Gone forever will be the routine of school life, the rush of frenzied activities, and the excitement of games and dances. Between these covers, the Echo staff presents a panorama of the i954-1955 school year. As autumn gives way to winter, and winter yields to spring, sportsandactivities change, too, adapting them- selves to the seasons and the holidays. The staff hopes that you will enioy this seasonal record of the school year, ancl that its echoes will long remain with you.

We do not feel that way about our Dyer toot- be proud of a team that has lost most of its games.

The team, coached by Jim Jacobs, had its best season in three years, holding its own in the regular season meets and finishing third in the Calumet Conference. Much of the credit for this fine showing can be given to Jerry Young who, as usual, did a fine iob. Jerry, who seems to be a natural born runner, finished third in the conference meetand iust missed going down state by coming in eighth in the sectional meet.

When many ofa team are playing varsity ball for the first time, it is self-evident that they will not be champs. But four of this year's varsity will be back next year, so students and coaches are looking forward to a fine season in '56. Jim Jacobs, Coach To Coach Jim Jacobs we owe this year's basketball successes. It was he who worked unfalteringly with the boys, most ofwhom were playing varsity ball for the first time: he cheered them onwhen morale was low: he suffered most when they went down in dire defeat, took no credit, when much wasdue him. Sa, to him we say, Thanks, forall you've done for us. 28 Nov. Nov Nov Nov Dec Dec Dec Dec Jan. Jan. Jon. Jan. Jan. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb.

In the won-lost column, our record showed 5 won and 13 lost. Many of those in the lost column were lost by very close margins, proving that a B team ball game can be very exciting. Many of the B team boys have gained the necessaryexperience to become varsity players, and will be seen play- ing first string ball next year. We think we had a very good season and we are looking for- ward to another year.

He it is who takes the young, in V- experienced players, spends long hours teach- ing them the Funda- mentals, and then turns them over to Coach Jacobs for varsity duty. He too works hard, re- ceiving very little credit but always doing an im-A portant iob. To him also do we extend our grat- itude, inthe only way we know how. Thanks, Coach. Glen Eberly, Assistant Coach l Rich Palm, a senior forward, Ray Jarsyzak, a senior guard, had a fine shooting eye and worked very hard in every de- partment. Bob Kilander, though onlya Freshman, was good enough to play varisty ball, and did very well too. Don Peeples, Manager i - - was top scorer and liked to play--win, lose, or draw. Paul Burke, another Freshman, shows great promise and did a great fob of rebounding. 30 Dan Jostes, a sophomore, is a good example ot dynamite in a small package, Jerry Young, a senior guard, was a good defensive man who could drive anybody crazy fhis Jack Morley, Manager opponents that isl .

As soon as the baskets come down in the gym, the balls and the bats come out, and every day the three school diamonds are filled with eager young players develop- ing throwing arms or batting skill. During the pastsix years Coach Jacobs and his crews have given the fans many enjoyable games filled with baseball thrills. One way or another, Dyer usually comes outon top, and Jacob's record shows three con- ference championships and three second place ratings. At present, Jim Dinges, '51, is playing with the Milwaukee Braves and Rich James, '53, is on the Indiana University squad. As the yearbook goes to press, prospects for a win- ning season look good. A team loaded with young talent and sparked by a few veterans should go far. The boys are eager to play and willing to learn, and the chances are good that they will add another trophy to those that now glitter in the display cabinet.

Senior Ray Jaryszak tells freshman Bob Kilander some of the secret tricks he has learned during his four years of base- ball experience. me in Joe Govert and Al Bowles should be a great combination next year. They've been playing second base and shortstop for two years, and have become valuable assets to the team. No, these boys aren't the well paid bonus babies you've been hearing about, but Dan Jostes and Herb Gerlach, young baseball pros- pects at Dyer High.

The dignified seniors now patiently wait to be called up onthe stage to receive their diplomas--a certificate of success after four years of study and learning.

The pretty girls in their for- malsand the handsome boys in their tuxes helped to make the evening a special occasion. All who attended will have lasting memories of the prom as being one of the nicest dances ever planned at Dyer. The glowing faces of these couples reflects the en- ioyment everyone had at the prom.
