Dean Roades and Laurie Chruby relax in the majestic auditorium. Sight of all dramatic performances, assemblies, and concerts, the MHS audi- torium seats 1098 students. A beam of light from the early afternoon sun dances through the silent corridors of Munster High. Soon the halls will be a jumble of noisy students, caught up in the fast paced tempo of high school life. STUDENT LIFE 7

Activities editors Peg Krol and Barb Kostka work busily to meet a yearbook deadline. The Commons Area is a daily meeting place for all MHS students, a place to congregate, relax, laugh, talk, and unwind from the academic routine. Carrels for individual study and shelves upon shelves of reference books in every subject identify the resource center at MHS. The emphasis is on individual study and a student can use the center to the fullest advantage in addition to decreasing his amount of homework. Exceptional Facilities Meet Educational Needs Long after the final bell releases students from another day, the yawn- ing corridors stand empty and silent. The school building is quiet and peaceful. Shelves in the resource center are neatly arranged, and carrels stand braced for the next onslaught of stu- dents. The lecture halls are great empty caverns and the Commons Area, normally the focal point of a student’s day, is now bereft of any signs of life. Row upon row of seats in the auditorium wait to be filled with eagerly chattering students. The majestic velvet curtains are closed, shutting out the secrets of the stage. The maze of corridors are void of sound. Buff colored lockers, which are home to a student during the day, now have no identity as they keep a lonely vigil, standing side by side. Empty and silent, but only tempo- rarily. Soon the corridors will come alive once again as still another day begins WITHIN OUR DOMAIN.
