With the older students seeking and finding familiar places of rest, an almost audible sigh was heard from the desks and chairs, content at being occupied again after the emptiness of the summer. k.

As usual, we shall uphold you, but you must not let us down either. This year let’s study hard and make the most of what is offered. Let’s shop around and participate in the various activities, which further our interests and will help us to get along with other people. Don’t forget! We’re always here for you, as changeless and steadfast as ever.” To the frightened newcomers, these tried and worn friends seemed caressingly to say, Don't be afraid, little Freshmen. Soon you also will feel at home here. Make friends with your new classmates and teachers who want to know you and help you. Take advantage of that—but always remember to be the best that you con. Come on, now, perk up! The sun- shine will wait for you; there are many days of sunshine waiting for you. Go along now, and see the rest of your school, which is so eagerly waiting you.” Page 3 School Life There are many phases to a student’s life in school. The first one that comes to mind is the scholastic phase. However, a person- ality that has only a one-sided emphasis is certainly not complete. To overcome this and to strive for well- balanced, healthy-minded, rounded out per- sonalities, the school offered training in all phases of auditorium work, in art work and the art of planning a wardrobe, a home. Students were taught the value of safety in the home and safety on the streets. Boys, and girls, too, found a new hobby in the plas- tics classes. Many mothers and girl friends wore, in the form of lockets and earrings, the results of this craft. Along with the various activities, dances were given, conferences attended, libraries investigated, and etc. Talking of libraries brings us back to the scholastic phase, academic or commercial; and so we go around again in the same circle, which is fitting and proper for school life and social life.

The park with its baseball games and other eyening and summer activi- ties provided many enjoyable hours for the entire family. Night school classes at the school offered oppor- tunities in the form of academic sub- jects, drivers’ training, sewing, and the shops. Each one in the school and com- munity was able to benefit by all this, for school and community are an in- tegral part of each other. u n i t Oh, what a beautiful Christmas Tree!” Although the school is important, it is no more important than the com- munity which it represents. The com- munity indicates its interest in the school by such things as P. T. A. groups and attendance at various school functions. Also since each student lives in the community, he must find many of his interests right there. The merchants of the commun- ity, the eateries, the bowling alley, the movie, are all important interests. The merchants of the Tolleston community added to the festivities of the holiday season by erecting a gigan- tic Christmas tree. Students and par- ents both came from all parts of the community to bask in the glory of the tree and to listen to the Christmas carols. The Sportsmen’s Club bowling alley served both as a place for recreation and a place for lunches. Students bowled and also were hired to work there. At last—a'Five and Ten’ in Tolleston!” Our stadium—the home of Tolleston’s football games. v-h Administration Assistant Principal, Henry A. Rowland Principal, J. V.

Luckey Emery Badanish Students fortunate enough to have occupied the new building found that even by the end of the year, the thrill had not yet worn off. In- stituted were many new study aids such as indirect lighting and green blackboards”, which were very restful to the eyes. As fur- ther aids to good study habits were found new and more comfortable desks, yards of bulletin boards, and sound proof rooms. In the spring the teachers noticed the at- tention of their students wandering; for, with a slight turn of the head, the students were able to gaze out at the wide open spaces” visible from the many windows making up one complete wall. ide, light green corridors, lined with new lockers and designed to make traveling in the hall safer, completed the innovations found so pleasing to student, teacher, and principal. A sight not very often viewed by most of the school personnel was the beauty of the buil- ding in the silence and dark of evening. Only to those attending night school or to those coming back at night to work on special pro- jects, like the annual or dramatics, was the majesty of the school itself noticeable. The empty corridors, devoid now of the clamor and turmoil ot the students, seemed to assert its own personality—but seemed, also, only to be taking a respite before the onrush of the morning and the invasion of the student body. DRAMATICS Evelyn Jones Mitchell Gerbick MATHEMATICS Edmon Goforth Virginia Comeford HISTORY . George Crane Anna Marsh Gharles Wise COMMERCE Wanda Stevens L. Corinne Resetar An important factor in our daily lives, our teachers have helped to cultivate our minds and mold our lives. Day after day, despite the fact that all things did not run smoothly, the faculty carried out their tasks tire- lessly and efficiently. These tasks, preparation of assignments, recita- tions, tests, papers, and reports, were endless and often thankless; but they were done. Besides keeping abreast with new methods in teaching the fundamental subjects, our teachers were constantly alert to modern knowledge of sewing, cooking, art, the shops, music, and dramatics, which would teach a student the means of helping himself in school and in his future. Offering, gratis, their leisure time, many of the teachers sponsored clubs and directed extra-curricular activities. They returned evenings to guide the dances and pitched right in on all the hard work. Setting outstanding examples for the students, our teachers were the foundation for everything fine and good for Tolleston High School. MILITAR Y SCIENCE Sgt. Cecil Johnson Sgt.

Coble WELFARE DIRECTOR Ida Magioudis NURSE Gladys McCrosky With the help of our competent office and wel fare staff, our little red school house” was kept in shining order. Mrs. Ida Magioudis, our welfare worker, had her hands full as the shep- herdess who looked after the black sheep and kept them in line—finding them no matter where they went. Equally as occupied was Mrs. Gladys McCros- ky, who examined scratches, looked down throats, took temperatures, and gave tuberculosis patch tests in an effort to keep up the health of the students. Miss Joan Kish and Miss Bette Bean were assigned to the tedious tasks of taking care of lockers, enrollment, and requisitions while to Miss Elaine Bartkowski and Mrs. Dorothy Gas- ki were given the duties of making out the pro- grams for the boys and girls and keeping records of all school financial matters, no small job in itself.

The Advisory Council, a group of mothers with students enrolled at Toll- eston School, met on the third of every month. At their meetings were taken up problems and ways and means in which this particular group of the com- munity could be of service to the school. One of the services generously con- tributed by the Advisory Council was a gift for each graduating student. These gifts of pen and pencil sets were both useful and served as remin- ders of the generosity and personal interest of the Advisory Council.

Association was to acquaint the community with the school and the school with the community. Then the group met on the second Wednes- day of every month, the members heard talks on school curriculum, guidance, and student problems given by various teachers, and dis- cussed various other problems linking together the school and the home. One of the major problems under- taken was the Civilian Defense pro- gram; one of the first steps taken was first aid instruction for parents and teachers. Keeping abreast with the times and working with the school as a closely knit unit, made the P.T.A. a credit to the Tolleston community.

Social Club and G. A. A. wer new and exciting ventures. So we were sophomores, braver aixi more at ease. Conjugations almost defeated us, but the language clubs were interesting and inviting. Our junior year came and went while we were still speaking of it. The term topics were trying and tedious, but they were offset by wonderful dreams of a first prom. Now, suddenly, we’re adult and graduated and must leave. Can one say goodbye to a tried and trusted friend? That s what Tolleston has been to us. Although our mouths may shape the words “goodbye,” our hearts shall remember. “Wty aren’t you girls in the fire drill?” “Another nickel please — the music ha played out on us!” Page 51 Pioneer EDITOR, Eugene Kelly; CO-EDITOR, Janeta Tilliams SPONSOR, Mrs. A.

They toyed with ideas for a theme for the book. They struggled to find original layouts for the pictures and the pages and the copy and the hundred and one other things important in making up a year book. One of the hundred problems was the financial one. Pioneer orders were hungrily accepted. Like the ven- dors at circuses, Pioneer staff members daily at lunch time and after school hawked their wares of candy, popcorn, and potato chips. To pad the treasury a little more, members found themselves soliciting or- ders for sweat shins, salt water taffy, and Christmas pine cones. A source of revenue which proved popular with the student body was the dance held after each home football game. BUSINESS MANAGERS After ten months of strenuous labor, of complete mental and physical exhaustion, the members of the Pioneer staff once more brought forth the Pioneer, which in spite of everything—now that it was com- pleted—seemed well worth all the anguish.

Their primary aim was to make available the school news- paper every two weeks. This was a tremendous task, for the news had to be gathered, had to be written in an informative and interesting manner, typed, and, finally, mimeographed and stapled together to form a paper. With a minimum of time in which to accomplish this work, the staff had to sacrifice many hours of personal use for after school work. Bi-monthly each member of the staff came into the various home rooms at 2:30 to sell the paper. It was found that this method of coming directly to the consumer increased sales, and, in turn, abolished the old system of selling the paper between the girls’ and boys’ gyms during lunch hour. A high school newspaper is an essential part of a school. In imparting the news of the school, the students, and the community, the Tolly Times” fulfilled that importance of a school newspaper and the fact that it is, indeed, an integral part of Tolleston School.

Say—I think we’re lost!’’ November 18, 1950, marked a big day for the Tolleston band which found itself in Bloomington, Indiana, on that day. The Tolleston band was one of a hundred fourteen bands from Indiana, which had been invited to play at Indiana University during the half of the Indiana-Marquette game. Among some of the other events calling for the band’s participation were the Loyalty Day Parade, spon- sored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, military science reviews and inspec- tions, baccalaureate services, com- mencement exercises, and of course, die band concert. The Spring Band Concert,’’ an annual event, was, as usual looked forward to and practiced for all year, and, as usual, greatly enjoyed by the audience. Musicians—hard at work!

Page 63 Mixed Chorus A group of high school students enjoying singing made up the Mixed Chorus. They were called upon to share their liking with others in the school and the community. At Christmas time the chorus provided a background of beau tiful music for the pageant. In their own program in the school auditorium, they entertained the audience with many of the well-loved, well-known favorites. « In what has become a popular tradition and a fitting climax to a profitable year, the members of the Mixed Chorus and their director. Miss Charlotte Domroese, lent their voices to the Band Concert and furthered the enjoyment of this antici- pated event. The entertainment committee----------entertaining!

Weekly on Tuesdays at 2:40, the sound of masculine voices could be heard resounding through the lower hall. This sound of song emanated from the music room where the Boys’ Glee Club met. Consisting of thirty mem- bers, the club was organized by its director, Miss Charlotte Domroese, two years ago. Al- though the boys had not par- ticipated in many activities this year, they were success- ful in bringing to themselves and the Tolleston students enjoyment and appreciation of song.

Jones’ 9:30 dramatics class heralded the coming of the season with the play “Spring Green.’’ With spring fever the prevailing mood, the cast gave a most authentic and inspiring perfor- ance. Page 68 Young man, we’ve had enough of your nonsense. It didn’t happen like this at rehearsals. Heroes Limited Heroes Limited’’, a de- lightful comedy, was the pre- miere performance opening the Tolleston theatre season. The play dealt with a con- fidence man who posed as a relative to a household left in the care of the children. Luckily, the oldest son was taking a detective’s course and was able, with overwhel- ming glory, to uncover the plan of the thief. Don’t move and do exactly as I showed you. Page 69 Nine Girls A chiller-dillcr which lets the audience in early on the high crime suspect—keeping it a few paces ahead of the criminal, happy with its guilty secret. The play moves with such an accelerated pace there is no room for gloom to blot out the excitement of its thril- ling act.” A carnival of feminine fury and fun! When not concerned with murders, it is a frolic- some comedy—demonstrating again that the female of the species is more deadly than the male—nine times more!” There’s no backing out. You’ll just have to suffer with the rest of us.” Take a letter, secretaries.” Page 70 Let me at her, I’ll teach her to pull a double cross.” Don’t forget to get in the plug about the PIONEER on this Pepsi-Pep program. No, no, we’re not on that page of the script. We’re right here, on this one.’’ Participation in the Pepsi-Pep Club, a half- hour radio program on Gary’s own W.W.C.A., was the main function of the Radio Class. The Tolleston group, appearing periodically with the other teen-age high school groups, chose to present radio drama on their programs. All members in the class shared in writing the skits, preparing the music and sound effects, and taking active, speaking parts in the broad- cast. Skits for the broadcast incorporated the latest school news and announcements and recordings of the day voted the most popular by the student body. That’s it!’’ Your’re doing fine. Give it everything you’ve got!’’ High school boys and girls who enrolled in the Radio Class, which was organized by Mr. Mitchell Gerbick, found the class to be of inval- uable assistance to them, especially to those who were interested in either the mechanics or dramatics of radio and television as a career.

On with the toga! Students taking Latin have watched the ancient language, its cultural and political beliefs, come to life through the medium of the Latin Club and it’s sponsor, Mrs. Mary Jeffries. In so far as possible, the Latin Club members adhered to the principles and customs of the Romans. For example, a Roman banquet was held. The mighty Caesar—president of the Latin Club—reigned over the feast. Various courses of the meal and entertainment were supplied by toga-clad slaves—first year club members. Because Mrs. Jeffries sponsors both the Latin and Spanish Clubs, both org- anizations united for a spring picnic at Marquette Park. After the usual picnic fare of hot-dogs and trimmings, Spanish and Latin songs were sung and games were played. The congenial manner in which these two different tongues got along proved, among other things, that people ca.i live side by side if they so desire.

The Student Council, made up of the director, Mr. Edmon Goforth, and eigh- teen students—one from each home room and four held over from last year—met every Tuesday and Thursday during the home room hour. The activities of the Council were many and branched out to include all of the students. Some of the projects promoted by the group were: landscaping the parking lot, printing and selling programs for the football games, and supplying colored gelatins for a more romantic atmosphere for the dances held in the gym. This sign is all right. Let’s O.K. it.” Sponsors, Mr. F.dmon Goforth and Mrs. Marcia Owings What a mob—what fun! Besides being a constant factor in the daily school lives of the students, the Student Council had also undertaken to direct an extra-curricular activity. They were the sole sponsors and di- rectors of the popular Social Club. The Social Club met weekly every Tuesday evening and was open to any Tolleston High School student buying a season ticket. Here, on Tuesday evenings, boys and girls congregated to visit one another, to dance to out- standing dance bands, to learn or prac- tice the social niceties, and in general, to enjoy themselves in a most whole- some fashion.

Girls’ Club If a junior or senior girl were seen in the hall showing off some exotic hair-do, it was very likely because she had been inspired by the hair stylist who had spoken and demon- strated to the Girls’ Club. Through the club the girls have been able to receive aid in the vital problems of how to dress correctly, how to be popular, how to wear one’s hair, and many other such matters important to high school girls. Other activities sponsored by the members were a dance and their an- nual spaghetti dinner. Both activities were important parts of the practical side of the year’s discussions on how to do and act. Thus practicality as w-ell as theory was carried out by the girls and their sponsor. Miss Julia Baran, of the Girls’ Club. ’’Slippery, isn’t it?” Miss Julia Baran, Sponsor.

OFFICERS Phyllis England, President Linda Wanthal, Vice-President Lawrence Marino, Secretary-Treasurer Miss Olive Leskow, Sponsor The Shuttersnappers’, which is the Camera Club, was made up of thirteen members, meet- ing once a week, under the tutelage of Miss Olive Leskow. Many members of the club participated in many worthwhile projects. They entered sev- eral photography contests and walked away with high honors. In turn, the club members sponsored several contests to inspire young students to be camera conscious. Dealing primarily with the idea of acquaint- ing the members with the mechanics of a cam- era, the Shuttersnappers Club proved beneficial to hobbyist and potential photographer alike.

D. M. S. T., the largest organi- zation in Tolleston for high school boys, reflected the interest that Toll- eston boys have in raising the stan- dards of their community. The organi- zation taught the boys the arts needed in defending our country and taught them, too, the methods of good leader- ship and good citizenship. Once again the highest honor was awarded to the Tolleston D. M. S. and T. Any boy with a rank of captain or higher was given an opportunity to take an examination which would qual- ify him for the rank of regimental com- mander. As a result of this examina- tion, Krist Diamond was appointed regimental commander of all the Gary high schools.

This extra-curricvlar activity offered all forms of supervised athletics for girls. Under the direction of Mrs. Esther Kay, the organization developed into the largest one at Tolleston. Having approximately 250 members, the G. A. A. was able to carry out many worthwhile pro- jects. The spring season brought the traditional Volleyball Dance” and the senior boy-girl volleyball game™a must’’ on every student’s social calendar. By athletic events, social events, and co- operation with others, the girls were given first-hand understanding of the meaning of fair play and sportsmanship and concern for others. Page 89 G.A.A.

Behind our team, win or lose, were our indefatigible cheerleaders. To be a cheerleader one must be versatile and energetic. Because this type of girl may be found in any class, all high school girls were given an equal opportunity to try out for the cheerleading squad. Competition was keen but was finally narrowed down to the most willing and conscientious contenders. Winter winds blow, but they cheer on! Long live the Queen of Basketball, Barbara Guba, surrounded by her attendants, the cheerleaders! 1° enable them to have their snappy, new blue and white uniforms, the girls gave the Bas- ket Ball in honor of the basketball team. The climax of the evening was the crowning of the Queen of Basketball Perhaps the most difficult task of cheerleading is that the cheerleaders must themselves keep up their spirits. Their elation and spontaniety acts as the fuse which sets off a similar reaction among the spectators which, in turn, finds its way to the team. That the present squad of girls was unusually successful was evidenced by the large attendance at pep meetings and by the daily awareness of athletic contests and scores.

In top physical condition and ready to get at the rugged program, the Raiders were confident of a successful year. A 21-6 win was chalked up against the first opponent, Rennsalaer. In the next contest, against Emerson, the Raiders suffered a heart-breaking 20-0 loss, but they proved them- selves a tough team to defeat. Against the Roosevelt Panthers, the Raiders turned in a 6-6 tie and were the only ones to mar the Pan- thers’ record.

This was neither a victory nor a defeat, for the outcome was a scoreless tie. In succeeding contests away from home, the Raiders scored a 9-0 win over Hammond Clark, a 20-6 loss to Marinette, Wisconsin; and a 25-6 loss to Washington, Fast Chicago. Jimmy Mazieka Setting up three game conference victories, the Tolleston Blue Raid- ers, who were anything but blue this season, wound up their most success- ful season in four years. ■ X-Country Cross country, a two mile run, was compulsory for the boy wishing to play basketball. This practice kept the athletes in constant train- ing. Although Tolleston defeated only Froebel and lost to Emerson, Val- paraiso, Horace Mann, Hobart, Chesterton, and Lew Wallace, they offered placers in all competition. To close the cross country sea- son, members of the squad were given awards. Three trophies and nine letters were presented to the Tolleston squad.

As sometimes happens to schools and teams, the Tolleston Raiders” suffered an off year of basketball. The Raiders won only three of their eighteen starts, winning 40 to 36 against Hammond Clark, 43 to 36 against Whiting, and 53 to 32 against Rennsalaer. Some of the other games played resulted in rather close scores. Tolleston lost to Wirt 49 to 46 and to Valparaiso by a score of 44 to 42.

Jimmy Mazieka I Page 103 So the freshmen investigated and were no longer frightened. They were now- friends with classmates, teachers, and school. The sophomores were now thor- oughly at ease and expectantly savouring the excitement of being juniors. In turn, the juniors had worked hard in their class- es, had joined publications, dramatics, music, athletics, or other groups and were now- ready to reign supreme as seniors and count the days until graduation. Graduation—yes, what a significant word for the seniors. They had come, they had seen, and they had conquered, finding themselves confronted now by a new world. Somehow, however, it was the old, familiar world which held their atten- tion. Days were filled with nostalgia, and, as they parted with classmates and teachers, they lingered to pat a desk, to open, just once more, a locker, divest now of their autumn finery and drooping and disconsolate at the thought of those leav- ing and of the emptiness ahead. As the students left their building, the doors sadly folded together after them, shutting in the hushed loneliness. Goodbye, goodbye, they seemed to whisper. Have a nice summer and good luck, but please don’t forget us, don’t forget Tolleston your little red school house.
