The school marquee informs everyone of Merrill- volvement Day, which proved again to be a great ville High School ' s third annual Community In- success. 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.

Sophomores made it “Cheaper” After hours of rehearsals, tons of make-up, and opening night jitters, the Sophomore’s first production, “Cheaper by the Dozen,” proved itself a success. 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.
