THE MIRROR E ac nExarcraK From 1918-1923 a high school was conducted at both Merrillville and Ainsworth. Miss Elmore taught at Merrillville until 1922 when Richard Nu- zum took her place. Miss Wood taught at Ainsworth the four years and when the two schools were consolidated at Merrillville by Mr. Roy Hack in 1924 she was retained as assistant of O. K. Appletnan who was secured as principal. In 1924-25 a complete commercial course taught by Miss Verda Zusch- nitt was put in. Mr. Appleman and Miss Wood held their previous positions. This year marked the largest increase in attandance since the establishment of the school and during the summer the class rooms were re-arranged to pro- vide more space.
