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.

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

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.
