Senior class enacts comedy , The Family Man’ Expounding on the importance of the money, Vincent Blair (David Quick) urges his sister, Ellen Cahill (Peggy Carlson), to accept her husband’s prize for homemaker of the year. Members of the senior class en- acted the comedy The Family Man” in the HHS auditorium March 28. Because of inadequate response from seniors, two freshmen and seven sophomores appeared in play. Comedy, authored by B. B. Zavin and Carl Leo, concerned the Cahill family’s problems when Mr. Cahill (Dennis Shoup) broke his leg while playing ball. Ordered to a six-month rest, Mr. Cahill tended to the do- mestic chores while Mrs. Cahill (Peggy Carlson) went to work. Complications arose when Mr. Ca- hill became homemaker of the year. Miss Oza Cunningham directed the production. The stage crew constructed settings and handled the lighting, while, costume, prop- erty, publicity and ticket commit- tees lent their efforts.

Parent groups join offspring in boosting efforts Parent - Teacher Assn., Adult Booster Club and Band Parents helped to boost Hammond High. Adult Boosters netted $1497 by sponsoring three summer dances at Munster Lanes. The last dance in August drew a record 798 teens. Profits from these dances financed sports banquets at Teibel’s after fall, winter and spring seasons. They also provided vests and flasher cards for the cheering bloc. After cancellation of a theater party in January, PTA staged a get- together starting with a chili and hot dog supper in the cafeteria Feb. 28. Next came a bake sale, soc hop in the lower north hall and card games in the girls’ gym. Scholarship fund and post-prom party benefitted from this event.
