From Rest and Sleep, which but thy picture be, Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow And soonest our best men with thee do go— Rest of their bones and souls delivery! Thou’rt slave to Fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell; And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well And better than thy stroke. Why swell’st thou then One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And Death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die! Peggy Gorrell Patricia Bowen Patty and Peggy have left us before they could experience the true sorrows and joys of life. But we in the class of 1965 will always remember them in our minds, and their spirits and smiling faces will linger always in our hearts. The Calm — 4 Before the Storm Merrillville is the red and gold of autumn — The nip of crisp air; the shout of boys warming up for football. It is the enthusiasm of rising early for the bustle of school — rising reluctantly. The Pace Increases in TEMPO Until It Heightens To RONDO MHS is the thrill of school spirit as our team enters the playing field The happy cries of the queen as she is crowned It’s a Saturday night at the drive-in and forgetting to do your homework. A C T I V I T I E S Learning to schedule our time in order to par- ticipate in everything we choose is often a hard task. The daily grind of- ten is the most difficult to organize one’s activi- ties around. It is hard to remember that without the dull rut none of us could exist. Here are as- sorted bits and pieces of the interest of the M.H.S. student. Class of ’66 Has Biggest Hit of’63-’64 1st ROW L to R — N. Ford, J. Mote, D. Cadwell. 2nd ROW — B. Myer, J. Se- mokaitis, L. Titak. 3rd ROW — P. Keaton, S. Jones, J. Hadsall, J. Tournis, D. Kel- lenburger. 4th ROW — M. Wickmanowski, T. Robin- son, C. Mellinger, W. Carl- son. L to R — Mr. Morrow, Director; Jane Seale, Business Manager ; G. Deible, Stage Manager ; S. Patterson, Stu- dent Director. The Class of ’66’s sophomore class play, Cheaper By The Dozen, was produced under the direction of Mr. Morrow and student director Sherry Patterson. Per- formances were given on April 23, 24, and 25 in the high school auditorium. Best actor, best supporting actress, and best character actress Thespian awards were won by Bill Myer, Janice Burke, and Cathy Mellinger respectfully. The comedy concerning the Gilbrath family proved quite rewarding for the class’s first effort in the performing arts. L. to R. — J. Hadsall, J. Se- mokaitis, P. Keaton, S. Jones, B. Myer. And Add One More in ’64-’65 The cast of the junior class play, See How They Run, look up with great expecta- tions for a smooth perform- ance on opening night. The cast is as follows: (BOTTOM ROW) J. Kurth, B. Johnson, P. Appleton, C. Mellinger, (SECOND ROW) T. Rob- inson, D. Teitge, J. Mote, W. Carlson, B. Myer. The junior class this year presented See How They Run on November 19,20,21 in the M.H.S. auditorium. The play was a three act farce that was so swift in action, so involved, and so rib-tickling that it left the audience exhausted from laughter. The Juniors worked diligently under Mr. Morrow’s direction, and their reward was a completely successful play. The people who work be- hind the scenes for a class play are vital and spend many hours of hard work to make the play a success. Shown above are: M. Dju- kic, curtain; Mr. Morrow, director; S. Jones, student director; D. Burt, lights; and D. Czarnecki, sound ef- fects. I am looking Toop, I am! Seniors Present First Musical Comedy Looking over the script for the Senior Musical are Tom Novotny, Technical Director; Mr. Reinhart, Musical Director; Tim Nelson, Stage Manager; Mrs. Lynch, Di- rector; Molly Marcancek, Student Director; Jim Nel- son, Stage Manager; and Carol Miller, Business Man- ager. Mr. MacAfee, Brian Lunsford, contemplates, “What’s the matter with kids today?” as Mrs. MacAfee, Judy Kuchar, ' and Kim, Susy Hayes, admire Conrad Birdie, Rick Shearer. Bye Bye Birdie, a musical comedy, was presented by the Senior class. The presen- tation was a fresh, up-to-date satire on teenage idols and their fans. The greasy-haired, motorcycle-riding idol was to be given “One Last Kiss” by Kim MacAfee before being drafted into the army. The main plot with its subplots created refreshing entertainment for all who attended its performances. Kim depicts the average teenage girl — eight hours a day on the telephone, talk- ing about boys, clothes, and going steady. The executive board voted to present a musical for the Senior project; Mrs. Lynch then led the students by directing the pro- duction. The cast, being much larger than in previous years, gave sixty members of the class an opportunity to display their talents in the co-ordinated production. The Choral and Dramatic departments combined talents to produce the first Senior Musical at MHS. Miss Groze Cavendish Mrs. Wragg Jimmy North Beatrice Jasper . .

Sophomores Present Their First Mystery The ten-member cast presented the Sophomore class play, “A Murder Has Been Arranged” by Emlyn Williams. This presentation differed from pre- ceding ones in that it was a suspense-filled drama instead of the traditional comedy types given by the other Sophomore classes. The playwright was unable to ensnare the imagina- tion of his audience from the rise of the curtain and to hold it spellbound until the finish. That “spooky” feeling charged the air as the cast members unrolled their portrayal of the characters. Besides being a play of great interest this partic- ular script was blessed with the rare quality of originality. Mr. Raymond Gran skillfully guided the play with the help of student directors, Pat Kay and Linda Brown. THE HOMECOMING COURT: (left to right) Marianne Mahoney, Wayne Monroe, Elaine Belusky, Mr. Football Jerry Fox, Queen Carole Derr, Fred Maihofer, Marilyn Gill, and Mike Bikoff. Carole and Jerry Reign The originality of the Band float won first prize and helped stimulate the team on to VICTORY. Carole’s radiant smile shines through the half-time rains as Coach Demaree crowns her Homecoming Queen. 16 Carole Derr was chosen by the entire student body to reign as queen of the 1964-65 Homecoming, the an- nual work of the Student Council. Her attendants were Marianne Mahoney, Marilyn Gill, and Elaine Belusky. Half-time, adorned by the thrilling perform- ance of the Marching Pirates, brought with it the an- nouncement of the winning floats from the parade, with the Band effort for first place. The week-end also saw the return of alumni to watch the victorious Pi- rates defeat the Indians of Portage 19 — 0. Traditions were changed this year. The queen can- didate followed the collegiate idea of no formals at the game’s half-time procedures, and the dance, “In- dian Summer” with its appropriate decorations, was a turn-about with the largest attendance in several years. The football team picked from their ranks Jerry Fox as the recipient of the Mr. Football title. Other nom- inees for this honor were Mike Bikoff, Fred Maihofer, and Wayne Monroe. Jerry Fox, Mr. Football, proudly accepts congratula- tions from Janalee Nichols as she gives him the tradi- tional football the entire team has autographed. Ingenuity and imagination show clearly in the Ger- man Club entry in the Homecoming Parade. The Marching Pirates make a proud showing for MHS during the parade. 17 PROM COURT — (FRONT ROW) R.

Fox, M. Bikoff. (FOURTH ROW) King Rick Putz, Queen Janet Hacker. Janet and Rick Reign Over “ Whispering Sands ” Highlighting last years activities was the Junior- Senior Prom. On the evening of May 3, the MHS gymnasium was transformed into a warm and beauti- ful night on the Arabian desert. The theme, “Whisper- ing Sands”, was illustrated by the colorful Arabian scenery. The formally attired couples danced to the music of Buddy Presner’s dance band. Toward the end of the evening the climax came with the crowning of Janet Hacker and Rick Putz as the new Prom Royalty for 1964. Janet and Rick were chosen from twelve Junior boys and twelve girls. Refreshments were served by six Sophomore couples, dressed in the native costumes of an Arabian harem and slaves. The girls wore veils over their faces and the boys bright fez hats. The Post Prom party was given at the Sherwood Club where the couples were entertained by Oscar Hamod and his Majesties. Craig Smith and Steve Cunningham receive refresh- ments from server Nancy Ford. 18 Just before the announce- ment of the king and queen as all wait anxiously, ten- sion is high. Gracefully after the Grand March Janet and Rick lead the coronation dance. Surrounded by the essence of an Arabian desert, the couples drift romantically to Buddy Presner’s musical strains. Because of their outstanding scholastic ability Linda Bishop and Pat O Hara were ranked as valedictorian and salutatorian respectively of the graduating class of 1965. Pam Heisterberg was voted by the senior class to be the recipient of the honorable DAR award for outstand- ing citizenship, patriotism, and schol- arship. Outstanding Students Merit Recognition Besides the DAR, Betty Crocker Contest winner, Optomist Award winners, valedictorian, and salu- tatorian pictured here, seniors were also honored by being chosen to attend the Hoosier State held at Indiana University. Representing the class of 1965 were Val Domianus, Cathy Catlow, Glenn Smith, and Greg Smith. This year’s Optimist Clqb award went to Glenn Smith and Pam Heisterberg for their scholarship, leadership, and citizenship. Carol Miller was awarded the Betty Crocker award by the home economics department. She won this honor by taking a Betty Crocker qualification test. 20 Thespians Present “Three to Go” “Act well your part — therein all honor lies.” The members of Troupe 1692 were given an opportun- ity to display their diversity in three one-act plays January. The first of the trio, The Valiant, relied upon acting ability and needed no detailed scenery for its straight dramatic approach. Still Alarm was a hu- morous farce in which the emphasis was on under- playing in a sophisticated manner to show the op- posite extreme. This scene utilized props, set, and special effects, such as flashing red lights and smoke CAST The Valiant pouring through the window to denote a fire in a hotel. In the final presentation, Parted on Her Wedding Morn — Or More to be Pitied Than Scorned, the effective use of a hand that propelled snow through an open window was used for extra laughs.

Each day the activities of one or more clubs af- fect us in some way. Goals and standards are set by each club aside from the services they perform. Members are of- fered a wide range of varied experiences from attending a hit musical to building floats for the Homecoming parade. Assistant Drum Major Tom Troup makes sure that he is seen by all. Band Organizations I— A great variety of activities, pep, school spirit, ex- cellence in performance, outstanding competitive rec- ord, and personal pride in their own organization are all phrases that seem to typify our excellent high school band, which consistently seems to be striving for perfection. The “Marching Pirates,” Pep Band, Dance Band, and Symphonic Band are all separate groups within the organization performing publicly during the year as well as at special concerts and other programs. A great deal of credit goes to the band for their splen- did support of the football and basketball teams. The symphonic Band continues its fine record in state contests with successive first place awards. Band officers this year are: D. Smith, Pres.; B. Lunsford, V. Pres. ; M. Lawrence, Sec. and G. Smith, Treas. The band adds color as Coach Demaree announces the 1964 Homecoming Queen. 24 Our School’s Pride The Pep Band lends support and enthusiasm dur- ing pep sessions, basketball, and football games. The Marching Pirates line up in “M” Formation in a salute to the undefeated Pi- rate football team. 25 Vocal Groups and Choirs Ring Out to Many As always, the Concert Choir was one of the main attractions at Under the direction of Mr. Reinhart the choral department planned a busy, eventful year. Made up of the individual groups — Vocalteens, Merrill- ettes, Velveteens, and a new group, the Wander- ing Winds the department with the Concert Choir, Senior Belles and Sophomore Girls’ Choir found plenty of performers for the variety of entertain- ment they wished to give. Their first public appearance was the Christ- mas Concert given in December; the Junior High Boys’ Glee Club and interpretive dancers from the girls’ gym classes also participated. The solo and ensemble district contest was held in February; several participants from MHS en- tered. The Winter Concert, also in February, was the concerts put on by the music department. presented by the Concert Choir only, the serious mood of the songs was broken by the individual groups which added variety to the evening. One of the most exciting and inspiring events of the year occurred in March. Six schools partici- pated in the Choral Festival which took place at Calumet High School. Four hundred voices in com- bined choirs sang under the direction of a guest conductor. The final concert of the year was the Spring Concert. This concert was presented with a light, gay, and colorful atmosphere demonstrated by the songs, scenery, and by the formals and tuxedoes worn by the choir members. The Concert Choir sang for the last time at Baccalaureate exercises. MERRILLETTES: BACK ROW (L to R) M. Shema, L. Cook, N. Kelley, S. Hol- lan, T. Birk, J. Kuchar, P. Cannon FRONT ROW, D. Roy, N.

Viva El Espahol Spanish Club exceeded one hundred members again this year, proving Spanish is becoming more and more a popular language. The club placed third in the Homecoming float competition repeating its perform- ance of last year with the slogan “Viva Pirates.” The Christmas party was held in December with the an- nual “Canciones de Navidad.” In order to make the Christmas season a merrier one for a poor Spanish family in the Gary area the club donated a basket of food. The annual Spanish banquet proved to be a most successful event. The food, served in the traditional Spanish manner, gave the members a chance to sam- ple unusual food. A pinata was made and when broken it was found to be filled with candies and small prizes. The entertainment for the evening in- cluded the third year students singing “La Cucaracha” and the fourth and first year students gave short skits. The cafeteria was decorated cleverly depicting Spanish scenes. 29 Officers: (left to right) L. Kniggendorf, Treas. ; J. Hadsell, Sec.; P. Beasley, Vice- Pres. ; Mrs. Jeffries, Sponsor; N.

The first of many activities was the building of an unusual Homecoming float. The club also decided to have a roller skating party as a pre-Christmas activity. With an increased membership, the club managed to have its first Christmas banquet held in the school cafeteria. Members enjoyed traditional German food and entertainment. The major spring activity was a field trip to German Town on the north side of Chicago. Here members gained a first-hand experience of German life by eating at a German restaurant and seeing a German film. German Club Officers: (left to right) Elma Feltzer, Rep.; Warren Johnson, V.

The club participated in the Ball State Speech Contest with entries in humorous interpreta- tion, original interpretation, poetry, dramatic inter- pretation, and extemporaneous speaking. They also en- tered the Highland speech contest and co-sponsored the annual Fine Arts Program. As fund-raising pro- jects, the members held bake sales and a sock hop.

The Thes- pians produced three one-act plays and presented them during an evening performance. 38 Nurses Club in First Tear This was the first year for Merrillville’s Future Nurses Club. The new club was organized under the sponsorship of Mrs. Meyer, the school nurse.

Promotes Good Sportsmanship 41 The Pirate teams were spurred to success by the faithful Pep Club support throughout the year. Pep Club Chants Enthusiasm and Victories “Pep up,” has been the Pep Club’s main ex- pression this year. The Pep Club has done an ex- cellent job this year to promote school spirit, not only for sports, but also other school activities. There were large and spirited pep blocks to back up our undefeated football team. The support which the club gave from the very first game grew and flourished until it reached its peak at the playoff game. But this enthusiasm did not die during the basketball season. At the Christmas Tourneys the Pep Club really came through for the team by backing them in winning the run- ners-up trophy against the Warriors of Calumet. Under the new sponsorship of Mrs. Mary Jeffries the club held bake sales and a sock hop to raise money for the purple and white capes that are expected to be delivered next year. This member- ship was the first to elect officers to execute the business of the club and to organize committees for skits and signs for pep rallies and the school hallways.

The purpose of the Sunshine Society is to spread cheer. The motto is “Others” and Sunshiners try to live by it. The new year began with the initiation of twenty- one new members at a formal candlelight ceremony. Sunshiners were represented in the Homecoming Parade by a car with a box decorated with a can of wax. The theme was “Out Shine ’Um.” The money making proj- ect for this year was selling candy turtles. A contribution was made to Riley Hospital and other charitable organ- izations from the proceeds. Other activities included caroling at various county homes and hospitals at Christmas. Special programs were planned to honor the parents and the installation of new officers. At the end of the year two new officers were selected and sent to Sunshine Camp for leader- ship training. Audio Visual Serves School and Community 1st ROW— J. Carsons, L.

Junior Hi-Y is a service club for sophomore boys. Its purposes are to stimulate clean wholesome sports- manship, to serve the school in any way possible, and to promote good fellowship among its members. Every year the members attend a major sporting event, this year the boys enjoyed an exciting hockey game between Chicago and Toronto. For the annual Athletics Banquet the membership selected the most valuable player in the major sports of football, baseball, basketball, and track. These senior boys were awarded trophies contributed by the Hi-Y. Leading the Hi-Y this year were treasurer, Gail Pagel ; John Johnson as Secretary; Coach Demaree as the sponsor; A1 Patty heading the organization as president; and Bob Patty holding the office of vice-president. 46 Quill and Scroll Praises Prolific Pens QUILL AND SCROLL (BACK ROW) Ellen Kwas- (FRONT ROW) Nancy Northup, Marlene Gransingcr, ny, Claire Oosterhof, Mr. Rajchel.

Other members of Quill and Scroll not present were Pam Heisterberg, Mary Gress, and Jim Nelson. 47 S P 0 R T S The tempo is always grinding away for the athlete. Hard work, prac- tice, and more hard work fill the schedule for our boys. Through practice they gained in skill and knowledge. Thanks to the student participation and school spirit, the faculty and student body witnessed one of the most success- ful years in sports that Merrillville has ever known.

(THIRD ROW) Coach Demaree, In journeying to Merrillville’s second undefeated season, a conference championship, and state rating, the Pirates main strength was a tremendous defense. This has to be considered one of the two greatest Merrillville teams of all time. Records fell to this gridiron machine in numbers — most passes inter- cepted, longest punt return (97 yards by Wayne Monroe), longest return of an intercepted pass (95 yards by Fred Maihofer), mast tackles in one game by a team, most by an individual in one game (30 by Fred Maihofer).

Offensively, Wayne Monroe became the 3rd high- est total offense leader with 1389 yards. A1 Schmidt became the leading scorer among linemen by amassing 24 points. The qualities that stand out among many in the 1964 Pirates were pride, precision, purpose, team- work, and great defensive ability. Many schools have never had an undefeated sea- son. In 1964 Merrillville experienced their second one ; — hats off to a truly great performance — the proud Pirates of ’64. 50 Pirates Tie for CC Crown DEFENSIVE LINEUP— J. Eich, D. Lollis, A.

This year’s reserve football team, which posted an impressive season record of 4 wins and three losses, was never completely out of any single game. The re- serve defense followed in the footsteps of the varsity by allowing a very low 8.2 points per game. Although the defense was of exceptionally high quality, the team lacked one important element — a predictable offense. Had the offense been able to score just 16 more points in the right places, the junior Pirates would also have been undefeated. This year’s team was similar to every other team in that all the boys put out a maximum effort to im- prove themselves and the team. No attempt can be made to list individual players who were outstanding because such a list would include the whole team. If the varsity coaching staff can improve these boys as much as the reverse staff has, they will be quite an asset to the varsity next year. Some of the most greatly improved boys this year were most valuable player, Tom Taylor, and team co-captains, Bruce Hodges and Tom Krafft. 55 Bill Schmidt receives important instructions from Coach Demaree during a quick break.

During Successful Rebuilding Tear This year’s team began rather slowly, hampered by Levy’s injury, but continued to improve with each meet. The addition of two sophomores, Duane Hill and John Lefevre, strengthened the squad considerably. Steady performance by two strong Juniors, Bob Boyd and Willard Bloede gave added strength to the number four and five positions on the team. A consistent Dave Stock- ier held down the number three spot and Duane Hill won the number two spot for himself by his great soph- omore performances exceeding any yet produced by a Pirate Harrier as a sophomore. Jim Rudd took over the number one spot from Roger Levy in the first meet this season and never again lost it for the remainder of the season. Rudd proved his sophomore performances by setting a new record this year of 9:52 for the two mfle course at Gleason; break- ing Jim Aeschlaman’s old mark of 10:10 set in 1963. Jim won the respect of many runners in the area by placing sixth in the sectional meet just seconds away from qualifying for the regional.

Jerry Fox works his way through a maze of arms for a two-point lay up. The northwest area this year had a great deal of basketball com- petition. Gary Roosevelt, Gary Froebel, East Chicago Washington, and Valparaiso were ranked numbers one, two, five, and eight in the state, respectively. This does not include Tolleston, Hammond Noll, Highland, and Calumet and Hammond, all of which received votes in the UPI and AP rankings. Even for a good team, it is hard to come up with an average record. This year our fighting Pirates finished up with a 13 — 10 record, losing to fifth ranked East Chi- cago Washington in the semi-finals of the E. C. sectionals. East Chicago went on to win the sectional title. Although losing in the sectionals and ending the season with an average record, we did pull some upsets and near upsets during regular season play. The second game of the Lake County Holiday Tourney, we upset previously unbeaten Crown Point to advance to the finals. However, we lost to Calumet, eventual co-champion of the Calumet conference, and we had to settle for second place. Not all was lost, however, for A1 Schmidt received the award for the most valuable player in the tourney. Riding the upset trail, we upset Highland on a last second bas- ket by A1 Schmidt, thus inflicting Highland’s (the other confer- ence co-champ) only loss in league play. Still riding high, we tussled with Calumet, but eventually lost by a mere four points for a real heartbreaker. The following day we finished up our conference schedule with a 6 — 5 record. On Febru- ary 26, we played our first game of the sectional, whipping the Bulldogs of Crown Point 71 — 67, thus avenging a conference loss and besting the Bulldogs two out of three for the series. Five returning lettermen helped the Pirates to a 13—10 record this year. Playing their last game of their high school careers were Mike Kelley, A1 Schmidt, Wayne Monroe, Howard Gearhardt, and Jerry Fox. The rest of the team was composed of Bill Schmidt, Ar- len Pierce, Pat O’Brien, Ron Swanson, Don Swanson, Greg Popo- vich, Ron Eich, and John Morton.

Also included in the season’s record was a very impres- sive 7 wins and 4 losses against the reserve teams of conference foes. The reserve roundballers started off slow but towards mid-season began functioning as a team and finished out the rest of their schedule impressively.

BACK ROW: Coach Kaiser, C. Angelov, A. Bodak, G. Johnston, F. Maihofer, A. Hoffman, D. Eaton, K. Friedlund, C. Wrestling is a sport unlike any other, in that in- dividual efforts are stressed rather than team en- deavors. Of course, there is still the spirit of team- work evident when the boys on the sidelines shout words of encouragement to their fellow teammates. In this way, there is teamwork. This year, the main determining factor was the various injuries incurred by team members during the season. In fact, at conference time there were five injured team members. In spite of this handi- cap, there were some outstanding grapplers. Fred Maihofer was the most outstanding of these; he went as far as the regionals at East Chicago Wash- ington. Greg Johnston, injured at the time of the Gary Roosevelt meet, also had a very fine record this season. Mike Yelachich and A1 Bodak had records of eight and four for the year. Although Coach Kaiser expressed the opinion Johnston. FRONT ROW: B. Mundell, L. Porras, B. Wise, S. Porras, M. Yelachich, S. Langbehn, D. Henke, P. Kayich. that there was not as much running and condi- tioning exercises as he would have liked, there was no indication of any slackness of the athletes physi- cal abilities. This year, as last year, the team presented an ex- hibition of wrestling fundamentals during the half- time of one of the home basketball games. During this performance the audience was shown a demon- stration of the various techniques used by the team against their opponents. An explanation of the terms used was also given, clarifying the evaluation of the weight classes of the individuals. Coach Kaiser is looking forward to next year’s team, and he feels that there are some promising freshmen coming into MHS with which he can build his ambition of having better quality wres- tlers on the team.

Greg Smith The 1964 Merrillville golf team, under the direc- tion of Coach Hutchison, compiled a record of 26 wins and 6 losses and finished first in the Calumet Conference. This was no surprise at all, considering the Pirates were among the pre-season favorites. Along with coming in first in the always tough Cal- umet Conference, the Merrillville linksmen finished a respectable 12th in the Indiana sectionals. Top golfers on the team were Jim Dobis and Jerry Gaede. Jim Dobis was lost to this year’s team through graduation while Jerry Gaede moved to Crown Point and now will create part of the op- position to face the ’65 Pirate linksmen. This year’s prospects look very good. There are four lettermen returning to this year’s team: Greg Smith, Gail Pagel, Tom Troup, and Jerry Croell. With only one Senior on the team, Greg Smith, the team should be in the winning for the next two years.

The Merrillville baseball team, under the leader- ship of Coach Metcalf, finished out the regular sea- son with a 9 win, 9 loss record. Yet the fighting Pirates fought their way to second place both in the Calumet Conference standings with a 7 — 4 rec- ord. This year’s squad team will lose five regulars from last year’s squad through graduation, includ- ing All-Conference catcher, John Whetsel. John compiled the highest batting average in the con- ference with a .370 mark. In the overall seasons records A1 Schmidt led the Pirates with a .392 batting average, followed by Tom Stiener with .370, and Rick Schmidt with .244. Tom Stiener led in the home run department with 2 followed by A1 Schmidt with 1. Both Stiener and Schmidt ac- counted for all of the Pirates round-trippers. Bob Kiburz and A1 Schmid t tied for the leadership in the runs batted in department with 7 apiece just ahead of Tom Stiener with 6. Wayne Monroe proved to be the speedster of the team stealing 5 bases for team honors. Rick Schmidt was the mainstay of the pitching staff by compiling a 5 win 2 loss record along with a 1.58 earned run average. This year’s team will have 4 returning lettermen to strengthen the squad: A1 Schmidt, Wayne Mon- roe, Jim Tuminello, and Dan Djukic. 64 with 7 for 11; Take 9 of 18 for Season SCOREBOARD Merr. 5 Demotte 10 Demotte 0 Lew Wallace 0 Horace Mann 5 Dyer 3 Crown Point 1 Washington (E.

Place 4th in Conference Division Although the thinclads representing the Pirates finished an unimpressive eighth place in the con- ference, two school records were broken during the season. The 1 :36.3 time for the 880 yard relay was cut to 1 :35.2 by the four-man team of Gary Hill, Jim Cast ldi, Mike Kelley, and Ron Clark. The 2 mile relay record of 8:58.8 was broken down to 8:47.2. The participants in this event were Dave Stockier, Jim Masters on, Walter Malis, and Jim Rudd. Six returning lettermen — Ron Clark, Bill Fran- zen, Howard Gearhart, Mike Kelley, Jerry Knaga, and Fred Maihofer — added much to the team in experience and the diversity of events they per- formed in. The four top point receivers were Ron Clark, 5854; Howard Gearhart, 32; Mike Kelley, 31 J4; and Fred Maihofer, 30. Fred Maihofer, shot-putter, and Mike Kelley, a high hurdler, were regional qualifiers. In the Dual Meets Merrillville participated in, the team placed first in one of three trials. The Pirates’ leadership consisted of Ron Clark, Jim Castaldi, and Gail Luttinen as tri-captains. The best placements for the team as a whole were earned in Hobart and Divisional Relays, in which the Pirates placed fourth. Hope for the coming season includes optimism for a better conference ranking. Also, there are plans to tie or improve our own school records in the several events offered. 67 A C A D E M I C S The changing times and quickening pace to- ward superiority found the MHS faculty striving to achieve the best; to suit the needs of the student body’s future. Many stu- dents find they should linger longer on those math problems or in writ- ing that term paper. Others spend their study time day-dreaming about the big game Friday, the prom, or seeing “him” tomorrow morning. What might look like mass confusion, is in reality the next issue of the MIRROR in the making. Journalists Put Forth Much Effort to The financial part of journalis m class is handled by business manager Tom Novotny with the help of Tim Nelson and John Spitz. Muffled curses and the steady click, click, click, of the mimeograph machine adds to the work, work, work of the MIRROR and MERRILLVUE staffs, under the guidance of Mr. Rajchel, sponsor. These students are a select group chosen by their junior English teachers to serve as staff members their senior year. Reluctantly beginning in September, the staffs pre- pare for the coming year. They must learn the do’s and don’ts of good journalistic writing. These stu- dents learn how to write meaningful and effective leads and news stories. Frantically they write and type stories so that an edition of the MIRROR may be completed every two weeks for Merrillville students. Working on the yearbook requires a number of mas- tered tasks. These students must diligently sell sub- scriptions, write and rewrite copy, plan lay-out, find effective headlines, and meet deadlines. As March and the final deadline approaches, the staff often must stay many hours after school finishing the an- nual so that a completed MERRILLVUE may be sent to the publishing company and returned to Mer- rillville in May. 70 The journalism class hard (?) at work. Heading this year’s journalism staff are from left to right: John Spitz, Merrillvue editor; Tom Novotny, business manager; Kathy Taylor, Mirror editor; and Mr. Rajchel, sponsor.

Not only do speech students learn to speak before an audience, but they also learn the fundamentals of dramatics. Speech students are required to make a play report. They also have to do a great deal of research for their debate assignments. For the past few years Mer- rillville has participated in the Ball State and High- land Speech Contests. In these contests the stu- dents must memorize poetry, humorous or dramatic interpretation, and recite it before a group of judges. The Ross Township Optomists Club also sponsors public speaking contests where the students are given Pat Taseff demonstrates good speechmaking techniques by keeping her fellow students’ attention. Mr. Gran keeps a stern watch over his class during study time. a title and then must write and recite their original oratory. Mrs. Lynch is the director of the English Depart- ment. In Our English classes everyone must make at least one book report. The two semesters are divided into one each of grammar and literature, except in college prep in which the greatest emphasis through- out the year is placed upon literature and composi- tion. Most of the English classes are able to see movies which help in the literature aspect of English. Overhead projectors are utilized to show students their errors through class discussion. College prep students use study time to their best advantage. Merrillville Becomes Internationalized Mr. Markle prepares to show a film concerning life in Ger- many. The languages offered at MHS are Spanish, Latin, and German. Spanish ranks first in enrollment, followed by Latin, and, finally by German. Languages are taught differently than they were even last year. A language laboratory has been installed to help students with pronunciation and practical speaking of the language. The dull grammar exercises are now substituted with interesting tapes. The lessons in the book are followed with corresponding tapes, enabling the student to gain the greatest amount of understanding from them. The laboratories consist of individual booths, equipped with a headset. This allows the student to hear a native speak and then the student repeats or ex- presss his response. A variety of tapes are used, giving the students an opportunity to answer questions at the conclusion of each segment. Many tapes consist of pattern drills based on grammar usage. This enables the student to drill himself on what troubles him the most. In order to give the students an idea of the country’s culture, typical songs are played. Last year was the first time that the lang uage de- partment participated in a state-wide contest spon- sored by Indiana University. We had six semi-finalists in Spanish and one semi-finalist in German. The three winners from the Spanish Department won a six weeks trip to Mexico. It is hoped that this year’s language department will prove itself as successful or more so than in the past. Spanish lab students attentively listen to taped ma- terial as they follow a story in their textbook. 73 Mr. Demaree locates France for two of his World History students Glenn Soos and Sandy Wilson. Students Prepare to Meet World Problems Daily discussions were common on the world’s economic situation and found students attentive and interested. A variety of social studies courses are offered to stu- dents at MHS. World History is a sophomore elective course while United States History and Government and Economics are required of all juniors and seniors respectively for graduation. The study of these courses provides knowledge for the future by pointing out the errors and achievements of the earlier peoples. World History, taught by Mr. Demaree, deals with the history of past and present peoples. Through it students are able to see the development of man- kind from prehistoric times to the present times. United States History, a junior requirement, is taught by Mrs. Spurr and Miss Triplo. This course en- ables students to see the growth and development of our nation and its policies. Through it students can gain an insight into our country’s future. Government and Economics is the only required courses for seniors. Each student spends one semester studying Government and one semester studying Eco- nomics. The course is taught by Mr. Armontrout, Mr. Talmadge, and Mrs. Spurr. Government promotes an understanding of our Federal departments in action. The course was highlighted this year by the presi- dential elections. Economics helps the individual understand the economy of our country and points out its strengths by comparing it to other economic systems. Through these social studies courses, students are prepared for college and for being better citizens. 74 Math and science are important foundations for students in our modern world. For budding young scientists, advanced biology, chemistry, and physics are offered at Merrillville. Advanced biology is a continuation into the science of biology, which deals with the origin and life his- tory of plants and animals. Students prepare projects, such as cancer growth in white mice, to aid in their “book learning.” Chemistry is the study of the composition of sub- stances and the laws that govern them. Physics delves in the scientific study of matter and energy. Experi- ments are used in both classes to give a clearer under- standing of the two fields. The math courses offered at MHS are algebra, ge- ometry, advanced algebra, and trigonometry. Algebra acquaints students with the basic principles of equations containing unknowns. Advanced algebra expands these basic concepts and challenges students to solve equations with two and three unknowns. Geometry students engage in the study of lines, angles, and surfaces. Trigonometry is an elective which is usually taken by college bound seniors. It is the mathematical study of relationships, of the sides of triangles to their angles. The students also touch on the fields of solid and co- ordinate geometry and calculus. The math department hopes to provide a fifth year of math at MHS in the near future. Mr. Hutchison explains Hero’s Formula to his geometry class. Math and Science Prove Challenging The use of the balance scale is demonstrated by Mr. Vermillion to one of his chemistry classes. 75 Lines — Both Creative and Constructive Correct procedure in Drafting I is explained by Mrs. Semokaitis who substituted for him during his illness. The art classes periodically exhibit their projects in the lobby display windows. The drafting and art departments, under the super- vision of Mr. Semokaitis and Mrs. Lewis respectively, teach students how to put lines to work both con- structively and artistically. The complete drafting course of three years con- sists of three separate courses all different but related to each other. Sophomore drafting, a combination of all the courses gives the student an idea as to what field of drafting he wishes to specialize. Architectual drawing gives the student a more advanced course in the design and construction of a house. Machine draft- ing gives the student highly technical study of the drafting used in industry. The art department made up of four courses lets the student express himself through many types of artwork. Reed constructions, mosaics, sculpture, ce- ramics, pencil technique, oil painting, and free hand sketching are a few of the projects to keep the stu- dent occupied. The best of all work done by the art department is chosen for display in the main lobby. 76 Home Ec Is the Key for Future Homemakers Our Home Economics department is divided in 8 sec- tions of study. Home Economics students for the first year receive instruction from Mrs. Kirtland in cooking and nutrition. Mrs. Seale teaches fundamental sewing, grooming, and personal care. The second year is cook- ing again, more advanced sewing, and fiber study. Those girls interested in Home Economics as a major enroll in the third year course which is also divided into two sections. Mrs. Seale again teaches the sewing. Under her guidance the girls learn every detail involved in mak- ing a good fitting garment. Also included is a thorough study of clothing line, style, colors, and many other facets of design. The second sections of this course under Mrs. Kirtland’s direction is Homemaking. In this course the students learn about the making of a good home. This starts with preparation for marriage, and then goes into martial problems, the raising of children and the budgeting of money. The final year of Home Economics is Interior Decora- tion and Modem Nursing and Baby Care. Mrs. Kirtland instructs the future mothers on the problems and ad- justments of a practical home nurse. Mrs. Seale teaches the final section which is Home Design and Interior Decoration. For 9 weeks the girls learn different housing construction, architecture design, the cost of building, and different types of building materials used. Also stressed are the household utensils and kitchen planning and arrangement. The final six weeks covers interior decorating. Home Economics is worthwhile for all girls as an aid for personal care and the building block for future wives and mothers. Home Economics students show their work in Clothing I in the display window. V 77 Accent Placed on Physical Fitness Danny Aubuchun tries looking at things from a different angle. 78 Wanning up with a basket- ball skirmish is a daily part of the boys’ gym class. In This Year’s Gym Classes This year the accent in the physical education class- es is on “Physical Fitness.” Mrs. VVilkerson, the girls’ gym teacher, made classes interesting for her students by starting each class with exercises done to music, plus various team sports, duel sports, and individual sports. Tournaments were held in all of these sports. Besides exercises and sports, the classes also were given study guides to help them with the rules of the games, as well as written and practical tests. As well as these activities many dances, such as square dancing, folk dancing, modern dancing, and social dancing, were taught. Mrs. Wilkerson’s dancers performed at many of the school concerts. This year there was a student girls’ gym teacher. Miss Shiela Guthrie, a student of Indiana University, taught the gym classes from March 29 to May 28. The boys’ gym classes, taught by Mr. Metcalf and Mr. Alhbrand, started the year with such fall sports as touch football, soccer, and speed ball, which were fol- lowed by inside sports, such as volleyball, basketball, tumbling, and individual sports (badmitton, ping pong, handball), and finally, the spring sport, soccer. Also this year other activities, such as relays and group games (dodge ball, mass basketball) were played. The boys’ gym class also had a student teacher. Mr. Curtis Casbon, a student of Ball State, taught here eight weeks, starting the first week before Christmas. John Shelhart is practicing for his physical fitness test. 79 All eyes to the right! In second year typing one of the fundamental rules is to keep your eyes on the copy. Business Courses Extend Opportunities Mrs. Brunton and Kathy Catlow run off stencils in Of- fice Practice class. One of the heaviest enrolled branches of learning at Merrillville is that of the business courses. Among the courses included in this field are Typing I and II, Shorthand I and II, business machines — general cleri- cal, bookkeeping, general business, and business math. The basic fundamentals of typing are taught in Typing I, while production tests are administered in Typing II. Shorthand I and II consists of basically building up speed and accuracy. Also speed drills are given periodi- cally. The combined courses of business machines and gen- eral clerical consist of one semester each. In business machines class students learn to operate adding ma- chines, electric typewriters, mimeograph and mimeo- scope machines. Bookkeeping consists of learning the process of keeping books for businesses. At the end of each se- mester bookkeeping practice sets are passed out in which each student keeps books for a certain business. General business and business math teach the fun- damentals of business transactions and the different types of math used in businesses. For the first time at M.H.S. department heads were assigned. The head of the business department is Mrs. Bovard. One of her jobs is to assist students in deciding what field of business they want to enter and help to place them. 80 Shorthand students achieve speed and accuracy under the assistance of Mrs. Bovard. This year’s bookstore, under the direction of Mrs. Brunton, was run very efficiently by Nancy Kay, Dorothy Rhode, and Jolene Pawlicki. In All Aspects of The Business World Students of shorthand learn to read, in addition to writing shorthand. Mr. Lenig assists Diana Bascom with her typing skills. 81 When one thinks of a course in the industrial arts department, it is usually thought of as a snap course. This was at one time true, but now it is the exact opposite. To receive an A in any of the shop courses, one must show talent, abil- ity, and above all, fine workmanship. The in- dustrial arts department, headed by Mr. Semo- kaitis, consists of five shops, all separate but in- terrelated shops. Although drafting is officially classed as an in- dustrial arts course, there is actually little work done in the other shops. The other four shops in this area are machine, electrical, wood, and automotive. Wood shop, taught by Mr. Kaiser, consists of a series of three year courses. In Wood Shop I the student learns how to handle the various tools and use this knowledge he gains to build simple projects. Wood II and III are similar to Wood I but are advanced to the point where the student uses the available power tools. Phil Stepp finds a power sander a great help in Wood I. Students Learn Manual As Mr. Bergherm instructs Tim Ellis and Bob Szillage on how to repair their car. 82 Mr. Wooldrige seals a picture in plastic to preserve it. Well As Mental Skills The basic principles of electricity are revealed to the student by Mr. Bergherm and Mr. Novak in Electricity I and II. In Electricity I the student con- structs simple electrical circuits and the basic elec- tric motor. In Electricity II the procedure of how to wire a house is taught. The two year course of metal shop acquaints the student with all facets of metalwork. In Metal I the student is familiarized with all the basic hand tools and a few power tools. In Metal II the student uses milling machines and lathes to make more com- plex projects such as gears. Welding, sheet metal, and foundry are all explored in each year’s course. The final shop, the auto shop, is under the direc- tion of Mr. Bergherm. How to repair a car and its parts is the main point stressed. This three hour course trains the student for future jobs as mechan- ics. Metal shop I teaches the student the correct way to run the power lathe. 83 M Our years spent at MHS are accentuated with measures of every- day activities, key-noted by the annual highlights. The extra long football practices, the bus rides to Band contests, and bor- rowed English assign- ments, and even the special events will be for- gotten. But the memory and the shared experiences of our friends will remain with us in the future.

As time draws to a close for the Senior Class, minds turn to reminiscing over the past four years of high school. The Class of “65” was the last group of students to be dubbed “Freshman.” As freshmen, many new doors were opened to us, but still others were opened only after initiative, creativity, and hard work were em- ployed. New teachers, ideas, and study habits took awhile to become accustomed to, while the social and club activities were plunged into wholeheartedly. Our first project as a class was to build a float for the Homecoming parade. This was the first time that wer worked as a unit for a school function. Freshman year didn’t involve too many projects. It was mainly a year for learning, hard study, and becom- ing used to accepting responsibilities. Sophomore year was also started off with prepara- tion for Homecoming festivities. This year, many of us found ourselves engaged in more outside activities. Some of us were club officer; others were class officers and class representatives. This was the year that we put on our first play, The Mouse That Roared. Many of us tried out, but only a few could have parts. Many of us then found ourselves engaged in behind-the-scenes preparation. Our executive board picked out the class rings. We were the first class to be allowed to order them our sophomore year so that we would receive them as soon as we got back to school in September. The board chose a blue stone with the Merrillville Pirate mounted on top. At the end of the sophomore year, many who had studied hard their first two years of high school were rewarded by being accepted into the National Honor Society. Five per cent of the sophomore class was ac- cepted at this time. As upper classmen, the Juniors found themselves work- ing extra hard for a good entry in the Homecoming pa- rade. We tried with the band and shared the first place trophy with them. It wasn’t long after Homecoming that we started planning for our Prom. The executive board met. Theme and committees were chosen. After months of prepara- tion, our prom, entitled Whispering Sands, was held for the Seniors. Janet Hacker and Rick Putz reigned as king and queen. Our junior play, George Washington Slept Here, broke all previous records for tickets sold for a class play. Again, much time and hard work was put into this production. In March the Athletic Ball was held. Daria Olson, who was the junior queen candidate, was chosen to reign as queen. Boys and Girls State representatives were chosen our junior year. Val Domianus, Kathy Catlow, Glenn Smith, and Greg Smith were chosen to attend. Glenn Smith was also chosen to be our representative at the Governor’s Youth Advisory Committee. The Spanish department was rewarded when Yvonne Patellis, Marcia Peters, and Linda Palm earned a trip to Mexico for six weeks of study. They competed in a written and oral examination and were personally interviewed. All three were chosen to go. Claire Ooster- hof attended the Latin workshop at I.U. during the summer. Karen Johnson went to Europe with the Jun- ior Classical League during the summer. Our final year found us again preparing for our last Homecoming. The parade, dance, and game festivities were worked on by everyone. Our cheerleaders worked extra hard to make the festivities a success. Jerry Fox was Mr. Football, and Carole Derr was Homecoming Queen. Our football team had an undefeated year which made all of us very proud. They tied with Portage for the Calumet Conference title. A1 Schmidt was chosen for the All-State Team. Pam Heisterberg was chosen by the student body to receive the D.A.R. award. At the Optomist dance held in November, Pam Heisterberg and Glenn Smith were chosen to receive the Optomist award for being the outstanding girl and boy in the senior class. In the Home economics department, Carol Miller scored the highest on the Betty Crocker test and received the Betty Crocker award for our school. Instead of the traditional drama presented by the senior class, we presented the first musical ever to be presented by a senior class. Bye Bye Birdie proved to be a great success. The senior executive board chose the graduation an- nouncements and paid for the bench, which was our senior gift to the school. During basketball season, our team took the second place trophy in the Christmas toumies. In the days, weeks, months, and years which have passed before us, there are memories and experiences which we will always remember. Graduation, our last time together as a class, will be remembered by every- one. 94 LYNNE ABASCAL — Andrean 1,2,3; FTA 4; Pep 4; Speech 4; Spanish 4.

MICHAEL YELACHICH MICHAEL YUGO RITA SNEMIS Our Homecoming Queen Carole Derr sits in radiant splendor surrounded by the loveliness ol her court: Elaine Belusky, Marianne Mahoney, and Marilyn Gill. Athletic Captains Stand Out Special recognition should be given to the cap- tains of our various athletic teams. These boys were selected for their superior skill they exhibited in the various sports they participated in. To receive this honor they had to demonstrate leadership and the will to work hard. Their efforts, along with our fine coaching staff, produced our winning teams. Co-captains of the wrestling squad this year were Dennis Eaton and Fred Maihoffer. Dennis wrestled at 180 lbs. and Fred at Heavy Weight. Pi loting the undefeated Merrillville football squad were Fred Maihoffer and Wayne Monroe. Fred and Wayne both made honorable mention at all conference. The basketball squad was guided by co-captains Mike Kelley and A1 Schmidt. Mike played guard, and A1 a forward. Heading the Pirate 1965 track squad were Mike Kelly and Fred Maihoffer. Mike runs the hurdles, and Fred throws the shot. 116 Juniors Prepare for One More Tear Junior Class Officers for 1 965 were Debbie Braatz, treas. ; Nancy Poduno- vich, sec.; Marilyn Mundell, vice-pres.; Bill Myer, pres. As the second year of high school comes to an end, the class of 1966 feels completely satisfied with their accomplishments. Receiving the class rings brought with them the true feeling of being “upperclassmen.” Everyone found the gold banded rainbow stones as wonderful as their expectations. Directing the class talents and efforts brought forth the first successful project of the year — the “Key to Victory” homecoming parade float. Its en- trance into the competition won the place of hon- orable mention. Next came the Junior Class Play — a big hit with MHS students. Although the cast consisted of only nine members, six boys and three girls, the whole class was involved in the business, back-stage, and publicity for the production. Despite a near blizzard outside, the auditorium was filled to near capacity both Friday and Saturday night, proving the con- fidence of the community and student body in the performing excellence of the class. While keeping them busy by requiring long hours of hard work and concentration, chemistry and Al- gebra II introduced Juniors to new concepts in math and science. Literature directed them toward new horizons of understanding in challenging them to read such literary works as “Our Town” and modem poetry by E. E. Cummings. The Yuletide season passed and found the Junior class deeply engrossed in finishing up their plans for the Junior-Senior Prom to be given May 1. The thought of finally preparing their own prom was something to work hard for and enjoy a great deal. In late May they confidently elected their new class officers, knowing they would do a good job. The Junior class added more than their share of the cheer- ing at pep sessions. 117 H. Alexander £. Allen G. Apathy V. Apolzan P. Appleton B. Asbridge D. Ashley W. Ashley J. Babcock M. Backes E.

Zimmer Jim Koczercut and Bill Schmidt hold the key to victory for the Fighting Pirates, while repre- senting the Junior Class. Sophomore Class Officers: TOP ROW — D. Hill, presi- dent; J. Jones, treasurer; BOTTOM ROW — P. Kay, vice-president; S. Simpkins, secretary. This is the sophomores first year at M.H.S. Their first experience as a working group was for Homecoming. They entered a float in the parade with the title “Born to Win.” Many sophomores have gone out for sports and they have learned what is ex- pected of them. High school athletics are very important and we hope the sopho- mores will have their continued support. To back the reserves the cheerleading squad has worked hard and has also given support to the varsity squads. This year the sophomores have learned how important good study habits are. For those who have excelled this year, they were tapped in the spring for National Honor Society. This is a great honor for any sophomore and those who were tapped should be very proud. At the prom this year eight sophomores were asked to serve. This is a task that is fulfilled by the sophomores every year at prom time. They not only are permitted to serve but they can attend the post prom party later in the evening. The sophomore executive board chose their class rings this year. Under Mr. Gran’s direction the sophomore class presented their first class play, A Murder has been Arranged. The class worked very hard on it and it was a success for them. This year has been very important for the sophomores and very rewarding. As juniors they will be more busy and will still have many new experiences awaiting them. B. Arnold S. Apathy C. Angelov D.
