Chinese ink-stick rubbed on a ground-glass container produces reduced blackness into graduated values by adding water. Such a rendering seemed most in accord with the photos for the process of engraving. The featured students have acquired keen interest, distinction, or leadership in the areas that the symbols sur- rounding them indicate-the Arts, the Sciences, the Spiritual. The key to the layout indentifies the studentsg the elements around them define the field in which they found opportunities to express their abilities. 1. Jay Nagdeman 2. Carol Anderson 3.

Hammond High Wins Freedoms Foundation Award In a year that saw Hammond High take athletic and scholarship honors, an announcement came from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, that appropriately topped things off. The official message read: The trustees, directors, and officers of the Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge announces with pleasure the selection of Hammond High School by the Distinguished Awards jury to receive a principal award for an outstand- ing achievement in helping to bring about a better under- standing of the American way of life in 1953.,' The Freedoms Foundation, a non-profit, non-sectarian, organization, aims at accumulating each year outstanding ex- pressions, projects, and programs which further the under- standing of Americanism. The National Awards Jury includes state Supreme Court jurors, service club executives, and offi- cials of the various veterans' organizations. Like any other worthwhile project, Hammond I-Iigh's Foundation contribution was the product of considerable hard work. In November of last year, a special committee of faculty members fMiss McGranahan, Mr. Bolt, Mr. Coleman, Miss Kennedy, Miss Waterbury, Miss Taylor, Mr. Reed, Mr. Hill, Miss Strange and Miss Schubkegelj began work on an Ameri- canism bundle. Through the year such articles as copies of the Dunes and Herald, essays, texts of speeches, art work, musical programs and photographs were added to the collection. Said Principal O. L. Rapp, The collection of data was so large that it is difficult to remember everything that went into it, but it reflected the fine character of the sudent body in general. The Freedom Library and the George Washington Medal will be presented to the school this fall. Warren Hildebrandt and Miss Frances Taylor were selected to take the Valley Forge Pilgrimage Trip. What America Means to Me By Stephen Sawochka This essay by Stephen Sawochka won first prize for boys in the American Legion Auxiliary Contest. Americag what does it mean to me? A land of justice? A land of fairness and equality? A land of freedom? Freedom, that's the word. It seems to be a synonym for America. But what does freedom mean? Maybe, if I can think of a few ex- amples, I can explain what freedom is. Maybe I had better take the word letter by letter. F, the first letter of freedom, what can it mean! It could mean freedom from fear. I know that I am always protected by the world's most capable government, which is backed by the world's bravest and most competent citizens. This is a treasure that most people do not realize the true value of, until they lose it. R could stand for freedom of religion. I always have the right to go to any church I choose without threat of punish- ment. This is probably the most important freedom guaranteed us by the Bill of Rights. E might stand for my right of entreaty or petition. I am always at liberty to appeal to a higher authority any decision which involves me. The second F. might stand for the principle of equality. I was born with the same rights as the next fellow. I shall have the same chances that he will. I can either turn out better or worse, depending on what I, myself, do. D might stand for domestic tranquility. This assurance of a peaceful, calm and unified country plays a leading role in my freedom from fear. I can let the letter O stand for my freedom of public oration. I always have the right to express an opinion about any subject, even governmental matters. This holds true as long as I do not bring harm to another by false statements. M might stand for my right to attend public meetings or assemblies. I have the right to attend any meeting, political or otherwise, whenever I please. Now that I have given a few examples, maybe I can better define freedom. But still I can't give a satisfactory definition. I don't know why. I-that's the key to a good definition. I am an individual. An individual makes freedom. I make freedom. Without the individual there can be no freedom. Therefore, freedom must be the right of an individual. America thrives on freedom. America is for the individual. The individual is what makes America great. A Promise for Tomorrow By Kit Bishop This essay won first place for girls in the essay contest spon- sored hy the American Legion Auxiliary on What America Means to Me. A Our America, this land of democracy, did not spring up overnight, in one day, in one week, or in one year. She has roots more than two thousand years old. It began on the hills of Galilee with a gentle prophet preaching to the multitudes and urging them to do unto others . . . Thus he voiced the need the people had always recognized but had been too inadequate to express. It was a dream of equality among men. This dream grew and took shape until finally, after years of struggle, it became the basis of a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. 1 Today the word America has many connotations. To the newspaper editor, it means a land in which he has the perfect right to dispute the administration's views openly, without fear of punishment. To the falsely accused, it is the preroga- tive of being innocent until proven guilty by a fair trial. To the immigrant it is one teeming, bewildering mass of friendly, gullible, hustling, bustling, laughing, crying people. To a small child, America means nothing more than par- ades, flags flying, or a mother drinking coffee hurriedly some November morning so that she can go to the polls and vote. To the storeowner it is a system of free enterprise in which competition stimulates improvement. To the farmer America may mean government price support and government aid in times of flood or drought, but it also means a farm run by himself, for himself, for his own profit. To some it is sitting in church on Sunday morning singing hymns led by a minister, while in other churches may be heard the soft incantations of a priest or rabbi. But wait, you say. What about America's mistakes? You have told only her good points. It is true. We have our crime, our graft and corruption, our racial segregation. They cannot be denied. But we also have our younger generation. They may benefit from all that has gone before. The inventions of the great scientists, the words of the great orators, the thoughts of the great philosophers, the accounts of deeds of great soldiers and statesmen-all these have been willed to them. Stop! you say once again. This heritage is not Amer- ica's alone. The rest of the world has a share in it also. Yes, but into the hands of America's youths have been deposited the highest living standards and the greatest facili- ties for advancement in the world. They have the opportunity to channel past greatness into future greatness. They have the power to perfect this dream in action that is America, to make the true meaning of democracy a reality to every American citizen. It is indeed a challenge and a promise. A promise for to- morrow! That's what America means to me! 1. The Gettysburg Address by Lincoln. Page Eleven THE CONSTITUTION TEMPLE of LIBERTY By Barbara Gabrys The Constxtutlon IS a legal document that estabhshes a successful system of government Its precnsxon and brevlty are admxrable Mllll0nS of words have been devoted to 1ts governmental prxncxples Great jurnsts have mterpreted the meamng of the COHSIIIUIIOH 1n almost all 1ts parts As a frame of government nt has stood the test cf t1me, war, and depressnon It IS based on truth, and, llke truth, lt laughs at the assaults of tm'-e Ir a nutshell, the Constxtutnon was formed for the purpose of perpetuatmg Amerxcan hberty by umtmg the States mto a f1rm Umon All other alms were subordmate to the safeguardmg of the hberty that had been won by the Revolutxon It was evmdent after the Revolutnon that Amerncan hberty would be lost unless the States banded themselves together to preserve xt Lnfe and the rlght to enjoy lxberty come from God The guarantee of the rnght to enjoy hbertv, the power to mamtarn lxberty, must come from the human heart and soul The Constltutnon IS tlus guarantee It enables the Amerxcan people to exerclse thelr power to mamtam thelr hberty aga1nst forelgn attack or mternal d1ssens1on The framers of the Const1tut1on saw the lnght of 11berty dymg m Amerxca as the States quarreled and threatened to dxsband It was a new Declaratnon of Independence whxch the CODSIIIUIIOH makers prepared for the approval of the people-a declaratxon that thelr hard won llberty should not pernsh, but should be made perpetual by jommg the hearts and souls of the people of all the States m an mdestruc table Umon These framers of the Const1tut1on were chosen by thenr States to meet together They were soldlers, planters, lawyers, physxcrans, merchants, and judges Some of them were rlch and others were poor Bemg human, these delegates had human faxlmgs They were devoted to State and local mterests Those from large States were bent upon exerclsmg the strength of large States Those from small States shrank from a Umon that mxght make them the pawns of greater States The commerclal North and the agrxcultural South had clashmg mterests All the States had been dnsappomted by the fanlure of such central government as we exerc1sed under the Artncles of Confederatnon They were susp1c1ous of any proposal for a natlonal government They were also fearful of losmg thexr hard won l1bert1es After many jarrmg sessnons, rn whxch mlsunderstandmgs, jealousles, and selfnsh sectxonal mterest bore down thelr effort to agree, the delegates were almost m despanr Fmally they found a way to make Amencan L1berty forever secure In the Constxtutnon we f1nd solace and securxty nn the next most nmportant thmg 1n lnfe-our lnberty Every word 1n the Constltutxon serves to safeguard us 1n our lxfe, lxberty, and pursu1t of happlness Every Amerncan, as he studxes the marvelous framework of the Con stltutlon, can say wxth truth and prlde Th1s was made for me ustxce IS a guardnan of lnberty my rrghts and nmmumtnes are made secure agamst tyranny Your rnght IS safeguarded aga1nst my wrong doxng your widow and your chxld are protected when you are gone People long for harmony The framers of the Constntunon saw that a central government would brmg the States mto common accord on all natnonal questxons, whale removmg other vexatxous causes of dxsagreement The very fact of equahty of States was a guarantee of domestlc tranqunllty The separated States were not strong enough to ward off forexgn aggress1on Dxvlded, they 1nv1ted mvasxon and conquest, umted they COIISIIIUICCI a nat1on capable of defendxng ntself Even nn 1ts mfancy th Umted States became a powerful nat1on through un1on of the States The CODSIICUIIOD provnded thns umty Freedom ns the hvmg mortar of America s umty It belongs to all of us, and because we are a nat1on of 1nd1v1duals, freedom has many mterpretatxons wlthm the pattern of our danly l1ves A Sunday stroll m the park can be a symbol of securxty nn a land where freedom has long been accepted In Amenca, we accept freedom of relngxon as an unallenable rnght under the proposmon that all men are created equal before God Th1s truth IS the spxr tual base of our freedom Today, throughout our 48 States, stand some 250 000 churches, representmg almost every known creed, denommatlon and faxth for freedom means a faxth for every seeker, and 1n th1s land, wherever and however rehgxous ser vices are held freedom means the rxght of every man to seek God m hrs own way Freedom means more than castmg a vote and abndmg by the wxll of the majorlty Our system of government demands of every cntlzen a deep sense of personal responsnblhty and vngllance for freedom works luke a wheel, wnth government at nts hub Between these men who guard our lnbertnes and the people they lead, there must be a constant mteractlon along the spokes of publlc opmlon The Constltutxon has helped make America a land of opportumtywhere energy, enthuslasm, and an economy of free enterprlse have converted our natural wealth mto the h1ghest standard of lxvmg on earth Behmd every pay check recelved hes a vrtal meamng of hberty the rnght of every man to choose h1s own trade No matter what h1s trade or profess1on ns, every worker has a chance to become the boss Free enterprlse IS the economlc d1v1dend of freedom In Amerlca we are free to mvent, free to try out new ldeas and new methods, free to back up the other fellow or go mto busmess on our own, free to take a chance We are encouraged to do these thmgs and through thxs encouragement we have made our country great When you are free, the human desrre for self lmprovement shows ntself To 1mprove your own lot you must do somethlng better than others do lt If you succeed, you benefnt If you do not succeed, you can

grows by ntself, and nt can do thls onlx 1n the favorable cl1mate of personal freedom Our great men were not chosen or appomted to greatness Gwen a chance, they selected themselves and forged ahead of thelr rrvals Hope of reward or fear of pumshment are the factors that motxvate human efforts Through the Constltutxon, Amenca provxdes the maxnmum opportumtxes for reward, w1th the penaltles 1xm1ted

By Stanley Kaminski Wednesday morning April 14, 1954, at 11:01 a.m., was a memorable moment in the lives of many Hammond High School students. The shiny diesel train was ready to take us to our national capital, Washington, D. C., and to that giant metropolis, New York. On the train many of us chatted, some sang, some read, and others looked at the scenery as we passed innumerable farms. It was a trying experience to sleep on the train, the road bed having been laid out purposely around curves and along rough stretches, somehow we survived the night. Washington at last! We arrived at the Union Station by 6:00 a.m. Thursday and walked to our respective hotels lo- cated only one block from the Capitol building. After we were assigned rooms, we had breakfast and took an all-day sight- seeing coach tour. We saw many of the governmental adminis- tration, executive, and judicial buildings. We saw marble and granite memorials to great men. XVe also toured in Virginia's historic towns which were near the capital. Mount Vernon was particularly awe-inspiring. Our evenings were free, many went out to see what they had failed to see during the day, some stayed in their rooms addressing post cards, and others congregated to talk and to have parties in their rooms. Many were very tired. The weather Friday was humid and we toured only a half day. We had an opportunity to see Senator Homer Cape- hart that afternoon. We left Washington that evening for New York. We felt that we would like to stay and enjoy the beauty of magnifi- cent Washington but we were on our way to another great city. That same evening we arrived in New Jersey and took the ferry across to the big city. We were driven to our hotel which was located at the center of Manhattan Island. It rained intermittently that Saturday. Our busses were glass topped and we could see quite a lot. Since our trip was merely sight seeing, and not touring, we left the bus only to see the United Nations Building, to board the boat for Bed- loe's Island and the Statue of Liberty, which we admired des- pite the torrents of rain which drenched usg to eat lunch, and to see the Empire State Building and the Church of St. John the Divine. Our evening in New York was free and many of us went to the television and stage shows on Broadway, the same street on which our hotel was located. Easter Sunday was a glorious and beautiful day. Many found churches nearby and attended services in them. Some went to the beautiful Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Most of us watched the Easter Parade. In the afternoon we took a yacht cruise around the Island of Manhattan. Throughout the trip scores of clicks could be heard wanted from the cameras of the enthusiastic tourists who souvenirs of the very enjoyable excursion to the Eastern coast. Sunday evening we left for New Jersey, via the Holland Tunnel, and headed for Indiana. Everyone was slightly fati- gued from continuous action of the day, and sleep was no problem. Monday morning brought thoughts of the homework which had to be made up, the daily grind of school work, the realization of the rare opportunity that we'd had in taking the trip, and the pleasure that we had gained from it. It must have taken the next few weeks to recover from the journey, but I have heard of no one who regretted spend- ing the reasonable price for the trip or taking the time to see such really memorable places in our great country. Pictures by Stanley Boleski There is a Destiny . . . . By Warren Hildebrandt It must be true that every student in America is taught that our government was formed by ambitious, educated and courageous men. These men performed as soldiers, diplomats, explorers, and politicians. But it seems to me that in all cases it was not the great- ness of men that made America what it is today, but rather, it was what could be described as luck, of fate, or the wish of God. I believe all of us agree that it was the spirit and courage of the Americans that helped them win the Revolutionary War. But doesn't it seem more than coincidence that New York didn't fall to the British because Lord Germain went grouse hunting and forgot to send to the British officer, General Howe, the instructions for the invasion of New York in 1777? 1 It also seems strange, since the continental currency was worthless, and the soldiers were in rags, that General Wash- ington defeated General Cornwallis and his army at Yorktown, in one last effort to win the war. Certainly, under the prevail- ing conditions, the Americans could hardly have been able to fight another battle. It must have been the help of God that aided General Washington in winning the Revolutionary War against extremely difficult odds. But our luck went further than just the Revolution. It stayed with the American people through many decisions, es- pecially in the federal government. What was it that caused America to elect a president rather than to have a king? What kept the men from becoming dictators, once in office? Was it Congress and the Constitu- tion? If so, what brought them into existence? The answer to this question may be public-minded men. But weren't those men just following the word of God? Of course! And if men love thy neighbor, it is possible for all people to find peace and prosperity. It is the chance to do as one pleases, within reason, and the chance to be helped by others or to help others, that has come to mean America to me. 1.

DANCER S LANGUAGE By Dorothy Soja Danc1ng has been my amb1t1on and ndeal for a number of years I want to be a dancer because dancers are a group of the most pralse worthy people 1n the world In thrs professlon drffrcultxes found rn no other lme of work, are met wxth and overcome wnth such ease and a spmt worthy of much applause Mastery of techmque whnch a dancer possesses as a result of hard work gnves her a feelmg of self satlsfactlon Youth and beauty of body are unessentral to a dancer Rather one should possess grace 1nd poxse and the personalxty of the art Physlcal endurance and patrence are also factors requxred Although the dancer should have a cultural background a college educatmon IS not necessary unless one desnres to teach the aft Dance trammg begms early m hfe whlle the body IS flexxble and can be easxly bent In a good begmners ballet school one learns the prmcnples of dancmg after whlch a more advanced trammg should be secured at the excellent schools of dancmg m larger cntres Durmg trammg a dancer s motto ns to practrce constantly The schedule of the career woman drffers from that of an ordmary offrce worker Offrce jobs necessntate mental and physxcal labor, though mental labor IS more prevalent whlle dancmg consnsts prmcnpally of physxcal labor The dancer s dally routme consrsts of hours of practnce Early rnsmg gettmg proper sleep and good meals go hand m hand rn makmg the dancer Advancement ns based on the type of dance major one ns In the lme of choru and other professxonal dancmg the freld has become frlled to nts fullest capacrty and offers httle reward for the average dancer because of long and expensrve trammg and the fxckleness of publrc taste In Cl3SSlC3l ballet there ns room for dvancement lf one can complete the requirements ne ded After seven years of trammg the student becomes a member of a troupe where she can dance small parts Then she can rxse to become a Second Dancer Followmg that she becomes a Premrere Danseuse The next step ns one of honor and IS well along the way to success She becomes a Prxma Ballerma and a greater honor to be bestowed upon her IS Assoluta Few have reached thls goal but to est ease usmg the least strength The greatest drawback of bemg a dancer fmally acknowledged as the better dancer Not Every xear the dancer recenves a vacauon merely means the absence of engagements for vuth so much physlcal stram a breakdown c n Salary for a student rn trammg 1n a company ranges from thlrty and sometlmes reaches a thousand dollars weekly IS the shortness of the career After puttmg the bes years of one s hfe mto practnce one IS long after someone else of two or three weeks a whlle Thrs vacatlon be easlly suffered the trtle of Ballerma The greatest honor ever to be grven to anyone ns that of Ballerma the ones that have lt means complete mastery and co ordmatlon of the body wrth the great takes her place but she stall contmues her danly exercnses A vacatxon to a dancer and other socnal lnfe rs nmportan and cannot be left out because to flfty dollars weekly but nncreases as she does 1n fame and talent The art of dancmg ns a beautxful one It rs a means of expresslon vwhnch expresses moods better than vsords But the capabnhty of thus muscle and nerve control requlres ome vsork Even though I may newer become the kmd of dancer I dream of I wlll work hard and just the self satrsfactlon of dancmg and

experrence Theory on a subject can only be grven rn college Dad has the same general appearrnce as mo t mrddle aged men He has a baldrng forehead a growrng expanse around the warst and a few gray harrs at the temples After a hard day crrcles appear beneath hrs eyes and a frown encompasses hrs brow Dad rs prrmarrly a famrly man He enjoys an evenrng out but he gets just as much pleasure out of relaxrng at home Dad enjoys home cookrng a great deal but he often relreves Mom of her krtchen chores wrth a dmner and show rn Chrcago People have told me that upon meetrng Dad they are struck wrth hrs neatness hrs wrllrngness to undertake a task and the uthorrty wrth whrch he speaks about hrs job Dad enjoys workmg around the home Hrs abrlrty at car pentry was shown when he burlt my room onto our present home Dad used to be an archrtect and strll draws a lrttle rn hrs spare trme Wrth all hrs background people wonder why Dad strll appears to be searchrng for somethmg I thmk that lack of the opportunrty to go to college explarns a lot The one goal that Dad has never reached rs a college degree It alone has eluded hrm True hes not a mrllronarre but who rs' Dad can earn a comfortable lrvrng for hrs famrly He provrdes us wrth all the necessrtres and many of the comforts of lrfe The only desrre my father has left rs the chance to go to a unrversrty Dad has never trred to make rt seem that a college sheep skrn would smooth all the bumps He marntarns that everyone should grve of hrs best at all trmes Dad only argues that a degree supports hard work makmg advancement come qurcker Part of Dads educatronal rnterest stems from the fact that he has done a great deal of offrcratmg rn athletrc con tests He became acquarnted wrth many men rn the educa tronal rnstrtutrons rn Ohro and Indrana He realrzed that these people ould help hrs son Upon realrzrng that I would soon be ready for college Dad became actrvt as an athletrc scout for a promrnent mrd western unrversrty Hrs many frrends rn the athletrc depart ment have repard Dad by ardrng my entrance to thrs unrver srt I know that the one goal that my Dad farled to reach rn hrs lrfetrme wrll become real for hrm when I recerye my college degree I haye no doubt that Ill make rt Im not sure of the freld but Ill make rt Dads too wonderful a person to let down My father may not be the most hrghly educated man rn the world but hrs respect for educatron gots deeper than that of any body I haye eyer known Page T enty srx By Karen Schuler ueen our dog had just krlled a long fat strrped garter snake I rnched away as she shook rt agarn to make sure rt was dead As I looked at the snake from that drstance Paul rushed forward prcked up the dead body and ran towards me as he held ch snake rn front of hrm Som how I beat hrm rnto the house and managed to lock the door before he threw the snake at me That rnc dent took place ten years ago In these ten years I have watched Paul change from that prankrsh chrld to the young man he now rs At the age of eleven Paul played many trrcks on hrs frrends lrke chasmg people wrth snakes Berng of a currous nature one day I asked Johnny hrs close buddy why he per srsted rn playrng wrth Paul johnnys reply was srmple Oh hes a lot of fun Well I asked hrm rf he drdn t get sore at Paul for play rng all those trrcks Very serrously ohnny retorted Those trrcks never hurt anyone Paul wouldn t do that Besrdes rts fun to watch hrm thmk up all that stuff I wrsh I were that clever Shocked as I was to hear all of that thought come from johnny I trred very aard to see rt the way ohnny saw rt Its true that Paul got some hearty laughter from hrs frrends That must have been why ohnny thought that he was fun It rs also true that Paul never rntentronally hurt anyone Oh he caused a few brursed elbows and knees on some frrends when he would run hrs brcycle rnto therrs accrdentally but he be came very srlent for perhaps two hours after the rncrdent He would stare rnto space and not even the farntest srgn of emotron would appear rf somethmg unusual happened Once he told me that he used to thrnk about the many ways rn whrch he could have prevented the accrdent He sard that he would see the scene over and over agarn rn hrs mmd durrng these srlences Now Paul rs twenty one years old Instead of lookmg lrke looks well proportroned for hrs age as hrs mother has sard Hrs characterrstrc brtten down frngernarls wrth no moons on them and hrs large shrny forehead are strll a part of hrm Neatness has also stayed these ten years the only change berng that now he keeps hrs shoes mstead of hrs brcycle polrshed and hrs face mstead of hrs dog clean He has lost all the prankrshness that was eyer rn hrm He strll enjoys good laughs and at trmes good trrcks but the trrcks that he pulls make the recerver of the trrck laugh also Paul also laughs heartrly usrng the same thrustrng out of hands that he used to use to show hrs joy He has not lost any of hrs cleyerness whrch used to be used rn playrng trrcks He now uses cleverness when puttrng words together and for thrs reason he can be just about any type of lrkable or drs lrkable person dependrng upon the srtu atron The srtuatron though docs not alter some of hrs old habrts as perhaps rt should Hrs legs and feet are sprawled out when ever possrble He forgets about respec able table manners some trmes and when he does remember the redness slowly creeps way up to hrs forehead He rs not bothered by these trry ral matters as he puts rt He once sard As long as Im happy and am not hurtrng anyone else rn berng so I am contented

The ragged old man saw no humor enther and pand no attentnon to us as he nonchalantly walked away wrth hns new possessnon the dead flowers nm acted qunckly and cleverly to cover up and to regann t e

By Merrnll Hubbell The day was cool for the usual end of July weather but Dave felt hot and stncky as he bent over the staggernng pnle of papers and books that covered hns desk In spnte of the long sunny days of the summer Daves usually golden brown sknn was stnll wmter pale Thns summer hns unruly sandy colored hanr had not been bleached almost Whlte by the sun Hns fingers strong and smooth had not grown rough and calloused from the customary summer chores and actnvntnes The muscles of hns shoulders and arms dndn t have the achnng but satnsfynng feelnng that comes from harvestnng the summer s crop or row nng across the lake to meet some frnends and see a movle nn th tnny county town Dave mnssed the long busy summer days spent on hns grandmother and grandfathers farm For all the summers he could remember he had left hns own home nn the steamnng cnty to stay nn the comfortable nnformalnty of the farm Dave seemed perfectly surtcd to the lnfe of a hard worknng farmer Ever snnce he had spent the fnrst vacatnons on the farm every one had thought that someday he would carry on after hns grandfather As he grew older Dave came to look more and more lnke hns grandfather Now at nnneteen he stood snx feet two nnches and he had already acqunred the slnght stoop of a man who had worked long hours at back breaklng jobs Work nng nn the fnelds under the blaznng sun had made crnnkles at the corners of hns eyes where he had squnnted to protect them from the glare For snx years Dave had worn large horn rnmmed glasses that gave hnm a scholarly appearance whnch seemed out of place wnth hns athletnc bunld He had acqunred the habnt of looknng qunzzncally over the top of hns glasses when anyone was trynng to dnscuss a sernous matter wnth hnm Dave could never resnst pullnng d vnlnsh trncks often and when people least expected them An excellent barometer of hns devnlnshness was the expressnon of hns mouth and eyes Hns mouth had a way of grnnnnng at only one corner gnvnng hnm a decenvnngly nnnocent look But hns eyes betrayed the real lack of nnnocence They sparked and shone nn the delnghted antncnpatnon of some devnlment whnle hns mouth turned up nn that lopsnded grnn at the snght of hns handnwork But Dave was not all fun and knddnng That summer he surprnsed everyone by announcnng that he was gomg to study to be a doctor He gave up hns summer vacatnon nn the coun try to stay rn the cnty and begnn hns studynng Although hn famnly had been a lnttle surprnsed and dnsapponnted at fnrst thev soon were proud of the snncernty wnth whnch Dave attacked hns new goal The ummer

ladies and girls were shoving and elbowmg their way to the table Visualize several girls trying to fill their punch glasses at once Imagine the mess and confusion which would result At Hammond High we learn how to get along with other people We learn how to conduct ourselves at an occasion such as the one in the picture above Basic rules of etiquette are taught to us in classes Opportunity is given us to practice and exercise what we have learned at teas banquets and formal dances Etiquette which can either open the door of success or violently slam it in our face IS a daily thing It is not some th1ng which 15 to be placed in the top dresser drawer to be item for all occasions Election Day at Hammond Hugh By Dan Barrett Th sun was brightly shining The a1r was warm and humid It was a balmy beaut1ful spring day The blrds were chirpmg and whistlmg Spring had come to Hammond While spring had come to Hammond election day had come to Hammond High It was the day of the primary All of the whistling was not done by the blrds Many of the candidates went about whistling and hummmg gay little tunes Many candidates faces were beaming as brightly as the sun Each felt that he was the candidate that was gomg to be nominated for the finals At two oclock the sky grew blacker The clouds began to pile up The sun was blotted out The birds headed for their nests There was an ominous feeling in tht air The sky con tlnued to darken Meanwhll the candidates gay smiles turned to looks of grave concern The worries began to pile up Now was the crucial hour By tht end of school the sky was black It began to hghten and thunder Then the sky hurled down buckets of water The beautlful shining day was gone and m its place had come an ugly dark thunderstorm Inside during the twenty minutes after school the candidates anxiously awaited the moment the officials would annouce results The smiling happy faces were gone The cheerful hummmg had ceased Silence and fear had taken their place Then as the results were read the thunderstorm ended Some spots of the sky once agam emerged a beautiful blue Other spots remained however black and forgotten until the next morning So also was the case in school Six of twenty two hopefuls became the shnnmg whistling students that they had been before school The other sixteen vsent out disappointed and forgotten until the next morning Page

Q - V ' , e ' . i . 3 By Babs Seely I was born in a coal truck garage during a dreadful thunderstorm which meant death would walk among us Later in that week I was to discover that I had four brothers and three sisters All of us were well bred but weak English setters During my second we k of life I saw men come and take away my cold and stiff brothers and sisters while Mom watched with soft forlorn eyes You Could tell how helpless she fclt Bv the end of the week onlv two of us were left ack and I he watched the rest of us leave I felt sorry for her for she had no one now but there was nothing I could do jack and I were taken to a place in the country where. we were hand fed until we were old enough to eat solid food Here we liyed for three months and were probably happier than most people The two children of the family played with us and took care of us until on the last oay of the third month when Jack left I don t know where he went but I do know that I was so lonely for him that I cried every right for a week During the day I was always with the oldei of the two boys Sam We went for long walks and I chased butterflies as Sam car ned his BB gun to shoot any bird I might kick up Id say it was about two or three weeks after Jack left that I received another kennel mate Her name was joan She was about the smartest and most beautiful pointer you would ever want to set eyes on Freddy the youngest son was he owner but I was Sam s dog and a closer relationship between a boy and his dog could never be found I had grown fast from the time I had arrived until I was five months old but in the next few months I grew faster than you can imagine My feathers were no longer fluff but long silky soft hairs of white I was small for a setter but Sam didnt care because he loyed me so he couldnt see straight But much to my surprise this didn t count when it came to my obedience training which IS 1 preliminary in the training of 1 good bird dog He made me mind whether I wanted to or not so I learned quickly Page Thirty four Sam was only seventeen when he completed my field train- ing and entered me in my first trial. I came in almost last in poin s but the judges said that I had a good future At every trial I got better until I got my first winners trophy I thought Sam bould burst that day he was so proud When Sam was twenty he neglected me for quite a while I couldn t figure out why until he got married Sue his wife hated me because on her wedding day I had my third littcr of pups So they didn t haye a honeymoon Sam stood up for me saying that it wasnt my fault but she claimed that I could have waited a few days more at least They had been married about sey en years when Sue was killed in an accident that crippled Sam Sam was all alone now for they didn t haye any children This 15 where I come back into the story because I was his life now and we went back to the trials It was wonderful to see my own children and Sams other dogs take almost all the honors You know now that Sam and I are old and stiff it feels good to be in the trophy room to look at all my familys prizes and to remember all the important things that hap pened during the ime we haye liyed and will liye Bugs By Bob Velocl-.

I x Sixteen The Virginian By Roy Young I don t know when I first began to really notice Bettv We grew up in the same neighborhood and she was just one of the gang On her sixteenth birthday Bettys mother gave a surpris party for her and invited all the old gang It seemed funny that I had never noticed how attractive she was Her hair hung long and silken over her shoulders and her dress was made from some frilly kind of material that matched the color of her cyes That s another funny thing for as long as I had known Betty I had never noticed that her eyes were blue I guess some of the other fellows felt the same way I did for I noticed they kept glancing at her all evening It s strange what a year can do to a person A year be fore she had been just a plain ordinary girl sporting a beat up pair of shoes and a pair of baggy blue jeans She was the best third baseman in the neighborhood and could knock out as many street lights with a bee bee gun as any boy Now she seemed so much d tferent so grown up so sophisticated When the party was over and I got home I took a long look in the mirror I was certain I saw hair growing on my chu I wasn t such a bad looking guy either a least I thought so I kept thinking of Betty and how different she had seemed The next morning when I got ready for school I took extra care in dressing and combmg my hair I met Betty in front of her house and we started walking slowly toward school She wasn t like she used to be trying to race me or throwing snowballs We didn t say much to one another and I had a strong feeling that from then on she was going to be my girl After all she was grown she was sixteen The Boy I Tried To Impress By Diane Cook Many years ago when I was in eighth grade he moved in just two houses away He was a god an idol my Apollo and in high school too Through research I learned that he had a Past He had run away from home in California and now lived with his uncle His name was so perfect it sounded f1Ct1Il0l13 It belonged to a count or a lord at school and gradually he became aware of me through the younger boys with whom he sometimes played baseball My agents reported to him that I was in hot pursuit and it was probably from curiosity that he didn t flee when we finally had the opportunity to speak On that glorious evening I heard the music of a lawn mower and through the window I spied HIM dutifully cutting the grass Quickly removing the glasses from my eyes and the braces from mv teeth I sauntered glamorously outdoors The conversation was brief and mane but lt was commumcatlon Every day I took up a post at our window and peered through the venetian blind slats waiting for a glimpse of him It lasted only a few valuable seconds but it was worthwhile to see him come swinging around eight posts and jumping for leaves of trees He was wonderful' Ill never forget the time I had casually posed myself in an obvious spot on our front steps in case he showed up When he finally did appear I mtended to rise smartly turn with a flourish and walk up the steps This didnt happen Unfor tunately I stepped on the hem of my skirt lost my balance and rolled to the bottom of the stairs before his startled eyes My dignity was badly lnjured Long after he had left I read the inevitable announcement in the newspaper I had been forsaken Another woman had moved in and my sw am was now married But I happily noted her middle name It was the same as ms name and I could haunt him forever' Author-Owen Wister By Anne Kut k The Vlrglnmn is a fictional story of the old West It vividly portrays life in Wyoming between 1874 and 1890 Yet it tells a even more mportant story-one of Amen can democracy The Virginian he is known by no other name-brings law and order and upholds the rights of the people in his other man in the territory but he uses it only when there gentle Southern way He is quicker with a gun than any IS no alternative Trampas is the villain of the story He cheats at cards insults ladies and rustles cattle The Virginian tries to curb Trampas actions by de nouncmg him in public when he cheats or insults ladies But cattle rustling cant be handled that way The climax to his troubles with Trampas comes when Trampas orders him out of town by sunset A gun battle follows in which Trampas is kllled The tall black haired Southerner has a romantic side to his nature also He falls in love with an Eastern school teacher but doesnt win his lady until the end The Virginian is a symbol of democracy to the people of Wyommg He is looked upon as a just and kind person who will keep the American way of life ahve As a character he reminds me of Shane or the hero of Hzgb Noon who had ideals that were similar F Iowerglrl By Sherry Matthews The wedding was to start in fifteen mmutes I was a small but important part in it the flowergirl I stood un noticed at the back of the church waiting to go down the aisle and looking the situation over I began to think of the future I kept thinking dreammg I began to hear the music playing softly and I was coming down the aisle with my father at my side I was dressed in white satin and lace my father in a black tuxedo I walked on a whlte satin carpet which reached to the beautiful altar Reaching to the ceiling it was a rich ivory color with small statues in little nooks set in it The organ with its massive collection of pipes was in front of the altar and to the left On the right was a huge lifelikt marble statue of Christ The stamed glass windows por trayed the lfe of Christ and the sun was streaming through the one showing his birth The chandeliers sparkled like stars or devs drops suspended from the ceiling I was reaching the altar nov and I joined my fiance We faced the altar wait ing to be united in marriage but then I heard someone say start now I turned quickly around and saw it was my mother I was rather startled and I realized that this wasnt my wedding but mx aunt s and I onlx a flowergirl not a

It encourages school students to create drawing and paintings that reflect their lives and interests and enables them to send their work to youth of other lands through national Red Cross societies, and to receive similar work in return. The main purposes of the program are to promote mutual interest and understanding and to encourage the use of art as a means of transmitting experience. To contribute to the purpose of the program the pictures should be spontaneous portrayals of American life -honest, lively, original in approach, interesting in subject matter, and adequate in expression. A label on each picture tells something about the picture, and bears the name of the artist, his age, school and town. The two pictures chosen for the Dunes were the outstanding ones contributed by Hammond High art students. Irene Discher has this to say about her painting of The Cirrus. I chose to paint Tbz' Cirrus because it is a form of amusement well known in many parts of the world. Under the big top we see the familiar happy crowds of young and old. Excitement is at a high pitch from all the activities of the sawdust ring. There is the tight-rope performerg the funny man, on tall stilts, towering above the crowdsg the ever-present grimacing clown with enticing, colorful shiny balloons-all as typical of circus life as hot-dogs and cokes are of American life. In painting The Ballrf Christy Carleton wants to convey one of the cultural pursuits of our life. She writes: Many teenagers, as well as grownups, enjoy an evening with Ballet in the opera house. The Ballet expresses in graceful motion what a language conveys in descriptive words. Ballets presented in America are often from many different countries. Through them the American people have found a better concept and appreciation of the art and culture of people all over the world.

The laundry was done in the kitchen, as was nearly everything else Gramma felt very proud of her Dolly type washer The Dolly was a hand run gadget that was really just a washtub wrth a strck extendrng from rt with whrch to poke the clothes however, not every family had one Kerosene lamps were used throughout the home Water was heated on the little pot bellred stove for everything from cookmg to bathmg When Grammas ironing day came up, she got out her sad iron and heated rt on top of the stove You can imagrne the time rt took to do just one weeks iron rn With the day s work frnrshed, Gramma decided to rest a brt By restrng, I meant Gramma would open up the gramma phone and choose one of the newer cylmder records to play Of course, she would darn Grampas socks as she waited for hrm to come home With an electric washer and drier a week s laundry rs done in a few hours The carpet rs swept clean in frve mmutes My Sunbeam rron and mrxmaster cut rronrng and bakmg hours rn half I can keep food fresh for weeks rn my automatic re frrgerator The radio, phonograph, and television provide ex cellent entertainment for all members of the family Yes, wonderful progress can be seen rn Amerrca s number one vocation, housekeeping Though Gramma appeared to be a frarl, weak and helpless woman, she strll managed to keep house wrth none of today s conveniences Certainly the home maker of today has no rrght to complam Yet, rf she didnt and rf Gramma hadn t, Im afraid we would strll be rn Grand mas shoes fifty years from now Land of Opportunrty By Bob Flournoy Amerrca means a lot of things to me It means a land of opportunrty where everyone has an equal chance A person rn the Unrted States has every opportunrty to obtain at least a hrgh school education If he rs ambrtrous enough he can work hrs way through college Ewen rf a person has to work during the day he can attend nrght schools so that he can obtam an education while he rs working There are many opportunities to advance rn business If a person has rnrtratrve, skull, and self confidence, there rs no lrmrt as to how far he can go It rsn L always the person wrth the mherrted wealth or positron that is on top A great num ber of the men and women who are wealthy today are self made In Amerrca rt doesn t matter at what level a person starts out, he has just as good a chance to succeed as hrs neighbor Amerrca means a land of freedom It means a land ot freedom from fear where a person doesn t have to worry about being taken from hrs home rn the middle of the night and never seemg hrs family again, or starving because he drdnt produce hrs quota at the factory Amerrca means a land of freedom of speech where he can say what he thmks without fear of reprisal It means a land where a person can tell everyone that he doesn t like the way the present admmrstratron rs running the government and strll keep hrs job Amerrca means a land of relrgrous freedom It means a land where a person can worship God in hrs own Way with out interference from anyone just as a person rs not forced to worship God rn a certarn way, nobody forces hrm to worshrp God at all Whatever he chooses to do rs a matter for hrs own conscrence Freedom and opportunrty these two words symbolize what Amerrca means to me An American s Right of Government By Sheryl Woody We hold these truths to be self evrdent When those words were written rn 1776, the world laughed HOW could a nation founded on such prrncrples hope to survive? Today the world no longer laughs for even though the Unrted States has been rn existence less than two centuries, the prrncrples upon whrch rt was founded have made rt one of the greatest natrons on earth If the Amerrcan colonres had never declared therr in dependence, the Unrted States of today would not exrst It rs for thrs reason that the Declaration of Independence rs srgnrfr cant of what Amerrca means to me We hold these truths to be self evrdent That all men are created equal all men not only those with whrte skrns, but also those wrth black, brown, red, and yellow skrns Thrs has probaby been the most difficult prrncrple for Amerrcans to follow Because of the fact that rt was not forbidden rn the Constrtutron, slavery existed rn thrs country until it was ter passed srnce that war, there are strll a few people who persist rn the belief that some Amerrcans are not socrally equal to others However, srnce many young people of today are grow mg up rn close contact with these mferrors, that feeling is raprdly disappearing, and I hope that wrthrn a few decades rt will be a matter of history That they are endowed by therr Creator wrth certarn unalrenable rrghts, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness It matters not what race or relrgron a man belongs, for all citizens of thrs country have equal clarm to these rrghts Here, the only drstrnctron rs due to the amount of abrlrty and ambrtron possessed by each rndrvrdual Thrs is especially true today rn this perrod of national defense Em ployers may not ask What church do you attend? but rather, Can you do the job? The mrlrtary servrces may not inquire of therr personnel, Are you a Democrat or a Republr can? ' but, Are you able to do your part? That whenever any form of government becomes de structrve of these ends it rs the rrght of the people to alter or abolrsh rt and to institute new government The rrght to alter the government rs the most valuable possessron of the American crtrzen Our forefathers gave us a precious heritage, the prrvrlege of a free vote By exercrsrng thrs prrvrlege, whrch rs actually more abused than any other, we have made our government what rt 18 today, a servant of the people, respon sible for rts actions to those whom it governs Because no one can deprive us of the prrvrlege, we have no need to employ the terrible violence whrch seems to be necessary prior to changes of administration rn certarn other countries Amerrca rs IIS people Iam proud to be a part of t Equalrts, liberty, the rrght of self government these are the things that Am rica means to me Page Fifty one . . . . . s. . , . . . .

V f - ' V ' ' - 3 Sweet Land of Liberty With My Eyes On The Flag By Richard Kaye What does a teen ager think of America? What oppor tun1t1es and freedoms do we enjoy here in America? Does pr1vate industry prosper here? How prosp rous IS lt, How do we compare with other countries? To these questions I shall attempt to find an answer To a teen ager the most noticeable features in America are the opportunities I can read the books and publications I select, go to the school of my choice, and attend my own church Here at school I can wear clothes I like, join clubs and participate in other act1v1t1es My education provides me Wlth a training for the vocation I choose I can obtain all the tra1n1ng I need if I take the opportunity My education also prepares me for a personal life by giving me the experience and guidance needed I am provided with all the recreation that IS necessary The city prov1des parks the schools offer act1v1t1es, soc1al vents, and athletic matches, and other organizations present 1 variety of interests I think America has the finest youth 1n the world In our society I can always advance to a higher grade, no matter where I start If I start out as a humble Workman, I can advance by mer1t to an executive position with much re sponsibility No matter who I am, where I started and what I earned I can be tops 1n a field 1f I work hard enough at it If I want to be something, all I have to do IS to take the opportunities my country offers me 1n higher education, and with enough work I will succeed I am free to speak or write anything I wish or believe 1f I dont slander I cant be jailed w1thout a trial because the Bill of Rights guarantees legal trial I may choose any religious I please Last I may pet1t1on my government For that matter, I can do anythmg I fancy as long as lt falls within the limits of the law In our countr r1vate bus1ness 15 encoura ed and IS the Y P g most ros erous in the world There are man 0 ortun1t1es P Y PP for prlvate enterpr1se in newly discovered fields, where a man from any walk of life has a chance to succeed without anv governmental interference If we compare America to a soc1al1st1c country, we see how super1or America 15 In 1 soc1al1st1c country there 1S very little private business the government owns all key indus tr1es the mines, steel mills, refineries, and the transportation and communication systems Comparing America vuth commun1st1c countries, we agam see the United States superior In commun1sm the govern ment owns everything The private c1t1zen owns no property and works for the government Only a small number control the government, therefore a small number control the whole country In a dictatorship one man controls a whole nation There is no freedom, and the people are in constant fear, for a dic tator usually rules through his army Smce he IS afraid of re volts, there is no law and a person 15 executed for a political crime Our country IS ruled by a representative government All the people take part in their government, and thus the govern ment IS the voice of the people The majority rules The pn vate c1t1zens ovun the large industries and the government owns little in comparison, except in time of danger Our country has more opportunities, better education, more freedom, and more private mdustry than do other coun tries Amer1ca IS the best country 1n the world Page Fifty two By Terry Ingram One of the best known documents 1n our country IS the B1ll of Rights This bill, which sets forth some of our most treasured privileges, has as many view po1nts as there are people to write about it Now, let s take a student s eye VIEW of these privileges in some of their everyday applications Our first stu dent IS in the United States, while the second IS 1n a typical op pressed country Our day starts with jims clock radio softly play1ng a tune He gets out of bed goes into the bathroom, and returns to his room refreshed after a cold shower Dressed in warm, good lookmg clothes, he goes downstairs to eat a hearty break fast of ham and eggs After eating, 1m enters the living room to watch television until time to leave for school In school, a large, well heated, well lighted building, he associates with h1s fr1ends until time to go to classes Classes are taught by well educated, experienced men and women The teachers teach only the1r chosen subjects Open discussions are often held and there IS usually a comfortable, relaxed a1r about the room Sports make up a great part of the school act1v1t1es Dances and parties are sponsored by clubs and the students mingle freely, since a person may choose h1s own fr1ends Lunch cons1sts of wholesome food served 1n the school cafeteria S1nce there are no social bans against anyone because of h1s race, creed, or color, a student IS free to s1t where he chooses After school Jim goes to a meeting with some of h1s friends who are planning to have a party The meeting IS soon over and 1m goes to work 1n a small grocery store The head 1nes on the papers at the corner state that a high official has been cr1t1c1zed by an average c1t1zen in a public meeting A The cars going past the store carry license plates from many states Walking home, Jlm notices that almost every house has a TV aerial and a car s1tt1ng out in front The day of our foreign student IS much different It be gms when Anthony gets up, dresses in drab clothes, and goes downstairs to eat a breakfast of bread and mush He, too, goes to school, but lt 15 not the same The teachers are very str1ct, being well versed in disciplinary measures Political issues are discussed in class, but lf IS not much of a discussion since the teacher does most of the talking She or he forms op1n1ons of right and wrong s1des of each ISSUC and 1mposes these upon the pupils The rooms are bare of decorat1on except for a flag of the rul1ng power and a pncture of the leader of that country Lunch is small and hurr1cdly disposed of in order to continue the discussions There are no meetings of any kind unless there IS a SPCCIHI permit and the meeting IS attended by a member of an organi zation alhed with the rulers Since the State controls every th1ng there are no after school jobs to be had Very few people own cars because of the high 1n1t1al cost and the cost of gasoline and upkeep Papers say only what the government wants them to say To cr1t1c1ze an off1c1al or to pet1t1on the government IS an unheard of practice To do so would mean l1qu1dat1on In our country, every minute of every day one of the principles set forth 1n the Bill of Rights IS put 1nto use We cannot 1mag1ne what life would be like in this great country of ours, if a foreign power were to take over We, who 'were born free, have no 1dea what lt is like to be told where we can t go, what we can t do or say, or any of the other re strictions placed upon an oppressed people God willing, we shall never know the feeling Under our Const1tut1on in this great land of ours, we have, in the short space of 178 years, built one nation 1nd1v1s1ble,

FRIDAY EVENING By Lois McLeod It's Friday night, six o'clock. The stars are just beginning to come out in a beautiful array. The ice, though slippery, looks like great ponds of silver beckoning to you. The automobile horns play a happy tune as you're on your way to a game, a basketball game. The auto- mobile lights are paving your way as you go. When you get there, you notice the friendly jostling of the crowd. See the happy faces around you, and how they seem to welcome you? Finally you and your friends find seats. 'What a place to sit! You can see all parts of the floor, and you will be able to see all the plays. They're playing the National Anthem. See the people stand up and proudly sing? That's right, sing your heart out. Everyone around is trying to be a Mario Lanza or a Lili Pons. Now the game has started. When the ball is tossed up it looks like a balloon filled with helium. The centers look as if they have springs attached to their feet and they were suddenly let go. We've got the ball. Look at that boy dribble! Have you ever seen a more precise team? Yell, yell your lungs out! Tomorrow's Saturday. They're tossing the ball back and forth bringing it closer to the basket. They look as if they're playing hot potato. That's it, that's the way to play. They're hanging on to the ball as if they have glue on their hands. We've done it, we've got a basket. Shout, yell, sing, anything -only make a racket and lots of it. The other team has the ball. They're going down the floor like herd of thundering horses with fire in their eyes. Oh! What a basket! A one hander! Even though it's for the other team, you have to admit it was good. So goes the score, back and forth, back and forth. Here we come down the floor. Look, he's dribbling again. He's doing very hard and intricate tricks while he's dribbling, and he's doing them quite well. Wait! Whatls this? Oh no, the other team's stolen the ball. Why did he have to be such a show-off and dribble so fancily? He's a show-off and not a team worker at all. That's it, be fancy, lose the ball, see if I care, all we can do is lose. Well, quick-get somebody under the basket. What's wrong with our team? They're falling all apart. No team spirit. What? Oh no! Can't our team play basketball? The basket for the other counts and he was fouled in the act of shooting. Now everyone just sits there like bumps on a log. What's wrong with them? Now's the time to yell. Finally our team's out ahead. Naturally, our team just clicks together. Have you ever seen a bunch of boys working together better? Now the kids are yelling. When we,re ahead, they decide to yell. We've won! We've won! Stand up and proudly sing your school song. You and your girl friend go outside till the place is cleared, and then you can return and go to the Soc-Hop. How nice it is outside, not too cold, just right. Look! Look coming down the walk. It's he. He's going to the Soc-Hop. Finally the chaperones have opened the doors, and the kids rush in as if there were a big sale in one of the department stores. just think how wonderful the Soc-Hop is! It's just like running around in your bare feet, something which your mother won't let you do at home. After you have put your coat up and have taken your shoes off, you decide to walk around the floor with your girlfriends. Notice how beautiful the music is? Have you ever heard anything more dreamy? There he is! Wonder what he's doing? Oh, he talking to a group of boys about the basketball game. Is it possible? It's eleven fifteen. The dance ends at eleven thirty. It just doesn't seem possible. Now I really believe in the expression tempus fugit. Hmm, wonder where he is? Haven,t seen him for quite a while. Why there he is, he's talking to a girl. A girl? Who is it? What is it? You say to yourself, Oh well, I don't care. I'm not going to pay any attention. It doesn't bother me. I wonder what he's saying? No it's not going to bother you. Boy, doesn't this walking around in your stocking feet seem dumb? If your Mother doesn't want you to do it at home, why should you do it in public? That music is terrible. It's too loud, for one thing, how can anyone dance to it? Time to go home. Well, it's about time. It seemed as if the dance would never end. Boy, is the crowd noisy, practically shouting in your ears. What are they pushing for, they've got all night. Finally you get outside. It seems terribly cold. You should have stayed at home and watched Howard Miller. Listen to those horrible horns just blaring in your ears. Why don't people put ashes on this ice? You could fall and break your leg on this stuff. The cars lights blind you. You can't see where you're going. Look at those stars, scattered as if some- one just tossed them up into the sky. You promised one of your friends you would wait for her till her bus came. Why you ever did it you'll never know. What's this? A car is stopping. Probably another bunch of wise-acres. Who is it? Why, it's he. He asks you if you want a ride. Naturally you can't accept. You live only two houses away. You thank him though, and as he drives away, you notice what a beautiful night it really is. The stars are beautiful. The horns are playing a happy melody matching the quick beat of your heart. What's this? Somebody has thrown ashes on the ice on the beautiful pond of silver. As you walk home and enter the house you admit to yourself that it was a good game-and a wonderful evening.

If you ever are in the need of a prospective nurse, just whistle and . . . Well, anyway welll take good care of you. If you like 'les femmes in number, then statistically we should appeal to you for there are 22 of us. Of course if you're particular about grade levels, we can boast of some girls from every class. If you ever want to meet our officers, they are president, Barbara Schultz, vice-president, Marilyn Fordg secretary-treas- urer, Ruth Acker, and program chairman, Nancy Yaple. Let there be no more ifs', about it. Why not join next semester? Note: There are also such things as male nurses. HOMEMAKERS CLUB The delightful aroma of food made by the girls in Home- makers Club was enough to lead anyone to their booth at the Mm'di'Gras! In this club, Barbara Shanner wielded her rolling pin as president, aided by Nancy Mangold, vice-president. Ruth Ann Webber was secretary and Janet Waechter, treasurer. Acker, Cheron Benoit. Jacqueline Dillon was program chairman. During the year the Homemakers sponsored many breakfasts, took a trip to Chi- cago, and had a big Christmas party. Mrs. Phyllis Robe was the acting sponsor in the absence of Miss Hansen. Hl-Y Clean living, clean speech, clean sports, and clean scholar- ship is the platform of an international organization called the Hi-Y. The Hammond High Hi-Y club has been built around this platform since 1922. The club sponsor at Hammond High is Mr. L. A. Lund- gren. The officers this year are Ron Bengtson, president, Bill Duncker, vice-president, John Wilhelm, secretary, and Fred Dabney, treasurer. During the year the boys attend camps and come home from Kokomo, Kentland, and other camps with memories of fun and service. Because it is a service organization, the Hi-Y has projects throughout the year. The outstanding ones are the distribution of Thanksgiving baskets and the collection of contributions for the annual Heart Fund drive in February. Through their work in the Hi-Y, many boys have become active in Y.M.C.A. work in college and in later life. HI-Y lst Row: John Wilhelm, Fred Dabney, Bill Duncker, Ron Bengyson Mr. Lundgren.

Bring some honey. Pour more water. Crack those nuts. These are cries heard at the Junior Classical League's bi-annual Roman Banquet on the birthday of Rome. This banquet is attended by Romans dressed in pastel- colored togas and tunics. Slaves dress in knee-length tunics and bright red pointed hats. The slaves are always running about carrying food to and from the many Roman,' quests. After the meal is finished, a play is given, songs are sung, and homage is paid to the gods, all in Latin of course. With this the banquet ends, but memories of it will last long in the minds of those who attended. This banquet is a part of the successful work done by the officers: Sandra Edwards, presidentg Judy Anderson, secretary, Sandra Johnson, vice-presidentg Franklin Carroll, treasurer, and the faculty booster and and advisor, Miss Work. The junior Classical League is an active club that spon- sors, besides the Roman Banquet, a cake walk at the annual Mardi Gras. In closing the members of J.C.L. would like to invite all of you Romans to attend the next Roman Banquet. Spanish Club By Madelon Fredericks Buenos dias, senores y senoritas. Did you know instead of shaking hands when Spaniards meet someone they know on the steet, they embrace each other? Los Buenos Vecinos, the Spanish Club, has been in exist- ance twelve years. lt was started for students who are inter- ested in Spanish and want to learn more about the Spanish speaking people. The club helps to improve the use of Spanish too, because at some of the meetings small groups hold con- versations in Spanish only. Before Christmas vacation the Spanish Club sponsored a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry for Mexican Day where they saw a display of Christmas trees and a Mexican play demonstrating how Mexicans celebrate Christmas. Also at Christmas time the Spanish Club sang Christmas carols in the halls. A few of the songs were La Navidad Blancai' fVl'hite Christmasj, Noche de Paz' CSilent Nighty, Oid un Son en Alta Esferai' fHark the Herald Angels Singj, and Cascabeles fjingle Bellsj. In March the group had a Song Fiesta and invited Spanish classes of other Hammond schools to participate. The sponsor of the Spanish club is Miss Kessing, and the officers are Carole Millikan, presidentg Dorothy Benko, vice- presidentg Janet Ciivel, secretaryg and Peggy Brunswick, treas- urer. J. C. L.

CERMAN CLUB The German Club is organized for the sole purpose of enjoying oneself among people with the mutual interest of German language. The club under the sponsorship of Miss ,Io Reichl has many activities which develop that idea. A success- ful project has been the coffee shop at the Mardi Gras. The proceeds enable the club to send Red Cross packages to Ger- many and to enrich its own treasury, too. Nancy Cutshall is president, Janice Hunt, secretary, and Larry Luellen, treasurer. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The Future Teachers of America is a very important club at Hammond High. It tries to acquaint its members with their prospective occupation, teaching, of course. Speakers tell them the many advantages and disadvantages of teaching. This valuable club is under the direction of Miss Kessingg Mr. Soderquist, president, Janet Langdon: vice-president, Nancy Cutshallg secretary, Virginia Ziehlg and treasurer, Phillip Kelly.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES After waiting in line for tickets to the dance, the couple proceeded to the dance floor of the attractively decorated room. Later they were served refreshments by Student Activi- ties workers. The couple enjoyed their evening. How was the dance made possible? The publicity com- mittee induced students to comeg the ticket committee collec- ted the nominal charge, the friendly checkroom committee welcomed themg and the expert jobs of the decoration, refresh- ment, and entertainment committees changed an ordinary dance into a memorable experience. Hammond High provides an excellent social program and the members of Student Activities receive a certain satisfac- tion from working in the various groups. Roger Hinesley and Kay Forsberg were the co-chairmen who, with a staff of about 150 Hammond High students and the help of Miss Georgia Andersen, directed the Activities. PLANT CLUB Who needs a green thumb? Not the members of the Plant Club, for they learn how to take care of plants. During the meetings the members discuss plants, insects, and other phases of biology which help them to grow healthy plants. They also learn to enjoy and appreciate Nature. They have taken trips through the Herb Gardens, the City Bacteriology Department, and the Friendship Gardens. The officers of the club are Rich- ard Frank, presidentg Virgil Scott, vice-president, Alice Pie- cuch, secretary: and Dolores Juzwick, treasurer. Miss Reeder, sponsor, the officers, and members of the club supply and care for the plants in many of our classrooms. EXPANDED ARTS CLUB Take a chance on a real, live, baby kitten! This call rang out from the Expanded Arts booth the night of the annual Mardi Gras. Through the halls of Hammond High this call announced the auction of three baby kittens, the most sur- prising and original stunt of the evening. The club booth, cleverly resembling an artist's studio, attracted the crowds. Three of the booth's visitors went home very happy over the kittens cuddled in their arms. The artists' sale of handmade leathercraft, portraits, and Christmas cards gave evidence of many hours of hard Work by the club members. As in the past three years, the halls and windows of Hammond High were bright at Christmas time with color and beauty. Hand-painted, stained glass windows, greens, sculptured birds, and a creche, a glowing religious setting in the case display, set the scene. An enormous Christmas tree adorned with ornaments and foil chains climaxed the construc- tions by the members of the club and art classes. Carefully planned and intricately balanced mobiles, sus- pended from various spots in the halls, cafeteria, and Room 5, commanded respect and admiration from the student body. The annual initiation banquet holds a great deal of fun and surprises for members of the Art Club. An initiation with a well-planned theme follows a sumptuous potluck dinner. Exciting events for each semester are the Thanksgiving and Easter competitions in carved apple heads and dressed Easter eggsg and trips to Chicago to visit current exhibits, leading art schools, and advertising displays in the shops. All these exciting events were planned by the officers of last semester and this semester under the sponsorship of Miss Olga Schubkegel. Last semcster's officers were president, Ron Burton: vice-president, Sherrill Fiebelkorng secretary, Ron Perry: and treasurer, Larry Fairchild. This term's officers are Sue Duncan. president: Kit Bishop, vice-president, secretary, Sherrill lfiebelkorng and Judy Shields, treasurer.

The first essen- tial for membership is the maintenance of a B average, but other things are considered too. Members are chosen for good citizenship, honesty and for readiness to put aside personal consideration in the best interests of the school and to fellow students. The sponsors are Miss Katherine NX'illiams and Mr. Charles Long. IUN IOR HONOR SOCIETY The final bell of the day rings and people rush from all directions to the table in front of the bulletin board. junior Honor Society is holding a bake sale. The homemade cookies, cupcakes. and candy are spread in delicious array over the table. but not for long! By four o'clock hardly a crumb is left. By the sale of bakery goods, the members of the club collected enough money to supply a needy family with food at Christmas. First semester officers of the junior Honor, as those who are in a hurry call it, were David Cole, president: Toby Stern, vice-presidentg Judy Harrison, secretaryg and Evelyn Cornelius, treasurer. The purpose of Junior Honor Society is to stimulate in- terest in scholarship and in service to the school and com- munity.

At each meeting, games which are both en- tertaining and educational are played. The Ace of Clubs also has projects, among which is the cake walk at the Mardi Gras.

SENIOR BAND The Senior Band elected for its officers Charles Lawson and Ronald Brown, president and vice-president, respectively. The executive committee consisted of Alice Gussman, John Ebert. and Philip Kelley. This is the first year the band has had any form of government in practice. The court had the power to fine any member who didnit practice a sufficient amount of time. The Senior Band went to Harvey to see and hear the US. Marine Band. The Band Concert was broadcast in 3-D sound over station NVJOB in Hammond. In the State Contest the band placed first and received a trophy for a fine performance. Aside from two concerts this year, the band played for a number of civic occasions such as the Loyalty Day Parade, Clean-Up program, and several ball games.

Accomplished Ambition By Diana Cook For the past seven years, I have participated in an annual music contest which supposedly determines oneis degree of ability at the keyboard. None of the succeeding years, however, is quite as important as the first one. I was eleven years old when I began my career in contest. My piano teacher and I had selected a number with such an impressive title- Four Variations on a Theme by Paganinin Cand I must add in small print, slightly simplified version. j But there would be no Butterflies on the Lawn or Romping Rabbitsi' for me cer- tainly. My mother and father accompanied me that Saturday morning and we sought out the drafty church where I was to prove my worth. Other prodigies like me scattered them- selves about the room and we listened to each other perform. Finally my name was called and I carried my music over to the judge, remembering my teacher's final words, . . . and remember to open the music for the judge. As I sat on the squeaking bench, I knew that this was the time I had to play best. Every practice session and piano lesson for the past months had built up to this one perfor- mance. I can still remember the make of piano which was used but I donlt remember my thoughts while actually playing. I probably finished my number, retrieved my music and left. The next step was to learn my rating. It wasn't until later in the day that I could learn the fateful decision. On bulletin boards were posted all the names of contestants and eventually next to the names would be written I. II, or III. Later in the afternoon the crowd around the board grew larger. People closed in, tromping on each otheris feet, vainly seeking the numbers which had not been stated yet. Iiinally A bespectacled. efficient woman came trotting down the hall armed with fountain pen and the ratings. A cheer arose from the throng and the crowd royally swept aside. Quickly she jotted down the numbers and one could hear shrieks of pleasure or moans of disappointment as the budding artists saw their respective numbers. I worked my way forward and looked for my name and I saw next to it a neat. blue-inked 'I'! I looked again and it still said 'Ill I felt satisfaction and contentment and I was glad I had worked for it. Page One Hundred Thirteen 9 A WN 2.9 1 'I A . 2.3.

Page One Hundred Sixteen INTRAIVIURAL COUNCIL The Intramural Council is an organization of boys who attempt to promote sports activities for boys who are not on varsity or B teams. Under the guidance of Mr. McNabney, Mr. Kucer, and Mr. Scott, the council has helped to make a well-rounded sports program consisting of everything from ping-pong to turkey runs. This group has devoted its time, when not on a date or eating candy, to making a program which all can enjoy. This year the council sponsored a bus to Bloomington for a basketball game. The boys Intramural Council feel that their work should be continued. GIRLS VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS Kneeling: Joann Olson, Judy Anderson. Standing- Nancy Joros, Connie Stephens, Pat Gentry' Dottie Bell. GIRLS BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS Joann Olson, Pat Gentry, Dorothy Bell, Carol Anderson, Janice Tuttle. INTRANIURALS The Intramural Department, under the direction of Mr. Scott and Mr. INIcNabney, again presented a well-balanced pro- gram which included: a Turkey Run, horseshoe contest, a basketball program, a bowling league, a swimming meet, a soft- ball league. and .1 volley ball tournament. A horseshoe contest started the program off in fine style. Dave Cole won the fourth hour program while Kendall Shank took the honors during fifth hour. In the championship encoun- ter Dave Cole came out victorious. TURKEY RUN Consisting of a freshman and an upperclassman league, the Intramural Basketball program was very successful. Some 13 teams and 75 boys participated in the grueling action. But as the smoke cleared captain Don K0lb's team was perched on top of the Senior League with a perfect 5-0 record, and thereby qualified for the All-Star game with the faculty team. Twenty-four boys, composing four teams, participated in the Intramural Bowling League. The Blue Boys finished first with a 415 - l8'i record while Preusz led all the bowlers with a 138 average. The Intramural Swimming Meet, with over 20 boys par- ticipating, consisted of contests in five different events. Win- ners were: Larry Yarck 3 wins, and Barton Smith, Horace XY'eak, and Jack Gibson 1 win each. The annual Turkey Run was held during half-time of the Whiting football game with boys running for the 'lfowlsh given as prizes. The first five finishers were: Bill Robinson 4:13, Kurt Carlisle 4:20, Bob Shaw 4:25, Ted Stauffer 4:27, and Ron Rosko 4:31. As the Dunes was going to press, an elimination volley- ball tournament was getting underway with twenty home rooms participating in the hot action. A softball league was also being planned. Action ct the Turkey Run. WINCFOOT CLUB The Wingfoot Club, solely for cross country boys, is or- ganized to raise money for cross country equipment.

H-lVlEN'S COUNCIL The H-Men's Council consists of one representative from the varsity team of each sport. Officers are Tim Etter, presi- dent, Bill Schwingendorf, vice-president, Dave Bement, secre- tary, and Allen Tucker, treasurer. Sponsors this year are two new instructors and coaches, Mr. Kucer and Mr. Scott. Although representing special interest groups, the H-Men's Council is in reality .1 service club. It has several jobs in con- nection with the athletic department. The most important of these are two father and son banquets honoring athletic award winners. In addition to free food and the presentation of awards, talks by famous stars, coaches, and officials from the sports being honored make these banquets very popular. These banquets last only a few hours, but trying to pay for them occupies the rest of the year. The chief source of income is the printing and selling of the basketball programs. Although requiring much hard work, this enterprise is profitable to the extent of more than five hundred dollars a year. This year the H-Menis Council is going to make a calculated investment and sponsor the semit-formal. If successful, they hope to earn enough money to buy a movie camera for the athletic depart- ment.

I Like My you By Annie Burns As I pushed myself into the cafeteria, I was frightened to death. I imagined right then what my first day of work. would be like. One look at the cash register and I started to retreat for the door, but something inside made me turn around and at least look at the machine. Before I could get used to the cash register, a crowd rushed through the doors like a herd of Texas Long-horns. They seemed to be coming straight at me, and I didn't know what to do. Drawing my- self together, I tried to add. What a catastrophe! Being a poor adding machine and ignorance of the prices don't make a very fine team, but I plunged headlong into my task. It seemed as though that line reached from here to eternityng I kept stretching my neck, like a giraffe, but the line was still coming. Finally I saw the end, I thought. just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I saw a group of grade school kids trotting in. After I had discussed prices, credit, and money, my day ended. The first day was really a day and I don't think that I would ever have finished if I hadn't had such a swell person as Jeri McCoy to work with. Now I love my work extremely well. I look forward to hearing people say: How much did you charge me for this side order? Twenty cents? That's too much money. What do you think I am? A millionaire? Jeri and I agree that we even get enjoyment out of the few people who complain about the prices. If the discussion gets too heated, however, we simply reply: We don't make the pricesly' and refer them to Miss Maclntyre, director of the cafe- teria. This comment usually cools them down. A teacherls forgetting to pay me, and my having to rc- mind him, makes me feel like a member of the F. B. I. One thing that really peeves me is a person's wanting to make an uneven exchange. This is done mostly by students. There is one boy who'll come by with pie Q12 centsjg about fifteen minutes later he'll want to exchange it for a Twinkie C10 centsj. Now, however, I ask him if he is positive of what he wants before I ring up his amount--sometimes it works. Sometimes during the day I get upset or even peeved, but at night, as I think back over the day, I smile and think what a wonderful day, and wonder what the next day will bring to the cafeteria. MISS MacINTYRE Miss Kathrine Maclntyre has attended the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois, Columbia University, and Colorado University. Today Miss Maclntyre is known to all Hammond High students and faculty members as the super- visor of their favorite hour of the day-lunch hour.

After compiling a 15-5 season record, the Wildcats won the fifteenth sectional title and the ninth regional crown in the last twenty-five years. This year's team succeeded in breaking Coach King's Purdue fieldhouse afternoon game iinx by defeating Logansport 58-46. In the evening, however, Elkhart stopped the Wildcat bid for state honors. Bob Blackmon, Tom Granack, Pete Klobuchar, and Archie Spoerner were the seniors on this year's squad. Coach Kucer's B-squad posted a sizzling 15-1 record for the season. From this showing, we can assume H.H.S. will have more good material for the next few years. VARSITY BASKETBALL HIGHLIGHTS HHS 50 - SO. BEND CENTRAL 47 The Wildcats were going to start early in the season to show that they were a team with which everyone was going to have to contend. Co-captains Bob Blackmon and Allen Kolb led the attack. HHS 61 - CLARK 50 The Wildcat scoring machine remained in high gear as they clawed the Pioneers. HHS 59 - TOLLESTON 45 The entire team played as the Cats routed the Raiders. HHS 42 - MUNCIE CENTRAL 55 The big Bearcats shifted the Wildcat gears into reverse. Frank Radovich found the Muncie baskets big enough to put 17 points through. HHS 56 - LEW WALLACE 37 The Hornets, who had ruined the Wildcat hopes the year before, were caged as Hammond High used its entire team once again. Bob Blackmon scored 16 points. HHS 57 - TERRE HAUTE GERSTMEYER 59 Hammond High's rousing fourth quarter attack fell short by two points. The Wildcat attack was somewhat slowed down when both Tom Granack and Frank Radovich fouled out of the game. HHS 76 - Decatur 65 Even though Frank Radovich scored 21 points and Bob Blackmon scored 18 more tallies through the nets, the game was overshadowed by the unfortunate injury of Tom Granack. HHS 64 - SO. BEND RILEY 68 The HHS hopes of winning the holiday tourney were upset as Riley singed the Cats' whiskers. HHS 61 - BEDFORD 42 The W'ildcats again pulled out all of the stops and slaugh- tered the Indians. Frank Radovich led all scorers of the tourna- ment with a total of 46 points, 22 in the afternoon and 24 in the evening.

Frank Radovich scored over twenty points for the fifth out of six games. HHS 68 - VALPARAISO 41 A short Valpo team was overpowered by the deadly shoot- ing and extra height that the Wildcats had. Frank Radovich scored more points in that game than in any other to date. He dropped in 27. HHS 70 - GARY EMERSON 62 The Norsemen were sent back to sea as the Cats rolled on to victory number 10. Frank Radovich stretched his scoring streak to seven out of eight games by sizzling the hoops with 26 points. HHS 67 - E. C. ROOSEVELT 47 The tough Rough Riders provided the most excitement that the Civic Center had seen all season. The Cats had to come back from behind. The comeback was led by Bob Black- mon and Frank Radovich. HHS 59 - BLOOMINGTON 47 All of the Wildcats passed their basketball final exams with flying colors. Two of the players that received very high grades were Bob Blackmon and Archie Spoerner who scored 15 and 12 respectively. HHS 72 - HAMMOND TECH 46 The Wildcats tamed the Tigers with excellent shooting. Bob Blackmon led all the scorers with 21 points. The thrill of the night came in the B-team game when Eddie Scott hit a 40 footer with 2 seconds left in the overtime to give HHS the victory 36-34. HHS 43 - E. C. WASHINGTON 48 The Wildcat hopes for the division crown were shattered as the Senators vetoed HHS attempts. Bob Blackmon played his best game of the season as he scored 20 points and held the Wildcats together. HHS 52 - FROEBEL 60 The Wildcats were still sluggish after the Washington defeat. They drew close at several points but then fell behind. HHS 83 - LAPORTE 46 LaPorte may be the slicers but the Wildcats were wielding the knife in this game. The Cats turned in their highest scoring performance of the season. Frank Radovich set a Hammond High record for the number of baskets scored by one player in a game. He hit 13 baskets and added four free throws for a total of 30. HHS 68 - LAFAYETTE JEFF 61 The Cats undertook the task of breaking the Broncos and their coach, Marion Crawley, without the services of Bill john- son. Bob Blackmon led the scoring with 20, while Frank Rado- vich played his best rebounding game of the season. Allen Kolb was the outstanding floor man of the game.

Page One Hundred Twenty-eight REGIONAL CHAMPIONS Tournament Time By Ronald Burton The ball travels swiftly from one end of the floor to the other as it passes through one netted hoop and then the other. As the game is in its final seconds the crowd is on its feet. Fame and obscurity hang in the balance. The score is tied when the spectators start chanting. I:IVE-FOUR-TI-IREIL TVVO-SI-IOOT! SHOOT! The ball flies through the air! The gun barks as the ball flies through the ring. W'e don't have to look at the scoreboard to see who has won. Look at the players! For a second they stand paralyzed, dumbfounded! Some bend their heads down, dejected, and stride slowly off the floor, each feeling personally responsible for the loss of the game. Let us look at the other five boys on the floor. They are pummeled and lifted jubilantly above the shoulders of the happy crowd. They are carried away by the people they havenyt let down. They are carried past gloomy and dejected fans, too deep in their sorrows to care about anything at present. Yes, tournament time is a great time and a sad time. As game after game passes, hopes mount and new sorrows arrive. The tournaments are based upon what makes America the great and strong nation that it is today. This is competition! THE STRATEGY BOARD The Basketball Strategy Board By Coach Bob King One night last spring, I was lying in bed thinking about a quicker method of conveying various offenses and defenses to the players during the time-out periods. An idea was con- ceived and I got up and wrote it down. The next morning, I was to work out the details of the gadget which was to be called The Basketball Strategy Boardf' A basketball court is imprinted on a sheet of galvanized tin. Little wooden men are held to the tin by imbedded mag- nets. The men can be moved to any position on the board. Mr. R. P. Schuler, of Inland Steel, constructed the board and is the technical adviser. Prelude By Jerry Foote Soon a contest will be decidedg soon the vanquished will tread disappointedly to the showers, where they will try to forget and prepare anew, and soon the victorious will parade on the shoulders of the shouting, cheering spectators, immor- talized by flashbulbs and glorified by songs of praise. This is tournament time. The game is about to start. Entire cheering sections are demanding the appearance of their loyal sons. Cheerleaders, clad in the hallowed colors of their respective schools, are the cen- ter of the crowd's attention. All eyes are upon these leaders upon whom the team's morale might depend. Now they are clappingg now jumping, and now they are performing acro- batics. Little can be ascertained of the real meaning of these gestures, but somehow the right spirit is being communicated to those in the stands, for even more are joining in the organ- ized displays of enthusiasm. The normally reserved, but now excited adults are con- tributing to the air of turbulence, as the players sprint onto the floor, one by one. Steadily, gradually the tumult rises. Each spectator is encouraging his choice of team, coach, or player. Clearly, all want to be heard. Now chaos prevails. The peanut vendor finds his task easier, for nearly all are seated in anticipation of the big event. The aisles are clear-the crowd waits. Now the referees appear on the floor. Suddenly silence prevails. A stillness blankets the huge auditorium with a new atmosphere. Everyone stands facing the Stars and Stripes. Some are even praying, while the organ sounds out the Star Spangled Banner. The feeling of respect and awe, which seems to overwhelm every person present, is reassurance that this is in every sense a true sporting event. Now the tumult is greater, fiercer, more turbulent than before-as if the walls were tumbling. The teams break their huddles and the centers take their positions. The referee tosses up the ball. BASEBALL Although hit hard by graduation, the baseball team got pitching and plenty of power from the six returning lettermen and the upperclassmen to get off to a flying start. Returning lettermen were Richard Harvey, Bill Schwin- gendorf, Gus Hartoonian, Don Linos, Tom Rosowicz, and Gib Blackmun. Upperclassmen making fine showings were Marvin Pruitt. Gib Blackmun, and Ed Scott. SCHEDULE H.H.S. 4, Gary Wallace 3. Marv Pruitt's relief pitching and Ron johnson's clutch hitting were the highlights as the Wild- cats got started on the winning path. H.H.S. 17, Hammond Tech 6. Ed Scott batted in six runs and Dick Harvey struck out six consecutive Tigers. H.H.S. 17, Gary Froebel 2. Hammond High again showed tremendous power. Tom Rosowitz banged a three-run homer while Marv Pruitt won his second game. H.H.S. 2, E.C. Washington 0. Dick Harvey held the top- ranked Senators to two hits. Gus Hartoonian, Bill Schwingen- dorf, and Gib Blackmun were demons on defense. H.H.S. 6, E. C. Roosevelt 3. Although held to only four hits the Wildcats made it five straight. Gib Blackmun went the distance to record his second win. H.H.S. 12, Hammond Clark 2. The cats again put on a power demonstration. Ron Johnson got two triples, and Gus Hartoonian cleared the sacks with his three-bagger. Marv Pruitt went the distance for his third win and Hammond'S sixth straight. H.H.S. 4, Horace Mann 3. Rich Harvey won his second game, but the big feature was a Kolb to Schwingendorf to Rosowicz triple play. H.H.S. 5, Gary Emerson l. Bill Schwingendorf's three run triple won the game as Dick Harvey hurled a two hitter. H.H.S. 5. Whiting 0. Dick Harvey won his fourth game and the Wildcats ninth straight game in the Western Division with a fine defense leading the way.

In front: Mr. Gellenbeck. me The Triple Play By Tom Rosowicz Is is the first of the fifth inning on the Hammond High School diamond. With the score 4-1 in favor of the Cats, the invading Horsemen are up for their turn at bat. The first man up leads off with a smash hit single. The second Horseman up manages to draw a walk. With two men on and a chance to score a run, the opponent's bench tries to rattle the Cat pitcher. The Cat infield is a jumble of words which can be classified as baseball talk. The crowd is on the edge of their seats as the Cat pitcher fires the first pitch- Strike, yells the ump. That seems to soothe the excited crowd. On the second pitch the Horseman batter blasts a low line-drive heading for center fieldg but wait! The Cat second baseman makes a shoe string stop! The second baseman relays the ball to the shortstop who beats the Horseman runner back to second baseg that's two outsg but base. The wait, the runner on first base is ten feet from the shortstop fires the ball to first. There seems to be dead silence as the runner and ball make a headlong dash to- ward first base. The sounding pop in the first baseman's glove tells everyone that the ball has finished first-a triple play!

GOLF Following an old theory, Coach King built his l954 edition on a firm foundation-Tom Granack, Bill Warmus, and George Berta, the three returning lettermen. Bob Pressler rounded out the squad that tied for second place in the con- ference race. TENNIS TEAM The tennis team climaxed a fine season by winning the Western Division Championship in a play-off with Hammond Tech. The Wildcat netmen thus finished the conference season with an 8-1 record compared with Tech's 7-2 slate. But Elk- hart, Eastern Division Champs, proved too much for the spirited Wildcats in the championship play-offs. Varsity lettermen were John Rapp, Phil Grutzius, Allen Tucker, Sheldon Lynn, Leo Martin, Sheldon Abrahamson, and Weldon Lovell. Coach Overman's big problem this spring will be finding a new squad, for Leo Martin will be the only re- turning letterman. Page One Hundred Thirty-four GOLF TEAM ln Fronl: Mr. King.

As most of the seniors who comprised the 1952 and 1953 staff had graduated, another innovation was brought about. This year's staff contained. for the most part, members who were new at the business of publishing a high school weekly. Highlights of the year were the Christmas and Easter issues which were printed in natural color, a pioneer project of the Herald for the past several years. The Herald in winning honorable mention in the Ham- mond Times recent contest for excellence in makeup received an appreciated award. During the second semester the Journalism I class renewed an old custom by publishing the Cub Edition of the Herald. Journalism I students are beginners in the study of mass media and get .1 view of what is required of those working on various types of publications in many fields, including newspapers, house organs, yearbooks, magazines, radio and television. Students who successfully pass this course with at least a B average are urged to further their interests by working on the yearbook or the school newspaper.

Kesler's Line of Scrimmage on May 14th in the Hammond High auditorium. Attending the first nighter were author Hal Kesler and executives from Row-Peterson Company which owns the rights to the play. An autograph party was held after the play. The Line of Scrimmage concerns a school situation and Principal Morrison, a lover of poetry, who has complications when Stanley Grappleneusky, star football player is found in- eligible for participation in sports because of his failing English. Matters are complicated when Stanley Grappleneusky takes a special English test to establish his eligibility and makes a score of 100 per cent. The play reaches a high peak when Perry Winman tells Principal Morrison of his theft of the test and then goes in to make a full confession before the school board. The play cast is as follows: Madge Collins ....,. ...............,... Mr. Morrison ......r Coach Horsely ..,. Harry Donaldson ,,,, Perry Winman .,Y.. Mr. Keefer .,.,..... Mrs. Burris .....

V, Dunes Staff Chooses Theme -- Creativity Upon completing the 1954 Dunes, the staff has realized a dream-come-true, that of combining a literary unit with the regular school section. The theme creativity was chosen largely because of the purpose of the book, to develop a production based around creative thinking. The production has been made possible by the cooperation of the mathematics department, science department, and chiefly the art department and the English department. Special credit is due Miss Edith Stanley for her help in producing the literary section of the bookg to Miss Olga Schub- kegel for her help in producing the cover, the end sheets, the division pages, and the various art panelsg and to Miss Mar- garet W'illi.1ms for her assistance in typing Dunes copy.
