This is the question in Diane Yagel- ski's, Jan Fryar's, and Cathy Deardorff's mind as they prepare for the crowning ritual. Shelli Wright, Kathy Hiigli, and Joni Satkoski are anxiously awaiting the Homecoming Ceremonies. The grandstands are filled with enthusiastic fans responding to the cheerleader's yells in an effort to boost the Satellites football team. 6 Highlights Homecoming Activities A kiss on the cheek is rated by Miss Deardorff after being crowned by co-captain, Dick Wright. Taking her place at the throne, Miss Cathy Deardorff is surrounded by her court: Miss Joni Satoski, Miss Jan Fryar, Miss Diane Yagelski, Miss Shelli Wright, and Miss Kathy Hiigli. Many activities were centered around the second annual Homecoming game. The activities, which were sponsored by the Student Senate, included decorating, a bonfire the night before the game, the crowning of the queen, and a dance after the game. White mums accented by red, white, and blue were sold as Homecom- ing corsages by the junior class. Also, the sophomore class built a platform at the edge of the football field for the queen. The freshman, sophomore, and junior classes each nominated one girl to act as a princess. These girls were Shelli Wright, Kathy Hiigli, and Joni Satkoski, respectively. The queen was chosen from three girls nominated by the senior class. These girls were Cathy Dear- dorff, Jan Fryar, and Diane Yagelski. The entire student body voted for the queen by casting penny votes. Cathy Deardorff was crowned queen of the 1968 Homecoming. In a startling game, the LaLumiere Leopards defeated the Satellites by a score of 33--26. Convocation and Queen Crowning The Senior Future Homemakers of America sponsored their annual Christmas Dance on De- cember 16. Nine girls were nominated as candidates for the queen from the different organizations in the school. Those girls were: D.C.E., Karen Howell; Drama Club, Lynn Goodwin; F.H.A., Penny Younggreen; F.T.A., Peg Gardner; Health Careers, Jeanne Huhnke; GUYS, Devona Wake- man; Honor Society, Jan Fryar; Pep Club, Kathy Hiigli; and Student Senate, Mary Clark. The queen was selected by the penny vote sys- tem at ten o'clock that evening. Miss Penny Younggreen was crowned queen at this time. Miss Jeanne Huhnke was announced as the first runner-up while the second runner-up was Miss Kathy Hiigli. Student Senate President, Butch Egolf, places the crown on Queen Penny Younggreen as other candidates, Devona Wake man, Jeanne Hunke, and Kathy Hiigli congratulatingly look on. Butch Egolf announces the 1968 Christmas Queen as predecessor, Dianna Garner, awaits the crowning task. Penny Younggreen is surrounded by first run- ner-up, Jeanne Hunke and second runner-up, Kathy Hiigli. 8 Capture Yule Spirit A beautiful twelve foot tree towered over the court- yard to be seen by passing motorists. An inspiring manger scene helped to capture the Christmas spirit for the student body. The main hallway was illuminated by a long needle pine. 9 Various classes used their imagination in presenting their own Christmas message. The above charming couple, Susie Yeoman and Jerry Smoker are enjoying the Prom festivities. The Roeglin Duet is still spry at the Post Prom Breakfast. Couple Dennis Johnson and Bonnie Szilagyi seem to be dis- cussing the events to follow with Jerry Bennett and Mary Jo Siegesmund. 10 Arriving at Culver Inn are Marla Grieger and her escort Mike Niksch. Chuck Emerick, above, shows his date, Mary Clark, his door prize. The food looks great, even in the morning, as Sally Crieger and Larry Cunningham dig in at the breakfast. Stairway to the Stars The 1968 Junior-Senior Prom was held at Culver Inn on May 17. The evening was opened with a banquet which was enjoyed by the faculty, students and guests . Following the meal, music was pro- vided by Deb Tinkle and his orchestra. Prom-goers enjoyed the beauty of the lake, but the evening was highlighted by the crowning of the Prom King and Queen. Junior Class President, Larry Gardner, crowned Jan Fryar with a tiara and pre- sented her with a bouquet of long-stemed red roses. The queen's court, Cathy Deardorff, Lynn Goodwin, and Karen Howell, was presented with charms. Chuck Emerick was crowned King by Vice President, Peg Gardner, and was presented a tie tac. His court consisted of Steve King and Martin Hagenow. The movie, The Secret War of Harry Frigg, was seen by prom couples at Rees Theater in Plymouth. It was followed by a Post-Prom dance featuring The Strawberry Subway. The Junior's mothers prepared a light breakfast. Chuck Emerick and Jan Fryar pose after being crowned 1968 Prom King and Queen. II Salutatorian, Frank Egolf, shows how proud he is as he enters. The faces of Don Miser, Dave Masterson, Mel Baske, Bill King, and Bob Bailey show exactly how they feel while waiting for commencement ex ercises to begin. 12 stone in the Lives of 50 Students Pictured is the 1968 Graduating Class of South Cen- emblem. Mixed emotions fill the air but each is ready tral. The class stands proudly before their audience to step to the future, below their motto, We are the Future and school Commencement exercises, May 22, 1968, brought twelve years of the lives of fifty students to a grand climax. The traditional processional, Pomp and Circumstance created the atmosphere for the en- trance of a train of eager students. The scene was one of familiarity, a crowded gymnasium and traditional blue caps and gowns. The program began with the invocation given by Reverend Craig Meyers. The aspiration and ideals of the entire class were presented in a message given by Frank Egolf, Salutatorian. J. E. Cobb, Dean School of Graduate Studies, Indiana State Teachers College, gave the address entitled Walls . Clarence C. Bluhm, President of the School Board presented diplomas. Lynn Goodwin then delivered the Valedictorian Fare- well. The high school sang My Best to You , extend- ing wishes of success to graduating class of 1968. It was a grand event, a combination of cheers and tears. Instructions of do this and don't do that helped create an atmosphere of excitement as is seen in Sandy Schable, Pat Jones and Martin Foster. Here we see twelve years really brought to a close as Charlie Hiigli and Bob Clark turn in their gowns. Steve and Mr. Moore add to a psychedelic pep rally. Central students show their enthusiasm at a spirited pep session. The tourney brings many ovations for the Central pep block. Central Honors Above, Steve King was 1967 Boys' State Dele- gate.

Vocational educa- tion prepares the student for entrance into the business society. It is possible after completing a sequence of courses for a student to enter a job at the beginning level. Many students take business courses for personal use and find the courses quite helpful in adult life. College-bound students take typing to help them in their college program. General business courses are in everyday life applicable to the problems encountered. The second year typing class added to their skills the use of the I.B.M. Executary as shown by Karen Howell. Lois Bluhm demonstrates the correct technique in transcribing her shorthand notes. Basics Learned in Business Ed. Susie Yeoman takes a timed writing, one of the es- sentials of Typing I. Lynda Foster, Pat Webb, and Wanda Inman express the many problems of Bookkeeping. Stumped by a typing problem, Devona Wakeman fig- ures how to center her paper. Students Earn as They Learn The D.C.E. (Diversified Co-operative Education) program, in its second year at South Central, has 29 juniors and sen- iors participating. The students attend classes in the mornings, and receive on- the-job training in the afternoons. They work in a vocational area which interests them and can prepare them for a career after high school. In their D.C.E. class every day, they can discuss the problems they encounter in their work, besides studying employer-employee relation- ships, social insurance, taxes, and the use of money earned. Each year the highlight of the year is the Employer-Employee banquet. The students take their respective employer or supervisor to dinner as a show of ap- preciation for their co-operative effort. The D.C.E. students are busily preparing for their sec- ond annual Employer-Employee Banquet. Here they are discussing some of the problems which arise in their work. This shows various D.C.E. students with their employ- ers at their banquet on April 3, 1968 Jim Prankus is showing a missionary from Indonesia a few basics about Soil and Tissue Testing. 19 For students with an interest in farm- ing, South Central provides four years of high school agriculture. This course ranges from basic farming to advanced economic and animal husbandry. Research projects and field trips add to their class - room knowledge. The completion of these subjects will help prepare the student for a career in farming or further study in the field of agriculture. Jim Taylor is conscientiously at work sharpening a tool with a file in his Ag. class. Boys Prepare for Farming Career Don Nehl demonstrates the use of protective glasses as he applies his classroom knowledge to actual work with machines. Jerry Smoker and Bob Clark are shown working on a motor in Agriculture class. This year the English department at South Central has been greatly developed with new reading machines consisting of shadowscopes and portable pacers. The purpose of these machines is to increase the student's reading speed and compre- hension . Both junior high and high school students have used these machines as part of their development reading. The 7th and 8th grade students have performed group book report skits and participated in panel discussions. The high school students have spent many hours working with speeches and critical analysis of prose and poetry. Danny Wright, a member of the 7th grade English class, takes part in a skit presented to his classmates. Skits and Plays Enliven Classes Ray Rinker is rehearsing for a play which was pre- sented to the freshman class. Rosemary Schlundt improves her reading rate at the shadowscope in the junior English class. The senior class takes part in a discussion for Mr. Moore's senior English class. Students Learn of Their World Steve Allen and Bonnie Szilagyi listen intently as Mr. Fettinger opens the discussion in Government. Evon Buchanan and Amy Howell discuss American history in Mr. Moore's 8th grade class. Our Social Studies Department is pre- paring us for our part in tomorrow’s world. Social Studies connects the pres- ent with the past in terms of man's think- ing and actions. This department is com- posed of five classes. World History is a study of ancient worlds and their govern- ments. U.S. History is the story of our nation, from its discovery to the present. World Geography acquaints the students with various cultures, physical features of the earth, climate and weather. Gov- ernment and Sociology are to acquaint students with a democratic form of gov- ernment and the problems of our modern world. Mr. Fettinger discusses the problems of living with his Senior Sociology Class. 22 Language Lab Aids Studying The Foreign Language department of- fers a choice of two subjects--French and German. The well-equipped language laboratory has enabled the students to hear the language they're studying as spoken by native people. This is possible through the use of tapes and records which can be heard by individual sets of earphones. This department is under the direction of Mr. Herb Gerke. German IV student, Jan Fryar, listens to a tape to aid her in understanding what she reads. French I students read along with their books in re- sponse to the questions heard on a tape. Sally Grieger and Donna Crites point out the spot in Germany they are presently studying. 23 y Scientific Stud The Science department is designed to provide each student with a basic back- ground in general science . The Physical Science course prepares the student for Chemistry and other science classes. Biology I and II specializes in the study of living organisms. Chemistry and Phy- sics offer advanced studies for those students planning to further their educa- tion after high school. A new requirement has been added this year in the Chemistry and Physics classes. Each student is required to wear protective glasses for the purpose of in- creasing safety while working with chem- icals in the laboratory. Is Achieved Debbie Young and Carleen Micheals are examining a specimen through a microscope. Dick Wright is inserting a slide to study its character- istics through a microscope. Bob Speece, Roger Harmon, and Dale Amor are con- ducting an investigation in the lab. Coleen Evon is busily studying a slide for an experi- ment in Biology I. New’ Math Provides College Prep Mrs. Kalb explains new math to Fred Hundt and Glenn Schlundt in the Algebra I class. Alan Deardorff, Diana Cunningham and Jerry Bennett listen attentively as Mrs. Kalb explains an Algebra problem. College-bound students are offered a variety of courses in the Math department. As a freshman, a student may take either Algebra I or General Math. In his re- maining years of high school, he may take Geometry, Algebra II, and Senior Math as electives. The completion of any of these will benefit the student who is start- ing in a vocation as well as those planning to attend college. On March 12, the junior and senior math students participated in the Annual High School Mathematics Examination. The purpose of this was to stimulate in- terest in mathematics and in fields requir- ing a background in math. Tom Satoski works with a compass and protractor in Mrs. Roeglin's Geometry class. 25 Industrial Arts Offer Training Ed Welch here shows the necessity of wearing protec- tive glasses while working with the machinery. Jim Schweizer, Bill Bailey, Greg Kellpsh, Martin Fos- ter, Dennis Allen, and Don Saulsgiver are working with various machines in Industrial Arts. Seven areas are currently being of- fered in the Industrial Arts department. The different areas are meant to be ex- ploratory and general in nature to assist the student in seeking avenues of voca- tional or avocational pursuit. The Woods area offers the student the opportunity to learn hand tools, measuring devices, and industrial size power tools. Drafting en- compasses the different facets of mechan- ical drawing. The basic fundamentals of electricity are taught first--later in elec- tronics the use of the VOM, oscilloscope and AF-RF Generator fundamentals are learned . Metals area includes basic metal fabrication and developments along with a good understanding of the use of metal forming machinery available in the lab. The Machine Shop classes consist of the proper use of metal lathes, milling machine, radial drill pren and standard drill pren operation. The Welding area offers 5 different methods of welding pro- cesses: Acetylene, Arc, Tig, Spraypow- der and spot welding. In the Plastics area, simple forming, adhesion and work abil- ity of materials are learned along with the industrial application. Graphis Arts has been introduced to acquaint the stu- dents with the art of communications . Students are learning the relationship of hydraulics to the other areas in the In- dustrial Education Dept. Power Mechan- ics area consists of introduction to land, sea and air transportation. Later a better understanding of the powertrain, breaking system and power transmission is re- ceived by the student. Many Facets in Mechanical Drawing Mechanical drawing aids students in gaining a basic background in drafting, blueprint reading, engineering, and ar- chitecture . The first semester of the sec- ond year consists of machine drafting and the second semester, architectural draw- ing. The completion of this course pre- pares a student for further work in this area. Students of the drafting class are busily at work on architectural drawings. Mary Beth Shei is studying the floor plans of houses in the drafting class. These mechanical drawing students are working on scale drawings in class. 27 Homemaking Techniques Are Learned. The Home Economics department be- lieves in a comprehensive, flexible, functional program to help pupils live effectively in a changing society. The student’s abilities, interests, and tal- ents should be encouraged and developed. The students should also be helped to understand and appreciate each other and themselves as individuals and as mem- bers of our society. This department is available to students in grades 8 through 12. Home Ec. I studies color, personal- ity, clothing, foods, and various other aspects of home life. Home Ec . II deals with foods, clothing, child care, and home nursing. Home Ec. Ill and IV are together in one class. This year, each girl is designing and decorating a model home. They have visited homes in Marion, Ind ., for helpful ideas. They also study courtship and marriage, and advanced foods and clothing. The Family Living class studies areas like personality, friendship, dress, manners, dating, marriage, citizenship, and family relationships. Pam Wakeman is hard, but happily, at work sewing on her skirt in 8th grade Home Ec. Here Jennifer Kuss is busy at a sewing machine work- ing on her clothing project. Juniors Becky Daumer and Patsy Demo are cleaning up their work area after a cooking session in the kitchen. 28 The Health Department has become a valuable asset to South Central. Under the supervision of Mrs. Joan Owen, a registered nurse, accurate health records are kept of each student in the school. This department has shown the impor- tance of good health and contributed to the welfare of our school. Mrs. Owen is administering the hearing test in the health room to Lory Berg. Health and Counseling Help Us. The Counseling Department, under the direction of Mr. Harry W. Turak, con- sists of three major areas . The first and most important is the counseling service. This enables the student to discuss his own educational, vocational, and personal problems with the counselor. The inform- ational service provides reference ma- terial on various topics of interest. The testing service provides the opportunity for many students to take tests which might help them in choosing their further occupation. Testing results are com- bined with other information in order to give the student a chance to better under- stand himself. This then would put one in a position to make more realistic de- cisions . Mr. Turak is pointing out some interesting facts from a college catalog to junior, Mary Ann Hiigli. 29 Library Provides Aid Facilities Silence is essential in our library, but at times the rules must be broken. The school library has many helpful facilities which aid the students in all areas. The library has recently pur- chased many new books which will en- lighten and broaden the interest of the students. The library has a staff of stu- dent assistant librarians who perform different tasks for the librarian and aid the students in finding their desired books . The library has become one of the main areas for study which is available to the students. 30 Creativity D evelops in Art Class The Art students this year are using the textbook, ART FOR YOUNG AMER- ICA. They learn that art is for everyone and is applicable in everyday life. Be- sides the fundamentals of art, they learn to appreciate the beauty of the world in which they live. During the year, they work with water and oil colors, pastels, charcoal, and different projects are en- couraged and each student has worked on designs of his own choosing. Mrs. Bryant looks on as Jackie Reinke paints a picture in oils. In an Art I class, Arlene Schmidt is carving an arti- cle from clay. While applying her artistic abilities in the Art II class, Jackie Reinke paints with oils. 31 The Union Mills Auxiliary created a memorable day for the senior girls. Pat Jones and Vicki Miller enjoy the refreshments.

This is true of Cathy Deardorff and Karen Howell. There was wild anticipation before commencement exercises. Four years of friendship is brought to a close by a graduation kiss exchanged between Susie Rosenbaum and Jerry Smoker. The bright and brilliant face of Steve Cummings was ever present in Sociology class to keep things going. Thru These Doors PE RS ONALITIE S Mr . John R .

They follow this by a group discussion over what they have seen. Twice each week, the students have music class, under the direction of the music teacher. Once each week, their teachers help them in an art class. These classes provide the students with an op- portunity to show their creative ability. The art class turns out seasonal decora- tions for their room and provides enter- tainment for the pupil. One of their major projects has been the construction of plastic Indian homes to accompany their study of Indians. One of the classes has had the enjoy- ment of observing a live hamster. They have been able to see how it lives and grows, and also its habits. Lunch time provides the relaxation and refueling needed by third graders. R. Rinker D. Ritter M. Salyer M. Sanders G.

In their continuing progress reading each student is allowed to continually read at his own level. The prime emphasis in Math is placed on learning the basic concepts of fractions and how to perform simple operations with them. Map reading, important his- torical events in the history of the United States, and differences in the land and people within the United States are part of their American History and Geog- raphy studies. Health and Science involve simple chemical reasoning and a study of the parts of the body and their main functions. Their English language abilities are developed as they continue to build vocabulary and writing skills through writing and re- search. Beginning in the grades, concentration and intent study are the only way to make it. J. Lindborg N. Loomis L. Lovely J. Malstaff A. McKeehan D. Metts D. Metts D. Minix L. Miser P. Mockler J. Nehl R.

Freshman Year, a Stepping Stone The first year of high school seemed no different to the Freshmen than their past two years of junior high. It was the same hus- tling between their classes and loitering about in the halls at noon as before. But as this class grows older it will look back upon their freshman year as a stepping stone. It is that year in their lives that started to change them into the individuals they will someday become. The members of the freshman class and their sponsors, Mrs. Ida Mae Bryant and Mr. David Moore, made plans for a class party in the spring. These sponsors have done a fine job with a class the whole school is proud to know. W. Satkoski D. Schable G. Schlundt R. Schmidt G. Schneider T. Schultz R. Shei D. Smith T. Stephens D. Tarpley D.

The members of the sophomore class can look back on their second year of high school with many fond and happy memories. With their class money, which was obtained from the collecting of students' dues, the sopho- mores put on one of the nicest and most original parties ever held at South Cen- tral . The theme of the party had to do with the modern world, and therefore their ’Psychedelic Party seemed very appropriate. The music for the party was provided by a local popular sing- ing group. Everyone who attended this class party certainly had an enjoyable evening. Some members of the sophomore class worked diligently making the throne for the Homecoming Queen. These people, mostly sophomore girls, worked long hours in the cold weather that accompanied the Homecoming game.

Kathleen Louise Cole Steven Glen Cummings The Senior Class of South Central High School has graduated. With them they took many fond memories of their high school years. Each year was eventful for the Class of '68, but the year that will remaindeeply imbedded in their minds forever is their senior year. So many things happened to the seniors this past year, and each was more important than the next. Mr. George Baker, the senior class sponsor, helped the seniors in all their decisions. Choos- ing their motto, flower, and colors was one of their most difficult tasks, but a final decision was reached after numer- ous discussions. Coral and navy were chosen as class colors, and Tropicana Rose was voted on as their flower. For their motto, the seniors chose, We are the Future. The seniors were also delightfully entertained at the Jr.-Sr. Prom. The following week brought the long-awaited day of graduation. The Class of '68 is gone, but the memory of each individual, and the class as a whole, lives in the mind of every underclassmen at South Central High School.

The chorus participated in the annual Christmas and spring concerts and also sang at baccalaureate and commencement. Many members also took an active part in the spring musical. The largest vocal group at South Central is the junior ments to many songs and also learn to read music high chorus. This chorus is a stepping stone to the high better, school chorus. The members learn four-part arrange- • - - The grade school chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Jane Burns, practiced twice a week. This young vocal group presented two programs for the P.T.A. and also participated in the grade school Christmas and spring programs. Without Music, Life Is a Mistake The choral department at South Cen- tral is one of the largest and most active groups of the school. The music program begins in kinder- garten and is available to students all of the way through high school. Fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students compose the grade school chorus. Seventh and eighth grade students enjoy singing in the junior high chorus. The high school cho- rus is the most active. In October, many members sang in the North Central As- sociation Chorus in South Bend. The Group Singers is a popular vocal group. They have entertained at various school functions and have also sung on Wish Television station, at various lodge meet- ings, and alumni banquets. L. to r. are K. Howell, D. Wright, J. Fryar, B.

These young musicians pre- ticipated in the spring grade school program. Bands Entertain at Concerts The junior high band consists of thirty-nine members. Because of scheduling difficulties, they only have band twice a week. These promising musicians partic- ipated in the annual spring concert on May 5. The officers of the band, 1. to r. are Judy Johnson and Cathy Mohlke, librarians; Ken Yergler, student director; Dick Wright, president; and Peg Gardner, secretary. The high school band participated in the Christmas basketball games and have marched in several par- and spring concerts and at graduation. These experi- ades. enced musicians have also entertained at the home This year the band program, under Mr. Ralph Claudy’s direction, was divided into three levels--high school, junior high, and grade school. In November of this past year the band held a successful candy sale. Many band students participated in the solo and ensemble contest held in February and did an excellent job of re- presenting our school. Although there is a lot of talent, due to scheduling difficulties, the high school band did not participate in the state con- test this year. In April, aptitude tests were given to students interested in joining the band. In May, a meeting was held for the po- tential members to acquaint them with the music program. As in the past years, a summer pro- gram was offered to all band students. This year Christie Wheeler, left, and Ken Yergler, right, represented South Central at the state solo and ensemble contest. Christie received a good rating, and Ken received an Excellent rating. 105 Cheerleaders Cr eate Schoo 1 Spirit Members of the junior varsity cheerleading squad, from top to bottom, are Anne Wake- man, Mary Jo Siegesmund, Arlene Schmidt, and Peg Gardner.

Coach Fettinger and Mike Niksch are all smiles after a very successful meet. The skill of jumping a hurdle is shown by Larry Cunningham. a Verv Good Year. The 1968 track season was very good for South Central--winning all their con- ference meets and being edged out of first place at the county track meet by a small margin. There were some very fine per- formances by the track team, which were led by their captain, Rick Cummins . The Cross-Country team, though not faring very well this year, is building for the future. Led by Coach Erwin, the Cross-Country runners ran fast and furiously in a rugged sport which has little recognition. At die end of the season, Rick Cummins was chosen most valuable runner. Warming up for a vigorous practice are D. Nehl, D. Pulver, L. Gardner, D. Linback, and R. Cummins. A new feature this year at South Central track meets are the track bunnies. Two of these girls are Cathy Mohlke and Mary Beth Shei. Left to Right: D. Linback, Coach Erwin, B. Fryar, D. Pulver, J. Prankus, W. Jones, L. Gardner, R. Cummins, D. Nehl, F. Hundt, M. Baske, A.

In three short years, football has caught on as a major sport here, as shown by this year's 8-1 record. Led by a hard -charging defense and an explosive offense, South Central out- scored her opponents 29 to 13. Most Valuable Back was Quarterback Chuck Emerick and Most Valuable Lineman was End Mike Niksch . Niksch was also placed on the All-Area team by the South Bend Tribune. One of the most exciting moments of a football game is when a player is trying for the all important touchdown, but is stopped before he gets into the end- zone. With the tables turned, South Central's mighty Satellites plan on stopping her opponents before they can even get close to the end-zone. South Central Satellites Enthi The opening tip-off in the S.C. vs. New Carlisle game at the Sectional started an evening of delight. KNEELING: Manager J. Metzinger, D. Yagelski, R. W. Bluhm, C. Emerick, M. Niksch, L. Gardner, and D. Huhnke, Coach Goodnight, K. Swanson, J. Bennett, Nehl. and Manager M. Hart. STANDING: S. King, C. Eaton, Teamwork is essential, and this is easily shown by the help S. King receives from teammates W. Bluhm and C. Emerick. iiastically Record a 19—3 Season Winning basketball is nearly a habit at South Central and this year's team was no exception. Coach Goodnight, with an explosive offense backed by a strong de- fense, led South Central to its 3rd straight Conference Title and an overall record of 19--3. Mr. Fettinger and his B-Team laid the ground-work for more fine South Central teams in the future with a 9--11 record. The B-team, much improved towards the end of the season, gave the S.C. fans many thrilling games and went to the finals of the B-team tourney where they were edged out in the final period. At the annual sports banquet, Mike Niksch received the Rebounding, Free Throw, and Most Valuable Player tro- phies . The agony of waiting for the ball is clearly empha- sized by Chuck Emerick during the county tourney. L. to R.: T. Coni on, D. Leek, L. Gardner, K. Swanson, M. Grieger, B. Fryar, C. Sahloff, D.

An important part of baseball is the ability to solidly hit the ball, shown by Artie Fryman. The South Central baseball team had an ex- ceptionally good season this year winding up their 1968 campaign with a 13-6 record. The mighty Satel - lites were sparked on by Coach Richard Surowiec, who received much de- served praise after lead- ing his first-year team to runner-up honors at the Michigan City Sectionals. The South Central team played exceptionally well in the sectional and were playing a good game against the LaPorte Slic- ers, however, the LaPorte team outscored the Satel- lites 4 to 2. Pep Sessions Encourage All South Central Teams. This year many pep sessions were held. At these sessions, skits were pre- sented by the cheerleaders and various organizations in school. The students also received many rousing and spirited talks from the coaches and faculty. These sessions were very successful in their purpose, relieving tension and building spirit. 121 Thru These Doors ADVERTISING State Farm Insurance As Near as Your Phone Call Hanna 797-3785 Don Jessup, Agent Hanna, Indiana THE NEWS-DISPATCH Michigan City, Indiana DIXIE DAIRY JIM'S CITGO SERVICE 1122 Lincolnway LaPorte, Indiana 362-9245 FARM BUREAU INSURANCE Bill Johnson, Agent Phone: Bus.
