It is now September, signaling the start of another school year. What will it be like? Every student has his or her own dreams and hopes of the year which lies ahead. Sophomores . . . some- what afraid, yet excited about going to the high school. “It’s so big, I’ll prob- ably get lost. Classes, there are so many things to re- member, I know I’ll flunk my English class. I hear they pile on the homework. I won’t know anybody there, I’ll never see any of my old friends. What am I gonna do? So much more freedom, but with freedom comes re- sponsibility? Can I handle it?” Juniors . . . Already estab- lished in their patterns of study, of friendships and of behavior. “This year is gonna be a lot of fun. The dances, the football games, the parties. I’ve sure missed my friends over the summer but, now that I have my li- cense we’ll go everywhere! What will prom be like? Just think, only one more year before I’m a senior!” 3 WHAT OT W0H1L H Then, only too soon it happens . . . Senior year. Couldn’t wait for it to come and now so much is happen- ing, so many decisions, the years just went too fast. “Am I ready for it? To be on my own? To do what I want? Total confusion! It’s fright- ening to think that this is the year which may determine what the rest of my life will be like. What will it be? Col- lege, marriage, vocational school? I’m too young to make all these decisions. Graduation, will I laugh or cry? Will I keep my friends after high school? W hat am I gonna do?” Dazed and con- fused! It sure seems to fit. Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. All combine to form one student body. So much alike yet so different. Each individual has his or her dreams and hopes of the year that lies ahead. 4 Upper left: Senior Tim Rogers. Far left: Junior Powderpuff team. Middle left: Sophomore Mitch Best talks with a friend.

Starting the quick chain of events was the parade which featured the class floats, the high school march- ing band, the class powder puff teams, and the queen candidates. Following the parade was the ex- citement of the powder puff games. By defeating the sophomores the ju- niors had an opportunity to play the seniors. Seniors won the game 16-0 with help from the quickness of Kim Leposky scoring the two touch- downs and Cindy Mitchell adding the two extra points. Friday was the pep session where there was much hope and excitment of winning the game against Portage. Adding to the excitement was the announcement of Tim Seneff as Mr. Football.

Homecoming It Was pep sessions, floats, powder 10 Homecoming puff teams, and a formal dance Friday night everyone headed to- wards Demaree Field to watch the fighting Merrillville Pirates scalp the Portage Indians 34-7. During halftime, Claudia Pawl was named the 1977-1978 homecoming queen. Saturday was an enjoyable evening as many couples settled down to an evening of dancing in the Merrillville cafeteria. The theme of the dance was “You Light Up My Life”. Homecoming 11 It was S.S.S. Initiation During the year the MHS Sunshine Society does it’s part in serving the community. In November a Thanksgiv- ing basket was given to a needy family. In December Sunshiners went caroling at Maple Manor and St. Anthony’s. They also had a Christmas party for the children at Trade Winds. Sunshi- ners also do many other things throughout the school year and are glad when their efforts are received with such happiness. Sunshiners feel that their aim is reached when they have shared some sunshine! Top: Sunshiners Dana Zaradich, Karen Valant, Debbie Homier, and Pam Beck served refresh- ments during their initation.

Led by All-Staters Mike Chelovich and Tim Seneff, the Pirates defense allowed only 33 points, shutting out opponents five times while giving up only one touchdown the other five outings. Se- nior Mark Meechia also received All- Conference honors along with Seneff and Chelovich. The offense, led by Tom Szmagaj piled up a total of 243 points on their way to their perfect sea- son. Among Szmagaj’s accomplish- ments was making the All-State Team, the All-Conference scoring title (66 points), and being voted Duneland Conference most valuable player. Co- captain Larry Tharp also made the All- State and All-Conference Teams for his offense accomplishments. The Pi- rates finished the regular season ranked first in the coaches poll and second in the writers Poll.

Varsity Football 15 Nothing Lasts Forever The highly ranked and favored Pi- rates were upset by the number ten Portage Indians 3 to 0 in the sectional football playoff game. In front of 7,000 fans, the Pirates played an all defen- sive game only to be scoreless until less than a minute left in the fourth quarter. The Indians recovered a fumbled punt by the Pirates leaving the game open for the Indians. The Pirates were soon to see their first defeat of the season in eleven games. Three plays later with only fifteen seconds remaining, the Portage kicker hit a completed twenty- five yard field goal. Even though the Pirates lost, they totally dominated the game on offense and defense as they outnumbered Portage on offense 235 yards to Portages 88 with a respectful secondary allowing a total of eight yards on the passes.

Three of the four wins coming in the last three games of the season. Their biggest win was over cross town rival Andrean, 21-7.

The girl’s varsity basketball team worked hard to achieve their 13-5 season record, and 4-2 conference record. Sectionals were next on the agenda. The girls won the first game against Lake Station and then had to face highly favored Andrean. Despite a loss to Andrean in the regular season, the girls went on to defeat the Niners and to take the sectional crown.

After win- ning the opening match to Knox, the girls then lost four in a row only to bounce back against conference rival, Chesterton. The other highlights of the season were the matches against M.C. Marquette and against Hobart where the girls kept their scores low enough to come out ahead. Julie Wallin went on to win the duneland conference award. At the awards banquet, Karen Ius- sig and Cheryl Sweat both received the best mental attitude award while Kathy Jannasch was presented with the low medalist award and Kari Anderson was voted most improved.

The traveling trophy, which is sponsored by the Duneland Confer- ence, includes the following sports: cross country, tennis, football, wres- tling, basketball swimming, track, baseball and golf. Merrillville won: Football, Coach Ken Haupt; Wrestling, Coach Tom Cameron; Basketball, Coach Jim Ver- million; Swimming, Coach Lee McCloud; and Baseball, Coach William Metcalf in a tie with LaPorte.

Lower right: Students in Spanish 3 and 4 relax a bit after going over some twisty pronounciations. Communication and the ability to understand one another is a growing concern for successful business, politi- cal as well as for personal reasons. The Foreign Language Department strives for students’ mastery of a particular language, through reading, writing and conversation. Offered to students was Spanish, German and French, ranging from first to fourth year. Com- prehension and pronounciation are stressed, and later, novels and in-depth cultural reports are done. For the col- legebound or just interested student, the Foreign Language courses repre- sent a good background which can prove to be an asset in anyone’s future career. 26 Foreign Language Class Discussions Highlight Social Studies Social Studies is a broad field that offers many opportunities for growth. And our Social Studies Department is no exception. Besides the required U.S. History, Government and Econ classes, there were courses which delve deeper in historic and social events. Dis- cussions urging class participation have replaced demanding names and dates. Instead, instructors placed the accent on concepts and ideas, and thus, making history more interesting for students. Some more specified classes included Values and Issues, History of War and Psychology. Such courses took a closer look at the development of men and nations. So no matter where the questions came from, the is- sue could find answers in the Social Studies Department.

Their many mis- haps and many adventures added to the amusement of the play written by Cornelius Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough. The play was directed by Miss Judy Mortell. She was assisted by Kathy Puntillo, student director; Bridget Hamang and Terry Stanton, senior re- hearsal assistants.

Sophomore play 31 It Was: “ Candy Cane Love ” The Future Teachers of America once again sponsored the annual turn- a-bout dance. “Candy Cane Love” was the theme selected by FTA members. Once a year, girls are able to ask their favorite guy out on a date. The only sti- pulation is that the girls have to pay for tickets and pictures. Personalized candy canes decorated the walls for each couple that attended. “Friends” provided the music. After the dance, most couples went their separate ways for an enjoyable dinner.

These pep sessions recog- nized all boys and all girls sports. The cheerleaders performed cheers to back the teams while many members of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes competed in skits to help their class win the spirit stick. At Demaree field there was a com- munity pep session when the Merrill- ville football team played Munster. An added attraction was the plane that flew over the field that read, “Mer- rillville Boosters say: Go Big Pirates, beat Munster. You’re 1”. Above: Mary Beth Gavelek, Carol Jones.

They are one of the two schools in Indiana to try a new physical education pro- gram called Cardio Systems Curricu- lum Lab. This program deals with the improvement of the muscular system, the cardio vascular system, and the res- piratory system. The program also shows the changes in certain body functions such as blood pressure and heart rate after doing exercises. NBC visited Merrillville High School for a day to find out just how the unique lab works. Miss Joanne Schafer and Dr. Hill told the workings of the lab while many Merrillville physical education students demon- strated the program. It was shown on the five o’clock news. 34 NBC Four Flyers named to All-Star Team Merrillville’s hockey team, coached by Chris Petroff, had a fine season. The hockey team has a quite different type of schedule than most other sports in Merrillville High School. They played against Lake Central, Thornewood, T.F. South, Munster, Andrean, Hobart, Bishop Noll, and St. Francis De Sales, each three times. The highlight of the season was when Merrillville beat one- time State Champion Andrean. At the end of the season, Paul Wroblewski, Jeff Guenther, Todd Speer and Andy Speer were all nomi- nated to the Northern Indiana Hockey League All-Star Team.

This inconvenience turned out for the better because more Merrillville High School alumnus who attend college were able to be present at the concert at the postponed date. The program be- gan with the Merrillville Concert Band, under the direction of Mr. Frank Mel- tzer. Pom-pon girls joined the band with dances to “Star Wars,” “March of the Wooden Soldiers,” and Nutcra- cker Suite.” The band also had a spe- cial attraction, a flute trio which played “Dance of the Reed Pipes.” The second part of the program, under the direction of Mr. Reinhart, consisted of the Concert Choir, the Vocalteens, the Velveteens, and the Girls Glee. The highly recognized choral groups sang such songs as “White Christmas,” “Simple Holiday Joys,” and “Snow, Snow, Snow.” The program ended with audience participation to the singing of Handel’s “Hallejuah Chorus.” Upper right: Mr. Reinhart leads the concert choir.

Many students applied for positions within the community and several school systems. Steve Foremski, head of the project, along with several other student coun- cil members, looked through the appli- cations to fill the positions needed. Several students spent their day at the Administration Building while many others stayed at Merrillville High School and played the roles of princi- pals, counselors, and secretaries. The day proved to be both success- ful and enjoyable. Many students were able to take a break from the usual school routine while also learning about the different aspects of jobs for their future careers. Top left: Pam Mishler, Sue Waichulas.

Student Involvement day 37 Industrial Arts Bring Forth Tradesmen With our society becoming more mechanical and technical every year, it is becoming increasingly important for many more tradesmen and technicians. Our Industrial Arts Department pro- vides students with the opportunity to develop manual skills and learn to op- erate various kinds of equipment. There was a wide choice of areas of- fered as Technical Drawing, Metals, Welding, Electronics, Graphic Arts, and Auto, Wood and Machine Shops. Each was designed to give the class as much time as needed to master their skill. If it’s a career in mind, or just tin- kering around the home, such skills will always be handy.

More and more young men and women are opting for a career in the home and or parenthood. The Merrillville Home Ec classes aim to teach funda- mentals which can apply later as well as now in bettering their current fam- ily situations. Child Development in- vites young children regularly as classes put their lessons to practical use. Food and Nutrition, Textiles and Clothing, and Family Management taught basic skills that all future home- makers need to plan and run a smooth and happy home environment. In these days of high inflation and rising di- vorce rates, such courses are a plus to today’s students for a better tomorrow.

Cagers have best team since ’ 40 ’ s For those people who watched the basketball team play this year, they saw history being made right before their eyes. Coach Vermillion’s cagers won their first thirteen contests, including victories over tenth ranked Elkhart Central and cross town rival Andrean. The Pirates suffered their first loss at M.C. Rogers when the Raiders came from seven points behind to win 63-62 in the last 49 seconds of the game. The Bucs second loss came at the hands of the Highland Trojans, but not before upsetting highly rank Gary Roosevelt and knocking off LaPorte to win the Duneland Conference Championship. The 1978 Boy’s basketball team was by far the best team ever. Led by Se- nior Jeff Markle, the Pirates finished the season with a 19-3 record. Markle, himself was named to the All-State All-Area teams. He also was named MVP in the Duneland Conference. Ju- nior Tom Jelesky also received Dune- land Conference honors. Senior guard Ed Krol was named to the All-Aca- demic team. Top left: Juniors Greg and Tom Jelesky go up for a rebound. Top right: Marc Strong blocks a shot against a Lew Wallace opponent.

Boys Varsity Basketball 41 Cagers Capture Sectional Games After finishing an astounding 19-2 season, the Pirates entered one of the largest, (8 teams), and toughest section- als in the state, at Calumet. In the first game the roundballers warmed up with a 77-52 victory over the Griffith Panthers. The Pirates out- rebounded, out-shot and out-lasted as well as out-scored the Panthers. Their second sectional game was against the hottest streaking team in the area, the Calumet Warriors, who literally tore up the Crown Point Bull- dogs in their first game. Led by 6’ 10” center Scott See- berger, the Warriors took control of most of the game, building leads of 15 points and more. But the Pirates would not play dead. They snipped at the lead until they were one point behind with sec- onds remaining. Then came the man of the hour, Ed Krol. He penetrated the middle, blew past the defense, and tossed up an off- balance lay-up that went over the big men to drop in at the buzzer. Pirates 61, Calumet 60. The Pirate team entered the section- al championships against one of the only two teams to defeat them in regu- lar season, Highland. Although team co-captain Jeff Markle did not play at their first meet- ing, the Pirates made sure not to let his- tory repeat itself. Neither team was able to build up a large advantage, but with a minute re- maining, Highland began to foul and our guards, Jeff Markle and Ed Krol, sizzled at the line. Thus, the Pirates captured the Calu- met sectional title, 70-60, to advance to the Gary West Side Regional. Top middle: Junior Pirate Greg Kemp goes for a jump ball against a Highland opponent.

Pirates win First Title At Regionals On arriving at the Gary West Side Regionals, the Pirate Sectional Champs didn’t find matters easier at all. Three of the four team field were ranked all year in the State Polls. One of the teams, Hammond Noll, was ranked 5th in the nation! But again, the Pirates were not awed. Their opener was against a very surprising Hammond Gavit Gladiators team who came alive during Sectional play. Taking control were the Pirate’s big men, Tom Jelesky, Greg Kemp, and Tim Seneff. To the surprise of many people, Hammond Gavit kept the game very close and made several threats to run away with the game. But the stable Pirate defense enabled them to hang on for a 62-57 victory. The Regional Championship was seen to be one of the greatest turn- arounds in Indiana High School his- tory. Hammond Noll, after nipping Gary Roosevelt in a professional-like first game, opened up the Champion- ship shooting and hitting at will, led by All-stater Thad Garner. Everyone re- lated to the game in one way or an- other saw a rampage in the making. But the Pirate fans heard echos of the Section al game against Calumet. The second half saw Krol penetrating the middle, Markle hitting from the out- side, Jelesky working and scoring un- der the basket, Kemp hitting his hook, and Seneff scrapping loose balls and muscling for the rebounds. When it was all over, the Pirates earned their first Regional Championships, 48-47. Basketball Regionals 43 Basketball team takes LaSalle; Frankfort “Number 1 is a way of life at Mer- rillville. It’s a status of excellence we set for ourselves,” said Dr. Linden Hill at the pep session preparing for the semi-state basketball game. And that feeling of excellence was demonstrated by Pirate Cagers, as they defeated both the South Bend LaSalle Lions and the Frankfort Hot Dogs to become semi-state champs. In the afternoon game against La- Salle, the Pirates accumulated 58 points to the Lions’ 50 with Jeff Markle being high scorer with 17 points. Markle tied himself in the evening bout, with Ed Krol right behind him with 15. The final score of the game was Frankfort 68, Merrillville 80. The Hog Dogs played an on again, off again game which allowed the Pi- rates to become the winner. ‘ Before the game Markle said, “We’re going to Lafayette with one purpose: To win the semi-state and go to Indianapolis.” And so they did.

The game was not anything to be ashamed of though. Tieing the score 14 times the Pirates fought to the very end when South took the lead just before the buzzer. The largest lead in the game came in the third period when South went ahead momentarily by four points. Tom Jelesky was the leading scorer of the afternoon with 23 points and 14 rebounds. An exciting finish to the game was made even more tense by several time- outs called by Coach jim Vermillion to try to cool off South. The team was supported by student and community fans with two pep ses- sions before the game and one at 1 a.m. when they arrived home. School was cancelled Monday after the game in honor of a job well done. Top: Pirate players await the rebound. Middle left: Tim Seneff shoots to keep pace against Terre Haute South.

Basketball semi-finals 45 Swimming Bucs ranked “ fourth in State ;e z “This has been the hardest team I’ve ever had to coach, it’s also been the best.” That’s how Coach Lee McCloud described the 1977-78 Pirate swim team. Ending the dual meet sea- son with a 11-4 record the Bucs went on to take the Duneland Conference meet, the Michigan City Rogers Sec- tional and 2nd place in the North Cen- tral Relays in Indianapolis. Finishing 10th in the state, the high- est ever for a Pirate team, they were at one time ranked 4th. Junior Dave Vi- dimos took sixth place in both 200 in- dividual medley and 100 yd. back- stroke. The 200 medley relay of Senior Mark Thursby and Gary Graves and Junior Steve Toigo and Dave Vidimos captured a 5th place finish.

After trailing conference rival Valpo for most of the meet, the Pirates took the lead after 500 yard freestyle, when distance men Jon Cone, Doug Targett, and Jim Fargo placed 1st, 3rd, and 7th respectively. However, the lead shifted back to Valpo after the next two events and Merrillville found themselves down by one point going into the final event: the 400 freestyle relay. In a time of 4 minutes and 35 sec- onds; the team of Cone, Targett, Jim Langbehn, and Dave Burelli finished first, set a Duneland Conference record, and more importantly defeated Valparaiso’s team to assure Merrillville of the 1978 Duneland Swim Cham- pionship. One of the most controversial races of the season was the 50 yard freestyle. Because of a failure in the timing sys- tem, sophomore John Durkin and se- nior Dave Burelli were awarded 5th and 6th place while senior Mark Thursby was awarded 4th and Valpo swimmer Tim Harmon 3rd.

Swimming 49 Alternatives to the Routine Sought Out English meant a lot more than just reading stories and writing essays. At Merrillville, ample is one word to de- scribe the amount of classes that were open to students. Besides the Com- position courses, classes in the areas of speech, journalism and various forms of literature were available for one se- mester. In addition to these, once again the popular nine week courses were of- fered. More specific in nature, nine week offerings included Popular Liter- ature, Vocabulary and Perspectives in Death. This versatility could be one reason why our English Department is in such great demand. 50 English Opposite lower right: Sophomore Denise Marcoff gropes for just the right words in finishing her pa- per.

English 51 “ Calculating ” Problems Provided in Moth Mathematics is one field where pre- cision and logic are an absolute must. And with equations, proofs, graphs, formulas and other tricky calculations, it’s one subject where students have plenty to keep them busy. Since math is a required course for graduation, the Mathematics Department has various classes to satisfy many needs. Ranging from General Math onward to Algebra and Geometry, and finally to the com- plex Trigonometry and Calculus, there is ample challenges open at every level. In addition to these, one semester courses like Math Analysis and Pro- bability can be selected by students. Whether or not your future is in math- ematics, it’s one field to benefit from, no matter what your academic studies. 52 Math Department Upper right: Working on proofs and theorems is Mr. Fackler ' s Geometry class.

Knowledge Applied in Labs Scientific studies and persons with good backgrounds in science are de- manded more and more in our progressing society. So now, more than ever, students are preparing with courses in science for their future roles. The Science department at Mer- rillville has many classes which pro- vide the necessary knowledge in the physical and chemical nature. Labora- tory work is emphasized, with the use of modern equipment to add even greater comprehension. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics are courses open to those students desiring to ex- perience firsthand the how’s and why’s to physical and biophysical world. So whether it’s dissecting frogs or Dar- win’s theory, the Science Department is a good start to a medical or scientific career. Upper left: Looking thrilled.

Science Department 53 Wrestlers grab School’s First Semi-State Champion- ships The wrestling team was the first in Merrillville history to ever win a semi- state crown. The team was undefeated in the season and in the conference. In addition, the grapplers placed first in the Merrillville Invitational, second in the Culver Military Invitational, and third in the Mooresville Invitational. The team went on to place first in the sectional, regional, semi-state, and 30th in the state. This year, the wrestling team had many outstanding matmen. They had five grapplers who qualified for re- gional and semi-state and four wres- tlers who qualified for state. The state qualifiers were George Costakis, Mark Konrady, Larry Tharp, and Ken Turner. Ken Turner placed third in the state while also receiving the most valuable wrestler in the Duneland Conference. At the awards night, Ken Turner was voted most valuable, most falls, and most takedowns (42). Tom Cos- takis, was voted most outstanding men- tal attitude.

Gymnastics 57 Gymnasts Compete on Three Levels The 1977-78 Girls Gymnastic Team had much to be proud of. The talented team, under the direction of fifth year coach Diane Rusak and assistant coaches Lisa Robertson and Cheryl Pendleton, continued its winning tradi- tion by totally dominating the Dune- land Conference Gymnastics scene. Loaded with talent at all three lev- els and backed by nine returning let- terwinners, the consistant gymnasts compiled an 11 and-2 record at the be- ginning level, 12 and 1 at the inter- mediate level, and much deserved un- defeated 13 and 0 record at the optional level. All three levels found themselves Duneland Conference Champions, as M.H.S. stole the show with eight first place individual winners. The young optional team, paced by senior standouts Kim Leposky and Claudia Pawl, juniors Jinx Sikora, Stephanie Stevens, Stephanie Palvas, and talented sophomore Laura Ma- resko, walked away with the most cov- eted trophy in Northern Indiana— The Portage Optional Invitational Cham- pionship. They also won the Sectional title and placed third in Regionals. The team qualified ten girls for Re- gionals and seven for the State finals— more competitors than any other team in the State! Placing at state were be- ginners Paula Tully and Lorrie Rivera, and intermediate Donna Engel. Captur- ing firsts for Merrillville was the dy- namic duo of Tina Wiggins and Maggie Uremovich. During dual meet season two school records were set by Tina Wiggins who compiled the highest all around score and the highest individual score in the school’s history.

Gymnastics 59 Business Skills Prove Useful Once again during the past year, the business world grew and with it grew the need for qualified people well ver- sed in the clerical and management areas. For those individuals possessing these skills, opportunities existed in abundant supplies. Many students, sensing the current demand for those with a substantial background in busi- ness, obtained the knowledge through courses in the Business Department. The popular typing courses, taught at both beginning and advanced levels, drilled in the fundamental office skills. General Business developed an all- around business knowledge, while Ac- counting and Recordkeeping taught methods and terms in the keeping of statistical records. Office Machines gave students the chance to run actual equipment used in the office. And for the determined students, there’s Short- hand, which proves profitable when seeking employment. To secure a good position in tomorrow’s business world, as well as assisting in the college days ahead, background from the Business Department is always an asset.

Creating such works required talent and knowledge of principles in design and composition, and apprecia- tion of the many forms of beauty that make up our world. That special mix- ture of personal enjoyment and enrich- ment was the backbone of the Merrill- ville Art Department. Their top priority was to provide the opportunity to learn new skills and to develop and strengthen the student’s talent to his highest level. After taking the required Basic Art courses, class offerings ranged from Painting, Ceramics, Sculp- ture, Crafts and Drawing to Com- mercial Art, Textiles, Fibers, Print- making and Art Appreciation. Courses in Art were one way to let stifled crea- tivity have a chance to be released, as well as to display their talents for the finer works of life.

This year Merrillville High School had over 140 mid-term gradu- ates. Earlier than the majority of the class, these seniors participated in the fitting of caps and gowns, the ordering of announcements, and the practice for commencement. Commencement and baccalaureate were held at Reinhart Auditorium on January 15. Master of ceremonies was Dr. Hill.

Mike Carniello starred as the host portraying Chuck-bare-with-us while many other Thespians backed him as panel members. Included were Steve Martini, Edith And, Ashley Roach-Clip, and Libber-Lacy. Many hilarious skits and musical numbers were presented. Some high- lights of the show were “Jaws II” adapted by Mike Carniello, the lip- singing of “Triplets” and “Short People”, and the musical number, Small Town Blues, featuring Dave Dakich on electric guitar, Dave Zale on bass guitar, and Roger Tuchek on drums. Magic acts were performed by Garry St. Martin, Jerry Herzog, and Da- vid Jatzak. A special feature of the eve- nings was the performance of Denise Ballmer singing “With One More Look At You Watch Closely Now”. Denise had a small band, piano, and dancers backing her to enable her song to be a production rather than a performance. The revue has become an annual affair under the direction of Mr. Joseph Morrow. This year Mr. Morrow was as- sisted by student director, Toni Jiminez.

Days passed when there seemed to be hardly anything at all to be done. But when the deadline came, it was as if every- thing needed to be done at once. It took a lot of cooperation and dedication on the part of the advisor, Mrs. Elaine Wheetley, the editors-in-chief, section editors, and photographers to put a quality book together. Finishing a year- book meant more than just completing it and sending it to the company to worry about. It meant selling ads, tak- ing clear and interesting pictures, and capturing the very essence of life at Merrillville High School. This was the goal of the Merrillvue staff; to produce a perennial representative of the year as it was, as well as making it an ap- pealing reminder to all the students who lived through it. So whether you’re interested as a writer, photogra- pher, or salesman, the courses in Year- book and Journalism are ones defi- nitely worth looking into.

Varsity Scoreboard Boy ' s Golf 69 Physical Well Being Achieved All over the world, men and women have rediscovered the value of proper diet and exercise. No matter what the form, people began beneficial exercise programs aimed at improving both their physical and mental conditions. At Merrillville, the Physical Education Department provided this essential ex- ercise daily. But there was a lot more to the gym classes than just situps and jumping jacks. Thanks to a well equipped facility, a variety of sports and games were covered. Included in the gym itinerary were gymnastics, volleyball, tennis and swimming. With the use of physical fitness testing, stu- dents could ac tually chart their own progress. And, to further strengthen skills as well as interest, several field trips were taken by the physical educa- tion classes. But, besides development of skills, the physical education classes taught the important lessons of spirit. teamwork and sportsmanship. Also of- fered, in addition to gym, were courses in Health and Safety and summer Driver Education classes. These courses rounded out the student’s knowledge that will serve him a life- time. The Physical Education Depart- ment provided not only a release for built up tensions, but also as a begin- ning of a more vigorous, healthier lifestyle.

Above left: Mr. Reinhart and the Vocalteens prepare continuously for their next performance. Right: The clarinet sec- tion perfects their sound in band. Mastering a new musical arrange- ment, hitting that impossible high note, or performing at a football game or in a public concert, these were all part of the Merrillville Music Department. Un- der the careful direction of Frank Melt- zer, the band boosted our spirit as well as providing some melodious sounds throughout the year. The band also competed in all of the State Music Contests sponsored by N1SBOVA, and sent students to the All State Band. Their musical schedule was heavy, with daily rehearsals, marching, and their solo and ensemble activities. But the members’ endurance proved re- warding, by performing at three public school concerts and numerous commu- nity projects. The choral classes also experienced a satisfying year. Choral Director Jerauld Reinhart stressed the devel- opment of vocal techniques and musi- cal appreciation. The Concert Choir consisted of both boys and girls and participated in various civic functions. Members of the Concert Choir and Girls’ Glee Club competed in the NIS- VOVA and ISBOVA solo and en- semble contests. Both performed in school and community concerts. The Vocalteens and Velveteens were spe- cialized performing groups. Members sang and danced for over forty civic, social, and church organizations, as well as performed in the Concert Choir productions. Musical experience gath- ered by these students, whether band or choral, was not only for fun, but im- proved their confidence in their other endeavors. Girls Post Successful Season The girl’s track team, continuing their winning tradition, fought hard to earn an outstanding 16-1 record. Im- proving last season’s record, the team’s only loss was a heartbreaker to confer- ence foe Valparaiso by one point. To name a few of their victims were such powerhouses as Andrean, Highland, and LaPorte. After placing second in the Dune- land Conference, the team proceded to sectionals, also placing second. Sectio- nal champions included Peggy Van- Denburgh in the 440 yard dash, Debbie Homier in the shot put, the 880 yard relay team, and the 440 yard relay team. Seven girls qualified for Re- gional action at West Lafayette. Pacing the track team was captain Peggy Van- Denburgh, who has remained unde- feated in the 440 yard dash for two years in dual meet action.

Sectionals were held at Hammond Harrison Park. Merrillville’s partici- pants included Daria Sawochka, quar- ter finalists Kathy Abel, Karen Graves and April Oliver. Michele Boran and Stephanie Duncan were first round winners. The Junior Varsity team, consisting of 21 girls, also displayed a great deal of talent showing promise for next year’s Varsity squad. The girls finished with a 4-4 record.

Young Track Team Promising The 1978 Pirate track team, con- sisting mostly of underclassmen, strove to a 3-1 early season record before in- juries started to take their toll. Never- theless, the track team showed many signs of improvement and promise for next year. The Pirate Thinlies opened their season with two solid dual meet tri- umphs over Hobart and Hammond. Af- ter splitting in their next two dual meets, injuries proved costly as they dropped two very close contests with Gary Wirt and Portage. Highlighting the rest of the year was placing a re- spectable third in the Delphi Relays. Concerning individual efforts, school records were tied in the pole vault and high jump by Dean Schmidt and Marc Strong, respectively. Scott Wiggins set the first school record in the 330 yard low hurdles, a new event. Regional qualifiers included Dean Schmidt and Kelly McClure, both in the pole vault. Dean Schmidt was a state qualifier in the pole vault. OPP Varsity Scoreboard MHS 54% Hobart 72% 52 Hammond Tech 74 101 Valparaiso 26 58 M.C.

Because of the en- ergy crisis and the state championship basketball game, the play was almost cancelled, but everything worked out well and the cast was able to perform three nights. In the play, an American family, mistaken for spies, plot their escape from behind the Iron Curtain. The director of Don’t Drink the Water” was Mr. Joseph Morrow. He was assisted by Bridget Hamang, stu- dent director and Terry Stanton, re- hearsal assistant.

Each day, counselors and secretaries faced many situations that called for quick, yet wise, decisions. It seems their itinerary was always full of important appoint- ments, such as individual conferences with students, PSAT tests in October, SAT tests in May, and, of course, arena scheduling. Helping seniors with col- lege and career choices or advising ju- nior high schoolers with their high school program, the guidance counsel- ors worked hard to better students’ outlook during their high school years. Through their dedication and produc- tivity, everyone, teachers and students alike, could benefit.

Above right: Guidance assis- tants Sophomore Renee Shambly and Senior Su- san Shafchuk look up information in the college resource materials available in the department. 78 Guidance Department Provides ‘ Thinking Space” One way to insure better grades is by doing additional research. Under- standing your subject is imperative in gathering any knowledge. And, as al- ways, students and administration could always turn to the Instructional Media Center to provide the informa- tion they sought. But the Library held more than just encyclopedias and at- lases. Books for every interest, fiction and non-fiction, could be located once inside. And, in addition to their infinite supply of books, the Library also of- fered various pamphlets, records, and sound film strips to students interested in further widening their scope. With helpful librarians and assistants, the Merrillville Media Center combined a quiet atmosphere and variety in mate- rials to make learning more of an en- joyable task.

Library 79 Bucs Are Conference Co- Champs The Pirates baseball team com- pleted another winning season and be- came Duneland Conference co- champs, sharing the title with 2nd ranked LaPorte. The team started the season on the weak side without the services of many starters who were completing their extended basketball season. But when they arrived, the Pirates won 11 of their next 12 games, including their second win over highly rated LaPorte. Normally, these two wins would have enabled the Pirates to become sole Conference champs, but due to some changes in the system they be- came co-champs. Outstanding individual efforts dur- ing the season were by Mark Vilosky who tied the home run record, Greg Kemp who threw a no-hit shut-out, and Kevin Spadoni who lost only one game, set a record of 21 strike-outs in a single game, and became the first pitcher to strike out over 100 batters in his Merrillville career.

Held at the Greek Hall, couples danced to soft music pro- vided by “The Clear Tones”. The high point of the evening came when prom royalty gathered on the stage to await the announcement of King and Queen. Surprised Scott Wiggins and beaming Paula Thorsteinson, were crowned as King and Queen of the Junior Prom. The “royal” couple then led the Grand March around the decorated ballroom. The Post-Prom, which was spon- sored by a group of parents, was also held at the Greek Hall. The music changed to more of a “disco-sound”. As couples danced, enjoyed the com- pany of friends, sampled the dinner, and listened to the music, the night dreamily passed until it was time to leave.

Awards Day 89 Seniors Prepare for Graduation In the last week before graduation seniors began to prepare for the end of their high school career. The first item on the adgenda was the distribution of caps and gowns. Students were called from classes to collect their gowns and collars. Honor Society members traded purple and white tassels for gold ones and special collars. The seniors returned to school after their final day of classes to participate in the senior breakfast. Senior newspapers were sold at the breakfast and afterwards students practiced for commencements. Top: Anne Shulz, Louann Nocum, Joyce Lage- nock. Middle Left: Mark Thursby.

Invocation and benediction were given by Rev. Verl Ballmer and Rev. Timothy Doody, respectively. Rev. Robert Bunnell read the scrip- ture and Rev. Richard Chrispell ad- dressed the graduates on the sterotypes of our society.

Bacculaureate 91 Graduation Has Special Moments Thursday, May 25 marked the day for the 52nd commencement exercise. Four hundred thirty-eight anxious seniors paraded into the gym, over- crowded with the proud families of the graduates. Senior class president, Mark Kon- rady, began the exercises by in- troducing Rev. David DeFor, who gave the invocation. “Rules for Life” was the title of the speech given by co-valedictorian Kirk Dunkelburger, in which he mentioned many ideas that each of us will keep in mind throughout our lives. Marlene Kordys, co-valedictorian, was the next to speak and she men- tioned that each of us should be true to ourselves and have our own identities. Mrs. Phyllis Tully, president of the board of education, said a few profound words especially for the class of 1978, “Unity in Diversity”, a saying she said fit better than any she has every heard. Next, and most important was the presentation of the senior class to Dr. Robert Schrenker, by Mark Konrady. Each student approached the front, shook hands with Principal Dr. Linden Hill and heard their name read. They then walked across the stage— beaming with pride, to finally receive their long awaited diploma. Each of the girls was presented with a red rose by the senior class. As Mark Konrady instructed the se- niors to turn their tassels, some sent their caps flying through the air. They have graduated! The Rev. Dennis Stutrud gave the Benediction and as the class of 1978 left the gym, a few tears were shed. The realization of it all may take a while to hit each of the seniors, but they have finished high school forever. Some are happy, some are sad but each must admit that high school was a very important part of their lives. Top: Tim Lynch. Middle: Jean Pappas, Mike Car- niello, Marlene Kordys.

Today’s Army is an Army of volunteers. The many people who are in the Army are in it because it’s a good place to begin. Partly because of the benefits. A monthly starting salary of $397.50 (before deductions). With a raise to $443.10 in just six months. Plus free housing and meals, free medical and den- tal care, free job training, 30 day paid vacation a year. Partly too, because of the personal chal- lenge. The disipline. The mental and physical demands. The early risings, hard days, and late nights. In the Army, we don’t have time clocks. And in Soldiering is a full-time job. We don’t require prior experience. But we do require high standards. And if you meet them, you’re the kind of volunteer we want. The kind your Country needs.

March, Arpil, May . . . the school year ended much too quickly. It is now June, the starting of another summer, and time to reflect on the memories of the past school year. Sophomores ... no longer afraid, now accustomed to the system. Anx- ious for school to let out and start their summer activities. “That English class was a breeze. Done with gym class FOREVER! Next year I’m a Junior already!’’ Juniors ... it was another year of experience and challenge for them. “History is over with. I hope Govern- ment and Econ aren’t too hard. This year went by pretty fast. What will I wear for Senior pictures?” 204 Upper left: Seniors Jeff Truchan and Mark Dak- ich. Middle left: Senior Shari Hosier gets mea- sured for her cap.

They just can’t believe their last year has come and gone. They think back to Sophomore and Ju- nior year when they wished it was their Senior year. That memory seems like yesterday. “I’ve waited for this year for so long, and now it’s already ended. I don’t know if I should be happy or sad. I ' m glad the hassle of doing homework is over with. No more worrying about essays, tests or report cards. But it’s kind of sad in a way, knowing that I’m not coming back next year. I wonder if I’ll see any of my friends any more. Gosh, I’m gonna miss this place more than I ever thought I would!” Graduation, the final pages in the chapter of your school years. It is now that you begin to realize that your twelve years of learning were a lot more than just homework. They were what you made of them. That’s WHAT IT WAS!

Mere memories are all that is left now. We only hope the memories captured in this al- bum are enough to keep your high school years alive for- ever. We are very pleased to have been a part of this memory book. There is a lot of effort involved in putting out a yearbook, and a lot of people putting out that effort. Many, many thanks goes to Mr. George Kingsley Jr., our yearbook representative. To Mr. John Giolas, a big thanks for all his help in the photography department. Our ap- preciation to Mrs. Elaine Wheetley, you will never be for- gotten for everything you’ve done. Last, but not least, our special thanks to those 24 wild and crazy people who were all a part of making this book. There is no need to name names becau se you all know who you are. No mat- ter how much or how little each of you contributed you should be very proud of yourselves. Despite financial and other numerous set backs, the combined effort from the staff got us through some rather crucial times. We offer congratulations and best wishes to the entire graduating class of 1978. This book was especially dedi- cated to you because you’re Seniors and you deserve it! And finally, thank you to all of the students, faculty and administration of Merrillville High School for mak- ing this school year and book “WHAT IT WAS!’’ Lisa Bryant and Joann Keilman, Co-Editors 208 Editor’s Page
