Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1969 volume:

This 1969 Dunes belongs to Dunes 7969 Volume 54 Hammond High School 5926 Calumet Avenue Hammond, Indiana View through kaleidoscope depicts HHS diversity Organizations Athletics As a kaleidoscope functions with constant elements moving in ever- changing patterns, Hammond High School in 1969 projected its own uniqueness while it retained its basic ideals of pride, brotherhood, tradition and achievements. New ideas and experiences ma- terialized on the HHS scene while others became a part of the past. Post-fire repairs and return of nor- mality and pigeons; rivalry with Munster High; HHS-Clark merger proposals, rebuttal by shouts of “Keep HHS Alive”; and teacher, janitor strikes phased into the lives of all HHS citizens. These factors superceded such phased out ele- ments as homecoming bonfire, gym- nastics program and boys gym. Environment and needs affected HHS’ers as they formed a montage in their ways of living, sensing, working, spending, moving and at- Individuals tending. Unlike student bodies at the other Hammond high schools, Wild- cats compiled a mixture liberally flavored with all racial, religious and economic backgrounds. Whether computing trigometric functions, baking a batch of brown- ies for a club bake sale, memor- izing lines for the all-school play or warming up on the field be- fore a football game, students mold- ed their year into a kaleidoscope of work, fun and memories.

While jaunting to school; tackling part-time jobs; expending money, time and energy; attending church, movies and auditoriums; sensing their surroundings or witnessing the world’s unrest, Wildcats and each aspect of their lives merged into a montage of teendom. 5 Precisioned landscaping, winding streets and well-manicured lawns characterize the more exclusive southwest side of Hammond. Neighborhoods Northside, southside, East Ham- mond and their smaller neighbor- hoods kaleidoscoped as the array of home bases for HHS students. Students went home to buildings that ranged from near-mansions to split- levels, from unpretentious frame homes to slum-houses and from trailers to apartment houses. HHS’ers resided as far north as 140 St. near the toll road, and as far south as 178th St. near Little Calumet River, Hammond ' s south- ern boundary. Farthest east point was the 1700 block, with the west edge at the Illinois state line be- tween Hammond and Calumet City. Calumet Ave. to the west, High- land St. to the north, Cleveland St. to the south and Willard Ave. to the east formed the b oundaries with the greatest density of population. The section with the least density was north of the Grand Calumet River. The population center, how- ever, tended to move southward with each incoming class. 6 reflect diversity of home bases Near southside street retains brick-lined air of the past for industrial workers’ homes. Solidly constructed, turn-of-the-century homes characterize the northside, but some of these houses are becoming multiple-family dwellings. East Hammond boomed after 1906 when Pullman Standard opened its plant. Neighborhood citizens groups are now trying to impro ve the section. Scrunching into his car parked in faculty Homebound after day’s end, Sue Kritsch boards one of the waiting Shore Line school buses, lot, Mr. Steve Kucer ends teaching day. Crossing Highland St„ rideless students form a steady southbound stream as they follow the familiar path toward home along Calumet Ave. 8 Variety of vehicles transports teens on the go Slogging through a snowbank, Kevin Jaynes and Mark Dongu race to reach seats on the bus. Characterizing upperclassmen, Jerry Beaman waits for passengers before leaving school. Traversing to and from HHS, Wildcats created a kaleidoscope with their modes of transportation. Although voluminous texts weight- ed them down, those who lived close enough hoofed their way to school. Shore Line bus company supplied special buses for south and south- west side inhabitants. Northside riders not serviced by these buses hailed city buses at nearby corners. Family wheels served in getting many HHS’ers to classes. Either parents chauffered or upperclass- men did their own driving. Toting a stack of books, Sylvia Sang clam- bers into an awaiting car after school. 9 Expense-pressed teens profit from employment To earn spending money, to save for education, or to help support their families, Wildcats joined pay- rolls of several area businesses. Students’ part-time occupations included toiling as hospital aides, waitresses and carhops, gas station attendants, stock boys and cashiers, babysitters, secretaries, music in- structors and sales clerks. School activities provided jobs such as cafeteria workers and tick- et sellers for a few students. Working on a volunteer basis out- side of school, HHS’ers served as Sunday school teachers, candy strip- ers and Neighborhood Youth Corps- men. In school they offered their services as office aides, monitors, bookstore and guidance workers. Arranging accessories on shelf, Marian Crandbois fulfills her job in men’s clothing shop. Filling a family order, Ruth Rattay works as a counter girl for a chicken carry-out firm. Working part-time at a lumber company, Leslie Cheatham operates a hydraulic lift. 10 Selling basketball tickets at Civic Center, HHS worker Sue Johnsen obliges Bob Kras. Fulfilling carryout duties, Cary Bales bags groceries for a Saturday afternoon shopper. Pumping a dollar’s worth of gas, service station attendant Jack Malia gauges the price. Mouthwash section in a drugstore gets fresh supplies thanks to stocking by Don Johnsen. 11 Fads , foods , fun , fashion deplete student wallets Fads, foods, fun and fashion de- pleted students’ funds. Average ac- tive Wildcats spent approximately $500 annually on school-associated expenses. HHS’ers disbursed dollars on top records “Those Were the Days,” “Love Child,” Hey Jude,” and movie blockbusters “Rosema- ry’s Baby,” “The Boston Strangler ” and Cone With the Wind.” Fashion-minded students acquired sweater vests, wide ties and muf- flers. Girls donned culottes, leath- er outfits, ruffled blouses and heel- to-toe pants. Boys wore turtle- necks, and CPO and army jackets. Students emptied their pockets for posters, stationery, I Am Loved paraphernalia, magazines, and snacks: pizza, fries and cokes. Knit-shirted John Lewis and Eunice Burns, wearing heel-to-toe slacks and a ruffled blouse, chat during basketball halftime. Clad in sportswear typical of student school togs, monitor Robin Keightley, in culottes, vest and turtleneck, returns admit to Frank Cursansky, who also sports turtleneck sweater. Attired in leather shorts, Beth Webb accepts coke proffered by army-jacketed Martin Tharp. 12 Stimuli strike teen reactors with pleasure , pain Succumbing to winter’s temptation, Odestress McCoy revels in sliding through fresh snow. Stark beauty of an icy afternoon in Harrison Park invites Rich Card and Denise Paluck. Their senses assaulted, tantalized or invigorated, HHS teens saw, heard, felt, tasted and sniffed. Their eyes delighted in greening grass, the tulip tree budding on the south lawn, a steady’s smile. Hearing a vocal department fi- nale thrilled them, though their 7 a.m. alarm clock jangled them. To erase recollections of a sub- zero wind whipping off Lake Mich- igan, March’s first coatless day warmed arms and gladdened hearts. Anything fattening teased taste buds, but nothing could turn them off faster than warm, flat cokes. Chocolate cake baked in home ec caused envious sniffs throughout the building, but a dose of smog from East Chicago’s steel mills and Whiting’s oil refineries was enough to choke any Hammondite. Thus stimuli struck HHS teens for a kaleidoscope of reactions. Electronically amplified, comboist Robbi e Clavier provides pulsating soc hop sounds.- 13 Headlines remind HHS’ers of world happenings Rejoicing in US space feats and enduring international strife, HHS citizens reacted to headlines. Robert Kennedy’s assassination June 5 besmirched the Presidential campaign. Republicans nominated Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew in Miami Beach. Democrats staged their spectacle, replete with po- lice-citizen riots, in Chicago. To complicate matters, conser- vative George Wallace and Curtis LeMay carried some southern states, but Nixon eyelashed Humphrey to become the 37th President. But before Lyndon Johnson left office, he witnessed Apollo 7 and 8 space spectaculars highlighted by 8’s Christmas Eve moon orbit. Another Christmas US gift came in the form of North Korea’s re- lease of the Pueblo crew 1 1 months after their capture for espionage. Cmdr. Lloyd Bucher and crew told a naval inquiry court of their tor- ture and coerced confessions- In other trials, Sirhan Sirhan pleaded temporary insanity in Rob- ert Kennedy’s murder; James Earl Ray pleaded guilty to Martin Lu- ther King’s murder; and Clay Shaw was found innocent of conspiring to kill President John Kennedy. Once inaugurated, Nixon toured six European countries in February, hassled with the anti-ballistic mis- sile question in March, then mourn- ed former President D. D. Eisen- hower’s death March 28. Cabinet secretaries included Mel- vin Laird, defense; William Rog- ers, state; and controversial Wal- ter Hinkle for interior department, Vietnam war continued, but peace talks in Paris — once delegates had decided the table’s shape — offered some hope for settlement. Other international news came from Russia’s invasion of Czecho- slovakia, Biafran starvation, Arab- Israeli clashes, skyjacks to Cuba. While student revolts rocked campuses, teachers struck in New York, East Chicago and Hammond. Hoosiers elected Republican Ed- gar Whitcomb governor, had their cars inspected and paid the sec- ond highest auto gas tax in the US. Natural forces made known their power when a pre-noon earthquake rocked 19 midwest states, includ- ing Indiana, Nov. 9. Floods and an offshore oil leak plagued Cal- ifornians. Mid-winter’s Hong Kong flu epidemic scourged the world. Wedding news came from Jackie Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis, Ju- lie Nixon and David Eisenhower. Baseball fans saw Detroit beat St. Louis in the World Series, while grid enthusiasts saw Ohio State beat Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl. New York Jets upset Bal- timore in the pro Super Bowl. UCLA with Lew Alcindor took a third straight NCAA cage title by whipping Purdue and Rick Mount. Unbeaten Indianapolis Washington went to the wire against Tolles- ton in winning the final game of the state basketball tourney. Indicative of campaign fever that swept HHS, Fred Baginski sports political pins. As a result of an Association petition and Herald editorial, workman applies plaster to Hammond High corridors in a post-fire facelifting. Bibbed for a group brush-in, cavity fighters Mary Simmons, Nancy Conway and LaVonne King fluoride their teeth in an IU program Feb. 11. 15 Enthusiasts patronize school, region diversion Wildcats on the go surged through a kaleidoscope of activities. Revolv- ing around school-oriented enter- tainment, students attended ath- letic meets, plays, fund-raising events, field trips and soc hops. Breaking out of Hammond High orbit, teen spectators viewed mov- ies, applauded concerts and stage plays, worshipped at churches. Activists beach -partied, trick-or- treated, tobogganed, flew kites. Auditorium sessions involved HHS ' ers both as participants and audiences. Assemblies focused on safety, brotherhood, vocal music, cit- izenship, Illinois archeology, dra- ma, student government and sports. Enthusiasm and pride in the purple radiate from the stands of Friday night football fans. Reverence after quiet church moments inspires judi MacCartney, Brian Rohde and Paul Foltz. Entertainment sprinkled with education sparks auditorium session as Mr. Frank Bur- rows Jr. uses magic to stress auto safety. 16 Cats overlook color, creed; prefer individuality Mixed emotions mark Brenda Jefferson’s reaction to African breakfast served be- fore school in Afro-American history. Perturbing Dennis Shoup, Maury McCough enacts bigotry in brotherhood auditorium. Boasting a balanced blend of stu- dents, HHS taught its citizens a priceless lesson: acceptance of each individual as a human being, not as a white or black, a Mexican or Pole, a Jew or Presbyterian. Whether in the locker room after a game, on stage before a concert or in the hall before class, Wild- cats overlooked race, nationality, creed and father’s occupation in favor of cooperation, personality. In an era of increasing US ra- cial tension, HHS tried to better student relations. Association hu- man relations committee became a full-fledged club. A student pe- tition resulted in a six-week Afro- American history course that at- tracted students of every race. Firemen’s charity program gets toys from Sandy Peterson, Sylvia Sang and Sue Weaver. Activities Suspense over homecoming queen elections, combos’ throbbing dynamism at soc hops, prom splendor, tears and relief following commencement carried HHS’ers through an array of school activities. Students became activated in a multitude of events. They swapped ideas with West Lafayette students, garnered laurels for their scholastic achievements and savored sights in Washing- ton, DC, and New York City.

Each sequence, structured accord- ing to students’ needs, interests and abilities; provided classes with different goals and experiences. Courses were flexible so as to en- able a student to transfer easily from one sequence to another. Basic math pupils perfected skills acquired in middle school. General mathematicians solved problems dealing with practical experiences they will face in the future. College prep course included algebra, geom- etry, trigonometry and math analy- sis.

However, in its first game in three weeks, Roosevelt handed HHS a 28-20 loss. This loss marked HHS’s first of the 1968 season. HHS had opened the season with a 27-0 victory over Kokomo. On the basis of this win, the first Associated Press grid poll ranked the Wildcats sixth in the state. Next the Cats defeated Noll 13-7 and Whiting 6-0 to put HHS eighth in the AP state poll and third in the Hammond Times’ local poll.

Joining the other four Hammond public high schools in initiating the sport, HHS fielded its first soccer team in the spring of 1968. Coached by Mr. Frank Carroll, Cats posted a 5-1 slate. Season’s close saw HHS gain the city crown by whipping Clark 2-0 in a playoff. Soccer entered the city sports ros- ter on an intermural basis with varsity status as the eventual aim. The schools added the playoff to encourage greater interest. John Aranowski with four goals, one assist; Neal Kitchell with two goals, one assist; Darrell Dippon with two goals took scoring honors for the newest Wildcat aggregation.

Whether expounding on theories, gossiping with friends or making sure HHS gears meshed, a conglomerate of skin colors, religions, surnames and personalities poured into the Wildcat melting pot to produce the HHS scene. 113 Problems, crises, tragedy beset school leaders School year 1968-69 challenged the school board, administration and teachers with a procession of prob- lems, crises and even tragedy. Even the first day of school in September was in doubt as the school board and Hammond Teach- ers Assn, carried on marathon nego- tiation sessions to settle on the terms of the contract between the school city and HTA, elected sole teacher bargaining agent in 1968. Tragedy dimmed HHS’s pre-holi- day festivities when Mr. John Nic- hols, business teacher, died Dec. 18. A train had hit his car at the Highland St. tracks Dec. 17. Winter’s Hong Kong flu epidemic took its toll in teacher absentees. Hospitalization of seven teachers during the year also helped to lengthen the faculty absence list. HHS lost another teacher when English teacher Mrs. Vera Erickson was transferred to Morton to fill a vacancy there second semester.

They observed a work stoppage called March 7 by the Indiana State Teachers Assn. This stoppage protested the failure of Gov. Edgar Whitcomb and the state legislature to ap- propriate enough money for the state’s educational needs. Eleven Hammond High teachers, some of them carrying signs in front of Irving school while Gavit faculty carried signs at HHS, ob- served the ISTA work stoppage. However, 54 teachers and 800 of about 1 200 students reported to school that day. Therefore HHS was the only one of the 28 schools in Hammond to remain in operation. In decisions affecting HHS, the school board voted to merge HHS and Clark and to repair fire damage. Despite concerted HHS opposi- tion, voiced through petition and strife-riddled public meetings, the board approved the school merger by a 3-2 vote Dec. 2. Merger op- ponents based their stand not so much on the merger as on a pro- posed site at Gostlin St. and Co- lumbia Ave. They also asked the fate of the old HHS building. Later the board approved a face- lifting for HHS after repeated HHS administrative requests, student pe- titions and Herald photographs. Workmen then entered the build- ing to apply plaster, paint and ceiling tile to rooms and halls scarred by the December ’67 fire. On the lighter side, the faculty welcomed newcomers at its annual autumn picnic at a Cook County forest preserve shelter. The teach- ers honored their veteran col- leagues at the traditional retire- ment banquet in the spring. HHS followers from the 40’s and 50’s as well as the present join- ed forces Jan. 23 to honor Mr. Bob King, former basketball coach. During his years at the Cat cage helm, he and his teams captured a string of sectional and region- al championship trophies for HHS.

Freshmen gathered in auditorium Aug. 30 for orientation, where they got their first taste of HHS life. Dean Mr. Ted Fruehling explained rules and regulations. They then posed for identification pictures. Frosh first combined forces to build a float for homecoming. Their work, entitled We’re Betting on a Wildcat Victory,” placed fourth.

Returning to DOHHS in fall 1968, 1200 Wildcats regarded with fond- ness the fire-scarred walls and halls. It was home, a welcome sight after the vagabonding that followed fhe December 1967 fire. Soon, however, HHS loyalists found themselves faced with the school board ' s decision to merge Clark and HHS. With “Pride” the password and “Keep HHS Alive” the motto, they spent the year guard- ing against any untimely burials. They petitioned successfully for a posf-fire facelifting for the 50- year-old building. Cheerfully dodg- ing scaffolds and chunks of plaster, Wildcats exhibited the flexibility and diversity so characteristic of their kaleidoscope of 1968-69. Monitor Sue Michaw serves in hallway typical of HHS before remodeling began. Workmen started replastering and painting in December. 175 Amidst the clutter of pictures, paper and typewriters, Dunes staffers profit from a custodian strike day by working on their assignments. Dunes staffers collect memories of laughs , work Contemplating a cutline, Miss Judy Richter ponders the possibility of a better verb. Publishing the Dunes produced a kaleidoscope of memories for the staff. We compiled a minibook of famous Dunes quotations with “me- thinks thou doth protest too much,’’ ' give me strength, “what’s a ka- leidoscope?” nobody understands me, “journalism, “man of the op- posite sex,” “don ' t matz that up, “chaff is the income tax of popular- ity,” “I saw it in a grocery store,” “quick! chew seven sticks of gum!” Our experiences — sitting on Viet Nam, dipping hair in black paint, arguing on April 1, flying from the door, climbing on the file cabinets, fighting for workable typewriters, tripping over the sales total, taping and retaping kaleidoscope, search- ing through the pix file and work- ing at Miss Richter’s apartment enlivened our yearbook slavery. We laughed-cried over wrong ran- dom right. Dean’s sawed off leg, finicky Gertie and Bandersnatch, profound dreams, visitors, gummed up Dunes, adding machine, red-foot- ed pigeons, Trids, Tom Jones, Moni- ca’s wart, N.N. S.S., e.e. Cum- mings, Bozo, stale peanuts, crou- tons, Tiger, patrol, munchkins, Miss R’s beautiful yellow crayon. Like any major undertaking, Dunes required ideas, work and coopera- tion from staff, volunteers and draftees. To these people edi- tor Patsy Kaply owes thanks: Pat Pritchett, editorial asst. ; Deb- bie Runyan, Linda Tapper, photog- raphy editors; Leanne Hoagland, Joyce Kilmer, layout editors; Lyn- da Perkins, faculty editor; Marie Schiltz, senior editor; Olivia Reyes, Nicki Solan, underclass editors; Kathy DeGuilio, academics editor; Kathy Kaminski, index editor; and all the copywriters, ID takers and typists. Special thanks to Miss Judy Richter for her tolerance and adept advice; Harry Dudzik of Bodie’s; JoAnne Keeler for her ingenious ad section; Bonnie Frevert for her in- fectious laugh and willing ability to fill in anywhere; Monica Leeney for her literary perseverance and the knack of not catching on. The 845 yearbooks, printed by DeLaney on 100-lb. enamel paper, sported 30 pt. Futura italic heads, 10 12 Metro regular body copy and 8 9 Metro bold and regular out- lines. SK Smith Co. of Chicago sup- plied the Basin Street blue covers designed by Michelle Slupski. 176
