CLASS PRESIDENT'S FAREWELL T nm filled with mixed feelings as graduation day approac hes.

I am happy to be nearing the end of my high school education with the r ecollection of all the memorab le times and th e many friend s I have gain ed in uch a short .space of time. I am sarl that graduation will separat e us fr om these tim es and place s.

I \\·ould like to thank the senior cabin et and especially 1\Iiss Puterbaugh, the class sponsor, for the time and effcrt th ey have put forth in making thi s class such a gr eat one. The mann er in whi ch they have organiz ed such activities as th e senior carnival, th e stud ent directory, Adams hours, senior day, commencement , and baccalaure at e may well set an example for the classes to follow.

The senior cabinet could not have accom­Doug Hostrawser pli!:'hed thi s record without th e help and support

of t he entir e senior class . I thank each and every one. To each memher of th e class, I also wish the best in health, wealth. and happin es . Thank you for giving me the honor of serving you as th e pre sident of the John Adams Senior Class of 1690.

-Dou g Ho traw er

From the Past Editor's Desk Thr oughout my high schoo l career my participatio n in extr a

curricular activities - and espec ially my work on the Tower Staff -has been ext r emely r ewardin g. Serving as Editor-in-Chi ef of the Jo hn Ada ms Tower has been a va luab le and beneficial experie nce of of my Renior yea r.

ln t hi s capacity I developed a keen sense of r esponsibili ty, and I also had an oppo rtunity to test my manag eri a l ab ili ty. Becaus e there had to be a Tower each Frida y morning, I could never post ­pone editing copy and plott ing the paper. By writing editor ials, head lining , and editing copy, I gradua lly learned th e fundamentals of jou r nalism.

Th e persona l reward s of se rving on the Tower Staff are unlim­it ed. Thr ough t he paper l contact ed man y different people with varied inte r ests, and th r ough the se acq uaintan ces I hav e vicariou sly broadened my own expe ri ence . 'f he friendships I hav e mad e thr oug h Tower and the wonderfu l unity of t he staff are int ang ible benefits that can never be taken from me . Eac h Fri day I expe ri enced a feel ing of sat isfac ti on and accomplishment as the newspapers were r ead by the st udent body.

Although, as Ed itor -in- Chief, I rece ived much of the credit and many of the compla ints for t he newsp aper , without the ab le assis ­tanc~ of othe rs, t he Tower could not have been pub lished . My staff has been everythin g I could des ire, and I wish to thank them for t heir faithfuln ess and cooperation. Th e editorial staff, Sandy J anov­sky, Carolyn Bird, and Al From accomp lished much of t he work that is necessary before a Tower may go to t he print er. Th e ab le ass is­tance of the bus iness staff consisting of Mary Reber, Sue Val enti ne, and Becky Rogers was re sponsible fo r muc h of the "behin d th e scenes" work.

Our sponso r , Miss Walsh , deserve s our complete and heartfelt thank s. We greatly appreciated her able guid­ance and unique idea s in planning our issues .

Camblin Gives Council Summary Th e John Adams Stude nt Counc il for the yea r 1959-1960 has j ust

completed a successfu l yea r. The fo llowin g are the four reasons for making this success possib le:

1. The capable and competent leade rship of the Board members. They have molded the Council into an efficient and smooth running body to carry out the major act ivit ies of the Stu ­dent Council.

2. l\Ir. John Schutz, the Student Counci l spon­sor . Ile kept us informed and guided us throughout the year.

3. The invaluable help of the faculty and ad­mini stration . Whenever they were approach ed, t hey gave us excellE;nt cooperation and advic e.

4. The supp ort given to the Council from the stud ent body and school organizations . The best exampl e of thi s is the Tower who gave us space in

la rk Camb lin

the paper to brin g inf,irmation, explanations , and advice to the stu­dent body.

The Student Counci l opened the school year with the Sho-r­Round, headed by Bill Hamme l:!. The new freshmen wer e shown how to use and open the lockers; were given inform atio n on school pr ocedur es, and wer e conduct ed on a tour of the schoo l. There was an orientat ion program presented to t he newcomers. At th is time they were introduced to Mr . Roth er mel, Mr. Nelson, t he counselors , the nur se , and other administrative heads.

"Back-to-~c hool" Assemb ly Pre ented The first all-st udent body assemb ly wa s the "Back-to-Sch ool"

Asse mbly plann ed and presented by Caro lyn Dird . Th e speake rs

A NEW AGE As we , the class of 1960, stand

ready to receive the reins of the world, we are faced with a vast chal ­lenge . This challenge is not ju st the Rus sian thre at, or the spa ce problem, nor heart disease, nor over -popula­tion , but it is the Cha llenge of Intel ­lect, the Challe nge of the World itself. That is , we are confronted w ith the problem of the betterment, the im ­provement, the fulfillment of the ex ­isting world in all concei vable ways .

We must , in order to a ccomplish this goal, eliminate certain basic ob­stru ction s. These obstacles are not material blocks to our progress, but in s tead are intangible barriers which must be remo ved . We must remo ve indifferenc e, indecision, intellectu al torpor , lift the heavy yoke of preju­dice and hypo crisy, do away with prudery , de votion to the archaic fear of inno av tion, and idiotic adulation of traditions and attitude s of days gone by , all these mu st be elimin a ted , for they im pede the progres s toward the ulti mat e goal of humanity, th e achievem ent of the "perfect" world. Of cour se, this term is nece ssarily vague , for it may have a multitude of connotation s, but ultimately it will define it self .

The aforementioned are common attitudes and practice s of the present ­day society , and we may find evidence of each, to a greater or lesser propor­tion , in our surroundings . But we , the new gene ration, must not be bur­dened by such hinderance s. We mu st strike boldly forth into new a nd chal­lenging situations , arm ed wi th know l­edge , foresight, faith , courage to make change s, and an inten se cu riosity . Let us emp loy discretion , but not be re­tarded by it ; let us be open -minde d, but not to the elimin atio n of all pre­vious ideals; let us use to the fullest extent th ose inn ate gifts endowed to us; let us look forw ard, unencumber ­ed, to a New Age .-Dave Micke lsen .

wer e the former Student Council pre sident, Jim Daniel, and Mr. Roth­erm el. Th e new faculty member s we re prese nted to the student body.

Th e Leadership Clinic under the di­rection of Cathy 'Fi schgrund present­ed a very interesting and informative program. We were fortuna te and pr ivileged to have as our main speak­er Mr. Thomas Bath . Th e discu ssion speakers, Mrs . Nate Levy, Mr s. Sally Swintz , Mrs . Lewis Howe, and Mr . Frank Sullivan added much to th e succe ss of the Leadership Clinic.

Th e "Sh are-Their -F are Drive" con­du cted by Judy Eich again this year met with success . The school coll ect­ed over $800 with Mr . Rensberger' s home room c o 11 e c t i n g the most money . In the "kick off" assembl y, some "football" players passed a ba s­ket to raise money and promote th e drive in its first days.

The se next committee chairmen do not get into the public eye as much as others, if ever. The assemblies committee hea ded by Katie May has the important job of scheduling th e assemblie s for the com ing year . How­ard Rosenbaum who was in charge of Student Council sa les worked hard and long in comp letin g a successful year . Terry Lehr , publicity chairm an . worked on the all-city high school show, Teen-o-Scope . Of course the "Little 500" is not to be forgotten . Carl Phillinoff , cha irm a n, pl a nned hi s proj ect well and Jed it to success .

This year' s Council cou ld not ha ve been the smooth running mach ine it wa s, if it weren't for the board mem­bers and my fe llow officers . The y were all supe rb in fulfilling th eir du­ties. I rece ived ma ny complement s on these people and the activities that they were in charge of. Some people said that the activ iti es were th e best in the schoo l 's history.

Seniors Donate 400 Hours lo Community The 1959-60 Adams Hours project was headed by Dan McCoy, vice ­

president of the Senior Class. The program of Adams Hour s was introduced and initiated at Adams three years ago by Pete Sherman, president of the Cl11ss of '57. The purpose of the project is to give Adams senicrs the oppor­tunity and respon sib ility to give service to the community through the do­nation of time and effort.

At the beginning of the school year Dan got in touch with members of the Community Fund organization , a local group who gave to Dan the names of people who could use the help of the seniors.

The first project was held in December in conjunction with the March of Dimes Drive . Twenty seniors worked in pairs at outlying shopping areas throughout the ctiy a sking for donati ons and handing out small vest crutch­pins to contributers. The seniors worked for five hours earning 100 Adams Hours . They collected approximately $137.00.

In Februar y, fifteen seniors worked for the Heart Foundation delivering needed materials to area captains to be used in a city -wid e fund - raising drive. The seniors them selves collected $94.00. The participant s in th is particular project accumulated 75 hou rs .

Wh ile working for the Heart Foundation, the group came in contact with Mrs . Leads of the same organization . She was so impressed by the Adams Hour s program that she presented it to the Govern or and bis council of Youth Advancement for the State of Indiana.

May , 1960, found twelve industrious senio rs cleaning up Camp Millhouse for underprivileged children. This worthwhile project was done in con­junction with the K iwanis Club of South Bend. Seventy - two hou rs were added to the fast g rowing total .

For the past several weeks five senior boys ha ve repaired, cleaned-up, and painted a semi-life -s ize doll house for the Mental Health League. They ea rned a total of 65 hours on th is project.

The total number of Adams Hours earned by the time of this publication is 312. This is at lea st 12 hour s more than the alleged total of 300 by the Class of '59. There are st ill two mo re camp sites which the seniors plan to clean up. The completion of these two additional projects will bring the number of Adams Hour s amassed by tho Class of '60 to nearly 400

One of th e first questions I am often asked about my impressions of the U. S. is with what have I been dis ­ap pointed or what changed my ideas about Americans . Maybe this is easy to answe r by any person . .. but me. Before I came her e I had quite a good idea of what the U. S. is like, so my impressions haven 't changed much . I knew that Chicago was not all gangsters and that TV ,vasn·t all Ana Vencenti westerns (or is it?)

Something I was not expecting was so many small inventions-usually found in houses-little things to make life comfortable . Americans seem to be involved in an ever -l ast­ing race to make lile comfortable, so they invent can -openers that need plenty of space, miles of cords and expensive electricity to replace the simple hand can openers and hun ­dreds of pretty things to make life comfortable. They even go so far as trying to anticipate dog's desire s by manufacturing ham flavored bones and vegetable - flavored cookies for them. I think it would be so much easie r to stop the r ace and live COM­FORTABLY.

Student Council Summary (Continued from Page 2)

election of the Student Council of ­ficer,,. A program, "Wh at to Expect at High School, " was presented at the four feeder junior high schools in conjunction with the Code of Ethics Committee . The Teen-o-Scope show was presented for the first time under guidance of the School City Recreation Department. There bas also been an inter-city Recreation Committee established . The Student Exchange Day with the othe r high sch ools was held in April.

A Growing St udent Government As the school changes and grows,

the Council must also change and adapt itself to the growing student body. So that it might better serve th e school and the student body, there have been two , with a possible third , amendments to the Constitu ­tion. The first amendment reduced the repre sentation from two repre ­sentatives to one representative from each home room. The second amend­ment stated that the freshmen will elect their representative in the sec ­ond semester. The third amendment in the making, is to establish a new and up - to-date nominating commit ­tee to replace the inadequate obsolete plan.

I think that one of our primary aims this year was to leave the Coun ­cil in the same or in better condition that we found it. We tried to estab ­lish a firmer foundation for next year's council members so that they may go on to bigger and better pro­jects -

However, the success of this yea r' s Council or next year's Council lies in the hand s of the student body. The student body elects the officers · it sho uld support and make the of~ ficers do their very bes t .

A leader is only as good as hi s fo llow ers .

were also new to me, and I learned too late what their purpose s were, or else I would hav e joined more of them . I found them to be good ways to keep st udent s in healthy activities and to help them know their teachers outside of the classroom.

Although some thin gs were new to me, I entered both the American and school life very enthusiastically, and I have been rewarded with "lots of fun" and amusing experiences. (My sister, Sue Mueller , is one of the "am using " experiences.)

The things I have learned he re I will trea sure for all my life , and the friendliness of the American people st ands above all of them. And the friendliness of the Adams Eagles will be in my heart , forever.

MARC 'S ffi'IPRESS IONS Before I came here, I tryed to get

rid of all the pictures of America that I had from different places, for I wanted to see objectively what t he States r eally are.

The first days, I was really fasci ­nated by the TV network, and the Smiths will say that I certain ly have not chan g­ed.

The most im ­portant discov­ery for me was the hambur ger. It is reall y very good. In Switz ­erland, we do not have it, and Marc Volland I may say that I like that kind of food very much. Howeve r, there are some dishes I cannot toler ate-Why do you prepa r e a tossed salad with peaches, apples and dre ssing which ha s a horrible taste? You kill all the flavor .

I went to Chicago seve r al times . It is terribly big. Once Phil and I were lo st on the subwa y in Decem ­ber. It was terribly cold .

Concerning dates, I know how im­portant this is to you . I was really surpri sed t o see couples going alone. Back in the Old Country the folks would not like it; we are obliged to stick in groups under the control of some adults . Here teenagers really have their own lives. They go to dances and parties . I like it here much better than Switzerland.

The first time I saw the school and what we were doing there, I found that we did not have many subjects. Concerning this point I have one criticism . In high school you choose you r own subjects, and many of you do not exactly know what yo u want to become. So after high school you are obliged to go to college. In my country, we are very specialized and specific. We choose our school ac­cording to what we will become later so il a student cannot afford to go t~ college , he takes a job after high school for which he bas prepared himself .

About your way of life, life ma ­terially is eas ier than in Switzerland but sometimes as you have t oo much ' you expect too much, and you ar~ not quite sat isfied with what you have . From some points life looks easy in America, but we, in Sw itze r­land , are very happ y with what we ha ve.

HA VE DIPLOMA-- WILL TBA VEL Setting: Many places Time: September 1!)60 to Jun e 1961

With my diploma clu tched tightly in my hot grubby littl e paw. I derided to tak£. a trip that would take me ac ross the United Stales. My purpose was to visit my fellow graduates of the Cla ss of '60. The follow ing is an account , in my own words (that's why il's written in the first person), about this trip.

My first stop was ::it Purdue University where Lee Chad en and Sa und ra Daddio served as my guides. Th ey took me over to the Un ion Building where Wf' saw seve ral woo -some two- sames. Sippin' cider together were Lin Hayes and Barb Willi a m on , Paul Knu ckm an an d Vicki Ostr and er, and Jan Miller and CynU1ia Herita ge. ·

We s.:w Bob F eingold flyin g overhead (in a plane- he was the pilot). As passengers he had Bru ce Bar e, Terry Ta lcott , and Ron Mutzl. As we were gaz ing up at the plane ::ind waving like fools we s::iw J err y J ankow ski , Dick Joo sscns, and Jim Cse h being chased by Campus Cops I\1an ·in Cogdell and Mike Kru ege r. It seems they had just blown up the Chemistry Building . Ah well. . . .

Bidding farewell to Lee and Saundra, I bo::irded a bus for Champ:iigne Way ne Lundb erg and Tom Meils trup both of whom ::ire serv ing in the Armed Forces ar.d were on leave. We held an economics r eunion. When we arrived at the campus of the Uni versi ty of Illinoi s who met us but Jim Weir - boy ma th genius. With Jim were andy Weaver end Dan Mc Coy who were visit­ing the U. of I. campu s from Illinoi s We sleyan. We were havir.g a grand ohl time when Pat Biddl e arr ived from Wh eaton. So, being nice and dt scre et, I left Jim and her alone.

I decided then to go sou th . At Ea stern K entucky State I saw Carolyn Tay lor who told me that Jud y Hes ton is a t the Immaculate Hea rt Academy. Ja net Wil son, she sa id, is at Kend all College.

My next stop was Duke University where Jerr y Hobb s, who had gone Bohemian, met me. He informed me - in no uncertain terms - that Char ­maine Willi ams is at Howar d College and that Full erton Junior College had welcomed Dick William s.

Jerry, being the kind, swee t boy th at he is, drove me down to Georgia Te ac.hers' College where we dropped in on Patty Jo Aaron . I left J erry and Patty J o to get acquainted and star ted walking south .

All of a sudden I heard the sound of many hor ses - like a caval ry. It was Jean Barker , who is now a riding stable man1ger, leading a pack of pure bred Arabian horses. Sh e eloquently ur ged me to climb ::iboard - and we rode and we rode and we rode a nd we rode. She told me of some other '60 grads. Jim Hoffer and Pau l Zan ge rle are serdn g in the Armed Forces. Georg e Reith and John Tarwac ki , she told me, have opened a meat store - both were acc~mplis hed butchers.

HIPPITY HOPPIN ' HOMINY GRIT

We stopped in Tam pa, Florida, to water th e horses. Moseyin' down the street was secre tary Ri ta Holm es . With a sh rill shriek she ran over to us and started talking "a mile a minute." She told us that Gayl e Odelius and Sa nd y Ran r hae rt are doing genera l office work. She also sa id that Darl ene SmiU1, Linda Smith, ::ind Na ncy \ Varmotl1 are sec retari es. We app reciated all of thi s info but we had to be going. So . . . we left.

After nbo ut a week (traffic was heavy) we reached Coral Gables, Fl or ida where Mary Lou Albert was basking in the sun and doing some studying on the side.

She told me th at Paul ette Stromb ec k is now happily married and that the notorious Tom Brand ley is at Corpus Christi in Texas where h e i;:; ridin', ropin', and tryin' to sna~ a millionaire's daughter.

Mary Lou decided to trav el with me so we hopped a p lane for Loui siana State Unh·ersity 2.t Baton Rouge where we were to meet Kent Kae ppl er who had just won the NCAA wrestling champion sh ip . Ho ste sses on the plane were Rose mary Apgc r and Rita Barn ette. Also on the plane were mechanic Bill

halle r, tool -d esigner Jim Sjoq uist , and Linda Landy who is a key -pun ch operator (no joke). Jim and Bill told us that Rand y Grant , Chu ck Juha s, Don Marq uardt, D on Me :rers, and John Peterson are doing tool and die wo rk .

We landed at L. S. U. and K ent met us at the airport. He drove us to the new observatory where carpenter Pat Tubb s was putting on the finishing touches. Jo r Kell ogg, world renowned meteor ologist, is to work here. K ent took us to the new medic11l arts building (all buildings in Baton Rouge are new) where Sharnn Rothenber ge r is a dental assista nt. Nur ses there a re Lana

hort , Barb Poulin , Nancy Brinle y, and Pe nny Roorda . Mary Lou and Kent looked like they would prefer to be alone so ... I left to go back to In d iana.

At Rose Polytechnical Institu te in Terre Haute I found Gary Heidt usher ­ing a big musicale in the town auditorium. Jun e Rosens te in had flown (V IA a irpl ane) from Garland Junior College in Boston and was to perform wi th Bob Gran t from M. I. T. Along with them came Barr y Lis s from the Univer­sity of Michigan to serve as June' s personal body guard. With the party came Bobbie's la test gal - Carol Ann Schill er in pink and grey, wearing a raccoon coat. She attends Vassa r College.

Coming down from DePauw for th e performance we re Sue A nderson and Jan ho emak er. From Valpar aiso came Lynda Gumz and He nry Shelton . Bob Mye rs and Doug Hostr aw ser from Valparaiso came with Katie Ostrande1· and Jud y Eich from Hanove r. John Hemphill from Hano ver bro ught Marijane Ritt er from Taylor University. J\larleta Simp son, In diana Ceutral, and Dave Guilliom , Indiana St ate, drove down from Indi a napolis.

Barb Anderson , Suzanne Boggs, and Carol Nace drove down from Muncie w her e they a ttend Ball State Teachers College. At the a uditorium they met and reunionizcd w ith Andy J\fi h a iJ and Ga ry Eag les Crom Man che ste r and Dick Clemmon from E vans ville College

(Illinois that is). On the bus I met

THE NATIVES ARE RE TLE S

Th e program was ju st great but I had to be off- · big week-e nd at I. u . was coming up: Little 500! (Actu a lly it wasn't !"ince it was in the middle of winter, but for the sake of the TOWER, my edito r , and this a r ticle, let' s ju st say th a t.) Steve Rodin and Pat Scheri ng ran up to meet me. I was to room wi th mad -cap Sheila Ham bur g in Smithwood, they told me. When I got there th e place had an abundancy of Ad ams girls - Pri scilla Pi etsc h , Ka thy Schae­fer , Ar lene Eader , and Nan cy Fetters to name but a few. Sheila and I go t rea rly for th e big race.

On the way over we met Terry Lehr and Kent Hedman who being B.M .O.C. (self - alleged) told us that they would tak e us around. Nice of them, eh? Th e versatile Jerr y Gillen was to broadcast the race with the help of Jeff Butler . As we walked we saw and waved to other '60 Adams al um s: S ue Har lan and Ton y Hebron , Jac k Johnson and Juli e John son (co nvenien t ) Dori s Vanct> and J erry Minko , Curt Foste r and Jud y Humphre ys, and No n~ Mi tlo fl' a nd Ir ene Inga lls.

Taking ticke ts at the gate we re Bo yd Thomp son and St.eve Le aders. Once inside we wanted somethin g to cat. Selling "R um and Coca -Cola" were Mar ion Barton and Wilma Stewart. '

The hig race was abou t to begin. What ? More '60 grads? Yu p, all lined up a t the star ting ga te were Bill Brandl ey and M.ike Wa llace . But th at's not all , baron Hey de, Martha Hinkl e, Mary Hor n, and Na ncy Hor va th led cheers as the 4-H girls ... how's that for a play on words? ... What next, I thought - I was totally unprepared - Sara h Lig htn er, the red -h aired golden gi rl of I. U. began prancing before the grands tand!

A scream resounded from the wa lls- Mike (Wallace) had fa llen while rounding a turn. Out from the pit da shed Jud y Carlson and Loi s Down s, bot h nur ses and eager for pr ac tical experience. Bill, being th e only other former Adamsite contender , naturally won the racf' whereupon Jud y Rudi sill , San dy

evern s, ue Stoner , a nd Sue Thom pson a ll led by Sue Va lentin e em erged en ma sse from the grandstand to rush out and congratulate - in whichever way they chose - Bill. r '

As Sheila, Kent, a nd Terr y took me back to the bus s tation they told me of some other '60 cohor ts. Carl Phillipoff , Terry said, is st udying at St. Ed ­wards Univ er sity ; Jim Golba is a fly- boy in thr. Air Force; Marc Volland went back to Switzerl and to finish high school, and Barb o tac k is wo rking at the State School for the Deaf. ~

ROTSA RUCK OHIO ROT SA RUCK

Ab ou t th en my bus came a nd was off again, this time to Ohio. At the Unh·ersity of Cincinnati, Bill Hamme s - budding dGcd ler - met me. Then came the mobbing of Cinci. Fr om Ohio State came Sand y Marrs, Luc y Thib os broke away from big , bad Hiram College, and Janet Love lace drove over from Cincinnati Bible College . Bili told me th a t Bill Grey was doing musical con­rtruction work - sing as you build. Tom Graff ertberge r is now a pri nt er and does bill board adve rti sem ent s, he sa id. Lucy added that Mary Lynne Colle and Sha ron Rantz were now promi nent beautic ians.

I enjoyed my stay in Ohio but I had to be oft again . I decided to take J

train thi s time a nd on it met big Wab ash Caveman, 1\Iark Camblin. He had been visiting Cece lia Tann er who is a receptioni st . Cece lia had recently re­ceived a letter from the "office gang" back in South Bend. Domg office and clerical work are Mars ha Jui ·off, Sa nd y Gyorko s, Jo Aun Pro ud , Sharon her­man, Jud y Tenn yso n, Winnie Ai trh ison, Marye llen Ligge tt , and N ancy Do -uofrio .

MEANWHILE , BACK IN THE BEND

Back home again in South Bend, Mark a nd I were driving down the east side of North Michig a n and whooooom did we see but r::ih-r ah boys Roger Fo ley, Pat Jones , Bob Golomb , Mik;! Hol ste in , and Geo rge We tze l trying to thumb a rirle tack to th e Notre Dame Campus. Ju st before we reached th em two St. Ma ry 's girls came ..;trnllin g by-yup- Mary Reber and Jud y Hehl , so we pickccl them up too . As we jrove them back to their respect ive cam­puses (or is it Campi ?) Mary s:iid th a t she nad hee n in Chi-town the week before and had seen Lil Szewczyk at St. Mary's of Na zareth studying nursing . At lllinoi s Masonic she saw S heila Hoffman , who between tr ips wit h her pa tient s' bed pans (she wants to be a nurse too ) ~aid that Bonnie Ne meth i,; also in Chicago at Patricia Ste vens.

Judy told us that she had talked to Peg gy Stansber ry, a private secretary, who told he r th at Barb Rubin , Jo y Mitc h ell , Pam MHler, Sa ndy Huffm an, Sa ndy Dav is, and Karen Dhoor e ::ire a lso secretari es .

the way they told us that Jerry Pow las is at the Gene ral Motors Institute. Lynn Loutz enWser, Don Sta nfield and Carl Cox are now machinists .

We left the guys to th eir st udi es and went back dow n town . As we pull ed up to a stop light , a!'lother ca r bombed up - kee rect, more Ada ms grads. Gue ss who? Sam "Pr etty Boy " Purd y was w ith Diane "Red " Moffett and Fr ank "Peco" Piechowiak was with Helen "Godiva" Bready . Th ey had just gotten out of class at I. U. Exten sion and told us to fo llow them .

We followed the proce ssion. The latest craze , i t see ms, was roller - ska ting, so roller - skate we did. At the rink we saw other ex tensionites: Jane Bolen ­bau gh and Paul Carroll , Linda Farian an d Barr y Forsythe, Arlene Hardwick and Barry Rumm ell, Bc,·erly Harris a nd Raymon d Sv orec, SaJJy Jami eson and Ca~ Szewczyk , and Kare n Johnson and Bob Sza lay. At int ermiss ion tim e entertainmen t was prov ided by Pate's Pl easing Pr ofoun d Mixed Double-t rio Plu s One : Pat .ra:vlor, Barry Ukele, Dave Soslow sky , Nancy Metzler , Leoni ce Lea ch, Sa ndy Lang el, and Jo yce Longfe llo w. Ah well- they say (I don't know who "they" are) th~t mu sic calms the raging beast.

We finally broke away from the raging beasts and Mark went to get a haircu t ; hi s barber was Danny Burns . Dan ny is a rather popular barber for wh ile we were there Jerry Kend all , now attending Goshen College, and Don B errschop , at th e Coll ege of Commerce came in . Jud y Struck, who is also going to the College of Commer ce a nd Lorraine Kesler who i:; atten ding Bet hel College waite d ou tside fo r the boys .

I spoke wi th Judy a nd Lorai ne for a few morr.ent s. Th ey to ld me that Eve lyn Ashle y, Mary Beth David son , Carol DeLeury , Gail Eagle s, Katherine Goo ley , and Diana Kov ac h are doing office wo rk.

Mark came- out th en with a beautiful new Mohawk and drove me to my house whe re I piC'ked up my C'ar, bade Mark and my parents a hasty adios, and bugged out for the ne ighboring sta te of Mich igan .

HEADING NORTH My first stop was Kalamazoo w here I witnessed an Ind ian wrestling

match: Pat Arehart a nd an Indian of Kalamazoo Coll ege we re putting on an exhibi tion (a nd I do mean exhibition ). I wa lked over to We stern Michigan, which is just a cross town, and saw a rucku s on th e str eet. I guess Bill Bald wi n and Harold Means were pres surin g Frank Brush into signing a petition of one sort or ano ther . . . some peop le n ever change .

It broke up rather quickl y, howe ver, when three young girl s pull ed th e boys apar t a nd dr agged them bodily away. And who were the se thr ee young atl asae (fem inine plu ral for ma sculine p lur al of Atl as - yaas)? They were Beck y Dillon , Mary Lynn Lisk , and Ellamae Baumgartner all the way up from Ball State to vis it the thr ee you ng gen tlem en(?).

When they saw me they dragge d the boys ove r and began ask ing qu estion s a nd th en an swe ring min e (questions that is). Th ey h ad pa ssed thr oug h South Bend on their way up to Kal amazoo a nd had had a lun cheon party with sec ret aries Karen Dhaene , Kathi e Kerner , Barb Kub isiak , Marilyn Locke , Sue l\'IHler, Pat Rice , a nd Juli e Shepa rd.

Th e boys, not to be outdo ne, began t elling me of John Bell a, Jerry Rut ­kows ki , Steve Shee ts, Rob ert Walk er, Larry Teet.er, and Lowe ll Tull ey who are now dar ing dr af tsmen (note a lliter ation). (

I hastily excused myself and drov 2 up to Moo-U . (Michig a n St ate) where Na ncy Ge rber, Steve Mell enge r, and Kat y Ma.y were taking a do- it -now course in modern moo -milki ng. Sue Gobde l was t eac hin g curr en t corn -picking to visi ting student s from the Uni ve rs ity of Michigan , Jani ce Weiss and H'ard Rose nbaum . Joan De Shon from Albion, and Caroly n Bird a nd l vye Carlso n from Hill sda le were taking an extension course in harm onio us hog- ca lling .

I drove back t o South Bend a nd the following day I went to the bank where Maude Fink, Doroth y Nemet h , ;md Barb Gtans were wo rkin g. I we nt to the 'Phil' for lu nch whe re I me t Jud y Te nnyson, Jeann e Scussel , Carol yn Ree d, San dy Sche iman, a nd Sharon Kubi ak who are all busy little olfic:? worker s. Susa n Lundberg is now a sa leswo man . Gail Roe is a typis t and Jud y Mon­t ague is a cashier an d clerk , I found out from Sh a ron Reichard who is in busi­ne ss.

I stopped at the groce ry store and found the manager to be none other than Dominic Caurro . Chuck Ja cobs, a lath e ope rato r , is now going with Emma. Zeider who attend s Vogue Bea uty College, he told me .

I exc used myself and started out the doo r for home when I bumped (lite r­ally) into Bev Johnso n who seemed to be in a great hur ry. She is wo rking for the Telephone Company as a plan t clerk and had come to the sto re to buy some new p lant s.

Off I was again. Thi s tim e I was t o fly to Wisconsin. At the eno rm ous Ben­dix Fi eld I met nu rses -i n-training Pat Boger and Becky Papandri a. and Cath­erine Hartman who is now in reta iling . Wh ile wai tin g for my pl ane we talked. Ed Butl er, th ey sai d hopes to become an engin ee r . Buddy McKn ight plans to go into coach ing ( I don't know wha t kind of coaching he is going into though).

My pl ane arr ived, I boarde d it, a nd took off. At Madi son, Wisconsi n, Sa ndy .Tanovsky a nd Sa ndy Schock, a rd ent s tud en ts at the U. of Wisconsin , met me at the airpor t. Being late in May , the day was rath er warm so they suggested that we take a sw im in Lake Mendota . While padd lin g aroun d in the l&ke we he ar d a great commotion. Looki ng around we saw a brigh t red head, the voice of which kept in sa nely screa ming , "Yo u'r e just trying to ma ke me out a f -0-0-0-0 -l !" Dave Mickelsen had su m up from B- e- e-e-loit.

Thi s was all great fun-drowning Mick -b ut I r eally had to go. I dec ided to hitch a r ide to Iowa. Who shou ld come zocming along jus t about t hen (doi ng 70 m.p .h. in a 25 m.p.h. zone) but Ron Medow , going back to the University oC Colorado where he is going to school.

He drove me to the State University of Iowa to see Sa ndi Baker a nd Cathy Fischgr und. It was a big week-end (but were n't they a ll?) as Pat Bezeredy

Meet the Sponsors An d now honor ab le readers of the

Annajane screams out, "Yogi Bear, is it you ?"

As Yogi and Boo-B oo resume their acquaintance, we spy Ernest "Bu gsy" stu dying the marveis of natu re on the vast playground of our summer place .

Rugged Malmen End With 8-3-1 Record

The wrestling squad , one of the finest ever at Ad ams, finished its successfu l season wit h a r espectable 8-3 - 1 record. Coached by Morris Aronson , the team finished second in the confe rence standings to Cen ­tral .

The 1959-60 varsity was made up of the following boys: Don Smothers , Jerry Durgin , Devon Lundberg, Dick .Joossens, Marvin Cogdell, Tom Mag ­gart, Eric Nelson , Jim Grenert, Ralph Kilowit, Bob Bart on, Don Mitchell, Mark Camblin, John Bella , Doug Ho str awse r, and Steve Mellinger. The co-captain s were Cogdell and Maggart. The enti re squad is ex ­pected to return next year with the exception of seniors Joos sens , Cog­dell , Maggart , Camblin, Bella, Hos­trawse r , and Mellinger .

Adams finished third in the NIHSC meet held in East Chicago on Ja nu ­ary 30 , as the Eagle matmen gave a fine account of themselves . Adams had two individual champions, more than any othe r schoo l except Elkhart. Cogdell and Maggart won their re ­spec tive divisions.

With a total of 57 points, the wrestle rs finished third in the Sec­tional Tournament . The Eagles sent four matmen to the Regional Meet in Lafayette. Adams bad one cham ­pion in Marv Cogdell as he won his twenty-first consecutive match. Smother s, J oossens, and Nelson were runnerups in their divis ions and also compe ted in the Regiona l . Howe ver, all four Adams r ep resentatives we re defeated at Lafayette as they en ­coun tered the best opposition in the state .

C1·oss-Countr y Team Looks Ahead to '60

This year's cross -coun tr y squad had a below-pa r season, ending up ninth in the confe rence wit h a r ecord of one win and eight losses. The thinlie s came in last at the city meet , fifteenth in the conference meet , and tenth at the sectio nal r un.

Th re e senio r runner s will be leav ­ing Coac h Ralph Powell's sq uad. Marvin Cogdell , captain of this year's team, was the top runner this season. The tw o other senio r s are John Hemphill and Jerry Hobbs.

Lettermen this year were Cogde ll , Forr es t Hurlbut, Barry High, Mike Swartz , and Dean John son .

Coach Powell perdicts a much bet­ter seaso n next year for the thinlies . Hurlbut, High , Swartz , and John son will all be back next yea r to boost Powell's hope s.

Link smen Wind Up Second in ENIHSC

The Adams goll team experienced one of the finest seasons in recent yea rs . They ended the season wi th a re spectable 8-4-2 reco rd, entitling th em to second pla ce in the confer ­ence standings. One of the brightes t momen ts thi s year came wh en the lin ksmen whipped LaPorfte 81h-61h. Th is was the Sli cers' only loss th is se ason as they had won 14 matc he s

INEXPE RIENCED GRID TEAM HAS 4-5 MARK

Although the fin al record of four wins and five losses might not indi ­cate it, the 1959 football season could be termed a successful one for the John Adams Eagle s wh en severa l facts are considered. First of all, this was the fir st season for the Eagles under new head coach Bob Scannel l. Also to be taken into consideration is the fact that only five lettermen returned from the team that won seven contests in nin e star t s in 1958. These inc 1 u de d co-captain s Doug H ostra wse r and Steve Mellinger , J ohn Bella, Mark Camblin , and Dave Stout. Pla ye r s with little pr evious experience were required to plug many gaps on the sta r ting eleven as well a s to make up the entire second unit .

Adams began thei r season by de­feating a weak Washington-Cla y out ­fit by a 20-0 score .

On September 19, the Eagle s we re handed their first loss under Coac h Scannell by th e Washington Panthers by a 28-12 count

On Frida y, September 25, Adams downed the Red skins of F ort Wa yne North Side 26-20.

On Saturda y, October 3, Adams played probably its finest game , though in defeat , against traditional city-foe Central. The Ea gles put up a tremendou s figh t befo re bowing to the state's top - ranked team by a score of 12-0.

On Octob er 9, the Eagles journe yed to Mish awaka and handed the h ost Maroons a 27-7 defeat .

Eight days later , the Eagl es played h ost to Riley 's winless Wildcats and were fortunate to come away with a tight 7-6 victor y.

Th e El kh art Blu e Blazers handed Adams its third loss of the season on October 28, by rolling up a 20-0 count .

On October 30 , the Ea gles pla yed a very rugged game with the Red­ski ns of Goshen befor e dropping a 6-0 deci sion .

Adams closed out its 1959 football (Con tinued on Page 10, Column 1)

Track T earn I-las Excellent Season

The 1960 Adams track squad fin­ished the season with a record of 5 wins an d 5 losses in dual meet com ­petition. This was a considerable im ­provement over the previou s yea r whe n the Eagle s failed to win a single meet. Pr ospects for the 1961 season are on the bright side inasmuch as this year's squa d consisted largely of sophomores and juniors.

During the ye ar the Eagl es gained victorie s over LaPorte. Goshen , Wa shington, Penn, and Rile y, and finished stron gly by winning their la st three meets .

The Eagl es al so finished second to South Bend Central io the annual city track meet , while the freshmen won their division of the meet.

Team Captain Andy Mihail es tab ­lished a new school record in 180-yard low hurdl e event by turning in a time of :21, thus breaking the pre­vious mark held by J im Sostack of :21.5.

Young Eagle Nine Takes 7, Drops 11

Adams Hi gh 's baseball team m its last season under Coach Cas Swartz won seven game s and lost eleven . The Eagles were 3- 5 in ENIHSC p lay .

For the most part t he 1960 nine wa s com po sed of undercla ssmen. Onl y four seniors were on the squad. Captain and th ird baseman John Bella , second baseman Larry Moore, cente r fielder Bill Gr ey, and reserve outfielder Tom Meilstr up will gradu­ate this year. Bella has been a three­yea r regular at Adam s.

After losing fou r of thei r first five starts, the Eagles came back strong to capture four in a row , only to !alter again in late season.

With fourteen boy s return ing for action next season, prospects look enco uraging for new Coa ch Don Tru ex, who will take over for the retiring Swartz.

THESE EIGHT BOYS HAVE CAPTAINED their res pective teams through their 1960 seas on . Kneeling are Steve Mellinger , footba ll : Doug Hostrawser. football; John Bella. , baseball; and Dick Clemmon s, bask etball. Pictured be­hind them are Tom Maggart , wrestUng ; Marvin Cogdell, wrestling and cross­country ; Kent Kaeppler , golf ; and Bill Hammes , swimmJng. Missing were Andy Mihail, track ; Jim Fischer, tenni s; and Tom Brandley, swim.ming-.

Adams ENIDSC Championship Teams

The Adams baske tb a ll te am of Coac h "Varren Seaborg, center, won the fir st cage ENIB C titl e in th e sc hool 's histo r y with a n 8-1 loop record . Flank ­ing eaborg are managers Bruce Jur gov an and Mike Kre uge r . Members of .!he squa d a re Paul Levy, Dirk Clemm on , Buddy l\lcKnight , T err y Miller , Dave

tout , Ed Butl er , J ark Johnson , Larr y l\loore, Sam Dair y ko , Mickey Stri ckl en, and Dave Sink .

HOOPSTERS GAIN FIRST TITLE To say that the 1959-60 basketball team at John Adams was the greatest

in the sc hool's hi story would be the under.statement of the year. This team broke almo st every existing team record at Adams , and individuals on it did the same . Th e cage rs coached brilliantly by Warren Seaborg finished with a 19-4 record for the season and the first EN IHSC title in the history 'Jf Adam s. In league play the Eagle five boasted an 8- 1 iedge r .

According to all pre -season prediction s, th e Eai;les were supposed to be: nothing more than an inexperienced ball club. Only Lee McKnight remained from the seiJson before.

Eag les Start Fast How ever, Seaborg brought the Eagles away from the starting gate with

amazing speed . With McKnight leading the way, the Eagles opened with a 64-48 win over Sheridan . Then Center Ed Butler came into his own and led the Eag les to a 75-50 triumph ove r highly touted Lew Wallace of Gary .

As the season rolled along each of the other three starters Dick Clem­mons, Larry Moore , and Sam Dairyko found himself, and by the middle of December the Adams cag ers had posted a 6-0 mark with additional wins over Washington -Cla y, Terre Haute Gerstmeyer, Nappanee , and Goshen. The Goshen win was their first in conference play.

Then the st reak ended. Michigan City's powerful Red Devils knocked off the Eagl es and seemed a cinch to repeat as loop titlist.

In the Mishawaka Holiday Tournament, th e Eagles were upset by Middle ­bury, and many thought this to be the end of what could have been a suc­ces sful season. But th e Eagl e bounced back to whip P eru in the consola ­tion game of the tourney and were beaten only once more during the regular season.

After defeating LaGrange , Illinois , th e Eagle s re sumed thei r ENIHSC play by beating rugged Mishawaka to begin a seven-game C()nference win streak. A win over P en n Town ship followed on the day.

By this time the Eagl es were carrying along an impressive 10-2 mark and were rated among the best teams in the sta te .

The highlight of the seaso n, up to that point, came on J anuary 14, when the Eagles conquered Ccnt ral 's Bear s for the first time since 1953 by a 63-56 count. In this game McKnight played the greatest game in his brilliant four -year varsity career as he tallied 35 points .

Eag les Win Six Straight After being soundl y thra shed by powerful Gar y Roosevelt, the Ea gles

began a six -game winning stre ak which was to carry them to their first loop championship . LaPorte was the firs t victim, and thi s win coupled with Mishawaka's upset of Michigan City vaulted the Eagles into a first-place tie in the conference. In succ ession the Adams five knocked off league ad­versaries Riley, Washington. Elkhart, and For t Wayne North, in addition to a non-conference rout of St. Jo e. When Fort Wayne North nicked Michigan City, Adams bad itself its first ENIHSC title .

Thus , the Eagles completed th1:: regular campaign with a brilliant 17-3 slate .

The y extended their win st reak to eight ga mes with wins over Lak eville and Mishawaka in sectional play. Then the Eagles had their first bad game in half a season and fell to St . Jo e 53-51.

The 19-4 record was an Adams record as was the eight -game win st reak. In addition the Eag les whipped all their twin- cit y rivals , another first.

McKnight set th e individual scorin g record for a ca reer and won the conlerence scoring title. In addition he was selected for the North All-Star

(Continued on Page 10, Column 2)

In the ir f irs t yea r und er Coach Bob Scan nell , the Adams sw immin g team t ied for the ENIHSC titl e with city-riva l Ce ntral. Th e eagles b eat all con­ferenc e co mp et ition except the Bears wit h whom the y tied. In a ddition to be­ing conferen ce co-ch ampion s, the Seag les were champ ions at th e cit y mee t, ru,merups at th e conference meet , and fifth in th e state me et .

SEAGLES TIE BEARS FOR CROWN The 1959-60 swimming team was a real surprise this year under new

coach Bob Scannell. The Eagle s captured the City Title , and also tied Cen­tral for th e Confe rence Crown. ThE' team placed second ii : the conference mee t, and fifth in th t: state. It concluded iti: season with a respectable record of nin e wins , one los!', and one ti e.

Three se niors will be missed by 11ext year's squad . Tom Brandle y, the team's most valuabl e player and co- captain , compiled a grand total of 131 points during th e season. In conference play he finifhed first eighteen times , second three time s, and third only once . At the City Meet Tom finished second in both the 40-ya rd fr ees tyle and the 100-yard freestyle . At the Award s Assembly Brandl ey received a fourth-year monogram and the most valuable player award .

Bill Hammes , the other co-captain, is another senior who is graduating thi s spring. Bill compiled 76 points for the squad, capturing eleven firsts and eight seconds. He finished second in the 100-yard breaststroke in the city meet , the conference meet, and the state meet. Hamm es was also a member of the medley relay team Bill received a third-year monogram at

Young Tennis Tea m Looks to Next Year

The 1959 J ohn Adam s tennis team wa s very young with practically no experience. Th e 1958 squad, which copped the ENIHSC championship, was heavily hit by graduation. Since most of this year's team will be re ­turning, next season should produce a fine squad .

Jim Fische r , the only returning letterman , played first man . Vic Var­go was second man, and Jim Hull, who displayed the best performance winning si x matches and dropping one, played third man . Others who saw action in the doubles matches included Ed Butl er, Tom Ries, and Tom Win slow. Butler and team mates Terr y Miller and Howard Rosenbaum are seniors.

Coached by Erni e Kaeppler , the netmen played another tough sched­ule this season. They won one meet , lost five, and tied one . Th e victory was posted over Fort Wayne North Side , and the tie was with Misha ­waka. The Eagles fell at the hand s of Cent ral, Riley , Elkhart , Michigan City , and LaPorte .

Monograms we re won by Fi scher, Vargo, and Hull . Fischer was the 1959 cap ta in, and Hull was the most valuable playe r . Rosenbaum won a four -year service award .

the Awards Assembl y, along with the captain's s tar.

Bob Grant is the third senior on this year's team . Bob captured 41 points for the squad thi s year. Grant won six firsts, four seconds, and six thirds in conference competition . He received a sweater thi s yea r .

The Seagles wound up in a tie for the ENIHSC title with Central . Both teams had 8-0-1 loop marks . In fact the teams could not have been more evenly matched as they both rolled over all other ENIHSC competition and then tied their dual meet.

Hi ghlight of the season was a 55-31 conquest of city -ri val Riley. Thi s marked the first time in eight sea ­son that the Sea gles had beaten the Wildcat s. In thi s meet junior Jim Bu sse set a new record for the 100-yard breaststroke.

Oth er monogram winne rs in swim­ming were Dave Davi s, Dick Shore , Tom Toepp, Don Hartke, R andy Wel sh, and Jim Bu sse.

Coach Scannell is lookin g forward to an extremely succes sf ul campaign next year . In addition to the return of the lettermen mentioned above, Coach Scannell can look with joy to two othe r outstanding performers , Paul Klaer , and Allen Callum . Both of th ese boys were dep rived of mono­grams only because there are added requirements for under classmen who win letters .
