The 1978 Homecoming festivities were celebrated with great excitement Homecoming-Excitement and anticipation from the students. The festivities began with Spirit Week in which students wore comical attire each day. Thursday of Homecoming week was celebrated by the parade, and the Juniors won first place. Thurs- day night it was the; Sophomores turn to win. They won the powder puff game, first against the Juniors and then against the Seniors. Friday afternoon was the pep rally. During the pep rally, there was a banana eating contest, w h ere S w i m mer Dave Vidimus showed his tremendous ability for eat- ing bananas by winning for the Senior class. The Seniors won the spirit stick for their great display of enthusiasm during the week. Friday night was the moment the whole week had been leading up to. The Queen was to be crowned, and the pirates were to play their Homecoming game against the Michigan City Raiders. Paula Thors- teinson won the title of 1978 Home- coming Queen, and the Pirates won the game 28-0. Saturday night was the final activity for the; week— the Homecoming dance. The theme of the dance was Walt Disney in which all of his charac- ters surrounded the dance floor. Top: Couples Gail Atkisson. |ohn Kroll and Tracy Ollorbacher.

The Mouse That Roared. The play was a success, giving many aspiring sophomores their first taste of acting in Reinhart Auditorium. Under the direction of Mrs. Christoff and student director Jennifer Toby, the play was set in the fictional country of Grand Renwich located somewhere near France. The small country, upset over a du- plication of a vital export wine de- clares war on the United States in re- taliation.

The word most frequently used by most people was SNOW. Thought by many to be the coldest and snowiest win- ter in memory, late busses and cars were common due to the record amount of snowfall and extreme cold. To some, snowmo- biles seemed to be the only logi- cal way of travel. Indoor sports were popular with basketball dominating week- ends and various girls sports con- tinuing on during the week. Weekend skiing was plentiful due to the overabundance of snow. As a good many students prepared for that long awaited trip to Flor- ida, others would have to stick it out until the sun made its return- ing trip north. Christinas tints at HarrillTilla! On December 6 and 7, the M.H.S. Music Department presented its 25th annual Christmas concert. Under direction of Frank Meltzer they entertained the audience, per- forming such numbers as “Legend of the Kings” and March of Toys” with the pom pon girls performing a variety of dances. Performances by the Girls Glee Club and Concert Choir proved both nights to be resounding successes. Top right: Concert Choir performs one of several arrangements.

After many auditions, the performers were picked, and soon after they began to create many enjoy- able acts. Sponsor, Mr. Morrow, assisted by student director, Jenny Toby, com- bined their creative ideas to make the show “better than ever.” Some of the acts included 61 minutes, singing performances, a magic act and many more delightful skits.

Every other Wednesday after second hour the students go to their desig- nated activity for an hour. Some of the activities include running, pottery, make-up class, cooking, computer pro- cessing, and basketball. This has been very successful because students get a break from their studies to learn and participate in other activities. 21 “Mirror” Reflects New Image Merrillville High School has been without a school paper since 1975. At the end of the first semester, Mr. Woods, sponsor, interviewed students and a class was formed for the second semester. Under the leadership of Edi- tor Larry Lavery, the work began to produce the Mirror. With the coopera- tion of the graphic arts department, four issues were printed and sold. The Senior Edition was the final publica- tion which included class wills, class election results, sports, and baby pic- tures. With very little background in journalism the newly formed staff did an excellent job in producing a quality paper and a class has already been formed for next year.

Although the team is not considered a sport but an extracurricu- lar activity right now, they are fighting hard to get it rated as an M.H.S. sport. The coaches held practices three times a week for two hours each. The boys worked very hard and are looking forward to playing again next year. Upper Far Right: Theo Manglis plans his next move.

The Fred Carmichael play described four murders that took place in an is- land mansion and the two elderly de- tectives who, in their first case, try to determine “who dunnit?” Raging storms, unexpected visitors and sliding panels add to the fun and suspense of the play set in the 1920’s. Serving as play director was English teacher Linda Christoff, with Lisa Jan- sen acting as student director. Other committee chairmen Edna Machnik, Michaelene Hamang, Beth Maddack, Kaye Oliver, Joy Koen, Bryan Reinhart, Roger Tuchek, Dorothy Hickman, and Marty Castellanos completed the many backstage details.

PROM. The Greek Hall, transformed into a “Castle of Dreams,” was the spot cho- sen for the 1979 prom. Couples danced to the music of “The Crystal Tones”. Crowning of king, Chris Roark, and queen, Tina Wiggins took place before dinner. Dinner was served and Post- Prom began. That was the easy part- prom really begins about four weeks earlier. Girls start to look for the “just right” dress and a charmed garter to match. When this is done, guys strive to find the tuxedo to match perfectly. The tickets are bought and last minute things are ordered. Then, on the day of prom, couples do various little jobs such as waxing cars, getting hair styled, picking up flowers and making sure plans are set. Now, the rush is on! There’s that last look in the mirror and it’s time to leave. Stopping at the par- ents’ homes for the picture routine . . . turning into the parking lot, taking ten minutes to remember where the bids are. Now a night of dining and danc- ing. Stopping for breakfast or spending a few hours at a friends house. Six a.m., there goes the alarm! Time for the last part of the prom, the picnic. Couples went to places such as Tur- key Run, Pokegan, or to Great Amer- ica. Finally after two days of non-stop activity and fun, the dance that every- one has waited for is over; but the memories remain forever.

Caps and gowns were distributed in mid-May while the Class of ’79 suffered from severe cases of Se- nioritis and final exam cramming. The final week of school was full of taking tests, paying old library debts and saying so long to Junior and Soph- omore friends. Friday, May 18 brought the Seniors back for the annual Senior Breakfast. Sweet rolls and doughnuts were served to the class, who dressed up in their finest for the occasion. The Senior Edition of the Mirror was sold, featuring the traditional last will and testament, along with the results of the Senior voting. Following the breakfast, commencement rehearsal was con- ducted in the gym under the direction of Mrs. Spurr. Afterwards, the class picked up tickets for graduation and left Merrillville in purple and white streamed cars, horns blowing to an- nounce their freedom. The rest of the day was spent on the beaches as the Class of ' 79 relaxed a bit while know- ing that Senior Week had ended their three years of togetherness.

The Baccalaureate service was held on the afternoon of May 20. The religious occasion featured words of inspiration and prayers for the fu- ture by area ministers. The high school choir provided the musical accom- paniment to complete the program. The following evening, true pan- demonium took over as frenzied Se- niors entered the school as students for the last time. Laughter and a few tears were expended while class sponsors feverishly worked to line up and make last minute touch ups to anxious Se- niors. Finally, as the Band struck up Pomp and Circumstance, the two lines of nervous, happy Seniors entered Engelhart Gymnasium. Proud parents and friends gathered as Master of Cere- monies Paula Thorsteinson introduced various speakers of the Merrillville community. Speeches by Valedictorian George Sarikos and Co-Salutatorians Sharon Allen and Michael Geske each stressed the importance of individ- uality and direction in the future to their fellow classmates. The class was then presented to Dr Robert Schrenker who presented each graduate his di- ploma. As tassels were turned and caps began to fly freely across the room, the Seniors felt a certain wave of excite- ment and anticipation wash over them as the program drew to a close. Yes, in- deed, the Class of 1979 is now gradu- ated! College, look out! Upper left: Patti Jonusas helps Sue Spangler to look just right for the big moment.

I want YOU for M.H.S. English When you sign up for English today, you also sign up for a more intelligent way of life. The English Department at Merrillville offers a variety of courses to provide for the needs of all the stu- dents. Besides the basic courses of Composition and Literature many other semester and nine week courses are constantly in demand. While some high schools may produce only the tra- ditional benefits, Merrillville adds such courses as Perspectives on Death, Great Detective Stories, Medica l Ter- minology and Kiddie Literature. Like everything else in school, English is what you make of it. Merrill- ville’s English program could be your chance to get to know an important subject while doing something mean- ingful for yourself. If you want to find out more, talk it over with your local English Department head. She’s listed in the yearbook under Lynch, Agnes.

The Foreign Language Department at Merrillville offers French, German, and Spanish at various levels, ranging from first year to fourth year. Reading, writing, and conversation are stressed in order for the student to achieve a particular language. Some of the areas that students work on are comprehen- sion and pronunciation and later, nov- els and in depth cultural reports. Pre- paring students for the College Achievement Test is an area that is stressed during the fourth year of study. A good background in a Foreign Language can prove to be a good asset in anyone’s future career. The Foreign Language Department offers an ex- cellent start toward this goal.

Mixing Business With Pleasure Preparing students for employment in business offices and providing an opportunity for the student to gain practical experience are two of the ma- jor objectives of the business depart- ment. In both beginning and advanced typing classes speed and accuracy are stressed. The courses offered by the Business Department range from Gen- eral Business onward to Accounting and Recordkeeping. Office Machines gives students the chance to run actual equipment used in the office. Finally, Shorthand classes can prove to be a big asset when seeking future employ- ment. The need for qualified people who are well trained in clerical and management skills, is growing larger in the business world today.

More and more people are running, jogging, lifting weights and exercising. At Merrillville, the Physical Education Department offers the necessary full year course for Sophomores along with an Elective Course for Juniors and Se- niors. In addition to the gym classes. Health and Safety is also offered. In Sophomore P.E., students participate in Physical Fitness testing, Swimming, Archery, Volleyball, and Tennis plus many more other sports. Elective P.E. students are given the opportunity to play individual and dual sports that have greater carry-over value for later years. The Physical Education Depart- ment helps to give everyone at Merrill- ville the opportunity to stay physically fit.

These classes were aimed to teach fundamentals that will apply later as well as now in the bettering of family situations. The Housing and In- terior Decoration class planned deco- rations for the home that was built by the Building Trade class, while Child Development classes were involved each Wednesday in conducting a Nur- sery School for pre-school kids. Basic courses ranging from Inter-personal Relations Foundations onward to Tex- tiles and Clothing and Food and Nutri- tion classes were also taught at differ- ent levels. Students of the Gourmet Foods class learned how to prepare un- usual foods and culinary specialities from around the world. In these days of changing times the Home Ec. courses proved to be a good investment. Upper Left: Book work is also a large portion of the Foods class as these students have found out. Middle Left: Sharon Yurchak learns that playing is a very important part of a Child ' s Devel- opment. Lower Left: Culinary skills are learned by all students who enroll in a Foods course. Above: Attaching a waistband, marking a hem, and putting in a zipper are all skills that this stu- dent needed to perform to complete her skirt. 45 History Repeats Itself In the courses offered by the Social Studies Department emphasis is placed upon the understanding of various problems in society and upon the stu- dent’s involvement with these prob- lems and their solutions. While U.S. History, Government and Economics are the basis of the department, many other classes are available to the stu- dents. These include Psychology and Sociology, Values and Issues, Careers and Vocations, and History of Wars. Through such courses students can take a closer look into the development of men and nations. So, no matter what the social problem, the solution can be found in the Social Studies Department. r Middle Right: Seniors in Mrs. Mandon’s govern- ment classes participate in a mock session of Congress.

Appreciation and Creativity Required Art is one of the most satisfying classes offered at Merrillville High School. Creating something with your own two hands can be very exciting. These works require talent and knowl- edge of principles in design and com- position. The Art student also needs an appreciation of the many forms of beauty that make up our universe. Af- ter taking the required Basic Art Courses, the student may choose from Drawing, Painting, and Ceramics to Sculpture, Commercial Art, and Fibers. These courses provide the student with the opportunity to learn new skills and develop their talent to its highest level. The Art Department allows the stu- dents to express their creativity.

Our Band of- fers a variety of musical experiences which include a marching band, solo and ensemble activity, stage band, pom pon girls, and symphonic band work. The band competes in all of the State Music Contests as well as sending the students to the All State Band. Three public school concerts are given each year, and various community projects are supported upon request. Many of our students who are involved in the band have received music scholarships to colleges through out the country and many more scholarships seem to be made available each year. Both the Girl’s Glee Club and the Concert Choir strived to develop vocal technique, musicianship, and a deeper appreciation of music, better perfor- mances, and organizational teamwork. The Girl’s Glee Club is composed of all Sophomore girls where the Concert Choir is a mixed group composed of Sophomore boys and Junior and Se- nior boys and girls. Both of these cho- ral groups participate in a number of affairs throughout the year. These con- sist of tree-lighting ceremonies, com- bined church services at Easter and guest appearances for organizations. The Merrillville High School Choir students also compete regularly in the NISBOVA 1SBOVA solo and en- semble contests. The Vocalteens and Velveteens are specialized performing groups selected by audition only. In addition to per- forming as show groups in over forty different performances during the year, the Vocalteens Velveteens sing with the Concert Choir at all their per- formances. These groups also partici- pate in the NISBOVA ISBOVA solo ensemble contests, Lake County Cho- ral Festival appearance at the South- lake Mall and High School Con- vocations. So whether the students participated in Band or Choir they all gave 110% to all performances. Upper left; Mr. Meltzer directs the band students during their daily projects.

Each day our work becomes more mechanized and technical with the invention of more labor-saving machines and devices. Many tradesmen and technicians are needed to install, operate and service these modern pieces of equipment. The student in industrial arts classes is offered an opportunity to acquire some insight into various technical and trade areas. The shop classes are not designed to turn out tradesmen or tech- nicians but are for the purpose of aquainting the student with various oc- cupations requiring some type of man- ual skill. Some of the classes offered in the In- dustrial Arts Department are Technical Drawing, House Planning Instruc- tion, Metal, Wood, Machine Shops, Power Auto Mechanics, and a vari- ety of courses in electronics. Classes in Industrial Arts will pro- vide an experience to the students that will have carry-over value later in life, in job situations, in consumer knowl- edge, or possibly in home maintenance.

The house will be sold by a private corporation at the regular rate along with the other houses being built in the subdivision. The name of this corporation is The Merrillville Community School Voca- tional Building Trades Incorporated, which is made up of different people who donate their spare time to help. Two different classes, consisting of 30 students, work on the house during the hours of 1st through 3rd and 4th through 6th. The class is limited to Ju- niors and Seniors only with no dis- crimination of sex. The only require- ment for this course is Technical Drawing so they can read the blue prints. The Home Ec. classes are also aiding the Building Trades class by helping with the decorating of the house. There are 3 bedrooms, 3 bath- rooms, a den, kitchen, and a liv- ingroom. All profit made on this year’s house will go into a fund for next year’s house. Freedom seems to be what the class likes best, for it gives them the experi- ence of what it is actually like to be in- volved in carpentry. All of the students agree that this class will help them in the future in one way or another. Upper left: The sign in front of the Building Trades house tells it all.

The tradition was broken after dropping the first game to the Ho- bart Brickies. While on the road, the Pirates rebounded by defeat- ing Lew Wallace, Crown Point, and Chesterton. Still on the road, the Pirates took revenge against the Portage Indians and brought back a 26-13 victory over them. The Bucs came home for the next four games which included the Battle of Broadway with the victory against Andrean. The Pirates celebrated home- coming with a victory over Michi- gan City Rogers. The remaining home games against Valporaiso, and South Bend St. Joe gave the Pirate fans something to cheer about. The gridmen wrapped up the season on the road by conquering La Porte 14-0.

Besides showing that they could play football, they ran to a 9-1 season this year. Coaches Ken Haunt, Steve Tel- fer, Jerry Bratcher, Tom Cameron and Athletic Trainer Lou Grunt, led the Bucs to a terrific season and ranking up to 2nd in the state. Special Honors were awarded this year to Tom Jelesky and Jeff Mack for Most Valuable Players, Albert Stazinski for Best Offen- sive Back, Tom Lozanoski for Best Offensive Back, Tom Loza- noski for Best Offensive Lineman, Max Gill for Best Offensive Line- man, Max Gill for Best Defensive Lineman, Mike Krutz for Best De- fensive Back, Dennis Smith for Pirate Award, and Royce Chenore for Mr. Zip Award.

The Purple Wave showed much skill by beginning the season with a six meet ' win streak, including victories over arch rival Crown Point, confer- ence foes such as La Porte, Valparaiso, Hobart, and M.C. Rogers. After dropping their next meet to Munster, the Purple Wave bounced back and defeated Portage. They ended the season with two consecutive losses to S.B. Adams and Chesterton. School records were broken by Liz Price for diving, Carolyn Stark in the 100 backstroke and Diane Lorenzo in the 100 breaststroke.

But just because they did not have a winning season, Pi- rate fans did not lose all faith in them. Coach Banas stayed with them through the good and bad and was very proud of his team. The Netters did manage to defeat several teams including Hobart, River Forest, Michigan City Rogers and Chesterton twice.

They had quality but lacked depth. Many of the runners became ill or injured and finished the season with a .500 record. The five runners that lasted most of the season were Don Maddock, Steve Sicula, Jeff Sanok, Bill Gallo, and Paul Metten. Vic Rashford was lost mid-sea- son due to injuries. Most Valuable Runner was awarded to Don Maddack. Greatest Improve- ment was given to Steve Sicula, and Best Mental Attitude Bill Gallo. The dual record for the season was five wins and seven losses.

This year the Pirate Vol- leyball team was coached by Miss Janis Qualizza who led the girls to their third consecutive sectional title. At the sectionals the Pirates conquered the tough teams of Roosevelt, Lew Wallace and Wirt. Upon advancing to the Re- gional the Pirate Volleyball team suf- fered a loss against Hammond Gavit. At the Fall Sports Banquet, Sue Nei- meyer was awarded Most Valuable Player and also was given the All-con- ference Award.

Even though the girl cagers lost most of their game s this season it proved to be a learning experience for both Coach Pigg and his team. Because of this there is hope for a winning sea- son next year. Bright spots in the Pirate lineup this year were Sue Neimeyer, who scored the most points during the season and was chosen to be on the All Confer- ence Team. Senior Karen Prochno also led the team with the Best Free-Throw Percentage. And finally, Renee Long was presented with the Best Mental At- titude Award.

While other area teams struggled to mediocrity, the MHS girls performed to perfection completing their 1978- 1979 season with a 22 4 dual meet season record. Under the direction of sixth year coach Diane Rusak and as- sisted by Mike Howe, the team once again dominated the Duneland Confer- ence Gymnastic scene, capturing 7 first places and the Conference Champion- ship for the 3rd year in a row, while going undefeated in the conference dual season. This year the team of 15 strong com- peted at the intermediate compulsory level and the advanced optional level. The young, intermediate team possess- ing great depth was paced by Seniors Connie Petroff and co-captain Sandy Sekerez. Juniors and past state winners Paula Tully and Lorrie Rivera added to the depth, while freshman Laura Woz- niak rounded out the roster. Laura, the only intermediate state qualifier, placed 7th in floor exercise at the state meet. Other members of the inter- mediate team were Dara Galic, Lisa Adams, Michelle Glatt and freshman all-conference winner Jan Gough. The power packed Optional Team, despite injuries to key veterans Laura Maresko and Jinx Sikora, captured the sectional team championship for the second year in a row. The dy mic trio of freshman Lynne Shearin, soph- omore Donna Engel, and junior Tina Wiggins for the first time in the school’s history were Regional Team Champs and captured the runner up trophy at the state level. Lynne set a new school record for points scored in the all around division while Tina broke her own record in the individual scoring division, receiving a near per- fect 9.6 for her vault in the conference meet.

Complicated by unfortunate rainouts and heartbreaking close matches, Coach Ameling felt optimistic of the valuable experience his netters gained during the 1979 season. Junior let- terman Sue Niemeyer and Debbie Berndt served as captains of the team. Highlights of the season were the fan- tastic doubles duo of Patty Dudak and Chris Lalios, whose 10-3 record was the team’s best. Other honors went to Michelle Baran as first in singles ac- tion, and Debbie Berndt and Tammy Argeropolos first in Doubles play. Best Mental Attitude went to Kathy Punt- illo, and Michaelene Hamang captured the distinction of Most Improved player. Looking to next season Coach Ameling feels the team’s potential is great with a good percentage of the players returning. The experience gathered this season and with the few kinks ironed out, Pirate fans can ex- pect interesting Girls Tennis action next season. Front Row: Chris Lalios.

Girls’ Track— Always a Step Ahead The girls’ track team, continuing their winning tradition, fought hard to earn an outstanding 5-1 Duneland Con- ference Record. Under the constant di- rection of first year coach Mr. Jim Moody the Pirates won the Duneland Conference Meet, but in the final Duneland Standings they finished in second place behind LaPorte. During the 1979 track and field sea- son the girls’ track team set six new school records, four new Duneland Conference Records and three new Sectional Records. Six of the thirteen new records were set by senior Jenny Delucenay. Jenny Delucenay set school records in the long jump with a jump of 17’5”, a 220 yrd. dash record with a time of 26.5 seconds and she was also a member of the 440 yrd. relay team which set a school record of 51.2 sec- onds. Delucenay also set Conference and Sectional records in those events. Jenny Delucenay was voted Co-Girl Athlete of the year by the Herald Newspaper along with her fellow teammate Debbie Homier. Senior Deb- bie Homier set a school record in the shot put with a toss of 42’4”, which was also a new Duneland Conference Record. Debbie also set the new Sectio- nal Record for the shot put. At the Girls’ State Track Meet Debbie Homier placed fourth in the shot put com- petition with a toss of 41’6”. Finally, Homier was invited to participate in the Midwest Meet of Champions. The outlook for next year’s season is very good with Margie Trocha, Karen So- hovich, Janie Harper and Mary Lynn Tombers, all of which were voted all- Conference, setting the pace. Pirate Trackmen Break The Tape The 1979 Pirate track team strove to a 5-3 dual meet record with co-captains Don Maddack and Kelly McClure set- ting the pace. Under the constant di- rection of Coach Armontrout the Pirate Thinlies placed third in overall confer- ence standings. During the ’79 season the Pirate team placed second in the Hobart Little 5 and the Chesterton Relays. The M ' ville track team then went on to obtain third place in both the Delphi Relays and the Griffith Relays. Finally, the guys fin- ished the season by placing fourth in the Conference and Sectional Meets. Bright spots in the track and field sea- son came when both Kelly McClure and Bill Meade set two new school records. These records were set when Kelly McClure ran a 38.7 second 330 yard low hurdles and Bill Meade jumped 6 feet 6 Vt inches in the High Jump. This year special awards were given to Don Maddack as Most Valuabl e Player and to Todd Harmon for having the Best Mental Attitude. Other awards were given to Don Maddack.

Once again the Pirates were coached by Mr. Bill Metcalf, who led his team into the sec- tionals where they lost to Lew Wallace. The team started the season on the weak side exchanging wins and losses until they met up with Griffith. The Griffith game proved to be the starting point of a winning streak because the Pirates went on to win their next five games finally losing to LaPorte. The rest of the 1979 season was a series of wins and losses for the Pirates; how- ever, there were more wins than there were losses. During the 1979 Baseball season out- standing individual efforts were put forth by Kevin Spadoni, Matt Handley, Jeff Mack, Mike Krutz, Bryan Vowell, and Mike Kerulis. All of these players proved their abilities by playing in al- most all games and by performing well on both defense and offense. The out- look for next year is good with such players as Mike Kerulis, Tim Vislosky, Doug Deck, and George Bravos on the line-up.

Thespians Steal the Show! Thespians lift your spirits high! 96 Go-Go Espanol Spanish Club, offered to those stu- dents who wish to learn more about the culture of the Spanish speaking people, is both fun and educational. Towards the beginning of the school year, the club members sold candy in order to help foreign language honor students finance their upcoming trip to Mexico to further their studies of the Spanish language. One new activity for the club this year was a visit to Tra- dewinds at Christmas-time. Every year the Spanish club has an eat-in. Club members prepare a variety of delicious Spanish and Mexican dishes. At the end of the school year, the club goes to a Spanish and Mexican restaurant for another tasty meal and initiation cere- monies for the following year’s officers. Officers: Kristine Kottis.

Dividing the state into six districts according to counties, Merrill- ville Sunshine Society falls into Dis- trict V. The state theme this year was “Bloom where you are planted.” The Sunshine Society is involved in a can- dlelight initiation. Helping with Home- coming festivities, the club also rode in the Homecoming parade. Along with the FHA, the society caroled at Maple Manor and the Ross Care Center at Christmas. Other activities found the Sunshiners honoring their parents with a Father-Daughter party and a Mother- Daughter banquet in May. Besides their many civic and school activities, the club worked hard to spread a little happiness in all its endeavors. And to help demonstrate this, the society planted a tree on Arbor Day, hoping to bloom and also spread a little sunshine in Merrillville. The 1979 Sunshine Society officers were President Debbie Homeier, Vice- President Pam Beck, Recording Secre- tary Pam Pasterick, and Corresponding Secretary Dana Zaradich. The club’s sponsor was Mrs. Grace Bovard. Upper left: Sunshine members participate in the Homecoming parade.

A place it was to meet and cherish friends, To stumble, fall, and rise to start anew, To work, compete, and earn the dividends Mid unconfining walls, in which we grew. A world it was of victory and pain; A microcosmic, purpled Pirate globe, Each day a test, a chance for loss or gain, A game to play, a concept new to probe. That treasured time and place, that world appears When we recall our youthful yesteryears.

Some students, however, took pride in their education, exemplifying this by excelling in their high school years. The 30 people on these pages represent the top 5 percent of the Senior class. These students maintained the high educational standards of Merrillville High School. They showed not only their former classmates, but also people outside M.H.S. that Merrillville High School has its fine young adults too. The students shown below are in alphabetical order. It was not the intent to show class rank but to honor those stu- dents who excelled during their high school careers.

Schuyler’s first year at Mer- rillville as Principal seems to be a suc- cess. Mr. Schuyler has a positive atti- tude toward the future of M.H.S. He has tried to solve some of the problems of M.H.S. such as moving the smoking area to a more convenient lo- cation, making a third lunch line, and having the tele-principal drawing where students are chosen to express their opinions about M.H.S. Mr. Schuyler has been teaching for an impressive 25 years, along with being an assistant principal. This year also brought back Marie Spurr who is one of the assistant prin- cipals, with John Stone, our other assis- tant principal. Robert J.

It was very nice; everyone knew everyone else. The main extra curricular activities she has been involved in were Prom sponsor and bowling. She was head Prom sp on- sor for at least 8 or 9 of her 18 years here. From the first, it has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with the members of the Home Ec. depart- ment. My friends and acquaintances among the staff will be missed, as 1 will miss my many students. Life will be different-but I’m expecting it to be fun,” said Mrs. Kirtland. Mr. Meltzer has been teaching at Merrillville for a total of 27 years. At that time there were approximately 350 high school students, including the ninth grade. Needless to say, many changes and growth have occurred since then. Our music department has seen tremendous growth and changes; our facilities are among the finest in the state; we have expanded the cur- riculum to include music theory and orchestra. It has been a great pleasure to see all of these changes ' ” said Mr. Meltzer. His life has always revolved around MHS. He has felt himself to be a part of the community, and he has had the pleasure to work with a great group of teachers and students. Mr. Meltzer was quoted as saying, “It has indeed been a satisfying and rewarding experience. Best of luck and continued success to Merrillville High School. 190 over 100 vears total service Mr. Richard Demaree has taught for a total of 38 years, 33 of those years at Merrillville High School. He started football at Merrillville when there were only 180 students in 4 grades. He was head football coach for 29 years. Mr. Demaree taught and coached in Il- linois and Ohio before coming to Mer- rillville. He became Assistant Athletic Director at Merrillville when he retired from coaching. He has taught U.S. His- tory, World History, Government and Economics. He graduated from North- western University in Evanston, Illi- nois. He attended high school in Ra- cine, Wis. and did graduate work at Purdue, I.U., and Akron, Ohio Univer- sity. He hobbies included travel, sports, painting, and the old West. Mrs. Helen Brunton has taught school for a total of 36 years, 24 of those years at Merrillville High School. She received her Bachelors degree at Central Normal College in Danville, In- diana, and her Masters degree at In- diana University in Bloomington. Mrs. Brunton has taught all different kinds of Business courses at Merrillville High School. After retiring, Mrs. Brunton plans to get married and then travel with her new husband. Her hobbies in- clude bowling, golf, and traveling. Mrs. Brunton said that every year at Merrill- ville High School has been a different and new experience in meeting new kids and members of the staff, but I ex- pect my life upon retiring will be even more different and exciting. 191 Secretaries Aides Shirley Barclay— Registrar, Elizabeth Fra sea— Main Office Secretary, Dorothy Goetze— Of- fice Manager, Marlene Har- mon— Main Office Secretary.

Brasich M.M. Piatak Stella Souronis Producing a yearbook takes a lot of time, effort and interest on the part of many people. The main objective was publishing an appealing representation of life at Merrillville High School. To accomplish this, the staff was lucky to have the support of many individuals. For this, thanks go to George Kingsley of Herff Jones for all his guidance and patience in getting the book together. Also, a thank you to John Giolas and his studio for all their assistance in our printing and supply needs. Special thanks are in order for two Merrillville teachers; first, to Dave Abraham and the graphic arts department for the special artwork designs on the cover and the division pages of the book; and to Agnes Lynch, for all her support and interest in the production of Mer- rillvue, as well as her own beautiful sonnet dedicated to the Senior class. We also thank the entire Merrillville administration and faculty for all their cooperation throughout the year. In addition to these people, the staff and the editor wish to express our deep appreciation to our rookie advisor, Mr. Bruce Woods, for all the pizza, pop, and patience he provided us all year. And thanks to the staff who worked very hard. SOME way into the summer, just to make the book the best it could be. The 1979 Merrillvue is printed on 80 pound Ermine Special by Herff Jones Yearbooks of Montgomery, Ala- bama. The cover metal inlay was a special order design of the Merrillville crest. The cover color of antique blue is highlighted by the crush grain. Corresponding endsheets were chosen of gold standard stock. Copy and captions throughout the book are set in 10, 8, 6 point Melior with Italics type. Subheadlines of 14 point Melior were used on special spreads and title page, with 24 point Melior headlines used on the remaining pages. All other artwork and special headlines were handset by staff members.
