The shining new football bleachers sup- ported many enthusiastic Panther fans when they cheered our grid-iron team to victories. These bleachers were appreciated by all as the fast- moving games of those crisp clear nights were easily viewed from above. The white sparkling F.F.A. Building also lent a new depth to our methods of learning. The Agricultural boys ' class used this to experiment with different ways of live- stock production. One was testing the effects of different nutritional values of feed upon the animals. Even with these improvements our school is quickly becoming crowded. The enrollment of this year reached 718 and is constantly increasing along with the expanding need of everyone to have a broader field of knowledge for today ' s world. This leads to anticipation of a prevalent need for more teachers and classroom space in the near future.

Each one is a new hope for life now lost in the turmoil of a chaotic world of war, poverty, civil unrest and moral and ethical con- fusion. Precious as rubies, those twinkling diamonds fill hearts and souls with the hope that comes from latching on to a shooting star. Its path goes this way, now that way, with the ecstasy of opportunities for making a better world. We, as youth, have an unlimited source of power to do the things that need doing and to change those that are not in unison with our ways. We are sometimes envied and critized by adults be- cause of our zest and enthusiasm for involvement. Curiosity leads our minds as we struggle for broader and greener pathways. The war in Viet- nam, disorder in the Far East, presidential can- didate Robert Kennedy assassinated, civil unrest in American cities and thousands of hungry people in a world of plenty leads us in our quest for techni- cal, political and social betterment. The developing of our potentials is purely op- tional. A sea of opportunities with a magnetic horizon entices us to excel in a multitude of fields. Education is the lighthouse on that realm of sea. Trial and error are much more a part of our lives than helpful advice. We are individuals with minds of our own and ways that are often con- troversial; but we live in a world that is the same. Still with all the contradictions of love and hate, poverty and plenty, oppression and freedom, youth possesses the sacred right and privilege to Dream The Impossible Dream.

Student Lite I 1 Homecoming Homecoming Festivities Diversified Warm, vibrant weather welcomed all Panther fans to Prairie Heights ' 1968 Homecoming. The night developed into action with a pre-game show by the band; including a special routine of the major- ettes with their flaring batons of fire. Anticipation mounted steadily through the game as everyone waited for the half-time activities to start. Finally strong majestic music of the band signalled the beginning of the parade of floats. Glowing faces mirrored the pride felt by the stu- dents who had worked hard through many exhaust- ing hours to prepare their exhibits. The procession continued to wind around the track. Soon a trium- phant cheer arose as the senior float was awarded first prize. Then an excited hush cair.e over the crowd for the introduction of the queen candidates. Happy smiles and misty eyes along with buoyant cheers greeted Pam Young as our new queen, with Linda Spillner and Linda Tracey as her first and second attendants, respectively. The evening ended perfectly as the final score read Prairie Heights 26, Hamilton 6. The sparkling majorettes thrilled their audience with a ftp The Queen and her court. Bobbie Keyes, 1968 Queen.

Enchantment Fills Evening One believed they must be stepping into the fairyland of Cinderella as they entered upon the 1969 Sweetheart Dance. The soft glowing lights of the candles flickered gently upon the pink and velvet cupids floating about the room. And many a couple left their hopes known to the often used wishing well. The night glowed with happiness for those present, but an air of excitement surrounded the evening. During the weeks students had been voting by pennies for their favorite king and queen candidate. Many whispered consultations were held over the ballot boxes as students tried to decide who was ahead. Finally as the last votes had been counted it was time for the presentation of the new king and queen. Jill VanWagner and Ralph Wilson, senior candidates, were announced as the proud owners of the title 1969 Sweetheart King and Queen . Content with the royalty chosen for this year, the ball came to an end. The Queen and Her Court.

Cindy was be- stowed with a lovely rose corsage. As representing our school she presented the amount of S91 to the March of Dimes Fund. A blanket collection was well con- tributed to at the Eastside-Prairie Heights Basketball game and contribu- tions were made by students in March of Dimes Folders. Other candidates for Queen were: Connie Hicks, junior: Char- lotte Sobasky, sophomore; and Carol Beer, freshman. Students voted with coins in boxes provided by the candidates. This money was also used to meet our March of Dimes goal. Congratulations. Cindy and may your reign be memorable.

Drama Productions Captain Applejack Seeks Adventure The drama club ' s first play presented this year was Captain Applejack. Ambrose Applejohn, portrayed by Denny Tropp, was an English gentle- man who believed that having never been adventur- ous, life was passing him by. Then at the advice of an American salesman (Dave Stayner) he de- cided to sell his home and use the money for travel- ing. During the real estate enactment Applejack learns of his ancestors who were notorious buc- caneers. An exciting plot is then ensued as Russian faviets (Christine Smith and Doug Butler) compete with gangsters (Richard Kinsey and Pam Young) for the discovery of secret treasures hidden in the house. Directed by Mr. Poston, the plays have been pre- sented as a result of his combined efforts with the zeal and eagerness of those students participating. Including Dracula , they have been met with en- thusiasm by the public and all look forward to more of these fine productions.. 16 Student Life Borolsky comes looki ng for Anna Valeska and nonchalantly lights a cigarette. w Dracula ' s death scene shows him being placed in his coffin Denny Tropp (Jonathan Harker), Doug Butler {Count Dracula) Dave Stayner (Professor Van Helsing), Barry McMahon (Dr Seward). Three One-Act Plays Favored by Audience The Drama Club was active this year pro- duction-wise. Six new scenic flats were con- structed along with doors and French windows. The scenery was fitted with professional stage hardware. New stage braces and floor-weights made it possible to erect firm stage settings without the once-essential wooden floor. The addition of a colonial fireplace enhanced the authenticity of the two major productions which were distinquished in visual appeal. The November 8 9 adventure-drama CAP- TAIN APPLEJACK had a memorable pirate- mutiny dream sequence that was highlighted by a slashing sword encounter. The March 27 28 vampire-thriller DRACULA featured all of the Broadway original. The Drama Club concluded its season with TRIO an evening of student directed one-act plays: SUITABLE FOR CHARITY directed by Barry McMahon Dave Stayner, CASE OF THE WEIRD SISTERS directed by Denny Tropp, MURDERS OF MIRIAM co-directed by Pam Young Faye Finkley. For this particular year, the club had access to Mr. Poston ' s rare props, Victorian furniture, and classic film collection.

A ihletic Banquet Eskew Addresses Parents and Athletes Mr. Phil Eskew, president of the Indiana High School Ath- letic Association was guest speaker at the annual Athletic Ban- quet on May 14. In his talk Eskew stressed the importance of having organized and commission controlled athletics where schools play by the rules as a member of the IHSAA or they don ' t play at all. He used various examples to illustrate how the IHSAA operates and why. Eskew pointed out the integral part that parents play in the school athletic program. Master of ceremonies for the evening was junior Doug Booth. Barbequed chicken was featured as the main course of the meal. The cafetorium was packed with athletes, parents, and coaches, all part of the school athletic program, as the awards and recog- nitions were given. All team members both junior and senior high were recognized and special achievement awards were given for outstanding accomplishments in the various sports. George Compton was asked to display all his ribbons and trophies in track and cross country that he has received over his high school years on a table at the banquet. The table was laden. Bieswanger Repeats- Girls Compete Against Boys The third annual Little 500 was held May 26. The event was a variety of races on bicycles at the Prairie Heights track. The main event was 50 laps consisting of three boys teams and one girls team. The girls competed against the boys because they were the only entry in the girls competition. Girls on the team were K. Stapleton. D. Tracey, P. Hill, and C. Sobasky. The winners time for the 50 laps was 38 minutes .07 seconds. D. Beiswanger was the winner in the individual bicycle race. This was the second year in a row that David won this event. K. Stapleton won the girl ' s individual event beating last year ' s champ, L. Mullins, in a close race. Randy Noll, Greg German, Ronnie Holiday, and Ken Sanders were the mem- bers on the winning Jr. Hi. team. The Little 500 was sponsored by the FFA and Athletic Department.

To Be Better Far than You Are We often think of ourselves as living in a world which no longer has any unexplored frontiers. We speak of pioneering as a thing of the past. But in doing so we forget that the greatest adventure of all still challenges us — what Mr. Justice Holmes called the adventure of the human mind . Men may be hemmed in geographically, but every generation stands on the frontiers of the mind. In the world of ideas, there is always pioneering to be done, and it can be done by anyone who will use the equipment with which he is endowed. The great ideas blong to everyone. ( Mortimer Adlerj Every piece of marble has a statue in it waiting to be released by a man of sufficient skill to chip away the unnecessary parts. Just as the sculptor is to the marble, so is education to the soul. It re- leases it. For only educated men are free men. You cannot create a statue by smashing the marble with a hammer, and you cannot by force of arms release the spirit of the soul of man. I Confucius I Acad emics Communications Closed Circuit TV Offers Training Ten students from the TV class visited Marion High School where they toured the building. This included the television studio where they were al- lowed to operate Marion ' s equipment. The TV course not only teaches television production to the students but also prepares them to assist the faculty in the classroom with the operation of our camera equipment. Among the equipment the students learn to operate are the video recorder, modulator, vidio mixer, and the TV camera. Every person has at least one area in which he can excel. The English department used this idea to incorporate a unique method of teaching into our school system. Each student was allowed to choose the way he preferred to present his study to the class. For example, along with a report, he might want to use construction, bring articles that re- ferred to the report, or conduct surveys to supply him with extra information. Many students de- cided to study the handicapped. To be more au- thentic with their ideas and feelings some spent a day handicapped by being constantly blindfolded. During the year the English classes was host to ten special speakers. They all added spark and zest to the area of study and contributed to the learning efforts of the classes. y ' French students use the language lab to hear and respond to ALM Tapes. The instructor may, through his console, talk to any particular student or all of the students. Junior High English students are placed in a Remedial Reading course which attempts to improve the reading ability of the stu- dents who have definite problems in this field of education. The machines aid in both speed and comprehension. Mickey Shaffer and Scott Reese tape a WPHS TV show during their communication class as Diane Shumaker says, You ' re Jeff Claussen presents a speech which is being taped on closed circuit TV to be reseen for self-evaluation. Ruth Glasgow and Chuck Huff demonstrate to the class Ihe proper use of the slide rule for multiplying. Math 16 Major in Math The math courses offered at Prairie Heights are as diverse as business math, which involves using the basic mathematical operations in practical situa- tions, to senior math, which includes trigonometry and analytical geometry. This year 16 students completed a math major by successfully learning algebra, geometry. Algebra II, and senior math. These students also visited Tri-State College at Angola, Indiana. There they were allowed to work with an IBM-1620 computer. The geometry class learned to use the slide rule to simplify operations of math as will be of certain importance for those students later enrolled in Physic and Chemistry classes. They also learned to prove mathematical statements formerly accepted as basic rules. A polar graph with applications from a polar equation is drawn by Karen Parsel in Analytical Geometry. Values for (r,q) are plotted in solving the problem. Office Machines Class Visits Sealed Power The business department attempts to train stu- dents for two objectives in the business world. It gives training to those students planning a vocation in business and teaches skills to others who will need it for their personal use. To combine the teaching of both, students study practical needs along with more advanced techniques. Students enrolled in these courses experience many business events. For example the office machines class visited the Sealed Power Plant of LaGrange. Indiana, where they toured the adminis- tration office in action. The department has been very active this year. For the first time it was host to a Business Educa- tion Contest consisting of schools in the local area. There was testing in the divisions of short- hand, typing and bookkeeping. To those tallying the winning score, a school trophy along with individual awards were presented. The contest was enthusiastically received by those who attended. This should prove to become an annual event which is eagerlv awaited bv all business students. UPPER LEFT: Bookkeeping practice set is opened and students read instructions and begin work.

Science Nature Trail Used to Enhance Study The lab science, biology and zoology students used the nature trail to enlighten their scientific studies. These students also used many magazines and periodicals such as the Science News and Scientific American to help them to understand more fully the world of science. The purpose of lab science is to have a better understanding of all sciences and their realtionship to our daily lives. Biology is the study of plants and animals to obtain a better understanding of life and life processes. Zoology is a relatively detailed study of the animal kingdom from classification through sociol- ogy- Physics is the study of physical properties of matter and the inter-relation of heat, light, electricity, sound, and mechanical aspects of mat- ter. Fifteen students from the physics classes vi sited the Indiana Institute of Technology during a field trip to the science day held there. Earth-Space science is a general survey of the area of geology, astronomy, aerology, and atomic energy. Experimental plants are grown in the school greenhouse where grafting and crossing of various plants takes place by students under the direction of an instructor. This Biology student observes the minute, primitive amoeba on a prepared slide for the lab section of the course. V V i : ' ■ ? ' I Penny DeLancey. Ed Gordon.

A Bluebird house made as a Conservation project for Economics, is displayed by Richard Ernsberger. Students worked on various promotional projects after hearing the pleas of Conservation Social Studies Conservation Projects Undertaken in Econ The U.S. Government-Economics classes have been involved in many outside trips and activities. They enjoyed field trips to Indianapolis where they visited many points of interest including the capitol building and the state legislature, and to the Angola Court House on National Law Day. As a special project the students bought and sold stocks in a mock effort to profit through speculation. They also learned about conservation by studying it first and then actually using that knowledge to develop conservation devices. In government students learn how various governmental forms affect them and how they, as responsible citizens, influence and participate in making ou r governmental system operate effectively. The economics course is offered for the purpose of showing students the way our economy works and compare our economy with other economies. Students study money and banking, government finance, distribution of income, world trade and other economic systems. officers Jim Wire and Charles Park. Sara Todd holds wood- duck house. World history deals with man ' s beginning of time on earth down to the present. Interlaced with this is the formation of countries and the rise and fall of these nations. The causes and results of these, also used in relation to our nation, make up the heart of the studies of world history. U.S. History is a detailed study of the govern- ment of America. It probes into the relationship of the people to the government and deals with the political issues and ideas along with important events of our country ' s history. This year the U.S. History classes studied the United States ' governmental processes as the elections were held. By watching the news media students learned about the rules and regulations set up in the Constitution. This proved to be greatly beneficial to making each a better citizen. Psychology is the science of the mind. Sociology is the study of human relationships. Combined, these two courses give students a better understand- ing of themselves and the people around them. In sociology each student chose a specific area of concern for a research project. College-bound students were urged to develop their subject through a research paper. Others were free to choose their own method: Scrap-book, collection, display, and others. 34 Academics In her oil painting Sandy Koehler finds she can express her inn most feelings and ideas into her own personal creation. Art Displayed at Tri-State Art Show Our fine arts department has contributed much to the school. By using its facilities students can truly express their own feelings and personalities through their work. At he art room students find a haven where they may feel at ease to experiment with the facilities available and try to find what they are best at doing. Some they may choose from are wood carvings, painting, clays, silk screening, and paper-mache. Many Prairie Heights art students contributed to the Tri-State Art Show held during the school year. The band and choir found they had a busy schedule to fulfill. The band performed at half-time during home football games, held many concerts, and marched in parades-including the Auburn band contest where they placed first among other participating bands. The choir also held concerts in which the newly formed swing choir performed. This is a small group of selected students which use modern swing music and present it in an informal, easy-going way.

First there is the animal science which deals with management in the areas of beef, sheep, poultry, and dairy. Next is the soils and crops division which allows the student to become acquainted with the different production practices of farm crops. Then is farm management which is concerned with the actual running of a farm and agricultural prices. Students spend time with each of these categories and to completely round out the agricultural course students also work with farm machinery. Students taking this course have excel- lent access to learning experiences as they are allowed to work on the Prairie Heights Farm. This year the F.F.A. boys participated in a par- liamentary procedure contest. They also presented this for the entire student body. Sam Perkins and Aaron Pfafman appeared on WKJG television several times in competition with other Indiana boys for the ag. achievement award. The boys brought the trophy home! Home Economics begins in junior high where the girls learn the basic techniques and continues through the senior level where advanced skills are taught. This year a variety of areas have been penetrated. The freshman girls touched briefly on many sub- jects and began their first involved sewing project — a skirt. The sophomore girls learned home nursing, ex- perimented with different weaves on looms to learn of the construction of textiles, and as their sewing project made a dress. The junior girls studied human relationships which included child development and family rela- tionships. They also planned their future dream house. They made a scale model of the house with samples of drapery, carpeting and upholstery. With this they also estimated the cost of building in re- lationship to their future needs and their future husbands ' salary. The senior girls studied foreign foods. One meal was devoted to each country or section of country selected and the girls made decorations and dressed in harmony with the theme. Some of those chosen were Mexico, Hawaii, and France. They also constructed the traditional wool suit. The se- lection of material weave and pattern is left to each girl ' s taste, but every suit was to be completely lined and made to the approval of the teacher. 1 ■IBs — c £-. ■  ™ l 0 Off - ■ .! z Academics 37 With the use o! his mechanical drawing instruments, Kerry Hoy- er draws up the blueprints for one of his assignments in the course. In the Industrial Arts shop these boys combine their efforts to work on their woodworking project for the six weeks. Industrial Arts Arts Offer Training Freshmen and Sophomores took the beginning shop course which is split into five different sections. The student spends six weeks in each section. The six areas were: free-hand sketching, woodworking, metalworking, plastics and printing. This class is not designed to make the student proficient in each area, but rather to familiarize him with a few of the many phases of industry. Sophomores and Juniors were offered a course in advanced woodworking. This class is divided into two parts. The first being Industrial Math which runs just the first semester and deals with the simple math used in industry. The second semester is spent in cabinet work, and deals with the advanced phases of woodworking. Engineering types of drawing were covered in a class composed of Sophomores and Juniors. Many of the students entered a mechanical drawing contest at Tri-State. Diane Huff won a first for PHHS. Physical Education Gym Show Sponsored by Department Physical education covers a wide variety of sports. The students enrolled in this course enjoyed many activities such as soccer, volleyball, track field, softball, tennis and basketball. The junior high classes learned to square dance and increased their physical ability while having a heigh-ho time. Also a new twist was added for the girls this year. Along with learning gymnastics they were taught the basic techniques of self-defense. So watch out would-be attackers, our girls are pre- pared! The physical education department also presented a gymnastics show held at Prairie Heights March 21, 1969. One of the highlights of the show was Pam Young performing on the balance beam. She coordinated her movements and various stunts to the rhythm of music. Approximately fifty girls and fifty boys participated and all had spent many worth-while hours of hard work and practice to make the exhibit the successful one it proved to be. For the firs ' , year girls perform routines and basic parallel bars, taking much skill and practice.

Library and Study Book — Quietest and Most Constant Friend Study involves delving into a subject deeper than just surface material. It ' s exploring an area, not until you comprehend it more, but until you realize how mysterious it and all of life really is. Knowledge is sensing far horizons and beautiful prospects, the consciousness of the largeness and mystery and wonder of life. Each year heads of the departments present re- quisitions for new books for their particular area to be added to the Library. Mrs. Bryan also selects ad- ditional books. Approximately 500 copies increase the volumes of the Library each year. Fifty-five dif- ferent periodicals are provided for research or enjoy- ment. About 75 books are checked out of the Library each day. Due to a need of general reading pleasure the Library has mostly fictional books. In the various areas of research the Library is as balanced as the budget will allow. A balance is sought between re- search materials for junior and senior high. Interesting projects from various departments oc- casionally find their way to the Library for display. Since the Library is the center for interested people to come and go, it is an ideal place for such displays. The more one reads and observes, the wider is one ' s scope of knowledge. Faye Binkley observes layout patterns in an annual from MSU. Many books are checked out of the Library each day. Marie Howe processes a check out by stamping it with the due date. 40 Academics •j fcrrE fag fc Mi A ' B 1 .Jfc ■w. There ' s a warm, comfortable feeling in the Library with its soft green carpet and golden draperies. Individual carrels along the one side are used for more privacy. An array of periodicals is utilized by students who enjoy just browsing. Available resources aid stu- dents to better fulfill their assignments. Its the extra research a student does that makes him better prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow ' s competitive world. . . . To Try When Your Arms Are Too Weary 1 ' It is not the straining for great things that is most effective; it is the doing the little things, the common duties, a little better and better — the constant improving — that tells. We often see young people who seem very ambi- tious to get on by leaps and bounds, and are im- patient of what they call the drudgery of their situation, but who are doing this drudgery in a very ordinary, slipshod way. Yet it is only by doing the common things uncommonly well, doing them with pride and enthusiasm, and just as well, as neatly, as quickly and as efficiently as possible, that you take the drudgery out of them, This is what counts in the final issue. How can you expect to do a great thing well when you half do the little things? These are the stepping-stones to great things. Many a man had dignified a very lowly and humble calling by bringing to it a master spirit. Nothing that is necessary to be done is small when a great soul does it. ( Orison Mardent NATIONAL j HONOR SOCIETY Organizations Kirk Aldrich and Terry German sell refreshments at a ball game. The concession stand is one of the club responsibilities. Student Council Revised System of Election Adopted Proposal of a new system of election of Student Council officers was accepted by the Student Coun- cil and was effective as of this year. This system is based on the national elections, having first primary, then final elections of political parties. Following is a recall of the system: An interested student presents his ticket including his slate of officers.

Organizations 49 Discovery Newspaper Folds Up- Lack of Funds Due to a lack of funds and lack of interest, the Discovery was forced to fold-up after the first semester. After a semester without the school news- paper, many students realized how vital it was as a form of school news media. If funds and interest are present for the 1969-70 school year, perhaps the printer ' s ink may be put in use once again. A checker tournament was sponsored by the Discovery. Games were played in the hall during the lunch hour and participants could play as many games as they desired. A trophy was awarded to Lon Shipe, champion of the tournament.

Bonita Hunter edited the magazine this year consisting of poetry, short stories and essays. Assisting her on the staff were: Janice Shire, assistant editor; Chris Smith, art editor: Kirk Aldrich, business manager. The Editor, As- sistant Editor and Art Editor journeyed to Precision Litho in Fort Wayne where they were shown how the particular cover they had designed would be made. New this year was the typing of the literary copy directly onto the plates for printing. Previously the printer had assumed this responsibility of setting up type. Spring arrival of the magazine just before school was out for the summer made the publication a nice piece of art to take home and read this summer for enjoyment and inspiration. Material for the magazine was submitted by- students seven through twelve who felt inspired to contribute something of their own from their own creative order.

Terra-Space Club Hippensteel Talks on Oceanography Twelve members journeyed to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago for a Terra-Space field trip. Specific things were pointed out and ob- served by the members who are especially interested in the field of science. Providing an opportunity to view scientific equipment and procedures is one of the objectives of the club. Mr. Pete Hippensteel, instructor at Tri-State College, was guest speaker at one of the club meetings. He spoke in the area of science referred to as Oceanography , the science of ocean phe- nomena. This was a field in which most members knew very little and were anxious to hear about to aid them in their understanding of science. Club officers this year were as follows: Scott Reese, president; Ronnie Evans, vice-president; Debbie Merriman, secretary; Dave Stayner, treas- urer; Penny Delancy, reporter. 52 Organizations Preparing to send up his rockets.

Photographers Camera Bugs Organize Club Out of student interest in photography a new organization originated this year. The Photo Club members, along with Mr. Rubley. used the facilities of the school dark room. Taking pictures, develop- ing, printing and all the other processes of photog- raphy were basically learned. Some of the members had previous experience in this area, while others had none. Thursday evenings after school the halls would be flashing with picture taking for practice and development of technique. One member was the first person ever to develop colored film successfully in our school dark room. Members learned how to use the various instru- m ents in the dark room, such as the drier and the enlarger. As the year progressed the members learned through experience with their own various cameras the techniques of photography. Expression and content of the picture was studied as well as the mechanics of the developing process. Since the dark room was used this year by the yearbook, the newspaper and the photo club, it was important that certain rules be followed in regard to dark room procedure. An interest was nurtured by a group of eager students and a club developed. Valuable experience was gained by all in using the dark room facilities as well as a good year of picture taking for fun and memories. Camera Club. FROST ROW: Welker. Hicks. Hall. Stalf. Conlev.

The Junior High section of the Pep Club adopted the red wool double-breasted vests that had always been worn by the high school members. The high school girls purchased red corduroy and made simple V-neck straight jumpers under which they all wore long sleeved white blouses. Anita Glasgow made red berets for all the senior girls in the club. This added to t he spirit of the club and contributed greatly to school spirit when the Scream Team was assembled in their section arrayed in their bright red uniforms. The club met regularly to work with the cheer- leaders on yells and chants. For the sectional white carnations tiped in black were worn by the mem- bers.

Dave Stayner and Pam Young acted as student co-directors of the Pep Band for all of their performances. At the spring awards program they received recognition of this achieve- ment and great responsibility. Pep Ban ' d members purchased black V-neck sweaters and wore them with white shirts or blouses for their appearances. Setting in the block next to the Pep Club and both groups arrayed in sharp uniforms, one felt proud to be a member of such a spirit-minded student body. Both new popular hits and old classical pops were played by the band throughout the season. Some yells were coordinated with the Pep Club in which the band played and the Pep Club chanted. Pep Band is a means by which some talented stu- dents can display school spirit and create more school spirit in the student body and other spectators. The music they produce creates an enthusiastic atmosphere for both the team and those supporting the team. We recognize them as an integral part of school life and a successful, victorious team of musicians. Norton. Cline, Jo Van Wagner. Hunter. BACK ROW: Bry; R. Fretz, Henderson. F. Stayner. Chrysler.

Six new scenic flats were constructed along with doors and French windows. The scenery was fitted with professional stage hardware. New stage braces and floor-weights made it possible to erect firm stage settings without the once-essential wooden floor. The addition of a colonial fireplace enhanced the authenticity of the two major productions which were distinguished in visual appeal. The November 8 and 9 adventure — drama Cap- lain Applejack had two memorable pirate-mutiny dream sequences that was highlighted by a slashing sword encounter. The March 27 and 28 vampire- thriller Dracula featured all of the mystifying stage effects of the Broadway original. Three weeks later the Prairie Heights Drama Club concluded its season with TRIO an evening of student directed one-act plays. These were Suitable For Charity directed by Barry McMahon and Dave Stayner, Case Of The Weird Sisters directed by Denny Tropp, and Murders Of Miriam co-directed by Pam Young and Faye Binkley. For this particular year only the club had access to Mr. Postons rare props, Victorian furniture, and classic film collection.

A good response by the whole student body marked the Christmas of 1968. Senior FTA members served breakfast to the faculty and Administration at the Christmas Break- fast in the Cafetorium. Assistance was given to the CTA in publicizing, selling tickets and working at the CTA Chili Supper. The $300 CTA Scholarship was awarded to FTA member Geri Frick who will be a freshman at Indiana University in the fall majoring in Secondary Education in the field of English. Field trips to Huntington, Goshen and Manchester Colleges highlighted the year. Members were al- lowed to set in on classes of their own choice and talk with the instructors and students. Visits to dorms and other buildings along with lunch at the Cafeteria was included in the tours at each college campus. New members were inducted early in November at an evening service for parents at which new mem- bers took the FTA oath of responsibility. Leading club activities this year were: Denny Tropp, president; Karen Pankop, vice-president; Linda Benson, secretary; Susan Spade, treasurer. FROM ROW: Dawn Merriman, German, Conner, Hall.

' He is the person who waits upon the bench with his hand upon his knee, watches every play, listens to all the cheers, always hoping to get in. He watches his teammates execute plays which he has helped to work, during practice, to perfec- tion. For months he ' s had the lowly place of sub- merging himself in loyal desire that teamwork might be made complete, and yet he has not heard his name in the crowd ' s acclaim. The crowd sees him waiting for his chance, the chance perhaps that will never come, but neverthe- less he gives his best. He is content when thousands laud his team- mates, but let us remember that successful teams were never built without the Sub who prays, hopes, works, and waits. It is believing in these words: To fight the un- beatable foe. To run where the brave dare not go that gives a team the courage to THINK BIG and to win!

Baseball Panthers Move Up in Conference — Best Ever Summer baseball for the Panthers was a reversal from the previous season. The Panthermen won seven of twelve decisions and were runnerup in conference tourney. The diamond nine were able to avenge some defeats suffered during the 1968 Spring season. The team finished second in the conference standing which is the highest league placement in PHCS baseball history. The team was eliminated in sectional play by Westview, a team the Panthers defeated three times after sec- tional play. Holden was the team ' s leading hitter with 15 hits in 41 trips to the plate (366 average). He was chosen by his teammates as the most valuable play- er. Holden, Ellsworth, and Bowman tied for RBI leadership with 11. The bulk of the pitching was done by Booth with a 2.21 ERA; Holden followed with a 2.27 ERA. Holden, Ellsworth, Bowman, and Levitz were nominated for the all-conference team. The 1969 Spring season (warmup for the Sec- tional) was not as fruitful as the Summer play. The Panthers had high hopes of claiming a Sectional championship. However, fate of destiny was not shining on the glovemen. With two key-men missing because of illness injury (Booth Hold- en), the team claimed three victories of eight decisions. 72 Sports Center Fielder Wilson takes a healthy swing.

Coach Compton Places at State Each year the cross-country boys take a change in their strenuous schedule to work out at the Michigan Sand Dunes. Here they showed us an artistic view of their activities. Last August a group of the Panther red- runners journeyed to the dunes on Lake Michi- gan for a week of work-out before the starting of the season. This week of concentrated work-outs follows a summer of regular weekly practices. The boys camp out in their bed rolls and live out in the wild for a week with Coach Kuhn and Mrs. Kuhn (head cook). Running in the water is one of their drills that has been found very beneficial to the exercising of muscles in this week of preparation for the coming season. Fun as well as work-outs comprise the schedule regularly. This is an annual trip for the red-runners usually about the third week in August. Pacing the Panther pack again this season was senior, George Compton, who broke his previous school record in the two mile numerously. Comp- ton took first in the sectional, first in the regional and eighth at State Competition. George was the first PH athlete to represent us at State Competi- tion. At the annual Athletic Banquet Compton re- ceived the Outstanding Senior Award in Cross Country. Compton has received an athletic schol- arship and will be attending Vincinnes College in the fall term.

The primary pur- pose of the Jr. Varsity schedule is to give these young members playing experience — next year many of the members will fill the position of gradu- ating seniors. During the 1968-69 season, the young panthers won 5 and loss 3. At times they displayed good of- fensive power scoring 40 points in two games, and at times they displayed good defense.

Grueling work and a constant striving effort for perfection led the junior high football team to a blazing season. Each boy was expected to practice five nights a week for 1 1 2 hours. With this vigorous schedule enforced, a winning season was attained by both the seyenth and the eighth grade. This year Coaches Click and King innovated a new idea for co-captains of their teams. Each game two outstanding boys were chosen to serve as cap- tains. This rotated the honor and responsibility of the position to many different boys throughout the playing season. With a final record of 5 wins, losses for the eighth grade and 2 wins, 2 draws for the seventh grade we can be confident of a victorious team headed for varsity action in a few years. Tubbs, J.

Almost every contest the team was at a heighth disadvantage but tried hard to compensate for it. The team lost the 4-way Tourney to Hamilton with a score of 26 — 31. In the afternoon game Fremont forfeited to the pan- thers due to weather conditions. The team ended the season with a 4 — 1 1 record. An individual summary of team members shows that Mike Sassanalla had the highest per game average of 8.3 for the season. Dean Twitchell captured the best free throw percentage from the charity line making 67% of his shots. Freshman now move up to the Junior Varsity squad next season. The young panther cubs hope to see more basketball action at this level. If the desire and drive is continued, some of the members will definitely make their presence known on the hardwood court at this time. 1968-69 Freshman Basketball Prairie Height; Opponent 40 Lima 41 41 Brighton 49 39 Bronson 58 24 Hamilton 39 39 Angola 47 49 Fremont 24 39 West Noble 56 30 LaGrange 41 39 Westview 45 56 Wolcottville 63 2 Fremont Forfeit Tourney 26 Hamilton 4-way Tourney 31 35 Dekalb 44 46 Fremont 22 39 Brighton 37 Freshman Basketball.

Of such a life the dominant characteristic is that it is unafraid of what other people think. Like Colum- bus, it dares not only to assert a belief but to live it in the face of contrary opinion. It does not adapt either its pace or its objectives to the pace and ob- jectives of its neighbors. It thinks its own thoughts, it reads its own books, it develops its own hobbies, and it is governed by its ' own conscience. The herd may graze where it pleases or stampede where it pleases, but he who lives the adventurous life wi remain unafriad when he finds himself alone.

Five elected members and Superintendent Diehl com- prise the Board of Education for the Prairie Heights Community School Corporation. Repre- senting parents and citizens of this school com- munity, the board makes decisions and policies as the needs arise. They meet regularly and when deemed necessary an emergency meeting is called. Meetings are open to the public and parents and citizens of the community are encouraged to attend that they might be constantly aware of the needs and problems in local school administration. An issue hindering school functioning this year was the teacher work-stoppage on March 10. Teachers all over the state of Indiana were advised by the Indiana State Teachers Association to parti- cipate in a work-stoppage on this day. The purpose of the work-stoppage was to make Governor Whitcome aware of the financial needs in certain school districts of Indiana, including Prairie Heights. The school board informed the teachers that they would support them in a work-stoppage and encouraged them to participate. As a result the Indiana General Assembly appropriated more state aid to public schools in certain areas where otherwise the schools would not have opened next fall.

Services Unsung Heroes of the Bus, Broom and Bowl Often over-looked for the services they render are the cooks, custodians, and bus drivers. Beyond their regular round of duties, they are called upon to perform other tasks. The custodians prepare the gym for athletic events and assembly programs. The cooks serve many extra meals and banquets through-out the year. Bus drivers transport stu- dents to and from field trips and athletic events. Even if not always recognized for their services, they are vital to the functioning of the school system. Bus Drivers. FROST ROW: Lloyd German. Neal Hughes, Lee Halsey, Darrell Hughes, Stub Hayward.

Ask Mike Hayward, an expert in the field of locker science and specialist in the area ofjunk. Never before in history has there been such a wide variety of products available to the consumer as there is today in the United States of America. With this wealth of goods we were endowed in the Constitution of our country the freedom of choice. We may choose to purchase one brand or one product over another. We may choose to save our money or we may choose to spend it determining for ourselves how it should be spent. A generation ago our parents were plagued with the question of whether or not the family had sufficient funds to purchase a particular item. Today we are con- fronted with the question of which brand is best and which machine has the most buttons and is most convenient to operate. Producers have made available to the consumer such an array of products that his problems lie in choice rather than finances. What the consumer demands the producer will sup- ply. The difficult we do immediately. The impos- sible in a short time.

Pamela 12,11.11,50,60.6.1, 107.109,64.56 As the pathway of life stretches put in an unknown direc- tion towards an unknown destiny, man searches for the mean- ing of purposeful living. He finds life is a race with a rough track and distant goal, a pilgrimage, and he falters on the road through self-pity. Stones cut his feet and leave blood along the trail. In trying to face the realities of life, man is filled with fear and anxiety, no longer looking for the blooming of spring, but the seclusion of winter months. To their graduating son or daughter, the following parents send these words of wisdom from the song, Dream The Im- possible Dream. When pieces are missing from the puzzle of life, may these words inspire them as they reach for the un- reachable star. M M Donald Albright (Sandy) Mrs. Mildred Myers (Shirley) M M Ronald Atkins (Rhonda) M M Jack North (Jacque) M M Richard Binkley (Faye) M M Richard Pusti (Melanie) M M Wilford Dunkel (Barbara) M M Oscar Sanders (Linda) M M Willard Engle (Cindy) M M Vince Siders (Craig) M M Lloyd German (Terry) Mrs. Paul Thrush (Glen Kessler) M M Teddy Lepley Sr. (Penny) M M Robert Todd (Sara) Mrs. Delores McNett (Beverly) M M Claude Warble (Nada) To dream the impossible dream, To fight the unbeatable foe, To bear with unbearable sorrow, To run where the brave dare not go, To right the unrightable wrong, To be better far than you are, To try when your arms are too weary, To reach the unreachable star, This is my quest; to follow that star, No matter how hopeless, no matter how far, To be willing to give, When there ' s no more to give, To be willing to die So that honor and justice might live, And I know if I ' ll only be true To this glorious quest, That my heart will lie peaceful and calm When I ' m laid to my rest, And the world will be better for this, That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove with his last ounce of courage, ■ To reach the unreachable star.
