Class History The four years, that seemed to be an eternity, today are a reality and only a mere flash of time. Only a short time ago we were freshmen looking with apprehension and hesitation upon the four years ahead of us. During our freshman year we sponsored a dance, sold Christmas ribbon and candy, and held a food sale and ice cream social. Mrs. Campbell was our advisor. In our Sophomore year we undertook such projects as selling bookcovers and mag- azines, sponsoring an ice cream social and a paper drive. For our big project we held a Christmas Ball. The profits were very small but we had a lot of fun. Mrs. Camp- bell was our advisor. Our Junior year marked the last half of our high school careerf. To fortify our treasury we held a dance and sold candy. Our biggest projects were the Junior Prom and the Christmas Ball. We spent many hours decorating and again our profits were small. The big moment of our Junior year was when we received our class rings. Mrs. Campbell again was our class advisor. September, 1961! Seniors! Finally we had reached the status of Seniors. There was no time to bask in the limelight, for there was work to be done. Our big project was publishing the 1962 Spotlight. We held a dance, the Christmas Ball, sold light bulbs and stationary. This year our class attempted a new money-making project. We are holding a Celebrity Auction, which promises to be very successful. Mr. Toomey was our class advisor our last year. We are impatiently awaiting for April when we leave on our Senior Trip to New York City and to Washington, D. C. So completes our history. Every class that follows will have a history of its own. To make it the very best history though, follow these few remaining words of wisdom. Be wise and patient, look to the future while in the details of the present, and keep smiling. And now, looking back on our years at Hammond Central, we must remember our teachers and advisors who have guided us through our high school careers. We hope they won't forget us, for we'll never forget them.
