in Warrens World Between September and June, Warrenites were participants or spectators at quite a list of events. While we elected our queens, the nation elected a president. We were presenting “The Sound of Music” with a cast and crew of 150, while other events were changing the world. In the meantime, we somehow completed the 1965 Wigwam. President Lyndon Johnson won a landslide victory over Barry Goldwater and carried with him every major state office in Indiana. Meanwhile, national leaders elsewhere made their exit. Russia’s Premier Khrushchev, whose temper tantrums had become fam- iliar, was mysteriously replaced by the unfamiliar team of Brezhnev and Kosygen. England’s wartime statesman, Sir Winston Churchill, called by many “the man of the century,” was buried in January. As Warren ' s year progressed, the spacecraft Mar- iner III, launched in November, moved closer to destination Mars and a July landing; and Ranger 8 hit the moon. Meanwhile, in Indianapolis, less space- age complications occurred. The blizzards came like clock-work and caused postponement of both the sec- tional and county tournaments. While we dug our- selves out of these paralyzing snows, the rest of the nation worried over repeated crisis in Viet Nam. “What am I bid for this piece of arf?” Bob Hill auctions one of 500 pictures from the publications depa tment at Ihe Spring Shuffle. Paul Jones and Stan Taylor, both seniors, sign up for the “draft.” All boys are required by a federal law to register for the selective service within five days of their eighteenth birthday. During the school year they can register in the main office.

Band members devote much time to practice. Larry Bartel, Dan Meggenhofen, and Jack Daniels joined other band members in August to begin practice for the 1965 Marching Wa riors. Always Shows , Working , Whooping It Up Principal Edward Cuddy speaks to the student body at the spring awards convocation. This annual convo honors students who have excelled in certain areas. Spirit? We’ve got it! We yell it from the rafters at a basketball game. We blare it from a trumpet in a stifling band uniform. We tackle an opponent with it on the football field. We sweep debris with it when a lire comes along. We pedal a bicycle with it at the Teeny Weeny 500. We sing it out in the spring musical. We let it swing at a sock hop. In general, we let this Warrior spirit show in everything we do! It all doesn’t come easily though. To a cheerleader, the image of spirit, it means six hours of practice a week. To a speech team member, it means getting on the bus at five o’clock Saturday morning. Spirit is what keeps an athlete fighting against hopeless odds. It’s what makes a band member practice in the August sun for the coming football season. It’s what extends the hand of friendship to our foreign student. It’s what carries a cross-country runner across the finish of a two-mile stretch. It’s what makes us want to solve our nation’s social problems in class discussions. Perhaps a little too much of it, makes us let the referee know we don’t agree with him. It’s what raises us to our feet at the sound of “Rah, Rah for Warren.’’ Spirit? We’ve got it and it’s great. 15
