To Become Better Teenagers receive much inspiration from our churches. We have not only become proficient in our studies but also students realize their duty to the community and to our nation. Traveling through Merrillville, one notices many students serving the community in various ways. Some work as cashiers and business assistants while others work for the area newspaper and in the li- brary. Our students know the value of religion. Most of the churches in the area are populated by teenagers. M.H.S. students are eager to assume the responsi- bilities of living in a free nation. We are proud to participate in the American ideals of freedom, jus- tice, competition and equality. As we look back on the year 1960-61, we shall see how going through M.H.S. doors we the stu- dents are prepared to go out into the world as better citizens.

Students Play Santa Snowflake Fantasy was the title given to this yearâs Christmas Dance. Couples who attended this yearâs Christmas Dance found the gym transformed into a âSnowflake Fantasy.â They enjoyed dancing to the music and singing of the Eagle Brothers. The gym was beautifully decorated with Christmas trees, snowflakes, Santa Clauses, mistletoe, and a large sleigh which was used as the center of decoration. As part of the admission for the dance, each couple brought a gift for a needy child in the community. These gifts were then distributed among the needy by the Senior Hi-Y, which sponsors the annual win- ter semi-formal.

The birth of Jesus was portrayed through pantomime and an abstract manger scene. âChestnuts Roasting On An Open Fireâ and âChristmas Songâ were sung by the Twelveteens while Santa himself appeared in the audience and greeted all the children. Shari DePew and Karen Parlock presented an ori- ginal ballet to âThe Twelve Days of Christinas.â An outstanding number presented by the band was the âDrummer Boy Song.â The choirs presented the grand finale by forming a huge Christmas tree com- plete with lights furnished by individual flashlights. Christmas carols were then sung by the choirs and band with the audience joining in. The pageant was produced and directed by Mr. Jerauld Reinhart and Mr. Frank Meltzer. 12 Senior Candidate Pam Gibson Junior Candidate Karen OâBrien t Pam Reigns Queen of Athletics On March 11, the annual Athletic Ball, sponsored by the Let- termanâs Club, was held. Queen candidates were nominated for the ball by the athletes of each respective class. Each of the can- didates had a window display to promote their campaign. At the end of the campaign, the student body voted for the candidate of their choice. Couples danced to the rhythmic music of Tobin Matthews and the Jeepers. The high- light of the evening arrived with the crown- ing of Pam Gibson as Athletic Ball Queen. The Lettermanâs Club furnished the tiara and flowers for Queen Pam.

Seven Sistersâ Colorful, romantic, humorous, and tender was the Freshman-Sophomore production of âSeven Sisters,â a three act comedy by Edith Ellis. The play was presented on April 22 and 23. The story is about a widow and her troubles in finding matrimonial âcatchesâ for Katenka, Sari and Ella, the older of her seven daughters. She is bound by custom to marry off her daughters in the order of their ages. Mitzi, the fourth daughter, 19, is bewitching little minx. Expelled from school for running away to a masque ball, she is sent home in disgrace. In order to advance her sisterâs matri- monial chances, she is reduced by her mother to the age of 15. Horkoy, the young lieutenant she met at the ball crosses her path. She reveals her plight and he wages that within a year he will see that her older sisters are married off, and Mitzi freed from the ânursery.â When that happens he shall be rewarded by three kisses. They make the bargain and the plot thickens. A husband for each of the girls is singled out, but in promoting her sisterâs happiness Mitziâs own romance is se- riously threatened. Matters adjust themselves, and at last Horkoy claims his reward. Why, Colonel Radviany, what were you doing in the pantry?

The setting is an institution, called the Cloisters, and the plot evolves around the e (Torts of an un- scrupulous family to deprive an old, eccentric heir- ess, Mrs. Savage, of her fortune. Their attempts are foiled by Mrs. Savage and her friends, who are men- tally disturbed. The play provides many hilarious, as well as poignant scenes. This mixture of fun and serious- ness kept the audience enchanted. Outstanding in their portrayals of Mrs. Savage and the silent Mrs. Paddy, were Sheri DePew and Karen Canino. They received excellent support from the other members of the cast. Directing the play was Mrs. Agnes Lynch. âOh, dear me!

Ten Little Indiansâ The âTen Little Indiansâ refers to the cluster of statuettes on the mantelpiece of a weird country house on an island off the coast of Devon, and to the nursery rhyme embossed above them, telling how each little Indian met his death until there were none. To this queer Byzantine mortuary eight assorted guests are invited for a weekend by a mysterious host. While the guests are assembled for cocktails prior to going in to dinner, a voice comes out of the air, accusing everyone present of murder. While the guests are exchanging data on themselves and on their host, one of the ten little Indian statuettes topples off the mantle and breaks â immediately thereafter the giddy Oxonian chokes to death of cyanide. One down and nine to go. Then the excitement begins and never lets down until the final curtain. All in turn meet their fate, in a phantasmagoria of gruesome (and very comical) details, involving clues, explanations, suspicions and terror. The play was presented on March 16, 17, and 18. âHeâs dead! Shot through the head! m Attendant Marjorie Swinford Attendant Shirley Bateman Attendant Arlene Lawson Bali Drums beating in the jungle, exotic scents floating through the air, orchid and palm trees swaying to the music of Mickey Isley and his or- chestra â such was the setting for the 1 960 Junior Prom. Couples attending the prom were greeted by South Pacific natives, gaily attired in their multi- colored sarongs. A tropical island was situated in the middle of the dance floor, complete with sand, water, and, of course, a big yellow moon. Refreshments were served from a real grass hut, which included an authentic native kettle. Attendant Attendant Sally Spisak Leanne Frazen Attendant Elaine Gust Candidate Norm Luttinen Candidate Dick Steiner Candidate Craig Kelly Hai The long-anticipated moment of the evening came with the crowning of the Prom King and Queen. Last yearâs King and Queen, Mike Sulli- van and Nancy Gullic, had the honor of bestow- ing the crowns upon their successors, Linda Monroe and Lenny Eaton. The Queenâs throne was a sequin-covered shell with blue streamers in the background, giving a sunburst effect. To put the final touch on a memorable eve- ning, the couples dined at George Diamond s, where they danced to the music of the Eagle Brothers following the dinner.

Doors Sports We Enjoy The â61 thinclads will really have to work to better the record breaking â60 season that they had last year. Last yearâs track team won 9 meets and lost 1, dropping only to Hobart. They were unde- feated in Conference competition and also won the Calumet Conference meet. This was the first Mer- rillville Conference Varsity Track Championship. In fact, it was the best track season in the history of the school. Winning the Conference 880 yard run and set- ting a new school record of 2 :07 :4 were victories captured by this yearâs co-captain, Lenny Eaton. Chuck Boris, the other co-captain, is also a very apt track man who runs the 440 yard dash and the mile relay. Earning a varsity letter as a Sophomore was Frank Stoikowitz. Frank pole-vaulted a very re- spectable 1 1 ft. in the Gary sectionals. A very versatile track man who runs low hurdles and two filed events is Tom Workman. Tom tied the school high jump record, 5 ft. 9 in., last year as a Sophomore, and hopes are high that he will top the record this year. Frank Stoikowitz, one of the top pole vaulters on the team.

Pirates Football Campaign Rugged Co-Captains: TOP ROW: Len Eaton, Rick Schmidt, BOTTOM ROW: Dick Stiener, Gordon Schaffner. Although the accomplishments of the 1960 Pirate var- sity squad did not match those of the previous season, the teamâs play gave the student body many exciting moments. Working and fighting to overcome the handicaps of being undermanned, inexperiences, and badly crippled by injuries, the Pirates ended their season with 1 win, 2 ties, and 7 losses. Pirate spirit, throughout the campaign, never failed to show itself. The teamâs only win was a 14 â 7 triumph over River Forest, a non-conference rival. The ties came against East Gary Edison and Lowell. However, it was the Wirt game, that the team, play- ing highly inspired football, gave its supporters its big- gest thrills. Despite the seasonâs record, Head Coach Richard Demarree and Assistants Don Patz, Lloyd Ahlbrand, John Stefek, and Lafery Armantrout look forward to the return of many underclassmen with game experience. 26 Schmidt, D.

Touchdown! 28 The Pirate reserve squad headed by Coach John Stefek played to a .500 season with a won-lost rec- ord of 4â4. Team wins were earned over East Gary Edison, Andrean, Calumet, and Portage. The losses were to Dyer, Gary Edison, Lowell and Griffith. Some of the big men in the âLittle Pirateâ attack were George Gilrowski who accounted for 96 of the teams 148 points and backs Dave Rosen- balm and Ken Luedtke, second and third highest scorers who had point totals of 31 and 21 respec- tively. This yearâs reserve squad offers substance to op- timism for future varsity team hopes. Assisting reserve football coaches were Mr. Patz and Mr. Armantrout, the latter, a newcomer to this school.

After dropping their opener to Hammond Tech., they came back to win against Calumet, Portage, Hobart, and Chesterton respectively. Next the team went into the Annual Invitational Tournament with the determination to win and they did! In the first game of the tourney they overcame the Eagles of East Gary, 72-71, in one of the most thrill- ing games of the season. Bob Hacker won the game with a freethrow. The second game pitted the Pirates against the Warriors of Calumet. The Pirates over- ran the War- riors in the last quarter, winning 71-64. The championship game proved to be a good one. Going all the way to the wire with the Lowell Red Devils, the Pirates came out on top, 69-66. Not only did the team win the tournament, but the cheering section won the cheering trophy, and Tom Workman was selected the most valuable player of the entire tournament. 31 Kelly underneath for two. Pirates End Successful Campaign Tom hits one from the charity stripe. The Pirate basketball squad widened its winning streak to 9 by downing Crown Point and Griffith 60 â 47 and 59 â 49 respectively. After this, the Pirates found the going tough as they were dropped by East Gary and Dyer. The Pi- rates bounded back by taking their next two con- tests against Hammond Morton and Renssalear but fell before conference champions Wirt, 47 â 43. Next came the hottest night for the Merrillville five â a record 88 â 48 tromping of South Thorton Fractional. The next two games found the Pirates losers by close scores to Lowell and Gary Emerson. The team finished the season in fine fashion by beating Edison, Highland and Hebron by substan- tial margins. However, the sectionals proved a dis- appointment to Pirate rooters. After downing the Calumet Warriors twice in regular season play, the pirates succumbed to the old proverb that the third time is a charm. The pirates bowed 59 â 62. In general, the campaign was a success with a 15 â 7 record. The outlook for next year looks good with 4 lettermen returning. 32 Bob scrambles for the loose ball. with a 15 â 7 Record Frosh team: (A team denoted by darker jerseys).

The â60-61 squad probably will not be as strong in this field, but they have lots of promise in their pitching due to the return of three experienced pitchers. Since most of last yearâs lettermen are gone, this yearâs team will have to depend partly on under- classmen. All in all, we look forward to a very respecta- ble season, and wish the team and coaches the best of luck this spring. Tim tries, but Jim is safe. Batsmen Nab Second TOP ROW: D. Rzeplinski, J.

This yearâs golf team looks forward to a very fine season. Last year, the team finished second in the Calumet Conference, dropping all opponents with the exception of Dyer. For the first time last year, they participated in the Dyer Invitational Tourney, the La Porte Invitational Tourney, and the section- als. The team did not score exceptionally well in these tourneys last year, but will fare better this year. The team lost three of their five lettermen, but Jerry Fieser and Norm Luttinen along with some strong freshman players have high hopes for the coming spring. 35 The Pirate wrestlers opened their 3rd season with a veteran-studded team. Returning veterans con- firmed Coach Davisâ hopes for an outstanding season, by winning 5 out of their first 6 meets, dropping their first meet to Crown Point 24-26. The Pirates then went on to down Dyer 40-10, Gary Edison 29-23, Portage 45-5, Wirt 58-0, tied Lowell 28-28. They went on to defeat Gary City Champions, Gary Roosevelt, 32-21 and Culver Mili- tary Academy 25-18. There are some outstanding athletes heading the grapplers into victories. These boys â Lenny Eaton, Tom Bothwell, John Wilson, Larry Lonsbury, John Keveany â are mainly responsible for the success the Pirates are enjoying this year. Although the season isnât over yet and there are many exciting moments ahead, I believe that the Pir- ate grapplers have the skill and determination to come out on top.

This yearâs cross-country team, after only a fair sea- son, finished fifth in the all-important conference meet. Distinction was heaped on team-captain Mike Vel- asco who was chosen on the All-Conference cross- country team. Mike did this by finishing a strong sixth in the conferences best runners. He is the first such person in the schoolâs history to receive such an honor. Other team stalwarts, Stan Smith, Wolfgang Bley, and Bob Hacker, supported teammate Velasco dur- ing the season. 37 Reserve Cheerleaders: S. Grant, K. Primich, T. Zuccolotto, D. Grant.

The club is under the direction of the varsity cheerleaders who supervise the monthly pep sessions. To help unify the block section, pur- ple beanies and white blouses were worn by the members. Pep Club members also have become quite skilled in the use of the purple and white cards. Pep Club has won trophies in the holiday Christman tournament and has set an outstanding example of school spirit. 39 G. A. A.

Two new developments highlighted this year ' s G.A.A activities. Under sponsor Miss Olerâs direction, a new constitution and point system was drafted and adapted by the association. Also, for the first time in M.H.S. history, the schoolâs G.A.A. became affiliated with the state organization. The annual Sock Hop, given in the school gym. was a success both socially and financially. To complete a full season of activities, the association held its annual banquet. Outstanding girls were rewarded at this banquet. TOP ROW: W. Bley, D. Price, T. Biemat, J. Rouhselang, C. Boris, G. Schaffner, R. Hacker, C. Kelly, R. Steiner, T. Snyder, N. Luttinen, R.

Lettermen Amend Constitution The purpose of the Lettermenâs Club is to promote good sportsmanship, clean living, and participation in athletics. Besides these aims, the club is quite active socially. The Athletic Ball, one of the biggest and most extravagant social events of the school year, attracts large numbers of pupils. The Clubâs annual candy drive helps to pay for the various activities of the club. Due to a change in the constitution, persons seek- ing membership in the Lettermenâs Club must earn two major letters in any sport, and must also be voted upon by the members of the club. Previous eligibility was based on one varsity letter. Officers: T. Snyder, Sec.; J. Rouhselang, Treas.; R. Schmidt, V. Pres.; L. Massey and M.Velasco, Sgt-at-arms; R. Stiener, Pres. 41 Through M. H.

German Club Purchases Toys An interest in the German language and a knowledge of the habits and customs of the German people â these are the aims and purposes of the German Club. Under Mrs. Driscollâs sponsorship, these goals were attained both by discussions and study of cultural matters. Social activities were highlighted by an ice-cream social, the proceeds of which went for the purchase of toys for a local orphanage. In addition to this charitable gesture, German Club members held a dance and concluded the year with a banquet. At both events, all who attended were encour- aged to wear native German dress.

The purpose of the Spanish Club, the promotion of interest of members in Spanish language and the Spanish-speaking countries, was well met throughout the year. Complementing the academic aspect of the club, members gave their annual dance â a gala event complete with Spanish decor and motif. Finally, to round out the clubâs activities in authen- tic fashion, the members held the annual banquet by serving Spanish food to members who came dressed in Spanish attire.

The members went to see âSpartacus,â sold slaves at their scholarship fund, and sponsored a dance. This year the club worked on the state convention at Indiana University, had an exchange student speak at one of their meetings, and showed movies at their meetings. Students who want to join Latin Club must be currently enrolled in Latin or have had one year of Latin. Officers â D. Johnson, Sec.; G. Senko, Sgt.-at-Arms; J. Hein, Pres.; W.

Top Athletes Awarded The Junior Hi-Y, under the capable guidance of Mr. Richard Demaree, enjoyed another season of serv- ice and fun. Seeking to serve others and to give a claim where it is due, the club during Citation Day Ceremonies, pre- sented trophies to the outstanding atheletes in each of the major sports. In addition to this, Junior Hi-Y activities consisted of their annual Hobo Dance and a trip to Chicago to see a hockey game. 52 The Senior Hi-Y, sponsored by Mr. Loyd Ahlbrand, is a service organization which has a tremendous effect on the community and school. The annual Christmas Dance, this year called the Snow Flake Fantasy, is sponsored by the Senior Hi-Y. Those who attended the Christmas Dance donated toys and gifts which were then distributed to needy families. The club also presented trophies to the outstanding athletes in each of the minor sports.

Promotes Interest in Homes Future Homemakers of America set as their goals, an improvement in personal, family and com- munity living. The clubâs sole requirement for membership is enrollment in a Home Economics course. A full schedule of both business and fun filled this yearâs agenda, beginning with a formal initi- ation of new members and including such events as the Sweetheart Dance and the annual fund- raising projects. Conventionâs activities occupied club members as well. The school F.H.A. sponsored the district convention. This year, as they have done in the past, the club sent two girls to the annual state convention which was held at Ball State. Would YOU like to buy some candy?

Members look over thank you notes which they received from the retarded childrenâs class. The Future Teachers of America, is an organization formed to acquaint all those interested in the teaching profession with its many opportunities and obligations. Members served as ushers at Open House ceremonies during National Edu- cation Week. Later in the year, the club gave a party for re- tarded children. Club members also served by assisting teachers in various capacities. In this way, they acquainted themselves firsthand with the problems and duties of the classroom teacher. The Merrillville chapter is fully accredited and is a mem- ber of the National Education Association. 56 Science Reaches into Space Dedication to scientific study in all its many aspects â this is the purpose of the M.H.S. Science Club, as it is formed and guided by its sponsor, Mr. James Vermillion. Be- side enrollment in a science course, the club membership seeks imagination and creativity by requiring that each applicant submit a science project. Projects completed were entered in the schoolâs Science Fair. One of the Clubâs proudest and most ambitious ven- tures was the building of a rocket designed to travel twelve miles into the Ionesphere. Science Club members leave their labs long enough to enjoy some social life. A dance is given and a gift, usually of a scientific kind, is left to the school.

Sponsor Jack Johns, to best accommodate the various aptitudes and desires of the students, divided the club members according to these speech areas: poetry, dramatics, debate, humor, and extemporaneous and oratorical speaking. The arrangement has worked well and has proved satisfactory to both teacher and pupil. Speech Club membership is based on enroll- ment in speech class. Above: Debate team members, S. Sobat, L.

Audio-Visual Aids Teachers One of the newest organizations formed at M.H.S., The Audio-Visual Club, dedicates itself to assisting teachers by operating audio-visual equipment ranging from moving- picture projectors to tape-recorders. Besides this, the club offers its services to clubs wishing to use the Audio-Visualâs phonograph and record collection. Every noon this group plays records during lunch periods. Club members, however, mix pleasure with business. Many field trips as well as dances fill out their yearly activity list. Enrollment in an audio-visual class is the sole requirement for membership.

Year of Changes The Student Council, the governing body of students, dedi- cated to promoting better relations among teachers, admin- istrators, and students achieved many firsts throughout the school year. The Council is composed of representatives from each of the 29 home rooms. To remain eligible for membership, each member must maintain a âCâ average. Among the innovations of this yearâs Student Council was the changing of the Homecoming Dance from the traditional Friday night to Saturday night. Decorations for the dance were more elaborate than at any previous homecoming. Much credit for these improvements must go th the coun- cilâs officers: N. Luttinen, Pres.; J. Brugos, V. Pres.; J.

Among their new activities included the evening ceremony for new members and their parents. The tapping ceremony, in which twenty-one members were initiated, was once again conducted over the public address system. The Honor Society through its tutoring service and the high standards of its club has given invaluable aid to the Merrillville student body.

This is a high school honor society initiated for the purpose of promoting and furthering interest in journalism and other closely associated fields. Freshman Hi-Y, sponsored by Mr. Armontrout, intro- duces the Hi-Y clubs to the Freshman boys. The pur- pose of the club is the same as the Junior and Senior Hi-Y, which is clean speech and living, and a high standard of sportsmanship and scholarship. To attain these goals the club has several service projects and some social activities. Freshman Hi-Y officers: B. Lavery, B. Kiburz, sponsor, Mr. Armontrout, T. Stiener, J.

Journalism Staff Reorganized Thanks to the reorganization of the journalism class into yearbook and newspaper staffs, this yearâs MER- RILLVUE received the attention and specialized skills that an annual needs. The new arrangement worked satisfactorily for both sections of the journal- ism class. Editor Joan Harlow organized and planned this yearâs annual. She was ably assisted by Karen Tomb and Marcia Griffin Co-business managers and Norm Luttinen sports editor. Giving valuable assistance in copy-writing and layouts were Marilyn Rupee and Steven Sobat. Mr. William Kazlauskis, class sponsor, offered aid and suggestions. Floyd Alexander served as photographer. MERRILLVUE Co-business managers Karen Tomb and Marcia Griffin, balance the books. Joan Harlow, MERRILLVUE EDITOR; Mr. W.

Mirror Takes Big Step Forward This year the Merrillville MIRROR witnessed many changes in publication. By hiring commercial printers, the school âgraduatedâ from the mimeograph form. Co-editors Lee Guse and Cal Shearer assigned the copy, and worked layouts. Margie Swinford, Business Manager balanced the books. Varsity and reserve sports were covered by Sports-Editor Mike Velasco. âLooking Backwardsâ excerpts from old MIRRORS was handled by Karen Hallfrish. Feature stories were reported by Deanna Chiado, while Pam Gibson covered the gossip column. Front page assignments were the duties of reporters Linda Haas, Donna Becker, Carole Kesler, Kerry OâConner, and Gloriann Fletcher. Helpful advice and direction was given by Mr. W. Kazlauskis, Journalism teacher. Macbeth was one of Shakespeareâs plays studied in senior English classes. Here we find Judy Jewell, Barb Johnston and Carol Wise portraying the three witches. Students taking Spanish gained a wider knowledge of Spain and Mexico through movies and research work. In addition to learning the language itsel f, stu- dents studied the habits of the Spanish people and the history of their native land. Spanish is taught by Mrs. Jefferies. Mrs. Driscoll concentrated on teaching her German pupils correct pronunciation of the German lan- guage. A tape recorder and records helped the stu- dents achieve this goal. While advanced Latin students usually study the writings of Ceasar and Cicero, this year they also learned the basic fundamentals of Greek. Mastering the Greek alphabet and learning a few common Greek phrases was their main objective. Mrs. Collins is head of the Latin department. Under the guidance of Mrs. Lynch, senior English classes studied Chaucer and the growth of English literature. This year, the seniors were required to com- pose a sonnet, as well as write essays, themes, and a research paper. Foreign Languages Stimulate Interest Christa Lambrecht improves her German pronunciation through the use of a tape recorder. 66 Students in Sophomore English study social graces as well Tom Workman serenades his Spanish class with some Span- as English grammar. ish folk songs.

To Industrious College Bound Students The basic requirements for college entrance are met bv the college preparatory courses. Students who take these preparatory courses find themselves better pre- pared to cope with the high standards of college today. Among the college prep courses offered at MILS- are world geography and world history, which prepare the student for U S history , chics, and economics. Govern- ment. a required subject at M.H.S.. was highlighted this tear with debates concerning the presidential can- didates. The debates were followed with the students taking a secret vote for the candidate of their choice. Advance biology, chemistry and physics are some of the prep courses offered to the budding young scientists. After the f undamental math course of Algebra I is taken the math department offers further studies in plane geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry, advance algebra, and college algebra. F ach year Merrillvill e offers more college prep courses, and every year we are able to take pride in the out- standing student response to these courses. 69 Mark Johnson uses a linkage to make a circle in his geometry class. 1 Sf i IBv k - G â The vocational courses are designed to prepare stu- dents for almost any type of work they may undertake in the future. Students planning a career in the business world bene- fit greatly from the commercial course. Such courses as typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, office practice, office machines, and business math give the students an under- standing of the mechanics of the business world. Girls planning a career as a homemaker study cook- ing, sewing, home nursing, and interior decoration in their ho me economics classes. By taking home-ec, girls learn how to operate a successful and efficient home. Courses in auto mechanics and the various shops are offered for boys who want to develop their manual skills. Architectual drawing is offered to the student who is in- terested in this type of work. Boys with an interest in farming or conservation find the agricultural course quite helpful. The newest meth- ods in farming are introduced and used by the students. Mark Seeley and John Thrall take a soil test on a local farm.

Once again something new occurs at Merrillville. This year it is the Dance Band under the direction of Mr. Frank Meltzer. The Dance Band, consisting of 14 members, has proved to be of great assistance to school dances and organizations. The Marching Band has again shown their great abilities by ranking among the best in the state. We must also credit the Pep Band for the wonderful team spirit which they have produced at the football and basketball games. The Twelve Teens, a choral group consisting of six girls and six boys, have provided much entertain- ment for the school and other organizations outside the school. The four choirs along with the Twelve Teens are under the direction of Mr. Jerould Rhein- hart. The art department directed by Mr. James Holder- man, was also in the limelight this year. Among their many successful projects were: ceramics, sculp- turing, mosaics, and oil paintings. The art students have shown definite talent and originality in these projects. The beautiful work of the art department is greatly appreciated throughout the school. Ron Vargo, an able drummer in the school band, practices one of his specialties. Have Earned Recognition The Dance Band provided much entertainment at the Friday night dances. Students taking Driverâs Education receive invaluable information pertaining to the safe use of automobiles. They participate in actual driving periodically and be- come well acquainted with the manual functions of driving an automobile. Also, a host of information per- taining to the mechanical function and maintenance of the automobile is presented to them. The information obtained by pupilâs participating in Driverâs Educa- tion enables the students to become safe, responsible drivers. Persons completing Driverâs Education receive instruction not only in safe driving, but also in many mechanical functions of the automobile. The studentâs physical education is seriously consid- ered at M.H.S. Numerous games, sports and exercises are geared to help the pupil improve his physical growth. One year of physical education is required at Merrill- ville to help students become physically fit. A general knowledge of body functions and safety habits are acquired by students participating in Health and Safety. Many diseases, both mental and physical, are discussed to help M.H.S. students gain good hygenic habits. Pat Wadlington and Ken Ward study the organs of the body with the aid of a plastic model in Health and Safety class.

Through M. H. S. Doors We Meet Personalities CECIL TONAGEL Township Trustee EDGAR L. MILLER Supervising Principal Supervisors Assume Much Responsibility The efficient operation of Ross Township schools de- pends a great deal on the ability of the administration to see that the township schools are effectively oper- ated, and that the high educational standards of area schools are maintained. The administration works with county and state officials as well as local supervisors. These positions are the most important ones in the school system. Mr. Cecil Tonagel, a county official, is directly responsible for the operation of schools in Ross Town- ship. An official elected for four years, Mr. Tonagel is serving his second year in office. As Township Trustee, it is his job to check with the various local supervisors and make certain that the schools are operating effi- ciently. He keeps in close contact with school officials and occasionally visits the townshipâs five schools dis- cussing any problems personally with each schoolâs supervisor. Assisting Mr. Tonagel with his work is our Super- vising Principal, Mr. Edgar L. Miller. He is more closely associated with the schoolsâ supervisors, since his work requires that he spend much of his time work- ing with each supervisor, solving problems which confront them during the year. Some of these prob- lems, things which we students take for granted, are making budgets, supervising the bus routes, hiring teachers, operating the school cafeteria, maintaining the school building, and many other phases of school administration. Improvements made in local schools and in the curriculum of the schools has been the responsibility of these two men. They cleared the way for such im- provements as building additions and a new school in the township. They also played an important part in the selection of new curriculum, adding an auto mechanics shop, a new language class, and an ad- vance biology class in recent years. These improvements and the high educational standard maintained here at Merrillville is due to the work of the administration of our school system. 78 MR. HENRY WICHMANOWSKI Principal MR. JAMES BOVARD Assistant Principal Administration Sets High Standards The work of the teachers here at Merrillville is di- rected by Mr. Henry Wichmanowski, principal, and Mr. James Bovard, assistant principal. Their job is to insure the high level of education maintained today. A lot of planning is required to achieve the smooth operation of the school. One thing which we take for granted is the scheduling of classes, an operation which requires the work of several weeks even for the simple little cards which direct us to our classes on the first day. Besides the routine job of scheduling classes each year before school starts, Mr. Wichmanowski and Mr. Bovard have directed the changeover from 55 minute classes to 70 minute classes and have added several new courses to the curriculum. This year, they pro- vided, for the students, a chance to obtain expert help with their schedules and college questions by employing a guidance director. Although the direction and supervision of the every- day operation of the school takes much of their time, Mr. Wichmanowski and Mr. Bovard administer many aptitude, merit, and college scholarship examinations which are of great value to the student in deciding what courses to take and whether or not to continue their education. These tests also provide the teachers with concrete evidence of each students capabilities. Due to the efforts of our administration in all these facets of supervision, Merrillville High School enjoys the distinction of having high educational standards. We have good reason to be proud of o ur school and equally good reason to be proud and grateful to the administration that directs it. 79 âGive me that old soft shoe!â Sneaking a break again, right Mr. Rose and Mr. Hysong?

Seniors Review Four Years While history was being created throughout the world, we were creating history of our own. We were developing the personalities that would emerge as ma- ture individuals from the sheltering world of high school. Within this world we were introduced to the rituals of high school by the process of initation. Co- operation was taught through practical experience. Our success was evident by the popularity of our first dra- matic attempt, âTime Out for Ginger.â A year older, and more confident, we presented âYou Canât Take It with Youâ while we were sopho- mores. Although we hadnât yet produced an âall Americanâ athlete, our athletes showed promising abil- ity. It was during this year, too, that we chose char- coal gray and white class sweaters. A note of distinc- tion was added by the unique lettering which was designed by a member of our class. Growing still in our individuality, we chose an emer- ald cut, blue sunburst stone for our junior class rings. Winning the Calumet Conference Football Crown and all sports trophy was proof of the athletic ability of our class. Proof of our ability in the dramatic de- partment, too, was the production of âDear Ruth,â a romantic comedy. Adding a sentimental touch to this year was our prom, âBali Hai.â Our gym was trans- formed to an island of tropical charm, complete with fishnets, palm and orchid trees and a genuine native hut. Novel entertainment was provided by a chalk artist who drew South Seasâ sunsets for us. The post- prom party was held at George Diamondâs, where we were entertained by Jim Lonsbury and the Eagle Brothers. Senior year found us almost ready to emerge from our âworld within a world.â This was our busiest year. Our athletes further distinguished themselves by win- ning the Lake County Holiday Tournament. As dramatists, we topped all previous performances with our interpretation of the popular mystery, âTen Little Indians.â Announcements, senior pictures, caps and gowns all added to the excitement of our nearing grad- uation. On graduation night, May 25, 1961, we heard the wise words of Harland W. White, Director of Admis- sions, Purdue University. One hundred and ninety-six seniors graduated, prepared to meet the demands and opportunities of society through their four yearsâ ex- perience at M.H.S.
