SUMMITVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Summitville, Indiana Volume 31 OAK LEAVES SHS and a song—don’t appear very comparable, do they? But to probe a little deeper, each does contain similar elements. For example, academics, the basic reason for school, could be called the underlying melody for the student body; athletics could be sub- stituted for a song’s active rhythm. Organizations, too, place in this musical structure; they contribute the blending notes to make the daily schedule more in- triguing. A final comparison deals with the most essential area of education—people. The students themselves qualify as the composers, for they create the song by their actions and words. Each adds an inexplicable part of himself to the music of the school year, unconsciously individualizing it. Yes, the song composed by SHS students in the 1968-1969 school term was a unique one; it can never be replayed, only remembered. That’s why the OAK LEAVES exists.

Anticipation of winning stimulates the students' learning from Mrs. Mary Jane Brewer’s racetrack of words in the summer reading program. Releasing the rope while in the middle of the lake doesn’t upset Max Frazier and his skiing partner. 4 in community Not ready for Bin D” yet, Tony Ice watches a demonstration by Mr. Everett Webb during the summer basketball clinic. As afternoon shadows begin to form, Marlene Frazier enjoys one last round of skiing. Happiness is riding a merry-go-round with a little sister as an excuse. Bight, Debbie Fisher? With the end of school, SHS students plunged into a frenzy of summer activities. Most succeeded in ac- quiring suntans and sun-streaked hair before the end of the first month of vacation because of the unusually hot weather. Baling hay, store work, and painting houses occupied the hot days while AC games, in- formal basketball practices, and drive-ins filled the evenings. Highlighting the summer were the annual fireworks with the dedication of the newly constructed war memorial and the fairs of surrounding counties. Many students ended the summer with a final fling by camping out or relaxing by watching the political conventions. 5 The beginning weeks of school were like a song’s introduction; they gave a preview of the year ahead. Friendships were renewed, summer experiences dis- cussed, textbooks were re-opened. Seniors began to enjoy their newly acquired status while the unfortu- nate freshmen submitted to the traditional teasing. Under new supervision for the 1968-1969 season, cheerblock members still wore their sandals when they selected winter uniforms, gold berets and black turtle- neck sweaters. Groups canvassing nearby towns also became a familiar sight as yearbook advertisements and magazine subscriptions were sold. Suddenly everyone realized that school had officially begun as the end of the six weeks arrived, accompanied by those first report cards. Striving to become bilingual, Melody Webb keeps her Spanish book with her in case she finds some spare” time. Ringing bells revive dormant minds Becoming totally absorbed in one’s work is a sign of becoming a great painter—visible even in the first days in art class. Sharpened pencils and alert minds are prerequisites for the juniors during the annual tests. for autumn studies Accuracy is instilled in Mr. Ronald Reiman’s students even in their first attempts at drafting. School resumes but summer sports continue giving Terry Small a maintenance chore on the baseball diamond. 7 With “Misty Moonlight” blue completing the background, Patty Broyles reigns as queen at the 1968 Prom. Blue and silver set Junior class president, Tony Abbott, enjoys the senior prophe- cies as well as amuses the guests. Suspense turns to ecstasy as Melody Hall and Mary Meyer are announced as attendants to Queen Patty. background for 1968 Prom festivities The theme song, In the Misty Moonlight, created a mellow mood for the final dance. A slight mist was falling as the guests arrived at Linder’s-On-The-Point for the 1968 Junior-Senior Prom. As they entered the room draped in blue and white streamers, a colorful waterfall and moon-shaped table decorations caught their eyes. The platform for “The Brass Sound was complemented by the light blue background with silvery stars framing the theme, “In the Misty Moonlight.” Following the buffet style dinner, the '67 Prom queen, Lynda Ice, relinquished her title to Patty Broyles. At midnight, the festivities were concluded with the rendition of the theme song for the final dance. Many guests, however, participated in the post-Prom activities, a movie and breakfast. 9 Mike Jessie receives last minute touches as Gloria Pyle pins on his boutonniere. Caught in a quieter moment during the game, Elaine Allen meditates on the Goblins' action against the Arabians. Final tourney appearances trigger Participating in the Madison County Tourney and the sectional at Marion were the two highlights in basket- ball action at SHS. In January ’69 the Goblins tackled the Markleville Arabians on the Anderson court. En- thusiasm and suspense reigned as the tipoff came, but Goblin teamwork could not overcome the 70-56 result. Sectional time, too, led a drive for victory as Summit- ville drew Fairmount for their opponent. Giving the team a rousing send-off from a decorated school and excited student body, the players demonstrated their spirit and ability on the Marion hardwood. A closely matched battle was fought with the score constantly wavering, but finally the SHS representatives received a tense 65-61 outcome. Syncopating the rhythm of the SHS basketball season, these athletic contests added another spirited touch to the 1968-1969 year. Goblins lie in wait as the struggle over the rebound occurs under Marldeville’s basket. Goblin spirit at SHS Strategic position and knowledge of the ball’s location prove essential to Alan Muey’s attempt to regain a loose ball. “We can’t go on meeting like this,’’ says Dennis Shelton to his Quaker opponent in the Summitville game at the sectional. 11 Dramatic endeavors Aiming with deliberate concentration, Mike Hughes, portraying Wayne Frake, tosses a hoop in hopes of impressing his girl. Recurrent battles over the best pickles engaged Jeff Stanley as Able Frake and Roxanne Wable as Mrs. Ratlins. Pickles and the prize hog are topics of discussion during the Frake's coffee break at the performance of the senior play. 12 focus on senior play and variety show Combining four popular songs into “The Girl Medley, Baker’s Dozen appears at the variety show. Running the gamut from the country and western music of “State Fair” to the award winning songs and religious numbers of “Varieties ’68,” the SHS dramatic events encompassed many phases of music. While the casts of each labored through long night rehearsals for the exact meanings of lines or for precise timing in the dance arrangements, properties crews swiftly scampered to supply the needed articles backstage. A ten minute Pepsi break, coming in the middle of each evening, relaxed everyone and furnished the strength for facing more short-circuited stage lights and ringing microphones. Even little “slips,” as the variety show’s impromptu sock commercial or the senior play’s “canary that swallowed the cat,” added excitement to the final productions. Doing the latest dances in Mod style clothes, the SHS go-go girls introduce Varieties ’68.” 13 Tackling a front scale, Nan Little demonstrates one of the many stunts she learned for the state gymnastic meet. Vying for a part in the spring demonstration, Mary Isenburg combines a shoulder stand and a candlestick. Onlookers marvel at dances and stunts Music, an ever present factor at SHS, accompanied spring demonstration routines and escorted seniors to their graduation ceremonies. The “Wide World of Sports” featured stunts on the parallel bars, the rings, and the rope; while the modem dances and free floor exercises were performed in unison with the musics mood. The seniors, too, had to master that special walk through the gym in order to receive their diplomas. With the sudden evidence of black and gold tassels on car mirrors, the realization came that the high school years of the 1969 class were finished. Dancing to Alley Cat,” Cathy Lintz, Marcia Crouch, and Patsy Ulery portray a dog and its feline counterparts. 14 Elusive four years lead to graduation Trying on the long-awaited robes, Connie Hannah and Larry Crump discuss the big day. Symbols of graduation become a reality to seniors during the last weeks of May. Pondering the future, seniors wait for the traditional grad- uation music to begin. People are the mechanics of a school who make each year unique. Summitville fifth and sixth graders experience team teaching for the first time. Junior high students have their primary opportunity to select officers and participate in extra-curricular activities. The 1968-1969 Juniors sell a record breaking $3000 of magazines to finance the spring prom. The seniors start their final year with the selection of graduation announcements and caps and gowns. As the year evolves the creative personalities of SHS compose the melody of the novel song. 17 As the autumn leaves fall, Tony Abbott, president; Tim Watson, vice-president; Marcie Clark, secretary; Melody Hall, treasurer, select senior announcements and make decisions for graduation.

Lights of SHS cast an air of expectancy for Open House. 60 Yielding to man’s progress, the old school meets a quick end. Expansion again forces SHS history into limelight The history of Oak Grove for the past seventy-five years may be easily characterized as one of constant change and expansion. Within this three quarters of a century, classrooms expanded from the original eight to a present tally of twenty-three; the number of graduates has increased from four in the first senior class to the present fifty; and total enrollment has increased immensely. One of the first dramatic events to demonstrate this occurred in the year 1916. Summitville students and faculty staged a parade on the main street of town carrying signs saying “We want a gym!” This need was further dramatized as SHS made its first appearance in sectional play at Anderson and were ridiculed because they had no athletic facilities. As a result, Summitville High grew to include its very first gym. About two decades later, the need for further de- velopment and favorable public opinion spurred the school board to plan the construction of a new school in the same locality. Actions rapidly replaced plans as the old structure was destroyed and the new one quickly erected. Shortly after its completion in 1964, Summitville and Fairmount schools joined to form the Madison- Grant United School Corporation. At this time plans are being made and carried through for the new school. Thus, the horizons of SHS are once more ex- panded to far greater dimensions. Blueprints depict floor plan for a Madison-Crant high school. «I Honors are created to acknowledge the outstanding achievements in all phases of education. These awards involve special people at SHS, like the ones who rated excellent at the Ball State music contests or the outstanding Thespian who has accumulated the most points. The unceasing work and long hours not readily visible to others contribute a large part to the hard- earned success, but even these fade into the back- ground when the excelling student is called to receive his award. Somewhat like a song when sung a capella —without accompaniment—the recipient stands alone, away from any company of classmates, his individual talent being recognized. 63 Academic accomplishments bring renown A symbol of superiority, the valedictorian trophy reigns as the most coveted award given during graduation. Talented not only in music but in math too, Roxanne Wable experi- ments with a new tune on her bass clarinet. 64 Third year Spanish student, Linda Broyles, prepares herself for a one-month study session in Saltillo, Mexico this summer. ,o SHS students No matter where or when, Tony Abbott and Larry Crump always seem to find time to play jokes on one another.

Academics at SHS are the key to educational fulfill- ment, just as a song's meaning is derived from its various verses. In order to present a comprehensive program, schools must diversify. Thus, in the lan- guage arts department this year, newly adopted books challenged students to better comprehension in the field of communication. The staging of a mock Pres- idential election provided student involvement in current issues. With school not ending in May as former traditions dictated, education was extended to summer courses in driver’s education and typing. 73 Scientific facts evolve from the Two bisecting lines are parallel to a plane if. . . . It's all very simple, isn’t it, Herb? Drawing pictures in math class is strictly forbidden unless one is using a compass.

Activities establish the pulse of school life, as the chorus of a song keeps everyone singing. Since students stay busy studying, eating, and sleeping, one might think that club participation would be hampered. However, the cheerblock performed precisely with the exception of an occasional black card appearing in a field of gold. Also, money raised by the majorettes brought new outfits to ballgame half-times. Though Baker's Dozen lost its creator, television appearances, special billings, and constant rehearsals occupied singers’ evenings. Although SHS’ers found free moments scarce, it is quite evident that they made time for participation. 89 GAA and cheerblock stir enthusiasm of competitive girls Precision is the key to success for cheerblock card section.

The 1969 year marked the close of Summitville’s participation in athletics as a single school; however, its teams fought with the traditional spirit of SHS. During the hot summer afternoons, the baseball team would gather for a tiring, but rewarding practice. Also in track and cross country, the determination to com- pete was evident as the sportsmen would assemble despite the inclement weather. In November as bas- ketball season arrived, the muscular and mental exer- tion of all participants was strongly evident and grew stronger as the season progressed. All of these qualities joined to strengthen the final beat of sports at SHS. 101 Track generates competitive spirit Exerting all of his strength, Mike Waller gains the extra inches needed to clear the hurdles.

Delco-Remy Division of General Motors • Anderson, Indiana GM 142 Striving to produce an ideal annual, the 1969 staff blended their efforts to create the last yearbook at SHS. This feeling of unification among the members caused the daily publications period to fly by quickly, but the progress on each section was evident. Unique complications, such as securing weekly advertise- ments for needed money and meeting the early dead- lines for color pictures, added to the basic require- ments of drawing layouts and composing copy. A special cover design created by Aletha Jones also intensified the book’s individuality. Nevertheless, the final deadline arrived with the sponsors’ sighs of relief and with everyone agreeing that the best was yet to come—the published product, the 1969 OAKLEAVES.
