I In touch with the world Life was not limited to the walls of the school or to the boundaries of the town limits. It surpassed these limits and expanded. In the field of politics, the country slowly left behind the Watergate scandal and turned their eyes on a new President, Ger- ald Ford, and Vice President, Nelson Rock- efeller. Coming into power at that time, the two were faced with the problems of an oil embargo, inflation, and then recession. Al- though the actual size of the dollar did not shrink, it ' s value seemed to. Some people decided to invest their money in gold, but soon learned that “all that glitteig is not gold as fraudulent gold bars and coins were being sold. At one point in time in the year, it seemed like sugar would be the best investment when prices soared to over two dollars for five pounds. Financial and food costs were not the only things to make a person cry. The strains of Jack Benny ' s violin were silenced as the talented and much-loved comedian passed away in December. Not everyone ' s time was spent in mourn- ing and singing the “inflation blues. A quick trip to Chicago helped students es- cape everyday hassles. The most popular events for most Munster kids were the rock concerts. Of all the groups that played in concert, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, and Jethro Tull drew the largest audience response. After witnessing what happened outside the boundaries of the town, you sometimes wished it had not involved you. That was not possible; somehow we were involved. Nevertheless, we found ways to enjoy our- selves and expand further out. 6

flflouing out into the town After telling an outsider that you are a resident of Munster, you ' ll probably get a reaction like, Munster, who or what is that? Where is it? For those living in the town, it does not seem such a strange name or place, but how do you explain that to someone who does not live here? First of all, despite popular belief, Mun- ster families do not resemble the ghoulish characters of television fame. They are all relatively normal and do not have green faces or bolts coming out of their necks. When the word Munster is mentioned, the connotation of a rich suburb, where all the residents live in $100,000 homes, comes to the minds of many people. This reaction is of people who do not actually live here, but have had contact with someone who has spoken of our town. To the kids, the town has a different con- notation. A common complaint is that the town is too small, thusly, it ' s boring and there ' s nothing to do. Thinking about it, there are relatively few facilities for youths. Most activities such as movies or personal sports are provided for outside the town. For those who choose to remain in town for fun, there is Riverside Park for late night dates and Mac ' s, the local food hangout. For the more daring, there is always the bridge between Munster and Hammond. When painted red and white. It is a true symbol of Mustang Territory. This probably does not give any clearer of a description of the town to anyone who lives here. For them, Munster is just a typi- cal, swiftly growing community. Internally, it has expanded to include a new hospital, medical center, and numerous homes. It is not saying the town does not have it ' s faults, but it should not just be viewed negatively. To get the proper view, it should be observed by living in the town and observing it in action. It is not the buildings, money and the status that comes with it, that should determine the quality and name of a town rather the people, the 18,883 members of the community who make up the Town of Integrity. 5 «
