Washington, NYC welcome HHS tripsters Washington-New York trip both entertained and wearied 1 10 juniors and seniors and four faculty chap- erons who toured the two cities Oct. 24 to 30. Wildcat travelers shared journey with 322 upper- classmen and 1 4 teacher-chaperons from the other Hammond high schools — Clark, Cavit, Tech and Morton. Lack of heat, hootenannies, journeys from car to car and late-night talks in washrooms characterized the 21- hour rides on Erie-Lackawanna trains. Arrival in Washington, D.C., temporarily dampened spirits as Hammondites raced with baggage to buses and Hotel Harrington in drenching downpour. As skies cleared, tourists boarded buses for evening tour of Wax Museum and Washington Monument. Stu- dents also saw Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, Smith sonian Institute, White House, Capitol, Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington National Cathe- dral and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. After touring Washington, Wildcats journeyed to New York. There tripsters viewed Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Lincoln Center for the Perform- ing Arts (including Metropolitan Opera House and Philharmonic Hall) and Radio City Music Hall. While snow falls in Hammond, jacketless Phil Smith fakes pushing Pat Pritchett into sunlit tidal basin near Jefferson Memorial.

Instruments in hand, bandsters chat before departing for their Expo concert appearance. Band accomplishes goal: 2 Expo concerts Swinging sledge hammer, body basher vents academic frustrations at band’s car bash. n Crossing into Canada, 80 bands- men and director Mr. James Qualk- inbush performed in two concerts Sept. 13 at Expo ’67 in Montreal. With 18 chaperons, bandsmen boarded bus Sept. 1 1 for six-day trip to 1967 Canadian centennial. They spent free time visiting the fair ' s international exhibits. After fair screening committee had chosen band last spring, prepa- rations for trip began with money- making projects such as car bash. With help of Band Parents Asso- ciation headed by Mr. Clarence Tap- per, they raised $6000 by car wash- es, candy sales and concerts. Nine-tune program surprised many foreign visitors. “Because foreign countries have no free music train- ing in public schools, visitors can’t believe that 80 students in one school could be so talented,” ex- plained Mr. Qualkinbush. 20
