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 These factors superceded such phased out ele- ments as homecoming bonfire, gym- nastics program and boys gym.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.

Student life Crowing in an era of change, Hammond High citizens constructed a collage of everyday events. 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
