Lemley, H. Fugate Photography : Victor Studios, Gary, Ind. D. Metz, J. Carden Foreword . . . For many generations, philosophers and educators have discussed the elements of a “proper’’ education. While no absolute has been given, many ideas have broadened our concept of education. Frequently, new ideas of former centuries were considered radical when first presented. Time modified the reaction to these ideas, and today, many of these concepts have been incorporated into our present educational system. For example, early curriculums did not include athletics or clubs. Yet, theory, no matter how solid it seems, must be applied to in- dividuals — the students. As educational theory is put into practice, it becomes more than abstract thought. Cold abstraction becomes warm as it meets the personal aspect of education. One student can- not learn for another; one cannot think for another. The experiences of high school will also be recalled in an uniquely different way. Some students will remember a favorite teacher, a thrilling game, or a close group of friends as the most outstanding memory of their years at River Forest. A yearbook can only capture a portion of the school year. The Ingot staff hopes that it has recorded many of the high points of 1964-1965 as it presents this volume . . . Views of Education —THE STAFF Viewing River Forest Four Years Can Seem Capable instructors take the time to give that “extra” — personal interest and guidance. “Education should be as gradual as the moon rise, perceptible, not in progress, but in result.” — George Melville There’s always something special about the first day of school. Groups of friends walk through the halls and up the stairs quietly. Expectation is in the air. A lot of learning must be done. The Ingots settle down to the task of studying. 6 So Long and Yet So Short . . . ... As Twelve Years of Schooling While the plunge into education is sometimes unexpected . . . . . . friends, faculty, and family note our mental and physical growth as we strive to span the gulf of ignorance. As the senior year becomes a real- ity, our thoughts shift to new re- sponsibilities. 8 Come to an End Although familiar classroom situa- tions and personalities will become a part of memory . . . —Thomas Huxley 9 “The primary concern of American education today is ... to cultivate in the largest number of our future citizens an appreciation both of the responsibilities and the benefits which come to them because they are American and free.” — James Bryant Conant 10 Administrative Staff Mr. Clark Johnston, Hobart Township Trustee Directors of year. Mr. Edward B. Weisse has been the prin- cipal of River Forest since the school was erected during the 1957-1958 school Mr. Benjamin Zalas, assistant principal for two years, is also the high school’s athletic director. “Institutions are the lengthened shadows of men.” 12 Ingot Learning Mrs. Mildred Carlson holds the newly created post of teacher’s clerk. Mrs. Doris Bartz has been secretary to Mr. Weisse for two years. Serving the school as treasurer since its opening.

T .■HI W — vJ ' £ ’ ’ “A professor can never better distinguish himself in his work than by encouraging a clever student, for the true discoverers aie among them, as the comets amongst the stars.” — Carl Linnaeus Faculty Mr. Peter Sterling, a familiar face to all the past and present members of River Forest, schedules class programs for the current en- rollment of 980 students. Guiding Student Mrs. Wanita Bailey is Director of Pupil Personnel and Guidance Services for Hobart Township schools. Aiding high school students in choosing vocational schools, col- leges and other post-graduate employment, she works closely with business, trade schools, and universities. 18 Plans and Prospects Dean of Students, Mr. A1 Bromberg, checks the absentee- ism of students. His major job, however, is to handle discipline problems when they arise. He still manages to give encouragement to many students. In charge of student health is Miss Donna Kay Phillips. The guidance department always seems to be in a frenzy of activity as they service the student body. Mrs. Lillian Semerau handles the correspondence of the department and serves as receptionist for Mr. Sterling and Mrs. Bailey. Physical Fitness CYNTHIA R.

Classes open to Freshmen teach basic skills in sports such as basketball and volleyball. More advanced students who wish to gain teaching skills may enroll in Leadership P. E. which develops fundamental camp skills. This year the class learned how to canoe, keep bowling scores, and prepared themselves to be cabin leaders at the Townships annual sixth grade camp held at Indiana Dunes State Park. Other students become assistants in gym classes. Physical exercise is not the limit of the departments activity, for it also teaches about the body in the Sophomore Health and Safety classes.

Background for Mr. Koss is the art work of his own students. and Sound Creativity is essential to art and music. The Fine Arts department develops the creativity of each of its members. The result is a piece of beauty. One results in precision harmony of vocal and instrumental tone, the other develops artistic harmony. Members of the Township have attended the annual concerts and art shows held by this department. “Nature sings her exquisite song to the artist alone, her son and her master — her son in that he loves her, her master in that he knows her.” — J.

The business department tries to fulfill this need by giving practical training in office machines, clerical work, and providing work experience in the bookstore and main office to the commercial students. Another aspect of the business curriculum is the sales- manship and retailing classes which is directed to boys who plan to enter the professional business world.

GENE ADAMCZYK Russian I, II, III Russian Club Sponsor Indiana State College (Music Ed.) Northwestern University With Other Cultures This year the high school offered more language courses than many schools in Lake County, Lndiana. River Forest has a modern language lab- oratory in which students hear tape record- ings of dialogues spoken by native peoples. Spanish, French, German, and Russian are taught by the Audio-Lingual Method, commonly known as A-L M. Under this method, students listen to the sounds of the language — grasping sentence structure and intonation before they begin to read or write the language. This idea has grown in popu- larity because it is related to how we learn English — we hear the sounds for several months before the first “Da-da” is spoken. Besides learning the language,, the students make an effort to learn more about the cul- tures of the countries, through outside read- ing and trips.

Engaged in a cooperative program with Indiana University, the department has revised its literature program. Sophomores learn about the American heritage of writ- ing, while the Juniors study the works of English authors. The seniors get an overview of major writings by studying world literature. Another development in the English program is the teaching of the new grammar. This study enables the students to under- stand why and how our grammar is constructed. Students learn a new vocabulary as they study form and structure words. Speech and dramatics is gaining in importance at River Forest. This year’s speech contest was won by Mike Mullee. Dramatic presentations for the year were “Anne Frank” and “The Sound of Music.” JOHN R. HARSHA English • Drama (Tech, Ad. Wabash College B.A. THOMAS L.

It is the men who give the color of history to a place by their deeds there or by merely having lived there.” The studying of the social sciences is a required part of the curriculum. Academic Freshmen are encouraged to take World History I and II which explores Western and Non- Western Cultures. All juniors and Seniors grasp the basic concepts of American History and government in their study of U.S. history, civics, and economics. The newest addition to the department is the History sem- inar. Offered to accelerated students interested in history, this year’s course was in Latin American history. Current events of the twentieth century are discussed in modern problems and sociology classes. ■■ JAMES F. VIVIAN U.S. History World History Coe College University of Nebraska J.

Student Activities Junior Varsity Cheerleaders Leading the cheers for the Junior Varsity are: kneeling: G. Cooper, B. Mast, stand- ing: S. Disney, K. Zalas and center: D. Pritchett. Whether in the stands, or on the floor, Ingots yell out, “We want more.” “Let’s Really Hear It , Now!” Enthusiasm for Ingot athletics soared this year. One factor was the relentless and seemingly tireless persistence of the cheerleaders. More pep sessions were held and increased interest in away games made the chartering of fan buses possible. Miss Cynthia Sawyer, sponsor, aided the girls in perfecting new cheers. The newest additions to the cheerleading fel- lowship were the Freshmen cheerleaders who are Linda Ragon, Micky Sue Lee, Rosemary Kres- nocky, Barbara Irby, Sandy Millions, and Deb ora Ledger. Spirit, sparkle, and syncopation make a lively appearance each time we hear the phrase, Ready ho, let’s go.” Mr. Vann Dann, played by Dan Olkoski, is disturbed by the antics of Anne Frank as dramatized by Jacque Trump. In the picture below, the Franks, Vann Danns, Meip, and Mr. Frank celebrate the new year. In Spite of Everything , I Believe . . . Enduring Faith in “ Anne Frank” ?? The teen years are a time of searching for ideals, physical change, and emotional turbulence. It is also a time when maturity is developed. These conflicts are evident in the play “Anne Frank”. Set in an attic room in Amsterdam, Holland, immediately after the war, Mr. Frank returns to the place when he and seven other Dutch Jews sought refuge from possible capture by the Germans. By means of the flashback technique, he reviews inci- dents of his family’s life during the confinement. Anne Frank, a thirteen year old at the beginning of the play, is just beginning to seek her place in the world. With death a footstep and a knock away, ten- sion runs high. Yet, Anne changes from a self-center- ed child to a more mature person. THE CAST Mr Frank Jerry Carden Miep Lark Lile Mrs. Vann Dann . .

A torrent of emotion explodes as Anne’s glass of milk spills onto Mrs. Van Dann s prize possession — a fur coat. The dreaded sound — a knock — is heard. Mrs. Frank, Mr. Dussel, and the children wait the capture. The curtain clQses with the words of Mr. Frank, “For the past two years we have lived in fear, now we can live in hope”.

(38) Ingots Fight Varsity Makes Vine Jamboree Showing , Captures Homecoming Victory River Forest’s 1964 football season with two wins, one tie and seven losses was another year in which the Ingots were pitted against top Lake and Porter County Conference teams. Although heavier on the line than ever before, the bench was not deep. Mid season injuries plagued the squad. However the season was brightened by several high- lights. Before the regular season began, River Forest engaged in two short battles with Chesterton and Portage. More than .one voice acclaimed us the best team on the field as we defeated Portage and tied Chesterton. Another highlight was our 20-13 homecoming vic- tory over North Judson. Lonnie Minarich led Ingots on to victory. The Varsity’s other season win was over Walkerton 46-0. for Victory! 83 Senior Squad Members Long Team Backers Although the Ingot’s ’64 football record was none too envious, the seven seniors pictured here were al- ways in the fight. Had it not been for their stellar performances in aid of the Ingot cause, River Forest .vould have been winless for the second consecutive year. Many of our football seasons have been lean in terms of Ingot victories, yet the squads have always been eager to play. Some of these senior players have been interested in gridiron play for many years. A few have donned the River Forest uniform for six years. .

Varsity Players Have Steady Hands The Ingots opened the regular season with a thrilling overtime victory against arch rival, East Gary. The team was on top of the 08-65 score. Another key vic- tory came as the varsity topped the DeMotte Indians whose season record was 16-5. Other early season wins included Chesterton 71-55 and the hard fought game against Merriville 68-62. Ending the season with a 12-8 record, the Ingot scor- ing was led by the team’s veteran players, Dewey Lemley and Jerry Erny. In Gary sectional play, the Ingots drew the Lew Wal- lace Hornets who dealt the squad a nasty sting. In the heart rending match, the varsity was edged out by three points, 66-69. The Hornets played far better than their season record of 2-17. Behind each quarter, 20-16, 29- 30 and 46-51, the Ingots valiantly tried to spark a rally. Moving up from a 12 point deficit, the team assumed leadership at one point in the third quarter, 61-60. As the fourth period began, our team was down by five. Hopes of winning soared, but time and personal fouls worked against the team. With less than two minutes of play remaining, Mike Pritchett and Jerry Erny joined Jim Phillips — who was already on the bench because of fouls. The gun sounded as Dewey Lemley lofted a two pointer, but the other needed points could not be mustered. Two seniors paced the squad with their marksman- ship. Dewey Lemley canned 26 points to be high scorer for both teams. Nick Demo earned 20 tallies. 1965 Varsity Play RF Opp. 68 65 East Gary 60 66 Dyer Central 71 55 Chesterton 68 62 Merrillville 76 66 Hobart 72 18 DeMotte 62 67 Boone Grove 60 81 Morgan Twp.

Two Time Winner of Andrean Holiday Tourney Ingot sports fans will recall the sweet taste of vic- tory that was savored during the first Andrean Holi- day Tournament in 1962. The fellows outscored East Gary 81-69 and then the host team. Andrean 57-50. The team composed of Krist Knolcheff. Mike Lara, Joe Parker, Bob Topper, Wayne West. Lewis Sink, Leon Gumulauski, Wayne Bernoska. Lee Courtney, Ray Oldham, Warren Ratcliff, was coached by John Newton. Those familiar names and faces have been re- placed by a new crop of talented lads, but their de- sire has been the same — to capture victories for River Forest. Coach Wilbert Logan guided this year’s squad to victory in the holiday affair. In securing the victory, the players beat DeMotte and Andrean.

Now the North wind ceases, The warm South-west awakes, The heavens are out in fleeces, And earth’s green banner shakes.” — From “Tardy Spring” by George Meridith A llegro Tempo Quickens As Student Activities Even as the campus is covered by winter’s blanket, the students think of the activities of April and May. Plans are made for graduation, the Prom, and Charity week. The stirrings of activity begin with the start of the second semester in mid January. Students who have registered a high grade average are recognized as their names are listed on the Honor Roll list. Many seniors wait excitedly for notices of their ac- ceptances to college or other types of employment. The Juniors, meanwhile, increase their activity as plans for the Prom must be completed. Endeavor- ing to raise money for next year’s prom, the Sopho- mores hold a candy sale. Several speakers come to River Forest to expand the students scope of interest. From the Visiting Scientist program of our state universities, mathe- matics students heard Mr. Charles Nelson and the biology students enjoyed the opportunity of seeing a gila monster that belonged to Dr. Robert Cooper, Head of the Ball State Biological Department. Eng- lish students learned of the research done by Dr. Henrietta Mertz who hopes to prove the geographical authenticity of Homer’s Odyssey. Time moves faster, or so it seems. Days are filled with a certain sense of expectancy. Soon one class will have graduated and the other three classes will be one step closer to their own graduation. In the meantime, there is a wealth of educational and so- cial experience to be gained from the school s pro- gram of activities. 158 Point Toward the Arrival of May Planning the Prom. 159 Telling Ingots Their Military Obligation Key speakers were: L. to R., Sergeant Edward Niles, Air Force; Staff Sergeant Jerold Clark, Army; Peter Anderson.

This year the girls emerged victorious with a score of 38-35, despite the play of Miss Cynthia Sawyer who scored the bulk of the points. She scored a total of 25 points for the faculty. Yet the G.A.A. quintet was able to halt the advances of the faculty. Key scorers for the Allstars were Phyllis Holder, Jackie Rogers, Martha Targgart, and Dana Prit- chett. Creating enthusiasm for the play were several fellows who added humor to the group as cheerleaders. Cheerleaders for the faculty were: J. Erny, Sr.; J. Parkinson, Sr.; J. Carden, Sr. Cheerleaders for the Allstars were: G. Erny, Soph.; F. Lee, Jr.; C. Burton, Fresh.; L. Hartley, Fresh.; and N. Waluszko, Fresh.

Recognizing Student Achievement Twenty-six area high schools appointed members to the Lake County Youth Advisory Committee. The Youth Committee works with the Citizens Advisory Committee of the Indiana Youth Council. The student organization sent 12 delegates of its committee to attend the Indiana Youth Assembly held in Indianapolis on May 1, 2 of 1964. Linda Dem- bosky. River Forest representative, was among this group. The major achievement of the Lake County Youth group was the planning of a county-wide conference patterned after the state meeting. Five delegates It each school were chosen to discuss matters relating to “Youth and the Community.” Members discussed topics dealing with school, community, and religious life as well as youth’s relationship to government and the law. LAKE COUNTY YOUTH CONFERENCE DELEGATES Attending the daylong county- wide conference in October were Jackie Rogers, Martha Targgart, Marv Hutnik, Bill Mason, and Alice Allen. 164 PAGES TO THE STATE ASSEMBLY The Senior class traveled to Indianapolis to see the legislature in action. Pages for the general assembly of the Senate were those pictured here.

The codfish never cackles to tell you what she’s done. And so we scorn the codfish, while the humble hen we prize Which only goes to show you that it pays to advertise.” — Selected A dvertisements Wishing the Class of 1965 Continued Success and Every Good Wish . . . • Diamonds • Records • Watches • Radios • Jewelry • Class Rings IN DOWNTOWN GARY 624 BROADWAY MEMBER OF THE DIAMOND COUNCIL OF AMERICA Why not open a charge account? 168 Sincere Thanks to the Administration and Faculty of River Forest High School and Our Families for Making Our High School Education Possible THE CLASS OF ' 65 Don ' t Forget Seniors THE 1966 INGOT Why Not Order it Soon Like to Read?

Look to this Day Look to this day. For it is the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities of your existence: The glory of action, The bliss of gxowth, The splendor of beauty. For yesterday is hut a dream and tomorrow is only a vision; But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day. — Quoted in This Week Magazine 184
