Police check the bridge after all the students left. What a mess! 5. Students run off the bridge as tear gas canisters are thrown into the crowd. o n Every year after the pep rally on Thursday night, students go and paint the bridge that divides Munster and Hammond. Usually there is only about 25 to 30 students; this year, there were 300 students and alumni. The Hammond police blocked traffic so the students could paint as long as there was no trouble. Munster ' s police sent a riot squad, a number of police cars, tear gas, and fire trucks. The Gavit students were accused of starting a riot and were hosed down by firemen while policemen threw tear gas can- isters. Students left peacefully but still held a grudge against Munster. There was a contro- versy between Gavit and Munster over the bridge which made the newspapers, but now the incident is only a memory. 22 School Life — Fill
