This Is the fitory of the Year t The “Story of the Year is dependent upon action. Here are some members of the Girls ' Swimming Club enjoying practice for their water carnival. “SPIRIT OF 76 This is Hammond High School in its 76th year, echoing of its thrills, its disappointments, its tri- umphs, its defeats, its successes, its failures. Ham- mond High in 1962 is a delicate mixture of individ- ual accomplishments, trials, and emotions which creates a unique “Spirit of ’76.” Just as great statesmen represented America’s ideals and the spirit of her fighting men in 1776, students of today’s Hammond High exemplify a spirit of true Americans, which is made up of moods created by single events, woven together with the threads of time and mem- ory. Yes, this is the “Spirit of ’76,” captured amidst the bustling America of 1962. Page Four Two curious biology students peer into the microscopic world. Curi- osity is the basis for academic interests. Three art students, Gari Brant, Mike Vaughn, and Terry Halev, work rapidly to finish the Christmas decorations for the halls. Activities such as this emphasize the students’ participation in outside interests. Action is the basic characteristic of the “Story of the Year,” as it is an important one in the formation of “Spirit of ’76.” Action, however, is not accom- plished by a single movement at a single time; many are blended to create such memories as the Prom, Homecoming, Washington trip, and graduation. Stu- dents will remember the exciting events at Christ- mas, the fall and senior plays, and Association Week. But these are not all the things that happened — each one of the “characters” of the “Story of the Year” will remember individual happenings in the academic, activity, and athletic scenes. Team captain George Eitel anxiously awaits the outcome of the toss of the coin before an important game. Athletic ability and sportsmanship, rather than luck, determine the results of athletic contests. Sandy Novak and Kathy Mauder seem to have regis- tration under control at the freshman party. The per- sonality of the school is most greatly affected by the students. Page Five Journalism I reporters tour the Hammond Times building and dis- cover what effort goes into mak- ing a doily paper. L-r — Jere Ste- phen, Carol Hutton, Lynn Skalnik, Glenda Swallow, Joan Evans, Jill levenberg, Lynn Balsley. Parents and Students Learn Mr. Lawrence Lundgren instructs Mr. Guentin Johnson, a student ' s parent, in the principal operation of the gyroscope at Back to School Night. Parents learn objectives of a composition class in Miss Ellen Mc- Granahan s class. The entire cost watches as Victoria Van Bret fingers the pearls. L-r — Camilla Colantonio, Shirley Bennett, Don Perry, Dave Barton, Dave Brossart, Arr.i Crumpacker, Dave Cook, Janice Beyer Susan Mulligan, Terry McGough, David Schmidt. Audience Enters Into Intrigue Through Double Door The Von Bret pearls are taken out of safekeeping and given to Victoria Van Bret (Susan Mulligan) by the insurance man (Dave Schmidt). At left is Caroline Van Bret (Janice Beyer). Rip Van Bret (Dave Cook) smiles at his bride (Ami Crumpacker) while Dr. Sully (Dove Brossart) and Caroline Van Bret (Janice Beyer) congratulate them . On November 17, a responsive audience saw the hateful jealousy of a forceful woman toward her half-brother’s wife evolve into a crafty scheme to kill the intruder in the family as Double Door, a drama set in the New York home of a woman living in the past, was presented. Weeks of rehearsing and careful planning preceded the final produc- tion as interested students with dramatic ability gained an opportunity to display their talents. Even students with abilities other than dramatic and with the spirit of partici- pation found use for their services on the various committees. The combined efforts of everyone along with the skillful direction of Miss Oza Cunningham resulted in a polished performance. Page Seven A lively cheer is started by Ouenlin Young, Geor- gene Piorkowski, and Kay Dell Franklin at the tra- ditional bonfire. Later on the candidates for Home- coming Geeen and the princesses are announced. Perhaps the one greatest contribution to the lively “Spirit of ’76” in the fall was Homecoming, with its colorful parade, its half-time ceremony, and of course its football game. A triumphant defeat of cross-street rival Hammond Tech added to the spirit, as did the announcement of the Homecoming queen, Kay Dell Franklin, and her court. Senior princesses were Kay Dell, Pat Hard- ing and Sharon K. Miller. Ann Lawther represented the junior class, sophomore prin- cesses were Pam Parrish and Sally Fuller, and Jean Taliaferro was the freshman prin- cess. Action, Pageantry, and Tradition Accentuate Homecoming Association vice-president Fred Foushee crowns elected Homecoming Queen Kay Dell Franklin. Fred takes the place of president Jim Vergin, who is a member of the football team. Coach Bernie Krueger ' s eyes are glued on the action of an exciting play; John Mitchell and Bill Enochs look on. The Wildcats won the Homecoming contest, beating Tech 26-0. Homecoming princesses, all seniors, ride to the game on the prize-winning senior float. They are awaiting half-time ceremonies which will name one of them queen. L-r — Pat Harding, Sharon K. Miller, Kay Dell Franklin. Expressions are varied as last minute prepara- tions are made for the Homecoming parade. Foreground, l-r — Bob Freeman, Pam Krause, Shar- on K. Miller, Pat Harding, Kay Dell Franklin, Fred Foushee, Cathie Cusick. Page Nine Washington Trip Enhances Spirit Excitement, fun, and tired people characterized the 1961 trip to the East. Touring such places as Annapolis, Arlington Cemetery, Jamestown, Williams- burg, and most of all Washington, D.C. landmarks, students of Hammond High discovered the real ' “Spir- it of ’76” — present in historic buildings such as the Capitol and the White House, but also mildly there among the eastern scenery. A look into the Smith- sonian Institute, a trip along Skyline Drive, and a tour of the early capitol building at Williamsburg were among these sights. By the end of the trip, few refused to admit that they were tired. Smiling faces of Miss Emily Johnson and Miss Alice Bollin reveal that they are all ready for their exploit to Washington. A colorful ond patriotic sight to Washington travelers is the statue of Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima. Smooth ond precise movement intrigues Hommond High students os they watch the ' Changing of the Guard at Arling- ton National Cemetery’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. - American flog is perched defiantly above the White House, ond students wait out- side after touring the decorative home at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Sight seers discover that their trip to the East has left them slightly exhausted, so they catch up on their rest by relaxing on the train on the way home. In front are Pearl Jasis ond Carol Fyte. Two couples pause during the 1961 Junior Senior Prom, l-r — Bill Kilcullen, Marilyn Kucer, Jonet Vitale, Ron Hartman. The Prom Displays a Soft Mood Paulette Nemeth experiences a touch of fantasy as she enters the dance hall through a flowered arch. After-Prom parties take up much of the evening after the Prom; these people enjoy refreshments before the dinner at Woodmar Country Club. Left-right, Joel Grambois, Gayle Bohling, Peter Powell, Georgene Piorkowski, Carl Lovely. A romantic stroll down “Memory Lane” was tak- en by seniors and juniors at the 1961 Prom, spon- sored by the Class of 1962. Hard work preceded the affair, for scenery had to be made, programs selected, a band picked and the dance hall chosen. Afterwards, with memories of the Grand march and of course dances, most went to after-prom parties. Some “looked forward” to the clean-up job the next day, but still the Prom was considered well worth the effort put into it. Already holding a substantial collection of campaign tags, Glenda Swallow allows Leslie Kelly to add one more. Elections Begin Association ' s Activities Beginning with spring campaigns and elections, the Association carries on the activities of the school by its cabinet and voluntary committees as well as by elect- ed officers. Homecoming, Association Week, club schedules, and certain auditoriums are the responsibilities of the Association. Also, official correspondence is carried on by the secretary. The job of selecting the safe driver for tlois year was one of the Association, a jjjjjlafety Week was another project. The two houses provide a place for voicing the opinions of selected Sena- tors and Representatives. The student court tries offenders for minor “crimes.” Association officers pose in front of the Constitution. L-r — Gayle Bohling, recorder; Jim Vergin, president; Fred Foushee, vice-president. Cabinet members are chosen by elected Association officials. L-r — Chuck Barnes, Secretary of Student Activities; Bill Rosevear, Secretary of Student Discipline; Marilyn Kucer, Secretary of Student Publicity; Allan Dominick, Secretary of Student Safety. Gayle Bohling and Fred Foushee confer with Mr. Homer Hightower about eligibility requirements of nominees for next year s Association officers. Man ComQS To Dinner at Senior Play ‘i “The Man Who Came To Dinner” was chosen as this year’s senior play. Having been on Broadway and in movies, the play centers around the eccentricity of Sheridan Whiteside, who injured his hip while attend- ing dinner at the Stanley residence. Through the play the audience witnessed the arrival of four penguins, ten thousand cockroaches, a group of convicts, a movie star, and an Egyptian mummy case. Several weeks of re- hearsal and much practice by the selected cast brought the play to a fine performance on April 13, their “opening night.” Maggie (Leslie Malo), John (Jim Remich), Professor Metz (Allan Poqach), and Bert (Tom Cornwell) admire the ten thousand cockroaches contained in the box. Bruce Moore and Barb Smith discover that grease- paint up close looks very different from its appearance to the audience. Tim Granger craftily closes the mummy cose on Sara Pierce during a reheorsol. Graduation is completion of a Goal: the Beginning of New Ones Graduating seniors listen attentively to the commencement ad- dress. In less than an hour these people will have officially com- pleted their high school education. Waiting nervously in the Civic Center hall preceeding the Pomp and Circumstance march is one of the longest parts of commencement. An end and yet a beginning is graduation’s mes- sage. Completion of a successful four years means new opportunities and responsibilities — giving I the graduation class new hopes along with their memor- ies of what has passed. What each person cont ributes to the spirit of his school becomes important at that moment of receiving his diploma, for a sense of ac- complishment is cherished by everyone. The spirit of Hammond High does not leave the individual after graduation, however; its influence stays with him for many years. Most important in the school life of an individual is academic achievement, so it is only natural for academic accomplishments to play an important part in the for- mation of the “Spirit of ’76.” Class- room activity included new teach- ing methods such as television, more demonstrations for science classes, and speakers who shared their knowledge with students about sub- jects from chemical composition to city welfare. National Merit schol- arships were won, many entered the National Honor Society, and many others strived for better academic attainment. Speech, music, servi ces , to the school, and journalism — among others just as important, aided participants and observers. cMcacl emtc Academics Aids School, Study One of the most useful groups in the school is the Library Staff, which con- sists of students chosen by the librarian, Mrs. Jessica Rich. Members check books in and out, assist in keeping order, and give aid to the students in any possible way. Experience which the staff gains during their work is useful after graduation. The Oil Panel is made up of five honor students and sponsored by Mr. Norman Beyer. This panel travels to different clubs and organizations in the area to present a program on the pe- troleum industry. Topics which they discuss include conservation, marketing, and the tax problems concerning oil de- pletion allowances. Library Staff: Front row , l-r — Tam Cozza, Sheila Skvaro, Barb King, Carolyn Garner. Row 2 — Elbert Rush; Sandy Stilwell; Gary Wikel; Helen Tothfalusi; Mrs. Jessica Rich, sponsor. Top row — Mike Waters, Sharon Tyler, Vineta Snider, Pat Eisen. Members of the Oil Panel explore for- mation and discovery of oil os a basis fr their discussions. L-r — Mr. Norman Beyer, Carol Fyte, Ken Wood, Mike Yellen, Pat Harding, Donald Fay. Glass bending is an early experiment in chemistry which develops skills to be used in later projects. Learning Is a Many Sided Thing Mr. John Sonders speaks to an economics class about the steps in settling labor-management disputes, and he adds some information about labor organization in a typical corporation. Classes are not limited to the classroom discussion and normal activities c arried on each day; supple- mentary projects are common. Outside speakers tell of their own experiences which pertain to the stu- dents’ futures, while exercises done by the students themselves give them an insight to practical appli- cation of their studies. This extra material adds in- terest as well as addition information to classroom work. Close examination of Sylvia, a python, is a rare experience, but these members of Miss Virginia Esten ' s biology class gained this nooortunity. l-r — Joe Jeffries, Dan Fary, Charmaine Kubisz. Mr. Bert Herbert of the Research and Develop- ment Division, Inland Steel Company, seems to be making his point well as he speaks to a physics class. Mr. Lew Johnson captivated the audience with his discussion about snakes, other reptiles, and spiders. Here he holds o tarantula in his hand and shows how it is friendly if treated right. Helping in auditorium sessions as well as plays, the stage crew was of great help in production. Backdrops, lighting, and scenery oil had to be arranged by these boys. Front , l-r — Bob A. Shoop, Richard Foust, Bob Underwood. Back — Brian Smith, Bob Schoop, Ken Hein- emann, Malcolm Wade, Barney Walker. Page Twenty-two Crescent City Jazz Club sponsored Ira Sullivan ' s band in a program illustrating the evolution of jazz in America. Auditoriums Academic-wise, auditoriums added special infor- mation to classroom study; they provided interesting entertainment while giving the student a better- rounded education. The band exhibited its abilities in a session, and Mr. C. J. Albrecht again brought a narrated program of his explorations. Sci-Math Club sponsored an auditorium about atomic energy, students were shown how to “Dress Right” in an- other, and the association candidates gave qualifi- cations in auditorium speeches. Speakers were brought in to share their experiences with the au- dience; Junior Red Cross sponsored one of these. Spanish Club showed dances of Latin America in their program. Diligent Work is Rewarded The National Honor Societies set the stan- dards for the scholastic achievements made by the students of Hammond High. Manv students strive for these goals and those who achieve them are chosen for membership. Junior National Honor Society is the club for those freshmen and sophomores who maintain a B average or better. The club does a great service by its activities. Open to juniors in their second semester and to seniors the Senior National Honor Society chooses its members not only by outstanding scholarship but also leadershio and participation in school activities.

Regulations Are Carried Out Under the management of Mr. Theodore Frueh- ling sponsor, and Alan Dominick, Secretary of Student Safety, monitors supervise the halls of Hammond High. By checking admits, they prevent unnecessary wandering that disrupts classes. Also among their duties are checking lockers, running errands for the office, collecting attendance slips, and preventing cut- ting in the cafeteria lines and running in the halls.

The band is one of the most active organi- zations at Hammond High; however, many of its activities are little known to the student body. Among these activities are present- ing concerts and auditorium sessions. Many clever halftime shows were performed at foot- ball games, and a pep band was organized to play at pep sessions and basketball games. Also newly organized this year were the Pom-Pom Girls, who presented dance routines at football games. Along with these functions, individual members were given a chance to perform solos and play in ensembles for local and state contests. In the spring the entire band participated in the state contest. Mr. Kenneth Gekeler, assisted by Mr. James Qualkinbush, directs the band. Page Thirty March To Suzanne Jonas and Bob Paratore, candidates for the Robin Hood Band in Hollywood, look over some music before practicing.

Page Thirty-two Young Journalists Loam Tricks of Trade Resembling the Hammond Times’ staff room a few hours before deadline, the Publications Office during first hour is a scene of busy reporters and page editors, battling against time to get their copy in for a bi-weekly issue of the Herald. Under the supervision of Mr. A. T. Bolt, Publications Advisor, the pages of stories are planned, material written, pictures taken, headlines included, and all copy edit- ed by the editor, business manager, and their staff of “junior journalists.” Finally at the end of their production of an issue, the staff can relax — for the weekend, that is — and then continue on their work for the next issue. Improvements are always tried; this year the “Hew Calumet Herald tried a new format, a different kind of p aper, and a change in size. Cindy Lindahl and Marilyn Kucer correct page proofs in preparation to pasting up the stories on a dummy layout. At last the end of the period of working is done and the deadline is met. Another issue rolls off the presses and into the hands of early-bird staff members who pass out Heralds to homeroom representatives. Doing the soliciting ' at right are, l-r — Ami Crumpacker, Carol Hutton, Fred Hall, and Pat Sibbert. Working at the printer ' s shop correcting stories can be the most inter esting part of putting out a paper.

Ideas to Express Spirit of 76 Typewriters and minds both busily clicking are standard requirements for production of an annual. Picking a cover design, division page layout, and section format is only a part of the work to be done. In late spring of 1961, preliminary plans were made for the 1962 book. Two members of the staff attended a summer journalism workshop and gathered new ideas there; these were ap- plied to developing the theme early in the fall. After the distribution of pages was set, real planning became necessary. Plans for each of the pages were made; then material was gathered to be turned over to the prin- ter. As the final proofs were corrected, the staff could look back to their constant effort each day during seventh hour and the times they spent out of school to meet deadlines. Mr. A. T. Bolt started the staff on the right track by teaching them fundamentals. Under the approval of Lela Ives, right, Janice Suliss carefully completes the drawings for divison pages.

Hard at work all day long, the custodians maintain the many school parts which need repair. Working in shifts, they are constantly on call for any problem that arises. John Newell and Ray Abney work late shifts. Mr. George Earl is the head custodian. Janitresses keep the halls and rooms clean after school so that they will be ready for use the next day. Belwyn Parks, right, lends moral support to George Earl as Mr. Earl files a metal part which needs fixing. Of all the components of the “Spirit of ’76,” that showing en- thusiasm in cooperation and ser- ° vice is the most helpful in asso- ciation with other people. Club members show friendly spirit when they gather old clothes for charity. They show helpful spirit during club meetings and discus- sions, and they show spirit to learn in their projects concern- ing their interests. Not only does this add to the school’s overall mood, but it gives the individual better qualities. Through offering clubs for many interests, Ham- mond High gives each student a chance to participate in club activities, helping to mold better character. Learning is supple- mented by clubs, for the teen- ager must discover his interest. — o ct unties The Student Voice Is Expressed Each year the students of Hammond High School choose their Association officers for the ensuing year. In the fall they select their senators and representatives after they have carefully considered who will do the best job. With the selection of the court, the Associa- tion is seemingly complete.

Although it is not a new club at Hammond High, this was its first year of membership in the state organization. The girls started off their year with a splash party and also sponsored a “play day.” Rewards for diligent work are plaques. In its second year, the Aqua Divers con- tinue to be one of the most active clubs at Hammond High. Members traveled often to a stone quarry at Dolton where they practic- ed SCUBA diving. To learn safe techniques of diving and the correct usage of equipment, members practiced in the boys’ pool. Sportsmanship is one of the es- sential contributors of the “Spirit of ’76,” and this, accompanied by team effort and student support, make up athletic spirit. Perhaps most vivid of all mpods expressed during the year was that of cheer- ing crowds watching football or basketball, as well as the less-known but just as important sports such as tennis, cross country, swimming, wrestling, and track. Coaches and players, cheerleaders and students each made athletics worthwhile, whether winning or losing. o tAfeti ca Half-time briefing is the subject at hand in the locker room. Mr. Krueger emphatically points out mistakes so that the second half will be even more promising for the Cats. Tim Atwood sets up a block as Don Muntean evades some Whiting tocklers. Playing in the shadow of a state championship, Hammond High’s 1961 football team finished the season with a 5-3-1 slate, a mark not to be ashamed of considering the calibre of competition the Wild- cats encountered. Facing the inspired Warriors of Bishop Noll in the season opener, the Wildcats dueled the Redskins to a 6-6 tie; the Purple Unit roared back the following week to repulse a driving Whiting team, 6-0. Traveling to the Steel City, the Wildcats played a determined game against the Rough Riders, but a late surge by Roosevelt in the closing minutes of the game dampened the Cats’ upset bid and sent Hammond High to a hard fought 9-7 defeat. In the annual homecoming clash, the Wildcats rolled over their ancient Nemesis, Hammond Tech, by a walloping score of 26 to 0 and primed them- selves for the most thrilling game of the season against arch rival Gary Froebel. In a tussle not de- cided until the closing seconds, an unyielding drive by the Wildcats sent the Blue Devils to a stinging defeat. The Purpleclads darkened Clark’s homecom- ing game as they blasted the Pioneers, 20-0. They fell to a high-flying East Chicago Washington team, 0-13, but gained a post-season victory because of Senator eligibility problems. Morton’s galloping Gov- ernors were given the sternest test and most diffi- cult victory as the Wildcats nearly tipped the Top Hats in what turned out to be a 19-7 Morton vic- tory. Sampling a downstate grid power, the Cats met Anderson’s Indians and obligingly gave them a har- rowing time, yet fell to a 14-7 defeat. Still they held Anderson to its lowest number of points for the season. The Wildcat football team was a dime short and a minute late of another state champion- ship. v r-r V. 0 ■ rt V v % K A q - i ' n A v £ o t m n i a ' t?i • 8 1?

Jump, Serbin, jump! is the cry heard throughout the Civic Center as the tense Hammond High players begin the game against Tech. Hammond High won, 75-63. With two tall Wildcat players in the air at the same time, it’s no wonder that the rebound goes to Hammond High. John Serbin snatches the ball while Ed Sherry lends moral support. Looking on at left are Delmar Kuchaes and Pete Powell. The Purpleclads won this Tech match.

Lubricated with desire and primed for victory, Whiting’s Oilers slipped by Hammond High, 57-46, at the East Chicago Penthouse in the second-bracket sectional pairings, bringing the Wildcat’s 1961-62 basketball season to a 12-10 finale. Although Coach Steve Kucer ' s Purple- dads did not rank among the state’s elite, the Wildcats maintained their dominence over Ham- mond area prep entries with lopsided victories against Clark (77-50), Tech (75-63), Morton (81-65), and Whiting (78-59). In early-season tilts, the “gridladen” Wildcats were subdued by powerfuls South Bend Central (67-44), Laf- ayette Jeff (82-56), and Muncie Central (70- 56) — Hoosierland’s Best, whom the Wildcats faced in their first three weeks of competition. Purple Five tipped Hobart (75-51), in one of the four games the Cats played in a pressing seven day span. Arch-rival Froebel humbled the Wildcats (87- 65), in a clash highlighted by John “Elgin” Serbin ’s breaking the Conference record for the most points in one sason. In competition against the East Chicago rep- resentatives, Hammond High repulsed Roose- velt ( 62-53 )j but was vanquished by a sparse three-point deficit at the ’ hands of powerful “Regional Champion” Washington (70-67).

' Capturing the Hammond City Meet cham- pionship, a Varsity-Freshman-Sophomore con- test, Wildcat track team showed promise in next year’s race and established superiority in several field and track events. Among the to- be-powerful events is the hurdles, with Tuttle leading Cat tracksters in that event. Other events, such as high jump, show some future later in the season. In later track meets, Hammond was schedul- ed to have a tough season as far as competition. Win over other Hammond schools, over Crown Point, and placement in Hammond Relays were only early-season victories for the Cats. In pre-season practice Bob Haskell makes the pole vault look simple.

Hammond High’s Racketeers finished a pro- mising season with a record of 13 wins and three los ses. In Western Division play, the ten- nis team placed third. Practice was held every night after school at the new Harrison Park courts. Individual efforts in the summer were also good; Oren Conway earned a chance to participate in national competition; this indi- vidual achievement and the fact that almost all members on the team will return next year make the ’62 team look bright. Mr. Hugh Daw- son is coach of the team.

Dan Mudd, left, and Bob Haley, right, emerged with state championships, while Jim Molting, center, ecrned a second place. Coming from a second place finish in the Northern Indiana Conference the Wildcats Wrestling team revenged its victor in the state finals to win state championship. With the most potential in years, the 1962 team had 2 state champions, Bob Haley, and Dan Mudd, and one second place winner, Jim Nolting. Besides these state point winners, there were several grapplers for the Cats who did exceptionally well in the sectionals and Western Division. Capturing first in Western Division meets were Brian Keck, Tom Kopacz, and Dave Mudd. Other members of the team supported the Wildcat effort with second places in Western Division and sectional competition. Catfish fiwim. Dive, 2et Records Fred Foushee, center, tenses for a fost start in the Western Division 160 yard individual medley. Hammond High’s Catfish ended their regular season of play with seven wins and two losses, went to the Western Division meet confidently, but lost to Valparaiso. Nevertheless, several records were set by the Cat swimmers in both Western Division and season play. Sophomore Dave Cook set a school record for the 100 yard backstroke; Allen Levenberg set a school record in the same event with a time of 0.1 seconds faster. A Western Division record was set when the 160 yard relay team of Rick Foltz, Allen Levenberg, Laurie Skov, and Bobbie Scott swam in that meet. Only three seconds slower than the state record, Fred Foushee’s time in the 160 yard individual medley was sufficient to set a new pool and school record in the Western Division race. Gaining power for a graceful swan dive, Mike Takacs practices for the Western Division competition. Mike ' s practice paid off, for he took first place in the Western Division meet.

Sparking the 1962 baseball team to a 3-2 sea- son as of late April, Ed Sherry, Bill Enochs, Ron Boudi, and Delmar Kuchaes along with their teammates promised a solid winning season. The three wins at the beginning of the season were over Thornton Fractional North, Highland, and Dyer. In addition to the good future ahead of them this season, many Cat baseballers will return next year to apply their experience for team improvement.

Irons and Woods Hit for Promising Season Beginning the season with wins over seven teams and losses to only three, Hammond High golfers, with 16 more triangular meets and the Dyer Invitational ahead of them, showed potential in all three starting con- tests; among the teams beat was a considered- powerful, Gary Lew Wallace. The team plays at Lake Hills Country Club for practice and for many meets. Mr. James Jordan is the new golf coach this year.

Coaches are responsible for correct training and good, fair play in season games; each year they are on hand at any time to point out errors and to give advice to the athlete. Many of the coaches have been at Hammond High for several years or longer; others are new. But however long they have or will serve, they act as an inspir- ation to the team members. Coaches maintain Hammond High ' s athletic program. Front, |-r — Mr. Dennis Burdock, assistant freshman football; Mr. Hugh Dawson, tennis and assistant basketball; Mr. Steve Kucer, assistant football and basketball; Mr. James Jordan, golf and freshman basketball, Mr. John Wonzowitz, track, cross country, and athletic director; Back — Mr. Carl Deak, assistant wrestling; Mr. Jules Papais, swimming and back field for football; Mr. Bernie Krueger, football and assistant track; Mr. Don Clark, wrestling; Mr. William Strator, baseball and freshman football. A high school cannot have a spirit without people; it is they who make most of the spirit real and expressable, through their abil- ities in academic, athletics, and ac- tivities. Each class was represented by certain accomplishments, re- quirements, and hopes, but it is true that all these were made up in turn by single feelings and thoughts. Although it is impossible to tell the story of each person, parts of each will be remembered by friends and acquaintances. School Board Promotes Academics and Activities Elected school board poses for the photographer. l r— -Mrs. Mar- garet Allen; Dr. Henry Eggers, president; Mr. Leo Bereolos, treas- urer; Mrs. Clair Sterm, secretary; Mr. Charles Scott. Working behind virtually all major plans and operations in the Hammond School System, the School Board is a busy group. There are hve elected members and four appointed administrative heads; all belong to the School City of Hammond. All em- ployment relationships are under the jur- isdiction of the board, as are repairs and maintenance of all Hammond Schools. Through these and countless other jobs, the Hammond School Board has much con- tact with the school life at Hammond High. Appointed members: Dr. Oliver L. Rapp, Assis- tant Superintendent in Charge of Personnel, Re- search and Public Relations; Mr. Donald E. Gavit, Business Manager; Mr. R. B. Miller, Superinten- dent of Schools; Mr. M. H. Thorsen, Assistant Superintendent of Schools. The board meets Tuesday evenings and at special sessions and discusses plans for the school sys- tem. Here members discuss a proposed plan. Dr. Rapp packs some materials to be taken to his new office. During a period of a few weeks, he occupied both the princi- palship and his new appointment. Dr. F. Kenneth Feuerbach, appointed new principal for Ham- mond High on April 10, begins moving into hi s principal’s office by packing some papers into his drawer. Promotions Recognize Administration ' s Ability Dr. O. L. Rapp was appointed in early winter to his new position as assistant superintendent of personnel, re- search, and public relations on the Hammond School Board. Having served as Hammond High’s principal since 1949, Dr. Rapp officially started work in his new job on January 1, serving temporarily as principal until Dr. Feuerbach was selected. Dr. Rapp spent much of his time in conferences, but still had time for observation of the school’s problems. Formerly superintendent of Allen County Schools, Dr. F. Kenneth Feuerbach has a doctorate from Indiana Uni- versity. He has held several principal posts as well as being superintendent, and has been a football coach and business occupations teacher. He was selected for his Hammond High job in early April, after several weeks of consideration by the Hammond School Board.

Miss Thelma Abell is listening in rear. r Commercial interests are a part of the lives of all students at Ham- mond High, and they supplement the “Spirit of ’76” in a way not clearly evident, but ever present. Freedom to operate a business as one pleases with few restrictions is a right of Americans which should be guarded patriotically; the early leaders of our country rightly stat- ed that this was an important right and privilege to be cherished with other fought-for rights. Also a free- dom to pick what products one desires and thinks best is an old one, which, though not stated spe- cifically, is as important to out- lives as freedom of speech or re- ligion. cJ clvertib inc) ' MAID RITE % V ? 7 ?■ Frank Shaver Pontiac, Inc. v c580 r8)bhman % J WEstmore 2-0080 Hammon CATALINA STAR CHIEF BONNEVILLE GRAND PR IX TEMPEST — - - c 3 Nacjdeman ' s Hohman at Sibley Hammond, Indiana • First in fashion • First in quality • First in service =5o non tofj a tature in AJnland offers be exceJtent opportuhit tion.
