More important than the establishment of these policies is the way in which they are car- ried out. This is the primary task of Sister Mary Carmen. O.S.B., our principal, who strives to create programs which will most likely produce a maximum contribution on the part of the stu- dent. The increasing complexities of student- teacher relationships, together with the growth of specialized knowledge and techniques, have led to the need for a qualified staff. Sister Mary Carmen is assisted by Miss Marilyn Kerstiens, school secretary, who keeps pace with the ever-increasing demands of an ad- ministration which strives to satisfy the needs of the students. Establishes Principles9 Policies9 Procedures As superintendent of St. Ferdi- nand High School, Father Bernard Ver- kamp has overall supervision of the en- tire school program including all mat- ters involving the conduct of the school and school affairs. He acts as supervisor of the moral aspects and has charge of disciplinary control. Father Firmus Dick (left) as pas- tor of St. Ferdinand Parish makes the ultimate dicision on all matters of a financial nature, among these being the determination of teachers' salaries, tuition fees, and the annual budget. In addition to making the above decisions, he must see to the adminis- tration of the physical school plant and the supervision of the school grounds. 5 Religion Resembles Northern Star Surrounded by immediately available references, Father Bernard Verkamp and Father Raymond Kuper, religion teachers and guidance counselors, search for material used to explain Biblical passages. Jane Reckelhoff ponders over a seemingly profound statement contained in one of the many booklets available in the homerooms during retreat. Entering the gym, which is now converted into a place of prayer, Kenny Hedinger places a host into the ciborium. Waiting in line are Don Woebkenberg and Don Meyer. 8 As a special feature of the annual retreat, Bishop Paul Leibold, assisted by Father Bernard Verkamp, Father Firmus Dick, Ed Be- cher, and Ken Kraus, offers the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with the seniors and juniors. Eager to begin the student retreat are Father Alfred Bal- tz, Patrick Foster, Charles Pfeiffer, and Kenneth Knapp. As Ed Becher holds the paten, Bishop Paul Leibold adminis- ters Holy Communion to Carla Meyer. Supplementing the study of Shakespeare with recordings and running scripts, English teachers, Sister Mary Dominic and Sister Mary Gervase, add a modern touch to cherished classics. Freshmen, Gary Oser, Marlene Daunhauer, Chester Schuler, Bobbi Erhart, Joseph Tretter, Steve Otinger, and Debbie Brahm, stage A. A. Milne's modern ver- sion of The Ugly Duckling during English class. Paul Greenwell and Steve Weyer become acquainted with the various classifications of books according to the Dewey Decimal System. Judy Steltenpohl uses the card catalogue. 10 Modern English Is Basis For Acquired Learning Modern English is composed of words from many sources. No other language has adopted words so read- ily. Ancient civilizations, science, industry, and oth- er languages have augmented the English language. The excellent blending of languages assures richness, vari- ety, ornament, and power to the English language. Since words are the proofs of ideas, it is important that one develops a large vocabulary. Having acquired an extensive vocabulary would be futile if you did not know how to formulate these words into clear, concise sentences. in order to have a firm basis for one’s knowledge and use of the English language, it is advantageous to study the prose, poetry, classics, and short stories which have made English Literature second to none. A study of World Literature insures a broader spectrum in judging the qualifications of various publications. Juniors intently read modern American prose. Projected in the foreground are Urban Kiem and Dan Bettag. George Potter, Gene Vaal, Wayne Schaefer, and Clarence Durcholz lead their English Literature class in singing treasured ballads of the Middle Ages. 1 1 Mr. Bill Klem explains to Debbie Brahm and Chester Schuler the procedure he used in solving the problem illustrated. 12 Developing proficiency with the protractor and compass is the aim of Beverly Weyer, Connie Hedinger, and Martha Gaesser. Math instructors, Mr. Bill Klem and Mr. Larry Klein, meet occasionally in the library to check resources available for student reports. Mathematics Epitomizes Wisdom Mathematics is the study of quantities and rela- tions through the use of numbers and symbols. One of the most fascinating and useful divisions of human knowledge is mathematics. It affects many important areas of study and has the hidden power of solving unknown enigmas. Rising from an urgent need for man to solve prac- tical problems, mathematics has proved to be the gate and key of the sciences. Illustrating the method he used in solving his analytic geometry problem, Jim Woebkenbergassumes the teach- er's role 13 Social Studies Build Foundation Of Future Margie Fieig, Ken Kraus, and Gerald Fischer discuss their recently returned government test. By identifying and locating the countries which they are studying, world history students, Joan Krampe and Mary Lee Hedinger, are better able to understand the devel- opment of the physical boundaries of the countries. Especially appropriate at a time when our country is precariously perched on the brink of war, social stud- ies prepare the students to face the future with hope and confidence. In order to acquaint each student with our country's past and impending future, an extensive social studies program, including U.S. history, world history, world geography, and government, is in effect. The principles taught in these courses will facilitate the student in solving his own problems and accepting the duties of an American citizen. The Debate Club renders itself useful by instilling knowledge of current affairs through research, discus- sion, and active debate. 14 To familiarize her class with outstanding characters in U.S. history, Marilyn Snyder gives a report on LOVE IS ETERNAL by Irving Stone. Social studies teachers, Mr. Max Meuserand Mr. George Schenetzke, discuss the similarities and differences of their approaches to world problems. Under the able direction of Mr. Max Meuser, the Debate Club is a vital source of know- ledge for interested students. 15 Engaging In BusinesL Danny Bettag finds timed writings an important part of the typing course. Since the beginning of American History, business has steadily gained importance. The outstanding quality of business is that it affords an opportunity for advance- ment according to individual merit. For success in business, one must possess the nec- essary skills, knowledge, and attitude so vital in a de- manding position. This profession requires potential leaders, people rich with ambition, initiative, and pride in their work. Above all, business requires a full exertion ol one's faculties and responsibility under all circumstances. Every activity of business is involved with people, from the investor to the consumer. Business can truly be called the occupation of the people. With the aid of dictation discs, Diane Weyer, Judy Boeckman, Diane Oeding, and Mary Bolte increase their speed. sOffeis Opportunity For Advancement, Merit Posting journal entries presents quite a challenge to a bookkeeping student, Norma Schipp. 17 Sciences Represent Total Knowledge Educational courses stress the theme of learning those things most worth knowing, to the end of doing those things that make life most worth-living. The word science itself means knowledge; the sciences represent the total of human knowledge in their respective fields. In return for such knowledge, science should impart direction and theory to technology. Because modern man stands on the threshold of a changing world, society has an obligation to provide both the means of scientific instruction and the means for channeling this knowledge to useful ends. The fruits of the science supply a reservoir which is potentially beneficial to man, capable of multiplying man's energy and understanding. Mark Schwinghamer, Vernita Schipp, Gary Leinenbach, Norma Meyer, Marvin Weyer, Rebecca Mehling, David Zink, Virginia Rahman, Gary Wendholt, and Carol Jean Steckler, sophomore biology students, study the rate of heartbeat in a very small animal, a Daphnia. m mm -win mm Mm ? After examining Sister Mary Eric's banana plant, Mr. Ben Finley, Sister Mary Eric, and Sister Mary Francesca, science instructors, could all pertinently reply, Yes, we have no bananas. 18 Bill Egloff, Tom Pund, Pat Spayd, Jerome Durcholz, Gary Oeding, Maurice Woeb- kenberg, Theodore Meyer, John Oser, Kenny Schipp, Larry Leinenbach, and Steve Weyer, general science students, distill copper sulfate solution to produce pure water. During physics lab, Peggy Kleeman, George Potter, Don Denu, and Becky Vaal calculate the mechanical ad- vantage and efficiency of an inclined plane. Junior chemistry students, Greg Gehlhausen, Cathy Dilger, Barbara Hedinger, and John Englert, ap- proximate the molar volume of a gas. Et tu, Frite Francis Gudorf, says Caesar Ed Becher durings a Latin III skit. Girl con- spirators are Rosalie Hagedom, Carole Meyer, Eileen Laake, and Pat Erhart. Margie Fleig, Maureen Klueh, Rita Hulsman, Sister Mary Carl, Nancy Olinger, Carolyn Hedinger, Kathy Berg, and Sister Mary Ger- trude, guest, are enjoying their Spanish meal of enchiladas, frijoles (beans), arroz (rice), en- salada (salad), helado (ice creamy fritas bananas (fried bananas), and leche (milk). This was a highlight of the Spanish II course. 20 ■Srt .S iV Sister Mary Damian, German teacher, converses with Sis- ter Mary Carl, Spanish in- structor, while scanning magazines dealing with the cultures of the respective countries. Language Study Includes Cultures, Customs Margaret Pund, Margaret Rose Fritz, Daniel Hoppenjans, Dennis Weyer, and Robert Demuth, German I students, are carrying out old European Advent traditions in preparation for Christmas. All are singing Christmas songs as Richard Muller accompanies them on the guitar. 21 Carole Oeding, Janice Luebbehusen, and Sister Mary Josepha prepare food for canning. 22 Living Begins At Home Happy and successful living begins at home, and teenagers should learn how to manage this department of their lives. No matter if they go into business, be- come scientists, or follow some other pursuit, home life will always be of the utmost importance to their welfare and happiness. Homemaking is a way of life and, whether it be good or bad, has a vital influence on the working area of one's life. Homemaking helps teenagers to acquire the basic knowledge and skills that will enrich their lives. It of- fers guides toward a basic foundation for malting wise decisions and develops attitudes, values, and goals. Senior homemaking students, Patty Demuth, Jane Schum, and Margie Hagedorn, work on the St. Ferdinand High School Victory Flag. Sister Mary Josepha, homemaking in- structor, adds finishing touches to her bulletin board. Sister also teaches health to the freshmen. 23 Industrial Arts Course Adds With the help of Mr. Jerome Uebelhor, industrial arts instructor, Norbert Schreiner attempts to move an eight cylinder motor. Ralph Hoppenjans sands his gun rack while Allen Steckler completes sanding his knife hold- er. Don Woebkenberg (in the background) assembles a book case. New Incentive To Career-Minded Students Senior James Johanneman works on an orthographic pro- jection during mechanical drawing class. It has been said that a practical skill taught in any educational institution is of more immediate and permament worth than a fundamental course of high consequence. The newest addition to SFHS, the Industrial Arts Building, is adequately equipped for three major indus- trial arts courses; namely, woodworking, drafting, and power mechanics. Woodworking occupies the largest area in the building. In this course students are taught how to deal with tools skillfully and to operate them safely. These skills are acquired by practical application in building projects of the students' own choice. Power mechanics students learn the functions of the combustion gasoline engine by tearing down, over- hauling, reassembling, and tuning the engines to get them in working order. The drafting course teaches the basic skills of drawing, reading, and understanding sketches. This course is beneficial in a special way to future engineers However, it is so adapted that it is applicable to the practical problems of everyday living. Tom Verkamp, Ron Mohr, and Frank Drach work on a motor in a 1956 Dod- ge truck. Steve Hauser and Steve Olinger, woodworking students, practice using jack plane and other hand tools. Physical Education Although officially one of the newest additions in the modem general education program, physical educa- tion is, by no means, an innovation in developing phys- ical fitness. Physical education includes physical activities and sports designed to improve posture, physical devel- opment and fitness, and health. The physical education program centers around organized games and embraces calisthenics, gymnas- tics, and various qualifying tests. Since physical education is not considered an academic course, fun and recreation are stressed and good sportsmanship is emphasized. Mrs. Ben Finley, girls' physical education teacher, pauses for a moment. Forming a mutant pyramid, the sophomore girls display their physical agility. Mr. Larry Klein and Mr. Ben Finley, physical education teachers, also hold the fort of the athletic department. Stresses Recreation One of the many exercises used to acquire physical fitness is the hip roll exercitation. Leon Mehling and Maurice Woebken- berg prepare for a piggyback race. Daniel Schipp, John Lubbehusen, and Ed Gudorf do push-ups in a different manner. 27 ■■pi I I v. The seniors sponsor a bake sale during Catholic Youth Week as a fund-raising project for the missions. Council Moves Ahead The Student Council is a means of teaching the functions and structure of democratic government while promoting student-teacher co-operation and encourag- ing the participation of students in beneficial projects. The Council represents its constituents in a con- stant effort to promote and improve school relations. Although it provides an opportunity for leadership, it also stresses good fellowship. Following this policy, it tries to involve as many students as possible in its varied activities. National Catholic Youth Week, which included a torchlight parade and hootenanny and Mr. Wendholt Day, which was preceded by the presentation of a gold watch to the custodian, Mr. Linus Wendholt, are only a few of the Council sponsored projects. Activating its role as student government, the Council, assisted by its adviser, Sister Mary Aquin, works assiduously to amend its policies, standards, and activities for the betterment of the school and its many members. The Student Council leads the Catholic Youth Week Parade. Treasurer Kevin Werne, Vice-president Kenny Kraus, President Nick Dilger, and Secretary Jeanne Daunhauer pose with the Victory Flag. Mr. Linus Wendholt, custodian, receives applause after accepting a gold watch from Pres- ident Nick Dilger on behalf of the student body. ,ffiOinpna SCHOOL At the official opening of the periodical room at the Ferdinand Branch Library, Margie Verkamp, Matha Kemper, Judy Steltenpohl, Marilyn Kluemper, Phyllis Jasper, Kathy Berg, and Mary Lou Meyer, hostesses for the occasion, examine Indiana history materials on display. After adding the finishing touches to their Catholic Youth Week parade entry, members of the club wait for the starting signal. President Carole Meyer, Vice-president Ed Becher, Secretary Luella Wilmes, and Treasurer Rosalie Hage dom enjoy club scrapbook. Library Club Is Prominent On School Scene St. Ferdinand High School Library Club partici- pates in a number of activities at the national, state, regional, and local levels. As members of the National Catholic Student Library Assistants Association, students share in the accomplishments of the Catholic student assistants throughout the nation. In Hoosier State Li- brary Assistants Association, they take part in an annual conference held on a state university campus. At Ball State last fall, Debbie Lueken was elected HSLA treas- urer. She is also serving as Vice-president of the re- gional library group known as Dixie Bibliophiles of which Ruth Dilger is serving as treasurer. Among its contributions at the local level are its services rendered at the Ferdinand Branch Library. In addition to its regular after-school clerical assistance, the club has served in the capacity of hosting for of - ficial celebrations at that library. Its services in the school library center mainly in clerical assistance to Sister Mary Boniface, the libra- rian, during and after school hours. Wayne Schaefer, Frank Drach, H. Don Barth, and Ed Becher add a masculine touch to the Library Club activities. 33 Sister Mary Boniface demonstrates one of the techniques involved in the processing of library materials. National Honor Society Initiates Honored Throughout history, man has recognized and marked for special honor those who excel. In election to the National Honor Society, the secondary school faculty honors the attainments already made and recognizes the promise they contain of con- tinued excellence in the cherished ideals of a school. The Society represents the fundamental objectives for which schools are instituted and gives recognition to those who have attained most nearly the desired ends.

Students Stage 6And Then There Were None9 A big bear hugged one and then there were two. And Then There Were None is the original title of Agatha Christie s novel which was later made into a play and motion pic- ture known as Ten Little Indians. Eight assorted houseguests and two servants are invited to a country house on Indian Island off the coast of Devon, England. The guests have never met one another before nor have they met their host. When the guests are assembled, a strange voice heard over a concealed record player accuses each of murder. Following this announcement, one of the ten Indian statuettes topples from the mantelpiece and breaks--immediately one of the guest chokes to death; his death corresponds with the fate of the-first little Indian. One by one the guests are murdered by the executioner. Each murder coincides with the fatal nursery rhyme, Ten Little Indians, which hangs above the statuettes. Each death is also ac- companied by the disappearance of one figurine. As tension mounts, the guests realize the killer is in their midst. Each suspects one of the others. Finally there are only two guests, one of which is the supposed murderer--a truly frightening situation. However, the reappearance of one of the dead actors changes the situation somewhat, and the murderer is soon defeated. Don Denu, Jane Reckelhoff, Jane Schnieders, Jim Dilger, George Potter, Clarence Dur- cholz, Ken Kraus, Eddie Becher, Gene Harpenau, and Maxine Weme discuss the mysteri- ous voice (Leon Boeglin) accusing them of individual crimes. Elaine Kemper, senior soloist, sings Arab Dance, a selection from Sir Nutcracker Cantata. Band, Choir Spread Carrying on the tradition of a Christmas concert, the music department presented a yuletide program, The Nutcracker Cantata, adapted from The Story of Nutcracker by T. S. Tillotson and combined with the immortal music of Tchaikovsky. After opening with Christmas Greetings, the band played various selections from The Nutcracker Suite. The vocal numbers by the soloists and Concert Choir also featured selections from the Nutcracker Suite. In order to better acquaint the audience with Tchaikovsky's famous ballet, filmstrips were shown as the narrator interpreted the story. Included as a novelty to the Christmas Musical, a select group of girls played sacred songs on Dutch Hand Bells. The program, directed by Sister Mary Inez, was climaxed by the rendition of Silver Bells by band and Concert Choir. 42 SFHS Band leads off the Cantata with Christmas Greetings. Yuletide Cheer In ‘Sir Nutcracker Cantata? The Concert Choir, directed by Sister Mary Inez, sings Sir Nutcracker.

The spring Symphontata is a musical composition in five movements, each contrasting in rhythm and mood but related in tonality and having unity in senti- ment and style. The first movement, Allegro Moderato or moder- ately lively, sets the mood of the musical. The second movement is composed of sacred and folk music. Scherzo, Italian for •■playfully, climaxes in the favor- ite Five Hundred Miles. The fourth movement, Lyr- ic Show Tunes, includes selections from Funny Girl, South Pacific, and Sound of Music. Ode to De- mocracy completes the final movement of the musical. Sister Mary Inez, directress of the Symphontata, stands alert awaiting the next selection. Emcee, Edwin Becher II, looks on as the Concert Choir sings Climb Every Mountain. ” Spring “Symphontata” Contains Five Movements Gene Harpenau, Don Denu, Marilyn Snyder, and George Potter accompany the Concert Choir for the selection Five Hundred Miles.

Richard Muller President Bobbi Erhart Secretary 1 Steven Hauser Vice -president Leon Mehling Treasurer Arriving at the high school entrance, the freshman is eager to leam, ready to conquer, and very frightened. He has come to another crossroad in his life, a path never taken be- fore. He gave up his superiority in an elementary school to face a world where his status is considered rather menial. He tests his newly acquired skills in a world where his achieve- ments and mannerisms will be constantly scrutinized and challenged. Perhaps this is a freshman’s greatest task--to over- come the feeling of inferiority. A freshman’s life is completely changed. His values, ideas, dress, and morals also change. In a sense, he becomes a different human being, an older person with many responsi- bilities. Gradually, the freshman becomes an integral part of the school, as indispensable as the senior with the freshness that only the young can offer.

Edward Wilmes Mary Woebkenberg Maurice Woebkenberg Rebecca Zink 81 Challenged Sophomores Search For Knowledge Active is one word which aptly describes the sophomore class. Taking an assiduous part in many school activities, the sophomores participate with varying objectives. They predomi- nate in programs which are directed to the more dynamic and tenacious students. No longer curious of school life, they feel that they are a vital part of it. The sophomores are continually striving to ac- quire more knowledge and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Living in an atmosphere of learning, they are constantly searching for the answers to many questions. As eventually they find the solutions to these many questions, they discover that they are better adapted to the existing conditions of school and community life. Accordingly, they find they are given more freedom along with the responsibilities this freedom entails.

A junior is a vision of youth reaching its climax. He is a growing child discarding his traits of adolescence, a budding adult, a hope of tomorrow. The junior rung is a mile higher than that of the sophomore and in touching distance of the goal at the top of the ladder as the masterful senior. Rising to the position of upperclassmen, the junior class began a fresh stage in a series. As seen by the rest of the student body, the juniors, little by little, made their class a successful one. It required seriousness of purpose, long hours of hard work, and unending per- severance. Encountering many changes, they undertook many new and exciting ventures through the course of the year. They no longer shunned responsibilities but faced them. The impetus of the junior is the realization of the shortness of time and the proximity of graduation.

Eyes Of Farsighted Seniors Focus On Future We, the seniors, have been held together by a burning desire to learn, understand, and love. We have laid our foundations by tempering our souls with the basic qualities of sincerity, courage, and unselfishness from which our other virtues will spring. Having ac- quired the hope that burns in the heart of every dreamer, we must aim high remembering that our destiny will be heaven. As freshmen we had before us many challenges. We had to rise beyond our then present horizon to meet the demands placed upon us. As sophomores and as juniors, we participated more actively in the various school organizations. We extended our participation with new and exciting ven- tures inside and outside of school, while attempting to broaden our scope of interests. During these years we have made many important decisions. It was during this time that we became aware of and concerned with our future professions. We will soon be taking our places in society as intelligent citizens and leaders. Graduation is a time to remember that the educa- tion we received at St. Ferdinand High aimed not so much to provide the tools for living, as to forge the soul for life itself. 96 MAXINE WERNE Secretary GEORGE POTTER Treasurer LEROY BERGER HAROLD DONALD BARTH EDWIN BECHER VICTORIA BOLTE ANDREW BRINKMAN ARTHUR BROCKMAN Senior girls display class rings, a symbol of fidelity to the school.
