our government. The delegates will set up a small city and create offices to which the delegates will be elected. The offices vary from dog catcher to mayor. They set up courts where they hold trials of delegates who have committed misdemeanors. Staffers from the 1966-67 publications were named and five students were given grants to at- tend the Indiana University Journalism Institute. The students will attend the summer institute to learn how to put out better publications by dis- covering new and interesting ideas to improve the appearance and quality of copy and layouts. MR. KOSS PROUDLY announces Pat Kay as the winner of a $500 scholarship from the Association of Artists and Crafts- men.

OUTSTANDING HOME ECONOMICS Student Carolyn Saunders stands before a stove concocting something good to eat. Departments Single Out Outstanding Students THE SENIOR INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION AWARD is presented to Bob Ayres by Mr. Packham during the Awards Day Convo. To a Senior girl with a major in home eco- nomics, the highest honor is to be named Home- maker of the Year. The Girls took a test and the girl with the highest score earned the title. An- other home economics award, the Outstanding Home Economics Student, was chosen by the home economics students and faculty. She was determined by her skills and character. Skills in industrial arts are honored by having a special award, the Industrial Education Award. The recipient must have been a Senior who has shown a special inclination in his four years in the industrial department. Junior students with at least three years of a foreign language took an oral and written test given by Indiana University. If they passed the written and personal evaluation, they are then interviewed in that language. Passing all of these requirements resulted in a scholarship is- sued by IU. Another language award was given out by the Spanish Club. A member was awarded a scholarship to study in Mexico. The scholarship was provided by money earned by the club. Jack Williams, Jim Samuels, Kathy Gerometta, John Wellman, Dick Holms, Bob Osbolt, Fred Lindner, Bruce Lindner, and Tim Nelson received trophies at the Sportsman ' s Banquet May 17 for individual sport achievements during the year. A DEEP INTEREST in a foreign language will take language winners Karen BruBaker and Larry Burkall to Germany and Neil Oaks to Mexico for a summer foreign language program. SENIORS TIM NELSON AND DENNIS ANTILLA discuss the hard work the Portage swimming team put toward winning one of the Wallace relays and their trophy. 29 Our Changing Face in . . . Academics With the great stress on education, our aca- demic program changed and developed with the times. New buildings were built which provided for better lab facilities and a larger physical education department. But before the new labs were completed, chemistry classes had to do with no lab because of no gas or water. The new math seeped into our mathe- matic books and taunted us with sets and theories. SRA physics provided a challenge for the more daring, and the English department continued program changes to create a greater interest. To keep in step with the increasing student body and building area, many new teachers were added to our changing school. 30 PROOFREADING IN BEGINNING journalism is a tiresome but necessary skill to master for Diane Pierce and Jim Borland. Oedipus the King, Siddhartha, and Lord of the Flies were among the literary works the senior English classes critically examined. Other areas of learning included short stories and biogra- phies. Composition classes centered their atten- tion on the writing of a term paper complete with note cards and outlines. Junior English classes embarked on a new field — the writing of a simplified short story. In addition frequent themes ranging in matter from personal opinion to subjective description were required. Brave New World and Macbeth proved intriguing subjects for discussions and arguments in many literature classes. Discussion and study of such novels Red Badge of Courage and Billy Budd added spice to sophomore literature. Students also advanced their writing abilities by writing twenty-six compositions. Units on library science were presented to freshmen along with basic composition and literature. Instruction was given on such phases as orientation, reference, and fiction. Commercials, Novels DEWEY ' S DECIMAL SYSTEM is beneficial to Fresh- man Pat Walters in using the card catalogue. DURING A BRIEF STUDY PERIOD students ponder the aspects of junior literature for the following day. STUDENTS OF THE STAGE gain beneficial experience while acting out various parts in dramatics class. Add Variety to Speech and English Classes How to Play the Mousetrap Game demon- strations and commercials advertising Barney ' s Bubble Bath and the new Guzz soda pop high- lighted the speech and dramatics classes. An- other first for PHS was the creation of debating teams giving students a much broader back- ground in public speaking. The newly instituted National Forensic League gave students still more opportunities in contest speaking and de- bating through interschool debates. A one-act play put on by the dramatics classes was entered in a contest at Calumet High School. Various plays and other dramatics presentations were also attended. Beginning journalism students centered their studies around newswriting and editing, inter- mingled with news quizzes concerning current events. Seeing the Gary Post Tribune put to bed was one of the high spots of the year. On another field trip they visited the POW WOW printer in Valparaiso. Writing articles for sale to magazines, working on a research paper, and critically examining major U.S. newspapers were on the agenda of advanced classes. DR. SEUSS UNUSUAL works are being read and discussed by speech student Merry Johnston. 33 WITH A FLICK OF THE WRIST, Bob Donley and Judy Penning- ton can locate all the countries they study in world geography. Social Studies Students Take Field Trips; PANEL MEMBERS Peter Smart, Richard Reiner, Howard Lyons, and Keith Dennington discuss questions in world history. ECONOMICS STUDENT Larry Thompson centers his attention on the uses of the vault at the First National Bank. Utilize Library Heavily Films and maps aided the social studies de- partment in its teachings this year. Government students prepared notebooks from notes taken in class, questions and vocabulary terms at the end of chapters, and current events reports. Two six-page book reports were also required for successful completion of the course. Field trips to the First National Bank of Portage and U. S. Steel were taken by economics classes. To supplement class lectures, students were ex- posed to panel discussions on automation, large- scale production, and post-graduation jobs. Term papers on juvenile delinquency and a trip to Beatty Hospital were included in the study of psychology. In world history, a book report each six week period and an additional semester report were necessary. Occasional panel discussions were staged on current events. World geography classes performed workbook problems and took exams testing map knowledge. Brief critical sum- maries of the American Reader and book reports distinguished U. S. history classes. PONDERING OVER government test questions. Seniors Bob Cantwell, Jim Jackson, and Tom Knight strive for top scores. 35 CONCENTRATION IS A MUST for Junior Chris Mrok, os she works diligently on a slide rule computation.

Freshman Tim Hamp- ton finds out as he carefully focuses his slide in general science. Concentrate on New Math and Scientific Ideas STUDENTS IN MR. NOLAND’S first year algebra class ponder problems and equations with the use of an overhead pro- jector. Up-to-date textbooks and educational films aided PHS students in mastering the new math. At all levels of mathematics the three theories of numbers, sets, and functions provided the foundation of modern math. Advanced math and calculus classes made extensive use of graphs, solids, and the theory of functions. Aided by educational films, beginning algebra, geome- try, and general math students learned the basics of higher mathematics and set theory. Limited facilities restricted science classes to the study of theories and mathematical concepts with little experimentation. Beginning chemistry students studied valences, bonding, and atomic structures; whereas advanced classes attempted qualitative analysis. Overhead projector and demonstrations enabled physics students to grasp basic theories and nuclear physics. Biology classes concentrated on general biological princi- ples as they pertain to daily living. Individual study and research was the demand of botany and zoology students. The general science course ' s aim was to provide an over-all pic- ture of life on earth. 37 THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM the cold points out a mysterious area on a map of Paris to French student Larry Stanton. Poems, Tapes, and Songs Provide for Greater Variations in classroom procedure created an even greater interest in French this past year. Tape recordings of dialogues, drills, and exams enabled students to practice listening and pro- nunciation traits. Memorization of dialogues through prolonged repetition and study was another area of endeavor. Listening to French classical and pop music was a favorite with all students. Third and fourth year classes delved deeper into the mechanics of proper usage and the fourth year students made a complete study of an epic poem entitled “The Song of Roland. The history and culture of modern versus ancient Germany was a major part of study in “Deutsch classes. Pursuing this field, pupils pre- pared reports on German speaking countries and discussed them in class. The latter two years of German classes spent time studying music and art history in addition to proper forms and pronunciation. TAPE RECORDING is an essential part of teaching a foreign language and German teacher Miss Susan Nelson uses it to its fullest extent in helping Sophomore Janine Krohn. 38 LEARNING BY DOING helps Span- ish students Becky Everett, Mary Walstra, and Chuck Andrus learn the parts of the body. Interest for Learning in Foreign Languages To accommodate the large number of students partaking in the foreign language program, five new teachers were added to the staff. They helped to teach a total of four different lan- guages. Translation was a prominent character- istic of classroom work in Latin. Included in this drill was the translation of Virgil’s epic poem, the Aeneid. Third year students read and studied the llliad, a famous poem by Homer; whereas fourth year classes dealt with Cicero ' s Orations against Catiline. Pronunciation was the key skill developed in Spanish. This was accomplished by means of tapes and persistent repetition. El Cid was a favorite epic work studied by third and fourth year pupils. POINTING OUT HOW AND WHY he arrived at his trans- lation, Latin student Chris Willis takes his turn at the board. Interest Areas Widen in Growing Art Classes Creativity in many media was the demand for the six classes of art. Beginners studied heraldry and created personal coats-of-arms in water- colors. Intermediate and advanced students pro- duced cover designs in a literary magazine cover contest. Then they proceeded to pen-and-ink, tempra, plastic paints, caseins, and oil studies. Students also designed and molded symbols and animal wall plaques while studying ceram- ics. Sculpturing, weaving, and punching were added areas of study. Various fields of printing pursued included lithography, etching, silkscreen- ing, and relief printing. Ending the year was the Gordon ' s fashion art contest in which students competed for a $25 bond and a tour of the Gary Post Tribune. At the annual school art exhibit results of the year were displayed to the public. IN THE PROCESS of making ceramic trays, advanced art students work diligently with their clay sticks. EXAMINING VARIOUS works of art , Duane DeGaetano, Sherrie Zeller, Mary labounty, and Edith Munro engage in constructive criticism. APPLYING KNITTING AND SEWING SKILLS developed in home economics classes are Freshmen Jill Lindstrom and Carol De Gaetano. THESE COOKIES ARE GOOD even if we did bake them our- selves, is a common comment heard in home economic cooking classes. Senior Boys Turn Chefs; Girls Design Clothes DONNED WITH APRONS, Seniors Dale Lindstrom and Arnold Ralston find themselves elbow deep in hot water as they clean up their unit in boys ' home economics class. Some of those delectable aromas issuing from the home economics room were products of the boys ' home economics class. Such items as fudge, peanut brittle, and chocolate cream pie were prepared by the chefs. They also learned about family living and money management and vis- ited a bakery and Ruge ' s Meat Plant. Offered to the girls of PHS were clothing, foods, housing, and home nursing. All classes undertook home projects in which the students made decorations and other useful things for the home. Also along this line was the showcase display. Each teacher was responsible for assign- ing a small group to decorate it for a short period of time. Another major project of the home economics department was the annual Christmas drive. The girls made clothing gifts for family and friends and dressed dolls for the needy. Useable old clothes were also collected at the Portage Clothing Depot. These items were then made over and distributed to wanting families in the area. All students again participated in the May style show either as models or as commit- teemen for refreshments and decorations. 41 CONCERT BAND-Front Row: S. Porter, B. Tarrant, R. Stone, B. Berg, C.

A sharp whistle and a clear spoken “attention awakened marching band members every morn- ing during football season, even once at 7 A.M. Precision routines entitled “Goldfinger and “Mary Poppins were among the shows led by head drum major Tim Skinner combined with the varsity band to march in the Val- paraiso University Homecoming parade. Marchers transformed into concert performers in November as they prepared for the concert season. Part of the preparation included a test of skill — challenges. Both concert and varsity bands presented the first all band concert as well as two others with the choir. The bands also entered the state contest under the direction of Mr. Martin Sensenbaugh. Individual students had a chance to enter the solo and ensemble con- test in February. In order to raise money for band equipment and music, the music students sold tickets to the annual Adam and Eve beef supper as still another activity. Tryouts in concert band produced a pep band and a dance band. Orchestra classes spent much time developing technique and preparing for the May 6 concert.

All-school tryouts provided twelve singers and a piano accompanist for the Choraliers, formerly the Portage Singers. Under the direction of Mr. Roger Lindquist the group performed at concerts and various social functions in the community. Some of the songs used were “This is a Great Country ; “Get Along Home Cindy, Cindy ; and “It ' s a Lovely Day Tomorrow . They also pro- vided music for a skit at the ' Christmas convoca- tion by singing the Twelve Days of Christmas . A ninety-six member choir presented the first choir-orchestra concert as well as performing at two other concerts with the bands. In the late winter, the PHS choir was invited to Highland to participate in a music festival both separately and in mass choir with four other schools. Also included on their agenda was the LaPorte state contest. The vocal contest in February gave all students a chance to display their talents by performing a solo or ensemble arrangement. Another ac- tivity undertaken by the chorus classes and bands was the sale of concert tickets. Students who sold five tickets were given a free ticket to River View; whereas the sale of twenty merited a $5 bill. 45 Students Gain First LOCKER ROOM CLUTTER dominates the scene after a whirl- wind change during a girls physical education class.

Aid and Game Skills in Health Education RETURNING FROM HER FIRST day of behind-the-wheel driving, Gloria Finney receives appreciated approval from drivers ' training instructor Mr. Ralph Morris. Boys’ and girls ' physical education classes were marked by a seven to ten minute period of calisthenics each day. The entire year was di- vided into four week periods known as units. During this time students were exposed to lec- tures, films, quizzes, and one final test. The majority of the time, however, was spent on skill development in the various units — volley- ball, basketball, baseball, badminton, ping pong, and dancing. To exhibit the amount of im- provement in these skills, physical fitness tests were given each semester. Health and safety classes were run in a col- lege-like manner. Three days of each week were spent on lecturing which informed students of body processes, safety precautions, and first aid. In connection with the material covered, films ranging in subject from marriage to carbon monoxide were viewed and discussed. Speakers also came to the school and spoke to students on first aid and water safety. A safety campaign was carried out at home and school by the health and safety classes in the spring. 47 Students Acquire Basics in Business Courses In the commercial division, beginning typing classes dealt with good posture as well as funda- mental typewriting skills. The second year typing students were given frequent timed drills in of- fice practice to increase speed and accuracy. Dots and dashes again proved a baffling subject for first year shorthand students as they learned to take and transcribe dictation but a gradual increase in the dictation rate improved these skills. Advanced classes also experienced dicta- tion at a given rate and transcribed mailable letters. Pins were given at the end of the year for superior work. To supplement the workbook problems, book- keeping classes worked on practice sets. These gave students a chance to put all techniques into practice at once as they used the books of a business. Business math classes were concerned with various types of arithmetic problems rang- ing from decimals to addition. Banking funda- mentals, business partnerships, and check writ- ing were learned by general business students. Retailing class provided PHS ' ers with the oppor- tunity to discuss their jobs given them by the distributive education program. PRECISE CALCULATIONS AND concentration aid Beth Brown with her journalism as she works in bookkeeping class. PLACING PAPER CORRECTLY in a typewriter is one of the basic skills learned by beginning typer Judy Campbell. ADVANCED SHORTHAND STUDENTS transcribe dictation after a timed drill in Miss Esther Katzmarek ' s class. WITH FLYING FINGERS, Carolyn Saunders practices for ac- curacy on a cash register in office machines class. As indicated by the title of the course, office machines class offered a student experience with various machines. Each student was assigned a different machine for a period of at least five days and was then tested on its operation. The importance of penmanship, sales invoices, and filings were stressed in clerical office practice. Salesmanship sought to acquaint students with the different types of store set-ups — retail and wholesale. Pointers on selling and appearance were also features of the course. Studying the dif- ferent types of advertisements and learning their value was the main object of advertising. In ad- dition, the students were required to keep a note- book for advertisement clippings. Sample legal cases were discussed in business law classes and a verdict was determined. In this manner varying opinions were viewed from all angles. POINTING OUT THE CORRECT way to solve a problem to Sandy Templeman is business math teacher Mr. Tsoutsouris.

GATHERING TYPE AND placing it in a stick requires exacting concentration from print shop student Bryan Pinter. Provide Trade Education and Opportunities CONCENTRATION AND STRENGTH are characteristics found to be needed by Charlie Hullett and Mike Gobin in machine shop tasks. Four shops, mechanical drawing, and a build- ing trades class provided a comprehensive pro- gram in industrial arts this year. Besides offering a general shop course to acquaint the student with all phases of the subject, four years of mechanical drawing were made possible. The one hour courses also included print shop, elec- trical shop, and woodworking shop. On still a higher plane of study were the more vigorous vocational training courses designed to train boys for future jobs. In auto mechanics, machine shop, and build- ing trades actual practice training was preceded by studies of theories and related mathematics involving trigonometry. Practice training for the building trades class involved work on another house. Construction was begun near the first model and carried out in much the same design except for the lack of a basement. The students in all three vocational courses were observed by representatives of various companies. In such a manner some of the better qualified boys became prospective applicants for post graduate work. 51 Our Changing Face in . . . Organizations With a busy schedule of academic subjects, Portage students still had time for extra-curricu- lar activities. It seemed like every day some club was called together during homeroom to plan a money-making project or a service project. Our school tries to have a club for everyone ' s interest. And in addition to all our hobby, athletic, and academic clubs, a new club is created when there is enough interest. Such is true with the new VIAC. We have clubs for enjoyment and for service to school and community. Every year they try something new to keep our school inter- esting, changing, and challenging. 52 PREPARING FOR THE NATIONAL HONOR Society book drive by wrapping the collecting boxes with colorful paper are members Cathy Lustgarten, Bill Cheek, and Paul Hansen. Besides its traditional duties of sponsoring the Senior Awards day convocation, the National Honor Society made up a new “A and B ' honor roll using the four-point system. They col- lected 400 books and magazines for the library of the Porter Memorial Hospital. In the spring, they held the annual banquet for old mem- bers and the induction of new members. Membership in this club is decided entirely by a vote of the faculty. To be eligible for considera- tion, a person must be an upperclassman, have a B average, and be in the upper tenth of his class. At-large elections of Student Council officers and members was a major decision voted on by the Council. This new method will first affect the 1966-67 Council. In addition to this major change, they were responsible for installing the victory flagpole and sponsored three interesting convocations fea- turing Birch Bayh, a Christmas program, and the National Science Foundation. Members workv. J at the cloakroom, put up the Christmas tree, and inspected lockers. Revising the out-dated school handbook, Indian Trails,” completed the year.

The basic philosophy is that there are two sides to every issue. At the beginning of the year there was a panel discussion on student demonstra- tions. The Viet Nam crisis, the civil rights issue, and the Supreme Court rulings of the Federal voting laws made for timely debates and dis- cussions. Although hampered somewhat during the sec- ond semester by sharing the twenty-five minutes with Student Council reports, the Guidance Coun- cil did its job. Its 109 members went in pairs to forty-six homerooms and stayed for two sessions in each homeroom. Topics ranged from “Atomic Survival to “Why Stay in School? . Most topics dealt with current social problems, teenage prob- lems, or vocational and educational problems. The Freshman program included a well-rounded orientation program. On October 27, the Guidance Council hosted the parents in homeroom for parents ' night, where the parents switched places with their children and attended their classes. DURING A BRIEF PAUSE FOR CONSULTATION, Juniors Chris Mrak and Judy Bain study facts for rebuttal concerning the 1 965 Voting Rights Bill at a SCS debate. 57 Pow Wow Staffers Add New Features to Paper THE EDITORIAL BOARD, consisting of Editor-in-Chief Edith Munro and Managing Editor Mary Conwell, makes all the decisions before final publications of the Pow Wow. STAFF MEMBERS Joyce Mead, Marsha Youngman, Kandi Ray, Sara Boland, Skip Stout, and Mel Tracht confer on the latest edition. (Not pictured: Margaret Finucane and Paul Wilson.) Although the Pow Wow changed from a letter- press to offset newspaper, its purpose remained to serve as a source of school information and a way for students to catch up on the going-on of the rest of the school. Written and edited by members of an advanced journalism class and a beginning class, the Pow Wow was published bi-weekly under the direction of editor-in-chief Edith Munro. She and four page editors com- bined their talents to organize and assign stories for each of the 18 issues printed this year. Work- ing with the editorial staff, the business staff sold advertisements to area merchants and athletic programs at basketball to round out the profits of the subscription campaign and finance the commercially printed paper. The Pow Wow added new features this year with a sports column, “A Close Look at Sports, more complete news coverage and several edi- torial campaigns. STATISTICS, PRICES, AND CIRCULATION are the concerns of business staffers Mary Walstra, John Bailey, and Susan Baum. NEWS BUREAU-Sitting: M. Garriott, J. Crizer, K. BruBaker, K.

To be eligible for mem- bership, the student must be at least a junior and in the upper third of his class, having played an active part in the PHS publications, the Legend, the Pow Wow or the News Bureau. The Quill and Scroll sponsors the annual publications banquet, presenting awards to outstanding journalism students. The three-year-old News Bureau has come to play an important part in PHS publications. Sponsored by Mrs. Dold, the News Bureau writes all the publicity and press releases for the school in the local newspapers. The members are chosen by Mrs. Dold on writing ability and journalistic promise. QUILL AND SCROLL-Froot Row: J. Crizer, S. Boland, K. Cruikshank, C. Saunders, C. Mrak, K. BruBaker, J. Mead, J.

BUMPING INTO THINGS and working in odd places became everyday experiences for Judy Bain and Carolyn Saunders. LONG HOURS of hard work and much co-operation made for a close working team of co-editors Karen Cruikshank and Mary Miller, and photography editor Robby Hampton. 60 Amid Tight Conditions, Ever-Present Deadlines This Year’s 1966 Legend staff, while working under extremely adverse conditions (a cramped cubbyhole shared equally with the Pow Wow; banging typewriters which frequently failed to operate; lack of drawer and filing space) man- aged to meet the all-to-frequent deadlines. The dedicated editors and many of the staff mem- bers gave up numerous hours of free time both after school and on Saturdays. Beginning in 1929, the first yearbook in this area was published at Crisman High School en- titled the Crismanian. The next year it was known as the Blazer. In 1931, the Legend was started. During the depression and early years of World War II, there was no yearbook. In 1945, the book returned as the Legend. And now, in commemoration of its 25th anni- versary, the 1966 yearbook instituted many new and exciting changes. This year it introduces an embossed cover with one applied color and ar- tistic sketches employed throughout the book. Sales have been increased to 1050 books. A dance and bake sale, sponsored by the publi- cations brought in additional funds. WITH THE HELP of darkroom assistants Tom Arden, Frank Williams, and Rob Nobles, the Legend finally met the dead- lines.

With 600 movies and 2,400 showings a year, our Audio- Visual Club is the busiest club at Portage. Mr. Merel Whiteman, sponsor, estimated that they burned out at least 50 projector bulbs over the school year. Besides showing the always-popular flicks, the Audio-Visual Club members set up the public address system for every pep session and con- vocation presented. The Audio-Visual Club also controlled and maintained the school ' s tape re- corders, slide projectors, overhead projectors, opaque projectors, and record players.

It started off in the beginning of the year at Portage as the Industrial Arts Club, but later on last year, it received its charter in the national organization. Beating every other club at the school, they placed third in the Homecoming pa- rade float contest, behind only the Senior and Sophomore entries. After Homecoming, the club surprised its sponsor, Mr. Robert Baughman, and his wife with a steak dinner at Wellman’s. Although they went fishing one weekend, the club is basically a service organization. Besides making butane bottle holders for the chemistry department, and various other projects for the schools in the Portage Township School system, they worked several Saturdays helping build the Church of God in Portage. EXAMINING THE FINE POINTS of the newly ac- quired charter of the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America are members Charlie Hullett, Leslie Hoxie, and Chuck Hicks. 63 BOOK CLUB-Row 1: Sponsor John Alexander, S.

Representatives were elected by the members of their homerooms to take the students ' orders. For every five books ordered by a student each month, he was entitled a free book. Learning while serving was the by-word for the Library Club. As the girls in the club filed cards and books and helped students to locate books, they became more efficient themselves. From the moment a girl entered the ranks of the librarian, she found herself in a role of counselor, adviser, and locator of volumes for students. LIBRARY CLUB-Row 1: C. Saunders (President), N.

Consisting of only ten members, the Phils and Nums met every Friday. For the second year, Portage students who were interested in collect- ing and discussing stamps and coins were en- couraged to join. They alternated every meeting with a visit to a stamp and coin shop in Val- paraiso. In the spring, the club journeyed to Chicago for the annual Stamp and Coin Show. Meeting every Monday immediately after school, 17 members of the Chess Club proved their ability to reason in the quiet of the library. With a majority of boys, the members were guided during intra-club games by Sponsor Roger Stewart. Through many hours of patient practice, the club members were able to work up to more challenging moves. 65 Los Conquistadores See Jose Greco; Send In its second year at Portage, Los Conquista- dores became stronger and more active. The club did much throughout the year beginning with a Homecoming float with the theme, Stomp Em . Christmas found the troup busily organiz- ing a choir for the Christmas convocation. The club had a strictly Spanish party by dancing to Spanish music and serving Latin American food. Late in February, twenty members went to see Jose Greco in Chicago. Two bake sales and a dance held early in the spring were the club ' s main sources of income. Enough money was earned during the year to send three people to Mexico this summer. A point system was adopted this year so that those people who worked diligently during the year could be recognized. A certain number of points were awarded to each member for their participation in the club ' s activities. This new sys- tem was used as a factor in determining who would be sent to Mexico this summer and in years to come. PONCHE, POR FAyOR!

Latin Club Creates a GERMAN GEOGRAPHY can be interesting as Frau Blei dis- cusses her subject with Miss Nelson and students at a club meeting. 68 Latin Club has undergone many changes this year. Mr. Barry Liss, its new sponsor, worked with the club to see that Latin does not become a dead language. The club enjoyed several so- cial activities. A float depicting a Roman chario- teer graced the Homecoming parade. They also sponsored a bake sale and their annual banquet. In the fall, the German Club staged its annual initiation of new members headed by President Karen BruBaker. Candidates had to eat a lim- burger cheese and onion sandwich and drama- tize a joke or a short story. John Wellman showed his slides of his summer stay in Ger- many. They have listened to tapes recorded in Germany by students there, and they have made one in German themselves which they sent to Germany. The proceeds from a bake sale went to pay their way for a trip into Germantown on May 21. They also had a Fasching party, a German Mardi Gras.

They have listened to a total of five different speakers over the year, whose topics have ranged from the Social Security Sys- tem to what employers look for in job applicants. The PBC is programmed for anyone who is thinking of a job in a business corporation. Service projects, financed by proceeds from an after-game dance in February, included both the Miss Secretary and the Outstanding Busi- ness Student awards. Those attending the Future Teachers of Ameri- ca meetings heard programs featuring special education, a panel of cadet teachers, talks by guest teachers, and a variety of movies. In- cluded in the FTA agenda were various money- making ventures. They sponsored an after-game sock hop, PHS pin sales, and a dance in the latter part of April featuring the Hitchhikers. The money brought in from these projects was used for scholarship funds given to worthy Seniors at the end of the year.

Future Nurses Club Collects Food, Toy Baskets The Future Nurses Club, open to anyone inter- ested in a medical profession or to anyone interested in a high school civic organization, has been very active in the community. For Thanks- giving and Easter, they collected baskets of food for distribution to needy families in Portage. At Christmastime, they collected five boxes of toys, games, and puzzles, which were donated to the Portage Clothing Depot for its welfare work. Also at Christmas, they helped stuff envelopes for the Christmas Seal Drive. This organization has two high purposes. Fore- most, of course, the Future Nurses Club seeks to inform and interest its membership in some phase of the medical profession. Secondly, it reaches into the community as a civic-minded organization. Annually, the Future Nurses hold a tea around the end of the school year. Any interested eighth grader is invited to attend. There is a speaker to talk about some part of medicine. This both boosts club membership and sparks interest in the organization. FNC PRESIDENT, Marilyn Hatala discusses the current problem of a lack of qualified nurses during a club meeting. Art Club Works With Origami, Silk-screening BRUSH AND PALETTE— Front Row: D.

Doorprize winners were allowed to keep one of the creations. Club mem- bers working the dance wore painter ' s smocks and berets and the Auroras played. Art Club was the only organization that regu- larly met at night. At evening meetings they worked on Origami, the Japanese art of paper- folding; invited Dave Sanders from Saturday ' s Child to lecture; and silk-screened and folded cardboard German bells for the Junior Chamber of Commerce Community Christmas tree on the corner of Willowcreek and Central Avenue. The JayCees returned the gift by treating the sur- prised group to pizzas. Later in the year, the club planned a field trip to the Chicago Art Institute, shopped for a fountain to beautify the PHS jungle, and elected new officers for the 1966-67 year.

Drama Club Play Draws In early October, the Drama Club chartered a bus for a trip to see the dress rehearsal for Mary, Mary, a Valparaiso community guild presentation. The Pulitzer Prize winning play The Diary of Anne Frank, was produced by the group in late November and drew a record au- dience of 800 over a two-night run. A bake sale, the proceedings from which went for stage equipment and to the Rowena Kyle Scholarship fund, was highly supported and proved to be a great success. The club ended its activities of the year with their spring comedy Stage Door. Seven new members were inducted into the Thespians this spring at the Awards Day convo- cation. They were chosen on the basis of points gained by working on and behind the stage. A total of ten points were necessary for member- ship by students of sophomore age or over. DRAMA CLUB-Row Is V.

Athletes Receive Trophies at All-Sports Banquet During basketball season, the Lettermen’s Club gave the responsibility of organizing the concession stand to the members of the band and their parents. Cheerleaders and athletes of all sports honored their best sportsmen with the Most Valuable Player awards for their respective sports. These awards were announced at the an- nual All-Sports banquet held May 17. Membership was granted to a boy if he had earned at least one major varsity letter.

WRESTLER FRED LINDNER, chosen for his individual per- formances, is awarded his trophy by Coach Sheriff. GAA Members Attend Tourneys, Hold Banquet Sizzling hot dogs, threatening rain clouds, and autumn leaves provided the setting for a GAA picnic for 145 new and old members. At this first event of the year, officers, rules, and func- tions were introduced; supper and sports ac- tivities were furnished. The Girls ' Athletic Association began the year of sports activities with softball amid building construction. Due to weather conditions, the girls were driven inside for basketball, followed by evenings of volleyball. Though cold weather pre- vailed, swim suits were dug out for six weeks of swimming at the Valparaiso YMCA. Later with suits stored away, GAA minds turned to bowling and tournaments. Tournament winners and high-point bowlers received trophies at the spring banquet held on May 26. Along with trophies, ribbons for win- ning teams in each sport were presented. The new officers were then inducted. Entertainment consisted of reminiscing memories of out-going seniors and a few numbers by the Portage Choraliers. STRIKE!

YEA INDIANS! FIGHT!’’ echoed loudly through the gym at all our basketball games, no matter where we played them. The Portage High School Pep Club was responsible for this tremendous spirit. Due largely to these efforts. Portage easily claimed one of the best cheering sections in the county, and definitely the best cheering section at the Sectional basketball games. Even a broken-down bus could not dampen their spirit; the entire bus- load walked the last mile to Chesterton to cheer our team on. The Pep Club worked long and hard preparing for the sectionals. They practiced every night for a week beforehand. Before then, they had worked hard raising money to buy the pom- poms they used, the pictures of the players, and the signs saluting the other schools. To pay for all of these, they sold programs at every home football game, and the mums for the Homecom- ing dance. In keeping with past years, they again sponsored the traditional Sadie Hawkins dance. PEP CLUB OFFICERS and varsity cheerleaders plan a campaign to heighten school spirit through booster pins. 79 Our Changing Face in . . . Sports Along with studies, we placed importance on the sports that rounded out the school year. Athletics at Portage High School took on a dif- ferent face during the 1965-66 school year. We had new coaches assigned to cross-country, re- serve and frosh basketball, wrestling, and re- serve and varsity baseball. With the completion of the new building, Portage cross-country, foot- ball, track, and baseball were not able to play any of their games before the home-town fans. But this did not dull the spirit; it just made it stronger. Even though we didn t win all the time, we never went down without a fight. 80 VARSITY FOOTBALL-Front Row: C. Putchaven, J. Bugarin, B.

Varsity Finishes 0-9-0; Statistics Belie Record Closing the season with a less than admirable record, the PHS gridders finished with an 0-9-0 Calumet Conference standing. Although plagued by the psychological disadvantage of no games on the home field, the Indians usually topped the statistic struggle with more pass completions, first downs, and yards gained. Injuries also took its toll this year. Sidelined for a part of the year were George Theodora kos, Jim Samuel, Bruce Nagy, and Rick Pazera. The usual amount of pulled muscles and bruised ribs invaded the lockerroom, though more serious in- juries were received throughout the year. Outstanding in the season was senior left half- back Jack Williams, who entered the season late as a result of injuries received before the season began. Jack along with senior Tom Fisher, who was heralded Mr. Football, Denny Crowe, left guard, and Vince Wilson, center, were honored with honorable mentions by the Calumet Conference. The coaching staff was the same as in the past years. Head Coach Robert Smith and Jim Doug- las, assistant, along with the gridders ' trainer Mr. Robert Kerns, steered the team this year.

Gaining recognition in the latter part of the season were some of the more deserving JV players.

The team showed plenty of future varsi- ty material and had one member, George Beas- ley, left guard, moved up to varsity level, early in the season. The freshmen had plenty of spirit and continued to put out 100 per cent during the season.

Tribesmen Finish Second Only to Calumet This year ' s varsity basketball coach, Harold Cox, produced one of the finest Portage teams in recent years. The Indians finished second to Calu- met in the Calumet Conference when they lost to Calumet in a one point chiller. Portage led the Conference in scoring for the second year in a row with an average of 78.4 points per game. Indian Bruce Lindner won top standing in the Conference in individual scoring with a 27 point average. Local sportswriters gave Portage a seventh place ranking in the Gary area at the close of the regular season play. The Indians placed three players on the honored All-Conference squad: Jim Samuel, Gary Vaught, and Bruce Lindner. The Indians grabbed their first Sectional scalp from Washington Township with no trouble at all. Then they went on to pounce the Wheeler Bearcats, 84-69. There was plenty of spirit and drive in the In- dians as they met Valpo in the final game. The Portagites jumped out to a fast lead and kept the score close throughout the game, but the stronger and taller Vikings gradually caught up and pulled away at the end of the game to win 81-72.

Team Work and Spirit Overshadow JV Record This year ' s Junior Varsity team showed an improvement over the past year ' s, closing with a 9-11 record. Even though the record doesn ' t seem impressive, there were many close, hard- fought defeats. The spirit was good and the team worked together. As the season wore on, the team showed considerable improvement in play and hustle. This was due to the efforts of Mr. Casbon, J-V coach, and Mr. Cox, varsity coach. Outstanding Junior Varsity members were leading scorer. Bob Bottorff, followed closely by two top-rate players, Mike Grimm and Dave Reynolds.

But Coach Bruce Sheriff quickly whipped them into shape. Finishing the season with a 5-9 rec- ord, Coach Sheriff said, “They were young but did good as a whole.” Individuals fared well in their contributions to the team. Fred Lindner, perhaps the most out- standing wrestler that Portage produced this year, went as far as regional competition. Burt Cook placed third in the conference meet while Chris Stueker placed fourth. Junior John Hum- phries and Freshmen Burt Cook, Larry Borland and Pat Markos earned letters for their efforts.

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP IS SHOWN as Senior Dennis Antilla shakes hands with an opposing swimmer before a race. The PHS tankers have ended their season under Coach Jon Jepson with a 9 and 10 record. The swimmers started their season with a sec- ond place trophy in the Lew Wallace relays and later went on to capture 3rd in the Calumet Conference swim meet. Senior Tim Nelson and Junior Bob Donley were Portage ' s contribution to the state swim meet. Tim placed twelfth in the backstroke and Bob was ninth in the diving. Six new school records were set this year. Captain Tim Nelson set new records in the 100 yard and 100 meter backstroke with times of 1:05 and 1:13.1. Bob Donley set a record in accumulative diving with a total of 257.75 points. Jack Call set a record in the individual medley with a time of 2:16.3. The 400 yard and 400 meter relay teams of John Wellman, Bill Stanchina, Greg Spetz, and Bob Donley set new records of 4:12.5 and 4:35.2.

The Freshmen and Sophomores, who won the River Forest Invitational, received most of their varsity experience by participating in the varsity meets. This year’s outstanding members were Dick Holms who ran the hurdles and sprints and Jim Samuel who ran anything from the half- mile up to the two-mile runs.

Linksmen Show Promise for Future Years The Portage Linksmen had a successful season this year in Conference play with a record of 6 victories against 4 defeats. Overall their record was 6 wins and 10 losses. In the Sectionals at Elkhart, Senior John Well- man placed fourth out of the 140 boys compet- ing, and the team as a whole placed 11 in a field of 35 teams from all over Northern Indiana. Since there were only three returning lettermen this year, there was plenty of competition for po- sitions among the players. Since the team is only losing one letterman by graduation, they should prove to be a very strong team in the future. Those boys earning their letters this year were John Wellman, Bob Walker, Greg Demmon, Roger Sines, and Rick Allard.

Baseballers Swung Powerful Bats This Season SENIOR RICK PAZERA lets go of one of his many pitches during the ten-inning marathon against Gary Wirt. The varsity baseball team finished their first season under the direction of Coach Larry Cas- bon with an overall record of 8-6. Most Valuable Player Jack Williams led the team with a .438 batting average in conference play. Most of the pitching chores were handled by Senior Rick Pazera, who had a record of 4-3 and led the team with 80 strikeouts. The junior varsity showed great promise for the future by breezing through the season with a record of 6-0. The highlight of the season was the LaPorte game in which Ken Thomas pitched Portage to a 4-3 victory in 20 innings. PHS 4 12 4 4 6 4 5 7 5 1 7 7 1 9 OPP Michigan City 3 Calumet 2 Mich.

Organize Skits and Pep Sessions for Spirit ANXIETY GRIPS Peggy Howard and Micky Orosz for a tense moment during a varsity football game. We re from Portage, couldn ' t be prouder. Nothing boosted the morale of the cheerleaders as much as the enthusiasm of the crowd. The cheerleaders spent many hot summer hours prac- ticing and polishing their routines; the sweat and tears paying off when the block responded and cheered the team on. Three boys appeared to briefly organize a Junior boys ' pep block with cheers, chants, and flash cards of their own. Due to the hard work of the cheerleaders (and a winning team) our pep block nearly doubled in size. Portage made quite a showing at the sectionals with pom poms, flash cards, and bubbling enthusiasm. Five varsity, five reserve, and eight freshman cheerleaders were a part of this year ' s squad. Anyone that was interested in trying out at- tended a clinic last spring. Then at the begin- ning of the school year, the Pep Club narrowed the field down to ten varsity and ten junior var- sity semi-finalists. By a vote of the entire student body, the 1966 cheerleaders were chosen. With- out the guidance of a sponsor, the cheerleaders had a dance and organized skits and pep sessions. 101 Our Changing Face in . . . Personalities A morning bell rings and the halls fill with people. We see them every day. No matter what size, shape, or age, they all have personalities. The faces are of friends, teachers, and some are just those of friendly people. New images inter- mingle with the familiar ones of friends and faculty. From our first Freshman day through our Senior year, we lose and gain many types of friends. Some we remember for their voice, some their attitudes, some the type of clothes they wear. But they all stand out in our minds for one reason or other. Whether good or bad, they’re PHSers. 102 SCHOOL BOARD— Dr. Maurice Avery, Mr. John Kimberlin, Superin- tendent Wallace Aylesworth, Mr. James Crowe, and, not pic- tured, Mr. David Aydelotte and Mr. Glen Baugh. 104 Seventy-three full-time teachers formed the 1965-66 faculty at Portage. The language de- partment experienced the greatest turnover gaining five new teachers. After the 3 p.m. bell rings, time was taken for grading papers, making up tests, and pre- paring lessons. Hobbies and sports also found the way into a teacher ' s life. Faculty interests ranged from archeology to traveling. The bowl- ing league, which met every Tuesday after school, was the most popular single form of recreation. In charge of the whole school was our ad- ministration, Mr. Brian Shaddick and Mr. Richard Wilson. While Mr. Shaddick, principal, took care of most administrative duties, Mr. Wilson, as- sistant principal, handled disciplinary problems. Working closely with the administration was Mr. Wallace Aylesworth, superintendent. He in turn conveyed their ideas to the School Board and carried out the board policies. In addition to this responsibility, Superintendent Aylesworth had the duty of hiring teachers for the school system. Mr. Wallace Aylesworth, superintendent.

[ 114 Seniors Have Hectic Year Making Decisions For 325 Indians, the school year brought the long awaited Senior year. The days that fol- lowed consisted of constructing prize-winning floats for two consecutive years; preparing and sponsoring the Christmas dance, A Touch of Mistletoe ; being decked out in gaudy outfits for the Seniors Clash Party; and accepting the honor of being guests at the Junior-Senior Prom. The Seniors brought numerous awards and honors to the class. These honors ranged from a Conference high-scorer to many and varied scholarships. Baccalaureate and graduation revealed mixed emotions varying from tears to laughter. But after the formalities and parties of graduation the Seniors set out to plan their goals and futures. SENIOR ANNOUNCEMENTS are one of the main concerns of the Senior class officers, Secretary-Treasurer Peggy Howard, Vice President Fred Lindner, and President Bruce Lindner.

GEORGE ZOLKOWSKI Juniors Raise Money for Prom, Class Gift. . . CRISP, SNOWY WEATHER provides excitement for Junior class officers, President Max Kitchell, Secretary-Treasurer Debby Van De Water, and Vice-President Dan Tesanovich. At the beginning of their third year of high school, the Juniors received their long-awaited class rings. Ordered in the spring of the sopho- more year, the rings, bearing the official PHS crest, arrived in late August just before school started. The Junior class Homecoming float, designed to look only half-finished, bore the slogan, We Thought Homecoming Was Next Week. Spotlight 67 was the theme for the Junior class party on January 15, at which The Re- actions entertained. Two stereo record players, a solar-powered radio, and two transistor radios were the five prizes awarded to the winners in the Junior candy sales. A total profit of $2,750 was added to the Junior class treasury. As a climax to the Junior year, the Prom and After-Prom party was arranged and financed by the Junior class in honor of the 1966 graduating class.

As wiser and i nore experienced survivors of the general confusion of their Freshman year, the Sophomores returned to an active second year of high school learning and fun. The class officers did a fine job of organizing activities in which the entire class could partici- pate. Two class parties, Sophomore Disco- theque and Sophomores in Orbit gave them a chance to get together and enjoy themselves. Besides the two class parties, the Sophomores sponsored a series of bake sales in March which proved to be a very successful money-raising project. The Sophomore Homecoming float, a large helmet with the slogan Crack ' Em was awarded second prize this year. Like all Sophomores before them, the class en- gaged in choosing and ordering rings.

But with the help of the guidance department and time, they soon became oriented with the new surround- ings, friends, and organizations. Construction work on the school added to the confusion for the incoming Freshmen. The tra- ditional Freshman bonfire was omitted in the “66 Homecoming because of the game being played on Chesterton ' s home field.
