Tippecanoe Valley High School - Saga Yearbook (Mentone, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1975 volume:

“Only the Beginning’’ In the beginning, TVHS was divid- ed. With two campuses, students need- ed only the opportunity to walk through the doors of the new Tippeca- noe Valley High School and all rivalry began to die. Basketball season arrived and as one team and one pep block, students yelled for one school to be victorious. Other areas of competition and school representation followed with the same spirit. Students worked and achieved together. They groped and made their way through the rest of the year together. And it was “only the beginning”. 2 This page, upper left: Darrell Hudson and the other drummers set the beat for the rest of the band. Upper right: The Vikings struggle for another victory.

From putting in the winning basket to completing an art project of macrame, goals were made and met most of the time. Students could Find a variety of new things to do with the new cour- ses offered, extracurricular activities, and just enjoying the new school. Acting, singing, jumping, tumbling, swimming were all part of the new happenings at TVHS with the play, spring concert, the gymnastics program and opening of the pool.

A young music publisher and pros- pective English teacher, Albert Peter- son (John Hill), finds himself beset with urgent problems. His secretary, Rosie (Rita Murcia) wants one thing: to marry Albert. Another pressing problem is Albert’s domineering mother Mae (Nancy Ettinger). But most worrisome of all is the fate of Conrad Birdie (Don Hurd) who is vir- tually Albert’s creation and chief support, a rock ’n roll singer of im- mense popularity. Birdie is to be draft- ed into the army and Albert’s business as songwriter-publisher-manager faces collapse. “One Last Kiss” is the hit song that Birdie is to sing to fan, Kim MacAfee. The song and Birdie’s visit to Sweet Apple, Ohio splits Kim (Liesel Stroh schein) and her steady, Hugo (Kevin Duzenbery) up, but with the action of Act II, all is resolved-Rosie and Albert are together, Kim and Hugo make up, Mae Peterson is sent back to New York with Birdie and the Mac- Afees (Theresa Edwards, Brett Hack- worth and G. Hoover) are a little shaken by the experience. Back the 50’s to TVHS Clockwise beginning near left-“One special boy,” sings Kim to love sick Hugo Peabody.

An Evening of Enchantment Soft lights, glittering stars and the spiral staircase set the mood for the Junior-Senior Prom. With the theme “Stairway To Heaven” the juniors transformed the commons into a beautiful night with golden stars. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Prom King and Queen Mike Lewis and Melinda Hartz- ler. As king and queen they led the dance to the theme song played by the Mason Bros. During the after-prom “American Graffitti” and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” were shown while Twin Axe provided the after-prom music. At 2 am breakfast was served to everyone.

The advanced speech class produced a radio show broadcast over WRSW and did various audio-visual projects. Journalism class studied the newspaper and printed the school paper bi-monthly. TVHS brought the world closer with four languages, German, Span- ish, Latin and French. These classes were exposed to differ- ent aspects of their countries as well as the languages. Math Challenges Eager Minds General math, Algebra I and II, ge- ometry and advanced math were classes offered in the math depart- ment. These courses were instructed by Wayne Cumberland and Robert Du- Bois. Students studying math investi- gated further into the world of angles, degrees and planes. Simple numbers soon developed into formulas on pa- per. Theorems and equations often baffled students until explained and practiced many times. 30 Bottom left, Wayne Cumberland silences students; Bottom right, Robert DuBois explains alge- bra; as he helps students in the middle peture and works an equation in the center right picture. Top left, Mr. Cumberland explains a problem on the overhead projector. Above, Dave Creighton explains some biology terms. Middle right, Vic Gamble smiles for his students.

Science students took an in-depth study of the world around them. The advanced biology students spent several weeks cataloging the types of trees and plants in the school’s woods. Explore World of Science Studies Center on Our Society and Its History ■ Maybe history cannot be changed but some of the classes can. Mr. Igney and Mr. Metzger taught two new classes this year, economics and sociol- ogy. Mr. Igney also taught U.S. history, government and psychology. He tried new methods to make the classes more interesting. He employed a student- teach-student system where a student would take over discussing a chapter. To induce more thought than just memorization in sociology, volunteer panels would discuss topics related to the chapter. Mrs. Graham also taught psychology and U.S. history. Mr. Pratt engaged his time in World history and U.S. history. All the government and psychology students had an opportuni- ty to visit a mental hospital in Fort Wayne and the state capital. Top left.

Techniques were guided and improved with the aid of new equipment. In the foods department a microwave oven-a practical experience to the future. Sewing was aided by a room full of brand new machines. In a corner by itself was a beauty center, where students learned techniques in being beautiful. Advanced home ec students had a dabbling in home furnishings. Mrs. Wanda Fox, (opposite) taught the home ec classes. Developing skills in farming was the main goal of Ag I-III. Instructing the classes was Forrest Kantner, shown at left. He hoped to do some actual farm experiments, but because of lack of time and equipment the projects were not carried out. Agriculture classes ex- plored basic problems in crop and stock production. The students also kept records on production. Aspects of farm management were also dis- cussed.

They lead cheers for football for the first time and for the new Viking teams. The girls put much hard work into the difficult mounts and varied yells. The first trophy won by TVHS was won by the six varsity cheerlea- ders while attending the USCA camp at Hartford, Michigan. The trophy was awarded for the best uniforms. They also won a ribbon for their pom-pom routine. In addition these six girls received a trophy and ribbon for their uniforms at the Elkhart County Fair. At left.

Football also was the first attempt to unite the students of the new school. Both the junior varsity and freshmen teams had winning records and initiated fans to the thrills of football. Head coach Smith and his assistants, Tom Roy, Jerry Eaton, and Phil See, instilled discipline and dedication in both teams. At left, when Coach Smith gave instruc- tions to Fuller (38), Anglin (22) and Rock- hill (11) they knew they had better listen. First row, left to right: J. Hammond, S. Kruger, S. Jamison, J.

Twelve boys became the first Tippecanoe Val- ley Viking basketball team. The team and Coach Floyd Henson put forth much time and effort into bringing the team together. In the first weeks before the first game, practices were held with much uncertainty as to where they would be-at Mentone or Akron or, hopefully, at the new gym. As the date of the first home game drew near, many believed the gym would not be finished in time, but with minutes to spare the doors of the new TVHS gym were opened. As the season progressed the Viking gym was filled with each game as the fans enjoyed the spacious gym and the winning performances of the Viking teams. The Vikings ended with a 17-5 record, a holiday tourney trophy and two good games in the sectional against Triton and Rochester.

Highlights for the concert and stage bands were the two-day tour and the Spring Concert. The pep band performed at the home Viking basket- ball games. A special group of musi- cians performed for the play, “Bye Bye Birdie.” As the year closed, the band members were anxiously await- ing the arrival of the new uniforms and looking forward to summer pa- rade marching and a trip to the State Fair Band Contest. 78 Bands: Blow It!

They worked hard so they could perform well on their tour with the band. The chorus also won a first at the NISBOVA Band and Choir Contest. The spring concert was their next achievement. Four songs were sung by them. The chorus voted Me- linda Hartzler to receive the National Choral Award at the concert. The choir’s final performance was at com- mencement where they sang “The Impossible Dream.” Two smaller singing groups were formed from the chorus, the Swing Choir and Girls Chorus. The Swing Choir sang for several clubs and the Girls Chorus sang for the Sunshine’s Ideal Ladies Banquet. Above: the Swing Choir performs during the Spring Concert. Below: the Concert Choir rehearsed once a day for the tour and concert. 80 Singers! Girls Choir-Sitting, left to right: B. Hackworth, G. Mark, D. Blackburn, R. Lee, and F. Hackworth. Standing: J.

All were memorable events for the first senior class of Tippe- canoe Valley High School. The year started with the trading of senior pictures and a fall trip to Washington. Soon it was time to make decisions . . . what colors to choose and which announcement would be best. It was decided that green and gold gowns would be worn for graduation and would become a tradition in the following years. With the arrival of spring, the senior activities in- creased. Another trip to Washington for a second group of seniors, a visit to the State Capitol, and the prom filled the days. Anticipation mounted as the graduation date grew near. Soon June I arrived and the seniors long awaited wish came true. We were here for just one semester, but we were num- ber one and it was “only the beginning.” Senior Class Officers 1974-75 86 Opposite top-Senior cords Front row, left to right: Nancy Ettinger, Marga Thomason.

In October class rings were ordered,but the class had to wait patiently for them to arrive in the spring since the new school crest had to be designed first. They also broke the tradition of everyone having the same style ring, but square rings seemed to be the most popular choice. On February 15 the sophomores sponsored a dance featuring “Simon Genesis.” Sophomores contributed to many activities and sports as they made up the majority of the first TVHS junior varsity football team and of the junior varsity basketball squad. 113 Jodee Stinson Carl Strohschcin Greg Swick Bruce Tutorow Terry Vaughn Steve Vogel Jeff Wallace Jackie Walton Max Waymire Dave Weber Brian Welch Jon Werner Rick Wilburn Mike Wildermuth Virginia Wireman Arica Witham Jay Woodruff Daryl Wright Larry Wright Mike Wright 114 Enter, the Freshmen Eric Alspaugh Rick Amburgy Lysia Arnett Vicki Arnett Jane Bach Janet Balmer Tim Banghart Jim Bazini John Bellamy Arissa Black Cindy Blackburn Patty Blankenship Tim Boganwright Orville Bolin Donna Bollhoefcr Shelia Bose Jerry Bradway Renee Brucker Jeff Bucher Jim Bussard Steve Carr Debbie Chilcutt Brenda Claxton Donna Clemons Judy Conner 115 Mark Conover Denise Cooper Loric Crippen Sheila Cumberland Brenda Davis Richard Davis Patty Doering Mary Dorsey Brian Duke Tom Dunnuck Rob Duzan Greg Eaton Corliss England Susan Eryman John Ettinger Carol Eawley Larry Fisher Gail Flammc Debbie Frances Lance Fuller Freshmen class co-officers are left to right: Sherri Miller, Secretary; Mary Ann Nyenhuis, V-Pres.; Susan Eryman, S.C.

High school with its many adjust- ments had students confused but not completely lost. Freshmen crowded through their own yellow hall in the new TVHS building. Before the move, freshmen congre- gated at the football games. Friend- ships began to form and the oneness as a class was developing. They had the satisfaction of a perfect season and a successful basketball squad. Both helped to pull the frosh together. Left: Rex Keirn puzzles over a drafting prob- lem.

Monroe Mentone, IN. 353-4165 141 And It Is .. . “Only the Beginning Faced with uncertainties, TVHS students and faculty found that many problems could only be settled with time. The year was filled with disap- pointments, challenges, new and re- newed friendships, laughter, sport events, homework, and anticipation. With completion of TVHS post- poned during December, no one knew when the mass exodus from the old high schools would take place. Classes were scheduled for the second semes- ter as though we would be combined. The gymnasium was nearly filled to capacity at the opening basketball game. The completion of the gym gave hope towards moving into the rest of the building by the first of the semester. Everyone waited for the command to move. Pep sessions, football games, carol- ing, and clubs such as FFA and Pep Club gave students an opportunity to mix and become acquainted prior to moving into TVHS. Students tried to develop a oneness in spirit and at times this became difficult with a 10- mile difference between campuses. January 20, 1975 students entered the halls of Tippecanoe Valley High School to attend their first classes of the second semester. After over a dec- ade of indecision and then construc- tion, we were finally in the consoli- dated building that was ours to grow, learn, and experience in. And it was “only the beginning.” The editors, staff, and I would like to express our appreciation to the pa- trons and companies that helped to produce the first yearbook. Their fi- nancial support was greatly needed. Thank you to Cox Studio and Terry Klondaris for their efforts and to In- ter-Collegiate Press, Inc. for printing the Saga. As our representative, Mr. Myron Busby was dedicated to help ing and reassuring the staff during dif- ficult times. Mrs. Nancy Yeiter, as ad- visor for the Saga, had to make the biggest decisions concerning the edi- tors, staff, and their functions as one. For her long hours of work and pa- tience with me and for the time she spent in helping to combine the staff, a special thank you. This is what the first year of TVHS was all about. We learned to work together to make thi important year memorable and thoug we made mistakes, we also made prog ress, and it was “only the beginning.” Nancy Ettinger Co-ordinating Editc 144 7 nr it - - •
