ove is in the air, flowers are blooming, and new leaves are budding from the trees. Spring Time has finally arrived. Hammond High welcomes Spring in a variety of ways. Tryouts for athletic teams begin and then the athletes move on to major conditioning and preparing for the up-coming competitions. Clubs and organizations start recruiting and planning for the new Spring events. The Spring sports include baseball, softball, soccer, golf, boys and girls track and girls tennis. The biggest organizational event that begins with the break of Spring is B.I.O.N.I.C. ' s, which everyone waits for en- thusiastically. The turnout for this event was very impressive. Around the middle of Spring comes the event which both the teachers and students wait for frantically. This event is Spring Break which everyone fully deserves. Some of the faculty and students escape their nor- mal environment by going away while others have a good time celebrating at home. No matter where their vacations are spent, everyone relaxes and enjoys their time off. 4 Spring Division Keeping her eye on the ball, Cara Ostrovsky shows her winning form.

One hun- dred and twenty young men (or in some cases women) had to get up enough nerve to ask someone to accompany them. Tuxes had to be rented, and dresses had to be bought. The decision to take a car or limo had to be made. Flowers had to be purchased, and then of course, prom plans had to be thought out. When all this was taken care of, the couples arrived at Wicker Park Pavillion for a night of picture taking, dining, and dancing. The band Raven was accompanied by a D.J. One of the highlights of the evening was when Vanessa Swanson sang, Missing You with the band. As Ms. Draskovitch began to announce the 1985 Prom Court, the room suddenly became silent with a hopeful hush. The second runner-up was Lamber- to Cortez and Norma Enriquez. The first runner-up was a sur- prised Brian Brokaw, and Linda Nejak. And the 1985 Prom King and Queen were Tyrone Leggitt and Gwendolyne Dennis. For the next couple of hours the room was alive with fun, dancing and the traditional garter dance. The mood began to grow softer as promgoers realized it would soon be over. Couples slowly swayed to the theme song, On The Wings of Love. May 31st, 1985 was surely a night to remember. Taking pictures outside was a popular occurrence this year at prom as Julie Kosola and Annie Barney pose. Looking forward to an ex- citing evening, Darrell Richardson and Dawn Steel enter Wicker Park Pavillion. 6 Spring Prom
