On Thursday, October 23, the parade began at 5:00 p.m. Follow- ing this, the powder puff game started at 7:30. After the game at about 9:30 the bonfire was ignited. The competition between the classes began with the floats. The Sophomore float theme was White- wash the Devils. They won second place. The Junior float “MHS Pirates will make the Red Devils fall into the jaws of Defeat took first place. The Senior float theme was Declaration of Victory. Seniors took third place. In the first powder puff game the Sophomores took on the Juniors, Ju- niors winning in overtime. The second game matched the victorious Juniors and the Seniors. Again in overtime Ju- niors defeated the Seniors. Romantic scences were found at the bonfire. The bonfire ended about 10:30 when people went home to pre- pare for the next day. The football game added to the overall success of homecoming. Mer- rillville won 14-13. The sun sets on the French Club float at the close of the homecoming parade.

Merrillville High School held its third Community Involvement Day for par- ents and adults of the Merrillville High School community. Students were al- lowed to exchange with an adult for their complete school day. Adults appeared to blend in with the regular student body at a much higher percentage than in previous years. Upon their arrival, many adults, so be- wildered and anxious, overlooked such simple habits as turning off their car lights. Blue jeans seemed to have been an increasing fad among the young-hearted adults. There were also the usual parents who were taken by surprise while trying to “catch a smoke” in some unsuspected place around the school. One man who was caught ditching his class said that he simply refused to go to a cooking class no matter what they did to him. As three o ' clock came around the adults showed a relieved look on their faces as they turned from their lockers and started for home.

Surrounded by the cast members was the hard work of students who spent several evenings preparing the set, primarily a living room, during the 1920’s. Their play, chosen and directed by Mr„ Joseph Morrow, was held in early November. The student director was Toni Jimenez. A family of 13, with all of their prob- lems and arguments turned into one big happy family as the curtain fell and applause filled the auditorium.

Concerts ushered in the holidays The Christmas Concert was held be- fore the public two evenings and one school day; half the school going fifth hour and the rest going sixth. The band, pianists, Girls Glee, Concert Choir, and Vocalteens performed. The pom pon girls also performed in the evening shows. They dressed as elves, soldiers, toys, and dancers. The Christmas Concert was an over- all success to help begin the holiday season. The Vocalteens, dressed in winter clothes, sang a selection of winter songs. 16 Mike Cloyd (left) acted as commentator for the The Girls Glee j oins the Concert Choir in the Hal- evenings. lelujah Chorus at the closing.

VJi Students took over Merrillville schools The second annual Student Government day took place Jan. 12, 1976. The students occupied many of the adminis- trative positions of the Merrillville Community School Corporation. Student council members conducted extensive inter- views, after which they selected approximately 60 students to fill the various positions. These positions consisted of anywhere from the superintendent of schools to the jani- tors. Seniors had priority over Juniors and Sophomores since this would be their last year. The day proved to be educational and enjoyable for all who took part in it. ABOVE: Answering the phone was one of the many responsibilities of Lynn Poss, who replaced secretary, Mrs. Barkley.

The spirit week class activities pertained to the class themes of 1950’s for soph- omores, Storybook Characters for ju- niors, and Wizard of Oz for seniors. Halls were decorated on Monday of spirit week. A student-faculty basket- ball game was played preceding purple and white day which saw the Pi- rate varsity win the conference cham- pionship. Juniors were declared win- ners of spirit week for displaying the most spirit during the week.

The wide variety of acts included pi- ano and vocal solos, duets, a pan- tomine, Our Gang Comedy scetches, and lots of other surprises. Thespian sponsor Mr. Morrow, as- sisted by student director Jim Waters, combined their creative ideas to make the show “better than ever.” Sheree Sarko, best described as “the delightful little Edith-Ann”, served as master of ceremonies for the eve- ning. She performed her hilarious an- tics from a swing built for her by the stagecraft class. The Our Gang traveling acting group performed skits from the Carol Burnet Show, winning the audience approval. Vocal solos were presented with Doug Zale and Mike Downey singing a duet, accompanied by their guitars. Julie Klaus demonstrated the art of cheating through her original pan- tomine. Piano selections were presented in ragtime and modern me- lodies.

The play centered around a small town girl, Meg Wheeler, played by Sheree Sarko, who moves to New York in hopes of finding a good job and an eligible bachelor. After arriving at the girls’ hotel, where she was to stay, the other girls told her her ambi- tions were hopeless. Ignoring their comments, she instantly found a job working for Doughton Brothers and proceeded to date Miles Doughton, Mike Cloyd, a man most popular with the ladies. She consulted Evan Doughton, James Waters, for a plan to help her win Miles ' love. Motivation research became their strategy. After combining the most desirable traits of each of his twelve other sweethearts, she com- pleted her goal. Miles asked for her hand in marriage. But motivation re- search backfired; Meg ended up mar- rying Evan. Teri Jimenez, student director, as- sisted Mrs. Kathryn Schmidt, director, in producing the play.

It was held at the Greek Hall as in previous years followed by a few quick changes to accommodate post prom shortly afterwards. The coronation took place at about 11:00 p.m., announcing Gary Maty- kiewicz and Laurie Hancock the roy- alties of the evening. They then, along with their court, led the Grand March as the remaining guests grad- ually joined in. Mrs. Bothwell along with several committees planned and prepared the tickets, decorations, refresh- ments, and entertainment for the prom. The PTO prepared the entire Post Prom including food and entertainment.

Cecil John Rhodes ( 1853 - 1902 ) Remodeled Shops Became Best in the State When a student at Merrillville enters an industrial arts course there is a great amount of hands-on” activity be- cause of the amount and variety of equipment available for use. All five shop classes this year acquired new up-dated equipment. The tables in the drafting class were designed by Mr. Semokaitis exclusively for Merrillville high school. Merrillville was the first high school in the nation to have the Sun Diagnostic Computer in their auto shop class. Next year a course in General Metals and Graphic Arts will be added. In the near future a Plastics class will also be offered. Ron Jamrose draws on a new drafting table designed by Mr. Semokaitis for Merrillville students.

Mr. Ward (below) displays some of the new tools in the power me- chanics shop. 29 Business courses offered alternatives to college Students in typing get ready to listen to the new dictaphone and take dictation. Cristine Kruzan watches her 4th year typing book intently as she gets ready for a time writing. This year the business department received all new up- dated equipment and furniture. The typing laboratory was equiped with brand new electric typewriters while the be- ginning typing classes received new manual typewriters. In addition, four electronic printing calculators and two display electronic calculators and a new ink duplicator were added. Also installed was a wireless console lab with individual student headsets and control boxes, enabling students to take dictation from tapes at varying speeds according to the individual abilities. To enrich the classes an outside speaker was brought in to speak about work as a legal secretary. Demonstrations of the memory typewriter were given by an IBM representative to the advanced typing students. Plans for the addition of a course in co mmunication next year to assist the employee in the business world with the composing of memos and letters are being made. Carol Papp in 2nd year typing is unaware of photographer as she finishes her assignment. Janet Hansen nodded out during an interesting discussion in her account- ing class. The Child Development class brought in little brothers and sisters every Thursday to observe their behavior. Little Jeffery Schieb waits anxiously through activity period for the Christ- mas party in 3rd hour child development. Rennovated Home Ec area took on new appearances Foods and clothing rooms have been completely remo- deled. New electrical equipment including freezers, trash compactors, dishwasher, and micro wave oven were added. New cabinets were installed in both rooms. The sewing rooms now have 24 Viking sewing machines. The foods rooms have new dinette sets, dishes, silver ware and hand equipment. During the first semester while construction was still in progress all foods and clothing classes met in the library to study menu planning consumer education, design, textile, and fabrics. A course in child care was also offered. One day a week each student brought a small child and observed them at play. After the completion of the remodeling, several students could work at the same time on their cooking assignments. The home-ec equipment arrived slowly but surely as students waited anx- iously to begin cooking. 31 Guidance had new offices Due to the reconstruction, the guidance office trippled in size. Each of the four counselors received an office com- plete with new furniture and carpeting. The students wait- ing room was made very spacious so more student’s could be accomodated at one time. A section was provided for students to relax while looking through college catalogs. The counselors favorite addition was the large confer- ence room. When scheduling changes were not taking place, large groups lectures could be conducted by college representatives or job recruiters. Together with Andrean, the Merrillville guidance depart- ment sponsored “College Night , where representatives from fifty colleges were invited to lecture on their university. Students and parents from Merrillville and Andrean were in- vited to attend, ask questions, and stay after for refreshments. When scheduling changes became a way of life for a week at the beginning of the semesters the counselors often met in the conference room with sev- eral students at a time. In the newly remodeled guidance area Mr. Lewis talks to Junior Steve Foremski about his program changes. Picking colleges was no easy task. Andrea Dinatale (left) receives some ’ help from Mr. Lewis in picking her college. Pat Hassett (above), listens as Mrs. Hogan explains a college catalog. 32 Oh, those • $% E term papers! It wasn ' t easy putting the papers together as students in Mrs. Lynch ' s classes found out (top) while sorting note cards. Who made it so difficult? Mrs. Lynch (below) has the answer. English program revised to offer stronger classes The English department again this year offered the nine week courses directed towards individual interest and ability. The courses ranged from level one, very easy, to level five, advanced. For the slower student level one and two courses such as basic Word Power and Star Treks were of- fered. The college bound student could choose a level four or five class dealing with Philosophy, Vocabulary or Ad- vanced Composition. The english program for next year has been revised. Sev- eral courses have been combined into semester long courses while some remain nine weeks long. The object is to offer “something for everyone. English wasn ' t all term paper writing, Mrs. Guerero lectures to her philoso- phy class warning them against becoming Cholos. 33 It was not “Greek” to them! Foreign language students benefited greatly from the new remodeled language labs. A complete new system of headphones were installed in each language classroom. The headphone systems were hooked up on bars which were lowered from the ceilings. In this way vandalism was prevented and students gained more from the class. At the end of the semester each class prepared a smorgsboard meal from their country. Students cooked the dishes at home and brought them to school to share with the class. Spanish teacher Mrs. Bertruam listens in on her Spanish class as they listen and repeat after a prepared lesson. German teacher, Mr. Hamilton drills the class in pronunciation and verb tenses. Even the parents got into the act on Community Involvement Day as this parent shows by listening to one of the Spanish tapes. Mrs. Callander ' s second year french students listen to a recitation from an- other member of the class. 34 Elective program offered many choices Armand Vargas listens intently to a lecture given in his US History class. 1 ? rjvi 1 01 K, - r I , . «cr| A wide variety of history courses were offered this year. Juniors were required to take one semester of U S. History and could select any elective history course for their sec- ond semester. Seniors were required to take Government and Economics to graduate. Because this was our country’s bicentennial year and an election year, government classes had an extra load of studying to do. Seniors were expected to keep up with local as well as national candidates. The issues in terms of presi- dential candidates were discussed in detail. Carl Petroff helps collate Mr. Nesper ' s infamous final exam in government class. The results were varied, but answering the test was the educational part. Senior Sue Wirtes lectures her Econ class about the different types of insurance. This here is Canada, Y ' aM” exclaims Mrs. Hurt to her Canadian history class. Canadian history was one of the elective courses offered this year. Library offered quiet study area A quiet place to study, relax or catch up on sleep was found in the library. Many classes spent days at a time completing research papers in the library. Econ and government classes made use of the magazine room while history classes chose video tapes as an added source of reference. The English Techniques of Research students could al- ways be found in the library working on index cards for their term papers. The library supplied the needed information for hundreds of research papers throughout the year, along with movies, film-strips, records, and college pamphlets. The above mural is only one of many on the walls at M.Ville High that en- courage students to Float Down to the Library.” Two students get away from all of the noise on activity period by sitting in the school library. Some students like to work in the library, and some just go to rest in the quiet atmosphere. 36 Science students had wide curriculum While biology students disected worms, and chemistry students learned about the mole (6.02 x 10 23 ), and Physics students struggled through labs, the Earth Science classes surveyed land and held classes at the planetarium. The new addition the science curriculum, earth science, was designed for the student with a great interest in science. The classes spent 5 weeks at the planetarium studying astronomy, and the sky above Merrillville. They also studied geology, taking field trips to such places as the Dunes. The students also surveyed land and anaylized wa- ter samples from various ponds in the area. Above, Brad Lunsford and friend very carefully disect a worm, and below Mr. Yovanovich shows a student how to very carefully pour chemicals. Mr. Banis (above) shows two of his students how to disect the right way. At the left Rhonda McPherson looks puzzled as she tries to figure out what smells. Above, a group of very cold people survey the land around the high school. New equipment arrived for math department The 1976 year was a year of many equipment changes in the math department. The department received all new equipment, calculators, adding machines and scientific typewriters. Along with the new equipment, the department added a new course, College Algebra. The math department enters many students in math con- tests throughout the year. This year the National Math Test was given on March 9th and the Purdue Math Contest was held April 13th. Senior Ed Grabczyk concentrates on a make-up math test he missed in Mr. Hutchinson ' s class. His first year back at Merrillville, math teacher Mr. Brown oversees the work of his algebra class. Mr. Yeoman assists senior Jackie Vician with her math homework, using one of the new calculators. 38 Art Department moved to new facilities Junior Randy Rubin works on his papier-machie bug for his third hour art class. Nineteen seventy six was a big year for the Art Depart- ment. They moved into a new facility called the art loft up- stairs over the band room. There are five rooms specially equiped for drawing, painting, textiles, sculpture and ce- ramics where students now can work in semester elective subjects. Student art work was displayed throughout the school year in showcases and in exhibits held with the mu- sic and Drama groups. In competitive shows Merrillville art students have won top honors: The National Scholastic Art Awards Competition the Tri Kappa Gary and Crown Point Student Shows, the Hammond Art Association High School Art Awards and the Calumet Regional art fair. Senior Alan Satanek works diligently on his sculpture art project unaware of the photographer. Art teacher Mrs. Elenor Lewis puts the final touches on the pirate on the new gym floor. Vi 39 New room enlarged band’s practice area The band benefited greatly from the reconstruction this year. A new year room was built across from the choir room. Included was a large storage room for uniforms and one for instruments. Also eight small practice rooms were built. The choir again went to NISBOVA contest. First place medals were awarded to twenty soloists and eighteen en- sembles. Those receiving a first place in first division trav- eled to Indianapolis for state wide competition. The choir and the band together gave a Christmas perfor- mance for the student body. Mr. Jeruld Reinhart directs the concert choir through a number during their Christmas concert.

(Below) Sophomore Janice Hebert is caught in mid air as she performs on the balance beam. ■ The physical education department faced the problem, “lack of space”, at the beginning of the year. Both soph- omore boys, and girls along with the elective classes were forced to share the girls gym while the Englehart Gym was being renovated. Once the new gym was opened for use, the P.E. classes enjoyed plenty of room for their daily activities. Students also enjoyed new facilities, such as the handball court, weight lifting room, three full length basketball courts, a set of new tennis courts, and an all weather track. Students participated in many sports during the year. Swimming, tennis, flag football, softball, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and track were just a few of the many activities provided by the P.E. Department. A sophomore girls swimming class (above) takes a rest after playing a vig- orous game of water polo.

Photo-journalism taught the amateur photographer all the fundamentals to good picture taking. After watching film- strips and listening to lectures the students were allowed to shoot their own film. There was also a journalism course which covered copy writing, proofreading and magazine layout, giving the stu- dent a basic insight to the field of journalism. Yearbook combined these two types of classes. While the photographers took pictures someone else drew up the lay- outs as still others wrote copy. There were people proof- reading, typing, alphabetizing, looking for the right picture, and running errands. When everyone came together with their job the finished product evolved— your yearbook. Senior Vikki Benjamin (above) bites her lip as she contemplates which pic- ture to use on a page in her academics section.

Under the watchful eye (left) of a stage- craft student, Sheree Sarko tries out the swing the stagecraft classes built for her part in the revue. Stagecraft classes (above) worked hard to com- plete the set for the Christmas concert. Actors built sets, improved techniques To enrich the theater arts, a new type of class was of- fered this year. Acting technique and application in produc- tion was taught. The students practiced impromptu skits in front of the class and were then each assigned to a 1 or 2 act play. They were graded on their acting ability along with their makeup application and costume choice. Some of the smaller acting sets were put up by the stage- craft classes. Stagecraft was designed to teach every as- pect of back-stage work before and during a production. Mr. Morrow’s stagecraft classes built the sets for the class productions and concerts. They learned how to build flats, operate the counter weight system, use follow-spots, and control both sound and lighting. 43 ATHLETICS ‘‘Consider for a moment what we achieve from athletics, ... the sheer fun of playing, ... the building of a healthy and alert mind, . . . stamina, courage, unselfishness and most important, perhaps, ... the will to win.” Robert Kennedy ( 1925 - 1968 ) New coach led gridders to 5-5 year Despite a poor start and little fan en- thusiasm, the 1975 edition of the Mer- rillville Pirate football team proved they could accept defeat and rise above it. After dropping the first three games of the season to Hobart, Lew Wallace, and M.C. Rodgers, the Pirates re- bounded by defeating Chesterton, Portage, crosstown foes Andrean, and arch-rivals Crown Point. After losing to Valparaiso, the Bucs celebrated Homecoming with a victory over Low- ell. The gridmen wrapped up the sea- son by falling to Munster; breaking even with a 5-5 record. An MHS football season is always highlighted with outstanding perfor- mances by individuals, and this year was no exception. Offensively, Woody Melcher churned for 570 yards, mak- ing him the leading Pirate ground gainer. Junior Jeff Parker, and soph- omore Mark Dakich shared the quar- terback spot, and each passed for over 300 yards. Taking honors for team scoring leader were junior Jim Larsen, and senior Marty Lipke, both with 18 points.

The revamping be- gan at the top, as former coach Rich- ard Demaree stepped down as head mentor after 30 years of service. Re- placing him was Coach Ken Haupt, formerly head coach of Cincinatti El- der. Coach Haupt faced a difficult task as he was greeted by new players, coaches, and techniques. The renovation, of course, did not stop with the team, as Demaree Field underwent many changes. Better light- ing, increased seating capacity, a larger pressbox, and improved turf, all marked changes in the field. The schedule also included many new changes, as the Pirates switched from the Lake Suburban to Duneland Conference. The move was intended to present tougher competition, stimu- late new school rivalries, and in- troduce schools with athletic and size similarities as those of Merrillville.

Despite removal of many key players from J-V to Varsity, the J-V gridmen managed a respectable scor- ing total, ground gainage, and a fair defensive unit. The junior footballers dropped their season opener, but followed with a win over Griffith. The J-Vers dropped their next five in a row to M.C. Rogers, Chesterton, Portage, Andrean, and Valparaiso; but picked up a win over Munster. The gridmen closed the season with a ' loss to LaPorte. Coach Cameron commented on the past season, coaching a J-V team is extremely dif- ficult because of constant roster changes and cuts’’. Nevertheless much credit is to be given to the J-V football unit for a good showing under less than ideal conditions. Above: The tough J-V defensive line quickly re- acts to an Andrean snap.

Young harriers gained experience in 1975 Despite a poor record and a dismal season, much can be said of the Merrillville Cross Country team. Once again plagued by inexperience and youth, the Pirates did manage many bright spots in all facets of the event. After dropping their first five dual meets, and finishing 18th in the New Prairie Invitational AAA Division, the Har- riers, under the direction of Coach Miller, managed a win over Wirt, and followed by dropping a double dual, but de- feated Kouts for their last win of the season. “Most Valuable Runner,” Leon Hurlburt, paced the Har- riers along with senior Kevin McDonald. Joe Berger was tagged Most Improved”, while also adding strong perfor- mances were Curt Richter, Jeff Hartwig, John Storia, and George “Lightening” Christoff.

After accepting a 2-0 forfeit form Plainfield, the girls pro- ceeded to defeat Valparaiso and Portage, before dropping a meet to South Ben Clay. The girls finished seventh in the Purple Wave relays, then dropped a meet to Munster before picking up a third place finish in the Elkhart Diving Invitational. The Wavers resumed their winning ways as they won six in a row by defeating Chesterton, Lowell, Crown Point, Michigan City Rogers, Highland, Elkhart Central, and a victory in the Duneland Conference meet. Directly after the Elkhart Central meet, the girl swimmers dropped two, as they lost to South Bend Adams and Lafayette. The girls wrapped up the season with a victory over Ham- mond Gavit. State competition concluded the regular sea- son and the girls picked up a 13th in state competition; a vast improvement over last years 32nd mark. Directing the girls over the ’75 season was Coach Ray Mixell. In his rookie year as head coach, Coach Mixell ele- vated the girls to a conference championship, a barrage of broken records, and a 13th rank in state.

At one point ranked 2nd in state, heavyweight matman Kelly Keough walks off the mat victorious once again. The Merrillville Wrestling team, guided by the brother mentor duo of Tom and Jerry Cameron, along with the J-V guidance of Gerald Ward, directed the matmen to their sec- ond straight sectional title. Responding well were sophomores Ken Turner (98), Brian Shaw (126), Bill Galanos (138), Ted Storey (145), and Brian Woodward (155). Because of the fine soph, perfor- mance the future is obviously bright. We’ve been building in this direction for a couple of years now , said Coach Tom Cameron. Juniors also added their share of excellence as Jim Rongers (1 77) wrestled well, and heavyweight Kelly Keough and his season record of 17-1-1 was feared by many throughout the state. Seniors Glenn Suss (119), and John Kelley (132) added admirable performances. Naturally, this effective com- bination produced a winning season.

Cagers capture conference crown; fall to Munster at sectionals The 1975-76 Varsity basketball team, because of a latter season four game winning streak, including a win over LaPorte, managed a Duneland Confer- ence Championship and evened their regular season record at 10-10. However the flame of success was soon to be extinguished as the Pirates dropped their opening sectional game to the eventual Calumet Sectional champion— Munster Mustangs. De- spite a gallant third quarter 25 point, come-from-behind effort, that at one point, thrust the Bucs into the lead, it was soon chipped away at and lost en- tirely into a 13 point defeat. Parked 5-5 at midseason, the Pirate roundballers, after defeating Hobart, skidded into a five game losing streak as they fell to Andrean, M.C. Elston, Crown Point, Griffith, and Bishop Noll, only to turn around just as abruptly and defeat Munster, Portage, Chester- ton, and LaPorte, all key conference games, enabling them to capture the conference crown. Perhaps one of the greatest assets for the 75-76 team, and for teams to come, is the newly-completed Engle- hart Gymnasium that can accomodate 3000 people.

Despite two early three game skids, the J-Ver’s remained fairly consistent. Paced by Jeff Markle, who led the shooting attack, Ed Krol and Roger Rister who managed rebounding chores, Dave Hurst who jockied at center, the JVers yielded a well- rounded attack. The latter half of the season was highlighted by a seven game winning streak, as the Junior-Varsity round- ballers ran down Michigan City Elston, Crown Point, Griffith, Hammond Noll, Munster, Portage and Chesterton. Commenting on the successful con- clusion, Coach Joe Huber stated that “hard work and high team morale both were key factors”.

Amassing a four meet win streak at the beginning of the season, including wins over conference foes Portage and LaPorte, the Bucs dropped meets to South Bend Adams and Munster. However, the Mermen quickly re- bounded by handing M.C. Rogers and Chesterton respective losses. Tying Bishop Noll, Merrillville followed with a win over Valpo and Penn. Dropping five in a row, the Pirates bounced back by downing Crown Point and Warren Central.

Starting off on a fast pace, the girl thinclads downed Whiting and Wirt in a triangular meet and placed 8th in the 14 school West Side Invitational; after which they notched a couple of con- ference wins and were 7-5 overall by midseason. Personal achievement was also noted at this time, as Mary Ellen Gavin set a record of 12.0 in the 80 yd. hur- dles; JoAnn Lipski clocked in at 1:02.1 in the 440 run; Carolyn Monyak greeted a time of 2:45.5 in the 880 run.

Mickie Korac, Cathy Curtis, Gail Zeheralis, Val Pappas, and Estelle Psimos all returned with letters to pace the consistant netters. Competing against a variety of teams throughout the Calumet Region, the girls downed both conference and non-conference foes alike. The future remains extremely bright for the team as only two girls will be leaving. As Coach Bergman stated, We’re going to have a tough team next year!’’ Number one singles performer Mickie Korac regular season at 9-2 against Duneland confer- serves against Valparaiso.

Junior lettermen Greg St. Germain, Eric Vail, Jim Jan- nasch, and Bob Mihalic also added to the winning cause.

High- lighted by exceptional performances and outstanding team effort, the cin- dermen managed a respectable 5th place finish in the Duneland Confer- ence meet. Placing third in the Munster Indoor Relay, the Pirate thinclads followed with a ninth in the Bishop Noll Relays and third in the Hammond Tech-An- drean meet before dropping their first and second dual meets of the season to M.C. Rogers and Portage respec- tively. After notching a sixth in the An- drean Relays and a second at Chester- ton, the Pirates dropped two conference meets to LaPorte and Valparaiso. The Bucs came on strong the latter half of the season, as they managed a third at both the Hobart Little 5 and Chesterton, a second at Delphi, and third at Griffith and Hammond Clark. Among outstanding individual per- formances was Craig Poropat who was a triple winner in several dual meets and a double winner at the conference.

A total of eight returning letterman laid the foundation for the Pirate batsmen, as seniors Mark Blane, Artie Nuzzo, Dan Kuzma, Kevin McDonald, Bill Rathjen, Bob Zajac, Larry Lilly, and junior Rob Blagg all returned to bolster the attack. Probably stronger at the plate than in the field, the Pirates displayed ferocious hitting throughout the bulk of the season. New to the Pirates this year was the changing of section- als.

To increase council attendance and school- wide participation, student council meetings were held at various hours during the school day. An active Student Council this year resulted in answers to many student demands. For the non-smoker, an area was provided op- posite the smoking area. Any student could re- treat there during activity period for a breath of fresh air with no cigarette smoke to bother them. Student Council was also instrumental in the return of “Spirit Week . All “spirited students spent 3 unofficial hours on Presidents Day at school decorating the halls to correspond with their class themes. Once again the homecoming festivities were sponsored by the student council, under the di- rection of Mrs. Schmidt. The parade, powderpuff games, bonfire, and dance were all a part of many hours of careful planning. 1975-76 Student Council Officers: (top to bot- tom); Martha Foster, Secretary; Mike Cloyd, President; Jim Waters, Vice President; Stephanie Doyle, Treasurer. 88 National Honor Society NHS pumped Gas for Funds National Honor Society: (Back to Front), left to right; Lester Richter, Walter Piechocki, Terri Wil- son, Lena Lozanoski, Mary Lipton, Annette Wil- liamson, JoAnne Eich. 2nd row; Jeff Bianchi, Greig Crowder, Bob Oljace, Randy Tasseff, Tim Whetzel, Larry Lilley. 3rd row; Mark Blane, Chuck Allen, Milan Milivojevic, John Zorich, Dave Sharp, Julie Carr. 4th row; Darlene Fectic- ich, JoAnn Lipski, Monica Wise, Shirley Gibbons, Nick Kottis, Mary Dinatale. 5th row; Kathy Po- laski, Sandy Thorsteinson, Susan Dolatowski, Julie Saavedra, Julie Metz, John Kelly. 6th row; Pam Neal, Candy Haberkron, Katerina An- dreatos, Jackie Vician, Andrea Dinatalie, Lana Tyler.

To stay in the honor society the student must maintain their grades and comply with all rules. All members are required to wear their pins on Wednesdays or pay a small fine. National Honor Society held one fund raising project. The club took over a gas station and pumped gas with profits going to them. Two members from each chapter of the Society were eligible for Scholar- ships starting at $1,000. 89 Speech and Debate Speakers and Debators Took Many Honors Talking their way through the year was the job of the speech club and the debate team. The speech team made an impres- sive showing at the first meet of the year with Mary Lipton receiving a fifth place in poetry reading. Merrillville was well represented at Thornridge in No- vember and North Judson and Ches- terton in December. The speech students also entered the local Voice of Democracy Contest, with Stacey Moses being declared win- ner by the judges. Stacey was honored at a banquet at San Remo’s restau- rant, receiving a trophy, medal, and certificate of achievement for herself and school. Merrillville also competed in the Knights of Columbus Oratorical Con- test with the topic “200 years— America As It Is and As It Should Be. The speech club attended their 3rd annual Indiana State Oratorical Inter- pretation Festival in April. The debate team retained their same debate topic for all of their meets. The team choose as their topic: The De- velopment and Allocation of Scarce World Resources Should be Con- trolled by an International Organization. The team began the season by go- ing to the first Calumet Forensic League. They discussed their topic at Highland and debated with Morton and Chesterton high schools. The team came out even for the season. 1975-76 MHS DEBATE TEAM: (left to right) Mike Nommenson, Mrs Armstrong, Tammy Kirby, Mark Wilkens, Betty Lipton, Mary Lipton, Mrs. Hurt, Joann Eich, Andy Kyres. 90 1975-76 Quill and Scroll: (left to right); Jeff Wil- liams, Tom Dogan, Pat Hasset, Joyce Evans, Ronda Burris, Bill Jones, Lori Patton, Dave Adams, Nadine Branch, Butch Haviza, Dean Wilson Yearbook and Quill and Scroll Yearbook Pushed to Meet Deadlines 1975-76 Yearbook: (left to right) row 1; Kim Dobis, Vikki Benjamin, Joyce Evans, Tom Dogan, row 2; Lori Adams, Micki Korac, Jodi Sydes, Ke- vin Spurlock, Kathy Krafft, Tim Nay. row 3; Bill Stephan, Kathy Solich, Mark Blane, Pat Hasset, Doug Charochak, Kevin Heylin, Bill Jones, Sally Schiesser, Diane Moore.

Section editors were appointed and everyone began drawing layouts and writing copy. Photographers were al- ways kept busy taking pictures for someone. In late May proofs were sent back and double checked for any errors. The book came out at the end of the summer, late enough to include the entire 1975-76 school year but early enough for most 76 grads to have their books in hand before going to college. draw next on her final layout.

French Club Captured First Place on Float The French club had a good start this year when its float, featuring a huge guilotine, placed first in the homecoming parade. The active club members, along with their guests, went to view the Christ- mas Around the World display in Chi- cago. They highlighted the evening by dining in an exclusive French restau- rant. Other club outings included seeing a French play in Chicago and going to the French festival in Febru- ary. In March all club members got to- gether for a fondue party. During the school year French club sold taffy apples and candy to raise money for their various activities. To close an active year a banquet was held at a French restaurant to honor all outgoing and incoming officers. 1975-76 French Club: front row, (left to right): Sandy Cippollone, Cathy Julovich, Sue Kujaca (historian), Jackie Jarosak (secretary), Evy An- dreatos (president), Terri Jiminez (vice presi- dent), Vanessa Brasich (treasurer), row 2; Janice Hebert, Pauline Manilovich, Lena Lozanowski, Joyce Lagenoek, Judy Lipske, Sujata Somani, Mary Puntillo, Betty Lipton. row 3; Robert Brooks, Patty Ferkull, Ellen Vossos, Wendy Mees, Katerina Andreatos, Robin Withers, Chris Souronis, Mrs. Callander (sponsor). 92 German club president Mary Lipton shows Sim- one Saberniak and other club members the flag of Germany.

To raise money for their many activi- ties, the German Club sold candy throughout the year. The club donated any extra money they had to the IU Honors Program, a program designed to send students to Germany to do more in-depth study of the German people, their language, and their country. In December the club made a trip to Chicago to view the Christmas Around the World” display. In March all club members got together for a bowling party. The German club tried something different this year. They took short skits such as “Hansel and Gretel , and rewrote them in German. After many hours of rehearsal they performed for the Convelescent Home. To close the year a banquet was held at a German restaurant in Chicago. 93 Letterman Club Speeches Taught Sportsmanship The Letterman’s Club this year was under the direction of coach Lee McCloud and coach Ken Haupt. They started out the year with a talk from coach Haupt about winning athletics. The winter activities of the club were tobaggoning followed by an ice skat- ing party. In the spring a picnic was held at Lemop Lake and further talks by vari- ous coaches were held. At the last home basketball game of the season all the members of Let- terman’s club were introduced. 1975-76 Letterman: front row (left to right); Larry Flynn, Kevin Keough, Cathy Curtis, Jeff Bianchi, Dave Schaetzel, Kevin McDonald, Jim Rongers. row 2; Kelly Keough, Leslie Mack, Heidi Kem- perle, Kim Millus, Rick Jelesky, Scott Anderson, Jim Larson, Michell Tully. row 3; Donn Mo- hammed, Bill Rathjen, Larry Lilly, Georgine Schmidt, Judy Lipski, Nancy Dumond, Joanne Lipski, Marty Lipke, Jeff Parker, row 4; John Stroia, Leon Hurlburt, Lori Oriscani, Kim Mihalic, Tim Bires, Steve Martin, Rob Bernal, John Kel- ley, Dean Neff, row 5; Mark Dakich, Tim Seneff, Nick Rusak, Doug Miller, Randy Shuman.

In October many days were spent working on decorations for a home- coming car entry. Then, to get into the holiday spirit, Spanish club members went Christmas caroling. In February an “eat-in” was held. Club members made various Spanish dishes and had a smorgosboard. A bowling party was also held at the end of the month. To end the year the Spanish club went to Turkey Run. 1975-76 Spanish Club: front row (left to right); Kenny Turner, Mrs. Bertram (sponsor), Linda Castellanos, JoAnn Eich. row 2; Tim Pavelka, Rhonda Demo, Diane Dawson, Blanche Nas- tovski, Tina McEllis, Sue Dolatowski, Carol Pleva. row 3; Pam Gibson, Carol Kendron, Tom Gruber, Karen Gicks, Pat Collie, Jean Pappas, Cathy Klepack, Debbie West. 95 Pom Port Girls Pirateers Performed at Holdiay Concert Among the many extra-curricular ac- tivities during the year, the Merrillville Pirateers devoted much of their time to parades, concerts, and athletic events. With Mrs. Diane Rusak as their in- structor, the Pirateers learned march- ing formations for the homecoming pa- rade. They also learned routines for football and basketball games. The highlight of the year was at the Christmas concert when the group performed as elves, toys, and dancers. As a class assignment each girl had to make up a routine set to music. 1975-76 Pom Pon girls: row 1; Cindy Monyok. row 2; Cathy Curtis, Micki Broadway, Cathy Can- diano, Cheryl Ray, Cindy Mitchell, Rhonda McPhearson. row 3: Terena Chiado, Cindy Jones, Sheree Flynn, Pam Kunstack, Sheree Bonich. row 4; Jeanette Dudak, Kathy Kerstaff, Kathy Rendinia, Cara Springman, Marian Tica. row 5; Rose Galic, Mrs. Rusak. row 6; Julie Du- dak, Paula Titak, Monica Schleicher, Sue Kapi- tan, Tula Kostandios, Donna Berget. row 7; Renee Chenor, Karen Cioni, Sally Samarja, Barb Summers, DeDe Hirsch. row 8; Shirley Tucker, Toni Jiminez, Judi Smith, Debbie O ' rear, Kathy Krafft, Kathy Perry, row 9; Kathy Solich.

To start the school year off, members became “elves” for teachers and the administration. An elf gave her faculty members gifts on holi- days or just little friendly hellos throughout the year. “Crystal Dreams” was the chosen name for the 1976 Turnabout held on January 24th. On February 13th the members gave a Valentine’s party for the special Ed children at Fieler School. Each child received a gift, ice cream, and cookies. Among other activities was a bonfire in November, the Teachers Breakfast in April, the annual banquet in May with the installation of new officers and cadet teaching in the spring. The year ended with the “elves” re- vealing themselves to their teachers. Homemakers Sold Stationary Under the supervision of Mrs. Seale, the Future Homemakers learned the essentials of good sewing techniques as well as good cooking habits. With the new sewing labs the girls were able to learn how to sew on the newer model machine. The updated cooking labs enabled the club members to test a bigger variation of dishes. The club ' s annual money making project was selling stationery. 1975-76 FHA: (left to right) Debbie Irons, Rhonda Strboc.

For 75 years the clubs motto has been “Others’’ and they carry the emblem of the rising sun. Mrs. Bovard acted as sponsor of the active Sunshine Society. In October they entered a car in the homecoming parade and went to a distrcit conven- tion. In November the sunshine girls chose as their fund raising project to sell bicentennial pins. Also for the first time they put together a basket at Thanksgiving for the needy. Along with FTA the Sunshiners hos- ted a Christmas party for their local charity, the Trade Winds. As a new project this year the girls sold carnations for valentines day. If the receiving boy or girl wanted to know who bought them the flower, they had to pay for the information. For their march activity the sunshine girls made a visit to their state charity, Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. The Sunshine Society ended their active year with a mother-daughter banquet and installation of new officers. 1975-76 Sunshine Society: front row (left to right); Sue Wirtes, Mary Rztelney, Cathy Klepack, Monica Wirtes, Cheryl Miller, Mrs. Bovard. row 2; Linda Castellanos, Patty Klepack, Nancy Martin, Evy Andreatos, Rhonda Burris, Rosemary Cioe, Pam Pluth, Lana Tyler. 98 Bookstore Bookstore kept Students Supplied Remodeling this year brought the students a bigger and better book- store. Folders, typing paper, and oil paint could be purchased before school, during activity period, and on lunch hours. Working in the bookstore gave students a chance to meet and talk to many people and also gave them experience working with money.

They attended the Indiana High School Science Fair. The members were asked to assist 5th and 6th grade stu- dents on their science projects, giving ideas wherever possible. The science club did many experi- ments in biology and chemistry. They tried to answer questions about tem- perature, light, and energy ratios. Much investigation was done on earth formation, in conjunction with the earth science classes. 1975-76 Science Club: (left to right): Kurt Dun- sor).

The 1975-76 Choral Season came into full swing with their annual money making project. This year the choir did something new and sold tupperware which proved to be a success. The annual Christmas Concert which was held two nights combined the voices of the concert choir, girl’s glee and vocalteens. For the first time WFLM taped the Christmas concert and played it on their radio station De- cember 23. The choirs traveled to the Southlake mall December 17 and sang a portion of their Christmas selections. On De- cember 18 the choirs again combined voices and gave a convocation for the student body. January 18 the concert choir sang 3 selections for the first mid-term graduation. January 31 marked the district solo and ensemble contest, held at Lew Wallace. The choirs entered with 70 solos, 25 piano solos, and 22 en- sembles, the most entries in the choir history. All first place winners in first division traveled to Butler University for the State Solo and Ensemble Contest. After practicing for 2 months, March 12 marked the annual Choral Festival which was held at Hobart. Seven high school choirs combined, practiced for almost 7 hours, and gave a perfor- mance that evening. In May the choir held their annual banquet and gave out gag awards and pins.

Mr. Frank Meltzer directed the band in a two hour commerative concert while the art department supplied works which expressed their interest in the Bicentennial celebration. Once again the band participated in the NISBOVA contests, capturing a record number of firsts in solo and en- semble competition. All first place win- ners went on to state competition. Two money making projects were held to raise funds for new equipment. The band sold community calanders and citrus fruits. Both proved successful. To close the year the band held their annual banquet, honoring outstanding members. 104 played way 75-76 year 1 row 1; Patty Miller, Lana Tyler, Patty Klepack, Sue Soberjaiski, Maria Manoloivic, Mark Torp. row 2; Riki Freeman, Thalia Demitrakis, Lori Mel- tzer, Linda Hartman, Martha Foster, Donna Jae- ger, Pauleen Manivilovich, Lisa Kaley. 2) 1975-76 Pep Band at a home game. 3) row 1 ; Lee White, Chris Kruzan, Ed Mains, Paul Kusemka, Dave Soberijaski, Jack Haymes, Jack Hostetler. 4) row 1 ; Cheryl Miller, Jodi Sydes, Dale Metcalf, Lori Surprise, Jill Beilfuss, Lynn Shafchuk, Joy Cum- mins, Karen Vin zani. row 2; Lynn Vagnone, Nancy Martin, Jamie Richardt, Ronda Strbac, Audre Swartout, Pat Reed, Carry Taber, Vicki Hawkins, Dawn Schutic, Brenda Denton, Donna Campbell. 5) row 1; Lori Hancock, Simone Sa- berniak, Monica Suss, Debbie West, Claudia Pawl, row 2; Tim Brooks, Janice Ruble, Karen Dockweiler, llene Hicks. 6) row 1 ; Greg Crowder, Mike Cloyd, Steve Robinson, row 2; Dale Tucker, Jeannen Gorgas, Dave Shepard, Terry Stanton, Scott Carnegie, Jim Foster. 7) row 1; David Sharp, Shelia DeLaRosa, JoAnn Roberts, April Oliver, Bill Swanson, Jeff Brant, Mike Hemmes. 8) row 1; Curt Dundelberger, Sue Bowser, Jan- net Dudak, Carol Hancock, Ken Bolvin. row 2; Sue Neville, Rick Malec, Scott Duncan, Tracy Collins, Dan Lehman.

With their cheers they helped to create an atmosphere of spirit and excitement throughout the entire gym. The JV girls attended football, bas- ketball, wrestling, and all other athletic events to give their support to their JV men. The girls attended summer camp to learn new cheers and formations for pep assemblies. Reaching for success are the Varsity Cheer- leaders (left to right); Micki Korac, Jill Mitchell, Evy Andreatos, Candy Haberkorn, Shirley Gib- bons, and Chelle Human. Varsity Cheerleaders Increase in school spirit shown The 1975-76 Cheerleaders were originally to have been three girls and three guys for fall and winter sports, and six other people for spring sports. Due to the lack of participation on the guys part the two sets of girl cheer- leaders united and became one group for all sports. The Varsity Cheerleaders attended a summer seminar to brush up on their formations and learn some new cheers. The girls displayed their tal- ents at all varsity events as well as at the pep sessions. 1975-76 JV and Varsity Cheerleaders: (left to right): row 1, Jill Mitchell, Kerry Keough, Micki Korac, Donna Johnston, Shirley Gibbons, row 2; Carry Pieske, Evy Andreatos, Lynn Vaganone. row 3; Janet Montgomery, Chelle Human, top; Candy Haberkorn. 107 After-school jobs occupied free time With the state of the economy in such bad shape, jobs were hard to come by for everyone. Anyone who was planning on going to college had to begin job-hunting even earlier than usual. Students be- gan looking for jobs near the end of their sophomore or in their junior year. The building of Southlake Mall helped the student job-hunters immen- sely. Throughout the course of the year more stores opened in the mall giving more of a selection as well as a better chance of getting hired somewhere. 108 Service with a smile at Hickory Farms in she offers to help find just the right cheese for Southlake Mall from Senior Mary Ellen Gaivn, as her next customer.

All, all are gone, the old familiar faces. Charles Lamb ( 1775 - 1834 ) 1975-76 brought changes in personnel and facilities for administrators The 1975-76 school marked Dr. Donn Kaupke’s fourth year as Superin- tendent in the Merrillville Community School Corporation (renamed after last year). His fourth year saw many changes both in facilities and personnel. The new administrative offices lo- cated north of the high school opened late in the ’74-75 school year. Besides new facilities for the entire adminis- trative staff, the new building houses the School Board meeting room. Changes in personnel saw Mr. Oscar Boswell replace Dr. Lloyd Harrell as assistant superintendent for personnel and curriculum. Mr. Boswell moved up to the assistant superintendent’s job after serving as an elementary princi- pal and elementary coordinator in Mer- rillville for many years. Mr. Ted Klooster came to Merrillville to replace Dr. Mundy who resigned at the close of last year to accept a su- perintendnet’s job out of state. Mr. Klooster serves as business manager for the Merrillville School system. Mrs. Artie Taseff was named elemen- tary coordinator, replacing Mr. Boswell at that job. She had been an assistant principal at Iddings Elementary. New offices housed the administration in this new facility, as viewed from the high school. Dr. Donn Kaupke, superintendent, completed his fourth year as superintendent in Merrillville. Mr. Ted Klooster began his first year at Mer- rillville in the position of business manager. The Merrillville Community School Board this year was made up of (left to right) Ron Jones; Mr. Oscar Boswell moved from elementary coordinator to assistant superintendent this year. Mrs. Artie Taseff became elementary coordinaotr, after serving as assistant princi- pal at Iddings. Maynard Krueger; Arthur Collins, president; Robert Klepack; and Phyllis Tulley. New offices and high school rennovation highlighted ’76 school year Mr. Robert Clark completed his third year at the helm of Merrillville High School in 1976. Assistant Principal Marie Spurr pauses from her work to be photographed. The high school offices moved across the hall auditorium was. The new facilities were built in 1975, occupying the space where the old with expansion in mind. As principal of Merrillville High School, Robert Clark completed his third year in 1976. His third year saw several changes both in the high school itself and in the policies covering the school. Rennovation began during the 1974-75 year and was completed during the ’75-76 year. The ren- novation included complete remodeling of many rooms, the gymnasium, and the addition of art and shop areas. Slight policy changes made the year interesting as well. The at- tendance policy and suspension policy were both altered slightly. Mr. John Stone again served in the position of assistant principal, his fifth year in that capacity. He was kept quite busy with the at- tendance work. Mrs. Marie Spurr was the third member of the high school ad- ministration, completing her third year as assistant principal while working on her doctorate at In- diana State University. Mr. John Stone works on some attendance fig- ures in his new office. 113 Secretaries, aids made offices run smoothly Secretaries, teacher’s aids, and library aids all helped to make MHS run smoothly in 1975. In the guidance office, Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Hogan guided students through scheduling, while Mrs. Solich, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Nevelle helped in the library. The high school office was “wom- aned” by six familiar faces as Mrs. Richter, Mrs. Nixon and Mrs. Halkais kept the teacher’s aid room and the sit and think” (study hall) room operational. Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Hogan pause in their work in the Guidance Office. Their work inc luded help with scheduling and the curriculum guide.

Custodial, cafe crews grew in 1975 Keeping the school in good shape ; for students and faculty fell upon the shoulders of the custodial crew. The majority of the crew worked in the eve- nings, cleaning the building and pre- paring it for the next day’s activities. The custodial crew grew in 1 975 to ac- comodate the increased size of the building. The cafeteria staff headed by Mrs. Mary Cloyd again kept MHS student ' s stomachs full at noon.

The students pictured on these pages repre- sent the top 5 percent of their graduating class. These 30 people maintained the high educational standards of Mer- rillville High School, and joined their former classmates in showing people outside Merrillville High School that MHS has its fine young adults too. The top 30 students listed here are shown in alphabetical order. It was not the intent to show class rank, but to honor those students who excelled during their high school careers.
