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.
