Four    attend    government    seminars     '^e^^i,tnatimComfriaed^m<^tU<f 


by  Marty  Miller 

During  Ihe  week  of  June  16-23,  ihroe  Elmhuisl 
seniors  were  among  765  girls  from  tfiroughooi 
Indiono  ollending  Girls'  Slale  ol  Indiono  Stole 
Universiiy,  Terre  Houie.  Tfie  girls  were  Tino 
Fosler.  Hollv  Wilier,  and  Leslie  Roymer,  Senior 
S,e.e  Morgan  was  ihe  only  EHS  siodeni 
oiiending  Boys'  Siole  ihe  previous  week  ol  llie 
some  campus. 

Wtron  asked  whor  t>e  belie.ed  lo  be  lire 
purpose  of  his  week's  sioy  ol  Boys'  Slale,  Stove 
Morgon  exploined,  "Boys'  Stole,  as  well  os  Girls' 
Stole,  is  set  tjp  for  high  school  seniors  to  goin 
experience  and  understanding  in  politics  ond 
government,  and  also  to  build  friendships 
omong  complete  strongers.  " 

Soon  ofte.  orriving  on  the  15U  compos,  the 
Girls'  State  participants  were  divided  into  tv/o 
political  ponies.  Half  of  the  girls  became  ifie 
Noliorolists  ond  the  other  the  Federolists.  Along 
with  two  seporote  potties,  the  girls  were  olso 
divided  into  cities  and  counties.  After  the  girls  m 
these  new  districts  became  acquainted  with 
ren/one  and  after  state  conventions  were  held. 


.    look    piece. 

During  these  various  elections  Tina  Foster  was 
chosen  OS  o  representative  to  the  House  of 
Representatives,  Holly  Miller  was  elected  o 
deputy  county  coroner,  and  Leslie  Roymer  was 
chosen  os  both  city  choirmon  and  a  slate 
senotor.  While  at  Boys'  State  Steve  Morgan  was 
elected  as  a  city  and  county  councilmon  He  olso 
ran  for  slate  senator  but  wos  unsuccessful  >n  is 
attempt. 

Besides  leorning  guile  o  bit  oboui  government 
In  Iheir  week's  stay,  oil  lour  EHS  participonts  m 
this  summer's  Girls'  and  Boys'  Stole  progroms 
agreed  that  they  had  gomed  a  better 
understanding  of  people  in  generol.  Senior 
Leslie  Roymer  summed  this  idea  up  by  stating, 
"The  sisterhood  was  unbelievable.  II  was  just 
token  for  gronted  that  everybody  wos 
everybody's  friend." 

Senior  Tina  Foster  olso  added  to  this  thought 
by  concluding,  "Any  girl  who  gels  the 
apportunity  to  attend  Girls'  Stole  should  go 
becouse  not  only  does  it  give  you  o  bettor 
understanding  of  our  government  but  you  toke 
owoy  with  you  friendships  that  wi"  lost  forever  "

"It  was  a  good  ploce  to  work  but  still 
hove  fun,"  cJeclored  bond  director 
Rondy  Brugh. 

The  Morchtng  Trojons  and  Trojan 
Singers  spent  lost  week  ol  Contp 
LuLendy  in  the  mountains  near  Cloy 
Cily  Kentucky.  The  camp  was  recently 
converted  from  a  resort  motel  into  o

Among  the  facilities  ore  horsebock

and     the     most     populor     of     all     - 
swimming. 

Recreation  was  second  only  to  the 
work  thot  wos  done.  Members  of  both 
muslcol  orgonizollons  practiced  and 
worked  approximately  eight  hours 
every  doy. 

The  marching  band's  first

bright,  enthusiastic!?)  new  faces  lo 
Elmhurst  as  the  lorger  part  of  o  481 
member  sophomore  closs  undertook 
Ihe  task  of  pre-registrotion 

"Things  v/ent  pretty  smoothly  all  the 
way  around,"  commented  Mr. 
Horstmeyer.  The  complete 

orgonizotion  led  to  Ihe  almost 
complete  lock  of  confusion.  Aside 
from  the  schedule  change  line,  few 
oreos  bottlenecked  the  progression  of 
Ihe  students  throughout  the  line  during 
Ihe  week. 

By  Friday  afternoon,  about  75%  of 


Ihe  EHS  population  hod  hit  the  14 
checkpoints  which  mode  up  the 
regislration. 

Total  enrollment  for  the  '74-'75 
school  year  was  found  to  be 
opproxlmotely  1265,  about  130  under 
last  year's  census.  The  iunior  and 
senior  class  will  be  mode  up  of  430 
and  400,  respectively. 

Both  Ihe  alhlelic  and  publications 
departments  were  pleased  with  the 
response  received.  Mr.  Bienz  reported 
that  ticket  soles  were  well  up  over  lost 
year's  figures,  ond  Mrs.  Hoylman 
approximoted  400  yeorbook- 
newspaper  soles.

the  Lochness  Inn  on  Elmhurst  Drive,  for 
a  picnic  to  welcome  new  members

new  classes 


Elmhurst 
begins 

anew 


by  Barb  Harmon 

One  aspect  of  Elmhurst  that 
changes  every  year  is  the 
curriculum.  This  year  students 
can  expect  to  find  cJifferent 
cncJ  somewhat  unique  classes 
hove  been  added. 

The  consumer  ed  class  may 
prove  on  interesting 

undertaking      for      both      Mr, 
Arland     Reinhard     and     Mrs, 
Roma    Jean    Bradburn,    who 
will  be  teaching  it;  consumer 
ed  will  be  taught  sometimes 
under     two     sections     and 
sometimes        jointly.        Mr, 
Reinhard    will    be    instructing 
the  business  port  of  the  course 
while  Mrs,  Bradburn  will  deal 
with     the    home    economics 
aspect.     But     when     subjects 
come    up    of     importance    to 
both    areas,    the    classes    will 
merge. 

A  second  major  addition  is 
the  photography  class  to  be 
tought  by  Mr.  Dan  Goss.  Mr. 
Goss,  who  spent  port  of  the 
summer  taking  o  photogrophy 
course  himself,  will  be 
teaching  approximately  25 
students     about     both     the 


technical  ond  artistic  sides  of 
picture  taking.  The  doss 
have  the  odded  advantage  of 
J  new  photo  lob  which  has 
been  set  up  on  a  temporary 
bosis. 

English  electives  added 

There   ore   olso   some   new 
offerings     in     the     elective 
English   courses.   A   new   nine 
week  course  in  psychological 
literature,  involving  studies  of 
such  books  OS  /  m  0<,   You're 
OK   wil!  be   coupled  with   an 
effective    reading    class    the 
second  nine   weeks.   Another 
cJuo     course     is     American 
Minorities        and        Career 
Commumcottons.    During    (he 
first  nine  weeks,  the  members 
will  delve  into  contemporary 
works  by  and  about  American 
minorities.  The  last  port  of  the 
course  will  involve  instruction 
in  business  correspondence. 

The  final  supplement  to  the 
English  program  is  a  new 
study  on  children's  literature. 
Such  clossics  as  Alice  in 
Wonderland  will  be  looked  at 
from  on  adult  standpoint  to 
perceive  the  deeper 

meanings  in  the  novels.

flowers  to  be  presented  to  the 
1974  homecoming  queen. 


Elmhurst  will  be  continuing 
the  progress  made  lost  year  in 
boosting  spirit.  The  plans  for 
homecoming  octivilies  are  in 
process. 

The  theme  for  this  year's

went  to  the  senior  class. 

Entrants  in  the  float  parade 
will  fill  out  opplications 
available  in  the  office  and 
returned  to  the  office.  This 
year  there  will  be  no  limit  on 
how  much  con  be  spent  on  a 
single  float. 

On  the  afternoon  of 
September  27,  during  sixth 
period,  the  floats  will  proceed 
from  the  Elmhurst  parking  lot 
out  to  Ihe  Elmhurst  track 
where  students  will  be  able  to 
watch  the  activities.  Order  of 
the  entries  will  be  designated 
by  shop  teacher,  Mr.  Jim 
Lambert.

Looks       at    74-75 


new  building 


This  year  Elmhurst  has  taken 
on  o  new  look.  The  school  is 
changing  borh  internally  and 
externally,  and  one  of  (he 
most  obvious  of  these  changes 
(S  the  addition  of  the  new 
othletic  building. 

The    recently    completed 

focilities  wilt  be  put  to  use  by 

the  boys'  football,  tennis  and 

cross  country  teams;  however, 

(     the     girls'      teams     will      not 

employ    it.    It   will    house    the 

coaches'      office,      additional 

locker     rooms     and     storage 

space     —     all     things     several 

't.     coaches     have     expressed     a 

is      need  for, 

ly  According      to      Mr.      Jim 

Lambert,  the  new  building  is  a 

le      vast   improvement  over  what 

al      ihe  teams  had  in  years  past. 

le     He  explained   that   it  offered 

much  more  room  than  the  old 

iq     set-up  and   the  extra  storage 

It     space,   he  said,   was   needed 

■e      badly.    This,    along    with    the 

,d      bigger    coaching    office    and 

)f      generally  proving  itself  better, 

II      make      up      most      of      the 

advantages      of      the      new 


building,  he  believes. 

Courts  ready  soon 

The  other  new  addition 
which  has  changed  the 
physical  appearance  of 
Elmhurst  is  the  tennis  courts. 

Located  adjacent  to  the 
othletic  building,  the  courts 
will  be  used  by  both  the  girls' 
ond  boys'  tennis  teoms.  They 
won't,  however,  be  open  to 
the  general  public  during 
summer,  after  school  or  on 
Saturdays  os  they  have  been 
reserved  for  team  use  only. 

The  courts,  though  not 
finished  yet,  should  probably 
be  completed  around 
September  14.  The  asphalt 
was  laid  August  14,  and  30 
days  are  required  before  the 
facilities  can  be  put  to  use 
effectively. 

Both  the  athletic  building 
and  the  tennis  courts 
represent  a  new  phase  of 
Elmhurst.  Though  Elmhurst 
may  be  one  of  the  oldest 
schools  in  the  city,  it  is  still 
changing. 


new  president 


Senior  Derek  Paris  will  assume 
the  job  of  preddeni  of  Elmhurst's 
student  council  this  year.  Derek  Is 
also  a  member  of  the  school's 
track  and  footboll  teams. 


by  Nancy  Beadie 

This  year's  student  council 
president  was  born  in 
Washington  D.C.  It  might 
seem  like  he  was  destined  for 
politics.  He  doesn't  think  so. 
Derek  Paris  doesn't  consider 
running  for  student  council  as 
being  particularly  political. 

Derek  first  became  involved 
in  student  council  because  he 
wanted  to  be  in  the  position 
"to  see  what  was  getting  done 


and  whot  wasn't.  He  ran  for 
president  because  he  hoped 
to  improve  the  condition  of  a 
freshly  started  student 
government.  But  he  doesn't 
plan  to  go  into  politics  ofler 
high  school.  He's  presently 
considering  going  into  a 
social  science. 
Public  relations  help 

Looking  back  on  the 
election,  Derek  attributed 
some  of  his  votes  to  the 
speech  assembly,  when 
"students  could  see  who  was 
who  and  identify  ideas".  He 
cited  one  doubt  he  had  oboul 
his  winning  -•  that  his 
opponent  had  been  Vice- 
President,  thus  knowing  more 
about  oil  the  projects  going 
on.  Derek  made  on  effort  to 
meet  and  talk  with  as  many 
students  as  he  could  in  the 
halls  to  overcome  this. 

Derek's  hopes  for  this  yeor's 
student  council  work  include 
getting  more         student 

involvement.  He  suggests 
uniting  clubs  with  student 
council  by  having  their 
representatives     at     different 


council  meetings.  This  way 
they  could  interject  their  ideas 
in  discussions  and  make  the 
general  student  body  more 
aware  of  student  council 
projects.  Derek  also  proposed 
that  Elmhurst  sponsor  a  city- 
wide  arcade  with  television 
and  radio  advertising  to 
encourage  student 

ottendance. 
Knowing  people  Is 
Important 

Derek  said  he  doesn't  feel 
the  students  hod  a  good  time 
lost  year.  At  Ihe  risk  of 
"sounding  like  his  parents", 
he  placed  much  of  the  value 
in  high  school  not  in 
academics,  but  in  getting 
olong  with  and  knowing 
people.  He  continued  saying 
that  studying  ploys  o  bigger 
port  in  college. 

As  for  value  in  a  person, 
Derek  considers  straight 
forwardness  important.  He 
portrayed  this  in  his  own 
character  by  saying,  "I'd 
argue  with  anyone  if  I  thought 
1  was  right."

used  car  dealers,  These  are  oil  among 
iKe  lop  businesses  reoping  ihe 
benefits  of  ihe  buying  power  of  youth. 
Americans  under  ihe  age  of  25  ore 
expected  to  spend  $49  billion  in  the 
yeor  1975.  Youlh  of  this  age  often 
hove   parl-lime   [obs   ihot  eventually 


produce  a  reasonable  income  without 
Ihe  expenditures  the  employes' 
porenis  have.  They  don't  have  food 
bills,  morlgoge  poymenis,  electricity 
ond  woler  bills,  and  everything  else 
thot  goes  into  mointoining  o 
household  ond  bringing  up  o  fomily. 
Students  ore  left  with  money  for 
luxury  spending. 

This  lunury  spending  con  be 
illustroled  by  the  number  of 
automobiles    bought    -    one    of    the

biggest  American  luxury  items. 
Tweniy-lwo   percent   of   Americon 

teen.agers  between  the  ages  of  15 
and  le  own  iheir  own  cars.  Studies 
have  shown  that  most  of  these  were 
bought  used. 

Buying  experience 

Newsweek  analyzed  youlh 
spending  and  noticed  that  it  was 
centered  on  the  buying  of 
experiences.  The  January  18,  1971, 
issue  stated,  "This  explains  nol  only 
mo'iiuono,  psychedelic  posters,  ond 
the  motorcycle  boom,  but  olso  ihe 
college  boy  wtio  wears  only  blue 
jeons  but  cherishes  his  S'.OOO  slereo 
set." 

After  surveying  the  siluolion, 
Newsweek's  stoiement  rings  true. 
Most  poyments  leen-ogers  moke  ore 
on  (Kings  they  can  experience.  Sound 
equipment,  movies,  boll  gomes,  block 
lights,  and  sports  equipment  oil  foil 
into  this  category.  At  least  in  the  cose 
of  most  mole  students,  clothing 
occupies  little  of  their  money 
concerns 

Set  trends 

Bi.,1  the  buying  power  of  the  leen- 
oger  is  not  limited  to  his  money  and 
bis  purchoses.  The  younger 
generation  is  considered  the  trend 
setter.  The  failure  of  the  midiski't 
several  yeo's  ago  hos  been  oltributed 
to  young  women's  refusol  to  weor  the 
longer  length.  And  ihe  leen-ogers  of  o 


fomily  often  influence  Ihe  buying  of 
their  porenis.  Televisions,  food, 
vacations,  ond  cars  ore  often  bought 
with  the  younger  family  members' 
preferences  in  mind. 

Businesses  have  not  foiled  to 
consider  the  buying  power  of  the 
teen-oger.  Advertising  hos  shown 
their  oworeness  of  yOung  weollh  ond 
young  willingness  to  spend  it.  Cola 
commerclols   show   youlh   doing   the 


adventurous,  the  fun,  the  fanlaslic, 
and  then  refreshing  themselves  with 
soft  drinks.  Colors  on  products  ond 
advertisements  ore  bright,  designs 
modern,  music  ond  dressing  styles 
contemporary  lo  ossociole  the 
products  with  youlh.  Those  under  30 
hove  been  recognized  as  o  powerful 
group  of  consumers.

Music  and  lyrics  tell  sfory 


by  Rlctt  Rlfkin 

"Remember  the  Future"  is  the  latest 
album  by  a  somewhat  obscure 
Germon  band  called  Nektor,  It  is  at 
least  iheif  third  album,  however  only 
the  second  lo  be  vecy  well  received  in 
Ihe  United  Stales.  The  album  prior  lo 
this  one  is  called  "A  Job  in  the  Ocean" 
and  it  was  the  one  thai  reolly  showed 
promise  for  Neklor  on  ihis  side  of  the 
Atlantic. 

Neklar  is  o  very  musical  bond  and 
ihe  release  of  "Remember  the  Fulure" 
olong  with  their  current  American  tour 
should  bring  Neklar  to  new  heights  of 
fame    and    success. 


creature  teaches  him  the  past  and  the 
fulure,  showing  him  things  he  could 
noi  see  or  understand  otherwise. 
Finally  Bluebird  departs  forever  with 
the  knowledge  that  he  has  gotten  his 
message  across.  The  message  con  only 
be  interpreted  through  the  lyrics  on 
side  two  where  he  ond  the  boy  sing  to 
each  other.

The  members  of  Ihe  group  ore  Allan 
Freeman,  ke/baards;  Roye  Alrighlon,

also  seems  that  lights  are  an  integrol 
part  of  Nektar's  live  show,  but  the 
music  and  lyrics  are  enough  to 
slimulole  anyone's  imagination. 

The  theme  of  the  olbum  centers 
oround  a  creoture  Bluebird,  who  hos 
visited  this  world  mony  times  but  the 
people  he  has  encountered  will  not 
listen  to  his  messoge.  Bluebird  finally 
mokes  mental  contact  with  a  young 
blind  boy.  The  boy  leorns  to  see  things

Music  and  lyrics  tell 

The  story  is  told  very  well  in  music 
and  lyrics.  At  the  beginning  of  the 
olbum.  Bluebird's  arrival  is  signified 
by  light  guitar  riffs  that  lead  into  the 
music.  This  theme  reappears  only  for  a 
second  at  the  very  end  when  the 
bluebird  departs.  The  lyrics  ore  also 
very  meaningful  and  fit  well  with  the 
music. 

On  September  6,  Nektor  will  play  in 
concert  at  the  lU-Purdue  ballroom. 
That  is  not  the  best  place  for  a  concert 
like  this  but  it  should  not  keep  anyone 
from  going.  It  should  be  a  concert  that 
everyone  will  enjoy.  The  visual  show 
is  reputed  lo  be  spectacular,  however 
lU-PU  may  suffer  the  same  problems 
that    occured    at    last   year's    Genesis 

concert  -.  that  is,  not  enough  room  for 

all  Ihe  lighting  equipment. 

Remember  Nektor  and  "Remember 

the  Future".  After  you   heor  ond  see 

them,  you  won't  wonl  to  forget. 


Responsibility  important  for  school 


Student  ,  responsibility     has     , 

aspects  in  the  school.  It  is  importont 
that  each  of  us  assumes  responsible 
attitudes  towards  our  education  in  Ihe 
school  we  attend.  The  taxpayer,  of  the 
Fort  Wayne  community  invest 
tremendous  amounts  of  money  to 
provide  its  youth  with  on  education. 

For  example,  much  lime,  money 
ond  effort  hos  been  spent  putting  our 
school  into  excellent  condition  during 
the  summer  months.  It  has  been 
thoroughly  cleaned.  Many  areas  hove 
been  pointed  and  needed  repairs 
have  been  completed.  Each  of  us  now 
has  a  responsibility  to  help  keep  it  in 
good       condition.       The       school's 


administration  will  have  little 
sympathy  towards  a  student  who 
vonaalizes  this  building. 

Another  area  of  concern  in  student 
responsibility  is  towards  oltendonce 
ond  tordiness.  In  mony  respects,  this  is 
o  school's  most  serious  problem.  An 
investment  of  nearly  $| ,000  per  year  is 
made  in  each  student  lo  give  him  a 
good  educotion.  We  certoinly  con'l 
reap  the  benefits  of  this  educotion  if 
we  ore  not  here.  Elmhurst  teachers  ond

Europeans  visited  Ity  two  £HS  Journalists 

by  Marty  Miller  ^  IT 


As  many  Elmhurst  students 
settle  down  after  summer, 
some  will  find  themselves 
reflecting  upon  its  many 
events:  weekends  at  the  lake, 
rock  concerts,  or  just  plain 
relaxing.  But  os  we  look  bock 
upon  the  vocation,  not  too 
mony  of  us  will  be  day 
dreaming  of  places  such  os 
Piccadilly  Circus,  Buckingham 
Palace,  the  Louvre.  Chomps 
Elysees,    or   the   Eiffel   Tower. 


However,   that   is  exactly   the       International 


situation     for     seniors     Greg 
Hershberger  and  Rick  Rif kin. 

Greg  and  Rick,  both 
members  of  the  Elmhurst 
pulicotions  staff,  were  part  of 
a  European  journolism  tour  of 
London  and  Paris,  The  two 
deponed  from  O'Hore  Airport 
in  Chicago  for  this  two  week 
tour  August  1,  sponsored  by 
the  National  Scholastic  Press 
Assoc ioi ion    and    Se minors 


Along  with  Rick  and  Greg 
on  this  trip  were  three  other 
journalism  students  --  two 
girls,  one  from  Oklahoma  and 
the  other  from  Arkansas,  and 
one  boy  from  Iowa.  Also 
along  were  five  high  school 
leachers  from  the  states,  one 
of  whom  was  newly  wed  and 
honeymooning  with  her  new 
husband  while  in  Europe. 


Foreign  publications 
compared 

The  main  opportunity  Greg 
and  Rich  felt  they  benefited 
from,  besides  getting  a 
chance  to  visit  London  and 
Paris,  was  the  experience  of 
comparing  French  and  British 
systems  of  publications  with 
our  own. 

For  Ihe  first  stop  of  their 
itinerary,  the  group  visited 
London.  At  this  time  Rick  and 
Greg  hod  the  opportunity  to 
lour  the  British  Broadcasting 
Corporation  (BBC).  While 
there  they  were  shown 
oround  the  large  network, 
which  broadcasts  in  40 
different  languages 

throughout  the  world.  They 
viewed  the  translation  rooms 
and  also  the  external  services, 
where  all  broadcasts  in  the  40 
different  languages  are 
centered. 

Also  while  in  London,  the 
lourists  hod  the  chance  lo  hold 
an  interview  with 

representatives  from  the 
British  Conservative  and  Labor 
parties.  When  asked  which 
party's  ideas  he  agreed  with 
more,      Greg      stated      the 


conservatives      had      more 
realistic  ideas. 

Tourists  hit  Paris  too 

From  London  the  tour 
traveled  straight  to  Paris 
where  they  spent  much  time 
sightseeing.  While  in  London 
and  Paris,  the  group  toured 
the  cities  from  morning  to  5 
p.m.  daily  and  had  the  rest  of 
the  day  to  shop  or  just  rest. 
Also  in  each  city  everyone 
had  a  free  day  to  do  whotever 
they  wanted.  When  Greg  and 
Rick  were  out  on  their  own 
they  discovered  that  water 
was  bottled  in  France  and  cost 
about  as  much  as  a  Coke  in 
the  U.S. 

Because  of  the  language 
barrier  in  Parrs,  Rick  and  Greg 
could  not  always 

communicate  with  the  people 
of  the  city,  but  when  Greg  was 
asked  which  people  he  liked 
belter  he  commented,  "I  liked 
the  people  in  London  better 
than  the  French  because  they 
seemed  lo  be  more  friendly. 
Often  times  the  people  in 
Paris         that         we  had 

appointments  with  would  not 
keep  them.  It  was  sometimes 
really  disgusting." 


Summer  phys.   ed. 
proves   successful 

Along  with  the  many  new 
improvements       this       fall 

throughout  Elmhurst.  this  post 
summer  brought  one  main 
betterment  for  the  boys' 
athletic  program- 

This  improvement,  o 
summer  physical  educotior 
class  which  lasted  eight 
weeks,  was  directed  by  Mr. 
James  Welborn  and  Mr.  Tom 
Herman. 

Speaking  of  the  course,  Mr. 

Welborn    commented    that    it 

has  helped  this  year's  football 

team    immensely.    Making    it 

such  a  great  success  were  the 

1 1 8    guys    that     participated, 

including    all    but    about    six 

members  of  the  football  team.  | 

Through    this    program    Mr. 

Herman,  who  is  new  to  EHS, 

had  the  chance  to  meet  many 

of  the  football  team  members 

that  he  will  be  coaching  this 

season.     With     all     of     their 

workout  sessions  the  players 

are  in  much  better  shape  than 

last  year. 

Because  of  its  outstanding 
success  and  help  to  the 
athletic  program,  the  P.E.  staff 
is  definitely  gomg  to  continue 
this  summer  course. 


Trojans  defeated  10-7 


The  Elmhurst  football 
season  got  under  way  in 
Jamboree.  Tuesday,  August 
27.  as  the  Tro|ans  met  defeat 

at    the    hands   of   the   Wayne 
Generals  10-7. 

Things  looked  good  for  the 
Trojans  at  the  beginning  of  the 
gome  as  the  Generals  took  the 
opening     kickoff     and     than 
fumbled  on  the  first  play  from 
, scrimmage     to     set     up     the 
JTrojans'  only  score.  With  9:19 
to  go  in  the  first  quarter  junior 
Anthony     Green     took     the 
handoff    from    quarterback 
iBrian  Russell  and  ran  it  all  the 
way  for  the  score.  The  extra 
point  was  good  and  it  looked 
like  the  Trojans  were  on  their 
way. 

From  then  on,  however,  the 
tide  of  the  gome  changed,  The 
Generals  took  the  next  kickoff 
all    the   way   with  7:15   to   go 


in  the  first  quarter  Clayton 
Alter  scored  and  Brad  Collins 
added  the  extra  point  to  tie 
the  score  at  7-7.  Then  with  35 
second  to  go  in  the  lost  of  the 
two  quarters,  4th  down  and  4 
to  go  Brad  Collins  kicked  a 
field  goal  thai  iced  the  gome 
as  for  as  the  Trojans  were 
concerned. 

Northrop      will      be      the 
Trojans'         opponent  in 

Elmhursl's  first  home  game  of 
the  season,  this  Friday  at 
Wayne     Stadium.

culture  exchange 

Finnish  sfudenf  comes  fo  Elmhurst;       Swiss  girl  comes  through  AFS; 

stays  with  Kathy  Chapman  making  use  of  language  dicfionary 


by  Betsy  Barber 

Junior  Ansa  Kunnari,  the  foreign  ex- 
change student  from  Finland,  has  been 
in  town  now  for  six  weeks  and  is 
slaying  with  junior  Kathy  Chapman. 
She  spent  o  lot  of  time  getting  here. 

Ansa  traveled  first  in  a  jeep  from 
Finland  to  Sweden,  then  in  a  train  lo 
Brussels,  onto  an  airplane  from  Phila- 
delphia and  finally  to  Fort  Wayne. 

Having  only  2  years  of  English,  Ansa 
was  rarely  without  her  dictionary  and 
ot  times  she  would  stop,  thumb 
through  the  pages  and  hunt  up  a  word. 

"I  understand  almost  everything 
people  say,  the  hard  part  is  speaking. 
The  English  I  learned  in  Finland  is  so 
different  from  the  language  I  must  use 
here.  You  use  a  lot  of  slang,"  said 
Ansa. 

Other  differences  she  thought  of  off- 
hand were  the  presence  of  lockers  in 
Elmhurst,  something  she  never  had, 
and  unfortunately  for  Ansa,  Finland 
schools  don't  know  the  joy  of  our  little 
pink  hall  passesi 

Another  difference  is  in  American 
automobiles.  "They  ore  so  much 
bigger  here.  We  have  many  small 
cars.  And  why  is  it  that  nobody  walks 


anywhere?" 

Usually  in  the  evenings  after  school. 
Ansa  takes  a  one  to  two  hour  walk. 
Exceptions  are  when  she  rides  her 
bicycle  to  school,  seven  to  eight  miles 
away,  in  which  cose  she  cuts  her  walk 
short. 


Cooking,  knit- 
ting, and  sewing 
are  Ansa's  favorite 
pastimes,  and 

reading  is  at  the 
bottom  of  the  list. 
Her  Finland  school 
doesn't  leave  her 
much  time  be- 
cause they  have 
more  subjects 

each  week  (about 
14  to  16  including 
4  languages).  .^j,,^  ^^^^  Elmhur.t  welcome. 

So       far.       Ansa  sludenti.   Anso  Kunnari  from   I 


After  putting  it  off  for  four  days,  I 
finally  decided  to  interview  our  two 
foreign  exchange  students,  Corrine 
Bucher,  and  Ansa 
Kunnari.  I  had  the 
fear  thot  I  would  sit 
trying  to  look  up 
words  in  my 
Engl  ish-Swedish 
Dictionary  or  end 
up  filling  the  air 
with  "uh,  um,  huh, 
what?"  However, 
after  the  first  few 
minutes,  I  knew  I 
was  worried  for 
nothing.  Both  Ansa 
and    Corrine    were 

e«han9e^^°PPy'0'°lk°'=°^' 
ind  fmlles'^^sir    stay    here    so 


hasn't     had      many  for  the  camero  on  the  right.  Corrine  Bucher  far    and    I    enjoyed 
troubles      and      she  from  Switzerland  standi  to  the  left  of  Anso.        meeting  them. 

Corrine  Bucher,  a  senior  from 
Switzerland,  is  staying  with  junior  Tina 
Hinton.  She  has  been  in  Fort  Wayne 
only  two  and  a  half  weeks,  "not  really 
long  enough  to  truthfully  say  how  I 
like  it." 


says  it's  been  very  nice.  With  her  warm 
smile  and  quick  dictionary  finger. 
Ansa  is  ready  for  on  active  year  at 
Elmhurst. 


Corrine  got  interested  in  AFS  when 
one  of  her  classmates  returned  and 
told  of  her  visit  to  another  country. 

School  work  hasn't  been  much  of  a 
hassle  for  Corrine.  Their  forty  hours  per 
week  compared  to  our  thirty  is 
probably  a  welcome  change.  Her 
school  days  were  longer  and  allowed 
for  a  person  to  go  home  for  lunch.  "It's 
set  up  a  lot  like  college,"  said  senior 
Jeff  Green,  her  AFS  press  agent. 

So  for,  Corrine  has  had  very  few 
problems  except  for  the  fact  that  she 
could  only  bring  23  kilos 
{approximately  51  lbs.)  of  clothes, 
"which  isn't  enough,"  she  said.  She 
also  had  to  ride  21  hours  on  a  bus  from 
New  York  to  Fort  Wayne. 

The  first  thing  Corrine  did  when  she 
got  to  her  new  home  was  to  sleep 
which  she  loves  about  as  much  as 
traveling,  playing  the  piano,  singing, 
ice  skating,  snow  skiing,  and 
swimming,  omong  her  other  pastimes. 
"You  hove  many  more  sweets 
here,"  she  said  when  asked  how  she 
liices  the  food.  Her  only  complaint 
about  school  lunches  was,  "I  just  can't 
eat  withouta  knifel"

Coaches     Herman 
dlicuK    ilralegy 


and     Welborn 
for    Jamboree 


This  year  Elmhurst  hos  a 
new  foolboll  coach  who  is  os 
enrhusiofic  about  Elmhurst  as 
Elmhursl  is  about  him.  The 
vacancy  of  head  football 
coach  left  last  year  by  Mr. 
Hoover  will  be  filled  this  year 
by  Mr.  Tom  Herman. 

Coach  Herman  himself 
played  four  years  of  high 
school  ball  and  four  yeors  of 
college  football  at  Kent  Stale. 
He  was  assistant  coach  at  Kent 
Stote,  Central  High  School, 
and  Northrop  High  School  and 


Netmen  begin  practice 


The  Elmhurst  tennis  team 
storied  practicing  on  August 
19.  with  20  guys  out 
competing  for  the  top  ten 
spots  in  the  starting  line-up, 

CoQch  Robert  Horn 
commented.  "Lost  year  I 
didn't  know  t  was  going  to  be 
the  tennis  coach  so  I  haven't 
seen  the  other  teams  ploy,  Bui 
some  schools  don't  even  know 
if  they  will  hove  o  team  al  all, 
ond  if  they  do  they'll  probably 
have  about  three  beginners, 
and  we  can  beat  any 
beginners.  So  I  definitely  feel 


we  will  hove  a  winning  team 
this  year." 

There  ore  5  juniors  and 
seniors  returning  this  year 
including  one  letterman,  Greg 
Hershberger.  The  twenty 
aspirants  include  seven 
sophomores,  nine  juniors,  and 
four  seniors. 

The  first  tennis  match  of  the 
seoson  was  held  yesterdoy 
against  Huntington,  ond 
Snider  wilt  be  the  Trojans' 
opponents  today.  Tomorrow's 
home  meet  will  be  against 
Wayne. 


wos     also      head     coach     at 
Hamilton  High  School. 

Yet  with  all  the  experience 
Coach  Herman  has.  his  job  of 
rebuilding  a  football  team 
may  prove  a  big  one,  but  he  is 
confident  he  can  succeed 
"Elmhurst  is  only  one  of  five 
schools  that  hove  new  head 
coaches  this  year," 

commented  Mr.  Herman, 
"and  we  hod  the  summer  P.E 
program  in  which  oil  but  half 
a  dozen  members  of  our  teom 
participated,  so  we  are  better 
off  thon  some." 

"This  year  we  hove  60  guys 
out  there  who  wont  to  play 
football,"  says  Coach 
Herman.  "We  have  1  ? 
lettermen  returnmg  and  33 
sophomores  who  ore  learning 
fast."  Bui  Ihe  sophomores  are 
not  the  only  ones  learning, 
according  to  the  coach.  The 
whole  team  must  Jeorn  the 
fundamentals  of  the  game.  "If 
we  con  overcome  the 
inexperience  and 

fundamentals,  we'll  have  a 
wmning  season." 

Paul  Stevens  makes  (he  final  (urn 
and  heads  for  finish  In  one  of  his 
many  races. 


Between  the  returning 
lettermen  and  new  blood  in 
the  form  of  sophomores,  the 
team  looks  like  o  strong  con- 
tender in  the  city  roce, 

Five  returning  juniors  and 
seniors  will  give  the  t8-mon 
team  the  needed  experience. 
Among  these  five,  four  are 
lettermen  -  Paul  Stevens,  Rick 
Knuth,    Denny    Kirkland,    and 


Lorry  Rober, 

The  new  blood  will  be 
supplied  mainly  by  three 
sophomores  -  Tim  Lee.  Chad 
Clme,  and  Jim  Freygong,  All 
three  placed  in  the  top  ten  in 
the  city  as  freshmen. 

All  in  all  the  '74  cross 
country  team  looks  like  o 
stronger  team  than  last  year's 
and  a  contender  in  any  meet 
this  year  or  in  the  future.

finds  it  very  eosy  to  compofe  Elmhurst 
to  the  high  school  she  attended,  but 
odds.  -I  cant  believe  Ihe  changes  that

ford's  polUij  questioned;  Nixon's  pardon  sparks  anger

no  way  lo  get  them  bock 
becouse  they're  settled  on

exactly  one  month  after 
taking  office,  he's  grossly 
bridged  this  trust.  With  his 
pardon  of  former-President 
Richard  Nixon,  Ford  has 
insured  that  the  American 
people  will  never  know  the 
truth. 

The  tapes  will  be  burned  in 
five  to  ten  years,  their 
contents  never  lo  be  revealed. 
Even  if  Ford  does  not  pardon 
Nixon's  conspirators.  the 
chances  that  iheir  trials  will 
lake  place  are  slim.  The 
defendants  will  cloim  that 
valuable  evidence  from  the 
tapes  is  needed;  precisely, 
because  they  know  the  tapes 
will  never  be  obtained. 

Money  and  power 

Nixon  and  his  men  hove  not 
"suffered  enough",  He  made 
no  sacrifice  by  resigning  his 
office.  On  the  controry,  he  hod 
much  to  goin  by  stepping 
down.  He  has  failed  lo  admit 
that  if  he  hadn't  left  of  his  own 
free  will,  he  would  hove 
been  Impeached  and 
convicted.  Then,  he  would 
have  had  no  bond 
accompanying  his  departure, 
no  red  carpet  leading  to  a

sweet      audience       waving

Vandalism  .  tardies  plague  school 


Vondalism  and  tardiness  are  two 
problems  that  every  high  school  'faces. 
Different  schools  have  their  own  rules  and 
policies  regarding  the  student  who  destroys 
and  the  excessive  late-comer. 

At  Elmhurst,  vandalism  is  not  regarded  as 
a  major  problem  as  it  is  in  other  schools  in 
the  city.  But  the' student  vandal  should  be 
careful,  for  destroying  school  properly  con 
lead  to  1)  suspension  in  cases  a^ich  as 
graffiti  and  2)  expulsion  for  more  serious 
offenses  such  as  fires,  etc.  The  reasons  for 
the  stiff  vandalism  lows  are  that  it  costs  a  lot 
of  money  to  correct  any  damage  done  ond  it 
also  takes  the  time  of  the  maintenance 
people  who  could  be  doing  something  more 
useful, 

Policies  updated 

The  vandalism  policies  are  not  new  to 
Elmhurst,  but  the  lardy  policies  hove  been 
updated  since  lost  year.  The  teacher  handles 
the  student  who  is  tardy  once  or  twice,  but 
after  three  or  four  tardies,  the  student  is  sent 
directly  to  o  dean.  (Last  year  the  student  was 
sent  to  a  counselor  and  then  lo  the  dean.)  If 


the  problem  cannot  be  corrected  by  tolking 
it  out  with  the  student,  he  is  sent  throuah 
more  channels  and  finally  suspended.  This 
should  end  the  excessive  tardiness,  but  the 
student  can  be  expelled  if  he  continues  to 
interrupt  class  by  walking  in  after  the  bell 
rings. 

Because  vandalism  is  nolo  problem  that 
is  dealt  with  daily,  the  rule  should 
discourage  anyone  who  is  thinking  of 
destroying  school  property.  But  tardiness  is 
going  to  be  harder  to  control. 

First  of  oil,  Ihose  students  who  are  tardy 
excessively  would  probably  welcome  an 
expulsion  if  it  weren't  for  their  parents. 
This  is  where  the  key  to  the  problem  lies.- 
In  talking  with  the  student  and  his  parents  o 
decision  as  to  whether  the  student  really 
wonts  to  be  or  should  be  enrolled  in  high 
school  can  be  made. 

High  school  is  not  the  place  for  everyone. 
Vocational  or  trade  school  may  provide  a 
more  welcome  atmosphere  for  those 
students  concerned  with  getting  the  training 
needed  for  a  technical  career.

Troions  performed  o  ten  minute  show 
before  a  panel  of  three  judges  last

2,500  spectotors-  Judging  was  by 
comment  only  and  each  judge  gave 
constructive  criticisms. 

"The  bond  performed  the  best  they 
had  oil  year,"  said  Mr.  Dove  Sapp, 
student  teacher.  Other  comments  from 
band  members  were  "1  think  we  did 
really  good"  and  "We  finally  did  a 
decent  job."

The  quarterback  tokes  off  at  a  trot,

on  the  sidelines  watching  with  on

and  just  in  case  the  team  needs  some

This  is  no  football  game.  This  is  the 
Explorers.  The  President,  or  the 
"quarterback"  and  the  Post  advisor, 
the  "coach",  work  together  with  the 
rest  of  the  Explorer  group  or  "team" 
to  explore  the  different  aspects  of 
their  particular  field- 
Why  should  a  student  be  on 
Explorer?  "The  exploring  program 
gives  high  school  students  the 
opportunity  to  determine  whether  or 
not  this  is  the  career  in  which  Ihey  are 
interested  ond  if  it  is  the  coreer  they 
wish  to  pursue."  This  is  the  answer 
given  by  Mr.  Steve  Croxton  of 
E  xplorers  headquarters. 

Last  fall  486  people  were  involved 
in  34  different  posts  in  Allen  county. 
There  ore  now  753  in  41  posts.  The 
first  meeting  for  each  of  these  posts 
will  be  on  orientation.  A  general  look 
will  be  given  to  the  particular  field. 

Meetings  lost  no  more  than  one  or 
two  hours,  and  most  posts  will  meet 
every  two  weeks.  The  different  posts 
will  meet  ot  different  times  during  the 
week.  A  paper,  with  these  doys  and 
the  times  at  which  meetings  begin, 
will  be  pasted  on  the  bulletin  board  in

Forum  to  sell  candy 

The  Elmhurst  debate  and  solo 
speech  looms  will  be  having  o  candy 
sole  the  first  two  weeks  of  October. 
They  will  be  selling  crunch  bars,  super 
crunch  bars,  M&M's,  and  peanut 
MSM's. 

The  profits  from  this  sole  will  be 
used  to  pay  for  severol  speech 
expenses  in  the  up-coming  season.  For 
instance,  both  the  solo  team  and  the 
debaters  will  host  o  meet  here  at 
Elmhurst.  This  means  the  Speech  Club 
will  hove  to  buy  trophies  for  both 
meets. 

Last  years'  profits  went  toward  a 
trophy  cose  for  the  speech  teams' 
winnings,  the  Student  Council  paid  for 
half  of  the  case  and  the  woods  class  is 
making  it.  Woods  instructor  Mr.  James 
Lambert  hopes  to  hove  the  cose 
completed  by  Christmas. 

The  Speech  Club  holds  its  meetings 
the  second  and  fourth  Tuesdoy  of  each 
month.  New  members  are  welcome. 


amnesty 


Student  reaction: 


A  middle  of  the  road  decision 


It  was  a  courageous  move-breaking 
the  idea  to  a  potentially  hostile  and 
obviously  unsympathetic  group,  the 
Veterans  of  Foreign  Wars. 
Unfortunately,  something  happened 
along  the  way  that  angered  the  right, 
left,  and  middle. 

When  President  Ford  proposed  a 
conditional  amnesty  several  weeks 
ago,  it  seemed  a  fair  enough 
compromise;  those  who  favored 
blanket  amnesty  were  at  least  getting 
part  of  what  they  wanted  and  those  on 
the  right,  well,  those  on  the  right  were 
at  least  willing  to  give  the  President  a 
chance. 

However,  since  the  President's 
announcement  that  ex-President 
Nixon  has  been  granted  a  complete 
pardon,  many  people,  even  those  who 
were  more  conservative  on  the  issue, 
have  begun  to  wonder  whether  on 
unconditional  amnesty  for  draft 
resistors  and  deserters  is  really  too 
much  to  ask. 

Blonket  heals  wounds 

The  concept  of  such  amnesty  is  not 
new.  There  are  precedents  for  both 
conditional  and  unconditional 
policies.  After  WWII,  men  were 
pardoned  on  an  individual  basis, 
according  to  coses.  Men  in  prison  were 
Qiven   unconditional   pardons  while 


otiiers  were  required  to  give  time  to 
some  civil  service.  It  the  President 
were  to  grant  o  conditional  omneslyi  if 
would  probably  follow  along  these 
lines. 

Andrew  Johnson,  over  one  hundred 
years  ago,  pardoned  the  entire  South 
after  the  Civil  Wor.  He  did  this  not  at 
once,  but  through  a  series  of 
proclamations  which  culminated  with 
a  final  pardon  on  Christmas.  1867,  If 
the  chief  executive  were  to  consider  a 
blanket  policy,  this  would  also  serve  as 
o  good  premise.  It  would  be  almost 
impossible  to  announce  such  a  plan 
immediately;  he  is  politically 
vulnerable  ond  there  is  still  a  block  of 
opposition  he  must  face.  However, 
total  amnesty,  if  not  immediately,  then 
eventually,  would  serve  the  country 
greatly. 

This  blanket  proposal  would 
hopefully  help  the  psyche  and  heal 
some  of  the  wounds  of  America.  We, 
as  a  notion,  have  been  bitter  and 
cynical  too  long.  The  troumas  of 
Vietngm,  Watergate,'  the  economic 
and  energy  crisis  have  hurt  our  spirit. 
This  move  would  be  a  step  toward 
rebuilding  our  morole  and  unity,  and 
bring  ot  least  a  fraction  of  the  peace 
which  we  seek,  America  magozme 
soys,  "The  dead  in  Vietnam  bear  no 
grudges.  Why  should  we?" 


Tod  Huntley,  sophomore 

"I'm  for  amnesty  but  I  don't  believe 
these  people  should  come  bock  with  a 
full  and  complete  pardon.  I  think  they 
should  work  their  way  bock  through 
the  Peace  Corps  or  Vista,  or  some 
similar  organization. 

"They  hove  broken  existing  laws  - 
whether  we  think  the  laws  are  right  or 
wrong.  Since  they  did  break  what  was 
low  then  and  still  is  now,  I  think  they 
should  work  their  way  back.  However, 
I  do  think  each  case  should  be  tried  on

country.  If  they  choose  to  live  in 
another  country,  let  them,  but  don't  let 
them  come  back  into  this  country

Melissa  Hunter,  junior 

"I'm  against  amnesty  for  two 
reasons.  The  first  reason  is  becouse  it's 
not  fair  to  the  men  who  died  or  were 
in  prisoner  of  war  camps.  It's  also  not 
foir  to  the  families  who  lost  friends, 
husbands  end  brothers. 

Second,  they're  where  they  are 
because  they  chose  to  be.  They 
shouldn't  expect  to  come  back  and 
enjoy    what    their    country    can    give 


Barb  Harmon,  junior 


"The  Vietnam  War  wos  one  of  the 
most  unjustified  wars  in  our  history.  By 
gronting  anything  but  unconditional 
amnesty,  Americo  would  be  denying- 
or  more  to  the  point,  hiding  from-lhat 
fact. 

"In  time  people  will  come  lo 
rationalize  what  happened  in 
southeast  Asia,  but  a  strong  action, 
such  as  granting  total  amnesty,  would 
put  the  war  in  its  proper  historical 
perspective:  a  mistake  we  should 
learn  from, 

"The  men  who  went  to  Canada  sow 
error  in  the  fighting  which  creoted  a 
great  personal  conflict  for  them.  It's 
ridiculous  to  say  that  these  men  do 
not    love    their    country. 

"Considering  that  freedom  of  belief 
is  one  of  the  bases  of  our  democracy, 
it's  sod  to  think  that  objectors  hove 
been  persecuted  and  even  lailed  for 
following  their  conscience." 


Walk  date  set 


The  local  chapter  of  the  Notional 
Foundation  -  March  of  Dimes  has 
onnounced  its  plans  for  the  areas 
fourth  onnuol  Wolk-A-Thon. 

The  Wolk-A-Thon,  which  will  begin 
at  St.  Albon's  Episcopal  Church  on 
Soturdoy.  Oct,  1 2,  will  hopefully  be  the 
most  successful  ever.  Registration  will 
be  from  7:30  to  9:00  a.m. 

Chapter  director  Mrs.  Sherry  Postich 
expects  a  much  lorger  turnout  from  the

Mrs.  Postich  onticipotes  the  turnout 
from  Elmhurst  as  well  as  other  area 
schools  to  be  better  than  previous 
years  and  emphasizes  that  enthusiasm 
within  the  young  adult  age  brocket  is  a 
major  force  in  th©  success  of  the 
majority  of  such  charity  events. 


Seniors  Dave  SHIetto,  Jeff  Green  and  junior  Lorry  Dougherty  practice 
correct  word  emphasis  while  reading  lines. 


The  route  for  the  wolk  itself  has 
been  extended  to  20  miles  as  opposed 
to  lost  year's  15.  It  will  cover  about  the 
same  trail  as  the  earlier  walk  with 
minor  alterations  for  the  lengthening. 

Walk  forms  are  available  to  students 
at  oil  area  Burger  Chefs.  Mololey's,

r/  Death   Wish 
Bronson     stars 

by  Liz  Kerns 

What  would  you  do  if  your  mother 

.      was  beaten   to  death  and  your  sister 

))    roped    by    three    hoods?    The    movie 

Death  Wish,  starring  action  superstar 

Charles  Bronson,  attempts  to  answer 

this  question. 

Charles  Bronson  as  Paul  Kersey, 
husband  and  father,  becomes  New 
York's  fictionol  "vigilante."  Out  to 
clear  the  city  of  crime,  he  walks  the 
streets,  the  porks,  and  rides  the 
subways  alone  ol  night  looking  fo  be 
mugged. 

This  brings  out  two  of  the  film's 
many  shortcomings.  It  seems  "the 
vigilante"  is  on  equal  opportunity 
killer,  because  he  kills  as  many  black 
muggers  as  he  does  while.  Another 
coincidence  is  the  fact  that  all  the 
muggers  carry  knives,  except  the  very 
lost  one,  who  wounds  "the  vigilante" 
and  discloses  his  identity. 

The  end  is  handled  with  taste  and 
wit  as  "the  vigilante"  is  ordered  to 
leave  New  York  because  the  District 
Attorney  refuses  to  prosecute  him  and 
moke  him  a  martyr,  as  Ihe  crime  rate 
has  dropped  by  nearly  one-half  since 
"the  vigilante"  began  his  nightly 
campaign. 

Deoth  Wish  seems  to  be  asking: 
"Okay,  which  one  of  you  big 
melropolises  is  going  to  produce  Ihs 
non-fictional  "vigilante?"

The  Elmhorst  varsity 
football  team  suHered  its 
second  defeot  lost  Friday, 
at  the  hands  of  the 
Kokomo  Wildcats  22-0. 

A  fumble-plagued  Trf.|an

they  fumbled  the  opening 
kick-off  on  the  ElmhursI  38- 
Although  the  tough  Trojan 
defense  held  the  Wildcats 
scoreless  throughout  the  first 
quarter.  Ihe  continuous 
mistakes  and  costly  penalties 
soon  began  lo  show  their 
effect. 

Yet  the  game  was  not  a 
complete  loss,  as  signs  of 
Coach  Herman's  rebuilding 
job  were  evident  throughout 
the  evening.  Brian  Russell 
scored  on  a  10-yard 
touchdown  run,  but  a  clipping 
penalty  called  back  what 
would  have  been  the  Trojons' 
first  score  of  the  regular 
season  and  a  6-0  lead.  Russell 
also  threw  a  57-yard  pass  to 
junior  Tim  Choney  in  the  first 
quarter  to  highlight  the 
offense  for  the  Trojans,

coming       from       o       strong 


Northrop  Bruins  team  on 
September  6.  Again  the  Trojon 
mistakes  cost  them  dearly  as 
the  Bruins  shut  out  the  Trojans 
16-0.

commented  thot  the  girls  reolly  don't 
enjoy  Ihe  drills,  but  she  feels  that  if  the 
skills  involved  in  volleyboll  aren't 
developed,  then  the  girls  won't  know 


how  to  use  them  properly  when  they 
ore  required  during  a  gome. 

The  first  volleyball  gome  for  the 
team  will  be  October  10,  The  girls  will 
hove  five  other  games  during  the 
month  of  October, 

When  asked  how  she  thought  the 
girls  looked  for  this  year's  season,  Mrs. 
Russell  commented,  "Fantosticl  We 
hove  only  lost  one  girl  ond  a  lot  of  Ihe 
talent  from  lost  year  is  back  again,  I 
have  olso  seen  excellent  talent  by  the 
girls  from  the  junior  highs  if  these 
girls  stoy  OS  good  as  they  ore  now,  the 
decision  of  who  is  to  ploy  during  the 
gomes  will  be  difficult,"

"Inlerscholostic  tennis  this  yeor  is 
very  different  from  previous  yeors," 
commented  Elmburst's  new  tennis 
cooch,  Mr.  Robert  Horn. 

"We  hove  to  ploy  by  many  new 
rules  this  year  in  SAC  ploy,"  he 
explained,  "First  of  all,  each  player 
con  compete  in  only  singles  or 
doubles,  whereas  lost  year,  it  was 
possible  to  ploy  both  in  the  some 
motch," 

The  "no  od"  system  of  scoring  is 
onother  new  ruling.  Here,  when  Ihe 
score  of  40-40  or  deuce  is  reached,  the 
winner  of  the  next  point  is  the  winner 
of  the  gome.  Under  Ihe  old  system, 
two  points  were  needed  to  win,  "We 
olso  ploy  2  out  of  3  sets.  This  contrasts 
With  the  pro-set  to  8  played  in  previous 
years,"  he  odded, 

Cooch  Horn  continued  in  stating 
thot,  in  sectionol  ploy,  once  o  team  is 
elim, noted  from  competition  due  lo 
points,  oil  ployers  ore  also  eliminated. 
This  means  Ihot  even  if  o  single  or 
doubles  teom  wins  ond  the  loom  is 
eliminated,  the  players  ore  out  of  the 
running.  This  new  rule  is  to  promote 
the  idea  of  tennis  being  a  team  sport, 

"Each  of  these  new  rules  has  its 
odvontoges  ond  disadvantages,"  he

At  home,  Angie  speoks  both  English  and

Hef  brother  speoks  English,  but  does  not  reod  or

Reserves  fall  to 
Luers  in  20-0  show 


Elmhurst  reserves  invaided  Bishop 
Luers  stadium  Monday,  September  9, 
where  the  Trojans  were  plagued  with 
fumbles  and  interceptions  in  a 
disappointing  20-0  loss. 

Bishop  Luers  threw  a  very  tough  and 


rugged  defense  against  Ihe  relatively 
inexperienced  offense.  It  was  the  red 
and  gray's  small  yardage  production 
which  eventually  led  to  their  second 
consecutive  defeat. 

Elmhurst  is  0-2  in  season  ploy.  The 
reserves'  next  match  is  a  home  affair 
against  Northrop  at  4  p.m.  tomorrow 
on  the  Elmhurst  field.  Coach  Jim 
Lambert  comments  that  a  good  turnout 
of  Trojan  rooters  will  be  a  help  in 
providing  team  spirit. 

Other  games  on  ihe  sophomore 
schedule  include:   Sept.   26  at  Bishop 

Dwenger;  and  Oct,  3  at  Snider. 

Reterues  try  desperately  but  fall  to  Luers.

Mike's  Side 


by  Mike  Landrtgan 

One  of  the  major  bonds  between 
students  and  their  school  is  their 
athletic  teams.  In  fact,  if  it  were  not  for 
athletics,  a  school  would  serve  no 
purpose  for  some  students. 

Winning  teams  really  boost  school 
spirit.  Northrop,  as  an  example,  has 
the  necessary  attitude.  They  think  as 
winners;  all  of  their  male  sports,  with 
the  exception  of  tennis,  were  winners. 

Elmhurst  has  o  chance  for  this 
attitude.  The  baseball  team  got  off  on 
the  right  foot  by  beating  Northrop  in 
the  regionals,  then  finishing  the 
season  as  runners-up  in  the  semi-stale. 
Now.  it  is  up  to  the  coaches,  athletes 
and  student  body  to  continue  with  the 
Positive  AAentol  Attitude  our  new  head 
football  coach,  Tom  Herman,  talks 
obout. 

Lei's  start  off  with  cross  country. 
Already  this  teom  has  hod  a  better 
season.  With  the  return  of  Paul 
Stevens,  who's  one  of  the  finest 
runners  in  the  slote,  and  the  additions 
of  severol  outstanding  sophomores. 
this  could  be  our  most  improved  sport. 
Next,  our  football  team,  now  under 
the  direction  of  on  outstanding  cooch, 
Tom  Herman.  Already  he  has  molded 
our  football  players  into  a  unit  that 
believes  they  can  compete  with 
anyone.    This    year's    team    can't    do 


anything  but  improve  on  last  year's 
record.  If  the  students  give  jhem  some 
support  they  should  win  at  least  half  of 
their  games. 

Now,  let's  look  at  the  third  of  our 
fall  sports,  tennis.  Last  year's 
graduotion  moy  have  hurt  this  team 
more  than  any  other.  Greg 
Hershberger  is  our  only  returning 
letterman.  The  team  locks  experience; 
they  are  looking  toward  next  year. 

That  leaves  us  with  the  only  team 
which  had  a  winning  attitude  during 
the  season  and  kept  that  altitude 
during  the  stale  tournament: 
baseball.  The  baseball  teom  lost  five 
starters  but  there  are  eight  returning 
lettermen  in  addition  to  several  other 
excellent  prospects.  The  members  of 
the  teann  believe  they  ore  the  best  in 
the  city  and  hope  to  improve  on  lost 
year's  record. 

That's  a  summary  of  some  of  the 
sports  that  hove  been  around  at  least  a 
year.  To  win  a  team  needs  to  hove 
talent,  the  correct  attitude  and  the 
support  of  the  students.  The  talent  is 
there,  the  attitude  is  up  to  the  athletes 
and  the  cooches,  but  in  the  post,  the 
support  was  lacking.  All  of  our  coaches 
agree  that  o  lorge  group  yelling  for 
you  can  really  help  your  incentive,  so 
the  rest  is  up  lo  you. 


Reason  for   tradifion   sought 


by  the  flril  period  |ournal 
lim  clou 

With  foil  dosses  under  woy, 
(he  first  period  jOurnolism 
closs  began  to  wonder  what 
ihe  purpose  of  homecoming 
is.  They  found  out  and  then  sel 
out  to  determine  who  else  in 
the  school  knew  the  onswer. 

So,  with  pencils  ond  poll 
sheets  in  hand,  the  fifteen 
budding  iournolists  posed  the 
question,  "Why  do  we  hove 
homecoming?"  They  got 
answers  from  1 17  Trojans. 
Thirfy   six   were   sophomores, 


53  were  juniors,  22  were 
seniors  and  six  were  leochers. 
In  all.  only  23  percent  were 
aware  of  the  true  meaning  of 
homecoming. 

Most  responses  fell  under 
three  categories:  "I  don't 
know,"  "ll's  a  tradition,"  and 
"To  have  some  fun."  The 
highest  rate  of  incorrect 
onswers  came  from  the 
sophomores  and  on  up 
according  to  seniority  through 
'he  teachers.  Eighty  three  per 
cent  of  the  sophomores  were 
wrong,    75    per    cent    of    the 


the  seniors  were  incorrect, 
and  the  teochers  hod  o  23 
percent  rate  of  miscalculation. 
(Only  six  were  polled). 

With  all  the  percentages 
totaled,  a  figure  of  23  per  cent 
was  reoched  in  relation  lo  the 
number  of  Elmhurst's  people 
that  were  correctly  informed. 
They  were  the  ones  that  come 
up  wrih  the  answer, 
"Homecoming  was  designed 
so  thai  alumni  can  come  bock 
and  show  their  school  spirit  at 
a  foolboll  gome."

Paul  Stevens  grosps  the  finish  line  after  breaking  the  school  record  against  Wayne. 

Stevens  beats  former  record; 
team    possesses  skills 


The  cross  country  team  started  the 
year  off  very  well  by  beating 
Homestead,  but  lost  o  close  one  to  a 
tough  Harding  team.  On  Sept,  10,  the 
Elmhurst  harriers  tied  Goshen,  and 
beot  their  close  rivals,  Wayne.  In  their 
third  meet,  a  dual  meet,  the  harriers 
trounced  Tipton  with  a  near  perfect 
score  of  17  to  their  opponents'  40, 

In  Ihe  first  two  meets  senior  Paul 
Stevens  broke  the  school  record,  which 
he  originally  sel  last  year,  Paul  hos  the 
best  time  in  ihe  cily  and  second  best  in 
the  area.  Tim  Hughes  of  Huntington 
runs  a  12.27,  just  six  seconds  better 
than  Paul, 

This   year   the   team    is   Ihe   biggest 


team  in  four  years,  with  four  seniors, 
seven  juniors,  and  five  sophomores,  o 
total  of  sixteen  men.  So  far  they  have 
proved  a  good  leam  ond  they  look  like

Fort  Wayne  students  enjoy  curfew  relaxation 


"Do    you    know    where    your  /IrrOtn    <hAM.io   llP.fA-   Our 


teen-ager  \%  tonlghf  7' 

This  once  familiar  onnouncemenl 
isn't  shown  much  on  TV  anymore. 
The  reoson;  the  curfew  low  isn't 
enforced  as  it  once  wos  This  is  one 
of  the  good  things  the  police 
deportment  has  done,  but  the 
curfew  ordinance  was  not  reloxed 
out  of  the  goodness  of  the  polices' 
heorts;  there  just  isn't  enough 
personnel  to  enforce  it  as  it  was 
meant  to  be  enforced. 

The  city  has  no  ordinance 
restricting  minors  from  the  age  of 
sixteen  to  eighleeri  from  being  out 
post  ihe  hour  of  1 1 :00,  but  the  stole 
does. 

The  city  law  covers  minors  under 
Ihe  age'    of  16,  but  the  slate  covers 

the  curfewing  of  older  teens  under 
the  Children,  Delinquent  (defined) 
Statute. 


Delinquency  defined 

This  in  essence  slates,  "The  words 
'Delinquent  Child'  shall  include  any 
boy  under  the  full  age  of  eighteen, 
or  any  girl  under  the  full  age  of 
eighteen'  who:  Wanders  about  the 
sireets  of  any  city  or  in  (on)  or 
obout  ony  public  ploce  between  the

This  means  that  if  a  person  under

returning  from  on  educational

The  penalty  for  violating  curfew 
is  a  fine  of  nol  more  than  25  dollars. 


but  every  policeman  handles  the 
curfew  as  he  sees  fit.  Some  may 
fake  violoters  in,  others  may  just 
score  them  a  liltle  and  send  them 
home. 

This  means  that  there  could  be  as 
mony  inferpretalions  of  the  statute 
as  thtre  ore  policemen.  This 
shouldn't  be  allowed  to  happen  for 
the  law  should  be  interpreted,  in 
general  terms,  alike  by  all 
policemen.  This  is  the  only  way  lo 
be  fair  lo  everyone. 

Why  is  there  this  statute?  Partly 


for  the  teen-agers'  benefit,  ana 
portly  for  the  publics'  protection,  for 
at  the  stroke  of  1 1 :00  all  teen-agers 
turn  into  ....  delinquents. 

This  obviously  isn't  true,  and  the 
curfew  low  does  serve  some 
purpose.  Most  crimes  are  more  apt 
to  be  committed  later  in  the  night. 
But  the  majority  of  teen-agers  do 
stay  out  past  11:00  and  are  not 
riminols,  or  vandals,  or 
delinquents. 

I  Curfew  law  obeyed 

The  police  deportment  crocked 
down  on  curfew  violators  o  few 
yeors  ago  when  Fort  Wayne's  youth 
was  involved  in  several  riotous 
events.  But  today,  becouse  of  the 
lock  of  man  power,  the  police 
department  has  relaxed  on  curfew 
violators.  For  how  long,  no  one  con 
soy,  but  OS  long  as  the  youth  is  not 
causing  trouble,  the  low  will  remain 
un-enforced. 

Teen-agers  wont  fo  be  treated  as 
responsible  citizens  of  the 
community,  and  as  long  as  rhey 
remain  out  of  trouble,  they  con,  and 
should,  be  treated  this  way.  Until, 
one  day,  possibly,  when  the  curfew 
law  will  be  abolished  entirely,  and 
no  longer  are  the  sireets  from  1  1 :00 
to  5:00  restricted  lo  those  persons 
over  eighteen..

sleeping  bags 
prove  fb   be 


major 


bu 


/s 


What  should  I  consider 
when  buying  a  sleeping 
bag? 

Since  comping, 

bockpacking  and  partying  are 
three  of  Ihe  most  popular 
sports  in  America,  this  is  o 
pretty  good  question.  And 
because  you  can  expect  to 
spend  from  eight  to  250 
dollars,  you  could  probably 
consider  it  o  major  purchose, 
and  any  major  purchase  is 
worth  looking  into. 

The  question  you  hove  to 
ask  yourself  first  is  what 
you're  going  to  use  your 
sleeping  bag  for. 

Suppose  you  were  going 
comping.  If  you  were 
planning  some  serious  long- 
term  trips  you  would  probably 
wont  a  down  filled  bag.  These 
are  the  best  kind  made,  but 
they  are  also  the  most 
expensive. 

One  warning:  don't  pay  any 
attention  to  labels  or 
salesmen  who  tell  you  that  a 
certain  bag  will  keep  you 
warm  down  to  a  certain 
number  of  degrees.  The 
warmth  factor  of  your  body  is 
what's  important  here.  Also, 
the  chill  factor  is  often  much 
lower  than  a  thermometer 
may  read;  it  may  say  twenty 
degrees,  but  it  might  feel  like 
zero. 


Generally,        the       same 
temperature    rules    hold    for 
bock-pocking;     however,     an 
important  thing  that  needs  to 
be    considered    here    is    the 
shape  of  the  bog.  Since  every 
ounce    of    weight    hos    to    be 
counted    for.    any    bog    that's 
going  to  cut  down  on  excess 
weight  and  space  is  going  to 
work     best.     Therefore,     you 
should  probably  think  about  a 
streamlined,  or  mummy  bag. 
Finally,    the    lost    category: 
partying.    If    you    like    to    gel 
away  for   the   weekend   with 
some  of  your  friends,  do  some 
not-so-serious      camping,      or 
just  want  something  to  throw 
in  the  back  of  your  von,  you 
can  probably  buy  yourself  on 
eight  dollar   fiber  filled   bog 
and  be   happy.  Of  course,    if 
you  wont  the  best  of  the  fiber 
filled  you  can  get  a  dacron 
bag  which  sells  for  around  35 
dollors.     Otherwise,     don't 
worry  too  much  unless  it  starts 
to  get  terribly  cold.   If  you're 
this     kind     of     camper     you 
probably     won't     get     much 
sleep  anyway. 

The  Advance  staff 
invites  students  to  request 
products  for  articles  or  ask 
questions  about  products 
relevant  to  them.  Requests 
and/or  questions  should  be 
brought  Into  the

One  of  the  interesting  rules  of  the

Wonder*!  new  album  shows  optimism 


by  Rick  Rrf  krn 

If  osked  to  describe  the  music  of 
Sfevie  Wonder's  new  album  in  one 
word,  the  word  would  hove  to  be 
"optimistic." 


Fulfritrngness'    Frrit    Finale    >s 

Stevie   Wonder's    lotest    optimistic 

offering,  II  is  the  culminotion  of  post 

albums  with  a  somewhat  new  theme, 

"Music  of  the  Mind"  was  on  extension 

of       Slevie's       own       personality, 

"Innervisrons"   took    a    long   look   ol 

humanity    and    society,    and    finally      show  his  piano  and  singing  abilities. 

"Fulfillingness'    First     Finale"    offers 


Life,  deof  h  and  God 

The  hope  theme  comes  out  clearly 
in  many  songs,  but  in  at  least  two 
there  ore  questions  obout  life,  death, 
and  God.  There  ore  only  two  songs  in 
which  Stevie  seems  to  have  his  old 
familiar  sound  of  "Superstition"  or 
"Living  in  the  City."  They  ore  "Boogie 
on  Reggae  Woman"  and  his  current 
single,  "You  Hoven't  Done  Nothin"', 
on  which  the  Jackson  5  also  sing.  The 
rest  of  the  album  is  devoted  to  more 
mellow  pieces  which  allow  Stevie  to 


faith  and  hope. 

The  music  on  this  album  is  very 
similar  to  other  Stevie  Wonder 
olbums  (they  almost  all  have  the 
same  sound),  but  it  is  o  little  less 
funky  and  a  bit  slower.  Stevie  seems 
to  be  able  (o  get  all  of  his  songs  to  be 
either  soft  and  melodic  or  fast  and 
funky.  His  voice  is  excellent  and  his 
musical  talent  is  tremendous  ...  it's 
just  that  each  new  olbum  seems  to  be 
a  continuation  of  previous  work. 
"Fulfillingness"  is  not  on  exception  to 
this,  but  the  similarity  is  insignificont. 
The  album  offers  a  message  which 
makes  it  different  from  any  other 
album.  It  is  Stevie  Wonder's  "First 
Finale". 


Stevie  Wonder  is  well  established. 
This  album  signifies  the  end  of  on  eta 


but  also  the  beginning  of  one. 
Hopefully  Stevie  will  broaden  his 
style  a  little  to  get  himself  out  of  that 
two-sound  song  rut.  If  he  does  not, 
then  the  next  album  will  sound  like 
this  one,  and  "I  nnervisions"  and 
"Music  of  My  Mind"  and  "Tolking 
Book." 

"Fulfillingness'  First  Finale"  is 
really  a  good  album.  Stevie  Wonder 
has  reached  his  first  plateau.  It  is  a 
great  First  Fmole,  but  no  doubt  the 
best  is  yet  to  come. 

You  ask  for  one  word  to  describe 
Fulfillingness'  First  Finale?

Watch  out  Americal  This  film  may 
embarrass  you;  if  may  moke  you  sick. 
But  if  you  have  a  sense  of  humor, 
you'll  end  up  laughing  harder  than 
you  can  ever  remember. 

The  film,  "The  Groove  Tube,"  is  a 
collection  of  satirical  shorts  based  on 
TV  shows  everything  from  kiddie 

show      clowns      to      Gerifol      folks 
gallivanting  across  the  screen.

referring    to    drugs    or    sex    for    their 
punch. 

The  film  is  technically  excellent.  The 
dialogue,  music,  film  technique,  and 
lighting  are  exact  copies  of  the  actual 
shows.  The  acting  is  good  and  very 
humorous.  The  stories  ore  imoginative 
ond  well  written. 

All  in  all  the  only  criticism  that  can 
be  made  is  that  it  is  made  exclusively

AAoking  its  debut  here  at  Elmhurst 
yesterday  was  the  advanced  Spanish 
classes'  project  "De  Todo  un  Poco." 
Using  their  spare  time  to  produce  the

they  hove  significantly  contributed  to 
the  cultural  educotion  of  ENS  students. 

The  poper  whose  name  means 
appropriately  "A  Little  of  Everything," 
will  be  issued  to  interested  members 
of  the  student  body  for  a  small 
donation, 

"The  newspapers  will  be  completely 
in  Sponish,  informed  staff  member  Bev 
Free,  "and  will  include  editorials. 
news  items,  cultural  information, 
cortoons.  and  gossip." 

The  paper  will  be  distributed  on  the 
15th  of  each  month,  ond  members  of 
the  staff  will  rotate  several  of  the 
various  positions  so  everyone  will 
have  the  opportunity  to  experience 
several  newspaper  jobs. 

The  permanent  positions  include 
editors,  Nino  Morchese  and  Deonno

Reollzing  potential 

Speoking  singularly  of  Elmhurst.  Mr.  Hunt  is 
impressed  by  the  enihus'osm  of  the  student 
body,  bul  reodily  sees  the  need  for  o  unified 
'winners  spirit'.  "Spirit  isn't  high  enough"  he 
emphasizes.  "When  I  walk  into  o  gymnosium,  I 
con  usually  estimate  pretly  closely  the  ratio  of 
wins  lo  tosses  in  ihe  school  athletic  situolion," 
He  thinks  every  school  can  develop  o  'winners 
spirit'  which  will  produce  team  victories. 

Although  he  has  been  offered  severol  oltier 
jobs,  contracts,  and  odvonced  commissions,  Ted 
Hunl  prefers  to  remoin  louring  as  a  youlh 
entertoiner  until  he  retires  permoner^lly, 

"We're  o  very  yOung  country  ■  only  200  yeors

Robin  Hood  is  alive  and 
well  and  stealing  every 
archery  prize  around. 
Elmhurst's  expert  bowman, 
senior  Kanda  AAiller,  made  a 
trip  to  North  Vernon, 
Indiana,  on  Sept.  I ,  and 
returned  with  the  first  prize 
state  championship.  Finally, 
ofter  many  semi-finalist 
titles,  she  won  the  biggie. 

Kando  was  among  160 
participants  who  stuck 
through  three  days  of  sun  and 
rain  to  shoot  arrows  at 
various  targets  and  chalk  up 
points  towards  o  medal, 
patch  and  two-foot-toH 
Irophy. 

If  you  haven't  figured  it 
out  by  now,  Kanda  is  very 
much  involved  in  archery.  A 
member  of  the  Allen  County 
Archers,  she  was  last  year's 
v/inner  of  the  NFAA  (National

mess  around  with  any  bent 
slick  and  string.  The  bow  she 
uses  is  adorned  with 
measuring  gadgets, 
equalizing  poles  end  cost  her 
a  total  of  about  $1,0001  And 
if  that  doesn't  prove  she's 
into  archery,  how  many 
people  spend  three  to  four 
days  a  week  practicing  their 
shooting  skills  in  archery 
season  and  walk  around 
wearing  a  patch  that  says, 
"I'm  on  archery  nut?" 

Kondo's  dedication  led  her 
to  the  state  finals,  and 
ultimately  to  her  gool  of 
champion.

lUPU  hosts  debate 

Recently  the  Indiana  -  Purdue 
University  extension  here  in  Fort 
Wayne  sponsored  a  debate  workshop 
for  debate  teams  in  Northern  Indiana. 

The  workshop  begon  with  a 
demonstrative  panel  discussion.  The 
panel,  consisting  of  four  community 
members,  discussed  this  year's  debate 
topic,  whether  federal  campaigns 
should  be  financed  by  the  public. 

The  panel  members  represented 
such  organizations  as  Common  Cause 
and  The  League  of  Women  Voters. 
Each  of  the  representatives  tried  to 
give  not  necessarily  their  own  opinion 
but  that  view  held  by  their  respective 
organization.  Afterward,  the  students 
had  the  opportunity  to  ask  questions. 

Next  on  the  agenda  was  a 
discussion  by  a  panel  consisting  of  3 
debate  coaches.  Each  coach  gave  a 
lecture  on  one  of  the  basic  three 
elements  in  debate:  research,  arguing 
the  affirmative,  and  arguing  the 
negative. 

After  an  hour  long  break  for  lunch, 
'he  students  returned  for  a 
demonstration  debate  between  two 
different  varsity  teams.  After  the 
debate,  a  panel  of  three  judges  gave 
critiques  on  the  debate. 

"I  think  it  was  a  worthwhile 
experience  for  someone  who  has 
never  deboted  before."  stoted  one 
Elmhurst  attendant.

Three  Elmhurst  seniors  were  recently 
recognized  as  Commended  Scholars 
by  the  National  Merit  Scholarship 
program. 

Principal  Richard  Horstmeyer 
announced  that  Cathy  Cory,  John 
Seabold  and  Kevin  Young  received 
letters  of  commendation. 

Explaining  the  commendation, 
guidance  counselor  Mr.  Douglass 
Spencer  said  that  "the  commendation 
simply  recognizes  the  fact  that  these 
students  did  outstandingly  well  but  not 
sufficient  to  qualify  for  the  semi- 
finals. 

"However,"  he  added,  "it  should 
not  be  mistaken  thot  these  students 
necessarily     had     inferior     scores     to 


previous  Elmhurst  scholars.  Their 
scores  might  have  qualified  lost  year 
or  could  next  year,  Ifs  oil  a  matter  of 
national  competition  smce  Ihe  scores 
are  always  comparative." 

The  commendation  will  enhance  the 
student  probabilities  of  college 
acceptance  and  shows  that  they  will  be 
more  likely  to  be  sought  after  by 
colleges.  The  scores  will  be  sent  to  the 
schools  of  their  choices. 

Cathy,  John  and  Kevin  were  three  of 
38  thousand  recognized  scholars.  The 
38  thousand  were  port  of  over  I 
million  high  school  students  who  took 
their  PSAT  tests  last  October.  That 
seems  to  be  quite  on  achievement  for 
the  three  as  well  as  something  for 
Elmhurst  to  be  proud  of. 


"I'm  surprised  ol  how  for  olong  we  ore,  and 
we  still  hove  o  month  of  reheorsols  lefll"  sloted 
Nancy  Beodie.  "I  om  olso  hoppy  that  the  set  was 
put  upsoquickly." 

Ploy  ctioractets  ore  gerting  their  costumes 
stofted,  ond  ore  still  looking  for  props,  Oufing 
reheorsols,  they're  trying  lo  run  through  the  ploy 
without  scripts. 

As  o  publicity  venture,  the  cost  ond  crew  hove 
printed  up  T-shirls  odverlising  ihe  ploy.  Director 
Mr.  Don  Goss  porlicipoled  'n  ihis  siunl  by 
weoring  one  of  these  shirts  and  ceoled 
somewhal  of  o  misunderstanding,  Mr,  Goss's

Drawings  for  ihe  Fort  Wayne  tennis 
sectionals  were  held  on  Sept,  30  foi 
ihe  meet  taking  piece  at  North  Side 
beginning  this  evening. 

Coach  Robert  Horn  of  the  tennis 
team  says  that  Elmhurst  has  a  50-50 
chance,  depending  on  the  luck  of  the 
draw.  The  team's  record  so  for  is  2-8 
and  the  biggest  problem  that  faces 
Coach  Horn  is  inexperience. 

The  coach  also  explained  that 
Elmhurst's  own  courts  ore  not  likely 
to  be  ready  by  the  end  of  the  tennis 
season.  He  does  expect  them  lo  be 
completed  for  the  girls'  tennis  season 
next  spring,  and  for  use  by  the 
student  body. 


consisting      of       22       juniors      and 

sophomores  is  expecting  much 
improvement  during  the  four 
remaining  games  this  season. 

With  key  players  junior  Bill 
McCombs  and  sophomore  Doug  Pelz 
on  the  line,  plus  sophomore  running 
backs  John  Stiffler.  Nelson  Almond, 
and  Pot  Payton  there  could  be  much 
offensive  punch.  After  losses  to 
Northrop  22-0,  Luers  20-0,  and 
Harding  14-0,  Coach  Lambert 
expressed  much  hope  and  confidence 
in  his  offense. 

"Inexperience  is  our  big  problem 
now,"  said  Cooch  Lambert.  Only  (wo

The  Trojan  Varsity  foolball         gave  the  Knights  the  ball  on 


team  met  the  Knights  of 
Bishop  Luers  in  the  finale  of 
ihe  1974  Homecoming 
festivities  last  Saturday  ond 
were  forced  to  accept  their 
fourth  straight  defeat  of  the 
season. 

Things     didn't     look     too 
promising  from  the  beginning 
OS  the  Knights  ran  the  opening 
kick-off  72  yards  and  the  only 
ihing   that  saved   the  Trojans 
wos  o   Bishop   Luers   clipping 
penalty  that  brought  the  play 
back.  The  Trojans  forced   the 
Knights  to  punt  which  they  did 
very   effectively.   The   Trojans 
had   to   start   on   their   own   3 
yard  line.  The  next  play  they 
were    pushed    bock    to   the    1 
yard  line  by  on  illegal  motion 
penalty.    Then    on    the    next 
ploy  junior  Tony  Green   took 
Ihe  hand  off  from  sophomore 
quarter    back    Brian    Russell 
and   was   caught   in    the   end 
zone  for  a   safety  and  a   2-0 
lead  for  the  Knights. 

Despite  the  safety  the 
Trojan  defense  dug  in  and 
held  the  Knights  from  any 
further  scoring  until  a  bod 
snap   on   on   attempted   punt 


the  Trojan  11  with  only 
seconds  remaining.  On  the 
next  ploy  the  Luers  offense 
capitalized  for  7  points  with 
clock. 

Except        for        a        Luers 
touchdown    pass    the    second  * 
quarter  was  scoreless  and  the| 
contest  ended  15-0. 

The  next  opponent  for  Ihe 
Trojans  will  be  AAuncie  North

about  if.  Before  it  was  just  for 
fun." 

There  are  two  kinds  of 
courses,  a  flat  or  dirt  track  and 
Mark's  favorite,  motocross, 
which  consists  of  jumps,  sharp 
corners,  mudholes,  bumps, 
and  basically  natural  terrain. 

To  prepare  for  a  race,  Mark 
cleans  his  equipment, 
changes  the  spork  plugs  and 
oil  after  each  race. 

An  average  of  thirty  people 
enter  a  race,  and  even  against 
so  much  competition,  Mark 
has  won  oboul  16  trophies. 

In  summing  up  his  feelings 
about  this  exciting  hobby  and 
his  competition,  Mark 
concluded,  "Everybody  has 
something  they  like  to  do  and 
I  guess  this  is  what  I  like."

by  Mlk«  Landrlgan 

The  last  two  years  our  cross  country  teoms  hove 

"bombed  out"  ...   the  teoms   just   couldn't   gel   it 

together.  T  here  were  one  or  two  excellent  runners, 

but    as    0    team    they    couldn't    and    didn't    beot 
anybody. 

Cross  country  is  a  sport  that  can  change  from 
year  to  yeor  and  our  team  has  mode  o  miraculous 
change.  Af  present  the  Trojan  runners  ore  serious 
contenders  for  the  city  championship. 

At  our  first  pep  session,  the  baseball,  footboll 
and  tennis  teom  members  were  oil  recognized  but 
it  seemed  as  though  the  cross  country  team  was 
left  out.  Moybe  it  was  just  an  oversight,  but  they  do 

deserve    something    for     the    pain,     hard     work.     Besides  Poul  Stevens,  the  only  seniors  ore  John  Cline 
diligence,  and  sweat  it  takes  to  be  successful.  and  Randy  Smith,  so  the  team  looks  strong  next  yeor 


The  team  is  led  by  senior  Paul  Stevens.  Paul  has 
run  2'/j  miles  in  12:19.8,  which  is  the  second  fastest 
time  in  the  slate.  He's  the  kind  of  runner  you  better 
remember  to  see  ot  the  starting  line,  because  once 
the  race  starts  all  you'll  see  again  is  his  heels. 

Sophomore  Tim  Lee  has  stepped  into  the  number 
two  slot.  Tim  had  on  outstanding  year  in  ninth  grade 
running  both  cross  country  and  track.  His  best  time  of 
12:55  is  on  outstanding  time  for  a  sophomore. 

The  rest  of  the  team  consists  of  juniors  Rick 
Knulh,  Lorry  Raber,  Denny  Kirklond,  Tom 
Kiermaier,  John  Nowlin,  Bill  Brown,  and  Bob  Levy. 


Mike's  Side 


loo,  T  he  sophomores  ore  Jim  Freygong,  Bob  Curls 
Chad  Cline,  ond  Mike  Ausderan, 

Cross  country  is  demanding,  not  only  on  Ihe  legs, 
lungs,  and  mind  of  the  runner,  but  olso  requires 
determination,  desire,  and  dedicotion.  The  teom 
started  practice  Aug,  12  at  Chain-O-Lokes  Stole 
Pork.  T  hey  ron  four  hours  a  day  for  o  weekl 

The  runners  hove  been  through  some  tough 
practices  so  they  could  represent  our  school.  There 
ore  people  who  haven't  seen  a  meet  or  been 
involved  in  a  meet  don't  know  what  the  runners  go 
through  and  can't  appreciate  the  hard  work  and 
agony  of  cross  country.  The  team  needs  these 
people's  Support  and  all  our  support,  so  go  and 
cheer  them  on  al  their  meets.

Assigned  assembly  seats  rejected  by  student  body 


by  Marliynn  Scherer 

Lost  Ocl.  3  marked  the  date  of  what 
could  be  classified  as  a  failure.  Mr.  Ted 
Hunt  come  as  o  special  guest  to  the 
Elmhurst  gym  and  gave  on  excellent 
performance. 

Unforlonalely.  the  response  of  the 
student  body  wos  lousy.  Attribute  it  to 
apathy  or  other  over-used,  classic 
arguments,  but  what  resulted  was  a 
wasted  hour  for  both  the  audience  and 
the  performer, 

"I  don't  think  we  should  have  to  sit 
in  Our  homerooms  during  assemblies," 
stated   junior  Cris  Evans,  "because   if 


it's  like  a  pep  session,  you  don't  feel 
like  yelling  if  you're  not  with  your 
friends." 

Cris,  along  with  many  other 
Elmhurst  studenis,  feels  that  the  reason 
the  audience  response  is  so  low  at 
assemblies  is  simply  because  of 
homeroom  seating. 

Alphabetical  friends 

If  your  name  is  Joe  Smith,  and  your 
friends  happen  to  be  Carl  Smin  and 
Bob  Smiser  -  then  you're  m  luck  But 
friends  do  not  generally  congregate  m

'California  Split'  analyzes  gamblers 


by  Dave  Sllletto 

Gambling  -  have  you  ever 
wondered  whot  it  would  be  like  to 
win,  and  win  big?  Maybe,  at  4  a.m.,  as 
you  sal  half-dozed,  throwing  cords  off 
the  euchre  table?  If  you  have,  then  go 
see  Elliot  Gould  and  George  Segal  in 
"California  Split." 

Elliot  Gould  is  impressive  as  the  high 
spirited,  non-conformist,  professional 
gambler,  Segal  plays  the  more-or-less 
straight  man,  os  the  two  get 
themselves  in  and  out  of  tight 
situations.  The  two  actors  compliment 
each  other  very  well.  Their  friendship 
off-stage  shows  up  as  the  scenes 
between  them  come  to  life.  The  film 
hos  depth  because  of  the  creditable 


performonces  of  the  supporting  cast. 

The  plot  is  o  low-keyed  study  of  the 
relationship  of  two  gamblers  os  they 
deal  with  Lady  Luck.  The  pair  meet  at  a 
poker  table  and  have  quite  a  few 
drinks  afterwords.  This  begins  their 
friendship.  They  suddenly  begin  a 
winning  streak  which  eventually  nets 
them  over  eighty  thousand  dollars. 

The  movie  is  mainly  to  make  you 
lough,  but  there  is  a  little  more  meal  to 
chew  than  in  recent  successes  such  as 
"Blazing  Saddles."  Much  of  the  movie 
is  shot  on  locotion  at  racetracks  and 
casinos  featuring  large  crowds. 

If  you  want  a  lough,  and  to  see 
some  good  choracterizotions,  this 
movie  is  for  you!  Get  out  and  enjoy  it!

Recent 
jazz

byRlckRIfkIn 

This  week  I've  decided  to  bring 
some  jozi  olbums  to  light.  II  was 
suggested  thot  I  should  cover  more 
ihon  one  album  per  issue  and  I 
wanted  to  review  at  leost  one  or  two 
lozz  albums.  I  om  toking  this 
suggestion  and  >n  this  issue  t  hove 
picked  oul  three  new  or  recent  jazz 
Ip's  ihol  I  think  ore  noteworthy. 


CROSSWINDS  -  Billy  Cobham 

Since  the  break-up  of  ihe 
Mahovishnu  Orchestra  in  1973,  Billy 
Cobham  has  emerged  os  one  of  the 
finest,  fastest  drummers  ever. 
Everybody  knew  he  wos  good,  but  no 
one  enpected  the  music  that  come  out 
on  "Spectrum,"  his  firsi  olbum.  It  wos 
o  tremendous  success  and  it  gave  Billy 
Cobhom  the  sureness  he  needed  lo  go 
ahead  with  solo  work. 

Even  on  first  listening  "Crosswinds" 
is  unbelievable.  It  is  on  album  that 
constantly  moves.  II  changes  from 
slow,  eosy  melodies  to  pure  funk  to 
trumpet  and  trombone  solos,  orid 
finally  lo  ihe  incredible  drumming  of 
Billy  Cobham. 

The  musicianship  throughout  the 
album  is  extraordinary.  One  of  the 
best  tracks  on  the  record  is  "Flosh 
Flood."  It  contains  fiery  solos  by 
guitarist  John  Abercrombie  ond 
trumpet  player  Randy  Brecker. 
"Sovonnoh  the  Serene"  is  o  litlle 
mellower  ond  features  George  Duke 
on  keyboards.  Billy  Cobham, 
however,  is  the  reol  stot  of  ihe  album. 


.  The  drums  ore  fast  and  alwoys 
changing  and  the  liming  is  perfect. 

"Crosswinds"  has  no  flows.  It  is  o 
great  album  and  anyone  Inio  any  kind 
of  music  will  enjoy  it,  II  is  joiz  at  its 

WHERE  HAVE  I  KNOWN  YOU 
BEFORE  ■  Return  lo  Forever 
featuring  Chkk  Corea 

The  long-awaited  follow  up  to 
"Hymn  of  the  Seventh  GoloKy"  hos 
arrived.  Chick  Corea  hos  long  been 
famous  OS  on  e»ceptionol  pianist. 
With  ihe  forming  of  Return  to  Forever 
ond  the  success  of  "71h  Galaxy"  he 
hos  become  one  of  ihe  most 
prominent  figures  on  ihe  jozz-rock 
scene.  The  only  personnel  change  in 
Return  to  Forever  is  Al  DiMeolo 
replacing  former  guitarist  Bill 
ConnoVs. 

"Wfiere  hove  I  Known  You  Before" 
is  similar  lo  "Hymn  of  the  Seventh 
Goloxy"  in  mony  woys  but  it  Is  also 
more  diversified  and  improved. 
Return  to  forever  has  broadened  their 
style  o  little  and  the  music  is  now  less 
repetitious  ond  more  musical,  ' 

Corea  and  Dimeolo  provide  most  of 
Ihe  leads  but  the  bond  is  corried  b^ 
bossisi  Stanley  Clorke  and  drummer 
Lenny  White,  Clarke  solos  also,  but 
olong  wilh  While  they  Creole  the  • 
punch  thai  keeps  the  album  from 
turning  into  repeating  solos  that  go  on 
too  long, 
'       "Where  Hove  I  Known  You  Before" 


is  on  impressive  album.  It  shows  great 
group  loleni  and  great  individual 
talent.  It  seems  that  Chick  Corea  has 
finolly  formed  o  bond  thot  will  stoy  on 
top  for  o  long  lime.  Hopefully  Return 
to  Forever  will  continue  this  way  and 
produce  new  and  increosingly  better 
olbums  in  Ihe  future. 

MYSTERIOUS         TRAVELLER 
WEATHER  REPORT 


After  listening  to  olbums  ihot 
feature  o  drummer  or  o  piano  player, 
you  may  wont  lo  heor  a  good  jazz 
album  featuring  everybody. 
"Mysterious  Traveller,"  Weolher 
Report's  lolesi  olbum  is  the  one  you 

Weather  Report  is  mode  up  of  six 
exceptionally  tolented  and  creolive 
musicions.  Almost  all  ore  groduotes 
of  the  Miles  Davis  bond  and  they  ore 
knownfor  their  obilily  to  improvise. 

The  album  hos  many  changes  ond 
covers  o  brood  range  of  sound  and 
style.  Much  ot  it  follows  Lotin  and 
African  rhythm  based  on  the  endless 
percussion  of  Dom  Um  Romoo.  Many 
of  the  songs  ore  highlighted  by 
Wayne  Shorler's  sok  solos  or  Josef 
Zowinul's  poino. 

"Mysterious  Traveller"  is  o 
complete  album.  To  quote  "Rolling 
Stone"  it  is  "a  triumph  of  feeling  over 
technology."  You  will  wont  lo  heor  il 
over  and  overogoin. 


Letter  to 
the  editor 

To  the  editor: 

There  seems  to  have  been  a 
receni  uproar  among  students 
about  ihe  issue  of  abortion.  It 
is  becoming  practically 
impossible  to  voice  an  opinion 
on  the  subject  v^ithout  being 
instantly  condemned  as  o 
murderer,  ultra-conservative, 
or  staunch  moralist. 

After  all  the  arguments,  the 
question  seems  to  boil  down 
to:  when  does  life  begin?  The 
pro-lifers  seem  to  agree  on 
the  moment  of  conception  as 
the  lime  when  life  begins.  The 
pro-obortionists  seem  to  hove 
varying  opiniorts,  among 
them,  at  three  months,  of 
birth,  or  when  the  brain  and 
heart  first  function. 

It  seems  that  the  pro-lifers 
try  to  make  a  scientific 
argument  out  of  a  basically 
philosophical  question.  It  also 
seems  rather  presumptuous 
that  they  should  moke  up  the 
rest  of  society's  mind. 
Certainly,  no  one  woman  has 
to  have  on  abortion,  but  by 
the-  some  right,  no  woman 
should  be  denied  one.  The 
question  should  remain  up  to 
the  individual.

In  the  midst  of  Fort  Wayne's 
cold  November  weather,  a  tropical 
temperature  of  105  degrees  will 
register  on  the  Elmhm-st  stage. 

The  heat  will  be  reflected  in  the 
bamboo  set  pieces,  sandals  and 
lines  of  the  school  play,  "My  Three 
Angels". 

This  years  production  takes 
place  in  French  Guiana  in  1912.  It's 
Christmas  and  a  variety  of  visitors 
to  the  Ducotels'  shop  caiise  a 
commotion.  Snakes,  convicts  and 
wealthy  barons  make  arrivals. 

The  action  is  directed  by  Mr. 
Don  Goss  who  is  assisted  in  this 
job  by  Mrs,  Shelly  Wellington  and 
Miss  Jennifer  Manth.  Set 
construction  involved  the 
stagecraft  class  and  cast  members 
as  well  as  Mr.  Goss. 


Rehearsals  started  when 
auditions  ended  Sept-  15. 
Weekdays  from  6-9,  the  ten 
characters,  along  with  stage 
manager  Cindy  Roas  and  cuer  Julie 


Ross,  meet  on  the  stage.  Moj 
the  time  the  whole  play  ig , 
through.  Occasionally,  with  s[ 

and  repeats,  there  is  time  only 
two  of  the  three  acts. 

The  title  of  the  show  refers  to 
three  main  characters 
convicts.  Two  of  them 
murderers  and  one,  the  lead  i 
general  swindler.  Dave 
plays  this  part  of  Joseph.  Altha 
this  is  Dave's  first  experiencei

This  is  o  problem  ihol  every  school  hos,  bui 
Snidef  hos  found  o  way  lo  moke  morning

mosi  of  oil ...  fun. 

Morning  onnouncemenis  ol  Snider,  known  os 
"Morning  Modness"  ore  done  by  five  students 
who  hove  donoled  iheit  first  period  lo  working 


on  this  five-mfnule  (ond  sometimes  len-mmu'e) 
morning  program. 

The  ideo  ot  "Morning  Madness"  wos 
developed  lost  April  by  Keith  Sluhlman  who  is 
now  a  senior  and  direciof  of  the  program.  Since 
lost  year,  "Morning  Madness"  has  gotten  bigger 
and  better.  Other  onnouncers  include:  Jeff 
Shurr,  Susan  Vonce,  Kevin  Johnson,  ond  Norman 
lindohl,  (Lindohl  will  take  o-4st  the  progrom 
when  Stuhlmon  groduoles.)  In  addition  to  'he 
announcers,  mony  other  students  hove  donoted 
iheif  first  periods  to  help  with  production. 

Reel-t&-reel  onnouncementi 

In  the  morning,  Stuhlmon  gets  ihe 
onnouncemenis  from  the  office,  sorts  them  out. 
and  ossigns  them  to  his  onnouncers.  Earlier,  they 
hove  taped  their  features.  They  dub  the

They  operate  from  o  room  thol  wasn't  used  for 
anything  last  year  and  has  since  been  converted 
into  o  studio.  Their  equipment  consists  of  record 
ployers.  lope  recorders,  videotape  machines, 
etc.  and  they  hove  recently  installed  a  sound 
board.  They  get  most  of  their  equipment  from 
the  audio  visual  dept.  They  hove  o  record  and 
sound  effects  librory  which  they  built  up 
themselves. 

After  the  formol  onnouncemenis  ore  over, 
they  reolly  hove  fun  with  the  feotures,  which 
could  be  anything  from  hamming  up  the  lunch 
lo  a  tour  of  the  school  for  the  sophomores 
{which  they  did  Ot  the  beginnmg  of  the  year,) 
Some  of  their  regulor  features  include  oll-Stor 
interviews  with  the  cooches  or  directors  of  the 
school's  sports  teams  or  clubs,  and  idiot 
interviews,  where  ihey  get  comments  on  a 
sub|ect  from  different  students  and  teachers. 

The  group  hos  received  very  few  complaints 
becouse  they  try  lo  interest  the  mojority;  as 
Stuhlmon  sloted,  "We've  got  to  pleose  75%  of 
the  people  every  doy,"

Tennis  team 


IS 


by  Kevin  Lee 

The  Trojan  tennis  team  was 
defeated  4-1  by  Northrop 
Saturday,  Oct.  5,  in  the  annual 
tennis  sectional  tournament  at 
Harding  High  School. 

The  sectional  was  changed 
this  year  with  more  emphasis 
put  on  team  ploy.  The  team  as 
0  whole  had  to  win  or 
everyone  on  ihe  team  was  out 
of  the  sectionals.  This  is  what 
happened  to  the  Elmhurst 
tennis  team:  senior  Greg 
Hershberger,  the  number  one 
player  on  Ihe  team,  beat  his 
opponent,  but  even  though  he 
won,  he  could  not  go  on  in 
sectionals  becouse  the  team 
lost. 

Individual  results  of  the 
tennis  sectional  were  Greg 
Hershberger  6-4,  6-4  over  Tim 
Burke;  Jim  Theye  was 
defeated  by  Brad  Oren  6-4,  6- 
1-  Stan  Sorgen  was  defeated 
■by  Mike  Beer  6-0,  6-1;  Ted 
Ornas  and  Tod  Huntley  were 
defeated  by  Tom  Sleckbeck 
and  Greg  Volliman  6-3,  6-1; 
George  Huber  and  Lynn 
Brown  were  defeated  by  Tim 
Speshyock  and  Dale  Trainer  6- 
0,  6-4. 


Coach  Horn  emphasized 
that  a  lack  of  experience  was 
the  main  reason  for  the  4-1 
setback  by  Northrop.  Of  the 
seven  players  only  Greg 
Hershberger,  Jim  Theye  and 
George  Huber  had  any 
playing  experience  before  the 
season  started  and 

Hershberger    was    the    only 
returning  letterman. 

Coach  Horn,  who  will  be 
returning  as  tennis  coach  next 
year,  said  that  he  enjoyed 
coaching  tennis.  He  felt  that 
his  own  inexperience  as  a 
coach  hurt  the  team  along 
with  having  no  tennis  courts. 
Looking  forward  to  next 
year,  Coach  Horn  stated, 
"With  eight  people  hoving 
experience  back  and  a 
change  of  strategy  concen- 
trating on  doubles,  we  are 
looking  forward  to  next 
season."  After  a  2-1 1  rebuild- 
ing season  with  wins  only 
against  South  Side  and 
Woyne,  the  Trojan  tennis  team 
wilt  have  all  winter  and 
summer  to  aim  toward  that 
third  week  in  August  when 
practice  will  stort  again.

Stewart;  and  daughter 
,-W,ri.  Louise,  acted  by  Melissa 
Hunier. 


Tom  participated  in  a  9th  grade  ■ 
play  at  Kekionga.  Last  year  he  saw 
Elmhurst's  "The  Effects  of 
Gamma  Rays  on  Man  in  The  Moon 
Marigolds"  and  thought  it  might 
be  an  interesting  and^n  thing  to 
do,  Tom  predicts  the  play  will  go 
over  well. 

Sarah  played  the  lead  role  of 
Tillie  in  last  year's  play.  She  was 
also  in  "J.  B.  "  at  First 
Presbyterian  Theater.  Backstage 
she  has  worked  shows  at  Civic. 
First  Presbyterian  and  The  Little 
Theater,  such  as  "The  Typist  and 
the  Tiger,"  "King  and  I"  and  "L'il 
Abner." 

Melissa  was  another  player  in 
last  year's  play.  She  likes  "My 
Three  Angels"  better  however, 
because  'It's  funny  and  has  more 
people  in  it."  She  would  like  to  go 
into  other  theater  groups  when  she 
has  more  time. 

The  romance  in  the  play  comes 
between  Melissa  as  Marie  Louise 


and  Dave  Archer  as  Paul  Trochard. 
Paul  arrives  in  French  Guiana  with 
his  rich  Uncle  Henri  played  by  Jeff 
Sills.  Dave  was  in  his  ninth  grade 
play.  He  sees  theater  as  time 
consuming  but  he  likes  it.  Jeff 
appeared  in  some  plays  at  his 
church  and  says  he  generaUy  gets  a 
"Scrooge"  type  part.  As  for  other 
theaters  in  town,  Jeff  admires  the 
work  of  Purdue-Indiana  Theater. 

Two  other  characters  make  visits 
to  the  Ducotel  shop  --  Madame 
Parole,  played  by  Nancy  Beadie, 
and  a  lieutenant,  played  by  Kent 
GaskUl.  Nancy  worked  crew  on 
"You're  a  Good  Man  Charlie 
Brown"  at  First  Presbyterian 
Theater  and  has  attended  lots  of 
plays.  Kent  got  involved  in  the  play 
because  he  has  a  general  interest  in 
speaking.

Football 


Mike's  Side 


by  Mike  Landrlgan 

At  the  start  of  every  sports 
season,  teams  are  drilled  on 
basic  fundamentals  of  that 
sport.  Fundamentals  are 
stressed  right  on  up  to  the  pro 
ranks.  George  Allen,  Paul 
Brown.  Don  Shulo  and  Tom 
Landry  ore  four  well-knov^'n 
successful  pro  coaches  who 
hove  stressed  fundamentals  in 
football. 

Coach  Herman  has  stressed 
football  basics  but  there  have 
been  some  problems.  Usually, 
'he  older,  experienced 
players  have  been  taught  the 
different  techniques  of 
blocking,  tackling,  passing 
and  catching.  I  have  been  told 
thai  some  of  our  experienced 
people  are  now  being  taught 


FLOWERS  ...for 


the  basics  of  football- 
Looking  down  the  rosier, 
you  see  names  of  new 
sophomores,  juniors  and  a 
few  seniors.  In  reality,  this 
inexperienced  team  has  only 
been  "creamed"  by  Muncie 
North.  In  that  game  some  of 
the  players  were  seeing  their 
first  varsity  action. 

Injuries  have  really  plagued 
Elmhurst  this  year.  The  Trojans 
lost  a  valuable  lineman 
before  the  season  started  in 
senior  Jeff  Allen.  Jeff  was 
supposed  to  hove  a  real  shot 
at  All-City  honors.  Instead  Jeff 
has  been  watching  from  the 
side  lines. 

Sophomore  Doug  Peters 
was  injured  early  in  the  year. 
He  is  just  now  returning  to  the 


team  after  a  five-week  layoff. 
Doug  is  big  and  quick  and  a 

real  help  lo  the  defense. 

Sophomore  Tim  Beck  and 
senior  Lyie  Howard  were  hurt 
during  the  Luers  game  but  it  is 
hoped  they'll  be  able  to  return 
quickly.  In  the  same  gome, 
senior  Dove  Campbell 
sustained  a  leg  injury  and  he's 
out  for  the  rest  of  the  season. 


Mark  Spears  has  a  neck 
injury  that  will  affect  at  least 
one  other  sport.  Not  only  was 
Mark  valuable  to  our  football 
team  but  also  he  is  an 
excellent  wrestler.  During  the 
rumble  with  Luers,  Mark 
chipped  a  vertebrae.  He  won't 
play  football  any  more  this 
year.  The  doctor  also  said  he 
won't  be  able  to  wrestle. 


The  Trojan  team  has  had  an 
uphill  fight.  Support  their 
efforts.  It's  a  lot  easier  to  give 
100%  when  you're  playing  in 
front  of  stands  full  of 
screaming  backers.  The 
players  really  appreciate  your 
support.  Try  lo  be  in  ihe 
stadium  at  their  remaining 
ball  games.

Movie  ratings  discussed,  abortion  rebuked 


To  the  editor: 

I  feel  that  the  movie 
rating  system  is  outdated 
and  unfair.  These  are  the 
reasons  I  give  for  changing 
the  system. 

1.  The  ratings  are 
unreliable.  For  example, 
violent  movies  such  as 
"Bonnie,and  Clyde"  get  a 
"GP"  rating,  while, 
ironically,  underage  skinny 
dippers  in  "Woodstock" 
receive  an  "R"  rating. 

2.  A  distant  rating 
committee  decides  what  I 
should  see,  they  deprive  me 
of  my  individual  decision. 

3.  The  movie  raters  legally 
can  prevent  anyone  under  18 
from  seeing  certain  movies 
that  they  have  rated  "R" 
and"X". 

4.  I  am  mature  enough  to 
know  what  I  view  as 
acceptable;  I  have  my  own 
morals.  What  I  see  should 
be  an  individual  decision, 
not  one  that  others  make  for 
me. 


to  what  can  be  expected  in 
the  film.  My  main  point  is 
that  viewing  regulations 
regarding  age  be  dropped. 
This  would  allow  free, 
informed,  individual 
decisions,  without  forcing 
previous  judgments  on  the 
viewers.

Dave  SiUetto 

To  the  editor: 

I  am  writing  in  response 
to  the  letter  to  the  editor  in 
the  last  issue.  The  young 
lady  seemed  to  think  that 
solid  facts  are  not  good  to 
use  as  evidence,  that 
philosophical  or  unprovable 
arguments  are  better  when 
talking  on  abortion.  I  was 
quite  surprised  by  this 
because  generally  we  pro- 
lifers  are  charged  with  not 
having  enough  facts. 


In  C.R.  's  letter  she  stated, 
"The       question       should 
remain        up        to        the 
individual."  We  all  can  kill 
5.  Movie  rating  laws  are     ^l  "^  ^^"^^^  ^^^^\'  PrO'lifers 
sporadically  enforced,  which 


points  toward  their  failure. 

In  conclusion,  I  would 
suggest  that  movie  ratings 
be  given  in  regard  to  sex  and 
violence.  I  feel  then,  that  the 


believe    that    abortion 
killing  a  beautiful,  innocent 


human. 

Most  people  aren't  aware 
of  the  types  of  abortions  and 
how  cruel  they  really  are.  In 

D   and   C,   the   fetus   is 


the  skin  of  the  fetus  is 
slowly  and  cruelly  burned 
off,  killing  the  infant.  The 
suction  abortion  sucks  the 
fetus  through  a  tube  tearing 
it  to  bits,  In  a  caesarian 
section  the  baby  is 
surgically  removed  from  the 
mother  and  thrown  into  a 
waste  basket  to  die. 

We  cannot  tell  the  future 
and  decide  if  a  person's  hfe 
will  be  too  miserable  to  live. 
We  can't  see  the  future, 

I  was  born  with  an 
exposed  bladder  and  several 
other   minor   abnormalities. 


My  parents  were  told  I 
wouldn't  live  long  and 
wouldn't  walk.  Today,  I  live 
a  norma]  life;  we  can't  tell 
what  is  in  the  future  and 
what  science  will  bring. 
Abortions  are  murder.

Troians  upset  South  in  overtime  tiiriiler 


by  Jim  McCleneghen 

After  a  startling  Trojan  upset 
Over  heavily  favored  South 
Side  the  Elmhurst  football 
team,  which  w/os  thought  by 
many  to  be  a  repeat  of  last 
year's  team,  now  has  an 
excellent  chance  at  the  SAC 
south  crown. 

The  Trojans,  now  1-1  in  the 
SAC,  are  tied  with  Bishop 
Luers   for    second    place    ond 


one  game  behind  South, 
which  now  sports  a  2-1  record. 
However,  there  is  still  one 
more  wrinkle  in  this  sudden 
race.  South  Side  has  no  more 
SAC  gomes  this  season  while 
the  Trojans  and  Bishop  Luers 
both  play  Wayne.  Luers  plays 
,the  Generals  on  Oct.  25  and 
then  on  Nov,  I.  Elmhurst  will 
meet  the  Generals  to  try  and 
boost  their  record  to  2-1 .

Wayne  game  for  all  the  marbles 


The  Trojan  football  team 
boosted  its  SAC  record  to  1- 
1  going  into  their  final  and 
most  important  game 
against  the  Wayne  Generals 
ihis  Friday  at  Wayne 
Stadium. 

The  Generals,  beaten  last 
weekend  by  Luers,  are  now 
out  of  contention  for  the 
south  division  crown,  while 
South  Side  and  Bishop 
Luers  are  both  2-1  and 
waiting  for  the  results  of  the 
Elmhurst-Wayne  game  to 
see  who  will  represent  the 
south  part  of  the  city. 

The  Trojans  are  coming 
into  Friday's  game  after  a 
21-17  last  minute  thriller  at 
North  Side.  Senior  Reggie 
Hill  ran  for  touchdowns  in 
both  halves  to  lead  the 
Elmhurst  running   game. 


and  a  tough  defense  held 
North  to  only  7  points  in  the 
first  half. 

However,  the  second  half 
was  dominated  by  North 
Side.  Scoring  once  and 
adding  the  two  point 
conversion  brought  the 
score  to  21-15.  The  Trojan 
offense  failed  to  mount  a 
drive  and  were  forced  to  give 
up  the  ball.  North  Side  then 
marched  down  the  field  to 
the  Elmhurst  1-foot  line 
where  the  sticky  defense 
held  for  2  plays  in  a  row.  The 
offense  was  again  held  to 
little  or  no  yardage  and  on 
fourth  down  Brian  Russell 
intentionally  fell  in  the  end 
zone  for  a  safety,  thus 
giving  up  two  points  but 
also  giving  the  Trojans  a 
chance  to  kick  off  and  put 


the  ball  at  the  other  end  of 
the  field  with  Uttle  time 
remaining. 

All  in  all  the  whole  season 
comes  down  to  the  final 
game  with  Wayne.  If  the 
Generals  win  then  South 
Side  will  be  the  south 
champion  by  virtue  of 
beating  Luers  in  the  regular 
season.  If  Elmhurst  wins  all 
the  athletic  directors  will 
vnt^  for  the  champion.

Vol.  35,  No.  6 


November  13, 1974 


The  girls'  voUeybal]  team,  coached  by  Mrs. 
Cathy  Russell,  has  been  practicing  diligently 
for  the  past  five  weeks  in  preparation  for  the 
upcoming  sectionals  Nov.  5,  6,  and  7  at  Wayne. 

The  team's  been  having  a  bit  of  bad  luck  and 
they've  been  up  against  some  of  the  top  teams 
in  the.^city.  Coach  Russell  is  hopeful  for  their 
remaining  games  though.  She  states  that  the 
potential  is  there  but  it's  hard  to  find  just  the 
right  combination  of  six  girls  who  will  work 
well  together. 

Right  combo  shows  up  at  Adams  CcDtral 

They  had  the  right  combo  Oct.  21  against 
Adams  Central,  whom  they  beat  easily  13-8 
and  15-6.  Unfortunately  they  lost  to 
Homestead  the  same  night  in  a  close  game. 
Still  Coach  Russell  says  the  team  knows  its 
skills  well  and  the  girls  are  really  "up"  for 
every  game.  Yet  the  team  experiences 
difficulty  when  up  against  strongly  aggressive 
teams  as  they  have  been  so  far. 

The  team  rallied  itself  several  times  as  seen 
by  the  Northrop  game.  Trojan  girls  suffered  a 
close  loss  after  playing  three  games.  Elmhurst 
lost  the  first  game  9-15.  rallied  to  win  the 
second  18-16.  and  then  lost  the  final  game  IS- 
IS. 

Four  Trojan  starters  are  seniors 

The  six  starters  for  the  Trojans  are  seniors 
Sally  Hinton,  Marty  Kelly,  Bonnie  Carrion. 
and  Dede  Whitman,  with  juniors  Betty 
Carrion  and  Carol  Quance.  Coach  Russell  says 
the  seven  on  the  bench  are  of  equal  ability  but 
lack  of  experience  keeps  them  from  starting. 
She  is  really  enthusiastic  about  the 
sophomores  on  the  team  and  feels  that  it's 
going  to  be  a  solid  team  for  Elmhurst  in  the 
future.

AFS  announces  choices  for 
international  study  program 


StueCe*a  CMttcd  fr()!^*t«u*t^  ea^Mwai 


Seniors  Pat  Prader  and  Lesbe  Raymer 
were  chosen  by  a  committee  of  nine,  as 
possible  exchange  students  through  the 
Americans  Abroad  Program  (A. A).  The 
committee  consisted  of  members  of  the  adult 
AFS  club  and  one  from  the  student  club. 

The  A.A.  program  is  designed  to  enable 
students  to  spend  either  a  three  or  a  nine- 
month  period  in  a  foreign  country-  The 
students  live  as  members  of  a  family  and 
community,  participating  in  that  country's 
culture.  They  have  responsibilities,  friends, 
and  family  life. 

Both  girls  will  have  their  names  and  their 
many  forms  sent  to  New  York,  After  further 
examination,  the  Americans  Abroad 
program  will  advise  them  whether  or  not 
their  applications  have  been  accepted. 

Pat  and  Leslie  are  not  competing  with  each 
other.  They  are  among  a  group  of  students 
from  the  entire  United  States  who  are 
applying  for  a  place  in  the  program. 


Both  agree  on  toughest  question 

The  question  asked  by  the  committee 
which  both  Pat  and  Leslie  agreed  was  the 
toughest  was,  "Why  should  we  pick  you 
instead  of  the  others?  Why  do  you  feel  you're 
more  qualified?  " 

"I  waa  extremely  nervoua-I  was  thinking 


that  my  whole  future  depended  on  this 
interview,"  commented  Pat.  She  also  said 
that  she  really  couldn't  bebeve  she  was 
chosen  adding  she  was  afraid  that  any 
minute  they  would  say  they  were  "just 
kidding.  " 

When  asked  where  she  would  like  to  go, 
Leslie  said.  "Anywhere  they  send  me  will  be 
fine-  I  don't  really  think  the  specific  country 
will  make  much  difference  in  the  experience 
from  an  overall  view." 


Family  and  friends  interviewed 

Both  of  their  families  were  interviewed  on 
Nov.  6  by  members  of  the  committee.  In 
addition,  both  girls  must  have  personal 
relationship  applications  completed  by 
family  and  friends. 

Pat.  who  is  president  of  the  Elmhurst 
chapter  of  AFS,  plans  to  attend  LU.Fort 
Wayne,  majoring  in  accounting.  She  would 
like  to  remain  active  in  AFS  through  the 
adult  chapter. 

Leslie,  also  planning  to  attend  college,  is  in 
hopes  of  attending  Purdue  University  in 
Lafayette.  "I  want  to  major  in  biological 
sciences  and  get  into  genetics.  I  have  the  job 
I  want  all  figured  out.  Now  all  I  have  to  do  is 
learn  how  to  do  it  and  find  someplace  that 
wants  me,"  she  commented. 


■It'll  really  be  a  great  thing  to  do 
with  your  Saturday,"  commented 
student  council  president  senior 
Derek  Paris  about  the  upcoming 
"Elmhurst  first  annual  post-football 
season,  pre-basketball  season,  city- 
wide,  everybody  welcome,  Vail 
come  carnival." 

"I  hope  to  involve  the  entire 
student  body,"  Derek  began, 
continuing,  "Although  Elmhurst 
students  are  putting  it  together, 
many  other  area  student  councils 
will  be  making  booths  and  hopefully 
attendance  will  include  many 
students    other    than    those    from 

EHS. 

Aside  from  the  area  student 
councils,  many  Elmhurst 

organizations  are  planning  booths. 
The  ideas  range  in  activities  from 
Dart  Throws  and  Duck  Ponds  to  the 
Dunking  Tank  and  pie  throw  (which 
will  provide  targets  such  as  none 
other  than  Principal  Horstmeyer 
and  Mr.  Miller). 

' 'The  object  of  the  carnival. ' ' 
stated  Derek,  "is  really  to  provide  a 
good  time."  The  student  council  is 
merely  acting  as  the  organizing 
force  behind  the  groups  which  will 
be  trying  to  make  some  money 
through  the  carnival. 

"I  think  it's  going  to  go  vary 
well,"  commented  senior  Greg 
Hershberger.  "The  Quill  and  Scroll 
spook  house  will  probably  be  one  of 
the  more  exciting  events." 


The  jazz  band,"  informed  Bob 
Cross,  "will  be  playing  for  two  half- 
hour  periods  throughout  the 
evening". 

Tickets  will  be  sold  at  a  set  price 
presale  and  at  the  door.  There  will 
also  be  a  small  door  fee  collected. 
Booths  will  be  set  up  in  the  English 
hall,  cafeteria  and  the  publications 
room. 

"Prizes  will  be  things  that  are 
worth  winning,"  reported  president 
Paris.  Plans  now  include  prizes 
varying  from  32-oz.  coke  to  stuffed 
toys. 

In  addition  to  all  the  other 
activities,  the  night  of  the  carnival 
will  see  the  crowning  of  the  "Queen 
of  the  carnival."  The  girl  with  the 
most  pennies  will  be  entitled  to 
claim  this  title  and  will  be  crowned 
late  in  the  evening.  Girls  are 
welcome  to  start  collecting  pennies 
any  time  and  are  reminded  that 
student  council  will  receive  the 
benefits  from  the  contest. 

"It's  really  hoped  the  clubs  are  as 
enthusiastic  about  this  as  student 
council  is,"  commented  junior 
Marty  Miller.  "Time  is  really  at  a 
premium  and  the  amount  of  work 
that  goes  into  this  will  be  reflected 
in  the  success  of  the  evening. 

Doors    will    open    at    7:30    on . 
Saturday    evening,    Nov.    23,    and 
activities      will      conclude      at 
approximately  11  p.m. 


The  girls'  volleyball  team,  coached  by  Mrs. 
Cathy  Russell,  has  been  practicing  diligently 
for  the  past  five  weeks  in  preparation  for  the 
upcoming  sectionals  Nov.  5.  6,  and  7  at  Wavne.     I

Seniors  Pat  Prader  and  LesUe  Raymer 
were  chosen  by  a  committee  of  nine,  as

instead  of  the  others?  Why  do  you  feel  you're 
more  qualified?" 

"1  was  extremely  r.ervous--I  was  thinking 


that  my  whole  future  depended  on  this 
interview."  commented  Pat.  She  also  said 
that  she  reaUy  couldn't  believe  she  was 
chosen  adding  she  was  afraid  that  any 
minute  they  would  say  they  were  "just 
kidding." 

When  asked  where  she  would  like  to  go, 
Leslie  said.  "Anywhere  they  send  me  will  be 
fine,  I  don't  really  think  the  specific  country 
wiU  make  much  difference  in  the  experience 
from  an  overall  view." 


Family  and  friends  interviewed 

Both  of  their  families  were  interviewed  on 
Nov.  6  by  members  of  the  committee.  In 
addition,  both  girls  must  have  personal 
relationship  applications  completed  by 
family  and  friends. 

Pat.  who  is  president  of  the  Elmhurst 
chapter  of  AFS.  plans  to  attend  I. U, -Fort 
Wayne,  majoring  in  accounting.  She  would 
like  to  remain  active  in  AFS  through  the 
adult  chapter. 

Leslie,  also  planning  to  attend  college,  is  in 
hopes  of  attending  Purdue  University  in 
Lafayette.  "I  want  to  major  in  biological 
sciences  and  get  into  genetics.  I  have  the  job 
I  want  all  figured  out.  Now  all  1  have  to  do  is 
learn  how  to  do  it  and  find  someplace  that 
wants  me,"  she  commented. 


"It'll  really  be  a  great  thing  to  do 
with  your  Saturday."  commented 
student  council  president  senior 
Derek  Paris  about  the  upcoming 
"Elmhurst  first  annual  post-football 
season,  pre-basketball  season,  city- 
wide,  everybody  welcome,  Y'all 
come  carnival." 

"I  hope  to  involve  the  entire 
student  body,"  Derek  began, 
continuing,  "Although  Ehnhurst 
students  are  putting  it  together, 
many  other  area  student  councils 
will  be  making  booths  and  hopefully 
attendance  will  include  many 
students    other    than    those    from 

EHS.  ^     ^ 

Aside    from    the    area    student 

councils,  many  Elmhurst 

organizations  are  plaiming  booths. 
The  ideas  range  in  activities  from 
Dart  Throws  and  Duck  Ponds  to  the 
Dunking  Tank  and  pie  throw  (which 
will  provide  targets  such  as  none 
other  than  Principal  Horstmeyer 
and  Mr.  Miller). 

"The  object  of  the  carnival," 
stated  Derek,  "is  really  to  provide  a 
good  time."  The  student  council  is 
merely  acting  as  the  organizing 
force  behind  the  groups  which  will 
be  trying  to  make  some  money 
through  the  carnival. 

"I  think  ifs  going  to  go  vary 
well,"  commented  senior  Greg 
Hershberger.  "The  Quill  and  Scroll 
spook  house  will  probably  be  one  of 
the  more  exciting  events." 


"The  jazz  band,"  informed  Bob 
Cross,  "will  be  playing  for  two  half- 
hour  periods  throughout  the 
evening". 

Tickets  will  be  sold  at  a  set  price 
presale  and  at  the  door.  There  will 
also  be  a  small  door  fee  collected. 
Booths  will  be  set  up  in  the  English 
hall,  cafeteria  and  the  publications 
room. 

"Prizes  will  be  things  that  are 
worth  winning,"  reported  president 
Paris.  Plans  now  include  prizes 
varying  from  32-oz.  coke  to  stuffed 
toys. 

In  addition  to  all  the  other 
activities,  the  night  of  the  carnival 
will  see  the  crowning  of  the  "Queen 
of  the  carnival."  The  girl  with  the 
most  pennies  will  be  entitled  to 
claim  this  title  and  will  be  crowned 
late  in  the  evening.  Girls  are 
welcome  to  start  collecting  pennies 
any  time  and  are  reminded  that 
student  councU  will  receive  the 
benefits  from  the  contest. 

"It's  really  hoped  the  clubs  are  as 
enthusiastic  about  this  as  student 
council  is,"  commented  junior 
Marty  Miller.  "Time  is  really  at  a 
premium  and  the  amount  of  work 
that  goes  into  this  will  be  reflected 
in  the  success  of  the  evening. " 

Doors    will    open    at    7:30    on. 
Saturday    evening,    Nov.    23,    and 
activities      will      conclude      at 
approximately  11  p.m.

Teacher   Ambassador    e:(plains    uieuis 


by  Sue  Marquis 

"I  am  still  adapting  to  American 
cultures  and  it  is  quite  a  learning 
experience,"  stated  Miss  Francoise 
Reybet,  who  is  spending  six  weeks 
at  Elmhurst  with  French  and 
government  classes. 

As  a  foreign  exchange  teacher 
from  France.  Mile.  Reybet  is  here 
with  the  Experiment  in 
International  Living  Program.  This 
is  an  organization  that  tries  to 
promote  better  understanding  with 
the  people  and  cultures  of  other 
countries. 

"Even  though  I  have  studied 
English  12  years,  I  am  still  learning 
the  language,"  said  Mile.  Reybet. 

School  days  differ 

French  school  days  are  somewhat 
different  from  American .  Their 
school  week  lets  the  students  have 
Wednesday  off  but  to  make  up  for 
Wednesday,  they  go  half  days  on 
Saturday.  In  the  class  room  before 
school  starts,  all  the  students  must 
stand  until  the  teacher  arrives  and 
gives  permission  to  be  seated.  "Also 
the  students  seem  to  have  more 
respect  in  speaking  out  their 
opinions  in  France  than 
Americans,"  compared  Mile. 
Reybet. 

Dating  in  France  usually  starts 
after  graduation  from  high  school. 
Twenty  is  usually  the  average  age 
for  marriage.  Things  in  general  are 


taken  more  seriously. 
Family  life  very  meaningful 

Family  life  is  much  more 
meaningful  to  families  in  France. 
The  evening  meal  is  the  most 
important  part  of  the  day.  Many 
things  are  discussed  and  this  is  the 
time  most  decisions  are  made.  Also 
the  whole  family  is  usually  in  on  all 
the  decisions  made.  The  whole 
family  unit  is  much  stronger- 
There  aren't  as  memy  cars  on  the 
streets  since  the  legal  driving  age  in 
France  is  18.  This  really  helps  the 
traffic  jams  that  are  sometimes 
experienced  here  in  America. 
The  only  office  in  the  government 


that  the  people  vote  on  is  the 
presidency.  The  president  then 
appoints  the  rest  of  the  cabinet  and 
representatives  as  we  know  them. 
Also  the  term  of  office  is  7  years. 

The  candidates  are  allowed  to 
make  speeches  but  the  cut-downs 
aren't  brought  out  and  made  into 
big  issues. 

America  is  nice  country 

In  conclusion,  Mile.  Reybet  said, 
"America  is  a  nice  country  but  it 
will  take  awhile  for  me  to  feel 
completely  safe  about  being  able  to 
speak  out."

The  solo  speech  team  competed 
last  Saturday  at  both  Carroll  High 
School  and  Whitko  High  School  in 
Whitley  Coimty. 

The  varsity  speakers  went  to  the 
Carroll  meet,  and  the  novices 
competed  at  Whitko.  A  rather 
dismal  afternoon  followed,  with 
both  teams  failing  to  earn 
sweepstakes  trophies. 

Varsity  speakers  placing  were 
senior  Mary  Freygang,  2nd  in 
oratorical  interpretation,  and  junior 
Marilyrm  Scherer,  2nd  in  Congress. 

Novices  place  also 

Novice  speakers  placing  were 
sophomores  Karyn  Heiney,  2nd  in 
oratorical  interpretation;  Troi  Lee, 
4th  in  oratorical  interpretation; 
Shelj  Winans,  8th  in  poetry;  Tod 
Huntley,  1st  in  boys'  extemp;  Jan 
Dowling,  5th  in  girls'  extemp; 
Nancy  McAfee,  7th  in  discussion; 
Katy  Yoimg,  7th  in  poetry;  junior 
Dave  Beutler,  7th  in  impromptu. 

The  teams  will  travel  to  New 
Haven  High  School  on  Nov.  16. 

"For  the  first  time  in  several 
years,  the  speech  team  is  going  to 
sponsor  a  solo  tournament,"  Mr. 
Robert  Stookey  declared.  "The 
tournament  will  be  held  in  February, 
also  the  solo  team  will  be  hosting  the 
speech  sectionals  in  March."

At  7;  30  the  money  began  rolling 
in.  Long  before  the  doors  dosed  at 
10:30,  the  tickets  ran  out  and  were 
replaced  with  pieces  of  cardboard 
labeled  10?. 

Elmhursfs  First  Annual  Penny 
Arcade  was  successful  in  providing 
a  way  for  the  school's  clubs  and 
organizations  to  make  money.  A 
50e  general  admission  was  charged 
to  pay  for  prizes,  policemen,  and  as 
a  contribution  to  the  jazz  band. 

The  Jazz  Band,  dressed  in 
powder-blue  sliirts  and  blue  jeans, 
made  two  half-hour  appearances; 
from  7:30  -  8:30  and  from  10:00  ■ 
10:30.  During  these  times,  the 
listeners  took  breaks  from 
spending  money  and  relaxed  in  the 
gym. 

Another  one-time  event 
Saturday  evening,  was  the  Pie- 
Eating  Contest  sponsored  by  the 
Junior  Class.  The  contestants,  in 


teams  of  two,  challenged  the 
science  and  math  departments'  Mr. 
Byron  Carrier.  It  was  a  race  to  see 
who  could  eat  one  pie  in  the 
shortest  amount  of  time.  Mr. 
Carrier  won! 

The  other  activities  were  spread 
out  in  the  cafeteria  and  the  halls 
surrounding  it.  They  included  pie- 
throwing  from  the  Forum  Club, 
picture-taking  on  a  paper  moon  by 
AFS.  musical  chairs  from  Afro- 
American  Club,  spin-art  from 
student  council,  a  cake-walk  from 
COE.  and  a  Haunted  House  in  the 
tunnels  by  Quill  and  Scroll. 

Other  student  councils  from  the 
city  attended.  Northrop  had  a  ping- 
pong  table  set  up  where  students 
could  ''paddle  a  Brujn". 
Homestead.  Bishop  Luers,  and 
North  Side  also  had  booths. 

The  work  on  the  Penny  Arcade 
started    in    student    c^^ncil    with 


planning.  Comnuttees  were  formed 
to  advertise  and  organize  and  Mr. 
Horstmeyer  was  consulted  often. 
Then  it  was  up  to  the  various  clubs 
to  design  and  build  their  booths. 

When  Friday  came,  some 
organizations  moved  their  things 
in  while  student  council  members 
and  student  volunteers  moved 
desks  and  tables  out, 

Saturday  there  was  a  six  hour 
period  of  draping  crepe  paper, 
setting  up  booths  and  general 
decorating.  At  6:00  everyone  was 
back  for  last  minute  preparations. 

The  work  did  not  end  with  the 
last  note  of  the  jazz  band  at  10:30. 
Everything  that  had  been  done  had 
to  be  undone.  Tickets  were 
counted,  desks  and  tables  were 
moved  back  into  place,  signs  and 
trimmings  were  taken  down,  floors 
swept,  and  finally,  at  about  12:30. 
it  was  all  over  and  the  workers  left. 


Class    visits    courf;    hosfs     speaker 


Prior  to  attending  an  actual 
courtroom  session,  Mrs.  Banks' 
Business  Law  class  studied  civil 
crimes,  felonies,  and  role  playing  of 
rape,  narcotic,  and  murder  trials. 
Each  student  acted  as  a  prosecuting 
attorney,  defendant,  the  accused, 
and  a  member  of  the  jury  while 
studying  the  procedures  of  a  fair 
trial. 

Sixteen  students  of  the  class  were 
able  to  witness  a  real  trial 
Wednesday,  Nov.  6,  in  the  old 
County  Court  House.  Court  began 
session  at  9: 30  a.m.  with  a  rape  case. 

Charges  were  drawn  on  two 
counts  of  sexual  as  suit  on  two 
twelve  year  old  girls  by  the  State  of 
Indiana  against  the  accused.  The 
law  declares  any  female  under  the 
age  of  16  sexually  assaulted,  a 
victim  of  rape. 

The  first  process  of  the  trial  was 
the  selection  of  the  jury.  After  two 
hours  of  elimination,  twelve  people 
were  chosen  as  members  of  the  jury- 
It  is  the  jury's  responsibility  to  not 
only  determine  the  fate  of  the 
accused,  but  also  to  set  the  term  of 
sentence  if  he  is  found  guilty.  The 
sentence  for  a  crime  such  as  this  is 
no  less  than  two  years  and  no  more 
than  21  years. 

The  actual  questioning  of  the  trial 
viewed  by  the  class  involved  the 
prosecuting  attorney  questioning 
one  of  the  victims.  The  court  then 
recessed  for  lunch. 


Guest  speaker  in  Mrs.  Banks'  Business 
Law  class  recently  was  Mr.  Richard  Sive,  an 
insurance  dealer  for  the  Horace  Mann 
Company,  an  insurance  agency  that  protects 
school  teachers. 

Mr.  Sive  spoke  to  the  fifth  period  class 
about  car  insurance  and  its  necessity  among 
teenagers.  He  stated  that  in  a  time  when 
there  are  so  many  high  school  students 
buying  new  and  used  automobiles,  much 
knowledge  must  be  passed  on  to  teenagers, 
so  that  wise  decisions  may  be  made  when 
buying  and  insuring  their  cars. 

Some  of  the  other  subjects  touched  upon 
by  Mr-  Sive  were:  UMC  (Uninsured 
Motorists'  Coverage),  good  drivers 
discount,  drunk  driving,  collision  coverage, 
motorcycle  coverage,  accidents  in  parking 
lots  and  how  to  collect  when  you  become 
involved  in  one. 


Election  utilizes  skills  of  a  hundred  Trojans 


November  5  once  again  held 
special  meaning  to  all  patriotic 
Americans.  Voting  day  extracted 
one  hundred  students  from 
Elmhurst  alone  to  serve  as  pollsters. 
Approximately  three-fourths  of 
those  helping  worked  for  the 
Democratic  party. 

Senior  Barb  Bowen  pointed  out, 
"I  learned  quite  a  bit  about  how 
each  precinct  is  run  and  what  goes 
on  behind  the  scenes.  My  job 
working  for  the  Democratic  party 
was  to  get  the  Democrats  to  go  out 
and  vote  even  if  it  meant  taking 
them  myself.  I  really  enjoyed  doing 
it." 

Junior  Diane  Knox  commented. 
"My  job  working  for  the  Democrats 
was  holding  the  poll  books  here  at 


E Unburst.  This  involved  getting 
people's  names  and  addresses  when 
they  come  in  and  checking  them  off 
in  the  precinct  poll  book.  I  enjoyed  it 
very  much.  I  met  a  lot  of  people  and 
also  learned  how  to  use  a  voting 
machine." 

Other  Trojans  commented  that 
"they  wouldn't  have  missed  it  for 
the  world." 

Junior  Tina  Hinton  expressed 
that  she  really  enjoyed  the 
opportunity  of  working  the  polls  and 
it  was  a  great  educational 
experience  for  her. 

Another  job  held  by  one  of 
Elmhursfs  volunteer  workers 
included  vote  sohciting,  going  from 
door  to  door  asking  if  the  people  in 
residence  needed  help  in  getting  to 


the  polls  to  vote  or  even  if  baby- 
sitting was  necessary. 

Still  another  job  consisted  of 
standing  outside  the  polls  and 
trying  to  persuade  the  voters.  This 
was  done  by  handing  out  pamphlets 
and  t^e  like. 

One  discontented  comment  was, 
"The  job  I  did  was  very  boring  but 
necessary.  I  would  never  do  it 
again." 

Most  jobs  consisted  of  pushing 
propaganda  for  whatever  party  the 
workers  supported. 

All  in  all,  it  seems  to  have  been  a 
very  educational  and  enjoyable 
experience  for  those  one  hundred 
Elmhurst  students  involved  in 
"Election '74."  "

Annual    pops  concert    draws  500 


Approximately  500  people  assembled  in 
the  gymnasium  for  the  annual  Pops  Concert 
last  Wednesday.  The  participating  groups 
consisted  of  the  concert  band,  the  Trojan 
Singers,  and  the  two  jazz  bands. 

According  to  Mr.  Randy  Brugh,  director  of 
the  bands,  "the  music  that  the  bands  played 
was  appealing  to  both  adults  and  kids.  It  was 
music  they  know  and  enjoy."  He  also 
commented  that  they  had  been  preparing  for 
this  concert  for  three  weeks. 

The  Concert  Band  led  off  the  program  with 
an  arrangement  of  "Barnum  &  Bailey's 
Favorites  "  by  K.  L.  King,  and  another. 
"Themes  from  Italian  Movies." 

Pop-corn  seeds 

The  Trojan  Singers  were  next,  directed  by 
Mr.  AJ  Schmutz,  The  group  sang  six  pieces, 
concluding  with  "Spinning  Wheel"  by 
Thomas.  When  announcing  the  piece.  Mr. 
Schmutz  told  the  audience  that  one  of  the 
groups'  instruments  was  an  empty  coffee 
can,  half  full  of  pop-corn  seeds. 
The  two  jazz  bands  dispbyed  their  group 


talent  and  individual  talents.  Both  played 
selections  of  Thad  Jones,  who  is  one  of  the 
leading  jazz  composers. 

"The  sophomores  are  good  workers,"  said 
Mr.  Brugh.  The  Pops  Concert  was  the  first 
time,  off  the  football  field,  that  many 
sophomores  had  a  chance  to  perform  as 
Trojans

Council  announces    plans  for  dance 


Proceeds  for  tour 

"You  Are  the  Sunshine  of  My  Life"  wBs 
arranged  for  the  concert  band  by  a  former 
member  of  EHS.  Van  Hunter.  The  selection 
"An  American  In  Paris"  by  Gershwin,  was 
one  of  the  first  jazz  pieces  ever  accepted  by 
classical  musica  fans. 

The  two  jazz  bands  were  caUed  Jazz  Band 
8:00  and  Jazz  Band  3:00  because  these  are 
the  times  they  meet. 

After  the  concert,  many  students 
commented  on  their  fine  performances. 

The  proceeds  from  the  concert  will  be  used 
to  help  finance  an  upcoming  concert  band 
tour. 


A  semi-forma]  Christmas  (iance  is 
being  planneti  for  Elmhurst 
students.  The  student  council 
announced  this  week  that  plans  are 
under  way  for  the  holiday  festivity, 
to  take  place  Dec.  21  at  the 
Waynedale  Community  Center 
behind  the  fire  station. 

Although  details  are  still  being 
worked  out  by  student  council 
officers,  tentative  plans  feature  a 
"modern,  semi-slow  band," 
decorations  that  include  a 
Christmas  tree,  red  and  green 
festoons,  and  refreshments. 
According  to  student  council  vice 


president  Mike  Arnold,  "Right  now 
we're  getting  through  the  Penny 
Arcade  and  then  we'll  have  time  to 
focus  on  the  Christmas  dan'-e." 

Added  president  Derel'  Paris, 
"Right  now  Renee  Harter,  who 
brought  the  idea  to  us,  has  been 
lining  up  the  band  and  planning  the 
decorations  along  with  student 
council  members  Cindy  Lude  and 
Sandy  Demaree." 

Council  members  have  hopes  that 
interest  will  be  high  for  this  event, 
and  conclude  that  anyone  wishing  to 
help  the  planning  committee  should 
talk  to  officers  or  members  of  the 
council. 


Children's   liferature    explored 


by  Marie  Zacher 

Can  you  imagine  high  school 
juniors  and  seniors  reading  Aesop's 
Fables  or  Alice  in  Wonderland?  An 
addition  to  the  elective  English 
system  this  year  is  a  course  in 
children's  literature. 

Taught  by  Mrs.  Shelley 
Wellington  and  Miss  Jennifer 
Manth,  the  course  has  attracted 
enough  students  to  make  five 
classes. 

Material  used  in  the  class  includes 
such  masterpieces  as  AndersoD's 
Fairy  Tales,  Grimm's  Fairy  Tales. 
and  a  book  entitled  ...  And  Now 
Miguel.  The  students  are  also 
required  to  do  written  and  oral  book 
reviews  on  children's  books. 

Students  create  stories 

Another  project  the  students 
have  or  will  undertake  is  writing 
their  own  fairy  tales  and  fables.  In 
Mrs.  Wellington's  class  special 
semester  projects  such  as  bulletin 
boards,  scene  construction,  and  an 
illustrated  story  book  will  be  done. 

Both  teachers  are  working 
together  on  a  project  where  their 
classes  will  be  going  to  area 
elementary  schools  for  an  hour, 
having  story  time  with  children  in 
grades  kindergarten  through  three. 
The  main  purpose  of  this  is  to  use 
the  experience  as  an  evaluation 
device  for  children's  literature,  to 
see  the  children's  reactions  to  the 


books.  Each  student  must  choose  a 
book  that  may  stimulate  a  child's 
curiosity  or  teach  him  a  lesson  in 
some  way. 

Class  takes  closer  look 

Members  of  the  class  take  a  close 
look  at  the  books  they  are  reading. 
Examples  are  the  illustrations  -  are 
they  realistic  to  the  story  or  do  they 
let  the  child's  mind  wander?  Some 
books  have  no  words  and  let  the 
child  create  a  story  in  his  own  mind. 
"Little"  things  like  color  schemes 
in  a  picture  or  expressions  in  the 
characters'  faces  all  go  into  creating 
a  children's  book. 

In  the  fables  and  fairy  tales  there 
are  stories  using  animals  with 
human  qualities.  This  is  to  teach  the 
reader  mistakes  or  wrong  doings  of 
humans  without  actually  coming 
out  and  saying  so. 

The  main  objective  of  the  course 
is  to  look  at  children's  literature 
from  an  adult  viewpoint,  to  be 
aware  of  cultural  morals  and  how  to 
apply  them  to  modern  day 
happenings.  Children's  literatiu-e 
helps  adults  to  understand  the  needs 
of  children  and  how  it  can  fulfill  the 
needs. 

If  students  didn't  get  to  read 
Alice  in  Wonderland  or  Grimm's 
Fairy  Tales  when  they  were 
childien,  now  is  their  chance.  And 
even  if  they  did,  maybe  they  should 
try  it  a  second  time  and  compare 
their  views. 


Students  learn    to    be   consumers  ; 
taught    money    management 


"/  want  to  know  why  you  and 
your  teachers  did  not  tell  and  teach 
about  life  and  the  hard,  critically 
practical  world. " 

This  letter  from  a  man  in  his  early 
thirties  to  his  high  school  principal 
reflects  the  views  of  many  persons 
once  they  leave  school.  The  man  was 
frustrated  because  he  did  not  learn 
the  things  that  truly  applied  later  in 
life  ■-  how  to  budget,  get  a  job  or  a 
loan,  or  how  to  resist  high  pressure 
salesmen. 

Now  Elmhurst  students  have  an 
opportunity  to  learn  these  and  other 
related  things  they  could  not 
otherwise  learn  except  through 
experience.  The  new  consumer's 
education  class  is  designed  to  give 
students  knowledge  that  will  apply 
to  their  post-academic  lives. 

Class  covers  various  topics 

The  class,  taught  by  both  Mrs. 
Roma  Jean  Bradburn  and  Mr. 
Arland  Reinhard,  covers  such  topics 
as  credit,  budgeting,  spending, 
insurance,  and  buying  cars.  The 
class  is  taught  by  both  teachers 
because  of  the  wide  range  of 
subjects  included  under  the  heading 
"consumer's  education."  The  course 
is  not  only  business  but  home 
economics     and     socially     related. 


Therefore,  the  teaching  is  divided 
between  Mr.  Reinhard  of  the 
business  department  and  Mrs. 
Bradburn  of  the  home  economics 
department. 

Since  the  class  is  set  up  this  way, 
students  can  add  their  credits  in 
either  of  these  two  areas  to  apply  to 
their  major  or  minor. 

The  classes  usually  meet  in  small 
groups,  but  occasionally  meet 
together  for  special  projects  and 
also  to  hear  speakers  such  as  Mr. 
Gary  Cox  from  People's  Trust  Bank, 
Mr.  Joe  Beck  from  the  Magnavox 
Credit  Union,  and  Mr.  George 
Beaudway,  a  credit  counselor,  talk 
about  money  and  credit. 

Importance  stressed 

The  class,  open  to  juniors  and 
seniors,  is  one  semester  long  and  is 
scheduled  for  second  period.  There 
are  still  openings  for  students 
wishing  to  takethe  course. 

Mrs.  Bradburn  urges  the 
importance  of  the  course  and  cites 
Mr.  Beck,  who  said,  "Consumerism 
will  never  reach  half  of  its  potential 
until  it  stresses  consumer  education. 
An  enlightened,  concerned, 
educated,  and  resourceful  consumer 
can  only  come  from  our  educational 
system,"

by  Marilynn  Scherer 

The  ultimate  challenge  for 
Elmhurst  students  is  to  achieve  the 
goal  of  making  the  Principal's  List 
or  the  Honor  Roll,  The 
requirements  for  achieving  these 
goals  are  simply  (1|  to  make  the 
Principal's  List,  you  have  to 
achieve  straight  A's,  and  12)  to 
make  the  Honor  Roll  you  must 
achieve  a  B  plus  average.

Club    pursues   careers 


It  is  not  often  that  high  school 
students  have  the  chance  to  witness 
an  operation  or  a  trial.  However, 
through  an  organization  called  the 
Explorer's  Club,  these  and  many 
other  experiences  are  available  to 
students. 

The  Explorer's  Club  originally 
started  out  as  a  Boy  Scout  program ; 
the  step  after  an  Eagle  Scout.  It 
then  branched  out  to  include  high 
school  students  of  outstanding 
service  in  the  community  or  school  - 
male  and  female. 

There  are  many  other  Elmhurst 
students  participating  in  the  Law 
branch  of  the  Explorer's  Club. 
Although  there  has  only  been  a 
couple  of  meetings,  the  members  are 
becoming  aware  of  what  the  club 
will  be  doing  this  year.  PossibiUties 
such  as  watching  some  trials,  taking 
trips  to  colleges  and  prisons  and 
Ustening  to  area  lawyers  speak  were 
discussed.  Some  would  like  to 
organize  a  trip  to  view  the  National 
Congress.  The  group  will  be 
deciding' which  segment  of  law  they 
would  Uke  to  study  this  year  at  one 
of  the  future  meetings  at  the  Fort 
Wayne  Courthouse. 

Explorer's  Clubs  are  sponsored 
and  advised  by  local  authorities  on 
the  various  professions.  They  have 
elected  officials  from  their  ranks  and 
finance  their  own  field  trips. 
Information     can     be     obtained 


through  the  central  Boy  Scout  office 
in  Fort  Wayne. 

The  purpose  behind  the  club  is  to 
acquaint  students  with  the  different 
aspects  of  the  careers  they  are 
interested  in  by  directly  involving 
them  in  some  of  the  professional 
responsibilities  and  by  letting  them 
listen  to  and  talk  with  members  of 
that  profession. 

The  Explorer's  Club  has 
separated  itself  into  a  variety  of 
groups  according  to  different  career 
choices.

Frank  Zappa  does  concert  ....badly 


by  Barb  Harman 

Sitting  through  the  Frank  Zappa 
concert  last  Friday,  1  couldn't  help 
wondering  whether  I  had  been  bom 
five  years  too  late  or  whether  the 
concert  was  just  plain  bad. 

The  more  I  thought  about  it 
thatfgh,  the  more  convinced  I  was 
that  it  had  to  be  a  combination  of 
both. 

"Rock  'n  roll" 

The  entire  evening  started  off 
badly  when  the  back-up  band  spent 
30  minutes  playing  solid  "rock  'n 
roll"  and  "boogie".  That  was  great 
for  "rock  'n  rollers/'  (who 
incidentally,  turned  out  in  fuU  force  - 
a  derogatory  comment  in  itself),  and 
older  people  who  saw  hard  rock 
through  its  musical  prime.  But  for 
those  into  more  progressively  styled 
music,  a  more  enjoyable  evening 
could  have  been  spent  listening  to 
old  Bobby  Vinton  tunes  played  on 
the  spoons. 

When  it  came  time  for  Zappa  to 
perform,  it  was  the  rock  n  roll 
freaks  who  held  things  up  by 
refusing  to  sit  down.  "This  isn't 
Bachman  Turner  Overdrive."  said 
the  man  representing  the  Mothers  of 
Invention.  "Frank  Zappa  wants  this 
to  be  a  comfortable  concert.  Please 
sit  down." 

The   Bachman   Turner   comment 


raised  my  hopes  a  little.  Good,  I 
thought,  now  may  be  we  can  have  a 
little  entertainment,  Unfortunately, 
as  the  concert  progressed,  I  wasn't 
so  sure  that  it  wasn't  Bachman 
Turner  and  they  had  just  sold  us  the 
tickets  under  a  pretense. 
Anachronistic 

The  concert  started  with  an  old 
favorite,  "Stinkfoot",  but  the  words 
were  indecipherable  and  the  hard 
rock  of  the  Mothers  seemed  as  out  of 
place  as  had  the  first  bands.  On  the 
whole,  the  entire  show  followed  the 
pattern  of  the  first  number.  The 
group  rambled  through  long 
monotonous,  repetitious  strains, 
and  the  few  vocals  there  were  had  to 
be  translated  as  if  listening  to  a 
foreign  language.  None  of  the  satiric 
wit  of  Zappa  came  through  and  I 
found  myself  wishing  the  concert 
would  end  1 5  minutes  after  it 
started. 

So.  I  concluded.  Frank  Zappa  has 
become  an  anachronism.  His  brand 
of  hard  rock  can  never  compete  with 
today's  fourth  stream  rock  which  is 
closer  to  Bartok  than  to  the  Beatles. 
His  intellectual  prowess  is  really  all 
he  can  offer  to  those  who  were 
brought  up  on  the  avant  garde  King 
Crimson,  the  melodious  Yes  and  the 
intricate  jazz  of  Chick  Corea  and 
Keith  Jarrett.  Perhaps  the  next  time 
Zappa  comes,  it  should  be  on  the 
lecture  circuit.

The  Equal  Rights  Amendment  was 
first  presented  to  the  National  Congress 
in  1923-  In  1972. 49  years  after  it  was  first 
introduced  to  Congress,  it  was  ready  for 
the  states  to  ratify. 

Thirty-six  states  have  ratified  the 
ERA,  with  only  two  more  states' 
approval  needed  for  the  ERA  to  become 
law,  Indiana  is  one  of  the  few  states  lef^ 
which  hasn't  ratified  it.  and  chances  are  it 
won't  ratify  it  next  year. 


Parties  offer  support 

In  1972,  the  Democratic  Party 
supported  the  ERA  and  stated  in  its 
platform:  "Women  historically  have  been 
denied  a  full  voice  in  the  evolution  of  the 
political  and  social  institutions  of  this 
country,  and  are  therefore  allied  with  all 
under-represented  groups  in  a  common 
desire  to  form  a  more  humane  and 
compassionate  society." 


SilUPrro 

The  Republican  Party,  too,  encouraged 
the  ERA  and  stated  in  its  platform:  "The 
Republican  Party  recognizes  the  great 
contributions  women  have  made  to  our 
society  as  homemakers  and  mothers,  as 
contributors  to  the  community  through

Ten  members  of  the

iamhurst  students  have 
formed  the  school's  first 
Human  Relations 
Committee,  set  up  to  meet 
the  first  and  third  Thursday 
of  every  month. 

This  committee  was 
organized  under  the 
direction  of  the 

Superintendent's  office  and 
its  members  chosen  by 
recommendation  of  the 
student  council.  The  main 
thrust  of  the  committee 
shall   be   to  emphasize   the 


positive  aspects  of  school 
life  and  improve 

relationships  between 
students,  teachers,  parents, 
and  administration. 

Student  members  of  the 
committee  include  seniors 
Linda  Panyard  and  Pat 
Prader;  juniors  Mark 
DeGrandchamp,  Tina 
Hinton  and  Sarah  Stewart, 
and  sophomores  Ernie 
Starks.  Ron  Culpepper  and 
Brian  Russell. 

Looking  for  goals 

"Our  purpose  is  to  aim  at 


not  only  understanding  one  what  we're  doing,  the 
another,  but  improving  the  committee  will  serve  an

of  American  women  both  in  the  home  and 
outside  the  home," 

Clarify  status 

The  purpose  of  the  ERA  is  to  clarify  the 
legal  status  of  women,  which  has  never 
been  defined  by  the  CoDstitudon.  The 
only  rights  guaranteed  to  women  by  the 
Constitution  are  the  right  to  vote  and 
hold  office. 


The  Democratic  and  Republican  parties 
are  not  the  only  ones  supporting  the 
ERA:  approximately  70  national 
organizations  Including  the  American  Bar 
Association,  the  American  Psychological 
Association,  and  the  NAACP  support  it, 
compared  to  approximately  10  national 
organizations  such  as  the  Communist 
party,  the  John  Birch  Society,  and  HOT 
DOG  (Humanitarians  Opposed  to 
Degrading  Our'  Girls)  which  openly 
opposed  it  in  1972. 

It  seems  ironical  that  when  so  many 
organizations  support  the  ERA  it  has  not 
been  able  to  make  the  required  38-state 
ratification.  The  ERA  has  until  1979  to  be 
ratified.  Women  are  People,  and  do  make 
important  contributions  to  society  .  One 
can  only  hope  that  before  1979  the 
American  people  and  its  legislators  will 
realize  this  and  extend  equal  right  to 
ALL.

'A/ly  Three  Angels"  cost  suuessi\i\ 


by  Marilynn  Soberer 

The  Elmhurst  school  play, 
"My  Three  Angels,"  opened 
last  Friday  evening  in  the 
Elmhurst  gym.  The 
receptive  crowd  assembled 
at  8  p.m. 

The  cast  and  crew 
working  on  the  play  spent 
approximately  two  months 
rehearsing  and  preparing 
the  set  for  the  three-act,  two 
and  a  half  hour  performance. 
The  play  takes  place  in 
French  Guiana  where  the 
temperature  has  dropped  to 
104  degrees  in  expectation  of 
Christmas  Day, 

Set  stands  out 

The  attractive  set.  built 
by  stagecraft  class 
members,  cast  members  and 
Mr.  Goss.  is  a  small  village 
store  resting  right  in  the 
middle  of  a  prison  society 
Felix  and  Erailie  Ducotel, 
portrayed  by  juniors  Tom 
Young  and  Sarah  Stewart, 
own  the  store,  which  on 
Christmas  Eve  is  plagued  by 


financial  burdens. 

Their  daughter.  Marie 
Louise,  played  by  junior 
Melissa  Hunter,  is  in  love 
with  the  villain  Uncle  Henri 
Trochard's  nephew,  Paul. 
Juniors  Jeff  Sills  and  Dave 
Archer  play  Uncle  Henri  and 
Paul. 

The  plot  begins  when  the 
three  "angels,"  seniors  Jeff 
Green,  Dave  Silletto.  who  is 
the  lead  "angel",  and  junior 
Larry  Daugherty  decide  to 
help  Felix  save  his  store 
from  the  Grasp  of  rich  Uncle 
Henri,  and  at  the  same  time 
help  Marie  Louise  win  Paul. 


Angels  epark  plot 

The  "angels"  spend 
Christmas  Eve  with  the 
Ducotels  and  their  sarcastic 
personalities  are  well- 
played,  amusing,  and  add  a 
great  deal  to  the  show. 

Madame  Parole,  a  comical 
character  played  credibly  by 
junior  Nancy  Beadie, 
provides  for  two  very  funny 
scenes,  one  in  act  one  and 


ther  other  in  act  three. 

Junior  Kent  Gaskill  also 
performs  as  the  lieutenant 
who  enters  the  plot  towards 
the  end  of  the  third  act.  His 
character  enters  just  in  time 
to  end  the  show  on  a  happy 
note. 

The  set  for  the  play 
consists  of  the  Ducotels' 
home,  with  exits  to  the 
store,  the  kitchen,  the 
garden,  and  the  roof. 

Play  recommended 

The  performance  given  by 
the  entire  cast  is  both 
amusmg  and  in  some  parts 
heart-warming.  It's  well 
worth  the  time  of  any  talent- 
appreciating  person. 

Directed  by  Mr.  Don  Goss 
with  assistants  Miss- 
Jennifer  Manth  and  Mrs. 
Shelley  Wellington,  the  play 
runs  next  Friday  and 
Saturday  at  8  p.m.  The 
performances  and  the  crew 
effort  add  to  the  entire 
production  of  the  1974  play. 


To  the  editor: 

There  appears  to  be  an 
amazing  apathy  in  the 
student  body  toward  the 
student  council.  This 
apathy,  I  feel,  stems  from 
the  lack  of  information 
concerning  the  student 
council  provided  to  the 
student  body. 


It  seems  to  me  that  tne 
publications  department 
could  provide  more  adequate 
coverage  of  student  council 
activities.  When  the  council 
has  a  meeting,  why  couldn't 
a  brief  account  of  the 
minutes  be  pub'dshed  in  the 
■'digest  of  news"?  It  seems 
to  me  that  student  council 
activities  directly  affect  the 
student  body. 

Another  major  problem  is 
student  involvement.  People 
who  are  not  directly 
involved  in  student  council 
iknow  little  or  nothing  of  the 
'  way  the  student  council  is 
run.  They  have  no  idea  how 
to  relay  their  ideas  to  the 
student  council,  or  what 
action,  if  any,  will  be  taken  if 
they  do.  Why  couldn't 
suggestion  boxes  be  placed 
throughout  the  school?  if 
the    student    body    could 


handle  the  responsibility, 
there  is  no  reason  why  this 
couldn't  be  just  as  effective 
at  Elmhurst  as  it  is  at 
several  other  Ft.  Wayne 
high  schools.  The  other 
thing  that  the  student  body 
can  do  is  merely  talk  to  any 
student  council 

representative. 

Student  Council,  although 
it  has  plenty  of  money  and 
time  to  donate  directly  to 
students  and  student 
activities,  and  although  it 
directly  affects  student  life 
throughout  the  year,  is  one 
of  the  least  publicized  and 
least  known  organizations  in 
the  school.  I  believe  this  is  a 
great  oversight  not  only  on 
the  part  of  the  publications 
department,  but  of  the 
student  body,  faculty, 
administration  and  the 
council  itself.

will  improve  as  the  season 
progresses. 

Coach  Eytcheson  is 
hoping  that  what  his  team 
lacks  in  size  will  be  made  up 
in  a  lot  of  hustle  and  desire. 
"Well  be  quick  and  we  will

big      question      will      be 


rebounding.  Can  we  get 
more  than  one  or  two  shots 
at  the  basket?  We  have  been 
working  on  boxing  out.  We 
just  have  to  get  position."

Offensively  Coach 
Eytcheson  beUeves  that  the 
Trojans  will  have  to  be  more 
organized  "Bradtmiller  and 


the  Reeses  will  have  to  be 
the  main  scorers,"  he  says. 

Looking  at  the  team 
overall.  Coach  Eytcheson 
has  high  hopes  for  the  future 
with  29  sophomores  getting 
better  every  day.  "We'll  be  a 
running  team  mainly,  trying 
to  take  advantage  of  the  fast 
breaks  that  we  can  get.

Seen  a  professional 
football  game  lately?  Maybe 
you  saw  the  Buffalo  Bills  vs. 
New  England  Patriots 
game.  Even  if  you  did  see 
that  game.  I'm  sure  that  it 
did  not  compare  with  the 
November  12  Powerpuff 
football  game. 

Let's  compare  the  two 
games.  In  the  Buffalo-New 
England  game,  the  starting 
quarterbacks  were  Joe 
Ferguson  and  Jim  Plunkett, 
respectively.  Both  offensive 
leaders  probably  weigh  in  at 
about  180  pounds. 

The  starting  quarterbacks 


puff   teams   organized 


1 1  •  r»alur* 


for  the  junior-senior  girls 
football  game  were  Selma 
Vaughn,  and  Barb  Bowen. 
These  QB's  probably  weigh 
130  pounds,  at  the  most. 

The  professionals  could 
throw  the  ball  eighty  yards, 
if  necessary  -  the  Elmhurst 
girls  couldn't  throw  a 
football  that  far  if  their  lives 
depended  on  it! 

In  the  professional  game, 
the  uniforms  are  so  complete 
that  one  couldn't  tell  where 
padding  stopped  and  bodies 
began.  With  the  Trojan  gals, 
nothing  resembled  a  uniform 
except  the  sexy  jerseys,  that 
were  ten  sizes  too  big. 


The  gal  gridders  not  only 
stunned  the  crowd  with  odd 
unprofessional  plays  -  but 
they  were  encored  by 
respective  class 
cheerleaders.  How  could 
O.J.  Simpson  top  that? 

Practices  were  held  when 
the  weather  was  nice,  or 
whenever  two  or  more 
persons  from  the  same  team 
got  together.  Professionals 
undergo  gruelling  practices 
for  the  entire  regular  season 
of  play.

GALS  &-GUYS 


Ffiday,Nov.22 

Nearly  sixty  girls  were 
anticipated  to  turn  out  for  the  first 
meeting,  but  a  dismal  number  of 
only  20  were  in  attendance. 

Girls  have  rights 

Those  at  the  meeting  were  simply 
advised  of  their  rights  as  female 
athletes  attending  Elmhurst  High 
School.  Some  of  those  rights  are:  ( 1 ) 
the  girls'  team  will  be  granted  the 
use  of  the  boys'  regulation-size 
gymnasium  after  the  dinner  hour 
(unless,  of  course,  there  is  an 
interscholastic  meet  taking  place); 
(2)  any  other  practice  will  be  in  the 
girls'  gym,  or  maybe  the  weight 
room;  (3)  the  evenings  that  the  team 
does  use  the  boys'  gym  (granted  the 
athletic  department  gives  the  team 
a  key)  will  be  the  only  practice  the 
girls'  will  know  in  a  regulation-size 
gymnasium. 

Waiting  won't  work 

Some  people  have  suggested  that 


Every  school  at  one  time  or 
another  goes  through  that  awesome 
season  with  beginners.  This  year  the 
girls  will  be  no  more  beginners  than 
any  other  team  in  Fort  Wayne. 
Where  is  there  a  rule  that  says 
beginners  have  to  be  losers? 

Sophomores  gain  experience 

Hard  work,  practice,  and 
determination  can  easily  overcome 
the  facility  dilemma,  Several  of  the 
players  out  for  the  team  are 
sophomores.  This  means 

experienced  players  in  the  next  two 
years  -  the  problem  of  begiimers, 
defeated. 

The  other  advantage  that  a  team 
can  have  is  school  backing,  spirit, 
and  support.  When  a  stadium  or 
bleachers  are  filled  with  fans,  a  team 
usually  gets  the  incentive  to  play 
hard  £md  win. 
The  girls  have  their  first  match-up 
waiting  for  Ehnhurst  to  build  a  new  on  Jan.  7.  The  game  will  be  held  in

that  starting  a  team  in  a  few  years  facing  Concordia, 
would  probably  result  in  a  different  Can  giris  play  basketball?  The 
season.  This  would  be  a  definite  only  way  to  find  out  is  for  fans  to 
struggle  for  the  ftjture  girls'  teams,     attend  the  games  and  see.

eepeeing 


In  past  few  years  the  Fort 
Wayne  Conmnmity  Schools  have 
recognized  the  equal  rights  of 
females  in  athletics  by  giving  them 
their  own  sports  to  participate  in, 
or  letting  them  compete  in  male- 
dominated,  non-contact  sports. 

The  girls  have  actively 
participated  in  the  sports  started 
for  them,  like  tennis,  volleyball, 
gymnastics,  and  track.  But  they 
have  not  shown  as  much  interest  in 
the  male  non-contact  sports  such 
as  cross  country  and  goli 

Well,  thia  may  be  the  year  all  of 
that  changes.  In  a  sport  which  has 
been  unofRcially  added  to  the  EHS 
curriculum,  both  girls  and  guys 
have  teamed  to  make  e  huge 
success.  This  new  aport  ia  called 
teepeeing. 

Although  teepeeing  has  been 
done  for  as  long  as  anyone  can 
remember,  this  has  been  the  first 
year  at  Elmhurst  that  it  has  been 
done  on  a  mass  scale.  It  all  started 
when  a  group  of  seniors  (Cindy 
Bradtmiller.  Denise  Stein,  Dan 
Avery,  George  Huber,  Cathy 
Brock,  and  Donna  BelUs I  conspired 
to  _di8play  their  talents  on  the 
lawns  of  Mike  Landrigan's,  Terry 
Brutton's    and    Mike    Arnold's 


homes.  Well,  of  course  the  parties 
who  were  the  victims  quickly  found 
out  who  had  given  them  the  gifts 
and  decided  to  retaliate. 

So  around  4:30  one  moming  the 
victims  dragged  themselves  out  of 
bed  and  hastily  displayed  their  own 
similar  talents  on  the  lawns  of 
Cindy  Bradtmiller's,  Denise  Stein's 
and  Donna  Bellis's  houses.  This 
was  all  fun.  but  the  guys  couldn't 
pass  up  the  opportunity  to  do  a 
good  job  on  the  Huber  residence. 
So,  at  1  30  the  next  moming  two  of 
them  took  25  rolls  of  toilet  paper.  2 
trash  can  liners  of  shredded  paper 
and  a  package  of  paper  towels  and 
distributed  them  in  trees  and 
shrubs  and  on  the  lawn  of  Mr. 
Huber's  estate. 

All  of  this  activity  of  course 
made  quick  news  in  the  halls  of 
EHS.  So  from  then  on  it  has  been 
very  chaotic  trying  to  figure  out 
who  has  teepeed  who,  and  who  has 
been  teepeed.  Especially  the  night 
last  week  when  approximately 
eleven  houses  were  caught  off 
guard  on  the  same  night. 

So  if  your  house  has  been  teepeed 
lately  we  can't  tell  you  who  has 
done  it  for  sure.  But  we  can  give 
you  a  list  of  known  artists  who 


have  been  active  lately.  The  list 
includes  Terry  Brutton,  Lynn 
Brown.  Mike  Arnold,  Mike 
Landrigan,  Donna  Bellis,  Denise 
Stein,  Cindy  Bradtmiller,  Dave 
Campbell,  Keith  Bradtmiller,  Dan 
Avery,  CrysUl  Cary,  Cathy  Cary. 
Mike  Duray,  Terry  Emmons,  Greg 
Hershberger,  Jim  Theye,  Melissa 
Hunter,  Carol  Quance.  Jim 
McCleneghen.  Derek  Paris,  Lyle 
Howard,  Kevin  Stephenson,  Jim 
Norton.  Dan  Landrigan,  Dave 
Boyer,  Debbie  Janson.  George 
Huber.  Joe  Morken,  Paul 
Frankewich,  Angle  Gensic,  Mark 
Spears,  and  others  who  have 
managed  to  keep  their  names  and 
facesout  of  sight. 

With  all  of  this  experience  in  our 
own  school  we  collected  some  tips 
for  beginners, 

1.  Don't  buy  the  cheapest  stuff 
possible.  Go  for  broke  and  get  the 
most  expensive  paper.  You'll  find  it 
easier  to  unroU. 

2.  Shredded  paper  looks  best  on 
shrubs  and  bushes,  but  it  is  kind  of 
hard  to  get  cleaned  up  (right 
George?)  so  don't  go  overboard 
when  scattering  it. 

3.  When  the  rolls  land  on  the 
ground  break  them  off  just  a  foot 
or  two  above  the  grass.  This  causes 
a  pretty  swaying  motion  when 
caught  by  a  breeze. 

4.  Make  sure  the  house  of  your 
victim  doesn't  have  a  dog  who  will 
bite  you  or  alert  the  house. 

5.  Remember  the  art  of  teepeeing 
is  all  in  fun  and  if  you  are  an  artist 
one  night,  you  might  be  the  victim 
the  next.  So  keep  up  the  good  work 
and  try  to  have  a  photographer 
with  you  on  your  next  job. 


THE  REMAINS  OF  A  HEAVY  TEEPEEING  JOB  on  the  trees  lining 
junior  Melissa  Hunter's  driveway  are  shown.  Senior  Lynn  Brown  drove 
through  pulling  down  some  pieces  that  were  draped  from  one  side  to 
another 

EARLY.  VERY  EAHLY  ONE  FRIDAY  MORNING,  two  senior  guys 
took  out  their  frustrations  on  senior  George  Huber's  front  lawn.  Besides 
the  usual  toilet  paper,  paper  napkins  and  shredded  paper  decked  shrub'^,

Milkshakes   served   at 


by  Roberta  Cohen 

A  milkshake  machine  here 


,t  Elmhurst?  This  is  a  real 
jossibility  for  the  near 
jiture  if  all  continues  to  go 
jell  with  the  milkshake 
„achine  now  being  used  at 
(Vayne  High  School. 

According  to  Miss 
Catharine  Feustel, 
supervisor  of  food  services 
for  Fort  Wayne  Community 
Schools,  this  machine  comes 
in  many  different  sizes, 
icpending  on  what  is 
needed.  The  machine  at 
ffayne  has  a  capacity  for 
acre  than  two  hundred  10- 
ounce  milkshakes,  which  are 
sold  for  35«  each. 

In  experimenting  with 
this  machine,  the  food 
department  is  trying  to  find 
out  exactly  what  the 
advantages  and 
disadvantages  are. 


One  ot  the  biggest 
problems  anticipated  was 
that  the  machine  would  not 
be  able  to  keep  up  with  the 
demand.  If  the  problem  had 
occurred,  the  solution  would 
have  been  to  bring  in  a 
larger  machine. 

Another  possible  problem 
would  have  been  that  the 
machine  could  not  freeze  the 
milkshakes  fast  enough.  To 
solve  that  problem,  a  larger 
motor  would  have  been  used 
in  order  to  increase  freezing 
capacity. 

A  third  possibility  is  that 
the  milkshakes  would  be  too 
expensive  to  make  and  serve 
without  increasing  the  price 
of  the  regular  lunch.  The 
answer  to  that  is  to  serve  the 
milkshakes  only  in  an  a  la 
carte  line. 

The  milkshake  machine 
does  have  advantages  other 


Wayne 

than  just     .     making 

milkshakes,  according  to 
Miss  Feustel,  It  can  be  used 
tor  frozen  desserts  such  as 
orange  sherbet  made  from 
real  orange  juice.  It  can  also 
be  used  to  make  soft  ice 
cream  in  different  flavors. 

Although  Wayne  is  the 
only  school  in  the  system 
using  a  milkshake  machine 
at  present,  chances  are 
pretty  good  that  other 
schools  will  soon  have  one  if 
the  machine  at  Wayne 
continues  to  be  a  success

The  Elmhurst  cross

participated  in  the  Fort 
Wayne  Cross  Country 
Sectionals  held  at  Shoaff 
Park.  Led  by  senior  Paul 
Stevens  and  sophomore  Tim 
Lee.  the  Trojans  placed 
seventh  out  of  21  area  teams 
with  a  203  point  team  total. 

Northrop  took  first  place, 
paced  by  Bob  Davis  and  Ron 
Ruick  who  placed  second 
and  third  respectively.  Brad 
Jacobson  captured  first 
place  for  individual  honors. 

In  this  year's  sectional  the 
top  four  teams  and  the  first 
five  individual  finishers 
went  on  to  run  in  the  Cross 
Country  Regionals  also  held

Placing  in  the  top  twenty

still  has  two  years  at

lead  the  cross  country  team

successful  seasons  and 
possibly  to  a  state  title 
which  with  the  team's 
previous  record  may  not  be 
as  impossible  as  it  seems. 

In  preparation  for  their 
season  the  cross  country 
team  began  running  in  the 
last  part  of  August.  They 
ran  between  six  and  nine 
miles    a    day    until    their 


season  began.  Each 
individual  has  run  between 
350  and  400  miles  since  the 
season  began. 

This  year's  cross  country 
season  was  a  complete  turn 
around  from  last  year  when 
the  Trojans  boasted  only 
one  victory.  This  year's

violence 


Controversy  in  the  news  is 
not  so  far  away  as  one  might 
think,     The     contemporary 
Man  book  series,  subject  of 
much  violence  and  debate, 
may    be    found    here    at 
Elmhurst      and      nearby 
■•jWhitko  School  Corporation. 
The    center    of    ail    this 
national       attention       is 
whether  or  not  these  books 
contain    profanity,    anti- 
religious     material,     and 
genera]    literature    "unfit" 
for  us,  the  students.  These 
books    have    not,    as    yet, 
stirred    such    violence    and 
protest  here  as  they  have  in 
Charleston,  West  Virginia; 
and  in   the   Whitko  School 
Corporation. 

If  you  have  read  these 
books,  however,  you  might 
wonder  what  all  the  fuss  is 
about.  Indeed.  their 
language  and  content  seem 
hardly  severe  enough  to 
provoke  mass  picketing, 
large  scale  .  strikes, 
shootings,  and /or 
dynamiting  and  firebombing 
schools. 

Most  students  seem  to 
think  "so  what?"  about  the 
material     found     in     these 


books.  More  profanity  and 
radicalism  are  found  in  daily 
television  on  the  hour,  by 
the  hour,  every  hour.  Most 
students  have  read  or  heard 
twice  as  bad  at  home,  on  the 
streets,  or  on  the  news.  In 
addition,  the  Man  book 
series  is  supervised  by  a 
teacher  for  the  students. 

Another  question  is 
student  voice  on  the  issue, 
which  seems  to  say,  "keep 
them!" 

But,  in  presenting  this 
material  to  younger 
students  and  those  that  are 
offended,  however  few,  there 
may  lie  a  problem.  Also,  in 
view  of  the  storms  of 
protest,  right  or  wrong, 
compromise  seems  the  only 
answer. 

We  suggest  that  the 
textbooks  be  retained  for 
the  older  students  in  elective 
courses,  and  be  available  to 
others  under  supervised  use, 
but  not  to  require  them. 
Such  a  compromise  has  been 
reached  by  the  Whitko 
School  Corporation,  and  it 
would  seem  the  likely 
answer  to  please  the  parents 
and  halt  their  unnecessarily 
violent  protest. 


Readers  discuss  paper;  abortion 

students"! 

Among  other  comments,  I 
heard  someone  say  that  the 
Advance  devotes  too  much 
space  to  unimportant  things 
such  as  the  school  play.  In 
my  opinion,  after  almost 
two  months  of  hard  work, 
the  cast  and  crew  of  "My 
Three  Angels"  deserve  a  big 
spread  in  the  paper.  The 
school  play  is  as  relevant  to 
Elmhurst  students  as 
Homecoming,  and  just  as 
important!  Homecoming,  if 
you'll  recall,  had  sections  in 
two  issues  devoted  to  it.  The 
school  play  is  a  big  deal,  and 
a  big  deal  should  be  made  of 


To  the  editor: 

Sitting  in  a  class  recently 
I  heard  many  comments  on 
the  Advance,  and  almost 
none  of  them  were  favorable. 
This  caused  me  to  start 
thinking,  "What  should  a 
high  school  newspaper  have 
in  it?" 

A  school  newspaper 
should  consist  of  news, 
features,  and  editorials 
relevant  to  that  school. 
These  could  include  articles 
about  school  events,  or 
articles  pertaining  to  the 
interests  of  high  school 
students  today,  such  as 
abortion,  marijuana, 
alcohol,  etc.  I  do  not  expect 
an  article  on  the  hottest 
game  in  the  NFL  to  appear 
in  a  high  school  newspaper! 
It  wouldn't  be  of  direct 
interest  to  the  students.  If 
the  people  complaining 
about  the  Advance  would 
stop  and  read  the  articles 
again,  they  would  see  that 
EVERY  SINGLE 
ARTICLE  in  the  newspaper 
is  relevant  to  Ehnhurst 
High  School  students.  The 
Advance  is  truly  a  paper  "of 
the  students,  by  the 
students,     and     for     the 


All  in  all,  I  feel  that  the 
Elmhurst  High  School 
Advance  is  doing  a  terrific 
job  covering  the  news,  and 
my  only  hope  is  that  they 
will  keep  up  the  good  work. 
-R.C. 


To  the  editor: 

I  find  myself,  as  many 
other  students  may,  right  in 
the  middle.  On  the  issue  of 
abortion,  I  find  it  extremely 
hard   to   agree   or   disagree 


with     either     side    of    the 
argument. 

We  live  in  America.  Thf 
land  of  the  free,  so  why  do 
some  people  want  to  let  the 
government  decide  what  a 
women  does  with  her  child? 
But  on  the  other  hand,  as 
an  American-to-be,  the 
rights  of  the  unborn  child 
must  be  protected. 

Granted  the  pictures  of 
abortions  are  not  pleasant, 
but  neither  are  the  pictures 
of  starving  children  --  or 
victims  of  child -beaters. 

To  give  a  cut  and  dried 
yes  or  no  answer  is 
impossible.  To  permit  the 
disposal  of  an  innocent  fetus 
is  wrong:  but  to  deny  a 
woman  the  right  to  do  what 
she  wants  to  with  her  body 
is  unconstitutional! 

Each  individual  must  be 
granted  the  choice;  both  the 
mother  and  the  child  must 
be  taken  into  consideration. 
Whether  or  not  the  pubhc 
agrees  with  the  decision  is 
not  the  mother  "s  problem. 

In  this  day  and  age  of 
advanced  birth  control  and 
family  planning,  abortion 
should  not  be  necessary,  but 
controlled.

Girls  sports.. 


Mike's  Side 


by  Mike  Landrigan 

Last  year,  girls 
participated  in  sports  for  the 
first  time  in  Elmhurst 
history.  The  female  teams 
sludged  through  losing 
seasons.  They  lacked 
experience,  good  equipment 
and  a  decent  gym. 

This  year  the  girls' 
volleyball  team  has  used  the 
boys'  gym  after  school  for 
practice.    This    leaves    the

boys'  basketball  team 
without  any  place  to 
practice.  Everyone  realizes 
this  was  not  a  good  situ- 
ation. 

Former  principal  of 
Elmhurst  High  School 
Charles  Eickhoff  did  not 
support  the  expansion  of 
girls'  sports  during  the  last 
years  of  his  tenure.  He 
beUeved  Elmhurst  did  not 
have  the  facilities  to  handle 
girls'  athletics.  During  the 
72-73  season,  all  other 
FWCS  high  schools 
participated  in  female 
competition.  Due  to  this,  the 
seniors  on  Elmhurst's 
present  teams  gained  no 
experience  as  sophomores. 

Facilities  in  poor  shape 

The  volleyball  team  was 
not  in  a  position  of  total 
inexperience  because  several 
of  the  girls  played  on 
parochial  school  teams.  The 
tennis  and  gymnastics 
teams,  however,  had  no 
previous  experience. 

The  girls'  gym  is  far  too 
small  for  volleyball, 
gymnastics,  or  any  other 
sport.  All  other  schools  in 
the  system  have  good 
practice    facilities    in    their 


physical  ed  departments. 

The  gymnastics  team  has 
the  poorest  equipment.  The 
moat  needed  piece  of 
equipment  is  the  uneven 
bars.  Nearly  every  girl  who 
uses  them  states  they 
should  be  replaced. 

Student  support  needed 

One  final  obstacle  in  the 
girls'  way  is  the  lack  of 
student  support.  People  do 
not  attend  their  events.  To 
get  the  badly  needed 
equipment,  the  teams  need 
money.  Unless  they  run 
special  money-making 
campaigns,  fans  are  the  only 
means  of  support.  Football 
and  basketball  have  enough 
trouble  supporting  the  other 
male  sports.  The  addition  of 
girls'  sports  would  be  too  ; 
much  of  a  load. 

For  our  female  athletics  to 
be  real  wirmers,  the  girls 
need  school  backing,  more 
experience,  new  equipment 
and  ...  a  new  gym.  Only 
student  backing  can  be 
received  quickly- 
Experience,  equipment  and 
a  gym  can  only  come  with 
time.  The  girls  have  to 
remain  patient  and  continue 
to  give  their  best. 


Sludent  interest,  attendance  in  school  actioities  rises 


School  spirit,  believe  it  or 
not,  appears  to  on  the 
upsurge  at  Elmhurst. 
Despite  repeated  calls  for 
more  enthusiasm,  the 
figures  seem  to  indicate  that 
EHS  students  do  take  an 
interest  in  the  activities  the 
school  offers  them. 

For  example,  at  the  recent 
Pops  Concert,  500  people 
attended  this  year  as 
compared  to  300  the  year 
before  and  only  200  the  year 
before  that  -■  a  definite 
improvement. 


The  play  this  year  also 
drew  larger  crowds.  While 
600  people  attended  "My 
Three  Angels,"  only  350  saw 
"The  Effect  of  Gamma  Rays 
on  Man-In-the-Moon 
Marigolds"  last  year. 

And  according  to  the 
office,  records  were  even 
broken  on  Back  to  School 
night. 

So  why  all  the  hassle 
about  enthusiasm?  Well, 
unfortunately  not  all 
activities  have  been  getthig 
this  much  response,  but  it 


does  seem  reassuring  to 
know  that  interest  is 
beginning  to  pick  up. 

Hopefully  this  is  a  good 
sign  that  future  activities  at 


Elmhurst  will  not  meet  the 
same  apathy  that  past 
events  have. 

Many  students  agree  that 
Fort  Wayne  is  not  the  most

exciting  town,  but  if 
students  continue  to  take 
advantage  of  what 
Elmhurst  has  to  offer, 
things  may  not  seem  so  bad.

Volleyballers  defeated  in  sectionals 
10-5, 13-15  by  Homestead  females 


by  Karyn  Heiney 

The  Elmhurst  volleyball 
team  played  then  last  game 
of  the  season  Oct.  31  at 
Bishop  Luers.  It  was  then 
final  game  before  sectionals, 
which  were  held  Nov.  5-7  at 
Wayne  High  School. 

At  the  Luers-Dwenger 
match,  the  girls  played 
excellent  volleyball.  But  due 
to  a  bad  start,  combined 
with  a  bad  break,  they  failed 
to  beat  Luers  as  time  ran  out 
with  the  score  10-12. 

The  first  game  was  rough, 
losing  1-15  to  Luers.  But  the 
second  game  found  new 
strength  as  Elmhurst  rallied 
to  win  a  15-8  victory.  Forced 
to  play  a  third  game,  a 
scoring  difficulty  among  the 
official  scorers  cost 
Elmhurst  2  points.  As  time 
ran  out  the  Trojans  saw 
those  two  points  were  what 
they  needed  as  the  match 
ended  10-12,  Luers  the 
victor. 
Dwenger  takes  match 

That  same  night  the 
volleyball  team  played 
Dwenger.  After  a  close  third 
game,  the  Trojan  team  was 
forced    to    face    another 


defeat. 

The  first  game  saw 
Elmhurst  win  handily,  a  15- 
4  victory.  But  Dwenger 
came  back  fighting,  winning 
the  second  game  15-10.  The 
third  game  was  agonizingly 
close  but  the  Trojan  girls 
just  couldn't  get  it  together 
and  were  defeated  13-15. 

EHS  out  of  sectionals 

On  Tuesday  evening, 
Nov.  5.  the  Elmhurst  team 
met  Homestead  at  Wayne 
High  School  for  sectional 
play.  After  two  games, 
Elmhurst  was  eliminated 
from  the  competition.  , 

The  first  match  saw 
Wayne  win  over  their 
opponent,  HeriUge.  Then 
Elmhurst  went  against 
Homestead  only  to  lose  the 
first  game  10-15.  The  second 
game  ended  with  Elmhurst 
on  the  short  end  of  a  13-15 
score. 

When  asked  about  their 
performance  that  night. 
Coach  Cathy  Russell  stated, 
"They  were  mentally 
psyched  up  for  the  game  but 
got      rattled      and      lost 


confidence  in  each  other." 
She  added,  "Then  they 
stopped  setting  up  but 
concentrated  on  defense 
instead  of  being 

aggressive."  Finally  she 
concluded  that  if  the  team 
had  played  as  well  against 
Homestead  as  they  had 
against  South  Side  and 
Luers,    they'd    have    won.

Council  in  need  of  order 


Carney  headlines   new   flick 


by  Sarah  Stewart 

In  this  day  of  fast-paced,  usually 
violent  adventure  films,  it's  nice  to 
know  that  there  is  a  slower-moving, 
non-violent,  and  very  entertaining 
adventure  film. 

"Harry  and  Tonto"  is  such  a  film, 
and  Art  Carney's  performance  as 
the  lead  character,  Harry,  should 
win  him  his  first  Oscar. 

"Harry  and  Tonto"  is  the  story  of 
an  elderly  man  and  his  cat,  Tonto, 
who  reside  in  New  York  City.  When 
Harry  is  forcibly  removed  from  his 
apartment,  he  and  Tonto  take  an 
impromptu  cross-country  excursion. 
On  the  way  across  country,  he 
picks  up  two  hitchhikers,  a  guy  and 
a  girl.  The  girl  stays  with  him  most 
of  the  trip.  He  stops  in  to  see  an  old 
sweetheart  in  Fort  Wayne.  Indiana. 
Later,  he  meets  up  with  his  faddish 
grandson,  gets  picked  up  by  a  high- 
class  hooker,  lands  in  jail  in  Las 
Vegas,  and  finally  ends  up  in 
California. 

Some  of  the  things  that  happen  to 
Harry  are  a  little  far-fetched,  but  the 
character  is  so  real  he  makes  up  for 


it.  Besides,  this  movie  was  made 
that  way  for  entertainment.  It  puts 
real  people  in  situations  everyone 
only  dreams  about. 

But  "Harry  and  Tonto"  is  more 
than  an  entertaining  movie; 
underneath  there  is  a  good  long  look 
at  the  life  of  the  elderly.  It's 
sometimes  sentimentally  sad, 
sometimes  humorous,  and  always 
very  touching. 

The  supporting  cast,  which 
includes  Harry's  family,  friends, 
and  the  people  he  meets  on  his  trip, 
is  a  good  one.  The  relationships  are 
true  and  honest,  especially  the 
family's  relationships. 

There  are  a  lot  of  monologues  in 
the  film,  but  they  never  drag  or 
become  boring.  Although  there  are 
some  sad  and  painful  parts  in  this 
movie,  you  leave  the  theatre  feeling 
good.  It  is  well  worth  the  two  hours 
spent  viewing  it,  especially  on  a 
nothing-to-do  Sunday  afternoon 
when  matinee  prices  are  a  dollar ;  if 
you  have  time  to  see  any,  movie, 
see  this  one. 


Ever  since  the  reinstatement  of 
the  student  council  at  Elmhurst,  its 
meetings  have  been  spotted  with 
turtaoil  and  confusion.  Occasionally, 
when  a  controversial  subject  is 
presented,  its  merits  are  not 
discussed,  but  are  argued  and  the 
members  do  not  speak  but  shout. 
These  disputes  cause  students  to 
begin  questioning  the  purpose  and 
effectiveness  of  student  council. 

Especially  in  the  Fort  Wayne 
Community  School  system,  the 
effectiveness  of  student  council 
depends  primarily  on  the  attitudes 
of  the  administration.  Since  the 
arrival  of  Mr.  Horstmeyer, 
Elmhurst  has  been  given  many  new 
and  fair  chances.  The  principal  is 
wilhng  to  give  us  as  much  freedom 
as  he  can,  without  letting  things  get 
out  of  hand.  In  this  atmosphere, 
student  council  has  the  power  to 
initiate  student  interest,  ideas  and 
activities.  Although  Mr. 

Horstmeyer  does  have  final  say,  he 
is  open  to  suggestions  and  will 
consider  everything  fairly. 

There  will  always  be  limits. 
(Elmhurst  will  never  have  a 
smoking  lounge  unless  the  Fort 
Wayne  Community  Schools  changes 
its  policy.)  But  student  council  has 
another  purpose  besides 

representing  the  students  in  school 


policies  and  activities.  Just  as  tht 
pubhcations  department  and  Junior 
Achievement  attract  potential 
journalists  and  businessmen 
student  council  is  a  learning 
experience  for  those  who  ^ 
involved.  It  tutors  students 
planning  and  organization,  debtLt 
and  compromise.  At  times  the  group 
may  have  a  little  trouble  with  its 
lesson.  It  may  be  difficult  for  the 
members  to  be  comfortable  using 
the  concepts.  But  they  are  trying 
and  they  are  learning. 

Perhaps  one  thing  student  council 
has  learned  is  that  parliamentarj' 
procedure,  an  old  estabHshment 
custom,  has  its  values  and  that  at 
least  many  of  its  basic  ideas  can  help 
conserve  time  and  temper.  With  the 
application  of  some  of  "Roberts 
Rules",  the  organization  can  get 
back  to  its  dances,  bus  rides,  fund 
raisings,  and  penny  arcade  -  al] 
programs  for  the  students  that  the 
council  is  now  concerned  with. 


The  Advaoce  staff  invites 
Btudeats  and  teachers  to  express 
their  opinione  on  any  subject 
through  the  newspaper.  The 
Advance  reserves  the  right  to 
review  all  material  before 
publication.  All  letters  should  be 
brought  to  the  journalism  room

The  Elmhurst  varsity 
football  team  defeated  the 
Wayne  Generals  Nov.  1  to 
boost  its  SAC  record  to  2-1 
and  tie  for  the 
championship.       However, 


South  Side  won  over  the  fans  yet  the  tact  is  it  would  have  been  picked, 
athletic  directors  and  will  be  couldn't  be  avoided.  If  Luers  then  Luers  would  complain 
representing     the     South    had  been  picked.  South  Side    because   they   defeated   the 


division  against  Dwenger. 

This    decision    was    very 
unpopular    among   Trojan 


would  have  complained,  for    Trojans    in    the    regulai" 

they  defeated  Luers  early  in    season. 

the  season.  If  Elmhurst  Even  though  the  Trojans 
didn't  quite  make  it  into  the 
championship  game,  a  lot  of 
credit  must  go  to  Coach 
Herman  and  the  entire  team. 
They  took  a  teKiu  that  was 
loser  in  past  years  and 
almost  won  their  division  m 
a  matter  of  one  year.  Ihe 
only  thing  th^it  held  the 
Trojans  back  this  season 
was  the  inexperience  of 
many  of  the  players  at  the 


beginning  of  the  season.  It 
was  quite  noticeable  that  as 
the  team  played  more  the 
better  they  became  and  the 
more  the  offense  picked  up. 

Ehnhurst  won  their  last 
contest  against  Wayne  21-7, 
as  sophomore  Brian  Russell 
teamed  up  with  junior  Tim 
Chaney  who  made  two 
spectacular  catches  in  the 
comer  of  the  end  zone  for 
touchdowns.  An 
exceptionally  strong  defense, 
held  the  generals  to  only  7 
points  in  the  first  half  and 
shut  them  out  in  the  second.

Tro/ning  begins  for  girls'  gymnostics  season 


by  Barb  Harman 

This  marks  the  second 
year  of  the  girls'  gymnastic 
team  here,  and  according  to 
much  of  the  team,  it  appears 
to  be  a  year  of  great 
promise. 

The  team  consists  of 
rougUy  25  girls  this  year,  as 
compared  to  about  20  last 
year.  Most  of  these  girls  will 
compete  on  the  beginning  or 


intermediate  levels  and  only 
five  or  six  on  the  optional 
level. 

Although  the  girls'  first 
meet  is  not  until  January, 
the  gymnastics  coach.  Mrs. 
Marty  Burns.  started 
practices  some  time  ago. 
The  two  hours  a  day  that  the 
team  puts  in  begin  by  a  half 
hour  of  running  and 
exercising,  and  the  last  hour 
and  a  half  on  the  routines 
they  will  use  in  competition. 


Routines  vary 

The  routines  themselves 
vary  with  the  level  of  the 
girls.  All  beginners  and 
intermediates  have  the  same 
routines  although  the 
difficulty  of  the 

intermediate  routine  is 
greater.  Each  competes  only 
on  her  own  level. 

Optional  competition  is 
the  most  advanced  of  the 
three  groups.  Girls  in  this 
division  must  create  theu- 


own  routines.  Each  routine 
must  have  two  superior 
moves  (for  example,  aerials 
on  a  floor  routine  or  kips  on 
the  unevens)  and  four 
medium  difficulty  moves. 

Said  team  manager, 
senior  Marie  Zacher.  "I 
think  we  reaUy  have  a  lot  of 
good  potential.  With  a  lot  of 
sophomores  coming  in  and 
with  all  the  people  we  had 
last  year,  it  should  be  a  good 

year."

Mike's  Side 


/MIkeLandrlgan 

Yesterday,  Elmhurst  fans 
ha^  a  chance  to  see  the 
basketball  and  wrestling 
teams  in  competition.  Not 
much  could  be  seen  from  the 
basketball  scrimmage 
because  of  the  lack  of  real 
crowd  support.  So  the  first 
real  chance  to  see  the  team 
play  will  be  this  Saturday. 

Of  our  male  winter  sports, 
wrestling  seems  to  have  the 
best  attitude  for  an 
outstanding  season.  A  city 
championship  and  sectional 
championship  are  easily 
within  reach  for  Trojan 
wrestlers.  There  are  many 
excellent  returning 
wrestlers.  When  you  add 
them  to  the  fine  reserve  and 
sophomore  matmen,  the 
resulting  team  will  have  to 
be  outstanding. 

Tough  season  for  hardcourt 

The  basketball  team  may 
have  a  tougher  season. 
They'll  lack  height  and 
experience  but  not  potential. 
Along  with  our  returning 
lettermen,  sophomores  will 
see      plenty      of      action. 


Portage,  one  of  our  feeder 
schools,  has  sent  many  fine 
players  who  were  not  beaten 
once  in  three  years  of  junior 
high  play.  The  team  will 
undergo  a  rebuilding  year 
but  Elmhurst  will  have 
outstanding  teams  in  the 
future. 

The  basketball  coaches 
must  keep  the  team 
disciplined,  but  with  the 
ability  to  fast-break  at  every 
opportunity,  taking 
advantage  of  their  speed  if 
they  hope  to  have  a  good 
year. 

At  the  sports  preview  the 
other  two  winter  sports 
didn't  perform.  The  girls' 
sports  don't  begin  until 
January,  so  they're  just 
getting  started. 

Girls  sports  face  problems 

Girls'  gymnastics  will 
probably  experience  a  year 
much  like  last  season.  Quite 
a  few  of  the  girls  gained 
experience  but  all  of  the 
grace,  coordination,  proper 
techniques  and  routines 
can't  be  learned  or  gained  in 
one   year.    Like    any    other 


sport,  those  who  start  at  an 
early  age  have  an 
advantage.  Several  of  the 
girls  have  had  other 
gymnastics  experience  in 
clubs  outside  of  school,  but 
don't  be  surprised  if  a 
sophomore  is  Elmhurst's 
best  gymnast. 

New  to  Elmhurst  is  the 
girls'   basketball   team.   All 


other  schools  in  the  FWCS 
system  have  had  at  least  one 
year  of  girls'  basketball.  The 
Trojan  team  will  lack  badly 
needed  experience.  Because 
the  girls  have  never  played, 
a  judgment  on  their  ability 
to  rebound,  score  and  stay  in 
games  wouldn't  be  fair. 
However,  continued  practice 
in  the  inadequate  girls'  gym 


will  hurt  their  record  andtt; 
gymnastics  record. 

The  overall  Trojan  sporti 
scene  for  the  winter  ^^ 
have  a  rebuilding  theinf 
Wrestlers  will  be  tough  aaj 
basketball  will  be  able  i( 
compete  but  lack  oi 
experience  will  be  the  majoi 
problem  for  the  girls'  sport-

Miss  Virginia   lives  Ciiristmas  daily 


by  Marty  Miller 

As  that  time  of  the  year 
approaches  when  people  get  the 
spark  of  Christmas  spirit  within 
themselves,  there  is  a  very  special 
lady  who  somehow  has  the  gift  of 
giving  and  love  throughout  the 
entire  year.  But  unfortunately,  few 
people  take  notice  of  her  and  her 
services  to  those  in  need,  except 
during  the  holiday  season. 

This  morning  Elmhurst  was 
introduced  to  this  special  lady.  Miss 
Virginia  Schrantz,  during  an 
assembley  sponsored  by  Y-teens,  as 
she  accepted  the  donations  collected 
by  the  club.  Her  program  has  been 
in  Fort  Wayne  for  23  years,  and  this 
is  Elmhursfs  ninth  year  of  service 
to  her. 


Love  and  understanding 

Miss  Virginia  opens  her  home  on 
Hanna  St.  24  hours  a  day.  seven 
days  a  week,  to  anyone  who  is 
hungry  or  cold,  in  need  of  clothing, 
or  just  wanting  to  talk  to  someone. 
She  has  no  steady  source  of  income, 
but  depends  upon  charities,  local 
organizations  and  generous 
individuals. 

Some  people  go  to  her  house  and 
stay  for  a  few  days  or  months  until 
they  are  able  to  get  back  out  on  their 
own.  They  pay  no  rent,  but  receive 
so  much  during  their  stay-  including 
much  love  and  understanding.  At 
present,  four  people  live  in  the 
upstairs  rooms  of  the  home.  In  her 
years  of  service  to  the  Fort  Wayne 
area,  a  total  of  75  people  have  been 
sheltered  there. 

Inner-city  residents  know  Miss 
Virginia  well.  She  always  finds  her 
home  quite  busy  during  the  day. 
People  come  to  use  the  phone  or  to 
have  things  read  to  them.  Illiteracy 
is  much  more  common  in  the  inner- 
city  than  most  realize. 

A  big  pot  of  food  is  kept  warm  at 
all  times  for  those  who  come  for  a 
warm    meal.    The    money    used    to 


i 

else,  the  heat  and  electricity  is  shut 
off  whenever  the  bills  are  not  paid. 

Miss  Virginia  was  born  here,  grew 
up  in  Marion,  and  then  returned  to 
Fort  Wayne  as  a  registered  nurse  for 
20  years.  She  feels  that  this 
background  was  a  good  foundation 
for  her  present  line  of  service  to 
others. 
Spirit  ufdly  rich 

Miss  Virginia's  home  is  the  center 
of  many  occurrences.  For  example 
one  day  the  owner  of  a  barber  shop 
next  door  came  over  for  change  for  a 
five    dollar    bill.    While    looking 


Some  people  in  the  past  have 
come  to  Miss  Virginia  with  the  idea 
that  she  should  charge  a  minimum 
price  for  the  food  and  clothing  that 
she  "gives  away".  These  people  felt 
that  this  would  restore  some  dignity 
within  those  who  depend  upon  Miss 
Virginia's  services.  She  felt 
differently  though,  and  talking 
about  the  people  she  gives  to,  she 
explained.  "Your  pride  is  not  taken 
away  by  accepting  charity,  but 
rather  retained  by  those  who  give  in 
their  own  special  way.  Love 
dignifies  the  giving  away  of  things." 
Miss  Virginia  feels  that  the  most 
important  gain  she  has  made 
through  her  experience  in  this 
service  has  been  the  privilege  of 
serving  those  in  need  and  the  strong 
friendships  acquired. 


buy  all  of  this  food  comes  from  the    through    her    purse,    it    became 
charities  previously 

Paying  bills  is  not  any  easy  thing, 
but  it  is  something  that  Miss 
Virginia  is  faced  with  constantly. 
She  depends  on  the  money  that 
people  give  her.   Just  like  anyone 


apparent  that  Miss  Virginia  didn't 
even  have  five  dollars  to  give  the 
man.  She  probably  has  less  than 
most  of  us  material  wise,  yet  she  is 
rich  with  the  love  that  she  has  for 
others  and  that  others  have  for  her.

The  Groups  Program,  sponsored 
by  Indiana  University,  helps 
minority  students  who  would  like 
to  attend  college  but  who  might  not 
otherwise  have  the  chance,  Four 
students  from  Elmhurst  will  be 
participating  next  year. 

Seniors  Curtis  Underwood,  Pam 
Lflpsley,  Reggie  Hill,  and  Jeff 
Hayden  expressed  interest  in  the 
program  and,  after  being 
interviewed,  were  chosen  as 
Elmhurst's   representatives,    Mrs. 


Dinah  Cashman  and  Mr.  Waymoi 
Brown  questioned  the  applicants. 

Must  meet  demands 

Some  of  the  13  seniors  who  first 
spoke  to  Mrs.  Cashman  lost 
interest  because  there  are 
requirements  that  those  who  are 
selected  must  live  up  to.  They  must 
go  to  summer  school  after 
graduation  and  stay  out  of 
fraternities,  sororities  and  athletics 
for  their  first  year.  The  authorities 


sure  the  applicants  are 
continuing     their 


want  to 
serious 
education. 

Groups  Program  participants, 
who  include  underprivileged  whites 
as  weU  as  member  of  ethnic  groups, 
receive  special  counseling  and 
testing  to  put  them  in  appropriate 
classes  and  to  point  out  their 
strengths  and  weaknesses  so  they 
can  be  worked  on.  They  also  get 
financial  aid  and  live  during 
summer  school  with  the  rest  of  the 


250  state  members.  Although  the 
service  is  available  to  the  students 
throughout  their  four  years  at 
college,  nothing  binds  them  after 
their  freshman  year. 

"Get  it  together" 

Other  Fort  Wayne  Community 
Schools  are  involved.  Some  have 
more  "slots"  open  to  them  than 
Elmhurst  does,  due  to  bigger 
student  bodies  and  more  interest  in 
past  years.  For  the  last  two  years. 


Elmhurst  has  not  sent  anyone. 

The  Groups  Program  demands  a 
lot  of  time  from  its  sponsors.  There 
is  plenty  of  paper  work  and 
information,  Mrs.  Cashman  spent  a 
few  days  during  Teacher's 
Convention  down  in  Btoomington 
learning  about  the  program  and 
how  to  handle  it.  She  thinks  the 
program  is  worth  it.  however,  She 
says.  "1  will  spend  twice  as  much 
time  if  it  will  help  the  kids  get  it 
together"

Campus  Life  presented  probably  the  mos 
well  received  assembly  this  year  to  the  EHS 
student  body  Friday. 

Under  New  Management,  b  group 
financialJy  and  promotionalJy  sponsored  by 
Campus  Life  and  Youth  for  Christ,  presented 
a  50  minute  program.  Musical  selections 
included  medleys  from  the  September  1974 
top  -10,  Three  Dog  Night  compositions  and 
1950  rock,  as  well  as  several  more  foUcsy 
spirituals  including  "Oh  Happy  Day.  " 

Happy  family 

"It  sounds  really  trite."  admitted  the 
group's  keyboard  artist  Lynn  Keesecker. 
"but  we  really  are  one  big  happy  family.  The 
only  time  we  see  our  family  is  at  Christmas  - 
our  whole  life  for  a  year  is  each  other  and  the 
people  we  meet." 

The  group  played  for  several  area  schools 
throughout  the  week,  and  played  a  free 
concert  at  the  LU.-P.U.  Student  Union 
Building  for  anyone  interested  in  hearing 


more  of  their  music  or  ministry. 

Each  of  the  members  claims  that  their 
main  purpose  in  the  high  school  assembly 
program  is  to  entertain  the  students  and 
explain  the  Campus  Life  program.  For  this 
reason  they  take  out  a  year  from  their 
studies  orjobs  and  go  on  tour. 

Although  the  group  has  only  been  together 
since  August,  they  have  performed  about 
150  concerts. 

"Everybody  enthusiastic" 

"The  most  unique  thing  about  the 
Elmhurst  assembly  was  that  there  seemed  to 
be  a  greater  black-white  bond  than  at  other 
schools.  Sometimes  different  parts  of  the 
program  seem  to  get  through  to  a  very 
specific  part  of  the  student  body.*' 
philosophized  Lynn,  concluding.  "At  the 
Elmhurst  concert  it  seemed  as  though 
almost  everybody  was  enthusiastic  about  the 
whole  concert." 


FILAINIJ 

The  AFS  Penny  Collection  is  stUl 
in  full  swing.  The  student  body's 
generous  donations  have  made  this 
new  project  successful  but  the 
amount  being  collected  is  beginning 
to  dwindle. 

The  club,  involved  in  foreign 
exchange,  is  half-way  in  the  race  to 
reach  the  goal  needed  to  send  a 
student  of  Elmhurst  to  another 
country  and  to  receive  a  foreign 
student  for  next  year 
Club  sponsors  paper  drive 

On  Feb.  22.  the  club  will  have  its 
second  paper  drive  for  this  school 
year.  The  club  is  hoping  to  do  as  well 
as  the  first  one  on  Oct.  5.  when  they 
reached  a  total  profit  of  $177.80. 

The  areas  they  will  be  covermg 
are  Westmoor,  Indian  Village  and 
Wildwood  Park.  Those  who  would 
like  to  contribute  but  don't  live  in 
this  area  may  bring  their  papers  to 
the  foreign  language  rooms  on  Feb. 
21. 

Faculty-TV  game  scheduled 

Also  coming  up  in  the  near  future 
is  the  "Faculty  vs  Television  Team" 
basketball  game.  Some  of  the  TV 
celebrities  are  Channel  21  s 
Christine  Zak  and  Mack  Berry  and 
Channel  15's  Steve  Corona.  Also 
included  in  the  big  evening  is  the 
faculty  band  and  faculty  cheer- 
leaders plus  a  surprise  half-time. 

This  event  all  takes  place  in 
Elmhurst's  gym  Friday,  March  14. 


Club  president  Pat  Prader  stated 
"We  really  need  a  spirited  crowd  at 
this  game.  It's  probably  our  biggest 
money  making  event  of  the  year,  so 
it  has  to  be  a  success. ' ' 

AFS  is  also  involved  in  some  non- 
profit activities,  beginning  with  the 
International  Dinner  which  takes 
place  March  4  in  Elmhurst's 
cafeteria.  The  dinner  involves  not 
only  foreign  foods  but  also  dances  of 
other  countries  besides  our  own.  The 
purpose  of  this  dinner  is  to  get  the 
Elmhurst  student  acquainted  with 
what  AFS  is  generally  all  about. 

"Housing"  week-end  planned 

Beginning  April  25  through  30, 
the  Housing  for  a  Week-end  takes 
place.  This  is  when  the  foreign 
exchange  students  from  the 
northern  part  of  Indiana  will  come 
to  spend  time  in  Fort  Wayne.  Any 
interested  Ehnhurst  students  may 
have  a  foreign  student  at  their 
home. 

The  purpose  of  this  weekend  is  to 
give  the  student  a  chance  to 
experience  another  family  life  style 
and  to  see  more  of  the  state  and 
meet  new  people.  This  is  also  an 
opportunity  for  any  Elmhurst 
student  to  gain  not  only  the  cultural 
experience  but  to  be  involved  in 
week-end  activities  planned  for  all 
the  exchange  students  and  their 
"brothers"  or  "sisters"  from 
Elmhurst.

The  Christmas  semi-formal  dance 
jnay  not  have  been  successful 
nioneywise,  but  as  student  council 
president  Derek  Paris  put  it,  "The 
student  council  wasn't  worried 
gbout  making  money.  We  just 
wanted  everyone  to  have  a  good 
tune.  So  I  think  it  was  a  success. 

Because  of  the  success  of  the 
jetni-formal,  student  council  has 
planned  a  dance  after  the  Snider 
basketball  game,  here,  on  Jan.  31. 
Tickets  will  go  on  sale  Jan.  22,  for 
one  dollar.  Snider  has  also  been 
invited  to  join  EHS  students  in  the 
cafeteria,  This  dance  will  feature  the 
Whispers,  as  did  the  Christmas 
dance. 
fun  planned  for  break 

Along  with  helping  out  with  both 
Black  History  and  Brotherhood 
weeks,  the  council  will  be 
sponsoring  a  Spring  Break  Day.  On 
this  day  students  will  be  dismissed 
from  classes  early  to  participate  in 
outdoors  activities,  such  as  a  water 
balloon  toss,  a  football  pass  and 
Softball  throw. 

A  new  secretary  has  taken  office 
for  the  second  semester.  Sandy 
Demaree.  who  was  elected  last  year, 
resigned  her  position  so  that  she 
could  devote  more  time  to  her 
classes.  The  new  officer  is  Denise 
Stein. 


Money  is  no  problem  to  the 
council  this  year.  The  Cash  Box, 
which  is  council  funded,  receives 
$1000  a  year  for  supplies  and 
materials.  The  Cash  Box  then  puts 
75  percent  of  its  profit  into  a  student 
council  fund. 

The  other  25  percent  is 
transferred  into  a  student  aid  fund. 
This  fund  supplies  EHS  clubs  and 
organizations  with  money  if  they 
need  it  for  a  good  reason.  The  fund 
also  pays  for  many  of  the  expenses 
of  exchange  students  here.  It 
provides  them  with  a  yearbook  and 
newspaper  subscription  and  pays 
for  all  sports  tickets. 
City  councils  meet 

Each  month  a  city-wide  student 
council  meeting  is  held  at  different 
schools  around  Fort  Wayne.  About 
five  members  attend  each  of  these 
meetings. 

They  provide  for  a  time  of  sharing 
ideas  and  for  organizing  city-wide 
events.  Snider  is  planning  a  Penny 
Arcade,  similar  to  the  one  EHS  had. 
Elmhurst  will  be  having  a  booth  at 
the  Snider  arcade. 

Derek  also  said,  "Since  student 
council  is  organized  for  the  benefit 
of  the  students  themselves,  we  feel 
that  the  students  should  have  an 
active  input  in  what  the  student 
council  does.

WBGU-T^,  Channel  39,  Public     was  received  very  well.  Fort  Wayne 
Television.  PBS  ■  aU  names  for  the    could  eventually  set  up  a  full  pubLc 


new  non-commercial  programs 
Fort  Wayne  residents  are  now  able 
to  view. 

This  does  not  mean  Fort  Wayne 
is  the  headquarters  of  a  new 
station,  only  of  a  new  transmitter, 
which  telecasts  the  signals  from 
WBGU-TV  in  Bowling  Green. 
Ohio.  This  city  receives  it  on 
Channel  39. 

Annual  costs  high 

As        Wallace 

Fosnight   who  has 

been  involved  with 

PBS  from  its  start 

in    Fort    Wayne, 

explained,        the 

Iransmittonce      of 

WBGU  propramm- 

ing  is  a  kind  of  a 

[rial        situation. 

When         Public 

Television        was 

first'  being 
discussed  for  Fort  Woyne,  the 
ideas  was  thot  a  full  station  would 
be  set  up  here.  However  it  was 
generally  considered  unfair  and 
unwise  to  attempt  to  raise  the  large 
sum  that  would  be  involved  with 
such  a  construction  and  the  annual 
operating  cost  of  '5300,000  before 
the  community  Icnew  what  to 
expect  from  the  system,  Mr. 
Fosnight  commented  that  some 
local  citizens  might  be 
disappointed  in  the  quality  of  the 


UDIIC 

ftixion 


television  station. 

WBGU-TV  has  the  facilities  to 
film  its  own  local  programs  just  os 
Fort  Wayne  channels  do  local  news 
and  talk  shows,  but  the  station  also 
has  its  choice  of  nationally 
telecasted  programs  through  the 
Public  Broadcasting  System  ( PBS] 
which  is  like  NBC,  CBS,  and  ABC, 

Commercials  missing 

One  of   the  biggest  features  of 
PBS  is  the  lack  of 
commercials.    This 
•  brings      up      the 

question  of  how 
the  operation  is 
financed.  The 
funds  for  the 
transmitter.  the 
Bowling  Green 
station  and  the 
national  system  all 
have  basically  the 
same  origins.  The 
i    contributed    bv 


money 

individuals,  corporate   grant: 

the  government 

universities. 


and 


The  channel  offers  classrbom 
instruction  from  8:30  to  •1:00  and 
later  programs  include  theatrical 
productions.  Black  Perspective  on 
the  News,  Book  Beat,  and 
Consumer  Survival  Kit,  A  full 
viewing  schedule  is  printed  in  the 
local    newspapers    under    local 


Trojan    Singers  entertain  wide 
variety  of  audiences 


signal,  but  thot  if  the  programming     stations  as  WBGU-39. 


Every  day  after  school, 
the  Trojan  Singers  work  at 
memorizing  music  to  sing  at 
various  places. 

They  are  a  select  group  of 
20,  and  must  audition  for 
positions  in  the  soprano, 
alto,  tenor,  and  bass 
sections. 

Directed  by  Mr.  Al 
Schmutz,  the  singers  have 
given  over  15  concerts  this 
year,  singing  for  Lions  Club 
meetings,  tennis  banquets, 
women's  clubs  ■-  almost 
anywhere.  They  have  sung 
concerts  at  school  as  well. 
They  participated  in  the 
NISBOVA  contest  thispast 
Saturday. 

Songs  vary 

The  group  sings  a  variety 
of  things.  In  the  jazz 
department  there  are 
arrangements  by  Anita 
Kerr,  George  Gershwin,  and 
Burt  Bacharach.  Rockier 
pieces  include  the  well 
known  "Spinning  Wheel ' * 
and  a  song  from  the  musical 
"Jesus  Christ  Superstar." 
Also,  a  number  that  Barbra 
Streisand  made  popular, 
"What  Are  You  Doing  the 
Rest     Of     Your     Life?" 


Included  in  their  program 
are  contemporary 
arrangements  of  music  by 
Bach  and  Mozart. 

Before  school  started,  the 
group  went  to  a  band  camp 
in  Kentucky  with  the 
marching  band,  and 
practiced  all  day  for  a  week. 
The  main  purpose  of  this 
was  to  get  through  the  time 
consuming  process  of 
learning  the  notes,  so  that 
by  the  time  school  started, 
they  would  be  ready  to  work 
on  the  other  musical  aspects 
of  the  tunes,  such  as 
dynamics,  phrases,  diction, 
and  tone  quality.

lesson.    With    a    group    of 
friends    along    this    trip 
proves  to  be  very  enjoyable. 
There   are   many    smaller 
areas  in  Northern  Indiana, 
Ohio,  and  Michigan  that  one 
could    escape    to    for    a 
weekend    at     a     minimum 
expense,  while  for  a  longer 
period    of    time    there    are 
excellent  areas  in  Northern 
Michigan    and    Wisconsin. 
These    prove    to    be    quite 
expensive        but        also 
enjoyable. 

Along  with  everything 
else,  the  price  of  skiing  has 
gone  up  in  Northern 
Michigan.  Lift  tickets  for  all 
day  are  now  $10,  and  in 
Southern  Michigan  cost 
from  three  to  five  dollars. 

Cross  country  skiing  is 
also  gaining  popularity. 
Many  may  think  it's  not  as 
challenging  or  it's  easier, 
when  actually  one  seems  to 
put  more  effort  into  one's 
work.  Cross  country  is 
primarily  done  on  gently 
rolling  land  and  in  a  swift 
striding  motion.  Equipment 
also  differs;  the  skis  are 
very  long  and  narrow,  and 
boots  are  a  shoe  that  ties. 

Cross  country  has  a  big 
advantage  over  down  hill 
skiing  if  one  has   his  own 


it's  not  uncommon  to  see 
someone  in  an  open  field  or  a 
golf  course.  Cross  country 
may  prove  a  little  bit  less 
expensive  due  to  the  fact 
that  you  don't  need  Uft 
tickets. 

A  new  "style"  of  skiing 
which  proves  fun  is  "Hot 
Dog"  skiing.  Its  name 
almost  tells  you  it's 
composed  of  flips,  turns, 
tumbling  of  all  sorts,  and 
yes,  even  a  baUet.  This  is  a 
fun  thing  to  learn  with  a 
group  of  friends. 

The    atmosphere    at    ski 


everyone  is  tnere  to  ski  anu 
they  are  all  having  a  good 
time  and  happy.  Most 
people  will  talk  to  you  and 
ask  you  about  your  skiing  or 
where  you  are  from. 

Many  Elmhurst  students 
are  already  ski-buffs  and 
have  found  the  freedom, 
challenge,  and  excitement  of 
thrill  that  skiing  brings.  But 
also  many  of  the  Elmhurst 
students  who  haven't 
discovered  the  beauty  of 
skiing  may  feel  the  urge  to 
try  it.

EHS  girls  particip 


by  Karyn  Heiney 

The  1974-75  sports  program  at  Elmhurst  brought  not' 
only  some  new  faces,  but  also  a  few  new  sports  as  well.  One 
of  these  ia  the  girls  basketball  team  coached  by  Mrs. 
Doswell. 

The  team,  consisting  of  two  seniors,  five  juniors  and  ten 
sophomores,  now  sports  a  0-3  record  for  the  first  third  of 
their  9-game  season.  Although  the  girls  have  lost  their  first 
three  games,  Mrs.  Doswell  commented  that  they  are 
improving  all  the  time  and  that  Elmhurst  will  have  a  win! 
before  too  long. 

The  Trojans'  first  three  losses  came  at  the  hands  of 
Concordia,  17-50;  Harding,  35-46;  and  Bishop  Luers,  24-34. 
One  of  the  main  problems  that  Coach   Doswell  feels  is 
keeping    the    team    out    of    the    winning   column    is    the," 
inconsistency  in  the  overall  team  scoring. 

At  the  start  of  the  season  the  girls'  basketball  team  was' 
just  like  a  lot  of  the  Trojan  teams,  inexperienced  and  young. 
^However,  they  are  growing  more  confident  as  they  play. 
With  the  help  of  student  teacher  Miss  Diana  Mankey 
from  Ball  State,  Coach  Doswell  has  held  practices  since 
November  18  and  now  says  that  though  the  gym  they 
practice  in  is  very  inadequate,  the  team  is  starting  to  work 
on  different  base  line  plays  and  things  should  be  looking  up  ' 
in  the  future.

Crimson,  made  an  anDOuDcement. 
He  said  that  King  Crimson  was  now 
officially  dissolved.  To  many  people 
this  was  unexpected  and 
disheartening  news.  Others 
accepted  it  as  part  of  the  never 
ending  metamorphosis  of  King 
Crimson. 

The  news  was  surprising  because 
King  Crimson  seemed  to  be  very 
stable  with  a  bright  future.  Sax 
players  Mel  Collins  and  Ian 
McDonald  from  the  early  King 
Crimson  had  recently  rejoined  the 
band  on  a  permanent  basis.  Another 
reason  the  announcement  was 
unexpected  is  because  "Red"  is  a 
very  good  album.  It  is  very 
powerful,  in  the  tradition  of  King 
Crimson  .  Much  of  the  music 
however  is  very  similar  to  the  last 
K.C.  album.  "Starless  and  Bible 
Black."  Fripp  realized  the  lack  of 
progress  (not  in  the  tradition  of 
King  Crimson)  and  simply  decided 
that  it  was  over. 

Album  holds  up 

As  expected,  though  ,  the  album 
is  good  and  very  well  performed. 
The  first  side  holds  the  best  materia! 


with  "Red".  "Fallen  Angel",  and 
"One  More  Red  Nightmare."  Collins 
and  McDonald  get  in  their  Ucks  or 
outstanding  sax  solos  and  good 
back-up.  Robert  Fripp  plays  well 
and,  as  always,  with  a  lot  of  class. 
Bassist  John  Wetton  and 
percussionist  Bill  Bruford  have 
gotten  very  clos&  musically  since 
Bruford  joined  Crimson  after 
leaving  Yes  in  late  1972. 

The  only  real  drawback  of  the 
album  is  the  similarity.  King 
Crimson  has  always  been  unique 
and  their  last  three  albums  have  all 
been  very  good,  but  unfortunately, 
they  all  have  basically  the  same 
sound.  The  band  seems  to  have 
fallen  into  a  rut  and  had  trouble 
getting  out. 


King  Crimson  had  too  much 
talent  to  simply  be  written  off  as 
over.  Fripp  will  probably  pursue 
other  musical  interests  for  a  while  as 
he  has  in  the  past  (a  la  Vander  Graff, 
Eno,  and  Robin  Trower)  but  his  ties 
with  King  Crimson  are  strong. 
Don't  be  too  surprised  if  there  is  a 
new  King  Crimson  in  the  offing 
soon,  but  on  the  other  hand,  don't  be 
too  surprised  if  there  isn't.

e  in  winter  sports 


lusde,  toUow  the  gymnast  from  the  low  bar  to  the 
■  she  mounts  until  she 


Ever  since  Olga  Korbut  startled  the  world  at  the  72  Olympics,  women  s 
gynmastics  has  enjoyed  an  upsurge  in  popularity.  This  holds  true  tor 
Elmhurst  also,  as  the  second  year  in  competition  for  the  girls'  gymnastic 
team  is  about  to  begin. 

The  team,  coached  by  Mrs.  Marty  Burns,  consists  of  seven  seniors,  five 
juniors,  and  six  sophomores.  It  will  hove  four  returning  lettetmen  this 
year  They  are  seniors  Cindy  BradtmiUer,  Denise  Stein,  Bonnie  Carr.on, 
and  junior  Linda  Smyser.  These  four  will  be  backed  by  a  much  stronger  ^ 
team  than  previously  seen. 

There  ore  lour  events  in  the  area  of  gymnastics:  The  floor  exercise. 
jneven  parallel  bars,  vaulting,  and  balance  beam.  Floor  routines  combine 
dance,  grace,  and  tumbling  ability,  putting  it  to  music.  The  unevens, 
requiring  the  most 

high.   She  should  have  no  definite  stops  once 

dismounts.  Vaulting  is  when  a  girl  does  a  specific  maneuver  over  a  48 
high  "horse,"  such  as  straddle,  stoop,  or  handspring  vault.  Balance  beam, 
the  most  dangerous  of  the  four,  is  performed  on  a  4.inch  piece  of  wood 
approximately  three  and  a  half  feet  from  the  floor.  Height  on  leaps, 
suteness  of  execution  of  moves,  and  originality  are  what  the  judge  looks 
for  in  the  routine. 

A  gymnast  may  compete  in  aU  four  events  lor  "aU  around"),  or  she  may 
Icompete  in  only  one.  A  girl  who  goes  aU  around  works  doubly  hard  as 
iothers  to  complete  aU  tour  routines  perfectly.  She  has  only  the  Sam.' 
amount  of  time  as  a  girl  who  specializes  in  one  event  solely. 

Sophomore  gymnast  Katy  Young  comments  that  the  team  looks  good, 
,speciaUy  the  seniors  and  a  few  others.  "But,"  she  said,  "there  needs  to  b< 
jmore  dedication  ~  gymnastics  should  be  more  of  a  serious  business.  "  She, 
iwent  on  to  say  school  support  is  almost  nonexistent.  "Then  again, 
gymnastics  is  a  baby  at  Elmhurst  plus  being  a  girls'  sport.  This  affects 
how  people  view  it,"  stated  Katy, 

So  women's  gymnastics  is  on  the  upswing  at  Elmhurst.  This  year  the    <^^ 
team  is  looking  forward  to  better  things  as  they  prepare  for  the  upcommg 
Iseason. 

The  team's  first  meet  is  Jan.  23,  at  South  Adams.  Thek  first  home  meet 
is  Jan.  27,  against  Wayne.  The  team  is  hopeful  for  a  much  better  season 
than  last  year's.  Unfortunately,  support  from  school,  lack  of  money,  and 
old  equipment  seriously  affect  this  hope. 


...Genesis  releases  milestone' 


GENESIS    ■    THE    LAMB    LIES   DOWN  ON  BROADWAY 


Il-Editorial 


For  those  who  follow  Genesis, 
their  new  double-album  "The  Lamb 
Lies  Down  On  Broadway"  is 
somewhat  of  a  milestone.  Since  their 
first  album,  five  years  ago,  Genesis 
has  continually  sought  artistry  and 
perfection  in  all  of  their  music.  This. 
their  seventh  release,  goes  beyond 
all  expectations  and  is  by  far  one  of 
the  best  albums  of  1974. 


"The  Lamb  Lies  Down  On 
Broadway"  is  a  concept  album, 
similar  to  the  Who's 

Quadrophenia"  in  format  and 
story  line.  It  is  the  story  of  Rael,  a 
young  New  York  City  street  punk, 
searching  ( for  himself? )  in  and  under 
the  city.  VocaHst  Peter  Gabriel 
If'ads  the  listener  through  the 
various  bizarre  happenings  that 
'jefall  Rael  throughout  the  story. 
The  music,  however,  is  the  most 
•outstanding  trait  of  the  album. 

Listener  wafts  away 
Only  a  few  bands  have  the  ability  to 
let  the  listener  get  carried  away  in 
their  music.  Genesis  has  been  doing 
this  for  a  long  time,  most  notably  on 
their  two  previous  albums, 
■'Foxtrot"  and  "Selling  England  by 
the  Pound".  Tony  Bank's  keyboards 
are  the  uniting  force  of  this  album. 
He    has    many    intricate    solos    on 


piano  and  synthesizer  but  often  he 
uses  organ  or  mellotron  to  make 
very  smooth  transitions  between 
songs. 

Guitarist,  Steve  Hackett,  is 
another  dimension  of  Genesis.  He 
uses  many  devices  to  change  and 
add  to  the  sound  of  his  guitars. 
Often  the  effects  he  gets  are 
mistaken  for  other  instruments. 
Most  important,  though,  is  that  the 
music  flows.  The  band  is  very  tight 
and  it  shows  in  both  their  style  and 
sound. 

"The  Lamb  Lies  Down  on 
Broadway"  is  strong'in  all  respects. 
The  story  is  excellent  and  the  music 
is  fantastic.  Genesis  has  done  it 
again.  As  Peter  Gabriel  says,  "It's 
only  knock  and  knowall,  but  I  like

Bowling    occupies   majority   of  Kevin    Lee's   time 


JUNIOR  JON  RVSSO  HAS  COMPETED 
in  roller  skating  and  figure  skating. 


KEVIN  LEE.  JUNIOR.  IS  A  BOWLER 
FOR  A  PASTIME,  a  bowler  for  a  hobby. 
works  at  a  bowling  alley  and  would  like  to 
become  a  professional  bowler. 


At  Smitty's  Lanes,  where  junior  Kevin  Lee 
works,  he  does  more  than  play  the  pinball 
machine;  he  howls.  He  not  only  bowls,  but  he 
bowls  consistently  in  the  160-200  range. 
Kevin  practices  bowling  to  the  tune  of  35-40 
games  a  week.  This  often  frustrating  game 
has  become  a  refined  hobby  of  Kevin's  and 
may  become  a  career. 

Kevin  usually  bowls  at  Smitty's  Lanes 
about  16  hours  a  week.  At  Smitty's  he 
participates  in  two  men's  leagues 
maintaining  a  -170  .and  180  average, 
respectively.  Last  year  he  achieved  a  158 
average  in  league  play, 

Kevin's  highest  series  (three  games)  was  a 
675  which  he  estabUshed  this  Christmas 
vacation,  He  hos  also  chalked  up  an 
impressive  244  mark  for  a  single  game.  Kevin 
pointed  out,  "As  you  can  see,  practice  pays 
off  ■■ 

Bowling  starts  young 

Kevin  first  began  bowling  at  age  nine, 
when  he  knocked  over  a  total  of  26  pins.  He 
bowled  his  first  200  game  at  12  and  his  first 
dOO  series  at  14.  At  13  he  and  four  others 
entered  a  VFW  (Veterans  of  Foreign  Wars) 
tournament  at  Dehnert's  in  the  senior 
division.  His  team  won  it.  Many 
tournaments  offer  money  prizes.  However. 
Kevin  hasn't  participated  in  these  because 
this  would  make  him  ineligible  for  high 
school  baseball. 

As  a  result,  Kevin  has  restricted  himself  to 
participating  in  a  variety  of  leagues.  This  is 
his  first  year  in  a  men's  league  and  his  team 
won  the  first  half  of  the  Monday  night 
championship.  This  year  in  league  bowling  he 
has  rolled  a  619  series. 

Kevin's  outstanding  scores  are  based  on  a 


conventional  4-step  style.  In  this  style  the 
fingers  are  placed  all  the  way  in  the  holes. 
causing  the  ball  to  hook  less  than  other 
styles.  He  throws  more  of  a  curve,  which  is 
different  from  a  hook.  A  curve  rolls  down  the 
right  side  of  the  alley  then  breaks  into  the 
pocket,  whereas  the  hook  is  thrown  from  the 
left  side  of  the  alley,  goes  to  the  right  side 
and  then  it  breaks  left  into  the  pocket. 

He  prefers  spot  bowUng  which  is  the 
method  of  picking  out  an  arrow  on  the  lane 
and  bowhng  over  it.  He  also  finds  it 
beneficial  to  bowl  at  different  alleys,  and 
says  much  con  be  learned  by  observing 
professional  bowlers.  When  asked  how  far  he 
plans  to  go  in  bowling,  Kevin  replied,  "I 
would  like  to  make  a  career  out  of  it.  ■ 

Kevin  uses  a  14'/i  pound  ball,  a  Brunswick 
Black  Beauty.  He  suggests  that  a  person 
should  obtain  a  good  ball  such  as  a 
Brunswick,  Ebonite,  or  AMF  and  have  it 


drilled  properly  in  a  pro  shop.  The  ball  should 
not  be  too  light;  if  anything  it  should  be 
slightly  heavy.  Otherwise,  the  ball  might  be 
thrown  too  hard. 

Spot  bowling  preferred 

Kevin  recommends  spot  bowUng  for 
beginners,  using  4  steps.  Standing  at  the  end 
of  the  alley  is  not  recommended,  but  instead, 
the  bowler  should  be  about  '.-i  the  distance 
from  the  foul  line  to  the  end  of  the  aUey.  Also, 
swinging  the  ball  above  the  shoulders  can 
lead  to  serious  control  problems  as  well  as 
embarrassment  if  the  ball  is  dropped  on  the 
backswing.  The  follow  through  should  end 
with  the  hand  about  eye  level. 

As  a  lesson  to  those  who  allow  themselves 
to  put  holes  in  restroom  walls  with  their  fists 
as  one  man  recently  did  at  Smitty's,  Kevin 
said  that  one  should  "control  himself  while 
bowling  because  it  can  become  fnistroting." 


Howard,    Campbell    are   Rotarians 


Senior  Lyle  Howard,  as  Junior  Rotarian 
attended  weekly  Rotary  club  luncheons  for 
the  month  of  December.  Taking  over  the 
position  for  the  month  of  January  is  senior 

Dave  Campbell. 


A  k 


Dave  Campbell 


"!  really  enjoyed  last  month's  meetings", 
commented  Lyle,  who  confessed  he  originally 
thought  being  selected  Junior  Rotarian  was 
"littlemore  than  an  ego  trip.  '  he  now  says  he 
realized  the  point  of  the  program.  "I  got  to 
meet  a  lot  of  interesting  people,  and  I  really 
think  I  learned  a  lot  of  new  things  about  our 
city  through  the  speakers  and  the  gentlemen 
attending." 

Lyle  expressed  special  enjoyment  of  the 
last  meeting  he  attended  where  Mayor 
Lebamoff  discussed  many  of  his  plans  for  the 
city's  growth.  AFS  exchange  student 
Corinne  Bucher  also  attended  this  meeting 
and  found  it  very  informative. 

Dave  will  represent  the  school  through  the 
end  of  the  month.

Sophomore  Trojans  ihalk  up  win  n  ing  s  tart 


by  Kevin  Lee 

With  the  varsity  and 
reserve  teams  showing  them 
the  winning  way,  the 
sophomore  basketball  team 
has  compiled  a  4-1  record. 
North  Side,  Northrop, 
Homestead,  and  Harding  all 
fell  to  the  Trojans, 

Portage,  along  with 
Kekionga,  produced  many 
basketball  players  for 
Ehnhurst  this  year.  Portage 
boasted  the  ninth  grade  city 
champions  last  year  while 
Kekionga  had  a  good  year 
too.  Five  sophomores  made 
the  varsity  squad  this  year, 
with  Ernie  Starks  as 
starting  center.  Curtis 
Paschall,  Doug  Peters. 
Brian  Russell,  and  Mike 
Brewer  will  also  play  some 
reserve  ball.  In  addition 
Brewer   and    Paschall   have 


seen   limited   action   in   the 
sophomore  games. 
Passes  test 

The  first  test  for  the 
sophomores  came  from 
North  Side  with  the  Trojans 
coming  away  with  a  44-35 
win.  The  Trojans  then  went 
on  to  beat  Northrop,  36-28, 
before  losing  to  the  Generals 
of  Wayne. 

At  the  end  of  the  first 
quarter,  Elmhurst  and 
Wayne  were  tied  but  the 
second  quarter  saw  Wayne 
pull  away  gradually.  At  the 
end  of  the  third  stanza, 
Wayne  still  held  the  lead 
with  each  team  keeping  the 
other  in  check.  Elmhurst 
came  surging  back  during 
the  fourth  quarter  but  could 
not  top  Wayne.  At  the  end, 
the  final  score  was  44-42  in 
favor  of  Wayne. 


Team  of  the  future 

The  sophomore  team  went 
on  to  post  easy  wins  against 
Homestead  and  Harding, 
beating  Harding  47-36  and 
killing  Homestead  56-40. 
After  last  night's  game  at 
Concordia,  the  sophomore 
team  has  three  games  left 
including  a  rematch  against 
Wayne.  They  are  as  follows: 
Wayne  at  Elmhurst,  5  p.m., 
Jan  6;  Elmhurst  at  Snider,  5 
p.m.,  Jan.  9,  South  Side  at 
Elmhurst,  5  p.m.,  Jan.  15. 

Following  is  the  roster  of  the 
sophomore  team: 


Mt 


Cusfom     Picfure    Framing 


Height    Weight 

Amos  Belcher  5'9"  145 

TomBrower  5'7"  140 

Kenny  Coker  5'6"  140 

Don  Culpepper  6'1"  155 

Rick  Hamilton  5'H"  135 

Wilfred  Harris  62"  147 

RandyJanson  5'H"  155

JohnStiffler  5'10"  150 

Johnnie  White  5'7"  160 

RonWhitson  6'  160 

As  a  team,  the  Trojans  are 
shooting  at  a  36  per  cent 
clip  from  the  field  while 
making  48  percent  of  their 
foul  shots.   Scoring  leaders 


are  Ron  Whitson.  9.2  points 
per  game,  followed  by 
Johnnie  White  and  Kenny 
Coker.  7.2  and  5.8  points  per 
game  respectively.  Whitson 
has  played  18  quarters  out 
of  a  possible  20  while  White 
and  Coker  have  played 
about  half  as  much  since 
they  play  reserve  ball  also. 

With  five  sophomores  on 
the  varsity  now  and  three 
others  playing  reserve  ball. 
Elmhurst  appears  to  be  a 
team  of  the  future.  And  that 
future  may  come  sooner 
than  some  people  expect.

Russo  participates  in  si<ating  contests 

"I  was  happy  to  place 


For  some  students  a  trip  to  the 
Roller  Dome  or  an  afternoon  of  ice 
skating  is  simply  time  filling 
enjoyment  -■  but  to  junior  Jon 
Russo,  skating  means  a  lot  more. 

When  Jon  was  7  years  old,  he  and 
his  family  lived  in  California.  "I  saw 
my  older  cousin  skate  so  I  just 
decided  to  skate."  Jon  recalled.  At 
this  time  Jon  was  roller  skating. 

Later  in  his  skating  career,  when 
Jon  was  12  years  old,  he  took  first 


On    the  ice,  junior  Jc 
ikatingpose- 


i  Russo   strikes 


place  in  the  Southwest  Pacific 
Regional  Championship,  which 
includes  participants  from  the 
California,  Nevada,  and  Arizona 
area. 

From  that  championship,  he  went 
to  national  competition  in  the 
juvenile  boy's  figure  skating.  Out  of 
all  the  participants  from  different 
areas  in  the  United  States,  Jon 
placed  18th. 

In  1971,  Jon  reached  the  national 
level  once  again,  this  time  in  the 
men's  figure  skating  event. 
Capturing  second  place,  Russo 
succeeded  in  defeating  thirty  other 
regional  winners. 

Ice  more  appealing 

After  moving  to  Fort  Wayne,  and 
after  a  time  of  decision,  Jon  decided 
to  change  from  roller  skating  to  ice 
skating. 

"I  switched  to  ice  because  I  think  - 
there  is  more  recognition."  Jon 
illustrated  this  by  saying,  "Ice 
skating  has  been  an  Olympic  event 
for  some  time,  whereas  roller 
skating  was  just  recently  accepted 
for  the  Olympics." 

After  his  change  from  hard  wood 

to  ice,  Jon  reflected  on  some  of  the 

,     differences.  "On  the  ice  there  is  a  lot 

nore  flow,   you  can  express  more 

feeling   and   emotion,   you   simply 


have  more  fluency.* 

To  attain  the  fluency  and 
experience  needed  to  become  a 
competitive  ice  skater,  Jon  has 
spent  his  last  three  months 
practicing  as  a  '•beginner." 
"Practice  usually  starts  at  3;  we  do 
figure  skating  for  about  two  hours, 
free-style  skating  for  an  hour,  and 
then  an  hour  of  dance  practice,  all 
together  being  about  four  hours  of 
practice  per  day." 

Jon  belongs  to  the  Fort  Wayne 
Ice  Skating  Club  that  practices  at 
the  McMillen  Ice  Rink. 
Places  fifth  in  meet 

The  weekend  of  Dec.  8,  Jon  and 
the  rest  of  the  ice  team  competed  in 
Lansing.    Michigan    in    the    Great 

Lalires      Regional     Ice     Skating 

Tournament.  Jon  placed  5th  in  his 

division. 


■"I  was  happy  to  place  in  my  first 
ice  tournament,"  stated  Jon,  "but  I 
was  upset  because  the  guy  that  won 
first  place  fell  on  his  jumps." 

As  every  aspiring  athlete  has  a 
dream,  Jon  hopes  to  someday 
compete  in  the  Olympics. 

"I  went  to  the  World  Ice  Skating 
Meet  to  watch."  Jon  remembered, 
"talked  to  the  different  world  teams, 
some  even  showed  me  some 
different  skating  techniques  ■■  I 
went  to  learn  and  that  really  made 
me  decide  ice  is  forme."

Although  the  Elmhurst 
wrestling  team  receives 
about  the  least  publicity  at 
Elmhurst,  it  usually  turns 
out  to  be  one  of  the  most 
successful  sports.  Thif 
year's  team  consists  of  nine 
seniors,  eight  juniors,  and  17 
rookies,  Lettermen 
retioming  to  the  team  are 
'seniors  Chuck  Parent,  Terry 
Emmons,  Tim  Freeman,  Jim 
Norton,  and  Dave  Boyer. 

So  far,  the  varsity  team 
has  wrestled  for  a  2-2  record. 
Head  Coach  Jim  Welborn 
stated  that  the  team  is 
"bigger  than  last  year."  and 
that  the  schedule  is  "the 
toughest  around". 

The  school  support  that 
wrestling  receives  is  not  all 
that  good.  Coach  Welborn 
explained  that  last  year 
there  were  800  fans 
attending  the  wrestling 
match  at  Wayne,  but  this 
year's  number  has  dwindled 
to  approximately  250. 

The  two  varsity  setbacks, 
to  South  Side  33-24  and  to 
Concordia  29-26,  were 
redeemed  by  the  Trojan 
trouncing  of  Norwell  54-8 
and  Wayne  36-30.  According 
to    Coach    Welborn,     this 


year's  team  has  more 
potential  than  any  in  the 
past  seven  years  he  has  been 
coaching  here  at  Elmhurst. 

The  job  of  coaching  is  not 
left  to  Mr.  Welborn  alone; 
he  is  assisted  by  Mr.  Jim 
Lambert,  and  Mr.  Bob 
Horn,    both   coaching    for 


their  second  year. 

The  team  has  practiced 
every  day  except  Sunday 
since  Oct.  15,  and  will  be 
practicing  over  Christmas 
vacation.  The  team  has 
received  a  new  building,  new 
mat  and  new  uniforms  for 
the  year's  season. 


Sfudent  Council  reviews 


Team  solicits  support 


by  Derek  Paris 
ftnd  Mike  Arnold 

This  year  the  Elmhurst 
Student  Council  set  its 
major  goals  on  making  the 
1)97d-75  year  a  memorable 
and  enjoyable  one  for  all 
students  in  the  school.  And 
in  order  to  do  this,  the 
council  should  sponsor 
activities  which  will  bring 
the  whole  school  together. 

So  far  this  year,  we  feel  we 
have  enjoyed  moderate 
success  as  far  as  getting 
students  to  participate  in 
student  council  sponsored 
activities  is  concerned.  We 
feel  that  this  year's 
Homecoming  Parade  was 
successful  for  the  second 
time,  that  the  Penny  Arcade 
was  a  large  hit,  and  that  the 
semi -formal  Christmas 
dance  was  also  well  received. 
But  there  is  still  a  lot  of 
room  for  improvement  in 
participation.  We  realize 
that  this  is  probably  due  to 
the  fact  that  in  the  past 
Student  Council  activities 
have  not  been  for  everyone 
who  wants  to  come,  but 
rather  for  the  same  group  of 
people  who  organized  the 
activities.  And  this  image 
may  be  a  little  tough  to  get 


rid  of,  but  we  are  trying  to 
make  our  activities  for 
everyone.  If  anyone  feels 
there  is  something  that  the 
student  council  could  do  for 
the  people  of  the  school  you 
are  welcome  to  talk  to  any 
student  council  member 
any  time.  We  would  be  more 
than  happy  to  discuss  any 
activities  with  you. 

We  feel  that  this  year  will 
leave  quite  a  bit  for  future 
Student  Councils  to  work 
with.  We  hope  that  the 
activities  we  have  started 
will  become  traditional  to 
Elmhurst  and  they  will 
become  increasingly  more 
profitable  and  enjoyable  to 
both  the  students  and 
faculty  as  the  tradition 
grows. 

With  the  continued  help 
of  the  administration  and 
school  body  we  would  Uke  to 
continue  to  have  activities 
which  all  of  Elmhurst  will 
enjoy.  Some  of  our  planned 
activities  for  the  rest  of  this 
year  are  more  dances  if  we 
can  find  good  groups,  more 
entertaining  assembUes.  a 
Spring  Break  Fun  Day  and 
whatever  else  we  can  do  to 
promote  school  spirit. 


To  the  Editor: 

I  would  like  to  take  this 
opportunity  to  ask  a  very 
special  favor  of  the  EHS 
student  body.  I  am  only  a 
part  of  the  girl's  basketball 
team  but  I  think  I  am 
speaking  for  the  entire  team 
in  this  letter. 

On  Jan.  23,  Thursday 
evening,  at  approximately 
7:30.  the  Girl's  Basketball 
team  will  take  on  the  team 
from  Bishop  Luers  In  the 
EHS  gym.  Though  we  have 
had  a  disappointing  season 
so  far,  the  team  has  a  very 
optimistic  outlook  towards 
the  Luer'sgarae. 

The  favor  we  would  like  to 
ask  the  student  body  is 
simply  this:  please,  we  need 
your  support.  I  can't  think 
of  anything  that  would  be 
more  inspiring  than  seeing 
true  Elmhurst  fans  backing 
the  girls  to  a  victory.  We  are 
not  asking  you  to  travel  to 
an  away  game,  but  simply  to 
support  us  at  our  next  home 
game. 

Thank  you  very  much. 

MS 


To  the  Editor: 

I  would  like  to  express  my 
views  on  "busy  work."  I 
beheve  that  some  homework 
is  definitely  needed,  but 
when  teachers  assign 
homework  just  to  assign 
homework,  this  is 

unnecessary.  There  are 
many  teachers  at  EHS  that 
are  guilty  of  this.  Students 
who  are  active  in 
extracurricular  activities  are 
hurt.  Students  who  carry 
Dart-time  jobs  to  help 
themselves  financially 
are  hurt. 

They  are  hurt  because  to 
do  all  the  busy  work 
teachers  have  assigned,  and 
carry  a  job  or  activity  at  the 
same  time,  means  giving  up 
one  or  the  other,  or  keeping

late  hours  and  not  getting 
enough  sleep  and  being 
constantly  tired. 

It  also  won't  help  school 
spirit,  for  no  one  wants  to 
come  to  a  game  after  being 
at  school  (even  when  they 
are  not  at  "school".)  This 
may  not  change  any 
teachers,  but  at  least  it  has 
let  some  see  a  new 
viewpoint.

The  Elmhurst  Trojans 
captured  their  fourth 
straight  victory  last 
weekend  by  crushing  Bishop 
Dwenger  77-64  and 
defeating  Norwell  91-88  in 
the  second  overtime. 

The  Trojans'  victory  over 
Dwenger  boosted  the 
Ehnhurst  SAC  record  to  2-0 
and  put  them  in  a  tie  for  the 
conference  lead  with  Snider 


and  North  Side. 

The  Trojans  literally  ran 
the  Saints  into  the  ground 
with  the  fast-break  oriented 
offense  and  by  the  time  the 
starters  were  pulled  by 
Coach  Eytcheson,  the  score 
was  71-45.  Larry  and 
Raymond  Reese  combined 
for  41  of  Elmhurst's  total 
points  to  lead  the  scoring  for 
the  Trojans.

Norwell  scares  EHS 

The  following  night  the 
Elmhurst  team  traveled  to 
Norwell  for  an  attempt  to 
boost  their  overall  record  to 
4-1.  However  things  didn't 
seem  too  hopeful  at  the  start 
of  the  game  as  the  Knights 
could  do  no  wrong  and  the 
Elmhurst  offense  couldn't 
seem  to  find  the  basket. 
Then  the  Elmhurst  guards 
started  to  pop  in  some  two 
pointers  and  the  Trojans 
managed  to  keep  with-in  two 
points  at  35-33  at  halftime. 
The  game  was  close  from  the 
start  of  the  second  half  on 
and  it  looked  like  the 
Trojans  had  it  all  wrapped 
up  with  a  3  point  lead  with 
just  6  seconds  left  to  play  in 
regulation  when  Norwell 
forward  Jeff  Foughty 
converted  a  3-point  play  and 
sent  the  game  into  overtime. 

Victory  id  sight 

The  Trojans  had  an 
apparent  victory  when  an 
Elmhurst  turn-over  led  to 
another  last  second  shot  by 
the  Knights.  However  3  of 
the  5  starters  had  fouled  out 


of  the  game  during  the  first 
overtime.  The  second 
overtime  saw  the  Trojans 
fast-break  style  of  play  start 
to  click  and  with  just 
seconds  remaming  m  the 
period,  the  Trojans  left  the

New  law  "overprotects 


The  "Family  Educational  Rights  and 
Privacy  Act  of  1974"  supposedly  was 
enacted  to  solve  the  conflict  over  students 
rights  regarding  the  personal  files  kept  by 
schools. 

No  one  can  argue  a  law  that  protects,  but 
I  he  "Family  Educational  Rights  and  Privacy 
Act  of  1974"  crosses  the  line  between  "just 
'ight"and  "too  much." 

Red  Tape 

In  simple  words  (if  that  can  be  achieved). 
(he  act  states  that  a  student  18  or  over  has 
.  nnCrol  over  his  school  file,  and  his  teachers 
■jod  parents  need  a  written  ship  of  permission 
10  see  his  file.  He  also  has  to  sign  a  form 
giving  the  school  permission  to  send  a 
transcript  of  his  grades  to  colleges  and 
interested  employers.  If  the  student  is  under 
18  his  parents  have  the  control  of  his  file. 
More  than  this,  however,  is  the  amount  of 


red  tape  involved  in  the  process  of  seeing 
files  and  sending  transcripts.  There  are  30 
day  waiting  periods  and  45  day  waiting 
periods,  forms  to  send,  and  even  more  to 
sign.  The  amount  of  time  spent  on  all  of  this 
adds  up  to  a  significant  Increase  in  man 
hours  for  the  office  staff  -  hours  taken  away 
from  counseling. 

Isn't  worth  it 

The  "Family  Educational  Rights  and 
Privacy  Act"  does  more  for  the  minority 
than  the  majority.  This  legislation  could  very 
well  convince  most  counselors  that  it  just 
isn't  worth  it  to  write  recommendations  for 
students. 

Fortunately,  though,  the  "Privacy  Act"  is 
being  reviewed  on  the  federal  level  and  could 
very  well  be  amended.  Hopefully  any 
amendments  added  would  help  get  some  of 
the  red  tape  out,  and  help  clarify  the  bill.

During  the  first  quarter  of  the  Luers 
game,  Elmhurst  played  fantastic  ball.  The 
Trojans  found  the  open  man,  rebounded  and 
fast-breaked.  They  just  out-  hustled  Luers. 

Keith  Bradtmiller  and  Ernie  Starks 
grabbed  some  big  rebounds.  Forward  Dave 
Campbell  came  up  with  some  big  hoops, 
while  the  Reese  brothers  did  a  great  job  of 
hitting  the  open  man  or  scoring  the  needed 
bucket. 

Elmhurst  fans  couldn't  believe  it!  It  was 
great.  But  could  a  Trojan  team  play  that 
Way  for  the  whole  game? 
I^un  and  fun 

Almost  everyone  who  has  watched 
Elmhurst  in  the  past  realizes  the  offense  is 
based  on  the  run  and  fun-fast-break  off  of 
any  rebound  any  time,  anywhere,  which  is 
i-'^rt^at.  The  only  problem  was  when  a  fast- 
lireak  was  impossible.  What  do  you  do  then? 
I  wo  years  ago  the  answer  was  to  pass  to 
Baylor.  The  guards  weren't  super  shooters, 
^'Jget  it  to  Don. 

Taylor  was  an  outstanding  shooter. 
Trojan  backers  got  use  to  seeing  him  catch 
t^he  pass,  shoot,  and  swish  two  points. 
Everybody  expected  him  to  be  the  high 
scorer.  Kevin  Howell  and  Steve  Ransom 
Would  be  in  double  figures,  but  Taylor  was 
the  guy  to  stop. 
Taking  up  slack 

Last  year,  the  Reese  brothers  were  the 
guards.  Both  Larry  and  Ray  could  shoot 


Mike's  Side 


and  after  the  first  games  everybody  knew  it. 
But  Taylor  was  still  the  man  to  contain. 
Then  about  Christmas  time,  Taylor  stopped 
hitting.  Nobody  understood  it.  Nobody 
believed  it,  especially  Don.  He  continued  to 
shoot. ..and    miss. 

The  other  Elmhurst  starters,  the  Reeses, 
Bradtmiller  and  Howell  were  forced  to  take 
up  the  scoring  slack.  For  the  most  part  they 
did.  But  constantly  during  the  games,  the 
Trojans  would  build  up  a  big  lead,  only  to 
lose  it  and  have  to  stop  the  opponent's  last 
minute  charge. 
Getting  ulcers 

I  had  to  pity  Coach  Ken  Eytecheson.  He 
must  have'  gotten  an  ulcer  with  all  those 
close  games.  But  he  had  to  take  some  of  the 
responsibility.  If  he  would  have  disciplined 
the  team  better  and  had  better  control  of  the 
players,  many  of  the  close  games  could  have 
been  avoided.  Time  and  time  again 
Elmhurst  lost  the  ball  because  of  turnovers 
when  the  player  lost  control  of  his  body. 

This  year  I  had  hoped  the  Trojans  would 
make  fewer  errors.  But  during  the  first 
game,  Elmhurst  made  the  same  old  stupid 
mistakes.  Several  times,  when  play  got 
ragged.  Elmhurst  would  give  up  the  ball. 

This  year  Elmhurst  has  enjoyed  relatively 
balanced  scoring.  For  one  quarter  of  the 
Luers  game  they  played  good  team  ball.  If 
the  coach  can  keep  the  players  under 
control,  they  will  play  together  and  we  can 
have  a  great  year.

Someone  once  said  that  no  one  ever  lost 
money  under-estimating  the  taste  of  the 
American  public,  and  until  the  arrival  of  PBS, 
it  seemed  that  television  was  one  of  the  prime 
examples  of  that  statement. 

Public  Television  has  been  broadcasting 
superior  programming  for  more  than  ten  years. 
While  commercial  networks  were  broadcasting 
soap  operas  and  game  shows.  PBS  was 
producing  some  top-rate  educational 
programs.  Instead  of  the  usual  detective 
shows,  the  System  presented  the  tales  of 
famous  literary  sleuths  such  as  Lord  Peter 
Whimsey,  the  creation  of  authoress  Emma 
Lathen. 

The  advantages  of  PBS  are  enormous.  It 
offers  both  cultural  and  academic  exposure.  Its 
cultural  programming  covers  such  events  as 


major  jazz  concerts,  ballets  and  operas,  dance 
and  symphonies,  theatre  and  documentaries. 
Lectures  and  television  classes  are  great  aids 
to  learning. 

As  an  added  bonus.  PBS  lacks  conunerciaJs. 
Along  the  same  lines,  PBS  aims  for  a  higher 
level  of  audience,  and  unlike  other  networks, 
does  not  assume  that  the  average  viewer  has 
the  mind  of  a  12  year  old. 

Commercial  networks  have,  of  course, 
produced  some  outstanding  shows,  and 
certainly  not  everything  on  Public  Television 
will  be  of  interest  to  everyone.  However,  PBS 
is  offering  new  and  excellent  opportunities  to 
the  Fort  Wayne  area.  Hopefully  people  will 
become  aware  of  what  is  being  made  available 
through  the  new  station  and  take  advantage  of  . 
it.

Trojan  grapplcrs  4-4 

The  Elmhurst  wrestling  team  has  a  4-4  record  so  far  this 
year.  One  of  the  main  reasons  for  this  may  be  the  lack  of 
experience  and  injuries.  The  experience  is  building,  but  the 
injury  list  gets  longer. 

Despite  these  injuries,  however,  there  are  some  bright 
spots  in  the  wrestlers'  accounting.  Senior  Dave  Boyer 
remains  undefeated  in  regular  season  competition.  And 
senior  Tim  Freeman  has  defeated  a  grappler  who  won  in  the 
Bloomington  meet.  (Bloomington  has  won  most  of  the  state 
championships  in  the  past  five  years. ) 

The  reserves  remain  undefeated  with  a  record  of  6-0-1. 
They  have  defeated  every  opponent  except  Northrop,  whom 
they  tied.  The  reserves  will  wrestle  in  the  reserve 
tournament  Jem.  25.

During  the  present  school 
year,  Elmhurst 's  teams 
have  been  poorly  covered  by 
almost  everybody.  The 
major  culprits  are  the 
newspapers  and  Channels  15 
and  33. 

In  particular,  sportscaster 
Pete  Torrey  (Channel  15) 
has  done  a  good  job  of 
playing  down  the  Trojans 
with  words  like  "young, 
short,  small,  inexperienced, 
surprising,"  or  any  other 
adjective  that  portrays 
some  sort  of  weakness. 

For  those  who  don't  watch 
his  show,  Torrey  predicts 
who  will  win  the  high  school 
games  during  the  week. 
Continually  he  has  foretold 
impending  doom  for  the 
Trojans  only  to  have  to  eat

his  words  later  in  the  week. 
He  usually  starts  with  a 
statement  something  Uke, 
"The  amazing  Trojans  did  it 
again  --  (he  then  pauses  with 
a  sheepish  grin)  they  came 
through  and  sneaked  by," 
and  continues  to  tell  of  the 
Elmhurst  victory.  While 
telling  about  the  game  he 
may  stress  the  fact  that  the 
top  scorer  for  the  opposition 
only  hit  one  field  goal  during 
the  first  half  but  he  won't 
give  the  Trojan  defense  any 
credit. 

The  newspapers  were  very 
kind  to  our  football  team  but 
they  don't  seem  to  realize 
that  the  basketball  team  is 
for  real.  The  papers  have 
given  North  Side,  Northrop, 
and  Snider  much  bigger  and 
better  articles.  Elmhurst 
deserves  better. 

Channel  21  seems  to  be 
the  only  member  of  the 
media  to  respect  the  Trojan 
teams.  This  TV  station  has 
done  a  fine  job  of  reporting 
Elmhurst  games. 

It  is  time  that  Elmhurst 
gets  recognition  from 
everyone.

SSM 


The  Elmhurst  varsity  basketbaU  team 
extended  their  winning  streak  to  three 
games  by  defeating  Valparaiso  and  South 
Side  on  Jan.  10  and  II. 

The  Trojans  traveled  to  Valparaiso  on 
Friday  to  meet  a  substantially  taller  team 
Vonsisting  of  players  ranging  from  a  7  foot 
center  to  guards  of  6-1  and  6-2.  The  Trojan 
fast  break  style  of  offense  and  stingy 
defense  led  to  40  Valparaiso  turnovers  and  a 
final    78-67    Elmhurst    victory. 

The  following  evening  found  the  Trojans 
home  facing  the  South  Side  Archers  and 
capturing  a  68-65  victory  in  front  of  rare 
near-capacity  crowd.  The  game  began  with 
neither  team  being  able  to  control  the  ball 
long  enough  to  go  down  the  court  and  score. 
Things  started  to  pick  up  in  the  middle  of 
the  first  quarter,  however,  with  senior  guard 
Raymond  Reese  putting  a  little  consistency 
in  the  Trojan  scoring  with  the  rest  of  the 
team  right  behind.  The  Elmhurst  team  was 
apparently  set  to  take  a  one  point  lead  into 
the  dressing  room  at  half  time,  but  a  last 
second  desperation  shot  from  half  court 
gave  South  the  advantage. 

The  second  half  started  with  the  Trojan 
shooting  not  being  too  effective  and  both 
teams  just  pacing  with  each  other  as  neither 
could  build  a  substantial  lead.  It  was  not 
until  the  last  few  minutes  of  the  game  when 
senior  Dave  Campbell  and  sophomore  Ernie 
Starks  supphed  the  needed  burst  for  the 
Trojan  victory. 


The   Elmhurst   Trojans   improved    their 
overall    record    last    weekend    to    11-2    b\ 
defeating  DeKalb.  87-81  on  Friday  and  the 
previously  14th  ranked  team  in  the  staU 
Anderson  Indians.  79-74  on  Saturday. 

The  Trojans  played  DeKalb  at  th< 
Barons'  own  gym,  which  is  a  defimte 
handicap,  and  had  to  come  back  from  a  13- 
polnt  deficit  to  win.  The  Trojans  were  led  by 
seniors  Keith  Bradtmiller  and  Raymond 
Reese,  who  both  scored  personal  highs  in  the 
game. 

The  big  game  for  Elmhurst  however  came 
'  on  Saturday  when  the  Trojans  met 
Anderson.  The  game  was  close  throughout 
the  first  half  as  neither  team  could  build  any 
kind  of  a  lead.  The  score  was  tied  at  the  first 
stop  with  both  teams  shooting  very  well. 
There  was  no  real  difference  into  the  second 
period.  Although  Elmhurst  did  have  a  small 
lead,  late  in  the  half  the  Indians  came  back 
and  Elmhurst  led  by  only  one  at  37-36. 

Elmhurst  started  the  second  half  hot  and 
built  up  a  small  lead  which  they  never  lost, 
but  could  not  put  the  game  away  until  late 
and  even  then  it  was  not  100%  sure  until  the 
game  was  over, 

Ehnhurst  took  its  biggest  lead  of  the 
night  with  about  3  minutes  to  go  in  the 
game  at  70-59,  when  Ray  Reese  took  a  pass 
from  Dave  Campbell  for  an  easy  two.  The 
Anderson  team  didn't  give  up  however,  and 
cut  the  lead  to  74-68.  but  Elmhurst  kept  its 
distance  at  the  free-throw  line  hitting  on  5  of 
8. 


SOPHOMORE  ERNIE  STARKS  SCORES  TWO  of  his  game  high  of 
23as  the  Trojans  defeat  fourteenth  ranked  Anderson  79-74. 


Sophs    7-2 

"Three  points,  two  games 
lost"  has  been  the 
sophomore  basketball 
team's  story  this  year. 
Earlier  this  season  they 
were  defeated  by  Wayne  44- 
42,  a  two  point  difference, 
while  South  beat  them  by 
one  point,  41-40  in  the 
season  finale.  These  were 
the  only  setbacks  for  the 
tough  sophomore  team 
which  compiled  a  7-2  record. 

The  lead  volleyed  back 
and  fourth  during  the  fourth 
quarter,  but  South  hit  a 
basket  to  take  the  lead  for 
good.  The  game  ended  at  41- 
40.

BROTHERHOOD 


YMCA  holds  mock  legislature 


3  -  News 


Elmhurst  students,  along  with 
other  Indiana  high  school  students, 
are  eligible  for  the  YMCA  Youth  in 
Government  program. 

This  program  enables  students 
interested  in  government  to 
reaUstically  and  meaningfully  get 
involved  in  the  legislative  process  of 
state  government. 

The  program  has  two  parts.  First 
is  the  Pre-legislative  Assembly  Feb. 
15  at  Manchester  College.  This  is  to 
help  students  become  more  familiar 
with  procedures  and  to  give  them 
information  on  where  to  get  ideas 
and  how  to  write  legislative  bills. 

Members  of  the  General 
Assembly,  along  with  people  in 
areas  such  as  law  enforcement, 
health  and  welfare,  highway  safety, 
taxes  and  governmental  operations, 
etc.,  assist  them  in  the  composition 
of  these  bills. 

The  second  and  most  important 
part  of  the  program  takes  place  May 
2,  3,  and  4,  at  the  State  Capitol 
Building  in  Indianapolis.  Here 
students  participate  in  a  legislative 
session. 

Everyone  at  the  Model 
Legislature  will  submit  a  bill  to  the 
House  and  possifc'y  to  the  Senate 
chambers  of  the  state  government. 
The  bills  the  students  enter  will  be 
of  their  own  creation. 

Since  the  beginning  of  this 
program,  in  1936,  many  of  the  bills 


which  the  students  have  proposed 
have  been  passed  by  the  adult  state 
legislatures. 

Don  Shepherd,  who  graduated 
from  EHS  last  year,  attended  the 
program  and  submitted  a  bill  that 
didn't  make  it.  His  bill  was  for  the 
legalization  of  marijuana. 

Mr.  Richard  Mattix,  who  is  in 
charge  of  the  mock  legislature,  said, 
'■If  anyone  is  interested  in  the 
program,  please  get  in  contact  with 
me." 

The  regulation  deadline  for 
submitting  your  name  and  a  $6 
registration  fee  is  Feb.  12.  The  fee 
covers  both  the  pre-legislative 
assembly  and  the  three  days  at  the 
capitol. 


Confused  about  taxes?  Here's  a 
program  that  will  help. 

A  tax  seminar,  begun  two  days 
ago  and  continuing  until  Feb.  11,  is 
being  held  in  Room  166  mods  1-6 
and  12-13. 

On  the  first  day,  Monday,  the 
regional  director  of  Social  Security 
was  at  Elmhurst,  and  on  Tuesday 
students  saw  films  about  taxes. 

Today  and  tomorrow  a 
representative  from  the  IRS  will 
discuss  the  1040  form,  and  Friday  a 
member  of  the  State  Department  of 
Revenue  will  lecture. 

On    Feb.    10   and    11,   short   tax 


-'t^aea^cdU  fren^t^nm- 


Bishop  Luers  High  School  was 
the  scene  of  outstanding  Trojan 
musicianship  last  Saturday,  Feb.  1 

Elmhurst  prepared  twelve  vocal 
and  string  entries  for  the  annual 
NISBOVA  contests.  Receiving 
firsts  for  piano  solos  were  Donna 
Munroe  and  Andrea  Marchese. 
Claudia  Brock.  Kellie  Slate.  Cathy 
Tonn  and  Melissa  Hunter  received 
seconds  in  the  same  category. 

Both  Donna  and  Andrea  will 
participate  in  the  state  contest 
Feb.  15  at  Butler  University. 
Indianapolis.     So     will     Nancy 


Poland,  who  received  a  first  as 
Elmhurst's  only  violin  entry. 

Also  eligible  for  state 
competition  is  Pat  Tyson  for  her 
girl's  low  voice  performance,  and 
the  well-known  girls'  barbershop 
quartet  consisting  of  Yvette 
Morrill,  Linda  Morsches,  Claudia 
Johnson  and  Pat  Tyson. 

In  addition  to  these  Jan  ToUiver 
received  a  first  in  girl's  high  voice, 
a  first  was  won  by  the  duet  of 
Tammy  Syndram  and  Dan 
Isenbarger,  and  Tina  Hinton 
placed  second  in  girls'  low  voice. 


er  serves  for  Rep.  Sinks 


For  the  past  several  years,  EHS 
administrator  John  Sinks  has  served  as  both 
a  guidance  counselor  and  a  representative  of 
the  fourteenth  district  in  the  Indiana  General 
Assembly  at  Indianapolis. 

Again,  after  the  1974  election  results,  Mr. 
Sinks  is  spending  another  assembly  session 
in  the  legislature. 

Each  session  Elmhurst  faces  a  problem: 
Who  will  serve  as  junior  guidance  counselor 


forms  ( 1040-A)  wiU  be  discussed  and 
students  will  be  able  to  get  help  with 
individual  tax  problems. 

Business  classes,  some  math  and 
government  and  one  home 
economics  class  are  participating  in 
the  program.  Other  students  will 
need  passes. 


in  Mr.  Sink's  absence?  Last  year  the  answer 
was  Mrs.  Cashman;  this  year's  selection  is 
Mr.  Joe  Miller, 

"They  were  aware  downtown  that  I  was 
interested  in  administration;  Mr. 
Horstmeyer  knew,  too,"  stated  Mr.  Miller, 
'"so  Mr.  Horstmeyer  asked  if  I  would  like  to 
fill  in  for  Sinks  ..." 

While  Mr.  Miller  is  working  as  guidance 
counselor,  Mrs.  Susan  Boesch  is  taking  over 
in  the  reading  lab. 

Mr.  Sinks  will  be  in  session  until  sometime 
after  spring  vacation,  but  students  have  a 
chance  to  visit  him  beforehand. 

Anyone  who  would  like  to  serve  as  a  page 
for  Mr.  Sinks  should  write  to;

The  purpose  of  the  band  is  to  give 
musicians  from  all  over  the  state  a 
chance    to    play    with    other    good

musicians.  The  band  will  get 
together  early  in  the  morning  and 
practice  all  day  Saturday  and 
Sunday  morning.  Their  only  concert 
is  on  Sunday  afternoon  before  a  very 
large  audience, 

"The  band  will  probably  be  great 
and  I  think  the  tryouts  are  a  good 
thing  since  they  give  everyone  a 
chance  to  be  in  the  band," 
commented  sophomore  Greg 
Livengood. 

The  results  from  the  tryouts  will 
be  announced  sometime  in  the 
following  week.

\.m    1/egas    \n^    memorable 


by  Marilynn  Scberer 

"One  of  the  things  that  I  will 
remember  about  the  trip...  was  that 
Kojak  (Telly  Savalas)  kissed  Mr. 
Duff's  wife."  reminisced  Mrs.  Susan 
Anderson,  assistant  to  .-he  principal 
here  at  Elmhurst. 

Mrs.  Anderson  was  speaking 
about  her  recent  trip  to  Las  Vegas, 
Nevada,  to  attend  the  National 
Association  of  Secondary  School 
Principals  convention. 
Accompanied  by  her  husband,  Mr. 
Flip  Anderson,  and  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Richard  Horstmeyer.  Mrs. 
Anderson's  "vacation"  was  filled 
with  several  "memorable  learning 
experiences," 

At  the  convention.  such 
personalities  as  Terrencc  Bell.  Dan 
Rather  (CBS  News  Correspondent), 
and  George  Gallup  (of  the  Gallup 
Polls )  were  among  the  featured 
speakers. 

"There        were        about        25 


administrators  (along  with  their 
spouses)  in  attendance  from  the 
Fort  Wayne  area,"  said  Mrs. 
Anderson. 

This  included  Mr.  Tom  Duff, 
whose  lucky  wife  won  a  kiss  from 
the  irresistible  Telly  Savalas.  Mr. 
Duff  is  the  assistant  principal  at 
Kekionga  Junior  High  School. 

"Just  before  leaving  the  airport  in 
Las  Vegas,"  recalled  Mrs. 
Anderson,  "a  man  was  playing  a 
slot  machine  -  he  ended  up  winning 
approximately  $60  in  quarters. 

Mrs.  Anderson  was  almost  as 
lucky  as  that  man  -  but  no  quite  as 
profitable.  She  played  a  quarter  slot 
machine  for  Mrs.  Bonnie  Gran,  and 
won  $5;  Mr  Dick  Poor's  nickel  did 
almost  as  well,  collecting  $2. 

Unfortunately  for  this  reporter, 
Mrs.  Anderson's  lucky  streak  did 
not  last  -  and  the  machine  ate  my 
quarter.  Which  only  goes  to  prove 
.  hat  the  best  don't  always  win.

All-city  Honors  Choir  is  an 
organization  which  meets  several 
weeks  a  year  to  practice  for  one 
special  performance.  Members  of 
this  select  group  are  chosen  through 
try-outs  from  all  choral  groups  in 
the  FWCS  senior  highs. 

Every  year  a  guest  conductor  is 
invited  to  come-and  direct  the  group 
for  its  performance.  This  year, 
multi-talented  composer  Jester 
Hairston  has  agreed  to  fulfill  the 
position. 

Hairston.  who  can  be  seen  in 
cameo  roles  in  the  popular  television 


series,  "That's  My  Mamma,"  has 
written  such  songs  as  "Amen"  and 
"Christmas  Gift,"  the  latter  sung 
by  the  Elmhurst  Chorale  during  the 
Christmas  concert. 

In  addition  to  the  Honors  Choir 
this     year,     there     will     be     a 

performance  by  the  massed  choir,  a 

combination    of    the    performing 

concert  choirs  in  the  city. 

This  year's  concert  is  to  be  held  at 

2:30  p.m.   Sunday,   Feb.   9,   in   the 

Wayne    High    School    auditorium. 

Pre-sale  tickets,  now  being  sold  by 

choir  members,  are  $1. 


Seuen  faculty  may  tahe  tx\\ 


Due  to  a  reduction  in  projected 
fall  enrollment,  seven  EHS  faculty 
will  be  transferred  to  other  Fort 
Wayne  community  schools. 

"Of  course  nothing  is  really 
certain,"  explained  Principal 
Horstmeyer,  referring  to  the  usual 
last-minute  switch-around  which 
occurs  in  the  fall  faculty  line  up, 
"but  at  present  it  looks  as  though 
seven  teachers  will  be  transferred." 

Attributing  the  reduction  in 
enrollment  to  various  causes  such  as 
the  lowered  national  population 
growth  rate  and  a  greater  number  of 
housing  facihties  in  other  Fort 
Wayne  school  districts  (causing  a 
migration  of  Fort  Wayne  residents 
to  other   areas),   Mr.    Horstmeyer 


explained     the     piuitiple 
necessity  of  the  transfers. 

'  'The  projected  enrollment  for 
September  of  1974  was  1307 
students.  Only  1223  actually  started 
the  year,  enrollment  now  stands  at 
1081  and  projected  enrollment  for 
next  year  is  1150."  By  these 
standards,  he  explained,  the 
downtown  office  requires  the  release 
of  the  calculated  number  of 
teachers. 

At  the  ratio  of  25  students  per 
teacher,  this  reduction  would 
properly  balance  the  Elmhurst 
numbers. 

The  transferred  faculty  members 
will  be  guaranteed  jobs  within  the 
system.

"All-State    Band    is    a    way    ot 


rewarding  students  who  have 
excelled  in  music.  U  shows  them 
what  high  quality  music  can  be 
produced  by  high  school  students.  It 
also  informs  the  parents  what  their 
children  are  capable  of 
accomplishing,  as  well  as 
entertaining  the  public,"  explained 
Wes, 

"Also  it  will  be  a  great  experience 
to  meet  and  perform  with  other  high 
school  students."  added  Linda. 

Guest  conductor  for  the  band  will 
be  Lt.  Colonel  Dale  Harpham  of  the 
United  States  Marines. 


-Morgan  Wins- 


/*  Senior  Steve  Morgan  received  a 
$50  United  States  Savings  Bond  for 
winning  the  district  level  of  the 
American  Legion  Oratorical 
Contest.  Steve  is  a  member  of  the 
varsity  debate  team.  He  is  the 
winner  of  three  levels  of  debate: 
local  or  high  school  level,  county 
level,  and  the  fourth  district  level, 

"I  will  compete  in  the  zone 
contest  and  if  I  win  there.  I'll  go  on 
to  the  state  finals"  added  Steve. 

The  topic  for  his  speech  was  the 
American     Constitution     and     our 


rights  and  responsibilities  under  the 
Constitution.  "My  speech  discusses 
three  major  crises  in  our  nation's 
history  and  the  three  constitutional 
provisions  enabling  our  continued 
existence  as  a  union,"  Steve 
explained. 

In  the  zone  contest,  Steve  is 
expected  to  give  an  extemporaneous 
speech.  He  will  be  given  a  topic  and 
then  five  minutes  in  which  to 
prepare.  The  topics  are  based  on 
Articles  of  the  Constitution  and 
Amendments.  There  are  six  possible 
subjects  that  he  could  get.  ^  ' 


EHS    students    chosen   to  travel    abroad 


LesUe  Raymer,  Elmhurst  senior, 
has  been  accepted  and  given 
guaranteed  placement  in  the  AFS 
International's  American  Abroad 
program,  and  will  be  spending  10 
weeks  next  summer  in  one  of  50 
countries  that  will  be  decided  upon 
later  by  the  AFS  organization. 

Senior  Pat  Prader  also  has  been 
accepted,  in  her  case  to  the  school 
year  AFS  program,  and  will  go 
abroad  if  a  home  can  be  found  before 
July  15  in  one  of  twenty  countries 
that  fit  her  personal  needs.  If  Pat 
receives  a  guarenteed  placement, 
she  will  then  depart  the  latter  part 
of  next  summer  to  spend  between  11 
and     13     months     in    a     northern 


hemisphere  country,  in  reality  she  is 
one  of  many  on  a  waiting  list  for 
homes  to  be  located  abroad. 

If  this  is  made  possible,  Pat  will 
be  staying  in  a  home  situation  with 
a  "foreign  family.'"  Leslie,  who  is 
definitely  going,  will  not 
neccessarily  be  living  with  a  family 
or  going  to  a  school,  but  has  other 
possibilities  as  to  what  situation  she 
will  be  placed  in.  Not  very  often,  but 
experimentally,  applicants  are 
placed  with  a  group  of  students  in  a 
camp  atmosphere.  Several  years  ago 
a  group  similar  to  this  participated 
in  an  archeological  dig  in  Greece. 

Neither  girl  has  been  told  to  what 
country  she  will  go  but  this  could  be 
learned  as  early  as  April  or  as  late  as 


mid-June  by  Leshe.  and  in  Pat's 
case  up  to  2  weeks  before  the  time 
she  would  be  leaving. 

Often  there  is  a  misconception 
that  Pat  and  Leslie  were  competing 
against  each  other.  They  weren't.  It 
is  also  seldom  that  two  people  from 
the  same  school  are  granted 
placement  in  the  first  round  of 
eliminations. 

When  asked  how  she  felt  about 
her  acceptance  Pat  commented, 
"It's  really  exciting  and  was  a  shock 
that  I  had  been  chosen.  I  think  the 
AFS  program  is  great  because  it 
gives  people  maybe  their  only 
chance  to  travel  abroad  and  to  learn 
about  another  culture  and  its 
hfestyles."

Viet  Nam  MIA  promise  overdue 


No  matter  how  high 
anyone  is,  he  is  not  going  to 
enjoy  "The  Fantastic 
Planet." 

The  animation  and  the 
fictional  creatures 
advertised  in  the 

newspapers  attracted  the 
attention  of  many  'stonies' 
but  they  soon  found  out  that 
the  Pink  Panther  cartoon 
was  the  best  part  of  the 
evening.  Likewise  the 
"new"  sound  system 
(surround  sound)  could  have 
easily  been  surpassed  if  the 
movie-goer  had  stayed  home 
and  listened  to  a  mediocre 
record  on  a  m*^''^cre  stereo. 

Plot 'forme' 

The  animation  was,  at 
first  at  least- in terestmg,  but 
it  eventually  lost  its 
character     as      the     plot 


\/\S\l  OUR 

TOWER 

May  Stone  & 
Bond   Inc. 


"formed,"  The  sparse  story 
line  evolved  around  a  race  of 
huge  beings  from  the  future 
and  their  pet  '0ms'.  which 
resembled  human  beings, 
only  in  a  much  smaller  form. 
These  0ms  were  treated 
much  like  we  treat  our 
domestic  dogs. 

The  action  consisted  of 
the  battles  between  the 
ruling  race  with  their 
strange  weapons  and  the 
rebelling  0ms.  Any 
suspense  there  might  have 
been  was  killed  by  the 
ridiculousness  of  the  other 
forms  of  Ufe  found  on  the 
planet.  Weird  animals  and 
plant  life  had  asinine 
functions  and  killed  in 
absurd  ways. 

The  overall  impression  ol 
the  show  was  that  the 
screen-writer  finally  decided 
that  the  monotony  had 
continued  long  enough  and 
so  tacked  on  a  five-second 
conclusion.  From  what  was 
shown,  the  viewer  could  only 
infer  that  out  of  thin  blue  air 
the  rulers  and  the  0ms 
suddenly  decided  to  stop 
fighting. 


by  Leslie  Reymer 

Last  Monday.  Jan.  27,  marked 
the  second  anniversary  of  the 
signing  of  the  Vietnam  peace 
treaty.  On  several  days  this  month 
and  next.  aU  of  the  562  returned 
American  ex-POWs  will  celebrate 
the  beginning  of  their  third  year 
home  in  the  United  States. 

Three  years  ago,  there  was 
probably  not  one  American  who 
was  not  aware  of  the  POW  MIA 
situation.  It  is  somehow  doubtful 
that  those  same  "informed" 
Americans  are  aware  that  over 
1300  men  are  still  not  accounted 
for- 

Half  truths 

One  of  the  major  provisions  of 
the  Vietnamese  peace  treaty  was  a 
complete  release  of  all  prisoners  of 
war  held  in  Southeast  Asia,  and  a 
"list  of  all  men  held  captive  to  be 
released  upon  signing  the 
agreement."  This  list  was  given  to 
us  ...  with  several  mistakes  and 
untruths  The  major  discrepancy  in 
this  inaccurate  and  incomplete  list 
is  the  absence  of  the  names  of  53 
men  who  at  one  time  were  known  to 
have  been  captured.  These  men. 
through  news  clips,  photographs, 
or  letters  home  have  been  proven 
beyond  any  reasonable  doubt  to 
have  been  held  prisoner  by  the 
North  Vietnamese  at  one  time. 

Turning     back     the     pages     of 
history,  we  fmd  a  similar  situation 


resulted  from  the  Korean  War 
treaty.  Several  of  the  confirmed 
POW's  were  not  ever  returned  to 
U.S.  soil.  According  to  the  State 
Department,  the  U.S.  government 
is  still  negotiating  with  the  North 
Koreans  to  obtain  information  on 
the  fate  of  these  men. 

"Who  cares?" 

The  futility  of  this  situation  is 
obvious  -  with  the  majority  of  the 
American  public  not  being 
informed,  or  interested,  it's  almost 
inevitable  that  a  "who  cares" 
attitude  will  soon  prevail. 

According  to  the  provisions  of 
the  Geneva  Convention,  after  the 
signing  of  the  Vietnam  peace 
treaty,  some  international,  non- 
political  organization  should  have 
been  allowed  to  make  a  full 
inspection  of  all  prison  camps.  This 
was  not  the  case. 

Mentally  and  or  physically 
broken  men  are  very  hkely  still  in 
Southeast  Asia  waiting,  hoping  to 
be  released  -  hoping  that  someone 
"back  home"  is  still  working  to 
secure  their  freedom. 

Status  changed 

The  entire  list  released  by  the 
North  Vietnamese  in  January  of 
1973  included  555  returning 
POW's,  30  returning  civilians,  as 
well  as  55  servicemen  and  13 
civilians  who  died  in  captivity. 

The  status  of  the  remaining  men. 
in   virtually   every   case,   whether 


originally  Prisoner  of  War  or 
Missing  in  Action  has  been 
changed  to  PFOD,  Presumptive 
Finding  of  Death-  We  must  not  let 
this  be  an  admission  of  defeat!  Of 
course  we  cannot,  expect  an 
account  be  made  of  every  single 
missing  soldier  -  but  what  about 
the  53  known,  living  POW's  that 
were  not  even  mentioned  on  the 
"complete"  list  given  to  us  by  the 
North  Vietnamese?  We  owe  it  to 
those  men  and  an  unknown 
additional  number  to  educate 
ourselves  to  the  situation  and  make 
a  point  of  learning  their  exact 
whereabouts. 

This  is  no  longer  a  political  issue! 
We  must  all  understand  the 
gravity  of  the  situation  and  not 
repeat  our  mistakes  which  followed 
the  Korean  War.  Morally;  we 
cannot  let  the  lives  of  these  men 
remain  a  matter  of  question.  We  as 
Americans  and  as  human  beings 
must  influence  each  other  and  our 
legislators  to  act  now,  before  these 
men  are  totally  forgotten

Audiences  need 

To  the  Editor; 

On  Monday,  Jan.  27,  Elmhurst 
students  had  the  pleasure  of 
■■listening"  to  Cliff  Cozzuli,  in  an 
assembly  about  the  guitar. 

If  Mr.  Cozzuli's  performance 
would  have  been  better,  (maybe  he 
should  have  stuck  to 
tnstrumentals),  the  students  might 
have  behaved  better.  But  Mr. 
Cozzuli's  performance  was  no 
excuse  for  the  way  the  student  body 
acted. 

Personally,  I  was  embarrassed  for 
both  Mr.  Cozzuli,  who  was  down 
there  alone,  and  for  the  student 
body,  who  once  again  showed  their 
knack  for  not  acting  like  adults. 

The  program  was  selected  last 
year  from  a  brochure  sent  to 
Elmhurst.  It  was  a  hit  and  miss 
attempt.  Unfortunately  this  one 
missed,  but  it  wasn't  the  first  time 
Ehnhurst  audiences  have  acted  rude 
to  people  who  have  come  here. 

These  programs  are  supposed  to 
end  some  of  the  monotony  of  the 
school  day,  by  entertaining  and  at 
the  same  time  being  somewhat 
educational;  however,  if  the 
students  can't  show  some  restraint 
these  programs  might  be  better  off 
being  cancelled. 

On  the  other  hand,  the 
administration  could  look  into  the 


improving 

progrEuns  a  Httle  more  carefully  to 
be  sure  to  get  a  program  that 
interests  and  keeps  the  attention  of 
the  majority  of  the  students. 


Rotorions:  Con  girls  fill  fhe  role? 


To  the  Editor: 

As  a  senior  here  at  Elmhurst  I 
have  been  here  to  see  a  large  change 
in  Elmhurst.  I  feel  most  of  the  credit 
for  Elmhurst's  change  goes  to  Mr. 
Horstmeyer.  Whether  Elmhurst 
students  realize  it  or  not  Mr. 
Horstmeyer 's  coming  to  Elmhurst 
has  made  a  huge  mark  in  Elmhurst 
history.  Last  year  it  was  as  if  the 
school  came  alive,  spirit  sparked 
every  student.  '73  grads  were 
surprised  to  see  his  spirit. 

In  our  pep  session  a  few  weeks 
ago,  Mr.  Horstmeyer  spoke  on 
school  spirit.  This  topic  seemed  to 
be  a  Httle  worn  out  and  hard  to  find 
something  new  to  talk  about,  yet 
Mr.  Horstmeyer  came  up  with  a  new 
idea  and  did  a  good  job  of  it. 

Many  times  a  principal  does  so 
much  for  a  school  and  receives  no 
recognition  for  this  good  work.  I  am 
sure  many  other  Elmhurst  students 
are  with  me  in  support  for  Mr. 
Horstmeyer. 

Marie  Zacher 


Once  a  month,  each  city  high 
school  chooses  a  member  of  the 
senior  class  to  represent  it  as  Junior 
Rotarian.  But  what  is  a  Junior 
Rotarian?  And  for  that  matter,  what 
is  the  Rotary  Club? 

The  Rotary  Club  is  a  civic-minded 
organization  made  up  of  Fort 
Wayne  business  and  professional 
men.  They  sponsor  a  program  which 
invites  students  to  meet  and  eat 
lunch  with  them  every  Monday 
during  the  school  year.  These 
students  are  known  as  Student  (or 
Junior)  Rotarians,  and  are  usually 
chosen  by  the  principal,  but  in 
Elmhurst's  case,  Mr.  William 
Geyer,  dean  of  boys,  handles  the  job 
of  choosing  each  month's  Rotarian. 

No  girls  allowed 

For  close  to  twenty  years,  Mr, 
Geyer  has  been  choosing  the 
students  to  represent  Elmhurst  at 
these  luncheons.  And  he,  following 
the  pattern  of  every  other  city  high 
school,  has  never  chosen  a  girl. 

The  consensus  over  the  years  has 
been  that  a  girl  would  feel  out  of 
place  among  200  men.  That  is  all 
well  and  good,  but  it  is  the  opinion 
of  men  ■-  not  women. 

But  now  for  the  first  time,  the 
female  of  the  species  has  broken 
through    the    previously    all-male 


barrier  and  has  been  sent  as  Junior 
Rotarian.  Two  of  the  schools  that 
have  sent  female  representatives  are 
South  Side  and  Wayne. 

No  objections 

The  Junior  Rotarian  program 
offers  high  school  students  a  chance 
to  meet  businessmen  in  a 
professional  field  that  interests 
them,  make  business  contacts  which 
may  lead  to  summer  employment, 
and  to  see  if  they  really  like  their 
chosen  field. 

The  Rotary  Club  has  no 
objections  to  female  Junior 
Rotarians.  With  all  the  changing 
views  and  roles,  high  school  girls 
could  benefit  from  this  program 
also.  Women  are  becoming  more  and 
more  involved  in  business. 

The  owner  of  Fort  Wayne 
Newspapers,  Inc.,  Helene  Follinger, 
is  a  woman.  She  is  also  a  member  of 
the  board  of  General  Telephone  of 
Indiana  and  has  been  named  as  one 
of  the  ten  most  powerful  women  in 
America. 

Elmhurst  should  be  one  of  the 
schools  that  help  bring  on 
constructive  change  in  Fort  Wayne. 
By  sending  female  representatives, 
Elmhurst  could  be  helping  its 
female  students,  the  Rotary  Club, 
and  the  future  of  Fort  Wayne 
business.

Marcia  congenial 

Elmhurst  senior  Marcia  Starks 
was  a  contestant  in  the  Miss  Black 
Fort  Wayne  pageant,  Sat  ndry, 
Feb.  15.  She  had  the  honor  of  being 
noted  Miss  Congeniality  and 
recef^eda  standing  ovation. 

Marcia  first  became  involved  in 
the  pageant  when  T.V,  215  Fran 
Walker,  who  was  scouting  for 
participants  in  the  contest,  asked 
her  if  she  would  be  interested  in 
entering.  To  enter  Marcia  had  to  fill 
out  an  application,  turn  in  a  picture 
of  herself,  give  her  birth  certificate, 
and  present  a  statement  from 
Principal  Horstmeyer  saying  she 
would  graduate  in  June  of  1975. 

"All  I  can  really  say  is  that  I'm  a 
happy  black  woman.  Being  a 
contestant  in  Miss  Black  Fort 
Wayne  Pageant  was  a  great  honor 
and  something  to  be  proud  of," 
commented  Marcia, 

Many  hours  of  time  went  into  the 
pageant.  Practice  began  Jan.  12  to 
prepare  for  the  parade  which  was  an 
introduction  of  all  eleven  girls,  a 
routine  that  everyone  was  involved 
in,  bathing  suit  competition,  the 
individual  talent  segment  of  the 
pageant,  the  evening  gowns,  and  the 
projection  questions. 

Each  contestant  had  a  sponsor. 
Marcia  was  sponsored  by 
Magnovox,  who  contributed  S50 
t(ward  the  first  place  scholarship.

player  Franklin  Powers,  "There  was  really 
good  crowd  action,  I  wouldn't  mind  playing 
here  again  sometime  soon."

the  many  students  greatly  in  favor  of  the 
group's  return.  "It  was  different,  from  any

ar-und." 


Artists  honored 


Proving  their  talent  in  the  field  of  art.  two 
Elmhurst  students  have  been  given  Gold 
Key  Awards  in  the  Scholastic  Publishing

State  Park  of  Sugar  Creek,  The  entry  was  in 
the  category  of  straight  black  and  white,

won  was  because  of  its  highlights  ...  the 
contrast  between  black  and  white  "  He  went 
on  to  say,  "I  didn't  think  anything  would  win 
and  when  I  found  out  one  did  win  I  thought  it

The  Elmhurst  reserve  wrestling  team 
remains  undefeated  after  trouncing 
Homestead  15-9.  The  reserve  team  is  now  10-0- 
1  for  the  year. 

The  team  recently  participated  in  the 
reserve  tournament  at  North  Side.  In  all  there 
were  eight  teams  participating,  First  place 
winners  were  sophomore  Dave  Kessel,  126 
pounds;  sophomore  Nelson  Almond.  145;  and 
senior  Gary  Imel,  heavyweight. 

Mr.  Jim  Welbom,  head  wrestling  coach, 
states.  "The  reserve  team  has  good  potential 
and  has  improved  a  lot."  One  factor  that  has 
played    an    important    role   in    the    reserves' 


success  is  the  sophomores.  Team  standouts  are 
Nelson  Almond  11-0,  Dan  Heckley  9-1.  Pat 
Patten  6-1.  Dave  Kessel  7-1,  and  Jeff  Shifflett 
7-1.  Jeff  also  placed  first  in  the  Elmhurst  take- 
down tournament. 

Need  wrestlers 

Coach  Welbom  stated  also  that  the  reserve 
team  needs  wrestlers  in  the  weight  class  from 
98  to  1 19  pounds.  This  has  turned  out  to  be  one 
of  the  main  handicaps  for  this  years  team. 

Other  wrestlers  on  the  reserve  team  are  as 
follows:  Mike  Darby,  119;  Bruce  Marks,  132; 
Dave  Pressler,  138;  Bill  McCombs,  167;  and 
TroiLee,  167. 

The  reserves  practice  with  the  varsity  in  the 
new  athletic  building.  This  has  definitely 
helped  the  reserves  because  they  learn  new 
holds  and  tips  from  the  varsity  men  as  well  as 
Coaches  Welborn,  Horn,  and  Lambert. 
They  will  continue  to  practice  until  sectionals 
(Feb.  6-8).  This  also  enables  the  varsity  squad 
to  have  a  variety  of  opponents  to  "practice" 
with. 

Keep  in  condition 

The  reserve  record  of  10-0-1  comes  close  to  a 
previous  years  high  of  13-0.  Approximately 
six  reserves  have  seen  varsity  action  and  have 
come  through  fairly  well.  Reasons  for  the 
substitutions  vary  from  the  varsity  man  being 
overweight  to  one  being  injured.  A  large 
percentage  of  the  reserves  will  become 
permanent  varsity  members  next  year.  Until 
then,  weight-lifting,  dieting,  and  the  summer 
P.E.  course  should  keep  the  reserve  squad  in 
good  condition

Politics  may  be  an  unpopular  topic  to 
some  people,  but  to  senior  Mary  R  id,  it 
offers  an  interesting  experience  witl.  the 
compUcated  workings  of  government-  Mary 
is  taking  part  in  a  one-week  government 
seminar  titled  "A  Presidential  Class  Room 
for  Young  Americans"'  March  15-22  in 
Washington  .DC. 

While  attending  this  seminar,  Mary, 
daughter  of  Mr  and  Mrs.  Clarence  W.  Read. 
3821  West  State  Blvd..  will  have  a  cliance  to 
liear  several  government  officials  and 
question  them.  She  will  be  concerned  with 
the  three  main  branches  of  government, 
ivhich  are  Ifor  those  who  haven't  had  the 
benefits  of  Mr.  Werling's  history  classl  the 
.-xecotive.  judicial  and  legislative  branches 


Help  comes  to  Mary 

This  program  does  cost  money,  and 
tuition  for  one  week  runs  about  S2I0. 
excluding  transportation.  Luckily.  Mary  has 
had  help  from  several  directions,  which  is 
gratefully  accepted.  She  received  S105  from  a 
student  aid  fund,  fmanc.ng  half  of  the  tuition 
tee  The  other  half  is  being  supplied  by  her 
parents.  In  addition.  Mary  has  gained  the 
sponsorship  of  the  Kekionga  Business  and 
Professional  Women's  Club,  which  is  paying 
for  Mary's  air  fare  to  the  seminar. 

Mary  became  interested  in  government  on 
a  4-H  Club  trip  last  summer.  caUed 
Citizenship  Short  Course.  This  was  basically 
a  tour  of  Washington.  DC.  and  was  not  as 
extensive  as  her  upcoming  seminar.  Mary 
remarked.  "1  was  interested  in  being 
mvolved  with  senators,  congressmen,  and 
other     national    officials."     However,     she 


doesn't    think   she   will   actively   pursue   a 
political  career. 

Mary  was  a  page  three  years  for  Mr-  John 
Sinks,  and  her  government  teacher.  Mr. 
Richard  Mattix.  has  encouraged  her  by 
supplying  useful  government  books  and 
Supreme  Court  information.  She  originally 
came  in  contact  with  the  program  through 
Mr.  Sinks. 

The  week  includes  many  meetings  and 
discussions  with  administration  officials, 
foreign  dignitaries,  and  representatives  of

The  Elmhurst  varsity 
grapplers  tied  Homestead 
27-27  on  Jan.  28,  making  the 
Trojan  record  5-5-1. 
According  to  Coach  Jim 
Welborn,  the  team  has 
improved  greatly  since  the 
start  of  the  season.  Items  to 
keep  in  mind  are:  l)Twenty 
different  wrestlers  have  seen 
varsity  action  as  compared 
to  13  on  most  teams;  21 
Injuries  have  kept  approx- 
imately six  wrestlers  from 
completing  the  season ; 
3)  Sickness  has  played  its 
part  also  by  keeping 
different  grapplers  from 
meets. 
Sectionals  begin 

The  Trojans  will  travel  to 
New  Haven  tomorrow  and 
Saturday  to  compete  in 
sectionals.  According  to 
team  members,  the  team 
goal  at  the  beginning  of  the 
year  was  to  win  them.  One  of 
the  most  important  things 
needed  to  win  sectionals  is 
to  have  individual  sectional 
champions,  which  Elmhurst 
could  have.  Seniors  Dave 
Beyer,  Tim  Freeman.  Jim 
Norton  and  Terry  Emmons 
evidently  have  the  potential 


to  win.  as  three  of  the  four 
have  won  in  the  Carmel 
tournament.  The  other  one 
placed  fourth  against  stiff 
competition.  Last  year's 
sectional  saw  Elmhurst 
leading  the  first  round,  but 
Snider  and  Wayne  ended  up 
tying  the  second. 

"Best  sport" 

Coach  Welborn  regards 
wrestling  as,  "By  far  the 
best  sport."'  Coach  Welborn 
wrestled  in  high  school  and 
college,  then  came  to 
Elmhurst  to  coach  seven 
years  ago.  Since  then  he  has 


helped  Elmhurst  turn  out 
successful  wrestles  and 
successful  wrestling  teams. 
Some  of  the  records  set 
under  Coach  Welborn  are: 
fastest  pin,  11  seconds; 
most  career  pins.  29;  career 
victories .  48 ;  and  highest 
finish  at  state,  second. 

Assisting  Mr.  Welborn 
this  year  are  Mr.  Jim 
Lambert  and  Mr.  Bob  Horn, 
both  of  whom  worked  with 
him  last  year.  Mr.  Horn  is 
also  coaching  at  Kekionga 
Junior  High  in  order  to  keep 
a  steady  flow  of  rookies 
coming  in. 


Elmhurst  senior  Dave 
Boyer  is  one  of  two  wrestlers 
in  the  city  who  still  remain 
undefeated. 

Dave  has  been  wrestling 
since  the  ninth  grade,  and 
according  to  Coach 
Welborn,  he  has  improved 
"a  lot". 

Last  year  he  came  in  third 
in  sectionals.  So  far  this  year 
Dave  has  compiled  a  13-0 
record.  If  his  plans  of  going 
for  an  undefeated  season 
and  state  championship 
come  through,  they  would 
give  him  an  overall  record  of 
23-0,  just  three  wins  short  of 
the  school  record  of  26-0.

Monday  l)egan  a  six  da,v 
series  of  -^activities  at 
Elmhurst  in 
acknowledgement  of  Blaclt 
History  Week.  The 
background  was  set  by 
posters  and  bulletin  boards 
in  the  halls  and 
announcements  over  the 
P.A.  system. 

Afro-American       Club 
members  and  other  students 
worked  to  make  the  student 
body  aware  of  Black  History 
Week.  Drawings  of  famous 
black  people  were  made  and 
hung  to  give  information  on 
the    historical    figures    the 
week  honors:  Richard  Allen, 
religious    leader;     Robert 
Abbott,     journalist:     Ira 
Aldridge,      actor;      Mary 
Bethune,  educator;  Scott 
Joplin,  jazz  composer  and 
musician;      and      Charles 
Spaulding,  business  pioneer, 
were      depicted      on      the 
cafeteria  windows. 

The  usually  blank  bulletin 
boards  throughout  the 
building  took  on  color  and 
meaning  when  dedicated  to 
various  subjects  related  to 
black  history.  There  were 
tributes   to   Martin    Luther 


King  and  Duke  Ellington, 
collages  of  nationally  known 
sports  figures  and  models, 
and  brief  listings  of 
accomplishments  by  black 
people  of  history  such  as 
Booker  T.  Washington, 
Marian  Anderson,  and  Roy 
Wilkins. 

Elmhurst  continued  its 
education  on  black  history 
every  morning  when  a  black 
figure  in  history  was  talked 
about  over  the  P.A. 
Abolitionists  Harriet 
Tubman  and  Frederick 
Douglass,  inventor  Lewis 
Latimer,  and  business 
executive  Maggie  Lena 
Walker  were  reported  on 
during  the  week. 


K^sr 


ONE  OF  THE  BULLETIN 
BOARDS  PUT  UP  FOR  BLACK 
HISTOR  Y  WEEK  was  in  the  social 
studies    hall. 


Wednesday-Black 
History  Week  brought 
entertainment  to 
Elmhurst  during  an 
hour-long  morning 
assembly. 

The  program  began 
with  a  modern  dance 
routine  to  the  song 
"Mr,  Bojangles"  done 
by  Andrea  Williams. 

Then      the      group 
"Society"  came  on.  For 
the  first  few  pieces,  the 
gym  was  nearly  silent 
as        the        audience 
concentrated         on 
listening.  By  about  the 
fourth  number  "I  Feel 
Sanctified",     however, 
many     of     the     black 
students   on   the   floor 
stood     up     to     dance. 
Eventually,        during 
'"Skin    Tight",    they 
were  joined  by  just  as 
many   white  students. 
The  dancing   went  on 
through       the       last 
number  at  the  end  of 
which  a  chant  went  up 
for  more. 

Saturday  -  February 
22,  the  play,  "In  White 
America"      will      be 


presented  in  the 
Elmhurst  gym.  The 
production  is  being 
directed  by  Mr.  Don 
Goss  who  also  has  a 
part  in  the  play.  The 
rest  of  the  cast  is  made 
up  of  members  of  the 
community.  Tom 
Schafer,  Lee  W.  Butler 
Jr.,  Phillip 

Stubblefield,  Patty 
Martone,  Bernice  Irby 
and  Beth  Miller  form 
the  remainder  of  the 
seven  person  team. 

The*  play  traces  the 
black  man's 

development  in 
America's  white 
society.  The  actors 
move  from  scene  to 
scene  in  history, 
changing  from 
important  political 
figures  to  the  coutry's 
common  people. 
Slaves,  rebels,  yanks 
and  presidents  are  all 
represented. 

Throughout  the 
drama,  Beth  Miller 
accompanies  bits  of 
songs  reflecting  the 
attitudes  of  different 
eras.

a  lot  different  from  the  one  of 
today.  The  changes  do  not  appear 
only  in  format  end  style,  but  in 
content,  the  Elmhurst  the 
reporters  were  writing  about  then 
bears  little  resemblance  to  the 
Elmhurst  four  decades  later.

;«weet  Young  Thing:  Ups  that

Ditto:  Your  lips? 

Sweet  Young  Thing;  No,  my 
liquor. 

This  joke  was  one  of  the  Trojan 


of  clubs  and  each  sponsored  a 
larger  number  of  activities.  The 
Glee  Club  performed  a  contata.  The 
Girls'  Athletic  Association  had  a 
Sports  Rumba  The  art  club.  The 
Palette  and  Brush,  decorated  and 
held  a  holiday  dance,  the  Industrial 
Arts  Club  members  participated  in 
an  eating  contest  and  the  Sewing 
Club  took  a  field  trip  to  the  General 
Hosiery  Mill.  There  were  physics, 
chemistry,  government  and  speech 
clubs.  A  1935  club  named 
Photoplay  reviewed  movies  such  as 
"David  Copperfield"  and  "Grand 
Old  Girl"  which  were  shown  at  the 
Bmboydand  Paramount  theaters. 

The  sports  department  included 
Softball  and  riflery  teams,  and 
girls'  basketball  was  not  new; 
Elmhurst  had  the  Trojanettes. 
Both  the  male  and  female 
basketball  teams  played  a  little 
different  kind  of  game.  Scores 
frequented  the  range  of  12-13  and 
28-23,  And,  of  course,  the  rivals 
were  not  in  Fort  Wayne.  Most 
baskets  were  made  in  the  gyms  of 
Hoagland,  Harlan,  Huntertown, 
New  Haven.  Areola,  Leo,  and 
Monroe  ville. 

Gossip  columns  popular 

The  Advance  pages  of  1935  were 
covered  with  regular  columns.  "T- 
R-l-D"  (try  reading  it  backwards! 
was  a  gossip-type  column  in  letter 
form  which  was  usually  forwarded 
with  the  greeting,  'Hi  Gang". 
"Alumni  News"         printed 

paragraphs  on  Elmhurst  graduates 
-  who  got  married,  who  moved  out 
of  town,  who  went  to  college,  and 
who^ot  jobs.  "The  Book  Comer" 


reviewed  novels  such  as  The  Young 
Revolutionist  by  Pearl  S.  Buck. 

Long  fiction  stories  involving 
Elmhurst  students  took  up  much 
of  the  inside  pages.  One  column 
gave  the  high  scores  from  the 
typing  classes  and  another,  "Quote 
and  Unquote",  gave  detailed 
accounts  of  the  debate  team's 
activities  and  its  members'  actions. 
"Bella's  Box"  printed  fabricated 
questions  and  answers  such  as.  "1 
bumped  my  crazy  bone,  what 
should  I  do?"  "Part  your  hair  on 
the  other  side  and  the  bump  won't 
show". 

Correct  skirt  lengths 

Boys  dress  was  treated  in  "Pants 
Parade"  while  feminine  attire  got 
attention  in  "Favorite  Fashions", 
The  writer  of  this  column  offered 
gift  ideas.  A  girlfriend  then  appar- 


ently received  black  and  red  com- 
pacts and  initialed  handkerchiefs. 
The  boyfriend  "would  love  to  re- 
ceive one  of  those  beautiful  white 
silk  handkerchiefs,  a  scarf,  or  a  pair 
of  leather  gloves."  Girls'  fashions 
consisted  of  Angora  and  rabbit  hair 
dresses  and  tarns  adorned  with 
fluffed  rabbit  tails.  The  correct 
length  for  skirts  was  II  or  12 
inches  from  the  floor. 

A  column  entitled  "Society" 
carried  all  the  latest  on  where  the 
popular  people  spent  their 
vacations,  what  their  parties  wers 
like,  and  who  attended  them  A 
sample  New  Year's  Party,  given  b\ 
two  girls,  was  quite  a  long  affoii

dancing  foLowed  by  a  midnight 
lunch.  At  four  in  the  morning,  the 
party-goers  motored  to  another 
household  for  a  breakfast. 


THE  BASKETBALL  PLA  YERS  OF  1935  were  different  in  appearand 

and  in  game  from  the  Trojans  of  1975  The  scores  from  interscholastic  com-

THE  SIX-MEMBER  TEAM  GOES 
n'EH  THE  PARTS  during  one  of  the 
ijy  night  practices. 


Tuesday  Elmhurst  opened  its 
doors  to  black  members  of  the 
community  engaged  in  various 
professions.  Nineteen  of  these 
people  came  in  and  spoke  to 
classes  during  the  first  three 
periods  of  the  day- 
Visiting  art  classes  was  Mr. 
Willie  Welch,  an  artist  in 
Magnavox's  illustration 
department.  In  his  specific  field, 
Mr.  Welch  draws  machinery  for 
a  government  paid  job.  He  has 
been  offered  different  art- 
related  positions,  most  of  them 
t€chnical. 

Mr.  Welch  has  been  deeply 
interested  in  art  since  he  was 
about  16  or  17,  He  went  to  a  two- 
year  commercial  art  school,  but 
is  basically  a  self-taught  artist. 
Outside  of  his  work,  Mr.  Welch 
paints  approximately  three 
hours  a  day  and  is  now 
preparing  for  a  possible  one- 
man  show  in  Fort  Wayne. 

Beautician  speaks 

Toting  her  suitcase  filled  with 
hairbrushes,  combs,  curlers, 
creams  and  rinses,  Ms.  Linda 
Davis  came  before  a  group  of 
girls  from  Mr.  Robert  Horn's, 
Mrs.  Roma  Jean  Bradburn's, 
Miss  Sharon  Dietrich's,  and 
Mrs,  Susan  Owen's  classes.  Ms. 
Davis  is  a  beautician  with  the 


Redwood  Salon  and  answered 
questions  on  hair  care,  from 
split  ends  to  home  permanents. 

Junior  Holly  Greeno,  a 
member  of  the  audience, 
volunteered  to  have  her  hair 
styled.  Ms.  Davis  decided  to  do 
a  cut.  She  stuck  to  the  same 
basic  style  but  shortened  the 
length  a  bit,  thinned  the  hair, 
and  gave  Holly  bangs.  Holly 
commented  later.  "I  like  it.  It's 
all  right." 
Ms.  Walker  talks  to  journalists 

Ms.  Fran  Walker,  from 
television  station  WPTA,  gave 
some  of  her  time  to  journaUsm 
students.  She  told  about  her 
past  jobs  and  the  work  she  is 
now  doing.  Ms.  Walker 
described  her  involvement  in 
television  as  accidental. 

She  started  out  as  just  a 
receptionist         and  then 

progressed  through  different 
local  television  jobs.  She  at  one 
time  did  five  minute  spots  on 
■'Community  Calendar  '  and 
then  co-hosted  a  show  with 
Dann  Nolan.  From  there,  she 
got  her  own  program,  "The 
Fran  Walker  Show".  She  has 
been  branching  out  into 
reporting  and  has  done  a  five 
part  feature  on  unsolved  crimes 


in  the  inner  city  concerning 
child  molesting  and  murder.  She 
enjoys  doing  features  and  would 
like  to  do  another  five-part  on 


hitch-hiking. 

Many  other  subjects  and 
careers  were  touched  upon 
during  the   seminars  Tuesday. 


/  editorial: 

Going  by  the  attitudes 
expressed  by  some 
Elmhurst  students  in 
regard  to  Black  History 
Week,  the  reason  behind 
its  establishment  has 
either  been  lost  or 
forgotten. 

Since,  until  recently, 
most  history  books  and 
history  classes  have  been 
oriented  toward  white 
America's     development. 


a  need  to 
them  with 
on  black 
the     United 


there  was 
supplement 
something 
history  in 
States. 

So  the  idea  behind 
Black  History  Week  is  to 
educate-to  educate  both 
blacks  and  whites. 
Organizations  such  as  the 
Afro-American  Club  take 
the  initiative  in 

scheduling   activities   for 


Black  History  Week,  not 
a?  a  social  event  for 
themselves,  but  as 
something  for  all 
students  to  participate  in. 
And  there  is  some  white 
involvement  from  a  very 
few  student  volunteers, 
members  of  the 

administration,  and 
student  council  officers. 

Career  day  brought  in 
speakers  representing 
careers  that  any  student 
might  be  interested  in. 
They  talked  to  classes 
made  up  of  blacks  and 
whites.  This  was  certainly 
a  good  effort  to  get  whites 
involved.  Hopefully 
they  ve  accepted  it  as 
such  and  will  go  beyond 
accepting  and  open 
themselves  up  to  learning 
about  the  history  and 
backgrounds  of  races 
other  than  their  own 


System 
giues  warning 

Did  you  ever  wonder  what  would 
happen  if  there  ever  were  to  be  an 
emergency  in  or  around  Elmhurst 
High  School?  How  would  anyone 
know  if  a  tornado  was  in  the  area? 

The  answer  lies  in  a  little  box-like 
object  behind  Mr.  Douglass 
Spencer's  desk.  This  machine  is  kept 
running  to  receive  any  signals  sent 
from  a  central  office.  The  signal 
would  inform  the  listener  of  any 
danger  -  from  a  tornado  to  a  broken 
water  main.  It  doesn't  come  through 
in  code,  but  in  English,  and  it  only 
takes  a  few  seconds  to  receive. 

After  the  signal  is  received,  one  of 
several  things  might  take  place.  If 
there  is  enough  time,  the  buses 
would  be  dispatched  and  students 
would  be  sent  home. 

If  there  isn't  enough  time, 
students  and  faculty  would  be 
directed  to  the  'tunnels'  under  the 
building.  In  these  basement 
■corridors  exist  emergency  supplies 
to  last  for  many  days.  Included  are 
Candy  bars,  blankets,  water,  dried 
biscuits,  dried  foods,  and  first  aid 
''its.  Of  course,  if  the  disaster  were 
to  keep  people  underground  for  a 
gi'eat  amount  of  time,  these  supplies 
"'ould  be  rationed  according  to  the 
"^eed  and  the  number  of  persons 
involved. 


by  Marilynn  Scherer 

What  do  you  suppose 
$285,000  would  buy  you 
today?  A  child's  sandbox  ... 
a  shopping  spree  for  3  whole 
bags  of  groceries  ...  or 
maybe  a  place  in  former 
President  Nixon's  heart? 

Though  these  are  all 
timely  answers,  in  1931, 
good  ol'  Elmhurst  High  was 
built  for  $285,000  (less 
interest  and  tax,  of  course). 

Forty-four  years  ago, 
Elmhurst  High  School 
became  both  a  reality  and 
the  alma  mater  for  28 
seniors.  A  total  of  11 
teachers  and  one  principal 
were  hired  to  work  in  the 
building  which  housed  10 
classrooms  and  what  is 
today  the  girls'  gym. 

The  original  building  was 
quite  small;  it  included  the 
southeast  portion  of  the 
present  structure,  rooms 
101-106  and  upstairs  rooms 
202-212.  Lunches  were 
served  through  a  window, 
where  the  recognition  case 
now  stands.  Prices  for  such 
items  as  soup,  sandwiches  or 
pie  ran  at  5  cents  apiece. 
Elmhurst  boasts  two  teams 

Even  as  a  new  school, 
Ehnhurst  offered  all  of  the 
courses  and  extra-curricular 


activities  that  were  common 
to  schools  at  that  time. 
Basketball  was  the  only 
inter  scholastic  varsity  sport 
-  EHS  had  both  a  boys'  and 
a  girls' team. 

Because  the  small  gym 
(now  upstairs  girls')  was  too 
small  to  accommodate  for 
regulation  games,  Elmhurst 
used  the  gym  at  Central 
High  School. 

The  girls'  team,  at  that 
time,  played  the  prelirairdry 
games.  The  price  of  tickets 
for  interscholastic  sport  was 
25  cents  for  adults,  and  15 
cents  for  students.  The  price 
for  student  tickets  today 
has  only  moved  one  decimal 
point  to  the  right. 
Growth  begins 

In  1941,  Ehnhurst  added 
eight  classrooms,  a  kitchen, 
and  a  dining  room.  This 
addition  was  to 

accommodate  the  rapid 
growth  in  the  student 
population. 

The  plans  for  Elmhurst 
included  a  gym  -  larger  than 
that  of  North  Side. 
Unfortunately  the  ideas  for 
the  gym  were  canceled  by 
the  federal  government ; 
World  War  II  began 
simultaneously . 

In  1957,  a  major  addition 
gave    Elmhurst    new    shop  "■ 


da 


ys 


early 
of 


facilities,  a  band  room,  three 
new  classrooms,  an  office 
suite,  and  a  modern 
gymnasium. 

Before  this  addition,  the 
band  practiced  in  rooms  228 
and  230,  the  shop  room  had 
been  what  is  now  the 
Journalism  room,  and  Mr. 
Horstmeyer's  present  office 
was  at  one  time  a  record 
keeping  room.  -r  I 

Approximately  where  the   '  '  '  ^ 
study  hall  is  now  (room  166) 
was  at  one  time  the  location 
for  dirt  termis  courts.  .        . 

Recent    expansions   include     f  |  ppj  H  U  f  S  t 

Football  came  to 
Elmhurst  in  1957;  the 
team's  first  coach  was  Mr. 
Eldon  Stoops.  The  coach  for 
the  basketball  team,  before 
Mr.  Ken  Eytcheson,  was 
Mr.  BUI  Geyer. 

In  1965,  a  1.75  million 
dollar  addition  provided  13 
more  classrooms,  a  new 
dining  room  and  kitchen, 
and  enlargement  of  the 
library,  home  economics 
facilities,  a  vocal  music 
room,  and  a  reading  lab. 

These  additions,  plus  the 
sport  facility  additions 
recently,  have  made  the 
Elmhurst  school  -  the 
building  Trojans  attend 
today.

Plays  to  be  given 

Other  scheduled  events  are  plays 
by  the  Civic  Theatre  and  Civic 
You  theatre,  Purdue- Indiana 
Theatre  and  the  First  Presbyterian 
Theatre,  art  exhibits  in  the 
Performing  Arts  Center  and  an  art 
auction,  puppet  shows  for  children 
and  a  painting  tent  for  the  children 
also. 

All  in  all,  the  week  should  give  the 
Fort  Wayne  area  an  opportunity  to 
enjoy  themselves  and  also  increase 
their  cultural  awareness. 


Haggard    joins    Long    Rifles 


"Laws  like  the  gun  control,  if 
passed,  would  simply  end  our  club 
all  together,"  stated  sophomore 
Kerry  Haggard.  Kerry's  family, 
along  with  approximately  fifty  other 
families,  belong  to  a  club-like  group 
called  the  Kekionga  Long  Rifles. 

The  Long  Rifles  meet  the  first 
Saturday  of  every  month  at  the 
Broadway  Christian  Church  in  Fort 
Wayne.  The  club's  main  purpose  for 
its  members  is  "hobby  or 
enjoyment,"  but  for  an  interested 
public,  the  club  provides  a  lot  more. 

Give  demonstrations 
"We  spend  some  of  our  time 
giving  demonstrations  for  the 
public,  like  the  Girl  Scouts,  or  the 
Boy  Scouts :  recently  we  held  a 
demonstration  out  at  Southtown 
Mall,"  Kerry  explained. 

The  ari  oup  demonstrates  the  art  of 
shooting  rifles,  mostly  muzzle  rifles, 
using  black  powder  onlv.  The 
members  shoot  the  different  types 
of  guns  at  targets  usually  100  yards 
away:  targets  range  from  paper  to 
the  typical  pigeon  targets. 

Dad  is  President 
"My  dad  has  been  in  this  club  for 
about    seven    years;    now    he    is 

president "    said    Kerry,    "that, 

plus  my  interest  in  guns,  is  how  I 


got  involved  with  this  club." 

On  an  average,  each  member  of 
the  club  practices  shooting  about 
once  a  week;  those  members  under 
18  years  of  age  must  have  signed 
permission  slips  from  their  parents. 
Anyone  with  a  particular  interest 
in  the  shoo^mg  of  guns,  who  would 
be  interested  in  joining  the 
Kekionga  Long  Rifles,  can  contact 
Kerry  any  time  during  school.

Aptitude  tests 
strengths  and 

Every  year  a  large  number  of 
young  people  leave  behind  them  12 
years  of  education,  only  to  find  out 
they  really  don't  know  where  they're 
going.  Many,  perhaps,  are  finding 
that  if  they  had  learned  something 
about  their  strengths  in  high  school, 
leaving  the  institutional  shelter 
wouldn't  have  been  so  difficult. 

Learning  one's  strengths  and 
weaknesses  can  be  an  important 
factor  in  finding  success,  and 
educating  high  school  students  to 
those  points  is  the  idea  behind  a 
special  testing  program  offered  by 
the  Fort  Wayne  Community 
Schools.  The  tests,  given 
individually,  are  designed  to  give  a 
better  understanding  of  a  person's 
abilities  and  to  help  guide  him  after 
he  has  discovered  them. 

Takiog  the  W  AIS 

The  test  most  frequently  given  is 
the  WAIS  (Weschler  Adult 
Intelligence  Scale).  This  is  an  IQ 
test  and  must  be  given  by  a  trained 
psychologist.  The  test  is 
administered  at  Elmhurst  by  Mr. 
John  Walmsley,  who  is  a  firm 
believer  in  the  program.  The  WAIS 
is  divided  into  two  sections:  verbal 
and  performance.  Each  section  is 
broken  down  into  several  sub-tests: 


point  out 
weaknesses 

the  verbal  includes  a  memory 
section,  an  arithmetic  section, 
vocabulary,  and  others,  while  the 
performance  involves  such  things  as 
puzzles,  block  arrangement, 
drawing,  and  copying  digit  symbols. 
The  WAIS  lasts  about  two  hours 
and  is  only  given  on  Tuesdays, 
which  is  the  day  Mr.  Walmsley  is  at 
Elmhurst.  The  only  requirement  for 
taking  it  is  to  have  a  parental 
permission  slip  which  must  be 
signed  to  comply  with  the  school 
record  privacy  act. 

Finding  interests 

A  second  offering  is  the  WRIOT 
(Wide  Range  Interest  Orientation 
Test).  The  WRIOT  differs  from  the 
WAIS  in  that  most  questions  are 
related  to  interests,  rather  than  to 
intelligence.  The  WRIOT  also 
specifies  professions  which  a 
student,  although  he  might  not  have 
a  strength  in,  might  be  happy  in. 
The  questions  on  this  test  generally 
follow  the  pattern  of  "Which  of  the 
following  would  you  most  like  or  not 
like  to  do?" 

These  tests  are  available  through 
the  guidance  department.  Students 
wishing  to  know  more  about  them 
should  contact  the  counselors. 
Perhaps  taking  either  of  them  could 
make  the  future  a  little  brighter. 


Two  seniors  get  scholarship 


^    f% 


Kevin  Young  Mike  Arnold 

A  little  hard  work  never  hurt 
anybody,  right?  Apparently,  a  lot  of 
hard  work  hasn't  either,  in  the  case 
of  two  Elmhurst  seniors.  Mike 
Arnold  and  Kevin  Young,  and 
Mike's  older  sister  Pam  Arnold. 
Each  has  earned  an  Evans  caddy 
scholarship  to  Purdue  University, 
establishing  a  national  first. 

When  the  decision  was  finally 
made  official.  Mike  and  Pam  became 
the  first  brother-sister  team  to 
receive  caddy  scholarships  in  the 
nation.  In  addition,  Pam  is  the  first 
female  in  Indiana  to  receive  the 
award.  They  are  entitled  to  a  four- 
year  S4000  scholarship  if  they  make 
good  grades. 

Must  meet  requirements 

In  applying  for  the  scholarship, 
the  applicant  must  be  a  caddy  for 
two  years,  place  in  the  upper  25  per 
cent  of  his  or  her  class,  and  score 
well  on  the  College  Standard 
Aptitude  Test.  Also,  the  applicant 
must  be  in  a  certain  family  financial 
income  bracket,  and  must  have 
recommendations  from  the  club's 
caddy  committee  chairman,  caddy 


supervisor,    golf    pro    and    club 
president. 

Interviews  were  conducted  by  the 
Indiana  Golf  Association  in 
Indianapolis  last  week  for  the  final 
"judgement."  Though  not 
establishing  any  precedents,  Kevin 
Young  also  earned  the  scholarship. 
He  caddied  at  the  Fort  Wayne 
Country  Club  for  two  years.  He  has 
been  outstanding  in  audio-visual 
work,  band  programs,  contests.  Boy 
Scouts,  and  in  his  church  youth 
group.  At  Purdue  he  plans  to  major 
in  electrical  engineering. 

Keep  totin'! 

Mike  Arnold  toted  bags  for  five 
years  at  the  Fort  Wayne  Country 
Club.  He  is  now  vice  president  of  the 
EHS  student  body,  newspaper 
editor,  and  is  on  the  varsity  golf 
team.  He  plans  to  study  industrial 
management  at  Purdue. 

Pam  Arnold,  who  graduated  last 
year  from  Elmhurst,  is  now  working 
her  way  through  Purdue,  and  hopes 
to  attain  a  pre-med  or  nursing 
degree.  With  the  help  of  Mike,  she 
caddied  last  summer  at  the  FWCC 
after  working  three  years  in  the  pro 
shop.  In  just  one  summer  she  was 
given  the  distinction  of  caddying  in 
the  Mad  Anthony  tournament. 

Even  though  not  all  hard  work 
would  result  in  national  recognition, 
a  word  to  the  wise  might  be:  Keep 
totin'  those  clubs!

Questions 
raised  on 
absence 

policy 


There  are  no  longer  little 
pink  signs  hung  on  the  wall 
in  every  classroom 
Ti'minding  students  and 
teachers  how  important 
coming  to  school  is.  Those 
bold  face  Absence  Causes 
Failure  posters  are  gone,  but 
the  policy  is  still  in  effect. 

True.  Absence  Causes 
Failure  is  merely  a 
suggestion  or  guideline 
given  to  the  teachers  from 
the  school  administration, 
but  there  has  been  no 
definite  interpretation  of  the 
policy  and  every  teacher  is 
free  to  interpret  it  as  he  or 
she  pleases. 

The  real  trouble  here  is 
that  no  one  is  sure, 
especially  the  students 
(whom  the  policy  affects!,  of 
how  the  administration  and 
the  teachers  enforce  it. 

Some  teachers  count  only 
U'lexcused  absences  when 
totaling  how  many  days  out 


of  the  ten-day  allotment  a 
student  has  missed,  but 
others  count  both  excused 
and  unexcused  absences. 
Possibly  one  clear 

interpretation  of  the  policy 
should  be  used  by  all 
teachers. 

True,  one  class  is  different 
from  another,  and  some 
depend  on  regular 

attendance,  but  a  student 
should  not  be  penalized  as 
heavily  as  he  is  for  missing 
school  because  of  illness  or 
religious  beliefs. 

The  Absence  Causes 
Failure  policy  was 

01  iginated  to  discourage 
some  of  the  students  who 
miii-:e  missing  class  a 
frequent  happening. 
Sometimes  a  student  Uke 
t^is  will  not  only  fail  but  will 
be  expelled  from  school.  Sort 


of  hypocritical  isn't  it?  To 
punish  a  student  for  not 
coming  to  school,  he  will  not 
'ie  rUowed  to  come  to  school. 

Although  the  policy  has 
aide'^  in  the  correction  of 
this  "problem"'  somewhat,  it 
'  js,  in  some  instances,  hurt 
students  who  have,  in  the 
past,  gotten  above-average 
grades,  but  because  of 
illness  or  injury,  have 
missed  more  than  ten  days 
of  a  class. 

If  a   student   misses   ten 


days  in  a  class  and  can'tl 
keep  up  with  nis  work,  he 
will  receive  a  lower  grade  or 
possibly  flunk.  Why  make  it 
mandatory?  For  if  a  student 
can  keep  up  with  his  class  he 
should  be  allowed  to  get  the 
grade  he  earned.

People  who  formerly  thought  they 
were  doomed  never  to  have  a  gfreen 
thumb  can  now  find  comfort  in  the 
newest  craze  in  the  plant  world 
terrarium  gardening. 

Actually,  the  "new"  fad  dates 
back  all  the  way  back  to  the  1800's, 
but  the  terrarium  remains  popular, 
mainly  because  it  allows  anyone  to 
become  a  gardener.  Taking  care  of 
one  is  a  simple  task  since,  once  the 
creative  work  is  out  of  the  way, 
nature  does  virtually  everything 
else. 

Three  steps  to  consider 

The  three  steps  that  a  prospective 
gardener  must  first  consider, 
however,  are  the  planning,  design 
and  planting  that  he  must  do.  These 
are  essential  to  the  success  of  the 
terrarium. 

The  first,  planning,  includes  the 
choosing  of  plants  and  the  selection 
of  the  bowl  or  dome  that  the  garden 
will  go  in.  It  is  generally  wise  to 
decide  one  with  the  other  in  mind, 
because  otherwise  the  plants  might 
be  too  large  for  the  container  or  vice 
versa. 

The  second  step,  design,  presents 
almost  no  restrictions.  Simply  draw 
a  small  map  of  how  you  want  the 
plants  and  decorations  placed,  and 


Green  thumbs 
cultivate  terrariums 


then  move  on  to  the  planting  stage. 

To  plant  a  terrarium  is  relatively 
easy.  All  that's  needed  is  house 
plant  soil,  charcoal,  which  is  used  to 
keep  the  soil  sweet  and  the 
environment  healthy,  and  gravel, 
used  for  preventing  water-logged 
soil  -  and  the  plants,  of  course,  which 
follow  the  tastes  of  the  gardener. 

Smftll  jobs  remain 

After  these  three  are 
accomplished,  the  only  remaining 
job  is  the  occasional  removal  of 
twigs  and  dead  blossoms  to  prevent 
disease  or  insect  invasion.  To 
prevent  moisture  build-up,  the  lid 
needs  to  be  checked  from  time  to 
time  for  condensation  and  removed 
for  a  few  days  if  any  is  found. 

Terrarium  gardening  is  becoming 
more  and  more  popular  and  more 
and  more  information  is  being  put

out  about  them.  For  those  who 
previously  lacked  talent  with  plants, 
and  for  those  who  didn't,  it  could  be 
an  interesting  and  enjoyable 
opportunity  and  a  chance  to  boast  a 
green  thumb.

Genesis,  Hollander  perform  different  but 


12-Editorii; 

classic  works 


byBarbHarmaii 

Although  "The  Lamb  Lies  Down  on 
Broadway"  by  Genesis  ond  Rachmaninoff's 
"Piano  Conceruj  No,  2  in  C  Minor"  have  little 
in  common,  except  being  exceptionally  fine 
works  in  their  rcspeclivo  musical  fields,  it 
could  easily  be  said  that  the  performances  of 
both,  given  in  separate  concerts  a  week  and  a 
half  ago,  were  probably  two  of  the  best 
musical  events  in  Fort  Woyno  this  past  year. 

Genesis  outdoes  itself 

Surrealism  and  fantasy  combined  to  make 
the  Genesis  concert,  on  Feb.  3.  a  truly  unique 
experience  and  undoubtedly  the  best  rock 
performance  here  of  the  year.  The  group 
managed  to  outdo  even  themselves,  sur- 
passing their  old  show--a  very  difficult  feat  to 
occomplish. 

The  surrealistic  idea  was  conveyed  not 
only  through  the  music  and  story  of  Rael,  a 
young  Puerto  Rican  in  New  York  City,  but 
also  through  the  slides,  many  of  which  were 
paintings  by  surrealistic  artists  Salvadore 
Dali  and  Max  Ernst.  The  slide  show  itself 
contained  well  over  a  thousand  pictures  and 
deserves  special  recognition  for  having  been 
put  together  so  well. 

Fewer  costume  changes  were  made,  hut 
were  not  missed  as  Peter  Gabriel,  lead 
vocalist  and  floutist,  dominated  the  stage 
with  his  antics  as  Rael,  the  Imperial  Aerosol 
Kid.  Numerous  other  devices  were  used  in 
the  show  which  included  onstage  explosions 
and  shadow  effects. 
Minor  difficulties 

The  performance  of  the  group  was 
excellent.  Gabriel's  voice  held  out 
surprisingly  well  throughout  the  two  hour 
concert.  Tony  Banks,  on  keyboards,  and  Phil 
Collins,    on    drums    and    percussives,    are 


undoubtedly  two  of  the  top  musicians  in 
their  fields  and  Michael  Rutherford  on  bass 
and  Steve  Hackett  on  guitar,  also  excellent 
musicians,  were  outstanding. 

There  were,  unfortunately,  a  few  minor 
difficulties  with  the  show,  as  is  generally  the 
case.  The  acoustics  of  the  Coliseum  are  bad, 
and  many  times  the  words  of  "The  Lamb, 
etc.  ■  were  garbled.  There  were  also  many 
complaints  about  the  "festival  seating  " 
arrangement;  sitting  on  the  floor  for  two 
hours  is  hard  on  the  back.  In  any  case,  it  was 
a  definite  improvement  over  the  Armory, 
where  the  Genesis  concert  last   April  was 


held. 

Hollander  talks,  performs 

Mr  Hollander's  artistry  was  revealed  in 
his  performance  ond  through  a  program  in 
which  he  was  featured  on  Saturday,  Feb.  8, 
entitled  "A  Conversation  with  Young 
People".  In  this  "Conversation"  and 
performance,  the  pianist  showed  himself  to 
be  a  true  communicator  of  the  arts  and  also 
sincerely  involved  in  the  work  he  was  doing. 

He  is  also  concerned  about  young  people 
and  their  search  for  enjoyment  and  meaning 
in  life,  and  stated  his  belief  in  the  importance 
of  the  arts  in  general  and  in  education.  Mr. 


Hollander,  whose  hfe  has  been  the  concep 
hall  for  the  past  18  years  (he  is  now  30), 
who  began  playing  and  composing  at  theap, 
of  three  and  a  half,  has  done  extensi\^ 
work,  much  of  it  on  a  voluntary  basis,  to  heir 
educate  young  people  in  music  appreciation 
Speaking  Saturday,  the  pianist  stress^ 
the  use  of  music  to  find  insights  into  th. 
personal  lives  of  listeners. 

Although  Mr.  Hollander's  concert  i\,-^.. 
time  was  not  volunteer  work,  it  was  certain]., 
a  lesson  in  music  appreciation,  and  brougb; 
to  a  close  an  enjoyable  week  of  music. 


Languages  offer  more  if  started  earlier 


At  the  end  of  eighth  grade,  junior 
high  students  have  to  decide 
whether  or  not  they  should  take  a 
foreign  language.  Many  of  these 
students  decide  to  take  one  of  the 
two  languages  offered.  Because  they 
start  a  language  in  the  ninth  grade, 
they  should  be  able  to  test  out  of  the 
language  in  college,  but  some  who 
take  even  four  years  of  that 
language  in  high  school  cannot  test 
out  of  even  one  year  in  college. 

There  are  however,  a  number  of 
possible  solutions.  One  would  be  to 
move  at  a  faster  rate  in  high  school, 
but  many  students  now,  who  are  in 
classes  that  move  at  a  slower  pace, 
cannot  or  will  not  take  the  time  to 
learn  a  new  language  with  new 
grammatical  patterns,  vocabulary 
words  and  spelling,  especially  after 


they've  spent  the  last  ten  years 
trying  to  grasp  the  English 
language. 

Portage  Junior  High  has 
attempted  to  aid  the  students  in 
foreign  languages  by  offering  a  class 
for  seventh  and  eighth  graders  in 
French  culture.  The  language  itself 
is  not  taught,  though  a  few  words 
are  learned.  The  class  deals  mainly 
with  the  customs  and  history  of 
France. 

But  that  is  the  only  class  offered. 
Prospective  Spanish  students  are 
out  of  luck.  It  would  be  beneficial  for 
schools  to  offer  culture  classes  about 
countries  such  as  Spain  and 
Germany.  But  better  still  would  be 
if  junior  highs  could  actually  start 
seventh  and  eighth  graders  in  the 
language   itself.    More   students 


language  in  college  and  more 
importantly.  have  a  better 
understanding  of  the  language  of 
another  people. 

After  all,  taking  a  foreign 
language  should  be  more  than  just  a 
grade  in  a  class  that  is  required  for 
most  colleges.  It  should  bring  one 
group  of  people  close  to  another.  It 
should  lead  us  to  understand 
another  nation  of  people  that  Uve  on 
the  same  planet. 

Possibly,  when  Americans  realize 
that  education  is  one  of  the  most 
important  programs  that  tax  dollars 
can  finance,  foreign  languages  could 
be  offered  in  elementary  school, 
where  the  students  could  learn  the 
language  while  at  the  same  time 
mastering  the  basics  of  English.

Girl  gymnasts  defeated  b\i   M/oyne/ 
Basketball  team  takes  Northrop  27-16 


Reserves  9-5 


by  Karyn  Heiney 

The  girls'  gymnastic  team 
failed  to  knock  off  Wayne 
gymnasts  Jan.  29.  But  the 
meet,  held  in  the  Elmhurst 
gym.  showed  a  much  more 
promising  Trojan  team  than 
expected. 

Elmhurst  led  after  the 
first  event,  vaulting,  by 
taking  three  seconds,  a 
third,  and  one  first.  Then 
Wayne  pulled  ahead  after 
the  uneven  parallel  bars  and 
still  maintained  a  narrow 
lead  after  the  balance  beam. 
Elmhurst  failed  to  place  in 
floor  exercise  except  for  one 
first  in  the  optional  level. 
This  proved  to  be  the 
determining  factor  as 
Wayne  ended  up  on  top  by  a 
considerable  score. 


The  team  was  led  by 
sophomore  Karyn  Heiney. 
She  won  both  vault  and  floor 
exercise,  placing  second  in 
bars  and  beam  for  the 
optional  level. 

The  girls'  basketball  team 
won  Jan.  25  against  a  tall 
Northrop  team,  27-16,  at 
Northrop. 

Starters  were  Sally 
Hinton,  Kelly  Auer,  Kellie 
Slate,  Ethel  Fowlkes,  and 
Marilynn  Scherer.  The  team 
was  ahead  11-8  at  the  half. 
The  short  Trojan  ball  club 
continued  to  pull  away  and 
beat  the  Bruins  soundly. 

"They  are  playing  more 
team  ball  now,"  stated  the 
coach.  Mrs.  Lucy  Doswell. 
"The  Northrop  game  shows 
this  true." 


The  Trojan  team  suffered 
a  loss  Jan.  30,  to  a  tough 
Wayne  team.  The  game, 
held  at  Wayne,  ended  with  a 
score  of  21-31.  The  team 
kept  within  1-3  points  of 
Wayne  up  until  the  third 
quarter.  Then  the  Generals 
slowly  pulled  away  to  defeat 
Elmhurst  by  ten  points.

The  Elmhurst  reserve 
basketball  team  has  recently 
met  sudden  victory  and 
sudden  defeat.  The  Trojans 
beat  Valparaiso  by  one  point 
while  falling  at  the  hands  of 
Wayne,  also  by  one  point. 

The  reserves  held  an 
eight-point  lead  early  in  the 
fourth  quarter  of  the  Wayne 
game  before  a  sudden  surge 
by  the  Generals  crushed  the 
hopes  of  a  Trojan  victory.

^he  reserve  basketball

'eeks  ago  by  both  North 
!,je  and  Huntington,  but 
„„e  back  last  weekend  to 
;„umph  over  the  New 
Ujven  BuUdogs. 

On   Feb.    7   the  Trojans 
jent  against  the  North  Side 
(edsliins   in   the    Elmhurst 
,j.n,nasium.    Both    teams 
^^ere  pretty  evenly  matched 
the   first   quarter   as    it 
ided  in  a  10-10  tie.  But  as 
,1,8  second  segment  c^me  to 
close    the    Trojans    were 
j„n    eight    points,    26-18. 
[luring  the  last  two  stanzas 
of  the    game    the    Trojans 
(ought  to  regain  the  lead  but 
never  quite  made  it.  as  the 
game    ended    50-39.    High 
scorers  for  the  match  were 
Mike  Brewer ,12,  and  Kenny 
CokerwithU. 

Same  sad  story 

The  next  day,  Elmhurst 
was  the  site  of  another 
match,  this  time  between 
the  Trojans  and  the 
Huntington  Vikings.  The 
reserves  stayed  within  close 
range  of  the  Vikes  for  the 
first  two  quarters,  and  as 
the  half-time  buzzer 
sounded  the  Trojans  were 
down  only  four  points,  23-19. 


However  the  last  two 
segments  proved  to  be 
tough  ones  for  the  reserves 
as  they  could  not  seem  to 
find  the  basket.  The  game 
came  to  a  conclusion  with  a 
score  of  47-34.  High  point 
men  were  Kenny  Coker  with 
U  and  Mike  Brewer  with  7

evening  and  came  out  on  top 
by    a    score   of    49-43.    The 
Trojans   jumped   off   to   an 
early  lead  of  8-7  and  ended 
the  half  with  a  17-all  tie.  As 
the      third      stanza      got 
underway  the  Trojans  puUed 
out    in    front    where    they 
would  remain  for  the  rest  of 
the  match.  At  the  close  of 
the  third  quarter  Elmhurst

Mike's  Side 


by  Mike  Landrigan 

The  weekend  of  Feb.  7 
and  8  saw  many  surprises  in 
Indiana  high  school 
basketball.  Muncie  North 
was  beaten  Friday.  Dwenger 
surprised  everybody  and 
beat  Snider.  Then  Snider 
turned  around  the  next 
night  and  beat  the  Marion 
Giants. 

Mixed  in  during  this 
hectic  weekend,  Elmhurst 
was  beaten  in  a  slight  upset 
Friday,  and  Saturday 
managed  to  scare  everybody 
until  Dave  Campbell's  free 
throws  put  Huntington 
away. 
Bright  spot 

Admittedly,  the  loss  to 
North  Side  was 

disappointing,  but  it  is 
possible  to  find  a  bright  spot 
resulting  from  this  gloomy 
game. 

During  past  years, 
Ehnhurst  has  consistently 
had  strong  basketball 
teams.  With  so  many 
excellent  teams  it  seems 
ironical  that  the  Trojans 
have  only  won  a  single 
sectional  title. 


During  the  past  two 
years,  1  beheve  the  losses 
were  due  to  overconfidence. 
The  loss  to  Snider  two  years 
ago  came  after  Elmhurst 
had  beaten  Snider  just 
weeks  before.  Last  year,  the 
Trojans  had  beaten  North 
Side  during  the  regular 
season;  however,  the 
Trojan's  hopes  for  a  second 
sectional  title  were 
shattered  by  the  Redskins. 

This  year  Elmhurst  has 
run  up  an  impressive  record 
and  winning  skein.  The 
Trojans  were  sailing  along 
on  a  long  winning  streak. 
After  such  a  long  stretch 
without  a  loss,  it  is  easy  to 
lose  the  concentration 
necessary  before  a  game.  In 
other  words,  the  team  gets 


over-confident. 
Try  harder 

The  loss  to  North  Side 
will  make  the  Trojans  try 
harder  during  the  upcoming 
Sectionals.  The  members  of 
the  team  once  again  reaUze 
they  are  not  unbeatable. 

The  Trojans  should  carry 
the  best  record  into 
Sectionals.  Also,  they  will 
be  the  SAC  champs  so  all 
the  other  schools  will  be 
shooting  at  them.  With  the 
loss  to  North  Side,  the 
Trojans  should  be  more 
aggressive  and  determined. 
If  we  keep  our  concentration 
and  dont  run  into  injuries  or 
foul  trouble,  Elmhurst 
should  win  its  second 
sectional  title.

Trojans  first  in  SAC;  defeat  Snider 


by  Jim  McCleneghen 

For  a  basketball  team 
that  was  inexperienced. 
small  and  not  intended  to  be 
any  kind  of  real  contender 
for  the  SAC  crown,  the 
Elmhurst  Trojans  are  not 
having  a  bad  season.  Not 
only  are  the  Trojans  13-2 
overall,  but  by  virtue  of 
smashing  Snider  88-72  last 
Friday  they  hold  a  very 
strong  grip  on  first  place. 

The  game  started  out 
looking  pretty  good  for  the 
Panthers  as  they  put  the 
game's  first  four  points  on 
the  board.  However,  things 
were  not  to  go  so  all  night. 
The  Trojans  ran  off  an 
exhibition  that  was  a  joy  for 
the  Elmhurst  half  of  a 
capacity  crowd  to  see. 
Before  Snider  knew  what  hit 
them  they  were  13  points 
behind  and  the  first  quarter 
had  just  ended. 

Panthers  close  gap 

The  second  quarter  was 
much  more  evenly  played  as 
the  Panthers  were  able  to  go 
into  the  dressing  room  at  the 
short  end  of  a  40-28  half.  The 
first  half  lead  was  mainly 
contributed  by  Raymond 
and  Larry  Reese,  who  scored 


32  and  17  points 
respectively,  a  combmation 
of  49  of  the  Trojans'  88  total 
points.  Sophomore  Ernie 
Starks  also  recorded  17 
points,  while  senior  Keith 
Bradtmiller  scored  12, 


The  third  quarter  was  the 
only  time  the  Trojans  had 
any  trouble  with  the 
Panthers  as  the  Snider  fiiil 
court  press  resulted  in  eight 
Elmhurst  turnovers  and 
Snider  outscoring  the 
Trojans  26-18  in  the  quarter. 

As  the  foiirth  segment  got 
under  way,  Snider  cut  the 
Trojans'  lead  to  4.  But  that 
was  as  close  as  the  Panthers 
would    come;    the    Reese 


brothers  exploded  for  17 
points  to  lead  a  fourth 
quarter  spurt  of  30  points. 

Elmhurst  stands  alone 

The  Trojans  .  now  6-0  in 
the  SAC,  have  only  two 
more  conference  games. 
This  Friday  s  game  finds 
Elmhurst  hosting  North 
Side.  The  Trojans  need  win 
only  one  of  their  two 
remaining  SAC  games  to 
claim  first  place;  by  virtue 


of  beating  Snider,  the 
Trojans  will  be  champs  if  it 
should  come  down  to  a  tie 
between  the  two  teams. 

Elmhurst  did  have  its 
trouble  with  the  Wayne 
Generals  Jan.  24,  however, 
as  the  Trojans  saw  a  17 
point  lead  dwindle  away. 
Elmhurst  just  managed  to 
squeak  by  79-80  in  order  to 
hold  on  to  a  fourteenth 
ranking  in  the  UPI  polls.

In  previous  articles  I  have 
referred  to  some  of  the 
shortcomings  in  the  physical 
education  and  major  athletic 
facilities  at  Elmhurst .  In 
this  article  I  will  be  con- 
cerned with  identifying 
these  shortcomings  and  the 
likelihood  of  major  facility 
improvements. 

The  six  major  P.E.  and 

'  athletic    program    concerns 

caused  by  facility 

shortcomings   at   Elmhurst 

are  as  follows: 

1.  Lack  of  a  facility  to 
conduct  an  intra- 
mural program. 

2.  Lack  of  sufficient 
physical  education 
stations  (P.E.  classes 
are  "crowded.") 

3.  Lack  of  adequate  P.E. 
storage  areas. 

3.  Lack  of  adequate 
locker  room  faciUties. 

5.  Lack  of  adequate  fa- 
cilities to  practice 
major  indoor  sports 
for  all  teams. 

6.  And.  some  would  add, 
lack  of  a  complete 
basketball  hall. 

Shortcomings  discussed 
I  will  touch  briefly  on  each 


of  these  shortcomings. 

Intramurals  offer  physical 
development  and  recreation 
to  all  who  participate. 

P.E.  classes  are  crowded 
because  of  the  numbers  who 
elect  P.E.  as  compared  to 
the  number  of  availab'e 
class  periods.  Handicapped 
students  have  little 
opportunity  until  more  P.E. 
space  is  provided. 

The  new  outdoor  physical 
education  buildmg  added 
much  needed  locker  space 
for  football,  track  and 
baseball,  but  more  space  is 
needed  near  the  gym  areas. 
The  "visitors"  locker  room 
is  "embarrassing." 

Also  it  takes  a  lot  of  space 
to  store  gymnastics  and 
P.E.  equipment.  It  should 
be  stored  close  to  where  it 
normally  is  used. 

There  is  tremendous 
competition  for  the  gym 
station.  The  sophomore, 
junior  varsity,  varsity  boys 
teams  and  the  girls  varsity 
team  need  to  practice  daily. 
But  how  many  people  can 
practice  at  one  time? 

Elmhurst  High  School 
was  originally  constructed 
in  1931.  At  that  time,  this 


beautiful  structure  was  a 
"schoolman's  dream"  and  a 
student  delight.  Over  the 
years,  it  became  obsolete. 
As  with  all  buildings  in  the 
Fort  Wayne  Community 
Schools,  the  superintendent 
of  schools,  Lester  Grile,  has 
scheduled  improvements. 
Plans  are  being  formulated. 
Future  graduating  classes 
will  have  no  need  to 
complain.  The  students, 
faculty,  and  administration 
can  only  wait  and  see  what 
the  school  board  can  decide.

Winning  two  out  of  their 
last  three  basketball  games, 
[de  Elmhurst  Trojans  closed 
put  their  home  basketball 
reason  with  an  8-1  record. 
fheir  only  defeat  came  at 
the  hands  of  a  tough  North 
_^ide  team,  67-61.  The 
lYojans  revenged  the  loss  by 
beating  Huntington  67-63 
and  trouncing  New  Haven 
71-57. 

The  nineteenth-ranked 
Trojans  travel  to  Concordia 
[[lis  coming  Friday  and 
finish  out  the  season  at 
Mississinewa  Saturday 
night,  A  win  at  Concordia 
would  give  Elmhurst  the 
SAC  title  with  a  7-1 
conference  record,  while  a 
loss  would  create  a  three- 
way  tie  between  Elmhurst, 
North  Side,  and  Snider. 

North  controls  quarter 

The  first  quarter  of  the 
North  Side  game  opened 
with  the  Redskins 

controlling  the  tip  and 
scoring  the  first  basket. 
Keith  Bradtmiller  quickly 
countered  with  a  bucket  for 
ttie  Trojans.  An  aggressive 
zone  defense  used  by  North 
shut  off  the  outside  shooting 


of  Elmhurst  s  Ray  and 
Larry  Reese  during  the  first 
quarter  and  for  most  of  the 
game.  The  first  period  ended 
with  the  Redskins  on  top  13- 
11. 

Sloppy  defense  on  the 
part  of  the  Trojans  let  the 
North  Side  lead  rise  to  27-22 
before  Larry  Reese  hit  a  25- 
foot   desperation-bank   shot 


with  one  second  left  in  the 
period.  Larry  then  sank  a 
foul  shot  closing  the  score  to 
27-25  in  favor  of  North 
before  both  teams  entered 
their  respective  dressing 
rooms. 

Trojans  trail 

The  third  stanza  saw 
North  Side  draw  away  to  a 
44-38     lead     in     a     very 


before  an  unenthusiastic 
crowd.  The  Trojans 
threatened  to  make  the 
game  a  runaway,  leading  62- 
42  with  5:30  left  in  the 
game,  before  New  Haven 
narrowed  the  gap  to  71-57  as 
the  game  ended.

Both  teams'  offense  was 
ragged  with  many  turnovers 
forced  by  both  clubs'  good 
defense. 

North  Side  bulged  its  lead 
to  58-48  with  3:51  left  in  the 
game  before  Elmhurst  came 
cruising  back,  scoring  seven 
unanswered  points.  The 
Trojans  narrowed  North's 
lead  to  62-60  with  about  one 
minute  left.  That  was  as 
close  as  the  Trojans  could 
get      as      the      Redskins 

outscored    Elmhurst    5-1   in 

the  last  minute  of  play  and 

the  game  ended  at  67-61  in

by  Kevin  Lee 

The  sectional  "jinx" 
struck  Elmhurst  again  as 
the  Trojans  fell  to  the 
Homestead  Spartans  in 
overtime  last  Wednesday 
night. 

A  desperation  shot  made 
by  Philip  Keipper  just  as  the 
buzzer  sounded  gave 
Homestead  the  victory  and 
ousted  Elmhurst  in  its  first 
sectional  game.  Only  the 
1  970-7  1  Elmhurst 
basketball  team  has  won  a 
sectional  title  in  the  past  44 
years  of  the  high  school's 
existence. 

A  combination  of  good 
man-to-man  press,  led  by 
senior  Keith  Bradtmiller 
and  sophomore  Ernie 
Starks.  along  with  the  super 
shooting  of  Ray  Reese  were 
the  main  reasons  for  the 
Trojans  jumping  out  to  a 
quick  20-10  lead  by  the  end 
of  the  first  quarter. 

Momentum  shifted  to  the 
Homestead  side  as  the 
Spartans  outscored 
Elmhurst  22-14.

Senior  Raymond  Reese 
helped  his  team  win  the  SAC 
championship,  was  one  of 
four  teammates  to  have  an 
average  in  double  figures, 
was  supposedly  too  short  for 
basketball  and  chased  John 
Dormans  of  Concordia  all 
year  for  the  SAC  point

Team  effort,  however, 
proved  this  year  to  be  the 
day,  as  was  evidenced  by  the 
team's  record.  Such  was 
Ray's  concentration  in  this 
area,  he  didn't  realize  he  had 
a  chance  for  the  city  point 
championship.. .until  one 
week  before  the  Concordia- 
Elmhurst  game.  Elmhurst 
won  that  one  and  the  next 
game  at  Mississinewa— and 
so  did  Ray  Reese  win  his 
contest. 

In  regard  to  his  total 
performance.  Ray  gives 
credit  to  his  teammates. 
"They're  the  ones  who  really 
did  it.  They  gave  me  the  ball 
and  let  me  shoot."  During 
the  whole  season,  Ray  didn't

Elmhurst  gymnasts  lose  to  Snider;  defeat  North  Side 


The  Elmhurst  girl' 
gymnastic  team  was  foiled 
by  Snider,  Feb.  5,  in  the 
Trojan  gymnasium. 

The  Trojan  gymnasts 
faced  the  toughest  team  in 
the  city  and  did  rather  well 
considering  Snider 's 
previous  records.  Elmhurst 
trailed  slightly  after 
vaulting  and  unevens  in  all 
three  levels  of  competition. 
The  optional  level 
experienced  a  disadvantage 
in  the  uneven  bars  as  EHS 


had  only  one  girl's  score  for 
the  total.  Thus  Snider 
garnered  many  points  by 
having  a  fuU  event  with 
three  gymnasts. 

The  Trojans  narrowed  the 
lead  down  after  balance 
beam,  scoring  well  in  this 
area.  But  the  floor  exercise 
once  again  was  dominated 
by  the  Panthers.  After  a 
tough  battle  Elmhurst  faced 
defeat  but  with  a  very  good 
performance. 

The    Trojan    gymnasts 


proved  victorious,  however, 
over  the  North  Side 
Redskins  Feb.  12  at  a  home 
meet.  The  gymnasts  really 
put  on  a  fine  show  as  they 
racked  up  a  considerable 
score  over  North. 

The  team  swept  vaulting. 
They  took  all  three  places  in 
beginning,   allowing  onlj 


two  North  Side  gymnasts  to 
place  in  intermediate  and 
optional.  Jan  Dowling 
placed  first  in  beginning  and 
Karyn  Heiney  won  the 
optional.

took  several  other  places 
also.  The  floor  exercise  cartip

time.  Beginners  took  at] 
three  places  again,  jg^ 
Farris  scoring  high  to  take 
first  place.  Karyn  Heiney

Other  gymnasts  placed  also

bars  saw  Katy  Young 
capture  the  blue  in 
beginning  and  Denise  Stein 
in  intermediate.  Several 
Trojans  took  seconds  and 
thirds. 

The  EHS  gymnastics 
team,  in  only  its  second 
year,  is  doing  quite  well  so 
far.  They  plan  to  keep  it  up

feel    that    pressure    would 
affect  his  performance  "if  I 
played  my  regular  game." 

The  game  at  Mississlnewa 
was  really  the  clincher, 
however. 

Coach  Eytcheson  said  that  if 
they  had  at  least  a  20-point 
lead  late  in  the  game,  they 
would  go  almost  exclusively 
to  Ray,  With  six  minutes 
left  in  the  contest,  Ray  got 
his  chance,  and  in  five 
minutes  he  was  taken  out 
after  achieving  his  goal. 


There  was  a  chance  that 
the  varsity  would  not  play, 
if  they  would  have  had  to 
play  a  Monday  night 
sectional.   However,  as  the 


luck  of  the  draw  would  have 
it,  combined  with  Ray 
Reese's  skill,  Elmhurst 
came  out  with  a  deserved 
first.

The  work  begins  in  September  and  lasts  through 
March.  Colleges  must  be  contacted  repeatedly,  posters 
must  be  made  and  distributed,  programs  must  be 
designed  and  printed,  and  technicalities  must  be  worked 
out  and  carried  out.  The  responsibility  for  all  these  roles 
falls  to  the  music  department. 

The  annual  Ehnhurst  High  School  Jazz  Festival  which 
brings  in  approximately  200  participants  and  4,000 
spectators,  is  the  result  of  seven  months  of  work.  Three 
student  chairmen  coordinate  the  committees  which  will 
work  before  and  during  the  festival.  The  chairmen  of  the 
1975  festival  are  senior  Linda  Markey.  junior  Jim 
Yarborough,  and  sophomore  Sue  Taylor. 

The  participating  jazz  bands  need  to  be  informed  of  the 
program  and  the  date.  The  special  guest  and  his  band

Publicity  major  undertaking 

The  project  of  putting  out  a  program  listing  the 
participating  bands  and  their  members  was  done  this  year 
by  senior  Linda  Whitton  and  junior  Sue  Marquis, 
members  of  the  Elmhurst  journalism  department  is  well 
as  the  band.  Senior  Dave  Rinehart  contracted 
advertisements  from  local  merchants.  This  year  the 
program  will  be  slightly  longer-28  pages  total.  There  will 
be  a  map  on  the  inside  of  the  back  cover  pointing  out  such 
things  as  restaurants  near  the  school.  The  front  cover  of 
the  program  is  a  trumpet  and  was  designed  by  Mrs, 
Randy  Brugh.

the  quarter  before  Ray 
Reese  hit  a  pair  of  free 
throws  giving  the  Trojans 
the  lead  34-32  upon  entering 
the  dressing  room. 

The  third  period  opened 
with  Homestead  getting  its 
third  straight  jump-ball  tip. 
The  Spartans  trimmed 
Elmhurst's  lead  to  one  point 
by  the  end  of  the  period,  42- 
41,  setting  the  stage  for  an 
exciting  fourth  quarter. 

Elmhurst  gained  the  tip 
and  held  the  upper  hand 
until  about  the  2:00  mark  of 
the  fourth  period.  Leading 
58-53,  Elmhurst  made  the 
terrible  mistake  of  fouling 
Homestead  guard  Jim 
Haifley,  who  in  turn  sank 
two  free  throws,  narrowing 
the  Trojan  lead  to  58-55. 
Two  more  free  throws  made 
by  Homestead  narrowed  the 
lead  further  to  58-57  with 
1:09  left  before  senior  Dave 
Campbell  hit  a  free  throw. 
The  Spartans  came  right 
back  and  were  fouled  again. 
They  connected  on  both 
ends  of  a  very  crucial  one- 
and-one  shot  tying  the  score 
at  59-59  with  0i28  seconds 
left. 

The  Trojans  had  some 
trouble  getting  the  ball 
down  the  floor,  but  finally 
manged  to  get  it  across  the 
10-second  line  before  calling 


time  out  with  (D:07  seconds 
left  in  the  game.  Following 
the  time  out,  the  ball  came 
in  to  Ray  Reese,  who  was 
boxed  in  the  corner  and  took 
a  30-foot  desperation  shot  as 
the  buzzer  sounded.  The 
quarter  ended  at  59-59 
sending  the  game  into  a  3:00 
overtime  period. 

The  two  teams  traded 
baskets  for  the  first  minute 
and  a  half  until  Homestead's 
free  throw  shooting  put 
them  into  the  lead  66-63 
with  1:24  to  go  in  the  game. 
The  Trojans  came  right  back 
down  the  floor  with  Ray 
Walker  getting  fouled.  Ray 
hit  his  first  free  throw,  then 
Homestead  called  time  out. 
After  the  timeout.  Ray 
Walker  came  back  and 
under  great  pressure  hit  his 
second  free  throw,' 

narrowing  the  Spartan  lead 
to  66-65  with  less  than  a 
minute  left.  The  Elmhurst 
defense  then  came  to  life 
with  the  Reese  brothers 
stealing  the  ball.  Again  Ray 
Walker  played  the  main  role 
when  he  hit  an  8-foot  base- 
line jump  shot  to  give 
Elmhurst  the  lead  67-66 
with  0:29  seconds  left.  The 
Trojan  defense  again 
prevailed  when  Ernie  Starks 
intercepted  a  Homestead 
pass.  He  then  passed  the 
ball  to  Ray  Reese  who  was 


then  fouled  with  0:16  left. 
Ray  missed  his  first  shot 
and  Homestead  grabbed  the 
rebound  calling  time  out. 
Homestead  had  much 
trouble  getting  the  ball  up 
court  when  it  appeared  that 
a  Spartan  guard  was 
trapped  at  the  ten-second 
line.  The  Spartan  guard  got 
his  pass  off  to  a  teammate 
just  in  time.  Homestead  got 
two  shots  off,  missing  both 
but  grabbing  the  rebounds. 
The  third  shot  taken  by 
Homestead's  reserve  center 
Philip  Keipper,  with 
practically  no  time  left,  went 
in  as  the  buzzer  sounded, 
giving  Homestead  the 
victory  68-67. 

Elmhurst  fans  could  not 
believe  what  had  happened. 
Some  showed  their  anger 
after  the  game,  others  cried, 
and  still  others  just  stared 
in  utter  disbelief  at  the 
suddenness  with  which  the 
game  ended. 

When  interviewed  the 
next  day,  Coach  Kenny 
Eytcheson  declared.  "Our 
kids  took  it  like  men. 
Remember  this  group  for 
what  they  did  during  the 
year. "  The  only  thing  for  the 
Trojans  to  do,  according  to 
Coach  Eytcheson,  is,  "Close 
the  chapter,  close  the  book, 
and  start  a  new  chapter  next 
year."

Teens  buy  used  cars  l-^r-] 

Many     of     America's     youth     windows,    and    lock    and    seat  ^tVlJ 


Many  of  America's  youth 
between  the  ages  of  16  and  19  own 
cars.  It  is  reasonable  to  assume 
that  the  majority  of  these 
teenagers  could  not  afford  to 
purchase  new  cars  and  so  resorted 
to  shopping  for  used  automobiles. 

Consumer  Reports  magazine  and 
authorities  on  automobiles 
generally  agree  that  the 
advantages  of  buying  at  a  new  car 
dealership  usually  outweigh  those 
of  buying  from  a  private  party  or 
those  businesses  engaged  solely  in 
dealing  with  second-hand 
automobiles. 

After  a  shopper  has  seen  a  car 
that  appeals  to  him.  there  are  many 
things  he  may  do  to  determine  if  it 
is  a  good  buy.  He  can  get  a  general 
idea  of  whether  it  b  reasonably 
good  by  examining  the  conditions 
of  the  paint,  upholstery,  floor,  and 
tires  ■  aU  basic  signs  of  how  well  the 
car  has  been  cared  for. 

But,  in  addition  to  this,  the 
consumer  is  well  off  to  make  some 
tests  in  its  working  order.  Before 
starting  the  engine,  brake  pressure. 


indows,  and  lock  and  seat 
adjustments  can  be  checked.  After 
operating  ignition,  smoothness  of 
start,  steering  stability,  and 
gauges  and  warning  Lights  should 
be  examined. 

The  prospective  purchase  should 
always  be  taken  for  a  drive  prior  to 
any  payment.  The  car  should  be 
driven  in  both  forward  and  reverse. 
and  if  the  transmission  is  manual, 
all  gears  should  be  tested.  At  this. 
the  driver  should  not  find  any 
jerking  or  grabbing.  For  an 
indication  of  what  condition  the 
engine  is  in  the  purchaser  can 
accelerate  quickly  and  look  for  a 
fast,  smooth  pick-up.  Likewise,  the 
brakes  should  respond  quickly 
without  swerving  or  scraping  or 
grinding  sounds. 

A  used  car  buyer  should  expect 
to  spend  some  money  after  the 
purchase,  but  he  should  also  be 
aware  of  the  above-mentioned 
things,  because  they  can  be  costly 
to  repair  and  are  important  in 
deciding  whether  the  car  will  be  a 
'lemon'  or  not. 


*jr^ 


How  to 

Three  of  the  most  common 
sudden  problems  encountered  by 
drivers  today  are  flat  tires,  battery 
failure  and  radiator  malfunction. 

A  flat  tire  victim  should 
remember  to  put  the  transmission 
in  park  (or  gear  if  it  is  manual), 
engage  the  emergency  brake,  and 
begin  loosening  the  nuts  which 
hold  the  wheel  in  place(lug  nuts). 
These  are  much  easier  to  loosen  if 
an  X-shaped  'ug  wrench  is  used 
instead  of  the  "L  "  shaped  tire  iron 
supplied  by  the  manufacturer. 

The  jack  base  should  be 
anchored  on  firm  flat  ground  or 
pavement.  The  diagram  posted  by 
the  spare  tire  should  tell  where  on 
the  bumper  to  place  the  jack  hook. 
The  bumper  can  also  be  examined

handle  slowly  |the"'L"  shaped  lug 
wrench  doubles  as  the  jack  handle), 
the  car  can  be  Lfted  enough  off  the 
ground  to  get  the  spare  tire  into 
place.  The  flat  tire  can  now  be 
removed  and  the  spare  tire  fitted 
over  the  exposed  bolts.  The  lug 
nuts  then  must  be  screwed  on  and 
slightly  tightened.  With  the 
direction  switch  on  the  jack  turned 
back  to  the  DOWN  position,  the 
car  can  be  lowered  to  one  or  two 
inches  from  the  ground  where,  with 
lug  wrench  and  the  weight  of  the 
body,  the  nuts  are  securely 
tightened.  Finally,  the  car  can  be 
lowered  completely.  During  the 
whole  process,  everyone  should  be 
kept  away  from  the  car. 

Coping  with  a  bad  battery 

A  car  suffering  from  a  dead 
battery  can  be  temporarily  charged 
or  jumped  from  the  battery  of 
another   car.    For    this,    a    pair   of

Juniors  Betsy  Barber.  Claudia 
Johnson  and  Melissa  Hunter  have 
,^n  chosen  as  1975  delegates  to 
Hoosier  Girls'  State. 

The  three,  chosen  by  Mrs. 
Anderson  through 

lecommendations  from  social 
studies  teachers,  will  be  attending 
the  seminar  on  the  Indiana  State 
University  campus  in  Terre  Haute. 

Leadership,  character,  honesty 
and  scholarship  were  among  the 
quaUties  the  girls  concerned  were 
to  possess.  Mrs,  Anderson  sUrted 
with  near  20  names  and  narrowed  it 
down  to  the  three  chosen  delegates 
with,  as  she  stated,  "a  great 
amount  of  difficulty.-  Alternates 
for  the  girls,  also  chosen  from  that 
outstanding  junior  class,  were  Lori 
Rietdorf.  Linda  BeU.  and  Tammy 
Syndram. 

Begimiing  June  15,  the  girls  wUl 
be  exposed  to  the  functions  of  state 
government  through  party. 
county,  state  and  city  offices.  Each 
girl  will  be  expected  to  compete  on 
any  of  the  various  levels  and  in  the 
capacity  of  the  office  she  attains, 

■Tm  really  looking  forward  to 
going."  stated  Claudia,  renecting 
the  attitudes  of  the  two  other  girls 
also. 

Staying  on  campus  through  June 
20,  the  delegates  will  be  put  in 
touch  with  the  duties,  rights,  and 
responsibilities  of  American 
citizenship. 


Summing  it  aU  up.  Betsy  said 
she  saw  the  workshop  as  a  great 
opportunity  to  increasi 
knowledge  of  the  working 
government  in  case  she  grows  up  to 
be  ''president  or  something." 

Financial  sponsoring  of  the 
program  is  through  the  American 
Legion  Auxiliary  and  EHS  faculty 
contributions,

SOME  BOATS  DON'T 
FLOAT!  This  car  is 
commonly  called  a  boat  by 
young  drivers. 


Drivers  need 
car  insurance 


.  a  troubled  car 


jumper  cables  are  necessary.  With 
these  the  positive  poles  of  both  cars 
con  be  connected  while  the  car  with 
the  good  battery  is  still  running. 
The  engine  of  the  bad  car  should 
then  be  turned  over  while  the 
person  owning  the  operating  car 
races  his  engine.  When  the  car  is 
started,  the  cables  should  be 
removed  one  at  a  time.  While  a 
battery  is  being  jumped,  no  one 
should  be  smoking  near  by  and  no 
one  should  peer  into  or  grab  a 
charging  battery.  If  the  battery  has 
been  jumped  often,  it's  probably 
time  for  a  new  battery. 

The  radiator  is  responsible  for 
drawing  off  the  great  amount  of 
heat  a  running  engine  generates.  It 
is  located  just  behind  the  grill  and 
should    always    be    filled    with 

unsoftened  water  or  the 
appropriate  mixture  of  antifreeze 
for  winter.  The  hoses  that  lead  to 
and  from  the  radiator  should  be 
replaced  if  they  are  musty  or 
cracked   and   brittle.    Small   leaks 


directly  from  the  radiator  can  often 
be  stopped  with  a  leak-seaUng 
mixture  on  sale  at  most  service 
stations.  If  a  radiator  leak  is 
naglected.  it  will  enlarge  and 
require  expensive  soldering. 

Precautions  to  be  taken 

The  engine  of  a  car  should  never 
be  run  if  the  radiator  is  empty  The 
heat  produced  by  an  uncooled 
engine  can  hterally  fuse  the  moving 
parts  of  a  motor.  Very  important  is 
the  rule  that  a  radiator  cap  should 
not  be  removed  if  the  engine  is  even 
warm.  The  car  should  be  shut  off 
and  have  cooled  for  at  least  ten 
minutes  before  the  cap  is 
cautiously  loosened.  Severe  burns 
can  result  from  contact  with  the 
high  pressure  steam  of  a  hot 
radiator,

ITS  PLACE  on   the  parking  lot.

Once  home  from  the  car 
insurance  company  with  folders, 
pamphlets  and  the  salesman's 
voice  still  ringing  in  the  ears,  one 
may  begin  to  wonder  what  the  man 
said. 

First  of  all.  Indiana  state  law 
does  not  require  that  a  person  be 
insured,  only  that  he  be  able  to  post 
bond  should  he  be  arrested. 
Nevertheless,  a  license  can  be 
revoked  and  money  deducted  from 
wages  if  there  is  a  suit  against  an 
uninsured  driver,  so  it's  a  good  idea 
for  one  to  carry  at  least  minimal  car 
irisurance. 

The  minimum  policy  most 
companies  sell  is  liability  coverage 
of  S15.000  per  person.  S30.000  per 
accident  and  510.000  for  property 
damage.  Liability  covers  only 
injury  and  damage  to  other  people 
and  their  property,  not  that  of  the 
insured.  For  a  17  year-old  male  who 
passed  driver's  education,  it  costs 


between  S130  and  S160  per  year. 
For  females,  the  cost  per  year  is 
between  S70  and  S90, 

Medical  insurance  covers  the 
insured  in  case  of  injury.  It  comes 
in  many  different  values  from 
SI, 000  up.  This  will  cover  any 
medical  bills  incurred  from  a 
accident. 

Tape  players 

To  cover  himself  and  his  car,  an 
insurance  buyer  needf 

comprehensive  and  medica 
insurance,  Comprehensivt 
insurance  covers  the  insured  car 
against  natural  disaster  and 
vandahsm,  A  tape  player,  however, 
may  not  be  included  in  the 
coverage.  Most  clauses  ol 
vandalism  comprehensive  policies 
apply  only  to  factory  installed 
players.  For  some  buyers,  stereo- 
tape  player  coverage  is  necessary 
and  runs  about  SIO  per  year.

To  the  Editor: 

Having  just  read  an  editorial  in 
the  Feb.  20  issue  of  the  Advance, 
and  personally  being  aware  of  the 
consequences  of  the  policy 
mentioned.  I  must  wholeheartedly 
concur  with  the  editorial 
concerning  the  questioning  of  the 
attendance  policies  of  this  school. 
Although  regular  attendance  is 
admittedly  desirable  for  students, 
when  a  person  is  unable  to  attend 
for  Q  reason  that  is  beyond  his 
control  (i.e.,  accident,  illness,  etc.), 
it   is   unfair  and   unreasonable   to 


Attendance  issue  recapped 


EARTHLY 


penalize   him   scholastically   for  a 
physical  handicap. 

One  would  think  that  the 
ridiculousness  of  the  circumstances 
mentioned  would  banish  the 
possibility  of  these  situations  from 
happening.  Unfortunately,  this  is 
not  always  the  case.  Instances 
have  happened  this  year  where 
students'  grades  have  been 
sustantially  dropped;  in  one 
particular  case  a  student  was  kept 
off  the  honor  roll  because  of  this 
type  of  thinking,  even  though  he 
had    superior    average    in    grade 


^ 


scores. 

The  time  has  come  to  bring  our 
attendance  ratings  system  (and  the 
sequential  effect  on  the  grade)  out 
of  the  Dark  Ages  and  at  least  gel  it 
into  this  century.  In  a  time  when 
our  school  drives  us  harder,  and 
pounds  into  us  the  concept  of 
achieving,  of  doing  better,  isn't  it 
about  time  to  ask  the 
administration  to  practice  what  it 
preaches? 

Tom  Young 

To  The  Editor: 

This  may  seem  trivial  to  many 
people  in  the  school,  but  there  are 
enough  people  in  the  school  in 
agreement  with  me  to  warrant 
writing  this  letter. 

Every  time  I  try  to  use  a 
restroom  between  classes  (or 
during  lunchl  I  find  wall-to-wall 
people  in  a  room  so  thick  with 
smoke  that  it  is  virtually 
impossible  for  a  non-smoker  to 
breathe.  This  is  due,  in  part,  to  the 
lack  of  a  more  suitable  place  to 
smoke,  and  in  a  larger  part,  an 
unspoken  policy  on  the  part  of  the 
administration. 

I  believe  that  if  the 
administration  continues  to  allow 
this  situation  to  ejust,  they  should 
at  least  take  into  consideration  the 
non-smokers  and  their  rights.  I  feel 
that  one  (I  don't  want  much) 
bathroom  somewhere  in  the  school 
should  be  thoroughly  policed  so 
that  non-smokers  could  use  a 
restroom  without  a  gas  mask.

Mike's  Side 


by  Mike  LaDdrigan 


With  only  three  starters 
back  from  last  year's 
sectional  and  regional 
championship  team,  some 
might  say  that  this  would  be 
a  rebuilding  year  for  the 
mighty  Elmhurst  baseball 
team.  To  some  extent  this  is 
true,  but  when  you  see  that 
there    are    eight    returning

lettermen,       you       might 
reverse  the  decision. 

After  having  four  weeks 
of  indoor  practice  behind 
them,  the  players  are 
anxious  to  get  out  into  the 
open  air  where  their 
practices  will  be  less 
confined.  The  next  two 
weeks  hopefully  spent 
outside  will  let  the  players 
put  into  action  much  of  what 
they  learned  in  the  indoor 
practices. 

The  Trojans'  first  games 
will  be  a  doubleheader 
against  Fairview  at 
Fairview,  Ohio,  Saturday, 
April  5.

Chosen  for  leadership, 
scholastic  achievement,  and 
outstanding     interest     in 

governmental  affairs,  junior 
Les  Novitsky  has  been 
chosen  as  Elmhurst's  1975 
candidate  to  Hoosier  Boys 

State. 

"Of  course  I'm  very 
pleased      and      honored," 


stated  Les,  adding,  "I  think 

it  will  be  a  very  worthwhile 
week  in  my  life." 


Inspires  "100%" 

Sponsored  by  the  Ameri- 
can Legion,  the  annual 
eight  day  workshop  will 
be  held  on  the  Indiana  State 
University  campus  in  Terre 


Haute  beginning  June  7. 

The  goal  of  the  week, 
according  to  the  Legion,  is 
to  "inspire  100% 

Americanism"  and  look 
upon    the    week    with    the 

young  men  from  all  over  the 
state  as  "a  week  to  shape  a 
Ufetime." 

Les  is  very  well  known  for 


Team  names  Jim  Norton  captain 


"I  felt  like  I  was  on  cloud 
nine,"  remarked  Jim  Norton 
after  being  chosen  as 
captain  of  the  wrestling 
team. 

Leadership,  attitude,  and 
the  desire  to  win  were  the 
qualities  that  each  of  the 
wrestlers  were  asked  to 
consider  when  they  voted  for 
captain.  The  coaches  also 
have  to  approve  the  choice. 

"I  kind  of  expected  it 
because  a  lot  of  my  friends 
had  told  me  1  got  it,  but  I 


didn't  know  whether  I 
should  behevethem,"  stated 
Jim. 

Jim's  record  for  the  1974- 
75    season    was     13-8.    He 


Norton 

received   a   fouTth   place  in 
sectionals.  Jim  said  that  he 


will  be  able  to  continue 
wrestling  in  college,  though 
he  isn't  sure  exactly  where 
he's  going. 

There  will  be  two  other 
awards  given  to  wrestlers. 
The  wrestler  with  the  best 
attitude  and  the  most 
improved  player  will  receive 
awards  also,  but  the  names 
have  not  been  announced 
yet.  All  three  wrestling 
awards  will  be  presented  at 
the  Awards  Banquet  in 
May.

Tracksters   set  goals 
for  upcoming  season 


Girls  f rack  opens  Isf  season 


Spring  sports  have  started,  and  one  of  them  is  track  and 
field.  The  turnout  is  small,  but  above  average  for  Elmhurst, 
according  to  eleven-year  coach,  Mr.  Donald  Kemp. 

Mr.  Kemp  states,  "This  year  we  have  a  possible  12  to  14 
kids  who  could  go  to  state  competition.  Senior  Paul  Stevens 
has  a  good  chance  to  set  a  new  school  record  in  the  two  mile- 
-he  ran  a  9:49  which  is  exceptionally  good  this  early  in  the 
year." 

This  year's  squad  will  attempt  to  outdo  Harding  March 
27,  at  the  Elmhurst  track.  Coach  Kemp's  squad  is  strongest 
in   the   sprint  and   distance  heats   where  competition  is 


Nineteen  seventy  five  is 
the  first  year  that  Fort 
Wayne  city  schools  will  see 
any  competition  in  the  area 
of  girls'  track  and  field. 

The  EHS  girls'  track  team 
recently  began  their 
conditioning  to  prepare  for 
their  first  meet  against 
Snider  and  Northside  on 
April  16. 

Each  day  at  2:45,  they 
meet  in  the  girls'  gym  to 
exercise  and  warm-up  with 
the  boys  track  team.  Since 


cold  weather  keeps  them 
from  running  outside  they 
usually  work  out  in  the 
weight  room,  or  practice 
sprints  in  the  halls.  Mrs. 
Cathy  Russell,  coach  of  the 
team,  explains,  "The  boys' 
coaches  have  aided  greatly 
in  helping  the  girls  with 
their  techniques  and  style. 

There  will  be  nine  running 
events  the  girls  can 
participate  in.  The  field 
events  include  the  shot  put 
(8  lbs.),  the  high  jump,  the 


"I  think  records  will  be 
set  if  the  weather  is  good," 
states  Coach  Kemp,  "and  it 
should  be  a  good  meet 
because  Harding  has 
improved  and  we  can  see 
what  the  team  does  in  live 
competition." 

In  past  years  Coach 
Kemp's  team  has  had 
success  but  as  yet  no  first 
place  ribbons  have  come 
home  with  the  team.  The  co- 
holder  of  the  1:27.8  state 
record  in  880-yard  relay  is 
the  best  place  yet  attained 
by  an  Elmhurst  squad.  This 
record  was  set  in  1972  by  the 
880-year  relay  team  of  Nate 
Brown,  Ron  Talley,  Fred 
Jackson,  and  Willie  Knox.

The  girls'  tennis  team  is  at  it  again  for  the  third  straight 
year.  The  team  has  been  practicing  since  March  3,  from  2:45 
to  4:00  in  the  girls'  gym  on  conditioning  and  getting  down 
the  basic  strokes.  Any  girl  who  is  interested  may  still  come 
out,  according  to  Coach  Lucy  Doswell. 

Mrs.  Doswell  is  very  happy  with  the  turnout  of  this  year's 
team.  A  total  of  25  girls,  12  upperclassmen  and  13 
sophomores,  have  turned  out.  However,  only  four  girls  are 
returning  from  last  year's  team  --  Sally  Hinton,  Janet  Gillie, 
Cheryl  Norton  and  Marty  Kelly. 

"We  are  hoping  to  be  able  to  use  the  tennis  courts  this 
spring,  if  they  ever  get  the  posts  right,"  stated  Mrs. 
Doswell.  It  seems  that  the  posts  which  support  the  tennis 
nets  are  three  inches  too  short,  and  it  wouldn't  do  the  girls 
any  good  to  start  playing  with  the  nets  at  that  height. 

In  past  years  at  Elmhurst  the  girls  tennis  teams  haven't 
done  too  well,  but  with  all  the  talent  and  experience  they 
have  this  year,  it  should  be  a  promising  season. 


Softball    throw,    and    the 
running  long  jump. 

Coach  Russell  was  very 
pleased  at  the  turnout  for 
track  and  feels  that 
Elmhurst  will  have  a  lot  of 
good  talent  for  the  oncoming 
season.

Heiney  makes  regionals 


For  most  of  the  gymnastics  team 
the  season  has  ended,  but 
sophomore  Karyn  Heiney  has 
advanced  to  Regionals. 

This  year's  gymnastic  sectionals 
were  held  at  Northrop  on  March  10- 
11.  Elmhurst  took  a  full  t«am  of  12 
members  hoping  to  improve 
standing  over  last  year's  showing. 
Of  the  twelve  team  members,  only 
Karyn  Heiney  placed  second  on  her 
optional  vaulting,  and  will  move  on 


I      1 

to  regionals  on  March  21.  at 
Blackford  High  School  in 
IndianapoUs.  Karyn  also  managed 
to  place  third  all  around. 

In  overall  competition,  twelve 
teams  entered,  South  Side, 
Northrop,  Snider,  and  Wayne 
dominated  the  n^eet  by  taking  all 
but  one  of  the  first  four  places. 

One  Elmhurat  team  member 
stated  "The  team  is  good  but  when 
you  actually  get  out  to  do  your 


routirte  you  just  fall  apart. "  Another 
added  "Karyn  Heiney  showed  great 
potential  at  sectionals.  If  she  does 
as  well  at  regionals,  she  could  place 
instate.  We  are  hopeful. " 

The  team  has  been  practicing 
hard  since  November.  Each  girl  set  a 
goal  for  herself  to  achieve  by  the  end 
of  the  season.  For  some,  it  was  a 
particular  stunt,  for  others  winning 
sectionals.  Now,  for  the  team  as  a 
whole  it's  a  hope  for  Karyn  to 
advance  on  and  place  in  state.

Cashman  selects  two  for  FWWB 


Two  Elmhurst  girls,  senior  Liz  Kerns  and 
junior  Barb  Harman,  were  recently 
appointed  by  guidance  counselor  Mrs.  Dinah 
Cashman  to  the  newly  formed  High  School 
Women's  Advisory  Committee  to  the  Fort 
Wayne  Women's  Bureau  (FWWB  I, 

The  two  will  meet  periodically  with  two 
girls  representing  every  city  high  school  and 
members  of  the  Fort  Wayne  Women's 
Bureau.  Through  these  meetings,  the  group 
hopes  to  achieve  an  improvement  in  the  ■ 
status  of  women  both  economically  and 
educationally,  and  to  be  able  to  come  back  to 
their  respective  schools  ofter  meeting  with 
other  high  school  girls  and  the  FWWB.  and 
encourage  female  classmates  to  meet  and 
discuss  the  purpose  of  the  advisory 
committee  and  how  it  can  help  them. 

The  first  such  meeting  was  Monday 
evening.  April  7  Botn  Barb  ond  Liz  attended 


this  organizational  meeting  in  which  the 
group  discussed  forms  of  discrimination 
against  women  and  how  they  can  be 
eliminated.  One  topic  of  discrimination 
against  women  the  group  discussed  was  the 
selection  of  junior  Rotarians  chosen  to 
represent  high  schools  monthly  at  the 
Rotary  Club  luncheons.  In  the  past  only 
senior  male  students  were  chosen,  but 
recently  a  few  schools  have  included  female 
students  in  the  Rotary  Club's  list  of  luncheon 
guests. 

Commenting  on  her  appointment  to  the 
Bureau  Liz  explained.  "I  think  that  it's 
really  great:  things  are  finally  moving  in  the 
right  direction  for  women.  1  really  wish  that  1 
was  a  sophomore  or  junior  instead  of  a  senior 
so  that  I  could  have  been  introduced  to  this 
sooner  and  would  have  more  time  involved  in

Commenting  on  her  reaction  to  the  IHEA 
selection  of  this  year's  Lamplighter  award, 
Mrs,  Bradburn  stated.  "1  was  very  much 
overwhelmed!  1  feel  that  this  is  a  once  in  a 
lifetime  award  and  it's  not  very  often  that 
one's  efforts  and  hardwork  are  pubUcly 
recognized."  She  went  on  to  declare,  "This 
award  confirms  to  me  that  it  has  been  worth 
it  and  I'll  do  my  best  to  continue  my  efforts." 

Club  plans  dance 

Yes,  a  dance  is  coming!  The  Y- 
Teens  club  will  be  sponsoring  a 
Sadie  Hawkins  Day  Dance  on  April 
25  from  7:30  to  10:30  in  the  evening. 

Tickets  will  be  on  sale  in  the 
cafeteria  for  $1  per  person  a  week 
before  the  dance. 

The  purpose  of  the  Sadie  Hawkins 
Day  Dance  is  to  raise  money  for  the 
Y-Teens,  a  club  working  for  a  civic 
cause  Another  purpose  is  to  give 
each  girl  a  chance  to  ask  that  special 
guy  to  be  her  date  for  the  dance. 
Music  will  be  provided  by  the 
Whispers. 

Club  president  Holly  Miller 
commented,  "With  all  the  spirit 
that  the  students  have  shown  this 
year,  we're  all  hoping  that  they'll 
get  really  involved  with  this.  Also 
that  day  is  the  Student  Council  Fun 
Day  and  everyone  should  be  in  a 
good  mood.  I'm  sure  anyone  that 
comes  will  have  a  fantastic  time."

The  American  Field  Service,  one 
of  the  most  active  clubs  at  school, 
has  been  and  will  be  busy  with 
several  projects. 

Because  the  organization  needs  to 
raise  over  $2000  to  help  sponsor 
exchange  students,  the  past  three 
activities  have  been  money-raising. 
A  paper  drive  in  February,  a 
basketball  game  March  25,  and  a 
volleyball  night  April  10  all  brought 
good  profits.  Also  to  help  earn 
money  the  club  has  been  conducting 
a  penny  collection  in  homerooms. 
According  to  treasurer  Mary  Roop, 
these  small  donations  by  the 
students,  faculty  and 


administration  have  helped 
considerably.  A  final  paper  drive  is 
tentatively  scheduled  for  May. 

Coming  up  April  25-27,  Elmhurst 
is  sponsoring  an  AFS  Weekend. 
Twenty  exchange  students  and  their 
American  brothers  and  sisters  from 
around  this  part  of  Indiana  will  be 
staying  with  Elmhurst  families.  The 
group  is  invited  to  attend  a  dance 
sponsored  by  Y-Teens  that  Friday 
evening.  On  Saturday,  the  students 
and  their  hosts  will  take  a  trip  to 
Fox  Island  in  the  afternoon  and  be 
guests  at  a  party  for  them  in  the 
evening.

Even  though  a  violent  storm  beset  Fort 
Wayne  on  Friday,  April  18,  the  first  annuel 
Ebnhurst  Afro-American  Club  Fashion  and 
Talent  Show  was  far  from  under  the  weather. 

Drawing  a  crowd  of  approximately  300 
people,  the  evening  began  with  the  fashion 
portion  of  the  program.  Host  and  hostess 
Domingo  Alvarez  and  Frances  Walker 
provided  commentaries  for  models  wearing 
varying  fashion  styles.  Among  the  different 
styles  modeled  were  swim  wear,  formal  wear, 
and  sleep  wear.

period  for  those  students  interested  in 
running  for  a  student  council  office. 
Elections  will  be  held  in  homeroom  May  14 
(tentative)  and  the  results  would  be 
announced  by  May  16. 

The  procedure  for  running  is  to  decide  the 
office  desired  and  then  to  pick  up  a  petition 
sheet  from  Mr.  John  Coahran  after  the  first 
of  May.  The  petition  requires  five  signatures 
from  the  faculty  and  60  signatures  from  the 
student  body. 

Some  requirements  for  the  offices  are  that 
the  president  of  the  student  councU  shall 
come  from  the  junior  class;  the  vice- 
president  and  the  secretary -tree  surer  may 
come  from  either  the  junior  or  the  sophomore 
classes.  Passing  grades  in  every  class  are 
also  a  requirement,  elthough  special 
exceptions  may  be  granted  by  the  principal, 
according  to  Article  III,  Section  2.  of  the 
Student  Council  Constitution.  January  grads 
are  not  allowed  to  run  for  the  above- 
mentioned  offices  but  they  can  still  hold  the 
position  of  representative. 


Models,  who  consisted  of  Afro-American 
Club  members,  also  included  several 
members  of  the  EHS  teaching  staff;  Mr 
John  Bunnell,  Mrs,  Shelley  Wellington,  Mr, 
Richard  Mattix,  Miss  Sharon  Dietrich,  and 
Mrs.  Noncy  Kelley. 

Following  the  fashion  show,  senior  Sarah 
Underwood  presented  Afro-American  Club 
Sponsor  Mrs,  Sharon  Banks  with  a  bouquet 
of  flowers  and  presented  art  director  Mr  Don 
Goss  with  a  gift,  for  their  help  and 
cooperation  in  organizing  the  program. 

After  a  16-minut«  intermission,  the  talent

began. 

Judges  were  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Mark

Feet  walk  against 


Once  again  there  will  be  a  walk  in 
Fort  Wayne  to  raise  money  for  the 
hungry  of  the  world  —  this  time  it  will 
be  run  under  a  new  name. 

Last  year  there  was  no  walk  and 
young  people  from  around  the  city 
inquired  what  had  happened  to  the 
endeavor.  Well,  this  year  these  veteran 
walkers'  inquiries  will  be  answered 
with  the  Hunger  Walk  organized  by 
Friends  of  the  Third  World. 

Name  changes,  goals  continue 

Walk  participants  from  previous 
years  may  be  puzzled  over  the  name 
and  remember  the  days  of  the  Walk  for 
Development  sponsored  by  Youth  for 
Development.  The  name  change  came 
after  the  national  organization,  Youth 
for  Development,  died  out  and  Fort 
Wayne  members,  desiring  to  continue 
the  work,  set  up  the  local  Friends  of 
the  Third  World.  The  goals  have 
remained  intact. 

Proceeds  from  this  year's  walk  will 
be  divided  in  three  categories  for 
distribution.  Forty-five  percent  of  the 
money  will  go  toward  building  food 
storage  bins  to  protect  stored  crops, 
and  plows  in  Ghana,  Africa.  This  part 
of  Africa  is  expected  to  increase  its 


improvements. 

Local  groups  split  profits 

Locally,  two  groups  will  split 
another  45%.  Half  will  go  to  the  Benito 
Juarez  Center.  The  Benito  Juarez 
Center  will  use  their  money  to  help 
people  to  get  jobs,  counseUng,  and 
education. 

The  Martin  Luther  King  Center  will 
use  their  money  to  provide  help  to  the 
elderly,  educational  services, 
emergency  food,  and  recreation  to 
people  of  Fort  Wayne's  East  Central 
Neighborhood.  The  emergency  help  is 
given  until  the  families  become  self- 
sustaining. 

The  remaining  10%  of  the  walk 
proceeds  will  help  sustain  the  Third 
World  Center  and  expand  its  inventory 
of  handicrafts  and  books.  The  profits 
from  these  sales  go  to  needy  people  in 
Fort  Wayne. 

The  Hunger  Walk  covers  twenty-six 
miles  starting  and  ending  in  Franke 
Park  on  April  19.  Much  the  same  route 
will  be  followed  as  in  1971,  the  most 
successful  year  for  the  walk  in  this 
city.  Registration  cards  are  available 
at  the  Third  World  Center,  428  E. 
Berry  and  in  the  Eimhurst  cafeteria 


food    supply    by    50%    with    these        during  lunch  mods.

Many  Trojans  wilJ  be  helping  out 
in  various  phases  of  the  upcoming 
third  annual  March  of  Dimes  Bike- 
A-Thon. 

Mr.  Jim  Welborn  will  be 
organizing  checkpoint  workers, 
utilizing  the  skills  of  various 
[oembers  of  the  faculty  and  the 
student  body.  This  is  Mr. 
Welborn's  second  year  assisting 
this  event. 

Youth  participation  sought 

Many  students  plan  on  riding  in 


the  Bike-A-Thon.  According  to 
March  of  Dimes  executive  director 
Mrs.  Sherry  Postich,  participation 
from  area  youth  in  the  project  is 
fundamental  to  its  success.  Last 
year,  a  total  of  220  cyclists  brought 
in  $4,000.  Mrs.  Postich  hopes  that 
increased  enthusiasm  within  the 
young  adult  age  bracket  will 
greatly  increase  the  event's 
income. 

The  Bike-A-Thon  will  start  at

Seniors  hear  speahers 


Ms.  Sonya  Modesitt  and  Mrs. 
Phyllis  Morken  have  basically  a  lot 
in  common.  They  are  both  female, 
both  have  children  and  they  both 
have  strong  feelings  on  two 
controversial  issues. 

Ms.  Modesitt,  former 

broadcaster  for  WGL,  spoke  to  Mr. 
Glenn  Miller's  sociology  classes  on 
Thursday,  April  19.  Ms.  Modesitt 
talked  on  women's  rights  and  the 
Equal  Rights  Amendment. 
Speaking  from  a  very  non-militant 
viewpoint,  Ms.  Modesitt  promoted 
the  passage  of  the  age-old  sex 
equality  act. 

■■I  thought  the  program  was  very 
pertinent  to  women's  role  in 
\merica  today,"  said  senior 
Wendy  Keim.  "She  was  weU  versed 


and  interesting." 

Mrs.  Morken  and  Mrs,  Phyllis 
Alvia  spoke  to  Mr.  John  Bunnell's 
classes  on  the  following  Friday 
about  abortion.  These  women  were 
from  Nurses  Concerned  for  Life, 
and  both  are  registered  nurses. 
After  a  number  of  slides,  the  nurses

All  of  the  ladies  took  time  from

victories    over    the    New    Haven 
Bulldogs  last  Saturday, 

In  the  first  game  senior  Dave 
Campbell  pitched  himself  out  of 
jams  with  the  potential  tying  and 
wimiing  runs  at  third  base  and 
second  respectively.  The  final  tally.

With  the  season  barely 
under  way,  Elmhurst's  golf 
team  has  been  struggling 
against  their  early 
opponents.  Last  Thursday, 
April  24,  Elmhurst  dropped 
all  of  their  matches  against 
Snider,  North  Side,  and 
Bishop  Luers  at  Riverbend 
to  sink  to  a  record  of  one 
win,  five  losses.  A  total  of 
184  was  posted  by 
Elmhurst,  which  wasn't 
nearly  enough  to  defeat  the 


three  foes. 

Junior  Jim  McCleneghen 
stroked  a  42  for  the  best 
Elmhurst  score  of  the  day, 
followed  by  junior  Mark 
Newell  with  a  46,  Senior  Jim 
Norton  had  a  47  while 
seniors  George  Huber  and 
Mike  Arnold  ended  with  a  49 
and  50  respectively. 

At  the  April  22  golf 
match,  Elmhurst  gained  its 
only  victory  as  a  result  of  a 
forfeit  by  Harding.  At  that 


same    meet, 

slightly  better,  as 

McCleneghen  scored  42, 
Arnold  46,  Norton  45,  and 
Newell  46. 

Even  though  Elmhurst 
hasn't  come  very  close  yet, 
Mr.  Nick  Werling,  golf 
coach,  commented,  "When 
our  boys  begin  playing  like 
they  should,  things  will  be 
better."

^ent  over  need-x  ^Financial  status^ 

Lk      by  Cindy  Ro8B  '        hv  LesUe  Collier  ^J0 


g\^      by  Cindy  Ross 

>A  person  who  has  financial  need 
can  certainly  go  to  college  if  he  so 
^^V       desires.  How?  Loans,  grants,  and 
^y       scholarships.   But  what  about  an 
^pgp       only  child  who  shows  outstanding 
^^^g       academic     achievement     in     high 

O       school,  but  whose  parents  make  a 
gross  annual  income  of  $18,000  to 
^^^"       822,000?  He  has  very  little  chance 
^^       of  financial  help. 

Although  the  only  child's  family 
- -^  doesn't  have  pressing  financial 
^^w       problems  at  the  moment,  if  they 

a    attempt  to  put  their  child  through 
college,  they  will  have  difficulties 

^^B  making  ends  meet  if  they  receive  no 
outside  financial  help.  There  should 
'be  some  means  of  financial  aid  for 
families  in  this  situation  and 
scholarships  should  be  that  means. 


At  present,  scholarships  are 
awarded  for  about  anything.  At 
Indiana  University,  there  are  216 
different  scholarships  ranging  from 
S25  to  S2.000.  most  of  which  have 
little  or  no  academic  requirements. 
Many  require  graduation  from  a 
certain  high  school,  a  promise  to 
major  in  a  certain  field,  or  simply 
being  of  a  certain  race  or  creed.  It  is 
not  necessary  for  a  person  to  prove 
that  he  has  what  it  takes  to  make  it 
in  college,  namely  ambition  and 
academic  achievement. 
Scholarships  should  be  given  to 
people  that  have  already  shown 
these  characteristics  during  high 


(O

■'school. 

What  about  people  who  have  a 
desperate  financial  need  and  a 
strong  desire  for  college,  but  whose 
records  may  not  qualify  them  for  a 
purely  academic  scholarship? 
There  are  thousands  of  different 
loans  available,  up  to  S7,500 
annually  for  under-graduates,  at  as 
low  as  3  per  cent  interest  repayable 
over  a  ten-year  period.  Local,  state 
and  federal  grants  are  also  easily 
obtainable  up  to  SIO.OOO,  and  these 
require  no  repayment.  In  1974, 
5658.7  million  worth  of  federal 
grants  were  awarded  nationwide. 

Awarding  scholarships  to 
scholars  and  using  loans  for  those 
with  real  financial  need  and  not 
meeting  the  grant  standards  would 
help  insure  that  scholarship  money 
would  not  be  wasted.  If  a 
scholarship  were  given  based  solely 
on  financial  need,  and  after  one 
year  of  college  the  person 
discovered  that  he  couldn't  make 
it,  that  money  was  totaUy  wasted. 
Taking  out  a  loan  and  knowing  that 
it  has  to  be  repaid  provides  added 
incentive  for  study  and  completion 
of  college. 

With  so  many  people  who  want 
higher  education  and  so  little 
money  to  go  around,  what  money 
there  is  should  be  put  to  its  most 
constructive  use. 


by  Leslie  Collier 

During  this  time  of  what  seems 
to  be  non-stop  inflation,  the 
thought  of  paying  for  a  college 
education  may  end  up  to  be  no 
more  than  a  thought  ...  a  wish  ..,  a 
dream .,  ora  hope. 

The  fact  is  that  there  are  many 
high  school  students  throughout 
the  country  who  are  being  deprived 
of  desperately  wanted  college 
educations,  WHY?  Because  they 
are  financially  unable  to  receive 
them. 

It  is  the  dream  of  many  young 
people  to  get  a  college  degree. 
Many  work  twelve  long,  hard  years 
to  prepare  for  college  and  upon 
graduation  from  high  school  are 
suddenly  confronted  with  the 
realization  that  they  can't  afford  a 
college  degree.  Should  that  end 
their  dream,  simply  because  they 
cannot  pay  for  college  expenses? 
Should  the  academically  superior 
student  settle  for  a  high  school 
diploma  when  he  is  capable  of 
obtaining  a  college  degree  with 
financial  assistance?  These 
questions  and  many  others  are 
confronting  high  school  students 
considering  college.  The  answers  to 
them  are  not  as  obvious  as  they 
may  appear. 

One  important  factor  is  the  type 
of  counseling  a  student  receives 
during  his  high  school  years. 
Although    no   student    should    be 


pushed  towards  a  higher  education 
which  he  doesn't  want,  those  who 
do  desire  further  education  should 
receive  encouragement.  Many 
students  do  not  receive  any 
encouragement  whatsoever  at 
home,  so  it  is  up  to  the  school  to 
provide  it  for  them.  Providing  this 
encouragement  may  fall  into  many 
different  forms,  such  as  counseling 
on  what  college  to  attend  or  how  to 
qualify  for  various  scholarships, 
grants,  and  loans  or  tuition,  cost  of 
materials,  etc. 
Putting  the  mone>  to  use 

Many  students  are  left  with  the 
impression  that  if  they  don't  have  a 
99,9%  grade  average  they  can  kiss 
a  scholarship  goodbye.  Well,  not 
too  long  ago  this  was  true,  but 
scholarships  are  now  becomming 
available  to  students  more  on  the 
basis  of  their  financial  need. 
Universities  such  as  Western 
Kentucky,  Harvard,  University  of 
Chicago,  New  York  University  and 
many  others  are  now  offering  these 
types  of  scholarships.  Just  because 
a  student  was  not  on  the  honor  roll 
for  four  straight  years  does  not 
mean  that  he  has  no  potential. 
Given  the  chance  (which  is  what 
these  types  of  scholarships  do|, 
many  students  who  would  have 
stopped  with  a  high  school  diploma 
continue  their  educations  and 
become  very  useful  to  society.

10 • Feature 


Time  for 


A  great  sport  for  getting  a  lot  of 
people  together  is  softball.  A  group 
of  about  10  or  15  people  (preferably 
those  who  know  how  to  play,  but  not 
necessarily  needed)  is  all  it  takes  to 
start  a  game.  Although  knowing 
how  to  play  helps,  not  knowing  how 
can  often  provide  some  comic  relief 
to  the  afternoon. 

Contrary  to  popular  belief,  some 
of  the  best  softball  players  in  the 
city  are  female.  Many  churches  and 
groups  have  organized  girls'  softball 
teams  and  they  have  subsequently 
become  some  of  the  top  area  players. 

Diamonds  are  available  all  over 
the  city.  All  the  city  parks  and 
almost  all  the  schools  have  them,  so 
access  is  unlimited.  Even  if  these  are 
full,  a  diamond  can  easily  be  mapped 
out  on  any  large  area. 

Softball,  therefore,  is  a  sport  for 
everyone  and  for  an  enjoyable 
afternoon. 


Bicycling 

P  Bicycling  is  invariably  one  of  the 
most  popular  choices  for  spending  a 
spring  or  summer  day.  The  sport 
offers  something  for  practically 
everyone  --■  from  sightseers  to 
exercise  fanatics  to  ecologists. 

Fort  Wayne  has  in  recent  years 
designed  several  bike  paths.  The 
closest  of  these  is  the  one  that  starts 
and  ends  at  Foster  Park  making  a 
circle  through  the  downtown  area. 
The  north  end  of  town  has  a  similar 
path  system. 

Those  really  involved  in  the  sport 
may  choose  to  take  cross  country 
trips  or  may  even  choose  to 
compete.  These  two  events  are 
continually  gaining  in  popularity 
and  many  clubs  have  been  started, 
both  locally  and  nationally  for  those 
interested  in  both.  One  of  these. 
Taylor  University's  "Wandering 
Wheels",  has  a  sizeable  membership 
in  this  area. 

All  in  all,  bicycling  is  basically  a 
sport  for  everyone,  whether  it  be  a 
simple  hobby  or  a  strongly 
competitive  sport. 


Kite  flying 

One  of  the  most  enjoyable 
diversions  of  spring  is  kite  flying  — 
particularly  on  those  days  when  the 
weather  is  near  perfect,  but  with 
enough  wind  to  keep  most  other 
activities  from  being  fun. 

Interesting  kites  serve  to  make 
the  sport  not  only  fun,  but  beautiful 
to  watch.  Lately,  many  new  designs 
have  been  developed  such  as  the  25 
and  47  foot  long  metaUic  snake 
kites.  Others  come  in  various 
geometrical  shapes  such  as  cones, 
pyramids  and  cylinders  as 
variations  on  the  well-known  box 
kite.  Last,  but  certainly  most 
popular,  is  the  standard  diamond 
shape  kite. 

Since  kites  are  relatively 
inexpensive  and  can  be  obtained  at 
toy  stores  and  many  dime  stores, 
they  make  for  a  good  opportunity  to 
get  outside  and  enjoy  spring.  All 
thafs  needed  is  a  lot  of  string,  a 
good  solid  kite,  and  a  Uttle  energy  to 
make  an  afternoon  exciting. 


.  spring  fun 


Frisbee 

Several  years  ago  (and  it's  been  a 
few),  no  one  knew  what  a  frisbee 
was.  Today,  everyone  knows,  and 
thousands  of  people  play  -■  so  many 
in  fact,  that  it  is  popular  enough  to 
have  world  championship 

competition. 

Frisbee,  unfortunately,  is  one  of 
those  games  that  can't  be  played  on 
a  windy  day  —  unless  of  course  a 
person  wants  to  play  alone,  that  is, 
since  the  wind  usually  causes  the 
frisbee  to  boomerang  back  to  the 
player.  However,  on  any  normal 
day,  the  game  can  usually  prove 
exciting  or  relaxing,  depending  on 
the  energy  of  the  players. 

Frisbee  does  offer  a  lot  of 
advantages  over  other  sports.  For 
example,  it  doesn't  need  either  a 
playing  field  or  a  whole  lot  of  area.  It 
also  doesn't  require  a  whole  lot  of 
skill    and    is    a    fairly    inexpensive 


sport. 


12 -Editorial 


To  the  Editor: 

I  know  this  is  a  top  c  that 
has  been  talked  about 
before,  but  it  still  seens  that 
nothing  has  been  done  about 
it.  I'm  talking  about  the 
girls'  equipment  in  the  gym. 
Not  just  the  gymnastics 
equipment,  but  all  the  girls' 
equipment.  To  start  out.  the 
gym  itself  is  inadequate,  It 
is  too  small  to  really  do 
anything  in. 

The         gymnastics 


Oirls'  athletic  equipment  needs  improving 


equipment  is  ready  to  fall 
apart  any  moment.  The  girls 
have  to  keep  tightening  the 
bars  every  time  they  use 
them,  so  they  can  just  sit  on 
them  without  falling  off. 
The  mats  they  use  under  the 
beam  are  terrible,  the  covers 
are  all  ripped  so  that  the 
foam  is  falling  out  all  over. 
The  beam  is  really  wiggly 
and  sticky.  The  least  they 
could  do  is  get  something  to 
clean  it  off.

parks  attract  campers 


Since  the  days  of 
urbanized  society,  camping 
has  been  an  escape  from  the 
city  life.  The  youth  are 
among  those  people  that 
resort  to  the  country  ude  for 
relief  from  the  routine. 

Among  those  parks  with 
large  numbers  of  campsites 
are  Chain  O'  Lakes  near 
Albion,  Dunes  at 

Chesterton,  Pokagon  of 
Angola,  Turkey  Run  near 
Marshall,  and  Salamonie 
Reservoir  by  Huntington. 
All  of  these  places  except 
Salamonie  have  tenting 
areas  for  young  people. 

Chain  O'  Lakes  is  a  group 
of  nine  connecting  natural 
lakes.  It  has  a  pubhc  beach 
and  a  modem  campground. 
Boats  are  available  for 
rental  and  fishing  is 
welcome. 

Indiana  Dunes  State  Park 
is  further  from  Fort  Wayne 
than  Chain  O'  Lakes  --  about 
a  three  hour  drive.  Its  main 
attraction  is  the  sand  which 
makes  for  three  miles  of 
beach.  There  is  some  dense 
forest  within  the  park  which 
attracts  nature  lovers. 

Pokagon  brings  in  quite  a 
few  campers  and 


recreationists  from  Fort 
Wayne.  Almost  any 
camping  activity  can  be 
accommodated  there.  People 
bring  in  horses  to  ride  the 
trails  and  horses  can  also  be 
rented.  Pokagon  is  also  a 
place  for  the  winter  sports  of 
skating,  toboganing  and  ice- 
boating. 

Sugar  Creek  lies  at  the 
bottom  of  canyons  and 
gorges  at  Turkey  Run  and 


contains  many  species  of 
fish.  The  park  has  bridle  and 
hiking  paths  through  its 
thick  woods. 

Salamonie  Reservoir  is 
the  center  of  a  large  park. 
Boating  is  very  popular 
there  and  boats  can  be 
launched  or  rented. 
Hunting,  not  allowed  in 
many  Indiana  parks,  can  be 
found  at  Salamonie  as  well 
as  swimming,  fishing  and 
picnicking.

Tracksters  have  meet 


zr<. 


UNDER 

practices 


THE  direction  of  coach  Lucy  Doswell  the  girls  tenn, 
daily  preparing  for  their  upcoming  season. 


After  practicing  and 
working  out  for  the  past 
month,  the  girls  track  team 
is  ready  to  take  on  Snider 
and  North  Side  tonight  in 
their  first  meet  of  the 
season. 

Coach  Cathy  Russell  feels 
that  there  was  a  good 
turnout  at  the  beginning  of 
the  season,  but  because  of 
work  and  transportation 
problems  many  of  the  girls 


have  had  to  quit.  This  left 
only  14  girls,  not  near  as 
many  as  are  needed  to  make 
a  strong  team. 

The  girls  practiced  all 
through  spring  vacation, 
but  unfortunately,  weather 
conditions  did  not  favor 
them.  Mrs.  Russell  stated 
that  most  of  the  girls  are 
"fair  weather  runners",  and 
so  when  it  is  cold  and  damp 
outside  they  lack  the 
enthusiasm  and  spirit  to  do 


a  good  job. 

With  girls  track  still  in  its 
first  year  in  Fort  Wayne 
Community  Schools,  Mrs. 
Russell  does  not  know  what 
kind  of  competition  they  will 
be  up  against.  However,  she 
stated  the  girls  who  are  out 
look  very  promising. 

Their  next  meet  will  take 
place  on  April  21,  against 
Concordia  and  South  Side  at 
Concordia. 


Tennis  team  prepares  for  season 


For  the  past  six  weeks  the 
girls'  tennis  team  has  been 
hitting  the  courts  diligently 
in  preparation  for  the 
Upcoming  season. 

Coach  Lucy  Doswell 
stresses  self  apphcation  in 
practice,  stating,  "You 
don't  go  out  for  a  sport 
unless  you  enjoy  it."  She 
gives  pointers  here  and  there 
to  the  members  who  are  still 
getting  the  basics  of  the 
game  down,  but  leaves  it  up 
to  the  individual  as  to  what 
needs  practice. 

Bad  weather  has  cost 
Tiany  valuable  days  on  the 


courts  though,  as  snow, 
rain,  and  icy  wind  have  kept 
the  team  confined  indoors. 
Their  space  is  limited 
because  of  the  many  other 
sports  going  on. 
Essentials  explained 

Practice  includes  a  variety 
of  skills.  A  strong, 
consistent  serve  is  especially 
important  in  a  singles  game. 
Doubles  takes  two  people 
who  have  played  together 
enough  so  they  know  just 
when  and  where  their 
partner  will  be.  Net  play  is 
important  here,  since  the 
area  being  covered  is  much 
less  per  person  than  in 
singles.    Shots    are    shorter 


and  the  girls  practice 
playing  the  net  in 
preparation  for  this.  But  a 
smooth,  consistent,  and  well 
followed  through  shot  is 
essential  to  both  games. 
Just  practicing  strokes 
against  the  board  improves 
one's  game  so  both  boards 
are  used  a  lot. 

It's  only  the  third  year  of 
competition  for  the  tennis 
team,  so  it  lacks  experience. 
Nevertheless,  when  the 
players  go  against  Dwenger 
on  April  23,  at  Elmhurst, 
they  will  have  weeks  of 
training  behind  them. 
They're  looking  forward  to  a 
good  season.

School    system   offers    seniors 
government   class    alternatives 


Recently,  the  social 
studies  department  of 
Elmhurst  has  added  some 
sociology  alternatives  to  its 
curriculum,  and  now,  during 
the  summer,  senior  students 
of  the  Fort  Wayne 
Community  Schools  will  be 
able  to  take  advantage  of 
alternatives  to  the 
traditional  government 
class. 

iDtems  learn,  observe 

One  of  these  alternatives 
is  the  Local  Government 
Intern  Program.  It  is  a  four 
week  summer  school  course 
which  will  meet  throughout 
the  city  in  places  such  as  in 
the  library  and  city-county 
building.  The  idea  behind 
the  program  is  to  give  the 
participants  the  chance  to 
leam  about  the  government 
through  first-hand 
experience.  Trials  and 
hearings  will  be  observed, 
speakers  heard  and  research 
will  be  done  in  the  library. 
Daily  logs  of  activities  and 
library  research  will  be 
required. 

Reading    and    discusaion 


will  still  be  included  in  this 
variation  of  the  government 
class  but  personal 

observation  will  allow  the 
students  to  see  how  the 
government  works  and 
relate  local  issues  to 
national  ones. 
Students  to  visit  D.C. 

The  Government-Lab 
?9minar  will  provide  Fort 
Wayne  seniors  with  the 
opportunity  to  have  a 
special  experience  as  well  as 
a  change  in  the  traditional 
class.  Three  weeks  of  the 
four  will  be  spent  doing 
reading  and  researching  in  a 
North  Side  classroom.  One 
of  the  weeks  however,  the 
group  will  be  observing  the 
Federal  Government  in 
Washington,  D.C. 

The  trip  will  get  underway 
on  Monday  morning,  July 
28,  on  a  plane  at  Baer  Field. 
From  there,  the  participants 
will  begin  five  days  filled 
with  activities  and  class 
meetings.  Sightseeing  will 
center  around  the  three 
branches  of  government; 
legislative,    iudicial    and 


executive,  as  well  as  the 
historical  and  cultural 
sights  of  Mount  Vernon, 
Kennedy  Memorial  Center 
and  the  Smithsonian 
Institute. 

Congressmen  visited 

The  offices  of  Senator 
Birch  Bayh  and 

Representative  J.  Edward 
Roush  will  be  visited  when 
the  students  explore  the 
Senate  Office  Building  and 
the  Rayburn  House  of 
Representatives  Office 
Building.  The  two 

legislative  houses  will  be  in 
session,  so  the  group  will  see 
them  in  action.  Visits  to  the 
Supreme  Court,  U.S. 
Treasury,  Department  of 
State,  Australian  Embassy, 
Department  of  Justice,  and 
Federal  Bureau  of 
Investigation  will  help  to  fill 
out  the  itinerary. 

When  the  class  returns  on 
Friday,  Aug.  1,  they  will 
resume  meeting  for  a  week 
with  their  teacher,  Mrs. 
Rose  Marie  Otte,  to  discuss 
and  analyze  what  was 
learned  in  Washington.

big  doubleheader 

^^  Onlv     two    hit<5    R'i    rn^rh     norhvohirf 


The  previously  twelfth-ranked  Elmhurst 
Trojan  baseball  team  fell  to  defeat  at  the 
hands  of  the  DeKalb  Barons  twice  last 
Saturday.  A  lack  of  offense  along  with 
defensive  and  mental  errors  led  to  the 
Trojans'  downfall. 

Senior  Dave  Campbell  was  the  starting 
pitcher  in  the  first  game  and  was  greeted 
with  a  two-run  homer  in  the  first  inning. 
After  the  first.  Dave  settled  down  fairly 
well,  giving  up  only  two  runs  during  the  rest 
of  the  game,  one  of  which  was  unearned. 
Although  Ebnhurst  managed  nine  hits  they 
scored  only  one  run.  The  final  tally  was  4-1 
DeKalb. 

In  the  second  game  Elmhurst  managed 


only  two  hits  as  Coach  Derbyshire  gave 
some  of  the  regulars  a  rest  allowing  most  of 
the  other  players  a  chance  for  action.  This 
game  also  ended  with  DeKalb  in  front.  7-1. 

Elmhurst  opened  its  season  with  an  away 
game  at  Columbia  City,  where  backed  by 
the  Diamond  Devils  they  trounced  the 
Columbia  City  Eagles  10-0  in  six  innings. 
Sophomore  Brian  Russell  delivered  the  Big 
Red's  first  run  of  the  season  with  a  run- 
scoring  triple  in  the  first  inning.  But  Brian 
was  outshone  by  junior  Terry  Smith  who 
pitched  a  one-hit  shutout  while  fanning  12 
batters.  Terry's  comment  on  the  game  was 
that  "it  was  a  team  effort  "  and  no  special 
person  was  really  responsible  for  the 
victory. 


THE  VARIOUS  e. 


inaalved  in  coaching  are  exhibited  by  Bill  Derbyshi. 


Last  Thursday,  Elmhurst 
vied  against  the  Belmont 
Braves  at  McMillen  Park  in 
very  nippy  weather. 
Although  the  weather  was 
cold  there  was  a  very  good 
turnout  of  Elmhurst  fans. 
They  were  not  to  be  denied  a 
victory  as  senior  Lynn 
Brown  hurled  7  innings  of 
three-hit  shutout  ball  while 
the  Trojans  scratched  out  a 
couple  of  runs. 

Fans  who  haven't  yet 
attended  a  Trojan  game  this 
year  will  find  a  new  face  on 
the  Ebnhurst  coaching  staff. 
Complementing  Coach  Bill 
Derbyshire  this  year  is  John 
Campbell,  Dave's  older 
brother.  John  is  student 
teaching  at  Homestead 
High  School  and  will  be 
helping  Coach  Derbyshire 
throughout   the   Big    Red's 


"'  irwnnn^ 


season.  The  vacancy  he  is 
filling  was  occupied  last 
year  by  Mr.  Warren 
Bistline,  who  was  since  gone 
into  the  business  world. 

Elmhurst  has  a  pair  of 
SAC  contests  this  week  as 
they  took  on  Snider  Tuesday 
and  challenge  North  Side 
tonight  at  Shoaff  Park.  The 
weekend  sees  the  Trojans 
traveling  to  East  Noble  for  a 
pair  of  games.  Next  week 
they  have  a  pair  of  crucial 
games  against  Northrop  and 
Luers. 

Even  though  the  Big  Red 
has  a  .500  record  as  of  now, 
the  outlook  is  bright.  The 
team  is  very  well  balanced 
with  a  combination  of  speed, 
good  hitting,  power,  good 
defense,  depth  in  pitching, 
and  fine  coaching.

Actiuities  cause  absences 


In  the  past  few  months,  there 
have  been  an  increasing  number  of 
complaints  aired  in  the  halls  and 
classrooms  of  EHS.  No,  it  is  not 
those  easily  disturbed,  opinionated 
students,  but  it  is  the  teachers  who 
have  been  displaying  their  views. 
Ironically,  it  appears  that  we,  the 
students,  have  heard  more  about  it 
than  anybody  else,  and  we  would 
ikp  to  present  our  side  of  the  coin. 

Restricting  time 

The  root  of  the  problem  is  the 
number  of  classroom  interruptions 
and    absences    caused    by    other 


activities  during  the  school  day. 
Many  a  time  have  teachers 
commented  on  homeroom  messing 
up  morning  classes,  or  yet  another 
pep  session  that  disrupts  the 
classroom  atmosphere.  There  have 
been  times  when  one  activity,  such 
as  band  or  student  council,  has 
talien  students  and  time  out  of 
other  classes,  and  teachers 
resented,  perhaps  rightfully  so,  the 
intrusion  of  their  specialty. 

However,  we,  the  students,  are  in 
one  of  the  busiest  times  of  our  lives. 
Our  hectic  schedules,  evidenced  by

the  many  vacant  bodies  staggering 
around  Elmhurst  before  spring 
break,  don't  allow  us  to  restrict 
each  absorbing  interest  to  a 
specific  amount  of  time.  Certain 
activities  simply  require  extra 
time,  and  we.  of  course,  take  the 
opportunity  to  use  it.  If  time 
during  the  day  wasn't  given  to 
those  few  that  are  involved  in 
Elmhurst  activities,  they  would 
simply  not  have  time  at  all,  and 
student  interest  would  drop. 

Not  students'  fault 

In  addition,  why  should  we  be 
the  ones  to  receive  criticism  and 
penalty  for  missing  class,  or  for 
attending  an  activity  offered  by  the 
school?  We  have  nothing  to  do  with 
whether  or  not  we  will  have  a  pep 
session,  or  when  a  concert  is  to  be 
given.  Maybe  there  is  a  student 
council,  but  we  are  not  responsible 
for  these  "interruptions",  and  can 
do  nothing  about  them. 

If  teachers  have  a  bone  to  pick, 
please  don't  throw  us  the  bone, 
because  we  do  not  decide  when 
something  is  going  to  be.  There 
must  be  a  more  effective  way  of 
making  known  one's  grievances, 
but  through  the  students  is  not  one 
of  them.

Tracksters  lack  depth 


Although  lacking  depth, 
this  year's  track  team  does 
have  possibilities.  Coached 
by  Mr.  Don  Kemp,  the  track 
men  have  only  participated 
in  three  outdoor  meets  thus 
far  because  of  bad  weather. 

On  April  8,  Elmhurst  ran 
against  Snider  and  lost  in 
overall    team    points.    But 


sophomore  Tim  Lee,  who 
won  the  half  mile  with  an 
excellent  time  of  1:58,  and 
juniors  Johnny  Bright  and 
Brad  Smith,  who  placed  in 
the  100-yard  dash,  will  give 
Elmhurst  a  chance. 

In  the  North  Side  Relays 
on  April  12,  Elmhurst 
placed  7th  out  of  16  teams 


standouts  such  as     with  20  overall  team  points. 

Students  enjoy  wrestling 

For  some  people,  Wednesday  after  school  is  a  time  to  let 
loose  their  day's  frustration.  Wrestling  has  been  their 
activity  for  the  past  four  weeks  and  it's  evident  they  enjoy 
it  by  the  fact  that  they  keep  coming  back. 

WrestUng  intramurals  are  open  to  all  students  at 
Elmhurst,  including  those  who  never  wrestled  on  a  team 
before.  The  program  is  backed  by  wrestling  Coaches  Jim 
Welborn  and  Robert  Horn.  Before  "engaging  in  combat," 
the  grapplers  must  have  a  brief  ten-minute  warm  up.  After 
that  the  wrestlers  may  challenge  anyone  to  a  match, 
including  the  undefeated  130-pound  and  the  undefeated  250- 
pound  coaches. 

The  turnout  so  far  has  been  about  25  wrestlers  per  night, 
which  is  on  the  average  about  ten  more  than  last  year.  The 
program  lasts  until  4  p.m.  each  night  and  will  continue  until 
the  end  of  the  semester. 

For  those  wishing  to  continue  to  keep  in  shape  and 
participate  in  wrestling  and  other  sports,  a  program  is 
available  this  summer.  The  year  old  program  will  include 
running  and  weightUfting  and  will  meet  for  two  hours  every 
day.  Cost  of  the  program  will  be  75  cents  per  student. 


The  sprint  relay  team 
consisting  of  senior  Darryl 
Jackson  and  juniors  Johnny 
Bright,  Bill  MazeUn  ,  and 
Brad  Smith  took  first  place 
with  a  time  of  44  seconds 
flat.  The  distance  medley 
relay  with  seniors  Paul 
Stevens  and  Rod  McDonald, 
junior  Larry  Raber,  and 
sophomore  Tim  Lee  came  in 
second  with  a  time  of  7: 52.9. 
In  the  pole  vault  junior  Jeff 
Heller  placed  fourth  with  a 
vault  of  13  feet. 

Returning  letter  men  this 
year  are  seniors  Derek  Paris, 
Dave  Boyer,  Darryl 
Jackson,  and  Paul  Stevens 
as  well  as  juniors  Dave 
Chrzan,  Jeff  Heller,  Bill 
Mazelin,  and  Larry  Raber.

To  The  Editor: 

Every  year  about  this 
time,  it  becomes  a  problem 
keeping  students  inside  the 
cafeteria  and  the  building 
during  lunch  mods.  We 
aren't  allowed  to  go  out  into 
the  court  yard  because  it's 
too  noisy  for  the  class  rooms 
around  there.  Whenever 
anyone  goes  out  there,  they 
are  told  to  get  out.  They 
can't  even  go  outside  during 
their  lunch  mod  either.  Why 
can't  there  be  a  part  of  the 
yard  where  students  could 
go  outside  to  eat  or  just  to 
relax?  There  is  a  smaU  park 
next  to  the  school.  Far 
enough  away  from  class 
rooms  where  classes  won't 
be  disturbed,  and  close 
enough  where  there  could  be 
supervision. 

Why  couldn't  there  be 
some  place  set  aside  for 
students  to  go  where  they 
can  get  outside  on  nice  days 


Why  not  eat  out  ?

"Better  season  than  last 
year"  is  the  prediction  from 
Mr.  Nick  WerUng,  Elmhurst 
golf  coach  and  history 
teacher.  In  comparison  to 
last  year,  the  team  should 
fare  quite  well,  since  last 
year's  season  brought  only 
one  victory.  While  this 
year's  team  is  hampered  by 
inexperience,  it  still  stacks 


up       better       than       the 
inexperience  of  last  year. 

Coach  Werling  began 
practice  sessions  last  week, 
and  among  the  22  golfers 
who  showed  up,  five  are 
returning  from  last  year's 
team.  Senior  letterman  Mike 
Arnold,  seniors  Jim  Norton 
and  George  Huber,  and 
juniors  Jim  McCleneghen 
and  Greg  Smith  return  to 
offer  their  skills.

In  relation  to  past  years, 
this  year  may  turn  out  to  be 
about  average  considering 
the  fact  that  in  past  years 
Elmhurst  has  gone  three 
years  with  only  three  losses.

Girls  place 
3rd 


In  their  first  two  matches 
of  the  season  the  girls'  track 
team  did  a  fine  job  by  taking 
third  place  in  both  meets. 

The  girls'  coach,  Mrs. 
Cathy  Russell,  states,  "We 
may  have  a  very,  very  small 
team,  but  the  girls  who  are 
competing  are  doing  a  super 
job."  She  goes  on  to  explain 
that  there  have  been  many 
situations  where  someone 
has  taken  first  place,  but 
that  there  are  just  not 
enough  girls  in  each  event  to 
take  2nd,  3rd,  and  4th 
places,  which  will  give  the 
team  the  strength  and  depth 
needed  to  win. 

So  far  this  season  there 
have  been  many  individual 
winners.  Sophomore  Angle, 
Hayden  has  come  up  with 


the  440  relay  team, 
consisting  of  Betty  and 
Bonnie  Carrion.  Evelyn 
Fowlkes  and  Angle  Hayden 
has  also  shown  two  firsts. 

The  field  events  are  also  a 
strong  part  of  the  team. 
Sophomore  shot  puter  Sue 
Frankewich  has  achieved 
both  first  and  second  places, 
whereas  long  jumper  Emma 
Bostic  has  received  a  first  in 
this  event. 

Though  the  880  medley 
team  has  not  yet  received  a 
first  place,  they  are  shaping 
up  very  nicely.  This  team 
consists  of  anchorman 
Bonnie  Carrion,  Betty 
Carrion,  Evelyn  Fowlkes, 
and  Ethel  Fowlkes. 

The  girls'  next  meet  will 
take  place  this  afternoon  at 
Paul  Harding  High  School.

Trackmen,   not  getting  it  together' 


"Just  not  getting  things 
together,"  states  track 
coach  Mr.  Don  Kemp.  Coach 
Kemp  was  referring  to  this 
year's  team  and  its  16-14 
record.  Although  the  record 
doesn't  show  it.  this  year's 
team  has  some  record- 
breakers  and  some  sectional 
qualifiers. 

The  record  breakers  of 
this  year's  team  are  senior 
Derek  Paris  and  sophomore 
Tim  Lee.  Paris  broke  the 
record  Saturday,  April  26,  in 
the  discus  throw  while  Lee 
broke  the  school  record  in 
the  880-yard  run  and  also 
has  the  city's  best  time  thus 
far. 

Other  city  placers  are  Jeff 
Heller  and  John  Stiffler  in 
the  pole  vault,  tied  for 
fourth;  John  Bright  in  the 


Waynedale 
Radiator 
Service 

6675     B/ufffon     Rd. 

747-4808 


100-yard  dash,  fifth;  and  the 
mile  relay  team,  seventh  in 
Fort  Wayne. 

Coach  Kemp  states  that 
"the  team  should  be  ready 
to  go  at  sectionals."  He 
expects  the  events  that 
Elmhurst  will  go  the 
farthest  in  are  the  pole 
vault,  220.  half-mile  and 
discus. 

One  of  the  problems  for 
this    year's    track    team    is 


depth.  The  team  has  had  a 
hard  time  finding  more 
depth  to  improve  both  the 
varsity  and  the  reserve 
squads.  Sickness  and  injury 
have  taken  their  toll  on  this 
year's  team  but  haven't  hit 
as  severely  as  other  years. 

The  team  is  also  coached 
by  former  state  champion 
runner  Mr.  Dave  Easterline 
and  Mr.  Carter  Lohr.

Patrol  Cadet  Advisory  Council,  a 
state-wide  organization,  for  two 
years,  and  works  as  an  AV 
assistant  here  at  Elmhurst.  He 
hopes  to  increase  student  interest 
through  activities.  "I  want  to 
change  the  council  from  a  self- 
contained  social  group  into  a 
planning  body  that  reflects  the 
opinions  of  the  students." 

Nancy  Beadle  has  been  a  student 
council  representative  and  a 
journalism  staff  member  for  two 
years.  She  is  a  member  of  Forum

president  of  the  club  next  year.  Her 
platform  stands  for  more  council 
support  of  clubs,  the  pubhshing  of

recognized  May  18  by  Tri-State 
College  of  Angola  for  their  winning 
entries  in  the  eighth  annual  drafting 
and  design  competition  sponsored 
by  the  college  last  February. 

In  addition  to  the  twelve  honored, 
Elmhurst  was  cited  as  the  second 
place  winning  high  school  in  Allen 
County  in  this  competition,  the  first 
being  Homestead. 

Winning  as  the  school's  highest 
entry  was  senior  Jeff  Allen.

Commenting  on  Elmhurst's 
outstanding  showing  in  the 
competition,  drafting  instructor  Mr. 
James  Lambert  explained,  "We  had 
16  entries  and  12  winners;  I  think 
this  is  a  fine  showing.  Besides 
receiving  certificates  for  their 
entries,  these  students  were 
introduced  to  the  Tri-State  College 
and  what  it  has  to  offer  them  in  the 
area  of  drafting  and  design.

Teachers'   jobs   changed 


Due  to  a  decrease  in  the  number  of 
enrollments  for  the  1975-76  school 
year,  the  Fort  Wayne  School  Board 
has  been  forced  to  make  many 
cutbacks  in  teaching  staffs 
throughout  the  entire  city. 

These  cutbacks,  affecting  many 
teachers  in  Fort  Wayne,  will  also 
affect  six  teachers  here  at  Elmhurst

department.  Also,  Mr.  Allen  Haller, 
science.  Miss  Susan  Highfill, 
English,  and  Mr.  James  Schroeder

department  will  be  departing.  These 
teachers  will  then  be  assigned  to 
other  secondary  schools  in  the  Fort 
Wayne  area  that  are  in  need  of  new 
I  teachers.  However,  as  of  yet,  none  of 
'these  people  know  where  they  will  be 
transferred  to  next  year,  but  are 
expecting  to  find  out  what  new 
destination  will  be  theirs  sometime 
in  August. 

According  to  Assistant  Principal 
Mr.  Robert  Miller,  Elmhurst  will  be 
receiving  no  new  teachers  for  next 
year  and  will  lose  none  through 
retirement.

aa  several  girls  played  close 
sets. 

The  next  match,  played  at

Last  week  the  Elmhurst 
baseball  team  strengthened 
its  record  to  12  wins  against 
5  losses,  with  victories  over 
Harding,  Concordia,  Wayne 
and  Paulding.  The  Trojans 
defeated  Harding  2-1, 
Concordia  2-0.  Wayne  7-3, 
and  spUt  a  double-header 
against  Paulding  8-2,  then  2- 
0  in  Paulding's  favor. 

As  a  team  the  Trojans  are 
in  control  of  first  place  in  the 
Summit  Athletic 
Conference.  The  team  was 
scheduled  to  face  South  Side 
at  Elmhurst  yesterday  and 
then  take  on  Bishop  Luers 
today  also  at  Elmhurst, 
starting  at  4:15  p.m.  If  and 
when  they  defeat  either 
South  Side  or  Bishop  Luers. 
they  will  be  tied  for  the  SAC 
championship  with  the 
Northrop  Bruins.  In  case  of 
this  tie  the  officials  must  go 
back  into  the  season  when 
the  two  teams  met.  When 
this  is  done  they  will  find 
that  Elmhurst  defeated 
Northrop  in  the  regular 
season. 


Junior  Terry  Smith  tossed 
a  two- hitter  against 
Harding  and  kept  them  to 
only  one  run,  to  maintain 
first  place  as  the  city's 
lowest  earned   run   pitcher, 


,50  per  game 
strengthened  his  record  to  5- 
0.  Also  Lynn  Brown  drilled  a 
single  against  Paulding  to 
enlarge  his  consecutive 
hitting  streak  to  12.

MIKE  MA  URER  WON  hin  bid  (or  the  vice-pKsidency. 


The  student  council  officers  for 
next  year  have  been  elected  and 
their  work  has  already  begun  for 
the  75-76  school  year, 

The  winners  are  Tom  Sonday  as 
president,  Mike  Maurer  as  vice- 
president,  and  Claudia  Johnson  as 
secretary -treasurer.  So  far  their 
ideas  and  objectives  seem 
compatible,  and  they  are  able  to 
start  working  together  on  them. 
Council  plans  to  change 

The  new  officers  also  have  some 
constitutional  and  structural 
changes  in  mind  which  they're 
starting  on.  They  want  to  get 
students  running  for 

representatives  that  are  really 
serious  about  being  involved  in 
student  council.  Tom  has 
suggested  having  each  candidate 
write  down  why  he  is  running  and 
is  thinking  about  going  as  far  as 
having  a  screening  committee. 
Mike    wants    the   constitution   to  I 


clarify  who  should  vote  for  officers. 
He  is  confident  that  if  they  can  get 
going  now.  the  council  should  be  off 
to  a  great  year. 

Tom  Sonday  is  now  a  junior.  He 
has  been  in  student  council  the  last 
two  years  and  is  vice-president  of 
the  junior  class.  He  ran  for  the 
office  because  he  felt  he  was 
qualified,  and  he  thought  it  would 
be  something  he'd  like  to  do.  There 
were  things  he  wanted  to  see 
changed  that  no  one  else  had  talked 
about.  He  was  not  overly  surprised 
that  he  won,  Tom  felt  that  he  went 
into  the  campaign  having  as  good  a 
chance  as  anyone  else  and  he  was 
pleased  that  the  campaign  was 
clean  and  there  were  no  hard 
feelings. 

Sonday  will  strengthen  council 

Tom  does  not  envision  his 
presidential  duties  to  be  quite  the 
same  as  those  assumed  by  past 
presidents.  He  doesn't  want  to 
make  all  the  proposals  himself,  but 
he  wants  the  representatives  to 
bring  up  bills  and  be  more  active 
themselves.  He  will  keep  the 
student  council  running,  make  sure 
the  representatives  are  doing  their 
job,  and  reinstate  parliamentary 
procedure.  He  might  even  have  a 
parliamentarian  installed  who 
would  make  sure  the  council 
members  follow  parliamentary 
rules. 

Tom  is  directing  his  energy 
toward  all  sorts  of  plans:  more 
dances,  more  social  events,  a  dance 
marathon,  spring  day,  penny 
arcade,  mini-courses,  open  lunch 
mods,      and       a       fund-raising 


competition  between  the  city 
schools.  These  are  all  things  he 
expects  will  strengthen  student 
council  and  put  it  on  an  even  keel 
with  the  councils  in  other  high 
schools.  When  asked  how  Elmhurst 
compares  to  other  schools,  Tom 
said,  "Elmhurst  is  basically  the 
same  as  any  other  school.  We  have 
the  same  material  to  work  with,  but 
maybe  not  as  much  motivation  as, 
say,  Snider.  But  we're  getting 
there." 

Overall.  Tom  beheves  next  year 
will  be  8  really  great  year  with  a 


TOM  SONDA  Y  WILL  ASSUME  ih.

donation  of  the  five  aU-season  athletic

Rah-Rahs  have  buny  summer 

Aside  from  their  school  year  duties  both 
varsity  and  reserve  cheerleaders  were  kept 
busy  with  fund  raising  and  cheerleading 
camp  activities  this  past  summer. 

Members  of  both  squads  traveled  to 
Indiana  University,  Bloomington,  Aug.  4  for 
a  five  day  cheerleading  cLnic,  Sponsored  by 
the  Universal  Cheerleaders  Association,  the 
nine  girls  were  part  of  450  girls  participating 
in  the  workshop.  Daily  classes  during  the 
UCA  clinic  included  cheers,  pom  pom 
routines,  gymnastics,  private  coaching  and 
squad  evaluations.  Both  squads  received 
superior  ratings  during  daily  evaluations. 

Money-making  projects  were  another  time- 
consuming  activity  this  summer  for  the  EHS 
cheerleaders.  The  squads  helped  to  construct 
a  float  sponsored  by  May  Stone  and  Sand. 
Inc..  for  the  Three  Rivers  Festival,  and  in 
turn  raised  S200  for  their  fund.  The  group 
also  sponsored  a  car  wash  and  garage  sale  in 
mid-July  that  brought  in  approximately  SlOO 
to  be  used  towards  letter  jackets  and 
cheerleading  supplies  for  the  squads  this 
year. 

Northside  sponsors  first  dance 

A  successful  dance  sponsored  by  the 
senior  class  of  North  Side  attracted  many 
Trojans  to  join  in  after  the  first  football 
game  of  the  season  Aug.  29.  The  dance,  in  the 
North  Side  cafeteria,  featured  "Society" 
providing  the  tunes. 

Yearbooks  to  be  here  soon 

The  '74-'75  edition  of  the  Anlibrum  is  due 
to  arrive  at  Elmhurst  Sept.  15.  Distribution 
to  students  receiving  a  yearbook  will  be 
made  immediately  upon  receipt. 


Four  study  government  procedures 


This  past  summer,  four  seniors 
represented  Elmhurst  at  Girls'  and 
Boys'  State.  Melissa  Hunter, 
Claudia  Johnson,  Betsy  Barber  and 
Les  Novitsky  were  the  Trojan 
participants. 

"It  was  really  fun.  When  I  got 
there  at  first,  I  didn't  think  I'd  like 
it,"  commented  Melissa,  '"but  once  I 
got  to  know  some  of  the  different 
people,  and  what  was  going  on  -  I 
loved  it!" 

Girls'  and  Boys'  State  takes  place 
at  two  different  times,  but  uses  the 
same  major  idea.  A  mock 
government  with  the  participants 
running  for  government  offices  ■ 
State,  local,  etc. 

If  the  participant  decides  to  run 
for  a  State  office,  they  are  given  a 


party,  such  as  Federalist 
Nationalist,  and  are  required  to  give 
speeches  with  audiences  of  up  to 
400. 

All  participants  used  "rea 
voting  machines.  Only  one  of  the 
three  female  participants  from 
Elmhurst  was  elected  into  office. 
Betsy  Barber  served  as  a 
Representative  in  the  House,  but 
both  Melissa  and  Claudia  failed  in 
their  attempts  to  capture  Secretary 
of  State  and  Senate,  respectively. 

Senior  Les  Novitsky  was  the  only 
male  representative  from  Elmhurst 
at  State.  Les  described  Boys'  State 
as  being  "a  lot  of  fun,  very 
worthwhile,  and  a  real  lesson  in  how 
our  government  works. ' '

^^  team  of  student  council 
fficers-  He  anticipates  advantages 
n  Claudia's  good  ideas  and  Mike's 
iperience  and  knack  for  getting 
things  across  to  people. 
Maurer  queatione  role  of  council 

Mike  Maurer  has  been  a  member 
gi  student  council  for  the  last  two 
..jars  and  was  president  of  his 
sophomore  class.  He  became 
interested  in  running  for  student 
council  vice-president  because  he 
(eels  he  gets  along  with  all  sorts  of 
pj,ople    and    thinks    he    could    be 


of  next  year  s  sti 


helpful  by   presenting  the  varied 
opinions  of  the  students  and  by 
acting  as  a  mediator  between  the 
student    body,    the    council,    the 
representatives   and   the   officers. 
Mike  has  a  theory  about  next 
year.    He   calculates    that    '75-'7G 
should  be  the  best  year   for  the 
student  council  because  "Last  year 
was  a  building  year.  This  year  used 
last   years   ideas   and   knowledge 
and  worked  on  them,  and  next  year 
we     should    be    able    to    get    it 
together."    The    hard    working 
representatives        and        their 
determination  not  to  back  down 
when  things  are  going  badly  should 
help  according  to  Mike.  He  also  has 
confidence    in    Tom    as    president 
because    "Tom  is  a  thinker  and  a 
speaker.  He  thinks  ahead,  thinks 
fast.       is       good       with       the 
administration,  and  has  the  ability 
to  do  an  above  average  job.  " 

Mike  has  noted  some 
uncertainty  concerning  the  role  of 
the  council.  He  asks  whether 
student  council  is  supposed  to  get 
into  the  school  board  and  work  on 
big  projects  or  concentrate  on  the 
little  things  within  the  school. 
Mike  has  decided  that  there  should 
be  a  compromise.  The  council 
should  get  involved  with  the 
school's  curriculum,  and  things 
that  would  please  the  students 
such  as  the  opening  of  the 
courtyard.  As  for  his  own  job.  Mike 
will  work  to  keep  personality 
conflicts  out  of  the  council,  guide 
the  council,  help  set  policy,  and 
find  out  what  the  students  want. 


Johnson  conrident  of  new  officers 

Claudia  Johnson  wasn't  in 
student  council  in  junior  high 
because  it  was  the  popular  people 
she  felt  who  then  were  involved. 
This  year  she  decided  she  wanted 


to  get  r 


;  involved  in  the  school 


and  so  she  became  social  chairman 
of  the  junior  class.  She  found  that 
she  enjoyed  having  some 
responsibility  for  what  happens  in 
the  school,  knowing  what  was 
going  on  and  having  some  fun.  So 
now  she'll  be  secretary- treasurer  of 
the  student  council  which,  besides 
taking  attendance  and  the  minutes, 
will  require  her  to  mediate  between 
the  officers  and  the  student  body 
and  contribute  her  suggestions  to 
council  decisions  and  policies. 

Claudia  feels  Tom's  main  asset  is 
that  he  has  a  lot  of  interest  in  the 
student  body.  In  addition  she 
appreciates  his  good  ideas,  his  skill 
at  organizing  and  his  ability  to 
keep  from  letting  things  get  him 
down.  Claudia  is  confident  that  the 
three  officers  will  be  able  to  work 
closely  together,  which  she  says  is 
something  valuable  to  the  student 
council.  She  is  impressed  with  the 
amount  of  planning  that  they've 
already  done  and  pointed  this  out 
with  the  fact  that,  even  at  the 
prom.  Tom  was  taking  time  out  to 
discuss  with  her  the  project  of 
boosting  faculty  interest  in  a  day  of 
mini-courses  nest  year.

CLA  UDIA  JOHNSON  IS  TO  BE  the  75-76  student  council  secretary- 
treasurer 


Mvtc4e^  catend  6<utcC  ouh^    Exchangc  students  arriuc 


During  the  week  of  August  17-23, 
Imhursfs  marching  band, 
orchestra,  twirlers,  and  pom  pom 
girls  spent  six  days  at  Camp 
LuLendy  in  the  mountains  near  Clay 
City.  Kentucky.  The  camp  .  was 
recently  converted  from  a  resort 
motel  into  a  camp  for  musical 
organizations. 

The  purpose  of  the  expedition  was 
to   perfect    the    group's    skills    at 


marching  and  performing  together. 

Practicing  approximately  eight 
hours  each  day,  the  students  had 
morning,  afternoon,  and  evening 
practice  sessions  with  free  time  for 
recreation. 

Returning  by  chartered  bus.  the 
group  arrived  back  in  Fort  Wayne 
August  23  to  begin  preparing  for 
their  first  performance  at  Wayne 
Stadium  Sept.  19. 


Trojans  register  smoothly 


Elmhurst  adds  two  foreign 
exchange  students  to  the  enrollment 
count  this  year.  They  are  Maria 
Elena  Arguello  Sibaja  and  Andrea 
Janser. 

Eighteen-year-old  Maria  comes  to 
EHS  from  Alajuela,  Costa  Rica  in 
Central  America.  She  arrived  in  Fort 
Wayne  August  7,  and  is  making  her 
new  home  with  senior  Tammy 
Hughes  and  her  family.  Maria  will 
be  a  member  of  the  senior  class. 

Elmhurst's  other  exchange 
student,  junior  Andrea  Janser,  who 
arrived  six  weeks  ago,   is   staying 


The  payment  of  book  fees  and 
class  dues,  program  changes,  and 
the  sale  of  the  Advance  and  the 
Anlibrum  were  only  a  few  of  the 
activities  that  took  place  August  19- 
22  and  Monday,  August  25,  during 
pre-registration. 

With  the  aid  of  student  helpers 
and  a  few  wilUng  parents,  the 
administrative  staff  of  Elmhurst 
High  School  succeeded  in 
""egistering  many  of  the  incoming 
sophomores,  juniors,  and  seniors  for 
the  1975-76  school  year.  It  is 
expected  that  there  will  be  very 
close  to  1200  students  enrolled  at 
EHS  this  year. 

According  to  Principal  Richard 
Horstmeyer,  the  pre-registration 
Went  very  smoothly.   However,   he 


with  senior  Kim  Cross.  Andrea  is 
from  Lauterbrunner,  Switzerland, 
where  the  native  language  spoken  is 
Swiss  German. 

Maria's  stay  at  Elmhurst  is 
sponsored  by  the  American  Field 
Service.  AFS  is  also  sponsoring  Pat 
Prader's  year  visit  to  France.  Pat 
was  a  1975  graduate  of  EHS. 

Andrea's  visit  has  been  made 
possible  through  the  International 
Christian  Youth  Exchange  in 
cooperation  with  the  Lincolnshire 
Church  of  the  Brethren. 


had  hoped  to  have  85-90  per  cent  of 
the  students  registered  before  the 
start  of  school,  but  was  unable  to 
achieve  this  goal.  Mr.  Horstmeyer 
also  stated  that  there  were  fewer 
scheduling  problems  this  year  than 
in  the  previous  school  year.  He 
explained  that  because  of  the  many 
complex  schedules,  the  computer 
cannot  always  program  students 
into  the  classes  they  selected  and 
this  is  where  the  problem  begins. 

Journalism    adviser    Mrs.    Jane 
Hoylman  reported  that 

subscriptions  to  the  Advance  and 
Anlibrum  are  up  from  last  year, 
while  EHS  athletic  director  Mr. 
Paul  Bienz  stated  that  athletic 
ticket  sales  were  not  nearly  as  good 
as  anticipated.

Highlighting  a  very  successful 
'7.5  prom,  Ansa  Kunnari,  escorted 
by  Greg  Nowak.  was  crowned  this 
year's  prom  queen  by  last  year's 
queen,  Sue  Male,  Saturday,  May 
17, 

With  around  100  couples  in 
attendance  for  the  dance,  Ansa  was 
honored  by  her  feUow  students 
atop  the  Sheraton  hotel  as  queen, 
to  which  Ansa  responded  that  it 
felt  "very  great  that  so  many 
people  like  me.  "

Prom 

Queen 

1975 


Midway  through  the  dance  and 
music  of  the  Teardrops,  the 
decision  was  announced  by  Tom 
Sonday  to  the  final  seven  girls. 

Ansa  meetfl  "biggys" 

Ansa  is  Elmhurst's  foreign 
exchange  student  from  Finland, 
and  was  eventually  introduced  to 
the  "biggy"  events  at  Elmhurat. 
including  the  prom.  In  reaction  to 
the  prom,  Ansa  felt  it  was  perhaps 
"too  expensive,  but  very  nice  that 
once  a  year  guys  can  ask  somebody 
out.  " 

After  dinner,  the  couples  were 
greeted  with  a  variety  of  slow  and 
fast  music  by  the  Teardrops.  Ansa 
loves  to  dance,  as  it  is  her  favorite 
thing  to  do,  It  struck  Ansa  as 
amusing  that  older  people  in  the 
U.S.  dance  more  often  than  the 
younger,  which  is  opposite  of 
Finland.  In  Finland,  teenagers 
generally  find  time  to  dance  every 
weekend,  rather  than  a  movie  or 
party.  Ansa  likes  to  waltz,  but 
prefers  fast  dances.  However,  she 
finds  American  fast  dancing  rather 
"boring,  "not  quite  like  the  tango. 

"Who  really  knew  me?" 

Ansa's  first  reaction  when  she 
discovered  she  was  one  of  the  prom 
court  was  one  of  surprise.  "Who 
really  knew  me?"  she  wondered. 
After  the  homeroom  vote  for  the 
queen,  it  was  evident  much  of 
Elmhurst  knew  of  her. 


There  is  nothing  really  like  the 
prom  in  Finland,  The  only  thing 
close  to  it  is  the  last  day  as  a  senior 
This  is  an  important  occasion,  and 
seniors  take  the  time  to  dress  up 
and  recognize  their  last  day- 
Queen  comments  on  prom 
traditions 

Ansa  wondered  if  maybe  the 
prom  should  be  held  at  school,  as  it 
once  was  at  Elmhurst.  She  also 
commented  on  the  lack  of  any 
organized  after-prom,  which  manj 
people  were  asking  about. 

Tradition  maintains  that  the 
reigning  queen  crown  the  new 
queen  each  year.  However.  Ansa 
didn't  think  she  could  make  it  back 
to  watch  her  successor  be  named 
The  expense  to  travel  back  to  Fort 
Wayne  would  be  too  great,  and 
someone  else  will  have  to  do  the 
honors. 

The  new  queen  feels  very 
honored  and  happy  that  she  was 
chosen.  Ansa  remarked  that  each 
day  she  realizes  the  importance  of 
the  prom  more  and  more.  Ansa 
pointed  out  that  to  her,  "It  isn't 
the  most  important  thing.  It 
doesn't  mean  I  am  any  better  than 
anyone  else."  After  the  year  is 
over,  however.  Ansa  will  have  yet 
another  event  and  experience  to 
take  back  with  her  to  Finland, 
where  she  will  remember  it  for  a 
long  time  to  come.

After  a  dismal  year  of 
girls'  sports  seasons, 
sectional  highlights  began 
to  occur  as  the  tennis  anc 
track  teams  have  qualified 
girls  for  higher  competition. 

After  making  the 
qualification  through  track 
sectionals.  sophomores 
Emma  Bostic  and  Angela 
Hayden  put  on  quite  a  show 
in  the  Regional  meet  to 
qualify  for  the  State  meet. 

Emma  jumped  16'  SVi"  to 
win  the  long  jump,  also 
breaking  the  Regional 
record.  Emma  is  expected  to 
place  well  in  the  State  meet 
on  May  30  in  Indianapolis. 

Angela  Hayden  placed 
second  in  the  hurdles,  losing 
only  to  a  hurdler  from 
Northrop.  Angle's  time  was 
14.2  for  the  total  run;  she 
will    also    be    traveUng    to 


State. 

The  doubles  team  of 
senior  Sally  Hinton  and 
junior  Cheri  Norton 
succeeded  in  qualifying  for 
the  Regional  tennis  match, 
to  be  held  in  Muncie  on  May 
31.  Sally  and  Cheri  defeated 
the  South  Adams  team  of 
Rhoades  and  Sauder  by 
scores  of  6-0,  6-3.  They 
continued  their  victory 
streak  by  defeating  the 
Homestead  team  of  Mutton 
and  Christoff,  by  scores  of  7- 
5,4-6,6-2. 

The  semi-final  game  was 
between  the  Elmhurst  duo 
and  the  duo  from  Luers, 
Greeley  and  Schafer. 
Elmhurst  won  by  scores  of 
0-6,  7-5,  7-6.  The  final  game 
was  played  against  another 
Luers  team;  Elmhurst  lost 
to  Galpern  and  Fitzwilliam 
I  by  scores  of  6-4,  5-7,  6-0.

Trojans 

to  Bruins  21-6 


.^:^ 


The  Elmhurst  Trojans 
dropped  their  first  loss  of 
the  season  to  Northrop  in 
the  annual  jamboree  on 
August  23,  as  the  Bruins 
scored  2 1  points  to  the 
Trojans  6.  Elmhurst  was  one 
of  five  teams  that  combined 
to  form  the  visitors  team 
which  held  on  to  win  50-47. 

The  jamboree  was 
comprised  of  five  games, 
each  of  which  consisted  of 


two  12  minute  quarters. 

The  first  Elmhurst 
possession  resulted  in  the 
only  bright  spot  for  the 
Trojans  as  junior  Curtis 
Paschall  slipped  around  the 
right  side  of  the  Une  and  out 
ran  all  defenders  on  an  82 
yard  race  to  the  pnd  zone 
and  gave  Elmhurst  a  6-0 
lead.  The  lead  was  short 
lived  however,  as  Northrop 
took  the  following  kickoff 
and  traveled  52  yards  for  the 
first  Northrop  score. 
Elmhurst  was  unable  to 
move  the  ball  against  the 
tough  Northrop  defense,  and 


couldn't  seem  to  stop  the 
.  Bruins.  The  Bruins'  Leroy 
iMcGraw  who  scored  all 
three  of  the  Northrop  TD's 
scored  his  second  on  a  75 
'  yard  run  around  the  left  side 
and  his  third  on  a  13  yard 
run  to  cap  off  a  60  yard 
drive. 

The  Trojans  next  game 
will  be  against  Norwell  at 
Norwell  on  September  5,  at 
7:30. 


Taylor  album  bridges     ^

WEATHER  REPORT: 
TALESPINNIN' 

Tale  Spinnin'  is  yet  another  Gxtonsion 
of  Wejither  Roport'fi  unique  and  int«nse 
talent.  Characteristically,  the  album 
relies  heavily  on  rhythms,  but  never  loses 
its  intricate  and  highly  emotional  essence. 
Most  of  the  music  was  composed  to 
reflect  the  high  energy  and  strong  spirit 
of  street  celebrations  and  festivals.  The 
song  and  dance  atmosphere  is  captured 
well  in  such  pieces  as  "Man  in  the  Green 
Shirt"and  "Badia". 

Although  the  use  of  rhythms  is 
extensive,  the  album  is  at  the  same  time 
melodious,  particularly  in  the  case  of 
many  of  saxophonist  Wayne  Shorter's 
solos.  In  general,  the  performance  on  the 
record  is  exceptional  ond  the  composition 
is  equally  fine. 

Listening  to  Tale  Spinnin '  is  an 
experience  for  both  the  intellect  and  the 
emotions.  Keyboardist-composer  Josef 
Zawinul  says,  "Our  music  is  the  reflection 
of  the  state  where  you  arrive  as  a  human 
being." 

CECILTAYLOR: 
SILENT  TONGUES. 

Live  at  Montreoux    '74 

Silent  Tongues  is  Cecil  Taylor's  first 
release  in  16  years,  and  had  ex-Columbia 


Records  executive  Olive  Davis  not  bought 
out  the  British  Arista-Freedom  label, 
even  this  album  might  have  been  kept 
from  the  pubhc.  Fortunately,  however,  it 
wasn't  and  pianist  Taylor  presents  on  the 
record  one  of  the  most  complex  and 
powerful  solo  keyboard  efforts  in  that  15 
year  span, 

Taylor  regards  the  piano  as  a 
percussion,  as  opposed  to  a  stringed, 
instrument.  Consequently  the  music  is 
oggressive  and  often  atonal.  In  this 
regard,  the  music  draws  a  fine  Lne 
between  jozz  and  modernist  classical:  the 
composition  is  at  times  reminiscent  of 
Chick  Coreo's  improvisations,  at  others, 
the  works  of  composer  Charles  Ives. 

Silent  Tongues  is  a  five  movement 
piece,  followed  by  two  variations  on 
themes  from  the  movements.  The  first, 
"Abyss  "  is  a  powerful  composition,  built 
on  scale  runs  and  tone  clusters,  and 
resolving  itself  to  more  soothing  tones  in 
the  second  movement  '"Petals  and 
Filaments." 

Taylors  album,  is  to  be  sure,  a  truly 
artistic  achievement;  however,  those 
accustomed  to  more  conventional 
melodies  may  find  the  record  hard 
listening.  But.  those  who  are  used  to  a 
more  avant-garde  form  of  music  or  those 
looking  tor  something  new  and  exciting 
will  find  Silent  Tongues  well  worth  their 
hstening. 


Jinior  grads  forfeit  honors 


There  are  ten  students  at 
Elmhurst  who  at  the  end  of  this  year 
are  graduating  after  attending  only 
six  semesters  of  high  school.  The 
question  has  been  raised  as  to 
whether  those  students  should  be 
considered  juniors  or  seniors. 

This  is  an  important  question,  for 
it  seems  that  this  year  those  early- 
graduation  students  are  not 
considered  either  one.  They  have 
completed  their  last  year  of  high 
school  not  knowing  to  which  class 
they  belong. 

But  is  seems  that  there  already 
has  been  a  decision  made;  only 
nobody  knew  about  it.  Principal 
Horstmeyer,  at  least,  considers 
these  students  juniors  who  are 
simply  graduating  at  the  end  of 
their  junior  year.  The  error  has  been 
made  already  though,  and  the 
students  did  miss  out  on  some  of  the 
benefits  juniors  have.  For  instance, 
none  of  the  junior  girls  who  are 
graduating  were  included  in  the  list 
of  prospective  prom  queens. 

It  is  a  shame  that  these  students 
cannot  he  considered  seniors,  for 
they  have  worked  as  hard  to 
graduate  as  four  year  students  have. 

But  Indiana  state  law  requires 
that  to  graduate  a  senior,  the 
student  must  attend  eight 
semesters  of  high  school.  So,  in 
order  to  reap  the  benefits,  one  must 


I  just  follow  the  rules. 

Junior  graduates  are  a  speciaj 
group  of  students.  They  have 
received  permission  to  graduate 
with  only  six  semesters.  This  is 
achieved  by  filling  out  a  form  which 
has  to  be  okayed  by  the  stau 
department  of  education. 

There  are  many  good  reasons  for 
students  to  graduate  early.  One,  a 
student  may  be  one  or  two  years 
older  than  his  classmates  and  may 
wish  to  graduate  with  those  his  own 
age.  Two,  the  student  may  need  to 
get  into  college  early.  And  thre^the 
student  may  be  more  mature  and 
held  back  in  high  school.  But  junior 
graduation  is  not  for  everybody  .„ 
primarily  because  the  senior  year  is 
lost. 

But  the  decision  is,  and  should  be, 
left  up  to  the  student  and  his  family 
They  should  know  all  the 
advantages  and  disadvantages,  and 
then  decide.  If  they  choose  to 
graduate  early,  then  they  are 
excluded  from  some  of  the  big 
awards,  namely  valedictorian  and 
salutatorian,  no  matter  whether 
their  grade  point  average  is  higher 
than  anyone  else's  or  not. 

But  the  point  is,  hopefully,  if 
early  grads  are  considered  juniors 
in  theory,  they  will  be  considered 
juniors  in  practice. 


Bihe  routes 
established 
across 
country 

If  those  same  feet  that 
met  the  challenge  of  the 
Hunger  Walk  and  the 
March  of  Dimes 
Bikeathon  are  yearning 
for  a  new  and  patriotic 
experience,  they  can 
consider  this  idea:  as  part 
of  the  Bicentennial 
observance,  a  group 
referring  to  itself  as  the 
Bikecentennial  is 
sponsoring  a  4100-mile 
Trans-America  Bicycle 
TraU. 

The  trip  from  Astoria. 
Oregon,  to  Williamsburg, 
Virginia,  is  expected  to 
take  approximately  70  or 
80  days.  Cyclists  will 
travel  in  groups  of  eight, 
and  will  be  accompanied 
by  a  trained  leader. 

The  entire  trip  should 
cost  about  S400.  This 
includes  meals,  overnight 
lodging,  repairs,  insur- 
ance, and  more. 
Traffic  should  not  pose 


a  problem  on  this  cross- 
country ride  since  cyclists 
will  be  traveUng  on  back 
roads  that  usually  carry 
less  than  ten  cars  per 
hour.  Each  cyclist  will 
cover  40  to  60  miles  a  day 
through  the  countryside. 

Fort  Wayne  builds  trail 

Fort  Wayne  cyclers 
who  do  a  lot  of  pedaling 
through  the  city  and  into 
the  north  part  of  town 
may  be  glad  to  learn  that 
a  three-mile  bike  trail  is 
being  laid  from  Freimann 
Square  to  City  Utilities 
Park. 

After  finding  through  a 
survey  that  bicycling  was 
Fort  Wayne's  most 
popular  activity,  the  city 
government  started  work 
on  a  local  version  of  the 
bike  routes  in  other  cities. 
Plans  for  trails  along  all 
of  the  three  rivers  are 
under  consideration  for 
eventual  construction. 

Work  on  the  present 
cycle  project  is  already 
underway,  but  the  trail 
will  not  be  absolutely 
complete  until  next 
summer.  Part  of  it  will  be 
along  roadways.  The  rest, 
for  instance  near  the 
bypass,  will  be  asphalted 
off street. 


Bicycles  more  popular, 
ten-speeds  available 


Bicycling  has  ceased  to  be  an  activity 
just  for  youngsters.  The  two-wheel  sport 
has  found  a  place  among  older 
generations.  In  fact,  more  bikes  are  being 
sold  to  adults  these  days  than  to  children. 

People  everywhere 
are  taking  note  of  the 
bike  craze  as  bikeways 
are  constructed  along 
highways  on  the  west 
coast,  on  old  railroad 
beds  in  Wisconsin,  and 
on  downtown  streets  in 
Boston  and  Chicago. 
But  probably  the  most 
attention  on  the  bicycle 
boom   is   from   the   bi- 


cycle manufacturers  and  dealers. 

Ten-speed  bicycles  are  in  great 
demand,  and  in  Fort  Wayne 
twelve  stores  sell  a  combined 
variety  of  brands. 

"Consumer  Reports"  and  a 
salesman  at  Fort  Wayne  Bicycle 
agree  that  Fuji  is  among  the  best 
of  the  ten-speeds  whether  for 
riding  cross-country  or  through 
town.  Lightness  accompanied  by 
ruggedness  is  a  sign  of  a  quality 
bike  and  a  top  model  Fuji  weighs 
in  at  25  pounds.  But  a  top  model 
Fuji  also  costs  from  $320  up.  Fuji 
bikes  a  couple  of  notches  down  in 
price  at  around  $200  weigh 
around  30  pounds,  which  is  still 
judged  as  a  good  weight. 

Motobecane  makes  bikes  on  a 
par  with  Fuji  and  with  most  of 
the  same  qualifications.  Quick 
release  wheels,  auxiliary  brake 
levers,  frame  pumps,  and  brake- 
release  devices  are  some  things 
that  real  bike  fans  look  for  when 
buying.  Peugoit,  Browning, 
Nashiki.  Ross,  and  Crystal  are 
other  names  in  ten-speeds 
available  in  Fort  Wayne.  And 
Schwinn,  which  is  sold  just  about 
everywhere,  makes  the  Le  Tours 
and  the  Voyager  II  as  two  better 
examples  of  its  ten-speeds.

Sophomore  Tim  Lee  did  it 
again  by  breaking  another 
school  record  of  1:55.3  in  the 
ogO.  The  old  record  was  set 
by  Tim  in  the  Sectional  meet 
j^^ay  15.  Tim  broke  his  own 
record  with  a  1:54.2  at 
[Northrop  May  22  in  the 
Hegional  meet.  By  winning 
the  880-yard  run,  Tim 
travels  to  the  state  finals  in 
Indianapolis  on  May  31. 

Coach  Don  Kemp  stated 
that  he  is  hoping  Tim  can 
cut  another  one  and  a  half 
seconds  off  his  new  record 
when  he  travels  to  State. 
The  reason  for  this  is  that 
two  juniors  will  go  to  State 
from  other  schools,  and  both 
have  run  faster  than  1:54.2. 
Coach  Kemp  beUeves  that  if 
and  when  Tim  runs  a  1:52 
next  week,  he  could  have  a 
\^ry  good  chance  of  coming 


home  with  the  first  gold 
medal  in  Elmhurst's 
history. 

Another  runner  went  to 
Regionals  last  week  and 
represented  Elmhurst.  Brad 
Smith  participated  in  the 
100-yard  dash. 
Unfortunately,  Brad  was 
forced  to  run  with  one  ankle 
taped,  and  Coach  Kemp 
stated,  "It  definitely  slowed 
him  down  with  a  bad  start 
from  the  blocks."  Brad 
placed  seventh  in  the  finals 


and  only  the  top  five  go  into 
state  competition. 

Next  year's  track  and 
field  team  will  be  aided  by  14 
returning  lettermen  and 
incoming  sophomores  from 
Portage  and  Kekionga. 
Among  these  fifteen 
returning  lettermen  are  Lee 
and  Smith,  along  with  Jeff 
Heller,  Chad  Cline,  Jim 
Freygang,  John  Stiffler, 
Doug  Peters.  Rick  Knuth,

ROBERT  FRIPP  AND 
BRIAN  ENO: 

NO  PUSSYFOOTING 

What  happens  when 
rock's  two  biggest 
"intellectuals"  get  together 
to  make  an  album? 
Apparently  not  much,  if  No 
Pussyfooting  is  any 
indication.  Although  Fripp 
and  Eno  have  managed 
previously  to  do  justice  to 
their  immense  talents, 
(Fripp's  King  Crimson 
episodes  in  particular),  this 
album  comes  off  as  a  farce. 

The  first  side  of  the 
album,  as  the  second  side,  is 
only  one  number.  "The 
Heavenly  Music 

Corporation"  opens  with  an 
Eastern  sounding,  sitarish 
type  melody.  However,  if 
the  music  is  supposed  to 
remind  us  of  heaven,  it  only 
succeeds  in  conjuring  up 
visions  of  a  B-grade  sci-fi 
movie.  Secondly,  the  song, 
as  in  "Swastika  Girls"  on 
side  two.  lacks  percussion, 
progression  and  depth. 
Granted  that  percussion  is 


not  always  a  necessary 
element  of  music,  in  this 
record  the  Gibson  Les  Paul, 
the  Fripp  Pedalboard  and 
two  modified  Revox  A77 
tape  recorders  are  not 
enough,  therefore  causing 
the  lack  of  depth.  The  lack  of 
progression  further 
complicates  things.  What 
may  only  be  a  thirteen  or 
fourteen  minute  song 
becomes  interminable  due  to 
the  monotony  of  the 
passages. 

No  Pussyfooting  is,  to  say 
the  least,  a  bizarre  album, 
and  to  some  people  it  may  be 
extraordinarily  interesting  --  || 
some  people  have  even 
found  it  relaxing,  but  as  a 
piece  of  music,  the  album 
simply  doesn't  make  it  and 
is  not  worth  paying  the 
import  price  for.

Answer  no  to  senior  uotes 


by  MarilyDD  Scherer 

This  past  Student  CouncU 
election  brought  about 
somewhat  of  a  controversy. 
The  seniors  at  Elmhurst 
were  permitted  to  vote  for 
president,  vice-president, 
and  secretary  of  the  student 
council.  The  council  officers 
elected  will  preside  in  the  '75 
-'76  year.  _, 

The  seniors  argue,  "We 
know  the  juniors  as  well  as, 
(if  not  better  than,)  the 
sophomores."  The  seniors 
are  also  staunch  on  the  idea 
that  "we  know  what  is  best 
for  the  Student  Council, " 

Who  are  the  seniors 
trying  to  kid?  Next  year's 
student  council  will  serve 
the  students  attending 
school  next  year.  The  '76 
graduates  are  not  involved.

will  not  be  represented,  and 
therefore,  should  not  be 
granted  voting  privileges. 

The  decision  of  senior 
votes  is  far  from  a  small 
decision.  Three-hundred  and 
seventy-eight  students  can 
easily  sway  a  vote  from  one 
candidate  to  another.  Is  it 
fair  to  the  candidates  to  let  a 
group  of  uninvolved  people 
vote? 

To  make  things  worse, 
only  part  of  the  senior  body 
voted,  a  result  of  mass 
confusion  on  a  Wednesday 
"homeroom"  session. 

Next  year  the  demand  will 
most  probably  be:  no  senior 
vote.  Hopefully,  next  year's 
seniors  will  see  the  issue  in 
the  same  light  as  they  did  in 
their  junior  year.

tennis  and  cross  country  begin 
practice  luith  optimistic  uieiu 


With  the  new  school  year 
comes  new  seasons  for  our 
tennis  and  cross  country 
teams.  With  these  new 
seasons  comes  great 
optimism  from  both  of  their 
coaches. 

Last  year  was  Coach 
Robert  Horn's  first  year  as 
tennis  coach.  He  led  the 
netmen    to    a    dismal    2-12 


mark  with  Wayne  and 
Southside  as  Elmhurst's 
only  victims.  The  75-76  year 
will  be  a  rebuilding  year 
with  a  near  even  number  of 
sophomores,  juniors,  and 
seniors.  Even  though  this 
year  will  be  a  rebuilding 
season,  a  .500  record  is 
within  the  netmen's  grasp. 
The  members  of  this  year's 


cross  country  team  will  have 
their  work  cut  out  for  them 
this  season  if  they  hope  to 
improve  on  last  year's  16-5-1 
record.  Coach  Carter  Lohr 
cited  seniors  Dave  Lewis 
and  Rick  Knuth  along  with 
juniors  Jim  Freygang  and 
Tim  Lee  as  the  mainstays  of 
his  lineup.  The  cross  country 
team  will  lose  just  one 
varsity  runner  from  last 
year's  team  which  will  be 
very  helpful  in  their  bid  for 
the  SAC  title. 

The  outlooks  for  this 
year's  tennis  and  cross 
country  teams  are 

promising.  An  SAC  title  is 
very  possible  for  the  harriers 
while  the  netmen  have  an 
outside  shot  at  winning  the 
SAC  title  in  tennis.

with  volleyball.  An 
organizational  meeting  for 
any  interested  sophomore,

lowing school  in  the  boys 
gym,     lasting    until    4:30, 

For  the  first  week, 
practice  will  consist  mainly 
of  drills  and  running  which 
later  on  will  develop  into  a 
game  situation.  The  first  cut 
will  be  made  soon  after  the 
first  full  week  of  practice.

Trojans  aduance  in  sectionals 


vim^' 


Behind  the  brilliant  pitching  of 
junior  Terry  Smith  and  the  slugging 
of  Brian  Russell,  the  EHS  baseball 
team  posted  a  2-0  victory  over 
Homestead  in  first  round  sectional 
action  at  Columbia  City. 

Smith  pitched  three-hit  ball  while 
striking  out  14  batters  which  tied 
senior  Lynn  Brown's  record  for 
most  strike-outs  in  a  game.  Terry 
still  has  not  lost  a  game  this  year 
and  owns  a  9-0  record  thus  far. 

The  Big  Red  broke  the  scoreless 
tie  when  Brian  Russell  unleashed  a 
350  ft.  drive  over  the  right  field 
fence  which  gave  the  Trojans  all  the 
runs  they  needed.  It  appeared  that 
the  Trojans  were  in  trouble  in  the 
bottom  of  the  sixth  when 
Homestead  loaded  the  bases  with 
nobody  out.  Smith  then  struck  the 
next  batter  and  Elmhurst  came  up 
with  an  inning  ending  doubleplay  to 
preserve  Terry's  shutout. 

BrowD  taken  to  hospital 

Lynn  Brown  was  taken  to  the 
hospital  for  X-rays  of  his  left  thumb, 
playing  first  base,  Brown  was 
fielding  a  low  throw  when  the  ball 
skidded  in  the  dirt  and  hit  his 
thumb.  He  was  immediately  taken 
to  Fort  Wayne  and  is  a  doubtful 
starter  for  todays  game. 
Smith  shuts  out  Norwell 

A    trio    of    Elmhurst    pitchers

checked  the  Knights  offense  by 
giving  up  only  two  hits.  Junior 
Terry  Smith  shutout  Norwell  for  the 
first  three  innings  while  senior  Lynn 
Brown  shutout  the  Knights  during 
the  fourth  and  fifth  innings. 
Norwell's  only  run  came  off  senior 
Dave  Campbell.  The  Trojans 
offensive  punch  was  a  long  double 
hit  over  the  head  of  Norwell's  left 
fielder  by  junior  Stan  Sorgen. 

One  week  ago  last  Saturday,  the 
Big  Red  travelled  to  Woodlan  to 
take  on  the  Warriors  at  their  home 
diamond.  Under  a  blazing  hot  sun, 
Terry  Smith  threw  a  one-hit  shutout 
while  striking  out  14  batters. 

A  single  up  the  middle  by  Phil 
Gutman  with  runners  on  first  and 
second  scored  the  tie  breaking  and 
winning  run  as  the  Big  Red  went  on 
to  post  a  3-2  extra  winning  victory.

fJiluates,  she  will  be  able  to  teach 


Cast  named   to   comedy,  'See  How  They  Run' 


"iy grade  between  first  and  twelfth 
either     the     choral     or     the 
^inimental  field. 

^Ifs.  Lesh  is  originally  from 
"luffton.    Indiana,    where    she 

"ended  Bluffton  High  School. 
*ns stated  that  she  really  likes  it  at 
''"ihurst  and  that  the  high  school 
''■fl  is  the  best  age  to  teach.  She 
'^nt  on  to  say  that  most  of  the 

'udenis  are  nice,  but  some  are 
'"lery, 

^'fs.  Lesh  can  be  found  teaching 
'  room  159.  She  will  be  at 
^Imhurst  until  November  15. 


At  the  beginning  of  the 
school  year  at  Elmhurst,  it 
is  not  uncommon  to  hear 
announcements  all  day  long 
letting  students  know  when 
and  where  try-outs  for  the 
school  play  will  be  held. 
Soon  these  little  P. A. 
tidbits  stop,  and  no  one 
thinks  about  the  play  again 
until  tickets  go  on  sale. 
Right?  There  is  a  certain 
group  of  people  at  EHS  who 
would  heartily  disagree  with 
that. 

Every  night  at  6  p.m.,  a 
small  group  gathers  in  the 
school  gym  to  practice  for 
■■See  How  They  Run."  This 
three-act  comedy  is, 
according  to  Mr.  Don  Goss, 
"a  delightful  romp  through 
an  English  vicarage 
involving  an  American 
actress  (Nancy  Beadie)  who 
is  married  to  Reverend  Toop 
(John  Silletto),  an  English 
minister,  when  she  happens 
to  meet  an  actor  friend  (Tom 
Young)  who  is  now  in  the 
Air  Force  stationed  in 
England.  While  the  actor 
and  actress  are  renewing 
their    friendship    at    the 


theatre,  the  vicar  is  held  up 
by  a  Russian  spy  (Larry 
Daugherty)  who  takes  his 
clothes  and  assumes  the 
disguise  of  the  Reverend. 
The  real  Reverend  is  left 
unconscious  in  the  closet.  A 
search  is  on  for  the  spy. 

"Miss  Skillon  (Melissa 
Hunter  1  passes  out  during 
all  the  excitement  because 
she  is  totally  intoxicated 
and  is  shuttled  off  to  the 
closet  by  the  cockney  maid 
Ida  ( Leslie  Collier  1,  not 
knowing  the  preseiit 
occupant. 

■'The  bishop  (Allen  Shaw) 
arrives  to  find  his  niece,  the 
actress,  is  not  sure  who  she 
is  married  to,  and  two  men 
are  both  calling  themselves 
Reverend  Humphrey  (Goeff 
Sills).  The  English  cop  (Mat 
Tyler)  bobs  in  to  look  for  the 
minister  who  is  disguised  as 
the  spy  and  begins  to  bicker 
with  the  vicars.  The  running 
is,  continuous 

and  so  are  the  laughs  in  this 
who-dun-it  comedy." 

When  asked  how  she  felt 
about     the     play,     senior 


Melissa  Hunter  said,  "I  love 
it!  The  cast  and  crew  get 
along  really  well  so  practice 
never  gets  to  be  a  drag. 
There  are  always  new  things 
to  add  to  the  characters 
which  helps  to  make  the 
three  and  a  half  hours  a 
night  practice  more  fun. 

The  directors  for  "See 
How  They  Run*'  are  Mr. 
Goss,         Mrs.         Shelley 


Wellington,     and     senior 
Sarah  Stewart. 

The  stage  manager  is  Pat 
Koehl,  and  Claudia  Johnson 
is  in  charge  of  props.  The 
stagecraft  class  will  design 
the  set  which  will  consist  of 
a  staircase,  fireplace,  French 
doors,  and  various  other 
things.  The  play  will  be 
presented  Nov.  7,  8,  14.  and 
15.

t  i  it  timpk  — 
mi  Mt^umng —  it  ilt 

by  Nancy  Beadie 

It's  been  quite  a  summer.  You  really  enjoyed  the  free 
time,  the  parties,  the  trips,  and  the  sun.  Of  course,  now  i 
time  for  school  again.  (What's  this,  the  thirteenth  time?) 
The  only  good  thing  about  stepping  back  through  those 
classroom  doors  is  the  chance  to  see  how  people  have 
changed,  what  they're  like  now,  and  how  they  are,  "So"  it's 
one  of  those  first  few  days  and  you're  e-xcitedly  listening  to 
a  rehash  of  a  trip  to  CaUfornia.  laughing  when  it  coincides 
with  your  own  trip  to  Florida  or  wondering  why  the  girl 
down  the  aisle  dresses  like  that.  1 1  mean  she  always  seemed 
normal  before!)  or  you're  talking  to  someone  you  haven't 
talked  to  since  grade  school,  when  the  teacher  gets  out  some 
papers  which  are  the  signal  for  that  dreaded  thing,  a  seating 
chart! 

Assigned  seats.  Yech!  Nothing  makes  me  madder.  No 
offense  to  my  other  A  and  B  last  name  friends,  but  I'm 
really  getting  tired  of  seeing  you.  I  mean,  since  grade 
school,  I've  sat  next  to  you,  been  in  line  next  to  you,  had 
homeroom  with  you,  and  gone  to  assemblies  with  you.  I'm 
just  not  that  fond  of  the  idea  of  seeing  you  and  your  same 
old  nervous  habits  for  another  whole  year.  Ah,  you  may 
think  this  a  minor  complaint,  but  think  of  it  this  way.  The 
teachers  and  the  administration  are  trying  to  structure  our 
social  background.  Our  horizons  are  being  Umited  because 
we're  restricted  to  the  A's  and  the  B's. 

Now.  alphabetical  order  seating  is  definitely  revoltmg, 
but  assigned  seating  of  any  kind  upsets  me.  I  remember  in 
junior  high  we  had  assigned  seats  in  the  lunchroom.  Now 
that  was  too  much.  It's  bad  enough  to  go  to  the  same 
building,  have  the  same  classes,  same  schedule,  same 
rooms,  and  same  things  to  do  every  day,  but  to  see  and  talli 
to  the  exact  same  people  all  day  every  day  is  monotony  ai 
its  worst.  So  come  on,  give  me  some  elbow  room.  Let  me 
make  my  own  associates.  Leave  my  seat  alone! ! 


Euthanasia,  studeng 


To  the  editor: 

Often  during  the  last  few 
months,  the  topic  of 
euthanasia  has  come  up  in 
the  news  and  in  classroom 
discussions.  There  are  many 
ways  of  looking  at  the 
situation,  and  I'd  like  to 
present  one  side  of  the  story. 

Euthanasia,  which  is 
defined  as  "an  easy  death  or 
means  of  inducing  one"'  may 
be  one  of  the  best  things 
that  can  happen  to  the 
terminally  ill  patient. 
Unfortunately,  turning  off  a 
respirator  or  stopping  life- 
prolonging  medication  is 
still  considered  homicide. 
So.  a  person  is  left  on  a 
machine  that  is  taking  care 
of  his  or  her  body  functions 
indefinitely  or  until  even  the 
machine  can  no  longer  help. 


Crushed  Limestone

Is  it  fair  to  prolong  a  life 
that  would  end  if  it  weren't 
for  the  help  of  man-made 
machines?  Is  it  right  to  keep 
a  person  physically  alive 
when  there  is  absolutely  NO 
hope  for  survival?  I  don't 
think  it  is.  I  feel  that  if  a 
doctor  is  requested  to  turn 
off  a  machine,  he  should  be 
legally  able  to  do  so.  I  think 
that  there  should  be  other 
uninvolved  persons  in  on  the 
decision  making,  though. 
Perhaps  the  way  to  do  it 
would  be  for  the  family  of 
the  patient  involved  to  go  to 
the  doctor  handling  the  case. 
Then  he  should  take  the  case 
to  a  committee  of  doctors 
who  would  then  go  over 
everything  concerned  with 
him  or  her.  This  committee 
then  should  present  the 
report  to  the  family  with  the 


final  decision,  whether  or 
not  to  disconnect  the 
machine,  included.  This 
way,  it  could  be  made  sure 
that  any  family  with  a 
suffering  member  in  it  could 
simply  say  "stop"  and  end 
someone's  life.  But  it  would 
help  families  that  cannot 
afford  to  keep  someone  with 
no  hope  of  ever  regaining 
consciousness  on  a  machine.

On  Friday,  September  26,  Trojan 
iipperctassmen  will  have  the 
opportunity  to  talk  with 
representatives  from  such  colleges

10:30. 

Students  wishing  to  attend 
Higher  Education  Day  (held  in  the

Often  the  beginning  to  one  of  the 
most  widely  read  columns  written, 
DEAR  ANN  LANDERS  has 
become  as  much  a  part  of  the  early 
morning  routine  as  breakfast.  But 
no  longer  will  Elmhurst  students 
confess  only  knowing  Ann  Landers 
in  print,  because  on  Monday.  Sept. 
22,  the  famed  advice  columnist  will 
be  addressing  Trojans  in  a  9  a.m. 
convocation. 

This  being  Miss  Landers'  second 
visit  to  Fort  Wayne  high  schools, 
she  is  speaking  at  Elmhurst 
courtesy  of  The  Fort  Wayne 
Journal-Gazette.  Miss  Landers  will 
be   in   Fort   Wayne   by    request   of 


Hardware  Wholesalers,  Inc.  She  will 
be  delivering  two  speeches  to  the 
hardware  dealers,  one  on  Sunday 
evening  Sept  21,  and  one  the 
following  night. 

Last  year  Miss  Landers  was  a 
guest  of  the  South  Side  Archers.  If 
she  follows  the  same  format  as  that 
appearance,  Trojans  can  expect  a 
speech  centering  around  timely 
topics  such  as  the  advice  she  offers 
in  her  daily  column. 

Our  quest  speaker  is  a  staff 
member  of  the  Chicago  Sun-Times,  a 
syndicated  columnist,  and  is

Seniors  Katy  Royse  and  Sue 
Adams  attended  Indiana  State 
University  this  summer  for  a 
business  Honors  Seminar  that 
taught  them  to  work  with 
computers. 

The  two  girls  learned  of  the 
seminar  from  business  teacher  Mrs. 
Marcella  Goble.  and  after  discussing 
it  with  Mr.  Robert  Miller  and  Mr. 
John  Sinks,  they  sent  in  their 
applications.  After  being  accepted 
into  the  seminar,  they  traveled  to 
Terre  Haute  for  the  weeks  of  June 
15-27. 


During  their  stay  at  I.S.U..  the 
girls  attended  classes  and  lectures 
during  the  morning  and  afternoon, 
in  order  to  learn  about  the  different 
types  of  computers  and  their  uses. 
They  were  also  allowed  to  use  the 
terminal  and  key  punchers. 

Aside  from  their  classes  they 
visited  Eli  Lilly  and  Columbia 
Records  Corporations,  touring  their 
computer  set-ups. 

Both  girls  had  a  good  time,  met 
many  new  people  from  different 
states,  and  felt  they  had  learned  a 
lot  from  this  seminar. 


Millard  joins  staff 

One  of  the  new  faces  around 
Elmhurst  is  Miss  Betty  Jane 
Millard,  student  teaching  under  Mr. 
Ken  Eytcheson. 

Miss  Millard  is  a  senior  at  Ball 
State  University  in  Muncie.  She  is 
majoring  in  English  and  minoring  in 
multi-culture  to  learn  to  teach  in  an 
inner  city  situation. 

The  24-year-old  blond  is  originally 
from  Cleveland,  Tennessee,  where 
she  attended  Bradley  High  School. 

She  said  she  was  very  pleased  to 
be  here  at  Elmhurst  and  is  anxious 
to  get  to  know  the  students  and  to 
sit  down  and  have  a  conversation 
with  them.  She  is  eager  to  get  star- 
ted teaching. 

Miss  Millard  will  be  teaching 
sophomore  English  in  room  160.  She 
will  be  here  at  Elmhurst  until  Nov. 
7,  when  she  graduates  from  Ball 
State.

To  The  Editor: 

And  everyone  is  wonder- 
ing why  there  was  a 
teachers'  strike? 

The  word  discipline  is  a 
total  joke  in  this  school 
system.  Even  self-defense  is 
no  longer  an  excuse  for  a 
teacher  striking  a  student. 
What  is  there  that  a  teacher 
can  do  if  there  should  be  real 
trouble  in  the  school? 
Absolutely  nothing. 

It  is  about  time  that  the 
school  board  stepped  into 
classrooms  and  saw  what  it 
is  like  to  teach  and/or  learn 
in  the  class  of  today.  They 
will  probably  be  in  for  a  big 
surprise.

Seven  enter  Merit  semifinals 


by  Marty  Miller 

Principal  Richard  Horstmeyer 
has  announced  that  seven  Elmhurst 
students  are  semifinalists  in  this 
year's  National  Merit  Scholarship 
program.  The  seven  are  Dave 
Beutler,  Wes  Byrne,  Matt  Gary, 
Yvette  Morrill,  Verne  Myers,  Tom 
Sunday,  and  Don  Wenger. 

These  seniors  are  among  15,000 
who  will  continue  in  the  competition 
for  about  3800  merit  scholarships  to 


be  awarded  next  spring. 

The  semifinaUsts  were  among 
over  one  million  students  who 
entered  the  Merit  Program  by 
taking  the  PSAT  (Preliminary 
Scholastic  Aptitude  Test)  last  year. 

They  are  the  highest-scoring 
students  in  each  state,  and 
represent  the  top  half  of  one  percent 
of  the  nation's  most  academic 
students. 


Members  of  the  1975  NoUonol  Merit  Scholarship  Program  finalists  are  (I  to  r  )  front 
row:  Dave  Beutler  Yvette  Morrill,  Tom  Sonday,  Back  row:  Matt  Cary,  Wes  Byrne,  Don 
Wenger.  and  Verne  Myers, 


To  continue  in  the  competition, 
semifinaUsts  may  advance  to  the 
finalist  position  by  receiving 
recommendations  from  Mr. 
Horstmeyer,  presenting  school 
records  that  show  high  academic 
standing,  and  confirming  their  high 
PSAT  scores  with  equally  high 
scores  on  their  SAT  (Scholastic 
Aptitude  Test).  Over  90%  of  the 
semifinalists  are  expected  to  qualify 
a9  finalists  and  to  receive 
certificates  of  merit  next  February. 

Every  finalist  competes  for  one  of 
the  1000  National  Merit  scholar- 
ships, valued  at  $1000.  These 
scholarships  are  one-time  awards 
sponsored  by  national  businesses 
and  industries. 

Some  finalists  may  qualify  for  one 
of  the  2800  4-year  Merit  Scholar- 
ships which  offer  the  wirmers  up  to 
$1500  during  each  of  the  four  years 
of  college. 

The  1976  competition  is  the 
twenty-first  that  the  National  Merit 
Scholarship  Corporation  has 
conducted  since  1956.  In  the  20 
Merit  Programs  completed  to  date, 
over  41,800  students  have  won 
scholarships  valued  at  more  than 
$113  million.

Ft.    Knox   trip  reveals 
'truth'   about  ROTC 


1 


He  was  interested  in  the  program, 
but  after  getting  a  glimpse  of  it  up 
close,  he  changed  his  mind,  because 
he  says,  "they  treat  those  guys  like 
animals  there." 

Senior  Tom  Sonday  used  to  be 
interested  in  what  the  ROTC 
program  could  do  for  him.  So,  when 
ROTC  announced  a  competition  for 
participation  in  a  "Student  Leader- 
ship Week"  in  Fort  Knox, 
Kentucky,  he  decided  to  apply. 
First,  he  had  to  be  chosen  by  his 
school,  but  since  no  one  else  applied 
at  Elmhurst,  that  step  of  the 
apphcation  was  easy.  Then  Tom  had 
to  write  a  letter  explaining  why  he 
wanted  to  participate  in  the  four- 
day  program.  Getting  past  that 
stage,  Tom  was  ready  to  learn  about 
officers'  careers,  along  with  68  other 
high  school  students. 

Instead  of  being  pleased  by  what 
he  saw  during  his  stay  in  Fort  Knox 
and  becoming  anxious  to  enter 
ROTC,  Tom  was  presented  with 
enough  information  to  make  him 
decide  dead  against  getting  involved 
with  ROTC.  Tom  said  he  learned  the 
truth  about  the  program  and  wasn't 
pleased  with  it.  Tom  went  around 
with  a  colonel,  and  since  this  colonel 
was  an  important  man  on  the  base, 
he    had    a    chauffeur.    When    Tom 


asked  the  driver  about  his  feelings 
concerning  ROTC,  the  driver 
answered  that  he  had  it  all  right 
because  he  was  a  driver,  but  on  the 
whole  it  was  a  bad  deal.  Tom  said 
the  driver  "really  cut  down  ROTC." 
Graduates  of  ROTC  are 
automatically  second  lieutenants 
and,  according  to  the  driver,  expect 
other  men  to  snap  at  their 
command,  Tom  left  with  the 
impression  that  ROTC  officers  were 
not  looked  upon  favorably  by  the 
enlisted  men. 

Another  incident  which  had  an 
unfavorable  effect  on  Tom  was  when 
the  group  was  watching  a  target 
practice  and  the  drill  sergeant,  if  he 
saw  a  shooter  miss  the  target, 
kicked  the  man.  Tom  went  on  to  say, 
"They  treat  those  guys  bke  animals 
there." 

However,  Tom  and  the  other 
members  of  the  group  were  treated 
very  well.  They  stayed  in  nice  air- 
conditioned  rooms  and  ate  in  the 
officers'  mess  hall.  They  watched 
tankguns  being  fired  and  also  were 
shown  inside  the  tanks,  which  was 
almost  Tom's  roommate's  downfall 
Thinking  that  everything  was 
turned  off,  Tom's  roommate  started 
the  tank  and  almost  got  kicked  out 
of  the  program! 


wo  spend  summer  in  Alaska 


fBoEHS  seniors  Sue  Marquis  and  Jim 
iibrough  who  moved  to  Alaska  at  the 
of  the  school  year  last  June,  have 
.^tly  returned  to  finish  their  high 
^jjil  education  here  at  Elmhurst  with 
^pg  short  of  many  stories  about  the 
.  ^ey  conformed  to  during  their  two 
ilha'stay, 

jiie  two.  who  incidentally  are  cousins, 

?n  the  opportunity  to  s[)end  time

jconcrete  that  goes  into  the  pipeline. 

[lugh  both  families  have  returned  to 

Wayne,  both  of  the  fathers   have 

gained  there,  where  they  have  to  stay 

least    one    more    year    until    their 

airacts  are  over. 

bbpay  big 

ffie  town  Sue  and  Jim  lived  in  was 
iijdez,   Alaska,    located   approximately 

I  miles  west  of  Anchorage.  Veldez  has 
, population  of  1200  citizens,  but  with  a 
taV  force  continually  arriving  it  is 
pjckly  increasing. 

The  housing  for  both  was  set  up  and 
mvided  by  the  tompany  their  fathers 
rfrt  staff  members  at.  as  was  their 
•insportation    and     moving    costs     to 

Uiska. 


The  two  spent  much  of  their  s 
Alaska  working.  Sue,  who  had  a  job  in 
Valdez's  one  and  only  drugstore, 
averaged  40  to  50  hours  a  week  working. 
She  earned  S3. 00  an  hour  as  a  sales  clerk. 
Jim  on  the  other  hand,  was  one  of 
Valdez's  many  construcCten  workers.  He 
earned  $10,35  an  hour  and  worked  10 
hours  8  day.  six  days  a  week 

Milkahakes  over  SI 

The  main  difference  Sue  and  Jim  found 
between  the  life  in  Alaska  and  here  were 
the  much  higher  prices.  Jim  commented 


that  groceries  cost  quite  a  bit  more.  For 
example,  he  stated  that  a  roast  that 
would  feed  four  people  cost 
approximately  $15  there.  Milkshakes  in 
Alaska  are  $1.35  and  to  eat  out 
inexpensively  in  one  of  Valdez's 
restaurants  it  would  cost  about  t«n 
dollars  per  person  for  a  dinner. 

When  asked  how  she  felt  about  what 
she  had  experienced  during  the  summer, 
Sue  concluded,  "The  town  was  very 
different.  It  was  very  difficult  to  meet 
people  at  first,  but  once  you've  lived  there 
for  awhile  you  get  close  to  people. ' ' 


TWO  ELMHURST  STUDENTS.  Sue  Marquis  and  Jim  Yarborough,  recently 
returned  to  Fort  Wayne  after  a  two-month  stay  in  Voider,  Alaska.  The  two 
returned  to  complete  their  senior  year  at  Elmhurst,  although  both  their  fathers 
remained  in  Valdez  for  another  year  and  a  half  They  will  return  when  their  con- 
tracts are  up. 


Float  earns  $200 

Members  of  the  varsity  and 
reserve  cheerleading  squads 
undertook  a  money-making  project 
during  summer  vacation  that  earned 
them  $200,  which  will  help  defray 
the  cost  of  new  letter  jackets  needed 
for  this  year's  athletic  season. 

Under  the  guidance  of  Neil 
Heister  of  Erie  Haven  Company,  the 
cheerleaders  helped  to  build  a  float 
sponsored  by  May  Stone  and  Sand, 
Inc.  The  float  was  entered  into 
competition  in  the  Three  Rivers 
Festival  parade  July  5,  and  a  week 
later  in  the  New  Haven  Canal  Days 
parade.  In  the  TRF  parade  the  float 
placed  fourth  out  of  approximately 
60  float  participants. 

The  theme  of  the  float,  which 
when  completed  cost  about  $700  to 
construct,  was  styled  in  pre-historic 
times.  The  cheerleaders  were 
dressed  in  cave  women  costumes 
and  carried  mallets  to  break  up  the 
rocks  on   the  float. 


in  brief 

The  Elmhurst  reserve 
football  team  suffered  its 
third  consecutive  loss  last 
Sept.  22  to  a  good  Bishop 
Dwenger  squad.  Ehnhurst 
faced  the  Saints  on 
Elmhurst  turf  and  was 
blanked  22-0.  For  the  third 
time,  a  game  went  without 
.scoring. 

Although  the  score  might 
not  indicate  it,  the  Elmhurst 
squad  improved  its  play 
from  the  previous  two 
contests.  The  offense 
penetrated  inside  Dwenger's 
20  yard-line  twice  in  the  first 
half  but  couldn't  put  the 
points  on  the  board. 


The  Elmhurst  girls  volley- 
ball team  was  defeated  by 
two  strong  Northrop  and 
Bishop  Dwenger  teams  last 
Tuesday  night  at  Bishop 
Dwenger  High  School. 

In  the  first  match, 
Elmhurst  faced  the 
Northrop  Bruins  in  a  tough 
match  but  was  defeated  15-6, 
12-15, 15-4. 

In  the  second  game  of  the 
evening,  the  Trojans  went 
up  against  Bishop  Dwenger 
but  fell  to  the  Saints  in  a 
close  game  with  scores  of  15- 
9,8-15,  15-2. 


^aieidc^co^  0^  4.ftent4.  -  te^mc^ 


by  Kevin  Lee 

In  the  beginning,  there 
were  14  young  men.  In  the 
end,  there  was  a  team.  A 
team  that  was  one.  One  that 
was  joyful  when  there  was 
cause  to  be  joyful  and  one 
that  was  sad  when  there  was 
cause  to  be  sad.  But  they  are 
one. 

When  the  year  began 
there  wasn't  a  single  coach 
in  Fort  Wayne  that  took  the 
tennis  team  as  being  for  real. 
Elmhurst  was  just  supposed 
to  be  another  cellar  dwelling 
patsy  against  whom  you 
could  bolster  your  record. 
Well,  now  that  the  season  is 
near  its  end  and  if  you  would 
take  a  poll  about  who's  the 
team  in  the  city  with  the 
best  chance  to  succeed  in 
sectionals,  Elmhurst  would 
be  there  at  the  top  along 
with  Dwenger. 

The  following  are  some 
possible  excerpts  from  city 
coaches  in  mythical 
interviews  about  the  Trojan 
tennis  team.  For  instance, 
an  episode  in  the  interview 
with  Wayne's  coach  Everett 
Havens. 

Roving   Reporter;    Coach 
I  Havens,  now  that  the  season 


is  almost  over,  what  do  you 
think  of  the  Elmhurst  tennis 
team? 

Coach  Havens:  Well, 
when  you  think  of  the  odds 
at  the  beginning  of  the 
season  and  the  oddballs  that 
were  on  the  team,  their 
chances  were  as  slim  as  a 
thin  dime  that  had  been  run 
over  by  an  army  of 
steamrollers. 

Roving  Reporter;  One 
more  question  before  you 
pass  away,  Coach  Havens. 
If  you  had  been  Elmhurst's 
tennis  coach,  what  things 
different  would  you  have 
done  with  the  team 
members? 

Coach  Havens:  Well,  in 
the  beginning  I  would  have 
cut  all  seniors  and 
considered  this  year  a 
rebuilding  year.  Secondly,  I 
would  have  put  all  the 
members'  names  in  a  hat 
and  drawn  them  out  of  it 
and  placed  them  accord- 
ingly. 

The  next  interview  was 
with  Father  Xavier.  coach  of 
Bishop  Luers  Knights,  who 
were  by  a  "miracle"  upset 
by  the  unbelievable 
Elmhurst     netmen     by     a 


score  of  4-3. 

Roving  Reporter:  Father 
Coach  Xavier,  can  you 
believe  what  great  feats  the 
Elmhurst  tennis  team  has 
accomplished  this  season? 

Father  Xavier;  My  son, 
before  the  season  started  1 
wouldn't  have  given  them  a 
martyr's  chance. 

Roving  Reporter:  Father 
Coach  Xavier,  how  do  you 
plan  to  beat  Elmhurst  in 
sectionals? 

Father    Xavier:    With 
stick,    with   a   hoe,   or   with 
anything  I  can  find. 

And  so  the  conversation, 
or  should  we  say 
conflagration,  ended.  Father 
Coach  Xavier  was  the 
highlight  of  the  coaches 
interviewed,  but  Northrop's 
coach,  Mr.  Jim  Keim,  was 
the  most  frank. 

Roving  Reporter:  Coach 
Keim,  how  did  your  boys 
play  tonight? 
Coach  Keim:  Like  boys. 
Roving  Reporter:  Coach 
Keim,  what  do  you  think  of 
Elmhurst's  tennis  team? 

Coach  Keim:  I  think  I  am 
going  to  check  up  on  their 
ages.     One     guy     had     a 


moustache. 

Roving  Reporter:  Well,  if 
you  don't  believe  that  their 
ages  are  correct  and  that 
they  are  eligible  to 
participate  in  high  school 
tennis,  then  maybe  you  had 
better  take  your  chances  and 
go  talk  it  over  with  Mr, 
Bienz. 

As  you  can  see,  our  roving 
reporter  has  a  mind  of  hi; 
own  and  speaks  it.

There  is  no  place  to  buy  ham- 
burgers in  Maria's  home  town  of 
Alajueia,  but  thirty  miles  away  in 
the  capital  city  of  San  Jose,  there 
are  two  McDonald's  and  a  Pizza 
Hut! 

Hamburgers  just  aren't  eaten  too 
often  in  Costa  Rica,  whert 
Elmhurst's  AFS  exchange  student 
is  from,  Maria  Elena  Arguello 
Sibaja  and  her  friends  would  more 
likely  go  out  for  tacos  p'ter  a  movie 
or  maybe  to  a  Swiss  baktry.  Just  as 
American  teen-agers  might  find  a 
life  without  hamburgers  a  bit 
different  from  what  they're  used  to. 
Maria  has  found  it  different  to  eat  so 
many  American-style  sandwiches 
and  other  foods  which  she  says 
"aren't  really  cuoktu  (plain  baked, 
fried,  or  broiled  pieces  of  meat  dent 
count).  But  Maria  claims  she  likes 
just  about  anything,  so  the  food  is 
causing  her  "no  problems." 


Differences  aren't  just  in  food 

The  United  States  isn't  wholly 
new  to  Maria,  Some  aspects  of  it  she 
has  heard  about  before.  Costa  Rican 
youths  listen  to  rock  music  from 
many  different  countries,  but 
mostly  from  the  U.S.  Maria  says  she 
doesn't  understand  why  that  is  so. 
Commonly  heard  U.S.  groups  are 
Chicago  and  America.  They  differ 
from  typical  Costa  Rican  rock 
groups  in  that  they  use  a  lot  of 
electric  guitars  and  don't  use  the

marimba.  Maria,  of  course,  heard 
many  things  about  the  U.S.  before 
she  left,  but  she  refuses  to  repeat 
what  they  were. 

Living  in  Fort  Wayne  is  a  lot 
different  from  a  life  in  Alajueia 
according  to  Maria,  and  the 
differences  aren't  just  in  the  food. 
Although  Alajueia  is  the  second 
largest  city  in  Costa  Rica,  it's  one  of 
the  'old  cities'  as  Maria  puts  it,  and 


not    much    over    20,000    in    There's 


cultures,  everyone  eats  his  lunch 
home.  A  school  day  lasts  from  J

students  have  more  require 
classes:  religion,  music,  gy„ 
Spanish,  three  years  of  Frencl, 
three  years  of  Enghsh,  and  then  t«' 
more  years  of  either  French  o 
EngUsh.  Each  student  takes  eleve, 
subjects  a  year.

EHS  loses  to  Saints,  routs  Hawks 


The  Elmhurst  Trojans 
added  a  game  to  both  the 
win  and  loss  columns  in  the 
past  two  weeks  by  losing  a 
close  game  to  Dwenger  7-0, 
Sept.  19  and  by  defeating 
Harding  28-8  the  following 
Friday. 

There  was  a  great  sigh  of 
relief  from  Dwenger  fans 
after  the  game  between  the 
Trojans  and  the  Saints  as 
Dwenger  pushed  across  the 
only  score  of  the  game 
during  the  second  quarter. 


The  score  by  the  Saints  was 
the  only  sign  of  offensive 
strength  by  either  team  as 
the  contest  turned  into  a 
classic  defensive  battle. 

Although  the  Trojans 
didn't  score,  they  did  have  a 
couple  of  golden 

opportunities.  At  one  time 
the  Trojans  moved  the  ball 
down  to  the  Dwenger  14 
only  to  lose  the  ball  by  way 
of  a  fumble.  Dwenger  then 
took  over  and  on  the  next 
play  fumbled  the  ball  and

the  Trojans  recovered  on  the 
Saints'  23.  This  time  the 
Elmhurst  offense  could  not 
move  the  ball  and  a  field 
goal  attempt  of  45  yards 
failed. 

Coach  pleased 

Even  with  the  loss.  Coach 
Herman  feels  that  his  team 
played  very  well.  As  a 
matter  of  fact  he  described 
the  game  as  the  best 
defensive  effort  the  Trojans 
have  put  forth  in  his  two 
years  of  coaching  them. 
Coach  Herman  feels  that  the 
defensive  unit  has  improved 
considerably  since  the  start 
of  the  year  (only  15  points 
have  been  scored  against  the 
Trojans  since  their  opener 
against  North  Side),  and  one 
of  the  biggest  reasons  for 
the  improvement  was  the 
addition  of  junior  Dave 
Stein  at  the  inside  safety 
position, 

"He  had  a  key 
interception  in  the  Dwenger 
game  that  stopped  a  drive, 
and  also  is  one  of  the  team's 
leading  tacklers. ' ' 
commented  Coach  Herman. 
Coach        Herman        also 


commented  that  the 
addition  of  sophomore  guard 
Domingo  Garcia  has  helped 
add  to  the  strength  of  the 
Elmhurst  offensive  line. 

Football  or  track 

The  Elmhurst-Harding 
contest  last  Friday  evening 
almost  turned  into  a  track 
meet  during  the  first  half  as 
junior  Curtis  PaschalJ  raced 
for  208  yards  and  three 
touchdowns.  Paschall's  first 
6  pointer  came  after  the 
Hawks  fumbled  on  the  first 
play  of  the  game  to  give  the 
Trojans  the  ball  on  the 
Harding  28.  The  touchdown 
came  on  a  12-yard  spurt  for 
the  score.  The  next  time  the 
Trojan  offense  got  the  ball, 
the  Elmhurst  front  Hne 
opened  a  huge  hole  and 
Paschall  darted  through  and 
past  the  Hawks'  secondary 
for  a  61  yard  score. 
Paschall's  third  score  came 
in  the  second  period  on  a  28 


yarder  around  the  right  side 
The  fourth  Elmhurs 
touchdown  came  when 
senior  Dave  Chrzan  picked 
up  a  blocked  punt  and  ran  22 
yards  down  the  side  lines  for 
the  score  which  sent  the 
Trojan  fans  into  hysteria 

The  only  other  Troj  an 
score  came  in  the  third 
period  when  junior  Moe 
Fink  broke  the  monotony 
with  a  30-yard  field  goal  that 
made  the  final  score  28-8. 

The  Trojans  are  now  in 
tie  for  second  place  in  the 
SAC  South  Division  with 
Bishop  Luers,  who  defeated 
Dwenger  22-8.  Elmhurst's 
next  contest  will  be  against 
South  Side  this  Friday.  The 
Archers  lead  the  South 
Division  with  a  2-0  record 
Both  Luers  and  the  Trojans 
have  2-1  records.

Freedom    is    a    very    important  |    J^ 
concept  to  two  of  Elmhurst's  new 
students.  Quang  Nguyen,  and   his 
female  cousin,  Loan. 

Last  April.  Quang  and  Loan 
(pronounced  L'wan)  along  with  their 
families,  boarded  a  plane  in  Saigon, 
Viet  Nam,  that  carried  them  away 
from  their  friends,  their  home,  and 
their  country.  The  Nguyens  left  Viet 
Nam  in  order  to  avoid  the  Viet 
Cong.  As  Quang  explains,  "I  am 
free.  I  have  to  leave  Saigon  before 
the  Viet  Cong  come."  And  with  Viet 
Cong  comes  communism,  something  |ft,.

to  singers  Uke  Elton  John,  Olivia 
Newton-John,  and  Lobo.  There  are 
also  American,  French,  Chinese,  and 
Italian  restaurants  to  go  to. 

Students  in  Viet  Nam  want  to 
come  to  the  United  States  after  they 
graduate  from  high  school  to  attend 
college.  Loan  and  Quang  also 
wanted  to  come  to  the  U.S.  for 
college,  but  now  American  is  their 
permanent  home.  Neither  one 
expects  to  be  able  to  return  to  Viet 
Nam.  The  only  way  they  would 
return  is  if  the  government  changed, 
and  that  is  something  no  one  can 
foresee. 


Quang  and  Loan  fear  very  much. 
Before  reaching  the  United  States, 
the  Nguyen  familes,  with  other 
Vietnamese  refugees,  lived  in  the 
Philippines,  becoming  accoustomed 
to  their  new  environment.  From  the 
Phillipines,  they  traveled  to  Eglin 
Air  Force  Base  in  Florida,  and 
finally  to  Fort  Wayne. 

Both  families  reside  in  Colony 
Bay  Apartments.  Quang,  who  just 
turned  18  Sept.  9,  lives  with  his 
mother  and  father,  one  sister  and 
one  brother.  Fifteen-year-old  Loan 
shares  a  rather  crowded  apartment 
with  her  parents,  one  brother  and 
six  sisters. 

They  both  like  Elmhurst,  but  find 
the  differences  between  American 
schools    and    Vietnamese    schools 


numerous.  In  Viet  Nam  classes  are 
not  co-ed.  Students  attend  school 
from  either  8-12  or  1-5,  and  classes 
such  as  physics,  chemistry,  and 
foreign  languages  begin  in  the  sixth 
grade. 

Loan  commented  on  the  student- 
teacher  relationship  in  the  United 
States  saying,  "There  is  no  respect 
for  the  teachers  here.  In  Viet  Nam 
respect  is  very  important." 

Recreation  in  Saigon  is  very 
similar  to  recreation  common  to 
Americans.  But  according  to  Loan 
living  is  cheap  in  Saigon,  something 
most  Americans  would  welcome 
right  now.  Loan  and  Quang 
attended  American  and  French 
movies.  American  music  is  very 
popular  In  Saigon  teenagers  listen

"Styles  come  and  go,  but  one 
that  never  seems  to  disappear 
is  the  long  skirt."'  stated  one 
female  fashion  follower. 

Long  skirts  and  dresses  can 
be  found  today  in  almost  every 
clothing  and  department  store, 
and  several  discount  stores  in 
the  Fort  Wayne  area. 

According  to  women's 
clothing  salespeople,  girls  are 
buying  long  fashions  because 
they  are  comfortable, 
economical,  and  good  looking. 
They  cover  up  not-so-perfect 
legs  and  several  other  body 
imperfections. 

With  below-the-knee  but 
above-the-ankle  dresses, 
platform  shoes  are  often  \vorn. 
Also,  boots  are  said  to  go  well 
with  them.

platform  shoes  or  flat  sandals 
are  used. 

What  styles  do  these  long 
fashions  come  in?  There  are 
dresses  that  can  be  compared 
to  potato  sacks,  and  there  are 
dresses  that  tie  and  emphasize 
the  waist.  There  are  knee- 
length,  calf-length,  undefin- 
able-length,  and  ankle-length 
dresses. 

The  price?  Anyone  shopping 
at  the  local  malls  can  find 
dresses  and  skirts  priced 
from'15to$80. 

For  winter  comfort,  there  are 
even  long  coats  available.  They 
can  be  found  at  department 
stores  and  boutiques  anywhere 
and  are  priced  from 
approximately  $40  up. 

Fashion  experts  are 
predicting  a  long  life  for  long 
sytles.  Maybe  now  is  the  time

COUNCIL  PRES .  DISCUSSES  COURT  IDEA 


[,y  Tom  Sonday 

Student  Council  President 

There  has  been  a  great  deal  of 
planning  done  for  the  coming  year 
Ijv  this  year's  student  council 
officers  and  already  a  small  but 
growing  controversy  has  begun. 

This  controversy  revolves  around 
[he  idea  of  a  student  court  designed 
10  judge  truancy  and  smoking,  and 
other  disciplinary  cases.  Although 
the  possibility  of  a  student  court  has 
been  kept  in  relative  secrecy  up  to 
this  point,  those  close  to  the  council 
officers  have  been  aware  of  it  for 
some  time.  Basically,  the  two  fields 
of  thought  are  as  follows:  first,  that 
it  would  be  a  good  thing,  and 
second,  that  it  wouldn't  have  a 
chance  of  working. 

Court  idea  successful 
Id  other  schools 

There  are  many  good  arguments 
for  both  cases.  There  can  be  no 
denying  the  fact,  however,  that  the 
student  court  idea  has  worked  in 
other  high  schools  in  Indiana, 
although  none  of  these  schools  are  in 
the  Fort  Wayne  Community  school 
district.  If  the  court  works  it  will 
establish  Elmhurst's  student 
government  leadership  within  the 
city   and    will    add   enormously    to 


Elmhurst.  If  it  fails,  it  will  serve  as  a 
warning  to  other  high  schools  and 
perhaps,  even  give  a  future  student 
council  a  model  to  work  from  in 
order  to  design  a  student  court  that 
wouldn't  fail.  At  any  rate,  in  case  of 
failure,  we  lose  nothing. 

Set  pattern  guarded  against 

At  this  time,  an  official 
presentation  of  the  idea  fias  not  been 
made  to  Mr.  Horstmeyer,  but  this  is 
how  the  court  will  work  if  it  become 
a  reality.  There  will  be  three  judges 
all  with  equal  authority.  One  will 
serve  for  an  entire  year,  while  the 
other  two  will  serve  only  one 
semester.  This  will  keep  the  courts 
from  getting  too  set  in  a  certain 
pattern.  Those  against  the  court 
argue  that  the  courts  will  become 
just  that-set  in  a  pattern  that  would 
see  it  become  too  strict  or  too 
lenient.  Obviously  this  possibility  is 
guarded  against.  Besides  this 
guard,  if  a  student  feels  that  his  case 
has  been  tried  unfairly,  he  may 
appeal  it  to  the  principal. 

There  is  also  a  fear  that  the 
student  council,  being  the  originator 
of  the  court,  would  also  control  it. 
The  constitution  for  the  court 
would,  however,  block  this  by 
keeping  any  judge  from   being   a 


member  of  the  student  council. 
Therefore,  the  student  council  and 
the  student  court  would  be 
completely  separate  aspects  of 
Elmhurst's  student  government, 
except  for  the  nominations  of  the 
judges,  which  would  be  made  by  the 
council,  but  would  also  be  approved 
by  the  principals. 

Student  court:  a  radical  change 

It  is  true  that  the  idea  of  a  court 
run  by  students  for  students  would 
be  a  radical  change  in  our  high 
school,  but  the  officers  feel  that  it 
would  be  an  excellecnt  and  probably 
the  best  way  to  get  more  student 
input  into  the  disciplinary  code* 
that  are  set  up  for  us  by  the 
administration.  Unfortunately, 
because  of  the  many  things  about 
the  idea  that  must  be  worked  out, 
there  is  little  chance  that  the  court 
can  be  organized  before  January  of 
the  school  year.  In  the  meantime, 
the  schedule  for  the  first  semester  of 
student  council  sponsored  events  as 
it  stands  now  is  as  follows: 
Sept.  17  -  Senior  class  elections 
Sept.  24  -  junior  fmd  sophomore 
class  elections 

Oct.     1  Representative     and 

alternate  elections 


Oct.  7-First  student  council  meeting 
Oct.       17       -Homecoming       and 
homecoming  dance 
Oct.  27  -  Fund  raising  competition 
with  all  area  high  schools  begins 
Nov,  15  ■  Penny  arcade 
Dec.  20  -  emiformal  dance 
Jan.  24  -  Dance  marathon 

Besides  this,  there  will  be  a 
method  of  reporting  student  council 
activities  to  the  student  body.  This' 
may  be  done  either  by  releases  to  the 
newspaper  by  use  of  a  specific 
bulletin  board  where  meeting 
agenda  would  be  posted,  or  possibly 
by  assigning  each  representative  a 
homeroom  to  report  to. 

We  are  looking  forward  to  the 
best  student  council  year  yet,  and 
we  hope  you  will  give  us  your 
support  in  all  of  our  various 
endeavors. 


Reactions  to  this  article  and  the 
idea  of  a  student  court  would  be 
appreciated.  Letters  should  be  taken 
to  room  108.  All  letters  will  be  con- 
sidered for  publication  unless  other- 
wise indicated  by  the  writer. 


Trofans  elect 
Council  reps 

Room  162  seemed  incredibly  like 
election  headquarters  on  October  8 
as  the  Student  Council 
representative  ballots  were 
tabulated.  Amid  the  rustUng  of 
what  often  appeared  to  be  millions 
of  votes  and  the  occasional  cursing 
that  always  accompanies  an 
endeavor  of  this  type,  eight 
representatives  and  two  alternates 
were  chosen  from  each  class. 

Stan  Sorgen  got  the  most  votes  in 
the  senior  class  while  Nancy  Beadie. 
Yvette  Morrill,  and  Phil  Gutman 
returned  to  the  Student  Council  for 
the  third  consecutive  year.  Other 
representatives  are  Kevin  Lee. 
Andrea  Marchese,  Ann  Momper, 
and  Linda  Morsches.  Alternates  are 
Betsy  Barber  and  Matt  Cary. 

The  juniors  gave  Dave  Stein  the 
most  votes  with  others  being  Jan 
Dowling,  Tom  Cross,  Sue 
Frankewich,  Kellie  Slate,  Leslie 
Collier,  Tod  Huntley,  and  Sue 
Taylor.  Alternates  are  Terri 
McCombs  and  Matt  Tyler. 

Ron  Hill  collected  the  most  votes 
with  Derrick  DeBruce  close  behind 
for  the  sophomores.  Others  are  Joan 
Landrigan,  Kim  Burry,  Cheryl 
Hobbs,  Liz  Macias,  Sandy  Ross, 
and  Barb  Dixon.  Alternates  are 
Cindy  Lemaster  and  Kim  Perry.

One  of  the  many  privileges  (?)  of 
being  a  Trojan  is  going  to  the 
assemblies.  On  September  30, 
Campus  Life  presented  a  concert  for 
the  benefit  of  Elmhurst  by  Lindy 
Hearne  and  his  wife  Linda. 

Lasting  approximately  30 
minutes,  the  concert  consisted 
mostly  of  Lindy's  own  country 
songs  along  with  some  popular 
songs. 

Campus  Life  also  sponsored  a 
Burger  Bash  which  was  held  on 
Cathy  Tonn's  front  lawn  Oct.  1. 
The  event  drew  over  100  Trojans 
with  around  600  hamburgers  being 
served. 

The  cost  of  the  Burger  Bash,  only 
$1  per  person,  entitled  that  person 
to  as  many  hamburgers  as  he  or  she 


wanted  to  eat. 

The  record  previously  set  was  29 
hamburgers  eaten  by  one  person. 
Bill  Campbell,  affectionately  known 
as  "Bubbles"  around  E.H.S.,  ate  a 
record-setting  31  hamburgers. 

Mike  Mullen  and  Mike  Maurer 
also  added  some  entertainment  by 
challenging  each  other  to  a  grape- 
stomping  contest.  Mike  Maurer 
came  out  on  top. 

The  philosophy  of  Campus  Life  is 
to  help  students  develop  mentally, 
physically,  socially,  and  spiritually. 
In  Fort  Wayne,  Campus  Life  is  a 
division  of  Youth  for  Christ.

GENTLEGIANT: 
FREE  HAND 

There  seems  to  be  a  lot  of 
people  who  are  either  bored 
stymied  by  the 
complexity  of  most 
progressive  English  bands, 
and  despite  the  fact  that 
Gentle  Giant's  Free  Hand  is 
undoubtedly  one  of  the  best 
albums  in  this  area  and  in 
■ock  music  as  a  whole,  it 
unfortunately  probably 
won't  convince  these  people 
into  liking  it. 

The  album  consists  of 
seven  songs,  only  two  of 
which  ("Time  to  Kill"  and 
"His  Last  Voyage")  are 
typical  Gentle  Giant.  These 
two  unfortunately  lack  the 
originality  of  the  others.  The 
five  remaining  songs  are 
also  distinctly  Gentle  Giant, 
but  with  rhythmic  twists  as 
in  "Just  the  Same"  and 
madrigal  effects  in  "On 
Reflection."  These  are 
possibly  the  two  best  songs 
on  the  record.  "Free  Hand" 
is  a  bit  more  rough  than  the 
rest  of  the  songs,  but 
"Talybont"  slips  into  the 


classical  genre   to  compen- 
sate. 

On  the  whole,  the  album  is 
a  piece  of  rock  artistry  (if 
artistry  in  rock  is  possible), 
but   it   may    indeed   prove 
rough  listening  for  those  not 
used  to  the  music  form. 
ROBERTO 
CACCIAPAGLIA: 
SONANZE 

This  week's  import  is  an 
Italian  release  which  is 
somewhat  reminiscent  of  the 
Fripp/Eno  album  reviewed 
earlier.  However  for  some 
odd  reason,  Sonanze  has  an 
appeal  which  No 

Pussyfooting  was   totally 
lacking  in. 

Even  though  the  album 
tends  to  give  one  the  same 
sci-fi  feeling.  Cacciapaglia 
has,  by  orchestrating  the 
record,  given  it  a  depth  that 
the  other  did  not  have. 
Sonanze  also  consists  of 
many  compositions,  instead 
of  just  the  two  on 
Pussyfooting.  The  pieces 
also,  for  the  most  part,  do 
have  some  melodic  line,  even 
though  the  vehicle  used  to 
present  them  is  at  times 
bizarre. 


All  told,  one  gets  the 
feeling  that  there  is  more  to 
Cacciapaglia  than  to  his 
electrified  counterparts.  The 
album  is  strange,  but  good, 
and  it  may  prove  both  an 
extra  ordinary  and  interest- 
ing experience  for  the 
listener. 

JOEFARRELL: 
CANNED FUNK 

Canned  Funk  may  be 
extremely  funky,  but  it's 
anything  but  canned.  Joe 
Farrell  has  produced  some  of 
the  most  alive  jazz  and  one 
of  the  brightest  albums 
ever. 

The  great  thing  about  the 
record  is  that  it  never  lets 
the  listener  down.  From  the 
opening  number  on  side  one, 
"Canned  Funk,"  even  to  the 
comparatively  softer  and 
less  funky  "Spoken 
Silence,"  the  driving  pace  of 
the  album  is  maintained,  yet 
with  no  real  wear  on  the 
listener. 

The  personnel  on  the 
album  include  Joe  Beck  on 
guitar.  Jim  Madison  on 
drums,  Ray  Mantilla  on 
congas  and  percussion,  Herb 
Bushier  on  bass  and  Farrell 


New  Allen  movie 
points  up  artistry 


There  reaches  a  point  when  it 
becomes  necessary  to  stop 
speaking  about  an  artist  in  terms 
of  being  one  of  the  best  and  start 
talking  about  him  as  the  best,  Fc 
Woody  Allen  that  point  has  come 
with  the  release  of  his  new  movie 
Love  and  Death. 

Allen  has  played  humorist  and 
satirist  in  a  succession  of  movie; 
which,  without  exception,  havn 
proved  themselves  classic  pieces  of 
humor.  In  Sleeper,  Play  it  Again, 
Sam,  Bananas,  and  now  Love  end 
Death,  he  maintains  consistently 
brilliant  standards,  not  only  in 
writing,  but  in  diiection  and 
performance  as  well. 

The  story  line  of  the  film  centers 
around  themes  in  Russian 
literature,     particularly     Tolstoy's 


War  and  Peace.  As  a  parody.  Love 
and  Death  succeeds  by  playing 
upon  all  the  ominous  and 
overpowering  aspects  of  the  form, 
and  in  the  end.  making  them 
totalJy  absurd.  For  example,  in  the 
war  scenes,  the  battles  are 
accomppnied  by  cheerleaders  and  a 
man  who  sells  Blinis  (hot  dogsl  for 
one  ruble,  Allen's  treatment  of  the 
"deep  "  conversations  found  in  this 
type  of  literature  translates  itself 
into  psuedo-intellectual  cocktail 
jargon. 

All  in  all.  Love  and  Death  is  a 
film  definately  worth  seeing  ■■  even 
seeing  several  times.  For  Allen,  the 
film  is  par  for  the  course,  for  the 
audience  it  is  par  excellence  and  for 
comedy  in  general,  it  is  yet  another 
.\llen  classic. 


himself  on  tenor,  soprano, 
and  baritone  saxes  and  flute. 
Farrell "s  solos  are  high 
points  on  the  album,  but  the 
rest  of  the  band's 
performances  are  superb 
also. 

Farrell's  compositions  are 
truly  amazing.  "Suite 
Martinique"  manages  to 
combine  strong  blues/funk 
rhythms  with  an  occasional 
lilting  melodic  theme  from 
classical  composer  Rimsky- 


Korsakoff's 
"Scheherazade".  "Spoken 
Silence"  is  probably  one  of 
the  few  jazz  pieces  ever 
written  capable  of  balancing 
the  emotions  of  the  listener 

Altogether,  the  album 
puts  itself  together  by  being 
both  driving,  funky  and 
bhght,  without  managing  to 
be  obnoxious.  A  great 
album,  especially  for  a 
party.  Canned  Funk  rates  an 
A.

Many  more  spirit 
arousing  activities  are 
planned  as  the  half  way 
marli  approaches  in  this 
year's  Homecoming  week 
gala. 

Today  is  Student  Council 
sponsored  Bicentennial 
Wednesday.  Students  are  to 
have  come  to  school  today 
decked  out  in  the  all- 
American  red,  white,  and 
blue. 

Tomorrow  is  dress  up  day. 
Students  are  reminded  to 
wear  their  Sunday  best, 
while  Friday  will  be  just  the 
opposite,  dress  down  day. 
Students  should  choose 
their  worst  closet  selections. 
Winding  up  the  week's 
activities,  classes  will 
assemble  for  the  annual 
homecoming  parade  and  pre- 
game  pep  session. 
Competing  classes,  clubs, 
and  organizations  will 
present  their  floats  to  the 
panel  of  judges  made  up  of, 
several  city  celebrities. 
Awards  will  be  presented  for 
the  best  efforts  in  each  of 
the  designated  categories. 

Festivities  will  climax 
with  the  crowning  of  the 
queen   at   halftime   of   the 


homecoming  game. 

The  highlight  of  today's 
activities  will  be  the 
powderpuff  football  game. 

Starting  quarterbacks  for 
the  seniors  and  the  juniors, 
Selma  Vaughn  and  Lynn 
HoUoweD,  respectively,  will 
be  facing  off  this  afternoon 
at  4:30  on  the  Elmhurst 
field. 

Powerpuff  football  is 
where  "all  those  nice  things 
your  mother  taught  you  " 
are  pushed  aside,  and 
replaced  with  "the  rough 
and  tough  legal  tactics"  that 
coaches  Jim  McCleneghen 
and  Tim  Beck  have  been 
quietly  drilling. 

In  the  past,  the  game  has 
been  nothing  less  than  an 
all-out  brawl;  this  year, 
however,  wiU  be  different. 
Both  the  juniors  and  the 
seniors  have  decided  that 
Powderpuff  is  a  game,  and  it 
will  be  treated  hke  a  game. 

"We've  just  decided  that 
there's  a  lot  at  stake  when 
you  play  this  kind  of  game," 
senior  Selma  Vaughn 
commented.  "We  are  all 
good  friends  and  are  just 
out  to  have  a  lot  of  fun," 


Seven  EHS  seniors  were 
recently  recognized  as 
commended  scholars  by  the 
National  Merit  Scholarship 
program. 

Principal  Richard 
Horstmeyer  announced  that 
Nancy  Beadie,  Roberta 
Cohen,  Karen  Crippen,  Barb 
Harman,  Mike  Mullen,  Les 
Novitsky,  and  Cindy  Ross 
received  letters  of 

recommendation. 

These  students  are  seven 
of  38,000  nationally 
recognized  scholars,  part  of 
a  million  high  school 
students  who  took  their 
PSAT  tests  in  1974. 
The  commended  students 


represent  less  than  two  per 
cent  of  those  high  school 
seniors  expected  to  graduate 
next  June. 

Although  the  seven 
ranked  high  on  the  PSAT 
tests,  they  do  not  go  further 
in  the  Merit  Scholarship 
competition  because  their 
scores  were  just  below  those 
of  the  16,000  semifinalists 
recognized  at  the  beginning 
of  the  school  year.  Elmhurst 
has  seven  Merit 

semifinaUsts  this  year.  They 
are  Dave  Beutler,  Wes 
Byrne,  Matt  Cary,  Yvette 
Morrill,  Verne  Myers,  Tom 
Sonday,  and  Don  Wenger. 
These  students  will  compete 


for  about  3800  Merit 
Scholarships  to  be  awarded 
next  spring. 

The  commendation  will 
increase  the  students' 
chances  of  college 

acceptance  and  means  that 
they  will  very  likely  be 
sought  after  by  colleges  and 
universities.  The  test  scores 
will  be  sent  to  the  schools 
they  chose  when  taking  the 
PSAT.

School  plagued  by  vandaWsm; 
students,  parents  pay  costs 


Elmhurst  High  School  is 
the  building  where  each  and 
every  Trojan  attends 
classes,  day  in  and  day  out. 
1 1  is  where  friends  meet, 
talk,  and  hang  out  together 
for  seven  hours  a  day.  Clubs, 
studies,  and  social  activities 
originate  in  and  around  the 
school,  providing  a  center  of 
activity  which  for  many,  if 
not  most,  students  is  the 
only  one  in  their  lives. 
Elmhurst  is  a  school  of  the 
student  body,  but 
unfortunately  to  others  is  a 
piece  of  property  to  be  used, 
misused,  and  taken  for 
granted. 

Vandalism,  that  is, 
misuse  or  unreasoned 
destruction  of  property,  has 
been  a  regular  part  of 
Elmhurst  is  recent  years.  It 
results  in  costing  taxpayers 
(you  and  your  parents) 
money-money  to  buy  new 
fixtures  in  restrooms,  or  new 
desks,  or  the  cost  of  cleaning 
up.  If  only  for  that  simple 
reason,  vandalism  is  useless, 
costly,  and  creates  an 
inconvenience     to     fellow 


students.  It  is  simply 
carelessness,  maliciousness, 
or  disrespect.  But  more  than 
that,  people  are  destroying 
property  which  does  not 
belong  to  them,  and  which 
certainly  affects  others.  One 
should  have  a  basic  respect 
for  his  own  and  others' 
property. 

Clearly  this  type  of 
destruction  is  done  by  a  very 
few.  However,  perhaps  of 
more  importance  is  the 
attitude  of  the  entire 
student  body.  Probably 
everyone  has  been  guilty  of 
one  thing  or  another,  from 
leaving  paper  on  the  floor  to 
writing  on  the  backs  of 
desks.  True,  they  are  little 
things,  but  they  make  up  a 
large  portion  of  cleaning 
work  and  represent  a 
careless  attitude  we  all  seem 
to  have  not  only  for  school 
property  but  for  things  in 
general.  Perhaps  it  is  time 
we  took  a  closer  look  at 
ourselves  and  our  property. 
After  all.  we  are  going  to 
have  to  live  with  each  other 
for  the  rest  of  our  lives.

NYAP  holds  forum      FoFum  Club  looks  good 


by  Marilynn'Scherer 

The  National  Youth 
Alternatives  Project 
(NYAP)  is  a  program 
operating  out  of 

Washington,  D.C.  that  gives 
technical  assistance  to  forty 
cities  east  of  the 
Mississippi.  Their 
assistance  centers  around 
the  development  of  runaway 
clinics  and  various  other 
youth  serving  agencies. 

On  Thursday,  Oct.  2. 
NYAP,  in  co-operation  with 
Switchboard,  held  a  public 
forum  to  discuss  the 
runaway  problem. 

Members  representing 
South  Central  Outreach, 
Street  Outreach,  Inter 
Agency  Drug  Abuse  Council 
IIADAC),  the  Probation 
Department,  Switchboard, 
and  several  area  school 
guidance  counselors  were  on 
hand  to  discuss  what  their 
Various  programs  were 
•loing  in  the  youth  situation. 

The  meeting  was  held  at 
the  First  Wayne  Street 
United  Methodist  Church 
3nd    followed    a    format   of 


panel  discussion  where  each 
organization  revealed  its 
past  commitments  and 
future  plans  in  relation  to 
the  youth  runaway  problem. 

Ken  Watson  of  the 
Probation  Department 
explained.  "We  don't  want 
them  (runaways).  I, 
personally,  would  rather 
deal  with  an  armed  robbery 
case.  The  runaway  is  usually 
a  very  emotional,  explosive 
individual." 

Mr.  Watson  went  on  to 
discuss  the  problems  with 
the  runaway  and  the  law. 
He  stated,  "Parents  and 
social  agencies  do  not  belong 
in  a  court  of  law." 

One  of  the  runaway  homes 
is  located  at  316  W. 
Creighton.  The  new 
Switchboard  home  is  a 
result  of  an  HEW  (Health 
Education  &  Welfare)  grant 
of  $30,000.  The  new  phone 
number  is  456-4561. 

A  complete  up-dated 
story  on  the  runaway 
dilemma  and  Fort  Wayne 
laws  will  be  featured  in  an 
upcoming  issue  of  the 
ADVANCE. 


In  their  first  meet  of  the 
school  year,  members  of  the 
Elmhurst  Forum  Club 
received  outstanding  honors 
at  the  Student  Congress  at 
the  Indiana-Purdue 
University  Campus  on  Sept. 
27. 

The  Student  Congress 
consisted  of  three  houses  - 
Senate,  House  A,  and  House 
B  —  with  25  members  each. 
Leslie  Novitsky  won  honors 
in  the  Senate  as  the 
outstanding  senator  which 
also  means  Leslie  received 
honors  as  top  participant  in 
the  Congress  as  a  whole. 
Also  receiving  awards  were 
Mike  Engle  who  placed 
fourth  in  the  Senate.  Sue 
Frankewich  who  took  fourth 
place  in  House  A,  and  Sheli 
Winans  who  took  fifth  place 
in  House  B. 

Reflecting  on  the 
prospects  for  this  year, 
Forum  Club  sponsors  Mr. 
Robert  Stookey  and  Mr. 
Robert  Storey  are  looking 
forward  to  a  promising 
season. 

Mr.  Stookey  commented, 
"Presently,  we  have  about 


30  members,  but  we  could 
have  more.  New  members 
are  still  welcome  to  join." 

The  Debate  Team  also 
participated  in  a  debate 
meet  last  Saturday,  Oct.  11. 
at  Chesterton  High  School 


in  Chesterton.  Indiana,  east

Tennis  team  /ends 
SAC  with  3-0 


After  capturing  their  last 
three  tennis  matches  the 
city-surprising  Elmhurst 
netmen  have  claimed  sole 
possession  of  first  place  in 
the  SAC  race. 

After  spotting 
Huntington  a  6-0  victory  in 
the  first  match  of  the  year, 
the  Big  Red  Tennis  Machine 
got  its  wheels  rolling  by 
posting  three  consectuive  4- 
3  decisions  over  Snider, 
Wayne,  and  Bishop  Luers, 
all  SAC  rivals. 

Individual  credit  for  these 
three  victories  goes  to  the 
doubles  teams  of  senior 
Gregg  Heckley  and 
sophomore  Marty  Rifkin, 
along  with  seniors  Terry 
Sims  and  Greg  Nowak.  Both 
of  these  teams  are 
undefeated  in  conference 
play  and  sport  3-1  records 
overall. 

Juniors  Ted  Omas  and 
Tim  Springer  have  held 
together  the  singles 
department  by  posting  two 
victories  each  in  conference 


action. 

Typifying  the  students' 
view  of  the  boys  tennis  team 
was  senior  Diane  Lupke 
when  she  exclaimed 
"Teriffic!  I  didn't  think  they 
were  that  good!"  after  she 
had  heard  of  their 
accomplishments. 

Coach  Robert  Horn  has 
expressed  much  surprise  in 
his  team.  He  believes  that 
they  can  attain  the  .550 
plateau  that  they  have 
worked  so  hard  for. 

Upcoming  matches  pit  the 
Big  Red  against  Concordia 
this  evening  at  home  and 
South  Side  tomorrow  night, 
an  away  game.

6-Feature 

Before  each  rehearsal,  the  nine-member 
cast,  the  student  stage-manager,  and  the 
student-director  of  the  school  play.  "See 
How  They  Run,"  have  a  voluntary  warm-up 
period. 

Chances  are,  at  six  o'clock,  the  supposed 
starting  time  for  rehearsal,  the  cast  could 
not  be  found  on  stage,  but  rather  on  the  gym 
floor  or  flying  through  the  air.  Frisbees 
whisk  through  the  gym  and  people  dodge 
them.  Voices  sing  snatches  of  "Some  Day 
1  '11  Find  You"  a  song  in  the  play. 
Occasionally,  a  person  will  scream  as  he 
lands  after  being  swung  by  the  legs  or  after 
landing  awkwardly  from  a  flip,  cartwheel,  or 
practice-faint.  Most  conversations  contain 
random  lines  from  the  play  which  always 
manage  to  fit  in  somewhere.  On  real  wild 
nights  someone  might  even  do  a  strip  show! 
The  warm-up  usually  winds  up  with  some 
loud  communal  singing,  some  amateur  tap- 
dancing,  a  swing  of  the  hips,  and  a  shout. 

Then  the  director,  whoever  th^  director 
might  be  that  night  -  Mrs.  Wellington,  Mr. 
Goss,  or  senior  Sarah  Stewart,  will  finally 
get  teed-off  and  shout  "Everyone  into 
positions! "  After  a  few  minutes  of  laughter, 
Pat  Koehl,  stage-manager,  will  say  "Curtain 
up"  and  the  rehearsal  will  begin.  So  far  the 
cast  has  gotten  through  one  or  maybe  two 
acts  during  a  three  and  a  half  hour  rehearsal 
period.  This  is  due  to  the  fact  that  until  a 
week  or  so  ago,  everyone  was  still  using  a 
script.  Reading  and  consulting  the  script  for 
stage  directions  while  being  stopped  to 
figure  out  blocking  (movement  and 
positioning  of  character  on  stage)  takes  a 
much  longer  time  than  saying  lines  and 
performing  actions  known  by  heart.  The 
cast  members  are  encouraged  to  memorize 


See  how  they  run 


their  lines  as  quickly  as  possible  by  bemg 
charged  money  for  each  line  missed  ■  a 
penny  per  line  for  main  characters  and  a 
nickel  per  line  for  minor  characters.  The 
proceeds  from  this  collection  go  toward 
buying  refreshments  for  a  cast  party. 

A  rehearsal  seldom  goes  smoothly.  Often 
a  cast  member  will  not  be  in  the  gym  when 
he's  supposed  to  be  on  stage,  and  a  search 
will  go  out  for  the  man  with  the  missing  cue. 
Members  get  sick  or  have  urgent  things 
they  must  go  to  instead  of  rehearsal  and  so 
substitutes  are  needed.  During  a  faint  or  a 
fight  someone  may  get  hurt  or  a  character 
may  keep  babbling  on  when  he  really  has  no 
idea  of  what  his  actual  lines  are  and  thus 
confuses  the  rest  of  the  cast.  All  in  all.  a 
rehearsal  for  the  school  play  is  a  three-and-a- 
half  hour  period  of  confusion,  fun,  and  lots 
of  work  with  Tom  Young,  John  Silletto, 
Leslie  Collier,  Geoff  Sills,  Nancy  Beadie, 
Larry  Daugherty,  Matt  Tyler,  Melissa 
Hunter,  Allen  Shaw,  Pat  Koehl,  and  Sarah 
Stewart. 


Cross  country  team 
2-2  .  20th  in  state 


13- sports 


As  of  this  writing,  the 
cross  country  team  record 
stands  at  2-2  and  is  ranked 
twentieth  in  the  state.  They 
held  their  first  meet  on  Sept. 
2  and  came  away  with  two 
victories,  defeating  a  tough 
Harding  team  25-30  and  also 
defeating  Homestead  23-32 
(low  score  wins  in  cross 
country).  Elmhurst  had  four 
men  in  the  top  ten  as  Dave 
Lewis  led  the  way  with  a 
second  place  finish.  Tim  Lee 
finished  fourth,  Jim 
Freygang  sixth  and  Bob 
Levy  eighth  to  round  out  a 
strong  field. 

A  week  later  the  team 
traveled  to  Goshen  to  take 
on  Goshen  and  Wayne.  The 
team  wasn't  as  fortunate 
this  time  out  as  they  were 
handed  two  defeats  by  very 
tough  competition. 
Elmhurst  ran  well,  but  was 
closely  defeated  28-32  by 
Goshen  and  27-28  by 
Wayne.  Tim  Lee  and  Dave 


Lewis  led  the  way  for  the 
Elmhurst  runners  as  they 
finished  second  and  third 
respectively. 

Elmhurst  traveled  to 
Elkhart  last  Saturday  but 
results  were  not  in  in  time 
for  printing.  Tomorrow, 
Thursday,  the  team  has  its 
first  home  meet  at  Swinney 
Park.  The  meet  will  start  at 
4  p.m.  They  run  against 
Bishop  Luers  and  Norwell 
but  their  strongest 
challenge  will  be  from 
Dekalb,  the  tenth  rated 
team  in  state. 

To  prepare  for  this  season 
most  of  the  runners  put  in 
many  miles  over  the 
summer,  running  mostly  on 
their  own  to  be  in  top  shape 
for  that  first  meet.  Then  the 
week  of  Aug.  11,  the  team 
started  practice  at  Chain-0- 
Lakes  State  Park.  During 
the  week  the  team  put  in 
many  tough  and  grueling 
miles  but  most  members 
said  they  had  a  great  time. 


This  has  become  an  annual 
event  started  last  year  by 
Coach  Lohr. 

This  year's  team  has 
seven  returning  lettermen 
and  is  made  up  of  six 
seniors,  seven  juniors  and 
five  sophomores.  The 
members  are  Mike 
Ausderan,  Bill  Brown,  Chad 
Cline,  Bob  Curts,  Rich 
Ewell,  Jim  Freygang,  Mike 
GetE,  Denny  Kirkland, 
Brett  Knuth,  Rick  Knuth, 
Tim  Lee,  Bob  Levy,  Dave 
Lewis,  Kevin  Morgan,  Dave 
Nelson,  Larry  Raber,  Ron 
Scheiber  and  Brian 
Wyneken.

OPEN  EVENINGS  TIU  9:00,  SUNDAYS  12:00  TO  5:00 


First  known  as  The  Herd,  then  as 
Atlantis,  and  now  known  as  Ethos, 
the  group  well-known  to  older  teen- 
agers of  the  area  is  now  cutting  an 
album  with  Capitol  Records.  Ethos 
was  always  the  local  band  to  hear. 
At  Lantern  concerts,  at  the  Country 
Club,  anywhere  a  large  crowd  of 
youth  comes  for  music.  Ethos  has 
played.  For  several  years,  the  group 
has  been  trying  to  'make  it'.  They've 
worked  on  other  contracts  but 
wanting  to  break  into  the  business 
'right',  they  waited  to  record  until 
they  got  one  of  the  biggest  recording 
companies  in  the  world  -  Capitol 
R^ords. 

Right  now  the  group's  members 
are  in  New  York  City  finishing  up 
the  last  step  of  the  recording 
process.  Home  in  Fort  Wayne  are 
the  roadies  like  Martin  Luther 
Precise  (M.L.)  who  is  in  charge  of 
setting  up  the  stage  and  the 
equipment,  and  Thom  Hansen  who 
does  all  the  lighting  for  concerts  and 
sets  up  the  drurti  and  percussion 
instruments.  Thom  and  Martin  were 
in  New  York  for  a  week  or  so  at  the 
outset  of  the  album's  recording, 
When  they  were  there,  the  nine 
group  members  and  associates 
stayed  together  in  an  ocean-side 
house  which  they  have  for  use 
during  the  five-week  recording 
period.  There  they  ate  communal 
nieals.  slept,  and  relaxed  when  they 
Weren't  in  the  city. 

Thom  and  Martin  are  of  course 
excited  about  the  turn  of  events  that 
brought  them  to  New  York  City. 
They  describe  the  group  members  as 
dedicated  and  determined  to  bring 


the  group  to  success.  The  eight  song 
album  which  will  be  released 
sometime  within  the  next  threi 
months  is  certainly  a  big  step  in  the" 
right  direction,  it  is  only  the  first  of 
the  four  albums  the  group 
contracted  to  release  within  the  next 
four  years.  Recorded  on  this  first 
album  are  the  songs  'Atlantea.ns" 
"Long  Dancer",  "Intrepid  Travel- 
er", "Dimension  Man",  "Every 
Man",  "Space         Brothers", 

"Emotions",  and  "Spirit  of  Music". 
Martin  explained  that  this  album 
will  mark  some  changes  in  the 
group.  First  of  all,  two  new 
members  have  been  added.  The 
original  three  instrumentalists:  Bill

Sharpe  who  plays  all  guitars 
-  acoustic,  electric,  and 
mandolin  and  who  Thom 
described  as  the  man  with 
the  business  sense,  Mark 
Richards  who  does  drums, 
percussion,  and  vocals,  and 
Mike  Ponczek  who  plays  the 
Hammond  B-3,  Moog 
Model  D,  electric  12-string 
guitar,  the  mellotron,  the 
electric  piano,  and  the 
Chamberlain,  have  been 
joined  by  two  new 
instrumentalists.  Brad 
Stephenson  who  was  in  the 
group  "Security"  will  now 
play  the  Rickenbacker  Bass, 
Fender,  Jazz  Bass,  and  the 
Moog  Bass  Pedals  for 
Ethos.  And  L. 

Duncanhammond.  a 
graduate  of  the  University 
of  Michigan  School  of 
Music,  plays  the  Moog  12. 
the  Moog  Model  D, 
the  mellotron,  Clavinet  D6, 
Yamaha  Organ,  Rhodes  88, 
and  the  bagpipes.  Greg 
Riker  is  the  group's  sound 
tei^nician. 

The  music  the  group  ie 
playing  is  also  changing 
according  to  Martin.  A 
couple  of  the  tunes  on  the 
album  have  never  been 
played  in  concert,  and  the 
music  as  a  whole  is  getting 
"funkier"  as  Martin  put  it. 
He  qualified  this  statement 
a  little  by  saying  this  does 
not  mean  it  is  getting  more 
commercialized,  just  more 
'fimky'  in  a  fast  jazz  style. 


1-  Feature 
Recording  an  album  has 
brought  the  group  and  its 
associates  in  contact  with 
some  important  people  — 
people  who  have  worked 
with  such  big  names  as 
James  Taylor,  Carly  Simon, 
Joni  Mitchell.  Gentle  Giant, 
Genesis,  Jethro  TuU,  Black 
Sheba,  J.  Giles,  and  Stevie 
Wonder.  Speaking  of  the 
group's  agent,  Vincent 
Romeo  who  once  was  Paul 
McCartney's  agent,  Martin 
said,  "Just  sitting  in  his 
office  sends  chills  up  your 
spine.  After  all,  we're  just 
Midwestern  boys." 

At  a  fee  of  $150  an  hour, 
the  group  has  been 
recording  up  to  nine  hours  a 
night  from  7  p.m.  to  4  a.m. 
at  the  Hit  Factory  in  New 
York  City.  They  are  very 
happy  with  their  contract 
and  with  the  feedback  which 
they  have  gotten  from 
"higher-ups"  in  the 
recording  business. 

In  examining  the  roadie 
team's  role  in  Ethos'  recent 
accomplishments,  Martin 
said,  "Well,  you  know 
behind  every  good  group  is  a 
great  roadie  team."  Besides 
Martin  and  Thom,  the 
roadie  team  consists  of 
Biker  who  shares  duties 
with  Martin,  Mark  Briggs 
who  is  a  business  man, 
agent,  and  college  professor, 
and  a  "special  guest  roadie" 
D.  W.  Morale.

The  Elmhurst  High 
School  reserve  football  team 
got  off  to  a  slow  start  this 
year  by  losing  their  first 
two  games  of  the  season  to 
Harding  and  Bishop  Luers. 

The  Harding  Hawks 
handed  Elmhurst  its  first 
defeat  on  Sept.  2.  by  a  score 
of  8-0.  However,  the  Trojans 
almost  made  a  touchdown 
near  the  end  of  the  game, 
but  the  football  landed  just 
inches  from  the  goal  line, 

A  week  later,  on  Sept.  8. 
the  Reserves  met  the  Bishop 
Luers  Saints  on  the  Trojan 
home  turf,  but  again  were 


defeated  40-0. 

Mr.  Jim  Lambert,  the 
reserve  football  coach, 
commented.  "They  just  did 
not  execute  well." 

The  reserves  also  have  a 
new  coach  this  year  in  the 
person  of  Mr.  Al  Burns. 
Aside  from  coaching  the 
Trojans.  Mr.-  Burns  also 
teaches  at  Hoagland  and 
Washington  Elementary 
Schools. 

Bishop  Dwenger  will  be 
the  next  opponent  for  the 
Trojan  reserves,  at  4  p.m. 
Monday,  Sept.  22,  on  the 
Elmhurst  home  field.

Tennis  team  stc 

by  Verne  Myers 

The  Elmhurst  tennis  team  was  defeated  in  sectional  play 
by  Snider  in  a  close  match,  3-2.  The  sectionals  were  held 
Saturday.  Oct.  4.  at  Huntington. 

Elmhurst  also  lost  last  year  in  first  round  sectional  play 
to  Northrop.  The  difference?  This  year,  the  surging  Trojans 
piled  up  a  10-4  record.  Last  year  they  picked  up  a  2-12 
record.  Last  year,  Elmhurst  was  near  the  bottom  of  the 
SAC.  This  year  they  finished  second  to  an  undefeated 
Bishop  Dwenger  squad.  In  one  year,  Elmhurst  came 
through  with  the  second  best  record  in  its  tennis  history, 
surprising  SAC  rivals,  coaches,  students,  and  players. 

The  big  turn-around  came  as  a  pleasant  surprise  to 
everyone,  and  several  factors  contributed  to  it.  Mr.  Horn 
commented.  "We  had  more  depth  than  I  though  t  we  would 
need. "  The  depth  of  the  team  was  their  strong  point  in  many 
of  the  matches   throughout  the  year.  Lots  of  improvement

After  choosing  the  title 
for  my  column,  I  figured 
that  it  would  be  ideal  to 
devote  my  first  article  to 
girls'  sports.  Namely  the 
program  at  Elmhurst,  its 
achievements,  its  goals,  and 
hopes  for  success  this 
season. 

But  a  freak  airplane 
accident  has  altered  my 
plans.  This  column  is  going 
to  center  around  one  female 
athlete,  her  outstanding 
abiUty,  her  sportsmanship, 
etc.,  because  for  Sue 
Fitzwilliam  there  is  no  hope 
for  success  this  season. 

A  freshman  at  Bishop 
Luers  last  year,  Sue  and  her 
doubles  partner  Ann 
Galpein  succeeded  in 
defeating  the  Elmhurst  duo 
of  Sally  Hinton  and  Cheri 
Norton  for  the  number  one 
position  in  the  regional 
tennis  tournament. 

Senior  Cheri  Norton 
described  Sue  as  being  a 
"real  relaxed  player  -  she 
always  stayed  calm."  Cheri 
explained  that  the  Luers  duo 
success  was  due  not  only  to 


their  abiUty  in  the  game,  but 
to  their  consistency  ... 
playing  every 
shot  as  if  it  were  the  last. 

Sue  ,her  father  Jack,  her 
sisters  Jackie  and  Jennifer, 
and  a  neighbor,  Jennifer 
Bonn,  were  all  victims  of  a 
fatal  plane  crash  in  a  field 
near  Wayne  Trace  on 
August  16.  Sue's  pilot- 
father  was  heading  towards 
Baer  Field  for  a  landing 
when  the  plane  ran  out  of 
gas. 

No  doubt  Sue  learned 
most  of  her  tennis  talents 
from  her  mother,  tennis 
instructor  Carol 
Fitzwilliam.  Mrs. 

Fitzwilliam  has  been  into 
tennis  for  a  number  of  years 
and  gives  lessons  at  the 
Marriott  Inn.  She  usually 
places  high  in  the  city 
tennis  tournament. 

The  Fitzwilliams  were  a 
family  of  athletes-sister 
Jackie  placed  fourth  in  her 
division  of  the  City  Diving 
Meet,  and  was  a  member  of 
the  Pocahontas  Diving 
Team.

Editor's  Note:  This  is  the  [irat  in  a 
series  of  periodical  articles 
covering  the  2lBt  Olympiad  to  be 
held  this  upcoming  winter  and 
Bummer  in  Denver,  Colorado  and 
Montreal.  Canada,  respectively. 
These  articles  will  also  touch  upon 
the  20th  Olympiad  and  previous 
Olympics.  The  following  article 
will  take  us  back  to  the 
controversial  20th  Olympiad  held 
during  the  summer  of  1972  in 
Alunich,  Germany. 

The  20th  Olympiad  began  with 
much  pomp  and  circumstance. 
Thousands  of  doves  were  released 
as  little  children  danced  around  the 
Olympic  Stadium  depicting  an 
unimaginable  floral  arrangement 
as  they  held  their  floral  wreaths 
about  their  heads.  The  easy-going 
spirit  of  opening  day  was 
intentionally  construed  so  that  the 
20th  Olympiad  would  be  a  complete 
turn-about  from  the  13th  Olympiad 
held  in  Berlin,  Germany,  during  the 
summer  of  1936. 

At  that  time  in  history,  a  black 
man  from  the  United  States.  Jesse 
Owens,  captured  gold  medals  in  the 
100  meter  dash,  200  meter  dash. 
and  running  broad  jump. 
Coinciden tally,  during  this  same 
period.  Adolph  Hitler  had  come  in- 
to power  in  Germany,  One  of 
Hitler's  major  projects  during  his 
^dictatorship  of  Germany  was  the 


development  of  his  master  race  of 
Aryans.  Aryans  were  supposed  to 
have  blonde  hair,  blue  eyes,  and  a 
very  healthy  physical  build.  Hitler 
considered  anyone  who  did  not  fit 
this  description  as  a  member  of  an 
inferior  race  of  people.  Such  was 
the  case  of  Jesse  Owens  when  he 
won  his  three  gold  medals.  Hitler, 
believing  that  the  Negroid  race  was 
as  low  on  the  totem  pole  as  a  race 
could  get.  would  not  even  recognize 
the  accomplishments  of  the  black 
Jesse  Owens,  So  the  1936  Olympics 
went  down  in  the  history  book  as  a 
political  Olympics  and  not  a 
sporting  Olympics. 

The  1972  Olympics  were  to  be 
the  greatest  01',mpics  in  history, 
especially  those  In  the  summer 
There  was  no  reason  why  thf»y 
shouldn't  have  been.  The  Olympic 
village  was  designed  to  be  a 
melting  pot  for  the  athletes  where 
they  might  congregate  during  the 
course  of  the  day  and  converse 
freely  among  themselves.  A 
beautiful  boxing  hall  that  seated 
6200  people  had  been  built  and  was 
affectionately  called  by  the  people 
of  Munich,  Der  Boxhalle  mitt  der 
Gloves.  But  the  main  attraction 
the  Olympics  was  to  be  the  Germor 
people.  They  wanted  so  much  tn 
please  the  visitors  from  countries 
all  around  the  world  and  most  o(  all 
they   wanted   to   make   the  world 


forget  about  the  1936  Olympics  by 
displaying  the  1972  Olympics  as 
the  most  spectacular  ever  held.  By 
the  final  day  they  had  only 
imbedded  in  the  memory  of  thi 
world  that  the  1972  Olympic  g£  m. 
were  the  bloodiest  ever  held. 

In  my  next  article  covering  ih 
upcoming  Olympics.  1  will  discuss 
the  aspects  that  made  the  1972 
'^'vripics  the  most  dramatic  i

The 

Journal-Cazette 


ed  at  sectionals 


was  noted  among  most  of  the  players  since  last  year,  and 
the  addition  of  two  fine  first-year  players  strengthened  the 
team.  Another  important  factor  was  the  addition  of  new 
tennis  courts  at  Elmhurst  which  helped  to  organize  and 
solidify  the  team  into  a  strong  unit. 

Several  records  were  broken  this  year,  and  Mr.  Horn  is 
accumulating  them  into  a  record  book.  Some  outstanding 
individual  performances  are  worth  noting  in  this  year's 
team.  The  best  overall  record  for  the  year  is  held  by  the 
doubles  team  of  Terry  Sims  and  Greg  Nowak.  9-1.  Other 
high  records  are  7-1  by  Marshall  Beatty  (singles),  Tim 
Springer  9-2  in  singles  and  doubles,  and  6-3  by  Ted  Ornas. 
This  year's  team  record  was  bettered  only  in  1970,  when  the 
team  was  9-1  for  the  year. 

Next  year  looks  promising  as  seven  lettermen  will  be 
back,  and  the  experience  will  be  there.  After  11  years,  tennis 
has  extablished  itself  at  Elmhurst.

Trojans  victorious  *!;:  "^.-xTr^ . 


The  Elmhurst  Trojans  dropped 
their  first  game  of  the  season  to 
North  Side  as  the  Bruins  obligiated 
the  Trojans  34-0.  The  Trojans 
bounced  back  quicWy,  however,  as 
they  defeated  Norwell  19-0  and 
Concordia  14-7. 

There  were  few  bright  spots  in  the 
North  Side  •  Elmhurst  contest  on 
Aug.  31  at  the  Bruins  offense  racked 
up  34  while  the  Trojans  were 
stopped  cold. 

Elmhurst  got  off  to  a  great  start 
as  junior  Curtis  Paschal  fumbled  the 
ball  on  the  first  play  of  the  game. 
North  Side  recovered  on  the  Trojan 
30  yard  line  and  drove  down  to  the 
one  where  the  Elmhurst  defense 
came  to  life  on  a  fourth  down  play 
and  stopped  the  Bruins  for  one  of 
the  few  times  that  night.  Elmhurst 
was  unable  to  move  the  ball  and  was 
forced  to  punt.  The  Bruins  took  the 
short  punt  on  the  Elmhurst  31  and 
this  time  wasted  little  time  in 
finding  the  end-zone  for  six  points. 
Afterwards,  it  was  all  North  Side  as 
the  Bruins  scored  28  additional 
points  for  a  final  score  of  34-0. 

The  next  Friday  found  the 
Trojans  at  Norwell  to  face  the 
Knights.  Exactly  one  week  after  the 
Trojans  had  been  defeated  by  North 


Side,  Coach  Herman  had  his  players    junior  Dave  Stein  jumped  on  m  the     only  one  tield  goal  but  two,  one  of  35 
fired  up  and  ready  to  win.  Although    end-zone  for  six  points.   Although     yards   and   the   second   of  over  4(1 
the  Trojans  threatened  many  times    the     defense     was     very      much     yards,  a  new  Trojan  record.  As 
during  the  first  half,  they  failed  to    improved    over    the    week    before     gun  sounded  to  end  the  game  the 
score  as  costly  turnovers  kept  the    Coach  Herman  made  no  significant     score  board  showed  Elmhurst  a  19^j 

winner. 

Elmhurst's  second  victory  cams 
last  Friday  as  the  Trojans  defeated 
Concordia  14-0.  The  contest  was 
pretty  evenly  played  as  both  teams 
could  really  move  the  ball  except  for 
a  couple  of  occasions.  The  deciding 
factor  was  that  the  Trojans  had 
more  of  these  occasions  than  thj 
Cadets. 

Concordia  scored  first  as  the 
Cadets  took  a  Trojan  punt  on  theli 
own  46  and  drove  the  total  yardage 
for  six  points.  The  kick  was  good 
and  the  Cadets  led  7-0. 

Elmhurst  came  back  on  the  first 
play  of  the  second  period  as  junior 
quarterback  Brian  Russell  found 
junior  Ron  Culpepper  all  alone 
behind  the  Concordia  secondary  for 
a  57  yard  touchdown. 

The  final  Trojan  score  came  as  the 
Trojans  recovered  a  Concordia 
fumble  on  the  Cadet  39  and  junior 
Curtis  Paschal  broke  away  for  36 
yards  and  a  TD.  The  score  didn't 
change  and  the  Trojans  won  14-7.

Guys   cook 

by  Roberta  Cohen 
■'Mmmmmm!  Delicious!  Wow,  am 
1  ever  hungry!"  Usually,  when  a 
person  hears  these  strange  "noises" 
coming  from  the  home  economics 
rooms,  he  expects  the  voices  to  be 
slightly  high,  squeaky,  and  with  a 
few  giggles  added  in  for  the  heck  of 
it.  But  in  the  past  two  years  there 
have  been  changes  in  the  home  ec 
department.  Because  of  these 
changes,  the  voices  heard  making 
these  remarks  are  often  very  low- 
pitched  and  definitely  male. 

At  Elmhurst  High  School  this 
year,  there  are  approximately 
eighteen  male  students  enrolled  in 
the  beginning  foods  classes. 
According  to  Miss  Sharon  Dietrich, 
instructor  of  the  foods  classes, 
having  males  in  the  class  has  not 
changed  her  method  of  teaching 
drastically,  but  she  does  have  to  be  a 
little  more  careful  that  things  are 
explained  thoroughly,  "Most  girls," 
she  said,  "know  when  to  use  a 
wooden  spoon  just  from  being  in  the 
kitchen  around  mothers,  while  most 
of  the  guys  haven't  the  vaguest  idea 
of  what  utensil  is  used  to  do  certain 
things." 

When  asked  why  he  decided  to 
take  home  economics,  senior 
Raymond  Walker  said,  "I  took  it  for 
two  reasons.  First  of  all,  I  cook  at  a 
local   restaurant.    Secondly,    if   I 


should  decide  to  live  by  myself  for  a 
while  after  I  get  out  of  school,  1  dc 
want  to  know  how  to  cook  for 
myself." 

Senior  Guy  Washington  is  not 
planning  to  get  married  right  awa> 
and  "can't  stand  cold  cuts!" 

One  of  the  more  predictable 
reasons  for  a  guy  to  take  home  ec. 
according  to  several  people,  is  for  ar 
easy  credit.  "Not  so!"  said  the  malt 
members  of  the  class.  "The  class  is 
not  exceptionally  easy,  nor  is  it  ver> 
hard." 

"It's  a  decent  class,"  commented 
another. 

What  do  girls  think  of  having 
"men"  invade  what  was  once  their 
own  domain?  Stated  one,  "I  can't

An  important  part  of  any  high  school  is  its  newspapei 
Some  people  ask  what  is  the  point  ol  having  a  newspaper?  Is 
it  really  worth  the  time  and  the  money?  If  you  look  around, 
you  can  find  many  people  who  feel  a  school  newspaper 
certainly  worth  the  time  and  the  money. 

A  school  newspaper  provides  a  means  by  which  a  member 
of  the  faculty,  the  administration,  and  the  student  body  can 
voice  his  opinions.  It's  unlikely  that  a  student  who  has 
certain  views  he  wishes  to  voice  to  the  student  body  would 
like  to  go  around  to  each  person  at  Elmhurst  and  tell  them 
his  views.  It  would  certainly  take  too  long  to  reach  everyone 
and  it's  improbable  that  he  would  be  able  to  reach  everyone, 
A  simple  solution  would  be  for  that  person  to  go  to  the 
newspaper  staff  and  ask  them  to  print  his  views  in  the 
newspaper.  This  would  save  time  and  would  effectively 
express  that  person's  opinions. 

Another  advantage  of  having  a  school  newspaper  is  it 
informs  its  readers.  Plans  for  an  upcoming  dance  or 
proposed  plans  of  the  student  council  could  easily  be  printed 
in  the  paper,  and  thus,  would  quickly  and  accurately  inform 
the  people. 

Besides  voicing  the  people's  opinions  and  informing  thi 
student  body,  a  newspaper  is  also  essential  in  entertaining 
and  educating  its  readers.  Features,  editorials,  news  stories, 
sports  stories,  ads,  and  cartoons  are  instrumental 
accomplishing  this.  They  can  tell  what  records  are  new  on 
the  music  scene,  who  won  last  week's  football  game,  what 
stores  are  having  sales,  what  it's  like  to  live  in  a  foreign 
country,  along  with  a  number  of  other  things  interesting  to 
Elmhurst  students. 

As  you  can  see,  a  school  newspaper  is  an  important  part 
of  a  high  school  —  that  is,  if  the  students  make  it 
important.  It's  the  actions  and  opinions  of  the  student  body 
that  make  a  newspaper  what  it  is.  Besides  a  newspapei 
staff,  you  need  the  support  and  suggestions  of  the  studentsf 
to  make  the  newspaper  a  publication  that  they  can  be  a  part] 
of  and  proud  of^ 


Saiicrs  examine  h'gher  schook 


About  this  time  of  year, 
things  begin  to  pile  up  for 
many  seniors  -  mainly  piles 
of  paper  and  mail  from 
colleges  seeking  them  as 
future  students,  memos 
from  the  guidance 

department  along  with  the 
hundreds  of  other  brochures 
and  catalogues  they  might 
have  picked  up  at  higher 
education  fairs  or 

thoughtful  relatives. 

For  many  students,  the 
paper  is  welcome  junk.  For 
them,  college  is  the  next 
logical  step  and  the  stacks  of 
information  they've 
accumulated  only  serves  as 
a  joyful  reminder  that  high 
school  is  about  to  end  and 
that  next  year  at  this  time... 
But  not  everyone  is  this 
lucky.  For  some  persons, 
college  is  not  a  part  of  the 
logical  sequence  of  events, 
but  is  instead  an  option 
that  will  require  an 
extremely  crucial  decision 
"Is  college  best  for  me?"  -■ 
as  a  matter  of  money,  it 
could  prove  difficult,  and,  is 
the  fact  that  most  of 
student's  friends  are  leaving 
enough  to  send  him  away  for 
four  years?  Many  have  faced 


this  question,  but  few  have 
really  known  how  to  cope 
with  it.  Part  of  the  answer 
comes  from  guidance  --  an 
objective  party  can  some- 
times find  a  person's 
strengths  and  weaknesses 
better  than  the  person 
himself.  Also,  finding  out 
what  the  college  will  expect 
of  the  student  can  help. 
College  pressures  can  be 
heavy  -  it  is  estimated  that 
ai.iost  50  percent  of  all 
college  freshmen  nationwide 
drop  out  or  flunk  out  before 
their  sophomore  year.  This 
is  not  to  say  that  all  of  these 
students  were  indecisive 
about  higher  education, 
simply  it  takes  a  dedicated 
person  to  succeed  in  an 
academic  environment. 

The  most  important 
answer,  though,  comes  from 
the  student  himself.  If  he  is 
willing  to  put  time  and 
effort  into  examining  his 
reasons  for  wanting  to  go  to 
college,  realize  that  peer  or 
parental  pressure  is  not  the 
reason  for  schooling,  then  he 
may  be  able  to  discover 
what  may  be  the  best  next 
step  for  him,  and  be  excited, 
because  next  year  at  this 
time...

Trojans  victorious  |.«..»»«.^>-  _ 


The  Elmhurat  Trojans  dropped 
their  first  game  of  the  season  to 
North  Side  as  the  Bruins  obligiated 
the  Trojans  34-0,  The  Trojans 
bounced  back  quickly,  however,  as 
they  defeated  NorweU  19-0  and 
Concordia  14-7. 

There  were  few  bright  spots  in  the 
North  Side  -  Elmhurst  contast  on 
Aug.  31  at  the  Bruins  offense  racked 
up  34  while  the  Trojans  were 
stopped  cold. 

Ehnhurst  got  off  to  a  great  sUrt 
as  junior  Curtis  Paschal  fumbled  the 
ball  on  the  first  play  of  the  game. 
North  Side  recovered  on  the  Trojan 
30  yard  line  and  drove  down  to  the 
one  where  the  Elmhurst  defense 
came  to  life  on  a  fourth  down  play 
and  stopped  the  Bruins  for  one  of 
the  few  times  that  night.  Elmhurst 
was  unable  to  move  the  ball  and  was 
forced  to  punt.  The  Bruins  took  the 
short  punt  on  the  Elmhurst  31  and 
this  time  wasted  little  time  in 
finding  the  end-zone  for  six  points. 
Afterwards,  it  was  all  North  Side  as 
the  Bruins  scored  28  additional 
points  for  a  final  score  of  34-0. 

The  next  Friday  found  the 
Trojans  at  Norwell  to  face  the 
Knights.  Exactly  one  week  after  the 
Trojans  had  been  defeated  by  North

pretty  evenly  played  as  both  team;

Jeachersophomore  actions  criticized      Montv  takcs  .. 


To  the  editor: 

It  is  my  desire  at  this  time 
to  express  concern  over  the 
ways  that  some  of  the 
teachers  handled  themselves 
during  the  strike  last  month. 

Over  all.  I  would  Uke  Jto 
commend  the  faculty  of 
EHS  for  the  respectful  way 
that  they  operated  their 
picket  lines.  Now.  don't  get 
me  wrong,  I  was  all  for  you 
during  the  strike.  The 
School  Board  along  with 
their  faithful  leader  have 
been  a  little  too  stubborn  on 
many  issues  involving 
contract  negotiations  for  too 
long  of  a  time.  However,  I 
think  that  it  is  a  severe 
shame  the  way  that  some  of 
the  teachers  acted  Uke  a 
bunch  of  little  third  graders 
toward  a  few  of  the  students 
who  wished  to  come  to 
school  for  a  few  hours  a  day 
for  various  reasons.  While 
they  were  in  the  building, 
they  were  in  constant  fear 
that  one  or  more  of  their 
tires  may  be  slashed.  And 
some  of  the  smart-alecky 
looks  that  teachers  gave  to 
the  students  as  they  entered 
and  exited  the  parking  lot's 


north  entrance  were  a  little 
uncalled  for  --  case  in  point: 
when  this  student  entered 
the  parking  lot  one 
afternoon,  several  teachers 
were  standing  around  the 
entrance,  and  they  all  gave 
me  the  look  as  I  entered. 
While  waiting  in  the  parking 
lot  before  entering  the 
building,  I  noticed  that  they 
did  this  to  everyone  who 
entered.  Upon  my  attempt 
to  exit,  I  was  willfully 
blocked  from  leaving  by 
several  teachers  standing 
around  talking  to  people  in 
cars  that  had  the  entire 
drive  blocked  except  for  one 
small  path  along  the  side.  In 
anticipation  that  the 
teachers  would  move,  I 
waited  for  several  minutes. 
However,  they  just  stood 
there.  After  getting  tired  of 
waiting.  I  slowly  pulled  out 
around  them,  and  one  of  the 
teachers  that  was  standing 
there  commented  to  me. 
"Oh,  I'm  sorry  that  we  were 
in  your  way."  I  just  minded 
my  own  business  and  went 
on  my  way. 

Teachers  are  supposed  to 
teach,  and  by  that  standard, 
they  should  be  setting  good 


examples  for  students  to 
follow  in  their  daily  lives. 
Now,  come  on,  what  is  a 
student  supposed  to  think 
when  a  few  of  the  teachers 
start  acting  like  third- 
graders?  They  are  supposed 
to  act  Hke  mature  adults. 
Frankly,  I  think  most  of  the 
student  body  here  at  EHS 
handled  themselves  in  a 
more  mature  way  than  did 
some,  not  all.  of  the  striking 
teachers. 

A  Disappointed  Student 

To  the  editor: 

We.  as  members  of  the 
senior  class,  would  like  to 
call  attention  to  a  few 
problems  that  occur  during 
assemblies. 

The  underclassmen, 
mainly  sophomores,  seem  to 
have  no  respect  for 
presentations  being  given. 
These  assemblies  are  given 
for  our  benefit  and  should  be 
attended  and  listeDcd  to. 
These  people  may  only  be 
here  once  and  that  will  be 
their  lasting  impression  of 
Elmhurst  students. 
Sophomores    seem    to   find

Monty  Python  strikes

outrageous,  ridiculous,  and 
hilarious  British  humor  has 
come  the  one  and  only 
Monty  Python,  this  time 
with  the  Holy  Grail.  The 
latest  achievement  of  the 
British  comedy  series, 
Monty  Python's  Flying 
Circus,  this  movie  has 
succeeded  in  thrilling  Monty 
Python  addicts,  while 
boring  some  of  those  who 
don't  dig  Monty. 


As  ridiculous  as  the  name

that  assemblies  are  their 
opportunity  to  talk  loudly, 
especially  during  the 
presentation.  Many  seniors 
find  this  disturbing,  seeing 
as  there  is  a  low  roar  coming 
from  the  east  side  of  the 
gym.  Quite  a  few  find  it  hard 
to  hear  the  speakers.  Come

lost  in  the  screen 
production  as  the  movie 
makes  the  most  out  of  the 
Monty  Python  techniques  of 
cartoons,  special  effects,  and 
fast,  insane  humor. 

Ending  stops  movie 

The  basis  for  this  whole 
escapade  centers  on  the 
legendary  King  Arthur  and 
his  Round  Table  of  knights. 
Their  endless,  hopeless 
search  for  the  last  cup  used 
by  Christ,  the  Holy  Grail, 
dooms  all  of  the  knights  to 
fall  prey  to  their  own 
inisfortune  and  tricks.  The 
Monty  Python  approach 
literally  shows  no  respect  to 
the  noble  knight  and  his 
bravery,  even  down  to  the 
damsel  in  distress,  who 
turns  out  to  be  a  weak 
Sallow  son  of  a  castle  owner, 
"'hile  showing  the  blind 
bravery  of  a  foolish  knight, 
is  demonstrated,  quite 
°ften,  that  even  knights 
)  sense  enough  to  be 
'towards. 

To  the  observer,  the 
"^folding  movie  scenes  are 
^iftiply  outrageous,  and  yet 
'"fty  may  be  very  logical. 
'Vould  you  be  scared  of  a 
*bite  rabbit?  Not  until  it  bit 


your  head  off!  The  expected 
turns  into  the  unexpected, 
then  off  again  into  a  totally 
different  idei.  However, 
because  of  the  muvie  length, 
ideas  aren't  thrown  at  you 
left  and  right,  and  the 
moviegoer  has  a  chance  to 
catch  his  breath  between 
scenes.  Unlike  the  series,  the 
movie  does  not  overwhelm 
the  viewer  with  slapstick. 

The  funny  stuff  is  given  to 
you  right  from  the 
beginning  to  the  very  end, 
from  the  subtitles  to  the 
"movie  stopping"'  ending. 
The  unpredictable  format  of 
the  movie  set  against  the 
seriousness  of  the  dramatic 
music  and  scenery  combine 
to  keep  the  audience  alert 
and  laughing  all  movie  long. 
Each  knight,  from  the 
"courageous"  to  the  "not  so 
courageous,"  meets  his  fate, 
whether  it  be  at  the  hands  of 
a  vicious  rabbit  or  through 
arrest  by  a  twentieth 
century  London  cop. 

For  those  who  don't  like 
the  Monty  Python  series,  or 
far  out  humor,  this  movie 
might  turn  out  to  be  a 
waste.  For  all  others,  it's  a 
movie  that  can't  be  missed.

this  time  wasted  little  time  in 
finding  the  end-zone  for  six  points. 
Afterwards,  it  was  all  North  Side  as 
the  Bruins  scored  28  additional 
points  for  a  final  score  of  34-0. 

The  next  Friday  found  the 
Trojans  at  Norwell  to  face  the

however  as  the  second  half  opened  coach   Welbom   put   it,    "We   just 

with   a   much   improved   Ehnhurst  started  playing  football." 

defense  held  back  the  Knights  and  One    significant    factor    however 

blocked    the   ensuing   punt   which  was  iunior  Moe  Fink  who  kicked  not 


only  one  held  goal  but  two.  one  of  3J 
yards  and  the  second  of  over  4(| 
yards,  a  new  Trojan  record.  As  thj 
gun  sounded  to  end  the  game  th{ 
score  board  showed  Elmhurst  a  l^ 
winner. 

Elmhurst's  second  victory  camj 
last  Friday  as  the  Trojans  defeated 
Concordia  14-0.  The  contest 
pretty  evenly  played  as  both  teams 
could  really  move  the  ball  except  for 
a  couple  of  occasions.  The  deciding 
factor  was  that  the  Trojans  had 
more  of  these  occasions  than  the 
Cadets. 

Concordia  scored  first  as  the 
Cadets  took  a  Trojan  punt  on  theij 
own  46  and  drove  the  total  yardage 
for  six  points.  The  kick  was  good 
and  the  Cadets  led  7-0. 

Elmhurst  came  back  on  the  first 
play  of  the  second  period  as  junior 
quarterback  Brian  Russell  found 
junior  Ron  Culpepper  all  alone 
behind  the  Concordia  secondary  for 
a  57  yard  touchdown. 

The  final  Trojan  score  came  as  the 
Trojans  recovered  a  Concordia 
fumble  on  the  Cadet  39  and  junior 
Curtis  Paschal  broke  away  for  36 
yards  and  a  TD.  The  score  didn't 
change  and  the  Trojans  won  14-7,

I  heard  something  most  disturbing  the  other  day.  The 
sports  writers  for  the  ADVANCE  were  arguing  among 
themselves,  "Who's  going  to  write  reserve  football?"  The 

apathetic  response  was  "What  can  you  say they 

lost!" 

Sports  writers  are  not,  by  far,  the  only  guilty  parties. 
Team  players,  coaches,  the  student  body,  faculty,  and 
administration  are  just  as  much  to  blame.  It  seems  that 
everyone  is  so  intent  on  winning  that  the  purpose  of 
sports  has  vanished. ..that  purpose  being  inter  scholastic 
competition  to  achieve  a  basic  education  in 
sportsmanship  and  team  spirit.  Whoever  said  our  teams 
tiad  to  play  like  professionals  and  beat  the  arch  rivals? 

The  score  of  the  game  does  not  always  prove  the 
winners.  The  winners  are  the  people  who  come  from  the 
game  with  an  attitude  that  they  have  learned  something. 
Winners  are  the  people  that  can  leave  the  game  behind, 
accepting  mistakes  without  placing  blame. 

Losers,  on  the  other  hand,  are  the  people  that  become 

'ernight  geniuses  on  sport  evaluation.  They  are  the  ones 
that  say  things  like  "We  would  have  won  if..."  Losers 
lever  stop  to  appreciate  the  time  and  effort  that  every 
er  has  contributed.  They  never  even  take  time  to 
understand. 

Winners  will  congratulate  Curtis  Paschall  on  a 
^i&atutful  40-yard  run,  while  losers  will  have  the  guts  to 
3sk  him  why  he  trippped  and  fell. 

Sports  is  not  a  profession,  not  on  the  high  school  level. 
So  why  are  players  permitted  to  skip  classes  in  order  to 
Use  a  whirlpool?  It  seems  like  sports  has  been  rated  with 
^capital  "S"  while  Elmhurst  and  Education  are  left  with 
small  "e"  's.  It's  going  to  take  a  few  brick  walls  to  fall  on 
*  few  heads  before  anyone  bothers  to  See. 


u  ball  team 
triumphs 

The  Elmhurst  girls' 
varsity  volleyball  team 
came  home  with  their 
first  victory  last  week 
over  the  Adams  Central 
Jets  in  a  dual  meet 
against  Adams  Central 
and  Northrop.  This 
victory  gave  the  girls  a  1- 
3  overall  record. 

The  clock  ran  out  on 
Elmhurst  in  the  first 
game,  and  they  were 
defeated  12-14.  The 
Trojans  bounced  back  to 
take  the  next  two  games 
15-12  and  16-14. 

However,  in  the  second 
match,  the  Trojans  faced 
a  very  strong  Northrop 
team  and  were  up-ended 
by  the  Bruins  with  scores 
of  1-15  and  3-15. 

Prior  to  this  match, 
Elmhurst  squared  off 
with  the  Norwell  Knights 
on  Sept.  30  in  a  home 
game  for  the  Knights. 
The  varsity  squad  was 
routed  by  Norwell  10-15 
and  8-15,  while  the 
reserves  came  home  with 
a  16-14  and  15-11  victory.

It's  World  Series  time  again,  sports  fans,  and  time  for 
me  to  stick  my  neck  out  by  making  the  Cincinnati  Reds  a 
7-2  favorite  over  the  Boston  Red  Sox. 

Let's  take  a  look  at  the  Reds  who  won  the  National 
League  West  Division  with  108  games  against  54  losses. 

Leading  off  is  Charlie  Hustle,  better  known  as  Pete 
Rose.  Pete  batted  .317.  Batting  second  and  my  choice  for 
the  National  League's  Most  Valuable  Player  Award  is 
Joe  Morgan.  Joe  did  everything  this  year  except  sell 
peanuts,  popcorn,  and  Cracker  Jack.  Joe's  credentials  are 
17  home  runs,  94  RBI's,  107  runs  scored,  60  stolen  bases, 
and  hit  .327.  Not  bad  for  5'8"  and  175  lbs.  Johnny  Bench, 
the  finest  catcher  in  the  business,  bats  third.  J.B. 
knocked  in  110  runs  and  hit  .283.  The  cleanup  spot  is 
owned  by  Tony  Perez  who  batted  .283  with  109  RBI's. 
Maybe  the  biggest  surprise  for  the  Reds  this  year  was 
George  Foster,  who  will  bat  in  the  fifth  position.  George 
hit  .300,  23  home  runs,  and  knocked  in  78  runs.  Dave 
Concepcion,  a  super  fielder  and  a  good  hitting  shortstop, 
bats  sixth.  The  Reds  have  a  super  fast  speed  demon 
batting  in  the  seventh  position  is  Ken  Griffey.  To  give 
you  readers  an  idea  of  this  man's  speed.  Ken  beat  out  37 
infield  hits  this  season  on  his  way  to  an  impressive  .305 
batting  average.  Batting  eighth  is  Cesar  Geronimo, 
better  known  for  his  cannon-like  arm.  Cesar  hit  .257  this 
past  season. 

To  compare  Boston  with  Cincinnati  is  like  comparing  a 
colt  with  a  full  grown  horse.  Boston  is  still  growing  with 
such  young  players  as  Carlton  Fisk,  Jim  Rice,  Fred  Lynn, 
Cecil  Cooper,  Juan  Beniquez,  and  Tim  Blackwell. 
It  should  be  the  Reds  in  five  games  at  the  most,  a  fast 
World  Series,  but  no  doubt  a  very  interesting  one  with 
power,  speed,  good  pitching,  and  great  defense.  Don't  be 
surprised  if  Boston  gets  blasted  in  four  games  straight 
because  nothing  is  going  to  stop  the  Big  Red  Machine.

Trojans  victorious  'i.  - 


RESERVE  FOOTBALL 


The  Elmhurst  Trojans  dropped 
their  first  game  of  the  season  to 
North  Side  as  the  Bruins  obUgiated 
the  Trojans  34-0.  The  Trojans 
bounced  back  quickly,  however,  as 
they  defeated  NorweU  19-0  and 
Concordia  14-7. 

There  were  few  bright  spots  in  the 
North  Side  •  Elmhurst  contest  on 
Aug.  31  at  the  Bruins  offense  racked 
up  34  while  the  Trojans  were 
stopped  cold. 

Elmhurst  got  off  to  a  great  start 
as  junior  Curtis  Paschal  fumbled  the 
ball  on  the  first  play  of  the  game. 
North  Side  recovered  on  the  Trojan 
30  yard  line  and  drove  down  to  the 
one  where  the  Elmhurst  defense 
came  to  life  on  a  fourth  down  play 
and  stopped  the  Bruins  for  one  of 
the  few  times  that  night.  Elmhurst 
was  unable  to  move  the  ball  and  was 
forced  to  punt.  The  Bruins  took  the 
short  punt  on  the  Elmhurst  31  and 
this  time  wasted  little  time  in 
finding  the  end-zone  for  six  points. 
Afterwards,  it  was  all  North  Side  as 
the  Bruins  scored  28  additional 
points  for  a  final  score  of  34-0. 

The  next  Friday  found  the 
Trojans  at  Norwell  to  face  the 
Knights.  Exactly  one  week  after  the 
Trojans  had  been  defeated  by  North 


Side,  Coach  Herman  had  his  players  junior  Dave  Stein  jumped  on  in  the 

fired  up  and  ready  to  win.  Although  end-zone  for  six  points.   Although 

the  Trojans  threatened  many  times  the     defense     was     very     much 

during  the  first  half,  they  failed  to  improved    over    the    week    before

half  scoreless.   This  soon  changed  changes  in  the  lineup.  As  assistant 

however  as  the  second  half  opened  coach    Welbom   put   it,    "We  just 

with   a   much   improved    Elmhurst  started  playing  football," 

defense  held  back  the  Knights  and  One    significant    factor    however 

blocked   the   ensuing   punt   which  was  junior  Moe  Fink  who  kicked  not 


only  one  field  goal  but  two,  one  of  3; 
yards  and  the  second  of  over  45 
yards,  a  new  Trojan  record.  As  th( 
gfun  sounded  to  end  the  game  the 
score  board  showed  Elmhurst  a  19.^ 
winner, 

Elmhurat's  second  victory  came 
last  Friday  as  the  Trojans  defeatfti 
Concordia  14-0.  The  contest  was 
pretty  evenly  played  as  both  teams 
could  really  move  the  ball  except  foi 
a  couple  of  occasions.  The  decidini 
factor  was  that  the  Trojans  had 
more  of  these  occasions  than  the 
Cadets. 

Concordia  scored  first  as  the 
Cadets  took  a  Trojan  punt  on  their 
own  46  and  drove  the  total  yardage 
for  six  points.  The  kick  was  good 
and  the  Cadets  led  7-0. 

Elmhurst  came  back  on  the  first 
play  of  the  second  period  as  junior 
quarterback  Brian  Russell  found 
junior  Ron  Culpepper  all  alone 
behind  the  Concordia  secondary  for 
a  57  yard  touchdown. 

The  final  Trojan  score  came  as  the 
Trojans  recovered  a  Concordia 
fumble  on  the  Cadet  39  and  junior 
Curtis  Paschal  broke  away  for  36 
yards  and  a  TD.  The  score  didn't 
change  and  the  Trojans  won  14-7.

Yvette  Morrill 

Mr.  Robert  Storey,  the  debate 
team  sponsor,  was  pleased  with 
the  debate  participants  from 
Elmhurst.  The  solo  speech  team 
sponsor,  Mr.  Robert  Stookey, 
commented,  "The  solo  speech 
team  still  needs  more  members. 
Solo  speech  provides  an  excellent 
opportunity  for  students  to 
improve  themselves  in  public 
speaking.  New  members  are  still 
welcome." 

Three  meets  on  agenda 

Last  Saturday,  the  debate 
team  traveled  to  Richmond  to 
participate  in  the  Richmond  High 
School  debate  tournament. 
Debate  club  members  will  also 
take  part  in  debate  meets  on  Nov. 
1  at  Columbia  City  High  School 
and  on  Nov.  8  at  New  Haven 
High  School. 

On  Nov.  8.  solo  speech  team 
members  will  participate  in  a 
major  city  speech  meet  at 
Northrop  High  School. 


[Play  debuts  Rov.  7 


Things  have  gone  really 
smooth  despite  a  few  minor  crises 
such  as  illness  and  memorizing 
lines,"  commented  Mr.  Don  Goss, 
director  of  Elmhurst's  upcoming 
play.  "See  How  They  Run." 

The  opening  night  is  Friday, 
November  7,  at  8  p.m.  The  play  is 
described  as  being  a  "farce"  or  an 
event  that  wouldn't  normally 
take  place  in  real  life.  Other 
performances  of  the  comedy  are 
on  November  8. 14,  and  15. 

Most  of  the  set  shows  a  wood 
finish.  A  fireplace  and  a  set  of 
double  doors  are  a  few  added 
props. 

Since  the  setting  of  the  play  is 


in  England,  the  costumes  that 
will  be  used  include  a  bobbie 
uniform  and  some  priest  collars. 

"It's  hard  to  say  exactly  how 
long  the  play  will  last  because  we 
are  still  adding  new  ideas  to  the 
script."  said  Mr.  Goss.  "We  do 
expect  it  to  turn  out  well 
though." 

As  for  the  final  week  of 
rehearsals,  the  cast  will  be  trying 
to  perfect  their  accents  and 
finalize  their  onstage  movements. 

Tickets  are  being  sold  by  cast 
members  and  the  stagecraft  class 
for  $1.50.  Tickets  will  also  be 
available  at  the  door 


Sonday  November  Rotarian 

November's  representative  to  the  Rotary  Club  is  senior  Tom  Sonday. 
Tom  is  the  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ross  Sonday,  4020  Enola  Court. 

President  of  the  Student  Council,  Tom  is  a  member  of  the  Forum  Club

Tom  will  be  attending  luncheons  at  the  downtown  Rotary  Club  by  the 
appointment  of  Mr.  William  Geyer. 

Business  clubs  meet 

On  Oct.  21,  the  "Combined  Youth  Leadership  Conference"  was  held 
at  Northrop  High  School.  Involved  in  this  were  both  the  Office  Edu- 
cation Association  (OEA)  and  the  Distributive  Education  Clubs  of 
America  (DECA)  chapters  from  Elmhurst.  Other  clubs  having  repre- 
sentation from  various  schools  in  the  area  include  VICA.  FHA/HERO, 
FFA.  and  Health  Occupations. 

There  were  several  hundred  students  attending  the  conference,  hoping 
to  acquire  leadership  skills  and  ideas  for  improving  their  chapters. 

Representing  the  Elmhurst  DECA  chapter  were  seniors  Gerri  Davis. 
Cris  Evans,  Guy  Washington,  Princilla  Grooms,  Andrea  Padgett,  and 
Mike  McCutcheon. 

Elmhurst  OEA's  members  Tom  Sonday.  Irene  Byrd.  and  Mattie  Cole 
also  participated. 

Underclass  pictures  scheduled 

Underclass  pictures  are  scheduled  to  be  taken  on  Wednesday.  Nov.  5. 
Sophomores  will  be  released  from  their  English  classes  and  juniors  from 
their  history  classes.  Pictures  were  originally  scheduled  for  Sept.  18. 
but  were  altered  because  of  the  teachers'  strike. 

Back  to  School  Night  Nov.  3 

Monday.  Nov.  3,  could  be  proclaimed  the  worst  night  for  many  of 
Elmhurst's  students.  Also  known  as  Back  to  School  Night,  parents  are 
invited  to  take  part  in  this  affair  at  7  p.m.  The  program  will  last  until 
approximately  9: 15  p.m. 

Student  council  representatives  will  be  acting  as  guides  placed 
throughout  the  school  for  the  parents'  convenience  if  help  is  needed  in 
finding  a  particular  room. 

Students  were  asked  to  fill  out  their  daily  schedule  on  forms  provided 
in  homeroom  last  Wednesday.  These  will  be  given  to  parents  who  come, 
for  a  guide  showing  them  what  rooms  to  go  to.  They  will  follow  their 
child's  schedule  with  10  minutes  in  each  class  and  5  minutes  passing 
time.

MANY  TROJANS  AND  ALUMNI  RETURNED  to  EHS  AFTER  THE  HOMECOMING 

GAME  FOR  A  DANCE  SPONSORED  BY  THE  Student  Council,  and  feat^^ring- Ashes- 
Two  students  "get  down"  with  The  Bump. 


Highlighting  every  year's 
Homecoming  week  activities  is 
the  crowning  of  the  Homecoming 
queen.  Eimhurst's  1975 
Homecoming  was  brightened  by 
the  announcement  of  its  queen, 
senior  Claudia  Johnson,  at 
halftime  of  the  October  17  game 
with  Homestead.  Doing  the 
honors  of  crowing  Claudia  was 
last  years  queen,  Sara 
Hoopingarner. 

Thirteen  other  girls  chosen  by 
their  respective  classes  presided 
as  members  of  the  court.  The  four 
girls  making  up  the  senior  court 
were  Bonnie  Bunn,  Mattie  Cole, 
Lori  Rietdorf.  and  Kim  Yarman. 
Five  were  selected  from  the  junior 
class.  They  were  Kelly  Auer. 
Karyn  Heiney,  Sheril 


Hornberger.  Ann  Oswalt,  and 
Carmetta  Walker.  The 

sophomores  chose  Kim  Burry, 
Grace  Cole,  Mary  Hudleson.  and 
Liz  Macias  as  members  of  the 
sophomore  court. 

The  senior  class  came  out  on 
top  as  they  were  awarded  plaques 
for  both  the  best  float  and  best 
hall  decorations.  Both  were 
presented  after  the  crowning  of 
the  queen. 

The  theme  of  this  year's 
Homecoming  was  "A  Vision  of 
Freedom."  With  this  in  mind 
clubs,  homerooms,  classes,  and 
other  willing  groups  built  floats 
that  were  displayed  the  afternoon 
of  Homecoming  day  during  a 
parade  around  the  EHS  football 
field.

It's  not  painful,  it  doesn't  take 
a  lot  of  time,  it's  good 
preventative  medicine,  and  yet 
there  are  still  hundreds  of 
thousands  of  people  who  don't 
want  any  part  of  it  --  and  then 
they  complain  when  the  sickness 
finally  happens. 

Well,  the  time  has  come  again 
when  Americans  are  asked  to 
take  to  the  polls  --  apparently  a 
fate  worse  than  death  (at  least  as 
bad  as  the  black  plague)  --  and 
vote.  In  this  year  before  the 
celebration  of  the  bicentennial,  it 
truly  seems  a  poor  sign. 

The  truth  has  always  been  that 


a  substantially  large  portion  of 
American  voters  have  neglected 
making  the  decisions.  Recently 
added  to  that  statistic  is  the 
unusually  large  number  of  voters 
aged  18-21  who  don't  vote.  How 
much  of  this  is  unconcern,  how 
much  of  it  is  anger  and  how  much 
of  it  is  lack  of  information? 

Apathy  seems  to  be  a  sickness 
no  one  can  cure.  It  takes  an 
extraordinarily  strong 
personality  or  issue  to  get  an 
apathetic  person  to  the  poles. 

The  angry  have  a  point.  They 
often  view  bureaucracy  as  the 
enemy   of   the  people,   but   they 


should  know  by  not  voting  they 
are  only  increasing  their 
problems.  Making  a  choice,  one 
that  comes  closest  to  the 
individuals  values  can  make  a 
difference. 

And  finally,  the  uninformed. 
Half  the  time  young  voters  have 
no  idea  where  they  can  be 
registered.  Registration  can  be 
done  by  any  of  the  parties  and  can 
also  be  done  at  the  courthouse. 

All  in  all,  voting  is  an 
important  part  of  the  democratic 
process.  It's  a  learning  experience 
and  it's  a  medicine  that  can't 
afford  to  be  passed  by. 


Every  year,  while  student 
council  elections  and  campaigns 
are  worked  on  and  sweated  out, 
another  group  of  students  works 
for  the  parties  and  campaigns  of 
city.  state,  and  national 
governments.  While  acting 
mainly  as  errand  runners  and 
helpers  for  higher  party  officials, 
these  young  men  and  women 
comprise  much  of  the  backbone  of 
the  party  and  its  work  during 
election  years. 

Most  of  the  student  workers 
help    out    on    election    day    by 


handing  out  literature  at  the 
polls,  checking  those  who  have 
and  have  not  voted,  and  offering 
rides  and  babysitting  chores  so 
that  people  may  get  to  the  polls. 
Students  18  or  over  may  serve  on 
the  election  board  managing  the 
poll  books  or  acting  as  officials. 
Work  starts  bright  and  early  at  6 
a.m.  and  continues  most  of  the 
day.  These  are  the  basic  services 
that  gain  winning  votes. 

Junior  Anita  Boyer  has  been 
working  year  round  for  the 
Democratic  party  since  the  ninth 
grade.  Her  duties  have  included 


polling  voters  as  to  what  party 
they  belong  to,  if  they  are 
registered,  and  other  general 
questions. 

Working  for  the  Republicans, 
junior  Randy  Girod  has  been 
mailing  letters,  sponsoring 
rallies,  and  walking  precincts 
with  Bob  Armstrong.  On  the 
value  of  student  involvement, 
Randy  commented,  "We,  the 
students,  learn  a  lot,  and  it  gets 
everybody  interested  in 
government"  ...which  is  what  it  is 
all  about!

over  Homecoming 


Monday.  October  13,  the  first 
day  of  Homecoming  week  was 
balloon  day.  The  cheerleaders 
sold  helium  balloons  to  all  spirit 
minded  students,  who  were  al- 
lowed to  carry  the  balloons  along 
with  them  to  all  classes. 

Tuesday,  October  14,  was  both 
sock  and  hat  day.  Students  wore 
their  most  absurd  combinations 
of  the  two. 

Wednesday,  October  15, 
marked  the  Student  Council 
sponsored  Bicentennial 
Wednesday.  Trojans  were  asked 
to  wear  their  all-American  red, 
white,  and  blue.  Remarkably  the 
cafeteria  staff  participated  in  this 
spirit  day  by  wearing  old 
fashioned  bonnets  and  long 
dresses. 


The  next  day,  October  16, 
students  came  to  school  decked 
out  in  their  "Sunday  best"  to 
take  part  in  the  success  of  Dress 
Up  day. 

The  final  day  of  Homecoming 
week,  the  day  of  the  game,  was 
Dress  Down  day  or  Tramp  day. 
Many  students  dressed  in  their 
worst  closet  combinations. 

Following  the  Homecoming 
came,  the  activities  of  the  week 
were  far  from  concluded.  The  first 
dance  of  the  year,  sponsored  by 
the  Student  Council,  proved  to  be 
successful.  Present  students  of 
Elmhurst,  as  well  as  alumni,  were 
invited  back  to  Elmhurst  for  the 
event.  Many  turned  out  to  listen 
to  the  tunes  of  "Ashes"  providing 
the  entertainment. 


A  HAPPY  HOMECOMING  QUEEN,  senior  Claudia  Johnson,  receives  a  hug  fro 
Melissa  Hunter  and  good  wishes  from  enthusiastic  onlookers. 


by  Barb  Harman 

David  Crosby  and  Graham  Nash  are  still 
painting  ■■  word  pictures  that  is  —  and  their 
latest  work,  Wind  on  the  Water  testifies  to  it 
beautifully. 

Although  many  of  the  melodies  give  the 
listener  a  feeling  of  deja  vu  (not  the  album,  the 
concept),  the  album  still  gives  a  strong  effect 
because  of  its  lyrics.  One  exception  to  the  rule 
about  the  melodies  comes  in  Part  A,  Critical 
Mass  of  the  song  To  the  Last  Whale.  This 
short  introduction  to  the  song  is  purely  a 
harmonic,  acappella  study  and  is  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  parts  of  the  record. 

Wind  on  the  Water  is  a  mood  album.  I 
reacted  differently  to  the  song  Mama  Lion 
every  time  I  heard  it;  sometimes  I  loved  it, 
sometimes  it  bored  me.  However,  it  only 
seemed  to  underscore  the  fact  that  Crosby  and 
Nash  are  writing  poetically. 

Some  of  the  best  songs  on  the  album  are 
Carry  Me,  Naked  in  the  Rain,  Bittersweet,  and 
Homeward  Through  the  Haze.  Two  excellent 
songs  on  the  record  are  songs  of  protest.  The 
first,  Fieldworker  is  about  migrant  workers. 
To  the  Last  Whale  is  a  plea  to  save  the  whales 
which  are  being  hunted  to  extinction. 

The  two  songwriters  also  have  the  aid  of 
James  Taylor  and  Carole  King  providing  back- 
up vocals,  and  members  of  King's  band  play 
many  of  the  instrumental  parts. 

If  you're  looking  for  new  melodies  and  ex- 
treme variations  in  style  forget  this  album, 
but  if  you  want  a  portrait  in  words,  this  album 
will  provide  some  of  the  best  enjoyment. 


Mr.  Brugh  gets 

what  he  deserves 


To  the  editor: 

1  would  like  to  express  my 
views  on  a  subject  that  is  rarely 
delved  into  in  letters  to  the  editor. 
It's  about  a  particular  teacher 
who  deserves  much  praise. 

I'm  proud  to  be  a  student  under 
this  man,  I  feel  he  really  cares 
about  me  and  my  classmates  in 
our  learning  and  progressing. 

This  teacher  would  be  defined 
by  all  his  students  as  most 
definitely  the  finest  teacher  in  his 
field  in  the  Midwest.  He  is  very 


much  respected  by  his  pupils.  His 
knowledge  is  great,  and  the 
rapport  with  his  students  is 
fantastic. 

I'm  truly  honored  to  be  a 
student  here  at  Elmhurst  and  he 
and  his  organization  are  one  of 
the  reasons  why. 

I'm  sure  every  band  member 
would  join  with  me  in  saying  - 
Thank  you,   Mr.   Randy   Brugh, 
I'm  proud  to  be  directed  by  you. 
A  Very  Proud  Band  Member 


To  the  Editor: 

I  usually  don't  go  around 
knocking  schools,  and  I  don't 
mean  to  put  this  one  down,  but  I 
think  that  teachers  don't  do 
enough  to  stop  a  fight.  They  act 
like  they  are  afraid  to  stop  it.  I 
see  this  every  damn  time!  I  don't 
know  how  to  stop  this,  but  I  think 
teachers  should  go  right  up  to  a

JUNIOR  MOE  FINK  ATTEMPTS  a  long  field  goal  against  Homestead. 

Trojans  miss  upset  by  4  points 


The  Elmhurat  Trojans  came  up 
four  points  short  of  ending  the 
1975  football  campaign  with  the 
biggest  upset  of  the  season  last 
Friday  as  the  Trojans  were 
outscored  by  Bishop  Luers  34-30. 
The  Trojans  came  out  on  the 
better  end  against  Homestead 
defeating  the  Spartans  6-0  in  a 
rain  drenched,  wind  blown  home- 
coming game,  Oct.  17. 

Elmhurst  went  into  the  Luers 
contest  as  a  100-1  long  shot 
according  to  Fort  Wayne's 
"prognostic  predictors",  and  as 
the  dust  cleared  only  four  points 
saved  them  from  eating  their 
words.

There  is  a  major  conflict  that 
faces  many  high  school  athletes 
.oday.  It  is  the  acceptance  of 
money  for  participating  in 
sporting  events. 

According  to  the  IHSAA  rules, 
no  athlete  can  accept  any  item  of 
intrinsic"  value  without  losing 
his  amateur  status.  In  other 
words,  if  a  player  from  the  Elm- 
hurst basketball  team  was  shoot- 
ing foul  shots  for  money  with  a 
friend  and  won  50  cents,  he  would 
technically  become  a  professional 
athlete  and  could  not  play 
basketball  or  participate  in  any 
high  school  sport  again.  That  is 
utterly  ridiculous.  I  cannot  see 
why  it  would  disqualify  him  from 
playing  any  other  sport  in  high 
school,  and  for  that  matter.  I 
cannot  see  why  it  should 
disqualify  him  from  basketball. 

Professional"  defined 

The  Webster  International 
Dictionary  states  that  a 
professional  is  one  who  engages 
for  a  livelihood  or  gain  in  an 
activity  pursued  ...  The  key  word 
is  "gain."  How  much  money  or 
material  goods  should  gain 
constitute?  Where  is  the  point 
where  an  amateur  high  school 
athlete  becomes  a  professional 
athlete?  If  a  high  school  athlete 
accepts  money  for  participating 
in,  say,  basketball  then  why  is  he 
considered  a  professional  in  all 
other  sports?  He  may  never  have 
played  ping-pong  in  his  whole  life. 
but      he      is      considered      a 


professional  ping-pong  player  and 
is  excluded  from  amateur  ping- 
pong  events. 

I  beUeve  that  the  term  "gain" 
should  be  given  some  monetary 
amount. 
Standards  should  be  specified 

There  should  be  standards 
specifying  the  amounts  of  money 
and  other  royalties  a  high  school 
athlete  should  be  allowed  to 
legally  accept  before  he  becomes  a 
professional  in  his  own  personal 
sport.  Below  are  some  standards 
1  would  set. 

1-  Any  high  school  athlete 
who    receives    $1000    or 

more  a  year  will  be  con- 
sidered a  professional 
athlete  in  that  sport  only. 

2-  Any  high  school  athlete 
who  receives  $1000  or  more 
a  year  for  any  services 
connected  with  his  sport 
will  be  considered  a  pro- 
fessional athlete  in  that 
sport  only. 

3-  Any  high  school  athlete 
who  receives  SIOOO  or  more 
a  year  for  endorsing 
commercial  products  will 
be  considered  a  profes- 
sional athlete  in  that  sport 
which  he  represents  only. 

4-  Any  high  school  athlete 
who  in  any  of  the  above 
three  ways  reaches  a  com- 
bined total  of  SIOOO  dollars 
a  year  will  be  considered  a 
professional  athlete  in  the 
specific    sport    or    sports 

used. 


way,  both  teams  had  a  little 
trouble  moving  the  ball  the  first 
time  they  got  their  hands  on  it. 
This  trend  didn't  last  long 
however,  as  Luers  got  on  the 
score  board  with  a  58  yard  run 
around  the  right  side  of  the  line. 
Instead  of  being  demorilized,  the 
Trojans  came  back  rather  quickly 
as  junior  Curtis  Paschall  took  the 
ball  on  the  next  play  from 
scrimmage  and  went  81  yards  to 
put  the  Trojans  within  a  point  of 
Luers.  The  game  then  turned  into 
a  see-saw  battle  with  the  Trojans 
taking  the  lead  late  in  the  first 
half  on  a  four  yard  run  by 
Paschall  which  made  the  score  14- 
13.  Luers  moved  into  a  15-14  half- 
time  lead  when  junior  John 
Stiffler  was  caught  in  the  end- 
zone  trying  to  punt. 

Threat  Subsides 

Luers  put  the  first  points  of  the 
second  half  on  the  board  and  took 
a  28-14  lead  as  it  looked  like  the 
Elmhurst  threat  was  gone. 
Elmhurst  came  back  however  as 
junior  quarterback  Brian  Russell 
took  to  the  air  and  hit  Ken  Coker 
on  a  37  yard  pass  for  one  score 
and  then  unleashed  a  52  yard 
bomb  to  junior  Ernie  Starks  that 
set  up  Paschall's  third  and  final 
TD.  However,  the  Knights  slip- 
ped over  for  another  score  which 
was  enough  to  hold  off  the  Elm- 
hurst attack. 

Oct.  17  found  the  Trojans 
playing  their  annual  homecoming 
game  against  the  Homestaed 
Spartans  in  the  worst  conditions 


of  the  year.  The  weather  took  its 
toll  early  as  the  Spartans 
fumbled  four  times  in  the  first 
half.  However,  the  Trojans  could 
only  capitalize  once  out  of  the 
four  recoveries.  The  fourth  fum- 
ble proved  fatal  to  the  Spartans 
as  junior  Brian  Russell  took  the 
ball  over  from  the  five  for  the 
games  only  score. 
"The  weather  played  a  big 
factor,"  commented  Coach 
Herman.  "The  wind  was  so 
strong  that  we  couldn't  pass  with 
any  accuracy,  and  the  rain,  of 
course,  didn't  help  the  running 
game." 

Mental  Atittude  Down 

Coach  Herman  also  made  the 
comment  that  although  the 
Trojans  were  not  over  confident 
against  Wayne  or  Homestead,  or 
psyched  out  by  South  Side,  the 
team  didn't  quite  have  their  usual 
mental  attitude.  "We  weren't 
outplayed  by  South  or  Wayne;  we 
beat  ourselves."  remarked  Coach 
Herman,  "On  almost  every  play 
there  was  mental  mistake,  a 
missed  block  or  a  fake  that  was 
not  carried  out." 

The  Trojans  did  lose  their  last 
game,  but  there  were  some  people 
on  the  team  that  Coach  Herman 
feels  did  an  exceptional  job. 
*  'Doraingo  Garcia  at  offensive 
guard  did  well  and  he's  only  a 
sophomore,"  said  Herman.  "On 
defense.  Randy  Jansen  at  end  and 
Jeff  Heller  at  middle  guard  also 
did  a  good  job  during  the  last  few

long  bomb  to  junior  Ernie  Slarhs  against 


Lee  captures  Sectional  crown,  advances  to  state 


by  Rick  Knuth 

Junior  Tim  Lee  placed  fourth  in 
the  Fort  Wayne  Cross  Country 
Regional  to  lead  the  Ehnhurst 
Trojans  to  a  seventh  place  finish. 
It  also  enabled  him  to  advance  to 
the  state  meet  this  Saturday  at 
the  South  Grove  Golf  Course  in 
Indianapolis. 

Tim  covered  the  2'/%  mile  course 
in  a  time  of  12;  19,  only  10  seconds 
behind  the  winner.  Tim  suffered 
from  the  flu  in  the  early  part  of 


tne  week  preceding  tne  regional 
and  he  felt  this  hurt  him  a  lot  in 
the  quest  for  the  individual 
championship. 

The  other  Trojan  runners 
leading  the  way  for  Elmhurst  in 
the  regionals  were  Dave  Lewis, 
Bob  Levy,  Bob  Curts,  Jim 
Freygang,  Chad  Cline,  and  Larry 
Raber. 

Elkhart  Central,  the  number 
one  team  in  state,  won  the 
regional  meet  and  also  had  the 


individual  winner  in  Mark  Harris. 

Three  other  teams  will  also  go 
to  the  state  meet  representing 
Fort  Wayne.  They  are  DeKalb, 
Northrop,  and  Goshen  who 
placed  second,  third,  and  fourth, 
respectively. 

The  Trojan  harriers  advanced 
to  the  regional  by  placing  third  in 
the  Fort  Wayne  Sectional  a  week 
earlier  at  Shoaff  Park.  In  this 
meet  Tim  Lee  outran  a  large 
number    of     highly     regarded 


runners  from  the  area  to  claim  the 
individual  championship. 
Following  Tim  across  the  line  for 
the  Trojans  were  Jim  Freygang, 
Dave  Lewis,  Bob  Levy,  Bob 
Curts.  Larry  Raber,  and  Rick 
Knuth. 

As  a  team  the  Trojan  Harriers 
have  completed  the  best  season 
for  Elmhurst  since  1971.  The  final 
record  was  10-3  overall  and  8-1  in 
SAC  competition.

5  same  win  skein   raises  giris  VB  record  to6-6 


by  Jan  Dowling 

By  bringing  home  five  straight 
victories,  the  girls'  volleyball 
team  has  boosted  its  overall 
standing  to  6-6  and  its  SAC 
record  to  four  wins  against  five 
losses. 

The  Trojans'  first  SAC  win 
came  over  the  North  Side 
Redskins  on  Oct.  14  in 
Elmhurst's  first  home  match.  The 
Trojans  took  the  first  game  15-7, 
then  lost  5-13,  but  fought  back  to 
win  the  third  game  and  the  match 
15-7. 

Trojans  defeat  Cadets,  Hawks 

A  few  days  later  on  Oct.  16,  the 
Trojan  team  swept  in  two  more 
victories  over  Concordia  and 
Harding  in  the  first  match  and 


easily  defeated  the  Hawks  16-14 
and  15-7. 

In  the  second  match  of  the 
evening  against  Concordia,  the 
Trojans,  still  fired  up  from  the 
previous  win,  battled  the  Cadets 
to  win  the  first  game  17-15. 
However,  the  second  game 
proved  not  as  lucky  as  the  team 
fell  12-15.  The  final  game  of  the 
evening  clinched  the  win  for 
Elmhurst  as  they  routed  the 
Cadets  in  another  close  17-15 
game.  The  tired  Trojan  team  had 
pulled  it  off  again. 

The  Trojans'  fourth  victory 
came  on  Oct.  20  over  the 
Homestead  Spartans.  Playing  on 
their  own  home  territory,  the 
Elmhurst  voUeyballers  trounced 


Homestead  15-9, 10-14,  and  14-12. 
The  final  Elmhurst  win  was  over 
the  South  Side  Archers  on 
Tuesday,  Oct.  21.  It  took  the 
team  a  while  to  get  it  all  together 
as  they  lost  their  first  game  10-15. 
However,  this  team's  strong 
desire  to  win  pulled  them  through 
the  next  two  games  with  scores  of 
15-3  and  15-8. 

Elmhurst  falls  to  Wayne 

In  the  last  game  of  the  regular 
season,  Elmhurst  went  up 
against  a  very  strong  Wayne 
team  and  fell  to  the  Generals  13- 
10,  0-15.  and  9-15.  Even  though 
the  scores  may  not  show  it, 
Elmhurst  gave  the  the  Generals  a 
good  run  for  their  money.  The 
Trojans  took  the  first  game  just 


as  the  clock  ran  out,  but  the  very 
hard  spikes  from  Wayne  were  too 
much  for  the  Trojans  as  they  lost 
their  final  games  of  the  season  to 
the  Generals. 

Coach  Cathy  Russell  com- 
mented on  the  team's  winning 
streak,  "All  of  a  sudden  the 
girls  realized  they  needed  to  get 
in  there  and  work  together  as  a 
team."  Apparently,  this  is  the 
secret  to  the  Trojan  success. 

The  1975  volleyball  sectionals 
will  be  held  at  Wayne  High 
School  Oct.  28,  29,  and  30.  Four 
teams  will  play  on  Tuesday  night, 
four  will  play  on  Wednesday 
night,  and  the  winners  of  those 
games  will  play  on  Thursday, 
Oct.  30.

The  Landing  is  located  on  Weat  Columbia  Street, 
but  is  only  one  of  the  original  five  business  blocks  of 
Fort  Wayne.  Here  was  the  first  commercial  area  of 
Fort  Wayne,  thriving  on  the  Wabash  and  Erie  Canals, 
and  later,  on  the  railroad.  What  is  now  known  as  the 
Landing  was  located  on  the  Orbison  Basin  turnaround 
where  boats  brought  grain  and  goods  right  to  the 
storefront  docks  and  then  turned  around  to  head  back 
down  the  canal. 

At  first,  in  the  early  1800's,  the  area  was  basically  a 
mill  district,  containing  saloons,  hardware,  leather 
shops,  and  leading  hotels.  Later  on,  in  response  to  the 
changing  times,  it  became  basically  a  wholesale  and 
warehouse  district.  Stores  were  originally  made  to  face 
mainly  the  docks,  not  the  street.  Of  the  2S00 
businesses  to  inhabit  the  area,  only  about  150  left 
permanent  records. 
Area  features  firsts  for  area 

Firsts  for  the  Landing  include  the  first  Fort  Wayne 
drug  store.  Masonic  lodge,  and  newspaper.  Hotels 
were  always  found  on  the  Landing. 

However,  after  extensive  restoration  in  the  1960's, 
fire  destroyed  the  major  remnant  of  Fort  Wayne,  the 
Rosemarie  Hotel.  Also,  Old  Fort  Drapery  and  various 
other  businesses,  totahng  27,  were  burned  out  last 
February.  Presently,  there  are  six  businesses  left  on 
the  Landing,  but  there  is  still  hope  for  this  historic 
block. 

Landing  owners  optimistic 

Mr.  Ken  Feeley,  husband  of  Mrs.  Nedra  Feeiey  who 
is  president  of  the  Landing  Association  and  owner  of 
the  Mole  Hole,  indicated  several  options  for  the 
Landing.  Presently,  several  parties  are  interested  in 
the  Rosemarie,  owned  by  People's  Trust  Bank.  It 
might  possibly  be  preserved  and  used  for  office  space, 
a  bank,  or  even  a  restuarant.  If  not,  it  and  the  Old  Fort 
Drapery  shop  would  be  torn  down.  Mr.  Feeley  warned 
that  such  action  "would  hurt  the  Landing.  One  third  of 
the  frontage  of  the  Landing  is  in  these  structures." 

Some  of  the  businesses  left  on  the  Landing  inlude 
the  Mole  Hole.  The  Spectator,  the  Pickle,  the  Big 
Wheel,  and  Ma  and  Pa's  Country  Candy  Store. 
However,  Mr.  Feeley  doesn't  feel  it  will  close,  due  to 
the   good   safe   location. 


The 


Spectator 


The  Spectator,  owned  and  operated  by  Greg  Jacobs 
and  Joe  Wood,  was  previously  known  as  the  Silver 
Screen.  It  is  small,  it  seats  only  93  people,  but  it's  also 
small  on  the  wallet.  Standard  admission  costs  only 
$1.50,  less  than  half  the  money  it  costs  to  see  a  film  at 
a  larger  theatre. 

Ore,,'  had  wanted  to  buy  the  theatre  ever  since  he 
converted  the  building,  which  dates  back  to  1915,  into 
a  theatre  for  the  previous  owners.  It  has  been  The 
Spectator  for  ten  months  now.  Greg  and  Joe  are 
worried  about  The  Landing,  but  plan  to  hold  on  as  long 
as  possible. 

The  Spectator  has  shown  films  such  as  "Citizen 
Kane",  "W.C.  Fields",  "Freaks",  the  original  "King 
Kong",  and  "Harold  and  Maude",  which  is  coming 
back  in  late  November  due  to  popular  demand. 
According  to  Joe  Wood,  the  theatre  was  opened  "to 
show  pictures  the  other  commerical  theatres  don't 
show." 

Major  motion  pictures  are  shown  for  one  week. 
Foreign  films  and  lesser  known  films  are  shown  for  two 
nights  in  the  middle  of  the  week,  usually  on 
Wednesday  and  Thursday,  due  to  the  limited  audience. 
The  Spectator  shows  both  GP  and  R-rated  films;  the 
ratio  is  about  half  and  half.  It  also  runs  a  series  of 
experimental  films.  "The  films,"  explains  Steve 
Brown,  film  coordinator,  "are  done  by  independent 
artists.  They  are  very  personal,  bke  a  poem  or  a  piece 
of  art." 

This  year's  film  schedule  includes  such  shows  as 
"Cries  and  Whispers",  "Macbeth",  "Straw  Dogs". 
"No  Man  of  Her  Own",  starring  former  Fort  Wayne 
resident  Carole  Lombard,  "Trash",  and  "The  Gold 
Rush".

;lA/0/VG  THE  LEADERS  coming  over  the  hilt  is  junior  Tim  Lee. 

Tim  Lee  strides  to  5th 
place  in  Indy  state  finals 


by  Verne  Myers 

Cross  country  at  Elmhurst  has 
produced  a  great  runner  and 
competitor  in  junior  Tim  Lee, 
who  placed  fifth  Saturday,  Nov. 
1  at  the  state  cross  country  meet. 
Tim  outclassed  most  of  the  field 
with  an  impressive  time  of 
[2:14.2  for  the  2 '/2-mile  run  at  the 
SouLh  Grove  Golf  Course  in 
Indianapolis. 

Competing  in  a  field  of  123 
runners  from  across  the  state, 
Tini  took  advantage  of  the  fine 
ireather  conditions  to'  not  only 
attain  a  very  high  fifth  place,  but 
[0  achieve  the  highest  underclass 
placement  in  this  year's 
championship.  In  his  second  year 
stElmhurst,  he  has  accompUshed 
more  than  most  runners 
accomplish  throughout  high 
school.  No  other  rumier  in  EHS 
history  has  performed  this  well  at 
state. 

Personal  sacrifice  involved 

It  is  an  effort  that  required 
much  personal  sacrifice  and 
stamina.  Tim  advanced  to  the 
state  finals  as  an  individual 
winner  rather  than  as  a  member 
of  an  advancing  team.  He  was  one 
of  eleven  individual  runners  at 
itate  as  compared  to  16  teams  of 
seven      runners      each. 

Leading  up  to  sectionals,  Tim 
consistently  kept  his  times  in  the 
low  12  minutes,  a  consistency 
which  finally  paid  off.  He 
possesses  the  school  record  of 
12:04,  a  record  which  could  well 
broken  by  Tim  himself  next 
year. 

Coach  recognizes  talent 

After  a  slow  first  meet,  Tim 
igan  to  run  well  and  get  into 
good  physical  shape.  Cross 
country  coach  Carter  Lohr  felt 
Tim  had  something  going  for  him 
3fter  the  second  meet.  Although 
Tim  might  have  surpassed  even 
own  expectations,  Mr.  Lohr 
Wasn't  unaware  of  Tim's  ability. 
Mr.  Lohr  recalled,  "Tim  had 
shown  good  potential  last  year  in 
track.  I'm  not  surprised." 

Even  though  Tim  considers 
'litnself  basically  a  team  man,  Mr. 
Lohr  felt  it  was  his  greatness  as 
^f  individual  that  helped  the 
•^am  and  that  he  deserves  the 
credit. 

Personal  sacrifice  is  reflected  in 
'he  many  miles  run  per  week.  A 


regular  week  might  involve  35-40 
miles  of  running  for  Tim,  22  of  it 
with  the  team.  The  team  began  its 
practice  August  11,  working  out 
twice  a  day.  Since  school  started, 
the  harriers  have  been  out  every 
day  after  school,  running  and 
keeping  in  shape. 

Sectional  win  'encouraging' 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year, 
Tim  figiired  the  only  way  he  could 
make  it  to  state  would  be  with  the 
team.  However,  during  the  year, 
he  performed  strongly  and  after 
he  won  at  sectionals,  Tim  felt 
very  "encouraged." 

Over  the  summer,  Tim  bdgan 
working  out  in  July,  going  out 
whenever  he  found  the  time  or  felt 
like  it.  He  participated  in  North 
Side  summer  track  meets  which 
were  open  to  anyone  who  wanted 
to  participate.  Tim  also  involved 
himself  in  the  Junior  Olympics 
sponsored  by  the  AAU,  a  series  of 
meets  beginning  at  the  sectional 
level  and  ending  at  the  national 
level. 

Strategy  pays  off 

Strategy  plays  an  important 
part  in  cross  country,  and  Tim 
was  evidently  successful  at  it.  At 
state,  a  quick  pace  was  es- 
tablished, and  as  a  result,  Tim 
hung  back  to  wait  his  turn.  Bad 
weather    isn't    necessarily    bad

other  runners  who  are  bothered 
by  it." 

Tim  has  been  running  for  four 
years  and  hopes  to  keep  running 
in  college,  and  then  possibly  go 
into  professional  track.  Right 
now,  however,  he  is  running  with 
the  Elmhurst  team  and  as  Tim 
put  it,  "I  am  very  satisfied.  I  had 
wanted  to  make  the  top  five."

Organizing  club 
not  impossibility 

Tired  of  the  same  old  classes?  Mad  that  there  aren't  any  activities 
for  you?  Well,  it  doesn't  have  to  be  that  way.  Not  that  we  mean 
dropping  out  of  school  is  the  answer,  but  if  you  want  improvements, 
the  best  thing  to  do  is  ask  for  them. 

Getting  a  new  course  or  club  started  is  no>  an  Impossibility.  Take 
for  example  the  new  consciousness  raising  group  which  was  sUrted 
when  a  few  young  women  decided  that  somebody  needed  to  get 
people's  heads  together  on  the  issue  of  feminine  equality.  The  girls 
took  their  idea  to  an  administration  member  w'ho  they  knew  would 
help  them  get  the  idea  off  the  ground.  Getting  the  idea  was  the  most 
important  step  and  then  finding  a  faculty  sponsor  brought  the 
whole  project  together.  _  > 

Getting  a  new  course  started  may  take  a  bit  more  effort,  but  it 
can  be  well  worth  the  time.  It  can  be  very  hard  to  do.  but,  if  enough 
students  want  it,  they  just  might  get  it.  This  year  there  is  a 
curriculum  committee  studying  Elmhurst  courses.  Input  into  that 
group  could  prove  extremely  helpful.  Of  course,  there  are 
Umitations  concerning  teachers  and  what  they  are  legally  quaUfied 
to  teach,  but  if  that  is  not  a  problem,  getting  the  class  might  not  be 
either. 

Finally,  one  word  to  the  wise  ■-  be  tactful.  Protesting  loudly  and 
threatening  will  get  you  nowhere.  Constructive  bargaining  of  ideas 
could  lead  to  an  even  better  club  or  class  than  you  expected. 

So  if  you  want  it,  don't  think  you  can't  get  it  (constructively,  of 
course),  if  you  just  tell  someone  your  ideas.  Communication  break- 
^_^___^^.^_       downs  don't  have  to  exist  •-  they're  only  there  if  you  let  them  be. 

Cost  gets  it  together 

for  ^'See  How  They  Ruri'' 


by  Barb  Harman 

Every  year  we  are  amazed  at  how  well  the 
annual  play  comes  off,  and  this  year,  despite 
a  weak  play,  we  are  amazed  again,  especially 
at  the  superlative  performances  by  many  of 
the  cast  members. 

See  How  They  Run  is  a  comedy  with  some 
clever  lines~and  interspersed  doses  of 
slapstick.  The  plot  centers  aroupd  character 
mix-ups  involving  a  Russian  spy,  a  bishop, 
English  vicars,  and  a  soldier.  The  story  it- 
self does  not  really  bring  itself  together,  but 
the  acting  manages  to  pull  off  the  farce. 

The  best  performance  of  the  evening 
undoubtedly  came  from  senior  Melissa 
Hunter  as  the  prim  Miss  Skillon  who  ends 
up  drunk.  The  part  itself  is  probably  the 
best  as  far  as  character  development  goes, 
but  Melissa  manages  to  bring  off  the  role  to 
its  height. 


Another  job  of  good  acting  comes  from 
senior  Nancy  Beadie  as  Penelope  Toop,  the 
vicar's  wife.  Despite  the  fact  that  her  part  is 
at  times  (particularly  in  the  first  act)  an 
unlikable  one,  she  too  hits  home  some  good 
lines  and  enhances  the  performance. 

Other  excellent  character  performances 
were  those  of  Clive,  portrayed  by  senior 
Tom  Young;  Ida,  portrayed  by  junior  Leslie 
Collier;  and  the  vicar,  played  by  sophomore 
John  Silletto. 

The  technical  aspects  of  the  play  were 
sound  and,  all  told,  the  production  went 
well.  The  lighting  and  sets  came  off  without 
a  hitch. 

Although  the  play  develops  rather 
chaotically  and  ends  with  an  anti-climax, 
the  players  have  still  managed  to  bring  the 
play  off  and  amaze  us  once  again. 


Tardy  policy  conf  uses# 
cafe  collisions  hurt 


To  the  Editor: 

I  would  Uke  to  talk  about  a 
school  policy  that  doesn't  make 
much  sense.  That  policy  is  the  one 
that  says  that  if  a  person  has 
three  tardies,  he  can  be 
suspended  from  school.  I  can 
understand  that  the  school  would 
like  to  cut  down  on  tardies,  but 
under  this  rule,  it  seems  that  the 
student  would  be  wiser  not  to 
come  to  school  -  at  least  he  has 
ten  absences. 

It  seems  that  if  the  school 
wants  to  cut  down  both  absences 
and  tardies,  suspending  someone 
after  three  tardies  may  help  one, 
but  not  the  other.  I  don't  know 
«]vhat  to  suggest,  perhaps  giving 
•Ive  tardies  or  using  another  form 
t/  punishment,  but  at  the 
njoment,  I  think  moat  students 


would  rather  and  could  afford 
better  to  lose  three  days  of  school 
for  legal  reasons  instead  of 
suspension. 

A  confused  student 

To  the  editor: 

Colliding  with  others  while 
either  entering  or  exiting  is  a 
problem  most  of  us  face  when  we 
confront  the  cafeteria  duriiig 
lunch.  What  do  we  do  about  it? 

One  way  of  alleviating  this 
problem  might  be  to  designate 
certain  doors  for  entering  and 
exiting.  Well,  I'm  no  genius  but 
with  the  help  of  all  you  guys,  your 
suggestions  and/or  solutions 
could  eliminate  mass  confusion.

Beach  Boys  reach 
two  generations 

by  Roberta  Cohen 

"The  'older  generation'  hates  the  thought  of  those 
awful  rock  concerts."  ';The  only  reason  young  kids  like 
the  concerts  held  at  the  Coliseum  is  because  then  they 
can  smoke  dope  without  getting  caught."  "Those 
concerts  arejust  a  bunch  of  noise." 

These  quotes  are  often  heard  around  concert  time. 
Recently,  however,  a  concert  was  held  at  the  Memorial 
Coliseum  that  would  make  these  quotes  look  illogical 
and  backward.  * 

The  group?  Try  the  Beach  Boys  on  for  size.  And 
with  them?  None  other  than  Ambrosia. 

Age  groups  amaze 

The  assortment  of  age  groups  present  at  the  concert 
was  amazing  to  the  regular  concert-goer.  There  were 
little  kids,  teenagers,  the  usual  hard-rock  hippies,  and 
shock  of  all  shocks,  adults. 

Now,  you  ask  yourself,  why  on  earth  were  there 
adults?  The  Beach  Boys  have  been  around  for 
approximately  two  decades,  which  means  that,  since 
they  were  popular  from  the  very  beginning,  our 
parents  would  have  had  to  be  their  fans.  Although  ^ 
their  music  has  changed  somewhat,  they  still  are  the 
talented,  creative  group  that  they  were  twenty  years 
ago. 
Twenty  more  years? 

There  really  isn't  much  that  can  be  said  about 
Ambrosia.  One  almost  felt  like  he  was  seeing  a  version 
of  "Now  ya  see  it,  now  ya  don't".  Ambrogia  played  six 
songs  and  then  disappeared  from  the  stage  for  good. 
Sixty  minutes  later,  the  star  group,  the  BEACH 
BOYS,  appeared  and  in  most  people's  opinion,  more 
than  made  up  for  Ambrosia.  Two  decades  from  now. 
maybe  our  children  will  be  reviewing  the  same  group 
we're  looking  at  today.

by  Verne  Myers 

Once  again,  another  movie,  "Let's  Do  It  Again," 
has  come  up  with  a  top  billing.  Bill  Cosby  and  Sidney 
Poitier,  to  attract  moviegoers,  and  this  time,  the  movie 
doesn't  stop  there  in  its  interest  or  entertainment. 
While  not  a  blockbuster  like  so  many  recent  movies, 
"Let's  Do  It  Again"  comes  off  as  a  funny  farce  of 
amateur  versus  professional,  and  of  the  successful 
little  man  knocHing  off  orgaruzed  crime  in  its  own  ring. 
Evidently,  crime  doesn't  pay  unless  you're  the  good 
guy  reaping  the  profits. 

The  interest  centers  on  the  talents  of  Cosby  and 
Poitier  who  carry  the  merely  so-so  storyline  and 
fashion  it  into  a  movie  worth  watching.  The  plot 
centers  on  the  efforts  of  Cosby  and  Poitier  to  obtain 
money,  legally  or  illegally,  for  their  denomination  to 
construct  a  new  church  and  social  center. 

Con  artist  tactics,  luck,  and  hypnotism  are  used  to 
set  the  scene  for  the  middleweight  championship  fight 
of  the  world.  With  Sidney  Poitier  the  hypnotist  and 
Bill  Cosby  the  con  artist,  the  two  from  Atlanta  set 
about  influencing  the  outcome  of  the  fight.  In  the 
realistic  sense,  the  movie  is  a  bit  hard  to  swallow,  but 
this  contributed  to  the  overall  farce.  Between  two 
organized  gangs,  Cosby  and  Poitier  bet  against  the 
odds  and  came  out  ahead. 

Poitier  conjures  up  his  hypnotism  from  years  back, 
saving  our  heroes  from  certain  disaster,  and  finally 
convincing  the  underdog  middleweight  challenger, 
played  by  Jimmy  Walker,  that  he  can  win.  Walker 
wins  the  fight,  and  Cosby  and  Poitier  win  the  money. 
Unfortunately,  they  also  gain  the  attention  of  the  rival 
street  gangs,  and  the  remainder  of  the  movie  is  spent 
in  a  cat  and  mouse  game  of  who  hypnotized  whom. 

In  the  end,  true  to  form,  the  bad  guys  lose  out,  the 
church  gets  its  money,  and  everybody  is  happy. 
Nothing  is  left  to  chance  as  even  the  fighters  knock 
each  other  out  in  the  first  round.  It  is  not  the  best  of 
movies,  but  it  comes  out  as  good  entertainment.

Arcade    slated   Nov.  22 


The    Student     Council     has 

decided    to    sponsor    the    After- 

«A 

Football  Season,   Pr^Basketball 

Season    Penny    Arcade    for    the 

second    consecutive    year.    The 

^ 

Arcade  is  scheduled  for  Saturday, 

^s 

Nov.  22.  The  festivities  will  begin 

^^ 

at  7:00  p.m.  sharp  and  will  end  at 

10:00  p.m. 

^1^ 

Periodically'  throughout  the 

Vf 

night,   musical  entertainment  of 

some  sort  will  be  provided  in  the 

^^^^H 

Elmhurst  gym.  but  at  all  times 

^^^^^ 

there  will  be  approximately  forty 

^^^^H 

different  activities  ranging  from 

pinbaU     machines    to    a    dance 

marathon  for  those  in  attendance 

to  enjoy. 

Other  scheduled  activities 
include  a  ring  toss  for  cokes,  a 
spin  art  booth,  a  cupcake  world,  a 
cake  walk,  a  "shave  the  balloon" 
and  a  pie-eating  contest.  Another 
activity  is  the  Quill  &  Scroll 
sponsored  "Spookhouse"  which 
will  be  located  in  the  tunnels 
underneath  the  school.  The 
Spookhouse  was  the  most  popular 
activity  in  iast  year's  Arcade,  and 
indications  are  that  it  will  be  one 
of  the  better  ones  this  year. 

Besides  the  activities 
sponsored  by  Elmhurst's  clubs 
and  classes,  fifteen  other  schools 
have  also  been  invited  to  bring 


their  ideas  to  Elmhurst.  These 
schools  are  Snider,  South  Side, 
Concordia.  Bishop  Luers.  Bishop 
Dwenger,  North  Side,  Northrop, 
Homestead,  Wayne,  Harding. 
Heritage,Carroll,and  New  Haven 
high  schools  and  also  Kekionga 
and  Portage  Junior  High  Schools. 
Attendance  last  year  was 
estimated  at  about  600,  and  it  is 
likely  that  this  figure  will  be 
matched  or  bettered  this  year. 
Cost  of  admittance  is  fifty  cents, 
and  tickets  to  activities  will  be 
sold  for  a  dime.  Most  activities 
will  cost  only  one  ticket  although 
some  will  be  two  or  three,  but 
none  will  be  more  than  three. 


NFS  selects  Gary,  Ueale  for  abroad 


CANDIDATES  FOR  THE  AFS  SPONSORED 
foreign  exchange  program,  junior  Vance  Veale 
and  senior  Matt  Cary,  hope  for  acceptance  by  the 
screening  committee. 


Every  year,  the  American  Field  Service  Club 
at  Elmhurst  picks  two  candidates  to  be  ex- 
change students  to  foreign  countries.  This  year 
the  club  has  chosen  senior  Matt  Cary  and 
junior  Vance  Veale  to  fill  these  positions. 

Matt  and  Vance  were  selected  from  a  total  of 
eight  foreign  language  students.  They  filled 
out  an  application  and  then  were  interviewed 
by  a  selection  committee  made  up  of  teachers, 
adult  AFS  members,  and  one  student.  On  the 
basis  of  how  welP-they  answered  the  selection 
committee's  questions,  the  two  were  chosen. 

Personality  judged  closely 

Both  of  the  recipients  have  elected  to  be 
abroad  during  the  next  school  year.  Whether 
they  will  be  chosen  for  this  program  will 
depend  upon  how  many  other  students  from 
around  the  country  want  to  be  abroad  at  that 
time  and  how  many  positions  are  available. 
Their  other  choice  is  to  go  to  a  country  during 
the  summer  for  three  months. 

The  cost  for  one  person  going  abroad  for  the 
school  year  is  $1800.  For  the  summer,  the  cost 
is  SHOO.  A  large  share  of  both  amounts  goes 
toward  transportation. 

One  of  the   major   requirements  of  being 


chosen  to  visit  a  foreign  country  is  good 
health.  The  applicants  were  not  judged  on  their 
grades  in  school.  The  judging  consisted  mostly 
of  personality  questions  and  how  they 
,  answered  them. 

Interviews,  interviews,  and  more  interviews 

For  both  Matt  and  Vance,  the  next  step  is 
another  mterview  at  their  homes.  The 
interviewers  will  ask  them  more  questions  and 
at  the  same  time  talk  to  their  parents  to  get  to 
know  them. 

After  completing  that  interview,  they  fill  out 
yet  another  form  which  is  actually 
interview,  just  on  paper.  When  they  have 
answered  all  those  questions,  they  send  it  to 
New  York  to  the  American  Field  Service  office 
there.  After  that,  they  wait  to  see  what 
happens. 

On  the  financial  side,  both  families  will  be 
expected  to  pay  as  much  of  the  money  as  they 
are  able  to.  The  AFS  will  supply  the  balance. 

If  selected  for  the  school  year  program,  both 
Vance  and  Matt  will  be  gone  froin 
approximately  August  of  1976  to  July  of  1977. 


Pro  ject:  Awareness 
gets  started  at  ehs 


Newell  places  in 
FFA  competiHon 


When  asked  about  Project: 
Awareness,  the  newly  founded 
consciousness-raising  group.  Ms. 
Dinah  Cashman  stated,  "There  is 
a  definite  need  for  young  women 
at  EHS  to  form  a  cohesive  group 
and  become  aware  of  the  issues 
that  confront  all  people, 
especially  women,  today, 
realizing  that  alternative  choices 
DO  exist  for  all." 

Project:  Awareness  got  started 
when  juniors  June  Gordy  and 
Leslie  Collier  approached  Ms. 
Cashman  with  the  idea.  Seniors 
Marilynn  Scherer  and  Barb 
Harman  joined  in,  and  since  then 
the  force  has  grown. 

After  two  meetings,  the  group 
has  approximately  ten  members, 
not    including     sponsor     Dinah 


Cashman.  The  goals  and 
determinations  of  the  young 
ladies  involved,  however,  are 
twice  the  size  of  the  group. 

Upcoming  projects  are 
attending  a  feminist  meeting, 
and  setting  up  a  "Women's  Day" 
in  celebration  of  International 
Women's  Year. 

The  meetings  are  rap  sessions 
where  members  discuss  issues, 
viewpoints,  and  solutions.  There 
is  no  president  or  vice-president  - 
just  a  group  of  equally  interested 
young  women. 

If  the  enthusiasm  continues, 
Elmhurst  can  expect  to  hear  a  lot 
more  from  Project:  Awareness.

Elmhurst's  senior  Mark  Newell 
recently  returned  from  Biloxi, 
Miss,  where  he  along  with  Cris 
Cary,  a  1975  EHS  graduate,  and 
Scott  Hyndman,  a  senior  at 
Northrop,  participated  in  the 
National  Junior  Horticulture 
Association  championships.  The 
three  advanced  to  the  national 
level  after  taking  state  honors  at 
the  Indiana  State  Fair  last  July. 

Mark,  Cris,  and  Scott 
competed  in  the  FFA  (Future 
Farmers  of  America)  division  in 
both  the  state  and  national 
contests.  Other  divisions  of 
competition  included  4-H  honors 
and  open.  The  team  placed  third 
in  the  national  FFA  contest 
directly  below  Ohio  and  Kansas, 
who  won  first  and  second 
respectively.  Third  place  winners 
were  awarded  both  a  certificate 


and  an  emblem. 

While  in  Mississippi,  the  trio 
also  attended  workshops  aside 
from  the  competition.  Several  of 
the  horticulture  seminars 
involved  corsage  construction, 
plant  materials,  and  tropical 
plants. 

The  three  were  among  35  other 
horticulture  students  who  won 
the  all  expenses  paid  trip.  The 
group  met  in  Indianapolis 
October  31  and  traveled  via  bus 
to  Biloj '.. 

Mark  became  aware  of  the 
NJHA  and  its  contests  through 
his  teacher  at  morning  RVC,  Mr. 
Reynaldo  Rodriguez.  Mr. 
Rodriguez  also  accompanied  the 
group  to  Mississippi, 

While  at  RVC,  Mark  studies 
horticulture  which  includes 
land. leaping  and  greenskeeping.

The  preview  will  involve  basic 
fundamental  skill  demonstrations 
by  the  basketball  and  wrestling 
teams.  About  the  top  sixteen 
players  from  the  basketball  team 
will  take  part  in  an  inter-squad

will  proceed  as  usual,  except  for 
last  period.  Parents  will  report  to 
sixth  period  as  usual,  but  will  be 
dismissed  at  1:50  and  go  to  the 
cafeteria  where  Mr.  Brugh  and

@        jQ   Winners  named  for  tennis  awards 


Due  to  the  fact  that  the  Trojan 
tennis  team  ended  their  season  in 
high  fashion  with  an  excellent  10- 
4  record,  Coach  Horn  commented 
"More  people  deserved 
recognition  than  just  one  player,'* 
as  he  explained  the  reasons  for 
three  tennis  awards  that  are  new 
to  Elmhurst  this  year. 

In  its  first  year,  the  "Most 
Valuable  Tennis  Player"  award 
goes  to  junior  Tim  Springer.  Tim 
played  both  singles  and  doubles 
throughout  the  season  and 
played  also  in  sectional  action. 

The  "Most  Valuable   Doubles 


Team"  award  will  be  given  this 
year  to  the  very  successful  team 
of  seniors  Greg  Nowak  and  Terry 
Sims.  This  team  boasted  an 
excellent  9-1  record  and  the  best 
in  Elmhurst  tennis  history. 

The  first  recipient  of  the 
"Match  Point  Award"  is  senior 
Stan  Sorgan.  This  award  is 
presented  to  the  senior  tennis 
player  who  contributes  most  to 
the  team,  his  coach,  and  himself, 
by  displaying  ability, 

sportsmanship,  leadership,  and 
an  outstanding  attitude. 

The     "Outstanding    Tennis 


Player  Award"  which  is  given 
every  year  will  go  to  seniors 
Kevin  Lee  and  Stan  Sorgen  as  the 
best  overall  players. 

Coach  Horn  is  looking  forward 
to  next  year  and  a  great  season. 
He  feels  that  with  the  experience 
of  the  six  returning  lettermen, 
and  some  new^  talent  in  from  the 
junior  highs,  next  year's  team 
will  have  a  lot  of  depth  and  could 
even  improve  over  this  year's 
record. 


The  Elmhurst  wrestling  team 
will  begin  the  75-76  season  Dec.  2 
when  it  faces  Bellmont  here  at 
home.  Forty  potential  wrestlers 
showed  up  this  year  for  the  team 
which  has  been  practicing  two 
hours  a  day.  including  Saturdays, 
since  Oct.  15. 


Carrion  and  junior 


\rlla  Walker  look  on 


With  four  weeks  of  basketball 
practice  under  their  belts,  the 
basketball  team  and  coach  Ken 
Eytcheson  are  looking  forward  to 
this  season  with  much  optimism. 
Coach  Eytcheson  stated  that  this 
year's  team  will  be  bigger  but  still 
one  of  the  smaller  teams  in  the 
city  which  seemingly  is  fast 
becoming  an  Elmhurst  tradition. 


^a£ee^Co4ca/ie  Off  d^^scnU 


l>y  Kevin  Lee 

Have  you  ever  heard  that 
saying,  "The  bigger  the  better?" 
Well,  it's  all  wrong.  It  should  be 
changed  to  "The  smaller  the 
better."  At  least  in  the  case  of  the 
girls'  volleyball  team.  We  can 
confidently  say  that  not  one  girl 
on  the  starting  six  towered  over 
5'6"  and  they  still  compiled  an 
jnpressive  6-6  record.  In  our  eyes 
these  girls  are  giants  ...  well,  at 
least  small  people  with  giant 
hearts  who  gave  it  everything 
they  had.  For  those  of  you  who 
denied  yourselves  the  chance  to 
see  the  girls'  volleyball  team  in 
action,  we  can  only  say.  "Go  see 
them  next  year."    , 

You  might  wonder  how  a 
volleyball  match  can  be  exciting. 
Don't  worry  ...  you're  normal; 
that  is  the  very  question  we  asked 
last  year.  It  was  answered  at  the 
first  volleyball  match  we 
attended  last  year  and  again  this 
year.  This  year's  team  was  unique 
because  of  its  height,  but  they 
showed  a  team  spirit  unmatched 
by  any  other  Ehnhurst  team  that 
we  have  observed  including  the 
football  team. 

Dedication  is  the  one  word  that 
best  describes  the  girls  who 
participated  in  volleyball  this 
year.  Just  seeing  one  of  the  girls 
throwing  herself  onto  the  floor 
playing  the  ball  out  of  the  net  and 
entually  wiiming  the  point,  or 
ie*^g  her  dive  into  the  floor  to 
an_impos3ible  shot  just 


•eti. 


makes  us  wonder  what  makes  her 
take  this  sport  so  seriously. 
Dedication  is  the  answer.  What 
made  ten  girls  who  hardly  ever 
got  to  play  sit  through  1 2 
matches  plus  sectionals  and  keep 
cheering  them  on  with  the 
enthusiasm  of  opening  night? 
Again,  the  answer  is  dedication. 

During  the  teachers'  strike,  we 
happened  to  be  at  school  while  the 
gu-ls  were  practicing  volleyball. 
At  that  time,  we  envisioned  a 
perfect  record  for  the  girls,  0-12. 
They  were  small,  uncoordinated, 
and  had  little  experience.  When 
we  looked  at  their  6-6  record,  we 
just  couldn't  believe  our  eyes. 
Much  credit  should  go  to  Coach 
Catherine  Russell  who  molded 
these  girls  into  a  working  team, 
but  most  of  the  credit  should  go 
to  the  girls  who  had  to  be  the 
smallest  team  in  the  city  and 
possibly  in  the  state  of  Indiana. 

Next  year  should  be  a  very 
good  yeai'  if  one  can  look  at  the 
improvement  made  over  the  last 
two  years.  The  girls  have  really 
gotten  it  together  and  should  be  a 
real  contender  next  year. , 

Although  they  were  small, 
young,  and  hghtly  taken,  the 
girls'  volleyball  team  was  a  very 
big  surprise  and  we  just  want 
them  to  know  that  we  were 
"impressed".  We  would  also  like 
to  congratulate  these  girls  who 
showed  fine  sportsmanship  in 
some  very  trying  times  and 
believe  me  there  were  many.

Season  after  season,  people 
hear  the  same  excuses.  This  year, 
instead  of  passing  off  these 
complaints  as  "cheap  excuses  to 
compensate  failure,"  I'd  like  to 
give  you  some  of  the  common 
examples  -  evidence  proving  that 
girls'  sports  at  Elmhurst  has 
indeed  been  shortchanged. 

1.  The  uniform  dilemma. 
Everyone  seems  to  be  able  to 
afford  new  uniforms.  While  the 
teams  that  receive  them  are  well 
deserving  -  the  fact  is:  Girls' 
volleyball,  basketball,  and  teniuB 
all  used  the  same  uniforms. 
Would  any  other  team  put  up 
with  something  like  that? 

2.  Warm-up  jackets  were 
purchased  last  year  --  not  the 
pants,  mind  you,  just  the  jackets. 
The  basketball  and  gymnastic 
teams  (who  have  simultaneous 
seasons)  both  used  them;  the 
problem  here  was  that  there  were 
not  enough  jackets  for  both 
teams.  The  schools  that  Elmhurst 
competes  against  do  not  seem  to 
have  this  problem. 

3.  Several  area  high  schools 
served  oranges  during  the  half- 
time  of  their  respective  home 
basketball  games.  Elmhurst, 
however,  could  not  afford  to 
return  the  favor. 

4.  The  gym,  which  is  in 
constant  use  from  2:35  until  9  in 


the  evening,  is  allotted  to  the 
girls'  basketball  team  from  7  to  9. 
However,  one  particular  night 
last  year,  the  girls  were  forced  to 
practice  upstairs,  because  the 
track  team  needed  to  practice 
pole-vaulting.  This  practice,  by 
the  way,  was  on  an  evening  before 
a  game.  Could  any  other  team  be 
pushed  out  just  for  a  practice? 

These  are  just  a  few;  the  point 
is  simply  that  the  girls  always  get 
the  shaft.  The  treatment  they 
receive  would  never  be  dished  out 
to  the  boys'  teams.  Why  should 
the  girls  bave  to  put  up  with  it? 

To  economize,  we  could  have 
bought  just  the  jerseys  for  the 
football  team  -  but  Elmhurst 
didn't,  and  should  not.  Sport 
teams  deserve  the  respect  of 
being  dressed  in  good  uniforms. 

The  shafting  and 

shortchanging  of  girls  sports  has 
got  to  stop  -  any  athlete  putting 
out  the  effort  deserves  the  best.  It 
is  possible  to  divide  use  of  the 
gym  equally  without  exception. 
Equality  is  the  only  fair  way. 

Elmhurst  and  the  programs 
within  are  supported  mainly  by 
our  tax-paying  parents.  It  is  only 
fair  that  every  student, 
regardless  of  sex,  be  allowed  to 
reap  the  benefits  of  education  and 
extra-curricular  activities.  After 
all,  isn't  that  what  school  is  all 
about?

DECH  sponsors  season  dance 


Each  year  the  Christmas 
holiday  is  filled  with  gift-giving, 
decorations,  and  various  social 
gatherings,  such  as  open  houses, 
parties,  and  dances.  This  year 
proves  to  be  of  the  same  nature  as 
the  DECA  (Distributive 
Education  Clubs  of  America) 
Clubs  of  Fort  Wayne  are 
sponsoring  a  Christmas  dance. 

Featuring  a  live  band  by  the 
name  of  Choice,  the  dance  will  be 
held  on  Sunday,  December  21  at 
the  I.  U. -Purdue  Ballroom. 
Festivities  will  begin  at  9:00  p.m. 


and  end  at  1:00  a.m. 

Tickets  for  the  serai-formal 
holiday  occasion  can  be  obtained 
from  any  DECA  member  or  in 
Room  217  at  $3.50. 

The  DECA  program  wras 
organized  to  promote  on-the-job 
training  for  students  still  in  high 
school.  The  program  is  based  on 
the  idea  that  experience  is  one  of 
the  key  qualities  in  landing  a  job 
in  today's  market. 

Profits  from  the  dance  will  be 
used  in  one  of  two  upcoming 
projects.  The  money  will  either 
help     fund    a     national     DECA 


center  or  pay  for  a  bus  to  the 
annual  DE  state  contest. 

Last  year  a  Christmas  dance 
was  sponsored  by  the  EHS 
Student  Council,  also  a  semi- 
formal  occasion.  The  74  dance 
was,  indeed,  a  success.  This 
year's  dance  is  sponsored  by  aU 
area  high  school  DECA  clubs, 
which  should  bring  in  not  only 
more  people,  but  a  wider  variety. 

So,  dry  clean  your  good  suit 
and  bring  that  good  dress  out  of 
the  moth  balls,  Christmas  is  here, 
celebrate  by  attending  the  DECA 
sponsored  dance. 


Trojans  rock    to   Ethos 


The  Elmhurst  Student 
Council  sponsored  a  concert  by 
Ethos  (Ardour)  in  the 
Elmhurst  gymnasium  after  the 
Dec.  5  basketball  game. 
Attendance  was  somewhat 
disappointing^  but  the  event 
still  broke  even  financially.  The 
attendance  was  somewhat  cut 
into  because  of  SAT's  for  many 
seniors  the  next  morning. 

The  group  was  very  well 
received  by  the  approximately 
300  people  who  came  to  hear 


Xo  present 
annual 
concert 


what  will  probably  be  Ethos' 
last  appearance  in  a  high 
school.  Said  senior  Tim 
Chaney,  "It  was  really  good.  I 
liked  it.  The  keyboards  really 
'got  down'." 

Senior  Dave  Chrzan 
commented,  "I  enjoyed  their 
progressive  style.  They  sound 
similar  to  Yes." 

"I  thought  it  was  outasite," 
added  custodian  Neil  Hoffman. 
"Terrific!  They  really  did  well. 
The  lighting  effects  were 
great." 


The  annual  Elmhurst 
Christmas  concert  will  be  staged 
Sunday,  Dec.  21,  in  the  boys' 
gym.  The  presentation,  by  the 
vocal  music  department,  will 
start  at  2:30, 

Featured  at  the  concert  will  be 
Mrs.  Jane  Lesh  and  Mrs.  Nancy 
Morse.  Mrs.  Lesh,  who  student 
taught  this  fall  with  Mr.  Al 
Schmutz,  will  direct  the  choir  in 
two  numbers.  Mrs.  Morse,  wife  of 
orchestra  director  John  Morse, 
will  perform  a  harp  solo. 

The  cost  of  admission  will  be 


And  presenting  the 
consensus  of  those  attending, 
senior  Mike  Maurer  said,  "I 
was  impressed." 

There  were  some  problems 
with  people  breaking  rules  at 
the  concert,  and  the  possibility 
of  another  performance  of  this 
type  seems  rather  remote,  at 
least  as  far  as  this  year  is 
concerned.  According  to 
student  council  president  Tom 
Sonday,  "It's  too  bad  that  a 
few  rowdies  have  to  ruin  it  for 
the  rest." 


$1.  Tickets  are  available  through 
any  vocal  music  student  or  at  the 
door. 

Elmhurst's  concert  choir  also 
performed  last  Sunday  at  the 
Christ  Child's  Festival  in  the 
Memorial  Coliseum.  The  half- 
hour  performance  featured  Allen 
Shaw  soloing  in  "The  Shepherds' 
Chorus"  from  "Amahl  and  the 
Night  Visitors."  Also  featured 
was  Carole  Stanley,  flutist,  in 
"Flute  Gloria."

Any  business  law  student  can  probably  tell  you 
that  riding  in  a  police  car  and  seeing  the  action  is 
nothing  hke  Adam-12,  Dragnet,  or  any  of  those 
other  TV  dramas.  There's  a  big  difference. 

Recently,  a  program  initiated  by  Mrs.  Sharon 
Banks,  in  cooperation  with  the  Fort  Wayne  Police 
Department,  enabled  business  law  students  to  learn 
law  enforcement  first  hand. 

On  the  appointed  day,  the  students  met  near  the 
office,  and  three  students  were  assigned  to  each 
police  car.  From  then  on,  the  experience  and 
education  of  law  took  over. 

One  car  met  up  with  some  odd  incidents.  First  of 
all,  an  elderly  man  went  the  wrong  way  down  a  one 
way  street,  thus  causing  an  accident.  This  was 
followed  by  a  slight  accident  involving  two  cars. 
These  incidents  all  happened  in  the  short  time  that 
the  students  rode  along. 

On  the  criminal  side,  this  same  car  was  involved 


in  investigating  an  incident  where  a  man  drove 
away  without  paying  a  gas  attendant. 

The  students  had  the  opportunity  to  learn  the  ins 
and  outs  of  law  enforcement.  They  also  participated 
in  such  maneuvers  as  frisking,  learning  how  to  use 
some  of  the  equipment,  and  reading  the  code 
numbers  used  on  the  police  band  stations.  Police 
representatives  plan  to  visit  EHS  to  demonstrate 
the  use  of  some  of  the  other  equipment,  such  as  the 
speed  guns. 

The  ride  along  program  is  still  experimental.  The 
danger  involved  could  cause  the  poUce  department 
to  discontinue  the  program.  Incidents  involving 
shooting  could  cause  legal  and  moral  complications. 

Hopefully,  the  program  will  be  successful  and  be 
able  to  continue  to  give  people  a  better 
understanding  of  law  enforcement  and  our  city 
police.

Life  dangerous 
for  girl  symnasts 

by  Tom  Sonday 

Girls'  athletics  are  growing  bigger  and  better  every  year  in 
Indiana  and  for  that  matter,  across  the  nation.  Unfortunately, 
it  now  appears  as  though  Elmhurst  will  be  behind  in  this 
movement. 
Gymnastics  equipment  dangerous  to  users 

Every  girls"  team  has  had  a  few  injustices  done,  but 
probably  the  team  with  the  best  and  most  obvious  complaints 
is  the  gymnastics  team.  The  things  that  these  girls  have  to  put 
up  with  are  really  unbelievable.  For  example:  Last  year  every 
school,  (with  the  possible  exception  of  South  Side),  that  the 
team  visited  had  better  equipment  than  Elmhurst.  Wayne,  for 
example,  has  two  of  just  about  every  piece  of  equipment  that 
Elmhurst  has  one  of.  And  Elmhurst's  equipment  is  in 
wretched  shape.  The  large  balance  beam  is  wobbly  and  some- 
what "exciting"  to  work  on  to  say  the  least,  and  the  unevens 
are  really  dangerous.  They  have  to  be  tightened  after  each  use 
to  prevent  them  from  slipping,  and  injury  could  easily  result  if 
a  girl  forgot  to  tighten  them. 

School  cooperation  needed 

What's  more,  cooperation  within  the  school  is  almost  nil. 
The  team  must  put  their  mats  down  in  the  cafeteria,  because 
they  can't  be  lifted  to  move  them  upstairs.  All  tables  in  the 
mat  area,  of  course,  have  to  be  moved  and  then  put  back.  This 
is  no  problem,  but  the  custodial  staff  insists  that  the  tables  be 
put  back  exactly  six  tile  squares  apart,  and  the  chairs  must 
also  be  put  exactly  in  line.  There  is  no  obviously  good  reason 
for  this. 

Money  is  being  spent  by  the  athletic  department  on  boys- 
sports.  The  football  team  got  new  helmets  and  new  home 
uniforms  this  year.  It  seems  kind  of  funny  that  these  can  be 
afforded  with  almost  no  hassle,  while  gymnastics  equipment 
can't  be.  The  prejudice  is  obvious,  and  it's  time  that  the  entire 
school,  (not  just  the  girls),  stood  up  for  girls'  athletics.

by  Marilyon  Scherer 

We  thought  it  would  be 
interesting  if  Coach  Kenny 
Eytcheson  and  Coach  Lucy 
Doswell  would  switch 
positions  with  Coach 
Eytcheson  taking  over  the 
girls'  basketball  team  and 
Coach  Doswell,  the  varsity 
team  for  a  practice.  Scene 
opens  with  Coach  Doswell 
taking  roll  

DOSWELL:  (Sharp 

whistle  blown  followed  by 
shrilling  scream)  "O.K., 
hold  the  balls.  Do  we  have 
enough  people  for  a 
scrimmage?  (No  answer) 
Well,  last  night  we  had . 
nine  girls  here  and  had  to 
play  the  starting  five 
against  four  of  our 
sophomores,  and  the 
sophomores  won." 

PASCHALL:  "Lucy,  I 
don't  remember  that." 

DOSWELL:  "Well 
that's  because  you  weren't 
there  Curtis." 

STARKS:  "Then  why 
ya  tellin'  us  about  itV" 

DOSWELL:  "I'm  trying 
to  give  you  an  example  so 
that  win  or  lose  no  matter 
what,  I  want  you  to  act 
like  ladies." 

NARRATOR:  Mean- 
while, upstairs  in  the  girls' 
gym,  Coach  Eytcheson  is 
having  his  problems  with 
the  girls. 

EYTCHESON:  "All 
right,    let's    take    a    head 


and  Kevin  Lee 

count,  2,4.7,8,9-  NINE!!! 
We  don't  even  have 
enough  for  a  scrimmage. 
Where's  the  tall  one  with 
the  cute  long  legs:" 

QUANCE:  "KeUy's  got 
a  date  tonight.  She  went 
home  early  to  wash  and 
set  her  hair." 

EYTCHESON:  "WeU, 
you  can  tell  Kelly  that  she 
can  go  on  a  date  any 
night  she  wants  to  from 
now  on,  because  she  won't 
be  practicing  with  us  any 
more." 

DOWLING:  "That's  aU 
right  with  me.  That  leaves 
the  center  position  open. " 

EYTCHESON:  "Yah, 
but  we  don't  have  a 
stepladder." 

QUANCE:  "You  need  a 
lot  more  than  a  stepladder 
-  you're  so  short  that  you 
can  play  hand  ball  on 
street  curbs!" 

EYTCHESON:  "O.K. 
Let's  go  four  on  four  — 
Gordy,  you  sit  out.  — 
What  was  that  you  said?" 

NARRATOR:  As  you 
can  see  changing  coaching 
positions  would  create  a 
little  havoc.  But  then 
havoc  is  created  by  people, 
and  it's  people  that  make 
things  pretty  interesting. 
More  interest  will  be 
aroused  in  the  next  issue 
of  the  Advance  as  "FROM 
BOTH  SIDES"  continues.

Inconsistency  and  tack  of 
experience  have  hampered  a  quick 
Elmhurst  basketball  team  as  it 
dropped  two  games  last  weekend 
after  an  opening  victory  here  at 
Elmhurst  over  Muncie  South,  59- 
51.  Coming  off  of  a  hard  fought 
68-66  loss  to  Bishop  Luers  Friday 
night,  the  Trojans  couldn't 
recover  at  Harding  the  next  night 
as  the  Hawks  pulled  away  with  a 
58-48  victory. 

Junior  Ernie  Starks  led 
Elmhurst  scoring  with  18  points, 
but  it  wasn't  enough  as  Elmhurst 
didn't  show  much  offensive 
consistency  the  second  half. 
Elmhurst  now  owns  a  0-2  record 
in  the  SAC  and  a  1-2  record 
overall. 

Coach  Kenny  Eytcheson 
remarked,  "The  team  needs  to 
gain    experience.    Starks    is    the 


only  returning  starter."  Not  only 
does  the  team  lack  experience, 
but  it  faces  a  city  which  is  classi- 
fied as  "very  tough"  this  year. 

At  Luers,  Elmhurst  led 
throughout  the  first  three  periods 
only  to  succumb  to  a  ferocious 
Luers  comeback  in  the  fourth 
quarter.  Again  Starks  led  the 
Elmhurst  scoring  with  22  points 
followed  by  Johnnie  White  with 
10  points.  A  big  Bishop  Luers 
team  outscored  Elmhurst  24-12  in 
the  final  stanza  to  erase  a  10  point 
deficit. 

Two  weeks  ago,  the  Trojans 
pulled  off  a  59-51  victory  over 
Muncie  South  despite  the  large 
number  of  turnovers.  ElmhUrst 
looked  impressive  the  first 
quarter  as  they  built  a  17-12  lead. 
Raymond  Walker  and  Mike 
Brewer  led  Elmhurst  scoring  with 
18  and  17  points  respectively. 


LOOKING  HIGH  TO  WARDS  THE  BASKET,  senior  Fred  Underwood  hopes  i, 
he  watches  the  futile  attempt  for  two  sorely-needed  points. 


'JHatHt€K  defeat 

by  Jan  Dowling 

The  Elmhurst  varsity  wrest- 
ling team  has  brought  home 
both  a  win  and  a  loss.  The  victory 
for  the  Trojans  came  over  the 
South  Side  Archers,  36-27,  and 
their  defeat  in  the  first  match  of 
the  75-76  season  came  by  the 
hand  of  Belmont  High  School. 

However,  this  first  match  of 
the  season  did  show  five  winners. 
Competing  in  the  138  lb.  class, 
returning  lettermen  Paul 
Freeman  wrestled  his  opponent  to 
a  9-4  victory.  Likewise  junior 
Nelson  Almond  ,  wrestling  145, 
out  maneuvered  his  Belmont  man 
with  a  9-3  decision.  Wrestling  in 
the  155  and  185  classes 
respectively,  senior  Bill  Monroe 


Sout^  SceU; 

and  junior  Mike  Rush  also  matted 
their  Belmont  contenders.  The 
only  pin  of  the  evening  by  an 
Elmhurst  man  came  from  junior 
Kenny  Young. 

On  Dec.  4,  South  Side  met  with 
defeat  as  the  Trojans  up-ended 
the  Archers  36-27.  The  victors  for 
Elmhurst  in  this  match  were. 
Steve  Esterline,  forfeit,  Paul 
Freeman,  10-7,  and  Nelson 
Ahnond  16-1.  Senior  Bill  Monroe 
also  beat  the  South  opponent  6-2, 
and  Mike  Rush  also  won  his 
match  with  a  7-6  decision. 

The  next  wrestling  match  for 
the  Trojans  will  be  tomorrow 
night  at  7  p.m.  against  Wajnie 
High  School,  followed  five  days 
later  with  a  match  at  Dwenger.

nothingtotalkabout? 

It's  something  to  talk  about  now,  because 
we've  just  raised  it.  Again. 

The  Army  starts  you  at  »36  1  month  (before 
deducltons)-  That's  what  yfi-jHI  earn  while  you 
learn  a  skill. 

If  you  qualify,  you  can  choose  to  learn  how  to 
drive  a  tank,  how  lo  build  a  bridge,  how  to  use  a 
camera,  or  how  to  do  just  about  any  kind  of  job 
you  can  think  of.  And  we'll  guarantee  it  in  writ- 
ing, before  you  enlist. 

After  four  months  you'll  get  a  raise  to  $402 
And  since  so  many  things  in  the  Army  are  free- 
meals,  housing,  medical  and  dental  care— you 
can  save  a  lot  of  it.  And  that's  something  to  talk

Iowa  tests  to  be  administered 


AU  seniors  will  be  taking  Iowa 
Tests  the  week  after  returning 
from  Christmas  vacation.  On 
Thursday,  Jan.  8,  seniors  with  a 
last  name  beginning  with  A 
through  Quick  will  be  taking  the 
test.  The  following  day,  seniors 
with  a  name  beginning  with  Q 


through  Z  will  be  administered 
the  test.  All  RVC  students  will  be 
excused  from  their  classes  at  the 
center  of  the  appropriate  day. 

The  Iowa  test  is  comparable  to 
the  Iowa  tests  administered  to 
students  in  their  freshman  year. 
The  results  of  both  tests  are 


Nouitshy  wins  VFW  contest 


Elmhurst  senior  Les  Novitsky 
was  recently  named  city  winner  in 
the  annual  Voice  of  Democracy 
Broadcast  Contest,  sponsored  by 
the  Veterans  of  Foreign  Wars. 

This  year's  topic  for  the 
speeches  was  "What  our 
bicentennial  heritage  means  to 
me."  Participants  in  the  contest 
wrote  their  speeches  on  this  topic, 
tape  recorded  them,  and  then  sent 
them  to  the  local  VFW  post. 
There  the  speeches  were  heard  by 
a  panel  of  three  judges. 

The  speeches  were  judged  on 
content,  creativity,  originality, 
and  on  the  speech  quality  and 
voice  delivery  of  the  speaker  since 
the  judges  had  no  visual  contact 
with  contestants. 


Les,  the  son  of  Mrs.  Al 
Novitsky,  3443  North 

Washington  Road,  entitled  his 
speech  "Created  by  Man-Inspired 
by  God."  His  speech  stressed  the 
themes  of  pride  in  our  country 
and  responsibility  with  which  Les 
identifies  very  strongly. 

Les  commented,  "When  they 
called  and  told  me  I  had  won,  I 
felt  extremely  honored  and  proud. 
I  hope  to  represent  Fort  Wayne 
well  at  the  district  contest." 

Les  was  awarded  a  $50  savings 
bond  and  will  be  a  guest  at  a 
banquet  where  he  will  deliver  his 
speech  to  VFW  members.  Les 
now  has  the  chance  to  compete  in 
the  district  contest  at 
Kendallville  on  Jan.  16.  If  he  wins 


compared  in  the  areas  of 
improvement  and  decline  of 
knowledge. 

The  guidance  department, 
according  to  guidance  counselor 
Mr.  Douglass  Spencer,  is  making 
an  effort  to  stress  the  importance 
of  this  test  to  all  students. 
Explaining  this  importance,  Mr. 
Spencer  stated,^  "The  Iowa  tests 
are  valuable  in  different  ways  to 
both  the  student  and  school.  The 
results  of  the  tests  are  a  type  of 
self-evaluation  to  the  student  and 
to  the  school,  a  showing  of  its 
accomplishments  and  failures  in 
the  type  of  knowledge  retained  by 
the  students  on  the  tests." 

Other  ways  in  which  the  test  is 
helpful  to  students  taking  it,  Mr. 
Spencer  explained  is  that  it  helps 
the  students  see  the  kinds  of  tests 
given  in  college  and  also  is  of 
assistance  in  job  placement. 


the  district  contest  and  goes  on  to 
win  the  state  contest,  he  will 
travel  to  Washington,  D.C.  to 
participate  in  the  national 
competition  for  a  grand  prize  of 
$10,000. 


Mr.  Traster  joins  office  staff 


A  new  addition  to  Elmhurst's  administrative  staff 
has  been  found  in  Mr.  Robert  Traster.  Mr.  Traster  will 
assist  the  faculty  during  the  absences  of  some  of  its 
members. 

Presently,  Mr.  Traster  is  assuming  the  position  of 
Mrs.  Dinah  Cashman,  the  sophomore  counselor,  who 
has  gone  to  England  to  spend  the  holidays  with  her 
husband,  an  exchange  professor  at  one  of  the 
■  universities  in  London.  Mr.  Traster  will  also  be 
assisting  Mr.  Bienz  and  Mr.  Geyer.  While  Mr.  Sinks  is 
serving  at  the  state  legislature,  Mr.  Traster  will  take 
over  his  counseling  responsibilities. 

Mr.  Traster  is  a  native  of  Garrett.  He  took  courses 
at  Manchester  College,  Ball  State  University,  Indiana 
University,  and  St.  Francis  College.  He  majored  in 
business  and  school  administration.  Before  coming  to 
Elmhurst,  Mr.  Traster  served  as  the  football  coach  at 
Hartford  City  High  School  and  as  athletic  director  at 
North  Side  for  11  years. 

When  asked  what  he  thought  about  Elmhurst,  Mr. 
Traster  replied,  "I  think  the  students  are  similar  to 
most  high  school  students.  I've  gotten  along  well  with 
them.  I  have  known  some  members  of  the  faculty  for 
many  years.  I  feel  that  Elmhurst  has  a  strong  and  very 
dedicated  faculty.  I  hope  to  help  whoever  I  can."

Trojans  edge  over  SaintS;  Knights 


by  Jim  McCleneghen 

The  Elmhurst  Trojans  had  to  come 
from  behind  twice  in  order  to  beat 
Dwenger  and  NonveU  over  the  weekend. 
The  Trojans  downed  Dwenger  in  the  last 
30  seconds,  64-61.  and  had  to  stage  a  last 
quarter  rally  to  surpass  the  Knights  53- 
60. 

Elmhurst  fought  back  from  an  eight 
point  deficit  at  55-47  with  less  than  5 
minutes  to  go  to  defeat  Dwenger.  The 
Trojan  charge  was  led  by  senior  Fred 
Underwood  and  junior  Ernie  Starks. 
Elmhurst  was  not  able  to  put  the  game 
out  of  reach,  however,  due  to  36  per  cent 
shooting  from  the  free  throw  line.  It  was 
not  until  junior  Johnnie  White  stole  the 
ball  with  less  than  10  seconds  to  go  and 
went  in  for  a  layup  to  give  the  Trojans  a  3 
point  lead  that  the  victory  was  assured. 
The  Trojans'  ace  in  the  hole  turned  out  to 
be  its  substitutes  as  the  Elmhurst 
backup's  tallied  11  crucial  points  in  the 
fourth  period  to  keep  the  Trojans  in  the 
game. 

Elmhurst  was  led  by  senior  Raymond 
Walker  who  contributed  21  points  to  the 
cause,  most  of  them  coming  from 
rebounds  and  follow-up  shots.  Also  in 
double  figures  for  the  Trojans  were 
juniors  Ernie  Starks  and  Johnnie  White 
who  threw  in  14  and  12  points 
respectively.  The  victory  was  the  second 


for  the  Trojans  in  four  games  and  their 
first  in  the  SAC. 

Height  advantage  (finally) 

The  following  evening  found  the 
Trojans  in  action  once  again,  this  time 
entertaining  the  Norwell  Knights  here  at 
Elmhurst. 

The  Trojans  enjoyed  a  rare  advantage 
against  Norwell  as  far  as  recent  Elmhurst 
teams  go.  With  the  exception  of  the 
Norwell  centei)  the  Trojans  walked  out  on 
the  floor  with  a  slight  height  advantage. 
This  asset  proved  to  be  very  valuable  as 
time  and  again  the  Trojans  received  two 
and  three  shots  instead  of  just  one. 

The  first  16  minutes  of  the  game  were 
played  quite  closely  with  the  Knights 
finding  the  range  a  little  sooner  than  the 
Trojans  and  taking  a  17-12  lead  at  the  end 
of  the  first  quarter.  Elmhurst  came  right

What  would  happen  if  Coach 
Eytcheson  and  Coach  Doswell 
switched  coaching  positions 
for  a  regularly  scheduled  game 
against  Northrop?  That  is  the 
question  we  ask  ourselves.  The 
following  are  some  possible 
excerpts  if  this  situation  would 
develop. 

EXTCHESON:  O.K..  we're 
going  to  play  a  1-3-1  defense 
and  a  1-2-2  offense.  Well  play  a 
1-2-2  only  if  they  start  in  a  2-3 
zone.  If  they  play  a  man-to- 
man defense  then  we'll  play  a 
man-to-man  offense.  All  right, 
go  get  'em  guys.  Oops!  Excuse 
me!  Go  get  'em  girls. 

DOWLING:  Wait  a  minute, 
coach,  what  was  that  number 
bit?  It  sounded  Uke  a  bunch  of 
lottery  number^and  I  thought 
gambling  isn't  allowed  in  high 
school  sports.  Plus  I  flunked 
algebra  last  quarter,  but  I  had 
Uncle  Phil  for  a  babysitter. 

EYTCHESON:  I'll  forget 
that  last  remark,  Janet,  since  I 
have  no  comment  on  that 
situation.  Those  so-called 
numbers  are  not  lottery 
numbers  -  they  are  our  defense 
and  offensive  game  plans. 

SLATE:  Why  do  we  have  to 
have  a  game  plan,  coach?  We 
can  play  run  and  gun  too! 

NARRATOR:  By  the  way, 
the  girls  beat  Northrop  that 
night  72-12.  Now  let's  take  a 
peek  in  on  Coach  Doswell  and 
see  how  the  varsity  team  is 
faring. 

ANNOUNCER:  HeUo  again 


sports  fans,  it's  45-23  in  favor 
of  the  Northrop  Bruins  here  at 
halftime.  The  Bruins  have 
tamed  Coach  Lucy  Doswell's 
Trojans,and  the  game  has  the 
makings  of  a  real  farce. 

NARRATOR:  Meanwhile, 
down  in  the  boys  locker  room, 
Coach  Doswell  is  giving  one  of 
her  famous  halftime  speeches. 

DOSWELL:  Men,  there  is 
an  old  saying  -  'Horses  sweat, 
men  per3pire,and  women  glow' 
-  you  guys  are  definitely 
perspiring." 

TEAM  MANAGER:  "I'U 
second  that!" 

DOSWELL;  What  seems  to 
be  the  problem  is  bur  offense. 
In  other  words,  when  you  guys 
throw  the  ball  up  there,  it 
doesn't  go  through  the  hoop. 
Twenty-three  points  in  sixteen 
minutes  -  that  means  that 
we've  made  less  than  one 
basket  a  minute. 

STARKS:  So,  what's  our 
strategy  for  the  second  half? 

DOSWELL:  Same  as  the 
first  half,  only  this  time  - 
SCORE! 

NARRATOR:  Well,  the 
result  of  this  game  -  we'll  leave 
up  to  you.  It  looks  as  though 
someone  knew  what  he  was 
doing  when  he  decided  who  was 
going  to  coach  who.  But  with 
the  world  being  the  way  it  is, 
the  women's  movement 
creating  changes  every  day, 
who  knows,  maybe  this  article 
is  not  quite  as  fictional  as  it 
seema.

back,  however,  outscoring  the  Knights 
15-12  in  the  second  quarter  as  junior 
Johnnie  White  and  senior  Fred 
Underwood  began  to  find  the  open  land 
and  move  toward  the  basket  for  the 
layup.  The  Knights,  however,  displayed 
some  fine  outside  shooting  to  hang  on  to  a 
two  point  lead  at  the  half,  29-27. 

The  second  half  opened  up  and  so  did 
the  Trojan  defense  which  held  the 
Norwell  team  without  a  field  goal  for 
almost  the  entire  third  quarter.  Mean- 
while, juniors  Ernie  Starks  and  Johnnie 
White  provided  the  offense  for  the  Tro- 
jans, scoring  all  but  one  of  the  Trojans' 
field  goals  in  the  second  half.  Johnnie 
Whiteled  all  scoring  with  20  points  while 
Ernie  Starks  added  15  for  the  Trojans, 
who  are  now  3-2. 

The  next  action  for  the  Trojans  will  be 
against  Northrop  oh  Dec.  19  at  Elmhurst, 
followed  by  the  Elmhurst-Merillville 
game  the  following  night,  also  at  the 
Trojan  gym.  All  games  start  at  8  p.m. 
with  reserve  matches  preceding  the 
varsity.

-FOOTBALL- 

Congratulations  are  in  order  to 
junior  Johnny  White,  not  as  a 
basketball  player  (yet),  but  as  a 
football  player.  Johnny  was  the 
only  member  of  the  Trojan  team 
to  be  picked  to  the  All-SAC  team 
for  1975.  Johnny  was  the 
defensive  back  for  the  Trojans 
and  as  the  coaches  around  the 
SAC  saw  it,  he  was  one  of  the 
best. 


Coach  Tom  Herman  was 
awarded  a  watch  by  the  10  seniors 
on  the  1975  football  team  in 
appreciation  for  all  that  Mr. 
Herman  has  done  for  athletics  at 
Elmhurst,  in  particular^  the 
football  program.  Coach  Herman 
was  the  first  coach  to  stqrt  a 
summer  fitness  program  for 
athletes,  and,  as  one  of  the 
seniors  put  it,  "I  only  wish  he  had 
been  here  when  we  were 
sophomores."

NISBOVA 

improves 
talent 


The  new  year  starts  out  with  a 
bang  for  Elmhurst  musicians  as 
they  prepare  themselves  for 
various  contests  throughout  the 
next  month.  The  annual 
MISBOVA  contests,  which 
involve  members  of  the  band, 
orchestra,  choir,  jazz  bands,  and 
Trojan  Singers,  will  be  coming  up 
in -the  next  few  weeks  where  solos 
and  ensembles  will  be  judged  and 
commented  on.  Designed  to  im- 
prove musical  talent  and  partici- 
pation, contestants  are  given  use- 
ful criticism  and  experience  which 
many  find  very  rewarding. 


Participation  up  from  last  year 

The  first  contest  will  be  Jan.  24 
when  the  two  jazz  bands  and  the 
Trojan  Singers  perform  at  Snider 
High  School  for  the  jazz  band  and 
swing         choir  NISBOVA 

competition.  Last  year  all  three 
ensembles  received  a  first  rating 
as  these  groups  regularly  rate 
well  at  the  contest. 

The  next  week  on  Jan.  31,  the 
piano,  vocal,  and  string  contest 
will  take  place  at  Bishop  Luers 
High  School  where  solos  and 
small  ensembles  will  be  judged. 
This  year  Elmhurst  will  be 
sending  approximately  15  solos 
and  ensembles  which  vocal 
teacher  Mr.  Al  Schmutz  says  is 
"up  from  last  year. " 

Many  players  work 
hard  for  NISBOVA 

The  next  week  they  go  at  it 
again  when  on  Feb.  7  Elmhurst 
wind  and  percussion  players  will 
display  their  work  at  Woodlan 
High  School.  Consisting  of  many 
of  the  same  members  as  those  in 
choir  and  orchestra,  these  wind 
and  percussion  players  make  up 
about  20  groups  and  individuals 
who  are  all  working  hard  for 
NISBOVA. 

For  those  who  do  exceptionally 
well  in  these  district  contests, 
they  may  go  on  to  perform  at  the 
state  contest  in  Indianapolis 
where  musicians  from  all  over 
Indiana  will  participate  on  Feb. 
28.  Senior  flutist  Carole  Stanley 
remarked,  "In  the  end,  it  gives 
you  a  sense  of  accomplishment. " 


north  Central  uisits  Elmhurst 


If  you  have  been  seeing  new 
faces  roaming  the  haUs  of  EHS 
the  past  two  days  and  thought  to 
yourself,  "I  wonder,  who  are 
those  new  people?",  wonder  no 
more. 

This  group  of  17  educators 
from  throughout  Indiana  are  at 
Elmhurst  representing  the  North 
Central  Evaluating  Association. 
They  arrived  at  Elmhurst  Jan.  13 
and  will  be  in  the  building  until 
Jan.  16. 

Elmhurst,  as  a  member  of  this 
association,  is  evaluated  every 
sfeven  years.  We  go  through  a  self- 
evaluation  within  the  school,  and 
the  evaluating  team  spends  four 
days  at  Elmhurst  looking  at  our 
school. 

Earlier  this  fall,  the  initial  self- 


evaluations  began  with  the  school 
staff  being  divided  into  sub- 
committees. They  evaluated  all 
phases  of  our  school  operation. 
Many  students  were  also 
arranged  in  committees.  The 
different  sections  of  the 
evaluation  criteria  contain 
sections  dealing  with  organiza- 
tion, nature  of  offerings,  physical 
facilities,  and  direction  of  learn- 
ing. These  evaluations  are  then 
reviewed  at  our  state  office  and 
later  at  the  Spring  North  Central 
Conference  in  Chicago. 

The  next  step  of  the  North 
Central  evaluating  process  is  the 
visit  by  the  representatives.  The 
North  Central  team,  while  at 
Elmhurst,  will  observe  exactly 
what  goes  on  in  school  and  the

Joyce  Kingsley.  Photo  by  Tim  Chaney. 


J  student  teachers  Miss  Kim  Schmidt  and  Mis: 


Elmhurst  now  has  under  its 
roof  two  student  teachers  who 
will  be  here  until  the  end  of 
February.  Miss  Joyce  Kingsley, 
student  teaching  with  Mr.  Don 
Goss,  is  a  senior  at  Ball  State 
University  in  Muncie.  Miss 
Kingsley,  originally  from 
Auburn,  graduated  from  DeKalb 
High  School  and  is  now  living  in 
Fort  Wayne.  She  is  teaching 
advanced  art,  photography,  and 
stage  craft  classes  here  at 
Elmhurst.  She  majored  in  art 
education  and  minored  in 
multiculture  education  i  n  college. 
Miss  Kingsley  feels  that  she  is 
learning  a  lot  here  and  that  the 
experience  she  is  gaining  is  good. 
She  can  be  found  in  room  230. 

The  other  student  teacher  here 
is  Miss  Kim  Schmidt,  student 
teaching  with  Mrs.  Lucy  Doswell. 
Miss  Schmidt,  also  a  senior  at 


Ball  State,  graduated  from  North 
Side  High  School  here  in  Fort 
Wayne.  Her  major  is  physical 
education  and  her  minor  is 
psychology.  Right  now  at 
Elmhurst  she  is  teaching  modern 
dance,  tumbling,  and  gymnastics. 

Miss  Schmidt  says  that  she  has 
learned  a  lot  and  is  gaining  good 
experience.  She  finds  the  work 
challenging  and  likes  Elmhurst 
"real  well."  She  also  commented 
that  the  classes  are  full  of  typical 
high  school  students.  Miss 
Schmidt  remarked,  "Most  of 
them  (students)  try  even  if  they 
don't  show  it." 

Neither  one  of  the  ladies  know 
where  they  will  be  working  when 
they  graduate.  Miss  Kingsley 
thinks  she  will  be  a  substitute 
teacher  for  a  while  to  gain  even 
more   experience. 


classrooms.  They  will  also  talk 
with  teachers  and  students, 
review  the  self-study  materials, 
and  make  recommendations  for 
improvement. 

The  chairman  of  the  team 
visiting  Elmhurst  is  Donald 
Slauter,  superintendent  of  the 
Muncie  Community  Schools. 
Members  of  the  committee 
include  Donald  Moretton  and 
Robert  Day,  both  Indiana  high 
school  principals;  Elisabeth 
Good,  an  administrative 
assistant;  Dr.  Carolyn 

Whitenack,  from  Purdue 
University;  and  Don  WooUs,  also 
an  administrative  assistant. 

The  North  Central  team  also 
consists  of  Everett  Holmgcen  and 
Frances  Dodd,  both  high  school 
guidance  counselors;  David 
Thayer,  a  principal's  assistant; 
Malcolm  Julian,  department 
supervisor;  Lloyd  Harrell,  a 
superintendent  of  a  school 
corporation;  and  Gilbert  Dehne 
and  Clifford  Barbour,  both 
chairmen  of  high  school  science 
departments.  Also,  there  are 
chairmen  of  high  school  English 
departments,  Douglas 
Cartwright  and  Ruth  Bertsch; 
and  high  school  teachers,  Susan 
Brooks  and  Barbara  Stauch. 

Stewart  fills 
Rotary  spot 

The  Junior  Rotarian  for  the 
month  of  January  is  senior  Sarah 
Stewart. 

Sarah  is  the  first  female  this 
year  to  be  named  for  the  honor 
and  only  the  second  in  the  history 
of  Elmhurst  to  be  Junior 
Rotarian.  Last  year.  Linda 
Whitton  became  Elmhurst's  first 
female  Rotarian. 

Sarah  is  one  of  two  females 
representing  all  the  city  and 
county  schools  at  the  weekly 
luncheons  in  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  Building.  Bishop 
Luers  High  School  will  send 
senior  Anita  Still  to  represent 
them.  She  will  serve  as  the  only 
other  female  representative. 

Mr.  Bill  Geyer,  assistant  to  the 
principal,  bases  his  monthly 
selections  for  this  post  on  above 
average  grades  and  good 
attitude.  His  January  choice, 
Sarah,  is  the  daughter  of  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  E.  E.  Stewart,  4201  Taylor 
Road.

Several  weeks  ago,  television 
viewers  across  the  country  turned 
on  their  sets  late  one  Saturday 
night  to  be  bombarded  with  some 
of  the  most  bombastic 
commercials  ever  to  hit  the 
screen.  One  of  these  commercials 
advertised  home  training  to 
become  a  U.S.  Ambassador 
("You  too,  can  learn  how  to  say 
yea  to  the  Secretary  of  State.") 
Another  showed  a  group  of 
patients  on  pacemakers  in  a  spot 
that  closely  resembled  that  of  a 
Sears  Diehard  battery 

commercial:  the  patients  were 
left  turned  "on"  and  in  the 
morning  it  was  shown  that  the 
only  ones  left  alive  had  been  using 
the  prescribed  pacemakers. 
I 
Tasteless?  Well,  yes,  but  more 
to  the  point,  contrived.  These  ads 
were  all  part  of  a  new  program 
being  aired  on  NBC-TV  which, 
despite  its  late  time  slot  (11:30 
p.m.)  is  cleaning  up  in  the  rating 
game.  The  reason  for  the  show's 
popularity  is  the  insanity  of  much 
of  what  happens  on  "Saturday 
Night  Live"  (not  the  one  with 
Howard  Cosell).  The  show  boasts 


writers  from  the  humour 
magazine  National  Lampoon,  a 
changing  host/hostess  spot 
which  has  been  held  by  such 
comedians  as  Richard  Pryor  and 
Lily  Tomlin,  singer  Paul  Simor^ 
and  actress  Candice  Bergen, 
comedian  Albert  Brooks  as  a 
regular,  and  the  fantastic 
Muppets. 

Humor  abounds 

Rarely  does  a  show  occur  where 
humor  is  not  the  focal  point.  One 
exception  to  this  happened  on  the 
show  which  Paul  Simon  hosted 
wherein  comedy  gave  way  to 
music.  For  the  most  part,  though, 
from  the  opening  announcements 
to  the  end  of  the  program,  the 
show  produces  hilarity  and 
laughter. 

One  of  the  weekly  spots  has

"Not  Ready  for  Prime  Time 
Players"  --  more  show  regulars  - 
appearing  as  a  bumbling 
President  Ford,  forgetting 
names,  tripping  over  anything  in 
sight,  and  starting  television 
speeches  before  he  is  on  camera. 


Chase  is  also  featured  in  a  news 
"update"  spot  which  always 
begins  with  "Hello.  I'm  Chevy 
Chase  ■-  and  you're  not."  During 
the  assassination  attempts  on 
President  Ford,  Chase  reported 
that  the  chief  executive  has 
accidentally  poked  himself  in  the 
eye  with  his  thumb.  "Alert 
security  men,"  Chase  assured  us, 
"wrestled  the  thumb  to  the 
ground  and  disarmed  it." 

Movies  featured  in  satires 

Skits  also  abound  on  the  series, 
including  one  hilarious  take-off  on 
"Jaws"  which  featured  a  land 
shark  that  knocked  on  the  doors 


of  its  victims,  and  Saturday 
Night's  version  of  "The 
Exorcist"  which  ended  up  with 
priest  Richard  Pryor  strangling 
the  "possessed"  young  girl 
because  of  a  remark  she  made 
about  his  mother. 

All  said,  the  show  is  thriving, 
and  if  the  scriptwriters  can  keep 
up  the  insanity,  it  should 
continue  to  do  so.  So,  if  you're  up 
late  one  weekend  and  Jerry  Rubin 
appears  on  your  screen  to  sell  you 
60's  nostalgia  graffiti  wall- 
paper, don't  leave  in  disguist  --  sit 
down  in  disgust  and  enjoy 
yourself.  It's  Saturday  Night 
Live!

"You  learn  very  quickly  what  your  capacity  for 
beer  is  in  Germany,'*  stated  senior  Greg  Nowak 
when  asked  about  his  trip  there  this  past  summer 
"You  have  to  bo  eighteen  to  buy  it,  but  you  car  be 
any  age  to  drink  it." 

Greg  spent  last  summer  with  the  Hentchell 
family  in  Lubeck,  West  Germany.  The  family 
consisted  of  the  father.  Wilhelm,  who  is  a  teacher  for 
the  border-patrol  pohce,  the  mother  Elfi,  and  two 
boys,  Jochen,  age  11,  and  Jorg.  who  is  15.  Greg 
spent  most  of  his  time  with  Jorg  since  there  was  less 
of  an  age  difference. 

Typical  German  day  much  like  that  in  United  States 
Most  people  would  be  curious  about  how  people 
spend  a  typical  day  in  another  country.  Greg  woke 
up  on  most  days  around  nine  o'clock.  At  breakfast 
(out  in  the  back  yard),  he  and  Jorg  would  talk  about 
morning  activities  which  might  include  a  tennis 
game  or  a  walk  in  the  city  with  their  friends.  At  one 
o'clock,  they  returned  home  for  lunch.  After  lunch 
there  was  usually  something  planned  for  them  by 
the  American  and  German  group  leaders.  For 
example,  Greg,  Jorg,  and  their  groups  were  guests 
at  the  city  hall.  They  took  a  tour  of  the  Luck 
Brewery,  and  they  also  took  a  boat  ride  on  the 
canals  in  Lubeck. 

After  the  formal  meetings  of  the  group,  they 
would  go  home  and  have  coffee  and  cake  with  Jorg's 
parents.  They  would  discuss  what  was  done  during 
the  afternoon.  (Greg  mostly  nodded  his  head  and 
said  "Ja".)  Afterwards,  they  would  call  on  friends 
to  meet  them  in  the  city  after  dinner. 

^  Movies,  dances,  cafes  provide  recreation  abroad 
.Once  in  the  city,  they  would  decide  what  to  do, 


Nowok

with  movies  and  dancing  being  the  main  choices. 
Afterwards,  everyone  would  go  to  a  restaurant  or  f 
cafe  to  get  something  to  drink.  Greg  and  Jorg 
usually  returned  home  around  11:30  and  got  to  bed 
at  midnight. 

One  of  the  liighlights  of  the  trip,  according  to 
Greg,  was  the  informal  tour.  The  American 
participants,  together  with  their  German  brothers 
and  sisters  and  the  group  leaders,  traveled  around 
the  country  in  a  thirty-seater  bus.  They  visited  such 
places  as  Munich,  Central  Germany,  Rottenberg, 
and  in  general,  took  an  all-around  sight-seeing  tour. 

Germans  friendly  on  foot,  demons  behind  the  wheel 

Greg  found  the  people  of  Germany  to  be  very 
friendly  except  on  the  highways.  The  Germans  treat 
their  guests  Uke  "royalty".  He  also  noted  that  it  is 
safe  to  walk  the  streets  there  at  night. 

One  main  American  holiday  took  place  while  Greg 
was  in  Germany  -  the  Fourth  of  July.  The 
Americans  in  his  group  had  dinner  together  and  just 
spent  the  evening  talking. 

In  closing,  Greg  had  a  bit  of  advice  for  people 
considering  the  trip  for  next  year.  "Pack  Ughtly, 
because  a  lot  of  traveling  is  done  by  train  and  bus 
and  you  have  to  carry  your  own  luggage.  There  are 
no  bellboys  in  train  and  bus  stations!" 

The  trip  to  Germany  that  Greg  took  was 
sponsored  by  the  EXPERIMENT  IN  INTER- 
NATIONAL LIVING.  The  trips  are  financed  by  the 
participants,  but  scholarships  are  available. 
Students  who  are  interested  in  the  program  may 
contact  Mr.  Rothe  in  room  256  for  further 
information.

.lUNiniiEHNIESTARKS  fries  for 


Wrestlers  capture    5    wins 


The  Elmhurst  varsity 
wrestling  team  has  captured 
five  wins  over  Concordia, 
Wayne.  South  Side,  New 
Haven,  and  in  the  Woodlan 
Invitational  tournament  to 
boost  their  record  to  5-2. 

The  two  losses,  being 
their  only  ones  so  far  this 
season,  came  from  Bellmont 
and  Bishop  Dwenger, 

On  Dec.  4.  South  Side  met 
with  defeat  as  the  Trojans 
up-ended  the  Archers  36-27. 
The  victors  for  Elmhurst  in 
this  match  were  Steve 
Esterson  and  Stuart  Norton 
by  forfeit,  Paul  Freeman  10- 
7,  and  Nelson  Almond  16-1. 
Senior  Bill  Monroe  also  beat 
the  South  opponent  6-2.  and 
Mike  Rush  won  his  match 
with  a  7-6  decision. 

The  wrestlers'  next  match 
also  proved  to  be  victorious 
with  four  Elmhurst  men 
pinning  their  Cadet 
opponents.  These  pins  came 
from  Jim  and  Nelson 
\Almond,  Kenny  Young;  and 
Bill  Munroe.  Mike  Rush  and 
Mike  Freygang  also  raatt«d 
their  Concordia  contenders 
with  5-3  and  13-2  scores 
respectively. 

On  Dec.  11,  Elmhurst 
defeated  the  Wayne 
Generals  in  the  Trojan 
gymnasium.  Winning  with  a

Almond,  Nelson  Almond, 
Mike  Freygang.  Bill  Munroe^

wrestled  his  opponent  to  a  6- 
1  victory,  while  Kenny

Wayne  man  with  a  6-3 
decision. 

The  Trojans'  nest  victory 
came  over  the  New  Haven 
Bulldogs  33-24.  The  only 
pins  of  the  evening  came

Mike  Rush.  However,  Jim 
Almond,  Nelson  Almond,

by  Verne  Myers 

Elmhurst  had  it  and  then  lost  it 
ab  the  South  Side  Archers 
deprived  the  Trojans  of  a 
basketball  victory  Friday  night 
at  the  Archers'  gym.  Playing 
even  with  the  Archers  for  part  of 
the  game,  Elmhurst  could  not 
apply  it  long  enough  to  hold  off  a 
late  surge  and  succumbed  to 
South  Side  71-66. 

In  the  first  quarter.  South  Side 
began  to  slip  away  from 
Elmhurst  to  establish  an  11-point 
lead,  but  then  the  Trojans  came 
alive  and  behind  the  24-point 
performance  of  junior  Ernie 
Starks,  pulled  up  with  the 
Archers  to  trail  36-32  at  the  half. 

Third  quarter  strong 

Elmhurst  continued  consistent 
play  into  the  third  quarter  to  lead 
49-44,  but  couldn't  battle  to  the 
end  to  gain  another  SAC  victory. 
Raymond  Walker  contributed  12 
points,  and  Mike  Brewer  added  10 
more  for  the  game. 

Twenty-five  turnovers  and 
scoring  lapses  in  the  first  and 
fourth  quarters  hampered 
Elmhurst  on  the  court.  Before  the 
contest  Coach  Kenny  Eytcheson 

Twenty-five    turnovers    and 


scoring  lapses  in  the  first  and 
fourth  quarters  hampered 
Elmhurst  on  the  court.  Before  the 
contest  Coach  Kenny  Eytcheson 
pointed  out,  "Consistency  in  our 
game  and  periods  of  mental 
lapses  are  areas  where  we  need 
improvement."  Defense  so  far 
this  year  had  been  a  strong  point, 
allowing  57.6  points  a  game. 

Reserves  fare  poorly 

In  the  reserve  game,  Elmhurst 
didn't  stay  as  close,  becoming 
South's  seventh  victim  in  a  row 
48-35.  Ron  WhJtson  led  the 
Trojan  reserves  with  12  points. 

Elmhurst  won  two  games 
before  the  Christmas  break  but 
lost  a  tight  overtime  game  in  a 
rematch  with  Northrop  in  the 
holiday  tournament. 

Friday,  Dec.  20,  Ehnhurst 
easily  handled  Northrop  pulling 
away  to  victory  in  front  of  a 
Trojan  home  crowd.  The  next 
night,  Elmhurst  fought  down  to 
the  wire  with  a  visiting 
Mississinewa  team,  but  prevailed 
once  again  at  home. 

Monday,  Dec.  30,  however, 
Elmhurst  was  defeated  in  a  tense 
overtime  rematch  against 
Northrop  70-61  after  rallying  late 
in  the  game  to  tie  it  up. 


Girls   lose  opening  games 


For  the  Elmhurst  girls' 
basketball  team,  so  far  the 
season  has  been  dismal. 
Pounding  defeats  by  Snider, 
South  Side,  and  Concordia 
overshadow  the  1  point  loss 
to  Bishop  Dwenger  with  a 
final  score  of  36-35. 

Coaches  Lucy  Doswell 
and  Kim  Schmidt  do, 
however,  seem  to  forecast 
some  victories  as  the  season 
progresses. 

"Sure  the  scores  look  bad, 
but  I  really  think  that  with 
each  game  we  get  better  and 
better."  a  team  member 
explained.  '  'Most  of  the 
teams  we've  lined  up  against 


this  year  have  had  a  height 
advantage  over  us.  We  just 
have  to  work  harder  and 
jump  higher." 

The  team  sees  a  lot  of 
action  from  basically  seven 
players  --  seniors  Ethel 
Fowlkes,  Carol  Quance, 
June  Gordy.  and  Marilynn 
Scherer,  and  juniors 
Carmetta  Walker,  Kellie 
Slat^and  Kelly  Auer. 

Slate  has  been  the 
consistent  leading  scorer 
with  an  approximately  10 
point  average.  Rebounding 
honors  have  been  shared  by 
Quance,  Auer,  and  Walker.

January  grads  total  66 


by  Roberta  Cohen 

"The  gain  is  mostly  what  is 
learned  on  the  job,"  stated  Mr. 
Joe  Miller  when  discussing  the 
Community  Involvement 
Program.  "Very  few  of  the  jobs 
are  paying  jobs." 

The  Community  Involvement 
Program  is  a  pilot  program  which 
is  in  its  second  semester  in  the 
Fort  Wayne  Community  Schools. 
Right  now,  students  from 
Elmhurst,  South  Side,  and 
W'ayne  are  involved  in  the  single 
semester  pass-fail  course. 

There  are  two  segments  to  the 
program  —  the  Pre-professional 
Intern  Career  Experience  and  the 
Community  Service  Experience. 
The  Pre-professional  Intern 
segment  is  specifically  for  college- 
bound  seniors  to  provide  them 
with  some  work  experience  in  at 
least  one  career  area  that  they  are 
thinking  about  preparing  for  at 
the  college  level.  To  qualify,  a 
student  must  be  a  senior  in  good 
standing  with  the  school,  have 
parent  and  school  approval,  be 
approved  by  the  prospective 
employer,  and  be  able  to  prove 
his/her  intent  to  attend  a 
university. 

The  Community  Service 
Experience  segment's  purpose  is 
to  enable  students  to  understand 
the  value  of  community  service  as 
well  as  help  them  relate  classroom 
learnings  to  community  action. 
The  people  involved  this  semester 
will  be  working  with  the 
Voluntary  Action  Center  in  the 
Foellinger         Building. 

Students  participating  in  the 
program  are  at  all  times 
considered  part  of  their  regular 
schools  and  are  subject  to  their 
school's  rules  and  regulations.  , 
They  also  must  provide  their  own 
transportation. 

When  asked  if  there  would  be  a 
class  regularly  meeting,  Mr. 
Miller  said,  "Ideally  speaking,  I'd 
want  the  students  to  meet.  And 
next  semester  if  schedules  can  be 
fixed,  they  will  meet  periodically 
in  informal  discussion  groups. ' ' 

Participating  this  semester 
from  Elmhurst  are  seniors 
Claudia  Johnson,  Nancy  Beadie, 
and  Sarah  Stewart.  Other 
possible  participants  include 
seniors  Lea  Novitsky,  Kevin  Lee, 
Andrea  Janser,  Marti  Gross, 
Julie  Morken,  Lindy  Loomis,  and 
Barb  Harman. 


Annually,  the  senior  class 
losses  some  of  its  population. 
This  year  is  no  exception  as  66 
January  grads  of  the  total  366 
upperclass  men  and  women  will 
be  leaving  their  post  as  students 
of  Elmhurst. 

A  few  of  the  66  will  be  starting 
college,  but  the  reasons  of  the 
majority  of  those  leaving  EHS 


are  jobs,  the  military  service, 
marriage,  or  j  ust  because  they  are 
sick  of  school. 

Mr.  Douglass  Spencer,  senior 
guidance  counselor,  suggested 
that  all  other  seniors  should  have 
taken  care  of  arrangements  for 
their  cap  and  gown,  completed 
their  graduation  check  Ust,  and  a

Workshop  develops  unity 


"I've  heard  him  speak  before  - 
he  is  fantastic.  I  Ustened  to  him 
for  several  hours  - 1  was  not  bored 
for  a  minute,"  explained  Principal 
Richard  Horstmeyer. 

Mr.  Horstmeyer  was 

describing  Dr.  Zacharie 
Clements,  who  wiU  be  conducting 
Human  Relations  Day,  Feb.  5. 
The  staff  from  Elmhurst  and  its 
feeder  schools,  which  include 
Kekionga,  Portage,  Anthony 
Wayne,  Hoagland,  Indian 
Village,  Lindley,  Study  and 
Waynedale,  wiU  be  attending  a 
Human  Relations  workshop  at 
Wayne  High  School. 

Workshops  help  teachers 
look  at  themselves 

The    various    teachers    will 


gather  in  the  auditorium  and 
conference  rooms  at  Wayne  to 
learn  from  Dr.  Clements  and  Dr. 
WilUam  Marchant  who  will  be 
assisting  Dr.  Clements. 

When  asked  for  his  thoughts  on 
the  workshop,  Mr.  Horstmeyer 
responded,  "Any  Human 
Relations  workshop  is  simply  set 
up  to  help  teachers  look  at 
themselves  and  the  people  they 
work  with  in  order  to  develop  an 
understanding  towards  various 
attitudes." 

Workshops  will  be  conducted 
on  different  dates  and  wiU  involve 
different  schools  in  the  Fort 
Wayne  area.  Mr.  J.  Webb 
Horton,  co-ordinator  of  Human 
Development  for  the  Fort  Wayne 


Community  Schools,  is 
responsible  for  most  of  the 
ground  work  on  the  workshop 
projects. 

Cooperation  -  the  only  answer 

On  the  evening  of  the  fifth, 
parents  and  students  are  invited 
to  Elmhurst  at  7:30  p.m.  for  a 
conference  with  Dr.  Clements. 

"When  every  person  can  accept 
one  another  for  what  we  are  -  then 
we  won't  need  a  human  relations 
day  -  but  this  may  never  happen," 
said  Horstmeyer. 

Cooperation  on  the  part  of  the 
students,  parents,  and  staff  at 
Elmhurst  may  be  the  only 
answer.

by  Nancy  Beadie 

"It  all  started  with  some  of  the 
traveling  players  who  were  not 
getting  the  recognition  at  their 
schools  that  a  basketball  player 
would  get.  And  of  course,  there  is 
a  lot  of  competitiveness  between 
the  schools.  Gunnar  Elliot  and  I 
decided  there  was  a  need  for  high 
school  hockey,  so  representatives 
from  the  schools  were  contacted." 

Mr.  Stew  Block  explained  how 
Fort  Wayne  area  high  school 
hockey  began  last  year.  Mr.  Block 
is  part  of  the  Park  Board  and  has 
a  traveUng  team  of  Midget 
players  (sophomores  and  juniors 
in  high  school).  He  became  aware 
of  the  interest  of  students  playing 
on  Park  Board  and  traveling 
teams  in  playing  in  a  high  school 
league  and  so,  with  Gunnar  Elliot 
ice  arena,  worked  on  the  idea  of 
interscholastic  competition  in  a 
club-type  organization. 

Team  representatives  do  work 

The  teams'  affiliation  with 
their  schools  is  limited  to  the  use 
of  the  schools'  names  and  the 
recruitment  of  players  for  each 
team  from  the  student  bodies  of 
the  respective  schools,  The 
organizational  work  is  done 
through  representatives  of  the 
high  schools,  most  of  whom  are 
players,  such  as  Elmhurst's 
seniors  Andy  Norton,  Mark 
Hershberger,  Greg  Ryder,  and 
junior  Bob  Kratzert.  Some 
schools  have  found  it  tough  to  get 
enough  players  out  for  the  weekly 
games,  however^  Elmhurst  has 
not  had  much  of  a  problem.  Greg 
Ryder  says  that  he  and  other 
organizers  knew  who  played 
hockey  and  who  would  be 
interested  in  playing  a  high 
school  league,  so  they  were  able 
to  recruit  about  18  players. 


Schools  pot 


BELOW:  ELMHURST'S  SENIOR  MARK 
HERSHBERGER  skates  for  the  puck  during  an  Elm- 
hurst-Homestead  game  which  Elmhurst  won,  6-4. 
Right:  Players  face-off  in  a  Park  Board  game  last 
Tuesday.  Several  Elmhurst  players  are  members  of 
Park  Board  teams  as  well. 


The  league  has  two  divisions^ 
and  each  team  plays  a  fifteen 
game  schedule.  There  will  be  a 
round  robin  play-off  in  March. 
They  play  by  the  same  rules  and 
regulations  as  the  traveling 
teams  and  Park  Board  teams 
under  the  direction  of  the 
Amateur  Hockey  Association. 
,  The  coaches  come  from  the 
Park  Board,  but  the  teams  do  not 
have  practices  because  of  the 
difficulty  in  getting  ice  and  the 
cost  involved,  and  the  problem  of 
getting  the  players  at  one  place  at 
one  time.  The  players  themselves 
must  pay  for  the  ice  time  for  the 
games  which  amounts  to  $32  a 
team  per  game.  However,  the 
Columbia  City  team  has  been  able 
to  find  sponsors  from  businesses 


and  individuals  to  defray  its 
costs.  Mr.  Block  hopes  the 
players  in  the  rest  of  the  league 
will  also  be  able  to  get  sponsors. 
He  thinks  that  the  cost  may  be  a 
deterrent  to  some  interested 
students. 

Need  for  fans 

Mr.  Block  says  there  are  still 
some  organizational  problems, 
but  he  is  pleased  with  the  way  the 
league  is  working  overall.  As 
Elmhurst  player  Andy  Norton 
states,  "What  we  really  need  is 
spectators.  We  have  everything 
else  going  for  us."  Mr.  Block 
believes  that  the  games  could 
draw  large  audiences.  He  notes 
that  high  school  teams  in 
Michigan,  Wisconsin,  Ohio,  and 


Minnesota  are  having  much 
success.  He  can  see  the 
possibilities  in  the  good  turnouts 
his  Midget  team  has  had. 

Mr.  Block  hopes  that  when  the 
teams  prove  they  can  draw  fans, 
they  will  eventually  be  sanctioned 
by  the  schools.  He  admits  it  will 
take  time  and  a  more  common 
knowledge  about  hockey  as  a 
sport,  but  he  sees  the  league  now 
as  a  good  outlet  for  students 
interested  in  hockey.  He  says, 
"Most  of  the  players  have  had 
some  experience  playing  hockey, 
but  that's  not  the  important 
thing.  If  a  team  has  one  good  Une 
and  some  supporting  players  who 
really  want  to  play,  it  can  make 
it." 


Homeroom  teacher  merits  praise 


To  the  editor; 

Many  students  and  teachers  feel  that 
homeroom  is  the  most  wasted  period  of 
the  week.  Students  have  nothing  to 
occupy  their  time,,  and  teachers  are 
unprepared  for  questions  that  students 
ask  about  credits,  programming,  etc.  On 
the  contrary,  we  feel  that  our  homeroom 
teacher,  Mr.  Glenn  Miller,  really  cares 
about  us  and  dislikes  wasting  time  as 
much  as  we  do. 

Mr.  Miller  has  realized  that  homeroom 
teachers  are  expected  to  take  place  of 
guidance  counselors  to  reduce  scheduling 
confusion  and  has  done  everything 
possible  to  become  well  informed  about 
the  courses  offered  at  Elmhurst.  He  takes 
the  time  to  talk  to  other  teachers  and 
counselors  to  find  answers  to  the 
students'  questions.  He  keeps  personal 
records  of  each  students'  classes  and 
constantly  checks  them  to  make  sure  that 
everyone  has  enough  credits  in  the  right 
areas  to  graduate. 

One'  student  was  very  upset  over  a  low 
grade  that  she  felt  she  didn't  deserve. 
When  she  went  to.  the  office  to  talk  with  a 


counselor,  she  learned  that  Mr.  Miller  had 
abeady  discussed  the  low  grade  with  him. 
He  had  pointed  out  that  all  her  other 
grades  were  A's  and  B's,  giving  the 
counselor  even  more  reason  to  reconsider 
her  grade. 

This  is  just  one  example  of  the  time  and 
effort  that  Gleim  Miller  spends  on  behalf 
of  his  students.  As  sophomores  and 
juniors,  we  never  really  appreciated  his 
actions,  considering  most  of  it  just  trivial 
paper  work.  But  now,  as  graduation  nears 
(especially  for  all  of  our  January  grads), 
we  realize  what  a  great  job  Mr.  Miller  has 
done  for  us  in  the  past  and  how  hard  he's 
working  right  now  to  make  sure  we'll  all 
be  holding  diplomas  come  June  2. 
Thanks,  Mr.  Miller.  It's  a  good  feeling  to 
know  somebody  cares!

TEAM  ROSTER 


After  losing  their  last  two 
meets,  things  aren't  looking  too 
bright  for  the  Elmhurst  wrestlers 
as  three  of  their  top  men  are  out 
with  injuries. 

Not  until  just  recently  has  the 
team  experienced  any  serious 
injuries,  but  now  two  undefeated 
grapplers.  Nelson  Almond  and 
Mike  Rush,  are  out  with  knee 
\  injuries,  and  junior  Kenny  Young 
is  out  with  B  shoulder  injury. 

Season  stands  at  4-4 

The  varsity  team  now  sports  a 
4-4  record  with  their  latest 
defeats  coming  from  Northrop 
and  Warsaw.  On  Jan.  13,  the 
Trojans  were  downed  by  the 
Bruins  44-17.  However  there  were 
five  victories  for  Elmhurst  from 
Paul  Meredith,  Paul  Freeman, 
Nelson  Almond,  Kenny  Young 
and  Mike  Rush.  Two  days  later, 
the  Trojans  were  defeated  by  the 
Warsaw  wrestlers  39-18.  The 
winners  in  this  meet  were  Paul 
Freeman,  Nelson  Almond.  Bill 
Munroe,  and  Mike  Rush. 

Elmhurst  also  participated  in 
the  Carmel  Tourney  on  Jan.  17 
and  finished  in  sixth  place.  The 
only  first  place  winner  for 
Elmhurst  was  junior  Mike  Rush; 
however,  sophomore  Matt 
Branning  took  second,  and 
seniors  Mike  Freygang  and  Paul 
Freeman  both  captured  third 
place  titles. 

Trojans  will  take  part  in 
sectional  action  Feb.  5-7  joined  by 
Homestead,  Harding,  and 
Wayne.  Varsity  wrestlers  going 
into  sectionals  with  outstanding 
records  are  Paul  Freeman,  Mike 
Freygang,  Kenny  Young,  Bill 
Munroe  and  Mike  Rush.

by  Kevin  Lee 

If  I  were  to  ask  the  student 
body  of  Ehnhurst  what  they 
think  of  Howard  Cosell^I  would 
probably  get  booed  right  out  of 
the  Senior  Doors.  For  this 
reason,  I  am  taking  a  sand  on 
behalf  of  the  "Humble 
Howard."  I  have  news  for  you 
readers,  Howard  Cosell  is 
human  and  most  important  of 
all  he  has  feelings. 

Before  I  defend  Howard 
Cosell 's  rights  as  a  human 
being  and  an  American  citizen^ 
I  have  a  few  items  I  v/ant  to  set 
straight.  Howard  Cosell  is  an 
egomaniac  on  the  world's 
biggest  ego  trip.  This  was  very 
evident  in  his  book  entitled 
Cosell  by  Cosell.  He  is 
"arrogant,  pompous, 
obnoxious,  vain,  cruel,  verbose 
and  a  show  off,"  as  he  himself 
willingly  admits.  Even  though 
these  are  trademarks  of  his 
professionalism,  I  still  can't 
stand  him. 

Cosell  really  unique 

Every  announcer  has 
something  unusual  and  unique 
about  his  broadcasting  style. 
It  may  be  his  voice,  it  may  be 
his  looks,  it  may  be  how  he  gets 
his  point  across  or  even  trivial 


Trojons  defecked  by 
Indians;  defeat  Barons 

by  Verne  Myers 

The  Elmhurst  basketball  team  bounced  from  one  extreme  to  the  other 
as  the  Trojans  experienced  both  sides  of  the  phenomenon  called 
"winning"  last  weekend.  Coming  out  strong  against  DeKalb  here  at 
home  Friday  night  and  holding  for  a  72-66  victory,  Elmhurst  hit  the 
opposition's  court  and  the  other  end  of  the  score,  Saturday  night  against 
Anderson,  losing  96-80. 

Friday  night  Elmhurst  was  in  complete  command  over  DeKalb  for  the 
first  three  quarters  running  up  leads  of  15  points  or  better.  After  trailing 
1-0  at  the  start,  the  Trojans  began  moving  and  hitting  and  led  from  then 
on. 

In  the  last  quarter,  DeKalb  applied  a  full  court  press,  and  several  Elm- 
hurst niissed  free  throws  and 
turnovers  made  the  score  closer 
than  it  might  have  been. 

Elmhurst  scoring  was 
balanced  with  senior  Raymond 
Walker  scoring  18  points, 
followed  by  junior  Ernie  Starks 
with  16.  senior  Fred  Underwood 
with  14,  and  junior  Mike  Brewer 
with  13. 

Saturday,  however,  the 
Anderson  Indians  spoiled  the 
weekend  with  a  convincing  win. 
The  Trojans  couldn't  keep  up 
with  the  home  team  and  were  out- 
distanced in  the  second  half  by 
tough  Anderson. 

Raymond  Walker  again  led  ail 
Trojans  with  29  points,  while 
Ernie  Starks  followed  with  24, 
and  Mike  Brewer  had  14. 

The  Trojans  are  away  for  two 
games  this  weekend,  Friday  night 
at  Snider  in  SAC  play  and 
Saturday  night  in  Delphos.  Ohio 
against  St.  John's. 


JUNIOR  MIKE  RUSH  OVERPOWERS 
his  New  Haven  opponent  on  bis  way  Co  a

Elmhurst  wrestlers  tki  s  season. 


anecdotes  he  may  tell.  With 
Howard  Cosell^it  is  all  of  these 
in  addition  to  the  directness  of 
his  questions  and  the 
frankness  of  his  statements. 

Howard  Cosell  does  not  care 
who  he  cuts  down  because  that 
is  his  job,  to  tell  it  like  it  is, 
even  if  it  is  a  cutdown. 
Play  by  play  bores 

If  you  have  ever  Ustened  to  a 
Sunday  afternoon  broadcast  of 
the  Chicago  Bears  football 
games,  you  know  how  boring  a 
play  by  play  announcer  can  be. 
You  also  know  how  boring  the 
Chicago  Bears  are  to  watch. 
But  Howard  Cosell  along  with 
Don  Meredith  and  Keith 
Jackson  and  later  Frank 
G  if  ford  brought  a  totally  new 
view  to  football  .  .  .  Jackson, 
and  a  year  later  Gifford,  doing 
the  play  by  play,  while 
Meredith  and  Cosell  added 
color  to  the  game  by  telling 
amusing  stories. 

Cosell  does  have  his  own 
style,  that's  for  sure.  He 
insults,  he  cuts  people  down, 
he  destroys  reputations,  and 
his  knack  of  asking  questions 
that  no  one  else  will  ask  has 
made  him  the  controversial 
sports  commentator  he  is. 


The  Elmhurst  girl's  baskeball 
team  suffered  their  sixth  defeat  of 
the  season  losing  to  the  Redskins 
of  North  Side  by  a  score  of  34-26. 
The  game  was  played  on  the 
Trojans'  home  floor  on  Tuesday, 
Jan.  13. 

Senior  Carol  Quance  took  the 
rebounding  honors,  while  senior 
Marilynn  Scherer  led  the  losing 
team's  scorers  with  10  points. 
The  Redskins  were  led  by  senior 
Jan  Ackenbach  in  both  scoring 
and  rebounding,  Achenbach  had 
17  points. 

The  girls  have  yet  to  meet  with 
Bishop         Luers,  Wayne, 

Homestead,  pnd.  Northrop. 
Coaches  Lucy  Doswell  and  Kim 
Schmidt  have  instituted  a 
different  offensive  set-up  to  help 
the  Trojans. 


Even  though  the  Elmhurst 
reserve  squad  bowed  to  the 
Anderson  Indians  Saturday,  they 
added  a  victory  to  their  record  by 
defeating  the  DeKalb  Barons  the 
preceding  night. 

Coach  Phil  Habegger  led  the 
reserve  Trojans  to  a  10  point 
victory  over  DeKalb.  Although  a 
spirited  crowd  backed  the 
Barons,  Elmhurst  could  not  be 
stopped.  Leading  at  the  half  the 
Trojans  battled  on  to  a  53-43  final 
and  another  win. 

Anderson  proved  to  be  more 
than  a  match  for  the  reserves,  and 
despite  the  Trojans'  efforts  the 
Indians  led  the  way  to  a  52-47 
final.  ^

Behind 
the 


The  Trojan  Singers  have  had  about  a 
year  to  prepare  for  their  trip  to  Europe, 
but  as  accompanjest  Andrea  Marchese 
says,  "When  the  idea  was  first  formed, 
we  wondered  if  maybe  it  wouldn't  ever 
happen.  It  was  vague  and  far  off.  Now 
it's  gradually  beginning  to  hit  that  we 
are  going." 

During  the  spring  vacation,  the 
group  will  do  a  series  of  four  concerts 
in  Germany,  Austria,  and  Switzerland. 
Mr.  Al  Schmutz,  choral  director  began 
work  on  the  idea  because  he  says, 
"This  is  the  best  group  I've  ever  had." 
Since  then  the  group  has  geared  much 
of  its  time  toward  making  the  trip 
successful. 


CHOIR  DIRECTOR 
MR.  AL  SCHMUTZ 
contemplates  the 
sound  and  expression 
coming  from  the  mem- 
bers of  Trojan  Singers. 
Left:  Andrea 
Marchese,  who  has  a 
serious  interest  in 
vocal  and  piano  mu- 
sic, accompanies  a 
Trojan  Singer  rehear- 
sal. 


First  it  was  necessary  to  contact  the 
type  of  person  who  handles  this  kind  of 
touring.  Witte  Associates  from  Grand 
Rapids,  Michigan,  was  decided  on 
because  it  offered  the  best  prices  and 
management.  The  Trojan  Singers  have 
had  tour  meetings  with  the 
representative  from  Witte  to  learn 
about  the  concerts,  the  transportation, 
the  facilities,  passports,  and  packing. 

Next^  the  group  had  to  face  the 
problem  of  where  the  necessary  money 
would  be  obtained.  Some  parents  were 
able  to  pay  all  or  part  of  the  fees. 
Several  members  got  jobs  to  help  with 
the  costs.  The  group  worked  as  a  whole 
to  raise  the  rest  of  the  money.  A  paper 
drive,  the  Penny  Arcade,  and  the 
Elmhurst  student  council  were  three 
sources  of  income.  The  money  has 
come  in  small  amounts. 

To  get  musically  prepared  for  the 
tour,  the  group  has  had  to  develop  a 
longer  program  than  it  is  used  to 
giving.  Concerts  usually  last  about  a 
half  hour,  but  for  the  tour,  they  will 
need  to  be  an  hour  longer.  Building  on 
familiar  pieces,  the  troup  has  formed  a 
program  which  includes  some  German 
songsj  and  some  sacred  music  to  be 
sung  at  a  church  service.  Mr.  Schmutz 
stresses  that  the  Trojan  Singers 
provide  variety  entertainment.  He 
says,  "We  do  jazz,  pop,  show  tunes, 
folk.. ..we  do  everything.  We  are  a 
variety  group."  Female  vocalists  have 
sonie  songs  of  their  own  as  do  the 
males. 

A  lot  of  time  is  put  into  the  music  by 
members  of  the  group.  In  addition  to 


.-^JB 


the  regular  hour  after  school,  time 
before  school  ia  spent  on  practicing  in 
sections.  Different  rhythm  instru- 
ments, such  as  drums,  a  pizza  pan,  a 
coffee  can  filled  with  popcorn, 
cow  bells,  and  a  tambourine  are  used, 
and  a  drummer  from  an  area  band 
comes  to  occasional  rehearsals  to  aid 
the  members  with  the  rhythm.  Andrea 
Marchese,  who  plays  the  piano  for  the 
group,  and  Dave  Archer^  who 
accompanies  on  bass,  spend  time 
learning  their  instrumental  parts. 

Many  of  the  singers  are  involved 
with  music  outside  of  the  Trojan 
Singers.  Church  choirs,  the  Elmhurat 
concert  choir,  and  the  Elmhurst  band 
and  orchestra  are  common  musical 
activities.  Members  Yvette  Morrill, 
Claudia  Johnson,  Pat  York,  and  Linda 
Morsches  make-up  their  own  quartet, 
and  they  do  concerts.  Pat  and  Gregg 
Heckley  are  members  of  all-state  choir, 
and  they  join  others  in  participating  in 
all-city  choir.  Andrea  has  sung  in  the 
Philharmonic  presentation  of  the 
Messiah  and  has  played  for  a  musical 
done  at  Norwell  High  School,  "A 
Funny  Thing  Happened  on  the  Way  to 
the  Forum."  NISBOVA  and  other 
contests  are  entered  by  the  singers, 
both  in  the  vocal  and  instrumental 
areas.  Then,  of  course,  the  group  has 
been  doing  close  to  an  average  of  a 
concert  a  week,  so  time  must  be 
allowed  for  those.  As  singer  Matt  Tyler 
said,  "Everyone  in  Trojan  Singers  is 
really  involved  in  school  and  other 
activities  as  well  as  jobs,  so  we've 
made  a  lot  of  sacrifices." 


by  Veroe  Myers 

Out  of  some  remote  dungeon  within  the  confines  of 
this  learning  institution  called  Elmhurst,  concealed  by 
the  many  years  of  reworked,  redesigned  brick  of  this 
ever-present  building,  come  many  varied  musical 
sounds.  Filtering  out  from  their  place  of  origin,  these 
musical  lines  serve  to  move  and  motivate  many  young 
followers  of  this  cultural  art.  Classical,  pop,  rock,  jazz, 
contemporary  —  each  may  be  found  somewhere  down 
in  room  141. 

Self-fulfillment  sparks  devotion 

What  causes  this  devotion  and  sacrifice?  What  is  the 
allure  of  this  occult?  Enjoyment,  the  drive  to 
accomplish,  and  self-fulfillment  are  several  factors 
behind  the  work, 

Everthing  from  individual  practice  to  helping  set  up 
a  stage  goes  into  this  process  of  preparation. 
Individually,  students  better  themselves  with  solo  and 
ensemble  groups  in  which  they  compete  at  the  annual 
NISBOVA  contests.  Junior  Donna  Munroe,  clarinet 
and  piano  player,  is  currently  accompanying  eight 
soloists  for  vocal  and  instrumental  NISBOVA.  She 
has  been  at  school  about  every  morning  for  the  past 
few  weeks  working  with  the  soloists  for  perfection. 
When  asked  why,  Donna  responded,  "For  the 
experience." 

Students  devote  time  to  music 

Many  students  work  hard  on  their  instruments  in 
private  lessons  each  week,  receiving  expert  criticism 
and  instruction.  Ten  Elmhurst  musicians  are  currently 
involved  in  a  Wednesday  night  class  with  Mr.  Ron 
Barber,  father  of  senior  Betsy  Barber.  In  that  class, 
ear  training,  improvisation,  and  theory  are  studied. 

Many  concerts  fill  the  year,  and  organizations  such 
as  all-state  band,  all-city  orchestra,  and  even  small 
"get-together"  groups  perform  each  year.  Some 
students    teach    privately,    arrange    work    around

performances,     and    participate    in    other    outside 
activities. 

As  a  group  effort,  all  the  music  organizations  work 
daily,  such  as  the  jazz  band  for  the  upcoming  Jazz 
Festival.  The  festival  is  just  getting  under  way  with 
parent  and  student  committees  getting  of  the  ground. 
The  real  work  is  just  beginning. 


Cashman  returns  to  EHS 


What  could  be  more  fun  than 
spending  New  Year's  Eve  in  Fort 
Wayne?  Most  likely,  the  list 
would  be  long,  but  for  sophomore 
guidance  counselor  Mrs.  Dinah 

Solo-Debate 
teams  busy 

Tne  solo  speech  team  recently 
placed  second  and  fifth 
respectively  at  the  Whitko  and 
Columbia  City  meets. 

Out  of  the  21  schools 
competing  at  Whitko  on  Jan.  17, 
ribbon  winners  from  Elmhurst 
include  Melissa  Hunter  and  Dave 
Stein,  first  in  dramatic  duo;  Tom 
Sonday,  third  in  boy's  extemp; 
Troi  Lee,  first  in  oratorical; 
Karyn  Heiney,  second  in 
oratorical;  and  Sheli  Winans, 
third  in  original.  Terry  Newsome 
and  Syd  Hutner  also  made  it  to 
the  final  round,  but  they  did  not 
receives  ribbon. 

At  the  Columbia  City  meet  on 
Jan.  27,  the  team  was  led  by 
Karyn  Heiney.  first  in  oratorical; 
Troi  Lee,  third  in  original  and 
fifth  in  oratorical;  Sheli  Winans, 
fourth  in  original;  and  Jim 
Nelson,  sixth  in  humor. 

The  speech  team's  next  meet  is 
at  North  Side  on  Feb.  7. 

The  debate  team  has  a  busy 
schedule  also.  On  Jan.  17,  the 
team  traveled  to  Munster  for  a 
meet.  The  twosome  of  Sue  Taylor 
and  Diane  Lupke  captured  second 
plac^in  their  division. 

The  team  has  on  its  agenda  for 
Feb.  7,  Kokomo,  which  is  the 
regional  debate  meet.  Those  who 
do  well  at  Kokomo  will  advance  to 
the  State  finals. 


Cashman,  New  Year's  Eve  was 
something  special. 

Athens,  Greece  was  the  site. 
Mrs.  Cashman,  her  husband, 
Dan,  and  son.  Matt  were  the 
characters,  and  to  quote  Mrs. 
Cashman,  "A  good  time  was  had 
by  all!" 

"We  spent  three  weeks  in 
England  and  two  weeks  in 
Greece,"  Mrs.  Cashman 
explained.  "We  enjoyed  a  very 
traditional  Christmas  with 
friends  in  England  —  we  cut  the 
Christmas  tree  from  their 
backyard." 

Mrs.  Cashman  also  explained 
some  of  the  differences  between 
British  and  American  school 
systems.  "In  some  respects^our 
school  system  is  superior;  for 
instance,  we  ( American  school 
systems)  have  developed  more 
acceptance  of  emotional  problems 

—  such  as  high  school  counseUng. 
The  British  have  a  'stiff  upper  lip 

—  don't  admit  your  weakness' 
attitude.  We  are  much  more 
liberal." 

Mrs.  Cashman's  husband  is 
living  in  England  as  an  exchange 
professor  sponsored  by  the 
British  government  and  HEW 
(Health,  Education  and  Welfare). 
British  college  professor  John 
Carbury  is  living  in  Fort  Wayne 
in  Dr.  Cashman's  place. 

She  related  an  interesting  story 
about  squid  eyes.  It  seems  her 
husband  ordered  squid,  while 
dining  out  one  evening,  and  her 
son.  Matt,  was  so  appalled  by  the 
fact  that  his  father  ate  squid  eyes 
that  he  decided  to  announce  it  to 
the  entire  restaurant. 

All  in  all,  Mrs.  Cashman  had  a 
nice  time,  but  is  "glad  to  be 
back." 


NEXT  WEEK.  FEB.  8-14.  IS  NATIONAL  VOCATIONAL 
EDUCATION  WEEK.  Elmhurst  is  represented  by  well  over  100 
students  at  the  RVC  (Regional  Vocational  Center)  downtown  in  the  old 
Central  High  School  building.  Students  of  RVC  attend  half  of  their  school 
day  at  the  center  and  the  other  half  in  classes  here  at  Elmhurst.  Shown  in 
photos  above  are  students  learning  various  vocations.  Above  left,  junior 
John  Stiffler  squares  a  comer.  Top  right,  senior  Jacques  Perry  and  junior

Azevedo ,  Furtodo 
noUves  of  Brazil 

Attending  classes  at  Elmhurst  this  semester  are  two  foreign 
exchange  students,  both  girls,  from  Brazil.  The  two,  who  arrived  in 
Fort  Wayne  just  three  weeks  ago,  are  Telma  Azevedo,  who  is  from 
Araraquara,  Brazil,  and  Sydia  Furtado,  a  native  of  the  northern 
Brazil  city  of  Campina  Granda. 

U.S.  lifestyle  exciting,  different 

The  girls  are  here  in  cooperation  with  the  Youth  for 
Understanding  program,  an  American  organization  for  exchange 
students.  They  arrived  in  Fort  Wayne  by  way  of  Miami  and  Detroit 
and  will  remain  in  the  city  through  July,  when  they  return  to  their 
country. 

For  Telma  and  Sydia,  they  find  Fort  Wayne  a  warm  and  friendly 
city,  but  also  one  with  a  life  style  much  different  from  their  own. 
Describing  her  feelings 
concenting  her  new  experience, 
Telma  commented,  "Fort  Wayne 
is  twice  as  large  as  my  own  city  so 
there  is  quite  a  lot  more  to  do 
here.  It's  very  exciting.  All  of  the 
people  I  have  met  are  very  kind 
and  always  help  me  with  finding 
my  classes." 

It  wasn't  until  last  November 
that  the  girls  found  out  about 
their  being  selected  as  exchange 
students.  Previous  to  this,  each 
was  required  to  go  through 
numerous  examinations  and 
interviews.  Because  Telma  and 
Sydia  are  from  different  parts  of 
Brazil,  they  did  not  know  each 
other  until  they  arrived  in  Fort 
Wayne.  It  is  extremely  rare  that 
two  exchange  students  with  the 
same  program  are  placed  in  the 
same  school. 


Cost  of  living  higher  here 

When  asked  to  relate  some  of 
their  activities  in  their  country 
with  those  here,  Telma  spoke  up 
with  a  comment  on  the  cost  of 
living  differences.  In  Brazil, 
things  are  much  less  expensive.  A 
movie  would  cost  close  to  60'  in 
Brazil,  while  a  ticket  to  a 
basketball  game  would  be 
approximately  30'. 

The  American  food  was 
another  topic  of  discussion.  It 
seems  Sydia  very  much  enjoys 
some  of  the  foods  here  in  the  U.S.,

especially  French  fries  and  ice 
cream,  while  Tebna  would  prefer 
Brazilian  food  to  American.  She 
stated  that  there  are  many  more 
fresh  fruits  and  vegetables  back 
home. 

Both  Telma  and  Sydia  are 
living  about  two  miles  from 
Elmhurst,  although  no  one  else  in 
their  host  family  is  an  EHS 
student.  Telma's  host  parents  are 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  David  Fulkerson, 
and  Sydia  is  staying  with  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Terry  Sheron. 


Aniibrum  receives 
top  CSPA  roting 


Recently,  the  Elmhurst 
yearbook,  the  Anlibnim,  received 
high  honors  by  winning  a  first 
place  certificate  in  the  forty-first 
annual  yearbook  critique  and 
contest  sponsored  by  the 
Columbia  Scholastic  Press 
Association. 

Yearbooks  participating  in  the 
contest  were  rated  according  to 
the  classification  listing  on  the 
entry  form  which  was  submitted 
with  the  book.  There  were  also 
self-analysis  questions  on  the 
entry  form  which  helped  to  give 
the  Board  of  Judges  an 
understanding  of  the  school  and 
the  circumstances  pertaining  to 
the  publishing  of  the  book.  Each 
yearbook  was  judged  on  its  own 
I  merits. 


The  highest  amount  of  points 
that  could  be  obtained  was  1000 
points.  The  Anlibrum 

accumulated  882  points  which 
put  it  into  the  first  place  rating 
category.  Those  yearbooks  who 
placed  in  this  category  were 
selected  for  their  special  qualities, 
personality,  spirit,  and  creative 
excellence. 

When  asked  about  her  reaction 
to  the  honor  awarded  to  the 
Anlibrum,  publications  advisor, 
Mrs.  Jane  Hoylman  stated,  "I 
wasn't  surprised.  I  felt  we  had  a 
good  book  last  year.  The  staff  was 
very  experienced,  creative,  and 
conscientious.  I  enjoyed  having 
them.  It  couldn't  have  happened 
to  a  nicer  book." 


Sihulpen  here 

from  Belgium 

Eighteen-year-old  Luc  Schulpen  comes  to  Fort  Wayne  from 
Antwerp,  Belgium.  Luc  has  been  in  the  U.S.  since  last  August. 
Unlike  Tebna  and  Sydia's  situation,  Luc  is  here  in  the  U.S.  for  an 
entire  year.  Before  coming  to  Elmhurst  for  the  second  semester  Luc 
attended  high  school  in  Columbia  City,  where  his  host  family  lived. 
Since  then  his  family  has  moved  to  Fort  Wayne.  Luc's  host  parents 
are  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Robert  DeLanielle. 

Luc  seems  to  like  Fort  Wayne  much  better  than  Columbia  City 
because  of  the  size  differences.  Pointing  this  out,  Luc  explained, 
"Antwerp,  the  city  I  come  from,  is  much  larger  than  Columbia  City, 
so  it  was  difficult  to  adjust  to  the  change.  While  in  Columbia  City^ 
we  would  often  come  to  Fort  Wayne  to  see  a  movie,  so  I  am  a  bit 
familiar  with  this  city." 

Luc  became  aware  of  his 
selection  as  an  exchange  student 
to  the  U.S.  last  June  when  he 
received  a  letter  from  his  host 
family  welcoming  him  to  the 
United  States. 

While  being  interviewed  along 
with  Telma  and  Sydia,  Luc  also 
spoke  about  the  huge  difference 
in  American  foods  as  compared  to 
his  country's.  In  Belgium,  as  well 
as  Brazil,  food  preparation  takes 
approximately  two  hours  for  each 
meal,  quite  a  difference  from  the 
McDonald's  style  meal  so  many 
Americans  are  familiar  with.  For 
LuCjhis  largest  meal  of  the  day  is 
in  the  evening. 

The  school  systems  of  the  U.S. 
and  Belgium  are  dissimilar  in 
several  aspects.  In  Luc's  country, 
as  well  as  in  Brazil,  the  subjects 
that  each  student  takes  are  not 
decided  by  them,  but  by  the 
school  systems.  The  subjects  are 
also  much  more  difficult.  The 
individual  grades,  however,  are 
similar.  There  is  both  a  grade 
school  and  a  high  school. 

The  only  immediate  problem 
cited  by  Luc  as  a  disadvantage  is 
the  difficulty  in  finding  a  job.  All 
exchange  students  with  the 
Youth  for  Understanding  can 
only  work  a  total  of  ten  hours  a 
week  and  no  more.  As  of  this 
time,  Luc  has  been  unsuccessful 
in  finding  employment.

If  Wes  should  go  on  to  become 
a  state  winner,  he  and  a  faculty 
member  of  Elmhurst  will  take  an 
educational  tour  of  Washington, 
D.C.  Highlighting  this  trip  is  the 
announcement  of  the  AU- 
American  Betty  Crocker  contest 
winner  whose  scholarship  will  be 
increased  to  $5,000,

Have  you  got  $200  lying  around  the  home  doing  nothing? 
Maybe  buried  in  the  backyard  or  under  a  mattress?  WeU.  if 
you  don't,  then  you  had  better  start  scrounging  -  because 
if  you  expect  to  be  able  to  pay  for  aU  of  the  senior  necessities 
without  going  bankrupt,  you're  going  to  need  it. 

There  are  class  rings,  class  keys,  graduation 
announcements,  senior  pictures,  banquets,  test  fees,  class 
dues,  coUege  appUcation  fees,  and  the  ever  important  cap 
and  gown.  Chances  are  something  has  been  left  out,  because 
year  after  year  the  Ust  gets  longer  and  longer.  The  last  year 
of  your  "free  education"  is  liable  to  set  you  back  quite  a 
spell. 
Graduation  —  a  money-making  project 

It  seems  graduation  has  become  more  of  a  money-making 
project  rather  than  the  simple  recognition  ceremony  it  was 
conceived  as.  With  this  being  the  bicentennial  year,  you  can 
only  expect  the  commercialism  and  profit-making  to 
increase. 

Picture,  if  you  will,  the  bicentennial  graduation 
ceremony,  beginning  with  a  21-gun  salute  (funds  for  which 
came  from  the  class  dues  treasury),  then,  after  the  singing 
of  the  national  anthem  -  a  glee  club  dancing  out  to  sing 
"We  love  baseball,  hot  dogs,  apple  pie,  and  Chevrolet." 

Don't  bother  with  the  traditional  garb  —  this  year  each 
graduate  will  be  required  to  dress  as  a  historical  character  . . 
.  telling  a  short  story  about  how  it  was  THEN.  And  if  you 
miss  it  —  record  albums  remembering  the  whole  evening 
will  be  on  sale  in  the  cafeteria! 

Necessities  not  that  necessary 

The  question,  somewhere  in  this  satire,  is  why  must  all  of 
these  expenses  be  necessities?  What  happens  if  the  student 
cannot  come  up  with  the  money?  Should  he  be  denied  all  of 
the  "luxuries"  of  a  respectable  graduation? 

Colleges  require  an  appUcation  fee  before  the  senior  will 
even  be  considered.  Imagine  if  you  haven't  decided  upon  a 
coUege,  the  bill  for  applying  at  several  colleges  could  very 
well  limit  your  choices  for  consideration. 


What  may  be  happening  is  that  money-making 
organizations  are  taking  advantage  of  seniors  in  high 
schools  all  over  the  United  States.  Surely  it  must  be 
possible  to  make  caps  and  gowns  for  cheaper  than  $7.50  per 
person.  The  type  of  material  is  hardly  of  expensive  quality 
—  so  the  profits  on  this  sort  of  project  must  be  more  than 
substantial. 

Where  is  the  choice? 

Perhaps  a  little  competitive  spirit  between  companies 
could  bring  the  price  down.  Isn't  that  the  basis  of  our 
economy?  The  free  enterprise  system  that  encourages 
competitive  prices?  Where  is  the  choice? 

It  looks  as  though  students  are  going  to  have  to  maintain 
a  full  time  job  just  so  they  can  afford  the  last  year  of  high 
school.  That  is,  unless  people  wise  up  to  the  fact  that  all  of 
these  senior  graduation  necessities  are  not  all  that 
necessary. 


Winter  and  DarBng  share  their  creativity 


by  Barb  Hannan 

After  hundreds  of  years  of 
musical  development,  both  in  the 
classical  and  popular  areas,  it 
sometimes  seems  as  if  the  art  has 
very  few  more  places  to  go  within 
structural  bounds.  The  only 
apparent  direction  would  appear 
to  be  chaos  and  ambiguity. 
Philharmonic  artists-in-residence 
Paul  Winter  and  David  Darling, 
however,  have  proved  that 
assumption  false  with  not  only 
their  musical  performances  and 
compositions,  but  their  whole 
approach  towards  sharing  the 
excitement  of  making  music. 

Bringing  the  two  to  Fort 
Wayne  was  a  stroke  of  genius  on 
the  part  of  Philharmonic 
conductor  Thomas  Briccetti. 
Saxophonist  Winter  and  cellist 
DarUng  not  only  played  solo 
concerts  and  pieces  with  the 
Philharmonic,  but  also  gave 
climes  at  the  Fine  Arts  center  and 
at  area  high  schools,  including 
Ehnhurst.  Last  Saturday,  they 
were  joined  by  the  other  three 
members  of  The  Winter  Consort 
for  a  performance  at  the 
Embassy. 

Clinics  moat  important 

If  anything  that  the  artists  did 
during  their  stay  could  be 
considered  more  important  than 
anything  else,  the  free  clinics 
would  have  to  be  it.  The  purpose 


of  these  was  to  prove  that  music 
—  good  music  —  could  be  played 
and  created  with  minimal 
technical  skill  by  channeling 
emotions  into  musical 

instruments. 

At  the  Elmhurst  cUnic,  given 
for  members  of  the  music 
departments,  David  Darling 
began  by  explaining  that  some  of 
the  things  he  was  about  to 
present  might  seem  "silly",  but 
that  the  space  they  were  all  in 
was  "safe"  and  that  they  could 
feel  secure  doing  them  there.  He 
then  led  the  group  in  a  series  of 
vocal  exercises  which  some 
described  as  "weird"  and  others 
advocated  as  "group  therapy." 
One  of  these  exercises  was  a  duet 
called  "Me?  You!"  in  which  the 
first  person  began  by  saying 
"Me!"  or  "Me?"  to  which  the 
second  person  could  answer 
likewise  or  similarly  with  "You." 

The  students  finally  broke  up 
into  ensembles  of  three  and  four 
people  and  were  each  given  the 
opportunity  for  a  short 
improvisation.  Most  of  the 
sounds  created  were  so  complex 
that  they  might  not  have  been 
told  from  music  played  on  a 
professional  level. 

Consort  performs 

In  addition  to  sharing  their 
ideas  on  music  in  the  classroom, 
the  two  gave  various  concerts, 


the  most  impressive  of  which  was 
undoubtedly  the  one  given 
Saturday  with  The  Winter 
Consort.  The  group's  music  is  so 
intricate  as  to  defy 
categorization;  it  is  neither  jazz, 
rock,  nor  classical,  yet  it  is  all 
three. 

All  of  the  members  of  the  group 
are  extraordinarily  talented,  and 
many  times  almost  stunned  the 
audience  with  the  intensity  of 
their  playing.  A  case  in  point  is 
the  ten-minute  percussion  solo 
which  two  members  of  the  group 
produced.  One  of  these 
percussionists,  Tigger  Bentley, 
was  a  student  of  Ravi  Shankar's 
percussionist,  who  is  reputed  to 
be  the  best  tabla  player  in  the 
world. 

Another  number  which  quickly 
brought  the  audience  to  their  feet 
was  "Minuit"  which  began 
quietly,  built  into  a  percussion 
solo  by  the  entire  group,  and 
finally  into  a  crescendo  of 
extremely  high  intensity  for  all 


the  instruments. 

In  the  final  analysis,  one  can 
only  understate  the  great  value  of 
having  Paul  Winter  and  David 
Darling  in  Fort  Wayne.  Their  art 
may  help  to  guide  the  course  of 
music,  and  their  classroom 
techniques  may  lead  to  greater 
interest  in  all  of  the  arts.  Paul 
Winter  and  David  Darling  truly 
deserve  the  title  artiats-in- 
residence. 


Blacks  ignored 
by  program 

To  whom  it  may 
or  may  not  concern : 

I  was  totally  appalled  at  the 
apparent  apathetic  attitude 
toward  Black  existence,  let 
alone  participation  in  the 
Bicentennial  celebration  here 
at  Elmhurst.  Spanish,  Polish, 
Irish,  German  and  French  were 
included,  but  not  Blacks.  I 
wish  to  extend  my  sincere 
apology  to  all  the  Black 
students  and  to  any  other 
ethnic  group  that  was 
blatantly  overlooked.  Be  aware 
that  I  am  not  apologizing  for 
myself,  but  for  whoever  was 
responsible  for  such  an 
outrageous  oversight.

ReSerUeS  downed     OamnoslsdefeQlCodels 


Facing  two  very  tough  teams 
last  weekend,  the  Elmhurst 
reserve  squad  was  unable  to  add  a 
victory  to  their  record.  Snider, 
now  12-2  for  the  season,  won  57- 
35,  and  the  Delphos  St.  John's 
outscored  the  Trojans  62-54. 

Friday  night  against  the 
Panthers,  Elmhurst  was  limited 
to  14  out  of  42  field  goal  attempts 
and  could  not  seem  to  break 
Snider's  tight  hold. 

Trojans  get 
plowed  under 

The  Elmhurst  girls'  basketball 
team  travels  to  Churubusco 
tomorrow  to  play  the  first  round 
of  the  Sectionals  against  the  girls' 
team  from  Columbia  City  Joint 
High  School.  Columbia  City  is 
now  undefeated. 

The  girls  lost  their  final  regular 
season  game  to  the  Wayne 
Generals  on  Thursday,  Jan.  29, 
by  a  score  of  44-29.  Senior  Carol 
Quance  was  injured  and  unable  to 
play  the  game.  The  remainder  of 
the  Trojan  squad  saw  action. 

The  Trojans  were  also  ousted 
by  the  Bruins  of  Northrop  on 
Saturday,  Jan.  24.  The  Trojans 
remained  close  for  the  first  three 
quarters,  but  fell  to  a  rowdy 
group  of  fourth  quarter  Bruins. 

High  scorer  in  the  Bruin  game 
was  junior  Kelly  Auer  with  11 
pomts.  Kellie  Slate  and  Ethel 
Fowlkes  had  ten  and  nine, 
respectively. 

Coaches  Lucy  Doswell  and  Kim 
Schmidt  are  hoping  to  see  a  more 
aggressive  Trojan  ball  club 
tomorrow.  One  team  member 
explained,  "Chances  are  that 
Columbia  City  will  be 
overconfident.  If  we  can  come  out 
playing  mean  and  aggressive  and 
make  it  last  for  four  quarters,  I 
think  we  have  a  good  chance  of 
winning." 

The  game  begins  tomorrow 
evening  at  approximately  7:30. 


Rob  Meyers  took  rebounding 
honors  and,  along  with  Dan 
Henderson,  led  the  team  in 
scoring. 

Saturday  night  was  somewhat 
brighter  for  the  Trojans  as  they 
battled  the  Blue  Jays  of  Delphos 
St.  John's  in  Ohio. 

Trailing  at  the  half  37-20, 
Elmhurst  opened  the  third 
quarter  with  three  consecutive 
baskets.  The  Blue  Jays  remained 
ahead,  however,  and  the  game 
ended  62-54. 

Ricky  Hamilton,  playing  for 
only  two  quarters,  led  in 
individual  scoring  with  19  points, 
and  Melvin  Cobb  was  second  with 
12. 

Culpepper  and  Henderson  were 
high  with  11  rebounds  each,  and 
Hamilton  was  close  behind  with 
10. 


Every  year  in  the  United  States  and  throughout  the  world,  the  sport 
of  gymnastics  grows  larger  and  larger,  and  during  the  past  three  years  it 
has  become  a  major  event  in  the  girls'  athletic  program  at  EUnhurst. 

Gymnastics  competition  is  divided  into  three  main  levels  —  beginning, 
intermediate,  and  optional  with  each  girl  working  at  the  level  of  her  own 
ability.  There  are  also  four  areas  the  girls  can  compete  in  —  floor 
exercise,  vault,  uneven  parallel  bars,  and  the  balance  beam. 

In  their  first  meet  of  the  season        Katy       Young       and        Lori 


against  Wayne,  the  beginning 
squad  was  edged  out  by  the 
Generals  63.05  -  65.55,  while  the 
intermediates  fell  46.95  -  49.05 
and  the  optional  13.7  -  70.70. 
Winners  in  the  beginning  division 
were  Becky  Cummings,  second  in 
the  unevens  and  beam;  Terry 
Whittenberger,  first  in  unevens; 
Darla  Taper,  third  in  unevens; 
Kari  Rietdorf,  third  on  the 
balance  beam. 

At  the  intermediate  level, 
Jeanine  Russell  took  first  place  jn 
vault,  second  in  floor  exercise, 
and  third  on  the  balance  beam. 


McCleneghen  tied  for  a  /second 
place  in  the  unevens  while  Cindy 
Kratzert  got  a  second  place 
ribbon  for  vaulting  and  Sheril 
Hornberger  a  first  for  the  balance 
beam. 

Elmhurst's  only  optional 
competitor  at  this  time,  Linda 
Smyser,  placed  third  in  vaulting. 

Coach  Marty  Burns 

commented,  "I  was  very,  very 
pleased  with  the  team's 
performance." 

The  next  night  Elmhurst  met 
Concordia  and  brought  home  its 
first  victory.  In  the  beginning 
competition,  Becky  Cununings 
placed  first  in  vaulting  and 
unevens  and  third  in  floor 
exercise,  while  Terry 

Whittenberger  took  third  place  in 
vaulting  and  second  in  unevens. 
Kari  Rietdorf  won  the  beam 
competition  and  took  a  red  ribbon 
for  floor  exercise,  and  Pam  Reicke 
captured  third  place  in  beam  and 
first  place  in  floor. 

Since  Concordia  has  no 
intermediate  squad,  Elmhurst 
won  all  the  ribbons  in  this 
division.

Trojans  drop  last  two 


Elmhurst  exhibited  many  of 
the  problems  that  have  plagued 
them  all  year  last  weekend  as  the 
Trojans  dropped  a  pair  of 
frustrating  basketball  games  on 
the  road.  Things  never  seemed  to 


fall  into  place,  including  the  bas- 
ketball at  Snider  Friday  night. 
Elmhurst  struggled  and  fought 
all  night  only  to  let  it  sUde  away 
in  the  final  minutes,  68-66.  The 
next  night,  Elmhurst  squared  off 
against  Delphos  St.  John  in  Ohio, 
but  couldn't  overpower  the  highly 
ranked  Blue  Jays,  succumbing 
71-67. 
Elmhurst  cold  at  freethrow  line 

Against  the  Panthers, 
Elmhurst  had  trouble  finding  the 
handle  on  the  ball  and  at  tiroes. 
Snider  and  Elmhurst  took  turns 
giving  the  ball  to  each  other. 
The  Trojans  stayed  close 
throughout  the  contest,  and  while 
Elmhurst  was  cold  at  the 
freethrow  line,  hitting  12  of  25, 
Snider  was  worse  canning  only  8 
of  21. 

Going  into  the  last  stanza, 
Elmhurst  trailed  51-43,  as  Coach 
Kenny  Eytcheson  substituted 
freely  in  an  attempt  to  find  the 
right   combination.    Finally,    the 


JUNIOR  ERNIE  STAEKS  CRABS 
a  rebound  in  a  crowd  of  Snider  players 
as  senior  Raymond  Walker  looks  on. 


Trojans  showed  some  spark  and 
pulled  ahead  65-62  with  1:39  left. 
However,  turnovers  again 
became  the  rule,  and  Snider 
cashed  in  for  the  winning  free 
throws  with  eight  seconds  left. 

Junior  Ernie  Starks  paced  the 
Trojans  with  18  points  while 
junior  Mike  Brewer  and  senior 
Fred  Underwood  added  12  each. 

Blue  Jays  retaliate  against 
Trojan  rally 

Against  powerful  Delphos, 
Elmhurst  fell  behind  early  but 
rallied  from  an  11-point  deficit  in 
the  third  period  trailing  only  54- 
51.  The  Blue  Jays  retaliated  with 
another  strong  spml  leading  62- 
55,  and  the  Trojans  couldn't 
recover.  Ernie  Starks  again  led  all 
Elmhurst  scorers  with  28,  while 
sophomore  Tim  Green  had  14. 

The  week  before,  Elmhurst 
outlasted  Homestead  56-41  at 
home,  RajTuond  Walker  and 
Mike  Brewer  tallied  17  points 
apiece.  Next  weekend  the  Trojans 
have  two  away  games,  at  North 
Side  and  Huntington.

The  Elmhurst  matmen  were 
victorious  last  Tuesday  and 
Thursday  with  wins  over 
Homestead  and  Snider.  The  week 
before,  the  Trojans  were  defeated 
by  North  Side  in  a  close  match, 
and  were  also  downed  by 
Harding,  the  SAC  wrestling 
leader. 

The  Trojans  were  too  powerful 
for  the  Spartans  as  they  threw 
their  opponents  all  over  the  mat 
for  a  35-20  victory.  Winning  by 
pins  were  seniors  Paul  Freeman 
and  Mike  Freygang  along  with 
junior  Mike  Rush  and  sophomore 
Stu  Norton.  Winning  with 
decisions  were  juniors  Ken 
Young,  Tom  Smith,  and  Paul 
Meredith,  while  two  sophomores 
got  in  on  the  action  with  Steve 
Esterson  and  Matt  Branning 
defeating  their  opponents  17-6 
and  6-2  respectively. 

Trojans  tame  Panthers 

Two  nights  later  Snider  proved 
to  be  too  little  competition  for 
Elmhurst  as  the  Trojans  wrestled 
to  a  smashing  40-26  win  over  the 
Panthers.  Giving  the  Trojans 
their  40  points  this  time  were 
Mike  Freygang.  Jim  Almond, 
Matt  Branning,  and  Paul 
Meredith,  who  all  won  by  pins, 
and  decision-takers  Paul 
Freeman,  Ken  Young.  Mike  Rush,, 
and    Stu    Norton.     Senior    BUI 


Munroe  tied  his  opponent  5-5. 

The  matmen's  record  now 
stands  at  6  wins  and  6  losses 
overall  and  3-4  in  SAC  action. 
Even  though  this  year  was  an 
improvement  over  last  season, 
the  Trojans  did  not  contain 
enough  depth  on  the  team.  The 
lower  weight  classes  are  mostly 
all  sophomores,  which  is  good 
because  the  Trojans  ought  to 
have  even  a  better  season  next 
year  with  more  experienced 
wrestlers. 

Junior  Mike  Rush  is  the  only 
man  for  the  Trojans  who  hasn't 
yet  been  defeated.  Mike,  whose 
spectacular  record  this  year  is  15 
wins  and  zip  losses,  was  not  seen 
in  action  for  a  couple  of  matches 
due  to  an  injury  he  received 
during  a  match.  It  only  took  Mike 
a  couple  of  days  to  recover  as  he 
was  back  on  the  mat  to  boost  his 
15-0  record  a  little  higher. 

Sectionals  get  under  way 
Thursday,  Feb.  5,  and  the  final 
day  will  be  Saturday,  Feb.  7.  The 
Trojans  look  strong  and  ready  to 
blow  their  opponents  right  off  the 
mat.  Mike  Rush  commented  on 
the  team's  status,  "We  will  be 
ready  for  sectionals."  He  added, 
"I  think  a  pep  session  would  help 
the  team  a  lot."

Dear  Reader, 

Gone  are  Moose,  Pork,  and 
Turd,  but  back  to  take  their 
place  are  Moon,  Stinky,  and 
Murph  the  Surf.  Translated, 
that  means  Steve  Mueller 
(Moose).  Dave  Campbell. 
(Pork),  and  Lynn  Brown 
{Turd)  have  left  Elmhurst 
along  with  their  colorful 
nicknames  but  taking  their 
place  are  Stan  Prince  (Moon). 
Kevin  Stephenson  (Stinky), 
and  Gordon  Murphy  (Murph 
the  Surf)  with  their  most 
interesting  nicknames. 

During  my  investigation  of 
nicknames,  I  have  found  that 
there  are  three  ways  of  getting 
a  nickname.  The  first  and 
perhaps  funniest  way  is  by 
something  a  person  does.  Stan 
Prince  was  a  fine  example  of 
this  one  day  last  spring.  Stan 
and  a  few  of  the  guys  on  the 
baseball  team  were  coming 
back  from  a  game  out  at 
Woodlan  when  things 
apparently  got  a  little  hot  for 
Stan  who  was  sitting  in  the 
back  seat.  Since  that  day  Stan 
has  come  to  be  known  as  "the 
Moon"  Prince.  If  you  get  a 
chance  this  spring  when 
baseball  season  rolls  around, 
ask  assistant  baseball  coach 
John  Campbell,  who  was 
foUowing  the  car  that  Stan  was 
in,     for     a     play     by     play 


description  of  what  happened 
that  afternoon.  I'm  sure  you'll 
die  laughing.  I  did! 

The  second  way  to  get  a 
nickname  is  by  the  way  you 
happen  to  look  or  act.  Those 
that  can  be  sometimes  heard 
around  the  halls  here  at  school 
are  Gmmp  (Tim  Green),  Magic 
Man  (Ray  Walker),  Super 
Brewer  (Mike  Brewer),  Abe 
(Ernie  Starks),  Buck  (Melvin 
Cobb).  Bull  (Mike  Rush), 
Stump  (Domingo  Garcia),  Bird 
Legs  (Bob  Kratzert),  Senator 
(Phil  Gutman),  Little  One  (Jan 
Dowling),  and  Gunner 
(MarilynnScherer). 

The  final  way  is  getting  a 
nickname  for  no  reason  at  all. 
The  following  are  some  of  the 
more  amusing  —  Bruiser  (Fred 
Underwood),  Geech  (Ron 
Whitson),  Doc  (Johnny 
White),  Dandy  Dan  Deroo 
(Dan  Landrigan),  CuUdraggers 
(Don  and  Ron  Culpepper), 
Shazam  (Dave  Chrzan), 
DeGroinchump  (Mark  De 
GrandchampI,  Charbo  (Bill 
McCombs),  and  the  only 
nickname  I  have  given 
anybody.  Smite  (Terry  Smith). 
I  hope  you  have  enjoyed 
reading  this  article  as  much  as 
I  have  enjoyed  writing  it. 
Signed, 

Pinky

If  you  were  to  vote  on  the 
"Most  Disgusting  Person 
Award,"  who  do  you  suppose 
would  be  the  likely  winner? 
Several  votes  would  probably 
be  awarded  to  ex-President 
Richard  Nixon  .  ,  .  and  there 
might  be  a  few  votes  here  and 
there  for  ex-Vice-President 
Spiro  Agnew  .  .  .  but  one 
person  that  would  probably 
receive  quite  a  few  votes  would 

be  the  Howard 

Cosell. 

On  a  recent  Monday  Night 
Football  telecast  at  the  home 
stadium  of  the  Denver 
Broncos,  a  large  sign  was 
posted  for  television  viewers 
reading,  "The  Mile  High 
Stadium  welcomes  the  Mile 
Wide  Mouth  —  Howard 
Cosell." 

Cosell  —  an  almost  comedian 

Whoever  created  the  sign 
ha'd  it  right.  Howard  Cosell  has 
the  knack  of  taking  a  normal, 
well-played,  professional 
football  game  and  turning  it 
into  a  Monday  night  profile  of 
each  and  every  player. 

Cosell  seems  to  have  an 
"interesting  story"  about  each 
player's  personal  life.  He  even 
tries  to  persuade  television 
viewers  that  the  information 
comes  off  the  top  of  his  head. 

Now  teaming  up  with  Alex 
Karras,  after  seemingly 
driving  "Dandy"  Don 
Meredith    out    of    his    mind, 


1  almost 
comedian,  delivering  such  lines 
as  "Your  grandmother  could 
have  run  through  that  block. " 

Ex-professional  linebacker 
Karras  always  comes  back 
with  a  cute  line  regarding  the 
whereabouts  of  his 

grandmother,   and  the  play 
goes  on  . . .  almost  unnoticed. 
Gimmick  attracts  fans 

Frank  Gifford  serves  as  the 
resident  straight-liner.  His  new 
job,  to  go  along  with 
sometimes  sportscasting,  is 
reading  the  plugs  for  Cosell 's 
new  show  "Saturday  Night 
Live  With  Howard  Cosell." 
Cosell  silenced  by  Casals 

Remember  the  Battle  of  the 
Sexes  when  Billie  Jean  King 
pounded  Bobby  Riggs  in  two 
sets  of  tennis?  Howard  Cosell 
was  in  the  press  box, 
somewhere  in  between  the 
slanderous  sentences  delivered 
by  tennis  pro  Rosemary 
Casals.  If  you  don't  remember 
Cosell's  voice  in  that  particular 
broadcast,  it  only  proves  that 
he  can  be  quieted  —  provided 
you  just  get  someone  with  a 
bigger  mouth.  Casals  was,  in 
that  case,  the  person. 

So,  if  you  have  $1.95  lying 
around  the  house  doing 
nothing,  go  on  out  and  buy  the 
paperback  Cosell  by  Howard 
Cosell.  I'm  sure  that  it  will 
only  go  to  prove  that  there's 
nothing  to  be  said  about 
Howard  Cosell  that  he  hasn't 
already  said  himself.

Black  History  Week,  sponsored  by  Elmhurst's  Afro-American 
Club,  was  conducted  last  week  here  at  Elmhurst.  Activities  to 
acquaint  the  student  body  with  the  Negro  heritage  were  presented 
throughout  the  week. 

Monday,  the  first  day  of  the  week's  activities,  was  Career  Day.  Forty 
people  from  the  community  visited  classrooms  to  speak  on  their  various 
professions. 

The  evening  of  Wednesday,  Feb.  11,  a  play,  "A  Raisin  in  the 
Sun,"  was  performed  in  the  round  in  the  EHS  cafeteria.  Under  the 
direction  of  Mr.  Robert  Stookey  and  Miss  Jennifer  Manth,  the  cast 
included  Angle  Hayden,  Fred  DeBruce,  Troi  Lee,  Carmetta  V/alker, 
Claudia  Brock,  Kenny  Young,  Larry  Daugherty,  Terry  Newsome, 
Ronald  Hill,  and  Derrick  DeBruce.  Following  the  performance,  gifts 
were  presented  by  the  cast  to  the  two 'directors. 

A  tribute  to  black  jazz  musicians  concluded  the  week"s  activities 
on  Thursday,  Feb.  12.  The  Elmhurst  Jazz  Band,  directed  by  Mr. 
Randy  Brugh,  played  for  a  school-wide  convocation.  An  attentive 
audience  heard  musical  arrangements  by  Thad  Jones,  Bill  Holman, 
Bill  Cowbng,  and  Alan  Downey  featuring  the  sax  section  playing 
solos.

Council  stagnates, 

more  on  Bicentennial  program 


To  the  editor: 

What  is  our  student  council  doing?  It  seems 
that  they're  around  just  to  take  up  space. 
Since  they  were  first  elected  they  have  done 
nothing  for  us.  Campaign  promises  w^re 
forgotten,  and  all  that  is  accompUshed  at 
council  meetings  is  a  lot  of  arguing. 

The  students'  votes  put  them  into  office  to 
work  for  the  school  and  students.  What  is  it 
going  to  take  to  get  them  going?  If  they  can't 
come  up  with  something  to  do,  they  should 
find  out  what  the  students  want.  Maybe  there 
could  be  an  open  session  where  the  students 
and  the  student  council  can  throw  ideas  back 
and  forth.  We  are  all  tired  of  hearing 
announcements  for  student  council  meetings 
and  then  knowing  that  they  accomplished 
nothing.  What  are  they  doing  at  those 
meetings,  having  a  social  hour?  What  good  is  it 
to  elect  officers  when  they  do  nothing  for  the 
students  in  return? 

The  only  way  for  Elmhurst  to  improve  its 
standards  is  for  the  student  council  to  get 


themselves  in  gear  and  do  something  for  the 
students.

To  the  editor: 

In  "Blacks  ignored  by  program,"  an  article 
that  appeared  in  the  Elmhurst  ADVANCE, 
Waymon  Brown  must  have  been  slightly 
misled.  In  the  Feb.  4  issue,  Mr.  Brown  felt  that 
the  Blacks  suffered  a  grave  injustice  when 
they  were  "blatantly  overlooked." 

If  he  was  a  Uttle  more  aware  of  what  was 
going  on  around  the  school,  maybe  he  would 
reaUze  that  no  plans  had  been  made  to  include 
the  Blacks.  I  agree  that  here  there  is  an 
injustice.  As  for  Mr.  Brown,  he  certainly 
should  have  known  what  was  planned  for  the 
Bicentennial  Program,  as  many  students  did. 

I  am  referring  to  several  written  articles  that 
had  the  program  listed.  First  of  all,  in  the  Jan. 
26    issue    of    the    ADVANCE,    there   was    a 


rundown  of  the  program.  It's  possible  that  Mr. 
Brown  could  have  missed  this  article^but  then 
there  was  also  the  PTA  bulletin  that  had  the 
program  listed.  Certainly,  if  Mr.  Brown  was  all 
that  concerned  about  the  program  he  could 
have  considered  looking  into  it,  maybe  even 
help  organize  it. 

Mr.  Brown  complained  that  the  Spanish, 
Polish,  Irish,  German,  and  French  were 
included,  but  not  Blacks.  Breaking  this  down 
we  find  five  nationalities  being  represented, 
this  being  in  the  form  of^when  the  massive 
immigrations  took  place  and  why.  What  Mr. 
Brown  wants  is  a  whole  race  to  be  represented 
with  nothing  wrong  with  that.  However,  since 
the  rest  of  the  program  was  individual 
countries,  their  own  accomplishments^  and 
their  gifts  to  our  American  heritage,  we 
suggest  Mr.  Brown  look  into  a  predominately 
black  country  and  its  accomplishments  to  the 
United  States.  I'm  sure  that  all  Elmhurst 
students  would  be  more  than  willing  to  Usten.

I  1  Joni  Mitchell's  new  album,  The  Hissing 
...  of  Summer  Lawns  is  a  wonder.  For  Mitchell, 
4J  it  represents  her  first  concept  album  and  by 
(fi  far  her  most  developed  work,  but  moreover, 
J^  for  rock,  it  represents  a  near  first  in  the

The  theater  and  physical  education 
departments  will  not  be  the  only  ones  to 
benefit  from  the  construction  project  soon  to 
begin    at    Elmhurst. 

By  taking  some  space  from  the  study  hall 
and  the  small  audio-visual  area  which  now 
exists  in  the  library,  the  media  center  will  be 
jg  able  to  provide  new  services  to  Elmhurst 
5  students.  In  the  additional  area,  wet  carrels 
p^  are  to  be  installed,  which  are  individual  units 
g  much  like  those  in  the  language  lab,  enabling 
"X.  students  to  see  slides  and  filmstrips  and  to 
listen  to  and  do  their  own  recording. 

Carpeting,  informality  invite  visitors 

Although  nothing  has  really  been  made 
final.  Mrs.  Mildred  Hibben,  head  librarian, 
expects  the  new  L-shaped  media  center  to  be 
fully   carpeted   and   more   informal   in   style 

Mrs.  Hibben  concedes,  "Even  though  we're 
not  going  to  have  as  much  space  as  we  wanted, 
we  will  be  in  better  shape  as  to  what  we  can 
offer."  She  is  referring  to  the  new  equipment  to 
be  bought  for  the  center.  Besides  the  wet 
carrels,  T.V.  and  radio  broadcasting 
equipment  will  be  added  services.  There  will  be 
facilities  to  make  transparencies  and  more 
projectors,  recorders,  and  other  machines  now 
existing  only  in  limited  supply.  Conference 
rooms  are  in  the  plans  as  well  as  additional 
storage  space  which,  Mrs.  Hibben  states,  is 
what  the  library  really  needs. 
Power  mechanics,  electricity  new 

Three  new  rooms  will  be  included  in  the 
refurbished  industrial  arts  department.  Areas 
for  planning,  casting  metals,  drafting,  storage, 
staff  offices,  power  mechanics  work,  and 
electricity  work  are  to  be  added.  The  power 
mechanics  and  electricity  room  will  open  up  a 
whole  new  field  of  study  for  Elmhurst 
students.  Their  walls  will  be  sound-proofed 
and  wood  floors  will  be  laid.  Mr.  Richard 
Rian,  the  department  head,  observes 
"What  we  have  now  is  too  small  for  the 
classes.  We  have  more  kids,  a  smaller  shop  and 
more  equipment  than  Wayne  or  Northrop. 
Although  this  has  been  a  safe  year  so  far,  the 
existing  situation  does  make  a  safety  hazard 
and  doesn't  give  as  good  an  atmosphere  for 
learning  as  the  new  area  will." 

EUirth  science  lab  coming 

By  getting  some  walls  torn  down,  the 
science  department  will  gain  an  earth  science 
lab.  The  new  room  will  have  gas,  electricity, 
and  water  and  will  be  useful  to  chemistry  and 
physics  students  as  well  as  to  earth  science 
students.  A  demonstration  table,  display  cases 
for  minerals  and  rocks,  and  32  lab  stations  will 
be  available  there.  There  will  also  be  access  to  a 
needed  storage  room. 

'The  little  room  we're  now  crammed  into 
will  become  a  lecture  room,"  says  Mr.  Jim 
Welbom  of  the  science  department.  "Class 
presentation  will  be  more  lab  oriented  . . .  what 
they  call  the  'hands  on'  approach.  I'm 
enthused  about  it." 


by  Verne  Myers 

In  the  fall  of  1977,  Elmhurst  students  will 
no  longei-  need  be  envious  of  other  high 
schools  or  the  students  in  them.  If  plans 
follow  through,  Elmhurst  will  achieve  equal 
status  with  any  high  school  in  Fort  Wayne, 
as  students  wUl  be  greeted  with  extensive 
new  facilities  amounting  to  a  total  cost  of 
about  2.2  million  dollars. 

With  the  plans  basically  complete  and 
approval  for  construction  just  given  by  the 
School  Board,  the  first  shovel  should  be 
turned  sometime  this  spring  or  early 
sunmier.  This  will  take  place  after  bids  by 
various  construction  companies  are  received 
and  considered.  The  main  construction  will 
take  place  on  the  west  side  of  the  building 
where  the  "parking  lot"  is  now  located. 

School  Board  says  "Go" 

Where  is  this  phenomenal  sum  of  money 
coming  from?  Basically  from  parents'  tax 
money,  part  of  which  is  held  in  a  cumulative 
building  fund  for  pubHc  school  use. 
Approval  by  the  school  board  is  mandatory 
before  the  funds  can  be  used.  Dr.  Lavon  E. 
Miller,  director  of  buUding  and  grounds, 
supervises  the  particulars. 

The  actual  design  of  the  blueprint  was 
handled  by  architect  John  W.  Dickerson  of 
Strauss  Associates.  How  long  Elmhurst  has 
needed  these  improvements    is  a  matter  of 


debate,  but  now,  much  needed  physical 
education,  auditorium,  industrial  arts, 
science,  and  library  facilities  are  planned. 

First  plans  include  a  revamping  of  the 
industrial  arts  area  where  walls  will  be 
moved,  rooms  added,  and  meted  and  wood 
shops  modernized.  A  finishing  and  drying 
room  will  be  added,  and  a  separate 
industrial  arts  office  will  be  provided.  A 
special  engine  testing  room  is  planned  in 
addition  to  a  drafting  and  power  mechanics 
lab. 

More  room  for  gals 

Perhaps  the  largest  wing  is  the  physical 
education  area.  An  auxiliary  gymnasium 
with  seating  for  800  will  alleviate  crowded 
gym  classes  and  provide  sorely  needed 
practice  space.  Varsity  girls'  basketball  will 
make  use  of  this  gym  and  the  varsity  girls' 
shower  and  locker  room.  A  multi-use  area 
will  be  adjacent  to  it,  designed  for  various 
uses  including  girls'  gymnastics  or  even 
dancing,  for  which  mirrors  are  provided. 


A  therapy  room  is  included  to  care  for  any 

needs  that  athletes  may  encounter.  Much 
storage  space  will  be  available,  and 
additional  showers  and  lockers  for  gym 
classes  have  been  worked  in.

Theater  provides 
newopportunities[ 


s 


Urvi      &     AUOITORIUM 


"When  Northrop  and  Wayne  got  their 
new  theaters,  their  theater  classes 
jumped  in  size.  This  indicates  that 
students  Uke  to  perform  and  if  the 
opportunity  is  provided,  there  will  be 
people  ready  to  participate,"  commented 
Mr,  Don  Goss  regarding  the  new 
auditorium  which  will  be  built  when 
construction  begins  on  Elmhurst. 

Mr.  Goss  is  the  head  of  the  art  and 
theater  departments  and,  as  he  says,  "I 
don't  know  whether  to  be  excited  or  not, 
I've  been  waiting  for  this  for  so  long.  The 
big  improvement  will  be  that  we  won't  be 
performing  in  the  gym."  Acoustically,  an 
auditorium  will  be  an  advantage.  An 
orchestra  pit  will  be  built  so  that  live 
music  can  be  provided  without  blocking 
performers  or  drowning  out  their  voices. 
Padded  seats  and  air-conditioning  will 
make  performances  more  enjoyable  for 
the  audience. 

Plans  include  extra  storage 

New  light  and  sound  boards  will  be 
installed  in  the  back  of  the  house,  which 
will  make  proper  audio  and  visual 
adjustments  much  easier  than  with  the 
present  controls  which  are  now  behind 
stage,  where  technicians  cannot  see  the 
performers,  A  fly  loft  will  allow  curtains, 
scene  changes,  and  lighting  to  drop  from 
the  ceiling. 

An  important  improvement  will  be  the 
added  space.  There  will  be  room  for  the 
storage  of  more  props,  building 
equipment,  and  costumes.  Behind  the 
stage/  a  scene  shop  wiU  be  built  where 
building  and  painting  can  be  done. 
Increases  in  onstage  space  will  amount  to 
about  eight  feet  in  width  and  five  feet  in 
depth.  An  additional  20-25  feet  will  exist 
on  either  side,  offstage. 

So  long,  senior  door 

Entrances  to  the  new  construction  will 
be  by  way  of  what  are  now  the  senior  and 
band  room  doors,  Nearbyj  a  drama 
classroom  will  accommodate  about  sixty 
people  for  rehearsals,  small  audiences, 
dressing  facilities^  and  of  couraet  classes. 


The  room  will  have  a  small  stage,  and  is 
planned  mostly  for  the  use  of  the  English 
department. 

Mr.  Goss  is  looking  forward  to  the  new 
building  as  a  means  of  opening  up  classes    : 
for  theater-minded  people.  He  says  that  it 
is  time  to  realize  that  people  with  an 
artistic  sensitivity  have  a  right  to  pursue 
their  interests  in  an  academic  situation,    I 
instead    of   just    as    an    extracurricular    , 
activity.  He  hopes  many  other  groups 
will  make  use  of  the  auditorium  in  the 
areas  of  music,  speech,  guest  speakers, 
and  outside  organizations. 

The  theater  will  hold  about  600 
spectators  which  is  approximately  half 
the  student  body.  This  means  that  the 
whole  school  will  not  be  able  to  assemble 
there  at  once,  but  Mr.  Goss  doesn't  mind 
at  all.  Although  two  presentations  will  be 
necessary,  he  feels  the  situation  will 
insure  that  everyone  will  be  able  to 
comfortably  hear  and  see  what  happens 
on  stage. 

Elmhurst  matches  other  schools 

The  other  Fort  Wayne  Community 
High  Schools  ahready  have  auditoriums. 
Plans  for  the  construction  of  Elmhurst's 
are  expected  to  equalize  the  schools  in  the 
facilities  offered.  The  new  theater  will  not 
be  a  duplicate  of  those  at  other  schools;  in 
fact,  Elmhurst  will  be  the  first  to  have  an 
orchestra  pit,  but  the  opportunities 
afforded  by  the  facilities  should  now  be 
the  same. 

The  concept  of  an  Elmhurst  auditorium 
began  in  1965,  but  those  plans  were 
scrapped  and  are  completely  different 
from  the  ones  adopted  by  the  school 
board  last  week.  Eleven  years  ago  it  was 
proposed  that  the  building  be  erected  off 
the  office  area  and  now  it  will  be  near  the 
English  department.  Mr.  Goss  states 
that  this  makes  a  little  more  sense. 

Pleased  that  the  changes  are  finally  to 
come  about,  Mr.  Goss  says,  "We've  never 
really  done  anything  for  the  arts  in  terms 
of  making  new  improvements,  but 
they've  been  talking  about  it  a  long  time, 
and  I've  been  waiting  for  twenty  years."

-hockey- 

The  Elmhurst  hockey  team 
blasted  away  Colimibia  City  14-1 
and  also  checked  Homestead  to  a 
7-0  defeat  over  the  last  two 
weekends. 

Columbia  City  was  downed  by 
the  Trojans  with  the  strong 
efforts  of  Greg  Ryder  and  Bob 
Woodruff  who  each  slapped  the 
puck  through  the  net  six  times. 
Andy  Norton  and  Stan  Prince 
also  contributed  to  the  team's  win 
by  scoring  one  goal  each. 

One  week  later  on  Feb.  6,  the 
Trojan  skaters  defeated  the 
Homestead  Spartans.  This  time 
Elmhurst  was  led  in  scoring  by 
senior  Jeff  Heller.  Jeff  was  able  to 
get  the  puck  in  the  goal  four 
times. 

The  Trojans  are  leading  their 
division  with  a  record  of  6-2-2. 


Track  season  begins 


by  Rick  Knuth 

Competing  with  nine  other 
SAC  schools,  the  Elmhurst 
trackmen  traveled  to  Tri-State 
University  in  Angola  for  an 
indoor  track  meet  on  Feb.  7. 

Track  team  lacks  depth 

Tim  Lee  led  the  way  for  the 
Trojans  establishing  a  new 
Hershey  Field  House  record  in 
the  960-yard  run.  He  ran  a  fine 
time  of  2:23.4  in  his  first  meet  of 
the  season.  Other  tracksters 
placing  high  for  Elmhurst  were 
Dave  Lewis,  second  in  the  1800- 
yard  run  and  third  in  the  960-yaid 
run;  and  John  Stiffler,  Denny 
Kirkland,  and  Jeff  Heller,  second, 
third^and  fifth  respectively  in  the 
pole  vault. 

When  asked  about  the  first 
meet  of  the  season,  Coach  Don 


Kemp  stated,  "The  performances 
at  Tri-State  were  an  indication  of 
a  strong  nucleus.  We  proved  to  be 
strong  in  the  pole  vault  and 
distance  runs,  but  our  main 
weakness  all  season  will  be  depth. 
Many  of  the  guys  out  for  the  team 
didn't  run  at  Tri-State  and  this 
also  hurt." 

Indoor  meets  beneficial  to 
runners 

The  indoor  track  meets  are  also 
commonly  called  conditioning 
meets.  They  give  the  runners  a 
chance  to  compete  and  get  into 
better    shape    for    the    outdoor

teams  use  its  indoor  track 
facilities  to  have  an  indoor  track 
program.  The  track  is  a  120-yard

With  the  rising  of  the  temperature 
here  in  the  middle  of  February  also 
comes  the  rising  of  high  school 
basketball  spirit.  This  spirit  is  called 
"Hoosier  Hysteria. ' '  It  is  a 
gymnasium  filled  with  screaming, 
yelling  fans  waiting  for  that  final 
moment  when  the  buzzer  goes  off  with 
one  team  walking  away  the  victor  and 
as  always,  the  other  team  trudging 
away  the  loser. 

Many  of  you  will  remember  last  year 
to  the  Homestead  game  when  a  last 
second  desperation  shot  sank 
Elmhurst's  hopes  for  a  sectional 
crown.  Last  year's  team  may  have 
been  the  best  basketball  team  in 
Elmhurst  history.  It  sported  a  very 
fine  17-4  record,  an  SAC 
championship  and  city  scoring 
champion  Ray  Reese.  It  was  a  fine 
season  until  Sectionals.  This  year's 
team  seems  to  be  going  in  reverse 
order.  A  very  drab  and  unexciting  7-9 
record  at  press  time,  no  SAC 
championship,  and  no  scoring  champ. 
What  does  it  all  add  up  to?  Many 
things.  If  you  would  like  to  be 
superstitious,  you  might  say  that  the 
sequence  of  events  is  leading  up  to  a 
Sectional  crown.  But  if  you  are  a 
practical  person,  you  would  say  that 
these  things  reinforce  Elmhurst's 
impossible  chances  of  winning 
Sectionals.  Let's  face  it,  there  are  just 
too  many  so  called  "mental  lapses"  out 
there  on  the  court. 

The  Sectional  Tourney  begins  March 
1,  and  I  would  have  to  pick  North  Side, 
Northrop,  Wayne,  and  South  Side  as 
the  top  four  teams  to  beat. 

North  Side's  tough  schedule  always 


readies  them  for  tourney  time  at  the 
end  of  the  year.  They  play  very  few 
patsies  during  the  season.  They  by  far 
have  the  toughest  schedule  in  the  city, 
and  it  shows.  Coach  By  Hey  is 
probably  the  finest  coach  in  this  area. 
His  team  has  been  in  the  top  twenty 
for  most  of  this  basketball  season. 
They  are  a  solid,  well-coached  team 
with  much  scoring  punch.  I  believe 
that  they  have  a  very  good  chance  of 
going  to  state  and  an  outside  chance  of 
winning  the  title. 

Northrop  has  to  be  the  surprise  of 
the  year.  When  the  season  started,  aU 
they  appeared  to  be  was  big  and 
clumsy.  As  the  season  progressed  so 
did  Northrop,  notching  up  victories 
against  North  Side  in  the  Holiday 
Tourney  and  just  last  Wednesday 
night  against  Wayne.  Both  teams  are 
considered  state  power  houses. 

Wayne,  once  ranked  in  the  top  ten, 
has  slid  down  the  top  twenty  and  past 
honorable  mention  as  the  season  has 
advanced  into  its  latter  phase.  Wayne 
seemed  to  have  peaked  in  the  HoUday 
Tourney  with  its  narrow  victory  over 
Northrop  and  ever  since  has  been 
coasting  the  rest  of  the  way.  I  believe 
they  may  loom  as  the  dark  horse  in  the 
city. 

South  Side  in  the  last  few  years  has 
been  a  slow  starter,  but  they  have 
always  finished  strong  come  Sectional 
time.  Their  main  scoring  punch  comes 
from  senior  guard  Peter  Irwin  and 
junior  Tim  Jensen.  Depending  on  the 
Sectional  draw.  South  could  come  out 
of  the  Sectionals  a  victor. 

The  time  is  drawing  nearer  when  we 
will  see  who  is  "King  of  the  Hill"  for 
real.

Reserves  devostated 

Two  weeks  ago,  Elmhurst's  reserve  squad  faced  North 
Side  and  Huntington,  both  on  the  road.  Friday,  against  the 
Redskins,  the  Trojans  fell  71-35,  and  the  Vikings  ran  ahead 
to  a  52-31  final  the  following  night. 

Sophomore  Mike  Starks  led  the  team  in  scoring  against 
North  Side  with  10,  and  Rick  Hamilton  also  had  10  at 
Huntington. 

Reserves  restricted  to  few  field  goals 

Last  week's  action  was  at  home  as  the  Wayne  Generals 
held  the  reserves  to  a  56-37  outcome. 

During  first  quarter  play,  the  Trojans  were  prevented 
from  scoring  and  could  not  seem  to  recover.  The  Generals 
maintained  a  substantial  lead  throughout  the  game,  thus 
forcing  another  defeat  on  the  Elmhurst  team. 

On  the  list  of  high  scorers  for  the  night,  sophomore 
Melvin  Cobb  placed  second  with  17.

Sophomores 
carry  team 

by  Marilynn  Scherer 

The  Elmhurst-North  Side  girls' 
gymnastic  meet  held  on  Feb.  11  at 
the  Redskins'  gym  can  easily  be 
referred  to  as  Sophomore  Night  with 
the  Trojans  as  the  sophomore  class 
carried  the  load,  leading  the  Trojans 
to  a  very  respectable  showing. 
Gymnasts  place  well  in  all  divisions 

The  star  of  the  show,  though  the 
cast  included  many,  was  sophomore 
Becky  Cummings  as  she  swished 
and  swayed  her  way  to  first  place 
victories  in  beginning  vaulting, 
unevens,  and  floor  exercise. 
However,  Cummings  was  required 
to  share  the  limelight  with 
teammates  Terri  Whittenberger, 
Kari  Rietdorf,  and  Jeanine  Russell. 
Whittenberger  scored  second  and 
third  place  victories  in  beginning 
vault  and  unevens  respectively,  and 
Rietdorf's  first  in  beginning  beam 
and  second  in  floor  exercise  provided 
even  more  points  toward  the  final 
Trojan  score. 

Sophomore  Jeanine  Russell 
captured  all  of  her  awards  in  the 
intermediate  level  of  competition  as 


SENIOR  BETTY  CARRION 

ATTEMPTS  a  vault  at  the  Wayne  High 
\  School  gym. 


she  placed  second  in  vault,  third  on 
beam,  and  first  in  floor  exercise. 
Also  competing  in  the  intermediate 
level  of  competition,  juniors  Katy 
Young  and  Lori  McCleneghen 
succeeded  in  placing  second  and 
third  respectively  on  the  unevens. 
Team  improving  with  each  meet 

Senior  Betty  Carrion  also 
achieved  points  by  placing  third  in 
intermediate  vault.  The  only  other 
gymnast  to  place  was  senior  Linda 
Srayser,  the  only  participant  on  the 
optional  level.  Smyser  captured 
third  in  vault,  second  in  beam,  and 
second  in  floor  exercise  to  carry  the 
Trojans  closet  to  the  Redskins  who 


won  the  match  by  a  score  of  133.4- 
in.9 

"We  seem  to  be  improving  with 
each  meet,  but  we  still  have  a  certain 
nervousness  about  each 

competitor,"  explained  junior  Anita 
Boyer.  "The  total  performance  of 
each  person  on  the  team  simply  gets 
better  and  better  as  we  go." 

Junior  Karyn  Heiney  was 
expected  to  be  one  of  the  top 
gymnasts  in  the  city,  but  a  pre- 
season injury  temporarily  dampen- 
ed those  hopes.  With  Karyn  back  on 
the  team,  Coach  Marty  Bums  ex- 
pects the  gymnasts'  1-2  record  to 
improve. 

The  gymnastics  team's  next  meet 
will  be  at  home  against  South  Side 
on  Wednesday,  Feb.  18,  beginning 
at  6:30  p.m.

Foreign  programs  name  three 


For  juniors  Susan  Taylor  and 
Vance  Veale  and  senior  Matt 
Cary  the  summer  of  1976  is  bound 
to  be  a  lot  more  than  just  a  break 
from  school. 

Taylor  to  spend  time  in  Germany 

Susan,  who  is  completing  her 
second  year  of  German,  will  be 
spending  two  weeks  in  a  language 
camp  in  Vermont  and  then  she 
will  travel  on  to  a  small  city  in 
Germany  to  spend  six  weeks  of 
cultural  experience. 

"I  think  that.  Germany  will 
probably  make  me  more  mature," 
stated  Susan.  '  'You  know,  I  '11 
have  to  make  decisions  on  my 
own..." 

Susan  is  sponsored  by  the  EIL 
(Experiment  in  International 
Living!  Ambassador  Program. 
The  program  represents  the 
community.  Four  ambassadors 
and  two  alternates  were  selected 
from  23  applicants. 

Susan  will  not  only  receive  the 
cultural  experience  but  will  also 
receive  a  $750  scholarship  to  as- 
sist in  her  German  program. 

Students  judged 
on  many  qualities 

The  ambassadors  and  the 
alternates  were  judged  on 
schnlarsh'n^  hfalth.  foreign 
language.  .  ability,  interests, 
travel  experiences,  references, 
speech,  ambassador  qualities, 
application  letter,  and  interviews. 

"1  think  I  have  a  lot  to  gain  by 
visiting  Germany."  commented 
Susan,  "I  think  I'll  be  more  sure 


of  myself  and  probably  appreciate 
America  more." 

However,  Susan  is  not  the  only 
Trojan  to  represent  Elmhurst  in 
foreign  countries.  Vance  Veale 
and  Matt  Cary  will  be  traveling 
abroad  on  the  AFS  (American 
Field  Service)  program. 

Understanding 
through  participation 

Matt  and  Vance  do  not  know, 
as  yet,  where  they  will  be  staying. 
The  program,  however,  will  last 
quite  a  bit  longer  than  Sue's.  The 
two  AFS  representatives  will  be 
spending  between  ten  months  and 
one  year  in  their  respective 
foreign  countries. 

Matt  is  completing  his  fourth 
year  of  Spanish,  while  Vance  is 


completing  his  third  year  of 
French. 

"I'm  expecting  to  experience 
the  culture  and  develop  a  better 
understanding  of  the  language," 
stated  Matt.  "I  expect  to  gain  a 
different  viewpoint  after 
spending  some  time  away  from 
the  United  States. " 

Vance  is  expecting  relatively 
the  same  thing.  "Just  a  learning 
experience  and  a  better 
understanding  of  a  foreign 
country." 

Programs,  such  as  AFS  and 
EIL,  are  united  in  the  belief  that 
one  understands  other  nations 
and  his  own  better  through 
participation  in  programs  like 
these. 


LOOKING  FORWARD  TO  REALIZING  THEIR  AMBITIONS  and  traveling  abroad 
I  his  summer  are  senior  Matt  Cary,  juniors  Sue  Taylor  and  Vance  Veale.

EHS   Winter 

Band  Concert 

slated   for 

March  19 


The  Concert  Band  will  present 
its  annual  Winter  Band  Concert 
Friday,  March  19,  at  7:30  p.m.  in 
the  Elmhurst  gymnasium. 

Performing  their  last  concert 
before  going  on  tour  later  this 
semester,  the  group  has  slated  a 
unique  program.  "Music  for 
Progue"  is  scheduled  to  highlight 
the  concert.  A  special  slide 
presentation  has  been  formed 
under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Don 
Goss. 

"This  concert  has  got  to  be  the 
most  ambitious  effort  made  by 
the  band  this  year,"  declared

Mrs.  Anderson. 

Sponsored  by  the  American 
Legion,  the  three  girls  were 
chosen  by  first  being  nominated 
by  their  respective  history 
teachers.  The  names  were  then 
given  to  the  Dean  of  Girls.  Mrs.

A/f[  honors 
Mr,  Storey 

"I  feel  that  I've  reached  a 
milestone  as  far  as  coaching  is 
concerned."  stated  Mr.  Robert 
Storey  who  was  recently  named  a 
National  Forensic  Double 
Diamond  Coach  by  the  National 
Forensic  League. 

This  honor  is  awarded  to 
Forum  Club  sponsors  and  NFL 
members  who  have  devoted  their 
time  and  effort  to  teaching 
students  how  to  speak  effectively. 
For  each  point  that  Forum  Club 
members  earn  at  speech  contests, 
one-tenth  of  that  point  is  also 
awarded  to  their  sponsor.  When  a 
sponsor  has  accumulated  1500 
points,  he  is  awarded  a  pin 
containing  one  diamond.  Mr. 
Storey  has  already  earned  his  pin 
and  has  now  attained  3000  points 
which  entitles  him  to  have 
another  diamond  mounted  in  the 
pin. 

Mr.  Storey  commented  that  he 
wasn't  surprised  he  received  the 
honor.  He  was  aware  of  the  points 
that  he  and  his  former  students 
have  accumulated  since  he 
became  a  Forum  Club  sponsor 
and  an  NFL  member  in  1964.  Mr. 
Storey  concluded,  "The  many 
excellent  students  I've  had  in  the 
past  are  the  ones  who  have  helped 
to  make  this  honor  possible. ' ' 


^  edUofJQl  Attitude  of  team,  fans  destroys  dream  - 
Student  Council  member  fights  bach 


To  the  editor: 

A  young  girl  sat  high  in  the  pimhurst 
bleachers,  watching  the  basketball  team  fight  its 
way  to  a  victory,  urged  on  by  shrieking  fans.  Yet 
the  eyes  were  continually  drawn  in  fascination 
and  awe  to  the  cheerleaders  on  the  floor,  shouting 
and  chanting,  leading  such  enthusiasm.  It  was 
the  beginning  of  a  dream.. .a  dream  which  would 
someday  grow  into  a  reality.  It  was.  and  still  is,  a 
goal  shared  by  many  young  girls-the  honor  of 
being  a  cheerleader.  I  noticed  it  just  last  week  at 
a  game  as  the  small  girls  imitated  our  every 
move.  I  was  that  young  girl  with  the  dream,  and  I 
am  a  varsity  cheerleader. 

Reality  destroys  dream 

The  dream  is  cracked  and  choked  now.  The 
honor  of  being  a  cheerleader?  What  a  laugh!  I 
always  thought  we  led  others  in  cheering-not 
ourselvesi  But  I  guess  i  was  misled,  considering 
the  only  people  I  see  cheering  at  the  games  are  us. 
People  practice  their  accuracy  in  aiming  by 
throwing  paper,  popcorn,  and  airplanes  at  us. 
Speaking  for  myself,  I  certainly  didn't  spend 
hours  perfecting  cheers  and  mounts  to  become 
target  practice  for  some  smart  aleck.  Students 
complain  they  can't  hear  the  cheerleaders.  There 
are  only  six  of  us,  why  don't  they  move  down 
closer  instead  of  sitting  two  rows  from  the 
ceiling?  We  obstruct  the  view  of  those  sitting 
before  us  so  they  proceed  to  mouth  off  about  it. 
Hey.  that's  our  space  for  cheering,  the  only  spot 
we've  got.  If  they  can't  see-move. 

Cheerleaders  object  of  criticism 

We're  great  for  criticism,  too.  Rotten  pep 
sessions?  We're  the  first  to  get  the  blame.  But  a 
pep  session  is  only  as  good  as  the  student  body 
makes  it.  I  If  the  people  are  rowdy,  it's  great!  But 
if  they  aren't,  we  find  ourselves  putting  on  a  show 
as  mute  mouths  sit  and  watch  instead  of  cheering 
along.} 

But  the  real  clincher  comes  when  I  hear 
remarks  from  the  team  members  themselves!  If 
the  teams  don't  even  care  if  they  have 
cheerleaders,    then    I    must    sadly    draw    the 


conclusion  that  our  purpose  has  vanished  and 
with  it  the  dream.  It  seems  we  are  no  longer 
needed.  No  more  bolstering  the  team,  when 
they're  down  by  two  touchdowns.. .no  more 
urging  them  on  in  a  comeback  to  win  by  four.. .no 
more  congratulating  them  for  a  weil-played  game 
even  if  we  did  lose.  Just  no  more  anything.  But, 
after  all.  it  was  just  a  dream  in  the  first 
place. ..perhaps  it  should've  stayed  that  way. 

Karyn  Heiney 

To  the  editor: 

Concerning  the  most  astute  commentary  on 
Student  Council  activities  as  was  authored  by 
"JR"  in  Feb.  18  edition  of  the  Advance: 
"BULL...ONEY"! 

Let  me  preface  by  letting  you  know  that  I  am 
an  extremely  biased  individual  being  in  the  non- 
heroic  position  of  Student  Council  Vice- 
President.  I  would  Uke  to  answer  for  the  many 
nervous  and  extreme  hours  of  "socializing"  as 
you  have  so  bluntly  put  it! 
Council's  intentions  made  known 

In  the  course  of  last  year's  statements  of 
campaign  goals,  not  promises  as  you  have  so 
interpreted,  your  officers  made  known  their 
intentions  for  a  council  that  involves  a  wider  area 
of  people  as  compared  to  single  cliques  of  people. 
To  this  end.  two  after-game  dances  (which  were 
poorly  attended  ),  a  long  endeavored  Ethos 
concert  (with  practically  no  audience  present), 
and  the  Penny  Arcade  {a  reasonable  success 
crowd-wise)  have  been  sponsored  by  the  council. 
These  are  things  that  a  great  majority  of 
students  specifically  requested.  All  of  these 
activities  have  one  common  denominator-total 
enjoyment  by  most  participants. 

Another  successful  point  of  involvement  was 
our  Homecoming;  even  through  the  rain  and  cold, 
the  gimmick  days,  parade,  and  crowning  moved 
successfully. 
Meetings  definitely  not  "social  hours" 

On  the  everyday  side  of  school  life,  your 
officers  have  for  three  years  endeavored  to  bring 
soft  drink  machines  back  to  Elmhurst.  Strictly 


forbidden  by  the  School  Board,  the  way  is  still 
open  for  at  least  attainment  of  these  machines 
before  and  after  school.  Its  major  block-the 
cooperation  of  students  in  keeping  the  facilities 
clean  and  in  neat  order!  Even  so  the  malted  milk 
machine  can  be  considered  a  compromise  here. 

Student  Council  has  and  is  trying  to  donate 
council  money  for  worthy  activity  groups,  during 
and  after  school,  represented  at  Elmhurst.  Your 
representatives  have  spent  many  a  tiring 
morning  (at  7:15  a.m.)  at  meetings  trying  to 
allot  money  fairly  and  in  your  interest  "JR". 
Council  meetings  are  definitely  not  "social 
hours!" 

Election  confusion  removed 

Your  council  has  taken  the  confusion  out  of 
class  and  student  council  elections  which  will  be 
seen  at  the  year's  end  for  next  year's  officers  and 
candidates. 

Future  Student  Council  plans  include  a  dinner 
theater,  Spring  Day,  and  an  open  courtyard 
during  lunch  mods  when  the  weather  clears. 
These  are  not  "promises,"  but  goals  we  are  trying 
to  attain.  But  they  can  only  be  achieved  with  the 
student  body's  cooperation. 

Officers  hold  up  to  "promises" 

I  hope  that  I  have  shed  a  little  light  on  this 
year's  council,  and  the  way  you  view  us  "JR".  If 
you  would  like  to  debate  the  question  further, 
please  come  and  talk  to  me  personally.  This  is 
another  one  of  my  campaign  statements,  and  1 
can't  achieve  this  without  YOU!!! 

Finally  "JR",  I  would  suggest  to  you  that  the 
officers  and  representatives  have  held  up  to 
campaign  "promises"  as  you  have  so  adeptly  put 
it.  Before  you  write  another  derogatory  editorial 
on  the  council,  speak  to  someone  on  the  other 
side.  Otherwise,  your  commentary  will  draw 
similarity  to  the  representation  of  your  initials, 
JR-junior -for  an  uninformed  and  childish 
statement!

"One  Flew  Over  the  Cuckoo's  Nest",  playing  at  the  South  27 
Cinema,  is  a  milestone  in  cinema  history.  Its  power  and  impact  will 
make  it  an  unforgettable  experience  for  the  viewer. 

The  plot  is  an  original  one.  Based  on  a  novel  by  Ken  Kesey,  the 
setting  is  a  mental  institution.  Jack  Nicholson  excellently  portrays 
Randall  P.  McMurphy,  a  convict  who  believes  if  he  can  be  declared 
psychotic  he  can  beat  the  penal  system  and  easily  escape  from  thc^ 
hospital.  Inside,  he  finds  the  lifeless  patients  who  have  little  hope  — 
for  anything. 

Louise  Fletcher  is  outstanding  in  her  role  of  the  cold-hearted 
Nurse  Ratchett,  who  soon  gets  hers. 

Everything  is  just  right . . .  the  mood,  the  impact,  and  the  acting. 
It  all  pieces  together  under  the  artful  direction  of  Milos  Foreman  to 
make  "One  Flew  Over  the  Cuckoo's  Nest"  a  film  masterpiece. 
Missing  it  would  be  passing  up  a  once-in-a-lifetime  opportunity  to

Stanley  Kubrick's  newest  film,  "Barry  Lyndon,"  promises  to  be  a 
box  office  hit,  due  mostly  to  the  fine  advertising  campaign. 


"Barry  Lyndon"  is  the  story  of  a  young  Irish  rogue,  played  by 
Ryan  O'Neal,  who  falls  in  love  with  his  cousin.  He  is  sent  away  from 
his  home  and  his  family  after  he  shoots  his  cousin's  prominent 
English  suitor.  From  this  day  on  he  vows  to  elevate  himself  into  the 
upper  class. 

The  movie,  which  took  two  and  a  half  years  to  complete,  was 
filmed  in  Ireland.  This  is  perhaps  the  movie's  strongest  feature.  The 
scenery  is  beautiful.  But  the  Irish  landscape  cannot  make  up  for  the 
rest  of  the  movie. 

"Barry  Lyndon"  has  been  called  an  "adventure  film,"  but  the 
pace  is  much  too  slow  (Kubrick  concentrates  on  small  details,  i.e.  a 
prolonged  close-up  of  a  face,  the  twitch  of  a  muscle)jand  the  events 
are  much  too  dull. 

Admittedly,  the  movie  holds  one's  attention  until  an  hour  and  a 
half  has  gone  by,  and  you  realize  you've  only  seen  half  of  it.  But  the 
last  half  hour  is  the  most  unbearable.  By  this  time  it  doesn't  matter 
what  happens  to  who,  as  long  as  the  movie  ends,  so  you  can  leave 
without  making  the  people  sitting  next  to  you  move  for  the  fourth 
time. 

As  usual,  when  the  critics  get  hold  of  a  movie,  especially  a 
Kubrick  movie,  everybody  has  to  make  an  analysis.  Some  have  said 
"Barry  Lyndon"  provides  an  answer  to  why  the  colonies  went  to 
war  for  independence.  (A  bicentennial  movie!)  It  exposes  the 
corruption  in  the  European  upper  class.  Well,  all  the  corruption  is 
there,  but  the  movie  is  only  a  surface  movie.  It  doesn't  answer 
anything,  it  doesn't  even  raise  a  question.  So,  "Barry  Lyndon" 
really  has  nothing  important  to  sta*^e,  nor  can  it  serve  as  hvely 
entertainment. 

This  year  has  not  been  a  year  for  good  movies  (box-office  hits, 
yes;  good  movies,  no).  Which  explains  why  "Barry  Lyndon"  has 
been  nominated  for  seven  academy  awards.  If  you  must  see  it,  go  to 
a  matinee,  you'll  only  be  out  a  dollar  and  a  quarter.

Seniors  receive  credit 
trying  professional  jobs 


The  Community  Involvement 
Program  is  being  tested  out  by 
students  at  Wayne.  Snider^  and 
Elmhurst.  For  a  semester  a  student 
can  work  with  such  professionals  as 
a  lawyer,  a  journalist,  a  doctor,  an 
accountant,  a  government  official^or 
a  community  service  worker  in  order 
to  help  him  decide  whether  he  wants 
to  pursue  such  a  career. 

Participants  usually  spend  two  or 
three  hours  a  day  in  the  offices  of 
their  sponsors  observing  and 
performing  some  jobs.  They  receive 
high  school  credit  for  their  work  and 
are  chosen  to  participate  according 
to  school  performance  and  interest 
in  further  education  and 
professional  careers. 

Temple  tries  medicine 

Senior  Debbie  Temple  was  the 
only  Elmhurst  student  to  be  in  the 
program  the  first  semester.  Debbie, 
who  is  interested  in  the  field  of 
medicine,  worked  with  several 
medical  personnel  in  the  city.  For 
six  weeks  she  moved  from 
department  to  department  in 
Parkview  Hospital.  The  lab 
interested  her  the  most  and  she  says 
she  would  probably  go  into  that  field 
if  she  didn't  go  into  nursing.  She 
observed  a  surgeon,  doctors  in  a  free 
health  clinic,  and  EMS  personnel  in 
the  other  weeks.

It's  law  for  Novitsky 

At  the  General  Telephont 
Training  and  Development  Centei 
on  Tecumseh  Street,  Les  Novitsky 
goes  over  supervisor's  reports  to 
make  sure  the  company  is  not  liable 
for  any  inaccurate  statements  made 
by  supervisors,  since  employees  can 
be  dismissed  on  the  basis  of  such 
reports.  Les  definitely  will  be 
pursuing  a  law  career  and  hopes  to 
eventually  become  a  judge.  He 
could  not  be  placed  in  a  law  office 
due  to  the  confidentiality  of  the  law 
practice.  However,  his  present  job  is 
expected  to  give  him  exposure  to 
labor  relations. 

Through  working  at  the  Fort 
Wayne  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
Sarah  Stewart  is  learning  about  the 
different  levels  of  government.  Her 
sponsor  is  Chamber  lobbyist  Cindy 
Kuster,  who  works  with  laws  and 
the  legal  aspects  of  the  Chamber  as 
as  well  as  lobbying  in  Indianapolis 
when  the  state  legislature  is  in 
session.  Sarah  describes  the 
Charhber  as  "a  big  committee. ' '  She 
observes  meetings,  follows  proposed 
bills,  and  performs  some  clerical 
tasks. 

Beadie  wants  journalism 

Receiving  journalism  experience 
at  the  Fort  Wayne  News  Sentinel  is 
Nancy  Beadie.  Her  work  varies  as 
she  spends  weeks  with  different 
members  of  the  newspaper's 
editorial  staff.  She  has  done  layout 
work  for  the  "Weekender"  sampled 
photo  editing,  tried  editing  wire 
copy,  and  done  a  story  on  the 
progressive  rock  group  Ethos. 

Exchange  student  Andrea  Janser 
has  been  working  with  children  at 
the  Johnny  Appleseed  School.  She  is 
a  class  assistant  who  tries  to  teach 
the  students  simple  things.  She 
finds  the  work  "very  rewarding" 
though  she  is  not  sure  she  will  make 
a  career  in  that  field  once  she 
returns  to  Switzerland. 

Greg  Nowak  finds  his  job  in  the 
accounting  department  at  Mutual 
Security  Life  Insurance  Corporation 
sometimes  tedious  but  says  it's 
"good  experience."  He  works 
keeping  records  and  figuring 
expenses. 

Broadcasting  has  appeal 

Every  two  weeks  Claudia  Johnson 
moves  to  a  different  department  at 
WMEE.  She  finds  the  news 
department  the  most  exciting  with 
two  police  radios,  tapes,  and 
equipment.  Soon  she  will  move  to 
the  area  which  writes  and  produces 
commercials,  and  she  hopes  to  write 
some  there.  Claudia  plans  a  career  in 
telecommunications  and  believes 
the  experience  at  WMEE  will  be 
helpful.  She  says.  "For  one  thing,  I 
learned  how  expensive  it  is  to 
advertise  on  the  radio  and  how  much 
money  stations  can  make."

"The  trouble  wiLh  Elmhurst 
is  apathy  —  but  who  cares?" 
That  is  simple  enough  to 
understand,  but  curing  the 
problem  of  apathy  is  a  job  that 
takes  more  than  just  a 
paraphrase  of  a  bumper 
sticker.  Day  in  and  day  out. 
both  scholastically  and 
athletically,  Trojan  students 
are  excelling  to  levels-  that 
deserve  substantial 
recognition.  But  to  stop 
someone  in  the  hall  and  tell  him 
about  it  only  receives  the  great 
Trojan  response,  "Whocares?" 

The   following   is   a    list   of 


things  that  this  reporter  feels 
should  bs  recognized;  if  you 
care  to  follow  each  of  these 
phrases,  by  hollering  "Who 
cares!"  be  my  guest,  it  will 
only  prove  my  point. 

(1)  Every  athletic  team  at 
Elmhurst,  whether  they  had  a 
winning  or  a  losing  season, 
spent  hours  of  conditioning 
and  practice  in  order  to 
represent  their  school  as  well 
as  they  could. 

( 2 )  After  a  long  time  waiting, 
while  practicing  on  "adequate" 
equipment,  the  gymnastics 
team  has  finally  been  rewarded 
for    their    efforts    with     new

put  aside  some  time  to  choose 
my  All-City  Team.  Those  of 
you  who  have  followed  city 
high  school  basketball  will  not 
be  surprised  at  my  selection. 
Listed  below  are  my  choices 
with  Lheir  latest  scoring

Although  some  people  I  have 
talked    to    disagree    with    mv 


scoring  except  for  Gooden  who 
ranks  second  with  a  17. .5 
average  to  Barnes  who  is 
shooting  al  a  20. 1  clip  per 
game,  Gooden  has  the 
distinction  of  being  the  top 
shooter  though,  hitting  well 
over  50  per  cent  of  his  shots 
while  teammate  Barnes  is 
piercing  the  nets  right  at  50  per 
cent  for  the  Wayne  Generals. 
Together,  they  have  bolstered 
Wayne's  team  field  goal 
percentage  to  52  per  cent,  an

selections  and  especially  the 
positions  which  1  placed 
Thomas  and  Barnes,  1  believe 
this  to  be  the  best  five  man 
team  the  city  of  Fort  Wayne 
can  produce.  It  is  a  quick  team 
with  every  player  having  the 
ability  to  hit  20foot  jump 
shots. 

The  rebounding  strength  lies 
with  Thomas.  Gooden,  and 
Barnes  who  are  all  great 
leapers,  Shooting  has  to  be  this 
team's  strong  point.  Every 
player  listed  leads  his  team  in 


amazing  feat  for  a  high  school 
ball  club. 

Although  my  All-City  Team 
is  fairly  small  compared  to 
other  possible  all-city  teams,  I 
believe  its  quickness  and  great 
shooting  ability  would  enable 
it  to  compete  with  any  other 
all-city  team  in  Indiana. 

If  you  can  make  it  out  to  the 
Coliseum  for  the  Sectionals, 
keep  an  eye  open  for  these 
players,  and  I  believe  you  too 
would  make  these  selections.

Reserves  win 

The  season  concluded  with  a 
fantastic  weekend  for  the 
Elmhurst  reserves.  The  team 
conquered  Concordia  51-46 
Friday  and  gave  Mississinewa  a 
scare  in  an  exciting  overtime 
which  ended  66-63  unfortunately 
in  the  Indians'  favor. 

The  squad  did  well  as  a  team 
and  also  had  several  outstanding 
individual  contributions.  Against 
the  Cadets,  junior  Don  Culpepper 
racked  up  14  points,  Rob  Meyers, 
also  a  junior,  was  right  behind 
him  with  12,  and  sophomore 
MelvinCobbhitfor  11. 

Rob  grabbed  12  rebounds,  and 
sophomore  Mike  Starks  had  10. 
Don  finished  the  night  with  nine. 

In  Saturday's  contest,  the 
Trojans  fought  to  a  59-59 
stalemate  against  Mississinewa. 
and  the  game  went  into  a  three- 
minute  overtime  battle.  The  score 
remained  close  throughout  the 
period,  but  the  Indians  edged 
around  to  win  66-63  when 
Elmhurst  ran  into  "technical 
trouble." 

Coach  Phil         Habegger 

commented,  "We  played  our  best 
game  of  the  year  against  a  good 
team." 

As  evidence  of  the  statement. 
junior  Rick  Hamilton  scored  a 
high  of  16,  followed  by  Rob 
Meyers  with  1 4 .  and  Melvin  Cobb 
with  10.  Don  Culpepper  took  all 
credit  in  the  rebounding  division 
with  12.

year  with  little  student 
recognition,  not  to  mention  the 
support  that  our  hockey  team 
got  this  year. 

(5)  Ehnhurst  teachers  are 
requested  to  give  up  their  time 
to  take  tickets,  and  other  such 
fun  jobs,  at  our  home  sports 
events.  They  don't  get  paid  for 
this  extra-curricular  activity, 
nor  do  the  teachers  that  spend 
their  time  sponsoring  clubs. 

These  are  just  to  name  a 
few.  This  reporter  is  as  guilty 
as  every  other  Trojan  that 
walks  the  floors  of  this  school. 
But  why  should  we  care  about 
all  this  trivia?  Life  will  surely 
go  on  at  Elmhurst  without  all 
these  items  of  interest. 

Loyalty  does  not  come  easy 
—  it  takes  time,  effort  and 
patience  .  .  .  virtues  that  many 
of  us  do  not  have  the 
willingness  to  achieve. 

So  much  of  our  time  is  taken 
up  by  participating  in  the  red 
tape  and  paperwork  that 
officials  seem  to  think  is 
necessary.  By  the  time  you 
muddle  through  all  of  the 
insignificance  and  get  to  the 
heart  of  whatever  the  problem 
may  be  -  frustration  has  hit .  .  . 
and  it's  very  difficult  to 
convince  yourself  that  you  love 
this  school  and  are  proud  to  be 
a  part  of  it. 

All  the  cheerleaders  in  the 
world  banding  together  to 
fight  apathy  cannot  solve  the 
sad  school  spirit  disease  that 
has  afflicted  our  school. 

Don't  love  Elmhurst  or  leave 
it  —  stick  around  and  do 
something  about  what's 
wrong.  One  or  two  voices  can 
easily  be  ignored  —  but  one  or 
two  hundred  voices  will 
definitely  cause  changes. 

The  trouble  with  Elmhurst  is 
apathy  -  but  some  people  care.

Sectionals  thwart  Trojans' effort 


Fort  Wayne  sectional  one 
threw  a  stiff  challenge  to  the 
Elmhurst  Trojans  in  the  form  of 
the  Wayne  Generals.  And  once 
again  this  year,  Wayne's  size, 
speed.and  accuracy  were  a  bit  too 


much  for  the  Trojan  five  to 
handle.  Elmhurst  took  it  on  the 
chin,  71-62,  in  the  first  game 
March  2  at  the  Memorial 
Coliseum.

their  first  match,  coming  off  two 
straight  home  victories  to  carry 
some  momentum  into  the  contest. 
The  Trojans  attacked  Wayne 
with  a  controlled  offense  and 
attempted  to  remain  within 
striking  distance  in  the  early 
going.  Earlier  this  year,  Wayne's 
quickness  and  size  put  the  game 
out  of  reach  in  a  hurry,  and  Coach 
Kenny  Eytcheson  directed  his 
troops  to  counteract  that 
advantage  with  control  and 
concentration. 

The  pace  of  the  game  began 
very  slowly  with  Wayne  building 
a  10-2  lead  in  the  first  quarter. 
However,  Elmhurst  remained 
within  striking  distance,  down 
only  four  or  five  points  in  the 
second  half  for  a  while.  At  one 
point  the  Trojans  looked  like  they 
might  even  overtake  the 
Generals  after  scoring  six 
straight  points.  However,  free 
throws  hurt  Elmhurst  as  they 
missed  opportunities  to  gain 
momentum. 

Wayne's  deadly  shooting  and 
defense  held  Elmhurst  off  as  the 
Generals  led  28-16  at  the  half. 

In  the  second  half.  Elmhurst  • 
stayed^  within  10-15  points'  of 
Wayne,  matching  Wayne's  hot 
shooting,  but  missing  several  free 
throws.  The  Trojans  collected 
only  12  of  22  charity  tosses,  a 
problem  all  year  for  Elmhurst. 

Near  the  end  of  the  fourth 
quarter,  junior  Ernie  Starks 
began  pouring  in  the  points,  but  a 
little  too  late  as  the  Generals 
relied  on  their  lead  in  the  final 
minutes  to  carry  them  over. 

Elmhurst  had  44  per  cent 
accuracy  from  the  field,  which 
was  not  bad.  But  Wayne  shot  a 
smooth  52  per  cent.  Accuracy  was 
a  weak  point  during  the  entire

Eytcheson.  in  addition  to  floor 
errors.  Elmhurst  actually  scored 
one  more  basket  than  Wayne. 
However,  the  Trojans  still 
contributed  to  a  total  of  46  fouls 
called  between  both  teams. 

Eight  different  players  scored 
for  Elmhurst  with  Starks 
collecting  22  to  lead  the  way. 
followed  by  senior  Raymond 
Walker  with  19.  Elmhurst  lost 
two  players  on  fouls,  senior 
Johnnie  White  and  junior  Mike

Elmhurst  has  faced  a  tough 
schedule  since  the  beginning  of 
the  year  and  ended  the  season 
with  a  9-11  record.  Elmhurst 
showed  maturity  and 

improvement,  but  not  enough

The  1975-76  wrestling  season

with  a  6-6  mark  for  the  season 
plus  a  first  place  in  the  Woodlan

and  fourth  in  regionals,  not  to

Singers  take  off  to  tour  abroad 


by  Nancy  McAfee 

For  over  1  Vi  years,  people 
around  Elmhurst  have  been 
hearing  about  the  European  tour 
that  the  Trojan  Singers  were 
planning  to  take. 

According  to  senior  Lisa 
Langmeyer,  "Last  year  when  Mr. 
Schmutz  told  us  about  it,  I  didn't 
believe  it  could  happen." 

The  trip,  now  a  reality,  will  be 
taken  during  spring  vacation. 

The  party  of  42,  21  singers  and 
21     adults,     will    visit     three 


countries,  Germany,  Austria,  and 
Switzerland. 

Their  tour  in  Germany  will 
include  Frankfurt,  Heidelburg, 
and  Freiburg  along  with  Munich, 
the  site  of  the  1972  Summer 
Olympics.  They  will  also  be 
visiting  Lucerne,  Switzerland, 
and  Innsbruck  Austria,  the  city 
of  the  1976  Winter  Olympics. 

Allen  Shaw  stated,  "I  was 
more  excited  a  month  ago.  It  was 
more  like  a  dream  a  month  ago, 
now  it's  more  of  a  reality." 

The   Trojan    Singers   will   fly 


from  O'Hare  Field  in  Chicago 
directly  to  Amsterdam,  Holland. 
They  will  then  fly  to  Frankfurt, 
pick  up  their  bus  and  tour  guide 
there  and  proceed  t»  Heidelburg. 
The  singers  will  be  performing 
three"  concerts  in  Innsbruck,  in 
'  Jona,  Switzerland,  and  in 
Aschaffenburg,  Germany. 

In  order  to  make  the  trip,  the 
singers  had  to  make  some  money. 
Their  projects  included  selling 
Jazz  Festival  tickets  last  year, 
singing  at  banquets,  paper 
drives,  Penny  Arcade,  and  a 
benefit  dance  held  in  their  behalf. 


Student  teachers  assist  staff 


Students  will  be  seeing  some 
new  faces  around  Elmhurst  as 
three  student  teachers  arrived 
recently  to  assume  teaching 
positions. 

French  classes 
receive  new  assistant 

Miss  Bobbie  Scott,  a  native  of 
Butler,  Indiana,  will  be  assisting 
Mr.  Michael  Rothe  with  his 
French  classes  until  the  end  of 
April.  A  student  of  Bowling 
Green  State  University,  Miss 
Scott  has  earned  her  bachelor's 
degree  and  master's  degree  in 
French.  Miss  Scott  has  also  done 
some  teaching  in  college  as  a 
graduate  assistant. 

"Elmhurst  seems  like  a  nice 
school,  and  everyone  is  friendly," 
remarked  Miss  Scott.  "I  hope  to 
become  familiar  with  high  school 
students  and  with  the 
maintenance  of  high  school  teach- 
ing which  is  much  different  from 
college  teaching. " 

After  she  finishes  her  student 
teaching.  Miss  Scott  hopes  to 
obtain  a  teaching  position  or  she 
may  possibly  make  a  fourth  trip 
to  France. 

Mansbach  "very  much 
athome"atEHS 

Aiding  Mrs.  Hoylman  with  her 
journalism  and  composition 
classes  until  May  7  is  Mrs. 
Geraldine  Mansbach,  whose 
student  teaching  is  done  through 
the  Purdue  University  Extension 
at  Fort  Wayne.  She  obtained  her 
Bachelor  of  Science  degree  in 
journalism  from  the  University  of 
Illinois  and  is  presently  working 
for  her  master's  degree  in 
education. 

When   asked   about   her  first 


impressions  of  Elmhurst,  the 
Rockford,  Illinois,  native  replied, 
' '  I  felt  very  much  at  home, 
because  I  knew  many  of  the 
students.  I  hope  to  teach  my 
composition  students  to  become 
comfortable  with  writing  and  to 
look  on  it  not  as  a  chore,  but  as  a 
way  to  organize  their  ideas.  I  also 
want  to  become  familiar  with  the 
workings  of  the  publications 
department." 

After  she  leaves,  Mrs. 
Mansbach  hopes  to  find  a 
position  as  a  publications  adviser 
or  as  a  teacher  in  journalism  or 
English. 

Hageman  becoming 
more  "Trojafaized" 

Also  among  the  many  new 
faces  at  EHS  is  Mr.  Mark 
Hageman,  who  is  working  with 
Mr.  Tom  Herman's  gym  classes. 
Mr.  Hageman,  who  was  bom  in 


Fort  Wayne  and  was  graduated 
from  Bishop  Luers  High  School, 
will  also  be  helping  Mr.  Don 
Kemp  with  the  track  team, 
especially  in  the  pole  vault 
division. 

The  Ball  State  University 
student  commented,  "Even 
though  I'm  still  a  Luers  Knight, 
I'm  slowly  becoming  Trojanized. 
While  I'm  here  I  hope  to  gain 
more  confidence  as  a  teacher  and' 
learn  more  about  students  in 
general." 

Mr.  Hageman  wiU  earn  his 
Bachelor  of  Scienece  degree  in 
physical  education  upon 
completion  of  his  student 
teaching  in  May.  He  also  stated 
that  even  though  he  doesn't  know 
for  sure  what  he'll  do  after  he 
leaves,  Mr.  Hageman  plans  to 
search  for  a  teaching  or  coaching 
position  in  football  or  track. 


Three  new  student  teachers  at  Elmhurst  are  Miss  Bobbie  Scott,  Mrs. 
Gerrie  Mansbach,  and  Mr.  Mark  Hageman.  They  will  be  teaching  foreign 
language,  journalism,  aad  physical  education,  respectively. 


The  program  they  will  be 
singing  will  include  three  German 
songs  and  the  rest  in  English. 

The  party  will  be  staying  in 
hotels  during  their  stay  in  the 
European  countries. 

Mr.  Al  Schmutz,  choral 
director,  will  accompany  the 
singers  along  with  Miss  Sharon 
Dietrich  and  Miss  Pam  Hamm 
from  Elmhurst. 

"I'm  not  allowing  myself  to  get 
excited  .  .  .  When  I  get  on  the 
plane  and  I'm  sure  we're  going, 
then  I  might  get  a  little  excited," 
concluded  Mr.  Schmutz.

State  OEA 

"I  owe  all  of  my  success  to  my

opportunity  to  compete.  Also,  all

Ehnhurst  students,  has  been  scheduled  for  Saturday,  May  15,  at  the 
Baer  Field  Hilton  Hotel. 

According  to  Mrs.  Susan  Owen,  junior  class  sponsor,  a  dinner  is 
being  planned  again  this  year  before  the  dance.  The  cost  for  the  dinner 
and  the  dance  is  $16  per  couple.  For  those  who  wish  to  attend  only  the 
dance,  the  price  is  $10  per  couple. 

The  preliminary  voting  for  the  prom  queen  and  court  was  Mar.  18. 
The  final  selection  of  the  queen  will  be  announced  the  night  of  the 
prom. 

The  possibility  of  an  after -prom  is  being  worked  on  by  junior  Lori 
McCleneghen. 

Lee  receives  Eagle  Award 

"I  felt  elated!  I  got  a  sense  of  accomplishment,"  stated  junior  Mark 
Lee  upon  receiving  scouting's  highest  honor,  the  Eagle  Award. 

Twenty-four  merit  badges  along  with  a  service  project  were  required 
for  the  award.  Mark  worked  on  an  improvement  program  at  Fox 
Island  to  complete  his  service  project.  He  also  maintained  the 
leadership  position  of  assistant  scoutmaster. 

Mark  will  be  able  to  assume  the  responsibilities  of  a  scoutmaster  as 
soon  as  he  becomes  18  years  of  age.  He  is  a  member  of  Troop  56  which 
meets  at  Indian  Village  School  and  is  headed  by  Scoutqiaster  Craig 
Johnson. 


Stein  adds  input 
as  Cnuncil  member 


Girod  named  Boys'  State  rep 


A  27-member  Citizen  Advisory 
Council  to  tlie  Port  Wayne  School 
Board  has  been  created  by  the 
Board  of  School  Trustees  to  the 
Fort  Wayne  Community  Schools 
system. 

Council     to    monitor,     aesess 
programe 

The  new  council  consists  of  21 
Fort  Wayne  citizens  and  six 
students,  one  from  each  of  the 
system's  six  senior  high  schools. 
Representing  Ehnhurst  is  junior 
Dave  Stein.  Dave  was  chosen  to 
represent  EHS  by  Principal 
Richard  Horstraeyer  and  the 
executivce  committee  of  the 
Student  Council.  The  other  high 
schools  represented  are  Wayne, 
Northrop,  South  Side,  North 
Side,  and  Snyder. 

The  purpose  of  the  Advisory 
Council's  creation  was  to  gather 
and  share  local  and  public  input 
into  the  decision-making  process 
of  the  School  Board.  In  addition 
to  this,  another  aim  of  the  Council 


is  to  act  as  a  channel  for  the 
concerns  of  the  individual 
schools.  The  Council  will  also 
monitor  and  assess  programs  and 
suggest  pohcy  advancement  to 
the  School  Board. 
Stein  named  to  constitution 
group 

The  members  of  the  Council 
were  named  and  introduced  at  the 
School  Board  meeting.  Mar.  8.  At 
this  time,  the  newly  appointed 
members  were  formed  into 
committees.  Dave  is  a  member  of 
the  constitution  committee  of 
which  Ivan  A.  Lebamoff,  the 
former  mayor  of  Fort  Wayne,  is 
also  a  member. 

Dave's  term  of  office  was  also 
decided  at  this  School  Board 
meeting.  It  will  be  from  March, 
1976  to  July,  1977.  Also  decided 
at  the  meeting  was  the  date  for 
the  election  of  the  Council's 
officers.  The  president,  vice- 
president,  and  secretary  positions 
will  be  filled  before  June  1. 


Though  poUtics  may  seem  to  be 
a  boring  subject  to  some,  tor 
others  it  is  not  only  interesting 
but  worth  the  time  to  spend 
learning  about  all  kinds  of 
governmental  endeavors.  Junior 
Randy  Girod  is  one  of  those 
people  who  take  government 
seriously;  this  year  he  wiU  be 
representing  Ehnhurst  at  Boys' 
State. 

Girod  active  in  several  campaigns 
"I'm  really  excited  about  going 
to  Boys'  State,  mostly  because 
I'm  interested  in  pobtics  as  either 
an  extra-curricular  activity  or 
maybe  even  a  career,"  Randy 
explained. 

However,  Randy  is  more  than 
just  interested  in  politics.  He  has 
been  active  in  several 
campaigns,  especially  in  Robert 
Armstrong's  campaign  for  mayor 
last  fall.  Randy  is  a  member  of 
the  Young  Republicans  Club  of 


Fort  Wayne,  and  he  spends  quite 
a  bit  of  time  educating  himself  on 
the  different  candidates. 

"I  think  if  people  would  get  rid 
of  their  cynical  attitude  towards 
politics,"  Randy  added,  "the 
political  system  in  America  would 
be  in  a  lot  better  shape. " 

Ford  foreseen  election  winner 
Randy  predicts  the  '76  Presi- 
dential race  to  be  between  Gerald 
Ford  and  Hubert  Humphrey.  He 
also  foresees  Ford  as  the  winner. 

On  a  local  level,  Girod  is  hoping 
that  Dan  Quayle  will  win  the 
proper  amount  of  votes  in  the 
Fourth  District  and  go  on  to 
defeat  his  Democratic  counter- 
part. 

"I  hope  to  learn  a  lot  about  our 
political  system  at  Boys'  State," 
said  Girod.  The  knowledge  of 
politics  would  probably  help  in 
Randy's  chosen  career  —  law.

radios 

gain 
popuiarity 


by  Verne  Myers 

The  CB,  Citizen's  Band  Radio,  has  long  been  a 
useful  tool  of  the  long-haul  truck  driver.  It  fulfills 
many  purposes  for  the  trucker,  providing  him  with  a 
constant  companion  and  lookout  for  the  law. 

Recently,  however,  CB  radios  have  been  showing  up 
in  cars,  homes  or  anyplace  where  they  are  useful  and 
entertaining.  While  it  is  perhaps  a  "toy,"  CB's  have 
been  aiding  in  emergencies  and  providing  valuable 
information  to  thousands  of  people  across  the  country. 
Today,  CB  radios  affect  the  lives  of  over  four  million 
people,  and  license  applications  have  more  than  tripled 
this  year. 

A  passing  fad?  Maybe,  but  all  the  jargon, 
techniques,  and  reasons  for  using  them  have  always 
been  serious,  and  even  the  non-serious  users  have  been 
finding  them  useful  in  daily  communication. 

Reasons  range  from  fun  to  service 

CB  radios  vary  as  much  as  the  reasons  for  using 
them.  Many  rural  families  and  communities  set  them 
up  at  home  for  easy  communication.  These  immobile 
units,  or  "bay  stations,"  may  have  up  to  25  miles 
range,  depending  upon  the  size  and  height  of  the 
antenna.  In  the  car,  the  radios  have  an  average  range 
of  15  miles,  depending  upon  the  terrain  and  weather. 

Coach  Tom  Herman  has  been  turning  in  with  a  CB 
for  a  month  and  is  thinking  ahead  for  the  summer 
months.  "I  plan  to  use  it  this  summer  to  help  locate 


camp  sites  and  avoid  heavy  traffic.  It's  an  interesting 
thing  to  have."  Mr.  Herman  has  it  on  going  and 
coming  to  school,  exhibiting  the  friendliness  and 
openness  of  theCB'ers. 

Senior  Phil  Gutman  commented,  "You  don't  have  to 
know  anyone,  everybody  talks  to  anybody."  CB'ers 
might  not  even  know  each  other's  names,  but  only 
their  "handle,"  such  as  Silver  Bullet  (Phil  Gutman)  or 
Peter  Dragon  (Andy  Norton).  Every  set  must  be 
registered  with  the  FCC  which  involves  filling  out  a 
simple  card  and  mailing  it.  After  6-8  weeks,  a 
registration  and  call  letters,  which  everyone  must 
have,  are  sent  back. 
Any  price  -  any  style  -  they're  popular 

CB's  themselves  come  in  all  price  ranges  and  styles. 
What  a  person  likes  and  how  much  he  wants  to  pay  are 
the  determining  factors.  The  maximum  wattage  is  5 
watts,  and  the  number  of  channels  may  vary  from  23 
on  A.M.  set,  to  69  on  a  set  with  special  side  bands. 
Prices  range  from  100  to  450  dollars. 

With  the  popularity  of  the  CB,  one  must  be  careful 
of  thieves,  as  CB 's  are  being  stolen  now  instead  of  tape 
players.  With  their  growing  popularity,  there  are  those 
who  misuse  and  abuse  their  sets,  though  it  isn't  too 
common. 

As  more  and  more  people  use  them,  perhaps  a  more 
relaxed  and  friendly  atmosphere  will  develop,  and 
along  with  it,  increased  safety  on  the  roads.

students  suggest    juke  box  « 
condemn  discrimination 


To  the  editor: 

Elmhurst  High  School  has  a  discipUne 
problem.  It's  a  problem  that  could  become 
bigger. 

Case  in  point:  If  a  white  student  is 
reprimanded  by  one  of  his  teachers  and  the 
student  becomes  angry  enough  to  leave  or 
threaten  the  teacher,  his  punishment  becomes 
more  severe.  He  is  expeUed,  flunked  in  the 
course,  or  transferred,  more  than  likely,  to 
study  hall.  Put  a  black  student  in  the  same 
situation  and  he  is,  perhaps,  sent  to  the  office. 
The  next  day  he  is  back  in  class  because  he 
deserves  "another  chance."  Could  it  be  that 
the  teacher  and  faculty  are  afraid  of  the  black 
kids?  Why  should  they  be?  Whites  and  blacks 
are  people.  There  should  be  no  reason  to  show 
favoritism  toward  a  student  who  because  of  his 
cultural  background  deserves  a  second  chance. 
There  are  a  lot  of  white  kids  who  come  from 
broken  homes  and  are  really  messed  up.  Don't 
they  deserve  the  same  benefits  as  black  kids? 

To  the  teachers,  faculty,  and  students: 
Everyone  is  entitled  to  equal  benefits  as  weU 
as  punishment.  If  you're  going  to  punish  a 
white  person  by  kicking  him  out  of  class,  then 
a  black  person  should  have  the  same  sentence 
if  the  crime  is  the  same.  If  you're  going  to  give 
the  black  person  a  second  chance  then  the 
same  should  be  for  the  white  student,  but  let's 


get  it  straight  one  way  or  the  other.  Everyoni 
needs  to  be  treated  equally. 

JN 

To  the  editor: 

It  seems  to  me  that  the  student  council  is 
always  needing  money  for  some  project  (so 
they  say).  But  the  thing  is  they  never  seem  to 
do  anything  about  it.  Most  of  the  time  (I've 
seen  them),  they  get  together  for  a  good  laugh. 
If  money  is  the  problem,  why  not  do  what 
Luers  and  Dwengcr  do?  Answer:  Put  a  juke 
box  in  the  cafeteria!  Why  not?  It  would  cost 
less  to  lease  one  than  half  the  profit  would  be 
made.  With  the  top  40  available,  it  would  be 
running  before  school  and  aU  four  lunch  mods. 
I'm  sure  the  student  body  would  really  enjoy 
the  music  as  I'm  sure  the  student  council 
would  enjoy  the  profit.  So  why  not  give  it  a 
try?

Teachers  joke  about  smoke 
but  don't  find  it  funny 

"Cut  off  all  their  heads!"  Mr.  Stookey  jokingly 
commented  in  the  recent  survey  conducted  by  the 
first  year  journalism  class.  The  object  of  the  survey 
was  to  find  out  what  the  teachers'  opimons  were 
concerning  the  problem  of  smoking  m  the 
restrooms.  Twenty-eight  staff  members  were 
questioned. 
Smoking  offensive  to  many 

When  asked  whether  they  thought  smoking  was 
offensive  to  them  personaUy,  71  percent  said  "yes' , 
21  percent  said  "no",  and  8  percent  were  undecided. 
Mr  Morse  answered,  "I  think  it  is  hypocrisy  for 
teachers  and  administrators  to  allow  themselves 
places  in  the  building  to  smoke  and  then  deny  that 
right  to  students."  Mrs.  Hibben  added," It  is  offen- 
sive especially  when  there  is  so  much  of  it. " 

The  next  question  concerned  the  idea  of  having  a 
smokmg  lounge  for  students  to  reUeve  the  problem. 
Thirty-nine  percent  said  "yes",  and  61  percent  said 
"no"  "Yes,  and  we  could  call  it  'the  Uttle  Jbrown 
shack  out  back', "  agreed  Mr.  Brugh.  Mrs.  BrIHburn 
argued,  "I'm  not  in  favor  of  it,  and  we  could  have 
other  problems  as  a  result."  Several  teachers 
claimed  that  they  thought  it  was  iUegal  to  have  a 
smoking  lounge  in  a  pubUc  building. 
Lounge  not  answer  to  problem 

When  asked  if  the  student  would  still  use  the 
restrooms  for  smoking  if  such  a  room  were  provided, 
86  percent  said  "yes"  and  14  percent  said  "no."  Mr. 
Lohr  insisted,  "A  lounge  would  not  stop  the  use  of 
smoking  in  the  restrooms." 

Solutions  to  the  problem  received  responses  such 
as  these:  "We  should  expel  the  student  on  the  first 
catch,"  advised  Mr.  Garrett  and  Mr.  Eager.  Mrs. 
Capin  pointed  out,  "Eliminate  the  encouragement 
of  smoking."  Mr.  MiUer  and  Mr.  StiU  proposed, 
"We  could  have  an  area  outside  and  time  to  use  it." 
Mr.  Derbyshire  emphasized  "There  is  no  need  to 
smoke.  Period."  Mr.  Storey  humorously  suggested, 
"Stop  manufacturing  cigarettes."  Mr.  Brugh 
grinned,  "Hide  all  the  matches!" 


monty  python  boob 
belongs  on  small  scceen

Monty  Python's  Big  Red  Book  is  beyond  a  disappointment  for  the 
regular  fans  of  Monty  Python  TV  shows.  This  is  where  the  crew  of 
Monty  Python  should  have  stuck  to  TV.  Their  latest  venture  into  the 
book  writing  field  has  failed. 
Cover  provides  ineffective  advertising 

The  book  is  set  up  in  Python  poetry  -  the  title  fails  to  describe  the 
real  color  of  the  cover  which  is  blue,  not  red,  and  the  Uttle  yeUow  blot 
which  claims  "Now  in  hardback  cover"  can  hardly  persuade  anyone  to 
buy  it  —  freakie  or  not.  No  wonder  there  wasn't  any  advertising 
campaign  on  the  book. 

Then  the  real  adventure  comes  when  anyone  opens  the  cover.  The 
eye  catches  the  folded  up  sheet  of  paper  with  a  photograph, 
supposedly  of  the  guy  who  wrote  it,  attached  with  a  paper  clip  still  on 
and  footnotes  handwritten  on  the  bottom.  Thereafter,  a  series  of 
letter  complaining  about  the  choice  of  the  man  who  wrote  the 
foreword. 
Material  mostly  suited  for  TV 

The  book  continues  with  a  page  of  ads  such  as:  "NEW  MEMBERS 
urgently  required  for  suicide  club,  Watford  Area."  With  this  sickness 
comes  running  along  the  end  of  the  Big  Brown  Book  with  a  series  of 
pictures  (obviously  taken  from  the  TV  set)  entitled  "Juliette,"  a  very 
low  love  story. 

This  set-up  continues  through  the  book  and  luckily  you  may  find  a 
page  talking  about  the  same  subject  when  you  finish  reading  the  page. 
The  book  material  is  mostly  suited  for  TV  and  can  get  very  boring;  I 
failed  to  laugh.  Maybe  I'U  never  understand  British  humor:  anyway, 
it's  certainly  not  worth  the  85.95. ^^^^^^^

The  Elmhurst  Trojan  track 
team,  along  with  25  other  teams, 
competed  in  the  Hoosier  Relay 
Trials  last  Saturday  at 
Bloomington.  The  meet,  held  at 
I.U.'s  Field  House,  was  one  of  the 
four  trial  meets  held  on 
Thursday,  Friday,  and  Saturday. 

Junior  Doug  Peters,  placing 
second  in  the  shot  put,  was  the 
only  Trojan  trackman  to  qualify 
for  the  Hoosier  Relay  Finals  on 
March  26.  Doug  had  a  fine  throw 
of  52'5yz",  just  three  inches 
behind  the  winner. 

Placing  fifth  in  the  880  was 
senior  Dave  Lewis  who  ran  a 
time  of  2:06  but  failed  to  qualify 
for  the  finals.

Although  we  may  not  have  any 
Billie  Jean  Kings  or  Chris  Everts, 
this  year's  girls  tennis  team 
should  have  plenty  of  depth  to 
improve  on  last  year's  0-11  mark. 
With  only  one  senior  on  last 
year's  team,  many  sophomores 
and  juniors  were  given  the  chance 
to  play  and  therefore  can  return 
this  season  to  battle  for  the 
Trojans,  backed  by  a  year  of 
experience. 

The  girls  practice  every 
evening  after  school  from  2:45  to 
4:30  and  due  to  the  good  weather 
have  been  able  to  hit  the  courts 
fairly  early  this  season.  The  team 
now  has  just  under  a  month  left 
to  practice  before  their  first  meet 
against  Wayne  on  April  14. 


The  Elmhurst  golf  team  will 
begin  its  1976  season  with  its  first 
match  scheduled  on  April  15 
against  Warsaw.  The  first 
practice  for  the  linksmen  will  be 
held  on  March  29  at  the  Bobick's 
Driving  Range. 

Winning  only  one  match  last 
year,  Elmhurst  will  try  to 
improve  that  old  record  with  the 
help  of  two  returning  lettermen, 
seniors  Jim  McCleneghen  and 
Mark  Newell. 

Coach  Nick  Werling 

conunented  on  this  year's  team, 
"We'll  have  a  lot  of  fun.  There  are 
a  few  juniors  that  got  their  feet 
wet  last  year  as  sophomores."  He 
added,  "We  should  have  a  better 
season       than       last       year." 


The  Elmhurst  baseball  team 
will  begin  its  quest  for  its  third 
consecutive  sectional  crown  on 
April  6  when  they  meet  Columbia 
City  here  at  4  p.m. 

Trojan  diamondmen  started 
practice  on  March  1  with  nearly 
35  players  trying  to  make  the  20- 
man  roster. 

The  Trojans  look  strong  again 
this  year  with  eight  returning 
lettermen  to  lead  the  way.  Seniors 
Phil  Gutman,  Dan  Landrigan, 
Stan  Sorgen,  Terry  Smith,  and 
Stan  Price  all  will  return  in 
addition  to  juniors  Ron 
Culpepper,  Brian  Russell,  and 
Nelson  Almond.

Rick  Knuth  led  off  with  a  2:04 
followed  by  Mike  Ausderan  who 
ran  a  2: 18.  Bob  Levy  ran  third  leg 
with  a  2:07  split  and  Dave  Lewis 
anchored  with  2:12.  This  gave 
them  an  8: 41  overall  time. 

Running  the  880  relay  for  the

Mike  Starks,  Kenny  Young,  and

What  can  you  say  about  a 
group  of  girls  that  put  out 
100%  effort  and  won  the 
beginning  and  intermediate 
levels  of  our  Sectionals?  You 
can  say  all  the  synonomous 
words  for  terrific  or  you  can 
just  sum  it  all  up  by  saying 
that  it's  a  |well-deserved  honor 
for  a  team  that  surpassed  all 
obstacles  and  became  the  only 
Trojan  team  this  year  to 
achieve  so  much. 

Determined  gymnasts 
face  many  obstacles 

What's  behind  all  of  this 
success?  The  answer  is  easy. 
One  great  coach  by  the  name  of 
Marty  Bums  -  and  a  group  of 
young  women  who  have 
strived  to  achieve  the  ultimate 
in  their  respective  events. 
People  that  have  given  up  a  lot 
of  time  (most  of  those  hours 
inconvenient  due  to  facilities 
and  the  number  of  various 
teams),  were  willing  to  practice 
on  equipment  that  would 
probably  have  been  condemned 
by  the  Board  of  Health  and  put 
out  the  effort  needed  to 
develop  an  all-round  versatile 
gymnastics  team. 

There  aren't  too  many 
people  who  would  be  willing  to 
put  up  with  hands  torn  and 
blistered  from  work  on  the 
uneven  bars  or  pulled 
ligaments  from  trying  too  hard 


for  too  long  a  time. 

Dedicated  teammates 
cheer  participants  on 

Though  they  always  fit  into 
the  limelight,  the  women  who 
participate  in  gymnastics 
meets  every  week  are  only  half 
of  the  team.  The  other  half 
consists  of  dedicated 
teammates  who  sit  on  the 
benches  every  meet  and  cheer 
on  the  participants  for  all  of 
their  effort. 

People  like  Karyn  Heiney 
and  Kari  Rietdorf  stuck  with 
the  team,  even  though  they 
spent  a  great  deal  of  their  time 
nursing  their  own  injuries  and 
helping  others  cope  with  their 
own. 

Great  applause  should  also 
go  to  sophomores  Jeanine 
Russell  and  Becky  Cummings 
who  were  instrumental  in 
defeating  all  other  competitors 
for  the  Sectional  crown. 

Thrill  continues  on 

The  real  thrill  of  gymnastics 
started  with  the  exceptional 
talent  of  Russian  competitor 
Olga  Korbut  —  and  it 
continues  on,  now,  in  the 
hearts  of  Trojan  fans. 

Congratulations,  once  more, 
to  every  member  of  the 
Elmhurst  Girls'  gymnastics 
team,  you  are  someone  to  be 
proud  of,  and  the  fans  are 
definitely  proud  of  you. 


with  a  time  of  3:51.  Running  for 
Elmhurst  in  this  event  were  Rick 
Knuth,  Terry  Kirtz,  Dale  Pine,

Smith  and  Terry  Kirtz  in  the  60- 
yard  dash.  Dale  Pine  in  the  70- 
yard  high  hurdles  and  300-yard 


dash,  Titus  Underwood  in  the 
long  jump,  and  Dan  Henderson  in 
the  shot  put.

All  of  the  girls  were  practicing 
hard  on  floor,  on  vault,  uneveos,  and 
beam. 

Their  oervee  were  racked  to  the 
point  of  exhaustion,  but  they  were 
dedicated  to  their  team. 

The  gymnastB,  now  ready,  braced 
themselves  for  the  meet- 
the  sectional  test  was  yet  to  come... 

and  then  they  came  home  with 
tears  in  their  eyes,  and  a  beautiful 
trophy  that  said, 

"NUMBER  ONEI" 
Yes,  the  Trojans  ARE  number 
one!  On  Tuesday,  March  16,  the 
beginning  Elmhurst  gymnasts,  led 
by  sophomores  Becky  Cummings, 
Terry  Whittenberger,  Darla  Taper, 
Pam  Riecke,  and  Kathy  Murray, 
snatched  Sectional  victory  from  the 
hands  of  Wayne  by  .15  of  a  point, 
Wayne  with  61.5  and  Elmhurst  with 
61.65 

For  the  first  time  in  the  three-year 
history  of  the  Elmhurst  gymnastics 
team,  the  Trojans  brought  home  the 
1976  I.H.S.A.A.  Girls  Gymnastic 
Sectional  Trophy! 

Placing  number  one  in  all-around 
competition  was  Becky  Cummings 
with  a  total  score  of  23.15. 

Girls  taking  first  or  second  in  the 
sectional  meets  will  be  eligible  for 
the  regional  tournament  on  March 
26  at  Wes  Del  High  School.  From 
Elmhurst,  Becky,  along  with  Terry 
and  Darla,  will  be  competing  in  the 
regional  tourney. 
Intermediates  first  too 

"We  won!"  was  the  scream  from 
the  Trojans  Wednesday  night  after 
the  nerve-racking  wait.for  the  team 
scores  to  be  announced.  The 
question  was  whether  Elmhurst  or 
Wayne  won  the  13-school 
competition.  And  the  answer  was 
Elmhurst. 

The  intermediate  Elmhurst 
gymnasts,  Katy  Young,  Jeanine 
Russell,  Betty  Carrion,  Lori 
McCleneghen.  and  Sheril 

Hornberger,  also  snatched  the 
sectional  victory  from  the  Wayne 
Generals,  this  time  by  a  2.15  margin, 
Ehnhurst  57.25  and  Wayne  55.10. 
Coming  in  third  was  South  Adams 
with  48.40. 

Elmhurst's  coach,  Marty  Bums, 
was  heard  to  have  said  on  the  way 
home  from  Bellmont,  "You  guys  are 
all  something  else;  1  think  I'll  keep 
ya!  " 

Although  tired  from  a  two-night 
sectional  meet,  the  Trojans  could  be 
heard  screaming  out  the  windows  of 
the  bus,  "We're  No.  1,  second  to 
NONE!!!"  with  a  trophy  in  hand  to 
back  up  their  statement. 

The  girls  going  to  regionals  from 
the  intermediate  team  are  as 
follows:  sophomore  Jeanine  Russell, 
senior  Betty  Carrion,  and  juniors 
Lori  McCleneghen,  Katy  Young,  and 
Sheril  Hornberger. 


Junior  Karyn  Heiney  and  senior 
Linda  Smyser  competed  for  the 
optional  level.  Karyn  placed  first  in 
ail-around  with  a  score  of  28.70. 
Linda  took  fourth  on  the  flooor  with 
a  6.20  score.

As  the  last  of  February  and  the  first  of  March  approach,  the 
baseball  freak  is  unleashed  from  his  winter  cocoon.  I  am  no 
different.  I  rushed  down  to  the  Waynedale  Pharmacy,  bought  a 
"Street  and  Smith's"  baseball  magazine,  borrowed  a  "Popular 
Sports"  magazine  from  a  friend,  and  got  out  my  March  and  April 
editions  of  "Baseball  Digest. " 

After  reading  all  this  baseball  material,  I'm  going  to  make  my 
pennant  predictions. 

East 

1 .  Boston 

2.  New  York 

3.  Baltimore 

4.  Cleveland 

5.  Detroit 

6.  Milwaukee 
In  the  American  League  East,  I  see  Boston  running  away  with 

the  East  Division  title.  They  have  the  best  hitting  in  the  majors  in 
"MVP"  and  "Rookie  of  the  Year"  Fred  Lynn  along  with  Jim  Rice 
and  Carlton  Fisk.  In  addition  to  their  great  hitting,  Boston  picked 
up  Fergie  Jenkins  117-18)  from  Texas  to  bolster  an  already  very 
good  pitching  staff  of  Rick  Wise  (19-12),  Luis  Tiant  (18-14)  and  Bill 
Lee  (17-9).  Barring  injuries  and  assuming  that  Lynn  and  Rice  will 
live  up  to  last  year's  potential.  New  York  and  Baltimore  will  not 
come  close  to  touching  Boston. 

The  American  League  West  could  be  a  very  interesting  division 
to  watch  as  the  year  progresses.  Going  against  all  the  baseball 
writers  from  whom  I've  seen  forecasts,  I  am  picking  the  Oakland 
A's  to  repeat  as  Western  Division  titlist.  All  the  baseall  experts  are 
picking  the  Kansas  City  Royals  to  replace  the  A's  as  "King  of  the 
Hill"  in  the  West,  but  then  again  I  picked  Oakland  last  year  over 
the  Toyals  and  was  correct.  Even  with  only  two  major  league 
caliber  pitchers.  Ken  Holtzman  and  Vida  Blue,  Oakland  still 
managed  to  win  98  games,  seven  more  than  K.C. 

Turning  to  the  National  League  East,  I  see  Pittsburgh's  Pirates 
just  edging  out  the  Philadelphia  Phillies.  Pittsburgh  has  a  well- 
balanced  team  where  five  of  the  first  six  men  in  their  batting  order 
will  more  than  likely  hit  20  or  more  home  runs.  Philadelphia,  on  the 
other  hand,  counts  on  three  men,  Greg  Luzinski  (34  HR's),  Mike 
Schmidt  (38  HR's),  and  Dick  AUen  (12  HR's)  in  119  games.  I  can 
see  Dick  Allen  hitting  a  few  more  HR's  but  I  can't  visualize 
Luzinski  and  Schmidt  matching  their  HR  outputs  from  last  year. 

It's  Cincinnati  and  Los  Angeles  in  the  West  again.  L.A. 
strengthened  itself  in  the  field  but  hurt  itself  depthwise  by  trading 
away  its  bench  strength.  L.  A.'s  team  comeback  will  be  riding  on  the 
comeback  of  ace  pitcher  Tommy  John  who  has  had  elbow  problems 
the  last  two  seasons.  Cincinnati,  on  the  other  hand,  has  proven 
pitching  along  with  its  great  hitting  and  fielding.  It's  going  to  be 
hard  for  L.A.  to  overcome  the  Joe  Morgans,  Tony  Perezes.  Johnny 
Benches,  and  Pete  Roses  that  the  Reds  boast,  but  they  should 
narrow  the  20-game  edge  Cincinnati  held  over  them  last  year.

advertising    division    is    one    of 


about  40  such  events  open  for

contests. 

At  the  Chicago  conference, 
5000  high  school  DECA  students

average  between  2'/j  and  3  hours 
to  complete. 

Elmhurst's  only  participant  in

Matthias,  a  teacher  at  Northrop 
High  School  and  also  DECA 
coordinator  in  Fort  Wayne.  Mrs. 
Nancy  Kelley,  Elmhurst's  DECA 
sponsor,  is  also  scheduled  to 
travel  to  the  Nationals  with 
Kevin.

AFS  holds  ear  wash 


The  American  Field  Service  is 
an  organization  set  up  to  provide 
an  opportunity  for  interested 
students  to  travel  abroad  to  a 
foreign  country. 

This  opportunity  is  made 
possible  through  many  money- 
making  projects.  Such  projects 
held  at  Elmhurst  so  far  this  year 
include  three  paper  drives  and  a 
donkey  basketball  game. 

On  Saturday,  Apr.  17,  the  club 
will  be  trying  their  hands  at 
something  different,  however. 
They  will  be  holding  a  car  wash 
from  10  a.m.  to  4  p.m.  at  the 
Rogers    Market    in    Waynedale. 


The  cost  is  SI  per  car. 

Two  other  events  are  being 
planned  to  help  make  money  for 
the  club.  Dates  and  times  for  one 
last  paper  drive  and  an 
international  discotheque  dance 
are  to  be  announced  soon.  The 
dance  will  incude  a  contest  where 
prizes  will  be  awarded  to  the 
wiimers. 

"Anyone  who  wants  to  help  out 
at  the  car  wash  is  more  than 
welcome.  Bring  rags  and  a 
bucket.  The  more  the  merrier," 
assured  Mr.  Michael  Rothe, 
sponsor  of  the  AFS  club. 


A  cast  of  187  Trojan 
underclassmen  will  be  honored  at 
the  aimual  Underclass  Honor 
Reception  to  be  held  in  the 
Elmhurst  cafeteria  tonight. 

Beginning  at  7  p.m.,  the 
reception  will  include  a  short 
summary  by  Principal  Richard 
Hostmeyer  and  an  awards 
ceremony  with  junior  and 
sophomore  class  sponsors 
emceeing  the  event.  The  program 
will  conclude  with  refreshments 
of  punch  and  cookies. 

Underclassmen  to  be  honored 
received  invitations  in  the  mail. 
Parents  were  also  invited  to  the 
event. 

The  senior  honor  program,  to 
be  held  Apr.  28,  has  in  the  past 
been  a  banquet  event,  but  will 
this  year  be  a  reception.  Senior 
students  who  have  remained  on 
either  the  Principal's  List  or  the 
Honor  Roll  for  the  first  semester 
will  be  honored.  Senior  class 
sponsor  Prue  Oberlin  will  be  on 
hand  to  award  senior  certificates 
and  pins. 


MOD  sets  'Super  Ride' 


In  continuing  their  fight  to 
overcome  Birth  Defects,  the 
Northeastern  Indiana  Chapter  of 
the  March  of  Dimes  has  set 
Saturday,  May  1,  for  their  1976 
"Super  Ride"  Bike-A-Thon.

will  gather  at  Rockhill  Park  on 
U.S.  Highway  24  West  for

Last  year's  200  bike 
enthusiasts  brought  in  nearly 
$4000.  It  is  hoped,  with  increased 
participation,  this  year's  Bike-A- 
Thon  will  bring  in  nearly  $5000  in 
collected  pledges. 

Participation  from  students

Trojan  Singers  tour  Europe 


Spring  Vacation  of  1976  will  be 
long  remembered  in  the  minds  of 
Elmhurat's  Trojan  Singers  choral 
group  for  they  boast  of  an  eight 
day  singing  tour  of  Germany, 
Switzerland,  and  Austria. 

Germany  first  stop  on  tour 

Leaving  from  Chicago's 
O'Hare  Airport  on  Thursday, 
Mar.  26,  the  group  of  21  singers 
and  21  adults  flew  directly  to 
Amsterdam,  Holland.  From  there 
they  went  on  to  Frankfurt, 
Germany,  where  they  met  their 
guide  for  the  entire  tour,  Clemens 
Bolwerk,  a  native  of  Amsterdam. 
During  the  tour,  the  group 
traveled  in  a  motorcar. 

The  singing,  group  was 
accompanied  by  choral  director 
Mr.  Al  Schmutz  and  his  wife. 
Also  going  from  Elmhurst  were 
Miss  Pamm  Hamm,  Miss  Sharon 
Dietrich,  and  1975  Elmhurst 
graduate  Dan  Isenbarger. 

The  first  stop  was  in 
Heidelburg,  Germany.  While  in 
that  country  the  singers  visited 
Dachau  Concentration  Camp 
which  was  the  final  stopping 
place  for  many  Jews. 

Group  receives  standing  ovations 

Performing  three  shows  while 
abroad,  their  first  show  was  in 
Jona,  Switzerland.  In  Austria, 
Trojan  Singers  sang  in  Mils,  a 
suburb  of  Innsbruck,  the  site  of 
this  year's  Winter  Olympics. 
Their  third  performance  was  in 


Aschflffenburg,  Germany . 

The  three  presentations 
included  songs  sung  in  German  as 
well  as  English.  The  group 
received  standing  ovations  in  all 
countries,  a  very  rare  action  by 
the  citizens  of  Europe.  During 
many  of  their  songs,  the 
audiences  also  clapped  along. 

At  the  first  show  in  Jona  was 
last  year's  Swiss  AFS  exchange 
student  to  EHS,  Corinne  Bucher. 
Corinne's  home  is  located  a  few 
miles  from  Jona. 

Switzerland  enjoyed  most 

When  they  weren't  performing, 
the  tour  group  spent  free  hours 
shopping  during  the  day  and 
dancing  in  discoteques  at  night. 
Many  had  the  opportunity  to 
sample  German  beer  and  wine 
while  there. 

Of  the  three  countries  visited, 
the  country  enjoyed  most  of  all 
was  Switzerland.  Conmienting  on 
this,  senior  Linda  Morsches  said, 
"The  mountains  were  absolutely 
unbelieveable."  The  average 
temperature  was  in  the  low  70's. 

On  Apr.  2,  after  eight  days  of 
on-the-go  touring,  the  group 
boarded  a  747  in  Amsterdam  for 
their  return  flight  to  the  United 
States.  With  them,  the  Trojan 
Singers  brought  the  souvenirs 
they  bought  as  well  as  the  many 
exciting  memories  of  their 
European  tour.

ugh  Saturday  evening,

produced  a  smooth-running 
weekend  of  jazz.

band    finished    at    around 
which    left    nine    hours    to 

the   day-long   high   school 
ie  festival.  Twenty  ensembles 


appeared  onstage  as  a  good-sized  crowd 
filtered  in  and  out  all  day. 

Three  judges  were  present  all  day  to 
comment  on  the  ensembles  .  .  .  Dave 
Sporny,  trombone;  Dave  Pavolka, 
trombone;  and  Jim  Edison,  trumpet.  The 
cafeteria  provided  food  and  snacks  to  the 
bands  all  day,  while  various  Elmhurst 
students  could  be  seen  peddling 
programs  everywhen  except  on  stage. 
Regular  Saturday  da  '  tickets  were  sold 
out,  and  hasty  sub  titutes  had  to  be 
found. 

Morse  heads  set-up  crew 

Backstage,  a  fine  set-up  crew, 
orchestrated  by  Mr.  John  Morse,  kept  the 
festival  on  schedule.  Lots  of  hard  work 
was  required  every  time  a  band  would  go 
on.  Student  guides  pushed  and  pulled 
various  bands  through  the  halls  to  warm 
up,  and  then  on  stage. 

At  the  end  of  competition,  North  Side 
High  School  became  the  sweepstakes 
band  that  would  play  that  night.  The 
honor  bands  were  Northrop,  Lawrence 
Central  of  IndianapoUs,  Bloomington 
North,  and  University  Middle  School  of 
Bloomington. 

That  night,  Mayor  Robert  Armstrong 
presented  the  sweepstakes  award  to 
North  Side,  and  then  was  followed  by 


Woody  Herman.  A  capacity  Saturday 
night  crowd  heard  North  Side,  Elmhurst, 
and  Thundering  Herd  present  three  hours 
of  jazz. 

Clinics  highlight  day 

During  the  day,  members  of  Woody's 
band  conducted  various  clinics  to 
members  of  competing  bands.  Musicians 
received  help  on  arranging, 
improvisation,  and  general  information 
on  individual  instruments.  They  were 
informal  sessions  in  which  many  areas  of 
music  were  discussed. 

The  weekend  also  presented  a  tribute  of 
thanks  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Randy  Brugh. 
Friday  night,  the  Elmhurst  Jazz  Band 
presented  a  plaque  of  appreciation  to  Mr. 
Brugh  for  his  dedication  and  a  bouquet 
of  roses  to  Mrs.  Brugh.  A  few  minutes 
were  taken  to  express  this  thanks  and 
respect. 

Soloists  of  all  kinds  were  recognized 
during  the  day,  and  awards  were 
presented  along  with  the  huge  honor  band 
trophies.  In  total,  the  success  of  the 
festival  was  evidenced  by  the  reactions 
and  sizes  of  the  crowds  all  during  the 
festival.  Everything  from  programs  to 
ticket  sales  worked  out  well,  and  EJF  '76 
became  a  successful  part  of  history.

Herman  defies 
stereo^KP^s 


high-lei/^el 
enerqK 


'by  Laura  Bowen  and  Nicholas  Smith. 


by  Barb  Harman 

At  62,  Woody  Herman  seems  to  defy 
all  the  stereotj^es  that  his  age 
conjectures;  he  is  not  mellowing  out  or 
slowing  down.  On  the  contrary,  the 
great  jazz  clarinetist  continues  to 
maintain  an  extremely  high  level  of 
both  energy  and  artistry  as  he  and  his 
young  band,  "The  Thundering  Herd" 
proved  Saturday  night  at  Elmhurst's 
Seventh  Annual  Jazz  Festival. 

One  of  the  most  famous  quotes 
about  Herman  comes  from  a  West 
Coast  writer  who  said,  "Woody  has 
that  marvelous  ability  to  turn  on  the 
kids  of  the  kids  he  turned  on  25  years 
ago.*'  By  the  looks  of  Saturday's  audi- 
ence, he  turned  on  not  only  the  kids  of 
the  kids,  but  some  of  the  kids  them- 
selves! 
Band  varies  styles 

The  performance  began  with  a 
number  called  "The  Four  Brothers" 
which  featured  the  band's  sax  section. 
Although  this  number  and  a  few  others 
were  in  "swing"  style,  others  ranged 
from  jazz-rock  (Joe  Farrell's "Penny 
Arcade")  to  a  fusion  of  jazz  and 
classical  (Foray's  "Pavane").  By 
playing  everything  from  Coltrane  to 
Miles  Davis  to  Chick  Corea,  Herman 
manages  to  appeal  to  all  kinds  of  jazz 
lovers. . 

Finding  a  band  capable  of  handling^ 
so  many  styles  would  seem  a  difficult 


task  indeed,  but  the  band  that  Herman 
has  assembled  takes  care  of  the  need 
and  more.  Lead  trumpeter  Jeff  Davis 
has  a  range  that  would  make  even 
Maynard  envious  and  tenor  sax  player 
Gary  Anderson  also  plays  flute  and 
arranges  for  the  band.  Trombonist  Jim 
Pew  is  probably  among  the  best  in  the 
world,  and  Herman's  playing  by  itself 
is  probably  hot  enough  to  melt  the 
stage. 

One  of  the  funniest  numbers  the 
band  played  was  "Caldonia,  What 
Makes  Your  Big  Head  So  Hard?"  in 
which  Herman  sang  (not  at  all  badly) 
some  of  the  most  insane  lyrics  in  jazz. 
It  was  a  song  typical  of  earlier  brands 
of  jazz,  but  the  audience  reaction  was 
just  as  strong  to  it  as  its  reaction  was 
to  Chick  Corea's  "La  Fiesta",  a  much 
newer  chart. 

Saturday  night's  performance 
testified  not  only  to  the  stajang  power 
of  jazz,  not  only  to  the  talent  and 
virtuosity  of  jazz,  but  also  to  the  great 
influence  of  one  man:  Woody  Herman. 
He  has  managed  to  stay  a  major  figure 
in  music  for  almost  40  years  by  staying 
in  the  mainstream  of  jazz,  searching 
out  and  finding  great  talent,  arid  by 
maintaining  his  own  sense  of  discipUne 
to  lead  his  band  well  and  to  play  with 
as  much  style,  fluidity  and  out  and  out 
joy  as  he  undoubtedly  did  ^t  the  age  of 
25. 


S^m 


Editorials  are  generally 
critical,  however,  this  time,  the 
ADVANCE  would  like 'to  turn 
the  tables  and  hand  out  a  great 
deal  of  well  deserved  praise  to  the 
music  department  at  Elmhurst. 
After  seven  fantastic  jazz 
festivals  (and  the  monetary 
proceeds  therefrom},  the  music 
department  is  alive  and  kicking 
while  in  many  other  schools  it  is 
left  to  dwindle  out  and  take  the 
financial  burden  away  from  the 
school  system. 

Elmhurst's  jazz  festival  pays 
for       new       uniforms,        new 


iBstruments,  new  music,  band 
^  tours,  buses  and  programs. 
^Without  the  festival,  the  choir 
might  be  singing  the  same  tunea 
they  sang  ten  years  ago  and  the 
band  might  be  wearing  moldy 
jackets  with  moth  holes. 

So,  to  the  directors  of  this 
year's  festival,  to  all  the  parents 
and  students,  trophy  sponsors 
and  patrons,  the  ADVAN^XE 
thanks  you  for  giving  Elmhurst  a 
boost  and  a  great  high  from  the 
fantastic  jazz  you've  given  time 
and  money  to  bring  us. 


Gymnasts  win  praise, 
pa  system  fails 


To  the  editor: 

In  the  last  issue  of  the  ADVANCE  Marilynn 
Scherer's  article  "From  the  Sidelines",  she 
commended  both  Karyn  Heiney  and  Kari  Rietdorf 
for  bouncing  back  off  injuries.  Well,  Marilynn  failed 
to  mention  a  certain  girl  who  suffered  through  a 
very  aggrav|ating  season.  During  a  basketball  gajne, 
she  put  her  wrist  through  a  window  and  cut  it  up. 
She  knew  after  this  she  was  really  out  for  the 
season,  but  she  still  hung  in  there  and  in  the  final 
gymnastics'  meet,  she  competed  and,  though  she 
didn't  place,  she  showed  plenty  of  guts  in  going  out 
there  and  doing  this.  I  think  it  was  overlooked,  and 
I  thought  she  should  be  recognized.  She's  Mary 
Hudelson. 

TL 


To  the  editor: 

How  can  the  student  body  be  expected  to  behave 
when  at  assembhes  we  can't  hear  the  speaker  or 
singers?  Two  examples  out  of  many  ai^e:  at  the 
Christmas  assembly,  the  choir  was  unheard  or  heard 
at  a  minimal  (the  speakers  were  on,  meaning  that 
anywhere  in  the  gym  you  should  have  heard  them). 
To  verify  that  something  was  wrong,  at  the  end  the 
choir  sang  a  song  where  the  director  himself  sang, 
we  heard  him  loud  and  clear,  but  then  we  couldn't 
hear  the  choir. 

Another  example  is  the  recent  assembly  on  the 
twenty-fifth  of  March.  Mr.  Goss  took  three-fourths 
of  the  assembly  just  getting  a  way  to  hear  the 
singers. 

As  I  said,  these  two  examples  were  from  a  list  of 
many.  I  would  like  to  see  an  improvement  or  at  least 
a  good  explanation. 


To  the  editor; 

I  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  thank 
both  the  girls'  gymnastics  team  and  the 
administration  for  the  great  assembly  they  g&ve  the 
student  body  on  Friday,  March  26.  I  don't  think 
I've  ever  seen  Ehnhurst  react  so  positively  to  a 
convocation  and  despite  the  few  proverbial  bad 
apples,  I've  yet  to  see  as  much  respect  shown  to  a 
group  of  our  students. 

I  must  admit  that  at  first  I  underestimated  our 
administration  —  I  expected  to  see  not  only  the 
gymnastics  team  but  the  golf  and  baseball  teams  as 
well.  I  was  really  pleased  that  an  enture  program 
was  given  to  a  girls'  sports  team  —  a  team  that 
really  deserved  it,  too.  I  really  feel  that  I  should 
apologize  for  expecting  the  worst  considering  the 
program  was  one  of  the  best  we've  had. 

So,  thanks  again  to '  the  girls  and  to  the 
administration  for  a  really  great  assembly.  Well 
done!

Landrigan's  performance  on 
the  mound  prompted  second 
baserAan  Phil  Gutman  to 
comment,  "I  think  that  Elmhurst 
could  have  a  much  better  pitching 
staff  than  most  expected." 
Elmhurst  ace  pitcher  Terry  Smith 
( with  a  combined  record  of  23- 1  in 
his  first  two  years)  also  observed 
that  he  felt  senior  catcher  Stan 
Sorgen  had  called  pitches  well 
and  that  "we  played  a  good  solid 
all-around  game. ' ' 

Two  days  later,  however,  the 
Trojans  didn't  look  so  good.  They 
traveled  to  Decatur  to  play  the 
Bellmont  Braves.  Although  the 
Trojans  finally  did  escape  with  a 
hard-earned  6-5  victory,  it 
eventually  took  a  super-game- 
ending  defensive  play  by  senior 
first  baseman  Stan  Prince  to  lock 
up  the  victory.  Prince's  shovel- 
like catch  of  a  throw  from  third 
saved  the  Trojans  from  what 
could  have  been  a  fatal  inning. 

Senior  Terry  Smith,  pitching 
his  first  game  of  the  season,  was 
hampered  by  sub-freezing 
weather  in  allowing  an  unusual  5 


runs  m  one  game. 

On  Saturday  the  Trojans 
visited  Adams  Central  for  a 
double  header.  They  came  away 
with  a  split,  winning  the  first  11- 
4,  but  losing  the  second  10-5. 

The  opener  was  really  much 
closer  than  it  appeared.  Going 
into  the  final  inning  the  score  was 
only  6-4,  but  a  five-run  seventh, 
including  a  homenin  by  shortstop 
junior  Kenny  Geisleman,  put  the 
game  away.  Junior  Ron 
Culpepper  also  contributed  a  two- 
run  homer  earlier  in  the  game. 
The  winning  pitcher  was  junior 
Brian  Russell,  but  he  got  help  in 
the  sixth  and  seventh  innings 
from  senior  Dan  Landrigan. 

The  second  half  of  the  double 
header  was  really  a  one-inning 
game.  Both  teams  scored  all 
except  one  of  their  nms  in  the 
wild  fourth  inning  that  saw 
Elnlhurst  take  a  4-0  lead  only  to 
be  blitzed  with  9  runs.  Brian 
Russell  followed  up  with 
Elmhurst's  only  other  run  in  the 
game,  a  home  nm  in  the  late 
stages  of  the  game.

Elmhurst  baseball  could  be 
the  surprise  of  the  year.  Coach 
Bill  Derbyshire  surprised 
many  people  last  Wednesday 
by  starting  his  No.  2  pitcher, 
senior  Dan  Landrigan,  instead 
of  ace  pitcher  senior  Terry 
Smith.  (Terry,  who  sports  an 
outstanding  23-1  record  over 
the  past  two  years,  is  the  best 
pitcher  in  northern  Indiana, 
and  has  had  baseball  scouts 
looking  him  over  for  the  past 
two  years.)  Dan,  who  pitched 
sparsely  last  year,  came  out 
and  threw  a  blazing  fastball  for 
a  strike,  starting  the  1976 
Elmhurst  baseball  campaign 
out  on  a  positive  note. 

The  game  progressed 
uneventfully  for  Columbia  City 
as  the  Trojan  bats  showed  no 
mercy.  By  the  bottom  of  the 
fifth  inning,  Elmhurst  scored 
their  tenth  run  and  Tom 
(Pinky)  Norwalt,  the 
homeplate  umpire,  invoked  the 
ten-run  rule  giving  Elmhurst  a 
10-0  victory. 

The  bright  spot  of  the  game 
for  Coach  Derbyshire  had  to  be 
the  brilliant  pitching  of 
Landrigan.  In  five  innings  Dan 
struck  out  six,  walked  three, 
and  gave  up  only  one  hit,  a 
third-inning  two-out  grounder, 
between  short  and  third.  The 


zip  on  Dan's  fastball  was 
exceptional  and  surprised  me 
very  much  since  watching  him 
pitch  last  year.  Junior  Brian 
Russell  and  senior  Phil 
Gutman  led  the  eight-hit 
attack  with  two  hits  apiece. 
Brian,  a  power-hitting  right- 
fielder,  boomed  two  doubles, 
one  a  long  towering  drive  over 
the  center  fielder's  head. 

This  year  looks  like  another 
winning  season  for  Coach 
Derbyshire,  but  the  key  to 
another  sectional 
championship  may  prove  to  be 
his  bench  strength.  Some 
managerial  mistakes  cost 
Coach  Derbyshire  two  would- 
be  starters,  who  would  have 
beefed  up  the  already  potent 
Trojan  hitting  attack,  and  a 
fine  reserve  catcher.  In  my 
opinion,  Coach  Derbyshire  is 
still  growing  as  a  baseball 
coach.  He  is  still  learning  when 
it  comes  to  handling  young 
men.  He  has  been  blessed  the 
last  three  years  with  a  good 
crop  of  young  baseball  players 
but  still  can  miss  a  lot  of 
potential  talent.  This  comes 
with  experience,  and  I  believe, 
as  an  avid  student  of  the  game, 
that  Coach  Derbyshire  will 
mature  into  one  of  the  finest 
coaches  in  the  area  in  the  next 
five  years.

Last  Thursday  evening, 
Barbara  Walters  hosted  a 
"Women  of  the  Year"  telecast 
on  the  NBC  network.  Though 
there  were  several  women 
honored,  Billie  Jean  King 
stands  out  in  this  reporter's 
mind  as  truly  a  woman  of  the 
year— every  year, 

VSC-a 

controversial  toumameDt 

In  1971-,  the  Virginia  Slims 
Circuit,  which  is  a  tennis 
tournament  for  professional 
women  tennis  players,  was 
conceived  by  the  producers  of 
Virginia  Slims  and  a  group  of 
tennis  players  headed  by  Ms. 
King. 

Six  years  ago,  the  total  prize 
money  awarded  was  $365,000 
and  the  programs  involved  22 
events.  This  year,  the  VSC 
awarded  $900,000  for 
participants  in  11  events.  Quite 
a  long  way  to  come  -  whether 
you  talk  about  men  or  women 
in  sports. 

To  start  a  new  tournament 
such  as  this,  an  athlete  spends 
several  hours  in  preparation, 
puts  her  career  on  the  line  by 
supporting  such  a  venture,  and 
takes  the  final  criticism  when 
the  program  is  viewed  by  the 
television  audience. 

King  continues 
fight  for  equality 

When    the    Virginia    Slims 


(".  "^ 


'^'"b^   Ctr  Vks  r\\^  not 


Circuit  was  conceived,  several 
of  the  outstanding  players  did 
not  play,  refusing  to  venture 
into  something  that  was  not 
100  percent  sure  thing.  In 
1971,  Chris  Evert,  Margaret 
Court,  and  Yvonne  Goolagong 
did  not  play,  but  the  last  few 
years,  the  VS  circuit  has  meant 
money  to  every  one  of  the 
above  athletes. 

Ms.  King,  however,  did  not 
stop  at  helping  to  win  the 
financial  end  for  equality  in 
professional  sports.  She  also 
put  out  the  effort  for  pride  in 
walloping  Bobby  Riggs  in  the 
controversial  challenge  match. 
People  now  are  saying," Well, 
sure  she  could  beat  him  -  she's 
a  professional,  and  she's  a  lot 
younger,  etc."  losing  sight  of 
the  fact  that  it  was  Bobby 
Riggs  who  challenged  Billie 
Jean  King,  not  the  other  way 
around. 

Ms.  King  has  also  ventured 
into  the  world  of  broadcasting 
as  many  retired  athletes  do. 

Magazine  recognizes 
women  athletes 

Women  Sports  Magazine 
has  also  hit  the  world  of  Billie 
Jean  King.  Serving  as 
pubUsher,  Ms.  King  has  been 
responsible  for  one  of  the  few 
magazines  that  deal  solely 
with  the  lives  of  women 
athletes  -  recognizing  them  for 
the  effort  and  time  they  take  to 
please  the  almost  always 
absent  public.  Names  like  Lucy 
Harris,  Karen  Logan  .  .  .  and 
more  popular  stars  like  Olga 
Korbut  and  Sandra  Palmer. 
Ms.  King  not  only  plays  the 
game  to  win,  but  she  invests 
her  wiimings  right  back  into 
the  kind  of  life  that  made  her  a 
wirmer. 

Controversial,  yes  -  strong, 
yes.  But  the  kind  of  woman 
that  it  takes  to  get  things 
done.  Billie  Jean  King  is  the 
woman  of  the  year  ,  every 
year  -  at  least  in  the  heart  of 
one  reporter.

Reception  honors  66  top  seniors 


by  Marilynn  Scherer 

Year  in  and  year  out,  people  are 
awarded  for  their  particular  skills 
or  abilities  in  all  walks  of  life,  and 
1976  at  Elmhurst  High  School 
proves  to  be  no  different  as  66 
seniors  were  awarded  for 
scholastic  achievement  last 
evening. 

Reception  to  feature  val,  sal 

Mrs.  Prue  Oberlin  served  as  the 
Mistress  of  Ceremonies  at  the 
hour-long  reception  featuring  the 
valedictorian,  Wesley  Byrne,  and 
salutatorian,  David  Beutler. 

The  seniors  were  placed  and 
awarded  in  three  separate 
categories.  First,  those  students 
earning  a  career  average  between 
9.0  -  9.4  were  awarded 
certificates.  Seniors  with 
averages  between  9.5  -  10.4 
received  certificates  and  pins,  and 
those  students  earning  a  10.5  and 
over  average  were  honored  with 
certificates,  pins,  and  short 
speeches.

Beadie,  David  Beutler,  Wesley 
Byrne,  Karen  Crippen,  Jay  Fox,

Horstmeyer       awarded       the 


Pennington  trophy  to  the

Elmhurst's  underclassmen 
were  also  honored  in  a  reception 
held  Apr.  14  in  the  EHS  cafeteria. 

Highlighting  the  awards 
ceremony  was  the  presentation  of 
this  year's  Tri  Kappa  Award  to 
Elmhurst's  four  recipients. 
Presented  by  Mr.  John  Sinks,  the 


certificate  and  pin  awturds  went  to 
juniors  Michelle  Armstrong,  Bob 
Bracht,  Chad  Cline,  and  Tod 
Huntley. 

This  recognition,  sponsored  by 
the  Tri  Kappa  Chapter  of  Fort 
Wayne,  is  presented  annually  to 
the  top  juniors  with  grade  point 
averages  scoring  in  the  top  1%  of 
their  class.

torian and  Salutatorian  of  the  1976  graduation  chss.  At  top  left  is  Valedictorian  Wes  Byrne.  Below  Wes  is  the

Two    awarded   Merit 

The  National  Merit 

Scholarship  Program  has 
awarded  senior  Matt  Gary  a  four 
year  corporate  sponsored  scholar- 
ship. Matt's  is  being  sponsored 
by  the  Phelps  Dodge  Corpora- 
tion. 

Myers  also  granted  scholarship 

The  scholarship  will  be 
provided  over  a  four  year  period 
of  schooling.  A  maximum  of 
$1  500  will  be  presented  each 
year,  the  exact  amount  depending 
on  what  the  college  costs'  range 
is. 

Matt  will  be  using  his  award 
when  he  enrolls  at  Purdue 
University  in  Lafayette  next  fall. 

Senior  Verne  Myers  also  has 
been  presented  a  four  year  college 
sponsored  scholarship  from  the 
National  Merit  Scholarship 
Program.  Verne  is  one  of  1,500 
students  throughout  the  U.S. 
receiving  this  monetary  award^ 


He  will  be  granted  the  same 
amount  of  money  in  the 
scholarship  form  of  the  four  year 
college  period  as  Matt  will  get. 

Finalists  await  decision 

Verne  will  become  a  freshman 
next  semester  at  Indiana 
University  in  Bloomington.  His 
award  was  announced  last 
evening  at  the  Senior  Honors 
Reception. 

Both  Matt  and  Verne  met  the 
requirements  set  by  the  NMSC 
by  rating  with  high  scores  on  the 
PSAT  and  SAT  tests. 

Aside  from  the  two  scholarship 
winners,  seniors  Wes  Byrne, 
Yvette  Morrill,  Dave  Beutler, 
Tom  Sonday,  and  Don  Wenger 
are  finalists  in  the  program. 
These  five  are  still  waiting  to  hear 
whether  or  not  they  have  received 
scholarships.  From         the 

approximately  50,000  finalists, 
3800  receive  awards.

Kenton  returns  for  show 


The  legendary  musician,  Stan 
Kenton,  featured  in  the  1974 
Elmhurst  Jazz  Festival,  will 
make  a  reappearance  here  on  the 
evening  of  May  20.  Tickets  for 
this  single  performance  are  on 
sale  now  from  any  band  or  choir 
member.  The  cost  of  the  tickets 
are  $4.00  -  general  admission,  and 
$5.00  for  reserved  seats. 

Kenton  widely  acclaimed 

Stan  Kenton  and  his  orchestra 
offered  to  appear  for  one  night 
due  to  an  opening  in  his  schedule 


in  the  Elmhurst  auditorium.  They 
are  greatly  admired  by  all  for 
winning  wide  acclaim  from  the 
public  and  press.  Stan  Kenton 
alone  was  the  third  person  elected 
to  Downbeat  Magazine's  Hall  of 
Fame  following  Louis  Armstrong 
and  Duke  Ellington. 

Young  people  discover  jazz 

As  one  of  America's  most 
famous  musician  and  orchestra 
leaders,  his  reputation  has  always 
been  somewhat  controversial.  He 
says,  "I've  been  called  a  pioneer, 
but  I've  also  been  called  a  fool  for 
tampering  with  the  familiar."  In 
his  work  with  the  music  students 
in  high  school  and  universities,  he 
hopes  to  bring  about  a  new 
direction  to  music  education.  Mr. 
Kenton  feels  that  the  younger 
people  should  be  exposed  to  all 
musical  forms  and  the  challenge 
of  change.  "Our  audiences  are 
changing,  too,"  Kenton  says,  "we 
have  always  had  an  enthusiastic 
following  of  the  over-forty  group 
who  remember  the  band  from  its 
early  days.  Now  we  are  seeing 
more  teens  and  twenties  who  are 
discovering  jazz  for  themselves 
and  who  like  it.  The  rock-oriented 
younger  people  are  changing; 
they  are  finding  that  there  is 
more  excitement  than  they 
realized  in  music  of  substance 
such  as  ours." 


Leaders  try  out  tonight 


After  school  today  in  the  boys' 
gym  will  be  the  final  round  of  try- 
outs  for  the  varsity  and  reserve 
cheerleading  squads  for  next 
year's  sports  program.  The  first 
round  of  judging  was  yesterday 
afternoon  in  the  gym. 

The  competition  is  open  to 
sophomores  and  juniors  as  well  as 
interested  ninth  graders  from 
Elmhurst's  two  feeder  schools, 
_Kekionga  and  Portage. 

At  the  end  of  today's  tryouts, 
six  varsity  and  six  reserve  cheer- 
leaders will  be  selected  from  those 
receiving  the  highest  scores  on 
the  tabulated  ballots. 

During  the  two  judging 
sessions,  the  prospective  cheer- 
leaders are  required  to  do  a  cheer 
in  a  group  of  two  or  three  other 
participants,  an  individual  cheer, 
a  gymnastics  stunt,  the  splits, 
and  three  jumps. 

The  qualities  the  panel  of 
judges  will  be  looking  for  in  each 
of  those  trying  out  are  skills, 
poise,    personality,    enthusiasm. 


and  leadership. 

The  results  of  the  cheerleading 
tryouts  will  be  announced 
sometime  during  the  school  day 
tomorrow. 

Gllbertos 
perform 

On  May  4,  the  Gilbertos  will  be 
presenting  their  act  at  a  morning 
assembly.

Trojan  linhsmen 
outsuiing  Redskins

The  Elmhurst  golf  team 
achieved  its  first  victory  this  year 
with     a     seven     stroke     win 


JUNIOR  TIM  SPRINGER 

PRACTICES  his  golf  swing  on  a  rainy 

day  in  the  Elmhurst  gym. 


over  the  North  Side  Redskins  on 
Thursday,  April  11,  at  Colonial 
Oaks  Country  Club.  In  the  same 
meet  the  linksmen  were  defeated 
by  Bishop  Luers  and  the  Snider 
Panthers. 

On  April  15,  the  Trojans  were 
outhit  by  a  strong  Warsaw  team. 
The  match  was  played  at 
Brookwood  with  the  final  score 
Warsaw.  160  and  Elmhurst,  173. 
Senior  Mark  Newell  led  the 
Trojan  scoring  with  a  40. 
Following  Mark  were  juniors  Tim 
Springer  and  Steve  Sims  with  42 
and  47  respectively.  One 
sophomore.  Marty  Rifkin,  has 
made  the  starting  five.  Marty 
turned  in  a  fine  score  of  44  for  the 
Trojans. 

Five  days  later  the  Trojans 
found  themselves  at  Foster  Park. 
Bishop  Dwenger  and  Harding 
outs  hot  Elmhurst  by  a  long 
margin,  Dwenger  with  156, 
Harding  163,  and  Elmhurst,  a 
second  consecutive  173.  Springer 


Junior  Tim  Springer 


was  medalist  for  the  Trojans  with 
41.  followed  by  Rifkin  42,  Newell 
44,  and  sophomore  Matt 
Vonderan  46. 

After  three  straight  defeats, 
the  Trojans  were  ready  for  at 
least  one  win.  And  their  wish 
came  true.  Two  days  after  they 
were  bombarded  by  Dwenger  and 
Harding,  the  Men  of  Troy  finally 
found  themselves  in  the  winning 
column   for   the   first   time   this 


Diamondmen  win  over  Snider; 
surge  toward  sectional  crown 


year.  Struggling  through  the 
round  with  rain  falling  at  times 
and  "hurricane"  like  winds,  the 
Trojans  defeated  North  Side  172 
to  179.  But  despite  the  victory, 
the  Trojans  had  consequences  to 
suffer  also.  They  were  beaten  by 
Bishop  Luers  Emd  Snider  the 
same  match.  Leading  again  for 
Elmhurst  was  Springer  at  42, 
followed  by  Rifkin  and  Sims  at  43 
and  Newell  44.

Opening  with  a  5-4  win  over  the 
Snider  Panthers,  the  baseball 
team  got  off  on  the  right  foot 
tpwards  an  SAC  championship. 
Last  season  both  Elmhurst  and 
Bishop  Dwenger  finished  with  a 
6-2  SAC  record.  Dwenger.  via  a  6- 
5  win  over  the  Trojans  earlier  in 
the  season,  claimed  possession  of 
the  SAC  crown,  leaving  Elmhurst 
in  a  lonely  second  place. 

Expected  to  give  the  Trojans  a 
battle   for   the   SAC   crown   are 


Wayne,  Bishop  Luers,  Northrop 
and  South  Side.  Luers  is  the  only 
area  team  ranked  in  the  high 
school  coaches'  pre-season  poll. 

Bishop  Luers  had  the  Trojans 
number  last  year  beating  them 
twice,  both  being  very  crucial 
games.  The  first  was  a  7-3 
drubbing  which  figured  heavily  in 
Elmhurst's  second  place  SAC 
finish.  The  most  critical  defeat 
came  during  the  final  game  of 
regionals  which  saw  the  Knights 
again  defeat  Elmhurst 


convincingly,  9-5. 

Last  Tuesday's  game  against 
Snider  saw  the  Panthers  hit 
senior  Terry  Smith  hard.  Al- 
though their  two  hits  in  the  first 
inning  accounted  for  only  one  run. 
Snider  batters  sent  a  couple  of 
hard  hit  fly  balls  to  the  outfield. 
The  Trojans  countered  with  two 
runs,  both  driven  in  by  Terry. 
Ron  Culpepper  and  Stan  Prince 
had  previously  walked,  advancing 
to  second  and  third  before  Terry's 
sharp  single  drove  both  of  them 
in. 

Good  fielding  in  the  second  and 
third  innings  kept  the  Panthers 
shut  out.  The  next  inning,  the 
fourth,  almost  proved  disastrous 
for  the  Trojans  as  Snider  loaded 
the  bases  with  a  hit  and  two 
walks.  Terry  really  bore  down  and 
struck  out  the  first  batter,  much 
to  the  pleasure  of  the  fans.  Taking 
a  little  pressure  off  the  infield 
with  his  first  strike  out,  all  Terry 
needed  was  a  ground  ball  for  a 
double  play  to  get  out  of  the 
inning.  Instead.  Terry  showing 
his  great  pitching  potential 
struck  out  the  next  two  batters. 
Three  batters  in  a  row  struck  out, 
saving  the  Trojans'  2-1  lead. 

The  fifth  passed  uneventfully, 
with  both  sides  going  down  fairly 
easily.  The  sixth  inning  saw  some 
excellent  fielding  with  Elmhurst 

Senior  Pt\H  Gutman 


n 


senior  Stan  Prince's  diving  catch 
of  a  Panther  foul  ball  highhghting 
the  Trojan's  fielding  play. 

In  the  bottom  of  the  sixth 
Elmhurst  struck  for  three  runs. 
Don  Culpepper's  run,  the  fifth 
and  final  run  for  the  Trojans, 
proved  to  be  the  winning  margin 
as  Snider  launched  a  three  run 
rally  in  the  top  of  the  seventh. 
Senior  Dan  Landrigan  reUeved 
Terry  with  two  out  in  the  top  of 
the  seventh  and  promptly  struck 
out  the  last  batter. 

The  Trojans  next  game  will  pit 
them  against  none  other  than 
Bishop  Luers  at  McMillen  Park 
today.  Saturday,  Elmhurst 
invites  Homestead  to  the  Trojan 
diamond  for  a  double-header  and 
a  hopeful  sweep.

Wih  ranked  Snider 


If  anyone  had  driven  past 
Elmhurst's  athletic  field  around  6 
p.m.  on  April  13,  he  would  have 
seen  one  Elmhurst  track  team 
going  wild  shouting,  "We're 
number  one!"  No,  they  hadn't 
won  the  state  meet,  but  they  had 
beaten  archrival  Snider,  rated 
fourteenth  in  the  state.  The

won  the  220  in  22.8.  In  the  440, 
senior  Rick  Knuth  ran  the 
distance  in  51.6  seconds  and 
junior  Tim  Lee  outdistanced  his 
opponents  in  the  880  by  running  a 
1:56.7.  Senior  Dave  Lewis  strode 
through  the  mile  in  4:35.0  and 
junior  Doug  Peters  threw  the 
shot  a  distance  of  52  feet  10 
inches. 

On  April  20,  the  Trojans 
competed  in  their  second  home 
meet  of  the  season.  The  Elmhurst

tallied  76  points  to  44  for 
Ehnhurst  and  39  for  South. 

The  highlights  of  the  meet  were 
Green's  double  victory  in  the  100 
and  220  and  Lee's  victory  in  the 
mile.  Green  nailed  the  100  in 
10.1  seconds  and  the  220  in  23.1 
seconds.  Lee  won  the  mile  in  a 
time  of  4:20.1.  Peters  was  a  victor 
for  Elmhurst,  winning  the 
shotput  with  52'6".

annual  North  Side  Relays  on 
April  17.  With  19  local  and  area 
teams  competing,  Elmhurst 
finished  a  respectable  eighth.

consisted  of  Lewis  (mile).  Smith 
{220),  Knuth  (440),  and  Lee  (880).

19th-ranked  Knights  rolled  up  74

year  the  student  council  is 
sponsoring  an  organized  after- 
prom.  It  will  be  held  at  the 
Goeglein's  Barn  on  the  Maysville

Stephanie  Wolever.  Karyn

prom  will  be  the  J.  Branam  Band. 
Variety  of  music  to  be  played 

"Considering  the  cost  of  the 
dinner  and  the  prom  for  the  guys, 
it  might  be  a  good  idea  for  the 
girls  to  suggest  that  they  buy  the 
after-prom  tickets.  It  would 
relieve  a  little  of  the  pressure  off 
the  guy  anyway,"  advised  Mrs. 
Susan  Anderson,  dean  of  girls. 

The  band  chosen  for  the  after- 
prom  can  play  a  variety  of  music. 
Depending  upon  what  the 
majority  of  the  crowd  wants,  the 
band  will  play  fast,  slow,  and 
square  dance  music.

certain  awards  can  be  eliminated 
from  this  year's  program. 


by  Nancy  Beadie 

Supposedly,  a  show  on  the  Beatles  which  is 
"one  of  the  largest  and  most  sophisticated 
multi-media  productions  in  the  world,"  was  in 
town  on  April  16,  17,  and  18,  but  in  reality, 
nothing  more  than  a  huge  rip-off  was 
performed  at  the  Embassy  that  week  end. 

Certainly  the  era  of  Beatle  mania  is  an 
■interesting  subject.  Few  events  or  people  in 
history  incited  as  much  excitement  as  the 
Beatles.  If  the  presentation  "Away  With 
Words"  would  have  shown  in  any  way  what  it 
was  Uke  to  be  one  of  those  screaming,  fainting, 
fans  or  to  be  a  star  of  John,  Paul,  George  and 
Ringo  proportions,  or  what  made  the  Beatles 
so  overwhelmingly  popular  with  the 
generation,  I  would  have  been  happy.  If  the 
show  would  merely  have  given  an  hour  and  a 
half  of  impressive  visual  effects  and  good 
sound,  I  would  have  been  satisfied.  As  it  was,  I 
left  the  theater  outraged  at  the  way  the 
audiences  had  been  cheated. 

With  29  projectors,  I'd  think  some  stunning 
stoney  visual  effects  could  be  produced  which 
would  be  capable  of  blowing  some  minds,  but 
the  visuals  were  boring.  A  meager  collection  of 
magazine  and  album  photos  were 
supplemented  by  a  group  of  miscellaneous, 
irrelevant  snapshots,  all  of  which  were  shown 
too  often  and  too  long.  The  only  thing  on  the 
screen  worth  my  time  was  a  short  cut  from 
"Yellow  Submarine." 

What  really  burned  was  the  way  the 
approach  of  the  show  degraded  the  Beatles 
themselves  and  their  music.  If  I  wer^  putting 


together  a  similar  show.  I  would  definitely  not 
play  "Eleanor  Rigby"  while  flashing  a  stream 
of  pictures  of  a  young,  beautiful,  well-tanned, 
and  well-proportioned  woman  posed 
seductively  in  a  glamorous  white  satin  gown. 
Eleanor  Rigby  was  one  of  the  "lonely  people" 
and  in  my  imagination,  an  ugly  old  maid. 

Many  of  the  photos  were  pornographic. 
They  were  not  pornographic  because  they  were 
unbeUevably  shocking  but  because  they  were 
sex  for  the  sake  of  sex  and  had  no  point  or 
purpose  in  the  show.  As  a  woman,  I  was 
insulted.  (Of  course  there  weren't  any  nude  or 
suggestive  men  in  the  show. ) 

As  for  the  music,  I  wish  I'd  stayed  home  and 
listened  to  some  albums.  Everytime  I'd  at 
least  get  into  a  song,  it  would  abruptly  be 
broken  into  with  something  else. 

"Away  With  Words"  ranks  with  those  old- 
fashioned  scandals,  somewhere  between  the 
small-time  of  "Paper  Moon"  and  the  big-time 
of  "The  Sting."  Obviously  it  was  a  one  week- 
end deal  for  a  reason. 

I  was  a  sucker  for  going.  I  should  have 
heeded  the  warning  I  got  when  I  read  the  back 
of  one  of  the  show's  advertising  flyers.  It  said: 
*  'As  Elvis  wonders  'Are  You  Lonesome 
Tonight',  a  youthful  president  winds  through 
the  streets  of  Dallas  to  meet  his  fate  and  an 
assassin's  bullet.  When  the  screen  goes  dark 
we're  allowed  a  moment  to  reflect  on  the  odd 
coincidence  that  it  was  ten  days  later  the 
Beatles  first  recording  was  released  in  the 
United  States  (or  was  it  coincidence? )" 

A  comment  on  that  is  impossible.

rip-off 


Teachers  name 
popular  books 


National  magazines  and  members  of  academia  have 
been  noting  in  recent  years  the  decline  in  reading  by 
Americans  and  especially  by  students. 

Mrs.  Mildred  Hibben,  Elmhurst  librarian^  and 
Elmhurst  English  teachers  seem  to  agree  that  interest 
in  rftading  has  gone  down,  specifically  for  the  average 
student.  Television  has  been  cited  repeatedly  as  a 
partial  explanation. 

Mrs.  Shelly  Wellington  noted  that  a  frequent 
response  from  students  when  assigned  a  novel  to  read 
is  "I  don't  want  to  read  it.  I've  already  seen  it."  She 
suggested  that  video  tapes  and  rnovies  could  be 
utilized  better  than  they  are  now. 

Books  which  are  popular  at  Elmhurst  often  are 
those  which  have  been  made  into  movies.  Jaws,  Rich 
Man,  Poor  Man,  The  Great  Gatsby,  The  Exorcist, 
Airport,  and  Love  Story  are  well-circulated  in  the 
school. 

Both  Mrs.  Wellington  and  Mrs.  Jane  Hoylman 
mention  the  decline  in  the  reading  of  Kurt  Vonnegut 
stories.  Mrs.  Hoylman  notes  that  psychiatric  novels 
such  as  Sybil  and  Helter  Skelter  are  popular.  Helter 
Skelter  seems  to  be  read  the  most  of  any  book  right 
now. 

Nearly  all  teachers  said  that  boys  are  still  reading 
sports  stories  and  girls  the  Gothic  romances  such  as 
Victoria  Holt  books.  Stories  about  pregnant  teen- 
agers are  also  popular  with  females.  Science  fiction  and 
mystery  stories  are  being  read  less,  while  biographies 
are  popular  with  younger  students.  And  Mrs. 
Wellington  has  noticed  that  students  enjoy  poetry 
when  it  is  accompanied  by  pictures  as  in  illustrated 
books  and  on  posters. 

Mrs.  Hibben  explained  that  paperbacks  and 
magazines  are  read  the  most  by  students  in  the 
library,  and  she  commented  that  she  thought  students 
used  the  Ubrary  less  than  they  used  to  because  of  the 
difficulty  it  has  in  obtaining  current  books  and  the  fact 
that  only  books  on  an  approved  list  may  be  purchased. 
She  says,  "It  used  to  be  you  couldn't  have  a  Ubrary 
without  the  classics.  Now  students  don't  use  them 
much.  I  think  it  reflects  a  change  in  attitudes.  People 
are  looking  for  something  new  because  they  think  new 
means  better.  This  is  not  always  true.  Television 
provides  pure  entertainment  and  people  don't  want  to 
go  through  the  language  of  a  book,  they  just  want  the 
story."

An  issue 
yet  fo  be 
resolved 


During  the  past  week,  the  editorial  department 
of  the  Elmhurst  Advance  conducted  a  small 
survey  of  general  student  opinion  on  busing 
students  across  town  to  go  to  school.  This  survey 
is  not  necessarily  on  the  local  level,  but  is  about 
busing  in  any  city  around  the  nation.  A  cross- 
section  of  the  student  population  was  taken  and 
only  two  questions  were  asked. 

1.  What  is  your  opinion  on  the  busing  of  students 
across  town?  Of  the  students  asked  this 
question,  17  per  cent  thought  that  busing  was 
a  good  idea  and  should  not  be  discontinued,  66 
per  cent  were  against  the  idea  of  busing,  most 
feeling  it  served  no  purpose,  and  17  per  cent 
had  no  particular  feeling  or  didn't  know 
enough  about  the  issue  to  state  an  opinion. 

2.  Do  your  parents  have  an  opinion? 

Of  the  students  responding  to  this  question, 
those  answering  thought  a  lot  about  it  with  40 
per  cent  saying  yes,  their  parents  were  against 
it.  Sixty  per  cent  didn't  know  whether  or  not 
their  parents  had  an  opinion. 

Students  voice  opinions 

Some  students  went  farther  and  stated  why 
they  took  on  their  negative  viewpoints; 


"I  think  it's  stupid  for  students  to  be  bused 
across  town,  when  they  have  a  high  school  in 
their  own  neighborhood. ' ' 

Another  said,   "They've  tried,   it,   it  doesn't 
work,  so  why  push  people  together?  If  people 
want  to  get  together,  they  will! ' ' 
School  board  pressured  at  first 

On  the  administrative  level,  one  of  the  office 
staff  members  commented  that  when  busing  in 
Fort  Wayne  Community  Schools  began  five  years 
ago,  the  people  on  the  school  board  downtown 
were  pressured,  mainly  because  parents  had 
complained  that  their  children  had  become  so 
familiar  with  their  schools  that  it  would  be  a 
grave  mistake  to  bus  them  to  a  new  school  in  a 
new  district.  But  now,  the  staff  member 
commented  that  the  students  and  parents  know 
clear  back  in  junior  high  what  high  school  they 
are  going  to.  Now  there  are  not  nearly  as  many 
complaints  to  the  school  board  about  busing,  and 
the  staff  member  feels  that  the  whole  plan  has 
worked  out  very  well.  ' 

The  busing  issue  here  in  Fort  Wayne  five  years 
ago  was  not  as  complicated  as  in  such  cities  as 
Boston,  Mass.  and  Detroit,  Mich.  In  these  cities, 
it  was  a  whole  different  plan  and  a  very  complex 
plan  to  follow.

Tomily  Plot'  chills 
without  violence 


by  Jim  Nelson 

Alfred  Hitchcock  has  scored  yet  another  success  with 
his  new  flick  "Family  Plot."  Playing  at  the  Holiday 
Theater,  "Family  Plot"  follows  in  the  footsteps  of  such 
Hitchcock  classics  as  "Rear  Window"  and  "The  Birds." 

It  all  begins  when  a  rich  old  lady  (Catherine  Nesbittl 
seeks  help  from  a  "clairvoyant"  named  Blanche 
(wonderfully  played  by  Barbara  Harris)  to  find  the 
illegitimate  nephew  she  banished  from  her  midst  35  years 
before.  With  Blanche's  clairvoyancy  and  the  help  of  her 
boyfriend,  George  (Bruce  Dern),  the  couple  set  out  to  find 
this  mysterious  man.  The  long-lost  nephew  (William 
Devane)  just  happens  to  be  a  professional  kidnapper  and 
when  he  discovers  the  twosome  are  snooping  into  his 
past,  he,  along  with  his  partner  in  crime  (Karen  Black), 
plots  their  murder. 

One  of  the  highlights  is  a  scene 
in  which  a  hired  man  leaks  the 
brake  fluid  out  of  Blanche's  car. 
As  George  is  driving  down  a' 
mountain  he  realizes  he  has  no 
brakes.  From  then  on  a  state  of 
panic  overtakes  the  couple  as 
they  speed  around  curves,  avoid 
on-coming  cars,  and  barely  miss 
going  over  a  rail  to  certain  death.  The  viewer  lives  every 
moment  of  this  episode  as  Blanche  chokes  George  with 
his  necktie  and  is  fearful  of  a  car  around  the  next  curve. 

The  film  builds  suspensefully  to  a  climatic  scene  as 
Blanche  and  George  meet  their  would-be  murderers  and 
match  wits  to  stay  alive. 

"Family  Plot"  is  a  film  with  great  acting  and  suspense 
to  match  and  a  must  for  Alfred  Hitchcock  fans.  It's  so 
nice  to  see  a  murder  mystery  film  with  very  little  violence 
or  blood.

Custom     Picture    Framing 

411W»b$tr«tt  743-IM1 


by  Verne  Myers 

Every  year,  from  elementary  school  to 
senior  high,  students  are  rewarded  for 
their  faithful  attendance.  A  fine  attribute 
for  anyone  involved  in  some  activity  is 
attendance,  and  students  are  annually 
recognized  for  their  unblemished  school 
records. 

Diploma  given  for  attendance 

Of  late,  however,  various  school 
officials  across  the  country  (hopefully  a 
minority)  have  made  the  suggestion  that 
in  return  for  "regular"  attendance  at 
school,  students  should  be  rewarded  with 
some  kind  of  high  school  diploma.  The 
"pupil"  need  not  read,  write,  add  or  make 
any  other  indications  that  he  or  she  is 
functioning  mentally  in  order  to  make 
that  final  walk  down  the  aisle  come 
commencement  night. 

At  graduation,  students  who  fulfill  the 
attendance  requirement  would  receive  a 
separate  diploma  from  those  who  passed 
high  school  academically.  A  student 
would  have  two  options:  work  for  an 
academic  diploma,  or  receive  due  "credit" 
for  participation  in  high  school. 
Concern  voiced  on  test  scores 

Perhaps  there  are  a  number  of  students 
today  sliding  through  high  school,  and 
much  concern  has  been  voiced  over  lower 
test  scores  and  performance.  This  type  of 
program,    however,    simply   provides 


justification  for  this  type  of  development, 
and  certainly  would  not  add  any  incentive 
for  those  students.  It  would  seem  that  the 
best  way  to  help  and  improve  them  would 
be  to  raise  their  performance,  not  lower 
the  standards  to  match  the  students. 

The  purpose  of  the  whole  educational 
system  is  to  educate  and  much  of  the 
taxpayers'  money  is  used  for  this  vast 
system  of  schools.  It  would  be  an 
injustice  to  the  public  as.  well  as  the 
student  to  practically  remove  all  barriers 
to  a  high  school  diploma,  defeating:  its 
whole  purpose. 

Reading,  writing  -  fundamental  need 

But  perhaps  even  more  basic  is  the  fact 
that  being  able  to  read  and  write  is  a 
fundamental  need  of  American  society.  It 
is  not  the  actual  survival  of  a  person  that 
is  at  stake,  but  the  ability  to  get  along  in 
society  and  contribute  as  a  20th  century 
human  being. 

Reading  and  writing  are  very  basic  to 
communication  between  people.  Man 
used  them  to  move  out  of  the  Stone  Age, 
and  now  is  certainly  not  the  time  to 
regress.  Reading  opens  up  most  avenues 
of  information  and  could  be  considered 
necessary  to  retain  a  working  democracy. 

Is  education  necessary?  Without  a 
doubt,  it  is.  But  even  more  important,  the 
system  by  which  students  gain  this 
knowledge  must  not  be  diluted  to  the 
point  where  there  areno  effective  results 
and  no  reasonable  alternatives.

Top  Council  seats  to  be  chosen  today 


This  morning  during  the 
homeroom  period,  next  year's 
Student  Council  officers  will  be 
chosen  by  the  student  body. 
The  elections  bring  an  end  to 
two  weeks  of  campaigning  for 
the  seven  candidates  running 
for  the  offices  of  president, 
vice-president,  and  secretary- 
treasqrer. 

This  year's  election  will  be 
conducted  in  a  manner 
designed  by  the  present 
Student  Council  officers.  The 
candidates  have  been 
permitted  to  endorse  other 
candidates  as  they  have  done 
by  choosing  what  appears  to  be 
running  mates.  However,  all  of 
the  votes  cast  this  morning  will 
be  counted  up  separately. 

A  great  amoimt  of  confusion 
has  arisen  within  the  Council 
concerning  this  procedure. 
Candidates  who  appear  to  be 
running  with  partners  for  the 
president  and  vice-president 
position  have  endorsed  another 
candidate,  not  as  it  appears 
chosen  a  running  mate. 

Junior  Bob  Bracht  has  been 
campaigning  for  the  president 
position.  Bob's  primary  goal,  if 
elected,  is  to  terminate  the 
feeling  of  indifference  he  has 
observed  that  exists  in  the 
present  Council.  In  order  to 
accomphsh  this,  Bob  believes 
that  subcommittees  should  be 
set  up  through  the  Student 
Council  that  would  allow  more 
involvement  by  non-members. 
Bob  would  also  like  to  see  more 
Stu4ent  Council  support  of 
clubs  and  organizations  within 
the  school. 

Also  running  for  the  spot  is 
junior  Tod  Huntley.  Tod's 
primary  objective,  if  elected, 
would  be  to  remove  the  "sqcial 
club"   stigma  of  the  Council 


d^i:^':S:-±- 


and  make  the  club  more 
responsive  to  the  students  by 
keeping  them  informed  of  the 
Council's  activities  and  give 
them  a  greater  input  in  the 
poHcy-making  of  the  group.  . 

In  order  to  accomplish  this. 
Tod  suggests  that  Council 
meetings  should  be  open  to  any 
student  with  a  free  period  when 
the  Council  meets,  and  at  the 
end  of  each  meeting,  non- 
members  may  participate  in  a 
short    feedback   session. 

The  third  candidate  for 
Student  Council  president  is 
junior  Dave  Stein, 

Dave  has  tried  to  base  his 
campaign  on  principles,  not 
specific  ideas  or  promises.  He 
believes  in  a  president  for  all 
students,  not  just  a  certain 
group  within  the  student  body 
at  Elmhurst. 

In  expressing  his  viewpoints 
in  this  race,  Dave  explained, 
"Hard  work  and  dedication, 
that's  what  I  stand  on,  but 
most  of  all  I  stand  on  my  own 
two  feet,  to  work  for  the  way 
that  things  should  be  in  the 
Student  Council." 

Running  in  the  vice 
president  race  is  junior  Jan 
Dowling.  Fresh  new  ideas  that 
can  be  incorporated  to  get 
something  rolling  is  what  Jan 
stands  behind.  She  would  like 
to  see  students  get  involved  in 
the  Student  Council  who  are 
really  excited  about  working 
with  the  group. 

Another  V-P  candidate  is 
junior  Kent  Hermann.  One  of 
Kent's  main  objectives  for 
next  year's  student 

government  is  that  the  student 
body  must  come  together  in 
unity  as  one.  Kent  will  then 
represent  the  students  equally. 


Junior  Troi  Lee  is  seeking 
election  to  the  vice-presidential 
position.  In  his  many 
campaign  beliefs,  Troi  would 
most  like  to  see  the  social  club 
atmosphere  of  the  Council  done 
away  with.  Secondly,  Troi 
would  like  to  see  much  more 
representation  from  all  ethnic 
groups  at  Eimhurst. 

Running  unopposed  for  the 
secretary-treasurer's  office  is 
junior  Sue  Frankewich.  Sue 
has  been  a  member  of 
Elmhurst's  Council  for  two 
years  and  would  now  like  the 
chance  to  use  her  abilities  in  a 
major  position.  Sue  believes 
that  there  has  to  be  one  main 
organization  in  the  school  that 
everyone  can  be  a  part  of,  and 
Sue  believes  that  Student 
Council  is  that  group  that  can 
involve  and  benefit  all.

Smith  awarded  Sertoma 


The  recipient  of  this  year's 
Sertoma  Award  for  Elmhurst  has 
been  named.  The  honor  goes  to 
senior  Terry  Smith. 

Terry  received  his  trophy 
during  a  banquet  at  Hall's  Gas 
House  on  Monday,  May  10.  The 
reception  was  held  to  honor  all 
winners,  one  from  each  of  the  10 
high  schools  in  Fort  Wayne. 
Hiliard  Gates,  WKJG  sports- 
caster,  presented  the  awards. 

Terry  was  chosen  mainly  on 
athletic  participation.  Other 
factors  contributing  to  his 
winning  were  leadership,  sports- 
manship, personaUty,  character, 
scholastic  ability,  citizenship, 
cooperation,  extra-curricular 
activities,  and  good  morals. 

The  senior  class  was  asked  to 


nominate  candidates  that  they 
felt  were  worthy  of  the  award. 
The  top  three  nominees'  names 
were  then  given  to  a  committee. 
The  committee  then  reviewed  the 
record  of  the  student  who 
received  the  most  votes  to  see  if 
that  person  was  actually  the  best

Busiest  spot  at  EHS 


'CashBox' 


Before  school  each  morning 
during  the  school  week,  within 
about  twenty  minutes,  students 
spend  from  $15  to  $25  daily  in 
Elmhurst's  busiest  spot,  the 
"Cash  Box." 

Funds  fiDanced  by  profits 

In  that  small  room,  never 
designed  for  retail  operation, 
approximately  150  sales  are  made 
every  morning.  Candy  is  the  most 
popular  item  sold  according  to 
Mr.  John  Coahran.  faculty 
advisor.  The  "Cash  Box"  also 
sells  pencils,  paper,  stenographic 
pads,  note  cards,  folders,  erasers, 
pens,  and  combs,  to  list  a  few 
items. 

The  "Cash  Box"  is  a  Student 
Council  operation  with  all  profits 
going  itito  three  funds  at 
Elmhurst.  The  three  funds  are  the 
Student  Council  fund,  the 
Student  Aid  fund,  and  the 
Educational  Resource  fund. 

To  date,  Elmhurst's  general 
store  has  grossed  well  over  $3,500 
for  this  school  year.  The  Student 
Aid  Fund,  which  receives  25%  of 
the  "Cash  Box"  profits,  helps  to

pay  the  expenses  for  the  forensic 
activities. 

Students  devote  time 
to 'Cash  Box' 

Senior  Mike  Engle  has  been  a 
service  worker  in  the  "Cash  Box" 
for  the  past  two  years.  Sally 
Engle,  Mike's  younger  sister,  also 
gives  up  much  of  her  free  time  to 
help  out  between  7:30  and  7:55 
a.m.  each  morning  during  the 
week.  Also  contributing  much 
time  to  the  operation  of  the  "Cash 
Box"  this  semester  were  Marcia 
Miller  and  Buddy  Goggans. 

During  the  morning  rush,  these 
four  student  workers,  along  with 
Mr.  Coahran,  are  busy  handing 
out  candy,  selling  notebooks,  and 
making  change.  More  than  $1.00 
a  minute  is  spent  during  this 
time.  When  the  warning  bell  rings 
at  7:55  a.m.,  the  students  move 
on  to  their  first  period  classes, 
and  in  a  minute  or  so,  the  room  is 
cleared.  Once  again,  money  has 
been  spent  that  is  in  turn  used  for 
the  students  of  Elmhurst, 


Stan  Kenton,  featured  at  the 
1974  Elmhurst  Jazz  Festival,  will 
again  be  presenting  a  concert 
here.  Kenton  contacted  Mr. 
Randy  Brugh,  EHS  band 
director,  wanting  to  know  if  he 
would  hke  to  fill  a  vacancy  in  his 
program  schedule.  Kenton  will  be 
on  his  way  to  Detroit  when  he 
stops  here. 

On  Thursday,  May  20,  Kenton 
and  his  19-piece  band  will  start 
playing  jazz  music  at  8  p.m.  and 
continue  for  approximately  two 
hours.  The  doors  will  open  one 
hour  before  the  program  begins. 

Tickets  for  the  performance  are 
oriced  at  $4  for  general  admission 


and  $5  for  reserved  seats.  They 
can  be  purchased  in  the  music 
department  or  from  any  band  or 
choir  member. 

Kenton's  music  appeals  to  both 
young  and  old.  In  fact,  many 
charts  that  Elmhurst's  jazz 
bands  play  are  written  by 
Kenton. 

According  to  Mr.  Brugh, 
"Kenton  has  done  more  for 
student  musicians  than  any  other 
big  band  director."  This  is 
especially  true  for  Elmhurst.  Two 
EHS  musicians  have  been 
awarded  a  scholarship  in  the  past. 
Those  two  were  Dave  Berry  and 
Ken  Rarick.

Council 

summarizes 
yeof 


This  year's  student  council,  headed  by  Tom  Sonday,  Vice- 
President  Mike  Maurer  and  Secretary  Claudia  Johnson,  has 
managed  to  produce  some  effective  results,  despite  a  lot  of 
confusion,  petty  disagreements,  and  arguments  over 
procedure.  Over  the  past  seven  months,  the  council  has 
sponsored  eleven  events,  in  addition  to  funding  several  school 
organizations  and  individuals  who  are  representatives  of  the 
school. 

Penny  Arcade  provides  largest  profits 

The  council  began  the  year  in  October  with  Homecoming 
and  a  Homecoming  dance.  October  was  also  the  month  of 
representative  and  class  officer  elections,  and  the  group  was 
responsible  for  this  also. 

The  November  Penny  Arcade  was  perhaps  the  largest 
grosser  of  income  for  the  council  of  the  year.  Other  area 
schools  participated  in  the  Arcade.  The  Arcade  was  considered 
a  huge  success  because  of  the  large  crowd  and  the  profits  made 
by  each  booth.  ' 

December  brought  Ethos  to  Elmhurst  with  a  90-minute 
concert  that  grossed  about  three  dollars.  Although  attendahce 
was  low,  the  council  felt  the  program  was  a  success  because  it 
managed  to  break  even.  December  also  was  the  month  of  the 
Miss  Virginia  project,  the  annual  Christmas  project  designed 
to  help  needy  families  in  Fort  Wayne  through  Miss  Virginia, 
who  works  to  help  the  inner  city  poor. 

Council  attains  successful  record 

The  annual  semi-formal  dance,  held  in  February,  proved  an 
extreme  disappointment,  since  it  put  the  council  $300  into  the 
hole. 

This  month,  the  council  is  paying  for  the  after-prom  at 
Goeglein's  Barn,  sponsoring  an  essay  contest,  and  running  the 
elections  for  next  year's  offices. 

All  told,  the  council  has  met  15  times  this  year  and 
sponsored  11  activities,  a  record  they  feel  is  successful.  The 
council  has  one  meeting  left  this  year. 


Seniors  discuss  vole  preferences 


Whatever  happened  to  the  liberated  youth  of 
America?  The  youth  who  rebel  against 
standard  values  and  represent  a  very  liberal 
segment  of  the  country?  At  Elmhurst,  it 
appears,  the  influence  of  conservatism  has 
made  itself  felt  where  students  reflect  the 
political  climate  of  a  state  well-known  for  its 
conservative  Republican  base.  In  a  year  of 
presidential  and  congressional  elections, 
Elmhurst  students  have  seen  fit  to  follow  a 
more  traditional  line,  a  line  which  has  been 
typically  Hoosier  for  years. 

In  Tuesday's  May  4  primary  election,  most 
seniors  had  a  chance  to  exercise  their  right  to 
vote  for  the  first  time.  On  Thursday,  those 
seniors  in  Mr.  Glenn  Miller's  psychology  and 
sociology  classes  responded  to  a  poll  of  the 
candidates  which  confronted  them  on  Tuesday. 
They  were  also  presented  with  a  variety  of 
presidential  and  congressional  opponents  for 
the  November  elections.  A  totalof  about  110 
seniors  responded  to  the  survey,  which  is 
approximately  a  third  of  the  senior  class. 

Roughly  70  percent  of  the  votes  cast  were 
Republican,  though  many  students  didn't  vote 
a  "straight  ticket"  by  any  means.  In  the 
Republican  presidential  contest.  President 
Ford  captured  58  per  cent  of  the  vote,  as 
compared  to  42  per  cent  for  Ronald  Reagan. 
This  is  an  almost  exact  reflection  of  city-wide 
voting  which  granted  Ford  a  57  to  43  per  cent 
margin. 

On  the  Democratic  side,  Jimmy  Carter 
captured  65  per  cent  of  the  vote,  as  compared 
to  67  per  cent  in  this  area.  George  Wallace  and 
Ellen  McCormack  each  gathered  in  12  per  cent 
of  the  vote,  while  in  Allen  County,  they  tallied 
10  and  9  per  cent  respectively.  Sen.  Henry 
Jackson  followed  with  11  per  cent,  while  he  ran 


with  14  per  cent  in  the  county.  Again,  voting 
followed  very  similar  lines  between  the 
students  and  the  major  public. 

For  the  U.S.  Senate,  RepubUcan  Richard 
Lugar  received  79  per  cent  of  the  vote,  in 
contrast  to  17  per  cent  for  Edgar  Whitcomb 
and  4  per  cent  for  William  Costas.  In  Allen 
County,  Lugar  had  68  per  cent,  Whitcomb  29 
per  cent,  and  Costas  3  per  cent.  For  the 
Democrats,  Vance  Hartke  pulled  in  59  per  cent 
to  Philip  Hayes'  41  per  cent.  In  the  county,  it 
was  a  much  closer  51  to  49. 

For  state  senate,  the  familiarity  of  John 
Sinks'  name  brought  in  95  per  cent  of  the 
Elmhurst  vote  against  5  per  cent  for  Dixie 
Arter.  In  the  county.  Sinks  still  captured  72 
per  cent.  Democrat  Ronald  Rice  defeated 
opponent  Robert  Ries  76  to  24  per  cent.  It  was 
a  narrower  55  to  45  in  the  county. 

In  the  fall  elections,  students  were  given 
several  presidential  possibilities.  In  a  match- 
up of  Ford  ^gainst  Humphrey,  Ford  easily  won 
with  79,  per  cent  of  the  vote.  However,  the 
margin  closed  a  bit  when  Ford  opposed  Jimmy 
Carter,  winning  67  to  33  per  cent.  Reagan  ran 
weaker  against  Humphrey  than  did  Ford, 
though  easily  winning  67  to  33  per  cent. 
Against  Carter,  Reagan  lost  more  votes, 
coming  through  with  62  per  cent  of  the  vote.  In 
this  match-up,  Reagan  ran  weaker  than  Ford 
against  all  Democrats,  which  agrees  with  the 
primary  voting  between  Ford  and  Reagan. 
Carter  was  the  strongest  Democrat. 

Richard  Lugar  bettered  Vance  Hartke  by 
only  60  to  40  per  cent,  which  indicates  some 
degree  of  crossover  voting.  Again  John  Sinks, 
.bettered  Ronald  Rice  with  89  per  cent  of  the 
vote,  indicating  the  immeasurabl  e  importance 
of  familiarity  and  personal  contact.

by  Jim  Nelson 

"The  Bad  News  Bears,"  playing  at 
Southtown  Cinema  and  HoUday  Theatre,  is 
pretty  funny  —  in  spots.  Sometimes  the 
overall  film  gets  too  average  —  again,  only 
in  spots. 
Matthau  out  of  character 

It's  all  done  for  fun,  of  course,  and  the 
plot  could  have  been  really  good  if  it  had 
been  pursued.  Instead  it  goes  out  in  all 
directions,  even  staging  unnecessEU-y  serious 
overtones.  It  begins  with  the  promise  of 
being  a  funny,  entertaining  film.  Then, 
somewhere  between  the  middle  and  the  end, 
it  takes  on  a  dismal  atmosphere.  For 
example,  why  would  a  Little  League 
baseball  coach  storm  out  to  the  mound  in  a 
rage  and  smack  the  pitcher  off  his  feet?  If  it 
was  a  joke,  it  desperately  needed  a  shot  of 
humor.  If  it  was  serious,  then  what  is  the 
motive  for  portraying  these  adults  as  rotten, 
cruel  baseball  coaches.  The  serious  events 
just  don't  make  any  sense. 

Walter  Matthau  is  the  Bears'  beer- 
drinking  coach  who  begins  the  film  being 
very  amusing,  but  viewers  end  up  pitying 
such  a  boozer.  Matthau  is  out  of  his 
element.  He's  an  excellent  actor,  but  he 
doesn't  even  act  in  this  one.  He  just  walks 
through  the  film  swearing  at  the  kids. 
Tatum  O'Neal's  billing  doesn't  equal  her 
part.  She  wasn't  bad,  but  she  had  a  hard 
time  keeping  her  characterization  intact. 

Young  actors  steal  show 

The  other  kids  stole  the  show.  They  were 
bright,  funny,  and  great  actors  except  for 
one  thing.  Nine  and  eleven-year  olds,  most 
of  them  at  least,  do  not  have  mouths  that 
were  filled  with  such  language  that  would 
make  a  sailor  blush.  It  was  funny,  but 
people  get  sick  of  hearing  smart  aleck  kids 
with  crummy  mouths.  This,  of  course,  can 
be  blamed  on  a  poor  script.  Whoever  wrote 
it  thinks  crude  is  humorous. 

All  in  all,  "The  Bad  News  Bears"  has  poor 
acting  by  the  billed  stars  and  a  rotten  script. 
The  only  worthwhile  thing  were  those 
bright,  talented  kids  who  stole  the  show  — 
at  least  what's  left  to  be  stolen. 

Letter  praises 
baseball  coach 

To  the  editor: 

I  disagree  with  Kevin  Lee  on  what  he  said 
about  Mr.  Derbyshire  not  being  a  good 
coach.  No  team  can  be  great  just  because  it 
has  good  players.  If  you  have  a  bad  coach, 
you  have  one  losing  season  after  another, 
but  Elmhurst  has  not  had  this.  Elmhurst 
has  good  pitchers  and  catchers,  but  it's  the 
coach  who  decides  who  plays.  Elmhurst  is 
one  of  the  best  teams  in  the  city,  and  we 
should  be  glad  we  have  good  coaches  in 
every  sport,  including  baseball.  I  am  not  on 
the  baseball  team.

Boys, 


by  Mark  DeGrandchamp 

Eighteen  young  men  from  around 
the  area  will  soon  be  playing  m  the 
Big  Leagues.  No.  not  the  American 
or  National  Leagues.  A  new  baseball 
league  is  being  formed  at  Elmhurst 
this  summer,  which  will  be  known  as 
the  Big  League,  which  is  a  spmoff 
from  the  Little  League  Programs. 

Big  League  — 
both  good  and  bad 

Mr   Charles  Weaver,  manager  of 

16-18, 
joiii  big  league 

the  team  that  will  represent 
Elmhurst,  commented.  "It  should 
lie  a  pretty  good  league.  Quite  a  few 
M.ung  men  that  play  for  Wayne. 
Elmhurst,  and  Luers  will  be  trying 
out  for  the  team." 

Sophomore  Joel  Flotow  stated, 
"This  new  league  should  be  a  lot  of 
fun.  1  didn't  think  that  I  would  be 
able  to  play  any  ball  this  year 
because  nothing  was  available." 

Senior  Dan  Landrigan  takes 
another  point  of  view.  He  feels  that 
this  league  will  drain  the  Connie 
Mack  program,  but  it  will  give  more 
people  a  chance  to  play.  Therefore,  it 
will  be  both  good  and  bad. 
league  to  offer  maay  opportunities 

The  League,  which  is  an 
equivalent  to  the  Connie  Mack 
Program,  is  for  young  men  ages  IB- 
IS. It  is  being  sponsored  by  the 
Prime  Construction  Corporation. 
Several  other  sites  will  be  included; 
St.  Joe  Center,  Times  Corners,  and 
McMillenPark. 

About  30  people  are  expected  to 
try  out  for  the  program.  Tryout 
times  are  to  be  announced  at  a  later 
date.  Weaver  commented  that  a  lot 
of  good  ball  players  were  not  given 
the  chance  to  play  and  that  this 
league  will  offer  a  lot  more 
opportunities  to  these  players 


Students  cast  in  'Godspeir 


by  Colleen  Tonn 

"I  didn't  think  it  would  get  going,  but 
when  everyone  started  to  really  work,  .t 
turned  out  okay.  I  was  pleased  with  the 
production,"  smiled  junior  Donna  Munroe. 
Donna  played  the  piano  for  the  mus.ca 
"Godspell"  put  on  by  Campus  Ministries  of 
I  U  -P  U  "Godspell"  is  a  musical  based 
upon  the  gospel  according  to  St.  Matthew 
and  was  originally  produced  on  the  New 
York  stage. 
News  of  play  passed  by  word  of  mouth 

The  local  production  of  the  musical  began 
as  the  idea  of  Janine  Johnson.  Janine,  an 
l.U.-P.U.  student  doing  her  internship  in 
Campus  Ministries,  enjoys  drama  and  felt 
"Godspell"  would  draw  much  attention. 
Miss  Johnson  enUsted  the  help  of  Ruth 
Gilland  as  assistant  and  that's  where 
Elmhurst  became  involved. 

Ruth  told  her  friend  senior  Carol  Quance 
about  the  play  and  Carol,  in  turn,  told  junior 
Dave  Stein,  The  two  tried  out  and  made  it  as 
members  of  the  1 1-character  cast.  Carol  also 
asked  junior  Donna  Munroe  to  audition  for 
th  e  piano  part,  which  she  easily  won.  Donna 
told  sophomores  Dave  Nelson,  who  plays 
bass,  and  Tim  GaskiU,  who  plays  drums  and 
they  became  involved. 
•Godspell'  -  a  moving  experience 

Then  the  work  began,  practice  upon 
practice,  hours  upon  hours.  Lines,  music, 
and  choreography  -  all  the  little  things 
that  make  a  stage  show  "just  right.'  After 
all  this,  was  the  finished  product  worth  it? 
Most  definitely  yes. 

The  play  was  simple,  moving,  and  very 
touching,  it  showed  the  complete  love  Jesus 
Christ's  foUowers  had  for  Him.  Very  fast- 
moving,  yet  sometimes  slow  enough  to  let 
you  think.  The  audience  was  heard  to 
murmur,  "Fantastic,"  "I  love  it,"  and 
"Neat."  And  when  it  was  over,  there  was 
not  one  person  who  didn't  have  a  smile  on

his  face. 

•Godspell'  -  a  very  special  musical 

The  audience  was  not  alone  in  its 
enthusiasm.  Actress  Carol  Quance  grinned, 
"I  really,  really  enjoyed  it.  So  many  things 
the  play  says,  I  feel  inside  of  me."  Donna 
Munroe  agreed.  "It  was  warm  and  conveyed 
a  good  message."  She  was  also  very  proud 
of  the  fine  job  these  first  and  second  time 
actors  and  actresses  did. 

The  musical  will  be  performed  at  least 
three  more  times.  It  will  be  at  Aldersgate 
Methodist  Church  May  9.  Waynedale 
United  Methodist  May  16.  and  at  Freiman 
Square  in  the  near  future.  '•Godspell"  is  a 
totally  new  experience  and  a  very  special 
musical. 


Weight-lifters  given  P.E.  cr 

^^  ^^        must  then  be  resisted,  or  "brought  down,    by  th 


by  Lise  Duemling 
Negative  lifting'!  "P.M.A.?"  "Free  weight?"  These  are  only 
a  few  elements  involved  in  the  weight-lifting  program  at 
Elmhurst.  Organized  in  1974.  the  number  of  participants  has 
grown  from  11  to  nearly  100  with  over  130  in  the  summer 
conditioning  program  used  mainly  by  athletes  competing  in 
fall  and  winter  sports. 
Program  to  improve  students'  skills 

Elmhurst  is  the  only  school  in  the  city  to  have  a  weight-" 
Ufting  program  available  as  a  class.  Students  receive  P.E. 
credit  along  with  the  benefits  of  having  class  time  to  improve 
their  skills.  "I've  been  through  the  program  and  I  know  it 
works!"  emphatically  stated  supervisor.  Coach  Tom  Herman. 

Coach  Herman  and  Coach  Mark  Hageman  from  Ball  State 
University  say  "body  strength,  increased  muscle  size, 
cardiovascular  endurance,  and  overall  body  building"  are  the 
goals  of  the  program. 

To  achieve  these,  weight-lifting  and  other  activities,  which 
usually  include  running  (for  cardiovascular  improvement!,  are 
completed  on  an  every-other-day  basis.  Also,  "Shoot  for  the 
P.M. A.."  encourages  Coach  Herman.  "If  you're  going  to 
succeed  in  anything,  you  must  have  a  positive  mental 
attitude." 
Free  Ufting  harder  than  Universal 

The  actual  weight-lifting  itself  can  be  accomplished  in 
several  ways.  One  aspect  of  exercise  is  negative  lifting.  Done 
in  groups  of  three,  an  amount  of  weight  is  Ufted  by  two  and 


must  then  be  resisted,  or  "brought  down,"  by  the  remaining 
person.  In  this  process,  greater  poundage  can  be  used,  and  one 
can  gain  the  fullest  muscle  extension.  Coach  Herman  observes, 
••An  increase  anywhere  from  60-100  lbs.  can  be  attained  by 
regular  use  of  the  ben  ch  press  alone." 

Not  as  common  as  other  forms  here  is  the  free  weight 
system  of  lifting.  Equipment  such  as  barbells  is  used  for  this. 
••We'd  like  to  get  some  moi-e  free  weight  down  here  to 
complement  the  Universal  (weight  machinel,"  commented 
Coach  Hageman.  He  continued  to  explain  that  free  lifting  is 
usually  harder  —  because  more  muscles  are  iised  at  one  time 
than  in  working  on  the  Universal. 
Girls  develop  stamina  through  weight-lifting 

Although  girls  do  not  yet  take  weight-lifting  as  a  class, 
many  are  involved  in  it  through  other  sports.  However,  goals 
such  as  increased  muscle  size  and  overall  body  building  are  not 
stressed. 

Mrs,  Cathy  Russell  explains,  "Rather  than  develop  strength 
by  lifting  heavy  weights,  they  lift  lighter  weights  over  a  longer 
period  of  time.  It  helps  to  develop  stamina  and  endurance. 

Some  future  hopes  in  the  program  include:  1)"  another 
machine  -  costing  approximately  $4,000;  21  a  chance  to  open 
the  opportunity  of  weight-lifting  to  the  public;  3)  more  space 
in  which  to  operate  (hopefully  this  will  occur  with  the  school 
expansion);  and  4)  further  involvement  for  girls. 

But,  presently,  both  Coach  Herman  and  Coach  Hageman 
urge  everyone  to  take  part  in  the  weight-lifting  program  and 
*  agree  that  "You  only  get  out  of  it  what  you  put  into  it! " 


EHS  diamondmen  downed  by  Woodlam 
sport  5-1  record  in  SAC  race 


by  Mark  Mullen 

With  more  than  half  the  season 
over,  the  Elmhurst  baseball  team 
looks  stronger  than  ever.  It 
currently  holds  an  impressive  5-1 
win-loss  record  in  the  SAC  and  an 
11-7  overall  record. 
Trojans  edge  out  Bruins 

On  Apr.  30,  the  Trojans  met 
the  Northrop  Bruins  at  Elmhurst. 
The  Trojans  ended  up  on  top  by 
edging  the  previously  unbeater 
Bruins,  2-1.  Junior  Brian  RusseL 
pitched  superbly.  In  the  top  of  th( 
fourth,  the  Bruins  had  the  base; 
loaded  with  only  one  out.  Tht 
situation  looked  hopeless,  but  th( 
next  two  outs  came  easy  as  there 
was  an  infield  pop  and  a  fly  ball  to 
left  field,  which  were  both  caught. 
The  Homestead  Spartans 
traveled  to  Elmhurst  the  next 
day  for  a  doubleheader. 
Ehnhurst,  lead  by  sophomore  Jim 


Almond's  pitching,  came  out  the 
victor  by  overrunning  the 
Spartans,  6-4. 

The  tables  turned,  however,  in 
the  second  match  and  Elmhurst 
was  intimidated  by  the  Spartans 
by  a  score  of  6-1, 

Coach  Bill  Derbyshire 
commented,  "We  just  couldn't 
get  the  hits." 

Diamondmen  explode 
against  Dwenger 

The  next  game  saw  the  Trojans 
pitted  against  the  Harding 
Hawks  at  Elmhurst  on  Tuesday, 
May  4. 

Elmhurst  exploded  with  four 
runs  in  the  third  inning  as  the 
result  of  juniors  Ron  and  Don 
Culpepper's  base  stealing,  a  base 
hit  by  Brian  Russell,  and  a  two 
smash  by  Terry  Smith.  The 
Trojans  went  on  to  win  it  with  a 
convincing  5-3  score.

Are  today's  basebaU  super- 
stars overpaid?  My  answer  is 
no.  They  can  be  compared  to 
Johnny  Carson,  Paul  Lynde,  or 
Dinah  Shore.  They  are 
showmen  with  a  special  type  of 
ability,  the  ability  to  play 
baseball.  What  does  agitate  me 
is  the  way  a  $150,000  super- 
star bawls  out  an  umpire  on  a 
call  that  is  more  than  likely 
correct.  The  fact  is  that  the  call 
makes  the  big  impressive 
superstar  look  bad  so  he  takes 
his  only  avenue  of  saving  his 
reputation,  that  of  telling  the 
umpire  off.  All  I  have  to  say  is 
superstars,  be  men  and  take 
your  medicine,  and  try  growing 
up  a  bit. 

Announcer:  And  he  slides 
into  third,  it's  going  to  be  close 
sports  fans. 

Umpire:  Yerout! 

Announcer:  He  called  him 
out.  Watch  out  now  sports  fans 
Johnny  Jock's  going  to  give 
the  umpire  a  piece  of  his  mind. 
Not  too  much  though.  He's 
given  every  umpire  in  the 
league  a  piece  of  his  mind  and 
there's  not  much  left. 

Johnny  Jock:  Out?  Out! 
Where's  your  eyes  Alfred?  In 
your  ears,  or  is  it  your  toes 
today?  Well  they  sure  aren't  in 
your  head. 

Umpire:  Now  calm  down 
Jonathan  this  is  going  to 
happen  to  you  very  often  if  you 
keep  running  the  base  paths 
like  you  have  been. 

Johiiny  Jock:  I  was  wrong. 
They're    not    in    your    toes! 


They're  in  your  heels,  you  heel. 

Umpire:  Johnathan,  you 
know  if  you  keep  getting  on  we 
umpire's  cases  you  aren't 
going  to  be  getting  a  fair 
shake.  I  was  fair  to  you  on  that 
call  because  I  like  you 
Johnathan. 

Announcer:  Johnny  Jock  is 
really  getting  heated  now 
sports  fans.  If  you  were  here 
now  you  could  tell.  It  starts  in 
his  left  index  toe  nail  and  has 
climbed  very  rapidly  to  his 
45th  hair  cuticle.  He's  beet  red. 
I  wouldn't  want  to  be  in 
umpire  Alfred  0.  Nearsight's 
shoes  at  this  moment. 

Johnny  Jock:  What  do  you 
mean  being  fair  tome!  I 
touched  the  base  four  seconds 
before  the  ball  touched  the 
infield  grass. 

Umpire:  Now  Johnathan 
you're  exaggerating  again.  I 
know  you  stretch  the  truth. 
Last  night  your  wife  told  me 
that  you  caught  a  10,  inch  fish 
on  vacation  last  winter  and  by 
the  time  spring  training 
started  it  had  grown  3  feet. 

Johnny  Jock:  What  were 
you  and  my  wife  doing 
together  last  night.  You  old 
geiser,  so  help  me,  if  I  ever 
catch  you  and  her  together  . . . 

Umpire:  Yer  out  of  the 
game!!!,  league,  and  the 
Playball  Club. 

Narrator:  And  so  ends 
another  heated  argument 
between  a  spoiled  baseball 
superstar  and  a  poor 
unprotected,  underpaid 
umpire. 


The  following  Friday,  May  7, 
Elmhurst  hosted  the  Bishop 
Dwenger  Saints.  In  the  second 
inning,  the  Saints  scored  five 
runs  to  take  a  5-0  lead. 

However,  this  did  not  stop  the 
Trojans.  The  Trojans  creeped 
back  Uttle  by  little,  and  by  the 
end  of  the  sixth  inning,  the 
Trojans  had  narrowed  the  Saints' 
overwhelming  lead  to  only  one. 
The  Trojans  exploded  in  the 
seventh  inning.  With  two  outs, 
Terry  Smith  smashed  a  base  hit 
and  made  it  to  first.  Then,  senior 
Stan  Sorgen  got  walked.  Stan  and 
Terry  advanced  to  second  and 
third  base  respectively  when  the 
Saints  pitcher  threw  a  "wild 
one."  Senior  Stan  Prince  then 
smacked  a  base  hit  that  brought 
in  Terry  for  the  5-5  tie.  Ron 
Culpepper  then  hit  in  Stan  for  a 
run  and  the  6-5  victory. 
Three  SAC  games  on  agenda 

The  next  day,  Elmhurst  hosted 
the  Woodlan  Warriors.  Nothing 
seemed  to  happen  right  for  the 
Trojans  as  they  made  twelve 
errors  and  went  through  three 
pitchers.  Consequently,  Elmhurst 


lost  by  a  disappointing  U-7  score. 

Elmhurst  has  eight  more 
regular  season  games  left  in 
which  three  are  SAC.  The  SAC 
games  include  Concordia,  on 
Tuesday,  May  11,  at  Concordia; 
Wayne,  two  days  later  at 
Elmhurst;  and  South  Side,  away, 
on  Tuesday,  May  18.  If  Elmhurst 
wins  all  three,  they  have  a  chance 
at  the  SAC  championship. 

According  to  Coach 

Derbyshire,  "They're  all  tough, 
but  if  we  can  get  on  base  and  run, 
we'll  win.  We  like  to  run." 

To  back  up  that  statement, 
Ron  and  Don  Culpepper, 
together,  have  attempted  36 
stolen  bases  and  have  been 
thrown  out  only  five  times. 

Elmhurst  has  competed  in  the 
Columbia  City  Sectionals  in  past 
years,  but  this  year,  will 
participate  in  the  Huntington 
Sectionals.  It  will  start  on  May 
31,  Memorial  Day. 

Coach  Derbyshire  feels  that  the 
Huntington      Sectionals      are 
tougher.     It     includes     EHS,  < 
Wayne,  Norwell,  Huntington, 
and  Huntington  Catholic,

Girls'season  still  'love' 


Two  weeks  ago,  the  Elmhurst 
girls'  tennis  team  traveled  to 
Harding,  Bishop  Luers.  New 
Haven,  and  faced  Bishop 
Dwenger  at  home.  Last  week 
brought  Concordia  and  Snider  to 
the  Trojans'  courts,  and  although 
the  Elmhurst  players  could  not 
snatch  a  victory  from  these 
competitors,  three  out  of  the  six 
meets  were  given  away  by  only 
one  match. 
Team  loses  to  tough  competitors 

On  Apr.  26.  the  Harding 
Hawks  came  out  ahead  by  four 
matches  to  Elmhurst's  three.  In 
the  number  one  singles  slot, 
senior  Cheryl  Norton  outvolleyed 
her  opponent  6-2 .  6-4 ;  junior 
Karyn  Heiney  (number  two 
position)  was  victorious  6-1,  6-4;

During  the  past  two  weeks,  the 
Elmhurst  golf  team  has  been 
victorious  three  times  and  been 
defeated  six  times  to  boost  the 
Trojan  record  to  four  wins  and

with  43"s,  followed  by  Tim

Sims  to  come  in  with  a  55. 


The  next  day,  the  Trojans  faced 
South  Side  and  Northrop  again  at 
Brookwood.  Elmhurst,  again 
playing  in  freezing  temperatures 
and  windy  conditions,  ousted 
South  Side  165-172,  but  were

years.  Jim  McCleneghen  was 
medalist  with  a  fine  round  of  39. 
Jim  was  followed  by  Newell,  41;

FORE!  JUNIOR  TIM  SPRINGER

ray and  Jim  McCleneghen  await  their 
turns.  The  Trojans  were  hindered  by  bad 
weather  and  high  winds  throughout  last

next  day,  the  weather  shaped  up 
as  the  Trojans  again  defeated 
South  Side,  but  again  were  outhit

Dwenger.  Again,  McCleneghen 
was  medalist  for  the  Trojans  with

past  two  years.  His  round  was  a 
38.  The  team  score  was  161-170.

Oswalf    crowned    as  queen 


Prom  filled  with  mogicol  moments 


1976  Prom  queen,  junior  Ann  Oswalt,  is  seated  in  front  of  members  of  her  court.  Four  of 
the  six  girls  on  the  prom  court  are  shown  with  their  escorts.  They  are  juniors  Sheril 
Homberger,  Karyn  Heiney,  Kelly  Auer,  and  Elena  Perez.  Right  —  Students  enjoy  the 
after  prom. 


"Midnight  Rainbows,"  the  1976 
Ehnhurst  prom,  was  indeed  filled 
with  magical  moments  for  100 
couples  who  attended  the  event 
Saturday,  May  15. 

The  Baer  Field  Hilton  Inn 
housed  the  prom  and  dinner.  The 
affair  began  with  dinner  at  7  p.m. 
and  concluded  with  the  actual 
prom  from  9  p.m.  to  midnight. 

Oswalt  reigns  over  pirom 

Highlighting  the  evening  was 
the  crowning  of  junior  Ann 
Oswalt  as  prom  queen.  The  queen 
was  backed  by  her  court 
consisting  of  juniors  Kelly  Auer, 
Karyn  Heiney,  Sheril 

Homberger,       Elena       Perez, 


Wolever. 

The  J.  Branam  Trio  provided 
musical  entertainment  at  the 
prom.  The  three-piece  band 
played  a  variety  of  music, 
focusing  mainly  on  slow  dances. 

This  year,  however,  the  night 
did  not  end  at  midnight  when  the 
band  stopped  playing.  Scheduled 
from  1  to  3  a.m.  was  an 
afterprom,  which  was  held  at 
Goeglein's  Bam.  Due  to  lack  of 
interest  during  the  last  few  years, 
Elmhurst  has  not  had  an 
organized  afterprom. 

The  band  which  played  at 
Goeglein's  centered  primarily  on 


Carmetta  Walker,  and  Stephanie  square  dancing. 

Five  teachers  take 
leave  of  Elmhurst 


Mr.   Bill   Geyer 

"Kids  used  to  listen,  but  when 
you're  old,  they  just  tune  you 
out,"  cited  Mr.  Bill  Geyer, 
stating  what  significant  changes 
he  has  seen  in  the  school  system 
in  the  past  30  years  of  teaching. 
Mr.  Geyer  came  to  Elmhurst 
High  School  in  1950.  He  taught 
here  for  five  years  until  1955,  then 
,  he  went  to  South  Side  xmtil  1959. 
Upon  returning  to  Elmhurst  in 
the  fall  of  1959,  he  saw  quite  a  few 
changes  in  students,  ranging 
from  the  size  of  attendance  (350  - 
1,600  at  one  time)  to  the  inde- 
pendence of  the  students. 

Soon  to  reach  the  age  of  60,  Mr. 
Geyer  will  be  retiring  from  his 
position  as  assistant  to  the 
principal  after  this  school  year  is 
finished. 
hAr.   Robert   Sfookey 

"I'm  not  leaving  because  I 
don't  like  Elmhurst.  I  do!" 
explained  Mr.  Robert  Stookey, 
Enghsh  teacher  at  EHS.  "I'm 
leaving  because  I  want  to  start  a 
speech  program  of  my  own  and 
get  the  opportunity  to  teach 
speech,  which  T  have  not  been 
able  to  do  here." 

Mr.  Stookey  will  be  leaving 
Elmhurst  to  head  the  speech 
department  at  Wayne  High 
School   next   year.    He    will   be 


teaching  speech  and  plans  to  have 
a  better  Forum  Club  at  Wayne. 
No  replacement  has  been  selected 
to  fill  his  position  at  Elmhurst. 

Mr    Richard   Rian 

Mr.  Richard  Rian,  woods 
teacher  and  industrial  arts 
department  chairman  at  EHS,  is 
leaving  next  year  to  teach  at 
Snider  High  School. 

"Leaving  Elmhurst  gives  me 
mixed  emotions,"  stated  Mr. 
Rian.  "Snider  is  closer  to  my 
home  and  my  children  go  there, 
but  EUnhurst  is  special  to  me. 
The  people  here  eire  nice  and 
friendly.  If  Ehnhurst  was  any 
closer  I  would  not  be  leaving. 

Taking  Mr.  Rian's  place  next 
year  is  Mr.  Don  Buzzard.  Mr. 
Buzzard  taught  at  Ehnhurst  two 
years  ago  and  left  to  become  the 
industrial  arts  consultaut  for  the 
Fort  Wayne  Community  Schools. 
Mr.    Randy   Brugh 

"He's  a  lizard."  A.11  remember 
the  shouts  of  this  band  members 
at  the  basketball  games.  There 
are  a  lot  o*  things  that  will  be 
remembered  about  the  band  in 
years  to  come,  but  one  subject 
stands  out  among  the  rest  —  the 
band  diipctor,  Mr.  Randy  Brugh. 
He  did  for  Ehnhurst  something 
that  can  never  be  appreciated

Honorable  Mention 
by  Ann  Filchak 
lam 

I  truly  am. 
It's  not  just  an  illusion, 

I  exist. 
I  am  unique 

Z  can  be  the  bold,  outgoing  one 

or 
I  can  be  quiet  and  moody. 
I  can  be  the  friend  you  need, 

when  you're  down 
Or  I  can  be  the  one  who  needs 

the  comforting  shoulder. 
I  can  be  exciting,  adventurous, 

elusive  and  mystifjang. 
But  what  good  does  that  do  me 

if  you  refuse  to  notice? 
I  am  alive! 

I  cannot  go  on  being  simply 
a  body  that  takes  up  space. 

I  beg  you  -  recognize  me. 
Tell  me  I'm  something 
Tell  me  you  care. 

Go  on,  it  won't  hurt. 

It  may  even  make  you  feel  good 
and  when  you  see  the  treasures 
you  have  discovered  through 
caring. 

When  you  find  the  happiness 
that's  bound  to  come  with 
being  alive, 

maybe . . .

by  Angela  Hayden  Non-Fiction  Essay 

Nobody  likes  to  get  beat-  Least  of  all  myself.  I  know,  I  know.  You 
can't  win  'em  all,  into  every  life  some  rain  must  fall  and  all  that 
other  jazz,  but  that's  not  much  consolation  when  yoii  cross  the 
finish  line  second,  third,  or  (heaven  forbid!}  dead  last. 

You  see,  first  is  everything.  After  first,  nothing  counts. 
Historians  and  record  keepers  do  not  list  the  poor  unfortunates  who 
happen  to  come  in  with  a  second-place  finish  imder  the  record  time. 
Only  the  first  place  winner  gets  that  recognition.  Now  I'm  not 
complaining;  that's  the  way  it  should  be.  However,  that  doesn't 
make  it  any  easier  to  swallow  when  you're  standing  on  that  podium 
just  one  step  lower  than  the  lucky  wirmer  who  is  grinning  like  an 
ape  and  you're  almost  on  a  level  with  the  chump  that  got  third  and 
you're  wishing  you  could  just  snatch  that  blue  ribbon  away  and 
take  it  somewhere  and  pin  it  up  and  your  whole  family  would  stay 
up  late  just  to  see  your  own  grinning  face  on  the  10:00  p.m.  news. 

I  think  this  is  true  of  all  sports,  not  only  track.  Nobody  wants  to 
be  second  best. 

One  of  the  worst  things  that  can  happen  to  an  athlete  is  to  come 
in  second  or  third  against  somebody  you  really  wanted  to  beat  and 
then  some  sympathetic  bleeding  heart  comes  up  and  burbles,  "So? 
You  got  second.  That's  still  good!",  and  you  feel  like  knocking  that 
person  out  but  you  can't  because  your  Aiint  Zelda  is  just  trying  to 
make  you  feel  good  and  you  know  it  wouldn't  be  good  manners  for 
you  to  knock  her  two  front  teeth  out  because  they're  false  and 
they'd  cost  a  fortune  to  repair  so  you  just  kind  of  grit  your  teeth 
into  some  sort  of  a  semblance  of  a  smile  and  fight  back  the  tears 
that  come  out  anyway  and  they  say,  "They'll  be  other  races,"  and 
you're  silently  screaming  "Shut  upl  Shut  up!"  then  finally  they  let 
you  go  and  you  escape  to  the  bathroom  where  you  try  to  pull 
yourself  together  for  the  next  event  in  front  of  a  mirror  that  keeps 
blurring  in  spite  of  yourself.  I  hate  that.  And  the  funny  thin  g  is,  I 
do  it  to  other  people  all  the  time.  You'd  think  I  would  know  better, 
but  when  you  see  somebody  who's  just  lost  a  race  and  they're 
looking  so  down  you  just  have  to  say  something  and  what 
proverbial  words  should  happen  to  pop  out  of  my  mouth  but,  "Well, 
you  still  did  good,"  and  me  being  a  terrible  actress,  my  words  come 
out  so  half-heartedly  that  I'm  sure  they  don't  believe  a  word  I'm 
saying. 

But  that's  the  price  you  have  to  pay  when  you  don't  win,  which  is 
one  of  the  reasons  why  I  always  am  working  £|r  that  extra  stride 
that  will  put  me  over  the  finish  line  one  step  iBiead  of  the  rest  of 
those  monkeys.  I  simply  will  not  be  satisfierf"with  being  second 
best.  Second  is  nothing.  Second  is  a  cheap  red  ribbon  that  loudly 
announces  to  the  world  that  there  is  someone  out  there  faster  and 
better  than  you  are.  And  nobody  likes  that  cause  nobody  likes  to  get 
beat. 

Everybody  is  after  the  big  blue  and  I  know  right  now  I'm  not  the 
fastest  or  the  best,  but  I'm  going  to  strive  my  hardest  to  keep  up 
with  the  pack.  I  don't  intend  to  get  left  behind^

by  Cathy  Johnson  -  Short  Story 

(ED.  NOTE}:  The  winning  short  story  has 
been  synopsized  by  its  author  for  purposes  of 
printing  in  this  issue  of  the  paper  In  its 
entirety,  it  was  too  long  to  reproduce.) 

In  a  somewhat  isolated  western 
town,  there  were  many  ambitious 
business  people  who  wanted  the 
town  to  prosper.  The  town  sheriff. 
Brock  Cody,  was  young  and  strong 
and  even  well-liked,  but  nobody 
Ustened  when  he  warned  the  town 
council  not  to  pay  experts  from  the 
East  to  come  and  get  the  little  town 
of  Shadestop  started  in  big 
business. 

Six  men  came,  and  in  a  month's 
time,  changed  the  entire  town. 
Everyone  did  what  he  was  told,  or 
suffered  the  consequences.  All  the 
town's  money  was  controlled  by  the 
Big  Six  who  had  agreed  to  send  it 
back  east  where  it  would  triple  over 
and  over  through  investments. 

Cody  stayed  out  of  the  picture.^ 
The  people,  in  a  way,  had  asked  for 
what  they  were  getting.  But,  when 
Cody  learned  that  the  Six  were 
planning  on  skipping  town  with  over 
$80,000  which  belonged  to  the 
"decent"  citizens  of  Shadestop,  he 
felt  obligated  to  step  in. 

Cody  stopped  the  six  men  as  they 
were  leaving  Shadestop  and  asked 
for  the  money  back.  One  at  a  time, 
he  shot  three  of  them,  leaving  three 
still  to  deal  with.  Being  really  quick 
with  a  gun,  Cody  knew  he  could  take 
care  of  two  of  them,  but  the  third 
cost  him  his  Ufe.  As  the  life 
dwindled  from  his  masculine  form, 
the  pebple  stood  watching;  still  not 
quite  aware  of  what  had  taken  place 
in  their  town.

Winning  Poem 
by  Nancy  Beadie 
I  have  been  a  bird 

with  a  broken  wing, 
found  by  a  child  and  taken  in, 

fed  health 
with  a  dropper 

and  the  box  I  stayed  in. 
Perhaps  you  once 

nurtured  that  creature, 
looked  up  what  to  feed  it 

in  the  encyclopedia, 
read  sugar  water, 

and  from  some  adult 
heard  the  warning  that  the 

injured  bird  might  not  live. 
and  when  it  did,  decided  you  had 

learned  how  nature  worked. 
You  came  and  peeked  In  the  box 

before  opening,  in  the  morning 
and  after  school,  and  there  it  was, 

the  broken  bird, 
still  moving  and 

pleading  insanity,  incapability. 

You  stayed  firm  in  believing 

that  everytime  you  came 

the  invalid  knew  it  was  for  a 

feeding  in  the  steady  cup 

of  your  hand.  It  lay  there, 

stayed  there,  and  made  you 
believe,  and  became  healthy. 

You,  the  new  doctor 
were  advised  by  an  adult 

and  juvenile  novels 
on  children  and  animals, 
that  a  bird  was  made 
to  be  wild  and  ought  to  fly 
and  be  freed,  and  you, 
still  respectful  of  nature 

and  sure  its  ways 
were  imchallengeable, 

gave  in  one  afternoon, 
expecting  it  somehow  to  retiu*n, 
perched  on  a  human  tie 
I  It  couldn't  have;  being  a  bird. 
I      and  so  perhaps 


I 


j  you  know  how  deep  the  dusk  got 
{      in  the  yard  that  day 
I  when  I  didn't  come  back 
and  didn't  come  back.

Honorable  Mention 
by  Jeff  Roby 

He  meant  well,  I'm  sure; 
But  things  sort  of  got 

out  of  hand. 
He  wanted  beauty, 
But  his  creation  destroyed 

it. 
He  wanted  a  state  of 

tranquility, 
But  his  creation  wasn't 

satisfied. 
He  wanted  all  his  creation 

of  the  same  inner  being. 
But  his  creation  was  blind 

and  divided  itself  by  the 

unimportant  outer  being. 
He  gave  his  creation  part  of 

his  own  broken  knowledge 

and  a  plan; 
But  it  didn't  understand  and 

went  in  a  different  direction. 
He  tryed  to  tiu-n  his  creation 

back  on  the  right  path, 
But  it  didn't  want  to  follow. 
He  gave  his  creation  all  he  had, 
But  it  was  selfish 

and  wanted  more. 
All  he  had  wanted  was  a  paradise, 
But  his  creation  turned  it  into 

aheU. 
He  now  must  wonder  if  he  failed, 
For  he  created  a  monster . . .

For  many  seniors,  possibly  the 
biggest  decision  of  their  lives  has 
been  made.  For  others,  it  is  still 
to  come. 

The  decision  is  whether  or  not 
to  attend  college,  when  to  enroll, 
and  which  school  is  to  receive 
their  efforts.

Top  musUtans  named 


The  Elmhurst  Music 
department  held  its  annual  Music 
Awards  Banquet  Tuesday,  May 
11;  concluding  one  of  the  busiest 
years  ever  for  the  sttidents. 
Individuals  from  aU  music  areas 
were  recognized  for  their 
achievements  and  records  over 
the  past  three  years.  Preceding 
the  formal  part  of  the  program, 
parents  and  students  enjoyed  an 
informal  pot-luck  dinner,  and, 
after  the  presentations,  were 
entertained  by  the  traditional 
senior  skits. 
Livengood  named 
'Best  Musician' 

Mr.  John  Morse,  orchestra 
director,  announced  the  recipients 
of  four  orchestral  awards.  The 
Most  Improved  Player  Award 
was  given  to  junior  Ralonda 
Williams,  violinist.  The  Spirit 
Award  was  received  by  two 
players,  as  were  several  other 
awards.  Senior  oboist  Tammy 
Hughes,  and  junior  oboist  Sue 
Taylor  were  honored  with  this 
distinction.  Junior  Brian 
Schinbeckler,  drummer,  was 
given  the  Leadership  Award  for 
his  performance  and  junior  Greg 
Livengood  was  named  Best 
-  Musician  for  his  talent  as  a 
trumpeter. 

Band  director,  Mr.  Randy 
Brugh,  presented  the  three  major 
instrumental  and  jazz«  band 
awards.  The  Ivan  Miller 
Memorial   Award,   presented   to 


the  best  junior  jazz  player,  was 
given  to  trumpeter  Greg 
Livengood.  The  Best  Jazz 
Musician  Award,  voted  on  by 
members  of  all  three  jazz 
ensembles,  was  awarded  to  senior 
Bill  Moring,  bass  player  in  the 
3:00  jazz  band.  Finally,  the  Arion 
Award,  given  to  the  top  band 
musician{s},  was  presented  to 
seniors  Wes  Byrne  and  Verne 
Myers,  both  of  whom  are  clarinet 
and  saxophone  players. 

Johnson  and  Shaw  receive 
'American  Choral  Award' 

The  choral  awards  were  pre- 
sented by  Mr.  Al  Schmutz.  Senior 
Andrea  Marchese  was  the 
recipient  of  the  Chopin  Piano 
Award  for  her  fine 
accompaniment  of  the  choir. 
Seniors  Claudia  Johnson  and 
Allen  Shaw  received  the 
American  Choral  Award,  the 
equivalent  of  the  Arion  Award. 
Claudia  and  Allen  sing  tenor  and 
bass,  respectively. 

Twirlers,  pom-poms 
receive  recognition 

Finally,  Mrs.  Catherine  Russell 
presented  letters  and  pins  to 
members  of  the  twirler  and  pom- 
pom squads.  All  students  were 
eligible  for  a  letter,  pin,  or  pin- 
guard,  based  on  total  points.  The 
program  closed  with  the  choir  and 
band  skits,  as  seniors  took  a 
humorous  look  at  their  past  three 
years. 


The  school  year  is  coming  to  an 
end  and  it's  time  for  the  foreign 
exchange  students  to  return  to 
their  homelands.  The  Trojans 
enjoyed  having  these  people  and 
are  sorry  they  are  leaving.  Most 
of  them  will  be  going  home  to 
spend  additional  years  in  school. 

Pep  sessions  enjoyed  by  Telma 

Telma  Azevedo  commented 
she's  a  little  homesick  but  wants 
■io  stay  and  learn  more  about 
America.  At  home  she  will  attend 
another  semester  of  school  and 
then  graduate.  Telma  enjoyed 
most  of  the  activities  at  Elmhurst 
throughout  the  year.  "I  enjoyed 
very  much  the  pep  sessions, 
basketball  games,  and  all  the 
activities,"       stated      Telma. 


Lutheran  Hospital  School  of 
Nursing. 

The  United  States  government 
will  be  receiving  the  services  of 
four  other  seniors.  Terry  Sims  has 
entered  the  National  Guard; 
Raymond  Walker,  Army;  and 
both  Judy  Wright  and  Vickie 
Worman,  Navy. 

As  for  the  employed  Trojans, 
Tim  Bangert  will  be  spending  his 
time  as  a  drafting  trainee  at 
Lawton  Park;  Connie  Bamett,  a 
nurse's  aid  at  St.  Anne's  Nursing 
Home;  and  Sue  Marquis,  a 
secretary  for  Fluor  Alaska,  Inc. 

All  in  all,  the  upperclassmen 
will  be  going  their  own  separate 
ways,  but  will  probably  always 
remember  their  days  at  EHS. 


Referring  to  the  beginning  of  the 
year,  she  said,  "The  teachers  and 
friends  helped  me  very  much  in 
the  beginning,  and  helped  me  to 
enjoy  it  more." 

Sydia  Furtado  wants  to  become 
a  dentist,  but  first,  she  has  two 
years  of  school  to  complete  in 
Brazil.  She  commented,  "I  didn't 
know  any  English  when  I  first 
came  to  the  United  States  and 
everybody  has  been  so  helpful  to 
me.  Everybody  here  at  Elmhurst 
is  my  friend." 

Luc  Schulpen's  first  impression 
of  Elmhurst  was  one  he  thinks  is 
true  for  almost  all  American 
schools  —  "Schools  here  are 
much  easier  than  in  Belgium; 
although  we  have  some  schools 
similar  to  the  American  type,  the 
majority  of  our  schools  are  much 
harder  and  more  disciplined." 
'  Luc  liked  the  idea  of  having  a 
wide  variety  of  subjects.  In 
Belgium,  you  go  to  a  special 
school  or  participate  in  activities 
after  school.  Luc  noticed  the 
negative  rules  of  Elmhurst  first 
from  non-existent  spirit  to  the 
tendency  to  form  cliques.  The 
people  always  hang  out  together 
and  it  is  hard  to  break  through 
this.  Concerning  the  future,  Luc 
said,  "I  graduated  last  year  from 
high  school,  so  now  I  have  to 
make  another  choice. " 

Andrea  Janser,  as  Luc, 
commented  on  how  much  easier 
the  work  is  in  the  U.S.A.  She  said 
she  really  hasn't  done  anything 
all  yearl  She'll  be  returning  to

To  the  editor: 

We,  the  solo  speech  team  at 
Ehnhurst,  are  tired  of  the  lack  of 
recognition  Mr.  Stookey  has 
gotten  for  his  work  with  the  team, 
speech  program  and  the  Forum 
Club  at  Elmhurst. 

Mr.  Stookey  goes  above  and 
beyond  the  call  of  duty  in  the 
amount  of  time  he  spends  before 
and  after  school,  during  lunch 
hours  and  on  Saturdays  coaching 
and  organizing.  He  has  no  class 
time  to  use  for  forensics. 

Elmhursfs  speech  program  is 
made  up  of  two  teams  — 
debate  and  solo.  Both  are  very 
successful.  In  the  past,  nearly  all 
credit  has  gone  to  Mr.  Storey  and 
it's  not  fair. 

Without  the  guidance  and  dedi- 
cation of  Mr.  Stookey,  speech 
here  would  not  be  nearly  as  good 
as  it  is.  The  solo  speech  team  is 
proud  of  its  coach  and  we  know 
that  with  him.  we  will  be  better 
next  year  than  we  have  ever  been. 

Thank  you,  Mr.  Stookey.  We're 
afraid  we  haven't  shown  you  how 


grateful  we  are.  We  don't  want 
anyone  to  ever  underestimate  the 
importance  of  your  work.  You're 
a  great  coach.

To  the  editor: 

As  a  student  of  Mr. 
Derbyshire's  second  period 
geometry  class,  I  must  agree  with 
"A  Fan."  After  all,  how  could  a 
poor  coach  take  us  to  a  sectional 
victory  and  to  the  semi-state  level 
'  last  year?  Besides  being  a  great 
baseball  coach,  he  is  also  a  great 
teacher.  Mr.  Derbyshire,  1  think 
you're  O.K.!  More  power  to  you.

In  reference  to  the  departure  of 
Mr.  Brugh,  1,  who  am  not  a

sorry  to  see  him  go.  He  helped 
build  the  bands  to  their  number 
one  position,  and  he  and  his  wife 
are  two  wonderful  people.  I,  for 
one,  will  miss  Mr.  Brugh.  I  am 
very  sorry  to  see  him  go.

Members  of  the  class  of  1976 

Three  years  ago.  I  came  to  Elmhurst  as  its  principal,  and  three  years 
ago  you  came  to  Elmhurst  as  new  sophomores.  These  past  three  years 
have  gone  rapidly  for  me  and  they  have  been  three  very  rewarding 
years  I  realize,  too,  that  you  must  have  mixed  feeUngs  about 
graduation.  You  are  happy  to  leave,  but  at  the  same  time,  you  are 
going  to  leave  friends  and  a  routine  that  has  been  with  you  for  three 
years. 

You  are  capable,  enthusiastic.  skiUful.  and  knowledgeable  young 
men  and  women  and  I  would  encourage  you  to  continue  to  be  what  you 
are  -  concerned,  courageous  people,  dedicated  to  make  a  better  world 
for  aU  You  are  entering  a  world  with  problems,  but  problems  make 
chaUenges.  and  chaUenges  are  what  it's  aU  about.  I  am  optimistic  m 
believing  you  will  make  the  most  of  the  challenges  that  are  here  for 
you. 

We  have  Uttle  to  offer  this  world  but  service  to  others,  and  I  would 
hope  that  if  nothing  else  has  been  learned  in  the  past  three  years,  that 
you  will  look  to  give  of  yourself  as  you  step  into  this  adult  world  of 
ours.  We  need  your  help. 

I  personaUy  would  like  to  thank  each  of  you  for  the  courtesies  and 
help  extended  to  me  during  my  past  three  years.  I  have  come  to  know 
many  of  you  very  weU  and  I  hope  I  have  gained  friendships  that  will  be 
lasting  friendships.  May  God  bless  you  as  you  leave  the  halls  of 
Elmhurst,  and  may  your  lives  be  filled  with  joy  and  satisfaction. 


Your  Principal.

Self-improvement  in  student  clubs 


As  another  school  year  draws 
to  a  close,  some  students  may 
ask,  "What  have  I  accomplished 
this  past  year  at  Elmhurst  that 
has  meaning  to  me? 

It's  a  simple  question,  yet  some 
may  find  it  difficult  to  answer.  If 
the  question  hits  home  with  some 
students  and  they  realize  they 
want  to  do  something  about  it. 


then  perhaps  they  should  take  a 
look  around  school  and  see  the 
many  worthwhile  clubs  and 
organizations. 

Clubs  offer  'everything' 

To  begin  with,  the  American 
Field  Service  (AFS)  gives 
students  an  opportunity  to  travel 
and  study  in  foreign  lands.  DECA 
and  COE  relate  the  workings  of 


business  management  and  sales- 
manship. Afro-American  Club 
presents  black  culture  and 
heritage,  plus  many  social  events 
on  their  calendar. 


Forum  Club,  or  the  speech 
team,  gives  students  a  chance  to 
test  their  versatility  in  presenting 
many  kinds  of  oratories.  It  also 
helps  develop  poise  and  self- 
confidence  when  speaking  in  front 
of  people. 


Publications  means  hard  work 

Then    there    is    publications, 


where  creative  and  willing  people 
are  needed  to  put  together  the 

newspaper  and  yearbook.  The 
staffs  work  very  hard  to  put  out 
these  publications  which  have 
received  high  acclaim  on  state 
and  national  levels. 

So,  Trojans,  look  around. 
Think  about  joining  these 
organizations  when  planning 
next  year.  There  must  be 
something  around  Elmhurst  that 
will  bring  on  a  worthwhile  feeling. 
Come  on!  Get  involved! 


lipstick'  displays    justice? 


by  Marilynn  Scherer 

What  do  you  do  if  you're  a  gor- 
geous model,  irresistible  to  47  per 
cent  of  the  population,  and  one 
man  decides  to  rape  you?  Why, 
the  logical  answer  is  let  the  great 
American  justice  reign  . .  .  take  it 
to  court!  But,  what  if  the  jury 
finds  the  rapist  not  guilty?  What 
do  you  do  then?  You  retreat  to  the 


traditions  of  the  Old  West,  take 
law  into  your  own  hands,  and  let 
American  justice  sputter  from 
the  open  end  of  your  rifle. 

Hemingway  sisters 
star  in  "Lipstick" 

At  least  that's  the  logical  con- 
.  elusion     conceived     by      the 


producers  of  "Lipstick."  Starring 
Margaux  Hemingway  and 
featuring  her  younger  sister, 
Mariel,  the  movie  brings  to  life 
the  horror  and  frustration  of  a 
woman  fighting  for  her  life  -  in 
court- 

Chris  Sarandon  plays  the  torrid 
part  of  the  demented  music 
teacher  who  inevitably  rapes  the 
beautiful  model.  Sarandon  was 
earlier  featured  as  a  homosexual 
in  the  Oscar  award  nominee  for 
Best  Picture  of  the  Year  r  "Dog 
Day  Afternoon."  Sarandon's 
ability  to  act,  which  merited  him 
an  Oscar  nomination,  reigned  in 
"Lipstick"  as  he  vividly  painted 
the  character  of  a  sick  human 
being. 


Novices  and  professionals 
shape  film 

The  Hemingway  sisters  were 
both  beginners  in  the  movie  field, 
but  their  novice  ideals  made  for 
better  emotions  and  more  clear- 
cut  character  actions. 

With  the  experience  of  a  superb 
actress,  Anne  Bancroft,  who 
played  the  defense  attorney, 
' ' Lipstick"  rounded  out  to  a 
smooth-moving  and  exciting 
picture  of  human  emotion. 

It's  a  Dino  DeLaurentiis 
release,  a  film  we  feel  well  worth 
the  time  and  money.  "Lipstick" 
is  an  old  story  with  a  dangerous 
twist. 


Diamondmen  drop  out  of  SRC  race 


The  Elmhurst  baseball  team 
mtinues  to  show  its  strength  on 

.e  lii-^mcnd,   ts  they  have  won 

or  out  o'  '.heir  last  six  games. 

On  May  11,  the  Trojans 
traveled  to  Concordia  for  what 
,  roved  to  be  a  tight  battle.  The 
Trojans  scored  one  nm  each  in  the 
second,  fourth,  and  fifth  innings 
to  take  a  3-1  lead.  The  Cadets 
didn't  quit,  however,  and 
whacked  a  two-run  homer  in  the 
sixth  inning  to  even  the  score,  3-3. 

The  seventh  inning  showed 
some  hope  for  Elmhurst  as  they 
had  two  runners  on  base  with  no 
outs.  The  next  three  outs  came 
easily  for  Concordia,  though,  as 
the  Trojans  popped  up,  grounded 
out,  and  got  a  force  out. 

The  Cadets  scored  their  fourth 
(and  winning)  run  in  the  bottom 
of  the  seventh  inning.  The  final 
score  was  4-3. 

Two  days  later,  the  Wayne 
Generals  met  Elmh\u-st  on  the 
Trojan  diamond.  By  the  end  of 
the  second  inning,  the  situation 
looked  hopeless  for  the  Trojans  as 
they  were  behind  by  a  bruismg  4- 
0  score.  Nevertheless,  the  game 


was  not  over  for  Elmhurst.  In  the 
third  inning,  Elmhurst  tallied  five 
runs  which  proved  to  be  the 
winning  margin. 

The  five  runs  came  as  a  result 
of  senior  Terry  Smith's  scoring  on 
a  Wayne  error.  Senior  Stan 
Sorgen  was  walked  in,  senior  Dan 
Landrigan  smacked  a  single  and 
drove  in  two  runs,  and  senior 
John  Flotow  popped  a  sacrifice 
fly  to  drive  in  the  winning  run. 

On  May  18,  Elmhurst  and  the 
South  Side  Archers  met  at 
McMillen  Park.  Elmhurst 
dropped  this  important  SAC 
game  by  a  disappointing  tally  of 
10-3.  The  only  runs  for  the 
Trojans  came  in  the  first  and 
sixth  innings. 

In  the  first,  senior  Don 
Culpepper  stole  second  and  third 
base  and  then  scored  on  a  fielders 
choice.  The  other  two  runs  came 
as  a  result  of  junior  Brian 
Russell's  two-run  homer. 

Coach  Bill  Derbyshire 
commented,  "Our  defense  was 
poor  and  we  made  many  mental 
errors.  Mental  errors  have  killed 
us  this  year." 


On  Wednesday,  May  19.  the 
Trojans  traveled  to  Norwell  to  be 
pitted  against  the  Knights.  This 
game  was  nothing  but  an  ego 
booster  for  Elmhurst.  The 
Trojans  totally  annihilated  the 
Knights  by  a  score  of  14-7.  The 
Trojans  scored  five  nms  in  the 
first  inning,  four  runs  in  the 
second,  three  in  the  third,  and  the 
last  two  runs  in  the  fourth  inning. 
Everybody  on  the  Trojan  team 
played  in  the  game  and  it  was 
never  close.  Elmhurst  also  set  a 
new  school  record  for  the  most 
hits  in  a  game  —  19. 

Coach  Derbyshire  jokingly 
commented  about  the  game,  "We 
would  have  liked  to  have  about 
ten  of  those  runs  in  the  South 
Side  game!" 

Last  Saturday,  Elmhurst 
found  themselves  at  New  Haven 
to  take  on  Che  Bulldogs  in  a 
double  -  header.  The  Trojans 
defeated  the  Bulldogs  by  a  score 
of  3-2  in  the  first  match. 
Elmhurst  also  secured  a  victory 
in  the  second  game  by  a  score  of 
6-3.

Well,  this  is  the  last  column. 
"From  the  Sidelines"  will,  after 
this  issue,  be  buried  alongside 
"Tom's  Topics"  by  Tom  Jarjour, 
"Mike's  Side,"  the  1974-75  sports 
column  by  Mike  Landrigan,  and 
"Kaleidoscope  of  Sports,"  this 
year's  contributions  from 
columnist  Kevin  Lee.  Maybe 
buried  is  a  good  word,  because 
oftentimes  this  reporter  Uterally 
dug  to  find  many  of  the  facts  in 
sports  —  facts  that  some  people 
disliked. 
Need  for  apology  not  felt 

So  relax,  Mr.  Bienz,  because 
quite  a  few  things  unearthed  in 
this  column  will  be  buried  along 
with  it.  My  column  was  strictly 
opinion.  I  haven't  felt  the  need  to 
apologize  for  anything  said. 
Maybe  people  didn't  like  what 
"Sidelines"  said,  but  evidently  it 
was  accepted,  because  the  letters 
to  the  editor  never  got  too  tough 
with  us. 

At  the  Quill  and  Scroll  banquet 
this  year,  I  was  presented  the 
"Alienation  Award;"  basically 
because  my  column  alienated  the 
entire  athletic  department  at 
Elmhurst.  It  was  in  fun,  of 
course,  but  alienate?  Just  because 
I  put  down  in  print  what  others 
were  saying  in  th  e  halls? 
'People  are  sports' 

Statistics,  win-loss  records, 
equipment,  and  the  like  are  insig- 
nificant. Sports  should  deal  first 
and  foremost  with  people. 
Coaches,    our    athletic    director. 


and  our  athletes  are  people  . . .  not 
to  mention  the  parents  in  the 
stands  . . .  people  who  feel  things  . 
.  .  people  who  cannot  understand 
the  apathy  of  their  supporters. 
Competition  in  any  sport  is  tight, 
and  forcing  the  idea  of  numbers 
and  issues,  instead  of  a  person's 
feelings,  is  detrimental.  People 
are  sports.  The  game  could  not  go 
on  without  the  strength, 
perseverance,  and  determination 
of  the  people  involved. 

Winning  is  not  the  only  thing 
concerned  in  an  athletic  event. 
Sure,  it's  nice  to  win.  People  have 
a  certain  amount  of  pride  for  a 
team  that  has  a  successful 
winning  record.  When  winning 
becomes  the  main  force  behind 
the  game  —  when  people  are  only 
playing  to  win  and  willing  to  use 
any  tactics  —  that's  when  we  lose 
sight  of  the  main  cog  in  the  wheel 
of  sports. 

Maybe  things  will  change, 
though,  because  every  year  we 
have  different  athletes,  and 
people  change  as  the  years  go  on. 

Sportsmanship  — 
Trojan  tradition 

Elmhurst  has  been,  in  the  past, 
highly  honored  with 

sportsmanship  awards,  and  there 
is  no  reason  why  we  cannot  hold 
the  tradition  through  our  next 
hundred  years. 

Good  luck  and  best  wishes  to 
all  seniors  graduating,  and  may 
the  sophomores  and  juniors  of 
EHS  find  the  loyalty  and  inner 
pride  it  takes  to  build  a  great 
*hool. 


The  score  was  2-1  at  the  end  of 
the  first  iiming,  but  didn't  stay 
that  way  very  long.  Elmhurst 
exploded  for  five  nms  in  the 
second  inning  to  have  the 
advantage  for  the  rest  of  the 
game. 

The  road  for  Elmhurst  has  not 
been  a  smooth  one  this  year,  as 
Coach  Derbyshire  stated,  "Seven 
out  of  nine  starters  were  injured 
at  one  time.  Four  of  them  still 
aren't  100  per  cent." 

He  also  added,  "Team  wise, 
I'm  surprised  we  haven't  hit  the 
ball  very  well."  Coach  Derbyshire 
feels  their  base-running  abiUties 
make  up  for  it  though.  They  have 
been  thrown  out  only  five  times 
this  year  while  attempting  to 
steal. 

Last  year,  Elmhurst  competed 
in  the  Columbia  City  Sectionals 
and  won.  This  year,  however, 
they  will  participate  in  the 
Huntington  Sectionals  on 
Memorial  Day.  The  contest 
includes  EHS,  Wayne,  Norwell, 
Huntington,  and  Huntington 
Catholic.

SENIOR  ETHEL  POWLKES  DEMONSTRATES  the  form  that  won  her  numerous 
track  awards  throughout  the  year.  Ethel  also  competed  on  the  440;  and  880-yard  relay 
team. 

Tmksters  rated  7th 


by  Casey  Miller 

Tuesday,  May  18,  the  girls' 
track  team  rated  seventh  out  of 
21  schools  with  junior  Angle 
Hayden  placing  second  in  the 
hurdles  and  junior  Emma  Bostic 
third  in  the  long  jxmip  in  sectional 
competition.  The  440-  and  880- 
yard  relay  team  ,of  seniors  Betty 
Carrion  and  Ethel  Fowlkes, 
juniors  Evelyn  Fowlkes  and 
Angle  Hayden  placed  third  in 
both  events. 

"Due  to  a  lack  of  participants, 
we  can't  enter  all  of  the  activities 
in  a  meet,"  explained  coach 
Catherine  Russell.  Many  minor 
injuries  that  occurred  during 
practice  also  made  it  difficult  for 
the  group.  Coach  Russell  stated, 
"Sixty  girls  signed  up,  but  we  are 
now  left  with  only  14  to  compete. 


Out  of  these  girls,  runners  in  the 
100-  and  220-yard  dashes,  80-yard 
hurdles,  440  relay,  and  880 
medley  qualified  for  the 
sectionals.  Other  qualifiers  were 
in  the  field  events  of  long  jump, 
high  jump,  and  shot  put." 

Regionals  were  held  yesterday, 
and  Emma  Bostic  and  Angle 
Hayden  qualified  to  represent  the 
Trojans  in  the  competition.  They 
will  be  entered  in  the  events  of 
long  jimip  and  100-yard  dash 
(Emma),  and  the  hurdles  (Angle). 

Coach  Russell  looks  optimistic 
about  next  year's  team,  as  only 
two  seniors  will  be  leaving.  With 
most  of  the  members  having  two 
years  of  experience  by  next 
season,  she  plans  on  giving  the 
opposition  a  very  tough  time.

The  Elmhurst  girls  tennis 
equad  pulled  out  their  first  vic- 
tory over  Northrop  to  wind  up 
their  season  with  an  SAC  record 

ofi-n. 

This  year,  the  girls  have  had  a 
tradition  of  bringing  their  meets 
right  down  to  the  wire,  and  then 
losing  in  close,  hard-fought,  3-4 
matches.  However,  thia  was  not 
the  case  as  Elmhurst  walked  off 
the  courts  with  a  smashing  5-2 
defeat  over  the  Bruins. 
Playing    in    the    number    one 


singles  position,  senior  Cheryl 
Norton  outmaneuvered  her 
opponent  to  an  easy  6-2,  6-4 
victory.  Then,  junior  Karyn 
Heiney,  number  two  singles, 
raked  in  another  Trojan  victory  4- 
6,  7-6,  6-3,  and  was  followed  by 
still  another  Bruin  defeat  by 
junior  June  Williams  6-4,  7-5. 

That's  not  all!  Both  EHS 
doubles  teams  were  victorious, 
also.  The  number  one  team  of 
juniors  Lori  McCleneghen  and 
Elena  Perez  won  6-4,  7-6,  6-4, 
while  juniors  Jan  Dowling  and 
Carmetta  Walker  won  in  a  three- 
set  match  2-6,  6-3,  7-6. 

Two  days  later,  the  Trojans 
met  South  Side,  but  didn't  come 
out  as  well,  as  Elmhurst  was 
downed  2-5.  However,  the  two 
victors  for  Ebnhurst  were  Karyn 
3-6,  7-6,  6-4,  and  June  6-1,  3-6.  7-6. 

In  their  last  meet  of  the  season, 
EHS  squared  off  with  Homestead 
and  again  came  home  with  two 
victories.  Karjm  won  an  easy 
match  against  her  Spartan 
contender  6-0,  7-5,  and  likewise, 
Leslie  Collier  won  6-4,  6-2. 

This  meet  ended  the  regular 
season,  but  the  sectional 
tournament  began  the  next 
morning.  Playing  number  one, 
Cheryl  won  her  first  match  6-3,  6- 
4,  but  was  later  defeated  in  the 
second  round.

Linhsmen  swing  to  uictory 


by  Tim  Springer 

During  the  past  two  weeks,  the 
Elmhurst  golf  team  has  been 
victorious  once  and  defeated  five 
times.  However,  three  out  of  the 
five  losses  have  been  very  close 
matches. 

On  Monday,  May  10,  the 
Trojans  were  outhit  by  a  strong 
Homestead  team  at  Foster  Park. 
With  warm  temperatures  and 
clear  skies,  the  Trojans  linksmen 
just  couldn't  get  started  as  the 
Spartans  beat  the  visiting  team 
161-173.  Sophomore  Marty  Rifkin 
was  low  man  for  Elmhurst  with  a 
42,  followed  by  Mark  Newell  43, 
Tim  Springer  and  Jim 
McCleneghen  44,  and  Matt 
Vondran  turned  in  a  48. 

The  following  afternoon,  the 
Trojans  met  the  Harding  Hawks 
and  Bishop  Luers  Knights. 
Playing  on  home  territory,  the 
Men  of  Troy  defeated  Luers,  but 
were  blasted  by  Harding.  The 
final  score  showed  Harding  on 
top  with  a  total  of  159;  Elmhurst 
was  second  with  a  166,  and  last 
but  not  least,  Luers  total  added 
up  to  172. 

Once  again  Rifkin  was  medalist 
for  Elmhurst  with  a  score  of  39. 
Right  behind  Rifkin  was  Springer 
with  a  40,  McCleneghen  turned  in 


a  43,  and  a  44  was  turned  in  by 
Newell.  Dave  Murray  played  fifth 
man  and  came  in  with  a  47. 

Two  days  later,  the  Trojan 
linksmen  traveled  to  Colonial 
Oaks  Golf  Course.  North  Side  and 
Snider  were  to  be  close 
competitors  for  Elmhurst  and 
they  proved  their  point.  The 
Trojans  were  downed  by  three 
strokes  from  each  team.  North 
Side  and  Snider  tied  at  166  and 
Elmhurst  tallied  a  169.  Low  for 
Elmhurst  was  Springer  with  a  38, 
followed  by  Newell  42,  Rifkin  43, 
McCleneghen  46,  and  Sims  47. 

The  next  afternoon,  Friday, 
May  14,  the  Trojans  took  another 
trip.  This  time  to  Parlor  City  Golf 
Course  in  Bluffton  to  confront 
Norwell.  With  the  best  team  score 
of  the  year  ( or  the  last  three  years 
for  that  matter),  a  160,  the 
Trojans  were  still  defeated  by  two 
shots.  Although  the  visiting  team 
was  defeated,  McCleneghen  took 
advantage  of  the  warm  weather 
and  turned  in  a  super  round  of  35. 
Rifkin  was  three  behind  with  a  38, 
followed  by  Springer  41,  Newell 
46,  and  Sims  49. 

With  two  more  matches  for  the 
Trojans,  their  record  now  stands 
at  6-17  overall  and  5-17  in  the 
SAC. 


Successfully  defending  his  880 
crown,  junior  Tim  Lee  led  the 
Elmhurst  Trojans  to  a  seventh 
place  finish  in  the  Fort  Wayne 
track  sectionals  which  consisted 
of  21  teams. 

Lee,  who  is  the  defending 
regional  champion  in  Fort 
Wayne,  won  his  specialty  with  a 
time  of  1:54.7.  Tim  had  ten  of  the 
Trojans'  26  points.  Snider  won 
the  meet  with  84  points. 

Relay  team  captures  fourth 

Senior  Bradford  Smith, 
running  the  440  yard  dash,  placed 
third  with  a  time  of  50.6  seconds. 

The  mile  relay  team,  which 
consisted  of  seniors  Rick  Knuth 
and  Bob  Levy,  junior  Tim  Lee, 
and  sophomore  Mike  Starks, 
placed  fourth  with  a  time  of 
3:25.7.  According  to  Coach  Don 
Kemp,  "That's  the  fastest  mile 


880  crown  to  Lee 


relay  team  we've  had  in  a  couple 
of  years."  Starks  led  off  with  a 
51.0  second  split.  Lee  ran  the 
second  leg  is  51.3,  followed  in  the 
third  leg  by  Levy  with  a  split  of 
63.3.  Anchorman  Knuth  ran  a 
split  of  60.1.  This  totaled  up  to 
3:26.7  and  fourth  place. 

Troians  advance  to  regionals 

Junior  Doug  Peters  was  fourth 
in  the  shot  put  with  a  throw  of  53 
feet  2'/i  inches. 

Also  placing  for  Elmhurst  were

vault  with  a  height  of  13'0"  and 
senior  Tony  Green  in  the  220  with 
a  time  of  22.9  seconds.

7  p.m.  TTiey  are  Tim  Lee  in  the 
880,  Brad  Smith  in  the  440,  and
