Composite of People and Events Is Life at MHS Many talents combine to form ORGANIZA- TIONS ... page 82 School life in our domain begins with JUN IOR HIGH . . . page 134 It stands in silent watchfulness, silhouetted against the delicate tints of early morning. Another day is beginning, and from its vantage point, the Munster High School building complex, characterized by its prom- inent dome, will once again witness the art of living. Students arrive on foot or spill from cars and buses. Buzzing conversation is punctuated by a symphony of slamming lockers. The tide of students pour down the halls and into the classrooms as the domed structure becomes a whirl of activity which spins on through the entire day. This is Munster High School where days and hours are spent in learning, preparing for tomorrow’s challenges. Each day holds laughter, tears, joys, moments of happiness, and times of despair ... all a part of the inevitable growing process occuring daily WITHIN OUR DOMAIN. The most essential part of our domain is PERSONALITIES . . . page 108 Rejoicing in moments of glory, bravely savoring the bitter taste of defeat, building spirit, and the thrill of competing are all a part of ATHLETICS . . . page 60.

Wide Curriculum Expands Scopes Knowledge . . . the key to doors encountered in the future, a key mold- ed and shaped in many ways. Listening in lecture, as a multitude of students observe thoughts, con- cepts, and suggestions presented by an instructor, each one interpreting it in his own way and applying those thoughts to his daily life and quest for knowledge. An individual student formulates his own ideas and con- victions, possibly agreeing with what is presented to him and correlating it with his own views. Or perhaps he rejects the concepts, thinking they have no valid part in the way he feels. Being part of a lively discussion group gives opportunities to reject theories, defend a stand, stimulate an argument over a point, present evidence in support of a belief or question the hypothesis of another. Sitting at a carrel in the Resource Center, absorbed in an English novel, writing feverishly to finish an extended reading, or puzzling over a difficult math problem occupy the hours of study lime. Numerous challenges are offered and met at Munster High School as students strive to prepare their future as responsible citizens, working to strengthen the future of a nation. The destiny of tomorrow is being shaped today by students WITHIN OUR DOMAIN. Jane Woodward vivaciously defends a stand in English seminar as the group discusses litera- ture. Ready to add her views is Kathy Vieweg. Munster High School’s class of 1968 hears a government lecture pre- sented by student teacher Miss Fran Hagberg. Lectures are an integral part of life at MHS, with the facilities being used extensively by the English, social studies, and science departments to expand the concept of large group learning. Up she goes! Ross Maroe gives Pam Eisner a big boost as she searches inside her locker for a needed book. STUDENT LIFE 5
