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.

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.
