As the fire blazed, the traditional festivities of Hammond High’s Homecoming began. First a pep rally around the bonfire; then the announcement of the class Princesses and Homecoming Queen finalists were made. Chosen as Princesses were Julie Rosenthal, freshman; Linda Sherry, sophomore and Connie Wydra, junior. Bonnie Barkley, Jennifer Johnson, and Pam Parrish were Queen finalists. Blasting horns from the car parade echoed throughout the streets of Hammond on that Friday night, September 20. The senior class float took top honors this year. At 7 sharp, the parade participants filled the bleachers and waited for the beginning of the game. By half-time, everyone’s attention was focused on the Queen candidates as they nervously awaited the news of their status. Association president Dave Brossart, along with Dr. Feuerbach, principal, took charge of the situation and Bonnie Barkley was crowned 1963 Homecoming Queen. The Wildcats defeated Hammond Tech by an over- helming score of 20-2. This victory added to the spirit at the sock-hop at the Civic center after the game, gave a happy ending to a memorable homecoming. With a “bonny” smile, Bonnie Barkley is crowned 1963 Homecoming Queen by David Brossart. Full of excitement, the watchful crowd waits with anticipation for the referee ' s decision. The cheerleaders with the help of the band, added spirit and encouraged participation in the bonfire ceremonies. The Cats are victorious in their clash with the Hammond Tech Tigers.

Dennis Bradley, Dave Brusch, and Larry Duvall finally found a lion that they could tame! After experiencing the hustle and bus- tle of a big city and seeing the way our government is run, students returned home after an exciting week in New York City and Washington D.C. Our juniors and seniors left the Erie railroad station Tuesday evening, Octo- ber 22. The first stop was New York City. After checking in at the Picadilly Hotel the students were free until curfew time. In the morning they started on their tours which lasted three days and included a boat ride to the Statue of Liberty, a show at the Radio City Music Hall, a tour through the Empire State Building, a popular television station, China Town and the United Nations. The students concluded their stay in New York with a taste of night life at the International Cafe Restaurant, where they ate dinner and saw a floor show. On they went to our nations capital, Washington D.C. The next two days were filled with tours of the Washington Mon- ument, Lincoln Memorial, the White House, the Capital Building, the Smith- sonian Institute, the Shrine of Immacu- late Conseption, and Mount Vernon, home of George Washington. “There will never be another Wash- ington Trip like the one of 1963,” were the few words uttered by the exhausted group of students that got off the train Monday afernoon. Here we see the shining faces of our male chaperones: Mr. Carroll, Mr. McNabney, and Mr. Panton. Turn around, George, and don’t waste your film! 9
