Auditorium Stand-Outs Dr. Feuerbach at Association Auditorium, swore in 1964- 1965 officers. Things started roaring for ’65 with the oath of office administered to the Associa- tion President Jeff Davidson by Dr. Kenneth Feuerbach, principal. Echoes of the presidential campaign of the nation where seen and heard on the Hammond High stage as the government classes did their part in an auditorium program prior to election. ft- jCr m IF. I fcMli 1 J Government class put on an auditorium program about the national elections. The Vocal Department put on its annual Christmas program with Seasonal Greetings Cards as the theme. The Holiday Season would not be com- plete without the Vocal Department Vespers and the excerpts for the school audience before the one-week Christmas vacation. Stage settings gave the audience live Yuletide cars. Thanks again go to Mrs. Nancy Jacobs and Miss Esther Waterbury.
