FOREWORD We shall pass this way but once Yes, this is our last record that we leave for you, our teachers, parents, and many friends. You have traveled along the roadway with us. We of the staff have but one wish, that our annual will bring a smile of satisfaction from our fellow seniors and a bit of enjoyment to the people who have made it possible for us to produce our book of memories. . Our thanks is not enough, but perhaps our future accomplishments in making the world of tomorrow a peaceful place in which to live, will be some recompense for the untiring effort put forth by those who have aided us, the class of ’44. Our book is far from complete. Many of our former instructors are scattered over the length and breadth of the land; many of our classmates are fighting on the battlefields of the world. As you glance through our book, won’t you please think of these people, too? We shall pass this way but once May the rest of the classes at Merrillville High School always enjoy the roadway that we have been so fortunate to have traveled, the roadway of Ameri- can Life. We know that you will enjoy this road, too, if we all join together in keeping it clear, straight, and clean; whether we live, fight, or die for tomorrow’s world. We shall not pass this way again Two

Wt $omt Witty 3rtbe to MERRILLVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Despite the shortages, priorities, and rationing systems which are part of war’s necessary evils, this year more than ever before, our efforts to improve the interior of our school have met with almost unbelievable success. Every month new books have been pouring into our library. Hundreds of dollars have been spent to make our Home Economics Department one of the finest in the region. New science courses with modern laboratory equipment of all sorts have increased the enrollment in this department to the very maximum. Lathes, tools, mechanical and electrical equipment of all sorts have been placed in the new Industrial Arts Rooms. We appreciate the cooperation that made it possible to add these educational facilities to Ross Township. In the not too distant future, we hope to landscape the campus of our school in the manner sketched in the above picture by our artist. Today’s reality is yester- day’s dream. We know that the graduates of tomorrow will stand and say, too WE POINT WITH PRIDE Three
