St Ferdinand High School - Crusader Yearbook (Ferdinand, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1961 volume:

The ’61 Crusader Presented by The Senior Class ST. FERDINAND HIGH SCHOOL FERDINAND, INDIANA Volume 8 This being the Silver Jubilee Year of Father David's ordination to the holy priesthood, it is fitting that we open our yearbook with Father at the Altar of Sacri- fice, the center of his daily life. Ad Multos Annos. Pope John XXIII Even now, as Vicar of Christ, you love to mingle with the poor and hungry children of your giant congregation. Perhaps these children remind you of your own childhood when you, too, were poor and hungry. From these humble beginnings you have risen to the position of Christ’s official repre- sentative on earth, the highest position a mortal could hope to attain. You could not have risen to such heights were it not for your humble leadership and simple faith in Christ, qualities which we, too, need for a successful journey through life. Leadership 2 Leaders Of Tomorrow As we come to a great crossroad in our lives, the lives of great men such as those of Pope John and President Kennedy serve as an inspiration to us in choosing the right road in order to attain that eternal reward for which all of us exist. Perhaps someday we, too, will be look- ed up to as leaders in our respective fields and will lead the way for others when they reach their first great crossroad. President Kennedy As President of the United States and leader of the free world, we, who are now just learning to make our way in the world, look to your life as a model to fashion our own lives by. Your unselfish leadership has been an inspiration to us in our struggle to choose between the good and the evil forces in the world today. We consider ourselves indeed fortunate to have at the helm of our ship a skipper so dedicated and able to guide us through these troubled waters. 3 Dedication We, the St. Ferdinand High School graduates of 1961, are deeply indebted to many individuals for the training we received during our high school days. We know that it would be impossible to repay in full everyone who aided us along that rocky road, for we consider our education invaluable. One individual stands out in our minds as we look back on our high school career. As a teacher, and also as director of our class play and advisor of our school paper, Sister Mary Dominic demanded per- fection and accepted nothing less. Because you have dedicated yourself so wholeheartedly to our advancement, we wish to show our appreciation by dedicating the ‘61 CRUSADER to you, Sister Mary Dominic. Our Faculty REV.

Senior Homeroom Bookkeeping Shorthand Typing We offer you, our readers, an entirely different yearbook this year. We say different because, first of all, duo-tone is making its debut in this volume— on the liner, on this page and on the Spring Musical spread. Also, you will note that our layout has taken on a completely new look. The student class pictures will no longer be found in the first division of the book, as has been traditional, but take their place in the last division. We do hope that you will get as much enjoyment from viewing the ‘61 CRUSADER as we have experienced in producing it. ACTIVITIES •‘Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. ’ That is the idea conveyed in this section of our yearbook, which pictures in part the diverse activities in which St. Ferdinand High School stu- dents participated and which in turn contributed to their emotional maturity. Leadership has been gained in part by actively sharing in the responsibilities which these activ- ities entailed. Carol Honored As Queen Carol Hagedorn, her dark hair and eyes shining, reigned as Christmas Queen for St. Ferdinand High School at the annual parade held at Huntingburg on November 26. During her one-day reign Carol dined at the Country Club and received many useful gifts from the Huntingburg merchants. In the afternoon parade she hailed many sidewalk admirers from a convertible designated for Ferdinand. Bands from the local area added sprightly color to the day’s festivities. Mystery In The Library In the gripping play, “Mystery in the Library,” the staff of poor old Clark College’s paper find themselves involved in mystery and murder in the school library. The plot is -slowly unwound until the college president, Mr. Hartman, Inspector Burke, and his hungry, empty-headed assistant, Swenson, find that the murderer is a former president of Clark College. The brilliant Herman Heinrich, developer of an invisible dye and the “brains” behind a gigantic operation to undermine the U. S. Government, is finally shot in the closing lines of the play. Cast Double casting--the playing of the char- acters by two students--was featured for the first time this year and proved highly success- ful. Only the girls' roles were double cast.

A special Christmas assembly was given for the student body by the class officers during the Christmas season. Scenes from this assembly are shown at the left. The Juniors find it rough sledding, Assemblies One and a two and a three. The Freshies offer the first canned opera at S. F. H. S, Agnes Tretter Reigns As Basketball Queen i Against a royal background of red, gold, and white, Agnes Tretter was crowned Basketball Queen on February 10, 1961, by Captain Tom Vaal. The queen and her attendants were escorted to the throne between the preliminary and varsity games with Washington Catholic. QUEEN'S ATTENDANTS--Sue Backer, Irma Jean Stallman, Joyce Schuch, Mary Ann Hagedorn, Queen Agnes, Hildegard Loescher, Nancy Gerber, Elaine Weme, Sylvia Fleig; lower center, Norma Jean Vaal. Patty Lueken received ] division rating for both piano and cornet so Wedding Day at Trc haugen, and Valse-M lee.

Students Enjoy Day Of Recollection Norma Jean Vaal be- ing anointed by Father Aurelius, O.S.B. Reading and relaxation in the lounge of St. Jude’s Retreat House. St. Jude’s Retreat House, the latest addition to St. Meinrad Arch-Abbey, was the place selected for the Junior and Senior students’ day of recollection on May 4 and 5. It proved a welcome change from the classrooms back at school for both boys and girls. Father Raben, with the assistance of Father Aurelius, offered a most praiseworthy, truly in- spiration and well-received program. Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation took on a new meaning for the students in their preparation for adulthood. The Freshmen and Sophomores remained at the high school where Father Fidelis was the acting retreat master. Upper classmen can look forward to spending their day of recollection in the future at St. Jude’s Retreat House at St. Meinrad. Junior and Senior girls leave the chapel after the final lecture to take the bus back to Ferdinand. Father Fidelis, O.S.B., lectures to the Freshmen and Sophomores. Father Raben, O.S.B., reviews the tremendous graces of Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. 19 We could have danced all night. Hold on, Elaine. Boys, are you sure you can skate? Let’s do the twist, Class Parties Class get-to-gethers add many hours of enjoyment to school life as these pictures indicate so well. Skating, bowling, scavenger hunts, and dancing were the major forms of entertainment engaged in by the student body at the different parties. FIRST ROW: E. Werne, R. L. Bettag, M. J. Knust, E.

The hours spent on the yearbook had its serious moments, but lots of laughs were furnished by various circumstances during the meetings. We would like to thank Sister Mary Carmen for the many hours she sacrificed for our year- book. The girls and boys' Glee Clubs joined the band in the grand finale, All Glory, Laud and Honor. Choral directresses--Sister Benedict Joseph and Sister Mary Inez. Lee Leinenbach as Christ and Glenda Schreiner as Mary Magadalen depict the Resurrection scene in the song, Resurrexit.

St. Ferdinand musicians gave a lovely concert on April 16--acquainting their audience with types of music dating from Ancient Greece, down through the centuries to our own 20th century with its swing and jazz. Music lovers left the concert better informed and with a deeper appreciation of music and its cul- tural impact upon nations and the world. The Choral Readers for the Spring Musical were Robert Hedinger, Dennis Laake, Ralph Laake, and Bob Boeh- man. Song of Hope, a Hebrew Traditional, was rendered by male voices, cornets, and cym- bals.

Another first in our school year was the forming of a Student Council. Much planning, discussion, and hours of hard work were necessary to get started. Agnes Tretter and Norma Jean Vaal did much to get the organization under way. These students worked with Sr. Mary Victor and representatives of each class to write a Constitution which was officially presented to the student body. The first election was held on March 21, 1961. One of the activities sponsored by the group was a program for noon dancing held on Friday of each week in the gym. 26 The student body goes to the polls for the first time in the history of the school. Seniors ••Rain? ? ? So what! thought the Seniors as they were on the verge of floating to Shakamak State Park on that memorable May 8. This fun-loving group didn’t permit the rain to dampen their spirits though it succeeded in dampening their clothes to a considerable degree. As the beach and the boats at the park were flooded, card playing came to be the main attraction at the west shelterhouse. E ven the faculty chaperones indulged in this enter- tainment. Brave souls ventured outside the shelter between the showers—but they got the ••wetter” end. All in all everyone testifies to a ‘‘dripping” good time and an unforgettable day. Lost among the girls Two card sharks at work Wishing You Well As a theme for the annual Junior-Senior-Faculty ;:J Banquet the Juniors chose “Wishing You Well.” The cafeteria was banked with dogwood and beautiful ;flowers of the spring as the Seniors excitedly made ,Y; their appearance on the evening of May 10. A beautiful ■ wishing well fashioned by the dextrous hands of the ..-‘-i Junior boys was the center of attraction. Joan Oeding and George Boeglin V� were taken by surprise as the secret ballot o f the Juniors elected them king and queen. “Let me have your autograph,” was the familiar phrase heard as memory books were passed from student to student and teacher to wSs teacher. §f® mhk - : fcKi ' - • • • ■ • £ c-'-m ;• . - £ k v-V f S 1 ■MUM% m0 S mamx Jim Bolte and his Combo entertained at the banquet.

Bid Farewell The Daughters of Isabella were hosts to the Seniors at the traditional breakfast served in the high school cafeteria immed- iately after the 8:30 Communion Mass at the parish church. Fifty-nine Crusaders took their place in the ranks of adults the world over as they received their coveted diplomas from Bishop Grimmelsman, of Evansville, the night of May 21. Joyful, but tear- stained at the thought of leaving cherished friends, the graduates took leave of St. Ferdinand High as the band played the recessional, “Homage to Youth.” Fifty-Nine Graduates Mary Ann Hagedorn receives her diploma from the Bishop. Student speaker George Boeglin delivered an excellent address on the responsibilities and hopes placed in the Catholic high school graduate in the modern world. The Rev. James Deneen Diocesan Superintendent of Schools Commencement Speaker TO A GRADUATE ' Fortune now bless you.

The knowledge and experience gained in the classroom will aid in the attainment of the highest rung on that ladder; namely, personal sanctity and capable leadership. The classrooms where this building project was undertaken are the object of the following pages. Hildegard in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Henry Backer. The class ring, a gift of the Student Council, was gratefully received by the German Miss. Our First Exchange Student Hildegard Loescher, St. Ferdinand High School’s first foreign exchange student, captured the hearts of her fellow schoolmates and teachers in her year’s stay in America. The cheerful German teenager was active in school activities and added a European touch to many of them. Hildegard arrived in America in July, 1960, and resided with her host family, Dr. and Mrs. Henry Backer until June 29, 1961. Hildegard often complimented the American people on their friendliness and interest in her country. We would like to praise her for leaving her homeland and journeying to America. This took courage and a noble desire to strengthen the good will between the two countries. Before leaving for Germany, Hildegard, with other exchange students, will tour Washington, D. C., and New York. She will then resume her schooling which includes two more years of high school and then college. She plans to become a lawyer. Hildegard’s present address is Furstenbergplatz 9, Opladen, West Germany. The students of St. Ferdinand High School will always remember you, Hildegard. Your vivacious spirit, your charming accent, and your cheerful personality have endeared you to all of us. Auf Wiedersehen! 33 The Marion Junior Homemakers Club has been organized with the purpose of developing in its members worthy ideals in a happy sharing of home life and cultivating a personal awareness of the need in today’s world for Christian homemakers. One of the qualifications for membership is that the member have completed two years of homemaking courses or be enrolled in such a second course. Clothing courses, under the direction of Sister Damian, lead each girl to a study of her own personality, to plan her wardrobe to express her own personality, and to dress appropriately on all occasions. Emphasis is placed on grace, poise, wise shopping, careful budgeting and managerial ability. Brenda Hagedorn, at the left, models her Easter ensemble which she made in clothing class. Officers of the Club, pictured above, are Eileen Reckelhoff, treasurer; Ruth Niehaus, vice-president; Barbara Ficker, president; Phyllis Uebelhor, secretary. Homemaking In nutrition and food preparation courses a wide range of needs are con- sidered. The courses are practical, well- integrated and family centered. The prin- ciples learned may constantly be put into practice. Nutrition, cookery principles, factors of appropriateness, cost, and time are included. All homemaking courses offered at St. Ferdinand High are concerned with daily living, which is centered in the homes of the girls. Experience necessary for home membership are emphasized. In this way the homemaking program makes its proper contribution to the girl’s total development. German A special program presented by the German Class in honor of Hildegard, the German exchange student, included a little German skit entitled “Der Bauer and der Teufel.” Pictured above are Mary Jo Knust portraying der Teufel and Janice Egler, der Bauer. At the left is Sue Backer, the interpreter. After the skit was presented, the entire student body and faculty participated in German folk singing. 35 George Boeglin views the placque he received for winning the Knights of Columbus Oratorial Contest at Jasper. The title of George’s speech was “Free- dom of Religion-One of the Four Great Freedoms.” Mary Ellen Keller and Dennis Schaefer, as a result of the high scores attained in the English and math contest at Jasper on March 20, entered the state- wide contest at Bloomington on April 28. Mary Ellen received honorable men- tion there. 36 One of the projects of the Junior English Class was the study of Abraham Lincoln's life in pictures. Sophomores are at attention in Miss Miller's English class as they become familiar with English literature. Father Fidelis, teacher of Latin I and II, is pictured at the right with his first-year class. Patty Maffenbeier, member of the first - year class, scored 99 out of a possible 100 on the Annual Nation- wide Latin Vocabulary Test. At the left Sister Mary Boniface pictured with her SRA reading class. Sister initiated the SRA program in order to help the students place themselves on the proper reading level. The SRA suggests books for each level and helps the students improve their reading. New worlds of knowledge were opened to the students of St. Ferdinand High School and the public as a result of the first Book Fair held in St. Ferdinand High's library during the week of May 8. Pictured above are students from the high school and the nearby St. Benedict's college browsing through one of the many displays. An estimated amount of 700 books was available for sale. Latin Religion Gene Vaal demonstrates the actions of the priest at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in a straw Mass con- ducted in Sister Mary Victor’s Sophomore religion class. The Senior gills learn about the travels of Our Lord through Jerusalem in Father David's religion class. Father Simon teaches the Senior boys American Gov- ernment. Sister Benedict Joseph's students watch their fellow classmates solve difficult algebra problems. Science Biologists find dissecting an interest- ing and fascinating part of their bio logy course. Mr. Tieken lectures to his U. S History class. 39 Business The business world annually attracts many. Our commercial department attempts to prepare the students interested in busi- ness careers by offering all the essential courses, as well as acquainting them with various office machines.

Parents Attend Classes High school Freshmen are not the only ones to get lost in a new environment. This fact was quickly discovered on that memorable night back in November asMom and Pop tried to make it from class to class in three minutes. Ah, you guessed it! How wonderful to relax! Scholars must have their lunch - how else could the mind work? Honor THEY WERE TARDY! !! Nevertheless, the evening proved to be a pleasant one as the faculty acquainted the parents with their sons'and daughters’ class schedules. Students Gracious! What do I take hold of next? Senior students given special recognition at the honor assembly held in the gymnasium on May 18 were as follows: First Row: Mary Jo Knust, 1,5,9, 10; Agnes Tretter 3; Elsie Uebelhor 9,10; Mary Ann Durcholz 2.

And true blue Crusaders they have been. In vic- tory or defeat, our boys have at all times displayed excellent character training. Not always leading but always leaders, they have aimed high in the various sports offered by our school. This section of our yearbook pictures the many participants in these sports and the records they have attained. Crusader Captain Receives Coveted Trophies Tom Vaal, 5 10” Crusader guard, was the re- cipient of the coveted Sportsmanship Trophy awarded by the Ferdinand Chamber of Commerce at the annual sportsmanship banquet honoring the Crusaders at the Mullis Tourist Home Thursday, March 9. This trophy is presented each year to the player demonstrating the greatest sportsmanship both on and off the floor; also for contributing the most assistance to his team. Tom (photo) received the trophy from Mr. Edwin Ebert, president of the Ferdinand Chamber of Commerce. A Free-Throw Trophy was also pre- sented to the player displaying the most accurate marksmanship from the charity line for the regular season. This was presented to Tom Vaal by our first- year head coach, Jim Wahl. Tom’s winning free-throw percentage was 74.1°?°.

Freshmen Unlike the varsity and the second teams, our Frosh had a tremendously victorious season. Some victories came with little effort; others, only after a hard-fought battle. These little Crusaders suffered only three defeats, the first of which was handed to them by the Jasper “B” team during the regular season. They bowed to Dubois and Tell City at tourney time with a 29-31 and40-47score respective- ly. May the next three years prove equally successful.

Their gay and lively expressions radiate sincerity, and enthusiasm. Although these young men and women are preparing for new and dif- ferent careers, they have one thing in common. They have been given a thorough Catholic training to aid them in their responsible roles of tomorrow. Seniors Valuable papers written only to be torn up and thrown in the wastebas- ket by mistake.
