Down from the door where it began, Now far ahead the road has gone, And I must follow if I can. Pursuing it with eager feet Until it joins some larger way, where many paths and errands meet and whither then? I cannot say. 8 It snowed! 11 Homecoming week is The week leading up to our October 14th homecoming buzzed with excite- ment. Various clubs and classes spent hours building their floats, hoping theirs would win. Dress Up Days were fun and everyone got fired up at the bonfire. The night of homecoming proved well worth the wait. A thrilling football game with a fantastic half- time show and the homecoming dance wrapped up the week. 1. Some of our Warriors discussed the next play. 2. Kay Kirkpatrick showed her spirit on Dress Up Day.” 3. The Senior class float. The Ten Commandments, parted the Red Sea. 12 filled with excitement. 13 The anticipation grows for the King and Queen candidates. Friday night brought a finale to the excitement and anticipation of homecoming week. The half- time show was highlighted by the coronation of a new King and Queen. As the band played, Bryan Smith and Diana Lozano were named '17 Home- coming King and Queen with Kelly Hamman and Stan Kroh as runners-up. 1.

Pam Custer took some time out to check out the pro- gram. 3. The singing waiters: Greg Reed, Todd Brunner, Kurt Allen, and Scot Kar Jack sang the title song with Dolly. Once again the Drama and Music Departments came through with two successful plays. The fall play was “Don't Drink the Water, and the spring musical was “Hello Dolly.” Both plays were very difficult, but with many months of hard work and dedi- cation the Drama Club and Music members pulled off two great shows. 17 It's convocation time! The 1977-78 convocations pro- vided unusual and interesting entertainment. Dan Kuchinski and Sue Gillespie demonstrated the art of horseshoe tossing combined with gymnastics. The Fall Fling was a convocation where everyone par- ticipated. Obstacle courses, marsh- mallow stuffing contests, tug of war, and sack races were some of the events. It was a day of chal- lenge between the classes, and the seniors came out the winners. Other convocations were the WHS Talent Show, gymnast Wally Kann, a musical group from Vincennes, and a convo on the Energy Crisis. 19 Paris comes to the senior prom. “Midnight in Paris” served as the theme for the ’78 senior prom. Seniors and their guests danced to music by South Shore. Seniors had to raise extra money in order to book the band. In a combined effort the money was raised. With the help and cooperation of sponsors and students, the gym was decorated beautifully in scenes of Paris. 20 1. Lee Penn signed in at the door. 2. Junior servers said, “We serve it your way. 3. Stan Kroh looked on. 4. Seniors showed off their dancing abilities. 5. K. Trobaugh and his date seemed a little tired by all their dancing. 6. Seniors enjoyed table service. 21 As we wind on down the road, we learn to be a rock and not to roll. May 21 marked the end and also a new beginning for the Wawasee graduating class of 1978. Family and friends gathered in the gym for the commencement exercises in which 206 seniors received their diplomas. The class motto chosen was “As we wind on down the road,we learn to be a rock and not to roll, and the class colors were blue and silver. The procession of graduates was led by jun- iors Jackie Glon and Scott Arnold. 1 Mark Eisfelder and Dave Ensinger walked out of the gym as graduated men.” 2. Mr Fawley played the organ for the commencement exercises. 3. The long awaited moment finally came for John Beer to receive his diploma. 22 1. The graduating class turned their tassels. 2. Mr. Smith prepared to hand out the next diploma while Scott Arnold handed a rose to Judy Fouts. 3. Graduates had a few solemn moments. 4. Ed Clayton accepted his diploma from Mr Smith with a happy grin. 23 24 25 Seniors visit Washington through rain and shine 1. The Lincoln Memorial. 2.

Seniors I paused lo take a picture while Jeff Fall was showing off. 3. Arlington National Cemetery One hundred and twenty-six seniors went on two differ- ent trips to Washington D.C. The first group went on Octo- ber 25, and the second group left on the 26th. These sen- iors will never forget the fun they had and the beautiful sights they saw. Everyone had a good time and the only letdown was the rain that came on the second trip. 27 Seniors plan for a busy year. 1. Shelley Dahlstrom was caught with her feet propped up. 2. Kathy Iden helped Alex Feliciano, exchange stu- dent from Brazil, with his studies. 3. Deb Gerke told Diana Lozano how things worked in office lab. 28 The Senior class didn’t care about anything when the year began; they just sat back and relaxed. As the year prog ressed, many seniors dis- cussed college plans and decided to get busy and study. Many seniors looked forward to planning and attending the prom and grad uation exercises. The student council had a lot to do with the organization of both activi- ties. They talked to different seniors and got opinions about how the students wanted those activities plan- ned and then did their best to get things done. 1.

Teresa Carpenter practiced her reading while working on the class float. 47 48 49 50 Our last year was a busy year for most of us, but it was also the most fun. Differ- ent things happened during the year which will never be forgotten, especially The Blizzard of '78 which dumped eight- een inches of snow on the ground and kept us out of school for seven days. Then there was the coal miners strike which affected the lighting and heating of the school. Despite all the problems, we made it through the year in one piece and had a terrific time. 1- Phil Stichter and Teresa Carpenter studied together, and it wasn't because they needed each other's help. 2. Jim Glon and Mr. Lambert discussed the plans for phys. ed. 3. Terry and Dave Richards relaxed m homeroom. 51 1 Ann Stucky gave that sweet and innocent look. 2. Stuart Bryant chowed down. 3. Kim Calobrace gave a disgusted look to the crowd. 4 Kent Trobaugh got caught eating something during HIT. 52 IN MEMORIAM DAVID PAUL OWENS 55 The '77-'78 WHS administration paves the way for another successful year! 1. School board members were, seated: John Kroh, Bill Little, and Floyd Baker; stand- ing: Phillip Payne, James Fry, and Superintendent Don Arnold. Not pictured was Busi ness Manager Marion Lantz. 2. Athletic Director Carl Meditch, B.A. Depauw, M.A. State Univ. of Iowa, could often be found talking on the phone. 3. Our Warrior chief was Henry Smith, B.S. Indiana State, M.A. Ball State. 56 The Wawass High School administration worked hard to make our school run smoothly and effectively. The school board met regularly at the administration building to discuss important matters. Two of the major issues this year were the new addi- tion to the high school and the energy cri- sis. 1. Mr. Smith seemed to be making his point clear. 2. Stanley Grabowicz, Dean of Students, 8.A. St. Francis, M.A. Notre Dame, conversed with Traci Strieby. 3. The vice principal was Donn Kesler, B.S. Manchester, M S. Indiana University. 4 David McGrew, Vocational Edu- cation Director. B.S. Indiana State, M S. Indiana Uni versity, pointed out the facts to Rodney Chiddister and Andy Stevens. 57 The L.R.C. proves to be a valuable aid to students. Our library couldn't be beat for providing articles, newspapers, magazines, and tons of books from which to chose. Students and teachers alike reaped the benefits of the L.R.C. 1. Mike Troyer sure didn't look like he was studying! 2. The head librarian was Mary Whiteman, A.B., M.L.S. Indiana University. Library Aids were Janet Allen and Margaret Reider. 3. Sonya Hoover and Worth Packer worked in the L.R.C. during their H I T. period. 4. Many people, such as Kevin Shrock, came into the library to read the magazines. 58 Guidance services and first aid are readily available throughout the year. The guidance department did a fantas- tic job, as usual, this past year. The counselors assisted students with sched ules, college plans and other problems. Our nurse, Mary Robertson, took care of physicals and those little “aches and pains” that kids often had. 1. Sophomore counse lor, Eunice Kambs, BA., MS. Indiana State, assisted Mike Miller with his sched ule. 2. Brenda Sim mons and Martha Baumle glanced through books for much needed college information. 3. Mary Robertson was the school nurse. 4. Jack Marlette, B.A Kalama zoo, M A Michigan State, and Maxine Rob inson, B.S., M S. Ball State, conversed with a wistful-looking Achim Eckhardt. 59 Wawasee's super secretaries get the job done! Where would we be without our school sec- retaries? The secretaries helped out in the main office in more ways than just typing and answer- ing the telephone. WHS would have had a hard time functioning without these wonderful ladies! 60 1 Mrs Rider took care of the work in the guidance office. 2. The secretaries were, left to right: Dana Arthur, Esther Rider. Sally Baker, Betty Haines, Janet Elam, and Janet Hamman. Not pictured were Ruth Angle and Jane Gorsuch. 3. Mrs. Hamman diligently typed away. 4 Mrs. Haines was caught running off copies. Audio visual materials add a great deal to the learning process. 1. The A.V. supervisor was David Jones. B.A Franklin College. M S. Indiana University. 2. One of Mr. Jones' jobs was getting the films ready for the classroom. 3. Mr. Jones often worked with the film inspector. The A.V. Department helped meet the educational needs of everyone in the school. Interesting movies and tapes were pro- vided for teachers and students. Mr. Jones efficiently kept the A.V. materials in check. 61 1. Looks like Phyllis Metzger was cooking up something good. 2. Alice Miller got ready for the breakfast crowd. 3. Cooks, left to right were: Lois Murray, Lois Koher, Phyllis Metzger, Pauline Firestone, Marilyn Grmdle, Burt Rhoades, Mildred Coy. Not pic- tured were Vivian Kern and Diane Shock. 62 The Cooks and Custodians work hard behind the scenes. The Custodial Staff and Cooks may have worked behind the scenes, but they cer- tainly kept the school in spotless condition, and kept the kids happy with a good hot lunch. 1. Custodians were, standing: Elner Van Pelt, Roy Stif- fler, Don Nine; seated: Vivian Kern, Ed Green, Orris Flannery. 2. Vivian Kern was caught in the act! 3. Let- tuce, lettuce, lettuce! 63 1 Judy Ferverda showed her freshman speech class how to latchhook. 2. Sheryl Coquillard pointed out the ' do's and dont's” in her speech. 3. The sophomores had nine weeks of developmental reading. The shadowscope was used frequently by students like Carla Darr. 4. Lori Klemknight and Linda Glassley had to read A Farewell to Arms, as did all Juniors who were enrolled in College Prep English. Language Arts was a basic course for Wawasee students. It helped the student convey his ideas better in school and in everyday life. This course was required for students in grades nine, ten, and eleven. Language Arts did not consist of just the usual grammar and theme writ- ing. Freshmen and sophomores entered into a different area of study every nine weeks. College- bound juniors and seniors were able to select College Prepara- tory English. Interesting and var- ied mini-courses were available to students who didn’t plan to attend college. 64 Language Arts gives us a base to build on. The English Department teachers were, row 1: Roberta Powers, B.A., M.A. Ball State, Terry Iden, B.S., M.A. Ball State. Max Ellen Smith, B.S., M.A. Ball State, Linda Harkleroad, B.A. Wittenberg, M.A. Notre Dame Univ., Linda Kehoe, B.A., M.A. Ball State; row 2: Norma Rush, B.A. Manchester, Joel Robbins, B.A. Ball State, M S. Purdue, Alan Zerkel, B.S. Man Chester, M S. Purdue, Phillip Faw ley, B.S. Manchester, M.A. Ball State, Judy Zile, B.A. Manchester, M.A. St. Francis. 2. Jan Grindle concentrated carefully on her work. 3. You never could predict the antics of Mrs. Smith! 65 The Science Department at WHS had a wide variety of courses to keep students busy. The learning process involved labs, hypothesizing, theorizing, and, of course, much dreaded testing. When the chemists weren’t doing something to blow up the school, the physiologists were getting totally disgusted by the pig dissection. Water Studies enabled students to learn more about our envi- ronment. Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences were very beneficial to many students. Also teaching in the sci- ence department, but not pictured, was Keith Bowman, B.S.F., M.F. University of Michigan. 1. Jim Hill and Steve Keim were discovering a few of the hidden secrets in Biology. 2. Paul Royer, A.B. Manchester, M.A. Ball State, received a smackeroo from Janet Wall. 3. Jim Glon was an expert surgeon in human physiology. 4. Bill Kitson, B.S. Man Chester, M.A. Ball State, was hard at work. 66 Science helps us learn about our surroundings. 1. Karl Keiper, B.S. Manchester, M S. Notre Dame, enjoyed teasing Kathie Yoder. 2. Laura Kroh was dis tracted from her investigation by a wandering photographer. 3. From the looks of things here, someone liked giving Pamela Juday, B.S. Michigan State, a tough time. 4. Mark Walgamuth and Brent Stutzman clowned around in physics with Robert Kitson, B.S. Manchester, M.A. Ball State. 67 Mathematics presented a never ending chal- lenge to students. One could walk down the halls and peek in on math classes. The geometry stu- dents learned many axioms and theorems and labored over endless proofs. Kids enrolled in some sort of Algebra course were often found to be racking their brains for solutions to different kinds of equations. By solving these problems, students often prepared themselves to tackle some of the later problems in life. Besides Alge- bra and Geometry, many other math courses were offered to suit the student’s needs. A few of these courses were Business Math, General Math, Basic Math, and Advanced Math. 1 1. Terry Frank, B.S. Ball State, M.S. Univ. of Mexico, looked on as Daryl Gans and Darrell Stahley found the answers on modern machines. 2. Ted Mahnensmith, B.S., M.S. Manchester, pointed out the fundamentals of Algebra. 3. The freshmen showed varied expressions as they sat through a typical day in math. 4. Daryl Umbower, B.A. Grace College, M.S. St. Francis, must have been thinking about something other than geometry. 68 5 (x + y) + 1 3 V2i + (3x10)6 = huh?! 1. Jim Webster, B.A. Grace, M S. Purdue, just laughed as Angie Reed tried to do a proof. 2. Debbie Bartow must have scored high on her Algebra I test! 3. Keith Bowman, B.S.F., M.F. University of Michigan, apparently didn't know that throwing paper airplanes was a no-no. 4. Michael Neff, B.S., M S. Purdue, flashed a smile. Social Science tracks down the past, explores the presnet, and ponders the future. The Social Science department focused on man and his contributions through time. Juniors learned about our country through U.S. History. Seniors took Ameri- can Political Behavior. Also offered were World History courses. Psychology and Sociology were open to stu- dents who wanted to learn more about our society. 1. Hal Traviolia, B.A Wabash. M.A. Ball State, assisted a curious stu- dent. 2. Vernon Zurcher, B.S. Huntington College, M.A. Ball State, often made U.S. History more vivid by dressing up as a historic per son. Here he portrayed Karl Marx. 3. A group of seniors assembled their materials for class. 4. Ron Corson, B.A. Manchester, M.A. Ball State, had tons of papers to grade. 70 1. Tony Clouse, M S. I.U.. B.S. Manchester, taught United States History. 2. Carmen Bryant. Melissa Tom, and Kelli Price worked together. 3. Dave Stewart, Rick McKibben, Stuart Bryant, and Judy Pouts worked hard in government. 4. Terry Iden, B.S., M.A. Ball State, cracked a smile for the photographer. 71 1 “Come on kids, you could do it! 2. Mrs. Rush’s class listened attentively. 3. Stanley Grabowicz. B A St. Francis, M A Notre Dame, was about to go over the day s French lesson. 72 Foreign Language helps us look beyond ourselves. The Foreign Language department had three courses for students to chose from. Spanish, French and Latin were offered. After basic skills were learned, students went on to learn literature and the culture of foreign lands. 1. Unda Kehoe, B.A.. M.A. Ball State, taught her students how to tell time in Spanish. 2. Students worked at their Latin. 3. Norma Rush, B.A. Manchester, was caught by surprise. 1 Kevin Reed played while Kim Wagoner turned the pages. 2 Mr. Blackwell showed his students how it was done. 3. The Cadet Band. 74 Wawasee band students play around. The bands entertained Wawasee patrons year round with football half time programs in the fall and concerts the rest of the year. A few of the songs played at their concerts were “Festivo and Gospel Rock Medley. A big hit for the Jazz Band was Theme from Rocky,” and Star Wars was proba- bly the most popular tune for the marching band. 75 1. David Blackwell, B.M.E., M S. I.U., was caught loafing. 2. The Concert Band. 1. The Wawasee Cadet Choir. 2. The Concert Choir. 3. Practice made perfect, right Gang? 76 The chorus sings a merry tune! The choirs were in two great concerts this year. At the Christmas concert, two of the favorites were “Oh Holy Night” and “Sleigh Ride.” Many of the choir students went to the state contest this year at Indian- apolis, bringing home a lot of firsts for Wawasee. A popular song for the annual Corporation Music Festival was I Believe in Music.” Also, a lot of the students were in the spring musical. the choirs. 77 The Strings have it! 1. Was that orchestra or choir you were practicing for, Tami? 2. Joanna Spear- man and Michelle Wake land concentrated on their music. 3. The Wawasee Orchestra. 78 Every year the Orchestra added new members and this year certainly was the best. This year’s Orchestra was the largest ever for Wawasee. They participated in three concerts. A few of their best songs were “Brian's Song and Didon Overture.” 1. Kathy Beer practiced diligently. 2. Cheer up, Josette, it couldn t have been that bad! 3. Ervin Orban, B.S. Western Michigan. M S. Ball State, went over his notes. 4 Teresa Carpenter waited for her part 79 80 Art brings out the best in each student. The Art department helped students to turn sim- ple materials into works of art. This year students had painting, drawing, and craft courses to choose from. The show cases usually displayed some of their work. All the students participated in the Art Show. 1. What happened to your scissors, Tammi? 2. Joy Warner, 8.F.A. Syracuse University of New York, M S. St. Francis, helped Shirley Wi- liams get started on her project. 3. Nancy Glon, I.U., was always there to lend students a helping hand. 4. Jenni Siri always had her hands in the clay. 81 Most students took some sort of busi- ness course during their high school years. It was almost a necessity for one to learn business skills to succeed in col- lege and certain future vocations. The importance of business know-how was becoming increasingly important every- day and Wawasee did a good job in meet- ing the demand for various business courses. Courses in bookkeeping, gen- eral business, office education, typing and shorthand were offered. Business teacher Elaine Hibschman resigned midway through the year and was replaced by Linda Hoy, B.S. Man- chester, M.A. Ball State, who was not pic- tured here. 1. Carol Read made some last minute changes on her showcase for sales and merchandising. 2. Lance Clark had to work with seemingly endless numbers of figures in General Business. 3. Jerry Minton, B.S., M.A. Ball State, prepared for his next class. 4. Sue Nulf increased her skill on the mimeoscope. 82 Students acquire necessary skills in business for future vocations. 1. Elaine Hibschman, B.A. Manchester, M.A. St. Francis, helped Jan Miller check for those little typing boo-boos. 2. Don Storey, B.S. Manchester, M.S. St. Francis, must have been happy about his students' test papers! 3. Eldon Ummel, B.S. Manchester, M.S. Ball State, unraveled a General Business problem for Deb bie Lechlitner. 4 Pat Huber, B.S., M.S. Indiana Univ.. looked over Jody Linville's work in office lab. 83 Students learn better living through Home Economics There were a wide variety of courses offered in the Home Economics department this year. Students learned cooking skills in basic Home Economics courses and how to sew their own clothes. Some of the other classes offered were Child Care, Singles Living and Interior Decorating. New to our school this year was Janet Bales, B.S. Purdue, who was not pictured here. 1. Terry Adams readied the secret ingredient. 2. Lori Lung was good at keeping things stirred up.’ Linda? 3. What was that guilty look 84 1. It took all three ot you to make . . . toast 2. Jan Baumgartner, B.S., M S. Ball State, taught her class about good nutrition. 3. Betty Arthur. B.S., M.A. Ball State, helped Serena Walker lay out her pattern. 4 Denise Bjella and Bonnie Niles practiced their cooking skills. Industrial Education students display their skill. 1 Tom Robinson, 23 years work experience, helped Mark Baumgartner and Doug Ruch fix a part of a motor. 2. It was amazing what a little varnish could do! 3. Jim Alford, B.S., M S. Ball State Univ., waited for a class response. 4. David Matz, B.S. Indiana State Univ., was always willing to help an inquiring individual. Industrial Education was the “super pro- ject department. Wawasee had fine facili- ties in the shop area to help the student uti- lize his skills and knowledge. Time was not always spent at the machines, or at sanding and varnishing. Classroom instruction was equally important and helped to round out Wawasee’s Industrial Arts program. 1. Phil Stichter was sawing away. 2. Rudy Cesco, B.A.. M.A Ball Stale, com mended Bob Sylvester on his proiect. 3. Lee Troyer, 21 years work experience, sure knew what to do with all those little gadgets! 4. George Vitamemi, B.S. Indiana State Univ..

Gary Shand, Brian Brandon, Lon White, and Jeff Smith were caught raising the roof! 3. Steve, what were you making in there? 4 Phil Beer concentrated on his drawing. Many students wanted to enter the working world immediately after high school. The Wawasee Vocational Department made this desire possible. Wawasee was fortunate to have some of the best facilities in the area for vocational education. Cosmetology was offered to junior and senior girls. Also offered were auto mechan- ics, carpentry, agriculture, and secretarial lab courses. 88 Vocational Ed students gain career know-how. 1.

The main plant is located in Milford and manufactures the original Flex- Auger, extendible waterers and floor feeders for the poultry industry. Across the road is the Air Systems Division, which manufactures ventila- tion systems for the poultry and livestock industries. Chore-Time’s cage manufacturing facility is located in Decatur, Ala- bama, and is recognized as a leader in cage design and quality manufac- turing. To the east at Athens, Georgia, is a plant which manufactures cage feeders, egg collection systems and related cage components. Across the sea in Maidegem, Belgium, are two more plants that manufacture equip- ment similar to that produced by the Milford plant with the additional capa- bilities of producing equipment for the swine industry. Chore-Time is proud of its association with the Milford area community and would like to thank the many within the community for having helped make the Chore-Time story a successful one. CHORE-TIME 8 we need your measurements in a manner of speaking We design and install custom kitchens. But before we do we need your measurements.
