TABLE OF CONTENTS Administration SENIOR CLASS OF 1961 Rolling Prairie High School Rolling Prairie, Indiana DEDICATED To our Mothers and Fathers... whose interests have been in the shaping of our lives---whose love and encouragement have been inspirational-— and whose endless sacrifices have made possible our twelve years of education---we respectfully dedicate The Rolling Log of 1961. Through our yearbook we wish to show our appreciation and love by taking you on a pictorial tour of our school................................................ fllEET THE 0 OTimsTpflTion The art of living is based on time. The dictionary makes the meaning of time quite clear: The period when something occurs Getting your lessons, reading a book, extra politeness, helping others at home, school or in the community takes only the amount of time you want to allow for it. The art of living is based upon the time it takes to do a good job regardless of its nature. It is our sincere hope we have inspired you, while as a student in Rolling Prairie school, to make better use of your time. John R.

Indiana University During the year the shop boys, under the direction of Mr. Wallace Sacks, work in the areas of drafting, woodworking, metal working, (arc and acetylene welding), and crafts. Grades 7 and 8 come to the shop for 9 weeks only and study drafting, planning projects for 3 weeks with the remaining 6 weeks spent in project work. Project work consists of working-either wood, metal, or plastics. Exhibits, displaying the boys accomplishments, are shown several times during the school year to P.T.A. groups and to the student body. 8 ART Hr. Jack Grimes S.B.--Art Social Studies, Indiana State Teachers College M.S.--Education, Indiana State Teachers College LaPorte County Teacher for the past nine years. Art, beauty, peace, and happiness go hand in hand. This statement in itself justifies an art program. As is common to the spoken or written work, art has no national boundaries or racial barriers. For the past two years Rolling has had an art program in the high school so that the students could be exposed to this universal media of communications. The two art classes did sketching, copper tooling, paper mache, and just plain drawing. As each important event of the school year approach?, Mr. Grimes, and his art classes are called upon for posters and decorations. Above, the art class displays some of its 'hristmas creations. Billie R. West BS ISTC Commerce MS ISTC Commerce, Social Studies Sponsor, Yearbook - Newspaper Pour areas make up the curriculum of the business education department- typing, bookkeeping, shorthand, and office practice. This all begins with typing for the sophomores who want to prepare themselves for lucrative positions in the business field, although typing is also taken by students who just want to know how to type. Then for the juniors come debits, credits, ledgers, journals, accounts, and HOMEWORK from the shorthand and bookkeeping classes. But with all of this, they end the year with the ability to keep a set of books, figure income tax, and improve their coming future. The last course given to the seniors is office practice. From business letters to the adding machine, then the dictaphone, they do it all. Then, after graduation, they are prepared to face the business world. COMMERCE 10 With toe final pages of the Rolling Log on the way to the press, the staff was able to give a sign of relief. They had spent long hours of careful planning in order to develop the best annual ever published by Rolling Prairie seniors. There had to be pictures taken, stories written, pages set up, and typing, but Mr. West managed to guide us to complete a successful edition. t YEARBOOK STAFF NEWSPAPER STAFF Headlines and deadlines became popular words to students who helped publish the school newspaper. This was the first year for a newspaper staff to have the opportunity of meeting daily and receiving credit for their work. Students could always be seen during second period in the halls, gathering facts for a story. Thus, the Bulldog Barks was published bi-weekly featuring many new columns. 11 GUIDANCE i James Louis Nitsos B.S. Purdue M.S. University of Southern California To the passerby, the door marked 0.4 may seem mysterious, but this is the information office. The Guidance Office, where Mr. Nitsos awaits to help you to help yourself. How much knowledge you acquire in high school and how you intend to use this acquired knowledge are problems that involve some pretty important decisions. The Guidance Office can supply the pertinent information necessary to make those decisions intelligent ones. Of course, the decision is made by you, not by Mr. Nitsos. He will help the student to face his problem realistically and to arrive at an intelligent solution. The Guidance department also keeps a comprehensive portfolio on each student. His past achievements are shown on his permanent record card, and his capabilities for future accomplishments are reflected in his I.Q. tests, aptitude tests,etc. The student s other interests are shown by his extracurricular activities, hobbies, preference tests and interviews in the Guidance Office. Our file in the Guidance Office is information on job requirements, available openings in various fields, and rewards from different occupations. The Guidance department, room 0.4, is always open to students in need of planning for the future. 12 LIBRARIAN Earl Raymond Reed B.S. Degree--Oakland City College M.S. Degree--Ball State Teachers College Students who wish to advance their knowledge find the library very useful. Pamphlets and magazines are kept at the students 'disposal. Educational filmstrips to show in class are also available. The science students, in particular, benefit by the school's participation in the Traveling Science Library. This library consists of 200 books. Every three months fifty new science books are delivered to our school and the books used by our school during the previous quarter are sent to another school for their use. There were ten assistant librarians working under the supervision of Mr. Reed.They were to be seen either checking our books, helping students find information,straightening the shelves, typing for Mr. Reed, or performing other minor duties to keep the library running smoothly. 13 MATH And Mr. C. E. Isom A.B. -- Central Normal -- hath Social Studies, Physical Education M.S. -- Indiana University Education Teacher at Rolling for 29 years SCIENCE Mr. Wm. Russell Wells A.B. -- Hanover -- Chemistry Geology, and History M.S. -- Indiana University Education Teacher at Rolling for 20 years An extensive mathematics curriculum at Rolling this year consisted of two years of Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, and Business Mathematics. It has been said by Freshman, If poison doesn't work, try Algebra , but later admitted they understood. Advanced Algebra students mastered the quadratic equation and division of radicals. Plane and solid geometricians proved theorems about circles, parralleograms, icosahedrons, and dodecahedrons. In business mathematics students were exposed to every day problems in buying, selling, planning, and figuring. Math is important because it makes a student think quantitatively. It furnishes and builds the interests, vocabulary, accuracy, and means of communication and developes the need for logical proof which are of value to every person. In Solid Geometry class Larry, Cherie, and Bill are studying the circles of a Sphere. 14 Mr. Robert Gorden B.S. — North Manchester Physical Education and Biology This is his fourth year at Rolling Mr. Bradley West B.A. — Notre Dame--Physics, Chemistry, Geology M.S. — Notre Dame Teaches Physics Mr. Kenneth Eckert B.S. — Ball State Social Studies and Math This is his first year at Rolling t dissected frogs and worms. Yet by doing this they learned more than just by looking at pictures or reading. The Juniors in chemistry can be given credit for creating those fragrant odors for the halls and classrooms whenever they mixed certain chmicals in their experiments. Seniors in physics seem to be way out when they start talking at lunch time about scintillation, atoms, and splnthariseopes. They even began their career as scientists by working all year on Operation Melectropoise , a scientific project under the direction of Mr. Bradley West. 15 During the last twenty years that science has been at Rolling the department has kept changing. There has been the continuous need for new books and equipment in order to keep pace with the ever changing field of science. Twenty years ago one teacher taught all science classes in junior and senior high, but now there are four teachers doing full or part time work in this department. In the science curriculum this year are biology, chemistry, physics, and junior high science classes. Freshmen biology students had new and quite different experiences, especially when they The Science Club is designed to stimulate interest and develop initiative beyond the normal science classroom activities and is open to grades 9 to 12, This year the members planned a trip to a science laboratory and had charge of the. Science Fair held in the school. Each member was responsible for an entry into the Fair. photosynthesis . + + + -� ; + o SCO 6 HQ LIGHT CHIORQPhvh c.

Mr. Richard Lovin BMME--Jordan College of Music MMME—Indiana University Previously taught at Otterbein, Indiana MUSIC The music activities at Rolling Prairie High School are many and varied, with three main divisions participating--the band, choir, and dance band. It was a busy year for the sixty-one members of the Band. They marched for the Fall Festival Parade, presented half-time shows at our basketball games, presented three concerts, entered the Spring Contest, and gave an exchange convocation with Michigan City. This year the Choir became a girls chorus because of scheduling conflicts among the boys. This however, didn t discourage the girls interest, for they presented concerts, convocations, and entered contests with the desire for giving a fine performance. The Dance Band, organized two years ago, is an extra-curricular activity meeting once a week at an evening rehearsal. For any school sponsored function this group is available for only a small fee. Then this money is used for buying stands, more music, lights, and jackets, not for the students'personal use. 17 D. Fosnight, S. Stokes, A. Smith, M. Shroeder, F. Bealor, D. Schock, F. Scholtz, J.

Kitchenmaster 19 Physical education is required in the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades for both boys and girls. Activities are much the same in each of the grade groups, but as a group advances into the next higher grade, a greater degree of ability is expected. Variety , being this year's main theme for boy's physical education program, was carried out by such activities as flag football, gymnastics, wrestling, and individual and team games. The main attraction from this department was the new, popular trampoline which was used by both boys and girls. Also new in the program was co-ed dancing where the boys had an opportunity to learn the latest steps from the girls. The intramural program was carried out with activities such as ping pong, free throw, vollyball, and horseshoe tourneys. These activities were enjoyed by both boys and girls. G. A. A. The purpose of this association is to stimulate participation in girl's athletics and to promote ideals of health and sportsmanship. It provides an opportunity for participation in a recreational activities program including baseball, trampoline, basketball, gymnastics, volleyball, track, etc. Girls earn points for letters and plaques by participating regularly in organized activities, carrying on activities outside of school, and by passing achievement tests. The highlight of the year is the annual Christmas Formal Dance, at which a queen is crowned. Other events during the year are Fall Leadership camp, initiation of new members, district camps, playdays, a fundraising project, a mother-daughter dinner, and a district spring camp. The boys physical education department, like the girls, has a club. Its objectives are to give the students a chance to participate in sports not in our athletic system, to be able to attend college and professional athletic contests, and to keep as many boys as possible in our school in good physical condition. 21 Forrest Kantner B.S. Purdue M.S. Purdue F F A AGR I CULTURE The Vocational Agricultural Department is set up to provide instruction for boys who are interested in some phase of Agricultural Business. We realize that not every boy is going to farm for a living. However, over 40 per cent of all people employed are employed as a direct result of agriculture. To meet the individual needs of each student, a farming program designed to meet his needs and abilities and to take advantage of his opportunities is required. Each student is required to keep records, and if possible, own at least one animal and have one crop project. A further requirement is that the boys know how to weld and to operate machinery. The F.F.A. carries on many activities throughout the year. Perhaps the most important is the development of rural leadership among members. The chapter plans community services that are worthwhile, such as setting up a pest control program in the community. This year the chapter attended the International Livestock show in Chicago. Also some members attended the Farm Progress Show. This spring the chapter sent delegates to the state convention at Purdue, and they plan next fall to have delegates at the National F.F.A. Convention at Kansas City. SOCIAL Mr. Bud Keane Iowa State University, B.S. Indiana University, M.S. Mr. Jack Gary Bali State, B.S. World history. United States history, and United States government make up the social studies curriculum at Rolling. World history could be considered as similar to a tour of the world many years ago to see how different people lived and the contributions they made to our American civilization. From Mr. Raymond United States history, juniors become aware of the hardships Karnafel Ball State and controversial issues that the United States passed through B.S. in becoming a world power from the thirteen colonies. Seniors, after being in the government class, are more prepared for their place in political society. They have learned how the democratic government operates and so know their own responsibilities to it. Current events discussed every Friday, give the students an understanding of present national and international conditions. Mr. Keane instructs a Senior Civics class. Mr. Gary conducts a seventh grade history class. 23 HOME E C . Home economics is offered to the seventh through twelfth grade girls. One might think that all the girls do is to learn how to plan, prepare, and serve meals and to make clothing. This they do learn, but many more things are taught also. They study the rules of etiquette to learn a more desirable social behavior. In the home nursing course the girls learn how to care for the sick by using classmates as patients. The seniors look toward the future by planning their wedding, complete with trousseau and showers. Money management is often quite a problem in the financial success of a family so budgeting, all types of buying, insurance, and investments are studied.

Indiana University Science and German As we progress in school and our adult life, the communication skills, reading writing, and speaking, become more and more important. Through diversified language arts programs, we are well-trained in these areas. Last fall, students were writing I Speak for Democracy radio scripts. Because these scripts were read over the public address system, both content and manner of delivery were stressed. Judges, who were seated in different rooms listening to the presentations, selected a winner , Dorothy Jones. Many students in grades 9-12 participated in the district oratorical contest. Their sponsors were Mr. Reed and Mrs. Heeter. The winners at the local level represented our school in the county oratorical contest. In our literature classes we are introduced to many outstanding authors and their works. Although some of the stories and articles are difficult to understand, literature, nevertheless, stimulates the students to read for pleasure, inspiration and information. Critical thinking is also developed through the study of literature. Although a major in English is required at Rolling, two years of Latin and German are also offered. Pictures, charts, magazine articles, and other displays can always be found in Room 1 showing the derivation of English words from Latin stems. More than 50 per cent of our English words are derived from Latin. Greek, Roman, and German cultures can be experienced by the students studying these foreign languages. 25 Freshman English Class Julia Taylor and Bev McNally enact a scene from Alice in Wonderland for Senior English.

Carr Principal In the lower elementary grades, we try to give our boys and girls a good foundation in correct behavior, healthful living as well as subject matter. Many of the things learned here and the influences felt, carry through to adulthood. Often we hear adults say, I never forgot what my _____ grade teacher told us. Also These were my pals in the _____ grade. And thus our yearbook is a big help in bringing back fond memories. Scenes from our Thanksgiving Program. 38 GRADE ONE 1st Row L to R K. Andrews S.
