As large numbers stretched the physical facilities at M.H.S. this year, the number and types of activities, club memberships, and the number of administration was increased to meet the needs of the young citizens of M.H.S. Four brand new school buses ferried students to M.H.S. in every type of weather. They brought pupils through drifting snow, pounding sleet, strong winds, drenching rains, and blistering sun each day so that they might expand their knowledge. More comfortable seats, a greater seating capacity, better turf for the grid-men, and an improved track for the cinder men were provided for by the new ath- letic field. Pupils participated in more clubs and activities, chose classes from a broader curriculum, wended their way through more crowded halls, and endured longer lunch lines and jammed lockers. Looking back on this year we see that we have grown a little wiser, more mature, and more aware of tfre fu- ture. Yes, we can truly say that Merrillville is ... OUR EXPANDING WORLD. Some students still must walk through rain, sleet, and snow in order to attend classes. Other students solve the problem of getting to school by riding in buses. IN SCHOOL Congested hails hamper scurrying students.

To provide for further linguistic scholarship, Spanish IV was offered for the first time. Sophomore, junior, and senior classes were for- tunate to have new English literature texts, chalk maps, typewriters, machine shop lathes, audio- visual aids, and a cardiogram machine used for rocket-fuel research by the science department. The experimental method of algebraic and geo- metric instruction, TEMAC, was initiated with much success. The music department was the recipient of new band instruments bought by the school and uniforms and choir robes purchased by the boosters’ clubs. Indeed our classrooms were expanded in scope to offer us educational advantages in courses and instructive aids, so that outstanding opportunities were ours for the taking. Our classrooms were to grow even further with the plans underway for a fifteen room addition. 6 Instructive A ids 7 College Prep and Vocational In an age when man competes with machines, the student must receive and implant all the vocational training he can acquire in his four year span of high school. To keep abreast with our fast-moving, demanding hemisphere, M.H.S. offers varied opportunities for training in commercial or college preparatory courses. Business courses train the student to develop his individual skills and talents while college courses train the student to enlarge his mind and mental processes to their fullest scope. At our school as at many others, students are finding the sphere of knowledge is rapidly becoming an essential tool in our society. 8 Courses Trained Us for Careers Leisure Hours Reflected Even with homework M.H.S. students find time for leisure activities. In the precious few seconds before classes, students cluster in the halls and congregate in the library. At lunch hour most stu- dents cram the day’s gossip and news into a few, short minutes. During springlike days, many walk to the drive-ins and dissolve into the teen world of french fries, hamburgers, “Beatles” and blaring jukeboxes. As always the “Radiator Boys” occupy their own special corner, while the teachers on hall duty grade papers and suspiciously eye any passers-by. Social life does not end with the 3:40 bell. On weekends there are games and sock hops to relieve built up tensions. Acquaintances made at school become fast friends as couples discover the delights of movies, ambling walks, and dances. While social graces are being perfected, students are rapidly expanding their circle of friends. 10 Expanding Interests 11 Same Old Routine 12 Future Citizens Reflect Valedictorian, Kapaka Semokaitis, and salutatorian, Bob Kiburz not only led their class academic-wise but also activity- wise with their many extra-curricular duties. At the commencement exercises before their 227 member graduating class of ’64, Bob and Kapaka spoke of the expand- ing world in which the graduates would have to be individu- alists, competitors, and concerned citizens. Rich Blaney and Kapka Semokaitis were the recipients of the 1963-64 Optimist Club awards for the most outstanding boy and girl of Ross Township. At the annual Optimist dance, the trophies were presented on the basis of merited citizen- ship, character, leadership, and scholarship. Out of a choice of several candidates from Merrillville and Andrean, both winners were selected from M.H.S.! 14 Our Broadening Ideals Merrillville High School is not a vacuum in which its students exist. The spheres of their influence extend throughout the area. The image of the students is reflected through the activities in which they are involved. Deserving students are often awarded for their vari- ous scholastic achievements by school and community organizations. Students with a background in speech entered the state contest held at Ball State. They placed third in the finals for interpretation and defeated Warsaw, the five-time winner in platform theatre, for first place. The D.A.R. Award, Optimist Club Awards, Ameri- can Legion trophies, and the citations for valedictorian and salutatorian demonstrate the ties that link our school to the community. Sue Jones is caught practicing her poem “Renaissance” which won third place at the Ball State Speech Con- test. Shivering speech contestants prepare to leave for the Ball State Speech Contest. The platform theatre group from Merrillville placed first at Ball State for their interpretation of the one-act play “Sorry Wrong Number.” 15 Student Council Sponsored Roger Johnson runs through the hoop starting off the 1963-64 homecoming game. Here is part of the half-time ceremonies performed by the Marching Pirates at the homecoming game. Homecoming week-end brought with it the an- nual return of alumni to watch the parade and game. A treat was in store for all who watched the parade as the ingenuity of the band and junior class to transform chicken wire and napkins into winning floats was shown to full advantage. The game proved to be a tense seat binder as faculty, students and alumni watched the Pirates tangle with the Calumet Warriors, first in Confer- ence. Although losing to the Warriors in the last quarter 14 — 13, the Pirates never let Calumet for- get they were there. To climax the festivities, Judy Kelley and Ron Clark were chosen to reign over the dance. The Student Council sponsored the homecoming dance for 123 couples, as the Moonglows played appro- priate music for the fall memory. Mr. Football, Ron Clark, and Queen, Judy Kelley, reign over Homecoming festivities. 16 Successful M.H.S.

Ham- lin, D. Hill, D. Witter, J. Davis, J. Spitz, R. Schmidt, R. Blaney. (SECOND ROW) G. Culp, D. Malis, M. Bikoff, M. Jacobs, J. Klausman. Intramural pin-topplers enjoyed twelve weeks of bowling fun at the Merri Bowl. In the past, many attempts have been made setting up a successful intramurals program for the people who are good in sports but are never able to play on a var- sity team. This year, through the hard work of the Student Council, a program was started, and quite a bit of interest was generated by the 150 active members who took part in it. Two committees were set up by the Student Council. One for basketball which was headed by Tom Nelson and one for bowling of which Rich Blaney was in charge. The basketball was sponsored by Mr. Maneer and Mr. Annontrout, and the members of the varsity team served as officials. Seventy-two boys signed up and composed the eight basketball teams. The games were played every Wednes- day for eight weeks after which two all-star teams were picked and a game was played on March 6th, during a school assembly. The bowling was sponsored by Mr. Davis, and the games were played every Monday at Merri Bowl. 18 With Enthusiasm Team captains Rich Blaney, Phil Wencl, Mike Bikoff, Clay Bkaitis, Ron Jones, John Benton, Norman Bikoff, and Gail Luttinen (not Present) along with their sponsors, Mr. Maneer and Mr. Armontrout made up the backbone of the newly formed Intramural basketb all teams. John Goldman and Jeff Fox battle for the ball as Gail Luttinen readies himself for a possible interception. Tom Nelson causually relates some helpful comments to Jim Metcalf on the fundamental rules of basketball. 19 Former King and Queen Crowned Leading the grand march at a sedate pace were Suzi Larson and Bill Putz, Prom king and queen. As Linda Montgomery pinned a boutonniere on Gary Gullic she was fulfilling an old M.H.S. tradition of ex- changing flowers for the prom. East and West met on May 4 to provide an evening of Oriental Enchantment for the Junior- Senior Prom. Couples danced in an oriental garden to the strains of Mickey Isley’s band. They gazed dream- ily at murals of the Orient, the Japanese garden, and the flowering cherry blossom trees. A golden Buddha, eight feet tall, stood looking down on the festivities, while Queen Suzie Larson and King Bill Putz reigned from their throne. The six sophomore couples acting as servers were all attired in kimonos; they added the finishing touch to the Seniors’ oriental dream. 20 Intoxicating music helped many fall under the oriental spell. New Royalty on Oriental Evening Taking a rest to gain a few calories were Karen Jako- vac, Richard Koby, Diane Lazich and Bill Andersen. When the moment finally arrived, the king and queen gracefully swirled across the gym floor. Kimono clad servers were, KNEELING: Darlene Har- low, Pam Morrison, Glenna Herron, Jana Lee Nichols, Kathy Catlow, Nancy Lahmers; STANDING: Mike Kelley, Tim Nelson, A1 Schmidt, Roger Johndon, How- ard Gearhart, Rick Shearer. Darlene Harlow, Glenna Herron, and A1 Schmidt under the direction of Mike Kelley made sure the lime punch would meet with junior and senior approval. 21 ACADEMICS Our world within a world lives and learns and grows as we pattern our lives in accordance with the changing times. Striving for the best in our world, we now find lessons harder, homework rougher, and teachers tougher. We sud- denly discover that things which had not been given a second thought are becoming an important part of our lives. Record hops and dances do not govern our lives anymore, as we store up knowledge for the post school years. Math Students Tangle with Angles Mary Cheney, Jerome Croell, and Willard Ashley study a theorem in geometry. From the first grade through high school gradu- ation, math plays an important role in the cur- riculum; not only because it is necessary in order to study other related subjects, but because it is practically impossible to live without some kind of math. It would be hard to imagine anyone studying physics without geometry and algebra. At. M.H.S. four courses of math are offered. Algebra acquaints the student with the general principles of solving equations containing un- knowns. Congruent triangles, adjacent sides, and corre- sponding angles are terms familiar to all geometry students. Advanced algebra introduces equations with two and three unknowns, inequalities, and proportions. Trigonometry, which is a senior elective, is the study of right triangles. Knowledge Stored for Future Tears As the President and his cabinet searched for solutions to world problems and Congress debated new legislation, students in Social Studies classes at M.H.S. prepared to meet future world problems. World Geography classes charted the locations of various world “trouble spots. I hey also learned more about the topography, climate, and races of the different countries of the world. Classes in World History studied civilization from its earliest beginnings to recent developments in the United States. U.S. History classes delved further into the de- velopment of our country. They expounded upon such matters as the factors contributing to the birth of our Constitution. While Government classes studied the intrica- cies of a democracy, Economics students reviewed the fundamentals of the free-enterprise system. By studying the globe Kathy Kucan and Dennis Eaton understand better the “trouble spots” of the world in World Geography. Mr. Armontrout is right there to answer Judy Tancos, Lorrain Vlasic, and Mike Yaros different questions on the free-enterprise system. Colored pictures of Egyptian relics make World History much more interesting for Mr. Demaree’s students. 25 An understanding of other peoples, their his- tories, customs, and languages will better prepare youth to meet the challenges of our expanding world. Insights into other countries are provided at M.H.S. by three foreign languages. Four years of Latin are offered at Merrillville. This course gives students a broad background in the English language and in ancient history. For the first time at Merrillville, four years of Spanish were offered to students. Included in this course is a study of the Spanish-speaking countries. German is a language ever increasing in popular- ity in the European countries. Besides receiving a background in the German language, the students also studied Germany today. Beverly Church, Barbara Morton, and Bob Boyd study important historical events in Latin. Languages Expanded Our World Fred Maihofer, Carol Heiny, and A1 Schmidt study their Spanish lesson. Mike Achermann learns basic words in German. 26 In order to move forward in a progressive world, one must be able to communicate effectively with his fellow man. For this reason, English is impor- tant to all of us. In preparation for college, English acquires add- ed importance. English grammar and literature give students a glimpse into a few of the many facets of our lan- guage. Journalism puts into practice the various arts, such as composition and grammar, learned in the English classes. Speech is the art of oral communication. It is an asset to an individual in any profession. Paul Keaton, Janice Burke, Larry Schiefer, and Debbie Braatz take part in a round table discussion in speech. Facets of English Explored Mrs. Lynch checks a theme for Cheryl Campbell in Col- lege Prep English while Grendel smiles on. Tom Nelson, Pat Maywald, for the year. editor of the annual, Lynn Mellinger and co-editors of the MIRROR, discuss plans 27 Students’ Business World Begins To prepare students to step out into the world as the businessmen and women of tomorrow is the purpose of the Business Department. A wide variety of courses are offered to M.H.S. pupils. General business offers a broad view of the mod- em business world for sophomores. Shorthand and typing courses are useful, not only to students preparing for jobs in business, but also to college prep students. Seniors are instructed in the art of balancing books in bookkeeping. Other senior business courses are office practice, general clerical, and office ma- chines. These courses familiarize one with the pro- cedures encountered in an office. Pat Cannon and Janice Brown are practicing brief forms in shorthand. Future Homemakers Overcome Automation In these years of automation a housewife must have special skills to compete with a machine. In addition to the usual sewing, Home Econom- ics girls learn the basic steps for the care of new modern fibers and finishes. They also learn new techniques to decrease time and effort in sewing. For bonus cooking skills to surprise guests and beaus future homemakers learn the arts of decorat- ing a cake and how to glamorize a table with wood fiber centerpieces. Junior and senior years are preparatory years for marriage. Modern living, taken during the junior year, discusses problems of dating, engagement, and religion. In the final year child care and home nursing combine with housing to serve as good par- enthood preparation. Linda Banton learns better sewing techniques from Linda Bewick’s helpful advice. ◄ Second year home economics students Julie Semokaitis and Marsha Leathers learn basic skills through appli- cation. 29 Physical Fitness Ranks High After a year’s suspension of freshman physical education at the high school, fulltime gym classes were resumed. Mrs. Wilkerson, a new member of the teaching staff, not only introduced exercising to music, but also taught many dance forms new to the students. The girls engaged in various team contests (vol- leyball, soccer, basketball), duel games (badminton, tennis, ping-pong), and individual sports (golf, bowling, archery). As usual, the boys were put through rigorous calisthenics in preparation for relay races, bas- ketball, football, baseball, track, wrestling, and golf. The boys in gym class keep in shape with push ups. Pat Freeman, Sue Ann Christopher, Marilyn Raduenz and Judy Kuchar practice modern dancing techniques in gym class. Cathy Yuraitis and Virginia Nichols practice reducing methods in gym class. 30 Science for a Changing World Day by day our world becomes more and more complicated. In order to take his place in this world of today, a student must have some knowl- edge of science. M.H.S. offers four courses in this field. In General Science students learn basic founda- tions of science. They then must apply these facts to everyday life. In Biology class students study life and the life function of both plants and animals. Atomic number, protons, and catalysts are terms familiar to all Chemistry students. Among the subjects studied in Chemistry are chemical reac- tions, compounds, and elements. Physics is a science which deals with matter and energy along with physical changes in matter. Students learn Newton’s laws and how to apply them in problem solving situations. Studying the basic functions of white mice is just one phase of Biology II for Kathy Catlow, Wilma Joslyn, and David Henke. Karen Jacovak follows the exact measurements neces- sary to complete an experiment in Chemistry. Ruth Wickberg shows that the static electricity given off by a Vanode Graff generator is not dangerous if handled right. 31 The 1963-64 school year was a year of “firsts” for the M.H.S. Music Department. New uniforms were purchased for the Marching Pirates. After seeing the band through 1 1 success- ful years, the old uniforms were replaced. The Dance Band, consisting of 16 members, add- ed to its itinerary ' and increased its popularity. The Senior Concert Choir and the Girls’ Glee Club made up the main core of the Vocal De- partment. The Vocalteen Ensemble consisted of seven girls and seven boys. They gave about 35 performances this year. Nine junior girls formed the popular Velveteen group. With the widespread popularity of folk singing, a new group of folksingers was added to the other vocal groups. This group consisted of seven senior girls. Showing off band uniforms just received this year are Bob Kiburz, Kay Semokaitis, Gail Luttinen and Judy Tancos. Music Is Appreciated in Our World Mr. Reinhart takes the choir through a warmup drill. 32 Artistic Ability Is Developed M.H.S. students enrolled in art classes have the opportunity to express themselves through their work. Mrs. Lewis, the new art teacher, introduced many new and interesting projects this year. Modeling clay and creating objects from card- board boxes and bottles were pet projects of the Art I class. Art II pupils engaged in experiments with color change and design. Favorite projects of the girls in Art III and IV classes were the making of mannequins and design- ing of miniature dresses to go on them. Plaster carving and abstract painting interested boys who chose to take Art III and IV courses this year. Phil Wencl and Mike Yugo take the first step in wood carving. Around the table sit Sue Zimmer, Vita Sallas, Cathy Mellinger, Dave Cadwell, and Warren Woldt. They take special care in carving plaster figures. 33 Opportunities in Industrial Arts Industrial Arts courses are some of the most use- ful courses offered at M.H.S. Students planning to be architects should enroll in drafting. This gives them an education in ma- chine drafting as well as architectural drafting. A beginning electronics course is offered in elec- trical shop. In wood shop, one is able to construct many types of furniture. Metal shop deals with arc welding and working with different types of metals. Sometime in the near future, this will be offered as a vocational course. In auto mechanics, the students are acquainted with various types of auto parts. Danny Cekarmis checks a detailed blueprint in archi- tectural drafting. £ Curtis Burrow and Don Asbridge study a metal lathe in ▼ machine shop. Pat Laws shows the proper way to guide wood through a power saw in wood shop. 34 Driving with caution and observing traffic laws and signals are of prime importance to students in Mr. Engelhart’s driver training classes. Students are educated in such arts as parallel parking and changing flat tires. Six weeks of the course are spent in classroom preparation for six more weeks of actual diiving experience. Bob Ashley and Dirk Witter get safe driver training. Driver’s Draining Creates Caution -i Konrad Lambrecht and Bob Lathrup work on a car in auto shop. Mike Matusak and Gary Masak even a piece of metal in metal shop. A THLETICS Ours is a varied world of work, play, joy, and sorrow. No one knows this better than an athlete. He must learn and grow from past ex- periences and must give everything he has to the team while expecting nothing in re- turn. We are continually proud of our athletes in our growing years.

The Pirates, under the direction of Head Coach Mr. Demaree and assistant coaches Mr. Armon- trout and Mr. Patz compiled a record of 3 wins, 4 losses, and one tie for 1963. Mr. Demaree com- mented that the team did their best to give the fans a fast moving and exciting performance at each game. The first game, played at Crown Point before 3500 persons was won 12 — 0 by the host team to the great disappointment of Pirate fans. Griffith, the next opponent sneaked off with a 14 to 12 win in the last seconds as the gun went off. Pirate spirits soared when a blocked kick prevented pos- sible scoring in the tie game with Portage. The next opponent Lowell came up with a 33 to 0 win over the Pirates for the first loss on the new ath- letic field. M.H.S. fortunes rebounded with a 20 — 13 win over a favored Highland team. The sixth game, Homecoming, was a disappointment, and yet against the Calumet Warriors, the team that was to win the conference crown, Merrillville Pirates put on a terrific show before losing 14 to 12. In a happier moment the seventh and eighth games were a source of joy for the student body and faculty alike with wins over Edison 21 — 6 and Dyer 46 — 7. In the final standings M.H.S. was 4th in the Southern Division of the Calumet Con- ference. Later the Pirates captured 9th place in the Calumet Conference by winning over the Troopers of Wirt 13 — 7. This was the first year for play-offs between the two divisions of the Calumet Conference. This play-off determined the wearer of the conference crown. 38 Coach Demaree plans the team strategy.

They left a record of 4 wins, 2 losses, and 2 ties. This record was 75% better than last year’s, which definitely shows the work and achievement of the team. All of the boys playing on the reserves were sophomores, and many of them are surely going to be varsity material next year, according to Coach Kaiser. In the first game of the season, the Pirates man- aged to win over Crown Point by a small margin of one touchdown. The second game with Griffith was also won, by a one point lead, leaving the Panthers behind as the clock ran out. A duel between Portage and Merrillville in the third meet proved exciting as the Pirates took their third win. The reserves then continued, win- ning their fourth game and leaving Lowell score- less at the end of the last quarter. The fifth game brought about their first loss, against Highland. Dyer seemed to be equally as strong as the Pirates in the sixth contest leaving the score standing at a tie. The second and last loss of the season was encountered as Calumet and Merrillville net, in the seventh game. The eighth game with Gary Edison ended in a tie as the reserves finished their fine season. FOOTBALL RESERVES — (FRONT ROW) Mr. Kai- ser, D. Ashley, A. Pierce, P. Kazich, D. Nemeth, J.

In the quadrangular meet with Portage, Lowell, and Wirt, the “hill and dalers” led by Captain Clay Ekai- tis presented the student body with their first victory. This was followed by a series of defeats; however, lead- ing up to the last dual meet of the season with River Forest. The victor) ' flag was raised once again for the Pirates as they wound up the season with a total of 4 wins and 5 losses. The 1964 season looks very promising says Coach Ahlbrand, with the return of our fastest Harriers and the very impressive group of underclassmen replacing the boys lost through graduation.

Due to the tactical coaching of Bill Metcalf, the team received their well-earned 4th place position in the Calumet Conference. Out of a total of 1 1 conference games, the Buccs captured 8, placing 4th in the prep standing. The 8 additional games showed a 13 win, 6 loss overall record. Hammond Tech opened the season by stealing the first game with a score of 74—71. Highland tried next and managed to stop the Pira te tide by 16 points creating the first conference loss. The following five games were a give-take-series with the Buccs winning every other one. River Forest bowed out first, giving the roundballers their first win of the season. The second conference game with Gary Edison proved fatal as the Pirate squad was defeated by a final score of 72 56. The third meet in this give-receive series was the Pirates turn to take and take they did— leaving the Panthers of Griffith behind by 20 points. In the Lake Country Tournament the Buccs were turned back by the War- riors of Calumet, lacking only one point to tie in a triple overtime. Portage ended the series, defeated with a score of 7 j 73, putting the Pirates in the winning groove. Boosting the morale of the Pirate fans, the starring five took the next three games with North Judson, Chester- ton, and Lowell. Crown Point put another defeat on the records in the seventh confer- ence game, but the Pirates turned around to beat the Eagles of East Gary with a score of 84—63 to win their sixth victory. Hobart followed the same pattern and was consequently defeated putting the seventh overall win on the books. The Norsemen of Emerson captured the next game by a meager margin of one point, leaving only 5 more sessions to be played. The defeat of the Dyer and Knox followed up to the big upset when the Pirates shook the Calumet Warriors with a gap of ten points, spoil- ing the Warriors chance to have a perfect conference season. The sec- tional at East Chicago Washington ended an eventful season. With a springy jump, Mike Halsted warms up for a conference game. Backing the team at every game, Ed Mason and Wade Jensen, student managers, take a special interest in Buccaneer action. Pirate Pivot-Men Finish Third Reserve Basketball — (FRONT ROW) J. Rudd, P.

Under the able guidance of Coach Ahlbrand, the Pirate Reserves finished their 1963-64 season honorably. Running and shooting through a rugged twenty game schedule, the Merrillville Pirates won 1 2 contests, 8 of them over Calumet Conference foes. The Pirates battled to a second place Crown Point Tourney finish thanks to high-scoring center Bill Schmidt, and twin sopho- mores, Don and Ron Swanson. The squad looked good in almost every department. Bill Schmidt led the Pirates as far as field goals and accuracy was concerned with a .468 percentage. Schmidt amassed a total of 284 points during the trying 20 game season, for an average of 18.3 points per game. Score Box M.H.S.

The Merrillville Pirates finished the current wres- tling season with five wins and eight losses. The Pirate grapplers were able to overcome a seem- ingly unfair disadvantage. They forfeited every match in the ninety-five pound class since there were no wrestlers in that class. Merrillville placed third in the Calumet Conference tournament held at Gary Edison, putting on a fine showing by holding their own in a field of 12 teams. The three wrestlers who topped the list for total points accumulation were Greg Johnston 45, Dennis Eaton 44, and Yoo Kim 41. Tangling for a take down, L. Porras tackles an Andrean player. 51 Experienced Ball Players VARSITY BASEBALL — ( FRONT ROW) W. Kissing- er, Y. Kim, R. Shepitka, J. Tuminello, N. Bikoff. (SEC- OND ROW) F. Kolarich, E. Schmidt, J. Bonick, R. Lav- ery, R. Kiburz, E. Masson. (THIRD ROW) J. Whetsel, M. Halstead, J. Lions, A. Schmidt, D. Djukie, L. Hecker. The Merrillville Pirates participated in a total of twenty conference games last season. The Pirates played fine ball, and it showed up in the seasonal statistics. The records showed a total of 12 Pirate victories and only 8 losses. Merrillville then went on to the conference playoffs and tied Calumet for first place. Some of the players that deserve special recog- nition are George Gilrowski who topped the list of batting averages with a .424. Bob Gay and John Hollman hit 3 home runs apiece to take top hon- ors in that field. These boys graduated last year. However the experience gained by players like John Whetsel, Tom Steiner, and last year’s pitch- ers, Bob Kiburz and Rick Schmidt, will prove in- valuable to this year’s team. The fighting Pirate battery, John Bonick, John Whetsel, and Rick Schmidt take all comers. 52 Bat Best Tet Mike Halsted goes through the motions at batting practice. “Got it” yells Norman Bikoff as an- other ball drops into place. Tom Steiner practices a relaxed batting stance. Short stop Bob Lavery reaches out to grab and secure another Pirate win. 53 The Pirate’s 1964 Track Team looks forward to a fine season. Wayne Monroe grabs the baton from Ron Clark in the sprint relay hand-off. The 1963 track squad coached by John Stefek and assistant coach James Dinsmore came out about even this year with a record of two wins and three losses. M.H.S. proved to be a middle of the road team in 1963. In the 12 team confer- ence they placed sixth. In the Calumet Conference Division I, M.H.S. was a resounding third! The coaches saw the varsity letter given to 14 boys. Of the 14 Ken Luedtke was top man on the M.H.S. team because of his ability to bring blue ribbons home to M.H.S. The coaches are diligently looking over the un- derclassmen to find 1964 replacements for the five senior team members. Co-Captains for 1964 are Robert Hayes and Ken Luedtke. 54 Track Lettermen: (FRONT ROW) Jerry Knaga, Wayne Monroe, Mike Kelley, Gail Luttin- en, Mike Williams, Jim Castaldi.

Dave Stockier, Clay Ekaitis, Jerry Fox, and Jim Aeshl- man prepare for the 2-mile relay. Howard Gearhart, Jim Castaldi, A1 Bodak, Ron Clark, and Mike Kelley comprise Merrill- ville’s shuttle hurdle relay team. 56 Golfers Take Top Honors Merrillville turfman, Jim Dobis, is a picture of nonchalance as he con- templates his opponents next swing. Jerry Gaede is a smiling example of the well known Pirate sportsmanship. Eager to be on the green, Dirk Witter holds his club in a familiar golfer’s stance. The Merrillville golf team, under Coach Hutchi- son, compiled a record of 20 victories and 4 losses during the 1963 season. Only one of these four losses occured in a Conference match. Led by captain Jim Dobis, with an average of 39.4 strokes per nine hole round, and Jerry Gaede, with a 43.3 average, the Merrillville Linksmen made a commendable showing in the always-tough Indi- ana Sectionals. They placed fourth out of twenty participating teams. Although they lost to Highland, they won first in the Conference by defeating Dyer. Jim Kaurich starts his swing as he demonstrates how he would launch a ball down the green. Joe Driscoll, a member of the Purple longstick unit, positions for a practice swing. Mr. Hutchison, the golf coach, shows the 3 major clubs used in golfing. 57 A CTIVITIES In these years of growth we take an ac- tive part in clubs — learning as followers, as well as learning as leaders. We know our horizons will expand as we gain knowledge through participation in the interest groups of our choice. In the changing times we now place a greater emphasis on the well-rounded per- son. It is through clubs that we enlarge and enrich our personalities in these ex- panding years. Band Sets Tempo The Merrillville High School Concert Band in dress revue. Under the leadership of director Mr. Meltzer, the Merrillville High School band achieved a very suc- cessful season of accomplishments. The word “band” applied to many groups this year, the Marching Pirates led by drum major Gail Luttinen ; the pep band at pep assemblies and games; the popular dance band; and the incompar- able concert band. Band members’ talents were on review several times through out the year in the homecoming half-time show, the Christmas concert, the winter concert, the solo and ensemble contests, the spring concert, and in the graduation ceremony. With the help of band students, the Band Boosters were able to contribute a good portion of the cost for the bands’ brilliant new uniforms. Their fund- raising projects included a smorgasbord, a calendar drive, and a chili supper. Band pins were awarded to senior band members as well as gift certificates and the most valuable senior band member was chosen. The busy year was culminated at the annual spring banquet where students and parents showed their appreciation to their “Daddy Chief,” Mr. Meltzer! 60 For School Spirit Daddy-Chief enjoys doodling. 61 Choral Department Concert Choir, arrayed in beautiful new metallic gray robes, was the highlight of each per- formance.

Enchanting carols were sung by the Senior choir. Girls’ Glee Club and Soph- omore Girls’ Glee Club while modern dances and the voices of the Merrillettes Vocalteens and Vel- veteens added a variety of Christmas spirits. The Vocalteens, Velveteens, and Merrillettes are the most active and traveled performers of the choral department. This year they entertained at banquets, Velveteens — (Left to Right) Nancy Lahmers, Virginia Nichols, Lynda Bewick, Twila Burke, Barbara Sullivan, Nancy Northrup, Carol Bookwalter, Pat Cannon, Sue Hayes. private parties, conventions, concerts and contests. Members of the choirs participated in the district solo and ensemble contest at Lew Wallace High School. Those receiving first place competed at But- ler University, in Indianapolis. The combined chorus raised their voices for the final concert of the year, the Spring Concert, con- cluding a successful year of entertaining and hard work. Senior Belles rang out! Juniors Join Talents This year, the Junior class presented the play “George Washington Slept Here.” It was the story of the Fullers, a typical family of three. In the course of the play, Mr. Fuller purchases a broken-down shack which he believes has a fine history. The Fullers manage to fix up the home and be- gin inviting guests. One of these guests is their rich uncle from Pittsburg. The rich uncle arrives, and the Fullers begin their play for the largest inheritance. When the news comes that the house is going to be repossessed, the story unfolds to show how the rich uncle has been swindling his nephews for years and how he can swindle the bank out of the note. The play, under the able direction of Mrs. Lynch, was seen by over 900 people and was con- sidered a huge success by the Junior class. “Let’s restore this place to its original condition,” Phyllis shouts as the cast happily gets in a destructive mood.

Following the established tra- dition, the upper classmen selected a drama for their final theatrical production. The play, staged in February, was directed and produced by Mr. Morrow and Mrs. Lynch. The outstanding portrayal of characters achieved by the senior actors and actresses made the presenta- tion as successful at Merrillville at it was on Broad- way. The plot unveiled a dignified, aristocratic woman living quietly in her London residence who was gradually being subjugated by a family of dia- bolically clever crooks. Through ingenious plot- ting, the schemers tried to convince Miss Herries that she was hopelessly insane. Until the final lines, the empathy created by the players made it seem to the audience as though the “kind lady” was doomed to lose not only her property but also her sanity. With triumphant effort, however, she managed to convey word to the outside world of her true situation in the closing climactic scenes. The cast of “Kind Lady” takes out time from their hurried schedule to pose for a picture.

As the Vestal Virgins of old Rome kept the living flame of the city burning, so the Latin Club members kept their interest in and knowledge of the classical languages alive. With the addition of forty-five new members, who were initiated in a special induction ceremony held in December, the club’s membership rose to a total of ninety-one students. This year Latin students sponsored through do- nations a Korean orphan. The Latin classes ben- efited from the record player which the club pur- chased, and advanced Latin students visited a Chi- cago exhibit related to their field. The main event of the year was the annual spring banquet when members came dressed as senators, patricians, and slaves according to the number of years they have been in the club. New members as slaves were auctioned off to the re- clining and feasting Romans by candlelight with the proceeds going in to the club’s scholarship fund. The scholarships may be awarded to two mem- bers of the club who plan to teach Latin and who have had advanced courses in the subject. Latin Club offers many opportunities for the interested student to increase background knowledge. 68 Spanish Club Increases Membership Spanish Club — (FRONT ROW) N. Shoshoo, K. Yuraitis, L.

In fact the mem- bership of over 100 students is one of the largest in school history. With this large membership the Spanish Club undertook various activities. Among these were a trip to Chicago, a Christmas party, the annual Spanish banquet, and the homecom- ing float which won 3rd place. In addition to this a guest speaker was planned for each meeting. These speeches made the ordinary meetings a re- freshing change from last year’s meetings. Some of the speeches concerned Spanish customs as Joe Fernandez’ s talk on his trip to Spain; others were about different places such as Rosemary Chum- bler’s talk on England. Each speech added spice to the usual routine of meetings. German Club Enjoys Active Tear Continuing in its fourth year at the German Club got off to a fresh start under the new sponsorship of Mr. Markle. With a basic foundation of at least one year of German required for membership, each new mem- ber can better understand and promote the Ger- man language and customs. A trip to Chicago to see a German movie and dining at a German restaurant highlighted the club’s social activities. German food and skits were presented at the annual banquet in the spring.

Each member was a junior or senior enrolled in either a chemi stry or physics class who had maintained at least a “C” average throughout the year. Sopho- mores were admitted only by special permission from Mr. Vermillion, the club sponsor. Each year the main goal of the club is to fire a rocket successfully. Since the major activity of the club was centered on the plans for this rocket, the club applied for a charter to join the Amateur Rocketeers of Amer- ica. Other activities of the junior scientists were a field trip to Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illi- nois, and being represented in the Homecoming Parade with a decorated car.

The club co-sponsored the annual Fine Arts Program which combined the efforts of the speech, art, and music department. As a fund-raising proj- ect, the members held a sock-hop. A person who desires admittance to the club and has had one year of speech is eli gible for membership when he submits his name to the sponsor, Mr. Morrow.

The club was formed to further the students’ in- terests in mathematical oddities for which there is no time in the regular classes. To become a member of the club, a student must be majoring in mathematics, submit an ac- ceptable essay on why he wishes to join the club, and maintain a “C” average in math. The early part of the school year was spent or- ganizing the club and working on the Homecom- ing float. Later various mathematical programs were presented at each meeting. Officers for the newly formed Math Club are: Jerry Roessing, treasurer; Rick Kallenbach, president; Janet Webster, secretary ; John Spitz, vice-president. MAJORING MATHEMATICIANS — (FRONT ROW) J.

At the close of the formal tapping ceremony, all of the members were told to read and learn as much as possible; to continue to set good examples in scholarship, leadership, and outstanding char- acter; and not to neglect their responsibility to serve others. A grade average of 3.25 must be maintained by the 5% of the sophomore class, 10% of the junior class, and 15% of the senior class who are mem- bers of the National Honor Society. This year, for the first time, the Society built a homecoming float, using the N.H.S. torch to sym- bolize the light of knowledge and victory. The members also participated in Awards Day, fund- raising projects, and their tutoring services. National Honor Society: (FRONT ROW) Y. Patellis, H. Linkhart, G. Kwolek, S. Haynes, L. Bishop, M.

The Student Council sponsored a large portion of the social activities of the year such as the Orientation Day for students new to the homecoming festivities, taffy apple sales, Christ- mas decorations, the intra-mural program, “spe- cial” days, the scholarship campaign, the Senior Breakfast, and the Student Council elections. These student leaders also purchased the first M.H.S. flag for the school. Of the many affairs in which the members par- ticipated, attending the State Convention and the N.A.S.C. workshop are but two. President Ka- paka Semokaitis conducted pep assemblies in the gym and on the new field. The members also co- operated in all student elections, and assisted in organizing new clubs. In order to have been a candidate in the spring elections, a student must have a “C” average or better and a petition signed by ten classmates. Class presidents and S.C. alternates were consid- ered members of this organization and were re- quired to attend all meetings. V 1 j J JIS3 1 , Hr � m Student Council — (FRONT ROW) Mr. Bovard, S.

Cheers Bolster Our “Thunder, Thunder, Thunderation.” These words are among the best known at Merrillville High School, especially to the Pep Club. Many hours of organization and practice along with the coaching by the club’s new sponsor, Mrs. Wilker- son were necessary for the flash cards at the Christmas tourneys and the spontaneous cheering at Friday and Saturday night games. Sweatshirts we re again chosen by the club for their money making project, but this year black sweatshirts with white lettering were selected and successfully sold by cheerleaders. Pirates fans watch intensely the first homecoming game on new field. Backing up the yell leaders at the games and pep sessions were the pep club girls. 76 School and Team Spirit Attention is focused on the game. The Sophomore cheerleaders, Kathy Yuraitis, Peggy Moore, Betty Lou Klausman, and Nancy Ford, cheer re- serves on to victory. The sign of victory was a familiar routine for the Var- sity cheerleaders, Janet Hacker, Janalee Nichols, Val Dominaus, and S u z y Deaton. 77 Lettermen Highlight Sports Events The most important activity of the Lettermen’s Club was the annual Athletic Ball, one of the fi- nest events of the school year. This year the letter- men also sold candy bars to raise money for acces- sories for the camera used at the games. To gain admittance to the organization one must have earned two major letters in sports; however, if a senior has one varsity letter and is going to earn another during his senior year, he is permitted to join.

Activities of the Girls’ Athletic Association were carried out with a wide variety of sports and tournaments. Girls’ in this club have a chance to participate in bowling, skating, volleyball, soft- ball, and kickball. These sports help the players towards good sportsmanship and co-operation with others their own age. The annual initiation of new members high- lighted the beginning of the club’s activities. Mrs. Wilkerson. the new sponsor of the G.A.A. , and Di- ane Zimny, the president, gave the club good lead- ership and added new vigor to bake sales, the only money making project of the girls. Christmas car- oling and attending the Ice Follies in Chicago were this year’s treats attended by all G.A.A. mem- bers. The club concluded its yearly activities at the annual awards banquet. Members were awarded pins and letters for their many hours of participa- tion in sports activities throughout the year. Girls join G.A.A. to learn good sportsmanship and co-operation while participating in games. 79 ■ Homemakers Maintain Honor Chapter Leaders of Future Homemakers Honor Chapter are: E. Kwasny, president; H. Niksich, treasurer; L. Vlasic, song leader; Donna Fisher, vice-president; C. Miller, secretary; J. Gaines, Parlamentarian; B. Rhodes, his- torian. The solemn candlelight initiation ceremony was the first major event of the year for the Future Homemakers .of America. Sl ides of Mexico and South America were shown to mothers and faculty wives before homemade refreshments were served by the members. Other activities of the year were the fall and spring district meetings that could be attended by all members, and the state convention at the I.U. campus in June which was attended by four dele- gates. To maintain their high standing as an honor chapter, the members must keep the club contin- ually active. This year the members collected food and toys at Christmas to be distributed to needy families, treated the faculty to breakfast in April during F.H.A. week, and sponsored the Sweet- heart Dance in February. Along with other district chapters the club for the second year assisted in the support of seven orphans. At the end of the year, a Spring Tea was held to give awards to deserving members. F.H.A. pins are given only to those members whom the sponsors, Mrs. Seale and Mrs. Kirtland, feel deserve them. Gold thimbles are awarded to the outstanding sen- ior girls.

During the school open house, a night provided to bring teachers and par- ents closer together, the F.T.A. furnished usher- ettes and information for the parents. Another helpful gesture was the annual presentation of ap- ples to each teacher on Valentine’s Day. Since the purpose of the F.T.A. is to acquaint the students with the teaching profession, one day in April each year is set aside to observe an ele- mentary or junior high class. Other activities of the F.T.A. included attending the state conven- tion at Indianapolis and giving a Christmas party for the special education class. F.T.A. Officers are; Rosemary Sedita, president; Janet Hacker, treasurer; Janet Webster, vice-president; Susie Deaton, secretary. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA (FRONT ROW) K. Koehler, L. Todd, M. Cheney, J.

The cast of the 1920 caper included nine male and seven female parts, giving an unusually large number of students a chance to get into the act. Members of the “behind the scenes” detail found many hilarious hours of confusion trying to learn the ropes of “show biz.” The numerous auditions for the class play showed a surprising amount of student talent and haming which Mr. Morrow was able to select the students best suited to each role. Now with this first dra- matic experience to their names, the underclassmen eagerly anticipate another successful play next year as juniors. 83 Audio-Visual Aids Activities The Audio-Visual Club is a school service or- ganization designed to help the members become better acquainted with audio-visual equipment.

Emerging from the sheltered world of high school ready to expand their horizons, the seniors take one final backward glance at their high school career. As unsure freshmen they bought elevator passes, locker insurance and at times were seen on their knees ungallantly pushing peanuts down the hall. And yet, somehow, by the end of the first semester they had been able to convince the upperclassmen that they were here to stay. A year older and more confident they returned, determined to make their presence felt in school. They took hard courses wondering if it was worth it as they struggled through Julius Caesar, geome- try, and world history. For them an armload of books and the 3:40 bell did not mean quiting time as they scurried off to club and committee meetings. Their hope for atten- tion was assured since they were the first class to re- ceive their rings at the beginning of their junior year. Starting off their junior year they received “hon- orable mention” for their wiggly entry for Home- coming. Their activities increased as they forged ahead in November to produce “Mrs. McThing,” a record breaking junior play. As the year was drawing to a close, they frantically tried to find the time to add all the finishing touches to their prom, “Oriental Enchantment.” On that exciting evening in May they watched with laugh- ter at Dick Gregory’s long to be remembered post prom antics. They returned for their last and most remem- bered year on a more somber tone knowing that this was the only year left. Struggling throuh the PSAT and SAT they hoped fervently that somewhere in their eleven years of schooling a little knowledge had been acquired. At last after 12 years of crossed fingers and tense prayers, commencement had finally arrived. March- ing down the aisle, 234 of them said their last good- by to these sheltered and symbolic walls as they closed another chapter in their growing lives. 100 Movable receiver provided the animation which gave the Seniors Honorable Mention for their originality.

Pres. ; Daria Olsen, Treas. ; Janet Hacker, Sec.; Sandy Wraight, President. The big day was finally here as the Juniors received their long awaited rings. As the Juniors discarded their roles of underclass- men, they became the largest Junior class ever at M.H.S. The first noticeable sign of their new status was the sapphire blue class rings delivered on Septem- ber 17. Blue rings flashed as they busily prepared their first place homecoming float “Drive ’Em Buggy.” It was a multicolored caterpillar with a Pirate astride, driving on to victory. Demonstrating their growing maturity, they started planning for their prom, “Whispering Sands,” early in the year with several bake sales and a car wash. Also helping to contribute to the ever increasing prom fund was their three act class play “George Washington Slept Here” given in November. Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Davis were proud class spon- sors when all four varsity cheerleaders were selected from the Junior class. 117 C. Ackerman M. Ackerman M. Adair M. Anderson D. Asbridge B. Ashley C.

Being the first class to descend on M.H.S. at the beginning of their sophomore year, the class of ' 66 was able to make a more dignified entrance since there was no initiation. With clear heads and the capable assistance of class sponsors, Mrs. Jefferies and Mr. Demaree, the sophomores were able to produce their first artistic attempt at a homecoming float. To secure the needed balance in the class coff- fers, a spring car wash, bake sales, and taffy apple sales were sponsored. The outstanding class play, produced in April also brought added funds for future expenses into the treasury. In May, the great decision was made on a ring setting and stone and the class rings were ordered. This event proved that the sophomores had be- come firmly established in the high school world. P. Appleton and S. Catasian go along for the ride on the class Homecoming float as R. Magdos guards the defeated Calumet player. 125 H. Alexander E. Allen G. Appathy V. Apolzan P. Appleton D. Ashley W.
