Catholic students learn by reaching out in all directions : in academics, in their Christian faith, deep within themselves, in their activities, in athletics, in each other. In school, learning requires giving — giving ideas and receiving them, letting them disturb the comfortable old kaleidoscopic pat- terns of our thinking until the vari-colored pieces fall back into a new mosaic. The spectrum of abilities consists of more than the mem- orization of facts or manual skill from language, business, history, music; of even more than reason and logic from math and science. The underlying fibers of each field impart an aes- thetic sense of symmetry, of struggle, of truth and reason, and a deeper understanding of people, past and present, of each other, of self. Learning is . . . discoveries in all areas of human experience which when brought together form a person. i f ■te. 1 •25 _ . lW M| 1 Kf TT iK , ' v_y V .

MIDDLE LEFT: Parishioners bid Father Gorman farewell. BELOW LEFT: Father Yeager joins serenaders from Oklahoma and Carousel at his de- parture program. 10 Staff turnovers dispel serene tenor of living Transfers of Father Yeager, principal the past two years, of Father Gorman, other fac- ulty, and personnel have touched the lives of teachers and students in a way that would be difficult to express in words. Bishop Donovan ' s directives effective Aug. 31 sent Rev. Robert Yeager as administrator to St. Mary High School, Sandusky, and brought Rev. John Lester from Calvert, Tif- fin, and the appointment by the pastor of Rev. William Parker as principal. Additional as- signments came Oct. 11 when Rev. Thomas Gorman, assistant since his ordination in 1959, was appointed to Blessed Sacrament in To- ledo and replaced by Rev. George Koerber, St. Mary, Tiffin. Speakers honoring Father Yeager besides those pictured below were the then Mayor Richard Wulfhorst and Coach Robert Arn- zen. At Father Gorman ' s farewell speakers included Fathers Schill, Yeager, Parker ; Mr. Raymond Pohlman, Joseph Scherger, and Mr. Louis Scherger (MC). If the yearbook would have had a dedica- tion, it could well have gone to Mrs. Henry Weisgerber ' 26, who resigned in November after having served under all the priest-prin- cipals since 1952. Mag received a portable television from the students at her tarewell. Some speakers for the farewell of Rev. Robert J. Yeager, principal from 1965-67, were Pastor Rev. Jo- seph I. Schill, the departing principal. Assistant Rev. Thomas J. Gorman, Superintendent Arden D. Blythe, New Principal Rev. William C. Parker, Student Council Preside nt Joseph Scherger and the Master of Ceremo- nies Mr. Louis Scherger, president of the local school board. UPPER RIGHT: Increasing physical disability was a factor causing Mrs. Henry Weisgerber to resign as high school secretary. 11 Priests witness God through communication with teens; Throughout our high school days there is al- ways one group of people willing and ready to help us in anything. These people are the priests of the faculty. They are a source of counsel and understanding. They form friendships each per- son cherishes and make a link of better communi- cation with modern teenagers. In religion classes, they point out to students the role Christians must play in life. As the Constitution on the Church says, theirs is often a humble and hidden service in which their generous cooperation with their bishop and pastor is of greatest value to their growth in holiness, and therefore, ours. The students especially appreciate and ad- mire St. John ' s novice principal. Rev. William C. Parker, for the way he willingly and whole- heartedly took over that demanding job. His de- termination that We are the best! stressing a spirit of devotion and pride in the school and its aims, generates contagious school spirit. Father Parker, born November 12, 1938, ordained May 30, 1964, and still in his first assignment, has shown leadership and concern by advising St. John ' s Young Christian Students and teaching two classes of sociology in which he emphasizes student responsibility to learn by research and thought rather than by formal classes.

Father Koer- ber supplements his classes with a tape recorder and term papers, a Srst for many juniors. REV. JOHN E. LESTER, M. Ed.. FIRST ASSISTANT. Father gained the regard of seniors by emphasis on the new liturgy and a frank approach to Christian marriage in sociology. LEFT: THE REVEREND JOSEPH I. SCHILL, A.B., PASTOR OF ST.

The teachers who make up the faculty mold the ideas of many students so it is important that their views are educated and unbiased. The dedicated instructor relates his subject to present happenings. History becomes not just a study for dates but an application of last year ' s decisions to this year ' s problems ; math becomes not just addi- tion and subtraction but a possible solution to eco- nomic situations. The realistic faculty member is always searching for new ideas, therefore he listens to and respects his student ' s opinions. If he disagrees he encourages an adult discussion because he knows that through dis- cussions many problems are solved and many ques- tions are answered in a satisfactory manner. An educator is always looking for new and inter- esting ways to teach. He spends much time reading books, borrowing movies, and playing records in the hope that his subject-matter will be more interesting. The teacher gets involved in student activities. He knows a well rounded student needs social outlets so he volunteers to head committees, to chaperon dances, and to advise organizations. Teaching is a tiring job. The hours are long, the pay isn ' t great, and very often the students are un- appreciative because of their youth. Right now is the time and place to thank our faculty members for being so great.

Rosella, M.A., teaches mechanical drawing and English III, along with having the rental book system. Whether it ' s Macbeth or Wuth- ering Heights, Sister ' s tried and true techniques, eagerly anticipated by the underclassmen, are a tradition at St. John High. 17 Students benefit from staffs ' efficient management As a comfort to the seniors who are confused with all the paperwork needed for college admittance, Mr. Rupert too seems bewildered by Mr. Alt ' s papers. Because a school is a unit of people cooperating for the promotion of education, many think of a school only as teachers, students, and homework. Al- though non-faculty staff members are not always in close contact with students, they are never forgotten, because of the efficient assistance these people give to make the school the best. With detailed knowledge of careers and their re- quirements in college, the guidance counselors de- velop in the students a yearning for higher education. They also aid with class schedules, tests, scholarships, arships. Cheerful smiles and helpful attitudes create an atmosphere of serenity and friendliness in the school office despite hectic activity. Whenever a problem, large or small, arises the office force will help. The care and order of the library ' s card catalogue and reference materials are important jobs to librar- ians surrounded by nearly 600 students. The librar- ians are always eager to help find information, while easily accessible fiction and paperbacks encourage students to read, read, read. Lunch in the cafeteria is a break in the day that everyone welcomes. Good food and quick service are the specialties of the cooking staff. Building stages, heating, lighting, and repair work are only a few of the jobs of the maintenance men, who keep clean a well-equipped building in which the students can study and work. Sister Mary Herman ' s desk, usually heaped with national j test scores, college catalogs, career pamphlets, or class schedules, is cleared in order to discuss nurse ' s training with Marsha McGinnis. 18 TOP: Even a special picture-tak- ing session in the oSce is not safe from an interruption by someone who is sure the school will grind to a halt without immediate attention of Mrs. Robert Swick, Mrs. For- rest Hanser, and now retired sec- retary Mrs. Henry Weisgerber. ABOVE CENTER: Always eager to help the students are our libra- rians Mrs. Mary Will (standing) Miss Emma Metzner, and Mrs. Marie Myers (seated).

Touching souls with the mystery of Christ and making Christianity a vital force in the lives of students who will, in turn, bring Christ to others is the aim of Reli- gion. It highlights the better life. As the years progress and the teachers vary so do our understandings of Religion. In a school like ours, each stu- dent realizes the need for a good Religion Course. With the help of an interested teaching staff it has been possible. Father Parker celebrating a Retreat Mass with Rev. John P. Murphy, O.S.A., and Rev. Edward J. Kersten, O.S.A., joins servers and students in the com- munity Out Father. 1 20 Dramatizing principles learned in Mr. Rupert ' s Religion class are Edward Reinemeyer, Keith Heisterman, and David Placke. William Becker leads di scussion in Father Koerber ' s junior Re- ligion class. For the sociology classes Father Lester conducted Bible Services which helped them understand the Scriptures better. 21 Panel discussions are features of Mr. Rupert ' s literature class. Mary Scherer pronounces the phonetic alphabet for Mr. Ellis in English 11 . Sister Mary Delphine ' s developmental readers advance 22 J Communication arts offer new experiences Because almost every occupation requires the abil- ity to read, write, and speak English this subject is high on the school ' s curriculum. In order to make it appeal to students different devices and techniques are used. Drama, paperbacks, and movies help make the experience of literature enjoyable, as well as educational. This year some juniors and seniors had the op- portunity to take a special literature course. These students worked mainly with classics and modern novels, English, American, and Russian. Journalism is closely related to English because it uses that medium, but it employs a different style. Clear, concise, and simple newswriting is emphasized. The Shield, a monthly publication which appears in the Delphos Herald, is a product of the journalism class ' time, effort, and skill. In speech class another aspect of English — good delivery is brought out. Its students learn how to express their ideas effectively. Vocabulary, speed, and comprehension are tools of learning acquired in developmental reading. SPIRITUS Rita Klaus, editor of The Shield, shows the November deadline to Sister Mary Victor ' s journalism class.

RIGHT: Lenore Shumaker and Walter Rem- linger learn to think of everything before answering in Latin I for Sister M. Victor. 24 Foreign language skill needed for worldwide understanding Because language, by which people communicate ideas, is the basis of all knowledge, it is beneficial to understand languages besides one ' s own. Knowledge of a foreign tongue opens a whole new field of study, making the people, customs, viewpoints, and literature of other countries more alive, and is important for world cooperation and peace. It is through speaking that friendships are made and differences worked out. Of the three foreign languages offered this year Latin, the father of the modern Romance languages, is the basic tongue. Students who take four years of Latin become acquainted with early classical literature, like that of Cicero and of Vergil. Spanish, now offered to St. John students on a shared-time basis at Jefferson, profits a student intending to travel, because it is the native tongue of so many countries. Through the works of great French writers, French has become familiar to well-educated people, and is often used as the common language at international gatherings. A relatively new subject at St. John, the course uses records stressing idiomatic conversation. 25 Using complicated business machines is routine for office practice students Darlene Pothast, Maicia Pohlman, Mary Bohnlein, and Katherine Maas. Students diligently watch Mr. Kapp as he instructs them in economics. 26 ! All eyes focus on the board while Mr. Kapp explains the fundamental setup of a ledger page in bookkeeping showing business transactions. Information, know-how pay profits to business students Although the commercial department of most schools is good, that at St. John is ex- cellent. Fifteen classes in Shorthand I II, office practice. Typing I II, personal typing, bookkeeping, record keeping, general busi- ness, and economics salesmanship are taught each day. This year Sister Mary Herman ' s shorthand students have been aided by new dictaphones which make classroom experiences parallel those of the business world. Office practicers develop skills in various iields, such as filing, billing, duplicating and introduces students to data processing. Many students are using the opportunity to take personal typing for one semester from Sister Mary Eventia. Shorthand students use dictaphones to increase dictation speed. Typing — a course that demands practice — yields manual skill and readable papers. 27 In Algebra I Ronald Elwer and Robert Moenter await further dictation or help but hope for help more than for numbers. TF David Berelsman uses his slide-rule to play peek-a-boo with the camera- man for a little diversion in Math III. 28 I Math provides a challenge to develop reasoning by discovery or proofs Mathematics offers many facets of pursuit for young people wanting careers in science, economics, and business. As many students have witnessed in math — whether it be algebra, geometry, modern math, or trigonometry — though it is very compli- cated at times it can be very easy to compre- hend. Math can fill a person with thought through the interesting field of numbers. Although many students are puzzled by math and despair getting it, they also experi- ence that getting the right answer to a prob- lem or a good grade on a test has its values and enjoyment. Tests and homework may be hard but understanding numbers and their re- lationship to our world will stay with them to be used in their future lives in many prac- tical ways.

His truth and beauty are manifested nowhere so fully. Biology classes are set in the perfect environment of Room 24, with its display case filled with three-dimen- sional projects and exhibits. With more equipment every year, students experience the unique thrill of discovering life all around them, even in creek water and in onions. General science, a course in basics of varied fields of science, helps students understand the world around them — how it works, its creatures, and natural forces. In the senior physiology course, now in its second year, the anatomy of man is thoroughly studied. This training is especially helpful to students planning a career in medicine. Chemistry encourages students to experiment, reason, observe closely and thoughtfully, and try new combina- tions, in order to answer the eternal question Why? This approach to problems teaches valuable principles for future decisions. Measuring sound waves and memorizing Einstein ' s theories of matter and energy (E = mc-) are routine for physics students, who commute to Jefferson for the class. They also work with optics, heat, electricity, and magnetism on lab days. Physics makes visible a world of unseen forces that affect people ' s lives; it teaches stu- dents to look for the true cause behind the effect. FAR ABOVE: Gloria Heitz. Terry Fetzer.

Our social studies de- partment has, among other things, helped the students to realize that they are living in an age of wonder and intelligence. Learning the legacy our country has received is its chief purpose. American history and government delve mainly into the components that make up Ameri- can society. Students are informed of develop- ments in the nation through films, discussions, and required reading. World and ancient history make us grateful for foundations laid in times past. World geography observes the vastness of our world and how distances are diminishing.

Last year the pit band offered its special touch to the class play with curtain overtures, but this year the pit band contributed to the seniors ' pro- duction of OLIVER! by playing the whole score. An unusual concert took place March 3 when the St. John orchestra combined with the Jeffer- son orchestra. The 106-piece joint band, under the direction of Mr. Frederick Sills and Mr. Robert Slattery, played both popular and classical selec- tions. Another successful undertaking by the tal- ented musicians was the organization of a basket- ball pep band. This thirteen-member group treated the fans to pop music between games and at halftime. The marching band has carried on the commu- nity-minded tradition of past bands by partici- pating in local parades. It also entertained the spectators at home and away football games.

Through vocational agriculture, students obtain a knowledge of the technical side of farm life. Mechanical drawing students are future archi- tects and engineers. During the two-year course their projects include drawing gears and designing a house. Home economics teaches girls basic steps in cooking, sewing, and ways to make their work ap- peal to people. Interior decorating, home nursing, child care, and budgeting are third-year subjects. The drivers ' education course is vital, not only to relieve parents of worry about accidents involv- ing students, but especially to fill the new drivers ' education requirement for an Ohio license. In gym classes, volleyball, basketball, Softball, and exercises help keep girls trim and boys muscle- bound, while developing reflexes, teamwork, and quick thinking. Fringe benefit: after gym students feel alert. LEFT: Drivers ' training helps eliminate many serious accidents, so Sophomore James Carder is learning the rules of driving.

They meet as classes or as clubs — small groups of people with similar interests banded together to seek a common goal, whether it ' s a play, a dance, a student voice, a further knowledge of Latin, or business, or farming, or teaching. They learn more than parliamentary procedure, more even than the effectiveness of organization and teamwork. Organizations are do-it-yourself psychology courses. Members learn how to get people to produce for their own satisfaction and the sake of knowledge. They learn how to encourage each individual to contribute his own unique talents to a project for which he personally will get no credit. Most importantly, they learn to evaluate and respect each other ' s ideas. 38 Learning is . . . discoveries in all areas of human experience which when brought together form a person. 39 Queen Elaine graces Minuit Joie, Homecoming Game To dream the impossible dream doesn ' t seem so impossible for Elaine Grubenhoff anymore. The impossible dream for any high school girl is the day that her name is announced as the homecoming queen. For Elaine this dream has come true, as she was elected the 1967 Home- coming Queen of St. John High School. Minuit Joie, or Midnight Joy, of the homecoming dance could be seen radiating from Elaine and her court. The dance was highlighted when Joseph Scherger, Student Council President, crowned Elaine, and the 1967 queen and court were presented to the student body. Members of Elaine ' s court and their escorts were the following: Seniors Susan Bohnlein with George Beckmann and Deborah Kayser with Daniel Rode; Juniors Valerie Best with Anthony Kill and Bonnie Osting with Edward Etzkorn; Sophomores Jane Bertling with Jack Kill and Susan Pothast with Karl Plumpe. Though the game was delayed several weeks because of the weather, the anticipation of the girls was not dampened. After the attending court and Elaine were introduced, the 1967 Football Tri-Captains James Wegesin, John Odenweller and Robert Spieles crowned Elaine queen. Elaine ' s address consisted of a simple Thank you, but the fans, team, and student body could feel the happiness and joy which was hers. v i FAR LEFT: Elaine Grubenhoff is led toward her throne by Student Council President Joseph Scherger, with the band as honor guard.

Fountain Fantasy, with The Soul Incorpo- rated providing music, the gym glowing in an atmosphere of fountains and flowers, and lit by camera flashes, enchanted dancing cou- ples. Punch flowed through a shell fountain to emphasize the theme. This year ' s senior musical was OLIVER!, based on Charles Dickens ' novel OLIVER TWIST. Oliver, an orphan in London ' s slums, makes many acquaintances in his search for a real home. Director John Gunder said tech- nical difficulties dictated a return from the round stage to the conventional proscenium stage. Try-outs for leads, chorus, and dancers were needed because o£ the increased number of seniors, with other seniors in publicity, stage construction, and set design. An under- class pit band, directed by Mr. Robert Slattery, played all the musical accompani- ment. Toni Ludwick, Arlene Lehmkuhle. and Linda Long take a few moments to browse through souvenirs at an Ohio Turnpike station before seeing the play HALF A SIXPENCE at Cleve- land on the junior-senior class trip. Some of the leads of OLIVER! gather around a table at the Three Cripples pub to watch Nancy dance as they wait fot Fagin, Daniel Hiett. Mr. Gunder asked the girls to rehearse in costume as much as possible so they would get used to the long skirts around their ankles. Atop the table is Taffany Miller, and around it left to right, are Kathryn Minnig. David Neumeier, Diane Noonan, Marsha McGinnis, Mark Miller, and Patrick Rekart. Mrs. A. J. Meyer applies make-up for Terry Schlereth as Oliver. Adventures with greasepaint, false beards, grey hair, and pencilled age lines, which have fascinated students since, as grade school students, they caught their first glimpse of seniors running from the grade school dressing rooms to the wings, are an amusing and interesting part of the senior production. 43 Achievements Elaine Schmit is shown collecting money for Muscular Dystrophy. This is only one of many activities that illustrates the effect of the Student Council in the community. Students are represented in these services to help others, and appreciation is shown for their cooperation. Mission representatives. TOP LEFT, LEFT TO RIGHT, ROW ONE: Vice-President K.

Through the mission society, the stu- dents practice their faith by raising money for the Propagation of the Faith and for sisters in New Guinea by dances, a Mardi Gras, and individual contribu- tions. The Student Council represented the students to the community at Supt. Robert H. Christy ' s farewell, an ecu- menical prayer service, and charity drives, besides managing school social events, campaigns, and amateur athletics. ABOVE: Student Council Mem- bers.

Mr. Robert Gorley of Bowling Green State University presents attractions the university offers to St. John students who attended College Night sponsored by the Honor Society. National Honor Club, JCL have intellectual purposes Scholarship, leadership, character, and service are qualities promoted in members of the National Honor Society founded in 1921. St. John chapter served by spon- soring College Night, Dec. 11, and a test for national scholarships. Qualified upperclassmen who maintain a B i average or better may belong. A new idea introduced by Consul Sue Elwer in the Junior Classical League is that since more freshmen and f sophomores study Latin and join JCL than upperclass- men, initiative should come from underclassmen. A fresh- man idea popular with students was a candy-apple sale i to raise funds. Projects of the club include sponsor- ing the Auxilium Latinum test, Latin Week to emphasize that Western culture sprang from Greece and Rome, and attending State Convention at OSU Columbus, Mar. 9, where the club showed a scrapbook and a wood-and-wire mobile. 46 Junior Classical League, Chap- ter Declinatio Romano.

Under the first FTA charter in St. John in 1967-68, there were approximately 45 members supervised by Sister M. Herman. The mem- bers aim at acquiring teaching experience through assisting their teachers. They organ- ized a Career Day in April. Many boys from St. John have been at- tracted by the great freedom of self-govern- ment under adult counsel which the FFA offers. With the guidance of Mr. Lloyd Smith this vocational agriculture organization ' s goal is development of agricultural leadership, co- operation, and citizenship. JA is in its second year with St. John stu- dents. This organization, sponsored by com- munity businesses, aims to acquaint potential business owners with the functions of running an enterprise. In Delphos there are two JA companies, one producing sterling silver trays and the other kitchen grocery-list plaques. The Serv-it Company participated in a JA fair at the Lima Mall, Feb. 3.

The students can learn sportsmanship from the players, who are always ready to help a fallen opponent up or talk to him as a fellow lover of the game. Their spirit is inside. It shows in their determination, their don ' t-give-up attitude. What keeps them going despite injuries, long-tiring prac- tices, curfews, the necessity of forfeiting other activities, and embarrassing mistakes? The attraction is a natural spirit of competition, a desire to use a skill they know they have and to be involved in the sport, and one of the beautiful drives of youth — a longing to be committed to something. 52 Learning is . . . discoveries m all areas of human experience, which when brought together, form a person. 53 As Coach Ellis watches, these chess players study their next wove in a battle of minds.

Enthusiasm, list of sports grow at St John Three new extra-curricular sports have been added to the list this year. The spring of 1967 saw the introduction of golf. The major event was a triangular meet between St. John, Jefferson and Fort Jennings. In the very first season the Jays were long off the tee and straight down the fairway to capture first place. Medalist for St. John was Joe Scherger. Under the direction of Coach Ellis a Chess Club was started. Participation was high and competition keen as opponents matched wits in the game of Kings. Judo has also been introduced into the athletic program at St. John. This is included in the already existent weight-lifting pro- gram under the supervision of Coach Vogt and Coach Rafferty. Physical ability as well as mental aware- ness are developed by these programs, and it is hoped that participation will continue to grow throughout the coming years. Football trophy winners.

With no alibis in- tended, the team was very young with the defense being composed usually of ten underclassmen and one senior. The offense had seven underclassmen and four seniors, three of whom were Tri-Captains Jim Wegesin, John Odenweller, and Bob Spieles. This was the case during most of the season, but because of numerous injuries the Jays were unable to retain this position. A total of 18 lettermen will be on hand for next season, the largest number in the past four or five years. Lack of experience and of depth constantly badger most coaches and the Jays were no excep- tion. This problem, we hope, will correct itself with the large number of lettermen returning, ac- cording to Coach Rafferty. The Jays played in the Tri-County League for the first time and finished in fifth place. Largely because of 18 returning let- termen, hopes are held high for next year ' s season. 57 iij iiM iiiiMiSft ' ll Struggling Blue Jays fight to overcome opposition 58 FAR LEFT TOP: In a clash of power our team players quickly bring down the Ansonia Tigers.

Also they get a faint idea of the pres- sures and skill required by the varsity players. The winning boys ' team was under the direction of captain Jim Scherger. Members of this team were D. Holdgreve, M. Wanne- macher, J. Myers, T. Hempfling, R. Miller, R. Carder, D. Steinbrenner, T. Kill, S. Mans- field, G. Fetzer, A. Haunhorst, P. Bockey. Referees were Mr. John Gunder and Mr. Roger Lindeman. Girls ' intramurals saw the seniors beat the juniors, 17-11. They were held under the direction of Mrs. Bonnie Meyer. Referees were Barb Bonifas and Judy Hilvers. Senior Bob Carder leaps for a rebound during a fast-paced intra- mural game. Scorekeepers are always an important part of athletics. These boys do their share by keeping track of the scores during boys ' intramurals. 61 We 60 .. 95 .. 83 ..

Enthusiasm was at a peak this year as the Blue Jays turned in a record of 12 wins and 6 losses. This is an even greater accomplishment when one considers the caliber of competition. Of these teams 5 were among the state ' s elite. Four of the losses were to teams which ranked in the Top Ten in the state. One of the highlights of the ' 67- ' 68 basketball season was the defeat of Shawnee in an overtime. We were the first team to defeat Shawnee on its home court in three years. The cagers also overran arch-rival Lima Central Catholic twice. Under the leadership of captain Ken Burgei, start- ers Bob Spieles, Steve Clark, Mike Thitoff and Jack Kill led the team. Of course. Coach Arnzen ' s expert training with the assistance of Coach Dan Rupert, brought our scores up.

Teamwork brings Blue Jays successful season Delphos St. John summer baseball team enjoyed a very successful season. Its Blue Jays were named Allen County Tournament Champions, receiving the Allen County championship trophy and an invitation to participate in the Acme State tournament. In the tournament the Jays won three games, lost two, and advanced to the semi-finals. The overall season record was a satisfying 17 wins and 8 losses. Those participating in the summer program who will form a nucleus for the 1968 Blue Jays baseball team are John Odenweller, Bob Spieles, Don Holdgreve, Bob Minnig, Jack Westrich, Mike Powell, Ron Klaus, Roger Calvelage, Gordie Fuerst, Dick Rekart, Mike Warnecke, Jack Kill, Virgil Kill, Chuck Spieles, and Roger Fisher. Outstanding performances were turned in by hurlers J. Kill and D. Holdgreve. B. Spieles, and J. Odenweller handled the chores behind the plate. R. Klaus and J. Odenweller formed a respectable double play combination. A good stance helps make a good hit, or so Don Holdgreve hopes! 68 il f A quick catch by Jack Kill destroys all hope the runner has of reach- ing first base. Few run- ners score when they ' re up against the combined efforts of the Jays ' ball team. Coach Ellis proudly accepts the Allen County Acme League Championship Trophy from Athletic Director Father Parker. Teamwork and tremendous determina- tion proved the Blue Jays were a great baseball club. 69 Class Pictures People learn from each other . . . No one learns alone; a person isolated from people knows as much of human nature as he will ever know. During the school day, at games and meetings and dances and around Delphos, the students of St. John learn each other, because each person is different. There are serious or angry loners and bubbly, extroverted people who are always laughing; there are aggressive, in- volved people and sweet, retiring people who don ' t want or need the limelight; there are dreamers who are not always conscious of reality and practical people who can make dreams into reality — but they are all people — people to be admired or disliked, imitated or shunned, but never ignored, because they are a cross-section of humanity; they teach human failings and virtues, compassion and indifference. Maybe the learning is giving to each other; maybe it ' s be- coming receptive to others; maybe it ' s sharing ideas and knowledge; maybe it ' s just being quiet so others can learn — but it ' s the most important part of education. 70 Learning is . . . discoveries in all areas of human experience, which when brought together, form a person. 71 At the freshman Halloween Dance first awards went to Rosemary Sever and Joseph Meyers who dressed as Silver Beard and Goldfinger.

There has to be one studious person in the class, but others work together (not necessarily on the subject for this class), borrow paper and pencils, or just talk.

Being leaders was awesome ; they have grown more in the last three ' years than ever before, but now they are seniors. In homecom- ing, festival, sports, organiza- tions, retreat, holiday dance, and OLIVER!, they tried to give their best, to learn as much as they could. It ends May 26 with a di- ploma, but something else be- gins — something always will. They have become, as far as they could in high school, those complete Christian persons their experiences have made them. God grant that they have learned all they could, for they will not pass this way again.

Up with people who learn and live Oh, the wonderfulness of people! People have made this year an eventful one for me — people who were so willingly always ready to coop- erate, to pose for a picture or write an extra headline; people who strengthened my patience by not cooperating (there were so many of the first and so few of the last), people who overlooked my being late or pre- occupied, for the good of the CREST. Some of these people, to whom go special thanks, are Sister M. Victor, who ran the CREST campaign, scheduled class pictures, and made all the arrangements with the publisher that only an experienced journalist could handle; Linda Freiburger and her section and Darlene Pothast, who proved themselves committed people; and Mr. Duane Ruck of Kaufman Studios, an artist who would do anything from climbing on the roof to standing in the middle of Second Street to get the pictures we wanted, and who rushed so many prints through to meet our deadlines. New elements — some gleaned from the best yearbooks, some original staff ideas, some the latest trends in journalism — include a mod design cover, a theme symbol, new theme and faculty section formats, mood pictures on a standard two-page divider design, headlines with only the first word capitalized, cutlines clustered together, new picture angles; new ideas combined with the best of last year ' s design make each succeeding year- book better than the last. Our theme, Learning . . . together, is a concept composed of two ideas. We learn through every facet of our lives as students — not only from books and teachers, but from sports, clubs, going to games and to Mass, working on dances and service committees. In this capacity, the whole yearbook is an account of student life. Some staff members wanted to em- phasize the feeling of oneness that pervades high school years (especially within the classes) and makes them distinct from those of grade school. In this unity, we learn together; no one learns anything about people and how to live with people except from people and living.
