About the School TROPHY CASE MR. SPOHN HISTORY STUDY There are many features to be noticed about the Hammond High School. The most noticeable is the governing body under the supervision of our elficient principal, Mr. Spohn, and his assistant, Mr. Rupp. These two men are ably assisted by Miss Carlson and Mrs. Mecum. It is the duty of all these executives to take care of all delinquent and failing pupils, issue programs, check tardies and absentees, get out the announcements, and a hundred other things that come up daily. Another feature is the complete laboratory system of our school, from which may come some famous chemist or scientist. The physics laboratory in charge of Mr. Hayes and the chemistry laboratory in charge of Mr. Rupp and Mr. Long are the scenes of many experiments. Crawling snakes, growing plants and a fish aquarium make up the biology laboratory, zealously guarded by Miss Reeder and Miss Gustafson. In the cooking room the girls are taught how to balance meals, how to cook and bake properly, and from the aroma that penetrates the halls, one is well aware of the fact that Miss Heiner is doing her bit to make this an enticing subject for every girl in our school. The trophy case, which stands in the main hall, gives evidence of the places Hammond High has won in contests. If one looks over these, it can be readily seen that we have won a goodly number of first places in events. Among the treasured trophies is the one gained by winning the state orchestra contest for three years in succession. BIOLOGY LABORATORY OFFICE Cooicmc CLASS

SPOHN, PRINCIPAL HAMMOND, INDIANA To THE STUDENTS or THE HAMMOND ' l HIGH SCHOOL: A great teacher Once wrote to his pupils a message which I would at this time might be my message to you. It has to do not with fame and fortune, ' or worldly success, but with the deeper things of the spirit. lily friends, you are in the morn- ing of life. Birds sing, dew sparkles, the breath of dawn is sweet. The dayls work is before you, and life calls to action. In your school days you have dreamed of a future and it was beauti- ful. If you would have the dream come true, you must, with an undivided devo- tion, be true to the light that is yours. At times it will be lost behind clouds of discouragement, or the great bulk of some mountain of difficulty will hide it from you. Yet be faithful and 'fol- low the gleam'g let not sour cynicism or worldly indifference or any selfish desire MR, A, L, SPOHN separate you from your love. With heart steadfast, trust Ong the 'vision splendid' will float again into your sky.

These are all printed in our own print shop by our own students. L1BRARY Bovs' GX'MNASIUM Boys' Pool.
