N lllllllllllllllliiii � 111111111 , TABLE OF CONTENTS ATHICTIC ADVifiTISSMCINITi Silence is boring If total accomplishment gained from four years of high school depended solely upon attendance to class and individual contribution to that class, many Rogers students would consider high school a complete failure. Some students chose to develop individual attendance policies . . . attend school Monday, Wednesday, Friday . . . skip school Tuesday, Thursday. For this privileged few, off days became a blur of lies and excuses in an effort to avoid truant officers. Many students came to school physically, but couldn't seem to muster enough “umph to contribute much to the classroom situation aside from mere presence. The “Silent Majority” ranged from those who were simply quiet types, to those w ho held grudges against teachers or school, to those who hadn’t prepared for class the previous night. The causes were varied, but the effect the same — boring silence. The infamous Sandman made regular visits to many classes. The showing of filmstrips or movies provided the perfect setting for “catching a few winks.” However, it wasn’t always possible to be so discreet. Students slept behind books or purses, and the very bold (or very tired) simply placed their heads on their desks and drifted off to dreamland. The reasons for extreme fatigue were varied. Boredom probably reigned supreme, but the task of holding down a job, keeping up homework, and attending school regularly proved too much for some. With sleepers and mutes,” the task of making class interesting became increasingly difficult for some teachers. Some faculty members resigned themselves to the fact that “you can’t please everyone and continued to conduct class in their usual manner. However, there were teachers who refused to admit defeat and altered teaching styles to steer away from the conventional lecture (sometimes monotoned) and encouraged more class participation. Is this situation improving? That depends largely on the class (subject matter) and the instructor. Students should note, however, that in most situations the benefits attained from a certain project are directly proportional to individual input. 4 1 Every hour smokers congregate outside the door to have a quick cigarette between classes. 2 Michael Wright relaxes in the quiet atmosphere of the library. 3 Tom Oakley and Mike Manthey enjoy another exciting hour of lecture. 4 joe Olenjniczak and friend size up the dance floor. 5 Students are to be seen For centuries education has been basically the same, and it will probably remain the same for centuries to come. However, student reaction to education has changed drastically. Students of the past accepted instruction without doubts or questions. The few who dared to disagree were labeled rebels and cast out. Individuality was unheard-of because everyone knew that high school kids were too young to make their own decisions. By the time they progressed from students to human beings, they were programmed to be exactly what society wanted — silent, passive followers. The role of today’s students depends almost entirely upon the individual. He can choose his curriculum, classes (or lack of classes), teachers, clubs, friends and goals. Students are free to reason and question individual classes, curricula, and entire departments. Some even dared to reject the entire system. Many students are still silent, passive followers, but by choice, not necessity. More and more students are being heard as well as seen. 1 Students literally turn up the volume at a pep session. 2 Tim Werner remembered his hat, but he seems to have forgotten something else. 3 Raiderctte Tina Eskridge dances to the music of the Pep Band. 4 Let’s get together” sings Mary Hathoot to Steve Cox during a Minnesinger performance. 5 Farmers' Day found Rogers’ front lawn adorned with tractors and farmers. 7 8 Rogers copes with today The confining four walls of the school originally trapped the student for four years, hoping to pour into him enough knowledge and preparation to face the real world. Education has always been a primary goal in America. Although the days of reading, ’riting and 'rithmetic are in the distant past, the same principles of education remain. A student studies the courses offered him in hopes of preparing himself for a worthwhile future. In the past the entire educational system was based upon the future. While today’s student is still being prepared for tomorrow, he also learns to cope with today. The introduction of vocational classes created alternatives to putting everything off until tomorrow. The vocational student is taught trades that he can use today, now. The department includes shop classes like welding and electronics plus work- study programs like COE, ICT and CHO. In recent years, the basic four walls of the school have expanded to include advanced courses like Analytic Geometry, Calculus, Advanced Science and cultural courses like Black History. No longer is the scope so narrow that it includes only the American Way.” Other societies are considered as well. The expansion of the four walls is so drastic that they have almost disappeared altogether. Rogers High School is a prime example of the everhanging educational curricula. Within our four walls are five buildings, countless facilities and an enthusiasm that can’t be quenched. The four walls can still be confining, but they don’t need to be. The choice is up to the individual. 1 Lamb Chops assists Jesse Ewing in teaching his government class. 2 Bernard Lootens emcees as Administrators Frank Nowak.

Man, is this town boring!” These words are not uncommon among the youth of Michigan City. Although it was once a major midwestern city (even bigger than Chicago), Michigan City has become a ghost town. International Friendship Gardens and Washington Park, sites that were once national tourist attractions have become little more than memories. Businesses have moved out of town faster than new ones can move in. For two decades now, Hoosiers have witnessed a fluctuating population. It appeared that Michigan City was dying a slow, painful death. But, even the terminally ill make a last attempt to live, grasping any hope and clinging to it (sometimes successfully, sometimes not). America’s 200th birthday found Michigan City making that final attempt. The old Shoppers’ Fair complex was converted into a long-needed roller skating rink. It was opened to skaters in March, a few months after the opening of four Dunes Plaza Cinemas. Rumors of Washington Park’s reopening brightened hopes for an upturn in commerce and hopeful elimination of the “nothing-to-do’s.” Marquette Mall, Evergreen Shopping Center, Dunes Plaza and new restaurants like Mr. Steak and Long John Silver’s kept the city moving in a general southward direction. However, work on the North End didn’t stop. A new library was under construction on Beachway with hopes of completion by fall. Will the patient live? Only time will tell. 11 “There is no utopia, stated one Rogers teacher. At the time I couldn't comprehend the entire meaning of this phrase. Now I realize what he meant. Throughout the history of the world man has attempted again and again to create the perfect society. Perhaps the incident most familiar to Hoosiers is the attempt of Robert Owens at New “Don Harmony, Indiana. Owens had great plans for the perfection of the community but failed because of his inability to stay on the job long enough to see it well done.” Rogers High School now makes an attempt at perfection. Without determination and jx rseverence, Rogers could easily join New Harmony on the list of “utopian ’t drop the ball” failures.” In a recent article concerning school spirit at Rogers, Red Griggs stated, “You are carrying the ball. Don’t drop it!” These words might still apply to students at Rogers. There are problems with the system and obstacles to lx overcome, but we have the ball. What we do with it is our choice. 1 “Now just grip the bar,” instructs the Red Cross Volunteer as Gary Nichols represents Rogers High School for the Bloodmobile at St. John’s Church. 2 Cheerleaders Kim Kolodziejski and Debi Berkowitz pause between cheers at a football game at Ames Field. 3 Lunchtime breaks tin monotony for Bret Kiner and Solomon Williams. 4 Greg St. Arnaud and Pan Brown share a quick smoke before class. The more they stay the same Student life: what kids do outside of class and school organizations. Of course, each individual is different, but generally the life of today’s student away from school consists of games, dances, dating, and being with friends. But is this different from teenlife of the past — our parents, for instance? Granted, today’s high school students don’t look or sound much like those of previous years. Styles and slang have changed constantly since the creation of man, and it is safe to assume that they will continue to change. Attitudes are also different. Many students today live by the new morality.” They tend to question their parents’ materialistic society and are more critical of politics and government. Perhaps the most common plight among students is the constant need for money: money to see a movie, money for a dance, and money for an athletic event. Guys specifically are hard hit for cash. The search for part time jobs becomes inevitable. Students planning to support themselves through college especially need jobs. Many, particularly the underclassmen, do not hold jobs because their free time is filled with other activities. Athletic events play a major role in the student’s life. “Everyone” goes, either for social acceptance or for genuine interest in the sport. Dances after the games are heavily patronized partially because they are inexpensive. Movies are still popular, yet the cost per person has risen from $2.00 to $3.50, often discouraging the avid movie-goer. Fifty cents got our parents in, but fifty cents today won’t even buy a box of popcorn. Students today still enjoy going to the “passion pits” of yesterday (drive-in theaters). Although students haven’t changed much, their method of expressing beliefs are more open and direct than those of their parents. Students' ideas for “kicks” haven’t changed much, either. Whereas yesterday’s student used to swallow goldfish and cram into telephone booths, today’s student streaks” at social events. Neither have hobbies altered much with time. Although music has changed, album collections remain a student favorite — yesterday’s student, Frankie Avalon — today’s student, Elton John. Books, (classics, too), are still read by students of both generations. Most kids have a hobby or special interest that occupies spare time. Cars are one example; many students like tinkering with engines or just reading auto magazines and fantasizing about “dream cars.” But this is nothing new. People have been fascinated by cars since the turn of the century. Clothes and fashion trends resemble those of our parents; saddle shoes, scarves, bobbed haircuts, knee-length hems, and straight legged Levis were all a part of the “fashion fair” of yesterday, too. Our generation, like each before it, tends to consider itself unique in ideas and actions. Yet our interests haven’t changed greatly from our parents’ or even grandparents’. Each generation lives in its own era with its own pleasures and problems. As Talleyrand once observed, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Barbara Piper Catherine Slisher Rogers’ fifth annual “Bits V Pieces talent show, sponsored by Honor Society, developed a style of its own. Beginning with an excerpt from “Monty Python, the curtain opened to reveal Del Lonzo seated at a piano, appearing to be nude. This replaced the traditional lion’s roar carried over from El- ston’s Hams and Lambs. Bernard Lootens, equipped with mischievous puns and slightly aged jokes, served as master of ceremonies. Music played a vital role in “Bits 'n' Pieces. ” Sterling Cooper and Michael Cross on drums and key- board set the tempo for the show with their rhythmic soul sounds. Rock was balanced by serious music presented in John Warren's original composition, “Measuring Rod. ” Relics of the past were captured by Cindy Jingst and Ernie Ritchie while Eileen Brown sang recent hit song, Breaking up Is Hard to Do. On an amusing note were the singing sisters, Cheryl Mallory and Jean Putz, and three grateful country gals, Linda Antoszewski, Judy Kras- sow and Cecelia Rebac. Ventril- oquist Sheli Kepler along with her dummy” friend performed their ver- sion of Barry Manilow’s Could It Be Magic, accompanied by Mary Dillon. Dance came in all styles from the graceful, modern ballet of Sue Gonder and Holly Edinger to the powerful boogie of the “Disco Kids to the unique art of belly dancing displayed by Mary Crosley. Comedy skits entitled “Kinnygarden Days, ” Seniors’ Spirit Never Tires,’’ and Ajax Liquor Store” added satire to the show. Representing the faculty were Gene Alber and Roger’s top three administrators, alias “The Spanish Inquisition.” Dave Prvbylla wrapped up the show with a dramatic percussion solo. Following tradition, “Bits ‘n’ Pieces ” ended with cast members, accompanied by Rogers’ Pep Band marching and singing When the Saints Go Marching In.” Commenting on the success of the show, Mr. Lonzo stated, “It was a raucous, irreverent success. 1 Mv wife (Tracy Sloan) — I think I’ll keep her,” Ixtasts Gene Alber during a Geritol commercial. 2 On second thought ... 3 Chris Schultz chases kinnvgardeners Pam Harsha and Charlene Chalko. 4 Judy Krassow and Cecelia Rebac Thank God They're Country Gals. 5 When the Saints Go Marching In. 17 1 A symbolic ‘'Raider” holds his ground in a sophomore hall during Spirit Week. 2 HOMECOMING QUEEN CANDIDATES: Front row — Karen Hutchinson, April Har- ding, Jill Wetzel and Marsha Stark Second row — Shirley Jones.

The 24th was the Friday of Teachers’ Institute; therefore there was no school. The 30th was a Thursday, so all festivities would have ended early for school the next day. When the final deci- sion was made, Rogers 1975-76 Homecoming was October 24, 1975. Enter Student Senate. The en- tire responsibility of Homecoming, including Spirit Week, pep sessions, flower ordering, candidate and queen selection was placed in the lap of one student organizing group. This group along with the volunteer help of a few members of the faculty executed homecoming and related activities. Organization is the key to any successful homecoming. For the first time in four years a unified method of candidate selection, noti- fication and flower ordering was tried. This included the setting of deadlines by Senate and the prompt meeting of these deadlines by the clubs. The festivities for the short Spirit Week began Sunday night with a student poster party. The tan and brown walls were turned into murals with splashes of blue and gold urg- ing the Raiders on to victory and proclaiming the Class of ’76, ’77, or '78 to be the most spirited class of all. Student halls were judged by members of the community. Even some of the teachers got a touch of “Raider Fever.” The creativity of members of the English, Business and Math Departments was expressed on the doors of the department cub- icles. The class steering committees decided what spirit-raising activ- ities would take place on Monday. For seniors it was Red, White and Blue Day; for juniors. Clash and Hat Day; and for sophomores, Backwards Day. Tuesday was Farmer Day and Wednesday Blue and Gold Day for all three classes. Tallies of how many students dressed up each day were kept in sophomore English, junior U.S. History, and senior Government classes. The steering committees were also responsible for writing or hav- ing members of their class write a “Raider Poem.” These were judged by a member of the English Department. The sexiest event during Spirit Week was the “Legs Contest. Photo- graphs of the legs of nine members of the football team were selected and put on display. Students and faculty voted (5 t per vote) for the legs of their choice throughout the week. Results from these contests — hall decorations, “Raider Poem and dress-up participation — went toward deciding which class would receive the Spirit Stick. After averaging the results of the contests with how loud each class yelled at the pep session, the Senior Class was awarded the Spirit Stick. Spirit festivities did't end simply because school did. Thursday evening Raider fans marched from Park Shop to Ames Field and participated in a short pep session there. All the effort was worthwhile as enough spirit was generated to defeat Chesterton 14 to 12. During half time senior Pam Calloway was crowned 1975-76 Homecoming Queen. 19 20 CAST Hours and hours of work go into any theatrical production, and Pajama Came was no exception. Two days a week while most students were on the bus, eating breakfast or still slumbering in bed, cast members and production workers were at school. The rest of the week they remained after school to practice. In addition, they devoted most Saturdays for nine weeks to rehearsals. During the final week of practice the performers practically lived at school, attending classes during the day and rehearsing until ten or eleven at night. Those weeks of hard work were reflected in the two performances of Pajama Game. Mr. Troyer commented, “It was a super show with a lot of action — perhaps the best we’ve ever done, especially in the combination of music and theatre.” Hines Ernie Ritchie Prez Mike Marriot Joe Jay Miller Mr. Hasler ....

Work. The two words are very closely associated; one denotes the other. But for two words that are so closely related, they aroused opposite feelings in students. One was greeted with a greedy smile and the other with a mournful groan. But for other students work was an enjoyable experience. The jobs they held as dental assistants, nurses’ aids, draftsmen and mechanics were training for future careers. Most students with these types of jobs participated in CHO, ICT and COE programs to attain their positions. Rogers students, taking their first steps into the business world, had shaky knees and dry mouths during their interviews. Others were calm and cool, unphased by the endless questions. A few were just bored with the whole process. If Penneys didn't need them. Sears was only a few steps away. Local restaurants and fast food” places hired the most high school students. When going out to eat at Ponderosa, McDonalds or any number of other restaurants, it was not unusual to see a familiar face cheerfully taking orders or cleaning up. But no matter what the job was, it meant money. And money meant work. 1 To insure cleanliness at Dr Pohlman’s clinic.

Miraculously, people who had been afflicted with eye problems for years appeared to have regained 20-20 vision overnight. But a deep look into Jill Wetzel’s eyes revealed he explanation — contact lenses! Sweaters top off Sweaters — nearly everyone wore them, but the styles were so diverse that each was different. Students wore striped, solid, pullover and letter sweaters; sweaters with short sleeves, collars, pockets, belts, hoods, pictures, V-necks, HMWiFSCOla Y in ? 'wqs------ 26 the styles crew necks, turtlenecks, button and zip fronts. Part of the craze was due to fashion, but many students found sweaters essential in chilly classrooms. Feet finally find fashions Times change, and so does footwear. In the past socks of anything but solid colors were unheard of. However, fashionable feet strolling the halls of Rogers High in 1976 were adorned with striped, argyle, print and bicentennial socks. When the temperature dipped, socks with toes were popular. No longer were they a dull part of everyone's wardrobe or just something to put on before the shoes. The brighter, more original the sock, the better. Citizens band together “It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June in a Kenworth pulling logs. Cabover Pete had a reefer on and a jimmy hauling hogs.” These familiar words of C. W. McCall’s song, Convoy,” triggered the Citizen’s Band radio rage. In past years the Federal Communication Commission received approximately 40,000 license applications per month. In late 1975 the average skyrocketed to about 300,000 each month. In 1976 CB antennaes have continued to spring up around the country. The Kalso Earth shoe and its countless copies became Rogers most popular foot fashion. Characterized by a negative heel, the Earth shoe was designed to be a more natural and comfortable style of footwear. Most students, though, bought lower- priced imitations, finding that they could not afford the original shoe on their limited budgets. But a few felt that these reproductions were unacceptable and would not settle for anything but the genuine Earth shoe, despite its forbidding price. The mood ring was a colorful way to subconsciously reveal inner moods and emotions. According to the body’s heat energy, the ring displayed various colors, each representing a different mood. Directions for interpreting the colors were as follows: Black — tense, harassed Amber — nervous, emotions mixed Rust — strained Green — interested Blue green — relaxed Blue — calm Dark blue — very happy Violet — the ultimate, love, passion, romance Though mood rings will probably never replace lie detectors or truth serum, they proved to some students to be entertaining. 27 “In a conversation with a young Colombian girl 1 was asked which part of Colombia I was from. When 1 told her I was from the States, she asked me if 1 have ever been to the moon. This happened shortly after a well- publicized NASA mission, explained Chuck Baldwin. Chuck resided in Cali, Colombia, for three months last summer. His trip was sponsored by International Fellowship, and Spanish Club contributed one hundred dollars. When asked about the difference in countries, Chuck stated, They have a much slower lifestyle; for instance, my ‘father' worked from 8 a m. until 1 p.m., then came home for a big supper. After supper he went back for a couple more hours. He also said. “I enjoyed the slow and friendly ways of the populated town. The crime rate was very high. They’d think you were crazy if you didn’t have barred windows.’’ Chuck’s activities included touring the country, horseback riding, and socializing in the pop- ular discotheques. 1 In native apparel Chuck Baidu in brings a bit of South America to Michigan City 2 Pam Calloway' reflects on her recent visit to Italy. 3 A native of Colombia, Guillermo Borrero thinks of his homeland. Students exchange lifestyles 1 found it strange that they didn’t solo date. Everyone always went out together,” explained Pam Calloway about her Italian peers. Pam, who lived within a typical Italian household, added, There is a definite generation gap in most families; for instance, the girls ususally don’t leave the house until marriage, and if they attend school, they must commute by train. The trip was sponsored by the American Field Service, which fur- nished half of the expense. After 26 hours of plane and train traveling, Pam, not speaking Italian, encountered a language barrier. This didn’t curtail her activities. In the afternoons, she went with friends to see shows, go bowling, eat ice cream and watch the ever-popular sport Fussball (soccer). During the second month of her visit, Pam changed from family living to group living. Pam and the other 46 AFS students were free to attend lectures. These lectures were unique,” Pam noted, because the lecturers were often communists or members from leftist groups. It occurred to me then that the “American way” may not be the best for everyone.” After her two month visit to Italy, Pam reflected, My ex- periences with the Italian people were interesting, enlightening and exciting.” Dear Rogers, I’m happy to have been a part of this school because you have been very nice to me. 1 remember when I got here last September, of course I knew a little English, but it was hard for me to understand ex'eryone. As a matter of fact, there were a lot of you that helped me in daily life. The things I will remember most about this school are the dances and games. Between Rogers and the school in my country there is quite a dif- ference because at Rogers you may choose the subjects you like but in my country you can’t; you have to take the school program. We have our own classrooms and the teachers move from one to the other. I think it has been quite an experience for me to learn the dif- ferent customs and life systems of the American people.” Guillermo Borrero Rogers Bowl strikes again “The XYZ Affair was between the United States and what country?’’ . . . “Who was the first president to be appointed vice-president?’’ . . . “Who is known as the Father of the Con- stitution?” . . . “Name the volcano that buried Pompeii.” These were just a few of the questions asked in the 1976 Rogers’ Bowl. The duels began promptly at 9:20, and each team took its place at the table hoping that nervous button-fingers and silly mistakes wouldn’t do them in. As more teams were eliminated, tension increased. The final round brought Mr. Alber’s team of Pete Franklin, Don Zahrn, and Mario Obejas to match wits a- gainst Mr. Lenard’s team of Bob Lisak, Rich Harding, and Sylvia DePriest and to capture the 1976 Rogers’ Bowl. 1 Nancy Halfacre keeps the finalist scores as anx- ious team members await the next question 2 While Mario Obejas and Pete Franklin concen- trate on a hard question Don Zahrn signals to answer. 29 Twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsona sesameseedbun, or “Scrumpdillyishus, plus Finger Lick- in’ Good ” are just a few of the enticing gimmicks used by local and national restaurant operators. Catering to a variety of taste buds, Michigan City has a wide array of eating places, ranging from the fast foods chains to the formal restaurants. Most restaurants like to be regarded as “the family place,” yet during after-school hours and week- ends, large numbers of teenagers congregated, temporarily throwing the restaurant into a frenzy, yet leaving huge profits. Many have described teen- agers, especially the males, as having bottomless pits for stomachs. This, how- ever, is not always true, as a large majority of teenagers bus food as a means to socialize. In Michigan City var- ious foods places have become the center of student activi- ties, especially after athletic- events. Clearly Mich- igan City does not lack eat- ing places, and young and old alike have it their way in food prefer- ence. es i 31 1 The crowd at Marquette Theater anticipates the horrors of the Great White Shark. 2 Steve Kincaid improves” his mind with the National Lampoon. •3 James Whitmore “gives 'em hell” as he portrays Harry Truman. 4 Disc Record Store displays the latest hit rock albums. 5 Concerts highlight an otherwise ordinary week- end 32 k That’s entertainment Free time — the few precious evenings off work when parents can t think of any more chores and home- work is either finished or forgotten — is a priceless quantity. How did students use the time? One of the most common pastimes was listening to music. The sources varied: tapes, records or radio, depending on the sound system the student could afford. When the budget allowed, they occasionally journeyed to Chicago for concerts. TV was another pastime, and everyone had his favorite show. Tastes ranged from the zaniness of “Monty Python” to the drama of “Rich Man, Poor Man.” From 10:00-10:30 each weeknight, “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” addicts refused to be disturbed. And there was always time for “Happy Days,” “Welcome Back, Kotter.” and “Good Times. Books and magazines were other diversions. Again, tastes differed, but some of the most popular books were Heller Skelter, Alive, and the Kurt Vonnegut novels. Magazines were available to satisfy any interest from cars to fashion. Humor magazines, such as the National Lampoon, were probably the favorites. Movies were one of the main sources of entertainment, especially since the opening of the four cinemas in the Dunes Plaza. Bargain matinees and reduced price tickets available at the Student Store made the theaters even more inviting. Some of the more popular movies of the year were One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Dog Day Afternoon, and Barry Lyndon. Jaws was by far the most talked-about, publicized movie of the year. The film remained in Michigan City for months, and some watched the shark s attacks two, three, even four times. Found and lost: tradition and pride CLAP, CLAP, CLAP .. . “Yeah!!!” “And here’s the person who made this assembly possible: a member of your own school ...” “Booooo!!!” Hey, what’s going on? It’s unbelievable that 1700 students just gave a standing ovation to the Army Band and turned to boo a mem- ber of their own school. This actual incident is, in itself, the reason for the cancellation of many activities at Rogers. Remember the good old days when we had the Bazaarnival and Semi- formal? Don’t forget the blast everyone got out of Bastille Day. All these are past, and not far from extinction are those dwindling assemblies and pep sessions. Is it possible for a school as young as Rogers to have tra- ditions? Can these so-called traditions be broken? Does the blame go to anyone in particular? Yes, yes and yes. Rogers is only five years old, but in that five years she has earned academic, vocational and athletic recognition on many levels. The first student body chose not to blueprint the school after others in the area, but rather create its own school with new ideas. Out dated policies became obsolete; bells were abolished and daily homerooms evacuated. New traditions were built — proud, unique traditions belonging only to Rogers. But as the 1975-76 school year unwound, many of these traditions died while others were endangered. The blame falls on many. Apathetic students, nine-to-four teachers and indecisive administra- tors have sunk school spirit. Rogers High School lacks pride; pride in traditions; pride in accomplishments; pride in Rogers.

While Junior Class sponsors Ms. Eudd, Mrs. Rich- ardson. and Mr. Stark were more con- cerned with the “quality of the work done” than “the quantity of helpers. the number of volunteers working after school and on weekends was im- pressive. An average of approxiamately 12 juniors worked on the construction on week nights, while on weekends as many as 35 helpers turned out, offering what help they could. “At times there were more kids than there were jobs for them to do, commented Mr. Stark. Although the theme “Adventures in Wonderland” was chosen early, the juniors were indicisive in the actual layout. Nevertheless, scenes of wooded areas, lush forests, March of the Cards, the King and Queen of Hearts’ courtroom, and the Pool of Tears were captured on murals. In addition, a games area and a large rabbit hole (tunnel) were constructed, contributing special effects in Alice’s journey through Wonderland. Many believe the surprising turnout was due to a posted schedule of work days located on the library window. Students were more prone to see it than hear the announcements over the P.A. Regardless of other possible factors, the juniors tri- umphed in attracting helpers for prom construction. 1 While adding the final touches.

A Wonderland “Down, Down, Down. Would the fall never end?” wondered Alice. So felt the 1976 prom-goers as they entered that same dark rabbit hole to discover the beauties of Wonder- land. The Junior Class brought alive the mysteries of Lewis Carroll’s classic novel from the Queen of Hearts to the little Door Mouse. The P.M.’s provided music for Alice and her friends, and there was room for everyone at the Mad Hatter’s prom table. The gameroom gave guests a chance to test their skills and win the overstuffed tigers, teddies and turtles. Those who ventured into Wonder- land found sophomores adorned in colorful costumes. Among the special guests were Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Door Mouse, the Mock Turtle and Alice herself. Junior Class Sponsors Mattie Richardson and John Stark were honored at intermission. Following the Prom, couples paraded to “The Year 2076.” There they were greeted by senior parents, who organized the Post Prom, and by the moon creature SERGOR. Reborn provided the entertainment for that portion of the evening. 39 I What a blast! The bell rang. Classroom activities abruptly came to a halt, and students filled the halls heading toward the nearest exit. Once outside the school, they socialized and mingleed, chatting and laughing with friends, lighting up cigarettes, tossing around a volleyball. This period of relaxation and recreation usually lasted from ten to twenty minutes. No, it was not recess time, but the threat of a bomb explosion which caused the student body to act in such a carefree manner. Judging by the prevailing casual atmosphere, most students and faculty members did not realize the seriousness and potential danger of bomb threat. Although the administration preferred to avoid the situation rather than discuss it, most were aware that Rogers received its share of bomb scares. The exact number administrators had reason to believe the threat presented a serious danger, the school was then evacuated, and police and fire units were called. Evacuation was usually a last resort since experts studying bomb threats theorized the location of most bombs to l e near an exit. Therefore, more people could be injured during an evacuation in the event that an explosion did occur near an exit. No intimidators were ever caught. No bombs were ever detected. According to Indian state law (Statute Code No. 1C 35-30-9-2) any person found guilty of supplying false information about a bomb or threatening an explosion in a private or public facility was liable for a one to five year imprisonment along with a was not known, but it was about possible $1000 fine. Administrators average for any school year. Most planned to file a complaint of the threats were phoned to the against any sus[ ect, providing school’s main office while some were they had sufficient evidence. received at either a local fire station or the police headquarters. Calls came from both males rind females, and some supplied specifics such as the location of the supposed bomb and the time of explosion. When the administration became aware of the situation, the custodial staff was alerted, and a routine search of the school began with classes still in progress. While the search continued, the school superintendent anti police liaison officer were notified. If Soon the signal was given to enter the school again. The search of the entire complex, including each locker, had taken about .fifteen minutes. Students strolled back into the school, and classes resumed where they had been interrupted. No one appeared concerned about the episode. Nothing more was said. But to many, bomb threats were significant events; they provideri refreshing breaks to an otherwise uneventful school dav.

Though abundant in humor and slapstick comedy, the 1976 spring play, “Scapino!”, was marked by- shortages. Of a cast of fourteen, ten, including all the leads, were male. But not enough aspiring actors showed up at auditions to fill those roles. Only four minor parts were female. Since twenty girls tried out, Mr. Jones utilized the extra talent by casting some in male roles. During the performances a close look revealed that five of the men on stage were really actresses. The two performances went smoothly, but only a meager total of 350 people came to see them. Many of the 350 were brothers, sisters, and parents; this means less than one-fifth of the school came to see the play. Mr. Jones, director, commented, “It went real well, but it s too bad more people didn’t come to see it. Ottavio ....

Thus at one of the oldest universities in America it is suggested that service is as important as scholarship. Out- standing members of the Class of 1976 made this statement a reality. Ser- vice to school and community became an active part of the schedules of many academically inclined students. Every member of the Top Ten was in- volved in from three to fourteen extra-curricular activities. Many honors and awards were geared toward motivating the desire to become involved. Boys’ and Girls’ State delegates spent a week learn- ing more about state government, how it works and hopefully were inspired to become involved in the political process. One of two Indiana representa- tives at the U.S. Senate Youth Pro- gram was from Rogers High School. This trip, which included a $1500 scholarship, was also designed to give students an opportunity to learn more about the government. Rogers High School pro- duced two National Merit Finalists and two commended scholars. Two members of the class were invited to be in Who s Who Among American High School Students, one in The Society of Distinguished American High School Students, and one student re- ceived the honor of being a Distin- guished Scholar. Two D.A.R. award winners and a Betty Crocker award winner were also among those students who re- ceived recognition for their out- standing achievements. 44 1 Boys’ and Girls’ State delegates.

Readin’, 'Ritin’, Rith- metic and marchin’ to the beat of a hickory stick.” This year at Rogers the hickory stick beat out a pattern for a barrage of new rules and regulations as an attempt to reach a higher level of organization and behavior was made. Student attitudes toward new policies ranged from anger and disgust to welcoming the new changes as long-needed adjustments. Frequently the front doors to the school building weren't unlocked until 9:00. This meant students who arrived early for meetings or other school work either had to enter the building through the teachers’ doors or through the rear door which were unlocked early primarily for athletic practices. Gaining entrance to the com- plex was only half the battle. Custodians, under administrative instruction, weren’t to let any stu- dent without a pass continue through the building. This proved a great inconvenience for most clubs and their sponsors. Either club members had to be located and given a pass before the meeting, or a sponsor had to stand at the door and act as a hall monitor. Cafeteria doors were locked five minutes after each lunch hour began. Purpose: to keep those students who were to be at lunch in the cafeteria and out of halls. Teachers (FRI agents, hall patrols) guarded halls, providing needed encouragement” to those who dared loiter. This new rule proved an obstacle for those who used lunch periods to make up class work or to pursue extra” extra- curricular activities. Visits to the nurse’s office, Student Store or personal lockers, no matter how ur- gently needed, were actively dis- couraged. I.D.'s, once used only to gain admittance to school dances, found a new purpose. Upon request stu- dents had to submit their names to any inquiring teacher. If the teacher felt the true name was not given, the I.D. had to be shown. Failure to do so resulted in parent rein- statement. Suspension was also war- ranted by skipping study hall. This rule said nothing about any other class, only study hall, which is possibly the most misnamed class of all. The red tape continued. Passes became survival kits. One needed a pass to be in the halls, to go see the nurse, to go to the library, to go to another classroom, to leave school, and to be re-admitted to class. With all the new rules and regulations, attending school with- out breaking a single rule became in- creasingly difficult. This multitude of rules excluded tardy and absentee policies developed by many individual teachers. Looking over the disciplinary rules and policies of Rogers, one might mistake this public school for a correctional institution rather than an educa- tional one. The ultimate question is “WHY? Why, since the opening of the Rogers complex, in 1971, have students en- joyed a reasonable amount of liberty and responsibility and are suddenly forced to walk a chalk line? Pos- sibly the answer lies in the sum to- tal of a number of isolated incidents which occurred last year. Incidents — including sit-ins and the destruc- tions of copies of the Catalyst bv a group of students before they could be delivered — could have been a fac- tor in the decision to tighten up. As the 1975-76 school year pro- gressed, enforcement of the new pol- icies became increasingly lax. With less strict enforcement tensions were eased among all those attending Rogers. Perhaps, as many students felt, these new policies were needed ad- justments. However, human beings (students too) tend to act as they are treated. Pamela S. Calloway tuncIn on THE OTHER SI HE I have been asked to comment upon the area of discipline and why I have enacted certain policies that some students feel are strict. Let’s explore this area of dis- cipline from several points of view: 1 Discipline begins with the individual person. Those of you who discipine your- selves are normally not sub- ject to discipline by others. If you respect yourself, it normally follows that you will respect the rights of others. A student who dis- rupts a classroom infringes upon the rights of others who are in that classroom for the purpose of obtaining their right to an education. Consequently, that student needs to be disciplined. 2 It is quite obvious that no matter what game or sport we participate in, wherever we work, wherever we drive, wherever we go to school, or wherever we live, there are rules and regulations that govern our actions concern- ing these things. If we break the rules, we are pun- ished in some way, and that goes way back to early civilization. Consequently, if school rules governing truancy, tardiness, smoking, fighting, stealing, destruc- tion, of property, improper driving and a host of other problems are violated,' then those who violate them are liable for their action and must be disciplined. 3 In the past we have had rules and regulations. How- ever, in the future we will have ACT (Action Coordinating Teams) FOR DISCIPLINE. This will involve every school in the Michigan City Area School Corporation with each school developing its own program for discipline. We have al- ready been involved in this at Rogers with participation by student, faculty and par- ent committees. The basic idea in this kind of program is group involvement in dev- eloping our policy and they consistency in its enforce- ment. The ideal thing here is communication to you so that there is no question about individual clasroom policies and school policies. You will know what is ex- pected of you in the class- room as well as in school in general, and you will be held totally accountable if you break the rules. 4 If I have developed pol- icies which some have deter- mined to be strict, it is because I see the total pic- ture of discipline from my position as assistant prin- cipal. I don’t get any satisfaction out of pun- ishing students who violate the rules, out of going after someone who refuses to come to the office, or out of having to get parents involved. My frustration grows because handling dis- cipline problems takes my time away from more signif- icant tasks of school lead- ership. I’m sure that those who complain of my “strict” policies are not necessarily those who follow the rules, exhibit leadership in the school, discipline themselves and consequently do what they are supposed to do be- cause it’s right. 5 Finally, I’ll be the first to admit that I, too, have made mistakes. No- body’s perfect. You see, in my position I have to try my best to see that you are treated fairly and that you teachers are treated fairly. I am sure that in some cases, both students and teachers have felt that I should have made some other decision. It is dif- ficult to practice consis- tency and be humane at the same time although we keep trying. I don’t look upon any student as not having worth as an individual, and I, at least, hope I have con- veyed this to you this year. To those of you who have ventured into my office this year for some kind of disc- ipline problem, I hope I have helped in some way for you to become more aware of yourself as a person, and hopefully a better school citizen. “Strict discipline?” Only for those who need it. Verne Ash Assistant Principal Under the hood TUNC In 1900 there was one autombile for every eighteen thousand people in the United States. Since then the ratio has increased to one for every five. Most of today’s students ac- quire a driver’s license during or before their junior year in high school. Whether it belongs to a parent, friend or the student him- self, nearly all have access to a car. In recent years the car has become a hobby for some students. Labeled as “motorheads” by peers, their spare time is spent purchasing and or attaching the accessories needed to have a “bad” car. These students most often give girls as the reason for having a car. “They love a nice car” . .. “If you got a Prix with an eight-track, you got yourself a babe! Rogers' parking lot has pro- vided a show case for students’ cars and driving abilities. An aerial view of the lot would reveal numerous black tire marks from early- morning competition. The major threat to the motor- heads’ way of life is not competi- tion with other car owners but the administration. While not all of these students drive poorly, those who do are widely deplored. The word “motorhead” has almost become synonymous with reckless driving. Mr. Nowak described the situation as “atrocious” and confided that reckless driving would end as soon as a policeman is placed on regular duty in the parking lot. Ross Baker Nancy Halfacre 1 Motorheads take pride in their engines and give them the best of care. 2 Burning rubber is still a popular pastime. This Chevy truck does a better than average job. itii A group of the early morning competitors’ idles their engines long enough to pose for a photo behind Poison Ivy.” Cars have become a popular emblem for cloth- ing and posters: “Heavy Chevy and Killer Vettes” are two of the more popular slogans. It could never happen to us The lights flickered, windows rattled and hail pounded the building. Mr. Nowak’s voice came over the intercom, cautioning students to stay where they were if the lights should go out. Minutes later he spoke again, this time warning that emergency conditions existed and the safest place to be was a restroom. For some, the next minutes seemed more like hours as students apprehensively looked around at friends and classmates crammed in the restroom and wondered if the walls were about to collapse. Others just looked upon the time as a break from class, an escape from a test or lecture. The minutes flew by while they talked and laughed. After twenty minutes Mr. Nowak announced that the storm had passed and it was safe to return to class. The response was a mixture of mournful groans and sighs of relief. As reports of damage and injury reached the school, the unfortunate students affected were called to the office. Others waited anxiously until after school to find out whether or not their homes were damaged. The tornado caused approximately $1,000,000 damage within minutes. Numerous power lines were downed, windows were smashed, roofs were blown off, the trees were uprooted, some crashing into houses. All in all, an estimated 35 houses were damaged or demolished by the storm, a few, the homes of Rogers students. Fortunately, the tornado missed the Rogers High complex, but only by a narrow margin of 'h mile. Most can be thankful because the storm left them unharmed. But some were devastated; left with only a memory never to be forgotten. 55 We’re City, too! “Is there anybody here from City? — Yes! Are we weak? — No! Are we strong? — Yes! Let’s hear that Devil roar! — Devil roar? What about the Raiders? Don't they roar, too? Or is the Raider roar a mere meow in contrast with the city-wide cry of Devil support? Is there room in this town of 19.1 square miles and over 39,000 people for two public high schools — especially when until 1971 Elston was the sole high school in the Michigan City Area School Corporation? If there is any doubt, it certainly isn’t because Michigan City Rogers hasn’t proved that it can survive without “the big red machine.” On the original blueprint the two high schools were to co-exist, walk hand-in-hand, side-by-side as two brothers. In reality, however, a strong sense of rivalry has forced its way between the “inseparable brothers.” The “healthy” competition between the schools has reached the point of ridicule. It is ironic, however, that this ridiculous “bloodlust exists only at sports events. All those “insignificant areas” like blood-doning, scholarship drives, fund-raising programs, and academic contests go seemingly unchallenged. It becomes apparent that each school has the ability to achieve set goals. The difference is obviously in priorities. Each year the whirlwind of Hoosier Hysteria sweeps many off their feet and into basketball gymnasiums across the state. Result: brains become obsessed with BASKETBALL! In view of the basketball teams Elston has produced, it is easy to understand why so many find the “basketball and only basketball” theory easy to adopt. After all, don’t we tend to enjoy that at which we are successful? Occasionally the brothers show signs of support and concern for each other: after losing to the Raiders in a close sectional basketball game, an Elston player stood outside the Raiders’ locker room, congratulating the emerging players. The following evening, Elston basketball coach Doug Adams appeared at the championship sectional game showing support for the Raiders, dressed in Rogers’ traditional blue and gold. In previous years, the Rogers Horticulture Department has prepared huge floral arrangements as good luck pieces for the regional-bound Devils. Though these incidents were often isolated, they did occur — suggesting brotherhood. However, believe it or not, life continues even after the close of basketball season. It is at this time that the community dares to wonder what the “country bumpkins have been up to. Statistics show that on the average, for every one Elston blood donor, there are eight matching pints from Rogers. When compared, total monies collected during the scholarship drive put older brother Elston in a bad light. During the 1974-75 school year, Rogers collected S1500 to contribute to the scholarship fund compared to $200 collected by Elston students (however, Elston donated money from The Squeeze fund to the scholarship program, also). Raiders also made fine showings at academic contests. At the second annual Rogers math contest, Rogers students collected six trophies compared to Elston’s three. Throughout Rogers’ five year existence, the Raiders have continuously been looked upon as “the other school while Michigan City Elston remains City. Actions by Rogers faculty and students contradict this subordinate position. Although Rogers is the “baby brother,” we have earned the family name; WE RE CITY, TOO! Pamela S.

C 5 « 4-� ?- a a •F J-l s In this era of investigation and scandal, the Bicentennial was a welcome change. Interested people, tired of the four-year-old Watergate proceedings, planned for our nation’s birthday celebration. America's heartstring was pulled, and nationalism rose as more people became involved. As James Monroe proclaimed at the First Inaugural Address on March 4, 1817, National honor is national property of the highest value.” This was apparent .is the Bicentennial evolved. As the overseer of Bicentennial planning, the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration (ARBA), headed by John Warner, sought guidelines by which the activities could be channeled. Three major themes were selected: Heritage 76,” “Festival U.S.A.,” and Horizons 76.” “Heritage ’76” observed our first two hundred years of development. The lasting heritage of getting things done, of change, and of traditions, carried the nation into its third century. Heritage ’76” was aimed at capturing the patriotic spirit and ideas of the Revolution to preserve them in modern Americans. As a perpetual process of renewal, change, and improvement, the American Revolution stood for more than a chapter in history. It maintained that political institutions, governmental forms and social agencies must reflect the times and adapt to changing needs. The American Revolution was a continuing Revolution and the “pursuit of happiness a continuing quest. The second theme selected was “Festival IT 8 A ” which hocafno the heart of the celebration because it stirred the spirit of hospitality and comraderie. Americans and foreigners, regardless of race, creed, or color, shared experiences, ideas and pride in their own ancestry and traditions. American Indians took advantage of the Bicentennial to promote a greater understanding of the plights and rights of their tribes. They planned such projects as a reservationwide transportation system, the building of schools, and programs to preserve tribal customs. Canada arranged a two week festival to honor the Bicentennial with Canada’s best performing artists. Illinois’ ethnic involvement included restoration projects and the publishing V'l X of ethnic histories. Invitations were sent to the Ballet Folklore of Mexico, a Denmark gymnastics team, and the Symphony Orchestra of Rome, Italy, to perform during a week-long festival. “Horizons ’76” was the third guideline chosen. Future-oriented “Horizons ’76” included the President’s call for ”... this to be the occasion for looking ahead, for defining and dedicating ourselves to our common purposes, and for speeding the accomplishment of specific local projects responsive to our changing national priorities.” The president emphasized the need for a central and unifying theme for the Bicentennial based on improving the quality of life. It was hoped that each individual would work to make his own life better so that after the celebration there would be more than just memories, but tangible achievements, a part of life now and in the future. These Bicentennial activities were supported by revenue from private contributions and the sale of commemorative gold, silver and bronze medals ranging from five dollars to four thousand. f Leafing through recent magazines of newspaper, ppe would find hoards snr • P-N of Bicentennial promotions that offer ini the consumer a once-in- a-life-time est G G 0� opportunity to buy that special something in remembrance of our nation’s 200th birthday.

Of course, people probably should purchase some momento of this unique occasion, but what can be bought without getting the good ole American rip-off?

The Japanese are now producing, in large quantities, small American flags to be sold at those inevitable 4th of July parades. Our ice-cream manufacturers are making such gems as “Bunker Hill Cherry” and “Stars and Stripes Mint.” The knows how much will be spent on fireworks before the big bang on July fourth? Yes, one thing is for sure, the “red, white and blue fever” has infected our city, our nation and the world. So as Americans sit in their Bicentennial edition of the Ford Pinto, eating a “Bunker Hill Cherry” cone, with red white and blue sunglasses on (limited offer by Cool-Ray), wondering why businesses from Maine to Hawaii continue their efforts to profit from our nation’s 200th birthday, they just keep in mind that it’s the American way! Ross Baker A bottle rocket exploded, and church bells tolled, filling the evening air with excitement and anticipation. Thus, Michigan City became actively involved in the celebration of the United States’ 200th birthday, officially proclaiming itself as a Bicentennial community on May 2, 1975. Michigan City joined approximately 7,000 other communities across the nation in encouraging citizens to become aware of their national heritage and involved in local Bicentennial activities. Like other enmrminftfes. Michigan City had an American Revolution Bicentennial Commission. Headed by the Honorable Conrad S. Kominiarek, the Michigan City Bicentennial Commission served as a steering committee in aiding local clubs and organizations plan special events pertaining to the Bicentennial. The committee, consisting of approximately 20 members, met every two weeks, discussing progress made and suggesting new plans or alternatives. Located on East Eleventh Street next to the South Shore station, the Commission office was opened to the public and run by Commission members Mrs. Velma Seymour and Mrs. Dorris Douglas. Their function, along with other duties, was to clip news articles and retain data pertaining to Michigan City’s involvement in the Bicentennial to be stored in the public library's archives for future reference. Under the approval of the commission, 40-50 various clubs and organizations throughout Michigan City initiated projects related to the Bicentennia. As pointed out by one of the Commission's secretaries, “Any Bicentennial project must be approved by the Bicentennial Commission before labeling itself with the Bicentennial.” The Sinai Forum series provided an additional four speakers along with the traditional five, while radio station WIMS sponsored an essay contest for elementary students. First place winner received a $25.00. Savings Bond and had his essay stored in the archives. The local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars sponsored a speech contest for high school students, featuring $300.00 as a first place prize along with an opportunty to compete at state and national levels for a $10,000 scholarship. Sorority Beta Sigma Chi made plans to plant trees as their contribution to the Bicentennial while the Questors aided in plans for the remodeling of the bandshell. o G •ph 5 5 4- 0 bo H-� • pH u G a wo • fh G o • fH S Michigan City gained a lot of recognition nationwide from the Indiana State Prison. Aside from selling leather goods, some inmates have devoted much time and effort to individual projects. Inmate William Durant put his caligraphy talent to use by duplicating the Indiana State Constitution in antique script. The copy appears authentic; even the original smears on the document are included. Othello Dixon transcribed into braille the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, excerpts from Common Sense. Poor Richard’s Almanac, the Act of Congress creating the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration (ARBA) and the dedication speech when Michigan City became a Bicentennial community. Now located in the Library of Congress, they are the only braille documents available to the blind. Furthermore, private citizens became actively involved in the Bicentennial festivities. Al Pontius, owner of Al's Thrift-T-Mart grocery- stores, provided the community with the Freedom Van containing a replica of the Liberty Bell. John Carroll of Carroll Realty assembled a revolutionary cannon which was fired daily at 5:00 p.m. at Karwick Plaza tiil July 4th. People who fired the cannon did so by paying a fee of SI.00. Proceeds went toward the installment of a new flagpole at Ames Field. A crocheted American flag, donated to St. Stanislaus Church by Mrs. Marvin Kominiarek, now stands in the Bicentennial Commission’s office. Rogers students, too, became involved in the grand celebration. Art III students designed and painted a mural depicting highlights in American history. Black History stuaems also conslriicleuamural. displaying it in the school cafeteria. Senior Barry Krockover was named local winner of the VFW Bicentennial Speech Contest. The Music Department produced a concert highlighted with traditional patriotic tunes. Michigan City and her citizens became immerced in the “Spirit of ’76.” Enthusiasm grew as July 4th crept closer and closer. An almost total involvement emerged. After July 4th the church bells stopped tolling and the fireworks died, but the spirit of unity produced by the Bicentennial continued. “Give a hoot, don’t pollute!” sang Woodsy Owl and Johnny Horizon as ARBA the eagle joined the chorus. r v “Get into American,” the “Bicen- tennial Minute,” and “Happy Birthday, America!” were among the many slogans used to inform us how other people were getting into America. Within two years the number of Bicentennial communities soared to over 7,000 recognized by ARBA. These communities revitalized forgotten heritage by restoring old buildings and monuments, but most took advantage by improving their quality of life. Trail Creek spiralled red, white, and blue stripes around street signs while youths organized to pick up refuse along the roads in Beverly Shores. Some Black History students at Rogers made a mural which hung in the school while Art classes created a mural and donated it to the Michigan City ARBC. To celebrate a birthday there is always a birthday cake, but to celebrate a centennial and a bicentennial simultaneously, demands the largest cake in the world. San Francisco honored both anniversaries by baking a 35,000 pound birthday cake. It was 30 feet high and contained 11,500 pounds of flour, 5,100 pounds of sugar, 1,700 dozen eggs, plus a 222 pound pinch of salt, all built on 32,000 pounds of fruit cake. 200 illuminated candles topped the cake along with a huge Phoenix, which is the city’s official symbol. Most of the cake went to charity, and the remainder was sold in two-pound 1 Original draftings of historical documents are displayed in the National Archives in Washington. 2 New history is made each day at the White House in Washington. 3 Ross Baker poses as Uncle Sam 4 The Old Lighthouse Museum remains as an historic symbol of Michigan City.

Will America celebrate its “Tri- centennial!” Oklahoma University has already planned ahead by promoting one dollar donations to be deposited in a bank at the end of 1976. This money will remain for one hundred years collecting interest. Each donor will be proclaimed a “Bicentennial Minuteman, and a list will be placed in a time capsule. As a part of the Heritage ’76” theme, some American communites f went out of the United States to get into America. To better understand their origins and to learn more about each other, American communities invited foreign cities to join the Bicentennial activities. This project was titled the Sister City Program,” and any community could participate. More than 535 cities, towns and villages were “sisters” with over 690 communities in 73 foreign nations. Mobile, Alabama, affiliated with Pau, France, when they hired an architect from France to help in the restoration of the French-built Fort Conde, York, Pennsylvania, invited several hundred Frenchmen to their town on July 4th. The group chartered a 747 Jumbo Jet for the occasion. Another city which sought more of its heritage was Alexandria, Virginia, which became sister to Dundee, Scotland, because of s the role it played in Alexandria’s origin. This cultural involvement created a better understanding ____________________________________J Toward new alternatives As Dr. Eric Berne, the creater of transactional analysis, stated, “Before a child is eight years old he develops a concept about his worth. He also formulates ideas about the worth of others. He crystallizes his experiences and decides what it all means to him, what parts he is going to play, and how he is going to play them. These are the days of decision.” What a child obtains from school depends on how this early decision is made whether he chooses to accept school as it is or attempts to change it. Over the years classes have become more diverse. At Rogers some adjustments have been made. In the English Department some new classes were added, including a 2-3 phase Creative Writing class, 4-5 phase Mystery in Literature, Traditional Senior English, and a Speed Reading course. New teaching methods were instituted in the Home-Economics Department, with boys beginning to take part. The foundation for new classes in the Science Department next year was established. For the first time a Black History class was offered. Two math courses. Vocational and Consumer Math, were introduced. In the Business Department experimental “mini-courses” were offered. W'ith these exceptions other academic classes remained fundamentally the same. If students in today’s society have different interests than those in the good old days,” it is not because the school curriculum is drastically changing; rather, people’s attitudes are changing. Matters that were once pushed aside are coming out into the open. Dress codes have been removed, and money is becoming less of a status symbol for the younger generation. Now kids can be themselves, dress in jeans, act relaxed and still be socially accepted. As Dr. Berne stated, attitudes develop early in life. It is up to each individual to make up his mind about school. Different ideals are imposed on the child today. He probably acts differently towards school than his parents. Instead of just accepting things the way they are, students are attempting to change them . . . not just for the sake of change, but hopefully for improvement. In New York City in 1970 a small group of dissatisfied students and parents set out to start their own high school. These students weren’t drop-outs or problem students; they were simply unhappy w'ith what they were getting from school. These students and parents chose to form an alternative school where they made their own rules. They later wrote a book entitled Starting Your Own High School. Among other reasons, the book w-as w'ritten to help those who are struggling towards the creation of their own alternatives. In the early 1900’s, students went to school without a second thought. They accepted things the way they were, looking forward to making their own decisions in the future. They didn’t feel that they could voice their opinions while in high school. Today students want to modify things now. It is apparent that a change is taking place although any alteration must be gradual. Kim Ratcliffe The phased elective program took one step backward-in time. Because of increased student interest, the English Department was able to offer a one semester traditional senior literature course. Although it had been available since its year-long counterpart was abandoned two years ago, there were never enough students to institute a class. Though few realized it, the same material used in the traditional class could be covered by combining the senior literature course with Techniques in Writing or Research and Expository Writing. The program moved in other directions, also. A lower phased Creative Writing class, a higher phased Mystery in Literature class and work on speed reading in the Individual Reading classes reflected student interests. From a survey to determine the need for an honors course. Department Chairman Gerald Peters noted that most students felt there were enough courses if they could get into them. Twenty-five courses were taught, and scheduling was frustrating. Some juniors and seniors found time to take two or three classes each semester. The sophomores were still offered a traditional course aimed at developing their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. The material was essentially the same, but the manner in which it was presented varied with the individual teachers. 58 English classes pass through a phase 1 Ernie Ritchie reads A Member of the Wedding for his American Novel class. 2 The posters behind the desk in his classroom reflect Mr. Jones' interest in gymnastics. 3 Fairy tales really do come true for Isis Leon.

Under pressure. Under pressure! The RYB survey shown could not compete with polls by Callup and Harris. There was no large scale operation spanning the continent, questioning the old and young, rich and poor, near and far. In fact, the sampling was rather limited Responses were collected during April from males and females enrolled in grades ten through twelve at Rogers High School. That’s limited! But these people are seen every day, and their opinions matter. As students they all faced tests at one time or another. Twelve questions were designed to see how they felt about them. Most spend half an hour the night before in preparation for a test. Others responded that they avoided the unpleasant task altogether, relying instead on what they already knew. Students generally disliked tests but still preferred having them once every two weeks. This shorter period of time, as contrasted to interims of six weeks or more, gave the individual tests less weight with less material on each test. Just as teachers had their preference on the type of test to give, so students favored true false. It was probably the easiest for both. The student had a 50% chance of being right, and the tests could be graded quickly by the instructor. One student defended the least popular, essay test, saying it was easy to B.S. his way through it. In this modern technological society, 78% of the students still felt pressured to do well on tests. Most of the pressure was from teachers or from within the individual himself. In some cases the pressure came from more than one source, including | arents and friends. An overwhelming 83% believed too much emphasis was placed on tests. The desire to succeed may account for the fact that 49% of the students admitted to cheating. The key word is admitted-it cannot lx- determinet! how many people obtain test questions before hand or glance around without considering it cheating. While the class and teacher had some influence on when the students cheated, the difficulty of the test was their main concern. This information deals with written and oral tests. The music, art and vocational departments have their own testing methods. There is no chance to cheat on a solo in band if a B is played in place of a C. But they're all tests. The majority of students concluded that tests were overemphasized, inaccurate and a source of pressure, but 67% agreed they should continue to be given. That’s irony.

Mathematics creates a new angle The Math Department tried a new angle by introducing Consumer and Vocational Math. Designed primarily for sophomores, these courses emphasized practicality. In Vocational Math students learned various ways of using their math abilities. These included reading meters, finding electrical tolerance resistors, and constructing geometrical figures. Facts concerning taxes, insurance, per cent interest, checking and savings accounts, and auto ownership and operation were taught in Consumer Math. With more and more students becoming interested in Calculus, class size more than doubled. In February Rogers hosted the second annual Rogers-Purdue Math Invitational. Eleven schools competed, with the Raider team coming in first. A special trophy case was placed outside the math office to accommodate the many honors awarded. Materials were donated by former teacher, Hubert Griffis, and the case was constructed by Lynn Steinhiser. In November the Math and Science Departments organized a combined career month. Topics included Careers in Math, “Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science.” Career opportunities were presented for those interested in furthering their math education. 63 Give ’EM Hell, Harry drew five hundred twenty social studies students out of the classroom and down the street to Marquette Theater. The movie was about the life of former President Harry Truman. During local elections senior social studies students volunteered to work at the polls calling in vote tabulations to VVIMS and WMCB. Also, those interested helped in the campaigns of political candidates for the November election. Due to student interest, the first Black History class was offered with eighteen students taking part. During Black History Week the class was involved in the construction of a mural, which was placed in the cafeteria. Go to the grocery during government class? For Mr. Del Lonzo's 2:50 class it was a weekly assignment. The class was divided into groups and assigned a store. Every Thursday they took a grocery list and recorded the prices of specific items. By comparing prices, students were able to relate current changes in the economy to their government class. These were a few of the many community activities in which social studies students participated. Class extends into community 1 Marie and Pam Burns display their discreet way of passing notes. 2 Carl Varrie and Guillermo Borrero quiz each other before a test. 3 “It’s really me! exclaims Mr Lootens 4 'Midst the usual clutter on his desk.

Department Chairman George Hultgren says that it is the “pathway to success.” If one has the desire to learn and works to apply himself the courses that are offered here gives him the depth necessary to compete at the finest universities.” As the class enrollment goes up, the budget goes down. This year students had fewer chemicals and inadequate equipment, which limited the number of experiments they could perform. The foundation was laid in February for new courses of study that will begin next year. Chemistry I and II, Physics I, Biology I and II, Unified Science and Vocational Physical Science will offer the student a bigger choice in various branches of science. However, the new equipment necessary for the courses is not available because of the lack of money. Students will have to improvise and use community resources, and teachers will have to borrow from industries. The Regional Science Fair was one of the most successful as Rogers brought home five awards. Debbie Woodfield received a first place in Behavioral Science for her experiment, “Stress Syndromes in Mice.” Second places went to John Abraham — Zoology, “Determining the Respiratory Quotient of a Mouse; Jeff Isenblatter — Botany, “Effects of Electricity upon Plants;” and Kathy Mark — Mathematical and Computer, “Math and Music II.” Honorable mention went to Ron Thode — Physics, “the Schlieren Effect.” 1 Jeff Miller checks to see if his calculations are correct. 2 Kathy Mark displays her Science Fair project, “Math and Music II. 3 With steady hands.

But not always. In Rogers’ foreign language classes the emphasis was on developing a workable knowledge of French, German or Spanish. Much of the class time was spent in conversation: some of it patterned from dialogs, some from the day’s activities and some from hypothetical situations — all in a foreign language. In one of Senor Hakim’s classes, Spanish students spent the first ten minutes each day in small discussion groups “to work themselves into a mood for the language. The classes deviated from the traditional seating in rows, preferring instead a semi-circle to encourage discussion. Learning was not all from conversation. The classes used games, magazines, workbooks and textbooks. The textbooks were in many cases new. As part of a five year plan now in its third year, one set of books for a specific level were purchased annually for each language. Second year Spanish and French books were added in addition to third year German Books.

The council combined vocalists and instrumentalists in four formal concerts, two of which were dedicated to the Bicentennial. Minnesingers changed from an extra-curricular activity to a class giving the group more rehearsal time. Clad in bandana print shirts and overalls, they performed throughout the community. Together with the three other choruses, the Minnesingers raised eleven hundred dollars in a candy drive to make the final payment on their robes. The band was also busy raising money. A goal of thirty-five hundred dollars was set in an attempt to buy uniforms. In the meantime, the band marched at home football games in blue jeans and matching shirts. The orchestra, a non-performing group, gave students greater exposure to string instruments. The class rotated instruments to give members a variety of experiences. Music theory taught students the fundamentals of music construction such as scales, intervals and chords. Band director. Tommy Hendricks, noted that the real fun is when you get enough ability to create.” 71 Co-ed kitchens create ethnic delicacies While girls were participating in basketball, volleyball and other sports, guys were also fighting for equal rights by taking home economics classes. Five young men were enrolled in Foods, Family Living and Creative Crafts. This year, more college-bound students were enrolled in home economics classes. Many were interested in home economic careers. Different teaching methods were used to get the students involved. Members of Mrs. Wallace’s Child Development class brought in children from two to four years old for a “play school. They organized games, read stories and served milk and cookies. Another innovative idea was used in Creative Foods classes. Upon entering, one might have imagined he was visiting a sidewalk cafe in Paris, a Mexican fonda or a Chinese panciteria. The class prepared various ethnic cuisines in addition to domestic dishes. Members of Creative Foods classes weren't the only taste testers, however. The teachers at the Christmas Faculty Luncheon and prom-goers also sampled their creations. One semester Home Economic classes allowed variation in class choice which encouraged more students to pnroll. 72 1 Things aren't always right the first time, and Joni Wilhelm helps Joy Westphal rip out the seam 2 Karen Post works on one of a variety of projects in Creative Crafts.

They were designed to teach students the practical application of business. Each course was created by the teacher with films and posters taking the place of textbooks. An additional typing class, Personal Typing was offered. Progressing at a slow pace, it was devised to teach students enough about the keyboard for personal use. An expanded C.O.E. program doubled participation from twenty-five to fifty. Here students worked as typists, secretaries, stenographers and receptionists for different industries such as Mid-City, Jaymar, and Sullair. They received on-the- job training while using business skills acquired in class. 75 1 A swan balance on the lower bar is executed by Connie Stanley as Lynn Smiertelny watches 2 Gina Cain and Patti Webb use kick boards to strengthen leg muscles 3 Competition is fierce for the rebound as Ernest Jones grabs it from Tim McCline and Calvin Mickey. 4 Marlene Niles and Jamie Offut spot Shelli Kepler for a back aerial Those colored socks look terrible Individuality is important, but there are times when uniformity is necessary. P.E. class is one of them. Teachers gave their student athletes six weeks to buy a P.E. suit. After that they were expected to be dressed the same-all the way down to their white socks. Instructor Marcia Hahn emphasized the white socks when she observed that, “It really looks terrible to have everyone in gym suits and all those striped and flowered socks!” Because of segregated classes, tank suits were not required during the six weeks each student spent in the pool. Any “appropriate” swim suit was acceptable. The classes followed similar curricula. Each spent a semester on team sports such as volleyball, basketball and football with the other semester devoted to individual sports, including gymnastics, tennis and golf. Teachers made use of available facilities, improvised a little (on units like hockey) and observed a great demand for a trampoline.” Segregrated classes were a change from the co-ed program used last year, but they will be changing again due to Title IX legislation requiring equal opportunity regardless of sex. 77 1 2 3 A 5 Drivers shift to high gear Phase one of Drivers’ Education found a student studying Sportsman- like Driving and the drivers’ manual before taking quizzes. He then moved to the simulator where he synchronized his driving techniques to movies which posed problem situations.

A goal was set to broaden the basic source of infor- mation. Teachers attempted to meet this goal through the use of films, charts and model body parts. Nurses, doctors. Red Cross volunteers and other speakers talked to the classes about Health and Safety careers. According to Health and Safety teacher Mr. Freese, the department was “organized as good as any around. 1 Having experimented with a variety of medi- ums.

It ail(j the classes to be put V a semester basis as opposed to theAtraditional Weather dictates curriculum Ever-changing weather dictated the curriculum in horticulture classes. Mr. Sig Peterson, the only horticulture instructor, admitted he must prepare “wet weather and dry weather lesson plans. Time is also a big factor in coordinating the classes’ activities. Tulips planted in November weren’t ready until February, and lilies potted in December didn’t bloom until Easter. But the students out-smarted Mother Nature by con- structing an illuminated growing rack with an automatic timer. This enabled them to nurse chrysanthemums indoors during the winter months without having them bloom too early. Since there is no text for the course, publications put out by the government, universities and com- mercial sources provided the infor- mation needed to study soils, topog- raphy, weather and plant physiology. Drawing boards and T-squares were used for landscape architecture. Because their designs were on paper, money didn’t inhibit class crea- tivity. Throughout the year horti- culture students implemented their knowledge by assisting in the on- going process of landscaping the school. 82 1 A group effort by Karyn Bunting.

It was symbolic of a pond, and I was initiated as a Brownie. I learned to raise the three fingers on my right hand and repeat the pledge that became engraved in my mind: “On my honor Many repetitions later I “flew up” to Girl Scouts. Our troop leader stressed the motto Be prepared” — something I couldn’t comprehend at the time. I learned to make a fire from sticks and stones in case I was caught without matches. I am no longer a Girl Scout. The fire is long dead, but as the cliche continues: a tiny flame still burns. As I reminisce and look through old photo albums, I chuckle at the humorous situations I was in. But now more than ever I can realize the significance of the phrase “be prepared. I haven’t needed to build a fire from sticks and stones, but I have and will continue to draw on other things I’ve learned. This knowledge has evolved little by little. The pieces have come from many sources, but the bulk of my formal education occurred within the school. Looking back, I wonder how well these pieces fit together — specifically, how well Rogers has prepared me for what’s ahead. I asked a variety of teachers that same question. Mr. Sims summed up the popular opinion when he said, “It’s here if the student wants it.” For two hundred eighty students, it wasn’t here when they wanted it. They weren’t demanding anything extraordinary. These students were denied math, art, power mechanics, horticulture and welding classes. This 84 can be attributed to a lack of teachers, funds and facilities. Counselor jo Presser, upset about the situation, said, I figure if a student wants a class, he ought to get it.” Some just don’t want it. Sophomores and juniors are required to be in school for the entire day unless they participate in a school sponsored work-study program. Seniors, however, are free to decide how many classes they w'ant to carry. Providing a student has completed his English requirement and has thirty-two credits, he need only take a government class in the final year. Approximately fifty per cent of all seniors take three classes or less. Most of them work, but others had no reason for taking so few classes. They shrugged their shoulders and said, 'T don’t know.” Regardless of students’ attitudes, their accomplishments speak for themselves. Rogers students have won awards in math competition, earned recognition in state VICA contests and obtained enough experience to qualify for apprenticeships paying approximately $9,000. a year. Other students are eligible for advance credit at colleges because of their academic background. Mrs. Presser proudly admitted that this was a super year for scholarships.” Recent alumni still had mixed opinions on their education at Rogers. Graduates complimented individual teachers for contributions to their education but were more hesitant to praise the specific academic departments. Their opinions were changing, as mine will. It’s inevitable. As pieces are added, point of view changes: from Brownie to high school graduate to . . . Debbie Woodfield 85 Rogers offers complete training With the demand for vocation- al careers rising, students can now obtain enough knowledge in high school to qualify for an apprentice- ship, where no further training is necessary. Twenty different classes were offered, including various one hour introductory courses which provided an exploratory look into specific fields of interest. Three hour vocational classes allowed students from other schools to attend. According to Mr. Richard Sad- enwater, chairman of the Industrial Education Department, “The problem of seniors being interested in academic pursuits is that many would rather leave school early daily than indulge in challenging courses. The opportunity was presented; the choice was up to each individual student. 86 k 1 Dave Everly demonstrates his skill adjusting a lawn mower engine. 2 Randy Hocutt examines the various meters in Electronics Class. 3 In an attempt to restore the right rear quarter of this car.

The students are instructed to sign their name on the inside cover and acquaint themselves with the mater- ial in the book. Leafing through the pages, they look for something interesting. Page after page of typewritten letters on white paper gets quite monotonous. But when a picture appears, the book comes to life. Pictures stimulate a new interest. In most children’s books every page has a picture to bring in action and make the book more exciting. A vocational class is like a picture that pops out of the page. More than just words are taught. The student learns how to use these words in a practical manner and to a much higher degree than imagined. Students in an electronics class use trigonometric functions to find currents and voltage, physics to find solid state calculations for semi-conductors and advanced algebra to design circuits. A student on an academic pro- gram absorbs all the information he can and stores it up to use later, whereas a vocational student grasps the meaning and molds it into some- thing tangible. He learns how to use what he is being taught. A vocational student is train- ed to do the job right now. After graduation it is possible for him to be an apprentice. In this case, he works under a journeyman, get- ting all the training he needs and receiving 40-50% of the journey- man’s hourly wage of at least ten dollars an hour. He gets paid while learning, unlike a college student who pays tremendous amounts of money for an education which doesn’t even guarantee a job after he earns his degree. An academic education is ben- eficial for the student who wants to continue his studies after high school. He can then take all of the knowledge he has picked up and put it to use. But, for the stu- dent who plans to get a job after high school, getting some type of vocational training is valuable. Of what use is an A on a trigo- nometry test when one doesn’t fully understand how to use what he has learned? And why memorize formulas for a physics test when it will just be forgotten the next day?

For some the burden was lessened with the assistance of 1CT. CHO, or COE. These co-op programs en- abled the students involved to ex- plore their prospective careers. ICT, Industrial Cooperative Training, offered trade and tech- nical jobs ranging from beauti- cians to model makers. CHO, Coop- erative Health Organization, prov- ided jobs in the health field such as nurses’ aides, x-ray technicians or doctors’ assistants. COE, Coop- erative Office Education, was con- cerned with office jobs. The students were paid to work for half a day before attending a required one hour related class. Members learned and practiced skills relating to their par- ticular job. The goal of these programs was to help the students choose their future career. According to Mrs. Marion Mills, chairman of the CHO Program, “The majority of stu- dents usually stay in some related area of work after high school. Teamwork expands sports curriculum Cross country, tennis, football, swimming, wrestling, golf, baseball, track and basketball . . . the sports at Rogers are enough to keep the average athlete busy. Since their invasion of the male realm in 1972, the girls have acquired golf, swimming, volleyball, basketball and softball. What more could a Michigan City school of seventeen hundred ask for? When this school was born, male athletics were well-defined and limited to the major sports. With new equality laws behind them, the girls were able to overcome the initial rough starts and pursue their athletic program. The boys seem content with their sports. The girls at Rogers have come a long way. The girls’ swim team had a decline in participants in 1976. Does this indicate that girls have no time for sports? To quote an old Hammerstein lyric, “They’ve gone about as far as they can go.” Right? Wrong! Things are booming in the Athletic Department. More and more students are trying out for sports, and the number of letter sweaters awarded is increasing. In a period of three years the department plans to add three more sports to the program if funds allow it or not. In a short five year history, Rogers’ athletes have made a commendable showing and are improving their performance every year, (even if the local paper hasn’t always recognized it). They have collected three conference championships in basketball, swimming, and tennis and two sectional championships in baseball and girls' basketball. Rogers has sent both male and female athletes to state and regional competition. Defeating the basketball king in 1976, Rogers ended the complete domination of Elston in sectional play. Athletics at Rogers is going somewhere. The trophy cases are filling up, and the Raiders are making their marks in the record books. Travis Tucker CROSS COUNTRY Season dominated by seconds The 1975-76 Cross-Country Team had a winning season with a 16-2 record. For the fourth year, the team placed a Running Raider in the top six of 140 runners in the sectionals. Coach Fisher commented, “We had a second place season: second in the Gary Edison Invita- tional, in the Duneland Conference, in Rogers’ Fourth Annual Invita- tional and in the I.H.S.A.A. Sec- tionals.” Ten men were awarded letters as opposed to only nine distributed last year. The Most Valuable Player Award w'as claimed by John Bradley, and the Running Raider Award went to Todd Woodfield.

As the team's record soon showed, Ron Lemon had brought football at Rogers a long way No team on the schedule meant as much to Raiders as the first game against Elston. This contest was totally dominated by Rogers although Elston did show signs of a future team. With spirits high and the team together, Rogers' gridmen traveled to the Maple City for the first Rogers- Laporte matchup. The Raiders scored early, and momentum carried them on to victory. Rogers’ record was 2-0 when Merrillville rolled into town with a defense capable of coping with the best. Raiders had to come from be- hind to pull off a win in a defensive battle. It was Roger’s first confer- ence win as a football team. After winning three games in a row, a first in the school’s football history, the team saw its name in the list of Indiana’s top 20, seven- teenth to be exact. Portage, also a conference team, was the next opponent. Mistakes handed the Raiders their first defeat in four starts. The following week the Raiders took out their frus- trations on South Bend Clay and upped their record to 4-1. 1 TEAM: Front row — Roger Flora, Dario Car- los. Tom Bergan.

Culver Military Academy was the site of the next contest and another first, a day game. The Raiders again came from behind to defeat Culver. Hobart smashed Rogers the following week showing Rogers another reason the Brickies were highly rated. Homecoming brought Chesterton to town, and the Raiders held on for a 12-10 victory, only to defeat them- selves in the season finale against South Bend Lsalle. The season was highlighted with Brian Kalvaitis and Garrick Roby being named to the All-State team. Brian Kalvaitis and Garrick Roby also made the All-Conference first team along w ith Pat Miller, Pat Wilkins, Tim Werner and Randy Hocutt. Tim Gloff and Steve Garner were named to the second team. h-l h-l PQ H O O 98 1 Problems in the defensive secondary force a sideline talk between Coach Lemon and Pat Miller. 2 Computing the following play in their heads, the Raiders break huddle. 3 Two La salle defenders provide the end of the road for running back Mel Williams. 4 Exhausted from their first day game.

Seniors Mark Anderson, Dan Kienitz and Bill Smith, along with junior Steve Laesch led the team to an 11-8 record. The Rogers Netters became city champs by defeating Marquette 4-1 and Elston 5-0. The Raiders finished third in the conference, defeating Portage, Merrillville and Hobart twice. They split with Chesterton but lost key matches to Valpo and Hobart. Traveling to South Bend for the sectionals, Rogers knocked off the first round opponent John Glenn, but was shot down by number one ranked La Porte. Mr. Cunningham gave much praise to his underclassmen and is “expect- ing big things in the years ahead. 1 2 3 4 TENNIS TEAM: Front row — Bud Barcnie, Bob Keleher, and Ed Samalio.

History to have a winning season. Even though this was a high point, there were also several other highlights during the season. For the third year in a row the matmen won the Knox Tourney. Rogers yielded five individual champs and the most valuable wrestler of the tournament. Scott Miller. The Raiders only lost four matches all year, but because these were conference matches, Rogers finished fifth in the Duneland Conference. The Wrestlers remained City champs, defeating Elston 23-21. Brian Kalvaitis, Randy Hocutt, Scott Miller and Steve Havlin placed second in sectional and advanced to the regionals. At the regionals Scott Miller finished second and then proceeded to the State Finals where he was defeated in the first round. Ten members had winning seasons this year, and the B-Team went 10-1 for their season. This was the best season ever posted at Rogers as the team finished 8-4-1. 102 1 Brian Ray applies the Banana splits. 2 Manager Bob Haskins prepares the mat for the sectionals. 3 WRESTLING TEAM: Front row — Darrell Oakley, Kent Van Sickle.

Members start in October swimming 2000 yards a day and by December have worked up to 13,000 yards a day. “It was a progressive season,” stated Coach Ed Jonas, “Every week times improved and individuals stood out.” This was the case at the Duneland Conference Swim Meet. The team collected six first place awards, set five conference records and four Rogers records and placed fourth in overall competition. Coach Jonas awarded the “Swimmer of the Week” award to the whole team in honor of their performance. Placing third at sectionals, individual performances were again the story. Dave Phelps was the first Michigan City swimmer to set an automatic All-American time in the 200 yard Freestyle. Dave also made All-American consideration time in the 500 yard Freestyle along with Rick Sawicki in the 100 yard Backstroke. With the first place finishes of Phelps, Sawicki, Lawson, and the Medley Relay Team, Rogers was ready for State. Quality not quanity prevailed at State as four Raider swimmers, passing the sectional champs and runnersup, claimed an eighth place finish. The Medley Relay Team of Rick Sawicki, Paul Lawson, Larry Arndt and Dave Phelps put Rogers on the scoreboard in the first event by placing eighth. Paul Lawson made a 14th place finish in the 100 yard Breaststroke. Dave Phelps not only retained his championship in the 200 yard Freestyle but gave Rogers another first in the 500 yard Freestyle, making Dave the first double state champ in Michigan City history. According to the Muncie Star one of the feature evets of the meet was the 100 yard Backstroke. Rogers sophomore Rick Sawicki challenged defending state champ, senior Greg Beyerl. Rick finished inches behind Beyerl and brought Rogers home a second place. Rick also placed 13th in the 200 yard Individual Medley. 1 Da e Phelps swims in for another first place. 2 Gasping for air.

John Bradly took Cross Country MVP honors while Mark Anderson, tennis ace, walked off with his piece of gold. Scott Miller, a standout in wrestling, won MVP. Dave Phelps shared honors with Ricki Sawicki. Both were state contenders. Rogers’ super guard, D’Andre Stinnette, took MVP in basketball. Kelly Miller for his second year straight hauled in yet another trophy. Baseball’s Tim Werner again cashed in, and swift-footed J.B. Hurt stole track’s MVP. MVP in Girls Volleyball was won by Kathie Calloway. Sue Deutscher was named top girl golfer, and Paula Allen was ac- claimed Girls’ Basketball best. Pat Budak was outstanding in swimming while Mary Madaus won several honors and MVP in Girls’ softball Jean Put? was the spirited cheerleader MVP. Phi Delt Award for the out- standing scholar-athlete was a- warded to Tim Werner. Tim was MVP in football and baseball and was an honor student. ‘These are Rogers’ 15 best. Most, besides winning MVP honors, were All-Area, All-Conference, All- State or All-American.

Bill Hahn started his fifth season as head coach at Rogers. The death of Herman Wilson disassembled the nucleus of one of groups of basketball talent Rogers has ever seen. With a handful of seniors, Hahn had to search through a crop of underclassmen to assume the roles of experienced players. Size was not a key to the team, but strength, quickness, agilit) confidence and spirit were. The Raiders were a running team-a strategy usually looked down upon� — but that was their game, and the - performed it with precision The Raiders started the season with two wins and a close loss to La Porte. From then on the team looked different every time they played. Some nights the cagers looked like state contenders while other nights they showed no evidence of a promising team Fighting through the season, the team ended up 10-10 — respectable, considering the inexperience of some of the players. Sectional time matched Rogers in their first-round game with New Prairie; Raiders pulled it out in the final minute and advanced to the semi-finals to upset Number Three Elston in the biggest game in Michigan City basketball history This ended Elston s sectional streak at 24 Rogers proceeded to the finals where they agaift met LaPorte. The Raiders were heavily favored but were upset by a hot-landed LaPorte team. Rogers loses key seniors in D'Andre Stinnette, Ellis Thomas, Lester Fleming and Rick Anderson but have a returning line up with poten- tial. h-l h-l « H W W CO PP 1 BASKETBALL TEAM: Front row — Coach Freese.

Hi « w « The 1976 Raider Baseball Team had talent-PLUS. Vets filled every position except the mound, so pre- season Raiders looked sound. The big question was the pitching. The staff was hampered by the loss of graduating ace pitcher Bob Cowden. The bulk of the pitching fell on Senior Mike Shipley, who worked hard through the off-season and looked impressive in spring train- ing. Jeff Cox, a junior pitcher, also looked promising, but his lack of experience gave Shipley the edge. Another senior, Steve Garner, was also capable for mound duty if called. Raider bats were red hot as the season opened, but the pitching didn’t measure up. Game after game was lost as errors, weak pitching and failure to get hits when they were needed hurt the team. Raiders had one unusual quality: they always played their best while playing the best teams. No. 1 ranked LaPorte barely won with a narrow score of 1 0 while No. 7 Chesterton scraped by with an 8-6. Pitching did improve as the season came to an end. Cox came on strong, and the result was three big victories. The baseballers expected more from the season but ended up with a record of 7 wins and 13 los- ses. 112 1 Brian Allen releases from the mound 2 BASEBALL TEAM: Front row — Kevin Dever- eaux, John Kramer.

Three records were broken at the Duneland Conference Indoor Track Meet: Milt Roby set the one lap dash at 19.9 seconds; John B. Hurt raced to 7.4 seconds in the 60 yard low hurdles; and the eight lap relay- team of J.B. Hurt, Brian Hurt, Milt Roby and Steve Cross ran 2 minutes 54.5 seconds. The Raiders also initiated the first indoor track meets in the Rogers Fieldhouse. Opponents were Marquette and Chesterton. To the Raider Trackmen, the indoor season was just a preview of what they would do outdoors. However, when the team stepped outside, times did not come down, distances were not extended and heights were not reached as was expected. Coach Fisher remarked that until mid- season, he was “disappointed.” In spite of apparent apathy, mid- season performance brought an upturn in Raider spirit. Four school records were broken in the meet against Elston: Brian Hurt set the 440 yard dash at 51.5 seconds; J B. Hurt ran a 20.4 seconds in the low hurdles. The mile relay team of Scott Beall, Wille Davis, Pete Hillsamer and Larry Whitlow were timed at 3 minutes 32.1 seconds, and the 880 relay team of Steve Cross, Brian Hurt, J.B. Hurt and Milt Roby were clocked at 1 minute 31.2 seconds. Early in the season another record was set by pole vaulter Ken Larson with the height of 11 feet 6 inches. The 24 Hour Marathon Run was run for the third consecutive year. The event took place on the parking lot track with trackmen, cross country runners and guest celebrities running to increase athletic funds. 115 Rigorous schedule challenges golfers While golf is an individual sport, thirteen athletes were able to function as a team. Five boys played each match with the top four scores counting. This allowed team- mates to back each other up and relieve some of the pressure. Thev traveled in cars instead of busses to out of town meets and could be found receiving tips from Coach Bill Hahn, who often went out on the course with them during practice. Matches were held at Pottawattomie Country Club instead of the Municipal Golf Course. The new' location wras less crowded and allowed team members to play at their own pace. Because golfers could complete the round faster and with less interference, more eighteen hole matches were played. The course challenged golfers to control their shots, providing excellent experience for sectional and regional competition. Coach Hahn’s philosophy, the more experience people get in athletics, the better they get,” supported his use of six freshmen on the thirteen-member team. The underclassmen-dominated squad had a rigorous schedule with the B-team playing an increased number of matches and the varsity facing more difficult opponents including Merrillville and LaPorte. 116 1 Brad Pohlman shoulders his clubs and walks to the next tee. 2 Using his putter to determine the angle.

AVfi WVM ii M' lit VAVmi MllVlV AWVV «Wi VAVmV When the athlete rises early on a Saturday morning, many thoughts run through his mind. Getting up for an early morning practice can be hard after a rough night before, or it can be something the athlete looks forward to. It is all a matter of opinion. That inner drive, coaxed by parent pressure, self pride, or love of a sport, pushes the athlete from under the covers and prepares him for practice. “On the line — set — go, go, go — damn it, run!” Select phrases such as this echo in the athlete’s head as a donut or a bowl of Rice Krispies is munched down before taking off for school. Saturday usually brings a short practice as Sunday will be a day off preceding the new week of preparation for game day. Sunday is enjoyed totally, well almost totally, as thoughts of aching muscles weave in and out of the athlete’s mind while he watches T.V. during the afternoon. Mondays open with 9:15 class. Once again images of practice flash through his mind, and soon he is caught daydreaming. The hours of school drag on, and in time the athlete is once again suited up for practice. To him it seems as though he never left the gym last Saturday. The tedium of repetition slows time down immensely as the same drills done every day are once again repeated. Practice draws to a conclusion. “On the line — set — go, go, go — damn it, run!” After Monday’s practice the locker room is hectic as of the day gone by. In the evening’s homework, and the upcoming weekend is predominant. The week passes, and soon it is game day. Perhaps glad the week of practice is over, the athlete prepares himself mentally for competition. All day long the student runs plays, strategy, moments of glory and moments of agony through his head. The walk to the gym after the final class is a silent one w ith the exception of an Are you ready for tonight? or two. The locker room is filled with nervousness as the daily events are discussed, trying to keep the game off their minds. The bus ride to the playing field is usually quiet with a group or two discussing plays or strategy. The weekend is also a lively topic in scattered group conversation. A fear is present in every athlete. Playing at an opponent's field, playing a team bigger or stronger or the lack of confidence could be the reason for the fear, but nonetheless it is there. Thoughts of winning and losing are also dominant. The bus arrives, and the unloading process begins. No matter what the temperature is, the athlete is chilled. Soon the flow of adrenaline warms him as he performs pregame calisthenics. The athlete is in another world; he thinks of nothing but the game. Flashbacks of practice, strategy and tactics once again are present Pregame announcements are made, but the athlete pays no attention. The game begins. No matter how poor the opposing team plays, fear and unsureness remain with the athlete until his team scores. With a score the team’s confidence is increased immensely. The fear and unsureness are gone. Before the score everything seems unorganized, but afterward things seem to jell. Plays and strategy click like clockwork. With the absence of a score, chaos sets in. The team may not show it, but total confidence is not there. The ride home can be a joy ride or as dull as a funeral parlor. Upon wanning, the bus is jubilant. The athlete will be able to face tomorrow. The newspaper article covering the game will be an interesting one. The feeling is good, and talks of celebration have begun. Upon losing, not a word is spoken. Inner guilt and defeat deaden the athlete’s thoughts and actions. Once home the shower room also remains silent. The athlete’s world has temporarily been crushed. The following day the results will be posted publically. The athlete keeps to himself as the loss still remains fresh in the mind. This is the world of the athlete. It is not all fun and glory. Sometimes his world can be a lonely one. Tim Werner Team lacks experience Girls’ volleyball was not all smiling faces and victories as the team began its third season. Coached by Marcia Hahn, the girls ended the season with a varsity record of 2-10 and a 1-10 JV record. The team’s lack of experience was evident by the many sophomore and junior letter winners. Only one, senior Mary Madaus, has been a member since team organization three years ago. According to Coach Hahn, the team “should have a better record next year.” The Raider Award, citing dedication, hard work and the Raider spirit, was given to Paula Allen. Most Valuable Player Donna Wizeicki was accepted on the All-Conference team while sophomore Mary Karstens and junior Sue Rebac earned honor- able mention. 120 A NCW DIMENSION 1 GIRLS' JV VOLLEYBALL TEAM: Front row — Kim (.ogmann, Roxann Kahn.

Rogers Athletic Department granted the girls the opportunit} to have a girls’ track club. Train- ing, together, many girls found them- selves participating in both solt- ball games and track meets. No conference or sectional competition was provided lor the softball team, so the games were limited to schools in the surrounding area outside the Duneland Conference. On the other hand, the track program is part of the Duneland Conference. There was sectional competition and a state meet. The majority of the girls on the softball team participated in track meets with several athletes reaching sectional cut off times. It is prohibited in the IHSAA rules to participate on two teams in the same season. If track is added per- mently to the program, it is question- able if the girls’ softball team will suffer as many will have to choose between the two sports. C 3 O ►n H w r1 F 123 Girls win sectionals The Girls' Basketball Team, com- prised of twelve players, posted a 15-3 season. Practicing every night except game nights, the girls developed a mobility and skill they displayed in all their games. Given a chance at State Champion ship, they lost to Portage in the Regionals by 11 points. According to Earl Cunningham, “We had an en- joyable season with a well-balanced group.” Even though they will lose Senior Mary Madaus, the girls hope for a bright season next year. 1 Coach Cunningham instructs his leam. 2 Kathie Calloway’s fast break allows her to move swiftly down court. 3 Linda Thomas succeeds in capturing the hall while Mary Karstens attempts to help. 4 Sue Rebac fixes her eyes on the basket as a Portage player attempts to block. 5 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Front row — Kim Logman.

In their first meet only eight swimmers participated, but by conference the number had increased to eighteen. “We were competing against the toughest teams in the state, commented Coach Jo Anne Winey. The girls swam in the Merrillville Relays in which Lafayette Jefferson, the 1974-75 state champs, and other high- ranked teams participated. The Raiders also did well at sectionals. Swimmers made the consolation or championship finals in nine events, and diver Dawn Burkhart qualified for the semifinals. Travis Tucker was the only swimmer from Laporte County to qualify for the 2nd Annual Girls’ State Swim Meet with a time of 31.8 seconds in the 50 yard backstroke, while butterflyer Pat Budak missed qualifying by five tenths of a second. £ 2 z o 127 1 Second in the conference, Sue Deutscher, con- centrates on perfecting her swing. 2 The rough provides a difficult shot for Sue Hay 3 Freshman Linda Meyer’s game is highlighted by a 35-foot putt. 4 Kim Valentine tees off on the eighteenth. 5 GIRLS' GOLF TEAM: Julie Tietzer, Ellen El- dridge, Gayle Trueax, Debbie Woodfield, Kim Valentine.

Having increased to eleven members, the team stroked to second place with a 5-1 conference record. Among their conference victories the girls shot a 183 over Chesterton to set a course record at Mink Lake. During their first year in the Duneland Conference both the A and B teams competed against five more teams than in 1974. As for next year. Coach Hultgren is pointing toward the highest goals.” Although he will lose senior All-Conference player Sue Deutscher, remaining will be Kim Valentine and Linda Meyer, runners- up for the All-Conference golf team. o o F 129 THE FINAL TALLY r Basketball New Prairie Rogers 71 Opp. 43 M.

Not only do they cheer the athletes during competition, but they also bake goodies for the athletes, decorate their lockers and make signs to advertise games. One hour a day is devoted to inventing, learning, and perfecting their cheers. One always notices the cheerleaders in front of the crowd at basketball and football games, but one may not always notice them at other sports than cheers events; instead of being in front of the crowd, they are in it. Both varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders are required to attend eight minor sports events each season in addition to the events at which they cheer. Coached by Mrs. Cheryl Koepke, the team's season began in the summer selling all-purpose cleaner. The group also attended the Dynamic Cheerleading Association Camp where the varsity squad for the second consecutive year received the title of Grand Champions. n M W r1 M 0 z o 133 Do clubs at Rogers measure up? A meeting Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m. ... a dance after the game ... a meeting tonight at the “Y” . . . a Spirit Breakfast before school Wednesday . . . skiing at 6:00 . . . Clubs at Rogers sounded busy, but were they really accomplishing their goals? It’s not fair to judge all organizations as a whole, yet there are a few basic goals that each club should have. Members make the club. It's not only important that an organization have enough members, but also that these members be qualified and willing to participate. Certain groups like Honor Society, Student Senate or VICA placed specific restrictions on membership, but most clubs were open to almost anyone. Why, then, didn’t more students join? No longer is it valid for a student to stereotype himself as a “non-joiner” or a “joiner.” One needn’t be a “social butterfly” to participate in the majority of organizations at Rogers, but simply be interested enough to get involved. Students said they had no time, had a job, didn’t want to join unless their friends joined, or just didn’t consider it important. The same sophomore who entered Rogers insecure and awed at the number of clubs at his fingertips may have decided to sit back for a year, eventually considering himself above joining,” until finally, as a senior, he was so apathetic that clubs didn’t even matter. Apparently the first obstacle to be overcome in a club’s search for members was its general availability. Meetings should have been publicized well in advance, and even more important, incoming students needed to know more about Rogers than what was listed inside a blue plastic-covered Rogers folder. It is essential that a club clarify its basic purpose and eligibility requirements, not merely to attract members, but to know what to do with the members once it has them. Does the club somehow benefit the school or community? Do its members perform some service or meet simply for recreation? Is.it what the students want? Such questions should be reviewed constantly, not only to re- assess existing clubs but also to provide the opportunity for new interest groups and organizations. Certain clubs which had been relatively successful in previous years were never organized. Where was the AFS club? How about a ’77 or '78 Tri-Hi-Y or a Chess Club? This situation, most often blamed on the apathy epidemic of a disinterested student body, actually stemmed from a simple ignorance of clubs here at Rogers. Examination within the club is also needed. No matter how dynamic a sponsor is, it is the officers who should unite the group. Too often an organization’s success was measured in oversimplified terms, such as which made the most money, recruited the most members or sponsored the most parties. The ultimate decision, however, depends solely on you, the students. Get involved. Make changes. Remember, you make the club. You determine its final and lasting success. Therese Kwiecien 13a National Honor Society Being a part of the Jesse B. Rogers chapter of Honor Society means different things to different members. One thing it should mean to all of them, however, is work — and cooperation, of course. Chosen on the basis of character, service, and academic achievement, each member is assigned to a specific committee at the organizational Pot Luck Dinner. Each committee must take full responsibility for carrying out a certain activity, sometimes recruiting additional members for increased efficiency. A report is then filed by the chairman. This outlines procedures used and makes suggesions for future chairmen. Honor Society began work early by guiding visiting bands during the Summer Festival, ushering at the Miss Indiana Pageant, and helping to organize the Kiddie Parade. Throughout the year members ushered at all musical and theatrical programs at Rogers. The production of “Bits ‘n’ Pieces”, the annual all-school talent show, highlighted money-making activities, which also included the sale of Rogers pennants and window stickers. Besides sponsoring a “Parents' Night” for both football and basketball. Honor Society members collected needed funds through the Annual Scholarship Drive in the spring. Although most accomplishments, including the solemn initiation ceremony, were largely traditional, the group hopefully formed at least one tradition of its own. Tickets were sold for a Spirit Breakfast held during the week of basketball sectionals. 1 HONOR SOCIETY: Front row - Tammy Cinthner. Lynn Dolezal. Karen Nicholson. Charlotte Shaw.

Seniors, juniors and sopho- mores then selected eight represen- tatives from each of their respective classes. The vice-president of the senior class presides over meetings, and Senate members elect a vice-pres- ident and secretary-treasurer. Infrequent meetings hindered yet not altogether halted Senate activ- ities. Besides sponsoring Switch- With-A-Parent Day, Senate members raised funds by sponsoring a dance and selling blue and gold pompons. Although Senate-sponsored homecoming activities remained the same, changes were made in next year s procedure to elect a queen. Only senior girls will be eligible for the crown while sophomores and juniors will be elected princesses. Plans for the annual semi-formal proved unsuccessful, but members channeled a large amount of time and energy into fighting to reopen the canteen. 2 Waiting patiently during a basketball game.

Senior initiates chosen in March had to be in their second year on either the RYB or Catalyst, recommended by the sponsor, ranked academically in the upper third of their class, and pass a qualifying test. Quill and Scroll Mr. Bob Kaser, News- Dispatch columnist, was guest speaker at the initiation ceremony, a banquet held in honor of the initiates and their parents. New members will share responsibility in planning the initiation of eligible juniors and seniors at the year’s end and to preserve this new tradition. Catalyst Probably the most noticeable alteration in the Catalyst’s appearance was its new� texture and color. The newspaper was printed on newsprint, replacing the previously used heavy white paper. Although more and larger pictures were used, the average issue actually consisted of fewer pages than in preceding years. Another innovation concerned a fairer division of work. Staff positions were changed each semester to allow for a richer learning experience and an opportunity for more students to sample several phases of journalistic skills in one year. According to Catalyst sponsor Martha Rudd, I don’t think students should be cemented into one position all year long, but should have the opportunity to exercise their talents in different positions.” 1 Catalyst staffer Sarah Whitfield intently exam- ines the finished product. 2 Ed Hart is only one of many staff members who utilize the convenient business phone in the Catalyst office. 3 CATALYST: Front row — Cathy Slisher, Mari- lyn Rhodes.

Club, which participated in the Skills Olympics. Besides planning a successful Christ- mas party, the group conducted a meeting every two or three weeks as needed. According to Sponsor Dave Sobecki, V.I.C.A. helped to bring my classes closer together.” V.I.C.A. is recognized by the U.S. Government as an integral part of the total vocational education program. Its purpose is to promote leadership qualities in vocational students Membership is open only to students participating in the CHO-ICT program. Local officers are elected to conduct parliamentary meetings regularly. State and national student officers are also elected. For the first time in five years a candidate from Rogers was not elected to a state office. Various money-making pro- jects helped to finance the annual Employer Appreciation Banquet, en- tirely planned by V.I.C.A. members. The year was highlighted by the Regional V.I.C.A. Skills Olympics held at Rogers in April. Visiting V.I.C.A. clubs joined to compete in nearly forty areas of work for prizes ranging from tools to trophies. Regional winners then competed at a state level in Ind- ianapolis, followed by national and international contests. 1 VICA, CHO-1CT, 1215: Front row — Lynn Oelschlaher (secretary).

Other general tasks included correcting and filing schedules, separating report cards and occasionally guiding a new student around the school. Office Assistants Depending on the time of day office assistants could be found answering office phones, taking out the mail, searching for students’ schedules, using the ditto machine, typing teachers’ bulletins or rushing through the halls with a call-out slip. Sometimes assistants were even called upon to guide visitors through the school. Office assistants gained practical office experience. 1 COUNSELORS' ASSISTANT Front row — Lisa Ensign. Angel Schnick.

They filed material in the vertical file and often had the responsibility of copying term papers or magazine articles in the library office. Attendance Assistants Each hour attendance assistants were assigned a different job. No longer did they collect IBM attend- ance cards from each class. Cards were brought to the attendance office by a student from the class where assistants alphabetized names and typed attendance lists. The girls then delivered these lists, keeping them up-to-date with hourly attendance sheets. They also de- livered call-out slips for Mr. Ash. 143 1 GERMAN CLUB: Front row — Leanne Selma.

It was not uncommon to see students wandering about the school toting bags full of Toblerone chocolate and licorice. About $700 of their profit paid for transportation and lodging when the group spent a weekend in the German community of Frankenmuth, Michigan, during December. They observed the culture first-hand by visiting a German church, museum, and craft shop. The group also sampled German cuisine. Tastes varied, as the opinion of the food ranged from “Mmm, very good” to “not so hot.” Spanish Club Like other foreign language clubs, candy sales were the Spanish Club’s major money-raising project. The group made about $350 which helped to provide for a student scholarship to South America. One of the club’s cultural activities was a Spanish Christmas party complete with a home-made pinata. Members observed Pan American Day in mid-April by giving reports on Spanish history and culture. A Spanish dinner prepared by club members topped off the day. French Club The newly-organized French Club met once a month after school to plan projects. The main money-raising effort was candy sales. Proceeds went towards a dinner at Bon Appetit, a French restaurant in Chicago, and a roller skating party in New Buffalo. Students also treated each other to a progressive dinner of French dishes prepared by members. The dinner consisted of five courses, each of which was served at a different home. i HI-Y: Front row — Glen Fabian, Mike Phillips. Winston Borrero, Dan Kniola and Kevin Warnke.

The money was raised by group- sponsored dances and programs sold at sports events. Hi-Y also participated in a Youth and Government program held at Rogers in February. They were host to other Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y groups from around the state. Participants created a mock legislature with a governor in charge. Committees wrote bills and tried to get them enacted. The purpose of the program was to teach the participants how government operates. OEA OEA provided students with on-the- job office experience. Members were employed by local businesses which offered jobs in the office occupations field. Jobs ranged from secretary receptionists to file clerks and switchboard operators. Working a minimum of fifteen hours a week throughout the school year, participants earned current wages for beginning employees. Eighteen students met once every two weeks at school for classroom instruction with Mrs. Ruth Galles, OEA coordinator. TRI-HI-Y '76 Tri-Hi-Y provided senior girls with an opportunity to have fun, keep physically fit and help others through community service efforts. The girls met twice a month on Tuesdays at the YMCA, using the facilities for swimming and other recreational activities. At Thanksgiving proceeds from a dance sponsored in the fall were donated to the Salvation Army. 4 Hi-Y members Kevin Warnke, Chuck Baldwin and Glen Fabian with Sponsor Mr. Peters dis- play their letters proudly. 5 OEA student-employee Shirley Jones works on the files at Sports Unlimited. 147 1 MATH CLUB: Front row — Craig Long, Sandy Kennedy, Sue Pritchard ami Carla (toss.

Subjects ranged from acupuncture to astronomy to embalming, w ith speakers including Dr. Robert Hawthorne from P.N.C.’s chemistry department. Dr. John Tucker, Chancellor of P.N.C., and a representative from Carlisle Funeral Home. Fund-raising projects included Science Fair concessions, a dance, and the sale of recycled stationary. Members also donated their time by participating in Meals On Wheels Tag Day in April. 3 Before conducting a Math Club meeting, spon- sor Miss Croff carefully reviews the agenda Math Club St. Valentine's Day Math-acre ”, 1976 . . . history repeated? Competition was just as fierce yet somewhat less violent as Math Club members hosted eleven schools at the second annual Rogers Invitational Math Contest in February. Individual and team tro- phies were awarded, and Rogers won the major award for the school with the most total points. Interested members competed in regional contests throughout the year, although non- members were also eligible. Rogers mathletes have been so successful that a separate trophy case was con- structed in the math office. Materi- als were donated by former Rogers math teacher Hubert Griffis. Though this was only Math Club’s second year in existence, much was accomplished. In addition to com- pletly planning the Invitational, members attended a Christmas party in December, toured Cook Nuclear Center in April, and listened to guest speakers with math-oriented careers w'ho highlighted occasional meetings. « 149 1 ORCHESTRA First row — Debbie Sharp, Christen Jones, Mary Whitfield, Eileen Brown and Julie Wedow.

Orchestra In previous years Rogers’ orchestra has been small. This year was no exception as the group consisted of about five active members. Because of size, the orchestra had to combine with Elston to perform the Christmas and Bicentennial concerts. Several students put forth extra effort. Kathy Mark participated in the pit orchestra for the school musical Pajama Game. Christen Jones, Mary Whitfield, Keith Mosher and Kathy Mark competed and took home first and second place awards from the N.I.S.B.O.V.A. and State Music Contests. Band The house lights began to dim as late patrons took their seats. Suddenly the spotlights hit the balconies and glistening brass played the Big R.” The concert continued . . . then all was finished and the spectators filed out of the auditorium. History was made as Rogers’ Band performed their theme, Music for a Bicentennial Celebration. ” The year started out slowly as the band provided half time and pre- game shows for the last home football games of the season. These late, outdoor performances left the musicians little time in preparing for Premier V.” Although the band had a limited number of practices, band leader Tommy Hendricks considered the concert “a total success.” The first concert, “Music for a Bicentennial Celebration,” was named Classic Night.” During this concert Rogers’ Band performed a piece never attempted by a high school band. The song was entitled, “Song of Democracy.” Other concerts were “Pop Night and a bicentennial concert given by a combination of Rogers and Elston bands. 3 Tom Oakley repairs his trombone as Matt Tracy gives instructions. 4 Scott Miller and Hoy Chalko prepare to pla and march to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy. 5 A smile on Mr. Hendricks’ face indicates the band has played well 151 1 JAZZ-ROCK BAND: Front row — Beth Black- burn, Travis Tucker, Amy Hendricks and Tara Lonzo Back row — Tom Oakley, Dave Pry- bylla, Jeff Miller, Mike Manthey.

Fans clapped and swayed to such popular hits as Smoke of The Water,” “Does Anybody really know what Time It Is? and 25 or 64.” Performances included the use of an electric synthesizer and two electric guitars , in addition to the traditional Pep Band instruments. Meeting twice a week before school under the supervision of Mr. Hendricks, Pep Band members also accompanied the Raiderettes as occasional half-time entertainment at basketball games. Innovations marked the year for Raiderettes. Not only were new uniforms obtained, but the number of girls selected from band to partici- pate increased from ten to twelve. More advanced routines were adopted as the Raiderettes graduated from the use of line formations to diagonals and circles. During football season the girls practiced twice a day with the entire band while concert season limited their practice to before- school meetings. The Pep Band, accompanied the Raiderettes at basketball games. Almost one-half of the girls started early by attending a summer camp in southern Indiana to improve routines and learn new techniques. Jazz-Rock Band Any band member interested in performing a heavier” type of music was encouraged to join Jazz-Rock Band, sixteen students who met in- dependently twice a week before school. Included in their reper- toire were tunes like Where is the Love and Teonova. Sponsored by Mr. Hendricks, these musicians presented their accomplishments to the public in a Jazz-Rock concert at Rogers in the Spring. 3 PEP BAND Front row — Mike Miller. Mary Madaus.

Their selection of music included folk tunes, classical arrangements and songs from popular musicals such as Fiddler on the Roof, “Camelot” and Porgy and Bess. For the first time, sophomores were eligible. They were chosen upon the recommendation of their junior high school choral instructor. Others were selected on the basis of an audition in March. During the Christmas season, Minnesingers kept busy performing eleven concerts in three weeks. They entertained at the Elk’s Club, Skwiat Legion Post, St. Anthony's Hospital and at several churches around Michigan City. The money earned from these performances financed a trip to Ball State University where the group attended a choral concert, toured the campus’ music department and performed for Martinsville High School in Muncie, Indiana. Other performances were given at school concerts and at Barker Junior High School for their choral members. In previous years the Minnesingers practiced only before school, but this year they met as a regularly scheduled class. Their repertoire included traditional patriotic melodies such as “This Land is Your Land” and Where in the World and current popular tunes such as “Feelings and “I Write the Songs. Many of the songs featured soloists from the group. As a Bicentennial tribute. Director Dale Trueax arranged a rendition of TV commercials saluting America’s 200th year. The piece was entitled “A Tribute to the American Commercial.” 1 Director Dale Trueax strives for perfect har- mony at an A Cappella rehearsal. 2 Blending their voices at a Minnesinger practice are sopranos Sue Hager, Susan Hay, Debbie Woodfield and Amy Hendricks along with altos Cheryl Mallory, Heidi Woodruff and Mary Crosley. 1S4 3 A CAPPELLA: Front row — Barb Parry.

Club members decorated the halls with streamers and hung posters commemorating prominent Black figures: Three days were set aside as Afro Day, Corn-Row Day and Red, Black and Green Day. At Christmas time the club sold kerosene lamps, both antique and modern, to raise money for future activities. Student Store As an alternative to cafeteria lunches, many students preferred snacks purchased at the Student Store. Besides catering to hungry people, the store also sold conventional items such as school • supplies, gym suits, T-shirts and sweaters. The average daily income, approximately $150, paid the expenses for printing The Catalyst and purchased scholarship pins. Student store workers were selected by Mr. Sims on the basis of dependability, trustworthiness, initiative and honesty. Audio-visual coordinator Hank Strugalski chose AV Assistants on the basis of a willingness to work and an interest in audio-visual communication techniques. Three or four students worked in the AV office each hour. They learned to operate the video tape camera and rethread film, helped to make ID cards by taking pictures and laminating them, and learned to make transparencies for overhead projectors. Other responsibilities included answering the phone, running errands, helping to develop pictures, delivering films to teachers and occasionally making deliveries to the Media Center. 1 Patiently waiting on customer Ed Hart are Stu- dent Store workers Debbie Sharp, Gail Ray and Lix Wardean 2 AV Assistant Les Heichel studies his subjects intently while filming. 3 BLACK AWARENESS Front row — Dwayne Hurt (Pres ).

Another added, “It s our responsibil- ity to raise money for the class.” Junior Concessions began fund- raising during the summer with the Miss Indiana Pageant and Summer Fes- tival. Among the various projects, the Home and Sports Show and Basket- ball Sectionals were the largest money makers. Profits paid for the activities of the Junior Class. Most of the money earned went toward the Junior- Senior Prom, and some of it will be used for the ’77 Senior Issue of the Catalyst and the Senior Dance. It has been asked what the Letterman’s Club did besides sell programs and usher at basketball games. Anyone who had earned a letter in any sport was considered part of the Letterman’s Club. Although service was completely voluntary, Sponsor Rick Lenard stated, “No one wants to do it.” For the first time female athletes participated in the club. Selling programs and receiving tips helped to increase funds. The club was formed to supply athletic teams with materials such as uniforms and equipment. The main concern, however, was “paying bills from the previous years.” Because of the lack of funds, more sports will be added only if the “economy permits.” 159 1 MAT RATS Front row — Carole Tortorici.

Only junior and senior girls having already received a credit in physical education were eligible to become assistants. They led the class in exercises, demonstrated skills and took part in games as team captains. The girls also refereed games and served as pool assistants during swimming instruction. Other responsibilities included taking attendance, typing, and running errands. They received additional credit plus their class grade. Swim Timers Without Swim Timers, meets would not have been complete. As the name suggests, their main function was timing at home swimming events. The two or more girls stationed at each lane had the responsibility of timing swimming events, recording and averaging times. But the Timers did more than their name implied. They also manned the false start rope, kept diving scores and occasionally announced at swim meets. Mat Rats The Mat Rats consisted of twenty- one girls who met once a month in the upper gym to practice gymnastics. Cheerleaders were required to be in the club, but other joined for personal satisfaction and fun. The girls assisted each other in perfecting such stunts as aerial somersaults, handsprings and flips. 4 Mat Rats Instructor John Jones gives Sue Lilo- vich some assistance. 5 Laura Mickus waits for timer Kristi Kill to dou- ble check her recorded time. 161 Golf Club Some joined in hopes of learning how to play. Others simply wanted the comradery or the extra opportunity for practice. Whatever their reasons. Golf Club members met once each week beginning in March at Municipal Golf Course, weather permitting. Ski Club Once the January snows settled, there was no stopping Rogers’ Ski Club members. On six different Thrusday evenings, veteran skiers and novices alike ventured to Ski Valley for a few hours of wet, wintery excitement. Lift tickets and equipment rental were available to members at reduced rates. The group elected officers at an organizational meeting in December, but interest in additional meetings slowly dwindled. Plans for a weekend skiing trip in early March to Cannonsburg, Michigan, never materialized because of a lack of snow. 1 Soaring through the air.

Standing here waiting to make the long walk, we re busy making last minute ad- justments. Nervous chatter adds to the chaos of the overcrowded hall. When the line finally starts mov- ing, the procession is slow.and the butterflies in my stomach grow worse with each step. Only five minutes 'til I’m in the gymnasium. My gosh, look at all those people! I wonder w here my mom and dad are? I hope they can see me. There they are over in the middle section. I should’ve known — my mom’s crying already, and my little sister's running all over the place. Mr. Nowak's giving the signal. We re all supposed to lie seated. The speaker has already start- ed, and he's talking about the future- wkich is typical for graduation ex- exercises. Dr. Taub liegins to pass out our diplomas: John Abraham ........ I’aula Adams.......Amy Allg x d Mark Anderson ...” WOW, it seems like just yester- day that I started my sophomore year. Those three years sure did go fast! I remember the first day I was Ilere it was such a big switch from junior high. Trying to find my class- es in this giant maze was impossible. Now I know it like the palm of my hand. Well. I made it through the first couple hours okay liecause my' classes were fairly close together. Hut when lunch time came, it was tragic. I didn't know what lunch hours my friends had, and I was scared of being all alone. The Caf- teria was a chaotic mess, and I decided that I could never like it there. Just think. I had some of my best times there: Like the time Cathy crammed a whole banana in her mouth and ate it all in a minute and five seconds; and all the people I ate with, from the first day I was by myself to when there were twenty of us eating together. “Pamela Calloway........Steven Cioch.......Roberta Cowin........Mary Croslev How about the time Daw ne and I missed the bus twice the first week? Those sure were long w alks! That's when I learned to gather all my stuff last hour and then-run to the bus. I only missed one other time that year. I wasn't very active that year, but I was in Steering Commit- tee, and I II never forget the Junior-Senior Prom. The theme was Wizard of Oz,” and we had to dress up like munchkins. I felt like a little girl again in that outfit- mv little white pinafore and short dress. The l est part of the whole night was tearing it dow n liecause we were there till 3 a.m., and then sponsors allowed us to go to post prom and eat. “Barry Felton......Ronnie Flores......Andrea Foster........Doug Franckowski .... I rememlier my first six weeks' grades were not very good. My par- ents were disap|x inted. but I tried to tell them that my classes were difficult. I was still trying to adjust. I made sure I did better in the future. They were finally satisfied with straight A s. So when the administration decided to try S.W.A.P. Day. I saw the chance to make my parents understand Well. I talked my mom into coming. After giving her all the details and draw- ing her an extensive map, she finally consented. When she came home that afternoon and told me how she sat dumbfounded through my Geometry, Chemistry and German classes, I knew that S.W.A.P. Day was going to lx profitable. “Nancy Halfacre ..... Pamela Harsha......Joi Hensel ....Ed- ward Hill .... When I returned my junior year, I was so happy to see the friends I missed during the summer that I even liked school. I remem- ber the football opener of the season when we played Elston and beat them 30-0. I always did like football games. I think it’s because they were outside. Some nights could get pretty cold, and there we were trying to sell pop when the temp- erature was 35 . Football was great! A group of us would always go on the opposing side, stand by the cheerleaders and start cheering for Rogers. We almost got lx at up a couple times. I remember one night after we were cheering that a couple of guys started chasing us, and they grabbed Cindy and carried her back to their side. We never laughed so much in our lives. Basketball concessions was com- pletely different from football con- cessions. I think the main reason was that Mr. Peters was relatively quiet compared to loud-mouthed Lonzo. Boy, could he shout up a storm! Sometimes I almost feared him as much as God. But Cheryl and I had a system; we'd pop popcorn when we first got there, then leave to watch the Ix'ginning of the game. A minute lx - fore halftime we’d come back but leave lx fore cleanup. We only missed about 3 or -I minutes of the game. “Robin Laughlin.....Nancy Lenke......Michael Lisak..... Shirley Loniewski .... I had some bummer classes that year because I had to take a writing course, and I hate to write. My junior year ended too quickly. About two months before school was over, I had all my teachers wrapped around my little finger. Barb and I could get away with anything: eat in class, crack jokes, get up and leave early. I wonder why they let us do it? If I had been the teacher, I wouldn't have let us. I remember the big ordeal of getting my drivers license because that was the only- class that I was constantly afraid I would mess up. All I could think alxnit was getting into an accident. “Michael Marriot ......Jay Miller.....Kathleen Mitchell ....... I tow ard Morgan .... Springtime brought the quest- ion of the prom. The juniors decide the theme and how to con- struct it. After many suggestions we came up with “Aloha Hawaii. I remeinlx r when we were painting the scenery; we had just finished a whole wall of flowers and mountains w hen Therese slipped and fell, resulting in our completed masterpiece !x ing split in half. We were so mad we could have cried. Well, in spite of all our worries, the prom was a success. I rememlx r how excited I w as when I was asked to join Honor Scxiety. My mom and I sat and cried, but that’s not unusual lx - cause my mom always cries. I didn’t want the year to end; I still had so many things to do. and I hated to lose all my senior friends. “Barbara Parry.......Mar Pellar.....Michael Phillips....... James Pischke Well I’m “top dog’’ now, and I feel as if I’m on the top of the world. Time has gone so fast; I can’t Ixdieve that I’m going to graduate. This has lx en the best year of my life! I’ve lx en more active than ever — working, going to dances, clubs, parties and games — and now it’s going to end. I did learn to have more school spirit. In the lx ginning of the year I went to every home foot- ball game. One night it was raining, but I went despite the pro- tests of my mother. Well, it was a great game, but the next time I'll listen to my mother or take an um- brella. “Grace Taylor......Ellis Thomas.......Gary Tobalski....... Donald Turner ... I rememlx r the hassle I had with my mom and dad alxmt college. Mom wanted me to go to Valpo, and dad would've liked to see me go to I.U. But I finally decided on my own to go to Purdue. Wish I knew what I wanted to do! Mrs. Presser wishes that. too. The most memorable basketball game of the season was when we beat ELSTON. What a game! Up by two, down by two all night long. As s x n as we won, everyone was on the gym floor yelling and hugging one another while Elston st xxl in dis- lx lief. What a night! I don't think I'll ever forget it. “Daw ne Woolman......... Only two away, and my high school years will lx over. “Patricia Wooten.... I sure had some g xxl times here. I'm going to miss all my teachers and friends. It will never lx the same again. “Julie Wozniak.....” That’s me! Julie Wozniak I 0 3 I 5 Mr Nowak presents tin morning announce- ments.

In addition to cooking for approximately seven hundred fifty Rogers students, they also prepared as many as twenty-one hundred satellite lunches” to be distributed among six Michigan City elementary schools. After lunches were prepared and served, afternoons were spent cleaning up. Good morning, Rogers High School. Arriving at 8 a.m. every day, Rogers’ five secretaries began greeting callers with this familiar phrase. Answering the phone was only a small portion of the duties performed by these ladies. Their other jobs ranged from locating substitute teachers to acting as an all around information center. Assistant principal Verne Ash summed it up when he stated, “An office without secretaries is like a car without wheels.” Secretaries act as information centers “Mr. Cooley, come to the loading dock, please.” “My locker is jammed!” “Go ask Mr. Siddall for a table.” “Get the custodian to unlock the door.” “My key is stuck!” A custodian’s day is filled with cries for help. Rogers’ custodial staff responded to these and many other cries in addition to performing maintenance work. A new responsibility was added to the list as the administration “cracked-down on wandering” students. Custodians acted as hall monitors assuring that students in the halls had passes. Custodians come to the rescue 1 Theresa Greene. 2 Carol Snyder. 3 Delores Kientz 4 jo Novak. 5 Pat Gangwer. 6 CAFETERIA STAFF: Front row — Adena Kienitz. Lois Johnson. Dorothy Moore.

Lockers, and lots of them. They have provided ample space per person for coat, books and an array of other objects, including week-old oranges and leftover Frosted Mini- Wheats. The latter brought fuzzy, beady-eyed creatures known as mice, and suddenly the space was not quite so ample. Not only mice, but people have invaded others’ terri- tory. Eyes have witnessed one lock- er with four occupants. One was a girl who had moved three times, not once using her own combination. Another student relieved agonized neighbors when he cleaned out his three rotted horticulture flowers. The lockers by the cafeteria have been jammed to capacity during dances.

These concrete structures had a great fall. Building constructors and qualified men Were contracted to put them together again. Returning to Rogers to reconstruct broken sidewalks proved an inconvenience for contractors and students alike. The sidewalks and patios surrounding the Rogers complex were constructed on a clay base. Since the cement of the sidewalks is much heavier than the clay, it shifted and sank (especially during heavy rains or snows) causing the surfaces to be cracked and uneven. The repair, in many cases, included the blocking off of certain areas while entire sections of the sidewalks were broken, removed and completely reconstructed. Not only were some parking spaces made unavailable, but blockades sometimes extended into driveways making two-way traffic temporarily impossible.

Because of the 18- year-old drinking age. Michigan served as the Friday and Saturday night party supplier. Wayside stores distributed liquor without even checking for identification. Resourceful young people found two ways to overcome the identification obstacle — fakes and friends. Although it is still illegal to drink in Indiana before reaching 21, some continue to take the chance of transporting the contra- band into Michigan City. Drinking has become a prominent part of teenage social life, and Michigan remains the major supplier of student booze.” Pam Pritchard Sue Pritchard Dale Prybylla Kathy Prybylla Kevin Prybylla Chris Putz Julie Radke Laura Bain Deeta Rainbnlt Curtis Ragon Brigette Batis Gayle Ray Darlene Belue Tina Rebich Marcus Reichert Tyrone Reid Vickie Reid Teresa Ren Kathy Reubcr Sue Rhcxla Cindv Richardson Tim Rightsell Davit!

Designed by a committee rep- resenting teachers, administrators and the first student body, the crest displays three significant figures. The caduceus, identifying the medical profession, represents Dr. Jesse B. Rogers, after whom the school is named. The lamp of know- ledge is symbolic of learning and the lighthouse of Michigan City.

In addition to taking all under- class and senior portraits. Root Photographers spent many days shoot- ing candids for the RYB. During school, at dances, games and as- semblies, it was not uncommon to see camera-shy students dodging the photographer while the extroverts flashed winning smiles at the camera. Since 1972 Root has provided com- plete photographic service to the RYB.

Students treated it as a lounge, stated Mrs. Cofer She went on to say that in the past students came in during study halls and before and after school simply because they had nothing else to do. This w as almost eliminated by requir- ing every student to have a pass signed by a teacher. An increase in the number of classes with specific assignments requiring library assist- ance cut down on slothfulness and added to the studious atmosphere. Mrs. Cofer partially attributed this increase to improved facilities and a larger selection of books and ref- erence material. The collection has increased from 3,000 to 7,000 books, more than doubling since opening in '1971. Because of improved condi- tions, Mrs. Cofer believed that the library can serve every department better and was “glad that the lib- rary was finally being used properly.

As the winter brought cold weather, more and more students took this teacher’s advice. One morning a rock band rehearsal was cancelled due to cold musicians and instruments. Although thermostats were to be set at 68 degrees, classrooms ranged from 58 to 77 degrees. Many teachers found the solution, and with the aid of a screw driver re-adjusted the “unadjustable thermostats.

In this era of pooling transportation, the buses offered an inexpensive and entertaining ride for only one dollar. A sign-up list was placed in the main office, and the cheerleaders took the list to the students on lunch hours. Although the list was readily available, the number of passengers declined, especially during winter sports.

Dressed in gym shoes, ski masks and jock straps they raced by the auditorium, past the English rooms and into the cafeteria. Their lookout at the cafeteria doors made sure the doors were open. Their second accomplice in the get- away car sped them away to safety as they raced out of the school. Mr. Nowak knew who they were 'within five minutes.' The punishment was one extra week of school The 1976 RYB was published by Josten’s American Yearbook Company. Paper used was 80 pound gloss finish. Laurel type was used for copy and cut lines. When not artwork or For- matt, the headlines were printed in 24 point Laurel Bold and 60 point Laurel Bold (Athletic Section). Portraits were done by Root Photo- graphers, Chicago, Illinois. Our thank you’s go to Mrs. Mannwieler at the Indiana High School Journalism Institute and Dave South- erland of the Ball State Photography Seminar. Also, Mike Hackleman, our company representative and Ray Dobbs our photography representative, both of whose patience was far beyond the call of duty. Special thanks go to Jeff Olin for keeping a smile on our faces; Nancy Halfacre for her great com- promises; Tim Werner for his delight- ful melodies and especially to Jill Wetzel, who is the first three-year RYB member. Also thanks go to alumni Karry Ritter for his help and humor. 1976 RYB Staff 'N Editor-in-Chief Copy Editor ....
