St John Township High School - Echo Yearbook (Dyer, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1946 volume:

Nineteen hundred jjOSity - iix, ZcU FORWARD: The students and faculty of the St. John Township School have always worked as a single unit. Not only have they practiced cooperation in school studies and in extracurricular activities but also in the bettering of their school community and home. It is extremely hard to try to express how much this understanding between faculty and students can mean—yet we have made it our purpose to show the readers of the “1946 Echo” our deep appreciation to those who have taught us the value of cooperation and unity. u .y j -i Page Two PRESENTED TO YOU BY 1luz SesUosi GIqAA, 194-6 ST.

We have had four years of experiences which will help us through the future years of our lives—of course all these years weren’t spent in studies. We can remember— Our Freshman year found us unwilling subjects for the Senior’s initiating tortures and to this day we still remember our “Freshmen Prayer.” Mr. Hunt looked at us with sad eyes and decided to have Mr. Smallwood, who was also new at Dyer, guide us through our “school daze.” Even though we didn’t know most of our new classmates at the start we soon got acquainted and elected our class officers. They were: Pres., Eugene Rasheta; vice pres., Roy Fox; Sec., Pat Ferrell; Treasurer, Paul Hausenfleck. Our colors were red and white, our class flower was the Gardenia, and our motto was “A steady mind is always a sure mind.” We had an elegant class party and to be different we had a Freshman Hobo Day (NO! we do not always look that way). There was also one great event that will go down in our class memory, and that was our famous “Freshmen Faint Day.” (Plop!! There goes another) The second year saw us more intelligent (no remarks) and ready to handle anything that might appear in our Sophomore year. We elected as our main guides: Pres., Frank O’Dea; Vice pres., Ronald Clark; Sec., Delores Hauer; Treas., Shirley Dumbsky. (These last two proved to be so super that we drafted them for the full three remaining terms) We had two parties that year one of which was an away-from-school-party. The red and white class sweaters arrived and the girls of the class were disappointed to find that the boys only received their sweaters and theirs wouldn’t come for awhile. But then they just grinned and took it bravely while the boys strutted down the Dyer halls. Before we knew it we were Juniors and that meant to us that we had to get doubly busy to prepare a banquet and prom which would really he worth remembering. So we again elected officers. They were: Pres., Richard Kelly; vice pres., Paul Keilman; our secretary and treasurer did a repeat performance. We were buried in candy wrappers, dance tickets, and numerous other money making schemes. But to quote Red Skelton “We Dood it,” and we put over a grand banquet on Jan. 15. The place was Teibel’s and according to everyone the food was swell. The Prom was given at the Masonic Temple in Hammond and the music was furnished by Johnny Kay. The King and Queen Dance was given on Dec. 20 and there Vessy Redar and Shirley Dumbsky won the title of Christmas King and Queen of “44”. The Jr. Girls won the basketball tourneys that year. Another great event was the receiving of our class rings. They were everything we wanted and more. But some of the Jr. boys didn’t keep their rings very long. (Wonder why????) Our Senior year was filled with all the activities we could possibly get into the twenty-four hours of the day, including working on the Jr. and Sr. Carnival. But even though the members of our class participated in all the clubs and sports in school, our main aim was to publish a super edition of the “Echo, of which Anita Dahlke was Editor-in-Chief. We spent many weary hours on this project, but it was worth while. So now we say good-bye to Dyer High, the students and faculty, all of whom have contributed to our future success as citizens of tomorrow. Most Scholastic bueid.

After days of wandering through the halls like lost chickens, we chose Miss Pierce to take us under her wing. Now we have a sponsor, what about class officers. They were: Dan Voich, president; Jack Rauh, vice-pres.; Bob Parker, treasurer; and Sally Upchurch, secretary. We chose the White Camelia for our class flower, purple and white for our class colors, and “Don’t try dying, die trying”, for our motto. After days of going to the wrong classes at the wrong time, shining Seniors’ shoes, and saying the Freshmen Prayer, we decided that being Freshmen gets pretty rugged at times. But our first class party made up for it all—did we have fun! Since it is a custom, we had to choose a queen; Rosie Miller very ably supported the class of “47”. We were really beginning to think we “Belonged” when Paula Gettler was chosen to cheer for our boys and Dan Voich was working on the Comet Staff. And, with the frequent trips to C.G's office to discuss things we were sure we didn't know anything about, our Freshmen year came to an end. After three months of luscious vacation, we found our way back to old D.H.S., feeling much superior to the Freshmen. We had a class meeting and elected officers: Bob Parker, president; Glen Eberly, vice-president; Betty Weaverling, secretary; and Bill Howard, treasurer. We felt mighty big to have Dan Voich on the first team in basketball and Bill Howard and Glen Eberly on the second team, and were we proud when our boys ran off with the Soft Ball Championship. We chose Arlene Bickham and Jack Rauh for our king and queen that year. Here we are, back in school and we are happy to say, Juniors. The officers did so well last year that we decided to keep them again this year. Our rings (and aren’t they beauties) came just before Christmas vacation—nice present. Last year, our sweaters came just before the holidays too. We are all kept busy this year earning money to sponsor the Prom and Banquet. Some of our main projects are: selling candy, sponsoring dances, putting on shows, and selling ice cream bars at home games; we also went in with the Seniors and put on a Carnival which turned out very successfully both as to fun and finances. Our Prom and Banquet turned out a success. In fact we feel very ready to take on anything which may come in our Senior year. � Page Twenty-four f President, Albert Ramsey Vice-President, Marco Voich Secretary, Jackie Hauer T reasurer, Jim Turpin Page Twenty-five SofdiosnosieA.

We were met at the tent flap by Big Chief Wahoo (alies C. G. Hunt) who greeted us with, “How are you?” We were then herded into the wigwam, where we were to have our first Pow-Wow. There we elected the following medicine men: Big Chief Wahoo Jr.— Billy James;—Big Chief Wahoo Jr. Jr.; Eugene Little:—Little Scribble Squaw,—Norma Stark;— Wampam Carrier,—Bosco Miller. We were given as our Big Evil Spirit—Paleface Squaw Teach, B. Hruskovich to rule our tribe. As our colors we selected white and green (to match us) and our motto as, “Dim but growing brighter.” They then let us go, to be inspected by the big Braves and Squaws, who, when they saw us, greeted us with a hearty, “Ugh!” Those who were more talkative said, “Ugh! Ugh!” Then came the time for our Super War Dance. Before the evening was half over our war cry was, “Give us bread. Give us meat—Wc are hungry—We want to eat.” So the moons went on the Chief Wahoo told us to go home to our tepees for a rest. As Indian summer ended we saw the smoke signal from the Big Tent calling us back. But alas! This time Chief Wahoo does not greet us, for we had grown into little squaw Jrs. and little brave Jrs. Now come Pow-Wow time again with Paleface Teach to help us, we chose the following Witch Doctors: Big Chief Sitting Bull, Albert Ramsey; Little Chief Sitting Calf, Marco Voich; Little Paleface Pencil Pusher, Jackie Hauer; Big Chief Little Money Bag (no money)—Jim Turpin. The time for Tepee own Town Tournaments draw near and so our little brave Jrs. Pitchum, sluggum, catchum, and winnum tribe tournaments. We decided to have Heap Big Fun Festival to celebrate our victory. The night for the festival came and all the little braves and squaws came in their new blankets which wc findum in parcel postum box. The evening came to an end, as this too must do, but with the hope that next year when the peace-pipe is passed, wc will be old enough to take a puff.

Glcuil tJtiAshosuf, On September 5, 1945, eighty promoted eighth graders came flocking into the assembly. After a few days Mr. Hunt suggested Mr. Jack for a sponsor and we heartily agreed. At our very first class meeting, we decided we needed some officers. Our very wise choices were as follows: Pres., Lyndon Davis; Vice-Pres., Mike Schaller; Secretary, Eula Mae Scheisser; Treasurer, Eugene Kuhn. Having accomplished this much we still needed class colors. Maroon and White had the majority votes. Our first class party was a big success. Especially when it came to refreshments. A great sorrow, which none of us will ever forget, came in the month of November. Our friend and classmate, Ruby Mae Graham, passed away. We are honored to have two Freshmen, Bill Cooke and Lyndon Davis, on the second basketball team. In the future we hope many more will be on the team. There is one incident of which we Freshmen arc very proud. We were scheduled to have a softball game with the Juniors. By a miracle of miracles, we won. The girl who has the honor, and well deserves it, of being Queen of the Freshmen Class is none other than Ovella Sweet. The same goes for our King, Al Dumbsky. So, as you can see, our first year was something which we will always remember.

GfHwne uUal GUUx Any student who has earned an award in shorthand, bookkeeping, or typing is qualified to he a member of the Commercial Club. The purpose of this club is to enable the student to obtain a general idea of the problems which will confront him in the business world. Members gain experience in managing the Book Exchange through which they sell school supplies. But the Club’s activities are not all work. Each year a trip is taken to Chicago and this year was no exception. Some of the things they will all remember are: the stage play “Dear Ruth’’, Delores hat, which was “gone with the wind”, and that, singing on the train is not etiquette. Page Thirty-four Qi L gul A group of Junior and Senior girls organized a Girls Club to provide entertainment in their spare time and to discuss Teen-age problems. The club raised funds for their activities by a number of projects, among which were the noon hour dances, sale of candles, and the plays “Crazy To Reduce” and “Ghost in the Green Gown.” One of the activities in September was the party at which the members welcomed the Freshman girls to Dyer High. A good time was had by all at the annual meeting of the Lake County Girls Convention, which was held at Gary, in April. Fourth row: Miss Hustcd, Sponsor, P. Hilbrich, B. East, S. Gordon, M.

QLee Glui With a large membership, the Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Yvonne Firme, became an essential club for those interested in vocal music. The Chorus participated in a WJOB program, “Dyer on the Air,” and presented music commemorating Armistice Day. At Christmas, the girls took part in a radio broadcast, featuring appropriate carols. Among the important events of the year for this organization were the Thanksgiving and Christmas programs, given in cooperation with the elementary school children. The girls of the Glee Club appeared beautifully gowned in pastel satin and lace formals, and sang before a delighted audience. With successful performances behind them, the Club members decided to provide entertainment in a Spring Festival. In April the Minstrel Show, regaling the audience with songs, jokes, and dancing, concluded a year of varied activities. Highlighting the band are the Baton Twirlers, who are all grade students. Their batonic energies are led by Helen Smallwood, and her assistants, Carol Rosinko and Mary Budak. Mary is absent from picture because of illness. Standing, left to rgiht: C. Rosinko, D.

They were fortunate in having new members, talent, and instruments. Two trombones, and a mellophone made a valuable addition to the band equipment, and gave a number of pupils an opportunity to enjoy instrumental study. The Hallowe’en parade in crisp October air gave the drum section, the twirlers, and other band members an opportunity to strut, and acquaint an interested community in band routine and technique. At the Thanksgiving program, the band provided music which put the audience in the seasonal spirit. The members were happy to prepare musical numbers and entertain for a WjOB broadcast and the annual Spring Festival. Page Thirty-eight Left to right: Ray Gallas.

Now that the “46” edition of the Echo has been published, we can breathe a deep sigh of relief and gently brush aside worries of those monsters called deadlines. We have tried to bring all the gaiety of our school years — into our annual so that in the future years we will be able to look back and remember when. Even those boys who left their classes to join the services, have done their share. So you can see why we are more than proud to present the 1946 Echo to you.

Pn pJtecu Since many of you students have been wondering just what has happened to the graduates of “46” we’ve decided to take you all on a tour of Dyer, “The Metropolis Of The World” where every one has settled down to spend the rest of his life in peace. Let us walk through the business section. Look! What is the reason for that crowd just ahead? What can it be that they are trying to see? Oh, we should have known. Betty Hilbrich, “The Dinah Shore of 1960,” singing at the famous “Ma’s Eat Shop” which has now become the “Ali-Ritz Club,” owned and operated by Betty Teibel who, after consulting business associates, has selected Doris Fagcn as head waitress. Next we come in view of the Swank Dress Shoppe; Proprietress, Marcelline Askins, has just hired a few new models. Here they come now, making their debut on the runway. First Martha “The Hair” Davis modeling a new Atom Green hat followed by Margaret Dumbsky in a slinky black evening gown. We’ll guarantee these will sell if they look as well on others as they do on those models. The gymnasium is next in sight, so, stepping inside, we see Lawrence Rinken-berger as heavy weight champion. His trainer, Ralph Hill, is trying desperately to get him into condition for the big game Friday night. In the next room we see Marion Pierce, the captain of the famous “Wheatie Eating” Basketball Team. She has on the floor now as her team Shirley Dumbsky, Olga Franzle, Anita Dahlke, Norma Keilman, and Betty Schweitzer. Page Forty-two Pn pAecAf. ( G uttuvue l) Leaving the famous Dyer gym and walking farther down the main street, whom should we hump into hut Madame Bohney. My, hut she must lead a wonderful life, being married to the famous Frenchman, Richard Kelley. She has her maids, June McClellan and Mildred Stolzenbach, trailing behind. Carrying “Fifi”, her ever-loving poodle, is Francis Thiel, who, we hear, is secretly in love with the Madame. My, just look at the wonderful town into which Dyer has developed. The tall skyscrapers at the right are owned by our beloved Mayor, “Honest Bill Anderson,” who says he wouldn’t be what he is if it weren’t for his efficient little secretary, Patricia Shinnick. Passing the Dyer Cafe, we hear the solid but sweet trumpet of Gerald Hovey. We’re hoping he does as well as Eugene Rasheta, who has his own band and is touring the world at the present time. Moving on into the building you are cordially invited to attend a dancing class headed by Maxine Sweet, Betty Rose, and Wanda Wallace. It is here we find Pete Keilman, Vcs Redar, Ray Gallas, and Dan Szymborsky, growing old and finding it a bit hard to keep up with the younger generation, as they try their best to learn the latest rumbas. Are you getting tired of walking? You are. Well let’s hop a trolley. Oh, by the way, Ronald Clark is the head of all the transportation lines of Dyer and, finally, has a reason to wear the derby he sported all through his high school years. Since our destination is at quite a distance, we will chat with Mr. Clark. And is he full of talk and news! We have finally found some one that can give us some information on Delores Hauer. She is now his official secretary and we learn that she and her valuable assistant, Dorothy Schiessle, have found a new cleaning solution for those derbies. We come in view of the Heartthrob Hospital where we find Barbara Phillips, Ruth Funk, and Germane Klein who are heartbeats in the hospital. Their new patient, Wilfred Hoernig, had complete heart failure over Margaret O’Brien. Since we can’t stand hospitals, we have decided to see a circus and become happy again. We enter and see Beverly Jewett and William Gard as Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thumb, the Mighty Midgets of the All-American Circus. After having such a busy day we have decided to retire to our new “glass galore homes. We can surely dream well tonight after seeing all our wonderful friends of the class of “46” who have launched so quickly and so successfully into their chosen careers. 1. Juniors Inc. 2.

They celebrated their honors with a banquet at Tcibel’s Restaurant. They started the season with two consecutive victories over East Gary. In a two game series with Merrillville, the Indians dropped the first game and then turned the tables on them with a score of 6 to 3. Winning the Merrillville game made them the Lake County “Champs”, after which they played Portage for the Lake-Porter Championship, of which they were victors. They are to be complimented on their fine spirit and incomparable record.
