“No man is an island” without permitting

himself to be so. When one chooses to isolate himself

to the world and people around him, one

ceases to grow. People grow through others, whether

the teacher be a child or an adult; without

people we do not experience the true meaning of life.

Within the past year we have seen various

accomplishments fulfilled. Whether great or small,

ambitions have been attained. Through group

or individual efforts each goal was gained with the

aid and understanding from people who surround

us. Without personal attention a community project

might never have existed. People need

each other. Without others, our school life and the

world that evolves around us could not be.

AFTER-SCHOOL HOURS enable D. Geissler and a Montessori
student in their individual search for knowledge.

AFTER MUCH DETERMINATION by Mr. Gartner, Gail Hiduke
and many other concerned individuals, a check is presented to
Mr. Miff to save the "Little Red Schoolhouse.”

Present in human beings is an inner drive that
compels them to strive for the top. An individual’s
achievements may seem his own, but
nothing can be accomplished by one person. Someone
in the past has offered encouragement or
consolation. To that person one owes gratitude.

Not only goals but everyday activities need
the help of others. Proud parents stand beside the
son whom they have urged to meet his ambitions.
The student appreciates the guidance of one who has
already walked a similar road.

We not only receive encouragement and aid, but we
stand in the position to give it to those
around us. To share with others is to help each
other live. No man is an island . . .

GAZING AT THE TROPHY, Mr. Football, Harry Muta, receives
congratulations from his proud father.

HOLIDAY FEELINGS GIVE freshman Carolyn Yeager the urge
to decorate her yard for the Christmas season.

BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO enables senior Charlene Stribiak and junior John Idzik to travel
around town in an old method of transportation rapidly gaining popularity. English racers,
3 and 10-speed bikes and tandems became a familar sight on city streets.

WITH SUMMER FINALLY HERE, one can occasionally stroll along the streets or parks and
find individuals participating in a game of frisbee, as is Jackie Zweig. Many students and
teachers await summer, and its arrival is greeted wholeheartedly.

TO KEEP BUSY during winter senior Sharon Yeager makes
snow angels in the privacy of. her backyard while the cold ice
and snow soaks through her clothes.

AFTER A LONG RIDE with barbecue grills strapped to their
bikes and food stuffed into baskets, Midge Mauger and Yolanda
Groves enjoy a picnic with their friends.

SPRINGTIME INSPIRES THOUGHTS which senior Ed Johnson
chooses to express in the form of music.

Pupils obtain satisfaction from hobbies

BANJO PLAYING during spare time has earned C. Usinger
membership into Showteens, a well-known musical group.

Fascinating hobbies, ranging from candle-making
to laser beams to taxidermy, consumed the spare
time of inventive Morton students. Forgetting about
homework, pupils relaxed and occupied extra hours
while broadening their areas of interest.

Tree leaves turned golden and Hessville Park be¬
came the sight of Sunday afternoon football games.
Boys and girls came outside to participate in a rough
game of tackle or cheer on the sidelines.

During the long winter nights creative girls took
up their needles to knit a scarf or crochet an afghan.
Knot-tiers attempted macrame; sewers tried needle¬
point. Fashioning their own patterns, students added
individual touches to their attire or made money by
selling their projects to others.

Car repairs, minor adjustments and paint jobs
acted as a pastime for interested auto mechanics.
Spare time found boys tinkering in garages seeking
louder engines and “souped-up” exteriors.

Music has always been a soothing hobby for the
talented — whether they be strumming the banjo
strings or gliding over the keys of a piano. Some
students relied on the music of the masters or old
folk ballads to express themselves. Others possessed
the ability to compose their own music.

Ecological-minded students pedaled for need or
leisure. Whether it be riding around the block or a
long-range journey, biking grew in popularity.

FIRST COAT OF PRIMER applied by senior Larry Dmitruck to chasis and assembled it to the body of a ’48 Ford Coupe. He

the chasis helps to prevent rust and corrosion. Larry took the built the coupe in his backyard during spare time.

Spirit shines through homecoming rain

j5i>u $

BLASTS OF AIR, donated by workers, gave fullness to the bal¬
loons illustrating the car theme, “Blow ’Em”.

Rain drastically changed the plans for Homecom¬
ing 1971. Late on Friday the student body learned
that the game and parade had been postponed until
the next day. Mass confusion reigned as students
adjusted schedules to accommodate the weather.

Juniors and seniors skipped school as they
frantically worked on their floats to meet the final
deadline. The rain gave them a welcomed 24-hour
extension to complete construction.

“Sy Walker” performed at the October 8 home¬
coming dance. Governor tradition fell aside when the
choice of queen was revealed at the dance instead
of during half-time ceremonies.

Saturday found homecoming participation still
alive as students prepared for the annual parade and
the game between Morton and Bishop Noll. Starting
at 6 p.m. the parade proceeded from the school and
circuited throughout the Hessville area.

During half-time the queen and her court were
presented to the spectators. Morton’s victory over
Bishop Noll happily terminated the wet and confus¬
ing homecoming festivities for 1971.

HOMECOMING COURT—. Billie Browning, Bob Westerfield,
Janet Hendrix, Kevin Boyle, queen Beth Constant, Jim Misko-

vich, Dede O’Drobinak, Jerry Bocken, Colette Stark, Dick Culp,
Ronni Vela, Tom Reba. The court was introduced during half-time.

by revising rules on male formal garb

On May 13, after a hectic day of hair dressers,
tuxedo rentals and florists, students and guests drove
23 miles to Crete, Illinois, for the 1971-72 Morton
Prom. Temporarily transformed into a sort of dream
palace, the Holiday Inn was to harbor dreams and
fond memories for many students.

Enchanted by the music of Johnnie Nowlan, couples
spent several hours waltzing through the spring
garden created from crepe paper streamers and
topiary trees prior to the after-prom. The construc¬
tion of a water fountain depicting youth symbolized
the theme, “We’ve Only Just Begun.”

Upswinging the tempo of the affair, “Jacob Grim”
entertained until 2 a.m. Prom-goers loosened ties
and kicked off their shoes while dancing to the rock
music, interrupted only by the serving of dinner and
the presentation of prom tokens.

Swimming and a day of frisbee followed as stu¬
dents convened upon beaches and parks to picnic.
Boys then journeyed home to return rented tuxedos
as their dates hung their prom gowns in the closet.

ANTICIPATION SPARKLES in the eyes of senior Robin O’Neal
as she awaits an enjoyable evening at the prom.

SOFT LIGHTS and formal attire set the mood as Stephanie
Fozkos and alumnus Jeff Stevenson arrive at the prom.

Inaugural couples;

Antique flicks attract

W.C. Fields, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and
many others typify famous actors of an age gone by.
Movies and posters brought these stars of the “gold¬
en era” into Morton's^cafeteria for the 1971 Inaugural
Ball, “Memories are Made of This”.

Association members worked long and hard to
make the Inaugural a success. Trips to Chicago found
students searching for appropriate decorations to
illustrate the theme. Students utilized study halls
and after-school hours to complete centerpieces,
chandeliers and other ornaments.

Eight millimeter projectors, operated by student
volunteers, transformed strips of film into typical
scenes from the twenties and thirties. Posters added
a special effect to the overall atmosphere.

Conqueror Worm, back-up group for Jefferson
Airplane, B.B. King, Cream and Iron Butterfly, pro¬
vided the musical entertainment for the nostalgic
evening. Those attending the Inaugural Ball feasted
on hor’doeuvres and punch.

If couples found themselves tired of old flicks,
posters and Conqueror Worm they moved to the
Association office where they listened to Orson
Welles’ 1939 broadcast of “War of the Worlds”.

OLD-FASHIONED MOVIES operated by Terry Bocken and Jim
Knaver provide a lively atmosphere at Inaugural Ball.

assemblies offer break in daily routine

Speeches by administration and student officials
greeted freshmen during Orientation, September 4.
Student guides conducted tours through large un¬
familiar halls and empty classrooms.

“Love Makes the World Go Round” provided the
musical atmosphere for presentation of the home¬
coming queen candidates. Each girl replied to a
question about a unique “spirit” situation.

“I could not realize . . . how heavy and constant
would be those burdens,” a quote from John F. Ken¬
nedy, developed into one of the themes used in
President Bruce Roquet’s Inaugural Address.

Recognition of indoor events became a reality in
the first sports assembly. Members of basketball,
swimming and wrestling teams participated.

Anticipation of the holidays heightened with San¬
ta’s visit during the Christmas assembly. Familiar
songs were remembered by choralers.

Without leaving the auditorium Governors traveled
to the country of Greece via a movie projector, a
screen and a film by Mr. Ted Bumillei.

OATHS OF OFFICE taken during the annual Inaugural Assembly
initiated Association members into their new positions.

MR. FOOTBALL CANDIDATES and escorts: J. Kopton and D.
White. SECOND ROW: T. Melton, T. Prange, L. Russell, R. Vela
C. Stark and H. Muta. BACK ROW: K. Bogner and D. Banka.

VISIONS OF CHILDREN happily opening gifts come to Santa
Claus Mike Clinton’s mind, while he reminisces about previous
Christmases during the annual Choral Christmas Concert.

'Romeo and Juliet' sets romantic mood;

Pupils and parents viewed an all-student inter¬
pretation of “Romeo and Juliet” in April and May.
Enactment of the play set the mood for freshmen
who studied this Shakespearean work. English II
teachers required classes to see the play.

“Woodland Christmas,” performed before the Yule-
tide vacation, depicted animals’ view of Christmas.
The characters befriended Hans Brinker, who helped
them stage a holiday in their forest. Actors gave
special presentations of "Woodland Christmas” for
grade school pupils and freshmen.

On February 3, 4, and 5, the drama department pre¬
sented “Rags to Riches,” a story of Ragged Dick
battling the evil Mother Watson. Happily ending,
Dick finally obtained wealth and found a home for
his friend, another young orphan.

“Oliver!”, the musical held over from last year,
returned to the Top Hat Theater stage on November
8, 9, 16, and 17. Cast parts and stage positions were
opened to the Civic Theater to compensate for the
lack of interest within the school.

Hot sticky days will no longer bother students and
faculty. The air-conditioning installation was wel¬
comed by those waiting for its coming.

Opportunity knocked at the doors of several Mor¬
ton students this year during Easter vacation. Along
with pupils from Highland and Clark, those who ex¬
perienced two years of Spanish at Morton qualified
to tour the colorful sites of southern Spain. Clark
also sponsored a trip to London and Paris. Eight
MHS students helped fill the plane seats.

Seventeen MHS students journeyed to Washington,
D.C. during Thanksgiving break. Historical places
and events filled the four adventurous days.

Needing individual attention, area elementary stu¬
dents were aided by volunteer tutors. For the second
consecutive year Gail Hiduke sponsored this service
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Yellow barricades, a loud speaker and a gathering
of pupils helped transform the parking lot into a
temporary race track. The second annual bike race
was separated into two divisions, bikes having five
or more speeds and those with speeds of three or
less. Victorious contestants received trophies ac¬
cording to their specific division.

COMPARING SCHOOL POLICIES, exchange students from E.C.

Peals of laughter, tears of joy express

They had first come to this gym four years ago.
Students came as freshmen to play basketball or to
folk dance. Days as a high school pupil seemed so
new and different, maybe even a little bewildering.
Friendships were made, some were broken. Students
followed the sound of a distant drummer as they
journeyed the four-year road. Individuals explored
different paths while their characters matured with
each new experience. Nevertheless, students began
their MHS education together.

On June 8, 467 seniors assembled in that immense
gym for the last time, but they did not play volleyball
or soccer. They solemnly filed in under the eyes of
relatives. Pam Keppel acted as valedictorian; Donna
Eichelberger represented the salutatorian. Pupils
and guests listened to the class creed and Reverend
Eastwood’s speech. Graduation did not seem a real¬
ity. Some students had counted the days; others
wished it was just beginning.

With their diploma in hand graduates realized that
the unpredictable high school years were now over.
Another bridge had been crossed — there was no
turning back. Tears and hugs mingled with happiness
on that final night together.

WITH THE WORLD ON HIS MIND, Geography student John
Kayden contemplates earthly problems in class.

Heated discussions took place in advanced history
classes as pupils studied American poverty. Some
students felt there should be no welfare program in
the United States while others strongly advocated
expanding it. Reading “Crisis in the Classroom”
pupils discovered the drawbacks of the American
educational system and became acquainted with in¬
formal teaching methods. Students also researched
prisons, organized crime and “Boss” Daley.

Analyzing the powers of the three branches of
government, seniors related terms and principles to
current issues. Economics pupils viewed man’s un¬
limited wants in comparison to limited resources.
Students also examined the stock market.

World history pupils, meeting course requirements,
made replicas of pyramids, medieval costumes and
geographical charts during their studies of ancient
civilizations. Students presented original skits based
on the crusades and the feudal system.

U.S. history students learned about Americans’
fight for freedom and evolvement of this country
into its present state. Locations of various countries
drifted through Geography pupils’ minds as they
attempted to label maps from memory.

Expanding to bigger rooms, Morton’s shop teach¬
ers prepared for a larger enrollment and an increas¬
ing demand for vocational training. Also, this year
girls could be seen sitting in shop classes.

Down on their knees, woodshop students struggled
to clean the floor of sawdust accumulated during
project construction. During class, students designed
shelves, bowls, chessboards and paddles. After re¬
ceiving grades, the projects served as gifts or deco¬
rations in the home. Noise from drills, grinders and
buffers could be heard as metal shop pupils met
numerous course requirements.

Electronics pupils thought ahead and sketched the
rooms desired in their model home. Deciding the lo¬
cations of circuits, pupils diagramed the electrical
wiring needed in the house. Mechanical drawing stu¬
dents exercised precision as they drew different
views of three-dimensional figures. Crooked lines
and inaccuracies lowered students’ grades.

Careful to observe every detail, power mechanics
pupils strained their necks to see their instructor
point out the parts of a car engine. Students learned
to repair various engines on their own, thereby avoid¬
ing costly repair bills in the future.

Proceeding through the endless exhibits at the
Museum of Science and Industry, chemistry students
kept busy while enjoying themselves during a field
trip. Biology classes dissected various animals, dis¬
covering similarities between humans and other
creatures of the animal world.

Production of fire from sawdust and water fas¬
cinated chemistry students. Through experimenta¬
tion and class discussion, pupils learned the rea¬
soning behind this supposed “magic". Secrets of
electricity became common knowledge to advanced
students enrolled in physics class.

Activities in biology ranged from studying amoeba
under high-powered microscopes to performing ex¬
ploratory surgery on frogs and mice.

Dissecting a cat, an exciting endeavor for many,
resulted in an upset stomach for some of the weaker
Zoology students. Detailed study of the anatomy and
life-style of the maple leaf and other plant life com¬
prised the curriculum in Botany.

Psychology students recognized the value of con¬
ditioned response through the study of Pavlov’s ex¬
periment with his famous dog. Physical Science
dealt with the fundamentals of all sciences.

a new course offered at Morton this year. Pupils
learned to recognize words easily after reading and
writing them. During the last few weeks students
played bingo and football in Notehand and tested
their skills by taking notes on lectures given by
classmates and visiting speakers. Pupils received
scholarship grades on a pass-fail basis.

Trying to increase their words-per-minute, stu¬
dents jammed keys together during timed writings in
Personal Typing class. Many pupils became frus¬
trated while using carbon paper as they attempted to
erase mistakes without smudging up their work.

Preparing themselves for college math courses
pupils taking analysis studied complex number pro¬
perties. Being tested on writing proofs, geometry
students realized the value of hours spent memor¬
izing theorems and postulates. Pupils utilized the pro¬
tractor and compass in the construction of geometric
figures. Advanced algebra students had a more dif¬
ficult time visualizing and sketching three dimension¬
al graphs with x,y,z coordinate planes than those
graphs with x,y coordinate planes.

The Wife of Bath’s Tale, a story studied in English Lit.

Dressed as knights, fairies, and princesses, Eng¬
lish Lit students performed quick costume changes
as they presented skits of CANTERBURY TALES.
Many experienced stage fright at the hands of their
peers while others “stole the show.”

Pupil’s first speech in sophomore English proved
to be more difficult to give than anticipated. Some
students got the last-minute shakes. When their turn
at the podium came, parts of the speech, memorized
before the bathroom mirror, slipped their minds.
After numerous practices before an audience stu¬
dents began to feel more at ease.

Making a long-distance call to Odysseus to find
out where he has been, Penelope becomes dissatis¬
fied with her husband’s answers. She finally hangs

Women’s Lib. Many such conversations took place
in English I studies of THE ODYSSEY.

Junior English pupils, scattered throughout li¬
braries during classes and after school hours, strug¬
gled to meet term paper deadlines.

All English classes stressed correct writing tech¬
niques and grammar. Journalism, dramatics and
speech served as elective English courses.

Spanish students design holiday cards

PLEASED WITH HIS WORK German student Scott Warner takes
one last look before closing the door.

Discovering hidden artistic talents, Spanish stu¬
dents struggled to glue together scraps of paper
as they designed holiday cards. Finished products
brightened the room and provided a warm atmo¬
sphere for study. Greetings of “Feliz Navidad” could
be heard as pupils celebrated Christmas in Spanish
style. Even though it took longer than expected to
break the Santa Claus pinata, pupils still rushed to
grab the candy that fell to the floor.

Illustrations of Charlie Brown and his friends, ac¬
companied by German translations of their quotes,
served as decorations in German classes. Students
furnished the necessary Christmas ornaments to trim
the holiday tree during after-school hours.

Christmas voices filled the Yuletide air while French
students attempted to harmonize. Pupils prepared
homemade delicacies, such as creme puffs, to be
sampled by their classmates. One outside activity
included a visit to a selected restaurant to acquaint
students with French foods.

Besides learning the correct pronunciation of a
language, pupils studied the country’s history and
customs. Due to a lack of student interest Latin was
dropped.from the curriculum this year.

PLUNGED INTO DARKNESS, senior Jan McTaggart gets blind- during a Spanish 7 class. Students engaged in various tradi-

Choral groups carol on station WJOB

Straining to hear the music piped to their rooms,
students listened to Morton’s vocal groups caroi
over radio station WJOB. Singers gave nervous and
humorous replies while being interviewed by the disc
jockey during breaks between the songs.

Before becoming a member of a specific vocal
group, pupils learned fundamentals in girls’ or boys’
chorus. After one semester a student could try out
for the musical group he wished to join. Tryouts
proved a frightening experience to some while others
breezed through them with no trouble.

Much hard work and practice went into the holiday
assemblies and programs presented by the choral
department. Students designed and constructed all
stage sets and props during after-school hours. Sing¬
ers spent lunch hours and study halls polishing up
newly learned Christmas songs.

Silently listening to the visiting monks chant Gre¬
gorian Hymns, Music History pupils thought of days
long ago when culture and learning centered on
religion. Students analyzed the evolution of music
through the ages of civilization.

In Music Theory, an accelerated music study,
many pupils found it difficult to compose songs.
The beat of familiar tunes clouded their minds as
they attempted to create an original sound.

"ON THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS . . .” students from
the choral department await the arrival of Santa Claus.

Sewers use suede,

Making purses and vests of suede, students used
their imagination in designing original creations.
Yards of fake fur, transformed into winter coats,
kept advanced sewers dressed in current styles.
Experienced pupils stayed busy during the first
semester by working on three-piece outfits.

First-year sewers became frustrated while attempt¬
ing to match the seams of outfits made of plaid
material. A fraction of an inch difference could re¬
sult in a lower grade. Students spent time ripping
out puckered zippers and crooked hems.

Shouts of pain could be heard coming from Room
142 as students from Boys’ Foods jabbed their fin¬
gers while sewing’ on buttons. Most of the trouble
came with threading the needle. In the kitchen cook¬
ing a cherry pie required two days, one to mix the
ingredients and the second day to bake and eat it.
Boys also learned proper etiquette.

Enticing aromas drifted through the halls as girls
prepared various meals. Popping the potatoes in the
oven one hour before broiling their steaks, the girls
carefully budgeted their time. Aspiring housewifes
learned techniques to aid them in homemaking and
interior decorating in Family Living.

students develop skills in various fields

Echos of “one-two-three” resounded through the
gym as students practiced warm-up exercises. Loos¬
ening up before performing regular class activities
prevented pulled muscles. Pupils developed skills
in various athletic fields such as swimming, gymnas¬
tics, volleyball and basketball.

Running through the showers in their bathing suits,
swimmers cleaned up before jumping in the pool.
Once in, pupils bobbed up-and-down to warm them¬
selves and condition their bodies to the water. Stu¬
dents worked to perfect swimming strokes and diving
techniques. After meeting specific requirements,
swimmers could earn their beginner and advanced
Red Cross ratings during class time.

Balance and agility proved to be necessary to
pupils who mastered the parallel bars and balance
beam in gymnastics. Students skilled on the tramp¬
oline executed front and back flips.

In volleyball, instructors stressed teamwork as
pupils learned to spike the ball to their opponents

individual projects

Students in art classes independently pursued var¬
ious individual endeavors. Formless clay took on the
shape of a definite figure. With the aid of paints, an
aspiring artist worked to transform a blank canvas
into an interpreted painting.

Looking through magazines for words and pic¬
tures, students attempted to make collages. A mean¬
ingless bit of paper combined with insignificant
scraps became an expressive piece of art.

Studies of different artistic forms sometimes sup¬
plemented actual creation. Students learned to
appreciate various art techniques and applied them
to their own work. Eventually a budding artist began
to develop his own individual style.

Permanent stains on clothes became a sight for
mothers of art students. Artists acquired spotted
hands and arms as a result of working with paints.
Students fogot their messes when a new project,
diligently worked on, reached completion.

Throughout four years of courses students delved
into the many aspects of art. The students’ talents
flowed into various channels. Comparing his work
with his classmates, a pupil became acquainted
with different artistic perspectives.

Clubs once played a pertinent role in school life. Since
the cry for individuality rose, many students have drifted from
group to personal pastimes. Interested pupils still
found their way to various activities keeping many groups alive.
A service club brought happiness to older folks when
the students remembered them during the Christmas season.
Working close within the student government, members
gained an understanding of the political “ins and outs”.

Association council

Taking turns at the typewriter, volunteers worked
over a week during study halls to type the 2201
names shown in the Student Directory. Frustration
prevailed in the Ass’n Office as typing eraser and
paper changed location after every hour.

Exchange pupils from Lake Central toured Morton
with assigned student guides. Morton reps, in turn,
visited L.C., attending classes and a council meeting.
Exchanges enabled Govs to see how another school
functions. It also gave representatives an opportun¬
ity for making new friendships.

Chosen Cabinet and committee members met in¬
frequently with the administration to discuss rele¬
vant problems. An often-mentioned item was the
proposal for a Student Center. It remained in the
"talk stage” as difficulties continued to arise.

Attempting to break the lull between Sectionals
and spring break, the Association president planned
the first homeroom basketball tourney. Over 450 en¬
trants readily accepted the challenge of competing
against classmates. Scheduled games included meets
between the best team of each grade. Winners re¬
ceived homeroom trophies and individual ribbons.
Homeroom 11-15 won the school championship.

Pupils strive for NHS, NFL qualification

Anxiously awaiting for the names of those who
qualified for NHS, pupils breathed a sigh of relief
when they received the congratulatory note in home¬
room. Three years of study and hard work had paid
off for juniors in the upper five percent of their class
and seniors in the upper ten percent. Proud parents
accompanied their children to initiation ceremonies
held at the school’s auditorium.

Striving to learn techniques for meaningful com¬
munication, students involved themselves in NFL.
Proving their speech ability, NFL members brought
home two first place trophies from the Highland
Invitational Debate Tournament. After winning first
place at the Purdue Invitational Legislative Assem¬
bly sophomore Barb Griggs journeyed downstate to
compete for further honors.

soil collections and water samples.

Studying the generation of electricity and atomic
processes enabled Physics Club members to visit
the Palisades Nuclear Plant in Michigan.

Trips to Earlham College, the University of Chi¬

Mortonite staff conveys student ideas

PAGE EDITORS— FRONT ROW: Sue Zondlo. SECOND ROW:
Jim Josway, Debbie Palmer, Nancy Uhrin and Donna Hurr.
These editors worked to organize their individual pages.

Bi-weekly editions of the MORTONITE reported
school news besides serving as a calendar of events.
Through this paper readers become acquainted with
things which surrounded other students’ lives. Stu¬
dents needed to understand that participation was
not limited to the staff but extended to the student
body. “L’il Guv’nor” and “Letters to the Editor” gave
anyone a chance to express himself.

For two weeks Editor Carolyn Curiel and Make-up
Editor Debbie Neely attended the Journalism Institute
at Indiana University in Bloomington. They studied
copy reading and layout design. Unable to attend
institute, Debbie Somerville served on the MORTON¬
ITE staff as assistant editor. In charge of overall
production these girls checked assigned work before
allowing it to be sent to the printer.

Planning an attractive page describes the respon¬
sibility of the page editors. They must design the
page so that each article fits properly.

Reporters composed the majority of the MORTON¬
ITE staff. These students kept an open ear for any
interesting school news. Responsibility also lied
with them to finish their topics for written articles
within set dates, assigned by the editor.

MORTONITE’S 1971-72 staff decided to add a little
entertainment to their work. They established a “Hall
of Fame” honoring those students who contributed
to the production of the paper.

Since all issues were free, the staff sponsored a
“Mr. Ugly” Dance to finance publication costs.

Top Hat staff organizes extra pages

Working on Morton’s TOP HAT took a great deal of
co-operation. Based on social and academic func¬
tions, the yearbook contains captured moments Qf
school life. Student and faculty involvement gave
the staff a basis for building the annual.

Yearbook procedures were taught to Michelle Kik,
TOP HAT’S copy editor, and Gail Hiduke, layout
editor, during a two-week summer journalism insti¬
tute. While at Indiana University in Bloomington they
studied a variety of techniques and listened to even¬
ing lectures. These editors checked and approved all
work given to them by section editors.

Helping to set the framework of opening section
and to ease the strain of the editors, Pam LaVelle
acted as contributing editor. To learn her duties
Pam attended Ohio’s Kent State for one week.

Each section editor and her assistants must meet
required deadlines in order to complete the book.
Failure of one section to compile information means
delay of the entire publication.

Incoming Morton students felt welcomed when
members of MITS offered a building tour of the

during second semester. MITS members traveled to
elementary schools to present a brief explanation of
the different functions at Morton. MITS headed the
drive, in which several clubs participated, selling
stuffed animals. Profits went into a fund to buy a
fully-equipped wheelchair for a MHS student.

Making someone happy, the Home Economics Club
attended St. Ann’s Nursing Home greeting the elder¬

Spurred on by the dread of shinning a spotlight
on the wrong person or not raising the curtain on
cue, the production staff worked behind the scenes
to ready stage, lighting and backdrops for all pep
rallys, plays and assemblies.

Carrying out duties that varied from organizing
files to painting settings, the first semester stage
crew consisted of only nine members.

Discontinuing the somewhat “worn-out” Theater
Guild candy sales, this year the club decided to
support theater productions by selling fruit cakes.
They also planned several theater trips but never
attended any play productions.

Reasons for the suspension of the Thespian Troupe
included delinquent dues and not enough eligible
members to satisfy the national headquarters.

Producing four plays in approximately eight months
required more work from the Drama Department than
met the viewers’ eyes. Scores of students stood up
on stage to recite lines while the directors tackled
the job of casting. Lines then had to be memorized
and the blocking worked out.

Set designers and costume crews budgeted time.
Despite broken needles and machines, costume crew
designed and made 60 outfits for the “Oliver!” pro¬
duction. Set designers worked diligently to complete
the huge revolving “Oliver!” set needed to portray
the dark, dingy slums of London.

A.V. Club stages entertainment nights

Volunteering their services, A.V. Club members
operated, cleaned and repaired various kinds of pro¬
jection equipment during study halls. A semester
of training for their first job did not help new mem¬
bers once they got inside the classroom. Trying to
act experienced under the watchful eyes of the
teacher and class, trainees usually got so nervous
that they dropped the film can, could not thread
the projector properly or wound the film upside
down. After they finished their first assignment,
trainees returned to the A.V. room to relate their
experiences to others and prepare themselves for
their next job. An annual spring car wash helped
members raise money to buy stereo equipment.

Displaying their creativity on the library windows,
Photo Club members composed picture stories that
focused on school events. Members used the new
camera, purchased with club dues, to take the pic¬
tures and developed them after school.

Through experimentation projects, Electronics
Club members familiarized themselves with circuits
and transistors. The boys sponsored a candy sale
which enabled them to purchase additional electronic
equipment to use in future experiments.

Morton band works for new uniforms

Purchasing new uniforms became the dream of
many band members. Proceeds from a candy drive
and spring concert went towards the new apparel.

During the excitement of the football season the
marching band provided half-time entertainment.
Their musical presentations consisted of a marching
routine to the tune of an appropriate selection. Pom-
pon'girls performed with the band.

Shiny brass instruments and the thundering beat
of drums indicated the presence of the pep band.
Composed of volunteer members, this group played
the national anthem during basketball season.

Stage band practiced to acquire the rhythm and
tempo of contemporary music. They received a sec¬

Hallways resound with joyous carolers;

Despite freezing feet and fingers, Concert Choir
serenaded teachers’ homes with carols, besides pro¬
moting Yuletide spirit by singing at school. After a
day of “downing” lemon juice, pupils sang several
diverse selections for the Northern Indiana State
Band Orchestra and Vocal Contest. Made up of the
finest voices in the school, Concert Choir acted as
the core for all concerts and choral assemblies.
Thrilled choir participants viewed posted letters of
praise pertaining to performances, despite a bass
section of only four members.

Wayfarers, performers of popular folk and some
rock music, sang frequently for banquets or dinners.
After school on Mondays the group discussed dif¬
ferent techniques and song format while striving
to insert touches of originality.

Amid shouts of congratulations from choir mem¬
bers, the newly formed Girls’ Swing Group received
first place medals for performances at state and city
contests. Material consisted of popular music and
simple dance routines. Governaires, singing almost
all traditional music accompanied by piano, partici¬

Seniors and juniors portrayed the clownish absur¬
dities of football and basketball players during pep
rallies held to boost team support.

Throughout football season Booster Club officers
designated sections at games for the cheering blocks.
They arranged for transportation to away games,
including 14 buses for the trip to Elkhart.

Annual dances sponsored to honor “Mr. Football”
and “Mr. Basketball” composed a main part of
Booster Club’s activities. New to Morton this year,
the Powder Puff football game enabled girls to learn
the techniques of this male sport. After two weeks
of practice, the game ended in a 6-6 tie.

GAA members built-up their treasury selling photo
wallets, night shirts, football jerseys and stationary.
Athletically they participated in interscholastic volley¬
ball and basketball games.

exclude substitutes

Expressions of anticipation could be seen on girls’
faces while they performed their practiced cheers.
Selecting the freshman cheerleading squad resulted
in the elimination of the usual two substitutes. Be¬
cause tryouts occurred late in the football season,
the frosh squad cheered during basketball games
and at pep rallies to increase spirit.

Bank depositers’ contributions to a bake sale
enabled the varsity squad to attend cheerleading
camp at Vincennes University. Sensations of rivalry
filled the air during the vigorous week as the girls
competed against other cheerleaders.

Football season began and the cheerleaders spon¬
sored a dance and pep rally. Excitement grew as
students dreamed of a victorious season, yelling out
shouts of encouragement. The sale of spirit buttons
helped the cheerleaders raise funds.

With hopes of buying new uniforms and accessor¬
ies, B-team squad sponsored a summer bake sale.
Warm weather practices gave the girls time to make
new cheers and contemplate ways to boost spirit.

Journeying to Hanover Central on March 18 the
pom-pon girls participated in their first drill-team
contest. They performed an original dance routine
to Issac Hayes’ recording of “Shaft”. Officials judged
on overall appearance of the corps, alignment and
difficulty of the choreographed routine.

Pom-pon girls and twirlers could be seen huddled
together in a corner of the Riverside Grade School
building. Attempting to stay warm, they waited to
line up for the Hammond Christmas parade. Standing
at attention with the band, the girls shivered uncon¬
trollably when the cold wind swept past them. Even
though their arms and legs began to ache after
marching a few blocks, they kept smiles on their
faces throughout the course of the parade.

“Go Govs” yelled the twirlers and pom-pon girls
as they marched around the field before pre-game
activities. After greeting the opponent with “Hi Neigh¬
bor” they rushed into line for the school song.
Racing back into band formation, the girls readied
themselves for the national anthem. Tired, they
wearily thought of half-time activities.

His body drained from the strength and sweat, Jack Kerr lies on the court catching his breath, relaxing the tense muscles.

Joy of triumph mirrored in the face of C. Baxley
enabled gathered fans to share in his ecstasy.

Winning the football championship proves a team victory
despite the fact that only one individual made the last touchdown.
Missing that deciding lob in the tennis match does not
hurt as much after the player receives congratulations from
teammates for his actions in playing a “good" game.

Athletics requires individual skills combined with team effort.

COACH OF THE YEAR Maurey Zlotnik led the team to a victo¬
rious season in his thirty-first year at Morton.

Students jumped in the stands with the first kick¬
off of the season. The bleachers spilled over with
fans, but there was always room for one more. Ticker
tape and toilet paper flittered through the air. At the
half the Governors held the lead. The fourth quarter
proved to be tense, but with fifteen seconds to go a
pass to a lone receiver was completed and the win¬
ning touchdown scored. Excited fans hugged their
friends, slipping off the bleachers while tears of joy
streamed down their cheeks. Gary West Side had
been defeated by the Governors!

Overconfidence — everybody expected an easy
win. However, the Clark Pioneers held Morton to a 19
point shut-out. E.C. Washington and Tech both put
up good fights, but their attempts proved futile.

Homecoming brought Noll to Morton. Drizzling
rain did not hamper the 18 point Gov victory. Larger
crowds gathered to watch the Governors win their
next two games over Gavit and Whiting.

Finally, the biggest game of the season. Hammond
High against Morton. Both teams sported undefeated
records. Tension that had been building up drew to
its peak. With no score posted at the half the Gover¬
nors returned to tally the only touchdown of the
game. Fans poured onto the field to congratulate
the team. It had been a winning season.

Then there was Elkhart . . .

RECOGNITION OF HIS TOUCHDOWN prompts junior Mike

Stands littered from the previous night’s game
seated the few spectators. Below on the Mustang’s
scrub field, Morton’s B-team played their first sea¬
son game. The morning stillness made conversation
between coach and team nearly audible. Under the
hot sun the Governors managed to score three touch¬
downs, while Munster posted only six points in
their four quarter attempt.

As the season progressed, the team went on to
defeat Tech, E.C. Roosevelt and Gavit. These wins
gained B-team another undefeated record.

Keeping up with varsity and B-team, this year’s
frosh football season ended victoriously.

As the freshmen ran out on the lighted field, an¬
ticipations of playing their first high school football
game drew near to reality. Their fears mounted as
the first quarter began. Before they knew it, how¬
ever, the game ended. The scoreboard posted a
15 point victory for the Governors.

Eight more wins, the last over undefeated Ham¬
mond High, left MHS frosh number one in the area.

Tennis team finishes year at 5-5 mark;

Silence prevailed. No spirited fans gathered to
boost the morale. Yet the 1971 tennis team managed
to end conference play in a tie for second place.
Players sweated to compile a 5-5 season mark.

Beginning the year with only one returning letter-
man, junior Dave Rush, might have seemed a major
handicap. With the help of coaching and individual
determination, new players mastered the game.

Racketmen broke two records during their season.
For the first time in seven years the Governors over¬
came Gavit. Also, though defeated by HHS, the team
prevented the usual shut-out by winning one of the
five matches against them.

Mark York, a junior, and Chuck Brandner, a sopho¬
more, finished with the best record in doubles. To¬
gether they won eleven matches while losing only
three. They were also champs in the number one
doubles of conference play. The conference tourney,
held October 11 through 15, found seniors Frank
Benton and Gary Chepregi listed as runners-up.

Teammates elected Frank Benton Most Valuable
Player. Jack Kerr served as the team captain.

Seniors Jack Kerr, Frank Benton, Gary Chepregi,
and Lyman Bond, juniors Carl Christy and Mark York
and sophomore Chuck Brandner received their first

Govs overcome Munster in last game

Cheering fans watched as the starting five took
their positions on the court. With the referee’s
whistle the two centers jumped for the ball and the
first game of the season got underway.

Individual talents blended into teamwork as the
Governors dribbled, passed and sank the shots. A
tied score, opening the fourth quarter, gave both
squads an equal chance; but Highland maintained
the lead when the final buzzer sounded.

After a win over Lake Central, Morton faced Grif¬
fith. A close game all the way, both teams posted
identical scores at the end of the fourth period.
Overtime, however, enabled the Panthers to get an
edge on the Govs and win the contest. By later de¬
feating Gary Wirt, MHS’ mark stood at 3-5.

Many fans who had discontinued to back a losing
team missed the eager’s victory over Hobart. Down
by 11 at the end of the first quarter, the Brickies
dropped farther behind as the Governors played one
of their better games of the season.

Morton marksmen demonstrated their capabilities
once again while up against Andrean. The cagers
shot past the 59ers in the second period, giving them
an 11 point half-time advantage. The final score
reflected another Governor victory.

MHS defeated Munster in their final regular season
game. With sectionals a week away the team had six
more days of practice to look forward to!

All week students had been painting signs and
decorating homerooms to boost the spirit for section¬
als. A pep rally held in the gym enabled fans to
wish the basketball team “good luck.”

Finally, after what seemed ages, Tuesday night
arrived. The buses, packed with team supporters,
proceeded to the Civic Center. Once inside a cheer¬
ing block took shape in the designated area.

As the two teams came on the floor the fans went
wild. Morton got the tip off, made a basket and
took the lead. They defeated Whiting 55-48.

Friday night found the Governors up against Gavit.
This time the Gladiators got the first basket. They
sank three more shots before Morton cagers posted
their initial two points. Disappointment on the faces
of the MHS fans soon turned to joy as the Govs
fought back to hold a four point lead at the half.
Tension filled the last few minutes of the game as
Gavit brought the score to 72-70. Morton, however,
managed to hang on and end it 74-70.

Saturday night — Morton vs. Clark. Coach Mar-
cinek had led MHS to the final game. The Govs held
an early lead but the Pioneers soon took over. Four
quarters later Clark received the sectional trophy.
Echoed in the background could be heard the chant
of MHS fans — “We’re proud of our team!”

Frosh cagers grabbed top honors in their con¬

Off to a good start, the squad had been successful
in their first five attempts. The sixth opponent, Gavit,
led by one point when the buzzer sounded; the Gov¬
ernors had their first taste of defeat. Tolleston, with
a two point advantage when time ran out, gave
MHS its second loss of the season.

Determined to win, the roundballers overcame
Hammond High, then blasted Tech in a 31 point
victory. The following week they fell to ECW.

With skill and teamwork the freshman squad de¬
feated Tech, Whiting and Bishop Noll to capture the
Hammond Invitational Tourney crown.

Between groans and cheers, relatives, friends and
other onlookers yelled heedless instructions to the
wrestlers throughout the contest. The minutes ticked
away and before long the buzzer sounded.

Beginning the season with a loss to Gavit put the
grapplers in a slump. Finally, however, after three
more losses and a tie, Morton came out of it and
won three consecutive matches against E.C. Roose¬

second straight year, exhibit 11-2 mark

With sectionals only a week past, the swimmers
headed back to the pool to begin practice for the
following season. Early in fall, after the start of the
new school year, they met in the natatorium in the
morning to get back in shape after the long summer.
Once into full-swing swimmers strived to perfect
their strokes and increase speed.

Experience and desire helped the tankmen in their
most successful season. Cheers from the scattered
spectators resounded in the pool area as the Govs
opened the year with an 11-point victory over Tech.
After eight more wins Morton participated in the
Munster Relays where they took a first.

There had been no losses recorded against Morton
until they faced Griffith. The following week their
second and final defeat came against Noll.

Getting back on the winning side, MHS overcame
Highland in the best and most exciting meet of the
year. Morton tankmen took a first in every event
except the 50-yard and 200-yard freestyles. This
boosted the team’s morale as they proceeded to take
fourth place in the swimming sectionals.

Senior Nick Pitzel qualified for state and finished
thirteenth in the diving competition there. Team
members voted Rick Dodson and Pat Higgins Co¬
captains and David Misanik Most Valuable.

compile 5-6 record

Scattered around the football field, team members
sat resting or worked out while they waited for their
particular event to begin.

Runners lined up on the track. Ready, set, the
gun sounded and they sprinted to the finish line.
One by one the long jumpers headed toward the box
of sand with hopes of surpassing their longest re¬
corded mark or at least taking first place.

‘Cloud 9’, a big white billowy cushion, provided
pole vaulters with a safe landing after their some¬
times successful, sometimes futile, attempt to clear
the bar and stay in competition. High jumpers at
the other end of the field leaped farther into the air
with each rise of the bar.

After seven and a half times around the track the
two-mile distance runners put forth their last surge
of energy to make it to the finish line. The few
spectators cheered during the last quarter mile to
give their man an extra boost.

When the relay teams finished their laps and each
school’s points had been totaled, faces mirroring
both triumph and defeat could be seen leaving the
field. The first meet had been a good meet for Mor¬
ton. They finished in second place. Later in the
year, at sectionals, they placed fifth, then proceeded
to complete the year at 5-6.

WITH CONGRATULATIONS IN ORDER Mr. Zerby gives fresh¬
man Bob Skertic a pat on the back for a job well done.

BURYING HIS FEET in the sand enables R. Kukula to maintain
a balanced position until judges affirm his jump.

B-team takes first in city championship

After placing second in the first two meets of
the season, B-team trackmen proceeded to take a
first place, accumulating more points than both
E.C. Washington and E.C. Roosevelt. The next three
attempts found Morton again taking seconds. In the
City Frosh-Soph meet they placed third as they did
in the Lake Shore Conference competition.

MHS cindermen fell to fourth at the Clark Relays.

In the City Frosh meet, with only freshmen parti¬
cipating, they finished in first place.

Determination aids

As the shot pierced the silence, the runners sprint¬
ed off. To the few spectators it seemed like mass
confusion. Soon the leaders took their places out
in front, leaving the others behind.

Hard practice over the long summer proved worth¬
while for the Morton thinlies as shown by a 7-3
record. Their first meet, against Merrillville, shat¬
tered all hopes of an undefeated season. Despite
a bad start, the cross country team came back to
win seven of the nine remaining contests.

Coach Russ Marcinek headed the team this year.
Team members chose Chuck Baxley as Most Valu¬
able Player and Dave Villarreal as captain.

receive eligibility to

Two teams gathered on Morton’s home field for
the first game of the 1971 soccer season. The 11
starters for both sides prepared for the upcoming
contest with a little practice on the sidelines. Minutes
later the ball rolled and flew as it bounced off the
feet and heads of players. With both coaches watch¬
ing, Hammond High defeated the Govs.

Discouraged, but not giving up, MHS kickers over¬
came their next four opponents. Tech, the third of
the four, scored one goal; but Morton maintained
the lead after tallying four points. The other three
Governor matches ended in shut-outs.

Next on the roster, the Governors faced Hammond
High for the second time — and for the second time
they failed in their attempt against them.

With two contests remaining the team’s mark stood
at 4-2. After shutting-out both Clark and Gavit, how¬
ever, two more wins had been recorded.

Ending the season Morton again played Gavit and
Clark, this time in the play-offs. Allowing only the
Gladiators to score against them, they defeated both
teams for the third time that year.

Eligible team members received school letters
instead of patches, as in previous years.

AFTER HEADING THE BALL, junior Jay Gollner checks to
make sure it went the right way.

breaks record for consecutive victories

Both pitchers warmed up on the sidelines for the
first contest of the season. As game time drew near,
the Warriors took their positions on the field and
a Governor walked to the plate. After 6 V 2 innings,
Bishop Noll emerged victorious.

Five days later at Hessville Park, Morton beat
Gary West by four runs. This became the first of a
17 game winning streak — a new school record.

Cold winds forced spectators into their cars while
Morton shut-out Lake Central. Warmer weather
brought MHS fans to Hessville Park for a double-
header against Calumet. The Governors scored a
total of 18 points in the two contests.

Morton overcame Whiting in its first conference
attempt. After winning the next eight games, the
teams’ ILSC record stood at 9-0.

Then, on the Governor’s home field, crosstown
rival Gavit crushed MHS’ winning streak with a 6-1
score. Disheartened, the team lost to E.C. Washing¬
ton the next day at Block Stadium. They came back
to win three games after this, however, giving them a
20 win season, also a new school record.

E.C. Washington defeated Morton in the playoff
game, which left MHS second in the conference.

SILHOUETTED AGAINST THE FIELD, Governor Coach Jack
Georgas is captured in an aura of deep reflection.

BASEBALL ACTION takes place at the Valpo game with Harry
Muta backing away from an inside pitch.

BEFORE THE GAME, junior Ed Crawford works on form and
accuracy as he loosens up for his mound duties.

Falling snow never ceased to be an attraction during lunch hours. Hungry friends stopped to join in pelting the “other side”.

On a quiet afternoon Sharon Creekmore wander¬
ed through isolated halls checking with monitors.

Some students look back after their initial year of

high school, others look back to remember four years. Pupils

retrace days of happiness, obliviate the times of

despair. No matter what the situation might have been, they are

richer from the wisdom which they gained. Students

cherish friendships they have made and remember the ones that

did not go as well. But from them all, pupils have

bettered themselves by furthering their understanding of people.

No man stands alone among . . .

boost spirit amid apathetic schoolmates

Officers strived to bring together apathetic class¬
mates with sign painting sessions, dress-up days
and the wearing of cords. Disinterest fostered un¬
involved reactions from most seniors.

Realizing that soon friends and teachers would
be memories, seniors looked closer at one another
during their final year. Different events brought on
feelings of joy, grief, unity.

Homework, momentarily dismissed, enabled sen¬
iors to assemble the homecoming float. Emotions
sparked happiness when special friends received
the honor of being chosen queen candidates.

Exec Board tried to organize activities but met
with little response from seniors. The first planned
class activity also became the last.

During infrequent Tuesday meetings, students were
advised of pertinent class news. Counselors notified
seniors of graduation requirements.

After difficulty in obtaining material and ordering
pants, seniors finally received cords. Cream skirts,
culottes, slacks and green sweaters identified the
few ’72ers who chose to wear them.

Joyous laughter, sighs of relief, trickling tears
will be contrasting aspects of graduation. Some sen¬
iors look to college or business careers; others will
spend time questioning undecided futures. But all
wonder — “where do we go from here?”

FIVE MINUTE BREAKS between classes give seniors Jerry
Bocken, Larry Dmitruck, Greg Clarke and Neal Kaufman time
to gaze at the girls going by the ‘senior bench.’

Selection of different hobbies, activities

FOOTBALL IN POSITION, junior class Secretary Bonnie Fowler
practices for the Powder Puff game.

Class officers inherited many jobs, most impor¬
tant the planning of the junior-senior prom. Along
with sponsors they spent valuable time organizing
committees and making important decisions for the
annual formal on May 13, 1972.

“Squeezing” ideas and effort from exec board
members, the officers held many meetings before
and after school. Juniors and their parents met to
debate prom location and mode of transportation.
After a travel compromise, prom-goers rode to Crete,
Illinois, via cars or buses.

Juniors could be seen frequenting nearby restau¬
rants after gaining the privilege of open campus.
Purchase of class rings and a trip to Washington,
D.C., and Williamsburg, Virginia, comprised major
activities of the year for some juniors. Interested
students also worked on the construction of the ’73
Homecoming float depicting a frog.

With trembling hands college-bound juniors took
the important SAT tests during spring in order to
qualify for college entrance.

Some in the Class of 73 look to their last school
year with the thought, “only one more time to go.”
Other juniors, anticipating college, think of the com¬
ing year as “one more time to live . .

Class of '74 officers meet with sponsor

Monthly meetings for homeroom representatives
and class officers gave sophomores a chance to
speak out, voicing their opinions and disagreements
on topics concerning their class. These gatherings,
held in the morning, gave reps a chance to communi¬
cate with their class sponsor, Mr. Green.

Sophomores planned activities in an attempt to
raise money for the class treasury. Two dances kept
classmates and officers busy organizing committees
and finalizing the sketchy preparation plans. Hoping
for an opportunity to assist in the “Mass Hysteria”
dances, student volunteers gathered after school,
blowing up balloons to decorate the cafeteria. Those
with creativity chose to design blacklight posters,
using florescent paints in varied “wild” colors of
blue, pink, green and yellow.

Representing sophomores spirit, signs labeled with
“74’s” and names of “artists” covered the cafeteria
walls and hall bulletin boards.

Highlighting the year, administrative authorities
decided to allow sophomores to purchase class rings
a year early, thus oiving them a few extra months
time to wear their high school rings.

With the anxieties of being freshmen in the past,
sophs had regarded their second year with less an¬
ticipation. Entering their junior year, the Class of
74 now look forward to becoming upperclassmen
or a year of “perpetual change”.

TANGLED IN TICKETS, sophomore class President John Prange
attempts to count the collected dance money.

Speakers acquaint students with school

Warnings about attendance and tardiness mingled
with greetings from administration during freshman
orientation. Spiced with a tour of the building by
Cabinet members, the exercises brought incoming
frosh together on a warm day in September.

That “first time” experience brought feelings of
excitement to freshmen as homecoming activities
began. Moms bought food and “willingly” lent base¬
ments and garages for decoration gatherings. Dads
watched their Fords and Chevys transformed into
floats for the annual procession. Yelling to relatives
and friends, freshmen rode in the parade tossing
tissue flowers and candy.

Elected by classmates, a boy and girl presented
a crown and roses to the Homecoming queen.

Cheerleading tryouts prompted freshman girls to
get involved in leading class spirit. They came
to tryouts despite sore muscles and shaky knees.
Judges faced the problem of selecting only five
cheerleaders from the many hopeful candidates. No
freshman substitutes were chosen this year.

Some freshmen enjoyed becoming involved in
class and school activities while others preferred to
remain on the outside looking in. But for all of the
freshmen it was “only the beginning. . .

SEEN THROUGH A WINDOW, freshman President Brett Luketic
takes it upon himself to reassemble the totem pole. He is, of
course, placing his class’s ‘head’ on top.

Administrators contend with problems

ON THE PHONE Principal Mr. W. Winston Becker takes care of
Governor business in his private office.

Concerned with vandalism, Mr. Becker “closed”
social events until a better means of screening could
be devised. Attempting to reach a compromise with
students in regard to open dances, Mr. Becker and
Mr. Mateja met with Cabinet members during lunch
hours. Mr. Mateja organized the master calendar so
that clubs and organizations could schedule dates.

Mr. Ruff, informing students of detentions, became
a familiar sight in Morton's halls. Admits to see Mr.
Ruff alarmed many pupils, but once inside his office
they found he could be understanding.

Providing help to students with disordered second
semester schedules, counselors dealt with “herds”
of students stampeding to the personnel office. Over¬
crowded morning classes and disappointed students
gave ample work to Morton’s frenzied guidance
group. Confused programs needed rectifying before
students returned from the break.

Striving to aid students with speech defects, Miss
Miller offered her services at Morton twice a week.
Miss Diener and Mrs. Rotenberg taught handicapped
pupils in the morning and afternoon.

Teachers extended their involvement with students
past dismissal time. Some male teachers gave their
hours on game nights to help collect tickets for
Governor sport events. Other faculty members chap¬
eroned activities and spent time working with stu¬
dents in various clubs and athletic teams.

Late night cups of coffee go down easier when served by a waitress, Mary Ellen George, who delights in smiling with customers.

Dependent upon the marketplace for school
needs, Gregg Costa purchases academic aids.

Emerging through the glass doors the student blends in
with the mass of Saturday shoppers, yet his individual desires
reflect in merchandise carried by the storekeepers.

Besides being consumers, pupils travel to marketplaces to sell
their own product — their availability to work where
they are needed. When daily classes terminate, students become
salesgirls, gas station attendants, waitresses, bagboys.

Regardless of circumstances, students are visible everywhere.
They can be seen on both sides of the store counter.

Students need the businessmen. Businessmen need the students.
No man stands alone in the . . .

ommunity.

Dear Governors,

We did it! Your eyes behold 220 pages of pictures, captions and copy. Our job is done. For over a period of
six months approximately 41 people have devoted over 9840 hours into this book’s completion. Staffers work¬
ed not only their designated hours but also study halls, lunch hours and often late into the night. Once real, but
now in the past, are the many headaches, tears and ideas that went into this annual collection.

Good feelings staff members experienced with this book’s completion coupled with your personal enjoyment
of the collection helps us portray that “no man is an island. .

Sincerely,

Michelle Kik
