Dances, par- ties, soc-hops and semi-formals were presented for the enjoyment of the students. From Hammond High’s earliest beginnings, social programs have been a very important part of school life. “I could have danced all night” always describes those special parties and dances presented by the Association, classes, and by clubs. In each event, the time was short, but full of enough memories to last a life-time. The year 1961 was no exception to the rule of varied, interesting and fun activities for all. amusement 16-7 Vido iy £pa ih The 1960 Homecoming Queen ond her court watch the tense Hammond High-Roosevelt game. I to R Lynn Johnson, senior princess; Jackie Dose, junior princess; Nancy Reitz, Homecoming queen; Wendy Smith, sophomore princess; and Phyllis Wood, freshman princess. From the bonfire on Thursday night, to the soc-hop after Friday’s game, the 1960 Homecoming celebration was one of the most successful in the history of Ham- mond High. A crashing victory over rival East Chicago Washington thrilled stu- dents and raised the Purple state rating to a new high. Flames from the bonfire silhouette students as the 1960 Homecoming Queen and her Court are announced. Page Six I960 flomenomutg After the game, a soc-hop sponsored by Student Activities was held at the Civic Center. Students paused for a quick breath between dances. After being crowned by Doug Trolson, Association president, Nancy Reitz, Homecoming Queen, smiled happily through her tears. Page Seven UppeM i 64 m£ti take, a hip Students approach Monticello, the beautiful home of Thomas Jefferson. The building was interestingly designed, due to Jefferson ' s interest in architecture. Being an upperclassman entitles the student to take the Washington Pilgrimage, which is highlighted by visits to Congress, governmental bureaus and agencies, the White House, and other points of interest in the East. Approximately 140 stu- dents made the trip. Chaperones in- cluded Miss Georgia Andersen, Miss Zelda Black and Mr. Jay Wood. m ■Attiirw In the Luray Caverns in Virginia, a guide points out interesting rock formations to this group of interested on lookers.

The tree was decorated by the art department to blend in with the motif of the other decorations. Right — Phyllis Gachos and Bernie Krueger admire the stained glass windows. The lovely decorations emphasized the true spirit of Christmas. Page Ten the, gain YuhUde, a oaoh Customs from other lands are the theme of the Christ- mas auditorium. Georgene Piorkowski played St. Lucia and Camilla Colantonia and Twjla Reed performed a dance. On the day of St. Lucia, the oldest girl in the family carries treats to the rest of the members who remain in bed. The entire vocal music department of Ham- mond High combines voices for the finale of the Christmas auditorium sesion. Thegroup also sang for the Christmas Vespers on the Sunday preceding the auditorium. Participat- ing groups are A Capella Choir, Girls’ Choir, Boys’ Choir, choruses, and the Glee Club. Many activities filled students and faculty with the Christmas spirit. The winter semi- formal, the Christmas auditorium session, hall decorations, home room parties, and the two- week vacation all promoted the season’s gaiety.

Teddy (Allen Gurevitz. enters and tells Mr. Spindler (Mark Sick) at right, that a very important article needed for the play to be presented at the Hootchie-Koochy is missing. The, TmJifmJim “The Torchbearers” a hilarious farce, was chosen as this year’s play. Much work and effort goes into produc ing a finished production — by Miss Oza Cunningham, director; committees and the cast. The plot involves a group of wealthy amateur actors and actresses who attempt to put on plays under the direction of their friend, Mrs. Pampinelli. The results of their efforts are the subject of the play. Left — Why doesn’t the curtain come up so I can take my bow? demands Mrs. Pampinelli (Miriam Fogleman) Sharon Thomson, Diane Kirsh, Anne Rodems, Phoebe Rhodes, Mark Sick, John Monberg, Tom Moser and Dave Zarth are worried, and afraid to tell her the cur- tain-rope broke. STAGE HANDS Stage hands make a finished production a reality; they are experienced in all forms of stage-craft. L-r — S. Green, R. Faust, B. Smith, K. Hinemann, B. Ealker, M. Wade. Page Thirteen Qfude di yoy wofik and p fay The Sophomore doss, sponsored by Mr. A. T. Bolt ond Mrs. Mar- garet Mertens, presented the first party of the spring. Hawaiian Luau was the theme of the dance, which was held in the cafeteria. The sophomores danced, and were also entertained by a miniature charmer straight from the beautiful islands of paradise. These students composed the Oil Panel, which is sponsored by Mr. Norman Beyer. Members speak on the topic of oil — its uses, refining methods, history, and future. Seated, l-r — Maureen O’Hern, Barbara Blackmun, Connie Bulkley. Rebr — Bill Berg, Robert Ericson. One sure sign of spring was the appearance of girl’s baseball. In their physical education c ' asses, the girls learned the fundamentals of America’s favorite game; in balmy spring weather, they put their knowledge into practice. Page Fourteen Dunes dut ubuted at Sig {Living Held while the 1960 Dunes were being distributed, the Signature Swing gave students an opportuni- ty to have everyone sign year- books. Dunes staff members dis- tributed the books to the lucky sub- scribers; in the bookstore, a few students were able to purchase one of the limited number of books still available for sale. After getting their books, everyone scurried around having his friends sign his Dunes. Remember ’way back when . . . ? Below, left — The halls were jammed as these students sign their friend ' s Dunes; every available nook and cranny was used. Below, right — Anyplace will do to sign a Dunes, especially when the halls are crowded. If you sit on a locker, however, you ' re not in danger of being bumped. fUudenti dune, tetulm The campaign was on! Posters, signs, tags, and banners blossomed at Ham- mond High during the month of March; the students elected their Association officers for the 1961-62 year. All candi- dates who ran for top student govern- ment positions were well-qualified, and it was difficult to decide how to cast one’s ballot. Aside from covering the marks and holes in the plaster the posters served an important function; they inform the student body as to the candidates. Although not everyone can hold an office in the Association, the entire school can help make Hammond High School’s student government an effec- tive working body by giving it support, suggestions, and encouragement. After the primaries, the number of candidates was whittled to six finalists. These smiling students relaxed after giving their campaign speeches in auditorium sessions. Front row l-r — Barbara Smith, Gayle Bohling. Pat Harding, rear — Tom Doyle, Fred Foushee, and Jim Vergin. Winners were: Jim Vergin, President; Fred Foushee, Vice-president; and Gayle Bohling, Recorder. Page Sixteen Running for an office means lots of work. These students, well forti- fied with soft drinks and potato chips, searched for clever ideas to give sparkle to the campaign. In spite of the amount of time and labor consumed, everyone who participated in the election agreed they ' d enjoyed themselves thoroughly. AuotiatiOH Week was sueeess Elected by the students of Hammond High, the Association officers planned and suggested ideas for activities in the 1960-61 year. Mary Ellen Alt, Recorder; Red Wilhelm, Vice-President; Doug Trolson, President. While waiting to participate in the costume contest, these students primpeJ and adjusted their “slightly different styles Costumes entered ranged from a hundred-dollar flapper costume to an old-fashioned bathing suit, replete with long socks and cotton bathing cap. Old time movies were also enjoyed by an enthusiastic audience at both auditorium sessions. Association Week, from April 4 to 7, was a smashing success. Tuesday was Old- Fashioned Day, when students sported costumes from seventy-five years back, to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee Year. Tuesday, purple and white were the favored colors. Class colors were worn on Thursday. Friday, carnations blossomed on Sunday-best fashions; it was Dress-Up Day. The Association banquet was held at a popular restaurant, smorgasbord; those who attended came back for sec- onds, and thirds, and fourths . . . Friday climaxed the week; a Bermuda soc-hop was held at the Civic Center. Darlene (alias Doug) Barton beamed coyly for the camera after being selected os a charming entry in the Associa tion ' s old-fashioned costume contests. Page Seventeen Ju UOJU pMA d After grabbing ' a quick bite to eat, Jean hurries to apply a coat of nail polish. She has to rush, because she and Nick have to leave to attend a 6:30 pre-prom coke party. Be sure you fix ft so ft stays up. Mom, says Jean to her Mother who twists Jean ' s hair into a french roll. Page Eighteen “Bali Ha’i,” the 1960 Prom, sponsored by the Class of 1961, was eagerly anticipated by the 250 couples who attended. Girls busily select- ed the perfect formal, the boys rented a tux, made restaurant reservations and ordered flowers for their dates. The busiest day, however, is the afternoon before the Prom. What a rush the girls go through as they scurry around preparing for a party! Senior Jean Hoover typifies all these girls as she prepares for her date with Nick Gas- parovic. So let’s join Jean as she goes through that hectic process known as “getting ready.” Nick corefully helps Jean fasten his gift of flowers to her wrist. Ball Na . I Junior and senior class officers and their dates line up to lead the Grand March, which is the highlight of the Junior Prom night. The 1960 Prom was the cli- max of months of hard work by junior class committees and class sponsors, Miss Mae Kessing and Mr. Jay Wood. No one who attended “Bali Ha’i” will ever forget danc- ing to the music of Pat De Mure and his fabulous band, or having dinner at Chicago restaurants, and picnicking the next day at the dunes, even though it was raining. Juniors and Seniors agree, “We’ve never attended any party that was more fun.” No matter how you look at it, the Prom was a big suc- cess. Sophomores Leslie Malo and Paula Van Horn serve refreshments to Jean Hoover and Nick Gasparovic as the couple takes a break from dancing. Page Nineteen Making Sport History 1961 was a top year in Hammond High School’s sports history; varsity teams took top honors. Our football eleven won state; the basketball team reach- ed the Sectional semi-final. Swimming, golf, wrest- ling, tennis and track enjoyed good seasons. Athletics is a word at Hammond High which includes both the teams and the rooting sections. This word has been built on a firm foundation of good sportsmanship and powerful competition. Names echoing through the years like Thornton, Nelson, Cornwell, Papais, the Kucers, Krueger, and Huffine are but a few who gave the Purple the pres- tige that it enjoys today. Hammond High School is proud of its traditions founded years ago and con- tinued into the present-traditions which have helped to make the 1960-61 year one of the finest athletic seasons in the school’s rich history. athletics ow 1—Dove Mueller.

As if to live up to predictions the Cats roared through a perfect (10-0) season. An almost disastrous meeting with Hammond Morton groomed the team for the N.I.H.S.C. game with Michigan City, which the Cats took, giving Hammond High its first championship since 1937. Fullback Terry Blummer, hero of the Michigan City game, drives ahead for extra yardage.

In their classes, the girls learn basic strokes and water safety precau- tions. Other strokes, such as the elementary backstroke, crawl, side- stroke, and breast stroke are taught. Basketball is a feature sport in girls physical educa- tion classes. A jump ball provides excitement in th s game. The girls also participate in volley ball, base- ball, tennis, and other sports. They also gained ex- perience by refereeing various games. As soon as the weather is warm enough and balmy, baseball is popular with the girls. It’s a strike! groan the batter’s teammates as she swings and misses. Better luck next time. Page Forty — 1 L — ..

When the dive was made, the water was a nippy thirty-eight degrees; divers reported noticeably clear visibility to a depth of twenty feet. Self-contained underwater breathing ap- paratus diving is an interesting and dif- ferent hobby to members of the Aqua Divers. Formed little more than a year ago, the club now has ten divers with most of their own equipment. Hammond High’s pools are used to teach members the basic steps for safe diving and correct usage of equipment. A project of the divers was ice-diving at the Dolton stone quarry early in January. Clubs Combine Talents New clubs and ideas made the 1960-61 year full of fun and enjoyment for those who participated in a club or activity. Students who joined a club and combined their efforts with those of the other mem- bers gained valuable knowledge in working together. Dating back to the early 1900’s, girls had their own glee clubs and bands as did the boys. There were exciting names in clubs, such as the Sphinx, Der Deutsche Verein, Bohemian . . . and whatever be- came of the Canary Club and the Undertakers. The H-Men wore their sweaters each Wednesday. Some of these special interest groups have changed their names and their purposes . . . some have died out, only to be replaced by others. Over the years, clubs and diversified activities have become a most impor- tant segment of the whole school life. activities The Amo elation is oust student government Members of the House of Representatives are: front, l-r — J.

Every- one is urged to participate in and support this valuable service organ- ization. Expanded Arts Club, sponsored by Miss Schub- kegel, fosters art appreci- ation among Hammond High students. Some of the often unappreciated projects of the club include posters, designs, and hall decor- ations. The beautiful hall trimmings and Christmas tree decorations were also the work of Expanded Arts.

Hammond High School, ever since its founding seventy-five years ago, has enjoyed an academic reputation of the highest caliber. Alumni of our school hold responsible, respected positions all over the country. The most important part of the scholastic picture is the teachers, the administrative personnel, who make it possible for the students to learn. The pu- pils of Hammond High are justly proud of the record they have gained in scholastic achievements. Yet all these distinctions would be impossible without the guidance of the faculty. Hammond High School’s faculty, in 1908, consisted of only eight members; now more than eighty trained people, each special- ists in particular fields, teach at our school. In the center of all this activity is the group which makes the education machine rotate. This group is the counselors, the guidance group. These are the over- time workers who patiently steer the students into profitable, productive fields of endeavor. Here’s a salute to the 1901 Hammond High faculty . . . Supt. Hershaman, Principal Hill, and the teach- ers: Miss Bassett, algebra; Miss Morgan, Latin; Miss Wakeman, English; Miss Merry weather, stenography and Miss Masepohl, German. im v -■• .JH academic Bookstore Staff members are: front l-r — Judyne Mit- cheltree, Carole Bucksot, Jill Cooper, row 2 — Marie Whit- mer, Shirley Dorris, Mr. Fruehling, Jackie Noldin, Kathryn Kenealy, Ken Wil- son, Charlene Kammer, Johnnie Meyers, Ed Hund- ley.

CUSTODIANS Hammond High’s hard-working custodians perform important duties which are too often unappreciated by Hammond High. Keeping our halls clean and free from debris, cleaning and straightening class- rooms, even cleaning the swimming pools and preparing them for use — all these duties, and many more fall to our custodians.

Other officers, s enators and house representatives were sworn in, after which the whole student body repeated the pledge and sang Loyalty. itudmti and paA£ftU The merits and advantages of various colleges and universities were discussed by parents, students and college counselors at College Night, November 8. John Kenny, of Franklin College, tells these students and their parents about his school. Mr. Chidester, Miss Reichl, Miss Work and Miss Harrold checked attendance. Indiana University was the most popular school visited at College Night; questions pertaining to campus life and courses were asked. Page Sixty-Firm Students obtain, study guides and counseling Students make use of the library to obtain data for term papers, themes, and other writing assign- ments which necessitate research. All sorts of ref- erence books including encyclopedias, dictionar- ies, magazines, and pam- phlets are available. Mrs. Jessica Rich, the librar- ian, is always on hand to assist. In Room 109 are shelves of college catalogues and pamphlets which are easily accessible and up to date for ready reference. While waiting to meet with Mr. Robert Brock, senior counselor, these students discuss the merits of a large university. Below — Dr. Wenonah G. Brewer, director on student affairs at Indiana State Teachers College, addressed the Hammond High School students and facul- ty at an auditorium session. In an informative and entertaining speech, she stressed the importance of careful planning for one ' s future college and life work. The Orchestra at Hammond High is composed of 35 members from the band, and a string section. Mr. Kenneth Geckler conducts the orchestra. This branch of the instrumental music department ploys for many concerts, civic and service clubs, educational functions, and also for Hammond Public School Music Festival, which is held each year. Qua ObckutML p iaitim and p ifrvuni Mr. Geckler measures the tone quality of Pat Harding s notes on the bass clarinet during a summer band lesson. Many stu- dents took extra lessons dur- ing the summer, when more practice time is available. The extra touches which add to a musician ' s skill are taught; in the fall and winter semesters, too many students must be given lessons, so these fine de- tails which improve technique cannot be learned.

Members march in parades such as the Memorial Day parade, Loyalty parade, Chicago Christ- mas parade and the Miss America pa- rade. Small groups of the band play for the rousing pep sessions, giving our teams that needed boost. They presented colors at the beginning of football games, and performed at half-time. Many interesting activities are planned by our band, which is directed by Mr. Kenneth Gekeler. An exchange program with the Crown Point band was much appreciated by students and faculty of both schools. The band is almost entirely self-sup- porting; they sold candy to earn money for uniforms and new instruments. The band is a deserving, worthwhile, and im- portant part of life at Hammond High. the pate, foJi ike band Even though it was a sizzler, the band marched and played in the annual Labor Day parade. Shirt sleeves were the order of the day as members appeared for the first time in the season. Page Sixty-nine At the Michigan City-Hammond football game, band members formed a block h’’ and played Loyalty” as the fans wondered how precision marching is done. Bcutd pejifajim at oottaM gaum Halftime shows take practice, and practice the band does — cold or snowy. Diligent work and repetition resulted in clever and enter- taining shows, such as “Brigadoon,” Cinder- ella, a political skit, and demonstrations of precision marching. These skits were so clever, that instead of warming up in the building, students sat on the bleachers in order not to •miss the show!

During the school year, Barb sold ads, wrote stories, read proof, and generally supervised the work of her staff. For the first time, the Herald became a weekly paper; added were many lively columns and features which held the interest of students and faculty. Mr. A. T. Bolt is the sponsor of the newspaper.

Right — Carol Chidester, Club editor, and Alan Ruedi, Pic- ture-editor, photographer, search the file for a particular picture.

In honor of the seventy-fifth dia- mond jubilee year, the Dunes staff, headed by Sue Selsor, planned an exceptional yearbook, based on the theme, “No matter how you look at it, there’ll never be another year like 1961.” Such improvements as color di- vision pages, larger underclassmen’s pictures, signature end-sheets, and even a new printer, topped with the most unusual yearbook cover in the area, make the 1961 Dunes one of the best ever distributed at Ham- mond High.

Page Eighty-one C iadiudiOft Highlights 1 t 1 t l 1 To the strains of Pomp and Circumstance ’ the class of 1960 marches into the Civic Center and waits to be graduated. When one is a freshman, graduation seems but a hazy dream, but the dream becomes reality when one orders his an- nouncements, gets his senior pictures, and finally his cap and gown. But the climax — the highlight of senior year — is receiving one’s diploma, a tangible sym- bol of four years of effort. Congratulations, and best wishes for the future, is probably what school board member Dr. Henry Eggers says as he hands John Tweedle the coveted diploma. Fou i y a iA cut Hammond High It ' s all over; everyone has his diploma, and the seniors march from the Civic Center two by two. The ceremonies are over, and the seniors are off to graduation parties and op en- houses. Ahead lies college or a job — an exciting new world — the seniors can hardly wait to start out.

Page Ninety-three Students Are Most Important The most important sector of any school is its students. Hammond High School is proud of the re- cord its students have made over the years, in leader- ship, service, scholarship and citizenship. This fine tradition has always been in evidence from the first student body to this year’s classes. The Jubilee Year 1961, has been one of the school’s finest. Merit Scholarship winners, top athletic teams, outstanding publications, top debaters and speakers, honor societies, have all brought distinction to Ham- mond High School. This recognition would be im- possible without the interest and intelligence of the students. Even though everyone is not a leader, pu- pils of our school conduct themselves in a manner which reflects credit on themselves and their high school. Qenio u am the, om of 1961 As their first activity as seniors, the class of 1961 elected class officers in the spring of 1960 so that class projects could begin as soon as school began in the fall. Seated — Dave Hugus, Pres- ident; Lynn Johnson, Treas- urer. standing, l-r — Dave Mueller, vice-president; Mr. Jay Wood, sponsor; Mary Jo Zandy, secretary; Miss Mae Kessing, sponsor. Officers and class spon- sors organized the seniors. “Stairway to the Stars,” the senior dance, was greatly en- joyed by the couples who attended. A committee se- lected the class announce- ments and name cards. The Class of 1961 can be justly proud of its record in academic achievements — seven Merit Scholarship finalists were from Ham- mond High. The class also had many of its members on athletic teams — champs in football, tennis, basket- ball, swimming and other varsity sports. Mr. Charles Sizemore, chemistry instructor, watches critically as senior Terry White carefully cleans a test tube as punishment for gum-chewing in class — Seniors should know better, claims Mr. Sizemore.

Ppge One Hundred Twenty-seven Two of Hammond ' s star senior gridders, George Pappas and Gary Eldridge, carry jubilant Coach Bernie Krueger from the field after the Wildcat’s defeat of East Chicago Washington. Many seniors participated in the varsity and intramural sports program at Hammond High. Outstanding performances by our athletes gave our school a fine athletic record for the 1960, 61 year. Purely for example, let us take our football team. The predominantly senior squad left a fine sport record for the class of 1961. Q uo la RxctMed Ut Apo ifa We won! Surrounded by his beaming team, Mr. Krueger smiles jubilantly after the Cats captured the N.I.H.S.C. Championship. Top Atu Ufd MC£iv hOftOM VALEDICTORIAN Nancy Miller, attractive valedictorian of the class of 1961, has had a busy high school career. She is a member of the National Honor Society and President of F.T.A. Nancy is a former member of Ace of Clubs, Junior Na- tional Honor Society, Booster Club, J.C.L. She is a National Merit Scholarship semi- finalist, and was a House Representative in 1958. In addition, Nancy was chosen by the stu- dents of the senior class and the faculty to receive the coveted D.A.R. Good Citizenship award. After graduation, she plans to attend In- diana University and teach in the secondary schools. SALUTATORIAN Susan Pollock, the salutatorian for the class of 1961, has attend- ed Hammond High for 3 Vi years, finishing school early by attend- ing summer school. Her scholastic honors are many and diversified. She is a semi- finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Examination, Secre- tary of the National Honor So- ciety, and a former member of the Junior National Honor So- ciety. Sue’s school spirit has been shown by her participation in the Booster Club, and her mem- bership in the House. She has also been active in the J.C.L., F.T.A. , and the Ace of Clubs. 1961 fvwugkt Ui own m£mo u£A Left — new lights installed in the lower halls gave a bright appearance to once dim corriders.

Such names as Conkey, Postlewaite, Thomp- son, Linden, Rand McNally, Taylor and DeLaney announced printers who had a most important part in putting into print, words and pictures created to present yearbook readers with an annual condensed panorama of life in Hammond’s oldest high school which completes the celebration of its 75th Anniver- sary this June. Significant, that this year should also be set aside to remember and revere the life of a great emancipator; and his major part in the Civil War and its Centennial which is commemorated along with our Jubilee Year. Our Congratulations to the Members of the Senior Class BOTTLING COMPANY In East Chicago, Indiana The young people you see in these pic- tures are all on their way to successful careers in one of America ' s basic industries . . . steel. They decided (as we hope you will decide) to let Inland Steel Company help them plan their future. Some are gaining knowledge and exper- ience in special trades to become journey- man machinists, carpenters or electricians . . . Some are concentrating on certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing lines. Still others are work- ing in laboratories building a sound founda- tion for a future in steel research. Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent opportunity to further his educa- tion. Employees may participate in a variety of on-the-job training programs, or they can continue their formal education by reg- istering for evening courses offered by local Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers. Plan now to investigate the unlimited op- portunities for you in steel . . . with the mid west ' s own steel company . . : INLAND STEEL.
