Hi$ A CENTURY CE PRICE Last year the city of Hammond celebrated its centennial. This event occurred on April 28, 1984. It began with a 10 a m. parade in front of City Hall. The parade in- cluded over 20 marching bands, several floats from Hammond Public Schools and other sur- rounding cities. Hammond Public School graduates: Jean Shephard, who is a well-known author; Carlos Tite, who is a professional boxer; and Darryl Chaney, who played baseball for the Cincinnati Reds; were in the parade. Also present was Governor Robert Orr. Following the parade the festivities began at Hammond High Field. Food booths were set up in the parking lot for everyone ' s eating pleasures while on the field, Lake Central ' s Marching Band pro- vided the music. Following this, keys to the city were presented to Mr. Shephard, Mr. Tite, Mr. Chaney, and Chief Lone Eagle who is the oldest living resident of Hammond. The festival ended around 6 p.m. and the residents of Hammond left knowing that they had helped celebrate Hammond ' s first one hun- dred years — and hoping for many more. Bringing his campaign to Hammond, Cary Hart joins in the festivities Hammond High ' s famed school band struts their stuff down Calumet Ave. The neighborly city of Whiting toasts Hammond during its centennial celebration

LOVE AT FIRST BITE One hundred fifty-two volunteers donated blood at the American Red Cross blood drive. Only 125 people were able to give blood Twenty- seven other volunteers were de- ferred because of medical problems. One out of the twenty teachers who participated fainted. Besides donating blood, some students helped relieve the tension in the air by entertaining the donors. They dressed up as clowns, used hand puppets, stuffed animals, a Mr. T doll, and a Care Bear. Students also made trees and put everyone ' s name who donated blood on them. The following students helped a great deal in making the blood drive such a success: Lillian Cassilas, Sonia Dejesus, Lisa Rodriguez, Rhonda Seybold, Julie Griffith, Kathy Aubruner, Tom Crosslin, Ed Horvath, Rob Polgar, and Ron Graves. A special thanks to our school nurse, Mrs. Perz. A person saves three lives by donating one pint of blood. There is a great need for volunteer donors because of the blood shortage. Save a life by signing up for next year ' s blood drive. After giving blood Theresa Ryan pretends to faint so she will miss class. Dena Polivick takes a deep breath to prepare herself to give blood. 29
