Special days involved parents, students Two days were set aside this year as replacement days. The first day was Community Involvement Day when stu- dents were allowed to have adults take their place. The other was Student Gov- ernment Day in which Merrillville High School students were allowed to fill vari- ous positions in the Merrillville schools and community. Community Involvement Day for the fourth year gave adults a chance to see what school days consist of. For some, just opening their lockers and getting to class on time was a big task, while others seemed to just blend right in doing as- signments and taking notes. The school day was very long for some adults and made them appreciate their student ' s days even more. Student Government Day was finally held on February 18, after being called off because of bad weather. Student Council sponsored this day selecting stu- dents to fill various positions. This day gave students a chance to experience different jobs in the school system and throughout the community.

The se- niors took first place in powder puff competition by downing the juniors. At the pep session Friday senior Kelly Keough was named Mr. Football.
