Stes beesstt itt tt See CE: pat Allen, Dear Underclassmen: On the opening day of school in 1950, everyone stared at us. They all asked, ''What is invading this once quiet and conservative abode of intellect?'' Green dresses, socks, and : shoes! Green wheelbarrows! And green people! Yes, we were green but we caught on soon. - Our sponsors were Mrs. Collins and Mr. Don Martin. We elected Gary Graves as president of our class. To help him, Bill Herrick was elected vice-president; Charles Rexroat, secretary; and Jeanie Campbell, treasurer. In the spring of the year, we all enjoyed a skating party. As sophomores, we were still underclassmen, but were undeniably established in S.H.S. as could be seen by the fact that several of our classmates were playing varsity basketball and doing very well in track and softball. To add to our glory, we won the interclass tourney and beat the faculty. Our sponsors, Miss Mary Nicholson and Mr. Don MacDonald, helped guide president, Charles Rexroat; vice-president, Frank Foster; secretary, Frank Zaring; and treasurer, Jack Jackson, through the year to the successful picnic held at Alvin Elrod's farm. Then at last we were upperclassmen! For our junior year we chose Mac Osborne for president; Frank Foster for vice-president; Charles Rexroat for secretary; and Jack Jackson for treasurer. Miss Ahlf and Mr. Willis were our sponsors. To finance the big event of this year, the Prom, we sold refreshments at basketball games, pencils with pennants during the tourney time, and wreaths at Christmas time. Along with all this work, we had to have some fun, so we had a class dance and party. Field Day was a rough and tumble affair for all, but the Class of '53 was a little rougher than we were. Our class picnic was held at Spring Mill State Park. Then spring came and brought with it the Prom. The seniors used every trick in the book to try to find out our theme, but ''My Blue Heaven remained a secret until we issued the invitation to the seniors. Our Senior year was the shortest, saddest, jolliest, and busiest. We were the big deals'' in S.H.S. even if our class did have only 78 members. Mrs. DustinandMr. Schanlaub helped us through the year with our officers: oleon Putt residentwn ae Colglazier, Vace- Pres.; Doris Devereux, Secretary; and Pat Allen, Treas. If we thought we were busy at the first of the year, we hardly knew what was going on at the end of the year. Graduation was the event for which we had been waiting for four years, but also the Senior Class Play, ''Green Valley,'' our class trip to Mammouth Cave, Baccalaureate, Alumni Banquet, Field Day, Honor Day, Senior Day, and the Prom kept us going. That's a brief bit about our four wonderful years inS.H.S., underclassmen. We could go on and on, but lacking room to write more, we'll have to save it for a later date. Best of luck to all of you, and we hope that you have as much fun as we have had. 9 =the Glassot '54 tl | Siee over, ended MARVIN BATT Hi-Y 2, 3,4: B.B. 1,2, 3, 4; Band 152, 3, Captain 4; Dramatics 1, 2, 3,4; Thespian 4, NANCY JO BATT Treasurer Student Council 4; Tri-Hi-Y 1, 2,3, Secre- tary 4; F.H.A. 1,2,3,4, Song Leader 2; Debate Team 4; Business Manager Cub 4; Thespian 4; Dramatics 3, 4; Chorus 1; Girls' State 3; Librarian 4; LYON Staff 4.

Mrs. Morris and Mr. Willis were our sponsors, and our officers were: President, Jim Hilton; Vice-Pres., Jack Morgan; Secretary, Alene Burns; and Treas., Sally Smith. We had two skating parties that year. In our sophomore year we had 125 back with Mrs. Morris and Mr. Oesch as sponsors. We elected these students as officers: President, Keith Hattabaugh; Vice-Pres., Larry Wagers; Secretary, Jane Lloyd; and Treasurer, Chester Nichols. We had a Halloween dance and in the spring, a picnic at Lake Salinda. One thing unusual about this picnic was that you didn't have to get out into the lake to get wet! (Thanks to the numerous water guns!) Then came our busy year--we were actually juniors, 103 of us. We chose as officers: President, Jim Hilton; Vice-Pres., Larry Wagers; Secretary, Clara Roop; and Treasurer, Ronald Bell. Our sponsors were Miss Ahlf and Mr. Sears. We sponsored a junior dance in the fall after a ballgame and a Junior Carnival in the spring and both were huge successes. We also sold concessions at ballgames, sold autograph books and anything else we could think of to make our big event of the year, the Junior- Senior Prom a success. Too, we talked the Seniors into publishing the LYON at the end of the year. Look forward to this year, kids! You're busy every minute, but you really have lots of fun, up to and including the last activity--the annual Junior Picnic! — The Junior Class RONALD BELL Hi-Y 3; Class Treas, 3; Pres, Student Council 4; Track 1,2, 3; Cross Country 2, 3; Biology Club 1.

In the fall of 1952, 160 of us anxiously awaited that first day of our high school years. We soon became acquainted and elected these students as officers: President, Bill Ellmore; Vice-President, Charles Gater; } Secretary, Phyllis Beswick; and Treasurer, Shirley Weeks. Our advisors | were Miss Ei senhart and Mr. McDonald. In February, we had a class party. We all went skating. In spite of many spills and numerous bumps, we had a glorious time, Our Sophomore year we had 148 back to start the new year. We had as officers; President, Carl Rexroat; Vice-President, Ernie Baird; Secretary, Fern Roop; and Treasurer, Shirley Weeks. Our sponsors were Mrs. Morris and Mr. McConnell. One of the highlights of the year was our chili supper. All enjoyed dancing and games after first filling themselves to the brim with chili! It was a wonderful two years and we're eagerly looking forward to | our next two, for we know we'll have a wonderful time during those, too. But even when we're having so much fun during our upperclassmen years we'll never forget how much fun it was being a 'silly sophomore, ' —Class of '56 28 ROW 1:B. Miller, G. Miller, R. Brewer, S.

We, like most of the others who had just entered high school, were a little green but we soon got over that and were getting around as well as any upperclassman,. (Of course, they didn't think so, but we did.) We had our first class meeting early in the fall and elected as our officers: President, John Rutherford; Vice-President, Kenny Baird; Secretary, Shelby Miller; and Treasurer, Billy Grigsby. Our sponsors were Miss Richey and Mr. Blackman, Our first party was held in Lyon Hall in November. Entertainment was furnished by | games and dancing. Late in the spring, we had a hike and picnic. Everyone went home tired, but full of lots of good things to eat! One hundred and sixty-seven of us finished out the year without too many mishaps.

The girls try to live up to this purpose and to build their lives on the four planks of the Tri-Hi-Y platform: Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living. at AG o Membership is open to all girls in school, This year the large group was divided into thirteen sections in order to create interest, and to raise funds for their many activities. As a result, the girls have had a most successful and interesting year. During the bi-monthly meetings the girls plan their activities such as: sending cheer baskets each Christmas, donating to local fund drives, attending district conventions, and money making projects. This year the Talent Show was the highlight and netted a nice profit. The program of the year is planned by the Council, made-up of the officers and sponsor. This year, guest speakers met and discussed problems the girls are interested in, 34 But the Heo eee of the year's activity is the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet held this year, April 8. The theme was ''That wonderful inspiration—My Mother. ' Much credit for the success of the club should be given to the sponsor, Mrs. Phillips. She has worked with the club from the time it was called Girl Reserve through the Y-Teen to the present Tri-Hi-Y. She advises the girls and helps them keep their goal of life and the goals of the club always in sight. Mrs. Phillips is on the state staff as Tri-Hi-Y advisor for a two-year period.

This organization came into being through the cooperative efforts of youth enrolled in homemaking to foster leadership and promote better home life for the families of America. The Salem chapter consists of 126 active members, the largest in the state of Indiana. Membership is open to any girl who has taken one year of Home Economics. Mrs. Mable Edwards is adviser. Through her efforts our chapter has become well known throughout our home state. The motto of Future Homemakers of America, ''Toward New Horizons,'' expresses the purpose of the organization--learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow. This gives us an idea of our American youth and how they are striving to make the future better for all. The red rose is the flower of the organization and red and white are its colors. Plus the many activities in the local club, these girls attend district and state meetings where they take an active part. 38 The first week of December was celebrated as Future Homemakers Week. Activities were arranged and each day attention was paid to some phase of their varied interests. Sunday- attended church as a group Monday- each girl indentified herself by wearing an apron throughout the day Tuesday- good deed day Wednesday- each member wore F.H.A. colors - red and white Thursday- d evoted entirely to publicity Friday- sold UNESCO stamps Saturday- food sale.

It provides transportation for those who would be unable to attend otherwise, and therefore a larger cheering section at the games. Several after-the-game dances were held, but the annual ''Soc Hop, of course, was the big event. One of the highlights of the dances was inviting the visiting schools. As tourney time drew near, the Booster Club spent some long hours afte r school, during study hall and any other time that they had to spare, preparing for the big days at Jeff. Black and Gold shakers were made and a new project was introduced--the girls sported pretty yellow carnations with black S's on them. Real ones, too. They certainly made a pretty sight at the games. 44 el Chibs G4 The five Biology clubs, affiliated with the National Science Clubs, were the fourteenth to be organized in the state.

Although music reading ability isn't required, some basic requirements must be met before a girl may become a member of the choir. In this group, two girls, Mary Jane Humphrey and Lenetta Smedley, have been members their four years inS.H.S., and were awarded a pin on Honor Day. No doubt the director, Mrs. Miriam Baker, often wonders if the girls will stop chattering long enough to practice their singing, because the girls love to talk almost as well as they love to sing. Apparently they do though, because they have brought home many honors from state and district contests. For several years, the Chorus has won first, both in the district and the state contests. This year, it placed second in the state. During the year the girls have sung for Convocations, Mother-Daughter Banquet, Christ- mas Concert, and at Baccalaureate. 47 PO.

Tf this band would lift its knees higher, it could compare to Ohio State University Band''- Don Hanna These comments were expressed at the marching Contest at Speedway, Indiana, in October when the band won a first division, lacking only one point having a perfect score. Not only does the band march at contests, but they perform at home basketball games. At the Solo and Ensemble Contest at Hanover College this year, the band won 75 first division medals. Moving from a BB class up to a B class, and into tougher competition, the band received a first at the Concert Contest at Franklin. After participating and winning all contests, a two-day tour to Franklin and Noblesville came as a partial reward. Along the way the band played for several schools, stayed over- night at Noblesville. In April they attended the annual Southern Indiana Band Festival, this year held at Browns- town, where 450 band students from New Albany, Mitchell, Brownstown, Seymour, Bedford, and Salem combined to form one large band under the direction of such noted conductors and musical celebrities as Harold Walters, Karl King, David Bennett, and Paul Yoder, who have been selected to d irect at one time or another in the three years of the festival. The band has won the marching contest at the State Lions' Convention, was invited to the Kentucky State Band Clinic, where they introduced a new number by Harold Walters, has been requested by several high schools to per- form at school convocations, has been invited to perform at Butler, DePauw and Indiana Universities. Mr. Vaught, the director, is one of the main reasnns that the SHS Band has been ranked in the first division for the past several years. An I.U. graduate, with an M.A. fromI.S.T.C. he came to S.H.S. six years ago, and has led our band to a long string of first awards. We are proud of George Vaught, who has developed our band into the fastest rising band in the state of Indiana. ' a4 Jerry Settle--Baton Twirler S.H.S.

We have tried in these pages to capture the smiles and the tears, the hard work, and the rewards, symbols that will now, and in years to come, call to memory the events of '54. Early in the year, the staff was chosen to edit the LYON. As this is a biennial publication, Junior and Senior classes are equally represented. Everyone else could make mis- 1 takes, but not the typists. They had 1 to find them, and correct them. Even after the close of school, the typists ' had pages to copy. This wasn't much { fun when the halls were silent, except for the clicking of the typewriters. This is a posed picture: Mary Jane, Lenetta, Nancy Jo, and Pat never worked at the same time. We are very proud of our school in its victories and its defeats. We tried to play the game. Sometimes we lost, More often we won. The LYON has it recorded boys, girls, Cross Country, Softball, Basketball, Crack ere Max and Martha copy scores of the past season's basketball games. Olson, Paul, Barbara, and Kenneth check over the pictures to be used. FLASH! FLASH! Roberson! Huff! Rutherford!! Every event is a picture.

Sifiball Coach McDonald's varsity Softball Team had a much better record this year than last year, winning five and losing four in the 1954 Softball campaign. This also has been the best Softball record since Coach McDonald has been with us; also when in defeat they went down by a very small number of runs. During the Tourney we opened up by playing Corydon, and defeating them in the first round. Our next game was with Brownstown who defeated us 7 to 6; we had nine hits to their three, but we just couldn't get to playing together. The underclassmen through a year's experience should show much improvement for themselves and for S.H.S. in next year's season.

Coach Lee's 1953 cross country team during scheduled meets came out with five wins and no losses. There were three dual and two triangular meets; the thinlies won all their meets from their opponents with perfect and near perfect scores. At the season's end they came out on top in the Southeastern Conference championship, winning easily from Paoli and Scottsburg, competing against a rugged field in the Sectional, the Lions dis- played their talent by placing second behind a strong Vincennes team. Running with the best teams in the State, the thinly clads finished the season by tieing for seventh with Kokomo at the State.

This year was one of the more successful basketball seasons of Salem High, After going ll through the season with ten wins and eight losses, our team was defeated in the Sectional by Silver Creek by a very small margin, the Lions leading most of the game, but losing to the Dragons in the last few seconds of the game. We were very proud of our boys and are looking for- ward to next season with confidence that next year's team will be as good or better. The three top scorers were very evenly distributed in points with Jack Jackson out on top with a total of 179 Team points; coming out second was Charlie Rexroat with 150 points, and third was Jerry Horner with 147.

Fight! Team! Fight! This is the yell of all Salem High School fans as they are led by Jeanie, Norma, Peggy and Doris, These four have worked on the older yells and introduced many new ones. Some of the new yells include the band, such as the ''Bunny Hop.' ' These have aroused much enthusiasm, The yell leaders always go to all of the out of town ballgamesas well as the home games. With these four girls leading the yells, the Gold and Black fans always keep the winning Spirit: It has been said that the enthusiasm for basketball is about half skill and half psychology. It certainly is true at Salem High School that with a good cheering section and some loud, snappy yells, the team will have better luck in hitting the goal. One of the big highlights of the school year is the pep session held just before the Sectional. As you enter the gym, the band is playing and soon the cheerleaders start leading some good old S.H.S. yells to get everyone into the spirit. After the yells we have some pep talks ’ by faculty members, backers of the team, and alumni. Then our able coach, Don McDonald, also gives a' 'pep talk, ''and introduces allthe boys on the team. After a few more yells, we all leave with a winning spirit. So, whether we win or lose, we know that the pep sessions add a lot to the sportsmanship of the students. 61 Austin Madison !

During the evening, soft strains of dance music were played by the Rhythm Aires of Columbus. Many twinkling stars encrested the blue sky ceiling overhead. Highlighting the evening's en- joyment was the crowning of the King and Queen, chosen by popular vote of the Junior Class. The King and Queen of 1953, Gary Graves and Norma Gater, crowned the new rulers, King, Jack Chastain and Queen, Kay Williams. The handiwork of the Juniors consisted of a beautiful bridge at the threshhold and wishing wells on eacheside. The bleachers were transformed into a beautiful blue ocean, complete with a ship, Tenderly. The tables were attractively arranged and decorated with rocks, moss, and shells; favors were small boats carrying a cargo of jelly beans.
