Family T iee, ofr ' 63 Our “Family Tree of ’63” was planted as a seedling four years ago in the academic soil of Hammond High School. After passing through several cycles of growth, it has now emerged large, stately, and strong and ever yet straining toward the light. Just as the roots of a tree are responsible for its growth, our teach- ers and administrative officers are responsibile for the imposing stature of our tree, the student body. The roots firmly anchored in the ground pipeline the food of knowledge into the trunk, which represents our academic achievements. The Athletic Department characterizes the bark of the tree growing thick and solid around the trunk, always trying to keep us invulnerable against our foes. From the trunk emerge the branches, reaching out individually in diverse directions and then combining to form a composite picture of our varied clubs. With spring, leaves appear in a showy display to exhibit the 1963 student album. May our “Family Tree of ’63” continue to grow — impregnable, strong, and with its leaves always facing the sky. ■ Dediurtiott J 4 � � Doctor Oliver L. Rapp came to Hammond in August of 1949 to serve as Principal, but he was to be, in a sense, “caretaker” to Hammond Higfi School’s “tree” of tradition, faculty, and students. The school -had -just recently weathered the difficult years of World War H;, thus; =4t«jvas essential that it grow to meet the expanding demands of peacetime. The fore, Dr. Rapp nurtured ideas on school improvement offered him faculty and staff, and he actively attended conferences to learn of other educator’s methods. He helped us to meet the demands of the “space race” by approving the addition of Russian, UICSM, and PSSC physics to the curriculum. With his approval in 1953, the Speaker’s Program began. By 1959, we had a unified four year mathematics course. On discovering that department heads needed space in which to cen- tralize their materials, Dr. Rapp authorized the establishment of offices for them. He was instrumental in enabling counselors to devote full time to guidance and supported the initiation of College Night as a supplement to the regular guidance program. His administration’s increased publicity concerning summer school resulted in doubled enrollment. In noting that extracurricular activities were also important, he urged students to attend our games, and was a frequent spectator himself. He seemed able to convince students that spirit and scholarship could har- monize to enable them to transmit H.H.S. “greater, better, and more beautiful.” This philosophy won Hammond High a State Board of Educa- tion special First Class Commission in 1959. Dr. Rapp continues to improve our facilities in the position he as- sumed in September, 1962, as Assistant Superintendent of Personnel. Research, and Public Relations on the Hammond School Board. For ex- ample, his application under Title V of the National Defense Education Act provided the new guidance office. We sincerely thank Dr. Oliver L. Rapp for the improvements he sanctioned. They have blended with the other traditions of Hammond High School and have given us impetus to branch out further. Dr. Oliver L. Rapp Assistant Superintendent of Personnel. Research, and Public Relations for Hammond Public Schools. The growth of the “Family Tree of ’63” characterizes the story of the year — a narrative which harmonizes all the components into a composite portrayal of the year’s varied activities. From the gaiety of homecoming to the grandeur of the prom and gradua- tion, and from the exultation of athletic victories to the eminence of scholastic achievement, Hammond High School continues to manifest the qualities of leadership, scholarship, and sportsman- ship synonymous with its 76-year his- tory. Instilled through tradition and nourished by ambition, these attributes are the results of the combined efforts of administrators, teachers, athletic teams, scholars, and clubs. As the growth and magnificence of a tree are dependent upon the contribu- tions of all parts, so was the co-operation of all vital to the story of Hammond High School in 1962-1963.

Rated by many as the turning point of the season for the Purple gridmen, the game saw the Wildcats gain 395 yards in rushing and 19 first downs against the Riders. Ron Sims crossed the double stripes twice on 5 and 12-yard runs; and Joe Cadle (10-yard run), Bill Enochs (1-yard run), and Gene Alger (7-yard run) each contributed a touchdown in the 32-7 triumph. Highlighting the gala Homecoming activities on the social scene were the bonfire, the car parade (in which the sophomore class received first place for its float), the crowning of the queen, the presentation of her court, and the soc-hop follow- ing the game. Jim Bagaloff, Association President, crowned Ann Law- ther 1962 Homecoming Queen. Julie Kraay (Senior Princess), Wendy Smith (Senior Princess), Pam Parrish (Junior Prin- cess), Jean Taliaferro (Sophomore Princess), and Jane Boya- jian (Freshman Princess) composed her court.

(Bottom right) Preparing for a day of touring, (1-r) Larry Hamm, Bennett Mayer, Hugh Krie- ger, and Howard Alport rise early in their Washington, D.C., hotel suite. With a deeper understanding of our coun- try’s government, students returned home after an eventful weekend in Washington, D.C. The touring juniors and seniors left the Erie Railroad station Wednesday morning, October 24. Along the way they stopped briefly at Ohio State University for dinner and a movie. The next stop was Charlottes- ville, Virginia, where they viewed Monticello, the famous home of Thomas Jefferson, and the University of Virginia. Arriving in Washington, the students checked in at the hotel. The next day, sight- seeing buses carried the travelers to the Bur- eau of Printing and Engraving, the Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian Institute, and the National Gallery of Art. That even- ing Washington’s night life was explored, highlighted by a floor show and dinner at the Casino Royal. Early the following morning, Mr. Earl Fruehling, a chaperon from Hammond High School, and several students were interview- ed before the White House on coast to coast television. The topic of this interview was the Cuban situation. On to Williamsburg and Jamestown, Vir- ginia, the last leg of the journey, students toured the old town and were extremely in- terested in the guardhouse, the governor’s palace and gardens; but most of all, the public stock. Concluding this tour was an excursion to the first colony settled in Amer- ica, Jamestown. Rolling in Tuesday morning, October 30, was a fatigued and weary band who truly agreed that never again would there be a Washington trip like the one of 1962. The Ugly American, the 1962 all-school play, portrayed the action behind the secret, red-tape cur- tain of American diplomacy. Taken from the best seller of the same title, the presentation “unmasked the blundering hypocrisy of certain top-level American diplomats and exposed the incompetence and deceit imbedded in our public rela- tions throughout the world,” as well as that in Asia — the turning point of the action. The play was a suspenseful and deeply human story with the intent of arousing pride as well as entertaining. CAST Homer Atkins .

He ventured to Washington with his senior class while activities in Congress involved plans which, if passed, would have been beneficial to boys of Larry’s age. During his stay at the nation’s capital, Larry joined Congressman Kenneth Taylor (who was en- gaged to Larry’s teacher-sponsor) for lunch. The newspapers exposed Taylor as having taken advice concerning his governmental stand, and from these assertions evolved comical situations. Babs Davis, Larry’s high school girl friend, supplied an unex- pected ending by offering her aid.

To start the school year, every student recited the Association pledge at the first assembly session. Soon after, a spokesman from the Fisher Body Company spoke to students, showing them the future ideas in automotive design and encouraging them to participate in a designing contest sponsored by the firm. At the end of October Hammond High School’s Vocal Music Department pre- sented a program entitled “The Music Man,” and later Dr. Myers talked on “Romance of Words.” Shortly following Thanksgiving, the school band performed, and Mr. John Con- rad entertained with his marionette story of Louis Braille. In his annual appearance, Mr. C. J. Al- brecht presented his travelog on Alaska at the first assembly program in the second semester. In February the band and the Junior Red Cross sponsored presentations, and in March final candidates delivered their speeches to the Association members. Pre- sentations by the Vocal Music Department, Dr. Melauan (“Geology of the Great Lakes Region”), the Speech Arts Club, and the Honors Day Program closed the auditorium schedule for 1962-1963.

Association otuatidafcA Juniors were in the limelight at Hammond High School during the campaigning week for Association offices, but all students par- ticipated by nominating, supporting, and electing the candidates. From the final candidates for president (Dave Brossart and Jim McHie), vice-pres- ident (Larry Dominick and John Boyajian), and recorder (Sue Jones and Pam Parrish), the Hammond High citizenry chose Dave, Larry, and Sue to head the student govern- ment in the coming year. Following elections, Association Week Week offered students the opportunity to demonstrate school spirit. Tuesday was School Colors Day, and Wednesday was Mad Hat- ters’ Day, highlighted by a contest offering a prize for the most original hat. On Thurs- day students brightened the halls with green, yellow, red, and purple during Class Colors Day, and on Friday they dressed up, with carnations sold by the Association augment- ing the dapper dress. On Friday evening, the apparel switched to less formal attire as students danced at the Bermuda sock-hop — bringing to a close the Association social activities for the school year. Aided by Carolyn Rudolph, Pam Parish, candidate for recorder, speaks in the school auditorium about the various ' Hammond High sports and activities. 14 a tump the, kaMi [oji voted Larry Dominick was elected to the office of vice president of the Association.

David Brossart. president-elect of Hammond High School ' s Association, delivers his campaign presentation at the auditorium session. Dave has had prior administrative experience in the House of Representatives and Speech Arts. Anticipation was the prevailing mood through- out the 1962 and 1963 prom seasons. From the first posters advertising the gala events, there was excitement on the part of the junior and senior student body. In May, 1962, juniors decorated the Civic Center with a mural of the theme “Moon River,” and in 1963 decorating committeemen transformed St. Thomas More Hall into a setting resembling the fashionable cjty in France for “An Evening in Paris.” In June following the 1963 prom, the Bac- calaureate Service and Commencement exercises in the Civic Center officially closed the year’s activities and ended high school days for the Class of 1963.

In the comprehension of mathemati- cal logic and the complexities of English grammar, and in the magnitude of world history and the manipulation of business macnines, teachers strive to transform the arduous into the accessible, and the accessible into the applicable. As the roots of a tree hold the tim- ber erect and absorb nourishment for it, so do teachers anchor students in a fruit- ful soil of learning drawn from their specialized educations. And, as roots grow longer to secure more and better nutrient, so do teachers extend their educations to keep abreast of contem- porary ideas in an ultra-modern world. These many efforts contributed to the success of Hammond High School in 1962-1963. MR. R. B. MILLER Superintendent of Schools Dr. F. Kenneth Feuerbach Principal of Hammond High School The theme of the Dunes this year, “The Family Tree of ’63”, seems to me to be quite appropriate. For example, there are many persons in many kinds of jobs or pursuits that make possible the wonderful organization that we affectionately know as Hammond High School. There are students and teachers, of course, but there are also cooks and custodians, secretaries and counsellors, an assistant principal and a principal. All of these people “live” and work at Hammond High School and, in a way, constitute one big family. The effectiveness with which this “family” lives and works together helps to determine whether We can achieve that goal which is the chief aim of secondary education in the United States of America — the prepara- tion of young people for effective adult citizenship in a democracy. We must remember, however, that just as “no man is an island” neither is a school building filled with the above-mentioned persons an island. No, we have “family” ties with others in our central administrative offices, with others in our churches and in our homes, and we have ties with others in our local communities and in the larger communities of which we are all a part. It is wonderful to meditate upon how far we can carry the idea contained in our theme “The Family Tree of ’63.” F. KENNETH FEUERBACH Principal, Hammond High School A tree consists of more than the trunk and branches. The tiniest roots and leaves all play an important part in the life of a tree. If either the leaves or the tiny roots do not function, the trunk and branches of the tree will not grow properly. When disease strikes certain parts of a tree, the hor- ticulturist, or forester, may have to cut out the diseased parts. In certain kinds of trees grafting may be necessary to improve the fruit or the product of the tree. The same application may be made to a school. The school consists of many parts, the least of which may be the building in which it is housed. The community, and the school board, may be likened to the roots of the tree. The administrative staff and teachers may represent the trunk and larger branches. The leaves and twigs, might be likened to the students. All have a part to play. The moral fiber and high ideals and principles of any of these parts will determine the strength and product of the school. A weakness in any one part may jeopardize any other part. Sometimes it may be necessary to prune out anything which hinders the growth. The fine reputation which Hammond High School en- joys after 76 years of growth has been due to a community which believes in good schools, a dedicated faculty, and a student body which has taken advantage of the many opportunities offered by the school. The Bible says that Christ grew in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and man. My wish is that the great family tree of Hammond High School will continue to grow in stature and favour with God and all men. R. B.

The Compo- sition 8, PSAT, and NEDT tests are examples of the tests given. Because such a great percentage of Hammond High School students plan to enter college after graduation, the counselors make college representatives available through individually arranged interviews, arrange the an- nual College Night, and keep a file of college catalogues. Members of the guidance department also make trips to college campuses to secure information concern- ing college courses and life. Any counselor is prepared and willing to answer specific questions pertaining to higher education. Open to consultation with students at any time dur- ing the day, the guidance staff is composed of Mr. Robert Brock, freshman counselor; Mr. Gene Swaim, sophomore counselor; Miss Marion Dietrich, junior counselor; and Mr. Homer Hightower, senior counselor. Mr. James Hill, professional diploma guidance, is department head. Mr. Theodore Fruehling, Administration Assistant, handles discipline counseling. The Counseling Department tries to make each stu- dent’s stay at Hammond High enjoyable and worth- while.

The indispensible workers of the main office of Hammond High School are Mrs. Hazel Lindstrom, Miss Joan Pawenski and Miss Sandy Horton. For thirty-seven years Hazel has performed innumer- able services including checking attendance, answer- ing the telephone, and compiling records. Joan, Hazel’s assistant since 1952, issues college transcripts and completes eligibility lists. Sandy, an alumnus of Hammond High, types, mimeographs, and answers the telephone. The bookstore is the office of Charlene Kammer, who is- also an alumnus of Hammond High School. She Handles contracts and bills for the Sports De- partment, acts as club auditor, and guides all stu- dents working in the bookstore. In the counselor’s offices, Mrs. Maxine Hensley processes schedules of Hammond High School stu- dents and handles the paper work of the counselors.

In the scopes of science and the skills of homemaking, and in the mastery of foreign languages and the melodiousness of music, students gain perception into the numerous branches of an education — offshoots which lead to personal sat- isfaction and professional skill. These educational achievements are reflected in the National Merit Scholars, in the National Honor Society, in speech and debate victories, in music awards, and in science fair winners. As the trunk gives body to a tree, so does a successful academic curriculum give strength to a school — a stoutness en- joyed by Hammond High School in 1962-1963. L vmutg kuU du iutg ike, uunm£Ji nutfdki Departure time comes too early as Pam Kraegel awaits a homeward- bound train with her host family in Trier, Germany. For many Hammond High School students who participated in various exchange programs and college seminars, the summer of 1962 was a profitable one. Eleven students (George Ade, Bill Bower, Maxwell Davis, Lois Johnson, Pam Kraegel, Lyn Kraus, Shirley Kruit, Sue LaFollette, Terry Levin, Jan MacDonald, and Suzanne Pochter), spent the summer in Germany and four (Lynn Bower, Dan Johnson, Roseanne Palfi, and Dale Spivack) in South America studying the foreign language and customs of the country while living with native families. At Indiana University, Camilla Colantonic attended a seminar in Latin, Leslie Kelly and Ann Lawther (Girls’ State) and Jim Bagaloff and Paul Hedges (Boys’ State) discussed United States government, and Joan Evans, Carol Hut- ton, Cindy Lindahl, and Pat Sibbert acquired new ideas from journalism workshops. Julie Kraay gained valuable knowledge con- cerning a career in speech therapy during a sum- mer course at Purdue University. And to explore the secrets of the Hopewell Indians, Jim Kretz participated in an archeoligical expedition in Illi- nois. Many students who did not study in seminars during the vacation recess attended Hammond High’s summer school session. In addition to many regular courses, special subjects were offered, such as Drivers’ Education and a daily four-hour Russian class. The summer of 1962 was a profitable one — one which provided experiences and teaching tech- niques not always possible during the regular term.

Hammond High School’s speakers program, provides students with the chance to gain an insight into the application of an education. . . . and bCMiom in the autumn One of the first big fall activities at Hammond High School directly involves the parents of the students rather than the pupils themselves. On Back to School Night parents become acquainted with their sons’ and daughters’ teachers, classes, and curriculum. Featured in Hammond High’s curriculum are a number of speakers. These specialists, who are involved in careers related to the classes in which they speak, are invaluable to the students’ under- standing of the application of an education. College Night is another practical aspect of services offered by Hammond High. This program enables students to secure information concerning colleges that interest them. On BLIE day representatives of business, labor and industry observe the operation of the school. In the classes and halls they receive impressions of future community leaders — future employees. Familiarizing Mrs. Lois Smith (Carl Smith ' s mother) with Rose Polytechnic Institute, Mr. Paul Heady explains the admission require- ments and costs of the Indiana school. College Night offers parents the opportunity to aid their children in making the correct college selection.

Bob Brazlovitz, Ruth Rosbolt, and Kitty Sheets (front row, 1-r) complete their work in a clerical practice class. Mr. Cecil Schubert, head of the Commercial Department at Hammond High, feels that the business field is one of the most important branches in an educated person’s life since one may always secure a job in typing, shorthand, or bookkeeping. In preparing students for careers in the busi- ness field, Mr. Schubert and the ten teachers in his department are always searching for improved teaching methods. Many of the 1050 students attending com- mercial classes are acquainted with the “listening comer” method in which a few students listen to a tape recorder in a remote comer of the room. This arrangement enables students to broaden their knowledge without disturbing the other mem- bers of the class. It is possible for a student to obtain the amount of knowledge and experience equivalent to one year of study at a business college in Ham- mond High’s well-equipped Commercial Depart- ment. Deborah Woody types dictation from a tape recorder in Mr. John Nichols’ class, while Susan Pressler operates the machine. 38 Illustrating the various forms of class presentation in Mr. John Preston’s first hour English 3 class are Mike Miller Dave Munster Dana Milles, and Tom Bullard. ' BngCiik teaihm di iezt method toward new bend The majority of the students at Hammond High are continuously involved with the Eng- lish Department, which is headed by Miss Leo- dicia Strange. American and world literature, advanced composition, and developmental read- ing are taught by the eighteen English instruc- tors at Hammond High School. These, as well as other courses such as English literature, are augmented with the En- cyclopedia Britanica Films. These movies inter- est the students and bring life to the art of writing and the literature of the world. Records on vocabulary growth and tapes of famous plays and poetry are also valuable teach- ing methods that are utilized. Three and one half years of English study are required for graduation from Indiana high schools. Hammond High, which blends crea- tive writing with the study of literature in its courses, offers sections to comply with the stu- dents’ immediate and future needs. Those pupils who have maintained an “A” average in the required courses and in one elective sub- ject are honored at a year-end tea sponsored by the Department. Because English plays a major roll in the world today, Hammond High School is directing its teaching methods toward new trends and is meeting the demands of society. Miss Leodicia Strange, head of the English Department, examines one of the textbooks used in Hammond High ' s curriculum. 39 40 iMfoum daiisU todvdaiit Under the baton of Mr. James Qualkin- bush, head of Hammond High School’s Instru- mental Music Department, the 95 members of the band and 40 members of the orchestra par- ticipated in diversified musical activities in the course of the year. During the football season, the marching band played at all home contests. Highlighting the halftime ceremonies was the production of “Arabian Nights” — a program featuring band members garbed in Arabic dress designed by Mrs. Edward Peck. To supplement the cheering block with zip, the Wildcats’ Pep Band played at away games and at pep sessions. With the end of the football season, the instrumentalists became a concert group, pre- senting two auditorium sessions and a winter and a spring concert. They participated in the State Band Contest, City Festival, and local parades. Sixty members entered solo and en- semble contests, with several winning state recognition. A rare privilege enjoyed by the department was the sponsorship in April of the United States Navy Band from Washington D.C.

Language Department chairman, checks a recording reel. Russian, Spanish, German, French, and Latin are the foreign languages taught at Hammond High School. Due to the increase in student ex- change programs and intercontinental travel, more students are studying a foreign language. In order to accomodate this new interest, Mrs. Josephine Schubert and the teachers in her depart- ment are pursuing new teaching methods. Much oral work is done in class and discussion is greatly encouraged. Tape recorders are used to improve the students’ rate of comprehension as well as improve their knowledge of civilizations. The ad- vanced textbooks that are used enable pupils to make direct contact with the literature of the respective foreign countries. The instructors work towards the goal of making the classes appeal to the students’ interest. The increasing importance of international com- munication places a heavy burden on the task of the teacher. However, Hammond High is success- fully meeting the demand of the times with its ever improving language program. Bojiee era uioct hjcchth .tot tomv Ha3aa.

More than 1180 students are engaged in the various classes that range from general mathema- tics and elementary geometry to advanced algebra and trigonometry. Some students in selected college preparatory classes of mathematics are participating in a special UICSM course. This subject, which has been available for the last five years, teaches a new approach to the science of numbers as devised by the University of Illinois Committee on Special- ized Mathematics. In an attempt to update its methods in teach- ing elementary algebra, a teaching machine is being used to supplement the text with some modem mathematics. Hammond High is succeeding with its pro- gram of modernizing its teaching procedures in all courses, especially in that of mathematics, which is so vital to this modem world of tech- nology. To check a student ' s progress in Hammond High’s four-year unified mathematics program, Miss Thelma Abell, head of the department, glances through one of the 1180 records of those enrolled in the department. 43 Members of Foods Classes Panchesen prepare holiday di Cranberries Ma As Foods Class ' Foods classes chose to friends to a Christmas te prepared the cookies and the guests. As a “surprise,” cranberry j p s i d e down cakes were baked by Mrs. Marion Half- acre’s cooks, wrapped in hol- iday ribbons and delivered by two class members to Mr. Robert Beyer, editor of Ev- ery Week magazine at the Hammond Times. Class mem- bers felt that since he wrote about their cranberry recipes and took pictures of those in- volved in “Operation Cran- berries,” class cooks felt that he should have inside infor mation” on these recipes. The best of the three re- cipes chosen by the Foods Classes and part of the cafe- teria staff, was Cranberry Apple Crunch. Since this re cipe can be cooked econom ically, the cafeteria is serv- ing this recipe during this holiday season. Mrs. Halfacre obtained the three new recipes which can be made, baked, and eaten in an hour. The three recipes are “Cranberry Cake.” “CTan berry Apple Crunch and “Cranberry Pudding ” The Cranberry Cake was serve d with a warm butter sauce and the Cranberry Pudding was served with a cinnamon Prior to deadline, Mr. A. T. Bolt, Publications Director, takes copy to Herald printer Ralph Beer. Cindy Lindahl, editor first semester, checks copy for print. With the arrival of a new Kelly press at the Ralph Beer Print Shop, the staff of the newly named Hammond High’s Herald switched the publication to a tabloid format. This type of paper gives the journalists more experience in news- paper makeup and provides a better pro- portion of page size for news, pictures and advertising. Twenty issues including the Temulac, the literary magazine, were issued to students, faculty, alumni and school exchanges for the Herald’s 39th year of continuous publication. Also new this year for the Herald was the change over of editors mid- semester. Hereafter, to give more stu- dents from the top down executive ex- perience, with midsemester the Editor- in-chief becomes Senior Editor and the managing editor or associate editor will be elected to Editor-in-chief for second semester. This second move will not be- come effective till February, 1964.

As stated by Bill Bower, Editor-in-Chief of the 1963 Dunes, “A yearbook is the reflection of a school. The extent to which this image compares with the institution is dependent not entirely upon the staff, rather upon the cooperation of the students and faculty. The participation of the pupils and teachers in the taking of pictures and contribution of infor- mation for copy determines the success of the annual.

Labora- tory work is a basic phase of the newly inaugurated Chem Study’ - program. In our increasingly scientific world we are constantly aware of the need for increased emphasis on the basic sciences. This year there are over a thousand students enrolled in Hammond High’s Science Department. Under the direction of Mr. J. H. Wood, the de partment includes courses in biology, health and safety, physics, and chem- istry. For advanced students there are accelerated sec- tions in biology, chemistry, and physics. Included in the biology course are units on anatomy and advanced dis- section, experimentation with heart and muscle action, and genetics. Offered in the third course of physics are studies in the field of mechanics with emphasis upon theory and formula derivation, consideration of nuclear physics, and laboratory work comparable to that carried on in the first year of college physics. A good number of Hammond High’s science students participate in science activities throughout the year. Stu- dents have won awards continually in the Westinghouse Talent Search for seniors, the Regional Science Fair, and the Indiana State Science Talent Search. To create further interest in the various fields of science, the de- partment has conducted assemblies and has sponsored an active club. In the physics la boratory Mr. J. H. Wood, Science Department head, illustrates the experimental derivation of a basic physical law. 48 Sociai Studies itudenU expfom, mm ' s cmagutg tpiAit H Mr. William McNabney, head of the Socia’ Studies Department, feels that “the amazing spirit of man is such that we study him to determine why it is that with his many falicies he will fight for truth, ideals, country, and honor, and cherish his values.” Mr. McNabney and the fifteen teach- ers in his department use this idea as their pur- pose in exploring such fields as world history, United States history, and government. Students in world history classes learn how to distinguish fact from fiction by learning to make sound conclusions. They also obtain a broad basis for interpreting fact by labeling conclusions as ethical, emotional, scientific, and unconscious. It is always a goal of the instructors to pre- sent the social studies to the students in an in- teresting manner.

During a conference period, Mrs. Gail Graves considers dramatic readings that would be ap- propriate for a member of Speech Arts Club. Speech teadtm p iomote nwte uj ofr om£ expieuion Much experience in public speaking and drama can be obtained by interested students at Hammond High School. Mr. T. D. Reed, who retired from coach- ing debate last year, teaches various English classes which are primarily devoted to public speaking. These classes are designed to par- tially eliminate the previous Speech 5 and Speech 6 classes. Oral rather than written work is stressed. Mr. Robert McLean replaced Mr. Reed as debate coach in 1962. Besides instructing the debaters, Mr. McLean organizes and par- ticipates in interscholastic debate tourneys, discussions, and student congresses. Mrs. Gail Graves, an English teacher, is also the sponsor of the Speech Arts Club. Under the direction of Mrs. Graves, the mem- bers of the club participate in city-wide and state-wide meets. Many pupils have gained valuable dra- matic experience through the All-School Play and the Senior Play, which are directed by Miss Oza Cunningham, also an English in- structor. These teachers fulfill their goals of giv- ing students a better command of the Eng- lish language. Good speaking habits formed in high school aid a student throughout his entire life. 50 Dorothy Roseneau gives her views on the importance of outside reading during a discussion with Douglas Dettman, Tom Moulton and Dave Loser in an English 3 class. One of Hammond High School’s academic extra-curricular activities, the debate team has proved superior in speech activities. The members are Leslie Bernard, Barbara Bremer, Jeff David- son, Kathy Hannas, Sue Harris, Joe Jefferies, Frank Kastin, Leslie Kelly (team captain), Mary Jo Kennedy, Jim Kretz, Suzanne Pochter, Leslie Pratt, Linda Skogan, Bill Sullivan, and Violette Summers. Mr. Robert McLean, new debate coac h, established an interesting and vigorous schedule for the squad. The top activities of the year included the Indiana Student Legislative Assembly, the Purdue Debaters Conference, and the N.F.L. and Open State championship tournaments. The topic of debate was the following: “Re- solved that the United States should promote a policy of reciprocal free trade with non-Commun- ist nations.” To refresh his memory, Mr. Robert McLean thumbs through a book on technical debate procedure in pre- paration for a tournament.

(Debby Woody, absent from picture. ) ohh u g ioup vwiiety Under the leadership of Miss Esther Waterbu ry (Director of the Vocal Music Department in the Hammond school system) and Mrs. Nancy Jacobs, the Vocal Music Department at Hammond High School strives to give students the chance to further their interest by offer- ing a variety of music courses based on individual achievements. Beginning vocal groups are Girls’ Chorus 1 and 2 and Boys’ Chorus, which are comprised of students who elect vocal music for the first time. More advanced groups are Mixed Glee Club, which contains students pro- moted after one or two semesters of vocal music, and Girls’ Choir, which is one of the more selective of the classes. A Capella Choir, the most advanced, often gives additional performances for civic organizations. In addition to these groups are en- sembles which include Melodaires, Chan- sonettes, and Madrigal Singers. Member- ship in these is determined by individual audition. Supplementing school pro- grams, Chansonettes and Madrigals sing for vocal performances and programs given by local organizations. Through these diverse groups, stu- dents enjoy the opportunities of partici- pating in the many branches of vocal music. As part of an auditorium presentation, (1-rl Joe Pruett. Larry Hamm.

Students begin art instructions at Hammond High with Art 1, a foundations course which teaches the fundamentals of line, form, color, tex- ture, and space. Those wishing to continue elect Art 2 and Art Projects. The first semester is devoted to the Fall Play and Christmas decora- tions, while the spring semester centers around the Senior Class Play, Scholastic Art Awards, the International Art Program, Poppy Poster Contest, and the Tri Kappa Home and Garden Tour. Each year, art students take field trips to Chicago, viewing such points as the Container Corporation, the Institute of Design at the Illi- nois Institute of Technology, and the Art Insti- tute of Chicago.

Because of the equipped facilities for the subject, Hammond High School stu- dents taking mechanical drawing travel to Hammond Technical Vocational High School each day for the class taught by Mr. Dennis Casperson. To achieve the goals and aims of me- chanical drawing, the class solves problems involving lettering, two and three view working drawings to scale, section views, detail drawings, and isometric drawings. These assignments enable the pupils to develop an interest in achievements and industry; an understanding of drawing, de- sign, and mental images; a habit of orderly performance; and an acquisition of know- ledge in drawing practices, values, equip- ment, materials, processes, and operations. Mr Dennis Casperson, Hammond Technical Vocational High School teacher, checks his notes before beginning mechanical drawing instruction to Hammond High School students.

In addition to these many functions, Association officers and sponsors conducted the orientation for new students before the first and second semesters and greeted Col- lege Night and BLIE Day visitors. An audi- torium session on wrestling was presented at the end of January and a new activity en- titled “Big Brother and Sister” was initiated, in which one boy and one girl in each study hall were assigned the task of greeting any new students who entered Hammond High during the year.

Jubilant after becoming 1962 State Champs, Hammond High ' s football team was paraded through downtown Hammond during the post-victory celebration. The Association played a part in festivities. 59 The bark of the “Family Tree of ’63” characterizes athletic achievement — the zeal for clean, crisp, challenging competi- tion built upon team sportsmanship and backed by student support. From the clashing contact on the gridiron and grappling mat to the crack- ling crack of a baseball bat and a mashie iron, athletes have represented the Wild- cats against the best of the elite, emerg- ing with state and conference champion- ship titles, all-staters, and a coach-of- the-year. As the covering of a tree protects the body, so do the athletic teams defend the prestige of a school. But the bark is not independent of the inner core, and neither are the teams free from a strong educational background. Success is ob- tained with a combination of both schol- astic and athletic abilities — a blend pro- minent in Hammond High School in 1962-1963. Narnmnd Nigh wutA State FoothcM CAampio being grounded.

Whiting’s Football-o-Rama was the scene for the Purple power debut as the Cats repulsed East Chicago Washington (19-14) and Whiting (7-0), going on to blast the Oilers again 13-0 in the second game of regular-season play after topping Bishop Noll 21-6 in the first home clash. Homecoming pagen- try highlighted the third encounter of the campaign with the Cats gaining 395 yards in rushing to defeat East Chicago Roosevelt 32-7 and to place Hammond High fourth in the UPI ratings. A 20-0 blanking of Hammond Tech moved the Purple to second in the UPI poll and primed the Wildcats for a 28-0 performance over Horace Mann for the top posi- tion in the Western Division. Holding Clark to 0 yards on the ground and only one first down, Hammond High drilled the Pioneers 32-0 in the sixth game of the trek, maintaining the “No. 2” spot in the UPI and AP ratings. To complete the Division season with a 6-0 slate, the Cats continued their unbeaten skein with a 26-0 victory over East Chicago’s Senators, followed by a 13-9 slip by Morton’s Governors. The Hobart Brickies fell to the Wildcats 34-7 before Ham- mond High ended the grid season with a 20-7 victory over South Bend Riley for the NIHSC crown and subsequently a top rating in the press polls for the mythical state title. In individual statistics, Bill Enochs paced the Cats in scoring with 10 touchdowns, followed by Ron Sims with 6. Sims led the backs in rushing with 702 yards in 93 carries for a 7.6 average; Joe Cadle ranked second with 7.3. Quarter- back John Boyajian threw 58 passes for 564 yards, completing 37 for a 63.8 percentage and 8 touchdowns. Gary Love tallied a 35.3 yard average in punting.

Starting slow at the be- ginning of the campaign, the cagers lost eight of their first ten contests, but fin- ished strong at the season’s end. Before shaking off their “football legs,” the Purple- dads lost the opener against South Bend Central (65- 57), but responded with a decisive defeat over Hobart (75-59). In the next four out- ings, Hammond High was toppled by Clark (60-42), Lafay- ette Jeff (69-54), lolleston (80-66), and Muncie Central V t U Du . With lopsided victories against Whiting (73-59) Tech (81-44), and Morton (78-59), Hammond High repeated its domination over local roundball entries. Before the new year began, a rugged Michigan City quintet slashed the Wildcats (100-47), and Terre Haute Gertsmeyer (48-47) and Terre Haute Bloomfield (47-46) squeaked by the Purple with one-pointers in the holiday tournament pairings. With 1963 the Cats found the shooting range and romp- ed over Valparaiso (83-62), Horace Mann (68-37), Emer- son (64-51), East Chicago Roosevelt (64-61), Lew Wallace (76-43), East Chicago Washington (70-63), and Froebel (74-54). Hammond High fell one point short of LaPorte (65-64) in overtime play. In the first game of the sectionals, the Wildcats tipped Griffith (71-61), but succumbed to East Chicago Washing- ton (64-62) by a “last-second” Senator basket.

Nine, Miujuiutg Although rain-outs and inclement weather spotted competition in April accounting for cancellations or postponements, the first half of Hammond High School’s baseball season was a fruitful one for the Wildcat unit, piloted by Mr. William Strater, head coach, and Mr. Orlando Wyman, assistant. With the entire starting unit composed of returning lettermen, Coach Strater molded the ball club into a balanced unit which blasted Cal-Township (9-4) in its first out- ing. The Purple baseballers downed Highland (2-0), Griffith (4-2), Thornton Fractional (15-6), and Dyer (7-1) in consecutive con- tests before succumbing to Morton (5-1) in a gallant effort against Governor hurling ace Bob Guzek. Against Bishop Noll the Wildcats gai ned a lopsided 12-3 victory before falling to East Chicago Washington in a 3-1 squeaker. At mid season Del Kuchaes paced the team in hitting with a .429 average, followed by Rich Sivulich with .369.

SO An outstanding phase of Hammond High School’s Athletic Department is the physical education instruction. Throughout the day, more than 150 boys are involved in physical education classes that are taught by Mr. Bernie Krueger, and Mr. Orlando Wyman. Sports such as basketball, baseball, track, and swimming are taught. These classes are the primary training grounds for those students not participating in major or minor sports. Each year Mrs. Barbara Robbins and Miss Rita Grose, girls’ physical educa- tion instructors, instil in over 200 stu- dents the desire for a healthy body and the love of wholesome play. Girls gain knowledge in teamwork through volley- ball, softball, and soccer. The individual is stressed in activities such as track, races, and tumbling. The swimming pro- gram is organized according to the stand- ards set up by the American Red Cross. Rope climbing provides one method of muscular exercise for boys enrolled in physical education classes. More than 150 particiate in this program of body develop- ment through non-varsity basketball, baseball, track, and swimming. Girls take advantage of swimming classes taught during the 1962 summer school session at Hammond High School.

From the interest created by German “Spiel” to the inquisitiveness aroused by business speakers, and from the services rendered by fellowship groups to the social events sponsored by Student Ac- tivities, clubs supplement learning through an atmosphere of working to- gether. As the limbs of a tree branch in di- verse directions, so do the many clubs fork into different areas of interest and intent. Yet combined, the branches form the outlook of the timber, as do these national organization chapters, fellowship organs, hobby clubs, occupational associ- ations, and service groups from a unified reflection of the wide-ranging school so- ciety — a union dedicated to the progress of Hammond High School in 1962-1963.

Through field trips and project work, they obtain- ed more interesting information concern- ing the biological sciences. Club members having hobbies pertaining to biology were encouraged and given advice by the sponsor, Miss Virginia Esten. Dorothy Rosenau is president of the club. Malcom Wade and Carolyn Harbi- son hold the respective offices of vice- president and secretary-treasurer. To become more familiar with the many fields of engineering and to pro- mote individual projects are the objec- tives of the J.E.T.S. Club sponsored by Mr. Charles Sizemore.

The members of the organization were encouraged to take part in individual projects and field trips during the school year. These students strived for a broad- er understanding of this modem world of numbers and the atom. Sponsored by Mr. Lawrence Lund- gren and Mr. Ronald Wagenblast, the club has as its president James Morrison and as its secretary Paul Duncanson. Because of our ever shrinking world and the tremendous power and influence of the countries composing it, the Social Science Club was never at a loss for a topic of discussion during the year. The members of the organization explored in great detail problems discovered in social studies classes. Through research, the students probed for greater understand- ing of the social sciences.

T. Bolt. Quill and Scroll is a national high school hono- rary society for journalism students. To be con- sidered for membership, a student must maintain a “B” average and work on either a high school news- paper or yearbook. The National Merit Scholarship Program is a nationwide search for students who demonstrate ex- traordinary ability on the qualifying tests and in the classroom. Seven students (Oren Conway, Leonard Dus- zynski, Gary Friedman, Pete Kambiss, Susan Mulli- gan, Tim Rowton, and John White) were finalists from Hammond High. At the end of the 1962 school year, the Quill and Scroll chapter banquet provided the setting for staff members of both publications to receive awards and to hear the an- nouncement of the 1963 editorial positions. Clockwise around table — Ami Crumpacker, Phyllis Wood, Jill Levenberg, Lenore Skalnik, Jere Stephan, Lynne Balsley, Carol Hutton, Sue Eaton. 105 The leaves of the “Family Tree of ’63” characterize the students — young men and women striving for an educa- tion to secure future success and satis- faction. From the novelty experienced by freshmen in their first year to the nos- talgia encountered by seniors in their la§t, and from the vivacity demonstrated by sophomores at play to the vivacious- ness depicted by juniors at the prom, stu- dents fashion the character of the school in all of its many parts. As the leaves of a tree differ in ap- pearance, so do the students differ in interests and ideals. Yet viewed as a whole, the leaves form the fullness of the tree, as the students form the back- bone of the institution. As the leaves flower, flourish, and then fall, so do the pupils begin their high school careers, enjoy its offerings, and then graduate — one cycle completed in Hammond High School in 1962-1963. Leaver Qpjdo u made, up the of 1963 - Oren Conway, valedictorian of the Class of 1963 , was as successful during his three years at Hammond High School as he was in his freshman year at Wilbur Wright. Oren’s titles of National Honor Society Vice-President and National Merit Finalist illustrate his splendid academic achievements. Being a member of the House of Represen- tatives, Oren showed a keen interest in the school Association. He has also served as sec- retary of the H-Men’s Council and was captain of the Western Division Champion Tennis team. Oren’s accomplishments in sports, as well as in academic subjects, have given him a wide background for his college life at the University of Michigan.

Conjalka, a Hammond High School sophomore, passed away sud- denly April 6, 1963 after a short ill- ness.

From the local malt shop to the love- liest dress salon, and from the best car dealer to the biggest dairy, young people spend their money and time. Through this junction of student and salesman, teacher and tradesman, admin- istrator and agent, the school becomes enrooted in the heart of the community — an implantation strong in Hammond, Indiana, in 1962-1963. l C|r«rf ;+ )re df Jpo vrsode _ o-- - r SOM ot (OoooCnQ ! oO noL.

Perhaps your decision will be to go on for fur- ther education. Or it may be, you will be looking for the job of your choice. In either event, this deci- sion will affect and shape your future life in many ways. Regardless of what you decide, we hope that the Inland Steel Company will be a part of your future. Many graduates are currently involved in successful careers here at the Harbor Works as part of the nation’s basic steel industry. Steel mill work today is highly complex, involving automated production lines which require people who can be trained in skilled jobs. Most of the jobs are in- volved directly in the steel- making process while others are available in the labora- tories or in various departmen- tal offices. Regardless of your interests, excellent opportunities exist with Inland Steel. In addition to excellent paying jobs and an out- standing benefit program, Inland offers a variety of on- the-job training programs plus the Purdue- Inland Program. This Program, offered to a full time employee, provides training in the areas of steelmaking, mechanics, and electricity.
