Its classes, teachers, students, and ac- tivities consuitne most of the time and interests of the 928 (students. “Our World” revolves around the sthool every day through five 70 minute periods. We select our courses from a wide curriculum that prepares for college, business, or industry. We students even find our favorite pastimes from among school-related activities and social events — dances plays, banquets, rehearsals, practices for sports, field trips, and even studies. Before we know it though, the year has ended, and “Our World at Merrillville High stops until another year. Yes, during our four years of high school. Mer- rillville is truly . . . “OUR WORLD.” Wait a minute! I know I have a dime here somewhere. Rush hour! A FEW SPARE MOMENTS . . .

Announce- ments for this afternoon NOW FOR THE WEEK-END 10 Queen candidates: Linda Boyd, Judy Mayer, Karen O’Brien, and Jane Shapley. HOMECOMING 1961 Queen, Karen O’Brien. Mr. Demaree congratulates Dave Benjamin on being named Mr. Football. October 21 dawned a cloudy morning, and the high humidity only served to dampen the spirits of the Mer- rillville students. It was Saturday and the night before had witnessed a disheartening loss to the Blazers of Edi- son. As the day wore on though, spirits skyrocketed in anticipation of the Homecoming Dance. The dance ful- filled the expectations of all the couples as they danced to enchanting music. Queen, Karen O’Brien, and Mr. Football, Dave Benjamin, reigned over the dance. The Homecoming activities, which are the annual work of the Student Council, were adorned for the first time by an impressive parade. The members of the commu- nity agreed with the students, faculty, and alumni in their opinion that Homecoming 1961 was a Homecoming to remember. “Come on, kids, make it look real!” “Kiss Me Kate,” the play presented by the Junior Class, was an out- standing success. Based on the Shakespearean comedy, “Taming of the Shrew,” with excerpts from the Broadway production of “Kiss Me, Kate,” the production presented many problems, both in staging and costuming. Because of the limited area of our stage, Mr. Yule, the director, de- serted the formal stage settings and established, for the first time in our school, the open, informal feeling of the Shakespearean theatre by the use of an abstract set consisting of multi-colored wooden frames and platf orms. The planning and building of the set was efficiently managed by Tom Harper. Costumes for the play were made, almost entirely, by Donna Thompson, who succeeded in her wish to dress each actor in the authentic style of the period. Perhaps the most difficult problem concerned the casts learning of lines which were in the dialect of the Elizabethan theatre. Intense study via tape and records was done by the cast in training for pronunciation, expression, etc. Results of this interest and concentration were apparent in the final productions. Public and student reaction to the play was proof enough that the cast and production staff had achieved the goals set for them by the di- rector. When asked why he had chosen a production so far afield from the usual High School three act, Mr. Yule said, “The main purpose of any activity in a school is to learn. My hope is to prove that the classic forms of literature can be understood and enjoyed by today’s youth.” JUNIORS KISS FATE WITH STANDING L. to R. — M. Traber, J. Bley, S. Ritchie, J. Kustron, K.

The gay spirit of the Yuletide came early to M.H.S. this year in the form of the annual Christmas Dance. With tourneys and other activities taken into consideration, December 5 was set as the date for Christmas Dance for 1961. Anticipation of the coming holidays was certainly enhanced if not initiated by the decor and atmosphere that graced Engelhart Gym. As can be seen at the bottom, Santa himself, greeted the couples and accepted their gifts to give to needy children. Christmas trees, snowflakes, and wintry weather outside completed the setting. Refreshments were served and all the couples enjoyed lime punch and holiday cookies. Music with a holiday and a dreamy flavor provided varied dancing for everyone. The Senior Hi-Y, the or- ganization that annually sponsors this semi-formal event, certainly did a crea- tive and effective job of decorating and organizing the 1961 Christmas Dance. 14 (1. to r.) Pam Heisterberg, Jeanette Minniti, Carole Kucan, and Sandra Grant. QUEEN JEANETTE REIGNS IN 62 March 10th saw the annual presentation of the Athletic Ball, sponsored by the Letterman’s Club. The decorations, which were elaborately constructed by the members of the club, con- sisted of a unique display of the school colors supplemented by the use of life size silhouettes of participants of each of the six sports in which an M.H.S. athlete may letter. As is the tradition, this years athletes chose four girls, one from each class, as candidates for Queen of the Athletic Ball. Each class was well represented by their choices, which were as fol- lows: Freshman, Pam Heisterberg ; Sophomore, Sandra Grant; Junior, Carole Kucan; and Sen- ior, Jeanette Minniti. During the week preceding the dance, each of the candidates staged a vigorous campaign, after which the whole student body voted. On the appointed evening, the couples danced to the ecstatic music of Veto Manno. Finally the awaited hour arrived, and Mr. Demaree placed the crown upon the head of Jeanette Minniti. Queen Jeanette also received a bouquet of flowers from the Letterman’s Club and reigned for the rest of the evening as the 1962 Athletic Queen. Mr. Demaree crowns Queen Jeanette. 15 TOP ROW: (1. to r.) M. Tubich, D. Kurth, F. Carter, W. Catlow, K. Canino. BOTTOM ROW: J. Whitworth, C. Mullen, J. Helbling, J. Taylor.

But they’ll get their money’s worth at the trial. You wait!” Under the capable direction of Mrs. Agnes Lynch, with the aid of Lynda Ver- plank, Student Director, the Senior Class of 1962 presented the 3 act play “Night Must Fall” written by Emlyn Williams. It was the story of psycopathic killer, who after committing one murder, comes to live with a fussy old woman as her “son” with the intention of killing her for her money. Olivia, the old woman’s niece, both repelled and attracted to Dan, feels there is something behind his strange be- havior. Not until the discovery of the murdered woman with her head severed, does she suspect that he is the murderer. Suspense builds as Dan’s hatbox which is just the size to hold a head is discovered. Dan finally murders Mrs. Bramson, but justice reigns and in the end the police take him away to be hanged, leaving Olivia re- lieved but desolate. The people behind the scenes are as important as the cast itself. (1. to r.) D. Rainford, L. Ver- plank, C. Bublitz, and A.

As they walked along the path, they threw pennies in a wishing well, stopped and chatted on the park benches, and found time to dance to the band of Mickey Isley. Then they walked down “Main Street” until they came to the Queen’s throne, just in time for the crowning of Sheryl and Larry get refreshments at the Ice Cream Parlor. They were served by Pam and Phil. Servers, dressed in their costumes of the ’90’s, added to the atmosphere. Left to right are as follows: R. Fieser, R. Hardt, M. Johnston, G. Gill, P. Marshall, T.

GAY NINETIES the King and Queen. Last year’s King and Queen, Lenny Eaton and Linda Monroe, crowned Randy Sanders and Janine Schwanke, the new King and Queen. Following their reminiscent visit to the “Gay ’90’s” the couples dined at Vogel’s and danced to the music of Johnny Nolan. The park scene, one of the main features of the Prom, was drawn by Karen Canino. Everyone enjoyed danc- ing the night away to the music of Mickey Isley. 19 Velveteens: (1. to r.) B. Santelik, M.

Accompanist: K. Cisarik; Dancers: K. Parlock, S. DePew; Combo: D. Harris, D. Rain- ford, J. Carlton. The art, band, and choir departments of our school form the ABC’s of our cultural atmosphere. They have combined experience and teaching to fully develop the students’ abilities. The pep band has proved to be a service to the student body by the spirit raising rhythm that we enjoy at every home game. Another division of the band, a combo, has ably assisted various singing groups. The choir department produced three groups this year, the Vocal Teens, Velveteens, and dancers, Shari DePew and Karen Parlock. They are the most active traveling, performing groups in the school. This year they performed before hundreds of the general public by singing at banquets, conventions, contests, concerts, and for the first time at the March of Dimes Telethon in Evansville. The art department has in recent years branched out to include all Merrillville students. They worked on a mural of Merrillville to be placed in the cafeteria. By this means M.H.S. students were able to appreciate their work more fully. An- other excellent example of their work was the Junior- Senior Prom.

Besides learning speech techniques, students in speech class also learn the rules of courtesy to the speaker. ENGLISH AND SPEECH ARE LIFE, LITERATURE, AND WORK Deciphering sentences into diagrams, applying grammar rules, conjugating verbs, and writing themes are familiar tasks to English classes. From Shakespearean plays to modern 20th century novels, literature gives students a knowledge of the many forms and styles of writing. Silas Marner, David Copperfield, Julius Caesar, and Macbeth provide versatility and enjoyment in English courses. The use of films and records acquaints students with the distant places which they study. College Prep classes offer senior students an English course in literature and grammar which prepares them for college. The English department endeavors to improve students’ speaking habits by offering a class in public speaking. Stu- dents enrolled in this course learn to write and present speeches after studying famous orations. Panel discussions and debates provide variety. Speech contests are sponsored by many civic organizations throughout the state. Shari DePew and Bob Kiburz participated in such a speech con- test held at Andrean High School in November. Shari was presented with a first place award and Bob received second place. Panel discussions lend variety and interest to Freshman English classes. 22 JOURNALISTS RECORD A YEAR OF SCHOOL MEMORIES This year the Mirror was once again in mimeographed form. By the less expensive process students were given a better understanding of the printing process. Editor Dave Fox assigned stories to the reporters and worked many hours to make the paper a success. Business Manager Lynda Verplank handled the finances. Other staff mem- bers were Valerie Saems, club editor; Floyd Carter, personality editor; Dan Wade, sports editor; Karen Canino, Colleen Schenher, Helen Young, June Maxwell, Joyce Fortier, Cindy Lewandowski, and Theresa Smederovac. Co-editors Carol Mullen and George Senko strived to make this year’s yearbook “all new.” Janie Hayes, business manager, balanced the books. Members of the staff worked hard to record the heartbeat of the school in this year’s annual. Mirror staff takes time to criticize its work. (1. to r.) J. Fortier, C. Schenher, Mrs. Felling, C.

Latin II students study Roman dress. The role of a foreign language in higher educa- tion is well known to those students who have in- cluded it in their high school background and also to those who omitted it from theirs. Along with the study of the language itself a detailed and helpful insight into the culture of the native land is pro- vided by a language course. This year for the first time students who want to further their quest for knowledge may do so by tak- ing Latin IV. Fourth year Latin is the answer for many who may be looking forward to a language major in college or to a job in related fields. Mrs. Collins enjoy teaching the Latin IV class, and the course itself contains a great deal of background material. Looking down the south hall and into Room 11, we can see Mrs. Jeffries teaching her Spanish I and II classes. The emphasis in her class is on conver- sational Spanish which will prepare students for jobs in Spanish speaking countries. She is also stressing knowledge of the countries of Latin and South America. Along with these Romance Languages the M.H.S. Language Department also provides two years of German. Although German is relatively new, the enrollment is high and increases with each new year. In the German classes Mrs. Driscoll is pointing out the importance of knowing the history of a country to understand its customs and to really grasp the meaning of its language. Records and recordings help Spanish diction. 25 SCIENCE AND MATH RESOLVE WHYS AND WHEREFORES Mr. Vermillion makes a last minute check-uD. Reports of Russia’s scientific advancement have caused a re-evaluation of our own educational system — more emphasis on math and science. Although one year of science and two years of math fulfill the requirements for gradua- tion, courses in chemistry, physics, advanced algebra, and solid geometry are offered to those who want to further their knowledge. Science and math are not limited strictly to “book learn- ing.” Practical applications are a part of classroom knowl- edge. Dissecting frogs and examining bacteria under microscopes in biology, or making sulfur in the chemistry lab are but a few of the many experiments we do each experiment giving us a clearer understanding of these vast fields. New equipment such as a binocular dissecting microscope and a micro projector have been purchased. This will aid in dissection and group experiments. These opportunities and many more are being provided to keep students up to date in the latest scientific fields. Senior students Bobbie Bishop, Jeff Brugos and Lee Klausman are advanced by trigonometry. Freshman biologists Nancy Kelley and Russ Stickles dissect a frog. EXPLORING THE PAST SHAPES OUR DESTINY Brushing up on current events, Rick Sorrels, Bill Braatz, and Nancy Stahler prepare for a government class discussion. The study of history provides an understanding of the wisdom and error of earlier peoples. Two elective courses offered at M.H.S. are world geog- raphy and world history while U.S. history and government-economics are requirements for grad- uation. World geography, a freshman elective course, deals with physical features of many countries, and it acquaints students with foreign customs. A soph- omore may choose world history as his elective. It covers events from not only the ancient civiliza- tions but also modern world of today. U.S. history is required in the junior year. From this course, students obtain a thorough knowledge of our nation’s development and growth. The only required subject for seniors is government and economics. Government promotes a better under- standing of Federal departments while economics prepares students for business contacts in every- day life. Through social studies courses students are pre- pared for high college standards. Mike Tubich discusses South America with fellow classmates, Kathy Catlow and Mike Kelley. Operating 10-key adding machines, Theresa Smederovac, Jeanette Minniti. and Linda Pad- gett are acquiring skill in one phase of the business machines course. BUSINESS STUDENTS ACHIEVE DISTINCTION A variety of courses are offered to prepare students for business vocations. As sophomores, business students are introduced to the many vocational opportunities in the business world through general business. Typing I and II and Shorthand I and II comprise the preparation for the secretarial field. This year several Typing II students reached speeds of 70 words or more per minute with no errors. Shorthand students also received distinction with 120 words per minute. Better utilization of dictation records was made pos- sible through the use of earphones. Calculators, adding machines, and mimeo- graphs are familiar machines to office practice and business machines classes. The task of of- fice practice students is to prepare copies of tests, programs, and charts for teachers. One semester course in business machines is alter- nated with a course in clerical practice. Bookkeeping students are able to apply their knowledge through the use of practice sets. Students are urged to continue their educa- tion before acquiring positions as business teachers, secretaries, auditors, and other pro- fessional positions. INDUSTRIAL ARTS AND A useful and successful life involves various de- sirable attitudes, habits, and accomplishments. In- dustrial Arts and Home Economics strive to bring about these characteristics by giving students an op- portunity to not only study, but also gain experience through the use of tools and materials. There are a variety of shop courses offered at M.H.S., including wood shop, electrical shop, metal shop, and drafting. The newest addition is auto mechanics. Although this auto shop is now only in its third year, it has already proved helpful in train- ing individuals to work as mechanics and techni- cians in the automotive field. The Merrillville Auto Shop has been very fortunate in obtaining a con- siderable amount of equipment in the past years. Lee Klausman’s knowledge of mechanical drawing helps the Science Club’s rocket project. Auto Shop provides maintenance for student’s cars. 30 HOME ECONOMICS PROVIDE VOCATIONAL TRAINING Cooking I gives a basic knowledge of culinary arts. Girls taking the Home Eco- nomics curriculum study cloth- ing and cooking the first year. The next year they proceed to home nursing, child care, and cooking. A course of improve- ment and advanced sewing are provided in the third year, fi- nally, fourth year Home Eco- nomics is comprised of sewing and interior decorating. Choosing the pattern, laying out the pieces, and actual sewing are all a part of the work in sewing class. 31 32 “Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one . . gasps a freshman boy as he falls to the floor and his part- ner records his grade. Calisthenics are accompanied by various group games that provide recreation. “Free days” break the regular routine of physical education class. Students are allowed to participate in any game of their choosing. On the other side of the awesome motorized partition, the girls play many kinds of group games. The most popular of these is volleyball. Organized sports are only part of the gym class activities. The girls are also offered “free days” on which they may choose any game or do homework. For the second year mixed health and safety classes stress important good health habits. Filmstrips, movies, and other audio-visual aids are the accompanying backbone to the text. A screech of brakes and Mr. Englehart’s jangled nerves are the patterns of the new driver in his first day behind the wheel of our modem, well-equipped drivers training car. A six-weeks course precedes instruction in the car. These departments all help to make our world complete at M. H. S. Freshmen girls choose volleyball as their sport on a “free day.” PHYSICAL AND Val Domianus practices her volleyball serve. Exercise and sports build physical maturity. MENTAL SKILLS BUILD BETTER CITIZENS . Practice makes perfect! 33 Our World’ Provides C y rpSsu of 1 m K s- oL, c - Ljsm ( A o i- cl -Q Many Activities DEUTSCH KLUB ACHIEVES HONORS Promoting a better understanding of the habits and customs of Germany, the German Club viewed films and participated in discussions. The club’s Homecom- ing float received first place in the competition. Mules were used to pull the float, while members who were dressed in German costumes surrounded a gigantic stein. Bake sales, featuring German cookies, provided money for a charity project. A banquet, highlighted by native attire and food, brought this year’s activities to a close.

TODAY’S STUDENT, TOMORROW’S TEACHER A large number of services were provided by the F.T.A. this year. One of the most note-worthy of these was the giving of their annual Christmas Party for the special education class at the Junior High. When the school went to work to bring teacher and parent closer together by sponsoring an open house, once again we saw the F.T.A. lending a helping hand by providing usherettes and helpful information. Another gesture by the F.T.A. that occurs annually is the presentation of apples to each teacher on Valentine’s Day. Our chapter of the Club is active in both the state and national organizations. The activities of these groups included conventions for both. F.T.A. members helpped direct parents at open-house.

As of past years it has been a very active club, and this year it has been no exception. The members went to Chicago to further their cultural interests in Latin. And each spring at the annual banquet, slaves serve food to their masters who purchased them with small donations that went into the club’s scholarship fund. Also at one of their monthly meetings their guest speaker was a foreign exchange student from Germany; and at another meeting they had a style show displaying authentic Roman costumes. They sponsored one of the Friday night dances under the qualified and very able direc- tion of Mrs. Collins, Latin Sponsor. SEATED 1. to r. — D. Fox, Pro. Chair; V. Saems, Treas.; L.

SPEECH CLUB SPEAKS OUT The Speech Club changed its entire make-up this year. Under the leadership of the new sponsor, Mr. Yule, the club has revised its point system, and it is participating in many more events and activities. The most important of these activities included interscholastic contests, speaking to groups such as the Rotary, and participating for the first time in the American Legion Oratorical Contest. Presentation of the pins, the banquet, and a trip to Chicago were some of the highlights of the year. 40 BOTTOM ROW — J. Brugos, J. Patton, J. Halber- Gullic; TOP ROW — R. Loftain, D.

SCIENTISTS AT WORK While everyone else was enjoying the freedom of the first few days of long- awaited summer vacation, the Science Club, sponsored by Mr. James Vermillion, was busy at work. On June 24, 1961, they launched their first rocket, the Infinity I at Fort Knox, Kentucky. With this success, plans were begun for more rockets using the same principles with slight modifications. But with all their scientific experiments, the members of the Science Club managed to leave their laboratories long enough to give a dance and to take several field trips. STANDING, L. to R. — W.

SPONSORS PROJECTS Decorating a showcase for “Orientation Day” was the first project for F.H.A. this year. Sponsors of the club this year, Mrs. Kirtland and Mrs. Seale, directed the girls in decorating a float which received third place in the competition. Monthly programs included a demonstra- tion of cutting and arranging Styrofoam and a speech by local firemen on “Being Safety Conscious in the Home.” The girls collected food and toys at Christmas which were taken to needy families in the community. The local chapter made a contribution to the state proj- ect of supporting three orphans in Germany, Korea, and Lebanon. The year’s activities culminated in the senior farewell and initia- tion of new officers. Officers. SEATED , L. to R. — L. Markovich, Song Leader; L. Vlasic, Song Leader; J. Novak, Pres.; D.

Mrs. Bovard and Miss Burrus, sponsors, helped promote a social event initiated this year, the “Daddy-Date- Night.” The chili supper in November brought in money which was used to support the State Riley Fund. Dressing dolls for the Salvation Army and caroling at the Parramore Hospital and County Home emphasized the club’s yuletide season. The event- filled year ended with the annual spring tea.

DIGS FOR AGRICULTURAL ADVANCEMENT The F.F.A. is one of the oldest organizations in our school. The Merrillville Chapter of the F.F.A. has participated in local, regional, and state contests. Aside from the obvious types of competition evident in farm work, there are many other forms of rivaling between chapters themselves. With competition as an incentive, each member works to maintain the ideals and goals of his chapter. Leadership, cooperation, citizenship, and agriculture advancements are the foremost objectives of the club. Tractor dem- onstration is beneficial to F.F.A. mem- bers. 44 L. to R. TOP ROW: J. Gill, G.

As usual, the main activity of the club was the sponsor- ing of the annual Christmas Dance. Those who attended the dance donated toys and gifts which were then distrib- uted to needy families in the community. The platform of the club is clean living and speech, and a high standard of sportsmanship and scholarship. 45 (TOP ROW) R. Clark, B. Kiburz, J. Whetsel, M. Hal- sted, T. Steiner, T. Vendl, J.

One of these was their trip to Evanston, Illinois. They saw the Wildcats of Northwestern Univer- sity play the Buckeyes of Ohio State University. Later in the year, the club sponsored a sock hop aft- er a Friday night game. The year ended with the club’s presentation of trophies to the outstanding players in the four major sports, baseball, track, football, and bas- ketball.

Although the club is small, it is noticeably larg- er than in the past, and shows signs of continuing growth. In order to make money, the club held a car wash and planned a field trip for their entertainment. Officers: (1. to r.) M. Ackermann, Vice-Pres. ; Sponsor, Mr. Armontrout; M. Ander- son, Sec.; F.

Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Lynch, the club members also presented plays for organizations in the community and produced an evening of one-act plays. To view professional productions, the club traveled to Chicago to see “My Fair Lady.” At a banquet in the spring, awards were presented to best actress and actor, best character actress and actor, best supporting actress and actor, best sound effects, best stage setting, and best play.

STUDENT COUNCIL IS NUCLEUS OF ACTIVITIES “Will this meeting please come to order,” are the words of Student Council President, Dennis Johnson. Helen Young, secretary, proceeds to read the minutes followed by the report of the treasurer, Kay Semokaitis. “We will begin our plans for 1961-1962.” This was not just idle talk. The Student Council sponsored our annual Homecoming festivities. Added to the usual football games, crowning of the queen, and the Saturday night dance was the debut of the Homecoming parade which proved to be an outstanding display of student originality and organiza- tion. Another plan for the school year was the redecoration of the cafeteria. Many other planned activities combined to make the Student Council year a busy and fruitful one.

The Concert Band performed at the annual Christmas Program and then immediately began preparing for the solo and Ensemble Contest. Almost as soon as the solos were played, the concert group started work in the preparation for the State Contest held at New Haven. The Winter and spring concerts were outstanding musical per- formances and were attended by many. The an- nouncer for the music department this year was Dave Fox, a senior. As each senior accepted his gift rendered by the band parents during the banquet at Tieble’s, they realized as did each member the accomplishments had made all their work seem worthwhile.

This year, our choral department, started its concert season on December 13, 1961, with the annual Christmas pageant, “Season’s Greetings.” The sound of church bells on a clear, crisp Christmas Eve helped tell the story of that first Christmas and the many beautiful traditions which have evolved through the years. The story ' was not only told by the enchanting carols of many lands but with living pictures and modern dances, which were directed by two senior girls, Shari DePew and Karen Parlock. In January the choral department had 48 students entered in the 27 events in the district solo and ensemble contest at Lew Wallace. As the winners of this contest prepared for the state contest in February, the concert choir prepared for its annual winter concert on February 14. The concert choir performed with five other school choirs in a choral festival at Highland High School on March 9. The mass choir of 350 voices sang under the direction of Mr. Robert Godwin of the University of Illinois. To close the 1961-1962 season the choral department pre- sented its spring spectacle, “April Shower of Song.” In May the seniors raised the voices with the concert choir for the last time at baccalaureate and brought to a conclusion another eventful musical year at Merrillville High School. G.A.A. SHOOTS FOR PHYSICAL FITNESS G.A.A. added new spark to its routine activities this year as Miss Goodrich, with the help of the of- ficers and executive board, began planning the year’s activities. One of these new activities was a Mother and Daughter Recreation Night. The girls spread the joy of Christmas through caroling. Later in the year the members enjoyed a skating and slumber party. Sales of candy and baked goods comprised their money-making projects. The annual initiation for Freshmen and new mem- bers was most embarrassing to the initiates. Both old and new members were rewarded for their many hours of participation with pins and letters at the an- nual awards banquet. Officers Miss Goodrich, sponsor; N. Stahler K. Canino, Pres.; A.

Many students who lacked interest in the sport came out to see the PIRATES after their early streak of wins. To start the season off right, the boys won the first Football-o-Rama in Merrillville’s brief history of partici- pation by downing the Red Devils of Lowell 7 — 0. In the fourth quarter of the next game, the PIRATES clinched their first victory in scheduled play by defeating the Calumet Warriors 14 — 12. During the second game the BUCCS held East Gary scoreless as they walked away with a 19 — 0 win. Our next game also proved victorious as the defensive team made a terrific stand in the last quarter to end the game with one point on the Troopers of Wirt. Then came the disheartening loss to Crown Point, one of our oldest rivals. After the loss to the Bulldogs, the gridders came back to smash the Portage Indians 20 — 0 in one of the team’s finer offensive games. In the rest of the games of the season the PIRATES continued to play hard and exciting football, even though they failed to come up with another win. A new rivalry was started this year as Merrillville played the 59ers of Andrean for the first time in the s last game of the season. Pete grabs one. 61 ALL CONFERENCE Pete Uremovich, the PIRATE’S jun- ior tailback, was one of the area’s finest and made the first string Calumet Con- ference Team. Bud Thomas, our center, was honored by making second string and honorable mention was given to seven of the fighting PIRATES. When the season opened, only eight lettermen returned to help the PIRATE squad with a total of twelve seniors. This lack of upperclassmen offered much experience to the three freshmen and four sophomores who played var- sity. With the help of the juniors, it all added up to seventeen lettermen coming back to make a strong Merrill- ville football team for 1962. Fred makes the tackle. George comes around left end.

RESERVES HAVE IT ROUGH Hard at work The 1961 season was everything but bright for the Fresh.-Soph. football team. Although, as in almost any sport, the work put into it was often rewarded in many ways. One of the main reasons for the poor season was the lack of Soph- omores with game experience. This was due to the fact that many of the better sophomores and three of the freshmen were employed on the varsity squad. Coach Stefek looks forward to a better year in ’62 with many good ath- letes in the coming Freshman class. His training helps build a better foundation for future varsity players. 63 FIRST ROW: (1. to r.) Coach Metcalf, B. Hacker, K. Luedtke, B. Nelson, A. Thuren, P. Uremovich, M gr. J. Kish.

The varsity played a fine schedule and brought prestige to both themselves and their school by tying for conference champs, with Crown Point and Lowell. The flexible Pirate squad under the leader- ship of Coach Metcalf used its tremendous depth to bring in many of its 14 wins. The 8 losses that were suffered by the roundball-men were divided equally be- tween scheduled play and tourney competi- tion. The heartbreak of the year occured in our loss to Crown Point in the final game of the Lake County Holiday Tourney. The Gray Sectional proved to be as disappoint- ing, for the Pirates were downed in their opening game by the Horsemen of Horace Mann. The season records were just as bright for the underclass teams. The often forgotten freshmen finished tremendously, losing only three games, which gave them a reputation of 16 — 3. The reserve players can also point to their year’s accomplish- ments with pride. They came out on top in 15 games out of 19. A new basketball rivalry was started this season with “our neighbors up the road.” The beginning of this keen competition proved to be a feather in our caps as we defeated the Andrean “Niners” in all three catagories: Varsity, Reserve and Freshmen. 65 Three men — three layups — six points Benny plows through ! 66 Reserves get set to add two more.

Of the nine teams in the Calumet confer- ence that compete against us in track, only one outpointed the Pi- rates in scheduled play. Wirt, the only team to down the Pirates, later did it again to clinch the conference crown. In the massive conference meet that determines the ranking of the respective track teams, the Pirates faired well and finished third. The season can well be heralded as a record-breaking one. From the time that the first gun sounded at the Chicago indoor meet un- til the boys turned in their equipment, more records were set than in any other year. The unparalleled efforts of the Pirates resulted in breaking 11 records. With many of these record breakers returning, Head Coach Stefek, Assistant Coach Dinsmore, and the Co-Captains, Lee Klausman and Tom Workman, expect a strong season for ’62.

The distinct whack of a solid drive is heard in the warm silence. — FORE!!! — 250 yards, later a small white ball bounces true in the middle of the fairway. This is the spirit of golf. This spirit has been in the blood of the Merrillville golf team for the past five years. Golf, the favorite pastime of many Americans including a recent president, is one of the most stimu- lating sports offered to high school athletes. An ever popular sport, golf provides a good basis for inter- scholastic competition. In the previous season our own team, led by Coach Rose, downed seven of the conference. Mr. Vermillion, the new golf coach, is looking forward to an equally exciting season this year. (1. to r.) D. Schiesser, J. Dobis, A. Thuren, P. Mudrich, Coach Vermillion. 70 TOP ROW: (1. to r.) R.

The 1961 baseball team finished up the season with six wins and nine losses. Their conference record was three and five. The “swinging” PI- RATES took their three conference wins by down- ing Dyer, East Gary, and Portage. Catcher, George Gilrowski, afforded the team its best batting average with his .347 and also 13 of the 66 runs totaled. In the pitching department Ken Kissinger saw the most action by pitching in 7 games, allowing only 35 hits and striking out 31 of the opposition. With 1 2 game-experienced men returning, Coach Metcalf looks forward to a rewarding and profit- able season for ’62. 73 (’■ to r ) TOP R OW : R. Kallenback, B. Kiburz, M. Ac- Marshall, D.

UNDERCLASSMEN HELP CROSS COUNTRY Cross country boys, weary after a hard run, relax in the locker room. Besides providing another fall sport to accom- pany football, the workouts of the cross country team are helpful in preparing many basketball players for their winter season. The ventures of this year’s cross country team were both discour- aging and encouraging. This seeming paradox came about through the efforts of the underclass- men that worked hard for the accomplishments of this season and prepared themselves for the coming years. The sport itself is a grueling test of endurance and calls for the qualities of a good distance runner. Some standouts in this year’s squad were Rick Kallenback, who placed in many meets where the competition was rough, and Russel Clark, who broke the cross country record only to top his own performance twice more. Coach Engelhart has much to work with in the men that are returning next year. These experienced runners and the freshmen that are coming up should form a good running block for the 1962 cross country team. 74 LETTERMEN LEAD ATHLETES as such. These boys are en- titled to the same honors, but do not participate in the ac- tual club meetings or activities. The officers of this year’s group, led ably by Bob Hacker, Pres., worked hard with the dance committee to make the Athletic Ball a very exciting affair. The Athletic Ball which is under the annual sponsor- ship of the Lettermen is always one of the finest Semi-formals of the year. The sixteen mem- bers of this year’s Let- termen Club repre- sent the finest ath- letes from each of the various sports Mer- rillville offers. To gain admittance to the organization one must have earned two major letters in one or more sports. This year, however, seniors who had earned one varsity letter were al- lowed to enter the group. It is true that not all athletes who have “lettered” and meet the qualifica- tions are in the club (1. to r.) Officers: P. Uremovich, Treas. ; M. Tubich, Sec.; B. Hacker, Pres.; J. Brugos, V. Pres.

They, along with our Pep Club under the very capable sponsorship of Miss Sally Goodrich, have led our team to victory through their loyal and enthusiastic support. Although they lost the cheerleading trophy to Crown Point this year after holding it for three years consecutive- ly, it was definitely through no fault of their own. Many hours of work had been spent by both club and cheerleaders in preparation for this event. The team itself has acknowledged the tremendous effect this backing has had on the results of many games. COME 76 i X w op, v it a ML 1 • aA- A VAA- ?

SENIORS BEHOLD “Hail Seniors” was our cry at freshman initiation as we entered “Our World” of homework, cramming for exams, cheering the team to victory, joining clubs, demonstrating our dramatic abilities, and selecting class rings and sweaters. Scholastically we had a higher average than any other M.H.S. class in the history of the school. Several members of our class received medals in the Indiana University Achievement Tests. In our junior year three boys attended Purdue University and Manchester College under a Na- tional Science Foundation Scholarship. Our class produced a Telluride test finalist and semifinalist. The greatest competition of all was the National Merit Scholarship Con- test in which we had three finalists and three students re- ceiving Letters of Commendation. As our final grades were recorded, we found that Dennis Collins had earned the high distinction of valedictorian and James Patton, salutatorian. Scholarship was only one of our many outstanding abilities. We promoted sportsmanship through M.H.S.’s first wrestling team, our freshman year. Making the “starting five” that same year. Bob Hacker and Tom Workman represented our class. In our sophomore year our football and track teams were Calumet Conference Champs bringing the all-conference trophy to M.H.S. In our junior year, determination to win brought M.H.S. the Annual Invitational Basketball Tourney Championship and also, for the third consecutive year, the cheering trophy. With a record of 7 — 2 our basketball team was named Co-Calumet Conference Champs our senior year. The various academic, service, and honor clubs provided us with opportunities for leadership. Spanish and German Clubs were inaugurated in our sophomore year. The girls of our class helped make the S.S.S. the largest in its history our freshman year. The S.S.S. held its District V Convention at M.H.S. when we were juniors. A tutoring service was offered to students by the National Honor Society. Under the direction of the Student Council, the Class of 1962 promoted the first M.H.S. Homecoming parade. Producing class plays and presenting the Junior-Senior Prom were activities to which we offered service. We pre- sented “You Can’t Take It With You” our freshman year, “Meet Me In St. Louis” as sophomores, “Curious Savage” our junior year, and “Night Must Fall” as seniors. Under the faithful direction of our head class sponsor, Mr. John Davis, we used our artistic talents to convert the Engclhart Gym- nasium into a “Gay 90’s” scene for the Junior-Senior Prom. Following the custom of all senior classes, we presented a gift to the school. May 24, 1962, brought to a close all our curricular and extra-curricular activities. On graduation night we 205 seniors stepped from “Our World at M.H.S.” into our own individual worlds, preparing for vocations in medicine, law, teaching, science, government, business, and industry. 88 Congratulations go to Jim Patton and Dennis Collins, our salutatorian and valedictorian.
