P1 il .1 3 I i THE 1956 HOLCAD ,Q A RUSHVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RUSHVILLE ---- INDIANA The Spirit of ,56 . . . Webster says: Spirit means courage, vigor or live- liness, and to illustrate he states, A race horse must have spirit. We say: Spirit is determination to do our best at all times, animation in class- work, cooperation with one another, enthusiasm in daily living, and appre- ciation for the good things of life. We state, The RHS Lion shows spirit. Contents SPIRIT OF RHS PEOPLE ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS . . . Lionis Style I-lelow is a cross section of the student body which gen- erates the Lion spirit. When a group of RHS-ers get to- gether, there is fun for all. When the school bell rings, they troop in to take their places, there to apply themselves with . . . Determination to use a fine school li- brary of '5000 volumes to the best advantage. to qualify as a secretary through practice training in the commercial course. to fathom the depths of science as typified in this scene from physics class. to burn the mid- night oil if need be to make a good showing on every exam, to try their best to keep up with John Dean's geometrical inclinations. to prepare for a job in the field of indus- try through special- ized shop training. Animation when the occasion offers an opportunity for social graces such as pretty dress-up school dances. for the breath-taking discov- eries in the biological field as revealed by the rayoscope. that originates at an athletic event and concludes with dancing to records at a popular all-school mixer. that continues in after school hours at Mac's with a coke for two and a gab session with the gang. Of course not all cokes are dis- pensed on this two-some plan, but it makes them more interesting. such as Lois Lichtsinn brought to her classes after a year's teaching in Japan and exten- sive travel on the mainland. This is not her usual classroom attire, but adds atmosphere to the occasion. 1' , a VV Co-operation . . . as a willing patient in home nursing class . . . in the joint activities of Hi-Y and Y-teens . . . in class projects such as the senior magazine campaign with its numerous prizes . . with team mates and coach for the glory of RH S. 1' K N --..i s as , L i M Wm K sri M, Enthusiasm . . . to be first in line on Sloppy Joe sandwich day at the cafeterizi . . . to dream of soaring off Hinto the wild blue yonderu in air science class . . . for the RHS Lions from the first game of the season to the last. qv'-lima:-4 Appreclatlon for the fine convocation pro- grams such as the musical presentation of Charles Rums- den. which, for boys in atlileticf, is evidenced by receiving covet- ed letters and sweaters. for the privilege of zlttenclirigg Girls' and Boys' State through the sponsorship of the Ami r- ican Legion and Auxiliary. Administration Lion trainers and occasionally Lion tamers aptly describes the administrators and faculty of Rushville High School. Few schools of similar size have such an experienced and scholastical- ly trained group. BERNARD MCKENZIE RALPH HARBISON Bernard McKenzie came to Rushville as principal in 1951, and assumed the superin- tendency in 1955. With his brilliant military, scholastic, and athletic record, Rushville is for- tunate to have such an outstanding personality in this position. Ralph Harbison, formerly of Attica, became principal in 1955. He has an excellent teaching and administrative background. Students ad- mire and respect him for his sympathetic un- derstanding of their adolescent problems. Donald Renegar Mrs. Frank Green School board members, Donald E. Renegar, Mrs. Frank Green, and John Megee, for the past several years have been concerned with plans for a new high school. Located on a site in the city park, the one-story building of 32 rooms will be under construction by June 1 of this year. Estimated cost is one and a quarter mil- lion dollars. Barring unforseen difficulties, RHS students will experience moving day prior to the opening of the second semester of January, 1958. John F.

This quartet of senior officers, Joe Dusing, Nancy Cal- lane, John Helme, and Nancy Evans, seem to typify the senior motto. They have given the door to tomorrow a. push, and are on their way. Senior Lions' Log The Spirit of '56 was born September 4, 1952, when 120 freshmen enrolled in Rushville High School. With Charles Levi, John Helme, Wilna Paugh, and Shirley McCully as officers, and Miss Florence Madden and James Gridley, as sponsors, the class rapidly made itself a part of the school scene. Many became members of Hi-Y, Y-teens, band, choir, Speech club, Lan- guage club, GAA, and the Rushlite staff. Ath- letically-minded boys engaged in track, football, baseball, and basketball. Karen Walker really stepped out as a member of Twelve Girls. Only 95 of the group returned as sophomores with Carl Smith, Allan Bowles, Virginia Jessup, and Nancy Callane leading the parade. Club and athletic interest mounted. Sonja Alexander helped roar for the Lions as cheerleader, and Beverly Stephens headed the Language club. Anticipating the Washington trip, the class added to the treasury through a dance, April Capers. Junior officers were Charles Levi, John Lewis, John Helme, and Lois Bang. Hobo day, the sale of Stanley products, and a chicken din- ner, added to the treasury. Honors began to accrue with Barbara Alsop and Mary Barr Montgomery in Twelve Girls, Mary Shane as junior editor of Rushlite, Donna Fancher and Nancy Callane as junior editors of the Holcad, Wilna Paugh as FFA Sweetheart, and Tom Stiers and Karen Walker as delegates to the World Affairs Institute. Charles Levi, Joe Dus- ing, and Bob Christopher were prominent in the sport field, Lois Bang was a cheerleader, and Nancy Evans and Linda Stevens were presi- dents of Pepsters of GAA respectively. All too soon came the fall of '55 with John Helme, Joe Dusing, Nancy Evans, and Nancy Callane serving as senior officers. Magazine sales and concession work shortened the miles to Washington. Organization presidencies were given Donna Craven by Y-teens, Charles Levi by Hi-Y, and Orville Graham by Speech club. Carl Smith and Ruth Ryman were student council members, and Mary Ellen Shane was named RHS Good Citizen. Nancy Callane edited the Holcad, and Mary Shane the Rushlite. Wilna Paugh who continued as FFA Sweetheart, joined the ranks of the Twelve Girls group. My Little Margie scored many laughs as the senior class play. Honors were given those seniors who made the Lions roar. Commencement activities came thick and fast . . . the long awaited Washington trip, class day with the announcement of senior honors, teas, and parties. Baccalaureate on May 27 and commencement on May 29 will close the pages of our high school diary, but the unquenchable spirit of 1956 will live on.

Pictured are Charles Winscott, president, Rebecca Stamm, treasurer, Suz- anne McCoy, secretary, and Reed Caldwell, vice president. Sponsors of the group are Miss Jean Stellingwerf and Harold Clifton. uniors Make Lion History Rushville's jaunty juniors agree that the school year 1955-56 heralded the most activity and studying they have encountered i11 three years of high school life However, that Lion spirit which is never lacking, carried them through with flags flying. Roaring of the Rushville Lion was made fierce by junior boys entering athletics, notably Delbert Michel in basketball, Charles Stamm in football, Bud Shepler in baseball, Larry Skill- man in track, Jim Robinson in cross-country, Tyrone Wise in tennis, and John Moster in golf. As cheer leader, Bonnie Duffey helped to boost team spirit and control crowd spirit in a con- vincing style all her own. The spirit of extra-curricular activities was kept lively by juniors both as officers and as members. Vivian Graham and Judy Waite held minor Y-teen offices, Herb Saxon was Lan- guage club veepg Charles Stamm and Delbert Michel served on the Student Council, Speech club claimed Sam Waggoner as sergeant-at- arms and Vivian Graham as treasurer. The juniors boasted members in Y-teens, Hi-Y, Language club, Speech club, R club, Boosters club, Library club, Rushlite staff, band, and con- cert choir. In the musical field, Judy Waite and Linda Walker were band officersg Janice Brown and Nancy Mason strutted as majorettesg Sally Ben- son, Sally Chase, Madeleine Bonne, Judy Hard- ing fpianistj, Lois Redden, Jane VanSickle, and Linda Walker vocalized with the Twelve Girls: and the organ music of Fred Dean was enjoyed at convocations. Suzanne McCoy as junior edi- tor of the Rushlite and Janie Waggener and Barbara Neuman as junior editors of the Hol- cad entered the literary field. Attending the World Affairs Institute, Betty Jones and Delbert Michel carried Lion spirit from RHS, as did Suzanne McCoy, Susan Wag- goner, and Donna Walk, who attended the Model UN General Assembly. These prospective seniors are looking forward to September, 1956, and are already making plans for the 1957 Holcad and the senior trip. Their undying vigor will surely make next year as successful as this one. uniors Swell Treasury Through Projects Anticipating! the senior trip to Washington, D. C., the junior class under the guidance of class sponsors Miss Jean Stellingwerf and Har- old Clifton made plans for various activities during.: the year to increase the class treasury. Bumps and bruises, Doctor. But, oh, didn't we have fun '? This was the chatter in RHS corridors the morning after - the junior skat- ing party held at the local rink on October 12. A real cloudburst failed to dampen anyone's fun as shown in the picture. This was one of the planned projects of the junior class. Trials and tribulations would be unknown to junior class treasurer, Becky Stamm, if everyone were as prompt to pay his monthly dues at Delbert Michel and Judy Waite. Ls . Annual Hobo Day was held September 15, when each person was required to earn 35.00. Barbara Timmons, Terry Dishinger, Suzanne McCoy, Sally Chase and David Jefferies are shown washing windows, just one of the many methods used by the ingenious juniors. A chicken dinner was held at the St. Mary's gymnasium on April 18. Pictured are Paul Har- relson and John Moster making slaw, as Sondra Harbison checks the list of ingredients to be used. Jane VanSickle wields the mighty rolling pin. Cooperation of students and parents made this project a success. Over 600 tickets were sold, and the affair showed a profit of 85562. This established a record in RHS. - -I 4 , I 11 Qu :J-Pin A U ., . A . Axial.. K .v . .af . . 9. 'Qi' .X .sf 5' Q' . ,df .5 . -. J 5 - 1 1. Y' fa ei .1729 Wiiyil W i .

Left to right they are: Regina Eaklns, Rebecca Moore, Douglas Brown, Mr. Michel, Charles Roberts, Roy Elmore, Sue Cox. unior High - Lions to be Supervision of the junior edition of the Lions is in the hands of Harold Michel. Officers were elected to plan the social activities of the group. Douglas Brown has been president, Re- becca Moore, vice president, and Regina Eakins, secretary-treasurer, of the seventh grade. Eighth grade leaders were Roy Elmore, presi- dent, Charles Roberts, vice president, and Sue Cox, secretary-treasurer. The junior high enjoyed a variety of social events. A skating party on October 31 was a highlight in the life of Carolyn Cross, who was elected queen. A spring dance at the Elks club on April 20 was quite a dress-up occasion. Boys with athletic inclinations enjoyed an undefeated record in football. An outstanding basketball season was marked with sixteen victories and two defeats, both at the hands of Connersville. Many promising athletes are looking forward to careers as Lions. These in- clude Bob May, Who Won the free throw trophy, and John Jones and Jim Callane, leading scorers. Music lovers under the direction of Miss Ele- nora Huffmeyer have brought honors to junior high. Their engagement calendar has included many clubs and organizations in the city, and in each instance they have been highly praised for their talent. Both classes have members of high scholas- tic attainments. Coupled with other class talents, there is every indication that the Lion spirit will continue. Eighth Grade Row lgitC. Abrams, F.

Dusing, Football With an overall record of four wins, four losses, and one tie, the Lion football team ex- perienced its best season in several years. ln conference play the Cassadamen placed seventh with one Win and four losses. The Lions opened the season at home with a 20-20 tie against Batesville. After losing their next game at Franklin 19-12, the Lions roared back to thrash Greensburg by a 37-0 count. The Red and Black then proceded in a Win one, lose one fashion. They defeated Greenfield 31-7, then lost to Seymour's powerhouse 27-7. Hagers- town put up a tough battle before finally fall- ing for a 33-20 count. The Lions next journeyed to Shelbyville where they suffered a 26-12 lick- ing, but redeemed themselves by downing Brookville 21-13. The season ended on a sad note, when the Lions suffered a 26-13 defeat at the hands of arch-rival Connersville. Ed Cassada has been head football and track coach for the past four years. He is a graduate of the University of Missouri. Les Ray, a graduate of the University of Nevada, replaced Paul Weaver as head basketball and freshmen football coach. For four years Grayson Mahin has been head baseball and assistant football coach of the Lions. Coach Mahin, himself an ex-Lion, is a graduate of Franklin College. ifixfgg T33 N A Cross Countr When cross-country was Hrst started in Rush- ville high school three years ago, there were not many participants. Since that time the sport has become of interest to more and more boys every year. This year the team had several outstanding members who participated in more meets than they have in past years, although they did not place very high in any of them. The team placed fifth in a Iield of seven in the South Central Row l-C. McDan1e1s, F. Ur- bahns, J. Stewart. J. Wilson. Row 2-R. King, P. Levi, Coach Grldley, L. Skillman, J. Helme, T. Eakins. Conference meet at Seymour and placed two or three boys well up in the field in the sectional meet held on South Grove golf course in Indian- apolis. Cross-country is a minor sport in our school, although it has been made a major sport in many Indiana schools, because of a great en- thusiasm for the activity. James Gridley is coach of the RHS team. Eakins and Holme are awaltlng the gun which will get them oil' for a cross country view of Rush Countv. Golf Golfing in RHS is divided into two seasons. One takes place during the opening of school in the fall, the other during the spring. Except for a team score, golf is an individual sport. Our golf team did well in their fall meets, sink- ing Greensburg's Pirates by a score of 5 to 4 and placing seventh in a field of nine at the SCC meet at Seymour on September 27. James Grid- ley is their coach. Tennis Held back because of a lack of coaching dur- ing the summer, the tennis team did very Well in the South Central Conference meet at Colum- bus this year. The meet was held on September 20, with our team placing seventh in a field of nine. Coach Gridley states the boys are handi- capped by having to be taken from football practice in order to participate in this sport. J. Moster, R. Wright, J. Doug- lass, D. Green, J. Gridley. J. Glover, J. Gridley, C. Stamm, P. Levi, T. Wise. Baseball As soon as King Basketball is deposed, RHS athletes turn their attention to two popular spring sports, baseball and track. Equally in- terested is the student body, which welcomes an excuse to enjoy spring weather from the bleachers, as their favorite heroes gain new laurels for the school. However, both sports are hampered by unpredictable weather condi- tions, and numerous encounters must be can- celed. Some boys with talent in both sports divide their interest and try for two letters. Last year's track record was unimpressive with every meet a loss, and sixth place in SCC stand- ing. In baseball the Lions Won three and lost two conference games. Grayson Mahin, baseball coach, has been short-handed for veteran lettermen this season. Merrill Northam, honorary captain of the '55 team and winner of the Alumni R-club award, was graduated last year along with lettermen C. Golightly, C. Michel, D. Bartlett, and F. Stev- ens. J. Borem, a senior, and M. Shepler, a jun- ior, are the only lettermen who reported for this year's team. The first encounter of the sea- son Was with Mays, and the Lions proved Dia- mond Dandies in a no-hit game. Phil Moore's pitching arm aided greatly in the initial victory. Other games on the schedule are with New Salem, Franklin, Southport, Seymour, Greens- burg, Martinsville, Columbus, Connersville. and Shelbyville. Row 1: D. Smith, M. Shepler, R. Glpson, P. Levi, R.

Track Although a 55-54 win over Hagers- town was the lone victory for last year's track team, this year's group has made a better sta1't. As the Holcad goes to press, the Lions have recorded sixth place in the Muncie relays, a triangular win over Morristown and Hagerstown. and a defeat to Yorktown. This year's team has been built around the following lettermen: Joe Dusing. shot put: Larry Skillman, high jump: Delbert Michel, pole vault, and George Williams, hurdles and high jump. Marion Elmore, honorary cap-- tain and winner of the Jaycee award as most valuable player, and Carl Michel were lost by graduation. A number of interested freshmen give promise of a stronger team next season. Larry Skillman seems headed for victory as inter ested students watch the finish. Don Zimmerman has the honor of holding the tape. Row 1: T. MvCully qstudent mgrq, R. Harbaugh. T. Eaklns, J. Holme, J. Dusinu, D. Bradley. L. Dl'l, G. Bradley mstudcnt mgxtb. Row 2: G. Williams, H.

Their heart's desire is to be an RHS Lion and play basketball. After a poor start the Lions recovered to compile an over-all record of' 13-Il, including tourneys. For the first time in four years the locals won a New Yearis tourney game, this time from ffonnersville 69-48. Shelbyville downed the Raymen in the final game 79-58. ln the first six games defeats were adminis- tered by Morristown, Greensburg, Southport, Martinsville, and tfonnersville, and a game won from Batesville. Wins over Pendleton, Green- field and North Vernon were followed by losses to Seymour, Shelbyville and Connersville, In a late season surge, the Lions bounced back to win five of the six regular games. Extending their winning streak, the Red and Black clawed its way through the sectional with victories over Mays, Arlington and Morris- town. Connersville ended tourney hopes for Rushville in the regional. Only three seniors are lost by graduation, namely Bob Christopher, Joe Ilusing, and Charles Levi. Christopher led the team in scor- ing and established a new four-year scoring record for the county. Dusing was named free throw champion. Levi was elected honorary captain, and received the Jaycee award as the team's most valuable senior player. U U99 3 Score two for RHS on Dusing's shot.

Here they meet after school hours to engage in softball, basketball, volley ball, or just plain watching. Highlights of this year were a volleyball sports night with boys as guests, winning the four-school basketball tour- nament at Franklin, and attending Columbus Youth Camp.

Holcad editor, chose for this year's theme The Spirit of '56, Lions' Stylef' and her staff has attempted to portray the events of this school year in that manner. The opening section features the academic and social life of the school through interesting and unusual poses. Sport and organization coyeragre has been complete. An effort was made to place the picture of every student in the hook. Because ot' its complete coverage, the H356 Holcad should be a yalualmle possession ol' all who were fortunate enough to lwuy one. In fu- ture years alumni will iind it a treasure house of memories. In true Lion style the sulmseription campaign conducted by Don Simmons went over with a bang: In two weekls time l62 hooks were sold to establish a record. High salesmen were lion Simmons, Holm Fhristopher, and Roy l'edig:'o. Y-teens Cablnet: Mrs. Mitchell, sponsor: L, Stev- ens, vice-president, S. Wallace, E. Foster B. Stephens, treasurer: G. May, R.
