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
