We have tried to the very best of our ability to show how Hammond High attempts to fulfill these principles. However, it is difficult to separate these four objec- tives. We have discovered that all activities and classes are relative and there can be no sharp breaking point. The purpose of the i952 DUNES is not solely to entertain you but to educate you and acquaint you with the imperative needs of youth at Hammond High School. We sincerely hope that we have succeeded.

Early-comers were pressed into service helping to set up ping-pong tables, removing chairs from the cafe! teria, and checking up on the games in Room 5. Two other parties were also the activity kind but were well organized. An important event in the sophomores' social calendar was the Sophomore-Junior party, whichuwas the only dignified dress dance of the year.

This is an imperative need of youth. The school must fill this need by providing knowledge for understanding in its program of activities and in its classrooms. Through its varied program of clubs, the school has taught its students respect of people from other countries. In the International Club students learn to understand child- ren of all countries by carrying on correspondence with them. The Spanish Club, the German Club, and the junior Classical League extend knowledge of other countries. The Red Cross activities in the school instill in the students a desire to help those people in other countries less fortunate than they. Through programs in the school, students also learn about the customs of foreign peoples. Hammond High School teaches its students to respect other people in general, whether they are in automobiles on the highways or welcoming a new member into their school. Students are taught to respect the achievements of others. Through its contribution drives of cancer, polio, and heart, students help to relieve the difficulties of others. The school strives to teach understanding to its students through administrators and students working together to solve their problems. Hammond High makes traditional subjects more func- tional through its visual aids department. Recordings of all types are used to supplement classroom work. Reference books are available to all students. Hammond High's excur- sions to Inland Steel, Standard Oil and to other local indus- tries help develop a value system. The annual trip to Wash- inton, D. C. makes national tradition alive in the individual. Hammond High School has succeeded in teaching to its students, respect and understanding of others, Forty-one Success Through Brotherhood When I think of the word brotherhood, a picture comes to my mind-a picture of a Caucasian, a Negroid, and an Asiatic, of a Jew, a Catholic, and a Protestant, of an Irishman, a Dutchman, an African, and a Swede, all working to- gether towards that common goal of every man, which is peace with God and his fellow man, security, and love. This goal can be obtained in no way except through true brotherhood. Superimposed upon this picture is a picture of acceptance of the man as an individual-a picture of warmth and satisfaction derived from comradeship between man, not among races or religions, but between man and under God. Do you know why the United States is the strongest, most advanced, and most unified nation on the earth? Let's bring it even closer to home. Do you know why you receive three nourshing and plentiful meals a day? Why you have warm and attractive clothes, comfortable homes, transportation, and entertainment beyond the hopes, prayers and imag- inations of people in other nations? Because we have combined the various elements, white and black, Catholic and Protestant, German and Hawaiian, Mexican and Canadian. What was impossible for them to do alone has been accom- plished through their combined efforts. Down through the ages there have been incidents of aggression and intolerance and persecution by those factions who have thought they were superior. The most recent example of this was the Nazi regime. The superior race-supermen. They persecuted the Jews and anyone else who didn't believe exactly as they did. They had to be suppressed and they were. These factions have always been suppressed, but never without the cooperation of man representing all races, colors, and creeds. Look at it from a scientific point of view. You have element A , It is worthless and has no known use. You also have element B , which is worthless and has no known use. They seem completely valueless. However, when you combine these two individually important elements to form compound Z , you create an extremely useful and valuable compound w1th many uses. Brotherhood can be, must be, and will be the success of our world. What is more worthwhile and satisfying than that feeling of warmth, belonging, comradeship, and love which can be derived in no other way than through true brotherhood. That is the way God intended it to be. Remember whether you are Catholic, Protestant, or Jew, you all worship the same God, even though through different customs. People speak of racial and religious tolerance. I dorft like that word tolerance. There must be not only racial or religious tolerance. I don't want to be tolerated-I want to be accepted as an individual, and Iim sure you do also. If everyone practiced this principle, there would be no need for Brotherhood Week. Here in Hammond High School we already have brotherhood, not tolerance, but brotherhood. It is now our duty to share this brotherhood with the world. The world needs it, is ready for it, and will accept it, and as a result the entire world, including you and me as individuals, will benefit.

The Y-TEENS are the junior members of the Y. W. C. A. Entertaining meetings and many social activities were planned by sponsors Mrs. Karris and Miss Alderton and officers Shirley Pearson, president, Clare Fuller, vice-president, Pat Rigg, secretary, and Kathryn Inkley, treasurer. One of the speakers was Hammond Highis faculty member Miss Kring, who showed movies of her trip to Europe. Also the California Zephyr Railroad presented a travelogue about the West. Other activities included a combined breakfast and Christmas party, a demonstration by a hair stylist, and a splash party followed by a pot luck dinner. Any high school girl is welcomed into the Y-Teens. The purpose of the organization is to provide an opportunity for a girl to get into school activities. The club motto is to find and give the best. The HI-Y CLUB, organized in 1929, has contributed through the years both materially and spiritually to our school. Interested in furthering Christianity, the club sponsored an Easter observance week and sent delegates to the Y.M.C.A. Training Camp in Delphi, Indiana. A delegation was also sent to Connersville, Indiana to represent Hammond High School in the state Y.M.C.A. convention. Through the efforts of the Hi-Y Club, Doctor Nilkanth Chavre presented an informative and amusing auditorium session on India, his former home. Other activities of the club included a clean speech campaign, the selling of purple and white beanies , and the sponsoring of several paper drives. Ronald Howard served as president, Charles Miller as vice-presidentg Wayne Freeman as secretary, and James Mc- Nabney as treasurer. Mr. Lundgren served as faculty sponsor for the club.

Marilyn Schroer presided as president, Joan Eads as vice-president, Lois Olson as secretary, and Kay Kerr as treasurer. Hammond High had four officers in the city council of the junior Red 'Cross. They were Trudy Eggers, president, Marilyn Schroer, secretary, Sheryl Woody, second vice-president, and Jerry Tankel, treasurer. The Red Cross sent overseas one hundred gift boxes to needy children. Also they made tray favors for the hospital and a book cart for Saint Ann's Home. The organization helps develop an understanding and a feeling of friendship for children of all countries and races. The INTERNATIONAL CLUB, which is sponsored by Miss Taylor, has a membership of eighteen. The officers were as follows: president, Charmaine Piekarczykg vice-president, Barbara Labarg secretary, Mary Lou Beyer, and treasurer, Shirlee Hammond. The group originated in September, 1948, when students who were interested in correspondence with people of other land came together. At a dinner for club members Miss Kring, who took a trip to Germany during last summer,s vacation, told of her trip and showed pictures. The club also took a trip to Chicago's Chinatown and visited several museums. Widening the understanding of people of different lands and creating an interest in travel and a desire for better understanding of international relations are the chief benefits of this school organization. l INTERNATIONAL CLUB Slumling: Piekarczyk, Miss Taylor First Row: Labar, Harbin, DeR0sier, Briggs.

At the first meeting each newcomer to Hammond High School introduced himself, told about his former school, and gave his opinion of our school. Peggy MacNary spoke to the group explaining school activities, and Donald Howard explained the functions of our school government. After taking a tour of the building, the newcomers visited various clubs in order to help determine which they would like to join. Miss E. McCullough sponsored the group. The AUTOMOBILE CLUB, sponsored by Mr. Beyer, was orignally organized in 1930 as a physics department club for the purpose of learning about automobile mechanics. The purpose has been changed, since girls have been ad- mitted to membership. The membership is limited to juniors and seniors who have a driver's license. Films and fine pro- grams were presented to the members, with emphasis upon the hazards of driving on highways and city streets and respect for the other fellow behind the wheel. Elwood Evans presided as president, with Mickey Payer, vice-presidentg Don Kepperling, secretary, Richard Chizmar, treasurer, and Bill Purdy, sergeant-at-arms.

These pictures gave the students a realistic idea of how our European neighbors live. Other activities for the year included a skating party, a Christmas party, and a banquet given in honor of the graduating seniors who were members of the club. The big project for the year was translating letters from German to English for the Red Cross. For its own bene- fit, a scrap book was compiled showing the club's activities for the past five years. Janet Langdon was president, Alex Zaluckyj was vice-president, Don Herr was secretary, and Earle Lloyd was treasurer. Miss Reichl was the sponsor of the club. GERMAN CLUB First Row: Iiads, Stabler.

The club gives a member a chance to form friendships with fellow Latin students and to become a leader. Participation in the year's program offers an opportunity for understanding the customs and mythology of the ancient Romans.

To this end, most youth need supervised work experience as well as education in the skills and knowledge of their occupations. All youth need to know how to purchase and use goods and services intelligently, understanding both the values re- ceived by the consumer and the economic consequences of their acts. Learning business techniques is an imperative need of youth and the school must be used as a stepping stone into either business or higher learning. Through its Distributive Education program, Hammond High School has prepared its students to take their places in the working world. In classes they learn proper customer tactics, fine points of selling, operation of a cash register, and how to dress properly for selling. Hammond High has also taught its students proper sell- ing tactics and proper handling of money through its various treasuries and advertising projects. The foods department of Hammond High School care- fully plans shopping projects to teach its students good bud- geting and buying habits, Through Hammond High's typing, clerical practice, and consumer information classes, many students are able to secure outstanding positions in the busi- ness world. Through the student-run bookroom staff, stu- dents put into practice what they have learned in their classes. Teachers visit industries in the region each year through the Business-lndustry-Labor-Education program, or B. l.E. Day. Students learn of business projects in their classrooms through speakers from business and industry. Students hear people from different professions and universities at a career night and a college night program. Students ask questions and obtain any information that will help them choose a career or college, Parents may attend these conferences. Through its extensive business program Hammond High School better equips its students to take their places in a complicated society.

Clark High School inspired Hammond High to start one in 1949. Since it is customary to name the club for a person distinguished in the field of education, the group is called the A. L. Spohn Future Teachers Club, in honor of Hammond High's former principal. The purpose of the club is to interest capable young people in the teaching profession. Under the sponsorship of Miss Kessing and Mr. Soderquist the officers were Mary Kutzner, presidentg Sandra Schmitt, vice presidentg Shirley Norton, secretary, Lyndon Dean, treasurerg Bob Mings, historian, Pat Moore, song leader, and Nancy Phares, librarian. l F.

Through its classes, -sociology, psychology, economics, home management, clothing, foods, and literature, Hammond High School students discuss and learn about good home and marriage relation- ships. Students who work in the school cafeteria learn about handling food and put their knowledge to work by serving at school banquets and parties. The school provides a strong Parent Teacher Association to effect a better understanding be- tween parents and teachers. Each year, Hammond High sponsors a Back to School Night for par- ents to acquaint themselves better with the classes and teachers of their students. The school provides many activities for closer parent-student relationsihips. Through its Dad's Night and lVlom's Night programs, students learn to have fun with their parents. Wholesome boy - and - girl friendships are en- couraged in school classrooms and home rooms as well as in out of school activities through the policy of non-segregation. Happy family activities of many faculty mem- bers set a pattern for students. Hammond High School has succeeded in teaching to its students the importance of wholesome family life.

Its chief objective is to help the students gain some understanding of the requirements for entrance into a school of nursing. Members also learn how to evaluate the programs of various nursing schools. The meetings, which are held once a month after school, consist of movies regarding nursing, speakers representing various branches of nursing, and a tour of the local hospital.

Opportunities are offered for individuals to display their abilities in the field of science and due recognition comes to them and their school for their advancements. Each year the Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science award is given to an in- dividual for achieving the highest scholastic record in science subjects during high school and an award is also made to a state winner of the annual state science talent search. At Hammond High School, emphasis is placed upon the understanding of plant and animal life. In classrooms experiments are made by students, from which they learn the composition of every living thing. For those students especially interested in care and training of plants, the Plant Club has been established. Work in the field of science is also carried on through field and laboratory exercises. Hammond High School recognizes the force of modern science and it attempts to teach its stu- dents to respect it.

This club was originated in 1949 so that students might become better acquainted with all fields of science. The club is of value to students, for its encourages and assists students of science to work on a single scientific project during their high school career. In their senior year students are encouraged to participate in the National Science Talent Search, conducted annually by the Science Clubs of America. The RADIO CLUB, which is one of the youngest Hammond High organizations, originated in 1949 when a group of radio enthusiasts asked permission to form such a club. - The nine members, under the direction of Mr. Wood, work experiments dealing with the fundamentals of radio. These experiments offer the members an opportunity to study transmission and reception. Members also learn to con- struct a simple radio set. The club gives the members much of the early training and experience needed for higher work in the field of radio. The club officers were Tom Carothers, presidentg Ray Malone, Vice-presidentg Tom Reed, secretaryg and John Wat- son, treasurer.

Through its program of social activities, Ham- mond High School has made special effort to in- terest all youth in worthwhile school activities. Different organizations sponsor school parties and after game dances. Two semi-formal dances are given each year and the annual Senior Dance is given for all Hammond High students. Another big social event each year is the junior-Senior Prom, which is given for the seniors by the juniors. ln Hammond High School, the faculty as well as the student, make good use of their leisure time. Hammond High School provides adequate space and equipment and a proper daily schedule for leisure time activities. Because of its two swimming pools, students are able to learn the technique and enjoyment of swimming. Room 5 at Hammond High has been set up especially for the students to use. ln this room, students may play checkers, ping-pong, cards, or various games. In these ways, therefore, Hammond High has successfully fulfilled its duty in teaching balance of leisure time to its students.

Under the direction of Peggy MacNary, Secretary of Student Activities, Dave Barter, Undersecretary, and Miss Georgia Ander- sen, sponsor, plans were made for events that would meet the many needs of a large student body. The social calendar included the winter formal and the spring semi-formal, innumerable soc-hops, dress dances, all school parties, and square dances. Each noon many students enjoy the activities in the social room. The social department not only provides an opportunity for students to enjoy themselves but also teaches the basic principle of citizenship and cooperation. In planning the many events students learn to Work together toward a common goal. Hammond High's social program is a success. It will be so only as long as students are willing to make it succeed.

A school must fulfill its duty to its students by training them not only in athletics, it must develop a sound physical education program as well. Hammond High has succeeded in preparing its students to this end. A nurse and a student staff solve students' temporary troubles. The nurse is a member of the Hammond High faculty. Health records are maintained by the nurse and used by counselors. There is a school doctor who gives periodic health examinations. Hammond High promotes a wide range of physical activi- ties, some for small groups, some for large groups, and some for individuals. Hammond High School provides daily gym classes and swimming classes for boys and girls. Girls intramural activi- ties include basketball, speedball, volleyball, baseball, and ping-pong. Boys activities provide many opportunities for indi- viduals to display their talents or to find leisure. Most of these activities include the Turkey Run, horseshoe con- tests, free throw contests, and inter-advisory basketball tour- naments. Hammond High School offers almost every available ath- letic activity to its students. Through participation in swim- ming, tennis, golf, baseball, cross country, track, football, and basketball, students learn the meaning of athletic hon- esty, hard work, fair play, and satisfaction. Hammond High School has done its part in developing the minds and bodies of its students. Seventy-five NURSES STAFF Lefl fo rigbis Fcgcly, MacMillan, Banos., Rciff, Stanford.

Mr. Wonsowitz sponsored the 52 members and the following were the club's officers: Wayne Freeman, president, John Pomplin, vice presidentg and LeeRoy McNeil, secretary. The SWIMMING CLUB, a part of the Girls' Athletic Club, functioned under the watchful eye of Miss Meis- ter. Since there were many girls interested in joining, the club was divided into two parts. The more advanced swimmers went into the senior section while the others were in the junior section. During the first semester, stunts and rythmatic swimming were learned, so that the girls could make a good showing in the water ballet at the Mardi Gras. From February to June the club learned how to save drowning victims.

The girls intramural activities consist of team sports which fill a great need in a girl's life. She is never exposed to a situation where success depends on teamwork, but rather where the development of group loyalty is of para- mount importance. Here, being definitely indentified with a specific group, there comes a pride of achieve- ment-win or lose. The aim of the girls intramural department is to train many rather than a few, since this plan creates none of the pressures built up by inter-school competition. The sports in which a girl may participate are speedball, volleyball, tumbling, swimming, life-saving, basketball, bowling, ping-pong, softball, and, if the Weather permits, archery and golf. The G.A.C. is governed by a board of directors, which is elected by the members of G.A.C. The board of direc- tors is headed by Miss Dieterich and Miss Meister. The G.A.C. works to provide a better sports program for all girls. They also plan parties for the girls at the end of each sport season.

Ninety-five SWIMMING The 1952 swim team, under the guidance of coach Jules Papais, carried the Purple colors in a manner which was typical of great Hammond teams in the past. Starting the the season like a house afire, the Cat tankmen captured their first six meets before bowing to New Trier, Illinois State champs. After losing to New Trier, the Wildcats ran up victories over South Bend Central, Culver, Whiting, and Thornton of Harvey. At the conference meet on February 16, the Wildcats lost the loop crown to South Bend Central, 67-58. The Cats, league leaders for two years, had a 58-53 edge over Central going into the final event, but drew a disqualifica- tion when one of the Purple swimmers failed to touch a wall in making a turn. In the state finals at Purdue on February 23, the Pape men surprised everyone by copping their third straight state crown. By rolling up 61 points to South Bend Cen- tral's 57 points, the Cats avenged their NIHSAA loss to the Bearcats of February 16. Big guns for the Cats was Bob Martin, who set a new state record in the 100 yard breast stoke. Jim Etter won a first in the 100 yard free style, while the 150 medley relay team composed of Bob Martin, Gary Montgomery. Bob Wfiborg, John Pellar, and John Watson splashed its way to a new state record.

Mr. King coached the team. BASEBALL Hammond High baseball fans were looking forward to the 1952 baseball season with great optimism, and not without good reason. After nine games, the Cats proved themselves to be one of the top squads in the Western Division. The 1952 infield was centered around Allen Perdew, Bill Schwingendorff, Jim McCullough, Fred Phares, Ron Pruitt, James Rausch, who alternated between pitcher and the infield, and Joe Baliga, third baseman and pitcher. Top purple outfilders were Bill Boatman, Joe Schafer, Frank Shaw, Ken Crowe, and Bob Anderson. Backbones of the Cat mound staff were Joe Baliga, Bob Anderson, Mickey Payer, and Lefty', Wahl. The Wildcat catching was handled by Bob Rathburn, Gus Hartoonian, and Jim Rausch. As of May 5, the Cats had achieved wins over Wash- ington 6-3, Emerson, 4-2, Tolleston, 5-0, Whiting, 2-1, and Tech, 7-0. The Purple suffered defeats at the hands of Lew Wallace, 7-1, Roosevelt, 3-2, Thornton Fractional, 6-2, and Clark, 8-4. CROSS COUNTRY Congratulations are in store for Purple harriers, who expecting to be something less than sensational last fall, surprised everyone, including Coach Wonsowitz, by placing thirteenth in the state meet at Indianapolis. Capturing the Hammond City Meet and the Gary Quadrangular, the Cats reached their peak in the Hobart Cross Country Invitational, placing third behind Chester- ton and Valpo. Stellar performer of the season was versatile Willie Lewis, who headlined the Cats to a victory in the City Meet. Right behind Willie were Wayne Freeman and Leroy McNeill, who were nothing less than spectacular. Most improved runner on the cross country varsity was John Hess. Barely able to make the frosh-soph squad in 1950, John earned a varsity letter last fall. Top member of the sophomore squad was Jim Bereolos. Leading the Wildcats to Tri-City championship, Jim earned a place on the varsity, replacing Wilbur House in the state finals. Other outstanding sophomores were Stan Kulka and Dick Kowal. The outstanding thing about last year's cross country squad was that all members of the varsity except Bill Yedi- nak and Wfilbur House will be back next fall. After qualifying for the finals last season, Coach Won- witz expects big things of the harriers come fall, 1952. TRACK As usual, coach Whitey,' Wonsowitz came up with another crop of jet-propelled tracksters this season. The Purple thinlies gave a slight glimpse of things that were to come by beginning the indoor season with easy victories over Hobart, 53 1!3 - 42 213 and Lew Wallace, 69-40. Moving into the city indoor meet on March 18, the Wildcats captured 11 out of 13 events to snow under Clark and Tech. In the Hammond Indoor Quad- rangular on March 22, the Cats tallied 68.8 points to emerge victorious over Laporte, 44.8, Ft. Wayne, 43, and Mishuwake, 37. 3 Coach Wonsowitz's charges became N.I.H.S.A.A. Clndoor Champs, on March 25 by racking up 54 1!5 points to finish ahead of Froebel, Washington, Roosevelt, Lew Wallace, Valpo, Tech, Clark, and Emer- son. At the Hoosier Relays at Indiana U. the following week, the Cat's mile relay placed second to Evansville Bosse, while speedy Ray Kuzos grabbed a first in the sprints. Beginning the outdoor season on April 7 with a tri- angular victory over Lew Wallace and E. C. Washington, the Cats looked like world beaters when they swamped Thornton Fractional, 71W-372, on April 9. On April 19 the Cats tasted defeat for the first time when they placed second to powerful Gary Roosevelt in a triangular meet. Once powerful Gary Froebel was completely out- classed by both the Panthers and the Wildcats. In the Goshen Relays the following week, the Purple, although beating out 11 other squads, were again forced to play second fiddle to Gary Roosevelt. However, the Wildcats returned to the victory trail on April 22, recording a 71-38 victory over E. C. Roosevelt. In the NIHSAA Conference Trials on April 26, the Cats placed eight in- dividuals and both relay teams in the NIHSAA Confer- ence Finals at Mishawaka on May 3. On April 29, the Purplelthinlies again showed their skill by capturing the Hammond City Track Meet. The Wildcats became the NIHSAA Conference Champs on May 3 by outlasting E. C. Washington and 16 other squads. In their tune-up meet on May 6, the Cats slaughtered Whiting, 642 - 44 M. Prior to the all-important State Sectional, the Purple half-mile relay team looked like a sure bet to qualify for the state finals on May 24. Built around Don Snow, Jim Sane, Wayne Freeman, and Bob George, the half-mile squad held the best time in the state. FOOTBALL Featuring hard running and good blocking, Hammond High started off the 1951 football season in high gear, showing Lafayette Jefferson, 28-0 The game was played September 13 on the Bronco's home grounds. The cats took command of the game in the opening minutes of play. After marching down the field to the Jefferson four yard line, Bill Takacs scored inside tackle to make the score 6-0. The Wildcats sewed up the game early in the third quarter when Bill Takacs went off tackle for six yards and paydirt. Instrumental in the purple victory was an outstanding Wildcat defense, which held Jeff backs scoreless. After being held to a scoreless first half, Purple grid- ders came back strong in the third quarter to nip an underdog Thornton Fractional eleven, 7-0. Big thorn in the Meteor's side was Joe Baliga, who flipped a 3-yard pass to Bob George in the end zone, for the game's only mark. A notworthy performance was recorded by the Purple defensive unit, which kept Fractional's tail backs in check the whole evening. Unbeaten in two starts, Wildcat gridders tasted de- feat for the first time on Sept. 21, bowing to Bishop Noll 39-12. Only bright spot of the game was a 25 yard touchdown pass from Al Perdew to end Bob George, mid- way in the first quarter. Bob Lawrence scored the other Cat marker in the fourth quarter, falling on a blocked punt in the end zone. The Wildcats returned to the victory trail on Septem- ber 28, downing Clark's Pioneers 13-0. Big gun for the Cats was Frank Shaw, who tallied twice on jaunts of 37 and 86 yards, respectively. Hammond High made it two in a row the following week, defeating Horace Mann, 21-6. After spotting the Mann men a 6-O first period lead, the Wildcats Came back strong early in the second quarter when Joe Bandura scored from the one on a quarterback sneak. The Purple and White clinched the game in the third quarter Al Gomez galloped off tackle for 91 yards and a touch- down. when Hammond High's never say die Wildcats continued their victory march against Whiting, blasting the Oilers, 27-6. Big man for the Cats was Al Perdew, who scored one touchdown and set u p another. Sporting a 4-1 record, Purple gridders met defeat for the second time on Oct. 26, dropping a 47-19 verdict to East Chicago Washington. After holding the Senators to a 19-13 half time lead, the Wildcat defense crumbled in the second half, allowing Washington backs to cross the Purple goal line on four occasions. Most spectacular per- formance of the evening was recorded by QVashington's Travis Buggs, who reached pay dirt four times. The Cats came back strong the following week against Froebel, blasting the Blue Devils, 13-O. Al Perdew and Joe Baliga scored touchdowns for the Wildcats. Big factor in the Purple victory over Froebel was the sensational Cat defense which bottled up the Froebel offensive strength. Finishing the season on a high note, Purple gridders toppled city rival Tech 20-6. Top men for the Cats was Al Gomez, who set up two Purple touchdowns on long runs. Leading scorer on the 1951 Purple football edition was Frank Shaw, who tallied six touchdowns for 36 points. Joe Baliga placed second in scoring honors, scoring 36 points. Power men were Al Gomez and Bill Takacs who to- gether gained 620 yards on 144 thrusts at the line. Frank Shaw gained 369 yards from scrimmage, while Al Perdew amassed 293 yards for a 5.0 rushing average. Leading Purple passer was Joe Baliga ,who completed 18 out of 44 passes for 323 yards. Ken Crowe made good on four out of six passes for 47 yards. Outstanding performances on defense were recorded by Fred Blackmun, Dean Auld, Jim Etter, Bob Rathburn, Joe Baliga, and Ray Kuzos. Both outstanding on piss defense, Baliga and Kuzos held enemy passing to a minimum. Top defensive ends were Blackmun and Auld, who con- stantly rushed opposing quarterbacks, hurrying their passes. Another stalwart on defense was line-backer Jim Etter, whose defensive efforts were instrumental in all Purple victories. Although small in stature, Bob Rathburn earned his laurels at center, playing on both defense and offense. Outweighed by most of his rivals, Bob more than made up for his size disadvantage.

Posting a 16-10 season record, the Cats, outside of East Chicago Washington, were the strongest quintet in the Western Division. Expected to be something less than sensational this season, Bob King's boys surprised everyone by copping the sectional and regional crowns. After bowing in defeat to South Bend Central in their initial start, the Cats racked up three wins in their next five games, bowing only to Fort Wayne Central and Muncie Central. Thumping Whiting 52-41 and losing an overtime heartbreaker to Valpo, the Purple scoring ma- chine gained momentum in mid-season play, ending up with an 11-9 pre-tourney record. In their pre-tourney game the Wildcats looked like anything but worldbeaters, losing a 66-52 decision to Marion Crawley's Jeff Broncos. Encountering East Chicago Washington's top-rated Senators in their first tourney game, the Wildcats were decided underdogs. Behind 20-8 after the first quarter, things looked dark for the Purple quintet. However, the Cats scored back in the second to take a two point half- time lead. With only a minute left to play and leading 57-55, the Cats stalled the remainder of the game to chalk up one of the seasonis biggest upsets. Downing East Chicago Roosevelt and Clark, the Cats were crowned sectional champs for the 13th time. Moving into regional -competition the following week, the Wildcats dumped Michigan City 56-49 in the after- noon, therefore qualifying for the regional finale with Valparaiso. Displaying torrid shooting and aggressive defensive play in the first half, the Cats eked out a 58-49 win, becoming regional kings for the eight time. Pitted against the Logansport Berries in the semi-finals at Lafayette, the Cats were confident of breaking their Purdue Fieldhouse jinx. However the jinx held and the Wildcats bowed in defeat for the fourth time in five years, 45-43. Scoring 1951-52 1 The leading scorer during the 1951-52 basketball season was Joe Baliga, who dumped in 389 points in 26 games for a 14.9 average. Dead Eye Dick Blythe finished second in scoring with 291 points, while Jim McCullough placed third. Baliga also topped the squad in field goals, free throws, free throws attempted, and personal fouls. Jim McCullough was exceptionally effective from the free throw circle, hitting 54 out of 77 charity tosses for a .704 average.

Almost thirty years ago the Hammond High STUDENT ASSOCIATION was formed to give students the oppor- tunity to practice self-government and to gain a better understanding of democratic principles. Through the years in assuming more and more responsibility for self govern- ment, the Association has become an important part of school life. The Association is the student body, governed by the House, the Senate, the Court, and the presidentis cabinet. Fred Blackmun as president, Don Howard as vice-presi- dent, Miss Strange and Mr. Hill as sponsors, the Associa- tioned planned and carried out several major projects. In October the gala Mardi Gras attracted many mem- bers of Hammond High. The March P.T.A. program pre- sented some of Hammond High's outstanding achieve- ments in scholastics and activities. The annual Association Vfeek, held in May and highlighted by Hawaiian Day, in- cluded Honor Day, Citizenship Day, and a banquet. Throughout the year the Association was called upon to help with special events such as B.I.E. Day, Career Night, and College Night. Routine duties included revision of the student handbook and the constitution. When students carry out such projects, they accomplish one of the prin- ciple objectives of all student activities, the development of good citizenship in a democratic world. The SENATE, under the guidance of Mr. Hill, helps to regulate and plan many school functions. Officers of this organization are president, Fred Blackmung recorder, Shar- on Ambler, and parliamentarian, Bob Graham. The Senate, the upper branch of our school Congress came into existence in 1923 when the Hammond High School Constitution was adopted. The Mardi Gras, Association Week, The Student Hand- book, soc-hops, campaigns for school spirit, and orientation for new students have been the chief projects of this part of the association.

One hundred six to find beciuty in the orts ond noture All youth need opportunties to develop their capacities to appreciate beauty in literature, art, music, and nature. Students should learn to appreciate the high scholastic abilities of their fellow students. ln gaining scholastic recog- nition, as in gaining recognition of any kind, there is much hard work. Freshmen with a B average in solid subjects, are eligible for the Ace of Clubs. Sophomores who meet cer- tain scholastic requirements, are eligible for the junior National Honor Society. Seniors must have a scholastic aver- age of 92.77, before being considered for membership in the Senior National Honor Society. Four qualities are the basis of membership for all of the above mentioned honor groups-character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The art courses at Hammond High provide the student with the understanding of modern art and its applications. Hammond High's music department encourages the stu- dent to express himself freely and to appreciate this ex- pression. The vocal department consists of the boys' and the girls' chorus, the glee club, the choral club, and the a cappella choir. Smaller group participation is achieved through the several vocal ensembles. Students who enjoy playing musical instruments may join the junior band, senior band, or orch- estra. Smaller group participation is also achieved in this de- partment through instrumental ensembles. The senior band provides entertainment during the half of football games played on Hammond High's field. ln: the regional and state music contest, contestants from both vocal and instrumental departments received high honors. Hammond High School students are given the oppor- tunity to understand and appreciate literature through the Bohemian Club. Working and studying in the library also pro- vide increased appreciation of books and their contents. Appreciation of nature is also included. Nature is around us everywhere and one cannot escape its beauty or its impor- tance. Here in the Calumet Region there are many and varied forms of nature to be observed throughout the year.

The CHORAL CLUB is the group of students, mostly juniors and seniors, who enjoy singing light, accompanied music. They ap- peared in the Christmas and spring concerts and presented a Thanks- giving auditorium program for the student body. Gail Cole served the group as president, john Rapp as vice-presi- dent, Bill Brite, secretaryg Herbert Jablonski as treasurer, and Marilyn Brown as accompanist. In February, the Choral Club went as a group to see the The Student Prince in Chicago. The BOYS CHORUS is composed mainly of freshmen boys taking their first class in vocal music. Under the direction of Miss Water- bury, the boys are divided into two-groups--the Monday, Wednes- day, Friday group and the Tuesday, Thursday group. The MELODEARS, a group of twelve girls under the direction of Miss Waterbury, performed for a meeting of the Hammond Junior Women's Club, for the Goodwill organization, for the Hi-C, and for the mother-daughter banquet of the Hyde Park Methodist Church. In the state vocal ensemble contest held in Merrillville, Indiana, the Melodears were given a second rating.

The LIBRARY STAFF consists of students interested in becoming better acquainted with the functions of the library. Five-tenths of a credit is earned a period for one semester's work. However, this is onlyipart of the value gained by working in the library. By aiding other students in using the card catalog and Reader's Guide, the librarians themselves learn better how to use a library. Other staff members type, file materials, and wait on people as they come to the desk. By working in the library, each helper becomes acquainted with more magazines, books, and pamphlets thus broadening his literary horizon. The BOHEMIAN CLUB, sponsored by Miss Allman of the Hammond High School English department, was headed by Betty Abramson, with Aldora Graf as vice-president, Sandra Foudray as secretary, and Jack Jones as treasurer. The club held its meetings every other Tuesday morning during club period. The purpose of the Bohemian Club is to offer those students interested in a literary career a chance to have their work criticized by other members of the organization. Poems, essays, and original stories are read before the club for Comment and analysis. Through these discussions, the student often gains helpful suggestions on ways to improve his creative work. The ACE OF CLUBS is an organization for freshman students whose work is of the highest scholastic level. The club originated in 1923 when Catherine Walker, an upper classman, said that she thought there was a need for such an organization for freshmen. Thirty-four freshmen were members of the Ace of Clubs. Deanna Cooper was elected presidentg Warren Hildebrandt, vice-presidentg Stanley Kaminski, secretary, and Wayne Stuart, treasurer. Miss Pritchard is the club sponsor. The purpose of the club is to offer an opportunity for the members to become acquainted with other members of their class whose work is of the highest scholastic level. They learn to conduct meetings and become acquainted with parliamentary procedure. The IUNIOR NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY was organized to teach civic responsibility by creating interest in scholarship, stimu- lating a desire to render service, promoting leadership, and developing character in the outstanding freshman and sophomore students. The sponsors are Miss Exley and Mrs. Hays. The members must maintain a B average and are chosen for their willingness to accept responsibility, honesty, respect for and observance of law, and genuine consideration of others. They cannot be a member of an outside club. The officers of the organizaton were president, Tom Altg vice- president, Allen Tucker, treasurer, Ed Vennong and secretary, Donna Snyder. to develop tree expression All youth need to grow in their ability to think rationally, to express their thoughts clearly, and to read and listen with understanding. At Hammond High School students learn to express themselves through all types of speech work. Public speaking classes teach poise, self-con- tidence and aggressiveness. Students express their ideas through creative bulletin boards and school publications. Students learn to express the joy of victory. Hammond High teaches its students to express themselves through creative writings in which they express their needs, their desires, and their beliefs. The discussion technique is used liberally at Hammond High, discussions of movies, television programs, radio programs and books, develop free expression, the art of evaluating, and the handling of facts objectively. The panel method is encour- aged. One hundred twenty-one The NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE is an honorary speech organization composed chiefly of varsity speech pupils. The Speech Arts Club combines general speech stu- dents and those with N.F.L. membership. The N.F.L. was guided by a Forensic Board of five mem- bers, namely, Phyllis Beatty, Margaret Soderstrom, Harriet Van Blarcom, Charlotte Sennett, and Carl Lilliequist. The N.F.L. sponsored a December invitational debate tour- nament and enterd the Calumet Forensic League and the Chi- cago Debate League. The group took trips to South Bend, LaGrange, Columbia City, Downers Grove, and Purdue Uni- versity. They also gave performances before service clubs and other organizations. A solo speech meet was held at Hammond High in February. The club was originated in 1935 by T. D. Reed to promote inter-scholastic and community service speech programs. Hamxmond Highis Forensic League holds the all state record for both debate and solo events. Hammond has won the state debate championship eight times and has been runner- up six times. Hammond has also won fifteen state solo event titles to top the record of all other Indiana schools. Mr. Reed sponsors the N.F.L. and Miss E. Andersen the Speech Arts Club. SPEECH.ARTS AND N. F. L.

The club provides an opportunity for members to develop creative ability through writing, interpreting, and producing plays. The meetings are often colored by clever skits, panto- mimes, or talent shows.

I was eleven years old, and I had spent all my life in Bob's Roberts Hospital, it seemed. Actually, it was only a year and a half. I was originally put into the hospital with a case of scarlet fever, which later developed into polio. There was really not much doubt that I was very ill, because both my legs were para- lyzed and one of my arms, also, but I was certainly not the silent suffering type. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, in the hospital was forced to bear my complaints. It had actually gotten to the point where my own parents didn't like to come up to see me. The nurses and doctors Came into my room only when absolutely necessary. So it was that they arranged for me to have a new visitor. It was to keep my spirits up, they said. I was delighted when my nurse told me they were allowing a patient from the floor above to come down to visit me. Here was another victim who would listen to my many troubles. Later that afternoon, my visitor arrived. I was very much surprised and rather jealous to see that she was a young woman with dark skin and rosy cheeks. She was the picture of health and she was walking around. After talking to her, I learned that she was twenty-six, was very happily married, and had a year old son. She amused me with her little stories about her family. She was so gay, and light-hearted. Before I realized it, it was time for my friend to go. She was so pleasant I hated to see her go and besides that, she had listened to all my troubles and was very sympathetic. Later that evening, I asked my nurse what my friend was in the hospital for. I will never forget what she said. I.sn't she pleasant? You'd never know anyhing was wrong wih her, would you? She has a disease called multiple sclerosis. She can't live more than a few months. N For the first time, I began to really cry, not for myself, but for her. I felt so ashamed and miserable. just then, I looked up and saw a motto at the foot of my bed on the wall, that I had never noticed before. Ironically, the motto said, I cried because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet! EASTER IN KOREA By PAT LANE Flares are bursting overhead Like lilies, pure and white Scattered here and there the dead Lie still in the eerie light. The tanks and guns are still But only for awhile. The chaplains go to Joe and Bill With their only cure, a smile. There are no pills nord medicine Nor blood from way back home. All their thoughts are of their kin, They must kill to keep alive, On Easter, that's not right. For jesus rose, once more alive, To show us love, not fight. Yes, in Korea Easter's here But we can't stop to pray. Yet we have very little fear For God's with us all the way. MY GRANDFATHER By BARBARA HIRSCH Although my grandfather has been dead for three and a half years, I vividly remember his kind and gentle manner. His policy was well versed on all subjects. He read, listened to the radio, and preached. Because he was only five feet five, he stood erect to give the impression of being even taller. He had snow-white hair, which really went well with his dark complexion. Until the day my grandfather died at the age of eighty-two, he was well versed on all subjects. He read, listened to the radio, and talked among people about the topics of the day. He was a business man all his life and even though his son, my father, took over the store, my grandfather went to work everyday until he died. In his later years, instead of concentration on selling, he would act as a greeter when people came into the store. It became such a habit that people expected to see him at the door when they entered. When my grandfather wasn't there, they missed his pleasant smile of greeting and firm handshake. Even after three and a half years, people who have been away from Hammond, have come into the store and inquired, Where's Dad?,' Although my grandfather had four children, he was known to everyone as Dad. Everyone loved him for his sense of humor, his intelligence, and his kind manner. My grandfather lived with us for eight years. Often we were in- vited out and my grandfather would say as we went out the door, Have a good time and donit hurry back. The day my grandfather died, we were all sitting around the dinner table and just as if my grandfather sensed something was going to happen to him, he said, The two most important things in life are to be happily married and to have friends. Not more than an hour later my grandfather was dead. There aren't many people like my grandfather and I am very proud to say that I am the granddaughter of Adolf Hirsch. The Most Unforgettable Character l've Met By JOYCE CAMP Her soft, white hair framed her face with fluid waves. Set in a time-wrinkled face, her blue eyes sparkled like crystal, giving away her jolly manner and showing the wisdom of her years. She was a person not addicted to dieting, a fact betrayed by her plumpness. A naturally short woman, she was bent by the cares of her many hard years. She always presented a striking, bright figure, showing youthful enthusiasm wherever she went. She was seventy-five years old, but no one realized it. She had not lived an easy life, for she had reared fourteen children on the fruits of a poor farm in South Dakota. Her children took up most of the twenty-four hours in the day, and caring for them was hard work. She always managed to find the necessities of life for every- one, and a few small pleasures besides. School was a must for her childreng she had been a school teacher and realized the value of education. She had a liberal knowledge in most subjects and helped her children with their studies. Her wit was her most important trait. She could, without trying, make an ordinary statement into a a very funny remark. I believe her humor helped her over many rough spots. She was the headbof the family because her husband always let her make the decisions. She always had a knack of accepting everything as it came, good or bad, with a nod of her head and a witty remark. By her efforts, all of her children graduated from high school, four of her girls became school teachers, one became a nurse, and one boy graduated from college. To me she will alwavs be a remarkable character. She was not always gentle. Her voice carried authority, and a whack from her cane added persuasion. Like all old people she was a great one for talking. No one could return from an engagement without being fired a barrage of questions by her. She had the habit of making embarrassing statements at the wrong time, and it did no good to try and stop her. She was sure the younger generation was quite beyond hope with their bad manners and silly dress. I am not her only admirerg she made numerous friends and lost few. She was always interested in other people, and had a helping hand for them. I won't say she liked everyone, but she always told them just what she thoughtg however she could make a rather in- sulting remark in such a way that the person spoken to never realized he was being insulted. Wherever she went she had a host of friends, and she was always making new ones. This little, spry woman was at times exasperating and embar- rassing, yet above all very lovable. She was my grandmother, and my mother is one of her fourteen children. When she died last year, from the effects of a fall, we were all lost without her witty re- marks and dapper spirit. She is truly the most unforgettable charac- ter I've met. One hundred thirty three fTlJis essay was banded in as a cluss theme last November, and was later enlered in lbe ann-ual Scholastic contest in the essay divisionj REMEMBERING' By BARBARA COLLINGWOOD Some things happen in a child's life which he will never forget. Sometimes it is a horrible punishment or maybe an extremely ex- citing incident, as was one of mine. The following is an account of an incident which I will remember forever. Most girls don't know what it is like to see their father for the first time in five years. I am one of the unfortunate ones, though. When I was about three years old, my father was called into the army to fight for those he loved. Mother was unable to keep me because she had to work. We decided it would be best for me to go to my grandmother's home. Of course I received letters from both my parents occasionally and then I was the happiest child in the world to know that they still loved me. Grandma often told me stories of what kind of work Dad was doing and those stories were always something to look forward to. On the evening of August 14, 1945, We were eating our dinner and, as usual, listening to Gabriel Heatter. All of a sudden he shouted, Ladies and gentlemen, the war with Japan is officially over! My uncle jumped up, ran to the beroom, got his rifle, dashed outside, and began shooting at the sky. Immediately, all the men in the neighborhood were doing the same. My aunt, grandmother and I could do nothing but cry for.joy, because my three uncles and my father would be coming home soon Finally the day came when we were to meet Daddy at the station. That was the most wonderful day in my life because I hadn't seen him for five whole years and I didn't even remember how he looked or how he acted. There I was standing with our little group at the station. I was wearing a new blue taffeta dress and new black shoes. We heard the train coming with the whistle blowing hard and and the men shouting for happiness. Then the train stopped with a jerk and men came running out, calling for their families. Then I saw him! I ran to embrace him and began kissing him. I was so happy I could have screamed. All of a sudden my grand- mother seized me and scolded me. I had mistaken a strange man for my father. We apologized and, embarrassed, walked back to our crowd. I was near tears with disappointment. V Then a handsome young man walked toward us. I was sure he was my father, but for assurance I glanced at my grandmother. Shu nodded. My heart beat hard wth excitement and delight. I flung myself into his arms and kissed him. This time it was my father. I will never forget that moment of perfect happiness. TI-nat's My Mom! By ROSS BLYTHE It is a well know fact that the majority of mothers are kind, loving, gentle and sweet. My mother is in that majority group. A guy could look the world over and not find a mother as nice as his own. Whistler portrays his mother as a prim, neat woman in a black dress with her feet on a low stool. just let anyone try to get my mother to pose in a long, black dress with her feet resting on a stool! My mother is exceptionally neat, but she is so active that I wonder if she would be able to pose for a picture. Mother is like this new Shell gasoline-- She's Activated. Mother's name is Laura Lucille Marlowe Blythe, and she has been married twenty-five years to a man I call Dad. His full name is Leonard Wright Blythe. Mother is five feet tall, is brown-eyed, is gray haired and always has a sparkling smile. Mother is small, but she is dynamic. I very seldom see Mother in a robe. So many mothers are in robes One hundred thirty four until noon but not my mom. She gets up at six-thirty and is dressed and ready to start the day by seven, when my sister and I are just coming home from dreamland. Mom usually has the beds made and dishes washed by eight or eight-thirty. Mom helps in our grocery store part-time, and her duties there are shelf stocker, conversationalist, and general clerk. Mother usually helps Dad take care of his salary, too. When my parents were first married, Dad said, Good things came in small packages. My Grandfather Blythe didn't feel this way and he retorted, So does poisonf, I say that spice comes in small packages, too, 'cause that's my mom! Mistakes of Conscientious Parents By SHARON AMBLER Since our world today is in need of stable people, the responsibilities of parenthood have never been more important or more difficult. With the pattern of life becoming more complicated, parents are facing decisions of greater consequence. In my opinion there are several mistakes that conscientious parents sometimes make. All con- scientious parents want their child to become a happy, worthwhile adult. In an effort to develop this kind of adult the parents worry excessively over the child's behavior. Every movement made is checked in the latest child psychology book. If the action is not listed as normal in the book, these well-meaning parents stew and fret for fear that they have failed in parenthood. To harbor a feeling of failure may cause severe unhappiness among a husband and wife. If parents are going to be successful, unhappiness must never exist between marriage partners, They must never feel that their marriage happiness centers around a child. The child-parent relationship should never dominate the husband-wife relationship, for a child will grow and leave the parents to find happiness in each other. Unhappiness is the quickest way to a broken home. Although mistakes affecting parental happiness are severe, more frequent are those that directly affect the personality of a child. One of the errors made by many well-meaning parents is the over or under protection of an off-spring. Gradually to meet and accept responsibilities is the privilege of every growing human being. Parents who refuse to let the child make a few mistakes are committing as grave an error as those who thrust adult responsibilities on the im- mature child. A wise parent allows growth. A wise parent never creates a pattern into which a child must fit. Instead, he recognizes the possibilities and abilities that are present and gives opportunity for expression. A sure way to present to society a frustrated adult upon a developing Another mistake of false values to people, but many is to force the interests and habits of another youngster. that conscientious parents make is the presenting a child. Economic security is desired by most parents place too much importanceion material wealth. I have heard people say, I can't understand the nasty disposition of the Brown boy. His parents certainly have given him everything money can buy. Often it has been my wish to explain that if the Browns had spent more time giving the boy--understanding and placing before him worthwhile values and goals, his disposition might have ,been more pleasant. Material wealth can never replace worthwhile goals and values. Finally, we approach the problem of discipline. To me the mistakes do not lie in the strictness or leniency of discipline, but in the con- sistency and agreement of the parents. The degree to which discipline is strict or lenient depends upon the maturity of the youngster. Going to the extreme in either case can have a damaging effect on a grow- ing personality. However, consistency can never be overemphasized. Consistency does not mean that the pattern of discipline will not change. Yet the child must know that which is wrong today will be wrong tomorrow. Consistency must carry over and mean agreement between the husband and wife. A child knows what to expect at home usually knows how to behave. The rearing of children is an important and complicated respon- sibility requiring the sincere effort of both the husband and wife. No one can present a sure formula for satisfactory children. Parents can only help children prepare to accept a satisfying position in a complicated, adult society. MISTAKES PARENTS MAKE By DON HOWARD In my humble, immature opinion, my parents make many foolish mistakes. When I reach the time in my life when I have their knowledge and experience, undoubtedly my mind will be changed. At the top of my list of their mistakes I would place worrying. It is hard for me to realize how my mother and father can accomplish as much as they do and still worry so much about me. If, for example, I leave the house on a slippery night and take the car, I leave at 7:00 and before 7:01 shows on the clock, my mother begins her nightly task of wondering and fretting. The speed with which my parents can begin worrying carries over into the changing of their minds. One day, almost anything reasonable that I would like to do is o.k. with them. The next day not one thing that I say or do passes their approval. Nothing bothers me quite as much as the little ceremony we go through when I am with my parents and we meet an old friend of theirs. When I am introduced, I am the little boy you saw last when he was wearing white shoes and short pants. To hear the friend say, My, how you have grown in the past ten years ab- solutely sickens me. I wonder if they thought I was a midget and was going to stay the same size for the remainder of my life. Another interesting trait my'mom and dad possess is thelone that involves my health. When I was a small child I didn't mind wear- ing a cap or hat in nice weather. I think now that I am a high school senior they should change their ideas and not worry so much about a minor detail like a hat. If my parents would become just a little more understanding and realize that I can do somethings for myself. I think most of their problems would be solved. In the final analysis though, I think I picked a swell mother and father to spend my life with. A Supermarket By SHIRLEY ROBERTS Every Friday evening about six o'clock you can 'find my father and me starting on' a long journey through one of H-ammond's super- markets. Because my father is still a boy at heart, he likes to push the grocery cart. In the end, I usually have the cart, because like any child, he soon becomes tired of his toy. My father doesn't look for bargains. If there is something he likes, regardless of the price, he buys it. The quality of food is not all the same, but my father acts as if all corn comes from the same cob and all apples from the same tree. He must never listen to the radio or read the newspapers because brand names don't mean a thing to him. Because we don't know the names of the meat, the meat counter always presents a problem. We act like a couple of three-year-olds picking out penny candy. We point to the meat and then tell the butcher how much we want. We almost always buy more than is needed for one meal. ' Our next stop is the produce. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but my father likes oranges and nothing in the world could change his mind. My favorite fruit is a nice juicy apple. Of course. because he has the money and is three times larger than I am, he wins and I eat oranges for the next week. Now the battle starts. I want to have a coke in the refrigerator but he wants to have coffee in the canister. Again he winsg but be- fore we leave the store, I'll get something. By now we have a cart full of groceries and so we look for the shortest check out line. After what seems like hours, I start placing the groceries on the counter. When all the articles have been checked and a bill presented to my father, the clerk asks us if we want a box or a bag. If we get a box my brother will have somwhere to keep his toys. My dad likes the bag because it can be thrown away. Again the man get his way and it looks as though I .won't get a single thing. Now, who is going to carry the groceries? This question is usually followed by a small argument and once again my father wins and I have something- the heavy bag of groceries. When all the groceries have been put away, we remember all the things we forgot to buy and we begin making a new list of groceries for the next Friday evening. Television and Family Life By BARBARA WILSON There are so many world shattering problems in our present day and age that we seem to have forgotton the American family and its struggle for survival. In years before, families have been threatened by floods, plagues, and warsg but now we are once again being threatened by a new and terrible menace-television. We no longer hear the saying, God bless and preserve our happy home. Now it's God bless and preserve our television set. Families no longer spend quiet evenings at home discussing the day's happenings. Oh, to be sure the evenings are quite all right. No one dares to talk, sneeze, cough or breathe. This golden silence is shattered only by an occasional gunshot or argument. The argu- ments are usually about the same things-programs, contrast, brightness, and volume. Outside entertainment is absolete. When friends come over for a social evening, you merely nod them into a chair and shove a bowl of popcorn at them. This is only the beginning of the many problems that have managed to arise because of television. Accompanying these major problems are many minor pet peeves. For instance, don't you just love the person who, without asking, switches from one program to one which is already half over? Still better, how about the excitement of Watching Westerns from noon until six every Sunday? Oh yes, television is really a wonder. Now that we've seen the problems and pet peeves originated by this little scientific wonder, let's take a look at its more direct effect on the family. For instance take dad. He's definitely the mad scientistl' type. It's almost frightening to see him bend intently before the set, eyes wide with anticipation, twirling knobs just for the fun of it. If there's nothing wrong with the picture he'll knock it out of whack just so he can re-focus it. Mom no longer is the sweet-calm person she once wasg in fact, she's almost reached the state of complete nervous breakdown. The slight twitch she now has is a result of trying to keep peace in the family and food in the home for those light snacks that usualy resemble ten course dinners. The children are really the pitiful ones. They sit around like mutes, afraid to speak and unable to move about freely. If they want to leave the room they must crawl quietly past the television and be sure that they don't block the view. Oh yes, television is really a wonderful advancement for family life. It does so much to pro- mote unity, harmony anduinsanity in the American family. PLAY BALL By BETTE HAYWORTH As in the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love, so in the summer my father's fancy turns to thoughts of baseball. Here begins the confusion which lasts throughout the baseball season. During the baseball season one may find my father reclining leisurely in his favorite easy chair He is lost in the little world which descends upon him when he hears the immortal words of the umpire, Play ball! . Although he has both the television and radio on, these words come only from the radio. Turning the voice down on the television, my father turns the voice up on the radio, thus watching one game while hearing another. Even though my father says the games are clearer this way, to my mother and me the confusion is just begin- ning. This confusion is most noticeable at mealtime. Not actually eating with the family, my father runs from the kitchen to living room whenever the crowd screams. Sometimes, for fear of missing a play, he retires to his grandstand seat in the living room and there pro- ceeds to eat. One hundred thirty-five At our house, we don't speak during game time, and if by accident, company should drop around at this time, my father bolts upstairs to my room to hear the game. Another accident which may occur during game time is the ringing of the telephone. When we turn the radio down to talk on the phone, my father occupies a seat beside us to listen to the game. Or, applying another solution, he prances over and turns the radio up again, causing us to talk louder. I have found I am no match for Bert Wilson while he broadcasts a Cubs game. ' However, during game time, my mother and I find we are no match for a number of things, so whenever possible, we leave the house. Very often our Sundays throughout the summer are spent by driving in the country, faraway from signs of baseball. And then confusion ends as baseball season closes. I should say, it ends for awhile-my father is crazy about football. A Young Man's View of a Coke Party By LAVON HICKS ' I was just thinking about parties, In my last three years of high- school I've attended quite a few of them. CYou must realize I'm not bragging, just thinkingj and I guess the most useless of parties is the coke party. A coke party for both boys and girls is a cheap way of return- ing an invitation to people, without much effort involved. Mostly girls give coke parties, for when a fellow gives a party it is usually stag. All one has to do is buy a case of coke or whip up a bowl of punch and make some little sandwiches and he has the makings of a coke party. In most cases these parties are given on the night of a formal dance, for some other social get-togetherj a few hours before the event. The hostess invites most of the guests at school, telling them to bring friends. She may even call a privileged few to invite them. Also if two couples are riding together and one couple is invited, the other couple is invited to go if they so choose. When we arrive at a coke party, the hostess gives my girl's ensemble a thorough going over, glances at me, and then goes into a long song and dance of how pleased she is that we came, how nice we both look, Let me take your coats, and Have you met so- and so? S40-and-so is usually her mother, a roly-poly woman who is very much excited over her daughter's social success. CAs for her father, I guess he must take off for the nearest tavern or movie, depending on his virtues, because he's never around.j We walk into the living-room where the other guests are sitting around talking. We know almost all of them but don't recognize half of them because they are all shaved, combed, powdered, and dressed in their best. They are all perched on the edge of their seats, grinning like a bunch of chessie-cats, but very uncomfortable and ill-at-ease underneath. They've all brought along their best man- ners and are trying to look as bright and alert as possible. A few of the boys may even stand up awkwardly until my girl is seated or may even offer her their chair. QThis courtesy is extremely rare.j After we sit around for twenty minutes or so trying to look in- telligent, the hostess comes floating through the room, bubbling over with poise and charm, and tells everyone that refreshments are being served. This is when we really suffer! We're all wondering whether the refreshments will consist of cokes and those detestable little sandwiches they call canapes or punch and canapes. We're praying it won't be the latter. Almost everyone enjoys a coke once in a while, but some of the concoctions called punch that are served at these parties shouldn't be given to a goat. Any kinds of liquids may be mixed together to get the desired color and effect. One of the old favorites is to put one or two gallons of ginger ale in a bowl and dump in a quart or so of lime sherbet. Imagine the results! It's not only sickening to taste, but nause.:ing to look at, it resembles scum floating on a stagnant pool of water. Well, it turns out that the refreshments are punch and canapes so after my little cup of punch is handed to me, I move down past some scrawny centerpiece fall the while trying not to step on my girl's toesj to the other end of the table to where the horrible One hundred thirty six canapes are arranged on a triple tier lazy susan or something similar. They are l'Ritz crackers or soggy pieces of bread QI may take my choicej covered with anything from cold cream to Life- buoy soap. I pick one up only to find that it is the type of crackers that disintegrates at the first bite and scatters crumbs over my blue serge suit. I then decide I will try to avoid the canapes and eat things mounted on the end of toothpicks, which, I discover are olives stuffed with cheeze, glue, Simonize, or whatever the hostess found around the house when she was creating these deli- cacies, fa month before-hand, no doubt.J Finally, after I've poured the remaining half of my punch on a potted plant standing on the window sill, dropped one of the dread- ful canapes behind a drape, and pinned the other to the inside of my lapel, I get my date's coat and mine. We tell the mother how delighted we were to meet her. thank the hostess for a lovely time, lie to her about how marvelous', the refreshments were, rush out the door to the car, and leave for the dance. AMERICA, Land of Opportunity Uleul affection for the Unifed States and all her freedoms is expressed admirably in the exact wards of one of our high scbool boys who has been in lbis country less than one life.j By HARRY BERATIS year of his school How many realize what does this country offer to everybody? How many thought, who gave them the opportunity to become something in this world? Who gave you the opportunity to become a dentist, or engineer? Your parents? Their money? No! What value would their money have if there were no colleges, no univer- sities, no good teachers to contribute in your education, the educa- tion you dreamed when you were still in high-school? No, it's not money or parents. They play the second role in your success. Your country is the one who gives you a school and a teacher, so that you may have a chance to become useful Ameri- can citizen. Your country, my country, is the one that is going to help us again. Our America, her freedom, will give us what we want. You were born here, you lived all the years in this country, but you never realized what makes you live happy. You never thought of it, because everything is a routine for you. 'You never saw but one standpoint, yours, as a person who lives in America. You never thought how other people in other countries try to make their living, to educate themselves. You never thought why your nation and its people are superior to others. What chance would you have if you lived in a poor country in Europe? What oppor- tunities would you have to succeed? You would be one of these thousands that go to a small school, surrounded by people you will never learn their namesg still these people will be in your own class! Your teacher will never call you George or Joe, because he will never learn who is George and who is joe , He will call your last name and if you don't know lesson, you will get the usual bad mark, having no chance to make it a good one. Because the next time you will be called to stand by the board will be two months later, Where is your opportunity to succeed? In what way can you be helped? By teacher? He may give you some help one day and and the next day call you Joe , or even forget What a good opportunity for you, an American the value of his country! Where is your freedom? dom, the basis of a really democratic nation, a whom? By your call you George , who you are! who cannot realize Where is the free- nation which will be strong enough to give you everything you want? Why don't you try and find another country. which can be compared with the half of what America is offering you? But you don't, because you know that there isn't one. I was in one of these poor European countries, and I saw what opportunities that country was offering me, and what opportuni- ties My country was giving. The country you never thought to thank, for what is it doing for everybody, the country that gives you the title of an American citizen, the most powerful man in today's world. America is my country, she is the one who will take me by the hand and help me climb a mountaing she wonlt leave me not even when I'm on the top of that mountain, the name of which is SUCCESS. She is the land which will give me an opportunity to become a respectful citizen, an educated man, a strong personality, and I will succeed, because I love this country. I love MY America, and I'm going to fight for herg I'm going to fight for her freedom, so that somebody else will enjoy her Democracy too. America is my country, a land which everybody must be proud of! Appreciate your country by loving it and helping it to be strong enough. Thank God for His blessing, thank Almighty God for placing our America under DEMOCRACY! . . . V What the Bill of Rights Means to Me By KEITH KOOKEN We are Americans, and justly proud to be such, but in this de- cisive period when our footsteps shall determine the course of man- kind it is a necessity that we, the future leaders of America, know and have a thorough understanding of the basic principles of the government under which we have prospered for 176 years. In the main, these principles are to be found recorded on the pages of his- tory in such political documents, which were the products of our early leaders, as the Declaration of Rights, the Declaration of In- dependence, and our Constitution of the United Sates. A knowledge of principles and ideals contained therein is absolutely imperative for any American citizen. Both the Declaration of Rights and the Declaration of Independence contain lists of the rights of all free men as Well as lists of the the grievances inflicted upon our ancestors by the ruling government, the British Parliament. Following a bloody war of in- dependence, it was apparent that these free and independent states needed a formal code of law by which to govern themselves. Action followed this need which resulted in the Constitution of the United States. It is obvious that this code should correct the grievances and further the rights, ideals,.and basic principles which are now the firm foundation of our democracy. As a result, the first Congress meeting under the new Constitution, enacted ten amendments which served as a more definite statement of the rights of citizens. These history-making, liberty-protecting amendments have come to be known as the Bill of Rights. These amendments closely resemble the curtailments which the the American colonists would have liked to place upon the British Parliament in the years before their separation. The first Article contains our famous four freedoms, Religion, Speech, Press and Assembly and accounts for their endurance. The right of the people to keep and bear arms as found in the second Article seems to be of little necessity now, but when forbidden by the British, a deep impression was made on the minds of our early citizens and they consequently demanded that this right be honored by law. Pro- visions are made as to the security of the home concerning the quartering of troops and unreasonable searches and seizures. Rules of commond law, the rights of accused persons, the guaranty of trial by jury, and the respect of private property are dealt with to great extent, since these ideals were very dear to our ancestors as they saw them abused by the British Parliament. Article VIII, al- though rather misused, has its place in the journals of law. It regulates to some extent bail, fines, and punishments. The last two Articles concern additional rights of citizens and states' rights which are frequently discussed. To me the Bill of Rights affords the light of democracy which has often blinked in the wake of a gusty wind. The ideals found in the Bill of Rights constitute the principles which we as Americans should hold dearest to our hearts. Without these amendments shining from the Constitution our government and our rights would be insecure. These rights are valuable, therefore, as they are seen in application every minute of the day and every day of the year, securing and preserving your happiness and liberty as well as mine. This is what the Bill of Rights means to me. The Voice of Democracy By FRAN DOYLE QThis essay won first place at Hammond High in the Iunior Chamber of Commerce Speak for Democracy essay coniestj COne W'orld, built on a firm foundationj My name is Democracy and these words are my hope, my destiny, my battle cry. I have fought long and hard to instill in the hearts of men the ideals and freedoms I stand for, but my battle has only begun. My first stirrings were felt in the heart of Plato, a Greek phil- osopher, but the selfish world was not yet ready for so radical .1 change from its conception of exclusiveness in citizenship. I lay practically dormant until a revolutionary faction in feudal Eng- land, irritated by extension of royal power, authored the Magna Charta. The risc of Christianity and its teaching of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God contributed greatly to my early development. Christianity, originated with the message of Christ and espoused by such men as Martin Luther, emphasized the reality of universal human brotherhood through the medium of faith and belief. My first real test came in 1776, with the signing of a declaration of independence by a group of men weary of taxation without representation and domination by an unseen king. I spurred those colonists on to victory and they laid the foundation for a nation among nations, established on my ideals. Heartened and inspired by the successful revolution in the New World, the French revolted and shattered the shackles binding them to a tyranical monarch. England became a political democracy in 1867, through the efforts of men like Disraeli. Thus, I was grow- ing from a plaything of the few to the reality of many, through universal franchise. Perhaps you are one of the privileged few who have heard my voice and heeded my plea. And then again, you might be among the great numbers who hear nothing but the cruel threats and empty promises of a dictator. It is toward you, the tired, the poor, the huddled masses, that I direct my cry, a cry echoed by free- dom-loving people everywhere. Now, as I look upon lands established on my standards, I see symbols of the principles I stand forg countless houses of worship crowded with people paying homage to their God, each in his own wayg giant presses, grinding out printed pages, free to relate all sides of an issue without fear of liquidation. My eyes sweep the horizon and catch glimpses of swarming cities and thriving farms, or ever-expanding industries and a complicated system of highways, airways, and railways, stretching from one shore to the other. My eye pauses on schools and homes, intent on en- graving my message on the minds of new generations. I see great governmental institutions, erected by a people upholding a repre- sentative form of government. I realize the intangible symbols of my name when I see peace dominating the thoughts of men and justice ruling their hearts. I feel the happiness saturating a people free to choose their own livli- hood, their own way of life. My greatest dream is that someday my cry may fall on the ears of those masses shrouded in darkness. Then, and only then, will my battle cry become the anthem of a free world, a world ubuilt on a firm foundation. The quote at the beginning is an excerpt from fhe official hymn of the United Nations, One World.

It asks not what your beliefs are, only that you believe in mankind. I lift my lamp beside a golden door. The golden door of opportunity, ever beckoning.

Il bas been entered in District competilionj The early morning fog hung low over the green waters of New York Harbor, as the ocean liner formed a pattern of swelling waves which created a scenery of moving arrows on each side. Hovering by the railings of the three decks, men and women, clothed in skimpy black overcoats and shawls, enthusiastically pointed out the dark shadows of the skyline which was now sending its familiar bulk out of the almost inpenetrable mist. They presented a one-note symphony, a blend of many different foreign tongues-a tribute to world brotherhoodg it arose as almost an enormous, tense whisper. Suddenly all eyes turned toward the port side, all grew silent, deathly silent, as a huge steel-ribbed figure rose steadily out of the fog surrounding it. A torch held high, a crowned head, and enor- mous robe-covered body-all added to the awe of the fascinated spectators. i j But away from the crowd a tall, thin, lone figure stood at the railing of the stern. He was approached by a cheerful officer, whose brass buttons glimmered brightly through the fog. Great sight, the big lady, isn't she? The foreigner turned his eyes, filled with emotion, to meet those of the officer. He was wearing a thin dark peacoat and a pair of worn trousers, he seemed to be in his early thirties. His gaunt face showed the hardships of war. . In broken English he replied, Yes, but I like to look at the water better. What? You like to look at the water better? That girl means so much to millions of people, and you like to look at the water? Yes sir. You see, I come here because my brother Hans has called for me. I come to America from Germany for work, not to look at things. Listen, Mister. Do you see those people over there, and there, and there, and above you? They're cheering because that 'thing' means freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of work, and best of all, freedom of opportunityf' What you expect me to do? Can she give me work? Can she give me money for food? Can she give me house to live in?,' Mister, this is America. Here men are created equal, not borne above other men. Here poor men can earn a good living. They can live in country of democratic ideals and work up to a good position. Here ideas are held in high respect, and all men, good or bad, rich or poor, society-born or slum-born, and white or black, have equal chances for success. Years have passed since the officer and the man had their con- versation, but every morning now, a long figure, dressed in a brown tweed suit and a stylish gray coat, and carrying a rolled-up black peacoat, is seen standing on the end of Pier 23 just as the uplifted torch penetrates the fog. He meditates a moment or so before he leaves for his office. One hundred thirty eight My Memoirs By FRAN DOYLE High School! The very words spelled magic! I had been looking forward to entering Hammond High ever since I had heard people talk about what a great and wonderful place it was. Why, Ham- mond High basketball and football teams were feared by schools all over the state and the music department was recognized as the best in the city. There were two swimming pools at Hammond High and a student actually got credit for swimming, a sport I had heretofore associated with play. I was expecting four years of interrupted joy and happiness when I started high school in the fall of 1948. My dreams were shattered and came crashing down around me the first week of school. The magic had been utterly deflated by algebra. I struggled through the first awful semester, dreading the last period in the day when I stepped into room 218. I had learned the first and most important lesson-high school wasn't all sunshine and roses. Except for culprit algebra that first semester was a won- derful experience. I liked most of my teachers and I got good grades. By the second semester of my freshman year, I was a veteran. I was elected to the Ace of Clubs, freshman honorary, and became interested in several outside activities. By this time, I had made up my mind that algebra was a burden that must be borne. My ineffi- ciency in the subject still bothered me no end, but I felt I was doing my best. I attended every football, basketball and baseball game and I think I was one of the best boosters in the cheering section. When school was out in June, I was looking forward to my sopho- more year, but the stardust was gone and I faced it with reality. School was fun but you had to work. My second year at Hammond High started on an unforseen un- happy note. I had completely overlooked the fact that I must suffer through another math course, this time geometry. I started the course with the familiar feeling of dread, but I fared a bit better than I had in algebra. My other courses were interesting, and therefore I received fairly good grades in them. English was my first love and my teachers were all I had hoped they would be. During the second semester of my sophomore year I joined the Social Representatives and worked on nearly every school-sponsored party and dance. I looked forward to working on these projects for they brought me in contact with all kinds of people. I was the alternate House Representative in my advisory and became a regular when our representative had to quit school. This was my first real contact with the Association and I became very much interested in the workings of the organization. I served on several House committees and spent a lot of time after school working on various projects. I was the House Representative from my advisory during my whole junior year. I worked with the recorder and the sponsor of the House wholeheartedly that year and gained much experience. I continued to work on committee for school functions until I was named news editor of the Herald the second semester of my junior year because I soon discovered that I couldn,t do all I would like to. My new job consumed most of my free time and I had become very much interested in that type of work. Near the end of the semester I was asked to assist the editor of the Herald on the Senior edition. It was through working with him that one of the biggest moments of my high school career came about. I had known my boss for several months before I became interested in him. We started dating casually and soon were be- coming known as a steady twosome. On a starry April night he asked me to wear his ring and it has been weighing my finger down ever since. Our interests are more or less the same and we never lack conversational material. The summer before my senior year began, I could scarcely wait for school to begin. The word senior was music to my ears. The year started like all the ICSI. I had been elected editor-in-chief of the Herald and the paper was taking all my spare time. I loved and still love, every minute I spent in Room 11. The people who worked with me became my very best friends and I wanted to publish a paper they would be proud of. I've been told that once printer's ink gets into your blood, it's impossible to get it out and I guess that holds true with me, too. I love everything connected with a newspaper and I've decided to make it my life's work. By February I knew I was really a senior. Talk of pictures, clothes, calling cards, announcements, Baccalaureate and Commence- ment began circulating and I found I was in the middle of a frus- trating round of activities. My mother insists that my home is just a place to hang my hat, and I'm afraid it has been just that these past few weeks. There is a meeting or a party nearly every night of the week and I donit have time for a lot of things I like to do. As the time draws near I find that I am dreading the day I graduate from Hammond High, I know that I've spent the happiest period of my life inside these ivy-covered walls and that I'll never know the same type of joy again. Many of my friends will become mere letter acquaintances. I'll never see some of them after high school commencement. I'm looking forward to college and making new friends, but I'll never forget the joys, sorrows, and friendships I experienced at Hammond High, I know I'll always be proud of my Alma Mater and thank her for all she's given me in the way of courage to face the future and strength to look back on the past. His Eye ls On The Sparrow A Book reviewed by BABS HIRSCH Born out of wedlock in 1900 to a thirteen year old girl who never wanted her, Ethel learned to depend upon herself at an early age. Since she was a big girl, she acted tough and was the ring- leader of the gang. Ethel's grandmother, whom she called Mom- weeze' for Louise, worked for white people as a maid and Ethel got a job as chambermaid in a hotel. Although she wasn't paid very much, Ethel was very dependable in her work. One night Ethel visited in a night club where all the Negro crowd hung out and she was asked to sing in someone's place. They liked her so well that she was offered a job to tour in the South entertain- ing in Negro night clubs. Not only could she sing, but she could dance, too, and the customers kept throwing coins to her on the stage. Her manager finally decided to take Ethel to Chicago and have her appear before a mixed audience. Ethel was doubtful as to how the northern white people would accept her, but there'was no reason to worry. Ethel went over big. From Chicago she' went to Harlem and finally hit Broadway, where she was given the star dressing room, where all the big-named actresses had sat before the same mirror. Then Ethel's chance came to go to Hollywood to appear in the movies. In Pinky she played the part of Jeanne Crain's grand- mother, who reminded her very much of her own grandmother, Momweeze . She appeared in other movies, too. In her autobiography Ethel Waters describes her climb to success from the very bottom of the ladder in a poor Negro family of Chesterton, Pennsylvania, all the way to the top, where she made Broadway and Hollywood. My Six Convicts By DONALD POWELL WILSON Reviewed by MANYA PLEVA My Six Convictsv was written by Dr. Wilson to give the reader an exciting, compelling, human interest story. He also produced in this book a constructive piece of scientific research. After you have read My Six Convicts , you will have learned a great deal about the criminal mind, and you will have experienced a great adventure in hunmanity. Dr. Wilson, professor of psychology, had just been appointed by the United States Public Health Service to conduct a unit of research in the relationship between drug addiction and criminality in the new research hospital at Fort Leavenworth Penitentiary. His troubles, at first, were far from few. Since there were no extra men on the hospital staff to assist Dr. Wilson, he was to .choose his own six assistants from the two-thousand convicts available. This entire story took place in the 1930's. and is reminiscent im- pression of the humors and tragedies of the writer's, six convict assistants-Dr. Wilson's world as they saw it and their world as Dr. Wilson saw it. Embarrassingly clever, they could have given their psychologist no end of trouble. Instead, they bore him a real affec- tion and did him a great service. The Well By MIKE MANNION The recent movie production, The Well, is a very bold, and surprisingly enough, good example of modern propaganda. It has the age old conflict, that of the Negro and the white in a very difficult situation. The town in the movie was about half negro and half white. A young colored girl falls into an old abandoned well out in the middle of no-where and her accident is seen by no-one. A white man, who's the grandson of one of the leading business men of the town was last seen with the child. He is promptly accused of the child's disappearance and is taken into custody. Meanwhile, turbulance mounts between the whites and Negros and slowly mob-violence grows. The whole top is about to blow off and send the townspeople into a general riot. However, thc child is located and the people-, both Negro and white, work together to free the child from the well. After a very long struggle against the elements, the child is located and a parallel shaft is sunk to the approximate depth that the girl had dropped. A very small person is needed to go down into the shafts, so, the man who was first accused of the girl's possible murder, finally consents to go down to save the little girl. After a very long struggle against the elements, the child is located and a parallel This movie showed that the negro and white are not different from each other and that both are human and neither can survive without the other's help. W. C. Fields, His Follies and Fortunes A book review by ROBERT SIFFORD W. C. Fields, His Follies and Fortunes is an entertaining biography of the former's life, written by a comparatively new and young author, Robert Lewis Taylor. Although I have not read Mr. Taylor's other two books, Doctor, Lawyer, Merchant, Chief and Adrift in a Boneyard, I am quite sure they couldn't have been written more humorously nor as interestingly as this one. In this biography, Mr. Taylor continually brings to light the quelling emotions of deep unrest, brooding loneliness, and un- wearied suspicion which resided within one of the world's greatest comedians. While he brought entertainment and hilarious comedy into millions of lives, his was perpetually overshadowed with pathos. An example of Field's suspicion toward his fellow man was his depositing of money in banks all over the world under ficticious names. Since he was continually striving for flawless perfection in his juggling and comedy routines, he was dogged by a deep unrest which soon developed into an incurable type of insomnia. His brood- ing loneliness was with him early in life-from the time he ran from home until the hand of death led him from this world. I can find nothing but a constructive criticism for this book. Unlike most biographies, this book throws no bouquets at W. C. Fields or heriocally portrays him, but points out his faults and weak- nesses as well as his more amiable traits, which inevitably brought about an everlasting relationship between him and millions of Ameri- cans. While his caving for alcoholic stimulants is brought into the story in a lighter vein and some of his atrocious language is quoted, I find this book the most entertaining biography I have ever read. I think I shall always remember Fields, as Alva Johnson so aptly put it in relation of his phobia toward dogs: Fields can give the impression to men that he is a highly respectable fellow, but he cannot give that impression to dogs. Once a tramp, always a tramp, as far as the dogs are concerned. Looking through his fine clothes and synthetic dignity, they see the former hobo. ' One hundred thirty nine Speaking of Careers, Who Would Like to Become a Brave P0llC6W0l113h?,, QNews ariicle that appeared in Calumet Herald, February 22, 1952, by Doris Rhiuesperger. Iris fun, but dangerous, said Fay Antone. Hammond High junior, as she looked at the gun wound on her right wrist. Fay 15 one of the youngest students in training in Chicago to follow a career as a policeweman. One night last week Fay was instructing some other students on the fine points of range shooting when the safety catch on a girl's gun slipped and shot Fay in the right wrist. She was im- mediately taken to the hospital, but the wound proved to be noth- ing serious. She hopes to be back in training in a week or so. How did she get started in such an unusual career? She doesn't really know, but she says she owes part of her interest to the stories of a private detective friend. The preliminary course lasts one year. The girls work every night except Sunday. After completing the course and additional training. they are required to take a state exam when they are 21. A score of 80 is required to pass. It is necessary to pass the exam before one is eligible for policewoman work. The girls study judo, fencing, and range shooting. There is also some bookwork. Policewomen must know about legal documents, laws, and some legal terms. Most policewomen work as matrons in jails and prisons, as at- tendants in psychopathic wards and as officers in juvenile delin- quency work. What phase of the work will Fay go into? She's still undecided, but she does know that this is the type of work she wants. However, after Fay's experience, Mrs. Antone isn't too pleased to have her daughter become a policewoman. On Being a Fat Girl By BETTY HAYWORTH Fatty, fatty, two by four! Can't get through the kitchen door! When I was young, these words followed me wherever I went. What was I to do with my physical handicap? Draw up within my shell? Or make the best of my bad situation. Lucky for me I choose the latter. To the friends of my parents, who liked my dimpled knees and elbows, I was That cute little fat girl. But at school and at play I was the victim of many jokes and laughter. I maintained a haughty attitude around my classmates in an effort to hide the burning tears that welled up inside me each time the jokes and laughter began. However, being fat had some advantages. In my neighborhood I was looked up to with a certain amount of respect. Since I was so big, I could beat up all the girls in the block and even a few of the boys. And when I visited my aunt in Indianapolis, I was the proud claimer of the title the toughest kid in the block. I re- ceived this title after I had shown my skill in playing kick-the-can in the alley. However, kick-the-can was not my only accomplishment. In my cousinis neighborhood I was greatly admired when the children learned of my ability in playing football. Not that I actually had any ability, but, because I was so big, there wasn't a line in the neighborhood that could stop me when I was carrying the ball. Here I claimed another title--Bronko Nagurski-. Of course, the title was slightly far fetched, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was another title that I did not enjoy nearly so much-this was given to me by one of the boys on my football team. So I was known as The Blimp . When I talk to him now, I refer to these days as 'when you were little and I was young'. Since I resigned myself to the fact that I was oversized, and made the best of my bad situation, I became better adjusted to life and was much happier. One hundred forty Drifting Sands By BOB CARR Drift on, roll on you waves of sand Across the desert sea Ruled by only natureis hand To be what you would be. You've swallowed many caravan And many desert ships But left no trace of beast or man Upon your golden lips. The sun may set behind a hill But when it sets again Although your waves are very still A valley's there within. The stars look to your golden crown The moon may see you through But there's no mortal the world around To tell what you might do. The wind, your countenance may change But still your face is known Everyone fears the desert range Where the wind has blown. Senioritis By LOLA PLATH Senioritis is a very common and contagious disease that affects almost all adolescents at the ages of seventeen and eighteen. You can recognize a senior suffering from this disease by his frequent absences and noticeable swelling of his head. The symptoms vary with the individual with the seriousness of the illness. However, the basic symptoms for all suffers are the I-don't-care,--this is my last semester attitude, sudden illness or fainting before tests, and extreme superiority to underclassmen. Often these symptoms are accompanied by a sneering and supercilious ex- pression on the face. The actual cause of this condition is questionable, although it seems as though the germ is present, but inactive, all through grade school. Suddenly, where the boy or girl is in twelfth grade the disease develops rapidly and seriously. The only way to avoid senioritis is never to become a senior But since that is impractical, the student, as well as teachers and parents, will have to accept the inevitable. But, I am pleased to say, the cure comes quickly and surely as soon as the senior enters college as a lowly freshman, or makes his own way slowly and humbly in the adult world.

We learned the language of businessg what busi- ness means and its value to the community.

It made us feel sure that we would get a certain firm's ad and through that assurance and faith, we did. We realized the unique value of money and the value of buying power.

Congratu- lations and welcome to the future! In this future, Inland Steel's opportun- ities are yours . . . opportunities open to high school grads. Ifyou have some mechanical training or aptitude, there are careers open in many fields: as machinists, welders, electricians, patternmakers, pipefitters, boilermakers. There are careers to follow in metallurgy and chemistry. And there are opportun- ities in the ofice and clerical fields. The job of production-making the steel needed to keep America strong-offers a challenge to alert, young men. You can have a get-ahead future through Inland's training opportunities. You can get apprentice or on-the-job training to become more skilled in your trade.

Inland has been in the busy Calumet Region for more than a halfacentury.
