Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1958 volume:

Vj THE ECHO or 1958 ST.JOHN TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL DYER, INDIANA VOLUME XX From the old into the new . . . from the past into the future . . . from one year to another . . . this breezeway typifies them all. It bridges the gap between the old building, with its antiquated equipment, and the bright new school with up-to-date facilities and modern teaching methods. Through the warm breezes of Indian summer, the icy blasts of snowy winter, and the chilling rains of early spring, students push and jostle their way from one to the other, carrying the echoes of the past into the promise of the future.

(Ralph Waldo Cmerdon Needless to say, the 1958 Echo is a quotation, a quotation of the events and activities of the 1957-1958 school year. With this theme in mind, the staff of 58 has prepared for your enjoyment Echoes Of The Past The trophy case is also an echo of the past, a mute quotation from sports competitions. Each of the trophies is a symbol of former victories, a memory of past events. If they could talk, these emblems would tell of the blood, sweat, and tears that went into the earning of them—of the hopes and aspirations that the winning of them fulfilled. 3- FACULTY AND CLASSES cA teacher a tiedi eternity; he can never tell where hii influence Atop •. • Henry B. Adams Administrators An active mind, a lively sense of humor, and a firm hand are characteristic of MR. FRED •JONES, high school principal. He gives advice oftener than penalties, and has earned the respect of the entire student body. MRS. LELA HOWELL has completed her third year as the efficient school secretary, and is known to all students for her friendly smile and general helpfulness. Because of her twice daily communiques, her voice is as well-known to the school as that of any TV or radio announcer. To utilize more fully the talents of an extremely able administrator, a new position was created for MR. GEORGE BIBICH. Formerly the high school principal, he is now supervising principal of all township schools, in which capacity he is effecting remarkable improvements in the school system. A ready smile and unfailing co-operation are characteristic of MRS. KAY TRAPP, school treasurer. With an affinity for figures and a passion for accuracy, she keeps track of all school accounts, first taking the money in and then paying it out. If an award were to be given to the best township trustee in the land, it would undoubtedly go to MR. DON MORIARTY. It would take several pages to list the things he has accomplished, and the entire school community will be forever grateful to him. When Mrs. Voreacos was given a leave of absence because of illness, MRS. DOROTHY AINSLEY took over her position as dean of girls. Mrs. Ain-sley also teaches government, and sponsors the yearbook and the Senior Drama Club. - 6 - f A Strong Mind Needs a Strong Body Whether teaching Latin or health, MRS. RUTH HOFFMAN is quietly efficient. A long time teacher of girls’ phys ed, she has had the unusual experience this year of straight classroom work, the phys ed classes having been postponed until next year when the new gym will be completed. MR. GAINEY DAVIDSON, who has a master’s degree in science from Indiana University, is new to Dyer this year. He teaches classes in health and physical science, but is best known to the community as the hard driving football coach. The students in his classes respect his knowledge and his low pressure discipline. The aim of the health course, according to Mrs. Hoffman, is to teach the girls how the body is put together and how it functions, how to develop strong minds and bodies, and how to get along with people. The classes use workbooks and notebooks as well as textbooks and, if the picture above is a fair example, appear to enjoy the entire procedure. - 7 - Homemaking Can Be Fun A new teacher, MRS. BARBARA DALTON, has come to Dyer from Shepardsville, Kentucky, where she taught last year. She is a graduate of West Kentucky State, where she received her B. S. degree. Mrs. Dalton’s home economics classes include courses in good grooming, nutrition, and sewing. MRS. MARY ORR is back in the homemaking department this year, teaching classes, supervising the cafeteria, sponsoring the Pep and Home Economics Clubs, sitting on the Faculty Review Board, and never running out of cheerful energy. In the second year homemaking course, the 1st semester is devoted to advanced foods and nutrition, while the 2nd semester takes up child development and home care of the sick, plus a short sewing project. During the period devoted to foods, the girls study meal patterns, and plan meals that are pretty, delicious, and fun to prepare. In the picture above, Terry Miller, Clara Roe, Barbara Robinson, and Sandy Tewell enjoy the cinnamon twists they have made during the study of quick breads. - 8 - f Shop Department Trains Future Industrialists Teaching embryonic draftsman how to letter properly and to make working drawings is just one of MH. JOHN LINLEY’S many tasks. In his wood shop classes he teaches the use of all hand tools and emphasizes the use of safety measures in handling power equipment. His students have turned out many professionally finished articles such as pump lamps, TV chairs, coffee tables, desks, and gun cabinets. A ready smile and a shop apron are characteristic of MR. HERBERT PEARSON. His specialty is metal shop, in which he gives an exploratory course to determine the boys’ aptitudes. His students are taught the care and use of hand and machine tools, and basic manufacturing techniques. They have made beautifully crafted tools such as ball peen hammers containing small tools in their hollow handles. High school boys have a splendid opportunity to become acquainted with the metal machinery used in industrial manufacturing. The shop equipment includes a drill press, a milling machine, a shaper, grinders, and lathes. In the pic- ture above, Mr. Pearson is explaining a counter boring operation on an engine lathe to Tom Ludwig, Pete Elder, Bill Burk, Louis Berg, and Wayne Baker. -9- Library and Art Appeal to Many Students During any hour of any day a scene like the one above can be seen in the school library. Magazines, reference books, encyclopedias—they all have their place in education. From left to right around the table in the foreground are: Margaret Delinck. Pat Herman, Julie Hinricksen, Margaret Nichols, Ronald Reeder, Albert Yelich. and Joe Hegyi. Our school librarian. MISS KATHY ARBUCKLE, is shown here checking out a book in her temporary quarters. No student ever finds her too busy to help him find reference material for a term paper or a suitable book for a book report. Miss Arbuckle also sponsors the cheerleaders. Although most of her classes this year are in the grade school. MRS. LENORA SMITH has one high school group. She is leading the students through a survey of all phases of art. showing how the basic art elements tie in with all forms of art. At Christmas time, the pupils studied the theater arts and made stage sets for their favorite Christmas carols. From Postulates to Parallelograms Sines and cosines, arcs and circles - they’re all part of the advanced math course. As this is a college preparatory course, it is based on the theory of mathematics rather than practical application. Solid geometry is studied the 1st semes- ter and trigonometry the 2nd. In the classroom above, Barbara Brown and Bee Collard appear to be solving problems, while Bill Wheeler and Charles Johnson examine a blackboard protractor. As the sign on the background bulletin board shows. MRS. MARY LOUISE ADAMS not only teaches textbook mathematics, but also its everyday use. Although she was here for only one semester, she gave the freshmen in her classes a firm foundation in algebra and general math. If L PAO P‘A‘0’. and MR. KERMIT KERNS than any of his students, what is the resulting equation? Mr. Kerns teaches plane geometry , advanced math, and physics, but is better known to the student body as the Athletic Director. Sponsoring the sophomore class is another of his activities. - 11 - Commercial Classes Are Always Crowded Teacher of future stenographers is MISS BEULAH HUSTED. In addition to teaching typing and shorthand, she sponsors the Commercial and Sunshine Clubs and manages the bookstore. MR. BUREN HOOPER, a graduate of Indiana University, has come to Dyer from Rising Sun High School. Although Mr. Hooper’s favorite subject is business law, he enjoys teaching typing and bookkeeping, and looks forward to his after school basketball coaching. He is a prime favorite with all students. oooooc MR. RAYMOND JONES, a newcomer to Dyer High School this year, is a graudate of Indiana University. He is shown here explaining the placement of typewriter keys to one of his typing classes. The pupils in his classes progress rapidly, and consider him a fine instructor. Pictured above is one of the two second year typing classes. The girls typing so diligently are (from front to back) Karen Dutton, Sandra Lawrosky, Monica Sabo, Irene Tkacz, and Lilly Bukowski. - 12 - Social Studies Make Good Citizens MRS. BARBARA CONNOR began the year as a substitute, but soon became a full time teacher. With two classes in government, two in speech, and one in senior English, she has scarcely a moment to call her own. MR. ROBERT MYGRANTS teaches his United States history classes the importance of understanding the present through knowing the past. Current events, news films, and maps are among the teaching aids he uses. Young and energetic, MR GLEN EBERLY is one of the most popular faculty members. After teaching classes in world history, sociology, and economics, he finds time to sponsor the Lettermen’s Club, to coach the baseball squad, to serve on the Faculty Review Board, and to help out anywhere else he is needed. Senior Dennis Myland is explaining to his government class how the freedom of our American way of life can be traced back to England in 1189. - 13- “Speak the Speech, I Pray You, As I Pronounced It to You-—” An attractive addition to the English department is MRS. JANET CRISCO, graduate of West Glenville State, West Virginia. Mrs. Crisco teaches junior English, breaking the monotony of infinitives, participles, and such with Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, and other American greats. Undaunted by a steady diet of freshman English classes last year, MR. JOHN PETROFF returned this year for more of the same. Occasionally he plays his piccolo for his classes or reads some of his original writings to them. A very busy man is MR. ROSCOE PROTSMAN. Practically at the break of day he starts supervising the arrival of the school buses, during the day he teaches sophomore English, and after school he expedites the departure of buses. In addition he directs the visual education program. - 14 - f Amo, Amas, Amat A familiar smile and a typical pose! MR. LOUIS IACON-ETTI, instructor in Latin and Driver’s Training, deserves his popularity with the students. Whether it’s clicking a camera shutter, supervising a dance, or overseeing the coke bar, he is always ready, willing, and cheery. As junior class sponsor, he has had a busy year, keeping 122 juniors on the straight and narrow. Miss Pierce is always willing to lend a helping hand to any Spanish student who needs it. Here she is checking to see if the class is understanding the lesson. A teacher who tremendously enjoys the subject she teaches is MISS RUTH PIERCE, and the subject is Spanish. Her bulletin boards are always filled with items pertaining to Spain and Mexico, and her students learn not only the language, but also the Spanish way of life. In addition to the Spanish Club, Miss Pierce sponsors the school newspaper. - 15 - Biology and Music, Too Whether it’s feeding the living or dissecting the dead, the laboratory is the place to do it, and MR. ERNEST VER-EB is always in firm control. He teaches a chemistry course as well, and sponsors the senior class. A newcomer to Dyer High this year is MR. DOUGLAS JORDAN, the band director, who comes to Dyer from Roosevelt College, Chicago. He has given the band a tremendous boost, and he has the enthusiastic support of both school and community. - 16 - Bill Dewes, Pam Dicks, and John Erdelles-three student-s from Mr. Davidson’s biology class --are shown here studying the growth of water plants.

Bob Schwenke was an eloquent toastmaster and shared the limelight with speakers from both classes. Prom King and Queen Linda Lawrosky and Jim DeGoey proudly pose after being chosen queen and king of the 1957 Junior-Senior Prom which was held at Lake Hills Country Club. Rhythmical dance music was provided by the Diplomats and, needless to say, a good time was had by all. - 21 - The Student Council is made up of one elected representative from each home room and meets in regular session once a week. Its purpose is to give the student body a voice in the formulation of school policies, and to recommend activities or procedures that will improve the school as a whole. This year it sponsored and financed the installation of an artificial ice skating rink which was a huge success. Members of the Student Council are: SITTING: Marcia Yates, Gail Ciaglia, Stan Huseman, vice-president; Sharon Gard, president; Judy Gilliam, secretary-trea- surer; Jerry Patchman, and Diana Duncan.

Two more entries in the float contest - a junior third place winner LEFT, and a sophomore float RIGHT. - 25 - “Who’s writing headlines?” “Where’s that interview?” “When do I get the typewriter?” These are typical comments to be heard in the Comet room when the staff is getting ready to send another issue to press. The school newspaper is published at.least once a month, and the credit for it is due to the staff members. In the picture above are: STANDING: Sharon Hanrath, Donald Friedricksen, Monica Sabo (editor), and Jim Peifer. SEATED: Karen Dutton, Joann Sarbon, Vera Miller, Nancy Arndt (editor), Sharon Dewes, and Sandra Lawrosky.

He is attentively watching a highly reactive chemical solution, waiting for the exact moment to drop in a sulphuric substance. As expressed in its constitution, the aims of the Science Club are to increase knowledge in science, perfect skills in science, give service to the community, understand the importance of science in life, and to further science in the school. The earnest young scientists shown above are: STANDING: Mr. Vereb, sponsor, Ken Rudisel, Tom Austgen, Larry Karsten, Richard Bunyard, Lorin Clemenz; SEATED: Robbin Burnison, Bill Weaverling, and Jim Berg. The most important project of the Commercial Club is the management of the school book store which handles books and general supplies for the entire student body.

SEATED: Gail Cialiga, Judy Gilliam, Phyllis Caldwell, and Sharon Hanrath. - 29 Sunshine Girls Serve Others The Sunshine Society, an organization for Indiana high school girls, was formed in the 1920’s as a service club. There are 200 chapters, one of which is the very active group at Dyer. The activities this year began with an evening initiation of new members and a reception for the mothers, continued with the Christmas Tree Formal and Easter baskets for the Carmelite Orphanage for boys, and ended with a flower decorated birthday banquet in honor of its twelfth birthday. The activities of the 150 members are planned by the officers and executive board shown above.

Miss Beulah Husted (center), assisted by Miss Ruth Pierce and Mrs. Ruth Hoffman, has sponsored the Dyer chapter of the Sunshine Society for twelve years. During that time many projects for both school and community have been successfully carried out, and countless girls have discovered the happiness that comes from serving others. - 30- Delores Moisoff Is Queen of Christmas Tree Ball The most exciting mid-winter social event each year is the Sunshine Society Formal. This year it was called the Christmas Tree Ball, and the theme was carried out by the large Christmas tree in the center of the gym floor. After the queen was crowned, the dancers joined hands around the tree to sing “I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas ’, and the next dance was led by the queen and escort. Delores Moisoff, representing the junior class, was crowned queen, and her attendants were Diana Stephen (freshman). Marilyn Zu-vich (sophomore), and Karen Dutton (senior). Delores Moisoff Diana Stephen Marilyn Zuvich Karen Dutton Dyer High’s Majorettes have added rhythm and color to many of our festivities. They marched in the Hallowe’en parade and are busily strutting and twirling for events to come in the future. Resplendent in their gold and blue uniforms, complete with shiny white boots, they are: Mary Gaskill, Joyce Dado, Beverly Fleschner, Mary Long and Jennie Satterlee. Twirling and Tooting Make Fun For All Even though the band is not the largest in the land, hopes are high for the future. Under the capable direction of Mr. Douglas Jordan, it will continue to grow, instrument by instrument, and section by section.Band members seated left to right are: Earl Ciaglia, Den-nid Myland. Allan Betz, Frances Byerly, Judy Bunyard, Roxanne Williams, Bill Schiffbauer, and Dexter Graves. The Candid Camera Ah, at last it’s lunch time. This group of seniors seem to be using the forty-five minute break for talking as well as eating. Pictured counterclockwise are: Irene Tkacz, Leroy Miller, Clarence Kistler, Diana Duncan, and Bob Schwenke. The coke bar, which was leased to the junior class by the Student Council, was a profitable venture. The juniors, who finance the prom and banquet, are going all out to raise funds for their purpose. Bill Mathews and Lem 01s stand behind the counter ready to serve all of the eager customers. Junior class rings have arrived! Edward McBride, Micha-lene Vrabel, Janet Keilman, and Tom Austgen gaze with envy at Marjorie Wilson’s ring. The juniors have looked forward to this day for almost three years. Jamaican Holiday Lures Dancers For its annual formal dance, the Echo staff presented A JAMAICAN HOLIDAY ion March 7th. The colorful decorations included wind-swept palm trees along the side of the gym. and a spectacular sunburst on the silk draped stage. Posing in front of THE KEYNOTES are the girls who represented the school clubs in competition for the coveted title of Miss Echo of 1958. The girls are from left to right: Judeen Thiel. Miss Commerce; Bea Collard, Miss F.T.A.; Monica Sabo, Miss Comet; Janice Czech, Miss Pep; Sue Plimpton, Miss Echo; Irene Tkacz, Miss Sunshine; Sandra Lawrosky, Miss Drama; Linda Newlin, Miss Lettermen; Linda Ericks, Miss Spanish; and Margie Fogarty, Miss Homemaker. Queen for the night was the Lettermen Club’s candidate, pretty Miss Linda Newlin. Linda, a sophomore, is shown here flashing that winning smile that helped her capture the title and crown. Caught by the camera against a background of gaudily painted Jamaican Figures, this group of party-goers appears to be sitting out a dance number - - perhaps for greater listening pleasure. - 34 - Glimpse Into the Making of a Yearbook Layouts, copy forms, headings . . . names, dates, stories . . . can that deadline possibly be met? But of course it is, and the Echo staff relaxes for a week or so before the next period of feverish activity. The yearbook is a pictorial history of the school year, and is the result of careful planning and loving labor. In the picture above, the camera caught some of the staff members in an uncharacteristic calm and quiet. From left to right they are: SITTING: Barbara Brown, Sue Plimpton, Bob Schwenke, Irene Tkasz, Vivian Britton, Sharon Gard, Roy Segert, Joe Paris, Mike Weeks; STANDING: Leroy Miller and Jim Boiler. Business manager Paul Green seems to be passing the buck to editors Diana Duncan and Judy Stark as he interrupts their preparation of the dummy. A successful advertising campaign and careful pre-planning are essential to the production of a good yearbook. Mrs. Ainsley, sponsor, explains to Kay Bly and Bob Kilander the difference between good and poor picture layouts. Staff members learn many things while producing their book - - proportion and balance, colorful copy writing, aggressive salesmanship and, of course, patience, precision, and perserverance. - 35 - The seniors shown above represented the Senior Drama Club when they presented the class play, THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED. A fine production was given to an enthusiastic audience and it is hoped that the presentation of this play will set a precedent for future classes. From left to right the seniors are: STANDING: Monica Sabo, Bill Seaman, Nancy Arndt, Sharon Dewes, Bob Schwenke, Sharon Hanrath, Sandy Krager, Danny Lane, Mary Templeton, and Diana Duncan. SEATED: Sue Plimpton, Judy Stark, Hon Hanson, Francis Delinck, and Sandy Lawrosky. Throughout the year, various organizations have contributed to school spirit by giving lively skits at the pep sessions. The seniors had an upper hand in this skit. Representing “Tired Wheatfield” are: CLOCKWISE: Loretta Hill, Kay Blv, Vivian Britton, Judy Norris, and Sandy Lawrosky. The Indians are Pat Charters and Margie Smith. More Seniors Who but a senior would forget his locker combination? Fortunately, Howard Richardson comes to the rescue of forgetful Clarence Kist-ler. No senior page would be complete without this year’s Jacketmen. The blue and gold jackets symbolize the hours of time and effort the boys spend to make our school a real contender in the major sports of football, basketball and baseball. STANDING:Mr. Eberly, Allen Betz, Jim Peifer, Tim Topa, Bob Kilander, Bill Rakoczy, and Andy Pepkowski. SEATED: Bob Schwenke, Tom Jostes, Roy Segert, Ron Hanson, and Jim Tewell. It isn’t very often that the seniors have a chance to be completely idle, as they are in the picture to the right. The camera caught this group as they were dawdling in the hall, waiting until the very last minute to go to class. The girls in the foreground are: Marilyn Smith, Joan Reitman, Sharon Gard, Loretta Hill, Joann Sarbon, and Judeen Thiel. The temporary partition between the government classroom and the library reveals as well as conceals. The shot at the left might be used for an essay on the relationship between feet and personality The boys at the left are the unheralded workers who give their class time and their projectional abilities for the benefit of students who enjoy the break in classroom routine for a movie. They are: Dick Strom-quist, Clarence Schelfo, Jim Tewell, and Frank Stark. Humble, but Noble Workers Every play requires a stage, and every stage requires a maintenance crew. The eager workers below (Dave Maschger, Ron Mitchell, and Roy Lax) can boast faultless operation of the stage and its complexities throughout the year. Pictured below are the St. John Township bus drivers, the men whose punctuality in ferrying the students to and from school is deeply appreciated by all. They are: Tony Mrs. Sophie Dinges, Sandy Tewell, and Mrs. Pansy Cathey are shown performing their respective duties in the cafeteria kitchen. The work of these able individuals is accomplished with one goal in mind—to provide a tasty repast for the students and teachers at lunchtime. Two members of the school staff whose usefulness is of great benefit to the maintenance of the school are the two dependable men below: Pete Keilman and Fritz Jung. Grau, Freeman O. Goodge, Frank Hillbrich, Joe Stevens, Marvin McBee, Robert Jung, Louis Hankins, and Joe Hoffman. • N8 - 39 - SPORTS When the One Qreat Scorer comes to write against your name—J4e marks—not that you won or lost— but how you played the game...

Last year he had a fine, winning team at Rising Sun, Indiana, and now he is using his extensive basketball knowledge and strict squad discipline to build a winning team at Dyer. Starting in a new' gym next year, Mr. Hooper’s players will be constantly striving to improve the team.

Many of the B-Team boys have gained a lot of valuable experience and hope to play on Coach Hooper’s varsity squad next season. With several freshmen and sophomores on the squad. Dyer can look for a fine varsity in the next few years. Coach Davidson Good Passing, Clutch Shooting, and Practice of Fundamentals Helped Dyer Capture a Calumet Conference Victory against East Gary.

Kay believes that next best thing to knowing what is in the books is to know where the books are. Seniors In Action It was an important day for the seniors when the graduating caps and gowns arrived. Although the measurements had been carefully taken a month or so previously, each senior had a small doubt as to whether his particular set would Fit. In the picture at the right, Karen Dutton and Sharon Dewes are showing Joe Hegyi and Stan Huseman how they should be worn. Many attractive pieces of furniture were made in Mr. Linley’s wood shop classes. Coffee tables, book cases, and desks were popular items, and some fine work was done by the boys. This desk is a typical project, and is being given finishing touches by Mike Doolin, Greg Willy, and Rich Claus. -inn t ADVERTISE MENTS Jiou can tell a nation’s idea Li from it a advertising...

Some are gaining knowledge and experience in special trades to become journeyman machinists, carpenters or electricians . . . some are concentrating on certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing lines. Still others are working in laboratories building a sound foundation for a future in steel research. Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent opportunity to further his education. Employees may participate in a variety of on-the-job training programs, or they can continue their formal education by registering for evening courses offered by local Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers.

INLAND STEEL COMPANY Indiana Harbor Works Employment Division 3113 Block Avenue East Chicago, Indiana - 122 - Our Dream is Coming True This is just a silent corridor of sand and beams, meaningless at present; soon, however, it will be a noisy, bustling hallway, filled with students rushing to their lockers between classes, and flying from one demanding teacher to another. Our gym, when completed, will be the scene of contests and merrymaking. It will seat 1600 and give to the physical education department the space needed for an up-to-date phys ed program. This is the beginning of a new school and a new era. Now the old building overshadows the new, but soon the new will tower over the old, blocking it from sight but not from memory.
