It keeps you going You can always tell when a point of pride is coming. Seahorses and silohuettes dangle from the cafeteria ceiling announcing Swimming Sectionals or the AFS International Night. But you don ' t only have to take pride in the big things. You can take pride in the little things too— getting your house T.P.ed for a big game, receiving a passing grade in Trig, making it to the final round in a speech meet, or playing 3 minutes and 23 seconds in a basketball game after your usual bench warming. Within the surrounding communities we have proven that we are good academically and athletically. We take pride in our success. But pride is not only for winning, it is for losing too. It is a quiet kind of pride that makes you want to keep going; that says, “There ' s always next time. The achievements of Munster High ' s students, organizations, and teams have attracted attention not only locally but on state and national levels. Pride was here in the beginning and will never die.

4 Student Life Come join us Greetings! You are cordially invited starting September 5th at 8 a.m. to join 1700 students on a 180 day excursion. It ' s a must! Kids generally catagorize school as a boring place. Sure, you ' ve got to earn 38 credits to graduate but we won ' t let it get you down. You will be surprised at the different breed of students that roam the halls and corridors of the brick palace on Columbia Ave. Here the individual is given the chance to expand his interests while choosing from a variety of organizations. These events are what makes the school tick. Where as one boy gets involved with AFS, so he can be with his friends in an organized manner, a girl can join the nationally known Speech Team so she can develop an interest that will lead to a possible law career. But it ' s not just the organizations that make Munster stand apart from the other schools. Known mainly for it ' s college prep program over 144 courses are offered which give every student a chance to find something that they can relate to. To help break the monotony of lectures and tests there are Friday night basketball games and dances, booths at the spring carnival, and spirit week during Homecoming. Each of these is what makes student life unique. Even though they may put on a front and pretend that they don ' t want to be here, underneath it all they really seem to enjoy it. A certain feeling or spirit is spread through the atmosphere. Could it be they pump pride through the air system? Determined to win the annual Powder Puff game, a tribe of juniors boost their morale by doing a spir it dance. Enjoying the music of Santa Fe, freshman Jayne Rovai and senior Susie Lanman bump in time. Although terribly frustrated with his typing skills, sophomore Kurt Halem strikes away with plans of improvement. Preparing for the annual carnation sale, seniors Lisa Moss and Cindy Bell decorate their advertisement campaign. Before the real activities begin, freshmen servers examine a painted plaster statue.
