THE ANNIVERSARY YEARS FROM 1963 TO 1972 The year 1972 is the tenth anniversary of South Central. Back in 1963 the Clinton-Hanna-Noble School Corporation consolidated its three schools of Union Mills (RIGHT), Hanna (BELOW), Clinton (BOTTOM RIGHT) and became known as the South Central School. The entire student body at this time voted on a nickname and school colors; the nickname became SATELLITES and the school colors RED, WHITE, and BLUE. ECHO I was the first yearbook of South Central. It was named after the communications satellite ECHO I launched primarily at the same time. The old Union Mills school served as the high school for three years for students from Clin- ton, Hanna, and No- ble townships. Pic- tures of students during these early years of South Cen- tral are shown on this page. ♦ After years of planning, and months of anticipation, the move to the new South Central School in 1965 became a reality. Pictured above is an aerial viev of the construction site. Ground-break- ing ceremonies, below, took place in May 1964. The entire student body, teachers, administration, and school board participated. Then after many months of hard work the building was ready for occupancy at the beginning of the 1965-66 school year. Dedication ceremonies were held in September of 1965. The faculty members who have been at South Central since its first year, or in the school corporation even before 1963, are pictured ABOVE.

Niksch 39 1967 t Many changes have taken place within a span of ten years. Since the communications satellite ECHO I is no longer orbiting the earth, a name change at this time seemed most appropriate. Therefore, the Annual Staff has renamed the yearbook to the ORBIT in commemora- tion of the ten years that the South Central Satellites have been in orbit. We, of the South Central Annual Staff, have been proud to present this issue of the past and present for the Tenth Anniversary of South Central School. 1966 Sue Kneisley 1967 Janice Grieger 1968 Cathy Deardorff Bonnie Szilagyi 1969 Peggy Gardner Karen Kammrath 1970 Kathy Grott Cindy Freeman 1971 Sue Matuszak 1972 Norma Schlundt Donna Metts ANNUAL STAFF EDITORS 1963-1972 I£FT TO RIGHT 1963 Rita Bucher Norma Wineholt 1964 Steve Bucher 1965 Susie Beahler SENIORS “LIVE FOR TODAY FOR THERE ARE NO TOMORROWS’’ On May 21, 1972, 46 of us walked up the aisle to the stage and received our diplomas.

The juniors worked hard selling: magazines, mums for homecoming, and concessions at games. Making many of the difficult deci- sions concerning the prom seemed to be a major task this year. The junior sponsors this year were Mrs. Ruth Grieger and Mr. James Jonas. Hurry up, Beth. We gotta get out there before those Freshmen girls do. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS L.

They have had two years of junior high and two years of high school. During the sophomore year class activities are somewhat Middle of the road. They don't do a lot, but are faced with the pro- blems of which ring do I want? and what should the homecoming display be? The sophomore class sponsors were Miss Wroblewski and Mr. Fettinger.

There are a few obvious clues. 1) A seventh grader always runs through the hall. 2) A sev- enth grader very seldom knows what is going on. 3) A seventh grader is the first one to class--by at least 5 minutes, ALWAYS!

School spirit was ignited by skits and yells. Each class made a spirit display, sophomores constructed the queen's throne, and the juniors sold mums. At half time, Norma Schlundt was crowned 1971 Homecoming Queen. Her court consisted of seniors: Pam Mer- kel and Amy Howell; junior Mary Gard- ner; sophomore, Eileen Ososki; and freshman, Jennifer Doms. After the crowning, the court takes a convertible ride. As the bonfire slowly dies, two underclassman look on. The fans cheered the Satellites as yards were gained. 38 Karen, Barb, Melody, Alice, and JoAnn, along with the other pom pon girls, perform at halftime. Juniors display their fighting spirit . A deflated football was displayed by the Freshmen. HOMECOMING COURT AND ESCORTS L. TO R.

Black For a change of pace the South Central Drama Club presented the full length com- edy, UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE . The setting was a classroom in New York City. The students eventually rallied behind Sylvia Barrett 95% of the way, but the audience's approval was 100% . The class A” cast pose happily for the cameraman. The grade school enjoyed a convo by Harry Volkman. Can this be true? HARRY VOLK- MAN actually setting foot on SC ground? Yes, it was. Then the UNIVERSE OF SOUND made a landing from heaven and ... sung spiritual and gospel tunes that were enjoyed by Christians and sinners alike. Later, the Saints Came March- ing In, as the SOUTH CENTRAL BAND performed two concerts with Earl Wer- ner, student director, conducting one of the symphonies. At Christmas time the THESPIANS and the CHOIR put on a pro- gram to ring in” the Yuletide season. At the Christmas program the Chorus provided the music and the Thespians acted out a skit. jf y L 3 ' j; I A I jfj' ; J iLi WEST SIDE Maria, Carol Goodwin; and Anita, Barb Kitchell; discuss the upcoming gym dance. STORY North side, south side, east side, WEST SIDE STORY. Cool finger snapping, heated disagreements, and first de- gree murder were all por- trayed in the 1972 spring mu- sical. The play was not all violence and hate, it was also about love and understanding. The action of the play only went to show that perhaps be- hind some dark street corners, there is a silver lining .

It's tradi- tion that it rains on the night of all nights --PROM NIGHT! But it is also traditional for the S.C. Prom goers not to let the rain dampen their spirits. This year it did rain (of course) but the festivities went on as planned with Yesterday, Today and. Tomorrow per- forming at the Prom dinner. Then, every- one was whisked away to the Premier Theater in Valparaiso where the film of AIRPORT was shown. After a few quick changes, it was back to the school where the breakfast was held and the fabulous Madison Zane provided the Sunday morning music. 47 Mary and Jon talk about the prom.

It was hard to be- lieve that in less than 60 minutes the climax of twelve long years of school, with many fond memories, came to an abrupt halt. Janet helps Earl get it on. 49 kIHMhOO 5A02033 r 20HH Z Perhaps one of the most distinguished honors that a student may receive during his high school years, is to be inducted into the National Honor Society. This society only recognizes the highest in scholastic achievement, leadership, character, and service. This year the society inducted 12 new members. To raise money for a $150 scholarship, die club maintained the coat check and sold ice cream.

After a vigorous politicking campaign, the president of the student senate is elected by the student body. The functions they performed are varied. This year they sponsor- ed a series of fractured flickers that were shown during the noon hours. Jo and John think about the ideas put before them. s T U D E N Y S E N A T E STUDENT SENATE: L. TO R.

SC BAND HAS “FRUIT BONANZA’’ They have marched through the streets of the windy city, spread the goodness of Texas fruit, got lost among the Tulips in the Holland Tulip Festival, and performed a few concerts which had the audience wondering if they weren't the New York Phil-Harmonic Orchestra in disguise. Well folks, meet the SC band. BAND OFFICERS, Vice-Pres., Brian Guse; Sec. and Treas. , Karen Owen, and Mark Buchanan; and Pres. , Earl Werner, show off the trophy the band won at the summer parade. The SC Band marched at the July 4th parade in LaPorte. 54 AVEZ-VOUS PARTICIPE AU CERLE FRANCAIS? This year, the French Club members loaded on a bus to Chicago where they saw the award-winning play Sleuth and dined at the La Tour Restaurant. Spine-tingling suspense accompanied the two thriller films that were shown as a money making project. 'What's for dessert? 56 Fern says French pastry is great! 1971-72 GERMAN CLUB GERMAN CLUB “ON THE MOVE” The highlight of the year for the Ger- man Club was to sponsor South Central’s first foreign exchange student. Ditmar Rettberg came to South Central as a true foreigner, but left as one of the gang. It was a new experience for all, and a real pleasure to have him. To help finance this project, the German Club sponsored the annual Sr-Faculty basketball game which was won by the seniors in overtime! The German Club gave a farewell party in Ditmar's honor and the entire student body wishes him the best of luck in the future. Auf Wiedersehen! LEFT: Ditmar Rettberg. ABOVE: Jump up, guys.

It was a loveable evening for all! JUNIOR HIGH F.H.A. 1971-72 HEALTH CAREERS STUDENTS PLAN FOR HEALTH CAREERS The Health Careers had a busy year as they went on field trips and sold SC T-shirts. They sponsored a spagetti dinner as a money-making project. This was for the purpose of sending the spe- cial education students to summer camp. 60 The golf pros of tomorrow! Aside from the usual reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic, new mini courses were added to the curricu- lum. They included golf, taught by Mr. Hooper; chess, taught by Mr. Potrzebowski; guitar playing, taught by Mr. Thrak; and macrame', taught by Mrs. Wallace. These new short courses lasted for a total of two weeks for each separate class. Whoever said that learning was a drag, sure nev- er heard of Mini Classes! I've got you trapped now, Al! 61 Fern and Karla work enthusiastically on the yearbook. Editors Norma and Donna take time out of their busy schedules to pose for the camera. Cropping the wrong pictures, not cen- tering headlines, searching for lost pic- tures and pages, making room for copy when there isn't any, meetings after school and during vacations, trying to meet the next deadline, and proofreading copy that has been proofread three times before, are just some of the numerous headaches and minor inconveniences that the annual staff went through in order to throw together this year's book. ■ r Pam and Fern hash it over about the page their work- ing on.

Carol, your make-up is smeared. Okay, let's try it again from the top. Many long hours of hot lights, re-rehearsed scenes, and assembling the set are a small part of what the Drama Ciub goes through. If one spends 100 hours or more working amidst all the confusion, he is rewarded with the title of Thespian. Barb sings Every litter bit helps. THESPIANS PUT IN THEIR HOURS CHORUS ENTERTAINS STUDENTS Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do! is a somewhat familiar sound around the chorus room. The Advanced Chorus sung their way into the hearts of many as they serenaded the top picture: Advanced chorus, student body during convocations and at the bottom picture: General chorus, oratorical contests. They may not have sounded like the Morman Tabernacle Choir, but they sounded great all the same! 66 CHICAGO PARADE HIGHLIGHTS YEAR The Pom-Pon Corps had a busy, but very exciting season this year. They march- ed along with the band in various parades during the season. In December the entire squad accompanied the band to the annual Chicago Christmas Parade. They performed at half time during the home basketball games. On May 20, the corps and band tip-toed through the tulips in the Tulip Festival at Holland, Michigan. Becky gives her last performance.

When things looked bad and the spirit was low, the South Central cheerleaders did their best to get the fans to yell. The cheerleaders this past year, as in the past, have done a fine job, and any de- spondent fan could have looked at any cheerleader and found a ray of hope. This year, to raise funds, the cheer- leaders sold buttons that helped to spread and promote school spirit. Evon shows off one of her numerous talents.

In basketball the seventh grade had its problems with only 1 win and 9 losses. The eighth grade had a great year, pick- ing up 13 wins and 3 defeats. They brought home the trophy by winning the county tourney and proving that they were the best in the area. Everyone waits for the quarterback's signal. THE JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM, FRONT ROW: A.

The Satellites ended with only a 6-15 record but showed everyone that they could play good ball. The big games this year were beating Boone Grove, Marquette, and Westville. They lost a few games by a narrow margin. The Satellite fans hopefully will have a lot to yell about in the future, as up-coming teams show a lot of promise.

In this dimly lit room, a pri- vate gathering of utmost im- portance takes place. Here the South Central School Board burns the Mid- night Oil, while deciding the pressing issues that face the school. Mrs. Dorthy Rosenbaum is the secretary of the C-H-N Con- solidated School Corporation. THE 1971-72 SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS ARE FRONT ROW L. TO R.: L. Thalman, W. Wake- man, L. Huhnke. BACK ROW: W. Werner, R. Vick, and Superintendent J. Dunk. SCHOOL BOARD Mrs. Dorthy Rosenbaum 94 MR. JOHN R. DUNK For ten long years here at good old S. C., Mr. John R. Dunk has been our ev- er-so-faithful superintendent. It is known that it takes much deter- mination and loy- alty to stick with such a job, as Mr. Dunk has done. Gosh, how do you do it? Mr. Dunk's secretary is Mrs. Evenell Hornsby. SUPERINTENDENT Mrs. Evenell Hornsby. 95 HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Behind that closed door label- ed Principal, there is a firm but understanding type of man who, on occasion may lose his temper but al- ways seems to find it again. This man turns to the social side of school and mingles with the students. Sometimes the paperwork gets to be a bit too much, but with the aid of his faith- ful secretary, things somehow always managed to be done. Who is this man? Mr. Keith Piper. Who is his assistant? Mrs. Luann Ross. Mr. Keith Piper, South Central High School Principal. Mr. Piper's secretary, Mrs. Luann Ross. 96 Elementary Principal, Ivan J. Wengerd Elementary Secretary, Mrs. Mary Wakeman. Each Monday through Friday, an- other school day be- gins in the life of Mr. IvanJ. Wengerd, the elementary principal, and his faithful assis- tant, Mrs. Mary Wakeman. Their mis- sion: to count lunch money, keep all ap- pointments, count pic- ture money, fight the evils of unbalanced books, count milk money, get the bulle- tin typed and run off in time for the three o'clock dismissal, count insurance mon- ey, and numerous other things, besides trying to keep a NEAT desk top by removing all pint-sized fin- gerprints at the end of the day. ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL 97 TEACHERS HAVE “ENDLESS ENERGY” T is for Trigonometry, E is for English, A is for Art, C is for Commerce, H is for Home Economics, E is for Elementary, R is for Remedial Reading, and S is for STUDY! What does that spell? TEACHERS! They have taken part in noon hour volleyball games, and even taken on the mighty seniors in a basketball game! They have had the courage to take field trips to South Bend and Chicago with a bus load of untamed energy.' Central teachers have spunk!

THOMAS LEWIS MISS CHERYL BRINKMAN Mathematics Student teacher Mathematics South Central had an abundance of student teachers this year. There was a total of five, who taught in five different areas. Mr. William Jensen handled the social studies classes for a time, while in the mathematics department, Miss Cheryl Brinkman taught her 1,2,3's . Mr. David Taylor (picture not available) taught some of the wonders of science, and Miss Linda Krack (picture not available) showed Betty Crocker that she wasn't the only one who could bake a cake! Mr. Stephen Ihde helped with the boys' phy- sical education classes. 101 MISS SHERIDAN JOHNSON Business Education MR. GORDON SCHERMER English The faculty cheerleaders await the arrival of the mighty faculty players. At the Senior-Faculty game, the Fac- ulty intended to teach the Seniors a lesson in basketball, but the Seniors had other ideas. The series stands now at 1-2 as the faculty won the first game in 1970. Cheerleaders for the faculty were Mrs. Mixis, Miss Krack, Miss Johnson, and Miss Rea. The game was a thriller as the Sen- iors beat the Faculty in an overtime, 78-72. MRS. HELEN VERKLER Business Education 102 COUNSELOR AND NURSE AID STUDENTS. Mrs. Katherine Mixis is behind a little on her paper Mrs. Mixis takes Billy's temperature to see if he is ill. work. 103 Mr. Turak enjoys socializing with the Seniors at noon. You ate a case and a half of oranges, sixteen candy bars, and a dozen Tootsie Rolls, and you say you don't feel well? Quick, let me take your temperature! And there is no one more qualified to do that than our very own Katherine Mixis, R. N., the school nurse. Mr. Harry Turak, our guidance counselor, has time to smile between everyone's problems. We have all heard of Harry Volkman, Harry Truman, and Tom, Dick, and Harry, but there isn't a student at South Central who hasn't heard of that geetar pickin' guidance counselor... Harry Turak!!! He claims that he is not a pro- fessional, but we all know that he is just modest! COOKS “STIR JP’ THINGS It's finger-lickin' good! The kitchen staff at South Central really did get things stirred up , including appe- tites. When taste-tempting aromas started filtering through the air, everyone knew that a great meal was not far away. Mrs. Bishop chuckles while preparing the noon meal. BUSDRIVERS GIVE STUDENTS A “LIFT” ...........at the end of the day!! 104 JANITORS MAKE “CLEAN SWEEP” The S. C. Janitorial team followed the ecology movement as they washed smog covered windows, changed defunct light- bulbs, and made a clean sweep in the hallways. Our thanks to these Ecology Crusaders .

Webb, and E. Weinkauff, (not pictured, Mrs. Betty Sacks and Ronald Wallace). Nerves of steel, a cast- iron stomach, and out-of- tune eardrums, are a few of the qualifications a bus driv- er must have five days a week throughout the entire school year. But what thanks do we give these brave, courageous and bold people? A WHOLE BUSLOAD OF THANKS! 105 German students take tests, too. SOLL GANZ TOLL SEIN Heaven help us all. Ditmar is all-American. The students axe what made this year's German classes unique. Mr. Jessup, the teacher, had a super-duper teacher's aid in the per- son Ditmar Rettberg,the foreign exchange student direct from Germany. 108 Senior girls get a kick out of German. 'Germans put on a happy face. “FRENCH” MADE EASY Holy Crepe Suzettes! The Leaning Tower of Pizza is not in Paris, France! The French class learned a few of the landmarks and sights in France and some of its culture. Needless to say the Leaning Tower of Pizza and the Berlin Wall were NOT in their stud- ies of France. Joan tries to read back what she has written. The bulletin board interests the French students. 109 Jim works on his assignment. Miss Dixon looks over Dana and Jackie's work. You mean I'm suppose to do all of these papers? What do Romeo and Jul- iet, a prepositional phrase, Samuel Clemons, a speech on How to Bronze Your Baby Shoes, have to do with each other?

ABOVE: To each his own. 110 Algebra has Joanne stumped. Dale tries to solve a math problem. A race to the finish. Peter is sent to the head of the class. Take the cubic root of 43, divide it by A squared, add 647 to this, multiply by eight and then take the integer of B=x-2, and what do you get? A nonexistent number because the whole problem was made up by the copywriter to fake you out! Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go finish my math. Let's see, 72-47= ABOVE, Mr. Hooper is amazed that the Seniors can think! BELOW, Getting a lecture, studying, or just lis- tening to a joke? GOVERNMENT CLASS HAD MOCK TRIAL ABOVE, Pat Conlon peeks to see if Mr. Hooper is coming. BELOW, Doesn't anyone listen to the teacher? Social Studies plays an important part in the South Central curriculum. Mr. Hooper and Mr. Potrzebowski taught the classes of World History, U.S. History, Government, Sociology, and junior high history. Maps, trials, panel discussions, and reports were some class activities. The Sociology class made video tapes on various topics. ' S r BUSINESS SKILLS PROVE HANDY Mrs. Verkler checks the work of Pat and Deb. Wait a minute ! Business skills come in handy for any strident no matter what career they have in mind. The South Central Commerce Department consists of Typing I, Typing II, Shorthand, Business Math, Bookkeep- ing, and General Business. Mrs. Helen Verkler and Miss Sheridan Johnson teach these business skills. Marianne finished up her Executary project. Okay, now I'm ready! Paul copies a lot. It better work this time ! A.V. DEPARTMENT IS KEPT BUSY In the jungle of dangling cords, rolls of tangled video tape, lurks microphones and speakers, and the silent movie projector. Lost in the midst of this maze is a librarian. He searches out the silent projector, the speaker, and the tape, and then gropes his way back to the classroom to exhibit what is hidden on the tape. And afterwards the pro- jector becomes silent once more and returns to the depths of the jungle. It's no Sesame Street, but it'll do. 114 SCIENTISTS PERFORM SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS Rita mixes her martini? The science labs this year were used for various experiments. Chem- icals, microscopes, thermometers, and disection equipment all helped to make the experiments a success. General science, physical science, biology, chemistry, and physics are the sciences offered at South Central. Mr. Baker and Mr. Siegesmund taught these classes. Just a little more of this ought to do it. Now I know it's under here somewhere ! Rick, you HAVE to plug it in! STUDENT FAIR “SHOWS OFF” SHOP TALENT It's called a whatcha-ma-call- it but it can very easily be turned into an ashtray. Last week I made a whatcha-ma-jigger, but it ended up as a thing-a-ma-bob. Well, it's back to the old drawing board. These were just a few of the in- teresting exhibits that were on dis- play at the student art fair. Matt, Tom, and Paul discuss their assignment. Ralph L. looks everything over. Ditmai gets it together in shop class. “HALF-DAY” STUDENTS Teresa, Cathy, Chris and Louise seem to be happy about their part-time jobs. The I.C. T. students took time off from their part-time training to enjoy a pizza party at Mr. Clindaniel's home in Novem- ber. The students carry the required school subjects in the morning and are trained in the afternoon. Funeral direc- tor, hairdressing and mechanics are just a few of the interesting fields the students are being trained in. RickJ., Fred B., Rick W., and Roger H., put their training to good use. The 1971-72 I.C.T. Class 117 JOURNALISM PRINTS ‘SATELLITE NEWS’’ Are you going to have that copy ready in time? What happened to page 105 of the yearbook? This sentence is too long, and that spelling is atrocious! Hurry up with that late sports bulletin, we have ten minutes to have 1000 copies of the Satellite News printed. What mixed up, jumbled up class is this? It's journalism class, where there is never a repetitious moment. ABOVE, Becky and Sue identify pictures. OVER, Colleen exercises her fingers. BELOW, I lost that page again! Art students decorated the bulletin board for Christmas with Charlie Brown and his gang. Terry enjoys art class as he carves from plaster. ART CLASS “CREATES” Gosh Paul, that's really great!... What is it? Art class this year really turned out some weird creations. The big thing was the art of macrame, when students made belts with strands of rope. Any student who has a liking for creativ- ity doesn't have to go to an art museum, just take a tour of Room 105 to discover the latest in artwork. Dave is reaching the end of his rope as he finishes his macram project. 119 TRY IT! YOU’LL LIKE IT! Some of South Central's future cooks may well be in the making at the Home Ec. room. Old recipes were rehashed and some new ones tried. When it came to the new ones, some students were a little hesitant to try them. But, Miss Rea's words of confidence were, Try it, you'll like it. They did try it, and after- wards found themselves saying, I can't believe I ate the whole thingl Come and get it! Pat, Colleen and Karla enjoy making pretzels. Junior boys show that women aren't the only good cooks. Chris and Sherry work on their home projects. Tom and Tom have a gift for making pizzas. 120 One, two,... one, two,... legs straight. REBOUND! !! P.E. CLASS REALLY “SWEATS” IT UP! Bill shows how to maneuver the ball. This year's P.E. classes en- joyed softball, basketball, volley- ball, stunts, and a lot of good 'ol exercises. The classes were taught by Miss Wroblewski, Mr. Hammel, and Mr. Ihde, a student teacher. Stick 'em up! Cathy displays the art of juggling basketballs. Do you have a building permit? 121 GRADES SIXTH GRADE “SPRECHENS DEUTCH” The sixth graders had a new thing added to their learning this year, as they were taught a few of the basics of Ger- man, The teachers were students from fourth-year German class. They have also been active in science, as a culture of protozoa formed by the class, was ex- tensively studied. Imaginary tours of Eu- rope and South America highlighted the social studies department. SIXTH GRADE TEACHER L. TO R. are Mrs. Anna Bloom, Mrs. Betty Schwan, and Mrs. Linda Rasanen. Abshire, M.

They viewed a space exhibition at South Bend, and saw the famous Shrine Circus per- form at Notre Dame. They also traveled to the Field Museum in Chicago and toured the many unique exhibits. Back at home, they were kept busy acting out plays, reading, learning the basics of language, and doing some creative art work. Abshire, M. Ames, D. Baker, B. Beehler, D. Bennett, R. Berg, F.

FOURTH GRADE PIONEERS EARLY INDIANA Murals, picture history books, and log cabins could all be seen in the fourth grade rooms of Miss Marcia Karner, Mrs. Lois Selby, and Mr. Charles Sanders. The exhibits were made by the students to help give them a better under- standing of what pioneer life in Indiana was really like. These, along with world-wide news re- ports and informative bulletin board displays, were all done by FOURTH GRADE TEACHERS L. TO R. are Miss Marcia Karner, the students themselves.

Pictures of animals were gathered, and the student with the most pictures was declared the winner. For a time the third grade rooms served as temporary forests”. There were no dull book reports, as the variety was endless. Characters were re-created, acted out, cut out of paper, and otherwise illustrated. They also wrote their own plays, riddles, and tongue twisters. Imaginary trips to the world's des- erts, hand-made books on pioneers and Pilgrims, and the study of Indian culture were all enjoyed in the social studies area. Hostetler, T. Howell, D. Howell, N.

Then they took a trip to the Fasel Bakery and saw how bread was made. They also traveled to Chicago and toured the Field Mu- seum and the Shed Aquarium. One of the projects of the second graders was to learn about milk, its sources, process, and products. Home made ice cream and butter were also made and enjoyed. Albrecht, J. Aim, D. Ames, S.

Then a tasting party was held as all of the products made from milk were sampled. In addition, they tried to make bread like grandma does. Puppet shows and musical instruments could also be heard and seen. Puppets and instruments, made by the students, danced and tooted about on a puppet stage. On the science scene, there was a study of the weather, the present day cal- endar, and static electricity. Bet they got a shock out of their findings! THE FRIST GRADE TEACHERS L.

Once a week, the students enjoyed a swimming pro- gram at the home of Mrs. J. Hutton. They showed their artistic talents by making decorations for a spaghetti din- ner which the Health Careers sponsored for them. Mrs. James Hutton teaches the special ed. class how to float and some of the other techniques of swimming. BELOW: Mrs. J. Shireman is the special ed. teacher. Becker, J. Crockett, B. Darnell, D.

It would not be proper without a final word from the ORBIT 10 STAFF staff, particularly on an anniversary edition. We, of the ORBIT EDITORS: NORMA SCHUJNDT AND STAFF, have had our ups and downs as past annual staffers have DONNA METTS had. We have followed a tradition of typing the wrong name in the JR. EDITORS: NANCY BISHOP AND MARY wrong place, messing up more than one layout, losing at least one HERROLD picture, and just misplacing things. Really, it was interesting, fun, PHOTOGRAPHERS: IIKE HURNI AND and a lot of work. The ORBIT STAFF hopes that they have brought JANET BECKER you a book you will never forget. The staff also wishes to thank Mr. COPY EDITOR: MIKE HURNI R. S. Sutula for the developing of pictures and Mrs. Helen Verkler, LAYOUTS AND ADVERTISING: KARLA our advisor, who made us stick to it to the end. Our American MASTERSON, BECKY DEUITCH, RAY Yearbook Award of Excellence for meeting all our deadlines on time RINKER, CATHY BLACK, PAM WAKE- this year is a first .
