New homes are being built to accomodate the families that are moving in. Methodist QHtuech is Brif cr Merrillville a new fire The growth of the changes in our school. community has made varied As housing developments and growing industries bring new families into the district, our school must grow to meet their demands; and it has. It has grown in curriculum, equipment, teaching staff, classroom area, and the building itself. A new class schedule, consisting of six 70 minute class periods each day, was introduced this year. The last 25 minutes are allotted for study. Increased enrollment has brought many new teachers to our school. We also have five new subjects. German, auto mechanics, general clerical practice, geography, and electricity. With these additions, the school has met the growing needs of our community and the growing demands of high educational standards. The colonial style architecture is plainly visible in the first Ross Township High School. School growth has always been quite evident at Merrillville, and this year was no exception. With the start of this new year, the boys made use of the new shop addition, constructed last year and occu- pied for the first time this fall, in which electricity, metals, and auto mechanics were taught. ,The boys were able to customize their cars at no cost to them other than materials. German and Latin III were offered as new subjects. With these new subjects available, ' students wishing to attend college will find entrance much easier. Also this year, two new clubs were introduced to the school. These two clubs, the German and Spanish Clubs, are both starting out their first year with large memberships. So, as another year draws to a close, we again look back to see how our school has grown since the year it was established in 1896. Fo the Dennis Yuraitis and Bill Smith work on (r ov SLA_ Students Prepare Early Bob Podunovich, Mike Sullivan, and Marci Fabrici are running a test on the purity of water. World geography and world history are prepara- tory ' courses for U. S. history, civics, and econom- ics. Biology is the science dealing with the origin and life history of plants and animals. Chemistry is the study of the composition of substances and the laws that govern them; physics, is the scien- tific study of matter and energy. Algebra I is simply learning the basic funda- mentals of the course. Advance algebra is a continuation of Algebra I. College algebra is another continuation, and as its name implies, prepares a student for college math. Plane geometry is a simple study of lines, angles, and surfaces in just one dimension. Solid geometry is more complicated. It deals with the study of lines, angles, and su mensional basis. T rigonome lationships of jzfcs o r y r Ken Patton is working out a problem with a slide rule for trigonometry class. For College Margaret Carlson is examining her bug collection.

Sheet metal, electric and auto mechanics are the shop courses offered for the first time at Merrillville this year. Besides new courses, an addition to the school has been made to accommodate them. The purpose of agriculture has always been to train boys and adults in the various phases of farming as a vocation or as a part-time job. The business courses at Merrillville are aimed at train- ing the students to do their work accurately and effi- ciently. The only new course offered deals with clerical office pratice. Home economics has expanded considerably during the past few years. From the beginning when only a few courses were offered, home economics now encompasses such fields as sewing, cooking, home nursing, family liv- ing, child care, home management, interior decorating, and consumer buying. Senior band members display trophies. Fine Arts Are Important Karen Canino sculpts a cowboy in art. Choir boosters of Merrillville have reason to be proud. Their M.H.S. concert choir has given the entire area musical thrills and entertainment galore this year. Hard work on the part of the conductor, Mr. Jerauld Reinhart, and of the various choir groups have thrilled audiences at their marvelous achievements in music. The Twelveteens produced beautiful choral arrange- ments for the third year. Making up this group are six boys and six girls who entertain social groups, women’s clubs, and banquets. Creativeness marks the goal of those students partici- pating in the art field. Many different phases of art have been dealt with in the past year, some of these being sculpturing, the pot- ter’s wheel, mobile design, abstract art, and oil painting. It has been a very successful year for the Art Depart- ment. 12 Bill Sherwood polishes bass horn. For a Well-balanced Life Merrillville’s band department has added many lau- rels to Merrillville High School during the past few years. Using a program that prepares the student during the grade school years, the band has been tops in its class in the state contests. Many individuals have brought home trophies from ensemble competition. Mr. Frank Meltzer, now in his eighth year as band director, directs the Christmas and spring concerts which have brought people from all over the Calumet area to the school. Band offers the student a different type of expression that is not prevalent in other areas of the educational field. It has been the aim of the band and music de- partment to make its facilities available to as many students as possible. The program reaches hund reds of students on both the elementary and secondary school levels. Janet Pruiett accompanies the choir. Sylvia Monzulla loosens the hub cap as she changes the tire in Driver’s Training. Preparedness Is Essential Girls’ gym class shows human pyramid. Students completing Driver Education find that they know more than the average person applying for a li- cense. They receive wheel instruction, study safety fac- tors, plus learning such practical points as how to change a tire. Each student’s skill and muscle control is improved in a course of physical education. Sports, games, and exer- cises all help to complete the student’s growth towards becoming a well-rounded individual. Health and Safety provides students with a sound background in the knowledge of body functions and safety habits. Mental and physical growth is studied with self-tests given to check each student’s growth and under- standing. Also discussed are the safety rules and diseases with their preventives. One year of Health and Safety and one of gym are required for graduation. 14 Rosie Arena catches up on the latest Spanish news. Language Departments Are Busy Developing their reading ability are Bill Idzier and Jerry Cool. Here we find Kerry O’Conner and Tom Morfee looking over scrolls in Latin class. George Senko recites, “Friends, Romans, Countrymen. With New Courses The English and foreign language departments added much to the academic schedule at Merrillville this year. German was added to the list of foreign languages, under the direction of Miss Yunkeris. Other foreign languages taught are Spanish and Latin. There seemed to be an added interest in English this year as Mrs. Lynch found her College Prep classes more crowded than ever before. The seniors had to write many essays and short stories, and they bene- fited greatly from this class. The German students showed an active interest also, as they studied the habits and customs of the German people, as well as the language. The three classes also had pen-pals to which they wrote through- out the year. The Spanish and Latin classes were under the di- rection of Mrs. Maietta and Mrs. Collins. A Spanish Club was formed this year and along with the Latin Club was very active and creative for their members. Jerry Ripley and Wolfgang Bley serenade their German class with the Schnitzelbank Song. Mary Ann and Bob Reign Mary Ann Uremovich was chosen the fifth annual queen of our Homecoming, sponsored by the student council. Her attendants as pictured above were Nancy Gullic, Judy Stringham, and Judy Scott. Twelve girls were nominated, two from each of the six homerooms. From these, the football team narrowed the candidates down to four. The entire student body then voted on the girl they wanted for queen. Pictured above are the Mr. Football Candidates: Walter Craig, Mike Sullivan, Paul Suroweic, and Bob Steiner. This year the football team selected Bob Steiner as recipient of the Mr. Football award for the season ’59-’60. Crowning Mary is Coach De- maree.

Christmas Spirit Reigns at Sno-Ball Approximately 150 couples attended the Senior Hi-Y’s winter semi-formal, the Sno Ball. Cookies and punch were served for refreshments. Music was fur- nished by Teddy Michaels. The dance, under the direction of Lloyd Ahlbrand, Senior Hi-Y sponsor, was a big success. Over 70 gifts were brought by high school students and were given to needy families of this area for Christmas. Christmas Pageant Presented “Seasons Greetings,” the annual Christmas Pag- eant, was held on December 9. Featured were the High School Band, Senior Concert Choir, Gleemen, Choroletts, Senior Bells, Junior High Boys’ Glee Club, and the Junior High Girls’ Glee Club. All were under the direction of Mr. Jerauld Reinhart and Mr. Frank Meltzer. The pageant included the Story of Christmas, which was shown with slides and live tableaux. Tra- ditions through the centuries were portrayed by a snow man and dancers, Santa and his sleigh, Ru- dolph, and the Twelve Days of Christmas. The finale consisted of a glowing cross and the Hallelu- jah Chorus. After this the audience joined the band and choirs in singing Christmas Carols. Senior Candidate Nancy O’Brien. Junior Candidate Donna Becker. Donna Chosen Queen Queen Donna Becker reigned over the festivities at the annual Athletic Ball on Saturday, March 12 . Candidates for queen were chosen by the athletes of their respective class. Each candidate made up a window display for the students to view before the all- school election was held.

Instead of one defendant, all of the witnesses and townspeople became accused of Billy Mc- Ginnis’ death in “The Remarkable Incident of Carsons’ Corners.” The Senior class presented this 3-act drama on April 7,8, and 9, under the direc- tion of Mr. Jack Johns. Accusations flew and tempers raged, as the townspeople of Carsons’ Comers held the murder trial of Kovalesky, as Chester Dobis. A sense of guilt filled the hearts of the people as the testimonies were made. Each found himself to be responsible in some way of the death of Billy, played by Clay MacPherson. Dick Angerman’s portrayal of Mr. McGinnis’ dramatic self-accusation climaxed the play. Pat Modrak served backstage as Student Direc- tor; Pat Mikula, as Business Manager; and Ron Vendl, as Stage Manager.

What will people say when they find out?” 1 ■ ’ i aw % flw X Ip: • BWI . Act Up Beginning a successful year of dramatic produc- tions was the Junior class play, “Dear Ruth.” The play, a comedy in two acts, was written by Norman Kras and directed by Mrs. Agnes Lynch. “Dear Ruth” revolved around a patriotic teen- ager who wrote letters to soldiers overseas and signed her sister’s name. The fun began when, after sixty letters, a certain soldier unexpectedly came home on furlough. For Ruth it was quite a surprise to meet the boy whom she was practically engaged to while making plans to be married to another. Miriam had not expected this situation to arise since she wrote in one of her many letters that he would crash on his one-hundredth mission on take-off and be killed. This she thought would solve the problem, but to her surprise it only caused more confusion. The play was presented in the Merrillville Audi- torium on November 12, 13, and 14. Faculty director for the Junior production, “Dear Ruth,” was Mrs. Agnes Lynch. “Come here young lady! I told you that there would be no more Bundles for Britain.” “Buuuuuuuuuuuut, Dad?” Alright, don t throw the lamp. I’m leaving, but she shouldn’t have put the dummy on the tracks.” Frosh-Soph Classes Present Class of ’62 and ’63 presented its play, February 11 and 13. The play, “Meet Me In St. Louis,” is a three act comedy by Christopher Sergei. The play was directed by Mrs. Agnes Lynch. The plot of the play revolves around Mr. Smith, who was to have been transferred from St. Louis to New York. His family, unwilling to leave St. Louis, tries to stop him from accepting the transfer. His daughters devised many schemes to prevent him from leaving. Set against the background of the 1904 St. Louis World Fair, the three act comedy is replete with high button shoes, high starched collars, and all the charm of the days of gas lights and low taxes. “Maybe you think your children are well behaved, but I — Ouch!” Behind the scenes: Mrs. Lynch, director; Sherri De Pew, Student Director; and Ken Ander- son, Student Manager watch intentively as George Senko, business manager made up as Mr. Duffy, checks the advance ticket sale.

Candidate Francis Ott Juniors and Seniors Dance A Parisian atmosphere captured the enthusiasm of all who attended the Junior-Senior Prom on May 2, 1959. At 11:00 p.m. Judy Clarke and Dennis O’Conner, last year’s king and queen, crowned Nancy Gullic and Mike Sullivan, King and Queen of 1959. Mickey Isley’s orches- tra helped to create the mood as it played “Under Paris Skies.” The Grand March, led by the king and queen, showed the beautiful array of pastel-colored formals that blended in well with the Parisian theme. Candidate Tim Feczko Candidate Walter Craig Candidate Bob Stiener Attendant Yvonne Peterson Attendant Carol Beckwith Attendant Judy Stringham Under Paris Skies Paris travel posters, multi-colored sprays emerging from the huge fountain on the stage, and a sidewalk cafe trans- posed the Merrillville High School gym into an enchanted ballroom.

Kerry Halsted and Gary Gullic read German literature available to all German students. This year marked the first time in Merrville’s history that the German language was taught, and with the language came the forming of a German Club. The purpose of the German Club is to help the students to become acquainted with the German people and their ways. The club, under the sponsorship of Miss Yudita Yunkeris, was open to all students enrolled in a German class. Attendance of the opera “Flying Dutchman,” was the main activity of the year. ■ 1 Hacker Heads Hi-Y ROW 1: B. Miller, W. Markle, D. Anderson, R. Loggie, R. Cool, J. Brugos, D. Binley, R. Horst, F.

Competes Merrillville’s F.F.A. chapter tries to build its work and growth around its primary aims: development of agri- culture and leadership, co-operation, and citizenship. Much of the activity in the chapter deals with parti- cipation in contests, which stress the club’s aims, with other schools. Several all-day field trips were taken by the club. Among the contests entered by the F.F.A. were judg- ing and public speaking. ABOVE: New members are being ini- tiated into the club by Larry Eber- hardt.

New Sponsor Heads Senior Hi-Y This year the Senior Hi-Y, under the sponsorship of Mr. Lloyd Ahlbrand, was quite active in many service projects. One of these was the collecting of old clothes for needy families. Senior Hi-Y also sponsored the Sno-Ball Dance at which toys were donated by those who attended. These were then distributed by the club to various needy families in the area. There has been a great effect on the community, as well as the students, resulting from the services of this club.

Society Aids Students Since the first Honor Society was first introduced into our school two years ago, they have accomplished a great deal. Along with aiding the students, they have set standards which many have tried to achieve in order to get into the club. This year the club had a tutoring service for any student wishing help in a certain subject. There was no charge for this service and many benefited from it. On December 11, 1959, the Honor Society held their annual dance which proceeds were used to help any student pay for scholar- ship tests. ROW 1: P. Malis, D. Eich, M. Fabrici, L. Radivan, E.

Packed with Power and Ready Merrillville’s baseball team looks for their power to pull them through this season with a good record. Last year’s team posted an eight won and nine lost record, including wins over a powerful Hammond Noll team, and last year’s conference champs, Dyer. The team offers five good power hitters, all with respectable batting averages — Craig .364, Morfee .294, Gifford .273, Pierce .268, and Sullivan .250. Each of these sluggers hit at least one home run and batted in at least five runs. Of the eight hitters who scored in the home run column last year, seven are back again. There are four veteran pitchers: Clay Mac- pherson, Roger Gifford, Jack Pierce, and Tim Snyder. They are minus the services of letter- men Ernie Gillam and Stu Jewell due to grad- uation. With a large force of returning lettermen, the Pirates hope to walk off with the Calumet Conference crown. The lettermen include in- fielders Mickey Brugos, Nick Bobeck, Tom Morfee, Roger Gifford, and Mike Sullivan; outfielders Jack Pierce, Bob Goss, Tim Snyder, Dick Fedorchak, and Jim Roushelang; catcher Bobo Craig, and pitcher Clay Macpherson.

With ten returning letter- men to start Merrillville’s second year at this sport, the Pirate grapplers conquered most of their opponents without much opposition. In our first year 1958-59 the Pirates finished third in the Calument Conference, close behind Gary Edison and Lowell. Graduation will take two top wrestlers, Rus- sel Nevulis, team co-captain, and Walter Craig. Nevulis, a top scorer, is a two year letterman and Craig lettered in his only year out. Merrillville’s grapplers have always enjoyed favorable result in dual meets and this year was no exception. Even though the season was not completed at this writing, they had lost only three meets while winning six. Other top wrestlers include co-captain John Wilson; Tom Bothwell and John Keveany, both undefeated; Jeff Brugos, sophomore 127 piounder; and Larry Lonsbury, 138 pound ju- nior. Davis’ squad wrestled Culver, Bishop Noll, Hammond Morton, and Valparaiso in dual meets. The Calumet Conference meet was held at Gary Edison’s gym. State Sectionals were held February 6. Three “B” squad meets were also scheduled. “B” TEAM ROW 1: Coster, Stanley, Wojahn, Dugle. ROW 2: Biernat, Coster, Foley.

This year the club improved its activity period considerably. Included among other activities was a Manners Day, which was inaugurated to set a better example for the underclassmen. Their candy drive helped to finance their dance of the year, the Athletic Ball. Purposes of this club are to promote good sportsmanship, clean living, and participation in athletics.

MILLER Supervising Principal Supervisors ' Jobs Vary The most important positions in the operation of schools are held by the administration. These men work together with the county officials, teachers, and other employees of the township to insure a high educational standard for our schools. There are dif- ferent types of administrators. Some work directly with the local schools, while others work with the county and state. Closely associated with the county office is Mr. Cecil Tonagel, who is directly responsible for the operation of the Ross Township schools. He is an elected official and is serving his first yeaj- in office. Mr. Tonagel is in constant contact with the school administrators, to make sure that the schools are be- ing efficiently and effectively administered. With three years of Mr. Tonagel’s term remaining, the school and township can look forward to effective leadership. Working closely with the township trustee, is Mr. Edgar L. Miller, Supervising Principal of the Ross Township Schools. His position is a very important one because he is in direct contact with the principals of the various schools in the township. He assists Mr. lonagel in making budgets, directing school bus routes, hiring teachers, operating school cafeteria, and many other phases of school administration. This year has been a very busy one for these two men. The improvement of the school, school con- struction, and supervision of the curriculum were also among their very important tasks. Through the com- bined efforts of Mr. Tonagel and Mr. Miller, this school year has proved to be a successful one for all concerned. These men have been responsible for maintaining the high educational standards for which Ross Town- ship is noted. 76 HENRY WICHMANOWSKI Principal Busy Year for The school year of 1959-60 has proved to be one of the busiest that the administration has ever had. A new seventy-minute period system was intro- duced this year. With the new schedule there were many unforeseen problems which had to be worked out by the administration. Intra-mural activities for boys was another pro- gram which the administration planned. JAMES BOVARD Assistant Principal Administration One of the many duties that the adipihi tratii has each year is to give scholastic tests for college ap- plicant students. In working out these problems and planning new programs, the administration has shown their capa- bility in building and maintaining the high level of education at Merrillville.

We were the largest class to enter Merrillville at that time. Adjusting to high school life proved to be the biggest challenge for us. “Junior Miss” was the Frosh-Soph play and we were pleased when a Frosh got one of the lead roles. We were equally pleased when our boys won the Freshman Track Meet. Sophomore year came and went. We laughed at “Time Out for Ginger,” proudly displayed our royal blue class sweaters, and cheered our Reserve Track Team on to victory. Upperclassmen already! We have so much to do. The prom, our rings, and our play are the most important. We received our rings a few days before Christmas. Our class officers picked White Rainbow Sapphires as the stone. “Arsenic and Old Lace” was our play. The money we made from it, we willingly spent on our prom. We danced “Under Paris Skies” of blue crepe paper to the music of Mickey Isley. Refreshments were served in a sidewalk cafe. The magical point of the evening came as Mike Sullivan and Nancy Gullic were crowned Prom King and Queen. At midnight we left “Paris” and went to Teibel’s, where we ate and were entertained by Jim Louns- bury. Four o’clock came too soon and we had to leave this wonderful night. At the end of the year, we bid adieu to our Senior friends and anxiously looked forward to our last year. At last we are Seniors. We started the year off right, when our boys won the Calumet Conference Football Championship by defeating Lowell 18 to 6. “The Remarkable Incident at Carson’s Corners” was our last play and as always, it was a success. As the days fly past, we are busy with Senior pic- tures, plans for the future, announcements, and plans for graduation. “Pomp and Circumstance” brought tears of sadness to many of us as we marched down the aisle on graduation night. In our royal blue robes, we listened to the words of wisdom passed on to us by John R. Emens, President of Ball State Teachers College. And now we must say good bye to these won- derful fun-filled years. Good bye to Merrillville High School. Good bye to the faculty, who has guided us through these past four years. And good bye to our friends, until we meet again. 85 Through the EMORY ALEXANDER FFA 2,3,4, Reporter 3. NANCY ALMASHY Horace Mann 1,2; FHA 2,3,4; Pep 4; Sunshine 3,4.
