SpeedWay's 'Fighting Elevenl' compiled a season record of 4 wins, 2 losses, and 2 ties. Coach Johnsons men got off to a shaky start by taking a 32-13 defeat at the hands of Dan- ville,s WVarriors, but they came bouncing right back the next week and gained a 32-7 verdict over Decatur Central,s Hawks. In their third game of the season the Plugs led throughout the game, but with 59 seconds to go, undefeated Brownsburg pulled over for the T. D. to secure a 20-20 tie. Friday, September 30, things went bad for the Fighting Elevenv and they took a 26-0 shellacking from undefeated Lawrence Central. 12 Student Manager for the football team, Mike Hesselgrave Coaches Clyde 59.1166 lv-1f51tY Basketball? Ralph 101111 The following Friday the men from Speed- way ran up against Warren Central and walked off the field with a 7-7 tie under their belt. The Plugs finished the last three games in a blaze of glory, winning all three, and holding the opponents scoreless in two of these con- tests, while scoring 69 points themselves. The three defeated opponents were Beech Grove, 13-0, Plainfield, 21-18, and Pike Township, 35-O. These three Wins brought the season record up to a respectable 4-2-2. The ,55-'56 Plugs, led by Senior Co-Captains Bill Healey and Fred Scott, are to be congratulated on a well-played, win- ning season.

They won the afternoon game from Clayton by a score of 70-53. They came back after the intermission and copped the championship game over the the host team, Plainfield, by the scanty margin of one point, 50-49.

In the semi-finals the Plugs had their coldest game of the season. They lost to Ben Davis by an 84-56 score. On the 27th of january the Speedway squad traveled to Lawrence Central where they lost a 54-50 decision to the Bears. The very next night Coach Sallee and his boys lost a heart- breaker at NVashington in an overtime, 87-85. The Plugs gave Ben Davis and Zionsville scares on the nights of February 3 and 4, respectively, but they lost both encounters by scores of 78-71 at Ben Davis and by 75-69 against Zionsville. Decatur Central visited the Speedway gym on February 10 for a Mid-State battle, but the Sparkplugs turned them back for the second time of the season, 77-66. The last home game for Speedway decided the outcome of the Mid-State Conference race. The Plugs needed a win for a share of the Conference title with Mooresville. The Plugs' opponent, Greenwood, put up a good fight, but tell by one point, 68-67, as joe Cork scored the winning Held goal with just seconds remaining. The Speedway team began their journeys to the Danville Sectional, XVednesday, February 23. They succeeded in downing Avon by a score of 62-55, but when they returned on Friday, they fell to Danville, 49-45.

BOPPI ' THE BEAT Rock, Cornets, Rocky was a familiar cry during basketball season, and that is just what they did. The Pep Band was truly loaded With PEP! They played at four home games, and furnished the musical background Which is so popular at games these days. Sporting their gold shirts with the brown letters PEP BAND on the back, they set the tempo with Bleacher Boogief, 'iBook Around the Clockf' and others. This is the second year for the Pep Band, and it is proving more suc- cessful all the time. One of the things the fans liked most, was when Mr. Wicker started bop- ping out the beat on the drums. The Pep Band really is an instrument in getting the fans all enthusiastic at a game. YVho Wouldn't be excited when they start firing those jump tunes at you? The Pep Band has found its niche at S.H.S.. and the students Want it kept that Way. PEP BAND lfUfffHlIi.lllll McAllister. Marilyn Winter. Sharon Dino. Nancy Lewis.

Lippard, Fred Amich, Ron Akers, John Thorne, Anne Lynch, Ken Smith, Judy Jordan, Karen Green, Perry Cantwell, Linda Toole, Tom Neat How the world loves a comedy fantasy, and the students at S.H.S. are no different. At least thatis what the Juniors set out to prove with their version of Green Valley. Their efforts proved to be very successful, as their play was an instant hit. The scenery, designed by Fred Amich, did a great deal to put the audience into the mood of the setting. The play, written by Frank Watron, featured Jim Wood, a quiet, rather dumb country boy, and Judy White, a sweet country girl with a good head on her shoulders. John Thorne portrayed a big Eastern landowner, who would do anything to increase his holdings. Kenny Smith stole the show with his portrayal of Lonesome, a rather mentally retarded soul. Standing-XV.

Kryter Mr. S. Robert McMahon President Tre isurer Secretary Early September, 1955, brought the end to sum- mer and the beginning to another school year at Speedway. The faculty had planned the working days for all of those concerned. At this time, the total number on the high school faculty was 22. This was quite a contrast to the big 10,' faculty of S.H.S. in 1941, when the first Speed- ette annual was published. Others of the administrative set, other than the faculty, are the custodians, matron, office staff, and the school board which is composed of three citizens of Speedway. The school nurse serves as a 'cClara Bartonv for both the high school and the grade schools. The school librarian also has a full-time job. Although he has no classes to instruct, he must manage and direct the library and its contents-its contents meaning not only books but also our growing student body. Superintendent of the Speedway Schools Mr. Richard C. Jordan Speedway High School Principal Mr. Lawrence Thompson The complete administrative branch of Speed- way is and always shall be a blend of industri- ousness and friendliness-a versatile group of Americans helping those who seek education, ever encouraging and enthusiastic. We welcomed four new teachers to our high school faculty this school year and hope these new members are quite at home in Speedway. Miss Janice Clouse of Hope, Indiana, is a gradu- ate of Purdue University and is now teaching junior high and senior high homemaking classes. She is also sponsor of Future Homemakers of America. Mr. Homer Dorrell teaches junior high science classes. Mr. Dorrellis home town is Akron, Indi- ana, and he previously taught at the Akron High School. Mrs. Frances MacCollum, a Depauw graduate, began her teaching career at Speedway with freshman English and girls, physical education. She also is the guiding power for the Girls, Ath- letic Association. Miss Shirley Waltz, the newest addition, teaches freshman English, and high school and junior high art classes. These four new additions to the faculty have been fine guides for the students this year and their anewnessv brought an introduction to new trends, enthusiastically accepted. Mrs. Charlene Musgrave, secretary to Mr. Thompson, Mrs. Norma Hawkins, secretary to Mr. Jordan, Mr. Herbert Beatty, school librarian, Mrs. Ruth Beck, school nurse. MR.

These three people have been responsible for the clean condition in which S.H.S. is always found. They are Mr. Wagner, Mr. English, and Mrs. Scott. Mr. English, who passed away this year, was replaced by Mr. Overrnan. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Marilyn Winter-Secretary, Deane Smith-Vice President, Jim Bledsoe-Treasurer, Bob Kryter- President Mr. Trosky and Mr. Thompson-Co-sponsors The Guys and Dolls of the 'Class of 1956 Here are the Hfty-nine finalists in the class of 1956. They have known many more 8th hours, essays, operettas, plays, and general confusion than anyone else within the walls and halls of S.H.S.-Why?-because they are seniors!! The class has worked against time in these 12 years for there never seems to be enough of it for 8th hours, essays, etc. After graduation these fifty-nine may never meet as a whole body again but they always will remember each other by each individual set of mannersisms-59- brands. Marilyn Woodward receives the Daughters of American Revolu- tion Citizenship Award from Mr. Thompson. Maryellen Fo- garty and Lois Kojola were run- ners-up in the contest.

History of The Class of '56 In September, 1944, thirty of the present fifty- nine members of the Class of ,56 entered the doors of Speedway Grade School jil. Their steps were guided by Miss Knetzer and Mrs. Rhinehard, first grade teachers. School was a completely new routine to them and the word atardyv presented a picture of after-school con- ferences with teacher. Little did they know that later on they would be requested to pay half hour pentalties in the eighth hour study hall for the same offense. The years progressed and before they knew it, they were the much admired sixth graders. The class, along with Mrs. Kessler, sponsored the school paper, The F lash. Editors, at last! In the spring of their sixth year Mrs. Kessleris Mighty Five challenged Mr. McClelland's Famous Fel- lows in the annual Sixth Grade Bastketball Game. The Mighty Five won but had strong competition from Terry Arkeyv Vaughn, of the Famous Fellows. The yells were lead with much enthusiasm by Anne Burton, Sharlene Stone, Sandy Manion, and Marilyn Winter from Mrs. Kessleris room. Mr. McCle1land's room boasted Carol Fidler, Janis Hash, Bev Erwin, and Mari- lyn VVoodward as their champion cheerleaders. After sixth grade year was passed, a strange thing happened. The class of ,56 became what is called Seventh Graders. r Excitedly we journeyed our way through our daily classes, seeing not the sly glances of teach- ers and the encouraging smiles of seniors. We chose Dean as class president, joe Cork, veep, Marilyn Woodward, secretary, and Bob Fehr, treasurer to lead us in our beginning 'cBig Timef' Our basketball team came out on top with four wins-no losses. We started our Freshman year with cold feet and advanced to gunny sacks. The seniors hon- ored us by crowning Anne Burton as Frosh Queen and jerry Graybill as Frosh King. But never say die to a partly-bewildered freshman class for one such as ours will answer with fine class oflicers like Bob Fehr, president, Deane Smith, veep, Marilyn Winter, secretary, and Marilyn Woodward, treasurer, to pull them through. This was the first year for a student-wide elec- tion of president and vice-president of Student Council. Bob Kryter was chosen as Vice-Presi- dent to serve under President Tom Genung. As sophomores, Marilyn Woodward and Carol Fidler were chosen as varsity cheerleaders. Our junior year was here at last. Our play, The Hoosier Schoolmasterf' with 27 in the cast, was a big success on both of the two night runs. The reception held at the Indiana University Medical Center was a dream-come-true for juniors and seniors alike . . . a glamorous night on the town! ! With class rings sparklin, we traveled onward with Deane Smith as president, Bob Kryter, I H istory is completed on page 762 MISS 81 MR. S.H.S Marilyn Woodward and Bill Healey were unanimously selected by a vote of the students of S.H.S. as the two senior students possessing outstanding personal- ity traits, general appearance, and special abilities. Our hats are off to Marilyn ' and Bill, Miss and Mr. S.H.S. Class Will We, the class of '56, Hard as nails, rough as bricks, Will to you, our underclassmen, Our most prized possessions. And boy! Weive got some! JOAN BLACK wills her sick relatives back to Mr. Sallee's health class. BOB KRYTER wills his knack to go steady to Nancy Herron who just canlt quite find the right boy. JOE CORK wills his golf ability and patience to Mr. Weller, who has the ability but not the patience., BOB LEDBETTER and LARRY SHINKLE will their jobs to any fortunate underclassmen who would like to get ahead. We understand their starting ay is 56c an hour plus all you can eat-right, BOB and Larry? CAROL FIDLER wills her ability to stay with one guy for four years to Linda Houpt who can't stay with one guy for four weeks.

Date: June 21, 1986 Place: Corky's Driving Range This is a momentous occasion. The first passenger rocket, designed and built by Raydell Oliver and Charles Gebauer, is ready to depart for colonization on . . . the Moon! On hand to make the dedication speech is Fred Scott, alias Filibuster Freddy. Several hours later the passengers trudge out to the waiting ship. Press pho- tographer Ray Delong records for history the faces of the future colonists. First comes the trusty crew: pilot and co-pilot, Jerry Craybill and Dave Morgan, fLori Wilson, reporter for the New York Telephone and Moon extracted this quote from them, We regret we have only two lives to give for the Moon.,'Q, ship's cook, Bob Ledbetter whose specialty is lead batter pancakes fAssisting Bob in the kitchen is Linda Lindley, who can serve sirloin steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, salad, green beans, coffee and apple pie a la mode all in one small appetizing pill.J, shipls nurse, Sandy Mead, in whose handy-dandy medi- cine kit is everything from splints for broken limbs to pills for space sickness, communications oHicer, Phil I Hear You Knockingv MacAbee CLouie Boles couldn't be communications oHicer because he had a banana in his ear and couldn't hear a word anyone said.D, rocket stewardess, Judy Foster, who passes out interesting pamphlets on How to Go It on the Moon , Frank Wood and Terry Vaughn, just excess weight. Marilyn Wood- ward and Carol F idler help keep the ship in balance by leading the entire company in a rousing, Lean to the left! Lean to the right! Stand up! Sit down! Fight! Fight! Fightli' The remaining passengers were chosen from various professions to compose a well-rounded community. Car- penters, Roy Delong and Earl Chambers, are necessary to construct birdhouses for the parakeets Killy Hill brought along. Maryellen Fogarty plans to revolutionize the world with her new fashions by introducing the Lunar Looku, which emphasizes the great . . . er, crater shape. Martha Preble and Joan Black will model Mary- ellen's creations. Bob Kryter, commander of the expedition, is keeping the shipls log. Joel Barksdale is keeping his own per- sonal folder. Oh, Joel, actually on that one! After many years of research, Tom Riggle came to the conclusion that the dodo bird is not extinct, but has migrated to the Moon-and he's on his way to prove it. Dick Nance is preparing to open a new branch of his firm. He manufactures Cr:-xckles Potato Chips, guar- anteed to crack your teeth. Barbara Stalions is on her way to the Moon to find the answer to the age-old question-What is the trouble with Harry? Chester Poor plans to establish the first- the first what? Why, the first space library, of course! Kay Burcham and Shirley Howard are taking a second honeymoon with their husbands. Chemist Phil Houpt is going to the Moon to find the Fountain of Youth and is accompanied by his faithful assistant, Bill Healey, who cleans test-tubes for a hobby. Finally everything is in readiness. Tension fills the air as Betty Perkins breaks a bottle of good ole mountain dew over the ship, christening it the Comet-56.n Char- lotte Chase hollers, Anchors aweigh!,', and Anne Burton hoists the anchor. Then comes the job of starting the ship. For weeks Bob Higgins has been drilled to count 5 .... 4 .... 3 .... 2 .... 1 .... Fire!', at the proper mo- ment. Dave Webster has trained rigorously to punch the launching button at Bobis signal. This unlocks the push-pedals and activates the push-pedal team, Adolph Moser, Larry Smith, and Larry Shinkle. At the last moment, Lewis Meier III, the author of I Discovered a Loophole in the Theory of Relativity or Einstein Goofedn, arrives on the scene shouting, Wait for me! They don't. En route to its destination, the ship stops at a famous space drive-in, The Bowl. The passengers are greeted by Jan Craig, belle of the Bowl, who shows them to their seats and hands them a menu. Corkyls band, led by maestro joe Cork, is entertaining, blasting the sound barrier with its rendition of the 'fMeteor Mambov and the Satellite Stompf' The Lunar Crooners-Ronnie Hunt, Iim Bledsoe, and Ronnie Hamm-sing their version of Are the Stars Out Tonight?,' Art Camp leads the whole group in the Cosmos Congol' line. Sandy Manion digs that beat the most as she bops it out on the bongos. Ion Everhart and Terry Swisher add appropriate back- ground remarks in that unintelligible bop', talk. As the trip comes to a close, the passengers grow more eager to land at their new home. Getting OH the ship, they are greeted by the strains of Hail, Hail, the gangls all here!',-Hey, it's the LOONIE PLATOON! Led by Marilyn Winter waving the flag, flanked by Lois Kojola beating the drums, and Judy Myers puffing on the fife, the tiny band advances to the ship. At the crucial moment, Marilyn, doing the Crater Hopv, falls and breaks her leg at which time Deane Smith, the famous tree surgeon, comes forward to set that broken limb. In later years, when the settlers look back over their first puny attempts to conquer the vast reaches of the Moon, they have these Moments to Rememberv: when Chuck Stout was captain of the Tiddley Winks team Conce he really flipped and never came backl, when Barbara Marmaduke was completely weightless QD dur- ing the flight, Janis Hash and Carole Cravett's disap- pointment when they discovered that the Moon wasn't made of green cheese.

A mural of this type is painted on the Windows each year during Christmas season hy the high school art class. This yearys paint- ing was designed by Lois Kojola and was directed by Mrs. Car- lisle. The mural was very much ap- preciated by the residents of Speedway who passed the front of the school during the holidays and felt the Christmas glow that filled the school.

It's a permanent exhibit exemplifying ALLISON products against their background of advanced engineering and good manufacturing methods. Technical? Yes, to a degree, but presented in such an interesting manner that school children can understand and enjoy it. For instance . . . You'll see a model test stand where a miniature turbo-prop engine and Aeroproducts propeller are put through simulated tests. Or, you can push a lever and start a model jet plane on its flight and see how much fuel is required for take-off and flight. Or, you can sit in a bucket seat and actually put a big General Patton tank through its paces on a giant-sized turntable. There are lots of other moving and talking displays . . . displays like the working model of a portion of the Allison bearing plant-the world's only fully automatic steel-backed bronze bearing foundry. These few highlights give you an idea of the scope of the POWERAMA. Oilicers or program chairmen of clubs, organizations and societies, and adults in charge of children's groups may schedule visits to the POWERAMA.

Marilyn Winter was serv- ing as Drum Major while Anne Burton finished her last year as a high-stepping majorette. We chose American Beauty Red and White as class colors and the American Beauty Rose as our class flower. Marilyn Woodward carried away the triple honors of D.A.R. Good Citizen, Miss S.H.S., and Snowflake Queen. Bob Kryter was chosen class president, Deane Smith, veep, Marilyn Winter, secretary, and jim Bledsoe, treasurer, very able leaders indeed. Able and willing leaders have always guided our class and we feel that in our first steps into adulthood, the members of the class of '56 will progress and some day know much success. As we think about our years at Speedway, we figure our scores-Failures, very few, Gains, 1001, Happiness, 1001, Friendships, 1002- Which brings us a total of memories to have and hold that no one can deny, and a host of Mo- ments to Remember.
