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.

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
