COME MEET US

The students and faculty here at CCHS are of a special breed. There is a closeness here not found at many other schools. By the end of your first year here you feel the closeness in everyone's faces as they pass you by and say, v x H i " Everyone knows everyone else and if anyone is hurt or ill there is sadness everywhere.

Spirit and friendship are always present as students engage in fun together. There may only be a few students here but we have all learned to love each other and enjoy ourselves here at CCHS.

Culver Presents: STUDENT LIFE

Freshmen Newness Fades Away Mr. Garver plays a leading role as freshman class sponsor.

Randy James, president of the Freshman Class, takes part in the Leadership Conference. Mr. French and Mr. Dillon look on with interest.

Anne Wiggin has had a hard day. These are the eyes of learning.

Biology I is a requirement for all freshmen to graduate. Ann Fox concentrates.

The day is August 25, 1976. The place is CCHS. The following is an account of one freshman's first day of high school life. Listen carefully, as we bring you the inside story. x xHow did I ever get myself into this mess? What happened to the simplicity I knew in J r . High? Excuse me, sir, could you tell me how to get to room 205? Down the hall and third door to the left? Thank you very much. Oh no! Girls restroom? Rule one: never ask a senior for directions.77

This may be an exaggeration, but many freshmen find it difficult

to adjust to this new environment. High school life differs from any experience the freshmen have ever had. The rules are different, the responsibilities greater, and the fun is double.

After freshmen become oriented with school policies they begin to get involved. Many opportunities are open. Clubs plead with freshmen to join. The sport spotlight is available to shine on all who wish to compete. Excitement now combines with warmness, and the freshmen are accepted.

Homecoming projects attract the attention of many freshmen. Doug Farmer heads this active group.

FOOTBALL CROWDS The spirit of a crowd. CCH.S. IN ACTION!

Crowded into a line, everyone who makes a football team work.

Football Fans at Cavalier Field! The Football fans were abundant this year. If games were on how loud you cheered, or how fired-up a team was, or how crazy the fans were, Culver Cavaliers would rank number one.

If secret T.V. cameras were watching all the high school football games in Indiana, what would they see? At the South Central football field the cameraman would see a few fans huddling together in a corner, not participating and uninterested in the game. At the Tri-County football field he would see a couple of cheerleaders standing in front of empty bleachers only to cheer at the football lights. At Cavalier field the cameraman would see the entire grandstand

filled with people of every age clapping and stomping. And if he tunes the T.V. in a little more he can even see some Cavaliers shivering from the terribly cold weather. What courage the fans have to expose themselves to the bitter cold of Indiana. The excitement is so tremendous the cameraman can stand it no longer. He simply has to turn the volume on. u Wow!" What enthusiasm, what loudness, the fans are going wild! He can hear above the roar Coach Heath giving last minute instructions to the team.

The cameraman may think that this is an extraordinary game—the fans are so excited! But we know better. This is just an ordinary game for the Culver Cavaliers.

Mary O'Grady may be little, but she sure is tough!

Mr. Reese awaits the beginning of another Health Class.

Brett Baker, are you loitering in the hall again?

Mr. Hummel watches as Joe Sheppard makes his decisive move.

Ces Walter, our queen, taking her victory lap. Cam Tinsley and Mark Wamsley taking their final walk as last year's king and queen of CCHS.

Standing proudly for their classes are our underclassmen homecoming candidates.

Terri Reinholt congratulates Larry Miller, representing FFA in winning first place in the homecoming parade.

Cam Tinsley, last year's queen, crowns our newly reigning homecoming queen, Ces .Walter.

What happens when you take a CCHS football game and add the following ingredients: a parade, a queen contest, a dance, and hundreds of excited kids? Obviously the final result can be nothing but a CCHS football homecoming.

Homecoming 77 proved different from all others in the past. The first football homecoming in Culver's history was achieved. A parade enhanced the morale of everyone who attended. The student council organized the affair. The stage was set for a new and wonderful experience that had not yet been born at CCHS.

Holly Bowman, the trainer, leads our Cavalier, Tim Overmyer on his victory ride. Carl Koebbe, looking very distinguished, M.C.'s our first football homecoming.

What's the matter, Rory, is the crown too tight? Jubilant Rory Smith awaits his crowning by Scot McKinnis, as newly crowned queen Juli McCombs and a smiling court look on with excitement.

The annual Junior-Senior Prom was held May 1, 1976 at the Grand Country Barn outside of Star City. Many students, faculty members and guests attended the prom last year making it a very crowded and exciting event. The King and Queen were Rory Smith and Juli McCombs. This came about after long and complicated voting procedures. The total preparation for the prom was involved as Junior Class members spent many hard working months to make it all come about. The sponsor for the 1975-76 Junior Class was Mr. Richie and the class officers were: Scot McKinnis, pres., John DeWitt, vice pres., and Kelly Middleton, sec.-tres. All in all the Prom was a big success, and the Seniors seemed to appreciate the work done for them.

Everyone seems to be enjoying himself on the crowded dance floor as the band plays and the prom-goers dance to the music.

JUNIORS HAVE MAY DAY PROM

Alice, watch where your going! The Spokane band members play in the background while Alice Kelso dances.

Senior Class president Debbie Dancy, and V. president Bob Craycraft enjoy activities at the prom.

There is a high enrollment in the Social Studies department. The large enrollment proves that there are many interesting areas of study, right? Or could it be that at least three courses in this department are required to graduate?

This year's football season was an exciting one! We didn't win all our games, but everyone was full of the football spirit. We only won 3 out of our 8 varsity games, but some were really close. V NDoc" Heath said our games against North Judson, Winamac and S. Central, were all decided in the last 4 min. of the game.

Our B-team and freshman team also did not have much luck, as their records were both 0 and 3. Awards for outstanding accomplishments were given at a convocation at the end of the season; they went to: Bruce Musical—Outstanding offensive back, Rick Scott—Outstanding offensive lineman, Larry Boyne—Outstanding defensive back, and Mark Pratt received the mental attitude award.

What a great team! What an exciting season!

It was a touching moment for all as Mrs. Walter Scott presented the flag to team captains, Tony Kozlowski, Bruce Musial, and her son, Rick Scott.

We have again passed through another volleyball season, coming out victorius for both Varsity and J r . Varsity. The girls were all very dedicated and spirited throughout the year and that's exactly what it takes to be a winner.

Practices began before school started and were normally everyday for two hours. The new season brought in quite a few interested freshmen who were all ready to give their 100% toward teamwork. The first week was full of exercises and practicing the basics of volleyball such as bumping, setting, and serving. With time, the skills of everyone matured and it was time to push forward to the more advanced volleyball. Overhand serves began,

skimming the net, spikes were becoming a must, and most important, the team was playing together as a whole. They were ready for their first game!

Coach Nancy Luebcke commented, X XI am looking forward to next year, for I have ten returning letter-persons who I feel will carry Culver volleyball through another winning season." She also said, x xWe are losing two important seniors from the team, Mari Measles and Carla Foust."

Announced at the Sports Convocation were: Most Valuable Player, Mari Measles, and Mental Attitude, Brenda Crowel. These girls were chosen by their fellow teammates.

Congratulations on a winning season girls!

The 1976-77 girls basketball season proved to be very successful. Their season record showed 9 wins and 6 losses, but most important, a sectional win. This championship was very gratifying because it is the only back to back sectional win in the school.

THE JOHNSONS MIKE & D E B B I E

MANAGERS

THE CAVALCADE CREATORS Scot McKinnis (co-editor), Amy Coffin, Susie Wildes (co-editor), Tammi Overley, Sue Bauer, Dee Mikesell, Pam McCune, Tony Dowd, and not pictured, Brenda Crowel and sponsor, Miss McMunn.

The Senior Class officers are: Pam McCune, S e c , J im McFarlane, Pres., Bob Scott, V. Pres., Mrs. Winters, sponsor. The Senior Class officers were responsible for making many important decisions involving money-making projects for their Senior Trip.

The National Honor Society of CCHS consists of twenty-seven members. To be a member of the Honor Society, you must be voted in by the NHS. The Honor Society has several bake sales in order to raise money for the club.

Although there are many important clubs in CCHS, one of the most important clubs is the Student Council. It is important to the student body because its members work together in making important decisions and sponsoring recreation such as dances for the student body at CCHS.

FEA OEA FHA T The Future Educators

of America are sponsored by Mrs. Coby who is also the coordinator for Area 3. Some highlights of the year included activities such as a visit to a school with a different curriculum or way of operation. Other events were Ride-A-Bike for the Retarded, Career Night, State conventions, and a Regional Conference. These are only a few projects the FEA takes part in. The club holds high honors with Lynn Nehls being a state officer for Area 3.

Thespian Society/Health Careers

The Office Education Association is a national organization sponsored by Miss Nichols. The officers are: President—Frank Ludwig, Vice President— Vicki Shidaker, Secretary—Susan Baker, Treasurer—Wendy Burkett, Historian/ Reporter—Ces Walter. Members are offered the opportunity to compete in a contest of office skills. The group also participated in many of the functions of the school.

Is the world really a stage? All the Thespians seem to think so. This club is unique. You join and you become a J r . Thespian. After long hours of dedication, you finally become a Thespian. Now you are not only a member of a school organization, but also a member of an international society. In spring 1976, Robert Scott and Chris Vernum were chosen best actor and actress respectively for their exceptional performances in "Godspell". This particular production stirred the hearts of many, especially those who took part in it. Productions for the 76-77 year included v xThe Night of January 16th" and a spring musical "Hello Dolly". The Thespians are under the new direction of Mrs. Bennett.

Future Homemakers of America is a national vocational organization which helps youth assume responsibilities to prepare for their role in society. Chapter projects help develop leadership and initiative and the ability to carry out decisions.

Health Careers is obviously concerned with opportunities in the health professions. The school nurse, Mrs. Coffey sponsors the group. The club offers students who are interested in a medical future a chance to explore all the possibilities. Regina Pratt functions as the club's president.

"Well is everybody here?" That question is answered frequently by the CCHS Pep Block and always with a resounding x xyea man!" This is just a mere portion of the dedication they put into cheering for the many sports at Culver, even though their voices are abolished by the end of the year. The Pep Block is a great support for the cheerleaders and all the teams as well.

The Lettermen are a group that have worked very hard to earn the letter on their sweaters. To earn the letter you must have participated in at least one Varsity sport. To receive a jacket you must have earned at least five letters in a Varsity sport.

This club is responsible for a lot of the entertainment at Culver. Such as their annual chili supper and Meet The Team Night. They sponsor various other activities during the year to keep the students busy.

Ah Rembrandt Picasso! We have our own here at Culver. The Art Club at CCHS is really great. They are very hard workers when it comes to school activities. They were in the Homecoming Parade, and painted the windows for the first home basketball game.

Have you ever heard the expression a song makes the world go 'round? Well in Culver's case it makes the students go 'round. This is the CCHS choir under the direction of Mrs. Taylor. The Choir brightens up the students near Christmas time each year with their lovely songs. They are not really considered a club because they have a class that meets every day.

These people also know what music is all about. The Choraliers perform for many other things. They may go to meetings or to the senior citizens home. They bring cheer where ever they may go. These people also have class every day.

Culver Community High School's Sci-Club is an active club. They participate in the Homecoming Parade, the painting of the windows for the first home basketball game, and sponsor various other activities.

This is the French Club. This club received runner-up in the window painting contest this year. They also came in second last year for the mini 500. They participated in the Homecoming Parade using themes from the fifty's.

Sunshine is a very active group that spreads happiness through the community. They visit nursing homes and hospitals. One hospital they make a point of going to is the Riley Hospital. They also participate in all school sponsored activities.

The Future Farmers are just what there name indicates. They are a club but they do much more out side of school. They plant and raise animals, which they show at the state fair. They also sponsor a sweetheart dance every year where they choose a sweetheart. Last year's sweetheart was Regina Pratt.

Spanish Club is a good club to join if you are interested in speaking a foreign language. At the Spanish Club meeting you must speak in Spanish. The Spanish Club presents a Spanish night every year where they serve tacos and help teach the Spanish culture to the first year students.

The Industrial Arts Club is a very interesting club to join if you are into Architecture of mechanics. They participate in other activities too. Their sponsor is Mr. Mishler. Mr. Mishler also teaches graphics. The graphic department prints the school paper. Graphics is another field of Industrial Arts.

Covering an entire year in a few number of pages is almost an impossible task. We have tried to bring some of the highlights of the year to you. You have seen the faculty, the students, and all the others who make

up our school family. Every one with character and a sense of belonging. Everyone an individual. Even though the heat was turned down, the school abounded with warmness. You have met us You be the judge.
